Russian store near me

Hey everyone. I am from Oregon but want to buy a Certified Toyota sight unseen in Steubenville. I've already test driven one near me (higher price, not my preferred color) and I know I love the car itself, I just need it checked mechanically. Anybody know of any reliable mechanics that may want to do the drive for me for a Pre-Purchase Inspection? Thanks!
Update: my phone autocorrected Steubenville in the title lol.

So I found an acu jacket at a thrift store that was actually army issue and I almost got it but the whole issue of stolen Valor has always bothered me and I would never want to have someone think that about me, even if they didn't say anything to me. Obviously I would have worn without the patches it had on it but still just felt wrong. Am I over thinking and its common or is it still just wrong in a sense?

A few hours ago, my Dad took me to get a couple burgers and as he was taking me home, there was a homeless man standing in the exact spot I held a sign for a sign holding job a long time ago. The homeless man was holding a sign that said 'need food' and my dad's car was sitting near him for a good 75-90 seconds and I was so selfish that I did not give him one of the burgers when I had two. When the light turned green and we drove off, he looked at me and I looked at him and gave him a half smile but a fake smile. I did not think about him until 30 minutes ago. I thought, how selfish and ungodly of me, seriously. I was homeless from 2013-2016 and even though I am thinking about how nobody did anything for me when I was homeless except at the shelters where I got a bed and meals, I am really beating myself up over this man. That was clearly a sign from God. Hitting me right in the face. I need to do better for others. There are homeless people everywhere in my area and it has been well over a year since I handed someone a few bucks. A prayer for that man is pointless, he needed a burger.

TW sexual assault, interpersonal violence**
I spent nearly 2 years of my life with a man who subjected me to unspeakably cruel emotional and physical abuse. I stayed. I believed him when he said it was my fault. He is powerful, professionally speaking. It thrills him. I admire his work ethic. I admire his confidence. He is one of the smartest people I have ever met. I believe that anyone who knows him, except the few of us who have lived it, would never believe that he has the capacity to intentionally harm his intimate partners in order to dominate and control them. He is a democrat. He never hit me. I have no evidence.
The first time that he held me down during an argument, pinning me to his couch by my ankles so I could “calm down,” was 12 months before I moved into his home. When he apologized I told him I loved him. I knew long before the first time he pounded on my front door at 2:00 AM screaming “you better let me in” with such force it shook my windows that his former partner had written accounts detailing how he subjected her to physical and sexual violence. I’m embarrassed, mortified really, that I believed his explanation of these events. 10 months before he forced me to have sex with him while I showered as his entire immediate family ate breakfast downstairs, the sex become so rough and so violent that I would often urinate blood after. When my doctor asked me if I was experiencing violence, I said no. She told me she’d be in her office if I decided I wanted to talk to her once I dressed. I know I’m not the only woman who knows what the phrase “I’m sorry you had sex you didn’t want to have” sounds like coming out of his mouth.
It’s been months since he decided to end things and I while I am so ashamed that I spent the last few months begging and pleading to him that I could “be better,” I know (academically) that the psychological warfare he inflicted made it impossible for me to regulate my own emotions. It doesn’t make it any less embarrassing though. My desire to share my story, publicly- or even privately to mutual friends does not come from a desire to ruin his life or his career or the careers of the powerful people in our community/state who hire him. I feel I have an obligation to protect other women, and I’m so afraid that as he becomes more powerful the tactics he will employ to dominate and control his partners by any means necessary will only become more severe and more dangerous.
AITA?

I’ve been using it for years, have had a heck of a time finding anything that remotely comes close. There’s one MAC store I go to that tells me they are discontinuing, but other MAC stores haven’t said the same.

1. Any MAC artists here that can confirm or deny?
   
2. Recs for a dupe? I know it’s unique in that it is a gel.
   

I’m nearing the end of my 12 week maternity leave. It has been such a joy to BF my LO all this time. I would love to continue but sadly I must return to work so we have health insurance.
Thankfully he takes a bottle with mama’s milk just fine. I really hope he doesn’t develop a preference for the bottle and force me into EP.
Has anybody else experienced this transition and have some tips or words of advice for me?

Crossing the old mango tree

Beautiful world made by thee

Children singing with melody
Praising the glory of the almighty
Come together and join with me
To enjoy this beauteous scenery

TLDR at end.
Throughout my childhood, my sister (28/f) and I (36/f) were very close with my father (68/m). He was a very involved parent, coaching our youth sports teams and leading school parental advisory committees. He played board games with us and shuttled us around to our friends’ houses. In short, wonderfully involved father.
Our parents divorced 20 years ago. Approximately 6 years ago, my father met Deb (60/f). The two of them dated for a few years prior to Dad moving in with Deb. Without getting into details for the sake of brevity, Deb never really meshed with many (any?) of Dad’s family or friends. She’s very outspoken, abrupt, and judgmental, and shows very clear signs of narcissistic personal disorder (NPD). She also shows behaviours that have me wondering if she takes advantage of my father financially. My sister and I have really tried to foster a positive (or at least passable) relationship, but it hasn’t been working.
Two years ago, my Dad and Deb moved to an island near Deb’s hometown, away from the rest of my Dad’s family and friends. Apart from being geographically isolated, Dad has started to interact less and less with his friends and family. Soon after moving to the island, Deb announced that my sister and I were no longer allowed to visit my Dad and Deb’s house on the island; if my Dad wanted to see us, he’d have to travel to another state to visit us at our homes only.
My Dad has tried reasoning with Deb but she is steadfast in forbidding us to visit their house. Deb has stated that if he allows us to visit, she will end their relationship. She is unwilling to partake in group or individual counselling to discuss the matter and seek a resolution, despite Dad and I working with a counsellor to try and get through this (counsellor concluded Deb had to be at the table to find a resolution). Dad has said he doesn’t want to be alone at his age, and enjoys travelling and activities with her, so he’s not open to giving her an ultimatum in our defense.
This is causing my sister and I (and our young families/Dad’s grandchildren) a lot of pain. While I do love my father, I feel hurt and frustrated that he is simply ‘accepting’ these ultimatums and not sticking up for his family to Deb’s emotional abuse. I feel that a healthy relationship is reciprocal, and as such, have told my Dad that if we’re no longer allowed to visit his house, it’s likely we won’t see him as often and our relationship (including with grandchildren) will deteriorate. I just can’t retain my childhood image of him as the ideal father knowing that he’s not willing to stick up for us to Deb.
Am I making the right choice by telling my father that if he doesn’t stick up for his family to his emotionally abusive NPD partner, I’m unwilling to accommodate a non-reciprocal relationship, and will likely have a lesser opinion of him as a fathegrandfather, and see him much less frequently?

First of all. We were there in 21, and I think we were the only ones who had a good time. It was our first festival so maybe we don't know what a well run fest is.

1. Zach killed it. I was looking for the post down about 180 days ago crying he was a headliner saying he didn't deserve it. I wonder if OP went this year. The energy on Saturday was all him, and he didn't disappoint. He also showed up on stage with two other artist on both days. I wonder if he thinks the same now? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--7tVUDMj3o
2. Lines, water, food, bathrooms, and shade were all better. Even local medias biggest issue is ride shares/traffic/hotels. (Legit gripe, but also LEX isn't set up for that. RB literally added 1/5 of the total population to the city.) Would love to see better logistics if they continue at Red Mile.
3. The Lineup was 100% my jam.
4. Performance highlights.
   1. Marcus Mumford - Kansas City
   2. Nathaniel Ratliff - I'm on your side.
   3. Head and the Heart - Rivers and Roads (Bonus ZB duo too.)
   4. Weezer - My name is Jonas.
   5. Sierra Ferrel - Don't let me Down (Beatles cover)
   6. Nickle Creek - Light house tale
   7. Lol. Sheryl Crow dropping "This song is older then your mom"
   8. Zach - Oklahoma Smoke Show.

Overall was a incredible time.
Complaints.
Saturday the vibe was awesome. Sunday UK kids wanted to fight everyone to the front so they could GenZ and talk instead of watching the music. Why did you fight your way down to Limestone to face the other way to fight about football while music was on. Douche bags you're not that cool. Go home.
Acoustics near Limestone were off. Clearly had a lot of technical issues. Weird static, Guitars dropping out, sounded better at the entrance. Weird.
Overall. 9/10. Great success see y'all next year!!!

Lily(16F) and Zoe(16F) have been my friends for ages now. For context, Zoe and Lily both have similar haircuts and brown curly hair. Lily doesn't like that they keep getting compared appearance-wise because she struggles with identity issues, so I comfort her but am unsure about bringing up to her how the situation is unfair for Zoe.
To the actual topic now, recently, we all went to the local mall together. Inside, Zoe and Lily were excitedly talking about what piercings they were planning on getting next. Zoe wants a septum which is the main cause of 'conflict' in this situation.
We entered a store, and Zoe began looking at facial jewellery. I was walking around with Lily and when we made it back to Zoe she said that she wanted to get a septum piercing. I was very supportive of this and asked her if she was okay because she suddenly became very reserved and quiet. She says that it’s her identity issues acting up again and Zoe comes back from looking at jewellery with a packet of fake piercings. To cheer Lily up I start talking about how we can all try on piercings together in the bathrooms and she lit up at that.
In the bathrooms, we tried on piercings and Zoe put one of the rings in her nose to see what it would look like and it genuinely looked really good on her, but Lily kept saying "I think a stud would look better" or "I don't think it suits you" Just to talk her out of getting it since her having the same piercing would make her feel bad.
Anyways, things continue as normal after, we went back to my place to hang out and they both ended up sleeping-over with Zoe having to leave early the next morning for work. It's just me and Lily now, we play games for a while before we start talking about random shit, and I carefully bring up the septum situation. She says that she wants to tell Zoe not to get it because it'll make her feel very insecure and unsure of herself as they get told they look similar already. I tell her that they really don't look the same at all, and that the only similar thing is the colour of their hair (they really don't look the same or have the same haircut, Zoe's curls are a lot tighter than Lily's) and people are being shallow if they say that.
I also carefully say that you can’t control what someone else does to their body, if Zoe wants to get a septum piercing then she can get one and that it's kind of unfair to put her identity issues onto her shoulders because it's not Zoe's fault that she feels that way.
I don't know if I was being a massive asshole towards Lily for saying that or if I should've just left it and let her tell Zoe not to get it, but Zoe overthinks situations like this due to past friendships, so I don't want to worry her.
It's a difficult situation all round. I know this might read as an immature argument because we’re all teens, but it wasn’t emotionally charged at all.
Am I the asshole? Is anyone the asshole? Idk.

The writing on the wall isn't looking too good which depresses me; the actor and directors themselves have reported that Disney has nothing slated for the character in the near future. I'm sad because Oscar Isaac was a stellar actor and brought to life one of the most interesting marvel superheroes to date. Is there still hope to see Moon Knight on screen again?

Our HVAC system is 15 years old and during the maintenance checkup our "expert" suggested we replace the system because it could fail anytime (leaking blower motor, pitting on contactors, etc). We have a 1800 sqft house, gas heat. He gave us the options and I guess because costs have gotten so out of control they started having to do payment plans. So the cheapest option was $304/month for 10 years, which works out to $36,480 total. The most expensive option would have worked out to $48,000 over 10 years. We can pay for the cheapest one out right and it would be around $22,000.
I remember 8 years ago in Virginia we replaced our entire system for $5150 and I thought that was crazy. Like, who has $5150 sitting around they'll willingly spend, much less $22,000? Paying nearly $40k for HVAC is absolutely insane to me. Anyone else in a similar boat?

imo it was one of the best marvel productions on disney+. The writing on the wall isn't looking too good which depresses me; the actor and directors themselves have reported that Disney has nothing slated for the character in the near future.

Still, speaking of Jynx, her run is complete. I named her Snooki.
Up to Brock: Moveset: Pound, Lovely Kiss, Lick UGHA... Jynx just FEELS like a hoe. I'm sorry. I know there are people who actually like her, but this thing, to me, sucks. In terms of appearance. Jynx's starting moves don't use her Special at all, just her less than average Attack. Lovely Kiss is quite the amazing move. Pound, UGH. Not good for Jynx. I think Jigglypuff got more use out of it to be honest. None of the Bug Catchers were a problem. I gave Gary Charmander for this run because Charizard has Fire moves, but that may not have been the best idea for later on. Brock, though... that was terrible. I even went back to Gary 1A for EXP, and Buzz wasn't that bad with Lovely Kiss. Brock, I knew Geodude was just going to Full Heal no matter what I did, so I decided to just try Pound. No. I had to grind until Level 18 to learn Lick... GAAAHAHHHH... I felt bad this time. I couldn't not imagine Jynx looking so odd fighting this Geodude and Onix by Licking them and that doing more than Pound. Oh well. Just happy these moves were good for now. I kept Onix asleep for a long enough time with Lovely Kiss so that Pound would kill it by the end, too.
Up to Misty: Moveset: Mega Punch, Lovely Kiss, Lick, Water Gun Got Water Gun for Mt. Moon as well. I nicked a Spearow on the way, and even found a Paras while wandering around. Lick helped me catch the Paras. It was weird enough when Gastly had to Lick stuff, but Jynx felt downright disgusting... GAHAHAAH... I kept Lick only because I thought it would be more useful than Pound overall. And it would be. Nothing was hard leading up to this part of course, Water Gun on my better Special did help in a few of the fights. Once I got to Misty (I was gutsy enough to go at her immediately, yes...) I won pretty handily. Putting her Pokemon to sleep helped so much. I Mega Punched her Starmie down.
Up to Surge: Moveset: Body Slam, Lovely Kiss, Bubblebeam, Water Gun Bubblebeam over Lick, PLEASE!! Gary 2 wasn't even a problem. Bubblebeam was good enough to carry me through Pidgeotto and Rattata. Mega Punch stopped Abra, DUH, and Charmander of course dropped to Bubblebeam. It was now that I was like... Uh... maybe Charmander wasn't the best? Oh well. I already started. I guess if I ever redo these, I'll make Jynx fight Squirtle next time. Anyway, Nothing before Bill's House was bad, but I nearly ran out of Bubblebeams getting there. Once I got the Ticket, I went straight to the S.S. Anne, didn't bother grinding and walked straight to Gary 3. Still was as easy as it was before. Body Slam still took down Kadabra, too. Bubblebeam even wiped Charmeleon. Surge was also trivial. Bubblebeam and Body Slam annihilated Voltorb and Pikachu, and then Raichu, took Bubblebeams. I absorbed a Thundershock and Thunderbolt, but I shrugged them off like nothing. Raichu fell like everything else.
Up to Erika: Moveset: Body Slam, Lovely Kiss, Psychic, Ice Beam I did pick up Ice Punch during Rock Tunnel and spammed that through several battles at that point, but then I took down Gary 4 after I left Rock Tunnel. Pidgeotto, Exeggcute, and Gyarados all fell to the icy fists of fury. Kadabra again took the full brunt of a Body Slam, and since I still had Bubblebeam then, Charmeleon fell like a rock. Took down the Gambler on the way to Celadon, and then went straight to the Rocket Hideout for the money, then took out Giovanni 1, and got Ice Beam, and used the path to Saffron to immediately get Psychic. Psychic was used through my first fights in Erika's gym, and Ice Beam went BRRRR through her team.
Up to Koga: Moveset: Same Um... Yeah, Pokemon Tower was swept, as a Psychic type would do... and Ghost Marowak and Snorlax went bye bye. Ice Beam and Psychic together is too good to not use. I was beginning to get over my disgustedness by now, too, with a far more convential moveset. Koga himself just died to Psychic. Not much more to say besides that. Weezing was the only one who needed two hits, and even then, he only used Smog on me. Poor bastard.
Up to Sabrina: Moveset: Come over here, big boy... Don't know a Snooki reference. Probably for the best. Rival Fival ACTUALLY gave me a reset. Due to a RANGE. A RANGE!!! GAH! Pidgeot fell to Ice Beam like it should, as did Exeggcute, and I kissed Gyarados good night, allowing Psychic and Ice Beam to take care of it. I then did the same to Alakazam and slammed it out. Charizard didn't die to Ice Beam, and then due to Gyarados hitting me before, it killed me with Ember. I came right back, adjusted my moves, and won. Giovanni 2 was just as easy as last time, but other than losing my 4x damage with Bubblebeam, who cares? Sabrina died fast, too! Kadabra fell to a Body Slam, Mr. Mime was frozen by Ice Beam, Venomoth still fell to Psychic, and after a Lovely Kiss, Alakazam died to a few Body Slams.
Up to Blaine: Moveset: Body Slam, Lovely Kiss, Psychic, Blizzard Again, an upgrade from Ice Beam because hell yeah. I then walked into Blaine's gym, thinking I'd take one reset if any. I didn't. I took Growlithe and Ponyta out with Psychics, then Rapidash with Blizzard. When Arcanine came out, I put it to sleep by kissing it really hard, I think... and then threw a Blizzard and a Psychic at it. It died.
Up to Giovanni 3: Moveset: Is it cold in here or is it just Snooki? It was by now I was finally okay with using this thing. Or maybe by Sabrina. I really don't like this Pokemon. In short, Blizzard on non-Nidos, Psychic on the Nidos.
Gary 6: Moveset: Snooki... got... butt? I forget. Didn't need no Canides. I used Blizzard three straight times in a row. Pidgeot, boom. Rhyhorn, boom. Exeggcute, boom. Gyarados needed one, and then a Psychic. I put Alakazam back to sleep and slammed it repeatedly. Charizard just died to Blizzard.
Elite Four: Moveset: Our final stage... is here! Go out with the lights on you as you SAS-HAY through these fools! Or something... I dunno. Came to my mind as I typed this. Jynx won on the first attempt. Blame Lovely Kiss.
Lorelei: Could have maybe been trouble, but Lovely Kiss and Psychic killed Dewgong. Cloyster hit me with Supersonic as Lovely Kiss missed me. I killed it with Psychic as I was smacked by Spike Cannon. I put Slowbro to sleep and saw Blizzard did more damage than Body Slam. I outdamaged her Jynx with Body Slam, too, and then beat Lapras with Psychic.
Bruno: Blizzard Onix, hit Psychic on the Fighting types.
Agatha: PSYCHIC SPAM
Lance: Blizzard beat her Gyarados, two Dragonairs, and Aerodactyl, but I ran out by Dragonite and used Lovely Kiss and Psychic to kill Dragonite.
Champion Gary: Pidgeot cannot help but buried under ice. I put Alakazam to sleep yet again and slammed it. Maybe Snooki and Alakazam was gettin' it on... GAHA!! God... Shut up other side! Rhydon fell to Blizzard, Exeggutor got thawed after Blizzard by Full Restore, and I used Blizzard, then Body Slam to fell the great palm tree of death after a Lovely Kiss. Gyarados fell to Blizzard and Psychic, then Charizard was vanquished by one stray Blizzard.
I won at Level 61 and at 4:57.

Next is Electabuzz. Now that thing is something I've come to love as I played Pokemon.

I don't like calling myself a "survivor", because I don't think what I went through was anywhere near severe enough for me to consider myself that, especially when I look at the countless others that have gone through far worse, but there are those that insist that I am, so I figured I'd ask here.
This happened while I was living in Vegas a while back, when I was 19. I had just gotten off work at about 11 at night, and was waiting at the bus stop, when this dude who is very visibly drunk stumbles by and starts talking to me, asking for help. I don't remember exactly what he was asking, but he did ask me to head a little down the road with him, to where his family was staying. Even then, I knew the situation was very dangerous, but I was exhausted from work, so I wasn't capable of making the best judgement calls at the time. I also knew the area very well, was confident in my ability to fight the guy off if he became violent, and I was (and still kinda am) a bleeding heart when people in that state came to me for help. Vegas buses run fairly often, so I figured why not, and went with him.
I'll skip the unnecessary details, but keep in mind that I am a trans woman. I bring that up because he was very "romantically handsy" with me while we walked down the street; calling me his girlfriend, holding my hand, walking close, that sort of thing. Given his state, I didn't mind it too much, so I humored him and played along, always keeping on edge in case things went south. I didn't expect him to turn my head towards his and kiss me, though. It was certainly a lover's kiss, I'll say that much. I froze in shock for a moment, but began to push away when I felt him getting a little too comfortable with his hands, I'll say. He played it off like it was nothing and continued down the road. I, on the other hand, was definitely still shaken, though I put on my best customer service poker face to try and hide it. I felt violated, for sure, but I had at least stopped him before he went further. I wanted to turn and run back to the bus stop I was at, but I knew I'd feel overwhelmingly guilty about just abandoning him without knowing he's at least someplace safe in his drunken state, so I stayed with him. The next bus stop wasn't too much further anyway, so I carried on. We did stop at a convenience store, and I did tell some of the people there that he was drunk and I didn't know him, and to call Police if he came back this way later and I wasn't with him.
Fast forwarding a little more (the walk took far longer than I'd have liked), and we stopped at a nearby casino parking lot so he could drink the beer he bought from the convenience store, which I did advise was a bad idea but hey, couldn't expect him to listen to reason at the moment. The next bus stop was very close, and the next bus was due to arrive relatively soon, so I leaned against a nearby post for one of the large casino signs you see all over Vegas. I had my phone out, wondering who I could call to make sure both I got home safe, and this guy got the help he needs, when this guy presses against me, pretty much pinning me against the post. He was gentle about it, but it was still enough to catch me off guard. I couldn't understand what he was saying through the slurred speech, but judging by his eyes and where his hands were moving, I had a fairly good idea of what he wanted. Before I could do anything about it, though, two of the casino's parking lot security pulled up on bikes and asked us what we were doing, thinking we were just two overzealous teenagers or something. I distanced myself from the guy and explained the situation, albeit poorly due to my shaking voice and failing façade. They separated us and one of them asked me something while the other one got the drunken man to walk back up the road and away from me. I don't remember what the other guard asked me, as my mind was still reeling from what the actual hell was going on, but he didn't let me leave until the other guy was out of sight. He then asked if I wanted a ride home in one of their cruisers, and I declined. I just walked to the nearby bus stop, just in time to catch my next bus. I texted my mom about it, and she was the first to say that it was definitely assault and a reportable offense but again, I was way too exhausted to make a report about that so late at night. Even moreso after the fact. But I had also heard countless stories of other people who had gone through far worse than that, and I really didn't think it appropriate for my mother to be saying I'd "survived abuse", as she was adamant about. It was wrong, sure, but again, I'd heard far worse stories, and had known people close to me who had it much worse. So, I just filed it away in my mind as another weird Vegas occurrence.
Now, however, the memory keeps resurfacing every now and again, and I wonder if it really was as big a deal as everyone made it out to be - then and now. So I figured I'd make a post here and ask, to at least get some sort of definitive answer.

So last night I dreamt that my dad murdered my entire family, and I had to hide with my grandparents to stay safe. My granddad then nearly killed my dad, but my dad was trying to get to my cat (who is deceased in real life) to kill her. I told my granddad to not let him touch her, so he finished the job. Then out of no where my granddad picked up my cat and started torturing and killing her. By the end of it I said, just kill me, and he sent the knife through my stomach and I woke up.
I often have horrendous dreams/nightmares, but this one just didn’t make any sense. I trust my dad with my life, he cares for me so much. I have issues with my mum but he is always there to support me. My parents are married and there’s conflict but they get along when I’m not present. This dream is really confusing for me. Maybe my dad was protecting me in my dream, because he didn’t kill me?
What does all this mean?

Thought I'd share why I had been out for a while and while I cannot share too much, wanted to shed some light into what I have been up to. Decided to slowly get back into the game with a mix of dating apps, some daygame, and nightgame over the weekends. Shut off almost all of reddit and decided to go all in on game yet again. Pulled off 3 lays in one week.
Lay 1: Half-Asian and Half-White mix from New York.
I was at an outdoor bar the Saturday before this one and had done a handful of approaches. Night starts out rough as I try to chat with a couple of blondes but get brutally rejected. I keep probing and then hit it off really well with this tall brunette with a tan. Things were going well but her friends find her and practically drag her away. I cannot do a thing about it. Lately, I have been gaming solo since I find wingmen to be highly unreliable.
So I keep at it and then out of nowhere as I am heading to one of the nearby bars to order my first drink, I run into this one girl wearing a tanktop and yoga pants. We chat a bit and banter. She went to school at Marist and played Volleyball there, was in her 20s too. She was tall but I had a couple of inches on her given that I am 6 ft (or slightly below lol).
I decide to move her from one end of the bar to the next and get no resistance from her. Then I try to figure out her logistics but she says she is with a few friends. I look over and notice a couple of her friends seem gay and the others are these white girls who look chill. So I decide to get her IG and then keep talking to her. As the friends come over, I talk to them as well. They were all cool but I know not to talk to them too much.
To my surprise, they let me talk to the girl but then I work my familiarity of the city's nightlife scene to my advantage. Propose to all friends that I know of a great rooftop with nice views and we can go there, they decide to go with me. I know a few of the staff at the rooftop and they get us a decent spot to sit in. Friends get a little drunk and the girl is only somewhat drunk. I pull her off to a more secluded part of the rooftop and propose we go to my place. She pushes back but I hang around.
After that, we make out a bit and I tell her we should check on her friends. Two of them are heading back and I propose to the girl we check out my place, she is now down for it. Pull her back and as soon as we get to my place, we start making out. I take off her top and suck on her tits. As soon as she gets in just her panties, I could not help but smack her ass and bite and kiss those cheeks, she loved it. I smash with protection on that night and then we chill nude on my couch watching Netflix. I get hard again and she blows me while we are watching a horror movie.
We then fuck again a couple of hours later, protection on obviously, and go to sleep. Wake up in the morning and this time I hit it raw but we ended up spending the morning and the afternoon together nude fucking. She proceeds to tell me that she loves Indian guys and has a thing for them but just not many "bold" ones up in New York. Wow, my theory was right. I keep in touch but she has to fly back the next morning, a fun lay after a long time.
Lay 2: Armenian girl from LA.
I went out daygaming that Sunday and was hitting a lot of brick walls, ended up not getting much of anything at first. Then I saw this Kendall Jenner lookalike and decided to shoot my shot. The girl was shockingly receptive and after a long while of talking, probably 10 minutes, I got her IG. She could not go on a date because she had to meet friends for dinner and it was getting kind of late too (like 7). The next day, we go on a date but I make it near where I live. She loved the drinks and the bartenders + staff at the place know me well.
We talk and I banter with her on and on and on, teasing her a good deal. Finally, I decide to show her my spot which has a nice rooftop view. She tells me I better not try anything and I look at her puzzled. Take her to my spot, show her a nice view, and then try to get intimate. No one else is around and it is just us so I go for the kiss which I get no resistance from.
Then I tell her I have one better view to show her, she says "uuhhh you are not going to pull me into your bedroom are you?". I tell her "not exactly". She goes along and I pull her to my apartment, she loves it and she loves the view I get. Then I get intimate with her again and end up smashing. We once again do it a few times but then she says she has to see her friends at the club. We shower nude together before I have to kiss her goodbye. She was actually really fun too but so sad that she has to leave.
Lay 3: Korean and White mix from LA.
This one was just the past Friday night for me. I was at a huge bar and striking out to start the night. After that, I chat up these two girls, one was a tall redhead and another was this brunette with exotic looks. I grab a guy who seemed to be by himself that night and introduce him to the redhead as I talk to the brunette. The brunette laughed and said "smooth", I sort of ignored it. She tells me she is from LA and I jokingly say "yeah and ur Armenian", she says she is Korean and white.
We seemed to hit it off well from the start, she let me touch her and all. The redhead is making out with the guy I introduced her to and I make out with my girl, not much resistance. We spend a lot of the night together with her grinding on me and me kissing her behind the ears, gently. She was down for it and I tell her that I got some nice rooftop views for her, she agrees.
Take her to my spot, show her a nice rooftop view, make out some more, bring her back to my apartment, and smash. Just like with the first Asian and white mix, I ate her out and we fucked multiple times that night. Woke up next to each other and fucked probably 3 times that morning, twice without protection.
She later tells me that she is into Indian guys....
This is not the first time I have heard of Hapa girls being into Indian dudes.....
But yeah, sadly she has to leave as she was a tourist :(

I had posted a thread earlier today asking how to politely approach the store owner of a newly opened art consignment store about charging us for credit card fees and mall fees. I am still waiting on a copy of my signed agreement.
Update: Apparently I wasn't the only one pissed about this because we all recieved this email. I will likely be leaving if this goes through. Names and shop name removed for privacy reasons:
Apologies Regarding the Sales Receipt
Hello all,
Last night I sent out all of the sales report receipts. I apologize for how rude it was for me to add on fees without warning you explicitly first. I unfortunately had to add in an $11.00 credit card fee to each vendor because Clover charges us those fees. Please know that you are only being charged for the credit card fees accrued from Clover sales in the month of May. I have divided up this expense evenly between all of our vendors. Additionally, I also had to add a $1.00 fee because of [Fancy Mall]'s extra charge for our rent in the month of May. We had to pay an extra approx. $80 to [Fancy Mall] because our sales have been so great we have hit our breakpoint for sales as indicated in our lease agreement. I never imagined we would do so well that this charge would be an issue for us. We are doing so well and this fee is a sign of our success.
I understand that it is not fair for me to divide fees equally among all vendors considering everyone makes a different amount of money each month. However, it is just not humanly possible for me to do this amount of payout and calculations biweekly. I will have to adjust our contract to be monthly payouts in order to be able to take my time and accurately calculate fees for everyone. I am sorry if this is inconvenient for you but I must do this to assure I am charging everyone fairly. After this payout, all payouts will begin being processed at the end of the month and will be sent within the first week of the following month.
Additionally, because of the feedback stating my methods were unfair, I have decided that I will have to withhold May 17-31's payments until Monday, 6/12 to get this arranged. So please disregard your previous sales receipt and look out for the new, fair one coming soon. Be assured that you will receive your funds. If you absolutely need an expedition on payment, please reach out and we will try to arrange something.
If you would like documentation of the Clover credit card fees or a copy of our lease agreement stating we owe those charges to [Fancy Mall] please let me know. If you no longer wish to have your products in the store due to this miscommunication or the change in policy, please let me know and your exit can be arranged.
This store is a community effort and we aim to be perfectly transparent about what we are charging you. We work hard every day to make sure we are providing you and our community the very best we can with what we have. I hope that all of you know me and my team and know that we are here for you. I cannot always do this whole business thing perfectly, especially since we are such a small team. But I promise I put so much of my heart and soul into making this business the best it can be. I appreciate you taking a chance with us on this journey to discover the best methods to innovate this ethical model of consignment.

There used to be a British shop right near me, but it closed. Quick Shop isn't quite what I'm looking for, and I'd really really like to be able to pick some up on my grocery run. Regular sausage just isn't the same.

We’ve been together for nearly 3 years. To cut a long story short, sex has been an issue that comes up - at the beginning of the relationship, he wanted a lot of sex whilst I was new to it and didn’t. He also made a very hurtful comment that knocked the little confidence I was starting to gain having sex with him. (He’d slept with a prostitute before meeting me, and once said (during sex) that I was terrible compared to her. I broke down in tears because he’s the first person I’ve slept with, and I struggle with confidence as it is). I think this has set a bad tone?
There’s a lot to say, but I’ll keep it to the current situation. He doesn’t seem at all interested in sex with me. We had sex twice last month (it’s not awful, but it’s strained and I’m not happy with it). When we do have sex, it’s rarely when I initiate it (and he rarely initiates it himself).
If I bring this up with him, he gets very defensive and just says that he does want to have sex with me, and that I’m “trying to create problems”.
Any advice? I do love him and believe he loves me, and I want to work through this (so please no break up advice - it’s hard to explain an entire relationship in one post).
TLDR: how do I bring up my issues with sex with my bf, who doesn’t seem interested but denies it
