I tried posting in relationship advice but it said my account was too new so this is why I’m here, and I’m honestly desperate for third party advice from anyone who isn’t emotionally attached to my marriage or me. I’ll try to not make this lengthy. My husband and I decided to live separately over a month ago to work on ourselves for our marriage, with the goal being that in doing so we can come back together (at least that’s what was said at the time). I’ve been living at my moms with my 2 year old daughter, and am currently pregnant due next month. We’ve had a very traumatic year & a half, which has led what was once we would both call a beautiful marriage with everything you could hope for to the point we’re at now. We’ve both made a lot of mistakes, and now what once was love has turned to resentment, losing trust, bad communication, anything that makes a healthy relationship and here we are now, living apart. In this last month I’ve been able to work on my mental well-being, and can say I’ve been able to think more clearly/rationally and feel much less depressed & anxious. With that being said, I don’t feel like my husband and I have put in the steps needed to start rebuilding our relationship. So tonight I told him what I need that I feel like would help us start moving in the right direction. First, I said I want us to start communicating with each other more often and more openly to start fixing our issues and help rebuild emotional intimacy. Second, I suggested we take the time once a month to have time with ourselves, even going on a walk for an hour just us, to also help build our relationship back. We’ve already had nights together as a family, and said if we start seeing improvement to continue increasing that. This is what I said I needed from him for us to start taking steps to rebuild our relationship if that’s what we truly want. His response was that he doesn’t believe I’m thinking more clearly after a month of time apart and that he doesn’t think I’m being sincere. He also said he thinks we need less communication about our issues or anything that deep because we still aren’t communicating correctly. Then that we need to just time with the kids, when I brought up having alone time once a month. He said he wants to be in a relationship with me, but doesn’t know if we’re right for each other anymore and only time can reach him to that decision. I made it clear that we won’t know unless we take the steps to figure that out to come to a conclusion, and that if we don’t take these steps right now then we truly need to start the conversation of what we want for our lives apart because this is not something that can wait for me. Especially with the new baby on the way next month, and I’m already feeling like a single mother. I just need to know now if this is what he wants because if not I need to start planning for the alternate future. Am I going about this the right way? If not, any advice on how I should? Sorry for the length, but I’m so lost at this point. I’m just trying to plan the future for my children and I.

I was morbidly obese for most of my childhood (heaviest was 260 lbs as a 5'6 8th grader). When I got to high school, I convinced my mom to buy healthier food so I could lose weight, and I also began playing football and lifting weights. Throughout my teen years, I put on a lot of muscle and lost a lot of excess fat by improving my diet and exercising habits, but I noticed that my chest was always pointy and my nipples were puffy.
A lot of my "friends" and teammates made fun of me and nicknamed me things like "rocket titties," "cone nipples," etc., and would often squeeze and touch my man boobs to mess with me. It really got to me because I had lost weight to the point where I had a 6-pack but still had pointy man boobs. I talked to my family about it, and they said I was exaggerating and that my chest was normal. My older brother and some of my friends told me that I just had to keep bench pressing and doing pushups to shape my chest more, but I also felt like continuing to build my chest muscles just made it look worse compared to when I was fat because my man boobs pointed out instead of drooping down.
Last year was my final year in university, and I began taking weight training again since we returned to in-person learning, and I wanted to get back into the habit of lifting before my classes and study sessions. I met a lot of cool new people in this class, but a few of my gym buddies started asking me if I've ever taken steroids or anything because they were impressed by my physique but wondered why my chest was pointy and my nipples were puffy. I began to feel insecure about my chest again, and I decided to take the issue to the campus physician (at the time, I had no car nor health insurance to go to an actual physician). I ended up having the visit with a nurse practitioner instead of the campus physician because COVID was raging on campus, and visits for that took precedence over routine exams like mine.
She began feeling the area and said I have a lot of muscle mass, but she felt glands in my chest. She took my blood, did a hormone panel, and told me everything was normal a few days later. However, she mentioned that I would need surgery to remove the breast tissue.
A few months later, I graduated, moved out, and started my first "real" job, but I was spending so much on rent living on my own that it made it difficult to save money. Still, I had put enough away each pay period that I knew I could afford surgery in about a year. But, life took an unexpected turn when I got laid off. While I was unemployed, my family also really needed help financially and almost ended up losing their house, so I blew through my savings and racked up a lot of credit card debt to help them out and also pay my own rent and bills. Eventually, I landed a new job at the end of last year and have been working there for a couple of months, but it doesn't pay as well as my last position, and I've found myself living paycheck to paycheck (at least I have health insurance now).
Last month, I visited a popular clinic in my area (Washington D.C.) that does a lot of male breast reduction surgeries. During my consultation, they said I'd be a good candidate for the surgery because I'm in good physical shape. But, it cost $7,000, and they said that in 99% of cases, insurance wouldn't cover the procedure because it's cosmetic.
Summer is almost here, and it sucks to live another year of my youth concealing myself in baggy clothing even though it'll be uncomfortably hot soon. My friends tell me no one notices and that I'm making a big deal about nothing, but whenever I take their advice and go out in a t-shirt or wear a dress shirt that's actually my size and not too big, people I walk past stare at my chest, people giggle, and kids around my apartment complex laugh at me for having titties. In their defense, I'm 22, and even the older ones are only high schoolers, so I shouldn't take it so seriously. Still, it sucks because it sometimes makes me feel like I'm in school again.
Something else that bothers me is I never have the guts to take a dip in the pool when I get invited to parties or my friends and their families ask me to come over to swim. It's especially bad when attractive girls ask me to get in with them, and I just say, "I can't swim," "I'll get in later," etc. Needless to say, as I'm sure everyone on this subreddit can relate, but gyno has really weighed on my self-confidence for years, and I just want to get rid of it once and for all.
Anyway, the three options I've thought of to get surgery currently are:

1. Get a better-paying job and save more aggressively. This will probably take a while, though, as it took me five months to get a new job after being laid off from my last one.
2. Get another credit line. However, I already have quite a bit of credit card debt from my long unemployment bout, and it isn't wise to take on more by immediately charging $7k on a new card.
3. I don't know how well this has actually worked for others, but I've seen some posts on this subreddit where people mention lying about being in pain to their physician and getting insurance to cover the surgery. I also have a few friends who have gotten insurance to cover nose jobs by telling their doctor that they can't breathe well in their sleep because of the shape of their noses (lol). I don't know if I'd still be allowed to choose the surgeon if I convinced my insurance company, but it might be worth a shot.

TLDR: I'm a broke 22-year-old with gyno. What's the best option of the above three for affording gynecomastia surgery?
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Let me know what you think, and thank you for reading my post.

My bf (21M) and I (21F) broke up today. We would have been together for 11 months tomorrow. We were ldr and I am just so shattered right now, I can't get him off my mind, everything reminds me of him, I get emotional thinking of all the dreams we had together that we didn't even get a chance at. We were absolutely fine until Sunday. It happened out of nowhere and i dont understand, i don't have any closure.
We met up last month and we kissed for the first time. It was my first kiss and it felt magical. We agreed our bond had gotten even stronger. We have the same friend group and we're still friends. But im having a really hard time coping with this and im a mess. Since Sunday he started getting really distant and I decided to give him space after asking him and he said that would probably be for the best, but we were okay with occasional messages to check up on each other.
He said mentally he's not in a good place and he doesn't feel anything. He stopped saying i love you back to me and so today i asked if he wants us to go back to being friends because i could sense the problem was deeper than him just wanting space when he seemed fine with eveyone else. And he said that we should take a break, and are essentially breaking up because while he does love me he thinks I'm his only source of happiness which isn't good and he needs to work on himself and on loving himself more before he can consider being in a relationship with someone.
I talked to my friend about it and he said it looked like he wanted to break up for a bit but was too scared to, my friend also said if you care about someone, you want them there with you when you're down, not push them away. He admitted that he could have handled things better and I just don't understand why this all happened all of a sudden. I miss him... I still love him. I told him id wait for him, that when he feels ready to be in a relationship again he can come back to me and he said while he doesn't promise anything because he doesn't know how long this will take and when he feels ready to be in a relationship again, he will come to me first but this could even take 2-3 years with studies coming into it.
I don't think i could bear to see him with someone else. I suggested therapy to him but he always gives up before even trying. He wouldn't have even applied to university if i didn't push him to (he said this himself) and i edited his personal statement to get to university level. I know the logical thing to do is move on but i still love him. I want to wait for him even if it's silly. He said he would marry me, have kids with me, that I'm the one, that were soul mates, he said i was his princess and he's abandoned it all. I keep breaking down.
I miss him, i miss his hugs and kisses and his sweet words. I even paid £90 for two sets of legos for him for his birthday next month, i paid for his train ticket to come see me last month, i payed for his Disney + so we can watch movies together, which we won't even do anymore so that money is wasted, we didn't even finish our star wars movie. I payed for him to get something to eat when he had nothing at home (his mother hadn't been paid yet and he's unemployed and lives with her) I always supported him when he needed it and i feel like hes used me and thrown me away when he had no more use of me.
Its 5:33am and i cant sleep because i keep thinking about him. I hate how unphased he seems by all of this. He's acting like nothings happened to our other friends and that he didn't just break up with someone. He doesn't seem sad or hurt at all. I wish i could feel the same way but I can't. I sent him a link for therapy and really hope he tries it because even though it seems like he doesn't, i still care about him.
Tl;dr: my bf was fine until Sunday and now broke up with me today because he feels like he needs to work on loving himself more and it could take even 2-3 years so he wants to break up. Im having a hard time coping and accepting it, have no closure and miss him and want to wait for him even though i shouldn't. Don't know how to stop thinking about him. Still friends with him.
Please be kind to me as I'm not in a good headspace right now, and i really need help.

I have been with my boyfriend for 10 months. The relationship has been rocky for while. We’ve tried to address our issues but the same problems keep coming up again and again.
Last week I decided that I’m going to end things, it’s just not working and my heart isn’t in it anymore which isn’t fair to either of us. The problem is I made this decision days before he was going to his home country for a family member’s wedding. I really didn’t want to ruin this trip for him. I knew the service is bad where he stays and between the time difference and him being busy with his family that we wouldn’t speak much while he was away anyway. So I decided to wait until he gets back to break up with him.
I told him I was busy the day before he left so I wouldn’t have see him because I really didn’t want to deceive him and pretend that everything is okay. Plus he tried to arrange to see me at the last minute the day before he left so it was easy to get out of it without too much suspicion.
The communication in this relationship largely falls on me. If I don’t text or call him then we usually don’t speak for days. I’ve been trying to balance not ruining this trip while also not blatantly lying to him. But because of the situation, other than wishing him a safe and fun trip the day he left I haven’t reached out.
So 3 days after he got there he texted me asking if I missed him and sent me a bunch of pictures from the wedding. I started talking about how beautiful the bride looked and how the event looked like a lot of fun and he immediately pointed out that i dodged his question about missing him. I didn’t want to lie but I also didn’t know what to say so I just said “yes, lol sorry I was distracted by the pictures”. The next day he texted me again with more pictures. That conversation was easier to get through. We hadn’t spoken for the 2 days after that until tonight he texted me and said “I miss you, do you miss me? Let me know if you miss me and want to see me when I get back. I need some reassurance on where we stand”. It’s really breaking my heart. I don’t know how to respond. I tried to avoid ruining his trip by waiting but I seem to be ruining it for him anyway. I don’t want to lie to him but I don’t feel right about breaking up with him over text. We might not be working but he’s a good person who doesn’t deserve that. I just feel like I made it some much worse and don’t know what to do now, please help!

Hi all. I just upgraded to a Galaxy S23, so this is my first experience with dual SIM. I've noticed that in my Sounds and Vibration settings there are two options each for Ringtone and Notification Sounds: SIM 1 and eSIM 1.
I figured out that this is because I have a physical SIM card slot (though that is empty) and also an eSIM, which is my primary (and only) SIM card.
So I changed the settings for eSIM 1, but I've noticed that my notification sound is still using the SIM 1 sound setting.
Now, obviously I can just change this, but I'm curious how this works. How does the phone decide between using the SIM or eSIM settings? Why would it even use the SIM setting if I don't have a physical SIM card? Do I have to change both each time I want new sounds?
Thanks!

This is almost a complete copy-paste of a reply I put in a guys post earlier, but I actually think this is a really good idea that would help to elevate the Ghostrunner sequel to a much higher level than the first one. While I think Ghostrunner is dragged down a lot by the Cybervoid, I don't think it needs scrapping and I actually think it can be reworked to make it a valuable part of a players first playthrough.
The cybervoid levels, while visually stunning, are massive pace-killers that I dreaded being in on my first playthrough because of how insanely boring they are. They remove the systems in the game (movement abilities, supers, enemies) that make it fun, and half the time the objective is something you'd see in a children's puzzle book (I'm not kidding), or worse - picking up cubes off the ground to open a door. The most involved cybervoid sections are the ones that teach you a new super, but even they're not particularly engaging. The problem with this is (other than putting the player to sleep) is that it adds nothing to the player experience. It doesn't teach you or challenge you in any way related to the main gameplay loop, it just serves as unnecessary padding so an old man can tell you the story.
My solution: take the Doom Eternal/God of War trilogy approach. Give me all of my movement abilities and supers, and (most importantly) replace the pipe puzzles and cube mazes with puzzles that actually teach me something about the games combat/movement. Make them almost like shrines from Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, where the solution to a puzzle is to use a mechanic that was always at your disposal but in a creative and unique way that you can carry with you for the rest of the game.
As a quick example, maybe there's a locked door that only opens when all of the enemies in the room die at around the same time. There's one of the tall robot enemies in a room with a bunch of dummies on the same level as it. As the robot is shooting its wide-beams and youre trying to figure out how to open the door, it clicks - "Aha! I need to Tempest the wide-beam so that it reflects in a way that hits all of the enemies at once. When I see another tall robot, I'll try this out." This works because the solution to the puzzle is something you can apply to the rest of the game, rather than being a puzzle where you make pipes connect together. Now whenever you see a tall robot in an arena, it'll click to use it to your advantage, creating new avenues of playing the game that you wouldn't have known about before.
What does this actually achieve?

• Turns the previously tedious Cybervoid sections into important teaching moments for the player.
  
• Encourages the player to try out mechanics they wouldn't have touched otherwise, pushing them into new playstyles.
  
• Allows the Cybervoid sections to keep their identity as the more puzzle-oriented 'down-time' parts of the game while also making them more purposeful and engaging.
  
• Increases replay-value by making revisiting these sections less tedious.
  
• Quite easy to implement as long as the devs can think of enough unique puzzles (and if I can think of even one, they're fine)
  

Let me know what you think. I reckon this would be a really cool change to see in Ghostrunner 2 because I love the first one and I want the sequel to be even better.

It's gotten to the point where I am looking at the best option to get healthier lobes and I may start fresh. Would like to hear of your experience if you've done this? What its felt like stretching back up, how it all went etc. :)

I’m going to be completely honest.But I’m going to say it I feel the biggest genetic loser. It’s like to the point where I feel my parents teamed up to make a “ very bad genetic kid. First of all I absolutely hate being short. I’m 5’7 ( my dad 5’4 and my mom 5’2). Literally all my friends are 5’11 and taller which is so annoying because they make fun of me for it everyday like I chose to be this when In reality I cannot hate it. Also I know women prefer taller men so that’s sucks. The only girlfriend I’ve had in my life was hesitant to date me just because of my height which kinda hurt my feeling but it is what it is. Even my grandma on my mom side is taller than me which is depressing.Then on top of that my dad is bald( he’s the only bald person in his family) of course by my luck. He always cursing me saying that I’m going to be bald just like him which pissing me off because why the fuck would you wish something like that on me? While on my mom side no one’s is bald and all the males are taller. So all my cousins are taller than me which me the shortest over there. Finally the health issues that ran in my family sucks ass. Prostate cancer all men in my dad side, have had it at some point in their lives . Also diabetes on my mom side which is what I am( type 2). I could go on by this post is getting too long. Point is I feel the genetic loser and when you ask a women to define a ugly man. The answer is going to be short and bald which could be my fate. But it’s whatever

I'm 30F. One of my knees crack a lot when I twist it specifically , if I want I can make it crack/pop like 20 times a day. This cracking, anecdotally, has gone down when I gained weight - had a lot of oil in my diet but now that I'm losing weight again this scary sound has come up.
Now that I think about it, my neck, fingers, ankles, toes I can make anything crack. I can even rotate one of my elbows in a certain way to make it pop. How worried do I need to be?
I've an extremely healthy routine. I workout 5-6 times a week with a combination of gym(weight training) + yoga + walks.
When I squat I can hear slight click-click in my knees (not painful at all). Okay, I have succeeded in terrifying myself as I was writing this post.
Can anyone please guide me!

For the past couple of weeks I’ve noticed that my girlfriend hasn’t been as intimate with me compared to the beginning of our relationship and I’m struggling to figure out a solution that doesn’t end in a break-up.
We’ve only been together for a short 4 months and she is without a doubt the best thing that has happened to me and I love her so much. Recently I’ve been feeling ignored and just not sexually desired anymore compared to when we first started talking. I’ve communicated with her several times about my needs in the relationship and how being sexually intimate with your partner is a huge factor for me in any relationship.
I had another conversation with her today about how I’ve been feeling and I texted her to make a list of the good and bad things that made her feel a certain way during our relationship because I thought it would be unfair if I brought up only my feelings (ex. I feel happy when you do X because Y or I feel unloved when you do X). I told her this wasn’t meant to be an attack and I don’t feel any different towards her, but when I try and communicate with her she gets upset and defensive because she doesn’t think I’m happy and it’s her fault.
I come back from work and list off all the good things and bad things, telling her things I would like more and things I appreciate. In my head I thought I was being very reasonable and explaining myself well, however after I finished I asked her if she made a list so I can see things that she likes and dislikes so I can be a better partner. Of course, she got defensive and said she never made a list because she felt like I was criticizing her actions.
I explained how I was trying to communicate with her in a healthy and positive way, but she just sees it as me being unhappy and I’m bashing her. My biggest issue right now is intimacy issues and I try my best to explain why I feel unwanted, but it seems like she’d rather come out on top and justify herself instead of working out a solution together. I told her when I felt most wanted and how I miss those moments, but she recently got a new schedule for work and is always tired when she comes back. Before we were averaging about 2-4 times a week vs now it’s once a week and only when she has a free day.
I’ve expressed how I feel anxious that we aren’t sexually compatible because I have a high libido vs low / I like having sex vs she’d rather cuddle / I like intense make outs vs pecks on the lips / I initiate more vs rarely / I like bjs/hand jobs vs she doesn’t like those / I can go for multiple rounds vs 1 and done.
I don’t resent her for these things, but I feel like our sex life is extremely one sided and I think the reason I feel unwanted is because she doesn’t seem interested in making out or initiating anymore because she’s tired. I don’t want her to force herself on me or feel obligated to have sex after a long day, but when I always get the excuse of I’m tired it just makes me want to stop pursuing.
I asked her “What if we get married and have kids. Are we never going to be intimate because we work all day and come home to do chores and be with the kids because we would both feel tired everyday.”
This is a concern I think about a lot and I believe is a valid point. Her new schedule is only temporary for 2 more months, but I just don’t want to feel like this until we go back to the old schedule because I fear things will stay the same. I need advice on any solution because I’m stumped.
TL;DR Gf got new work schedule and never seems interested in being sexually intimate anymore making me feel unwanted.

My entire life I’ve felt like I wasn’t real. I’ve felt like a pawn in the life of everyone around me. I’ve felt like my life isn’t mine, but something being written by someone else.
I’ve spent 16 years feeling like I’m on borrowed time, 11 years feeling like I should follow in my dads footsteps, 10 years like I’ve had to prove myself to those around me, 5 years like I’ve had to fit into a societal mold, 3 years like I’ve had to hide my feelings to help others, and 2 years like I’ve burned everything to the ground around me.
I can’t make friends, I’m ruining my boyfriends life, I’m ruining friendships and burning bridges with ease. I lay awake at night feeling like I’m stuck at the bottom of the ocean, unable to breath, everyone’s faces glancing in asking why I can’t just swim to the top. But my limbs don’t work. My veins feel empty of blood and filled with lead. Like I grasp at the current while my brain tells me to sink further into the sand. Like the intensity of their words engulf the warmth around me and make the water so cold.
I woke up Sunday, my eyes heavy and my heart empty. I wondered why I had to wake up. I woke up Monday wondering how breathing could be so easy when oxygen felt like something unattainable. Tuesday my body felt sore and begged to lay to rest. Wednesday had me grasping at the end of the day like an impossible marathon. Today I woke up, completely exhausted, but not a single emotion in the cells of my body. Like I’ve spent my entire life digging myself out of a hole full of quicksand. Like every shovel of soil lands on my head and steals my next breath.
I’m tired, I’m weak, and I’m ready to rest. I’ve run from the darkness for 16 years with no finish in site. I’ve begged for help, for someone to hear my screams at every corner and crack in the side walk. But everyone around me can’t hear me through the water that fills my mouth and throat and lungs. I’m tired of running. My legs are anchored to the ground. The darkness comes tonight and I’m not scared anymore. I’m just ready to rest, finally. It ends tonight.

I gasped. Dying is nasty business, and prearranging your own resurrection is even nastier. But what mattered was that it had worked.
I started feeling around the pine box. It was hard to move, and I wasn’t sure if it was the constraints of the casket or the lingering death. But after a few moments I found the needed items in the folds of my robes. I may have been found guilty of treason, but I wasn’t going to let that stop my unending work for the good of the kingdom. The treason was a false accusation, by the way. And so step one once I freed myself from my underground prison was going to be finding out who had framed me for misusing the dark arts.
As I carefully adjusted my grip on the bundle of weeds that would power my teleportation, I chanted a few arcane words. It wouldn’t do to instantly reappear in the royal court immediately after my death. I instead transported myself to the distant mountain castle, used by members of the royal court for holiday excursions. Last I remembered, it was supposed to be empty, and I had a small stash of supplies there that I could use to at least change my appearance and begin working my way back into the full royal court.
Three months later, I began my journeys through the kingdom. I heard word that a new magician, a light magician, had taken up residence in my post, but in some tavern I realized that I didn’t need to be in the royal court to serve the kingdom. There were plagues and pestilence everywhere, and as effective as light magic is against them, dark magic is even more so. I started quietly fixing the kingdom’s problems, going from village to village in a way I never could when I was tethered to serving the king personally. Now, I realized, I could serve the kingdom more fully than I had imagined possible when I was living the plush life of a courtier.
Of course, word spread that there was a new magician curing the kingdom of its every ill. Soon enough, the king’s agents tracked me down.
“His Majesty wishes to offer his greatest thanks to you, oh esteemed magician,” one of the messengers said when they eventually found me.
“I only wish to live out my undying loyalty to this land that has given me so much,” I said “Thanks are not required.”
In honesty, in addition to enjoying my travels, I was able to hear more whispers here than there were behind the castle walls. Whispers of a zealous light magician who had gone crazy. I was starting to have suspicion of who had killed me, and I wasn’t about to let that trail go cold, even if the better quality food of the castle would be nice. But I couldn’t turn down a request from my king.
Returning to the castle was surreal. I had never imagined that I would walk the familiar halls again.
When I arrived in the throne room, the king stood to give me a warm welcome. But someone to his left bolted upright.
“YOU!” he shrieked, higher pitched than I would have expected from his appearance.
“Peace,” the king said, turning to the person yet unknown to me.
“Your Majesty, that is none other than the traitor you had killed a few months ago,” the startled advisor said. “I know not how she walks among us, but you must have her killed again!”
“Why would I kill an honored guest, who has been healing our lands?” the king asked.
“She practices the dark ways!” the advisor said.
I started to get a bad feeling about this situation.
“Your Majesty,” I said. “If I may explain myself. Yes, I am your former magician, though I have adopted a new face. Your trial was fair, but I still attest that the evidence that was brought forth against me was falsified. Perfectly forged, but I have only ever used my power for the good of your kingdom.”
“Your work these last few months certainly shows your concern for the welfare of my people,” the king said.
“Dark magic cannot be tolerated!” the advisor said.
The king considered the situation in front of him. On one hand, his former magician, back from the grave, and even still living out her promise of loyalty to the kingdom. On the other hand, a new magician, fanatical to the last about the light dark dichotomy.
“For generations, both types of magic have been practiced,” he said. “I will give the accused one week to prove her loyalty to myself, the kingdom, and our laws. You will allow her this. If she is still unable to prove that the treasonous documents were forged, then she will be banished. Should she return after a banishment, then she will be executed again.
I bowed deeply. “Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty.”
I smiled at the new advisor as I left. I had a feeling that I had a new lead on who had framed me for treason.

I am plannjng to go camping but I really don't wanna pay for a private ground(I'm crazy broke lmao) anywhere I can just drive to and set up?

…until I couldn’t make it past the first few questions of my school’s sexual assault training.
I knew that I’d been assaulted, groped, taken advantage of, and coerced (I guess?) an embarrassing amount of times, but I forgot about one specific instance from a few years ago. It was basically coercion, but I wasn’t persuaded, I just gave in. There was no point in trying to run or anything, so I just faked it. The next relationship I was in was kind of similar to that experience. He always wanted sex and would keep trying to initiate it until I gave in. By that point, I knew it was wrong. I don’t know why I stayed.
The problem now is I’ve been celibate for a long time and want to have casual sex again, but I’m so full of shame. Shame for how much sex I’ve had before, who it was with, how much shit I let happen to me, and for how long it will probably take before I do end up going for it again.
I don’t want to tell my friends or therapist (switching soon because of incompatibility) about this, so thanks for reading if you did. Shit sucks

Hi guys, my friend recently gave me a dell Inspiron 5594 laptop & after factory restore I can run steam and counter strike no problem but I'm having issues with lag on simple things like opening internet or settings. I also noticed that there is a blinking orange and white light where ac plugs in so I bought new charger and still there. The details I can remember are Inspiron 5594 FHD touchscreen 500gb SSD 7i I think it's 4 cores and 1.80hz hopefully with that info you guys can maybe give me suggestions on how to speed up a bit or what to do to upgrade it aside from throwing it out and buying new one lol thank you guys.

Competitive logrolling is an analogy for maintaining the correct balance of mineral-heavy gateway units and gas-heavy units that are usually slow to build. The goal of gateway logrolling is to exploit overarching dynamics of economic efficiency and momentum control:

• Gateway units create speed through warp-in, replace HP, and maintain supply counts
• Gas-heavy units stack DPS into a thin layer of destruction through overlapping ranges, splash, and flyer stacking
• Almost all gas heavy units are non-gateway or require energy, take longer to produce or become useful, meaning their loss or exhaustion is the end of your momentum or efficiency

While there are many micro dynamics in individual unit matchups, as the game heads towards macro, the decision to augment already diversified compositions can be reduced to the simple question: do I need supply or efficiency?
Minerals and gas produce in about a 5:2 ratio from bases. If the units coming out of your bases don't approximately match this, you will either run out of minerals from lacking the efficiency of gas units or run out of gas units and stall momentum bought by mineral heavy units. Structures and economy take even more minerals, so you can't actually fight with 5:2 or lower without taking bases, which requires minerals, just for more gas.
Consider these units in order of their gas to mineral ratio:

• Zealot, Adept
• Immortal
• Stalker (exactly 5:2)
• Carrier (with interceptors)
• Void Ray
• Phoenix, Collosus
• Tempest
• Dark Templar, Mothership, Disruptor, Oracle
• Sentry
• Archon (variable)
• High Templar, Observer

All of the gas heavier units make mineral-heavy units much more efficient, especially in their niches, but many suck in a straight up fight or when retreating. Mineral heavy warp-gate units such as zealots and stalkers quickly spike up supply counts and can mainly be chosen for how they match up against the remainder of the opponent's force. Without some DPS stacking and support from gas heavy units, mineral-heavy units in large clumps tend to suffer at applying their potential DPS, especially at edge cases against clump of flyers or against properly diversified armies with overlapping ranges.
Warp-ins make Protoss armies have superior effective HP and reactivity so that they can out-perform the other races in sustaining momentum. However, over-reliance on gas heavy units without effectively leveraging mineral heavy units will almost surely lead to momentum stalls and economic or supply collapse.
Templars with storm and archons, at the highest end of the gas ratio, provide the maximum splash damage of almost any unit, but will completely bankrupt you of high-gas units if you overbuild and lose them, which you will if you are over-relying on them without stuffing your supply with more mineral-heavy units.
The warp-in network consists of prisms and pylons with a gateway or Nexus. When you keep the psionic matrix near with your slow-building gas heavy units, you can refresh your supply to avoid losing momentum or to meat shield a retreat long enough to regain defender's advantage. Matrix is protoss creep. The prism is mobile matrix that can also quickly shuffle high gas units from the front.
High-gas armies without psionic matrix & gateway units are powerful at the start of fights, but they are mostly unsustainable and may have been built by giving the opponent so much momentum that they can afford to out-replace you, leading to a supply collapse that bankrupts you in resources and capability. No spore crawler forest with brood lords and vipers on top was ever built except as a golden armada was slowly massing or rebuilding interceptors instead of steamrolling with gateway + gas units.
Especially gateways are efficient as durable sim city structures, enabling you to fight cheap, fast counterattacking units in a choke rather than among your mineral lines. Gateways as sim city means more warp-ins available. More warp-ins means you can stuff a choke long enough for recalling your gas units. Having a battery doesn't slow down units swarming through empty space. A gateway and some adepts or stalkers with a green battery can slow down a lot.
The matrix and gateway sim-city relationship may have a role in base selection and reliably extending your matrix into the opponent through base expansion instead of attempting to take "easily defended" bases that don't backstop you offensively through matrix and also require you to answer counter-attacks in far-flung corners, again just stalling offense.
While the mothership is perplexing in most matchups, time warp and storm are stronger than even wombo combo at punching a hole, and you can immediately replace the 8 supply through warp-in to take advantage of an enemy supply dip. Forcing out detection has likely paid for itself at least once and then becomes wasted after you burn the card. This is a higher momentum alternative to Tempest grinding on a defensive opponent who is contained and losing but is likely to extensively siege and drag out the game.
This theory is not a replacement to micro and kinetics. Mutas still need pheonixes to avoid snowballing. An immortal stalker ball is still countered by zealots. Ghosts hate carriers. Slow roaches die to disruptors. Glaved adepts sometimes win the game. Use this concept in addition to unit kinetics and early game micro so that when you do find yourself transitioning into mid game, you can sustain your attacks and economy into a win, even when the fights become massive and chaotic.

Hey everybody. So I'm a streamer and I'm doing my very first stream with OBS and a Capture card because my game play is on Xbox. Everything is working ok except there's an audio Delay between the game and my headphones and my viewers say they notice the sound Delay as well. I've never messed with OBS and no vids give me the exact answer I'm looking for. This Delay is really messing up my game and I have no clue how to fix it. Capture care is an elgato 60s+ and I'm using HyperX Cloud wired headphones with both jacks plugged into my PC. Any advice would be awesome
