So I joined this sub when I went into NC with my ex.

• BU January
• She moved out February
• NC March

I had to live in that house I never wanted (she did and I wanted an easy life, it was in a gangland/crime ridden/mice ridden area) for 2 more months until I could afford my own place moved out 2.5 weeks before the tenancy ended...today.
The day she moved out through her heavy tears she told me she'd be back to help with the painting and the cleaning up. 13 days later all hell broke loose (story on my profile for the details) so I had to do all the painting. After finishing work late I'd journey back over to the old place paint some more, journey to my new home and sleep. The only time her dad contacted me was to say when he'd pick up her stuff, I went back to finish painting the next day and saw scratch marks all over the walls...(her dad was obviously carrying bed frames and heavy wardrobe parts but still...) I took one look and thought, even if it was an accident, the paint can is RIGHT THERE.
Anyway, so apart from dealing with some passive aggressive crap I got finished the house. I did leave some wiping down for her family to do as i knew they'd (not the ex obviously) have to go back to collect the keys and drive them round to the agency so they'd want to do a once over so both sideget their deposits back.I'm all about doing the right thing but come on...I was dumped so obviously I'm going to say you're still pulling your weight here love!
Anyway, when the BU happened her parents were fucking awesome with me but as time got closer to today I was getting reactions to messages rather than messages from her parents (they would initiate first of course) so I noticed a change in their behaviour towards me, then I saw the amount of scratches all over the walls and thought...am I reading into this? But today I know for sure. Not a message from them. Nothing to say, "keys have been picked up"
So I'm (I know family always protects family BUT DAMN I WAS FUCKED OVER SO BADLY I THE BU) certain now I'm being made the villain.
The city was covered in the sun today so I went on a pub crawl with a book and I smoked a massive cigar to toast my longest relationship and my worst ever BU, I ranged my brother, told him all the above (my brother and I have a blunt relationship, we love eachother but we don't mince our words so I can always trust him) and he said, "Mate I love you, but fuck her. We all liked her, she WAS great. But mate, she honestly has shown just how emotionally immature and childish she is in handling this BU. It's a fitting end to know you've been made to be the cunt in this too. Thing is though, when she's ready to process the BU, she'll look back on this and want to fix it and by that I mean have no bad blood, she wouldn't be fucking stupid to believe that she'd have a chance with you again. Now it's upto you how you handle it but remember. - She told you weekly for 4 years she'd never leave you that you were "her future" - She left you - She silenced you about talking about the BU - She left you in that hellhole - YOU HELPED HER FUCKING PACK - YOU EXPLAINED TO HER PARENTS THE REASONS WHY SHE DID WHAT SHE DID AND THEY WOULDN'T HEAR IT YET 4 FUCKING PSYCHOLOGISTS ALL SAID YOU WERE RIGHT - She has been actively avoiding you in public and once you even saw her take a picture of you whilst she was walking behind you on the street - YOU DID ALL THE FUCKING PAINTiNG AND 90% CLEANING - There were marks all over the walls when you went back one more time - And not even a 'got your keys, thanks' from them? FUCK THAT FAMILY.
He was right.
I laughed and said, "want a laugh? (Ex) memory has always been so bad she didn't even tell her dad what things to pick up. When I went to do one last wipe down there was a bunch on stuff still in there EXPENSIVE SHIT TOO her dad probably thinks it's mine 🤣" We had a giggle and he said, "you did everything right in this BU. REMEMBER THAT. Now fuck off, I'm getting a pint myself"
So my brother is right.
A fitting end. A bridge truly burnt. A BU completely designed by her has made me into the bad guy. Backed up by her family. Shown through her and her dad's actions.
Cap doth'd. Bow taken. Chapter closed.

To whomever is reading this, I hope you're doing well and find the right person for your needs. That person may not be me-- I'm certainly not for everyone, but for the right someone? I'd like to be the last dominant, the last person, you'll ever want or need.
I've been in the lifestyle as a dominant for 14 years now. I am open to meeting IRL if we click, but I neither expect nor require it. I am 5'10'', 200 lbs, white, with short blonde hair and a full beard. You may or may not be into my looks. For the right girl, that would be completely secondary, because what I am, most of all, is intelligent, intense, and insatiable.
That could come across as arrogance or baseless bragging. So let me dig into it a bit and explain more what I mean. I am extremely psychological and cerebral in my dominance. Because of my hyper intuition and driven focus to dig into my partner, the connections I form can be deep in a way most aren't accustomed to, and, potentially overbearing. It has been reported that it can feel like my thumbs are pressing down on them or that they're being understood or seen in ways that they've never been before. Of course, this isn't a universal thing, but if we click, you may just notice a similar sensation as well. For better, and at times, for worse.
The main thing to understand is that I will *always* want more of you. More of your thoughts. More of your feelings. Sure, yes, more of your body as well. But not in isolation. It's always tied into other aspects of you. The right submissive will crave that attention. Find comfort and security in it. Addiction and dependency. The wrong one might find it toxic or panic inducing.
I could, truly, go on and on for a while now, but that would just take all the fun out of communicating via chat and other platforms and seeing how we work inter personally. So let me itemize the last few things you need to know before deciding to reach out or not.
-I am fine with all experience levels. I love to teach, train, guide, and condition. -I am find with most body types. Out right big girls usually aren't my thing, but I love curvy, thick, petite, almost everything. What I really seek isn't something artificially apparent, anyways. -My main kinks include: Humiliation, degradation, orgasm control/denial/conditioning, general conditioning, hypnosis, TPE, voyeurism, impregnation/breeding, and light to medium pain play. -I do require the willingness to share pics and verify. Not immediately, no. But in general, if you cant trust and submit to me in such a way, even with some reasonable restrictions or time to build that trust, then this just isn't for you. And that's okay. -I offer three levels of submission. Casual, Standard, and Full. I'm happy to go over them more in detail one-on-one and they aren't *completely* fixed designations. The important thing is to find a dynamic where *we both* can be happy, healthy, and satisfied with the structure and actual happenings that occur. From the lightest to the heaviest of protocols-- and the more the better. -I"m a gamer, a sports enthusiast, a weeb, a poet, an amatuer philosopher(ugh, right?), and someone who loves making people laugh. I am a dominant. That's not all I am.
Ultimately, I believe that submission is a choice. An intimate and incredible gift that is irreplaceable and to be treasured. I certainly have my dark and debatably abusive sides. But just as much if not more so, I am a bright, caring, and supportive person. I want to find someone I can help be the best they can be, just for me. All for me. I hope that's you. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you for reading, and if you took the time to read it all, tell me three random things about you in your opening message to break the ice.

So I knew little about Xanax. Just that its helpful for anxiety and if you take enough, it puts you to sleep. I have a hard time sleeping in general. I especially have a hard time sleeping after rolling/MDMA.
I went to EDC and rolled all 3 days(Never will again.) Therefore, I took half a Xanax bar each night to put me to sleep. I also drank HEAVILY right before entering EDC.
Holy heck, by the end of the festival, I’ve felt depression like I’ve never felt before. Each day was gradually less enjoyable. Despite knowing that the artists and music were better each day. It was odd seeing my entire rave family love the whole thing, yet I hated my experience at EDC. Getting to the hotel by the end of the festival, I was uncontrollably crying and was stuck with the thoughts of suicide. It’s been 6 days and I still feel like I absolutely hate myself. I mean I never felt content with myself to begin with, but it’s horrible right now. I ended up making a ton of reckless decisions and my friends noticed. I bought a whole new car, cat, phone. All to try and make myself happier.
I thought this was just the result of rolling. I’ve felt post roll depression before, but not like this. I just now found out that stopping Xanax causes depression. This is the first time I’ve taken Xanax three days in a row. I’ve taken it once or twice every couple weeks the past few months. Same dose; Half bar
Is it HIGHLY likely that it’s just the Xanax making me depressed and I should wait it out? It was only three days in a row of dropping Xan… How long could the depression last? What should I do in the meantime?

I got out of a toxic relationship a couple of weeks ago which really damaged my self esteem. It is making me feel like there are other things I need to get in order before dating. BUT this person does seem really great and like we might be a good match.
The first date was an okay dinner but things picked up with drinking. Today we are going to a museum and then walking along the promenade there. I’m a little anxious about how it’s gonna go with us sober. I just think it helps with the nerves but I KNOW if I want to really decide if we are good together this sober date is necessary.
But then I get so anxious. I don’t have the greatest job (admin assistant but not paying a whole lot), I live with roommates who don’t like visitors, and I’m gonna go to one of those boot camps to change careers. I’m mid 30s but it all feels like something someone a decade younger than I would be doing. It makes me self conscious.
I keep trying to tell myself if he’s the right person this won’t matter both because he’s not a judgmental person and because he sees me for me.
I know my friend is just kind of an idiot, but I was telling her yesterday that my ex would call me “dirt poor” (he made a shit ton in my eyes) and she told me that I should get to a place where someone cant say that to me. I said why can’t I be where I am now but meet someone who wouldn’t dare say that to anyone ever. Again I think she’s not the brightest in certain things but it did bring me down as I know many people think that way. Trying to believe this person is different.
I’m acting like it’s an engagement proposal lol. I’m an introvert who’s not a fan of dating. I don’t like letting people see me or letting people in — I don’t know what to wear. Omg I’m so nervous lollll

I’ve been spending the new engrams on the vendor to buy spare rations for god roll. So it came up saying they are sent to postmaster so as I usually would I went to check and nothing is in there.
Any suggestions as to what happened and if there’s a fix??????

Hi everyone and thank you for taking your time to read this
I was in the Marine Corps for five years, so I typically dream a lot of being back in the military or being back in uniform so that is not very uncommon. After getting out, I seriously thought about reenlisting, but because of my health issues, I could not do it. I think my dreams with me to be in the military again without actually having to be in the military in real life.
Saying this, I had a dream last night about being back in the Marine Corps, but this time I was having a talk with the commanding officer, because I had secretly in the past gotten in trouble in my dream. The commanding officer was trying to figure out what exactly I did, and eventually in my dream I was in a couple vehicle accidents, but I had fled the scene in both. In my dream I didn’t even remember those accidents but once the commanding officer brought them up, I slowly did remember them.
The commanding officer was very much on my side, and did not want to see me in trouble with the law, so he was trying his best to come up with a solution as for me not to get in trouble. I am not sure, but I believe in my dream I was about to get out or maybe I already was out of the military, but it seemed like the only way to not get in trouble with the law was to reenlist and pay my time back in military service.
In my dream I did not want that because it would take me away from my family and this time it was going to be for 10 years. I was very worried in my dream, but I knew I had to face the consequences and serve my time again.
I think I’m a way I really do Long and miss the military lifestyle in real life so I know that’s why I have a lot of military dreams. The part that I am confused about is the rest of the dream about being in trouble because of a couple hit-and-run accidents and having to reenlist again. Would anybody have any type of interpretation for this? Thank you very much for your time and input.

i’ve been with my boyfriend for over a year, we’re very solid and he’s never done anything to make me think that he would cheat, if anything the opposite as loyalty is a very important thing to him
but there’s this girl in his work who’s interested in the same sports teams as him etc. it started as a joke, the classic “oh is that your other girlfriend” but i’ve found myself now genuinely believing it and i’m worried it’s ruining our relationship
especially after i saw his messages (wasn’t prying his phone just kept going off so i glanced down) and they’d been sending each other like memes/updates about their team and stuff and it just made me feel so uncomfortable as that’s the way he and i first got together. we were just work friends and it started just like that and so i worry that the same thing might happen again and he’ll realise that this girl who doesn’t have all the issues that i have could make him happier
i’m really insecure rn in general, i’ve gained a lot of weight since we got together and that’s a major thing for me as i struggled with an eating disorder badly for many years before i met him so i don’t doubt that plays a part, but there’s also little things he says to me about her that just come across as suspicious but on HER part not his
like she calls him “champ” and “little man” despite being 3 years younger than him, says stuff like “this is why i love working with you” etc, and even things that i perceive to be backhanded like “oh i think me and your girlfriend would get on so well” when based on what he’s told me about her we have literally nothing in common?
anyway i’m not trying to rationalise it i know it’s unreasonable for me to be acting like this i was just giving some more context but does anyone have any advice on how to deal with these issues im having?

My cat is stressed in general and as far as I know there is no cause for stress. She is not friendly and social. We've been together for 5 years. She did not experience any change of environment, change of owner, etc. I got her neutered a little late due to circumstances. She meows a lot when she's stressed. When I'm busy with something at home, she constantly rubs against my legs and shouts. She doesn't want anything in particular. Even me just being up and dealing with things makes her nervous. She calms down when I hold and love her, but sometimes she starts moving around nervously even when I just sit. She constantly meows. She always wants to climb higher, above the doors, above the windows, even above the pipes that run through the walls of the house. I can't understand this strange behavior. I don't have any other cats in my house. She is currently a sterile female and 5 years old. I don't know what could be the reason for her behavior and I would like to hear your opinions about it.

Clan: War Travelers
Description: NA tight-knit clan focused on Seasonal Softcore content.
Clan Discord: https://discord.gg/hQyRBsZn4G
How to join: Simply join our discord and introduce youself or DM me (GrimOfTheHood#5824) if you have questions.
War Travelers is looking for people interested in softcore seasonal content, especially people that want to occasionally group up for nightmare dungeons, pvp and open-world content. Otherwise, what's the point of being in a clan? In our opinion Diablo is best when played with friends and we want to build a community of like-minded people. Some of you will want to play solo most of the time and that's cool too! You can participate as much or as little as you want.
The plan is to have optional clan events(PvE and PvP) each week to form some groups, make friends and blow stuff up. Days/times will be voted on after launch amd members can create their own events if they choose.
We also have a seasonal competition that awards special discord roles for various challenges.
We want to stay small-ish to give the clan that tight-knit feel, which is why we are recruiting for a particular game mode(softcore seasons). We all know what it is like to be in a huge clan/guild and feel completely alone. WT wants to avoid that.
We have members of all types playing on console and pc. A mic is not required. Some want to go crazy and push their characters to the max, some are casual, some want to play mostly solo. Whatever your interests are we have a spot for you.

For context, I am 24f. I've had a buzz cut for several years (≈1cm, same length all over).
For the last month or two, I've been growing it out to look more "conventionally femimine" before I audition for a local production of The Sound Of Music.
Right now I'm at a pretty respectable Audrey Hepburn pixie cut, and I'm enjoying having hair to play with again, but it's also making me remember the sensory issues that brought me to the point of shaving it in the first place. Specifically having hair around my ears and temples really annoys me. If I don't get in or get cast as a nun, the plan has always been to shave it back down again.
Here's where the potentially stupid haircut comes in. What if I only cut off the parts that bother me (sides) and leave the top and back to continue growing? I already dress goth, so a deathhawk wouldn't look out of place with the rest of my styling, and if it gets long enough, I can flip all the hair to one side, making it look like a more conventional single side shave (which is basically mainstream at this point), or tease it upwards for that big, exaggerated goth look. Maybe I could even slick it back and braid it for a more sporty/viking look?
Idk because 1) it's even less conventional than my usual buzz cut, and 2) there's going to be an awkward month or two before it goes from "unevenly shaved" to "Okay this is a deliberate style". Also I live in a very conservative area with a lot of religious elderly people, and while that hasn't stopped me from wearing what I like, I do try to be mindful of my company when getting dressed.

Hi all, I bought a new PS5 last week and got this issue: while playing games (fifa23 disc, madden23 digital, both for PS5), randomly and without any alert (usually about 30 minutes in playing) the console automatically goes into rest mode. No fan noise, no scratches, no any particular sound. It doesn't completely shutdown, so I have just to tap the ps button on my pad to turn it back active. I made some research and: - the console is located in an open space, no dust or overheating since I literally taken it out of it's box 5 days ago - HDMI settings turned off - all options in the REST MODE setup are turned off - tried changing the plug and moving form vertical to horizontal position - no damage on the HDMI and power cable
Any idea or suggestions on what to do?
