I think that 9th grade should be moved from high school to middle school because 9th grade often repeats 8th grade material under the assumption most students are new to high school and aren’t ready for the next level. High school could more focused on college prep for 10-12 graders and moving 9th grade better matches their avg development stage.
Edit: i live in the usa and it seems to be there is many different systems in the usa and in the world when it comes to this i was talking about the elementary 1-5 Middle 6-8 and high 9-12 system | r/unpopularopinion | post | r/unpopularopinion | 2025-04-29 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jdXZrN212WHFvTkdjMTRSck5lMmI2YlBIWHFvQmJZZV9UODlndHVwOEdEUGJqV3hIeTVXN1c0aHJnS3pUSVJkb2R1OXR6eE9XcEtTTS12YVhGdGM3N2ZUS205aWVhVGRyX1l6cnl4YVh6MFU9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kdXdHbVYwR1Q2WDg5bjlWYlVyTTdXN1FfZzRqLTF5YzlfZzlwbEtNRXhmX2hDWDdibHIxTUdWci1MUUhvWU54aUo4R0hTMzd4R3JVQ2xwVjlkM2hhbElEWTY4eUc1UXBLLUZpd3ZmZmhNV01LaU9pMjRYNDVqRUpweU1SbEZMU204U3VxWGlFSFJQZmkxR2w0ZnRHM1NlaU55N191QVZiWU9Fdy1TRy11NmJNREpSaXRCRlB6VGhQMnV5VnBEWFYyOElvTF9lSjFmRjJCXzM1cm5UTXJkZz09 |

I mean you don’t take any mulligans, you putt everything out, and you penalize yourself correctly. Tournament golf.
I would say my score is 95% legit, I will maybe once a round give my self a putt I probably should putt out, and I don’t always drop my penalty ball where you should. But I have stopped taking mulligans and hit 3 from the tee. | r/golf | post | r/golf | 2025-04-29 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jZEFpSUp5WDcxd2t3TU9nc3IxTzhZcVV0VENZeFJWc3dpRE9uMW11NDl6WVRkV2Y0VUpJMVBDVlRoZVRmak9OQjZ6aVNuNGxEVDNMZWprWXU5OUFKZmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kcjZ2MTFfUkc5dkc2R0YxcGJhR1Z4N0N2SlBpM1ZJeElBVEtCVF9BaGVVaEZ2TEJqaE1Qa0JDUVZoX0hqRkVTZ0xWNWthMlEtdlNhcVlULUJHM1E4d3kxZVlCYjQ2T2MybjV5VHJIZG9VZVBWTXNNQzZlV0gzVkpaQTVmOWVSTlR0SUdEaDN1cmpXZ2VZSjhlbGJJejZ4ZXl2VGRDdlJESDhMb0RON3VtQzhnRU9GNDBTNzdkbkxVendZSjB1MlI5 |
My mom invited herself to visit when I will be 8 months pregnant, which I am already not thrilled about. But having accepted that it would hurt her feelings if I said no, what I REALLY don't want to do is be a tour guide. Since I am peeing and napping a lot at this point, I spend most of my time working from home or sitting on the couch and pretty much only go out occasionally to eat or sit on the couch at a friend's house. As such I am not in the loop of local events or touristy things, and don't have much desire to do anything out of my routine.
When I asked mom what she wants to do while she's here, she said "nothing in particular" and that it was "up to me". I shared one thing I'd already been planning to do on my own, but said it would be helpful to get a sense of what she's interested in, hoping she'd take the hint and plan some stuff as a starting point. She's only made one suggestion so far, saying she "wasn't sure where it was located". It took me literally 10 seconds to look it up and find out that it's 2.5 hours away, so of course I vetoed that idea but it irritated me that she couldn't do that herself. It's especially annoying given that she barely has a job right now, while I'm still working my regular schedule on top of all the dr appointments and prep my wife and I are doing prior for mat leave.
I'm wondering if I should just bite the bullet and plan stuff myself, or allow her to arrive with no plan if she doesn't take the initiative. I'm worried that the latter will result in too much dead time in which she can bring up conspiracy theories and alternative medicine, or want to bond (none of which I'm comfortable with). I also know that my history with her is making me stubborn and I don't want to make my own life harder out of spite. What's the better option here? | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-29 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5janBOc1R5REktMXBEdkVuUUxJaF83cElqMXFTUUt2bEdGcDVudl9TVlIyd2FlSjF6b0JwSjYwdkVqTXYtN292WVY2UUljTUlSS19SYnQzOXNPZkVLZVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kLXNlbkJGM05hbXNyNnRFZl81aE9VM0R5eE5QejdQekxjWUUyMS10bEZoZHprbXRuUno2Ul9vRExSTnUyZDBfMnhNUFZMZ0lDcFVwZGxpaVBYallVRmNTWDFxSTlLSEpPNXEyNnM0LW1FWnlGd0tNbElMV3VRT2JaQzY4blYwdWwwdFFiZG11SEo5TzEzclNINjQxVXlLWExYMTJubTQ1UTFvdWlqR3dici1CT0VGUktOX19Uam9WMEpCbnhaM1BDbk1Ncjh3dk9iUXZINVlyV2M5dmhIX2F0LVRlTGxWbnRpUERiejN5TFQ5dz0= |
Hi everyone,
I have been dating my boyfriend for about 6 months. I met him through a running club and we get along very well. I feel we are incredibly compatible and he makes me laugh so much. I could see us together for a long time.
Recently, we started getting intimate and we have ran into some issues. I am the second person he has ever had sex with. We have tried about 3-4 times to “do the dirty”. Each time, he mentions how nervous he is and cannot get an erection. He basically just shuts down after we start getting hot and heavy and remains soft. He gets really upset honestly. He has mentioned to me that his prior girlfriend took his ED very personally and cried and he said it traumatized him. When this happens, I do my best to be supportive and let him know it’s ok! I get that things happen and there’s no shame in it.
After the 2nd time this happened, he said he was going to talk to a sex therapist about this and consider viagra to manage performance anxiety. We had tried to have sex 2 more times after that and he still could not get an erection.
The lack of intimacy is making it hard for me to feel connected to him and see him as a long term partner. I feel like I’m subconsciously friendzoning him and I don’t want to do that. How do I communicate this to him in a kind and gentle way? Or will doing it make it worse? How would others handle this? Sex is a big part of a relationship, but I know it’s not everything. Thanks all. | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-29 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jZGNCTlQyOU81SjF3ZWQ0WGVTbkVobHZhbWNiSlNCc05yY00tQlVVOUZlS2x1MS1pYnkyX28tQUN0YUx2NnR6S2FQTnl3R1R5UmpOQ2k3SU5hbDA5R3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kVVBPRVEwbGlONkVIUjBfSkpXa3pqR29BbDBBdU9kMDFfbXV1THJHOGNGMjhKRGFrQjdZWFR0YlhobFNYTW5DaDlPN0EtUWFqTnRsLWJoMmxZdHdRcmpwYmxCdW1hMjZXRFdxOFd4QVpyMVFOM08zQUY0cmtuTW1Scmtqck5yTWJaNzJwUWVSR3FlanBLdVBhNVdNR3pJdlNXendZY3FHc1FuRDVGaGw4YUFJQWFGdWowQk5DcUZiZ00tbDBsUXFrQnRkdXQtYkFuZTZoWnVRLUIzZEhiZz09 |
obvious spoilers for all three seasons.
i will say that i like the mystery of who dies and i personally think it was done especially well in season 1 and season 2.
in season 3, it felt like there was a smaller pool of potential bodies, so to speak, and especially of potential killers (it was obviously going to be rick or tim vs gaitok). now, i did like season 3, but not as much as 1 and 2, and i think part of that is because it was just so obvious the entire time.
in season 2, when it became obvious tanya was in danger, it was towards the end of the season. season 3 has two dudes fantasizing about murder for what felt like half the episodes.
if they keep the “someone dies at the end of the vacation” premise for season 4, i would really like to see something new. we’ve tread self-defense (shane and armond), conspiracy to commit murder (the gays/greg and tanya), and a gunfight (rick and bodyguards/gaitok). what would you want to see next?
i think a truly accidental death with no outside involvement would be a subversion of expectations. tanya’s death was technically an accident but greg was planning to have her killed so idk if that really counts.
i also think something like two guests going from strangers to willing to kill could be done well. it’s kind of far fetched but if i recall correctly studies have shown that rich people have less empathy/compassion than those in lower economic classes, plus unhinged people exist everywhere especially in the white lotus. i kind of thought they might go here with rick and tim given how unstable both were but that was a red herring.
idk i just think there’s a lot of ways they can continue the formula without it being too predictable in season 4. how would you want to see it done?
edit: i know the show isn’t a murder mystery, it’s a social commentary. but the deaths are the hook to keep people watching for the social commentary. if you want the deaths to be done away with, is there some kind of hook you would rather see? | r/thewhitelotushbo | post | r/TheWhiteLotusHBO | 2025-04-29 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jX05tUFJLOElVYWRNM3JqTk9SMEN0eTlOY3ZYY3pORjFKY05EMV9nbElWVWY5TnhSMnV1UW83VzI3Nm40SmpRd2ZWZHBwZHAtRVBqeEtzb3U0TWE2TWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kUVhDTmhDeE5CS01DSHdqV3pKTGdCcklRS1hzamRzMnFZR3FPT0NvUmtmSXRDQWM3WVhfUkdQN084SlBOenRrc3R2LWVDYXgwM2planhnenMzTXRteUJnb1hjNWJRVnFOSHJrYlotVnEtck1vVjd1ZlV6RHk5QThHalFPZDlOU0pJWWhaNW5WVWZoeFhEQU5vc1k4ZDhsQUxXbWNMMUdJTk5OdUJNdHBvaXlrdkpWTEQ1c1MzaWlGUXJUeFJ4aGhvN2dwNzJaZHF6Qlotd1k0a0UyNUhOZz09 |
Well..this is shitty. Me 21M, & my now not anymore fiancé 21F cheated on me 2 days after I proposed to her. I’m going to try and keep it short and simple but i’ve never been cheated on especially in this type of way.
I enlisted into the marines a few months ago, I ship out next month..I have been with this woman for a while, a year now & i’ve known her for 4 years prior to actually proposing & having the thought of proposing to her. I’ve never had to go through her phone or anything because who wants a relationship or marriage like that? she was always so sweet and loving, she cooked, she was always there for me, she’s a fantastic mother & everyone knew about us.
I met her parents, all that. We decided to get a suite together and go out and just spend the last little bit of time together that we’d have before I ship out for basic training. I decided to put together a little something special and propose to her, I did that, she said yes and we had a great day together like normal.
Later that night she was sleeping & like I said i’ve never had a reason to check her phone, she had put my face ID in there so I decided to respond to check her messages on snapchat since it was blowing up like crazy (after she had posted a picture of us together). Of course it was another guy but I didn’t think much of it because I trusted her. Sure enough it was a whole conversation, her sending him a bunch of pictures, and the worst part by far..was of the picture of us that he had slid up on and commented on which said “only if he knew what I did to you that night😩”.
My stomach dropped and i’ve never felt more sick and disgusted. All within the same day we took that picture these comments were made from this guy. Her response to his comment was “It was really good, I can’t lie lol”. I slid the ring off her finger as she was sleeping, I seen tons of nasty comments..again, all within the same day these pictures were posted of us. After she woke up (I went and took a shower to try and clear my head questioning what the fuck had jus happened and what the hell did I jus read?) she had knew I went thru it as her brother was pissed off at her for it since he was out there chilling with me the entire time.
She then begged me and begged me and cried and sobbed, swore up and down that she’d never do it again…come to find out she had slept with this guy 5 days ago, so yeah before I proposed but still. Not only did she do that but she was texting the guy wanting to do it again AFTER I proposed.
As of now she’s willing to do anything to “fix” our relationship but I’m just so confused, why do this to a guy that wanted to give you everything and was always faithful throughout the entirety of the relationship? I don’t know what to do. Save the hate comments please, I just need genuine advice. Thank you. (sorry if I had some grammar errors, I’m typing this and still processing everything, I’m going to have a beer when I get home and read all of these so please no limit comment your experience, I just feel hurt especially after thinking I could trust her) | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-29 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jYXozMUxWTTlJTjJwUXBlUDBhVEN3UUV6RDBvRFJCVWxUYU8zWHg1SkpGR09uUUctNXBWaWpJY0pKZjZBOHVUZHQzeU9wV2NGYTE2ek9qd1ZiX1RCY2RtX0t2cFNZTGdSbU5KVW1QZFBwcU09 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kb0N5ZEhJaklQd3VkMUpwNklZSVhQWXA0VE5HNC1MUUZrYmt4VDBrYUdrMDRzcHEwMUwxT2dLZHR2aG9HZlpLWEVJTURWeU9TSEZmYVRCVGcwVm5HWU00Y0FnUENmc2J1V0hmWEMxM0ZOR01YcTZ3ZGQ2YTVPZklZY2J4RlV0MU1YdnJ0M1lLRkhYNDlCRkJhT1V5dmVBQWxEZ3V0OGxIQkxzOENQV0l6QXNPTGhCYzlmTEJJdWVpOTk2Wncwci1URkxmalZ3STBxNGtya21fNkNtOVFPdz09 |

She makes plans with a friend to go out for her upcoming birthday, I tell her that I’m worried about that, but she insists upon it. As time goes on it turns out the friends bf is coming too, along with some of his friends (some have expressed they’re into her), and they’re going to all be staying at an Airbnb.

**TL;DR:** Took my 4-year-old out for his first round of golf on my 31st birthday. Shot a 41. He had the time of his life. So did I. Take your kids golfing.
I played to a 14 handicap last season, but after a winter of lifting weights, my swing fell apart.
I’ve gotten way stronger, but now my nice little draw has become a full-blown duck hook. First four rounds this year? At least 30 over in each. I even shot in the 40s on a par-3 course. Brutal.
But yesterday changed everything.
It was my 31st birthday, and I took the day off work to take my 4-year-old son out for his first round of golf ever. We played a pretty tough local 9-hole course—par 34, playing around 3200 yards from the second tees. I moved up a tee box because I haven’t been swinging great and just wanted to enjoy the day.
We had the course mostly to ourselves, with just a twosome ahead of us. Perfect conditions.
He had a 5-iron and a putter. First tee, he smacked his ball with the iron, ran after it, hit it again, then hit it back toward me. Then he stood behind me while I hit my drive like a little caddie. We’d pick up his ball, drive to mine, and do it all over again.
Every time we got to the green, he’d say, “Daddy, I’m gonna try to get my ball in the hole before you do!” Then he’d sprint around the green hitting putt after putt until one finally dropped. And once it did, he’d leave it in the hole and cheer me on.
And somewhere along the way, I realized something: if I want my son to love this game like I do, he has to see that it’s *fun.* Even when your swing sucks. Even when you’re not scoring well. Even when things go sideways.
So I made a choice—I was just gonna enjoy it. No technical thoughts. No scorecard anxiety. My only swing thought the whole day was “Freddie Couples smooth.”
I wasn’t trying to bomb anything. I wasn’t trying to fix anything. I was just playing golf with my son. And because of that, the bad shots didn’t matter. I just smiled, pointed at the trees or the sky or his little grin, and kept walking.
Shot a 41 (+7). Best round I’ve had in months.
After the round, we split some fries and had a beer—root beer for him, of course—outside the clubhouse. We sat in the sun just soaking it in.
He looked at me and said, “Happy birthday, Daddy. Did you have a good birthday?”
I said, “This was the best birthday of my life. Thank you for playing with me today.”
Then he said, “I want to play golf with you for the rest of your birthdays. And mine. I love you.”
I just about lost it.
Best round I’ve ever played.
Best birthday I’ve ever had.
Take your kids golfing.

I’m (20F mistyped in title idk how to change) in a long distance relationship with my bf (21M), when we have sex I don’t finish very often (maybe 5/10% of the time). He’s the only person I’ve had sex with but I think it’s a mental problem for me rather than anything he’s doing/not doing since he puts in a lot of effort. I am interested in getting a vibrator since it’s been a long time since I’ve finished, with the combination of being long distance and not finishing much in general, but he is pretty insecure about the fact that I don’t finish very much so I’m not sure how to bring it without hurting his feelings
Edit: thanks for so many replies so fast! For more context we are long distance (mentioned but I think some people missed that) so I wouldn’t want to feel like I’m hiding anything by using it since he wouldn’t know. He also is very understanding in general, I feel like everyone is assuming the worst of him, I don’t think he will say no but he is a bit insecure about me not getting off that often and I don’t want to make that worse. I also don’t masterbate on my own bc it’s never felt good and i don’t rly get into the mood on my own, it’s more out of curiosity if that makes sense. | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-29 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jM0xYQ1RmSTlITXptUG9NRjRMS0dYd0RueUM3NkxnbTNBcktRWnpidGtVdVNtdHJlNHRZb19PUmRrWDhEU3VYYmZydkt5bXZscW53LU1jUmNCQ2kzZy1OQjZyYWNBZUR5bW9pc3lZMWo0T1U9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kZ3IwR1RqTmlZM3RuV1JDRG9kVExJM3BTbHpYRzF6ejNHVUZBcnZtbVF6dmRaZVhnWnFhSzk2cnNKdmM5Y1NjVTNmZ1FxZlRqanZiVkZGdWJFMlpVUm5lREFWeFBWSllyOHBJcURZUFhEMFd0SWJ3dHNacjJucjhxbTlXMlg2OWwzTzNGeVhSbXpheDc2Yi02d2ptc0ZrYlZ0RUlDWmdER1lpM21LbXBhWFV1X2FQTkRQR0NBeVBGSUhMZlpCQUplUXNJLW1xV2g2NGJyaWh0d0NuLXhtUT09 |
They wouldn’t let me post this anywhere else so I’m gonna ask here; Just to expand, you know how men will categorize women into different groups for example, platonic friendship, a ‘hoe’ that’s good for a fuck but not a relationship, and wifey material etc… how do you get yourself out of “hoe/hot slut and into wifey? Or is it set in stone and can not change in a man’s mind.
I just wanted to edit here and explain it not trying to generalize, I’m mostly talking about a specific person without going into detail.
Update: I’ve realized how immature and insecure he actually is.

The Simpsons hit its peak mid way through the first ten seasons. And I think it’s because it’s a parody of your typical family. Most episodes were relatable and none were too outlandish to not be somewhat believable.
Then along comes Family Guy. With its over the top humour and ridiculous storylines. The simpsons fell into the trap of trying to stay relevant and keep up with family guy that it lost the charm we all grew to love.
Plus I don’t think it ever topped from when Conan obrian was writing for the show. | r/unpopularopinion | post | r/unpopularopinion | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jT21HbHdjcmRQMnBiV2RXZHBIVHJUcFBNS3djYm54YnpMNUhrMVlJSnRLYkJXdEEyRzFtZUVNeUtZNHVSelU2VnRpTFUtLXlldVdrY25PWHVvRnQ2X0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kb0QtSU5rQXhfbkZwQnYxOG9ka1E0V20ybldDb0t4LUdMYThlRWlWejJ6VE1IWmJqZ1dmek13ZnRUZWRPZVAxcFpUUHFyMFFWd19sZm9xaUN6YmlfYzN1aXpydjQ2Q2luVlJmUk45NTViQ3dNRFhLbFc5NGFEVUJDcXZlRUl3VkhDdDdrTk9sWTdTRUh1MVFJLVMxUGRZc1hHczBhdkxKVTRCazdnTUFlTWhkYVNLMHFKSjZ0ZmNGWHVNRUFhdFR4ZlZFVndiZTNtM0lUX1FyaWR4cXZmUT09 |
I (F18) have been dating my boyfriend (M18) for about 6 months now. I’m super happy with him. Recently my ex whom I dated for around a year has started telling people the stuff we did. We never had sex, but he told people that he fingered me and such. This got to my current boyfriend who got mad at me, saying I lied to him and that he wasn’t special. I didn’t lie, but I didn’t mention it. He also knew I dated my ex for almost a year, I think it’s unrealistic to assume we didn’t do anything whatsoever. For a year, we actually did very little to only go as far as fingering and that too over the clothes. My current boyfriend said we can continue to date but we shouldn’t do anything intimate for a while. I feel like I’m a slut/lost value to him somehow and it makes me feel like he’s grossed out by me. I don’t know if I should stay with him or not. Is he correct in this request?
Edit: he’s asked about it before but I said we weren’t really sexual(true after the first month stage with my ex we stopped because I didn’t like doing sexual stuff we also didnt even makeout ) I did tell him we tried stuff though/that my ex was horny but my current boyfriend thinks that was conniving and bad. He’s also saying that I did stuff with my ex and broke, so I can do that to him too. That really bothers him. | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jc3NrOGNSXzE2WUhpOHU4Nzl6eVdMdHVBV25qdEliVjN6dFhWUHNPVVFGSVEzZTdLTGwwb25kV2VvQWRhZzZRWGxwYzI3bzFnd211VmgtWXRfMVhXeEVUeEltZ1RYZjdlT3JUYk50MWtvWFE9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kZ1pkdmVvSFM4ZlpBT0VCT1lzRmRYYUN2MkFDeF9jOUxhN05mOEpvTG5kUndmcUhaeHNEQXBxZkVIdzVxZ284SEZlYmxZX2VKMzMyRU5KVlgxdmdLOVYyOUgyZFNHNDJPdGhlN0xjbWoydlJOa2dyLWg3MmZ6M2xEZ0VHZjUyVDZxaEhqV2hNUXJvY3dhV256TE41bktOT3hRRF9Yb3BPWDEwaXhEUGkzcWRGYzJYTnBlUGVvRmJENDRBdk1ONE14WmJ4NVBiMllFYnBDajhxeGhUM083QT09 |
I say this to the doomers and the delusional optimists on here.
No this isn't the bottom
No, no one knows where the bottom will be. That's why time in the market always beats timing the market.
No, these things don't happen instantly. The damage this Administration has caused will take months to years to be fully realize. We are still in the very early stages.
No, we won't have negative growth for the first quarter, it's too soon and we have had recessions where we get positive growth for some quarters, as well. Especially in the beginning.
No, businesses having a decent first quarter means there's no recession. Not every business will be affected right away, or even majority.
No, just because you aren't feeling/seeing it in your every day means there will be no Recession.
To prove my point let's look at the 2008 Recession:
- When did the 2008 Recession actually start?
Try December 2007
- When did people start feeling that Recession?
While it depends on the person most will tell you Summer/fall 2008
- When did the Bear market Start?
October 09, 2007
- When did is end?
March 2009, 17 months later.
Even in the 2008 Recession, we had full quarters with positive growth. 2008 Q2 GDP growth was around 2.3%
Also the 2008 Recession had multiple dead cat bounces. Some as high as 25% back up.
So in other words, you all need to calm down.
It's not going to crash overnight, but it also isn't going to be all roses and sunshine either.
This isn't a black swan event like COVID, it's being caused by an Administration with severely bad policies that will catch up to us sooner than later.

I can't pretend to not find it insanely cool but the alternative is every person who think they have the ultimate taste in cars giving me the count dooku expression of superiority.

Drove by my local 9 hole municipal after work and saw 1 car in the parking lot. Booked online for 20 minutes later, drove home and got my clubs. Walked up to the clubhouse and was met by the clubhouse manager. Told me the round was on the house, they just aerated the greens. They didn’t post any notice since they were trying to beat the weather. So today I walked 9 and took my time thinking about my shot execution and not the score. Focused on hitting the greens and nothing other than that. Crazy how not thinking about scoring can actually free up the swing. Felt effortless in distance and consistency. This game is endlessly frustrating so it was nice to feel some hope towards improvement. So if you are like me and trying to go lower all the time, find some punched greens and go swing care free.

Hospitals have to exist to care for sick people as well as emergencies. When they bill people and insurance for services everyone gets upset and thinks they are greedy. But if they bill less then they can’t pay staff and facilities and if they close then there will be nowhere to care for sick people. Same if they just provide free care.
A lot of hospitals are non profit and many even lose money.
Now there are some charges that are really high and outrageous like $50 Advil but this is due to operating expense from running 24/7. If they charged $1 they would not be able to pay overhead. Of course, some hospitals, particularly for profit ones, are greedy. | r/unpopularopinion | post | r/unpopularopinion | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jVWFqdEo0ZHBWeUVSMjlJNkZfMXlYb3hrWU84LVVVc2ZoNzgyNW9pYWx1STZwZXBiNDB3bkFJNTJwNDVWb25ESXVuSHFGVV9QS19fT0dMNGt1ekZIMVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kOUNqaVpqNldUMWd1eUtmSXZhU3Y5bkV2NnNjdUg3WGdFOWU4UklUT2dvbVA0X3dQbUNOb3dXbDFiLVlYaUNjWDZia3VxTm1RVEVQTnFDZE15ZWVEWGJTM3ZwQ3dMRUoxbUVlZXE1anZFX3hXSWlteF9jTy1ialNUcUIzTGJsTWNvMm1hSXBKejkwdU1fM0dZS0gzN3kyRENCWnJIMlVfNV82NVgtSThYOWU3NTBHRGlKdmExVGtYMnB6X0JlR3kz |

Got up at 5, showered, ate breakfast and was out the door at 6 with the wife and kid still asleep. Hit up the local executive nine and paid $8 (a steal in Seattle) to play 9 holes in 45 minutes. Was at work before 7:30, feeling great.

I (27F) got a breast reduction about 1 1/2 years ago. I went from a 34DDD to a 34 C/D. When I met my (31 M) boyfriend he knew me for only a couple months before I went under surgery. When I told him I was getting my reduction his comments were like “you’re gonna have no boobs now” “am I gonna have bigger chest than you” “ugh why are doing it” and just not the most supportive comments. After time has healed, I noticed he’s never complimented on how the girls look or even takes my bra off during sex. So last night I asked “is it my scars” “do you not find me attractive anymore” and he says “im just mad you got a reduction!” I immediately start to cry. I myself also have a hard time adjusting to the new look, not that they’re bad by any means but you know I have scars and sometimes I miss how I looked in certain clothing. Anyways, he tried to take it back and apologize and say “he loves everything about me and how I look” but I just don’t know what to believe. I feel so insecure about how I look now. This is more than just a “I’m sorry I said that” and I don’t know how to move past this body image issue he has made me feel.

I know a lot of people look back on childhood like it's the best most easiest years of someone's life but I feel like this is just rose colored glasses when in reality being a kid sucks.
When you're a kid no one listens to you, they don't value your opinions or what you have to say. You have to follow the rules of others and often don't understand why.
You don't know who you are or who other people sre you have trouble understanding basic things like your own emotions and in my experience everything is more painful when it's the first time and you don't understand it.
Idk like adults have so much more freedom and understanding and a lot more respect. Like that's soooooo much better. I'd take responsibility and having a job over being told ridiculous rules and never having my opinion considered anyday.
There are definitely more but I'm sure you can think of some yourself and I don't want this to be too long. | r/unpopularopinion | post | r/unpopularopinion | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jcmFUOGVobG1DSUJEdnFpdC0wcHpoLV8tVE85UUVGUThOcVYxTF9zclkyWlFqRG9RYnhpRl9aSy1KQ3NHOThQVFJ6dU9wNndKS1RzdS1PY3ZzcFFYdEo2V3NWSjRCZWYwX1hoR1k2U1NOQkU9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kWFhaYU0zMjdnZC02cHdpR0lNWDA5a3ZGTTRnRDd5VlhlbTN2eGQwQ09UeWhUYzR1WFAzVU9mT2RKV0Z0Ml92Tk1HTUJHZGdnMTg4djg4b2tjQjhaRl82bDNuYnhjTDFSVXd3YS1UWU1mcWNCN1hwMTk1d1lvdHBtRmh2a1JocXNwam9nYl9ZdGZCZFd3NjRFQXJWaldFNjVCcjJYUExoS2VXQllUZ1p2anA0PQ== |
When it comes to resumes, the general suggestion is to remove work history and shorten it to one page.
I think that's bullshit because a full resume a few pages of work history shows your growth and progress even if the past jobs aren't relevant to the job you are applying to now.
I'd much rather see a few pages of continuous effort and employment than 1 page of only 2 previous jobs that makes me wonder who you are. | r/unpopularopinion | post | r/unpopularopinion | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jX19aVVhITmJGajR1eGlfQnNfX1JWeFZJUXZrcTVPWUt0UnlFZklPOHZtOG80Ul94ZkRwYURlYVlkRk9FcVBCdkd3SW91bzMwMktGTTNuenlUeG83LWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kYzVfRmFuYzUzT2Y4NGtjaXJzcnlyUmVyRnREQUpwNWxqc0l1dlFRZmgwd1hodS1oSnhEU00yUmhGalUzRVpINmVxQmlQU0wwODZ5aW82cUpEZUowV1NuOFVyemJTQVVfS1U2eWVlaDd6WmY3bl9mRThLRjBKWVpNUnlQVDBOSUQ0MDhVQ1B0ajlHSlJIUHcwc3luZElTY0J0MFFybjVBUWhnYWwyQWYtdDZYQk1VaFNlZUhJM1JSLU1NMXFEbG9hNFlWajBqT3EzVFlGOEh2eHhlbGxldz09 |

For me it is Victoria Ratliff. She is annoying. She is all about money and comfort. I wonder if she cares about anyone more than her own perfumes and tablets. It took me a moment to notice that her way of talking with and without drugs is slightly different. This is one of those characters which I didn't like till the end but is very well acted (by Parker Posey).

I wax monthly but that means there’s always that last week and a half before I wax again that longer leg hair is visible. Always trying to cover up like crazy during that time.
Whether you’re a man or a woman, do you notice leg hair on a woman and what do u think?

I’ve been with my partner for 2 years. Very early on, she told me that she was allergic to strawberries. Strawberries are my favorite fruit— like, genuinely one of the few foods I both loved and could rely on when I was anxious and struggling to eat.
Long story short, she told me that she’s allergic and it could be dangerous if I ate them and then kissed her. So I stopped, immediately and completely. I cut out strawberries, anything strawberry flavoured, even things like strawberry gum and candy, just to be safe. I didn’t question it because when someone says they have an allergy, you take that seriously.
I just found out recently that she isn’t actually allergic to them, like at all. She just doesn’t like them. She didn’t want me to eat them before kissing her because she *simply* doesn’t like the taste.
I know they’re just strawberries, and I know this might seem small to some people, but it doesn’t *feel* small to me. It feels like I made a real sacrifice, no matter how minor it might seem, out of care and concern. And she let me believe that for 2 whole years. She knows how much I love strawberries. I don’t think I could ever imagine asking someone to give up something they loved just because I didn’t like it, let alone lying to get them to do it.
Didn’t she ever sit there and feel even a little bad watching me crave strawberries and not eat them because of what **she** said?
I just find it so selfish and odd.

Update: thank you for all the advice & time you took to respond! My partner has decided he’s going to suck it up and go to the wedding (thank goodness because this was a dealbreaker for me)
To answer a couple questions:
-he was more than happy to be a part of the rest of the trip, just wanted me to attend the wedding on my own while he explored the island or did something differently that day—now he’ll be attending the wedding. It’s super important to me so thankfully he has changed his mind
-He was the one who wanted me to make a post on Reddit
-I wrote out a whole long descriptive post but this reddit page said I was breaking rules whenever I tried to post it so I had to ask chat gpt to help rewrite it to be approved with this Reddit’s rules.
There was probably more questions but that’s all I can think of now, thanks everyone xx
————
I (27F) am American, and my fiancé (31M) is Australian. We met when I moved to Australia and haven’t been to the U.S. together since we got together.
My best friend is getting married in 2026 in St. Thomas. We’ve been planning a 3-week trip to the U.S. around it—Vegas, Hawaii, introducing him to my friends and family, and then attending the wedding together. It’s going to be a small destination wedding: mostly close friends and family, with a ceremony and reception at an Airbnb where we might also stay.
A few days ago, my friend let me know I’ll be her maid of honor/bridesmaid. I’m so honored and excited. But when I told my fiancé, everything changed. He now says he no longer wants to go. He said he was looking forward to the trip until he found out I’d be in the wedding, and now he feels anxious about being alone during the ceremony and doesn’t want to attend at all.
I recognize that social anxiety is real and that this situation might feel overwhelming for him, but this wedding is incredibly important to me. It’s also when I planned to introduce him to so many people who’ve never met him. I feel hurt and disappointed. I want to support him, but I also feel like he’s being unfair by backing out completely.
We’re clashing emotionally—he’s feeling overwhelmed, and I’m feeling heartbroken. How do we move forward from this? Is there a way to compromise so we both feel supported? | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jbHFvZUNXQVZxRjRRZl9NVFZnYnJjUWQwTUk0VzhPUUVPTERpLUFiMVFOdlVtU1AtWGQwT0dqeEI5WW5vT0hpa0xWSlJmNzM1R1RDZkxPYnNUdlF6VHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5ka19NbEZKVFVRS1N3RWZhdkk3dmtLQTFRRGJLbTFxVkFua2x4Yms5TERydUlxWC1JZHkwc25JZGtWSWNxR3pOS3dCbkFBZjlpN21oeWJKdUxIaC15TDhOa0JxTE1EY2ptTmJWMmo5dlZQMjBWVERWUHp3cFdBUzg4TlZsQks1anB5MldSaExobWVHRU4tdFFTNXkteDloZkpTWjlzNUJ3OXNXdjlOeFplNW9PWUp4cFdudkpkTEROT0pZS1F2OU4wc2pzZnFObTRWblFHMWExcVNCd29RUT09 |
With the recent growth of r/PowerScaling and the addition of new moderators, I want to make a formal announcement addressing some concerns.
We will mainly be discussing four rules:
---
• Rule #1: Post Format/Specifications.
> Clearly specify the character/franchise/feats/matchups you are discussing in your post:
> Character X (Series/Verse Name).
> Character Y (Series/Verse Name).
> Description/rules of the fight.
Now, addressing a common question:
> Do we have to write the series/verse name for every single character in the post?
Answer: Yes, as reflected in the result of [this poll](https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerScaling/s/UltF2W4bqT) it doesn't matter how many characters your post contains you have to name them all however it isn't compulsory to name their verses that's something up to you.
If your post does not follow the post format, it may be at risk of removal.
Additionally, if the OP does not specify any battle conditions, the fight will take place under [standard Battle assumptions.](https://character-level.fandom.com/wiki/Standard_Battle_Assumptions).
Keep in mind that the OP can set any battle conditions they choose.
---
• Rule #2: Banned Topics/Formats.
> Posts with the following banned topics/formats are not allowed:
>1. "Character/verse are now scaled by...".
>2. "Forget powerscaling... who is...?".
>3. Posts complaining about powerscaling (including "hating on wank" and complaints against specific series fandoms).
>4. All shitposts/agendas (e.g., "Weak character actually solos fiction").
Clarification:
Posts falling under #1, #2, and #3 are not allowed even during weekends.
Only shitposting/meme posting is allowed on weekends and refrain from reposting any of the top 20 most popular posts as well as reposting any post from the past 7 days.
Edit: For the love of God stop doing posts related to Gorillas it's not funny anymore...
---
• Rule #3: Common Courtesy.
> All scaling is interpretation based so don’t overtly harass others for a difference of opinion. Clowning is fine and banter is fine but don’t cross lines into just being an asshole. It's common to lose your cool in arguments/debates but don't take it too far. No hate/discrimination towards a specific minority, race, religion, no false claims regarding p*dophilia and no calling someone fascist.
It's normal to lose your cool during arguments/debates, but don’t take it too far.
As the rule states we don't endorse any usage of the r-word, n-word, homophobia, falsely accusing someone of being a p*do, racism, discrimination based on minority status, race, or religion, calling someone a fascist and do try to keep away from politics if possible. Now, depending on the context and whether it’s directed at a fictional character or a real person (including individuals outside the subreddit) it might be allowed but I suggest not taking that chance and writing your replies without any usage of said words(since reddit doesn't like it either).
-------
> Q: What happens if someone violates this rule?
Answer:
Depending on the context and severity, your reply will be removed and you will be mod-noted for violating Rule #3.
After three violations, you will be warned and temporarily muted for 1 day.
If violations continue, you will be banned for 1 day, then 3 days, and then permanently.
*IMPORTANT: If the moderators deem your comment ban-worthy, even a single violation can result in a permanent ban*.
> Q: What insults are deemed "okay"?
Answer:
It’s recommended not to insult anyone at all.
However, if you lose your cool, words like "idiot" or "stupid" are somewhat acceptable.
If these comments are reported, they might be removed, but you won't get mod-noted.
You are allowed to criticize someone, banter with them, or clown on their takes — but keep it focused on their arguments, not personal attacks (avoid committing ad hominem).
~~Also calling Saiyans monkeys are allowed just don't say that to a non fictional character~~.
Q: What are some unacceptable replies?
Answer:
Replying with phrases like "That's retarded" or telling someone to "end their life" or "commit suicide" is deemed inappropriate. It doesn't matter whether it's "common knowledge" that they are wrong or if you meant it as a joke—no one is laughing. Telling someone to end their life without knowing their mental state is not a joke.
Your replies should add value to the conversation. You need to properly address their question(s) or logic and refute it if possible. Don't just reply with something like "That's stupid," "That's retarded," or "It's common sense that you're wrong." If reported, those comments will be removed or filtered. Whether you receive a mod note depends on the content of your comment.
TL;DR: As long as your reply contains genuine criticism, avoids severe insults, and does not include any of the explicitly banned words, it will likely be considered acceptable and please for the love of God don't say something like 'That's retarded' without any explanation as to why it's "retarded". That's getting removed.
-----
Finally,
Rule #5: No Excessive NSFW Content
> Do not use NSFW images when a SFW (Safe For Work) image would suffice and is reasonably available.
Clarification: Refrain from posting NSFW images, especially those involving gore. Depending on what you post and how often you violate this rule, you may be banned. | r/powerscaling | post | r/PowerScaling | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jZHNoVE1VYTJhYlZQMENMbGpwUGFWQmt4aUhZR0kwR19BdnZmdEdUTjNscW9mWDVDRk5tWnFqdUFvZC0xd2dIZ1dabEhxM05wVENZclF0SnMwNWVhNWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kTGlnVy1mRzVJcmZjY2VqSE41T0JRZE5LM19ENGUydXN5N0czN2tOb0tKVXlHTUltcHBsT3dFa3pKTXlKSVdEMGo2Tk1hQnVnenVBNkl3NW54ZFdKR1BCZWRya256WG9ZRlFRUUgySFNOejRtMjNwYnlzY2ktaUN1NDRlZG5nQWJqY1JaZVZad1ZRVUd6RUQya1VTWkNJTS1EdHJ0YUZ0azhTZ19TQzhMcEplUEVmc2VIdGY5N3JzUnUzU3BUS1Mx |
I work from home most of the time, and my girlfriend and I live together. We’ve moved into a three-bedroom flat, and the smallest room has been set up as my office. Before we moved in, we agreed the office would be my space, and I’d be the one responsible for cleaning and tidying it.
I do keep it clean—I dust and hoover regularly—but my desk can look a bit messy because I have work papers and notes spread out for meetings and stuff. It’s nothing like mugs or plates etc, just work things.
Lately, my girlfriend’s started going into the office and tidying up my desk, moving my papers around. I’ve asked her to stop because I leave things out in a specific way so I know where everything is. When she moves stuff, it throws me off completely.
She said she doesn’t like it looking messy and that I should tidy it, but I told her she doesn’t even need to be in the office, so she wouldn’t see the desk anyway.
She said that’s not the point and that I should keep it tidier, but I reminded her that we’d agreed the office was mine to manage. She thinks I should be listening to her and tidying it to her standards, but I just told her again to stop touching my stuff.
How would you handle this?
Tl;dr my girlfriend keeps moving things in my office to tidy it up and isn't listening when I keep telling her to stop. | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jemNuakl6bnBiM05PRWo1Z094bnNCVlpCdGNOQnF5ZkFNcnY3NUdwbEFoTGVSXzVxSHpZUThnMWM4a01NWnBWWm5odjR2ZUpxcnJZdkF5cUlTUXd1eE1jUFRiaXZVazV0RmZSTjdIcUpYdEk9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kZFdXSTlTN0hQd0NmWUhGODJFN2c0dmpYdzhNQ3N6emU5bjNUSnU1cGpuWndydUVQVVNWTmVvQ0NxUHBkU2dpeS0zN1ZGZElPa19MZE84RVN1eExheU5GaUlBNXBMXzN4bjY5SWVIMnlQdG1yeFl2Q0podFptbW12ZHVKS3kycFN5eHNyNkVzalF0Ty1mMGpSb21JZ00taEJNZ0tQVUFrcjFJR2pHR2pDZ1EzTlFucW9FOGlsc09FS05VYU1RcUVNMVowUnFnczFERVpvd1lHd2xhck1sdz09 |

Writers often work in species and demographics in their works as a metaphor for real world racism and oppression. Sometimes though it doesn’t work.
The Disney channel movie zombies was a metaphor for segregation with the zombies as the oppressed minorities. Except the zombies were mutant cannibals created from a chemical spill very recently, and are still a danger unless they wear watches that stop their zombie blood lust. Seems perfectly logical to keep them separate from humans and fear them.
I’ve always felt like the argument in the x-men comics and movies about mass surveying and incarcerating mutants or forcing them to get cured is massively outweighed by the several stories of people’s mutant powers awakening and they kill everything. Mutant powers are a complete dice roll and some of them are walking nukes or instantly kill all life near them with no control over it. | r/topcharactertropes | post | r/TopCharacterTropes | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jcW5IZWdhTmFTUnJ3SkhsWU5lVXd2RXR3eE9USS1nSUNna3NheS1nV2hETUVqak9yUjNzc1M4YkxYX1BvSS1ycHlfUFluLXhtWnJxLUZ3NTFhbHR0ek94RE51TWRQYjhhSUZiV2JzQUctVE09 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kWlluT0xTYUtmYlg3ZXkzVUlocFMzeUY3N3p1emk5SVZlUVZqeFdndERWazgyQkJtWU1uMUNCRUlPd0JaeFh3VjZreS1JRkNzSVMtTzIwc1ZtY3RYcFR3dXRvdDB3aHRqU1E0TU1zMzBmTkNBOW85aE5taThHYVJxZURXNmdQYV9RNjRxVnN2Wm5GWlJxQ204dHBNRTczTFo1V0tTSUV5XzY0S01Zb1hacW83Rkg1eV83V09VZnJwXzhOSDRteGoxMjJEMTFVdThCNnBNZUJnYnFRclUzQT09 |

I recently spent some time abroad. It had been a couple of years since I left Italy for more than a quick trip, and wow — I was brutally reminded of how almost impossible it is to live without a bidet.
• Wiping your ass with just toilet paper (even with wet wipes) is hell. It never really feels clean.
• If something sexy comes up and you don’t have time for a full shower, there's no way to just freshen up quickly.
• Small kids who can’t reach the sink have no easy place to clean themselves.
• Want to wash your feet? Enjoy climbing into the tub or shower for the fifth time in a day.
Honestly, it feels like a low-quality way of living for something that costs next to nothing to install. One extra fixture. That's all.
I don’t get how it’s not standard everywhere by now.
EDIT 1: I admit the whole 'five times a day' thing was a bit of an unnecessary and unrealistic exaggeration.
EDIT 2: Obviously, I’m referring to countries without major water supply issues — or at least to big cities.
EDIT 3: A lot of people here seem to think a bidet is used to blast shit straight off your ass — which is a wild idea.

I've used grindr in the past and the amount of hookup offers I got was insane😳. I noticed on apps like Tinder and Hinge, dates/hangouts are way more encouraged. So, is there a hookup app or do people just use tinder?

I am just utterly devastated. I was walking back home when I found my girlfriend's parents searching for me, telling me that she doesn’t deserve me and that I shouldn’t let her into my home if she comes. Utterly confused, I asked what had happened, and they just said, *“Ask her.”*
I rushed home and started texting her, trying to understand why her parents had come to my house saying such things. She didn’t answer at first—she said she would talk to me later, and I respected that. Almost falling asleep, she texted to see if I was awake, and I replied that I was. That’s when she told me what happened.
A coworker who had been driving her home from work (since her car isn't working right) suddenly grabbed her and kissed her. She accepted the kiss—French kiss, even—and her mom saw it. They rushed to tell me, but I was out on a walk (we live just two blocks away). She says she’s deeply sorry for it, that she doesn’t understand what came over her or why she didn’t push the guy away in that moment. She says she can never make up for it, and that she’s overwhelmed with shame and that she has never done something like this to me before.
I almost fainted hearing that. She is my first relationship, and we were just a few months away from our third anniversary—my high school sweetheart, she never gave me any reasons to not trust her, I really wanted to marry her one day. I even gave her a promise ring. But right now, I have no idea what to do next.
I spoke with some family members during the night, and obviously, they told me I should break up with her. That feels like the obvious answer… but my heart still can’t believe this is truly over. I told her I couldn’t break up over a phone call—I wouldn’t get proper closure. So I asked to meet tomorrow in a public place to discuss everything, and most likely, to break up.
I don’t have any harsh feelings toward her. I’m not even sure if she’s telling the truth about not feeling anything for this guy, or if she’s lying. I just want to understand why. My heart hurts tremendously, and I haven’t been able to sleep all night.
But I still love her. Still, I know it wouldn’t be fair to myself to just accept something like this. I’m just broken.
What would you do in this situation?

The actors strike of 2023 absolutely tanked the entertainment industry. I mean we now have most series seasons lasting 8-15 episodes where as before we’d have at least 20.

Update:
Hi everyone, just a short, and likely the only, update. We met and had an honest conversation. A lot will need to change before things can return to normal between us, but some important steps have already been taken by her. We have also decided to try couples counseling.
Our children remain the top priority for both of us. Even if we ultimately fail as a couple, we hope to succeed as parents.
Some comments suggested that we have created a harmful environment for our children. They were difficult to read but I understand they came from a place of objectivity, and I appreciate that perspective. I just want to clarify that the kids have never been exposed to any of the issues between us; we have always maintained a respectful and civil relationship in their presence.
Thank you all for your comments.

Edit: We have 50/50 ownership of the house. About six months after I lost my job, I found stable employment. I have now been gainfully employed for the past 2 years and earn a decent income as a researcher. My wife earns roughly the same as I do, but I cover all the bills and the mortgage, while we live on her income. I have never withheld anything from my family, nor would I ever consider asking her to leave—unless she were to cheat on me or harm our children.

We are married for 4 years, together for 10. We have two kids. We both work primarily from home.
Two years ago, I lost my job. A couple of months later, during a heated argument, I left the house to cool off. When I returned about an hour later and went into a room, my wife barged in. I asked her to knock, and she said:
“This is my house. If you don't like it, get the f out.”
Then she removed her rings and threw them at me. I was flabbergasted.
I went for a long walk and seriously considered leaving, but ultimately decided to stay for the kids. I came back home, we did not talk to each other a few days, but over time, our relationship stabilized. I brought this incident up multiple times, told her how deeply it hurt me, especially since I was in a very vulnerable place after losing my job. She never apologized. I made it clear: "If you ever tell me to get out again, I will leave.”
Fast forward to a few days ago:
We had another heated argument. She told me to "shut up" and said she did not want to hear my voice. I kept talking and finished what I was saying. She started replying but I repeated her words back:
"Shut up. I don’t want to hear your voice."
She told me, very clearly, the following: "This is my house. If you don't like it, you can leave.”
That was it for me. I reminded her, “I warned you. You do not get to kick me out again.” I packed a small bag—passport, documents, clothes, laptop, phone—and left.
As I was leaving, she opened the door and behind me and said: "If you're leaving, take your rings with you!”
She threw them on the ground.I turned my head but the door was closed. I was wearing my ring up until that point, so I took it off, left it near the door, and walked away.
An hour later, she texted:
"I didn’t mean ‘leave home’; I meant leave my sight. I’m sorry you took it that way. I feel lonely at home without you. You mean way more than this to me. I love you.”
I called her right after receiving the text. She answered but sounded surprised. I asked why. She said, “I’m in a meeting.” I said “Okay then,” and hung up. She did not follow up.
Later that evening she messaged asking if I had gone to another city (where I work once a week). I ignored it. An hour later, she followed up again, asking if I was okay, and called. I declined the call and texted:
"I didn’t travel to the other city. I’m still here.”
She asked why I rejected the call. I responded: “I didn’t want to talk.” she replied with "ok".
That night, she sent three messages about the kids’ carpooling. The last one said she had sorted it. I saw them around midnight after already it has been resolved, and did not reply.
Next morning (18 hours after the fight) she texted me: "I told the kids you went to the other city for work. Please be in touch with them."
I replied, saying: “I'll talk to them today.”
That was the last time we communicated. She does not know where I am. I’ve been texting the kids daily.
TL;DR:
My wife told me to get out of her house two years ago during a fight. I stayed for the kids but made it clear if she said something like that again, I would leave. A few days ago, it happened again. So I left.

How can this relationship be salvaged, or can it even be salvaged? Did I do something wrong and let my feelings get better of me?

The U.S. economy contracted in the first three months of 2025, fueling recession fears at the start of President Donald Trump’s second term in office as he wages a potentially costly trade war.
Gross domestic product, a sum of all the goods and services produced from January through March, fell at a 0.3% annualized pace, according to a Commerce Department report Wednesday adjusted for seasonal factors and inflation.
Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for a gain of 0.4% after GDP rose by 2.4% in the fourth quarter of 2024. However, over the past day or so some Wall Street economists changed their outlook to negative growth, largely fueled by an unexpected rise in imports as companies and consumers sought to get ahead of the Trump tariffs implemented in early April. Imports subtract from GDP.

i’m preparing to break up with my fiancé (together for 5 years, engaged for 6 months) due to his hidden porn addiction and paying 100s and thousands of dollars on WebCam girls while he’s paycheck to paycheck and I’ve been helping him out with the bills. This is the final straw and my trust is completely broken as well as my attraction to him for him doing this to me while actively planning a wedding. We struggled with this in the past and he said that he would never do it again, and I actually believed he changed once he made the decision to propose to me and I thought that would make things more serious to him, but clearly it’s not. he is begging me to let him finally get help through therapy for his addiction, but I just don’t want to be around for that and I don’t honestly believe that it will really work. I sympathize to some extent if he is struggling with an addiction, but my trust is just completely broken and I don’t look at him the same.
we currently live together with two cats, and both of our parents live about five minutes away. I could go stay with them but I’m not sure where I should break up with my fiancé.
a few times it’s been mentioned so far after the discovery (2 days ago) he’s ran over to a kitchen knife and said he was gonna slit his wrist. I stopped him in time. I wasn’t sure if he would actually do it or not but he’s also shown signs of wanting to commit suicide and he is continuously begging me and saying that I can’t leave him and he loses me he lose everything.
i’m really concerned about his well-being, but also at the end of the day mine too and my cats. do you think I should break up with him somewhere like a parking lot and then have my bags packed already so that I could go straight to my parents or call his parents 911 if he is freaking out in the car or also just to give his parents a heads up?
I want to avoid breaking up with him at our shared house due to the fact that I think he would cause a scene and I don’t want a scene for neighbors and I especially don’t want to be in a house where he’s threatening suicide.
tl;dr: i’m breaking up with my fiancé of five years, and I’m not sure where to fully cut the cord whether it’s in public or around other people due to my suspicion that he’ll blow up and possibly commit suicide with his threats | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jblpOTDR3V2tORl8wMnF5Y0g2cDFEa20xZjdNQWlNU2xwcGVNdjRYQnBZZXpyUkJ2bVowckg1NWk1NEhFbW41a3JJNVU4TWdHX3dmbFlLNzg5MGlXa3N2R2FHTmhRTDV1Q3lxbFM0SkRJLUk9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kcVVSOWszelY2cTNuUUFYRk1wdjlUYlFhVTZ4azRkS2dxa0hZZFpQMlpHaUJvWnE1UUpmZkMzVXViN3lFT0VueXV2VzgwYVRvODlaeU1FVEcxZ2hLTWQ1U1I3bkRFRFVyTHNwMnoyZlBBQmZqVzNtakVnVFQ4VEY2SmM1cElWZkg5YUFxVDhzWEk1TERTTFJKQmtLOFNVZFZheGNKSmh3MDlvY2gwR1AzSG5NYjZzeWxGaXo4LTBObnFtQk9uams0M1VjcVEtVTBpRXlOSkFHN2RldkJ3Zz09 |

So, my sister is in elementary school, yesterday was her field day.
Parents or guardians were invited to chaperone. My mom had work, so she couldn’t make it and asked me to go instead. I agreed of course because anything to skip school and also I did want to supervise just in case.
So, I was chaperoning. Everything was fine for the first few hours, she was having fun, I was having fun watching her.
They finished all the competitive games, and we were finally at the last 3 activities which were just for fun and entertainment. The first one was a ‘slip-&-slide’ which is basically a makeshift water slide. They lay a tarp on top of a hill and soak it with water and soap to slide down.
So, I help her change into her swimsuit, cool. Everything is good. Boys are shirtless and are wearing trunks. This information sounds worthless right now but just keep this in mind. Keep in mind this swimsuit is a one piece, completely age appropriate swimsuit.
We exited the bathroom and headed outside, hand in hand. There was a long line at the front and there was a female teacher standing there. Okay, I didn’t think much of it. Maybe they were checking for cuts or blisters.
Eventually, me and my sister get to the front of the line. The teacher looks at my sister up and down very obviously, and then says “You need to put on shorts over your swimsuit.” I had shorts packed, but this rule seemed unfair to me. So I asked her why?
She gave me a vague beat around the bush answer, something like it was the rules. I told her that was completely unfair and it made no sense at to how the boys were allowed shirtless with legs showing but the girls had to cover up.
So I asked her what we could do… she said verbatim “She needs to put on shorts or she cannot slide.” I told her that was completely unfair and quite strange. I asked why the boys were allowed shirtless but the girls needed to cover up? The swimsuit was completely age appropriate and showed barely any skin.
She rolled her eyes at me, and then turned around. I tried to grab her attention again but she walked away and grabbed the principal. He came to me and I told him our issue, and he said the exact same thing. Wear the shorts or she couldn’t slide.
At this point, I was pretty pissed. No one had offered me a valid explanation. So I grabbed my sisters hand and turned around and left. She was upset obviously but I told her I would just take her to a water park instead.
When my mom got home from work, I told her what happened and she was equally as pissed. My sister stayed home from school today because my mom was sent a passive-aggressive email from the principal, basically saying it’s not hard to comply with school rules and I was being overly hostile.
Maybe I was overreacting, but I just found that rule very unfair and quite strange?? Elementary school and these girls are already being taught to cover up, while the boys are allowed to be shirtless. | r/amioverreacting | post | r/AmIOverreacting | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jNUtPamx2UEo0MHZUdEpKX2xMdHNReDI0OHE1OGc3eGpPT09NRTdaVFlRM1p2NWJKeHlwVWd0YWFTNFphYUV4TWJjdk5FOERaeVFrX09CS2QzM19lYWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kYTkxQklsSGxLRm82ak5RMUxWRXNSUnVVZHNsZDU5LURic0dDNEpOSHIxc1VZNjN3SHZZSWs2Q3dyN285dnROc25DVEg3TU1Eb295bExTeEs0c0NVTWlYQ3BBcDljVXd4SGhFZWRLNjNqMWFOamI1Q2h3SU1DMUlUWDFrenFSa1F3QlRQTGV1ZkxSYXJmZXJUSlQ5YWRzVFdKbXlxSnFGdEJkU0xSWXN1X2pMaUNhN2JTMElGLWhJTHdsRm5RdnBYb2JOVUVoOTNyUk1fVFJ2QTU1MlFFQT09 |
My wife likes to play par 3 and executive courses with her girlfriends and a couple drinks. She came home and showed me her scorecard. Has a little bit of everything. Starts off with an asterisk double, a par, bad, 3 putt, :(, lost ball, back-to-back :(, and caps it off with a wrong hole (which I guess she got par on). | r/golf | post | r/golf | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jY01fNGEzUWk0LUNRZG8xanl2TEljczNGWUg3bV92RXZhNGo2ZGxseFBaWjB5OHdBVXMzaW1xZFNINFdMTlUzODJNRktwaVJSeDNoSzhmejhBY0dJQ0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kWkExUlFwN2ZadjhqSExGM0ZETG95OVcxSjNCZjV3QzZXZTdfR2F3c2hQMFY0aG0tUEIzRF9LUU41dWo0SHdJdnRkTGFsQWJhSVcxWDQ2N29pUnFINVc4NW5qTXBLNEF4MDZkQ3VUQzhZWlRKZTRIOU9WdUc2czA2Rm5VTGFrbmtId3RFdEJYWS1QeGJpR25GR1ZvT05ndl9rUm0xMGt6TFdUaEs3aUViOUc3YXpkSHJyaG42UTl5bHd0bkpfR3lw |
Hello everyone, I didn't expect my post to do as well as it did so here's an update. She did in fact pay me the full £200 that it costs to get my switch back. We're never talking again, which I think is a good thing and I blocked her after taking the screenshots. Thank you all so much for the advice and support, I really do appriciate it. | r/amioverreacting | post | r/AmIOverreacting | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jbG01S1BvckNUM3RrSjFxRWN0ekY5b0ZUOGdwdWVjVlUxcnBURnYySlFSZlg4dWVlOHVjTHVlR0N3dG9YenYxLTZlU3JlYmhtOThfQ2JHRGFTN1YyOXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kRWJaUnRuUEp2blIwdXpIbTZQLThZaDFxVmcxV0JFX0FKdUZWak8wQUtzdzk1ZEwwaEMtSC1TQUh4T2VPMkRHOENyVU9rZllVMGtqaHZvVUQ1QzI2UXpTbm5oWHZzZG0tZnIzYkhPZm5fRjFic0YwbnRoNWo3aHJXT3k0VmNabEZJUUhseGVGVkw2eU9NNFNuUXZDNmE3bE9JblVDSzVVRFZySlJORXV4Mk5YaDgzaFk4dWdTaFpZWEZYc3o2Tks3Y1cyTV9pRW96QkhQeWVoV0hFMkE4UT09 |
Last week I pulled off what can only be described as elite level precision.
I was about 10 yards off the green after a good rain, ground was nice and soft. Went for a big flop shot, and instead of the ball, I launched a divot the size of a Alladin’s magic carpet into the air. The thing took off, smacked the pin, and dropped right in.
I just laughed and look at my buddy and said “well right idea, wrong execution”
Ball went about 6 yards lol. | r/golf | post | r/golf | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jNlo4aEpJT0RqSUJES2UwQWxCOTBYbUdCV1BxSnE5em50dTE5cXRBcDh6cDFNRUcyQzdlbkg4bzU3WU84dng2d0lkZjBWdTVnTzcxQjdIdmRxVGo4M2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kWmlZc0tSTk41QnhVQXNWUThXaFlaaWwwcGx3aUJjUktpSDUtZjBrRGhicnJXUXd5cjlmeDFZR2FsdnRXYkxvR2FVWTV5LThQMFIyNmhhNUt4NzlZQzA5TWpPeEc0dktsdUNhTVc5M052eW1nbU9PZEJhek11aExkZUlweVJKVUZfcVJtbDNPUk1WNzYxUnpFeldqaDIyTi1ZUVp1MVFWWHpqejlpWU1qelBUVHlvU3FZMktPWl85NFVRRGF4VHJv |

Background: Been hitting at a driving range for a couple years before deciding to take golf up as a legitimate hobby.
Got a used set of clubs (King Cobra IT'S with an Odyssey putter) for $40, a $60 bag that matches the car (I like orange, judge me) and $50 glove/balls.
Today is my 6th time on a course, playing 9 holes first thing is a good time.
I'm competitive, but purposefully haven't been keeping track of score. Don't want to get inside my own head and all that, want to just make good contact and learn what's happening. Not trying for power really. Usually will (as long as no one is around, Like today) hit two balls, play my best one (or both if they are good) and drop a few because *I need the reps*. Strictly just NEED practice, right.
So here I go, 6th hole. Par 4, 355.
Beauty (for me) one, right down the middle, I dunno, 210 in the air? Hit another, lands 10 feet from it. Thrilled.
Walk up with a 5i and, letting the club do the work land it within...11ft??
ON THE GREEN IN 2?!?! DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!?!!!?
I 2 putt for my first LEGITIMATE par!!!
I'm sitting on the bench at 7 typing this out.
This is a great freaking game, guys.

There’s something about lying down on a nice warm pillow that’s just so cozy.
I’ve seen my friends flipping their pillows all night and I’m just so confused, why would you want it cold especially since it warms up in like two seconds anyway. Just leave it warm, it’s better.

Edit: Thanks for telling me I'm not overreacting this was what I needed to actually try to contact the cops.
Hi. This is my first post, because I need people to tell me what to think right now. My bf and I have been dating for a little over 6 months, and we have both been really busy with work and his dad has recently been sick so we haven't gotten to see each other as often these last 5-6 weeks. So about a month ago we decided to plan a vacation during a national holiday that is going on right now. We both are early in our careers and don't make much but we decided to use a bit of savings and fly to a nearby country and have a beach vacation, stay in some hotels, swim and the lot. We've both been so excited for this trip. He's planned most of the general stuff, which days and times we should fly, he booked all the hotels ( we were going to go back and forth between some islands), and messaging me almost every day this week with weather updates and things we could do. I have been super busy with work but cut out some time earlier this week to make a more in depth schedule so we could make the most out of our vacation and to book some stuff for us to do to ensure we would have tickets. It was all going perfectly, we were both clearly excited and had spent a good amount of money. I know he already spent at least $1000 booking stuff, so he was very invested. Plus he is the one who initially came up with the plan and invited me.
Here's where the story turns. (Keep in mind our flight is at 9:10 this morning , the 30th, so we had loose plans to meet near my street and get a taxi at 7:30) Yesterday the 29th I have wifi issues at my apartment, so I don't get a "good morning" message. (When we first started dating I kind of found these a bit annoying but I've grown to love them so much, and I know it means a lot to him that I say good-morning back so i try my best to respond within a few hours) So I go to a coffee shop and see that he hasn't messaged me, which I find a little weird but I take the opportunity to be the one to say good-morning first (something I very rarely get to do since he works a 9-5 and I'm remote) and I get to work on my latest project and don't think too much of it. Then a little later I send him the latest ideas for our trip and ask if hes bringing any nicer clothes if we want to do a slightly fancier dinner one night. No response. This man is always ALWAYS on his phone, he responds so fast sometimes it gives me whiplash and its been hours and... nothing. But I know hes at work and I feel a little crazy for even thinking anything of it. I accidentally leave him for hours sometimes because I'm not as attached to my phone so its not a big deal if he doesn't respond quickly, but it is weird for him.
A few hours later I send him a booking confirmation. No response. I finish my work and go home. Then 5:30 rolls around, and I know he should be off work. I message him again and no response. An hour later I message again because I'm getting worried he isn't messaging back the night before our flight. No response. I call him a couple times and he doesn't pick up so by 7/7:30 I'm stressing out, and I walk over to his apartment (a 5 min walk from mine). His bike is outside his door but I knock for 20ish min, and NO RESPONSE. I'm trying to come up with excuses. Maybe he had to work super late? He's at dinner? His phone is dead or broken? I go home and just pack and go to sleep.
This morning still nothing. We planned to leave at 7:30, so I get ready as I would have and try calling him a few times. At 7:30 I go out to the street corner where we normally have met before and wait. To get to the airport in time to check in we have to leave by 8:00 at the absolute latest. I message and call him the whole time and NOTHING. At 8:01 I head to his apartment again. I'm pounding on the door, calling him, there is nothing, no response. His shoes are there that I can see, his bike outside unmoved from the day before. We have missed our flight, so I request a refund on the site while literally sitting against his door. (I miraculously got the refund BTW) and I cancel any bookings I made, all of which went through. So I'm super sad about missing our vacation but I wan to emphasize that I'm not mad about the money, I was able to get it back. I'm scared at this point.
He's been the perfect boyfriend, he brought flowers to my place when I got sick, he is always on time to pick me up for our dates, he plans things for us, we've never fought, I don't even think I've ever seen him annoyed with me, and I'm super annoying. The last time a saw him ( The 24th?) His last words to me were "I love you" like 3 times, and then when I left me messaged that he "loved being with me" and then later I got a goodnight message.
Cut to today and suddenly its radio silence. Nothing. I'm crying at this point and accept that he's probably not home or I would have hear him so I go home and just cry and get pizza and wine and message him approx. 100000000 times, and try to call and NOTHING.
I haven't met his family yet so I don't have their contacts, I've met a couple of his friends and workmates in passing but didn't think to get any of their numbers, why would I? I know the buildings where he works but not where his office is or the name of the company (its not my native language and names are really hard for me to remember so he might have told me but I forgot if he did), My point is that I have no way of contacting him. If he is in the hospital or something no one is going to think to call me.
It's the evening of the 30th as I'm tying this. I recently got back from his apartment again and his bike hasn't moved. I taped a message to his door to call me, and my contact info for anyone who goes to his apartment in case someone else might know what happened. I can't think of anything else to do and I'm terrified and crying constantly thinking the worst.
I'm trying to think of what could possibly be happening. He takes his bike everywhere but its outside his apartment unmoved. He spent a lot of money on tickets for this trip and then didn't show. Where I live you need your phone to use taxis and metros and such, and there are charging ports and repair shops everywhere so even if his phone died the 29th or broke it would be fine by now. My best idea is that there was some sort of family emergency? maybe with his dad who is sick, that he had to go early on the 29th to see them and after he got there he lost his phone and has been super crazy with family stuff that he hasn't had the bandwidth to go get a new phone. He also just has my contact saved and doesn't have my number memorized (we use wechat), so he wouldnt be able to contact me on another phone.
I've cried more today then in the past year. Please tell me other things I can try, or other excuses for why he isn't responding and didn't go on the trip. I'm so scared. When I was at his apartment door tonight all I could think is "what if he fell and hit his head and hes on the other side of this door dead?", but I'm not about to go full crazy and call the cops. Though I'm considering it at this point. Because the image wont leave my head and something is wrong I can feel it.

President Trump said the current stock market performance is Biden’s fault, not his. He said the tariffs will kick in soon as companies start moving back to the US, which will boost the economy. But he blamed Biden for the poor economic numbers. Trump urged patience and promised that when the economy recovers, it will be booming like never before. | r/stocks | post | r/stocks | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jNmVlZURkcjVGZXBFbXZXYzY3THdhYm1tV0J6OFdzdlo4WmhMelVIdnJzVDlDR2hiUm11RjU1NHpWUF90RFd5alBHRk5VSjJUV0g5NGM4b3d6TGxSZmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kaWFyTWdZaUxXeGo2dEFZSjZLQVAtb1pJWDd0c1oxSG9QUWVoRUpfVy1DMFlfTENjWTJVSEJ5b0l3TFRJenQwdXVocHFOaC1PYjR0VnRsWHo0LWJiY0xPSkxwZE11SnlMQTZYMjI2Ym9uTUJLM2k4dks5SFVRS0pndUs5SXRjRGpPOE9FSmRDaUtNYUdYOU00blIxMEFVSU9KQ1hRVU1idW5ZLXJ1dVNvMnE0OFhhTll4RjJDdFFqdHFJQjVnTHhB |
Most of the people criticise Shane and call him entitled and pompous. But, If you paid for room (which costs more) and you are offered a different room and the manager gaslights you and you confirm that you indeed booked a room, which in your mind you feel is the better one. Won’t you follow up with them constantly and then your wife suddenly wants to work during your honeymoon and but you are blamed for spoiling the honeymoon like are we serious. The only worst character in season 1 is the girl who comes along with Olivia’s family and has this saviour complex. Not only did she get the family robbed but also got a decent person working for his family fired because she knows “better”. | r/thewhitelotushbo | post | r/TheWhiteLotusHBO | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jRFNsSmQyOG1RUEl0eTNrb0xHWVZOMExGN3hvUEItUmNTUmJTTnlOZWlJOHR4a012QjAwSEZyWFZ1MlJUa3hWNjRITGJPMkJuV0steVREQUtmdWV5OVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kUDFCQ2lXdHppejFVbzVCSU1zZXJIZ3RXR3lLM3d3SVdhT1JCdXJsXy1tb1dqLXp1MHRqWS01dVBINTNSQU5zNDhXX3M4SXJDMVRBSDZqZVpYeFdYZzNtVDIzdW0zdmFEcmF3S3EwTVJFa3E0R29jdllWZDA4T2ppRkkwSnlXZzM3cV9qaE92UEhESHhhejNQV3ExZF96UzRyRlEyYnNJWk9HWDdlNklacXZqdkFXMXVWejVNNXZRYmJqSV8wUXpi |

This is my awesome daughter Haley enjoying our parish's Special Furry Easter Friends event. So many churches go the extra mile for their special followers. Most of us know mentally disabled who can't understand abstract concepts like religion. I worry about readings like, "No one comes to the Father except through Me." Can those who will never know Jesus while here go to heaven? | r/christianity | post | r/Christianity | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jRjd6Ukt1UVltT09mdDQxSkpBandMUmhxU3JNZ0FXcElIdWJCZkJ5VDhmTGYwMTVVUE5RbkhYREJycnpvUkFuelpaTmpNM1lHY01LWDZPbGE5ZUFqTGc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kM2JtaXhURDYwcGtjQmlBb1BNUkRRZVQ3MTlJbXZ4UXpjcnJfOGF5bnd6OFcxRkNsaVI4OEl4U3JucVhHNk1rMzZPZERiVnhJMkl4MkV4LVhBR2h1YUs2ZzJOSTJzM2ZLdXBPSHdLQy1neElHbGNVYUtodmY2Z3pQWWsyRWV6U2lZdXNHeGJsLUZ6TkdfbDdEYWRvVFppR1BsY1BEUFl1V0h2RmtTc3llVkV5YnVRTXIycjJtRFBCRXNPaDdOOXczZTJkVzJRUDVtd0dlOVNtTGo4RjZ2UT09 |
I have a half-sister who has been married for 23 years. Her married life was mostly bad. Her husband and children were mostly supported by my mom financially until she retired. Her marriage started with physical abuse at the beginning, then it turned into sexual and emotional abuse. There was also infidelity on both sides emotional on her part, while his involved full blown affairs. She even caught him flirting with his sister-in-law.
Seven years ago, my sister had back surgery and can’t walk normally anymore, which brings even more emotional abuse from him. Later, we learned the surgery was necessary because he had pushed her off the roof. We didn’t know he was like this before, although we knew she wasn’t happy. We had always advised her to leave him, but she never agreed. Even her sons advised her to divorce him.
It wasn’t until my mom’s financial support stopped that we discovered how abusive he really was.
Fast forward to now my sister finally broke down a week ago. She called us, cried, and told us how much she wished he were dead or that she were dead. That happened after he dragged her to the bedroom one night because she hadn’t gone there at 10 p.m. she said she wants a divorce. I was terrified and asked her to come back. I knew she might want to go back to him later, but I insisted she stay.
The problem is, she came with her five sons (22, 20, 18, 16, 14). My mom and I live together, and we can’t afford to support them. At first, she wanted to rent a house with her sons so they could work and support her. I told her this plan was unrealistic because the boys will eventually start their own families.
I said the best thing she could do is stay with us. My mom can take care of her for now, and if my mom passes away, she (my sister) can legally inherit the salary as an unmarried daughter. That way, she could live securely.
But letting the boys live with us while we pay all their expenses is impossible. On top of that, her husband is threatening to take the boys and lock them up if he ever sees them -it’s legal here because it’s considered a family matter-.
My sister has broken down these past few days and has been crying constantly. Now she says she wants to go back to him. I was shocked. He said he didn’t want her back when he called my dad. I’m really afraid for her safety if she does go back. I’m even more afraid she might hurt herself. I disagreed. She looks completely like a drug addict, empty and broken. I feel terrible for her, and I feel guilty because maybe I shouldn’t have said what I said. I really don’t know how to help her, and I’m not good at making people feel better. I have no idea how to help her, I feel guilty that my words crushed her. And I refused to let her go back and even let my mom refuse to let her go back. I feel like I’m meddling too much and it’s none of my business but at the some times I’m afraid I would regret it if I let her go back. What if something happened to her? but at the same time I can’t watch her all the time. I’m very confused. I can’t help thinking “am I hurting her?”
A little edit: because some people misunderstood and thought I didn’t want the boys to work to support their mother. That’s not what I meant, on the contrary, I truly hope they can be that reliable. But I have my reasons for saying what I did:
1. Her sons have refused to work so far, and right now, we are covering their personal expenses. So it’s hard for me to believe they’ll actually become reliable enough to depend on.
2. Socially, it’s very difficult and not truly safe for a single woman to live alone here, especially far from her family. That’s why I mentioned their future. Even if they don’t leave for marriage, they might leave for a job, education, or other reasons. Even if I ignored the safety issues At that time, they would eventually have to rent or buy their own place in the future. Can they really afford to cover her rent and living expenses for a lifetime?
Small note: The area where we live has many of our relatives, but my sister and her sons wouldn’t be able to afford rent here, even if they were all working. That’s why I want her to stay at our house. it’s safer than living in a strange area.
3. My sister’s husband didn’t dare take the boys away from our house because he’s afraid of my father and my father’s family. But if they were living alone, I’m sure he wouldn’t leave them in peace. Around here, you can’t really interfere with someone else’s family without serious consequences. But if he takes his sons from their own house, it’s a different story.
Small note: My father isn’t my sister’s father, so her husband wouldn’t be afraid of him. And honestly, my dad wouldn’t care much. unless the he came to our house, which he would not dare to. | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jSWU3MEVMMmZZM2c4QWY3bFdVam5IVi1ZQWNET3dQTHcyNmw3dEw3MFhXVXV4cjNZSDJwcGlydnk3WFNYdS1CdHFRZUFOeXRYZGRhVUVQMkF2cEVtV0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kZ2g4WDV5R2VUU3hHNGVhSjRnekJUZXhLSVpCaDJ4TDhodjNMR3EzWEhVVU9DbzNyeS1Pd0RyYzljRXN4WU9DN05UYnBFclpPaGNzdUNROWZsU3dNbGRfWklxRHhMSU9VUmtzOGNIMzNVdkJhVGtmd1R0Z21uczZSZXp6LU15UjBRLWhRa3hqLUtBSEhvZndRT2pORXpGZktnUmRXekFRUWZVcG91b19nQU04LTE4WUJuNi1TLXpvZ2FIQVh0QzRwV3VEVFAyMUF1TVN5aTY3UnhvSzVCUT09 |

After reading all your comments I (25F) realized my sister's (29F) romantic decisions are hers -- and hers only -- and there's no point in me trying to meddle, especially if I know she's not receptive.
I told her it was probably better for both of us if I didn't comment on or discuss her romantic relationships with her, trying to put up some barriers and prevent our relationship from suffering in future situations like this.
Despite this, late last night she sent me a long text all about how she's never felt this way about a guy, he makes her feel so safe, and despite his bad public reputation she knows the REAL him (she's met him once). I made the decision to simply not respond.
I know she'll probably come at me and say I'm unsupportive, cold, a bad sister for not responding, as she's done before. But ultimately, I think I'd rather have that over every conversation turning into a fight and being her continual emotional support cushion. | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jZmhmOHB6RTRrc0RzcWpsOGV1OGh2N1dBQThMQjZJbHRvM1Z6YUNkcjVTbVJUeUF0azRkaEs1ZE5BX1B6T0x3aGFiUktUZER5bzdEUlJLVTdDM3FYSEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5keWR0QWJwU0lYQ2N4SW5kQkJsUWdRSVJWcFJEbzUtRGNBMjlnSnhYVHhHSE05aGJpV2RTS2JMbGg1RFNiZEJwWmxkQlpIM2hTVVVZdXhsX29jQVdXeGlyN1YtU0pYSEpzZzNEa3U0dGlzLVNCNzRrZ2lvNE5sZVpjVGhzRlkyQndJLWtOSHc0SnZiWERobVNmNk1SQlNrUHN3S3ZJbWt6bHdlWmpReWdfcTdIc1VNdzcxNkRpUXhHMXNkUFVMeVFZd3M2cDg0OWVhbW5wUTVMdTJycG1QUnIwY0trSEN1NFVqckQ4WlUtLUx2MD0= |

y’all I’m so late to the white lotus train & i just finished s1 after starting it last night with my boyfriend.
with no spoilers, what is the best season/your favorite season? I do plan on finishing the entire series. My parents watch it & suggested for me to watch in order, but s3 was the best to them.
I’m really just curious because I thought s1 was really good, but I obviously haven’t seen the rest.

I’m 15, I never went to art school. I self-taught my self how to draw, and this is one of the few times I’ve drawn a human without being a stick.

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I think some of the things we list as kinks are not kinky at all. A prime example in my opinion would be a breeding kink. Isn’t that just sex the way it has been done since the beginning of humanity?

First let me say I love the idea and couldn’t be more in favor of it. We desperately need more native plants and pollinators and a perfect grass lawn is a total waste of water and pollutes the water with chemicals and leaves nothing for the wildlife. Basically I believe everyone should try to have the most native and natural lawn possible. That being said when I see pics of lawns in residential neighborhoods that have wildflowers, grasses, etc growing everywhere it looks like absolute ass. I’ve seen some pretty back yards that have paths and trees and all and even a few front yards with stones and shrubbery that look good but most pics I see especially of front yards with wildflowers and all look like someone just said fuck it. Again this doesn’t matter and we should all have these yards but people always talk about it like it looks better than a nice lawn and most of the time that just isn’t the case. | r/unpopularopinion | post | r/unpopularopinion | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jOXFPRHptLVI1MTgwbHkwWVY1OTN5TE1wQzBHQVNuZVE3YUozQUZTeXVodkw2QmVXLUpIclA0c2R6OUFaV2tvTVQ1dk5LNmEwUHlyZ2RVMWE2WnptMmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5ka29ydGYyTHhSRGNhd0w0RGJKaEZsQ0dyUlA4cFpjR01VMnpCYUdPeV8wR1JNcnV2QTY0bEZadWwzTkNzYWRnVmVxMDY3allpR3N6MWdvUDBHbnBNeUR0OGZPTjh0UWYzbDN0YzlONEVNTndvRnh5QXhTYi1sdDU3NEtETk1IM1V4Rjc2NExZVkxXdnZrV05DQS05T29TMGdCSXdqa3IxdVVyVlVzNmU2LWRrOXptMldYOWF2bjF3ZEdjTEFXWlFXblFUaE9mMjlPV2dZUG1kWVBpaGlZQT09 |
Well, let me tell you about the time I joined the Elevator Mile High Club with my Fleshlight, Creampuff.
It wasn’t as glamorous as the airplane toilet on a private jet, but the commitment was real. The elevator started moving, and so did I. Creampuff was there, ready to take me to new heights. Both emotionally and hydraulically.
It wasn’t the most romantic setting, but it sure was unforgettable. I’d definitely ride again, though maybe next time I won’t get so nervous. She’s a little wild, I know. But she really knows how to make an elevator trip memorable.
Who else has gone on an unexpected romantic adventure with a non-human companion? I can’t be the only one. | r/askredditafterdark | post | r/AskRedditAfterDark | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jT0JjQW1Xd2N0YmtFS3V3NkZZakFqZ29SXzR2QkowWWZZU1Z1MGNVNWxDVFpUVVVWX216UTk0bjhFdEs4TGRKNm1CR1k1YnIwQlFrLUxBSFVuSkpTbmhVQmVtZHNBVHhObXFGVDhJUDc1ZjQ9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kWG5nN09ETG03UjZVb0FsQkk3SkVGdkVDX180TF9wUVNUaTRIQ3lCX2lFV1oyeXdFa3luSVZRU2RlcGJ5OEZNb0RZSXFRSUZvSXI2alAwdkNhc3FVNDg0bDdOLXlmLXhvQms3Z3VNQzFWd3lueVVvTUFfb2oxdUhtZkhoWERwM3JBd1dKWW9RVXd6TzgxZG9aYklZMTVMMVBLZGlvVVVPejJxa19RcHZlYkg3ZUdSbzRfeXFmSnZ3aGMyVW5BTzBmX1FXOXNkamE4LThYbS1hQzVUM0F1Zz09 |
He's not dead!
Okay so its been a crazy night. For everyone asking why I hadn't already gone to the cops, it had only been a day and a half and I live in a very safe place so I didn't want to overreact. People have always told me I blow stuff up so I'm very cautious about it now. I know I probably should have gone earlier though.
Anyway, I left my house and tried to find a police station but all I could find were traffic violation stations, so I called in even though I have the speech capabilities of an 11 year old in Chinese, and told them what was going on. There was. nice woman on the phone and she was very helpful and patient and sent over some officers to meet me and help me.
They immediately take my case very seriously, but I still have the problem of not really having much info to give them. They asked if I had a picture of his ID and I was like... no? and so it took them a long time to find his record in the system. They were ready to go with me to do a house check but then they got an update on the system and asked if I was okay going with them to the station, and I of course was. So I get there and they ask me a few more questions like if we were fighting (no we weren't), etc. Then the officers who I'm talking to get a bit nervous and one types something into his phone and shows me a translation, and it says: "Your boyfriend was arrested 2 days ago."
I felt so many emotions and I'm still reeling, I barely slept last night and I have been worried sick and crying all day and so I'm relieved that hes fine, hes not dead or hurt or sick or in a coma or something. But at the same time,,, Hes fucking arrested????
I'm still trying to wrap my head around it quite frankly. They couldn't tell me why he was arrested because the case isn't closed, but they took down my number and said they'd call me.
But yeah. I'm so exhausted from this whole ordeal.
Since I know people will ask, he's a great guy, a very nice person. He does, however, jaywalk sometimes and everyone here drives like a lunatic on their electric bikes including him.
But both of those mean you are held in custody until they figure out the case. If its just a minor thing he'll be out in a few days, and probably pay a fine. If it's something worse... well then maybe I shouldn't be seeing him anyway.
Anyway thanks for everyone who commented, and made me feel like I wasn't overreacting or being a crazy girlfriend.
I'll update if I ever find out what he did.
TLDR: Hes not dead, he was arrested 2 days ago and his case is still ongoing.
Edit/ update: The more I think about it, He had to have been arrested early on tuesday. So probably not a fight or anything, maybe something he was caught on camera for?
Edit: Bikes (by that I mean electric scooter things) are illegal in this city so I'm told and yet I almost get hit by one daily. Jaywalking is illegal and yet he and everyone else does it all the time. Also, you can get held in custody for very minor things, which is why I haven't blacklisted him quite yet. Like once a guy yelled slurs at a group of my friends and called my black friend the n-word and the police detained him for 3 days for disturbing the peace. Not saying my bf would do that but you can get detained for small things | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jWXFBZmx1TDZLWHZIOUF4ZF9WM3l6TDFzSWtHSDluYTEzaldjR1Y3ZHVJaWpLdjVPLUZhQ2F3Wk83bGM4VGp1V1hTN2pCZWR1aVFBVFNmN3d6NkZCSktidnZTODZoRWs5YjZEckFfZGJSSDQ9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kOEFvQ3dsbWNiXzNzYzhYSFBWUmFWZERVZkVDc21iMklBa2lrUWM0NzhXTHBBQy1OcV9IZThCSEpRTDhSMHlLWFAteDBPak96ZlNlTnBCelR1aUN2c2dlNnVlcTFaaWNTRXNYalNPalJXc3N2ZTNvZjFjNkJSRGwxQ3VQTzJkeThsblhNcVVkT3BCem1laWRua2VMeHR5ZUlHWlpHcExvdFFCVkNwclVlNk9kSi1UMHBvTjZXSVZpZG5rSGFCQTI4VENFeXcwWFZ5NWY4ZkVINDctaUd0cGFJakJ5dGFpTm9IcjdQTER5RnVpRT0= |
"Budget cuts to public R&D would significantly hurt the economy in the long run, with large negative effects on GDP, investment, and government revenue. A 25 percent cut to public R&D spending would reduce GDP by an amount comparable to the decline in GDP during the Great Recession."
The authors note these are conservative estimates and don't take into account additional spillover channels and loss of innovation "spinoffs" in other publicly funded areas.

Most of the people criticise Shane and call him entitled and pompous. But, If you paid for room (which costs more) and you are offered a different room and the manager gaslights you and you confirm that you indeed booked a room, which in your mind you feel is the better one. Won’t you follow up with them constantly and then your wife suddenly wants to work during your honeymoon and but you are blamed for spoiling the honeymoon like are we serious. The only worst character in season 1 is the girl who comes along with Olivia’s family and has this saviour complex. Not only did she get the family robbed but also got a decent person working for his family fired because she knows “better”. | r/thewhitelotushbo | post | r/TheWhiteLotusHBO | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jemZ1T2Q2Y0xkYXBCaHlTLUkyVHZRTWkyOG1lUUlyeE5QcXZqLXp3eXBlVjBhN1dOWXlVeGx1TEFyNF9fSTJibE90dU1yR0ZBWEhDcXZpWHJhcVlGSXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kLTJLWFUtaW1JMnhHRUlKSWxCNE5hZUVnOERKU0E3QXc2UkhGMUs2NnVabVFUeHM0RmxNT3JjSEVzMHRBNDBMa0k4V28zNUlzTEY3OWFRM0VOQmxNN1l4QnE2X0w5bFk0TmlOcDdhVFYyc24waGVXVXhOX1dTcktBTnRIenF5TFF3MVRpN3VfaW9rTmFybkpicUExLXVGamNNUjRJQ1VmT3RoaG5pNzBpdVFLOVhwaFhlWXZVN01GTVNzeWxibVBU |
https://apnews.com/article/trump-economy-tariffs-gdp-7494825851dcef94ec81475124f9326f
>WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Wednesday acknowledged that his tariffs could result in fewer and costlier products in the United States, saying American kids might “have two dolls instead of 30 dolls,” but he insisted China will suffer more from his trade war.
>
>The U.S. president has tried to reassure a nervous country that his tariffs will not provoke a recession, after a new government report showed that the U.S. economy shrank during the first three months of the year.
>

I’ve been in the process of leaving my marriage, but I keep second-guessing myself. I don’t know what this was. It doesn’t look like the kind of abuse I went through in my past. But it also doesn’t feel like love anymore. I keep trying to figure out if I’m exaggerating, if I’m being unfair, or if I’m finally seeing something I couldn’t admit before.
My husband is very generous. He brought me coffee every morning. He paid the bills. He did the grocery shopping. He handled logistics. But he also told me I couldn’t make coffee properly. That I didn’t know how to shop. That I was bad with money. He tracked my car and mocked me when I missed a turn. He installed cameras all over our house but refused to lock the doors or set the alarm. He insisted on leaving doors open at night, and when I said that made me feel unsafe, he said I was paranoid. He constantly looked over my shoulder when I was texting or using my phone. It didn’t feel like love—it felt like surveillance. But I still don’t know if that’s a fair way to describe it.
He would walk in on me when I was naked, on the toilet, or in the bathtub. When I asked for privacy or locked the bathroom door, he called me controlling. When I tried to set boundaries, he said I was rejecting him or hurting his feelings.
Sometimes he would yell, slam doors, punch walls. He drove dangerously when angry, even with our kids in the car. Other times he would completely shut down and ignore me. Then he’d swing back and be affectionate and helpful, like nothing had happened. I was constantly off-balance.
There were many times I moved into the guestroom or stopped speaking to him for days. Not to punish him, but because I didn’t know what else to do. He scared me when we argued. I couldn’t think. My nervous system would shut down. I’d freeze. I have PTSD, and I had just come out of an 18-year abusive marriage. I felt like I was constantly defending myself—there, and then again here. If I couldn’t remember everything perfectly, he would use it against me. He told me my silence was dismissive. That I was stonewalling him. But I wasn’t trying to hurt him—I just didn’t feel safe enough to speak.
In recovery, I’ve learned to manage my PTSD better. I’ve learned to speak up. I’ve started to set boundaries. I don’t yell. I don’t explode. But I’ve finally begun to name what’s happening, and every time I do, it somehow gets turned around on me. Suddenly he’s the victim. He sulks. Shuts down. Scowls at me. Tells me I’m taking everything away from him. If I need space, or rest, or time to think, I feel like I’m being punished for it.
He says he loves our kids, but he undermined my parenting constantly. I have ADHD. My kids have special needs. He treated that like a flaw in all of us. If I advocated for them, he said I was enabling them. He said they were manipulating me. But when I defended them, he said I was undermining him. The house became tense. My kids fight. They’re scared of being corrected or blamed. They’re even starting to micromanage me, like they’ve absorbed the atmosphere. Every time I try to create peace, he blocks it. He complains about every solution. But he also wants constant affection and attention from me, like none of the other chaos exists. But he’s also an involved step-father. He’s taken over so much of the visible parenting, but I do all the stuff no one notices. My kids now defer to him for everything. I feel like he stole my relationship with them. He says my drinking did. I don’t think that’s fair. I didn’t have a drinking problem for 80% of their lives.
He used therapy language to explain away his behavior. If I made connections to past trauma, he said I was just projecting. If I got upset, he said it was my PTSD, not his actions. He said he was scared I didn’t really love him. That I’d used him as a soft landing after my divorce. He insisted on endless emotional conversations—hours and hours—where the subject kept shifting until I felt totally lost. When I asked to stop, he pushed harder. When I finally snapped, he broke down crying. Confused. Desperate. Like I’d harmed him. It was so destabilizing.
We had agreed I would go stay with a friend out of state for a month. He helped me pack. After I left, he sabotaged my plan. He says he panicked. But from where I stand, it didn’t look like panic—it looked strategic. He took steps that could have resulted in me losing custody of my kids. He called the police, my friends, my doctors, and said he was worried about my mental health. He doesn’t know that I know what he did.
I hadn’t stood up to him sooner because… he was supposed to be the safe one. I couldn’t admit to myself—and I especially couldn’t let my ex-husband find out—that I had walked out of one abusive marriage and into another. That I’d put my kids in another unsafe situation. I knew my husband for a long time before we moved in together. I never imagined he could become the person he’s become. I feel like I was tricked.
I couldn’t fight two men at once. So I tried to be better. I tried to be less sensitive. I tried to adjust to his way of doing everything. I tried to keep the peace. Overlook the red flags. Bend and twist myself into someone who wouldn’t be mocked or scrutinized. It didn’t work. Everything I did was wrong. Everything my kids did was wrong. But he was also so happy sometimes. So loving. So generous. How can someone be both kind and cruel? Easy and hard. How can someone say you’re everything to them and still make you feel like you’re never enough?
During the pandemic, I started drinking heavily—in the closet. It was the only place I wasn’t on camera. I’m ashamed of it. But I also know it was a response to being trapped and scared. I know I’m responsible for my drinking. I also know that both of my marriages played a huge role in why I spiraled.
I didn’t leave because I stopped loving him. I left because I couldn’t survive in that house anymore. Because I started to feel like I was disappearing. Because I started to believe I was going crazy. And now that I’ve taken some space, I’m finally trying to understand what happened.
His family thinks he’s a saint. They act like I don’t exist or I’m a gold digger. They think he stood by me. But he didn’t. I did it all alone. I gave up everything to be here. I have no family left. He makes much more money than I do. I can’t even afford an attorney. I feel like I’m standing at the edge of something I still can’t name.
This doesn’t look like the abuse I’ve been through before. But it also doesn’t feel like love. I don’t know what this was. I just know that I feel erased, exhausted, and confused. I’ve been trying to fix this for years. I’ve gone to therapy. We are in marriage counseling. I’ve gotten sober. I’ve begged for peace. But nothing ever really changed-it got worse…I think. I’m just not sure. It feels worse. It just feels intolerable. Death by a thousand cuts.
If you’ve experienced anything like this—if any of this sounds familiar—please tell me what you think.
EDIT: 1. I guess my post was misleading- I’ve been in recovery for 2 years and I actively work a program. I am sober. 2. My kids were going w/me when I left. I wasn’t leaving them behind. 3. He has left the house. | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jN0hWY1lXZE9rUDBndWVZTUFKRjRPSjdxNl9VXzdERkJEWm5ubWxLcnBsc0xQNWZhVHdycmZtQlkxTGdKTUlHcWZ3cERaUkFEaUhSbmZ3SXR6RTJHMVIySUVMbW54cG1yTzVKMmJRd09XX009 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kRFhXTUNzM0Y2ZUE2dEZlRWJsYjVVa2ZmY2MyN0RQdktTY2VJRjhkN1NwNXZEX203Z3VkX2h3cmFZQ1RXV1BUeTdsQ3dZWjAtOURzN29rU3dCcElubFg3R1hUNXJMb0lMZlJGcnkzWjRmdFJUNDBlRGFPNDhOS2JvME1lUkg3dXRPeGR2YXlVUnhjcmxBN3lsc0hob240SW1ZSjdSajJCTnJiQ1FYb2JJM3diWGw5RXAxQU1FNzhLZ1F6TnNMMV9vZEJpaC1zcEZ1QWp3T19uQkp6YzVUZz09 |
Microsoft shares rose more than 6% in extended trading on Wednesday after the company reported better-than-expected quarterly results.
Here’s how the company performed in comparison with LSEG consensus:
* **Earnings per share:** $3.46 vs. $3.22 expected
* **Revenue:** $70.07 billion vs. $68.42 billion expected
Microsoft’s revenue grew 13% year over year in the quarter, which ended on March 31, according to a statement.
The company said Azure revenue grew 33%, with 16 points of the growth associated with AI. Analysts polled by StreetAccount and CNBC had anticipated 30.3% and 29.7% Azure growth, respectively.
During the quarter, which ended on March 31, Microsoft announced an adjustment to its relationship with key AI partner OpenAI. The company said it would have a right of first refusal when OpenAI wants new computing capacity, but won’t always have to deliver it. On the same day, OpenAI announced the Stargate AI infrastructure project alongside Oracle and SoftBank at the White House.

>President Donald Trump on Wednesday blamed former President Joe Biden for the U.S. economy contracting in the first quarter of 2025 — and suggested he will blame Biden again for the second quarter’s results.
>
>“This is Biden,” Trump said after the Commerce Department reported gross domestic product declined in the first three months of this year.
>
>“And you could even say the next quarter is sort of Biden because it doesn’t just happen on a daily or an hourly basis,” he said during a Cabinet meeting at the White House.
>
>Trump noted that he did not take office until late January.
>
>“The stock market in this case is, it says how bad the situation we inherited,” he said. “This is a quarter that we looked at today, and I, we took, all of us, together, we came in on January 20th.”
Does this mean Q2 will be negative GDP growth too? If he's preemptively setting up blame for a quarter we're only one month into

I (27f) have a boyfriend (28m) who I’ve been dating for a year. We split the cost of nearly everything. He won’t even buy my coffee without me asking. He’s extremely frugal, to the point where he only buys certain vegetables based on the sale price, or splitting a cocktail. He nickel and dimes me for everything.
I am increasingly bothered by this. I think the moment that was a tipping point for me was when he wanted us to split the cost of a Plan B when a condom broke during sex. And he even brought it up to me again the following morning.
He says he wants to stay with me for the long term but I’m not sure. I think we make a good match other than how cheap he is. I make less than him (75k) he makes about 90k for work and probably 80k from day trading so maybe 150-170k in total.
He says he wants to be with me long term (like marriage) but I just don’t know anymore. I know he’ll provide for kids well with his frugality but as a girlfriend I just don’t feel like I’m being cared for properly. I sometimes buy him gifts and treat him but he mostly just treats me on my birthday.
He’s not sweeping me off my feet and I’m not even a materialistic person. I dress simply and don’t covet designer or luxury items.
We have an international trip planned for August and I know I’ll have to buy everything on my own.
I think the thing that bothers me the most is that when I treat him he accepts, but whenever he pays for something he keeps a running tab in his mind.
Also I want to go to medical school and he seems to be talking me out of it due to the length of training. He recently told me he’d stick with me if I did nursing, but not if I wanted to go to medical school. | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jYmlxUXUxZURubHZpNTI1VFFkVDdTNlE5WVFkU05nNWU5bTUwbFN4TUV6ZE11MEhPUGtkdFdRVTM1VFN6RUE0WS1SYVhxT2ozajBEV1VUb1FDbEZuSmFBaG1kbnpRT3NqdFoyNC01djRpNXc9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kdlNKRFhZWE0yems3UzFJSzUta3pIVHRPS0VpdkY2b0JtY01ILXlFU0RFLXQ1Z19zSVM2d3djNVJlWnVTZlVnTWdLQS1aeUN2NXBDWUpkdEhvNEtaU0tpX0lONTB4UE05R0ZsTE1RaWlocTZkWmlPR1pZNmYxNjlFMzdDZTNBWjhmbi1oUDBzbnJzVHpRMHdZaHpzRGF1cUx3VE1EaGFyNnVuZ3FNRlUydlItdDhELUM0NGhqTnhLVDlWdVkwbjdVZE1HRWRiRDdGV0dYWWJ1LVg5UlNBQT09 |

A season set in the past at a White Lotus resort, maybe in the Serengeti, Africa, and its the girls trip Kate brought up to Victoria in season 3 at breakfast and also on the trip is... Tanya! A great way to bring in these "all star" characters back in a fun and creative and canon way. Obviously there'd be new characters like the person who hosted that girls trip and other characters who are at the hotel, coz it can't only revolve around the girls. I think its a really cool idea, already being set up in season 3 and all, and who wouldn't want to see Kate, Victoria and Tanya back with maybe a few other returning characters.
Anyways, let me know what you guys think.

I proposed to my girlfriend last weekend after months of planning
We’ve been together for three years and things have been good overall
I saved up and picked out a ring I thought she’d love
It wasn’t a massive diamond but it was beautiful and suited her style — and cost me around $6,000 USD
Not cheap by any stretch. I could only afford it because the month before I had a large win on Stake US.
She said yes but the first thing she said when she saw the ring was “oh… it’s smaller than I expected”
Later she mentioned her friend’s ring being bigger and said she thought I would’ve gone with something more “impressive”
At first I tried to laugh it off but honestly it kind of crushed me
I put real thought and effort into the proposal and the ring
The moment meant everything to me and now it just feels... hollow
Now I keep thinking — if this is how she reacted to something that was supposed to be special and meaningful, what else will never be good enough?
AIO for wondering if this might be a dealbreaker or at least something serious enough to rethink everything?

Apple willfully violated and ignored a 2021 decision that came out of the Epic Games case, judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers said in a decision on Wednesday.
She wrote that Apple’s Vice President of Finance Alex Roman “outright lied” to the court about when Apple had decided to levy a 27% fee on some purchases linked to its App Store.
“Neither Apple, nor its counsel, corrected the, now obvious, lies,” Rogers wrote, saying that she considers Apple to “to have adopted the lies and misrepresentations to this Court.”
Rogers added that she referred the matter to U.S. attorneys to investigate whether to pursue criminal contempt proceedings on both Roman and Apple.
The decision is a striking repudiation of Apple’s conduct in the Epic Games trial, which concluded in 2021 and was appealed in 2023.
While Apple won the vast majority of counts in the original trial, Epic Games did win some concessions tucked inside a 180-page order: Rogers originally ordered Apple to make changes to its app store, allowing app makers to link their websites inside iPhone apps in order for customers to make purchases.
On Wednesday, Rogers accused Apple of willfully trying to violate her ruling, and held Apple in contempt.
Rogers says that it was expected under her ruling that those kind of off-app purchases would not have an Apple commission. But Apple introduced new policies in 2024 that collected a 27% commission from some of those purchases, only a slight discount from the 30% Apple usually collects from in-app purchases. Rogers said nearly every Apple decision on its app linking policies was anticompetitive.
Rogers wrote that Apple presented evidence to the court of internal deliberations about its rule that were “tailor-made for litigation,” instead of Apple’s actual internal discussions.
“In stark contrast to Apple’s initial in-court testimony, contemporaneous business documents reveal that Apple knew exactly what it was doing and at every turn chose the most anticompetitive option,” Rogers wrote. “To hide the truth, Vice-President of Finance, Alex Roman, outright lied under oath.”
Rogers ordered, effective immediately, for Apple to stop imposing its commissions on purchases made for iPhone apps through web links inside an app.
“This is an injunction, not a negotiation. There are no do-overs once a party willfully disregards a court order,” Rogers wrote.
An Apple representative did not respond to a request for comment. An Epic Games representative did not immediately have a comment.

When I was brand new, I was shooting in the hundreds. 108 was a great round. Expectations were low. I noticed the birds chirping. I was happy to just be outdoors.
Through practice and lessons I got closer and closer to breaking 100. Now I almost never shoot above 100. However, I’ve also only broken 90 a handfull of times.
Shooting in the 90s is a particular sort of curse. You have started to become aware of what good Golf feels like, you’ve by now payed good golf for a run of holes - where it all falls into place and you played like you now feel you should. But for whatever reason can’t seem to string together enough good shots to make it happen with regularity.
Here and there you get a round that feels amazing. But most mostly you end up staring at a score card, counting all those silly duffs or off-line shots that shouldn’t have happened. Those shots were well within your skill level, you’ve made them countless times. And you had some great shots! You just didn’t string all the shots together today. Or, well, almost ever. | r/golf | post | r/golf | 2025-04-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jUW1FemdNcWpfV2F3dGJPZXM3cDJWSjVhbDkwdzljQjRNa21VclpjRF9KQVdlZVVJZGpEdl9DY2psRVc2bWthOXJnc3pmdFN6VkJDQ3pKWHhxWmpqVUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kZG1RS2RWWlpqc1VEc0dIaGV3YTZ4UlZzWENxamtMYk5RRHFzTzlFOGVZd3NCMVNtSElqX3ZzSmRxS093Z19LOVpfUVMxN0I2MDZlM2o5a2tPb3BqOGhpT19qa2pXcWxXbXJlWkVBU3JLOXg4elJ2LXFvNXJ4ZlJEbFQ2VFJTbGhnSGs0aXNWOEZ3TzIwZWhpUDhlQXppS09nZ3hlSDJRQ3o1MWJmY29IQkFyU0Z5Y3BFNFg1ZC1MMGdWOWJXVTJ2 |
