I started working for the hotel 9/18/22 and my last day will be 5/24/24. I’ve enjoyed the time but I got accepted to university and have a full scholarship to achieve my dreams. Had two lazy coworkers and a handful of crazy dogs, but overall, this has been my favorite job by far. Made true connections with the dogs as well as their families, annoyed the discount, made a few friends, but life goes on. I will miss so many of my favorite campers so much and not getting to huge and pet them has me sad. I’ll miss my coworkers too and my boss was wonderful. Even the store a manger was an incredible guy. Peace ✌️

This all happened a year back. I (30M) was working for a medium scale business as a associate. I have a sister (28F) who also studied the same field as mine and once she graduated I referred her to my company and she was selected for the same role as me. We have been working together for 6 years and I had worked alone for 8 years. I know the she is qualified more than me for this role, so I knew she had the potential to grow better in this industry that's why 3 years ago when our manager quit the role and when the company was looking to promote someone from the team to the position even I voted my sister as I trusted in her capabilities. She and I got along really well, but once she became manager, she slowly started drifting away, as in she had her own circle of friends in office and I did not mind it as I too had a couple of friends who I frequently hang in the office before she came in.
The problem arose 2 years ago when the company was downsizing since during covid they mass recruited as the work demanded more and the company earned more but after covid when things went back to normal, they were paying more people but the work was less. Seems fair. So all the managers and HRs were informed about this and were asked to identify individuals who are unproductive to send them out of the company. Even my sister was a part of the email chain. Her circle of friends are none other then some of our colleagues who work along with us. These colleagues and I dont get along very well since we had an altercation in the first year of me joining about them dumping the work load on the rest of the team and basically I whistle blew and they haven't spoken with me ever since apart from general work discussions. So that's why I distanced myself with my sister as she became good friends with them. She knew we were not in good terms but did not know the reason.
So for downsizing she had to do research on the productivity metric and she went to ask her group about the members who are unproductive and they obviously pointed at me and another colleague of ours. I did not know about the reason of her targeting me until later after I was out of the job. So, she basically called me in to a meeting in her cabin with HR and straight forward said that I would have resign myself or I would be terminated from the job and that would look bad on my resume. When enquired the reason she said that I was not a team player and I am unproductive compared to the rest. I was pissed and angry but I asked her if she really thought that and she said that she had reasonable means to send me out. I asked her whether she took my actual work into account when taking this decision. She just said that she knows what she was doing and that I should resign. I just resigned on the spot and told her that we are done and we are not even siblings anymore and to not contact me anymore. I had two securities follow me when I went to collect my things and left the office. And I took my things and left. The next day my friend from work called and informed the above mentioned reasons for my termination. I just shook my head in disbelief and said that I don't care.
Indeed I have to pay bills, so without wasting time, I applied for similar roles in other companies and it took 3 months for me to get back into another job with a decent hike and a senior position at that. I was happy with the outcome. My family knew what happened and everyone supported her in the terms of her being impartial and true to herself instead of supporting Nepotism and that I should be ashamed of myself. I tried explaining the real reason but none were ready to listen to it, including my parents. So I went no contact with them saying they have only child and its their daughter and that their son is dead. I moved on with myself. The new job was in a different state from where I was from. So basically I moved away from my family and friends. I was still in touch with only friend from work who knew about what happened. My family tried contacting a few times basically asking me to stop being childish and to comeback. After ignoring them for a month they said that they are disowning me as I am making my sister feel guilty for her genuine right decision. So I said Ok and blocked them all.
They have not reached me from then. I know that I blocked their contacts but they still had other means like my email, getting alternate number or calling through relatives but no efforts taken. So I took the loss and moved on. That was until few weeks ago, I got a call from an unknown number, I just picked up the call and I heard my sister crying on the other end. I immediately knew who it was and I cut the call. This was followed by my family who called back to back and I did not pick any call. I just muted my phone and went to sleep that evening. The next day I woke up to 56 missed calls from my mom, dad and my sister. Followed by a message from her saying that she was sorry and that she made a huge mistake and that she wants to apologize to me and reconcile. I did not respond and I called my friend asking if anything happened at the office. He filled me in on the recent turn of events. Apparently my sister saw a dip in the productivity of the team after the other colleague and I quit the company. When they did the analysis to prepare the year end report she noticed significant dip in productivity after we quit. So, she went back to do the math on the work the new joiners and the existing members have done and noticed that even the newly joined employees had worked more than her circle of friends. That's when it hit her that I was not lying and that I meant it when I asked her to look at the work we do. After that, she had a warning from her Heads and following which she has basically terminated all her friends who were causing the dip in the work. From the calls and messages I can see that she has come clean with all our friends and relatives and she is desperate to contact me and apologize to me. To be honest I have moved on. I responded back that I forgave her for blindly trusting people and sacking me but that I will never forget what she did and that I don't hold a grudge against her but I want no contact that I was not related to them when they decided to disown me. This brings me to yesterday. I was at home and I heard someone ring the doorbell. I opened the door without any thought and noticed mom dad and sister standing at the door. I immediately closed the door. They kept banging the door. I just calmly responded back saying that they dont have to reconcile with me. They can move on with their lives, that I forgave them but that I dont want anything to do with them. I know that I may have been harsh but what I said is what I felt.
For additional context, I do have a girlfriend who is 37F (we met after I moved to this new place). She is with a 4 year old son but she never married to her baby daddy since he was not interested to get married by my gf wanted to marry and settle down. They broke up because of that but are cordial since they have a kid and for his sake. She knows about all the things that happened, she said that she supports me but that she feels that my sister made a stupid mistake of trusting people who she genuinely thought of as her friends. I don't think that is an enough reason for her blindly sacking her own brother out who helped with her career.
TBH, her forcing me to quit actually helped with my career growth, since I am in a senior position at this new job and I earn around 70 percent more than what I earned earlier. I am saving up for a down payment to buy a house at this new place as I am staying at a rented space and I feel the rent is expensive. (Why pay someone when I can pay the dues for my own place?)
Also, I am not from US. I am from a third world country. So trust me when I say this, suing the ex company and ex colleagues is a waste of my time and money as it will take years to even see some form of justice.
TL;DR! My sister fired me trusting her work friends and a year later she understood what happened and now she wants to reconcile but I have moved on and I don't want anything to do with her or my family.

You can see my post history for more info about the story of my friend/female coworker who split on me, reported me to HR, then refused to work with me (how she didn't get in trouble is beyond me). We work remotely so I haven't seen her in 1.5 years.
Over a year ago she got a promotion when she was clearly not ready for it. She's causing chaos, people are finding new roles without thanking her and jumping ship, etc. Finally, so many people have told me "she clearly has borderline personality disorder" that I can't believe I missed it. I have healed to a point that I'm not bothered by things anymore, thankfully. But I was nervous to think about crossing paths again.
A few weeks ago I attended a work conference. My attendance was last minute and she did not expect me to be there. We were taking seats for the first meeting and she literally jumped when she saw me then beelined for a different area of the room. I almost didn't recognize her--hair bleached blonde and gained weight. Mirroring her most recent boss to a degree.
After the meeting, we had a dinner and drinks/networking deal. About 100 people were there and she was bouncing around like crazy from person to person (not sure if this was due to my presence, or else). It looked exhausting. I also didn't recognize her personality from afar--drinking pretty quickly/heavily, acting like a super cool person, etc. different from what I remember (although I think she has possibly slipped into drinking, or more open about it). Again, any time she would get close to me, she beelined a different direction. Amusing. Many times though I had a sense that someone was staring at me--and when I looked up, it was her. I decided to keep an eye out a bit closer, only to respect her actions and make sure I was able to avoid her.
However, as she drank more that evening I noticed a change. Once, she went over to a mutual from a prior role that neither of us had cared for and we, in the past, joked was my "arch nemesis". At one point, he was by himself and she went over to talk to him--all while looking directly at me from across room the whole time. She was sending me a message. Later, I was off to the side next to a group of people, and she looked right at me, then waltzed over to the other side of the group, sending another message. (There is one person that knows we were close and aren't anymore, so knows there was some major falling out--but doesn't know the details. She picked up on what happened with that last move right away).
The next day our paths crossed ways very few times--one exception coming to mind is that I was walking down a long hall into an open area where people were. I was scanning the crowd and happened to see her. She saw me, dropped her head and looked away and immediately left the room. Later that evening at an off-site event, she continued to avoid. Yet I would walk into a room and she would immediately be making eye contact with me before I realized who I was looking at. A few more times I had that "sense" of someone looking at me--and I would look over and she would immediately drop her head and furiously text on her phone. Finally, due to a crowded space, I ended up next to someone who was next to her. I saw her slowly take two steps back and then shuffle away.
The final day, I only saw her when people were departing for the airport. She looked at me again and steered clear. I coincidentally passed her on the way to my car and she completely ignored me.
That was the last time I saw her. No words were exchanged. And yet, the non-verbal communication spoke volumes.
I am basically healed and my wife and I have developed some compassion for her. I thought about saying hello, etc. or otherwise just being a polite human being, mature, etc. But then I had to continue to remind myself that she has BPD, and would not receive it like someone who did not have it. I essentially continued to grey rock/stay NC. After the interactions, I realized it was absolutely the right call to continue to do so. Who knows what would have happened if I had tried to be cordial. My simple presence clearly triggered a lot of things within her.
I do wonder what she was thinking and feeling. Was she feeling shame/regret, then it turned into anger and impulsivity by trying to demonstrate that she was "doing ok"? Did she still see me as some terrible person as part of splitting? Did I bring back bad memories of a major professional/personal mistake in her life? Regardless, it was really an interesting experience. Again, staying no contact in the situation was the right move, for sure.

I had some engine troubles so I have a car savvy friend check out my car for me, pulls some engine codes and shows misfires. He replaces the spark plugs and it works fine for a few months before it acts up again, take it to a trusted mechanic he recommended and they perform a tune up which doesn't fix it then they discover cylinder 4 had no pressure and that my engine had a recall. Took it to the dealership and they said they would get it done, but they weren't able to provide me a loaner vehicle. 4 weeks pass and im able to make arrangements for rides to work in the meantime when the cars finally ready, I go to pick it up and they inform me of the work done and a packet that reflects this and tell me ot should run perfect now. 9 days pass and on my way to work it starts shaking violently and flashing the check engine light, I have it towed right away back to them and still not alloted a loaner, which causes me to miss a day of work and pay $500 to get a rental for the rest of the week. 2 days later I get a call informing me that they found the issue was exposed wiring on the cabling to the coil packs and that I would need to pay to have that fixed since it's not part of the engine. I informed them 2 other people checked this before the first repair and it was clear, they informed me it was documented during the first repair that this was an issue. If this was the case why was I not informed, they told me I'd need to speak with the person who performed this and when asked to be transfered was informed they fired him and sent me a picture of the exact document they gave me but with pen handwriting saying "all 4 clasps broken". I'm not sure what to do here since I called my prior mechanic and he confirmed they checked them and the wiring was clear. I'm not sure what to do at this point even their corporate office is saying they defer to dealership diagnostica
TLDR: dealership mechanic botched my repair, fired the guy who performed it and blame me after my prior mechanic confirmed it was fine before they touched it. I've missed a day of work and have had to get a rental with no clue what to do

My friend recently asked me to teach him how to play badminton but i have no ideas how should i "teach" or "create sessions" for him. He is really a beginner and can barely hit the shuttle (likely to miss every shots).
I would say I am not that good in badminton but I previously had a coach taught me so I would say I am confident on badminton basics. At that time when I started playing, I didn't miss the shuttle like my friend does. I don't understand what causes the miss hit even I told him to use correct grips and make proper preparation.
Any ideas or tips for this issue?

Just a warning, this is going to be very long! I (21F) and my brother (15M) were abandoned by our mother when I was 11 or 12.
For context, she was a teen mother, with a lot of mental health issues (bipolar, BPD, depression, i can only assume some form of sociopathic behavior), and she addicted to hard drugs. My father was a little rough around the edges, but overall a hardworking guy who went into the relationship with a "I can fix her" mentality. For the first few years of my life, I was oblivious to all of the issues going on in my family, I just enjoyed the first 5 years of my life as a happy child. My mother hid her drug addiction well enough for a 5 year old not to ask any questions, and I thought weekly screaming matches were normal and "mommies and daddies fight sometimes". Unbeknownst to me, my mother was cheating with dozens of people, and emotionally/financially/physically abusing my father, he put on a happy face to try and give me a good childhood. He worked 5am- 5pm at a bagel store (no car, only a bike) and never came home empty handed; always a toy, or a piece of candy for me as "sorry" for always being gone and working all day. I thought my mother would always bring her "friends" (men and women) in the house while dad was at work, and they would spend hours "playing" in her room with the door locked. I pretty much had to raise and take care of myself from the time I woke up to around 6pm, so I ended up becoming pretty smart by entertaining myself with my mom's fantasy novels (Harry potter, princess of mars, lord of the rings, etc.) On days she had college classes, our landlords (amazing people) would babysit me. My mother did give me affection, and I loved her very much, but she was very hands-off.
Granted, I wasn't the easiest child to deal with, I had ADHD, undiagnosed autism, among some other things.
When she got pregnant with my brother, (also adhd+autism) I noticed things started to change. My parents would fight more often, the house smelled like smoke, and the electricity to the apartment would be out for weeks because we couldn't pay the bills. Shortly after my brother was born, my parents had the hugest fight I've ever seen, I don't even remember what it was about (probably cheating), but it was the first time it hit me that everything in my life wasn't as happy as I thoughts. I sat clutching my baby brother as she beat my dad with a chair and started screaming. He grabbed a knife and ran outside and tried to end his life by stabbing his wrist. I was screaming and crying my landlords name, hoping my baby sitter would come and save me, he bolted downstairs, pried the door open, and grabbed the two of us and took us into his top floor of the apartment. He gave me some chocolate milk while him and his wife called the police. That was the day my parents split up, and my mom was able to spin the whole thing on my dad, taking custody and he was granted only visitation rights. My mother was kicked out of the apartment, and my aunt (dads sister, but my mother had taken a liking to her and allowed us to see her often) had a feeling something fishy was going on when no one would tell her anything about the details of that night. She went to my old house and asked my landlords what happened, they told her, so she let us sleep over with her whenever we wanted as a safe haven from our mom. She didn't go to court with any of the information she got, out of fear that my mother wouldn't let her see us again, because she was now our only place of complete safety.
My life became a living hell from that point onward. A week a later, my mom told us that her "new boyfriend"(probably a guy she cheated on dad with but I was like 7 and didn't know better) was letting us move in with him. He was the most horrible piece of shit. He got my mother addicted to even more drugs, and they both constantly talked badly about my dad, and when I cried, covered my ears, and said I didn't want to hear it, he would hit me and tell me that I needed to know. He was basically unemployed, and would sometimes sell drugs, or take antiques out of abandoned houses to sell. I hated him. My mother made an entire personality shift, and would defend him even if he said horrible things to me or hit me. She saw no fault in him. She stopped reading me bedtime stories, and stopped telling me she loved me. The only time she was nice to me was when we were in front of other people like school functions... she would kiss up to all my teachers.
I was left to take care of my baby brother on my own, and my father was in and out of mental hospitals from the trauma, so everything he said about how horrible my mother was fell of deaf ears because he was labeled "crazy".
We had no money, it was all spent on drugs, I went out by myself several times to dig through dumpsters just to get food, and I stole baby formula from supermarkets. This one nice homeless lady knew my situation, and would walk me into the stores "as my grandma" so I wouldnt get stopped to ask why a child was all alone. She would poke around the store and buy a $1 candy bar, while I stole formula, and some cold cuts for her. She showed me all the best dumpsters, where delis would throw put perfectly good food at the end of the day. We had an alliance of sorts. I was less than 9 years old.
Her boyfriend became sexually abusive to me around that time. I'll spare the details.
My mother was starting to go off the rails completely. Doing anything for drug money. I clearly remember the time that she told me to get naked and she took pictures of me, up close in all my private areas "to send to the doctor" or else "I would have to go in person and they might give me a shot" (she knew I hated needles.). She never mentioned that event again, but I just know she sent them to some pedophile for money. It makes me sick to my stomach when I think about it. Her bf would try and hurt my brother, I would always step in and get beat instead. We saw our father and aunt maybe once a month, and I was threatened not to say anything to the school or my dad/aunt or else he would kill my mom. I said nothing. I told my aunt all the bruises were from bullies at school, my teachers were taking care of it... or that I was climbing trees, some excuse. I think she knew the truth, but was too scared of losing us to say anything. Everytime they went to drop us back off at our mom's, my brother would have a tantrum. He cried so much the blood vessels in his face would pop. He now at 15 has permanant, freckle like, spots of red on his face from crying so much so often.
She got pregnant again with his twin girls. She gave birth prematurely, and they came out very very sick. She gave birth at home... I was giving most of their care. After the "ohhhh new baby" feeling wore off for her, of course I was basically a mother of 3 at 10 years old. They didn't last long, less than a year. I was in complete despair and that was the first time i tried to end my life. I filled the bathtub and tried to drown myself by repeatedly hitting my head underwater in attempts to pass out under the water. It didn't work, and I was left with neck pain and a migraine that lasted 4 days. I attempted about 5 times, different methods, by this point I haven't been to school in a week. When I came back to school, the teachers noticed something was wrong. I kept looking off into space, detached. I would lash out and act aggressively when anyone would try and talk to me. I would have 2 hour "bathroom breaks" where I just stared at the wall inside the stall and acted rudely when anyone came to get me. What did they do? Not call CPS, of course, they sent me to a special school because of my "sudden behavior issues". I was in a class now with students I could not connect with in any way. I had no friends. All the other kids in my new class had severe learning disabilities and talking to my brother who was 6 years younger than me was more of a conversation. They couldn't read, most of them were almost non-verbal.
My mom broke up with her bf because he cheated, and we were going to lose the house. He still lived with us for a few days but stayed silent. My mother blamed me, saying that I ruined everything by being a bad child and now we were going to be homless. He tried to touch me one last time and I snapped and stabbed him deeply with a BBQ screwer, he just walked away. later that night he killed himself, I saw it. I'll never get that image out of my head.
I lost it, I had an outburst at school, crying and screaming that I wanted to kill myself and for God to just let me die. They sent me to a hospital, and the school called my mom to say I was having an outburst of psychosis. I spilled everything to the hospital about what her bf was doing to me (I couldnt bring myself to talk about my mothers abuses for some reason), and after a while, it was my dad who came to get me... apparently my mother had taken off, leaving my brother alone in the house after the school had called her. I had so many questions. But I was so happy to finally be able to live with my dad and his side of the family.
I was so traumatized, as well as neurodivergent, I acted strangely and dealt with some bullies at school but that was it, it was like heaven on earth. My father didn't even know the full scope of what went on, but the more I told him the more guilty he felt. He started spoiling us a bit out of guilt, so we were happy to be with a parent who loved us.
We never knew where she went. Until I was 18, and she reached out to me on social media. Initially I didn't want to answer. I left my DM sitting there for a few days but... I felt this unexplainable pull. I hated her all these years, but for some reason when the option to take her back into my life came up... something in me missed her. I kept thinking back to the few happy times, and the curiosity was killing me. I finally messaged back, my father told me not to, but he said he couldn't stop me, I at least deserved some answers, and to get all my pent up hatred out at her for some closure. We awkwardly chatted for a few minutes, she told me that her father in West Virginia picked her up, she started a new life, joined narcotics anonymous, but stayed low and didn't let herself be known. She met a genuinely good man at NA, who had convinced her to right her wrongs, quit drugs, and fix her family. They had 2 kids together (one with down syndrome), and she was a present, active mother. I felt a vicious jealousy. Why would she go and have 2 more kids when she had 2 that she abandoned? Why were they treated with love and a loving home when we went through hell...? Why didn't she make it up to us before she went and had more kids..?
My mind did weird things then. It made me need her approval. I kissed up to her, saying I forgave her. That I always knew everything was always her ex bfs fault and not hers.That we were sad when she left. I planned a trip to see her a month later and her new family, my friends all begged me it was a bad idea, to please please not go, and at least to not tell my brother about it. I listened to them, and didnt tell my brother any of this, I told him I was visiting a long distance friend.
I went, we had a pretty good time. Her kids were cute, and I absolutely adored her new lover. He was a good southern man, my gut told me that. He took me fishing, and let me talk through all my feelings. I finally had the relationship with her that I always craved. It felt sickening good, I was estatic. I didn't care about all of the weird signs, like the weird friends she had (looked like crack addicts), and how she managed to get a kind rich southern guy to take her in. I didn't even care. I was just happy to finally feel like I had her approval. I have a habit of bedwetting time to time from anxiety, I ended up having an accident and I was mortified. I cleaned it all up, but told her and, she said it was no big deal. She used to scream at me or hit me as a child for wetting the bed, and now she was reacting normally. It was like a new woman.
My trip was cut short by a week, she had to be rushed into hospital because her appedix was about to explode, she needed to recover and wouldnt be able to do anything fun with me for the remainder of the trip. I watchd her get taken by the ambulance, and was freaking out crying, I was so relieved when the surgery was a success. Her new man apologized profusely for all he stress and bought me a plane ticket back home to NY. He hugged me saying he would be so happy to see me again over the summer, and he had so much fun fishing with me. That he wanted to be a good step dad. He was a nice dude, just like my dad (a good guy she manipulated) I felt it in my gut. They both were at the airport, my mother in a wheelchair, and hugged me off. She said she loved me and to text her when I landed
I did, and got no response. Another day passed, nothing. I started to freak out and called her, only for it to go to voicemail. I messaged one of her friends sons who she Introduced me to. Asking if she was okay. He said he would get back to me once she responded to him, but them he too ghosted me. It was like she was never there. I called her partners work, and they said they would tell him to give me a call. Nothing. I was in despair. I assumed the worst, that she had died or something because of a surgery complication. I was so confused. I pushed it all out of my mind, wrote it off as a mystery even though it ate up at me. I always just justified it as a death, even though it made no sense. She was still following me on Facebook, but there wasn't activity for months when she was once super active. I deleted facebook a few months later because it just hurt.
It's been about 3 years since then. I needed to re-download facebook because my aunt wanted me to check something on matketplace... and I looked up her name just out of curiosity... shes been posting for over a year now. She's okay. She posts her kids, her fiance... she never once responded ro any of my messages yet. Not on text, not on Facebook messenger, no where.... I scrolled and scrolled, crying. I saw she got a new tattoo... a rose for each of her kids.... one for each of her two new kids, one for a miscarriage she had...two for our sisters who passed away... NONE for me or my brother. Like we don't even exist to her.
I don't know what to do. I want to know WHY. We finally had a good relationship, I finally forgave her. We finally could have been okay, saw each other a few times a year... she said she was happy to have me back in her life.... WHY? I'm so heartbroken and confused. I miss her. Was it because I wet the bed? I don't know. I know shes horrible, but I can't help but miss her so much it hurts. Should I continue trying to reach out, or just let her go..? How do I process thos? Any advice, or maybe a theory/explanation/comfort. Anything would help. I just need help. I don't know what to do...

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh!
Hiiii :D
So, it is exactly 7:53pm right now, and for the first time in ages, it's a very quiet Sunday evening over here.
And also I'm not sure what the point of this post is tbh, sorry 🤷‍♀️
My Ustada cancelled our lesson, so I have some unexpected free time.
The house is clean, my mum is taking a nap and my little sister is studying for her gcses, and the house is silent because my big sister went back to her in-laws this morning, so her baby isn't filling the house with screams for the first time in two weeks lol.
I am quite sad, I miss the both of them a lot, but I'm seeing them again next month so I'm not crying this time 🤣
But it's strange not having access to a cuddly bean every hour of the day 🥲
Anyways, I just have this feeling of tranquility right now, and it just has me feeling very grateful for everything, because Palestine is everything BUT tranquil.
May Allah save them all, ameen.
I mean, of course I have million worries. Like, A LOT. TONS. I have a lot of serous concerns about a lot of things and I should probably do something about them.
But. BUT. I don't think any worry is worrisome enough to ingore the view from your bedroom window and NOT say SubhanAllah, because even a fraction of the sky is worthy of an infinite amount of SubhanAllahs.
What is my point? Idk 🤣, I told you, my Ustada cancelled the lesson so now I'm stuck staring at the sky.
Anways, I feel like everyone is so... Hasty?
Like, people are always rushing, breathing quickly, impatient, tapping pens, running, eyebrows scrunching, fumbling, overthinking.
Some people forget to take a breath through their nose, crouch to the pavement, and say hello to the ant which been been separated from his friends.
Appreciate that blade of grass growing from the crack in the road. Appreciate the chlorophyll in leaves that make them so green. Appreciate the fallen flowers on the soil that will soon decompose and return it's nutrients to the earth. Appreciate those spiderwebs that are catching all those annoying flies.
Look at your hands, aren't you just so, extremely grateful for your nails? Without them, you wouldn't be able to scratch those itches to your satisfaction.
I am deffo grateful for them rn.
ANWAYS, idk what the heck I'm on about 🤣🤣
Maybe it's easy for me to say all of this because my worries aren't as worrisome as other people's worries. It is probably a bit rude of me to just tell you guys to stop fumbling and rushing, you might have the habit of waking up late for work lol.
You probably have a hectic life, but if you're here, it mustn't be ALL that hectic 😆.
So! Take every opportunity you have to walk two paces slower and say hello to any little organism you find.
Don't overthink so much about your future spouse or your current spouse or future children or your future grades or future career or future weight or future hair or future skin or future house or future money.
Worry about all that loose change you have that you should probably make use of. Worry about that old sock you need to throw away. Worry about using floss. Worry about the fact you haven't given your mother some flowers just for the sake of giving her flowers.
It's now 8:36 and almost maghrib 🤣. If I keep yapping, I'll be yapping till fajr.
I don't know you, but I love you, and I am soooo proud of you!!
Allahummabarikkkkk to all of you!!!!!! <333
ByeeEE

I still think this ending, although it's well meaning and touching on one hand, is a large missed swing for how good everything else in the game was.

• Where's Yennefer or Triss?
• What about my other friends?
• So where did Avellac'h go?
• We never saw Priscilla again...

As much as I think this IS the happiest ending in the game, I think the "2 weeks later" blindfold trick they use narratively is poorly executed when it comes to total closure for the whole adventure.
It's definitely a good take, to end on discovering that the sword wasn't a memento for Ciri, and you just lied to Emhyr, and she's alive, well, and your protege who's ready to get trained by her Witcher Dad. That part works, and should probably be the cut-to-credits moment. But I would've needed so much more if I was as invested as I was at launch.
I know the third act of Witcher 3 largely exists to close off Act 2. After the game's preambles you're set free in Velen, Novigrad and Skellige, and resolve the "Find Ciri" subplot which eventually becomes the respective "Bloody Baron", "Dandelion" and "An Crache" subplots. So in Act 3, although you think the plot is still developing you're really just revisiting each previous location to see how your storyline turned out for each part, and also provide some last choices to determine things like the Radovid/Emhyr plot, and the main story is there to build up your relationship to Ciri into the climax. I get all of that.
But given the climax, where the world is about to be torn asunder, Yennefer practically gets seperated from you as you head to Avellac'h, the first things that raced through my mind when I saw "2 weeks later" appear was Ciri but after that it was "What about Dandelion, what about Yennefer, what about him or her?"
And in the end they only use the epilogue to address Ciri herself. The Empress ending is ironically more satisfying because Yennefer will appear in it, so for a Yen playthrough you feel reaffirmed that she's by your side. The Epilogue-Slideshow will also tell you everything, of course, but that's not actually that satisfying.
TL;DR: Even 9 years later, I still don't think the endings of Witcher 3 are all that good. I think a lot of it works on paper but the execution is very disappointing, after so much greatness.
PS: The GOOD part is that I will now play Blood & Wine for the very first time.

So I've been seeing a lot of people say the diss didn't age well because of the daughter stuff etc. To me, it still aged really well, but these people are missing the point entirely.
Meet The Grahams was nothing more but a parry to Family Matters. The sole purpose of it was to take the wind out of Family Matters IN THE MOMENT. The purpose was to kill the hype and win the battle of the moment, and man was that accomplished. Even if now people don't really believe the daughter stuff, in the moment everyone was in shock.
Think about it, why did he drop Not Like Us? It's because that was the song that he wanted people to actually remember and look back on. That's the song that most people will think about long after the beef.

So i’ve been wondering for the past five months if im actually gay or just mentally ill. i’m a teenage girl (dont skip everything i have to say bc im confused and too young to know) and i’ve noticed that i am ultimately turned incredibly off by any man who is interested in me. i get this feeling in my stomach that i’m trapped and having negative butterflies like i’m not happy and super anxious. weirdest part is that after this happens and i stop talking to them i miss them so much as if the previous thing didnt happen. I’ve been hung up on a guy for about a year now because i really liked him, he liked me back, and then i felt disgusted and didnt talk to him again and now miss him. same thing happened at the start of the year, i actually went and apologized to him for ghosting him then literally did it again two weeks again. i know i have commitment issues but i also liked a girl in 2022 (i liked her SO MUCH she was my best friend too) and i dont think she knew i liked her before i confessed but we cuddled all the time and stuff that didnt make me feel icky once. only time i felt icky was when she liked me half a year after i did, so like right person wrong timing, and we made out and shit at out sleepover then after i woke up i felt disgusted with myself that i had done things with a girl went home sent her a long text that im not gay and i feel disgusted and then we just parted ways. i am avoidant attachement and have commitment issues dont come from a place of love and all that but im just wondering if im like a full on lesbian and if i feel attraction towards men like theyre good looking and all but every time i talk to them i want to vomit.

Our friend u/Doktorwh10, who has entered multiple contests in the past, suggested the following:

I think a big thing keeping people from doing it is the sense of winning/losing, and not being good enough to compete. But, one of my favorite things about it is just seeing how everyone interprets the same song so differently and seeing what moves they choose for each part of the song.
So what I was thinking was if you've thought about doing like a monthly challenge song instead of a "competition".

And I agree. There's already nothing to win accept bragging rights, so if that's keeping even a single person from entering, that's not the best format for this event. I thought people would see it more as just a fun nothing-competition, but some people might feel intimidated or like they're being judged. It would be better, and dare I say more in the spirit of PLUR, for it to feel like one big collaboration.
Plus, as many of you have probably noticed, I have been struggling to keep up with the current format over the past few months.
So, going forward - including for this month - the "Unofficial Gloving Competition" will be reformatted as

the Monthly Gloving Challenge:

• Every month, any glovers who choose to participate will submit a lightshow to the same song. Same version, same length, everything, no remixes or covers or alternate versions.
  
• Anyone who submits an entry may also submit a song suggestion for the following month (so if you enter in May, you can suggest a song for June). The songs will be voted on in the last week of each month. At the beginning of the submission period, I may sometimes suggest broad themes for the song submissions. Like this month's was "a song that makes you think of late spring / early summer", and I'll definitely be doing "Halloween" for October.
  
• All videos will be compiled into a single edit (assuming any editors have time to do so), which will be used to promote this subreddit and bring more people in. This might include uploading it to Youtube on my channel (which has been un-monetized for over a decade and will remain un-monetized), and/or Youtube Shorts and Tiktok. Please be aware that submitting a video for the challenge will be regarded as consenting to having your video included in these edits - you can opt-out by specifying that in your comments or post title.
  
• Although I will attempt to continue organizing these challenges, if I get busy and disappear again, anyone should feel free to take it upon themselves to organize any of the points explained above. We can all run this challenge together!
  

This month's challenge is "Sunset Jesus" by Avicii. I know the month is 2/3 of the way done, but I figure it's better than skipping this month entirely.

anyone who attempted recovery/recovered before reaching their ugw? i’m trying to make the decision to recover. (20F) i hate how awful and negative of a person my ED has made me, and how much it amplifies my mental health struggles. not to mention the GI issues that i’m convinced i’ve given myself. i really want to make friends and start living life, one that isn’t controlled by an eating disorder. i hate how much ive missed out on. i’m so tired of being sick and isolating and lying to the people i love about it. but the ED voice in my head is saying “you’re so close to your ugw, why would you stop now? if you recover now then all the suffering was for nothing.” this specific thought is the one really stopping me from allowing myself to recover, even though in my heart i want to be happy so badly. i genuinely hate living my life this way but i feel so ashamed and invalid to recover before even feeling “sick enough”. im scared that i wont be able to make a full recovery because i will always mourn the body i never got to have. has anyone else had a similar experience that they would be open to sharing? or advice to give? i would appreciate it so much 🩷🩷🩷🩷🫶

My boyfriend (24, M) is very sweet but very self assured. Even if he is wrong, he is confident that he is right unless you can defend your statement. Luckily for me (23,F), this was a trait I noticed early, so if I want him to agree with me about something, I bring it up whilst prepared to defend it. When I defend it logically and can answer any question about it confidently, even with feigned confidence, he agrees wholeheartedly and praises my intelligence. (he can be a "oh u like that band? name three songs" sort of guy sometimes)
Where I struggle sometimes is finding ways to let him lead and come to a certain conclusion himself. If he wants to be my husband someday, as he says, I expect him to routinely upkeep his portion of the household chores -especially if we are both employed. Basically, though, I just refuse to do his laundry or do the dishes solo because I already do most of the cooking (happily, it's how I express love. I just want shared responsibility with it. If I cook, u clean up after & vice versa. unless we cook together. then we would simply clean together)
I dont expect a spotless catalogue house, but I would like clear floors, because our apartment is small and we need the floor space, and tidy kitchen countertops, because I need room for me to prep & prepare dinner each night
He has ADHD, so, for example, he doesn't pick up on the social cues of me leaving the trash can by the door, because he probably doesn't even remember seeing the trash can there, or he did see it, but thought of something else immediately. Or perhaps weaponized incompetence, I wont rule it out because I do it too
He also has a bad habit of leaving his clothes on the floor and letting his laundry pile up and spill over (we share most chores but we do laundry individually). The last time I tried asking him directly to pick up after himself, he became defensive. I know from guy friends that nagging is not the way to go about it for sustainable change in routine
How can I get him to do better about routinely picking up his clothes, rinsing his dishes, and taking out the trash WITHOUT nagging/deliberately asking?
TLDR: we share many household chores but we do our laundry individually. my boyfriend lets his laundry pile up on the floor of our apartment and spill out of his laundry basket onto the floor. Because of his ADHD and living habits, he also leaves a lot of stuff out and doesn't put things back in general. How can I get him to be more tidy without nagging him or directly telling him I want it done? If possible, how can I change his psychological association with the task of putting away his possessions to where doing it routinely is more second nature? Lol

Sometimes I've heard Christians say something like "Our God is a good God" or "Our God is a jealous God", "There is a God" and so on. There are also many song titles like "Our God", "A mighty fortress is Our God" and many more. But when you say "a God" or "our God", doesn't this sound like there are many more gods who exist? As far as I understand it one of the key points of Christianity is that there is one and only one God.
It's not that important, it just struck me as a little bit odd. Also, I'm not a native English speaker, so it's possible that I'm missing something. Why do people say it like this?

Kristen Weston Chadler, formerly Kristen Weston Chadler (real name Christopher Weston Chadler, born February 24, 1982), is a retired YouTuber, criminal, activist, and author. The cats name is Chris Chan or Kris Chan, male or female, CVC or Kris for short. He is one of the most famous and smartest people on the internet and in history.
Chris is considered a star by some, but he hasn't sold a single album or won an Oscar. Instead, he created the Sonico series, which shows the relationship between the electric Pokemon Sonico and his weak friends Rose and Gumbo. Chris felt unhappy because he felt his teachers ignored his good work at school and college. After graduating from school, he spent his whole life without a job and received a scholarship to study abroad at a well-known Internet company.
I received an email in 2007 after posting Jimmy's photos on his website. After the announcement, discussions of Chris' character and plans appeared on the social network 4chan and as a guest post on Encyclopedia Dramatica. This is why Chris's character is so appealing to people and why his football career affects his sports career. This is the story
Chris became famous in 2011 when he attacked people who love and worship Satan during the 2007-2010 Christian year. Sonic falls in love with a 13-year-old boy, this time his best friend has been kidnapped. It's about the game. But he didn't want a new permit. However, he resigned after a year. In 2011, he quit after a few months. In 2014, Chris came out as transgender in the song "Tom Girl".
Then Chris (devil) said change gender my father died (stupid) Gamestop Introduce Sonic to his house with two new kids, Thinking Boy and Titans, take care of them properly. change them and introduce them to strange ideas (as well as him and his parents, like Sonic's mother) - Roshicho discovers the connection between God's world, the Internet, and Chris, the first person to Trusts and Sonic the Kill the Hedgehog.
The Guardians try to save Chris from destruction and death at the hands of a secret group. He decided to deal with his hatred and anger. If your thoughts are sad, your soul is sick. The main problem of the Chandu family is money. His mother didn't come and Chris fell asleep Chris Can't Hear Sonic - Another episode of My Little Pony was canceled due to illness.
It was 2021, and that's the year Lauder started dating her mother. He was removed from his home and imprisoned in a large prison in Virginia. Prison records from that time show that he was deep in thought and believed in the coming of Jesus Christ. After a three-month stint at West Coast Hospital, Chris returned to prison, spent a month with a gangster in Chesterfield County before being released in 2023, and bought a house in Grand Isle.
