Assalamualaikum
I was playing a game wiith a friend when my dad walked in and started to ask me "I like yhe uni work your doing" pointing at the game being all buddy buddy. He then proceeds to lecture me abt how I always play games even tho I don't, especially now since uni has kept me busy (I've only been playing like the past week) and he just rambled on and on abt how I should learn arabic to "be smarter" cause he thinks me learning arabic would somehow make me more islamically smarter even tho it won't to some degree. He also rambled abt how he listens to lectures and stuff and I simply couldn't talk to him cause everytime I tried, he'd just cut me off and deflect or pretend like he heard nothing and it's really annoying so I just sat there listening. Some things he says is correct and there are some things he says which are simply flawed. He even swore at me as an "example" of how normal swearing is and I asked him "why should I care if other ppl swear, if I don't swear myself?" (I dont swear at all and find it disgusting whenever i swear in my head, but idc if others swear) And he ignored me and I started to lose braincells. He wants me to be more islamically smart which I agree with but he doesn't want to teach or guide me shit. It's like telling a kid to learn how to play a game without teaching him first cause he just says to "just learn of your phone, it's all on the internet" and just leaving it at that. I would just do this, but he tends to ask stuff that I don't know abt then somehow expects me to know something I'm hearing for the first time. He asked me what "fege" means in islam and since I couldn't fond the answer online, I asked him and he said it was Islamic law, which is mainly called "fiqh" which I knew abt but didn't know the specific name/term that he used, and he ends up flaming me for not knowing and stuff. There was another definition, but I forgot. I tried to reason with him but he just doesn't listen, I asked him if I was smarter, would he learn from me abt something he doesn't know abt and he was like "whatever you know, I already know" 😑. Anyways, I also called him out on the swearing part and I was like, "if the prophet was here, he wouldn't swear like that even if it's for an 'example' cause that's just dumb". He standardised 16-18 years old leaving their parents to live by himself based on "white people" and told me that he was expecting me to do the same if I didn't wanna listen to what he said(not to stay awake late and to never play games again), he'd never come to a compromise cause he's way tooooooo stubborn and rambled on abt how he could live by himself and some other bs. I couldn't hold it in so I wrote all this cause it's nice to share and get it off my chest cause as im typing this, I'm litterally crying lol. Even as a child, I'd rather of gotten physically hit the emotionally dmg by my dad and it really does shit to my brain. Talking to him is like talking a brick wall, he'd never listen and idk what to do abt it. Imo I just gotta live it out and hope I can some day move out ig. There's more stuff but I don't wanna deep it too much 😔. Regardless of what he says to me, I was already gonna try be more islamically smart, not to prove myself to him, but for my own sake of learning for this world and the hereafter.
Crazy long rant, my mental state is probably at my lowest rn, i dont really expect this to get much attention or responsed, but if your bothered enough to read it, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated... jazakallah

I was going to maybe flair as DD but this is tea leaf reading at best.
So seems like everyone has been trying to decipher what the hell DFV has been posting on his Roaring Kitty X account. I did a deep dive into his videos and found some definitive evidence of some things, while a little more tinfoil hat guesses as to what the man is planning. So here we go.
1 He says this play will take weeks to come to fruition. In his video he provides a timeline. So we have a clear timeline of what the opportunity is.
2 He definitely has something related to crypto in mind. In one of his videos he inserts the ethereum symbol (about the 35 second mark) As much as the graphics look normal, if you check out the original video (I have) the graphics aren’t there. He does this periodically in his videos adding own special effects so it was clearing intentional.
https://x.com/theroaringkitty/status/1790087112282239085?s=46
Additionally, in the video below, he talks about idiots being good at paperwork. Crypto Bros are often seen as regarded. Is he alluding to finding something in the ETF applications for ethereum that are set to be decided in the next week? This also fell in line with the rough timeline in his intro videos of it taking weeks.
https://x.com/theroaringkitty/status/1790434400494116873?s=46
3 the play is something he’s bullish (long) on as opposed to bearish (short). He posted various videos referencing and bashing bears.
https://x.com/theroaringkitty/status/1790404203715887238?s=46
4 Theres a recurring theme of blood. Is he referencing a specific crypto/market? I’ll give my own tinfoil hat theory on this at the bottom. Or is he out for blood.
https://x.com/theroaringkitty/status/1790056912664601031?s=46
5 He is still a fan of his old play. He has the symbol through various videos and uses a clip of Easy A movie where Emma Stone wears her scarlet letter proudly as opposed to with sham as done in the historical context of the original book. He edits the video to be the symbol that she’s wearing.
https://x.com/theroaringkitty/status/1790713748866371690?s=46
https://x.com/theroaringkitty/status/1790717515523658119?s=46 possible ethereum symbol overlay
6 somehow Blockbuster is in play here. Not sure the historical significance of how the stock traded or maybe there was something irregular that went on with blockbuster at some point but in this tweet he shows the grim reaper going through doors and leaving a trail of blood. However, I can’t make out the other two door symbols, but blockbuster door before doesn’t have any blood under it despite being open. Again, another overture of blood.
https://x.com/theroaringkitty/status/1790721293089964126?s=46
7 He indicates he’s in on a crypto meme.
https://x.com/theroaringkitty/status/1790747714440892825?s=46
The clip could be taken two ways. One, he’s not in a crypto play but a meme (stock) or two he’s in a crypto meme. I’m leaning towards the second option due to the Ethereum symbol’s multiple reoccurrences in his videos.
So that’s all I’ve been able to surmise so far. And here’s what I think he’s doing from most likely to least likely:

1. Making a play with ethereum ETF approval. Not sure how to make money on this in a traditional markets setting other than buying ethereum or longing ethereum.

1a. He is back in on a (bullish) gaming stock play again. Most likely a different angle but the same result - “much higher”
2 He is playing some sort of quasi crypto play. Is a company adding ethereum to its balance sheet similar to MSTR? If so, who? I still feel there is something to the blockbuster reference but I was not involved in the markets when it met its demise. MSTR skyrockets in crypto bull market and an early entrant into deep otm calls cheap could make a killing in that scenario. MSTR provided the framework for a company looking to capitalize on positive crypto bullishness.
3 He is investing in the memecoins Pepe, Bobo and Dodo. Yea this is probably a six degrees of Kevin bacon type of leap but the evidence I have is:
He makes references to 4chan. Pepe Bobo and Dodo are all 4chan meme coins on ethereum. He’s made several references to ethereum. Pepe is a green glob and DFV randomly has characters in his videos be green. He talks a lot about bears. Bobo is a bear. Most likely he’s just referencing a bear as in bearish investors, but he talks a lot about bears. Lastly Dodo, he makes a lot of references to blood and favorite color where the word color is in red. Dodo is a black swan but its emojis are 🩸 🦢 and would fall in line with this analysis.
At the end of the day who knows what he’s doing and who knows if it matters. It’ll be crazy if I’m close in any of this. Best of luck and fuck BABA for not hitting $85 before my banbet last week. I wasn’t wrong, I was just early.

I have this fantasy, y'know. of having some sort of secret admirer. maybe a stranger, maybe a friend. he would just slowly get to learn things about me and I would grow into his heart like that. no sexual motivations, no interest in getting to know me so they can manipulate me into their laps. one day, he knows my favorite color, the names of my cats, he knows what I do when I'm alone and what I doodle when I'm bored and he just realizes he might be in love with me.
I think my wish is to be loved the way I love. everytime, it happened like this. like when I overheard a guy tell his friend he learned to crochet with his granny and when I talked to his friends he made sure I was being heard despite being a quiet talker and I've been heart-eyeing from afar ever since. or the one who was an acquaintance to my acquaintance, sat next to him and cracked jokes non-stop and I couldn't stop smiling. he told us about his mom, his dad, his brother and sister, about his childhood mischief. he made weird, nonsensical and off-putting questions and jokes but I would just feel so happy when he looked my way first to check if I was having fun. and then I had to fight every cell in my body to not follow his around like a puppy just so I know a little more, spend some time more around him. of course I'll see a guy pass by me and think "oh, he's cute" but it's a fleeting thought, not even close to infatuation.
I wish I could have someone to like me like this. not like just some piece of meat served on a plate, you eat away and throw the bones and the skin off once you had what you want. it feel so fucking impossible. it seems like too little men can even differentiate love and lust. have you seen how they talk about us? what they think of us? incels say women only care about looks and if you're not on the best half of the bunch you're not even acknoledged by women, and all women go after some weird ideal man who looks like this and that. hasn't it been historically the exact opposite? seriously, how many men do you know have married someone uglier than them in opposition to someone more good-looking?
for the vast majority of men is all about the sex, the looks. it's all about mentally ill pussy feels the best. it's all about having the old guy having the barely legal girl not because he likes her but because she's barely legal and thus better than any woman his own age or a bit older. it's about the male fantasy of the hot, servile latina/black wife, the male fantasy of the submissive and impressionable asian girlfriend, the innocent virginal blonde, the sensual redhead. this is all projection. after they're done crying about how they're not 6'0 or whatever, turn around and moan about how fucking disgusting would be existing next to a fat woman. if feels so incredibly gross to be in their circles and see what they say.
and I guess that's where I fucking enter. I look and act good enough to fulfill a male fantasy. sure, I guess I could go and pick a random to hook up with me. he will eventually get bored of the novelty, realize I'm not a sex toy and they don't actually like anything about me but sexual favors. suddenly I'm used goods.
at the same time, this is all there's left for me. because the good ones, the ones who care, the ones who are respectful and interested, don't want me. maybe I'm just not interesting enough, maybe I'm just too fucking broken to be deserving of being loved and love back. they have better options, because they always do. god, when was the last time a guy sat next to me and asked about me? not my name or year. me. I can't recall.
I crave love so bad it crawls under my skin, it enters the pores in my bones, between the cells of my muscles, it runs my faces. I feel it with my whole body, I track the smallest sign of love like a hungry dog in everywhere I go, in everything I hear and see. I lay down and let my mind wander to the phantom sensation of a body over mine. my hand running on soft locks of hair, counting freckels and tracing marks, running my thumbs on dark circles. I dream of being clingy and affectionate and it's not annoying or something I should be ashamed of. I dream of movie dates where the movie actually matter, back rubs, gift exchanging. I dream of cooking something good and seeing eyes light up. I dream of hugging the hurt away after an argument. I dream of getting along with his family and him getting along with mine. I dream of a running toddler giggling their way to our bed. I dream of sitting down with a heavy photo album, reminiscing as we turn pages.
and then I realize all there's gonna be for me is being a male fantasy. something flimsy, fragile and bound to end. a toy you get for christmas and by easter it's in a donation box. someone to practice on before they find the one they want. that's all people like me get. and if I gain some pounds, cut my hair and stop giving so much attention to my acne and body hair, trying so hard to be funny and agreeable, probably not even that. ha.

Long story short, due to bad habits in wfh and a cluster of bad situations at work causing whole team to be overworked and stressed. I got acute lower back pain along with an overacting nervous system.
I've never had this before but I could notice something wrong from a couple of weeks back when on my usual Saturday morning coffee run, I can still feel my nervous system going full bolt like as if it was middle of a working week day.
The last week things god pretty bad and I had to take a week off work. Even started to have small panic attacks.
I had to double down on my practice just to keep relaxed, but the mind was in overload and it was a tough battle that I didn't come out on top on a few sessions. Meaning the usual Shamatha techniques like breathwork and being mindfull weren't working as I couldn't shutdown the mind and or the nervous energy in the body.
Lucky with some light exercise, yoga and more practice it seems to have chilled out now and I'm feeling back to normal.
To not lose an important lesson here. So even if you have a stable practice and can relax the mind and body after a stressfull day, the stress accumulated during the day doesn't just go away and It takes a toll on the body, especially when this goes on for months/years. Also my practice should have involved addressing symptoms which caused the stress and be able to apply the antidotes during the day and not just after work during the evenings.
Anyone experience anything similar here keen to share their story?

CW: Mention of self-h, a-bus
A close colleague is on administrative leave while under investigation over claims made directly after reprimanding a student for disruption and violating the school honor code. Some claims have merit (self-h*rm comments, mention of firearms ownership as a hunter), and others baseless (inappropriate comments about female students' appearances, comments threatening harm upon students). He's had a visibly rough second semester due to outside factors, involving personal deaths and dealing with abuses at home, and has since let his classroom management deteriorate.
Unfortunately, I've seen how a majority of his students use his weakened state as an opportunity to walk all over him; they violating district policies, disrespect him, and now it's come to a head. Last week, he decided to put his foot down for the first time in the semester, and told two girls (habitual problem-starters and EXTREMELY pampered), informing them that he would change their seats if they continued to talk over him. The worst of the two was also caught that day plagiarizing one of his assignments and reprimanded, though not reported as he felt it appropriate to let her off with a warning.
The next day, Friday, he was called to the office before his 3rd block classes. He said his AP was approached by two girls who reported feeling uncomfortable due to things he would say in class, such as overshare his mental state through making jabs at self-h*rming himself (which I've heard him do in the workroom, as well, the sort of "this makes me wanna just _____" comments not unusual to hear as a response to high stress and depression), to which he said his AP (and mine, she's incredibly supportive of teachers, though hopefully not just vocally) was sympathetic. She recommended he set up an appointment with the employee assistance program and possibly seek counseling, to which he agreed. The next items regarded a story he often shares about meeting his neighbor through hunting weapons (we live in a sub-rural area where hunting is a prolific topic), supposedly threatening to "bash a kid's head into a brick wall" in response to the plagiarism earlier mentioned, when he admitted he said he said that about his own head, something he's said a lot before. Lastly, he was accused of making inappropriate comments regarding female students' appearances, which no one can substantiate, and it seems this was featured because "male teacher = g-word" seems like a free space to claim.
He's rightfully freaked out, as am I, because we both teach very similarly and with the same style, with a sort of "big brother" vibe that's never been a problem, but rather very appreciated by both parents and students alike. He did mention how the admin made a big point about "saying things which could get misconstrued", but he said she was very stern but understanding in her demeanor, even sharing her experience in mourning and still showing up for school as a way to cope. He also said she talked extensively about having "healthy teachers in the classroom", which I believe is code for "we're going to make sure you're just in mourning and not actually going to do anything permanent". We're both on our fourth year of teaching, and our state uses the "continuing contract" system, so we're both unsure how tenure works or if there's protections at all in this state.
Does he have cause to worry for his livelihood, or is this a common, albeit brutal, occurrence for teachers today? I don't think he's registered with the state representation (we're in Virginia), as most of us newer teachers still don't have much wiggle room to afford many biweekly deductions, but I'm nervously optimistic. I'm asking this for my benefit as well, as we teach very similarly to one another, and the last thing I want is for a Children of the Corn situation to arise after.... well, trying to maintain classroom order in any way. Needless to say, this alone is taking the wind out of my sails in regards to continuing in this field, which I loved before this year, and I know for a fact he's having second thoughts, more so, probably.
Tl;dr: Colleague on continuing contract is on administrative leave pending an investigation due to comments made after he reprimanded two students for disruption and honor code violation. Seems retaliatory, though he and I are worried for his future in teaching.

I work for a SaaS startup. I have a great relationship with my manager. We are looking to re-organize our team, with me taking over a section of the team with a director level position.
We also just hired another outside individual on the team for a director level position. This is in line with what I understand the plan to be, with someone taking over half the team and me the other half.
But I feel it's been a bit slow moving with my promotion and this re-org. So I am going to express some frustration to my boss.
But then a wrench has been thrown into things - someone I had worked for previously referred me for a position at another company. This position would come with more ownership and leadership than my current role, and the VP (who would be my boss) basically asked me "what will it take to pull you from your current company." They also mentioned they want to move quickly.
I'm going to tell them that I want the title to be a director level title (instead of Lead.) And even though I wouldn't have anybody reporting to me immediately, it would show a commitment to grow the team in the future.
I'm not sure how to approach this with my current manager. The pay for the director level role at my current job would be a decent amount better than my expected pay with the new job. And I think I'd rather stay with my current company. When is the right time to bring up this new opportunity with my manager?

Hello everyone,
I've been dealing with strong acute tonsil infections several times a year for several years. Since about six months ago, these acute infections have subsided, but now I have a latent infection. My tonsils are very irritated, especially in the mornings and evenings. Sometimes my lymph nodes swell, and exercising can make the irritation worse—it's like drinking spiced water, you can really feel your tonsils.
The pain isn't severe, but it's always there, making me constantly aware of the irritation. About a month ago, I had a really bad two-week episode of tonsil pain, but then it went away again.
I have a surgery appointment to get my tonsils removed, but I'm really unsure about it. The surgeon has tried to convince me not to go through with it, and I've already been to the hospital twice and canceled another two times. They've told me all sorts of scary things to make me want to avoid the surgery.
I'm conflicted. I could live with this mild ache and the thought that I'm too scared for the surgery. I could endure 2 to 4 weeks of intense pain a few times a year. But I'm scared of the surgery and I don't know if I should go through with it.
I'm not a severe case, but I've had several infections over the past three years, with the last one and a half years being particularly tough. It's gotten better, and I can live a somewhat normal life again. But this constant throat irritation, the feeling of my tonsils being irritated, and the low-level pain—I don't know if I should accept this for the rest of my life.
I'm really confused... 😭
Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

So the thing is I currently feel so lost in life. Okay I get it sabai jana le its completely normal vancha tara I guess kasto atti nai lost jasto feel huncha. Bachelors sakisakyo , I am also doing internship currently and yes I got that internship after proper examinations and interview processes and I'm also busy in office as well tara apart from that I feel so lost that if I wanna pursue that thing in future or not , I am still not sure what to do apart of trying out different things.
Taking about my percentages , I guess its fine and somehow I've maintained it 75% above. It feels like 4 barsa pachi ekaichoti kata naya thau ma faldera lu afai sabai figure out gar vaneko jasto pressurize ni hune. Some friends and doing GRE etc k k ho ani ma ni baira jane ta sochiraxu but financial condition le idk if I can afford it immediately tara jane chai socheko ho but not sure maybe I'll end up Nepal mai ?
Some figure out their life at 18 some figure out their life at 20 some at their 30's and so on sab ko afno afno time huncha vancha , but like this I feel like mata k garne k garne testo specific interest vanne ni chaina so that I can dig dive into that and make whole career in that field. Tei vayera kei garnei man lagdeina , tesmathi alchi ni vaiyo jhan ani tei kasto loop ma faseko jasto lagnee hau.
Ma matrai ho ra esto ? Recently 4th year exam diyera baseko k gardeii chau guyss ?

Carrying a wardrobe out of the front door, I say to my 70yo dad to mind the step and a piece of wood I put over it to protect the sill.
Audiably said "I know where I'm going, I've got my boots on, I just want mum to move out of the way behind me."
She defo heard me, I wasn't speaking quietly and she almost always invades my personal space.
Start walking backwards with the full weight of this cupboard and I feel something warm and handlike come around the side of my waist, which to me feels worse than say putting my hands in raw sewage. Touch is reserved for my lover only, and as I don't have one at present, nobody touches me as it's an intimate action in my head.
So I say "Wow, whats that? What are you doing? Don't touch me? Why are you there? If I'm walking backwards I need you to get out of the way, not touch me! Don't touch me! How many times do I have to tell you?! If I walk back and elbow you in the face because you're in the way, you've only yourself to blame"
Which my mum takes great offence to, saying "I was only trying to warn you of the step there so you didn't trip"
Me: "Course I know there's a step, I've lived here for over a year now! I just told my dad to watch his footing, it's on my mind, don't touch me, just get out of the way"
Which then gets the dramatic pause she always leaves before storming off and shouting, so as I was already triggered the impulsive verbage continued.
Me: "Now's the time you storm off and slam doors, or get in the car and wheelspin down the road, go on, I expect it"
And she does, exactly that. Then I get my dad coming in as the white knight telling me I've started an argument, as he is expected to stick up for my mum no matter what, she even gets him out of other rooms to triangulate on me.
Like, I know I was impulsive in what I said, but I feel justified because I have said so many times not to touch me, yet she stands in the way all the time, invades my personal space, and thinks if her intention is care when she touches me, everything will be ok. She does not respect my boundaries, and can never see anyone else's side, always blaming anyone but herself and will right fight until someone taps out which is usually me as she gets my dad involved. Not to mention I didn't sleep at all last night so I'm a little more reactive.
Seriously, am I the Asshole? I see her side of things, but just because she thinks it's ok to touch me doesn't mean it IS ok to touch me, especially after I've asked many times to not be touched. I'm pretty sure she is where I get the conditions from, but she had no interest in medication, psychology or anything of the sort. Occasionally saying she might have the same conditions as an excuse, which I say "Cool, well what are you doing about it?" She won't even read about the conditions to see why her interactions with me keep going wrong.

Burner account…. Im 24, and there are certain things I want out of life, a wife, family, kids… only problem is, I’m very very minimally sexually attracted to women, but fully romantically attracted to them. On the flip side, the idea of being in a romantic relationship with a man disgusts me to my core, but yet I’m sexually attacted to them. I feel as if this situation destroys my chances of living the life I want to live. I have a masculine personality and most folks assume I’m straight, it’s what I prefer to tell people anyway. But no one who isn’t gay or reflects gay or feminine traits wants to be that way in the first place. I’m afraid I’ll never actually be happy. Maybe despite my desire for a wife and kids and that type of life, it would be easier for me to be fully gay, but it’d never work… because outside of sexuality, I have zero desire to spend my life with another man, and everyone I’ve been romantically attracted to has been women, but as mentioned before. I’m afraid a relationship with a woman will never work for me because I’m not sexually attracted to them for the most part, hell during sex I kinda have to force myself in a lot of ways to maintain a sexual attraction, which is more effort than I’d like to let on. I feel stuck and not sure what to do about it.

Hello! I am in a long term relationship with Apple but have been seeing Birch for a few weeks. We are a V and I am the hinge. I went away with Apple to the beach for a few days and one of the days Birch came over and we had drinks and I slept with Birch in their bed (preplanned).
A few weeks after this Apple said to me that he wouldn't be comfortable drinking with Birch again because they thought that Birch had intentionally made them a very strong drink to 'knock Apple out' and therefore sleep with me sooner. Apple has a relatively good alcohol tolerance and he says he had this drink then felt really drunk really quickly and passed out. I didn't think about it at the time but I did try a bit of Apples drink that Birch made and it was pretty strong.
So I was very concerned about this and I told Birch that the drink they made Apple was too strong for them and Apple wasn't sure if they'd be comfortable drinking again so if they still wanted to hang out with Apple (and I specifically said zero pressure to see him again at all etc) could they make a weaker drink next time?
Birch apologised straight away and said they still wanted to hang out with Apple but wouldn't mix drinks.
So I told Apple about this and they were really upset with me and said they felt really betrayed and even thought they didn't say that the conversation was confidential that it was implied. We talked about it for a fair while and sort of worked it out but Apple is still really mad at me and says they don't know if they can be open with me again if I'm going to go off and tell other people things they meant to be private. They said it made them feel really anxious and it will affect their relationship with Birch and they'll feel awkward around them now.
I guess I can be a bit direct at times, but I also think that it's concerning and a big accusation and I thought that without putting a suspicious theory into it but just delivering the facts it would give Birch a chance to correct course while also ensuring Apples safety. I am a pretty transparent person with my own feelings and life so I generally always opt to try and fix things early and well if there's been a breach.
I said to Apple after that maybe a boundary for me going forward is that they don't tell me things about my other partners if they expect those things to stay a secret between Apple and I. If they want to share information with me I'd like the autonomy to act on it, especially if it's a safety issue.
But I throw myself on the mercy of the community - what does everyone think?

My ex of 6 years broke up with me last week Friday very randomly and completely blindsided me. They moved out that night and took most of their clothes but still have a lot of things here and there at my place. When they dumped me, they said “can we talk?” But then just told me, “I wanna breakup” if didn’t feel like a conversation, more like he has news to share. All I said was “I didn’t expect this I’m so shocked and idk what to say… you aren’t asking me to talk or work through some of your concerns you are just telling me how you feel so all I can do is accept and appreciate your honesty.”
They left after that and I stepped out not wanting to breakdown and sob while they were there. That first night I called at night because hours later I wanted to ask all the questions, problem solve, I was confused and felt angry and hurt that they held this for a couple of weeks instead of trying to communicate with me. They didn’t answer cause it was late but the next day when they reached out just wondering if I had called, I said yes but nvm because I just wanted to respect his choice even if it was hard for me.
The week goes by and they reach out Wednesday to “see how I’m doing “ through text. They called and I didn’t answer. I didn’t respond cause I didn’t know what to say. I felt like I was just gonna explode all my feelings in a crazy text if I tried to articulate my thoughts and feelings or cry and beg them not to walk out on us on the phone.
Friday night they text again, saying they just wanna check-in and see how I’m doing, they hope I’m taking care of myself and they say they are off the next two days and to let them know if they can call me to see how I’m doing.
The problem is I never wanted to breakup, if I had a choice, I would stare every issue in the face and try to do the work on my end that was necessary to heal/communicate.
I don’t get it why is my ex reaching out like this acting concerned after the fact they broke up with me? They didn’t bother asking or being concerned the last 2 weeks of the relationship so now that I’m not his to worry about why is he trying to do the overtime? My ex was never the best at clear communication, they are avoidant and I am closer to anxious (just a bit more secure) I just feel like what can I say anymore? It’s already over and and although the message behind the text is one of “care and concern” it feels incredibly selfish and insensitive, part of me feels like they are just trying to satisfy their needs still (framed as thinking about me) when it’s probably more about assuaging their guilt. TL:dr : Why is my ex reaching out to “check-in” a week after he broke up with me?

Many web hosting providers offer normal web hosting plans as well as WordPress hosting plans, which can both be used to host a WordPress site. So, why would you choose a more expensive WordPress hosting plan when a cheaper shared hosting plan will do?
The answer varies depending on the specific provider you're considering and the features they offer.
In general, the biggest advantage of WordPress-optimized hosting over normal web hosting is the increased server resources and performance. Things like more memory, CPU power, concurrent connections, and NVMe SSD storage can make a big difference in performance and loading speed.
WordPress hosting usually has more advanced caching systems than shared web hosting, which also leads to improved speed.
Better security is another advantage you get with many WordPress hosting services. This can include malware scanning, automated backups, automated updates, custom firewall, and other security enhancements.
But again, it varies from one provider to another. You can find normal web hosting services that include all/most of the features mentioned above.
You have to consider the exact specs and features included, your site's requirements, and your budget in order to make the right choice for you.
Personally, I usually use regular web hosting for my new WordPress sites, and more advanced WordPress hosting for established websites that receive substantial traffic.

I have a Samsung Range I bought more than 2 years ago.
Over the past few months, it’s been doing the equivalent of a “ghost touch”, but on the touch control panel instead of a phone.
When cooking, obviously there will be steam. I’ve discovered when steam hits the control panel, it triggers some of the buttons. Usually, it triggers the Warming Center which isn’t too big of a deal. Today, it triggered the Broiler.
I smelled smoke and I ran into the kitchen. I turned off the Broiler and quickly opened the oven door and windows.
Having a touch control panel is bad design because things like steam will trigger it, they used to make control panels that required you to actually press hard for anything to happen. The old models never had this issue.
Thank God, there wasn’t any major property damage to anything but an oven mitt.
Has this happened to anyone else? Surely I can’t be the only one with this issue. This issue is major enough for me to lose trust in Samsung products going forward.

Whenever I connect to the VPN on my windows 10 PC I lose all LAN connections. I can't access my computer remotely. I can't access smb shares, I can't access nfs shares, I can't access login portals to various local hosts.
The VPN changes my network adapter from "ethernet1" with an ipv4 of 192.168.x.x to "nordlynx" with an ipv4 of 10.5.x.x of which I don't have any firewall rules for that...
I'm at my wits end trying to figure this out because on Linux, I can whitelist add subnet without issue and access everything ez-pz... but on pc the split tunnel does not work at all.
The biggest issue of all is that if I turn the VPN on, I lose access to mapped network drives. I can access them again but never from the N: drive, only by //192.x.x.x and the access doesn't come back unless the computer restarts.
I don't know enough about networking to fix this and am not sure how to keep my LAN access.
Could I plug a second ethernet cable into "ethernet2" and route local traffic through that? Or is the vpn going to control that too?
What service or app needs to split tunnel to keep pc mapped network drives working and available?

I am writing a homebrew world area by area. So far I have started with the main continent area. I haven't finished it yet but I want some feedback on it so far. Tell me if I forget to write about something, details you would like to read about, or generally ideas on regions as I haven't completely fleshed the whole thing out yet

So Ive been completely into a coworker as we get along and she’s so friendly! The issue is I dont know if its mutual. Pretty sure the woman is straight. Which I’m totally cool with! Will someone confirm this for me? We are virtual. On one of our meetings I wore a dress and was self conscious. When she joined the zoom call, she mentioned that I look cute. there was a slight hesitation in her voice saying it (did i not look cute??). I told her I felt a bit overdressed and we continued talk about work ..blah blah blah..when I went to stop sharing my screen, I laughed at my reflection and she noticed that! she asked, “You look so good, huh?" to which I completely denied.. . ”no! i feel so ridiculous in this getup!” I burst into uncontrollable laughter..i could hear her chuckle too. Towards the end of the call, she says that it was a really great session and messages me a few hours later about the material she finished. I replied: Thank you!!! im still mad at you for leaving my team but ill heal lol. anyway, nice seeing you today! ~i know - desperate- have you made it to this far? ill spark notes our other “cute” moments. She said she was outspoken. When I said I’m the opposite, she replied "oh you're softspoken? that just means we need to hang out more" she also mentioned that she loves listening to peoples problems, and she was a therapist in another life. when i said that I couldnt imagine doing that, she replied, "i want to just tell people like just ask her out already!” Then more recently, she says before our meeting "slack me at 1:15 and if i dont answer call me (she inserts her phone number). i refuse to miss our meeting" I reply "will do and its ok if you dont make it!" She replies "nope i'll be there, sometimes i get caught with other meeting " then slacks him at 1:04 im out! I hearted her message T_T So in summary, we laugh a lot. about nothing literally. I’m pretty certain she is straight but i can’t help but wondehope that some of her friendliness is interest sometimes. Pretty clueless. Your thoughts PLs!

I’m 22 y/o and I was looking to start trucking soon. Still have to get my CDL but I wanted to make sure I’m not being an idiot. I enjoy driving a lot, just to random places so I think that part would be nice. I’ve driven around 100k miles so far in my life but I’ve only ever driven automatic sedans. I understand it’d be a decent learning curve but I think I’ve got it. Any advice or things you wish you knew when you started. And some good companies to start with if possible. Any help is appreciated

I am 16 years old and I live in constant stress. Whenever I try to change my life something not caused by me fails my efforts - expectations of my parents, school (I am not bullied for sure but rather taken by quiet and weird even by teachers and people make fun of me), health problems. I am not intrested in things like other people my age so most of them take me as nerd.
I am completly tired of todays world and society and I dream very much about having small house somewhere where it is warm (like spain or greece) at outskirts of town and just enjoy life. I am intrested in crypto and even already earned some money from it so maybe it will be enough for living like that. What do you think about it and do u have any advices for me?
