9 am eastern time

Upto the my age of around 17 my dad was never around. He used to always be at work.. Most of the time work double shifts to provide for us and a lot of times I didn't see him for days. I rarely saw him and even when he was around I used to avoid him because he used to ask me about my studies and didn't let me stay out late to hang out with my friends. Also I was scared of him scolding me as he had a temper. Around the time I was 17, I think my dad had some realisation or something and he changed a lot. He became very friendly and started spending time with me and my little sister. But for me the damage was done and I personally never wanted to be around him. Later at 18 I went off to study in college and I have been living away ever since. Now I'm 28 and my dad is a very different person. He is literally the dad I wish I had when I was young. He makes lots of efforts to connect with me, jokes around, etc and I appreciate it but I probably will never be able to have a very close bond with him. But I do want to make it work.
Last month when I was visiting my mom, she said he regrets he didn't spend much time with me when I was a kid. Although I am not anyone's dad, I can understand that he must be feeling very bad about it. Now I can't be a kid again and make those great memories with him but I want to do something to make him happy.. Something to reduce his regrets and make him feel better.. What can I do?
Ps- My sister has no such feelings and has a great relationship with dad. She was probably too little before he changed for the better. Also she was ever since her birth my dad's favorite so I guess that probably helps

Sorry for all the text, any skimming would be appreciated. But basically I just need validation that not eating consistently for 20+ yrs would make a person feel terrible and be extremely fatigued to the extent they feel a need to sleep all day?
I haven't been able to talk much with a doctor beyond being told it's probably my mental health. So I guess this is my replacement for talking to others to kinda make sure I'm thinking logically about possible causes for my symptoms & how I'm going about trying to get healthier. My mental illness/trauma is obviously a huge component but there are physical aspects & repurcussions that I really feel a need to have a knowledged.
I've never gotten into the habit of eating consistently. I'd have the occasional good sized meal or a period of time living w a family who made sure I ate enough but that was always short lived.
I feel like even as a young child I was always very fatigued mentally and physically. Always teary eyed and yawning. Difficult for me to not fall asleep trying to read. Tasks that demand more effort or people asking me to put more effort into things brings up a huge emotional tantrum within me. I seem to guard my energy very carefully bc I always feel stretched further than I have capacity (even though I've never really done or achieved much - just kept myself alive). As an example I've noticed I'll clumsily fall into a chair not caring if I spill my hot tea all over myself bc I'd rather be burned than spend more energy carefully sitting into the chair and staying aware of my space.
I have horrible focus and cognitive ability in general. Idk how to explain how intense my mental fog feels it feels like parts of my brain are decaying I swear. It's difficult to even have conversations or fully follow a whole video.
My body aches badly. Always feel pain in my hands and feet. Get muscle spasms. I'm chronically dehydrated despite always having a water bottle w me sipping all day. Sometimes have resting tachycardia. Have a heart murmur and chest pain. Bad circulation. I've always been a slow eater, seem to get physical anxiety symptoms sometimes when I eat & especially when I try to eat not so slow. Easy for food to get trapped in my chest if I'm not slow. Acid reflux and some kinda difficulty swallowing (constantly choking on water). Cavities and gum recession (clench teeth). Wake up angry. Always feel badly, difficult to get any positive stimulation.
It's extremely difficult to keep a handle on my health when working full time - I just sleep, work, try to grab some food and teeth brushing supplies when heading out the door & hope I have time to use them at work. So I'm not working rn & am gonna try part time.
Guessing living my life so far not eating or moving much has gotten me here. So rn I'm trying to eat every few hours, take vitamins, drink lots water, take warm showers & stretch night and morning, some low impact cardio, resistance bands, & TMJD stretches for exercise. Alka seltzer has been helping.
Try to do other things for mental health as well - I do spend a lot of time focused on that & have been in and out of therapy since I was 8 despite drs always wanting me to be in therapy as if I'm not putting in effort there.
Does my thought process & game plan make sense?

So, it’s been a week of pre-op diet almost. 1 more week to go but I have noticed recently that I am a bit overly sensitive and snap easily over small things.
Last night, I wanted to fix some vanity lights in the mirror and my bf was not helping me the way I wanted him to and was asking too many questions and I just snapped! I wanted him to read my mind or something. I’m usually pretty understanding but yesterday I had no patience! And today I wanted to go out for breakfast at my favorite place.. I searched their menu last night to see what can I eat there and found some scrambled eggs with some ground meat. I was so excited, I couldn’t wait for the morning. The morning was so good and I did my makeup and everything, we went to the restaurant and then we got the menu… my bf starting asking what I want and I told him like 3-4 times what I want and how I want it.. but I guess he didn’t like that and was asking if we can share something or if the food I’m ordering is good for me, they serve bread with it, can u eat it or not and I got soooo mad! I snapped and said I’m not saying anything anymore. I just wanted to leave and then I cried. He ordered what I wanted but my appetite was gone. I barely ate. Cried a lot… and some more. Then talked to him after the second coffee.. then we smiled.. and I realize I’m getting too sensitive and emotional all of a sudden. I don’t know why though. Is it normal or is it just me??? 🙁

For whatever reason, enabling fast startup on my computer does not work. The option exists under the power settings, but toggling it on does absolutely nothing.
Every computer I own that has fast startup enabled

1. had lower boot time
2. did not show the scroll wheel during boot.

Some computers that I own do not reset uptime during shutdown / fast startup cycles.
I have tried:

1. Resetting (both deleting and recreating, and resizing) hiberfile.sys
2. Resize pagefile.sys
3. Updating BIOS + clearing CMOS
4. SFC and DISM tools to repair Windows (no errors found)
5. Toggling Fast startup on and off again through power settings
6. Disabling fast startup through cmd (powercfg commands) and enabling again

I have no clue what is left to do to fix this.
Computer Setup:

• CPU : 12600K - OC to 4.9 Pcore 3.8 ECore (happens without OC)
• RAM : 32GB Corsair vengeance 5200MHz DDR5 Ram (dual channel mode)
• Mobo: Asrock Z690M PG Riptide/D5 (Latest bios, Ultra fast start mode enabled)
• GPU: RTX 3080Ti Inno3D IChill Black
• Pagefile size : 32GB
• Windows version: 10.0.19045 Build 19045

Yesterday my instance went down. I confirmed I can not SSH either. So, I logged in to my Oracle account to check my instance status and can only see this message:

You don’t have permission to view these resources in this compartment. Try another compartment, or contact your administrator for help.

As I have seen in this subreddit, many others also reported this not-so-clear message, which means Instance and Tenancy are both terminated. Mine was an ARM instance in India-Mumbai region that was running for 4 months.
​
I always doubted there might be some TOS violations behind these reported terminations, so I ensured all possible measures to avoid any violation of Orace's TOS.

1. In this instance I used to execute some of my own codes - Memory utilization was always above 16%. The 95 percentile CPU utilization is difficult to measure, but often it used to go up to 60-100% for a very short time. The memory utilization alone is enough to prevent instance from being marked idle.
2. No crypto mining
3. No web scraping
4. No public file hosting. In fact, I was the only one able to access the instance.

I don't see any possible reason why Oracle would delete my instance. So, is oracle just randomly deleting free-tier accounts when they run short of resources?
I emailed customer service, with the slightest hope they might reinstate my account or at least let me know what went wrong.
​
I know upgrading to pay-as-you-go could have prevented this, but I didn't prefer to do that. I expected Oracle will honor its own terms for providing free tier - if no TOS violation and no idle status, then my account must remain active. If oracle intends to handle free-tier accounts this way, then I would not even trust them with PAYG. Someday, when they fall short of resources further, they might decide to do the same with non-paying PAYG accounts (those within free limits) as well.
In principle, I can not trust to host my important services or data with so much uncertainty. I know I should not complain about free services, which I am not. Legally, they are free to do whatever they want. I am just saying that a company is not trustable that doesn't follow its own acceptable terms of usage.

I've (23f) been taking these meds since Sunday night. They were prescribed by the doctor. They are small amounts as my depression and anxiety aren't that bad, although it feels bad af at times.
Anyways since I've been taking them I feel like I am not myself anymore. My bubbly and spontaneous self is gone. I feel restrained and self-conscious, always thinking of how I look or say things. Most people tell me I look tired, sad or hungover... and I don't, I really don't want to feel like this. I find myself gazing at stuff without even noticing it in conversations, and when I realize people are looking at me asking if im ok. I live with my dad and with him I do feel like myself, however, when my mother came to visit me (I hadn't seen her in like 2 months) I felt unemotional. I felt the same when I was having dinner with some friends. I want to be able to be and behave like before my anxiety and depression hit me. To have normal and funny conversations with my mother, friends and family. I have felt it's gotten worse when I started taking these pills.
Are these feelings normal when you are on meds? or without meds but with anxiety or depression? Does it ever go away? Go back to normal?

So I just had sex (kinda) with my gf.
Details: - It's our first time and both of us are inexperienced - I did used a condom, but fumbled with it. AT FIRST, I put it on upside down ( it couldn't roll down), then I flipped it the correct way and put it on. My penis, both the shaft and the tip, was 100% drier than the Sahara. - Only the tip went in but then a few seconds later, she told me to pull out cause it hurt too much. Then we stopped.
So it's been 1 day after our little wrestling match and she is feeling great.
I'm just a bit paranoid that she might be pregnant because I put on the condom incorrectly the first time. Her period is usually at the end of the month so I'm just waiting for it.
Am I being paranoid or is it an actual chance of her being pregnant? I'll try to answer any questions as soon as I can.

I(20F) have been having some troubling thoughts lately.. a bit of context:
I have tried a few things in my teen years, but not much. Stuff like alcohol and weed. I still smoke weed often, and drink occasionally. However I decided to try something new some months after turning 19.. acid. First shrooms, it was fun. I enjoyed it. Then I tried some acid in pill form which was fun too. Then tabs. The first two or three times where fine, I had a good time. It was a little scary but overall not too bad.
About 2 months ago me and my best friend decided we’d do acid while visiting my mom. My mom is really cool, very spiritual (third eye type shit) and has a lot of experience with acid. My moms brother(my uncle) was visiting, and he’s also all about that acid. My mom and my uncle decided to take a tab with us so we could all have a bit of fun. I took 200ug (I usually only take 70-100 cause my tolerance is LOW). At first it was fine, it was my best friends first time and I had fun observing him.
About 3 hours into the trip we’re sitting and watching Rick and Morty, when I suddenly can’t make sense of what they are saying at all. It all started turning into gibberish and random words, and the episode started falling apart for me. I didn’t understand anything. I thought it was a really weird episode (I’ve since watched it back and realized I was hallucinating hardcore)
After the episode was over I had to pee really bad, and went to the bathroom, however my uncle was passed out on the toilet asleep, he had been drinking and taking acid and was impossible to get out of there. I start worrying, I have to pee so bad, so I decided to go outside alone on a cold day at 4 in the morning. I find a spot behind my house and take a leak.. things are alright but I’m very uncomfortable and things look so weird around me. Everything is moving.
But then it happens. The one thing I had hoped would never happen to me. Ego Death. On my way up the stairs I black out and start feeling emotions I simply cannot describe. Emotions I’ve NEVER felt before. I regain consciousness but feel EXTREMELY OUT OF PLACE, as if my skin is loose and I’m not where I’m supposed to be. I crawl up the rest of the stairs and fall down on the couch. My best friend is sitting there and when I look at him he’s a stranger to me. I don’t really know who he is, because I can’t recognize his face (hallucinations made him all warped) so I just stare at him. I don’t register anything hes trying to tell me. The only person I’m aware of is my mom, who’s laying in her bed asleep. I feel like I don’t exist and I get REALLY freaked out. I mutter to the “stranger” on my couch that I have to find my mom. My best friend guides me to her bedroom and I lay down next to her, wake her up, and ask her to hold me. I am a 20 year old woman, but In that moment I was my moms little girl and I was terrified. So hold me she did. And it started collapsing for me. I didn’t think she was real, I didn’t think anything was real. I felt like I was trapped in my brain and it felt like years had passed while I was laying there. I couldn’t close my eyes. After 30 minutes of laying there the only thing I could think was “if I want this to end I have to kill myself”, and in my head I kept saying “this is it. I have lost my mind. I’ve gone insane I’ll spend the rest of my life in a ward”. it was so scary. My mom was comforting me as much as she could but I didn’t think she was real so the comfort felt like a figment of my imagination. It wasn’t very comforting.
Finally, after hours of pure hell, I fell asleep. And I slept for about 14 hours. When I woke up I felt weird. Not like, stomach pain and nausea and the general weird feeling of taking acid, but I felt… WEIRD. Still out of place. I was there physically but had a hard time pulling myself back mentally. My mom asked me to walk her through what happened and I did. She assured me this feeling would go away.. but it’s been 2 months and I sometimes still catch myself feeling out of place. Bigger than myself, something else. I feel like an alien sometimes. I don’t like it. I look at the people around me and feel like a fly on the wall. My depression is worse, my anxiety has gotten really bad, I feel ticcy and weary all the time.. and I feel mentally unstable, more than before.
I should also mention I suffer from various mental illnesses. Such as depression, anxiety, Borderline personality disorder, ADHD, tics, PTSD, and aggression issues.
I feel unwell. I need advice. Thanks for reading.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 60%. (I'm a bot)

BEIRUT - The Lebanese government's last-minute decision to delay the start of daylight savings time by a month until the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan resulted in mass confusion Sunday.
ADVERTISEMENT. No reason was given for the decision, but a video of a meeting between Mikati and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri leaked to local media showed Berri asking Mikati to postpone the implementation of daylight savings time to allow Muslims to break their Ramadan fast an hour earlier.
After the postponement of daylight savings was announced, Lebanon's state airline, Middle East Airlines, said the departure times of all flights scheduled to leave from the Beirut airport between Sunday and April 21 would be advanced by an hour.
The country's two cellular telephone networks sent messages to people asking them to change the settings of their clocks to manual instead of automatic in order for the time not to change at midnight, although in many cases the time advanced anyway.
The 8 a.m. appointment for her residency paperwork is with a government agency following the official time, while her 9 a.m. Arabic class is with an institute that is expected to make the switch to daylight savings.
The schism has led to jokes about "Muslim time" and "Christian time," while different internet search engines came up with different results early Sunday morning when queried about the current time in Lebanon.

Hey everyone, 24F, diagnosed with RRMS in 2021.
I guess I need to vent, if that's okay. I work at a domestic violence hotline and it's becoming very stressful to me. The reason being is that I make 3 sick hours per pay cycle, which sucks because I'm on Ocrevus so I'm immunocompromised. This means that I need to not be sick/feel unwell for a total of 6 weeks to rack up 9 sick hours, which only covers a day. The silver lining is that the job is remote, which works, but I'm feeling overwhelmed, I feel sick today and have been up for an hour deciding whether I should call out. I'm also afraid me calling out sick today will result in the supervisors declining my requested day off for Sunday, April 2nd.
Honestly, it feels like I'm trapped. While I like helping others, the job can be very stressful. I don't know what to do. I've looked up other jobs and I don't think I'm gonna get a better one but I need the income. I can't be on my feet all day and traveling is a challenge for me. I feel so trapped and like I'll never find my ideal work situation. Or maybe this job is as good as it's going to get. But I'm so frustrated that I have to rely on my body to not be sick or feel bad for 6+ weeks at a time. Today, I have 15 hours but since I called out today due to not feeling well, I'll have 8 hours. The job is already remote, I feel like it's the ideal accommodation for people and I'm not entitled to want anything more. And yet I do. I'm just feeling so lost and helpless. That's all. Thank you for listening or providing any words, much appreciated. 🙏🏼

Hi, everyone, I'm looking for book suggestions! I DON'T want the book to include any kind of romantic angle (including past motivations of main characters, like a dead partner or something), no will they won't they, just no pairing, not a hint of romance, NADA
​
My ideal has been Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot, I love mysteries but am happy to explore Fantasy and other non - fiction genre.
​
Going through a though time, so really looking for an escape!

On March 25th at 10:08 AM PT, Tokyo Revengers Season 2, Episode 12 will hit the screens. If you're an international fan, you can catch the latest episode on Disney Plus or Hulu. Japanese fans, on the other hand, can tune in to TV Tokyo, TV Aichi, or MBS to watch the new episode. However, the timing of the release may vary depending on where you are.

I remember the last time I was on the dole the payment was officially listed as Tuesday but I was always able to collect it a day early. Is this still the case? Or even the case at all?
I have to pay my car insurance on Tuesday and am worried will miss the direct debit if it tries to take for it before I can lodge the money in the bank.
Sorry if this isn't allowed and tia for help!

This is really hard to explain, but I’m gonna try my best. I got into a scuffle with my boyfriend twice today, both over trust related reasons. I confronted him twice today about these things that are honestly stupid and not that bad, but for some reason it made me freak out and start crying. I haven’t spoken to him about it for the past few hours, I just ignored his last text.
For some reason, I view my relationships almost like a tally system. Kind of like a “three strikes you’re out” thing. Over the past couple of months, we have gotten into arguments. Not as bad as my past relationships, but one from early March was especially bad. In my mind, that thing counted. He seemed genuinely upset, and I felt it basically radiating off of him. I don’t know why I view the tally thing as valid, but with all my experience in relationships, there’s only a few things that you know count towards it’s end. Sometimes they’re so bad you know it’s a rocket right towards the pillars holding up your relationship. Most of my relationships have ended in relation to argument reasons.
I sometimes feel like a leech that tears away everything my partner is. The problem is that I don’t know how to stop it. I’ve been in therapy 7 years, at this point I feel like this is just who I am. I remember my boyfriend hesitating his words, compliments, conversation, etc. I asked him why and he basically replied that it’s because he’s scared how I’m going to react to it. I have a habit of blowing things out of proportion. He can’t even compliment me because he claims I wouldn’t believe him anyways. It hurts so much. I don’t want him to fear me or my reactions. I don’t want this as another tally on the chart towards a breakup. He’s a great person, I just feel like a fucking villain. He doesn’t deserve to be with someone who makes him feel so hopeless and trapped.
When I feel them grow distant from me, whether that’s physically or emotionally, it feels like I’ve already done too much. Like I’ve shown too much of my bad side and there’s no going back from it. I can’t redeem myself. This is where I feel like walking out and giving up. Like no matter what I do, they won’t ever view me the same as before. I hate that I keep doing this. Every time I try to seem emotionally stable or mature in a relationship, it never holds up. I’m so scared to be alone. I feel like at this point I won’t have a choice.

My parents are planning a summer holiday for them and me [16F], they’ve found a good location and hotel, the only issue is that we’d have to share a room (they would ask the hotel to set up a camp bed or smth in their room for me). I have done this plenty of times before in the past; however, I am starting to feel increasingly uncomfortable about the situation and I would appreciate having my own space.
I told my parents that I wasn’t entirely happy about the situation as I’ll be almost 17 then and even when I was 13 I wasn’t keen on sharing a room. I said that I would be fine with skipping a holiday this year or perhaps going closer to home or staying with family if finances are an issue. My mother said I was being awkward and my father said that he would share rooms with his friends when he was my age and that I was being hypocritical as I often share rooms with my friends; however, I feel like that is different.
Writing this out I’m starting to realise that I’m acting spoilt and I’m pretty sure I’m in the wrong here but I would like to hear other opinions or suggestions about this.

I am very confident about this. Some evidence to back it up:
1) Namor identifies his kind as a mutant when talking to Shuri. How could he make that distinction unless he already met the x-men before who let him know he was their kind?
2) The members of DODC in Ms. Marvel refer to mutated characters like Ms Marvel as 'Enhanced Individual'. My theory is that previous to the blip all mutants were refered to as mutants but post blip new genetically modified indivuals started to appear. To make a distinction between the two, the DODC refers to pre-blip mutants as mutants and post-blip mutants as 'enhanced individuals'.
3) Another loose theory I have is that the 'Full moon party at Kamar-Taj' where Dr Strange claims to have used a memory spell was used to make the entire population of earth forget about Mutants as they were causing a lot of controversy (similar to previous xmen movies) at the time. The memory spell was used with the consent of the x-men who mutually agreed to go into hiding and stay under the radar. My guess is Nick fury/Shield/DODC are well involved in this mutual agreement.

First off, you all are amazing for exclusively pumping! I started pumping in the hospital after emergency c section and baby would not latch after despite multiple LCs and nursing help. Started at 8ppd now down to 5ppd due to the impact on my mental health. I’m 4w postpartum. At 6ppd I was producing approximately 3-5 oz more than baby ate. Now with weaning I am feeling more engorged with small clogged ducts (already taking sunflower lecithin which does help). Since I am likely not regulated yet, is there a different way I should go about weaning? I’m not entirely sure I want to stop pumping all together, as combo feeding sounds good to me at this time, I just need to drop to perhaps 4ppd so I can start feeling myself again. However, if this doesn’t help, may need to continue to wean to nothing. Thank you!

Hey guys, my return hook snapped on my UTX-70 and am wondering if there are any replacements out there. Knife has already been back to Fletcher 3 times and it’s kind of getting annoying and costly. Would like to just get a fleet of back ups if possible. If anyone could lead me in the right direction, I would be incredibly grateful.

Hi everyone, I am having this issue since yesterday i.e. when I turn on my PC, I get message on my monitor "No Signal Detected" while the case fan and cpu fan spins and motherboard light lits up. I've had this issue often in the past which got resolved by cleaning my PC, reseating components.
This time before I started getting "No Signal Detected" message on my monitor, my PC was able to boot to Post BIOS screen (Asus logo) and once or twice it was able to fully boot to Desktop.
To troubleshoot this issue, I tried unplugging all the non-essential components and only keeping Mobo, CPU, single RAM stick and PSU attached to just get to BIOS screen but it doesn't work. I have also re-inserted CMOS battery, tightened cable connections but still no success.
To me it seems like either motherboard or CPU is faulty but I am not sure.
