Hello, I (21M) think my friend (20M) is in a controlling relationship with his girlfriend (20F) of roughly three years. I am in the UK. I should preface this by saying that, neither myself, nor others in my friend group have ever been fans of her. But recently, we have started to become concerned that it is becoming more sinister - and we would appreciate some outside opinions. Over the past few months, we have noticed some worrying behaviour. He has spent a lot of time with her, but very little time with anyone else (including us) - although this doesn't seem to be him *choosing* to spend time with her, he would say that he "has to" spend time with her. Whenever he is wit...

Hey everyone! I’m a software engineer and I’ve just finished building an app called **Flowmate,** a new kind of **habit tracking / journaling / productivity / AI** app. The idea came to me after watching Alex Hormozi’s videos, where he explains that success doesn’t come from *whether* you do something, but from *how much* you do it. For example, it’s not enough to “go running every day” if you only run 500m. The *quantity* matters. I realized that all the existing habit-tracking apps focus only on **yes/no checkmarks** , “Did you run today?” But I wanted something that actually lets you **track how much** you did: * How many **kilometers** you ran * How many **pag...

It's been going on for a while at Grace Church off Georgia Ave all year, big noisy & pungent diesel trucks starting all throughout the day, and idling for long periods... I can't even leave my room windows open on good days because of the smoke .. Apparently they're renting out their lot for big rig parking?

Hello! I'm currently looking for grey cats, dogs, ants, mice, and lastly minion chicks and Persian cats. (Maybe donkeys too, let me know in comments!) I prefer a lot of one pet instead of a big mix but I'll take what I can get :) (Ex. I would prefer 6 grey cats vs 2 ants, 1 mouse, and 3 dogs, but would still take) These are what I'm trading: Neon Bakeneko (19-22 commons, 5 persians + add, 3 minion chicks, or 2 chicks + add) Diamond Griffin (30-35 commons, 9-10 persians, or 4 minion chicks, these are all L for me) Cold Cube (7 commons, 1 persian + add, or 2 persians) Sloth (10 commons, 2 persians + add, or 1 minion chick + add) Ghost Chick (5 commons, 1 persian + add) ...

Yes, I'm a Destiny 2 hater. Yes, I play Destiny 2. We ~~are probably all that's left~~ exist. Hiya, you can call me Nyx for now, 26 MtF, based in Pacific Time. I was an OG Destiny 1 player, and got super *super* obsessed with it, but ended up losing interest a couple of years ago and quit right after the 2024 expansion, The Final Shape. With the latest Star Wars themed *sighs in exasperation* expansion, Renegades, coming out soon, I figured it'd be a good time to hop back into it. Whether you're an fresh New Light, an experienced Guardian, or like me looking for someone to get used to all the new changes with, I'd love to have you on my fireteam! Loredumps are av...

Just like a lot of people, I’ve made plenty of mistakes running Facebook ads. Some of them were so small I didn’t even realize they were mistakes until much later. These are 3 of the biggest ones that hurt my campaigns. # #1 Increasing Ad Spend Too Quickly One of the first mistakes I made running Facebook ads was increasing my ad spend too quickly. The campaign I was running was bringing in a solid amount of leads, so I bumped the budget from $30/day to $50/day. I thought it would just bring in more leads faster, but it did the opposite. After increasing the budget, my campaign had a few days of poor results. On the outside, it looked strange. Why would a campaign do...

Hello! I just bought Oathswarn online because I saw a lot of videos in YouTube recommending it. But after I bought it I went on Reddit and saw some negative comments regarding the combat. Saying it's to repetitive after some chapter's. I like to play Mage Knight and Robinson Crusoe and I was looking for a big campaign game. So should I cancel the order or wait dor it? Many thanks!

I (31m) have had a drinking problem since I was 17. I needed to go to every party and get drunk, have had 3 dui charges and two accidents, one involving a motorcycle that banged up my body pretty bad. Ive been fired from multiple jobs. I’ve been kicked out of the delayed entry program twice(1 marines, 1 Army). I’ve ****** off my family many times. I didn’t care if I was hurting myself, so I never changed. But recently I did something that’s going to make me never look at myself the same. I let my addiction to alcohol hurt the love of my life. But my most recent **** up, I’m not sure I’ll ever truly get over…I went sober for 4-5 months and started turning my life around, I had...

Not to give out lots of personal info, just wanted to share my story. And a disclaimer that I did use chatgpt to make it more cohesive because I **** at writing stories. So this job has been my "home" for 18 years. It was the first one I applied to moving to USA and so I've stayed here. It's like it's been there for most of my actual adult life - my routine, security and probably also my identity. I know every number, password, their weird ****** ERP. Ppl would joke that if I leave, the whole company would collapse, guess in the end that's what it seems to become like. I had been loyal and dependable, thought that's what it meant to be valued. But the inc...

Press-on nails have totally changed the game for anyone who wants salon-level nails without the hassle or price tag. After running through a bunch of brands, I can tell you—there are some massive differences out there. **The best high-quality press-on nail brands stick like crazy, look super natural, and honestly can last up to two weeks if you apply them right.** Once you try a premium set, you’ll notice it immediately. High-end brands use better materials, offer more sizes that actually fit, and toss in pro tools that make everything easier. They’ve really nailed the formula so your press-ons look and feel like you just walked out of a fancy salon. Let’s get into what makes cer...

Press-on nails seriously changed the way I do my nails—no more endless salon trips or dropping cash every few weeks. Black press-ons, especially, are my go-to for that “I tried but didn’t try” look that somehow works with everything. **The best black-owned press-on nail stores for minimal aesthetics include Pear Nova, The Editorial Nail, and IGL Nails, which specialize in sleek, understated designs that prioritize quality and wearability.** These brands keep things sophisticated without going overboard, so you can rock them at work or just hanging out. Picking out black press-ons isn’t just about the color. The shape, the finish, and honestly, the whole vibe of the brand matter a...

Press-on nails are no longer just a quick fix—they've totally become a legit alternative to salon manicures. Etsy is honestly the best spot to find these, with handmade designs you just won't see anywhere else. **The best-rated Etsy sellers? They consistently deliver unique, high-quality press-ons with hand-painted details and custom vibes that **** away anything mass-produced.** What makes Etsy special is the creativity and skill of individual artists. Every set feels like someone poured their heart into it. From glitter ombré to wild marble, neon pops, and classic French tips, these sellers have basically every style covered. A lot of the top shops go all-in on luxury finis...

Press-on nails have come a long way, honestly. They’re now a legit salon-quality beauty fix, but let’s be real: tracking down ones that still look fresh after a few wears? That’s a whole other challenge. **The best reusable press-on nails keep their shine, color, and shape—if you stick with the right brands and don’t skip out on care.** I’ve tried more sets than I care to admit, just to see which ones actually live up to the “reusable” hype. Turns out, it’s all about the materials and how you clean and store them. A lot of people give up after their first set looks trashed, but the good ones use sturdy stuff that won’t scratch or fade so fast. I’ll break down which b...

I'm not sure if this is allowed but, I want to share a story, and I'm interested in feedback. Some guy I had interacted with a lot (through the IDLES fan community) was organising a mini music festival in Weston-Super Mare and i sat there most of the time on my phone. There people there were attending that I knew online, there were people who loved similar bands to me, people who even I spoke to many times in person. But i was silent much of the time, although i spoke to some people when they spoke to me. I've never ***** pubs, I like socialising, although I am also a bit of a loner, but I find big gatherings hard. I've nearly ran away from some in tears because I fi...

I'm a 44 year old male. And I'm really crushing on this 42 year old woman who I know. The other day we had to do a photo, just the two of us and while we were originally standing next to each other it felt a bit awkward. I just felt like she wanted to be closer so I put my hand on her shoulder and she moved in close to me and said thank you. so that was one thing. and later on the same day we were at her car and I said hang on a second I went to my car and I grabbed her a small gift I had picked her up earlier. And I gave it to her and it was a total surprise and she looked at it and she laughed and absolutely loved the gift and gave me an incredibly hard hug, and while she was d...

I don’t want to say I have no energy— I am fit and do a lot everyday. But for instance, I just went out and harvested some veggies from my garden. It took me having that on the to-do list for 4 days before doing. And now after being out there for 30 minutes, the next task of rinsing and storing feels too much, so they’re just sitting there, and I’m on the couch typing here. This is how a lot of life feels. Like often so laborious and painful to get myself to complete tasks. Context: I do work a very admin intensive fast paced job, at least 8 hours a day. Maybe I just can’t handle more? But when times are slow, I still feel like such inertia and really need to overcome being a b...

I have about 200 plushies of all types including about 100-150 standard size squishmellows that I intended to flip but wanted to first offer to families with kids who spent the Christmas money when SNAP was withheld. Also have a GameCube and PS3 with games I don’t touch and am looking at my storage for good condition toys for all ages. If your tree is looking sparse and u have a child who likes squishmellows or of any age/gender where I might have a good hand me down for comment here and I’ll happily donate so your kids don’t have to feel the squeeze of this heartless situation on a day that should be protecting their innocence will post more toys when I look through storage but be...

I’m not sure how many of you have been following the news lately, but there have been several unsavory news items very recently (and I’m not even going to count any of the ones related to the Palestine boycott, because that has been ongoing for years now). Red Cup Day happens around the same time every year. This is consistently one of Starbucks’ busiest days. Because of this, Red Cup Day is targeted as a potential date for workers to strike over unfair working conditions, union busting, and any other relevant unethical actions that Starbucks has taken. This year, Red Cup Day is on November 13th. [Starbucks Workers United has announced their plans to strike,](https://www.forb...

I'm hoping to spark a discussion on something that seems like a no-brainer for everyone involved: pre-orders for those notoriously hard-to-get, highly anticipated seasonal items, especially the popular cups, tumblers, partnership deals, etc. ​The current system, where it's a mad dash on launch day, creates problems for everyone. A pre-order system would solve a lot of these headaches: **​🌟 Benefits for Starbucks (The Bottom Line)** ▪︎​Accurate Demand Forecasting: Starbucks could collect real, confirmed order data. No more guessing how many of the limited-edition Bearistas they actually need, which drastically reduces the risk of both under-stocking (lost sales) an...

My boyfriend has always had a temper. In the past we had issues with him calling my names/screaming at me. He would apologize & rectify it & promise to be different & honestly he did work on it and change. I have my faults but I’m very level headed & even when I’m mad it takes A LOT for me to yell or explode. I do however value talking about things and **** for there to be unresolved problems or tension. He isn’t good at this. He would rather be silent & mad & storm around & will not talk about his feelings. I’m pregnant with his baby & we moved in together 4 months ago. I’m being induced next week & our b...
