My right soundcore earbud not working

I've been so up and down lately that it feels like I'm going crazy. During all this i have the strong need to cut every person i know out of my life entirely and never leave my house again. One day I was so down I snapped at every person I saw and then the next hour I was fine and laughing again. Then the next day there was a total of 10 minutes where the s*icidal ideations were so strong, and right after I was fine again. Yesterday I locked myself in my dark room, taped my curtain to the walls so no light could get in and hid under my blanket crying. Last night I was up late and afraid to be alone so I got my gram to stay up with me while I just sobbed for hours and contemplated everything I ever knew and tried not to shave my head because I felt so desperate for change. Today I was left alone and continued to move things around because I'm in the middle of switching rooms around. Something didn't go right and I was just suddenly so angry and yelled at nothing. I then punched a wall and cut my 7 months of hair growth off. The entire time I was cutting my hair off i was going back and forth between crying, laughing, yelling at myself to stop, and silently staring at myself in the mirror doing nothing. I'm legitimately scared of myself right now but feel like I have no control over what I do. I don't know why I've been like this and I'm just so scared of what I might do next. I don't have any mental diagnosis besides anxiety, depression, and ptsd so I have no clue why I'm acting like this, and it's only the second time I've been this bad in about a year.

I got divorced at 25 and within 4 months I met someone that I had insane chemistry with the moment we met.
We’d spend 8 hours a day getting lost in conversation. We got insanely close. Would see him every week to hookup. But he wouldn’t ever commit. 2 years in found out he had a gf of over a year and I broke things off. I was heart broken for months and just could not get over him. He screwed me over a few times on some work stuff he was supposed to show up for too. Was inconsistent and would ghost me on plans Other than that he’s always been attentive, kind, and selfless in every other way. But after I broke things off he came crawling back and said he’d spend the next couple weeks deciding on if he wants her or the stuff we had (still without a title). He broke it off with her (she’s now moved on with a new guy) and he came back. I was stupid and took him back.
3 years later after meeting this man and I just woke up one day and was tired of getting all of him and all his care one day then like now, I haven’t seen him in a month and a half and he hasn’t texted me in 3 weeks. I officially decided to pull the plug.
I stopped looking at his stories, turned his post notifs off, took him off my close friends.
I guess what I’m trying to say is I’ve been crying for 3 weeks and I’m wondering if anyone in a similar situation has like tips on this type of heartbreak. Looking for general support. Reassurance I made the right decision so I don’t go back lol. How long it took others to get over their situationships, especially post divorce. I’m just sad. The worst part is I was more in love with his potential than him.

So over a year ago I hooked up with a guy two years older than me twice and it was amazing. We didn’t even do a lot but he knew what he was doing and did/said all the right things. When we were getting ready to leave he’d smack my ass and press me back up against the wall ugh it was so hot.
But I only saw him twice and then never again but I have him on Snapchat and he occasionally posts on his story. I’m not even sure if he lives in the same city as me anymore.
I have little luck with Grindr and dating and I’m feeling…a certain way today…and I want to reach out to him and ask if he wants to hang but I’m not sure if it’s a good idea. I don’t want it to come off creepy or stalker-y.
Thoughts?

We’ll actually not that surprising, but they’re looking for someone to exploit. And the second they sensed someone with standards I could tell they wanted to end the convo immediately.
Talked to a dozen companies that weren’t great at all
I’m professional and cordial of course, I’m just talking bluntly because of Reddit. Some of the responses I’ve gotten back from interviewers have been pure comedy. Here’s some paraphrased quotes, after I was adamant and kept digging into their corporate speak:
“I guess you can have an 8 hour day on average if you’re really efficient and work extremely hard. I think. I haven’t had one in a long time.”
“Our last director walked off the job, and we’re trying to avoid that scenario. They weren’t cut out to be a leader, we’re looking for someone who doesn’t need handholding and thrives with no direction or input”
“we try to train, but the team is very behind and busy. Some of the items are self explanatory and there is a learning curve, but they are still due when they are due, there can’t be constant excuses about understaffing or workload”
“Yes PTO is unlimited and at your managements discretion. We don’t have a benefits manual to give you yet, that’s usually at the end stage after the next 5 rounds”
And this is a real convo as well that blew my mind:
“Yes we realize this pay is lower than what was listed, but our director came back and now it’s more of a staff role”
“I make triple that. I’m licensed, with many years of experience in both public and private… umm…”
“Yeah but we don’t need a cpa, the director boomeranged back”
“…umm… respectfully, What exactly is the point of this conversation and why are we having it? Am I supposed to take a role 1/3 of my pay and demote myself down several levels? I don’t understand”
We blank stared at each other for 60 seconds after, no exaggeration, before I excused myself and left.

All of the characters in this show make the WORST decisions. My wife and I are half-way through season 2 and we're just mouth-agape at some of the incredible plot-holes and stupid character choises. I hoped this would be decent because it's based on source material (and the post-apocalyptic genre is so played-out), but wow....
If my kids were this stupid, I'd consider them sub-human as well. (A joke, but trying to make my point.)
Questions I have:

• Where are they getting fuel from?
• How does the telephone work?
• Who made the really nice diaroma of Evergreen? That was top-notch work.
• Why not stay at Fort Smith considering they say in dialogue that it has it's own independent power and water?
• When did the Last Men have time to train with anti-air weapons to take out the Air Lords?
• What happened to Big Man needing meds for his knees? In season 2 we see him running a lot. He only grabbed a few bottles of pills with Gus (instead of grabbing the entire box of them for some reason *eyeroll*)
• The children seem like they're written by people who don't spend time around children.
• Clarification question - literally ALL children born after the Great Crumble are hybrids? That's what I thought at first. But... they grew Gus from a chicken egg?

Please let me know if I'm super wrong, but I just find myself getting more and more frustrated with the choices that the characters make. And I'm confused by the rules of the world.

Hi chefs, amateur cook here.
I am slowly getting annoyed at most containers in my kitchen. Be it balsamic vinegar, various oils, or even mayo, I find most store bought containers kinda suck.
So here are my questions !

• Do you use squeeze bottles in your work kitchen, why or why not ? How about at home ?
  
• Being plastic whereas most oil bottles in the stores (France) are glass, are there some specific things to keep in mind? I’m thinking in terms of storage mostly.
  
• Do you use your squeeze bottles only for liquids or also for thicker products ? Eg. oil → syrup → mayo
  

I can’t think of anything else right now but any and all details would be greatly appreciated.

So, we have a lot going on at the moment. I’m 17 weeks pregnant and I feel awful all the time. Not just physically; my mental health has gone right downhill. I’ve put on so much weight, none of my clothes fit and I’m struggling with the summer heat. I wasn’t skinny to begin with, but this new body of mine is just not something I like. I hate myself right now.
My grandad died two weeks ago, and we were close. I now have to navigate taking my 2.5 year old across country, about a 7-8 hour train journey, then manage to keep her quiet during the ceremony. My grandma has expressly asked for us both to be there, she said my daughter is the light of her life. It’s not really a question of not going; I have to do this for her.
On top of that, I’m pretty sure my girl is autistic. Seeing her this week at various birthday parties and with other kids her age has driven the point home. She has a speech and language delay, she just doesn’t understand what kids her age do. There’s nothing inherently wrong with this; please don’t think I’m being ableist. I just know what a struggle it can be for autistic kids, working in a school. My fiancé and I are heartbroken to think we may not hear her say ‘I love you, mummy’ for a long time. We’re upset to think that she may not make friends, or she’ll get upset and overwhelmed easier.
I’m also super stressed at work; my boss is being a bit of a micro-managing cow, and I’ve taken on more work because they’d pay me overtime. We’re struggling for money as it is. But the amount they’ve given me is a lot. Especially for a pregnant person. I’ve also had an issue with my other boss not doing my performance review for over 6 months later than she should, so my pay hasn’t gone up with the yearly increment it should.
We’re both so tired and burnt out. My fiancé works as hard as he can picking up where my income is lacking.
What can I do to cheer us up? My brain isn’t in the right place to think of something amazing for us to do, and we don’t have the finances to go on holiday or anything. We need SOMETHING to look forward to though. So any suggestions as to lovely activities we could do that don’t cost money, would be appreciated. Failing that, thank you for listening to my rant, I just needed to get it all out.

Moved into hell
Redditors, i need advice. I’m 30f and my boyfriend 27m have been together for almost a year now. We were doing long distance and I decided to take the dive and be the one to move. We typically never fought, argued, yelled at eachother. We felt like the perfect couple. So I quit my job and moved my entire life from beautiful Florida to Ohio for him.
We’ve been in this apartment together for two weeks now and I feel like I’m in hell. It has nothing to do with his living habits, his cleaning habits, etc, those are fine. I feel like he has completely changed. He’s not even close to being the same man I fell in love with. His communication skills are suddenly horrible, he stayed out extremely late last night & ignored my calls. He expects me to wait on him hand and foot but complains about my food. He flips everything I find wrong about his actions right around back to me to make me feel like I’m wrong for even bringing it up.
Basically what I’m asking is, I now feel so trapped. We signed this year lease and I don’t know what to do. I’m still looking for a job and i can’t afford this townhome rent by myself. I want him gone but I’m also struggling with this huge mistake i made that i now have to face. I have to tell my family who didn’t think it was a good idea in the first place that they were right. Every day i want to move back home but it’s expensive. I feel like there’s a boulder on my chest & i can’t move.

Don't get me wrong, all the poe streamers I watch know that not every game needs to be PoE and having a more user friendly and casual alternative is a good thing.
I think the streamers would even rather work for free than leave d4 in its current state. The reviews I've heard from streamers I watch are 5/10 6/10 6/10. They all agree the game has a good base but given Blizzard's past design decisions I personally don't see the experience changing dramatically as they've had 10 years to improve d3 and 10 years to make this game and there is very little innovation.
I know there is a disagreement about whether some features are pros or cons so I wont list my opinions but I think top streamers have good instincts and analysis about what makes a game engaging/immersive/long-lived.
Blizzard is thinking primarily from a "how much money can we squeeze with as little investment as possible mindset". This is evidenced in one example by the half-assed hc race where some people could pay $30 extra to get 4 day head start. I get that games are more expensive now I am just talking about the willingness to allow paid advantage in a competitive game.
I think Blizzard's reputation as being greedy and lazy is the main reason it generates so much hate, not because people want you to only be able to like one game. And this is why I think bringing in consultants who actually play games for a living and are not just thinking about monetization could actually make the game more money over time.
PoE is free and I've dumped wayyyyyy more money happily than I would give to Blizzard. If hardcore players had an incentive to stick around you make more money from MTX.
I just don't get their one and done, thanks got your money, half-assed seasons(they did it before and you still paid for this so why change?) model.
Lastly, streams or forums where you are not allowed to talk about the disappointments of the game will give people wrong impression which will make them even more toxic as a review source. Its better for people to know what they are getting into so they can only blame themselves like is the case for me if I buy this.

Hi,
I'm using the RE storage system and having some issues with the wireless grid part of it. I'm trying to setup my storage access in another location but can't seem to get the receiver to work even though I have the network card linked and in the transmitter. My controller also doesn't seem to detect the transmitter even though it's powered on and connected to the system. Not sure if this is a bug or not. I've tried several things I found on google such as quickly removing the network card in and out of the transmitter but that didn't work. Another suggestion said to just wait for 30 minutes after setting it up and the server should register it, but that also didn't work.
Anyone have this issue and was able to solve it?
Thank you!

He deserves so much better than me, an alcoholic. He whole heartedly believes that I love alcohol more than I love him and our children. I do not. I do not know what my problem is. Why can’t I just stop?? I always say I will but I never do stop. I want to leave him because he will not leave me and he deserves everything he wants out of a mate. I love him so much. I only want him to be happy. I want him to have everything he deserves. He is such a good man. He works so hard to provide for us. He only wants what’s best for our family and I know I am not it. I maintain our household while he works but I still drink too much 2 or three days out of the week. It bothers him severely because he knows I come from a family of alcoholics. It bothers me too and I always say I am not going to drink but why do I always pick up the bottle? I really want to leave my husband because I love him.

Hi all, I have been asking questions nonstop in the weekly discussion thread, and I thought I would roll it all up into a single post to get more opinions.
My goal is to plan a trip from SFO to TPE next summer in June/July on EVA. From what I'm seeing, they've been releasing single seat awards on Aeroplan/ANA in May 2024. I was able to find the nonstop routes for 75k each way on Aeroplan and 95k RT on ANA. The cash price of this trip is about $5600 RT, so either redemption is great, but the ANA one would ofc save 55k miles overall.
From what I have gathered there's a few considerations:

• ANA availability doesn't seem to exactly match all of the saver awards that I see on Aeroplan
  • i.e. there are 2 SFO to TPE flights for 75k on a given day, but ANA only seems to pick up one of them
• Aeroplan transfers immediately, but ANA transfers take 48 hours
  • I'm not sure how often it occurs, but it fundamentally seems a little risky to ever transfer to ANA given the long wait time
• ANA's website seems to be very slow/funky
  • Not sure if it's just me, but searching for a single route takes several minutes, and often the website will just randomly stop working
• Currently the dates are for May end, which are not quite the dates I would want
  • Therefore, I'm not sure if there are any risks for booking now, and then trying to change the dates later. From what it sounds like it's free to change, but future availability is unknown.

Based on this, is there any information I'm missing, if not, what do you all recommend here? I'm leaning towards just doing Aeroplan and waiting out for the availability in June because of the faster transfer times and better website. But the ANA redemption is obviously such good value too.

Have you died to the old man? Have you died to your old self, so you can give life to the new? And what does does it mean?
If you are new to the law, you may not understand what this even means, but if you’ve landed here, my guess is that you are interested in learning about the subjet.
So, this article, I am going to help you understand and digest this, so you can make this knowledge your own and not only manifest your desires, but transform your whole life.
Let the Old Man Go Disengage yourself from the whole vast belief that you formerly entertained, and hold on in your imagination to the concept that you ARE the man that you want to be… For you will RESSURECT and make alive the state that began only as a concept. If you remain faithful to the concept you will be led right into the fulfillment of that state. It is called, in the Bible, re-birth. – Neville Goddard
How engaged are you with your current self? How engaged are you with your current reality? How engaged are you with your current thoughts and the story you are telling to yourself?
If you are still very much engaged with them, you must disengage yourself from all those beliefs because they belong to your old self, and the old self has to die, so you can ressurect and make alive the NEW self.
You have to die to the old self and become the new self before you can see you reality change. This said, I see a lot of people who have not understood this basic truth, wondering why they can’t manifest their desire or transform their lives.
Your world, as it is right now, is the world that you have manifested for yourself based on the sum total of your beliefs and assumptions – your mental diet. In turn, this has created the man within, which is your old man.
The good news is that when you understand states and how to embody a state in imagination, you can let go of the old. Die to the old man, and be re-born to the new.
Don’t Try to “Fix” the Old A very common mistake we can observe, even in the conscious manifesting community, it’s that a lot of people are “trying to fix” their problems. For example, they are trying to fix that relationship they’ve lost. But trying to fix your problem will keep you in the old state. And from that state, by law, you won’t be able to manifest your desire.
If you want to manifest a relationship, even with a specific person that you already know, you don’t want to manifest that same relationship, you want to manifest a brand new one, because if you did manifest the same relationship it would end in the same manner.
I observe this problem quite often when someone wanting to manifest an SP has not killed the old man and is manifesting their SP from the old self. When they succeed in manifesting their person, if they do, soon after, the same old scenario starts unfolding again. This is why you must die to the old before creating the new.
We all have had moments when we felt better here and there, so we were able to manifest our desire at that moment, but unless we completely kill the old self, that old self will come back again sooner or later, and we will lose what we have manifested.
Don’t try to manifest your desire FROM the old self. You need to leave the old man behind for good first. And then, FROM THAT NEW STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS, you can manifest your desire.
You Must Give Up What You are Now I am not speaking about some little magical thing where you can wave a wand and your desire will suddenly appear. This law is based upon a principle. If you want something, you can have it, but YOU MUST BE WILLING TO GIVE UP WHAT YOU ARE NOW in order to be what you want to be. – Neville Goddard
Oftentimes, I hear people say, how come I can manifest everything easily but I can’t manifest that one big desire? This is because they are “trying” to manifest it from the old self, from the state where that desire doesn’t exist.
A very easy way to know if this is what you’re doing it’s by observing your thoughts. Are you thinking from the state of “manifesting your desire?” If your answer is yes, then you are thinking FROM the old man. If the new man already had their desire, they wouldn’t be thinking of manifesting such a desire. Right? You are not “manifesting” what you already have!
Neville said, “I say to everyone: you can be anything you want to be, but you cannot be double-minded. You are told, Let no one believe that – having looked into the mirror, turns away and forgets what he looks like – that he will receive anything from the Lord, for the double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.”
In other words, don’t lie to yourself. If you were married to your specific person right now, would you be “manifesting” them? If you were wealthy right now, would you be wondering how you will pay the rent next month? If you were healthy right now, would you have any thoughts that belong to someone who is not healthy?
You have to leave behind all that is now your present concept of self, and fully embody the NEW you, regardless of the what your current reality says. And you do this FROM WITHIN.
Take your attention away from your old self, which means that you stop talking about it, thinking from it, and reacting from it. And most definitely, stop dwelling in the feeling of being that as well. ALL OF IT AS TO GO!
Start Doing This Everyday! “Ye must be born again for except ye be born again ye cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven.”
That is; except you leave behind you your present conception of yourself and assume the nature of the new birth, you will continue to out-picture your present limitations. – Neville Goddard – The Power of Awareness
Meditate on the I AM statement, and become faceless and body-less. Practice this every day. As you do, take your attention away from your problem.
Your ego-self may “think” that he or she has a problem to “fix” but your God-Self KNOWS that he or she already IS what they want to be.
Sit down, close your eyes, and relax for 10 to 15 minutes a day, and dwell in that FEELING OF BEING. There is nothing and no one that can prevent you to FEEL and BE what you want to feel and who you want to be, right now, but yourself.
So, “go into your room” (your imagination) Matthew 6:6 and BE the NEW VERSION of yourself there. Not from your current problem, not from the old version of yourself, but be the new person/the new state that you want to be and who already has their desire.
Only by reminding yourself of this constantly and going within daily, will you be able to kill the old man for good and be re-born as the new you and, therefore, manifest any desire you might have.

I'm thinking of having some of pens ground to custom nib grinds just to keep my collection from being monotonous and I was wondering if anyone had recommendations especially for grinds that would work best for someone who writes with their right hand.

I am slowly dying from the inside everyday this crippling pain and loneliness is killing me and the funny part is that I’m surrounded by people I socialize a lot but I have self sabotaging tendencies where I mess up my friendships but what is really killing me is that I long for a relationship (even though I’m a straight man) and want a family to dedicate every ounce of my time and energy but day by day it seems unlikely it’s not like I’m not trying but it’s looks like whatever I do is not working I want to end myself everyday but keep on living because if I do it it will affect my family badly so I pretend everything is fine but my mom knows that I’m not happy even though I try my best to hide I can’t tell her that I’m broken from the inside so I just tell her that I am tired from work or I am sad because I miss them (which is true) . I want to give up on my dream of having a loving family of my own where I can play the role a father (It hurts to type this) but there is some small part of me that still doesn’t want to give up hope. That hope is hurting me more and everytime I fail the pain grows stronger and makes more hollow inside I don’t know any sympathy but I want it to let it out. If you don’t like my post you can say whatever you want. Whatever you say won’t hurt me because the pain I feel everyday is nothing compared to your words
Tl,dr : just rant about a sad guy about giving up on having a family

I have extreme dark circles and my tear trough is very hollow. The concealers never work, the dark color is always visible sooner or later. I've asked on some local cosmetologist groups and they just said to accept it, but I'm not going to. My cosmetologist said I shouldn't use any fillers because they will only make it worse.
I've been to many different specialists, I don't have any deficits, they said it's just my feature. Please don't tell me to have my blood examined or whatever, I've already done that a million times.
Is it even possible to make the tear through and the area next to my nose more smooth and not so hollow? The last pic is what I want approximately

I need to talk about this, and although I have really great friends, I decided not to worry them or give the impression of longing attention since nothing really happened.
I have a history of passing out. Last year, we were blaming it on my disordered eating since I was starving myself. I got out of it myself. That's why I'm not referring to it as an eating disorder. Therefore, I didn't really pay attention to it. This year, I'm doing way better. I love going cycling with my dad. Today was nothing extraordinary. I ate two boiled eggs, some chocolate, and coffee for breakfast. The weather was quite hot so we went out cycling. Almost reaching our destination, I fainted. I stopped seeing well, which sometimes happens when I stand up fast, but that usually isn't a big deal. I went off of my cycle and sat down on the floor and my dad was getting a little scared (Although I did pass out quite a bit last year he mostly wasn't present since it happened outside while I was doing sports, thats why he got scared). We were about to meet someone, so I was a little worried to be late and tried to push myself off the floor. I was now standing and telling my dad that I'm fine and that we should continue since I didn't want to make him wait. Right after that, I passed out. My dad was holding me up, so I didn't fall on the floor. In total, it took me about half an hour to fully be conscious again. My dad asked me if he should call the ambulance since he was really scared, but I was totally against this idea since that sounded really expensive to me. I'm really grateful that we can afford it, but I didn't view it as necessary.
This was a little vent from today. After I was fully conscious, we dropped off some stuff to the guy. I was worried, making wait. After that we went swimming and looked at some museums so happy end I guess.

My girlfriend recently got a bit of a change in her work allowing her to work remotely and she wants to move to the netherlands and I'm kinda freakin out as i did not see this coming, not this soon at least

Hey! I'm 30M, 184cm 88kg, caucasian from Finland. I've started depression medication 4 days ago (Brintellix / Vortioxetine, 10mg/day) and I have epilepsy but it's unmedicated (no seizures for ~15 years).
I have had sore throat/pain for 3 weeks. First 2 days I also had flu symptoms. The pain is very strong and makes drinkin liquids difficult (water is hell, tea is slightly better) and eating almost impossible. I've only waten soups for 2 weeks. Sleeps is also difficult/impossible since it brings the pain and it doesn't go away unlike with liquids. The pain was first only on the right side of my throat close to behind my adams apple, but I can now feel on the left side as well and closet to the base of my tongue. I also started to feel soreness in my whole mouth and tongue. Sleeping for the last week has only been possible sitting up. My throat also seems to get really dry no matter what I try to do, drinking 3-4L of liquids a day, putting on a humidifier. Throat lozenges can give temporary relief but at times just cause pain from increased swallowing. I was told to take pain meds (800mg ibuprofein + 1g paracetamol three times/day) and wait this out about a week ago, but they don't feel to help with the pain and this hasn't been getting better.
I've had 3 swaps for strepto all negative, CRP test was under 50. I've had an oral endoscopy (I think that's the name) to see if there is something stuck in my throat and everything "looked good". I got started on Somac/Pantoprazole 2x40mg/day for GERD though I can't say I've identified any symptoms except the pain in my throat. After few days I can't say I've felt any difference yet. The doctor I saw last said the next step would be for a chirurgeon to do a stomach endoscopy if Somac doesn't help.
So far I've seen 3 doctors about this and spoken with 3 others via online healthcare about this. Does it seem like everything is being taken into account here? I feel like they mostly do not care about my situation, one even said there is nothing concerning about my health status when I had slept less than 15h over 4 days and barely eaten two plates of pureed soup because of the pain..
PS. I rarely drink, I don't smoke (social smoker when I was around 20), I don't do drugs.
