What does smt mean on instagram

Hi there, sorry this is gonna be a bit of a writing therapy. But maybe some of you here understand my situation, feelings, whatever. Also I’m writing all of this in a certain confidence, so please don’t use that anywhere.
To begin with I’m as we put it in my country an “absolute beginner”, meaning an adult over thirty with no sexual experience whatsoever. I basically only got my vibrator. I had a few dates in my life but nothing ever came out of it other than maybe kissing. Also I’m not much of a hunter, I rather let myself get picked. If I try to pick I’m usually facing trouble communicating. 😒 And during the pandemic I was actually glad for the first time in my life to be single.
Well this year I’ve already been through quite a bit regarding this. You see I’m in a choir and a colleague started to pay attention to me. I noticed that cause he started to copy my tics (it’s a metal choir - just let go of your stress in there). So we started dating. For the first time in years I really had a good feeling this could work out. There were just three things: My Asperger’s and his pornography addiction. And of course my sexual inexperience. But we were both in therapy, so I figured these wouldn’t really be issues. Right? So for the third date he really wanted to have dinner at my apartment. I live alone so needless to say I got the clue and needless to say I became veeery nervous! He talked to our Chorus teacher and she basically was like: You hurt her and you’ll be sorry! Well I cooked my favorite pasta, he came and… nothing happened yet again. 🫤 Suddenly my embrace was too artificial and distanced, my titts were too small, my hips too, yada yada. Oh and my Asperger’s was a problem too and he didn’t want to give me wrong hopes and such. We kept chatting daily anyway, even exchanging vacation pics. Until two weeks later during choir he told me that well his “colleague from work” he had already written about in the chats wasn’t just a colleague… I had already had that feeling, but there it was: confirmation. And I still thought: I expected this, I can handle it. Well I couldn’t… The next day I broke after a situation with a trigger. And it hit me: I’m never gonna have a wedding in white! So there it was: My subconscious childhood dream. Fast forward two and a half months and I’m still struggling with all of that. To top it all we are playing a cat-and-mouse-game in the choir, meaning: If A is confirming he’s coming this week, B finds an excuse not to and vice versa. But I tell myself: “Is he tortured by jealousy? If he knew you were seeing someone else would he do conversations with your new partner in his mind? Has he not found closure to all of this so far? No? Then move on, girl!” I even exchanged letters with a love psychologist over that and she said that while my Asperger’s sure is an issue, my complicated family history might be too. Patchwork and a complicated father-daughter-relationship. So about this time a boy from my circle of friends asked for my phone number through another friend. He revealed he has Asperger’s too and I thought this might make a much better base this time. Also: He too didn’t have a relationship so far. We met a few times in two, had good chats, drank a lot and even held hands (on my initiative after I felt the need to give him a few signals). He wanted to meet again. Whoopee! But then I called him my date and he revealed he had viewed none of this as dates and that he liked me as a buddy… Oh and of course: He had sexual experiences with women, just not in relationships… Believe me I felt soooo naive at that point… Just because I obviously can’t separate love and sex. 🙄 We will stay drinking buddies though for the time being. I don’t know. I feel like I keep seeing something something in my dating partners that they simply aren’t. The fairytale prince, the future husband, etc. Frequent Tinder-users keep warning me of it because “it’s not for people like you.” But I guess I’ll keep looking on Hiki for someone with a similar mindset like mine. Sigh. What about you out there? Anybody with similar experiences here?

I’m considering buying the YABER Pro Y9 projector as I've heard it's the best in its price range. However, I still have a few questions that I would love to get answered.
Firstly, this projector is listed as being 400 ANSI lumens, whatever that means... Does it need to be totally dark in my room for this thing to be bright enough to have any kind of contrast, or can I for example have my window open slightly letting a bit of air and light in? If it’s not bright enough, how bright is a "good/decent" projector recommended to be?
Secondly, I'm considering spending a bit more on a projector than the YABER Pro Y9 which is 200 USD. If I wanted to spend about 60-100 bucks more, what options do I have, and is it worth it, or do I need to be spending 200+ dollars more to actually get a "good" projector?

>**What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.**
Mainly for gaming. Looking to run new RPGs at high settings (E.g. Jedi Survivor and Starfield when it releases) and some online games (Apex, RL etc). I'll also look use the PC for uni work and watching films, streams etc, and possibly some coding on the side as a hobby.
>**What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?**
Roughly £2000. Would consider stretching this a bit but ideally want to keep under this amount.
>**When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.**
As soon as possible
>**What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (ToweOS/monitokeyboard/mouse/etc\)**
The PC. I'll look at getting a 1440/4k monitor and keyboard separately and can sort out the OS myself
>**Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?**
UK
>**If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.**
Already have a SteelSeries mouse (Steelseries Rival 600) and a 1080p monitor (Asus VG248QE) I can use short term and later as a second monitor if I want to. Also have a Samsung Evo 970 plus (1TB) that I could use short term and upgrade later for more storage
>**Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?**
Unlikely. Would possibly consider down the line but not interested for now
>**Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)**
Been looking more at AMD GPUs (RX 7900XT) over NVIDIA for the higher VRAM for modern games. Also would prefer 32GB RAM. You probably now more than I do though so feel free to tell me I'm wrong!
>**Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-towefull-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?**
Seen good reviews for this: ***Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case*** so I'd probably look for this or something similar. No preferences for LEDs or RGB but a window would be nice to see inside.
If I could be advised on case fans and network adapters etc that'd be great. I'll mainly look to run this wirelessly but having the option to set up a wired connection in the future would be ideal.
>**Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?**
I'll look to run Windows 11 but I can sort this separately.
>**Extra info or particulars:**
Been browsing PCPartPicker and thought about something like this (incomplete): https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/P4Dyv3
I am looking to build this myself so any tips for this would be appreciated.
Thanks for the help :)

The fall of 2022 a K5 teacher suggested our daughter be checked for ADHD- we did and received an official diagnosis. Then came the eval with the school physchologist to have a 504 plan put in place. With all the adjustments, per the teacher nothing was helping in class and we were struggling at home too but not as much as the teacher who have 19 kids in her class with no teachers aide. In the class there is so much to get my child worked up.
​
The pressure started with the school counselor who before even doing her own eval told me to get her on meds asap and said she didnt need to wait for a consultation with a psychologist/psychiatrist as suggested by the nurology dept of the childrens hospital (my daughter has NF1) . She kept sending me emails asking me about medicating our child. Is that normal? Then it was the school teacher. Whose daily messages about my child not focusing, walking around, jumping, talking over her during group time, etc.. became longer and longer. Then my mother-in law pushed it too. Said our daughter was alot to deal with when she came to visit since she has a hard time sitting still.
Both my husband and I had our reservations about it. We wanted to wait for behavior therapy and see if the 504 plan helped. However, we can see the teacher doesnt have time to implement more 1-on-1 sessions as the plan suggests.
​
So I finally go the an annual check up and the doctor prescribed methlyphenidate 5ml. once every morning for the next 2 to 3 weeks to see how she does. I know folks with ADHD as adults- none who take meds and didnt as kids. I however, don't know anyone with children who have ADHD/ADD on meds.
Our concern was becoming a zombie- my husband expressed thats what happened to his first child back in the early 2000s. Plus the possible side affect of insomina or trouble falling asleep. She already has that issue. The doctor prescribed clonidine, which lowers her blood pressure, to help her feel sleepier but she still wakes up through out the nigh and have a lot of teeth grinding.
​
As you can tell we finally gave in and gave her the first dose this morning. Within 30 mins I could tell she was behaving more calmly than she normly would. Plus the ability to have a conversation in sequence improved significantly (we have been in speech therapy for 2 years for this issue). The teacher reported back every hour-clearly with excitement. She said tremendous improvement.
My daughter worked on all her assignments independently, colored within the lines, cut the paper out way better than she did before, never left her seat-standing up only once.
​
My daughter said she didnt have a head ache just her tummy felt funny after taking the meds.
​
Since I know its only a short dose it wore off around midday. The child that came home was the one Im use to. It's so odd to see a difference. Its like she was trapped.
​
What are your experiences. Feel free to share your input on my situation. I just wanted to share and hear about others to help me grow as a parent to best support her in finding ways to manage her ADHD that reinforces that there's nothing wrong with her personally -she just have different super powers, ya know?

I (23F) am feeling unlovable after (38 M) played with my senses
Is there a difference between “do not contact me” and “do not contact me again”?
Does one imply the person will eventually come back?
Three years ago I met this guy online and straight away he put my photo as his Lock Screen and sent me romantic messages. Anyways during that time I was really depressed and we ended up ending conversation. Then a year later on my bday he popped up again and we resumed communication. It was like a Dr Jekyll and mr Hyde from him. He switched from being kind to me to being so cruel and sarcastic. I knew he was stalking me on my instagram because anytime I would post anything activism related he would advise me not to. Anyways I remember one time I told him i was training at work at he said “training, I like the sound of that”. He was in and out of my life during this time and he would take 3-5 days to respond to me and then if I didn’t respond quickly he would be passive aggressive. Anyways he would disappear for weeks and I would feel my heart so scared to loose him. One day I told him about my family history of trauma and how when my parents don’t like what I do they stop talking to me. He told me “thanks for telling me that”. I told him one day I was afraid he’d do the same. He said he’d never. Anyways by the end of it I was put on antidepressants which induced a manic episode. I remember I was sending messages and he was being snarky and sarcastic to me and twice I caught him online but ignoring my messages. He’s 38 and I was only 22. I confronted him but he just deleted his profile picture so I sent him a manic text telling him that he taught me that people were going to use me and that he can’t keep using the excuse he’s busy at work. I regret sending that message. He blocked me and in my manic mind I texted him so many messages on his number (I wasn’t thinking) to avoid him leaving because he still wasn’t replying. After three days of this stupid and manic behaviour I called him but he didn’t answer and he texted “all of this has to stop. Don’t text me” and it’s been a year and I haven’t heard anything back from him. Of course I’d never contact him but my heart is so broken over him and I have no idea why. I’m off the meds but everyday I wish I could get a second chance. I feel used and discarded especially after he saw such private parts of me and I opened up. Advice how to move on?

I'm a motion graphic designer in a small company. Our mkt dept. is one person. She has been working for less than a year with us. Design dept is me and a jr. designer.
It seems to me that our mkt co-worker is a bit unexperienced, but I'm not sure if It is just my experience that has been "spoiled " from working in much bigger companies.
She had no idea what CMYK, RGB and HEX # meant. When I ask for directions on copy for the artwork she asks me to create for her, she often answers me without being sure or without clear instructions.
She asks me to add dates and times in artwork for a certain client, but when I check the clients guidelines they ask for call to action button, not "service" copy...
And often I just get forwarded emails from clients asking for things, and then have to scroll down a long email thread to understand what they are talking about, find a link to a client guideline pdf lost at the bottom of it all.. and ask her for clarification on specs and all those different marketing terminology that mean nothing to a designer... and often she seems more confused than me ...
This week I was suddenly called into a meeting with her and the ceo, who was complaining about the layout and design of an e-commerce website she was requested to create, using an online diy website builder service... ( I had nothing to do with this project, and I'm not a web designer). And in the meeting apparently she didn't understabd that the website builder had different layout options to pick from and customize, and both ceo and her were talking like if the website builder company had to be the ones responsible for building the layout of their website...
Am I being too spoiled? What should be my minnimum expectations towards a mkt person?
( don't get me wrong. she's super chill to work with)

Hi, my puppy fell running up a step yesterday, he hit his elbow or something. He had the zoomies so he kind of smacked himself pretty fast and hard.
He cried for a bit, and was limping at first, whining when he put pressure on it, but we iced it and rested him and it went away for the rest of the night. This morning he seemed totally normal, and he was chasing our other dog, when he randomly began limping and crying again. I made him rest again, and it took him a little bit to recover, but he’s walking and putting weight on it, jumping and playing, but I’m still worried.
Is he just bruised and sore? It does not look swollen or broken, but I’m no professional. I am wondering what’s going on, if I should take him to a vet, or just make him rest for a few days.

First off, thank you to everyone contributing to this sub. I’ve been a long time lurker, but this community has helped me complete a few different builds. It’s amazing what info you can find if you just search the fucking sub instead of posting repeated questions.
So anyway, the wife wants to build her own 940v2 with a black frame and black slide with rose gold parts. I’ve found the parts from KM Tactical and some other vendors, but they look more copper to me. Anyone have any experience with the rose gold (ticn) parts from KM or any other vendors? Or is there someone reputable on here that could do a ticn coating or cerakote on them? There’s literally no one in my area that does cerakote, so I haven’t looked into that very much.
Parts that I am looking for in rose gold are:
Barrel, preferably threaded, trigger shoe, pins, back plate, possibly slide release, mag release, and slide lock/takedown
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello legal advice Reddit,
I’m currently unsure of what to do or where to post so I’m trying my hand here. It’s a longer one so hold on.
About three weeks ago we discovered rodents in the walls. Don’t know how many, or which ones. Texted the landlord and asked to have it dealt with and she didn’t reply. (This is typical and I actually did take her to court over negligence before.) I assumed she wouldn’t do anything and three weeks later we had an « exterminator » come and put rat poison behind the kitchen counters and apparently behind the liter box (I was not aware of this).
Now I wake up this morning to find the blue soft rat poison package half eaten and on the kitchen floor. I have two cats and I don’t know if either or none ate it. Upon going to the vet we discovered that the way the rat poison was set was not only negligent but actually illegal in domestic buildings (meaning it would only be allowed in a commercial building) and it’s an obligation that no matter what poison they use they must put it in a little black box so that no pets can get to it.
I don’t know if there’s a course of action I can take or not. The vet bill is racking up to an insane amount and we need to go back in 48h and see if their blood is coagulating or not.
The government website even states the following: « Domestic class products containing second-generation anticoagulants (brodifacoum, bromadiolone and difethialone) are prohibited. »
Note that this is the rodenticide they used.

When I was 10 I sometimes woke up from the feeling (oddly specific) of an old womans hand on my face but the moment i woke up and turns around no one was clearly in my room. Its been a couple of years since then and It has not happened again. Does anyone know what it could of been? I was thinking a spirit or something but i dont know any old relative that had passed away around that time.

In the fall of 2014, my iPhone 3G suddenly never started back up one morning. The battery was already very shotty back then, it would die by the end of the night. I would always leave it charging over night and have it start back up every morning, but one day it never did. I was in the middle of my last year of college, and didn’t have time to get it repaired, so it’s been left unattended for years.
I desperately want the photos on it back. Those pictures were during some of the best years of my life. I would back up the photos on a hard drive, but tragically said drive also does the same week as my phone. It was a dark time. This winter I took it to a repair place in Manhattan that could work on old iPhones, but after a month, they told me they didn’t have the right equipment to export it. Something along those lines, I don’t quite remember.
Give it to me straight: what are my chances of getting these photos back? is there any place out there that could help me? Without charging me 5k of course.

Hey guys! I need some help. I have 4c hair, usually I wear my hair curly or In braids. I don't use heat, I often air dry. I'm deciding on changing my hairstyle up and thinking straight. How exactly is the best way to go about it? I was thinking sew in or clips in but that does require straightening of the leave out part, which I'm scared will lead to heat damage if I'm using heat several times a week. Wigs just don't look right to me, even if it's $500 the lace still shows :(.
Help a girl out, what is the best route to wear straight hair without heat damage?

I'm trying to buy a filter for an old SBIG CFW-8 filter wheel, but I'm not sure of the exact dimensions. The manual for the filter says it accepts "standard threaded 1.25 inch eyepiece filters", but I don't know what that means. Andover has filters listed as "1.25 dia. (mounted)", which I assume can fit the filter wheel, but I don't really know. Does anyone have experience with using these?
I had originally bought a 1 inch filter from Andover and thought that I could replace one of the existing filters with my new one, but the filter itself is like 1/16th inch too small and falls right out. I could instead try to get an adapter for this filter. I have a Thorlabs SM1L03 tube which can hold the filter, but the threads don't match and the diameter is too small. Another option would be to get an adapter for this tube. Thorlabs has adapters that go from the SM1 to M27 x 0.75, would this fit the filter wheel? Is this the "standard" thread? I'm at a loss.

The ideal rewrite for rwby would be if they did exactly what I wanted in every possible way . For example every character that was written bad would be written good because I would do it . I believe that I could do better as one person than a whole team of writers spending years on it . And it would be really easy to , for starters , no pandering to the fans , ( well except for me I’d course , it’s not pandering if I’m the one getting what I want ) second . They would just be animated better , it’s kind of ridiculous I mean , I don’t know how animation works and my standard for what is or is not good animation seems to vary entirely on whether or not I like the show in question but ya know , I would just hit the animate better button on the computer and it would be better for sure . ( note I’m not an animator so please don’t ask me any technical questions like , what’s wrong with the animation as is , why is it bad , what is good animation , don’t worry about all that stuff ) but yeah anyway that out if the way , after I finished hitting the animate good button and the write good button I’d then proceed to adress the fans , now the easiest way to avoid fan discourse is to prevent anyone who isn’t me from ever watching the show , so it simply won’t be posted online . And finally , let’s adress the the haters in advance , first off I’m super correct , I mean look at all the other comments on here they all say the same thing . Brilliant thoughtful analysis like “ rwby is bad because it’s not good “ “ ___ ship has no chemistry because it doesn’t “ and who can forget “ animation and writing bad just cus it’s bad “ . And to those of you who ask “ why not just make your own series ? “ we’ll I’m sure you think that’s a gotcha but let me tell you , it’s not ! The reason I didn’t write the show all my own is because I didn’t have the ideas present duh , what I’m good at is lookin* at a show 9 seasons in and saying ok well I would change this one individual scene and that’s why I’m a genius . Surely my one percent contribution leads to 100 percent effort on my part . Anyway hats off to all of us critics of the show , I can’t wait for season ten to come out so I can avoid watching it , and the. Point and laugh at a perfectly normal screen and pretend it’s animated written And or just is bad . Anyone who’s objects know , like rwby , your comment disagreeing is just bad writing , because it is .

I really have been digging on Sepultura’s last album “Quadra.” @merch_report on Instagram showed a signed LP at their merch table on their current tour with Kreator—has anyone been able to pick one up? If so how much were they? Perhaps most importantly, does anyone have one they care to part with—or could pick me up one (reimbursed + shipping, etc. obviously). 🙏

Ok so before you bite my frontal lobe off just hear me out.
From what I know the mimic was something that came from the books right? And wasn’t it a known thing that the books aren’t canonical to the games? In my opinion of events, assuming the mimic theory isn’t true, I’ll start from Henry’s speech at the end of fnaf 6
Everyone burns, but doesn’t die (except Henry), so they’re all trapped in the wreckage
William is tortured by Cassidy since he has nowhere to go and is once again on the brink of death
Fazbear entertainment uses the AI chips in the animatronics to expedite production of fnaf vr. What they don’t know is that William’s soul was on the ai chip that they took out of his corpse/animatronic, so William is able to escape Cassidy’s torture and manifest himself in the game as Glitchtrap
William uses the game as a means to possess beta testers to try to take over their minds, which he eventually succeeds in Vanessa.
Vanessa, under williams influence, takes over the pizzaplex and infects it with the virus, which makes all the other animatronics hostile. Vanny then uses the glam rocks to burrow down to the fnaf 6 location to recover his body. Vanny uses Monty to destroy glam rock Bonnie to use as part to repair william’s body, which would become Burntrap.
Meanwhile, when the fnaf 6 location was uncovered, Micheal’s soul managed to escape, finding a home in glamrock Freddy, where he lies dormant.
One day, Gregory comes along, trying to uncover the mystery behind 9 children’s disappearances (which we find out about in SB worst ending), but gets chased by Vanny/Vanessa and eventually hides in Freddy’s chest.
This when the events of the game take place.
Now with what we see in the Ruin trailer and assuming that the Afton ending is the canon ending, I think Gregory escapes the pizzaplex but Freddy gets trapped under falling rubble. Gregory eventually comes back to try to find Freddy but gets trapped (presumably by William and Vanny), and thus somehow calls Cassie for help, which will lead to whatever happens in the ruin dlc
This my personal take on events since I think there a lot of holes in the mimic theory, and I don’t want to follow something that is only a mimic of the franchises main villain. What are your thoughts?

How true is this statement in regards to marriage.. "a man knows what he wants. Because I see people who get proposed to within 2 years and stay together for long and others date for like 10 years and still end up divorced.
Does that mean nobody actually never knows.
People always also say "why buy the cow if you can get the milk" you know the quote. However, these also have unstable marriages (atleast according to the US census bureau and anecdotes). I just want to hear from men who have been or going through this.
