Hi everyone,
I'm writing an article on an absurdist approach to social work and wonder if any other social workers here would like to chat.
This approach doesn't appear to be well reflected in the literature but is worth considering for the field. It certainly flies in the face of expertise that holds on to objective and grand truths, so it's been a bit controversial with some of my colleagues. | r/absurdism | post | r/Absurdism | 2024-12-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyNzdPLS1TVDlIemg0T0g1NmZpWjdqaHl1ckEyVDA2U2ttVFZYXzJZb2FhSEZ5QTl3T2RER1Q4Q09wWW1Ka1Nxc25xZVNjT3BhNXc1Sm15bnhZUXNXZTZSOFlVRk5SNzRpYXVhTnYzekNJejQ9 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzenRuUG1QakwzSFFhUElObWI1aUtGMTY3dlFOUnpMeHN3eTl6aEFUTnBDU1R0eDQ0Uk9qRThlZjRVN254QVJnWGJ3QlVtSVRMb1IzSXpFcG5BTkhNVWpQaV9XNC02YkEyc0lrUkVUTF9lcW84MUZ1YnFOS0ZlSE5nX2sxRlh6bktyajB5bUdxVFBnNG5EWDUyRnZCOGc2a2dVOEYzaUYxYS1jd0xSNy03eXBnPQ== |
My husband has always been very attracted to me…and makes it known. He’s takes every opportunity during the day to push me up against a wall, down on the bed, or bend me over. Then he will go in for a deep kiss or say something sexual to me. When our child (almost 2 years old) walks into the room, he removes himself and carries on.
He also frequently says things to our child like “Go play in your room so mommy and daddy can play in their room” and winks at me.
I don’t know, is this normal or acceptable?? I have memories of my Dad doing similar things to my mom, but it made me (as the child) feel so uncomfortable. Should I talk to my husband about having this behavior around our child?
UPDATE: I had a gentle talk with spouse sharing much of the points mentioned in this thread. He was very receptive and has been so much more respectful! Communication is so key. 🔑 | r/mommit | post | r/Mommit | 2024-12-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyaXUzNXY2TUdKajhfb2xIU2J5V0hDZHVZNlY0UnZOTGtPeTh5SGJlYkRQTVlPakgtWm11X2YxMDRMQm01OHBCc3I3UF8zR0gxd2kybmhvbTlvM1M4MGVTcVh1Vl9kbkZ3cXRBa2FFZjVqNHc9 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzSHdQN0FPUjhXTDdzQkV5NE1LS0FBcGlsVmFaNDNhY2stdHo0cnJPRDVuSFJpYkVQV1VKSHg4dnhFOXAzMmM2NldSNjlNemZLTmtGcGxvWnphS1hpMlIxTDhkUnpyeWhSeFA2YTgzZEtoME5Jd1p6OXZ0ejdsTzlxeVo5VU9NZ1dGYXhJSXpaREY1eG51Y1psY3ZsTE01YWthbEg2QWkxZFNEVGMtSURwaVY0czNFR3VNZHFaaVNLZXJiNURSYXZ2TzdhZmY2SHg2QWJSTkVuWFY5N0tEQT09 |

Fanny packs. They're not just for your weird uncle anymore. Hikers, Dads and even Tacticool bros, are rocking these fanny packs. They're Cool, They're Hip, you totally just don't get it. Sometimes considered a Male Purse 'Murse' or when strapped over a should as a "Sling" it's a Fashionable way to signal you're carrying drugs for everyone!
# Price Bins:
Since Fanny packs can come in a variety of materials including EcoPak, Canvas and leather, and can be simple tools or complex ones or flashy statement pieces, there is going to be a huge range here.
* [Below $50](https://www.reddit.com/r/malefashionadvice/comments/1h4b4jt/comment/lzwzbkd/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button).

# Guidelines for posting here:
* I'll post price bins as top level comments. Post your in response to a price bin, as a second level comment. You can also use top level comments for general info, inspo albums, and general questions.
* Try to stick to one brand/strategy per second-level comment. If you want to recommend both Alden and Carmina, post them separately so people can vote and discuss separately.
* Include a link in your second-level comment if you can -- if not to a purchase page, at least to images.
* Try to use prices you might realistically pay. That might be MSRP, or it might not -- it depends. If you're in a cheap bin, maybe the best buying strategy is to thrift, or wait for a big sale. If you're buying from a store like Banana Republic, paying full price is simply incorrect -- the only question is whether you'll get 40% off or 50% off. So factor that in.
* The bins are in USD, so either use a US price, or convert a non-US price to USD to pick the bin.
* There is no time limit on this thread, until Reddit stops you from posting and voting. This thread will sit in the sidebar for a long time, and serve as a guide for lots of people, so help them out! | r/malefashionadvice | post | r/malefashionadvice | 2024-12-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyR2VBLTV5VF9tNE5Ha01TdExHLWdEV2RCZHRLSUQ2OEZLTS1jaGFDZFpmUXJtVTREc2pVQjF3eGVIbmNJQWd0WExLN09hV2hLZnhHWE5Ca1F3UGRaT0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzSzJGbEdNRENqZDg2ZnA0RVdsQURKZ3dPa2tucGFteWV4cTFEajdhT2tqWS14a1ZsbGFCVXR3N2k4MWdyWFZ4WVBZYl9DUTl2UHFROVlDOWtPWDdfWHVaWUhzT0ZkRFNoYUhDVDdzVGpoMkFlNWNJYlRaR2Rmd1JHQjYtbldzRFYyWDdVRWZOREMxYkRYbTFkYVI5UEVCUnpRQlNIWENGVERYRlZVbjc3U3NjRHlJbFhPY0RWcUxudXZYbXhBajB5 |

We were chilling in the parking lot of our hotel. She’s visiting Atlanta, and we went out for drinks for her birthday. When we got back at 1:18am, I was feeling sick and went to our room to vomit and pass out.
When I woke at 4am, I checked my texts and saw at 2:30am, she text “went out” and “be back soon.”
I tried calling for the next two hours but no response. Then I went driving around looking for her but couldn’t find her. It’s not like her to walk off, especially when she has her dogs in the hotel.
Finally, by 9 am, I involved the police. They met me at the hotel, took my statement, and investigated the hotel room and staff as to her whereabouts. Usually, the police don’t respond unless it’s over 24 hours of being missing, but Atlanta is the largest sex trafficking hub of the US, so they made an exception.
But finally, by 12:30pm, she walked into the hotel room. She said she took an Uber to a bar and tried to walk back to the hotel after her phone died, but she had to book a hotel room to stay at since she was already too drunk to walk further to the hotel.
I gave her a hug and explained my concern. She was acting like I overreacted, and kicked me out of the hotel room after police came back to verify her return in person. The police said she wasn’t in trouble, but they have to verify return in person for missing persons.
Did I overreact by calling the police? Should I have done nothing and stayed in the hotel room to take care of the dogs instead of worrying? On top of her going missing and the concern behind her disappearance, I was the last person seen with her, and doing nothing would have been bad if something happened to her.
Update: confronted her. She was with another man. Thanks for helping open my eyes. Take care
Update #2: for my safety, I recorded the conversation. If anyone wants to listen, DM me
Update #3: I’ll send the recording tmrw. But just learned that she doesn’t even have cancer… man I’m an idiot | r/amioverreacting | post | r/AmIOverreacting | 2024-12-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyVkRVdW5MUm5PLWtCRTZVZENfNVpPaWJCZXFFN3Vha1JLTjNGRHBLUlQ5NGUtODNmaVJlQjJyOVJHeFVSM2h6WXhVMmtfZzBTTjY2MWpObGlndEdoZVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzQ3ZPbk9pa01Md2pyU0lQbFBuVDRWaGo0R1Y3dkd0TUM0TDNOZ3g3ZVFqSXRWVkc4MjB3SnpJNFZucTFQU2prcTViX2xyZF9ScVZQeXlPRWhBbHpuUGJOdFZEYUtNS3JFX1pmT2REWTFJb0JQT0NaVFdmUUk5V3cyaXV1SnBCaGdDWTM1b085WkYzd3NrUWhpNjhEd21UV3p5TGpLZkM0RVFBb21GWEgxSDNyckpxR1hibndUV0xTcHowc1dEZmNzQU9nWHRYZUFDVXpTZWV0M3IxSTYzdz09 |

My bf [32M]and I [29F]are together for almost 3 years now. Our sex life was pretty good imho. Right up until till we moved in together.
When we moved in I also brought a box with some sex toys I barely used while dating him.
The first week we lived with boxes all over our place, it took us a while to unpack.
About 7/8 days after I was at work I got a message from carl “we have to talk”
He wouldn’t let me know what the topic was over the phone so when I rushed back home after work I was dumbfounded to find every box unpacked and a all of toys right on the diner table.
I asked him what this was about as he almost started crying and blurted out that he would never be enough for me as all my toys at least the incertible ones were way bigger than his penis.
I couldn’t help myself as I was a bit nervous to laugh awkwardly. The worst thing is that he also found a clone a willy box with the clone of one of my exxes I made years before. I swear I never used it while in our relationship it was in the box and I had forgotten about it.
All this happened 4-5weeks ago and we have not had sex since. Obviously we had tons of conversations/discussions about it but he still wont believe im satisfied with his member. I begged him to believe be but he just wont.
All he can think about is me playing with all my toys. Truth is I never use dildo’s I only use my satisfier or my magic wand as I cannot orgasm from penetration alone.
I don’t know what to do anymore I feel we are drifting apart.
Yesterday I confronted him after a week of not talking about this topic and tried to persuade him with a BJ. He told me to go fuck myself with Jacks hammer cock and kept ranting on how I should go list myself online as a dumb sizequeen looking for more.
This really hurt my feelings he never spoke like that about me.
I don’t know what I expect from posting this but clearly I need help figuring this out. I cant take any more fights on this topic. Im even thinking about leaving for a couple of weeks abroad as I have a opportunity to open up a new shop in madrid for my boss.
Please any advice is welcome
Update:
Lots of people seem to think I still knew I still had it. Thats false. I never used it after and only once or twice during my relationship with jack.
It was in storage after my break up I lived with my parents for a while and when we moved in our new place I cleared the storage unit planning on sorting everything out. If I would have opened “pandora’s box” myself I would have tossed it immediately.
Also I should have mentioned in defense of my bf that he had a awful ex who told him she broke up with him because of his small one. I told him dozens of times I enjoy his. And honestly don’t care thar he is below average.
We have used toys together but just the satisfier and the hitachi.
These reactions made it worse for me 😓

I had a boss ask me in an interview with 5 other men sitting around a conference table.
I couldn’t respond immediately because I was thinking,”You can’t ask that in an interview!” Then before I could think of a response he says,
”Look I don’t care if you are atheist or Muslim or Jewish or Christian, but the Reason I ask is because you’ll hear the word God around here sometimes and people take offense to that sometimes. I said, well last time I checked it said In God We Trust on every dollar bill I’ve ever seen. Do they get offended everytime they see a dollar bill?”
They all laughed and the boss said,”Well, no, but they do complain if they hear other co-workers using the word God in the workplace.”
I replied,”Maybe next time they complain ask if they want their pay in Canadian Loonies, God Save The Queen!”
They all laughed again and I got the job, which worked out great, even though I was a pantheist at the time and still am, until COVID hit and they all became anti-masker/anti-vaxer and I got let go because I was the only one wearing a mask in a meeting w/ 100 people, while my wife is the head of Covid response at her very liberal college. | r/atheism | post | r/atheism | 2024-12-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyOEVHMXFsSF9FVDJUaUpmS2tCSFNHa2pJN19CT3dfM1FiVkZQVXFxQ2RvY2JtQmFUVEdQWHV3VGszLWd4Rkx1cDhORFQ0NzRRekRFYXpBMHN5UG1wNWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzTlRzM2lQeWhKTGRBemEtc2xYNEg5RzJ1VmNQZGF4dExyc3pkRFdlWWVFN0JvNzAxNHg1dDUyTzZaTGxUWUZkNEptQ1dNT1VkWmxiQnJJWF83ckE2N2pQZjVpRDc4Z0c1TUJNNWZFejNic1VmNGhtNlNuOUxKUGthZldxTUlKeGdnSW1ucE5OQThNN1ZYSWFQRHh1eVB0dWhweHlrdk14ak9fRFJBUDl3SFRRVHdOS1Bhbkg1ek1KQk5wcVkwV2FDbnAyUHFkbm85N2d2QzZQcTV1MjRUQT09 |
I found out that my 29M boyfriend of 8 years is creating AI porn with women he knew from college, possibly his coworkers, etc. I am betrayed, humiliated, and disgusted. I can’t believe that he thinks his own pleasure is so important that he can violate the safety/privacy/dignity of unsuspecting women who are not consenting to this. Also, it feels pretty illegal, or at least like it should be?? I'm trying to figure out...
Is this something that most men are doing now? Do I just have to accept that this is what porn is now?
I'm aware that I should walk away if it's something I'm not OK with. What I'm really trying to figure out is if most men are doing this. I would really appreciate honest input across genders. This sucks.

Everyone knows the joy of deplaning after a long Thanksgiving weekend. This flight was four hours long and understandably when we reached the gate everyone was ready to deplane. I was in an aisle seat so I stood up to get my bag from above, as did the gentleman across from me and those in front of me. A mother with two kids (maybe 3 & 4?) behind me let both of them crawl over their seats and join both her and her husband in the aisle as well, which made things very crowded. The youngest crammed himself between me and his sister and started throwing an absolute tantrum- pushing his sister, yelling at his dad who was trying to pick him up (saying “let me go! I hate you dad!” To which his mom replied in a sing song voice “we don’t talk to daddy that way [insert kid’s name].”
The people in the aisles behind this mess moved back to their seats to make room for the little girl he was pushing back and the mom - in a much sterner voice than what she used with her tantrum throwing child, asked me “can you please move your body out of his way?” At first I assumed she was talking to her husband because he was crammed in the aisle too. But when she said it again and tapped on my shoulder I realized she was talking to me.
I couldn’t move forward because there were people in the row ahead of me grabbing their bags, and I still needed to get my bag down as well.
Meanwhile the kid is still screaming. So I simply said- “I’m sorry- I need to get my bag” to which she responded - “well your butt is in his face!”
At that point I wasn’t going to sit back down in my seat to accommodate her family of four crowding into the aisle. So I stayed, grabbed my bag, and deplaned.

Note I didn't say nipples. Also for all the thirsty fellas in here, I am dude that is a 6'7 chub monster. I am the size of a man that makes the most seasoned lumberjack choose bear in that man/bear forest question that was so popular a while ago. With that out of the way,
So I have been trying to lose weight and get in shape. To do so, I have been playing a lot of vr boxing because I live in a place thats cold and also I get embarrassed when people see me run. I can to the vr boxing in my underwear in the privacy of my own home instead of trying to blend in with the trees whenever a person walks or drives by. Its tons of fun and Ive been consistently getting 1.5 hours of cardio in every other day.
I used to be a pretty decent athlete, especially in sports that require people to be tall, so im really pushing myself to get back to that. Being tall does not help in thrill of the fight 2, like at all as far as I can tell. The system seems to have trouble tracking longer arms, which is great for me because to win I truly have to have proper form and outwork people. Shorter people have been absolutely lighting me up in this game and I am thrilled because I am super competitive. Anything to get me moving.
I am also not a huge fan of doing laundry, at least unnecessarily. To combat this I will only wear a shirt when I am wearing a weight vest for boxing. if im not im sweating like a hero in my underwear. So im punching to my hearts content, my flabby pasty body ducking, and dodging and really just pushing the absorbency of my boxer briefs to the limits when my opponent begins raining body shots on me. To counter this I had to throw a sharp hook at their head.
My hook connected beautifully with their head in the game. My thumbnail also made painful contact with me left nipple, which most people agree is my best nipple. Yes there was blood, thanks for asking. How much blood? Well aren't you inquisitive but hopefully not erect. Just so much guys. soo much blood from my nipple. The problem was that I was totally unaware of that fact, because of the headset.
I just kept boxing away, painfully aware that I had nipples now. After the match (a draw for those keeping score) I took off the headset to see that i had leaked blood on my carpet, but that my oddly shaped body (like if someone shaved the grinch(you're welcome ladies or more realistically gay dudes with chubby giant fetishes)) just allowed the blood to trail down my body, apparently down my leg, to the point that there was sweaty blood footprints.
The good news is that I have conclusive proof that my footwork is improving. the bad news is that I have to clean my carpet and it appears as though i tried to partially amputate my nipple from my areola.
TL;DR Clipped the tip of my nip throwing a punch with some zip. | r/tifu | post | r/tifu | 2024-12-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyZjBjdVI4WGY0RTBqS0JkTllFZi1NMjVsTWVOS0RLM0lOQUREM1VZQzhMRGEtRkgxTl9DUldxVXVQSmMtM3FHcWZEdWRGWS1PcVNqcVZxZFBwa0JhOFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzQ1JLR2YySFRiRVNSc3puQmhTZU9XeklndUJVSGRtYXdKVUtqbGZHbVFOSVY1a1JZTXdIbmRYaVB1X2htX0gyRW9MTEpiczBOeEZ2NVpCcV9DbmhtM1djSENqWUNkYkRnNFVHR2o4WXdrbnJCX1FYZ25hQTZLR0VKVm0zOG9LOHFXZFNsQTRWT29ITXJFVE9sTGVnbzdmcVlKTVJQUEZhNXExZ3JCa2VNdVg0c0FjZVV4YkxONnVyNkdHLTRMNkNH |
I heard on the TBOY podcast that Warren Buffet has been selling stocks all year and hasn't been buying much other than bonds/treasuries to stuff his cash. Apparently it's the largest amount of cash he's had on hand at one time, to the tune of $325 billion...

Am I over reacting? My boyfriend has not been supportive of me going on girls trips with certain friends because he doesn’t like their behavior. I stopped going on trips with that particular friend group a year ago because of his feelings about it. Fast forward to last night we’re sitting at dinner with his parents. We’re talking about scuba diving & his dad says well the best place he’s been is where his JOHN is going in two weeks, Belize. I haven’t heard about the trip at all. But I can’t help but feel if I planned an international trip with my recently divorced friend, yet hadn’t mentioned it to him, & he only found out from my dad he would’ve gone ballistic. I said have fun with whoever you’re going with & he blames me for over reacting & brings up how I went on trips with people he didn’t like (it’s been a year) then blames me for being toxic because of my snarky comments.
Is this a fireable offense?

Throwaway account
Me (26f) and my fiance (26m) are getting married this coming May. Last week, me and my parents were discussing plans for the wedding. For the longest time (since teens perhaps), I have had my heart set on a pink wedding gown. That color makes me feel the prettiest and (I believe) suits me more than white. My mom has known about this interest, but always thought it was one of those fancies which would "go away" once I grew up and actually decided to get married.
Well, here we are. When I brought up the pink wedding dress again during our discussion, my mom and I got into a serious argument about it. She said that it would be childish and embarrassing of me to get married in a gown that color and she doesn't want me to regret in the future looking back at my photos. I argued that there was nothing embarrasing about wearing a color I like on MY special day, and even James didn't mind what color of the dress I wore. I also said that regret could go either way and I could end up regretting NOT wearing pink in the future so I'd rather go with the decision that makes me happy right now. Although my dad hasn't been as vocally against the pink dress, he is starting to side with mom seeing how upset she is getting over this.
Over the whole week, there has been no end in sight to this argument, with my mom bringing up multiple times how they won't pay their half for the wedding dress if I go with pink (the initial agreement was to split the bill 50-50). My brother (30m) thinks the whole argument over this color is ridiculous and told mom that he'd be happy to split the bill with me instead, and *they* might end up being the ones regretting this whole drama more than me regretting the color in the future.
I honestly feel so torn over this. I am not sure anymore if I want the pink dress that badly just because I feel hurt the way my parents reacted to it and made such a big deal out of it. On the other hand, this is what I have always wanted but I do feel like this small of a decision is causing a hige drama for no reason.

1pm: We warn her guests will arrive at 7 and to please get ready and be out of her room.
1-7pm: We send sporadic reminders, knock on her door, remind her she has X amount of hours left, constant checking-in.
7pm-8pm: Guests arrive. She is nowhere to be seen. Everyone is busy doing something. Cooking, setting the table, socializing. Still we send reminders: People are here. Eating soon. Dinner is almost ready. Dinner is on the table now. People are on the table now. We are eating. She is not answering or otherwise communicating with with us.
8:24pm (exact timestamp from a photo I took): We start eating.
10 mins later she comes down pissed we started without her, nearly an hour and a half after we told her to be ready, and with constant reminders and warnings leading up to dinner.
So, are we the assholes? Mind you there were 11 people total, with two sides of the family seeing each other for the first time in years, plus a newborn baby who was mercifully asleep right when the food was coming out hot. Everything was chaotic and people were hungry.
EDIT: just because a few people were asking, she is 24.

Hey everyone,
I’m in a bit of a situation and could use your advice. I have 1 BTC sitting in my decentralized wallet, and I’m trying to figure out how to convert it into SOL without involving any centralized exchanges. Staying decentralized is really important to me—I want to keep full control over my funds and avoid any unnecessary KYC or middlemen.
I’ve already explored a few options, like PortalBridge and deBridge, but neither of them seem to support Bitcoin. It feels like most bridges and decentralized platforms tend to overlook BTC, which is surprising given how widely used it is.
So, here’s where I’m stuck: is there a reliable and decentralized way to swap BTC for SOL directly? Maybe something involving wrapped tokens or another creative workaround? I’d love to hear from anyone who’s faced a similar issue or knows the best path forward.
Thanks in advance for your insights! | r/solana | post | r/solana | 2024-12-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyX2oxRlhacVByV1A5ZXQ3bnRVN0RReTMzVmNTSDkxTGxZQ1RmdXN1cWE3SzhZN29iMWpET0FZbk1HM01iSjJnTmVhVFl0elJFaEZKemU4cDh4UUtPVjNzcEdrZGRRM3M5WU1zcGE4QkE4ZGs9 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFza05vM01DM2d1LTdwelFCSnBjcVdtMlRvbEQ1dXM0SUpFenlWTnI2REZXbWhCMTNuaHota0l1N3l6cXlFeFh1bDVpZnlOd0h3dEhLR3FRRXBhMVFkMnZUVW8ycDdxTUJKTy1QbVF1cDJwdEluY3B1eV82WXBQU2ZOTERWYlFYTThOLXBjOVJjNFVnUHMzakhiLURta1UxTmt1dFhqY2xld2JrMUlYMTRLclFVPQ== |
Manchester City’s struggles are mainly down to losing Rodri, but selling Julián Álvarez hasn’t helped either. Haaland’s been shut down by teams recently, but he has to play because he’s their only proper striker.
With Álvarez, who had 20 goals and assists in the PL last season, City had more options. He could either play as a striker to mix things up or slot in as an attacking midfielder, which made them more flexible tactically. Now that he’s gone, Pep is stuck either playing Haaland every game or trying a false 9, which he hasn’t done since Haaland joined.
They should’ve kept Álvarez—he gave them another dimension and could’ve been a solid backup or even a complement to Haaland. | r/premierleague | post | r/PremierLeague | 2024-12-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyQ0dnbE1ZRFp4a3ZLRmhqSTA0aTRzcjVjQS1KZEhENlY0Q1FnOEdPYlUwVWNnbTFMeUpDWHpXQjB0ZV9qTHVIM0ZEazdMcUgxV1JINW5YOGhGOHJ5TXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzTmFVRWxrZ0lyc1prbkRabXFVWGFvY2NHMWRNS3pHOHB4c2ZrQnlqMFVLcmM5VTVHazgzei1vZWs3RVBMUE9heGduT0NsNGt5OE5FdENMT3JmMlJqS25yLUJBTjAxV3F0R3hNREF3bTJZQjNsTWVVdjNBZ2VOQ1dVSWZTLXJET0NsNXRFN0c3c2stQktWYVVDN1AtLUpYZERhbzJ3YjV2NDZlUzBSZjdHVlVJU04wckgyYUR1M05oRFlPLXZOS3ViWENJT2E4c3RReWdGSTdNTFdUblRyZz09 |
Hello reddit;
I am facing a dilemma with my girlfriend ("Sarah") of approximately 18 months and would very much appreciate any advice you can give.
To begin with, she and I met last year, our Freshman year at University. Of course it was a time for chasing new things and meeting new people, and we met at orientation and fell for each other very hard.
Sarah has many, many great qualities. She is beautiful and lovely, she is very kind and attentive to me, and I do love her dearly. I have been happy with her for the time we have been together.
One problem we have had is that I feel like I am noticeably more dedicated to my academics than she is. I have maintained a high GPA and work hard for my grades, and I have not missed a class in the three semesters I have been here.
Sarah is a little more interested in the social aspects of college. She tends to go out many nights of the week for drinks or to party (and has gotten a bit worse since turning 21). She also has a habit of sleeping in in the morning and missing class. It's common for her to stay in my dorm overnight, and I will frequently leave her in the morning just to come back from class a few hours later and find her still sleeping in bed.
I am not someone who will hover over her and nag her to go to class, so I try waking her up, but when she says she will handle herself, I leave her to it.
Unfortunately, Sarah's grades have not been great. She was put onto academic probation after the Spring '24 semester, and was informed that she has until the end of the current semester to raise her GPA to an acceptable level or she will be dismissed from university.
Sarah did try at the beginning of this semester, and she had a strong start. She was going to class, working on assignments, and of course I did what I could to help her. But her old habits began returning and her grades are suffering again.
Over the last few weeks before leaving for Fall Break, she seemed to be getting frantic. She was constantly asking me to help her with assignments. I have been doing my best, but she wasn't really meeting standard and there was only so much I could do for her.
Just before we left for break I had a sit down and tried to kindly tell her that it might be time to consider what she was going to do if she cannot return to University after Winter. I think reality began setting in for her at that point. She cried on my shoulder and I was trying to comfort her, and she began asking me what was going to happen with us.
I tried to tell her that for right now maybe she should focus on making a plan for herself and we can go from there, which I did mean sincerely. She practically begged me to tell her that we would still be together, and at the time I reassured her that I did not intend to break up.
Over break she has been texting me some vague plans about getting a job in the same city as our University. She has been talking a bit about staying some nights at my dorm and maybe getting an off-campus apartment together at some point. She is again asking me to promise her that we will stay together even if she is expelled.
But honestly, while I do love her, I'm having some doubts. I know she is having a hard time and I'm not trying to pile it on her, but to an extent I am angry at her. I did every reasonable thing I could to help her pass and I feel like she didn't do everything she could to remain in college. I don't want to say it is her fault but, she didn't get sick, or experience a tragedy. She partied and didn't go to class and it annoys me that she is expecting me to accommodate the change to her life now.
And while I feel like a total snob, to some extent I feel like I am advancing in my life, and I don't know if I really want to commit to someone who is not doing that for right now. I still love her and want her to succeed, but it seems like she will be stuck for a bit, and I don't want to be.
Has anyone experienced something like this? Were you able to navigate it? Are Sarah and I doomed?
**TL;DR:** My girlfriend is likely being expelled from University and is asking me to reassure her that we will stay together. I don't know if I can promise her that anymore. What should I do?

My gf and I started dating in Feb, and moved in together in October. I don't really have anything worth keeping secret from my her, so I'm comfortable leaving my phone around, knowing she knows my password. I noticed this morning that my Instagram follower count was off and noticed every female was unfollowed/blocked. These were all coworkers, friends I made in the army, and family friends, etc. I confronted her and she started crying and blaming it on trust issues. I have never cheated in any relationship and do my best to maintain mutual trust. I've been thinking all day while she's at work and feel like she broke my trust permanently. She also doesn't let me play videogames with my male friends anymore because she "feels left out".
TLDR My girlfriend went through my phone behind my back and blocked every female on my Instagram. Should I start planning my escape or give her another chance?

So I 27F split my time between two cities in my province. Because of work weirdness, I spent November with my fiancé and just got back to my flat in the other city.
A friend of mine 31M has a pretty shitty living situation (shares a bedroom with an ex, has 4 roommates) so I invited him to spend November at my apartment while I wasn’t there. I just got back to the apartment and found it trashed and some things were missing. The mess I didn’t care so much - I knew he was messy… but when I asked him about some of the missing things, he deflected.
I found ads on FB marketplace posted by his roommate selling identical items to what went missing. Am I overreacting in calling him out and threatening to call the police? I know my friend well through mutual friends but don’t really know the roommate.

Haveno relies upon arbitration by the network you’re operating on. In a case where the arbitrators act maliciously they can create trades where they control 2/3 keys to seize funds.
Currently the most popular network is haveno-reto which is an anonymous group, the only thing they have to say they will act honestly is their reputation.
When swapping with custodial exchanges the only thing you also rely on is their reputation. Therefore I argue that Haveno networks are no more secure than a centralised exchange which also operate purely on reputation.
To pre-empt some common objections I think people might have:
- “But an exchange could be hacked”: So could the arbitrators of Haveno
- “Haveno requires the other use to prove funds”: Exchanges can publish view keys for proof of funds
- “Haveno has no KYC”: arbitrators could set whatever arbitrary requirements they want. They could require the sacrifice of your first born. In a dispute: they hold the keys.
- “Haveno arbitrators are incentivised to honestly” - I’d argue that game theory dictates they would act in what is most profitable, in a situation where they stand to gain more from immediate profit, why would they act honestly? With network operators being able to be anonymous, this lowers the honestly threshold as they are less concerned with legal repercussions. Centralised exchanges with know individuals at least face the risk of legal repercussions in case of negligence/dishonesty whereas anonymous Haveno network operators have far less risk exposure.
To be clear, I’m not saying Haveno-reto will steal your funds. I believe it is no more secure than trading with already established centralised exchanges. Is this really more secure? Or is it a charade of security? Couldn’t the developers have just relaunched LocalMonero anonymously? | r/monero | post | r/Monero | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyalpwVUQtM3lMeVpubVc1ekJZc01QdHhFVUl2bVdQS0ZZdWg1c21YeW42WGtxS0xnVUhma2N2TDJnT1ZuMmFGY2V5WU5vcEp3SFRVWW5VcktSQmR3VkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzSHpGZGdzNER5dFVWc2tXUHQxc1p6NGpKTUJ1bVZQS1dHendXMXlmNklJVmRfeDBER2tYanN3WEtieXJNVWlyVEZDeVdGMG9RRWtzRGdzNzdOb1pReVdLWGMxMEZLN3JBTlh4MG4tdzkzNGZYZThwOXVPY0ZtZkpJcXVabzJZVXdTN2tzWWd4OVpGWVdXc2pyckd1Y2VRTi1wckhTVHVSdUREWWlPTWpOSVdxSS1WOERac2Y5X0JhaVJnVHRsY1Rh |
My dad could build just about anything, plumb up pipes, wire lights and repair what was broken (within reason of course). When it came to gardening, he understood how, when and what to plant to get the best yields. All was passed on to me and my brother, however I know I’m the only one using any of it that was passed on. As a society are we losing the ability to be masters of our environment?
It is hard to find a good handy man, someone that does quality work or someone that takes pride in their work. Are you noticing the same thing?

Hey guys ,
I've got alot of monero and I want to be able to trade in and out of monero for day trading using it as my store of value..
I've looked on dextscreener. But I'm a bit confused..
Say if I want to do weekly or intra trading on bigger majors like sol Btc XRP top 100 etc etc and even go deeper into some memes.. what is the best dex to be able to do this on that has these trading pairs...
I could move funds from a fantom wallet or a bigger exchange onto this Dex but what one is advised?
Also when looking on dextscreener you would type In sol or XRP and there was hundreds of these pairs is the actual true pair available on these dexs or must you go onto cex exchanges ? | r/monero | post | r/Monero | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyNVdqaTJXZDc1NUZuTHN4NWZmbmdUZmhZWlIwTDVGd1dEX3BBdmsybTR4UjRhc2RUVWEtak5BQ1JTbl9HLVg0UFRNeU9DaFNwYkR1emdPWWRnc2xnUnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzQS1HSmt0LXpoMmE2dnViZ0VOaF95WEtnYUdxZUdISU1TczJGU0RaS0tmQWlzZ0c4Y0NLcHFRd3BXelpFd1lENmxuM2tBQVhsQzNhVkpuTzlJSFdTY1dfQnM1UHRVWHBDb1YxRU9wOVdYa3E1UWZXQVc0MWFyYXpSbGYtUkZHZXduYkxxOFQybzRXS0p1WUlhS3FTcDJlOGlYbkRGR2lsN3JtZlViTHk4UHhjPQ== |
This is probably gonna sound dumb and that’s because it is.
[M]y balance has always been shitty. I attributed that to the fact that during puberty I grew one foot taller in a single year. I figured my body never got adjusted to the new equilibrium because it happened so quickly. I never gave it any thought beyond that.
So one day I was stretching before a run and had moved onto the flamingo stretch. (Quad stretch where you stand on one leg.) My wife was there and she likes to poke fun at my (lack of) balance. It’s just some light-hearted ribbing, it’s no big deal. So I was hopping on one foot and flailing my arms. My wife was laughing at me and she uttered these fateful words:
Wife: It’s like you’re not using your core at all.
Me; a dumbass: Why would I use my core? I’m balancing on my leg.
Wife: Wait, what do you mean? Your balance comes from your core.
Me: I’m not using my core, I’m using my legs.
Wife: YOU’RE NOT FLEXING YOUR CORE AT ALL???
Me: No, that’s stupid. Why would I need my core to balance on my leg?
Wife: Flex your core right now. Just do it.
So I flexed my abs and I immediately stopped wobbling over and stood upright.
Me: Huh, that’s weird.
Wife: Have you been balancing without your core this whole time???
Me: Yeah I guess so. I didn’t think I needed it.
Wife: How the fuck have you been balancing without your core???
Me: Well, badly. I didn’t know I needed to do it.
Wife: You have to use your core for everything!!!Why wouldn’t you need it to balance???
Me: I don’t really use my core all that often.
Wife: WHAT???
So after that I’d just be doing a normal activity, like carrying one of our kids in my arm, and my wife would ask me if I was using my core. So I’d start flexing my core; and my kid would get easier to carry?
Or she would ask me how I do something. For instance, how do I get in a car? Well I bend my legs and just sort of fall backwards into the seat.
After a few days of this something clicked in my brain. I loved sports as a kid. I played them all the time, nearly every day. But I was always bad at them. My balance was awful and I was uncoordinated. I was a terrible swimmer. I was weak. I was so weak, in fact, that I never understood when people would say that men are so much stronger than women. My wife could overpower me when she wanted to. I’d struggle and strain and she would push me back. It was a bit humiliating, but I never let her know that.
Well it took some training, but eventually I started instinctively using my core for everything. I started using it while walking, while lifting things, even just standing in one spot I use my core now. It’s been two years and I sometimes can’t believe the change I’ve seen. I’m 33 and I’m the strongest I’ve ever been. I can do things with ease that I used to struggle with. I’m stronger than my wife now, which is an ego boost. I beat my half-marathon time by thirty minutes. (From 2:20 to 1:50). This summer I started lifting weights to get even stronger. I love how I feel now. My confidence is higher and I’m a happier person.
I’m not sure how I never learned to use my core muscles for anything. I do wonder how strong I could’ve gotten in my 20’s if I had been using my body the way I was supposed to. I don’t dwell on it. I’m just glad that I was able to change my body when I did. I never would’ve thought that a playful jibe from my wife would change my life so much.
TLDR: I consistently fucked up over a period of thirty years by never using my core muscles for anything and grew up to be a weak, uncoordinated, piece of shit. | r/tifu | post | r/tifu | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyTldEUkZ1VzYyZmU4U25xZ0lUcEliSUtEMGdERXVDU1ZlbzlVR1RjbW9Yc29za015YTlrRDAtc1VVUVRFMTF3eVZ2WUFNN0NUQmlBZm9SdHhSQ0hrZ2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzVDhDVFJUa1lCR0VMM21GRXZlbnl1a3JERjNHeW5HME9Dd1VZMU5yVEJIb2ZUTERJR2FUdEp6ZjVlY1dtRk5zS1k4QW45Ni1BczhoM2hMUUE1ejJ2dXVmaFFvdGpxZXVuVHpfU0ZLSnhnSnJMVmJTTUY0OWMxVHpMdzJnazVNRlZDbU0zeDhHNFRSeVlia3JOSlhSdEduVTZtcHA2eFNrTWdTekRwTkZvaXhoMTgyOFNSdTg5dFNTTGRiQWV6enQt |
My dog is 16 and suffering from Doggy dementia. She is on meds but is slowly declining but is still in fairly good health. She is generally worse at night. (We have tried dog diffusers for calming, tablets and our vet prescribed some supplements to try and help)
She has suddenly started hating sleeping in our bedroom which was never an issue before. She cries and only settles downstairs and as I am currently not working, I have been sleeping on the couch with her usually on the other couch. Thing is, I am 5ft 11 and a chunky girl, I literally sleep like a curled up squirrel and have been getting really uncomfortable.
So, we purchased a sofa bed in the Black Friday sales, which started in the UK at some stores a couple of weeks ago, which has been an absolute godsend. Now, I can sleep downstairs with her, take care of her needs and ensure she is as comfortable as possible. My partner does also alternate but as he works during the week, I do the majority shift with the dog. Usually 5 nights with her downstairs. My partner and I kind of hate it, but we love her and we want her comfortable as possible the last few months of her life, she deserves it.
However....now she will not sleep anywhere but the sofa bed and she cries if I am on it. She will not share it either. Chances are, we may end up purchasing another sofa bed and putting our couch into storage.
Serves me right for thinking I could find a solution.......
TL;DR: bought a sofa bed so I could sleep downstairs with my Doggy dementia senior pup. She now refuses to sleep anywhere else but this sofa bed. I guess I am back on the couch...... | r/tifu | post | r/tifu | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyYlRLd2x1MXJhSmtwXy1GbHJweE1neWVDYUxQWHpTbHF5NTFNRlVOLXZDVmxoc2toa3haal9kTXgwUU9uTEpCQndmS0NvMHlJSklJc2ZZUlF6TVRJc2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzQm15WXFDUUVBV2dzLU50MlN3S2x2Y2hEVFRRNlluRzhlcUhvUzNRY1FCQW9BNUxDWGRQYjY2c3lWU01wd0UwaUpCUkhaWUJ0WnI1Nnl4cVNGYXZmdElaQlhCY0g2M1p1WlJhOTlpMnJ3cWxjeXZKS1JWdktOZGk4T0FNV2wzR1RRTGIxRkZnYThDaHQwWk1RdDRzb1IyeTlNY1l6RWhTcFp2WENhcGtaWlE1UEI5eHRjbkFaMnlnSXFXNmpoOWFo |
So I was planning a trip to Japan and South Korea next May with three good friends that I had known since high school (we are all 26). I had bought the flight tickets already as did my friends and we were in planning mode.
One friend said one friend would be joining us for a few activities (who I don’t know) because he would be in japan around the same time. Ok cool, he has his own itinerary so I wasn’t too worried about that.
Then yesterday I learn that three other friends of two of my friends are suddenly being added because they wanted to come along, they are buying their plane tickets soon, and they will be with us the whole time. I know none of these people. And I literally had thought it would just be 4 of us.
I got really annoyed by this and told them that it will be challenging to travel as a group of 7 (and sometimes 8 with the other guy) and I frankly do not feel very comfortable travelling with 3 strangers to a faraway country and sharing rooms. They said it won’t be a problem, they’re very chill and we can even book different rooms and I can share with the friends that I know.
I still didn’t feel comfortable. I don’t know them. I don’t know how they travel. I don’t know if they are problematic to travel with. And it is kind of a logistical nightmare to plan a trip consisting of 7-8 people. The group call we had yesterday to plan was incredibly annoying because there were soo many people putting in their two cents and opinions and at that point I had had enough.
Today I got a refund for my plane ticket and told them that respectfully, I would be bowing out of this trip but I hope they have fun. My friends got really surprised and also upset.
I just don’t want to spend thousands of dollars on a trip that will be either a headache or potentially filled with drama.

I was wondering if anybody knows the process too apply for a new emoji. I was thinking that the African Union, like the European Union, needs it's own emoji.
It deserves one because it is the broadest and one of the most active regional organizations in the world.
I believe that it will also be widely used. How many times have you seen a message with a bunch of African flag representing one's heritage. We are a united people and that emoji will strengthen that Union. | r/africa | post | r/Africa | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyejlXYzd2SnltVE45LXNDU2w4RUlDbkY4QW91bm51OW45MDVieWVDRE9IVDE0SDJoZFpER2VNeG5sQm9qeWpGYUV5UGdHYmk5aVYwWVY0WHRjR29PWFNOb1JiZ0FLY0MtT2RudlVmYURJbm89 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzbHpQakxiRnlNRU9mMVBBdTRZMkk1SlJPbk4wNXdXYUw4VHpjeWs4M250Q2t5aGE0dmIzbGNpQXNpOHpBUHljRTVUUmFzUnB4VXhoc0lyQU9KN0lZTEdYTGJmUnBma1M4NDJpaUdFOE9DUmhsYmtLUXh6emJuRVRJUV9Hb1NfaEdRVUJIN2JMeFY1cUpxUzF2RlJsMGI4U0lOR0RDMlVLNlQ0V0dBWkxBX2xlQ3RzT2NnSlFHOGlucnVSblFFY29GVThORVdKUGszc3RzSUs5aFYyekJGQT09 |

I’ll try and keep it short. Something that happened when I was around twelve years old. The movie “Cloverfield”, had just come out. I went to see it with my brother and mother, finished up and went to the local Dairy Queen afterwards. As we’re sitting in the drive thru looking the menu over deciding on what to order. Something strange happened that I’ll never be able to explain I’m sure. The sign grew, like how Mario grows in Super Mario, when he eats a mushroom. I don’t say what I saw, I just ask my brother and mother, “Did anyone just see that?” My mother responds, “Yea, the sign just grew?” I remember feeling extremely confused but excited, wtf just happened. I think about that day pretty often and love to share the story. It grew by a few inches in all directions. What if my hand was in the space it grew into? How did me and my mother hallucinate the same thing if that was the case? | r/thetruthishere | post | r/Thetruthishere | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyc3l4ZlE0TjNzN3N4UmRrZ1haR3pHMU50T0Z1LV9EOEZBUTJrM0dnM2lDaFgxUnhhNlFaNk5fdVpiNWxNVTNNSFdaS20wcklobElXckpzT0NlLUtFRjVQT0pVUUx6VUJRcW1hZmFfcExjMHc9 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzTnROUmN6OXRuLWwzdlItNGlndVU1VkJmc2c1cEVGZkxlTXBXQ2NYVnNvWDdwY1NyRGlaTmFoNlVVcG1PQVJZZzFjeUdzNkc5YTlZc0JwWXNNUWpWeWxlbUZXTVhOWWJOV2dnSGpqamRiWWRBcmM1LXltRVNacm54M1pZSjBUWFpTQ3lZX1lWYld2clg4OV9UeUlleGRXbEZHTWJkbU9BS29qaUVrWXJKMHlENEtTd2dqLVVzbjUxUS1UbENBWG9Q |

It's been a wild week and I have the time to finally sit down and update ya'll on what's been going on. So after dropping her off at her mother's house last week, she actually started having a secondary reaction and needed to return to the hospital for observation. They kept her overnight and closely monitored her to make sure she wasn't getting worse. I visited her after work and we talked for a long while about everything. She immediately apologized to me for everything that had happened and opened up to me about what has been going on.
My wife has been struggling with a lot mentally. She tends to get sick easily and up until a couple of years ago, she was dealing with Gastroparesis so for a long time she was chronically ill. But as soon as she cleared one hurdle, another would pop up and she would struggle again. The past few weeks she has been struggling a lot with feeling like she isn't in control of her life (she's was let go from her last two jobs because of down sizing) and so this was like a minor form of rebellion. Normally if she has a reaction, she could take some Benadryl and be ok. So she told me she thought this would be the same thing. I reminded her that the past few times we had to go to the ER and she told me she had forgotten about those incidents. She looked genuinely shocked she couldn't remember these incidents so I believe she didnt.
We did speak with a mental health specialist and she told us that she felt confident that my wife wasn't suicidal, but that she was dealing with a lot and reminded her that she needs to talk about what's going on. My wife acknowledged this and promised to do better with it. She was discharged and sent home with a short term prescription for some steroids to help, and I took her back home. The next couple of days for her were hard. The steroids made her feel miserable and she repeatedly told me that this was definitely the worst she has felt in a long time. I sympathized, but also reminded her that this was pretty avoidable. She made a commitment to be more careful again and later I was able to see that she was serious.
We went out to shop for Thanksgiving as we were still planning on hosting before all this happened, and when I tell you that watching my wife meticulously reading each ingredient label almost made me cry, I mean it. My wife isn't the kind of person to make empty promises, but seeing her actually being proactive made me so happy inside. When we passed the seafood section, she flipped off the crabs and I laughed harder than I have in a long time. Thanksgiving came and went with no problems and honestly I noticed my wife appeared to be a lot happier than she had been. When I mentioned this after dinner was over, she admitted that she felt like a large weight was lifted off her shoulders when we had our talk in the hospital about her mental state and she felt silly keeping all of her worries inside for so long.
I ended up showing her my post and she actually was receptive to it. She did mention that some of the commentors are a little mean and the one about me "getting a vasectomy" was hilariously unhinged, but overall was a good sport. So we are doing well overall now. We want to thank everyone who reached out and all the commentors who were genuinely trying to be helpful. You were a source of grounding for me when things were spiraling out of control. | r/amioverreacting | post | r/AmIOverreacting | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyVzM0QW43bFJOOFBKYXJKbWRyQzZIREFhd01hSm1fSmlHUVpScjhFWVdoSmxPSjJMb003dERSeEpZWExUV1ZHZlE3azU1ZENKT0M5T2RQbGRaVGp4RHdRVVVNa1hxeFk1NFc5TXFDcHZyaG89 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzV29TNy1QUExNUG5wRUpsWTlyTXZpUy1KN0dsUjRVeVNMMEFLRGViT2RNNmNGcHlraVhVMEswaE1aSloxY0dYS3hXT2JuV3VmTVVHdXFxVFk0eVJpeFJodTdIekNOcElsWGtwU0VWWGpWVXd3ekFNQlNURXJRWjlSUk84S1NHRk9VanZsWjJRMkJZdDRyX05DZXlJOVdGV3RRMDFFeGJqMkZDT2lSUFVhVWdwTUpNNWlLY182d1dBUS1pc0tQOVp3bXB2T2Q4UXA0OG14RVMwX3ROSzBLUT09 |
(English is not my native language, sorry if i write something wrong or weird).
Okay, i saw this reddit thanks to a video and i wanted to share a experience of mine, the only experience that i couldn't personally dismiss as a creation of my imagination, even if i had some "weird" happenings the absolute majority of them i can explain much more easily than this one.
I'm skeptical to anything paranormal, especially now that i'm older, but at the same time this things sound so fascinating that i never lost the interest on it even being pretty sure that those aren't real.
Because of that i try some different things involving the paranormal or etc, if it doesn't work no problem because i have zero expectations and if work it would blow my mind lol.
On the part that really matters, the past life regression - i tried it just like anything "weird" that i try for fun, and it was a really interesting experience. I can't describe the whole journey because i won't remember everything and it would take a lot, but basically, the doctor guiding me made me go through a "path" on my mind to a safe space on my psique, and in that space i needed to found 2 mirrors and look on the mirror on the right, ONLY ON THE RIGHT (this is important).
I looked on that mirror and i saw a old man on a really old house, with snow everywhere around it. Inside the house the old man was working on a broken clock with a lot more of clocks on the wall - that was his work space and he was me, on the moment i was sure he was me from a past life.
There's even a pretty big emotional moment for me when his grandchildren come out to hug him and even if i didn't heard anything i was sure that those are my grandchildren, and i wanted to cry damn.
That was pretty cool for me, even if i was really trying to be skeptical that experience shaked myself - but the weird thing comes next.
Remembering the whole experience later i tried to recreate the thing by myself, the path, the safe space, the mirrors - but when i got to the mirrors bit my curiosity got over me, i remember the doctor saying pretty clearly to me not go on the left one but i thought "what could happen? Probably it just don't work", so i looked on the left mirror and the sensation was like i was being sucked by it.
On the otherside of the mirror a saw a forest, full of really big trees and sunlight everywhere, but that sunlight doesn't felt right to me, it was kinda disgusting to see for some reason. In the middle of the forest i saw a group of people in white clothes dancing around a fire, i couldn't define any features of them and the only thing happening was the dance, but my gut was telling that they did something really wrong.
That by itself was hard enough to process, but then i saw it, a man/woman with a mask made of wood with two long horns looking likes deer horns fused with tree branches. The thing was looking directly back to me, with the two black holes on it mask - and them it said, "i found you".
I was so shocked from all this that i just got out of the whole hypnotized state that was necessary for the regression, i even had dreams with the thing for days and looking at trees made me unwell.
It isn't affecting me nowadays, just some chills when i think throughly about it, but besides that all fine.
I really liked the possible "old me" i saw on the good progression, but because of the other side i really want this to be just my imagination or that i wasn't on the "bad mirror" long enough to the thing really tracks me, for some reason. Idk.

This happened in my early twenties, and to this day, I can’t fully explain it. It started with a disturbing dream my mom had the night before. Her boyfriend at the time, who worked as a security guard at the local hospital, shared what happened the next morning, and it left us both shaken.
He told me that around three or four A.M., he was up early, getting ready for work. He was sipping his coffee and half-watching random shows on TV when he began to hear whispering. At first, it was faint but distinctly aggressive, almost like it was right outside the front door of the apartment. Confused by the timing and tone, he got up to check. But as he approached the door, the sound stopped. Thinking it was nothing, he went back to his coffee and TV.
Then it happened again. This time, the whispering was louder—clearer—and unmistakably coming from right outside the front door. Feeling a mix of curiosity and irritation, he moved quickly to open the door and look around, but again, there was nothing. No one in sight, no sounds.
He shrugged it off as odd but not impossible, until it happened a third time. Only this time, there was no whispering. Instead, he heard a deep, guttural man’s voice almost yelling—and it was coming from my mother’s room.
Panicked, he ran to her room and swung the door open. My mom was laying in bed, speaking in a man’s voice he couldn’t recognize. The words were garbled and unintelligible, but the tone was dark and commanding. He flipped on the light, shouting at her to wake up, and she eventually did—shaken and confused.
She told him she’d been having a nightmare about a shadowy figure trying to force itself on her. She described the figure as something dark and menacing, unlike anything she’d ever dreamed before.
As her boyfriend was telling me this the next day, we were both sitting in the apartment kitchen. He was just reaching the part about the yelling when suddenly, the lights in the kitchen went out—except for one. The timing was too perfect to dismiss. Both of us froze, adrenaline spiking, and without even saying much, we grabbed our things and left the apartment in a hurry.
When we came back later, everything was normal. All the lights were working fine, and nothing else strange happened after that. To this day, I can’t help but wonder what exactly was going on that night.
I get chills retelling this one to this day. An unnerving feeling. Was so strange, he had promised my mom not to tell me about it. I’m glad he did but it just leaves me with questions. | r/thetruthishere | post | r/Thetruthishere | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyWjhJUnJraFdUVGs5X3ZNdFpZdENfVkdnM2gyaHFYR1g4RTl1RlpURHBocExScFJkVTRXX25XOTV3bjcxd3QyMDcxa0NNWE1lYW1DYjEwZlJINlV5a3lVRmFYaGMtS3F4M0J0V3lOOExHZnM9 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzTUtTMERDMlV0ZmdYUUZzRzBVa0M5ZkJBLW1ZRUJQZ2NqdnFMVjgzQ1diT3ZBSm83alFJbEt0ZEpwb21ZMEZHNFBSUEZVOEZEcXJXRWlyeXRha3V4bUI4R3BuM21CQjFGeThKbVBpRWJVcE0ySE5HcTg0VEpQQWFlR1dKSTFKd194T3M4ZllrWk5abV9ON2Zrb1hMQ3dyZ3owOGhMZ0NFTWJWR0hwNGN0TmxNPQ== |

So in that video, Macklemore starts by wearing a very ostentatious fur coat with a hood to the night club. In said night club, upon seeing him in this attire, a black gentleman at the bar turns around and exclaims "Damn that's a cold-ass honky!"
And so, dear reader, I was left to believe that "Honky" was a word for an ostentatious fur coat with a hood. You can see where this is going.
Cue to today, where I'm with my girlfriend in a bar when in walks in a gentleman wearing a fur coat with a hood. So I point excitedly and say rather loudly "Is that a honky?"
You know those scenes in movies where the whole bar falls silent? Yeah, that was about what happened. Luckily my girlfriend, knowing English is not my first language, and that I'm usually not the type to yell borderline racist insults at white people, asks me in an amused voice "what do you think a honky is?"
And so I explain that it's the fur coat, and she cracks up laughing along everyone else. She then tells me what it really means, and I'm left to apologize to the gentleman with the fur coat who is also completely cracking up.
TL;DR: after watching a music video, I erroneously assume honky means a piece of clothing instead of a derogatory term for white people, I loudly call out a white person wearing that piece of clothing a honky. Hilarity ensues. | r/tifu | post | r/tifu | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyeF9QTWxJVHFjdjdla0JPaWxRRW00bkJ1VklzZjQtSGNHU3FKYlFHVHFkZWgzZ2FUTUF4aEk3UkpWd2h5UFFoRHBNZktvb1ZmQlRmYzNuN1pFcVcwdHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzMktobmpMd201OTB3VU9tNmRtUjRPRWxWc1dMMUxDYU9teFdvYjBiSUUxdU9iUWx3VklEc2Mzb21kM1FBT2dMSk5iNmRCYjJMVGowLTNHSW1mN25sa1VJM2lhT2dxUWdOdks2QkJmWDZ6WDF4TVJ2UHRzTFBZaGo5UGh2QTE3cmpVclhJTEVRTVNpR2k5dTQ5alJWb050eG9qcFhCWnBXOVlUVWRTMnlydGc0NEQ0WUlhR0JXNkkteDNqNmJ6cTRf |

My father in law gives me the creeps, he has basically indoctrinated my sister in law to the point where she’s his attack dog (I only stood up to him once and she said that she won’t put up with disrespect of her father) she’s also told them things I’ve said to her in confidence like “I feel like they only want the baby and not me here”. So yeah I’m scared of what he’ll do to my baby if he gets the chance. Also he’s threatened that if when I’m visiting, if I’m sleeping when he gets home and the baby is crying then he’ll take care of the baby but I won’t want to be around him if I wake up. Basically he threatened to berate me if the baby is crying at all on my watch and I let the baby cry. I’m really concerned.
Edit: I should specify, I’m still 36 weeks pregnant and my SIL doesn’t have any kids at all. It’s quite annoying that I’m having the first grandchild in the family so I’m very worried they’re basically using me to get a baby. He gives me predatory vibes because he’s openly admitted to having like 5 little girls sleeping on the bed and his wife had to sleep on the couch. | r/tooafraidtoask | post | r/TooAfraidToAsk | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyMDM1ZGtfOFlTZlp4X3pXWjJTQnh4Y3l3ZloxUnQwdEtsVTN0T2VwM2RKQ0ExN3JkTXlNcW15ZlhsRGNSMzhFcVEwS1Q2VzJFNUdfWHpId09QSm5TX25xMXpNc2ItWnd6bzdqcFo0cEt2Vzg9 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzcUtyR3dBaVZZLVlLTHpBUmczOGtPM2RzSU5qaUx4aWxTMEduZ2pVTU5sWEdwMDA5bHRGVGtCaDYxZzhsaDViV2R0ZU1PRHNWbHFYN3N5YXFZZ25qbV9VdjQ3bUdTX3ZtZnQycVp4ZkJmeUhxbW04RkNwNTJ5dDJQeWhLbU9Qb1NQdmhrZkdENXN5bVJKcEVla2xKb052c3d6TmdYSFdVa2lVS0JocllOU1lDaVlBa2ZwZjhGU0NqTVZoU19DV0FLWXVPdm9ab3N1UVpOdWJhbjdyNzlCdz09 |
The last unexplainable thing that happened to me—before the ghost story I shared earlier—was when I was around 19. One night, around 10 PM, my stepfather called to tell me that our childhood dog had run away from his townhouse on the other side of town. He asked if I could help search for the dog, and I agreed.
When I got to his place, we came up with a plan of attack. For some reason, I decided to check near my old high school. It was about a mile and a half from his townhouse. While it seemed unlikely the dog could’ve made it that far, something just told me to go.
I turned onto the service road that led to the two entrances of the school. The road ended in a dead end, so I made a U-turn to head back. As I drove, I glanced up at the stars. That’s when I noticed something unusual—a star that was shining far brighter than the rest.
I did a double take, and almost instinctively, I said out loud, “What the fuck is that?”
The moment the words left my mouth, the “star” seemed to react. It hit what I can only describe as a warp drive and shot off in a straight line, disappearing completely from view. It wasn’t a shooting star—I know what those look like. Shooting stars don’t sit still before launching off like that.
What stuck with me the most was the trail it left behind. It’s hard to describe, but along the short path it took looked like a ring, almost like the ones around Saturn. The ring was small forming from the point of where it was sitting and ending where is seemingly ceased to exist. The ring quickly faded into glowing embers, like the kind you’d see rising from a campfire.
I had stopped my car and was just standing there feeling the adrenaline fade, asking myself. What the fuck was that? Why did it seemingly react to me doing a double take? Why don’t I have a dash camera?
Still standing outside my car, frozen in disbelief, my phone rang. It was my stepfather, asking where I was. I told him I was on my way back to help with the search, still reeling from what I’d just seen.
We eventually found the dog just a neighborhood over. But that night—what I saw in the sky—I’ll never forget.
There was a UFO video floating around on r/UFOs. It showed a boat dock camera capturing something moving extremely fast. The trail the object left was pretty close to what I had witnessed that night. I’ll try and find it and post below.

First of all, sorry for not replying to any comments at all. I got overwhelmed by the amount of attention the post was getting, and I didn’t really know how to deal with over a hundred people telling me to break up with my boyfriend.
We did break up. I wish I could say I confronted him with all the comments and their carefully constructed arguments. Don’t get me wrong, they definitely did help me, but I am terrified of conflict, so it’s probably not the dramatic update a lot of people were hoping for.
I should say, we did technically ‘make up’ the day after my birthday surprise/ambush. I posted about it because I was feeling discontent with how we resolved things. Now I see it’s because things weren’t resolved at all, he just made me apologize about it without giving me an opportunity to be angry.
I thought I could tell him to come to my apartment next week, so I had more time to figure out a natural way to bring it up, and then when we had a conversation about it we could move on from it.
I ended up bringing it up after we had lunch together yesterday, while I was driving him back to his place. I hadn’t even meant to do it, but I didn’t know how to behave with the underlying anger that I now had. So, in the end I just asked him why he had done it, trying my best not to sound angry as I generally don’t like being angry.
He said he “wanted to get to know the people that raised me.” His answer was bulllshit for a lot of reasons, but the biggest one is that I have literally told him that my older sister is the person that raised me. When he met her and her husband, we all joked that it was like meeting-the-parents.
I told him that he had every right to ‘want’ to meet whoever he wanted, but he had no right to go behind my back and force me to be around people I have cut out of my life.
The next thing he said is truly what made me break up with him. He said he “doesn’t understand how someone can stop talking to their family.” I cannot stress enough how many times I have explained to him why I have stopped talking to my parents. He has asked more than once.
After he said that I think I had a realization. He doesn’t understand me, he has made no efforts to do so. So I told him that after I dropped him off at his place I didn’t want to see him anymore because I don’t want to put in effort with someone that doesn’t care about what I want. He didn’t take that well, but his emotions are not my problem anymore.
Right now, I mostly feel really sad. I know I’m probably better off like in the long run, but break ups suck, and I did love him. I think I’ll be okay, I really appreciate everyone’s support. | r/amitheasshole | post | r/AmItheAsshole | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyb1BobXV3bVFnR2JYOUQxWnhCVWxRakFuOVhWbUVkNDF1Wk55OHJOcUw5SjRGbzFaVkdIc1VvaWlwWlBNaGRWY1ZlcWt2TW5Vdm01clhOVHVJRjJfb3N1N240NjVTZms3V0JjWlltc0Y0T2c9 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzdE5iNFdwQUw3T1BONzZxQm5nRDl0bktmUXVrSmlfQWJGanQ0NTZROUdncHlIdkcyZWotQ2VGbi1HbUlpczd3UEs4Sjk3WjFFVTVmazZzT0p3R2xrLUNKTEVBOWQ1TjlxZDBzTGt5NDJfWnhWX0pfUTJ2WWdFaEFFWEhxY0YzTGdJVUFNcDN5Q2ZiTFZfYTdQVDNQalFNRWNOWDk5Q1FEN3VqSUs1bGFORG9NOVNBVm4xUXRkaTNFQkNTdDFsYXBUYl9MYTJZTEp6MDJEV0dSVkdKdVdWdz09 |
I am disappointed in how the crypto market is developping atm.. It's my third Bullrun and I think this is by far the worst, why?
I've never seen so many memecoins without an actual meme get pushed so hard and then rugged. Also this whole pump.fun is so so toxic for genuine devs - nobody cares if the project is acutally doing something.
I am following a project that I really love and it's fallen below 1M mc and the team is still putting out such good value content and working hard while others are just a jpg and going to millions of mc. Why is good work not appreciated in crypto space anymore?

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."

I would love to avoid this, and be better. | r/askmen | post | r/AskMen | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyRE81Wmo3SXpGakpIYUVWVkkxdGNfdXVLSV9aa1MxcEhEWkl1MmlRNkJzWnZKQmFyRHU1SDhzWWNCN1VmNDZVdW5CRXUzdmEzczduVHEwQlJyV0lGckE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzcUJ4SG1yNWg3bkJFc0xhdHZhZE1yR0MtWDAxRTM0T0F5SVVTallJOFBKZ0ZFeE41cU81a2pJMnhYa09ZMjRxcE83N3pkdU5FdXVxR24xM3RDcnZoZWVTY1RDRnYtb08yV0ZlZmlJX1JrOXdLdm93cjN4aGFYYU9oWkF0am1mbzFBeE5IbHg5SUZmLWhJSE44czEzRmVSWUV6bXlsMlp2MXR6NU5tQTlUaFN5clRXckZGU05zZFoyMGpEVkg1Z1Bo |
A bit of background story. My husband(33M) and I (31F) have been together for almost 8 years, married for 5. For the majority of my adulthood, I have been a bit of a malfunctioning adult in society (have not worked full time since 2015, have not worked at all since 2019) due to my severe depression. I’ve tried various therapy and meds, so far pretty treatment-resistant. Because of these things, my self-esteem has grown lower and lower to the point where I kind of only talk to my husband and have no other friends or family. (Now that I put it in words, it sounds so crazy but true.) My husband has been the only source of support, love, and friendship for the past 2 years or so. I should also mention that my husband is a very private person as well. He’s a big home boy and doesn’t really hang out with friends in real life, either.
My husband, on the other hand, is a very intelligent person who makes a comfortable amount of money for the two of us. We don’t have kids yet. And we get to take seasonal vacations all over the place. I’ve been of course very grateful for all the hard work my husband has done. As far as my day goes, I do chores around the household and (try to) take care of everything at home. But some days, I just crash and lay in bed all day. My husband has tried to motivate and help me as much as possible to the point where I felt like he’d be better off without me and I’m holding him up for all the dreams he had of building a family and buying a home, etc.
For the past couple of years, my husband’s approach of helping me has become gradually more authoritarian, almost like an authoritarian parenting style. Before you judge me, yes, i know it’s not the healthiest. But I’ve been so deep in my sad and numb head that I didn’t have the energy to even discuss alternatives. What I mean by him being authoritarian with me is, for example, he has created a card system where I need to write down what I’m going to do next day (pretty basic household stuff) such as cooking 3 meals for 1h45mins, doing laundry for 1 hr, dishes for 0.5hrs, running 5k for 0.5hr….” etc. He’ll review and approve my agenda for the next day (with a minimum of 6hrs of stuff to do). If I can’t complete the things I said I’d do, he’ll punish me for it in a very parenting way - such as taking away my phone, ipad, game console, locking up my pet bunny, making me run extra miles, etc. I’d naturally resist and object to these commands at first, but over time, I’ve learned that the more I argue with him, the harsher his punishments would be. It’s pretty non-negotiable with him.
His reasoning is that he’s trying to help me, and if I can’t do the things I promised I’d do, then that means I chose to not do those things and thus chose the consequences. I don’t agree with it, but like I said, I haven’t really had the energy or will to debate with him when my head was in a bad place. I should also mention that English is my second language, and he’s a native speaker. And he’s a near-genius, I’m just generally smart. So there’s no way I could win arguments with him.
Yes, I don’t disagree that I haven’t intellectually or socially grown much over the past 5 years at all. On a daily basis, I do consume a lot of social media and entertainment as a way of escaping my reality and coping with my pain. But my husband’s theory has always been “just do it” “just push it through” “it doesn’t matter if you’re tired you get things done anyways”. My husband complains about me consuming “garbage”, and asks me to only listen/read/watch somewhat educational things. I’m sorry I can’t. I just can’t.
Apologizes for the long paragraphs. I think I’ve painted an overall picture of my marriage. Fast forward to this summer, I discovered an interest in watching table tennis games. I’ve watched a bunch of matches and learned a lot about the players and stuff. About a month ago, I met some fellow table tennis fans on a very friendly online platform (“小红书“ in Chinese), and quickly made some very good friends there. There’s one table tennis player I like a lot, so I kind of started a fan page on that social media platform. I’ve been talking to fellow fans daily, I’ve edited photos and videos for my posts for fun. This has been my painkiller for the last month. I’ve actually been extremely happy that I met some of the girls there. There’s one in particular which I’ve had lots of deep talks with, about life, marriage, politics, etc. I’ve been a bit of a social magnet there. I’m funny, creative, and very fun to talk to in the online world in my native language. But of course, all these things I’ve been doing behind my husband’s back. Why? Because he thinks watching sports is not helpful, and being a fangirl is a bit stalking-ish. So I’ve just told him that I’ve made some PingPong friends online and no more than that.
Needless to say, I’ve spent a lot of my time on my PingPong friends and this fan page. He thinks I’m too addicted to it and I should quit it cold-turkey. He asked me to do it earlier today and was surprised that I didn’t want to say yes right away. Here’s why I don’t want to say yes to that, 1) this good friend I made online was the first close friend I’ve made in the last 8 years. Most of my friends are Chinese like me, my American husband doesn’t like that. He dislikes the fact that I consume a lot of Chinese stuff instead of English because we live in America. I really really don’t want to let go of this awesome person who’s become a good friend of mine. Because again, I don't talk to anyone besides my husband in real life. 2) I actually have this sociable and likeable online persona. It’s the first time I’ve felt like the old self in over a decade. It might be pitiful, but I actually have a good sense of self esteem in that safe and friendly pretty much all-female online community. It’s the happiest I have been for however long. I really don’t want to say goodbye to this.
It feels to me that every time I discover something that makes me happy, my husband would take it away from me as a punishment of not getting the things done which I said I would. I know I’m pretty spoiled. I have never fully financially supported myself ever. But I don’t know, this just doesn’t feel right. My husband has complained about me not growing intellectually or cognitively, about me “regressing”, me being childish, spoiled, about me making excuses for things etc. They’re probably all true.
Please be bluntly honest with me here. I just turned 31. I have nothing to show for. I’ve pretty much cut off contact with my family who deserve a much better daughter than me. I have no savings or money. I’m trying to build my life from where I am. I’m so lost in life. But I look around, I only have him. So I think I need a second opinion on things. Thanks for reading all of my rambling.
\----------------------------------------------------------
\*\*TL;DR;\*\* :My husband and I have been very unusually codependent because of my depression. I usually say yes to everything he tells me to do. But this time I really don't want to. What should I do?

I figured out the joke but I forgot. I am everyone and everything, everyone is in on it. I don’t get it. It was scary to realize it. When I was high it became more and more clear but then I didn’t like the joke so I sobered up to get away from that truth. I am two things just interacting with each other. I can not explain it. As I was dying everything became scary and the music was playing making fun of me as I put a dunce cap on myself. The noises, the feeling, what I was seeing was everything. I can’t explain it, this is all a cosmic joke. Please someone help me explain. All my bad trips is me realizing it and wanting to get away from it. Every negative experience that I run away from is me running away from the experience. I then try to act like I don’t know the joke but I know it and then everything becomes pleasant again. Someone please help explain what I am talking about!
Edit: just took a shower and laughed for a long time. I am able to experience everything, experience myself! I am able to feel warmth, cold, joy, sadness, I am the universe experiencing everything and this is my playground. I am currently laughing and crying. Why have I been so ungrateful all this time, I can feel my fingers tapping my screen. I can feel the towel wrapped around me. All those times I decided to not do something because I was shy was just me neglecting myself from experiencing those moments I have always wanted to. I am everything and am experiencing life again. Life is beautiful.

I was just reminded of the 90's TV series "Picket Fences", which had 88 episodes, won 30 Emmy's, had an insane cast, and I'm not sure has any lasting cultural relevance whatsoever.
What are some other shows that were the top shows of their time but were forgotten not long after their finale? | r/television | post | r/television | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyTFhldVN1TVFZVk5NbDNIS3pBNGI1ZXF0NjEtVXNvSWdZdkhBTjRCOUZQVXhoYzlLNzRBa3ZMTXJKRTFfTmo3ZlYyejRyX3RCcWtRd0gtRTQ1SHVMbGc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzM1R4dWlBVG0yVnlReWJ3VzNodkwtbnZENlRoZmduOGZsTVVUZ0pTLVh5MVVyNEtEckc5UThRWVdQeWNSdWpVU1ZQcFRpa2lpbzRSUEF0STJkMDFHaEQtQzdubk1XNW8tNnIyeWxpbk5PUS13VGotdC1DZldzVHFiTDJONUdWLTFjcnVaUGNXT25jM19hSURPM3B1eV9GaVNObXI0WXAyMWpRSWxHeXhrNzd6R1Y2eUhEWkFndkJ6NThTbUZxa25iaGZsa1lzNXhLZzFxS2xQWXJXSVdhdz09 |

My boyfriend wants to break up with me because I am not ready for kids at this immediate point in time.
I know ideas about kids is inherently a dealbreaker, but it’s not the fact that I don’t want kids, just not right now while I am still in school.
I am honestly distraught. We’ve been together for almost 7 years and have had our fair share of ups and downs. I fully regret us not already being married, but that should happen within the next year. He says he is tired of waiting and feels so unfulfilled by not being a father. We are not in an ideal place in our life and I have been very adamant I want a real plan in place before bringing a child into this world.
He literally said, “people in worse situations have kids all of the time. People in 3rd world countries have kids all of the time and are happy. We have people around us that would provide support and hand me downs. We don’t needs “items” to make us happy” etc. I could go on. It all just made me flabbergasted tbh.
I told him I DO want kids before I’m 35 (ideally starting when im 30) and he says he can’t wait anymore.
Edit: Ah, this is crazy. I've never aired so much personal business online; it's honestly kind of embarrassing, but I am thankful for the different perspectives.
I love this man with every fiber of my being, and I absolutely want to give him babies one day. The problem that has put off proposals, marriage, and kids etc, is a mixture of family drama and me trying to pursue my dream career goals as a veterinarian. If I had only not done so poorly in undergraduate, I might already be a veterinarian. I have so many regrets from my past years and I am suffering from them now. I just don't want to lose him and my goals.
Edit 2: I should have clarified he has been asking to get engaged for a while now and I have been putting it off. My reasoning came from the fact that our families have drama and I really was hoping to have that settled before. I’ve also told him that I’m scared that as soon as we get married we are going to be pressured into kids. He does want to get married, very badly. I don’t have any doubts that he doesn’t love me.
Edit 3: I don’t believe he has a fully fleshed out career. I’ve voiced my concerns, because I would like to ideally move from where we are in the near future and he has said he can just get a job anywhere. For his line of work, maybe, but I am definitely more career focused than him.
Edit 4: A recurring argument we have is regarding our financial situation. He thinks that if I just stopped spending my money on frivolous things, we could afford a child with no problem. He has stated that he has cut costs by not eating out, not buying things for himself, etc. He does pay for the majority of the rent, and then we split utilities 50/50 and usually food. All other bills, insurance, subscriptions, etc. (I pay for all pet costs), we are each responsible for separately for things we have signed up on our own.
He constantly talks about how much he has given up for me, and I honestly fail to see it. He talks about a ring fund he used to have that now has no money in it (unsure why). He gets so mad at me every time I want to do something because, for some reason, I end up choosing the "most expensive thing" to do/want—it doesn’t matter. A good example is travel. Picking hotels is a struggle because he would be fine in squalor, and when I pick a reasonable place for $140 a night to split between the two of us, it's too much. I definitely acknowledge that I have somewhat high ish standards, but I don’t try to spend beyond our means.
Okay, now I’m definitely ranting. I am just so freaking frustrated. | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyT21IUEJzMjhKSi1sX19jcDNMb1JGQWZNMENJQUxlWklzUEllNjZycWo3cTJMaGMxUFBvblVvbTl0R0N4TVh6TUk5cUtqcDJ4NGdyUS02Mm5RLTRKV2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzcTV1RDE3aUpGcnBIVmZkenpELUg4NWJFSlVwQl9Ia1FycExwNWVMRGQ3UFh1eE5zZTZ5Wlpxbmt1YWN5WnZQM0pCOHNzcGpsNXlhS2xwNWVqUktwcDRlempKUUd4cFNGcDhqcnZYZUhLSVJaNndJY0g4d2pVSU83bVhMMjVJQmFPYnVtVW1PT2dXNGVPRHhiX05rZnl3YW5HUFdVUFU3SWZLdk84ZV9yQ3JiOXRTOW9uNzh3WGU5NEZlWTJTcjlQVFEyNy16RGJ0VEtvR0JSTnVseXVmdz09 |

A month ago or so, I (F23) was giving my boyfriend (M22) a blowjob on all fours, back arched and ass up. He was getting a whole show. He was away on vacation and I started taking working out more seriously to pass the time. No matter how small or big, my boyfriend loves my ass. During the blowjob, he tells me to get my ass over to him. I move to the side where his hand can rest on my ass, but he starts teasing me through my panties. He asks for consent and I say yes. He slips in a finger and it felt so fucking good. I orgasm, like tears running down my face and I'm clenching down. The blowjob was sloppier and I could fucking deepthroat him. I couldn't do that before until in that position. It felt so good. We were in that same position a few days ago, and oh my god!!! I don't know how he did it (tbh, I was giving him one of the sloppiest bjs I've ever given him and he was moaning like crazy. I was distracted, okay) but he was also stimulating my clit at the same time he was fingering me, and everything went non-existent when I orgasmed. I thought I orgasmed myself blind.
The problem is this: he can't get a good look at my face and I can't look at his face in this position. He loves eye contact. So do I, but I get so nervous when I lock eyes with him. Keep in mind, that we've been together for almost two years. Eye contact shouldn't be affecting me like this, I think. Still, I feel like I orgasm easier in this position, but I'm scared that it'll kill the intimacy of bjs and fingering. It also made me realize I have a thing for having him inside of me in my mouth and pussy.

Fortunately, not super expensive or sentimental in any way, but a week after I purchased a pair of 70 euro gloves, one of them fell out of my jacket pocket when taking the tube.
Not emotionally ruining, but very annoying.
Edit: Just remembered that I lost a pair of D&G sunglasses while on a boat tour - got knocked off my head. That hurt because I haven't found a pair of sunglasses I like as much. | r/malefashionadvice | post | r/malefashionadvice | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyVkV0X3hLVEtWbUpUSHFpeGlJakZHNFVmcnZ3ZFhoQXowaGl3eUtjN1pxbHVmWTdpZjdnekNNemdQbjRwc3F3bldxZmFIM2FWMjlfNWs5MGY3Unc5Q0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzVHdtV2lBOE4yanY2cVFuLXhLY1JBTHVKa2JVSkxyc3RtTXJwMU5RUDhuS1pKcHRCblpBeU45NXNQem8tNEJqN2hWY01rMmZiYS0tVzc3Z2s1SmZPdUl5Mk9vdjlTLXRQbi05TGVXSGpQTVlBcy1wVnhVNUc4c1plUHo0LUl6Mlo0M3J0M1l3bDdLV2NOZDZlM3NqWks0MGMwUG5pZ0s2ZlJrWXExakxKcWc4T0lNU25LdzhycDQzTEtSemZCaEJwTVNqcnZIeDFNZW5jNGRnTXRoU2NxUT09 |
I have recently started a new relationship with a woman in her late 40s. She is about 10 years older than me. I absolutely adore her and she is fantastic, but sex is not great. Her vagina feels, I don't know how to describe and I don't want to offend anyone, but is like "smooth". I can barely feel any friction. This never happened to me with younger partners.
Is this normal? Is this what happens to vaginas with age?
To make it clear - she is not loose. Tightness is good, just this "smoothness".

Let me start by saying I'm not trying to do this to be a speed reader. I spent the last 32 years of my life by reading without an inner monologue.
Idk how long it happened, but my inner monologue is loud as fuck now and I can't turn it off. I hate reading like this. It's making me never wanna read again, I refuse to accept it.
Has anyone been in a similar boat? I'm open to anything, even getting high to make it stop. | r/books | post | r/books | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyaWdoQnJueFRnTHl4UUlCYjBQVW5PbE9RSEFtRVk4cmcyalFpcW85Rl9pdFVIYS1IeUNSeGtTelVvR3NLWVA1STJNTW5LSkFIT2NlMGRpWXFYb05sNWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzcmVaX094OW8zdHVudUlDQkI1WHYzNmFpRXM2MV9QUlBGMUxlLWYxSF9zd3BrX1JWY3I1Tk5MQUYzR1NCdWFwbkRBZnFlYzRYcnB6M3oxSUM5Snh0N3B2eEVTMUtfTEpEUUhENjdPbGZ4THM5YThLV3JxOWdJdDZKREdISXI2Q3c3SFVSOFlpUUNUdjhvb1M1Q0FaWVR6bmthbDRqc2pUVEsyVnlZUVdTNW5MXzhMMVhqQUw1R1RPbVI4aTNFNkJa |
Inspired by other discussion on this sub. My question, for serious responders:
---
BTC folks claim it must be a store of value first, then later it can become a medium of exchange.
They claim that BCH is trying to go about it the wrong way, by wanting to start as a medium of exchange.
__So, what is stopping BTC from becoming useful as a medium of exchange, like BCH?__
Isn't BTC already a store of value, so now it's high time to move on to becoming a medium of exchange?
---
In 2017, Steam answered this question (for themselves, and at that time) by saying "high fees and volatility in the value of Bitcoin".
For those interested in [the longer version](https://web.archive.org/web/20171211055100/https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/1464096684955433613):
> In the past few months we've seen an increase in the volatility in the value of Bitcoin and a significant increase in the fees to process transactions on the Bitcoin network. For example, transaction fees that are charged to the customer by the Bitcoin network have skyrocketed this year, topping out at close to $20 a transaction last week (compared to roughly $0.20 when we initially enabled Bitcoin). Unfortunately, Valve has no control over the amount of the fee. These fees result in unreasonably high costs for purchasing games when paying with Bitcoin. The high transaction fees cause even greater problems when the value of Bitcoin itself drops dramatically.
> Historically, the value of Bitcoin has been volatile, but the degree of volatility has become extreme in the last few months, losing as much as 25% in value over a period of days. This creates a problem for customers trying to purchase games with Bitcoin. When checking out on Steam, a customer will transfer x amount of Bitcoin for the cost of the game, plus y amount of Bitcoin to cover the transaction fee charged by the Bitcoin network. The value of Bitcoin is only guaranteed for a certain period of time so if the transaction doesn’t complete within that window of time, then the amount of Bitcoin needed to cover the transaction can change. The amount it can change has been increasing recently to a point where it can be significantly different.
> The normal resolution for this is to either refund the original payment to the user, or ask the user to transfer additional funds to cover the remaining balance. In both these cases, the user is hit with the Bitcoin network transaction fee again. This year, we’ve seen increasing number of customers get into this state. With the transaction fee being so high right now, it is not feasible to refund or ask the customer to transfer the missing balance (which itself runs the risk of underpayment again, depending on how much the value of Bitcoin changes while the Bitcoin network processes the additional transfer).
> At this point, it has become untenable to support Bitcoin as a payment option. We may re-evaluate whether Bitcoin makes sense for us and for the Steam community at a later date. | r/btc | post | r/btc | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFybmFKR2x6WHJGRGtKT2N1aV9QRGtCSjlqZFh4Nkt2dHQ2aWxtalBjQ3JrMkV3U2Q2UTMyeFJvcWdsU2xCVnZpdldvR0lRRUthZF9LU2VJNnRfTDNINWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzTjJZbEtEMzFuSlZMRVlERlZXZDdhQnc4WTJHVzB2V0EwQlZDOGtoZ25IWm1nWmlFVUo1aGRYTUN3MUliNDBhbFhRSUhfZlFoRFhMVnZ2YzU1U2dnbEhjSkJjNnNZSzM4Wm1raEtucDJtQUM5VDJNTFJzcFJnSWpELWpycTEyTEVrdzFiX05DRkVRejZtTFkxYzJCOVZnRUxubWttTzJhLXFBRzU3RWJtODRONGt3ZTAyQXpoQnNNU1daejluLXFB |
Hello, everyone
For years, I approached psychedelics the way most people I knew did—as a party drug, a way to laugh, see trippy visuals, and disconnect for a bit. Back then, no one thought much of it. It was just something we did for fun.
But at some point, my perspective shifted. Psychedelics became more than just a recreational escape—they became tools, gateways into something deeper. Every time I’ve taken them recently, they’ve revealed something new to me. It’s hard to put into words, but it’s like I’ve tapped into parts of myself and the world that I was blind to before.
When I’m in that state, it feels like I can sense things that aren’t normally there. My mind’s eye feels present and controllable like I can visualize and explore in ways I can’t when sober. I also feel deeply in tune with the emotions and intentions of people around me. It’s like there’s a magnetic field connecting us, and I can pick up on normally hidden things.
But here’s the strange part: now that I approach psychedelics this way, the people I used to trip with think I’ve gone off the deep end. They laugh at me or dismiss my experiences entirely. To them, it’s just about the weird faces or silly antics they see while tripping. They can’t understand how I see this as a tool for growth and awareness—and it’s honestly isolating.
I know I’m not crazy; I don’t think this is all in my head. It feels real, as real as anything else I’ve experienced. Before my “awakening,” I was just too blind or distracted to see these things. Now, they’re impossible to ignore.
Has anyone else gone through something similar? Have psychedelics opened up new layers of awareness for you, and have you found it hard to share that with people who don’t see it the same way? I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences. Thanks for reading. | r/psychonaut | post | r/Psychonaut | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFySkJaX2VwRnBkVkVxRHBKbXN0NTh1eGV2WV9UdE5Gb0w2VThIQ2t5aENKY1g0eHVycGNSdjlNaVZlR0I1V1BMNEYwT0pRX014VVVjZHNQYjVJM3R2d19DS2pWbnJJc1V5ZURNTG93aUJIZE09 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFza2diQkRUQmZPOERNaEFDNl9mVVRyRkNscHZRSWt3VmREcDRnNUcxbllNNEh5YzF5WXFfdjlLNUp0SVlvbFY0ckkwRkt5R2F6d3JYYzlmQlpGR054WlB2dDUxbUUwb05LRVZhUXNWUlBHVHY3ZE84UF9oV0QxY1ZDZVhZOEpoWHVQVl9STVQzYkI2UXpwaGtUeU1MNS1NVnhzT0RKczRZdklEYTd4RHVXbG8yMWowRmVTQ2dmSE00aG9lRkxCNjI0cnBTTTBRQXQ3RVh4SXZqR3VvaS1hUT09 |
As the title reads I'm really short (5ft and 120 lbs), and I can't really find shirts that are not crazy long on me and make my legs look even shorter. I don't want to only wear baggy clothing, but I can't really find brands that have shirts (or pants) that are not just really long on me. Where should I shop or what types of clothing should I look for that make me look less short? | r/malefashionadvice | post | r/malefashionadvice | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyYVdKdXdLeXBWZDZ2NHROakxEU2pJQnZIMnRSZXpMR1ZwcWV4U2I0RTVYaHZuc3AzWGZ6WEZQaG15N1lCR1R4cFk2dkR5eXRNTW9TWXluYk9OaXFWc1didm1qWHNWbHhvN3hsSTdiSTg2S0E9 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzeHh6ZU9IY2JLenlWdlFjM1dPUFc4WjJYRlpDNUNOalk2WTVtRUJsdGx4QTF3WVFuMW9qazlvUXktRExCa0Jld1J3Y1RWYVpydDBWSUZoSG9SWnVaNkFQRlB1US1PdXhZRXdqSGxhZ1RvMWtQU004MncwdVpKb2I1VURPSXo2cG1XcXVZSHVSWDVJbkFjNzVlMDNXZ2JhZktfeTUtTjdNbDdFVTUtTnNabGI5UlBic0cxU3M0VVlRQ0tEekdWSDc3 |
Sorry for only updating now but im not in the best of places at the moment and it has taken me a a couple of days to get my thoughts together. I don't know what to do anymore.
My husband has asked for a divorce.
First let me awnser a couple of question i saw coming up rerepeatedly.
We Have lockes on every door in the house, i don't know why my daughter didn't use the lock on the door
The camaras inside the house isn't pointed at any door except for the ones pointed at the front door and back door the other camara is at the end of the hall and you can see every door in the hallway from that camara.
We have a bathroom in our room but we can't use it at the moment, the water is completely shut off due to renovation of the bathroom.
My husband has asked for a divorce, on friday he came back home and asked to talk, during our talk he showed me his phone and some of the things my family members were saying about him was just outright horrible. Calling him a pedo, asking him how many times he has taken a peak before. I don't recognize any of my family any more. I understand if he actually did something but he hasn't and the hatred they are showing over a stupid mistake tell me they refuse to listen or they have hated him from the start and is now using this to try and get rid of him.
He said he can't ever come back and this has now started to effect his work life as well, he was called in to HR to explain because some of my family members have called his office, luckily they haven't done anything and refuse to do anything untill a case is brought against him. They know my husband very well and i think they believe him as well because he is still working.
During our talk he explained that he does love me and still does and he is happy i stood up for him but my daughter actions have caused to many problems, accusations and made him scared. He explained he sat at the office and at his parents home everyday just waiting for the police to show up and arrest him. He said her lies broke him and he can't see a way to come back from it.
I asked him to reconsider and that maby we can go for counseling but he also refused saying everything is to broken to fix. I told him that i will kick out my daughter and told him about everything i did and told my daughter to do but he said im missing the point. His life could have been completely ruined because of a lie, my family will never trust him again and will always harbor hatred or suspicions about him, especially now that my daughter want to clear things so long afterwards they will think we forced her to do it and that will just make things worse. He said he will always remain the creep in their eyes
I asked him what if i cut off my family and we moved away because i was already working on that, i showed him my phone and the message i have sent ever single person sofar that refused to listen and that i blocked them. He asked what about my daughter, i told him again i will be kicking her out and she will be staying with my parents from now on, he asked what if we moved away will i abandon my daughter then because he doesn't want to be near her or be alone with her at all. I didn't know what to say about that.
Before i could awnser he said again it's better for us to get divorced. He said i will never ask you to abandon you daughter, i will never expect you to do something like that but i don't want her anywhere near me. If you abandon your daughter i don't know if i could ever look at you the same afterwards even if it was for my sake. The only solution here is for us to get divorced.
My daughter came running down the hallway into the living room, crying i think she was listening to our conversation, before she could get a word out my husband jumped up from the couch and put his hands out and asked her not to get near him. He said before you say anything i will start to record the conversation now and took out his phone, i think i saw something break in my daughter eyes at that moment at the realization of everthing hit her all at once.
She asked my husband to forgive her and she never meant for things to get so out of hand she was just making up scenarios with her cousin and her cousin was the one that ran with it, mu husband asked her why didn't she clear it up immediately then. She said she did think it will go this far and thought it will just blow over because everyone knows him. He showed her his phone and asked her to read some of the messages and my daughter went completely silent.
We talked for aboy 4 hours at the en my husband said he will give us 3 months to move out of the house because it is his house, my daughter can keep the car because it was a gift and that he will finish paying this years tuition but will not pay anything going forward. He said he hasn't gotten a lawyer yet but told me to get one, he will like to do this without lawyer but if i want to i can get one. He said he will be fair in thr divorce and doesn't harbor anything against me but he can't stay in the relationship.
My daughter was just sitting on the floor looking like a ghost and i couldn't just say anything listen to him talk about divorce and what will be split and what not like it was nothing. He was talking like the last 5 years was nothing and it was just easy to move on. The best way to describe it was like he was returning something to a store
He left the house and i just sat on the couch i don't know if i was crying, talking or what i can't remember much as everthing was muffled around me, until my daughter started to full on crying saying sorry, sorry, sorry over and over again layong on the floor. I don't know how long i sat on the couch but when i got up i saw my husbands car still in the driveway, i looked out of the window and i could see him full on crying in the car. Seeing that completely broke me.
My daughter and i haven't talked since my husband was here Friday not a word to each other. My family members have showed up to the house to apologize because apparently my daughter has all of a sudden now cleared everything up and she herself shared the video from the camara with the family members.
Evertime they show up i just close the door in their faces, i have gotten facebook, instagram, calls and text from them and when i block them they keep making new account of use different number's.
I don't want to loose my husband, i really don't. This is the first man o have ever met that has actually treated me with kindness, respect and love and now it's all over. I have tried to talk to him and tried to convince him to go to counseling with me but evertime i have tried he sends back i can't, i can't take the risk.
I have tried to meet him in person but he just says it won't be a good idea, i have gone over to his parents house but they refused to let me see him, i have gone to his work to talk to him but i was told he was sent home by his boss.
I truly don't know how to fix this, having my daughter move out now won't work because i need to be out of the house as well. I don't want anything from my husband, i just want him. I haven't talked to a lawyer yet but i don't think i can keep the house, he owned it before we moved into the house.
I really want to fix this, i still want to kick my daughter out of the house but will he still give me a chance to fix it even after what my husband said about me abandoning my daughter and not seeing me the same afterwards.
I don't know anyone, am i really going to loose a wonderful man.
Edit.
I forgot how reddit fixates on one thing. The comment about the house i made. I have not intentions of trying to take his house or anything like that it's not my house, i had questions in my previous post about the house and i think i just awnsered it.
Im not going to try and take his house, he owns it and has owned it before we got together. I have no right to the house and will not try to take the house.
I hope this clears it up | r/aitah | post | r/AITAH | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyU01XeXJtSGxxMm5YYV9YSnpxQzg4WWVWaTBpNDQzNXNJSFNJeGwtSTlOUE4tWVJURlZsZ2JCX2tmaHNIaUx4YWsyMURZVVBfaGxXVWRhWk1hY3V3Y2MtQVgyUVJSbTNpTzEyTnR1MnR3QTg9 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzY0VZeFdXQlNVWDJNd1doX1ppMk42UFhLVkVYUGJhRzkxY09qaDFFOHl0bkFueENFY201ZklobzdqemFFM1BSc3NfYy12UV9jZjlfcHk2Y2NvSlRQdWh5OFlsU0hQM3VLZEU3VnlYT0dxUTNFb3RPQlBJcWNvRERhTEJRYWxRZ3pzMzdZRHBNSHRCb2J4V2hoUDkwajhsZWMyMGNrLU5ra1RQcDBWOWsxX0JOd3VOS0V2LXpoV0tfRFBJam16d2xxX3FFNGpKSDBrbWlFWXdKVlV0Znk4dz09 |
Firstly, I just want to thank everyone for the incredible reception to my previous posts. Seeing the community engage so deeply with my analysis is genuinely humbling. As many of you know, I’ve followed Ruben Amorim since his days at Sporting, and watching him bring his philosophy to United is something I’m passionate about sharing with you. Your support has been unreal.
Now, let’s talk about yesterday's match, a dominant 4-0 win against Everton that showcased both progress and growing pains in Amorim’s system.
Manchester United’s 4-0 win over Everton at Old Trafford was a commanding performance, but as Ruben Amorim stated in his post-match interview: *"I want to be honest with our fans, let's focus on the performance and not the result. "Thursday vs Bodo was 3-2, we deserved more. Today was 4-0, Everton deserved more. Let's rest, recover, and think about Arsenal. the focus should remain on the performance, not just the result.''*
Amorim’s relentless pursuit of improvement is a key trait that distinguishes his managerial approach, and despite the heavy win, he made it clear that there’s still much to work on. The team, while showing progress, wasn’t perfect. But the performance is heading in the right direction, and the 4-0 scoreline is a testament to the tactical evolution under Amorim’s guidance.
[Amorim’s relentless pursuit of perfection: Even with a 4-0 lead, he demands more.](https://preview.redd.it/e6rbrdwzsf4e1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c5adca591b4c9f2f38fedf88a5c07afda5e15d32)
**Performance Breakdown:**
The match showcased a few key themes of Amorim’s philosophy: intensity, team unity, and control. United’s passing accuracy dipped compared to the Bodo game, with **568 passes** completed out of **642 attempts** (88%) compared to **743** out of **820** (91%) against Bodo. This slight drop in passing precision reflects the more direct approach seen against Everton, with the team opting for quicker transitions at times. This is still a work in progress, as Amorim’s desire for control will demand more possession-based play, especially against stronger opposition. The team had 60% possession in this match, which is positive, but the tendency to rush plays, especially when in a good position, remains.
This urgency in the transition game is likely a lingering influence from the previous managerial setup. Amorim will continue to refine the team's understanding of when to slow down and maintain possession to build attacks with more control.
**Key Player Performances:**
**Amad:** Amad’s performance was a standout, and his potential as a wingback under Amorim’s system is something to watch closely. Like Geny Catamo, who Amorim turned into a key player at Sporting, Amad’s pace and work rate make him an ideal candidate for the right wingback role. One of the best examples of this came when Amad created an overload on the right side. As seen here:
[Zirkzee opened up to Amad, who found himself completely free, with no Everton defender near him. Though Amad didn’t convert the chance, this kind of situation will likely happen often as the system becomes second nature to the players. His speed and work rate make him an absolute threat when left open in space, and his offensive impact as a wingback is far greater than if he were playing as one of the inside forwards, where he would often be in tighter spaces. In this particular situation, United is attacking with four players in the box: Bruno, Zirkzee, Rashford, and Amad making the run as the right wingback. Dalot, however, is not the typical profile Amorim uses for the left wingback \(LWB\) role. Amorim generally prefers a left-footed LWB who can cross effectively with his left foot, players like Nuno Santos at Sporting, or potentially Antony, Shaw, or Malacia at United. There have even been rumors about a potential move for Davies in this role. The key point is that Dalot isn't involved in these attacking phases, as Amorim’s preferred endgame is to attack in a 3-2-5 formation, where the LWB also provides width in the attack.](https://preview.redd.it/s713phetjf4e1.png?width=2880&format=png&auto=webp&s=6fc00a4a82f00f24cfc3d6673eeebfb1b1e7c84b)
**Zirkzee:** I’ve mentioned in previous threads that Amorim’s system doesn’t necessarily require a traditional goal scorer, and Zirkzee’s performance exemplifies this. While he scored twice, boosting his confidence, his role in linking up play and opening space for others was just as important. His movement as a false 9, dropping deeper to create space for Rashford and Bruno, allowed United to maintain fluid attacking options. Zirkzee’s vision and hold-up play were key in this, and his involvement in the buildup was significant. His stats, two goals, two chances created, and just two dispossessions, show a player growing into the system. His link-up play with Amad, especially on the right wing, will continue to be a dangerous weapon for United as the players’ understanding of the system improves.
**Rashford:** Rashford’s performance in this match marked a clear improvement over his previous two outings, particularly in his pressing and overall work rate. One area where Rashford had previously underperformed was his intensity off the ball, but in this game, he was much more engaged and proactive in the press, aligning more closely with the demands of Amorim’s system. At Sporting, Amorim often adapted his forwards, like Paulinho or Harder, by having them play as shadow strikers, a role that wasn’t their primary position but one they were used for as impact subs or when one of the inside forwards was absent. These players, usually strikers by trade, were asked to play more directly and operate off the main striker when the match required it. Similarly, Amorim has adapted Rashford to this shadow striker role, and it’s clear that this setup suits him, particularly when positioned on the right side. In this position, Rashford has a direct line of sight to goal, where he is most dangerous. Zirkzee’s movement as a false 9 dropping deeper into space further benefits Rashford’s attacking runs, but I believe this will work with Højlund too, who can offer similar support. Amorim has also been known to shift things around during matches, such as subbing a midfielder and dropping one of the inside forwards (Bruno or Mount) into midfield, with an extra striker coming in to play behind the main striker. This could see Rashford being used to turn the games around. It’s clear that Rashford is still adapting to his role under Amorim, but his improved performance and goal-scoring ability highlight his potential to thrive in this system. I wouldn’t count him out just yet—this role could become key to unlocking his best form.
**Mainoo:** There’s no doubt that Mainoo is a fan favorite, and while he may have been slightly underwhelming against Everton, it’s important to view his performance in the context of his age and development. At just 19, Mainoo is still adjusting to the demands of playing in a midfield two, especially under a manager like Amorim who asks for a high level of intensity, control, and mobility. His ability to dictate play is evident, but at times, he seemed a step behind, struggling with the pace of the game. Given his youth, it’s no shame that he will need time to adapt fully to the role. The system demands a certain level of maturity and consistency in midfield, and while Mainoo will grow into this, I believe that in the short term, it’s likely we’ll see Bruno paired with Ugarte in the midfield duo, particularly in bigger matches. This will allow Mainoo to develop further without the added pressure of being a key player in every match.
[In the visual showing the players' average positions, it's clear that Rashford is positioned the highest, consistently playing in an advanced role. Zirkzee drops deeper, often between the right center-midfield \(RCM\) and left inside forward, which facilitates a fluid link between the midfield and attack. Amad, positioned closely with Mainoo and Rashford, helps create natural triangles that maintain positional fluidity, enabling quick transitions.Looking at the center-backs' \(CCB\) average positions, the trends from the past three matches become even more evident. De Ligt, in particular, is positioned too high at times, frequently leaving his defensive role exposed. In Amorim’s system, the CCB needs to control balls played behind the defensive line, acting as the central anchor. However, the graphic shows De Ligt slightly leaning to the right, leaving Casemiro to cover for him in recovery situations. This misalignment can leave vulnerabilities in the defense, requiring better positioning from the center-backs to ensure stability in deeper areas.](https://preview.redd.it/y467iy5apf4e1.jpg?width=1064&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f86a59373f3f08c1faddf16624a53bfed6ab383f)
**Rotation and Squad Depth:**
Amorim’s rotation strategy was evident, and it’s clear that he values having a fully engaged squad. His approach at Sporting emphasized squad unity, and this philosophy is already making an impact at United. Amorim rotated players frequently, giving them minutes to ensure everyone feels involved and crucial to the team's success. A key aspect of his system is that he often has players who are capable of filling at least two positions, allowing for greater flexibility when rotation is needed. This versatility ensures that when called upon, even those who aren’t regular starters can perform at a high level. At Sporting, he regularly used players in multiple roles, adapting to injuries or suspensions without sacrificing performance. This is something United will greatly benefit from, especially as the season progresses and fixture congestion increases. The team will need everyone, and Amorim’s focus on collective responsibility especially for those who rarely start, will be key to United’s success. His rotation tendencies will ensure that the squad remains fresh, resilient, and ready to cope with the inevitable injuries or dips in form throughout the season.
**Amorim’s Legacy: More Than Just a System**
Since Amorim’s departure, Sporting appointed João Pereira, a former player under Amorim and former manager of the B team, who has continued to implement the same system. However, the impact of Amorim’s absence has been felt deeply. After being undefeated across all competitions, including a win against Manchester City in the Champions League, Sporting has suffered two consecutive defeats: a 1-5 loss at home to Arsenal and a 0-1 defeat to Santa Clara in the league.
While the system is still there, the architect of that system is no longer with the club, and it’s proving difficult to recover from his absence. I don’t want to dive too deep into Sporting’s struggles, but it highlights just how vital Amorim was. It’s not just about the tactical system; it’s his in-game decisions, his connection with the players, and the culture he built at the club. Amorim’s influence goes far beyond the tactics board, he created a team and a mentality that allowed his system to thrive. United fans should understand that Amorim’s impact is far more than just a system; it’s his leadership, his approach to every aspect of the game, and the culture he fosters. And when I look at the previous managers (Moyes, LvG, Mourinho, Ole, Rangnick, ETH), I believe Amorim stands in a league of his own in this department.
**Looking Ahead: Arsenal and Beyond**
As we turn our attention to the upcoming match against Arsenal, it’s important to temper expectations. A draw or even a win would be fantastic, but it’s also realistic to expect some challenges. Arsenal will be the first true test for Amorim’s system against a top-tier opponent, and United’s response will be crucial. Amorim himself has made it clear that this journey will involve ups and downs, and it’s vital to ignore the noise if things don’t go as planned. A loss or a difficult performance should not derail the progress that has been evident in just three matches under his leadership.
The key takeaway is that Amorim’s long-term vision is the priority. There will be setbacks, but these are part of the process of building something sustainable. The growth we’ve already seen in these first few games suggests that the future will be bright, and while the road ahead may have bumps, the overall direction is positive. Amorim’s commitment to improving the team as a whole, rather than relying on individual performances, is a sign of the stability he aims to instill at United.
Thank you for reading! I’ve recently launched an account where I’ll be going more in-depth on tactical analysis, potential talents, transfer targets, and insights on both United and Sporting. Join me on Twitter ([www.x.com/JamesTactics](http://www.x.com/JamesTactics)) to stay updated and dive deeper!
Now more than ever, it's important to back the manager and trust the process. The progress we've seen in just a few games shows promise, and with time, Amorim's system will take shape. Let’s keep the faith and support the vision for a stronger United! 🔴 | r/reddevils | post | r/reddevils | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyUVltZ3Voa0Vja1VXR1JIQmc0ckRVX2JtNm9rbTZZX0UtWEQxMHdINVlrR2Y3NXIxaWdmdkVRcUtndEhqUmxSbUpiU1JValVNOWgzM0FQcW5qZ2QtT1E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzcDZqclpJUXVHR2VZOHB1RkZISWcySFpaajRTaHhrdWNaTzhnOWt3c0ZRVnBjYVNlYVUwYXNHT2hZclFtQ1RFYWEwYlgyWktKZXluanlUU1d5UjhTMGoxRmlKLTU3NE5hLS1pazl1SThBUHZxM2Nab0l1eXZkdHppUmY3cDFVcUFXamZVdU0xN2pIWVVuNUVhaUlDWkRWN0lHSEk5UjFHNEd1U2s2eUdfMjBoQnNlcFdxMGhVSzA2YXFsY21lbDQ1 |
So, here's the deal. I (28M) live on my own and manage my bills responsibly, but money’s been tight lately. My friends (let’s call them Sarah, Mynz, and Jake) have been asking me to hang out frequently, and I used to go along because, hey, it’s fun to unwind with your crew, right?
But here’s where the issue comes in. Whenever we go out—whether it’s dinner, drinks, or something casual—it seems like I’m always the one footing the bill. I don’t mind chipping in or covering for someone occasionally, but this has become a pattern. They either “forget” their wallets, claim they’ll Venmo me later (spoiler: they never do), or outright assume I’ll take care of it.
The last straw was a few weeks ago when we went out for dinner. They invited me, either knowing or not caring that I’ve been stretched thin financially. We hit up this nice place, and they ordered appetizers, drinks, and desserts like it was their last meal. When the bill came, everyone just sat there, awkwardly staring at it. Guess who had to step in?
I paid because I didn’t want to cause a scene, but I felt pretty resentful afterward. When I gently brought it up later, they brushed it off, saying, “It’s no big deal,” or that I’m “better off” financially (not true).
Fast forward to now: they’ve been asking me to hang out again, and I’ve been declining. I don’t want to keep paying for everything or feel like the “bank” in the group. I tried explaining how I feel, but they accuse me of being stingy or not wanting to spend time with them.
AITA for saying no and prioritizing my financial boundaries, even if it means distancing myself from them? | r/aitah | post | r/AITAH | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFybnQ4SF9LNU9tcnIzQWFOUnd6bEVZSWVnSjgzUnBMZmJBREE0TnR4ME1SMGM3QVd5czNZZFYyZ3RiSHliTE1WUGxvV0dnWWRILWRZQU9HbkpNNm4yN0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzR0F3LWozNGZWOEEweFVSanEwYzFDMWdnMVRONmtNdjdfdTNRbW1JSXZFYnE4Q2tvY1JxWFRMeTFqMnhjZ3ZYZWgxOWFaUkI5Nnk1c2VDT1VzZ3d3T1Jyd3lNRmJPWDFVb0lEV0NxS1AtVGI3UmFlaDRpNmU4UTFqVnQ0bFU2Q29RN3RHT21EUngyc0wxcTdkeGtPS2p0dlR4MHl6SXRiWFotTVZEZkRZTC0xMzZaeUZvT1diNDBhaFFDTHRuSk1B |

Well here it goes.
About a year ago I dumped about 5k into a company that I may or may not have had private knowledge of. I thought I was so smart, turns out that less than a month later all my shares are worthless because the company filed for bankruptcy.
Fast forward a couple months and my position was eliminated and I have been searching for jobs but been unemployed ever since. That 5k was a big chunk of my savings and with being unemployed and having bills to pay I quickly ran out of cash. I racked up about 12,000 in credit card debt and needed money fast.
So naturally, I started gambling. I gambled by using this same credit card on some sketchy online casino, I didn’t deposit much at once, usually only $100 or so, but man I realized I had a gambling addiction once I spent over 4k on this site. I was making the money back but then I was chasing my losses and lost it all.
Then autopay resumed on my card and tried to charge my entire balance which I didn’t have and Amex canceled my card. I was still making my monthly payments before that.
So now I’m 16k in debt on this card, 3k on another, and have about $100 to my name. I sold my computers and guns and anything worth money but now I don’t know how I am going to pay my bills this month.
Guys, please be careful, be honest with yourselves, casino gambling and options gambling are both just as dangerous. You have to limit yourself or else you are a few bad days away from being like me.
I don’t know what I’m gonna do anymore but I thought I’d leave a warning for other degenerate gamblers like me.

Intel _ CEO Pat Gelsinger retired from the chip maker and stepped down from the board, effective Dec. 1, the company announced Monday.
Intel has named two senior leaders, David Zinsner and Michelle Johnston Holthaus, as interim co-chief executive officers while the board begins a search for a new CEO. Zinsner is executive vice president and chief financial officer, and Holthaus has been appointed to CEO of Intel Products.
Frank Yeary, independent chair of the board, will become interim executive chair during the period of transition.
“While we have made significant progress in regaining manufacturing competitiveness and building the capabilities to be a world-class foundry, we know that we have much more work to do at the company and are committed to restoring investor confidence,” Yeary said in a statement.
Intel stock gained 4% to $25.03 in premarket trading Monday.

I've read from marijuana advocates that Marijuana was banned in the United States largely due to racist stereotypes around consumption of the drug. That makes enough sense for the United States, but it doesn't explain why it would be banned in the Middle East, South Asia, East Asia, South America etc. where often the drug had been well established and there American racial politics wasn't relevant.
So why did the whole world from China, to Norway to Namibia choose to ban Marijuana and why has it been so persistent when other drugs legality (like opiates) have varied in their enforcement significantly. | r/askhistorians | post | r/AskHistorians | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFySDAxN0d2cHhEWjZSM1lQcklOelgzMXR2bzZnUHNhZEtOMW9xNnlTUEhTUmZWUmxRamJOZzd2QVhUajNuMHJGaWdYYnRyYkFjYTdWVXJQVUd1ZXVka0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzWk5QZDRIY1M2YV9YU3g1RjdlQTBhQmpqNkFScjRSbEVpUW0zb2UxbVIzYkxWQlM0MHJRaDBTM0dJVjhRWk1PVEZfSVhxYVg4Rzh4MzM5am45Umd4bm4zcWhfOWduaTB2R2NaRXVNRXpFYm9TaGgwUUdFX2MxM1JobUtLdjZWZDlTUXRnZmc0V3pNZVNQZmdBOFdHUzN5M0Y3Tmp2U1FHSkV6alV0RjZCMV9XZEM0WFA3MUk1RE9wenloSTg0bERZVWVheFFRUUhqZnVFN1FlYjg4bFIzUT09 |
Last year when he was in 7th grade at a public school, he was given a bible by some girl in his class. I was furious and contacted the principal about this because nobles have no place in public schools. Apparently they sat together in study hall and she helped him highlight all of her favorite verses. I talked to him about it and she really did a number on his head. It’s a year later, we pulled him out of that school and he is still talking about Jesus all the time. I am hoping this is just a phase. I am trying to be accepting and not push my agenda too much because at this age kids tend to do the opposite of what the parent wants anyway. My husband and I were both raised going to church and Sunday school and figured out at a pretty early age that there was so much hypocrisy with Christians.
We have not raised our kids to believe.

[original post](https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1h3m6w2/im_a_former_tesla_engineer_who_helped_build_the/)
Hi [r/technology](https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/)! I’m Gene Berdichevsky, Co-Founder and CEO of [Sila](https://www.silanano.com/), a next-gen battery materials company. My journey in battery innovation began as the 7th employee at Tesla, helping lead the development of the Roadster battery, the world’s first safe, mass-produced lithium-ion battery system for EVs.
At Tesla, I realized that conventional lithium-ion batteries had reached their energy limits, due to the use of graphite anodes. The lack of progress in lithium-ion battery performance is a major barrier to improvements in EV range, charge time, and cost—critical factors for mass adoption. I knew there had to be a better solution, and at Sila we engineered one. Using silicon as an anode material has been the holy grail within battery innovation circles because of its ability to store 10x more charge than graphite. However, the powerful properties of silicon were hard to tame for safe, commercial use in batteries. After more than a decade of research, we cracked the code.
We introduced the first next-gen battery material to the market. Our anode, [Titan Silicon](https://www.silanano.com/our-solutions/titan-silicon-anode), boosts energy density by 20-40% to enable smaller, more powerful batteries. Our tech debuted in the Whoop 4.0 fitness tracker and is now powering multiple devices. We recently launched a [Battery Engineering Service](https://www.silanano.com/our-solutions/battery-engineering-services) to help device manufacturers bring ambitious product innovations to the market, powered by next-gen battery performance.
Designing batteries for cars—a “computer on four wheels”—taught me how to create batteries that can power major platform shifts. Now, I’m applying these principles at Sila to address the growing demands of consumer electronics, a fast-evolving market driven by AI and AR. As brands race to market, battery design has become a critical focus in product development. If battery life falls short, consumers will switch brands, making battery performance a top priority.
Ask me anything about silicon anode technology, designing batteries for new products, or how we’re working to ensure that battery life is not left behind in the wave of power-hungry devices embedded with AI and AR. **I’ll be** [**here**](https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1h3m6w2/im_a_former_tesla_engineer_who_helped_build_the/) **Monday 12/2 7:30am until 10am PT to answer your questions!**

Married for a decade, 30s, 3 kids.
I found myself in a situation that has me sexually frozen. I've always struggled with being assertive and it's something I've worked on, but the mental barrier has always been not wanting to pressure her into something she doesn't want to do.
Context: I've been wanting a blowjob. I've gently hinted and asked, she has said yes, and it just hasn't happened for a few weeks. In the past she's told me to tell her, she's forgetful, etc.
For whatever reason, I was feeling good about myself this weekend. We are touchy, kissing, etc - I went and locked the door. And we continued until she said "what are you waiting for" and I responded "For you to get to work on my cock"
Well, that led to a dead stop. She got upset, declared she's not my slave, and I immediately pulled back. I shared I was just trying to be assertive, reminded her that I have never said/done/acted in a way that should make her feel that way. I was confused.
She realized I was upset and then tried to proceed. I declared no. Was firm she needed to stop touching me. I wasn't comfortable proceeding after her reaction. She later confirmed that she was going to do it because she didn't want me to be upset with her.
I'm not upset I didn't get a blowjob. I'm not upset that she wasn't into it. I'm upset she made a comment that sounds like I'm abusing her. I'm upset I vocalized my wants/needs, she shared confirmation and intent, and then left me on ice for weeks (note: we've had sex, there has been oral, but I just wanted a blowjob).
Now I'm struggling - she's come around, apologized for the language and tone used. Shared she doesn't think I'm abusive.
And now I, as someone who as never pressured, forced, or made a big deal about her doing something she doesn't want to is knocked on my ass and questioning all reality.
I've struggled with being assertive before, largely because of this fear. How can I possibly ever do it again.
Thoughts? Feedback? Was my language inappropriate? I thought my character would make it clear it's a role.
How do you navigate control/assertion as a man, when a bad mood has you being accused of being abusive and mistreating someone you never have.
Edit: the feedback in this thread helped give me the context I needed and great suggestions.
It's also sad how some people came on strong without reading what I said, the heart behind it, and mislabeling my intentions. I was incredibly vulnerable in the post and looking for feedback on how to do what I was working on better, after a bad experience.
I did talk with my wife afterwards, we are good, the heart here was how to be assertive when a miss like this hurt because it made her feel a way that wasn't my intention. That's why I feel frozen. I DONT want her to feel this way.
For those who recognized this, thank you. | r/sex | post | r/sex | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFyS3BkMGZZcVJROThwMzhqVUFKQk9HMDFzcjd0M2ladXdYSkV6X241VzB4djZOeVROdHFwSUQ2dVVpZ0twRFp3cnh3NFRyX3luckhVX3hCTmRwT1AwcVMwaDdFc2lVSDRuejlDM0xHTlR3MDQ9 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzclBTSEhWdTVmREFsQXZJNjl0VWd6NkZreG9rNm1PeDlXX1lSR01nbllrT0ktUXlaZ09Mdk5YVG1HX01uQXRGeTJUMENfLW9kRVpIa29jVDMxRGFlOXo3YmQwQUR2MWpBZG5Qc3Q3Nllxc05UbG1lZ2xJemtwMERLQWpfWWFwSTk0SlRoLWdTYjB3WE5kZ1puNXpKNU5PYTJwNDZxbFFhM0ZkWkhMMFlhMjFnN1Jsek9XY2t2ZkFWanJ5Y0pTTWcz |

I can't think of any recent movie where the grade school child isn't written like an adult who is more mature, insightful, and capable than the actual adults. It's especially bad when there is a daughter/single dad dynamic. They always write the daughter like she is the only thing holding the dad together and is always much smarter and emotionally stable. They almost never write kids like an actual kid.

Ok, so my daughter was only 7 when this incident occured. I live in a small country town and I am an open atheist. As I don't hide it or claim to be a Christian. Which seems generally expected. My daughter wrote the word "which" on her arm and I kid you not the principal thought this warranted a call to me at work. First off, I will teach my daughter whatever I feel the need to. Secondly it's not a crime to if I did embrace witchcraft. These hillbillies need to learn the difference in atheism and witchcraft and satanism.

A two-dimensional maze is laid on the floor. This maze is like one you might find in a kids coloring book. It has an entrance and exit, and a single path can be drawn to the exit. Instead of paths, this maze is composed of water pipes.
Suppose the maze is entirely filled with water and the entrance is attached to a pressurized water hose. In a small maze, the water would flow to and out the exit and complete the path. The water pressure "solved" the maze.
Is there a size of maze where the water pressure is not enough to solve? Can the maze be infinitely spread across the floor? Can it scale up as long as there is enough water pressure? Is there a point where no amount of water pressure would be enough? | r/askscience | post | r/askscience | 2024-12-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFya0JlUnN3TWlQcDVPSVhzcktvalNmYjZxVmVKSG1LWTFXVWFjQWk0Y1Q0WDVVdTFJR2V6ZVZWeWlnc25BZ3l2TmNUUWo3Y3ZmcXhINjE2aUptSnZLbVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5jYWFzN1BHOW1NUUZ1V3Z4UHEwVW9lWXo1VVkybVIwZjVBQXFSTkpfUk1xMnNJUFp4RzFPS1prNXV5RTk3OHJGajNuRWpkaWFTc2RDZVh3cjJwd1JYbUd4OE1VRVp3U1JvcWEzcTRWV2M5dTItaHpMM3Y1OU5aaWlaV29jd1lKUEEzcFppYWRKVlhVWGVRYzI5VUVlMHloc00tMFBqTWdab3pGOUVqN3cxWHFVZUFodzhYWGFfWk1oZDNSQXdNMDZocENIUWlYRDJwM0QxRTVNY284X2RmY3lVdz09 |

I've had a Pixel 7 for 2 years now and it's given me enough issues with 3rd party launchers crashing, terrible onscreen fingerprint reader and mediocre performance that I'm not sure I want to go the Google Pixel route again. I've received a second replacement phone so I know it's not the phone it's self.
I had a OnePlus 7T that I loved and have been looking at the OnePlus 12 but people are saying they're a shadow of their former glory.

If you haven't introduced your toddler to YouTube yet, DON'T. It's not worth it. My son is 4 years old and it causes tantrums almost daily. It's sometimes the first thing he asks for upon waking. And don't even mention YouTube Kids. He just cries because he wants "regular YouTube". I've been holding strong boundaries with YouTube and it's still so addictive. So, I'm just going to ban it from our household. I'm going to do it cold Turkey. I know it'll be hard for a couple weeks, but it'll be worth it.
