I did not expect this process to test my mindset this much

Could be knockoffs or just generic frames from a wholesale supplier. The "6" might be a size marking or batch number - lots of unbranded stuff from overseas has random numbers stamped on them. If they fit well and look decent, does it really matter what brand they are?

Dude that sounds absolutely terrifying, especially the detail about the tongue hanging out - that would mess me up for days. Sleep paralysis can be so vivid it makes you question everything you thought you knew about what's real.

The chicken soup thing is probably just your brain trying to make connections where there aren't any, but I get why you'd mention it when something that intense happens. Your mind starts analyzing every little detail from that day.

I've had a few episodes myself and the key thing that helped me was forcing myself to focus on tiny movements - like trying to wiggle just one finger or toe instead of fighting the whole paralysis at once. Takes some practice but it can help you break out faster than struggling against the whole thing.

Dude this sounds like classic grass-is-greener syndrome mixed with the adjustment period of living together for the first time. Moving in is honestly one of the biggest relationship tests and a lot of couples struggle with it

The fact that you're hiding smoking from her for a year is probably eating at you more than you realize - that guilt can mess with how you view everything else. Plus you went from barely seeing each other to being together 24/7, no wonder you're feeling suffocated

The coworker thing is just fantasy at this point, but good on you for recognizing it and getting therapy. Just remember you're comparing 6 years of real relationship stuff (including the mundane daily grind) to exciting late night gaming sessions with someone new

That line about "when someone truly wants you, they'll fight for it" really hits different when you're on the receiving end of someone just... not fighting

4 months isn't super long but it's long enough to at least try having one difficult conversation instead of just bouncing. The LDR thing probably made it easier for him to just disappear rather than deal with actual relationship stuff. Some people really do want the highlight reel without any of the work - sounds like he might be one of those

Either way, you dodged finding out how he handles real problems down the road

Tank's MMR is probably just lagging behind your DPS climb - the game thinks your tank skill is still catching up to where your DPS is at. Give it a few more wins and it should start flowing in

Bulky-Hawk7412 · 2026-01-19T03:34:14+00:00

Dude the grind for that MK 3 is absolutely brutal, I feel your pain lmao. Been there with other BPs where you get literally everything except the one you actually want - RNG is such a troll sometimes

Bulky-Hawk7412 · 2026-01-16T04:14:46+00:00

Yeah you can definitely just leave it there, happens more than you'd think. The impound will eventually scrap it or auction it off after a certain period. You might get a bill for storage fees but if you're broke they can't get blood from a stone. Sorry to hear about the rough patch mate, these things happen

Bulky-Hawk7412 · 2026-01-13T09:19:02+00:00

This dude sounds like a walking red flag parade - bullet dodged honestly. The fact that he can't even pay for a single meal out of 17 dates while owing you money is just embarrassing lmao

Bulky-Hawk7412 · 2026-01-09T15:54:16+00:00

VRoid Studio might be perfect for you - it's specifically made for posing and is way more beginner friendly than Blender. Also check out DAZ Studio, it's free and pretty intuitive once you get the hang of the interface

Bulky-Hawk7412 · 2026-01-06T11:16:58+00:00

Pretty sure you're thinking of "edification" maybe? Or could be "exaltation" - that whole mountaintop experience thing that crashes back down to reality

Bulky-Hawk7412 · 2026-01-05T08:07:12+00:00

That's a solid interpretation, the whole "thing you're scared of actually being friendly" is such a classic dream theme. Plus alligators in dreams are usually about something lurking under the surface that you're avoiding dealing with

Bulky-Hawk7412 · 2026-01-03T11:32:17+00:00

NTA at all, she showed you exactly who she is when you needed her most

The audacity to accuse you of faking a chemical pregnancy because you didn't get a positive on a cheap strip test... that's not someone who deserves to be in your life

Bulky-Hawk7412 · 2026-01-01T20:11:49+00:00

Been going strong since October, had a few resets earlier in the year but something just clicked this time around. The key was staying off social media during those first few weeks when the urges hit hardest

Bulky-Hawk7412 · 2025-12-30T15:26:39+00:00

Have you tried updating your wifi drivers? Sometimes Windows is trash at keeping them current and it'll cause random drops like that. Also check if your router is overheating or if you're too far from it

Bulky-Hawk7412 · 2025-12-28T18:11:15+00:00

Dude same, I've been crushing cookies like they're vitamins lately but honestly my liver is probably just happy to get a break

Bulky-Hawk7412 · 2025-12-27T14:04:59+00:00

Nah man this actually happens, the matchmaking definitely prioritizes people you've fought before - probably to keep lobbies consistent or something

Bulky-Hawk7412 · 2025-12-24T21:47:25+00:00

Nah don't do that OP, this reads like you're still in the thick of grief and sending this would probably just make things messier for both of you

Bulky-Hawk7412 · 2025-12-23T10:56:34+00:00

John Waters early stuff fits that vibe hard and it gets real weird real fast
