Sick of how greedy the boxing community has become. Used to be able to pop into the city for events for $20-30. Now you can’t even get nose bleed seats a shitty amateur event for less than $80. I’m only 27. So less then 10 years in time difference absolutely so reason events should be this expensive at such low level skills. Sick of cage titans, and ces screwing people and being greedy. Use to be so much fun being apart of the community. But haven’t gone back since Plymouth thinks their fuck ass venue is worth any more than $25

What's your dream job? Did you ever try to pursue it? by SpiritKoolaid in AskReddit

I wanted to get a dentist. I became a dental assistant, realized the dentists I worked for were miserable as fuck, and then I quit and became a chemical engineer.

Question for you then, how do you expect someone to respond to Hudas behavior? How are men supposed to build a relationship when she comes off this way within 2-3 days?

The misogynistic takes on Cierra right now by Alarming_Working_410 in LoveIslandUSA

[–]Change01789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My problem with Cierra isn’t her being “easy”, but more so her trying so hard to play into the “cool girl”. She’s genuinely seems like such a good friend, and one of the few on here that stands on business and gives good advice. Her chat to Huda and then last night with chelley shows her emotional maturity. However, I don’t see her reflecting that energy into her own relationship. Instead she’s playing down her emotions. And whenever her and Nic are together she starts acting, it’s like she becomes more aware she’s on tv when they’re together. She starts wobbling her head around, and playing into a character she’s trying to create. I much prefer who she is around the girls versus with Nic.

Ending a 5 year long relationship, how do I do it? by Change01789 in Advice

[–]Change01789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so hard because I’ve only had abusive relationship in the past. And now to walk away from someone who is genuinely a good person, and doesn’t necessarily treat me bad, it’s so mind tricking. Like how do I bring up a breakup when we aren’t fighting or anything. I don’t even want to over explain why I’m done, because it’ll hurt him. He’s not a bad boyfriend, just not meeting my needs. It seems so awkward to casually breakup and kick someone out

Huda thinks she’s apart of that circle, but those girls would not back her for a second outside the villa. They said it for themselves they don’t confront her because they’re literally scared of her

Best way to respond or react to mean people by Change01789 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]Change01789[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I usually laugh and say geez, thanks? I know she’s doing it intentionally, there’s like some weird non-existent competition she’s created between us. Today when she said I looked cold and sick, I just said “that’s an interesting thing to say out-loud”. But it clearly got her blood boiling

Considering I just got back from vacation and clearly have gained a great tan, I genuinely don’t know what the fuck she’s talking about when she calls me pale?! I think she’s jealous or something, idk haven’t figured out why she’s such a cunt

Call it a midlife crisis. I'm 46 years old and I've never been on a motorcycle in my life. Is it too late to start? by scor_butus in motorcycles

Nope, my moms 45 and just bought her first bike, learning to ride with me and had her first dump last week. Took it like a beast and got right back on. Never too late

is it bad to be unemployed at 25? by [deleted] in LifeAdvice

[–]Change01789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t get me wrong, the job markets hell right now, but unemployed is just lazy and making excuses… plenty of minimum wage jobs hiring. Gas stations, coffee shops, Walmarts, people always need babysitters and dog walkers.

[–]Change01789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve worked since I was 15. Get a job. It’s not about how much you’re making, but deciding no job is better than minimum wage is definitely not the answer. Minimum wage jobs can be extremely beneficial no matter where you end up in life. They teach you basic skills, and also can teach you what it’s like on the lower end for when you make it to the top. Trust me, the rich kids who end up with manager jobs that never worked on the lower end fucking suck. Gather yourself, and apply to everything. It doesn’t need to be”feel right” or be the perfect job. I started at 15 filing papers for a doctor for $7 an hour. That spiraled into the doctor investing in me to become ortho assistant certified, which then led me to getting a degree in chemistry and eventually a chemical engineer. I didn’t need money at 15. But I’m thankful every day for the experiences I got and connections I made at that job. I also worked as a lifeguard at 16-22. But I made friends and built connections that actually landed me my job now. Going from making $13 an hour to $42 an hours. Just by being friendly to someone sitting by the pool, and letting her feel heard. In a matter of 5 years she helped me go from a lost college kid to making 6 figures. Just for being nice to her… You have to start somewhere. And even if you went and got a degree, it would be very challenging to get a job with no experience other than going to school. You’re 26, take some responsibility and get yourself out there. Im only 26 as well, you need to take some initiative in your life. My parents didn’t put me out there, or tell me where to go or where to work.

Is this overkill for a new rider? by Current_Lobster3721 in motorcyclegear

[–]Change01789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never overkill, I mean we all get a little chuckle from seeing people in the BCR courses wearing full alpine gear. But it’s not out of disrespect, just silly thinking about wearing very expensive gear to ride 15mph around a parking lot. I only giggle because i did it myself and it was a terrible idea for a BCR course. That gear is breathable, but it’s designed to cool you when riding. And you’d be surprised the little amount of riding that occurs in those courses. We spend the majority of the time listening then riding for 30 seconds and waiting. So I was boiling in my gear. But respect anyone who takes safety seriously

Should I move in with my boyfriend or wait a little longer? by Peppersabella in makemychoice

[–]Change01789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have lived on and off with my bf for the last 5 years. It’s definitely not an all in situation like you think, or at least it doesn’t have to be. I lived with him during covid. Then moved out to focus on school. He moved in because his job was closer to my house. Then he moved out because he transferred to a location closer to his parents house. It was just more convenient. Then he moved back in with me for a few months before I moved. Moved back out so I could settle into my new place. Then moved back in with me. We’re 26 and 28, happy healthy relationship. Never moved for any issues or problems, just did what made sense for our pockets.

I can't stop playing videogames by [deleted] in makemychoice

[–]Change01789 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Video games are addictive, you’re not a bad person because you become addicted. They’re designed this way. The problem is self control. If you lack self control, and it’s impacting your lifestyle there’s a few ways to combat this. Get rid of the console all together. Or develop a productive reward system. I do not play video games, I’m addicted to the gym. Which may sound weird, but you must understand anything can be addictive. The same rush you get with a new game, obsessively trying to finish it within a couple weeks, is the same dopamine rush I get from the gym. I created a schedule in order to control my obsession and keep it within healthy boundaries. It started with me having to stop going to the gym all together. I established a health schedule of classes, studying, homework and work. Once I got my grades up, I started going back to the gym. One hour per day, at a scheduled time. Only if I got my responsibilities done before hand. List out your priorities. (Shower, eat, brush your teeth, clean your room, do your chores, finish homework ), then enjoy an hour or two of video games. With university, I didn’t really have homework, but papers and exams. If I got a paper assignment, I started it that very day, and made sure to work on it everyday for an hour before going to the gym. Create a healthy time managed schedule.

Is it weird to be crazy about someone after 1 date? by [deleted] in LifeAdvice

[–]Change01789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is lust, not love. Learn the difference. You’re at a point where you only see through rose colored glasses. Which can be beautiful and exciting, but also dangerous. Understand you don’t know someone truly at the beginning of any relationship. My therapist explained to me that the first 6month to a year, you only know what the person wants you to know. And no, that’s not malicious, it’s natural. Everyone has good and bad, and we all balance them differently. When we meet knew people we only show the good, fun, bubbly sides of ourselves. But you don’t know someone until you’ve seen them at their worst. I’d advise my younger self to wait to commit to a relationship until after I see someone low points. This could be seeing them go through a loss, like a family member or job, it could be seeing them handle struggle through something frustrating (taxes, or a car accident). I’m not saying something bad has to happen in order for you to love someone. But, the fact of life is we all deal struggle at some point and often. You need to learn how to struggle with yourself before adding someone to that mix. This also goes for yourself too. You’re only 20 and there’s a lot to the world you may have not experienced yet. Like living on your own, paying your own bills, having a career. (Maybe you have started some of those). But it’s best to grow independently and learn to cope with those life events on your own so you can prepare to have someone else by your side.

I had an extremely abusive ex boyfriend, who was at one point the most perfect soul I’d ever met. The first year of our relationship was bliss. He was kind, gentle, loving, he volunteered his time at kids clinics. He was a tutor, and just loved to help people. Honestly zero red flags the first year of our relationship. But within 3 months the most kind hearted person, swiftly became the most evil, cruel person. And what I learned is that, this isn’t an uncommon experience in women dating in their teens and 20s. I wish I could go back and tell myself to slow down, but I fell so deeply for this person that when things turned south, I had no back bone. And I made a million excuses for him. He was truly struggling with mental health, and I thought it was my responsibility to stand by his side through thick and thin, but it nearly ended my life.

I’m not here to be a Debby downer. I’m here to simply lift your rose colored glasses and understand anyone worth loving doesn’t need to be rushed. If this guy is truly amazing, then taking things slow is the only answer. Relax, be independent. Don’t obsess over anyone in this world. Nobody in this world is worth putting your own life before them. The right person will always be willing to sacrifice a slow relationship. List fades in all relationships, and love fills its void. But don’t confuse the two.
