I’m building Lumix Markets, and I’m hitting a wall on the affiliate side. Lumix is basically a way for someone to launch a simple merch store fast, with zero upfront cost and basically no development time. Instead of spending weeks setting up Shopify, designing a site, figuring out products, etc., a store owner can upload designs, get a store link, and start posting. We also make it easy to do quick AI shirt uploads, which is perfect for people who are constantly making new concepts and want to turn them into merch quickly. There are two roles in the system: Store owners (sellers): They run their own store and promote the actual shirts/products to their audience. They earn a percenta...

Hello r/GiftofGames, I hope everyone here is doing well and enjoying the holiday season and new year. I’m writing today in hopes that a kind soul might help me finally experience a game I’ve been curious about for a long time. I’ve often heard Minecraft described as the original cozy survival sandbox game, and it’s always been something I wanted to try but never quite managed to pick up. While I haven’t played Minecraft before, I absolutely loved Dragon Quest Builders 2, which I’ve been told shares many similarities. The idea of building my own base, gathering materials, exploring for treasure, and fighting mobs all sounds like exactly my kind of game. I often spend time on Di...

I’m ***** (*******), and I LOVE shows, movies, ect. with ***** characters and stories. But my dad makes it hard because he throws homophobic and transphobic comments in whenever ***** scenes come up. At some points I have to leave the room when I know the scenes are coming up because I literally cannot stand to listen to him, and a lot he doesn’t even know about. Like we were watching Grey’s Anatomy and the episode where the woman wants to send her daughter to a conversion camp came up, and he acted like conversion camps are harmless and no big deal, and questioned where the proof was that they are harmful and abusive even though there are COUNTLESS studies on it. I try so hard to ...

Hi everyone, As an ADHDer, I struggle a lot with time-blindness. I've found that having a visual, tangible way to track my time usage is the best way for me to stay on task and evaluate my progress towards my goals and habits. I can easily see patterns in my energy levels and behavior, and adjust my schedule accordingly so that I can be more productive (especially since I work from home). I built this mobile app, PixelHours, for myself, and I thought those of you who like having visual and tactile feedback could use it, too. It's a 10-minute grid time tracker. The grid breaks down the day into digestible 10-minute blocks so you can track your tasks with precision. Tasks are col...

If you found yourself googling "how to help my partner struggling with mental health" just know you're an incredible human being. And you're not alone. I was in the same position as you and when I googled those words I was met with mental health hotlines and list of 10 tips that basically suggest you "just listen, don't judge". How do you listen when your partner refuses to speak? How do you prompt a conversation when your partner is curled in a ball on the couch unable to move or speak? How long do you stay next to your partner, silent, with a hand on their back in show of support? How long do you stay in the relationship? Is my partner's behavior nor...

**Foreword** As I have been labbing, some of my back up solutions have become more and more convoluted. Then I realized I was missing a "critical" piece of infrastructure. I am sure a lot of the more advanced people out there are already doing this or at least are aware that it is possible, but I think you guys at a more intermediate level might not have thought to do this, and beginners probably not at aware it is possible/extremely feasible and easy. For almost all of you, it would be merely a learning experience and not at all necessary for a homelab scale. But it would make back ups quite easy and efficient if you "right-size" your disks, so that is one practical ...

I’m looking for outside perspective because my sense of reality feels scrambled after this relationship. I’m a late‑30s woman with ADHD. I take medication for it and have always struggled with consistency — routines, time management, follow‑through — and I’m very aware of my challenges. I was in a 2.5‑year relationship with a man in his 40s who works in mental health. The relationship was intense, on‑and‑off, and emotionally confusing. From early on, there was a dynamic where he positioned himself as more emotionally grounded and self‑aware, and me as disorganized, reactive, or living “in my own world.” He would say I was living on “my own planet,” like “pla...

I've come to the conclusion that I will not finish my current book before the end of the year, which means I can start going through my books now! I've taken them off my shelf, sorted them very roughly on impulse and now it's time to share my random thoughts as I caress each. One or two sentences per book. Will it be helpful to other people? Maybe, maybe not. And then I'll throw the few audiobooks I listened to in as well. # Books I Loved **The Butcher of the Forest** by Premee Mohamed - Dark Alice in Wonderland. Good cover texture and smell. **The Hollow Places** by T Kingfisher - Spooky trees and liminal spaces. Again, good cover texture **Spiderlight** by Adrian ...

I’m so excited to come to NYC for my birthday in 2 weeks. I was just there in late June during the heat wave and fell in love big time. Now, I’m bringing my boyfriend who has never been to the city and is basically down for whatever I want. When I was there in June, I stayed in the LES and had my best friend and her beau as my companions who also know the city quite well. I learned quite a bit, but am a complete novice. I did my best to make a loose itinerary that accommodates the big stuff but allows for whatever the **** happens. I am looking for any suggestions on places/ things to do that I might have missed. Any logistical issues to the schedule. I’d especially appreciate ...

This would be a small move… I’m 28, originally from the East Coast and moved to the Twin Cities a couple years ago. I like it here a lot, but I do not jive with the politics of most people here, especially when I go to Minneapolis. I should say I am not super conservative, but compared to other places I have lived in Minnesota, I find many people in Minneapolis to be unpleasantly extreme left. Like, not willing to talk to you if you have differing opinions than them. I crave normalcy more than I’m looking for any specific policy. I think it’s normal to start a family relatively young, to not get tattoos and to abstain from drugs. I don’t think it’s wrong to want your neighborh...

In the past, I've found a lot of joy and fun in playing different games where a mass group of real people all roleplay a specific way and progress through character lives, rank up, gain responsibilities, and lead others. This is very hard to describe, so I will provide examples: My first experience of this was \~10 years ago when Roblox had a big sword clan community and different clans would fight each other, each clan had trainings and wars you would attend, and you would climb the ranks of your guild. Another big one was a Star Wars Clone Trooper RP server on Garry's Mod. You would join, pass a training, choose a battalion to join, attend training, and work your way up the ran...

Well, the year is now ending so I thought it's nice to talk with you guys again, just to see our progress for the whole year. Life's been tough for the 3 of us, but know that I really appreciate the company that you guys have given me for the times that I've been in a really dark place. I still can't believe that I'm doing this, talking with the 2 of you. I even sound crazy for making this letter. Y'all are not even real, just voices in my head, and yet somehow y'all are the closest thing to a real person when life starts betting blurry. We need to change though, so I thought we need to create boundaries between the three of us. I've let you guys lead ...

Hey everyone! My husband and I have two B2B on the books right now. Our first is out of Galveston on the Breeze next month and the second is out of Miami on the Conquest in May. Needless to say, with only two cruises under our belts, I have some questions. **January - Galveston** We have gone out of Galveston our last two cruises so that isn't a new port to learn to deal with. However, we have never done a B2B before. it will just be my husband and me so is there any big notes to know? The only thing we were told when we asked about it on our last cruise was to let them know when we are onboard that we will be B2B. We will be in the same room for both trips: * what will we need t...

Hi all! I’m a 23M who just early today was offered a job as a paralegal. Mind you I have no degree, no experience other than trivial customer service roles so I think this sort of a career and life changing opportunity. However, the offer is contingent on one thing.. my relocation to a city closer to the firm’s location. they offered me a large sum upfront for first and last month’s rent at a new location as-well as to pay the remaining balance on my portion of the lease (it’s up in June) I start the 2nd week of January, and they want my decision by Friday. During the offer call, I noticed my partner (28M) become visibly upset or distraught when the issue of relocation came up in th...

Hey guys. I've been reading a lot lately about the insanity that are thrift store prices (specifically Goodwill + Savers). And how they get stuff for free but over charge the people in need. Which is crazy imo. I decluttered my closet and would love to donate somewhere that will help people but not price guage them. (Clothes, winter hats, scarves, etc). Looking either in Hartford county or near the groton area as well! Any recs would be greatly appreciated 💖 Thanks! Happy holidays :)

So let’s just start off with context first before getting into anything here before anybody says anything: I’m 24 F and my husband 42 M going on 43. We met when I was almost 20 and started dating a few months later before my mom kept pressuring us to get married so we did a few more months later (it’s against her religion, family, etc.) We both wound up moving out of state and cutting her off because we both thought it only brought more stress to us, but ever since then, it’s been just nothing but arguments. Every. ****. Day. Whether I forgot to do the dishes, clean the whole house before he gets home (after I’ve told him multiple times that there’s no way I can do it all in a sh...

I (F17) had a cat, Stacie (F3), for now 2 months, she's just getting used to us and being around the house. I love her to death and can't be from her for more than a day as we did get her for my emotional support. In a few days, my little sister will be having her big 13th birthday. My mom (F36) was planning to go out of state to a state right near us for 3 days; when I realized this, I wondered who was going to take care of her. I asked my mom who would be the one taking care of her and there I found out she chose my Grandmother (F52) and Aunt (F28), but she said my aunt would be the one really taking care of her. I told her "**** no", because my grandmother abused her ...

cw: sh and graphic sa description (kind of a vent) so for context in 16f and this happened a bit less than a year ago. I am diagnosed with bipolar disorder and i had a really bad manic episode, after fighting with my mom and it getting heated to the point of becoming physical, i got kicked out. I knew i could probably come back, she isn't very stern, but i was angry and hadn't slept in about two days, and kind of delirious. i was in my pajamas since it was late and i was barefoot, and after walking around for about 3 hours without a phone, i used a peice of beer bottle glass to sh. it got to the point that i was losing a lot of blood and pretty dizzy, and then i stepped on a glas...
