Recently, we noticed an increased amount of nonsensical explanatory comments with no relation in any way, shape or form to the theme of this subreddit.
The "_leopards ate my face_" theme is embodied by this quote in the sidebar.
> "_I never thought leopards would eat **my** face_", sobs woman who voted for the _Leopards Eating People's Faces Party_. Revel in the schadenfreude anytime someone has a sad because they're suffering consequences from something they voted for, supported or wanted to impose on other people.
This statement made out of 3 parts, not in that order.
1. **Someone** voted for, supported or wanted to impose **something** on **other people**.
2. **Something** has the consequences of **consequences**.
3. As a consequence of **something**, **consequences** happened to **someone**.
In your explanatory comment, answer these 3 elements and include the minimum amount of information necessary so your post can be understood by everyone, even if they don't live in the US or speak English as their native language. If you fail to identify them, it will be difficult for a moderator to understand if this post fits and it will probably be removed. If you complain about it, we'll just send you back [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/LeopardsAteMyFace/comments/lt8zlq).
The explanatory comment is not the place to write a pretty poem nor is it the place to promote books. Copying this post, copying large parts of the article and nonsensical comments will get your post removed under rule #3. Keep it stupid simple.
To help you get started, here's an example.
1. Helen, Roberto Beristain's wife, voted for Donald Trump, who vowed to impose deportation to illegal immigrants such as her husband.
2. Voting for Trump, who vowed to deport illegal immigrants such as Roberto Beristain, has the consequence of having illegal immigrants deported and families separated.
3. As a consequence of voting for Trump, Roberto Beristain got deported and Helen's family was separated.
You should absolutely make sure that it is easy to match your explanatory comment with the provided format or your post will be mercilessly removed. If, however, you can't match your explanatory comment with the format, then you should just delete your post and save us the effort.
Additionally, we've identified several types of posts that do not fit the theme of this subreddit.
* **Bye bye job:** People losing their job, a business, a scholarship, an admission or a similar kind of opportunity due to their actions online or in person, but those actions don't imply that they vote for, support or want to impose something on other people that then had consequences on them.
* **Distinct enabler and victim:** The person who voted for, supported or wanted to impose something must be the same person who's suffering the consequences. For example, if a parent is not vaccinating their children and then those children get sick, then those children are innocent victims of their parent's abuse. They didn't vote for, supported or wanted to impose being vulnerable to preventable diseases on anyone, so the post doesn't fit the subreddit's theme.
* **Fuck the law:** When someone breaks the law and then suffers the consequence of the law, they probably didn't vote for, support or want to impose that law on other people in the first place. Includes all the r/CapitolConsequences.
* **Future consequences:** Yes, Trump is going to do bad things once he's in office. But he's not in office until 20 January 2025. This subreddit is not about future hypotheticals.
* **Hypocrisy:** Someone says something but then does the opposite.
* **Lesser of two evils:** Posts must induce schadenfreude, but it is not the case when someone is forced to make a tough choice because the other choices are equally terrible or worse.
* **No consequences:** Being shocked, feeling regrets, getting criticized and panicking are not consequences. A consequence refers to a real-world event that has actually happened to someone.
* **Self-aware wolves:** Someone accidentally describes themselves but they're not self-aware enough to realize it.
* **Sudden betrayal:** In the case of a betrayal, the betrayer must've been known to betray people in the first place.

I last posted a variation of this a little over 5 years ago. We're a little overdue for a repost.
---
You know how every Uber rating is right on the verge of 5 stars unless something's particularly off? Everyone's all "A+++ would ride again." Same for eBay, Amazon, etc.
You can think of /r/relationship_advice comments in much the same way, only inverted. Just about every post here talking about a problem is going to be a magnet for "break up with them" and "get rid of them" comments. Two things to keep front of mind when you're submitting:
1. The vast majority of people posting here are posting because they've got a challenge they probably haven't been able to resolve on their own.
2. In many cases, these challenges are either insurmountable or exceedingly difficult to manage.
The majority of commenters aren't *necessarily* cynical/assholes, but combine both a one-sided account of what happened—your account—with each commenter's own potential history, grievances, etc., and the resulting brew is pretty dark, meaning that every post will get drenched in comments suggesting ending the dynamic.
The number of serious comments suggesting _an alternative to ending things_ is a good way to tell whether or not there's merit to, well, ending things. I'll carry that Uber analogy a bit further:
* Let's say you're asking about behavior that's so bad, the red flag's basically bleeding. Nearly every single comment will tell you to run, and you're having a hard time finding well-reasoned counter-arguments to it. Sounds like running is good advice. **Zero stars** on our inverted Uber scale; the relationship is cooked.
* Together but your s/o cheated on you once? Most comments will probably tell you to run because "once a cheater, always a cheater." Some comments might suggest you should stay and work it out, but the details of how the cheating happened might vary the number of these comments. Great; **One or Two Stars.**
* Married but your s/o got drunk and made out with someone else, felt awful about it, immediately left the event where they met that other person and told you what happened and apologized with no prior history of cheating? Many people might _still_ tell you to leave (same reason), but odds are good that a fair number of people might suggest staying. Awesome; **Two, maybe even three stars.**
* Good relationship with your S/O but they forget to treat you in the love language you normally need to thrive? Maybe they forget to bring you token flowers/trinkets or other signs of appreciation but otherwise everything's pretty good? Many comments will probably be advice on how to communicate; there'll probably still be a good number of people suggesting you should just leave, but you can take these with a grain of salt. **Three to four stars.**
* Everything's rosey and you're looking for a way to celebrate your s/o's special promotion, anniversary, birthday, or something else? There'll be a few trolls who tell you to break up for asking the subreddit for advice, but it sounds like the relationship is **four to five stars.**
You can apply this to any type of relationship question asked here. Platonic, professional, and other relationships that aren't exactly romantic, this still works. You get the idea.
Basically, the people telling you to leave probably outnumber the people with less jaded opinions by an order of magnitude because many, many people have had shitty experiences that dominate their memories, so the best way to consider most advice here is to see whether other advice shines through the cosmic negativity background. If everyone's telling you to break up, that's probably what you should do, but if 1/4 of the comments are telling you another way, you'd benefit by giving that 25% a chance.
---
##TL;DR:
The vast majority of comments will tell you to end things. It's a side effect of the fact that many people reading either have a very dim view of relationships or just do it for the drama. The more people tell you to consider something _other_ than running, the more value there is in trying that other approach, whatever it is.

# Staying Safe While Sexting
Sexting can be an intimate and exciting way to connect, but it's crucial to prioritize your safety and privacy. **Here are some essential tips to keep in mind:**
1. **Think Before You Send:** Once you send a photo or message, you lose control over where it goes. Always consider the potential consequences before hitting send.
2. **Avoid Sharing Personal Information:** Never share sensitive details like your full name, address, phone number, or any other personal information. This includes on social media profiles linked to your sexting accounts.
3. **Use Secure Apps:** Choose messaging apps that offer end-to-end encryption to help keep your conversations private. Examples include Signal and WhatsApp.
4. **Be Cautious with Photos:** Avoid showing your face, distinctive tattoos, birthmarks, or any other identifying features in the photos you send. This can help maintain your anonymity.
5. **Set Boundaries:** Establish clear boundaries with your sexting partner about what you’re comfortable sharing and what you’re not. Respect and consent are paramount.
6. **Watch for Red Flags:** Be wary of anyone who pressures you to share more than you’re comfortable with, especially if they threaten or coerce you.
7. **Consider Secure AI Chats:** For a risk-free and anonymous sexting experience, consider using secure AI chat platforms. These platforms ensure your conversations remain confidential and safe, as the sexting partner is not human but AI.
# Secure AI Sexting Options:
* [Create My AI:](https://jerkoffoncam.com/AiChat) Create your own AI sexting partner for a personalized and safe experience.
* [Explore AI Characters:](https://jerkoffoncam.com/ExploreAiChat) Discover and interact with various AI characters to find the perfect sexting partner.
**Remember, your safety and privacy come first. Always think twice, and stay safe!** | r/jerkoffchat | post | r/JerkOffChat | 2024-06-26 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jSThVTTE0RFNya1VvcnV3MHY1NUt2SEtFdG14RzItRGdBX2F1cWE3bzZCdzhvVjRfZG91Y0ttbk5xRHdKbnF4YnNqQzc5X05vQ09JZFplcjZVX2U3UlE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kWENzWUc0N2ZjSEJNLXRPSnE5OHZLLXVOSkp3VnRqdktHcXpnblJ0Y250aE5jSkNnZnphOWh1WUdPS3ZtQUxDeHBna1pTT0VicllqeGZUZzFCcnJTZjh6MmVqVUZ2S3J0ZS1UNFh6Vk1RUDI5NVA0dENKTjBQSFBvQ2luem1JU05fbjdORGJiRGR0RlNQTm5vRDR3elozQzVscGpzSzlsUWJYUU5NbWVqYndYZEx6MUJfelNObFMzNFhxMzBSQklfZ1F2U19KejJCX21raDFoY0dZWmZpdz09 |

**You must verify that you understand our rules in order to make submissions in** r/GOONED **(you do not need to verify to comment).**
**Please read all our rules and follow instructions below to get verified**
⚠️Rules are strictly enforced. Reddit admins have shut us down in the past so we are extra vigilant against non consensual porn and other sketchy or illegal content. Thanks for reading.
# Full rules:
**1️⃣ No illegal or sketchy**
^(Don't post or ask for anything illegal, or that could get us shut down \(against Reddit ToS.\)) **^(Anything vaguely sketchy will be removed and you will be banned so just don't post it.)**
^(**No young stuff at all**)^(, we will ban and report to relevant authorities if you post or reference anything vaguely about minors \(under 18 so do not post anything like teens, loli, daughter, braceface etc. No involuntary porn of any kind \(creepshots, deepfakes etc or any discussion of people you know IRL.\))
**2️⃣ (⚠️new rule) Only porn allowed - no non nudes or social media pictures**
^(This is a porn subreddit so) **^(ONLY explicit porn or porn stars are allowed to be posted.)**
^(No non nudes of celebrities, influencers or ANY other people who are not publicly involved with the adult industry (must have public nudes\). We will remove any and all content that is not explicit porn. You will be banned if you discuss people you know in real life or post pictures from social media. AI, deepfaked, edited, photoshopped or leaked pics are considered involuntary porn and are also banned.)
**3️⃣ Be nice - LGBTQ+ friendly, no racial or gender discrimination**
^(This subreddit welcomes porn of all orientations. Straight, bi, trans, queer, gay (or any combination!\) porn are all welcome! You can downvote the posts you don't want to see but don't trash talk or be toxic to other members of the community. Don't post problematic kinks like black or white domination or use other degrading language. Using slurs or other hateful speech will get you banned.)
**4️⃣ No selling or advertising links**
^(Sellers or anyone with paid content on their profile are not allowed to post in this subreddit unless given special permission (do not verify here\). Do not post on behalf of anyone one else for the purposes of advertising. Any links or baiting titles asking for upvotes or clicks will be considered advertising. Don't post links of any kind or redirect people to profiles or other sites.)
**5️⃣ No personals/request/feed me/engagement baiting**
^(Posts are intended to be for porn. Do not make a new post for finding gooners. Use the local and online meetup threads that are pinned on the top of the page.

Please use r/GOONEDmeetup for personals and meetups.)

Thanks for verifying!
Automod will immediately send you a private message if your verification was successful. Otherwise, make sure you meet our requirements and try again. [Link to make a submission](https://www.reddit.com/r/gooned/submit).
**Note about automated filters:** Automod/Reddit spam filters will still remove your post if you post sketchy stuff. If you aren't sure why your post is not showing up, try changing the title wording (don't use sketchy language). Brand new users will still need to wait until your account meets the age requirement before being allowed to verify. Thanks again for helping us cut down on spam :)
**Note about porn addiction:** Yes, we are all here to enjoy porn but if porn is having a negative effect on your life (be honest, you know who you are), there is help and resources out there to support you. r/NoFap and r/PornFree are great communities with resources to help you. Addiction is not a joke, don't ruin your life for internet points.

In the wake of r/canada designating Sundays as an "Opinion Free Zone", we have decided to extend it to include Saturdays. This was spurred by an AMA held by the moderation team to solicit user thoughts about this subreddit. Among the takeaways was the growing disdain for Opinion posts, of which there are several posted daily.
As a result, we are immediately proceeding with the removal of any Opinion content posted on weekends. It is our hope that this move can foster a wider variety of submissions on more diverse topics than politics or culture wars.
We also remind users that if they wish to post or comment on Opinion pieces during the remainder of the week, you must be an account in good standing and possess a verified email on your account. | r/canada | post | r/canada | 2024-09-20 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jcF9ZMkxFNUN6LXRIUG5rQWZicTdPTjU2YmJwUHA3aWRJNDlPMlctRE5hLWhuZThKMW5IaTZqRGZmbENmbzZCNm8wQXZPcEt0dHprUFFZeUtsVjVWTXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kLVRFVmdRTjhLVW9ZMGtFZFJNZW1wVE5WdDRpXzg4Zi01empfa3ljamhXcXBXenpMUXVMYjRheEJNenFORXg3YmlwQUlRZ2trTFphWEMycDVIQXlGallxUVZrbkRpbm1wZnIydVNCblkyOC14YzJxTFJOU1d2TFVMUDJCbzFYRUFOY3VLanJodFhqeHlKVGVRcW42UEpVal8tUzZ2S2NvYWdWMi1OU2VwaWRrZmp4NS1EX3dIOVl2LVRJdVZJVU9VeVYyMGdsNlJHRUg4ajhxVVZ1aGlOQT09 |

Making this PSA as we’ve seen an increase in comments begging for art under random posts not tagged as Art and Creative Offer.
It’s become especially prevalent within post tagged Gift Art where we’ll see comments such as “can you do mine next?”, although we’ve seen them happen everywhere - including under posts where the OP is simply sharing their own art of their own OC.
Not only is this against the rules and should be reported if you come across such comments, it’s also **extremely rude** to be asking in the first place.
This is a subreddit for OCs, not a free art market. If you’d like your OCs drawn by someone, wait for Friday and ask under offer posts, go on other subreddits dedicated to having things drawn for you, or commission an artist.
As a side note, if we find you to be sliding in our user’s DMs to get free art, you will be issued a warning as well, so don’t try to circumvent the rules.
Here’s a few examples of what you *shouldn’t* comment :
“I love your art! Can you please draw my character?” -> Adding a compliment doesn’t make it any less of a request.
“You’ve drawn this fanart, can I get fanart too?” -> Artists are not art dispensers.
“I’m so sad I missed your offer post, could you draw my character anyways” -> Better luck next time, don’t ask outside the offers.
“I saw your posts on r/OriginalCharacter, do you take requests?” -> Unless you’re trying to legitimately commission someone, we’ll treat this as you trying to get around the rules.
If you come across such comments, please do report them. If you receive these messages via DMs, you may contact us via modmail and we’ll take a look at the situation. | r/originalcharacter | post | r/OriginalCharacter | 2025-02-23 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jT1JTellMeklsZmxZUVNXWWsyQW53QTlyV3BWMDVlZXl4U3Y1RC1pUHJSWUN4bWJwYjdTb3kzOUowY0ROcEQ3TjFETkdKY2hXS2Y4Q0hIM1ZfUjBDZDJ0dHZnQ0NUODJ2bU1XMDFZdkZtNEE9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kOWZSMmh0eHpyQUpuMzZ2b3hxQWx1bmoyeWNzbnRjMXhCWnVjOFdYcHdja2JQWnJockw5aVd2eG1Bc0ZoSzFJekVRZW94c3dwQ1N2OUdJQ29aeUwtdjNoMHhPLTBidFBjbHdzZzRKVzJEdi1zcVUwTm8wRzdGS1VZamtWZlhQUzVSbURBOXZHajM1QVhFSi1jaUtEUEZOaEVCV3dCYXhXdURvQVpHaHYwa2JRUHFUVlhMcWd1Nl96NTFwdjdWOFJJSWRZR016T25Fck1ldFRzMXVyS2xEZz09 |

Hi Everyone,
Recently we've received an increase in queries regarding our allowance for posts flaired as "Mourning/Loss". I'd like to address those posts here and why we allow them in the most coherent way I can.
As long as I've been a mod here (Almost a year and a half) these posts have been allowed, and to my knowledge, there was never a time when they were NOT allowed here. The reason we allow these posts is because as our name "r/cats" suggests, we are dedicated to all things cat related. To us, Losing a beloved cat falls under that "cat related" criteria. While we understand that these posts may be upsetting to some users, the alternative would be to not allow them which may upset users in mourning. Unfortunately, with those options presented, it is impossible to please everyone. My personal advice (as someone who has lost a cat before) is to put yourself in the shoes of the users in mourning if you are against these posts. How would you feel if you took the time to write a tribute and pick out photos of your cat just for the post to be deleted?
If you are not mentally in a place where seeing a mourning/loss post is something you can handle, I recommend moving away from our subreddit, our goal is not to hurt you by allowing these posts.
**WITH ALL OF THAT SAID, I WANT TO BE PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT WE DO NOT ALLOW PHOTOS OF DEAD CATS. IF YOU SEE A POST THAT CONTAINS A DECEASED CAT (OR ANY DECEASED ANIMAL IN GENERAL, INCLUDING ANIMALS HUNTED BY CATS) PLEASE REPORT IT TO US. WE DO NOT IN ANY CAPACITY ALLOW PHOTOS OF DECEASED CATS TO BE POSTED TO OUR SUBREDDIT.**
If you have any questions regarding this post or anything you'd like to add, please feel free to comment below

This megathread is meant for discussion of the current **Russo-Ukrainian War**, also known as the **Russian invasion of Ukraine**. Please read our [current rules](https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/wiki/community_rules), but also the extended rules below.

### **Current rules extension:**
Extended [r/europe ruleset](https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/wiki/community_rules) to curb hate speech and disinformation:
- While we already ban hate speech, we'll remind you that hate speech against the civilians of the combatants is against our rules, including but not limited to Ukrainians, **Russians**, Belarusians, Syrians, Azeris, Armenians, Georgians, etc. The same applies to the population of countries actively helping Ukraine or Russia.
- **Calling for the killing of invading troops or leaders is allowed, but the mods have the discretion to remove egregious comments**, and the ones that disrespect the point made above. The limits of international law apply.
- **No unverified reports of any kind in the comments or in submissions on r/europe**. We will remove videos of any kind unless they are verified by reputable outlets. This also affects videos published by Ukrainian and Russian government sources.
- **Absolutely no justification of this invasion**.
- In addition to our rules, **we ask you to add a NSFW/NSFL tag if you're going to link to graphic footage** or anything can be considered upsetting, including combat footage or dead people.
### Submission rules
These are rules for submissions to r/europe front-page.
- No status reports about the war unless they have major implications (e.g. "City X still holding" would not be allowed, "Russia takes major city" would be allowed. "Major attack on Kherson repelled" would also be allowed.)
- **All dot ru domains have been banned by Reddit as of 30 May**. They are hardspammed, so not even mods can approve comments and submissions linking to Russian site domains.
- Some Russian sites that ends with `.com` are also hardspammed, like TASS and Interfax, and mods can't re-approve them.
- The Internet Archive and similar archive websites are also blacklisted here, by us or Reddit.
- We've been adding substack domains in our u/AutoModerator script, but we aren't banning all of them. If your link has been removed, please notify the moderation team, explaining who's the person managing that substack page.
- We ask you or your organization to not spam our subreddit with petitions or promote their new non-profit organization. While we love that people are pouring all sorts of efforts on the civilian front, we're limited on checking these links to prevent scam.
- No promotion of a new cryptocurrency or web3 project, other than the official Bitcoin and ETH addresses from Ukraine's government.

Me (20m) and my girlfriend (19f) have been together for two years and a half, we have conflicts like any other couple, but this time it feels a lot different to me and my person. About two weeks ago she told me about how she has been seeing on instagram reels about how the moon landing is fake, I thought it was funny and we debated about it in a funny and playful way, I kept pointing out how it wouldn't make sense because of this and that, we left it at that we agree to disagree, but recently she has told me that she also believes that there is a dome around the flat earth, that the ice wall is real, that the moon landing was faked, and tonight she recently told me that she isn't sure where airplanes go, I wasn't even sure what she meant by that, she keeps telling me to watch the reels that she sends me but I just can't bring myself to it, and it makes me feel sad that she is turning into this. I even made a bet with her as a joke that by the end of the week she will believe in reptilians as well, and to be honest, I don't think it's a joke anymore. When I was younger I used to watch all of those theories but I kind of grew out of them, right now I just feel alone and that she isn't who I thought she was, I feel horrible for thinking this, but I feel like she isn't as smart as I thought she was, I don't know if to push through this together, to break up with her, I honestly don't know what to do? TLDR: I don't feel the same way towards my girlfriend after she started to believe every theory she sees on instagram reels. | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-03 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jeHNVMkNKZHlvR2dtNGNrSXRMVThzNzFLMElkYmZVMmhjR1hYb0FwcjFXTHRsU2RQeFp6UHg3WU5WdnJwVFg2N1hONkx5eW0taXdfdXZOeDV4Wm5kQXhtMzZaWXM5OXVBV1N6Z3VKQmMwXzA9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kU3hTbk4wOW94aGNKZFRzSUlsdFFLbG42RnhmNUxtOVA3c21pZUphUVdZZ2hkT0t6Tks3aVZjT3dLZFRmTXBtN3Y2ZlhHWXVRVG5Wemg3ZFBZVUlyblNpdlZORFBIa29ZRV9xQkMxS1haN2NIZGs0VHpsbzZBTXFMQ2k2Q1hnT1A4TFBpaFF4UXhiSU1FRmVMeXk0dXMyZ2dnSmdXNURrNVZUb3ZtMjBxUG03TUhUWFlQLVhGU09nRExIOW9GdURzNU9fUm1SWklmQjU2dnNtbjhKZmZhQT09 |

Hi Guys, here is the update to my crazy donor situation.
First of all, thanks a lot for your ideas. One of the commenters suggested that I write it down and I did. That was brilliant: i am really struggling to communicate my thoughts when I am nervous and speaking. I gathered all of your points/suggestions and sent this message:
>"Hi, mom. I talked to my doctor and reviewed/researched the topic of the donation. I will not be doing that (I do not qualify for this anyways). I also find it quite inconsiderate to ask me for that after my experience last year. I as well very disappointed that you did not give a second thought on how it will influence me, my mental health and the dynamic of the relationships in our family.
>Regarding your pregnancy, it is fully your decision but i would like your to consider the following points:
>\-> I am worried how it will affect your health (pregnancy is complicated and dangerous experience given your condition. Even the best doctors wont be able to help in certain situations)
>\-> \[little bro's name\] is still way too young and still needs you a lot. It is irresponsible towards him
>\-> pregnancy in 60s has high chances of abnormality. It is irresponsible towards this hypothetical child
>\-> even if it all works out, I am afraid you wont be able to provide necessary care to this child esp in his teens/young adulthood
>\-> you will have to do childcare alone (we both know your hb won't help) and you just started to do the self-care you needed. Additional stress and work is not what you need at this stage in your life - you should be enjoying your retirement.
>I really hope you will look into this before you decide to proceed."
I was left on read for some time (tbh I kind of thought it is NC time again).
Then she answered. SHE APOLOGISED (!) and she SAID I WAS RIGHT (!!) and that she didnt want to offend me. The only thing she claimed I am wrong about: she will stay very active in her 80s and that it is more a psychological barrier people have (sure, mum 😒, not physical at all).
I answered "sure, I hope you stay active until your 100s". And that was it.
I am still shocked that it went so smoothly. I know it doesn't sound very exciting for you but in my eyes that this is giant: my mum never apologizes. I guess she actually did not want it as well (or maybe stroke after last round of ivf was scary enough? idk). A compulsory question in the end: any thoughts? | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-03 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jeDJvWU8xblJ4NkhPRXRGTFAxMDVvVFBLV3RDd0FZUVZ6Q3I0aVlSQ2gzSVZGRXR3V1JjSDhTalg1OHJtM0lmRFp0QkZpR0hKdUpiNlVsQk52ZUhKdXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kWG1jTnNNRmhKdTY4LWJHdnZKY1hoVnBpZFVkeE5VUGxOcTJOVFZIc1ZVWHdsdlNjaFFOX1VVY1BvdF9fSXJBZk55SHRFWUQ4eW91R19FZkRzSkdkWkpRVXh3eVJtODkwN0tWN18tODlxNThRVG4wNUdTYWVQM29hQ0hDSmJrd2h3WnNfSHN3RGlMTjFNZHVPbU5KZTl0UG11bmFyRVdjWlcyZDNuWEtHSFZkZHNqUEpGR1J4Zmt6RUhYODNZTW9xRGVZaHZ3eHh5X1JTWTE5Q0R0VUFCUT09 |

Hello! I'm creating another tierlist. This time, it's to see if Shadow would give your avatar one of her souls, and which ones.
For this, please tell me your avatar's lore, a reason why they would need a soul, and optionally, their personality. Keep in mind that Shadow almost never shares the most powerful souls she has stored in jars (and well, her souls in general), so the tier your avatar gets will depend on the reason.
Obviously, I'll add more tiers if necessary.
Comment any emoji with your avatar so I know you're reading this; otherwise, I'll have to ignore you or put your avatar in the green tier, unless I know it. | r/robloxavatars | post | r/RobloxAvatars | 2025-04-03 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jVHd3eGhVQWxabjNSX3Nzc2VOTEtTSVBTcHA5aFJuN0l5dVdKVTBZZks2M2NTckZNUUg0dFIyMmlrWHlxRnc5YUlMUHQtTXpmOWFBWC1PVlBRdi1zS0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kU3lmOFYySWlobDRyeEQ2dlotaTBOOVpMQzlkTmdyY3dKTWk3aDFvZXRaTXZHSTNmbjVuYXg2VnRQSHlDT0E1UmVzUVkxaXVrMzVvbHRRNDYtOTM0UklPX2ZZemItdUMzOGlGU2g5U2R4NWlJY095OFdOaC16WldheGZxRFY0RE9iSEg1N2xjM1B2VHUxd005NTFRWTVDNUtERGRLVE1TOHRHQTQ3dzJnNmNYQXk5aENLa1BCZXNVMFBnQ1F1TFdvOFNyNFk5MElWS1BXM252ZVJwcnpTdz09 |
Hi again everyone. I first want to thank all the people that responded. I really didn't expect to get so much advice. I probably would've still been panicking and bottling this up if you guys didn't help out. Unfortunately it still went bad, but I'm glad I listened to you guys for it all. Also, to clarify a few things I saw people get confused on in the comments. My fiance is gay, and I never doubted his loyalty which is why I barely mentioned him in the original post. I was mostly concerned about my sister since we had wanted her in the wedding party so it was extra scary to hear she was crushing on my fiance. Along with that, I know a lot of you said to just leave it be, but for the reason above along with my personal beliefs, I really didn't want to let it simmer.
Anyways, I ended up talking with my fiance the day after I made the post, once he got home from work and we were settled. I sort of word vomited at him, but I tried to remember the advice I had gotten. He was equally disturbed, probably a bit more since he has dealt with a similar situation at work once. We both definitely wanted to talk to her and just clear the air, and ended up making a little plan to meet her in a park. Originally, It was only going to be me, but my fiance wanted to stay nearby in the car.
So yesterday I texted her and we met. Honestly I'm still recovering from everything she said to me, so I won't repeat much of it here. The basic gist is that once we chatted for a bit, I brought it up gently that I had heard her at the reunion party and wanted to communicate with her about the things she said. One thing I didn't feel the need to mention in the original post was that I am also a transgender man. It didn't matter to the issue, or at least I thought it didn't. However once I asked my sister, she started on a whole tirade with a lot of right-wing talking points, mostly that she didn't get why my fiance was settled for a "confused girl" rather than someone like her, and admitting that yes, she has feelings for him since she thinks he deserves better than me. I didn't say much to her but once I realized what was going on I just said that I was done and left. I really don't know how she's changed so much since the girl I grew up with. She used to be super supportive, which she even acknowledged and said she was just as lost as I am.
After that I was just a mess, so I apologize for not updating sooner. My sister is living with my parents while she works to get a job in the new area so she's also started telling them about the conversation. Both of my parents don't want to get involved, which I understand and I tried texting her to tell her to stop bothering them but she blocked me, so I guess that's that. My fiance wants to cut her from the wedding as a whole, and I'm just leaning on him as a pillar right now. I wish this was a happier update, and I still really don't know what to do. Still, thank you all for the advice you gave, and if you guys have any advice on how to deal with this new issue, I'd take it. Is there a way to get through to her? | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-03 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jckYwcjMtWUVvcjNtSDBLLUlOMTFUanppOEhhUjEwS0UwR0JfYVh2V1U0MjkzV1RoUDZxTU5KMGVhWV9kekJHaF9ORWxVR3ZLWlB3N09XS1otSm50WGxrM3F4QjVrazRBOFdqaThiamRqSWM9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kc29QYlEtWkhDTGNsSkpBZFpnTWZzUGx5ZHBaVXpJd2R2a0EteFFfdTdkR2ZsRHByUVR4MWF1Z1Eway03RVdnbGhNUjFoRWlxZ3pmWloxV0JDcklheXB1ekJyZUNWRVlnbkJxU1JNb0E0SWl5V3NNc3hHVEloNzNkbDBDMGNXOVhRd0drSDVPR09ZcVpZS256M0diSk5uLTJ0bnp4YXB6bDRmVVVYbXFPZVJndW9RMXN1TGFVcWxXLUdPWFdLRUxrdlM0aWhMblJad2w3Znp6Qk95eUlVdz09 |

I wasn't really sure what tag to put this under. This conversation was literally two hours ago after school. This guy at my school keeps asking me to have sex with him almost daily. He either asks straight up or he whispers my name and when i turn around he slightly reveals a condom wrapper out his pocket. We are both in secondary school/ highschool and both 18 and the reason I even have his number is because we use to be friends at the start of secondary. I'm not sure how to go about this and who even to report this to since it goes on outside of school aswell. And I kind of feel if I do report this I would be overreacting and bothering people and that I should just figure this out myself.
Does anyone have anything that could help me.
It's quite embarrassing so I just want to ask for public advice anonymously even if that isn't the best thing to do. | r/amioverreacting | post | r/AmIOverreacting | 2025-04-03 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jbHdaZTdBUUtBYlM0ZUF3al85WlJnV25DWVlFQmR1bC1mc2xLdzJkbUs3N3FCRzRkVnJ4cXZKd01HazBhRm5RWlpYTEhyOU5oODZhYXlXbWtBX3FGSEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kSVBqYzhaN2taTXRKRlk4c3BoTTdndy1NaUc5UE9fcTg3eFl3eS1xZGllNUtPS3NiQW96MjNramxLSnRYaXlMTjRGYlpjcmhOb1BCUkwyOE5TblVOV3l4anBUVUpBck8xNS15RGMwcHVhZmZxWlNrbVhmTU02NEp3b3N2NGYyTy1MdUxtaUxxdzZvZVZyLTdiWVo3ekl4U1FNOU9VakJNR2ZfWjEtb3NSXzNqRkZBX2ZJbjVKNUVVSVZrT2ZLMHUy |

UPDATE: Hotel said they can not give me CCTV without a subpoena
Please don’t just tell me I fucked up by drinking. I know I did. Don’t beat a dead horse. I usually don’t drink at work and everyone else does and this time I think it was a combination of a bit of peer pressure and the fact that I’m going through a lot in my personal life. I will never drink at work again. I’m an idiot, I get it.
EDIT: I am nearly certain I was not drugged but I’ll get a test. I drank a lot…. I just don’t know how to interact with him moving forward any advice on that would be appreciated
I work in a bit of a boys club environment where everyone goes out after big meetings and gets trashed. I’m the youngest by a long shot and was hired because I wrote an influential paper that got a lot of traction. Everyone else is married or divorced. I have NEVER slept with a coworker, and this is the first “one night stand” I’ve had in 4-5 years. I’m not this person.
I haven’t spoken much or spent much time around this guy, but he’s a c suite executive at my work. We went out and I don’t even remember talking much to him. I talked to another friend of mine. The next day I asked my coworker (48M, friendly) how it was and said the last thing I remember is sitting and talking with you and he said yeah it was obvious you got too drunk and you were kinda quiet and ready to go home. We all went back to the hotel and you sort of disappeared after that.
I have NO RECOLLECTION of coming back to the hotel, NO RECOLLECTION of talking to this guy at the bars- only before trying to get to know him a bit. I don’t know if I initiated it, but that would be out of character. He’s got a wife and kids. I was wearing a shirt that is difficult to unbutton sober, but I woke up in my own bed with it off. It seems like based on text records that this occurred maybe 3am or so.
The next day c suite executive calls me and says I left something in his room. He says be sure that I don’t text him about this call him tell him how good it was or anything because he can’t ruin his relationship with his wife. He said this all has to be kept a secret. He said he will discreetly give me back my item the next time we see eachother later this month.
WHAT THE HELL DO I DO???? Part of me wants to ask him what happened. I’m dying to know- I can’t stop thinking about it. How did I get to his room? How did I get back to mine? Who initiated? Did I fall asleep? Was I active or did I just lay there? Did he finish? Where? I have so many questions….
I understand that this could be assault, but I don’t really want to move forward with HR etc because what if I initiated it? I don’t want to ruin his life and I don’t want to ruin my reputation. I don’t want anyone else to know. What if he hates me after this and seeks to ruin me or doesn’t see me as worth anything professionally?
I think it will be easy to keep this quiet and sweep it under the rug, but I don’t know how to interact with him. Is it a bad idea to ask him what happened and all those other questions? I am mostly just embarrassed and sad that I don’t know what happened but I don’t feel violated. If anything, taken advantage of due to the fact that he’s over twice my age, has more $ and power than I ever will, and clearly wasn’t as drunk as I was. But it doesn’t feel like this was some evil thing he did on purpose.
I know I wouldn’t have made that choice sober, but there’s no evidence of violence or force so it’s impossible to say what happened. Legally in my country I know this is assault/illegal. I was trying to get to know him a bit at the meeting way before the drinking- since we have never spoken and he is influential in our industry so maybe he mistook it as flirting.
I just don’t know how to minimize the impact of this event on my life. I don’t know how to interact with him moving forward, I don’t know if I should pretend it never happened or ask for more info from him or tell him I was upset by this….
Edit: c suite executive is like the heads of the company. CEO CFO etc. google it for more info | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-03 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jM3N6bnROVm5sbGxCazU0QXQtYTd0SnROWWNvRzhvZS05OVpLaS1acHBnNFJqeWs2R0FTTlpDcVdRVnljQkp1S0dyR1JqOXM4eWlkOW5QODVvRXpKa0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kai1VVGd5SkxMT19ockx2WDNaVVhhdjE5NERHdUpoYmRmV2FpRnFFOHdaMVR1cERxd0NpczhUREdUc1hoUUlTNmxwRm9adlJWQVJQNm9lbkZ2S05SOFFTNC02Yk1yMFZJdDlGcnY1TktCdV9JQy1feDZlTE42MEktRG5vZHJoOE0wa0M5NTk4RGhNUTJNdkVaMkZQbm1Zcjc1Zkp5WEl5ZDBUY0tXYUJoQWxWaEM4SVBkXzJNc203RkQ0MFBRenBVeTNWOTVlMjFUTHVTcXJOcEZNaGlRQT09 |

1. The LEGO Movie: After giving the prophecy, Vitruvius says ends it with "All of this is true, because it rhymes." We laugh because it's poking fun at a cliche and is in line with the movie's humor. Lord Business then says Vitruvius made it up before kicking him away. We laugh again. Turns out Vitruvius WAS making it up and that awkward, suspiciously-specific last line was a hint.
2. BioShock Infinite: In the bank, Elizabeth finds out 50% of the money that goes in goes to Comstock as a tithe, prompting Booker to quip "I gotta get me a job in the prophet business." We laugh. Then we learn at the end of the game that Comstock is an alternate version of Booker.
3. Gravity Falls: Stan holding a funeral to his wax double was funny. Then we find out the Author is his twin who he lost in an accident. He relived losing a lookalike a second time. | r/topcharactertropes | post | r/TopCharacterTropes | 2025-04-03 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jeFA3c3FyS040M0Fzb2hfcFRyQldILUpRVFA3b1VBWk1zMlRvazZaSzFWSVBwZUh4TjRzam42emZoTmJ4czNSb24tUzExY3ZDTkxlN1ZDZlNoU2t6dkZwYUtvSF9KWVV2d1hhZlZYd3hRRW89 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kRnJ3SWRKQ1lSWEkzeE91QWJxTUlPS1M0NlVsVU02eEp6aGdjRzk1VnVpaFIyNWstQXNkUHZiSVVMMXYtMDRtWlVRbldFa3A0eHhtWjN1YWQ0UGNvaHZzOVBFSGNyS25WbUozQWFZTjNpMldGYS1pMk5FNWRNOUtnNVNCMFpUNHJsOWlKT3BkTUNRZmw0NUVzSkRRVGpPeDd3R0c0TFI4U0Z2NlFOb2xjMDRHWHVPNjVZdENEeGIzbGhlX1pOZGFKM2JKZXhSSGhMdEdvZFVkTHJ1cW96QT09 |

I am a 35F female who made a mistake of a lifetime.
I grew up in a household where my parents fought a lot. During my doctoral years in graduate school, I was in a stable 4 year relationship with a doctor that felt perfect— my ex was loving, funny, generous, kind and had very strong character and similar internal value system . We never fought. I was happy, fulfilled, motivated, secure, and overall a better, stronger person with him by my side. I remember looking at him while he was driving once and thinking “man, he will be such a good dad one day.”
The segment in my life with him was happy, but looking back it also felt alien. I had never been in such a stable relationship before. I didn’t grow up like that. I had never been this supported or happy. I didnt know how good I had it. However, our sex life wasn’t great to nonexistent. At the end of our relationship, I ended up moving away for a highly competitive, once in a lifetime job offer. While away, I cheated on him and we are no longer together.
I cheated on him with my husband. My husband and I met because we shared a similar passion for trail running ultramarathons. We loved being outdoors and having someone by my side in such a niche sport felt special.
I overlooked the fact that he only graduated from high school and was/is making minimum wage while I make 6 figures. I was young and thought that love would prevail.
I started to see cracks in our relationship as time went on. While I was working hard and overtime to save up for a house, he would disappear for days on camping trips, leaving me to take care of household chores and our dog. We fought over so many little things and had countless communication issues. We do not communicate well or do conflict resolution well. I noticed our sense or humor always didn’t jive, for example there was a time I questioned if he’s racist because of jokes he made with his friends, and it really bothered me. Our empathy level for others and this planet are very different.
But I was in my 30s then and thought I needed to make this work. I later learned that there is guilt from cheating and oftentimes you feel like you need to end up with the person to make it feel right. So… we got married and now have a baby.
After having a baby, our differences and conflicting values are amplified.
- After marrying, he took an expensive career change which I am funding. He comes home from work tired and sometimes needs to study after work or on weekends.
- When he’s not studying, he lies in bed on his phone instead of spending time with me or our baby. He says he needs to decompress. He is always on his phone, whereas I cut down on screen time for my baby.
- he says his career comes first (even though it doesn’t pay much compared to my career). He says when he gets a chance, he is going to move our family out of state to advance his career. I told him I do not want that because we have grandparents, good schools and a strong community here for our child.
- he does nearly 0% of childcare throughout the week. On weekends he may have 15-30 minute play sessions with our baby, but it’s always spontaneous, on HIS time, and I never know how much free time I will have before he says “I need to get back to studying”, so it’s hard for me to get things done or run errands out of the house
- despite him being very absent as a parent, he is very opinionated with raising our baby and everything seems to be my fault according to him. Not a pleasant experience.
- he threatens me with more workload. If I complain about his absence as a dad while he’s playing with our baby, he leaves the room and says “I’m playing with him for YOI, if you’re not grateful I need to get back to work”. Similarly, I did all of our taxes as always and he offers to help mail the packet. When I complained he forgot to attach the w2s among missing other things, he said this was too complicated and he’s going to bed — never said thank you to me for doing our taxes. leaving me to finish the task he offered to help
- he is entitled. For example, he saves $0 for the down payment of our home, yet our home NEEDS to have 3 car garages and he needs an extra room for a music studio (that he never uses now). Yes, I wanted to be a good partner and conceded to his demands. (And now feel resentful)
- I also feel resentful when I see friends who married their classmates now living in nice, safe, highly sought after neighborhoods in beautiful homes or have 2 or 3 homes, while we needed to make some compromises as I’m the sole breadwinner in our relationship
- our educational level differences also show in our conversations. It does not seem like he looks into global or political issues deeply or empathetically. He has no interest in doing or learning how to do conflict resolution. It also appears he is too insecure to apologize. After knowing him for 8 years and countless arguments, he has only apologized once or twice to me, while I apologize after nearly all arguments
- he is always tired. One morning outing to the park, and he needs to be in bed for 3 hours… 2 hours in his phone and 1 hour napping
Yes, I know money/income and education isn’t everything. I know this may be my fate from karma from cheating on my good ex.

GENEVA (Reuters) - China said it had opened a formal complaint against the new U.S. tariffs with the World Trade Organization on Friday, saying the measures violate WTO rules and requesting consultations.
Earlier, China announced retaliatory additional tariffs of 34% on U.S. goods, the most serious escalation in a trade war with President Donald Trump that has fed fears of a recession and touched off a global stock market rout.
"China has filed the WTO complaint with respect to the United States' measures," the Permanent Mission of China to the World Trade Organization said in a statement.
The new tariffs blatantly violate WTO rules, it added.
In the standoff between the world's top two economies, Beijing also announced controls on exports of some rare earths which it dominates, potentially cutting the U.S. off from critical minerals vital to everything from smartphones to electric car batteries and defence.
Trump on Wednesday announced China would be hit with a 34% tariff, on top of the 20% he previously imposed earlier this year, bringing the total new levies to 54% and close to the 60% figure he had threatened while on the campaign trail.
Chinese exporters, like those from other economies around the world, will face a 10% baseline tariff, as part of the new 34% levy, on almost all goods shipped to the world's largest consumer economy from Saturday before the remaining, higher "reciprocal tariffs" take effect from April 9.
China on Thursday urged the United States to immediately cancel its latest tariffs.
The WTO Secretariat confirmed to Reuters on Friday that it had received the request for consultations from China.
Bilateral consultations are the first stage of formal dispute settlement. If no solution is found within 60 days, China could request adjudication by the Geneva-based organisation's Dispute Settlement Body. | r/wallstreetbets | post | r/wallstreetbets | 2025-04-04 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jUzNDZDdXbDIyWXpTUWN6dWNpOHlkTVpoQ3Bfc3gwbDJ0QWZGQW01VHVfeUQydTkxTFNDRVRtSUZlZXBkRkE1LW5keGJJQUxDeWdONXlhV0RHd1ZodXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kc1VOVmc3b2dpdmJadTVjSGgybzdaTi1LZ096dzY5U28zSXlmdXhscTVsNGdSNDVmLURjS2twcGdwMUhvRGZrMjhkd3loZHI0RDZVR3dSLTNTX2s5TEdjUHgzdGdSR19ZOXFMN3ozejZNblNEeGNOcVlsVi1QUW80LXFMQTRVWC0zZVBqcllVb0ZodnI3TFREZkVKTjJZejEyTUtqbXNaNnJGRXFHbDRKLWp1cGM4cGtGZlBxdm9uYmZNWmIyRDV1Tk9IaFlpLUtiZGwtQVQxQURFYllSZz09 |

This trope is found a lot in old fairy tales but also has some present examples:
The Mist (2007) has how the main character kill his entire family mere seconds before they would have been rescued. It's in a dark way, a message about hope and perserverence, by showing a sadistically tragic end of someone who gives in to despair.
The little match girl is a fairy tale about a little girl forced to sell matchsticks in the winter. The next morning she is found dead in an alleyway after many people throughout the night fail to show her empathy or generosity.
A less somber yet still accurate example is the pied piper, after the people of the city refuse to pay him for taking away all teh rats, he kidnaps the children with his flute and (depending on the version) sends them to their death. | r/topcharactertropes | post | r/TopCharacterTropes | 2025-04-04 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jTWU0anJLSnRxQU9IQkx3NkhBNWJyeUMxVTRLX0FHaFJhQWdRTGtrVG9LdU9GWDRldDA2dmljNUkwWVRXUGsxSzNvZVVTeXRYanliN1NqbnVxbUdET1FEb2ZVRkljN3Y2WVM5ZW14WWlubmM9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5ka3I1MzJnZkUtWFhTWDZ5cnJfeUtKWFljTlR6R0JBUDA4LWJPSllXQWgteFJhcWNYQUN1U09fbEtMVmpNSV9jMlVyUGNWOC1lNXZvZWdBOWltbzJ3bzZ1RVp2Nk5jTl8yVzA3ZXcxMWNwdHJZM1dEcWhtVGhYNml5V1lKbnpXT3VlajZVZ2NqaDZkNTNQdzJqSkpYczgyV2FwWC1OR3k1bVVOR3NsRmZPMGMzWks0WW9VTG5KTFZ5Y3piRmVhUUZWb3p1YnV4SzlWZEZrUEFveXBGMmVOQT09 |
I told my boyfriend that I'd wanna hire a maid in the future when we live together and have kids, and his response was "you better not hire a hot one, cause she'll seduce me and I'll f*ck her and then make her my wife". He said it with a straight face. My boyfriend feels like I don't do enough household chores when I visit him, he says I should do more than just cooking and washing dishes. And guess what... my mom agrees with him and adds that I should also wash & iron his laundry and bedding sets, etc.
Anyway, his joke threw me off and it stung. My bf has never cheated on me nor does he seem to be that kind of a person. I'm even the only woman that he has ever slept with.
He says it was just a dumb joke and he's an idiot for saying that and he'll never do such a thing. I don't know if I'm overreacting by feeling worried about what he said.
We've been together for over a year.
TL;DR - boyfriend said if we got a hot maid, he'd f*ck her and make her his wife.

President Donald Trump insisted Friday that “MY POLICIES WILL NEVER CHANGE,” doubling down on his aggressive tariff policies amid plummeting U.S. stock markets.
Trump on Wednesday meted out tariffs on U.S. global trading partners, sending a shock wave through financial markets and drawing the nation into a massive trade war with affected countries pledging retaliatory measures. Already on Friday, China said it would hit U.S. imports with a 34 percent tariff starting April 10. Other major economies, like the European Union, are likely to follow.
The president was quick to chastise Beijing for its retaliatory measures, writing on Truth Social that “CHINA PLAYED IT WRONG, THEY PANICKED - THE ONE THING THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO DO!”
Trump has painted his tariffs as a forceful effort to reset American trade relationships that he says have resulted in the U.S. being “looted, pillaged, raped and plundered by nations near and far, both friend and foe alike.” Though tariffs imposed by the U.S. in the distant past have had disastrous results for the American economy, the president has insisted that his widespread import taxes will entice companies to bring manufacturing jobs back to American shores.
The White House dubbed Wednesday, the day the tariffs were imposed, “Liberation Day” and hosted a celebratory Rose Garden event where the president laid out his policies. But Trump’s promises did little to quell concerns on Wall Street, where markets plummeted in the immediate aftermath of the announcement. On Thursday alone, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1,700 points, and U.S. stocks overall suffered their worst day since March of 2020, the opening days of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The news was not all bad for the White House on Friday, with Trump quickly claiming credit for a better than expected March jobs report — though those numbers reflect an economy untouched by Trump’s sweeping tariff plan. The U.S. added 228,000 new jobs, exceeding expectations and offering the president an opportunity to assuage concerns about economic chaos. The “great job numbers,” he said, were evidence that his economic policies were “already working.”
“Hang tough, we can’t lose!!!” the president said. | r/neoliberal | post | r/neoliberal | 2025-04-04 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jSWEwaF91TV9NWW5fZmRfQ1lzUnlBR29hRDUxeDJpZW9lZFZnZjdKMVA1MmZWd2xOU0xuWHFRZ0x1Q3NnS1VrR3JVLXBENk1TWnlwdzh0dF8zM1dzNkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kZ3gteHF6dWF0R2NUS0NfODVxc293aDFleU5WN3ZFRHpMM05YcDg4NHJHYnlwX01PeGUySTNSNEgtTTlQQzdoTWtVeHI3WFhmVnNCaC1fMDhBODBwZEhwNGRuVG1GeGZial9SZTFmNW16cGtuRnhuTURyd19heDdZemQxMzNhTUhpTWtyOFJ3ZmFMVUx0Q0Z2YkVlTDFwWTlKY2daNzRSOEt0b0tDekY0MjdxamE4b1d5SFMzejFmdWw2emp2NGNMQldZUk5ZdlZ2VUZqQlU2dENPT1BCZz09 |

At 10:19am I placed an order to buy 60 contracts of TSLA $240.00 Put... Was a market order and still didn't fucking place. So I canceled a couple minutes later. I would've made $20k.
At 10:47am I bought 32 contracts of TSLA $235.00 Put @ $279.00 per contract. TSLA skyrocketed ten fucking dollars right after.
At 11:17am I couldn't take it anymore and sold all 32 contracts of TSLA $235.00 Put for an average of $54.00 per contract.

1. The White Fang (RWBY)- Initially portrayed as a group fighting for Faunus rights against widespread racism and slavery, albeit through illegal and often violent means. They end up becoming terrorists who abandon the whole "Faunus rights" angle in favor of straight-up violence. No meaningful alternative or solution is given.
2. Team Plasma (Pokemon Black and White)- In their introduction, they're shown arguing that Pokemon don't want to be used by humans as tools for battling. 99% of them are then revealed to be hypocritical and irredeemably evil, and the one "morally gray" member is revealed to have been manipulated and brainwashed from childhood by the organization's leader. Any points they may have had are completely forgotten by the sequel.
3. The Equalists (The Legend of Korra)- They're set up as a group of non-benders fighting against oppression by benders, and who seek to make society more "equal" by removing people's bending. They then resort to outright terrorism, completely abandoning their "non-bender rights" angle, and their leader is revealed to be a bender himself for good measure. The issue of non-bender oppression is then ignored for virtually the rest of the series. | r/topcharactertropes | post | r/TopCharacterTropes | 2025-04-04 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jUk5EbGRJUmpobXYyQUx5LW54cHRuc1RrSWNmQUNMOW41aFhOTlNWaTl5WURPaTRwTXB6SjdGeDNwWm5xTnBFckFvZGJaQmxNQXpZUDBtcFpiV0ZadWhzaGViRmg1WnBoUkNsa2hBLXBvMTA9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kY2NyZ2x6QlV0U3dqQ1NzYWczbHhLdlB1VjgyTTZaOHNmMlpxSkxJUmJLQVREaElDNmxQajhZZkU1VnZ1d3pSdUxhT2NuT0hIVUd4aHNMU3Z4T2hUMFYwcWRQZU92WmtPVGJDVi1rZDRaWUJtbmliclI1TDRSUE5ZNWlOd1FFdzNoYVJjT0lJUFE3YTlJR3BDaVRyRnBTbTl6dGg2MHEwa3M1ZndmaEVQOF9Rd0lKdFZ2cHotRTVZSEdlY0dXb2ZEakxwWDNqNndEbEptbU5EdDdlMWdjZz09 |
A bipartisan bill to give Congress a vote on new tariffs is gaining notable GOP backing.
Sens. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Jerry Moran of Kansas signed on as cosponsors of the bill, introduced Thursday by Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.).
Other GOP senators signaled this week that they could support the legislation, too, but haven’t yet signed on. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) told reporters he would be “inclined’ to support it and “there’s something to be said for having congressional review.”
The measure would limit the president’s power to impose tariffs, following the Trump administration’s move to unilaterally slap tariffs on countries across the globe. It would require the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of such an imposition and for Congress to explicitly approve any new tariffs within 60 days. The bill also would allow Congress to end any tariff at any time. | r/neoliberal | post | r/neoliberal | 2025-04-04 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jRTd5Y0FSbEVVY25QQm8yS29BcDljNEpiYXZ0NmFmSFBxa1docE9jMmI0d3JKUWRnWWtucnBXUFpCbHBBOVBiQ0pKeXNLbDI5SkpwbHR3NGxuZDJkelE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kWGp1SnlpYW9DU21HUzUtMFFWUV9ENzhRWlFrTHdxNGQ3X0hpMzhPNXZlRDhId2RybjYxUlVXM3ZGMWlLX0hRZUpMc3hfSzl4cjQ1QzJiRTZDSkZzUkxpVml1TTBtUzRHOWZEcEFEcmFHYVhXQzBnLVNqa2haR1dEMkNrRkpiU2loM1hNd1RyZXB5cUhVTDNrSTFTc3VxWndWdUo1amYwbC1mZ3NmcWxjZHFkbF9nd1hvV19mWWM4R0VOTUtNakZqSGdoQVRKUXgtQnpaTy1RWDBLMnZ2QT09 |
A conservative legal group is suing the Trump administration over the president’s tariffs on Chinese imports, alleging that they were imposed through an “unlawful” use of emergency executive power.
The 29-page complaint filed Thursday by the New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA) in the Northern District of Florida alleges that the authority to impose tariffs lies with Congress, not the president.
“By invoking emergency power to impose an across-the-board tariff on imports from China that the statute does not authorize, President Trump has misused that power, usurped Congress’s right to control tariffs, and upset the Constitution’s separation of powers,” NCLA senior litigation counsel Andrew Morris said in a statement accompanying the lawsuit.
According to the nonprofit group, the statutes under which Trump purported to issue the levies — the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA) — grants the executive sweeping authority to quickly combat international economic crises, permitting the president to “order sanctions as a rapid response to international emergencies.” However, the NCLA asserts that the emergency statute does not allow the president to usurp the legislative branch’s control of the country’s purse strings through the unilateral imposition of tariffs.
“Congress passed the IEEPA to counter external emergencies, not to grant presidents a blank check to write domestic economic policy,” the complaint states.

About a year ago, I proposed to my now fiancé. We planned a 3 month road trip across the country, something we had been dreaming of doing for years. We got to experience so many different places together and it was amazing. Towards the end of the trip, I got us a cabin in the mountains for a week and then planned a beautiful hike for us to do. We both loved hiking, traveling, and being adventurous which is why I decided to do the proposal this way. I thought it would be more special and more sentimental. Anyway at the end of the hike, I proposed to her and it was an amazing feeling to show my commitment and love to my partner.
Fast forward a year later, we have endured some difficult times to say the least. Just today we got to talking and she started saying that she wants a “real” engagement, and then started comparing our engagement to an engagement her friend just had. I felt immensely hurt by this, because I had invested so much into making that engagement special for us and the fact that it seems invalid and lesser in her eyes sucks. I want to be celebrated, I want my partner to brag about our engagement and to view it as invaluable, unique, special for us.
It hurt hearing those words come from her and I don’t know what to think. I have a whirlwind of feelings right now and I can’t navigate around it. Do you view this as hurtful? And what would you do in this situation? | r/amioverreacting | post | r/AmIOverreacting | 2025-04-04 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jYVphUXdENXg2NmxMcndCNTFWbU5HNXJIdWgwMk1QTUl5V0RpYUp1anJnY0dqZnVTSS1WNllFZmJaZE1rSTkyVF9FeTBMMUIyZjNQb2JQaWhRWWRIRVAwcDRqQTY0VjZDTFJwZUs3VG9pUnM9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kdDNjMndWLV9oclpWZTltMU03UVNyUTVjLVREdnl1ZGtqYTRQY1ZUNU5jNXZzOVhBWXJwQVhxUS1VMXNsNkoxR1k5cUN6OF9xcVBIQlY0dFdKaUpXUDhVM1RaUWY2UTZ0V2YwMVlwQk5rYTk2ZzlLTXp6X1pLa241Z2lOYVRFUlhnUE5vaUZmbDI4dnRLaDUyYzdNb0JNZUE2SkotZ1NlMS1OMHdIQ0VUczMzR0MxVHJaNUw4MHpFQzNaY2hIZklUMDltcE51Z0pyTDdRNjRkai1LQ3U5QT09 |
My grandparents recently passed away 10 months ago - they were extremely hard workers and ended up having a decent amount of money to leave to the family. I was extremely close with them so their passing really impacted me. For context on the will - I’m getting a nice gift of money from them but nowhere near life changing but I just don’t see it as her business.
My MIL is the sort of person that when talking about someone will always refer to their wealth. She is obsessed with what people have - she has a real victim mentality so often says “oh I wish I had this, how lucky is she”. She also is a massive bragger and name dropper. For example SIL was dating a wealthy man and it was ALL MIL would talk about, she didn’t even refer to him by his name! I used to have a good relationship with her but she has said some very hurtful things so now I really struggle with her and find interacting with her painful.
She lives out of town but has been back to visit 5 times since my grandparents passed and the will is being dealt with. Every time without fail she asks “oh honey how is everything going with your grandparents will?” Or “is your family selling your grandparents house/business”. I try to keep my answers to one word and roll onto other conversation but she is getting more persistent. I know she is pretty open finances with her family but my family isn’t like that.
Most recently she directly asked my husband (M30) what I received as inheritance when I wasn’t around. He knows I want to respect my grandparents who were private people and not talk about specifics - so he said I received something but he isn’t sure exactly how much (even though he does). She sulked and didn’t talk to him for many days as “it’s not a big deal, family shares this stuff and I just want to know you’re ok.” My husband is softly spoken and avoids conflict at all costs so tries to keep the peace without arguments.
I know a more direct question is 100% coming from her soon, particularly as we are selling my grandparents house this week. Any suggestions on how to deal with this? I don’t want to have a confrontation with her (she plays the victim) or my husband even though he should be setting boundaries, but I really don’t like how she keeps asking and find it pretty disrespectful. I don’t see why she needs to know.
TLDR - MIL keeps asking about what I’ve been left in the will. Not sure how to keep sidestepping questions or enforce boundaries without causing conflict? | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-04 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jOUh3RzZnd2JWRU1nel8wbU1FWGlhOF95Q3Vxdm8yUEx0blhKMTZhN25XdkwteDB2X04zV3Etbk5YOEZxQ1VIWTRZRGpCWURjd25oNFpyWDhIYlk2NWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kYzViUXd1Z1dEVS1PZnYtSkdiVmRUVDBac1VBSVNiVkg2VnVOWWIzaV92anBLTG1mbldHQzJhOGpWRWY3UDZITVZDeFN0cnZmaERlS1JPN0ZzQ1d2MzVOTU81bl81VGt3dHk2eWwybUpuZVBQZ2g5YkY4TDR2aEp1TWpYYk5pWHJLclIwUVdRbmQwcHBUbi1xVmxubjFfVFNFcmFsbFpPWk9ReDFncng4MzVLalBZWVpIdlVvM1lJQkZ2SnRwdDV3RmZvdFdqYUhlWXdzWDhtNUM5ckpSakRPQlNTWXVCcmJhQkgxUFJUeDBqOD0= |

EDIT TO ADD: I want to thank you all for all the messages and kind words. It means a lot to me that there’s 300 comments telling me he fucked up. I’ve been lied to so obtusely and taken for such a fool and things are beginning to make sense in the rear view.
I am very grateful to all who took time out of their days. I’ll post an update in a few days when some of the next steps take place.
And I’m shocked that I’ve had sexual advances in my DMs as a result of this post too. What the hell?
———-
OP:
She said to him last night “I wish we had disappearing messages” and he laugh reacted.
They talked about how I may have tampered with his food - so clearly he’s told her I’ve been crazy. (I haven’t. Why the fuck would she think that?)
The whole story is nuts to be honest. I can’t even type it all out right now, I feel like I will puke. Today has been tough.
I’ve given him everything. My dad gave him his first music industry job. When we moved to london I shared all my friends and connections. We’ve been friends since 2017. Together for 3.5 years. We’ve been through our Masters, poverty, mental illness, tough times and good times.
I feel like I’m dying. He denied outright doing anything wrong - while all my friends are in total shock that he’d do this to me. He denied it until later on today and somehow span it around to be my fault.
He’s wanted to split up with me for a while but I make him sad and guilty when we have conversations about our relationship apparently. So that’s my fault too. (ETA: this is his words from today)
I haven’t always been impeccable. Neither has he. He pushed me a few months back. He recently made fun of my weight.
He’s my best friend.
Why he would betray me like this is beyond me. We’ve been through so much together. Much more than any other young couple should.
I am heartbroken. I can’t believe I’ve been betrayed this way. I may not have been perfect but I would not have done him like this, even through the bad times I have stuck right by him.
I’m so in shock and so upset.
If anyone has any words for me to make this cut and burn a little less right now I’d really appreciate it. I feel lost and alone and worthless and discarded.
He said he never wanted to bring these wounds of my past abuse up for me but I just have been ripped open from when I was cheated on and abandoned in my past. It’s awful. He says he has trauma from when he cheated on his ex, like the trauma of betraying her, and so he won’t admit this is cheating or like pre cheating. Me accusing him of cheating has been traumatising for him. He’s away for a few days. To process all that.
I don’t know what my question is. I feel so lost and confused | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-04 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jSEZESTVUdTJVTzlpbVEzeV95YU5Ha1Npa1JLWXV6dm5oLVMzY1JOYzUyOGRLdzB0VlllaHVXRGVEY2FfSEtlWGN0Yl9RaU9RaXNtWFNrN1JGRFRSLWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kN2tRa056cnd5YVFFa0NUbnIxSFZPZ2RFSnQ0SDAyOHVvNk5yZjcxcVU5VU5sLWZPNFBZNU5MWWlJaUQ5aWk2QUtXd3NGUTZvN0tQMEhfR01vMGFBbEp5ODdqZ2VmZGRQazIxcW5IWmNPaGg0N056U3hfbVNhTm5oczIzSFZhUi02MHUzVjJqTmZrUVNMc3hNSm1scjZpZUpyb190Y19DNXFKZ1FVR3JFMHBjYTZzUHhTWGFyNG9nZDBYLXFMRUlFNnAwbU1iN29pM25EWjJCdXUxUm5VUT09 |
So about a year ago, I was talking to this guy (29M)—great chemistry, deep convos. He told me he was single, and there was definitely a mutual connection. It wasn’t just small talk—it felt real.
Then I found out that he was actually getting married. Yep. He for married last year. Engaged while telling me he was single. That really hurt me. I didn’t confront him or cause drama. I just stopped talking to him. I kept my distance, but we were still friends on Snapchat, so he would randomly send snaps or messages throughout the year. I ignored them every time.
That one year changed me a lot. I grew emotionally, and I became more guarded. What happened with him stayed in the back of my mind, and I think it affected me more than I let myself admit.
Today he messaged me asking for a picture. I ignored it again. Then he sent a message saying we used to have good convos and asked why I’m doing this and being rude to him. I didn’t respond, and he said “Can’t believe you ignored me” and ended up unfriending me.
Now I’m left with this weird mix of emotions. Part of me feels bad… even though I know I was hurt and had every right to walk away. But another part of me wonders—maybe it deserved a better closure. Maybe I should’ve told him why I backed off instead of just disappearing.

I usually put $100-$200 into the stock market weekly. Finally my full port puts paid off. This is only the beginning. I sold my puts today.

Glinda in the 1939 Oz movie. In the original books Dorothy meets more than one “good” witch and one of them near the end tells her the way to get home. In the 1939 movie they combine them into one “good” witch: Glinda which resulted in kinda of a big plot hole as for why she didn’t tell Dorothy in the beginning. Because of that there has now been a widely accepted theory that Glinda was secretly a villain the whole time.

I 28F am married to 30M.
I’ll probably delete this is the morning but I need to scream into the void. I’ve been married for under a year but with my husband for 6. We have a 3 month old little girl who’s fantastic. I’m a first time mom who’s a SAHM. My husband WFH.
My husband’s not dumb just emotionally inept sometimes. I’ve had a lot of resentment building since I was pregnant. His mom tormented me through my pregnancy by talking about miscarriages, still births, and saying ‘dead baby’ to me every time my husband wasn’t around. She denied, he sympathized with me, but nothing was truly ever done.
Since I gave birth my husband’s just been clueless. When I was there recovering he would go home and sleep and leave me all alone because the couch was uncomfortable. I had to call him 20 times to get him to wake up and come back to the hospital because I was lonely. Then when we left he was asking me to carry things to the car with him. The nurse had to tell him I shouldn’t carrying anything, I’d just given birth.
When we got home he complained about his lack of sleep. I was struggling learning how to nurse. He was my cheerleader through nursing, I have to give him credit there. As the first two months went by I was consistently bawling about how sleep deprived I was while he was getting 8-10 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night. It caused a lot of fights because I couldn’t hear him tell me he was ‘exhausted’ without having a meltdown. Then his mom would come over and they’d leave a huge mess for me to clean on more than one occasion. He complained about the basement being messy so I helped him lift things and clean it up. It caused me to start bleeding heavily and my doctor told me I shouldn’t be lifting anything heavy. This is a point of contention because my husband continuously asked me to help him lift heavy things and I couldn’t; so he’d get annoyed. Then he’d complain about it all day.
Now we’re at month 3 and I think my marriage is over. We’ve been distant ever since baby arrived and I haven’t wanted to have sex or be affectionate. Husband has been asking if I’m alright a lot and I say I’m fine. I don’t know what else to say. But I feel miserable and tense up every time he walks in the same room as me. Today he was on my case about walking our dog. I’m so exhausted from exclusively breast feeding and I don’t have the energy to walk her. I had been up since 2:30am with my baby and just couldn’t handle anything else on my plate. So he whined and moaned about doing it but promised me I could nap. I snapped and reminded him that I haven’t slept a full 8 hours in months. He got pissy and stormed off.
He avoided me the entire day and locked himself in his office. I spent the rest of the day randomly breaking down in full blown sobs because I was so tired. 11pm hits and he hasn’t come out of his office so I finally break and go get him. He gives me the cold shoulder and I just break down. All the lack of support just broke me. I told him I hated him, I wish I could go home, and I even mentioned divorce. He calmed me down and apologized for being selfish. When I asked what he did all day he said he napped.
He napped the whole day.
While I was struggling to keep myself standing he was napping. I broke down. I cried and cried. He was apologetic and showering me in sorry’s and I love you’s. For the first time ever I couldn’t tell him I loved him too. Now it’s 2am and I can’t sleep because I’m so distraught. He’s snoring next to me and I just hate him right now. I want to take my baby and run away. I don’t want to live here anymore. Being a single mom seems easier than dealing with all this emotional stress and neglect.
What am I suppose to do? I just can’t believe I’m ready to leave him all because he took a nap.
Update:
I fixed the FTM - it means first time mom not female to male.
So we talked. Well, I talked he listened. I told him I couldn’t do this anymore and something needed to change immediately or I was going to go back home and take my baby with me. He stared at me confused but then he realized I had two bags packed by my dresser and ready to leave.
I finally was able to articulate all the resentment that had been building. His mom’s cruel and careless behavior, feeling abandoned at the hospital and now at home, how it feels that everything falls on to me so he can bring a paycheck home. I realized after saying all this I hadn’t really told him how I was feeling but just continued to bottle it up.
He was defensive at first and I gave him one warning that if this conversation was filled with excuses, I’m walking out. So he stopped and truly listened. He was genuinely remorseful. He only said sorry once at the end, and he meant it. Then he started asking me what I needed him to do.
We made a plan and I finally feel like I can breathe a little easier. He has dog walks handled indefinitely. MIL is banned from the house and to have no contact with me or my baby. Once husband’s off work I’m off duty for the day. I’ll still breast feed because I want to do that. I get a lot of fulfillment out of it and if you saw the way my baby pats my boob when she nurses you would too. Her big hazel eyes are like a drug.
I’m typing this while soaking in a warm bath. I’ve been promised the weekend to decompress and sleep until my hearts content. I’ll pump instead of nurse this weekend and we have a stash of frozen milk he is planning on using. He knows what needs to be done, her routine, how much to feed her, so I know he’s capable. I can actually hear him unloading the dishwasher right now. We are planning on doing something as a couple one day out of each weekend so I don’t feel like just a mom. I can be a person too. We are going to go to couples counseling and I’m going to start individual therapy. (He’s already in therapy)
He didn’t have a dad who showed him what love looked like. He had an adult toddler as a father who threw tantrums and verbally abused him and his mother. My husband often comments on how my dad drops everything in a nano second for me and how he wants to be like that. But he’s not. He’s failing me and his daughter. That was really tough for him to hear.
So, now we take it day by day. If he’s actually capable of change, I’ll have to wait and see. My bags are still packed and by the door. I guess I have them there as a reminder to myself that leaving is an option at any moment I please. That makes me feel a little better. I’m hopeful but not delusional. I know we might not be able to come back from this, and that’s okay. I have to take care of myself so my little girl has a mama who smiles at things besides her. I have an appointment scheduled for a PPD screening and my mom’s planning on visiting the start of next month. My family is ready with their door wide open when I choose to come home. Made me cry to hear my dad tell me he’ll be on the first flight when I’m ready so I don’t have to fly home alone.
Thank you all for letting me spill my guts. | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-05 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jbEhoMENzdG1lN1pkekdSeG1mdlhQQzRCQjZyUmNDcmVDMjNMZTRRQjhvS09tUy02b0YxS29HQlBxdENFcXNBeDMza3JiNUVoOU1CaTlzaDZYMzdjeGVnWFRkdjFGZWNIRlZZaGVKMGdSYms9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kSWZBVnprMFRhUWk3X1AzbWxJZGJZZzBERUp2NENUdEhnbmhFUTZYeGtKV19aX3ItVGRNMWppNmk5SzlkbVA0WW9URGRtUmRzOWpQUU9FZE9GNldwUkxhZGpRSHEybGhBZWFidTNFYmtubTdrUnJxbzZnbXplN3FtbThOb29lSWYwbEZxZjkxWl9tOVk0YlVGdUtnWExlajJ2OUV4c1BpS1lvVWJaUXdrdnZpVlRRRnhzRnJmSllQc0FSOWtuaFBOc0hJeEl6dGw2NGFmMXNpaElLSUVmUT09 |
I want to be rid of sexual immorality. I don't want to look at pornography ever again. I have done it before; I have lasted a month without it, and now I seem to be clinging back to it. I am thinking of God. While watching, I have disappointed him greatly. I want to be with God, yet I struggle to follow him. Please, I need help!. Pray for me! I am losing control. I know I can't do it myself. I need God and your prayers. I want to strengthen my faith. | r/christianity | post | r/Christianity | 2025-04-05 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jQTRtREFxblRTM3ZzYlQ0WTNZeTZpZDNYZzJJUHVEX0ppVTR2eG9sTl9ndTQ1N1BsbEliT1NnWXdsRmFtbUIyakVRWG5DcXdVTVJGd0dOUE1UTUswdlBlRVU2TlVpX1M2NFVYWVY2eGZXY0U9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kaEYtRk55ZzhuQkVMMWV2Ul94V3NnMVg1Q0Fxam45UFE0UDRJQ3FqWWVUMElnUkN2VUwyVktER2ZEZ2FEaUVQYjFXTFZJc0t3cWZ0RlMyZUk5ZTZ0UjFLems0M2xYTm16R0pzQzlyTkNqVWh1akRncmQzY09GWUxDQzZCY0UxWjdrNWlMYzJBcnFFdldIYmgwdmVCQ2FleFcxeTB4YmhvRG8wNFJISnQ0d19DdTlqSHdHSDQwdnlVdFRFTk5yaGYyWHk0M1RlMEh3bV9rN3pXTVAzLTdLQT09 |

There’s this dude at work who keeps using my favorite mug. Not just any mug, the mug I got after running my first marathon.
I’ve asked him nicely, multiple times, to stop.
He’d always laugh it off like “chill, it’s just a cup.”
So after the fourth time, I got a Sharpie and wrote “NOT YOURS” on the side. Big. Bold. Unmistakable.
The next day, he saw it, didn’t say a word, but apparently told someone he felt “attacked” and left early.
Now the office vibe is weird and people are kind of side-eyeing me.
AIO or was that fair game?

I stayed 10 days at the FS Koh Samui last september (also stayed a week at FS Bangkok but dont think they did any shooting there)… Its a beautiful property,probably the best hotel that I stayed in Thailand, perfect for relaxation and to take a break from the world 💆💆
My only negative point will be that they managed to make it "so bad" in the show compared to how it is in real life! Shocking! The fact that they use a cheap resort in Phuket to shoot didn’t help for sure… Just the arrival on boat on this strange dirty beach (that is not the FS property) was a shock speacially when the the entry of the FS is magnificent, top of the hill overlooking the sea.
Feel free to ask me any questions about this hotel (or about Thailand if your planning a trip there, been there 4times) 🙂

Yesterday I made a post asking if I was overreacting to my bf randomly asking me for a paternity test, and I got a bunch of comments that I meant to reply to but more happened last night so I figured I would just post an update here for anyone who was interested.
My plan was to just explain to him why I was hurt, and then ask him for his reasoning for asking for the test and why he waited four months to just randomly start questioning if he’s my child’s father. Or, if it was just a joke like he said, ask him why he thought that would be funny in the first place. I just wanted a real conversation. But what happened was, I told him how hurt and angry I felt and why, and he threatened to end his own life if I left him. I hadn’t even threatened to break up with him or said anything about ending the relationship.
So thats a wrap on that. I will get him a paternity test if he really wants one, but the relationship is over. I can’t be with someone who would try to manipulate me into staying with them like that. The plan right now is to get everything in order for me and my son and start looking for places to live.
Thank you to everyone who read the original post and took the time to give me advice. A lot of you thought he was cheating and projecting, but I don’t know if that’s the case and honestly right now I don’t even think I want to know. I appreciate all the feedback.

You're a mean one, Mr. Trump,
You really are a heel,
You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Trump,
You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!
You're a monster, Mr. Trump,
Your heart's an empty hole,
Your brain is full of spiders, you have garlic in your soul, Mr. Trump,
I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!
You're a foul one, Mr. Trump,
You have termites in your smile,
You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Trump,
Given a choice between the two of you I'd take the seasick crocodile!
You're a vile one, Mr. Trump,
You're a nasty wasty skunk,
Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Trump,
The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote,
"Stink, stank, stunk"!
You're a rotter, Mr. Trump,
You're the king of sinful sots,
Your heart's a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Trump,
Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful
Assortment of rubbish imaginable mangled up in tangled up knots!
You nauseate me, Mr. Trump,
With a nauseous super "naus"!
You're a crooked dirty jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Trump,
You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!

Part one here explaining why I left my husband almost 4 months ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/relationship_advice/s/Q7IzkAX0WY
TLDR; His behavior was emotionally abusive and he refused any accountability.
We are both married and living in Taiwan. Mutual consent divorce is very easy here. One sided divorce is not, one party must prove fault of the other and it can take a while and get messy.
Originally I moved here and we got married to start on his US visa after he had was denied entry in 2022 and given a 5 year ban. He had lived in the U.S. for 15 years which is where we met. In December of last year upon attending his visa interview he was given an additional lifetime ban for misrepresentation. The only path for him to ever go the the U.S. again is for an immediate relative to prove extreme hardship.
We separated four months ago. He denied my one attempt to reconcile with the condition he actually take accountability and work on his stuff.
This week I texted him and we both agreed we do not wish to be together and have moved on. I politely asked for a divorce and he said he still wanted to remain married so he can get his US visa. There are still multiple years left in processing times for his various forms.
Now, I understand his situation is difficult for him but it is no longer my responsibility. If this was that important to him he should’ve been a better husband.
He is not letting this go. I believe I have enough evidence to divorce him under the law here and spoke to some attorneys. It would take at least 12 months for the process.
How can I frame a conversation with him to get him to come to his senses that he is not getting a green card and allow for a mutual consent divorce?
EDIT: Thank you everyone for your very clear advice and support. I have decided to move forward with divorce and meet my attorney this week to get the process started. He was not a good partner, it is just completely absurd and unreasonable of him to ask anything of me, especially this. I am so over it and will be moving on with my life. | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-05 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jLXFEMjdkT0M4bGZDUktHNDE0T1VLcU1wZUVQWnVSM3h3cTM2QnRGUUFJTFY2cU1nY2lrb3c0UGFDTXN6V1NENG83TDA5aDVhUmxwOGZITG1aUGVsaEo0QUNQcno1Yk81RXNPS3pTTWZfMEE9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kSGt0bTJxR2NxaGNZVmxDa2k3dVJ5RkVUXzd4X2dHcjQtVmtfbExRczY1YU9rYWFXNFFRRWZta3hldnRWc2kycnVsOHFrdEw1Uk5GNHZQVm1PUXNDWklkQmZ4elNxUTFMUnRHTTFkMHBXNG9IOG0wYmZWNC1hZzU2UHJPZXNUejRlVmU5Vlp4elVzZHBLLW93cy1GcFh6WmljQnZUdUhpQ0l6dFNVWjk0LWQyampXOEVTQndnMEh4VFJUc3N1T3VjdkE5MUR6dHFPRzlKdmMwSms2Tk1yUT09 |

They came out in defense of national parks and small businesses, public education and health care for veterans, abortion rights and fair elections. They marched against tariffs and oligarchs, dark money and fascism, the deportation of legal immigrants and the Department of Government Efficiency.
Demonstrators had no shortage of causes as they gathered in towns and cities across the country on Saturday to protest President Trump’s agenda. Rallies were planned in all 50 states, and images posted on social media showed crowds in places like St. Augustine, Fla., and Franklin, N.C., and rainy Frankfort, Ky.
While crowd sizes are difficult to estimate, organizers said that more than 600,000 people had signed up to participate. On Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, the protest stretched for nearly 20 blocks. In Chicago, several thousand people flooded Daley Plaza and adjacent streets, while in the nation’s capital tens of thousands surrounded the Washington Monument. In Atlanta, the police estimated the crowd marching to the gold-domed statehouse at over 20,000.
Some demonstrators waved American flags, occasionally turned upside down to signal distress. Many, especially federal workers and college students, were afraid to speak on the record for fear of retaliation.
The mass action, “Hands Off!,” was planned at a time when many have bemoaned what they see as a lack of strong resistance to Mr. Trump. The president has moved aggressively to punish people and institutions he views as out of step with his ideology.
The rallies were organized by Indivisible, MoveOn and several other groups that led protests about abortion rights, gun violence and racial justice during the first Trump administration. Organizers said they hoped to shift the emphasis to pocketbook issues like health care and Social Security, with the message that Mr. Trump is making life harder for the average American while benefiting his richest friends.
They also moved away from focusing on massive demonstrations, like the 2017 Women’s March on Washington, to instead plan hundreds of local gatherings in communities large and small. | r/neoliberal | post | r/neoliberal | 2025-04-05 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jOWQxX3dlTzVJcDJ2aTRVd1lBd2dqX1pfZTVCY2dqUmIxMjhPMzFQWng1YTFuTWF5MTlwaXRGaG1aYVBGTFJBOWJQRERMTkw5SVJaRnhjREJPWV9sZVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kTG9heTJRcmxDMkVUWFZPM1RxblliUnhrX3BWWW5IdEZPODNhM1pBQU9henVLZ1FnZTd3UEE0MjJ5RzkzQ0RzX280ZGhvZHVjbFh6UTFCQU5lN0VrX0h6SzRkdGZManpHa0l0R19pMnVjRXhsN09rQ25DaVVYN3JGbmtrb3BWcVROUXhJdEJ4OTZCaVJoQnNfc1hvbGo4SGVpVGtCMzdYc25HQXNSWlJhcm5wbkJjajMwWDlyaTdpbEV5ajVnSGZzQlZHa1VYYTN5MjFHWkRZa2IxT3FJZz09 |

So I’m in an awkward position, my best friend has admittedly a drinking problem. He’s aware of it and so is everyone else in our orbit. Unfortunately, he’s made no moves to fix it and that has caused a few problems that I wasn’t even aware of until this past holiday season. Over time, I’ve become friends with his friends and I can tell he isn’t thrilled that we get along so well. It’s only natural to feel that way. His friends and I are outdoorsy and so it was natural that we vibed.
With Memorial Day coming up, they invited me to go camping and specifically told me not to invite my best friend. They have already spoken to him about his drinking last Christmas when he got kicked out of their holiday party. I’m conflicted because I’m going regardless of how he feels about it. The diplomat in me wants to soften the blow so he doesn’t feel like I’m replacing him in their group. That’s not the case, we’ve established our own relationship over the years. How can I address that the reason he’s not going is because he can’t control his drinking and they don’t want to deal with the drama like last time they went on a trip with him? I love him and would very much like him to be there, but it’s not my trip and I cant extend an invitation. | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-06 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jSF9lLW96NXh4bFNWaGFmYmNTYjhHdkNEc1NVSFphSXNUYjNHbGFncE5UVHRxb3RRYm4xTkl6Q2pyUlZKZHlBMUpZLUk2eDhyQ0draHFIeDFMX2Y5dWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kS1FoMThpczlvS1dBbjUzMFMyamRxWXllOERTXzg1TENrb1FIRVBLWHlGRTVmTTBtY1ROdUlCdHlNMVVmZzYwX2otOHNHMGwtdVNETnBSZ2FjMG82VnVfUERkTXdCZDJEajI1czE1N1Zqd3J3MExaNk5pbTE0RllOMGp4R0NTX3doelBJbUxUMnNqMGRHbTZFdV9odmd6cnVTMjVMNG5lZ1RLbjY3M1lDdWRJcXlyaUh3dkZFZ05FTks4WXFYSjBuY1ZaOTB0aDdadzF3SU8xcnAtaTBBUT09 |

So I had been in the ICU for a few days after an accident, I(23F) finally got transferred to a regular room to rest a bit before a second surgery I was supposed to have. My parents had been with me literally the entire time. But this one time, I was napping and told them to go grab lunch since I wasn’t going anywhere anyway.
That’s when it happened.
A nurse (Late20sM) came in by himself. Every other time before that, there were always multiple nurses in the room doing stuff, so this already felt different. The noise woke me up, and he told me he needed to insert a catheter. I was like, “cool,” not really thinking anything of it.
I know that for doctors and nurses, our bodies are literally just one of hundreds they see in a day, so I never really worry, I just give them my trust and consent.
But then it started and… is it normal for that to take 4–5 minutes?? He was down there for a while, and it hurt—like, I actually teared up just from how uncomfortable I was.
Then he looks at me and says he can’t get it in because my vagina is “weirdly shaped” (????), and that he needs to show the doctor. He pulls out his personal phone from his scrubs, takes a picture, and walks out. I was shocked and didn’t speak up when it happened, mind that I had a long surgery a few days before and was recovering for the next one:(
It left such a sour taste in my mouth. I keep going back and forth in my head—did that actually happen the way I remember? Am I overreacting? I don’t want to assume the worst about someone who might’ve just been trying to do their job, but I can’t stop thinking about it. Something just feels really off. I don’t know who to reach out about it or if I even should. It really is haunting me rn.
Update 1:
Hi:( Thank you, everyone. Reading your replies has really changed my perception of that day. My mental health is already pretty messed up, and this whole situation feels like a bomb just dropped on top of it. I’m honestly beyond words with how terrified I am right now.
I’m calling my parents in the morning for help. Idk what will happen, but I do know my dad won’t rest until this guy is found and held accountable for his actions.
Update 2:
Hey, I talked w my parents. It was rough, but it’s done. I tried to reach out to the patient experiences department of the hospital but couldn’t get a hold of them, I’ll be calling again tomorrow Monday. I wrote down everything I remember about that moment and about the nurse like some of you suggested. Also, to the perverts dming me asking for pictures of my vagina, fuck off you’re the reason why I fucking hate social media.
Update 3:
Hey everyone, just wanted to give a bit of an update. I’ve taken my case up and there’s now an open investigation going on. I can’t share many details for legal reasons, but I just want to say thank you to everyone who encouraged me to speak up and actually do something about it.
Everything still feels so surreal right now. I’ll update again when I can, seems like it will take a bit. | r/amioverreacting | post | r/AmIOverreacting | 2025-04-06 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jTFpTV0ZVTXAydF9CRU4wcjN0TWl4a2VBY1VIS2NBWWtpVmtSZ0RMWHl3VmJFUnFXRS0zd1d2ak9IOUNxTEpfb2oyTVVDNlEwQ3JLSDRxczJobU1DQ2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kV0s3Vlk3WDV1ZVFOZUxiQ1NxZG1ELUNSVVJrTEtFcjU0Y1lKTm9iM1phazdnVVNZZExJRnB2V29BZUp1bTE1d3dFWkM3R3VjVTl4M014bHA3bk1lbmRTVk13ZkZNNVhUcHdtbjZURjV6RmQ2TGg2bG9LdzRDaUxqUzZ0VXlnS19RMlI2VlE3MnRuQlZxVnExRnEwZDZucUJXVnRzTWpfcDYyTW8zcmhnVmdKV2Z6UWhsUnpfQkhUSW4tSFd0RmpFUFRsblVBRzVSOVBNeTJuS0ZtVGhQdz09 |

I'm a 36 year old female dating a 37 year old male. We've been together for over 5 years. Over the course of our time together my boyfriend has woken me up at night occasionally but in the last year or so it just keeps getting worse.
It's gotten to the point where he wakes me up in the middle of my sleep 2-3 times a week. It's usually for what I consider selfish reasons like last night he tried to wake me up 3 times after I'd been asleep for about 4 hours to go with him to the store to get him cigarettes.
As he tried to wake me up all I could think about was how angry I was. I put a pillow on top of my head to drown him out and tried to go back to bed. I ended up getting about 5-6 hours of sleep total because the sleep disruption caused me to not be able to go back to sleep consistently and I had to get up to go to my 2nd job.
This morning I told him for probably the 10th time he was not to wake me up in the middle of my sleep unless it was an emergency. He seemed somewhat irritated by this and didn't really respond.
Would you just break up in this situation? I'm honestly thinking of giving him one more chance, but I"m not sure what to do. I'm working two jobs, I've not had a day off in two weeks and I feel like he's not respecting my boundaries. | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-06 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jNXNrdWM2RS0xY3ZWVzVTa0xWdm5ma2o0TTMtWXBlRWM2YUc4OFZUdlBtWmQ2NVBGZVd2cUdyWlYzYnhnNDU4SjluZnhsNHhjS0gwc2N5XzRZV29QNGk2V01CREhEWXNONWRxUHktaWFRR2s9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kcGp0Z21ES2RJcjFHRTNuVGNzd1VqdmFxQTNrQUtCMHltVmpzblNwZ2xBejFxWTBQYXhWX2dKWkd3VEdTWVdUUXFQS3JiY3RxM2l5OHNza2pVZ251emtHWENXQVpidjJ4M1VCanEwOEtOcFZDeUtUbFdaQk82Y242TUdBRnB5V2l6dlBmMTVXX3ZnMk5DNml2ZWtJWTBYTjVfb3p0ZXRFRC1ZUExuUTk4OEtVbVBGZTN3enZXUjJVaHIwZGlORnF1bVpPSWJVaG50a2hHY0dEOUlfeWY0Zz09 |
After battling an aggressive form of bladder cancer, my husband Craig entered home hospice just before the new year. Once home, he surprised everyone by lasting much longer than expected.
White Lotus became his final obsession. After watching the second episode in late February, we both said "wow" and agreed it was one of the best shows we'd ever seen. We binged the entire first season and rewatched all the third season episodes and extras.
He tried negotiating to stay alive until the third season finished. I promised to do my best to get him to that Sunday, though his situation, long precarious, was clearly deteriorating.
When Sunday evening came for the fourth episode, at 9 PM I started playing White Lotus. Though barely able to speak, his eyes remained glued to the screen. I took some photos, and when the episode ended, I rushed over to hug him and tell him how much I loved him. He passed away a few hours later in the early hours of Monday morning.
In the weeks since, our friends have gathered on Sunday evenings to finish watching the season for him, and will be getting together for tonight’s finale.

This is just the first round of tariffs set to be imposed. I think to allow for a negotiation period giving Trump an excuse to ease off.
If Trump doesn’t back down, expect more tariffs in a few weeks. | r/wallstreetbets | post | r/wallstreetbets | 2025-04-06 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jeXFBeTJ6VnpLNDJyRFVUNGlSN0FlN2ZZVkdTZ1lackpTUkljblpsdC1iWjBPUTVYQzhqaFBlWEVRSzRnYkVNQ0V4aDdRTXpuM2x4eDc1dHlXQmJzVUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kRUYwNWpabTNma0lyVTJCTWk0UnA2dDhNOWpkVGdVak1iVG9qTXRvbFNpVURlWnI3LTZ3WTZoUXEzSDN2UG9WaFR6YXZGNWRfTDZyWG5ETnNTYVltbm45Y0cxT2lLSEFRaFdhMm1WQWJTMmJYLUt1SXAtbU9lamFKSTVSZjBqQ2dlRWx3S2VpMGlwbkprZlVWOVBUdUZ1a1VnSndiWTk3ZjlOMktxUmo2R1lPN1dyOEhid0lwZjFQMlhDVmdIanBjMUQzZm1MLVRDY0ZzZC10eFloclhYQT09 |

Fern (Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End) using Qual as a training dummy because in 80 years since his being sealed, his signature attack is now the base-level attack in modern Magic and he’s real weak now. | r/topcharactertropes | post | r/TopCharacterTropes | 2025-04-06 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jWHpfQ3BBVmF1V01VYzVrNDdHdkV3UmZtbWNlbHZDSm5scE1wQzlxajZHTHZPcnpkdkpiS3R1RkJocEZYN19kRWJsLVUzUHVfSU5ic0VMYWxMaEp6LXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5keWpMS1EwaVh2OTJuUnpiVmRVMVF6SVpvWUo5ZS11cXJNRE5Kd0dObHEyazd3S015dnBmZGhoejA4eExRM1NUc1ZqTUJ2blJES0hYRlJ6QUcyNkJNdVg0ODg3TURmQUhrRk9iVHBjY1N3Z2dZMzNkREM3S1pKUk04NjJQWFlZdTBpUmJHY2dxS3RpUkVjNGgzSkxLSlluaFBQcG9kQUVSNnNYVVktWk1aM2lYT0Z3NGRXSEdMM2lRZ1BVcHdPLXR2QkhBaW9idjR1MUl5TUJXd0F3SUZ5UT09 |
For context, yes I know this is a stupid issue. But my brother gave me this shirt. He is an atheist like my whole family and he is the only one in the family who supports me in my faith, so this gift means a lot to me, but I still don't know if I can wear this shirt or not? I mean... there is nothing directly offensive about it. But I don't know what to feel of the change from "roll with me" to "walk with me" and the whole image of Jesus on a skateboard. Is it offensive? Or not? | r/christianity | post | r/Christianity | 2025-04-06 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jMHhFY083d05qXzFSendTLXRnZEpRdm5MUlJ6UVVuM3o1TGJYWk15V2tPaDZkd3VLWjZGWVgyS2lZZ0MxcWw1Z3FVdldlbVQyWTBlYU5kbDUxUlpLZWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5ka1lzYXJDa2tIMHVYNHAybGZndkVLOElXSnF3cExSU21FU1B0VHF0d01lOFVlV3RLWFczYmk3OVpLbmdKUzBSZUtXYU9fYmxNYVJxRE5JX3ZEbmV3Y2NhdFVXLXR3XzNtS0JpWUJITFpYQTk1cUtBZEpXakMzUF8zTmpTWnl2bW9uc0lQUVNrNkdrVHFQOGx1NmtWODFzVHV0NnhrVkNLZ0ZGQW5xSEQyLW1zWWlvblk2RmRoQ2hMU3VDZTFMMVlOZ05adkx6UW5fRm5zNDhEdXBfelNZZz09 |

My husband told me from the beginning he wanted a family of 3. My mental health isn’t the strongest and I told him from the beginning I can be a good mom to 1. And that’s what I am, an amazing mom to our little daughter. I can’t do more. I can’t do this again. He keeps telling me he wants more. He even told me he will leave me and have more elsewhere. I am considering leaving him now. I can’t put up with this. Are these empty threats? Clearly my husband doesn’t love me and the family I have given him. Financially, I am fine. I own my own condo that’s currently rented and paid off. I make good money. I can’t believe I’m in this situation. I feel so bad for my daughter too. She doesn’t deserve a dad who does this. She is enough. I am enough. | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-06 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jbFlCa0Z0Nm9kbVhCRjVuWXZ3OWtFQnJKSmozcWVVd0RFR05OdlhIZEs0UFdrWFl3ZnR1T1RhRkJHMFIxSFQ2ZEdWS0xRdTcwemVWMlF1LVRzNjlCNzc1cHJrN19PU2QtZXRWcEo3MU9heWs9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kY0d0ZUtueHR3VnVpWXpaRzJzZW03MEJOU29oVmx6NFhWQnJEUlo5ZmVMZU5sVUllQzMxMUlSZkxZLTNkSEdnZjdpaWlHb05ub21naUtnWWl6dThkTDIwX09mWXQxR2tJT0dGaTVFOEt0Wm5xR25kN1EwdU5hVmd3OWlFWDRqV3lPcjdPSktHNXpnZmRrcnRUQnhaS21UdXUyc2dSdzE5WThfX1dUVU0zU1VxeGhxU0FpcDY1dWxuUm85MVV4UWVnampJc3dodHdTbmJoM0gzNTJ0WkJIUT09 |

1- Sakura (Naruto) - The most infamous example of this and the reason why the post is named after this, a lot of female characters in the show have this problem but Sakura is the biggest victim, making her a jerk against Naruto and a lot of action sequences make her look way weaker than she should. They even added scenes that didn't happen in the manga with the purpose to make her worse.
2- Sanji (One Piece, Toei animation) - Sanji fans (me included) had been pointing out through the years how this character has been humiliated by Toei by making him look weaker than it should like Sakura but also having way more perv scenes than the manga, which Oda (author) himself has reduced significantly during the last years. The topic became trending in the fandom recently after the last anime episode after the hiatus, with stuff like straight up removing him from an important scene for NO reason and making him SIMP FOR AN UNDERAGE GIRL WITH HEART EYES, SOMETHING THAT ODA DIDN'T IN THE MANGA, this controversy reached to the point that japanese fans are complaining about the pedophilia implications on social media.
3- Jerry (Rick and Morty) - This case is sad, Jerry may not be smart but he was right of distrusting Rick because of the strange world that he is bringing to his family with all his inventions and the intergalactic stuff, the season 2 finale proved his fear with his family having to hide before Rick gave himself in. But then from season 3 he became a punching bag, either for the writers or the directors, and it reached a point that watching his scenes became uncomfortable. I'm not even bringing the incest stuff on this. | r/topcharactertropes | post | r/TopCharacterTropes | 2025-04-06 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jNlVVZzRUVU1JR21CODZMVnNuRU82TWI2N3hpSE5nbmxqWnNXaFQzT2phX2VBTTF1dUZFU0x1ZXZydmdTRjdyd3ZUVThVRUdTdUdWTE5FaUtTbXpyVUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kMHNaa2R6d1pYeXpveVJGTUxYWUZJMGJseE1VOUY3bGRvYjlpREk3THJMQ3dWQ0xXckpyN0ZwYmlaaVhOUDNrSVNkWUtIR2pOV3N5VXNQSjlta1k3aG1uZDNCVXI4aEN0TUZvc1FBWWpZM0stZFB2dDdhQkdKTDQtSFVDd2tzUW1Lci1JQlZWRGpYLTFiUGpOanpuMWFER3RFT2VNVUNkX2J3THNDY1dzQkF3VWlNVEFibEh1NkEtZDRKS2syWTZ1ZmRUalo5amd3dXo4Z1RfQzZGa2xHUT09 |
The past two weeks we haven’t really been having much sex, and she said no today so I respectfully asked why. I think my wording was “when you say no to sex, what’s the reason usually, I’m just curious”. She said she doesn’t need to give a reason (which I absolutely respect do not get me wrong) and I tried to explain that I was only asking because I was wondering if it should be something to worry about because it’s not usual for us. I was just genuinely curious.
She also, after I had let the question go, said that me asking that is “against consent” which I reiterated that I was not asking because I was upset she said no, but because I was curious and also because we haven’t been having sex recently, which was not said aggressively btw. But she kept on saying that it’s wrong of me to ask which got me very angry because that was very clearly not my intention at all. When she says no, usually stop all my advances (the correct thing to do of course), which I also did in this instance.
How could I have been more respectful?
UPDATE: we’ve sorted it out. Both of us have exams or are really busy so it’s definitely a factor of why she’s not in the mood, she’s also got family issues currently which I have just been made aware of so she is a bit more irritable. Tbh the people saying “break up with her now!!!” Have clearly never been in a relationship or at least not been in one long enough to have highs and lows. This was just a low and she apologised for her wording, said it wasn’t non-consensual but made her uncomfortable which she is allowed to feel. I also shouldn’t have asked right after she said no in hindsight, so I’m not going to do that again. | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-06 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jQUplNjNTU2dsRmpvVU9kTVVLbDhBZGxnMFE5ZGJ2d0RuM2M3UXpqVFE1c1ZaUkFCYldMTUVnbEpqUmU4ZTNyTjZ1OGI2UC1GanY5bVlZT19lT0F0aVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kZ3V2bXg4VnZZSnB0c1VjSFJaVmxZZTY5SDRicURabllaOGNxR2ZLcGE2eTIyX0FjZl9iWmJGeV9FYzVkRGl4eU9vQVRGU3N3RlpoTDQzQ2UxN0ZOV3VmV2NJUWVhNTRkUW4zVk5icjZOSXhHV3o1MzR0ZC1CMkRxQW1vU0ZXRGRqQkdKTUFvU21oMHZ2ZFc3VWIzRXZaOWdQblpWVEllMmJld3dVNWR5cFl4Y3NVZDl4ZmNVUDlYbFRrZGpWaXRuZmE2TDVZY0xqTGZRNE12ek5hM0t5QT09 |
My husband and I have been married for 6 years, together for 12. The thing I have always loved most about this man is that he adores me and is always 100% honest with me.
Well, we just got home from a date. I’m still sitting in the car wondering if I’m crazy. But, there was a time when we were about 23 years old where I really wanted a baby. We tried so hard for about a year but it never happened. Honestly, I can admit now that that idea was out there and I’m genuinely glad we didn’t conceive then because our lives are so great now and at this point I don’t even think I want kids.
Anyways. On our date, he mentioned that time period where we were trying/ and he let slip that every day before we did it he would j*rk off so that there would be less of a risk that it would actually happen. I think he admitted this because I was just talking about how glad I was that we didn’t have kids. So he felt comfortable admitting that.
I was to taken aback and started crying mid date. I know; it sounds dramatic; but I feel like I just learned that he’s never been 100%honest with me like I thought. Why not just talk to me then and say “hey; I don’t think it’s the right time” instead of manipulating me? We did it every single day during that time and now I just am questioning everything.
He’s acting like it’s no big deal and that I’m just overreacting but I feel extremely hurt right now. So, am I blowing this out of proportion?
UPDATE: hey everyone, I wanted to let everyone know what transpired last night following this post. I go SO many helpful comments and I appreciate them all. Some comments were very ‘out there’ and dramatic (even for me ;)) but I still appreciate the time it took to read my post and reply.
I saw some common themes so I wanted to clarify some things. Firstly, I did reflect back on that time and realized that I did have baby fever. And while he NEVER outright told me he didn’t want a baby, I can see now that he wasn’t as enthusiastic as I was so that could be on me for being so focused on what I wanted. Secondly, I was NEVER upset that he didn’t want a baby or even the way he went about it, the only thing that hurt my feelings was the withholding of information and not being direct with me.
Following the initial hurt of the situation, we did sit down and talk it out. We have grown, and I explained my feelings to him. He apologized and understood why I felt hurt. We’re going to be fine. I made it clear that in the future, he doesn’t need to do something just to make me happy if his heart isn’t in it and we both agreed to be more direct with one another.
We read some of the comments on this post together. Some made him open his eyes to how I was feeling (thank you) and others made us laugh out loud because they were a bit extreme (also thank you because laughing together helped us 🫶🏼)
And yes, we now know that is NOT an effective form of birth control ;)

My girlfriend of almost five years recently told me that my taste in music is a major turn off for her, and she’s been hinting at breaking up over it. For context, my playlist mostly includes artists like Tate McRae, Lady Gaga, and Sabrina Carpenter, along with other general pop music. She’s into hardcore rap, mostly artists I’ve never heard of, which she calls “up and coming.”
I’ve never really been into explicit music and prefer slower, more chill melodies. We don’t have a healthy middle ground when it comes to music in the car. When I play my songs, she says it sounds like nails on a chalkboard, calls it “retail store music,” and even questions my masculinity by saying “straight guys” shouldn’t listen to it.
Honestly, I think it’s childish to threaten a relationship over something like music taste. It’s been weighing on me all week, and I’m not sure what to do. What is the best way to approach this situation? | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-06 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jLWVGVkhQQmRMZEpaLVo1UWNZb0tfaGhEeWR6b3N5ZXhyMndMNzJsVDlBUHduazhVMHJ1WHY4bDc4ZkVuV3lRX0dTbTJ4UjJORk9ra0tlZ0FMZmczd0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kWVZ0VFJ2OG1iRUNyXzNtZWcxMUtkS1JkZExlUTJVLW9HcHhwT0R3V1dfbnZ1eEJ1WHFtYmFLTTJRbEc5bWNrTllBcTV3cmpYSEdleld6NmJoT05HWEE5MGFLMTBJVEgtRjhPcW52dkkzX1hybzR0ODNEano2UjFmdTRjNzBkS2p5cXR0a3ZvMi03M3F5UVNYWmd6Y3JtaC1wSmp1c2QzZWZ2RGsyZmR1NDRtakxNVlliNGRnR1FuR3lJTEZsaWN1elRUWHFVTmMyMmZXd0xxeGNYNEtIQT09 |

So to add context, I am a film major. We have a final due these next weeks and we can really only shoot on weekends. She is upset that not only are we shooting on Saturday(typically that is a day we hangout) but also the cast has 3 women in it and they are coming to my house. Let me be upfront. It won’t just be me and these women. There is another guy in the cast and my crew(also men). Not to mention the fact that my parents will be right there. Aside from these facts, my sets have never been closed off to her. She has always been invited to come watch, and even take part in the films I make. My group has exhausted every option before I offered my place as a shoot location. | r/amioverreacting | post | r/AmIOverreacting | 2025-04-07 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jdnJOQkJRV2hJVlR5RU1TclZxNU5iUUhVQjJqVFhYVnpia0MtLWd5VGVEWGFjaWhPcUxzREgxMmpFOXVJSDRsbGFXRXVxbTBqemRxZkp6aEF4cThrNFZXNGd3d05lLTFwYmY5dGFLYmJabWc9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kNC1wZk1MNkd6OEpCTlRKU3ZzWnRhRkVfZ2xkTDVmNnRnWlhJejVoV3l5R2JnNXAxQldTODB3TElOT1BlTi0ySlVpZ3JsdGtEUmI3Y0RvUzlCRkN1MGtrSWtCNUY0NVFWWU5rdFhicG9lOGFjWERkeElobGdwNGpmTWhfbUh5Z205VWFjQlpya285V0w3VkRmNmctX0hXdVlWOEo3ZkhVSVBzM05RQ0RmZlNtMkFtb1RKWW5rUndpMzVFR2stYWhhWjlKb3cyZmNWUGJYNHhiU3hJbjk2dz09 |

I’m so confused why everyone is hating so hard on Belinda for “doing the same thing to Pornchai that Tanya did to her”
Here are the reasons I complete disagree with that sentiment:
1.) Tanya went OUT OF HER WAY to get Belinda’s hopes up, when Pornchai was the one to bring it up and Belinda didn’t even seem to fully commit to the idea?
2.) Tanya had SIGNIFICANTLY more money than Belinda. It was a raindrop in an ocean for Tanya where for Belinda it would be a more significant chunk of her money.
3.) ITS DAY ONE of Belinda having this money. It would be incredibly irresponsible to immediately make a huge decision on what to do with it.
4.) She just met Pornchai. If this is really her dream maybe she wants to put some more thought into it and hire someone who can really bring her vision to life. And who knows, maybe down the line she will call Pornchai and invite him to join her.
5.) Last but not least, Tanya was not ON THE RUN. She simply decided to not follow through. Belinda is staying steps away from someone she knows to be a killer who knows SHE knows he’s a killer. Of COURSE she’s taking the first boat out.
Give my girl Belinda a break and let her be excited and wealthy and take some time to decide what she wants to do.

Come onnnn. Even the evil rich people would be deeply traumatized by a mass. shooting. Like, Zion was in the SWAMP trying to get away from the shooter episode one !?!? I get he’s rich now but my ass would NOT be on the departing boat like 😎🥂💅 Were the Ratliff’s already on the boat when the shooting happened? I am sooo put off by this oversight.

Watching these three interact this season—especially as a woman—I thought they absolutely *nailed* the passive aggressive, frequently two-faced nature that plagues too many friendships, particularly friendships between women. It was traumatizing to watch in that it was way too relatable, the fake smiles and the pairing off to talk shit about the third and history repeating itself.
At surface level, they were the representation of every friendship I'm glad is behind me.
But Laurie's entire speech? And Jaclyn's line about how it can be such a lonely world? "People judge you for your superficial defects. You guys judge me for my *profound defects*." Suddenly it makes sense why these women are still friends, despite talking behind each other's backs or being at each other's throats pretty much every other day.
At the core, they're the representation of every friendship I'm glad to still have. The friendships that stand the test of time. Those people you can lose touch with for weeks or even months, and then the next time you talk, it's like you're just picking up where you left off. The "we have seen each other at our worst, heard the worst, *said* the worst, and we're still here" sort of connections.
Same as life, time gives relationships meaning. So few things and people in life are "forever", and how rare and beautiful is that, to write multiple chapters with people you love when so many can and do disappear after just one? To get to eventually end a story with the people who were there at the start? | r/thewhitelotushbo | post | r/TheWhiteLotusHBO | 2025-04-07 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jbTZuNXZia0pXM2JhTEtiUFkteGpBYVAxTmlPNHNyZm53d3ZiRXNVejM0S2hnd3p6SXFvbFVvVDRnd0ZpQU9welducWZabVV5bFNkRGJXTHVFVmVBcWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kVlNvYVJ6Zm1ra3JCWVprYWlFanRQYWVaTVdPYXVLcW1JV2w1dE9FV3g4Z3Vod25fZm1HbUxPOWJRNmlZWDZyek1YWlJub2Q0ZkFyT3lWbU1RaWZLMFpoMGozd1REWTY0em5tbV9SSDl4VU1vVk1lSUIyVTZDMEdKVDZlV3Q2ZUNNS3FIRkpvUTI3dGd5QlBBR1cyYk0tcnBCbzdNUUxhUFdHaVJSZUhIclVwZ3BXOUZtTmpxMl9zQWNSeW80ZHh3S0hRMmM3TFd1LUNkNkFiMVRlQTFsdz09 |
Just watched the finale and I am surprised at some of the reactions I've been seeing, so I wanted to share some of my thoughts that I've been piecing together!
To preface this, I feel many folks are critiquing the show from the perspective of a murder mystery and not as a character study. I totally get why, I think a lot of modern TV has conditioned us to expect plot-driven storylines with many twists and turns that surprise at every corner. White Lotus is not that, and never has been!
Now for Season 3 itself, I feel like so many of the storylines wrapped up so poetically and so beautifully. (Spoilers ahead for the finale, read at your own risk!)
• Rick >! turns his back on Chelsea, his potential for a happy future by running back to his past. This "kills" her - both literally and figuratively! !<
• Lochlan >! drinks up "toxic" masulinity, trying to become a "real" man like Saxon keeps saying he is. !<
• Tim >! basically "gets away" with "murder" - as many rich people often do. !<
• Kate, Laurie, and Jaclyn >! each represent a root cause of suffering in Buddhism: ignorance, aversion (aka anger, hatred), and craving (aka attachment, greed). In the end, Laurie finds inner peace by accepting how she got to where she was, and letting go of her anger towards Jaclyn, leading her to an unexpected source of joy. Carrie Coon's monologue was everything here! !<
• Belinda >! abandons her morals as quickly as she came into money, showing that despite how "good" of a person she is, that sort of power changes people. She is no "better" than any of the other rich people at the resort, and (of course) leaves Pornchai the same way Tanya left her in Season 1. !<
• Gaitok >! lands Mook via his "killer instinct." Need I say more, lol. !<
Overall, I was really satisfied with the way they shared each "lesson," and I'm itching for a rewatch. Season 1 took me a while to get into as well, and it wasn't until a proper rewatch that I really understood the true beauty of the show. There's nothing like it on TV now, so I'm just grateful to see a great character study fuel so much discussion! | r/thewhitelotushbo | post | r/TheWhiteLotusHBO | 2025-04-07 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jSHpjeFh6YnNURlJUXzF5Y0lFbDYtZFRpeXlkazI1TmQ2RHQ2UTlkUHU4c1ZFRnM0MmxvaWlkeG40R0VUNFdzcFVRWkw1YU1PR1JsblJsQk1CeTZYU0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kRkg2emtIYnNxdndVT0VXSjlOemU1VUw4RWVWdTZ2anN3N1pNVVBxbHppTERSTW5USktCOEJXU1FnZUNaQjAweDNpc011MndIWGlHRW9TeTc0R2Fyd250YXJTVmVuTVlNWmlFVnFkWEZqcWtEOXJJWHlKaWxYUm5rX3A1a2ZRRWZrSzJfVmpBTGtaZGR0aFoxQ0pWOGQ5dEV4dmVkUlVOWTVQanhIVGE1cFlYUXg2SkhTeWZlSWZSWnJIYy1DMS12RUJRZS1hV2M4RkhOR0pvSWJXc1Qydz09 |
First, I know literally no one would speak out for these two poor bodyguard guys. They unfairly died because of the shootout. Their only crime was bullying Gaitok mentally. Lmao.
Back to the title statement, I expected more with casting a global icon like Lisa as a character. At the end, she just turned out to be an uninteresting, unnecessary and indifferent character. No character arc, no dynamic. Just plain boring. Surprised to see her listed as a main cast. She isn't even as important as Chloe who is a recurring character.
If I were her, with that obviously super pretty physical appearance, I would join a pageant (You know Thailand is a big pageant country) or some sort of film casting to be a star instead of staying in an island and pushing or gaslighting an incompetent hotel guard to be something he really didn't want to be.
And every time she and Gaitok meet, they smile and he asks "Wanna go on a date", she replies "Okay" or "May be later", seems quite brutally repetitive to me. And no distinctly memorable scenes of them.
Forgive me if I'm too critical. I simply expected more from her tbh. | r/thewhitelotushbo | post | r/TheWhiteLotusHBO | 2025-04-07 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jdUVGbFY4TkRGTFZ6NmZyQjVnT0lFRXczalVYVzg1SGFZUFYtZ3VQcjdvM0R5ajZXY3VQZno4Q25PMmJlU0gwUmxjZVVNdFZNeWdkYWNUQ216bjZ2TlQ4cW95SHVFTUQ4M2kycXB0Vm8zTEU9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kNExZZ0VZbzhnR0VZbXNxQjVBN0JwaHM2bjY3MXZvMUR0SVBia1MzVjUyZGtsb25YVFhkZ01oVWItZmo3bVQwbmROZWdqa05UamVEb3JRVVhXcXlzVm51czJJemNvYlB2QTE5S1JOUnZ4ZHJ2STBfMFN4VC1kWDBmYm5TeDZ0dTctd0hZVm5rN2RIT2Z5ZTRXcTBlWWFLbUxxdVYtV05UN21mTDVXV3VSM1JXNHZKRm1yRG1YbVZzNDVzYWNJaW5ZaUtlQUNBTWg2TnV0UVNmRFZqQUV6QT09 |

My wife and I disagree on my leaving the military, and it’s become a huge source of stress in our relationship—to the point where she has threatened to leave me if I get out.
We’re high school sweethearts and have been together for 13 years, married for nearly 11. She is truly my soulmate, and I’ve cherished watching us grow up together. We have three kids (7, 2, and 1).
I joined the military right out of high school, and we got married as soon as I finished training. Since then, I’ve deployed three times to Afghanistan as a 19D Cavalry Scout, and in 2020 I commissioned and became a helicopter pilot. During this time, my wife has absolutely crushed it in school and is now working full-time as a pediatric nurse.
I have the opportunity to leave the military in 2026, and I badly want to do it—for several reasons, but mainly because I miss my children so much. In the last three years, I’ve only spent 16 months at home between a deployment I’m currently on and various TDY assignments. I’m miserable, and I’m worn out.
My wife is completely opposed to the idea. She hates it and constantly belittles me when I bring it up, saying things like, “You’re a man—it’s your job to provide stability,” and, “You’d be a bad dad to subject our children to the uncertainty of you getting out.” Every time we try to talk about it, it turns into a blow-up.
Right now, we bring in about $200K after taxes. I’ve completed my bachelor’s degree and have already been accepted to a very good university (Top 10 in the country) to pursue my master’s in business. The long-term earning potential is off the charts. New graduates of the program are averaging $200K starting salaries, with 95% landing a job within three months of graduating.
Our income would definitely drop while I’m in school—probably down to around $150K between my wife’s salary, my GI Bill, and VA disability—but after two years, we’d be doing far better than we are now.
This seems like a viable option that would finally allow me to be the dad and husband I want to be. But my wife is dead set against it—to the point where she’s threatened to leave me.
I’m just looking for an outside perspective here. Have I lost it?
Edit:
My kids are definitely mine. All three of them look exactly like me 😂. Unless she is flying my brother in while im not around, haha. | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-07 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jaGxTUmRVWlRKODROS3ljWTIwNWN3ai1Ua0l0eHhQdzlxT0Nlcnd3VmtXdVFEMTc1Rm8zWlNzbkFiZUxKaFhVUWlEZzhyWHFSVWxzTWVBNk9UajVvVFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kYS1zYnJCZWRaR2JqU3V2MVVBazFkWGIzWXZLNjJjdDRUV19yUlpwQlZfX2Y2MHltdmFmWjhJNlVqVlFsdzREZ25LNGJpS3d1XzhNaTF1R3NDOGVNU2ZXaTd6by1wT2Rzd1V2eXFfSENVOF9Ka2FQUmJhMTV3WDlmb1hYUF9YOFhmOEI4QWg5Rmw3MU1WYnJrZ2hKR3FkNXV6MjdsSE9Xckoza1RZVG9OalNPa3V0U0lWa3haNVF1Uk9ORmJCRFdyQTA5cUNDUjFHcm5TV3lrV1BZa1pRWDRwMDFlaTV6ek5vYlhCSFM1TnVjdz0= |
I’m going to try and keep this as short as possible.
I was working full time, but due to daycare days off because of illness, I had to leave my full time role, and for about 5 months I have been doing DoorDashing during the days to be able to come up with half the money for bills.
The kids (2f&3m) are in daycare Monday to Friday, some weeks I don’t dash everyday. But most weeks I do.
I then come home, clean and start cooking for dinner. I do daycare drop offs and pick ups by myself. My partner comes here and there for pick ups.
When we get home, my partner goes off in to another room and we really only see him when he comes out to go to the toilet or when he’s saying goodnight to the children.
While I’m having to get them home, relaxed, cook their dinner (partner doesn’t like eating before 8pm and the kids go to bed at 7pm), have them fed, bathed, in pjs and ready for bed.
Then I have to cook our dinner, clean up and then still have time in the evenings for my partner.
Come the weekend and it’s the same, with me being the one taking care, playing, feeding, everything with our children while he gets to sleep in until midday and then go off to his space because it’s “his day off and he needs to relax”
I understand he works hard. I understand he has a physically demanding job (plasterer). But I don’t understand how 99% of his time spent at home is on his own and not with us. His family. Or his children. But he expects to be treated like a king?
I am so incredibly exhausted every single day, after a massive weekend, our daughter had her best friends birthday party, I just wanted to take today off and not do anything. I cleaned a little bit but no where near what I normally would.
My partner got home and got angry that I chose to be lazy today and do nothing around the house.
Then I forgot we didn’t have cucumber for dinner so I ran to the corner store to get one. And they didn’t have any. I had hardly any fuel so I just came back home to save my fuel for the morning. So there’s no cucumber with dinner and now he doesn’t want to eat it. Fine. But I’m not cooking anything else. He got mad and made a comment that I’m lazy and I should have realised earlier and that I’m a joke.
I am exhausted and we constantly bicker about him not really helping at all. Tonight this was our text exchange. Mind you, he was in his room texting me instead of either waiting for the children to go to bed or coming in and speaking with me.
I struggle with Anger Management and I am in therapy for that as well as PPD and I am in Cancer treatment for skin cancer. I’m hardly getting more than 2 hours solid sleep a night before I’m woken up by one or the other baby, and then before I know it, its 6am and they’re ready to get up. All I’ve ever asked for him to do, is instead of going to the room, he could sit out on the couch and watch the children so I can make dinner and not stress about tiny children running in to the kitchen. Or get up at a decent time on the weekends, so I could have a sleep in one day. Or help overnights if I’m struggling. I don’t ask for constant help. Or for it to be 50/50 but I’m struggling and my partner seems to not care because to him, he’s too tired from his physical job that he can’t be expected to come home and then help with the children too.
Am I Overreacting?
