AI CHATBOTS ARE INTRUDING INTO ONLINE COMMUNITIES WHERE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO CONNECT WITH OTHER HUMANS

A parent asked a question in a private Facebook group in April 2024: Does anyone with a child who is both gifted and disabled have any experience with New York City public schools? The parent received a seemingly helpful answer that laid out some characteristics of a specific school, beginning with the context that “I have a child who is also 2e,” meaning twice exceptional. On a Facebook group for swapping unwanted items near Boston, a user looking for specific items received an offer of a “gently used” Canon camera

WHAT ARE DEEPFAKES AND SHOULD WE BE WORRIED?

Deepfakes are creating havoc across the globe, spreading fake news and pornography, being used to steal identities, exploiting celebrities, scamming ordinary people and even influencing elections. Yet a worldwide survey found 71% of people have no idea what deepfakes are. Deepfakes are digital photos, videos or voices of real people that have either been synthetically created or manipulated using artificial intelligence (AI) and can be hard to distinguish from the real thing. You’ve probably seen a deepfake video or photo without even realizing it. Computer-generated Tom Cruises,

AI TRAINED TO DRAW INSPIRATION FROM IMAGES, NOT COPY THEM

Powerful new artificial intelligence models sometimes, quite famously, get things wrong—whether hallucinating false information or memorizing others’ work and offering it up as their own. To address the latter, researchers led by a team at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a framework to train AI models on images corrupted beyond recognition. DALL-E, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion are among the text-to-image diffusion generative AI models that can turn arbitrary user text into highly realistic images.

“It’s called a grief doll” Dr. Ramos said.
I stared at him like he’d grown a second head.
“A what?” I asked.
I’d agreed to this session to get my mother off my back. Provided, of course, that she also foot the bill. And, truth be told, it hadn’t been an easy couple of months. The word “stillbirth” sounds a lot more peaceful than the reality of it all. You get all the same blood and screaming as a regular birth but with none of the joy afterwards. Things are, I guess, “still,” in a way. The silence of the grave.
“I know it’s a little unconventional,” Dr. Ramos said. “But, there’s been some really solid research to back it up recently. My colleague down in Camden–”
I cut him off. “You want me to buy a lifesized recreation of the dead baby that I just gave birth to?”
He looked slightly chastened by this. “I want you to process what happened, Mary. It can help. Look, if what you were already doing was working you wouldn’t be coming here, right?”
I sighed. “Alright. You’re the doctor. Who am I to argue with science?”
We talked a bit more after that, but it’s not really worth recounting here.
***
The next day I went to the address Dr. Ramos had texted me. It was a little building tucked away downtown between the huge tech skyscrapers and offices. When I walked in, the owner, a short man with a scruffy beard, smiled at me and said “You must be Mary.”
I nodded.
“Would you like to sit down? Do you want anything to drink? Anything to eat?”
I shook my head. “I don’t really want to stay here any longer than I have to, if that’s alright with you,” I said to the Rasputin-looking gentleman sitting behind the desk.
“I get it,” he said, nodding gravely. “People come here to get away from something, not to settle down. Do you have the pictures?”
I took them out of my bag. It had been quite a while since I’d needed to get photographs printed out. Ever since the world had gone digital we’ve all become allergic to paper.
“Here they are,” I said to him. These would serve as the model for the doll. He reached out and took them from me, examining them carefully.
“I think I’ve got what I need. I will let you know if I need anything more,” he said, stroking his long beard hypnotically.
I left and drove home. It was a quiet ride. Much more quiet than I’d been used to. Ever since Tim had left there were these little dead spaces throughout the day. He used to fill car rides with excited chatter about protons and leptons and all the -ons he got to work with as a physicist.
My brain had begun to fill these spaces with grim reflections on the past and future:
It’s your fault.
You don’t deserve a baby.
This is God’s way of telling you that you don’t deserve to be alive.
Over and over again these thoughts would run through my mind like the world’s most depressing tape recorder. Vicious, hateful, unbelievable things kept popping into my head as I drove the short distance home, making the trip feel far longer than it actually was.
***
I had taken to staring at the ceiling and crying myself to sleep most nights. The big, empty house felt suffocating at 3 AM, like all the open space was sucking the air out of my lungs every time I opened my mouth. This had been the way I spent most nights since the stillbirth. I tried to fill the silence any way I could. At all hours of the night, one could hear my TV blaring or my phone playing some podcast or another. Anything to avoid the little dead spaces between one task and the next.
But it was most difficult of all when I tried to sleep. I saw images of my little girl when I closed my eyes. I saw the blood and heard my own screams when it became clear that she would never take a breath. There were also subtler forms of self-inflicted torture.
Exactly one month after the worst day of my life, I came home from work to find Tim’s things cleaned out and a note on the kitchen table. It read:
“I’m sorry Mary. I can’t imagine how hard this month has been for you, but every day I stay here is like a knife to the heart. You’re just so sad and I can’t take it anymore.”
That phrase “You’re just so sad” played in a loop in my mind’s ear.
***
Eventually, I won the battle against consciousness. It was a fitful, restless sleep pregnant with terrible things. I felt like I’d lived an entire life come morning. I dreamt that I’d held little Sarah in my hands, that I’d been able to feed her from my own body just like I’d wanted to do for so many years. But as I held her against my chest she melted into a puddle of flesh and blood, yet never ceased to suck, to draw whatever life she could from me, and I was desperate to give it to her. Eventually, she was little more than eyes in a puddle of fleshy blood, staring at me from the ground and whispering “Why didn’t you save me, Mama?”
I woke with a start. Never, not once in my life, had I experienced a dream like this. I sat huddled in my bedsheets, shaking with tears as I saw the image of my melted little girl swirling around on the floor, asking why I hadn’t helped her. Reality seeped back in stages, penetrating the veil of sadness, and shocking me to my feet with the blaring intensity of my phone’s alarm. It was always turned up to full volume because anything lower risked my sleep-addled mind resisting its call to return from the deep. It had always been difficult to tear myself from the land of dreams, and more so after my life began to feel like a nightmare. But lately, sleep offered little respite.
I pulled on my clothes, brushed my hair so that it was halfway presentable, and poured myself a bowl of oatmeal. It was a gray, soggy pile at the bottom of my bowl. In a flash of unwanted connection, my brain superimposed the image of little melted Sarah onto my field of view. I nearly vomited into my bowl, but just then there was a knock on my door.
“Package,” the deep baritone on the other end intoned.
I opened the door and saw the mailman walking away. It occurred to me that nothing was stopping me from asking him out now that Tim had wandered out of my life. But, immediately, my brain stepped in to fill in the blanks:
Why would he want someone like you?
What the hell is wrong with you?
I don’t even want you and I am you.
These thoughts came as easily as my breath, and I had long since stopped trying to challenge them. In all likelihood, they were right. I picked up the package and saw that it was the grief doll. As soon as I got home from work I’d figure out what the hell I was supposed to do with the thing.
As I stepped into the bathroom, the mirror joined my inner voice in confirming my lack of romantic prospects. Deep, black circles formed rings under my eyes. Deeper wrinkles stood out on my forehead and my double chin and – was that a gray hair? Already? Immediately, the thoughts returned.
You’ll be dead at 50 by this rate.
The world won’t miss you.
Why not make it tomorrow?
Again, these suggestions were difficult to challenge with the evidence inches from my eyes.

It was hard to care about work. Even at the best of times, it hadn’t been the most fulfilling job in the world, but these days my cubicle felt like a tomb. My job was to call people who had filled out negative reviews for the phone company (I’m sure you know which one, but it’s probably best to leave that unsaid) and ask why.
This was a doubly depressing task because it was both neverending and pointless. How many times in the past month have you picked up a call from a number you didn’t recognize? I’m guessing the answer is lower than one. Almost nobody picked up, and those who did invariably did one of two things: hang up instantly upon realizing who I was or scream invective at me that I would hesitate before repeating to the devil himself.
One particularly creative gentleman suggested I fold myself in half seventeen times to create a black hole and then have intercourse with said hole while my company’s headquarters were sucked into the event horizon. Points for creativity. Deductions for misogyny. Although, in fairness to the man, I have no trouble believing he’d have said something similar to a male rep.
That day only two people picked up. One hung up immediately. The other launched into a tirade of such intensity and fervor that I was worried he wouldn’t make it to the end of the call.
“And another thing!” the man shouted as I quietly ate a sandwich on the other end. “Your website looks like it was designed by some rock monkey with shit for brains and feet for hands!” he screamed at me. This was an insult I hadn’t heard before. Variations on it appeared with some regularity, sometimes with racial overtones. I’m not entirely sure why this was, given that I had no accent identifying me as anything other than white, and in fact I wasn’t. The assumption seemed to be that because I worked in customer service I must be Indian. This leap in logic went unquestioned by a surprising number of my conversation partners. The average consumer of cellular services in this country is a few rocks short of an avalanche themself.
“I’m sorry that our services did not meet your quality and reliability expectations,” I said dryly, reading from the part of the script labeled “negative responses.”
“And I’m sorry that you people haven’t gone back to where you come from!” the man shouted.
“I’m from Omaha sir,” I said.
“Where you’re really from!” he shouted back.
“I’m really from Omaha sir,’ I responded tiredly. “And so is my father and his father, and before that we came over from England.” This prompted a string of racial epithets I’d rather not repeat. The rest of the day went like this, and after a while I defaulted to flatly repeating “I'm sorry that our services did not meet your quality and reliability expectations.”
My faith in humanity dimmed with each passing call. I decided to slip out at 4:00. I figured no one would notice. I figured right.

So had a match on tinder. After a bit of texting we agree on date. We go on said date on Thursday, it seemed to go really well well, we had dinner walked for a bit then chatted in the car. She gave me the hints to hold hands so we do and then she brings up going on a second date the following day. The date idea being we go get some groceries and then make dinner at my place and watch a movie. I drop her off at her place. Snuck in a quick kiss which she smiled and then said our goodbyes and she leaned in to kiss me. I get home about twenty minutes later to her text saying she had a great time. I reply in same and tell her I’m looking forward to tomorrow. Friday comes and I reach out about her day and that I’m free after 12 to meetup. She messaged me about work coming up and that once it’s finished she’s let me know with a heart emoji attached. The whole night received nothing back. All good, she got busy. Following day reached out again, no mention of date with picture of me out in sun. She hearts the picture and then lets me know her parents came into town to spend Memorial Day weekend with her. Okay no problem again, have fun. Since she clearly is occupied I spent Sunday doing my own thing and don’t reach out to text. Nothing from her. Today woke up with my cat on me so I sent her a picture which she hearts again and we have a little conversation about our cats. She sends me a picture that someone took of her and her parents on the beach as well. I then mention I got stuff to grill out and if she didn’t have plans she was welcome to come over but no worries either way(I assume parents are still in town). I sent that text around 1000am and have heard nothing back. I don’t feel I am trying to hard but at the same time I feel a text letting me know she had plans would have been better than nothing. We did talk about how we both have issues with seeing texts and forgetting to respond or thinking we did but at this point I don’t know what to do. This is my first time dating in almost 4 years so I am trying my best not to overthink things and not try to rush things. Should I just stop texting and move on at this point?

I (40F) grew up with an abusive father. Verbal. Physical. Emotional. He was quite violent when he was angry and he was bi polar so you never knew when it was coming. Things like randomly hitting us in the head or face or banging our head on the table because he thought we were eating too loud or not listening. Grabbing us by the arm so hard he left bruises. Throwing heavy objects at us, throwing us against the walls or into furniture, and the worst one for me.....he would be angry some mornings (for no reason but he made one up and it was always our fault) and stomp angrily around the house and burst open the door while I was sleeping and violently grab me out of bed and drag me out, throw me on the floor. Usually because I had not cleaned the kitchen well enough the night before or something. He made our mother hit us with a belt too when we were bad if he wasn't too angry because if he did it he "would lose control" he said, and end up beating up a lot. Which did happen. It was a very messed up childhood and I have ptsd and trauma from it and I am estranged from my parents now. My husband knows all of this.
My husband seemed like the sweetest, most sensitive and patient man in the world when I first met him. We fell in love and got married and then his temper slowly came creeping out. It wasn't bad at first, but his yelling and tone of voice has gotten worse and worse over the years. Recently we had our 3rd child and his behaviour has gotten even worse. He never hits me or the kids, but he does scream when he is upset or frustrated or annoyed......which seems pretty often lately. We are getting lack of sleep from the baby being up all night and he turned 40....both things seems to be making the issue worse. His tone of voice is so hateful so often now. We are in marriage counselling and I am in individual therapy too.
A few times now I have been woken up early to my husband screaming at the kids (he gets up with them to get them ready for school since I am up most of the night with the baby and he is up then anyway to go to work, I am on maternity leave currently but typically have a great job that makes very good income on my own). When I wake up to him yelling, I feel my ptsd is triggered and I fly into fight or flight response immediately. My heart races, I feel so stressed, I don’t know what to do but hide and then the very next second it hits me that he is yelling at my kids, and the fear becomes anger and rage in a mamma bear way, I often fly out of the room in attack mode to confront him and protect my kids is what is feels like. I call him out on his inappropriate tone and yelling. I get angry at him. How dare he do this when he knows how much stress it causes. He knows how much it stresses me out and triggers me, he knows it causes me panic attacks, but he says he is not my Dad so it’s unfair of me to act like he is doing the same thing. He says I should not be triggered or get stressed by it. He always has a reason why he is justified in yelling at the kids as they don’t listen well or they were annoying him. Sure I get annoyed sometimes too and everyone can raise their voice if they are frustrated, I have had my moments when I lose it a bit at the kids too, but it’s not often, and I admit I am wrong after and apologize. I am committed to gentle parenting and try really hard to improve daily. He doubles down and says excuses why we deserved to be yelled at.
Today I woke up to him screaming, angrily and in very mean tones, at the kids. He was gritting his teeth, raging, yelling, and my 4 year old was crying. Because he had made a mistake while cleaning up a mess he made and my husband was annoyed. I freaked out. I was crying and shaking in the bathroom. This time I was not able to turn it into anger and confront him. I just cried and cried like I was a scared little girl again. I hated myself for being weak in the moment. I tried to gather strength to fight back but couldn’t. I think it's because we had such a nice day together yesterday and I felt so crushed and betrayed that he chose to act like this this morning. I told him to leave for awhile. I told him I needed him to leave so I could calm down. I kept telling myself “I am safe” but couldn’t feel it while he was still there. He stomped off. I texted him later that he was supposed to make me feel love and safe, but he is actually the one hurting me. He was pissed off that I kicked him out. He then sent me texts informing me that he was going to help out with the kids less and he was clearly annoyed with me. He does not care that he triggered me. He does not care that I was crying and hurt. He said it’s not his fault that I had a shitty childhood. He said he was not my Dad and I am wrong to be upset about him “yelling a bit when the kids are being so bad”. I think that if he really loved me he would want to protect me from feeling this way, even if it’s not his fault.
So AITAH for being triggered by my husbands yelling because it remind me of my abusive Dad?

A local down the road from me is selling it. Don’t know much about drones. Does it sound too good to be true? Anything I should know before I make the purchase? I’m a bit skeptical as it’s priced really low, and when I texted them asking if anything was damaged their answer was “no, the blades haven’t even been put on yet” Thinking it’s either stolen or something..idk

I've been with my partner since my daughter was around 4 years old. She is 24 now. We were finally introduced to two of my partner's siblings who live close by when she was around 6 years old, including his mom. When his mom passed away from cancer, I met his other siblings, of which he has 6, as well as his cousins because they all live in different states. It was at that point my partner decided he would take us to the yearly family reunion when my daughter was 9.
She quickly made friends with a lot of her cousins, and because his family is already pretty tight knit all was going well. There was some drama between the girls sometimes, but when you have 7 girls all within a year of each other in age I guess it makes sense. The older cousins all doted on my daughter like she was a younger sister and her cousins that are all the same age became best friends. I did notice she had a crush on my partner's sister's son, who was 2 years older. It didn't bother me much at the time because they were kids. I even thought it was cute.
However, now things are a bit different. Since around the time my daughter was 19, and my nephew was 21, they have gotten increasingly close. They constantly text, are talking on the phone every day, and my daughter has even gone to visit several him times where he lives. I've told her about how this bothers me, but she brushes me off. She's made offhanded comments that they aren't blood related, and because my partner and I aren't married, I can't even say that they are related by marriage.
I've heard some of their conversations and it sounds completely inappropriate for two cousins to talk the way they do. It's nothing sexual, it's just weird because I don't know anyone who talks to their cousin like that. She doesn't even talk to her other cousins like that. The compliments I've heard them give each other are definitely flirtatious in nature, but when I confront her about it she denies that she is flirting and tells me to stop listening to her conversations.
It's gotten to the point where now when I hear her get home from work, he immediately calls and they're on the phone until one of them falls asleep. When I questioned her about this, she told me they share their location with each other so he knows to call her when she's done with her shift. Again, I don't know a single person who would do that with their cousin. She doesn't even share her location with ME.
I have to admit, I've gone into the call logs through our phone provider and they are constantly calling each other back and forth most days. I've tried telling her he doesn't like her, he's just lonely and bored, but she won't listen. At this point, it's hurting our relationship. She doesn't even seem to want to talk to me anymore.
I'm not sure what to do and any advice would be appreciated. I've brought this up to my partner and he doesn't really say much. I can tell that he finds it annoying now whenever I bring it up. I'm at a loss here.

I always had this weird story I wanted to get off my chest. But until recently I never got a chance to. But anyway, this all happened two years ago one year after my sister died. After I got out of college I needed a place to stay before I could find a job. So I moved back in with my parents.
Now one thing you have to know about my parents is that they own an Airbnb. And they were currently renting my old childhood room to someone who I couldn’t remember what his name was. But anyway I was staying in my recently late sister's old room which had an old pink TV from the 90s if I remember correctly.
Now it felt kinda of sad to see the room was stripped of its girly decor. but the pink TV was still there unplugged. I plugged it in because there was nothing else to do for the day. So I thought that I could watch some reruns of shows I used to watch as a kid to quell the time. So I took out some old VHS tapes including one unlabed from a box hidden under the bed.
But even though I plugged it in and turned it on with the pink remote it would not turn on! I thought that age must have caught up to it so I was a little bummed out. So without anything to do, I went to bed early that day.
As I was sleeping at 3:15 AM I heard the TV bolt-on it woke me up for I was not yet entranced into slumber. And well on the TV, I could see it was playing a video of the room I was in!
But it wasn’t a prerecorded video it was footage of me in that moment Illuminated only by the glow of the TV. I raised my hand and at that moment, the me on the TV raised their hand!
I was a little taken aback by this but when my alarm clock hit 3:16 AM the TV shut off leaving me back in the dark. The rest of the night was Normal.
When I woke up the next as I was eating breakfast with my mom reminiscing about the old days over some eggs and toast. I told my mom about it. She turned to me once pleasant now cold and in a matter-of-fact voice said
“stop making things up Matt!”
Before she then left the kitchen to go talk with my dad in the other room. Now although that was an odd response I felt like she was kinda right. I mean I could have just dreamed it.
But then the next night as I was sleeping at 3:15 AM I heard the TV turn on again. This time however I decided to record this with my phone so I could have some proof about the TV turning on!
But although I was recording it the Phone could not pick up footage of the TV being on! Even when I turned the Lights on there the phone still showed it as if it was not on! Then as the clock struck 3:15 AM. the TV turned off. So now even more confused than before I turned the TV off and went to bed.
The next day I got out of bed and walked in on my parents talking about the person who was in my room Airbnbing saying odd things like how Cubbey he is and how they need better supplies. But when they saw me they quickly changed the subject and asked how I was doing!
I was going to bring up the TV again but remembered that my mom was upset at me for bringing it up so I decided to keep my mouth shut! After that, I spent most of the day job searching on my laptop. Then at night, I decided to wait for it to become 3:15. And once it did instead of being greeted by the sight of my room. I saw text appear on the TV!
“Matt is that you?”
I was taken aback by this because how could the TV know my name? But I replied.
“Umm yes.”
The TV took a moment to respond before saying.
“Are you okay?”
I was confused but said.
“Yes, I think I am?”
The TV said back to me!
“Could you do something for me?”
I asked back.
“What?”
But by then it was 3:16 so the TV was cut off before it could answer! So once again I was left in the dark with more questions than before. Like how does it know my name, and what does it want?”
But knowing that I’ll have to wait for tomorrow I went to sleep. After waking up the next day I noticed that my Parents seem to not be fully awake! So I asked them what they were up to. My dad told me they were taking care of the Airbnb guy last night before my mom glared at him and he shut up!
My mom then asked me!
“So when are you moving out son?”
I was taken aback by this! And asked her concernedly!
“Why?”
My mom then told me in a tired but calm voice!
“Because we will need your room for another client!”
I was a little bit annoyed by this because I had not found a job yet and also wanted to find out more from the TV. So I told them.
“I’m not quite sure yet, to be honest!”
So she told me.
“At the end of the week okay!”
Now because of this deadline, I called a friend who lived a few miles from town to ask if I could stay over till I find a job! They were super chill and said,
“yeah for as long as you want.”
So for the rest of the day, I packed up some of my things. But unfortunately, because I did not have the strength to finish packing I decided to wait until morning to finish packing. So I went to bed.
At 3:15 the TV turned on I saw the text again saying
“Are you awake Matt?”
I exhaustedly said back.
“Yeah.”
The TV then said to me
“Remember how I said I wanted you to do something for me?”
I said back with a bit more energy.
“Yeah, what is it?”
The TV then asked me.
“Could you take the unlabeled VHS tape and show it to someone anyone but our parents!”
At that moment when I read “our parents” something just occurred to me. Who is using this TV to talk to me? I then asked the TV one more question.
“Who are you?”
The TV then said to me.
“You don’t remember me!”
It then cut to the video of the same room with me in it only this time it was different! For hanging above me was my sister! She hung like the night she died by what we thought was suicide! She is now above me dead as she was found by my parents!
I just screamed!
I must have awoken my parents for they were the only ones that came for me! And they were the only ones in that house who heard me scream. They ran into my room yelling.
“Matt, what’s wrong?”
I pointed at the TV showing my dead sister on it they should have seen it! But they didn’t. Instead, they just said to me now angry.
“Why are you screaming at your sister’s old TV it’s not even on!”
They then started to lecture me about how I disturbed them for no reason. But I could not pay attention because the tv was now telling me something.
“If you don’t leave now you’ll end up like me!”
After my parents unplugged the TV and took it out of the room. I now completely unable to fall asleep decided that this was a warning to get out now! So I finished packing up my things and then I remembered to take the unlabeled VHS tape so I grabbed that too.
And ran out of the house to take the nearest bus to my friend’s house! As I was running to the bus stop could see my parents walk into my room holding some rope.
Luckily I got to my bus in time so for the next few weeks I and my friend would reminisce about our youths and life in general! As I would try to find a job. But then at the beginning of the next week. As I was sleeping my friend woke me up! I asked him.
“Why did you wake me up?”
my friend told me very concerned!
“You the police are here and they want you!”
I was taken aback by this because why would the police want me? But I got out of bed and went to talk with them. One of the officers said to me!
“Are you Matt?”
I told the officer.
“Yes, I am!”
Then the other officer told me.
“We’re here to tell you about your parents!”
I was relieved that it wasn’t me they wanted but concerned as to what they were telling me about my parents. So I asked.
“What for?”
The officer then explained that the guy who was Airbnbing at my parent's house was missing and that they wanted me to tell them what happened at their house when he disappeared! As they were telling me that I thought of the unlabeled VHS tape. Something was telling me to play it.
So I asked the officers if I could do something real quick. So I got the VHS out from my backpack and put it in my friend's old VSR. and for a majored of the tape, it was just old nostalgic memories of me and my sister playing.
It was honestly hard to watch knowing what happened to her!
Then near the end of it, I saw an odd part it showed her with a distressed look and tone on the night she supposedly killed herself! She was talking into it saying.
“Hello if anyone was watching this I am going to be found dead, I just want you all to know that the people who are about to kill me are my parents! If you find this, please tell anyone that their Airbnb business is a disguise for them to murder their clients”
Oh my god, I thought they killed her. Then I remembered that my parents had gone back to my room with a rope. That just made me feel even worse!
Then the tape cuts to a scene of my sister struggling to get herself free from a noose as my Mom berated her calling her a little rat! As my dad was writing the suicide note that we found near her dead body!
She struggled from 3:15 tile she died at 3:16!

Just that, I learned all of Hiragana and Katakana fairly easy and, that was the easiest part since it had a simple goal.
My issue is Vocabulary mainly at the moment. I just don't know what to learn. I've tried Anki, I put every word I encounter frequently within it (I have a japanese language partner and, I've just noted words she texts a lot).
Outside of that I tried pre-made decks but, found them overwhelming + lots of the words didn't feel immediately necessary i.e why is "Police Officer" one of the first words I should know?
I digress I guess I'll need to know it eventually so why not. Isssue is the word doesn't stick. I know maybe 50 words after 3 weeks and that feels very slow. To be clear this is with atleast an hour a day which in practice is way more since there's days where I study for 4-6 hours. The only words that have stuck too me are super basic like "私””僕””居“今日” and the longest being "なるほど" since "I see" seems to be a common thing to say I guess. Anything longer I fall apart, I even struggle with "なるほど" even if I've seen it and heard it many times.
I've tried apps but, those aren't as helpful either since it gamifys it and, I can infer the answers without really knowing it (not trying to cheat it's just a natural thing with my brain i.e making a sentence with pre made blocks the longer word is obviously the middle for example even if I don't know how to spell it myself)
Immersion is also something I simply don't understand, how can I immerse if I don't know anything? I listen to Japanese songs as my main immersion at the momment and, I honestly can not pick up on the different words besides really obvious ones like "Watsashi" and thats the only thing I can even think of off the top of my head.
I do plan on trying something like "Animal Crossing" because I figure that has lots of real world things and, after a while I'm bound to memorize it but, I did boot up the game and immediately got frustrated since well I barely know 50 words so that was probably to early of an endevor for me. But that just brings me back to not understanding how to immerse if I don't know anything.
What am I doing wrong? What can I do to improve? This is an issue with every language I've tried I just get stuck trying to actually learn vocabulary. I've learned particles, I can recognize the Kanji of the few words I do know but, I feel super slow.

Okay, this is gonna be a hard one to explain. I've known this person for a few years and we're very close friends. Neither of us have many other friends, but as far as I know I'm pretty much their only friend. We bonded over both being trans in a shitty school environment and had a lot in common, and at first the relationship felt really nice and healthy. We both struggle a lot with our mental health and while at first it seemed like we were supporting each other through it, it's started to feel like this friendship is making things worse for us. If I had to guess at what's happening, I'd say it's likely that my friend has BPD and has started to view me as their 'favorite person'. I am not a professional and 100% not trying to diagnose them, but I wanted to mention this to help contextualise the situation.
Essentially: I started to feel like they're too dependent on me and it's led to a power imbalance in the friendship that makes me incredibly uncomfortable. Pretty much everything I do - clubs, activities, etc - they do too, and even their hobbies and interests mimic mine, down to exact music taste. When I'm around other people with them and chat to other people, or interact with other friends, they become withdrawn and angry at me. Because of this, in the spaces I share with them I basically don't have any other friends.
They constantly text me to ask me what I'm doing and get angry when I don't provide detailed enough answers, they aplogise *constantly* (and this I understand! I struggle with anxiety too and try to reassure them that they've done nothing wrong, but when it gets hard for me is when I, like, don't respond to a message quickly enough and then suddenly am reading three paragraphs of "I'm a terrible fucking person, I'm sorry I burden you with me, etc". I hate having so much power over someone's self worth.), if I ask them to do literally anything with me they'll say yes, even if they don't actually want to do the thing. These kinds of things are really hard to explain, because in theory some of them are just traits of a good friend, right? But the way they do it feels so oppressive and overwhelming and sometimes even manipulative. I guess another part of it is I just don't feel as strongly towards them as they do towards me, and I feel guilty about that but it's realistically not something that's gonna change.
Another aspect of this is social media. I have a kind of anonymous twitter account that I'd mentioned to them once or twice, but when they asked for it I casually said I preferred not to share it. They then went through the followers of an account I'd mentioned following, to find my account and followed me. They've since apologised for this, but it didn't end there. When they created an account, they started it by literally just following everyone I did. Their account looked like a carbon copy of mine for a while because they were literally retweeting everything I did, liking everything I liked, etc. They were literally stalking my account, and it made me uncomfortable so I blocked them. They then alts to keep doing this, once even tried to start a conversation with me. Even now - their bios literally have phrases stolen straight from mine.
This is kinda where my shitty behaviour comes in. I find the copying unbearable and it makes me so incredibly angry, and the worst part is that so much of it is so intangible. Like I'll vent about my mental health, and then suddenly whatever I vented about is a problem they have too, repeated back to me verbatim. It isn't just a normal level of copying, it's constant, and it's making me lose my shit. It reaches to literally everything, and I have no justification for how angry it makes me but I do think it's made the relationship unhealthy. Beyond this, I think I hold an unintentionally manipulative power over them, but I also think that maybe I'm being a horrible person on purpose sometimes. If I get angry at them, I know exactly what'll make them feel shitty, and sometimes I... say those things? It sounds awful because it is, and while I don't think it's gotten that bad yet I also don't want to risk it becoming worse. Another thing is I've grown terrified of them entering my other social environments/spaces and meeting my other friends, or joining orgs I'm in (we're both activists), or anything like that. Literally terrified. I've tried to gatekeep things I have no right to be gatekeeping just because I'm scared shitless of losing the few spaces I have without them. I hate the thought of my other friends meeting them, and I don't even know why or where this stems from. And this has made me lash out at them and worsened that anger, and I think all of this means I've genuinely grown to hate them. I know that I am not a good person in this situation, and I don't think I have the maturity or strength to actually fix that, but I do have enough to recognise it and want to withdraw before I cause harm.
So that brings us to the final issue, which is that I really do think they're completely dependent on me, and I'm worried if I end the friendship they'll attempt suicide. Before, they've used this as a guilt trip - and they aren't explicit about it, so maybe I'm just going insane, or at least that's how it feels. But if we argue, or if I bring up something they've done that's frustrated me, they'll hint afterwards at being suicidal or having come very close to suicide. They've said they wouldn't be able to live without me, that kinda thing. I'm empathetic towards them, obviously, and I would never want that to happen to them. I get that this isn't a black and white situation, but to be honest I don't think their relationship with me is good for them either.
TL;DR - I feel trapped in a relationship that's become manipulative from both sides because of my friend's attachment to me, I think I'm becoming a bad person because of it but I don't know how to get out of it because the relationship's so intense and I'm worried my friend might kill themself. I'm open to advice on either how to get out of this situation, or how to temporarily make it healthier and less harmful until I can.

I’m only 21 days free(ish).. but on the brink of falling for it again. I was so happy and proud and felt like this time was it. I’ve tried quitting 8 times already.. but yesterday a friend invited me and family and another family out for a picnic and when the new family came, we instantly bonded. Our kids were same age and everyone liked everyone till the mom took out her pack of cigarettes!!! I felt butterflies in my tummy! It was a mix of doom and excitement. After an hour of hanging out I asked her if I could bum a smoke off of her.. and I did. We exchanged numbers as plan on taking kids out together on a play date.. I just texted her and I’m so excited for the opportunity to smoke a cigarette. I mean I can just go buy the damn thing if I want to but I don’t want to. I am so close to getting a vape as I prefer vape over cigarettes… I hate the smell of cigarettes and having to be outside to smoke. But vape is like machine gunning nicotine into your system and I don’t want to but I can’t stop thinking about it.
Help!

My husband recently took a new job that moved him to overnight shifts while I am still working days. This leads to a TON of alone time, which I struggle with. I’d love to find some new friends to chat with!!
About me:
29, very much a “country” girl. I love reading, anything outdoors like swimming/camping/fishing (we own a camper, so it’s up to you to decide if that still counts lol) I’ve been married for 6 years and have a 5 year old who’s enjoying his last summer before kindergarten 😂
I’m usually pretty active throughout the day!
About you:
Can be M or F! I usually get along with men better due to my hobby and working in the office for a construction company. You learn pretty quickly that sometimes it’s easier to have male friends 😂
I would prefer if you at least be North America based, but US would be extra special! Looking for someone who is generally pretty active. I know we won’t talk 24/7, but good morning and goodnight texts, casual chatting through the day, maybe a daily catch up in the afternoons would be perfect for me.
I’m not looking to talk on Snapchat, telegram, whatever else. If I was, I’d make a post there 🤷‍♀️
I’m okay with exchanging selfies/pictures early on so we can put faces to names as well!!
If you think we can hit it off, send me your age, gender, location and your favorite color! If you don’t include that, I’m not going to bother answering to save myself time and trouble :/

I try to make sure she’s awake on time everyday, I don’t even live in her country, I text her to make sure she’s up for work, because if I don’t , and she oversleeps and ends up being late, she breaks down, hates herself , and wants to hurt herself..
She wants to do that a lot, but her being late for work always triggers it . Today she was late for work, and told me she wants to relapse, feels useless.. worthless, and that she needs to.. she wants to.. and I just sat there on the other End of the phone listening to her talk about it..
Of course I told her not to, I asked her not to, told her there were reasons not to do it,I begged and did please over and over.. she told me doing it wouldn’t change anything, she told me not to worry but I get panic levels terrified everytime she’s even close to doing it..
I sounded so pathetic, pleading for her no to do it, but I can’t do anything else, she wants to talk about useless people, I’m useless i can’t do anything to stop it .. all. I can do is ask her not to..
She hasn’t done it yet she had to start work.. but I’m so to my stomach , I can’t breathe right and the whole thing made me star thinking things to..but how selfish is that.. what a hypocrite that makes me..
I’ll have to talk to her again tonight and I’m worried I’ll just have to sit there and watch her do it to herself.. then deal with the aftermath. ..
