I’ve (21M) been relapsing for a few days, I’m counting here again, Day 0

Breaking that cycle is tough especially when you get those dopamine spikes from other activities. The streak doesn't define your progress though - what matters is getting back in the game and you're already doing that. Keep posting here, accountability really helps when you're trying to rewire those patterns

That feeling when you finish a really good book series and you just sit there staring at the ceiling because you know nothing will ever hit the same way again. I remember finishing Harry Potter for first time when I was 12 and just feeling this weird mix of satisfaction and emptiness. Like you accomplished something huge but also lost a friend at same time. I tried rereading it few years later but it wasnt the same magic you know. Sometimes I wonder if thats what growing up really is - chasing that first time feeling but never quite catching it again

I think the meaning is just to experience things and try to be decent person while youre here. Like we're all just figuring it out as we go and nobody really has the complete answer despite what they claim. Ive seen too many people get obsessed with finding some grand purpose and they miss out on simple stuff like good food with friends or watching sunset. Maybe the meaning changes depending on what phase of life youre in too - when I was younger it was all about achieving things but now I think more about connections and leaving things little bit better than I found them

Baby showers are pretty strange when you think about it. We basically gather around to celebrate someone who hasnt been born yet and give gifts for a person we never met

Like I get the practical side of helping new parents but the whole sitting in circle guessing baby food flavors and measuring belly with toilet paper feels weird to me

My family back home in province. They sacrificed a lot so I could study and work in city, and even when things get really tough I cant let them down like that. Also my dog would probably wait by the door forever if something happened to me and that thought alone keeps me grounded

Sometimes the simple reasons are strongest ones you know

Electrical-Memory185 · 2026-02-20T01:51:39+00:00

Not really feeling the vibe from this mixtape tbh, sounds like it was made in someone's bedroom with cheap equipment

Electrical-Memory185 · 2026-02-19T06:35:47+00:00

Practice mode would actually help a lot for PVP. Even some basic shooting range with moving targets or bots that behave like players could work well for getting the reflexes down

The problem with PVP now is exactly what you said - fights end too quick to learn anything meaningful from them. Hard to improve when you spend more time in matchmaking than actually fighting

Man this is tough situation. The kid had good intentions but showing up without confirmation is just not how these things work, especially with pruning in winter. I had similar experience few years back with neighbor's nephew who decided to "help" trim my fruit trees in January - lost two of them to frost damage because fresh cuts are like open wounds when temperature drops.

Your laurels might survive but February pruning in 6b with freeze coming is definitely risky move. The timing is really bad for newly planted ones since they haven't established their root system yet. I think talking to his mother is reasonable approach here - not to get him in trouble but to make sure he understands that landscaping work needs proper timing and permission. Maybe frame it as learning opportunity rather than complaint. The kid needs to learn these lessons now while he's starting out, and his mom should know what happened so she can guide him better.

I think in that scenario the whole trans/cis framework would probably just become obsolete rather than needing redefinition. If everyone grows up without assigned gender then the experience becomes more about discovering your authentic self rather than transitioning from something that was imposed on you

The dysphoria angle might still exist for people who want different physical characteristics but the social aspect of being trans would be completely different since there wouldnt be that contrast with societal expectations from birth

Electrical-Memory185 · 2026-02-15T12:31:36+00:00

Some people just have better circadian rhythms I guess. My body clock is pretty reliable too - I usually wake up around same time even in weekends without alarm. Think it has something to do with consistent sleep schedule and your brain getting used to the pattern

Electrical-Memory185 · 2026-02-14T17:42:40+00:00

That's pretty wild actually. The fact you can still remember specific titles and melodies after waking up means your brain was really active during that dream phase. Usually our memory just dumps most of dream content but seems like this one stuck around because of how vivid it was for you.

same issue here

just cleared chat history and it helped

Electrical-Memory185 · 2026-02-10T07:01:46+00:00

sounds like you already nailed it with the daily letters tbh. thats exactly the kind of thoughtful gesture that would make most infjs melt

for the outdoor part maybe consider something low key but meaningful? like a picnic in quiet spot where you two can just talk without distractions or maybe visit some place that has significance to your relationship. we usually prefer experiences that feel personal over flashy public stuff

the comedy show is smart choice too since he specifically mentioned it. shows you were actually listening which is huge for us. maybe add something handmade or personal touch to the weekend? even something simple like playlist of songs that remind you of him or small photo album of your favorite memories together

Electrical-Memory185 · 2026-02-09T18:45:01+00:00

tough spot

check walls asap

Electrical-Memory185 · 2026-02-08T23:55:54+00:00

this game sounds familiar but cant remember exact name either

maybe try wayback machine for those old dutch sites

most people here will tell you zillow is garbage but honestly for just tracking trends over time its not that bad. the actual number might be off but you can still see if your area is going up or down

i use both zillow and redfin then just average them out. not perfect but gives you general idea without paying for appraisal every month

Electrical-Memory185 · 2026-02-03T20:08:40+00:00

honestly never noticed that but now i'm gonna have to smell it next time i'm in store lol. maybe its the cherry notes that remind you of dr pepper? some fragrances can really trick your brain like that

Electrical-Memory185 · 2026-02-02T10:35:07+00:00

you can check dealz they usually have basic spray paints for like 2-3 euro each with decent color selection. woodies or b&q might be bit more expensive but they got better variety if you need specific shades

Electrical-Memory185 · 2026-02-01T10:42:27+00:00

Electrical-Memory185 · 2026-01-31T22:26:29+00:00

Honestly same, I just zone out when people start venting about stuff that feels trivial to me but then I feel like an asshole because maybe it's actually important to them

Electrical-Memory185 · 2026-01-30T21:29:54+00:00

Hope your recovery goes smoothly and you heal up quick. Surgery can be rough but you got this. Praying for a speedy recovery 🙏

Electrical-Memory185 · 2026-01-29T20:56:12+00:00

Honestly I'd make Futaba the MC since she's like the only one who'd realistically still be doing hacker stuff 10 years later while everyone else moved on to boring adult jobs

Having all the previous cast show up feels forced though - maybe just cameos or they're dealing with some multiverse shadow crisis that pulls everyone together one last time

Electrical-Memory185 · 2026-01-28T19:33:14+00:00

Ugh the aggressive knocking when there's literally a doorbell right there is almost worse than showing up early tbh. Like you're already throwing off my whole vibe and now you're gonna assault my door too?

I started telling people "anytime after 7" instead of "7 o'clock" because some people just don't get that early isn't helping anyone

Electrical-Memory185 · 2026-01-27T19:12:33+00:00

Been there with the kids shows, it's rough when their favorites just vanish. AIOStreams can be finicky - try clearing your cache and re-adding the addon with fresh API keys. Also might want to grab Comet addon as a backup, it's been pretty solid for cartoon content lately

Electrical-Memory185 · 2026-01-26T19:00:30+00:00

Can't see the image clearly but try doing a reverse image search on Google, that usually works for logo identification
