2024.05.21 14:46 CalebVanPoneisen The Five Orbs of Knowledge

“Will you look at that,” Captain Yontan marveled from the observation deck. They had arrived in the Solar System at long last, the old bastion of knowledge mankind had abandoned many millennia ago.
“Such a basic tech, yet so beautiful, so… poetic,” Lezlybe uttered, gazing at the constant flux of Sunfire Conduit pulled from the sun to one, two, three relays, and finally to the surface of Pluto, where its energy was being harnessed inside a crater. “And you’re certain that’s where the Ultimate Knowledge is stored?”
“Yes,” Yontan nodded. “Every clue leads to Pluto. Can you imagine? The Ultimate Knowledge, lost for millennia, on this planet out of all places.”
“Ready to descend at your command, captain,” announced Ghenna.
Yontan turned to his crew and smiled. It was the first time they had seen him do that in months. “Hover around the south-south-eastern quadrant of the crater. That’s where the entrance is supposed to be.”
“Yes, Sir!”
Lezlybe’s turned to face the captain, her long black hair swirling around with her.
“Wouldn’t that energy burn us on approach?”
“It might be basic tech, but not that basic, Lez,” said Yontan. “It’s safe up to a distance of 100 meters. Don’t underestimate the intelligence of our ancestors because they built this thing in the distant past. They were as smart as us. Smarter even, in certain aspects, I’m sure.”
“Found the entrance, captain,” said Ghenna. It was a pale peach colored door built on the craterside.
“Land near it, wherever it’s stable.”
“Yes, Sir!”
The ship touched down next to the Hollis Crater. Yontan and four others suited up and left the craft. Before heading for the door, the team stopped to gaze at the Sunfire Conduit from their position. It went up, up, up as far as the eye could see.
Jmerr was awestruck.
“I can’t believe we’re able to look at it with basic sun visors. Do you think our ancestors purposefully designed it like that?”
“Of course,” said Yontan, mesmerized by the spiraling blaze swooshing down the crater. “Aesthetics have always been important, especially since it used to be connected to three planets, two dwarf planets, and eight moons. Many renown painters have depicted the Conduits in their art. Although no physical portraits survived, their works have been well documented over hundreds of books.”
Lezlybe approached Jmerr and put her hand over his shoulder.
“I kind of wish we could hear its thunderous sound. I imagine it’d be a satisfying swoosh, kind of like a blowtorch.”
“You’d be deaf before you’d hear a thing,” laughed Yontan. “We’re speaking of extremely powerful jets coming from a star, after all. I can’t wait to see why they’re pulling so much energy on such a small planet. It’s totally excessive in my view.”
“Maybe it’s not,” said Lezlybe. “Especially if the Ultimate Knowledge is behind this door.”
The team approached the door, a small black panel to its side. Yontan placed a round device on top and, seconds later, it retracted into the ground.
“A Grampus?” frowned Jmerr, even though no one could see his face behind the visor. “Why do you use this old AI?”
“Because I don’t know the code,” explained Yontan as they stepped inside a long hall. “So I brought this device with me to crack the password. Don’t forget that this here is also old tech. Newer devices could break something.” He glanced over his shoulder at the wide-open entryway with the ship not too far behind. “But it looks like the Grampus broke it anyway since it doesn’t slide shut.”
At the end of the wide turquoise hall, another door was easily popped open with Yontan’s device. This time, however, the heavy door closed shut when the last person stepped in.
“I hope we’re not trapped in this small room,” gulped Lezlybe.
“Don’t worry, we can ask someone on board to cut it open if needed,” said Yontan. “After all we –”
PSHHHHHHHH
A burst of gas sprayed them from all sides, followed by a shower of heavy liquid. A few moments after it stopped, the door in front of them opened, and a gentle male voice greeted them.
“Welcome to U.K. ONE. The current air pressure is at 101.3 kilopascals, with a temperature of 22.4 degrees Celsius and a humidity level set at 60% RH.”
The voice then proceeded to inform them about the room’s condition among other sets of data.
“I see. We were inside a basic decompression chamber,” muttered Jmerr.
The tallest crewmate, Lessandre, popped his helmet off and took a deep breath.
“Ah, historical fresh air,” he boomed, looking around the oval room. “It brings a tear to my eye.”
“What are you doing?” Yontan shouted. “We don’t know what particles or microorganisms could linger in here.”
“Relax, captain. Tyche analyzed the air and told me it’s fine. Why don’t you all retract your visors and experience this multimillennial-old air? You’ll never have the chance to do that again, you know.”
Yontan checked with his own version of his AI, Tyche, and everything seemed to be fine, so he retracted the visor of his helmet as well, just in time to scratch an itch on his beard. The rest of the crew followed, except for Jmerr.
“Come on, Jmerr. It’s a unique experience, my friend,” beamed Lessandre, tapping on his shoulder.
Jmerr scowled at Lessandre. “I refuse to take unnecessary risks.”
“As you wish,” Lessandre grinned, loudly sniffing the air. “Ahhh. The air in here is exceptionally… how to describe it?”
“Dusty?” Lezlybe chimed in. “I think the auto-clean on the filter stopped working long ago.”
Yontan was ignoring his crew, inspecting the walls of this oval room for clues. But the room was pretty much empty, outside of the air conditioning holes and lights flickering on the ceiling.
“I know there’s another door on the other side of the crater, but that one’s the entrance to the accumulator and workspaces,” he muttered to himself, caressing the wall in the hopes of finding a button or a gap of sorts.
“Is that place also turquoise?” asked Lessandre. “I really hate this color. Reminds me too much of my ex.”
Lezlybe rolled her eyes.
“Then why don’t we go there?” asked Ghenna, who had closed her visor since she didn’t like the smell.
“Because,” began Yontan absent-mindedly while brushing his hands over the wall, “every document points to this place. We’ll check the other site if we don’t find anything here. Now if only I – aha! A button. This might be it.”
Yontan pushed it with his finger. Instead of clicking, like any other button would, his index finger sank completely in. He immediately withdrew it, fearing something might cut his finger off. But the button came back, except it was now white and protruded out of the wall. Yontan hesitantly pressed it.
An oval pedestal emerged from the middle of the floor, gradually rising until it reached chest height. The left side slid open with melodious clicks, and out came a small table with a round black object on it with a sky-blue center. Before they had the time to guess what it was, a hologram rose from it, displaying the head of an old balding man with a lazy eye.
“Greetings, future humans,” said the feeble voice. “And welcome to K.U. ONE. What is your purpose here?”
Yontan glanced at his crew, who gave him a nod and shrugs. He cleared his throat and spoke clearly, “We’ve come here to gain access to the Ultimate Knowledge, which is said to contain the answers to our purpose within the universe.”
“I see. And you are one, two, five. Oh! That is good news, good news indeed. I’ve been waiting for you. Well, not me per se, since I’m long dead, I suppose,” the hologram laughed, “but my digital image. And five? Oh, proof that nothing happens at random.”
Yontan was slightly taken aback.
“Wait. You’re not a simple recording?”
“No, no. I’m enhanced with artificial intelligence. It speaks as I would speak, saying what I asked it to say – with a bit of panache. Now, move to the other side of the pedestal. It will pop open and contain a box.”
The other side popped open, displaying a silver box embossed with gold on the edges. It was beautiful. Lessandre grabbed it and tried to pry it open.
“Tut-tut! You need the key to open the box. I’ll hand it over only of you accept to eat its contents.”
“Eat it?” Yontan uttered in excitement. “Will it alter our brains? Give us the knowledge we yearn for?”
“Not quite. But it is a necessary step.”
“I won’t touch it,” Jmerr stated firmly. “I don’t trust this man. Whatever’s inside, it’s been in there for thousands of years. There’s no way it’s still edible.”
“Oh but it is,” grinned the man. “What do you think the Sunfire Conduit is used for?”
“What?” uttered Lezlybe. “The power of the sun used for… food?”
“Of course, there’s more to it. But a lot of energy is necessary to cool it down to near zero kelvin and keep it that way until it’s very slowly reheated to the ideal temperature for you to savor.
“Now, will you eat its contents or not?”
“Why don’t we bring it back to the ship and study it?” suggested Jmerr.
“The moment you leave the room with the box, its contents will be destroyed, and so will the key to Ultimate Knowledge.”
Yontan exchanged a glance with his crew. Lessandre gave him thumbs up, Ghenna nodded and Lezlybe shrugged. Jmerr was the only one to firmly shake his head.
“Fine, we’ll eat its contents,” said Yontan, upon which Jmerr put his hands up in the air in frustration.
A key appeared from the front of the pedestal. Yonan used it to open the box Lessandre was holding. Five dark-brown spherical objects were neatly placed within fitting molds, resembling the five dots on a die.
“Behold the Five Orbs of Knowledge,” the hologram said solemnly. “I recommend one for each of you.”
Jmerr crossed his arms. “There’s no way I’m touching this.”
“What if someone eats two?” asked Yontan, eyeing Jmerr.
“It would sadden me, even though it might be beneficial to grasp the Ultimate Knowledge.”
Without hesitation, Lessandre popped the middle one in his mouth. Every other crewmate was staring at him. A few bites in, he suddenly froze, eyes wide open. His gaze slowly shifted from Yontan, to Lezlybe, to Ghenna – whose visor was now lowered – and finally stopped on Jmerr.
“Awl eash ‘em bofh,” he rapidly chewed, popping a second one in. “Awl eash ‘em owl ihf you guysh downt.”
Yontan’s hand was shaking as he picked his Orb. Lezlybe and Ghenna also chose one.
“On the count of three,” gulped Yontan, as he noticed the horrified look on Jmerr. “One… two… three!”
The shell of the Orb had a slight crunch, with a rather soft, creamy inner core, gently melting on their tongue. Sweet with a zest of bitterness. Each bite, each movement of their tongue was another moment they savored, dreading the end of this unique flavor. It was an explosion of exoticism, a sensory overload inside their mouth; the richness of the Orb filled their taste buds and souls alike with pure bliss.
Then there was the aroma, dissolving the dusty odor of the room with its arboraceous perfume. It reminded them of Terrestrial woods, now planted across various planets in the Milky Way. Comforting, ancient, nostalgic, and so raw at heart.
Fortunately, this jolly adventure didn’t end after they swallowed it, no, each residue, sticking to the various corners of their mouths, lingered like a fleeting memory soon to disappear forever. Yet it was still there, to grasp with the palm of their hands. But when they tried to, it became vapor, dwindling, yet etched in their brains with such strength it would be impossible to ever forget this moment. Ever.
Their minds were still floating on a cloud of ecstasy when Yontan stared at Lessandre.
“You ate two,” he breathed. “And you,” he turned to Jmerr, “you have no idea what you’ve just missed. It’s… indescribably delectable.” Yontan faced the hologram. “Please, give us one more, for Jmerr. He has to try this… Orb.”
The hologram grinned widely, creasing the old man’s entire face.
“These were the last five. There are no more.”
WHAT?” everyone shouted at once.
“Th– that’s it? No more?” Yontan’s shoulder slumped. “Why didn’t you tell us earlier? We could’ve taken it back to the ship and try to recreate it.”
“It’s impossible without the recipe.”
“A recipe? Give it to us, I don’t care about Ultimate Knowledge anymore,” Lessandre laughed.
“But you had two,” Lezlybe scowled.
“And I want more,” he chuckled. “I’ve never felt better in my life. Even two were far too few!”
“Yes, hand us the recipe so we can share it with the rest of the crew,” pleaded Yontan.
The hologram seemed more and more pleased with itself.
“Even if I gave you the recipe you couldn’t make it when the main ingredient’s missing.”
“What’s the main ingredient?” Ghenna asked.
“Cacao. And these were chocolate truffles, which I made myself utilizing the very last cacao beans to ever exist. I’m sorry. You’ll never eat chocolate ever again.”
Jmerr seemed disappointed upon hearing it, especially after seeing how everyone reacted to it.
“B – but… why?” Yontan asked. “Why offer us a delicious treat only to punch us in the gut right after?”
The hologram smiled. “Think. What is your purpose here?”
“To acquire Ultimate Knowledge… But I fail to understand…”
“If my clock is correct, 3622 years have passed since the last human – which is myself – set wheels in this room. 3622 years of technological advancement, of accumulated mastery of various sciences and understanding of the universe. Yet you believe Ultimate Knowledge is to be found in the past?”
The crewmembers looked at each other, dumbfounded.
“So… it doesn’t exist?” suggested Lezlybe. “We’ve come this far for nothing…”
“Haven’t you just experienced the ultimate delicacy of humankind? Therein lies everything you need to know.”
“It’s not about the knowledge,” began Yontan, “but about the experience we savor?”
“Exactly!” Clapping hands appeared in front of the hologram’s face. “Instead of looking for something that may not be, learn to cherish the transient nature of existence through every experience you encounter. Who knows what happens once you’re dead? Constant hesitation leads to a life of lost opportunities. One of you has learned this lesson the hard way, I’m afraid. However, the tall man over there has greatly benefited from this lesson. Balance in all things!”
“No data is ever lost,” snorted Jmerr scornfully. “Death is simply the temporary loss of information until it’s retrieved.”
“The no-hiding theorem,” smiled the hologram. “Of course. But you wouldn’t be here if you could completely determine the state of the entire universe. Thus, my rhetoric stays valid. For as long as this is beyond our grasp – likely until humanity’s extinction – you ought to cherish every experience and lose your fear of consequences within reason.”
The room went silent, the subtle taste of chocolate still lingering in their mouths like the fading words of an old love letter.
“What do we do now, captain?” Ghenna asked shyly.
“Take your new-found knowledge and share it with others,” the hologram said before Yontan could open his mouth.
“So… there really is nothing else here?”
“Nothing at all.”
The hologram fluttered for a moment.
“Were these really the last pieces of chocolate?”
“Yes.”
“Then why didn’t you eat them yourself?”
“Because sharing is the quintessential attribute of humanity. And I’m glad to have contributed my part, even though it took several millennia.”
“So why use all that energy from the sun?” asked Lezlybe.
“It’s twofold,” said the hologram. “Partially to keep this chocolate in pristine state, as I said before. You’ll understand the second reason soon enough. Let’s say it’s a parting gift, for that man who hasn’t eaten his Orb.”
“I don’t understand.” Yontan was running his fingers through his hair. “You speak of sharing, yet we won’t be able to share this exquisite experience. There’s no chocolate left.”
“Share the wisdom you’ve acquired. Or perhaps you shall find something unique to share with others as I did. Even the stories of your adv–”
The man disappeared for a few seconds.
“–entures – Ah? We’ve been cut. Soon I shall be free, just like your minds. Swiftly return to your ships, and sail t–”
It flickered again and stopped for nearly ten seconds.
“–he vast empty space to… wherever your heart leads you. Farewell. Fare well indeed.”
The hologram zoomed out to show an old man sitting on a wheelchair, waving both hands. It flickered one last time before completely fading out with a hum.
Suddenly, a familiar voice spoke from everyone’s earpiece.
“Captain, is everything all right?” asked one of the crew left on the ship in a panic.
“Why? Did the entrance crumble down?”
“No, Sir. It’s the Conduit. You need to see this for yourself.”
The crew put on their visors and hurried out of the room, through the hallway, out on the freezing surface of Pluto. They gasped upon staring up.
“The Conduit!” Ghenna uttered.
It was oscillating, slowly shrinking until the last flames swooshed back and forth from the relay to the crater, and then, it retracted entirely.
“It’s… it’s gone…” sighed Yontan.
“The parting gift,” Jmerr sobbed. “He knew. He knew someone might not try out the chocolate truffle, and he purposefully shut down the entire system.”
Lessandre turned to Jmerr. “Consider this your incredible experience. We must be the only humans to ever see this happen in real time.”
“But we can reconnect it, unlike the chocolate, can’t we?” said Lizlybe.
Yontan shook his head. “Do you know of the ancient pyramids in the northern African continent?”
“Yeah…” she hesitated. “Vaguely.”
“Do you know why they’ve never been rebuilt?”
Lezlybe shrugged.
“Because there’s nothing to gain in doing so.” He pointed his finger at the vast expanse above him. “We’ve never rebuilt the ancient pyramids – not due to complexity, but due to loss of time and resources involved without any actual benefit. I’m afraid this is the last time anyone has admired this old tech at work.”
Upon their return on the ship, they told the rest of the crew what inside the U.K. ONE.
“So the Ultimate Knowledge doesn’t exist?” one of the crewmember asked.
Yontan took one last glance at the crater as the ship took off.
“I believe it does,” he beamed, looking at the bemused faces of his crew. “Not here.” He gently tapped his temple. “But here.” His hand rested on his chest. “And there.” His arms were wide open, as if trying to embrace his whole crew at once. “Acquired wisdom is the Ultimate Knowledge. And the ability to share experiences with others is our greatest gift.”

2024.05.21 14:46 ThrowRA_BeerBoy My (35/F) husband (37/M) is a functioning alcoholic and doesn’t care about it killing him. How do I get him on the right track?

My husband and I have been together for four years. We have four children between the two of us and they are all special needs. It’s tough. We both work and even though it’s tight, we are doing alright. We could definitely be making more, but for the most part we are doing the best with what we have.
When I met him, he did drink a fair bit. He’s a beer drinker. But over the last year or so, it seems like it has ramped up to an extreme. At one point he was drinking 15 or more beers a night.
A few months back I sat him down and told him that we needed to work together to get a handle on it. At first he laughed it off and told me he didn’t have a problem. When I started sobbing he stopped and really listened. He admitted that he had been drinking between 3-6 THIRTY PACKS a week for a while. So, he promised to work on it.
And for a while he did. He was drinking maybe 2 or 4 beers a night and sometimes none at all.
About two weeks ago we got into a heated argument about something completely unrelated and the drinking came up again. He told me, “I love you and our kids and our life together, but I don’t give a damn about living. I’m just waiting to go, and I’m biding my time.” I obviously got super upset about that and he went on, “it’s not like I have a gun in my mouth or anything. I’m not trying to die, I just don’t care about it either way.”
I called him a selfish monster and told him that by not caring about any of this he was making sure that I will get to be a widow taking care of the needs of four special needs humans alone for the rest of my life. I told him he fails to realize that his mentality wounds the entire family. I was distraught. I asked him why he even brought me into his life, like a captive to bide his time, if he didn’t care about being here long enough for it to matter.
The next day he broke down and told me he was sorry and he knew it was screwed up and that he wants to do whatever he can to fix it. The last two weeks have been REALLY good. Lots of talking, love, and it felt “normal” again.
And this morning, while getting my coffee around I realized he has already drank 15 out of the 30 pack he bought on Friday.
I feel like he is love bombing me (he literally texted me a sweet message as I’ve been writing this) so I’m blinded to his drinking ramping up again. I’m so incredibly sad.
I love this man to such an extreme. He is a hard worker. He’s a damned good dad. He’s funny and he’s kind and he loves hard. He makes me feel safe and I know he loves me and the kids.
But — he doesn’t believe in therapy. He has some pretty legit PTSD from childhood and he learned some insane argument techniques from his first marriage.
I know the thing he needs most is probably a good amount of therapy and rehab. I cannot force him to do either of those things. How do I talk to him in a way that makes him want to do the right thing here?

2024.05.21 14:42 dont_fwithcats Discharged from ER vet, what to expect next?

My male 11 y/o cat was admitted to the hospital on Saturday after showing signs of constipation and not being able to pass his stool. I decided to bring him in because I know these things can progress into an obstruction real quick.
They kept him for 24 hours, gave him an enema and IV fluids for dehydration, he did a few big poops, they X-Ray’d him again before discharge and said he was all good to go. I brought him home Sunday afternoon.
Vets recommendation: more fluids, laxative 3x daily with meals, lots of brushing to prevent any hairballs.
1) since taking him home he’s eating half of what he normally eats and needs lots of encouragement. He’s on an all wet food diet and refuses to eat his food when I add a tbsp of water to it. He’s not drinking water from his fountain either. What can I do to build back up his appetite and get him back to free-feeding without encouragement again?
2) he’s pooped once on Sunday and then that’s it. It’s now Tuesday AM but he’s showing no signs of discomfort. He’s been really happy, purry and floopy since coming home. What is considered normal poop routine for a senior cat?
3) this all started because I went away for a work trip and he went into a state of depression being left with my partner. (He loves my partner and vice versa) but he barely ate, which leads me to believe this caused the dehydration and subsequent constipation. I’m leaving for a month-long trip in July. How can I make this transition easier for him that won’t lead to this happening again?

2024.05.21 14:41 EternalSunshine64 Trying to use credit to buy sofa in new address

I recently moved to a new rented accommodation in the last two weeks. Only partially furnished so my housemate and I decided to get a new sofa on credit. The company we are buying from allows DivideBuy and Klarna.
I was made clear when using DivideBuy that they will not deliver to an address which is different than the billing address and I realised I had not yet updated my address on my bank details so I went back to do this before applying. Unfortunately the application for credit still got rejected, as did the application via Klarna.
I have used very little credit in the past, with my only real line of credit being a credit card which I use only for small purchases and usually pay back in full each month, although due to moving costs I currently have around £300 outstanding, which I plan to pay £100 of at the end of the month (which is well over the minimum).
I was unsure if the change of address or my credit score was the problem, so I tried to use Experian to check my credit score but they have said they cannot verify my ID. I realised this may because I hadnt changed my address on the electoral register, so I have just done this.
How long will it usually take for this to be updated so that I can buy our sofa on credit? It isn't ideal at the minute just using random plastic chairs in the living room :( Also, is there anything else that I may be missing that may be contributing to this problem?
TL;DR How long does it take for the electoral register to update my address so I can buy things on credit again?

2024.05.21 14:41 ChemicalFragrance I tried perfumes from Gravel

A Man's Cologne: An important backstory to this one: Prior to the 50's, men in New York did not wear cologne, only aftershave. This perfume hit the streets of New York in 1957 as an attempt to revolutionize what perfume meant for men, and became popular later on. It's safe to say that this perfume has stuck around for a long time - and that's what makes it (in my opinion) so beautiful. It's incredibly nostalgic, you can't smell this without being reminded of a dear male family member in your childhood. It's perfectly balanced and not at all offensive, you can wear it for any occasion. It isn't unbearably "macho" like most designer male fragrances today, it actually possesses a hint of sweetness because of the benzoin, making it a bit unisex. Aromatic and woody, a bit powdery. I love it and I root for its comeback.
Evolution: I am not exaggerating, at all, when I say that this smells exactly like a bar of soap, and not in a good way. The notes of aldehydes at the top overpower literally every other note in this perfume, EXCEPT the ambergris, which clashes really poorly with the clean vibe the perfumer was originally going for. It adds on a little bit of dirtiness in the dry down, and it's very off putting. I feel like people don't believe me when I say it smells like a dirty Dove bar soap, but please do before you purchase this.
American Dream: I wasn't too excited after seeing the notes, but this ended up being my favorite. I know for a fact Trey MacDougal from SATC wore this, it just makes perfect sense to me given the name and the nature of the fragrance. A rich gentleman's perfume, but could also smell amazing on women. The citrus at the top comes off a bit too sharp at first, probably because of the basil note, but the dry down is very attractive. Fresh, aromatic, and a bit sweet because of the lavender and Tonka, with a musky finish. I don't detect much moss.
Hudson River NY: The dry down is great on this one, but I'm not a big fan of the opening. The dry down is a fresh vanilla that is not edible, but very sensual, warm, and clean, with hints of lavender. The opening however, did not need that geranium note. It adds a bit of an unnecessary bite that is overpowering. As it develops on skin, you do get wafts of the vanilla and the cardamom all throughout, and it is the most unisex fragrance in the Gravel collection, IMO. A perfume meant for intimate moments during early autumn.
Across the Ocean: This one is sugary sweet. The cashmere note at the top comes off strong, so if you're not a big fan of it, stay away from this one. I'm enamored with the combination of Oud and citrus at the top, but I just wish it was stronger, because cashmere seems to take the spotlight. Develops into a musky, woody vanilla dry down with hints of rose here and there. The performance is strong. For some reason, I get hints of berry when I first spray it, but it's not listed in the notes. It's very feminine in my opinion, and if sprayed sparingly, it creates a beautiful cloud. 1-2 sprays is enough, just so it can wafts gently when people walk past you.
46th Street: My least favorite. No matter how much I let it dry down on my skin, I can't shake off the smell of cooking herbs and spices. The wild berries and birch at the top is a very interesting combination that had so much potential, just for it to be overpowered and murdered by the Cypriol Oil. The oud is undetectable, and the ambergris adds a hint of something unpleasant and pungent. I know they attempted to create something Oriental but I just don't see it. Leathery and smokey, but just not that impressive and could do without a few notes. Masculine in an old man way, I think a very small audience can rock this.

2024.05.21 14:37 Oumollie Post-POTS reassurance

I had a pretty severe viral illness in 2011 (age 26) and since then I was constantly fainting. My heart would race horribly in situations it never did before. I stopped going out anywhere I might not find a chair if I feel dizzy. I developed a phobia of fainting while driving on the highway. I couldn’t work out like I normally did without palpitations.
The worst part is I didn’t know for years. I am a waify female but despite that I had previously been as tough, outspoken, outgoing, athletic. Since POTS I was seems as a pathetic, scared, fainter. I was told by my own family and friends I was fainting because I was overly sensitive or wanted attention. The first time I fainted, I still had that original virus on Christmas Day. I had become very quiet while my family was chatting because I felt dizzy. I got up to use the bathroom (feeling very sick to my stomach) and fainted on the way there. I fainted again about a year later while a friend was chatting with a stranger at a bar. My sister and my best friend said I was fainting on purpose in those situations. I fainted when another friend met with her boyfriend at a restaurant. I woke up being accused of being drunk by a waitress but they did call me an ambulance. While my friend didn’t say anything mean, she didn’t come to the ambulance. It wasn’t until 2015 that I had a boyfriend (now my husband) and I fainted in front of him. He took me to the ER, they admitted me and did a tilt table test. I fainted after 12 minutes, and that was after 24 hours of IV fluids. Even then, it was prior to COVID and I was so skeptical of this condition. My friends and family rolled their eyes at this news and I started to as well. I went to therapy for years for anxiety over fainting, bordering on agoraphobia. I was taught to not catastrophize fainting, that it’s not the worst thing that can happen. I pushed myself and even finished pharmacy school and got a great job (with a chair accommodation), got married (with a chair at the alter).
As of 2019 my symptoms were completely gone. I am still afraid of driving or bathing alone, but I am no longer afraid of not having a chair available. I go out with no restriction. I have two young kids and the physical demands actually keep me very fit and healthy. Since long covid became common I’ve been hearing about the condition more and can’t believe I went through all that with no support. I just want to tell people on this forum- I’m so happy you have the understanding and support I never had. I want to reassure you this is likely not forever. It may have just been time for me, but I did change my diet drastically the same year it resolved. In any case, you will find your resolution somehow. I think it’s very important to not fear fainting and stay active to not let hopelessness take over. Make fun of your potential fainting while keeping an eye out for dangerous falls. It’s all about how you cope with this emotionally.

2024.05.21 14:37 IranRPCV Devotional for May 21st from Sally Gabriel

1 Corinthians 3:6 “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.”
Good morning. Today is a very special day. This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24) Each day is a rich and precious gift from God, with new grace and opportunities. How will you make the best use of this day that the Lord has given us?
Paul suggests, in the passage above, that we plant seeds and water them. The seeds he is referring to are the truths of the gospel lived out in our lives. Share your life’s journey and how God has blessed you. Share the love of God that lives in your heart. When you do that, you are both planting seeds and watering them.
You may be sharing with someone who has never heard the message before. As you share you are planting the seed. They may not seem to grasp what you shared. That’s ok. Just share. Trust God that someone else will come along and share also. That’s watering. It may take a few people watering and nurturing the planted seeds before people respond. And of course, remember that they have their agency and not everyone will accept Jesus as their Savior.
Remember also that you and I have not been called to convince anyone of anything. We are only called to share our story; to plant and water seeds. Trust that God can make it grow.
Sid, my husband, was near death in the ICU. The doctors had done all they could do and he just wasn’t responding. They shook their heads. I was told I could take him home if I wanted so he could die at home. However, God had other plans and during the night, he turned around and began showing progress.
The cardiologist came in early in the morning. I walked into the room, knowing that Sid was improving as I had spent the night there. I can still see the smile on that doctor’s face. I said, “He surprised you, didn’t he?” The doctor responded, “He sure did. Thank God.” I told him I did thank God and I thanked him and the others for all they did. He humbly told me not to thank him. He said he knew the treatments and medicine to give but he couldn’t make it work. Only God could do that.
That’s what this verse is talking about. We use our resources, our gifts and talents, sharing our experiences, all to serve God. We do our best to share his love and hope with others. We do so praying, not that they listen to us, but that they see and hear God in the midst of it. Our actions and words must point to the only one who can make it work. Their response should be to him, not us.
Let God use you to be a master gardener planting and watering seeds for him. Be blessed to be a blessing.
🙏Father, thank you for loving me and placing people in my life who loved you enough to plant and water seeds in me. Bless me to always place you as number one as I plant seeds for you. Help me to keep trusting you and to keep gardening in your name. Amen 🙏

2024.05.21 14:33 TheSenegalese Confusion about youtube metadata (date)

I did some osint tutorial https://quiz.sector035.nl/beginners/ (challenge 5) where you have to find out when https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUVFeXSdkO8 was uploaded. In the source code it says:
2020-06-04T12:19:58-07:00
sadly even when formatted correctly this is not the solution, it is:
2020-06-04T19:19:58Z as the site https://mattw.io/youtube-metadata/ tells me.
does the 07:00 just indicate it is a derivation from standard time or what is the idea? it is really confusing to me.
I also tried looking at the code here: https://github.com/mattwright324/youtube-metadata/blob/mastejs/youtube-metadata.js but I have no idea of Javascript and am not programming a lot so I don't really understand all the steps he takes to get the correct time through combining the published time + the converted time. He uses the website https://www.timeanddate.com/ somehow but to me it is all magic since even with the javascript playground I found no easy way to debug the code to better understand the steps, maybe someone can guide me on how to do that so I have an easier time looking that stuff up in the future?
Sry for the long text and thank you in advance for any answers!

2024.05.21 14:29 IzraelMew Little rant...

I have a torn mcl and partially torn acl after a martial arts accident. I'm in a full leg brace locked at 30 deg and may need surgery (although I'll do whatever is needed to avoid it). I'm so sick of people that tell me stories about their sprained ankles and knees, and then tell me about how long it took them to heal and that they feel fine now or that it sometimes bothers them, and they just gave it time indicating that they didn't go to the doctor and they did just fine...blablabla... Great! I'm so freaking happy that you had a sprain that didn't require a full leg brace! Although it's getting better my knee feels like it wants to fold in half just because of its own weight if I hold it out to the side. I can put my weight on it as long as it's in the perfect position, it's not like it's even all that painful most of the time. If you've had a torn mcl I'm sure you'll understand, it seems like people that have experienced an injury that requires more than a compression sleeve get it. I am hobble-bobbling around doing most things without crutches 95% of the time so maybe it gives people a false sense of just how hard it is to walk with this brace on and how unstable my knee feels. Thanks for reading if you got this far. I'm just feeling frustrated and feel like everyone expects me to carry on like nothing happened. If you have tips on recovey I'll take them! Speedy recovery to everyone!

2024.05.21 14:28 confidentbutsleepy How Do You Handle Being 'Tested' in Dating? I Think It's Absolutely WILD!

TL;DR: Matched with a seemingly great guy on Bumble, hit it off well, moved to texting and phone calls, only to have him "test" me on our first disagreement about who should pay on dates. Despite forgiving him, he responded with hateful accusations, leaving me to move on from his manipulative behaviour.
Hey everyone,
I need some advice on a situation that’s been bothering me. Here’s the full story:
I (32) matched with this guy (37) on Bumble recently, and we hit it off immediately. We spent hours texting and eventually, we moved to a phone call that lasted several hours. We got along so well that he mentioned he would have liked to take me out that day, but he already had plans with his friends to watch an F1 race and a football match. I appreciated his honesty and told him it was fine, and we continued talking throughout the day, even while he was with his friends. It was going SPLENDIDLY!
However, out of nowhere, he made a condescending comment about my Instagram, saying it looks like he’d have to sell a kidney to take a girl like me out. I found it extremely offensive and told him that while I’m financially comfortable and can pay for myself, I do have standards when it comes to dating. I expect a man who asks me out on a date to be willing to pay for it. If a man doesn’t pay, I see it as going out as friends, and I wouldn’t consider a second date. He then doubled down, saying he was new in town and unsure where to take me because I seemed to have an extravagant lifestyle.
I clarified that I didn’t expect an extravagant first date and had a favourite bar in mind that’s quite economical due to my regular patron status there. But I wasn't sure if I was interested in moving forward with him because this had gotten too weird and uncomfortable for me.
He then admitted he was TESTING me because he has a lot of money and didn’t want to be used for it - Mentioning his FERRARI, while he was at it, which I had frankly assumed was a rental, I didn't give it a second thought or glance. He then said he was very disappointed in me accused me of being like other women who expect men to pay — He called me a Gold Digger in so many words. I found this extremely manipulative, insulting, offensive and downright disrespectful and told him so and asked him to fuck right off! Just for the record - I am also rather well-off. Not only do I make decent money, but my parents are also financially well-off.
Despite my frustration, he apologised profusely and asked for a second chance, claiming he was wrong to test me and that he genuinely wanted to get to know me better. I told him I appreciated the apology but couldn’t get past the disrespect and the implications of his “test.” I made it clear that his behaviour had made me feel judged and uncomfortable, and I didn’t see how we could move forward.
He kept insisting, saying we could laugh about this misunderstanding later and that he’d make it up to me. I reiterated that I didn’t want to feel scrutinised or judged every time we interacted, and that this incident had soured my perception of him. I told him it was best to part ways and ended the conversation. He asked me to sleep on it, and I did.
The next morning, I sent him a text to formally close things off, but on a good note, saying:
"We definitely had a fun and interesting day, but we both know this isn't going to work out! I truly enjoyed our time together and our roller coaster of a conversation. Most people don't even have dates as fun and intriguing as this! But sadly, this is the end of the road for us. I do truly wish you the very best with everything, and I'm glad we ran into each other. Take care and be well! 💗"
He didn’t respond to that text, but he continued to view my Instagram stories, which I found really passive-aggressive. So, I followed up with:
"Hey, I noticed you didn't respond to my last message. I just wanted to say that I tried to be respectful and honour the conversation we had because I genuinely valued it. It would have meant a lot to hear back from you, even just a simple acknowledgment. Regardless, I wish you all the best."
His response to that was unexpectedly hostile. He accused me of being selfish and only caring about my own feelings. He claimed he had already responded to my earlier texts and accused me of being stubborn and ungrateful for the time he spent talking to me. His tone was rude and accusatory, which only reinforced my decision to end things.
I replied, explaining how his actions had made me feel judged and disrespected. I pointed out that despite enjoying our conversation, his test and subsequent behavior were major red flags. I told him I was disappointed by his hostility and that I was hoping for a more respectful closure.
He left my final message on “seen” and hasn’t responded since. Which is fine. Screw him.
I'm not looking for advice on how to get back with him. I’m just trying to process this and move on. Any tips on how to deal with such a disappointing end to what seemed like a promising connection? Because I hadn't been this super excited to go out in a VERY long time!
Thanks for reading.

2024.05.21 14:26 pohltergiest Catching up on the Tohoku Times

Catching up on the Tohoku Times
Finally finding some time after resting to do my writing. The bike shop experience was a little sweaty in the hot weather, and while we were outside working on our bikes, not only did the wife of the mechanic go get us an iced coffee and an ice cream, she later made us care packages with an energy gel and a bunch of electrolyte tablets. Looking inside, it would seem this shop has been the home of a pro-level team for a long time, so I imagine they have a lot of these things on hand, but it was still very nice.
My wheel repair went well, the bumps and wobbles straightening out with the spoke repair. Bryce had them look at his front wheel, which had a different problem. He took a look at it, and after some consideration he said it was a "maintenance challenge" and proceeded to pull out a lot of wrenches. Bryce gleaned that the hub of the wheel needed tightening, and he did not have the correct wrenches to deal with this decidedly north american model. But he did have ones that were close enough and with some effort he managed to make it better to ride. After all was said and done we asked how much for the repairs and he tells us that he's a volunteer for the day, that this is his son's shop and he's just hanging out for the day because it's a holiday! We were flabbergasted but again he would not take any payment. We talked with him a bunch and he told us that he's in his 70's and attributes his good health to his biking, which he proudly states he's been doing for over 60 years now. We said he was an inspiration and said our goodbyes.
We were lucky to get the repairs done so quick, as it gave us just enough time to hit up the aquarium. We needed to ride just 12km to get there, and a nice tunnel took us through a mountain range instead of us having to go over it. I was tired, the stress of the string of repairs really getting to me. But we arrived with an hour and a half til closing and got to see the aquarium which was a big white building tucked up against sea cliffs on the sea of Japan. I felt instantly more at ease, the temperature feeling more moderate by the water, which was calm as the day went on.
The aquarium was lovely, with an obvious focus on jellyfish. I don't usually like aquariums or zoos due to what appears to be inadequate facilities for the inhabitants, but jellyfish in a tank? I don't think jellyfish care, or have the ability to care. This is like having a series of terrariums in my mind, jellyfish are one step above insects in my mind. And jellies they had, loads and loads of jellies, some on the larger side and lots of teeny tiny ones that almost can't be seen at all without magnification. They really do look like little automatons, just wiggling around. The tanks were all very tastefully lit, highlighting UV reactive cells, long streaming tendrils (that I'm sure have a proper name), and rainbow shimmering reflective cells that look deceptively like teeny tiny LEDs on little ridges. The prime attraction was the dream theatre, a dark room with a 5m tall tank circulating with hundreds or thousands of jellies and lit with a dreamy blue and purple light. We saw posters of famous artists performing in front of the jellyfish tank, the theatre being aptly named.
We missed out on the jellyfish ramen noodles, it being a bit too late in the day, but we did get to enjoy the late day views from on top of the aquarium. Why did we ever leave the ocean? Flat roads, sunsets unmarred by dumb terrain, beaches. It's the best. I love beaches. Looking at the map, we'd have to cover 120km to get to Akita to take the ferry to hokkaido, so we decided to cover some ground while we still had light so as to not overload the next day should something happen. On we went. We zoomed past pastel-lit beaches, seeing folks sitting in pairs, waiting for the sunset. We've seen people stop right on highways if they have a good view of the sunset. We had no such time to enjoy it today.
An hour or so later, we covered 20km to Sakata. Bryce wanted fried chicken for dinner, so we went to a takeout place and got way too much chicken for the two of us to eat. It can be hard to tell what you're getting, as one piece of karaage can be anything from a morsel to a meal, in this case we had more of a meal per piece along with rice and cabbage. We got some drinks from a vending machine and ate the food by a river, watching the water go by as the light faded. For once, we couldn't finish all the food, which was a shock. I always finish the food. Good job, random chicken place, you win this round.
I found a big empty looking beach in the middle of nowhere on the map about 10km north of our position, so we prepared to set out for a night ride. Rain was in the forecast for the next morning, which meant we needed a private place that we wouldn't be bothered for an extended time during daylight hours. And we'd need to reduce our kilometers for the next day as we'd probably have to bike some of it in the rain, which sucks. As we were biking through the city, we happened upon a summer festival, people filling the streets. The usual assortment of festival treats didn't steal our attention, but I stopped for a moment to examine a line of white painted ladies in front of a stage that were talking turns talking about something or another. If only we had the time to watch the performance!
We instead used our valuable time biking to a convenience store to one again get water, food, and some canned coffee for the next morning. Always an exciting time. We left the city, things now fully dark. The highway was not the best, lots of cracks and parts filled in with patches, and my focus wasn't the best. Obstructions become much harder to see in the light of a headlight, even harder to see when you have to use the dimmest setting as the headlamp always seems to be close to dying. My body bitched that it was the wrong time of day to be biking, I should already be setting up camp and kicking back, not pressing for an extra 10km.
We did eventually make it to the beach intact, if a bit worn out, rolling down a sandy road until we had to push our bikes over dune-encrusted paths. Nobody here except a handful of night fishers, but they only care about fish. We pushed our bikes along the beach until we found a lonely pair of shelters for picnics and began setting up there. It seemed like a good spot, and we could tie up the tarp for extra rain protection. Giant wind fences on the beach would help with any gusts coming off the sea, but we weren't expecting a lot of wind anyways. Feeling like I'd have extra time in the morning, I got to sleep instead, feeling more tired than ever.
I slept very long, clearly the need for sleep piling up on me. We got to bed a little later than I wanted, but it was indeed raining when I woke in the morning, so I went back to sleep and luckily got a few more hours. We discovered in the morning light that we were not the only ones to think highly of the shelters, with little ants crawling all over the outside of the tent. Not a big deal, but a little unnerving considering we haven't always been perfect about getting the zippers all the way closed. We had some breakfast in bed (which inevitably led to a spilled coffee) and read for a little bit, but debates about getting going started pretty quickly. The rain didn't look like it was going to let up, which meant we were going to have to get going or risk riding at night again.
It was late in the morning when we were ready to go, rain gear donned and our spirits as high as they would be all day. We had 95km to ride, half a day to do it, and we were already soaked. On we went. Rice planting is in full swing now, everywhere we go there's farmers hurredly planting thousands of tiny sprouts in prepared fields. Early on there was a bit of a roadside attraction in the form of a curiously coloured pond, which we dutifully checked out. The pond was indeed a brilliant blue green colour and very clear, like the water of some onsens we've seen. Reading a sign, the pond was the source of the little rivers nearby and the water was extremely cold which kept it from fouling.
As we rode, the mist rising off the hills looked like smoke. We hoped the rain would turn to just mist soon. Wiping my face for the hundredth time, we slowly pedaled on. Rain pants tug on my skin, making knee pain feel more prominent. We bike slower too, I think the water on the road is just harder to bike on. Feels like slow motion compared to fair weather riding. After 30km, I needed to stop and get some real food in me, I found a mandarin restaurant serving spicy ramen, which sounded perfect for a cold, stiff day like this. We left our dripping rain gear outside where it might get slightly dryer simply by gravity, and went in, still sorta dripping anyways.
Inside, the restaurant was filled to the brim with knickknacks and collectables and was bright and cheery despite the weather outside. I found a place to plug in my headlamp and we both ordered big bowls of spicy soup and colas for the sugar and caffeine boost we'd need to keep going. The soup was flavorful and delicious, with a ground pork that was sweet instead of savoury. Last time I made sweet pork it was kinda gross so it was neat to have a sweet pork that wasn't bad. I ate my whole bowl, needing all the calories I could get, and settled down a bit to check the radar for the area.
As can be expected for the coast, the weather was temperamental. It was good we got going, as the section behind us was being hammered, while we could expect a bit of a reprieve from the rain as we moved forward. That was about as good as we could hope for and with the clock striking 2 (and playing a song) in the restaurant, we departed.
The sky brightening a bit from a dreary grey to a less dreary grey, our moods lifted for a while while our jackets dried off in the breeze. The sights were beautiful, in a desolate sort of way. Something about staring off into seemingly infinite ocean is unsettling to me. The evergreens on rocky spits in the ocean reminded us of the west coast trail, a few unbothered sections of coast here and there revealing what this land is supposed to look like under all the concrete pylons and coast management techniques Japan loves.
After an hour, I began having some real issues. My heart rate had spiked, my vision was a little odd, and I was starting to not feel well. Not good. I drank a bunch of water, which helped, but eventually my body decided the spicy ramen was too oily and spicy for my guts and I went to destroy a convenience store. I felt better after, but I really should know better by now. There's so much oil in the cooking here though, it's hard to avoid sometimes.
We kept riding, now with no rain gear and keeping up a respectable pace. We went on a desolate road, giant windmills standing guard on the coast overlooking fields of windburnt trees all bent away from the water. Looks like this coast gets absolutely hammered by the wind, maybe I shouldn't complain too much about the rain if it's not windy as well. Things were looking up, our pace put us on schedule to arrive at 6, well before dark which put us in better spirits. Better spirits until Bryce's tire blew out.
Pulling apart the tire layers, incredulous that the so-called "flatless" tires would fail us now, we found a shard of black glass stabbed straight through the thickest part of the tire and a centimeter into the tube section. Well there's no bike tire on earth that can survive that, that one's just bad luck. We felt a little better about that as we set about replacing it. At least with the new rim Bryce had it was much less of a fight to get the tire on and off to replace the tube. Getting the bead to set was a pain, Bryce cycled the tube pressure three times and we even soaped the edge to get it to budge. It seemed good enough to me, but the rim of the tire definitely seemed a little inconsistent. The rain starting again, we debated what we should do, I argued that if he was careful and avoided bumps the bead might set itself and we didn't have any other techniques we could try. He wasn't able to pull the tire over any more and my hands were too weak to be of much help. We were wet and cold by this point, so Bryce agreed with this and we remounted and got moving. We could always take the train if we had to, but that wasn't an option we wanted to do just yet.
I was in the rear and I could immediately see and hear something was wrong with Bryce's bike, even though I was focused on the tire bead to see if it was setting properly. It looked like his front and back tires were tracking different paths and one or both seemed to be leaning? I know the front tire had a hub issue so I thought maybe they're just a bit off but after a while I called a halt as it looked just too messed up not to try reseating the axle. While we were redoing the rear axle, we discovered that a bolt holding the rear pannier rack was close to coming out altogether, the source of the terrible rattling I've been hearing for weeks now! That was a relief to fix, and the wheel seemed to be sitting better. Now we were quite a bit later, projections looking more like 7 o'clock and getting dark by the time we got to the city.
The sky was getting lighter, but it was the sun starting to sink below the cloud layer, signaling the end of the day and the last of our riding light. I was so tired by this point, bone tired. The rain makes every kilometer feel like two, I was sneezing again, feeling sad. Lots of harsh feelings were welling up, life starting to roar back into focus as all the things I pushed away for the past year demanded answers right now. I tried my best to file away the petitions as I could, but mostly I just tried to keep my head up as my mood sunk lower with the sun. My sinuses decided they'd had enough and shut down, making my head feel like it was a size too big. In the last light of the day we got to Akita, the end of our Tohoku adventure. The kindness of the people we met saved us from finding the whole region cursed.
I demanded burgers and fries to lift my soggy mood, nothing in my tool box keeping me happy. Luckily there was a good looking place near our hotel to try and it was a countertop kinda place. We went in to find a fully charming establishment full of locals and a pair of chefs working the counter. I was feeling just awful but Bryce had a good time interacting with people. Everyone was very curious about the two colourful and very wet foreigners who had wandered in after parking very large and heavy bikes. I joined in on the answers, having the better language skills whenever Bryce couldn't parse what was being asked, but I was more focused on the pile of fries and the chili burger I ordered. People were flabbergasted that we came all the way from the southern end of the country, the chefs assuming we must have come from Tokyo instead. Some of the other patrons started rattling off Canadians they knew, with Justin Bieber ("Justinoo Beeberu!") and Celine Dion topping the list. I ordered a BLT sandwich as I was still starving even after a whole meal. The chef brought over a bottle of nice sake to have as a toast to the brave travellers, which I had to refuse as I would like to recover from this cold sometime this century. There's so much booze that it's hard not to here.
To alleviate the embarrassment of having to refuse the booze, he offered me a ginger ale instead, which I graciously accepted. The other chef laughed as they pulled out a bottle "Canada Dry" she said, to the laughter of the bar. Taste of home in a strange place. I polished off my BLT (and considered a second) and while I'm sure Bryce could have spent all evening taking free shots of excellent sake with the bartender, we had to be up early, so we said our goodbyes and waved as we wheeled our bikes into the dark city. I left in a good mood, but tired as hell. Bryce was positivity beaming from the fun interactions, and the four drinks he had. The hotel was nearby, so it wasn't too hard. A parking attendant ushered us to a spot near the guardhouse, and we locked up there. He asked us when we were thinking of getting the bikes the next day, and when we said 430 in the morning he was a little taken aback. He understood that the ferry was early but that was too early for him.
The hotel room was nice enough, but all I wanted was a bath and sleep. There were bath salts at the front desk and we took turns soaking in the tub. I wasted no time, doing my thing, arranging my clothes for the morning, setting an alarm and going to sleep. 415 would be just around the corner.

2024.05.21 14:26 ThrowRAcircumstance Boyfriend '23M' and I '22F' are on the verge of a break-up because of harassment and a buttload of other stuff. He is willing to work it out but I am falling out of love. How do I stop losing feelings for him because of the circumstances?

Obligatory on mobile so awkward formatting and throwaway because he knows my reddit account. Long story.
I come to ask the Reddit crowd to be kind with me as I legitimately have no idea what to do. My boyfriend and I have been dating for 7 months now and are on the verge of a break-up because of several reasons.
My boyfriend is adamant he does not hold romantic feelings for her anymore and that he isn't staying because I'm the safer option (in the sense that I am avoidant and have admittedly blindsided my past situationships/ partners and could very well do the same with him). He tells me he's not settling for me and that he genuinely wants to make our relationship work because he knows he only has one shot with me and that he feels genuine for me. It is easier for the both of us to leave the relationship because both are avoidant people, but he is trying to go against his trauma and avoidant tendencies to remain with me. He just fails sometimes (checking her tiktok, etc.)
Currently, we are very open with one another and have good communication (regular relationship checks, we never get into screaming matches). He has never called me names, he takes responsibility for his actions and has accepted blame for every single event that has happened (the lying, the tiktok, ex's harassment) and has not done those since we discussed each issue. Another is that he has been improving himself and his tendencies that hurt me emotionally as well (fixing problems on his own and only informing me they exist well after the fact, not sharing emotions, etc.). I have trouble vouching for this because we had just become friends later in the previous year, but from what I can logically deduce it is true.
THE PROBLEM, finally. I am losing feelings for him because I feel underappreciated, undervalued, and I genuinely feel like I was his second option. Due to the amalgamation of the things we have faced together, I am misinterpreting the pain from those into distrust for him.
To his credit, and if you remove the harassment problem, he has been a good boyfriend to me. We used to regularly go out on dates (used to because both of us are swamped with work, so now he just invites me to future plans after we finish said work), he cooks me food and pays for my meals whenever I allow it (gifts and gestures like this make me feel like I'm a callgirl so we avoid it), bringing me to events I would enjoy (movie showings, concerts, recreational parks) for free (he pays), is physically affectionate, and accompanies me in my commute everyday to and from work regardless if we have fought each other that day, would physically go to me just to talk, spends hours past his curfew if our serious conversations have not finished, etc.
I genuinely still want to work on my trust for him, I want to gain it back and move past our problems. I want to be able to support him because I do know I would also be fucked up if I came from said experience. I don't want to leave him alone because I empathize with what he has gone through and the effects they have on him, but I don't know how to help him. More importantly, I don't know how to process my own feelings about the matter.
This is an incredibly long post and I realize the easier way would be to leave. But I want to give our relationship a fighting chance before we break up. It's not the smart choice, it's not the beneficial choice either. But it's a choice I'm still considering.
TLDR: Because of harassment and other problems, I feel unloved and underappreciated by my boyfriend and am falling out of love. How do I stop losing feelings for him because of circumstances?

2024.05.21 14:23 EmploymentMajestic64 So discouraged

I switched my major back to graphic design after being in psychology for over a year. I had some of the hardest psychology classes and still got A’s and B’s. My first graphic design class back I got an A. I struggled but I managed. Forgot how to use all the programs and had to re-teach myself on top of learning the class.
I’m not taking a design thinking class and each week my grades get worse and worse. Never in all my classes have I received a D on a discussion post. The worse part is I truly felt like I did my absolute best and I answered all the questions. Apparently I didn’t answer them thoroughly enough. Even in my responses I made sure to give the examples they were asking. The responses were a paragraph long.
I feel like I’m going to fail this class 100% It’s so weird because I feel like I understand the material and I’m not struggling too hard with it but then get grades like this. I would understand more if I didn’t understand what I was doing but I feel as though I do.
Talking to the teacher and advisor has lead no where and I’m almost wondering if I’m being graded worse now because I did reach out.
I only have ten classes left to graduate. I cannot move forward without passing this class.

2024.05.21 14:20 Street_Cantaloupe335 Living in regrets/anxiety from past love/friends relationship. 35F 35M. How to move on in life?

Hello I am a 35 years woman who have had quite a lot of experiences so far. I was someone( around my 20s) who used to be quite straightforward blunt and did things without giving much thoughts/impulsive. At that time i didnot want to live my life without regrets in later stage of my life ( ironically i am now)
1st relationship -20years I broke up with a guy because i started to have feelings for another guy who ended up being quite toxic for me. So instead at that time of pausing and reflecting on this whether i am right or wrong, i decided to be honest with people around me and i broke up with the person and went with the toxic person.
2nd relationship 25 years Later we broke up with that toxic person ( he cheated and hurt me a lot) and was with another person at the age of 25. We dated three years until i moved to another country again from my impulsive nature. We really tried long distance but later realised that he didnot want to come join me and vice versa. I believe we loved each other but neither of us wanted to do the country shift ( him immigrating and me going back to my country). Other than that he was a perfect guy who was willing to give me everything if i moved back and we get married. Those 3 years were hard and i decided to end things as we were kind of dragging each other into you come back - no you come join me etc. Soon after I met my now husband.
3rd relationship- wedding 31 years He is a rather good guy and I do love him. I am also someone who tries to be more paused now especially with people’s feelings. I often find myself overthinking and having regrets like what if i had went back home ( this happens whenever my husband does something wrong- as everyone- he has his flaws ). I also overthinks at how i did mistakes when i was young and made wrong choices and i kind of feel unclean/bad person. We are both together because we have our fair share of baggage but it seems i can no longer carry mine and thus his baggage sometimes also burdens me.
On top of my relationships i also had a lot of friends in my 20s. I currently have only 3-4 good friends. I feel that I have hurt some of my friends along the way thats why the friendship faded away ( e.g not telling them i moved to another country) but also due to toxic friendship ( e.g unfriending/blocking a friend who i heard spoke behind my back , was rude to me, flirting with me- there was a boy who was flirting with me despite having his girlfriend. At the end of the day they got married and i was the one who was put in a bad light. ( i was single at that time and he was simply double timing us so i told his girlfriend the truth when i came to know that this guy is not a good person but ended up being the bad person so i blocked everyone who was connected to this situation not to think of it anymore - i was more in a state of okay i will close the doors to people who are unkind to me mainly as a defense mechanism i would say)
I am completely lost in my mind right now and want to know if i am having a mid life crisis or i am simply overthinking? I am having lots of flashbacks of my past love/friends relationships ( regrets anxiety bad good less friends did i do right/wrong) which i know is not healthy for myself. How should i move on? Also the fact that i am away from my parents/ family ( another country) is not helping me.
Sorry for the long message but i needed to take all of it out of my head. :(

2024.05.21 14:20 vibgyorRa3 My Boyfriend(18M) is Ignoring Me(18F).what can i do?

We have been together for about More than 10 months Now. He was Not only ny best friend but also the only freind I had Here (Not to mention The environment I am In now Is toxic and he had helped me A lot during this time) . Somehow I decided to take a risk and confessed to him To which Miraculously He Reciprocated. Things Seemed Pretty good at First All Roses I don't know How it all came to this Now. As Friends We really Clicked But since we've been in a relationship Things Have been pretty much rough. We have a Lot of communication issue He doesn't really show much or expresses .
Fast forward, We Just had our results Out In which He Scored Pretty decent But Was Upset As He had Targeted Higher and Has Been working Hard for it.On the day of results I Texted him about it He replied To that at night Then I asked him Abhout His results To which he Asked me to tell first i told him My score(Which is A Pretty decent scored i had expected Even worse so i was satisfied) Then He didn't replied and just said Bye i then asked him again he just said Not so good And that he wouldn't come online much n didn't reply after that (Not to mention He Is Sometimes Overambitious (if it's the correct word),And His parents Are Very fixated on His marks) I tried to comfort him told he's not a failure no matter I'm proud of him he has so many other good qualitues ...gave a pretty long explanation to which he just reacted with a emoji. I Told him that I'm always there flr him If anything and He shouldn't isolate Himself He can always reach out to me. Then after a Day He replied that i was right And we talked normally Then again from the other day onwards He didn't Replied again I waited for His reply For about 3 days no response (I thought maybe He needed Some space So I waited but then I got worried About him and Texted him Again A "hii" and asked If he's okay To which he just Replied with a heyy. After a while Then I asked him "How are You" "are u ok" To which he replied after a Day At Night And Told me About smthng Off topic and Not answering what I asked then Just told sorry for past 3-4 days But didn't Told why he was being like that .I saw His msg at evening and then again asked him " Is everything ok what had happened " To which It's been More than a day and he hasn't replied
Not to forget We Had a Fixed time of us to talk at night everyday. I wait for him everyday to reply but he's Not replying and I Am Moving out to different city this week Which He Knows I had told him About Me moving out pretty soon But since we haven't been talking in a while He doesn't know I'll move out this week I just wanted to meet him for last time idk but he's being like this ,feels like he doesn't care wh. I hav no clue What is Going to happen To Us or what should I do rn If he keeps Ghosting me like this .Should I Texxt him telling I'm moving out or not (cause idk wheter he even cares) but this all thing Is affecting Me. It's going to be about a week That he's ghosting me Idk What's he gonna do after high school whether he is going to move out too r stay In same city I have no clue about him . I miss Him but What should be the right thing for me to do? Should I just give up?(Honestly I can't I needed a Clear Cut End or else I would just stay Hanging at the cliff Never knowing what had happened why he's ghosting me) I have Exams and I am not able to Focus on anything or concentrate This has even taken a toll on my health. And I can't even call Him Cause His family is Strict we only talk On text.
P.S- just about a Month Before We weren't Doing Much Good So my friends Without my knowledge Catfished him With a fake account of another girl And Flirted with Him and Yess He Happily flirted Back all this was Going on And I had No clue Until They came and told me about this I was Really Hurted I Read The chats He even Claimed To be single I Really trusted Him And This really hurted Me I told my friends To stop The chat They clearly told me To leave him. But I Still I wanted to confront Him and Ask him why he even Did This He could have just Broken up with me instead of Going on to cheat on my back Cause This Hurts even more And To which he Told that He didn't Knew About all this and That It was His friend Who Talked Through his account (and yes He had told me about this earlier that his friends do have his account) (The Texting style matched which is Drastically similar to my boyfriends and He even shared a Same Puppy picture which I had sent him once) i couldn't Trust him again wholly Like before But he started crying N Told me this wasn't him and to just Give him another chance and That Everything now Will seem against him but just give him some time and he will never do anything to hurt me like this again .. I had made up my mind on breaking up with him But At that moment I gave in to him and Gave him another chance And Now This has come to this
It's ruining up my mental health Now .it's just one thing There are so many other things.. Sometimes I just think The person I knew before once My best friend I don't recognize him now .. Ok I have written too much maybe I just needed To Let it out somewhere And If you've reached upto here then I really thank you for reading My Rant upto here thank you a lot and I really appreciate Your Patience and please Do share ur opinion although I don't expect anyone reaching upto here but yeah. Thank you❤

2024.05.21 14:19 retronaco Overactive bladder

On may 9th I started to have to go to the washroom more frequently I noticed that I had to go roughly every hour… I started feeling back pain on my right side more of a pressure pain. I initially thought I may be getting a kidney stone and boy was I wrong! I’m going to tell you guys my experience and how crazy this has been… here’s a little context. I am currently going through a divorce (which was my own doing), financially I am tight as I have to uphold two mortgages one being my own and other being portion of a rental property I own. However the rental property is not a positive cash flow atm due to high interest rates. A lot has happened in May. I had to buy a new dryer as my drying machine just went, also a new microwave (over stove). I work in sales and with high interest everyone is so tight with money and people aren’t spending nearly as much as they were a year ago. I could go on about more but no need. So may 9th it began, all day that day I had to constantly go to washroom almost every hour, I smoked some weed and went to bed. That night I ended up wetting myself a little overnight (this was a first) I panicked and snapped out of it however the next few days I would continue to have back pain and constantly peeing, unfortunately I started doing some google reading on this and I had pre determined myself that maybe I had a kidney stone and just needed to drink more fluids and try to get better. It went on until Wednesday may 15th at this stage my lower back pain had increased and I started noticing pain in my abdomen area also. I went to doctors and did some sampling. They found microscopic blood in my urine but weren’t sure what it could be and sent it in for further testing on top of that in Canada the long weekend was coming which typically means you won’t get lab results until mid next week (this week). Now this continued as I was freaking out about blood in my urine and more googling which made things worse… Friday May 17th comes around. At this stage I was extremely worried and was going to washroom every 30 mins until night time. Night time was horrible (I don’t wish this on my worst enemy) at night time while trying to go to sleep I started to go to washroom every 5-10mins and shortly after around 1AM Saturday I couldn’t get off toilet the back pain had increased and abdomen pain had increased. It left like my bladder was just squeezing everything out! I panicked further! I spiralled and broke down, I went to the hospital. Once I got to hospital and told them my symptoms they believed I was passing a kidney stone but they wanted to confirm and do a CT scan, blood work, and a urine sample. Few hours later my results were in… everything was fine. The doctor said he was not sure exactly what was happening but thinks I have something called “interstitial cystitis” however said I should speak to my family doctor and see a urologist. This is where I started doing more research as I couldn’t take going to washroom so much… I came across urinary frequency and one of the causes was anxiety and stress… I’ve always told my self that I have never had anxiety and never have experienced it. On google I came across a Reddit and it was someone who has experienced similar things and it turned out to be just anxiety. Currently as I am typing this I am improving quite a bit I no longer have to go every 5-10 mins. I go roughly every 2 hours. I am still in recovery as I do have moments where I need to go within 20 mins of just going to the washroom. However I have not taken any medicine I have slowly learned to accept things and get better and this has helped a lot with my anxiety. I have learned that somethings I cannot control but everything will be ok. I started to keep busy (deep clean the house, do all laundry, cooking, lawn work) and that really helped grounding me. Also one thing that helped me is start to relieving some weight. I’ve had weight on my shoulders about leaving my wife so I apologized to her last night saying that I am sorry for making her feel like her world is getting destroyed as we have a child which we will have to share custody. I also am writing this to get better. Please know guys if you are going through this it will all be ok! You have to overcome what is bothering you and accept it. The mind is very powerful, we can make ourselves sick even when we aren’t. I’m sure this isn’t my last time with this but I hope my experience helps you! And know you will be ok.

2024.05.21 14:17 Professional_Pie4454 Can I please ask for advice on whether I should cut off contact with my father and his wife?

I've been asking myself this question, but I cant seem to justify it in my brain. Its like everything becomes fuzzy and unclear and my brain doesn't want to make sense of anything. I'm 26 and my stepmother has gaslighted me so many times. My father is an extremely weak individual who has never stood up for me or protected me. He is selfish. I think he cares about me a little bit but his own comfort and wants come first 100%. He actually disgusted me by how selfish he is. Now it's like they want to sweep everything under the rug and act like they're great parents and never made any mistakes. They did so many things to hurt me and basically threw me away then acted like nothing happened. My mom died when I was 16, mom had anger issues and a lot of undealt with trauma, she was somewhat abusive, dad never protected me. Stepmother came into the picture when I was 18. She's said things to purposely upset me and talked to my family badmouthing me. Whenever I've had to address previous issues, my stepmother will storm out and say she's not going to have this discussion with me. They say I am holding onto the past and holding bad feelings in my heart but how can I move on when they have hurt me so much and no one has ever talked about it or apologized? It's like they're both trying to be nice since I don't live there anymore but I can't be a doormat for everything that has happened and when they hurt me I got angry then I'm painted as the antagonist. My sister heavily complicates things. Shes 17 and currently living with them. I love her dearly but I'm afraid she takes after our father. She cares but not too deeply to sacrifice her own comfort. I was talking to her about the stepmother and she refused to say anything. I asked her why she's not agreeing when she knows its true, she said it doesn't benefit her to pick a side. She says that when she knows how the stepmother has treated us, she has threatened my sister saying she will kick me out (while I was living with them) if my sister misbehaves. Thats so manipulative. Sorry for this long post and grammar errors.
Edit: I have arthritis and other autoimmune issues that my parents never had. I'm 26 and I think this is due to the stress from the relationship.

2024.05.21 14:14 Radiant-Bear4172 Controlled Burn [7]

Chapter 7 is here, hope you enjoy
huge thanks to Objective-Farm-2560 for helping with spelling and proof reading and wording
[First]-[Previous]-[Next]
Memory Transcription Subject: Vaill, Venlil Rescue
Date [standardized human time]: November 30, 2136
Annek still refused to leave my side, she cared so much for Andrew and I… I had been going through the internet and found test results from the government, declaring that humans did, in fact, feel empathy… which explained a lot… but.. It.. they… shouldn’t have it at all…
I… Don’t trust it.. But… But it’s so kind… everything I've ever been taught… everything I've ever known tells me I should fear it… But he it's so kind.. It has to be a lie … It has to be…
I had to teach myself to survive after my father died.. I had only the guild.. They picked me up when I had nothing they saved me.. And here stood a predator that spat in the face of everything I’ve been taught.. All those people.. The people that raised me can’t be wrong… but the government test results... They have nothing to gain from faking this…
It has to be some kind of predatory trickery. But Andrew… it comforted me even after I slapped down Its paw of friendship at every turn…
Andrew had left once again, giving me more room to talk to Annek in private, which I intended to take full advantage of.
Even if it could feel empathy, it was still a predator. I need to see what they have done to my planet. I need to talk to another Exterminator.
“A-Annek?”
Her focus turned to me. “Yes Vaill?”
“I-is there any chance I could go outside… I w-wanna feel the sun of my fur again” I asked sheepishly.“Vaill, I’ve told you that we don’t want you going outside, whether you know the truth about ‘Gaians’ or not,” she replied sternly yet sympathetically.
“Could you p-please ask again...?” I knew they would say no, so I would use this as a chance to escape.
I was never good at speeches or running offices, but I was good at thinking on my paws. It wasn’t through mind numbing paperwork that I became a prestige Exterminator.
“I don’t want to leave your side but fine,” She sighed. “Just wait here. I’ll be a few {minutes}”
I flicked my ears in appreciation before she stood up and walked out. This was my chance! I could gauge the predators myself without someone to guide my opinion.
I waited a few moments before getting up and shuffled to the door and peeked out to my left was a long corridor that had other rooms and to my right was… Annek!?
She was leaning on the wall, a look of disappointment on her face.
“Vaill, you haven’t changed one bit, have you? she sighed. “Still as stubborn as ever.”
“W-what? How di-”
“Vaill we have known each other for a very long time, I know how you think. But please just stay inside for a few more paws, you need rest,” she insisted.
She walked over to me and softly guided me back to the bed in my room, rubbing my back with her tail.
Her presence was soothing, so I allowed myself to be guided back, leaning into her and hugging her. I was eternally grateful that she had lived. I felt her arms and tail wrap around me. This was good, calming, even. It allowed me to clear my thoughts.
“Everything will be ok, Vaill.” she quietly whispered into my ear.
“A-Annek? Why are you so sure the humans aren’t p-playing us for fools? I ask because I actually want to know what makes you so sure.” I was sincere when I asked. The actions that the human had done didn’t compute with my training or anything I had been taught.
“Well Vaill, if you aren’t going to brush it off as predatory trickery I’d be happy to tell you,” she replied, with some annoyance in her tone.
“I-I won’t… I-I’m ready to listen.”
I hope I was…
“Well, when we first met on the station, he never forced me to do anything he always waited for me. When the station was attacked the humans did everything they could, sacrificing themselves to protect us,” she spoke somberly as her ear lowered in sadness.
I brushed my tail along her back to comfort her.
“It’s not something you can only hear and believe, I know that… but if you give him a chance Vaill, I know you’ll see the good in him, as I did.”
Maybe I had been too harsh on him… but everything I was taught… I can't just let go of it…
I looked up at Annek and saw that she looked to be on the verge of tears.
She took a deep breath. “After I lost you… I felt.. empty… you were always there for me when I needed you, always there to pick me up when I fell down.” Her arms had moved themselves around me wrapping me in a gentle embrace.
“After you were gone, I had nothing. I was just floating around, stewing in despair. But then Andrew came into my life. He helped me back onto my paws and helped me stabilize my life again.” She sounded so genuine in her appreciation for the human.
Andrew had looked after my best friend while I couldn't… If he was an example of the rest of the humans, maybe they could be trusted… just maybe. But what I knew was that Annek needed both of us… as much as I wanted to… I couldn't push him away without hurting Annek.
“Vaill… I never stopped hoping that you would magically come back… I cried for claws after I was told you were missing,” she practically sobbed.
I had my demons. But in this moment I could comfort her, I moved my tail to gently rub her back while I continued our embrace.
I could see a figure at the door. As Andrew walked in, I felt my instincts start to flare up, but I pushed them down and flicked my ears in greeting.
He was there for Annek… When I wasn’t.. If what she said is true…
…What have I done…?

2024.05.21 14:13 AdhesivenessTrue1971 My dog sneezed out a worm... 🥴

Yes you read that correctly.. my 17 year old, male, not neutered, chiuahaha with 1 testicle named Nikko just Sneezed out a worm.. To make matters worse got sneezed onto my bare leg..
I need to know what kind of worm this nasty little nose invader was..
It was about 1inch long, pure white, very round, no obvious head shape or color change. It Was NOT a tapeworm for sure. It wasn't segmented, it wasn't flat and it was pretty short but looked like it was a whole worm. It had a bit of weight to it because I did feel it hit my leg 😭 🤮 Pups Symptoms= excessive water drinking, sneezing, bloated belly but he's been bloated for years, no obvious worms exiting the anus or in his feces, slightly constipated, Increase in seizures but im unsure if worm related because he is incredibly old especially for a chiuahaha. He's snoring a little bit louder than usual and has been doing that weird breathing thing that they get going on when their windpipe collapses, more frequently?
Anyways I freaked out and forgot to take a photo before I killed the invader.
What worm might this be...
Is it Contagious to other pets or humans? If so how bad
I am going to get him worm meds today but I need to know exactly what kind of worm im treating and can't afford the vet. Tests being a single mom of two currently in a 2 year long diploma program🤦🏼‍♀️
Maybe a lung worm? Idk.. I googled for hours and couldn't find anything like it...
Thanks in advance for any help!!
