2023.03.26 14:48 hug-a-cat What's a "normal" amount to get yelled at by your partner? [34M/34M]

Tl dr - my partner yells at me when he's pissed off, and im not sure at what point it stops being normal and starts being an issue.
This probably sounds like a ridiculous question, sorry - I know I'm in my 30s and I shouldn't need to ask shit like this but I have very little experience of healthy relationships, romantic or otherwise, so sometimes it's hard to judge what is/isn't normal.
My partner and I are engaged and living together, it's a really great relationship overall but when we have an argument (or if he's just generally pissed off about something) he tends to yell and swear and stomp around and stuff. In general he's a pretty loud, animated person whereas I'm softly spoken and never really raise my voice, so the yelling is partly just what he's like. He's not swearing at me as such - it's more like "for fucks sake" or "why the fuck did you do that" kinda thing. We don't argue that often so it's not like it's happening all the time.
I have mental health issues due to a lot of past trauma and I'm extremely jumpy. I don't cope that well with people yelling. Typically I'll either dissociate or hide away somewhere and panic. In the moment, when someone yells at me it feels like I'm going to get hit (my current partner has never done that to be clear) and I guess I visibly brace myself which sometimes pisses him off more because he's like, why tf would you think I'm going to hurt you. Logically, I'm genuinely not concerned that he would hurt me, it's just an automatic response.
After he cools off he always feels guilty and is very apologetic and concerned but tbh I really don't find that helpful and I'd rather not deal with it which I've said. We had an argument last night and he's in that phase now, it's kinda stressing me out. To give an example of the kind of thing he typically gets pissed off about, the argument yesterday was about me pushing myself too hard physically when I've recently lost some weight (I'm in recovery from an eating disorder and I'm still underweight, it's hard for me to gain weight and the amount of exercise i did yesterday probably wasn't ideal). It came from a place of concern.
I'm definitely not saying he's not allowed to be annoyed with me or whatever. I'm just not sure what level of yelling at your partner is normal and expected, like do I just need to get better at tolerating it? Volume wise, he's loud enough to be heard by the neighbours. He does go to therapy and his tempecommunication skills is a big part of the reason for that. He's definitely made changes from how he used to be and part of me thinks this is just me struggling to deal with something that's actually completely normal.
Any advice anyone can give would be appreciated!

2023.03.26 14:48 restofme 2 weeks post lip lift w/ Dr. Mascaro

My scar is undetectable. I’m not exaggerating. I’m screaming with joy.
From day 1 I couldn’t even see the incision or sutures (he used clear thread), especially under the antibacterial ointment. On the day of suture removal I expected to be able to see it. Nope. I had a few tiny dots of barely-there holes from the stitches but that was it. They healed up in a day.
Now that I’m 2 weeks out and no longer putting Vaseline on the “scar” my mind is absolutely blown. When I decided to get this procedure I had prepared myself for that classic red LL line, which would eventually fade into a pencil thin white line. But that’s not the case?? I have nothing. No redness. No line. I used to have some broken capillaries and natural redness underneath my nose that was excised out. The base of my nose looks better now than it did pre-op.
Dr. Mascaro is an extremely gifted surgeon. I am so beyond happy I went with him. He was worth every penny and more. From what I’ve seen of other well-known LL surgeons who charge almost twice as much, Dr. Gary Linkov and Dr. Ben Talei, it looks like their patients all have visible scarring afterwards. Dr. Mascaro is the only doctor whose patients sometimes have an undetectable scar. I am one of the lucky ones. (Anatomy also plays a part in this).
For the next few weeks I will continue to be careful not to strain the lips. The scar could still get worse at this stage if I push it. But I could not be happier right now.

2023.03.26 14:48 AzuraScarlet Boyfriend doesn't have as much fun with me as he does with his friends

So, me(25) and my bf (29) are in sort of an LDR. We only meet twice a month in both our home city.
Since, I don't really go out much, he is the only person I hang out with on weekends when I am home. Mainly because most of my friends don't live close by.
That is not the case with him and he has got all his friends here. Friends from his football club, from his neighbourhood, and one close knit group he never misses to hangout with.
Now, I kind of want to spend atleast a few hours on either Saturday or Sunday whenever I am home with him because the next time will be after two or more weeks.
But he doesn't live far from his hometown and vists every weekend unlike me.
Sometimes he is so busy hanging out with his other friends that he suggests meeting the next time I come or simply doesn't call to arrange a meet-up.
We generally talk daily but it seems he forgets about me whenever he is around his friends. Once he told me that those guys were there before me and will be there after me.
And it kinda hurts. Because I prioritise him over a lot other people and over my friends. Ther have been a lot of times when I cancelled plans with my friends to hang out with him.
Once on a long weekend I asked him a month in advance if he wanted to go somewhere like a trip or something because he had wanted a weekend gateway for a while. He didn't properly answer me and gave the excuse that his brother's wedding might happen around the same time. But that wedding shifted a few weeks earlier and he made plans with his friends for that weekend.
I felt betrayed and cried about it to him which basically ended badly because he doesn't like when I am too attached.
I told him to visit me and he did. I visited him too last weekend. Everything was happy and cool but the meet-up kinda saturated him and then he didn't even call me up like he does every night.
I know I am being childish in wanting him all to myself and it's not his fault I don't have other people to hangout with. But I want to spend the time I have here with him. I don't just want to see him once in a month.
I even tried getting transferred near him so that we can see each other more often. But I feel so angry when I don't feel him giving the same amount of effort.
He enjoys a lot more with his friends than with me. He even told me that he couldn't enjoy as much on a trip we went together on with his friends because he had to look after me. And hence he hesitates to take me anywhere.
I felt embarrassed and like a burden. I didn't know anyone on that trip so obviously I stuck with him everywhere. I felt so bad and hurt when I found out that he couldn't enjoy because of me.
But I still want to hang out with him and go on trips. I don't want to be a person he just has sex with.
And it just kinda hurts a lot.
I don't know what I am trying to achieve by posting hmit here but I guess I wanted to rant somewhere.

2023.03.26 14:48 Comprehensive_Mix307 AirCover didn't properly cover me, what next?

I reserved a listing for the night of March 25. On March 24, the host cancelled on me (and called me to try to get me to cancel so she wouldn't be charged, sooo sus), and so I called Air BNB the night of March 24 to get me a new place and properly do so via the platform. Eventually the host cancelled the day of my check in (March 25) , and I waited from 8am until 10pm that night stranded thinking Air BNB was going to rebook me. They actually refunded me when the host cancelled, but there were no listings left with such short notice in the area and criteria I needed at the price that I paid. By 5pm there were only like 3 suitable listings left (smaller city). I had told them the night before to do a hotel if it came to this. At any rate as mentioned I only got their level 1 agents on the phone for most of the day, who kept saying "someone is already working on this", and that went on from 8am until 10pm with ZERO resolution. That person never got in touch with me. I had a 3pm check in originally and here it was 10pm.

Finally someone messages me and sends me listing options, the only 3 left which had dwindled to two. They told me I had to message these people. I explained that they should be doing this work for me because it is not only money that needs to compensated in situations like this, it is time. I had events all day of the 25th and already put in the time and money to find the place. To make guests spend hours searching and waiting for responses again is the same as making them spend money, because both resources (time and money) were already used up on the first listing. I had no more time to search for a place and wait for responses, and on top of that, it was 10 PM! I explained to them that it was already past my bed time and past time for me to be checked in somewhere safe and sound and it was ridiculous that they were expecting either me or hosts to be having pleasant conversations about a reservation for that same night at 10PM on a Saturday night. As expected no hosts responded to the messages.
I reiterated over and over "why did you wait so long to help me!? I've been without a place the entire day!" and "checking in now would only be half a day of stay, there should be a credit towards an additional stay at this point" and "why don't you just get me a hotel!?" at which point the rep said "Hi,my shift is ending and I will be transferring you to a new agent" who did not resume conversation until well past midnight.

I don't need to elaborate on how unacceptable and frustating and simply ethically wrong this is when AirCover's terms guarantee guests to be re-booked in same or better listings on the night of their stay. In my book, once it is past midnight, that day is OVER. I never ssaw any messages past 11pm because that is too late to be accomplishing something that should have been accomplished before 3pm. That day is over. They failed to cover me by check in, by 10pm and by midnight, so in my book AirCover did not cover me. And when I woke up this morning after crashing in my car because I had to get to sleep to be up early for an event today, the messages were the agent sending me options at 1am for listings that were all over 45 miles away. Were they really expecting me, at 1am, to message these people, have them respond, go back and forth, get booked and then travel 45 miles to get to bed by 4am to be up by 6am and consider covering that to be an adequate makeup for ruining my entire day and failing to provide me somewhere to be in bed by 10pm?

I am so astonished. I feel that the terms of service were broken because Aircover guarantees rebooking for the same day. I feel they owe me a complimentary booking or two. I'm not sure what to do and would like ideas. I cannot believe this company that was giving out $100k to dozens of OMG Fund recipients did not have the budget to have an efficient customer service team.

2023.03.26 14:47 fattcoke Bloodborne is better than DS3.

(Labelled "meme" because there wasn't anything else, this is a rant.)
Parrying? Forget about parrying in ds3. Not even iron round shield, buckler or caestus will help you. Just forget about it. Parrying in Bloodborne? You can do it whenever you feel like it. You wanna rip some guys guts out? Parry that damn zombie and do it. Easy to do, and you can do it whenever. You want to use ranged weapons in Ds3? Spells. You don't want spells and wanna use bows? They suck and require arrows. Bloodborne? Just get repeating pistol and BAM BAM BAM your away through enemies. The beginning of Ds3 is slow and it takes time to get the weapon you want? You literally get an option of one of 3 weapons of your choice in Bloodborne, + one of two guns.
Status effects? The only dangerous one in Ds3 is curse. The poison and toxic is completely negligible because of its pathetic damage. You also can't avoid it because it builds up in 5 seconds of standing in Farron Keep swamp and lasts for 10 hours? Bloodborne? It builds up real fast and it kills you real fast. You have to antidote if you want to live. Instead of having it just build up with no way of avoiding it, you actually can avoid it by dodging the enemy attacks that apply it. It actually engages in you in paying attention to poison instead of just having "poison" as some annoying bar in the middle of your screen.
Have to bonfire whenever you run out of Estus? Not anymore. Enemies literally drop vials. You can clear Central Yharnam 10 times over and still have vials and health. Ds3 has infinite number of upgradable statistics, which isn't a bad thing, but Bloodborne having way fewer does it make it like a breath of fresh air from 10 billion numbers loaded onto your screen whenever you check your Status. You don't want to be locked into one type of weapon? Bloodborne literally has two separate weapons in each single weapon.
The story? You don't know what the hell is going on in Ds3. Bloodborne? It's pretty easy to tell that there is thing called "the night" where civilians lock themselves in, monsters appear and hunters go and kill the monsters, so you aren't just running around killing everything that moves and instead knowing what you're doing and why everything is happening. Bloodborne's level up lady is better than ds3's because accent.
Okay ds3 did a better job at letting the player be free and fully customise their character to whatever they want and also better bosses. But apart from that...

2023.03.26 14:46 1020_1049 I'm planning on leaving my family soon

As I'm writing this I hope I don't chicken out the last minute but as of the moment I'm already looking for cheap rentals/bedspaces and submitted an application for student loans and allowances, I'm also job hunting. (I will change some details to this story for precaution because I don't know if they use this) So I 20F am a university student, I live with my extended family since both my parents are not present with my life, and an older sibling is present too.
It's the typical black sheep of the family type of sob story. All kinds of mental, verbal, and sometimes physical abuse from them. My guardian is a religious narcissist that blames all the problems I've experienced due to me not "praying", from being molested by a family acquaintance, the abuse I experienced from when I still lived with a parent, the severe bullying I also experienced in highschool (like the cliche ones in movies where everyone was turned against me, sexually harrased, stalked, death threats, physical torment too), and my sibling whose so far up their ass that they deny the favorable treatment they experience, that also stated that everything I went through was something I deserved.
So today an incident occured, I made a mistake and accidentally knocked over a glass and it broke, I admitted to my fault, apologized and offered to replace it but apparently it was a bit sentimental to my guardian and well it ended with them slapping, hurting, and screaming at me. Because it was so important they threatened to cut me off, my education, and send me back to an abusive parent from before (they always threatened this but I think they're very serious this time and even if they're not, I just can't take it anymore, walking on eggshells and every little bit of my actions are scrutinized, did I also mention my guardian often jokes about killing and burning me lol) So basically today... I just snapped
I don't know why but I just kept on laughing, and of course they got mad at this so they kept slapping me some more but I didn't feel it anymore. I had already been diagnosed with an emotional detachment disorder and today, right now, at this moment I just don't feel anything anymore.
Back then I used to feel bad because a lot of them depended on me a lot on doing chores and maintaining the house, and because they do fund my education because my parent basically left me for dead I felt like maybe everything I am experiencing is something I deserve, but no matter how hard I try, how hard I work, nothing was ever enough for them.
Additionally, I mentioned my sibling earlier with the preferential treatment, when they make mistakes the same way I sometimes do, when they're screaming at them, does all kind of bad shit, at one point they even stopped going to school and often flunked out but the guardian we're with often just coddles them and instead of taking their anger out at them, I receive it doubled. I've gotten used to being called a good-for-nothing, useless piece of shit, that also gets threatened with killing me in my sleep with a smile(apparently a joke) by them lol (its not like i didnt try offing myself either, everytime i tried to jump to a bridge, cut myself, drown, etc. Some way or another there is either a person or circumstance that gets in the way)
So now, I've run out of options. It seems like the universe is quite adamant on making me live but does not want to give me a break. Not necessarily asking you (users) for advice on not doing this anymore, the whole hooha on just "praying" or just keep it in you're almost out of college whatever ( I already gave up on God when he didnt save me from sexual assault or just "enduring" it was the same advice I received from a guidance councelor at school when I was literally beat up everyday at school)
Either all this...or maybe i feel like ending it all lol. I know my experience is literally so cliche and people have it harder than me, and I'm sorry I'm weak but for the last few months I'm just not feeling... up for it, or for everything. I'm just so tired of the constant battling, all the advice i give to myself back then saying i could endure it more Right now i just dont feel like i could, and right now (maybe its because what happebed was still raw and my emotions are all over the place) but i literally just want peace
Im sorry if this is unclear, I'm actually not sure what I need to hear or do right now

2023.03.26 14:46 JusticeForDada Orlando Health's Negligence and Carelessness

Hi everyone, we would like to share our story in the hopes that perhaps other people can come forward as well as a warning...
Our loved one—an amazing husband and caring father—was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer in 2021 and recently passed away March 2023 because of their reckless negligence regarding his treatment throughout this nightmarish journey. After he underwent radiation treatment for his liver in January and February 2022, he was never put back on chemo right as per his previous oncologist’s plans. His new oncologist blatantly disregarded the plans and claimed it was to seek out surgical options. We were led down a false hope, as he got rejected from colon surgery.
The next supposed option was liver embolization and recession. The surgeon in question at first said that he was eligible, and even had appointments set up for the procedure to be done. They also took a month and a half to get the appointments together—with still no treatment whatsoever.
We had reached out many times regarding our concerns that he was not receiving treatment in the meantime for the past 3 months, but his nurses blew us off, took their time replying if they ever did, while gatekeeping for the oncologist and told us to wait for the next appointment as if the disease would wait patiently for our next move. This appointment obviously never happened because as a result of the absence of continued treatment, it got aggressive and spread to his brain in early May 2022 that sent him to the hospital, where surgery was not only impossible but ended up in the most fatal part of the brain. This was when the liver surgeon suddenly told us that he was never eligible in the first place despite telling us otherwise earlier, and that our loved one would have died on the table. The inconsistency of the surgeon’s plan to treat was unprofessional and unclear; either he was willing to risk our loved one’s life by doing the surgery or he was just a liar from the very beginning and charged his mind to protect himself from repercussions if he proceeded with the surgery.
Then later, on Christmas Day 2022, he went to the ER at Health Central due to sudden recurrence of his brain tumor symptoms. They told us there they somehow did not have the proper basic equipment to do a clear MRI w/contrast, so they did w/o contrast and erroneously diagnosed the swelling of the brain due to the radiation treatment he received in May 2022. There, for a total of four days, not only was he deprived of solid foods without any proper explanation, but he was pumped with IVs bag after bag after bag. They did not consider the condition of his liver due to the cancer and gave him IVs back to back as though he were a healthy individual. As a result, he developed debilitating ascites caused by irreversible hypoalbuminemia from the excessive IV fluid injections. No doctor came to visit until the last day of his hospital stay, where we ultimately demanded that he be discharged. Ultimately, he was neglected until about 2 weeks later when he had his MRI w/contrast and then a follow-up appointment with his radiation oncologist about a week later. It took another month to get a specialized MRI to see that his condition was not due to swelling, but the brain tumor had grown again. All that time, he was left with no sort of treatment to at least control the swelling until we could confirm the cause of the symptoms. She had no plans to treat him whatsoever until after the fact.
Fast forward to between late 2022-early this year 2023, Orlando Health took their sweet time starting up an expanded access trial we introduced that would have had the potential to save his life. Their abhorrent treatment of him did not end even with his passing; as his surviving family, we were shoved into their “family room” with no elaboration of the situation. After waiting and waiting, we were called up and we were NOT even warned of what tragedy was waiting for us. No words of condolences, no “we did everything we could”—nothing. They shoved us into a room alone, where our loved one laid. Had we not asked for the doctor for an explanation ourselves, we would have never gotten any sort of attention. This was perhaps the most heartless, cruelest way to tell a loved one’s family that they had passed on. They have caused undeniable psychological trauma by doing this and disrespected him for the last time by inflicting this damage upon us—his family. To add further insult to injury not even an hour after our world was flipped upside down, shortly after we arrived home, they had the audacity to call us to see if we were okay with them harvesting his corneas. Even now, Orlando Health alongside his healthcare providers have yet to offer us their words of condolences to our family’s loss, but were quick to ask if they could remove his eyes. All that our loved one suffered from the very beginning has resulted in undeniable physical, psychological, and spiritual damage to our family and loved one’s that can never be forgotten nor repaired. So, if you value your own time, sanity, and the well being of your loved ones: AVOID ORLANDO HEALTH AT ALL COSTS!!!

2023.03.26 14:46 InvisibleAngst Sometimes I have to switch the PC off and on at the wall outlet (or PSU button) to make it start

So I have been having an issue with my pc since around the 31st of january, the issue did not occur before.
Sometimes when I try to turn it on it lights up and the fans go on for a second and then it turns off. The first time it happened I switched it off and on at the wall outlet and tried again and it worked fine. It runs fine once on, has never turned off while I am using it. It only occurs when I press the power button. If i don't turn it off and on at the outlet after it has blinked it doesn't respond at all. It has gone on once when left for a while though.
I have unplugged and replugged everything into the PSU, restarted it a bunch and it was fine for about a week no issues and then it happened again. I have no idea what is causing it. The PC is not too hot and everything seems fine visually. I have updated all of my drivers too in case it was a software issue. The motherboard is supposed to beep if there is anything wrong and it isn't.
I have read other things online where this has happened and people have replaced the PSU but the issue continues and then has randomly fixed. So I don't know if it would be the PSU.
I guess one solution is unplugging things to try and isolate the issue but the thing is the PC starts up and shuts down fine when turned off and on close together. It is usually if it is left a while.
Has anyone else experience something like this? I really have no idea what to do.
Other information that may be relevent:
I got a new keyboard on the 31st for my birthday, I think it is a coincidence the issues started then but it is an american keyboard rather than a UK one.
I think around this time I did switch the pc off at the wall could this have maybe started the issue?
Lastly, sometimes my desktop screen blinks black could it be the GPU? This might be a seperate issue entirely.
- I am planning to get another PSU to test just to rule that out but I am sceptical that is the problem because of posts I have read where people have expeirence similar issues.

2023.03.26 14:45 Informal_Nature5 I need your opinion because I'm kinda losing it... Is this labyrinthitis/vestibular neuritis

Your opinion after a worse ENT experience
Male, 29, 75.4kg, 178cm tall.
Dear readers,
Would like to have your opinions. Last week I had an unpleasant experience with an ENT doctor I was assigned to. Online I already read bad reviews, but the GP currently had no other way because the complaints are not "urgent". Just have a background in an anxiety disorder (unfortunately due to a medical blooper). Below my pattern of symptoms with dates. My GP suspects labyrinthitis and vestibular neuritis and from the ENT I have heard nothing, but no word. Not even a hello was possible. Also, the man would not listen or read to my kept diary. He did complain that he finds it annoying that people always come in thinking they have Meniere's when it is a rare disease. Now I have been referred for an audio test, hyperventilation testing and a balance test. Why? Really have no idea. I have unfortunately received 0 explanation and hope that possibly someone can give me something of a direction as to what happened (now virtually symptom free) or why I may still be getting these tests. Currently I am quite sad about the whole situation after all, as my wedding is in 2 months. My pattern of complaints:
The start
Jan 26/27 Sickness (nausea, fatigue, abdominal pain, tightness in the chest etc,) Jan 30 A very brief spinning dizziness. Lasted less than a minute when I turned over in bed. Thought BPPD then, and so did an Epley in bed. The week after I was not completely fit and kept feeling the dizziness from time to time for example with intense exercise, darkness, watching screens or moving objects, also hearing was dull. Didn't think anything crazy of it and just kept on doing everything. Afterward the symptoms looked like a milder or emerging version of the symptoms after the first attack.
On Feb. 9 I had a severe vertigo attack. I had to rush to a friend's house on my break. On the way there I started wobbling more and more and at his house I felt worse and worse. Then I quickly walked home and at home the whole room started spinning. As if I had turned myself up on a swing as a child and then lifted my feet off the floor. I stumbled to the bathroom because I was getting more and more nauseous until I threw up. At first I stayed standing with myself wedged between the two walls, but later I thought it would be smarter to sit down. I emailed my friend that she needed to come quickly and I wanted to see the doctor. After the attack, I was very dizzy and very shocked by the incident. I had started consulting Google because the doctor didn't have time until very late due to the rush. That's where I first read about meniere's and got very worried (very stupid to Google too with an anxiety problem). During the phone consultation, the doctor mentioned that it was probably an inflammation of my inner ear, labyrinthitis.
The weeks after the attack I really had to walk with my friend on the arm for a while in the beginning because of the dizziness and instability. Like the weeks before the attack, I heard everything dull with the left for a while, then tinitus. I also sometimes felt like something of a little fluid was leaking out. In fact, when I walked outside the left felt wet when wind came in. Mental I was still very confused and had little concentration and had a twitching ear muscle (or something?) for a few days. As the days went by I gained a little more confidence and walked larger and larger distances and picked up my work from full again. I also went back to full exercise, calisthenics and started drinking booze. With the wedding planner, things turned very briefly again like the all first incident. I stayed calm and knew that crowded, dark spaces could trigger symptoms in the weeks following the attack.
The symptoms did persist so I sent the doctor to see if it was wise to do everything like this and if there were any physio exercises to create faster stability and speed up the plasticity against the dizziness. However, I was also advised if it persisted to stop by the practice.
On Feb. 27, I went back to work hard in the evening. Worked out for 2 hours after a full day at work and made late with booze the weekend before (stupid). Did a lot of hanging upside down during the workout. Through stretching and handstand push-ups. In the car back my left side started getting all denser again and once home the dizziness started getting worse. At one point I had to go to the bathroom again from nausea. It wasn't spinning like the swing metaphor, but more like being drunk or something. With movement of my head I became nauseous. This moment lasted about 1 to 1.5 hours then I was back in the shower.
The following days I was quite upset. It did not feel like I had to "rehabilitate" as much as after the turn attack. I told my friend again that I felt like some fluid was leaking out again. I remained slightly dizzy, which I was more affected by especially in the evening. Especially mentally I was/am going through a lot of uncertainty and anxiety. I always said my head is my biggest enemy and now it felt like I had lost a battle. I stopped working again and with sports I focus on walking and cardio. Not on calisthenics. The stress and anxiety were very high. But at this moment I am trying to focus on rest.

By writing this journal, I actually found more peace because everything reads like the stories of labyrinthitis. Not that I took it to articles, but wrote it based on my (whatsapp) conversations with my surroundings and work. Also, my ear still continued to leak slightly after visiting the doctor. Dizziness subsided and now notice it mainly while getting up and later in the evening. It also seems to stick out more in crowded environments. Sometimes I thought I was going crazy that it felt like my ear was leaking. So 1 time I had my girlfriend check it to see if it was wet. This she was able to confirm (yeah, I'm sorry for her). Besides leaking, my girlfriend mentioned once that my ear was all red and warm. That it almost felt heat coming out of it. The other side was just normal and not coming from outside or anything like that.
March 6
Today the dizziness subsided more. Still briefly felt some pressure and seemed to have some fluid coming out again.
March 7
Today the morning starts a little heavier and feels a little full. 10:23 and it feels normal again. Hour later fulllig again and between noon it seemed to leak slightly (like a trickle was leaking or something) then the pressure decreased. 17:00 Pressure is completely gone again. Ear continues to feel a little wet.
March 14
This morning seemed to have another little hot flash. Was lightheaded and dizzy. Almost looked like a much milder version of the 2nd "attack". Also, this was far from similar to the 1st time. Not vomiting or nauseous and had just dressed myself a went downstairs. Also grabbed tea, but then thought it would be better to just lie quietly upstairs. While typing it has already subsided a lot. Slept very badly last night. Couldn't fall asleep and woke up a few times. Yesterday in the early evening I had some more symptoms, but that also subsided. Had no noticeable hearing loss either way. Tinnitus is still present. Sometimes louder than at other times, but not yet disturbing sleep or anything. Rest of the day went just fine again.
March 15
Currently, the dizziness seems to be gone and only something of small pressure can be felt in my head. Tinitus also seems to be a lot less. I do notice a positive line from the first vertigo attack.
March 16
I have a hard time letting go. So I thought I will do a home test to make something more tangible. After all, I understood that a hearing test can show a lot of diseases. So I just did a frequency test at home. You have 2 outcomes in that. Lack in low/mid freqs = pretty much Meniere's. In high freqs, problems in the cochlea, most likely lab. Low I heard everything fine and but at the very higher frequencies (+14000hz) the sound slid towards my right ear. (I got this info from ENT reports)
March 17
Tinnitus remains very mild. The pressure is practically gone now.
As of today
No more tinnitus, only with chewing very slightly (is this even possible?). Mentally I feel part of the world again. Hearing again as I am used to and had no dizziness or instability for more than a week. The anxiety and stress remain high for me only because I have received 0 info or direction from ENT.
Occasionally I still feel something of warmth in my ear. Sometimes it stings a little or itches deep inside it seems.... Like it feels moist, but not in my ear canal, but deeper or something?
Sorry for my long post. Thank you all in advance. Cheers
\Edit note:\** Perhaps good to mention. It all started in a pretty stressful period. My car suddenly broke down. While I just started a big project at work that I have to lead. Wedding planning. Major leakage with our new home. The kitchen equipment stopped working as well. Father suddenly with PTSD. So yeah... A little stress
Furthermore, I have no background at all in allergies, migraines, or other chronic diseases.

2023.03.26 14:45 Informal_Nature5 I need your opinion because I'm kinda losing it... Is this labyrinthitis/vestibular neuritis

Your opinion after a worse ENT experience
Male, 29, 75.4kg, 178cm tall.
Dear readers,
Would like to have your opinions. Last week I had an unpleasant experience with an ENT doctor I was assigned to. Online I already read bad reviews, but the GP currently had no other way because the complaints are not "urgent". Just have a background in an anxiety disorder (unfortunately due to a medical blooper). Below my pattern of symptoms with dates. My GP suspects labyrinthitis and vestibular neuritis and from the ENT I have heard nothing, but no word. Not even a hello was possible. Also, the man would not listen or read to my kept diary. He did complain that he finds it annoying that people always come in thinking they have Meniere's when it is a rare disease. Now I have been referred for an audio test, hyperventilation testing and a balance test. Why? Really have no idea. I have unfortunately received 0 explanation and hope that possibly someone can give me something of a direction as to what happened (now virtually symptom free) or why I may still be getting these tests. Currently I am quite sad about the whole situation after all, as my wedding is in 2 months. My pattern of complaints:
The start
Jan 26/27 Sickness (nausea, fatigue, abdominal pain, tightness in the chest etc,) Jan 30 A very brief spinning dizziness. Lasted less than a minute when I turned over in bed. Thought BPPD then, and so did an Epley in bed. The week after I was not completely fit and kept feeling the dizziness from time to time for example with intense exercise, darkness, watching screens or moving objects, also hearing was dull. Didn't think anything crazy of it and just kept on doing everything. Afterward the symptoms looked like a milder or emerging version of the symptoms after the first attack.
On Feb. 9 I had a severe vertigo attack. I had to rush to a friend's house on my break. On the way there I started wobbling more and more and at his house I felt worse and worse. Then I quickly walked home and at home the whole room started spinning. As if I had turned myself up on a swing as a child and then lifted my feet off the floor. I stumbled to the bathroom because I was getting more and more nauseous until I threw up. At first I stayed standing with myself wedged between the two walls, but later I thought it would be smarter to sit down. I emailed my friend that she needed to come quickly and I wanted to see the doctor. After the attack, I was very dizzy and very shocked by the incident. I had started consulting Google because the doctor didn't have time until very late due to the rush. That's where I first read about meniere's and got very worried (very stupid to Google too with an anxiety problem). During the phone consultation, the doctor mentioned that it was probably an inflammation of my inner ear, labyrinthitis.
The weeks after the attack I really had to walk with my friend on the arm for a while in the beginning because of the dizziness and instability. Like the weeks before the attack, I heard everything dull with the left for a while, then tinitus. I also sometimes felt like something of a little fluid was leaking out. In fact, when I walked outside the left felt wet when wind came in. Mental I was still very confused and had little concentration and had a twitching ear muscle (or something?) for a few days. As the days went by I gained a little more confidence and walked larger and larger distances and picked up my work from full again. I also went back to full exercise, calisthenics and started drinking booze. With the wedding planner, things turned very briefly again like the all first incident. I stayed calm and knew that crowded, dark spaces could trigger symptoms in the weeks following the attack.
The symptoms did persist so I sent the doctor to see if it was wise to do everything like this and if there were any physio exercises to create faster stability and speed up the plasticity against the dizziness. However, I was also advised if it persisted to stop by the practice.
On Feb. 27, I went back to work hard in the evening. Worked out for 2 hours after a full day at work and made late with booze the weekend before (stupid). Did a lot of hanging upside down during the workout. Through stretching and handstand push-ups. In the car back my left side started getting all denser again and once home the dizziness started getting worse. At one point I had to go to the bathroom again from nausea. It wasn't spinning like the swing metaphor, but more like being drunk or something. With movement of my head I became nauseous. This moment lasted about 1 to 1.5 hours then I was back in the shower.
The following days I was quite upset. It did not feel like I had to "rehabilitate" as much as after the turn attack. I told my friend again that I felt like some fluid was leaking out again. I remained slightly dizzy, which I was more affected by especially in the evening. Especially mentally I was/am going through a lot of uncertainty and anxiety. I always said my head is my biggest enemy and now it felt like I had lost a battle. I stopped working again and with sports I focus on walking and cardio. Not on calisthenics. The stress and anxiety were very high. But at this moment I am trying to focus on rest.

2023.03.26 14:45 ipadgf I Think I Might've Ruined My DV Case ....

A month ago my ex assualted me and called me racial profanities. I am pregnant as well and he knew this before and during the assault. I ended up filing a police report a couple hours later and the state ended up charging him with Assault with the Intent of Bodily Harm Strangulation Less than Murder.
I have medical examiner reports, texts that show his admission to the assault and also previous abuse, and the first responding officer's reports as well (my ex lied to the officer and claimed to have fallen on top of me) documented in my case file.
Well this is where I think I f*cked up. I came to find out that he has been denying the assault and his parents are calling me a "liar" and "crazy"....so I did do something crazy.
I ended up making a burner account on Instagram and decided to follow him and ofc he accepted because it was an attractive girl in the profile picture. I ended up liking one of his stories and he ended up messaging the account and we started talking. Then the topic of relationships came up and that is when he claimed that I was a violent person, how I was never truthful, lied about being pregnant (which is comical since I had taken a test on V day and my pregnancy is documented in the case file as well) and how he never attacked me. When I read that I felt like a truck hit me because here is so devoid of taking responsibility for his actions and I have to live with this for the rest of my life; I can't even leave my apartment without having someone by my side, have frequent nightmares, can barely eat (which is not only effecting me but my baby), can't sleep, and much more.
So I ended up texting him just reiteriating what he did and asking him how he can deny almost killing me and sent screenshots to him of the texts of him admitting to the abuse. Then I went ahead and contacted his parents and sent them pictures of my bruises, my black eye, and his admission and asked how they can coddle a grown man that almost killed me. I know it wasn't the smartest thing to do but I was so angry just knowing that he can so blatantly lie and spin the story as if nothing happened.
The next day, I called my DV advocate and told her everything that I did. Although she assured me that this happens and it's not uncommon for victims to try and get answers themselves, I can't help but to feel as if I ruined the case and that I won't get the justice I deserve. She also told me that he and his parents sent my screenshots to his public defender (which sort of confuses me because in my messages were pictures of my injuries and his admission?). He has a status conference in five weeks (we had a prelim hearing this past Tuesday and he waived the hearing so I wouldn't testify and finally took the plea deal. Before the hearing he wanted me to agree to just one year probation with therapy and anger mangement and then for it to be scrubbed off his record) and if we end up going to trial I'm afraid now that I've lost any type of credibility despite having concrete evidence...
Should I be worried that I ultimately ruined the case? Is there any way that I can still win against my abuser? Should I just now lower my expectations now and expect him to get a slap on the wrist? How can I make sure that justice is properly served? Also what exactly is a status conference??? My advocate and the prosecutor explained it to me but the legal terms flew right above my head.

2023.03.26 14:44 Jaydenpk KA24de-t vs ca18det

So I'm wondering what would be a better swap. I currently have a ca18det minus the turbo( I still need to buy one). My friend has a full swap ka24de that he wants to trade me.
Now I know the engines are kinda similar in power goals. The CA18 out of the box is better then the KA. My thing is, it's been very difficult to source parts for the CA. It was never produced in America besides the single cam that came in the pulsor I think?. And the CA20 that came in the s12 that you can use parts from. The engine is just hard to get basic parts for. The KA24 came stock in a couple cars in the States so you can go to any parts store and get what you need.
I'm not really worried about power. I know you can turbo the KA and they make tourqe easier. They are also very reliable. Just about every KA I've seen has been thrashed hard and seemed to be fine. That's what I want. Reliability. I know the CA is unique but finding parts is a pain. They both can only take about 300hp stock internals. The KAs seem to be cheaper when buying pistons and conrods that are forged.
So here's my comparison
Ca18det
Pros: .factory turbo motor .sound's better .rev happy .iron block Cons: .part's hard to find .parts overpriced .butterfly's in intake cause restrictions at high HP .tuning can be harder .aftermarket is pricey .oiling problems. Similar to RBs .old Engine
KA24de-t
Pros: . U.S engine (parts available) . Tourqey engine . cheap . aftermarket is cheaper . strong . Tuning is a bit easier . reliable
Cons: . low HP stock (130-150ish) . motor is typically not taken care of by previous owners. . head doesn't flow well . not a factory turbo motor . cool factor (people will give you crap for having a "basic" KA instead of a SR or RB etc)
Now I'm not a engine guru so I'm sure some people will disagree. This is just the knowledge I've accumulated over the years.
P.S I used to hate KAs. I had two and blew both of them. I was younger and didn't know how to properly work on engine's and lost a lot of money selling my first s13. Now that I'm older I understand that they aren't bad engine's and are good for making low-mid HP on a budget.

2023.03.26 14:44 feedzone_specialist Single most effective exercise for correcting anterior pelvic tilt?

TL;DR - for those who have corrected anterior pelvic tilt caused by cycling, what one exercise did you personally find most effective?
As a brief background, I'm long term/life-long cyclist at relatively high volume but only recently starting to develop a slight anterior pelvic tilt (pic for those not clear: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b31252_7e2df493b3c043eeb12f9cbae8cccc8d~mv2.jpg) - I thought I was getting a slight belly at first despite otherwise low-ish bodyfat but then realised it was posture.
Its not causing any discomfort or pain or any other issues whatsoever, I'd just like to nip it in the bud and correct it.
As I understand it the main causes are weak glutes/hamstrings and tight everything-in-the-front-chain. If I tense my glutes and make an effort to stand with improved posture I can feel tightness in my quads in particular.
I've seen all kinds of suggested exercises for prevention/remedy from glute bridges, squats, planks, deadlifts, kettlebell swings, hip thrusts but... as much as it may be optimal to do so, life is too busy to try and pack *all* these in in a "throw everything at the wall" approach.
I already do some gym work, but likely not as often as I should. Life is busy, and with cycling already taking up a huge chunk of my available selfish/me-time outside of work, family etc its hard to get in as much gym time as optimal - I'm sure a lot of people find the same. So I'm looking for the best bang for the buck, and interested to hear what others have found works best with the minimal time. Thanks in advance.

2023.03.26 14:44 Travisw60 Searching for a career in mathematics

I'm hoping for some advice from folks who have explored these paths more thoroughly and can provide some guidance.
I received a B.S. in Mathematics in 2011 and then worked in the tech space for 11 years. I always loved mathematics and my job in the tech space has a through line of enjoying teaching (even if it wasn't math). Now that I've moved on from that, I am investigating getting involved in teaching mathematics to some extent.
I always liked the idea of being a college-level lecturer. I loved the problem solving of the levels of calculus, but didn't identify as much with the research-level maths. I did enjoy complex and real analysis, but spun my wheels with abstract algebra.

The potential job paths seem to be:
Elementary/Middle school level math teacher - easier on-ramp with certification, but potentially less gratifying teaching lower-level math. Tons of job availability.
High school level math teacher - higher level of math, but more hormones in the classroom. Tons of job availability.
College-level math lecturer - Most appealing with hopefully more bought-in students, higher level subject matter, but probably lower job availability.
PHD-route: Intimidating. I'm not sure I have the chops for it, and research doesn't seem as appealing to me. But teaching really esoteric maths seems enticing.

Questions:
Did I miss any paths?
Has anyone considered this for themselves, or have experience in those areas?
Any other thoughts/guidance?

;TLDR - Loved math in college - got math B.S. degree. Worked in tech field for over a decade. Want to get back in to math. Not sure how/what is the best fit.

2023.03.26 14:43 neonberry0 i need help understanding this

so about a week ago I payed $150 for a beat that says “unlimited license”. I now have my lyrics/vocals recorded over the beat, and am ready to release on streaming platforms. What i need to know is, will I be able to use a service like Distrokid or Tunecore to put it on spotify, apple music and youtube etc without having to worry about it getting rejected or taken down for copyright shit? and if I am able to get it on streaming platforms, am I gonna be able to get paid from Distrokid/Tunecore for the streams it gets or am I not allowed to make money from it because I didnt make the beat? to be honest, Im much less worried about the money than I am about making sure I can get it published and have it stay on the streaming platforms since exposure is my main goal, but obviously it would also be nice to get paid for my work if thats possible. also, what if theres a beat I wanna buy on beatstars that doesnt have the “unlimited” option and says I can only get a certain amount of streams with it, and the song does really good and ends up getting more streams then what they say the limit is? or is that not something I need to worry about until the time comes?

2023.03.26 14:43 Bradmin2468 I [24M] don’t know if I should date this girl [22F]

So I’ve got a decision that I’m having a hard time deciding on. I work at an airport and there’s this girl who works for another airline, she’s cute and we share interests so I started talking to her. It’s only been a week or two but from the moment I started I’ve had a handful of friends come and tell me I need to be careful / drop her immediately. From what I’ve gathered she talks to a lot of guy and has had some questions situations. I don’t mind the first as everyone’s doing their own thing and that’s no place for me to judge but the latter has me worried. I’ve been told by multiple people that she has talked to guys at the same time, used guys to make others jealous as well as made as comments about men that are questionable. Now this might seem like a clean cut easy choice, drop her, she’s manipulative and not good for a relationship. My problem is I can be considered too nice and I feel bad taking what these people on the outside of the situation are saying as fact and dropping her. I sent her a text the other day saying that I had been told all of this information and that I had no problem with her having talked to lots of guys but that I did have an issue with talking to multiple at the same time and that I’ve enjoyed our conversations but that was not something I wanted to be involved with. Today I got back a response and she said that she was upset and that there are guys she hangs out with and some that she used to but none that she’s dated. She told me she has nothing to hide and is willing to talk about it if I’d like. My problem is I don’t know if I should trust her and hear her out, get her side of you will, or listen to my friends I’ve know for years and run as fast as I can. I feel terrible for letting the opinions of others influence how I view someone that I haven’t gotten a chance to really meet. But at the same time I trust my friends and don’t believe they have bad intentions. What do you guys think, should I run like hell or give this girl a chance to at least explain the accusations.

2023.03.26 14:42 CallOfKyle Night Shift Nursing Home Story

This happened about 6 years ago during my first year as a CNA. Names obviously changed for privacy. I've recently gone back to school for writing and thought it'd be fun to convert some journal entries into stories. Primarily some of my favorites/creepiest. Hope you enjoy and I'd love to hear some feedback to improve my writing!

"Aug-26-2017
I was always pretty comfortable working at night. Staying up late playing video games was all I did on my days off anyway. I didn't think much of how different it would be somewhere else.
I had picked up at the job as CNA at a nursing home. I had done this kind of work before but in this case the home I worked at needed night shift aides. I was pretty familiar with how easy going the night shift usually is. A few patients will hit their call lights every now and then. And the patients who couldn't move I turned and changed every couple hours. The hardest part of the job was staying awake. If you've never worked in a nursing home, don't. The companies that run these places always gut the staffing ratios. The night shift got by okay because most of the patients were asleep, it did get overwhelming at times. There were two long hallways throughout the building. Housing about 60 patients or residents. The residents were there to stay long term. They had problems with memory, were on hospice, brain injuries, or whatever else. The dementia residents were my favorite. At least once a week I would get a fun story out of them. Anyways, on the night shift we had 3 CNA's and 2 Nurses. About 20 patient's a piece for the aides. The nurses were always elbow deep in charting and handing out medications. That left the aides to work amongst themselves. On the residents wing of the building, called long term, there was one nurses station. On the rehab side, which was a bit bigger, there was a station as well. I always got put on the long term wing of the building. Being a larger guy made moving and turning residents around in their beds a lot easier. The job wasn't half bad and always felt pretty rewarding. There wasn't much to complain about.
It was a hot August night that I came in for my shift. I knew I was going to be assigned to long term and headed down the hall. I met with the night nurse, Holly, at the nurses station. There, the two swing shift aides were eagerly waiting to give me their report and go on their ways. I won't bother with their names, it's not important. They had told me the usual rundown of the residents and I had been familiar with them for almost 6 months now. However, they had told me that David in 312 had been acting weird. They said he didn't really eat his dinner and he refused to be put in bed. David was this sweet, old, mostly blind man in his 90's. He had dementia, which made a lot of what he said hard to believe. They said that David doesn't like sharing his room and that's why he won't go to sleep. They had explained to David that he did in fact have a private room but he insisted and refused to go to bed. The aides told me that night shift has just been waiting for David to fall asleep in his wheelchair and then taking him to bed then. I figured that would be my case that night.
I parked David next to Holly at the nurse's station and started my first round. I usually worked down the left half of the hallway and back up the right. The hallway is quite long with a big emergency fire door at the end. An alarm would sound if anyone were to open it. I had worked my way down to the end of the hall. David's room was at the very end. Room 312, with a terrible construction paper name plate taped to the door. There was some clothes on the ground in David's room that I'd picked up. I made his bed in the event he was asleep when I finished my first round. I noticed the bathroom was open and the light was on. I checked and nothing was in there so I closed it. All the bathrooms in this hall were shared between two adjacent rooms. I know David was incontinent and wouldn't have used the bathroom. I figured it was either the neighboring room or one of the aides washed their hands in there. I carried on and finished my round.
By the time I had finished my first round it was already 12:30 at night. I sat at the nurse's station next to David and Holly to start charting what I had just done. David was telling Holly all about his job as a photographer for the newspaper. He said he was getting photos for a story on the Black Panther Party in Oakland. I thought that was really incredible. Both that he thought it was the 60s and that he had actually photographed the events down there. You really got a lot of neat stories from the old people we kept down here.
At about 02:30 David finally fell asleep in his chair. I wheeled him down to his room and started to change his brief. I went to close the blinds when I felt a warm breeze under my shirt. David's window had been slid open a crack. I hadn't noticed it earlier, but I didn't really go near the window. I closed it up and finished putting David into bed. He was fast asleep when I was pulling his blankets over him. I headed back down to the nurses station and had a pretty calm second half of my shift.
The next night I came back to work. Same place, same time. The evening aides gave me their report, told me again about David not wanting to go to his room. I figured the night was going to be the same as last. I parked David next to Holly and started working. I was getting sheets out of the linen closet when I heard a toilet flush towards the end of the hall. I headed down towards the sound until I reached the end of the hallway. The faint sound of game shows on Room 311's TV was all I could hear. I looked into David's dark room, the bathroom light was on. I stepped over toward the handle and quickly flung the door open. There was nothing in there. Then I realized that it smelled. Someone had used the toilet. I walked through the joining room door. The resident's name was Patrick. He was an old war vet that had a stroke. His left side was weakened and he needed a lot of help to get around. I asked Patrick if he'd gotten himself up to the bathroom. He said no. I said okay and started walking back. He then told me that he was tired of the neighbor forgetting to unlock the bathroom door on his side. I froze and my heart sank as he told me that. I didn't want to freak Patrick out so I carried on with my round and got back to Holly. I told her what Patrick had said and that I heard the toilet flush down there. She decided to call the cops and have them search the backyard of the building. One of the officers said that the screen was missing from room 312, but that was it. I told the officer that that was the room I heard someone using the bathroom in. He said he'd look around again but there's nothing out there. They still found nothing and suggested we put a stick in the window to block it from opening but that's all that came of it that night.
The next night I had a sense of dread coming into work. The evening aides talked to me about how creepy it was and how they're afraid to go to David's room now. I did my best to ignore it but I was terrified to put David to bed that night. I was making my rounds again when I heard some shuffling down the hall. The hallway seemed to get longer and longer as I stared down toward room 312. A lump in my throat formed as I stood frozen. I was jump scared by my coworker Mindy. She was the aide for the center wing. She asked me about what happened and I told her. I also told her that I had just heard something from that room. She invited herself to investigate with me. We walked slowly towards the room. We approached the doorway and I reached for the light switch. I flicked the light on and the room seemed normal. No bathroom light on. Nothing. I asked Mindy to help me make the bed and we started. I kicked something on the ground and realized it was the stick that held the window shut. I looked up at Mindy and held up the stick. Her face turned pale white as she looked at it and me. She let out a scream and pointed at the window. A set of eyes over a dark silhouette stood on the outside of the window. It was a crazy looking guy. His hot breath was making fog on the window as he stared at us. Mindy had run out of the room already and I was left staring at him. I stood frozen as he leaned toward the window. "Thanks for making my bed again." he said with a smile that made my heart drop. Grabbed the window and tried sliding it open. I quickly put my hands on top to hold it shut. He started yelling at me and banging on the window with his hand. Telling me all of his things were in here and cursing at me. Holly and Mindy had come back into the room screaming. The man picked up a rock and started breaking in the window. I held up the stick ready to beat the man. Holly and Mindy pulled me back from the window as the man climbed through the broken glass. I then could see Mindy was on the phone with the police. The man's hands were all cut up from the glass. We eventually managed to fend the guy off and he climbed back out of the window and ran. The cops caught him later and said he was pretty deranged. They had me help them go through David's cabinet, they said the man insisted his things were in the room and that he lived there. Going through David's closet I slowly came to realize that a lot of this stuff wasn't his. Two bags of clothes and a dirty backpack were stuffed in the bottom of the closet. It made me realize that this guy had been living in David's room for at least a little while. David wasn't able to tell us what was going on. He really did think he just had a new roommate. We moved David closer to a room closer to the nurse's station while his window was being repaired. I never heard anything else about the guy that broke in. I figured he was admitted to a mental hospital somewhere. Hopefully he got the help he needed.
All this wasn't enough to make me quit the night shift. I do take noises I hear a lot more seriously now. I started working at the hospital a couple months later and security is a lot tighter there. Dark hallways still make me uneasy to this day and I always find myself checking for open windows."

2023.03.26 14:42 ItsSnoky 25 [M4F] UK/Europe - Looking to get to know someone who i can get to know and much more

Introduction
Well hello there! (General Kenobi!). I'm Snoky also known as you'll find out when we get to know eachother
I’m a 25 year old English/Norwegian guy from the U of K! I currently work in the IT Sector within the Local Government and my god I forgot how hectic the public sector was after i left it roughly 4 years ago. I did indeed have quite a shock coming back 😅

Apperance
I'm on the bigger side but am looking to get that changed with some help due to i'm not very happy with the way thing's are currently. Minus that I'm 6'1/6'2, depends on which doctor you ask! I have short-ish hair dark blonde hair? I think? I'm not very good with colors so you'll have to tell me whenever we decide to exchange pictures.
Which i will be more than happy to exchange later on once we get to know eachother!

Main Intrests/Hobbies
My main interests are either playing games with some friends on the PC, studying for future certifications and mainly what I do after work just kicking back and watching whatever random things I can find on YouTube (I aren’t a big TV person). I used to watch a lot of anime but I tend to drop out of it for a year and then I get back in to it then I lose interest again heh, it’s just a thing that I’ve been doing for years on end.
I am somewhat in to movies but I haven’t really properly watched any within the last year or so but if I was to give a rough genre, I’d say dark-ish movies with a grabbing story i.e. DC films and a here and there Marvel film (IW ftw!) I much more prefer it when the bad guy gets the upper hand and basically wins as close to that of Thanos basically.
My main music choices? Everywhere and everything. If my ears like it, then chances are I’ll most likely like it. I’d write down all the artists I follow right now but trust me it’d take too long to go over so it’d probs better to just share my Spotify playlist lmao. But to give a quick sum up I’d say its more around mixed genre, alt-rock basically.
I do also write my own stuff as well, but again like anime I do it for like 6 months then stop, then start a year later so eh it’s a pretty hit and miss hobby for me 😅

Future Prospects?
As mentioned in my apperance section i'm in the process of trying to get fit with weight loss as I’m not very happy with how I am at the moment especially when it comes to health after a incident a few years ago but that’s neither here nor the future as I’m looking to change it with the help of the NHS and people around me. I'd be more than happy to join forces together with someone who's trying to do the same thing!
I currently own my own company which is currently under going some development but hasn't actually started as of yet (still looking in that area) but it will get there at somepoint!
Alongside my own company I’m also undergoing a project with a close friend of mine that we’re trying to pursue which is actually happening alongside the org itself so it's all looping togetherslowly but surely.

What am i looking for?
I'm looking for someone who's intrested in getting to know eachother, someone who's got my back and i've got theres, someone i can well essentially "grow" with and get to know, someone who's willing to put the effort in to get to know me and vice versa.I'd like said person to be able to hold a convoersation with me as i've been in too many instances where it's all been one sided convos with me basically putting in more effort than the other person but alas that's neither here nor there and hopfully I'll maybe find the person who would share that equal effort with me. And trust me I've been ghosted loads of times to the point it's like "bruh, just why?" but anyway!
I'm open to long distant's so long as there's a goal to meet eachother in the somewhat near future!
No older than 27 please!

The End?
If you've made it this far after this somewhat long post then i must congradulate you!
I now have a small question for you to send me the answer too when you message me.
On what date and or month was a i born? I was born on the month of a certain red birthstone on a international memorial day
p.s, if you don't get it it doesn't matter it's worth a try regardless
Small partial note; If your going to time waste and just ghost me please don't bother messaging me as i'm only intrested in getting to know actual serious people...and please be able to hold a convosation with me and vice versa!
