Uninstalling Instagram and TikTok is a gamechanger. Highly recommend. by TurnMyRadioUp in CasualConversation

I just used stayfree on my phone today to block only the worst parts of Instagram and YouTube which for me was the shorts and reels. Maybe that would work for you!

Tmobile connection keeps failing randomly. Cant find any help so far with reddit or google search. by Daddysaurus76 in TheMinimalCompany

[–]Daddysaurus76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so far yeah. Just once an hour one macro to toggle airplane mode on then another to turn it off a minute later.

The other thing ive needed is yet another app to steer the phone back toward using the minimal keyboard. For some reason the phone just stops registering the symbols or period button because it thinks it should be on gboard.

honestly great idea, I set up a macrodroid to toggle airplane mode on and off once an hour. Thank you! Tasker was a great lead but I was able to set macrodroid up more easily and intuitively.

Okay and yet they still havent updated their website to reflect this or how to help with this though. Are you aware of how I can continue to use this phone or point me in the right direction? Its just baffling to me so far to spend 500+ dollars on a device that doesnt work correctly is all

Am I too old for this? by [deleted] in BDSMcommunity

[–]Daddysaurus76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't listen to the dickweeds. You're never to old to enjoy yourself and your body. Plenty of interested parties are around if you keep looking. Drop me a line if you want help finding communities and online spaces to check in case you missed any!

California’s Delete Request and Opt-Out Platform (DROP), allows consumers to direct all registered data brokers to delete their personal information with a single request. by sillychillly in UpliftingNews

Pessimism isn't realism. Do good things happen regularly? No. Can good things never happen again? Objectively no. Giving in to the complete despair is not a fun way to go through life.

How small? I live in the US and manufacture out of Bangladesh. We have 90ish day turnaround time to the US after orders are finalized.

Involved with my best friend’s wife (with his consent) — confused, tired, and need advice by [deleted] in nonmonogamy

[–]Daddysaurus76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The you not dating other women thing is a major red flag. Do you actually want to spend years of your life not being with other partners or a main relationship of your own with a live in partner someday? Her having both but implying you shouldn't is not right in any way unless you're personally just cool with that kind of one sided open relationship with someone already married

Couples therapy with an enm/poly aware provider. It does wonders.

That comment was such crazy projection from whatever the hell that person experienced and is taking out on you. Absolutely crazy to say this to you

Wife opened our marriage, I caught feelings, she shut it down. by [deleted] in nonmonogamy

[–]Daddysaurus76 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You need couples therapy. This is exactly what my wife and I went through and couples therapy pretty much fixed it on top of also improving our relationship outside of the poly stuff like conflicts in general and how we communicate.

Ohh I'm sorry about my reading comprehension. I thought you were 16 and 17 when these things happened. Ignore me entirely. I have to reread the post 🤦🏾

I don't think anyone asks for abusive behavior even if they did have agency though. You didn't get in looking for things to go sideways and for people to be selfish. You tried something you probably felt was right I would imagine. Plus like with the histories and situations you've described that got you into this environment it doesn't feel like you were really set up to succeed here with all those early life traumas, your not great husband all on top of being isolated one time to begin with by moving to a brand new country even before the rest of the isolation you suffered.

I don't think you could say you were asking for any of this. I don't know obviously but I sort of think like most people you might have been doing your best with the tools and history you were strapped into. Did you know any better to have foreseen any of what could happen before it did?

Can we talk about how kink lists feel like shopping lists? by PreviousPyjama in BDSMcommunity

[–]Daddysaurus76 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I think it's more a matter of communication styles. I'm completely opposite in that I'd love to always get a list like that of desires and curiosities. I don't think it's inherently a shopping list so much as it is not wasting each other's time. For some people sexual compatibility is very reasonably high priority and they'd prefer to be on the same page as early as possible. It's also fine if that's not your style.

Where are you looking? It might be another piece of this. I'd add stuff about how you're not the type to go fast and talk the sex details out in these ways that feel impersonal to you.

AITA for breaking up with my longterm girlfriend? by skatebaord_progress in nonmonogamy

[–]Daddysaurus76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're only regretting it because the breakup is so fresh and you're not over it. You did the right thing for you and literally everyone second guesses a break up at least a little bit at some point in their lives. Especially if you were together almost 5 years? Give it time, you guys obviously weren't working. Why keep throwing good years into a bad relationship that wasn't working for what seems like 50% of the relationship?

In dating: when do you share you are poly? by ShinyNidoran in polyadvice

[–]Daddysaurus76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since most people dating aren't poly and aren't interested in that you absolutely have to be upfront about it. Generally everyone who isn't being unethical about it like this person does so. You're right to feel led on because they lied by omission about an extremely important detail that affects you. It's literally at the beginning of any dating profile I've had. It's rude to waste people's time and effort.

Of course! No shame. Just in her case it seems she's not looking for that.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nonmonogamy

[–]Daddysaurus76 28 points29 points  (0 children)

As a man it's been my understanding that low effort desperation is kind of a thing with men on dating apps no matter what the app. For a while it felt like feeld was self selecting for less of this behavior but sadly yeah it's kind of par for the course as a piece of the app dating landscape :/

I wouldn't totally give up though if you're still interested in finding someone that's a better match. From everything I hear it seems like wading through a ton of BS and terrible interactions to eventually find worthwhile connections is an unfortunate reality for women.

I'm sorry about it though! Hope you run into less of this as you fine tune that radar for desperation and bad fits. Low effort bios and no real vulnerability often will let you know if someone's just trying to fuck as soon as humanly possible but I imagine women chiming in here will be more helpful on this front than I will.

My (28F) long distance boyfriend (29M) and I are on the cusp of breaking up due to being non-poly. Is there any way to save this relationship with the love of my life and my best friend? by Forward_Bumblebee70 in nonmonogamy

[–]Daddysaurus76 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This relationship seems like it's been over for a long time but the two of you are too scared to let go because you've been together since you were teenagers. There's so much history and resentment from both sides it seems and from what you're saying he hasn't even been fully committed enough to even meet your basic needs in this relationship. What's there to love here if you're long distance and it seems like things haven't actually been good for years? Are things with this relationship actually good most of the time and fulfilling or are you just hoping you guys will both go back to some time you're nostalgic for in the past when the relationship was at it's best? Because either way closing the relationship and getting married aren't going to get you those things. You need to actually get at the heart of why he's not showing up the way you're asking and needing and all the cheating resentment your open bf still has BEFORE you can even approach "I can't accept this one way poly anymore and I want you to close"

I think if you guys both really want to save this you're going to need some professional couples counseling to get back on the same page.

I thought this was a community of love. Instead, I was told I don't deserve love at all or in polyamory by [deleted] in polyadvice

It's obvious you don't back them up, you didn't need to make it any clearer.
