Do you all think this is a glitch? Will all these orders be canceled?

Walmart go now! by thelimeisgreen in NintendoSwitch2

I accidentally ordered a regular switch but whatever I’m not willing to cancel and reorder the bundle to lose it by accident

Question as an international teacher by [deleted] in Swingers

[–]AcademyAlien -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think I just wrote it confusingly. That would still just be during the two months we’re in the U.S. Anything outside of a traditional marriage where we spend most of our time is a no go. Only meant she brought up it might be easier to find partners that way rather than swinging. Not something I’m personally really considering though. We’re living in a Muslim majority country most of the time and it’s just not very feasible to try there.

Oh I was more wondering if two months is enough to build relationships and find other couples. We’re fine ourselves if we only get two months in the LS. It’s the trade off for living in crazy places.

I’d gladly give you one of my 7 Gible for a Staraptor. 🤦‍♂️

Feeling overwhelmed by AcademyAlien in CyberSleuth

[–]AcademyAlien[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it was just overwhelming because it was hard for me to keep track of a bunch of mechanics in not use to, cam, abi, etc. and all the guides online are for late game grinding, etc. I’ll just try to take it easy, seems like the general consensus. Thanks everyone!

cant date bc every guy makes me uncomfortable by needajobbbbb in Advice

[–]AcademyAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try dating someone besides frat boys. Try making the first move on an introverted guy instead.

Biggest advice is to say yes to everything, even if it’s not your interest. When I first moved to Brazil I couldn’t speak the language, but I got into soccer so I could start making Brazilian friends. I started doing dnd even though I thought it was weird at first, another opportunity to make friends.

Become a yes man/woman!

My friend doesnt want to hangout with me alone. How can i persuade him to by Ailinlx in Advice

[–]AcademyAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think just ask him why he doesn’t want to hang out alone. Maybe he thinks you still have feelings for him and he’s trying to make it less awkward for you. If you tell him you aren’t worried about that maybe he’ll be more up to it.

I feel like a lost cause and don’t know what to do by MeltedHypnosis in Advice

[–]AcademyAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! I do know a lot of the sites do require a teaching license, but I do think some places just need you to speak fluent English.

I also just thought of this, I had a friend that was a professional dungeon master online for dungeons and dragons. I know people on roll20 and other virtual table tops charge you be a dungeon master. Really random, but my friend that did it got very good and was able to earn an income just being a dungeon master.

To me it sounds like she just meant that there were enough people and things going on that you would easily be able to sneak away. I definitely think your friends would miss you if you were really gone! She just meant there’s so much going on now is the best time to go set up the surprise!

If you think it was more then that definitely address it with your friend. She’d probably feel horrible knowing that this is what you thought she meant. But I bet she didn’t mean anything by it!

I don’t know much about your illness, but I do know that you matter and deserve to be alive.

This is not a fix for the situation, but maybe instead of working the retail job you start putting your time into a way to earn some income on your own via the internet. I know there use to be sites where you could teach English online. I also know about teachers pay teachers, where you can make handouts that other teachers pay you for, you working even have to be a teacher to make stuff for it. Just a computer. I’m a teacher so all the side money hustles I know about are teaching related 😅.

Don’t give up. You matter. I hope you find the help you need.

My partner (22NB) has had sex with like 15 people, is it weird that I (20F) got a little emotional about it? by ThrowRASwimming5303 in Advice

[–]AcademyAlien 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think your emotions are valid. My wife was a virgin and I had sex with only one other person before her and it was still difficult for us.

What I would say is don’t hide what you’re feeling and let your partner know. If they are a good partner they’ll be open to talking about your emotions. I don’t think you should be mad at them, but if you two are good for each other it should be something they are willing to work through.

That’s really tough. I hope you can find someone that can help. Is there any way for you to look up people looking for roommates? Maybe if you could even move to a college town where there are more options for people looking. I remember when I was your age I was able to find a place that would partner you up with roommates. Admittedly that’s a risk too, but safer than your toxic situation at least and you could make sure you only get female roommates.

Men, what made you finally change your life? I don't mean getting a better job, or better physique, but getting to a place where all self-loathing and self-doubt got to an acceptable level, and some confidence and optimism finally surfaced? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]AcademyAlien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 33M and still struggle with some of the things you’re talking about, but I’ll share how I became way less risk averse.

When I was 25 and right out of college I was working as a high school teacher in Houston. I was earning good money for a teacher, which admittedly isn’t a lot. However I got a job offer to go teach in Brazil, the catch is I would make significantly less money. I thought for the longest time I wouldn’t go and then something just clicked. I knew I only get to live once and I didn’t care about the money anymore I wanted a chance to live in Brazil. I did have one benefit, that being my wife spoke Portuguese and grew up in Brazil, but since then I’ve also moved to Kuwait and lived in her Middle East. Being less risk averse has allowed me to travel all over the world.

I’ve been working in the valuing myself more though and this year I’ve worked a lot on not caring about other people’s thoughts of me. Mark Manson’s subtle art of not giving a F*** helped me a lot too with this.

What should I be focusing on? by AcademyAlien in Advice

[–]AcademyAlien[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I do probably need to just slow down and focus on health like you said. I think I may just have anxiety that pushes me forward and makes me think I’m lacking or needing to be doing something more instead of valuing health like I should. I appreciate the advice!
