2023.05.28 08:08 scarletLyricist Advice Needed: Should I continue to pursue? [crossposted]
I am a 22 y/o she/they female who recently started spending a lot of time with a 21 y/o she/they female. We've matched on dating apps consistently for the past few years, so I messaged her finally and said we should probably just hangout. We did, and it went really well.
We played We're Not Really Strangers together, and at the end of the game you write a little note; hers mentioned something about her that "drives most people away". This was worrisome to me, because in the past when people clear up their own red flags right away, it's either a great thing or a really, REALLY bad thing...
Cut to a few hangouts later when I ask her, "For safety reasons, are you sleeping with anyone else?" She cringed a bit, and said that is the thing she'd mentioned that may drive me away. She revealed to me that she's been consistently hooking up with her best friend (straight male) for a while.
She also expressed interest in polyamory, and told stories about her experience with exhibitionism. She also opened up to me about some trauma from a previous boyfriend that I can psychologically connect to the hypersexuality... but I am still concerned. She emphasized that polyamory is not something she needs, but is something she's had fun exploring. I respect that, and all pasts! But its definitely not for me.
She emphasized that if her partner asked her to stop sleeping with him or other people, she would, and that she doesn't have to sleep with him to be happy; however, her partner must be okay with her still being friends with him. I said that I'm monogamous, and if she wants to pursue a relationship, she would have to stop. The next time we hungout I set my boundary that I wasn't comfortable with her sleeping with him still, but would be OK if they're friends.
However, I clarified that I do not give second chances when it comes to cheating, and I will find out. I am very good at identifying people's tells.
From the small interactions I've had with him digitally or parasocially, he seems very respectful and chill. I think I may get along with him really well. Then again... I meet him during a Pride celebration we're attending together; I am super nervous to see what their dynamic is like in-person. I'm afraid it will be everything I wish it wouldn't be and I will have to cut off the relationship here.
I'm also afraid that if I continue, she may cheat, or polyamory IS a thing that she does indeed need to be happy. I do trust her, but then again, I don't know her all THAT well quite yet. I am very monogamous... trauma experiences, but also just the way that I am I guess.
I want to continue pursuing it. She is very into me and that has been the only red flag. She agreed without hesitation, but god, am I nervous... I hate being hurt, especially when a straight man is involved.
Any advice is welcomed.

2023.05.28 08:07 marcstarts I yearn to be understood but I'm so tired of talking
Title pretty much says it, and I honestly hate that I am typing stuff out rn because I'm so tired of trying to explain my feelings in hopes of being understood and then not and cycling deeper into this exhaustion. To the point where here I am running on fumes and frustration simultaneously not wanting to do this but feeling I need to in hopes that someone at least understands me a little bit.
I just constantly find myself talking with people in group settings and typically I can be the life of the party despite my introversion. Mainly because I can be a push over too and I suck at getting conversations to go where I want them but I'm great at amplifying where other people want them to go lmao. I honestly thing my extroverted appearance is just a coping mechanism since I can't get what I want which is deep conversation and understanding of each other. So instead I settle for fun and laughter because I think I'm those group settings although we may not understand each other, if we all understand a comment made or understand a joke or funny remark there is still something powerful in play and that's nice. But when everyone's gone home(I typically find myself being the last person in hopes that as the group dwindles the conversation deepens, and sometimes it does but only because I play listener) I find myself sitting and wallowing by myself just wishing I could be understood.
Not to mention the moments when I do finally get what i want in terms of a more intimate conversation I tend to blow it being too talkative because its such a non commonality for me that I yearn for so much when I get my hands on it I ruin it. And then I get an even worse result than not being understood... Being misunderstood. It just sucks.
I'm so tired of not necessarily putting on a mask but definitely playing to the crowd, but those little bits are the only thing keeping me sane, it's just so much work for so little gain.
I just hope if anyone else feels this way you know you're not alone!
And if anyone else has any advice in combatting this I'm open ears... Please and thank you!

2023.05.28 08:05 throwwway_404 Not sure where this is going or how to steer it in the right direction
This is the first time I am doing this. Please be gentle.
I (26M) am in a (long distance)relationship with Selena(not her real name of course) for almost a year now. I have known her for 5 years and we had dated for a few months in the past but I broke up with her cause I was unable to picture a future with her.
When we started dating again it was going quite good for the first few months and everything was quite love-dovey and tbh it felt right. She convinced me that we would have a future together and she still love me a lot. It felt like everything was now fitting in place and this time it would last. But things have started to fall apart and I really don't know what to do about it, how to react.
A bit of back story about her - before me she was in a serious relationship with a guy called James. James was also quite serious about her and he gave her all the attention and was always good to her. But she feels she took him for granted and would always fight with him, and he used to beg for her love. She even told about him to her family and they liked him. Since she wasn't able to reciprocate the feelings for him and didn't treat him right, one day he left her.
Now coming back to our relationship, a couple of months back she came to know that James is seeing someone else and apparently he started bad mouthing her. This news got to her family and they started blaming her for losing such a nice guy. All of this I guess is what shook her and right now she is feels low and disappointed in herself. (when all this happened I wasn't aware about it)
During that time I used to talk to her and ask her what is wrong cause she started talking less, stopped expressing her love. She would say sorry and she knows she is doing wrong but asked me to be patient. I told her I understand and I am right here whenever she wants me. But things haven't been improving much, she says she wants to be with me and loves me but to me it doesn't look like she is trying. Her behavior is still the same, most of the time it's just me who tries to initiate a conversation. I asked her if she is losing interest in me and I reassure her that I would understand if that was the case but she says she loves me and wants be with him.
Yesterday we had this conversation again but this time it was her who initiated it. She told me she thinks she is toxic and could never be able to comfort her partner. She doesn't feel comfortable around me cause she thinks if she opens up fully in front of me I will notice the ego, attitude she has and she is only showing the good side of her. She even told me that she doesn't think we have a future cause her family would not approve (I asked her about this before getting together but at that she thought she would be able to convince her family but now after James incident she doesn't think they will agree). She told me again she doesn't want to leave me and hurt me. I kept on trying to convince her that I here to stay for the long run and even if we fight and if we care about each other we both will try our best to make it work. I quoted her this (which I believe in) - "There is no perfect, there will always be struggle. You just have to pick who you want to struggle with". I gave her reassurances and she said she is having this conversation cause she thinks I am a good guy and she doesn't want to lose me.
tbh, at this point I don't know what I am doing wrong and (or) what are the right things that I can do to make things better.
p.s. - It was a long post but it feels a bit better writing it all out.

 | Nick Adams is a literal wanker, he was arrested for wanking in the bathroom at a Starbucks in Australia. He is actually a right wing crybaby who often makes up fantasical nonsense to capture the imagination of aspiring "alpha male" Right Wingers. In reality, he is a completely idiotic mouth breather. submitted by john_doe_89 to WhitePeopleTwitter [link] [comments] He isn't trolling the right wing.

2023.05.28 08:02 lostings [OR] My co-workers won’t stop asking about my boyfriend and it’s only gotten worse.
I’m (20f) a caregiver at a group home and I just started working here barely a month ago. I’ve been doing everything correctly but my co-workers keep on asking about my boyfriend (24m) and it’s gotten to the point where I’m scared my job is in jeopardy.
For context, my boyfriend drives me to and from work and parks outside while I’m working (I work the graveyard shift). He does not feel comfortable going back to my home without me due to some conflict between him and my parents (who we’re staying with until we have enough money to find a place) and the fact that it’s about a 35-40 mile drive one way (70-80 round trip, if he were to go back home it would be around 140-160 miles per day and we don’t have the money to pay for that kind of gas). Also note he’s comfortable staying out in the car and sleeping in it as needed, his car is his treasure. He does not enter or go near the house I’m working in at all and does not come in contact with anything related to the house.
Moving on… it all started when a co-worker commented about a guy parking across the street and sitting in his car, in which I let her know that it was my ride and he was waiting to come pick me up. I didn’t think much of it since it’s just conversation and I didn’t think my boyfriend being parked across the street would be a big deal. She started asking more questions about it, like if I had a DL, my own car, why he was out there waiting for me, ect. I answered all the questions honestly and we moved on.
The next day two other co-workers bring it up and they both tell me, “Don’t bring him inside, it’s not your house, we need to respect people’s privacy and it’s not appropriate”, and they went on for about 5 minutes about it. I know it’s related to another situation regarding another employee who got put in suspension for that exact thing happening (plus some worse stuff happened relating the person’s partner after entering the house but I won’t elaborate on it), but every day that I have worked either Management has notified me or another co-worker, each time getting more aggressive. While having these conversations I also added that it’s a HIPAA Violation to do so and that neither my boyfriend or I are interested in doing anything close to that. Today at work about an hour after my shift started one of my co-workers (not on the schedule today) pulled up to the house, sat in his car for like 5 minutes and then drove off. My boyfriend texted me telling me about this and I feel very uncomfortable being here. Maybe I’m just being paranoid, but I really do feel like people are gossiping about me and it’s going to lead to an unlawful investigation with suspension and potentially getting fired even though I didn’t do anything wrong. I’m thinking of calling HR when I get off work although I’m unsure of whether that’ll actually help. What should I do?

2023.05.28 08:02 Dense-Baker-2254 My dad got a new girlfriend and I hate her
Ok i'm not really sure where to start. Im 16 and non-binary and I know this sound really rude. Heres some backstory. Just over 2 years ago my mom passed away unexpectedly. Now i'm not new to loss in the years previously to losing my mom i've lost multiple other family members and friends including my uncle and grandfather, who were my only friends for a long time. Just after losing my mom my grandmother(Who we lived with at the time) decided to sell the house and we were homeless for a short period of time before finding the apartment we live in now. The first few weeks after the passing of my mom my dad(38F) was in and out of the psych ward. My Aunt(35F) helped a lot with taking care of us (things like doc appointments, school stuff, ect) and even has partial guardianship over me and my sister(14). Up until my dads current girlfriend(31F) there wasn't anyone she consistently dated. To make this easier to understand i'll call my dads girlfriend Jane They have been dating for a few months now and we (me, my sibling, and my aunt) finally met Jane. We meet up for lunch and everything went great. My sister loves her and she gets along well with my aunt. She's great and i can tell that she loves my dad and she makes my dad really happy but despite all that i cant help but resent her and i feel terrible for doing so she's done nothing for me to hate her to the point that i do. I guess in someway as stereotypical as it is a resent her cause it feels like i'm betraying my mom. Jane was in an accident as a teen and as such has memory issues. She tends to just say things without thinking because she doesn't want to forget it before she can say it and because of this there have been some really awkward convos and she has said some stuff that really upset me. The day that we met her, Jane, my dad, and my sister went to the store and stopped at the apartment. A rule that we have had set previously to meeting Jane was that she wasn't allowed to come to the apartment so that it would be a kinda "safe place." I went and hung-out with my aunt because she got a new game that I wanted to see(we are both gaming nerds) and my dad texted and asked if Jane could come up to the apartment when they stopped to grab something for my sister and I said it was alright as long as they stayed out of my room. Because the rule of Jane not being allowed over isn't in place anymore my dad has had Jane over multiple time as she was over today from about 10am - 7:30pm. It was great. She helped clean(my dad and sister struggle with hoarding), we walked to a little cafe nearby, went shopping, and Jane, my dad, and my sister went swimming. Like I said it was a great day and I can tell that my sister loves her and Jane makes my dad so happy but despite the great day I still just don't like her. It's really hard because Jane, my dad, and my sister get along so well and i just feel like an outsider. Before we lost my mom I had struggled a bit with feeling like an outsider in my own family but now I literally feel like i'm a stranger living in their home. She hasn't done anything to make me hate her but just doing anything with her feels wrong, like when we went to the cafe today. I don't know how to explain it but there was just this underlying feeling of wrongness i guess and i just don't know how to handle it. I don't really know how to explain it but thats it I guess I just really needed to admit it somewhere cause i felt like crap for hiding it. um I guess if anyone has any advice that would be nice. Im not really sure how this works. ive never posted on redit before but I just really needed to talk about it.

2023.05.28 08:02 novemberqueen32 Family
I know this may sound dumb but I am going to fall asleep soon so I don't have time to write up everything I want to in this post. But I just want to start it because I am suffering and I have to get some thoughts out and I will edit this post and write more tomorrow if I feel up to it.
I am of course angry about my pain, hate the pain, hate the type of pain it is, and hate my life. The pain is absolutely the worst thing and nothing else compares. But I am angry with my family. I was at a family event today and was scared about going because I really don't want to catch covid. I was driving my brother home and I just mentioned something about covid and the event (I was the only one masked) and just about how I wasn't comfortable talking to people because I was scared of getting covid (I still have somehow managed to not get it) and he said "Well the world has moved on now. Aren't you vaxxed anyway?" Yes I am but that's...not the point. I am not worried about dying from it. I am worried about it making my health worse. So you don't remember what I talked about several times or heard in the news about long covid? About how covid is more dangerous for immuno-compromised people and how it would excacerbate my already horrific problems? Do you not remember that I am in pain all the time? Like have you forgotten that I am on disability and that's how I pay my rent to you? I am on disability because I am in pain and have health problems? This has been going on for years now? Any of this ringing a bell? No? You fucking moron. I hate you.
It is frustrating when your own family is suppose to be supportive but they absolutely are not. It's like my family has amnesia about my chronic illness and chronic pain. I mean I can't keep reminding them because I am sure it sounds very annoying or like I am asking for pity. There have been a number of times where I was in crisis with my pain and my brother was very nice and talked to me on a personal and caring level. So I will always appreciate that. But I guess he forgot though. I guess in his mind these issues just ended when I stopped bringing it up and started hiding my crying and negative feelings.
I'm going to talk about my mom tomorrow. But there's definifely a "family amnesia" that comes with chronic illness/pain.

I’m not the type to ask for help. I’ve never actually needed help until now. But after a long fall from grace, it’s time to put my pride aside and ask for help.
When I was 17, I joined the US Army. I didn’t join to serve my country or any other patriotic reason, I joined because I came from a super poor family, and I knew that I wanted better for myself. And boy did I get it! I traveled the world, and on my 2nd tour in Iraq, ended up severely injured, and ended up getting out on a medical discharge. I was last stationed at Fort Knox in Kentucky, and I liked the area so much I decided to stay. With no idea what to do with the rest of my life, I started looking into joining the medical field. I became a CNA. It didn’t take long for me to realize that I was working too hard for too little money, especially since I already had a bad back injury. So I used my GI Bill and went to college. Eventually, I ended up with a Masters in Nursing. Took 5 years, but was definitely worth it. I ended up moving to New York and stayed up there for about 12 years. I made amazing money, and had a great life. If there was something I wanted, I bought it. I went on vacations, cruises, had several vehicles I paid cash for, and owned a beautiful home that was paid for. I shared my wealth when able. If someone needed help, I’ve always done what I could. I worked as a Director of Nursing in a hospital up there. When Covid hit, I was one of the first to volunteer to go to NYC to help on the front lines. I loved my job and helping other people. One day at work, I hit my head on a metal box that was mounted to the wall. I was sent for a MRI. The doctors found a lesion on my brain, unrelated to me hitting my head. A few months passed, and I started experiencing some intermittent confusion, and extreme fatigue. Then the pain started. It would hurt my feet and legs so bad to walk, that I could barely stand. I started seeing a neurologist. After tons of testing, a spinal tap, MRIs, you name it, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I was supposed to go to the neurologist to get started on something for it the following Monday morning, but tragedy struck that Saturday night when my entire house burned to the ground while I was at the grocery store. The entire house was a total loss. Not being from New York, I had no family to stay with, and ended up having to move back to North Carolina with family. After getting here, my MS progression sped up. I started seeing a neurologist here, and was told that my MS is the Primary Progressive type, which is bad news. Unable to work, I filed for Social Security Disability. A year passed, during which I used up all my savings, and ended up moving in with my mom. They denied my claim without ever obtaining my medical records from New York. I submitted an appeal, and they denied that as well, without ever getting all my medical records. So I collected all my medical records myself, and contacted a lawyer. I have a hearing coming up, and I will be approved once I see a judge solely based on my rapid decline since applying. I can’t walk without crutches anymore. I can’t control my bladder, the fatigue has gotten so bad that I can sleep 16 hours without a problem. Now, I’m always in severe pain because I’ve got neuropathy throughout both feet, legs, hands, and arms. I’m going blind. My feet are contracted and I wear special shoes and see a specialist just for that. My pancreas decided to stop functioning right, and I have a insulin pump now, with a implant that monitors my sugar every minute and makes sure I don’t drop or spike. I see a specialist for that as well. On top of that, I’ve got rheumatoid arthritis, so my joints and bones are affected, while the MS screws with my muscles. I have severe muscle cramps and spasms all the time. And they hurt. Bad. The muscles in my legs are atrophied to the point where I have no reflexes anymore. As I said, it’s been a long fall from grace for me to end up here. I went from having everything, including great health, to having nothing and being completely crippled in 3 years. All while waiting for disability to approve me and pay out. They now owe me 2 full years of backpay. I qualify for full benefits from the Army, and I have more than enough work credits for fill retirement. But I still haven’t worked or had any income since I’m unable to. I’ve been basically living off my mom, who is also disabled and can barely take care of herself. Food stamps helps with food a little, but it never lasts all month. I have medications that I have to have and even with Medicaid, I still have a copay. I’ve borrowed from everyone I can, which isn’t much because as I said above, I came from a very poor family, and even though that had changed for me, it didn’t change for them. I’m right back where I started.
I typed all this to show that I am a actual person, with a legitimate reason for being in this situation. There’s nothing I can do about it at this moment, except ask for help. If there’s anything you can do to help, please message me. If you can donate anything, anything at all to help, I’d appreciate it more than you know. Transportation to appointments, medication copays, food, things needed to survive, are all too expensive for someone with nothing.

2023.05.28 08:00 throwwway_404 Not sure where this is going or how to steer it in the right direction
This is the first time I am doing this. Please be gentle.
I (26M) am in a (long distance)relationship with Selena(not her real name of course) for almost a year now. I have known her for 5 years and we had dated for a few months in the past but I broke up with her cause I was unable to picture a future with her.
When we started dating again it was going quite good for the first few months and everything was quite love-dovey and tbh it felt right. She convinced me that we would have a future together and she still love me a lot. It felt like everything was now fitting in place and this time it would last. But things have started to fall apart and I really don't know what to do about it, how to react.
A bit of back story about her - before me she was in a serious relationship with a guy called James. James was also quite serious about her and he gave her all the attention and was always good to her. But she feels she took him for granted and would always fight with him, and he used to beg for her love. She even told about him to her family and they liked him. Since she wasn't able to reciprocate the feelings for him and didn't treat him right, one day he left her.
Now coming back to our relationship, a couple of months back she came to know that James is seeing someone else and apparently he started bad mouthing her. This news got to her family and they started blaming her for losing such a nice guy. All of this I guess is what shook her and right now she is feels low and disappointed in herself. (when all this happened I wasn't aware about it)
During that time I used to talk to her and ask her what is wrong cause she started talking less, stopped expressing her love. She would say sorry and she knows she is doing wrong but asked me to be patient. I told her I understand and I am right here whenever she wants me. But things haven't been improving much, she says she wants to be with me and loves me but to me it doesn't look like she is trying. Her behaviour is still the same, most of the time it's just me who tries to initiate a conversation. I asked her if she is losing interest in me and I reassure her that I would understand if that was the case but she says she loves me and wants be with him.
Yesterday we had this conversation again but this time it was her who initiated it. She told me she thinks she is toxic and could never be able to comfort her partner. She doesn't feel comfortable around me cause she thinks if she opens up fully in front of me I will notice the ego, attitude she has and she is only showing the good side of her. She even told me that she doesn't think we have a future cause her family would not approve (I asked her about this before getting together but at that she thought she would be able to convince her family but now after James incident she doesn't think they will agree). She told me again she doesn't want to leave me and hurt me. I kept on trying to convince her that I here to stay for the long run and even if we fight and if we care about each other we both will try our best to make it work. I quoted her this (which I believe in) - "There is no perfect, there will always be struggle. You just have to pick who you want to struggle with". I gave her reassurances and she said she is having this conversation cause she thinks I am a good guy and she doesn't want to lose me.
tbh, at this point I don't know what I am doing wrong and (or) what are the right things that I can do to make things better.
p.s. - It was a long post but it feels a bit better writing it all out.

2023.05.28 08:00 Appletun21 Pincurchin is incredible
From using it on pokemon showndown scarlet and violet PU , Pincurchin is incredible. With this set - Discharge, Liquidation, Memento and Toxic Spikes, I have had games where the enemy does not even deal a point of damage ( I honestly feel like the people who dominate with Sc*villain against me, although very different reasons compared to that turd). Electric is one of the best typings for it because it takes advantage of the what the user thinks its typing is, so "oh water, gonna use a electric move, wait why is it not super effective", "oh water, better use an electric type, wait why isn't it super effective", with Pincurchin too since nobody knows about its existence, people think "oh a sea urchin pokemon, a water type, weak to electric and grass, wait why aren't they super effective???", Pincurchin is probably the only pokemon I can think of that has that psychological factor.
Lightning Rod is incredible and lets it freely tank electric moves the opponent will use because they think it's a water type, memento can nerf their sweeper into the ground, it's design's fantastic. Basically all round it's basically the best pokemon. Imagine using electric surge. That's definitely not what gives it a tiny fucking OU niche that it can't use.

2023.05.28 07:59 jademuckler I dont know what to do anymore everything is so off and on
I'm so lost at this point in my life, I just dont know what to do. One moment Im fine and happy and as soon as something goes wrong or I just think about something negative I just want to kill myself. it happens so quick and it feels like life is never going to get better. I dont talk to my parents anymore, ive cut off everyone i know cares about me aside from my ex boyfriend who says he still loves me but doesnt act like it and all i do is go to work and school and come home to scroll on my phone for hours on end. I held on for the past couple years because i didnt want to hurt my now ex boyfriend but now that we're broken up i feel like im never going to be enough from anyone anymore. ive tried finding things that make me happy (cars and photography), ive tried medications (nothing works) and ive tried working on bettering myself and becoming a better person but nothing works and im just at a loss. im constantly hurting and suicide seems to be my only way out. i can find temporary happiness but as soon as that goes away im just back to a dark place, it weird tho i dont feel depressed or sad im just hurting. ive tried self harm and that doesnt help. I have hope for like an hour or two but it goes away just quick as it came. does anyone else feel like this? just so off and on like either happy or suicidal. i dont even know what im saying anymore

2023.05.28 07:58 bamahusker82 Good news
I have been a part of this community for a while now. It has helped me to know that I am not alone. I’ve been with my wife for 38 years. Having a place to go where people know the exact feelings that I’m having is very comforting. I’ve discussed some of the experiences that others have with my wife and emailed her at least a dozen posts that hit the ail right in the head. Although she complained about it at first I believe it’s helped the physical intimacy past of my marriage. So I’d like to thank the group and its moderators for keeping it going.
With all of the bad news stories on here I thought it’d be refreshing to share about the improvements that have happened in my household. After years of living with a DB a positive changed started about 6 months ago. The year prior I had kind of moved to a few hours away to Florida to care for my 50 year old baby sister who got a terminal cancer diagnosis. When she told me I said that I walk hand in hand with her until the end. With no room in her house for me I bought a camper and parked it beside her house. My wife would come down 2-3 x’s a month and stay a few days before leaving again. It was a year of stress, exhaustion, joy and tears. As is normal for me I wanted to have some sexy time when my wife would come down and as normal it rarely happened and was never enthusiastically received. During the last 4-6 weeks down there I saw a change. She stayed with me the whole time towards the end. During this time I felt a softening of her heart. Maybe it was being with my sister watching her die or maybe I changed at the same time? So after I got back home there seemed to be an attitude of acceptance coming from my wife. Not a lot mind you but some. I talked with her more about our failing sex life. The rejection that I have grown used to was not so glaringly obvious. She actually initiated a few times and shocked the hell out of me. Once I woke up to her going down on me. That hasn’t happened in at least 20 years. Fast forward 5 months, we had had sex 3-4 x’s a week then it slowed down. Last week we discussed an upcoming cruise that we are taking our granddaughter on. I know that we won’t be having any sex for at least 12 days. I told her about how I’d gotten used to so much happy time that I’d be missing it during the vacation and asked her if we could fill my love tank up before we left. She looked at me pausing, I was looking at her with a wink wink expression, then she replied something like “yes let’s do that and let’s start now” and we did. For the past 7 days I have had a blast. It feels like the clock was turned back 25 years. We don’t leave for another 4 days so I plan to make the most of it.
We have not gotten along so well in many years. It has been so much fun. Not only the sex but our entire existence seems to have drastically improved. We are both happier and more cooperative. We even sat down and played cards tonight laughing it up. That’s all for now. I don’t plan to be on Reddit much for at least 4 days.

2023.05.28 07:58 EntertainerFeisty626 AITAH for telling my female co-workers that they might cry
My apologies for asking this, but I overthink alot, and I feel like I am the Ahole. To give some background, I (f26) work in a local owned sport-store. I started working there in the year 2021, and loved all my coworkers and management. Except for one. This coworker is a shiflead in the sports section, let's call him Jack (not his real name. But it's short for Jacka)
So when I got hired, there was another female (#1) in my department (clothing) who worked with me, she left not even three months. Due to Jack's word of her's, she was dismissed and sent home in tears. The company then hired two more females (cashiers -#2,#3), and I had kept my mouth shut and tried to keep my head down. I would also like to mention, we are allowed to keep our phones on us. It helps with new products coming into the company and searching for stuff - I use mine to let my long distance BF know I am still okay, maybe 3-5 in the 9hr shift. Jack and the rest of the males play fantasy games on their phones with customers around.
After the three months for me and the first cashier had passed, Jack and another Shiftlead (f - who left after Xmas) basically cornered me one day. The reason was it was a slow day, I checked with my customers which was 7 people in clothing asking if they needed help. I would come back at least every five minutes because you never know,they could need a size or remember something else they need. So when I got pulled into the office to have a chat about that. Because apparently it made a group feel awkward. That night I cried but took the lecture like a champ.
The next problem came about spring. Both cashiers had cried because of him and #3 had quit the job, because of his attitude. I have mentioned it to the managers in private that they need to chat about his tone of voice, aggressive behavior and as someone in a position like his, it isn't appropriate in front of customers. The manager had dismissed this multiple times - since not only Jack has a baby on the way but is best friends with the owners and managers ( who also has a small one now). They dismissed it with the excuse "we been trying." "He probably stressed."
During this, I was moved departments and been trained in three out of five department. I was placed the shoe department with the exception of moving to cash, or clothing when needed.
So Jack had made my go home and cry many times, with the other cashier(#2) who had a meltdown one time infront of customers (when training a PT girl#5 for cash). So when we hired another female (#4), that was being sent to his department. I worried. I thought since he was going to make her cry, giving a heads up on , "if he makes you cry, don't take it personally. He does have alot on his plate. With new baby on the way, he would be stress" Technically defending him. I made it my goal to say to the female workers because I really don't want them to take it personally. He will sometimes make you cry.
Well, girl #4, didn't make the three months. (There was also girl #4.5 shipping team hire but not important right now but later.) Reason was Jack again. The manager team, gave me $1.50 raise in pay and also had hired in November -dumroll please- girl#6 to be place in the clothing department. Same warning, and all. Took note of it, and this past Jan. The store had witnessed this. I was covering the day up at cash. I had a defective return and it didn't print the defective receipt. Jack had came up to cover for my hour lunch break and once I got back. Lecture me on how I did the return wrong, it was more paperwork for management and I need to do better. Because of the tone of voice I had a moment of PDST linking to something I tried blocking in childhood. I was in tears and could not calm down. Since he was the only cashier, girl #6 tried to help, but she wasn't cash trained. I left that day, because I couldn't handle my breathing and was on a verge of a panic attack. On my way out of the store he half-heartedly said sorry. I quickly explain it's his tone of voice, and it needs some work on it.
In February girl #5 (PT cashier (u18)) went to work but was feeling sick. She asked if it was okay to go home and she only came because we were short staffed, and Jack said he will think about. When lunch came around, she was running to the washroom more and more often. She demanded Jack to sent her home. And he did after giving her a lecture of how irresponsible she is (thinking she was drinking the night before - she wasn't) and sent her home in tears. A couple weeks later Girl#6 told me and thanked me for the warning. He made her cry. However Girl #6 had left in March, due to a ofter she nor her boo could refuse. A new house across the country.
So here comes two more girls, #7 and #8. Like before I gave the same warning and all. Don't take it personally. Oh boy. It was bad and good, because at the end of April, the owners and management left for Vacation, giving my a key to the store (another $1raise) but also leaving Jack in charge for the week.
So once they left, SHTF so to speak. Jack gave me a list a stuff to do, because it's my section (shoes) and how dare I leave it messing (mind you the last few months, I was located everywhere like 2day or three days in clothing, one day in cash and the other in shoes). That week would be the first in a long while, of having four days in the department. So I compliance his request, while covering cash for washroom breaks, lunch breaks and tending customers. Monday he still came in to open but left due to his day off. One tasks was writing pricetags and model on every shoe. The next day I came in early to tried and finished the stupid task he gave me. He was pissed off at me, from his words "I was wasting the owners time clocking in early. (Confirm with management that if I was working early, it's fine.) That the task he wanted me to do wasn't finished yet and how dare I open the store since clearly I don't know the procedures in the lights don't turn on... Etc." Then tells me that I wasn't the only one giving a lecture that day.
So remember that girl #4.5 the shipping team. Yeah. On Monday she had at least 35 online orders to ship out, pack and the report it to another sister store. She got a lecture on time management. Didn't cause her to cry, but had bit her tougne from swearing. Girl #8 was told on monday to put bike accessories on the wall. Wasn't told on how it he wanted and gave her basically free reign. Then lecture on her about how she did it wrong. So she need to cool down and told him with another witness she was going to help me for a bit, since she finished what he asked her. He and the male coworker stood in the same spot for hours until lunch time. He was pissed off that she wasn't working, through she was, and the male coworker back her up. She also witnessed Jack put his hand on a male PT 15year old on his face and called him fat. So low and behold, we waited for management. We told them everything. Their excuse... "We put everything on his shoulders, and it's hard to be a manager. " They tried to bribe girl#8 a raise. She gave a two week notice.
So lastly, they hired two more, #9 and #10. Like before I gave them the warning, "if he makes you cry, don't take it personally. He does have alot on his plate. With a new baby, he would be stress."
Today he made me grin and bare it until I got home a cried. He gave two lectures and was pissed off because I told first, his department covers shoes and we had breaks sorted out for cash and clothing. I was in clothing for the day. He sent me to lunch at 12:24, because clearly his own ego forgot that his department covers shoes and since there're 3 cashiers. Apparently two cashiers can't go to lunch together. Our breaks are 12, 1 or 2. I picked 2pm because I wanted to call my BF. The new cashier was going at 2 as well and covering at 1pm. So my teamate and I decided, he goes at 1pm and I stay close to help out if need. Then I got berated by Jack at 4:55, and was told he didn't like the fact I was saying to the new girls, because it's true, "if he makes you cry, don't take it personally." And he wants me fired so, he would be talking to the owner and management about my behavior, this week. I feel like I am the Asshole about this. But I don't know. My Boyfriend doesn't think I am the Asshole.
So in the end, Am I the Asshole for telling my female co-workers that they might cry.
Since he made 7/11 cry and 4/11 quit.

So when I got hired, there was another female (#1) in my department (clothing) who worked with me, she left not even three months. Due to Jack's word of her's, she was dismissed and sent home in tears. The company then hired two more females (cashiers -#2,#3), and I had kept my mouth shut and tried to keep my head down. I would also like to mention, we are allowed to keep our phones on us. It helps with new products coming into the company and searching for stuff - I use mine to let my long distance BF know I am still okay, maybe 3-5 in the 9hr shift. Jack and the rest of the males play fantasy games on their phones with customers around.
After the three months for me and the first cashier had passed, Jack and another Shiftlead (f - who left after Xmas) basically cornered me one day. The reason was it was a slow day, I checked with my customers which was 7 people in clothing asking if they needed help. I would come back at least every five minutes because you never know,they could need a size or remember something else they need. So when I got pulled into the office to have a chat about that. Because apparently it made a group feel awkward. That night I cried but took the lecture like a champ.
The next problem came about spring. Both cashiers had cried because of him and #3 had quit the job, because of his attitude. I have mentioned it to the managers in private that they need to chat about his tone of voice, aggressive behavior and as someone in a position like his, it isn't appropriate in front of customers. The manager had dismissed this multiple times - since not only Jack has a baby on the way but is best friends with the owners and managers ( who also has a small one now). They dismissed it with the excuse "we been trying." "He probably stressed."
During this, I was moved departments and been trained in three out of five department. I was placed the shoe department with the exception of moving to cash, or clothing when needed.

2023.05.28 07:57 Successful_Bat_8677 Testing shows Denuvo games launch four times slower
 | A new video has been posted to the YetTea YouTube channel showing the results of their recent experiment. Their goal was to investigate the impact of disabling Denuvo on game performance and download speeds. To do this, they conducted extensive testing of various games in which the developers intentionally or accidentally removed DRM protection. submitted by Successful_Bat_8677 to Games_Piracy [link] [comments] Tests were conducted with identical graphics settings on a high-performance PC with an Intel Core i9-10850K processor, 32 GB of RAM and a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card. https://preview.redd.it/e0519uo2ii2b1.jpg?width=1268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d6683cb703bcec07070af814e744f9c4c682a130 Testing has revealed a significant performance difference between Denuvo-protected and DRM-free games. Notably, in the case of Ghostwire Tokyo, the game's load time to the main menu was only 54 seconds when DRM was not present, while it took a whopping 200 seconds with DRM enabled. This significant gap has consistently persisted during subsequent runs, indicating a continued impact on performance. In terms of average frame rates, games without Denuvo showed slightly better performance. In addition, tests revealed a larger frame rate drop in DRM-protected games, highlighting the impact it has on overall performance. Loading timeBorderlands 3

2023.05.28 07:57 artofmovingon I need help improving my turtle tank :(
I don’t want to add a picture because I’m worried I’ll be slammed here. I am looking to see if anyone can help me improve my care.
Background: In September 2020, I took home one of my cousin’s turtles after finding out he stole three baby painted turtles from a pond. They had them in captivity for several months in a QUART sized bowl with not enough water to cover them and had them on an iceberg lettuce diet. I was disturbed when I found this out. Unfortunately, one died so that is why I stepped in to take one and give it the best life I can. I did my research to get him a new home ASAP and have background for tank upkeep as an avid fish fan.
Before you say anything… YES he is a wild turtle but he was literally like the size of a dollar coin and I was not sure if he would survive in the wild after being in captivity for several months. I don’t know when exactly he was captured, it was like during the early spring of 2020, though.
My current setup is a 40gal with just enough rocks to cover the bottom, a turtle heater, a 30gal filter (he’s too small to fill the tank up all the way so I think it’s okay for now), a giant basking rock, and a UV lamp. I don’t think this stuff is terrible, per say, but I am a huge fish person and seeing how bare my little guy’s tank is in comparison to my fish’s tanks makes me sad. I also was away at college so I feel like his care in all regards could be stepped up since I wasn’t there to monitor him.
How can I improve my care? Can some more experienced turtle owners give me suggestions for literally everything.
-His name is Clementine (Clem for short) because I thought he was a girl but was able to sex him after a year and a half of owning him -His diet is still hatchling pellets and freeze dried bugs. How often should I be feeding him? -How can I enrich his tank? Should I give him live food? Do I add plants? How about substrate?
For anyone reading this, thank you for any and all tips. I promise he is not being abused because I do think he has most of his bare minimum requirements, but I would just like to make his life better in any way possible. Thanks!!!

2023.05.28 07:56 losttforwords Returned a guy’s lost phone today - feeling good :)
I was driving into a parking lot, and right at the entrance where the cars come in and out, I saw a brand new phone on the ground. It was about to be run over any minute & I was surprised to see that it hadn’t already been. I looked through the entire phone to try to find who it belonged to. There were no contacts, texts, recent calls, only 1 picture, no helpful identifying info at all. So I was just gonna take it to Boost Mobile (their carrier) in the morning to get it back to the owner.
Well finally, the phone received a call and we set up to meet back there. He was so kind and gave me $10 in return, which he absolutely didn’t have to do - I really, really appreciated that. I know obviously it was the right thing to do anyway so I’m not seeking praise or anything like that lol, I just wanted to share how good it made me feel. You know how doing a “good deed” (for lack of a better phrase here, since this was the bare minimum of human decency) just makes you feel awesome? I’m still riding that little wave right now. I just feel really good and am so happy I was able to help return his phone. Anyway that’s all. 🙂

2023.05.28 07:55 pinksora1719 34[F4M] from PHP/anywhere preferably usa or EST time - looking for a friendly genuine connection with someone
Well I am trying my luck here probably looking for a genuine connection with someone who can relate to my hobbies and interests. My name is Chris, from the philippines. I'm a smart, ambivert girl who likes anime, gaming , food and arts.
I have been gaming a lot on my switch to entertain myself so I am kinda looking into meeting possible playmates
I do also some mmorpg games on my spare time but mostly i do rpg games on my laptop like old playstation games since i missed them a lot. I also just started gaming in pc mostly just mmorpg like Lost Ark or Mir4. I am no good at FPS games cause they trigger my vertigo and it usually makes me sick after gaming for 30 mins. At times catch up on my JRPGS while being idle at work currently finishing Tales of Vesperia.
I also know mobile legends, LOL and other games like genshin ( though i stopped early).
Looking for friends who can play with or someone to bond with to maybe lesser the time i overthink. Feel burned about life as I have been doing intensive parental caregiving the past months.
I am also an anime fan and a former cosplayer and a roleplayer. Also I am into movies a lot and watch almost everything on netflix. Maybe we can movie marathon or what or watch anime ( I am a 90's kid who really watched a lot of animes). I love horror movies but I am a coward so if I movie with you expect shrills and screaming from me .
I am also into fan fiction writing in archive of our own which i have a few works with thousands of reads. Maybe we can discuss about relevant topics about writing or so I don't know but i am no expert.
I just really hope to speak to someone of different culture or learn about their lives or talk to someone casually. I feel so overwhelmed by worldly probs and I do want a friend that keeps me sane and in check while i face everyday to live and breathe one more day.
Right now i am not looking for any relationship as I want to build myself up and be okay again. Well normally people think I got my shit together at my age now but right now i'm burned out. I have quit several of my hobbies due to my past relationships. Currently bombarded on caregiving. Even though I have struggles I do just want a good company and I don't need of saving on my problems. The savior complex of some does stress me and i dont like being dictated on what i should do and what.
Being cooped up at home tremendously gets mundane and I am hoping to meet people to share interest in or at least exchange relevant topics about life.
Also I draw digitally and try to do fan arts for Bts the korean group since I am a fan of it.
I am into photography, doll photography and food photography and love to dress up and make up. Also I am into culinary and love cooking. I binged a lot on baking shows and cooking competition shows like top chef or master chef. I love taking food pics of what I cook so pls feel free we can be chef mates and share recipes and such and also i am into baking I love to eat and taste different cuisines so a food buddy is preferred.
Anyways a friend who is into my interest I would love to speak and bond with.
People say I am a good listener maybe i can help too and give advices though I am not in the proper mental state to help with people under going immense stuff but I'll do my best to listen and advice as much as I can. They say I have great empathy and mindfulness of others and I am quite apologetic when I reply late.
I am normally awake in EST time american since my work is based in New Jersey. Americans or people in western countries works better for me since I sleep opposite of asians.
I am just a cute filipina who is a closet otaku looking for friends. i have a good sense humor and talk ample a lot and just chat literally almost about everything. But please do make efforts to converse and not let me do the talking it's really hard sometimes if communication is forced. If I offended you and you don't wanna be friends anymore that's fine just tell and I'll back off rather than being ignored intentionally. No drama promise .
Please do not come into my dms with the intent to sexualize me ...i have enough trauma from a sexual assault years ago...so pls if you have ill intentions.. do not dm me. I am not applying for any girlfriend position or be your future waifu. So please do not ask me sexual questions or any sexual preferences. At any point I am sexualized without consent I would block immediately. Again i am not looking for boyfriends or spouse for now nor I am looking for hook ups so stay away from me.
If you wanna see how i look check I can send pics. I am not a catfish yes I look 20's and i don't know why. Dont bother asking my snap i wont migrate there for you to validate my identity. I am not hooking up.
I am 5'3 1/2 yes I am small, my body type i am more on a curvy side for now and I am working out and dieting. I gained weight due to depression and anxiety from my sick ex . I am tan as you expect from filipinas and short hair, doe eyes and cute.
To be honest im scared partially with my post but either way. I just wanna feel a bit myself and meet pepple and I do want genuine friendly connection with someone. If you also do not like the fact I am living in asia and makes a big fuss i live far away...sorry I am not the girl for you.
So if you have reached this point I have a pending question
What is your favorite anime/game/ movie ? and why?. Send that to me when you mssg me here and I will entertain your pm. If someone doesnt follow this sorry i wont entertain. Since I believe good reading and following directions means a good intent towards someone.
This is a test someone reads my post and with the intent you really wanted to get to know me. Yeah I might sound demanding a bit but i really get a lot of mssgs and some are just after sex and such and really I am not for that at this point. Thank you for reading.

I have been gaming a lot on my switch to entertain myself so I am kinda looking into meeting possible playmates
I do also some mmorpg games on my spare time but mostly i do rpg games on my laptop like old playstation games since i missed them a lot. I also just started gaming in pc mostly just mmorpg like Lost Ark or Mir4. I am no good at FPS games cause they trigger my vertigo and it usually makes me sick after gaming for 30 mins. At times catch up on my JRPGS while being idle at work currently finishing Tales of Vesperia.
I also know mobile legends, LOL and other games like genshin ( though i stopped early).
Looking for friends who can play with or someone to bond with to maybe lesser the time i overthink. Feel burned about life as I have been doing intensive parental caregiving the past months.
I am also an anime fan and a former cosplayer and a roleplayer. Also I am into movies a lot and watch almost everything on netflix. Maybe we can movie marathon or what or watch anime ( I am a 90's kid who really watched a lot of animes). I love horror movies but I am a coward so if I movie with you expect shrills and screaming from me .
I am also into fan fiction writing in archive of our own which i have a few works with thousands of reads. Maybe we can discuss about relevant topics about writing or so I don't know but i am no expert.
I just really hope to speak to someone of different culture or learn about their lives or talk to someone casually. I feel so overwhelmed by worldly probs and I do want a friend that keeps me sane and in check while i face everyday to live and breathe one more day.
Right now i am not looking for any relationship as I want to build myself up and be okay again. Well normally people think I got my shit together at my age now but right now i'm burned out. I have quit several of my hobbies due to my past relationships. Currently bombarded on caregiving. Even though I have struggles I do just want a good company and I don't need of saving on my problems. The savior complex of some does stress me and i dont like being dictated on what i should do and what.
Being cooped up at home tremendously gets mundane and I am hoping to meet people to share interest in or at least exchange relevant topics about life.
Also I draw digitally and try to do fan arts for Bts the korean group since I am a fan of it.
I am into photography, doll photography and food photography and love to dress up and make up. Also I am into culinary and love cooking. I binged a lot on baking shows and cooking competition shows like top chef or master chef. I love taking food pics of what I cook so pls feel free we can be chef mates and share recipes and such and also i am into baking I love to eat and taste different cuisines so a food buddy is preferred.
Anyways a friend who is into my interest I would love to speak and bond with.
People say I am a good listener maybe i can help too and give advices though I am not in the proper mental state to help with people under going immense stuff but I'll do my best to listen and advice as much as I can. They say I have great empathy and mindfulness of others and I am quite apologetic when I reply late.
I am normally awake in EST time american since my work is based in New Jersey. Americans or people in western countries works better for me since I sleep opposite of asians.
I am just a cute filipina who is a closet otaku looking for friends. i have a good sense humor and talk ample a lot and just chat literally almost about everything. But please do make efforts to converse and not let me do the talking it's really hard sometimes if communication is forced. If I offended you and you don't wanna be friends anymore that's fine just tell and I'll back off rather than being ignored intentionally. No drama promise .
Please do not come into my dms with the intent to sexualize me ...i have enough trauma from a sexual assault years ago...so pls if you have ill intentions.. do not dm me. I am not applying for any girlfriend position or be your future waifu. So please do not ask me sexual questions or any sexual preferences. At any point I am sexualized without consent I would block immediately. Again i am not looking for boyfriends or spouse for now nor I am looking for hook ups so stay away from me.
If you wanna see how i look check I can send pics. I am not a catfish yes I look 20's and i don't know why. Dont bother asking my snap i wont migrate there for you to validate my identity. I am not hooking up.
I am 5'3 1/2 yes I am small, my body type i am more on a curvy side for now and I am working out and dieting. I gained weight due to depression and anxiety from my sick ex . I am tan as you expect from filipinas and short hair, doe eyes and cute.
To be honest im scared partially with my post but either way. I just wanna feel a bit myself and meet pepple and I do want genuine friendly connection with someone. If you also do not like the fact I am living in asia and makes a big fuss i live far away...sorry I am not the girl for you.
