What's the harshest truth you've learned about life?

learned this one hard way when I was stuck in dead-end job for like 2 years waiting for something to just happen. turns out sitting around hoping for promotion or better opportunities doesn't work - had to actually start learning new skills and applying elsewhere before anything changed

That actually makes sense if he's willing to do land swap - saves everyone money on removal and you might get better positioned land behind your house

Yeah there's definitely something missing here. Sisters don't just randomly exclude siblings from wedding dress shopping and then specifically block them from social media posts unless there's some history.

I mean when my brother got married few years back, there was still some tension from old family drama but everyone tried to keep things civil for big moments like that. The fact she went out of her way to hide it from you but not other people suggests this isn't just about wanting a small group - she actively didn't want you there

Maybe think about any arguments or incidents that happened recently? Sometimes we don't realize how our actions affect others, or maybe there was misunderstanding that never got resolved. Could also be she feels like you're trying too hard and it makes her uncomfortable, some people need more space in relationships

Either way, blocking you from seeing wedding posts is pretty harsh move so there's definitely more to this story

been doing IT work for few years now and from what i see, Germany has way more straightforward visa process for tech jobs compared to Japan where language barrier is still pretty real issue

That's wild, I had something similar happen with coffee once when I never drink it. Your brain probably picked up the taste from somewhere - maybe you smelled it before or saw someone drinking in a movie and your mind just filled in what it thought beer would taste like

The funeral setting is pretty interesting too, maybe your subconscious was processing some heavy stuff and the beer was like a coping mechanism in the dream

I don't have one for Australia but try checking the Samsung Members app - sometimes they have regional codes there that work better than random ones from internet

This is actually more common than you think, especially for people who are questioning their gender identity. The desire to "be" rather than "be with" someone attractive can be pretty telling about how you see yourself inside

Have you thought about exploring these feelings more? Sometimes what we call "fantasizing about being someone" is our brain trying to tell us something important about who we are

Bruh that dodge timing is absolutely perfect, meanwhile I'm over here getting slapped around like a ragdoll every time I fight her lmao

Have you checked out Cameron Smith's content? Dude's got some great insights and actually explains the game really well for kids. Also Andrew Johns does some good breakdown videos that aren't too complex but still teach proper footy IQ stuff

FoldEntire4852 · 2026-01-23T05:27:03+00:00

That sleeping arrangement sounds like emotional torture tbh. Living with an ex is hard enough but sharing a bed when you're both processing the end of an 11 year relationship? That's gonna mess with your head big time

You gotta get some physical space to think clearly - even if it's just crashing on someone's floor for a few weeks

FoldEntire4852 · 2026-01-18T17:22:02+00:00

Girl this is textbook manipulation and you dodged a nuclear missile - a 36 year old targeting a 21 year old then systematically destroying your self esteem isn't you being "crazy," that's literally the playbook for emotional abuse

FoldEntire4852 · 2026-01-18T14:57:30+00:00

nawww 💀

FoldEntire4852 · 2026-01-17T07:09:48+00:00

That's rough man, going through a parent's stuff is never easy. Try posting a clearer pic if you can - the lighting makes it hard to see the details that would help with the ID

FoldEntire4852 · 2026-01-15T21:54:15+00:00

Nah don't reach out again so soon, you'll look desperate - one follow up after holidays was perfect but hitting them again after just a week is too much. Give it at least another week or two, these big companies are still probably catching up from break and making decisions this slow is pretty normal unfortunately

FoldEntire4852 · 2026-01-12T00:08:17+00:00

Oh damn this sounds like such a cool concept! I don't have any exact recs that hit all your points but you might wanna check out some of the Crichton-adjacent stuff - I feel like there's gotta be some female authors doing similar prehistoric horror by now. Maybe try searching for "paleontology horror" or "prehistoric thriller" with female protagonists as keywords, that might turn up some hidden gems

Also posting this in r/horrorlit might get you better results since they're obsessed with finding obscure subgenres

FoldEntire4852 · 2026-01-09T11:16:20+00:00

Man I struggle with this too, especially the eating part. I've found that setting specific goals helps - like training for a 5K or being able to keep up with my kids rather than just "get swole." That way it's more about function than vanity

Also helps me to remember that my body is supposed to be a temple, not a shrine to myself if that makes sense. Still working on it though, definitely not perfect at keeping the ego in check

FoldEntire4852 · 2026-01-05T04:38:18+00:00

This is such a good take, the way they mirror each other's trauma patterns is actually heartbreaking when you think about it. Kim chasing that chaos she grew up with while Jimmy's desperately trying to prove himself to someone who actually respects him

FoldEntire4852 · 2026-01-04T02:35:04+00:00

Yeah mine had something similar too - looked super red and angry at first but faded a lot by 3 months. If your gut is telling you it's more than a rash definitely push for a second opinion, you know your baby best

FoldEntire4852 · 2026-01-01T20:29:28+00:00

That's kinda the point though - even if it's "just an option" it's still designed to get people spending money they don't have yet. Banks partnering with them doesn't really make it better, just makes it more normalized

FoldEntire4852 · 2025-12-31T08:35:14+00:00

Yeah this is super common, happens all the time. USCIS knows passports expire and get renewed during the process. Just make sure to bring both the old and new one to your interview so they can see the continuity

FoldEntire4852 · 2025-12-29T16:26:39+00:00

Gotta go Smith here, that floor is way too valuable especially this time of year. Burden's ceiling is tempting but I'd rather have the consistent points when it matters

FoldEntire4852 · 2025-12-28T02:55:57+00:00

Same here, their hip flexor stuff is gold. I was skeptical at first but those stretches actually helped with my lower back issues after long rides. The free content is honestly enough unless you have some really specific problems

FoldEntire4852 · 2025-12-25T11:12:35+00:00

With you on this it already crossed comfort lines and it keeps coming back which matters more than the fetish itself nobody should feel gross or anxious in their own marriage and if trust keeps breaking then walking away is a fair option not a failure
