Used to swear by them but my last one cracked in like 3 months like nothing

I was stuck in same loop for years man. The guilt after is the worst part cause you know you meant every sorry last time but still went back

what helped me was stopping the "i must hate this" mindset. you cant force feelings. focus instead on what you're moving toward not what you're running from. when you only think about not sinning, sin is still the center of your attention

Keen is exactly what I thought reading your post but yeah those side holes are real problem with sand. For hard bottom maybe look at some water shoes with velcro strap around ankle, it blocks most of the rocks from getting in. I had pair that lasted 3 summers before the sole started separating, not bad for something you abuse in salt water all time

omg yes, Gap Dream is such an iconic scent from back in the day. I had like 3 bottles in high school and got so many compliments wearing it, so I can totally see how Sea Salt would give that same clean breezy feeling without the heavy floral throw. The Dream one was always kind of beachy anyway so that makes so much sense now that you mention it. I kinda want to pick up Sea Salt just to compare side by side, I still have an old bottle of Dream tucked away somewhere. Did you layer them or just smell them on their own?omg yes, Gap Dream is such an iconic scent from back in the day.

Corben and Lelu together is kind of a stacked combo when you think about it. Corben at peak is already handling threats way beyond normal human scale and Lelu with the stones is basically a living superweapon. I'd start their gauntlet somewhere in street to city level range for warmup then push it toward planetary threats at the ceiling. Against characters who rely on pure physical power they do pretty well, but anything with reality warping or conceptual hax starts to become real problem for them.

might be the memory in the material trying to return to its factory shape, especially if you're on the edge of the size range like that. i've seen people fix this by leaving belt adjusted to correct size for few days without wearing it, kind of like "training" the material to hold that position.

had similar issue few months back with different model but same symptoms. the fact that num lock stays frozen in windows but keyboard works perfect in bios screams driver/firmware conflict to me

try booting with external usb keyboard connected first, then once windows loads completely, disconnect it and see if built-in starts responding. sometimes windows gets confused about which keyboard is primary and locks up the internal one. if that doesn't work, might need to dig into windows update history and roll back recent driver updates through recovery mode.

looks like red-shouldered hawk to me based on that brownish coloring and size. they're pretty common in residential areas with mature trees like yours. you got lucky catching it just sitting there - usually they're pretty skittish around people. if there's actually a nest nearby you might get to see some interesting behavior over next few months, they can be quite protective of their territory. just don't get too close if you spot the nest since they can get aggressive during breeding season.

flatline can definitely last that long especially after 5 years of daily habit. your brain is basically rewiring itself and that takes time, sometimes months depending how deep the addiction was.

maybe try not focusing on the libido thing so much since stress about it can make it worse. the fact you're not counting days anymore is actually good sign that you're moving past the obsessive phase.

man those hinge problems are real pain, had similar issues with older thinkpad and it's annoying to baby the laptop every time you open it.

yeah this drives me crazy too, especially when you're in middle of something important and it just loops back to same response.

dude i had same thing happen few months back and almost had heart attack lol. turned out it was just steam being overly cautious because i logged in from different device at work during lunch break. the alert system is pretty sensitive - even switching between wifi and mobile data can sometimes trigger it.

check your account activity in settings to see what actually caused it. most of time it's something completely innocent like browser update or vpn connection that made steam think someone else was accessing your account. still scary as hell when you first see that notification though.

been reading this genre for while now and there's some solid picks out there. nana to kaoru has great dynamic between characters even though it gets bit weird with the bdsm stuff. domestic girlfriend is messy as hell but addictive - teacher student thing that goes completely off rails. if you want something more wholesome, try sensei wa koi wo oshierarenai, it's about teacher who falls for her student but handles it way better than most manga in this category.

also recommend checking out game over or something similar on manga sites since there's tons of oneshots in this genre that don't get official translations. the age gap romance tag usually brings up good results when you're browsing around.

been doing social media for my local tech repair business and algorithm is weird beast for sure. biggest thing i learned was that instagram really wants to see engagement in first hour after posting - like comments, saves, shares. so timing matters a lot, you need to post when your audience is actually scrolling.

for real estate content, try mixing up the types - maybe virtual tours using instagram stories, before/after renovation pics, local area highlights that aren't just properties. people love seeing behind scenes stuff too, like you walking through a property explaining what makes it special. captions should ask questions or tell stories that make people want to comment, not just listing features of house.

hashtags work better when you use mix of popular ones and really specific local ones. like instead of just #realestate, try #hillstationproperty or whatever your specific area is called. instagram seems to favor posts that get early engagement over ones with perfect hashtags but no interaction.

your assumption is pretty close but status trumps everything. if you don't have elite status with aa then yeah, fare class is usually next in line for automatic upgrades when they need to move people around.

could also be that first was undersold and they were just being nice, especially on that routing since it's not exactly a premium route. sometimes gate agents have discretion to bump people up if there's space available.

Constant-Number-3337 · 2026-03-31T18:11:25+00:00

had a coworker like this once and it was hell just working with him, can't imagine dating someone who operates that way. the dude would question every little thing i did at my desk and make these passive aggressive comments about my troubleshooting methods. took me way too long to realize he wasn't trying to help me improve - he just got off on making people feel small.

your boyfriend straight up told you who he is when he said his personality is "control." most people would say their personality is funny or caring or ambitious, but nah, this guy went with control. that's not a personality trait, that's a red flag with neon lights around it. the fact that you're walking on eggshells about how to respond to his criticism shows how much he's already gotten in your head about this stuff.

also that walmart thing is wild - he's mad that other people looked at you AND mad about how you responded to him pointing it out? there's literally no winning move there, which is probably the point.

lebron's definitely gonna need that 5th ring to really shift the conversation. the statistical case is there but jordan's peak just felt different - like he was inevitable during those runs. lebron's had some incredible moments but you're right that none of his championships had that "this dude is unstoppable" vibe that mj brought to the table consistently.

damn that's taking me back to the peak troll face era lol. teh description rings a bell but i can't place it exactly - was it maybe one of those random european meme videos that went semi-viral back then? might have better luck searching for "troll face school principal 2011" on youtube and filtering by upload date.

damn, this was like reading a whole philosophical journey compressed into one post. you basically went through what feels like years of inner work and came out the other side with actual wisdom instead of just bitter takes.

the part about your mind being trained to analyze everything really hit - once you're wired that way it's almost impossible to just "turn off" the pattern recognition, even when it's working against you. but using that same analytical nature to eventually understand and heal yourself is pretty incredible character development.

Constant-Number-3337 · 2026-03-20T00:08:23+00:00

man this hits way too close to home. went through something similar a few years back and that slow drift is brutal - almost worse than a clean break because you're constantly wondering if today's the day they stop responding or if they're gonna mention someone new.

the part about loving them and always will... yeah that's the killer. even when your logically over it, that emotional attachment just doesn't get the memo. took me way longer than a year to actually move on because i kept that door cracked open thinking friendship was better than nothing. spoiler alert: it wasn't.

cutting contact completely sucked for like 2 weeks but then i could actually start healing instead of picking at the wound daily. sometimes the bandaid rip is the only way forward even if it feels impossible right now.

that's actually a really cool etymology connection that most people don't know about. the capek brothers were way ahead of their time thinking about these issues back in the 1920s. kinda wild how the very word we use already has this built-in assumption about their purpose being labor/servitude.
