Put my balls in your jaws

Hey everyone! Please give me your honest advice and input on this situation.
Two or three years ago I (25M) met a handsome guy (25M) randomly at a neighbors party and pointed him out to my straight friends as a bi guy. They didn’t believe me, but later that evening we hooked up. He pulled back the following few days & weeks but we started hanging out a lot, we both made out with a female friend together and would occasionally do the same or slightly more in select situations that summer (often while drinking). Since then, we’ve become the closest of friends in all ways except physical or romantic. We’ll sleep in the same bed, spend afternoons golfing, days doing whatever with friends, but on my end there is a bubbling up of romantic attraction.
Since we’ve met, I lost a bit of weight (straight normal seems to be gay fat) and started to excel in my career and now have many options for guys— but I don’t feel like many of them fit as well as he does- at least in my perception. I bring it to Reddit (lol) because I think it’s hard to see one’s own situation neutrally.
My friend is very suave, handsome, charming, caring and so fun to be around but His downside is that he isn’t employed full time (for a few years despite having opportunity). I sense he has a bit of a confidence issue because of that. He prefers to hang out with friends at their home and can’t afford to travel (which I do a lot) but He takes care of his toddler nephew nearly full time— something that has made me see so much beauty in him because of how clearly he loves him.
I am solid enough in my own career & finances that that doesn’t really matter to me anyway at least in the short/mid term, although he is also studying and working towards getting a job in healthcare and is on a massive self-improvement kick.
Nevertheless he in the 2.5 years I’ve known him become truly one of the most genuinely kind people I know, and is very affectionate. We’re both talking about how it’s almost gardening season when we spend a lot of time in my yard working and are looking forward to it. We’ve been playing golf together at least once a week since snow was off the ground, and hang out every weekend with our friends.
In short, we have a very wholesome friendship but after multiple flare ups, I find myself once again hoping for more.
We’re both more on the masc side and in some ways have more of an uphill battle talking about our romantic feelings overall but this weekend he opened up to me about how he was in love with a man a few months ago and it got me thinking….
For other context I am the type of gay that no one’s necessarily knows if I’m gay or not- so I tell them, and he’s the type of bi only gay guys know and will go after women more frequently by chance. All the same, he tells me after parties that he’s not interested in this or that guy and is trying to be celibate and would only have sex with someone who he really has feelings for. He is so insistent I find it almost like he doesn’t want me to be jealous or concerned, but I’m not an impartial observer like you, the reader.
I’ve gotten myself into a confusing friends or friends and more situation and again deeply appreciate your time reading my full description and your advice on how to proceed.
It could be 50/50 with high stakes on either side of the odds. Let me know what you think and how you’d proceed.
Good luck on your own endeavors, thanks for helping me with mine 🥂

I(14 M) almost committed suicide a couple months ago. I lost my black lab, Princess in late June of 2022. She had a form of cancer and thyroid eye disease which is very rare for dogs. She ended up living three extra years then she would have but came to a peaceful end. We used to take long naps during the day and took long walks around my neighborhood. She was my best friend. Not only did I lose a friend, I also had something to turn to when I wasn't mentally well. It was extremely hard for me and I was hurting bad. Then in August of last year, my grandfather who lived with me my whole life died of complications of pneumonia and COVID-19. He died shortly after being taken off of life support and I never got to say goodbye. My family on my dad's side was extremely impacted and did not take it well.
It didn't fully hit me emotionally until my family was burying him. After losing two important figures in my life, I fell into depression. I didn't really see a reason or will to live. I attempted to commit suicide 4 different times within a 2 month time frame. Each time I either was caught or backed out. I ended being put into therapy and I hated it.
In November of 2022 shortly after my 4th attempt, my parents suprised my brother and I with a 8 1/2 week old puppy. I was overjoyed. However I was still grieving over Princess and was hesitant to getting a new dog. She grew on me and I finally had a new dog to love and turn to. After getting her, I had a reason to wake up every morning and had a will to live. She kept me moving and living. We do the same things that I did with Princess while creating new things to do. I still miss Princess a lot and I know she is in a better place.
TLDR; After losing a dog and grandparent, I attempted suicide. Suprised with a dog who saved ne from actually committing.

TLDR: How can I be the catalyst of my own self-betterment and limit procrastination?
I'm a junior in high school and I thought it would be a great idea to take APES and AP Psych self-study. I have one last week of march break left but I still need to cram both of the courses' contents in one month. I am beyond stressed but I find myself still procrastinating. I find one of my greatest distractors is social media apps like tiktok, instagram, etc, but even if I delete/limit them, I always find an alternative. I have autism (and I suspect ADHD as well), but I have no issue with absorbing material- It's just that I can't seem to start/stay consistent with my studies.
The issue of procrastination pertains to my responsibilities in clubs/extracurriculars as well. I actively ignore my tasks unless some one is actively hunting me down to get them done (or if my reputation is at stake). My motivation for joining those activities was either 1) out of inspiration/envy of others accomplishments and 2) university. I seldom find myself starting anything out of passion, and if I do, I end up just dropping it once the fixation of the day is over. Also, actually doing things isn't the issue, it's how I start/stop them.
Somewhat related, my anxiety has been getting worse. Everyday I wake up and there is this sinking feeling in my chest lasting throughout the day and, before my period every month, I get this feeling of extreme dread. It is so tiring to live with, especially paired with my somewhat secluded social and home life. I am afraid of most of my peers because I find it difficult to start conversations (although there are people I can connect with, but I don't really talk to them outside of school). My academics have not suffered, but my mental wellbeing has. I constantly compare myself to peers and their accomplishments I see online. I am envious, sometimes to the point of obsession, and I know I should be putting this energy into bettering myself and studying but I just don't. I consume self-betterment media and videos all the time but, other than in philosophical ways, I don't really apply their tactics.
I feel like I'm looking for a magical moment that will enlighten me on what I've missed and what I need to do in order to succeed (get good academics, connect more with peers, gain a better understanding of myself and needed improvements, etc), but I know it can't be something I wait for. How can I be the catalyst of my own self-betterment and limit procrastination?

Hello everyone. I am a 22 year old guy and I am looking for a Spider-Man RP.
So I have my own Spider-Man character who is Peter Parker in the multiverse. What I would like is for you to play a Peter Parker who is either
A) from the movies or other cannons B) other cannons or similar to canon characters
I am not saying they can't be different in ways I just want some similarities if you're different.
I want our characters to meet and then either fight a villain that is typically too strong for one Spider-Man to fight and another plot is that we fought a sinister 6 made of 3 of both of our villains collection making 6.
If we don't do that we can instead RP my Peter Parkers story being Spider-Man where we RP him fighting villains and his storyline growing up, his love life mess etc. I have something planned but the character limit.
Some things I require from partner
Be over 18 Be semi-lit Be interested (and show it) Know Spider-Man Talk OOC Looking for someone to RP as males
Let me know if you're interested

Hey, 19f UK, super bored rn and am trying to talk to new people more often, I love art, reading, horror and folklore. I am down to talk about anything though (don't be weird, obviously). I'm not very good at writing these introductory passages so just take my word for it that I'm a decent conversationalist. Also looking for new music to listen to if you need a conversation starter.
In regards to music I like Xiu Xiu Lingua Ignota Goblin Burzum Death Grips and other experimental stuff, as well as most fame indie bands.
I'm also an avid player of the sims, an animal lover and a collector of strange objects. Excited to meet some cool people (age/gender do not matter to me, and I'm definitely not interested in dating so, don't get your hopes up. I'm sure there's other subs for that)

Hi there!
It has been a long time since I have advertised with Google and I am going into it again.
From an European viewpoint, I need to abide by the GDPR, and from what I understood, any kind of cookie/analytical 3rd party that could personally identify a visitor (IPs matter), I should put them under a banner that only when explicitly accepted, I allow them to run at all.
I totally understand that but, as you probably know around here: - you lose the information of the biggest majority of your visitors - because they end up not accepting anything or just closing it (so you don't even have Analytics)
- you don't have information on tag manager to understand how are your ads really doing
So, am I missing something or advertisers totally in the dark at the moment?

Would prefer west players. Southernmost would be Karnataka, easternmost would be NCR and northernmost is Himachal. My squad needs players who plan to grind the next season.
1) Please have a hero pool AKA don't be limited in ideas.
2) Vc is a must. Will not tolerate dumb mfs. We need to hear your thoughts.
3) 3 slots are currently empty in the squad but I plan to kick some players.
4) Since the new season is coming up I do not care about your rank. Honestly being positive and regularity is enough.
DM me if interested.

So, I’m an avid anime fan, and something I see a lot of the time in anime series (aside from superpowers, 4th wall breaks, and various emotions from heart warming to heart breaking) is the concept of some character being so strong, if they attack you (we’re gonna say because they’re having a bad day or something..) your outfit gets near completely obliterated.
Now, usually an anime where this happens usually tries to explain away why the “victim” still has some pieces left, or how it magically repaired itself. That’s fine, but my question isn’t about that. What I want to know is, how strong ARE these people to have been able to do something of this caliber, and how is the victim coming out unscathed with the exception of their clothes?
(To be honest, I would like this to be an actual style theory, so I’m putting this comment here in the hopes that MatPat sees this..)
I have to admit, I don’t really have a completed theory on the exact details, but I’m thinking the amount of force required might vary depending on the materials used.
As for the victim surviving, I’ll leave that up to either the comments, or MatPat himself. (Hopefully both..!)
Anyways, thanks for reading, and somebody please show this to team theorist if you want a great new style theory video! ¡Adios!

I’d like to share my resume for feedback as I’ve applied to many marketing related jobs online and nada, zero call-backs, or interviews!
From reading some feedback already posted on here, I realize that having spent time making my resume look ‘aesthetically pleasing’ hasn’t worked in my favour when applying to jobs online, due to the ATS software. - Now I am sure (hope) that at least one or two humans must have taken a look at it, but something just isn’t working, and I think I’ve figured it out BUT I need someone to confirm this or give me a better piece of advice before I alter my resume once again.
So I have an Associate Degree in Business and Marketing and my BComm majoring in Marketing. (2016 and I finished my degree finished in 2022)
On my resume I’ve included awards and recognitions from a marketing completion and projects with a lot of success. I include tabs listing skills and tools I’ve worked with in school or learned to used on my own time. I also include a link to my portfolio that includes previous school projects and also personal hobbies like photos I’ve taken travelling and a blog I recently started.
So far, it all sounds alright, right?? Shows my educational background, my creative side, and ability to put a portfolio together and reformat previous projects to show I am proficient in the skills I’ve listed… you’d think I’d get SOMETHING… that someone in this world would find me interesting enough to bring me on board or at least hear my ideas?
So here is what I think the problem is. Over the last 10 years I’ve worked in hospitality. Most recently had the social media manager role in one of the restaurants I worked at ( included on resume) BUT I have failed to include ALL of my other previous experience in hospitality as a server and bartender at all the other establishments. Something that on a resume, can create and gaps and red flags for the recruiter.
On my most recent attempt I have yet to include my restaurant experience but o included a cover letter on the application that talks a bit about it… and still no luck.
——————-
So I am now, I willing to take a step backward and reformat my resume to single column and leave the creative mumble jumble for one that I’ll have on my portfolio.
But I guess my biggest question is whether I should include more of my hospitality experience and HOW to go about it?!
My mentality before was that if it wasn’t a corporate role, hiring managers do not want to hear about it, but I am starting to think that until I have had the opportunity to land my first actual corporate job in the marketing, creative or management department, they probably want to hear about my other experience.
So is this information relevant to hiring managers? Thank you to anyone that takes the time to provide some feedback on this matter.

We adopted a puppy, they estimated he’s 3-4 months old. According to the shelter, he’s been great with their dogs. I even watched him play with them, he was great about being handled, no good aggression, was great with my kids (aside from the normal puppy over excitement).
We’ve had him a week now and I’m seeing behaviors I’m not 100% sure how to handle. He goes through spurts where he gets this bug up his butt and he attacks my German shepherd if he won’t submit to the puppy. I separate them when this happens, the puppy gets put in a different room or outside. Is there something else I can do, or something else I should do? This isn’t just frustration, or me exaggerating play, it’s an out for blood won’t let go of my dog attack. If it weren’t for the sheer size of my Loof, the puppy would be doing serious damage.
The other issue is he gets territorial with the kids. He puts his paws in your lap for ear scratches. If one of my kids comes over during this, he nips them in the face and growls at them. Can this behavior be changed? He shows no other aggression with them outside of refusal to share my or my husband’s attention with them.
