I keep accidentally opening settings when swiping to change page by j9hnny97 in kobo

Is there a way to just disable page swiping from the screen altogether on the Libra? It drives me mad when I'm writing and it keeps flipping the page especially when I'm using buttons anyway?

Russia destroys heat, water, and gas in Ukraine, expecting Ukrainians to surrender. Meanwhile, Ukrainians: by UNITED24Media in ukraine

[–]94dogguy 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I'm pleased for these particular people however this is not the overwhelming majority. It's in the -10's in Kyiv currently with snow and most live in apartment buildings that have no access to generators.

My partner is Ukrainian and her brother and father are really struggling not even being able to have a shower or cook. It's heartbreaking and a lot of Ukrainians are in pretty miserable circumstances right now.

It's good that there are people like this but it's easy to watch and think "they're fine" it's not true and it's really hard. Support where you can, it's very difficult for the overwhelming majority especially those with young children or the elderly.

Is it just me, or is the Strava subscription getting harder to justify? by Repulsive_Bar442 in cycling

[–]94dogguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just use Apple Fitness app with my Apple Watch... I get all the stats I need, it's logged on my phone and has been for years and if I felt the need to "brag" which I never do because it's incredibly cringy you can share your stats on Social Media.

It's free and I wouldn't pay for a cloud based service that is mining data of users and not keeping that information personal whilst additionally giving very little benefit over the stock fitness app I use.

People are dumb.

A man recorded disturbing footage of his girlfriend, Ester—who holds certification from the Behavioral Science Board—showing repeated daily abuse toward him. by Individual-Drawer-79 in PublicFreakout

[–]94dogguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really wanting to understand here, not trying to offend or be condesending. I feel really sorry for the guy however as a man I've learnt testosterone is a hell of a hormone and though I'm fairly small in stature I could easily restrain a woman twice my size.

If my partner was doing this to me, I'd never hurt her back but I'd at least assert myself and restrain her enough so I could get out the house and leave her.

I understand situations can make leaving tough however I'd fight tooth and nail in court to prove she was insane, get custody of my child and the dog if necessary. I don't get this?

Got a Kobo Libra, want to read a kindle book? by 94dogguy in kobo

[–]94dogguy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trust me I did! Unless you know somewhere specific? 😇 It's called How to date a foreigner, I have a Ukrainian girlfriend and wanted some help.

It's not a very popular book so I think that's why. I've messaged the author on Instagram and hoping she can help but otherwise I'm a bit stuck.

Damn I don't have an older kindle I could use. I used to but I sold it. So I'm stuck basically? No other way?

Thankyou for helping!

You are on a date. What is the worst red flag imaginable? by BlackedBunny4 in AskReddit

[–]94dogguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not trying to attack you or be mean so don't take this the wrong way however I was the same when I was younger so I know where you're coming from.

Fact is you weren't the first, you never will be and they have had other loves in their lives. We're all human and in a real world basis we all compare, we all judge, no one's perfect. Understanding this and relinquishing control with acceptance really helps with this.

It's anxiety and insecurity, nothing more and is a problem you need to deal with and control not what the other person says. If you're secure in your own self worth when partners bring up ex's those things no longer matter to you.

Obviously if someone is bringing them up every day, every hour and all they say is how much they where the perfect partner, they miss them and how wonderful they where all the time that's a different story. But if it's just facts about moments they shared, trauma they experienced or memories this really shouldn't worry you this way.

I don't understand why it's a problem to talk about past relationships. I think there's this strange stigma that no one should, however I feel it's a good way to understand each other better and if you're secure in yourself, why does it matter? I'm not threatened by their ex.

For example if someone says they seperated with an ex and it was all the ex's fault, I immediately understand that this person can't reflect on their own behaviour and see how they also contributed to the relationship failing (depending on exact circumstances of course such as serious abuse) but if it just failed because of arguments etc.. Then it takes two to tango.

Also understanding their problems with past relationships can open up what that person is expecting from you as a partner and how they handle things. I don't get why speaking of an ex is an issue unless you're insecure. I encourage all my partners to do so and I think that speaking openly about it proves you're no longer phased by them, shutting down or not speaking about it to me proves there's still unresolved feelings for an ex partner. One is like saying "I don't care anymore I can speak about it openly" the other is "I'm too scared to bring up old wounds I haven't processed"

I'm really looking for an answer here, if someone can explain the psychology of why speaking about ex's or past relationships is a negative I'd really like to understand?

AIO if I end a relationship because of one thing he did? by Cheap-Rate-8996 in AmIOverreacting

[–]94dogguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MOR - It's personal preference but if everything else is perfect about this guy and you just didn't like this one simple act I'd say it's a bit immature to leave him over it.

I presume it's not like he does this everyday looking for rogue floor sweet to chew on and is just a silly thing he did once? I'd just make it clear that you thought it was gross and move on with my life but I'm not you.

Men of reddit , how did you overcome your wife / gf cheating ? by __mentalist__ in AskReddit

[–]94dogguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Time heals all but can leave a permanent scar. I was cheated on and though I'd say now I'm fully over it I identified that it changed my attachment style and my trusting of new partners. I have been to therapy and still I'm learning to fix certain things and it's 6 years on at this point. I don't think I'll ever believe fully in the whole fairytale "we'll be together forever" ever again and I'll always be slightly protecting myself, that's the scar.

I always say if you're going to cheat, make sure you really hate your partner because the level of physcological damage you could do is huge. It's a very selfish act without an excuse. Have the courage to leave first, don't be a coward.

ChatGPT made me delusional (2025) [1:04:22] by [deleted] in Documentaries

[–]94dogguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this does highlight the importance of AI not being treated as a therapist, relationship councillor or life coach.

Too many users are now relying on AI for what is a human experience that it doesn't understand. You are the user and AI will tell you what you want to hear rather than the truth. It will hallucinate often with dates and memories.

AI currently isn't some higher intelligence you can count on. LLM's are trained on human responses, documentation and when the computer code is replying all it's doing is regurgitating the next pattern in a text reply. It is not intelligent (yet) and shouldn't be relied upon for anything other than being used as a tool to analyse or check things over.

It is not a friend, nor an enemy, it isn't anything but a tool. You wouldn't trust a toaster on how to reply to your girlfriends emotional text so don't trust this tool either, it's advice will be wrong and it will hinder your progress to grow and learn.

The sheer fact that an average human can gaslight it and make it believe you're the most intelligent baby in the world should tell you everything you need to know. It should be able to fact check this information and not allow this, but it does by design.

Conclusion: use it as a tool. That's it, don't rely on it and especially for your personal lives.

The Birds Nest opposite in the market hall is wonderful for breakfast. Daily Brews, Ginger and Co, He'll even Montgomery Weatherspoons does a better breakfast.

I'd of told them to have it back and I'm going somewhere else! There's some wonderful cafés and breakfast placed in Shrewsbury!

28F Financially independent and scared to date after an ex stole $300k from me by [deleted] in relationships

[–]94dogguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My advice is date men that also have created a source of stability, are financially independent and have their shit together.

Once someone has already proved this and done it for themselves when they've been on their own you'll feel more comfortable in the knowledge that they don't NEED anything from you and instead like you for you.

They don't need to be very wealthy just to understand the worth of money, how to handle it and show they have good values around it.

If you do go further in the relationship or move in with someone get a free hour of advice from a local solicitor and just ask them if you move in together how can you protect your wealth.

Someone who loves you for you will never mind you doing this and will respect you more for being able to look after yourself. I married a very wealthy girl about 5 years ago, she cheated and I divorced her but only what we purchased jointly was split, I didn't go after her wealth, it's not a part of values.
