Sky 1 is a good game. It's a solid level to level platforming with a unique fun style. The minigames aren't the greatest and the story presentation tends to be really flat but that doesn't ruin the game for me. It's short so it doesn't overstay it's welcome. My biggest complaint is that it has a lives system. This came out around the time when games were starting to not of them. Banjo Tooie, Jak, and Ratchet didn't have them and I find they make the game worse. This may variety from person to person but I hate the idea of getting a game over and having to redo a whole level over again.
Sly 2 is a great game. Love the new structure. Having clue bottles in the sandbox environments satisfied my collecthon side of me. The plot and presentation was also a major step up. It did get a bit repetitive by the end and I wasn't really big on the design on the last level but it wasn't enough to kill the game. Overall a wonderful game I would say is a must play.
Sly 3 was a worthy follow up to 2 and a great end to the trilogy, It definitely had some of the best gameplay segments of the series. The main 3 are nearly perfected in their feel and missions. In Sly 2 I wouldn't play as Bentley or Murray unless I had to since they couldn't explore and get clue bottles like Sly could but in Sly 3 that wasn't an issue. I am a bit disappointed clue bottles and expensive loot was removed but it also made the games pacing tighter so double edge sword. I was fine with most of the new characters play style. The RC car had kind of wonky physics and Panda Kings mission in episode 4 dragged for way too long but overall I liked the new gameplay styles. I did not like the pirate ship stuff but maybe that's because I wanted to finish the game and if I sat down to play it again without being inpatient I might enjoy it more. I would need another playthrough to see if I like it more then Sly 2 but I very much enjoyed both and look forward to playing them again in the future.

Moving to peoria within the next year and am having a hard time finding many pictures within the city, would love if anyone with good pics of the downtown/neighborhoods/nature areas (anything besides Birds Eye view) to share them here just to get an idea of peoria :) ty!!!!

***Throwaway. Not sure if this letter belongs here, but I really need to get this out somewhere. We're currently only a month into NC and I can't handle not being able to send this to her. But, I want to respect her space and will wait until she is ready. anyway, here it is:
I want to begin by stating that the sole purpose of this letter is to take responsibility of all my actions in our relationship, something I couldn't do while we were together due to my immaturity and lack of awareness. I did not take responsibility for anything. I planned on keeping this in my drafts and not sending it. I was afraid of how you would react to this. I'm not anticipating a response from you, I simply want to express this to you because it's long overdue. I never had the chance to sincerely and completely apologize for how I exploited your trust, compassion, and love.
at the 2 year mark of our relationship I started to become manipulative, insecure, needy, immature, and I stonewalled in our arguments/disagreements constantly. I broke down, withdrew from what was going on and tried to avoid it by not communicating back to you, which put a lot of damage on us and especially you as a person overtime. I never made you feel heard. Only now I see how much it has wounded you emotionally and, I truly never intended to cause you such distress. I was completely unaware of how disgusting everything I was saying and doing to you was. It was only after you left that I finally saw the full result of my own actions. While I should have been building you up I was doing the complete opposite. I got jealous over things you never did and that was a reflection of how insecure I was about myself. All you did was try to show me love and compassion every single day and I took advantage of it. How I handled our relationship was completely horrible and I truly regret doing that to you.
I am sorry for the numerous times that I manipulated you into not doing something for our relationship, when in reality it was for my own selfish reasons. Who do I think I am? No person should have control over another person and what they can do or not do in a relationship. I made you sacrifice your happiness and sanity for mine. I selfishly prioritized my own version of happiness and completely rejected your desires and needs. My actions were the result of my insecurities, traumas, and fears, which I deeply regret projecting onto you and I am so sorry for doing so. I am finally seeking the help I need to address these underlying issues. You told me time after time to work on it and I always failed to do so.
if you ever find yourself blaming yourself for anything that has happened in our relationship, please don't. Everything was completely my fault and I could’ve handled our situations more maturely. I had the inability to do what I said I was going to do; by not focusing on the inner work necessary to grow as a person and becoming a healthier partner. I look back at who I was, and I don’t recognize that person at all. I see an immature and childish boy who lost himself, grew complacent and went back to his high school mentality. I remember you saying something related to “i have no self confidence” or something like that and in that moment it was so low that I got offended by it. WHAT A WUSS. I was ignorant about my own issues and didn’t have the courage to do the inner work necessary to grow and as a result I continued to lash out at you or blame my past for the way I am. I couldn't stand myself or look in the mirror and face the person I was; I constantly questioned you and made you feel no trust from my end because I was so insecure within myself.
You were the first person in my life to ever show me what true affection felt like. I have never ever felt anything close to how you made me feel ever since the first night we met. you saw me in a way that no other person could and it felt like you always managed to see the good in me. As Zach Bryan says in his song, "the only bad you've ever done, was to see the good in me." It hits harder now. The day I lost you is the day I finally realized that I pushed you over the edge and I have no idea how I could do that to such an amazing and loving person like yourself. It was only then, that I decided to take action, and actually put in the work to be a healthier and loving partner. I became to comfortable with the fact that I would never lose you. I truly fckn regret it. I don't forgive myself for the way I acted and handled things in the relationship, but I'm growing and learning from the mistakes I made to be a more mature and loving partner. I'm sorry it took all that pain for me to take action.
I refused to respect the boundaries you were giving to me. I didn't listen to the hints you made and didn’t realize that it was something you wanted and needed from me. I overlooked it because again, I wasn’t aware of anything. I completely understand why you are so pissed off and possibly over me. I am ashamed of the way I have behaved in this relationship. no person should have to put up with that AT ALL. I understand an apology alone cannot undo the damage I have done, but I want you to know that I'm committed to making amends, if the opportunity to prove myself ever arises. But, after everything I've done, I don't know if that is or will ever be possible for you.
I just wanted to say thank you for forcing me to rebuild and becoming a better version of myself. you made me want to be more in tune and aware from within. I'm so sorry that it took all this pain for me to finally put in the work. I became so unattractive in your eyes and I know you couldn't stand who I turned into. I grew complacent and lost that happy, loving person you fell in love with. I'm not expecting you to stay as a friend or take me back as a partner. I now completely understand how badly I took advantage of your time and love throughout our relationship. no matter what happens, just know I love you with everything in me and always will, no matter what happens between us. You will always have a special place in my heart until that casket drops.
I'm truly, TRULY, sorry for giving you such an unhealthy commitment for the time we’ve been together.

I think “my simple pleasure” is the best prompt. If used right it’s a good way to say things you like. For example mine was- thrift stores, new tattoos, Philly sports and R&B. Really depends how you write it
As a woman, I’d advise men not to use “I won’t shut up about,” as a prompt.
Woman constantly complain about men dominating verbal conversations. Saying you “won’t shut up about…” just reinforces that you might be one of those guys.
I think if you actually have a good travel story, that prompt can work. That is to say, I think that the "tiers" really fluctuate a lot from person to person, and your qualifiers ("this works if you're funny") are kind of proof of that.
For example, I have two pretty good stories about coming face to face with sharks, and one less good story about coming face to face with a shark. I think that the shark thing is just crazy enough that it intrigues most people. But you have to have a genuinely good story for it to work.
Also, someone else said they need to get rid of prompts - I disagree. It's really annoying if you try a new prompt and then can't go back to your old one.
I think “my idea of a good Sunday” is a great prompt bc if guys include it and they say “church,” I’m 95% more likely to like them.
THERE'S AN ART to curating your Hinge profile. If you're looking for quality matches, don't be the guy with a barren profile who sends a mildly-enthused "hey, how's it going" to every potential partner. Hinge offers a feature called prompts: conversation starters that let you show yourself off and spark more substantive conversations—and you should use them to your advantage.
Choosing the right Hinge prompts—and writing good answers those prompts—will help you scan the many fish in the sea to find those most suited for you. It might sound like a daunting task to craft the perfect profile, but at least you're an expert in the subject matter: you.
Best Practices for Crafting Your Hinge Prompts
Having an air of mystery may seem hot in movies, but it's just a waste of time in real life—especially when it comes to dating apps, where determining what's real and what's not is so much more difficult than it is in person. "Being coy may seem like a safer way to interact on apps, but it doesn't yield fruitful results," Engle says. (No one's swiping right on a bio that says "I suck at writing bios.")
So nix those coy answers and get specific when you fill out your Hinge prompts. The more specific you get, the likelier you are to match with people that are similar to you. That means you'll really have to think about yourself and want you want.
Be specific when discussing what you're looking for, too. Vagueness won't help narrow your options. For example, don't just say you're looking for "someone with a lot of personality" (is anyone not looking for someone with a personality?); say you're looking for "someone with a lot of energy, and who enjoys being active and trying new things" (or whatever that personality looks like to you). Be honest, both with yourself and in your profile. Don't say you're "super into the gym" because you want someone with a six-pack, when in reality you haven't been to gym in six months and have no intention of starting again.
Add a variety of prompts to paint a full picture of yourself. If all of your prompts are jokes, that doesn't reveal a ton about you. But, if all your prompts are serious, you might come off as a little intense—and you won't be revealing much about your day-to-day life.
The 20 Best Hinge Prompts to Help You Get You a Response
Here are 20 Hinge prompts to get you off the apps and into real relationships.
I'll pick the topic if you start the conversation...
Starting a conversation isn't easy, and with this prompt, you're meeting them halfway. It creates less of a barrier to entry for the person doing the messaging. Pick a topic you're interested in or care about, and "be as specific as possible," Engle says.
What you can say:
The best bands to come out of the 90's.
The worst holiday traditions.
The best and worst concerts you've seen.
The last time I cried happy tears was...
"Consider the things that really make you YOU," Engle says. Mentioning things you care about "will allow you to engage with like-minded people who share similar likes and interests."
What you can say:
When they showed Jason Kelce ripping his shirt off at Travis's touchdown against the Bills.
At the closing scene of All of Us Strangers.
When I PR'ed my back squat (the boys didn't see).
The one thing I'd love to know about you is...
It's always nice to see someone on a dating app be interested in you, even if they haven't seen you yet. Put that energy out there with this prompt. People might feel more comfortable responding when it's something about them, since they know themselves the best. Find a topic that's important to you, and let your potential match take it from there.
What you can say:
What would you do for a living if money weren't a factor?
What's your go-to coffee shop order?
Were you a Nickelodeon or Disney kid?
Let's make sure we're on the same page about...
The great thing about this prompt is you can make your answer as lighthearted or as serious as you want. If you have something that's a deal-breaker for you (like wanting an open relationship), you can insert that here. It also works if you have something a little less serious that still plays a role in your life (like putting pineapple on pizza) and you want to get that out there.
What you can say:
Not wanting kids.
The ending of Game of Thrones.
The shape of Earth.
This year, I really want to...
This prompt is an excellent way to open up potential first date options, or show how you want to work on yourself in this upcoming year. Want to get more creative, more fit, or try something new? Maybe someone out there wants to do the same—and wants a partner to do it with.
What you can say:
Try a ceramics class.
Drink less.
Find the best burger in town.
I'm looking for...
If you already know what you're looking for, you may as well lay it all out there. That being said, don't nit-pick or be judgmental in your answer. Don't be too vague either, or you won't narrow down your options for people best suited to you.
What you can say:
Someone who will get along with my family.
Someone comfortable with being in an open relationship.
A good time, not a long time.
My simple pleasures...
You're probably looking for someone with similar interests as you (at least, we hope you are). "Prompts serve as conversation starters, so consider your interests, hobbies, and skills and lead with those," Engle says. Odds are someone shares them with you.
What you can say:
The smell of fresh cut grass.
When Debbie from marketing brings in banana bread.
Open sunroofs.
I go crazy for...
Another easy way into talking about the things you like—but make sure it's something you can carry conversation on. "Focus on answers that you can go into detail on," Engle says. "Talk about interests, hobbies, and goals outside of romantic relationships to give potential partners a full picture of the person you are."
What you can say:
Planning my next trip before the one I'm on has even ended.
Barry Keoghan. Obviously.
Reruns of Pimp My Ride.

You should leave a comment if...

This is another way to discuss what's important to you, with a call to action for the other person. You can pull in your hobbies, hopes for the future, or interests—the world is your oyster here. But remember: specifics, specifics, specifics (don't just put down "you like sports").

What you can say:

• You were hoping for a Ravens versus Bills Super Bowl.
• Your Spotify daylist often includes the term "mallgoth."
• You're on the dance floor all night at the club.

A shower thought I recently had...

Balance your prompts by throwing in a lighter option here and there. A shower thought is a great way to show off your humor and how your mind works. Get creative.

What you can say:

• Could really use a beer in here.
• Whose Line Is It Anyway needs a reboot.
• Is Punxsutawney Phil doing okay mentally?

Green flags I look for...

Get a little deeper into what you're looking for in your person by hinting at characteristics you want to see in someone. It's better to be open and honest about what you're looking for in a potential partner then have to do the dirty work of talking to a bunch of people only to find out you don't actually see a future with them.

What you can say:

• Funny conversation, but can get deep, too.
• Tipping 20 percent, always.
• Emotional support water bottles. Here for the hydration.

We're the same type of weird if...

Have some nuance interests that you want to get out there? Here's your chance.

What you can say:

• You're hitting up the Renaissance fair every time it comes to town.
• You're the person everyone wants on their trivia team.
• You enjoy 5Ks on Thanksgiving, too.

I hype myself up by...
Everyone gets nervous when it comes to online dating. Confidence is hot, but most of us aren't 100-percent confident all of the time, and that's okay. This shows you're nervous, too, but can hype yourself up when need be.

What you can say:

• Blaring some hard rap.
• Power posing.
• Hitting the gym.

I feel most supported when...

Dating app prompts aren't all about making the right joke or being overly funny. You'll want to layer in some real prompts, too, to show potential partners you can get deep. This prompt is a great way to do that without getting too vulnerable before you're ready. Plus, it reveals a little bit about what you want out of a relationship.

What you can say:

• My partner help around the house.
• There's healthy communication.
• My family and friends support my work.

A fun fact about me is...

An oldie but a goodie. To mix in a lighthearted prompt with some deeper ones, stick with what you know and toss in your go-to fun fact from freshman seminar in college. Don't over think the "fun" part—just pick something you think is unique about yourself!

What you can say:

• I've been cage diving with sharks.
• I speak four languages.
• I never lose in Mario Kart. Ever.

Teach me something about...

Want to learn something new and find a partner at the same time? This is also a great way to show an interest in potential partners by making your answer something related to them. Like we said, people are always more comfortable talking about themselves because it's the one thing they know everything about. People love talking about their passions... maybe someone out there has the same one as you. This is a great way to find out.

What you can say:

• The Roman Empire
• Your ick list
• What you want to see in a partner

I know the best spot in town for...

Hate the phase of online dating where you message back and forth forever and never actually get to a first date? Us, too. This prompt can help speed up that process by getting you out of the app, and meeting in person. Suggest something you'd want to do for a first date.
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

What you can say:

• $5 happy hour Miller Lites.
• VPR watch parties.
• Live music.

First round is on me if...

Another prompt that gets you out of the app and right into the first date. Plus, you can pose a characteristic you really want to see in a partner: a win-win. PSA though: If it translates, you do actually have to pay for the first round.

What you can say:

• You love a Dadbod.
• You also cried when My Chemical Romance broke up.
• You're okay with my dog joining us.

My typical Sunday...

This gives a little snippet into your every day life. You're probably looking for someone who lives a similar lifestyle to you (if you're a "sleep until the afternoon every weekend" kind of guy, you're probably not looking for a "6 a.m. half marathon on a Saturday" kind of girl), and this is a great way to give them that insight.

What you can say:

• Rearranging all my furniture...again.
• Hitting the snooze button relentlessly.
• A walk with the dogs, football with the guys, and meal prep.

Give me travel tips for...

Have a trip coming up? Hit two birds with one stone: get some travel recommendations and start up a conversation with a potential special someone. It's an easy entry to talking, and you can quickly branch to "well, where else have you traveled to recently?" Even if you just put down your neighborhood—there's nothing like a little stay-cation.You should leave a comment if...

This is my first time posting to this subreddit but I've been lurking for a while. I don't know if my problem counts as vaginismus, but it's the closest I could find. I'm 20 years old and I've never put anything inside my vagina, not even one finger or a tampon. I honestly don't even know if I have vaginismus because I've been too afraid to try, but I have a strong feeling I would be too nervous/stressed to relax enough if I ever did.
I feel so incredibly alone in this issue. Everybody I've told treats me like I'm crazy for feeling this way, and I have never found a single resource online about it.
The issue is that I'm at the point in my life where my doctors want me to get a pap smear. The idea of doing this makes me so scared and nauseous that thinking about it for too long causes panic attacks. I know that I can't put it off forever, especially since I have abnormally painful periods that I should probably look into.
I want to get over this phobia so badly, but I don't know where to start.
Does anyone have any advice for what I should do? Is there a recommended way for me to desensitize myself? I'd prefer to use an object and not my finger. Should I start with a tampon? Do you have any tips for how to relax or what position to be in?
Any advice is welcome. Thank you so much.

im doing the shirne challenge but i have no idea were it could be i have been searching for HOURS i can't find it

Why does the vertical reroll trait in the 'for fun' mode have the option to just 'miss' and give you a random (most likely useless) unit instead. The whole appeal/idea of yordles was playing a bunch of arguably bad units and the trait helps you star them up. Is it really that op if I can get a 2 drop unit I still NEED (my main annoyance, I can understand not always giving the 3 cost because of the exalted cheese) rather than a random dairus or ahri I literally cannot field and now my for fun trait is "gain one gold a round!"
I just wanted to play vei again but I die out to all the other extremely powerful prismatic traits and never have a glimpse of a chance :(

As the title goes. More context on the situation:
I'm someone who was in an abusive relationship (with no kids or anything that attaches me to him) before meeting him and to be fair I kinda became numb towards my own feelings as well as being drown in loneliness so to counter the later a little bit I started playing a game I used to play, that's where I met him. We live around 8h apart and got to see him once, we pretty much clicked that weekend I went to visit him and haven't felt this happier to hang around someone in a long while, we have been knowing each other for almost a year now.
Context I can give you about him is that he also comes from an abusive relationship (got beaten by his ex-wife, ridiculized, rejected whenever he tried to do nice things for her), has a kid (which he still loves and mourns) and the mother pretty much banned him from ever seeing his child again and that broke him for years with depression, suicidal thoughts and attemps but thanks to the support of his family he somehow has come out of that very very dark place. As of now he is doing much better but still affects him a lot and is more of a shot first ask questions later whenever he takes desicions (which he regrets sometimes, tries to backtrack and repair the damage done) but also and most importantly he believes he's worthy of no one in his life because a woman would be a dead weight (please remember this bit of information, I'll explain later) while he just became a workaholic.
We have been talking for almost a year now, our conversations went from friends having a good time and joking around to a more warm and personal conversation in about 4 months (I visited him at month 2) and something I noticed is that I think he doesn't notice he isn't 100% sold on the "I don't want another partner in my life" because sometimes he would express how much he would like to find someone but later would say having a partner is pointless and eventually turns boring. With me he has been a complete sweetheart to the point we both have pet names for each other.
Something worth mentioning is that we both have a group of common friends from that game so we both share a lot of discord servers as well as other common means of communicating with everyone. Our friends know he has very peculiar humor and will meme everything under the sun, people love to be around him even though he says that he's not a "thing" that can be loved or feel love, ever again, I always try to tell him how much people appreciate him being there, hanging out with him.
So to the point of what started the mess. Things were good until a week ago when I noticed he was stressed and a bit more impulsive than normal, would decide to do something but 1h later would change to something else like if he was seeking for something but still not finding it, I asked him if he was alright but said yes, that everything is fine.
Two days ago in the early morning, like an hour before I woke up to get ready to work he wrote me the following:
I'm sorry I have been absent and I would like for us to take a few steps back, yesterday something happened and I started daydreaming with you more than what I should... Daydreaming stupid things unconsciously so it is best for me to step back, have some space between us until I figure out what's going on with me because I'm a complete retard and I don't know what's happening to me.
I'm sorry for telling you all this like that but I just needed to take it out, I'm not trying to get any ideas going... Is just a precaution measurement to avoid stupidity from my end. It was truly a pleasure to meet you, hang out with you and I really really hope you finally find happiness... Please be happy, good bye.
I did reply to him telling him how hearthbroken I am for that decision, how much he should value himself and the reasons why and also that I'll be there for him if he ever reach out to me again... Haven't talked to him since then and during these 2 days I have been trying to figure out why all this happened and why it hurts so much, I came to the conclusion that I was ignoring how I was developing feelings for him and how the way he related with me lately most likely wasn't that of a friend.
As far as I know after he wrote that he went nuclear with the discord servers and other common means of communications we had, several friends said he gave them other reasons for his decision (you all are bad influences lol, wanna focus more on my live and be the best of me physically, I'm too much of a couch potato) but I don't know how much to believe those reasons, yes those are some of his worries but, as an example, several times he has emphasized he would liked me to meet him whenever he was in a better physical shape so I wouldn't think he's a looser (he's chubby and 1.7m tall, honestly a 1.56m smurf like me couldn't care less about having more to hug and love)
So what you think about this situation? Is this salvageable? If you have questions I'll try to answer them as much as I can as edits so those don't get lost in the comments.

Hey there, I feel like a moron, I'm looking all about the internet, went to two or three local big name shops, been hunting most the month.
​
I need a chair.
A very comfy chair.
A durable, can sit in a looooong time, very comfy chair.
A chair made to be simple, it doesn't even need to recline, doesn't need a cupholder, no need for crazy spinning or bouncing, lights, subwoofer, disco ball, or built in life support!
Just...chair.
I've got nerve pain in between my shoulders that lights up my arms, nerve damage in my left thigh that flares in angles where my feet arent grounded or supported proper.
I've got dogs, cats, a baby nephew, and I'm getting older.
It'd be mighty nice if maybe there was a nice high-back chair I could use with my tv and support my head. The kind of chair I can pop my lapdesk onto my leg and use my keyboard/mouse. That kind of chair that aint breaking or deflating anytime soon.
​
I have no idea where to find the damned thing. Mind helping?

Now its not what it seems like! And sorry for the long post ahead.
Ive been talking/ working out with this girl for the past two months and i find her really hot, we quickly became friends after i approached her one day after workout i had no idea shes into girls, we connected pretty fast and one day after gym i asked her if i could kiss her and she let me, that led to me eating her out several times in the locker rooms obviously not receiving anything back but her kisses would make me soaked. Anyway obviously i was catching feelings so i started bring her presents and i would drop her favourite stuff at her doorstep and bring her breakfast in short i really cared for her. I also clarified that i just want to be her good friend and i know she wasnt looking for anything serious either because shes only here for another 2-3 months. When shes stressed i would give her massages so she could relax, listen to her rants, advise her. Offer her my help which she would never take but atleast i tried continuously.
We would text sometimes but not alot because shes bad at replying. Sometimes she would reply right away and the dissappear for a day and reply the next, she used to like my stories and i would always compliment her on her pictures. Bit then she stopped liking my stories, i would still though, at the gym we would talk normally sometimes she would hug me infront of others and rant about her job (which i know is causing her alot of stress but i had given her soo many suggestions on how her situation can be better but she wouldn’t do it) so i just listen like a good friend i think i / was. So she started replying less n less and i had been asking her to hangout since we met n she would say she wants to but never could make time or suggest a time when we can. I asked her so many times that i started to sound desperate. I still cared for her alot and when she doesnt come to the gym i seriously feel something is missing i dont enjoy those days too much. So because of her jobs nature our timings would change from next week n i am not going to see her at the same time i go. So i was naturally in my feels and was getting frustrated that she never is available to talk even at night? She says she was up all night so she never thinks about me like i think about her?
Anyway i messaged her because i was feeling so depressed and i was missing her n crying. I said ive had this feeling for a while that shes ignoring me, i do understand the nature of your job so i didnt say it earlier, i told her i care for her and have gotten “attached to her” i also said that i knoe she doesnt like when someone gets attached to her she becomes distant she said she never develops feelings for anyone even the girls she dated before. I know so much about her that i knew the answers to everything i was saying/ asking her. I think my message was very heartfelt and sweet or maybe sounded a bit needy but in my defence i told her im pmsing and super emo and im sorry for causing any stress and that i wouldn’t bother her by messaging her again. I had to let these feelings out because i always give others benefit of doubt and disregard my instincts just to keep them a bit longer. But i said all these things because i was at a point where this situationship was causing alot of stress in my day to day life.
So she saw the message a day later and no reply!! I think this is the closure that i needed.
What do you guys think, was i wrong? Or did i do the right thing sort of ending it sooner than later

So my parents were at the avenues mall and they were approached by some travel agent looking people asking them questions like 'what is the capital of south africa' and whatnot, then they tell my parents that they won some gift for which they have to go to the shah nagardas building (al khuwair) where their main office is, they go there and they basically explain them that they can own some resort/unit in turkey which they can stay in 7 days a week (every year) but have to pay monthly installment. I believe they gave a final amount of 3460 omr of which my dad already paid 1400 of. They even gave him some vip card saying that it will give them discounts on booking flight tickets, getting visas. I have no idea why they even thought this was legit and didn't even call me to check the legitimacy of these scams. I'm here in the west stressing the hell out. These were the same people who would make sure where every single baiza they earnt went and today this happens. Please help me regarding how we can escape this .

I got a sleeve a few years ago as a first tattoo that I still like, but an ex shared some photos and videos (to put it lightly) where the tattoo was visible, in addition to some other nasty stuff. Every time I look at the tattoo for a bit too long, I start getting some bad feelings and thoughts that stem back to that situation. I'm open to the idea of covering it up, especially if I find an artist that I really like for doing a massive work, but I'm currently leaning a bit more to having it fully removed due to what my ex did.
I'm just wondering if anyone here has gone through a similar situation and has any advice to give regarding the possibility of the tattoo being removed or covered up in some way.
Also, if any moderator thinks this post would be better suited for another subreddit, please let me know and I will remove this post from this subreddit.
Thank you for taking time to read my post 🙂

Hello all, i recently started playing the game and was wondering if i should get the dragonflight expansion or wait for the next expansion? I’m stil learning the game, I am at lvl 20 doing the main story. And I saw that the new expansion is anounced. Should i wait to get that one? Or is it still a good idea to get the dragonflight one as well?

Look, I'm from the UK and I'm tryna get into Hockey as a sport, and thought the NHL was the best place to come for that.
I've been watching a few games, but I can't exactly find a team I sync with? And since I don't have a local, it's kinda hard to find that attachment.
Honestly, I'm looking for a team with a bit of history, nothing too recent, with some iconic players to look back upon, but a team that also hasn't just had all their success decades ago, but also aren't just winning everything/won everything. Looking into it, I've been struggling to find what I'm looking for. I want something with a passionate fanbase, that always tries their best to win, even if they end up coming up short. I don't mind rooting for the underdog.
I feel like something more focussed on team play, then having a one-man focus/building the team around one man is something I'd want, an attacking style of play, I don't really mind if it's physical or more skill based, either or is fun to watch, players playing with passion.
Though, my final requirement would be a cool jersey/logo. Like the colors, something that clashes well, and doesn't feel like an odd/abstract combo (Looking at you Oilers).
If anyone here watches Football/Soccer something like a Borussia Dortmund or similar enough.
Any ideas?

Fellow millennial parents, do you find it weird or questionable for a parent to mainly befriend opposite gender parents of their kids friends?
I'm a dad who takes care of most of the children activities, school pickup drop off, play dates, after school classes, etc. and I have found that I usually much prefer hanging out with moms than dads. This is likely because I love chatting about stuff but most dads are nice but won't really join in or contribute to the conversation. I end up connecting better with the moms but I frequently find myself being the dad in a mom group and I am very self conscious about how the other parents may feel about this.
Also why on earth can't men talk anymore?...

I’m wondering about this idea I just had. I know of two main kinds of traders:
1.The day trader who’s looking for hot stocks that make big moves and wishes to profit by going long/short on these moves (usually basing it on technical analysis and breaking news).
2.The long term investor: looking to find stocks that performed really well or really bad (go short on these) over the past years (usually basing his investment on a companies fundamentals).
What if there’s a 3rd kind of trader who’s spotting hot trends in the market and who’s looking to gain about 10%-30% on well performing stocks, but in the shorter term of a week to a month? It seems to me that this 3rd method holds less risk and less stress when trading it, if you know which stocks to pick out.
What are you guys thinking and have any of you ever traded this way? I used the example of companies and stocks but this can also be translated to crypto, commodities, ETFs and indices.

23f here, unemployed, trying to crack banking exams. It's been 3 years now. During first year i was just learning and having fun , i spent another year procrastinating and i couldn't pass the mains exam. 3rd year made me realise that it is now necessary to get a job cuz my family was pressuring my parents and me for marriage. I'm a single child of my parents and tbh i don't want to marry anyone unless i genuinely find someone right. But i don't have much freedom to have a discussion. The only privilege that I've is my grandparent's love for me and they wantme toget a job first. Cuz we are not financially stable to a a good govt. Job wala groom. Dowry system exists here and it's tough to find a good match.
Yesterday my chachu was arguing with my grandma that people are asking him about my marriage and when will they start finding groom for me. I'm getting older and all. Job to shadi k bad bhi lg jayegi etc. I'm tired of this BS. I'm afraid about AM meeting setups too. I'm an introvert and it'll be tough for me. I hope i succeed in getting a job this year.
Why do we as girls have to fight for every basic right. Why are we considered a property, a responsibility that needs to be fulfilled. Who gave these men the right to do a daan of us. I hope i earn lots and lots of money to help other little girls.

My initial thought was Slayer (study target is locking on) using a greatsword, and take the demon mythic path.
The trouble comes with alignments, because I find Chaotic Good to be the most fitting alignment, but in that case demon would knock me into chaotic evil, and I'd have to maintain at least chaotic neutral to keep progressing.
Any other ideas or suggestions on how to execute?
