Been about 10 years since I took any kind of medication, made an appt to see a doctor next week as life is becoming unmanageable. I have anxiety every day of my life and it's hell. My question is, what has worked best for you? There's so many antidepressants out there, I want one with minimum side effects, especially not weigh gain

So, I got scammed on FB marketplace. I'm a moron for not investigating the profile more, etc etc. Let's skip all that. Anyway, here's what I have:

• They used their personal account
• I have their potential employer (shared many posts of a small business)
• His girlfriend
• Screenshot of their entire friends list
• Potential family members (~150 friends, 3 share their surname)

What's the best way of getting some revenge? I'm tempted to chuck all of them into a group chat and show them all the messages or contacting their employer and showing them
Does anyone have any other cynical ideas?

My laptop broke a couple weeks ago and I usually have never had problems with dell support the pro support takes pretty good care of me when I call them. However Ive been having problems with the exchange services.
​
They first offered an XPS 13 plus 9320 (I originally had a Inspiron 15 2n1 7506). Im not a big fan of small laptops so I asked if they had a 15.6 inch like my original laptop. They then send me an email asking to approve an Inspiron 16 2n1 7620 which the 15 had already barely fit in my bags so this would definitely not fit. I told them that I would like to go with the XPS since I wouldn't mind having a smaller laptop and its been 2 weeks. Im a college student with finals in a month so I really need a laptop for classes however I have a PC so I can survive for now. They then told me that it was a miscommunication mistake and they couldnt provide me the XPS because they cant exchange an XPS for an Inspiron.
​
After sending the second recommendation they emailed me multiple times within 24 hours to confirm it. They called me at 10 am during an online exam and I told them id look at it later as I'm busy. I then later send an email about going with the first recommendation (the XPS) first. They then email me multiple times and try to call me 3 times during the interview (not a job interview but interviewing a professor where I was using my phone to look at my questions thats why I had it on, nonetheless it was rude) in which I immediately rejected each one. They called me 3 times within 10 minutes which I deem excessive. If someone rejects a call that means they're busy dont call multiple times. When I finally called back they only said a simple sorry and then told me they cant give me the XPS and gave me all these excuses about miscommunication, it was not for me, they cant do that and so on.
​
I finally told them that the screen is too big and I just need a 15.6 inch inspiron like my old one with the same specs or find a better replacement. Attached is what they were offering for replacements. I feel dumb for not approving the XPS 13 plus in the first place. Should I just take the 16 or whatever they give me. I dont know if im in the wrong here or if dell is. Im upset about the multiple calls and emails but could they have rejected my approval for the XPS if I approved it in the first place? They offered it so I feel like they should honor that?

My girlfriend and I have just moved into our first apartment. It's great, but it's on the 2nd floor(top floor).. The walls are very thick and I've never heard a peep from my downstairs neighbors... but I feel horrible
Every now again I'll do something like put a desk together, vacuum, or drop something and I instantly feel bad... Lately our smoke alarms have been going off for the slightest thing. Nobody has mentioned it , but everytime it goes off I think someone will be banging at my door. It just happend an hour ago at 11pm, on a Thursday night... I know people work in the morning and I'd hate to be "that" neighbor. All I did was try to bring my food into my office and I guess the smoke from the hotpocket was enough to set them off... I tried my best to be quick about turning them off but I'm only 5'7 and the ceiling is 7ft so it took a minute...
As I waited there, listening for a bang at the door or angry footsteps walk down the hallway, I realize that nothing actually happend but they have to hear all of that right ?? Needed to vent I guess, thanks for reading!

This book has put me off any Rebecca Serle books ever. I truly don’t care how good one claims another of her books to be I will not be reading it.
Firstly, the first few chapters of this book are interesting enough to make you want to continue some more. But after that it’s BORING BORING BORING throughout the middle. By then end of this book I was absolutely disgusted and felt like a fool for ever wasting my valuable time to read it.
Dannie Kohan. You are a nasty human being. A terrible friend and all around just an ungrateful little shit. I mean the same day your BEST FRIEND dies of cancer you hook up with the guy she was engaged to all because of some fucking dreams. What you needed was a sleep therapist. All you do is complain about your fiancé who is a sweetheart and be two faces to your friends. She literally fucked her friends man before the body was even cold and blamed it on grief like no!! that’s jealous nasty nasty jealousy.
Bella literally was so supportive and was even building a home for you in her last days with cancer and rooting on your relationship. Meanwhile your over here hitting on her fiancé while she’s DYING and still claiming to be her best friend. BFFR now.
The way this story unraveled was absolute nonsense. I’ve concluded that the purpose of this book was to provide high end restaurants recs in NYC.

(You can also find this story and the previous parts here.)
The months of October and November came and went as if they were words in a passing conversation.
Irving and Enterprise celebrated Halloween together. They watched some poorly made horror movies and ate candy. They knew that Malcolm and Oklahoma were busy giving candy to the destroyers for trick-or-treating.
Malcolm had a black covering on with glow sticks on him. He claimed he was going as a wireframe 3D Model. Oklahoma dressed as a pirate, with an eye patch over her eye and a pirate’s hat.
Soon it was November, and with it came Thanksgiving. Irving and Enterprise decided they would host it. They invited Samuel, New Jersey, Malcolm, Oklahoma, Warren, and Arizona.
The group was thankful that they could be together for Thanksgiving. They were excited about Irving and Enterprise’s wedding and the birth of Malcolm and Oklahoma’s child.
Soon, December came around, and with it, Christmas.
Irving and Enterprise were busy decorating their dorm for Christmas. She always tried to have a Christmas tree up in her room.
Irving received a call from Malcolm.
“Hey Mal. What’s up, man?”
“Hey Irving, do you guys want us to host Christmas? Oklahoma’s making cookies and we would love to have dinner. We already invited Warren, Arizona, Samuel, and New Jersey.”
“Yeah, do that. Enterprise and I will be there.”
“Alright. See you guys soon.”
Irving turned to look at Enterprise. His fiancée was wearing a Christmas outfit. Irving was wearing a green Christmas sweater with Grim wearing a Santa hat on it.
“Malcolm and Oklahoma are hosting Christmas this year. You going?”
Enterprise nodded her head, and they made their way outside.
It was snowing. The shipgirls were playing in the snow. Snowballs hit Irving and Enterprise. Irving turned around. They saw Archerfish and Fletcher throwing snowballs.
Irving, always willing to have a bit of fun, threw some as well, with Enterprise joining him. Irving made a snowball.
“Batter up!”
Irving threw the snowball. It hit Archerfish. Soon, the four threw snowballs at each other.
After a few minutes of throwing snowballs. Irving and Enterprise realized they were running late for Malcolm and Oklahoma’s Christmas party. The snowball fight had covered their coats in snow.
“Sorry, but we don’t want to run late for a party. See you guys later!”
As they were walking, Enterprise stopped. She blushed as she realized they forgot something important.
“Irving, we forgot the presents.”
Irving facepalmed. He realized he and Enterprise were in such a hurry to get to Malcolm and Oklahoma’s Christmas party; they forgot the presents.
The couple walked back to their room and got the presents. They walked to Malcolm and Oklahoma’s dorm, presents in tow.
Malcolm opened the door and saw Irving and Enterprise.
“Irving! Enterprise! We’re so glad you could make it!”
Oklahoma looked at both Irving and Enterprise and saw they were both covered in snow. Her belly had become rounder, as she was six months pregnant.
“How did that snow get on you?”
Irving smiled.
“Impromptu snowball fight. We got ambushed.”
Oklahoma sighed and shook her head.
“At least make sure your coats are not on my carpet. They were already a pain to clean without being pregnant.”
Irving and Enterprise took off their coats to hang them up on the coat rack in the hall.
Irving looked at the photos that Malcolm and Oklahoma took. There was a photo of Oklahoma on a horse, with Malcolm behind her. There was also a photo of Oklahoma in her wedding dress and Malcolm in his pink and greens. He knew that this must be their wedding photo. The last photo on the wall was a photo of Malcolm and Oklahoma on their honeymoon in the Dragon Empery. They were in front of a beautiful red building.
Oklahoma looked down at her belly. She was six months pregnant and was showing. Her back would often hurt, but Malcolm would always be near to help her out. She knew that she and Malcolm had a surprise for everyone at the party.
Oklahoma heard a knock on the door. She opened it and saw that it was her sister, Nevada.
“Ho! Ho! Ho! Sister!”
Oklahoma smiled. She knew that her sister always loved the Christmas season.
“Is it alright if I feel your belly?”
Oklahoma nodded. Her teeth clenched up as Nevada placed her hand on her belly. Nevada stopped.
“It’s alright. Your hand is just cold.”
Nevada nodded and put her hand on Oklahoma’s belly. She felt her baby kick against her hand.
“I suppose that this is baby’s first Christmas?”
Oklahoma nodded.
“I know you are excited to become an aunt in a few months.”
Nevada smiled as she made her way to the living room where Irving, Enterprise, and Malcolm were sitting.
Nevada smiled at Irving and Enterprise.
“Congrats on the proposal, you two. I know next year is going to be exciting!”
Irving and Enterprise smiled. They knew Nevada was excited about the two big events that would happen next year.
Nevada sat down on the couch to watch television with Irving, Malcolm, and Enterprise.
Malcolm got up.
“Hey Irving, can you watch the door? I have to help Oklahoma with the cooking.”
Irving nodded and got off the couch.
As soon as Irving reached the door, the doorbell rang.
Irving opened the door to see Warren and Arizona. Arizona was wearing an Arizona Cardinals sweatshirt. While Warren was wearing a Christmas sweater with a snowman on it.
“Hello you two, Merry Christmas!”
Warren and Arizona nodded and entered the room.
Irving continued his duty of being the doorman when he heard the doorbell ring again.
Irving opened the door to see Samuel and New Jersey. They were wearing matching red flannels.
“Glad to see you guys could make it.”
Samuel and New Jersey nodded in unison. Oklahoma came out of the kitchen with a tray full of cookies.
“Here you guys go! I hope you enjoy them!”
The group thanked her for the cookies and ate some of them. Samuel smiled.
“These cookies are excellent!”
Oklahoma joined the group and grabbed a couple of gingerbread men.
“Sorry. The baby wants some gingerbread men.”
The group watched an old Christmas special. Enterprise and Irving were lying in each other’s arms, as were Malcolm and Oklahoma, Warren and Arizona, and Samuel and New Jersey.
Enterprise turned to look at her fiancé. She whispered in his ear.
“You know, the stop-motion puppets used to scare me as a kid.”
Irving smiled.
“I’ve never seen this before. The animation is honestly impressive.”
Irving saw Malcolm and Oklahoma both had a hand on her belly. He saw they were smiling in each other’s arms.
The Christmas special was something that the base would play every year. It was York’s idea to play it for the base. It was an odd space opera Christmas special that felt like an acid trip after some time due to how much would just happen within a few minutes.
Soon, nighttime fell. Oklahoma looked at the group.
“You guys want to open the presents?”
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Malcolm got up from the sofa.
“I’ll get it!”
Malcolm opened the door.
“Commander?!”
The Commander took off his hat and nodded.
“Yes. It’s me. I figured I would stop by to pay both Oklahoma and Enterprise a visit, as I know they will be very busy next year.”
Malcolm nodded as the Commander made his way to the rest of the group.
The Commander took a seat on the couch and put his presents under Oklahoma and Malcolm’s tree.
Soon, the group began opening the presents they had given each other.
Oklahoma got mostly gifts that she would need once her baby was born, including baby clothes and toys for the baby.
Nevada got a calendar for the new year with horses on it. She also got a box set of classic western movies.
Malcolm got some things for the baby, including a book about what to do as a first-time father.
The gift that Irving got her surprised Enterprise. It was a beautiful silver necklace.
“Thank you, honey. I love it.”
Warren and Arizona got some clothes. Arizona got a perfume that smelled like oranges while Warren got a cologne that smelled like blackberries.
Samuel got some clothes as well. He also got a new sweater that was purple with a crocodile on it.
New Jersey got some band t-shirts and a juicer.
“I know you like fruit juices, so I got you a dresser.”
New Jersey had given her a blender.
“I had a feeling you would want to make your own baby food, so I got you a blender.”
The Commander got a bottle of scotch from Irving.
“It would be perfect for all the toasts you’ll have to make next year, Commander.”
After they gave all the presents out, there was one present left.
It was in indigo wrapping paper and had “To Louie/Joey: From Mom and Dad:” written on the tag.
The mysterious name puzzled the group. Oklahoma smiled at the group.
“So, as all of you know, I’m having a baby in March. A while ago, Malcolm and I got the baby’s gender. We decided that if the baby was a boy, We would name him Louis, and nickname him Louie. If the baby was a girl, We would name her Josephine, and nickname her Joey.”
The group nodded. This was the name and gender reveal.
Malcolm addressed the group.
“Inside the present, there is a pacifier. If the pacifier is dark blue, it’s a boy. If the pacifier is bright pink, it’s a girl. Are you guys ready?”
The group nodded in unison. Oklahoma took off the bow.
Looking at each other, Malcolm and Oklahoma both took off the top of the box.
Oklahoma pulled out a pacifier.
It was dark blue.
The group clapped and cheered. Irving got up to hug Malcolm. Malcolm and Oklahoma were having a little Louie.
“If you guys want, you can also call him Lou.”
Oklahoma got up to embrace her husband as they kissed on the lips. New Jersey, thinking quickly, took a photo with her phone.
The Commander pulled out the two last gifts.
One was for Oklahoma and Malcolm, and the other was for Irving and Enterprise.
The Commander smiled.
“Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.”
Malcolm and Oklahoma were the first to open the gift. They smiled with joy.
Inside were two Christmas ornaments. One said “Our first Christmas” on it, with a man and woman hugging.
Oklahoma noticed the Commander must have had it custom-made for them, as it was her and Malcolm.
The second ornament said “Baby’s first Christmas” on it. They cooed at the ornament as it was technically Louis’s first Christmas.
Enterprise and Irving opened their gift.
Inside were two things. They were a letter in an envelope and a Christmas ornament.
The ornament looked like the one that Oklahoma and Malcolm got. Only it was Enterprise and Irving hugging with the words “Our First Christmas.” written on it.
Irving opened the letter. His jaw dropped.
Inside were two plane tickets with the date of early February written on them.
Enterprise read the letter.
“Dear Irving and Enterprise.”
“I heard that someone was getting married.”
“I also heard that someone always wanted to go on a honeymoon to the Sardinian Empire.”
“Inside are two first-class tickets to the Sardinian Empire.”
“Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and congratulations on your marriage. May it give you never-ending joy for years to come.”
“SKK”
The group cheered for Irving and Enterprise. The Commander had paid for the plane tickets for Irving and Enterprise’s honeymoon.
Irving and Enterprise hugged each other.
New Jersey, ever ready with her phone, took a photo of the loving couple.
Irving looked outside. A Blizzard had hit the base and had snowed them in. Oklahoma smiled.
“Don’t worry. You guys can crash here for the night until the blizzard lets up.”
Irving and Enterprise fell asleep next to each other on the couch.
This was one of the best Christmases that Irving and Enterprise ever had.

WHY DO PEOPLE SAY FF IS A WEEB SERIES ITS GOT SOME OF THE BEST STORIES AND MOST BAD ASS CHARACTERS IN GAMING ONLY GAME I WOULD CONSIDER IS 14 BUT THATS JUST FOR ALL THE WERIODS WHO PLAY THAT GAME

i am damn sure Kanye is with me...
Does anyone remember Method Man, or Black Sheep, Mobb Deep, Lynchmen (not ray ray, old school), the Luniz..... One love during no love = Tribe, De La, Pharcyde Coast Battles, Tupac, Biggie New white people speakig some wisdom :. Marlon Kraft*
This music spoke to our souls and still does. For example now that I'm older, "Dear Momma" hits me hard.
They spat wisdom, without regard for album sales.
I love Kanye for 2 songs in particular which define his and any lifespan. His first album song "Through the Wire" when he thought he may die without being heard, and his last album song: " Jesus is King" when he realized he is going to die and it doesn't matter whether he was heard. This is the cycle of life.
This dude gets a lot of shit because he was passionate and egocentric. Now he feels he's losing everything so he's fighting battles which aren't his to fight, because he is learning his space, for this time, right now, and also his non-space .. in this one life he has lived, hard and wants to live harder but for others. We shed ego if we age well.
The comments he makes that are a scrutinized are actually not racist, to educated people. He just expresses them poorly under pressure because he has been using beats to communicate for his entire life. Like the mask he wears. His words hidden.
I am a middle aged white, female sociologist by degree. Just look up the "Stanley Milgrim Experiment" and it will prove that while not easily digested, the things he says which piss off people are correct... with regard to human nature and instinct. He never claimed they were ideal.
If anyone knows Kanye please tag him. I don't give a shit about fame or money. I already made my way. He seems lost because he is human and should feel lost, but cannot find himself because everyone around him is a narcissist and he actually has a soul. As evidenced by his first and last songs.
Imagine being the best at something relatively superficial, then jumping head first (for reasons you can't even contemplate, intuition/subconscious/God) into a realm where you are small again. It is quite painful to go from a small pond to a big pond. This is why he wears masks. It's the path toward self actualization "Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs". It's the reason we like his music. He is afraid to lose.
He won't lose. Just give him a few breaths.

While this post may be a bit long, I appreciate it advance anyone who takes the time to read it for an anxious person like me, and even a quick comment goes a long way. Apologies in advance as many of these "concerns" are probably just over-thinking and just need a straight answer - - but this community has been very helpful in the past so figured I'd post here for y'all's honest replies.
First off, we are a young couple. Mid-20's and from downtown Chicago. We are both fairly attractive, good builds and not overweight. She is bi, and while I am not interested in sexual contact/penetration with another man, I'm not freaked out by the mere sight of another penis or seeing a man's naked body near mine, etc. As of now, we're looking to start experiencing other people/couples in the means of a FFM threesome, parallel play, or even just a hangout/drinking that involves some easy games that maybe involve kissing, etc.
My question/concern #1 has to do with our age. As a young and (at the risk of sounding egotistical) attractive couple, are we more "in demand"? Will it be hard to find young people/couples like us who are interested in these kinds of things...is that community of people more older? We would be probably most/only comfortable with other females/couples in their 20's, earlv 30's like us. Is that an immediate barrier that we drop?
2 is just, what's the best way to jump in? Other than having a conversation deciding yeah we wanna get freaky with another person (s), what's a good first concrete step to take? I often see people just saying "go to a sex club" with no other help offered, but idk, that seems pretty intense for newbies like us just trying to dip their toe and start to try something. Sometimes people suggest apps...but which fit our needs for a young couple in Chicago?
3 is just safety. Can meeting up with other people like this be dangerous for sex trafficking, etc.? Is there anything to know other than just general "be smart" ideas? Thanks in advance to any kind stranger who takes a second to respond. All the best.

Have one 6A flexvolt and a couple dying 3A 20v. Had two 6A but lost one in the divorce. So I need at least one more flexvolt battery. Currently running a 60v string trimmer and a various and ever expanding list of 20v hand tools for casual use. Want a chainsaw soon and probably a skillsaw next time I need one. So I need another battery but want to plan for the future.
1) two 9A or one 12A flexvolt? Was fine when I had 2 batteries but the 6A never felt like enough time trimming. I don’t really need 3 so if there’s a huge benefit going to 12A I’ll do it. 2) 60V skillsaw vs flexvolt skillsaw? I’m to understand these chew power so it kind of relates to question 1. Same with the question 3. 3) do they make a good chainsaw yet? Have they solved the oil leak problem? Going to get the pruner for now as I have hedges that need maintenance but really want a chainsaw. Just not the big bitch for $500 +
Thanks

I play on ps4 and for a couple months now have been unable to finish the game cause of the bug. The sound cuts and starts skipping and playing off sync. Jesse’s lips will move but sound come out till like ten seconds later and it just sounds like a car revving if I skip the cutscene. I have contacted the developers but nothing yet and it’s so irritating.

Hey I’m a new player and loving this game. Does seem very big and still getting a grasp of everything but I was hoping to get some direction from some long time players. I’d like to get some expansions or extra content and would like some opinions. There is a few on sale right now I have competed beyond light but there is a pack for forsaken, beyond light and witch queen, a pack for light fall and a pack that is just an armoury pack with 20+ exotic weapons. I have no idea what the best choice would be. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated as I can see myself really getting into this game. I love my shinobus vow skip grenade arc hunter build

This has been a pretty rough week and I (host) have been feeling very switchy. I have had times during the week where a few littles have been close to front which is not very normal as they usually go play or do something while I work. But they have been so close to front during the work day and then once there, they have been left to themselves and have been very scared and upset during my work day. Which is where the switchy feeling comes in. My work can be difficult for us as we work in mental health. This has left me feeling foggy, tired and on edge all at the same time. We have been seeing our therapist a couple times a week over the last couple of months due to being newly diagnosed, He is amazing and I know we are lucky to have him. Tonight while talking about what has been happening he asked who has been intentionally leaving the littles on their own to be scared and unattended. I did not have an answer...I keep feeling like someone is in the background but I can't see them. I have asked their name, who they are, what they do, can we do anything for them but they just kind of lurk and won't answer. Could this be a persecuter that we don't know about? I only say persecuter as what has been happening feels like the littles are being lured out and then abandoned. I am still learning about our system and world inside. I just also want to take care of everyone so no one is left scared like they have been this week. But with what has happend this week it makes our life feel like a tornado is happening. Has anyone had this experience? Any thoughts on what could be going on and how to help would be appreciated. Thanks for reading, I hope it made some kind of sense.

Throwaway account for obvious reasons. I used the first generic username that came up. “Classic feeling” lol. Yeah right. I also randomly selected my interests and subreddits and all that stuff like they make you do when u make a new account.
Youll see I’ve thought about this long and hard, and I think I want to share it here because I don’t want to really go and tell it to anybody else that ik. It’s not that I’m ashamed of what they’ll say. I just don’t want to hear there bullshit, or them giving me advice, or them telling me this or that or the tother. My husband knows and gives me shit about it all the time but that’s about it. I just brush it off.
Anyways, I never thought I would be writing this. I never before in my life expected feeling this way, let alone admit it to anyone, let alone write it down on reddit of all places for the world to see. But here I am, 36 years old, and regretting having children.
It wasn't always this way. When I first had my children, I was so happy. I loved them more than anything in the world, and I was willing to do anything for them. I was willing to sacrifice my own dreams for theirs. For a while, it felt wworth it.
I remember the day my first child was born. It was the happiest day of my life. I felt so much love for him and it was overwhelming. I never thought I could love someone so much.
And then something changed in me and I can't really explain it. It's like a switch flipped in my brain and suddenly I no longer care about my children. I no longer love them. I no longer feel anything for them at all.
I thought it was just a phase at first. I thought I was going through some kind of midlife crisis or something and that I would snap out of it eventually. But as time has has gone buy I’ve realized that it’s not a phase.
And the strangest part? I don't feel guilty about it. I don't feel ashamed. I don't feel like a bad person. I simply don't care. It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I'm free to do whatever I want.
And what I want is to watch my children suffer. I never hurt them deliberately, though. I don’t beat them or insult them or anything like that. I’m not abusive that way. I just like seeing them suffer. Either because something happened in one of their personal lives or simply because of the fact that they know I don’t give a fuck.
It's sick, I know. It's shitty. But there's something about it that gives me an incredible sense of euphoria. It's like a drug, and I'm addicted to it. The more my children realize and are hurt by my not giving a fuck, the happier I feel. I feel a really big joy when I’m watching them suffer.
I know I should feel guilty but I don't. I just feel...happy. And it's not just the happiness of not having to care for my children anymore. It's the happiness of watching them suffer. And it’s the happiness of having the happiness of watching them suffer. And the happiness of the happiness of the happiness and so on…
It's kinda like a work of art to me. Every time I see one of my kids suffer, it feels like I've completed a masterpiece that I put no effort into. Yes you heard that right and it’s fucked up, ik, but it's the truth. And I love it. It’s like a game to me. And I’m winning.
I don't care about the sacrifices I had to make along the way. I don't resent my children for having been born. I just feel joy in not loving them and seeing them suffer.
For me, this sensation is equal to the unfulfilled dreams I though I wanted but no. I think this is what I wanted all along.
And I know it's only going to get worse. I know that eventually my children will grow up and leave the house. My husband will too. And then what? Will I miss them? Will I regret what I've done?
Maybe but I don't think so. I don't think I'll ever regret this feeling. I don't think I'll ever feel guilty. I don't think I'll ever want to go back to the way things were before. I sound like a fucking sociopath I know.
And that's the scary part. Because I don't know where this will lead me. I don't know what kind of person I'll become. But I'm not afraid. I'm excited. I'm excited to see where this takes me, to see what kind of person I'll become.
And I know it won't be a “good” person. But I don't care. Because this feeling, this behavior, is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. And I'll keep going along with it, no matter what. At least as far as I can see rn.
In the end, I know it won't be a happy ending per say. At least in the normal sense. But I won't feel any shame whatsoever. I'll love it. And I'll love myself for loving it. And I’ll love loving myself for loving myself and so forth…like I said before.
I know I should “probably” seek help because my brain is probably all fucked up for some reason. I know this is not normal. But don’t suggest it cause I know I’m not going to do it. I just don’t fucking want to.
And that’s about it. Now that I’m done writing this, I think the only guilt I feel is admitting to it, BUT it also feels good. I’m sure a lot of people around me in my life have noticed. Some have even come talked to me about it. I just cut them off and say everything is fine in the nicest way possible and I’ve even convinced some of them.
Also, in case anybody asks… No, I’m not a druggie or a drunk or anything like that. I’m perfectly healthy and have a really good job that pays well, and I’m great at it. It’s just that I like being a bad mom.

I am taking a Cyr wheel workshop in a couple months. I'll be starting as a complete beginner, though I do have several years of dance background and a few years of aerial circus background. I still anticipate that I am going to be pretty bad at Cyr wheel to start, though.
In the meantime, since I have a couple months to prepare, I was wondering if anyone knows any conditioning exercises or balance exercises that I can work on now that would be specifically helpful to training Cyr? I don't have access to a Cyr wheel right now, and probably wouldn't even attempt to get on one without instruction anyway, but are there other things that I can be doing to get a feel for what my body will need to do in the wheel?

I have been looking to compile a list of "full featured" fonts for GMS2. What do I mean by this? One that recognizes the font as having:

• Regular
• Bold
• Italic
• Bold Italic

Look at the following image.
​
Note the 4 options available in style.
Yet, 90% of the time, the fonts I find have only "Regular" and "Bold" available.
​

1. You go to a font aggregator like programming fonts to find the one. (PS - This is the best site for finding monospace fonts I've come across!)
2. You install it.
3. Game Maker doesn't recognize all the features.
4. Frustration ensues.

--------------------------------------------------------

I'd love to start accumulating a list of fonts that meet the 4 style criteria. If you want to help, please either comment here with your recommendations, or..
Check out the Github repo where you can submit pull requests and add to the list!

A couple of months ago, my cat knocked my Air 2 off of my desk and broke the power button. The fingerprint scanner still worked, weirdly enough, but pressing the button didn’t do anything.
Tonight it went into restore mode for the first time ever. No previous signs of software problems. When I hooked it up to a laptop, it tried updating without success a few times. So I bit the bullet and opted for a full reset.
Now it’s stuck on a black screen with the white Apple and a loading bar underneath. The loading bar has been stuck on 75 percent for almost an hour. It’s also not showing up on my laptop anymore.
I’m worried about unplugging it or messing with anything but I’m not sure what else to do. I also can’t manually shut it off without a power button unless anyone here knows an alternative way to do it. What should my next steps be? Is this thing toast?

Wearing Barong Tagalog gives a sense of pride and confidence to the wearer. It is not just a simple piece of clothing that is worn for formal events, but it also serves as a strong symbol of Filipino culture and tradition. And with so many stylish barongs available in the market, there is definitely an assurance that you will be able to find one. But the question lies as to how you can look best when wearing a barong of your own?
Tips to Looking Best in Barong
When it comes to looking your best when you are wearing a barong, you need to understand what kind of look and aura you want to exude to people. As this formal shirt is made for certain occasions, you need to know how you can stand out while wearing one without being too much or too less. That said, we have listed some useful tips to guide you.

Find the Right Barong Style for You

Looking for the right barong for yourself may be a challenging thing to do since there are many options and you are unsure of what fits you. But finding a certain style of your own is simple and it begins with knowing your body type and your personal taste in general. Determine what type of barong that fits and flatters your physique. Choose a barong that is tapered to your shape and comfortable to wear so it does not look too fit or too loose on you.
​

Choose a Versatile Color and Fabric

Another way to look your best in a barong is choosing color or fabric that is right for your skin tone and the occasion that you are attending. So if you go for a colored barong, choose among neutrals, earthy, lightweight and versatile ones. Think also of the fabric that you want for your barong, as well. Some barongs are sheer and see-through while others are much thicker. Always consider the occasion when choosing based on these factors.

Go for Quality Barong Tagalog

Of course, you need to invest in a high quality Barong for you to ensure that it is durable, and comfortable to wear for the whole event. Purchasing a high quality barong is made easy when you know how to check for the right fabric, embroidery, finish and measurements. When you are able to do that, you can be sure that you have invested in the right formal wear.
Make Sure the Barong Fits You
A stylish barong will only look stylish if you are wearing it with the right fit. Make sure that the shirt hugs you enough so it perfectly accentuates your body features. If it is too tight, you may look a bit stuffy and there will not be enough room for you to move. And if it comes as too loose, it will be unflattering for you to look at. So look for a barong that is just right for you and would make you look attractive and your body proportionate.
