2023.04.01 08:56 jayjellyjams my dad and step mum have ruined my childhood
I 19 f have a stepmother 42 f and a dad 48 m and they have been together almost all of my life. even in the very beginning me and my SM (step mum) have never seen eye to eye, when I was little she wasn't overly bad I just wasn't comfortable with the idea of calling her mum and her trying to act like she was my mum because my actual mother was still very much present in my life at the time. even when I was very young I had some mental issues that were hard for me to deal with at a very young age so around 10 I kept a diary that I wrote everything including what I was thinking and feeling and over the years leading up to this event SM and I have drifted a little apart because I felt like she was trying to take over my life. So one day me and her got into a fight I can't remember what it was about but I ended up writing some mean stuff in my diary about her and her family so I could get rid of some of my anger. a couple of months later we were having another fight when she brings up what I said in my diary. I instantly knew that she had read through my diary and it had some heavy emotional stuff of mine in there so naturally, I was upset and from there, our relationship has had a steady decline.
when I was 13 I moved back in with my dad because my mum developed ovarian cancer and couldn't afford to take care of me. it has been nothing but a downhill roll from there. I was only meant to stay a year before going back to live with my mother but I had the decision to either stay with my dad or mum and naturally 13 year old me didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings when one day when my dad wasn't home SM came up to me and demanded I made a decision then and there after only two weeks of thinking about it. she was getting angrier with me by the minute and I decided in a rush to stay with my dad so my mother could get better, she seemed a little annoyed by that and that was that she walked off without a word to cheerfully tell my dad over the phone I made a decision so soon.
I could go on and on about the stuff she has done to me but ill try and summarize it. she has thrown a box of salt crackers at me, read my dairy again when I was 15, and at a later date made me read the section where I talked about SH just because I was winning the argument and she didn't like it. she has two daughters and constantly gets them things but if I ask my dad he says no, once when I was 15 I asked my dad for a septum piercing practically begged and he said no then when my younger step-sister turned 14 she got a septum piercing that her mum paid for. every time I went without, the excuse my father said was "they aren't my kids" but he had no problem buying them things and not me. my dad pressured me to get a job as soon as I could get one then said I wouldn't be able to hold a job for a week, One day my grandmother brought over some cupcakes, some of them had nuts and some didn't, we didn't know if I had a nut allergy at the time so I wasn't able to eat nuts at all until we found out and on that day I had to go to work and my dad promised me one when I got home. when I finally did got home from work everyone had eaten all the nut-free ones but left the nut ones and my dad just said "oops sorry" and I had to sit and watch as my SM and step-siblings ate the rest of the cupcakes while I couldn't have any. one of the issues I think I might have is adhd because at the time I had been looking into it for months and decided I should at least get checked so when I sat down with my dad and SM and told them I think I might have this thing and before I could even state my case they started laughing right in my face and kept laughing as I walked away crying. My dad and SM took all of us to darwin for SM's birthday, our birthdays are only a week apart so when we spent a week there celebrating her birthday I thought we would be able to stay a day or so longer for mine but instead they booked the flight back on my birthday because they forgot that day was my birthday and when I got upset they yelled at me and we didn't celebrate it at all
it wasn't great with my step-siblings either my younger step-sibling always got what I got but never the other way around she liked to bully me a lot by pushing me, calling me names, and excluding me. every time i went to my dad about it he said to fight back but when I did I would get yelled at so I learned to just sit there and take it. when I was 15 I still hadn't gotten my period and when I tried to tell my dad something was wrong he kept saying it was how I ate junk all the time or how I never eat vegetables (which was untrue). finally, when I turned 17 I went to the doctor to find out what was wrong with me and it turns out that for some reason my body just doesn't produce estrogen and I had to go on estrogen tablets to actually experience puberty and now I'm a 19-year-old going through a 16-year-olds puberty and he never apologized for not listening to me.
my dad was or is rarely on my side, he could hear SM cuss at me and say mean things when we fight but he would never step in and help so it was always me against her from when I was 13. when my SM would get mad she would go crazy screaming throwing her hands around stumping and it was very scary for me. it also wouldn't help that I was basically a black sheep in my family because of them, they liked to talk shit about me to them when I was right across from them and could hear. i become paranoid when I was 16 to 17 because they talked behind my back so often that every time my SM would whisper around me I felt in my bones that she was talking about me and the way she whispered made me want to rip my skin off.
That's not even half the stuff they have done but I just wanted to get some of it off my chest because she wants me out of her house and my dad is doing nothing to stop it. I have nowhere to go, only a small amount of savings and to be honest I'm just so tired I don't want to live anymore. it's been a battle my whole life and I'm just so tired so even though no one may read this it's good to get it off my chest before something happens to me, and if you did read all of this.
thank you.

2023.04.01 08:56 Determinaator List of European & Worldwide beermoney opportunities! (studies, testing, offers, surveys, apps) - April 2023
Freecash has launched a new $50 giveaway! You can participate here.
Introduction
Having recently gotten into beermoney websites myself I quickly ran into a problem - being located in Eastern Europe it is difficult to find something that actually works. So, I've spent some time and gathered around a fair amount of websites that I personally tested to see if they worked for real or not. These were tried out in Estonia but should work worldwide. It is highly recommended to combine various websites in order to maximize earnings.
Please don't hesitate to share any beermoney websites that you know as well. Be aware that most of these websites require verified PayPal in order to process withdrawals, so make sure you have that sorted out. This list is updated whenever a new method is found!
Sign-up offers can be found in a separate thread.
We have launched a dedicated beermoney blog, BeermoneyGuides! It will feature more in-depth guides and reviews for beermoney methods listed here.
Mobile applications
We'll start with some of the mobile applications that I have found. Note that these are all for Android so you will have to double-check whether an iOS version is available.
Passive methods
These are passive ways to earn money! They just require initial setup, probably the most hassle-free way to earn additional income.
Get-Paid-To (GPT)
As the title suggests, "Get-Paid-To" websites pay you to do certain tasks. Now there might not be too many surveys available that work, but offers can be well worth doing in my opinion. Take some time to browse around to see what is available (for example, mobile game offers). Once you have found something I recommend to start comparing rates that different GPT websites are offering (for example, game X with offerwall Y is available both on Freecash and Swagbucks, but Freecash has a higher payout for completing the same task).
Generally the games offered are very grindy but not impossible to complete. Patience is key, make sure to do your research about offered games to see which ones are the easiest.
Tasks/micro jobs
These sites offer micro jobs, which are basically small tasks that you can perform for payment. It is recommended to use multiple micro jobs sites at once as each site has unique tasks.
Other
These sites will pay you for various actions, such as performing internet searches, watching videos and more.
Crypto
Websites that focus mostly on cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrency exchanges
Recommended cryptocurrency exchanges to sell your earned crypto for fiat.
Studies, surveys
Some websites that offer studies/surveys.
Usertesting
Websites that offer software/website/other testing
Websites to avoid!
❌PollPay - company refuses to send out payment and their support has not been replying back for a while now.

2023.04.01 08:53 Ok-Impression347 My (25F) boyfriend (31M) got his new assistant and our relationship starts dying
Me (25) and my bf (31) live together for 8 months now. 6 months ago. He told me he needs an assistant for his job to handle the basic things for him. We talk about hiring someone from my country to do an online job. We talked about what is he going to say in the interview and he even showed me the candidates. He is kinda a bit harsh to some of the job applicants because he sometimes judge someone based on their looks. Then after a week my dad got sick and had to go to the hospital so i needed to go home. Its a 12 hour drive. I stayed with my parents for 3 weeks. After i come home with my bf he didn't mention that he got a new assistant. And was a girl. He didn't even introduce me that this girl is his assistant not even a heads up like hey this is my new assistant she is going to text me from time to time. Nothing. He also become a bit shady with his phone. He didn't let me borrow it to get the food delivery outside to meet up with the delivery guy. Its kinda suspicious. And whenever he's in the computer he is always smiling. He never does that before. When i brought it up to him he let me read through his messages. And i didn't find anything to think that he is cheating. But sometimes they joke around (work related jokes) and it is making me insecure. It caused a lot of fights. I told him im not really comfortable with you making her laugh cause she is a girl. Something is going to develop if you keep doing this. We almost broke up once because he had enough of my jealousy and i needed to begged just to fix it. He also said that being with his assistant kinda disgust him cause he doesn't want her to feel like she needed to flirt just so she could keep her job. Im starting to feel like he's only with me just cause he doesn't want his partner in his job to judge him because he fell in love with his assistant. Sorry if my text is kinda confusing but i really need help. I dont know if im just overthinking this or he just doesn't care about my feelings cause he is starting to like her? He is my first relationship. I was never jealous with someone had a lot of confidence and now. I couldn't even look at the mirror. I became suicidal. I think im being immature but I need help.

Can the human gut influence someone’s mental health? What about their worldview or behavior? Mounting evidence shows that the gut microbiota plays a vital role in communication within the gut-brain axis.

2023.04.01 08:49 Maleficent-Outside23 AITA for scheduling my text messages and gift reminders?
So my daily life is kind of a mess. I manage a large number of people at my company, am constantly traveling and frequently get pulled in many directions throughout a given day. All in all, it's very easy for me to lose track of little details and forget something important because of all of this. I'm always looking for ways to use technology to mitigate these issues and be more organized.
A couple years ago, our IT guy showed me how the new iphone has a scheduling system and you can set it to automatically do things like send a text at a specific time or when you arrive at a certain place. After learning how this works, I've come to use it fairly often.
For example, I have it set so when I leave the house in the morning, it texts my secretary that I'll be at the office in 10 minutes - I leave at varying times depending on if an executive needs to call me about something before I get to the office. This helps her schedule out the first couple hours of my morning when I set aside time to meet with account reps who need me to approve budgets, sign off on proposals, etc before getting to my own meetings and calls.
I also started using it a lot in my personal life. My girlfriend really loves it when I text her in the morning and I'd sometimes get caught up in work and forget, so I started writing a personal text out to her in the evening and setting it to send out at some time the next morning, just a little note about how I hope she has a great day, wishing her good luck on a presentation she has, etc.
My mom is also a bit forgetful these days, so I'll frequently days in advance set up something like "Hey mom, hope you're having a great day! Just wanted to make sure you remember it's [niece]'s birthday party tonight at 7, don't forget to bring cupcakes." to go out to her that afternoon around 4p.
More of the same with other things, like I'll have it text my secretary a few days before a client's birthday to ask her to send a gift, things like that. Overall I think it's been really helpful.
Last week, I showed my brother how it all worked and suggested he could use it to help himself get more organized. He told my mom and girlfriend about how I use my phone to automate when I text them or send gifts, and now they're both really pissed at me. They both say they felt like I had been putting in so much effort to be thoughtful and caring despite how busy I am, but it's all just been a facade and I'm just using my phone to automate it all.
I honestly don't think that's fair. Every message I sent them is something I wrote myself. Every reminder is there because I set it myself. I'm doing this because I felt bad that I had in the past missed these details, and I feel like I'm just using the phone to help me be more organized and thoughtful. But they clearly don't see it that way and are acting like I betrayed them or something.

2023.04.01 08:46 Greensbeanspeas Am I being unreasonable
My inlaws live a few minutes away. We randomly get drive bys & unexpected stops. Most recently we saw them parked down the road & they’d called our child to see if we were home which they clearly knew we were. My fil calls our children 60-80 times a month per child & if they don’t answer we get called wanting to know why they aren’t answering his calls. They get called 7 days a week. They try making plans with our kids to do things without asking or going through my husband or I, then expect our kids to ask us for them. We cannot go or do anything as a family including weekend getaways/vacations without my fil calling the kids constantly needing to know everything. Even if fil knows our children have friends over or at my parents visiting he still calls. He’s gone as far as showing up at our children’s friends birthday parties just to see them. He acts like the parent if they’re around & ignores what we’ve told our kids. They’ve shown up at our family getaways unexpectedly & uninvited, invite themselves to things, and fil acts obsessive & possessive over our kids. When they show up and we aren’t expecting it on trips they pack our children food they’ve prepared & expect them to eat their food. My husband gave them boundaries but wasn’t overly serious about them in giving them. Once school is out they’re expecting us to let our kids sleepover once a week. My fil has also guilted our children by saying he’s sad, lonely or depressed and just wants them to come over. They’ve openly in front of me manipulated & guilted our children & gone off on me & made comments about me to our kids. There’s always an excuse for fil’s behavior by my hubs & mil/ oh he misses the boys, he wanted to see what their up-to etc. I feel like this behavior is alarming & creepy. My mom friends have witnessed his treatment towards me & think he’s a creep & stalker & question how my hubs can let him act like this. Am I being unreasonable in telling my hubs his dad needs help & blocking his number from my children’s phone?

2023.04.01 08:42 Equivalent_Fun_2701 One of the worst vacations in my life M32 F30
So my sister in law is getting married this weekend in Las Vegas so we flew out to celebrate and be part of the wedding . My wife paid for the car rental and the room, I worked 14 hrs a day for the past month and a half to be able to enjoy the weekend we brought our children both from previous relationships on the trip also. The plane ride getting here wasnt that bad till we arrived to our destination her aunt and her family flew in on the same flight which they're cool people i dont mind them at all. As soon as we get to the luggage pick up she starts aggressively yelling at me to pick up the luggage which I didnt mind but she yelled at me in front of her aunt, uncle and cousins, plus the crowd that were picking their things up also I was so embarrassed but I let it go. We get to the rental car place and she yells at me to put the luggage in carefully which im already aware of since its not our car let it go again. She starts driving the car out of the garage becuase its under her name as she's driving to the hotel I start talking with the kids pointing out places she tells me to be quiet because she can't focus, which ticked me off because she's always telling me how I dont pay attention to the road because im always distracted, when I'm driving she's always telling me to slow down or speed up or why didnt i make a turn. To be honest I get anxious when I'm driving because Im afraid she'll critize me and I'm prone to mistakes because of that. Fast forward to today we decided to get breakfast near where they were having the wedding rehearsal we're on the express way and traffic suddenly stops cause of an accident I brake a little hard but stop safely she screams at me why did i do that(mind you the speed limit was 75 mph it was a miracle no one crashed into the back of us) so I ignore her nagging at me because it's way too early and I didnt feel like arguing. A couple of minutes later a truck cuts me off and she ask me why did you brake when that car cut us off I couldnt take it anymore and told her she has alot of opinions for someone who doesnt like to drive and that I need to focus so she should stop bickering with me . She flipped out saying she should be able to ask me questions and I shouldnt be so sensitive the kids were in the car so I tried to calm down. She kept coming at me saying she can ask me a question and I tell her I don't have to answer which when we get to she demands I give her the keys to car and for me to get out of the car and go somewhere else in front of the kids. (I felt extremely bad becuase my son doesn't live with me and I dont spend as much time as I want to ) I ask her if she's serious she said yes and told me if I didnt give her the car keys she was going to call the sheriff on me for not giving her the keys and leaving. (Im a Daca recipient and cannot afford to get into trouble with the law) I give her the keys and stay in the car for a little bit not knowing what to do and to be honest heart broken earlier on in our relationship when we moved in together she would tell me she was going to leave and or call the cops on me. So I left the car and walked to a pub thank God it was open it took all of my strength not to cry while I was one of the only 3 people in the pub. I put my phone on do not disturb told my son i was ok through text and ate alone. The only time she texted me was to ask if I was going to show up to the rehearsal I ignored her message. Fast forward to tonight she refuses to see it was wrong to threaten me I was at a point I wanted to fly my son and I back home tonight but I felt bad that he would miss out on fun activities so I stayed. He text me if my wife was kicking us out I told him no not to worry. Now I found out she told everyone that they can use our hotel room to get ready at 6am everyone is going to arrive and well since I didn't apologize I get to sleep on the floor its almost midnight and I'm sitting at a table writting my thoughts to strangers because I dont want my friends to know I live like this.

2023.04.01 08:42 PrettySax3 Gunpoint attempted carjacking and guilty for feeling traumatized
(Contextual story, then request for advice at the end.)
So, like 2 or 3 days ago I was outside of my friend's apartment on the phone with him waiting for him to decide if he was coming over or not. It's not the greatest part of town, but it wasn't *too* late and I was feeling less than nervous, I was in my car, doors locked, windows up, never experienced violent crime before, etc. That's to say I wasn't feeling scared or anxious that anything bad might happen.
20 minutes on the phone pass and this white pickup truck passes me on the other side of the road and I think nothing of it. They stop just behind my car (facing the other direction) and I don't notice. I was just checking the notifications on my phone and 2 people come up to my driver-side window and one points a gun at me and says "I'll f*cking shoot" and the other says "get out of the car" and begins ripping at the door handle. I am absolutely paralyzed in fear and tell my friend over the phone "[name] there's someone with a gun. Help."
While I'm panicking, the person hits the driver's window in frustration that I'm not getting out and trying to break the window open. I hit the emergency button on my phone and the 2 people at my window got scared and ran back to the truck and drove away. By the time my friend had gotten outside, they were already gone and I was on the phone with 911. I barely caught a glimpse of the vehicle, and even in my panicked state thought to get the license plate #, but I couldn't see it.
Regardless, dispatch gets police headed in my direction and patrols out to look for the vehicle I described to them, alongside the best description I could give of the 2 people at my window. They took my statement and said that they had people out looking for the truck and they'd update me if they found anyone.
I head home with my friend (about 20 minutes) and on my way I see a police car FLYING down one of the roads. All I could think was "Get them" and commented to my friend that maybe they found the vehicle. As I'm pulling into my condo parking lot I get a call, it's the police, and they ask me to come to the scene of the end of a vehicle pursuit with the suspect vehicle to identify the suspects.
There were 4 of them. The first one I knew was the one with the gun, the second one was the other one that was pulling at my doorhandle, the 3rd I had never seen, and the 4th I thought I had seen standing by the truck. Anyways, they had me stay in my car and put each individual behind a police cruiser with a spotlight on for me to identify, and the kid that they pulled up first looked at me with this glare that screamed "I should have just killed you when I had the chance". The other 3 just looked scared, angry, and maybe (?) remorseful because they got caught.
Beyond having just been faced with the possibility of being shot and killed, I am surrounded by about 15 police cars, all with lights on, and I already have (diagnosed) PTSD and one of my triggers is illuminated emergency lights. I am absolutely panicked and freaking out.
Anyways, over the last few days, I have responded in the same ways I did when my car got stolen last month (when the carjacking was attempted, I was in a rental as my car was recovered and is currently in the body shop). I was just telling people things like, "Wanna hear something traumatic? XD" and "You want to hear something awesome?!" and then telling them what happened. I was a little bit more humored when my car got stolen and looked at it as positively as I could, with this, I still have played it off as casually as I can with some humor involved. I've had my friend over at my house since then, the same one I was waiting to pick up, and all I've done is try and put on a strong face and pretend it's okay. Every time a victim's advocate or DA or whoever calls me about what happened, I start to break down. I had a car's headlight flash through my curtains last night and I immediately feared for my life and started crying. I went out the day after the carjacking attempt and bought a gun with all my rent money, so I don't even have rent and I'm freaking out about that. I keep having flashbacks. I was curled up in bed with the blanket over my head crying and all I felt was shame for crying. I just want the flashbacks to go away, I feel bad for feeling traumatized. I keep telling myself that I'm better than this and that I shouldn't be crying and that shit happens.
My stepdad tells me it's my fault for sitting parked in a bad area of town when it was dark. I'm not saying I'm unappreciative of the concern of my friends for my physical safety, but nobody really cares what is going on mentally or emotionally except for the friend I've had over and my cousin. Everyone else has just assumed I would take it like a champ as I did with the car theft. I just keep trying to compartmentalize and forget and not feel. I'd rather feel numb than scared or depressed or whatever else. I don't know how I can even reconcile these feelings or justify to myself that it's okay to feel what I'm feeling.
To make things worse, the kid with the gun was FOURTEEN. He's literally in middle school. I sat in the preliminary hearing in court the day after the crime and asked for no bond and no contact (both granted) and I feel bad for wanting the worst for this kid for what he did to me. I feel even worse because his mom has no clue of the gravity of the situation (an immigrant from Africa and English is a second language) and kept saying in court "he's a good kid" and "It's *just* a stolen car, nobody got hurt". Like I feel awful because this is a kid, and seeing how his mom felt just makes me feel bad. The kid is already on probation and already has a record of gang activity, fraudulently obtaining a firearm, and theft. The defense was saying "Well he's in school, he's a straight-A student, and keeping him in jail could severely affect his future and his progress in therapy and school." Like, I know they're paid to say that, and defend him, but like are you fucking kidding me??
How to I let myself be okay with what happened? Any tips for mot feeling guilty over how I feel?
Side note: I can't do therapy because I don't have the upfront for therapy and the VC people say they only reimburse, so that's not an option either.
TL:DR: I was a victim of violent crime, I keep having flashbacks, I'm depressed, crying, fearful of my life, etc. and I just feel ashamed for feeling that way. I feel worse because the perpetrator is only 14 and his mom doesn't understand how bad the situation was/is no matter how the judge tried to explain it and she's just confused. I'm upset with myself for wanting this kid to have the worst punishment possible, at 14, and I'd rather just forget about it all and not feel how I do. There's no way I can justify how I feel to myself. Does anybody have helpful tips on how to be okay with how I'm feeling? Also, therapy is not an option as I do not have the upfront for it and victim's comp will only reimburse me.

So, like 2 or 3 days ago I was outside of my friend's apartment on the phone with him waiting for him to decide if he was coming over or not. It's not the greatest part of town, but it wasn't *too* late and I was feeling less than nervous, I was in my car, doors locked, windows up, never experienced violent crime before, etc. That's to say I wasn't feeling scared or anxious that anything bad might happen.
20 minutes on the phone pass and this white pickup truck passes me on the other side of the road and I think nothing of it. They stop just behind my car (facing the other direction) and I don't notice. I was just checking the notifications on my phone and 2 people come up to my driver-side window and one points a gun at me and says "I'll f*cking shoot" and the other says "get out of the car" and begins ripping at the door handle. I am absolutely paralyzed in fear and tell my friend over the phone "[name] there's someone with a gun. Help."
While I'm panicking, the person hits the driver's window in frustration that I'm not getting out and trying to break the window open. I hit the emergency button on my phone and the 2 people at my window got scared and ran back to the truck and drove away. By the time my friend had gotten outside, they were already gone and I was on the phone with 911. I barely caught a glimpse of the vehicle, and even in my panicked state thought to get the license plate #, but I couldn't see it.
Regardless, dispatch gets police headed in my direction and patrols out to look for the vehicle I described to them, alongside the best description I could give of the 2 people at my window. They took my statement and said that they had people out looking for the truck and they'd update me if they found anyone.
I head home with my friend (about 20 minutes) and on my way I see a police car FLYING down one of the roads. All I could think was "Get them" and commented to my friend that maybe they found the vehicle. As I'm pulling into my condo parking lot I get a call, it's the police, and they ask me to come to the scene of the end of a vehicle pursuit with the suspect vehicle to identify the suspects.
There were 4 of them. The first one I knew was the one with the gun, the second one was the other one that was pulling at my doorhandle, the 3rd I had never seen, and the 4th I thought I had seen standing by the truck. Anyways, they had me stay in my car and put each individual behind a police cruiser with a spotlight on for me to identify, and the kid that they pulled up first looked at me with this glare that screamed "I should have just killed you when I had the chance". The other 3 just looked scared, angry, and maybe (?) remorseful because they got caught.
Beyond having just been faced with the possibility of being shot and killed, I am surrounded by about 15 police cars, all with lights on, and I already have (diagnosed) PTSD and one of my triggers is illuminated emergency lights. I am absolutely panicked and freaking out.
Anyways, over the last few days, I have responded in the same ways I did when my car got stolen last month (when the carjacking was attempted, I was in a rental as my car was recovered and is currently in the body shop). I was just telling people things like, "Wanna hear something traumatic? XD" and "You want to hear something awesome?!" and then telling them what happened. I was a little bit more humored when my car got stolen and looked at it as positively as I could, with this, I still have played it off as casually as I can with some humor involved. I've had my friend over at my house since then, the same one I was waiting to pick up, and all I've done is try and put on a strong face and pretend it's okay. Every time a victim's advocate or DA or whoever calls me about what happened, I start to break down. I had a car's headlight flash through my curtains last night and I immediately feared for my life and started crying. I went out the day after the carjacking attempt and bought a gun with all my rent money, so I don't even have rent and I'm freaking out about that. I keep having flashbacks. I was curled up in bed with the blanket over my head crying and all I felt was shame for crying. I just want the flashbacks to go away, I feel bad for feeling traumatized. I keep telling myself that I'm better than this and that I shouldn't be crying and that shit happens.
My stepdad tells me it's my fault for sitting parked in a bad area of town when it was dark. I'm not saying I'm unappreciative of the concern of my friends for my physical safety, but nobody really cares what is going on mentally or emotionally except for the friend I've had over and my cousin. Everyone else has just assumed I would take it like a champ as I did with the car theft. I just keep trying to compartmentalize and forget and not feel. I'd rather feel numb than scared or depressed or whatever else. I don't know how I can even reconcile these feelings or justify to myself that it's okay to feel what I'm feeling.

2023.04.01 08:41 thelastbloomer Is it silly of me(m24) to reach out to someone I used to talk to.
Is it wrong of me to reach out?
I’m thinking about reaching out to a girl I broke things off two years back with, but don’t know if it would be wrong/selfish.
About 2 years back we met on Hinge, I asked for her number and we went on to talk on the phone/facetime nearly every day for about 2mo. We would talk for hours on end about everything you could thing of, I connected with her in a way I haven’t with anyone in that way since. She was one of the few people who I’ve ever hit it off instanly with. I fault myself for ending things abruptly, as I got cold feet at the idea of being in my first relationship. I didn’t want to date and she didn’t want to be “friends”, so that was the end of it. Regardless of how I tried to explain it(i.e. saying I needed to work on myself), it didn’t quite add up and I basically made a fool of myself. In reality, I chose the comfort of isolation and returning back to the sad self-victimized mess I was, over the prospect of improvement with an incredibly well rounded person who’d actually be holding me accountable. 2 years of radio silence, therapy, and many life lessons later, she’s continued to cycle in and out of my mind as much as I try to forget. Moreso now than ever, as I’ve been working to repair broken relationships over the last couple months.
Maybe I’m an asshole, just selfishly seeking validation for something that should’ve been a non-issue. That I deserve whatever shittiness I feel for putting both myself and her into that situation to begin with. Am I passed the window of reaching out to apologize, as it would do more harm than good? If so, how can I make myself forget about it?

2023.04.01 08:40 Dry_Penelope What is static IP?
 | A static IP is a fixed IP address assigned to a computer connected to the Internet, so it does not get a different IP each time it connects. The address consists of four parts, each of which can contain a 3-digit number (up to 255), and is provided by the Internet service provider. submitted by Dry_Penelope to 911S5 [link] [comments] IP addresses act as unique identifiers for devices connected to the Internet. We can compare it with our home address. Computers use IP addresses to look up and talk to each other on the Internet, just as people use their phone numbers to call wechat and talk to each other. It can also provide information such as IP addresses, hosted service providers, and geolocation data. I recommend an IP service provider, 360proxy, with high purity residential IP. The connection efficiency reaches 99% and the cost performance is extremely high, with a single IP as low as 0.04$. https://www.360proxy.com/?utm-keyword=?J https://i.redd.it/icsv1niyx7ra1.gif |
2023.04.01 08:38 saltthrow1way I (18f) accidentally stole from a huge store (aerie) and am now really anxious, what to do?
Earlier tonight I was shopping and got a bunch of bras, brought them to the dressing room to try them on, etc. I swear on my life that I didn't take off any tags, but one of those gray fancy security tags fell off of one of the bras as I was changing. I was wearing this big hoodie and there's not much room to put your stuff inside a dressing room, I had bags and clothes from other stores that I'd already bought, so everything just went in one pile on the little table and I asked my friend to kick back the grey security tag from where it fell on the floor underneath the little curtain. I chose one bra out of what I picked from the store to get, put the others back, and went to check out.
On my way out one worker, with a mic attached to her head, walked past me towards the dressing room asking if everything was okay. When I went to check out, they asked for my phone numbeemail for rewards, and both times I gave the info for a normal checkout process, the girl at the register said she couldn't find my account or info. I do have accounts with aerie, I checked and I have an account with the exact email I gave her. I paid with a credit card and walked out. One bra out of the whole group, other than the one I paid for, was in my bag as I noticed later- the one on which the security tag fell off.
I'm really stressed out right now. I recently turned 18 and I don't want to mess up my college or future over something like this. I feel like it'd be so easy to track me down even if I didn't get caught leaving the store with an unpaid-for item.
I'm thinking I should go back tomorrow and pay for the bra I picked up on accident. Does anyone have experience with Aerie/American Eagle and situations like this? Can anyone give me advice on whether or not I should do this? From what I've read, I'm seeing that a lot of people get in trouble for going back and trying to pay for items they didn't pay for initially.

2023.04.01 08:38 MussleGeeYem My 11 Year Long Samsung Galaxy And 12 Year Long iPhone Ownership Experience Story: Here Are Things The Galaxy Does Better Than My iPhone
Introduction
I have been using Samsung Galaxy devices for 11 years, with my first Android/Samsung Galaxy device being the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (got the Galaxy Nexus in January of 2012) and with me currently daily driving the S22 Ultra (since May 2022).I have been using iPhones for more than 12 years, with my first iPhone being the iPhone 4 (got the iPhone 4 in December of 2010) and with me currently daily driving the iPhone 14 Pro Max (since September 2022) and the iPhone SE (2020) as a secondary iPhone for iOS development (since March 2022).
Here is my daily driver history:

- iPhone 14 Pro Max (bought in September 2022, still using it now)
- iPhone 5 (September 2015-November 2017): my cousin's husband (55M) upgraded from an iPhone 6 to a Galaxy S6 Edge+ and decided to give his iPhone 6 to my cousin (53F) due to him preferring Android over iOS (he kept the S6 Edge+ until May 2020 when he bought the S20+ and then he gave his S6 Edge+ to me in May 2020 via mail, but between 2017-2020, this acted as his 2nd phone as he was daily driving the iPhone X/XS Max mentioned above)
- iPhone 6S (November 2017-November 2020): my cousin's daughter (17F) upgraded from the 6S to the 7 Plus, along with both her parents (55M, 53F) not only due to the family switching from T-mobile to Verizon but also due to her cracking my old iPhone 6S, which caused her parents not only to replace the screen but also the battery)
- iPhone 7 Plus (November 2020-March 2022): my cousin (53F) received my iPhone 11 Pro Max, but since the iPhone 6S fell off my bike mount a month before, it cracked, and since the battery is so horrendous on the 6S, my cousin (53F) decided to give me her iPhone 7 Plus and I decided to take the 6S to the Apple Store in Cambridge MA to recycle it
- iPhone SE (2020) (since March 2022): Even though my cousin, and later I took very good care of the iPhone 7 Plus, the phone started breaking down on several fronts: the silent switch, charging port pins, and even battery started to die hard, and plus, since the phone is getting unsupported, I started deciding on the iPhone SE. After finding out the iPhone SE 3 was $429 and finding out I could get a prepaid iPhone SE 2 on AT&T for $150 ($50 plan+$15 activation fee but I cancelled auto pay immediately after buying the phone), I got the brand-new SE 2 instead. Nowadays, the battery started to fall apart (even though the battery is currently at 93% capacity) and even though this phone is not in a beta, there are a lot of bugs even on 16.3.1 (I am thinking of updating to 16.4 tonight)
Things my Samsung Galaxy does better than my iPhone
There are many things that Samsung Galaxy phones and other Android phones do better than iPhones, including the fact that on Android:- notifications are not cluttered in the lock-screen unlike on iOS
- Android is more customisable than iOS and Android is an open-source mobile operating system
- Many new features such as reverse wireless charging, in screen fingerprints, foldable phones, 5G, triple camera setup, phablet size phones,
- there is a real back button on Android
- No need to use iTunes; you could just transfer music and photos/videos between your computer and phone without the hassle of iTunes
- Some Samsung Galaxy phones (S1-S20 excluding the S6/Note5) have microSD and older Samsung Galaxy phones have removable batteries
- Some Samsung Galaxy phones in certain markets have dual sim support, but since e-SIM was introduced, first with the Pixel 2, and later with the iPhone XS, dual sim is less of an advantage
- There are a lot of options, including the M/J series for budget conscious buyers, the A series for the average folk in many countries, the S/Note series for power-users, business users for extra productivity (mostly the Note series) and phone enthusiasts (like me), and the Z series for certain business users for extra productivity and for Flexers
- On my Samsung Galaxy devices, I could share the Wi-Fi password to other phones using the QR code; on iPhones, I could only share the Wi-Fi connection with other iPhones
- Samsung Galaxy devices support split screen view and pop up view, but these two features are restricted to the iPad, and iPhones only support picture in picture video
- iPhone batteries start to massively degrade after a new iPhone and iOS version comes out
My iPhone 12 Pro Max (I got rid of it in December of 2021 after it accidentally fell out from my nightstand drawer and the back cracked a month before) started seeing its battery fail sometime in September 2021, when the 13 Pro Max came out. Say I leave the house at 10:00 and were to return home at 19:00. By 17:00, with medium usage + hotspot, the iPhone's battery would have depleted to around 20 percent. Plus, my iPhones typically consume more battery if devices are connected to hotspot than my Samsung Galaxies are.
Also, I did receive the Galaxy S7 Edge (2019), Samsung Galaxy S9+ (earlier this month as my cousin's husband upgraded to the S23+), and the Samsung Galaxy S10+ (last year), and given that I would sell these phones on the second hand market, I would test the phones for a week or two to see the phone's condition before assessing it and selling it on the second hand market. What I found is that even though the S10+ cracked and therefore, I donated it rather than sold it, all three phones seem to have solid battery, considering their ages. The S7 Edge with its 3600 mAh battery under heavy use after 3 years would go about for 6-8 hours before needing a recharge, and my S9+ would go about for around 5-6 hours as well before hitting down to 20% of battery (that is after 5 years and given the fact my cousin's husband is a power user), and even though the S10 cracked, it would go for 8-10 hours under heavy usage before draining to around 20%. I also got back my Note5 from 2015 once my cousin's son upgraded to my cousin (50M)'s S8 Active in 2019 once my cousin upgraded to the Note10+, and even on that phone, the battery is still very good considering its age and its 3000 mAh size, doing around 4-6 hours going down from 100-20.
- My Samsung devices have proven more reliable as a whole than many of my iPhones
Fun fact, my cousin (28M) switched from the iPhone 7 Plus to the Samsung Galaxy S10+ in March of 2019 and is now currently using a Galaxy S23 Ultra. From his 4-year long experience using just the Galaxy S10+ (he bought the ceramic colour with 512GB of storage and currently his father is using the S10+), even though he is a power user with him customising the phone with themes, being a heavy user, and having cracked his S10+ last year, the phone was still extremely reliable, working fully as intended, apart from the battery, which has been shortened to 6 hours of heavy usage before dying.
My iPhones however, were not so bright. Even though pre-2015 iPhones are mostly reliable during my time using it, since the 6S, there have been some phones which have showed issues here and there, sometimes within the first year of ownership. As for the iPhone 6S, it is basically only the battery, which has been extremely bad after a year and the fact it would sometimes shut off at 30% during cold weather.
Starting with the iPhone 7 Plus however, and there started to be a lot of problems. Even though my iPhone 7 Plus didn't show any problems during my ownership, even though my cousin took good care of the 7 Plus, when I got her 7 Plus in November of 2020 (she got the phone brand new at Verizon in November 2017), the silent switch started to wear down and get stuck, meaning it is hard to turn on silent switch, the charging port pins started to wear, making it very hard to charge the phone or connect the phone to the computer, and the battery started to struggle real hard.
Starting with the iPhone XS Max and there started to be real struggles. Even though I didn't see any problems with either the iPhone XS Max and 11 Pro Max during my ownership and took good care of these two phones, when these two phones got passed to their second owners, problems started to arise. For the XS Max, in May of 2020, it got bricked, and it wouldn't turn on even if he plugged it in the charging cable or through iTunes, and my cousin's husband had to bring it to service, and that got him to purchase an S20+ given he prefers Android over iOS, and after fixing the XS Max, he gave it to his daughter (17F), who is his only child. For the 11 Pro Max however, the phone's battery drained fast and my cousin always had to rely on the charger, and plus, there are issues of connecting Bluetooth devices as well as with calls and volume whilst connected to Bluetooth devices, and my cousin always complained about these issues and even though I did attempt to fix, the issues didn't get resolved (I am tech savvy by the way, so I could get through a lot of issues, such as reset my bricked iPad using iTunes, etc.).
And now onto my iPad Pro 9.7. I bought the iPad in June of 2016, and even though I used it mostly for watching YouTube videos, Udemy and edX courses, the iPad started having a bricking issue in November of 2017. What happened was that I was charging and overnight, the iPad just shut itself off and never powered on again. I tried connecting it to iTunes and even though iTunes could recognise the device, whenever I reset it, errors keep on popping up and it is impossible to reset. I tried bringing it to the Apple Store, but they couldn't reset it either and they suggested that I replace the iPad Pro 9.7 with an iPad Mini 4 for $300. Then, I started taking matters into my own hands and finally resetted the iPad Pro successfully after multiple attempts in January of 2018. Four months later (in May 2018), the iPad bricked again, and I had to do the same process, and it took until August of 2018 after at least 5-10 tries for it to work again. And then in August 2020, whilst charging overnight, the iPad turned off and I thought it was toast. Turned out it was, as after countless times diagnosing the issues on iTunes, the iPad would keep on bricking after multiple reset attempts and after more than 2 years. Then, there was a miracle. In November of 2022, I finally got my iPad working again and I felt like I was very lucky, because I thought that the iPad was bricked forever and wouldn't go back on, ever.
Then, finally, it is my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I bought the phone on 20 November 2020, and by mid-September 2021, things started to go south for this phone. The top speaker started to fail and even though I cleaned it, the speaker was so muffled that I could barely hear anything from the top speaker. I brought it to the Apple Store and they said it is a digitiser issue and they couldn't even clean it for me, and around that same time, the touchscreen started to act up. With a lot of ghost touches, it started to become very hard to use the iPhone (and keep in mind, I have never replaced the screen since I never cracked the front screen). In October 2021, the phone started to have lose cellular signal when I enter the MBTA train and still didn't recognise cellular signal for minutes after I exited the MBTA and was at least a mile from that station on my bike, but luckily, resetting network settings did fix the issue with the cellular signal however. By the time the phone accidentally fell to the ground and the back did suffer some cracks in November, I started to give up on the iPhone 12 Pro Max and in December, I upgraded to the 13 Pro Max.
Even though my Galaxy Buds and my cousin (28M)'s Galaxy Buds did not show any issues (he bought the Galaxy Buds in March 2019 and after heavy usage, it still held up very well and he even gave it to his father), all 4 of my AirPods, even the AirPods Pro 2, have shown issues here and there. My first AirPods (January 2017-July 2018) basically stopped working, and hence, I bought another pair of AirPods in July 2018 and used it until February 2022, when I dropped it in the toilet. Even though I was using the 2nd pair of AirPods half the time (July 2018-January 2020, December 2020-April 2021, November 2021-February 2022), by late 2021, the AirPods started showing major problems. First off, the battery drains so fast even indoors that it only lasted about an hour. Then, once I am outside, the right side would disconnect after only 5 minutes of usage and the left side would keep soldering on. Once it fell to the toilet, it was game over (however, I still kept the AirPods, it is just in the nightstand sitting there, and I did clean it as well). I bought the AirPods 2 in February 2022, and after 2 months, at least once every week or two, the right side would discharge, even in the case (the case is clean by the way), until it went out of battery. I tried resetting the case and putting the case to charge again, but to no avail, and it took several reset attempts for it to return to normal. The same exact scenario happened to the AirPods Pro 2, which I got in October as my cousin wanted to gift me the AirPods Pro 2, in exchange for my AirPods 2. Except that sometimes, my iPhone 14 Pro Max couldn't even connect to the AirPods Pro 2 or even recognise it.
- Hotspot doesn't always work on my iPhones, but always does on my Galaxy
For my iPhone 14 Pro Max and previous iPhones (iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro Max, etc), personal hotspot is very buggy. My Samsung connects just fine to the iPhone hotspot, but my iPhones don't. To preserve the battery, after several minutes, the iPhone SE would get disconnected from the iPhone 14 Pro Max hotspot (which is acceptable), but it gets worse. Even if I am currently streaming Apple Music on my iPhone SE with the screen on as well, the iPhone would disconnect from the iPhone 14 Pro Max, and it is very hard to connect it to hotspot. Sometimes, the iPhone SE would say 'Unable to join network' and others, it said 'Personal Hotspot Failure', which would force me to restart both the iPhone SE and 14 Pro Max. Now the Remote Hotspot Failure started happening since I got the 11 Pro Max in 2019, and at the time, my 16:9 phone was the iPhone 6S, and even then, there were hotspot failure problems. I restarted the 11 Pro Max, but the hotspot failure would return after a week or two. Even after resetting network settings in 2021 right before my 13 Pro Max because my iPhone 12 Pro Max would lose cellular connectivity even after I exited the MBTA tunnel and I am outside a mile from the MBTA station, once I got my 13 Pro Max, the remote hotspot failure still appears. My Samsung Galaxy over the years connects to the iPhone hotspot without any issues, and would stay connected even if I am not using the phone until I basically turn off hotspot on my iPhone.
Now due to the fact connecting my iPhone SE to the iPhone hotspot is so bad, I would typically use the Samsung hotspot as a backup (keep in mind my iPhone plan gives unlimited hotspot whilst Metro only gives 5 GB). Both iPhones connect to the Samsung hotspot flawlessly, without any issues.
- On my Samsung Galaxy phones, I can disable Wi-Fi using the Quick Settings (swipe down) menu, but for iPhones, it is less consistent
- Connecting to Bluetooth devices is better on my Samsung Galaxy phones than my iPhones
- Apple Pay sometimes doesn't work on my iPhone
Yesterday, I was at the MBTA station, and I was attempting to pay for the Monthly pass. Ironically, even though the reader did work, the iPhone 14 Pro Max kept on saying 'Hold near Reader', and even though I held it near the mobile payment reader for 10-15 seconds, it still didn't do anything. Fed up, after the second time, I repaid the MBTA ticket and used my S22 Ultra and the payment did go through. However, at the restaurant around 1 hour later, even though I didn't restart the iPhone, Apple Pay finally worked again as I was able to pay my meal using Apple Pay.
- Automatic updates are better on my Galaxies than my iPhones
- Wi-Fi is far better on my Samsung Galaxy/Android phones than my iPhones, iPads, or Macs
Fun fact: the Galaxy S21 Ultra was the first phone to offer Wi-Fi 6E and not even the iPhone 14 Pro Max supports this feature
Then in July 2022, during a flight from Dallas back to Boston, my iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone SE 2 would fail to connect to JetBlue's Wi-Fi network several times and if connected, the Wi-Fi was painfully slow and near unusable whilst my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra connected to JetBlue's Wi-Fi network just fine and worked as expected, with websites loading reasonably quick, just like at my university with the S21 Ultra.
- USB C lasts longer than lightning connector
TL;DR: Even though there are many benefits to owning an iPhone over an Android device, based on my user experience, after over 11 years of using various Samsung Galaxy phones, two Samsung Galaxy Tabs, and one Galaxy Bud and after over 12 years of using various iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, and AirPods, I could safely assure that there are a lot of benefits to using Samsung and Android products over iPhones, namely due to the fact that notifications, customisation, features, options, Wi-Fi, multitasking, batteries, hotspot, Bluetooth, mobile payment, etc., are better on Samsung and Android products than on iPhones, based on my user experience.
2023.04.01 08:37 chethrowaway1234 Analysis Paralysis on Excess Income
Currently I'm stuck in analysis paralysis of what to do with my excess income. I've already followed the PF prime directive, and I'm in the fortunate position of being at the very bottom of the flow chart with $80k/year left over. Listed below are the next major financial milestones that I anticipate having:
Bonus question: What are y'all's thoughts on cashing out credit card points? I have 160000 cc points that I can cash out at 1 cpp. I accrued a bunch of them thinking I would try to redeem award travel, but I found that finding award travel is kind of a painful process. Also, a lot of my travel is fairly barebones (bum with friends, budget/economy airlines, etc) so I feel like I would have a hard time getting a good redemption rate as well.

- House purchase (1-4 yrs): Homes in my area average ~$500k, but location will probably be largely dictated by where my girlfriend lands a job since my profession is more remote-friendly. The number I have in my head is to have $170k between a 20% downpayment, closing costs, and furnishing.
- Wedding expenses (1-3 yrs): I expect to fully fund my wedding expenses. Through crowdsourcing from my friends who are currently in the process of wedding planning, it sounds like the average wedding costs around $20k-$30k, so that's the figure in my head. My girlfriend and I have also started dancing around the topic of marriage, and one of the ideas we talked about was getting a court marriage and having a nicer reception to get more savings towards this as well.

2023.04.01 08:36 Wyldfyre1 First bad pet sitting experience
Do NOT use Mutt Mutt Meow! So I met the owner and thought everything was great she seemed wonderful. They had great reviews on Thumbtack. She was supposed to start taking care of our pets today-Fri- and today she told us that she wouldn't be staying overnight, but instead her employee would, who I have never met. She did say that he was great, and she said she did tell me this, but honestly, I did not get that from her. I wouldn't allow someone to stay overnight for 2 nights while we were away that I at least did not meet. It was like a bait and switch. So they were there for a couple of hours and then they left, and then he came back at 7. He was a nice kid only 18. Then shortly after I found out he left and I called her and she said he left to get some stuff. Honestly I paid for someone to be there and so far they were only there for a few hours. Then after a tense conversation on the phone she said I was fired and she was leaving us without a pet sitter at the last minute while we were in San Diego. Not okay. She also said she cannot provide me with his personal phone number and ID. She says she runs a business yet she cannot provide her customers with her employee's information- that is ridiculous. Who would want someone in their home without knowing their phone number?! But the worst part is that she said she cares about animals but she left us without any pet sitter at the last minute and our animals are now alone. That's awful.

2023.04.01 08:34 thelastbloomer Is it wrong of me to reach out?
I’m thinking about reaching out to a girl I broke things off two year back with but don’t know if it would be wrong/selfish.
We initially met on Hinge, I asked for her number and we went on to talk on the phone/facetime nearly every day for about 2mo. We would talk for hours on end about everything you could thing of, I connected with her in a way I haven’t with anyone in that way since. She was one of the few people who I’ve ever been able to hit it off instanly with. I fault myself for ending things abruptly, as I got cold feet at the idea of being in my first relationship. I didn’t want to date and she didn’t want to be “friends”, so that was the end of it. Regardless of how I tried to explain it, it didn’t quite add up and I basically made a fool of myself. In reality, I chose the comfort of isolation and returning back to the sad self-victimized mess I was, over the prospect of improvement with an incredibly well rounded person who’d actually be holding me accountable. 2 years of radio silence, therapy, and many life lessons later, she’s continued to cycle in and out of my mind as much as I try to forget. Moreso now than ever, as I’ve been working to repair broken relationships over the last couple months.
Maybe I’m an asshole, just selfishly seeking validation for something that should’ve been a non-issue. That I deserve whatever shittiness I feel for putting both myself and her into that situation to begin with. Am I passed the window of reaching out to apologize, as it would do more harm than good? If so, how can I make myself forget about it?

2023.04.01 08:34 M3tal_Shadowhunter I'm so, so grateful for my boyfriend - but I feel so guilty at the same time.
He's perfect. He's sweet, loving, smart, funny, attractive... And he knows how to cheer me up whenever something goes wrong.
Last night while on a date with my boyfriend i got a phone call from my expwbpd's mother - ny former best friend had jumped in front of a train and was home, safe, almost unhurt, but was screaming at everyone and apparently, i was the only one who could calm her down. I stayed on the call, eventually she did calm down...
But i was miserable the rest of the day. I was emotionally withdrawn and almost absent. My boyfriend, god bless him, picked up on it and we cut the date short, going back to my place and just cuddling for a while.
I wish I didn't have this baggage. He deserves a girlfriend that doesn't get pulled away like this. Someone who isn't burnt out.
I love him. But I'm so scared that my past toxic friendship is going to end up hurting him somehow.
I haven't been able to get that out of my mind since it happened last night
