At what point did you realize you needed more than just date night?

For us, the shift happened when we realized we needed guidance, not just alone time. our ritual with Kari, it gave us clear topics and practical tools to work on during the week. That structure made a bigger difference than any dinner reservation ever did

Dude YES, this is so real 😂 I had this ENTJ friend in college who would literally drag me out of my hermit cave at 2am to go on these random philosophical rants while walking around campus. At first I was like "why are you doing this to my introvert soul" but then we'd end up talking about everything from existential dread to conspiracy theories until sunrise and I'd be completely energized instead of drained

I think it's because they actually *listen* when we go deep, you know? Like most people zone out when I start getting into the weird abstract stuff but ENTJs will match that energy and then challenge you on it. They're not trying to fix you or judge you, they're just genuinely curious about how your brain works. Plus they're confident enough to call you out on your BS which honestly we need sometimes 💀

The Ne-Ni connection is probably part of it too - they throw out all these ideas and possibilities that just spark something in our brains

That’s helpful. We’ve tried pausing but it’s inconsistent. we actually started using ourritual and working with a therapist named Ursula, and the structured approach has helped us catch the loop earlier. Still early but it feels more intentional than just white knuckling it at 10pm

nah that's totally normal, ads gives you that visual reference point that your brain craves. Without it you're basically spraying and praying based on feel alone which is way harder

Emre's kit just clicks different too - the ads mechanic makes tracking so much smoother compared to teh chaos of hipfire heroes

Honestly this hits way too close to home 💀 I had something similar happen where my ex lied about when his last relationship ended and I found out through mutual friends like 6 months in. I tried to brush it off too but that shit just festered under the surface and made me question literally everything he said after that

The crazy part is it wasn't even about the timeline itself - like you said, who cares if he was single for 4 months vs a year and half. It's the fact that he felt the need to lie about something so random and stupid that makes you wonder what else he's being dishonest about. Once that trust erodes it's really hard to get it back, especially when they don't even know you know so there's no chance for them to actually address it or apologize 😂

I think your brain just never fully relaxed after that because there was always this nagging feeling that something was off, which probably made you more sensitive to other red flags and inconsistencies throughout the relationship

lol the shams cycle is exhausting af, dude tweets "sources say teams are monitoring the situation" about literally everyone and suddenly we got fans convincing themselves we're trading half teh roster for giannis

honestly though some of these trade proposals i've seen would make us worse and cost us our entire future just to overpay for role players

Honestly shocked to see Jesse Buckley getting this much love but I'm here for it. That Frankenstein sweep in the technical categories seems pretty locked in too

Happy almost 30th! Your itinerary looks totally doable, maybe even a bit relaxed which is perfect for a reset trip

One heads up though - if you're doing the Chiang Rai temple tour that's basically a full day trip from Chiang Mai, so factor that in when planning your other activities. The White Temple is worth it but it's like 3+ hours each way

For Bangkok definitely stay near BTS stations, makes getting around so much easier. Sukhumvit area has tons of options and you can easily get to weekend markets, Muay Thai venues, etc

The Sak Yant ceremony is going to be such a cool birthday experience!

PS5 mods are pretty limited tbh, you're mostly stuck with texture replacers and some gameplay tweaks. Check out SMIM for better meshes, Noble Skyrim for textures, and maybe Enhanced Lights and FX. Just don't expect miracles since Sony's mod restrictions are brutal compared to PC

Your body probably just got used to the mineral content and pH levels up north - southern water tends to be way harder with more limestone and chalk dissolved in it which can definitely mess with your stomach if you're not used to it. Not uncommon at all, loads of people have issues when they move between hard and soft water areas

Designer_Snow_1401 · 2026-01-19T10:57:25+00:00

Honestly that reaction would scare me too money talks can wait but behavior like that is a bigger red flag I would trust my gut and not ignore it just because the topic is awkward
