2024.05.19 22:47 HgMt_ How I fixed my hatred toward calorie counting

Counting calories was never something that I was able to implement in my everyday life, as I always forgot to track something that I would have eaten that day, or I didn’t have the patience or the time to register those meals.
I ended up just focusing on the amount of protein that I needed to eat, and completely ignored all the rest. It isn’t a surprise that these didn’t get me the results that I wanted.
However, one day a friend told me about Ludis, and that it would fix all my hatred toward calorie counting, as it was able to track all the calories of my meal with a simple photo.
At first, I didn’t believe him, but I resolve to give it a try, and to be honest, I was amazed by the simplicity of it, it doesn’t work just as a tracker, it is literally a personal nutritionist in your pocket, ready to answer all you questions at any time of the day.

2024.05.19 22:46 No-Maize9681 Does Rogue copy or take away someones powers when she touches them?

I watched XMEN '97 and i love Rogue and i've been looking for more about her. So does the person she touch completely lose their own abilities or can they still use them ? also is it like on a time limit or is it different based on how long she touches someone.

2024.05.19 22:45 thejackrabbitstudio Traditional Artist - learning cartoon/animation style digital (need tips)

I need some serious tips on how to get moving in the right direction! I am a painter and a fine-artist / illustrator. I work in traditional mediums (watercolor mostly)
I have an upcoming project (sorta a personal project) where I need to learn to draw animation/cartoon style charcters and settings. I will need to draw them quickly and effeciently (but I have several months to learn!)
I am having trouble knowing where to start as an advanced level artist, beginneintermediate level digital artist, with ZERO drawing stylized humans or even humans at all.
Character creation, cell shading, even digital soft shading really doesnt come naturally to me. Im having trouble determining when to simplify, or when I can add detail. Also how to make characters look different while still seeming to belong to the same world.
Are there any youtube videos or courses you could point me towards? OR anyone who might be able to help with tips?
I think partially I have a block with wanting everything to be perfect even though Im esentially learning something completely new (so im not happy with anything I can draw)
I even tried tracing (and then deleting of course) some of my favorite animated artists work just to get a feel for different brushes, streamline settings, etc. on procreate and my tracings dont even look ok! So I must be missing some major basics. thanks for reading!

2024.05.19 22:45 MiniMooseMadness How much do you think my fursuit heads are worth? I’m wanting to start taking commissions again but don’t know where to start

How much do you think my fursuit heads are worth? I’m wanting to start taking commissions again but don’t know where to start
I’m finishing up a commission I had started two years ago, but I can’t until I hear back from them for their arm measurements (took me this long due to personal matters and relationships that affected my mental health, as well as my old job taking up all my time and energy to work on it, plus took the commission before I had that job) It’s a full partial, which includes a head, feetpaws, handpaws, head, tail and armsleeves, everything is finished but the head just needs a couple things added and the armsleeves need to be made, plus I’m giving them free shipping for taking this long to complete it.
But in the meantime I’m wanting to take one head commission to try focusing more on Fursuit making again now that I’ve healed from personal issues in my life, but I don’t know how much to sell my work for now, or if anyone would even want to commission me. It’s my dream job but now I’m starting to doubt if I’m even capable of gaining a following and take off with this, any advice would be helpful

2024.05.19 22:44 Thin_Aerie_2808 Boyfriend (20M) Doesn’t Know If He Wants to Get Married Anymore (I’m a 22F). Any Advice?

Hi… this is a throwaway account, and I will be deleting this after getting some advice. I don’t want this becoming popular, I just need some unbiased opinions. My (20M) boyfriend and I (22F) have been together for almost 7 months. We started out long distance, having met online through our university. He’s residential, and I just graduated from the online program. He and I went on a trip together with friends over winter break, which is where we met in person for the first time.
In the beginning of our relationship, we fell hard. We were talking about marriage and children by the second or third month of dating (to the point of making a guest list for the wedding and writing down names for future children). I will add that he and I are both religious (Christianity). After meeting him in person, it became very difficult to stay long distance since during that week-long vacation, we had gotten used to being physically near each other. I began driving back and forth between him and where I currently live (6 hour drive) to spend my off weekends with him. He does not have a car right now since he lives on campus and because of his class schedule and work, he’s not able to come to me.
(Side note: my parents didn’t know about him prior to the trip and were extremely unsupportive of my decisions and the relationship… more on that later).
He and I talked about me moving closer to him, and I began looking for jobs and apartments near our university. I currently have an apartment where I stay when I’m in town, but it’s now been over 4 months of unsuccessfully searching for a job.
I will sugarcoat it for the sake of this post, but for my safety, it’s best if I move out of my parents’ house (no SA, but threats of violence have become more frequent the more independent I become). That being said, my boyfriend and I had a bad fight the other night, in which he said that there “wasn’t anything he could do about it” in response to me saying that I was upset about something. We talked about things and I didn’t realize me telling him about the things my parents said and did was effecting him so negatively. I also said some harsh words, specifically that I was the one that had to live with what I talked to him about. After settling with that for a bit, we both apologized.
Out of that same fight, my boyfriend backed out of a lot of the things he’s said he wanted from our relationship. He assures me that he loves me, but he’s not sure whether he wants to get married or have kids. He said that that wasn’t something he should have committed to so early on in our relationship (it’s the first relationship either of us have had). Over the last few months, “getting married by the end of the year” turned to “getting engaged by the end of the year,” which morphed to “engaged after he graduates,” and the last time we talked about it, we had settled on waiting a couple years for marriage.
I feel like in this relationship, I am being forced to live by his timeline. Being the older of the two of us, that’s understandable, and I was completely okay with waiting for marriage until he’d graduated and found a good job. I made it clear months ago that I don’t want to move in together until we’ve gotten married. He seems content with just being in a relationship for now, but the uncertainty and open-ended-ness of him not knowing whether he wants marriage from our relationship is causing a lot of emotional distress for me, in addition to the worry, stress, and anxiety that living with my parents/not being able to find a new job continues to cause.
I have a therapy appointment tomorrow to hopefully work some of this out, but my biggest concerns are that I’m moving six hours away from home to be with someone I love, and that someone isn’t sure what they want from our relationship anymore. It makes me feel like I’ve wasted time, money, effort, and energy on something that may leave me alone in an unfamiliar city in the end.
He and I have agreed to sit down and talk about our expectations from this relationship, but he’s currently at his parents’ home (3 hours away from the city I’m moving to) packing the rest of his things so that he can move into an apartment with his roommate off campus for his last year of college. He plans to go to graduate school at the same college immediately after graduating (I’m in an online MFA program, btw).
We love one another, but being so far away from each other makes it hard to really sit down and discuss what needs to be discussed. I want to marry him, but it doesn’t have to be right this second. I told him that until he makes a decision on what he wants, I don’t want us to be intimate again. He agreed to that, saying that he accepts my reasoning, but that I don’t need one if I ever don’t feel like being intimate. He’s incredibly kind, loving, and supportive. I think I’ve just put too much on him, both in expectations and emotional stress. The main reason I was upset with him during our fight was that everything he was saying was in direct opposition to what he’d said previously about what he wanted from our relationship. He himself said that the decision/realization of not wanting to get married or have kids yet hit him just as hard as it hit me.
Any advice? I love him. I don’t want to lose him because of crappy circumstances.
TL;DR - My boyfriend has told me that he doesn’t know whether or not he wants to get married, when in the beginning of our relationship we both expressed that’s what we wanted.

2024.05.19 22:44 Few_Newt_1034 Complex grief after abusive relationship.

Warning: abuse
At 19F in the middle of active alcoholism 3 years after my mom went to jail for murder for hire, I was a SW (looking?) for a SD? - while out at a bar I got approached by a 43M that I found attractive and very charismatic. Thinking we’d end up having “fun”, I returned the honest sentiment of attraction. We stayed together 2.5 years after that. He was a Chemist who laughed and made light of everything, his alcoholism and drug addiction became apparent from the beginning, but not to the extent that it got to/really was.
Like all relationships, things started out fun, a very Glee movie summer-like love, very free-ing. He was a Doctor of chemistry and worked in the oil field prior to my meeting him, because of his living situation and luxury cars he seemed like he was doing well. He never was any type of SD. The night I met him, we made eye contact and never looked away. Our chemistry, pun intended- was like nothing I’ve ever experienced.
I’m the youngest, not the smartest nor prettiest. I quit my jobs because I simply didn’t want to work sometimes, I made a lot of mistakes and I’ve been in the receiving end of family based bullying and school bullying, SA, R@p€, abandonment and trust issues, I’m bipolar, I practice/d SH, depression, GAD… things of the human condition that make it feel like I’m faulty.
This man was the first person that ever sat with me and listened to me vent to the extent that I did the first tight we spent together. We rarely had sex, but we shared breaths as we slept, (he inhales my breath as I exhale his breath, vise-versa and so on and so forth) to keep it brief and give example. He’s the most intimate partner I’ve ever experienced.
I notice others micro expressions and cater to their benefit if it seems they are troubled or asking for help.
I’m having so much trouble these days accepting the fact that I’m never going to meet him again. Specifically because he was so attentive and catering to my needs. He knew immediately when I was masking. I’m so confused and perplexed about the feeling of not having anyone in my life that has that interest in me. I felt so understood. That’s been my first and last experience with feeling understood like that.
He drank from morning to night nonstop. Together we became aware of what alcoholism was. Brown urine, blood, pain… regret that then led to arguments, accidents, threats, drugs, danger, fear turned to bonding, helping each other, trying to get better, failing. Trying again. Do it all over again. Fail. Again and again.
We managed to get sober a few days. His parents loved me. I understood and loved him. He hadn’t been sober for that long and trying for a long time. He was doing better, that’s what his mom would say.
Every relapse got harder, more dangerous medically and physically as well as economically.
Sleep deprivation was torture I hadn’t experienced before. I would be awoken with yelling because of delirium, anger and he would degrade me so badly. Use that bond we had against me, my own experiences turned against me he’d repeat the insults I shared with him to me. Yell those at me. Then love bomb. Then threaten me and my family with guns. I lived in fear when he blacked out. Felt lonely because with all of the yelling, smashing things around, being stared at by neighbors crying, being called an idiot dumbass in front of people and them witnessing me at a low point and then, agreeing with him? No neighbor knocked after crying and yelling to see if anyone was ok or dying. Public shame feels so. Fucking. Lonely. Isolation doesn’t help.
He stopped functioning. His body started giving out. I loved him. Took care of him cleaned his wounds after falls, his body after incontinence. He literally shed blood, shit and tears, regret and asked for forgiveness when I cared for him in his sober state.
In return, I’d receive non stop verbal abuse if I didn’t stop and do what he wanted me to at the time he wanted me to and how he wanted me to. If I didn’t give him my attention he’d end up getting it by threatening my family. And he would! Fight my brother and go after him with loaded guns. So there I would go do what he said. Forced to ride in a vehicle, with him locking the doors, blasting Phil Collins yelling at me. Driving erratically, dangerously. And I’d be so fucking scared of crashing. Just imagining the police report, “f19 dead alongside 43m after drunk reckless driving”. He’d speed in traffic so I couldn’t really jump out the car. I’d end up just drinking to numb the fear.
I had enough and attempted to sleepies forever by taking a sweet deadly cocktail of whatever handful of pills I could get my hands on. We had plastic gallon moving boxes filled with narcotics- he was a pharmacist too. I told him I was going to KMS he said go ahead, so I attempted and I filmed it.
From the setting up the phone in that closet, the one I color coordinated for him, his button-ups and suits in those dry-cleaning bags that hadn’t been opened since leaving the laundry shop… I watched my su!c!d€ afterwards. Out of morbid curiosity. “What a dumbass!” was what he said when he found me. I won’t go into detail of the full video but chest compressions hurt a lot, 10/10 would not recommend. And EMS left the AED stickers on my chest 🤷🏽‍♀️
After that 24hr watch, an awkward taxi drive to a crisis clinic that was understaffed and left me in a room by myself for two hours and walking in public with those see-through paper hospital clothes. Embarrassment is a light expression. When I was taken home, I didn’t have keys, or phone, or anything. Just my discharge papers and my cut vomit stained pajamas in a biohazard bag. - I lived in a gated neighborhood with key-fob-entry-only. I was fucked and waited what seemed like 4 hours for anyone to help me but no one showed up until HE did WITH MY BROTHER. The one who was threatened with a gun, that brother.
JFC the amount of insults, “what a fucking dumbass, what were you thinking? You’re a fucking idiot!” To summarize in the friendliest way. I was dressed in a see through hospital gown, I went straight to the shower, didn’t have the energy to get dressed when they kept just YELLING at me. INSULTING me- I had enough and wanted to defend myself. That’s when my brother pulled out his phone and started filming me pleading with them to let me sleep, calling me crazy, threatening to “show the family how fucking crazy you are!” - I threw my phone. Broke the microwave door. More insults, while still filming me, I was ordered to, “clean it up” - and at that moment. Completely detached, I did.
I put my brother on the soon-est bus to Mexico and sent him to rehab after 2 hell filled weeks of him living with us because he was so fucked in alcoholism he was homeless. To this day I don’t know how I did that.
I managed to leave my ex. 2 weeks later I receive calls from worried friends. Ryan was missing.
After investigating, (calls to police,hospitals, checking out the “usual” spots) - turns out he went to a Circle K looking for Peroni after the liquor store wouldn’t sell to him, tripped on the steps, hit his head on the pavement, STILL MANAGED TO PURCHASE ALCOHOL, left, got into a fight, and somehow miraculously ended up in his apartment where he tried to shower, fell face forward towards the water tap, (which left a softball sized bruise on his right eye and fractured his nose) he then tried to walk towards the kitchen? Passed out in the living room leaving blood all over the walls, puddles on the ground and the biggest blood clot stain on the floor ( we had to get crime scene cleaners). He apparently had a fit where he trashed the apartment by throwing my things, my plants, bottles of crown… anything. Everything was trashed when I found him in the apartment. I counted at LEAST 20 bottles of crown. He was so fucked up we thought he had been assaulted.
COVID hit and hospitals were in full lockdown. As an “essential worker” I could travel to the hospital to see him, and because someone somewhere said I was his wife/fiancée I was the ONLY one allowed to see him.
I snuck behind friends and family’s backs checking in on him at the hospital. Singing The Carpenters songs, wearing his favorite perfumes, reading Bill’s Story (IYKYK), playing Phil Collins. The whole 9 yards.
The last time I saw him, he was in Physical therapy/Rehab. He ended up moving back to his parents in California. Then February the next year, on Valentine’s Day - his mom let me know he passed.
She grieved very much attached to me. It was one of the saddest things I ever had to help someone through - alongside helping her son go through alcoholism.
I became a CNA as a tribute to helping him during those hard sober times where his body gave out. Helping others like that, bathing them, diaper changing, g-tube cleaning, hygiene essentials…
The classic grief started with what-if’s. Etc. it’s been hard lately because all my family is against him and his family resents me for being the only one with access to his medical records during COVID. I’m in a relationship now and our therapist told me to “put a break on it”. Recently. My mental illnesses keep getting worse and I feel like no other has taken such interest in me as much as Ryan did. He was so observant. So in-sync with me. And he was so shitty to me. He’s like the sweetest tasting radioactive flower that once was and will never be. And I’m grieving. And it’s so lonely out here.
I don’t know. I’m not suicid@l, I’m medicated and 4 years sober. It’s been hard and it’s getting harder to understand. I feel neglected and lonely. Anything helps please.

2024.05.19 22:44 JohnTheCynic Game Balance Requires Game Bugs to be Squashed

Too long, didn't read version: With the shocking amount of bugs in the game, there are a series of problems when it comes to balancing the game when a lot of systems might not be functioning as intended, and looking at patch notes history, you can easily come to the same conclusion I have. This needs to be addressed, but doing so has some problems us consumers might not be privy not to.
Too long, DID read version:
Balance is a hotly-debated topic on the subreddit, but most of it boils down to "X needs Y in order to Z" or any other derivative of that argument. An example would be, say, "The Liberator needs 5 more damage in order to compete with the Sickle" or "Civilian extraction missions for bots are stupidly difficult and need to be toned down", and arguments like that are fine, but a pressing issue for me is that the game has so many unintended bugs that it is almost impossible to truly gauge what system needs change simply because we don't know what the developers are intending, nor do we know what is bugged.
So, I began to review the patch notes up to today to try to find some examples, and I'd like to point out my findings.
- Patch 1.000.200 -
This is the main thing that got me into thinking about game bugs ruining any sense of balance in HELLDIVERS. People rightfully complained for a while that bots were unfun to fight because a rocket would commonly oneshot a player, and it was due to a bug in damage calculation. This had a knockon effect with Shrieker bodies previously oneshotting a player if they were hit by the Shrieker body, which was fixed in the same patch.
The game had been out for almost 2 months by this point, and the "inconsistent" charge rate of the arc thrower felt more like a feature than bug for a lot of players. For those not aware, the Arc Thrower used to be able to fire rapidly after the initial charge (~ .5 second charge needed instead of the full 1 second in the patch).
"Inconsistency" in weapon performance is also responsible for a handful of changes to weapons: the Railgun was famously nerfed in Patch 1.000.100 just before Charger head durability was nerfed and rocket penetration was normalized in Patch 1.000.102, and the PC to PS5 damage bug was fixed in Patch 1.000.203, as an example.
So far, this has been the final nerf to the difficulty of the "Retrieve Essential Personnel" mission, and it's downright laughable. If anything, it pushed back Automaton dropship spawns ~15m from their previous drop points but did nothing to the breakneck pace the dropships come in at, which is where the main complaint comes from players.
Players get around this by having 1 player stealth the objective while 3 cause a bunch of noise elsewhere, but that's unreliable at best. From personal testing, enemy spawns are centered on the player and not the objective, so once the stealth player gets unlucky with a 25% chance for the enemy spawn to select them, the bots/bugs will spawn on top of them as normal. I've heard that developers have commented on the ludicrous spawnrates on the Discord and that they'll be adjusted, but getting information from Discord might as well be torture.
An attempt to make damage-over-time weapons more palatable (which at the time were not even working), but led to the dreaded Hulk Scorcher instakilling divers. This was partially fixed in later patches, but Hulk Scorchers can still instakill via headshots.
- Patch 1.000.300 -
Once again, by the time this change was made, no word was said about the size of patrols in >4 player groups, but the design director stated that the scaling was "unintended" to be exponential instead of linear, and changed patrols to be much more punishing for >4 player groups. This, thankfully, was changed back as confirmed by Twinbeard.
On release, the Airburst was a meme, let's not beat around the bush, and Arrowhead agreed by reducing the amount of entities that would spark the fuze to the warhead. Until Patch 1.000.304, where they added back the ability for the warhead to fuze off of Helldivers. It's easy to say the most up-to-date patch is the "truest", but it begs the question of which way are Arrowhead trying to design the Airburst if they changed their mind in 2 weeks?
- Patch 1.000.100 -
The Patriot has been in a sad state ever since launch. It suffered from a bug that if the user were to fire a missile while rotating right, the user would explode. In Patch 1.000.103, the Patriot was "fixed" by restricting the missile launcher elevation controls and making the sight wildly inaccurate, and then was further gutted in Patch 1.000.200 that any launched Patriot missiles need to be a direct hit to penetrate armor; a restriction that was removed for the EAT and RR in Patch 1.000.10. Following Patch 1.000.200, it's been complete radio silence if this is the final iteration.
There are more examples, but these are the main examples I want to put forward without risking overflowing a reddit post. Bug fixed are a low priority for a live-service game (because fixing a bug doesn't drive engagement like a shiny new weapon does), but each day that goes by just makes me wonder what else could be "unintended" and will be fixed. My money's on the RR animation cancel.

2024.05.19 22:42 icantthinkofone999 Did anyone else's Narc ex rebound with the person they didn't allow you to be?

My ex likely had NPD and some other... issues. He was kind of covert, though. He wouldn't raise his voice, he was more about doing covert things to get a reaction out of me. Getting a reaction out of me seemed to be his biggest goal.
He was also a fake people pleaser, but there were a number of things he said clearly that he was opposed to. When we first got together I was poly and told him that and he wasn't OK with it. So I became monogamous with him which was fine but it was a sacrifice I made. Later in the relationship I suggested opening the relationship to get his needs met because we had a dead bedroom situation because I had serious health issues and he didn't seem to understand how to work around them to maintain intimacy. He agreed but with the stipulation that I could only sleep with women. I told him that wasn't fair and we had an argument.
The outcome of the argument is that he decided not to open the relationship because if I were to sleep with another man it would mean that he was "a failure as both a man and a lover" [his words] so I left it at that. A couple weeks later I caught him cheating on me [dumb right!?! I was giving him permission and he rejected it!].
There were some other things. He told me he hated cigarette smokers. He told me he thinks overweight women are unattractive. He refused to get kinky in the bedroom with me even though he had a "kink kit" that he got from the mall or something before we met. He said he doesn't smoke weed [that was a lie.. he was just mirroring me when I told him I didn't smoke weed].
When he left me on a whim, he immediately got into a relationship and moved in with a person who 1. was overweight 2. heavily smoked cigarettes and weed 3. was into public kink 4. was VERY poly 5. whose favorite band was probably in my top 5 most disliked bands [he later rubbed this in my face so I'm adding it here for context] 6. was a sex worker
He basically got into a relationship with the type of person he either told me he hated, or was diametrically opposed to everything that he expected of me and restricted me to.
I've done a lot of healing since the breakup, but this is one thing I haven't made total peace with. How can someone create and hold certain expectations of me, and then make a complete 180? Is it a NPD thing?
He also tried really hard to rub this relationship in my face after the breakup. He was trying to get a jealous reaction out of me, and he kept upping the ante when he didn't get it. It led to him creating a fake story about how he was dying, which certainly got a reaction out of me.. I called his family to ask if he was OK and then he got angry at me for exposing his BS and blocked me.
I'm wondering if others here have experienced similar, because if I can throw it into the "irrational NPD behavior" bin perhaps I can make peace with it. Thank you for reading.

2024.05.19 22:41 xpyder1 My boss is making my life hell

I (F20) am a foreign worker in Middle East, currently I am in university completing my bachelor’s. My university is mostly online, so I thought why not get some experience in another country? Long story short, I left my country and starting working in another. At first, I really liked my job. I was working as a receptionist, although I was bullied a lot, I was determined to survive and make something out of myself, as I was 19 at that time and working in a foreign country was a dream come true. Slowly, I started seeing red flags. As my company used to twist and turn rules all the time. If the government asked the company to decrease the hours and make them 6, my company would make it 7 by finding a loophole. By Government, it is a must that every employee is provided a health insurance, but guess what? I was never provided one. By law, the break should be 1 hour, but I had only 45 minutes. They even decrease the number of national holidays for employees. Tbh, it’s a very small company so no one have the guts to complain but a lot of people left during this whole period. It’s been 1/5 years since I’m working here, recently while coming to work I tripped and hurt myself. I couldn’t go to work for 2 days and a lot of work was compromised. But, my boss was like I’m okay with it because he could see the bruises and the swelling in my foot. I can’t afford health check up here, as I earn like an average salary and rents too high plus my tuition fees so I requested my company for insurance and waited almost 7 days for it. After getting the insurance, I went to the clinic and it turns out I suffered bone trauma and my ligament was damaged and that’s why I was feeling terrible pain and was unable to walk properly. Anyways, my boss usually verbally abuses me, calls me name, reaches out to be outside of my working hours, makes me do his personal work as well and underpays me (Not just me though, there’s one more person and he got it worst than me) was nicer than usual because of this injury. After my visit to the clinic, I went to work and as soon as I entered my boss’s office he asked me to cut the act and stand straight? (Which I was unable to because I was in pain and doctor advised me not to put pressure on my leg as my bones got some tenderness) I was dumbfounded, and then proceeded to call me names such as an actress and God knows what not. (Additionally My boss is a M42, he always commented on my height, and how fat women aren’t attractive and how fair women are prettier & I always felt so uncomfortable.) I told him I was hurt and I have government issued 6 days sick leave, he was like that means you will be working from home. I told him that no that would be working from home not sick leave. Anyways, he made fun of me and had a lot of mean comments about me, and told me to go home. While I was leaving I asked my manager where I can drop my sick leave and to my shock my boss said there’s no need to submit a sick leave to my manager as they reject my sick leave and I will be working from home. At that time I didn’t say anything because I knew it was useless but as soon as I got home I planned that I will not work from home as I do need to pay govt a fees for these sick leaves and these leaves meant that I can rest without working which I desperately needed. Around the time I was supposed to be clocked in, I informed my boss that I will not be working from home and I have proper sick leave for it. Fast forward to the afternoon I get a call from my manager saying that those days which I will not show up to work will be considered unpaid as I am not working? As per the instructions of my boss. Which is totally unfair because sick leaves are fully paid leaves? I have a good relation ship with my manager he proceeded to tell me that my boss called me names such as a mother Tucker and sister Tucker and worst and said that I’m abusing their kindness?? I want to quit so bad, but I can’t as I need to get a loan from a bank and a bank will only give you loan if you are working at a company from longer than 6 months and I desperately need that money so that I can pay my tuition in an Australian university and move there. It’s my dream, and the only reason I am waiting for the loan is that bank only gives loan to 20+ years old adults and I will turn 20 on 2nd of June. It may seem really close but believe me every minute at work is emotionally physically and mentally challenging and I am very close to giving up I just can’t take it anymore and I feel so messed up as I have fallen into anxiety and depressed and I cry all the time. I have no idea what to do and I would really appreciate some advise on how to handle this situation.
Please note that other than the loan thing I have no means to afford education in Australia so that’s why I am waiting and I have been waiting for the time I can get the loan.

Not to say that others perception of you is the most important thing, but being antisocial, introverted and generally unpopular is a lame personality trait that people in this sub seem to brag about for some reason. Theres a fine line between being obsessed with being cool and being completely socially unaware and I feel like people here tend to skew towards the latter

2024.05.19 22:40 Yudenz "The Terrible Little My" is my Favorite 90's Episode. Here's Why.

I grew up in a very emotionally turbulent household. Both my parents were hot heads, and demanded compliance from my siblings and I. Towards the latter half of my years in high school, things got particularly bad. My Sister and my Stepmom had a large falling out after years of rising tensions, and my Sister moved out to my Mother's house, which was in a different city. My relationship with my stepmom had becomed intensely strained as well, as I became less scared to fight back when I was being punished unfairly. Fights broke out almost every day, and I was in a very bad place. This was someone I was very, very close to, you see. She was the mother figure in my life. So the constant arguments took a large toll on my mental health. Slowly, things improved throughout my senior year, and I graduated and moved out. Through all the arguments I knew that she still loved me like a son. Through everything, all of the problems, I knew she was just trying to parent in the best way she knew how. So I forgave her, and now I'm closer to her than ever. My sister, however, never forgave her. They haven't seen eachother in years.
A month ago, my stepmom tried again to talk to my sister. I remember she said she wanted them to go get ice cream and to discuss the past and move forward; to have a productive conversation. My sister said no, again. My stepmom had been crying after I told her, at a loss of what to do. She just wanted to see her again; after all, she was what she considered one of her children. She had been devastated that she had been cut out of my sister's life despite her many chances to make her love for my sister known. Me and my stepsister helped her come to terms with the situation, as even after the things she'd done, she didn't deserve to feel like that. She's only human, and despite how she has come across in the past, she is an incredibly emotional person.
The Terrible Little My doesn't have a plot that lines up with my little narrative about my stepmother, but it teaches a very valuable lesson to the people who watch it that, given the story I've just told, runs very deep with me. It tells the tale of Little My, who one day wakes up and decides that nobody can stop her from doing whatever she wants to do. She steals the bread basket and doesn't give it back, and indirectly hurts Moomin by scaring him so he falls down a hill. Little My deserts the scene, not wanting a confrontation, because she knows she's too blame, but is scared of the consequences of what she did. This rings true as she stands up on the hill and initially grimaces, realizing the real damage she might have caused. So she ditches the scene, desperate to not be confronted. Everybody else is quick to incriminate her, and for a couple days, nobody bats a second glance to where she might be after she just up and left (besides Moominmama, that is), and instead all share a collective "Good riddance" feeling towards Little My. After hearing Moomin essentially say she won't be forgiven and doesn't have a place in the Moomin family anymore, she lashes out one last time and leaves again ti hide out with Snufkin. She's deeply hurt by the notion that she's not a welcome component of the family anymore, and believes it wholeheartedly. She believes she's been completely exiled, and that nothing she can do will change that.
This story is brought to an end once Moomin sees how horrible he made Little My feel, to which he happily invites her back to the family and forgives her for what she did. This is the lesson of this episode that I feel is very important for people to know. Deep down, we're all only human, who are capable to making mistakes, grave ones. We will all probably hurt the ones we love at some point another, and we can't change that. But what is important, that is episode helps demonstrate, is that we should all know that forgiveness is always an option. Nobody should ever have to feel disavowed from the others that they love because of a mistake they have made. Everyone is deserving of forgiveness, and when forgiveness isn't granted, that will strike a very deep chord in the very fiber of someone's being. That's deep pain that nobody should ever have to experience; the pain that my stepmom felt when my sister refused to see her.
And that's why it's my favorite episode of Moomins, across all adaptations. With how I can take the lesson shown here and apply it to my own life, this episode feels like it hits very close to home for me.

2024.05.19 22:38 abutterflyonthewall How Jesus Reveals the Invisible God

In Christianity, Jesus is regarded as God incarnate, embodying the full revelation of the invisible God as we see in Colossians 1:15, which refers to Him as "the image of the invisible God."
If I were to show you an image of myself - would it not be the true me?
The understanding of Jesus being God is supported through a mix of theological reasoning and scriptural evidence.
As always:
The Concept of the Trinity: - The doctrine of the Trinity is central to most Christian understandings of Jesus as God. It describes God existing as three distinct persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) but is ONE in essence, ONE God. This is not a contradiction but a unique characteristic of God's divine nature. - Logically, if God can be one and three simultaneously, then Jesus, as part of the Trinity (the Son), can be fully God while also being a distinct person from the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Revelation of God's Nature: - If God wishes to reveal Himself fully to humanity (which sought for a tangible sign of God), a logical method would be through a tangible, relatable, and fully observable manner. In Christian theology, Jesus as the incarnation of God (God taking human form) accomplishes this by living as a human, teaching, and interacting directly with people.
Several key scriptures support the belief that Jesus is God and the revelation of the invisible God:
John 1:1, 14 - "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." - "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us." - These verses establish that Jesus (the Word) was both with God and was God, emphasizing His divine nature and His incarnation.
Colossians 1:15-17 - "The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him." - This passage declares that Jesus is not only the image of the invisible God but also the agent through whom all things are created, attributing divine qualities and actions to Him (Jesus).
Hebrews 1:3 - "The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by his powerful word." - Here, Jesus is described as the exact representation of God’s being and sustaining all things, a role that could only logically belong to a divine being.
Philippians 2:5-8 - "Christ Jesus, who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness." - This describes Jesus' incarnation as an act of humility and service, asserting His preexistence and divinity before becoming human.
Logically, if God aims to reveal Himself fully, the most effective means would be through an incarnate form that participates fully in human nature while maintaining divine nature.
Biblically, scripture affirms Jesus’ divinity and His role as the full and final revelation of God. He embodies the nature and authority of God, makes the invisible God visible, and personally delivers the divine message and salvation to humanity.
Understanding Jesus' identity is crucial because it shapes our understanding of God's nature and His intentions for humanity.

2024.05.19 22:38 SignificantDrama9111 Feeling not good enough for a guy

I‘m 21 and never been in a relationship. I have mixed feelings about that - sometimes i‘m totally okay with that, but sometimes i‘m struggling. a bit of a description: now i am all in all happy, studying the perfect thing, quite pretty (latina, brown eyes and hair, trained body, 160cm, white teeth)
so i decided to install hinge and see what happens:)
texted with a guy about three weeks before we met. I was extremely nervous before. The first date was really nice. We made a walk and drank sth in a bar. After he walked me home bc it was late at night.
we texted right after and also the next days until we had a second date. That one was also good.
the question for me is: i am shy and introverted, so it is really hard to open up for me and also being myself with a completely new person
the guy is very chill, extroverted and brings up all the topics for our conversations, he has a lot (really a lot of friends)
but when it comes to me - i am lost what to say, and forget the easiest things, and also feel a little stupid and banal (it has nothing to do with his reaction or sth)
We still text each other, but i am not sure how interested he really is
I kinda get the point, that it has to do with my insecurities but how do find out if he is interested in me? and not just keeping the conversation bc he wants to be nice

2024.05.19 22:36 No-Ad8402 [Landlord - US - CA]

TLDR; tenant has vacated the premises early and wants security deposit ASAP but they still owe rent for 2 weeks in June.
I’m a landlord renting out my townhome in San Francisco. Tenants have been fine until they recently gave notice. Our month-to-month addendum to the full year lease stated that both parties must give 60 days notice. In mid-April they gave notice and stated they wanted to vacate by end of May. I kindly referred them to the addendum reminding them that our contract will end in mid-June. As an offer of good faith, I said if I can rent the unit out before June 15th, I will only charge you the prorated amount (e.g. new tenants move in June 6th, old tenants would be charged for only 5 days). They agreed and offered to help share our listing. They stated that they are planning on leaving the premises in May, and we just completed a virtual and in-person walk-through (May 15). Fortunately only minor issues and we agreed to take those charges off their security deposit. The challenge now is that they’re asking for the security deposit back now that we’ve done the walk-through and they handed over the keys last week. They are quoting CA civil code that “the deposit must be paid back no later than 21 calendar days after tenant has vacated the premises.” They are claiming they vacated on May 8th but they still had the keys until May 15th when we completed the walk-through in person. They want their deposit (minus deductions we agreed to) on May 29th. The problem is, they still owe rent for half of June still.
My thoughts are: 1) doesn’t the fact that the tenants had sole access to the premises until May 15 mean that that’s the “vacated date”? Meaning the 21 days starts then, and the deposit would be due no later than June 5th. 2) if they need the money immediately, should I offer the option for them to take the entire security deposit (minus the deductions, and the June rent that is owed)? I don’t want to charge the rent owed out of their deposit, but I think due to their poor scheduling, they may need the cash sooner rather than later. This would mean they forfeit the option of getting any prorated rent for June back.
I feel like we were both very professional and accommodating throughout the last 2 years and I want to give them the benefit of the doubt, but also protect myself from having to chase down the June rent that they owe.
This is my first experience as a landlord and first move-out process, so I appreciate any advice you can share.

2024.05.19 22:34 MiniMooseMadness How much do you think my fursuit heads are worth? I’m wanting to start taking commissions again but don’t know where to start

How much do you think my fursuit heads are worth? I’m wanting to start taking commissions again but don’t know where to start
I’m finishing up a commission I had started two years ago, but I can’t until I hear back from them for their arm measurements (took me this long due to personal matters and relationships that affected my mental health, as well as my old job taking up all my time and energy to work on it, plus took the commission before I had that job) It’s a full partial, which includes a head, feetpaws, handpaws, head, tail and armsleeves, everything is finished but the head just needs a couple things added and the armsleeves need to be made, plus I’m giving them free shipping for taking this long to complete it.
But in the meantime I’m wanting to take one head commission to try focusing more on Fursuit making again now that I’ve healed from personal issues in my life, but I don’t know how much to sell my work for now, or if anyone would even want to commission me. It’s my dream job but now I’m starting to doubt if I’m even capable of gaining a following and take off with this, any advice would be helpful

2024.05.19 22:34 Devinely_Uninspired Burner Phone

Growing up I had (what I considered at the time) very strict parents. In retrospect, they were actually very good parents and I’m glad they did what they did. They wouldn’t allow me to have a phone until freshman year of highschool (I was homeschooled with freshman year of highschool being my first public school expirances) and they always had weird rules.
They were Christian and conservative, but not the super crazy kind. They wouldn’t let me watch horror movies, we didn’t believe in Halloween; all skeletons, skulls, death and “evil” were not allowed in the house, so no shirts with a skull on it or whatever. This wasn’t an issue for me except I did want to watch horror movies and such.
They also would listen to Christian music, not like choir music but music focused on religion. I had no issue with this, but they wouldn’t allow me to listen to almost anything else. I could listen to clean cringey pop music, and classic rock such as The Eagles or Pink Floyd. They were against any kind of like rap or metal or anything like that.
I was like 11 at the time, and while at a family function for some holiday, one of my close cousins told me they had upgraded their phone and they would give me their old one. I gladly accepted but didn’t expect it to really happen, but surprisingly to me, she had the phone with her and just handed it to me.
Thoughts ran through my mind all day, and when I finally got home I plugged it in and began setting it up as it had been factory reset. I decided I would not be telling my parents about this, and I could do whatever I wanted. Another rule of my families was very strict restrictions on internet (which is good but I wanted to have unrestricted access).
Surprisingly I was pretty good at hiding it, I just used it after bed time and had various hiding places for it during the day. During my time with the phone I had visited porn sites very frequently, watched YouTube all I wanted, watched horror movies on it, etc.
One other thing with my parents was their views of people online; to them, every single person interacted with online was a predator. Safety first, but this became my number one use for the burner, making friends online. Being homeschooled and zero social interaction, I had apps upon apps just for making random friends.
Some of these friends I ended up very very close to, I had online “girlfriends” as immature kids tend to do. I did send and have saved some photos on my phone (I was stupid)
My parents being how they were, they were quite homophobic (self kept about it but still) They weren’t the loud type who freaks out at gay people in public or anything but I was raised to see it as wrong.
This comes in to play because somehow I had stumbled upon lesbian porn, and was very attracted to it. Im not proud of this but by the end of my burner, I probably had 20k videos in my watch history. It was bad.
I had this burner for three whole years Just accumulating incriminating shit against me on it, stuff my parents would disown me for.
But one day I got kinda careless with it, I had began subtly using it during the day, taking it in the shower and bathroom with me.
And one time I had it in the bathroom, not using the bathroom, but hiding and an excuse to use it, probably to text one of my friends. My dad was drunk, I forgot to lock the door, and he walked right in. I shoved it in my pocket quickly, but not quickly enough.
He started asking me what I just had in my hand, in a furious and drunk way. I tried to lie and said I didn’t have anything, but he knew I did. He said “give it to me” in an angry voice.
Knowing what I had on it, I completely panicked. I quickly took it out of my pocket and smashed it against the ground as hard as I could. I was trying to destroy the evidence. Idk what went through his mind, but it looked like the second it hit the ground he went sober. He just stared blankly at it smashed to pieces on the ground for the longest 5 seconds of my life, looked up at me, and walked out. He looked sad.
I picked the pieces of it up, threw them away, and cried for the entire night. I didn’t know if I would ever talk to my friends again, how my dad felt, anything. He didn’t say a single word to me for a week, and I tried to avoid him as best I could.
He has never once spoken about it, referenced it, nothing. To this day he has never said a word. I don’t think my mom ever knew about this.
Not that big of a deal but sometimes I still think back on that.

2024.05.19 22:33 Renskol Re-discovering Self Improvement & Confidence

I am 30M and since I was 17, I discovered and fallen in love with self-improvement. Routine, habits, reading, volunteering, working out, and purpose helped me drive my years of discipline in multiple areas of my life. Was I happy doing those things and keeping busy? Yes, I was until I turned 23/24, and realised there is more to life such as travelling, socialising outside a rigorous diet without competing, and naturally falling in love in which I did not expand my mind too.
My 20s were better than usual, with medical issues taking some time away, but I always remained positive. And I still remain positive to this day. I went through a “rough patch” at the end of 2023, such as ending my long-term relationship of 6 years whilst living together, unforeseen career changes id in which I lost my job (to this day, employment is staggered), major shift in family dynamics, I had stopped reguarly working out and dieting, I put my personal ambitions on pause and I had dramatic increased financial responsibilities. It was uncanny timing this all occurred in a matter of weeks. I am grateful though for some changes as I did not feel like myself, I had completely mentally burnt out.
I can say comfortably that these above habits and aspects of my life was taking a beating every day. This was not a fast process, it was slow. I am in control and responsible of my emotions, feelings, thoughts, and actions. I would change a few decisions if I could, but it is what is. Those few decisions are more related to my career, I view it as a lesson for the future. I have gone through therapy, and I am emotionally self-aware.
I am optimistic for what is next in my life despite one major hurdle, I know what I need to do as I have done this before, I lack simple discipline. I hate the word "motivation" but there is no fire or energy to perform a basic routine. Some habits include:
“Losing myself” to me means that I lost control of my routine, habits, sources of happiness, and my natural personality. My discipline and resilience were challenged in 2023, in hindsight I should had walked away, by resigning earlier from my job. Instead I followed the carrot on the stick and went down a rabbit hole.
I chased false promises in the belief I would be promoted, and I was reminded that my job is safe, as all staff turned to FTC during the pandemic. Why did I want the promotion? Because I was working, trained and positioned to take the job for 3 years. It was all manipulation as noticed by former colleagues. I was working too overtime that was unpaid, and it impacted the other areas of my life.
This is not who I am or who I was one year ago. Whether I feel this way from over a decade of constant discipline, social challenges as being an extrovert, or I am still burnt out. I can address and journal a large list of problems that I faced in recent times, but that assist.
I am struggling to get my foot off the ground to follow a basic routine, and I do not know where to start.

2024.05.19 22:32 Rahzin Is everyone's server experience poor?

Hey guys, my sister got me this game recently and said she had been loving it. I too have been loving it, so we thought it might be fun to make a server to play together. Nothing crazy, just her and I, maybe one other person ever online. I set up a server and played for a bit, and compared to single player, the experience was not ideal...
Now, I will admit that technically my server hardware doesn't quite meet the minimum spec, but I don't really think these issues have to do with that. Let me explain. From what I've seen, minimum spec is a dual core 3.8ghz CPU, 6GB of RAM plus 2GB per player (obviously not including OS RAM usage), and 30GB of disk space. The server I am running this on only reaches a max clock of 3.2ghz, however it is a dual Xeon CPU server with 12 cores / 24 threads, and from watching task manager, even while I am playing, the CPU core under heaviest load does not exceed about 60% usage, and that's after increasing the server FPS to 120. The system has 64GB of RAM, so I doubt that'll be a problem. It's also got plenty of disk space and is running a RAID 10 array with I believe 12 disks. Not as fast as an SSD, but seems to me like it should be adequate.
Anyway, I really just want to ask if this sounds like everyone else's experience when playing on a server. For the most part it's playable, but 3/4 of these issues I am having makes me think that I would rather just play in single player. Like I said, love the game, and I am absolutely going to continue playing either way, but I just can't deal with all of these issues together when the game runs perfectly fine (usually) in single player. What about you guys?

2024.05.19 22:32 Historical-Speech103 [GA] [MT]Anyone willing to provide assistance with proper further steps to take regarding rep payee funds and identity theft?

I'm an adult disabled child and have had a representative payee until the beginning of this year. Currently living in Montana but unable to receive the level of assistance I require from local groups due to the age and jurisdiction. This is regarding misappropriation of funds and identity theft with one of my previous payees from 2017-2021. As an adult disabled child with a representative payee I was informed that I could have no direct access to any form of money myself both by SSA when I received my award and by both of the representative payees I previously had. They would either give me cash without me having knowledge of available balance or directly give me a credit or debit card with instructions on what I was authorized to purchase that I would then surrender once I returned. Sometime during 2017 I made my then girlfriend Jennifer Jackson my payee. She recommended building credit for me and I authorized her to open two credit accounts on my behalf which she would manage with my social Security funds. The two accounts were PayPal and Capital One. The only updates that I ever received were verbal confirmation that they were paid and at some time in 2018 or early 2019 she showed me a printout of my credit report which listed my credit as over 700. Approximately 2-21, I was experiencing a panic attack and mental disturbance while being harassed by Miss Jackson while she was driving my vehicle. I wanted to go home. She refused and continued to harass me while attempting to force me to contact associates about procuring opioids for her because she was in withdrawals. I struck her twice in the arm. At that time she took me home. The police were called and I was arrested. A restraining order was placed in which she told the judge that she was completely dependent on my home, my vehicles and my income as her only form of support. This was unfactual as she also received roughly the same amount as me in SSI whereas I receive SSDI, and all bills were split between her myself my father and my stepmother. Each of our shares were approximately $350 a month as can be attested to on the financial reports supplied to social Security and the Georgia welfare programs. I was not allowed access to any monies from social Security from that date until my father was made my payee approx 7-22. I had no access to my family lawyer for several months due to this. Upon release I discovered that she had sold the vehicle that she was awarded use of by the restraining order. Her ex husband informed me of this via Facebook messenger which I received upon release. During the conversation to him I threatened legal repercussions and asked him to talk to her regarding where my car was and the money she had received and was arrested for harassment/stalking. The beginning of this year I was awarded control of my own finances for the first time. Upon doing so I discovered a total of three items in collections on my credit report totaling approximately $2,600. Portfolio recovery services (Capital One): $694 Midland credit management (Synchrony Bank): $1028 LVNV Funding LLC (Credit One Bank): $880 They will be removed from my report approximately the beginning of 2026. I am unsure how much money she collected on my behalf as social Security has been extremely difficult to work with me in any way regarding this matter. The original SSA office I spoke to, Barrow County, informed me that because we "lived together as man and wife" that she had full rights to any SSA funds even though we were not married and she was my payee. Several organizations have expressed outrage at the "blunt lie" of that statement as Georgia has not have any form of common law in many many years. I have spoken with social Security Representatives regarding this since I moved to Montana and was informed that it was at minimum inappropriate but likely illegal for her to attain credit on my behalf even with my knowledge as she was only authorized to manage social Security funds. This is a drastically different statement from when I was first awarded disability with a payee. I have also filed 2 reports with social Security regarding the misappropriation of funds but have thus far gotten no response. The first verbally when I was released from prison approximately 7-22 in person at the Barrow county social Security office. The second at the behest of my therapist, local social workers, and Disability Rights Montana was filed electronically approximately 2 months ago. I have contacted the Barrow county Police and filed a report. I have also contacted the three credit reporting agencies about this but no changes were made except to update with "customer disputes: meets Fair Credit reporting standards". I added a consumer statement to explain the situation of the debt reflected on my credit report as well. My previous lawyer, Macklin Smith (Deceased), informed me that any contact with her would likely end with more charges even if it was a lawsuit(because of the previous contact with her ex husband regarding the car and money and threat of lawsuit) and advised me to wait until the restraining order had expired to proceed. I would be satisfied with these items removed from my credit history. If the only way to do that is through civil or criminal litigation then I am comfortable doing so now that the restraining order is expired. I have sent letters to both the original creditors and the collection agencies that has since acquired the debt as well stating the same information as this post and stating that it is not an admission of debt ownership or permission to contact me regarding collections. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

2024.05.19 22:32 rmn17 Free Narcan for Lolla (or other Festivals)!

I was just scrolling tiktok and got a video from End Overdose, and found out they provide both free Narcan (well, the generic), and test strips if you complete a course on how to respond to someone else OD-ing. I know last year Lolla had free narcan if you went to the "This Must Be The Place" booth, but in case that booth isn't there this year or if people want to have it ahead of time, this seems like a great option! I finished the course and I only had to pay for shipping (like $8). I was planning on getting some at my local pharmacy, but being able to save money definitely is preferred. Plus, at least this helps you know what to look out for. You can also get test strips for free to, well, minimize an overdose yourself if you intend to use anything at any festivals. Lolla allows a sealed Narcan to be brought in bags, so I definitely think it's better to have it and never need to use it versus need it and not have it! The safety course only took like 20 minutes, and I definitely have a much better understanding of what to look out for and what to do so if worst case scenario does happen, there's less of a chance of panicking and wasting what little time a person may have!
