Hi,
I’ve never been to a concert before, but I really want to go to Taylor Swift (Era’s tour) when the dates in my country are announced. Do you guys have any tips how I can go and have a good time (I am aware that I will crash but in my opinion it will be worth it). Should I look into accessible seating so I don’t have to treck a mile to my seat? And if so how do I go about getting accessible tickets?
Any tips for dealing with concerts with ME/CFS will be greatly appreciated

After 15 years of living on rent because of crap builder and his reconstruction project, mom got fed up and bought a new home.
But we have to do its furnishing and she's ready to do all old traditional furnishing like unnecessary wooden furniture which occupies good space and living space is compromised.
What tips, advices will you give for furnishing kitchen, bedroom, hall appropriately.
Also what additional things you purchased which improved your living home significantly?
Thank you for reading this much :)

The deadline to hand in the assignments is this Sunday (11th of June) so I’m already starting pretty late since I have a lot of stuff to do and I’ve been procrastinating for several reasons.
For one of the assignment I have to create an Add-on that could help enhance people’s lives and or enable them to do something that would be very hard/impossible to do without it.
For this I was thinking of creating, or more like making mock-ups for an education software/app for people with learning disabilities. I’ve had this idea for quite a while now but I haven’t really talked about this to anyone yet, so I don’t have much reference as for what other people struggle with in class. There are already plenty of apps that help with organization/learning simple concepts but they’re usually very focused towards helping little kids and even then there are a lot of different apps that you would have to download separately.
To add to this they are usually made to use at home as opposed to being implemented in schools. This made me think that it would be amazing to have a software to have on your laptop/tablet that you could take to high school or university and that your teachers can help you manage as well.
It would be amazing if you guys could help me find easy things that could be implemented into such a software. Think of things that you would have killed for to have during your later education, that would’ve made your life much easier.
Here are some questions to consider:

1. How does/did your ADHD impact your education (high school/uni or even in elementary school)?
   
2. How would you want teachers/ parents to help you manage it?
   
3. If you had an app/software that would help with it what would it be like (interactive games maybe or text simplifiers, audiobooks, more readable fonts for dyslexia, etc.)?
   
4. How can a normal classroom setting be changed to accommodate people with adhd?
   

I know this post is very long and maybe even hard to understand but it would be amazing if you could help me think of something 🙏

The following vent is much more of a general vent about my life and thoughts than a vent about a specific bad day or topic. I'm going to be writing quite a bit, so if you don't have the time I don't recommend trying to read it, because I feel you should only read it if you can make it to the end of my vent.
I'm posting this because I just wanna have all my thoughts spilled over a public page. For no particular reason. Maybe people may see this and some may give advice, and while I'd definetly appreciate it, getting advice is not the MAIN reason I am writing this here. I just need to have this sitting here because it's just what my brain is telling me to do.
I have been wanting to write this for maybe a month now, but just never got around to to it until now.
First, a lil' introduction:
I am a guy, I am 16 years old and I was born in Romania and been living here since.
Ok, now without further ado, I will begin listing off the 5 main topics that have been frustrating me for the past few years.

1 My Ethnicity and Its Bullshit

I am a gypsy. More specifically a "spoitor", one of the many subgroups of gypsies in Romania.
Now, I know what you may think when reading that, but no, I am not talking about racism.
I have never been made fun of or bullied for being a gypsy.
So it's not a racism problem. Rather, it's more about the gripes I have with my ethnicity's people myself. More specifically the dumb traditions and culture and how they affect me:
-Our traditions We have so many unnecessarily trashy aspects to our traditions, especially marital ones. So basically, in most cases at least, the groom and bride's parents choose their spouses for them, or at least heavily influence their decision. It usually goes like this: The groom's parents find a bride for their son. They pay the bride's parents money for their daughter's hand in marriage for their son. So the groom and bride end up together because the parents and maybe other relatives decided so, instead of just two people falling in love with eachother and deciding to get married. Although I see that many of the new weds among my close and distant relatives are seemingly happy with their spouses, so I'm not exactly sure about every aspect. But yeah, there's arranged marriage. Now, besides the arrangement of the marriage, I've also noticed many of the grooms and brides pairs are related to some degree, usually not to the point of first degree cousins though. Nonetheless, incest is not as frowned upon in our ethnicity as you'd hope. So there's that. Now besides the fact that many marriages are arranged, and there's a pretty high chance the espoused are somewhat related, most of these marriages occur when the weds are between the ages of 12-17. So, we also got a whole lotta teen marriage. And also, they usually have kids soon after their marriages, so teen pregnancy is also common. And besides their weird obsession with early marriage, they also put so much emphasis on virginity that there's a tradition where relatives will gather at an event where the groom and bride have to have sex for the first time while a white shirt is placed under them, and one of the old relatives (I can't remember exactly which) then takes that bloodied shirt and shows it off to the people at the event to demonstrate the bride's virginity. Oh, I forgot to mention that it's mandatory only for the bride to be a virgin at the time she marries her husband, but the groom could have as many bodies as he wants by then. Which brings me to my next point: Gender inequality. And overall overbearing gender roles you're expected to adhere to.
-Our culture It's really dumb and douchey. Who would have thought? There's a great emphasis on acting grander and richer than you are, excessive cockiness and flexing, unnecesarry conflicts, a lack of education, and overall being an ignorant, insensitive, close-minded and conservative douchebag. Most of our people are homophobic, racist and very judgemental in general. They are very loud and obnoxious towards people, and lack self awareness. They never bring facts to their arguments, instead they just bark at eachother and maybe eventually fight dirty using blades, swords or axes, and over the most stupid irrelevant shit. They also have unconventional, risky jobs. And they're also way more superstitious and guillible on average than non-gypsies. Also more likely to abuse things like alcohol/smoking, and to become beggars. Many of them have improper hygiene. And the kids want to grow up too fast. I could just go on and on. But that's not really culture, it's more of a general personality and way of living.
When it comes to things like music and fashion though, we don't fare much better. Although I do have to say things like that are subjective.
And in my subjective opinion, our music and fashion sucks ass.
The music spoitor gypsies (and gypsies in general) listen pretty much exclusively to is called "manele" (it's very popular with non-gypsy romanians in general too). It's kinda like a oriental type of music with whiny melodic vocals, and there's other variations of it in other balkanic neighbours and middle eastern countries. The drums are pretty much the same in all songs, most of the manele singers sound very similar, and just in general all manele songs sound like eachother. But yeah, I just don't personally fuck with this type of music, however it's pretty much the only music my parents and relatives listen to, so I constantly am bombarded with it. Therefore I've kinda started despising it, even though I'm expected to like it too.
Music aside, my people's sense of fashion sucks ass too. Again, in my subjective opinion.
It's basically tacky ass designs and patterns, slim fitting clothes, edgy text and things like Gucci/Versce type lions and gold prints and just a whole bunch of goofy shit. Also a lot of ugly designer clothes (usually fake). It's more about the brand than the look. But yeah, overall many ridiculous patterns, eyesore bright colors, childish matchy ass outfits and overall clothes that just scream "Give me attention!!!". And once again, I am expected to want to dress like that too. Which I don't.
And how do these things affect me? Well, I am constantly expected to like and embrace/adopt their culture and adhere to their traditions too, and frankly, that's just not who I am, and attempting to be like that just gives me identity crisises and a lack of self expression. Fuck that. Trashy ass culture. It's like you took many of society's flaws and dialed 'em up to 11.

2 My Loneliness and Lack of Connections

I don't have many friends. Outside of my cousins, I'm genuinely friends with only one dude at school. And we pretty much only see eachother at school. Now don't get me wrong, he's a great guy, spending time with him is nice, we have many common interests to discuss and similar moralities. However, I would really like to connect to more people, and have a group of friends I know I could depend on to have fun and hang out with.
I mean there are 2-3 other guys that I don't go to high school with but I went to middle school with. We were friends in middle school and hung out sometimes. I'm technically still friends with them, but we haven't really been seeing eachother. Maybe only once every few months. At this point we're more like acquaintances on good terms than friends. And I just... don't feel very connected to them anymore. Like when we hang out something doesn't feel right. There was this one dude whom me and my best (and only) friend used to be a trio with. But him and my friend got into a fight once and stopped being friends. Then I was basically split between hanging out with the two separately, and eventually I kinda stopped talking to the dude. We never told eachother officially that we're not friends anymore or something, we just kinda fell out of connection with eachother, and I remained friends with my current best friend.
Yet once again, even though I do have one great friend, and a couple of nice cousins I hang out with, it just doesn't feel like enough to me for some reason.
In general, in public at least, I'm a quiet, awkward and shy person, mostly with new people, which made it pretty hard for me to make other friends. I'm introverted too, so my social battery is pretty low. Yet I don't want to be alone, I just don't know how not to be. I've missed quite a few opportunities of meeting new people and meeting older acquaintanes again, yet I was kept away from it by my social anxiety.
I spend most of my time alone, but not necessarily always because I want to.
I desperately want to have a bigger, connected group of friends to hang out with on the daily. Play fun games and record silly videos with them. Discuss personal issues and encourage eachother. Look at the stars in the night sky together and relax. But it just isn't happening, and I don't know how to get over my social anxiety and awkwardness, and it feels impossible to achieve.
I cannot hold a proper conversation with someone if I haven't known them for a while already. I'm reluctant to speak to the staff at stores or tell people on the bus that I need to get off the bus, because I keep fearing people care more than they actually do, and am afraid of judgement. I am especially awkward when it comes to talking to girls.
I feel weirdly envious seeing people hang out in large groups or having a significant other, makes me feel so left out and pathetic, like I'm missing out. I can't help but blame myself, because what else am I supposed to do?
I hate having social anxiety and a lack of social skills. It's eating away at my happiness anytime I remind myself of it.
And when it comes to my parents, well, although I'd say we're on at least ok terms with eachother, their conformation to the previously mentioned gypsy culture they try to enforce on me sours our interactions on the daily, and we just kinda have nothing in common to hang out over. And whenever I try being my true self and express my interests to them they judge me for it. So my relationship with my parents always goes from pretty alright to ohmygodimgonnafuckingleavethishouse. And through it all, I can't help but feel disconnected from them, which is so weird and kinda sad, because I felt genuine love for them when I was younger.
And when it comes to siblings, I have none.
So yeah, I'm lonely and I hate it. But actually trying to interact with new people is scary and tiring, so I hate that too. It's like an endless fucking vicious cycle of feeling depressed due to loneliness and feeling anxious due to attempting to socialize.

3 My Insecurities and Unfortunate Circumstances

I have a major insecurity: I'm a short dude. 5'5 (165 cm). I know it's not something I can change, therefore not something I should waste time and energy focusing on, but I just can't help it. When I see younger people and girls my age taller than me and I feel so bitter. It's just how my brain works. I get fucking happy when I see dudes shorter than me, how fucked up is that?
Besides that, I'm a little chubby, but I've been working on it and I'm like 6 lbs (3 kg) away from reaching my ideal weight. So that's something I'll fix, but in the moment it's still kinda annoying.
That's where the physical insecurities stop. I consider myself somewhat average to even maybe handsome when it comes to my face, just depends on the day. And I don't have problems like acne or crusty skin.
But now come some inconvenient circumstances that make feel more insecure in other areas.
One of them is my parents not wanting to accept my personal style, the way I wanna dress and have my hair cut, and it makes me feel so restricted and like I can't truly be myself. Which by the way is one of the things souring our relationship. While dressing and doing my hair the way they want me to makes them pleased, it also makes me feel opressed and disingenuous.
Another is that I don't really have my own proper room. I mean yeah, there is this room I sleep in and spend most of my time in, but it's less my room, and more just the only bedroom in our house.
So basically, this is my grandpa's fault. He had quite a huge amount of money but was greedy with it, so when he got our house constructed he only built one bedroom for all three of us (me, my mom and my dad). I slept with my parents 'til pretty late because of this, as I only started sleeping alone at the age of 9, when my parents moved to sleep on an extendable couch that becomes a bed, in the living room.
But yeah, the room I sleep is just a bed and a TV, with a closet with my parent's clothes in it, while my clothes are in a closet in the living room, the room my parents sleep in. Confusing, I know. But basically it was like it was never planned for me and my parents to sleep separately, which in turn caused the design of our house to be very inefficent and badly thought out.
I just want a desk in my room, you know? Something to put my PC on. It's currently in the living room.
Speaking of my PC, this one is partially my fault, but after having a potato PC since I was 3, I finally upgraded to a new one 2 years ago. My main goal was of course to run games smoothly. But, because I did improper research and my dumb ass thought the amount of RAM was more important than the video card when it comes to games, I got an expensive PC with a good motherboard and 32 GB of RAM, but with a shitty video card since I didn't focus on it. So yeah, there I was, new PC, but games running just as badly as on the old one because I was stupid.
I mean, even if would've had a good PC now, since it sits in the living room as I mentioned earlier I would have possibly been judged by my parents for the games I played on it, even if there was nothing inherently wrong with them.
And yeah I guess having some self-expressive posters and stickers in "my room" would've been nice too, but that's also not a possibility.
But at least somehow I guess my family got the bigger end of the stick. One of my mother's sisters (my aunt ofc), with her 2 daughters and her husband still have to live with my grandparents AND another one of my aunts and her husband, while another aunt lives in a cheap dirty apartment.
So my grandparents made a lot of money, but refuse to use it, therefore my family and my other direct relatives' families have to live in these flawed ways.
But yeah, I can't wait for us to rebuild our house eventually, so I can have my own proper bedroom and so can my parents.

4 My Lack of Productivity

Since I spend most of my time alone, in a room with only a bed, TV and a closet, I end up spending like 85% of my time on my phone.
Thing is, I have a few interests: drawing, animation, music, writing and photo/video editing. It's just that the combination of a lack of a proper personal space and minimal social interaction make me unable to motivate myself to actually pursue any of these interests or practice them as hobbies. I do doodle sometimes on my phone, but that's about as far as it goes. And I don't even at least consume content that would add to my culture, like watching movies/tv shows, reading books/comics or listening to albums. I just either mindlessly scroll through the same 3 social media apps or watch some meaningless video on YouTube, maybe even while snacking on junk food. Or maybe rub one out to porn after spending too much time picking the video.
Oh, have I mentioned that I'm also doing more poorly than ever when it comes to school and my academic endeavors? Oh, I didn't? Well, now I did. I'm not failing my classes, I'm just not putting in as much effort as I could, because it feels meaningless, but this is such a lazy approach.
So I do nothing good with my free time because of the frustration I have with other things in my life. At best maybe I'll hang out with my cousins.

5 My Overthinking Brain

Honestly, my mind might just be my biggest enemy. Pretty much any second I don't distract myself with my phone, my mind is going all out worrying about the most stupid shit. From cringing at that one thing I did years ago, to having existential crises over wondering what comes after death. From panicking about my future job and career to being overly curious to try drugs. My brain is active all the time, yet it chooses to keep on teasing me with problems I shouldn't even worry about. While I may come off as excessively negative in this rant, I actually am a rather optimistic person a good portion of the time, I just have this inconsistent mood, swinging between depressed and hopeful out of nowhere.
It makes me sometimes wish I was just dumber. So I wouldn't have to overthink anything and lose so much time and so many opportunities.
Basically my actual life is very underwhelming and boring while inside my mind I am constantly overwhelmed by the amount of possibilities and things in this world. Sometimes I even thought about suicide, but never actually considered doing it.
At this point I don't know if I may have some mental illness, and I don't know if I'll find out because if I'd tell my parents I want to see a therapist they'd either probably laugh at me or scold me then bring me to church or some shit.
So yeah. Through all these things that make me so unsatisfied with my life, I can't help but think I'm overreacting. Most of these things are pretty insignificant (I think) but there's so many of them it adds up and makes me want to just cry. But I can't. I'm emotionally numb.
And I'm tired. So tired. Physically and mentally (especially).
Just.. Just tired.
I'm tired.

looking at going into medicine but i don’t have a chem or physics gcse for a separate reason. do you need to do chem in order to go into medicine? or could i do, say, biology & maths & one other subject and still go into medicine? i’ve looked at ucl and they ask for chem & bio but i’m not sure if they’d accept anything else

My husband of nine years and I have a very unhealthy distancepursuer relationship dynamic. He tends to be aloof while I am a little needy. In our conflicts, I complain about my needs not getting met, and he takes it as criticism and shuts down, which causes me to feel worse, and the cycle continues. We have always been like this and have had a LOT of conflict because of this, but I thought he would never betray me and loved me deep down. However, one year ago I found out that he had been having an EA for the last four years.
After finding out, he cut off AP, but he was very passive about the recovery process as with everything else in our relationship. I did all the research about infidelity recovery and gave him a list of things to do including marriage counseling, an open phone policy, reading a book about infidelity, initiating regular discussions about my feelings, etc. He did none of those things, so I finally got fed up with him and we separated two months ago. He has been looking for an apartment and we have been going back and forth considering divorce. I have been asking him to at least do couple's counseling, but he keeps refusing, saying he doesn't think our dynamic will change, so there is no point.
Today he finally admitted to me the reason why he can't make efforts for affair recovery. His words were "As long as we are in a relationship, you will have more power over me because of what I did. I am just not confident to deal with those negative feelings on top of your negative feelings about other things like how you don't like my job, how I communicate, my habits, how I don't clean well enough, etc."
So I am now at a loss about what to do. As the BS I have a right to ask him to take steps to earn my trust back. If anything, he has actually lost my trust more since his EA because I've caught him lying about watching porn and he hid dinner plans with a different female friend from me after agreeing not to meet any women alone. All logic tells me to just dump this guy who has repeatedly lied to me and might just cheat on me again.
Aside from his affair, I have always felt unhappy with him because he isn't reliable in general, doesn't contribute equally to housework, has a low sex drive but watches porn regularly, has poor hygiene, and works a job with crazy overtime so I never get to see him and never feel prioritized.
On the other hand, I kind of understand his position. He has always felt criticized by me and felt like he has to try to meet my demands, and he dealt with it by placating me and then blowing off steam with AP. Now with his affair exposed, he has found himself with a losing hand. I have the trump card, and he can't win, so he doesn't want to play anymore.
I feel like the logical thing is to just end this relationship, but despite logic, I still love him, and the thought of losing him as my life partner feels absolutely devastating. We do have many happy memories together, many shared interests, and he has been a supportive and loving partner at times.
Since he has refused counseling, is there any way to actually deal with this situation? Is there anything I can do or say? Do I try to persuade him to stay? Do I just let him go? How do I know what is the best move here?

Edit: pictures of myself are on my profile. Also, I had a few women reach out to me wanting to be just friends. I'm not looking for that, please only reach out to me if you are seeking a serious relationship.
Hello there! :p
I'll try to make this short, sweet and to the point.
Who am I looking for?
I'm looking for someone I can connect who shares in my passions and world views, someone I can enjoy life with, all its ups and downs, the sweet and the sour moments. As for more specific personality traits, I really adore someone that is caring, loving, kind, respectful and open-minded.
As for appearance wise, I am not sure what to say because it really all comes down to personality for me.
Who am I and what are my hobbies/passions?
I guess I am a bit of a nerd, at least that's what I've been called a few times. Though, honestly, I enjoy doing a whole bunch of things that bring me joy. Things like playing video games, football, board games with friends, running in the park, exploring, watching documentaries on YouTube, tinkering with computers, etc.
Actually, I'll note down some specifics here, too:
- Anime (The Seven Deadly Sins, SAO, Record of Grancrest War, Angel Beats!, The Dragon Prince, Legend of Korra, etc)
- Video games (Skyrim, Fallout, Dishonored, Sims, Pokemon, CoD Zombies, Borderlands, Mass Effect and more)
- Sports (football, badminton, tennis, squash, volleyball, running, riding on a bike)
- Movies (Marvel movies, DC movies, Matrix, Daredevil, Star Wars, The Lord of The Rings and more)
As for my passions, I feel passionate about gaming, animals, technology and football - particularly the Champions League - to put it all succinctly. I understand if you don't love football or tech, it's all good, I don't expect you or anyone to be into every single thing that I am into :)
What can I offer you?
Hmmm... I can be your personal tech support, I can be your fitness partner, I can be your chef if the need arises, I can be your essential boyfriend pillow you cuddle at night, just to name a few. But most importantly, I can be your special someone you can rely on and be there for you and support you because life is hard already as it is.
Though, back tracking a little bit, I admit that I don't know too many cooking recipes, but despite that, some of my everyday dishes are quite exquisite, like my delicious strawberry jam (or Nutella) pancakes - just wanted to clarify that :p
Any deal breakers?
I only have 3 deal breakers:
- Smoker
- Does not like animals/pets
- Not child-free
With that said, thank you for reading my post :)
P.S. Did you catch my Star Wars reference "Hello there" ?

I currently have a YouTube channel which has got about 40k views and stuff.
I've also made a song which is quite good considering my age.

As a senior marketing manager for a full service marketing agency, I spent way to much time in unfruitful meetings. Meetings have their place, sure, but the owners of the company I work for have gone full on mental on meetings in my opinion. So I can't help but wonder, how is this being done elsewhere? We have:
- A Monday full team sprint meeting (letting the team know what you work on, and what you need from others) takes 2.5 hours every Monday but often goes on the be 4 hours. - A daily sprint meeting (telling, again, what you need from others on that day, and sharing what you did yesterday) takes half an hour a day. - A monthly in focus meeting about one client, with the full team. Sharing some data, focus points, successes and failures, how we change or improve our work for the client (we have 3 of them a week, taking 2 hours each). - Monthly meetings with the client present: explaining what we did for the money they are paying and what the results are. This can take half a day. - Weekly sprint meetings with some clients (takes from 10 minutes to an hour). - One on one meetings between the CEO and every team member separately (almost every week another hour).
To top things of we get a lot of meeting invites after sending mails, lets say you ask the back-end developer of a website how something works, and you get a sudden meeting invite by the CEO in order to discuss this, these things can be handled in one on one meetings, or even at the coffee machine or per mail, but again this ends up being meetings that take hours. We also have additional meetings about how we run this business, what we want to change or where we want the business to be. While I appreciate the fact that we can give our opinion on the business, almost nothing is being done with our feedback anyway, so I think we can skip those as well.
We also spent time on meeting notes, and preparing these meetings is mandatory (with full checklists made by the owners). Oh, we have had meetings about meetings as well: discussing what we think about the process of the meeting.
One more thing: clients pay for these hours, we write them in their name. So if 6 people are in a meeting discussing what we are doing for a client, when and where, then the client gets this hour charged x 6. Lets say for fun an hour is $150 then the client is paying 900 bucks to have us drink coffee and discuss the Trelloboard often this is a discussion about our own work processes.
I feel like we have more meetings than productive hours, and when a client asks what we did for the invoice we sent, I have difficulty explaining we spent 12 of the 20 hours meeting about their strategy, our processes and the checklists and trelloboards. I wonder: how is this being handled in your agency?

I'm looking for some motivated people who want to get into podcasting.
The podcast will be centered around delving into Retro Media. This includes Games, Anime, Movies, TV shows, even Comics and Manga.
An outline of a basic episode goes something like this. - Host Introductions - Banter - Media Introduction - Basic Histroy of the Media - Personal History with the Media - Reveiw (This section will be split into different portions depending on what we are talking about) -Additional thoughts -Do we recommend or no?
The time we spend with each piece of media will very but at first we will try to record one full episode per month.
Recording times will also vary depending on how much we have to say about the specific media, episodes could range from 45 minutes to 2 hours.
We will share research and hosting responsibilities. This of course means this is not my podcast this is OUR podcast. Changes in episode structure are totally open for discussion.
If you choose to be part of the podcast but only want to participate in episodes based on certain topics that's okay as long as you're motivated and ready to participate.
You will need Discord as that is where most of the communication will be done in between recording.
I'm not expecting anyone to have professional audio equipment but having at least a dedicated microphone is a must for recording, so no headset or laptop microphones for recording. Headset and laptop microphones should be fine for communicating through Discord.
We will be recording our audio separately and submitting it after recording, again you don't need to be a professional and if you have no experience with this I am willing to help you with it.
If you reach out here through a DM I'll invite you to the Discord. No actual recording will take place till at least Mid July but research and writing for the first episode will begin as soon as we have enough willing participants.
We really only need two people but I'd like to have at least four people on the podcast as that will help the conversations flow better and it will be easier to split up the workload.
Lastly I'd like to say that this podcast will be a learning experience for all of us and hopefully we can create something we can be proud of.
So if you have any interest or additional questions you would like to be answered DM me here or comment on this post.
