Note: A few things, firstly I have never written anything like this, nor posted a story on Reddit, let alone this sub. That being said I don't know if I'm doing any of this right. If I incorrectly posted this, I would love to be redirected. I have struggled to receive any feedback on the story, so that is also more than welcome. Also I didn't want to separate the story like this, unfortunately it is over 40,000 characters and a 24 hour limit on posts means I have to. The story is meant to be read all at once but I'll get over it. If just one person reads this I would be incredibly happy. # Chapter I My name is Robert Aldrich. I live in a small college town on the northe...

I took a trip New Mexico recently and recognized a place that I had a dream about a few days prior. I had never been to NM before. In my dream, I was standing on a corner of a 4 way stop, or a cross road I suppose. I was asking anyone who walked by if they had a podium I could use, for a speech I needed to give. I guy came walking from across the street, kitty-corner, from a building. In my dream he was dressed in blue jeans, cowboy boots, a black long sleeve, button down shirt, a denim jack and a black belt with a silver belt buckle with turquoise stone in it. He was a Native American guy with short cut hair and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. He asked what I needed and I told him...

I didn’t wake up planning to compete in the “my boyfriend’s ex is unhinged” Olympics, but here we are, and I would like to thank the judges in advance. My boyfriend and I have been together almost five years. We met about six months after he escaped a five-year relationship with his ex. I’m changing her name because she would absolutely thrive on the attention, so let’s call her L. Their relationship was less “romantic partnership” and more “soft-launch hostage situation.” She slowly isolated him from friends and family, decided his relationship with his mother was “unhealthy,” and monitored his social life like a paranoid HR department. Say the wrong thing? Silent tr...

Pinterest was the biggest instigator of my shopping addiction. More than any influencer, more than haul videos or whatever. What got me the most was pinterest images and category specific subreddits. Both showed beautiful images of real people's collections, styles, and shop advertisements all at once. I should have known better. I did know better, but my eyes and heart were so bent on the newest item I saw that it wouldn't leave my mind after a few weeks. My hyper fixation? Fine and Demi-fine Jewelry. Boy, was it expensive. I kept buying what caught my eye that wouldn't leave my mind. I was inspired by the maximalist stackers. One store in particular had such beautifully s...

right so pretty much i wanna get cooler clothes. think streetwear / grunge type stuff yk. but my issue is im broke as **** and cant drive nor work, so what are some relatively inexpensive places to find more alternative clothes? online sites and actual stores, doesnt matter, just need to hear some other peoples ideas because the closest thrift to me is an hour drive away and full of clothing meant for grandmas

Hey r/androidgaming, My name is Dylan and I've spent the past 2 years making a Diablo 2 inspired RPG called Prado Traveler. The twist is, all progression in the game is linked to your real-world steps. It's been a great motivator for getting me and my friends outside! There's 5 playable classes, and you can party up with up to 3 of your friends to explore zones, fight monsters, collect loot, and compete in PvP arenas. **Season 7 launched earlier today**, so it’s a great time to jump in. This season we added: * New crafting professions: **Tailoring + Leatherworking** * New **Enchanting** system (disenchant items → re-roll affixes) * A big gear overhaul: **Cloth / Leath...

Hi all, I could really use some advice and tips from this sub. Moved to Washington a few years ago and since moving here had used a temp regulated indoor storage company for our camping gear. Since moving into a new house about a year ago, we were so glad to be able to have an outdoor shed so we could easily access our camping gear… little did I know all the challenges that comes with storing these fabric items in a outdoor shed. I just was in there the other day and noticed some items have mildew and or mold. Lots of little crevices, netting, etc. seem to be the prime locations for it. For what it’s worth, these photos attached are the worst of the items but I just feel absolutely in o...

Never heard of this sub & thought this could be fun! So, I haven't been on a trip that was non family or work in years (as in I'm that person who rarely ever takes PTO because I'll just be bored); I don't commute for work and mainly use my car to run errands and take myself to places where I waste money (aka the mall) because I'm just bored. I can walk to my friends and I's main pub for our weekly meetup, can walk, bike, kick scooter to the grocery store, pharmacy, basically all my essentials are within 2 to 3 miles of me.​ I got a good deal on an all parks pass for whatever the heck seaworld entertainment is called now, and planned to go on a quick ...

[Notes from the latest patch detailing the Proficiency Gain buffs implemented after community feedback that the grind for Champion was too slow post-rework](https://preview.redd.it/y05e59h1w5fg1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=1ba2d1c61025b9bb6a03aa9fc0cf118d29e5bf32) Ever since the latest patch, I'm grateful they took notice that the new per-character grind would be \~250+ hours and have taken some action to reduce it, but does anyone else find it kinda ridiculous that arcade still has a cap to Proficiency missions, especially since qp/comp have material advantages now with the % boost? They capped arcade prof because people were lord-farming Emma when ...

My mother called me yesterday asking for $50,000 and I told her to call my sister instead. She actually laughed. Like I'd made a joke. "Your sister? Honey, be realistic." I am being realistic. My sister was the one mom spent thirty years telling everyone was "gifted" and "going places." I was the slow one. The one who needed extra help. The one who mom said would "find her path eventually, just maybe not a fast one." I got promoted to CEO three months ago. My sister got fired from her tenth job last week for stealing from the register at a craft store. Mom didn't call to congratulate me on the promotion. She called because her house is in...

my manager got mad at me last night because it was 30 minutes past closing and i was waiting for the last customer to make her way out the door so i can unlock it for her. after her long transaction (trying on clothes and shoes while being the only one left in the store) we were all obviously annoyed, and she was heading her way out but kept stopping to look at other clothes on the racks and take stuff out (right after i finished standardizing them and making them nice and neat) and she just kept going and going on all the closing racks. not even being considerate of us who are cleaning up the store. i politely told her “i’m ready when you are ma’am to unlock the door for you” and sh...

This is a letter written by Mcalpin of the KLA expressing his concern with the issuement of the new coats. Some people believe these were captured american coats, but thats highly unlikely . These were more likely brand new coats made from materials pulled from stores houses that just happened to he blue

Right now I’m obsessed with buying dresses. I haven’t even worn any of them. They have tags in tact. I have so many clothes I’ve never worn with tags. At the end of the day I end up wearing the same pink jacket I’ve worn for most of the year and feel shame I spend so much. I have a Victoria’s Secret credit card. That store is addicting. They give free blankets and bag if you spend a certain amount and to be honest I buy items because I really want the blanket and bag. I even had a dream that someone stole my free blanket and bag and then I had a panic attack. Then I woke up and realized I have a problem. I’m also now into body care. Buying lotions of all scents and body mist...

Thrifted her for 25c a while ago, ive heard about the brand and seen some collectors online have similar ones but i cant find a single identical when reverse searching :/ any info would be appreaciated!! :D I’ve gotten some clothes from the same store before so i wanna check if i might have gotten them separately

I'm obese and have been for several years, my current bmi is 34,2. Therapy is out of question as I already do therapy but for many other reasons than my eating habits. So if my eating habits are a result of the mental health issues I have, then maybe it will work it out itself in the future. But I don't think so. I have no hope for the future. I have kind of given up on life and myself. I feel deep shame and anger for myself and who I am, and the fact that I have let things go so far and that I never stop eating. The thing is, I don't want real or normal food. I eat myself full on chocolate, chips, ice cream and such. And this have worked out fine without me gaining weight f...

Hey everyone, I’m a 21M who am looking to develop a more refined and focused approach to the clothing I’m spending money on, whether it be jackets, hoodies, shirts, pants, shoes, etc., and I’m just wondering what I should be paying attention to and what stores/brands tend to be best?

**TLDR:** Hello! I'm 19 AMAB and I've been questioning for a month or two now. No dysphoria, but slowly finding I have a complete lack of euphoria as a guy (Thank you dysphoria bible for helping me realize this!!) dispite this, I'm probably my own biggest obstacle because of internalized transphobia and an overall disconnect from my body. How should I approach this without sabotaging myself and my journey? **Extra details**: I have a few *********** friends and they encouraged me to experiment with my fashion once I told them about what I was feeling. I went to the local thrift store and used the changing rooms to try on dresses, skirts, yoga pants (I already own some and lo...

Self explanatory, I just wanted to know before I support the game. I do not buy microtransactions from games that rely on assets, including clothing items and facial items, taken from other games, or asset stores, or the UGC. I also do not buy microtransactions from games that feature AI writing, AI text to speech voices, or other similar forms of content, or concepting with AI.
