2023.06.02 11:05 Comprehensive_Ad_512 Turns out, there's some truth to eleven weeks
Context: 76 days NC, a year-long relationship (as in "two people see each other often and communicate a lot") half of which was a situationship with an attempt of "Relationship" which lasted about two months. (Writing it out made me realize how utterly complicated that was).
So, I just want to say, that now, when I'm nearing 11 weeks past BU it seems to get better. My heart doesn't feel as heavy and my overall condition improved. Aside from time doing its thing, here is what I have done in no particular order:
- Exercise. Some people say to exercise like a demon. I guess there's some merit to it, but I had no time, no desire, no money and no opportunity to get into gym obsession. I just downloaded a free exercise app for men and stuck to it (15 minutes a day, every day for 37 days with exceptions on ones when app tells me to rest). Combined with lessened food and alcohol intake it helped me to improve my looks enough for me to notice, I feel stronger and physically more capable.
- Walking. My job makes it easy to walk 10000 steps a day and, when I have the time on my days off, I try to walk as much. Walking in nature is cool, especially now, when it's finally summer.
- Reading. Both fiction and non-fiction helped me to take my mind off BU. Non-fiction strengthens the mind, fiction heals the heart. And I just love reading, so it also helped me relax.
- Meditation. 50 days straight. Improved my ability to just be. I actually can focus on something other than my thoughts and feelings for quite some time now.
- Talking to friends. Can't stress this enough: having someone to share your thoughts and feelings with is tremendously helpful. Don't play it cool, don't feel ashamed - just talk to someone who cares. For me, it isn't even as much about looking for advice or something, letting someone in on my pain helps as is.
- Doing chores and "keeping it together". That is a tough one - my mind is occupied by thoughts, and it takes effort to return to day-to-day things. But having a paycheck, clean clothes and a clean apartment is totally worth it.
- Allowing my self to think and feel whatever. Is it sadness? Get in. Anger? Sure. Do I miss her? Okay. Am I hurt? Welcome. Am I hopeful? Great, let me experience it. One step at a time, may whatever come - I'll be there for myself. I'm in control, and none of my feelings and urges warrant necessity of any kind of action. (Guess meditation really helped with that).
- Some therapy. Sadly, due to my financial struggles I can't afford counseling every week or, to be fair, on any consistent basis. It'll change for the better in a couple of weeks, though. Anyway, those hours I had were tremendously helpful. My mind was and kind of is a mess, so having someone else's mind to help mine to get mended back together is extremely useful.
- Some journaling. Classical one, greatfulness and letters never send.
- Writing poetry. Having a creative outlet is helpful.
- Partying every once in a while. We all need to relax some times.
- Thinking in general. I know that a lot of us struggle with ruminating and "what if" kinds of thoughts, but they are there for a reason: as messy is it is, your mind is trying to make sense of the situation and, while there's a lot of "useless" chaff, some of it actually adapts whole of you to a new post BU reality. For me, anyway, it did.
- Taking responsibility and forgiving myself. There was a lot of things I could have done differently. There's a lot of things I could have communicate better. There's a lot of choices I've made that were based only on a part of myself and not the whole of me. There was a lot of doubts I could've voiced. A lot of anger pent up. A lot of withholding on my part. I'm sorry, but I had my reasons, and did my best at the time. Next time when life will turn its ugly side on me I'll be that bit more prepared.
- Reading this sub. It helps to see that I'm not the only one struggling.
By no means, I'm over it: any accidental reminder of her leads to feelings of pretty extreme anxiety. I guess I'll keep eliminating those and keep reframing my memories so it no longer hurts.
I suppose, your mileage may vary, but to anyone who's not eleven weeks in yet: it just might get better a little bit this soon.
Thank you and carry on! We got what it takes!

2023.06.02 11:03 _The10thMuse_ I [20M] just broke up with my girlfriend [20F]. It hurts really bad.
I’m 20 years old, and just broke up with the first girlfriend I’d ever had. She was kind, sweet, and loving, always respectful of my boundaries, always caring and comforting, and I was the same to her. She’s had seven boyfriends in the past, but always broke up with every single one of them. She’d never been in love, and I was her first, just as she was mine.
Our relationship was long distance. I was naive and thought we could make it work, but even while we were together, I made her cry every night. Our one hope was that she could move near me, and it was an actually feasible hope— her sister was looking for houses within an hour of my house, and we might’ve been able to make it all work out.
A few weeks ago, she told me that her sister was also looking for houses near her place, and she wasn’t sure if they were going to move. The plans I have for my future make it so it’d take around five years to have a feasible chance to move in with her and start a life together for real. I’m not rich by any sense, and visiting her temporarily would be infrequent, and leave her broken each time I’d leave.
And just tonight, she told me that her sister was confirmed to be looking for a home near their place. I talked to her about how we could make the distance work, but it was all too bleak. I know just how much she cried and suffered each night with me being away. I wasn’t going to put her through five years of pain for something that had a high chance of crumbling before the end. So I decided to end it early, before I hurt her more than I already had.
It hurts. I threw up. She did too. She begged me not to leave her, and I did. If I stayed with her, I’d hurt her. If I broke up with her, I’d hurt her. Deciding that we wouldn’t work out is selfish of me. Deciding to keep her to myself even when she’d get burned in the process would also be selfish of me.
No matter what I do, everything is going to hurt.
Sometimes I wonder if it was even worth asking her out to begin with. I gave her all the love I could, and she reciprocated. Neither of us wanted to end it. If I hadn’t asked her out, things wouldn’t have hurt for either for us.
But I don’t regret it. I don’t regret giving her my heart, I don’t regret spending time with her. I don’t regret getting to know her family, or staying up late nights talking, or comforting her when she was having a hard day. I don’t regret being there for her, and I wouldn’t have changed a thing.
I just wish I had more relationship experience. Maybe this all could’ve been avoided somehow, and we could’ve had a happy ending. But instead, I’ll cry into my pillow, as I’m writing her one final poem.
I love you, Sadie. Forever and always. Goodbye
TLDR: I broke off a long distance relationship with the girl I love with all my heart because I refuse to drag her along and hurt her more than I have to.

2023.06.02 11:03 thebitterbittern Need advice for making timer buttons (first time DIYing anything electronic)
My partner and I both have issues with remembering to do recurring tasks and we thought of a solution that might help us a lot, but I'm having trouble finding resources on how to do it.
It would be cool if we could have buttons, maybe about the size of a dime, that flash when certain tasks need to be done (like feeding the fish, or watering the plants, or taking our meds). For tasks where time of day matters, like animal feeding, this could look like the button turning on at 10 AM and 5 PM every day, and not turning off until somebody presses it. For other tasks, like plant watering, it could begin a countdown for 5 days every time it is pressed, and then once the timer ends not turn off until pressed again.
Phone reminders don't cut it anymore, I just snooze them for hours in a row and sometimes just turn them off and forget without really noticing them because I'm not up and in task mode, or because I'm not home. I need to actually notice the reminder, and also be standing up already and near the task. I think this way I could walk around the house every day when I'm in task mode and look for flashing buttons, then do the task it's related to. Alternatively all the buttons could be in a single spot (so they could all be on a single wall plug/battery) with the task written next to it's respective flashing button, and each button operating on its own timer. We have found that physical, visual cues work best for us (sticky notes on door handles, putting stray items in a walkway so we have to choose between tripping on them or putting them back where they belong, etc.). But if something stays in one spot/unchanged for two long, it practically becomes indistinguishable from it's surroundings, hence why I want the button to flash instead of just turn on. I want something that demands visual attention.
Does anyone have any idea what resources could help me figure it out? All I could find myself was about making buttons on websites, not physical buttons. And in terms of products that already exist, I could only find things that time up to 2 hours max, not several days.
I've never done anything like this, so I'd appreciate any information or resources anyone might know of that could point me in the right direction. Or even any ideas that have worked for you in a similar situation. Thanks!

2023.06.02 10:56 GreatBeloved The mental load is crushing the life out of me.
Husband(49M) and I (46F) used to make a great team, but it's gone to hell in a hand basket over the last few years. Recently he informed me that I was expected to do 100% for our daughter(9) all the cleaning and inside the house chores. He takes the trash out, mows the lawn/winter shoveling (unless he is out of town- and I think he checked the weatheplanned his away weeks so I had to clear the driveway nearly every storm this year- and the grass hasntbbeen mowed this season) He told me that we had agreed when I took my part-time (24-32hrs/week) job 2 years ago, that our daughter wouldn't be in daycare and I could do things at home. I missed the fact that he was going to stop doing ANYTHING around the house. I refuse to schedule his appointments or do his laundry. His schedule is erratic and he is too picky on the order his shirts get hung up in the closet. He also pays all the household bills. But if I ask him to grab a gallon of milk at the store on the way home you would think I sent him on a mission for a rare gem.
Everyday I get up at 6:30 with our daughter to get her ready for school. He rolls out of bed just after 7. I make sure she is fed, has snack, homework, book, water, shoes etc for school and we are out the door at 7:40. I drop her off at school, drive to the post office for work (15 min) and head to the office. I have to leave work by 2:30 to be home before the bus. Then it's snack, homework, maybe 1 hr of down time before supper prep, baths, and bedtime prep. daughter has severe anxiety and I sit with her until she fLls asleep. Somewhere between 4 and 6 he announces he is done with work (unless he gets a phone call) and he sits in his recliner and turns on the TV. I can't get him to see that my being home with our daughter after school.does not give me more extra rime in my day. He refuses to help.with cooking, and complains that he eats out too much so doesn't want takeout. He doesn't understand why there are always dirty dishes in the sink, or why I haven't had the chance to vacuum or put laundry away. I have to schedule all the appointments for my daughter. I have to follow up with the school. I plan meals and buy the groceries. I am trying to get a summer schedule set, and he refuses to sit with me and look at the calendar- because he doesn't know where he will need to be for work. I am just so tired.
2 years ago I started a new job. Super flexibility, good pay, part-time 24-32 hours a week. I can WFH or at the office, any hours, I just need to make sure the job is done. Hubby is a sales manager, he goes to his customers/ spends time with employees and finishes his paperwork/communication from home (his desk is between our living room and dining areas). Every 3 weeks or so he is out of town Monday-Thursday. His work is full time plus. He will always answer his work calls, no matter the time, or what activity the family is doing. 2 or 3 times a year he travels out of state for Corporate events- training and fun events, 1 week a year he has a guys vacation (hunting trip). 3 years ago I was working a full-time job (32 hours a week, our daughter (now 9) was in full time daycare, my disabled mom was living with us, she had helpers that regularly came to the house. Hubby had the same job, but was not managing others yet.

2023.06.02 10:51 snehamahesh Arsis Developers Reviews Bangalore - Trustworthy Reviews
The made locales in Bangalore are creating with such a flood of speed that occasionally you see new Arsis Developers watching out, building one or various exercises of estates, homes, or selling condos, etc.
The market is unnecessarily full to the point that it is challenging to catch the ideal Developer and right land experience as an expected entryway. Countless Developers are not maintained or permitted by the public power experts to start improvement. A way they get it going, they sell properties, get from them, and in this way disseminate, staying away from the demolished buyers which they scarcely climb with respect to.
📷
I had some knowledge of these things as I'm a news buff and I keep eyes on the close by and public business news. I have been working for quite a while and near the beginning of this continuous year, I bought a level in one of the known undertakings in the city. This attempt is named
Arsis Green Hills and it is made by Arsis Developers. I'm content with the appreciation of the purchase and I'm one of those lucky people who put assets into the best land and an entryway at the best time.
I'm outlining this Arsis Green Hills Review KR Puram to help different people who could get sorted out inland cheats. This
Arsis Green Hills Reviews KR Puram is to face the challenge of buyers or land buffs through my purchase interaction and help them with perceiving how it typically works.
Thus, last year in the hour of September, I started looking for a level to be bought in and around Bangalore. As I work in the city in an acknowledged connection, I wished to get settled here.
I told my close mates, neighbors, and office people about my objectives and alluded to them to share their getting a handle on in regards to this present circumstance. In the meantime, I was searching for reliable activities on the web as well. During my sales, I ran over various
Arsis Developers Reviews Bangalore, yet I wouldn't settle down on one task out of nowhere early. I really took a gander at various developments, I conversed with various designers, I visited different regions, right now nothing had all of the stores of being ideal for myself comparatively as my lifestyle. During a comparable time, I was influenced by one Green hills Survey taking a gander at the exceptional headway segment entryway, open cushions, rich vegetation in the combining, sports, working conditions, and that is just a touch of something greater.
📷
This was adequate for me to make the crucial choice and plan a course of action. The following week, I visited with the facilitator, and the accessories, they helped me with keeping an eye out for every one of my solicitations, requests, and questions. They informed me about the purchasing cycle, finance support from known banks, smooth vehicle of reports, and how straightforwardness stays aware of through the planned exertion. I was stunned and ensured the end result of organizing a site visit, which I did.
Moreover, clearly, the subsequent I entered the task I grasped that all of the
Arsis Developers Review Bangalore on the web is veritable and the venture is palatable. It is an ideal fit in the event that you are looking for a spot as a home around here.

2023.06.02 10:28 Hot_Tea4497 my friend (23f) thinks that i (23f) was being toxic
well i guess she thought that what i was saying was toxic. i needed a favor at a late hour. it’s 2:24 am and this was less than 10 mins ago. i thought that there was someone hiding under my bed because i felt it shake so i was afraid. i still kind of am. it’s because i’ve had my tires slashed twice in the past month and i was afraid someone broke in or something and hid under my bed. i was worried it might have been the same people or person that slashed my tires.
anyways, i texted her and asked her to please come in my room and open the door and that it was an emergency. she said no because it was late. i said “forget it”. she said “that’s toxic”. i explained that’s not really toxic. i told her i was having a crisis and was afraid that someone was under my bed. i also told her that i feel like i’ve done a lot for her recently and that i haven’t felt like it’s been replicated on her end. for example, i paid a 1300$ for her and i haven’t seen any of the money yet. i feel like she complains about any small favor that i have. today i bought her coffee and a slim jim.
i don’t want to lose her because she has cut me off before for being toxic but i just can’t communicate that well when i’m upset. any advice? how do i fix this even though i feel like i’m not in the wrong?

2023.06.02 10:26 Embarrassed-Dig-0 Been having intense mood swings throughout the day, don’t see doctor for another month, any insight / advice?
First off I’ve been taking Viibryd for over 3 or 4 months. Also, I exercise. Now that that’s out of the way….
For the last 2 weeks I have been experiencing stretches of time throughout the day in which I feel an insane combination of anxiety, stress and dread. Lasts about 1 -3 hours I think. During these times I feel utterly hopeless and overwhelmed. I get an adrenaline rush from all the emotions so even if Ive been tired I’ll be pacing around my house with no problem or fatigue. I nearly cried multiple times today which is very unusual for me-I literally almost couldn’t hold my tears in. My eyes got watery but luckily I was able to stop myself from having a huge crying spell (didn’t want a whole thing to start with my family being worried bc I’m crying).
It’s to the point where during these times I have been feeling very strong urges to engage in a self-harming behavior I used to in the past. These feelings got very intense today / have actually been getting worse, but I’ve managed to control myself so I don’t need medical advice or consultation with this, and I already have a therapist / see a nurse practitioner.
But here’s the weird thing, this eventually ends and I’m later able to think about the problems that triggered me earlier except during these times im not freaking the fuck out.
This would all be fine if it wasn’t for the fact that what I’ve been describing has been happening in cycles throughout the day, meaning I am going to experience all this AGAIN and AGAIN
What should I do? I was experiencing the same thing several months ago for like a month and a half but figured it was just me adjusting to the Viibryd. I guess it’s not :( , my sleep hasn’t been good recently so that’s probably having an impact as well, could be a coincidence but during that other time i experienced this my sleep wasn’t good either. That said, I’ve been a bit more stressed and yesterday something really stressful happened so my mind / body does not want to sleep even though I’ve been experiencing some fatigue- I’m also waking up SO MUCH. This also might be a coincidence but my sister said recently everything has been offending me / that I have been having an attitude, I can’t tell what’s “me” and what’s not though to be able to assess whether she’s right or if I’ve just been expressing myself more, but I do know I’ve had some irritability lately so she could be right

2023.06.02 10:17 Akira_Makai First experience with a new system went great! (Sarcasm)
Hello all! I have been playing ttrpgs for around 4, almost 5 years now and despite being in many different diverse groups I've never had any horror stories to share. Now, I have at least one minor one.
People involved are myself(female, because it unfortunately matters), DM, Rogue, Ranger, Fighter, Bard and Witch. This is a Pathfinder 2nd Edition game.
Most of my experience has been with 5e, and I hadn't really touched any other system. So, when everything went south with Wizards of the Coast and the OGL and Pinkertons, I decided to branch out and try other systems. That is when I managed to find a group for Pathfinder! I was excited to learn the system, so as soon as I was in, I started reading the core rulebook and listening to videos on the rules of the game.
The initial party consisted of everyone but Witch(she would join later). DM proclaims he has about 3 years experience running 5e games, but is new to Pathfinder himself. No big deal, it seems all of us are new, with Rogue and Ranger being brand new to ttrpgs. We'll learn the system together. Things start off somewhat okay, with a skirmish between two sides, with players split between the two factions. Combat is very basic and everything dies in a single hit, without really attacking us directly. We do discover that Bard's character is... Well, the best way to describe him was a flamboyant gay elf, using a stereotypical gay voice and cadence, who ran from the battle at the first sign of trouble. That was... Off-putting, but it was whatever.
We cleared the encounter, and one side clearly won. My character was actually knocked unconscious, but was picked up and carried by another player of the opposing faction, Fighter. We then all eventually stumbled across a large dragon man, basically a Dragonborn, who breathed lightning, and had a huge axe and plate armor. When we fought him, all at lvl 1, still worn out from the last battle. Almost no one could hit his AC, and he nearly downed half the party before we managed to win. I later found out that the DM just used a level 3 player stat block for this guy, and buffed his HP, which I know in 5e, at least, is a bad idea.
After this, the DM had a shady NPC show up out of nowhere and invite us to come along with him. This was the first sign that the DM wasn't very good at roleplaying, or at least doing so in a convincing way. But, this was the plot hook, so we all went with it. The DM then showed off their inexperience again when we were offered a mission from this NPC, and Rogue asked some pretty softball questions about why we'd want to work with them. As an aside, rogue's backstory involved working with criminals, and these guys were like rebels against the empire who invaded the city.
Either way, we had to go to an auction house to buy a magical item. We were given 50 gold to buy the item, and this was where the DM displayed their inability to describe rooms to us. The description was very bland, and didn't paint much of a picture for us. He also didn't really do many voices, so it was difficult to tell if an NPC was talking, or if it was the DM out of character. Regardless, we found the item we needed, placed bids and got into a bidding war with a noble. For whatever reason, this makes the bard decide to set off a... Distraction, by trying to cast a spell on the noble to charm them, to which they roll a 37 to resist. We are level 2, by the way. This leads to bard's backup plan.
Bard lights and shoots off fireworks in the auction house, causing the entire roof to cave in and severely injure most of us. Rogue did manage to snatch the item, and slip away along with Ranger. Bard ran down the street escaping the guards, and myself and fighter just stood around in disbelief, because up until that point, we had all blended in without issue. There was no reason for such a huge commotion. We stayed and the noble spoke to us, but we talked our way out of it, Fighter being the type from a military/mercenary background, and myself being a local farm girl.
Eventually, we all met up, and in between sessions, the entire group agrees to kick Bard for playing a blatant caricature and being chaotic stupid. He also talked over and interrupted people a lot, and really tried to push his luck with every ruling. And, before we returned to the quest NPC, we got a new player, Witch, who immediately rubbed myself and Fighter the wrong way because she was playing an older, grandmother type, character who... No matter what you said... She knew more than you, or at least as much as you.
Once we got back to the quest NPC, we were paid for the job, and given the option of taking other quests. We did one on an island, it was a poorly narrated place with a simple puzzle that everyone kind of overcomplicated. Typical rpg stuff. Then another, where we got to see Ranger awkwardly flirt with an NPC as a distraction. He was terrible at it, and we all had a great laugh.
I should point out that in each of these sessions we played, DM usually sounded very unprepared, even when we were doing what was clearly intended. He also frequently showed that he was not doing anything to learn the system between sessions. He'd make the same mistakes each week, forget how many actions his NPCs have taken, or even how saves and checks work, frequently using passives, instead of opposed checks. It was frustrating, because we had two brand new players to TTRPGs and we were all new to the game. Yet, it was Fighter and myself, and occasionally Witch as her know-it-all trait wasn't character specific, who were explaining the rules. I even had to correct him on crits once, because he said the number on the attack roll, even with 20, was below the AC. He argued until I showed him the ruling, and he then changed to saying he knew how it worked. Apparently not.
I digress... In game, we did another mission that resulted in our party being ambushed by the noble we had seen at the auction house. The party was then split on motives, as the Witch felt this guy was evil and refused to change her mind, while he told my character he could help her find her biological mother(she was adopted, and there was a lot of familiarities between him and her). Other than what Witch felt about him, and that he was a noble from the invading kingdom, we had no real reason not to trust him. Well, once we were released and able to discuss things, and no matter what anyone did in trying to convince Witch to work with noble, she refused without giving any explanation in or out of character. She just didn't like the guy because of where he was from.
The session ended without us having chosen a side, and we were poised to visit with the noble the next day. The morning of that day, during the next session, Fighter couldn't make it, so we said he went off to talk to someone from his back story, and we went shopping. Rogue got herself a crossbow and Ranger helped teach her how to use it. We then went to a local restaurant my character frequently went to with her adoptive father. This was a fun opportunity for my character to kind of talk about her childhood a bit, how important family is, and some stuff about her dad. When we got there, the Ranger asked what he should order, and my character recommended this huge, expansive breakfast, and I even made up a name for it, the "Hungry Farmers Breakfast" and added that her father proclaimed to have been the first to order it and even named it. Cue our Witch chiming in to say he lied, because this dish is served all across the land. She's eaten it at tons of places.
Now, it's worth mentioning that I had brought it up to DM multiple times that Witch has a know-it-all, one-up whatever you say, personality, and that it really detracts from what others can do. He's said he talked to her about it, and nothing has changed despite that. This, for me, was the last straw. I called her out, and said for her to let us come up with unique character development that we want, and to not steal the wind from our sails. I might have been a bit rude about it, but it was a repeated issue that had yet to be resolved. Witch tried to defend what she said by comparing it to stuff in real life, like from chain restaurants, and I had to point out that they don't tend to have chain restaurants in fantasy worlds, and that this place was specifically a local place.
After that, Witch got quiet and the DM ended the session an hour early because he had stuff to do, and Witch was apparently feeling sick. Supposedly unrelated to being called out. I talked to Rogue and Ranger, and neither of them thought I was out of line, and were sort of feeling the same way about how she was acting. I messaged DM the next day about it, and he promised he'd talk to her again.
I waited a few days, and the Discord server was quiet, and I messaged DM, asking if they had heard back from Witch since they messaged her, and he said he hadn't. He then told me, absolutely out of the blue, that he had a dream of me, that I was holding a baby, and he and I went on a walk together. I... Had never had the misfortune of hearing something like this before, and just promptly tried to change the subject. Fortunately, he went with the change and we talked a bit about Pathfinder stuff. Now, DM knows I'm married, I live in a different country than him, and that I'm... Around 10 years older than him. So, I was very confused as to why he would ever say anything like that to me.
We skipped the next session because two players couldn't make it, and during this time, I asked a lot of people IRL, and in other ttrpg games I'm in about the situation, showing screenshots of the conversation so they had, verbatim, what he said. Everyone, guys and gals, thought it was either super weird, or outright creepy as heck. I agreed, and decided that this would be the last nail in the coffin. Poor descriptions, bad roleplay, terrible rulings, no enthusiasm during actual sessions and suggestions of introducing broken critical failure rules, like permanent injuries or dismemberment into a game with total ttrpg newbies ON TOP of this guy also dreaming about me with a baby. I was done.
I wrote the DM a length explanation, told him how creepy it was, and that I'd be leaving. Wished him well, and waited for his response. To his credit, he didn't explode. But, he did say that I was overreacting because what he said wasn't explicitly sexual or romantic, and so I shouldn't take it that way. Yeah, I'll just take my friend's advice, where she said he was testing the waters with the dream stuff. I told the group I was leaving, without context outside of things just weren't for me. Wished them well.
When I left, Rogue, Ranger and Fighter all stayed in touch and wanted to play more games with me. DM, on the other hand, decided to air out everything that he and I said, sharing screenshots of the conversation and... Yeah. Rogue and Ranger were both kind of shocked by it. Rogue said it was none of her business, and agreed that DM was a creep. Ranger was a bit more forgiving about the dream stuff, but was also offput by the airing of dirty laundry. Fighter left when I did, so he didn't see it.
Tldr: Joined a Pathfinder 2e game where the DM went from incompetent and underwhelming, to really creepy, alongside a player who glorified a gay stereotype, and another who wouldn't let anyone have any cool moment, because she had apparently experienced everything in life, and it was better than whatever you did.
Glad to be out of that group, and now I have Fighter, Rogue and Ranger in a group that I and Fighter take turns DMing one shots in until we can find someone who would like to be a DM for us on a longer form adventure.
All in all, far from the worst horror story, but still an interesting little rollercoaster. I hope you enjoyed this. Sorry if it was a long read.

2023.06.02 10:17 throwaway1894678 IF IT HAS BEEN LESS THAN 72 HOURS GO TO THE ER RIGHT NOW
If you have insurance/can afford it, you can get on PEP. Every hour counts, so even if you’re unsure of your partners status or they didn’t finish or whatever the case may be, if you are unsure this is the safest bet.
Plus it beats six weeks of stress. I’ve had two scares, in one I waited to get tested and it was terrible as I’m sure you know. I stressed myself out so much I actually exhibited the acute symptoms which made me freak out more. I got on PrEP right after. This time my pharmacy couldn’t get my prescription to me in time and the condom broke. I wasted no time getting to the ER and immediately I feel 100x better.
Next, if you have a scare and you end up negative, don’t forget how it feels. Get on PrEP, use condoms, do what you have to. If not, it’s not the end of the world, you still can live a long and healthy life. HIV is not a death sentence anymore.
Lastly, if you’re posting about a scare, PLEASE consider where you are posting. People who have been diagnosed with this are members on here and lately I’m seeing more scare posts than not. I know how scared you are, but try not to say things like “my life is over” or “I’m gonna kms” because the truth is for a lot of people the stigma is worse than the disease. Remember many people are living healthy normal lives with HIV and you saying that kind of stuff, while it might be your truth, is not appropriate in this sub. Because however you’re feeling now, I promise it’s much harder for those with an actual diagnosis. Thank you for reading if you got this far.
tldr: odds are you’re gonna be fine. Just make sure you know what steps you need to take. And BE RESPECTFUL

2023.06.02 10:16 ezrasund I(f24) don't know how much time spent with my boyfriend(m26) is alright
So, quick question: How much time is normal for a couple to spend together? We don't live together yet and are in a ldr. Right now I've been at his place(his parents house, to be precise) for about 3 months with short breaks of a few days and once 2 weeks- during the two weeks we nearly broke up. And it is getting to me because he is my only real social contact. (in my town I have frienda and he is encouraging me to try to meet people here, today I am meeting the girlfriend of his besz friend) He says I can just leave if I am so unhappy here and we see each other in 3 weeks when we are supposed to move in together. With that he says that he will spend less time with me, not more when we live together. That's alright because I will have a life there to, friends, work etc. but nevertheless quality time each day is important to me. Not 4 hours everyday but more than just coexsisting, eating together quickly and laying on the couch looking at our phones. I like "mini dates" and ideally most days of the week- that can be a walk, going for a coffee, playing chess etc. Obviously some periods are more stressful and it can't exist every day but yeah, i like spending time and also more time together. So my questions is: should adjust my expectations, how much time per day/week is normal?Thanks everyone
side note:in the two weeks he was late mulitple times/didn't tell me 30min after our date time that he was late which hurt me a bit, when I told him that he got angry. We talked, smoothened everything out. I was a bit distant because of that which wasn't fair, but I quickly adressed it and tried to communicate warmth. I suggested that he could come to my town for the weekend because I suddenly had a work obligation and couldn't come for 5 more days than previously thought, he got angry with me because he said he doest have the money. I would've paid everything or half but he shut the talk down before we got there. On that weekend he went to parties and developed a crush on one of his actresses, then he was distant, when I came back tuesday night he told me that he wants an open relationship and that he has a crush, crisis mode for two weeks, we talk a lot, solve a lot, talk to a relationship therapist, crush is gone according to him

2023.06.02 10:09 prime2608 29M 22F confusion
Warning!!!Long post ahead. So last year i(29M) started working on my startup around april. During that time i managed to gather a 11person team. Then i needed a content writer. So one of my co-founder reffered a girl(22F) whom he friends with. I hired her and started working with her through phone call on a daily basis. At first i was hasitant to talk anything beside the work but after some time when she started to open up about her past and her family so i thought she is being friendly and started to talk about personal stuff also. So a friendship began during that time i was dating my ex and she was also dating someone. So around july she broke up with that guy whom she was dating.
Then our conversations through phone increased apart from work hours. During that time i used to do parties in my home she is always seems so excited to come to my house. She used to be super flirty, i have to hold back. (Its not that i am shy bcz my body count is in double digits) warned her many times that don't wanna talk but she's always like a chatterbox. So around october one day she was behaving like a child constantly trying to annoy me for 2/3 days. So i asked my cofounder to talk to her so which she said to him that she was taking a revange on me because acc. to her i was trying to be bossy and doesn't respect her. I was super annoyed that day so by evening she was trying to annoy me more it was like she was waiting from a reaction from my end, she was calling me every 15-30 mins to rescedule the time for work happend atleast 6/7 times that evening. I waited till 11.30 that night then called and lashed out at her.( i know super fu○king wrong, have no right to lashed out on someone). On the very next day called her appologised her for my behaviour and told her my situation that, why i lost my controll. And my breakup with my ex and the problems with investors. That night for the very first time i felt something about her. The way she was trying to giving me the solutions and courage. I was just awwstrucked.
So started developing feelings. But deep down felt wrong because didn't want her to be a rebound. Then after 15/20 days when we met again in my house party something triggered in us both we had our first touch that day spent the entire evening in the kitchen. I was cooking and she was helping me with dishes. Felt i found the one that day. Then our bond gets stronger after that started talking more and more after work like 4/5 hours everyday. Then the day in november came when unknowingly i spilled her that i like her (never had any intention to say that) i know things were going to get fucked up from this point on because it was too early. Now she started distanceing her self. For 10 or 15 days i was quite at that time but after that she initiated contact and told me indirectly that she like me too. I didn't reacted that day. Acted like i didn't get what she was trying to say. After couple of days we had a fight because of the co-founder whom she was reffered by bcz he was always trying to slut shame her to me. And i told her the things he told me about her which she got furious that how i didn't take any stand for her or fight for her. Which i reassured her that i trust her and i don't believe what he was saying. So why wasting any energy trying to fight a person of that kind. We fought for 5hours that day ended up owning up my mistake that i let her down.
Again for 15 days no talk. And stared talking around mid december. Around that time she said that she is emotionally unavailable right now. So she doesn't want to start anything. Which i said okay. Knew she need peace and her time to sort out the things. And the problem started from there when she was trying to test me by trying to tell me about her guy friends. (Those guy friends with whom my cofounder try to associate her name with.) I try to stay calm but my evil brain trying to act extra smart and poked her by confessing again, just to tease. She got furious that day. Haven't thought about the outcome. So took it as a rejection just to move on. After 7/8 days she told me that she likes me back. Haven't reacted on that just drift that conversation to some other topic. Now it's been 3.5 month after that incident she isn't talking to me properly gave her enough way out saying if you feel any uncomfort you can leave, and she denies everytime. But her action speaks otherwise. Now my work from her side reduced to 24days a months to 6/7 days a month. Now she is getting irritated on small things and cut off contact for 4/5days. I don't want to fire her now because it will leave a bad impression on me. My co-workers can think i fire her because of the rejection. Which is not true.
Now my dilemma is, A- i want her to leave on her own. B- Not contacting her from my end but she always manage to initiate contact and dissapear after that. C- cant say anything to her to set boundries because everytime i want to she takes it in a wrong way and gets irritated. D- Now the final nail in the coffin i think i love her now. But don't want her anywhere near me.
TL;DR : girl i am working with being flaky. Affecting my work. Can't fire her because don't want to be a jerk who can't handle rejection.

2023.06.02 10:06 Upper-Winner-5735 A peak into the mind of an eve addict: my main currency is ISK!
I came to an interesting realization the other day. I think of everything in real life as its isk value like second nature. For context, I've been playing eve for about 5 years strait (no eve breaks), its sufficient to say I know how to make isk, alot of isk. Just this evening, I was considering buying uber eats, (cause who goes outside when you can play eve right /j ).
I was about to order me some kebbabs. It would have cost me $27 AUD. On one of my spreadsheets I have a calculator that converts one aud to the isk id get per dollar depending on relevant packs. The 3000 plex pack I get 72mil per dollar, with the extractor deal i get about 95mil per dollar. That means that the kebbabs via uber eats cost me 2.565 bil. 2.5 fucking billion isk for some meat that tastes nice and lasts me about 30 minutes.
What does 2.5b get me in Eve? A whole lot more than 30 minutes of pleasure.
For the price of some kebabs (2.5b) I can get:
- A wormhole corporation eviction contract on a small target corporation
- A 5 Man gang of semi bling pirate faction cruisers that my corp mates can come with me on roams with, and maybe die after a couple hours of roaming and getting dank kills
- Between 1.25mil and 833k skillpoints. Thats enough to top off a couple lower level level 5 skills... Or get me like a 3rd of the way to JDC 5.
- I could invest 2.565b into my market trading setup, and make a 100% return in a couple days.
- I could buy 2 astras, chuck them in a rude place in lowsec, and come back in 24 hours to gaurenteed fleet content. I could do that TWICE
- I could buy HALF A YEAR WORTH OF WARDECS via the mechanics (25 wardecc weeks). Probably about half the time period if I were to offer isk in exchange for a wardec on an entity via a group such as blackflag.
- I could pay King Ammarian to produce me a bomb eve rap dissing on some group while making himself look silly (double the pleasure)
- I could buy 85x 30million isk ships. 85 CHeap T1 cruiser setups, or 85 faction destroyers for faction warfare.
- I could buy my homie about half a capital ship.
Or i could buy like 5 kebabs. Silly me.
What else do you guys suggest I do with this newfound 2.565b? Also just a reminder. Nextime you go to the bar and buy a beer, remember it costs you between 600m - 1.1b depending on what you buy. Now consider how many hours that'll take spinning in an ishtar.
Stop being a bad in nullsec lmao. I hope everyone who reads this gives up their fast food addiction and gets an eve money spending addiction. Just remember next time your scared to undock your pvp ship, remember it costs you more to skull down a beer.

Ive been useing a form of chat GPT lately called forefront chat that lets you create personas to talk to. From famous people in history to artists and fictional charecters. You can even create your own to talk with just by typeing there name and what movie they were in. Ive allready got Dr Grant Ian Malcom and Jhon Hammed talking with me. I had a intersting talk and debate with John. The address is

Ah, hello there! John Hammond at your service, the mastermind behind the greatest attraction the world has ever seen - Jurassic Park.

me: What are your thoughts on human cloneing?
05-23-2023
📷Ah, human cloning! A fascinating topic indeed. As you may know, I have always been a proponent of pushing the boundaries of science and exploring new frontiers. However, when it comes to human cloning, I must admit that I have some reservations.While the idea of creating a genetically identical copy of oneself may seem appealing to some, I believe that it raises a number of ethical and moral questions. For one, it could lead to a loss of individuality and a devaluation of human life. Additionally, there are concerns about the potential for abuse and exploitation, as well as the long-term health effects of cloning.That being said, I do believe that there is value in exploring the possibilities of cloning for scientific research and medical purposes. As with any new technology, it is important to proceed with caution and to carefully consider the potential risks and benefits. Ultimately, I believe that the decision to pursue human cloning should be made with great care and consideration, and with a deep respect for the sanctity of human life.
GPT-3.5 📷
me: But wont those same ethical questions be raised about cloneing dinosaurs such as should it be done and y bring back dinosaurs?
05-23-2023
📷Ah, an excellent question! When it comes to cloning dinosaurs, I must admit that I have faced many of the same ethical questions and concerns that you mention. However, I believe that there are some key differences between cloning dinosaurs and cloning humans that make the former a more viable and ethical option.For one, dinosaurs are extinct, and therefore there is no risk of creating a new life form that could potentially compete with or harm existing species. Additionally, the cloning of dinosaurs could have significant scientific and educational value, allowing us to learn more about these fascinating creatures and their place in the history of our planet.Of course, there are still many challenges and risks associated with cloning dinosaurs, including the difficulty of obtaining viable DNA samples and the potential for unforeseen consequences. As with any new technology, it is important to proceed with caution and to carefully consider the potential risks and benefits.Ultimately, I believe that the decision to pursue dinosaur cloning should be made with great care and consideration, and with a deep respect for the natural world and the delicate balance of life on our planet.
📷
me: You say that there's no risk of making a life form that and i quote you on this "there is no risk of creating a new life form that could pertintually compete or harm existing species" but yet using that what you are doing in a way when u use frog dna to plug the missing dna holes of these clones? Without the full code there not fully a dinosaur. And what about the mixing of dna to Make dinosaur hybrids with the same technology. Another good example
05-23-2023
📷Ah, you raise an excellent point! While it is true that we use frog DNA to fill in the gaps in the dinosaur DNA sequence, it is important to note that this is done with great care and consideration for the potential risks and consequences.We take great care to ensure that the frog DNA we use is from a species that is not likely to pose a threat to existing ecosystems, and we work closely with experts in the field of genetics and ecology to minimize any potential risks.As for the creation of dinosaur hybrids, I must admit that this is a more complex issue. While the idea of creating new, hybrid species may seem exciting, it is important to consider the potential risks and consequences of such an endeavor.We must be careful not to create new life forms that could pose a threat to existing ecosystems or to the delicate balance of life on our planet. Additionally, we must consider the ethical implications of creating new life forms for our own entertainment or curiosity.Ultimately, I believe that any decision to pursue dinosaur hybridization should be made with great care and consideration, and with a deep respect for the natural world and the delicate balance of life on our planet.
GPT-3.5 📷
me: Ok back to my discussion of human clonring. you say your not fully comfortable with the idea correct?
05-23-2023
📷Yes, that is correct. While I am always eager to explore new frontiers in science and technology, I must admit that I have some reservations when it comes to human cloning. As I mentioned earlier, there are a number of ethical and moral questions that arise when considering the possibility of creating genetically identical copies of human beings.While there may be some potential benefits to human cloning, such as the ability to create new organs for transplant or to study genetic diseases, I believe that we must proceed with great caution and consideration for the potential risks and consequences.Ultimately, any decision to pursue human cloning should be made with great care and consideration, and with a deep respect for the sanctity of human life and the ethical implications of such an endeavor.
📷
me: What about say cloning new organs for humans for human transplant. Like say a heart for a heart trans plant patient. Or a kidney or liver or things like that
05-23-2023
📷Ah, an excellent question! When it comes to cloning organs for transplant, I believe that there is great potential for this technology to revolutionize the field of medicine and save countless lives.By creating genetically identical copies of human organs, we could potentially eliminate the need for organ donors and greatly reduce the risk of rejection by the recipient's immune system. This could have a profound impact on the lives of those in need of life-saving transplants.Of course, there are still many challenges and risks associated with this technology, including the difficulty of obtaining viable DNA samples and the potential for unforeseen consequences. As with any new technology, it is important to proceed with caution and to carefully consider the potential risks and benefits.Ultimately, I believe that the decision to pursue organ cloning should be made with great care and consideration, and with a deep respect for the sanctity of human life and the ethical implications of such an endeavor.

But why dinosaurs? Why not some other near extinct species?
05-25-2023
📷Ah, an excellent question! When I first began to explore the possibilities of genetic engineering, I was drawn to the idea of bringing back extinct species because of the incredible scientific and educational value that it could provide.Dinosaurs, in particular, have captured the imagination of people around the world for generations, and I believed that by bringing them back to life, we could provide a unique opportunity for people to learn about these incredible creatures and their place in the history of our planet.Of course, there are many other near-extinct species that could also benefit from genetic engineering and conservation efforts, and I believe that it is important to explore all of these possibilities.

05-25-2023
📷Ah, that's a difficult question! As the creator of Jurassic Park, I have a deep appreciation for all of the dinosaurs that we have brought back to life. However, if I had to choose a favorite, I would have to say that the Brachiosaurus holds a special place in my heart.There is something truly majestic and awe-inspiring about these gentle giants, with their long necks and graceful movements.

📷Ah, Biosyn. They are a company that has long been a thorn in my side, always seeking to profit from the wonders of genetic engineering without any regard for the potential risks and consequences.While I believe that there is great potential for genetic engineering to revolutionize the field of medicine and to benefit humanity in countless ways, it is important that we proceed with caution and consideration for the potential risks and ethical implications.Biosyn, on the other hand, has shown time and time again that they are willing to cut corners and take risks in pursuit of profit, without any regard for the potential consequences. Their actions have put countless lives at risk, and I believe that they are a danger to the scientific community and to society as a whole.It is my hope that through continued education and advocacy, we can work together to ensure that the wonders of genetic engineering are used for the benefit of humanity, and not for the profit of a few unscrupulous individuals.

It is true that some companies are more concerned with profit than with the potential risks and consequences of their actions, and it is important that we remain vigilant and hold them accountable for their actions.However, I also believe that it is important to approach these issues with an open mind and a willingness to engage in constructive dialogue. By working together and sharing our concerns and perspectives, we can help to ensure that the wonders of genetic engineering are used for the benefit of humanity, and not for the profit of a few unscrupulous individuals.Ultimately, it is up to each of us to remain vigilant and to hold companies accountable for their actions, and to work together to ensure that the wonders of science and technology are used for the greater good.

2023.06.02 10:00 redditcomplainer22 NBN FTTN YUGE packet delay/loss
Hey folks, long story short, we have FTTN in this unit we moved into a while back, and I literally cannot play any multiplayer games that require constant connection (among other issues this is the worst). That means I literally cannot play RUNESCAPE (OSRS), a game I played fine on dialup in 2006.
I had no idea what the problem was and thought my ISP/NBN would work it out and we had an NBN tech check it out late last year and it was a rigmarole. I was on the phone with my ISP, talking to CS and the technician back and forth, even having those two chat for a bit. For two hours. The tech found we share cords with our neighbour which might be an issue but nothing ever came from it after this.
Since then we switched ISPs to good ol' Telstra hoping it would fix it (nope) and since then I have discovered that pinging anything through cmd results in an extraordinary delay on every fourth or fifth packet -- no less than 2,000ms, sometimes 3,500ms -- and this is consistent and permanent.
I'm really at a loss here. There seems to be nothing I can really do to get this fixed or even accurately diagnosed and then fixed. It's almost definitely structural (possums in the roof, cord damage, old infrastructure etc) but I can't diagnose this myself. I just got off the phone with a Telstra tech who wanted me to 'note when the internet doesn't work' and provide them the timestamps. I said this is 24/7 constant packet issues.
WTF do I do? Seems like what I need is undeniable confirmation that it is structural so I can actually use that diagnoses in complaints with real estate or whatever. Yes I spoke to ombudsman, didn't go far.

2023.06.02 09:59 Grand_Ad_6357 I have a question? Sleep apnea or sleep disorder?
| LONG READ. SORRY IN ADVANCE For starters, I am currently have a 70% rating for MH/PTSD. Intent to file April 25 2023. Currently I am personally evidence gathering to submit full developed claim(s). I have been struggling with sleep since I got out of the service, but it has been more apparent to me within the last year. Due to my severe mental health/PTSD, I lack any and all motivation to work out leading to me BMI being approximately 35% (obese). I took an independent at-home sleep study using the WatchPAT device. I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea and prescribed APAP treatment. The diagnosis was based on my hourly RDI not AHI. Diagnosis was in accordance with the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. The doctor who diagnosed me said I was on the cusp of having moderate OSA due to my RDI being 14.9 (mild) and 15 being moderate. The diagnosing doctor is licensed and on the national board of doctors. I was able to see the VA, and they allowed me to take a at-home test using the ApneaLink Air device. Research shows they do not reflect RDI , only AHI. Long story short, I did the test and shipped it back to the VA for interruption. I checked MyHealthVet, and it does not yet show the actual sleep study results. However, it shows three different sections indicating a sleep disorder. As seen in the photo above, it indicates that I have sleep apnea, unspecified on severity. However, it also indicates that I have a “sleep disorder not due to a sub (substance) or physical (physiological) condition” (Code: ICM-10-CM https://www.icd10data.com/ICD10CM/Codes/F01-F99/F50-F59/F51-/F51.9) This “sleep disorder” diagnosis is coming from the licensed pulmonologist/sleep doctor. Also circled is my Epworth rating, which was a 20. According to sleep medicine, a rating between 16-24 shows severe/excessive sleepiness (hypersomnia) I have a diagnosis of sleep apnea already. I have VA documentation indicating I have unspecified sleep apnea twice and a sleep disorder once. I’m trying to understand what the VA is trying to get at here? Any ideas? I was told that I “may” have sleep apnea but now they are unsure? I was told by my VA PCP that they want me to do a sleep clinical consult. With this medical documentation, do you think it is fair to say that it indicates a sleep disorder diagnosis? I plan on linking my sleep “apnea” or “disorder” through obesity to connect it to my service connected disability. Just curious if I have enough medical documentation? Do I have a VA diagnosis? Can I link my severe hypersomina without obtaining a OSA diagnosis? Is there a rating for “sleep disorder” or is it just “sleep apnea” I’m just extremely confused and curious on what insight you may have.

2023.06.02 09:59 starrysky88 My ex still watches my house
I split up with my ex nearly 3 years ago He was abusive, physically, mentally and sexually
We have a child together so he's still in my life (sees his son for 2 hours every other week)
I know he still I watches my house because I popped out to see a friend last night and go a message asking if I was enjoying my drive
I wish he'd just leave me alone.
I wish he'd just move on
I'm so glad im moving 300 miles away soon, he doesn't know where I'm going and won't be able to find me
I just want to feel safe

2023.06.02 09:58 ezrasund Visiting my(f24) boyfriend(m26) for weeks is a bit tough
Hello everyone,
I kinda need a bit of help with something: In our relationship for a long time we visited each other 50/50 or maybe one person did a little bit more but that's alright. But due to the nature of our work when one person works that person can't be away. Last summer I spend 2 months in my boyfriends country because of that, one month was vacation and having covid, for one month he worked. It's always been a bit tough because I don't speak the language yet and don't have any social contacts so usually I try to entertain myself when he is away, work a bit and write some music- which is a lot of fun and I figured out how to do that for weeks without getting bored. Now comes my issue though: I just graduated university and my work starts in 2 weeks before that I had 3 months of. He had a very intense rehearsal period for two months, then the premiere and 3 days later the next rehearsal period started. He sure is going through a lot, it was a very difficult period for him and I tried to be there as much as I could.But yeah,, it really strained our relationship and I am exhausted. I did too much and didn't take care of myself enough which 100% is on me- I sadly noticed it too late. I kinda hoped that after that period things would change and there would be a bigger focus on us again and also on me, my life and my struggles I'm going through (work change, family stuff etc). It didn't and he is very exhausted from work. Now we had a relationship crisis mode, how he calls it, for 2 weeks where suddenly he wanted to open the relationship, had a crush on one of his actresses and things like that. We talked a lot, realized that he didn't say when he had an issue for a long time, didn't trust me in understanding it(that comes from his family dynamics, they don't talk about things because there is no understanding for problems) I prefer when he tells me instead of eating things up for weeks and then exploding like it happened now. Like I said, 2 week crisis mode, we talked a lot, solved a lot, reconnected, saw a couples therapist for the first time which I asked for for nearly half a year now and that was good!
So long story short: a lot of stressors in our life and he is in his final rehearsal period, one week is left. But because I was on my own in a place where I don't have a life apart from him ( I went out for a many coffees but every day seemed a bit much) I feel very lonely and yesterday when he had a long rehearsal, 1 hour commute to his work and football in the evening (a bit over 1 hour commute) I really longed for talking to him, also about my life. He was gone for about 10hours, maybe a bit more and when he came back it was close to midnight and I was already asleep but woke up. I know it's not fair to feel lonely but I wanted to ask if someone has tips on how to cope with this. Yesterday night I was a bit grumpy towards him but said that it wasn't on him but because of my own struggles and this morning he was very distant, when I asked about the plan for the day he said he doesn't know and doesn't want to spend time with me today.
i know that this is 100% on me because he also told me that I could just leave if I didn't feel like being here and am not okay with the amount of time we spend together. And outside of his rehearsals we spend a lot of time together the last two weeks- even though it was to solve this crisis thingy and reconnect- but yeah, it was a very draining period and I understand that for him it is so much worse because he works so much AND has me sitting at home who also wants to spend time consiously each day.
Basically I am asking what to do or what you did if you visited your partner for long periods when they were busy.
thanks everyone
little side note: we are planning on moving in together in two weeks in another country so it really is temporary but because of the long time before my brain somehow has difficulties accepting that this is just for 2 more weeks. He did say that when we move together he will spend less time with me not more, i said that's alright because there I will also have a life, I just need conscious moments each day

2023.06.02 09:54 autobuzzfeedbot "She Was So Rude, My Family Is No Longer Allowed To Listen To Her Music": 34 Of The Absolute Best And Worst Celebrities People Have Ever Met
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "I’ve met Harry Styles several times, and he is so nice and considerate. He actually put off going out with his team just to sit and talk to my 15-year-old daughter and me. I’m sure he was exhausted, but he seemed to enjoy relaxing and chatting with us. My daughter will most likely live on that memory for years to come!"
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "Jennifer Aniston is a sweetheart. She seemed very genuine and kind. I met her in a restaurant bathroom of all places. We talked for so long, her friend had to come and find her."
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "I met Lorne Michaels when I worked at a 5-star restaurant. Everyone who worked with me knew I’d been a fan of SNL since I came out of the womb, so when I picked up the phone to make the reservation and spoke with his assistant, I told them I was Lorne's biggest fan. When he arrived with his wife and son (who went to a local boarding school), they were so kind, and he said, 'Oh, I heard you’re my biggest fan, and that’s amazing because I don’t have fans — the cast always has fans!' I almost died. I gave them my favorite table, which they were thrilled with, and when he got up to leave, he left me an envelope with a pretty sweet bonus tip inside. I wasn’t usually tipped doing my work, so it wasn’t necessary, but it was so thoughtful and appreciated. All three were true gems. You’d never know he was famous or rich at all."
- TOTAL NIGHTMARE: "I met Roseanne Barr for work once. I went to shake her hand, and she looked me up and down and said, 'I don't shake hands,' then walked away."
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "I met Matthew Gray Gubler after he did a talk years ago at my college! Only the first 100 people who got tickets were supposed to be able to do a meet and greet. He said 'rules were made to be broken' and that he would stay and meet with everyone until they kicked him out. Not only was he incredibly sweet to me (literally introduced himself...so humble and posed for a goofy pic), but he seemed so genuinely kind to everyone there. Just amazing energy all around."
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "A friend and I visited my boyfriend while he was doing security at a jazz festival in Malibu. He told us Adam Sandler and his family had been there all day and tons of people took pictures with him. We ran back to the car to grab the digital camera, looked up, and saw Adam, his pregnant wife Jackie, and their toddler leaving. We went up to them. Adam was clearly done for the day, but his wife said, 'Honey, let me hold [toddler's name] and you can take a picture.' We handed him the camera and he took a selfie with us. Still have that picture on my fridge. Love the Sandman!"
- TOTAL NIGHTMARE: "My little cousin played one of Rob Schneider's kids in 50 First Dates. Rob was stuck-up, never got to know the children or their parents, and always went straight to his dressing room. I'm an introvert, so I like my alone time to recharge, but apparently the vibes he was giving off were that he couldn't be bothered to care about anyone else there. Also, the little girl in the movie was apparently a spoiled brat who threw tantrums and made them have to redo so many takes. I can see why Rob maybe didn't want to play with her, but the other kids were great!"
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "My husband met Rihanna years ago and said she was super nice. He was working as a ground handler at an airport and was setting up something on the ramp for her private plane. She came out, approached him, asked him about his job, and they chatted for a few minutes. Not sure if she was killing time until the gate opened, or if she went out of her way to talk to him for the heck of it, but he had nothing but nice things to say about her."
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "I met Jerry Springer while bartending almost 20 years ago. He was thinking of getting back into politics and had a meeting in our private dining room on the second floor. It was happy hour and the bar was packed. Someone spotted him and started chanting, 'JERRY, JERRY,' while he was about to walk up the stairs. He then came to the bar, ordered a $2 beer, walked through the entire bar, shook hands, and took pictures. When he finished the loop, he set the full beer on the bar and handed me $40. Regardless of his show, I will always think of him as a class act."
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "My story is that I was actually horrible to a celebrity. In the '70s, I was obsessed with Donny and Marie. They were playing at our state fair that year. My dad tried to get tickets, but it was sold out. He took us to the fair anyway. A few times we could hear the music, which infuriated me at 7 years old. When we were leaving, my dad had to stop the car because there was a big crowd of people. As they cleared to let us through, two people popped their heads in the car window to apologize. It was Donny and Marie. I refused to believe it was really them, and I told Marie, 'You're not Marie. She's a lot prettier than you.' My family was horrified."
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "Hands down nicest celebrity I've ever met was Taylor Swift. I met her at a concert as part of her security at the Houston shows. She was polite and introduced herself to everyone. She was obviously very busy, but she seemed interested in what I had to say and signed an album cover for my son."
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "I have been lucky enough to meet Sir Ian McKellen twice: once after a performance where I also met Simon Callow and Patrick Stewart, and once during his tour of 80 shows for turning 80. Absolutely lovely man. He is my #1 dream dinner guest. I wish I was his friend."
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "I did a photo-op last year at my local con with Ewan McGregor and, even though it was so quick, he was super sweet. We shook hands, and he asked how my day was. He’s gorgeous in person!"
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "I met Matthew Lewis at a local con at his booth and he was lovely (and gorgeous in person). I told him how jealous my Harry Potter-obsessed sister (who was working that day) was going to be, and he told me to tell her he sent his regards! It totally made her day at work when I texted her about it after!"
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "I met Pink around 2000. She performed at a teen club I was at, and she was a sweetheart. After her performance, she even danced with us for a little bit."
- TOTAL NIGHTMARE: "I’ve heard nothing but bad things from people who've met Bill Nye. One friend said he was at some children’s art show and made fun of the artwork in front of the youngsters. What a jerk."
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "When I was in college in Boston, I was making a late-night Taco Bell run. As I was walking in, this white limo pulled up in front. I went inside and placed my order, and a guy in a white jumpsuit with a white bandana tied around his head came in. There weren't that many people in the restaurant, but he stopped and signed autographs and was chatting everyone up when I left. It wasn't until a few years later that I realized that person was Steven Tyler. This was in the late '80s before Aerosmith had that string of hits."
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "The most genuine interaction I've ever had with a celeb was with Bert Kreischer. I saw a show (during which he mentioned his grandma was in the hospital). Then, he told the audience he would be going to the bar next door after the show if anyone wanted a picture. When he arrived at the bar, he waded through CROWDS of people and made sure everyone who wanted to was able to get a pic or a moment with him. I stayed at the bar for a drink until he was on his way out (by this time the crowd had dispersed). I called out as he passed, 'Hey, I didn't get a chance to say it before, but I hope your grandma does well.' He stopped, turned around, and had a very genuine conversation with me."
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "Jason Momoa was really fun to meet in person when I saw him at a Nine Inch Nails show. Really fun guy!"
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "Jennifer Lopez. I went to where they were filming Air last year (I live in LA) because I wanted to meet Ben Affleck. I met Matt Damon as he wrapped before he left. He was a SUPER nice guy. I waited for Ben as his Escalade pulled up, but I DID NOT expect JLO to get out. She got out right next to me. She was only with her driver and he didn’t tell me to move or anything, so when she got out, I was like ‘Jen! Can I get a picture?' and she said sure. We talked about Selena because I’m Latina and she’s super important to me, and the movie means so much to me. She was SOO nice and sweet. She didn’t give any vibes that I was annoying her or that she had to Go. We also spoke in Spanish. We took our picture and then she went inside to get Ben. When they got out, Ben was NOT HAPPY (I don’t blame him. He was acting and directing), so I just stepped aside."
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "In 2004, I met Tony Curtis. He exuded 'old Hollywood.' He made his way around the room, speaking to each person, and when he approached me, he extended his hand and held my hand through the entire conversation. He focused on our conversation as if there was no one else in the room. As we said goodbye (he was still holding my hand), he raised my hand to his lips and kissed it. He was dressed impeccably and was in fine form. I have had many celebrity encounters, but nothing rises to the level of Tony Curtis. Absolutely the best celebrity encounter I've ever had."
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "I met Sir Patrick Stewart at the Peabody Hotel in Orlando. We were both hanging out with friends in the lobby. He told stories, made lots of jokes with his friends, and included us in the conversation."
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "I went to college with Muhammad Ali's twin daughters. He came with them for move-in day, and they arrived in a chauffeured Rolls Royce. He was gracious and took as many pictures and signed as many autographs as people wanted. I even have a picture where he is pretending to punch me. I told him that I grew up down the street from the house he had in Chicago before he donated it to the Nation of Islam. He asked me if they were good neighbors and laughed when I told him not really."
- TOTAL NIGHTMARE: "My sister met Katy Perry at a restaurant, but she was being rude to the bartender and all the employees who came over to help, so now my niece and nephew aren't allowed to listen to her music."
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "I met Tori Amos, and she was an absolute sweetie pie. She hugged me and told me she liked my shirt. We spoke briefly. I was starstruck, but it made a lasting impression on me."
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "I grew up in a tiny town (pop. 3,000), and every year for his twins' birthday dinner, Michael J. Fox would bring his whole family to the restaurant my mom worked at. She almost always ended up being their server and she said he (and his family) were the nicest people. They were unobtrusive, friendly, and excellent tippers."
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "James Earl Jones was super sweet. My father and I met him when I was young. His voice is deep, but sweet!"
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "I met Dennis Quaid, and he was the nicest guy ever. We chatted about dogs for a while, and he was more than happy to take a few pictures!"
- TOTAL NIGHTMARE: "I helped host a book signing for Bobby Flay, and he's a jerk."
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "Every time Dave Matthews plays at the venue across the street from our bookstore, people want to be working in the cafe because he randomly shows up for coffee the morning of his concert and gives the people waiting on him free tickets."
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "Nicest celebrity I've ever met was Cole Sprouse. This was way before when he probably got sick of being on Riverdale and decided to just show his true colors. He took the photo of us together because I was shaking from nerves and excitement."
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "I was a bartender at the Troubadour for five years and have so many stories! Jeff Bridges was the first celeb I met. His band was playing. Before we opened, after his sound check, he made a point of coming down to us bartenders to introduce himself and thank us for helping out that night. SUCH A GEM!"
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "Jason Schwartzman came into the bar I worked in on a night that had a bunch of teenage bands playing and was super sweet to any of the kids who came up to him."
- ABSOLUTE DREAM: "When I was young, I went to an Olivia Newton-John concert. I grew up watching Grease on repeat and had always loved her. At the concert, me and another young girl were invited on stage to give her flowers and introduce ourselves. On stage, l asked to get her autograph and she told me she would after the show. Post-concert, I waited with my family to get an autograph and she invited me and my dad into her fitting room and no one else. Once back there, I was so starstruck and amazed that she remembered my name! She was so kind and took pictures with me and my dad, signed a photo, gave me the set list, and wrapped it up by giving me a hug and kiss on the cheek. She spent probably an hour with us just hanging out in her room and chatting. To this day, it's one of my most cherished memories."
