2023.03.20 23:52 AwkardPierre WIBTA if I didn’t go to my birthday trip?
Apologies for format/language/ etc.
I (19F) have my birthday in a couple of weeks. The equivalent of spring break is a week just before my birthday. My father (54M) recently bought an apartment near the beach, and because he’s excited, every other weekend we have off he plans a trip there. My parents have been divorced since I was 13, and I live with my mom with my siblings.
Now, my dad has a girlfriend (48F, let’s call her R) of like 5/6 years, and she’s divorced with children too. The divorce hit me very hard. I have had fights with my dad because of the divorce (like I feel that he’s not there for me when I need him) but since we’ve been going to therapy it’s been better.
One thing we’ve never agreed on is his girlfriend, R. Our relationship, which we were working great to mend, has hit several bumps because of her. At first I told him that I didn’t want anything to do with her. He respected it at first, but then started to say that he really wanted us to meet. Tbh I didn’t really want to, but I agreed because I knew it was important for him.
I met her, and she was okay. (We had an issue because I had established a boundary for meeting R, and it was violated). My dad said he wanted all of us (my siblings, his girlfriend and her children) to be able to go out together and interact. Again. I didn’t want to, but I’ve been trying to find a middle ground, because apparently I need to put up with her and her family if I want to see my dad.
Anyway, for my birthday, my wanted to take me and my siblings to the beach apartment for a week. I was really excited for this, but then he told me that R’s youngest (13F, calling her B) has her birthday 5 days before mine. So of course, my dad wants to bring us ALL to the beach.
I told him that I didn’t want her R and her daughter B to come (her other two sons won’t be able to come, but they’re invited as well), because I want to spend my birthday trip with HIM. He replied that if R and B don’t come, then they’ll be alone all spring break.
We’ve been back and forth on this for a few weeks now, but we’re getting nowhere. Honestly, I feel like he’s not listening to me and I’m seriously debating on not going. I don’t want to and share my trip with someone else. It might be immature but im tired of not being heard. So, WIBTA?

- I had issues with my dad because for the longest time I felt like he was absent. Like I needed my dad and he was always busy. (Dealing with the divorce on his own, but I was a teenager with absolutely no self esteem, and no friends, and my only support was my family)
- I live with my mom and go with my dad every other weekend (so I see him 6 days a month)
- When I first was going to meet R, me and my dad agreed that i was only going to meet HER, not her children. Well, the day comes and HER ENTIRE FAMILY BARGES IN. I’m talking R, her brothers, her nephew, her children AND HER MOM?? And her mom enters and the first thing she says is “Well, I guess your family just got a lot bigger huh?” I just about cried. I confronted him about it, and he apologized and said her family does EVERYTHING together and he just couldn’t say no.
- I’ve repeatedly told my dad that I don’t want to see his girlfriend or go out with her OR her family. They are nice and they haven’t hurt me directly, I just don’t like them. That’s completely on me, and I’ve told him this.
- People have mistaken her for my mom, or her children and my dad’s, and he doesn’t correct them. It makes my blood boil.
- My dad has told me that his girlfriend is an important part of his life, and he wants to share of the things that make him happiest with me. I understand this, and this is why I’ve made efforts to put my best face on wherever he invites them to our time together (which is repeatedly. We’re having lunch with them as I type, and we saw them one day ago)
- I could keep going but idk how many more context you need. Feel free to ask.
2023.03.20 23:51 shalalala17 I'm simping on my guidance counselor
I (F18) found him attractive but never really noticed him until my mom came home after meeting with him (M45). She completely raved about how he was generous with his time and gave her very encouraging, helpful information about what colleges I have a shot at. Apparently, he even praised me to my mom and said that I'm always in such a great mood in contrast to many of the other students at school. After she recounted meeting with him to me, for the next couple days, I couldn't get him off my mind. I would imagine him saying all those kind words about me in his hot Russian accent. I tried to deny that I had feelings for him because he's so much older but after a week, I couldn't negate my feelings anymore. I always look forward to getting sneak peaks of him in his giant office or running into him in the halls before he asks me if I got into any more colleges. I google him and watch recordings of parent seminars he speaks at and relish in the sound of his hot voice. 🥵
Why must I always crush on unattainable guys? First my uncle, then my Spanish teacher and now... my guidance counselor.

2023.03.20 23:51 OldPersonHerder My husband (M34) and I (35F) have 3 dogs. The one that he brought to the relationship bit my finger so badly last week that I had to have it partially amputated and I need help navigating how we address it while minimizing hard feelings around his beloved dog.
This is a tough one and I know it seems cut and dry but it always helps me to crowdsource my life advice, so here goes:
We’ve been together for three years and got married in October 2022. Very happy and emotionally safe relationship so far. We each brought one dog to this union, and adopted a third together last year.
His dog, Sally, is a 45 pound female Border Collie mix who has been an amazing dog for about 8-9 years and was his ride or die prior to me. Never shown any aggression whatsoever before about 2 weeks prior to this incident. My dog, Bob, is a 12 pound toy Aussie who I have had for 7.5 years, and our adopted dog, Patty, is about 25 pounds, a year and a half old, female, and some sort of Collie mix. They have all three been together for a year now and seemed like a good pack.
A week or two before the bite happened, something in their dynamic changed, and Sally started showing aggression toward Bob when he would get annoyed with Patty and even make the slightest growl at her—she wants to play nonstop and it is tiring. Bob has never bitten/lunged/anything more than a little growl at Patty. After a week of Sally showing small signs of annoyance or aggression, it escalated to Sally viciously attacking Bob when all three dogs are present and I am there, even if there was nothing obvious to me going on. That’s just it—all three dogs have to be there and so do I. She went after Bob 3 times total.
Right now, my brother has kindly agreed to keep Sally while we figure it all out. I’m understandably very distrustful of Sally now, for both myself and my beloved Bob, and fairly traumatized from her literally biting the tip of my finger off and costing us several thousand dollars between the ER, surgery, and hand therapy. I think Patty is definitely part of the problem with the dynamic, but why now?
I guess my real question is, where do I start for guidance on safely reintegrating Sally into our family, or how do we know that all three dogs together won’t work? A dog behavior expert or more training for Patty to try and calm her down? I love Sally, too, and it’s hard to explain how much my husband loves her. I’m definitely seeing my therapist for my own issues surrounding this but would love some advice on how to handle the dogs. Part of me thinks one needs to be rehomed and in my opinion it’s only fair for that to be Sally, since she hurt me so badly. But I’d like to explore all our options.
I appreciate anyone reading all of this and giving me genuine advice.
TL;Dr: One of our dogs bit me while attacking another of our dogs, and this dog who bit me was my husband’s first love. I ended up getting the top half of the bitten finger amputated. Is the only choice to rehome one of the dogs?

2023.03.20 23:51 Nothinbuttime12 I resent everyone in my life, and hate my life.
Title pretty much says it all. From no fault of their own it's how I feel.
My wife, my friends, my family, anyone with aspirations, kicking goals, happiness etc. Makes me pissed off or mad.
I'm in a rut and have been for the last 3 years.
I was in an awesome job for 12 years and due to a medical illness I was fired at 32 years old (35 now), I was given a pension for the rest of my life. Some may say thats great, but I can't work again or I lose it.
So I'm stuck.
My condition prevents me from driving. I drove once 3 years ago and had a car crash at 80km an hour with my kids in the car hitting a tree and nearly killed us all. This is why I can't drive anymore.
I have an awesome wife who is succeeding immensely in her job and university, which makes me feel like more of a failure because I'm achieving nothing in her shadow. My kids are straight a students and I'm in their shadow as well.
Everyone tells me to find a hobby etc etc, that does nothing in regards to finding purpose. Purpose is what drives the human experience. A hobby isn't purpose. It's what we do outside of our purpose.
I'm just stuck and need a vent. Any advice will help. If anyone has been in a shitty spot like this how did you get out of how did you unstick yourself.
Honestly feel I'll just be here til I die. At 35 it's a long way to go til that happens

2023.03.20 23:51 im_not_ready_for_it9 Detailed Kiss Ranking
I've been listening to kiss a lot lately so I thought I'd rank it.
submitted by im_not_ready_for_it9 to carlyraejepsen [link] [comments]
- Sweetie (How the hell did this not make the standard album??? This had the potential to be a huge hit and it deserved to be. She even performed it on Shake It Up.)
- Tonight I'm Getting Over You (I can't even describe a more perfect dance club-type song, this song is the peak of that.)
- Tiny Little Bows (I've said it once and I'll say it again, Carly's openers never disappoint.)
- Wrong Feels So Right (I also question how this didn't make the standard album but other songs did (which will be explained later on))
- This Kiss (This was a single, how it didn't become a huge hit of hers surprises the hell out of me. This is a perfect example of a song that sounds like the year it was made (2012) but still sounds fresh today)
- More Than A Memory (I just love the way this song kicks off almost immediately after it starts)
- Curiosity (Also had the potential to be a huge hit of hers. I also love the bridge on this song and the key change as well.)
- Turn Me Up & Hurt So Good (I put these songs in the same spot because they are both two sides of the same coin to me. And both are bops with sad lyrics which I enjoy a lot.)
- Your Heart Is A Muscle (It's a very underrated ballad of hers. It closes the album great as well IMO)
- Guitar String/Wedding Ring (It's a fun dance song, nothing else much to say about it)
- Call Me Maybe (There's no doubt this song is nostalgic and a fun bop but it has definitely aged quite a bit.)
- Drive (It's also a fun song but the lyrics are kinda lackluster to me.)
- Good Time (Nostalgic and is a bop like Call Me Maybe but I question why she included this song on the album at all. This isn't even her song, it's Owl City's song and she was just a feature on it. It feels so out of place on the album too.)
- Dead Last. Beautiful (I can probably say with certainty that this is the only Carly Rae Jepsen song that I genuinely dislike and skip. It has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. It's just filler. A snoozefest of a song on an album full of fun dance songs. I definitely question how and why Carly chose this song to be on the standard album instead of Sweetie or Wrong Feels So Right.)
2023.03.20 23:51 DragonmamaGlasgow I'm (29F) not sure he'll (28M) ever be able to do enough.
So bit of background. We met at 16/17 had this really intense love and then split due to his parents not liking me. He broke my heart. We split for 3 years and then got back together. We've been together 9 years, married 4. We have 2 amazing children aged 5 and 3 and we have everything I ever wanted.
And its not enough. I'm bored. Id say I'm reasonably attractive. I work hard. Im smart. And I'm reduced to this housewife who is absolutely desperate for anyone to notice me. Unless I'm at work.
We've been going through a rough patch for the last 2-3 years. After i had our youngest I just had absolutely no sex drive. His touch made me flinch. I felt gross. And then covid hit and i had a mental breakdown. He was there. He was patient and kind and great. But he worked. He needed to work to keep a roof over our heads and it still wasnt enough.
He suspects he has adhd but he wont do anything about it. He won't seek the help he needs. Instead hes on an antidepressant which has plummeted his sex drive and means he can't ejaculate or maintain an erection. Meantime I came off my contraceptive and mine is sky high.
And then to top it all off weve both had emotional affairs over the last 9 years. Mine was with someone i was with in those 3 years we were apart. We were young and carefree and wild. We'd do things like sneak out at 2am to look at stars and have amazing chemistry. We never had sex but we came so close. He's the one that got away
And my husband is not a bad guy. He tries. But the sex is boring. Its what we did at 17. Its clunky and clumsy and I need more. I need grown up sex. With someone who knows what theyre doing. He should know my body its been nearly a decade. He's kind and brings me tea but i need excitement. He tells me I'm beautiful every day. But it doesnt excite me like it used to.
I would love to be in love with my husband. But I'm not. Im not attracted to him anymore. But I do love him. Hes home, hes safe and he hasn't done anything wrong. And I'm not sure any amount of talking, any new techniques, any counselling will make me be in love with him. I've been trying for so long. I just want to not be a wife anymore. Not be a mum. Not be constantly giving. And to feel that chemistry again.
And I feel he deserves someone who loves him despite all his flaws. Whereas I'm struggling to see past them.

Behold My mystic opulence! Although I am the maintainer of all living entities and although I am everywhere, I am not a part of this cosmic manifestation, for My Self is the very source of creation.\* 🌹 Purport : The Lord says that everything is resting on Him (mat-sthāni sarva-bhūtāni). This should not be misunderstood. The Lord is not directly concerned with the maintenance and sustenance of this material manifestation. Sometimes we see a picture of Atlas holding the globe on his shoulders; he seems to be very tired, holding this great earthly planet. Such an image should not be entertained in connection with Kṛṣṇa’s upholding this created universe. He says that although everything is resting on Him, He is aloof. The planetary systems are floating in space, and this space is the energy of the Supreme Lord. But He is different from space. He is differently situated. Therefore the Lord says, “Although they are situated on My inconceivable energy, as the Supreme Personality of Godhead I am aloof from them.” This is the inconceivable opulence of the Lord. In the Nirukti Vedic dictionary it is said, yujyate ’nena durghaṭeṣu kāryeṣu: “The Supreme Lord is performing inconceivably wonderful pastimes, displaying His energy.” His person is full of different potent energies, and His determination is itself actual fact. In this way the Personality of Godhead is to be understood. 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹 🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹 https://preview.redd.it/7sfn8jnr3zoa1.png?width=729&format=png&auto=webp&s=eaf15a4670acf03d49a942e24822b856d715e55a *🌹. శ్రీ మదగ్ని మహాపురాణము - 190 / Agni Maha Purana - 190 🌹\* *✍️. పుల్లెల శ్రీరామచంద్రుడు, 📚. ప్రసాద్ భరద్వాజ\* *శ్రీ గణేశాయ నమః ఓం నమో భగవతే వాసుదేవాయ.\* *ప్రథమ సంపుటము, అధ్యాయము - 58\* *🌻. స్నపనాది విధానము - 2 🌻\* శల్పికి ద్రవ్యమునిచ్చి సంతోషపరచవలెను. గురువునకు గోదానమీయవలెను.

Prasad Bharadwaj *🌻 24. Science becomes Philosophy 🌻\* *When I say, “I am living, because I have a purposive existence, and not merely an aimless motion,” I have to explain what I mean by purposiveness. It is interesting to see how we go from step to step into greater difficulties. What do we mean by a purposive existence? It would mean, at least in outline, the consciousness of an aim in front of oneself. Now, again, we see where we are moving, dangerously. From science, where have we come? To be conscious that there is an aim before us is to be purposive.\* *Life is, again, inseparable from a state of consciousness. And in the end, biology, also, takes us to the same thing on which physics landed us. Somehow we cannot escape the dilemma of it being impossible for us to be without the principle of consciousness, in whatever we do, in whatever direction we move. The basic sciences—astronomy, physics, chemistry and biology—have a common thing to say, finally. In the end they tell us the same thing and by this proclamation of a truth, which is beyond their own jurisdiction, they, as sciences, are exceeding their limits. Science becomes philosophy.\* Continues... 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹 🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹 https://preview.redd.it/li9t3r2u3zoa1.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=d603bea39ee54c7ba233183a0aa74b716d2a0e8e *🌹. నిర్మల ధ్యానాలు - ఓషో - 320 🌹\* *✍️. సౌభాగ్య 📚. ప్రసాద్ భరద్వాజ\* *🍀. హృదయం పట్ల స్పృహతో వుండు, చర్యపట్ల, ఆలోచన పట్ల, అనుభూతి పట్ల చైతన్యంతో వుండు. ఇవి మూడు కోణాలు వాటి గుండా మెలకువ రంగంలోకి వస్తుంది. 🍀\* *మరింత మరింత చైతన్యంగా వుండడం నేర్చుకో. నీ శరీరం పట్ల స్పృహతో వుండు. మనను పట్ల స్పృహతో వుండు. హృదయం పట్ల స్పృహతో వుండు, చర్యపట్ల, ఆలోచన పట్ల, అనుభూతి పట్ల చైతన్యంతో వుండు. ఇవి మూడు కోణాలు వాటి గుండా మెలకువ రంగంలోకి వస్తుంది. ఈ మూడింటి పట్ల స్పృహతో వుంటే నాలుగోది వస్తుంది. అది చైతన్యమే. అది రూపాంతరం. అది దైవత్వానికి దారి తీస్తుంది.\* *సశేషం ...\* 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹 🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹 https://preview.redd.it/3dufibsu3zoa1.png?width=850&format=png&auto=webp&s=2bac670f9ac3d3e3ec406eb7e45de9fa49968575 *🌹. శివ సూత్రములు - 057 / Siva Sutras - 057 🌹\* *🍀. శివ ఆగమ తత్వశాస్త్రం యొక్క సూత్రములు 🍀\* *1- శాంభవోపాయ\* *✍️. ప్రసాద్ భరధ్వాజ\* *🌻 1-18 లోకానన్దః సమాధిసుఖమ్ - 3 🌻\* *🌴. అతని అత్యున్నత ఆధ్యాత్మిక స్థితి (సమాధి) యొక్క ఆనందం మొత్తం విశ్వానికి ఆనందం.🌴\* *ఈ సూత్రం సమాధి దశలోకి ప్రవేశించేటప్పుడు యోగి ఇంకా మెలకువగా ఉన్న దశ గురించి మాట్లాడుతుంది. శివుని దృష్టితో విశ్వాన్ని చూడవలసి ఉంటుంది కాబట్టి అతడు ఆత్మసాక్షాత్కార యోగి అయి ఉండాలి. యోగి తానే శివుడని భావిస్తేనే ఇది జరుగుతుంది. శివునిగా రూపాంతరం చెందడానికి, అతను బలమైన దృఢ నిశ్చయంతో తానే శివుడని నమ్మాలి. మరియు ద్వంద్వత్వ భావనలన్నీ త్యజించాలి. నిజంగా శివునితో తనను తాను గుర్తించుకోవడం కేవలం నిర్వాణ దశలో మాత్రమే జరుగుతుంది. నిర్వాణం అనేది అహంకారం పూర్తిగా లేని దశ. ఇక్కడ జీవి కాక కేవలం అస్తిత్వం ఉంటుంది.\* *కొనసాగుతుంది...\* 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 *🌹 Siva Sutras - 057 🌹\* *🍀Aphorisms of philosophy of Shiva āgama 🍀\* Part 1 - Sāmbhavopāya *✍️.

The joy of his mystical trance (samādhi) is bliss for the whole universe.🌴\* *But this sūtra talks about the stage where the yogi is still awake while entering into the stage of samādhi. This means that he has to be a Self-realised yogi as he has to look at the universe through the eyes of Śiva. This can happen only if the yogi feels that he is Śiva Himself. To transform as Śiva, he has to repeatedly affirm with strong conviction and total dissolution of duality. Truly identifying oneself with Śiva happens only in the stage of nirvāṇa.

2023.03.20 23:48 SonOfCoul27 Is nuzzling / burrowing into your hand a sign that they will bite you?
Hello! I am a new hognose owner, I've had my little lady for 3 weeks now! She is eating great and consistently so yesterday she came out for the first time to be handled. My friend was handling her (he is experienced with snake handling but this was also his first hognose encounter). Anyway, she started nuzzling / trying to burrow into his palm which was very cute, but after 3-4 nuzzles she bit him! It was a curious "is this food?" bite and we got her off right away, she was not harmed and my friend was fine.
Anyway, my question is was nuzzling a sign that she was trying to see if his hand was food? If she starts to nuzzle again does that mean she will bite and I should gently redirect her / stop her from nuzzling? Thank you for your advice!

2023.03.20 23:47 Emotional_Sky7938 Frustrated and kicking myself
Apologies for the long vent. I’m so frustrated right now I feel like my head is going to explode.
Context: 07/2022 adopt a senior dog. Do all the things, reported no past medical history w/ records from previous vet. Reviewed and looked good. Current foster at the time basically says how amazing he is and he’s so sweet great with social, kids, dogs, everything. The history they told me was that his previous owners claimed he was 13 and were taking him to be euthanized due to old age when the rescue was called by the vet to take him instead. This raised some red flags because it seems vague and strange, but not enough to quell my excitement.
Initial vet visit after adoption and he has heart murmur 4/6, and now a half year later he has torn his ccl, in between follow up vet visits tears the other one too. So now waiting on double TPLO surgeries.
Cardio assessment prior to surgery because of the murmur and he has congenital heart disease (subaortic stenosis) and the vet was surprised he was 10 years old. Findings are very high risk candidate for surgery.
So I go back through his records and try to find out so more detail about why they didn’t bring this up when I asked if he had any preexisting conditions. I asked for the records, and bang.
The first appointment from the vet is assessment for euthanasia due to multiple bite events and fear from the owner for their children’s safety. He was then taken in by the rescue rather than euthanized. His behavior is long enough for a whole different rant.
However, that vet who works with the rescue did not note any murmur or cardiac issues for the entire year they had him.
Previous vet records before the rescue show the murmur and joint issues dating back 3 years (all the records I have at the moment) with prescription pain medication.
The more I dig the angrier I am.
I feel like they intentionally falsified his medical history and hid his bite history to get him adopted and I’m just mad. Does this happen a lot?

2023.03.20 23:45 rigbyplainrn Channel going viral + how I did it
Section 1 (viral) I started the channel in 2018 but I didn’t start posting until early 2022. When I started posting I was so arrogant and thought the channel would blow up after like 10 videos. Obviously that didn’t happen and I got humbled. But I kept on posting because I always thought I would make YouTube my career. Fast forward to last week. I decided to post a video on Monday like usual but this time I wouldn’t check my analytics because everyday because it would make me sad when my numbers didn’t go up.(I also turned off notifications). So I checked it this weekend and I was shocked. Last time I was on YouTube I had 19 SUBSCRIBERS and when I checked Saturday I had 12,000 subscribers. The video that I had posted had 250k ish views and my videos before were racking up in views. This was even more shocking because the videos I made before were totally off topic from the video I posted.
(Section 2: how I did it) I always watched how to grow channel videos on YouTube but these 2 channels really stood out: Jon Dorman (44k subscribers) and Dream (31 million subscribers) Specifically Jon Dorman’s video on how to create a killer video and how to blow up a channel. It has great tips but I also have to take it with a grain of salt because my content is based on my personality so I don’t want to do Mr. beast type style of editing. It’s too fast and not the style I wanted. So this is where Dream came in. Dream has almost hour long Minecraft videos and isn’t super fast paced editing. He really just adds background music that matches what’s happening in the video. Like if something intense is happening he plays intense music. And I would say his personality and his creativity makes you want to watch the videos. I already thought I had the personality for YouTube (+ others telling me) so I just needed to work on my editing skills. So even though I make lifestyle videos and he makes gaming videos, I just kinda followed his wave of editing that week and it’s when I saw growth. Idk if it helps, but I’m in high school so maybe that’s also why my growth happened because people my age like those videos?
If you have any questions I can answer them but I don’t wanna reveal the channel just yet because I don’t wanna mess with the natural growth (especially my high watch time!)

2023.03.20 23:45 8xScopee My very unfortunate and stressful trip
Last night I took about a roughly 2-3ish gram dose and I was having a great time feeling amazing euphoria, getting some of my first visuals experience. At the time I was hanging out with my two dogs like usual, 1 is a bigger sized pit and the other (which is actually my sisters dog) a small pug.
It was late about 11pm at night and the dogs had way too much energy and were playing too loudly in the house, so I started calming things down and had the pug sitting in my lap and the pit laying by my side for awhile. Well something had happened that made the pit jump up and get alerted and the pug likes to follow up with the other dogs reactions so she also jumped up out of my lap to follow up the pit. But unfortunately as the pug tried jumping off my lap, before I could catch the dog, her leg got caught and tangled in one of the openings on the chair and by the sounds her leg and cries made it woke the whole house up and possibly the neighbors.
Everyone came around me outside trying to figure out what had just happened and why the dog is crying and can’t walk on her back leg. I already have lots of issues with my stress and self confidence and communication, and how I handle it so I’m now starting freak out because of what I had just caused to this poor dog that I love so much and my family that moment. Other people are now stressing out about this back leg that’s possibly broken because of me and causing major discomfort for the dog. This started getting me so overwhelmed with what I had just done I couldn’t even talk words, all the stress got me so hot and sweaty and light headed and I got a weird unexplainable tingling/popping feeling all through my body as I’m pacing around my sisters room as her and her BF are trying to understand the situation.
Next thing I know is just nothingness. I can’t make out any of my vision and I can’t hear anything. They finally got me back up and I feel even more of my family yelling stressed out and I can barley make out any of their sounds, I just remember waking and hearing someone yelling about me falling over and to get me help. About a minute later when I regained my full consciousness I see the rest of my family is looking over me telling me to just stop and breath air.
When I was finally able to start thinking and make coherent words come out of my mouth, I could not have felt any more embarrassed and absolutely stupid as fuck. It’s been about a day now and I’m too embarrassed to even look or speak to anyone atm, I’ve just been stuck in my bed all day and I can’t get out for anything. I have things I needed to in life do but I just can’t even handle myself right now I don’t know what to do. I understand it wasn’t necessarily my fault, I didn’t make or want the dog to jump off my lap and get her leg tangled and broken in the chair, i just wanted to spend time with them. I want to do anything I can and pay whatever I can to help this dog but I don’t think my sister and her BF want anything to do with me and especially don’t want me taking any care of that dog.
I don’t even know what I’m posting this for I don’t want anything, I don’t believe it was caused all by shrooms but the shrooms surely didn’t help the stress in my situation it probably made all my feeling enhanced more. I’m just so stressed and embarrassed for the scene I caused I can’t even function properly and I don’t want anyone seeing my face anymore :/ . I tried apologizing so much that night and everyone says they understand but I know they just hate me for all that. I just don’t really have a relationship with anyone to talk to besides the people that are very upset with me and I’m embarrassed with atm, and I hope maybe speaking about it to something might help my guilt and stupidity that I feel. But for now this is just adding more reason why I just hate myself so damn much.

2023.03.20 23:45 DaddyDersch The calm before the storm… 2 days till FOMC. 3-20-23 SPY/ ES Futures, VIX, DXY and 10YR Daily Market Analysis
 | I have over the last month now of using supply and demand gotten tons of question as to why im using supply and demand and most importantly if I will stop using them and go back to just support/ resistance. I have been day trading off supply and demand for the last month now and honestly it has been the best tweak to my strategy yet. Here is an example of just how accurate and good Supply/ Demand can be… submitted by DaddyDersch to wallstreetbets [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/wiu9u28y2zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=89afd676560380de08a794776adc5ecf0f15ffae This is a micro scale using supply and demand but it just goes to show you (and this is just one of many examples) of how exact and how accurate supply/ demand can be. Why am I showing this? Well as I said over the last month now that I have used supply/ demand I have had a lot of feedback about why people don’t understands why I made the change and why I continue to use it… this right here shows the power of supply and demand on a micro scale… it is just as accurate as we have seen on a daily and weekly scale too. SPY DAILY SUPPLY AND DEMAND https://preview.redd.it/dntqpppy2zoa1.png?width=859&format=png&auto=webp&s=2eb3fe6391b632871af39fea756c358c0f7dd0a7 Taking a look at SPY supply and demand we don’t have much changed yet… the biggest thing to note is that we are in the process and closer to forming a new supply (Resistance) than we are to forming a new demand (support) for not this tells me that my upside target remains to be 405.2 versus a breakdown to 385.87. However, once a new supply is put in (SPY needs to close a red day in order to do this) then we will start looking at a breakdown back to 385.87 area. For now we remain stuck between 385.87 and 405.2 with really no direction yet. SPY DAILY PRICE ACITON https://preview.redd.it/o0bqyf5z2zoa1.png?width=806&format=png&auto=webp&s=89ba19164cf85a3b0aac9cd353ad06fadf1cfff9 Been trying to get a better grasp on where we are going on daily price action. We just have had such a volatile movement that honing in on any sort of real direction and trend has been difficult. AS of now we remain in this black bear channel. Despite the bulls losing daily 8ema support Friday they actually have retaken that support and now closed back over the daily 8ema. The biggest thing to watch here is the daily 20ema which sits at Wednesday resistance of 396.1. This is the most probable upside rejection and resistance area to watch. While today was not an inside day… it is interesting to note that the last two days of price action still remain inside of Thursdays daily range. This tells me honestly that we still do not have an actual direction. In all reality if you think about it with FOMC in two days now there is not much of a reason for markets to move bigly one way or another. Most probable unless we see a risk off move EOD tomorrow into FOMC would be to see SPY hold between 385.8 and 396.1 heading into FOMC. SPY Daily Levels: Supply- 405.17 Demand- 385.87 -> 376.67 Support- 390.9 -> 389.3 -> 385.7 Resistance- 393.8 -> 396.1 -> 397.8 FUTURES DAILY SUPPLY AND DEMAND https://preview.redd.it/3w9b62uz2zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=a066aa6c49069361c9aba3452502949c03dafeb6 Now something that is very intriguing about futures daily is that it actually did establish a new demand (support) today at 3945. However, what should be strongly considered is that the supply/ demand did not fully “reset” before establishing this demand. What does that mean? Well it means while yes this demand is significant and we shouldn’t ignore it… the actual supply (Resistance) established at 3995 and demand (support) that was established at 3895 last week is much stronger and way more important. What also is even more interestingly about this is that we are still in the process of waiting for a new supply (resistance) to be established. This would much like SPY take a red day tomorrow in order to do that. If we were to get a red day tomorrow we could see a new supply (resistance) established at 3988 below previous supply (resistance) at 3995. IF that happens that shows just how strong this 3988 to 3995 supply (resistance) level is. That would to me be a good place to look for more long puts. However, there is a case to be made that if we have a green day tomorrow and we push higher than 3995 that we are going to establish a new higher supply (resistance) somewhere between 3995 and 4055. If we were to do that then I would fully expect to see a move back to 3995 supply (which would become support) and look for a new demand (Support) to be put in before we push higher again. That sort of price action of establishing a new higher supply (resistance) before coming down and taking out a previous supply (which becomes support) is extremely bullish and shows a very nice uptrend. Versus when we see a lower supply (resistance) established under previous supply (resistance) which would indicate a bear trend. This next week with JPOW speaking Wednesday for FOMC is going to be quite the turning point here… FUTURES DAILY PRICE ACTION https://preview.redd.it/97unnfd03zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=06815fbd0fa6c0f2a54c45b5bc76720712faf24a Taking a look here at futures daily tells a slightly different story than that of SPY. Mostly because futures unlike SPY shows the full after hours movement. What truly is incredible is how much futures (after hours/ pre market) has been moving. We had nearly a 102 pt movement total today (that’s about 2.3% total movement). What we have here is still a overall bear trend which that bear trend would on a daily time frame be broken if we break through 3995 tomorrow. IF you remember and as is highlighted here by the black channel we have been trading within 3995 to 3888 for 9 trading days now… If the bulls are able to breakout and close over 3995 tomorrow… and JPOW doesn’t kill the market… we very well could be looking at a breakout to 4055-4095 area. However, if the bears are able to hold us under 3995 tomorrow and bring us back under 3945 there is a pretty good chance that we will see a retest of 3888 support. Honestly times like these are the hardest to trade as we have a technical based move and potential, however, that move could completely be negated by a new event (FOMC). Now there has been a lot of times where these events actually move with the technicals, however, it is too risky to take that chance. Overall here right now 3995 tomorrow is the key pivot level and key close to watch. Futures Daily Levels: Supply- 3995 -> 4055 Demand- 3946 -> 3895 Support- 3962 -> 3945 -> 3920 Resistance- 3995 -> 4020 -> 4055 VIX https://preview.redd.it/8ln5iqt03zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=1c6e436af4f7ec536403250efe33842869745814 There used to be a time… before 0dte everyday and the overall detached from reality VIX… that I would take a play on SPY strictly based on what the VIX was doing and what the VIX trend was… IF I was going to take a play based on a trend of the VIX I would be in a short on Spy looking for a decently red day tomorrow on SPY… why? If you look at the last 6 trading days on VIX we have a very nice trend of big green day -> red day -> green -> red -> green -> red -> ? If the current trend continues… we would 100% see a green day on the VIX which would take markets lower. Now we might actually get that too because tomorrow is the day before FOMC and we might see risk come off and some downside hedges be put on… It also is interesting to note that the daily 8ema is still support on the VIX. I also find it interesting that the VIX rejected 28.4 today too. This would be the 4th test and rejection of 28.4 in the last 7 days… This also is the 7th day to close over 22.9 on the VIX in a row… we have not see that many days close over 22.9 since the beginning of November. As you can see much like on SPY/ Futures we are still in a massive breakout/ down triangle on the VIX too. Key support is 23.85 and resistance of 28.5. DXY https://preview.redd.it/5hlazeb13zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=852832226e1ddc2f597a1d0e3b5bf7848fded141 This is now the third day in a row that we have seen the dollar drop and actually the 7th drop out of the last 9 trading days for the dollar… what is really interesting is that in general spy rises at the DXY drops and SPY drops as DXY rises… SPY has been green 4 out of the last 9 trading days… so as of now SPY and DXY do appear to be trading in sync… what also i am monitoring is that I pointed out this breakout triangle on DXY last week and said that would be very interesting to watch. I am watching now that this support has broken and DXY is selling off if we see a bigger push up on Spy… If it does we may have today with this breakdown been getting an early hint at a rally on SPY. Now of course this can all change with FOMC in two days though… 10YR YIELD https://preview.redd.it/2axpikk33zoa1.png?width=621&format=png&auto=webp&s=8112895c59d380782a6d12cde51a62b7bfe39c2d Interesting enough on the 10YR today we actually had an impressively large drop initially to 3.291% which is the lower the 10YR has hit since September 2022. Now it did have a massive recoil (as in rates went back up). So from a technical stand point… if one could actually TA the 10YR yield… this MASSIVE dragonfly doji is actually a huge reversal candle… this large wicked doji after the 2 weeks of downside should actual signify that the rate of the 10yr is going to see a large push back up. This will be interesting to watch play out too. DAILY TRADING LOG https://preview.redd.it/1kj9z3823zoa1.png?width=806&format=png&auto=webp&s=3e839e12958d70659a88f03c452c0a9fdc8f00e4 Pretty solid day here to start the week off green. I wasn’t quite able to get any bigger wins and got stopped out on the morning breakdown that hard recovered… honestly the hardest part about today was that this was one of the slowest bull trend days that I have seen in weeks. It was clearly (in the morning and after the mid day drop) bullish and was riding the EMAs. However, it was moving so beyond slow that it was tough timing the ideally entry. Today besides I believe one rogue candle though was actually one of the more smooth days we have had in a long time. We have become so accustomed to these wild reversal happy and erratic days that it was kind of refreshing to see a smoother trend day with no “surprises.” |
2023.03.20 23:44 Green_Obligation_755 Problems with my GPU? Optimization?
Hi all,
I would like to preface this by saying that I don't know much about PC's and stuff, my brother built mine for me some years ago, so I don't really know much about my own build either other than what GeForce tells me:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti (extremely outdated, I know)
Driver Version 528.49 (My current problem has been persistent no matter how many times I update the driver)
AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core Processor

The problem I have is similar to another thread I found: https://www.reddit.com/buildapc/comments/wagdj2/gpu_crashes_and_monitor_loses_signal_but_pc_stays/ However, there are some slight differences
With certain games, after a couple minutes of playing, suddenly my monitors will lose signal and revert to a black screen, and my pc stays completely on- with the exception of my GPU.
Whenever it occurs, I also hear (what I assume) is the sound of something, probably the GPU, shutting off
What was not mentioned in the aforementioned thread, is that I notice that the light on my GPU (which I assume indicates that it is turned on,) is no longer on whenever this happens.
In order to get my PC fully functioning again, I normally have to either hit the switch on the back or unplug and replug the power cable (I usually choose the ladder because it's easier since the end of the power cord is closer to me.)
I think it may be an optimization issue, because it only happens with *specific* games,. Cyberpunk 2077 (A newer game) will run flawlessly and this problem never occurs, but I couldn't even play a solid 15 minutes of L4D2 (a Source game from 2009) without it happening (until I made it stop by lowering Graphics settings).
It has also occured notably only a few times when playing Garry's Mod, a couple of times before stopping entirely for some reason on CS:GO (possibly because I lowered some settings,) A few times until I extremely lowered graphical settings on Payday 2, and every single time I have tried playing Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle regardless of the graphics settings (all off the top of my head).
I have vastly considered just upgrading my GPU, but I can't afford a new one at the minute (or likely any other PC part for that matter) and I don't even know how to install one.
Lastly, I have asked my brother about this after the first few times it occurred, he came into my room and looked at it and was just as confused and didn't know.
Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I would like to preface this by saying that I don't know much about PC's and stuff, my brother built mine for me some years ago, so I don't really know much about my own build either other than what GeForce tells me:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti (extremely outdated, I know)
Driver Version 528.49 (My current problem has been persistent no matter how many times I update the driver)
AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core Processor

2023.03.20 23:44 ThrowRA35oldie I (M35) am considering going no contact with my mother (F65)
I 35(M) have a great wife 35(F) and 2 amazing elementary school age children. It took me this long to realize my mother is an emotionally manipulative narcissist.
To begin, I always suspected my brother 45(M) of being the favorite. When I was little he used to torture me. Not in the sense of an older brother picking on a younger, but would physically harm me until my throat was raw from screaming. He didn't care if he got in trouble or not. My brother is a dead beat. By the time he was 18 he had been kicked out of the house 3 times, the final straw was when he threw a stone through a basement window so he could get his belongings after a huge fight. He dropped out of HS, chased girls around the country for a few years, and bummed off of people. It took him several years to get his GED.
Despite all this my parents visited him on average every 18 to 24 months. We went to visit him when my niece was born (I was 13). Saw him again at 15, I moved out at 18 and they to see my 2nd niece. Saw him again at my wedding when I was 20 (plane tickets paid for by my parents) and again when I was 22. Around that time I moved out of state and that was the last time I saw them for years.
Long story short, they skipped out on several important key events in my life. They skipped out on me joining the military and graduating boot camp, on graduating Tech School (AIT), on seeing me before I deployed to Afghanistan, and on my return. All of this while still seeing my brother every 18 to 24 months.
They finally came to see me in 2016 when my first son was born. It was the first time in 6 years that they finally saw me, and it wasn't even for me. Then they visited 2 years later for the birth of my 2nd son. That was 4 years ago.
Finally at the end of 2022 they retired. They decided they were going to be "snow birds" and stay in their home state for summer, spend 3 months with my family during the fall, and then spend winter with my brother. Cool, fine. My kids finally get to spend quality time with my parents. Instead of following the plan, they spent 3 months of summer with my brother, then spent only FIVE WEEKS with my family. And guess where they went back to during winter for the last 3 months.
This is finally where I realized how manipulative and narcissistic my mother is. After going back to be with my brother I exploded and we got into a huge argument where I admitted all of the above. My mother decided that 90% of that just wasn't true (how altruistic of her) and that i've always embarrassed her. She explained how they wanted to come see us again in spring but if I don't apologize to her they're going back to their home state. I flat out told her to just go. She tried guilt tripping me and asking if she could face time with my children. I flat out told her no and that she will not speak to us again until she acts mature enough to apologize for her actions. That was the last thing we said to each other a month ago, and I'm just ready to live my life with out guilt for stuff I didn't do.
Now I don't know if I should cut her off or not.
(Side note, in 2016 my father pulled me aside and apologized in private about missing out on stuff. I hope I'm not trying to make excuses for him, but I suspect he gave up trying to fix my mother years ago. He just rides shotgun in life rather than make problems.)
TLDR - My unapologetically narcissistic mother missed key events in my life to be around my dead beat brother and even said I'm the embarrassment. Should I move on?

2023.03.20 23:44 h8tes 33/M - Looking for some good friends [friendship]
Life recently threw me a few curve balls and while I'm recovering, I've noticed how (very) few friends I actually have. Lots of acquaintances but not many people I truly feel comfortable opening up to. Wondering if anyone out there feels the same because if so, we should definitely talk.
I'm one of those people who enjoys anime/manga and gaming, especially since I don't go out these day. Other than that I'm also trying to improve in the kitchen and take care of my mental health in general. I'll probably ask for a way to chat outside of Reddit if we end up hitting it off so it'd be great if you'd be down for that.

2023.03.20 23:43 DaddyDersch The calm before the storm… 2 days till FOMC. 3-20-23 SPY/ ES Futures, VIX, DXY and 10YR Daily Market Analysis
 | I have over the last month now of using supply and demand gotten tons of question as to why im using supply and demand and most importantly if I will stop using them and go back to just support/ resistance. I have been day trading off supply and demand for the last month now and honestly it has been the best tweak to my strategy yet. Here is an example of just how accurate and good Supply/ Demand can be… submitted by DaddyDersch to StockMarket [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/ghu6pedr2zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=a2a65e7cc093e79aafd57541b4476400afa48a40 This is a micro scale using supply and demand but it just goes to show you (and this is just one of many examples) of how exact and how accurate supply/ demand can be. Why am I showing this? Well as I said over the last month now that I have used supply/ demand I have had a lot of feedback about why people don’t understands why I made the change and why I continue to use it… this right here shows the power of supply and demand on a micro scale… it is just as accurate as we have seen on a daily and weekly scale too. SPY DAILY SUPPLY AND DEMAND https://preview.redd.it/ohefn6zr2zoa1.png?width=859&format=png&auto=webp&s=67b032bf3728e15977b5056091fc09306ee5a9bb Taking a look at SPY supply and demand we don’t have much changed yet… the biggest thing to note is that we are in the process and closer to forming a new supply (Resistance) than we are to forming a new demand (support) for not this tells me that my upside target remains to be 405.2 versus a breakdown to 385.87. However, once a new supply is put in (SPY needs to close a red day in order to do this) then we will start looking at a breakdown back to 385.87 area. For now we remain stuck between 385.87 and 405.2 with really no direction yet. SPY DAILY PRICE ACITON https://preview.redd.it/axlx17fs2zoa1.png?width=806&format=png&auto=webp&s=db373b3981eff14e74afb95add7af7dc2a32aa69 Been trying to get a better grasp on where we are going on daily price action. We just have had such a volatile movement that honing in on any sort of real direction and trend has been difficult. AS of now we remain in this black bear channel. Despite the bulls losing daily 8ema support Friday they actually have retaken that support and now closed back over the daily 8ema. The biggest thing to watch here is the daily 20ema which sits at Wednesday resistance of 396.1. This is the most probable upside rejection and resistance area to watch. While today was not an inside day… it is interesting to note that the last two days of price action still remain inside of Thursdays daily range. This tells me honestly that we still do not have an actual direction. In all reality if you think about it with FOMC in two days now there is not much of a reason for markets to move bigly one way or another. Most probable unless we see a risk off move EOD tomorrow into FOMC would be to see SPY hold between 385.8 and 396.1 heading into FOMC. SPY Daily Levels: Supply- 405.17 Demand- 385.87 -> 376.67 Support- 390.9 -> 389.3 -> 385.7 Resistance- 393.8 -> 396.1 -> 397.8 FUTURES DAILY SUPPLY AND DEMAND https://preview.redd.it/yu497tzs2zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=e7e4d5bb78e3fefdeaa325143912b7dffa744864 Now something that is very intriguing about futures daily is that it actually did establish a new demand (support) today at 3945. However, what should be strongly considered is that the supply/ demand did not fully “reset” before establishing this demand. What does that mean? Well it means while yes this demand is significant and we shouldn’t ignore it… the actual supply (Resistance) established at 3995 and demand (support) that was established at 3895 last week is much stronger and way more important. What also is even more interestingly about this is that we are still in the process of waiting for a new supply (resistance) to be established. This would much like SPY take a red day tomorrow in order to do that. If we were to get a red day tomorrow we could see a new supply (resistance) established at 3988 below previous supply (resistance) at 3995. IF that happens that shows just how strong this 3988 to 3995 supply (resistance) level is. That would to me be a good place to look for more long puts. However, there is a case to be made that if we have a green day tomorrow and we push higher than 3995 that we are going to establish a new higher supply (resistance) somewhere between 3995 and 4055. If we were to do that then I would fully expect to see a move back to 3995 supply (which would become support) and look for a new demand (Support) to be put in before we push higher again. That sort of price action of establishing a new higher supply (resistance) before coming down and taking out a previous supply (which becomes support) is extremely bullish and shows a very nice uptrend. Versus when we see a lower supply (resistance) established under previous supply (resistance) which would indicate a bear trend. This next week with JPOW speaking Wednesday for FOMC is going to be quite the turning point here… FUTURES DAILY PRICE ACTION https://preview.redd.it/vsiaobit2zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=cfa24576a1124d6b9ba2bdbc3f44a6708d4b97bc Taking a look here at futures daily tells a slightly different story than that of SPY. Mostly because futures unlike SPY shows the full after hours movement. What truly is incredible is how much futures (after hours/ pre market) has been moving. We had nearly a 102 pt movement total today (that’s about 2.3% total movement). What we have here is still a overall bear trend which that bear trend would on a daily time frame be broken if we break through 3995 tomorrow. IF you remember and as is highlighted here by the black channel we have been trading within 3995 to 3888 for 9 trading days now… If the bulls are able to breakout and close over 3995 tomorrow… and JPOW doesn’t kill the market… we very well could be looking at a breakout to 4055-4095 area. However, if the bears are able to hold us under 3995 tomorrow and bring us back under 3945 there is a pretty good chance that we will see a retest of 3888 support. Honestly times like these are the hardest to trade as we have a technical based move and potential, however, that move could completely be negated by a new event (FOMC). Now there has been a lot of times where these events actually move with the technicals, however, it is too risky to take that chance. Overall here right now 3995 tomorrow is the key pivot level and key close to watch. Futures Daily Levels: Supply- 3995 -> 4055 Demand- 3946 -> 3895 Support- 3962 -> 3945 -> 3920 Resistance- 3995 -> 4020 -> 4055 VIX https://preview.redd.it/8ihn5u2u2zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=4788719878f85c8faabbfc10dac6aba6a5871b0f There used to be a time… before 0dte everyday and the overall detached from reality VIX… that I would take a play on SPY strictly based on what the VIX was doing and what the VIX trend was… IF I was going to take a play based on a trend of the VIX I would be in a short on Spy looking for a decently red day tomorrow on SPY… why? If you look at the last 6 trading days on VIX we have a very nice trend of big green day -> red day -> green -> red -> green -> red -> ? If the current trend continues… we would 100% see a green day on the VIX which would take markets lower. Now we might actually get that too because tomorrow is the day before FOMC and we might see risk come off and some downside hedges be put on… It also is interesting to note that the daily 8ema is still support on the VIX. I also find it interesting that the VIX rejected 28.4 today too. This would be the 4th test and rejection of 28.4 in the last 7 days… This also is the 7th day to close over 22.9 on the VIX in a row… we have not see that many days close over 22.9 since the beginning of November. As you can see much like on SPY/ Futures we are still in a massive breakout/ down triangle on the VIX too. Key support is 23.85 and resistance of 28.5. DXY https://preview.redd.it/kc80bsku2zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=71719e75c3ac5ccef0a9e6c96ed8e57d1cb87537 This is now the third day in a row that we have seen the dollar drop and actually the 7th drop out of the last 9 trading days for the dollar… what is really interesting is that in general spy rises at the DXY drops and SPY drops as DXY rises… SPY has been green 4 out of the last 9 trading days… so as of now SPY and DXY do appear to be trading in sync… what also i am monitoring is that I pointed out this breakout triangle on DXY last week and said that would be very interesting to watch. I am watching now that this support has broken and DXY is selling off if we see a bigger push up on Spy… If it does we may have today with this breakdown been getting an early hint at a rally on SPY. Now of course this can all change with FOMC in two days though… 10YR YIELD https://preview.redd.it/s0uiol0v2zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=ee64c8c14acf340af151d1c89517b0018150d4e1 Interesting enough on the 10YR today we actually had an impressively large drop initially to 3.291% which is the lower the 10YR has hit since September 2022. Now it did have a massive recoil (as in rates went back up). So from a technical stand point… if one could actually TA the 10YR yield… this MASSIVE dragonfly doji is actually a huge reversal candle… this large wicked doji after the 2 weeks of downside should actual signify that the rate of the 10yr is going to see a large push back up. This will be interesting to watch play out too. DAILY TRADING LOG https://preview.redd.it/c8z8pefv2zoa1.png?width=806&format=png&auto=webp&s=437f73ef89962c38bc6cbebb3cfb161f2f32884b Pretty solid day here to start the week off green. I wasn’t quite able to get any bigger wins and got stopped out on the morning breakdown that hard recovered… honestly the hardest part about today was that this was one of the slowest bull trend days that I have seen in weeks. It was clearly (in the morning and after the mid day drop) bullish and was riding the EMAs. However, it was moving so beyond slow that it was tough timing the ideally entry. Today besides I believe one rogue candle though was actually one of the more smooth days we have had in a long time. We have become so accustomed to these wild reversal happy and erratic days that it was kind of refreshing to see a smoother trend day with no “surprises.” |

2023.03.20 23:43 arrobayo_ WIBTA if I told my friends off bc they don't wanna come to my birthday party?
So I turn 18 this saturday. I invited a couple of friends to eat and have drinks at my house at like 9pm and then to go out to a club since I would finally be legally allowed to do that in my country. My closest friends and I went to a bunch of parties and the end of 2021 and at the start of our senior year but then most of them got boyfriends and stuff and we kind of just stopped going out as much but I've always liked it and missed it. Since it is my birthday I thought it would make a great opportunity for us to go out again even if they aren't that thrilled about it but when I suggested the plan they said they didn’t want to. To be fair, they said that they would come by my house and say hi and eat and have drinks but they would leave before going to the club (one of them isn't even going to come if my friends don't give her a ride bc she says she doesn't want to take an uber to my house that late at night?? i repeat: I invited over at 9pm) I guess I just think it's selfish of them to not make an effort to have fun the way I want to have fun on my 18th birthday but a couple of my others (not as close) friends would go out with me so it's not like I'd be left without that plan, I just wouldn't be with them. I don't know if it's fair for me to get angry at them for just standing their ground and refusing to do something they don't feel like doing but like... come on! it's my birthday?? idk. wibta if i told them off?
