I’m 16F (turning 17 soon), and I’m struggling with my relationship with my mom and her boyfriend. Right now, my mom isn’t speaking to me at all and seems to view me as ungrateful, and I don’t know how to fix this or move forward. Growing up, my mom was a single parent who worked night shifts and slept during the day, so we were never very close. It was mostly just me, my mom, and my aunt. I never had a consistent father figure. My first sister (born when I was 10) has a different dad whom I’ve never met, and my own dad was briefly in my life when I was younger before disappearing. Over time, I accepted that I didn’t really have a dad. When my mom’s boyfriend came into our liv...

Location: SW Ontario Hey all, this is my first time posting, but I can't call the Landlord Tenant Board until Monday and am unsure of how to proceed. I moved into a new place in September. I was previously in a 2-bedroom unit on my own, but it was in a basement, and I recently dove into pursuing being freelance musician/producer/audio engineer full-time, but the people moving in above me kept getting louder and louder each time they switched out, so it became harder and harder to be productive. The apartment became mold-ridden and the landlord did very little about it except fix a leak. I didn't want to stay anyway, so I didn't fight for it. Right when I was at my wits e...

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is asking companies to provide information about "commercial Big Data and Ad Tech" products that would "directly support investigations activities," according to a request for information posted on Friday in the Federal Register, the US government's official journal for agency notices, rulemaking, and other public filings. The posting says that ICE is "working with increasing volumes of criminal, civil, and regulatory, administrative documentation from numerous internal and external sources." The agency frames the request as a way to survey what tools are currently available to help manage and analyze the information ...

**UPS & FedEx** Both companies have shipping contracts with ICE, with FedEx having a large million dollar [contract](https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD_70CMSW23FR0000048_7012_HTC71123DC023_9700), the larger of the two. Both companies renew their contracts with ICE in March of 2026. Send them a message by divesting from their services. **Alternatives** \- Use **USPS & DHL**.

# A Question to Society  By  What is happening in the United States sickens me. I have thought about writing for weeks, but never acted. After seeing the unrest and death on full display this morning with another killing of a protester exercising his right to protest, may I remind you also in the freezing cold. I felt obligated to not only speak up but to give my view in hopes others will see.  Over the last few years I have taken up reading as a hobby. Throughout that time I’ve read a lot of awesome books such as David Goggins “Can’t Hurt Me” Or Phil Knight's Memoir “Shoedog”. These books share themes of Strength, Resilience and Perseverance in times of  doubt, uncer...

I was able to do iron contribution on challenge but the rest feel impossible to me. Any of them that have increased wave difficulty. Obviously this is user error, it just seems like you need to upgrade weapons or shields in the first couple rounds or you’ll die but then you can’t upgrade your speed mining etc fast enough. What should I be doing? For example I was trying projectile **** and used shield and dome armor and still died on wave 5. I did showdown and had everything fully upgraded aside from the final level of damage on laser because of how slow it moves and died with 4-5 of the big antler dudes left. Used furnace and repellent on that one. Not sure how I could do more but I kno...

I’m not talking about big systems or major life changes, just one small habit that quietly made your day-to-day work better. For me, it was forcing myself to write down *why* I’m doing something before starting. Even a single sentence. It sounds basic, but it cuts down a lot of wasted effort and second-guessing. I’m curious what’s worked for others. Something simple you didn’t expect to matter, but actually did. Could be related to focus, planning, learning, or even avoiding burnout.

Back in August last year, my friend and i were scumming around online for Playstation Dev kits because he quote "wanted to be the next guy to find the next big prototype." To our luck, we found one for the PS5, and we went down to the seller and my friend got out of the car to go make the transaction. After we got home, we started it up and found what i think is a super late Prototype of HK Silksong, and when we started playing through it, it seemed like everything was the same as Release, except there were a lot more Enemy types. Oddly enough, these enemies didn’t \*seem\* like enemies, including the wounded Pilgrims at Songclave, and a bunch of other Pilgrims, for some reason. ...

I’ve had this issue since last year. It usually happens after buying games, or gifting games to friends. Suddenly this pops up: **Request could not be completed** And that’s it. No more purchases. No gifts. Nothing works anymore. I’ve gone back and forth with Meta support **20+ times**. After being locked, unlocked, then locked again… I started to notice some patterns. How to get it unlocked (from my experience): 1. Talking to support doesn’t really help They reply, but it feels more like stalling than fixing anything. 2. The lock only clears by waiting There’s no instant fix. 3. Just waiting does nothing You *have* to actually use the headset. Play games. Every day. ...

I broke up with my girlfriend who I have spent practically everyday with for the last 2 years because I kept having these thoughts for the last month and a bit that I wanted to end it with her because she wasn’t pretty enough or her body isn’t what I like, or her personality was boring and many other things, but why would I think this way when it’s not true. I just could not stop thinking this way it was driving me nuts, so nuts it got the point I would have anxiety/panic attacks and get stone cold (I’m a very anxious person) I’m not sure why I felt this way. Was it I fell out of love with her, I was scared we were so in love, scared of fully committing, I didn’t think she was th...

Hi Reddit, Apologies, this is probably going to be a long one, anyway here it goes. My partner and I seem to be struggling a lot in the last month or so, we've been together for 7 years and in that time have thought of ourselves as being the one for each other. However, back in the beginning of the year we had a conversation where she told me that I wasn't pulling my weight in the relationship, and she wasn't happy with how long it was taking me to respond to her and didn't like the tone I spoke in sometimes. Fair enough, I didn't know, and although I felt absolutely gutted as it came out of no-where, though I was still glad she communicated it with me, so I can tr...

I’m a 16F (turning 17 soon). Growing up, I was never very close to my mom. She was a single parent who worked night shifts and slept during the day, so we didn’t spend much time together. It was mostly just me, my mom, and my aunt growing up. I never really had a father figure. My mom had my first sister when I was 10, and my sister has a different dad whom I have never met. I don’t know him at all. My own dad was briefly in my life when I was 7, but after that we lost contact and he never came back. Over time, I accepted that I didn’t really have a dad. When my first sister was born, I felt like I had to grow up fast and help raise her. During middle school, I struggled a lot emot...

I saw this at Costco today and was considering picking it up. Has anyone tried this? How is the consistency and flavor? Is this similar to the Fairlife Chocolate Protein shake bottle?

I'm a married dad of 2 energy vampires and 41 years old. I'm looking for someone that is similar to me and that is maybe around the same age or close to get to know. Being a parent is definitely a plus so we could talk about if we are raising our kids the right way or what we are doing wrong in some instances...which seems like everything when it comes to them! If you game, that is another bonus because that is a huge part of my life. It's my escape after a long day of work and hanging with the kids. So if that's something you can relate to, stop by! I absolutely love talking about anything nostalgic and growing up in the 80s/90s/early 2000s. I wasn't the most soci...

Do we know if developers are getting hold of the new Steam Controller, and if Valve are helping Devs with implementing Steam Input properly? Steam Input has been out for many many years, but it's only a minority of publishers that seem to ever properly use it, it also makes it confusing in the store, because even when games don't fully use Steam Input, it still gets the "Steam input API" tag, it probably uses it in the most bare-minimum way possible. I just really want devs to take advantage of the Steam Controller 2, like devs take advantage of the DualShock 5, Steam input is great because you can use it to make many games playable, or a much nicer layout to your prefe...

Not averse to the social niceties of nobility, she still prefered more athletic pursuits. Friendly and confident, some of this has taken a slight knock since her homeland was conquered by a neighbouring nation. May the gods help the man responsible for that invasion because she will have none. \[Note: Exalte...

I started my Reddit journey as a lurker when it premiered. This was a place that I would come to for insight re: technical/gaming ****. It seems to have morphed into a political platform as of late. I'm curious to hear from the young people (I'm 53) about what changed and when. I have two teen children....I'm feeling ambivalent about the world that they will enter as 'adults'. What's the gig? I am not political myself....I grew up in Austin, TX, skateboarding, watching Butthole Surfers, Bad Brains, Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedy's, Big Boys, Nice Strong Arm shows, etc., while tripping balls on the weekends. That formed me. I definitely have a different perspe...

hi techseo - long time lurker, first time poster (appreciate everything i've learned here!). In the past few months using coding agents to build websites has really taken off. I noticed amongst clients a lot of scrappy websites and webapps being deployed riddled with issues. I found that the loop with the current seo / audit tools to be a bit too slow in this use case - scans would run weekly, or monthly - or often, never - and they wouldn't catch some of the issues that are coming up now with "vibe coded" or vibe-edited websites and apps. I've had my own crawler that i've been using for ~8+ years - I ported it to typescript + bun, optimised it with some rust ...
