How much are truck toppers

Hey, story time: I've had a friend in the university for 2 years. Last year or so, I didn't go to the new-school-year opening ceremony (bcs I'm lazy and stuff). So the friend mistook someone else for me and decided to talk with that other person. But ever since that, the relationship I had with that friend slowly deteriorated as he seems to have replaced me with that other person. He doesn't avoid responding to my messages, but the answer is always just obvious (i.e. I'm going to have an exam, and that friend passed with really good grade. When I asked him if he could send me the stuff he prepared from - usually a Word document or just taking notes, he just told me to look at what teacher has put up on the students' website. I tried to politely ask him if he wrote something and if so, might he send me, and he just ignored me altogether). It's not the first time he or another friend of his is done this, it's gotten to the point that when I ask him something, he would always go "just look up what teacher uploaded" (he didn't say that, I'm just implying from his responses), and never actually take the initiative to help or respond.
Once, I asked him if there is a Facebook group (of our group that we study in the university, a small one for particular study), and he said flat no. I've tried to ask a few times during those 2 years, and it was always no, just to later see with my own eyes him scrolling that group. (When I asked about it to him, he just started feeling really uncomfortable and lost, and started giving excuses like "Last year that girl added me" (no names), and "no one talks in that group that much" (which wasn't actually really true, and then told me to ask that other girl to add me. Okay, I was a bit skeptical and just wondered why he was lying to me, but I just brushed it off with him thinking it was actually "no one's typing too much".
Later (after a few months) I overheard his friend talking with another girl in our group about the discord chat and how someone uploaded the homework there (which I wasn't part of, of course). A few days ago I again overheard someone sharing the preparation things for the exam (which would save you a few days at least preparing). Everyone knew that, and talked with each other, but the same friend also uploaded homework in that group (while when I asked him about it, he just again, gave me the photo of what the teacher uploaded on the students' website to prepare for the exam, and didn't even mention that he had it. He still responds, but like I don't know, am I being paranoid here or something? We don't talk in real life (bcs he talks and hangs out with that other friend), also he almost always avoids adding me as a third option to the group projects and they would either do it together or with smbd else (kinda my bad since I once talked back to the teacher, and was a bit useless in one project that we done together, so do they now not want to add me anymore?)
Sorry if this seems like a one-big rant, but I just don't know what to do anymore. Am I being paranoid and should get some help? Is this like normal in a friend-to-friend relationship? Or should I approach the friend and ask what's up with all that and if he hates me, avoid contact, or do something else entirely? Sorry if I sounded like an egoistic bastard (aren't trying to be like that, just want a piece of advice). Any advice you guys could give me would be good. If you have any questions, you can also ask in comments.

We hide from everyone. The older we get the harder its been to maintain the facade of being just one person. The amnesia between parts is getting worse. Had to start a new job and the effort to maintain something that resembles control is breathtaking. We are the only source of income in the household. The stress is becoming to much. We spend full days of the weekend in a state of dissociation trying to recover enough to make it thru the week. I've tried to make this post in hopes of ... anything. I don't know what I would even ask for. We are trying a new therapist soon, our old one is failing us. Grounding techniques don't work, we are terrified and confused and have no idea why. We never knew what created us. We doubt we ever will. Nearly 2 years of therapy and made no real progress other that not being overtly angry all the time.
We will suffer, we always continue, we can't quit. This is not a reassurance. This it the fact of our existence. It is not possible for us to self terminate. We simply can't. But this is not living. We fear that one day we will wake up and not know where we are again. Not know how long its been. Not know who we see in the mirror again. We just want a moment of respite.
We can't stay focused now to find a new job. Not one that would make enough money to survive. We are alone inside ourselves surrounded by a word of people that we must hide from. Is this what hell is?

Hello, I was diagnosed with acute gastritis on the Tuesday just gone after overusing ibuprofen. I’m 22 and have some health issues (IBS, heart issue etc) I’ve been following the bland /anti acidic food diet since and on 20g Omeprazole for the next month. The ppis seemed to have helped so far but still getting the occasional heartburn and stomach burns this evening (I think it was my own fault after eating too much in one meal) I’m really struggling with stress as my mum passed unexpectedly a few months ago and im losing the house I’ve lived in for the past near 18 years and been told I have to vacate the property the end of next month(so there’s a fair amount of crying going on but I do seen a therapist). I know stress isn’t good for healing so I can I please have some advice on managing stress and looking to incorporate some supplements to aid in healing? Also how do not give into cravings as this a struggle, any suggestions would be fab. Thank you xx

tldr; what is a good prompt to classify given text. None of my attempts give a classification within my categories (even a wrong classification).
I'm aware that this has been asked a few times here, but there is no conclusive answer, and I want to get your feedback on how to proceed with my approach.
​
First of all, this is purely for academic curiosity, and there is no actual NLP problem here. I have used chatgpt to generate 10 news categories with their descriptions. then I have asked it to generate 2 examples for each category. Finally i asked local LLM to classify some samples. Here is an example prompt I have.
​

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
The news items can be categories like below.
Politics: This category involves coverage of political processes, policies, parties, elections, and politicians both at the domestic and international level. It can also include analysis of political trends and discussions on political theory.
Business: Business news relates to economic events, corporate developments, market trends, and financial analyses. Topics could range from individual company reports to global economic trends, financial markets, investment opportunities, and more.
Technology: This is focused on developments in the tech industry. Topics include product releases, software updates, breakthroughs in tech research, cybersecurity issues, discussions around data privacy, and impacts of technology on society and other industries.
Health: Health news involves developments in the field of health and medicine. It could include updates on medical research, disease outbreaks, healthcare policy, mental health awareness, fitness trends, and other health-related topics.
Environment: This category focuses on environmental issues and developments. This includes climate change news, coverage of natural disasters, reports on renewable energy, conservation efforts, biodiversity, and sustainability initiatives.
Sports: Sports news covers various sports events, players, teams, scores, match results, upcoming events, analyses, and sports politics. It can span from local community sports to global events like the Olympics.
Entertainment: Entertainment news involves coverage of movies, music, TV shows, celebrities, awards, festivals, and the arts. It could also include reviews and critiques of various forms of media, as well as news about the entertainment industry itself. Science: Science news focuses on new discoveries, developments, and breakthroughs in various fields of science, including physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, and more. It also covers controversial scientific debates and the societal impacts of scientific advancements.
Education: This category covers news related to schools, universities, education policy, educational technology, student and teacher issues, and new trends or methods in education.
Travel: Travel news involves information about different locations, travel advisories, trends in the tourism industry, travel tips, features on culture and lifestyle in different regions, and impacts of events (like a global pandemic) on the travel industry.
Based on these categories, classify below news items:

1. The upcoming federal election is seeing a shift in voter sentiment as recent polls suggest that the incumbent party might lose majority in the parliament. The opposition party, bolstered by this change, has started aggressive campaigning focusing on issues such as healthcare reform and climate change.
   
2. MegaTech Corporation announced a surprising decrease in its quarterly profits, citing supply chain disruptions due to recent global events. The news has resulted in a significant dip in the company's stock prices, and investors are worried about the impact on their portfolios.
   
3. A recent report by the World Environmental Agency indicates a significant increase in global carbon emissions, despite various international climate agreements. Experts warn that if this trend continues, the world could face catastrophic climate changes in the future.
   
4. Researchers at the Space Institute have detected a new exoplanet which could potentially support life. This discovery has ignited new excitement in the scientific community about the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
   
5. The beautiful coastal city of Azure Bay has been named the top travel destination for this year by TravelWorld magazine. The city is known for its pristine beaches, vibrant culture, and delicious cuisine

sure here is the stories you have provided classified below:

1. The upcoming federal election is seeing a shift in voter sentiment as recent polls suggest that the incumbent party might lose majority in the parliament.

OpenAI playground classifies items 3-5 correctly. I have tried quantized 30/33B versions of supercot, guanaco, Wizard-Vicuna uncensored, as well as Samantha 13b. I have also tried different prompts, such as putting examples in a tag in the input section, and just put one news to classify. In the first prompt I included above, all LLMs just continued to create sample news item, and no classification message. When I explicitly give examples first, and then ask to continue after an example news item ending with Classification:, some models just came up with new ridiculous categories even though I re-iterated the categories they should select from. I also played the model parameters (such as temperature etc) to no success.
​
Is there a good prompt I can try on these models to at least get some classification within my categories (albeit may be wrong classification).
ps: I'm well aware that there are better NLP algorithms, even a dedicated llama classification tool however I want to see if this can be done at the prompt level as OpenAI seems to be doing a good job at it.
ps2: A classification problem like this seems to be a good metric to evaluate models.

I’ve put a back up offer on a house, it’s been listed as contingent for 26 days now. How long should I expect it to be contingent? Is there really any much of a chance the deal will fall through?

First
Capes and Conundrums
“So wait, I missed what?” Robin asks into his communicator. Apparently whatever was going back at base was too cool for him to be left out of.
“New kit! An infinite grenade launcher, what’s looking like magic freaking wands, explosive gel and more! Hell! We can all get Pop Guns now?”
“Aren’t those the rifles that WILL pop your shoulder out of it’s socket if you fire it wrong?”
“Yep! Man portable and dangerous to starfighters!” The man on the other end boasts.
“And pop your ears out if you don’t have some kind of Axiom bullshit to silence it or hearing protection.”
“Right, well maybe it’s just me, but I think a gun that can kick people that are neither being shot by it or shooting it is a little excessive.” Robin remarks. “I’ll check the firing range and armoury later. Is there anything else?”
“We can kick up flaming tornadoes with some of the new toys?” The man on the other side asks.
“Stop interrupting my date.” Robin says before hanging up.
“That was kind of rude.” Alviara notes and Robin shrugs before pausing.
“Wait, is that on my part or on...” He starts to ask before a scream cuts through the air. It’s one of the teenagers that have been more or less stalking them.
“Should we?” He asks and Alviara nods and then proves herself to be no slouch in Axiom movement as she teleports to the edge of the roof. Robin is there in a moment. The girls are scattering away from something with screams of terror, several are trying to fight something off. Something that Robin tackles directly into and rolls with it along the edge of a skyscraper tier before getting his hand around their throat.
His pinned target has not been stunned and has zero chill as a bloody knife is thrust towards Robin’s eye and he’s forced to give up the grip to save his eye.
“What’s the matter!? I thought you liked killers around here? What’s the matter? Not enough purple?” The demented Lutrin asks. She has a vaguely stained purple jacket open to reveal a sports bra underneath and she’s squeezed into filthy and torn pants, also stained purple. Her left wrist has a small electrical fob on it with a hollow Green Triangle on it. A Lutrin symbol of health, a medical band.
“Shit, shit! Shit!” Alviara exclaims over the wounded teenager. “You! Call an ambulance! I need to keep pressure on the wound or she’s going to bleed out!”
“Who are you?” Robin asks and the Lutrin starts smiling wide.
“I...” She begins and he’s already moving. He just wanted her somewhat distracted. But apparently she’s far from that unalert as she swings the knife a few more times before vanishing in a chaotic whirl of Axiom and appearing behind him. He turns in time to catch the blow, but she’s enhanced it in such a way that he’s sent skidding to the edge of the tier even as she break she breaks her own fist.
“Yeowchkabibbles! Big man’s been eating his wheeties!” She exclaims in a tone that shifts through at least three levels of mania. “Hey! You’re CHEATing!”
“Idiot.” Robin remarks as he tucks away the medical band he ripped off her wrist. It should have all the information he needs on her. Now he just needs to take her down.
“Cheating cheating CHEATING!” She rants and then the Axiom jolts around her according to her demented and manic will.
Robin parries what seems to be a ghost of the woman as he just barely gets his boot knife up in time. The Axiom twists and he drives his opposite elbow into the forming gut of another illusion as the original blurs at him while wildly swinging the knife.
She catches a solid boot in the stomach and is sent tumbling. Her focus on the Axiom constructs never wavers though despite her rising up with a groan and Robin catches the wrist of the rallied illusion that walks on air out above the street.
“Naughty naughty... little boys are for cutting not for...” The madwoman begins to rant as she gathers her knife up again and Robin’s patience dies.
Both illusions receive bone snapping blows and his knife buries itself in her left knee and as she starts to scream he draws his pistol, takes aim, and then shatters her right kneecap with a single shot.
The illusions fade and before the Madwoman can even focus Robin stomps on her arm and feels it snap. She screams in agony.
“I don’t know what kind of crazy you are. But a word of advice. Don’t start fights you can’t finish. Especially not with the armed and dangerous.” Robin chides her and he hears a slow clap. Above is a Feli woman slowly applauding.
“I was indeed wondering what would happen if this little comic book city would have an actual comic come to life. Good to know we’re in a darker version like Alan Moore’s Watchmen.”
“Did you set this woman loose?” Robin asks.
“Confessing to such a thing would-” The woman begins before a bullet crashes into an energy shield she has outside the visible spectrum. “Oh! Very nice! Well placed shot! That would have gone clear through my collarbone!”
“Surrender or die.” Robin says lowly and the Feli grins.
“No.” She says before suddenly seizing up and then her appearance fades entirely as a prosthetic body falls to the ground like a puppet with it’s strings cut.
“Hmm...” Robin mutters. In the distance he can hear the ambulance coming and it’s been maybe three minutes since they were called. So that’s good reaction time if nothing else. Still... who’s doing this and why? He needs to report this directly to Admiral Hynala. This is the sort of thing that requires his direct attention.
“Why... why so serious?” The Joker wannabe asks and Robin resists the urge to just shoot her in the head. She’s not going anywhere and is in too much pain to actually cause further harm.
He resists the urge to threaten the idiot as he dials the contact for the Admiral’s direct contact. It’s every inch an emergencies only thing and he risks a heft pay dock if he uses it frivolously.
“Admiral Hynala.” The all business voice of the local admiral states.
“I’ve just stopped a Joker cosplayer from murdering a young woman and an ambulance is on approach. We will need to speak, preferably in person, when I can clear out all the hospital and police formalities.”
“Anything else?”
“Someone with a prosthetic body that projected the image of a Feli woman all but claimed responsibility. So you need to get into contact with the police so we can get all the information possible out of the prosthesis.” Robin states.
“Well reasoned soldier. Anything else?”
“The attacked civilian seems like she’ll make it. Especially as the Ambulance is currently swooping in. So I’ll say no. I will update you whenever new information becomes available.” Robin reports before hanging up. Perhaps rude and he’ll get a bit of a telling off later, but honestly? Priorities.
“How is she?” Robin asks as he kneels down next to Alviarna.
“She’s in shock, but the bleeding is staunched. She’ll live. What about...?” Alviarna asks as she looks over towards the injured and bleeding attacker.
“Disabled, temporarily. Healing comas mean anything shy of a decapitation or ripping out her heart can be excused as non-lethal. So long as she doesn’t pull the knife out like an idiot, she’ll live.”
Police cruisers swoop into the area. Good, he might not have heard it, but clearly there was sense enough to call the police. Good. Very good.
“Hopefully our next date doesn’t end so excitedly.” Robin says with a rueful smile towards Alviarna.
“Hopefully.” She confirms.

“Soldier.” Admiral Hynala says as he steps up beside Robin. The man is staring at a monitor that’s just watching the woman in the interrogation room. She had been placed under a small scale healing coma and was no longer at risk of death.
“Her name is Hezalia Cross.” Robin states. “We pulled most of her information off the medical bracelet I got off her. She’s a severe paranoid schizophrenic. A long history of lashing out violently and apparently went missing three years ago. There were apparently markings that she was experimented on, including numerous suture markings over her scalp. These have been cleared away by the healing coma.
“What have they gotten out of her?”
“She’s latched onto the Joker Character. What has me concerned however is her supposed handler. From the interrogation it was a hundred different people bringing her the Joker merchandise and such, but they all acted like one person. Meaning the Feli illusion overtop the prosthetic body could have been anyone, anywhere and to be frank, anything. No species is off the suspect list, and due to the way that these bodies work the perpetrator might not even be in the Skathac system.”
“The question of why is one I cannot help but ask.” Admiral Hynala says.
“That’s the information we don’t have. Information chuckles in there can’t give us.”
“... You pity her.”
“This isn’t the Joker. This isn’t a genius madman with complete and total nihilism trying to break the minds and souls of those around them. This woman isn’t even at the level of Victor Zsasz with a fanatic need to cut people. This is a sick woman who lashes out at her nightmares and I’ve shot, stomped and stabbed her. She should be in a padded cell and slowly working her way out of the hell she’s trapped in, not in an interrogation chamber.”
“I’m glad you’ve kept perspective. You will have some mandatory counselling just in case.” Admiral Hynala states. “Still... it looks like we have more drama on the horizon.”
“Perhaps not.” An officer says walking up to them. “Detective Savage.”
“A pleasure, what have you found?”
“This young woman had been used as a case study and her mind was partially digitized. We’ve caught the program. Effectively her mysterious benefactor was her own cyber-clone. The paranoid schizophrenia with violent tendencies has manifested in different ways digitally and caused her digital daughter to pull her out of her padded cell and try and ‘help’ her by giving her a persona to focus on and wanted to ‘release her to the wild’ where she could be free. The backup to Skathac was a lower Centris Spire chosen at random.”
“I must say, while this is somewhat anti-climatic it is VERY encouraging to see such competence in our allies.” Admiral Hynala states. “Might I inquire as to how you discovered this all so quickly?”
“We would have had it one way or the other. She was still wearing her medical band when she was let loose. Your soldier here ripped it off, but he was assuming she might still be able to escape at the time. So grabbing evidence when opportune is just smart. Anyways, it had a full list of her side effects and issues including the catastrophic failure of trying to use a cybernetic uplink to try and effectively speed her her mental healing. The end result was that they had two of her and one of them was living in cyberspace and had already gotten out into the network like a virus.”
“I see, and how did you catch her?”
“She craves sensation and is paranoid. She bound herself into a main body and destroyed it’s ability to contact a larger network for fear of it eating her. Which meant that we were able to trace things back fairly easily.”
“And being insane means she’s not exactly good at covering her tracks.” Robin notes.
“Exactly.” Detective Savage says. “This is why I argued long and hard with the Chief of Police against the Gothamization of the Skathac. Even if it brings in a lot of money the city of Gotham in the comic books is synonymous with corruption, crime and madness. None of which are good things. Here is madness. How long until Crime and Corruption are rampant as well? How long until this city is Gotham but real?”
“It won’t be. Comics have to follow certain rules. You don’t. There’s nothing stopping you from just shooting the lunatics.” Robin assures her.
“And what stopped you from doing so?” She asks immediately and he gives her an odd look.
“Ma’am. If not for healing comas then she’d be crippled for life or dead. Which is as gentle as I’m willing to go with someone trying to be a legit supervillain. If she was even more threatening, then I would have just straight up killed her and then needed some real therapy for murdering a mentally invalid woman.” Robin says and Detective Savage gives him a long look. The Sonir woman doesn’t break the gaze as she looks for something in him.
“I see. I see... Very much the, do what needs to be done then beg forgiveness type.”
“It works.” Robin says.
“What’s your schedule like?” Detective Savage asks.
“Why?”
“Because it relates to my next question.”
“Which is?” Robin presses.
“Are you seeing anyone?” She asks and Robin blinks.
“I’ll leave you two love bats at it then. I’ll request a formal report on this situation when I return to our base.” Admiral Hynala states with a smirk. It can be hard to not laugh at his soldiers and the silly situations they get caught up in.

First Last

Me 26F and my partner 29M have been together for about 5 years and long distance on and off for about 3 years. We are currently long distance in different continents so seeing each other is expensive and complicated. But when we do, we have great sexual chemistry. We are both sexually experimental and are very committed (marriage is on the cards when we close distance in about 2 years).
Now, he has brought up his fantasies about fucking other women and feels like he got into our relationship without having much sexual experience. Additionally, long distance is frustrating because he can't enjoy physical intimacy with me either. So he is now suggesting an open relationship. He doesn't know if he will like it but wants to try it at least once. He feels like I should understand that as a partner. However, I feel pretty hurt, insecure and jealous.
In the past, he has brought up his fantasies to fuck some younger girls (20-23 yr olds) or girls from his social circles and at least someone of a different ethnicity once in his life. He doesn't seek emotional companionship at all. And just wants to fix his needs. He doesn't enjoy phone sex and hasn't tried all things like remote controlled sex toys or watching porn or sexting as much - he gave them some tries but it wasn't as satisfying to him.
Last year, I tried to engage in polyamory because I fell for someone while we were away, but I quickly dialed back because it brought up my insecurities about infidelity (past trauma in family). And additionally, I didn't want to satisfy any needs. It just happened and I resolved my feelings because I was in a monogamous relationship with my partner. Now I am grateful for my partner's support during this time. He was hurt but he stood there for me while I was navigating these messy feelings.
However, I don't think I can actually be poly or any sort of ENM. I did my research and I don't think it is for me. Especially when it is sprouting from the idea to fix our relationship or put a temporary bandaid (both of us have been fighting a lot, and I don't want to take this route to save a relationship). Essentially, I do not want be a selfish bitch - I actually do want us to not be suffering in an LDR but I also don't think I can accept an open casual sex type of relationship. At least not at this time. I have personally suggested couple's therapy but he is strongly against it and is very defensive. He thinks I'm his safe space and doesn't like the idea of someone who is involved in our relationship and analyse his feelings or tells us how to resolve things. He said he'll comply for three sessions with a therapist as long as I pay for it. I have agreed but I don't know if it's the best route because he is being so defensive and dismissive.
So how do I politely approach this situation without giving in to his request? Any serious suggestions/resources/ similar experiences will be helpful.

Lately I have felt rather disconnected from the current playerbase's feelings on economy/progression due to having started playing a long time ago. From what I can remember, the random free talismans from mission reward lootboxes helped me quite a bit when getting through the first few tiers of different nations, especially since I did not want to spend money on the game yet. Most of the ones I received were not super useful, being only tier 1 or just a bad vehicle, but the few good ones I got were a huge boon.
Random free talismans is a system that seems like it would have many advantages, including lessening the grind for new players who are not yet invested and increasing vehicle variety in matches. However, I am interested in what perspectives other players have on this topic. Have they been useful to you? How could the system be improved?
My ideas would be to introduce a new type of talisman that increases SL instead of RP, and make free talismans able to be for a vehicle of any nation instead of always being the same nation as the vehicle you played the match with.

In short: this stuff is only as damaging as you let it be, for the most part. You’re family will still love you. Might as well take a few minutes and screw with the scammers.
Recently got into a sticky situation with the ole Snapchat. The scammers are getting smarter, and this was a relatively long Con. About 3 months in duration. After that period of time I foolishly felt comfortable enough to become more engaged, the last night I got got. The usual “I’ll send screen shots to everyone on your Instagram, I’ve already made the group chat. Play me $900 and it goes away.” I was quite scared. Shame, anxiety and embarrassment washed over me. But I have no desire to pay, and I really don’t like being fucked with. So I made a new instagram but used the same profile picture, and posted all the “evidence” on the story. Screen recorded the story, ensure to stop before it showed it was a new account with zero followers. Then sent it to the scammer, say that it’s all good, I’ll just do it for them, I ain’t paying. The conversation that followed was quite amusing. They tried to call the bluff and sent 2 of my friends the stuff on Instagram. Both of whom find this to be absolutely hilarious. I said cool, send it to more people. You could see them struggling with the fact that there plan was stolen from them. I asked them for more nudes. They immediately blocked me. I did put a story on my main instagram warning people that they may get some gross stuff of mine sent to the there DMs and that I apologize but explained the situation. I have received nothing but love and support. More shocking was the amount of friends who DMd me say the same thing happened to them at some point. Obviously this probably isn’t the best way to deal with this. But the main point is, if this happens to you and you’re feeling like your worlds about to end. Just take a pause, breathe and think about how this will actually effect you. If the only major consequence is embarrassment and a few awkward conversations just let it ride. Who cares. Anyone who actually cares about you, who may review the “dm” will probably be more disgusted at the perp than you.

Also wondering which colors people tolerate the most even if they're not favorites. Maybe a lot of people don't particularly like silver cars, but that color wouldn't be a dealbreaker. Or maybe that's the case for different colors. I am also wondering why a lot of economy cars have very basic colors (white, silver, black, blue) and there aren't many vibrant cars. Like would a purple Camry be harder to sell than a black one? I am assuming there are different trends with economy and luxury brands, but I am still curious for both.

The last thing I want is the placebo effect to be taking affect and making me believe I have depression, but things in my life right now make me think I am experiencing some form. I keep thinking about how my life peaked a few years ago, and that now I am spiralling down a path of no idea what I am doing, I think I’m going to go to University next year, I don’t know if I should or what I should do, I just feel like time is so intimidating how it keeps carrying on and progressing so I have more and more responsibilities as I go on. My most comfortable times are when I’ve stayed up late to watch films, because everyone else is asleep and I have no responsibilities. The world is just quieter. I tried to think of a method to sleep and trick your brain into thinking you were asleep for a very long period of time so I could experience a state of tranquility for as long as possible, I tried to google it and it directed me to forums about people being depressed and suicidal. Suicide has crossed my mind a few times, the main reasons stopping me are the devastation I would cause my parents and family and friends, especially my mother who is fighting cancer and has recently contributed massively to me learning to drive and getting my car, I wouldn’t be able to go through with it without thinking of the impact. I guess I just haven’t been able to talk to anyone about how I’ve been feeling for the last 2 months, so here I am. Remove this post if it’s irrelevant, pointless, etc.

Hi everyone, it’s my first time coming to the festival and I am travelling from abroad - I got a resale ticket for the festival yesterday but I still need to book my camping pass.
do you think there’s a good chance I could get a resale hive or A1 camping ticket at this stage or should I just suck it up and get a C3 ticket?
Also, does anyone know how likely (or how far in advance) C3 is to sell out? (I’m wondering how much time I have to ponder😅) and how far of a walk is it from C3 to the festival grounds?
Thanks 🤗

I love this album a lot some songs definitely should’ve been bigger then they are; One song that I love but hate is “girl of my dreams” if only BTS and Suga wasn’t in this song and Juice did a verse or two would’ve made it better (that’s just my opinion don’t take it personally) my Favorite song on the entire album would have to be Burn after I heard the story of How burn was created made the song ten times better

Hi everyone,
I’ve recently began experiencing something weird that’s leading me down a lot of rabbit holes, and figured I’d ask the sub for some much needed advice.
I recently started to notice whenever I place my truck (2001 2.3 2WD) in neutral and begin to come to a stop, the RPMs would dip to 500 before going back to just below 1000, the normal idle. I figured this was due to having my AC on. A few days ago, something weird happened. I was going around 50mph, down a hill, pushed the clutch in, and placed it into neutral. The RPMs began lowering, and lowering, until the truck turned off completely. I put it back in gear, turned it over and started it right back up. Today, something similar, but different happened. It took a tad bit longer to turn over on a cold start. I had to drive across town, took the freeway, and after getting off, everything seemed fine. After turning right at a stop light, I pushed in the clutch, preparing to stop at another light, and the truck began stalling out again until I gas it some gas.
Since I’ve gotten the truck, I’ve replaced all fuel related parts, and have kept up on tune ups. I’m thinking it’s the alternator, but don’t know if this is a “tell tell” of a classic issue my make and model commonly have.
And help, or advice would be extremely appreciated. Thanks everyone

Hey how do people make friends these days? Recently out of on a long term relationship and feeling super lonely. Old school friends have moved away and sucks to be alone. Where are there places to volunteer or meet new people?

Hi I’m 25, I have my B.S in chemistry, I’m Latino with Mexican and Salvadoran roots, I’ve lived in LA in all my life and I’m a bit of an introvert but I’d rather do things with other people instead of just by myself. For anybody interested in how I look here’s me.
Some stuff about me is that I absolutely love video games and have been playing them since about 2002 and I have games from a variety of systems that I’ve collected over the years and have played ranging from the Gamecube all the way to the PS5 so if you just want to play some video games with me like Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Fall Guys, Dark Souls, Elden Ring, PUBG, even Warzone I’d be more than happy to play those with you but I do admit I suck at shooters but do have fun with them but you’ll probably be carrying instead of me.
I love comics and manga and some characters I can always read and absolutely love are Batman and Spider-Man for comics and I can watch any of their movies easily and enjoy them a lot so if you’d like we can watch any Spider-Man and Batman movies together. I do have a collection of comic book omnibuses if you’d like to see that as well. For manga I’m reading Berserk, Dragon Ball Super, Hunter x Hunter, One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia, and JJBA Part 9. I do watch anime and I am caught up as well on the few I’ve watched. I absolutely love Gundam so if anybody wants to watch Gundam with me I’m more than happy to do so.
Some other interests of mine that could lead to stuff we could watch are Doctor Who, which I wouldn’t mind rewatching from Eccleston’s era up until now, I’m excited for the specials this year. Also Star Wars I absolutely love Star Wars and would love to be able to watch all the movies with someone this year and even the shows too if you are that committed. I’ve always wanted to watch The Twilight Zone and it’s something I want to get through and The Outer Limits which I’ve been slowly but surely watching at a snails pace. Any other shows you want to watch I’m more than open to doing so as well.
I do love classic rock, new wave and some indie music nd I’m open to some new music I just do admit I don’t like rap at all and could never get into it. I’d be happy to share songs with you if you wanted to hear some, I’m not a huge fan of pop but I’ll listen to some as well.
I’m not expecting anybody to like everything I’ve listed and that’s okay with me. I’d rather meet people who are different from me and would like to chat with me anyways. I don’t have any specific preferences but if you message me I’ll make sure to get back to you regardless. If you read this post all the way thank you for your time and I appreciate it.

I met someone nearly two years ago, started off dating then it became casual for about 6 months after, on his terms.
He cut me off in Oct 2022, but I manifested him back about 2 months later through visualising him re-adding me after he deleted me on everything. He wanted to be casual again in January but I declined and began dating my ex-boyfriend. We broke up in April & I’m in a fwb thing with this guy again.
We’re both currently dating around and we’re pretty open about it. He’s made it clear in the past and present that he’s not interested in anything serious with me. I manifested him back but not the way I want.
Is it possible to manifest a different type of connection with him? I‘ve done self-concept work to the max and I also stopped trying to manifest my ex back, and now focusing on my fwb.
TL;DR: I know how to manifest someone into my life but not how to manifest a certain relationship with them. Do I need to affirm for him? Myself? Visualise? And how are these methods different to manifesting someone back?

I (27F) have been on a major life overhaul. I’ve cut off basically all my friends and even my own sister due to their toxicity, tendency to use me and write off my feelings, and/or bad influences of substance abuse and constant party mindset. I even cut off my best friend of over a decade which is a story in its own. Where I come from, substance abuse and party culture is normal but I no longer want to be a part of that.
Health wise, I feel better than ever with more energy and being consistent in my workouts etc... But I’m incredibly lonely. My boyfriend of two years just broke up with me last weekend because he says he’s depressed and can’t be there for me. He was pretty much the only person I had left. I work remote so that adds another layer of isolation. I’m also battling infertility issues which makes me feel doomed and hopeless for my future, like I’m meant to be alone and have no family forever.
I’ve tried reaching out to old friends and seeing if there’s events I can attend such as on meetup.com but it all feels so shallow and honestly draining. I now just stay to myself at home and am going strong in my sobriety but want so badly to just smoke some weed or drink alcohol to pass the time. I won’t because my sobriety is important so instead I clean, cook, run errands, etc. but once all that’s said and done and night falls, I end up playing video games until it’s time to sleep at which point I either have to take melatonin and Tylenol PM to even sleep or risk being up all night crying and stuck in my lonely, sad thoughts.
I’m not sure why I’m writing this. I guess I’m just wondering does it ever get better? How do people who have 0 support system stay strong in sobriety? Any advice on not feeling so doomed to be alone forever?

So to start off, I am extremely in love with my boyfriend (m 26). I myself am a 25 year old woman and we have been dating for about a year. When I picture the rest of my life, I genuinely could picture it being us two in the end. My only fear is that I will be the one to ruin it. I do not know why I do this but I pick fights over very small things and let them escalate to the point of breaking up.
​
I absolutely hate this about myself and want to change. For example: 3 weeks ago I told my boyfriend that I would love to go away for a romantic weekend getaway for my birthday which at that point was in a month and a half. Fast forward to yesterday, I re-brought it up and told him a location which I thought would be nice. I think in doing this, I was hoping that it would say he already had something in the works but he didn't. In fact, he said "sure, ill do whatever you want, look into it babe". This really rubbed me the wrong way because I feel like I am always planning everything in our relationship and I was hoping that for my birthday, he would take the reigns and something for me.
​
Where it started getting toxic was when I called him and just immediately started telling him how I was feeling and according to him "screaming" and "questioning his character". He then went on to argue with me saying my birthday was still far enough away that he would have pulled something together etc. This argument escalated so bad to the point where I told him we should go on a real break when that honestly is the last thing id do. He then told me we needed space for a few days and I just lost it. He said he was thinking about forever and loves when we are good but that I just flip a switch sometimes and get so blunt and straightforward with my feelings that he shuts down. I do this all the time out the blue after months and months of good times and smooth sailing. I think he is losing patience with me and I fear every time I do this, he loves me less.
Does anyone else have experience with this? I feel like I am going crazy and just can not get a handle of my emotions. They come on so strong and so fast.

Did any of you actually follow the guidance of not binding for more than 6 hours a day in the 6 weeks leading up? (I've also heard 5 hours in just the 3 weeks before, so either one. Whatever you were told). If so, how did you do this while having a job?
I've already posted about this but it was more of an asking for advice thing, now I just want to know if anyone else has done it and if I should bother.
I can afford to do it, if they do it properly, because I could still do 30hrs a week broken into 6s. But I have no idea how to like.. tell them that I need to work shorter shifts, much less convince them to actually have it. I know any good employer would try to accommodate a request like that even without a reason, but I work in retail lol.
Not binding at work just isn't an option for me, and on top of binding I do a lot of heavy lifting so ideally I'd just have the shorter hours. I probably need it anyway just to process the fact I just found out I'm getting surgery, I've not been able to enjoy it because of all the mf stress.
I'd definitely rather follow their advice but part of me feels like no one actually does it
