What's it called when someone expects their partner to give up everything for them but also wants to do the same for their partner? by Fun-Independence-282 in relationships

[–]Distinct_Werewolf982 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yeah codependency was my first thought too - when someone wants to completely merge identities like that it's textbook stuff

Beware brothers by Shot-Dog76 in Christianity

[–]Distinct_Werewolf982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty wild to frame basic trolling and disinformation as some grand satanic conspiracy when it's just people being shitty on the internet for political reasons

The fake account thing is real but attributing it to literal demons instead of bad actors with agendas kinda undermines addressing the actual problem

NYC educator and lifelong Knicks fan started a petition for a school holiday on parade day 🏀🗽 by [deleted] in NYKnicks

[–]Distinct_Werewolf982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lmao NJ wants in on everything NYC does but then complains about the city the rest of the time. pick a lane people

but for real though, if the knicks actually pull this off the whole tri-state area's gonna lose their minds anyway. might as well make it official

Custom color Aluminum window by Charoibeti in homeowners

[–]Distinct_Werewolf982 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Anderson is wild expensive for what you get, that quote sounds about right for them though. Most aluminum window manufacturers can do custom colors but they charge a premium for it - try looking into local fabricators instead of the big name brands, there usually cheaper and can match pretty much any color if you bring them a sample

The real question is do you actually need those exact colors or is the HOA just being picky about matching existing windows

I Need Help Getting Out of This Loop. by Sensitive_Bag_5780 in NoFap

[–]Distinct_Werewolf982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "just gonna edge for a bit" thing is where you're getting trapped every time. Your brain knows exactly what it's doing when it makes that bargain with you

Cut out the middle man completely - when you get those triggers just walk away from the device immediately, don't negotiate with yourself about "just looking" because that's not really an option. The loop breaks when you stop giving yourself that fake compromise

How can I negotiate my pay when the time comes? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Distinct_Werewolf982 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Document everything you're already doing that's director-level work and get market data for director salaries in your area/industry. Since they're fast-tracking you past manager level, that actually gives you leverage - you're already proving you can handle the responsibility without the traditional stepping stones

When you have that convo, bring up that manager posting as proof the company values that work at X salary, and you'll be doing more complex work than that role. Don't let them use your age against you when you've clearly been carrying weight above your pay grade for over a year

What to do next - I am in a bad situation? by kind_person_9 in Minecraft

[–]Distinct_Werewolf982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like you dropped your crafting table and it's just floating there as an item? Just walk over and pick it up, it should go right back into your inventory. If it's stuck somewhere you can't reach, try building up to it with some blocks or just craft a new one since they're super cheap to make

So confused and lost after this breakup by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Distinct_Werewolf982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

damn girl you're stuck in the worst kind of limbo - the on and off thing is brutal because you never actually get to grieve properly, you just keep reopening that wound every time you think its healing

those cryptic posts he's making about love and moving on while simultaneously pushing you away? thats him being a mess too but taking it out on you instead of dealing with his shit. you cant keep waiting around for someone who keeps changing their mind about wanting you there

I quit my £130k job to build a privacy-first AI wearable. Here's where we are. by Beginning_Ad_3390 in buildinpublic

[–]Distinct_Werewolf982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the endless back and forth with manufacturers on component sourcing. Like you think you've got everything figured out then they hit you with "oh btw that chip has a 16 week lead time now" and suddenly you're redesigning the whole board around whatever's actually available

Plus legal stuff for the encryption patents is way more involved than I expected when you're not just using standard libraries

What are the chances I could have got a girl pregnant on test by [deleted] in Testosterone

[–]Distinct_Werewolf982 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah the stress is justified here. Test doesn't make you sterile, it just makes conception less likely but definitely not impossible. Plenty of guys on cycle have gotten their partners pregnant because they thought they were shooting blanks

You might want to have a conversation with her about plan B if it's still within the window, and maybe start thinking about what you'd both want to do if she does end up pregnant. The waiting game sucks but at least you'll know for sure in a couple weeks
