In a relationship with a guy for 3 years and finally decided to have a kid.. I figured I loved him and got pregnant out of nowhere yet couldnt go through an abortion.
No matter if I'm single, married etc I am very happy I am a mommy. I did a 180° on getting myself together for this baby.
My therapist expressed single mother hood is hard... I already know that.. my mom raised 3 kids on her own lol I experienced it.
I'd rather just be on my own than in a shitty relationship.
As my baby dad/boyfriend says things will get better with a ring... I know it won't. I've stated everything I don't like and why/how it's not working.
We don't have a strong foundation to even start off. & now (my fault) we have a baby on the way. I fucked up. Idk what to do. My therapist says it'll be even harder finding love with a child since it was hard without one.
I'm starting to really not like her. Yes, everything she says is true but she's technically telling me..convincing me to stay with a man who gives the bare minimum if that.
Any advice for me on finding love? Raising a kid on my own? Co parenting?
Tl;Dr: my therapist told me single mother hood is hard, I won't find love all that easy & I should stay in my current relationship because he has a job. And that 2 incomes are better than 1 and raising a kid on own will be extremely hard and stressful. But I am not happy. And I never was. Eventhough keeping this baby has did me a 180° and I'm the best I've ever been I'm in a relationship with a man who is not happy within. I've suggested he get counseling.. as the gym is good but it's not everything.. healing the inside (mind) will make you become better.. you should know that with working out. I need help🫶🏾

There are a number of reasons why you should use a discreet clit sucker. First and foremost, it's fun to be able to control the vibrator from your phone! You can change settings easily, even when you're not home or in bed with your partner. This makes it easier than ever before to use your sex toy in public (or even just out on the town).If you've ever wanted to try something new but didn't know where to start, this is also an excellent opportunity for self-exploration--the possibilities are endless! It is fun to be able to control the vibrator from your phone.It makes it easy to change settings and experiment with different vibrations.You can use it in public, because no one knows what you're doing on your phone!You can use it with your partner, making for some great foreplay or even during sex itself (if that's something that interests you).

I’m a current senior in college studying civil engineering, with a job lined up post grad as an assistant superintendent. Looking ahead though I want to make my way up the ladder to something above a PM. To get there I realize that grad school is likely something I will need. I plan on doing these classes part time starting after I get settled at work. Currently through some preliminary research my though was to get my masters in CM. But my second thought was an MBA. Just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts on this and which way they think would be best in the future. Also finally would me getting my Professional Engineers (PE) license have a similar effect as a grad degree?Thanks.

I’m exhausted. My heart is destroyed. I don’t want to live this life anymore. I’ll never be happy again. Never. This is my final note to my husband: I know you cheated I know you used dating sites I know that’s why you had the Burner app I know you ended up getting a 2nd phone I know it started in 2015 I can’t believe this is how my life ends. All this pain. I can’t believe you did this. I thought you loved me. You obviously don’t; I question whether you ever did. I know this was your revenge. I know you’ve been leading me to this point. The malicious gaslighting. Trying to drive me insane. Congratulations. 26 years gone. I’ve been with you longer than I was single. I thought we were going to grow old together, that’s what you’ve been saying. Making plans for our future. You asked what would change if you did cheat? You asked what the end result would be. I told you major changes would happen; you didn’t believe me. Surprise! I’m sorry I talked to that guy 13 YEARS AGO! It was obviously not physical because he lives over 2,000miles away. And I talked to him for a couple of months. You’ve been cheating for 8 years, physically. I don’t really know what to say to you. I loved you so much. You were my best friend I thought. Instead you’re my destruction. If I look back i see everything so clearly. The little insults, the attitude towards me, isolating me from my family & friends, keeping my disability checks away from me so that I have no choice but depend on you, the surprise days you went into the office, the nights you got home an hour or so late. My brain can’t handle it. Please take care of my fur babies. Please give my mom or sisters the things I got of grandma’s estate. Please cremate me. I don’t care what you do with my ashes. I’m sad that we didn’t work out. I’m sorry i neglected you through my depression, I’m sorry I wasn’t very loving during those years, I’m so sorry I drove you to find other women. I’m sorry I obviously made you so unhappy. I’m sorry that I talked to that guy. I’m just sorry for everything. If you’re wondering why I posted here it’s because I want everybody to read what you did to me. You can’t claim not to know why. You can’t act like you’re the victim. You can’t gaslight my family like you’ve done to me. Goodbye

So I came into the medical program in January. Had only experienced BM marijuana, and was really excited to get into the medical program as a smoker of 10+ yrs. Finally we will know what strains were smoking, dates packaged, THC % etc AWESOME.
Well until it's not. You buy an eighth and it's garbage. This was ultra surprising to me as i was expecting incredible quality at high prices like this. Realized very quickly that u can get burned by buying on discount. Ok so maybe old bud is the issue. Well not always, I've boughten batches packed within the last month or two that haven't had much effect. So then I realized there's not too much bud over 25% THC maybe that's where the good stuff starts. This was a little more true as it pushed me to try some great strains and realize what brands are able to produce high quality eighths. Still never found any bud comparable to the old stuff I got off the streets!
So I've randomly kindve found good bud when It comes up. I'd say out of the dozens I've tried the only ones worth my time smoking have been:
Animal face - rythm/goodgreen Georgia runtz - float by good blend Grape essense - float Gummies - strane
Legit i haven't had any other bud give me a buzz. I know I have a tolerance but beyond that I have very high standards. So with these high standards I decided to go in depth and mention all the Things I look for to find quality bud:
Smell - It cannot smell like grass/hay it needs to have some sort of darkness to the smell or it'll be trash
Break down - this is a huge early taletell factor for me. How many times I've bought product that turns into dust when you try and grind. I'm a paper smoker and the right consistency when breaking down is key. Looking for a moonsand like texture. Small particules but still moderately sticky that they all stay together. Iykyk
The burn - the most important aspect of the bud. How does it burn. This is where 90% of bud disappoints me. A properly rolled joint is the true test for any bud. Taste should be strong enough to know what you're smoking, not of grass or dirt or ashes. There should be a tickle in the back of the throat. A ton of bud misses the mark in this. It's a particular tickle one of THC and not of shit quality. You will know when your coughing because it's garbage or because of the THC content. Feels like a concentrate hit. The joint should not run if you aren't chiefing on it. It if runs, the bud is overly dry or you rolled really poorly. It should burn at a steady pace. So many times I roll up, only to start smoking and have a 1 inch cherry! If this happens your hits will be very hot and not very concentrated and you will have a horrible smoking experience.
The after effect - how do I feel after. Am I noticably high? I tend to base the strength of bud on the body buzz. Maybe not the best indicator but my mind I feel is so tolerated to being medicated that I don't really notice a mental change unless it's a concentrate hit. For me herb gives a whole body buzz. A warmth. This should last for atleast 30 mins or it isn't great bud. Sometimes I'm happy until I'm done smoking to realize the effects have worn off so fast.
So we have gone through all the factors that make UP a quality bud, what about the proper research beforehand?
Research. We all do it or we wouldn't be here on Reddit. Flowerleed is king for finding the best price/availability when you find the flower you're looking for.... But how do find what flower is the best?
I've came to the conclusion that these three filters are the best for discerning the best weed.

1. Brand - I think this is #1. What brand are you buying? Be aware of the subbrands. There is a subreddit here with the list. Cresco - good green - &shine. Know who owns which brands and what brands are known for doing best. Some may be best for concentrates but horrible for flower.
   
2. Strain - this was one I hugely overlooked and I blame the black market or the past for this personally. I never bought into "sativa or indica" because I always knew there was almost no way to tell, especially for the basic drug dealer. So when he tells me to I got that alien star mints fire extreme, I don't give a care because I know it's some made-up BS. Well it's different now. We know the exact genetics everytime. This can allow u to ultimately find what you're looking for, even though you won't know until u experiment. This is a good point to note that keeping a log of what strains you have tried, and giving them a rating can be very helpful as it's easy to confuse or mix up previous strains you've tried. Search reddit for the exact strain your looking into and see others opinion on it and the effects they experienced.
   
3. Freshness - my third but huge factor. When was it packaged? A question you should ALWAYS ask before purchasing. They will always share the pack date and trust me anything beyond 3 months will kill the bud. I still have a bad taste in my mouth from my one experience with prime wellness. Got their blueberry OG and it was 5 months out and dry as a bone. Turned into dust with little effect. Whereas I'm pretty sure I've bought strane garlic butter at 19% and it was so fresh it had way greater effects and smell/taste then prime. Another point into freshness I'd like to mention is how new did this strain release? This is something I'm finding now, that once you scour and learn the full market it will be apparent when new drops occur. Really annoyed that rise and other dispos don't allow you to filter by newest for their product. Reddit new posts are your best source for this. Check daily, see what people are posting about. I will only go out of my way for a bud when I see 2+ raving reviews about the exact strain from a recent time period. That way I know it's a new drop, it's good, and it will be gone before I know it.
   

So in conclusion, none of the 3 factors above are greater then the others but if you are missing just ONE, you will not have fantastic bud in your hands. Can't be a prime wellness African Thai but be packed 8 months ago. Cant be fresh and your favorite strain but made by organic remedies... Can't be your favorite brand and fresh but it's a low % strain designed with higher CBD inclusion. If found almost like a gambler that when two of these conditions are met it's very easy to hope the third will be when you know deep down it won't be. I cannot stand buyers regret and this market has driven me crazy with it.
I'd love to hear any other contributions to this, or criticism. This is what I have found over the past 3 months and I've seen similar frustrations out there. Hoping to save some money for people who are on the fence about a purchase.

The LEGO Movie Videogame

Genre: 3D Action-Platformer
Players: 1-2 Co-Op (Local)
.
Review:
The LEGO Movie Videogame is a family-friendly 3D Action-Platformer released in 2014 on PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Wii U, with an entirely different game bearing the same title also coming to PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS in 2014, and then to mobile devices in 2015. As the title indicates, this game takes the usual Traveller’s Tales formula for making LEGO videogames and applies it to the videogame based on LEGO’s own major theatrical debut.
.
”That’s My Jam”
In many ways, The LEGO Movie Videogame looks fantastic, with the game’s world looking just as detailed and full of life and personality as the film it’s based on. There are even nice little touches like explosions being made out of LEGO blocks. However, things here look just a bit too neat and tidy compared to the movie, which famously was designed to look like not only was everything made out of LEGO pieces, but those LEGO pieces had scratches and smudges you would expect from real-world use. In particular, the way the game animates is much the same as all other LEGO videogames, when the film made it a point to animate as if everything were a stop-motion animated film.
This is more noticeable due to the game making heavy use of video clips pulled directly from the film, and transitioning from one to the other just does not have anywhere near the sort of seamlessness that you would expect to find going from a computer-animated film designed to look like LEGO blocks to a computer-animated videogame designed to look like LEGO blocks. Often, even the lighting doesn’t look quite right. All of this is fine, it’s just a bit disappointing.
This “not quite right”-ness continues to the way this game sounds, with voice-alikes for all of the characters joining voiced film clips of those same characters. For the most part, these actors do a pretty good job imitating the likes of Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, and Will Ferrell, but occasionally you’ll hear a voice that’s just… off. But of course, it’s a fool’s errand to try to replace someone like Morgan Freeman. Meanwhile, the soundtrack makes heavy use of the film’s central song, “Everything Is Awesome”, but otherwise seems to stick with cheerful synthesized tunes that work well enough, but can seem out of place when put side-by-side film clips of the same scenes that use different music.
I feel like I’m being overly harsh about the presentation here - the game does look and sound great for a LEGO game, but I think that interspersing clips of the films in between the gameplay makes for an odd sorta’ Uncanny Valley situation here.
.
Is Everything Awesome?
The gameplay here once again makes use of the standard Traveller’s Tales LEGO game formula, though this time around the Open-World elements are scaled back somewhat from other recent LEGO games. There are still smaller open areas throughout the game, but these seem like less of a focus, with the game instead seeming to focus on setpiece scenes to match the movie’s plot. Some of these can be quite fun, and break up the monotony of the gameplay pretty well. However, interspersing these with the Open World stuff can make for some odd moments of dissonance, such as one point early on where you’re in a chase scene literally called Escape From Bricksburg, and then once you succeed and escape Bricksburg, you find yourself walking around an open area between missions in… well, Bricksberg, again.
There are other fun little bits of creativity here and there as well, such as finding instruction book pages to build a specific structure, or Master Builders scanning nearby objects to look for parts to build some cool contraption. Again, these elements help to keep things interesting and varied.
Overall, I do think that LEGO Movie does itself a disservice by constantly pushing for players to directly compare the contents of the game to the film, and the downgrading of the Open World elements is a bit disappointing. However, this is still an enjoyable entry in the Traveller’s Tales LEGO franchise, and fans of LEGOs and especially the film will likely find this game to be well worth playing.
tl;dr – The LEGO Movie Videogame on Wii U takes Traveller’s Tales’ family-friendly LEGO game formula and uses it to create a videogame based on The LEGO Movie. This is a solid LEGO game, but I feel like it does itself a disservice by constantly inviting comparisons to the film, when doing so would undoubtedly lead to the game coming up short by comparison. Still, if you did enjoy the film, or LEGO in general, I think you’ll find this game to be a satisfying romp.

Does anyone have any tips on how to stop ruminating Thoughts from coming up and consuming your everyday life? Its a long story, but I caught my wife of 13 years cheating on me, and we have started the divorce process, but I can't stop thinking about her having sexual encounters with this guy, and how it was supposed to only be me (until death do us part) that she had sex with.
I know that they have kissed (because I caught them last weekend in a parking lot near our home), and i know they exchanged very graphic texts about sex (because I have my wife's iPad password and can see everything). I have no proof that they've had sex, but i cant stop thinking about them doing that together and how much it hurts me that it will eventually (if it hasn't already) happen.
Any advice on how to get past these types of thoughts?

I want to start making “how to” software videos and as thinking of buying Screen flow 10 but I eventually want to buy Final Cut Pro for future video creation projects that may not necessarily involve screen recording. What I like about Screen flow is that it will record your computer screen or anything connected to your computer like and iPhone or iPad, and the second feature is that if I include filming me in the video it has a “background removal” feature that works quite well. Does Final Cut Pro have to ability to do both of these thing?

I'm 27 y/o and up until a few months ago my periods were really tolerable. The only symptom I had was breast tenderness. But no crap, or headache or anything like that. It used to last only three days. I don't know exactly when but my periods started to las 5 to 7 days and the symptoms started to get worst.
I get craps, horrible headaches, tummy aches, and I'm low energy to the point that I sometimes feel like my legs are about to give in, I'm extremely tired, moody and alarmingly sad.
I brought this up to my gynecologist and she wants to put me on birth control and I totally refuse. Actually we got into a huge argument because of it. She says she's the profesionales and knows best and I say that this is not normal for my body and I want to know the cause and not just mask the symptoms.
Has anyone else been through something like this? Obviously I'm searching for other gynecologist but I'm afraid that this is not the first time I've got in an argument because they want to put me on birth control... What is it with gynecologist and birth control?

So, here's a little background information. I am 25F with height of 5ft 4in and weight of 109lbs (I lost a little weight because discomfort has made it hard to eat). I had a bilateral salpingectomy on Monday the 13th. I felt like it was a good idea because pregnancy would be hard due to multiple health conditions, and I didn't want kids anyway. Plus, I wanted to get off of oral hormonal birth control since it is systemic and affects other conditions. I do have an IUD that was placed during the surgery, though (for heavy/painful periods; gyno says possible adenomyosis).
Well, I ended up having a pretty bad allergic reaction around the incisions. It's a red, swollen, and EXTREMELY itchy rash around each of the three incisions. I started noticing itching around the end of the first week and it got progressively worse. Monday the 20th, I messaged my surgeon and went to the ER. At first, we thought it was the dermabond, but at this point, it seems more likely I'm allergic to the internal dissolving stitches (this is what the ER doctor told me). I'm on Benadryl 50mg four times a day, Claritin once a day, and cimetidine 400mg twice a day. I'm also alternating between hydrocortisone cream and Benadryl cream. I've even used ice packs to try to reduce swelling from hives/rash. Despite all of this, the reaction still continues to worsen with only slight relief from treatments.
My doctor was the one that told me to go to the ER, which I did Monday. The ER doc said there's no infection so there's nothing they can do (they can't give me steroids since I'm recovering from surgery and my gyno doesn't want it interfering with the healing process). I'm already doing everything else recommended. He just kept mentioning that it is an atypical allergy to have.
I stopped using bandaids and Neosporin a few days ago (in case they were the allergens). I also showered right after I stopped using them to wash off possible allergens. I am, however, using plain Vaseline on the incisions because my skin is a little dry. I've also been wearing just sports bras or lifting my shirt up so it doesn't rub on the incisions/rash and make the itching worse. I am keeping the wounds clean by washing with a gentle saline rinse.
I've been questioning MCAS, so I'm definitely going to push for testing now.
My other conditions include ankylosing spondylitis, interstitial cystitis, asthma, IBS, and GERD. I often deal with chronic fatigue, tachycardia, costochondritis, headaches, and food intolerances/sensitivities. My vitamin and mineral levels are usually good besides high copper and slightly low zinc. I also have ADHD inattentive and major depressive disorder.
Other medications include lexapro 20mg qam, atomoxetine 40mg qam, omeprazole qd prn, digestive probiotic qd, lactase prn, other digestive enzymes prn, zinc 25mg spray qod, and albuterol (haven't needed my rescue inhaler for a few years though).

As I pick up more vocabulary, I am starting to notice patterns. It helps me remember words if I know how they're built, and makes it easier to puzzle out new words.
Here are some that I've noticed, and what I think they mean. Correct me if I'm wrong, and add more!
-ság / ség : goes on adjectives (and verbs?) to make nouns. Similar to English -ness or -tion. Examples: gazdag (rich) -> gazdaság (economy), boldog (happy) -> boldogság (happiness), segít (to help) -> segítség (help)
-atlan : negation to form an adjective, similar to English -less. Examples: gond (care) -> gondatlan (careless), haj (hair) -> hajatlan (hairless)
-ós : goes on verbs to make a noun meaning "one who does [verb]", similar to English -er or possibly -ist. Examples: tud (to know) -> tudós (scientist), pirít (to toast) -> pirítós (toasted bread)
-ítő : I'm less sure about this one, it appears in one of my favorite Hungarian words kézfertőtlenítő (I just love saying that) as well as in légfrissítő (which is air conditioner, I think?). So I think it means "thing that does [action]" as in, thing that makes hand sanitized and thing that makes air fresher.
-gép : means machine, appears in Duolingo favorites such as repülőgép (airplane, literally "flying machine") and számítógép (computer, literally "calculating machine").

I’m 35 F, single, and think I’m ready for a child. I never have luck in relationships, and I’m done searching for a partner before I have a child (that would be the ideal situation) So I’m starting to look for a sperm donor I like and getting myself into shape/healthy before I start anything.
Everyone is telling me how hard single parenting is, and its something I’m preparing for, but I want to know what makes it so hard, so I can think about those issues, and maybe pre plan in advance (for example, I know I have family members close by who will be there for me when I need them)
I’m not overly familiar with kids, my siblings have some but they live in other areas of the country so I never see them, but I know I want one, so really, anything you can let me know, I greatly appreciate it.
Thank you 😀

I just got shown A Little Piece of Heaven and I literally LOVE the song, so do Avenged Sevenfold have any similar songs I'd like as I've not heard much by them before? and if not can you recommend anything similar from other artists? :)

2018 Ford Escape Ti, 117k miles, 2L eco.
So this has been going on for a while and I'm not sure what to do next. I have a variety of small issues that I don't know if they are connected are not. They include:

1. The engine auto stop hasn't actually stopped the engine in a very long time. I know there's some sort of voodoo that it figures out before it will stop the engine, but in places where it used to stop, it no longer does.
2. Remote start, either from the app or from the fob, is hit-or-miss. Sometimes it will work, sometimes the lights will flash a couple times, it will turn over once, then stop.
3. The car sometimes dings when I get inside, sometimes it doesn't.
4. The Sync3 system will not update.
5. Sometimes the seats will not move to where they are supposed to when I get into the Escape. When I hit the button it works so I'm not sure this is an actual problem?

I have replaced the batteries in the fobs. I took the Escape to a parts store and they checked the battery and said it was fine. I'm not sure how to proceed. Any suggestions?

Man. I just found out that my stbxh cheated on the woman he was cheating on me with. I mean I guess we are all expendable, so why not? He had a girlfriend for almost two years while we were married. AND he cheated on his girlfriend (and obviously me) one time with one person and seven times with another. I can't even put my emotions into words.
How? How shitty must your self esteem be to justify this? This is a level of low I have never dared to enter.
I am starting the paperwork on April 16. This is BEYOND. It's just pain on top of pain. On top of more pain.

The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame

Genre: Open-World 3D Action-Platformer
Players: 1-2 Co-Op (Local Split-Screen)
.
Review:
The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame is a family-friendly Open-World 3D Action-Platformer released in 2019 on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. This is the yet another entry in Traveller’s Tales’ long-running LEGO crossover franchise of family-friendly 3D Action-Platformers, with this game naturally following the events of The LEGO Movie 2.
So... okay, this game isn’t a complete disaster. While The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame is one of the worst-reviewed mainline games in the LEGO franchise, it does have its redeeming qualities. Having said that... yeah, this is rough.
Let’s start with the positives. First, The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame makes smart use of an element from [LEGO Worlds](LINK), the ability to scan items and build them. It then works this into the franchise’s usual “build something to solve a ‘puzzle’ to progress” way of doing things by having a pretty obvious square platform where you’re clearly intended to build something, a nice visual shorthand. Also, this game starts you out in its Open-World immediately, not forcing you through some starting linear level before setting you loose to explore.
Yeah, that’s... that’s about all the positives I have to say here. I mean sure, yes, this game does once again reuse the standard Traveller’s Tales’ LEGO 3D Action-Platformer formula, which at its core is still good, it just does so in a particularly awful way here.
Just moving around in this game feels like you’re walking through molasses, like you have to struggle a bit before you can get some momentum going. Why Traveller’s Tales felt the need to do this when movement was perfectly fine in earlier games, I have no idea, but it makes everything in this game more of a slog. This slowness extends to the game’s vehicles, which absolutely fail to convey any sense of speed.
However, what ultimately feels like this game’s biggest fundamental flaw is the absolutely joyless presentation. It’s not even just that the film’s all-star voice cast has been replaced here with awful stand-ins that sound drastically different from their film counterparts, it’s that the LEGO franchise’s signature humor is missing here, replaced with bog-standard, boring, task-focused writing that particularly feels like a betrayal of the wonderfully witty film this game is based on. Add to this 3D visuals that seem unpolished with a fair amount of pop-in and some frustrating camera issues, and you have a game that at times seems to want you to hate it.
Just what the heck went wrong here? The previous game in the series before this was [LEGO DC Super-Villains](LINK), a title that I felt was one of the high points in the franchise! That game was absolutely overflowing with personality, polish, and great gameplay that progressed the series. How the heck did we go from that to this!?
When I felt like I had played enough of The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame to review it, I shut it off in disgust. This wasn’t merely a fatigue of the LEGO games that may have seeped into my feelings on many of the other games in the franchise, this was a genuine dislike for the game. Virtually every other console game in the series, I could see myself at least playing for a bit to kill some time, but the thought of spending more time with this game repulses me. Good job guys, you wrecked it.
tl;dr – The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame is yet another game in Traveller’s Tales’ family-friendly franchise of LEGO Open-World 3D Action-Platformers, but something went very wrong this time. Frustrating and sluggish movement and a joyless presentation make this one of the hardest games in the franchise to enjoy, even if you’re a fan of the film. This game does have its redeeming qualities, but there are more than a dozen better games that play exactly like this one does, but better. With that being the case, I suggest you play one of those games instead.

Grade: D+
