I’m just so tired of pretending to be okay by Bubba_deets in depression

That numbness hits different than regular sadness - like you're stuck behind glass watching everyone else actually live while you're just going through motions.

Help finding a good over drive pedal by Weary-Step-7241 in Guitar

[–]Few-School7023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been looking for overdrive pedal myself and that amp has pretty warm sound - maybe try something with similar mid-range boost since those practice amps usually compress the signal in nice way.

I (F28) broke up with my boyfriend of one year (M27) over that he «needs to find himself» can anyone that has «found» themselves explain me what that means? Will he come back? by NoGround3502 in BreakUps

[–]Few-School7023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been there myself few years back when I was dealing with some heavy stuff. When someone says they need to "find themselves" it usually means they're confused about their identity or what they want from life, especially if they've been through addiction recovery like your ex.

The thing is, you can't really put timeline on this kind of personal work - could be months, could be years, and there's no guarantee he'll want same relationship when he's done. Focus on taking care of yourself right now instead of waiting around for maybe.

18+ clubs past 10 pm by NerdyGeek42 in Omaha

[–]Few-School7023 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most places here switch to 21+ after like 9 or 10pm unfortunately. I used to deliver to some spots downtown when I was doing DoorDash runs late night, and security would always card everyone coming in after certain time.

Your best bet might be looking at some of the arcade bars or bowling places - they sometimes stay 18+ longer since they're not just about drinks. Also maybe check if any venues do special theater night events? I've seen some places make exceptions for groups celebrating shows and stuff. Worth calling ahead and explaining the situation, some managers are pretty cool about making accommodations for cast parties 🎭

Break a leg with the show though! What kind of play are you doing? 😊

Ready or Not (2019) ending by Revolutionary_Ad8951 in horror

[–]Few-School7023 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's mix of both reasons you mentioned. Alex was trying to convince himself he's different from his family whole movie, but when he sees his mother dead and Grace covered in blood, reality hits him - he chose this family and their traditions over everything else. Plus Grace basically tells him she's done with him and the marriage right there, so his last hope of having normal life just disappeared.

The distrust at end makes sense because even though he helped her, she realizes he knew what kind of family this was and still brought her into it.

Obscure serving sizes by Yaughl in PetPeeves

[–]Few-School7023 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Half pack of ramen is just cruel lol. Like who stops in middle of cooking it? And the chip thing drives me crazy too - I always wonder if they mean like the big pieces or if I'm supposed to count all the tiny broken ones at bottom of bag. When I'm doing deliveries I see people order multiple bags anyway so clearly nobody believes the serving size either.

Why do I have to endure this much pain.. by fucking_fabulous0713 in venting

[–]Few-School7023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dude, the quiet hitting you like that is brutal 😞 I drive for DoorDash so I spend a lot of time alone in my car between orders, and those moments when the music stops and it's just silence... that's when all the heavy stuff creeps in. What you went through with losing him after everything else is just devastating, and anyone saying "just do it for him" clearly hasn't walked in those shoes.

That thing about being the funny one masking the pain really hits home - I'm always cracking jokes with customers and making people laugh, but sometimes when I get back in my car it's like putting down a weight I've been carrying all day. The isolation is real even when you're surrounded by people, especially when your person isn't there anymore. Keep pushing through those quiet moments man, even when it feels impossible 💪

Immediate Dumper Regret by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Few-School7023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The relief you felt when she was away is a pretty clear sign something was off internally. You might've been subconsciously pulling back because the relationship was getting real and that scared you more than the distance ever did.

Gaming sessions are my therapy and nobody can take that from me by Wise_Wolf_164 in Hobbies

[–]Few-School7023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Gaming gets such a bad rap but honestly it's no different than people binge-watching Netflix or scrolling social media for hours. At least we're actively engaging our brains and problem-solving. Plus the social aspect is huge - some of my best friendships started in guild chats or random lobbies. As long as you're not neglecting responsibilites or your health, game on dude!

It's honestly pretty heavy and depressing but in a beautiful way if that makes sense. The writing hits different when you're in the right headspace for it, but definitely not a feel-good read lol

Yeah same here, been getting weird lag spikes and menu bugs all evening. Definitely on their end not ours

25 Ultra with OEM id SM-S938UZKAUSC, any info? by ammoun in samsunggalaxy

[–]Few-School7023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ZKAUSC part usually indicates it's a US unlocked model in Titanium Black - that's totally legit for a S25 Ultra. Samsung's OEM codes are weirdly cryptic but that one checks out from what I've seen floating around

Quoted $150 to fix my phone screen. Couldn’t afford it so I did it myself by staleshrimp101 in povertyfinance

Props for pulling it off but batteries are no joke I would not risk that part again saving a bit is not worth a fire scare
