Guy invites me over then calls off but let’s other women over and let’s them come
2023.03.20 23:40 ishshejeeh Guy invites me over then calls off but let’s other women over and let’s them come
I wish there was a”unfair” flair cuz this is unfair. This guy keeps meeting up with other girls but never with me. I know. It’s depressing. What can I do about it? I mean there isn’t much to say but I just find it wierd. He meets up with other girls near his home and allows them to go in his house. But when it comes to me and him he talks/jokes about me coming over but I never actually get to come over cuz he says sometning came up. It’s always always that but when it’s with other girls he apparently has no plans as he lets them in his house all day.
The funny thing is that he is the only bringing up the idea. Not me. I don’t say anything. He did it again a few days ago. I knew he was inviting other women to his dorm and he stupidly asked me to come over on the last day of his sp break. Stupid right? He could’ve asked any other time. I swear even if he wasn’t seirous he chose the most worst time for me. FOR ME. I didn’t say I would go but I said ILL GO IF if HE wants me to. I was halfway out the door in this situation on purpose cuz I felt like he was gonan flake out again on purpose.
And he did. He says he’s busy with some stupid shit then a girl comes to his dorm the next day. The funny part is that he’s inviting me. I didn’t ask to come over. Fucking disgusting , he keeps showing me these annoying cheeky signs that a girl was over. And I’m mad. I’m upset. I have every right to be upset. It’s disgusting and dehumanizing. The good thing is that I didn’t put my plans aside this time and I didn’t let my friend do the same as they were gonna give me a ride. I warned my friend that this fucker of a punk might juke out on purpose. Thank you to those who read. I don’t need any advice it’s a rant but I would love to know what you think.

 | 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 Daytrading [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/trbwjgb22zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=6e6e2b03057fce68712691cf2b9da187514c49d8 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/gcrd5ns22zoa1.png?width=859&format=png&auto=webp&s=eedb506ae67a6e2bcb132d4e1497c45f8643a7d4 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/vr5lem932zoa1.png?width=806&format=png&auto=webp&s=ad6005ef3ec0a4a883b88601b4ef3b3683d4b5d4 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/hrkentr32zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=fd0bccdc1f33f7ac88dc9610ca5bf170da444295 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/kxploze42zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=a692755f6a9a56e858b0a294fb6c201071f2bee2 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/9fz86oy42zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=bd011361da88e8a3da1188a6a14f7b5687ae82da 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/7a55xxe52zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=ff53f88f34fa7d94f526d92121950886d3520225 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/pt940tw52zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=6cbb6382a7b0904703a7f93ad8e889e3be884a9a 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/a9wva8c62zoa1.png?width=806&format=png&auto=webp&s=67736b1644c7aee6b127033aeb7e52b69ca0b342 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 23:39 Scafista_T-J People who hate their job but can't quit for now, how do you deal with it?
They moved me to another department. I liked the previous one, i hate this one. In the previous one i was hired through an intermediate company, in this one I'm hired directly by the main company.
I'm young (24) and I'm just trying to make some money in this company near home while I'm pursuing something else. I really need the money.
This new department is more technical (previous one was logistics). There's much stuff to learn and the environment is a bit hostile. The work is not smooth like before, I don't like the people and i feel excluded.
Every day is a challenge, every morning is very hard. I look forward to the end of the shift since the beginning.
How do you cope when you feel like this?

You do not get to pick your own seat and I'm told it's considered rude to ask.You often hear that Japanese parks have terrible operations and, with the exception of the two American ones (Disney and Universal), this is true, but those two get such insane crowds that lines are very long anyways. Get used to waiting. On the bright side, every single park had free bins or lockers in the stations to store things. None allow loose articles (even in zippered pockets or glasses with straps) and many enforce this with metal detection, but with free lockers, I don't mind this. You put your stuff in the locker and then your key comes with a strap that you wear around your wrist. Simple enough. I wish free lockers were a thing at more American parks (cough Great Adventure). Parks close their rides by the posted wait time before park close. So if a ride has a posted 120 minute wait and the park closes at 5, they will close the line at 3 and stop allowing people to queue. This means if you get off a ride say 45 minutes before park close, there's basically nothing left for you to do. Japanese parks love ferris wheels. They're everywhere. Buying tickets for anything online is like pulling teeth. Some parks straight up require you to buy tickets through Seven Eleven which is wild (and Seven Eleven requires a Japanese name to buy tickets). Disney's website crashed every time I put in my card and Universal's website said they don't take foreign Visas and Mastercards. Those two I bought through an authorized reseller (Klook) and the rest I bought in person at the park. Masks are still everywhere in Japan, not by law but by social custom (and sometimes park mandate), even on the roller coasters and outside. Finally, the smaller the park, the less likely the staff speak English (which I understand; I wouldn't expect the average Six Flags ride op to speak fluent Japanese either). Just be patient and kind; in my experience Japanese customer service people are some of the nicest in the world. In general it's not hard to figure out what they're saying through a combination of prior experience (eg: the person assigning rows asking you a question probably wants to know the number of people in your party) and just watching what people around you are doing. As someone who doesn't speak Japanese, it was never impossible for me to figure it out, and if all else fails, Google Translate always exists. I recommend downloading the Japanese language pack when you have wifi. Tokyo Dome CityUnfortunately Thunder Dolphin was closed for maintenance still so I didn't actually get to ride anything here.Big pancake looking thing No reopening date Tokyo JoypolisJoypolis entranceI paid per ride as I only rode the one coaster. There is a foreigner discount if you have your passport on you (which apparently Japanese law requires you keep on you as a tourist at all times anyways). Geki-on Live CoasterI rode a spinning inverting interactive dark ride rhythm game roller coaster. I did not know these were words that went together.In all seriousness, when they made the world's first inverting spinning coaster, they were so busy stuffing it with gimmicks that they forgot to make the ride good. I was genuinely curious how having playing a rhythm game while riding a coaster would work because it sounded kind of fun, but unfortunately the rhythm game portion is separate from the coaster portion. You play a bad latency-filled rhythm game for a bit and then there's a tire launch into a single heartline roll and that's the ride. There's a trim and a few slow turns after that but you're basically just meandering back to the station. You're better off just downloading a good rhythm game to your phone and playing it while in line for Time Traveler. The single heartline roll Not the best use of an hour in line, but hey, at least it was interesting. Tokyo DisneySeaI went on a random non-holiday Tuesday and showed up 30 minutes before park open. The lines were as promised. Also if you buy your ticket through an authorized reseller, your ticket is on your phone, but the official park app requires you to scan your ticket and the app is, of course, also on your phone. So there's literally no way to do that without the help of someone else. Without the app, you can't book reservations or buy fast passes (which cost money now; there's a lot of outdated info still out there on the English web). On the bright side, most employees had no problem with English here and guest services even had English park maps on request.\"Medium / Light crowds\" per most crowd calendars Also this park is shockingly affordable, not just for a Disney park but in general. I got a full meal with a drink for lunch for only $12. Sodas can be had for around $1.50. Admission was only like $60. It's wild. Raging SpiritsThere is a single rider line (or at least there was when I was there). It's very hard to find; ask an employee. I waited in the standby line the first time while the single rider queue was literally a station wait.This is a not very exciting Intamin family-ish coaster with a single vertical loop. Not much else to say. Tobu ZooThis park is actually a bit under a mile away from the nearest train station, an oddity by Japanese park standards. You can wait for the bus if you want but I took the rather pleasant stroll through the town to get to the park.Note that El Toro Ryan went to the wrong train station in his video if you watch it. I did also find this video helpful for this park and Yomiuriland. The staff spoke exactly zero English when I came. Google Translate was invaluable for getting tickets purchased. I just bought the one ride because the rest of the park was honestly quite beat down and depressing. Sad Regina 2 was still closed; I missed it by a few days. The signage makes it look like it's getting GCI trains which is cool I guess. The old trains were on display in the park if you wanted photos. Regina 2 ad in the train station Presumably the old trains KawasemiA good roller coasterThis really is just a smaller I305, starting with the same drop, 270 degree right turn, and airtime hill under the lift. The resemblence is uncanny, but unlike I305, it doesn't make me wanna black out from the forces. I really enjoyed this ride. It has some awesome airtime and I'm shocked Intamin hasn't sold more of these. Fuji-Q HighlandFinally getting to the big coaster parks. I stayed at the park hotel because it was pretty affordable and got me 30 minutes early entry. I could also buy tickets at the front desk.There is a train station at the park but taking a bus from Tokyo was cheaper and faster, even with traffic, because the train makes too many stops (even if you pay up for the Limited Express). Calling this park the Six Flags of Japan is a disservice to the fact that there are genuinely pleasant Six Flags parks. This park was sad. Cracked pavement, chipped paint, you name it (except trash; as with all of Japan there is no litter anywhere). The fact that there was construction everywhere didn't help the vibe, and neither did the nearly empty park on the weekday I went (not empty enough to stop everything from being a two hour wait from poor ops though). There are machines by major rides to purchase fast passes, and I think they take credit card (a rarity). I never used them though as with Do-Dodonpa still down, I was really only there for 3 credits and with early entry, I walked onto the first train of the day on Eejanaika. On all major coasters, they would have staff brief each train of riders on safety instructions and then make everyone chant a mnemonic that I assume involves the safety info we were given? As a non Japanese speaker I kinda had no idea what was going on but having everyone stand in a circle chanting some rhyme while tapping their knees for every train of oncoming riders was not helping the operational speed. EejanaikaEejanaikaYou already know that this coaster is great. It feels very much like X2 but the rotations are smoother (I didn't hurt my calves even once on the raven turn). I also lucked out that on my 3 rides, I got the front twice and the back once. This coaster alone makes the park worth visiting. Such a shame that with only 5 rows per train (instead of X2's 7) and ops that make Magic Mountain look like Disney, it takes so long to get on this coaster. Also the park had three safety belts on the coaster (instead of X2's one) and one of the belts literally attached the chest harness to the seat chasis?? It literally doesn't hold anything to anything; it's just there to take up time. TakabishaTakabishaThis is just TMNT Shellraiser and it's unfortunate both copies of this good ride are in subpar parks. I didn't even notice too bad of a rattle on this one. Just an all around enjoyable ride. Great views of Mt. Fuji onboard too. FujiyamaFujiyamaIt's true. All the Togos that aren't unrideable garbage are in Japan. This one even had some okay airtime early on. Unfortunately there was a rather unpleasant vibration (not quite a rattle; too high frequency for that) in the valleys that made my lungs uncomfortable; I coughed basically all the way through the second half of the ride. I don't know if this was just a me thing and I decided against a second ride to find out. I don't remember where I got this cool view of the under construction coaster but I think it was this ride's exit. Construction site Voyage Dans Le CielThis ride opened late and having just eaten lunch I decided why not? Don't think I'd ridden a coaster by Hoei Sangyo before. It's just a family inverted coaster with very aggressive midcourse brakes. YomiurilandAnother park not directly connected to the train network, although from Keiō-yomiuri-land station there is a cable car you can pay for with great views of Bandit (the other train station has a boring bus). This is another park I paid per ride because I was just getting the credits before leaving.Cable car ride Was shockingly full even during the week; I think I caught a school trip or something because it looked like teachers were leading classes full of students around. Vending machines selling ride tickets and fast passes were cash only (admission could be paid with credit card). BanditAnother not terrible Togo, and this one didn't hurt my lungs. Great use of terrain and some competent airtime too. Just an overall fun time.Spin RunwayThis indoor spinning family coaster made me laugh because as far as I could tell they had put on a Hatsune Miku theme but couldn't be bothered to rip the old theme out first, so the first dark ride portion still had dog statues and stuff and then every few meters someone had just glued a poster of a Hatsune Miku character to the wall. Even Six Flags rips out (most of) the old theming before putting in new ones, lol. Indoor spiral lift was cool though; idk if I'd ever seen one before. They had a life-sized statue at the exit and that was probably the highest effort part of the whole thing.Lipovitan Rocket LunaMostly indoor suspended family coaster, though there was a bit where you swoop outside before ducking back in, which looks very nice from the outside. The theming was much higher effort here. Fun ride.People would clap every time this happened Nagashima Spa LandThis park also isn't by a train station. There's a local bus you can take from Kuwana station or you can take a highway bus from Nagoya, though the latter got stuck in traffic for so long I missed park open by over 30 minutes. I took the local bus and train back that night.Fast pass vending machines only take cash. I made the mistake of only bringing 4000 yen (a bit under $40) so at 1000 yen (a bit under $10) per fast pass, I only got to skip 4 lines and had to wait for subsequent rerides on Hakugei. The park hotel does not appear to allow single occupancy in their rooms (Japanese hotels charge for number of people in a room unlike many US hotels), which was a problem as I was travelling alone at this point of the trip. I ended up staying somewhere else. The Manta clone and Schwarzkopf looper were closed the day I visited. HakugeiFerris wheel has good viewsIt's a big RMC. You already know it's elite. The airtime is top notch, the drop is incredible even in rows 3 and 10 where I got stuck, the inversions are whippy - it's just a great ride. Does kind of just feel like a normal RMC but bigger though, which is similar to how I feel about SteVe. The trains make a rather concerning loud rattling noise in some valleys, louder than I've heard on any other RMC hybrid; idk if that means anything. Ultra TwisterMarcel Vos in shamblesI finally got to ride the ride that's so legendary for being so bad in RCT. It was fine; with a bit of defensive riding it wasn't painful at all, since the whole coaster being in one plane meant there was limited room to make bad transitions. And it was a walk on. Steel Dragon 2000Didn't remember this was a giga until after I got offLongest steel coaster in the world. A Morgan giga, running B&M trains with bizzare 2-across seating that isn't staggered (unlike B&M Hypers). It doesn't track as smoothly as a B&M through the earlier half, but that airtime finale was amazing. Not quite as violent as Magnum's but pretty close and much longer (there's what, like 6 or 7 hills? I lost count), and with the B&M clamshell it's a lot more pleasant. That said, imagine putting shinguards on a B&M clamshell. Why would anyone do that? CorkscrewStandard Arrow corkscrew.Shuttle LoopSchwarzkopf shuttle loop. Nice that it's sticking around for now with Montezooma changing.Jet CoasterKiddie ride I rode after lunch. Really thought the part at water level was going to be a splash down but nope.Wild MouseStandard Mack rides compact wild mouse.ArashiImagine running only one side of a free-spin with a posted 1 hour wait. They really were only using one side of the station and leaving the other side empty. That said, this was by far the most flips I'd ever gotten on a free spin (4 with almost a 5th). Universal Studios JapanWe arrived 40 minutes before park open and the rides were already running with people on them. People aren't kidding when they say this park opens long before the posted opening time.Fast passes need to be purchased in advance as they will sell out. They come in bundles instead of being per ride. I got the one with Flying Dinosaur to avoid a posted 4 hour wait, though I will say of all the parks in Japan, Universal inflated their posted waits the most by far (often a factor of 2 or even 3). I'm not really covering non-coaster rides but my friends loved MarioKart ride (which apparently also just opened in LA). That said I personally find the field of view on the visors to be too small to convincingly sell the effect; it feels like less than a third of your vision is actually covered, and since the ride relies on speed lines and moving scenery in the visors to sell the racing feel (since the cars are moving very slowly in real life), I find the effect doesn't really work that well. You need timed entry passes to the Nintendo area (and sometimes the Harry Potter area too) if you don't buy a Fast Pass that includes it already. Get to the park early to get them before they're all gone. Park employees spoke English no problem here, just like Disney. Ops were good too. The park just gets too many guests. Food was not as cheap as Disney though. Single rider lines are much longer than they were at Disney; I'm told Disney attracts more families who want to stick together, while Universal has more teens willing to split up for a shorter wait. Idk if that's true but whatever the reason, the single rider line was frequently only 10 to 20 minutes shorter than the standby line. Hollywood DreamAn otherwise fun B&M Hyper ruined by the speakers right next to your ears blasting music at eardrum shattering volumes. Probably would've been a fun ride if I had brought earplugs with me. And it wasn't just me; the random person sitting next to me was plugging her ears too through the whole ride.Never seen a B&M Hyper with a dual load station before though; that's how you know the ops here are decent (slowed by having people cross the train to put stuff in bins before metal detecting on the platform itself, but with a dual load station it's parallelized). Flying DinosaurBeautiful lake views from the rideDisclaimer: I don't love intensity that much. I find the pretzel loops on most B&M flyers to be my least favorite part. So Flying Dinosaur was whatever for me. It's a very intense B&M flyer for sure, but I enjoy these rides more for the view and the feeling of flight than the chest crushing Gs through the loops, so this one wasn't for me. I'm sure intensity buffs will love it though. Doraemon XR Ride: Nobita's Sky UtopiaAn indoor spinning Mack family coaster, except they had turned off the spinning and were only using the two forward facing seats per car to accomodate the VR experience. It seems like it's been a VR ride for a while; if so, I have to wonder why Universal doesn't just buy forward facing trains for this. Would improve operations immensely to actually have the full coaster's capacity. A posted 4 hour wait in both the standby and single rider line for a family coaster on a nonholiday Tuesday is insane. Luckily the single rider line only took 90 minutes, far less than what's posted.Notice the empty rear-facing seats This was actually my first time on a VR coaster (I had dropped out of the enthusiast community right before the VR craze went around) and the experience was pretty fun for what it is; feels like a screen ride except with some actual forces since you are still on a coaster. Your plane dives in VR and you actually feel a drop. It was fun. Wouldn't wait 4 hours for it. Flight of the HippogriffHaven't ridden the one in Orlando but I suspect this one is a clone. Only got on it because every other line had closed near the end of the day. And those were the coasters I rode. Let me know if you have any questions; I can try to answer, though I will confess I am no expert on the country or culture of Japan. For all the annoyances, there are some great coasters in Japan so if you're fortunate enough to be able to visit, I would. Oh and the rest of the country is cool too. |
2023.03.20 23:38 the_sweetest_peach Can we talk about shampoo?
I’ve been using Tresemme Botanique since starting the CGM and switching to the WGM, but it seems like the Walmarts near me are phasing it out.
Target’s also a decent ways away, so I hardly ever go there.
I also want to add that Not Your Mother’s did not impress me (shampoo or conditioner), and I’m not even going to talk about what the styling products did to my hair. (It was tragic.)
I have access to Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, Ulta, and sometimes Amazon.
What shampoos are we liking?
Hair type: 2B, fine, medium density, medium porosity.

2023.03.20 23:38 lavendercitrus one of my favs: S1: E15 “Josh Has No Idea Where I Am!”
so i’ve rewatched this whole show since i first finished it, but there are certain episodes i find myself rewatching pretty often. this is one of them. absolutely one of my top 3 episodes.
i mean, crushing on greg is definitely a big part of it, but it’s just the whole thing — “dream ghost” bangs, the scene with rebecca’s parents… my absolute favorite part is of course them reuniting with her once she gets back. it touches me every time.
i find myself thinking a lot about greg’s phone, especially. it feels like such a genuine expression of care and it makes me nearly tear up. anyone else feel like this?

2023.03.20 23:37 Adelaide101 Do narcs makeup one sided rules, threaten violence, them love bomb?
Please dont mind any spelling errors as this is a bit of a rant but I need advice. Live with a fam raised by narcs. This is the drama unfolding.
Anyone experience distancing a narc they live with? I eventually stopped talking to them after I realized anytime I held them accountable I'm attacked, insulted, demeaned, called crazy/schiz and then expected to be fine the next day and act like nothing happened. I told them no this time and now I'm apparently "schizophrenic '. They began ignoring me, shit talking about me with other sibs (whom via narc parent abuse can't form independent ideas too well). Basically im to apologise if this is to end. I have younger sibs who clearly side with the narc as well. They literally will be tense and uncomfortable with me after these arguments but still talk with the narcs. They will NEVER question these folks are narcs. Why would they? The narcs endorse their destructive behavior. They actually will be angry at me instead.
I noticed anytime I confront the narcs they try to paint it as me looking for a fight. A basic example. Today i was using a peanut jar (bought for everyone to eat by one narc) to weigh something down I was gluing. They moved it and when I told them not to so in using it as a weight they made excuses until they flat out said I couldn't use it. Out of kindness I even sleep on the floor as our original arrangement didn't fit each of us. Since distancing myself they pretend the beds are "theirs" and throw my stuff if I leave it there (although it it technically my bed too). Simply put, they're now making random rules that apply to ONLY me since I pushed them away. Suttle enough they make a "reasonable" excuse and cover their but to the younger ones hut clear enough that theyre attempting to cornecontroll me.
I confronted this and they blew up. Started claiming I was a narc, jealous, angry and need to calm down, etc. Even a younger sib whose their minon now joins in. They were laughing, smiling, talking over me the whole time (like they were trying to wash my voice out) and just spilling past convos etc. One even threatens violence with vague phrases like "you'll see what will happen" then claim she never was going to be violent.
After every fight they makes sure to do their "love-bomb" routine. They go to every person in the house (coincidentally those not 100% always for them whom im somewhat close to) to "check if their okay" and try to get them "happy". They do this routinely. Every morning they force hugs, say new terms of endearment they never used before (calling adults baby but not men), doing things for these people they havent done before,all while acting motherly. Especially after I distanced myself. They make sure to get the person to engage with them to the point it looks like a psychological experiment where they are trying to condition these people to only associate them with good. They can flat out rage at me then flip to nicey nice to these people.
My concern is they prevent me from talking to these people after arguments. Flat out saying I can't, they need to "protect them", reminding those people they can leave whenever they want all in a nicey tone. They dispatch this one sib whose their minion now, to "check on them" by making random jokes etc as well. I haven't read of narcs triangulation + lovebombing at the same time. It's soo bad now it seems these narcs are trying do what they will with my stuff, fight me when I call them out, then do an "image cleanup" to the other ones whom they think aren't 100% their minion yet. I can only imahine what will unfold if everyone was on their side. It's so twisted.....all because I didn't speak with them for a while.
This isn't regular well being checkups family would do. It's intentional and very political. These same people flat out told a nearly legal teen the other day not to bake more because "your sister will eat it all" in the most preschool teacher voice ever while laughing. That sis (the minion) played along like she was a glutinous monster. She isnt. Reality, they wanted him to leave the kitchen so they can use the living room. Their incapable of being honest with these people they love bomb and flat out treat them like toddlers. Always lying, dispatching someone to make them "happy" etc.
I just can't take this...what the hell is going on? I wish I can explain this in a more concise way but it's difficult. More so that we literally left a narc parent and live on our own. Now the narcs black sheep is being a narc with her validating/enabling narc bud sis and their newly groomed young sib. Any insight and advice would be great. Moving isn't an option.

2023.03.20 23:36 PTLounge Things that your PT course doesn’t teach you but are vital to your success as a PT
Mouthy title but aiming to do what it says in the title.
Here are some things I wish I knew or learned about sooner in my PT career that my course didn’t teach me:
• Business Skills - Your personal trainer course might have taught you how to create exercise programs and work with clients, but it probably didn't teach you how to run a business. As a personal trainer, you're not just a fitness expert, you're also a business owner. You need to understand how to market your services, create a pricing strategy, and manage your finances.
• Marketing - you can’t have a consistently strong business without marketing yourself to generate new leads that can become potential clients.
• Sales - some courses cover it but usually no where near the amount you need to be successful. Whilst it might be considered a dirty word, in essence all your trying to do is match your services to the needs of your potential client and getting them to paint an image in their head as to how you can get them their results.
• Networking - “your network is your net worth”, cringe but kinda true. The more people that know you then the larger reach your business generally has and that’ll help massively when it comes to referrals.
• Income does not equal salary - just because you’re bringing in $X doesn’t mean that’s always gonna be your salary. You should treat the income you have as a PT the same as a business does with theirs. E.g. pay yourself a salary out of the income but make sure you’re able to pay business costs out of your income too; rent, marketing costs, software, etc. Think of what you make in terms of profit and loss rather than a salary.
• Your knowledge from your course is only a guide - things rarely workout the same way that you learn on your course. For example, you learn specific cues to use to teach a squat but when it comes to the real world you’re going to have to learn a bunch more and be ready to have multiple ways to teach a squat. Not everyone will automatically get how to do a squat using the cues you originally learned.
Hope this helps for now and I’d love to hear from other experienced PTs too.

For example, you learn specific cues to use to teach a squat but when it comes to the real world you’re going to have to learn a bunch more and be ready to have multiple ways to teach a squat. Not everyone will automatically get how to do a squat using the cues you originally learned.
Hope this helps for now and I’d love to hear from other experienced PTs too.
2023.03.20 23:36 FellD0wn Spiralling
I can feel that I'm getting worse. It's coming up on a year since the suicide attempt that nearly resulted me being sectioned (hospitalised). I think I'm still traumatised by the brutality of the so-called "help" I received afterwards. Essentially, I received threats instead of care, because the NHS is fucked and they can't provide for me.
I can't say I feel a lot better a year on. Things might be different, sure. I have a bit more of a support network - at uni I'm near to my friends, and not that far away from my family, and I have a councillor. But I feel so isolated and lonely and my baseline suicidal thoughts are becoming more intense.
One of my close friends was pretty seriously suicidal a few weeks ago, and whilst I'm glad he opened up to me about it, it's sent me off on my own downward trajectory. I feel like I'm spiralling, that I'm not able to catch up with any of the work that I need to do, because everything takes so much mental effort.
I felt unwell over the weekend, which meant that I wanted to rest and recuperate. Instead, I feel like shit because I haven't done any of the work that I need to do. I've basically just procrastinated 4 days away being ill, and I've only got until Friday to finish off this assignment that I've only done about 40% of. It shouldn't be that difficult. but I can't focus on anything.
Everything feels meaningless, and even though I **care**, it feels like it doesn't matter. My motivation is just completely shot. I'm definitely getting more depressed by the day, and I'm kinda a bit scared that it'll all bubble to the surface quickly and I'll try to kill myself again.
I've never been the planning type. Well, that's not strictly true. I have mentally ruled out any violent or brutal methods, especially those involving others (walking in front of a lorry, train etc), because I don't want whoever finds me (or kills me) to be unnecessarily traumatised. That leaves me with very few methods, but still enough that I've attempted several times before.
I'm not really sure what I hope to achieve by writing this message, I guess I just needed to read it back - the words on the screen maybe mean more than just thoughts? I don't know. All I do know is I'm getting more depressed, and nothing normal seems to be stopping it.

2023.03.20 23:35 That_Sketchy_Guy Could disruptor mid with meteor hammer be viable?
I've been thinking about disruptor mid for a bit now, reasoning that he scales really well into the midgame with levels. Maxing q gives a lot of damage, and you can probably expect to kill or gank at 6. Going items like veil, blink, eblade, agha all sounded good to keep running around the map killing enemies. But there was always something missing as the hero is useless against bkb until you get aghs, but rushing aghs doesn't help your momentum nearly as much as either items. Then it hit me -- meteor hammer. Now you can push towers which wasn't possible before and really take advantage of that early pressure. Plus it fits perfectly into his kit with glimpse and kinetic field. Am I missing something or does this sound viable?

2023.03.20 23:35 Queer_and_Confused1 My partner’s boss makes my skin crawl.
My (f19) partner (m20, call him Tyler) works at a well known Mexican fast food franchise. Has been working there since april last year and got promoted to a manager in January. I give him rides to work every day and he tells me a lot that goes on at his job. Since being promoted he has been forced to work the worst and longest shifts (closing) with very little staffing. I sometimes visit my partner to bring him food. This is where the problem started 6 or so months ago when I stopped by and brought Tyler Starbucks and was talking to him for a few minutes in the hallway. Tyler’s boss (f30s, call her Casey) comes over and gives me the most ominous dagger eyes I have seen in my life. Tells him there’s no time for chit chat to get back to work. Nearly grabs his arm and pulls him back into the kitchen.
Tyler tells me that everyone at work knows about me and how pretty, cool, and amazing I am. I am acquainted with some in the restaurant including a manager. The occasional “hey, what’s up OP!” when I pick him up. And Casey (the GM) is very well liked and considered to be a cool boss that treats everyone like family. The relationship she has with these young adult employees is almost like she thinks she is in her 20s. However, Casey has made it very clear through nasty looks and refusing to speak to me ever (literally, I speak directly to her and she walks away) that she dislikes me. Tyler is aware that she dislikes me.
Fast forward, Tyler is getting promoted to a manager, and I notice Casey is constantly texting him which I expected since he has to learn A LOT and do certification and training. (Ex. I believe in you!! :) 🫶🏼” it struck me a little odd that she acts so affectionate toward him and other employees. I then found out that she frequently hugs employees. Then found out she has hugged Tyler without his consent. Casey also started constantly just gifting her vapes to Tyler like once a week he would bring one home from her. At that point I was kinda freaked out and afraid Casey is a creep. I just get this sick to my stomach feeling. I was groomed, manipulated, and assaulted by a boss before and I started becoming suspicious of Casey’s intentions. She very possibly could mean well and I’m overthinking. But it’s this gut feeling.
A few weeks ago I confronted Tyler’s best friend (m20, call him Mason) after him blatantly flirting with me for a long time and then sending me a music album about being in love with someone who loves someone else. I kept this from Tyler in an attempt to protect him and I know that is very wrong and I should have came to him first. But I was starting to question if I had a crush on Mason, but ruled that possibility out after talking to him and realizing I just enjoy having things in common with him that I don’t have in common with Tyler. He denied having feelings for me, so I considered it settled. Win for everyone. 2 days later after dropping Tyler off at work Mason shows up to his job and audibly tells Tyler that I told him I’ve had feelings for him the whole time. Mason told rest of the friend group and one friend piped up that i have a crush on him as well (I spoke to this man once asking about his tattoo) Mason drives Tyler to our house where I am and Tyler confronts me. I explain what actually happened, apologizing, Tyler goes back and gets time to think. Comes home later, we talk more, he forgives me. Then tells me his entire friend group does not want to be near me again. That Casey heard everything, texted him that she was going to “fuck me up” and offered to leave the workplace to come with him and confront me at our house.
Frequently since then Casey has been urging Tyler that he can do better than me. Today they had a manager meeting and I noticed Casey sitting in her car staring directly at me as I am pulling my car out of the parking lot with Tyler to go home. She is freaky and I actually get the feeling she wants me out of the picture. Why? I don’t know but it seems as though she wants to get closer to my partner, her employee, and I am in the way
TL;DR: my partners boss threatened to hurt me and I am afraid she is trying to groom him

2023.03.20 23:35 Curious_Case_9669 NSCAD ID found.
Hi,
I was out walking on near the spring gardens and I found a NSCAD ID with a Halifax Upass sticker on it. First Name Harper.
Let me know if your named Harper and if your missing it, I'll need your day of birth and your student identification number before I meet with you.
I'm only in town for a day, so I'll drop it off at the NSCAD office tomorrow afternoon.

2023.03.20 23:35 Breakyourniconiconii He took my phone and took pictures of himself
Literally the title. I haven’t spoken to him since January and I was mostly over him after finding out he has (had? Idk if they’re still together) a gf. But we talked today.
We used to have Spanish class together where we had this caddy thing to put our phones in. I’m too short to reach where mine was supposed to go so I asked him to grab it as he’s tall. He was gonna take pictures on my phone but I snatched it first without thinking because I didn’t want him going through my stuff, forgetting I had a password. I really regretted not letting him do it afterward.
So fast forward to now, he was talking to his friend who sits near me. His friend and I get along and we used to be pretty close friends so we still talk sometimes. I ended up talking with my crush and his friend. Idk where his friend went but he ended up disappearing leaving my crush to talk with me and my friend.
I say my phone on my desk and I was talking to my friend and went to grab my phone and he went to grab it too. Later I sat my phone down again and I let him take it (again, password, so I wasn’t worried) and he said we had the same kinda phone so it ain’t like he thought it was his (also my phone case says my first and last name on it)
My friend gave me a look (she doesn’t know I like him) and I just shrugged and said “it’s not like he knows my password” so me, her, her friends, and my crush continued the convo as my crush took pictures of himself on my phone.
I thought he was just taking a bunch of pictures of the desk to annoy me but I checked my phone at lunch after that class and saw a bunch of pictures of him.
I just had to say sum to someone because I’ve had a crush on him for months and recently got over him. I actually started liking a different guy. But this interaction with him today made me like him again.
I wanna get over him for good as I’m not sure wether or not he’s still with his gf and I’d never wanna interfere with that. His gf is super nice and I’d never do that to anyone no matter if I hated them or not.
But, if he’s single, what should I do? Any tips on that or how to get over him ?

2023.03.20 23:34 Mental_Mausoleum I can't stop feeling used by her
I've had no-one for so long. I've lived without even the most basic emotional intimacy for practically all of my life. She was the first person who nearly made me feel accepted.
Yet the more I think about it, and maybe I've been thinking about it too much, I can't escape the notion that I was always a little disposable to her. Now maybe she didn't even realise that herself, but I cannot get past the sense that she was always just trying to distract herself from an already broken heart, instinctively knowing on some level that this thing with me wasn't necessarily going anywhere. And then once she had healed, she dropped me like it was nothing because she was never in as deep as I was.
No-one else has ever made me cry. No-one else has made me taste what being human feels like as she did. It hurts so much. To live in total silence, then briefly hear the faint song, imagining that it's coming closer and closer, only for it to be totally snuffed out without warning. As if there was never anything there in the first place.

Hey all! I've got 2 cats and a Bull mix dog. I'd like to take them to a locally owned business, preferably located somewhat near me (Greece).
Does anyone have any experience with a local, reasonably priced groomer? I'd love to gather this community's recommendations. Thank you!

2023.03.20 23:34 WrittenOutput 35 [M4F] EST/absolutely anywhere - Let's do shadow work together.
The nine of cups shot out of my hand. That happened to you too, didn't it? It probably didn't play out exactly like what I'm imagining. I feel like I'm right, though. I want to be right. More than usual. Usually I just need to be right because I'm doomed if I'm wrong. I know you may not be the one. But I know you might be. I'm pretty sure you feel the same way. Why aren't you smiling? Why haven't you put your hand out for me to kiss? Let's do this. My thumb goes on the outside. This is how I prefer to hold hands. Not that it matters.
Was I humble enough? You said money doesn't matter. Tiger agrees. He has no use for money. He doesn't waste his time thinking about it. I count it for him. Shred it up and line his cage with it. It's what he wants me to do. I'm not allowed to keep any of the money. Neither are you. It's just what he wants me to do, Darling. Maybe I can take a few for myself tomorrow. I shouldn't, though. He'll be so angry. It will disappoint Tiger. You don't seem to mind. I probably shouldn't either. You know best, right? Lucky me. The luckiest clown in the world.
My name is Lucas Outman and I'm a bit of a pothead. That's how he introduced himself to me. He was fired out of a cannon at the age of seventeen. His big sister, Bisque Bitterling, was The Ringmaster's wife-to-be. Darling, you already know this story. You were there. You watched the whole thing happen right before your eyes. I don't mind talking about it. Tiger let me keep my tongue and most of my mouth. I can talk just fine. Can't write so well as I used to what with all the missing fingers. You trained the seals, Darling. That was your job title, anyway. I never got you anywhere near the ocean. I let you down.
Remember, you told me I could trust you. But it has to go the way I want it to. It can't be anything else. I won't apologize for it. The Family View ran things. Don, Emma Lee, sweet Olive. It was kind of all a big joke to them. It would be rude to ask me what my name is now. Were any of The Beatles gay? I had an inkling. Doesn't matter. They were woke as fuck, though. Who's going to drive me to the hospital when it happens? This is the kind of thing I'm worried about lately. It's perfectly normal. Just not very pleasant. It's not much fun at all to worry. What is life without it, though? Who am I?
Luke loved his flapjacks. Any kind of breakfast was the trick for him. He gave himself permission to eat anything he wanted. He led the group. It didn't matter where you were from, really. It was like having a father for a bunch of kids who grew up on their own. I like how it tastes, talking about this with you again. Gone are the days.
