2023.06.02 00:12 daufaqisreddit123 Host lied that we damaged their property. We did not.

Host lied in review
I'm honestly really annoyed. But I'd like a hosts honest opinion. I feel it's so unfair and I don't know whether to fight it. I live abroad, and i booked a place for my parents to stay so they could visit me for 2 weeks. Host had great reviews, self check in so never met her, but through the messages they seem nice. The apartment was clean and comfortable. Yadda yadda. Gave her a 5 star review when my parents checked out, lovely place etc. Text her like and idiot to tell her this and thank her. She messages me a few hours later saying my parents damaged the property. The photos she sent were wear and tear and honestly so minimal it might of been a previous guest, they were not noticible and I didnt even see them while i was in the apartment the night before. Her photos also were not proof it was even that apartment. But I didn't bother saying it because I thought she was being ridiculous. I was honestly so surprised, my reviews are perfect and my parents are more careful than I am. This was not damage at all, but she acted like they wrecked the place.. I waa polite but I was not accepting what she was saying. She reckoned she need a painter. It was 2 suitcase marks on the doorway. I genuinely feel like she was looking for an excuse to charge me more.
She surprised me by leaving good public review, but then suggestions for next time "damaged property". The property was not damaged. I'm so annoyed that I'd almost ask air bnb to remove my 5 star review altogether. I'd rather her have none than have a good one from me.
Is "suggestions for next time" seen by other hosts? I don't want my good guest profile ruined by a pure lie on her part.

2023.06.02 00:09 DumitruMD A Story

This is an unfinished story, and it might not end until my death or self-improvement and finding self-meaning.
I find it hard for me to understand the reason behind my loneliness. I was a smart kid, I knew how to read at the age of five and for the first 6-7 years in school I was the smartest boy in class. Oh, I wish I would have had.the same determination as I had back then. Nowadays I just play in the phone, draw or think about meanings, truths and what made me like this. I am a lonely person. But I will start from the very moment that I felt I was not meant to be with the others. Odd or not it started at kindergarden. I think even before I started to learn to read and calculate from my mother(I knew how to do 2-3rd year of school calculations on paper using the "column" method that my mother taught me).Apparently she tried to teach my brother that is a year and 4 months younger than me read at 5-6 years old just like me but he had no interest. It seems that only I had such interests and determination. Still, I wasn't phisically healthy either, I would inevitably catch a cold at least once a month because of my weak imune system. I remember trying to enter in the social group of kids by trying to do just like they did to see if I would get anywhere. Surprising or not, nothing changed and they probably got more grossed out. I still I had a friend, my neighbour, he was only 4 months older than me so we were the same age. In my first year of school I was the smartest kid in math because of my already advanced knowledge and experience with it. I do like math, even nowadays. I did get bullied a bit in my first 2 years of school but my naive mind didn't really get what that was and thought it was just a play, if you wonder why I was bullied, I think it was because of how weak I was. Literally even a girl could win against me in a fight.
Shortly after my parents divorced as well, weird it was that I did not cry even if I understood what was happening, I literally remember seeing my brother cry yet I couldn't shed a tear. Was I insensitive, or maybe my logic and insight told me that I shouldn't cry because I will still see my father often(he was the one that left). I asked a year ago why the divorce happened, and it wasn't any cheating involved. It actually might be worse because of the type of person my father was. I still have half of the story missing that my mother doesn't tell me but my father told me he will explain everything when I will be 18.(2 years from now as I currently am 16).
I continued being lonely in school because my friend was in another class and I had none close in mine. But this wasn't much of an issue as it didn't bother me as much as it did later on.
We now jump a few years later of this rythm of loneliness in school, going to my dad for the weekends every 2 weeks and my average day to day studying and playing with my friends. My mom and dad had now new partners so I got 2 more brothers and a sister. Why did I say "jump" back a few words ago because now we reach the part where my mom and step-father immigrated to Italy for a year then taking us with her. I hoped I will be able to escape my loneliness there, I even studied the language for a few months before immigrating. I got in school, the children there were just a few months younger than me(because of the difference of school system I couldn't advance to the level where children of my age were, I still didn't really care tho).
You know like that moment when you expected something that could make you feel better and then end up realizing a disappointing and sad truth? I felt it when I thought that I finally had a friend group here, 2000 kilometers away from my friends from my home country. I was still lonely, and it hurt, I couldn't speak their language as good as they did. When I thoughts I had finally made a connection with someone it made me sad to realize the only connection was that of "acquitances" and no, that's not something they told but something that it seemed and felt like. Even if I would talk to them often I was the one always left behind, I would meet them gathered in the park randomily when I didn't even know about it. It seems like I had no place anywhere I went. Does it hurt? It does, quite a lot, a year after that I had times when my chest felt in pain, and I was grabbing my own face talking to myself "Just a bit, just a tad bit more and we will escape this loneliness". I did escape of that pain but never of loneliness. I would look myself in the mirror and ask myself "is this what I was supposed to be?" "Is this even who I truly am?" "Where is the tiny boy I knew and was?" "Did my masks cause this?". I would question myself, think, swimming in an ocean I was once drowning in, living in it like a fish would. Swimming thru this life I obviously had times when I thought of "self-erasure" but I didn't think of doing it simply, I wish my "cancelment for life subscription" was accidental or that it would be a sacrifice for someone else so that I wouldn't make my family sad to put a blame on them for my possible "self-erasure". I have these toughts and actions go pretty unnoticed, my family actually can call me iresponsable or insensible often. I once told my mom about my loneliness and guess what she said "friends come with time". A bit later when I failed the school year she had a different response. "None will want to be friends with someone who is stupid" she said. Those 2 frases hurt me in 2 different ways, the first one literally pained me and had me question myself "How much longer do I have to wait?" For the second one my thougths were " But what about those first 7 years of school, I was literally the smartest boy in my class?". I still love my mother. But I love my dad more right now. He was more gentle and suportive. When my mom wouldn't care about my hobby of drawing, my dad will listen to my manga ideas, would look at my drawings and even watches what I do on Instagram even tho he isn't familiar with it. The last straw, that made me write this was because of something that happened recently. One of my classmates made a poll with "who is going out for a sushi and at the lake?" I said yes together with 9 others. I didn't have enough money for sushi and left them there while I went home as I lived only half a kilometer away. I told them to message me when they are done eating but they never did, they either forgot about me or didn't even care about me, either case, to know that made me sad. I don't know where will I reach, I failed the same school year twice, and changing schools to go to an art high school 30 kms away from me. I started looking for a job for summer. And maybe, end this chapter of my life before stepping in a new one.

2023.06.02 00:04 AntEnvironmental3811 Parents kicked me out bc of things 5 years ago

I’m 24f and got kicked out of my parents home today. I am in grad school and have objectively been a great daughter and sister. Never been in trouble with the law, no STDs/pregnancy, don’t disrespect my parents, etc. There is really no reason for my parents to kick me out as they have loved me and have wanted to support me while I’m going to school. Unfortunately a few nights ago my brother decided to spill all of my deep secrets to my mother bc I was shitting on his gf (which I should have never done however it was nothing more than mere gossiping to my mom). The things he told my mom are average teenage/early 20s decisions like drinking and some sexual partners (my body count is 3). These decisions have never impacted my life and are things my parents would have never known if my brother keep his promise, as we have dirt on each other that we promised to never tell our parents. My brother is 20 so we are close enough in age to where I thought I could trust him and we have always been really close and best friends. I just feel really betrayed by him and my mom seems to be overreacting. I’m sorta lost in how to approach this I already apologized to my parents and have tried to show them how I’m different now since I have a 3.6 in law school, drink responsibly around twice a month and have a bf and have not been casually seeing anyone for 2 years. Would love some advice on how I should respond to this situation or if I should cut off my parents since that’s what they want to do with me.

2023.06.02 00:02 Yousaidthat I.. don't think I'm the first one to wake up anymore...

Hi...
So. I don't really know how much time I have left -- but I'm hoping I can maybe find someone else who has experienced this before ... or maybe just warn others. Before this week, I'd never had any kind of mental health issues beyond the odd bout of anxiety or depression. No history of anything severe in the family either. This all just... came out of nowhere.

So on Tuesday morning, early -- like, before 7 or something, my partner woke me up with her usual morning routine. Shower, sink, etc. etc. Nothing out of the ordinary - Usually I have my roll around the bed in existential denial and then get up to brew us some coffee. Now, I obviously fit in my denial roll but when I tried to sit up... it happened.
My dog, a small little dachshund, started growling and snarling viciously. At the same moment... it was like I lost forward motor function in body. Everything gave out in my back and my head hit the pillow. I lost consciousness. I don't know how long I was out but when I woke up, I had several texts from my partner with varying levels of concern ...basically just telling me to go to bed earlier tonight so I can get up and have breakfast with them the next day.
Weird... but forgettable.
But that was just how it started.

Because the next day, it was basically the same thing -- stirring in the morning, rustle, rustle, roll roll -- sit up - dog growls - fall back to sleep. When I woke up, I had no texts at all. Shit, she must be really pissed at me. So I texted her right away.

"Hey babe! I'm so, so sorry about that! I don't know what's going on, I swear I came to bed at a normal time."
I sat there stewing for a second. That's when I noticed my dog was sleeping on the floor on the other side of the room.. well, not sleeping. Watching me. A chime from my phone --
"What are you talking about? You got up and we had breakfast together...We did a lot more than that lol. You made me late for work... you just wouldn't stop. It was hot though ;)"
I still remember the mixture of confusion, anger and...jealousy?? that hit me immediately. All the obvious questions hit me and none of them had any reasonable answers. What was going on with me? Was I going into a miniature fugue state?? But what kind of fugue state lasts 2 hours? It fucked with me... hard, that first day. I didn't want to worry her but I knew it was going to be hard to keep it from her.
So I had an idea. I would try recording myself. I've got a small nanny cam from when we had someone dogsit (i know, I know) and I placed it inconspicuously on top of one of our shelves so it would catch my attempt to sit up. I wanted to see if it looked like anything was giving out in my back.. or even how long I stayed asleep. I just had to make it through the night without weirding out my partner too much... which turned out to not be an issue. She was all over me when she got home and, honestly, we tired ourselves out. I meant to do some sort of prep-work or something before the next day but honestly I just passed out.
And when I woke up I had 5 text messages from my partner.. and instead of it being 10 or so in the morning, it was almost 6 in the evening. My chest and body were burning with... scratch marks... all over them. The room was chaos. Bed sheets strewn around and dressers knocked over. I had dried blood all over my shirt and the camera was smashed into fragments against the far wall. I opened the texts.
"Why did you do that to me?"
"I don't know anything about that camera.. I can't believe you would act like such a psycho and not believe a single thing I told you."
"I don't think I can ever trust you again, Stephen. My brother is going to be by later to get my stuff. Don't even ask about Dobie."
The next two were from much later in the day. Tears welled up in my eyes as I felt my world come unglued.
"If you ever come near me again I'm calling the cops. I don't know what's happened to you but you need to seek professional help.. right away. I could barely keep my coworkers from calling the cops on you. What were you even trying to say?? Look I don't even want to know -- you need help."

At this point I was sobbing quietly into my hand. I felt so alone and completely unhinged. My eyes scanned the room for answers or explanations. They came to rest on something, finally, as I read the last text sent 20 minutes ago,

"Stephen... has Alex come by yet? He was supposed to be back an hour ago."

I haven't done very much since reading that text - I don't know what's going to happen next. I don't think I'm very good at hiding bodies.

2023.06.02 00:01 930musichall Bathroom dilemma

I'm renting an apartment and the current bathroom lighting/setup just doesn't vibe with me. I thought it would be easy to fix but the complication is with the light switch.
The light switch in the first picture turns off the lights AND the outlet. And there's no easy way to remove the existing light fixture. The thought of having these lights on all night really kills the cozy feeling.
So i'm running through options
  1. Running an extension into the bathroom (sounds bad because electricity?)
  2. Possibly trying to disable the lights by opening up the fixture? I want to install my own warm LEDs.

2023.06.02 00:00 fighterace00 Creator Bio: Xzanium

Xzanium made their first entrance to a Kebble Sub in 2018 being added to throwaway_the_fourth's edefinition (gen 3). In a few short years, the self proclaimed 23 year old INTJ from India would prove to have one of the biggest impacts on the kebbleverse than any one person save Kebble himself. Over 28 subs have been confirmed to be by their design and some say the true number is over 50.
Like many kebble mods, Xzanium is no stranger to sub drama. They're notorious for proclaiming a goal to create 10,000 kebble subs and are known to have attempted recruiting programmers and mods to help reach that goal. One commenter said there was a vote underway to ban them from edefinition for eugenics speech but left the sub first. They've been the target of complaints on TheseFuckingAccounts with accusations varying from 'they created surveys to sell user data', to 'they invite so many members from anime and MBTI subs as a dating ploy'. A thread on AskReddit singled him out as having old connections to EKOA cult. Though according to the timing and wording of the recruitment post it appears to be a discord server recruiting the same type of people they find to join kebble subs. Their post history and subs that have published which subs users are invited from indicate interests in atheism, MBTI (INTJ,INTP), anime, NSFW anime, universities, dating, technology, and history. Several subs were created under the guise of being a private Kebble sub but were later opened to the public without warning and revealed to be part of a plot to recruit cult members.

Quotes:

I mean he's not a bad guy through and through like most believe, he has an intolerance for idiocy like the best of us, only his threshold is a hell of a lot lower, that's the issue. His superiority complex is very much present, he does genuinely believe he sits high above others in most aspects. You can tell its real because its not only his, big omnipotence esc acts, but in smaller ways like being disrespectful of people's time when replying (or not for that matter) to messages, or opting to "tell" rather than "ask" when he needs you to do something for him. The thing he doesn't realise is he is a pretty cool guy who is deserving of respect for the empires he has built on reddit, he's bloody good at what he does. The [REDACTED] is a great example of that, he used his skills and a bloody GOOD, wholesome, community came out of it. He's searching for praise, and attention and he could get it but he's uses all the wrong avenues. If he got down off his high horse once in a while and mingled with the pesants below he'd realise that he doesn't have to hold himself in such high regards they would do it for him lol

Am I a Worthy Heir to Kebble's Legacy?
~FalconRemembrant

Fun fact: I made u/FalconRemnsicent which got shadowbanned on arrival.
~NotFalconRemniscent

That's why I will spend years analyzing every aspect of a potential partners personality before I start a relationship. Don't wanna deal with breakups.
~ ninjapretend
I MADE ONE DATING THREAD!!!
ONE, JUST ONE!!!
~ xzanium7
I add 400-500 each week, and 450+ are always yeeted in the culling.
~ xzanium
Mostly it is something like:-
targetSub = "theCalaisPlan" subreddits = "intp+intj"
~ xzanium 2020
I'm trying to make a better version of edefinition, the sub that I was randomly added to.
~ xzanium 2020
EKOA is an organization I founded. I've put its recruitment copy-pasta here a few times.
INTP/INTJ.
Irreligious.
Likes science. Science is important.
Is weird and takes pride in it.
A smart person with lots of potential, who may or may not actually work to realize it. Eccentric in nature, this person makes you think that being a genius has its drawbacks.
Their sexual behaviour involves trying to find true love, they are uninterested or look down upon the concept of casual sex.
Is slightly narcissistic, with a bit of a superiority complex. Or was, and changed for some reason.
~ xzanium 2020

So yes, me and a few other people were involved in cultish behaviour, around this organization called EKOA. No that has nothing to do with this subreddit here. I've long moved past EKOA. It is history now.
~ xelnerot 2020

Yeah theCalaisPlan was the recruiting ground for EKOA.
~ xelnerot 2020

We mostly just talked about stuff and get pushed by our leader to recruit more. Eventually he abandoned it and then so did I.... Just what regular people talk about on discord servers, nothing special. Someone got a girlfriend, someone pirated a game, discuss the ethics of piracy, and all that.
~ xelnerot 2020

There are a lot of these communities, all with the same idea. Users are randomly invited in, given a numeric flair, and inactive users are removed every week. Some examples are : 118, redefinition, TheChosenFew etc. I was just like you all, invited into one of them, and now with my python skills, I seek to replicate the community, a thousand times over! So yes, that's why you're here. If you're not interested, there is the (leave) option near flair assignment in old reddit.
~ xelnerot 2020

No, I'm not doing anything with your info.
~ xelnerot 2020

I'm not lying. Yes I am creating a lot of these subs, but how is that related to all that business with Xzanium?
~ xelnerot 2020

That's because I'm using the scripts he gave me.
~ xelnerot 2020

Here is what I have been accused of, and here I tell you people the truth. ~ xelnerot 2020

Drama explained to those who aren't fully aware:
Xelnerot claims to have 70 of these type of subreddits, although it is not proven.
Xelnerot seems to have some sort of connection to other secret subreddits.
Xelnerot said he wants 10,000 of these subreddits. The post has since been removed, although another user from thesefuckingaccounts has claimed Xelnerot has said something similar.
Another user called u/Xzanium (who seems to be banned) may be connected to Xelnerot. Certain post similarities are present, especially their connections together.
Xelnerot does not deny that he had a connection with Xzanium, although he does deny that he is Xzanium.
Of Xzanium and Xelnerot are connected, it'd explain Xelnerot's connections to secretive subreddits.
Some are given the impression that surveys in this subreddit are a way to sell information to others, although this is extremely unlikely.
The name of the post the Ynolek bot posts has a concerning title. (The culling) This leads others to believe it is a cult.
Searching "Xzanium" on Reddit will result in similar things to this subreddit and other popular secret subreddits, along with certain connections to Xelnerot.
If Xzanium and Xelnerot are the same person, then Xelnerot is breaking ToS by evading a ban issued by Reddit moderators.
Also, Xelnerot seems to know about a secret subreddit with the name of corrila however searching "Xzanium" this subreddit will also come up, indicating their connection.
Basically, some of think it's shady and the motives are unknown
~ MrNonsenseYT 2020
I was in one of his original earlier groups (under the username Xzanium), and can probably answer some questions.
Basically he wanted to set up a group of people similar to himself, because he was terrible at making friends IRL, probably because he's (1) awful and (2) obsessed with IQ tests and MBTI, (3) a giant weeb, (4) overly preoccupied with finding a girlfriend as rational, high IQ, intx, and narcissistic as he claims to be. Then he decided to start an 'international club with chapters' surrounding introversion, anti-casual sex, and narcissism at colleges. Ask UAuckland, and they'll have stories.
He also had a weird thing with stalking MIT. Then he decided to create a dating app, and again desperately wanted to push it at MIT.
Then everyone was like "You're a creep, cut it out" and he was like "I don't even want to be friends with you guys anyways and I don't want to be liked in your stupid shiny clubhouse that I built myself specifically to make friends (who now think that I'm a POS)."
Then he really went off the fucking rails, and started pushing eugenics and making posts about how he doesn't respect any religion and how he is a feminist because he enjoys watching lesbian porn. Along the way he set up Xelnerot as an (exceptionally transparent) sockpuppet account.
Then he decided that even though everyone hated him there, if he made 10,000 of them, by the laws of probability he would have to get a gf or at least someone who actually liked him from one of them.
Then he got banned, and the sockpuppet took up the torch of making senseless subs (though the one all this went down on is now closed to him). Which brings us to the present day.
What questions specifically do you have?

2023.06.01 23:57 Lower-Reward-1462 34 / PC / Central Time -- Really miss having a friend to game with

I dream of one day having a good close friend that I play video games with everyday. I've slowly lost all my gaming friends through the years and I seriously miss it. I don't really know how to go about finding a friend to play with. I've tried playing with random people in Last Epoch, for example, but it's just not working out. I don't want to play some random game that is boring alone, like, say, New World, just to look for a friend. It sounds a bit much.
So I'm looking for people here, though it doesn't seem to be working that well either. People keep ghosting me with no explanation why. But who knows, maybe one day the perfect person will come along and read this. And it only takes one person, right?
Gaming alone is not nearly as fun. I don't really care what game we play, as long as we're having fun. That said, here's some games I like:
I just got Age of Wonders 4 and have been playing it a lot in my free time. I have never played an AoW game before. I also just got Darkest Dungeon 2.
Just before that, I had gotten back into Last Epoch, with the 0.9 patch that released not long ago, and now multiplayer is a thing! I mostly played my offline necromancer by myself, but let's make new toons together and play together!
I also like Old World some, but have never played it with another person. Maybe we could, if you want?
Aside from that, I used to play Hearthstone a lot. But not anymore. I would love to find a new TCG/CCG type game to play. Not Marvel SNAP or Legends of Runeterra.
Would also like to find someone to play Slay the Spire with too where we watch each other. I'm not sure about the co-op mod as I hear it sucks, but maybe. I've played it a lot and have beat Ascension 20 and then some with the Silent, been getting into the Defect some but don't play the other 2 classes at all. Would love to have someone to play this game with or show them the ropes.
And I play some other obscure titles like Thea 2. Would be nice to find somebody to play that with.
I would really love to find someone to introduce a new game to me in a genre I like. TCG, MMO, ARPG mainly. Really, I'm just looking for a friend to play with that is fun and we get along. That's all that really matters. Sucks playing alone every night.
MMORPG's I have played and enjoyed include Elder Scrolls Online, ArcheAge, Bless Unleashed, New World, and Wakfu. I would love to get back into one of those with someone! I'm NOT interested in playing FFXIV, WoW, GW2, or Lost Ark! Don't ask! If you know of any other good MMO's, though, let me know and maybe we can play it together. Though I could definitely have fun playing one of those MMO's I've played before if I was playing with the right person.
ARPG's I have played and liked in the past include Path of Exile, Last Epoch, Diablo 3, Undecember, and Grim Dawn. I think I might be permanently done with playing PoE alone, but would like to try playing it with someone else, especially someone knew who I could teach everything to. Diablo 4 looks lame.
A little about me: I'm 34 years old, live in the US in central time zone, and live alone with my 2 cats. I'm looking for friends to game with because I don't really have many. I'm online every night and usually gaming! I'm super friendly and talkative and looking for the same, and someone who has time to talk and to play. I'm also LGBTQ+ friendly in case that needs to be said. Also looking for people who have a sense of humor. I don't care about your age as long as we get along. Voice chat is mandatory (sorry!).
I pretty much game 24/7 when I'm not working or sleeping. I usually get home around 5 or 6 PM central time (sometimes earlier or later) and usually go to bed around 3 or 4 AM. You can add me on Discord: MeltedWater#9972 (Please don't message me here on Reddit, the messages aren't going through for some reason.)

2023.06.01 23:56 DumitruMD A Story.

This is an unfinished story, and it might not end until my death or self-improvement and finding self-meaning.
I find it hard for me to understand the reason behind my loneliness. I was a smart kid, I knew how to read at the age of five and for the first 6-7 years in school I was the smartest boy in class. Oh, I wish I would have had.the same determination as I had back then. Nowadays I just play in the phone, draw or think about meanings, truths and what made me like this. I am a lonely person. But I will start from the very moment that I felt I was not meant to be with the others. Odd or not it started at kindergarden. I think even before I started to learn to read and calculate from my mother(I knew how to do 2-3rd year of school calculations on paper using the "column" method that my mother taught me).Apparently she tried to teach my brother that is a year and 4 months younger than me read at 5-6 years old just like me but he had no interest. It seems that only I had such interests and determination. Still, I wasn't phisically healthy either, I would inevitably catch a cold at least once a month because of my weak imune system. I remember trying to enter in the social group of kids by trying to do just like they did to see if I would get anywhere. Surprising or not, nothing changed and they probably got more grossed out. I still I had a friend, my neighbour, he was only 4 months older than me so we were the same age. In my first year of school I was the smartest kid in math because of my already advanced knowledge and experience with it. I do like math, even nowadays. I did get bullied a bit in my first 2 years of school but my naive mind didn't really get what that was and thought it was just a play, if you wonder why I was bullied, I think it was because of how weak I was. Literally even a girl could win against me in a fight.
Shortly after my parents divorced as well, weird it was that I did not cry even if I understood what was happening, I literally remember seeing my brother cry yet I couldn't shed a tear. Was I insensitive, or maybe my logic and insight told me that I shouldn't cry because I will still see my father often(he was the one that left). I asked a year ago why the divorce happened, and it wasn't any cheating involved. It actually might be worse because of the type of person my father was. I still have half of the story missing that my mother doesn't tell me but my father told me he will explain everything when I will be 18.(2 years from now as I currently am 16).
I continued being lonely in school because my friend was in another class and I had none close in mine. But this wasn't much of an issue as it didn't bother me as much as it did later on.
We now jump a few years later of this rythm of loneliness in school, going to my dad for the weekends every 2 weeks and my average day to day studying and playing with my friends. My mom and dad had now new partners so I got 2 more brothers and a sister. Why did I say "jump" back a few words ago because now we reach the part where my mom and step-father immigrated to Italy for a year then taking us with her. I hoped I will be able to escape my loneliness there, I even studied the language for a few months before immigrating. I got in school, the children there were just a few months younger than me(because of the difference of school system I couldn't advance to the level where children of my age were, I still didn't really care tho).
You know like that moment when you expected something that could make you feel better and then end up realizing a disappointing and sad truth? I felt it when I thought that I finally had a friend group here, 2000 kilometers away from my friends from my home country. I was still lonely, and it hurt, I couldn't speak their language as good as they did. When I thoughts I had finally made a connection with someone it made me sad to realize the only connection was that of "acquitances" and no, that's not something they told but something that it seemed and felt like. Even if I would talk to them often I was the one always left behind, I would meet them gathered in the park randomily when I didn't even know about it. It seems like I had no place anywhere I went. Does it hurt? It does, quite a lot, a year after that I had times when my chest felt in pain, and I was grabbing my own face talking to myself "Just a bit, just a tad bit more and we will escape this loneliness". I did escape of that pain but never of loneliness. I would look myself in the mirror and ask myself "is this what I was supposed to be?" "Is this even who I truly am?" "Where is the tiny boy I knew and was?" "Did my masks cause this?". I would question myself, think, swimming in an ocean I was once drowning in, living in it like a fish would. Swimming thru this life I obviously had times when I thought of "self-erasure" but I didn't think of doing it simply, I wish my "cancelment for life subscription" was accidental or that it would be a sacrifice for someone else so that I wouldn't make my family sad to put a blame on them for my possible "self-erasure". I have these toughts and actions go pretty unnoticed, my family actually can call me iresponsable or insensible often. I once told my mom about my loneliness and guess what she said "friends come with time". A bit later when I failed the school year she had a different response. "None will want to be friends with someone who is stupid" she said. Those 2 frases hurt me in 2 different ways, the first one literally pained me and had me question myself "How much longer do I have to wait?" For the second one my thougths were " But what about those first 7 years of school, I was literally the smartest boy in my class?". I still love my mother. But I love my dad more right now. He was more gentle and suportive. When my mom wouldn't care about my hobby of drawing, my dad will listen to my manga ideas, would look at my drawings and even watches what I do on Instagram even tho he isn't familiar with it. The last straw, that made me write this was because of something that happened recently. One of my classmates made a poll with "who is going out for a sushi and at the lake?" I said yes together with 9 others. I didn't have enough money for sushi and left them there while I went home as I lived only half a kilometer away. I told them to message me when they are done eating but they never did, they either forgot about me or didn't even care about me, either case, to know that made me sad. I don't know where will I reach, I failed the same school year twice, and changing schools to go to an art high school 30 kms away from me. I started looking for a job for summer. And maybe, end this chapter of my life before stepping in a new one.

2023.06.01 23:54 twistedracoon [CONTEST] B-B-B-BOOOOOKS (pt6)

WELCOME BACK!!
Greetings folks! It’s that time of month again!!
For those who didn’t catch this the last few months, I’ve decided that I’m going to do a book-themed contest each month this year! This is the JUNE Edition! Sadly, there will not be a July edition, as I will be at ROTC training for almost the entirety of June and July, and won’t have time to hold the contest. Fear not, as it will most certainly resume in August!!
Each month is going to have some sort of theme, and your job is to find a book that relates to the theme of the month, BUT that also encompasses ALL OF the themes of the previous months.
Now this can be as absolutely random and creative as you want. Make connections that wouldn’t hold up anywhere, compare cats to spoons, whatever you want, just figure out how to connect the things together to explain how the book you want is related to them. Of course, this will get more complicated month by month, so you’ll have to get creative! All of the themes must be included for you to qualify! We’re now at 6 (God help us all) so let’s see what you can do!
• • •
This month, make sure your book is around $10. It can be kindle or a physical copy, whatever you want!
THEMES
January - Animal(s) 🦘
February - Cold 🥶
March - Sleep 💤
April - Night ✨
May - Fast💨
June - Hot 🥵
This months theme is “hot”, because it’s been 92 degrees outside recently and I don’t have air conditioning. Now again, this can be anything you can relate to “hot”. Be as creative as you want! Connect random sh*t! Have fun with it! As long as you can connect all six things to your book, you’re golden, no matter how random the connections may be!
• • •
Rules
  1. Find a way to incorporate ALL OF THE THEMES! Get as creative as you can!
  2. DBAD
  3. If your book is physical, be in the US. If it’s digital, you can be from anywhere!
  4. Have a book under $15 on your list
  5. Have gifted within the last two months (I will check!!)
  6. Have the word “hot” in your response for the randomizer!
Optional; Tag a friend!
Contest will end sometime tomorrow afternoon (6/2).

2023.06.01 23:53 overnightgamer Novice looking for advice

Hi everyone,
I am planning my next 'self-help' project as I am on the right track with my weight.
My goal is to put 1hr aside each night to learn then create a game that has been in my head for some time now. I just need a little help to push off into the right direction.
So, I'm going to try bullet point my plan and really simply then describe the game I am aiming to make. Please criticize away, I'm more than happy to hear your thoughts.
The game I want to make is based on the industry I am in. I think it would be a fun simulation/RPG game.
So the main parts would be as follows:
  1. Entering the 'stage' in a Pokemon style movement/aesthetic (stage limited to an area the size of Pallet town) with access to item inventory
  2. Engagement of equipment to be a new single screen with light animations and adjustments to equipment with toolbar of items to use (looks a little like papers please)
  3. Ingame shop to upgrade or purchase items
This is a really simplified description but I really just don't know what would work. I would really like to have it on all platforms as I get more advanced in development but to start I feel android would suffice.
I really look forward to your responses.
Thanks
Turtle

2023.06.01 23:51 Frosty_Smoke3705 AITA telling my BF that our daughter will not be around his mom much and definitely not a stepdad

I’m currently 7 1/2 months pregnant (18F) and have been with my BF (20M) for about three years. Now my boyfriend and I have had infidelity in the past before, a lot. Unfortunately it has messed me up and caused me to overthink every situation and think that he’s doing the worst. Some backstory, I’ve been around my boyfriend’s family for a long time always hanging out with them, always going on trips, being there on certain holidays, I was just always around, until I got pregnant. Yes, my boyfriend and I argue a lot but we are learning and growing. We were kids when we got together and didn’t know how to value a relationship so it’s been hard trying to get out of that stage to be a fully committed family together. Everything has been pretty good so far except for his parents.
When I found out I was pregnant my boyfriend was in New York picking up his older friend. Not to mention he’s lived above me for about two years now in a two-part house. We decide to go upstairs to go tell his parents. I was already nervous and my parents were completely okay with everything and we’re by my side. She seemed shocked and his stepdad just seemed out of it completely. Now I just thought that they were in shock because his stepdads daughter was also pregnant. So I thought it would just be good to give them time to realize what was actually happening. So my boyfriend would spend most nights with me. One day I was allowed to come upstairs and his stepdad told us that the sleepovers have to cut down a lot.
I was confused as to why because I would get them up for work on time and he would do whatever he needed to do still. So after while we cut down. My boyfriend and I would argue. I would tell him how he’s not understanding how I feel about certain things or that he wasn’t taking me seriously. I started to feel my intuition tell me something was off with his phone and I asked him if I could see it he made it a big problem and wouldn’t let me and he went upstairs.The next day I asked him if he can come down to talk things out and show me and prove to me he’s serious about our relationship. What he told me made me flip shit it was the last straw for me. He said depends. He’s cheated a lot over the past 2 1/2 years on the phone on Snapchat, Instagram, dating apps, and more. I’ve caught him a lot and still stayed. Every time it hurt and made me think differently of myself. Now that I am having a daughter of my own I know that I do not deserve that.
So when he didn’t want to talk about things or show me his phone, everything of his and he gave me I started to throw out the window. My question is why did it take me to lose my shit for him to actually be serious with me. After many times where I forgave him and took him back and gave him more chances. After that we talked about things and figured it out. Yes there were things on there that I did not like and I told him the next time it happens I have to walk away. I reminded him how would he feel if a boy would ever do that to our little girl how would it make him feel. It has now been about five months and I’ve only been upstairs about two or three times. I’m getting to the point where it’s not right because they have another son and he is with this girl and she has been up stairs recently a lot. Now I’m realizing they didn’t need time to realize that I was pregnant they just didn’t want me up there because I was pregnant.
His own stepdad told me he wish I wasn’t pregnant. Now he had his first kid at 10 years old, altogether he has five kids. He has told me stories about how he messed around with many girls especially while with my boyfriends mother. Hearing that made me think that’s why boyfriend would cheat on me. That’s all he saw around the seven years that his stepdad has been with his mother. His stepdad would always hand us some weed to go have fun with. I would let my mom know just so she knows I’m safe while doing it. She understood that I am at the age where I’m going to try new things and do it either way. She just wants to make sure I’m safe.
His mother and my mom have argued a few times she thought I was trying to trap him but that was not true. I had to get my gallbladder removed and it was causing acid reflex and I could not take my birth control or my Zoloft medication and he knew. He still wanted to do it knowing the consequences that could happen. And that’s how I got pregnant. My boyfriend told me that they didn’t want me up there anymore and he respected that. Which I completely understand but it’s not fair because I know once my little girl is born they will try and have just her up there and I will not be okay with that.
They would always call me family to them. Now I just feel like I’m the baby mama. My boyfriend told me that his mom wants to take our baby when she’s around two years old with his brothers and his grandma to Disneyland or World one or the other. I asked what about me what he told me is that it’s a family thing that they do during the summer. Him saying that hurt, like I’m not family but he might have not meant it that way, but either way I told him she would not go not unless I would go. He said if anything he’ll just pay for my ticket. That’s not the point though after me being around for so long I’m not allowed to go on family trips anymore? I’m having two whole different baby showers one for my side of the family one for his side of the family. Now I understand that means double and more things which I don’t mind but why couldn’t we just have a big one. I understand that they’re both pretty far distances away but still it makes me think.
I recently argued with him that our baby girl is not going upstairs whatsoever when his stepdad is around or won’t be up there much. I’ve been upstairs once in a while but once his stepdad is on the way home I have to go back downstairs to my house. It’s mainly his stepdad but his mom is completely okay with it. That’s what I think is wrong, they haven’t been around my whole entire pregnancy I don’t want to give birth to my daughter and then all of a sudden they want my daughter upstairs all the time. It may be petty but it’s unfair to me, it’s like once I got pregnant they treated me completely different. His stepdad has a drug problem, and his mother has an alcohol problem, I don’t really want my daughter around that. my boyfriend recently told me the reason why I’m not allowed upstairs, I think there’s more to it though. His mother was drunk once and decided to call CPS on his stepdad’s niece. So if I’m being honest I don’t trust his mom and I don’t trust his stepdad.
So I told my boyfriend that our daughter will not be around them alone without me. I told him he will not bring her up there even if it’s to let me sleep. I will go anywhere my daughter goes. If they do not like the fact that I will be with her every single time she’s around them they do not have to see her at all. AITA?

2023.06.01 23:49 prime2608 Confusion

Confusion
Warning!!!Long post ahead.
So last year i(29M) started working on my startup around april. During that time i managed to gather a 11person team. Then i needed a content writer. So one of my co-founder reffered a girl(22F) whom he friends with. I hired her and started working with her through phone call on a daily basis. At first i was hasitant to talk anything beside the work but after some time when she started to open up about her past and her family so i thought she is being friendly and started to talk about personal stuff also. So a friendship began during that time i was dating my ex and she was also dating someone. So around july she broke up with that guy whom she was dating.
Then our conversations through phone increased apart from work hours. During that time i used to do parties in my home she is always seems so excited to come to my house. She used to be super flirty, i have to hold back. (Its not that i am shy i have been with 7 girls in my life but have to mantain the boss figure) warned her many times that don't wanna talk but she's always like a chatterbox. So around october one day she was behaving like a child constantly trying to annoy me for 2/3 days. So i asked my cofounder to talk to her so which she said to him that she was taking a revange on me because acc. to her i was trying to be bossy and doesn't respect her. I was super annoyed that day so by evening she was trying to annoy me more it was like she was waiting from a reaction from my end, she was calling me every 15-30 mins to rescedule the time for work happend atleast 6/7 times that evening. I waited till 11.30 that night then called and lashed out at her.( i know super fu○king wrong, have no right to lashed out on someone). On the very next day called her appologised her for my behaviour and told her my situation that, why i lost my controll. And my breakup with my ex and the problems with investors. That night for the very first time i felt something about her. The way she was trying to giving me the solutions and courage. I was just awwstrucked.
So started developing feelings. But deep down felt wrong because didn't want her to be a rebound. Then after 15/20 days when we met again in my house party something triggered in us both we had our first touch that day spent the entire evening in the kitchen. I was cooking and she was helping me with dishes. Felt i found the one that day. Then our bond gets stronger after that started talking more and more after work like 4/5 hours everyday. Then the day in november came when unknowingly i spilled her that i like her (never had any intention to say that) i know things were going to get fucked up from this point on because it was too early. Now she started distanceing her self. For 10 or 15 days i was quite at that time but after that she initiated contact and told me indirectly that she like me too. I didn't reacted that day. Acted like i didn't get what she was trying to say. After couple of days we had a fight because of the co-founder whom she was reffered by bcz he was always trying to slut shame her to me. And i told her the things he told me about her which she got furious that how i didn't take any stand for her or fight for her. Which i reassured her that i trust her and i don't believe what he was saying. So why wasting any energy trying to fight a person of that kind. We fought for 5hours that day ended up owning up my mistake that i let her down.
Again for 15 days no talk. And stared talking around mid december. Around that time she said that she is emotionally unavailable right now. So she doesn't want to start anything. Which i said okay. Knew she need peace and her time to sort out the things. And the problem started from there when she was trying to test me by trying to tell me about her guy friends. (Those guy friends with whom my cofounder try to associate her name with.) I try to stay calm but my evil brain trying to act extra smart and poked her by conffesing once again. (Just to keep her quite)She got extra furious that day. I said no worries i ll take it as a rejection and move on. After 2/3 days she again told me that she likes me. And after some day she was started to being flaky. From regular calling to 7/8days talking in a month. From past 3 months. During these months i asked her many times that if you want to leave you can. Which she denies every time when asked.because with her hot and cold behaviour my work from her end getting effected. (Main problem is i have to sit with her while working otherwise she can't write anything) Now the problem is
A. I can't kick her out from the company. It will leave a bad impression. ( also She work for INR5k a month part time which is so cheap) B. She is not leaving on her own. C. It seems impossible to separate proffesional and personal right now. D. To nail the coffin- (i now fucking love her)
TL; DR : working with the girl caught feelings had couple of f'ed up situations. Can't decide what to do.From past 3 months. During these months i asked her many times that if you want to leave you can. Which she denies every time when asked.because with her hot and cold behaviour my work from her end getting effected. (Main problem is i have to sit with her while working otherwise she can't write anything).

2023.06.01 23:49 FunkMeisterGeneral64 CPU light comes on after changing CPUs, then stops booting altogether

Let me put this in a timeline-
Last night: friend with more PC experience comes over to help me move from a Ryzen 1600 to a Ryzen 5700. He also moves my graphics card from the lower to the upper slot on the mother board (idk what they're called.) Get everything put back together. PC is turning on, but the CPU light is on too. It's late so he heads home.
This morning: Tried booting it again. Nothing happens.
Noon: Removed the fan and heat sink and inspected the Ryzen 5700. Nothing seems to be outwardly wrong with it. Carefully remove some excess thermal paste with rubbing alcohol. Put new fan and heat sink on that came with the new CPU. PC still boots, but CPU light remains on.
Early afternoon: Removed the new fan, heat sink, and CPU. Put in the old CPU and add the new heat sink and fan back. Now the PC won't even boot. I am still getting a power indicator from the power supply (goes on and off with the power supply switch.)
Late afternoon: Removed the new fan, heat sink and old CPU. Put the new fan and heat sink back on. PC still isn't booting.

Does anyone know what might be wrong? I also did some computer dusting throughout, and I noticed that if I angle the can down it shoots liquid, though I don't think I got any liquid on anything. I also noticed I had trace bits of dried thermal paste on a few fingers, though I looked pretty hard and didn't see any stray paste, nor did I touch anything besides the CPU and some fan cables. Really hoping I didn't just hose my PC by getting something in it.
My other parts:
GA-AB350-Gaming 3 Mother Board
Radeon 580 Graphics Card
Corsair CX550M Power Supply
32g of RAM (2 x G.skill Ripjaws DDR4 and 2 x Vengeance LPX DDR4)
4 TB hard drive (WD Blue)
Samsung SSD (idk how big it is)
The CPU fan and heat sink are AMD, idk what model. They came with the Ryzen 5700.

Slim Down, Feel Great: Expert Tips for Safe and Effective Weight Loss

1. Introduction

Weight loss is not just about achieving a certain physical appearance; it is primarily about improving your overall health and well-being. Shedding excess pounds can have a profound impact on your cardiovascular health, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, enhance mobility, and boost your energy levels.

2. Understanding Weight Loss

The Importance of Weight Loss

Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for your overall health. Excess weight puts strain on your organs, increases the risk of developing conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers, and can negatively impact your mental health. Losing weight can significantly reduce these risks, improve your quality of life, and increase longevity.

Health Risks of Being Overweight

Carrying excess weight can lead to various health issues, including high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, insulin resistance, sleep apnea, and joint problems. Additionally, obesity is associated with an increased risk of mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety. By shedding pounds, you can mitigate these risks and improve your overall well-being.

3. Setting Realistic Goals

Assessing Your Current Weight and Health

Before embarking on a weight loss journey, it is essential to assess your current weight and health status. Consult with a healthcare professional to determine your body mass index (BMI), which will help identify whether you fall within a healthy weight range or if you are overweight or obese.

Determining a Healthy Weight

Once you have evaluated your current weight, work with your healthcare provider to determine a healthy weight range for your body type, height, and age. This range will serve as a guideline for your weight loss goals, ensuring that you aim for a realistic and achievable target.

Establishing Achievable Goals

Break down your weight loss journey into smaller, attainable goals. Rather than focusing on losing a large amount of weight in a short period, aim for gradual and steady progress. Set weekly or monthly goals that are realistic and sustainable. This approach will help you stay motivated and prevent feelings of discouragement.

4. Healthy Eating Habits

Balancing Macronutrients

A balanced diet is essential for successful weight loss. Focus on incorporating all three macronutrients: carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats. Carbohydrates provide energy, while protein supports muscle growth and repair. Healthy fats, such as those found in avocados and nuts, help with satiety and nutrient absorption. Aim for a well-rounded diet that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

Portion Control

Portion control plays a vital role in weight management. Be mindful of the quantity of food you consume and avoid oversized portions. Use smaller plates, bowls, and utensils to trick your mind into thinking you are eating more. Chew slowly and savor each bite, allowing your body to recognize feelings of fullness.

Incorporating Whole Foods

Processed foods are often high in calories, unhealthy fats, and added sugars. Opt for whole, unprocessed foods whenever possible. These include fruits, vegetables, lean meats, whole grains, and legumes. Whole foods are nutrient-dense and provide essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that support your overall health and weight loss efforts.

Hydration Importance

Proper hydration is often overlooked but plays a crucial role in weight loss. Drinking an adequate amount of water helps maintain bodily functions, supports digestion, and can even help control appetite. Aim to drink at least eight glasses of water per day, and consider replacing sugary beverages with water to reduce calorie intake.

5. Regular Physical Activity

Types of Exercise for Weight Loss

Incorporating regular physical activity into your routine is essential for burning calories, increasing metabolism, and improving overall fitness. Engage in a combination of cardiovascular exercises, such as running, swimming, or cycling, and strength training exercises, such as weightlifting or bodyweight exercises. Cardiovascular exercises help burn calories, while strength training builds lean muscle mass, which can boost your metabolism.

Finding Activities You Enjoy

To sustain long-term exercise habits, it is important to find activities that you enjoy. Experiment with different forms of exercise to discover what works best for you. It could be dancing, hiking, playing a sport, or joining group fitness classes. When you enjoy the activity, it becomes easier to stay consistent and motivated.

Creating a Workout Routine

Developing a structured workout routine will help you stay on track with your weight loss goals. Schedule specific times for exercise and treat them as non-negotiable appointments. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week, along with two or more days of strength training exercises targeting all major muscle groups.

6. Managing Stress and Emotional Eating

Identifying Triggers

Stress and emotions can often lead to unhealthy eating habits. It is important to identify the triggers that cause you to turn to food for comfort or as a coping mechanism. Keep a journal to track your emotions and the circumstances surrounding your eating episodes. This awareness can help you develop healthier ways to manage stress and prevent emotional eating.

Adopting Stress-Relief Techniques

Finding effective stress-relief techniques can help reduce the likelihood of emotional eating. Engage in activities such as meditation, yoga, deep breathing exercises, or engaging hobbies to relax and unwind. These techniques can help alleviate stress and prevent it from negatively impacting your eating habits.

Seeking Support

Don't hesitate to seek support from friends, family, or professionals. Join support groups or enlist the help of a therapist or counselor who specializes in emotional eating. Having a support system in place can provide encouragement, accountability, and guidance throughout your weight loss journey.

7. Quality Sleep and Weight Loss

The Connection between Sleep and Weight

Getting enough quality sleep is often overlooked but is crucial for successful weight loss. Poor sleep can disrupt hormonal balance, leading to increased hunger and cravings, decreased metabolism, and reduced energy levels. Aim for 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night to support your weight loss efforts.

Tips for Better Sleep

Establish a consistent sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time each day. Create a relaxing bedtime routine to signal your body that it's time to unwind. Keep your sleep environment comfortable, dark, and quiet. Avoid caffeine, electronic devices, and stimulating activities before bed. By prioritizing sleep, you can optimize your weight loss journey.

8. Monitoring Progress and Making Adjustments

Tracking Your Food Intake and Exercise

Keeping track of your food intake and exercise is essential for monitoring progress and making adjustments along the way. Use a food diary or a mobile app to record what you eat, portion sizes, and your physical activity. This information can help you identify patterns, make informed decisions, and stay accountable to your goals.

Recognizing Plateaus and Adjusting Strategies

Weight loss progress may plateau at times, which can be frustrating. It's important to understand that this is a normal part of the process. When you hit a plateau, reassess your eating habits and exercise routine. Consider making changes, such as increasing the intensity or duration of your workouts, trying new exercises, or modifying your calorie intake. Small adjustments can reignite progress and keep you motivated.

9. Conclusion

Embarking on a weight loss journey requires commitment, patience, and a holistic approach. By setting realistic goals, adopting healthy eating habits, engaging in regular physical activity, managing stress, prioritizing sleep, and monitoring your progress, you can achieve safe and effective weight loss. Remember that sustainable weight loss takes time, and focusing on overall well-being is key. Stay motivated, be kind to yourself, and celebrate every milestone along the way.

10. FAQs

Is it possible to lose weight without exercise?

While exercise is beneficial for weight loss, it is possible to lose weight through dietary changes alone. However, incorporating regular physical activity enhances weight loss, improves overall fitness, and has numerous health benefits.

How much weight can I expect to lose per week?

Weight loss varies from person to person and depends on various factors such as current weight, metabolism, and adherence to a healthy lifestyle. A safe and sustainable rate of weight loss is around 1-2 pounds per week.

Are fad diets effective for weight loss?

Fad diets often promise quick results, but they are not sustainable or beneficial for long-term weight loss. Instead, focus on adopting a balanced, nutritious eating plan that you can maintain for the long run.

Can weight loss supplements help in the process?

Weight loss supplements are not a magic solution for weight loss. While some may offer temporary benefits, the most effective approach is a combination of a healthy diet, regular exercise, and lifestyle changes.

Is it okay to indulge in occasional treats while trying to lose weight?

Allowing yourself occasional treats in moderation is perfectly fine. It's important to maintain a healthy relationship with food and avoid feelings of deprivation. Enjoying a small treat occasionally can help prevent cravings and promote sustainability.

2023.06.01 23:46 carterchaseof The Exchange Student - Part Thirty Three (Gabriel)

Warning: previous chapters of this story have been updated with plot and character changes. Even if you've read them before, this chapter may not make sense unless you go back and re-read the last few chapters.
The Exchange Student Homepage
The next few days were a blur. I wanted to spend every waking moment (and all of my sleeping moments) wrapped around Isak. But school was fast approaching, and even though neither of us wanted to discuss it, I knew we had to decide what our plan was.
The fear of being outed at school started to keep me up at night. Sure, my parents knew and were weirdly cool with everything. But putting up with parents that are upset with you is minor compared to the judgmental stares and whispers that I knew would haunt me if people found out at school.
That combined with the stress of keeping secrets from Emma finally made me snap. Isak and I were laying on my bed when I pulled out my phone. I video called Emma and she picked up almost immediately.
“Oh hey, I was starting to feel like you two were ghosting me.” She put on a pouty face.
“About that…” I shifted nervously and Isak suddenly sat up, realizing what I was about to do.
Emma looked concerned but didn’t say anything.
“There is something that I have to tell you and you’re probably going to be pissed at me.” It was time for me to face the music.
“Jesus Gabriel, what have you done?” She sat down on her bed, preparing for the worst.
“I may have encouraged someone to shoot their shot with Ross.” Gabriel kept it vague to protect Reese.
Emma stared at the phone for a moment. I wasn’t able to read her reaction. “Is it safe to assume that based on your vagueness that this certain someone that you told to shoot their shot is a guy?” I glanced nervously at Isak and didn’t answer her question. “I’ll take that as a yes.” She didn’t seem upset, just confused. “Is Ross gay?”
I looked at Isak for help. He finally grabbed the phone from me. “The jury is still out on that one I’m afraid.”
“Well. Shit.” She looked a little disappointed, but not angry. “How come you never encouraged me to take a shot at him?” She asked.
“Didn’t seem like you needed it. You do a fine job flirting with him without my encouragement.” I explained.
“Yeah I guess you have a point there.” She seemed lost in thought for a bit. “So has this mystery man had any success?” I again looked to Isak for support. He had been the one that Reese gave nightly progress reports to.
Isak grabbed the phone from me. “Progress has been slow, but it's looking like there may be some mutual interest.” I thought back to the night after our trip to the lake with Ross. Reese had told us how he was teaching Ross to swim.
“I was holding onto his stomach for a super long time! And every time he swam off of my hands, his bulge would brush against them!” He was giddy with excitement.
Since then, he’d hung out with Ross a few times on their own. It had gone well apparently, but the topic of sexuality hadn’t come up and Reese wasn’t sure if Ross was being flirty back or was just being nice.
“Well if Ross turns out to like girls, can you at least put in a good word for me?” Emma rolled her eyes at us.
“Of course!” I grabbed the phone back. “Please don’t be mad. It just kinda happened and I’ve felt horrible about it for days.”
“Gabriel, I’ll never be mad at you for looking out for your friends.” She paused and put on a fake angry face. “Just don’t forget who your best friend is, okay?”
“Okay, promise.” I was relieved.
After getting off the phone with Emma there was only one thing left that I needed to do. It was time for the talk. I think that Isak could sense it. He kept giving me nervous glances.
I took a deep breath. “Okay so I’ve been thinking.” As soon as I started, Isak looked terrified. “I don’t think that I’m ready to be out at school.” I blurted out.
“Oh.” Isak seemed surprised by my statement. Apparently he’d been thinking I was going to say something else. “Okay, I totally get it.” He placed a hand on my knee and gave it a squeeze. “I thought you were going to say that you were having second thoughts about us or something.”
“Isak! If there is only one thing that I’m sure of in my life, it is that I love you with my whole entire heart and nothing, and I mean NOTHING will ever tear me away from you.” I placed a hand over his and gave it a squeeze.
“Does this mean that you want me to get back into the closet?” He didn’t seem upset, just unsure.
“I’m not sure.” I shifted uncomfortably. “I mean we’re out to my friends and family. So it's not like we’re really in the closet. Just at school maybe?” I felt like an absolute ass. Here I was claiming that he was the best thing that ever happened to me, and yet I’m acting like I was ashamed of him. Fuck.
“That’s fine. It’s not like people are going to ask me if I like guys right after I’m introduced to them anyways.” Isak pointed out. I guess he had a point. He may not even need to deny that he’s gay if it never comes up.. Right?
I leaned in for a kiss. Isak returned it, but it felt half-hearted. I ran a hand up his thigh. “Do you mind if we just watch a movie and snuggle? I’m not really in the mood.”
I nodded and tried not to look like I was upset. Isak had never turned down intimacy before. I know that eventually a night would come where one of us just wasn’t feeling it, but it didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that he wasn’t feeling it tonight because I told him that I wanted to stay in the closet. I wanted him to stay in the closet. I didn’t want to admit to people that we were dating.
He put on a movie and slid into bed with me. I draped my arm over him and held onto him. His body was radiating heat. My mind began to race over all the things that he and I had experienced together in the past few weeks. He’d been my first in so many things. First real kiss. First time having sex. First love.
Why was this so hard? Why did I have to choose between upsetting him and being ridiculed at school? It wasn’t fair. The first tear slipped out of my eye. Fuck people. Fuck everyone. Judgmental fucks. Another tear fell. Then another. I managed to stay silent. I didn’t want Isak to see me crying. I had to be strong for him, for us.
Why didn’t he understand? He’d come out back home and everything changed for him. He was miserable after he came out. People treated him differently. Why did he want me to suffer the same fate? He’s supposed to care about me right?
My mind started to spiral out of control. The first sob hit suddenly. Isak turned around with a surprised look on his face. The dam burst and tears erupted out of me. The sobs were uncontrollable. Isak wrapped his arms around me.
“Gabe, what’s wrong?” He caressed my hair and wiped the tears from my face.
“I’m scared.” I managed to get out between sobs.
“Shhhhh.” He tried to calm me down. “We don’t have to tell anyone. I promise I’m not mad.” He assured me.
“You’re not?” The sobs started to subside.
“No, we will wait until you’re ready. There is no rush.” He gave me a kiss.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, I’m sure. Here switch places with me.” He climbed over me so that he could be big spoon. I liked it when he was big spoon. I felt safe with him behind me.
Sleep evaded me that night. Try as I might, I couldn’t manage to get my brain to quiet down. I had everything I ever wanted laying behind me, but I was too scared to admit it.

2023.06.01 23:43 ALostBard Wegovy compared to Saxenda

Hello all, first time poster here. I've been on Wegovy for about a 6 weeks and thought I'd share my experience with Wegovy vs my experience on Saxenda (Liraglutide), which I was on in 2020-2021.

Baseline Stats

I am ~6'2" tall.
I took Saxenda from 2020-2021. When I started Saxenda I was ~255 pounds.
I'm currently taking Wegovy, and I'm in my 6th week. When I started I was ~267 pounds.

User Experience

From the experience of a user of both drugs, I find the Wegovy experience to be vastly superior. First off, once a week vs daily injections makes a huge difference. Second, the fact that the needle is fully contained in the Wegovy pen vs needing a separate prescription for needles for Saxenda definitely makes Wegovy a significantly better experience.
The only place that Saxenda gets maybe a little bit of a nod is the fact that the needles and the pens can be disposed of separately, i.e. needles in a sharps container (and since it's just the needle, much smaller container needed) vs Wegovy needing to dispose of the whole pen in the sharps container.
One other place where Saxenda maybe gets a leg up is that the dosage is somewhat more customizable, i.e. you dial in the amount you are injecting. While that also makes the experience somewhat less foolproof, for me it allowed me to find that dose that was "just right", which was not one of the "standard doses". I don't remember exactly what that dose was, just that it was in between a couple of the standard doses.
PSA: Novo Norodisk will send you a free sharps container.

Weight Loss Results

Saxenda

I responded very well to Saxenda. The first weekend I took it I lost ~5 pounds. I found that I basically lost some weight every day until I plateaued at ~236 lbs, and I maintained that until I came off Saxenda.

Wegovy

As mentioned above I am currently on Wegovy in my 6th week. I am down to ~250 pounds (from 267). Unlike with Saxenda, I have had days where I "went backwards", i.e. gaining a pound or more back. This is easily explained by the fact that I had exercised the day before, and therefore put on muscle. The fact that I have the energy to actually exercise while on Wegovy is probably a big deal (see the section below on Side Effects).

Side Effects

Overview

I found that the side effects I experienced on Saxenda were somewhat more severe than I have had on Wegovy. Another thing to note is that the side effects of Wegovy tend to wane during the week as the drug is eliminated from my system, whereas with Saxenda you are taking the drug daily. That said, I have had side effects from both, detailed below.

Saxenda

Wegovy

I hope this helps anybody who is considering these drugs. If you were to ask me which one I would recommend, it would be Wegovy without question. The User Experience alone is significantly better and I've found the side effects to be much milder than those of Saxenda.

2023.06.01 23:41 LamarcusAldrige1234 Trying to make sense of the scheduling announcements so far for the first 3 Saturdays of the college football season

Week 1
Time FOX FS1 BTN CBS CBSSN NBC
Early Day COL @ TCU USU @ IOWA FRESNO @ PUR BGSU @ LIBERTY
Late Day RICE @ TEXAS BUF @ WISC TOW @ UMD OH ST @ IU USF @ WKU TEN ST @ ND
Early Night UTSA @ HOU TOL @ ILL TTU @ WYO WSU @ CSU WVU @ PSU
Late Night SHSU @ BYU ID ST @ SDSU

Time ABC ESPN ESPNU SECN ACCN P12N
Early Day UVA vs TENN ARK ST @ OKLA LA TECH @ SMU BALL @ UK NIU @ BC
Late Day BOISE @ WASH UMASS @ AUB CAL @ UNT SE LA @ MISS ST WOF @ PITT POR ST @ ORE
Early Night UNC vs SC UNM @ TX AM S. ALA @ TULANE MTSU @ BAMA ODU @ VT NEV @ USC
Late Night CC @ UCLA N. AZ @ AZ
- This is just the Saturday schedule. It does not include the multitude of games scheduled on that Thursday, Friday, Sunday, or Monday.
- Some of the biggest games being broadcast outside of Saturday include: Nebraska @ Minnesota, Florida @ Utah, Kent State @ UCF, Louisville vs. Georgia Tech, Northwestern @ Rutgers, Oregon State @ San Jose State, LSU vs. Florida State, and Clemson @ Duke
- There are more streaming only games now than ever before. Every SEC team going forward has to have 1 game on ESPN+, and Peacock has the exclusive rights to 8 Big 10 home games plus 1 Notre Dame game a season.
- The first Saturday sees streaming exclusive games like: ECU @ Michigan, Mercer @ Ole Miss, UNI @ Iowa State, Colgate @ Syracuse, West Carolina @ Arkansas, UT Martin @ Georgia, Southeast Missouri @ Kansas State, Eastern Kentucky @ Cincinnati, Texas State @ Baylor, and Central Arkansas @ Oklahoma State.
- A big reason why so many of these games are going to streaming in Week 1 is that ESPN2 will only be broadcasting the US Open during this weekend.
- CBS is going to have an insane schedule this year. They are balancing the SEC's #1 games for the final season with 7 Big 10 games across the season, as well as the Mountain West's #1 games as well. This in-between year might create a big of confusion and less consistency in 2023 as to what games are where.
Week 2
Time FOX FS1 BTN CBS CBSSN NBC
Early Day NEB @ COL TROY @ KSU YT ST @ OH ST DEL ST @ ARMY
Late Day IOWA @ ISU RICH @ MSU / UTEP @ NW UNLV @ MICH WAG @ NAVY

- ESPN's late afternoon Saturday window is booked by the Women's US Open Final
- There are still a few games which do not have times set including: Illinois @ Kansas, Cincinnati @ Pittsburgh, Western Michigan @ Syracuse and Houston @ Rice. You would assume a few of those end up in the open ESPN2/ESPNU slots. There is also a slot reserved for a game on ESPN Friday Night that has yet to be filled.
