F150 near me

I want to buy a car but my mechanic doesn't live near the dealership. Your study minutes away. He told me that I don't care if I take their car and drive it 30 minutes to him to check it out in 30 minutes back. The problem is I would want to check out multiple cars and I'm pretty sure I can't do this all in one day. What should I do? What can I do?

I suspect this issue isn't addressed enough
I see a lot of people using the default keyboard bindings, or people saying the game is near unplayable with keyboard controls. Both probably because they think they're supposed to play with default bindings.
Imo setting your keys in a way that you'll have your right hand resting on the mouse (the "classical" way) is much better compared to the default, you won't be able to assign mouse buttons and will need to drag to change the camera angle, but both of those are fine for me.
here's what I use: [Q]attack, [E]weapon, [R]ult, [shift]evade, [C]elf ult
What are your opinions on the default keyboard bindings, and how does custom bindings on keyboard compare to using a controller?

I'll be 20 this year. I've never had a job, Ive never had a car, I live with my parents and I've never lived alone, I'm at absolute rock bottom in terms of living a real adult life or having professional experience. I'm unemployed.
I want to fix all of that. Its super depressing and I feel very behind. I'm in the UK. I want to move to somewhere like manchester, its the closest major city to me. I want to be near things; opportunities, activities, stores, potential friends, without it being overwhelmingly huge or expensive like london.
I want to get into either game development and/or music, I think. I'm not entirely sure. I know those are the things I love doing and striving to improve upon, but I dont know if I'd love the industries attached to them. I guess you've gotta be really lucky to find a career that you unconditionally love, so I'd probably take them anyway and keep most of my true creative energy and passion separate... But, I digress.
I've spent the last 5 or more years fucking around with music, programming, drawing, animation, everything related to 3d game development, and sometimes game modding. And I dont think I'd call myself bad at any of it, but I know I'm not a professional, and I'm certainly not versed in industry standards. I've tried making some full projects, but they've been far too ambitious and my skills far too underdeveloped for them to materialize into anything I can show.
​
I'm in a strange and kind of overwhelming situation. I ideally need to move into my own place for the first time, that place being in a completely new city, get my first job, and enter the industry I want all at the same time in one fell swoop. Im not sure if expecting that to be possible is unreasonable, and I'm even less sure how I'd actually go about it. I know it'd be hard and challenging but I'm willing to throw myself into a new phase of my life like that if the circumstances are right.
My current and very vague plan is to make something, anything, to use as a portfolio piece to accurately demonstrate every single one of my creative and technical skills. With a small enough scope and ambition for me to complete it in say a few months at most. Then use that to get my foot in the door... somewhere, somehow, and then I dont know. I guess Id need to find a relevant job in manchester that also offers relocation? I'm out of my depth with this.
I've tried applying for general junior software jobs/apprenticeships in general since, and I get ignored 99% of the time. The two that've ever replied in my almost year of searching now have been apprenticeships that've expected much more committment from me than I can give. It seems nobody wants to hire someone who's only currently looking for stop-gap work, or who doesnt have solid industry experience already. I get the impression that I'm wasting my time, missing something, or doing something wrong.

I live and work near a pokestop and got lot of spare gifts daily so if you need some daily gifts feel free to add me :)

I have a kid. Let's call him Merlin. He's been a pain all year. Today, he was given a warning that if he got any more referrals this year, he would not be able to attend the end of the year party that we have (which is really fun). I did not know that he had been told that.
Then, he came to my class and proceeded to ignore every single expectation all class period. I opened up a new email and started keeping a log. From refusing to sit in his assigned seat, to repeatedly punching his friend in the arm, to refusing all assignments (even fun things like a Blooket), I just wrote it all down. When he said, "Stop talking to me, bitch" when I asked him to keep his hands to himself, I sent it.
The principal was in my room in minutes and SHOWED HIM MY EMAIL. It was literally just a list of his behaviors, no exaggeration or commentary, but now he's really, really mad at me. He can't go to the party and, according to him, it's all my fault. He takes no ownership over his behavior. He was near tears and yelling in the hallway about "that bitch," which is probably me (or the principal, but probably me).
2 class periods left with him.

TL;DR: I'm thinking of possibly purchasing the camera linked below (obtained from the sidebar). How long should I leave my car parked for in parking mode on the camera, so that I can be sure that it won't drain the battery and have enough power to keep recording?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DV51H2X/
​
Recently I my parked car got damaged in a hit and run. The jerk left a "note" that basically insulted me and left no contact information. Unfortunately, (just my awesome luck too), my own security cam did not record because the SD card didn't get formatted correctly. And my apartment complex's security cams apparently don't even work either. There are no street cameras near where I parked. Just overall a sucky situation.
I glanced through the "choosing a dash cam 101" and the sidebar, and I think the VIOFO recommendation might be the best for me right now. I just have a few questions:

1. I don't know a lick about cars or electricity. I'll most likely have to take this to a shop to be installed (hardwire kit). Do you guys know generally how much this would cost?
2. I work from home so I rarely drive except for groceries and visiting friends. How long do I usually have for a dash cam in parking mode before I should start driving around again so that it can get recharged?
3. This dashcam I saw says it has a supercapacitor --- is this also a battery pack or is this something separate I need to purchase? I tried to find a battery pack on Amazon for VIOFO but the search results all came up with just the dash cams itself.

Thank you all SO much for the help, I greatly appreciate it!

My almost 8yr old son has Autism and ADHD. I feel pretty confident that his father is also undiagnosed with both as they are extremely similar. His father is aggressive, angry, petty and blames everyone else for his problems. He was abusive verbally and very nearly physically on multiple occasions. He uses our son as a weapon to continue to try and abuse me after I left him. Fast forward and my son is finally getting his diagnostic testing after a 3 year wait. It's clear to everyone that works with him that he is struggling, except his dad who told him to his face for 3 years that mommy was lying and he wasn't autistic. During his assessment, he showed significant signs of violence and destructive behavior patterns as well as a complete disregard (perhaps even a disdain) for women. My biggest fear is that he turns out like his father. His father's biggest fear is that he doesn't.right now he is still sweet and loving and kind and happy. I fought hard for full custody but even with cps finding him unfit the court did not allow this. My son now parrots lies from his father on a regular basis. I have tried my best to follow the "we don't talk about the other parent at all" rule but on occasion have had to show him actually proof that his father has lied about certain things. My fear is that, even as an adult, he won't ever see his father's true character and my relationship with him with be marred by false accusations. I fear I won't be able to protect him from emotional manipulation because he won't recognize it. I love him and have fought hard to get him accommodations, an IEP, his diagnostic testing and have been the primary parent in every way that requires work of any kind, but he prefers his dad to me because his dad babies him (instead of pushing him to try things he CAN do himself) and uses manipulation and bribery during the 2.5 days he is with him. My questions are 1. Will he be able to recognize emotional abuse as an adult? 2. What can I do to help undo bad manipulation tactics?

There is a romantic notion that the greatest discoveries in science are heralded not by a grand “Eureka!” but by the humble “Huh, that’s weird”. That minor but unexpected phenomena, when picked at, often unravel well established theories and bring about vast new understandings.
On a spaceship this notion is patently false.
On a spaceship “Huh, that’s weird” is not humble, it is insidious. A best case scenario “Huh, that’s weird” means hours of troubleshooting to confirm beyond all possible doubt that what is “weird” is only a faulty oxygen sensor and not an indication of the incipient failure of the life support system. Even then, one will spend nights awake wondering if they really did catch the problem and that they are not being slowly poisoned by an unnoticed build-up of carbon dioxide. A worst case scenario “Huh, that’s weird” means a dead ship, all hands lost.
“Huh, that’s weird,” said Ensign Mukami.
Captain Omondi’s hands tensed around the handholds.
Her last “Huh, that’s weird” had her technicians spending three days digging through the ship’s cooling conduits before finding a literal rat’s nest of wires and insulation causing an exhaust vent to overheat. They managed to clear the nest out, but several weeks and dozens of improvised traps later the rat itself had yet to be found. How a rat got on her ship in the first place is likely a mystery she will likely never solve and the mere thought of it scurrying around in her walls still gave her nightmares.
She can only hope to be equally lucky this time.
“Care to be more specific, Ensign Mukami?” Captain Omondi asked as she floated up behind the ensign’s terminal.
“Yes, sorry ma’am!” Ensign Mukami snapped to attention. Or at least as much one could in microgravity. She had clearly still been puzzling through the problem when the captain interrupted her focus. Captain Omondi doubted Ensign Mukami even realized she had invoked that ominous phrase and guessed the apology and salute were simply an automatic response to being caught off guard by a superior officer. The Captain did not like surprising those under her command. Surprises are never welcome on spaceships, but she wasn’t at all bothered if this incident contributed to the rumors growing in the lower ranks that she could read minds and predict the future. It was not unhealthy for a superior officer to have an air of mysticism about them.
“Well ma’am, I was about to send our updated positional telemetries when I noticed some… discrepancies.”
“I will ask again, Ensign Mukami. Care to be more specific?” The captain kept her frosty exterior but inwardly she sighed with relief. Strange instrument data was almost always an “hours of obnoxious troubleshooting” situation rather than an “oh god, we’re all going to die” catastrophe. “Well like I said, it started when I noticed a discrepancy between where our internal accelerometers believe we are and where our NUPRT data tells us we are.”
NUPRT, pronounced “nup-ert” and known by those averse to acronyms as Neptune-Uranus-Pluto Radio Triangulation, was the gold standard for deep space navigation. By tuning into the NUPRTs nearly continuous stream of time-stamped radio pulses, any ship operating in deep space could easily and instantaneously have an accurate fix on its position down to the meter. “So there is something wrong with our accelerometers then,” The captain asserted. NUPRT signal data was both vital and easy (i.e. cheap) to detect. This meant any ship worth its salt had at least one redundant NUPRT navigation system double checking the results from the first and to act as backup should the first break down. The Godwit had four, all physically and digitally firewalled from each other. It was inconceivable all should break down simultaneously.
“That’s what I thought too, but then I checked the actual vector coordinates the two systems were providing us.”
“And?”
Captain Omondi did not like the turn this conversation was taking. What seemed like a potentially straight-forward problem was starting to give her the same crawling feeling she got when she imagined that god damned rat in the walls.
“The accelerometers all tell us that we are on our merry way. That we are heading out of the solar system at two-point-four times the third cosmic velocity. Exactly as we expect.” An uncomfortable strain had entered the ensign’s voice as she started to ramble.
“And the NUPRT data?”
Ensign Mukami gulped. “According to NUPRT, we stopped moving about thirty minutes ago.”
It was such an unexpected thing to hear that the captain just looked dumbly at the Ensign for several seconds before her brain could properly parse the words.
“Stopped?”
“In our tracks, ma’am. Instantaneous, as far as the instruments can discern.”
“Nonsense,” the captain heard herself say.
No conceivable force could have deaccelerated the Godwit from one hundred kilometers per second in such a manner. Even if God’s own hand had reached through the vacuum to stop their motion, the Captain and the Ensign would not be around to muse upon its divine intervention. They would be too busy being the fine red mist mixed amongst the liquified metal that had once been the Godwit’s hull.
“It is nonsense,” Ensign Mukami agreed with uncharacteristic solemnity, “But our pulsar navigation systems and even an optical planetary triangulation agree with the NUPRT data.”
“Have you shown this to navigation?”
“No sir. I wanted to double check, to make sure I wasn’t… making a mistake”
Or going crazy, the she thought to herself
“Your thoroughness is well appreciated, Ensign. I will bring this to the attention of Officer Kioni personally.”
While Captain Omondi’s conscious mind was still working through the full implications of what it had learned, her instincts told her to maintain control of the narrative until she had a better handle on the situation. The most straightforward conclusion; that three independent, quintuple redundant systems all failed in the same bizarre way, was so improbable it almost more likely that the Godwit had inexplicably come to a dead stop in the vacuum of deep space. A nagging thought crawled up from Omondi’s brain stem and into her conscious mind. If fault and fact were both ruled out, only one plausible alternative remained: sabotage.
Captain Omondi was preparing to call Navigation Officer Kioni and Security Officer Njama to a private meeting when she heard Communications Officer Wambui mumble something to herself.
“Huh, that’s weird...”
“Care to be more specific, Officer?” Captain Omondi asked, feeling a strong sense of dread tinged deja vu as she redirected her path with a handhold and floated to the communications officer’s terminal.
“It appears we have lost connection to the communication tight beam linking us with central command.” Wambui said in her terse, matter of fact way.
Omondi’s heartbeat quickened.
“You caught me in the middle of troubleshooting the situation. I’ll have more information for you in a moment---”
But the captain had already sent the encrypted command for a full system lockdown and Wambui was cut off by a blaring alarm. Within three seconds, the minimum amount of time some safety engineer somewhere had deemed it necessary to clear any doorways or hatches, the entire ship violently compartmentalized.
Within moments the Godwit had ceased to be a ship. It was now dozens of isolated cells separated by vacuum tight, magnetically locked doors so impervious it would be more convenient to breach a wall than try to break through them. Access tunnels, crawlways, and vents were similarly sealed. Each room now responsible for its own life support, with the particularly small and crowded rooms only hours away from carbon dioxide poisoning.
All of this was, of course, standard issue safety procedures in the case of a breach. Any ship incapable of compartmentalization was only one micrometeor away from total pressure loss. An absurd risk to take even for the most foolhardy.
What made Omondi’s lockdown different was it isolated the rooms electronically and locked all service panels. This prevented a would-be saboteur from doing further harm to the ship, physical or digital, but also prevented crew from fixing problems or calling for help.
It also gave Omondi the sole authority to lower the lockdown, and for this she hated it deeply. To have a single point of failure, and for that point of failure to be human, was antithetical to everything the last several hundred years of space travel had taught her people. The fact it was absolutely necessary from a security perspective did nothing to assuage her.
“Listen up people!” Omondi called to her bridge crew. It was unnecessary. Shaken by the ear piercing alarm, slammed doors, and locked terminals, everyone had instinctually looked to her.
“In the last five minutes we have lost both navigation and communication systems. Given the circumstances and timing surrounding their failures, I deemed sabotage to be the most likely culprit and, with the authority vested in me as the captain of the Godwit, I have unilaterally invoked a comprehensive security lockdown and with it assumed absolute control of the ship’s systems. Does anyone dissent my decision or my authority to make it?”
As expected, the room remained deathly silent. This was a formality whose main purpose was to inform her immediate crew members what was going on, confirm her actions were following established protocol, and, most importantly, reassure them that she was still sane. Crew in other compartments would simply need to accept their ignorance and swallow their panic for the time being.
She sent a command and the navigation terminal lit up.
“Officer Kioni, I have temporarily granted you access to your terminal again. Ensign Mukami, please get her up to speed on the problems you identified in our navigation systems. Be warned, the terminal will lock again in ten minutes unless I directly intervene.”
This problem required her to put some trust in her crew, but she did not plan on giving any more than absolutely required. It was another protocol she both agreed with and despised.
She sent a second command and the communications terminal flashed blue.
“Officer Wambui, while Ensign Mukami brings Kioni up to speed, let’s see what we can make of our communications problem.” She continued, louder so everyone on the bridge could hear her. “We have roughly three hours to solve this problem before we start to take asphyxiation casualties in the more cramped segments. We will not let that happen.”

background info -
medications: keppra 500mgXR, 2 pills once daily. Cyclobenzaprine 10mg once daily. Ramelteon 8mg once daily. Estradiol Valerate .1ml (40mg/mL) once weekly.
medical history: TS (tourrettes syndrome), CPTSD (complex post traumatic stress disorder), DID (dissociative identity disorder), dissociative amnesia, ADHD, ASD, somataform disorder. Microdiscectomy 1.5 weeks ago (recovery going well).
the event: A couple days I had a scary experience where my family almost had to call 911 to get me medical attention. I was in the middle of eating my lunch when I felt my aura coming on. I was able to get myself to the bedroom and into the bed so I was in a safe place. I had my first seizure. I came out of the room asking my partner for help getting me back to the couch (from this point on I lose consciousness / awareness, and this is all recounts from my partners observation and my best assessment). I had a hard time walking, stumbling and almost falling to the couch. Once they got me onto the couch, they gave me 50mg of CBD tincture mixed with water to help combat the seizures. Over the next 15 minutes I proceeded to have seizures back to back. I was unaware through all of these seizures, except for tiny blips in between where all I could feel was this immense pain in the right side of my brain, almost near where my temples lay. Full convulsions through all of these events. The only reason they did not call 911 is because I stopped having seizures at 15min and 26sec. Once I was on the other side of the seizures, all I could feel was this crazy intense pain in my brain. I usually get headaches after my seizure events, but this was the most amplified pain I have ever felt. I was unable to speak for 30 minutes afterwards according to my partner. At this postictal stage I am dealing with my usual symptoms (confusion, aphasia, headaches, derealization / jamais vu). I was aware of them trying to communicate with me, but when I was prompted to speak it was almost as if my own body forgot how to communicate. It was like I didn't even have lips to open in the first place. I was able to communicate with short grunts and alike sounds at the 15 minute mark. And then all of a sudden I was able to communicate again, still dealing with my postictal symptoms at this point.
I don't know what to do and I am so scared and alone through all of this. My first seizure was February 14th, and my neurologist team is still helping me figure out the accurate diagnosis through all of this. My initial EEG months ago read normal, I have 2 full weeks between now and my 72hr EEG, and another week after until I go back to my neurologist. I am so scared that something like this is going to occur when I am alone, and the thought of going status is scary enough without the rest of my current medical complications. I called and informed my neurologists PA of this event just to cover my ass but I haven't heard back from them. I don't know if this is a vent, a cry for help or support, or what. But I am scared, confused, and alone. I don't know what to do.

Two weeks ago, I was in South America visiting some friends. My first night there, my friend and I are walking into the hotel to go to bed and as I pass the lobby bar I notice a this man sitting by himself at one end. We make eye contact and I tell my friend I’m going to stay up for a while and try to meet him. I go to the bar and send him a drink, he picks it up with his left hand I note that he’s not wearing a ring and text that info to my friend who is like “yes!! Go for it!!” I walk over to talk to him and was in his room within 10 minutes. He was prepared. Had wine, condoms, body hair was very manicured. After we did the deed and we’re laying there cuddling and chatting, I make a stupid joke and say “does your wife know you’re with me right now?” to which he just laughs and says there’s no wife.
I end up spending the night and when I leave the next morning, we exchange numbers. We were both traveling to Europe later that week, each for work, but me to Italy and he to Spain. He follows me on instagram, no sign of a partner, and we start chatting all day every day there and on WhatsApp. After 9 days he convinces me to come stay with him in spain after wrapping up my work. I add two nights to my trip and way too much in flights to go stay with him. So Tuesday of this week I fly to spain, we go to dinner together and he is sweet as anything. I feel so into him and on Wednesday spent nearly the whole day in bed with him with some intermittent walks where we had deep talks about our lives and emotions. I asked him if he’s ever been married, had kids, had a pet, has he ever cheated on someone. He seemed so genuine when he said no.
Wednesday evening we’re at dinner and he tells me he’s tired of life on the road. He says he wants a real relationship and feels sad that he’s met me and can’t spend more time with me and that he wants to switch his career and is having a third-life crisis. I felt so sad for him! Smh. I was holding his hand across the table and reminding him that it was because of his transient nature that we could meet and reunite so quickly in the first place, and I offer to fly out more in the future to continue visiting him. He’s also due to be in my city in the US (he’s English) in October and I offered for him to stay with me. He acted like this wasn’t enough and I felt bad for him that he seemed to have such strong feelings (lol).
Wednesday night he slept fitfully and I kept waking up to him clinging to me and it was frustrating. I woke up yesterday morning early to catch my flight home and he’s laying in bed looking sad, then he says “do you normally get into men’s heads this much?” And he keeps telling me that I’m trouble and it was making me feel strange. He says I’m better at not getting attached than he is and I said I just wasn’t sad because I knew it wasn’t the end, it was just the beginning (LOLLL). He walked me out to my cab and kissed me goodbye and kept in touch all day long.
I get home yesterday evening and he video calls me and for a moment I thought I noticed a ring on his left hand and immediately asked about it. He laughs it off and I let it go. I was showing him my apartment and he comments on how my apartment is such a metaphor for who I am because it seemed like a lonely place and then he called me broken and said I’m afraid to be emotionally available and started asking if my ex husband hurt me so badly that I couldn’t trust people anymore. I rejected this psychoanalysis and said that while yes, I am independent, I have lots of friends and a pet and I don’t feel lonely. He started talking more about how attached he felt to me and I told him that maybe he feels lonely because he’s on the road touring all the time, and I asked who his best friend is. He started to cry and hung up on me.
I felt terrible and like maybe I hurt his feelings and I apologized to him over text and asked if he’d like some space. He sent back a weird cryptic message that said
i am a douche... and i think i know that so that why its hard for me to hear. I have met you who's awesome, your zest for life and drive is inspiring and refreshing, but i also have not been truthful. My actions over the last week could/will hurt people... and i dont want that to happen... i dont want you to hurt, or feel hurt, or be depressed or hate me, but i also dont want to hurt those who i should be faithful to. My loneliness is damaging to everyone around me... i feel like i have been more authentically me whilst simultaneously lying through my teeth and that is the "problem". I feel trapped between what i know i should do and what feels right. And even whist writing this... which is so hard to do and admit Im a douche... all i want to do it turn on the camera, look at your face and could happily sit in silence looking at you in awe of your passion for your dog magnets and pens... and yet my being dishonest with you will hurt and damage you, it would certainly damage my home relationships and i don't want anyone to hurt. My inability to be fulfilled and my now newly recognised acknowledgment of being lonely then make me question everything about my life.... Im sorry... so sorry
I immediately replied “are you married?” To which he said “yes”. I was a bit crushed, disappointed, creeped out, and massively angry for his wife. I was also triggered to the emotions of relationships I’ve been in where I was cheated on. I sent him a few explosive messages and told him to grow up and stop feeling sorry for himself.
I couldn’t sleep all night after this and I ended up looking him on Facebook. Yep. Wife of ten years. Beautiful wedding photos. 5 year old son, she stays home to care for the child while deadbeat dad traverses the world fucking women who are 8 years younger than him. Finally at 5 in the morning I get out of bed and realized I had a UTI. I start thinking about the possibility of him giving his wife an STD. I’m completely seething at this point. I unblock him and tell him that either he is telling her or I am and it’s happening today. He starts pleading with me and doesn’t acknowledge her emotions once, just that he’s going through so much, he didn’t realize he was lonely until I said it, he’s going to change and be better. I was emotionally dead to all of his pleading until he finally messaged her the following:
im so sorry... I have cheated on you... I have made the biggest fuck up of my life. When I was in Brazil I met someone... I am in such a bad head space... im sorry. She then met me in Barcelona... Im having a break down here... I didn't tell her I was married... I regret my actions so much... I cant phone you yet im stuck in the office... but please I would like to talk later... I promise it has never happened before... im so sorry... Obviously I know I fucked up... obviously I didnt want to tell you as I know it will rip our world apart... but to be clear... I don't want to loose you..... ive been a cunt... a dick... an asshole... I know I have... I want to be accountable for my actions.but I don't want to loose you... I am so ashamed of what I have done.... I told the woman involved last night…... And obviously she is mad... and want to also hold me accountable.. so she says she's going to message you to make sure ive told you.... Im so so so so so so SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO sorry.....I need therapy
(For the record I will not actually message his wife for confirmation. I do believe he actually sent the text)
After that I just felt sick and sad. I felt like she HAD to know, he tells me he’s never done this before and that’s why he’s so upset now but he had his ring off at the bar and he pursued me for over a week after we’d had the one night stand. I didn’t consent to being an affair partner, I would never. I’m also sad because I really liked him and I feel used and disappointed. And that of the two of us, I’m the one who seems to have more empathy for the woman he’s supposed to love. Luckily my friends are kind and uplifting to me so I have support and I know this won’t get me too down. A couple of my guy friends said I shouldn’t have gotten involved and shouldn’t have made him tell her. My women friends are very glad that I did.
When he showed me had messaged her I said * Okay. Good luck with everything. Hope you get your life sorted. It’s not the end of the world but you’ve got a turbulent road ahead and I hope you learn from that and come out stronger and happier. I really liked you and thought you were one of the good ones. Really sad to find out the truth. All the best and please if you’re really feeling like you’re having some kind of mental health thing and you’re a danger to yourself, get help. Do actually get a therapist, know the emergency numbers, and reach out to your family if you need help.*
I then blocked him and I feel bad for him weirdly and even feel I may have been too harsh with him. I was really harsh when I’d first messaged him - called him a child, said his behavior was gross, and when I made him tell his wife I said I didn’t care about his feelings. I wonder why he even told me the truth. I feel like shit because at first I felt bad for him thinking he was sad that we couldn’t be together ~yet~ but now I’m realizing he was just anxious and panicking that I was going to find out about his marriage and blow his cover. Im out and about today and refusing to move around about this, but it’s just such a sad situation all around. I don’t know if I made the choice but I am thinking that whether I did or didn’t, keeping him blocked is the best option.

So this has been probably the most fucked up scenario i’ve ever placed myself in, before any of you say anything at the end, just understand i totally know i completely messed up here and i could have left early on these signs. I wasn’t strong enough to do so…
But… anyways here is the lil story.
So the summer of last year… met a new girl, thought things were great at the beginning, minus the fact that she tried to basically throw herself at me in the beginning to have sex. (I calmly denied her instigations). That set off alarm bells because normally i don't feel comfortable just fucking on the first date but that was really the biggest red flag in the beginning personally. Now we dated for about a month before i asked her to be exclusive and she agreed and said she wanted something special with one person.
Anyways… a few months go by… and during those months i notice “guy friends” lol. Obviously majority of these dudes are not her platonic “friends” as i personally don't really believe men and women can be close friends without there being some sort of attraction from one side, and already experiencing this girl, i knew that she throws herself at guys like she did to me.
I confirmed they weren’t platonic because i had looked through her phone, and honestly the only reason why i did is because she showed up to one of our dates with hickeys on her neck that she then proceeded to try and gas light me saying that they were pinch marks from self harm. Which was also a red flag i ignored like a dufus.
Anyways one of her guys on her phone was apparently her “stepbrother” lol. That turned out to be of course a lie and i even contacted the dude later on to ask him exactly wtf was going on since apparently she was seeing him while seeing me (we’ll get to that juice later).
The other dude was some guy on her snapchat which they talked almost every day, sending snaps i even looked through her snap history with him and found some… of course sexual pictures.
Another guy was apparently a friend of my friends in high-school and he was talking to her alot as well. She told me she never saw him or met with him with is not even true in the slightest because my buddy who i asked knows this dude, and she’s his type.
There were just like… way more dudes even… but those were the funny scenarios tbh.
I told her my concerns about all this, i told her my values from the beginning and if she was looking for just hookups and temporary pleasure then shes barking up the wrong tree. She never truly told me the truth about any of this by the way. I had to find out the truth myself for 6 months straight because she was making so many excuses at the beginning that it made me feel crazy (which i became because of all the constant gaslighting and manipulation she was trying on me, to essentially convince me i was wrong and none of this was true).
Eventually later in the year.. just random guys started to disappear from her phone and social media, including her stepbrother lol. I asked her why… and she said she wanted to get rid of people who were mean to her and that her step brother is “just like her dad” 😂😂😂
I straight up said, “you were dating me for 6 months and now you want to get rid of all these dudes you’re cheating on me with? Obviously i know your step brother isn’t your stepbrother and all these guys you’re with aren’t wanting to be your friends and they weren’t before”
She denied cheating of course and then i told Her i couldn’t do this wacky crap anymore. I wanted to break up and move on from this crazy bullshit.
But she wanted to stay with me and apologized and said she’d try to change… lol.. but then a couple other months go by and i ask just had this inclination of checking her phone but this time downloading tinder and lo and behold… she had an acc talking to dudes and telling me that even one of those dudes was a work friend, i asked her to show the msgs and she deleted them behind my back.
So i dumped her a second time this time i was serious. I blocked her on everything and she was panicking saying she was sorry made a mistake, that she was different this time, ect.. the usual hilarious nonsense. She makes random accs, messages me asks for me back, wants to repair the broken, but then still talks to tons of dudes and whenever she gets rid of one or 2 some new random ones come up. She even finally after nearly a year of doing me wrong, admits to all the crap she gaslit me about. I think thats just fake nonsense to keep me around since she’s maybe just a hardcore narcissist and always liked how i fit her life and what i provided for her.
To be honest i guess I’m just in shock as to how some people can just be like that, have 10-15 guys on the go, have a boyfriend, lie like crazy and then be so delusional to say that I’m the one who’s wrong and I’m getting things mixed up.
The thing is over the last year i really started to understand who i was as a person, i realized that i made a mistake trusting people who did me wrong once and thinking they would change, i don’t think people can change, i think they just become better versions of themselves… if they’re a liar and a cheater they’ll just become craftier and more aware on how to hide themselves in the future. If someone does you wrong, and they don’t respect you the first time, don’t expect them to respect you and magically earn it the second or third time. Rarely ever happens. I mean even reading all this that i wrote makes me really realize how much of a dumbass i was to even let her back into my life after all the deceit.
I always thought maybe if i showed people enough love or understanding/ care and forgiveness that they would change who they were and respect me more. But you cant make good wine from bad grapes and i think those personality traits are just engrained into certain people.
Anyways…. If anyone had a rough patch with a girl or guy, at least i hope it wasn’t as bad as mine.

I've included a list of stuff I'm interested in at the end. I'm mainly looking to trade up or trade 1:1, trying to downsize my collection as much as possible. Please let me know if you want more photos of anything!

Edit: got removed for “violence” so I’m posting here Okay this is my first post so please excuse any uncultured Reddit language.
Anyways a little backstory, my (17f) boyfriend (16m) have been together for a little over 7 months and it really has been great. We were best friends for over a year and a half and finally confessed to each other. We have only had one kinda bump in our relationship but we over came that and everything was fine.
So today, we were play fighting and he ended up hitting my head on this little dresser thing near my bed. I told him I didn’t wanna play anymore and he continued to play and i hit my head harder this time. I got really mad and got from under his grip, then I left my room and went into one of the living rooms. He came to me and was trying to be apologetic but I was too mad in that moment and told him to leave me alone multiple times. He finally got the memo and left back into my room. When I finally cooled down like 25-45 mins later I went back into my room and tried to talk.
He was giving me the cold shoulder and didn’t want talk to me, so I tried to comfort him by cuddling him and hugging him while trying to figure out what was wrong with him. I lightly took his phone out of his hand so he could focus on the conversation and I ended up being on top of him while we were talking. He has his phone back at this point and says “If you’re not going to suck my dick, then get off me”. Im not gonna lie he really hurt my feelings with that one so all I could say is “that is so disrespectful” as I got off of him and he muttered something under his breath that sounded something like “oh well” as he walked out of the room but I’m not completely sure.
All I could do was silently sob under my covers because I was so heartbroken that someone I loved could say something so hurtful to me when I said nothing that could even compare to that. He came back in my room and layed in the bed but I just left and sat back on the couch because I was so hurt. Like 10 mins later he came into the living room and tried to lay on me and I just got up and left. I went to go use the restroom and he texted me asking me to ask my dad to drop him off at home if we weren’t gonna be talking all day. I sent him a message saying what he said to me was wrong and that I did nothing for him to speak to me like that and I’m not someone he should be speaking to like that. He said he wasn’t trying to be disrespectful and he didn’t mean to hurt my feelings but I obviously don’t feel that way.
I just want to know if I’m the AH in this situation because I kinda feel like I’m overreacting but I’m still hurt by what he said.

So this has been probably the most fucked up scenario i’ve ever placed myself in, before any of you say anything at the end, just understand i totally know i completely messed up here and i could have left early on these signs. I wasn’t strong enough to do so…
But… anyways here is the lil story.

Hello all,
Someone near me is selling an IC4 for $200 that is more than 2 years old. The screen is faded (sunburnt), and you can kinda see at certain angles. I recently had a running injury, so I am looking for an alternative exercise. Does a messed up screen seem like a deal breaker to you all or can I just use my Garmin forerunner to track the work out without a screen? I am not experienced with cycling at all so I thought I would ask for perspectives!
Thank you all

I have long struggled with health anxiety - most of it because I was living an alcohol fueled lifestyle. My anxiety subsided though when I had nearly 500 sober days. Unfortunately I relapsed recently and went on a 2 week bender. I’m on day 4 and once again deeply committed to being sober but my health anxiety has creeped back hard. I’m having some back pain that feels like my kidneys. Sometimes I feel it also in my side but usually subsides when I burp. I know you guys aren’t doctors and I will go and get checked out - but how likely is it that I’m experiencing something serious after being totally sober for 15 months?
I know nobody can tell me anything for sure. I’m just looking for some support bc I’m extremely anxious now.

Hi guys! I’m 7 months PP and EBF. I was really worried about losing weight while effecting my supply. I did some research and so far I’ve lost 10 pounds already (some water weight but it’s def progress)! I really felt like weight loss meant low supply, but here’s what worked for me!

• cutting out white carbs completely except white rice on occasions. No added sugars. No juices, snacks, cookies or ice cream. I only had Coke Zero/added sweetener in my coffee.
• upping protein intake. My goal weight is 135, I’m currently 150, so my daily protein intake is 130 grams. I start with a high protein breakfast which includes two eggs, 1/3 cup egg whites added and protein bread. That alone comes to about 30 grams of protein. I’ll have some greek yogurt as a snack, protein shake, some leftovers the day before, or protein pasta (chickpea pasta). I can easily hit my goals with these added! I also found a high protein milk here in Canada which is 14 grams a cup, two cups and it’s already 28 grams!
• go on walks a few times a week atleast hitting 5-7k steps.
• added weight lifting workouts at home with dumbbells a few times a week hitting glute muscles especially (since it’s the largest muscle). Hopefully I can get a nice butt after all this because it’s been nearly gone while nursing.

I’ll be posting my journey on here because I was looking for weight loss advice on Reddit while nursing. I was seriously scared that it would ruin my supply that I worked so hard to build. I put bits and pieces together from posts that worked for others, hoping it would work for me. Of course I have some cheat meals here and there but overall this is what I’m following!
I hope it helps ❤️
