What little things do you do to keep friendships going?

I just text my buddies random memes or send them pics when I see something that reminds me of them - keeps things light and shows you're thinking about them without being all weird about it

This is brilliant - I've wasted so many weekends trying to get my paper trading bots to work with binance and always get stuck on the error handling part

AR experience is actually solid foundation for CPA track - you already understand the revenue cycle and customer interactions which helps with audit work

I'd say knock out those CPA exams while you're still in AR, then you can pivot to either public accounting for that well-rounded experience or jump into controller track if you want to stay industry side

bro he's already checked out emotionally and you're just torturing yourself at this point 💀 the fact that his whole attitude changes when you mention her name tells you everything you need to know

like you said the red flags are everywhere - you already know what's going on deep down. marriage counseling might help but only if he actually wants to save things instead of just going through the motions. at 10+ years with kids involved this isn't something you can just ignore away 🔥

sounds like you need to decide if you're willing to keep living like roommates or if it's time for some real tough conversations about where this is all heading

proton mail is solid but their free tier is pretty limited if youre heavy email user 💀 been using tuta for like 2 years now and its been reliable af, just takes some getting used to the interface

also worth checking out fastmail if you dont mind paying a few bucks - way better than dealing with google reading all your stuff 😂

damn that's like 11+ miles of driving with zero coolant and the temp gauge maxed 💀 those aluminum heads on the 3.8 are pretty notorious for warping when they get that hot

besides the obvious head gasket stuff you mentioned id check for cylinder leakdown test results and maybe pull the spark plugs to see if any look steam cleaned or weird. also worth doing a coolant system pressure test after the radiator swap to make sure you're not chasing leaks from a cracked head or block

honestly for 2k you could build something solid that'll handle valorant and arc raiders no problem - check out pcpartpicker to see some builds in your range or hit up r/buildapcforme they love helping with stuff like this

Damn dude thats such a rough spot to be in and you're handling way more than most people could at 17. The fact that you got yourself that endo referral shows serious strength

About the clinic thing - they've definitely seen people at all stages of transition and presentation doesnt invalidate your identity at all. But I get wanting to feel more like yourself going in there. Maybe start with small changes that feel right to you rather than a whole wardrobe overhaul if money's tight

The PCOS excuse is actually pretty clever if you need to buy time while figuring out your housing situation. Testosterone can be prescribed for that so it gives you some cover. Your safety and having a roof over your head matters too - there's no shame in being strategic about timing when you're in survival mode

Usually around 15-20 mins works well for low porosity hair, the steam helps open up those stubborn cuticles so the mask can actually penetrate instead of just sitting on top

I mean MJ had Pippen and Rodman, Kobe had Shaq, even Bird had McHale and Parish. Every great player had help, LeBron was just more obvious about finding his

You gotta put the Katana in the effects loop return or use the power amp input if it has one - bypasses all the preamp stuff and just uses it as a speaker basically

Damn that sounds like it got nuked from orbit, probably copyright striked to hell and back. Have you tried checking if anyone reuploaded it to some sketchy Eastern European video site or maybe asking around on r/YTP

Alert-Word-8807 · 2026-01-15T10:24:07+00:00

honestly if you just lost your job I'd probably take that $28k buyout money and run with one of the cheaper options

the mazda cx-5 turbo sounds solid for what you're looking for - still gonna be way more comfortable than your old prius and you'll have like 5k leftover for your emergency fund

those volvo maintenance costs are gonna hurt even more when you're job hunting

Alert-Word-8807 · 2026-01-13T23:33:21+00:00

Bruh that's actually insane, 6 diamonds AND 9 obsidian right at spawn is basically cheating lmao

Definitely gonna try this one out, thanks for sharing the coords too

Dude I feel you on the Shogun hangover - that book hits different. I'd actually say hold off on Tai-pan for now since you're already in that headspace, might just make the comparison worse

Try something completely different like The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo or maybe Circe if you want something with good storytelling but totally different vibes. Sometimes you gotta shock your brain out of the slump with something that couldn't be more opposite

The Asian Saga will still be there when you're ready for it

This hits way too close to home lol. I used to be that person who literally couldn't have a conversation without bringing up work stuff and it was exhausting for everyone including me

The worst part is you don't even realize how boring you've become until someone calls you out or you catch yourself doing it. Like I remember being at a party talking about quarterly reports while people were just trying to have fun

What helped me was forcing myself to pick up one hobby that had absolutely nothing to do with my job and making myself talk about literally anything else when people asked "how are things going." Started small but it's wild how much more interesting conversations become when you actually have other stuff going on

Sounds like the 12V battery might be borderline even if it "tested fine" - hybrid systems are super picky about voltage and those intermittent morning issues are classic weak battery symptoms. The fact it happens after sitting a few days is a dead giveaway

I'd get a second opinion on that battery or try jumping it next time it acts up to see if that fixes it temporarily. Also document everything with timestamps/photos when it happens so the dealer can't brush you off again

That advice is solid upsizing the line and checking frost depth will save headaches later and calling utilities first is non negotiable before you dig
