Dicks sporting good hours

Maybe that title is a bit too cheesy, but I really do like exploring the night sky. Helps especially since my hometown was a great place to do so. That all aside, hello! I am Pydras, fat cat collector, lessor avatar of chaos, and most boring of all, corporate accountant. I am to find people to potentially connect with and see what develops. Whether that leads to friendship or something more will remain to be seen, but life is short so have to get out there and try!
A little more about me! As stated earlier, I am a corporate accountant, currently working in BC, starting to save up to buy a place where I am at. I am quite fond of cooking, and decent enough at it as well! I would say at least 67% of it would be tolerable to most people. Since my job is basically just sitting around all day, I try and workout at least three or four times a week to stay active and in shape. That being said I do have a sweet tooth that I am quite good at managing, except for my weakness of homemade baked goods. Art wise, I really have no skills in most of those areas except for writing (use to do some RP back in the day). Well, I do make quite the horrible MS Paint masterpiece if the inspiration hits, so that might count. Politically I am quite on the left side, and religion wise I tend to fall more into agnosticism and atheism.
For subject interests, my top three would probably have to be history, geography, and geology. One of my favourite things to do when bored is open Google maps and go to a random area and see what I can learn of those three for it. However, my absolute biggest interest and the one I hold closest to me is music. While I can't really play an instrument (have been trying to relearn piano), I usually have some sort of playlist on if I am not too busy or in a loud environment. I can literally go into paragraphs upon paragraphs about some of my favourite songs. Just about what I like about them, how they make me feel, etc. I am always up for sharing or creating playlists with someone, I truly feel like music is one of the better ways to get to know someone. My usual genres end up to alternative, indie, and math rock, but I will really just listen to anything that I like the sound of.
Hobby wise, it sort of depends on what time of the year it is. If the weather is nice in the spring or summer, I love to go for long walks and hiking. Just being out in nature beings a sense of relaxation and peace you can't get anywhere else. Plus, the views, just all the amazing views and secrets you can come upon. When the weather is not as pleasant or it is winter (so quite a few months here), I am usually found being a homebody. Probably no surprise, but gaming is a major filler of my time when I have nothing else to do. My main game right now is FFXIV, realized today that I have been playing it for over half a decade at this point, how time flies. I do enjoy the Paradox Interactive games as well, especially with all the amazing mods some of them have. Like music, I could spend hours talking about some of my favourite games. Would also love more people to play with, generally not picky about what, as long as you don't mind me potentially sucking. Gaming with people is always such a joy and fun time. I can be quite the reader if a particular book or series catches my attention. Once burned through a trilogy in a week since it captivated me so much. One of the dangers I found with me reading is I'll always go for one more chapter, then suddenly it is 3 am. Don't really have any specific genres in particular, though I am quite the sucker for some good worldbuilding.
I could probably keep rambling about myself, but why take away all the fun? As said before, I am looking for someone to see what kind of connection we can build. Location wise, for something more than friendship, you would likely have to be in Canada or have plans to move here. While I do enjoy all my friends in the US, I have no desire to move there unfortunately. Either way, if I intrigued your interests feel free to send me a DM and we can connect from there!

Hello, This is weird because all my life I’ve been reading stuff like this, not writing it. First off, as a little context, me (21M) and my girlfriend (22F) have been dating for about a year. We’re only able to see eachother once or twice a week, and she has a curfew from her father. When we first started dating, that curfew was 9, but after being together for so long it’s now as long as she gets home before 12. Her father was abusive in the past and still is emotionally distant in her family.
Anyway, I took my girlfriend out yesterday for her birthday. And we had an amazing time all day, I picked her up early and basically we did whatever she wanted all day and all night, it was great. But when we got back to my place and had about an hour and a half to kill, her dad texted her and told her to come home early. Saying it’s her birthday and she shouldn’t be out dealing with “crap”. I know her father doesn’t like me, but reading texts like that hurts. She(understandably) got extremely upset by this as it felt like he was trying to ruin a good day for her, and this wasn’t the first time it’s happened either. She ended up debating for the rest of the time we had together if she wanted to just stay regardless or go home like she was told, and after some tears and cuddles, she decided she needed to go home. This isn’t the first time something like this happened, and in the past I had some expectations that maybe she would want to disobey her dad to stay out a bit later(I’m always reassuring her that we will do whatever she wants to, if she wanted to leave I’d take her home instantly, but if she wanted to stay she could stay for as long as she’d like) but at this point I knew that wouldn’t happen. It still hurt to see her like that and to see her make a decision she really didn’t want to do. I tried reassuring her I wasn’t upset with her, but I was upset, and she could tell. Not with her, not really, just a lot of resentment for her dad.
To be honest I’m not entirely sure why I’m writing this/posting it. I have no one really to talk to about it,(my friends are horrible with relationship advice) and I just feel very isolated and alone. I got home last night very upset, it felt like I put all this effort in for this day to be the best ever for her(which she had said it was earlier in the day!) only for this to happen, and it felt like all my effort came crashing down. I’m tired of being sad after doing nothing wrong. I’m tired of being upset in a relationship, but neither at myself or at my girlfriend. It just feels like this outside source in our relationship is really taxing on it and I don’t really know what to do.
If anyone took the time to read all of this I appreciate you.

How do you all deal with other parents?
This experience has been bothering me. I was at the park with my boys a few weeks ago. They were playing with other kids. A little girl was going across the monkey bars, fell, landed flat on her back. I could tell by the sounds of the scream she knocked the wind of of her and scared herself. I did the is usual "ooooooo" and yelled if she was okay. I hadn't got up from the bench yet.
All of a sudden, a dad comes up to me and tells me to leave his kids alone, not to talk to her, and to mind my own business. Realistically, probably a good 45 seconds of being hollered at by another man standing over me.
Dick punch was the first impulse, but I just asked the dude what he was on about, and he left.
I get that parents are protective. But we're all right there. If someone pushes my kids on the swing, or I spin other kids around on the spinning top of death no one has batted an eye.
My wife says I need to let it go, men aren't allowed to help other kids. My neighbor, also a father about the same age says, I should have just sat there and let her scream, you aren't allowed to be concerned. I thought I just ran into an asshole.
Question is, what's the proper etiquette? Do I mind my own business? Help anyway and deal with the occasional angry dad? I'm to old to get into fights. My kids don't need to see me get my ass kicked, and I don't need to embarrass someone else's dad.

Despite being an hostile and unforgiving world, the Rimworld can still see love blossom. But sometimes, being single is far better.
As for Katie, she had a bit of experience in that regard.
She was stranded on the planet along two other men, their transport ship had been struck my asteroids and the escape pods landed in a jungle. Fighting the mosquitoes and other diseases was hard, but they kept on living.
As time passed by, Katie fell in love Todd, whose nickname was Dweeb. Living on this hostile planet wasn't as bad as they all initially thought. They managed to create a decent base where they could live a decent life, it was comfortable enough for Katie and Dweeb that they got married and had a child together : Newton. Katie was slightly annoyed by her husband's proposition, but she conceded with a chuckle.
"You're such a Dweeb." she joked to her husband who laughed with her.
Life was good and the colony grew, and the struggles of the beginning were slowly fading away. No one was starving anymore, no one was sleeping on the floor, nor would they contract infections.
Unfortunately, a group of raiders had set their eyes on the colony's wealth and launched an assault. All able bodies were drafted to defend the colony, their home. By sheer bad luck, Todd caught a bullet in the head, destroying a good chunk of his face. He fell back, his body automatically spasming out, his legs kicking the dirt. Sadly, he quickly bled out before the medic could reach him.
After hours of combat, the colony survived, with one member gone. Katie was devastated for a few days. She was often seen sulking or eating alone in her now empty bedroom. Her grief disappeared when another colonist approached her, he listened to her and lent his shoulder for her to cry. His name was Kyphis, a traveling bard who decided to stay with the colony. His smile was infectious and soon, Katie began smiling again, even laughing at Kyphis' jokes.
Weeks passed by and the wounds closed in Katie's heart, enough to start dating Kyphis and become his fiancee. And yet, before the man could propose, an alarm rang throughout the camp. All able bodies were to man the defenses. Another raid from an hostile faction.
This time, the attackers had separated in two groups, one drawing the attention while the other was flanking the defenders. Newton was playing in the colony's playground where the raiders were coming through. The 5-year-old couldn't really flee, Kyphis knew it and ran to rescue the boy. Newton may not have been his own son, but he was still someone dear to his wife. He carried him to safety, but not without catching a few bullets in his leg and back. With a wincing face, the man limped towards the medical center, leaving behind trails of blood. And yet, as if fate had other plans for the caution man, Katie's fiancee died in front of the hospital, being ambushed by a sneaking raider.
The attack was repelled, but one colonist had lost his life. The woman was yet again devastated, her stomach was churning and she couldn't help but spent hours crying at the grave of her passed lovers.
Despite her sorrow, she wanted to feel better and decided to talk with more people, trying to forget her sadness. And a few weeks later, Katie was dating Theodore, but for reasons unknown to her, the man broke up with her. The man had heard of her previous lovers and he was superstitious enough to completely stop seeing her. She was obviously upset by the sudden turn of event, but maybe it was for the better? An hour later, as if a malevolent god was watching, Newton was savaged by a cobra. The child was exploring the jungle after sneaking out of his mother's sight.
The pain, the guilt, the sorrow, the despair, all rushed out. She screamed out of all these emotions before her mind going blank.
Katie went catatonic, not moving for months. Her mind and body couldn't take it anymore.
At least Randy was having a blast, torturing this poor gal

I love my job, I work with great people, and I am doing some really satisfying work. However I can’t seem to shake this somewhat flat feeling. I’ve moved around the UK for a while now and it often leads to fleeting friendships and a lack of stability. Consequently it gets a bit lonely- so here we are. I’ve written a little about me here:
6ft, Blue eyes, brown hair
I love my sport (both watching and playing) Often love to read but need a good recommendation to get me back into it again. Hiking is great fun, it gives you real sense of accomplishment. I want to travel more and would love to hear some of your stories.

My boyfriend of 2 years had just started a new job as an assistant manager at a restaurant last year. His work hours vary and some days he can come home around 2am. Him and i share locations with each other and one night i woke up and he still wasn’t home so i had happened to check to see where he was at. When i did, it wasn’t at work but at a different location i wasn’t aware about. I called to see if he was okay and when he answered he seemed nervous, i asked what he was doing and he told me he was dropping a friend off at home and i asked him what friend he said a girls name i’ve never met before. My boyfriend is a very social person and i know he has a lot of girls that a friends but this threw me off and upset me. I am one to jump to conclusions and get jealous quickly. He ended up coming home and telling me that she needed a ride home from work and would give him a cigarette to do so. Around this time, an old friend of theirs had also passed away and he said he needed someone to talk to about it which i understood. I told him i’d appreciate more communication about where he’s going and when because he works in a dangerous area and i want to know if he’s safe. Him and i both have lots of friends of the opposite sex which we both understand, i just want transparency about what is going on because i know it would bother him if i didn’t tell him where i was at with someone he didn’t know at 2am.
Fast forward, to this year. Him and i have seem to be off lately (lack of intimacy/communication/friendship). I’ve been feeling lonely because of us not seeing each other as often and when we do, not much is going on between us. I think it’s because of his work schedule and my new work hours. I keep having this weird feeling in my gut and i happen to check his phone. He had 2 conversations deleted in his phone. 1 from an ex and another one from the girl he took home last year. I bring this to his attention and he laughs it off saying “i could’ve checked them”. I tell him this bothers me because if these conversations are friendly then why were they deleted? I left the house for a few days because i just couldn’t hear the excuses anymore. He proceeds to text me and tell me that he just didn’t want me to see their name pop up on his phone and that all the conversations were that his friend wanted a serving job at his workplace and friendly “banter”. I asked him if they had ever hooked up and he says “yes, a long time ago.” He told me he’s never cheated on me and never would, which i can believe (or else i wouldn’t be with him today). I tell him that i couldn’t live in a relationship where he has to delete text messages so i don’t start an argument with him and he shouldn’t be with someone he feels like he needs to tip toe around. I’ve told him time and time again through multiple occasions of him hiding stuff from me, that it’s worse when i found out myself or through other people rather them him telling me firsthand. I tell him it looks like he’s trying to hide something from me and i don’t like when he does that. Whenever it comes down to that conversation he brings up his feelings and own experiences instead of owning up to what he did.
I guess i feel like i’m at a standstill and don’t know what to do. i have no one to talk about it with because i don’t want my friends to over exaggerate it and just tell me to break up with him and do better. He is a good guy i’m just sick of the hiding.

Hi, so on my first sat i went in without studying and i scored a 880 on the december 2022 sat. My sat is this week. Ever since i got my score back i've been studying for the math section like CRAZY.

Hey I hope everyone is doing good so far in this season. So my first sprint is in about 3 weeks. I started from zero last year with the goal to finish this race. Learned to run and bike longer distances and hold a pace. I love swimming but put the most time on the running part because it's my weakness. I lost some good weight and felt very good this year.
But the last five weeks are super disappointing. First I injured some tendons from overtraining. I'm still overweight so typical beginner mistake. Recommendations from the physician -> three weeks zero running and keep the stress low on the leg. So I focused on biking longer distances. No pain everything ok. Now i got sick due to a bad cold and need to take antibiotics. Again I loose two weeks. It's very frustrating because I am scared that I loose my whole progress. I feel so unprepared!
So how can I use the last free time (18 days) to prepare myself for the race ? Should I just work on my basic endurance and practice transitions ?
Thx for any advices
I worked one year for this and now everything seems to go against me. My goal is to just finish the sprint under two hours and not be the last person finish it.

(This might not be the place to post this but I had no idea where else. Feel free to tell me if you think this would better suit another subreddit and which, thank you!)
I'm a 27 year-old woman and I've had that thing since childhood and I cannot for the life of me figure out why. It's not life-altering but I'm curious.
As a toddler, I still remember sucking my thumb and using my other hand to stroke the edge of the sleeve of whatever shirt I was wearing. I've stopped sucking my thumb at a normal kid-age but I've never stopped doing this thing where as soon as I realize that the edge of a sleeve or the hem of my shirt is nice to the touch, I feel drawn to stroke it with my fingers, and I could easily do it for hours though I usually stop pretty fast. Just thinking about it right now makes me want to do it because the shirt I'm wearing has a really nice soft cotton to it. The good thing is I can control the urge, but I'm still weirded out about it popping up at least once every other day.
To be clear, I can easily convince myself not to do it, especially with people around, and it doesn't make me feel bad if I don't do it. It's more like a weird temptation. I 'm not sure it manifests itself in situations of stress, it seems to show up in every possible context and whatever mood I'm in.
The only person I talked to about this is my mum but she's very old school so to her it just sounded like a crazy person thing. I'm not ashamed of it but never thought to tell my friends because it doesn't really torment me and I rarely do it in front of them or at least not noticeably.
Once again really not something that has altered my life in any way, but it's present enough that I wonder why the fuck it's there. I know tissue can feel nice to a lot of people but the urge to stroke it with my finger is very specific. It doesn't feel the same if I do it with the back of my hand, it has to be tip of fingers.
If anyone has something similar or think they know what that could be, all suggestions welcome.

So I (35 M) broke up with my ex (23 F) 3 months ago, things weren't working out, and I started seeing this new girl I've met on tinder. She's more on the … side, which I love, works as a waitress, cooks like Gordon Ramsey, takes it like a champ and has a tremendous sense of humor. All good and well, until I let my dick do the thinking for me. I got to thinking that maybe I was nostalgic after my ex, after all. So I called my ex, we went out for a walk and eventually ended up in bed. At this point I was seeing both my ex and my current gf at the same time, and honestly, couldn't make up my mind what I want. Of course they found our about each other, and today they both showed up at my door. It turned my stomach when I saw them both, angry as hell, in my living room. I tried to make it funny, and invite them for a 3some but they said no. They just wanted to tell me what a dick I've been and that I'm bound to die sad and alone. So now I'm alone and thinking to myself, AITA for just wanting the best of both worlds, or did I just fly too close to the sun? Is there any man who gets to have their cake and eat it too?
TL;DR My girlfriend and my ex showed up at my door today and confronted me about cheating on them with the other one.

So this happened about a week ago, my mom found a very cheap 1 bedroom apartment on Craigslist that's around $300 a month, and that had everything I wished for in a rental. It didn't have an address, just a general location of where it's at. I sent an email to the email address that was on the rental, saying that I am interested in renting out that place, and included my phone number, too. The next day, I got a text from a number I didn't recognize of screen shots of the rental listings, and it turns out, it was the landlord offering the rental. We discussed about the rental and when we should meet up for a tour of the place, and then afterwards, the landlord said that before everything is set in stone, I need to fill out an online application for a background check and credit report, and sent me a link. When I was finished filling out the form, I clicked submit and I got an error message saying that there was an issue. Apparently, I got the error message because I haven't established any credit to my name yet, and told the landlord about the issue. He asked if I have a co-signer, and I said no, and then he just said "then I can't help you. Have a good day." I didn't know if I was declined the rental or not, but luckily, my mom offered to be the co-signer, and so I went ahead and told the landlord that I did have a co-signer, he sent me a link to the same application for me to send to my mom, and that issue was resolved. He then asked if I want to meet up on that same day at 4pm, and I said sure, and so about an hour before I needed to be there, I texted the landlord asking what the address to the place is, and I never got a response. When I got to the general area of where the place it's supposed to be about 15 minutes before 4, I texted the landlord again asking where the address is, and I still got no response. I walked around the area, and there were multiple triplexes, fourplexes, and apartment buildings, and I had no clue what the rental looked like on the outside, so it was hard to find where it was. I tried texting and even calling the landlord's number multiple times, and I still didn't get a response. I never figured out where the address of the place was, and to this day, I still never heard back from that "landlord". I have a very big suspicion that maybe I've been duped, like maybe this was some sort of scam?

I will try to keep this short enough and yet provide all the information needed. Firstly, some basic information about me - I am 23 years old and live in Croatia (Europe). Currently, I am on my last year of undergraduate studies for Computer Science. Since I am about to finish my studies in 2 weeks, I will be at the point where I can finally decide "what next", since this step of my life will be over.
I will provide all kind of different and seemingly disconnected information in this post, just in order to present my character as accurate as possible.
There are things I do like, things I do not like, and things I hate about my current path. Firstly, I love to code - but I hate things such as web development. Instead, I like algorithms, AI, statistics, things that make me think and solve the problems. I love math as well. I also like physics, enjoyed it a lot in high school, but ended up in software industry due to better job opportunities.
If we talk about things related to coding/software, I seem to find interest in things related to data. It just amazes me that data is everywhere, like in every machine, in speech, on the Internet, and all that data can be very useful if used correctly. I like to read and learn about how to store data, how to extract meaningful information, how to use and process that data and so on. Well, since this is the case - I had this idea of having a Master in Data Science - and so far this seems to be the most probable choice, since it is the "most realistic one".
If we talk about other things related to computers, I think cybersecurity is interesting (but am scared that actual work in the industry is far different and more boring than in the movies). I also like to read about neuroscience & psychology (I know this is kind of unrelated). As for Data Science - there are two options: stay in Croatia or move to Vienna - this is something I believe to be a good opportunity - it is Uni that is not hard to get in, has okay reputation (not good not terrible), city is nice, courses seem to be flexible, there are a lot of students and young people in general & I love Austrian culture. So yeah, seems fine! Salary should be good as well once I graduate.
If I talk about my long term job sometimes in the future, here is the thing that bothers me. I would HATE to work in a place where I can not be creative, learn and generally move forward, and just work my thing alone for 8 hours a day sitting on a chair and looking at the screen. Hell no. I want something more adventurous, something where I can be creative, create new things, do the research and so on.
What I would absolutely LOVE one day (the sooner the better) is to have my own company. I just have no idea where to start. The reason I want this is not financial - at least not in the first place. I am aware that I need to take care of finances to make things work and also to have some money to pay the bills, but I really want more than that. The reason why I would like to have a company is not to "become a billionaire", but instead to build something from scratch, to help others, to develop, to hire people, to learn, to grow, and to do something great for humanity. For example, if I could get into gambling industry, I would probably deny that - since I do not believe this is very helpful to society. I also like to play with numbers, so probably thinking about business strategies would make me very happy.
Also, I am fully aware that creating a company is not just "fun" and "easy money", but really about hard work, putting in the time and effort and comiting long term to it. But to me, it seems like much more enjoyable journey than working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week job.
If you asked me about any specific industry I would love to work in, I am not sure. However, there is one particular "general idea" (note, just an idea, I have no business plan and this is something I should think about if I decide to make this happen) is to have a platform/company that is related to "investigative journalism".Why?
Reason #1: I love the thrill, I always get a rush of adrenaline when thinking about something dangerous. It is almost as it makes me feel alive. Discovering affairs, getting insider information and so on, you get the point...
Reason #2: Data. Did I say I like data? Yes. Well isn't big part of journalism about data? I would like to work with it.
Reason #3: Transparency. I feel like information people get is very limited. People go out and vote. They decide to support one side or another politically. They go to wars. Lose lives. And I feel like all those people deserve to know more about what is going on, about things that might not be available to the public right now. (this is "helping the humanity part")
Reason #4: Art. I love creativity. I like, for example, photography, videography, and editing. I love how free you are to express yourself on various topics, how you can create something amazing and send a message in this way.
Reason #5: I do believe that there are no high quality media houses in this part of the world. There are many journalists who write about bullshit topics or just never go in depth with the research. It is about quantity and not quality, and I do want to have different business strategy. Also, I do think that this part of the world (south-east Europe is politically very interesting, and yet it lacks media coverage, everything is very biased and researched only on the surface levels)
Cons #1: I know nothing about journalism.
Cons #2: I have no idea where to start.
Cons #3: I have no money to invest. But I have the time and desire.
About some other hobbies, I like to travel, to read, I love motorsport sport, spending time in nature, watching documentaries, hiking, gym, art, philosophy, politics, reading about investigations/crimes, martial arts, and more. I am just mentioning this for no reason other to just not forget about those. I am aware that career can not be related to everything.Where do I go from here?
So far, I feel like I'd be best to go to that DS Master, work part time to make a living, and in free time work on my company and do my best to make things work. When I happen to have some extra time, I will enjoy my other hobbies, friends and so on, but this will not be career related.This way, if the company fails, I will still have a degree and be able to find a decent job. If it succeed, I will be the happiest person alive.
Thoughts?
​
Edit: I also find joy in things like micro mechanics, like watches, and similar. But whatever, this is more of a small interest of mine than something I would make a career of.

I’ll save y’all the long ass story and try and be concise with this one.
Girlfriend makes about 38-40k a year and desperately needs a new car. Looking for anything under 16k OTD but the cheaper the better, only to drive a few mins to work and back each day. Usually I’m pretty good with cars and whatnot but I’ve never had to buy an econo box before I’m usually one to buy performance/sports cars so I’m a bit out of the loop.
She’s currently looking at the following (will be financing since she’s a new college grad, I’ll probably help her with a down payment).
Any insight would be appreciated.

I know civic and Toyota have no photos, she’s supposed to go check them out to see the condition they’re in. I’m moreso concerned with the price + reliability of these model years. The Infiniti I’m familiar with. I daily an old G35 and it’s never really steered me wrong, albeit gas mileage and maintenance costs are somewhat higher than a typical Japanese car such as the civic and Toyota

I'm a software engineer and freelancer who charges by the hour. I recently encountered a challenging situation with a client who doesn't want to pay my invoice. I would greatly appreciate some advice on how to proceed.
​

• Should I consider hiring a lawyer at this stage, or are there alternative options I should explore?
• Are there any recommended ways to assert my right to receive payment without resorting to legal action immediately?
• What would be the standard procedure in handling a client who refuses to pay, while also making false claims about the completion of work?
• Are there any best practices or strategies I should consider when dealing with a client who has expressed financial difficulties?
• Would letting him know the failure to pay is considered a breach of contract and I intend to take legal action be a good idea to force the payment? Or should I stay away from making such claims?

Here's a breakdown of the situation:

• I signed a contract with this client, clearly stating that the scope of my work would be defined by the client as we progressed. No deliverables were stated, it's an open-type contracting work.
• The contract is between the client, who is a resident in New York, and my limited company in the UK.
• My payment is based on the hours I log, which are diligently tracked and shared with the client along with the invoice.
• Initially, the client reached out to me for emergency fixes on his system over a weekend, which I promptly accepted even though I don't usually work weekends.
• I successfully executed the fixes and got the client's system back online within a couple of days.
• Subsequently, the client requested additional changes to the system, which I carried out as per his instructions.
• During the process, I discovered that the client's system was not properly set up and suggested a fresh upgrade, which the client agreed to.
• It's important to note that I sought and received confirmation from the client at each stage of the process, ensuring that we were aligned on the tasks to be performed.
• The client expressed satisfaction with my work multiple times.
• Upon completion of all the work, I sent the client an invoice for the agreed-upon amount, which was due within two weeks. The invoice is for several thousand dollars.
• At this point the client declined my offer to address some remaining issues, saying that having seen the invoice he realised he spent too much on me already.
• It has now been a month since I sent the invoice, and the client has not fulfilled his payment obligation.
• Furthermore, the client falsely claimed to have already made the payment, which is not true.
• It's worth mentioning that all the assigned tasks were completed successfully; however, due to the nature of the system, it requires further work to achieve a more stable state. I've offered to carry out this work, the client refused.
• He recently got into discussions with me, stating that I didn't do my job properly since the service is not fully functional - due to the issues further uncovered, that he did not want me to continue working on.
• Based on all that he refused to pay, saying that he contracted me to create a functioning system for him, and that I promised I'd deliver such. Neither of these things are true, never - both in our conversations or in the contract - have there been any definition of deliverables or promises made regarding what would be delivered. Note once again, that all the tasks he assigned to me were completed successfully - I have written proof of all of this.
• The client now claims personal financial difficulties and has proposed paying in small installments. To date, only about 1/4th of the invoice has been paid. There is no indication as to how long it may take him.

Any guidance or personal experiences that you can share would be immensely helpful. Thank you in advance for your support and advice!

Previous post: https://www.reddit.com/valvereplacement/comments/1363zn2/surgery_in_2_weeks/
Bio: male, early 30s, bicuspid aortic valve, severe aortic regurgitation, severe 6.9cm LVEDD, 3.5cm mild ascending aorta aneurysm, no symptoms other than a significant heart murmur and a visible bounding pulse in my neck. I had the David procedure done, which is an open heart surgery where they repair the aortic valve and replace the aorta root with a synthetic graft. The native valve is placed inside the graft.
Day before surgery: I spent the day hanging out with my wife and daughter. My parents also flew in the night before to help take care of my kid while my wife and I would be in the hospital. I'm quite fortunate to have had essentially no anxiety leading up to the day. From my point of view, I didn't really have to do much of anything so there was nothing to be anxious about :) I tend to only get anxious before a performance or presentation or things like that where I'm responsible for executing something.
Before bed, I washed with the special antibacterial soap and we changed the bed sheets, pillow cases, and my PJs. Chugged a good liter of water before going to bed.
Day of surgery: Woke up at 4:30am. Showered again with the special antibacterial soap. Said bye to my parents and drove with my wife to the hospital for 6am check-in. The surgery itself would start at 8am. They called my up at around 7am to start prep. I hugged my wife in the waiting area and followed the nurse into the pre-op area where they shaved my chest and legs, wiped me down with some antiseptic wipes, and placed an IV. I waited for about 30 minutes once I was prepped, mostly browsing reddit on my phone and sending funny faces to my wife since I was wearing a dorky shower cap thing, before a team of 2 anesthesiologists came and confirmed all the details about the procedure. They wheeled me off into the OR. The last thing I remember is an anesthesiologist apologizing for all the "stickers" (ECG electrodes I think?) they were putting on me. I have no memory of them starting the anesthesia itself (like the mask or IV; no memory of counting down from 5 or anything like that).
A blink of an eye later, I had teleported to the ICU and woke up with a breathing tube, 3 chest tubes, a Foley cather, and like 3-4 more IVs and arterial lines that I had no memory of (left wrist, right wrist, right elbow, right side of the neck, possibly left elbow? Can't recall). It was slightly uncomfortable but absolutely no pain at all. The most uncomfortable thing was that the breathing machine seemed to have its own cadence for breathing and I wanted to breath my own way. I asked them to remove it but the ICU nurse said it was still too early and they wanted to wait another couple of hours. I was still pretty out of it and I'm pretty sure I was falling asleep here and there. My wife told me that the surgeon had come by and said the surgery went very well, and they were able to repair my valve. There was still some mild regurgitation remaining apparently, but nothing to worry about.
That evening, they removed the breathing tube and I had a bit more awareness. The anesthesia was wearing off and I was starting to feel pain in my lungs, which turned out to be from the chest tubes. Initially it wasn't too bad but over the next couple of days it got quite painful if I ever tried to take a deep breath. So I was taking quite shallow breaths and didn't really want to use the incentive spirometer
Woke up in the middle of the night with severe pain in my right lung and summoned my nurse, who administered dilaudid through my IV and it quickly got better.
Day 2: I was surprised to learn that the pain meds weren't scheduled, and they would only administer them if I asked for it. I was approved for 650mg Tylenol every 6 hours, 10mg oxycodone every 6 hours, and some amount (can't recall) of dilaudid and gabapentin. My recommendation would be to set some timers to ask for the pain meds on a regular cadence to avoid it getting out of hand. My right lung was by far the worst, spiking up to 7-8 on the pain scale whenever I took a deep breath, and holding at 3-4 during shallow breaths. No real pain anywhere else, including the incision.
One of the medicines they administered twice was a day was a Heparin shot, which reduces blood clots. It has to be administered subcutaneously which I found to be quite painful, and I grew to look forward the least to this medication. They also had me on metoprolol for blood pressure.
Around mid-day, they removed the Foley catheter which I would miss -- it was quite nice not to have to worry about urination. They had me get up for the first time, drink some chicken broth, and get weighed. I had gained 16lbs in fluids (160lbs -> 176lbs) so they started me on lasix to eliminate some of that. A PT guy came and had me walk to the neighboring unit and back (about 1 minute of walking) and told me to start practicing my incentive spirometer. I wasn't able to get it any higher than 500 before my right lung would start to hurt.
Soon after, they said I was ready to move out of the ICU. A transport person came, helped me into a wheel chair, and wheeled me off. I settled into the new room. Someone came to take some chest X rays with a mobile X ray machine. It shows I had a mild pneumothorax in my right lung; maybe that was why it was painful. They didn't seem concerned about it and said it would hurt less once the chest tubes came out.
Day 3: One of the chest tubes seemed to be done draining, so they came to remove it. It honestly wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. They had me exhale and hum while they pulled it out in one go. Took about 3 seconds and felt funny, but no pain. My right lung pain immediately got better. I was suddenly able to breath a lot deeper than before and was getting my incentive spirometer up to 1000.
After this point, I never really experienced much pain ever again. Except for the god damn Heparin shots.
I kept drinking chicken broth and apple juice as my only source of calories, and the lasix were in full effect at this point so I was getting up every couple of hours to pee. I was something like 168lbs at this point (lost 8lbs of fluids).
I did 3 walks around the nurse station. About 5 minutes each. Had my first bowel movement somewhere around here. By evening time, my doctor cleared me for a regular diet and I ordered a bunch of fruits and a barley soup.
Getting in and out of bed was a chore -- I had to get help from a nurse every time. It took a good 5 minutes to organize all the tubes every time.
Day 4: The other 2 chest tubes came out, and also the pacing wires. Again no pain, just feels strange and ticklish. Easily tolerable. I suddenly had a ton more freedom. Without the chest tubes, I no longer needed the nurse to get in and out of bed. Tried to get in a couple of longer 10 minute walks, but it was definitely a lot harder. My heart rate would go up to 130 and I would need to go back to bed and lie down to get it back under 100.
I also noticed that sitting upright in a chair and eating food would also spike my heart rate, up into the 120s. I would be a little bit out of breath after eating and would need to lie down.
At mid day, they wheeled me off to get my first post-op echocardiogram. The echo results were very surprising: it showed mild-to-moderate regurgitation, and a completely normal LV size -- 4.5cm LVEDD. My surgeon's PA came by to talk about it, and said that the surgeon disagrees with the echo tech's interpretation of the images and would still classify it as mild regurgitation. More importantly, during surgery when direct visual inspection is possible, it apparently looked quite good. They think once the lasix fully drain me of all the excess fluid, there will be less regurgitation. I asked if it's really possible for the LV to shrink so dramatically in just 4 days (6.9cm to 4.5cm) and she said yep, and in fact it's a sign that the valve is working well. I think I wont really find closure on this until my next echo which is probably many months away so I'm putting it out of mind.
They did say they would switch me from metoprolol to hydralazine, which also reduces blood pressure but has the side effect of increasing the heart rate. Apparently a faster heart rate would be good in my situation to help the valve heal (I guess because faster heart rate = lower volume of blood that is pumped?).
To my surprise, the PA said they were going to discharge me ahead of schedule since I met all the necessary criteria. My blood pressure was pretty steady at around 120/80. I was a bit conflicted since it felt safe at the hospital, but I also did not want any more god damn Heparin shots so I agreed to go home.
At home, I had a wedge pillow but it was a royal PITA to get in and out of bed so I impulse ordered an power lift chair rental which they dropped off the next day.
Day 5: The lift chair arrived, which was amazing. I no longer needed help from my family to get in and out of a horizontal position. I did find that it was important to be horizontal to get my heart rate under control with the hydralazine. Lying completely flat, I was at 100 BPM. Sitting up would take me to 110. Eating would get me to 120 and walking would get me to 130. I would need to go lie down after eating or walking to catch my breath and get my heart rate down.
I went for my first outside walk, where I walked about 4 houses down and back (5 minutes).
I took my first shower sitting on a shower stool. I was very cold after -- probably another side effect of the hydralazine as well -- and struggled to warm back up in bed. I was shivering and was worried for a bit whether I had an infection, but my temperature was normal so I think I was just cold.
My appetite wasn't very good and didn't want to eat what my family had cooked for me. I preferred cold, sweet things and ate a lot of honey net cheerios with cold milk.
I filled my hydralazine in oxycodone prescription, and picked up some tylenol as well. I used the oxy once on day 5, and didn't find the need for it after. I was able to get by just fine with tylenol.
Day 6-10: More of the same. Appetite got a lot better and started eating normally. By day 10, I was able to slowly walk a good 15 minutes in one go, about .5 miles. Around this time I also stopped using the lift chair and was able to get in and out of bed solo without too much difficulty. I also no longer needed the shower stool. It was a bit of a regret to spend a bunch of money on the stool, wedge pillow, and lift chair only to use them for 3-4 days, but they did make those few days quite a bit easier so I'm convincing myself it was money well spent.
Day 11-14: Rapid improvement -- on day 14 I was able to walk 1 mile in 20 minutes, and did it 3 times that day. Heart rate is down to 90 at rest now, and eating doesn't really increase it much. I feel good enough to go back to work honestly (just a desk job, and can work from home). I was half thinking I should try jogging, but I have cardiac therapy starting in a couple of weeks so I'll save my energy for that.
I'm still on the hydralazine and tylenol. I have essentially no pain as long as I'm maintaining the sternal precautions. I'm considering stopping the tylenol to see how it goes.
All in all, I have to say it was a pretty smooth experience and wasn't that bad at all. It seems like it's not completely unlikely that I'll need another surgery in the far future, though hopefully it's at least 15-20 years away. But if it's going to be anything like this, then I really have nothing to worry about. My wife tore her ACL in a skiing accident a few years ago and I have to say the recovery from ACL reconstruction surgery was a lot harder than this!

It has happened to me twice.
21F 23M The first time with a boy who I'm sure was securely attached, we were together for over a year, he respected me, he was very patient with me and he wasn't jealous or toxic. He liked to go out to parties from time to time and my anxious attachment was always activated by not getting a quick response (to which he always apologized) but it generated a lot of anxiety, in addition to my trauma that he was unfaithful due to that my dad has been with my mom all my life. My anxiety reached the point that I didn't enjoy the relationship, we couldn't see each other that often and I was looking for a fight over everything. He decided to break up with me and said that it wasn't healthy to be like this, that I needed to work on my insecurities. I begged him a lot and he stuck to his decision, we never spoke again.
It completely destroyed me, I had to leave the country where some aunts were, I stopped eating, smiling and doing everything I enjoyed.
Little by little I started to feel better and I promised myself not to let this attachment affect my love life again (although at that time I didn't know what it was).
22F 22M A few months later I met someone with whom I connected very quickly, we were from the same country and we began to have a relationship but without being in an official relationship, despite this I felt good with him. He warned me that since I was leaving the country, the best thing is that we end things because his ex had ended it from a distance and that had traumatized him. Despite this, we continued and when it was my turn to return, he finished everything. I felt bad but I decided that I was not going to suffer like before and we made 0 contact.
A year and a half later we met again in our country, I felt much more emotionally mature that now things would work out.
However, my fear of abandonment began when we started talking again and all the symptoms began to appear, crying almost every day for not being able to express how I feel for fear of being rejected has been torture. The first month of talking, he confessed to me that he had had a girlfriend who had been unfaithful to him and that he was very hurt by it. The fact that he did not have a formal relationship with me hurt and months later he did. We kept talking and my anxiety kept rising more and more, my insecurity because he could left me again, because he could have someone else and above all because he could be only using me. I've already seen some redflags but being small I didn't decide to do anything, the first time we met he seemed more securely attached now I feel like he became avoidant.
Sometimes he gets lost for a day and texts me saying "Sorry, I was busy" or he texts me back every 8 hours. This makes my anxiety go to heaven, I have asked him many times if he wants to stop talking and he says no. At the same time, every time I want to talk about my feelings, I feel that he doesn't want to talk about his.
It hurts to feel that I will always be his second option, I'm tired of crying and waiting for him.
I have lived through hell these two months and I know that in large part it is because of my anxious attachment but also because I feel so distant at times. There are days when I feel so bad that I have thought about suicide, or I have felt death.
I've been to therapy and hypnotherapy, it has helped me with my anxiety overall but non of my terapist focus on anxious attachment.
Sorry if there are grammatical errors, I translated it.
Any advice on Anxious attachtment?

Yo hope y'all are doing well !
50 days ago on April 11th I started a type beat channel on YouTube to promote my beats. I am a multi-genre producer and so earlier on in my time making beats, I made a mock channel posting different types of stuff but saw no substantial growth. Didn't really care at first because I was just doing what I wanted for fun but eventually saw the growth potential from many different YouTubers and decided to get serious about it. All the most successful type beat producers like Ant Chamberlain, Dillygotitbumpin, Omito, DJ Pain 1 and many more etc. said to pick a niche and stay consistent. Although I did not want to limit myself, the niche I decided to pick was mostly Drake type beats. This is because he is a very versatile artist and so I would still have some freedom to make what I wanted to while still being niched down as it were.
Another one of the biggest points made though was that you shouldn't do a super big artist like Drake (which was the main example given by most lmao) because much bigger producers will always beat me in the search results. I was curious about that point and already made up my mind so I simply decided to proceed anyways.
My goal was to try and upload a beat every single day for 50 days at 2 pm EST just because that was (and still is) probably the best time for me to do so schedule wise. However, to date I have 44 vids / beats out instead of 50. The reason for this is honestly just life. Sometimes I have time. Other times I really don't. Posted later than 2 a lot of the time just because I was still working. And even when I do have the time, some days I just get bad beatblock and can't make anything for the life of me.
That being said, I'm proud of what I've accomplished thus far and have every intention to go even harder for the rest of the summer with higher quality and better consistency. (Obviously no money spent on advertising. These are the honest organic results)
Before I get into the numbers... (Don't know if I've mentioned this before. I've been producing since December but really got into taking the time to get better starting in February.)
Key Takeaways :

1. It's hard to make and post a good beat every single day. By good I just mean good enough to sell to your intended target audience. In a given day I might have like 3- 4 ideas made but only one of those becomes the actual finished beat which is posted because I don't want to post anything I'm not really feeling just for the sake of consistency.
2. Don't be discouraged by unrealistic growth from other channels. For example, I would see certain small channels with 4 videos posted and more views on 1 video than on my entire channel. Looking closer with vid IQ however, it would appear that they were just botting views as their view counts during the first few days were higher than then most recent day which means YouTube removed views which it felt were not authentic.
3. Engagement really matters. Try to make beats with good intros which build up anticipation etc. I found that many of my best performing videos where this was the case had high engagement times.
4. Be as consistent as YOU can. Yes posting every single day seems like it would be ideal but prioritize yourself first and foremost. You might have to go to class or work a shift or go lift etc. Just be patient with the process and you will be rewarded for overall consistency so don't feel bad about missing a day.

There's probably more stuff y'all might want to know so just ask me any questions and I'll do my best to reply to everyone. Also if you want to see the channel and quality of the beats for yourself

What does over-fermentation do to sourdough, or any bread dough?
I'm asking because of an ongoing problem I'm having with my sourdough pizza dough. After kneading the dough seems good - soft and elastic. I follow a recipe that instructs to leave it to proof for 16-18 hours (it's 380g flou250 wate30 starter). The dough usually triples in size - it gets very big and airy. when I make the pizzas it breaks easily and has lost a lot of elasticity. it also feels clammy and sticky. The finished pizza is not good - hard and kind of crunchy. The crusts don't puff up in a satisfying way. I'm thinking it might be over-fermenting? Does this ruin dough?
(I make sourdough bread, baguettes, and other types of bread with success. it's only the pizza that's goes wrong and I can't work it out.)
Here is the recipe I follow:

There's nothing so wrong with “Watch ‘Filmmakers for the The Machine” that it should be avoided, but nothing—besides the appealing presence of Dwayne Johnson—that makes it worth rushing out to see. spectacles that have more or less taken over studio filmmaking, but it accumulates the genre's—and the business's—bad habits into a single two- hour-plus package, and only hints at the format's occasional pleasures. “Watch ‘Filmmakers for the The Machine” feels like a place-filler for a movie that's remaining to be made, but, in its bare and shrugged-off sufficiency, it does one positive thing that, if nothing else, at least accounts for its success: for all the churning action and elaborately jerry-rigged plot, there's little to distract from the movie's pedestal-like display of Johnson, its real-life superhero.
It's no less numbing to find material meant for children retconned for adults—and, in the process, for most of the naïve delight to be leached out, and for any serious concerns to be shoehorned in and then waved away with dazzle and noise. Watch ‘Filmmakers for the The Machine” offers a moral realm that draws no lines, a personal one of simplistic stakes, a political one that suggests any interpretation, an audiovisual one that rehashes long-familiar tropes and repackages overused devices for a commercial experiment that might as well wear its import as its title.

Watch ‘Filmmakers for the The Machine has finally ended the box office blues. It will be a close call, but based on the estimates, the year's biggest opener remains Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness with its $187 million start. Nonetheless, Wakanda Forever's $180 million opening is a huge one, being the biggest ever for the month of November (beating the $158 million of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire), the second biggest of the year, and the 13th biggest of all time (though it could go up or down a few slots once the actuals come out). It led an overall weekend box office of $208 million, which is the fourth biggest of the year and the biggest by a long shot of the past four months, with no other weekend since July 8 -10 even going above $133 million.
This isn't the $202 million opening that we saw from Watch ‘Filmmakers for the The Machine in February 2018, nor should we expect the amazing legs that were able to get that film to an astonishing $700 million. With that said, expect it to perform strong throughout the holiday season, likely repeating the five-weekend number-one streak that the first film had, and it shouldn't have any trouble becoming the second highest grossing film of the year so far, beating the $411 million cume of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The audience response is strong, with the A CinemaScore falling below the first film's A+ but bouncing back from the B+'s earned by Doctor Strange 2 and Thor: Love and Thunder, which ranked among the worst for the MCU. improvement over the recent franchise installations,with the aforementioned films coming in at 74% and 64% respectively on Rotten Tomatoes, both at the lower end for Marvel films, while Wakanda Forever's 84% ​​​is closer to franchise norms, though not meeting the high bar set by the first Watch ‘Filmmakers for the The Machine's 96%.
The sequel opened to $150 million internationally, which Disney reports is 4% ahead of the first film when comparing like for likes at current exchange rates. Overall, the global cume comes to $330 million. Can it become the year's third film to make it past $1 billion worldwide despite China and Russia, which made up around $124 million of the first film's $682 million international box office, being out of play? It may be tough, but it's not impossible. Legging out past $500 million is plausible on the domestic front (that would be a multiplier of at least 2.7), and another $500 million abroad would be a drop of around $58 million from the original after excluding the two MIA markets. It'd be another story if audiences didn't love the film,but the positive reception suggests that Wakanda Forever will outperform the legs on this year's earlier MCU titles (Multiverse of Madness and Love and Thunder had multipliers of 2.2 and 2.3 respectively).
As for the rest of the box office, there's little to get excited about, with nothing else grossing above $10 million as Hollywood shied away from releasing anything significant not just this weekend but also over the previous two weekends. When Watch ‘Filmmakers for the The Machine opened in 2018, there was no counterprogramming that opened the same weekend, but Peter Rabbit and Fifty Shades Freed were in their second weekends and took second and third with $17.5 million and $17.3 million respectively. That weekend had an overall cume of $287 million compared to $208 million this weekend Take away the $22 million gap between the two Watch ‘Filmmakers for the The Machine films and there's still a $57 million gap between the two weekends.

Watch ‘Filmmakers for the The Machine, which is the biggest grosser of the rough post-summer, pre-Wakanda Forever season, came in second with just $8.6 million. Despite the blockbuster competition that arrived in its fourth weekend, the numbers didn't totally collapse, dropping 53 % for a cume of $151 million. Worldwide it is at $352 million, which isn't a great cume as the grosses start to wind down considering its $200 million budget. Still, it's the biggest of any film since Thor: Love and Thunder, though Wakanda Forever will overtake it any day now.
Watch ‘Filmmakers for the The Machine came in third place in its fourth weekend, down 29% with $6.1 million, emerging as one of the season's most durable grossers and one of the year's few bright spots when it comes to films for adults. The domestic cume is $56.5 million Fourth place went to Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, which had a negligible drop of 5% for a $3.2 million sixth weekend and $40.8 million cume., in fact )
, which isn't surprising considering it's the only family film on the market, and it's close to grossing four times its $11.4 million opening. Still, the $72.6 million worldwide cume is soft given the $50 million budget , though a number of international markets have yet to open.
Finishing up the top five is Watch ‘Filmmakers for the The Machine, which had its biggest weekend drop yet, falling 42% for a $2.3 million seventh weekend.
