This used to be a great sub, on par with DRG and such wholesome reddit communitites, I was waking up looking forward to read more creative posta where we'd rp as helldivers, officers, bugs or automatons.
This used to be something nice and unique. Yet hellcries had to fuck it up, starting with crying about railgun prematurely and ruining it down the line.
"Railgun OP!" railgun nerfes "Railgun too weak now ans useless pikachu face
"I get killed by deflect" in fact not a deflect and they fail to read the description of the gun about shrapnel shrapnel removed "auaaaAAAAGH bring it baaaaack"
Same exact shit for months:
"Take time with patches!" devs take time w patches "Where is patch, I need my stupid gun attuned to my personal vision now?!"
I cant believe Im saying this, but I wish this subreddit was strict and authoritarian hellhole like the lore in-game. It was fine when it was 1-2 posts between actually fun ones sharing videos/moments/strategies or general discussion, but theres barely anything left in this mud now. Mods need to get serious and keep balance rant in the rant megathread. My service to Super Earth will continue, but Im rarely ever here anymore.
I want to visit here to coordinate attacks for MO and have fun, not read same inert hellcrier echochamber.
I realize that we defeated PSN only because the community is so fine-tuned to collectively complain and spew forth insults, and thats sad.

Nangyari lang 'to few hrs ago at hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala. Putang ina talaga.
For context, nagpost ako few months ago sa isang sub using a TA account kasi gusto ko makipagkita/chill with other people, may nag-DM sa akin na isang redditor, tawagin natin siyang "Kups", nag click kami ni Kups kasi matino talaga siya kausap (gets niyo na yan), and same kami ng hobbies etc. Nag swap pics din kami kineme keme kaya alam ko itsura niya talaga. Nag-uusap na kami na hatid sundo na lang daw niya ako pag magkikita kami, then sabi ko malayo yung sa amin so sabi niya kahit sa SM North na lang daw kami magkita which is fine with me. Ilang weeks na din kami nag-uusap tapos hindi pa kami nakakapag meet kasi super busy daw siya sa work or busy siya tulungan si Mama niya sa business. Sabi ko okay lang, marami pa naman susunod and gets ko naman na busy siya hanggang sa hindi na kami nag-usap ulit.
Fast forward few hrs ago, binuksan ko facebook ko sa PC ko kasi may ichecheck ako sa GC namin ng mga kaibigan ko tungkol sa lakad namin next week. Pag load ng facebook, picture ni Kups yung bumungad sa akin kasama asawa niya. Sumali sila sa isang entertainment page or content kineme na page (hindi ko alam tawag basta yun, and hindi ko na babanggitin anong page yun, sure din ako na malalaman niyo yung page lol) kasi ang hinahanap ng page ay yung mga matagal na kasal na. Tang ina, nag triple check ako kung siya ba talaga yun, pa-zoom in zoom in pa ako sa picture and pinanood ko pa sa YT yung video and sure ako na siya talaga yun.
Kaya pala ang nung may nabasa ako dito sa reddit na nabudol ng may asawa, nag joke ako sa kanya (kay Kups) na need niya mag provide ng cenomar sa akin tapos tumatawa lang siya tapos sabi niya "pwede naman ako magbigay ng cenomar if gusto mo" gago, saan mo kukunin yun eh kasal ka? sa Recto? tarantado ka. Nangangati kamay ko na i-chat asawa niya using a dummy account sa facebook (yes, nakalagay sa YT video yung socmed nila) kaso ang hawak ko lang is picture na sinend niya sa akin. Wala na yung conversation namin sa reddit, and wala na din yung sa Telegram kasi nga hindi na kami nag-uusap matagal na kaya binura ko and hindi ko naman ineexpect na makikita ko siya sa fb page na yun.
KUPS, ALAM KONG MABABASA MO 'TO AT ALAM MO KUNG SINO AKO PERO PUTANG INA MO TALAGA. Mahiya ka naman sa asawa mo tsaka sa mga anak mo. Ang init ng ulo ko kasi what if natuloy yung pagkikita na yun and shit. Minsan na nga lang ako mag open ng facebook tapos ganito pa. Kingina ka. Matapilok ka sana, or mabali sana etits mo. ULOL
PS: sa mga friends ko na makakabasa, manahimik kayo diyan. Labyu

I know some folks might just say, oh just make a new character!, but I bet Im not the only player who, 1. has a bunch of characters at mid levels that they really like (40-60 for example), and 2. is attached to those characters so just deleting them to reuse the names isnt really an option.
We can already do this in diablo, taking a character that was super powerful in the last season, and rebirthing it back to level 1.
Blizz, if you read this, PLEASE implement this for MoP Remix before the event is over!

My wife (27) and I (28) are thinking about buying our first house. We currently pay $2500/mo in rent, and expect a mortgage to be anywhere from $3,000-$3,500/mo.
A quick breakdown of our finances: - household income is $200k - $20k in HYSA for emergency fund - $24k in HYSA for down payment (adding $1800 monthly) - $10k in ETFs - $135k in retirement funds (I’m maxing Roth IRA and 401k)
Debts: - $500/mo in student loans - $500/mo in car lease
I’m not worried about affording the monthly payment, as we have more than enough leftover after expenses to cover the increase. I am however worried about random house expenses that come up. If we spend the $24k on down payment and closing costs, there isn’t a ton leftover for things like furniture, fixing a broken ac unit, getting a new dishwasher, etc.
Am I overthinking it and we’ll actually be fine, or am I right that we should save up more? I also recognize our savings aren’t super balanced. The thought was save as much for retirement as possible now before kids come into play, but we could also pull back on the retirement savings a bit and save more elsewhere.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

I cannot sleep getting bummed up, so please let me lol it's a bit long so please do bear with me. And please don't hate, I hate myself enough already haha
For context, I have ADHD. I want to do things. I can do those things with ease. But I CANNOT do it. Gulo no? Haha.
It's like sabihin natin, yung goal mo is compared to say, magsaing ng kanin. Bigas? Yes meron, mamahalin. Tubig? Shet, mineral water. Kaldero? Aba complete set. Except, there's no fire. Hinalo halo mo na lahat, pero the fire cannot start at all. Ganun sya sa pakiramdam. You know you can pero di mo magawa. Ginugusto ko ba? Of course not.
Dati nung nag aaral palang ako di kosya ramdam e. In fact, I excelled in school kasi everything's interesting, I hyperfocused here and there, and nahihila ng matataas kong grades yung kakulangan ko sa ibang bagay. I maintained high grades kahit di ako nakakapagpasa ng projects. When I took the boards, I was hyperfocused on the first month and lost it the months following that. Himalang nakapasa ako without fucking it up.
Pero iba ngayon e. There's no room for a lacking piece, if may need gawin, need gawin. Kahit anong pilit kong imotivate sarili ko, di kaya. I starved myself, binubugbog ko na sarili ko, held myself from going to CR hanggat di tapos, agstay sa opisina until midnight hanggat di tapos, alaws. This work is not a complicated one ha, kasi on a hyperfocused setting this is something I can finish in an hour or two. The more I tried to force the work on me, the dumber I became. Mas malala pa dyan, my already faulty memory became worse and with my nonexistent attention span aba I can't even learn anything new anymore. Trying to learn new things is just painful now I always end up crying nalang haha
Mas masaklap pa dyan, I work from home. Madaming distractions, non existent na social life, walang pera, walang pwedeng galaan, yadda yada. And trust me when I said I tried doing new things, mag invest sa skincare, mag invest sa gym, mag invest on anything that will make me move and ang ending, gastos lang, sakit sa ulo lang, disappointment lang. I even had this one time na I actually paid for the whole month sa gym in advance just to guilt myself na gumalaw galaw at di masayang ang pera. Ganun parin. Haha
Meds, ganun din. Di biro meds, super mahal andmas masama pa nun, I crash after the effects run out. Either I get drained ng energy or I get twice as depressed after. Ah di ko maintindihan sa totoo lang
Sa totoo lang, I feel very cornered. Halfway na ng 2024. I am just a shadow of what I was siguro 5 years ago. With how bad (and fast) I am regressing mentally I can't imagine myself living five more without becoming flat out stupid hahaha
Please do drop some advice for me, but please do not hate me if I end up telling you I tried that method already or something, kasi I tried all I can think of my whole life maibsan lang haha pasensya na if I ended up dumping it here ngayon lang to matutuloy after months of discard-and -type sa ibat ibang subreddits haha

Diploma o Etraksid?
I think a lot of people misunderstood the debate here. People with Diploma are on the diploma side while people who don’t like school or dont have the access to a proper education were on the etraksid side.
Okay so here’s my take, it all depends on your industry. Kung ikaw gusto mo mag doctor, lawyer, engineer and so on. In other words. Professional. You need Diploma. To make an assurance na alam mo and pinag aralan mo talaga ang craft mo and yung diploma is a certificate for you to prove it. Well on the other side, if you want to be a musician, athlete, salesman and so on. You need etraksid. Kahit walang Diploma magiging successfull ka. And marami nang naging example neto. Which sila pa mas yumaman ng sobra.
So bat ba may ganitong debate in the first place? Gusto malaman ng mga tao kung ano ba ang route para sa masaganang pamumuhay. In other words, yumaman and maging successful. A lot of kids need to be enlightened by this. Coz a lot of them might be misguided.
Kung gusto mong yumaman and maging successful. Sapat bang maging masipag ka? Honestly, NO. Madami ako kilalang masipag pero hindi naman yumaman. Dapat ba swerte ka? Might, pero very slim chance lang na yumaman ka by luck. It all comes down to knowing what you really want to do in life. In other words kung ano ang passion mo. And once mahanap mo yun. Hindi pwedeng nandun ka lang sa gitna dahil thats where people struggle really. Being in the mid tier, yung ‘Sakto Lang’. Hindi super galing hindi din naman walang alam. Kung gusto mo talaga bayaran sa industry mo. You need to be the Top Dawg. Be a master of your own craft kumbaga. Sila yung pinaka nagiging successful sa mundo kasi sila yung pinaka nagiging kailangan ng society.
So to answer the question Diploma o Etraksid? Walang tamang sagot really kasi both is correct for me.

I don't care people got ahead by farming frogs, I don't even think they need to increase the amount of bronze dropped. The ONLY thing that needs to happen is the gear upgrades cost wayyyy less and/or get a completely new currency/system. It makes no sense at all that I have to choose between +10 ilvls on my character and the super rare 1% drop rate mount I wanted to farm bronze for in the first place in a limited-time event.
*Also the timerunner achievement items should be account wide* - it's insane that a for-fun overpowered limited time event is less alt friendly, harder to gear, and with harder to clear raids than are in the current retail season. I have 4 characters above 510 ilvl in retail and can't get my main above 330 in remix after 40 hours...
*EDIT* people are really getting hung up on a "new currency" the point is only to separate power from cosmetics, also MoP remix really only has a single currency so I don't understand people freaking out about currency bloat in this gamemode.

hahahahahaha welcome me back to reddit pls, i just got fumbled by the guy i saw and built a future with 😆 i really wanted to see where it'll go pa kasi i really liked him and we had so many plans for us, kaso wala lol when i was actually ABOUT to risk na and all he had to do was to reassure me and assert na he wants to pursue me, saka pa sya nagbago soooooo lol i know someone out there can ACTUALLY reciprocate my energy, no more no less, and someone who can PULL THRU with their words and match it with actions, so here i am! :)
for your reference, i am: - in the med field, will enter med school 🤓 - from big 4 - yapper!!!!! but i'm an intj - 5'0 🤭 - easy on the eyes, confident w my looks!!! - ive been told i have a soothing speaking voice(?) pero idk back when im handling patients, matinis daw boses ko lol - can do calls when i'm comfy! - i'm very patient and mataas bar ko sa mga bagay na need ng high tol (like if ure busy and need time off, have a lot on your plate, hectic sched, etc - i'll try to understand) pero once i feel disrespected, i will detach :D - with my weird humor, make me laugh lang, sayo na ko agad ako na bahala sa paghahabol sayo after lol JK 😡 - clingy when im SUPER comfy :) - the rest is for u to ask abt!
about you, i prefer someone sana who's: - mestizo/chinito/moreno - any! easy on the eyes 🤭 - 5'6 up! - good speaking voice 😼 lakas nyo sakin - around my age (22-27) - big 4 grad (SANA but not required ok wag nyo ko awayin lol) - in med or law or in a field ure good at - would respect my non negos and work around it - someone who'll actually CONSIDER them and keep them in mind hahahahaha - communicates 🗣️ communicates 🗣️ COMMUNICATES 🗣️ - clingy is okay! pero slowburn tayo pls? 😁 - funny and has the same humor as me! - ekis sa nonchalant utang na loob paawat kayo 🫵🏻 - interested abt getting to know me, hindi yung gagawin lang akong placeholder para may magfill ng void habang wala pa yung gusto mo
notes: - no situationships (dm me only IF ure in it for the long run) - let me vibe check muna. once we mutually agree on being exclusive, that's the only time na pwede ka na/ako mambakod 😆 - i'm icked when someone is inconsistent and refuses to communicate 😁 so if ure nonchalant and cant even text back and spare 5 mins, pls shoo away 🫵🏻 - not swapping pics til im comfy, will take a while so if deal breaker sayo, i respect that naman :)
that's all! send me an intro of u and tell me a joke na rin 🤭 see you!

About to pull the trigger on a half-ton Laramie. But keep thinking I’d regret not buying a Gladiator (with the max tow option) that I can take the roof or doors off for a daily drive to work.

• Towing: 20ft bass boat 2x/mo (4200 lb loaded)
• Towing: across OK/MO
• Concern 1: being pushed by the boat
• Concern 2: is there enough power?
• Concern 3: accident safety - young kids in the back seat (2x week)
• Concern 4: this is just silly/stupid, but never rode in a Gladiator. With everything closed up and 35” AT tires on a long drive with the family, is the road noise super loud - basically, can you have a conversation inside the cab?

Certainly a Ram probably is a better fit, but maybe I’m overthinking…

medyo mahaba to note lang po (im not very fluent sa tagalog sorry po)
so i just want to rant here. im a shs student graduating na ko next week and running as our batch rank 1/ rank 2. so i had this teacher since grade 10 ako and he's been nice to me. he made me join several research comp when i was on jhs and he encouraged me to continue studying on the same school if mag shs na ko. since i won several research fair we became close but then yung research ko nung grade 10 is proposal lang kasi pandemic pa yun so nung nag grade 11 na ko nag continue ako ng research ko with grade 10 students na (take note hindi na sya yung research teacher namin and i do 2 research papers na that time).
fast forward, nag fail yung research namin with grade 10 (our research is related to microbiology) and that time i am solely focused on my acads kasi rank 1 ako nung batch ko na grade 11. that time i learned to say no na sa kanya kasi before hindi ako nag nno sa kanya eh. and after nun nagbago na lahat. nung nag grade 12 na ko parang tinatarget nya ko kaso sya na yung adviser namin ulit sa pr and capstone. no opportunity and lahat lahat nalang na gawin ko never naging enough sa kanya. but then nag settle kami sya and parents ko. so naging okay na. but the thing is gagawin dapat namin again yung na fail ko na research before and dapat tapusin. so nag agree naman kami but my group is not the grade 10 peeps anymore kasi nag transfer sila ng school. binibigyan na nya ko ng opportunity and pinapagawa nya sakin minsan yung mga webinars or activities ng research. tapos minsan tumulong sa ibang group na bagohan sa research.
fast forward, medyo na delay kami sa research namin kasi yung chemicals for our media is mahirap i order and mahirap syang gawin. tapos yung incubator namin kailangan pa bilhin yung materials online. out of our control na talaga yung nagyayari tapos nalaman namin na si deped nag shorten so ayun taranta na kami. aware kaming lahat na hindi talaga to matatapos. kasi need pa namin mag schedule sa lab para sa chemicals and for our media and super malayo ang lab sa bahay namin. so ayun pinatawag nya yung parents para ipaalam na dapat tapusin and mag sisign daw kami nag contract na dapat matapos to and dapat gawin namin kahit graduate na kami. kaya sa june or july kailngan pa naming gawin. so okay naman sa parents namin but then ayun na nga biglang may contest again sabi nya samin mag technical daw kami sa contest kasi may additional points, tapos tulungan daw namin yung ibang groups para matapos na nila yung paper nila (mind u hindi pa tapos namin yung amin pero nag agree na kami na gagawin namin sa summer so double effot talaga kami) and sumali daw ako sa research fair kasi lahat ng sasali sa research fair is bibigyan ng highest possible grade but then yung research na gagamitin ko is hindi akin yung research na yun is from someone na graduate na but with his consent naman kasi gusto din nyang manalo yung paper nya sa contest. so ayun 2nd place ako. nag compensate kami kasi umasa kami eh na kahit di pa tapos paper namin highest possible grade.
but then kanina nalaman namin na 97 lang kami ng group ko. lahat ng classmates namin 100. mga tinulungan namin 100 tas nag ask ako sa kanya sir bakit 97 lang kami? diba sir sinabihan mo kami na may additional points and at the same time highest possible grade yung ibibigay mo if nag contest? sabi nya di naman daw akin yung paper daw pasalamat nalang daw ako sa 97 kasi its too high na daw for someone who didn't finish their paper kasi requirement nya is finished paper and unfair na daw sa iba na nakatapos (mind u hindi nila matatapos yung kanila without us). demanding daw kami sa grades namin. pero yung feeling na nag compensate kami and nag effort and like aware na sya na hindi talaga matatapos on time pero gagawin naman talaga namin kasi may agreement na kami eh nag sign na kami ng agreement form. so ayun nag reklamo ako and pinatawag yung parents namin. so bukas malalaman ano mangyayari if pasok pa na ko sa rank 1/2. sobrang sakit lang kasi nag effort kami and umasa eh. tapos yung ranking ko bababa and di na ko makaka apply sa only scholarship na eligible ako. am i wrong ba na ipaglaban grades namin?

Hi. So bit of background I started playing WoW about a month before TBC, Wrath has been my fave. I played consistently through till MOP and I took a break because having kids obsessed with Kung Fu Panda I just couldn't take the game as it was because all I heard was Po in it. Tried to get back in on and off and never really stuck till earlier this year with DF and jave loved playing so far. So when I heard about Remix and being MoP I was like ok I'll give it try, it's been several years.
So far I am loving it. I remade my BE Pally (my og TBC is just sitting bc I can't bring myself to delete it and she's a mess to play right now lol). The story so far has been great. I'm a quester at heart, dungeons and raids are cool for gear and story only but I don't need to grind them. However I do have a question, are the story writers ok...because between kicking a suicidal panda back to his town and a mom dying during childbirth of her twins...in the words of Penelope VanShweets "are you ok...do i need to get someone"....but seriously the story is great so far.
As someone who may have been a dragon in another life and likes to collect all the shinys I am super excited to be able to get my hands on mounts I've wanted (finally got my Astral dragon) and I'm collecting armor for my Palladin and Hunter, if I have enough bronze at the end I may work toward getting other armor sets for classes.
I've found myself collecting cache trunks and opening like 30 at once because I don't want to stop questing lol, and it's like a little dopamine Jumpstart to open a bunch at once. I am loving the tinkecog/meta/prismatic aspect of the armor though and would LOVE to see it integrated in some way into retail...I mean the bad guy thinks he's gonna kill me think again as I rain he'll fire and meators on you randomly buahahah. But seriously it gives a little small way to make your hero yours.
In all honesty I'm loving Remix, I'd love to see something like this eventually for all the different xp/eras of the game it gives a new aspect to it.
Just my two cents on it, agree or disagree but hope you all have fun and just enjoy the nuances of however you play.

One of my friends is in a relationship with someone none of us (her circle) approves of. At first we tried to be civil although he's really giving an off vibe. Then feeling namin masyado na siya naging comfortable since nakakausap na nga namin siya to the point na he talks to us informally already. I mean, we don't care about the age naman talaga (he's younger than us) it's actually okay if casual lang siya makipag-usap para we won't feel too old lol. Pero kasi, yung tone? I think that's it e. Idk kung arte lang namin 'to pero sana gets niyo? Kasi diba there's a certain tone talaga na when you hear from someone na di mo super close parang ma-o-off ka? Ganon. Then he also started calling us our nicknames na within the circle lang actually. Siguro kasi naririnig niya sa friend namin pero kasi!!! 😭 Alsoooo!!! He likes sending us random private messages. Like: "Hi. Kumusta ka na?" mga ganyan.
Kapag may lakad kami, he demands update from us. FROM US!!! Hindi sa jowa niya. He'll be like: "Kasama niyo si ano diba?", "Asan kayo ngayon?", "Sino ba mga kasama niyo?", "Update mo ako kung anong ginagawa niya." LIKE BWISIT KA NAGPAALAM NAMAN NA SAYO FRIEND NAMIN BAKIT ANG DAMI MO PANG TANONG?! Also, kailangan ba talaga i-update ka oras oras? For sure naman before going nasabi na sayo saan kami pupunta at kung sino-sino kami. What's the need of asking us pa ONE BY ONE. Isa-isa pa kami imemessage with the same question kainis. Every gala ganon siya. Tapos madalas di na lang nakakasama friend namin kasi di siya papayag na hindi siya kasama. EH GIRLS HANGOUT YON BAKIT KA SASAMA?!!
One time, my friends visited me sa place ko which is 4hrs drive pa. Tapos I think my friend failed to tell him saan na siya since nalowbatt siya sa byahe (but nagmessage siya nung pauwi na kami!). Sa akin siya nagmessage since ako yung pinuntahan. He started lashing out on me. EH KAGIGISING KO LANG?!! I was so pissed kasi he's already talking sh*t about my friend saying: "Ginagago na ako niyang kaibigan niyo" and such. He also threatened me na di na raw niya ever papayagan friend namin kapag kami ang kasama. So I snapped. I was like: SINO KA BA? Then ayun, magka-away na talaga kami after non. Mas hindi na siya makasama sa gala kasi my friend won't bring him. I told her about the fight. Even sent her his messages para alam niya na ganon jowa niya magsalita about her. PARA HINDI LANG NAKAREPLY GINAGAGO KA NA? BONAK. He tried to apologize pero duh. Kapal mo naman.
Today, my friend sent a message to our GC telling us to accept her friend request. It turns out that her boyfriend (or ex idk) unfriended us using HER account. So epal talaga!!! Then someone asked if they broke up blahblah. She said she already blocked him and he's annoying.
I was the last one to open the GC and I think I got a little overjoyed. I even replied "HOORAY 🙌🏻" about the break up question. 😭 Then I replied in almost every messages about the guy, trash talking him. I'm usually a seener in our GC but today ako ata pinakamadaldal.
However, after my little celebration, I felt EXTREMELY guilty. What if too much pala? Baka na-offend friend ko (PROBABLY!!!) kasi ang saya ko eh wala na nga ata sila huhu. I didn't ask pa if okay lang siya or how is she coping up since ilang years din sila. Mas nauna pa ako magsaya. 😭
I'm feeling guilty, I know I should say sorry but at the same time I don't want to because that sorry will be useless cuz I actually mean everything I said about the guy. 🫠 Pero still, I want to say sorry for my insensitivity. BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW KSHSKSKSKSKS

(Baka last update na ituu.)
May nabasa kasi ako na parang di raw totoo ‘to kasi ang daming nangyari within 2-3 weeks.
Actually, pang fourth time na pang gagago na ‘to. I don’t know, everything became messy after my birthday last December, after giving me a promise ring (na mej maluwag) and after we went to Pandora para pasukatan ang ring finger ko for engagement ring “daw”, lol. Sign na siguro ‘yung maluwag na promise ring HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.
First was last Dec, few days after my birthday, he went to our house around 10PM, lasing siya that time, galing siya sa bahay ng pinsan nila, boys night keme, but he only stayed for few minutes kasi babalik daw siya doon. Pero he told me to wait for him kasi sa’min daw siya matutulog. I waited for him, hanggang sa napuyat na ko wala pa rin. I called him many times pero walang sagot. Nag alala pa ko no’n coz dala niya ‘yung sasakyan niya, syempre naisip ko that time naaksidente na or what.
The next morning, ang dami kong missed call from his sister, asking me if I was with him hindi raw kasi umuwi hindi rin matawagan. We were all worried about him, ‘yung pinsan niya na pinuntahan niya wala ring idea kung nasaan siya kasi umalis rin daw doon pagkabalik. Guess what kung saan siya galing? Sa bahay ng current girlfriend ng ex fling ko. Oo, ang hirap paniwalaan pero yes super smol ng world. Actually, sila ‘yung common denominator namin kaya humaba usapan namin nung first usap namin sa getting to know each other stage. Friend niya ‘yung current girlfriend ng ex fling ko and nakakasama niya sa gatherings ‘yung ex fling ko pero hindi sila close. Anyways, my ex-BF hated my ex-fling, after ko kasi sagutin si ex-BF, ex-fling messaged me na bakit daw jinowa ko si ex-BF. And nung first month namin ni ex-BF, ilang beses ako pinuntahan ni ex-fling sa bahay iwan lang si ex-BF. Mas gwapo si ex-fling pero mas gago, medyo messy rin kasi ‘yung story namin HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA. Toro kasi ako before, kaya attracted ako sa red. It’s another story.
Going back, hindi ko rin alam mahal yata ako ni Lord kasi nakita ko lang naman na may story si current GF ni ex-fling na nasa inuman siya tas iba na ‘yung kutob ko. I messaged my ex-fling, I asked him kung nasaan girlfriend niya, he told me na kasama daw ni Zena, nag inom daw last night (pinsan ni current GF ni ex fling). Around 11AM, nakauwi na si ex-BF, I asked him saan siya galing, he told me sa bahay daw ni Zena siya galing with their other tropa. Syempre I already know, na nandoon din si current girlfriend ni ex-fling so I asked him if kasama ba niya ‘yon, HE TOLD ME NA NO AND HE DENIED. I messaged ex-fling if totoo ba na kasama ng girlfriend niya si Zena, sabi oo daw she even sent him a pic with Zena. So I told him my ex-BF’s answer to me na kasama rin daw si Zena. And there, ex-BF and ex-fling’s current GF were both telling us na kasama nila si Zena but denying na kasama nila ang isa’t isa. Later on, we found out from their other kasama na oo nga na parehas nga silang nandoon at magkatabi pa daw sa inuman and same room rin natulog but with Zena daw. We broke up after that but few weeks nag come back rin coz he missed me daw and that he’s sorry about what he did, the lying and denying but not sorry na nakasama niya si current GF ni ex-fling. They’re just friends lang daw talaga. Syempre, pinatawad ko, ginaslight ko pa sarili ko na baka OA lang ako. But you know what, later on I found out na clingy rin pala sila during that time, na kapag nac-CR si current GF ni ex-fling nagpapasama siya kay and ex-BF.
That was the first. The second was last Feb, nahuli ko siya na nag drunk chat sa crush niya na mahilig mag post ng naka-bikini and luwa ang suso. Binati niya ng Happy V-Day! Obob ko sobra, if you’re my friend baka nilublob mo na ko sa timba. But anyways, ayoko na. Too much na, I don’t have any plans na bumalik pa. Di na rin naman ‘yon babalik, and nakakahiya na rin sa sarili ko at sa mga kaibigan ko if babalikan ko pa. This is just a phase, things will get better rin.
Update with him and new girl, ex-BF changed his profile pic na ako ‘yung nag pic. New girl commented, “Bakit ka nagpalit DP, ayaw mo na ba sa luma?” with laughing emoji. And they went out today, guess what where he brought her? To our favorite resto, hehe. I don’t have any plans of doing any pettiness but my friends plan to. He has a secret na ang may alam lang ay ang family niya and me and his ex-GF, nalaman ko lang dahil malikot ang kamay ko and wala siyang choice kung hindi ang umamin.
Update with girl besty, she’s back in the US. Anyways, may nabasa ako na wala naman daw cheating sa ginawa nung dalawa, lols. Ang dami kong screenshot ng convo nila, favorite ko pa nga doon ay ‘yung screenshot ng suggestion niya. My ex-BF told her na nag aaway kami because of her, and this was her answer: “Makipag break ka na lang. Kasi di’ba may gano’n? Kapag di na nila kaya, araw araw nag aaway, wala na sa ayos, makipagbreak ka na lang.”
I already blocked him and all his friends and fam na rin. I really want peace.
EDIT: Looking back, aside siguro from katangahan, the memories, sa relationship na nabuild with his friends and fam, ‘yung fear na may tatanggap ba ulit sa’kin, siguro awa rin kaya nahirapan akong bumitaw every time na ayoko na tapos magbebeg na wag. He grew up without his parents, they were both gone bata pa lang siya, and he once told me na takot daw siyang maiwan coz most daw ng tao na important sa kanya either nawawala or iniiwan siya. He even asked me before to make a promise not to leave him so ayun parang nakakaawa.

we’ve been together for 6months. we do things together and all. i broke up with him kasi too much na for me. rude magsalita, simpleng bagay inaaway ako, umabot din sa point na naitulak niya ako, hinahagis gamit ko when i am about to leave kapag nag aaway kami. he really exhaust me but he’s also the one who makes me happy. btw, i’m [f26] and my ex [m25]
first few months: nagkakilala kami sa bar tapos usap then nagclick kami. few weeks okay naman siya mabait. pala kwento and all. usually he talks about his ex na toxic daw. na madami daw atraso sakanya and utang. i always listen lang naman sakanya kasi kahit ako nagkkwento about sa ex ko. nothing off naman for me kung ikwento niya ex niya. but in that story he’s the victim like they just ghosted each other. 3yrs yung relationship nila. so i just brush it off and go with the flow. we had out first kiss, tapos after nun inaway niya ako kasi i was unsure with my feelings nun. imagine 2 weeks palang kami nag uusap lalatagan niya ko ng “bat mo ko kiniss if wala ka nararamdaman sakin” linawin ko daw sakanya and all. i am not the person who easily falls for a guy. idk kung ako ba may problema. kasi the first time we talk sabi ko can he wait for me na maging okay ako mentally then we will push this thing we had. pero habang tumatagal nappressure ako and inaaway niya ako parati. bakit daw di ko siya kinocompliment. kesyo daw di ko naman talaga siya bet napilitan lang ako. buti pa daw ibang tao sinasabihan siya ng pogi ako hindi. actually marami pang petty fights. nakikipag away din siya sakin kahit na nasa office ako nagwowork. and ayun nakilala ko siya na wala siyang work. tinanggap ko siya ng buo. after a month sinagot ko siya mahal niya ako mahal ko siya. tinanggap ko siya ng buo. pero habang tumatagal lumalala kasi. di ako nag i love you nagalit. there was also a time na nagagalit siya bakit daw di ko pa siya nakikita sa future ko eh 2 months palang kami nun. nakikita na daw niya ako bilang asawa niya. i mean i am not that kind of person since complicated yung fam ko. but hindi niya iniintindi yun instead inaaway niya ako kapag ganun. i’m sorry, pero i am not the kind of person na mabilis makita yung future niya. i mean no offense sakanya, pero maski work wala pa nga siya. nag buy and sell naman siya ng products. pero idk iba pa rin pag may work. hanggang sa naging hobby ata niya pang aaway sakin. he even use my past against me. bakit daw nagpapareto pa ako 2 yrs ago. i don’t even know him that time. ginagamit lang daw ako ng mga ex ko. di daw genuine love sakin. siya daw super genuine niya and all. dun nagrevolve yung relationship. parati akong careful sa sasabihin ko kasi may mali lang na isa aawayin ako. yung away namin umaabot ng 2-5 hrs minsan buong shift ko sa work inaaway lang ako. and recently, i got out of that relationship. nagbeg pa siya and all pero my decision was final na. namimiss ko siya ngayon sobra. ang hirap bumangon. just wanna ask lang din. tama naman yung ginawa ko no? i mean i got out for my peace and for my self respect. tiniis ko kasi sa ilang buwan yung ganung ugali. sobrang hirap ako bumangon and mag heal right now. naubos kasi ako.

Hi. I (26F) found out recently na kasabwat ng ex best friend ko and kapatid (25F) ko sa pagkalat ng chismis at hubad na picture ko. Pinagkalat nng kapatid ko sa mga kamaganak ko na wild girl daw ako at kung kani kanino nagpapakarat. (Single ako and i tend to have fun sometimes talaga but i do it safely).
This sister of mine ay nakikitira sakin, i pay all the bills and groceries and hati kami sa internet which is 900 pesos lang per month. Ang pinakaambag nya sa bahay ay maglinis. That’s it. Kase wala pa syang work and kakapasa nya lang sa board exam. Lagi kami nagaaway kasi lagi nya ako pinagdadabugan at sinasagot (may anger issues talaga bata palang kami). Napuno na ako finally sa pagdadabog nya and pagsagot sagot nya sakin. Pinalayas ko sya. And sinabi ko iwanan nya ang phone nya at laptop nya dahil ako bumili lahat nun.
Dun ko nalang nalaman na chinichismis nya pala ako sa buong maganak ko. Chinichismis nyang pokpok na daw ata ako kasi naguuwi ako ng guy sa bahay ( like anong pake mo bahay ko to ako nagbabayad dito ). Di ko kasi napigilan basahin messages nya at ng mga tiyahin ko. Dun ko nakitang pinagchchismisan nila ako. Pati kapatid kong panganay. I thought my secrets were safe kasi kapatid ko sya. Wala kaming magulang growing up and kami lang ang sanggang dikit kaya sobrang sakit na ganto ginawa nya sakin.
Nagpost ako ng hubad kong picture sa isang subreddit dito na im looking for fun, and nakita sya ng ex bestfriend ko(sya lang nakakaalam ng reddit ko na yun). Sinend nya sa kapatid ko kasi nagwoworry lang daw sya at concerned daw sya. Pero itong kapatid ko. Pinagkalat naman sa buong maganak ko. Lahat pinagsesendan nya talaga. Ultimo ex boyfriend ko. Pinagsendan nila.
I am bipolar and super depressing nito for me. Sobra yung ginawa ng kapatid ko.
I feel like sobrang gago ko dahil gusto ko matauhan kapatid ko at magsisi sa ginawa nya at ibenta ang phone nya. 😭😭
Please tell me if abyg kasi this is super painful for me and grabe ung betrayal. 😢

I contemplated writing this all day but decided it might be helpful to someone else if I shared my bittersweet EDC 2024 experience.
This year was my second year at EDC, and despite a few negative experiences sprinkled throughout, I honestly had the time of my life.
Saturday, while I was sitting on the turf mound at Basspod VIP, I was assaulted. A guy, we’ll call him Mo, had come up to where me, my wife, and my wife’s friend were sitting and started talking to my wife. They chatted briefly. Then, my wife returned to dancing, and Mo turned around talking to someone else.
A few minutes later, Mo tapped me on the shoulder and said, “You and your wife look so good together.” I replied, “Aww, thank you so much,” and returned to resume my head banging. Not even five minutes later, as I was zoned out, feeling the music and vibes, I felt something brushing against my back. It was Mo.
Now, I know it’s nearly impossible not to brush up against other people, so I try to be super tolerant and understand that most people aren’t trying to be creeps; it’s just close quarters.
But no sooner than I had moved forward a bit, I felt someone’s hand underneath my vest pouch fondling and massaging my breast. Initially, when I looked back, I was confused, but I realized that Mo was lying on his back and had reached his hand under my vest.
When I turned around like, “Wtf are you doing?” He threw his hands up and just started apologizing profusely. I tried to tell him to gtfoh and go someplace else because I didn’t feel comfortable with him behind me, but he just kept saying, “I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry.”
I don't know if my wife’s friend, sitting on my right, saw what happened, but I know she saw me fussing at this guy, trying to tell him to gtfoh. She didn’t say or do anything. Then, I told my wife, who had been talking with another couple, what happened, and that I had tried to ask him to go somewhere else because I didn’t feel comfortable with him behind me but that he just stayed there apologizing over and over. She asked if I wanted to switch seats with her or if I wanted her to do anything, and I just said no.
The boy was clearly faded; he had mentioned this to my wife, and I didn’t want to ruin anyone’s experience, so I just turned around and tried to shake it off. I knew this wasn’t the end, and I was ready.
Again, not even five minutes had passed, and I felt a hand grip my right shoulder. I hear Mo start saying, “I’m so sorry, I…” but before he could finish, I turned around and punched him with probably the best right hook of my life. Or maybe it just felt that way because of how good it felt watching his body reel backward and seeing the anger rise in his face as the realization that he just got socked by a 5’4” 130 lb female set in.
As soon as I punched him, his friends came rushing in, pulling him back like, “Hey, chill! Our friend is just really fucked up right now,” blah blah blah. My wife turned to see the commotion and was like, “Aye, the next time your friend puts his hands on my wife, he’s getting beat tf up.”In response, one of the friends said, “This is my wife right here, so I understand,” trying to tell us we needed to calm down. My wife told them basically, “No, y’all need to get your friend because my wife was just about to cry when your friend was groping her breasts. Do you want to put your wife between him and my wife then?”
Maybe they only saw him grab my shoulder and me socking him, but no matter how I try to justify it, there are so many things wrong with everything that happened. First, if I ever see a woman straight up punch a man TWICE her size, I’m immediately going to ask her wtf happened and if she is ok.
Second, this experience has taught me a lot. It’s been painful, mainly because it still boggles my mind that sexual assault is so quickly brushed off. I’m not expecting anyone to lay hands on someone for me, but a little solidarity would have gone a long way in that situation.
I’m annoyed it didn’t become a scene until I punched him. No one wanted to get up and stand up to this man after he sexually assaulted me in front of hundreds of people—but throw a punch and, wow, the outrage.
None of the friends asked me if I was okay or tried to take him far away from me. I understand my wife and her friend not stepping in too much in the beginning; it is a man who is bigger and likely stronger, and women are often afraid that worse will happen if they make a scene, but still. If we all stood up to him and forced him to leave after assaulting me, it would have felt a hell of a lot better than having to wait to be touched again so that I could physically handle it myself.
With that, my only request is that my fellow rave-goers, please don’t be a bystander or an enabling friend. If you see something, say something. Every conflict doesn’t have to be resolved by violence. Myself and even five other people standing up to Mo saying hey you need to leave or there’s gonna be a scene, would have likely been enough to pressure him to find somewhere else to be a creep. Instead, I had to sit with this man less than a foot behind me who had just fondled and groped my breast and waited for him to strike again to defend myself. Even after I hit him, he and his friends just stayed. Please be the friend that understands when shit has gone too far, and get your friend somewhere different if they are being a nuisance.
It’s a hollowing experience. After I punched him, though, I felt 10000000 times better. I’m saddened that that’s what it had to come to, but the actions of everyone around me indicated that handling it myself was the only option. Maybe everyone around was too fucked up to register what was happening; perhaps they thought it would be better if they minded their own business, I don’t know.
The best part, though, was that afterward, a guy with a bag of wooden fucks gave me one. He said I had zero fucks when I punched that guy, so here’s a fuck. That was genuinely the highlight of my weekend, and if anyone knows this zero fucks given guy, send him my appreciation.
Despite this interaction, I had the most incredible time for the remainder of my weekend. For this one jackass, hundreds of people were kind to me in small ways throughout the weekend. Shout out to all my Basshead headbangers and our new friends from New Mexico, Steve-O, and Alexis, who were ready to find Mo for a little ‘chat’ after we told them what happened later that day. Although we didn’t take them up on the offer, that’s the kind of showing up that I appreciate. I can’t wait to see you all underneath the electric sky again next year.
TLDR: I was groped by a stranger, no one batted an eye, then I punched him, and suddenly, I need to chill. Please don’t be a bystander. See something, say something.

"Good-bye, lover-- It's been fun... And I always did want to go in battle. You get to keep your planet, kid... Don't forget me... Don't forget me"
