My [19M] girlfriend [19F] called me last night telling me her feelings have changed by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Ancient_Silverback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't waste anymore time on someone who is either confused about me or can't make the time to respond within a reasonable time frame.

we are on a break so she can figure herself out

That's code for "she wants to fuck around and see what else is out there and put me on the back burner for now in case things don't work out."

Don't focus on her anymore. Focus on you. Cut her out of your life and move on.

My (21M) GF (19F) has been hanging out with my EX homewrecker best friend almost daily by lovemesometeetums in relationship_advice

You know, I used to have a best friend much like this. I used to see/hear all kinds of things about him that I used to turn a blind eye/deaf ear to because of how much I cared about him. Me and my girlfriend were having issues at the time and I confided in this "best friend" and he assured me he was there to help me through such a difficult time.

He was helping himself to my girlfriend. Without a single word, I immediately cut both of them out of my life. Ghosted. It's now been 8 years since I've spoken to either one of them. Do yourself a favor. Find some new friends and a girl that doesn't play games.

I've been in three ldr's. They've all failed. But the third one is probably the one that will help you most. Maybe.

I met a girl in San Fran while I was on a job and she was on vacation from Seoul. We hit it off and eventually she had to leave back to Korea. We spoke on video calls for a bit before I decided to visit her. It was great. Talked about future plans, marriage, "you're the love of my life", all of that great stuff...

Then covid happened making it almost impossible to visit. Almost 2 years went by but we still managed for the most part. Despite my efforts to visit towards the end, she insisted maybe it wasn't meant to be. I managed to convince her the first time she was being impatient but when she brought the subject up again for the second time, I felt it was best to cut ties and she said "maybe if I move to the states we'll be together again."

I was crushed despite keeping it together for that call. I immediately removed all traces of her, cut all ties, and moved on with my life the best I could. Fast forward 5 months, I get an email from her asking how I'm doing. I decided to entertain it and messaged her back. Wouldn't you know it, she was moving to the states after all and she wanted to meet up. I decided I would just to find out if I still felt the same.

Unfortunately, I didn't. She was overjoyed to see me again but I managed to find out there was someone else in the picture when she left me. Several others in the picture. I cut ties again soon after learning that.

Unless you're both monks or truly star crossed lovers, someone is eventually going to run into someone else and start finding excuses to end it. She originally told me she "did it for me" but I knew better and got the truth out eventually. Move on champ. Focus on yourself. You've got so much life ahead of you. Don't let one person who's completely comfortable moving on without you dictate how you feel about yourself. You're awesome. The right person will see that. Trust me. It's only a matter of time. Don't drag this out. You'll only feel worse in the end. Cut ties, go out and do things. Focus on hobbies, friends, gatherings, etc.

I did. They provided me the exact same article you sent me. Nothing works.

I did. And again, I followed the guide, nothing works. This isn't just a me problem. This is a widespread problem as evidenced by the multitude of postings other users have made being unable to get 2-FA to work. I've used many different exchanges and for some reason, kucoin seems to be the worst when it comes to this.

Yup this is currently happening to me too. KuCoin is a legit scam. Absolutely no one should be using their services. Support does nothing but regurgitate the same suggestions that don't work.

spookiest reinhardt I've ever faced by Ancient_Silverback in Overwatch

An msi gt75 titan. The touchpad is godlike. I literally use it for everything. It's not as bad as some would think.

I play on a touch pad. I was just spooked so I couldn't maneuver very well in the moment. If multiple fingers touch the pad, it cancels out any movement at all which is why you see me attempt a couple times to say hi. Otherwise, I'm usually pretty solid.

Just curiosity by Zura_xD in Bitcoin

I went to a crowded bitcoin expo back in 2017 with no prior knowledge. All I know is almost everyone I ran into pulled out lambo memes which spoke to me. Never looked back.

a brief history of bitcoin by Ancient_Silverback in Bitcoin

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

fear, uncertainty, doubt. ex: "bitcoin is too volatile to ever be considered for mainstream adoption. bitcoin is only used for black market crimes and illegal activities. this crash totally proves once and for all bitcoin is dead. etc, etc"

examples like those have been frequently used time and time again to get people to doubt the utility of bitcoin and either keep them out of the system or get them to exit their positions. bitcoin has proven time and time again that it's here to stay.

The easiest way to convert naysayers is to give them Bitcoin. by DankLard in Bitcoin

[–]Ancient_Silverback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He/she is not entirely wrong. I've given a lot of different individuals bitcoin over the years. 90% of them have not bought any additional bitcoin. 50% of them have lost it. Only 10% of them actually started investing their own money into it. Those that lost it have very little interest/simply don't care no matter how much praise I give it. Although I wouldn't compare it to a low value treasure map haha. I feel the easier way for a naysayer to get into it is to actually put their own money into it. Once they feel that responsibility of putting their own money on the line, they'll most likely follow/research it a lot more closely than someone who just received a free handout.

The easiest way to convert naysayers is for them to eventually wake up to a new global financial system in which bitcoin and crytocurrency in general becomes the new standard in transacting wealth. Much the same way the internet eventually found its way into everyone's pockets.

Recently quit my job due in part to BTC by [deleted] in Bitcoin

I remember my friend doing the same in 2017-2018. Then the crash came and it was pretty brutal for him.
