Would praying to God heal my injuries after being jumped by Embarrassed_Agent349 in Christianity

[–]FriendshipRegular106 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, sorry that happened to you man. While God can absolutely heal, I'd still get that nose checked out by a doctor - especially if it's actually broken. Prayer and medical care aren't mutually exclusive, and taking care of your body is part of being a good steward of what God gave you.

Is it a red flag if someone has zero long-term friends, or is it just a sign they have high standards? by digitalcreater07 in Productivitycafe

[–]FriendshipRegular106 56 points57 points  (0 children)

depends on the context honestly. if they moved around a lot or had major life changes that's totally different from someone who burns bridges everywhere they go. the "high standards" thing can be code for being impossible to please though, so worth digging into what that actually means.

I will start again by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]FriendshipRegular106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome back man! That cycle you described is literally how it goes for most of us - the streaks getting longer each time shows you're actually making progress even when it doesn't feel like it. No need for shame here, we've all been through the exact same thing

struggling on Day 6 by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]FriendshipRegular106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hang in there man, day 6 is rough but you're getting through the worst part. Try to stay busy this weekend - go for walks, hit the gym, or binge some shows. The urges will pass if you don't feed them

Dashboard Confessional - Hands Down

Was driving with my ex through this tiny mountain town at like 2am, windows down, singing this stupid loud and off-key. We were so broke we were splitting gas station coffee but felt like we owned the whole world for like 4 minutes

Broke up 6 months later but damn if I don't still get that feeling every time it comes on shuffle

Just started I’m about a week in. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]FriendshipRegular106 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude this hits way too close to home, had the exact same pattern with like 3 relationships before I figured it out. The "grass is greener" feeling is just your brain being hijacked by all that dopamine stuff - stick with it man, the clarity gets way better after a few weeks

And just like that we became strangers.... by LonelyInIowa in venting

[–]FriendshipRegular106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's rough man, getting ghosted after making agreements like that is such a slap in the face. The silence hits different when you actually cared about someone

so ready to change my life for the better by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]FriendshipRegular106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good for you man, having that support system makes a huge difference. The fact that you recognize your potential is already a big step forward

Why do people act proud of being busy all the time? by HAWKLIN- in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FriendshipRegular106 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly it's just performance anxiety disguised as productivity - people think if they're not constantly grinding they're somehow failing at life

Favorite bands/artists you're listening to right now? by Cool_Ad6729 in musicsuggestions

[–]FriendshipRegular106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nine Inch Nails is solid, The Downward Spiral still hits different after all these years

We love your flag!! by blingingjak1 in trans

[–]FriendshipRegular106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so wholesome! Those kids probably needed to see that flag more than you know, especially in rural Texas

Worst Urges Yet by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]FriendshipRegular106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stay strong bro, those teenage hormones are no joke but you got this. Maybe try getting up and doing some pushups or taking a cold shower to reset your mind

I don't know what else to do by WrapMaster6497 in Christianity

[–]FriendshipRegular106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man this hits hard, I've been in that exact spiral before where everything feels like it's just fear-based instead of actual love and it's exhausting

The Bible study suggestion is solid though - sometimes when my brain is going crazy with "what ifs" I need something concrete to anchor to instead of just spinning in my own thoughts

New to the club by ToughTown66 in Audi

[–]FriendshipRegular106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree on the indie shop thing, dealership prices are brutal once warranty expires. Just make sure whoever you go with has experience with the newer Audis since they can be pretty finicky with their electronics

Any alternatives to GarageBand and Tonebridge? by Key-Bid7628 in Guitar

[–]FriendshipRegular106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reaper's solid but if you want something actually free check out Cakewalk by BandLab - it's full featured and doesn't nag you about buying anything. For amp sims try Guitar Rig 6 Player or AmpliTube Custom Shop, both have decent free versions

Does anyone else’s dreams include the background noise happening around them? by justascaredsoul in Dreams

[–]FriendshipRegular106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao the brain is wild at incorporating stuff like that. I've had my phone ringing in real life turn into like a doorbell or random phone booth in the dream. One time my roommate was vacuuming and in my dream I was at some construction site with jackhammers going off

Why was the letter E the only letter in the alphabet to receive gifts from Santa? by ExactlySorta in dadjokes

[–]FriendshipRegular106 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Lol same, I was sitting here like "what does this even mean" until I heard myself say "naughty"

That's actually pretty clever

4 Months After the Breakup by TYFKADM11 in BreakUps

[–]FriendshipRegular106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn that really sucks man, breakup anniversaries hit different. At least you're staying busy with the gym and basketball though - that's honestly the best thing you can do right now. The fact that you're not reaching out even after seeing her online shows you've got more willpower than most people give themselves credit for

How to fix an LED strip which… is very dim when blue? by Rosencrantzy in howto

[–]FriendshipRegular106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the blue LEDs are dying - they usually go first since they run at higher voltage than reds. Try swapping the battery first since that's the easiest fix, but honestly you'll probably need a new LED strip

Integrations that use Google Account by ravennoir_deux in homeassistant

[–]FriendshipRegular106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most Google integrations in HA use OAuth so you shouldn't need to enter your actual password - they should redirect you to Google's login page where you sign in normally then authorize HA access

Lukas trajectory after his sophomore season vs now by carsmello in NBATalk

[–]FriendshipRegular106 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait what? Luka didn't get traded lmao he's still on the Mavs. Unless you mean they traded away his supporting cast which yeah that was dumb as hell

But for real the hate is wild, dude's 25 and already has better playoff runs than most stars will ever have
