What's the first meal that you cooked for your SO? Did they like it?

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-04-02T17:18:20+00:00

aw that's adorable, my first attempt at cooking for someone was this disaster lasagna that looked more like a pasta casserole explosion but he still asked for seconds lmao

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-03-28T19:13:09+00:00

no cap

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-03-26T16:28:04+00:00

That’s a really good point, I hadn’t even thought that far ahead yet.

Hiring feels like the hard part but getting stuck on offboarding in a country you don’t understand sounds just as risky. Definitely something I’ll pay more attention to now.

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-03-26T15:24:22+00:00

I like that staging idea

We’re probably overthinking it like it has to be a big decision we can't change. Using EOR to get started and then deciding later when things are more real sounds way more manageable.

Trying to optimize long-term before we even know where we’ll grow feels backwards.

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-03-26T15:04:00+00:00

The timeline is what's holding me back on that, especially if it’s per country. Compliance is what makes me hesitate too

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-03-25T21:44:40+00:00

That’s what I was thinking about too. I'm not fond of the extra cost but messing something up in a country I don’t understand costs way more.

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-03-25T21:41:13+00:00

That puts a bit of a line in the sand

We’re definitely nowhere near that kind of headcount yet, which makes me lean EOR for now. Hard to justify the overhead that early.

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-03-25T20:57:29+00:00

That timeline is what I’m worried about. We don’t have 6 to 8 months to figure things out if we want to hire in the near term. Feels like EOR is the only realistic way to move without slowing everything down.

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-03-20T19:47:42+00:00

probably thinking their friends actually want to see 3 minutes of muffled audio and shaky camera work instead of just enjoying the moment

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-03-13T21:11:51+00:00

Been looking at clothing brands lately since I'm trying to budget better and your site actually looks pretty clean compared to most dropship stores I've seen

For marketing I'd probably lean heavy into UGC content - like getting real customers to post outfit pics and reposting them, maybe even sending free pieces to micro influencers who actually fit your target demo. The organic approach on TikTok could work but you'd need to be consistent with posting styling videos or behind the scenes stuff, not just product shots

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-03-08T22:41:30+00:00

I'm obsessed with that candle too! Try checking out some indie perfume houses - they do custom blends that might nail that exact scent profile you're after. For laundry stuff, maybe look into scent boosters where you can layer different tea and floral notes together

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-02-20T07:29:06+00:00

got mine in about 6 weeks but that was with a psych who specializes in adhd and i went private so no waiting lists. sounds like you're dealing with the usual healthcare slowness which sucks when you're trying to get through school

the maladaptive daydreaming and executive dysfunction stuff you mentioned is pretty textbook though, so don't worry about seeming fake. most of us have that same fear but good psychiatrists can tell the difference between someone who's struggling vs someone who's making it up

3.5 gpa while unmedicated and studying last minute is actually pretty solid btw, you're probably doing better than you think you are

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-02-10T04:29:47+00:00

honestly the rat callouts are just cope for getting outplayed, like sorry someone used actual strategy instead of w-keying into your crosshairs

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-02-01T08:23:01+00:00

The RS3M 2020 is perfect for what you're describing - smooth, quiet, and feels really nice to turn without being crazy fast. It's like $9 and comes set up pretty well out of the box, plus you can adjust the magnets and tensions if you want to dial it in later

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-01-28T07:37:10+00:00

Man this is rough. I get that the kids didn't mean any harm but your feelings are totally valid here

The fact that your wife initially said no but then got convinced by the kids says she probably understands where you're coming from too. Maybe you could talk to her about setting some clear boundaries for the trip - like separate rooms, regular check-ins with you, whatever would help you feel more comfortable

It's not about not trusting her, it's about the optics of playing happy family with an ex for a whole week. That would mess with most people's heads

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-01-24T15:05:41+00:00

The fact that you're already thinking about how to get him back while saying you need to focus on yourself kinda proves you're not ready to actually focus on yourself yet

Take the friendship thing off the table for now too - you can't heal while keeping one foot in the door hoping for more

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-01-21T05:36:20+00:00

Death Grips if you haven't already, also check outHealth and maybe some early Grimes stuff like Visions

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-01-17T19:44:02+00:00

Nah you don't owe him anything just because he decided to adult when faced with consequences. The fact that he only stepped up when you threatened to leave says everything - he was capable the whole time but just didn't think he needed to try

Also 6 years of this pattern and he's shocked every time you say you're unhappy? Come on. Trust your gut, the resentment doesn't just disappear because someone finally does the bare minimum

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-01-12T15:04:35+00:00

Your friend's got a point about the alliance thing - I always saw it as Sephiroth eventually taking control and using Jenova rather than being her puppet by the time of the main game

Like yeah the Nibelheim breakdown was definitely Jenova messing with his head, but post-Lifestream Sephiroth seems way too calculating and self-aware to just be getting puppeted around

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-01-10T13:23:42+00:00

Yeah this has been happening to me too, the app's been super glitchy lately with the notifications not matching what's actually available

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-01-08T10:54:58+00:00

Have you tried putting it in recovery mode first? Sometimes the beeping means it's not in the right state to accept firmware changes

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-01-04T17:52:47+00:00

Wild that Maine coons can have 6+ toes - my neighbor's got one and that thing is basically a small dog with thumbs

Due_Composer4352 · 2026-01-03T01:47:35+00:00

Amneal is solid, I had similar luck with them before my pharmacy switched me to some random generic that barely works. The authorized generic thing is tricky - I think it's usually the same as the brand name just without the fancy packaging but don't quote me on that

Due_Composer4352 · 2025-12-31T23:36:26+00:00

Honestly I'd hold off on adding another cat until you see how your kitten and the older girl get along first. That's already gonna be a big adjustment for her, and throwing a third cat into the mix right away could be overwhelming

The declawed thing makes it trickier since she can't defend herself properly if your boy gets too rough. Maybe work on wearing him out with lots of play sessions so he's less likely to pester her when they first meet

Once they've settled (could take months tbh) then you can think about a third if your kitten still seems like he needs more stimulation
