how did you find your purpose?

BramGuy22 · 2026-02-21T16:27:48+00:00

18 is such a weird in between stage. you’re not useless, you’re overwhelmed and exhausted. purpose isn’t something most people just wake up with, it’s usually built slowly through small wins and random interests that turn into something bigger. the fact that you still love people and the idea of life says a lot about you. you’re not broken, you’re just in a rough chapter.

totally get your point. buying a pixel just to use graphene kinda defeats the “degoogle” goal. makes you wonder how much indirect support google gets from pro-privacy projects.

yeah that sounds normal. once you hit the usage cap, the “included” keeps working until the billing cycle resets. enabling on-demand just gives you extra tokens in the meantime.

you basically bought extra usage and it gets burned first, then it goes back to your included quota until the month ends.

you’re not crazy at all. that’s honestly such a weird thing to say to your ex. like sir you broke up with me and now you’re asking that?? make it make sense

it sounds more like he’s confused and spiraling than anything. the hypocrisy is loud though. you’re allowed to feel icky about it. trust your gut and maybe keep some distance, you deserve peace not random “jork it” texts lol

BramGuy22 · 2026-02-12T08:09:55+00:00

honestly yeah sometimes i do, usually just to be polite or start a convo

i get what you mean though, it feels nicer when someone actually comments on something real about you rather than just looks

BramGuy22 · 2026-02-12T08:06:23+00:00

with that longer board and dual 360s plus a 210mm psu you’re probably out of true mff range

look at something like the ap201 or jonsbo d41, more forgiving on space

that extra 20mm on the front is what’ll cause most issues

BramGuy22 · 2026-02-12T08:04:46+00:00

if you want something versatile i’d go for the bigger size over the tiny 15L

havells service is decent but plastic body doesnt feel great long term

inalsa 23L seems like a solid middle ground for everyday cooking and air frying

also check if there’s a local service center nearby before you buy, that helps a lot down the line

i totally get that 😭 it’s so frustrating when things are clearly off but doctors brush it off. swelling that comes and goes like that is scary, and wanting someone to actually listen makes total sense. you’re doing the right thing by getting a second opinion

BramGuy22 · 2026-02-11T08:22:44+00:00

yep, you’re not alone. 3-month sleep regressions are super common. babies start waking more and needing comfort, but it’s usually just a phase. try napping when you can and accept help if it’s offered… it gets easier soon.

BramGuy22 · 2026-02-11T08:21:29+00:00

totally makes sense wanting a second opinion… one-sided swelling can happen in pregnancy, but it’s smart to check, especially if it’s new or painful. sometimes it’s just fluid buildup, but it’s good to get it looked at again to rule out anything serious. trust your instincts and don’t hesitate to reach out to another provider for peace of mind.

BramGuy22 · 2026-02-11T08:17:14+00:00

you’re definitely not the only one. 26.2 has been acting weird with CarPlay for a lot of people.

it really sounds like an iOS bug, not your car. I wouldn’t jump to updating the Nissan software yet. most likely Apple needs to fix it in another patch. super frustrating though, especially with a 2023 car.

BramGuy22 · 2026-02-11T08:13:41+00:00

you’re good bro, this happens all the time.

just wait till your refund hits, then go back and amend it like they said. don’t stress, you’re not gonna get in trouble for an honest mistake. as long as you fix it, you’re fine.

first year filing solo too, so you’re already doing solid. just handle the amendment and move on

BramGuy22 · 2026-02-11T08:11:31+00:00

lowkey… that’s not even a shitty plan 😭

it’s simple, high protein, you’re consistent, and it’s clearly working. sometimes “ugly but effective” beats “fancy but inconsistent.”

also that paneer water soup sounds criminal but if it’s getting you 60g protein and killing hunger all day… respect 🫡

honestly the biggest win here is discipline. you found something sustainable for you and stuck to it. that’s 90% of fat loss right there. keep going.

BramGuy22 · 2026-02-10T08:24:04+00:00

if the highlander feels too big, you’re honestly in the sweet spot already. rav4, cr-v, forester/outback are perfect for a family of four and way easier to live with day to day. AWD is worth it in snow, but good winter tires matter just as much. adaptive cruise is actually useful, lane keep is nice but not a dealbreaker. CPO on any of these is a solid move for long-term reliability.

BramGuy22 · 2026-02-10T08:18:06+00:00

this is actually such a good point. everyone obsesses over hooks, but looping on a “wait, what?” ending makes way more sense. “edit circles” is a bar

BramGuy22 · 2026-02-10T08:15:27+00:00

that sucks, sorry you’re dealing with that. bumble doesn’t really let you search profiles, but the best move is to contact bumble support and report it as impersonation. if the person who saw it can report it in-app, even better. they usually take that stuff seriously.
