This is just a personal observation so do not get offended if you don't agree. I enjoy The Rookie for what it is. It’s entertaining and interesting, mysterious and the cases keep things moving. But I really feel like the writing could be so much better if they focused more on character depth and personal journeys. Yes, IK it’s a cop show and I get that the procedural aspect matters and I love to watch them as well. But it sometimes feels like we get quick plot, quick resolution, and then just 1 to 2 minutes of light comedy or surface-level personal moments. It doesn’t really let us sit with the characters or understand them on a deeper level by showing us their personal growth ste...

I think I’ve been somewhat resistant to change. When I was a kid I’d always fear the next day. I would say that and be brushed off. It wasn’t until later I learned the word that describes the feeling is anxious? As a pre teen I struggled with my emotions because I’d go to my family and express what I felt only to be pushed away or told it’s ******. I can’t cry at this age. That was a theme. But I felt so much, I had to bottle it in. As a teenager I was very close almost clingy towards my friends. I think what I didn’t get at home I tried to replicate with others. I was never at home, I also worked part time in the summer to afford my hang-outs but even that felt fun. Suddenly...

I used to think a mobile-optimized website was enough. It's not. Once I launched a dedicated Android app, the difference in player behavior was immediate. **Session times went up, daily logins increased, and churn dropped.** Players who had a one-tap shortcut on their home screen were just more likely to come back. A few things I didn't expect going in: **Android opens up a player segment iOS doesn't.** A big chunk of my target demographic runs Android especially in regions where iPhones aren't the default. Not having an Android app meant I was invisible to them. **Full front-end customization on a native app hits differently than a browser.** I could control the enti...

Context: I (F22) was really close friends with a guy (M25). Like, blood bros, I genuinely thought it would be a lifelong friendship, until I found out he was making up big lies and talking some insane stuff about me behind my back, putting people against me, he was extremely manipulative. He'd even fabricate conversations to make it seem like I was obsessed with him on a romantic level, he'd text all of my close female friends to ask if I was trying to have sex with him, to make it seem like I really was. Actually, he did this to a lot of women. Typical behavior of a closeted gay guy. I stopped talking to him two years ago, blocked him on everything. It was a traumatic breakup, he ...

I'll be honest, on average I loved the reunion looks a lot more than the finale looks. First of all, everyone looked **** gorgeous and no look was a dud IMO, but I felt there was a much better sense of personality and glamour in the reunion. It's probably just my taste level tho. Like for Serena, I find the revealed corset and gathered sleeves of her reunion look more pleasing than the drop waist on her finale gown (also the color was more interesting to me). Then there's cases like Zaharah and Naomy, who had fine finale looks but much more interesting reunion looks. I appreciated Naomy's concept but I didn't think much of the final product. It was too scant for me...

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m about to dive into my first ever DIY project — building a smart mirror powered by a Raspberry Pi — and I’m super excited (and a little nervous)! I have a few things I could use help with: 🪞 Finding a cheap mirror: I’m based in Tampa, Florida and looking for an affordable two-way/spy mirror. I’ve checked Facebook Marketplace and Home Depot, but wondering if anyone knows better local spots or reliable online sources (like a glass shop, surplus store, or Amazon alternative). Budget-friendly is the goal! 🛠️ Build tips for a beginner: I know the basics involve a monitor, a two-way mirror, a Raspberry Pi, and MagicMirror² software — but I’d lov...

If any older women could tell me how should I behave in this situation I would be so happy. It might sound silly but I feel frustrated for not knowing how to fight for myself, or if I should just pretend I am deaf or something. I (F22) was really close friends with a guy (M25). Like, blood bros, I genuinely thought it would be a lifelong friendship, until I found out he was making up big lies and talking some insane stuff about me behind my back, putting people against me, he was extremely manipulative.

**Previously, on Hell’s Kitchen…** The eighteen aspiring chefs arrived at Hell’s Kitchen, all of which were ready to show what they could do in order to impress Gordon Ramsay and ever so slightly get closer to becoming his next head chef. *Ira: “I have to be dreaming right now…!”* *Ramsay: “The winner of Hell’s Kitchen, will become my new head chef at Gordon Ramsay Steak, in Hollywood, Los Angeles.”* With that, Gordon told the chefs that before they could taste the fame that came with this position, they had to impress him with their signature dishes. While several chefs managed to impress. *Ramsay (to Brian): “It’s a five.”* *Ramsay (to River): “That dish is ...

I (22 F att) asked my dad (53 M att) who I lived with at the time if a coworker of mine (19-20 F att) we’ll call her A who was miserable in her living situation and was trying to move out of her ex step parents house. But lemme back up to why she ended up living in my apartment. My father was a truck driver so the only person who was usually in our apartment was me except for a few days a month when he was finally home and that was very lonely for a young adult who before Covid was used to having friends and going to school. But during covid I ended up dropping out and getting a retail job in 2022. A started at this job about 10 months after I did and we hit it off pretty much right away b...

Okay so I'm writing this at 12 am, and unfortunately, that's where I get a lot of my good thoughts, so I'm writing this down now so I don't forget in the morning. So I realized something about season 1, I have no idea if anyone else has realized ~~Probably and I'm just being a *******~~, but I was thinking what the real world connections each would have with the games, every game has had one: The Ourang Medan, The Salem witch trials, Curse of Akkad, etc and I had realized they all shared one theme *Dark Pictures season 1*: **Myths and Legends**, that's the theme the first 4 games represent, each game had something that was either believed at the time or ...

How do you survive long periods without sex? I have a high libido. My husband can go months without sex. **If other reasons have been ruled out**, and the main reason is that he’s stressed, what do you do? We stopped having sex as soon as he found out I’m pregnant. No sex the entire pregnancy. That was so hard for me. That was the longest we had ever gone without it. He didn’t seem to have any issues with it. It’s been a year since I gave birth. My body has returned to its normal self, as much as it could without a mommy makeover. But now we have sex maybe once a couple months. Except I think we’ve gone without it for four months now. I have lost count. I went through period...

Hello! I'm currently looking for a new car as my old car is dying on me and this is my first time getting a car for myself. I'm not a car person, so I did have to do a lot of research, comparing cars and such. I have since limited it down to a few options, one of which is the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. I'm not sure how to feel about the car itself. I haven't done a test drive on it. Yet. Mainly because my dad was telling me over and over about the car and I feel like he wants one other than me lol Ideally, it is the right size for me. A medium sized where I don't have to bend down to get into a smaller car or have to physically jumped into a big car and it d...

I wasn’t sure if anyone would be interested in hearing this as it’s a makeup thread but if you were thinking about these products I’m going to list the ones I found that actually made my hair look glossy/shiny and healthy. So I have the shampoo and conditioner, the oil, heat protectant and leave in glaze cream and it did basically nothing to my hair! I have tried and tested other products which I see a massive difference as I wish I wouldn’t have spent all this money ! I have fine hair but a lot of it and it’s all virgin. So if you’re like me and love glossy hair I will list the products that have helped. **Shampoo and conditioner:** Pureology Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner...

Hey yall. I’ve posted before, been doing EMDR since last summer. I can’t lie, this winter has been pretty rough. Personal stuff going on mixed with going deep in therapy mixed with seasonal depresso. Lately I’m finally feeling like I’m starting to emerge on the other side of the rough patch I was in for a while there. But I’m definitely still figuring things out, and not really seeing an end to this therapy anytime soon. I recently met someone. And I really really like him. But I’m scared. A big part of what brought me to EMDR was a rough experience with a romantic relationship several years ago, after which I pretty much stopped dating altogether (save for a few trials that did...

Lately, it feels like every week there’s news about another wallet exploit or phishing scam, and honestly, it’s making a lot of people rethink how they store their crypto. Even experienced users are starting to question whether hot wallets, browser extensions, or even some DeFi wallets are as safe as they thought. From what I’ve seen, the biggest issue isn’t just the wallet itself it’s how we use it. Things like signing unknown transactions, connecting to shady dApps, or keeping large funds in a single wallet seem to be where most people get caught. Some users are now splitting funds across multiple wallets, while others are moving back to cold storage for anything long-term. For...

>The Hidden Cost of “Always On” In most medium to large organisations, a significant percentage of PCs remain powered on outside working hours.  No one plans for this; it is simply the cumulative effect of everyday behaviour. * Employees leave in a rush, assuming “I’ll be back tomorrow anyway.” * Teams run late meetings, deployments or reports, and forget to shut down. * Some avoid shutting down because they fear losing open work or longrunning sessions. Posters, reminder emails and awareness campaigns help a little, but they rarely change behaviour at scale.  People are busy, distracted and focused on getting their job done, not on optimising power usage. &g...

*Camera pans over green hills and other scenery as inspiring music plays* Ever since 2005, culinary icon Gordon Ramsay has invited several hungry and determined chefs to compete in one of the most brutal challenges in any cooking environment, with the winner always walking away with an extravagant prize and the respect of Chef Ramsay.
