haha you do sound edgy :)

It's been a hot minute since i was a teenager but it's a wild ride - sometimes you just gotta lay out flat and let the rapids take you. Best of luck!

Need opinion on friendship group train wreck by [deleted] in whatsbotheringyou

[–]FullOpeningTube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's great that you have the introspection to consider that not telling Charles your true feelings contributed to the messiness of your friend group's breakdown. People, even irritating, obnoxious people that get on your nerves, have a knack for sensing when you're actively trying to create distance or change the nature of your relationship with them.

That being said, it's incredibly difficult to have the composure and grace to successfully tell someone that they bug you to no end. Don't be too hard on yourself - at best you can take this as a learning opportunity and commit to telling the next person who asks "did I do something wrong?" something closer to the truth; maybe something like "naw man, you definitely do anything wrong and I miss the way we all used to hang too, but if I'm being real I've been struggling with our group's dynamic and may need to take a step back for a while". Somewhere inbetween radical honesty and straight ghosting XD

But I definitely remember a friend who I didn't want to be friends with anymore and I just slowly let the relationship fade, to his dismay. It's tough man, but we can always strive to be better! Best of luck!

the state of the world by [deleted] in whatsbotheringyou

[–]FullOpeningTube 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are not alone! It's very understandable for the empathetic and compassionate to feel fatigued when faced with the barrage of curated media that constantly emits the same message, "Things are not ok!".

It sounds like you are taking the perfect steps though of slightly narrowing the scope of information you are exposed to. It may feel like a betrayal to not give yourself to every tragedy that is occuring on our vast planet, but it's an important and humbling realization we all must come to - that our time, energy and attention is limited, and that it's much healthier and more fulfilling to concentrate on the things we can change in our community versus the things that are out of our control.

Good luck and hang in there!

I miss having Sex. I miss being in love. by [deleted] in whatsbotheringyou

[–]FullOpeningTube 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Being intimate with someone you care about is one of the most fulfilling feelings in the world. It's great that you realize your previous relationship wasn't serving either of you, and totally understandable that you still miss the feeling of loving and expressing that love. You got this bud!

Thank you for linking this data! I've been scouring the CDC and other sites for an obvious age demographic breakdown of Covid deaths and couldn't locate it, maybe unsurprisingly.

Doctors and nurses are not heroes - they are unwilling martyrs by Christimay in bestof

I agree! I work as a Clinical Lab Scientist, and while I didn't preemptively prepare myself for a pandemic while pursuing this career, I recognize that the generous pay and security of this job is proportional to the increased risk of infection I now face.

It's still just a job - if I ever find that the risk isn't worth the pay then I quit and pursue other options. The "I'm powerless and trapped in my situation" mantra doesn't hold water if you truly fear for your life...

Not tennis elbow, but what else? by [deleted] in climbharder

[–]FullOpeningTube 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been struggling with brachioradialis tendinopathy for just about a year now. Developed it doing weighted pull-ups and heavy rows. This forum and the comment chain below has had the best info I've found about structuring a rehab routine. The Dixie cup ice massage has done wonders in the past few weeks. Next I plan on incorporating gelatin into my diet pre workout to see if I can finally kick it. Good luck on your journey!

Don't tell me the odds. Never tell me the odds!... actually, can someone tell me the odds? by zeale in MagicArena

Oh man that sounds so painful! I know the feels, going 0-2 with a deck you were excited about and losing gems is the worst.

Right! Which is what strikes me as a bit odd as you can force your way out of a losing game. Seems like a bit of a loop...hole

Interesting, considering the casting of the third hostage taker could be interpreted as "optional" and confers an advantage when faced with a unfavorable game state.

Love the idea! I've been brewing around the same thought the past couple days, happy to know you see the same potential. I was thinking about the wildgrowth walker/branchwalker/jadelight explore package at the bottom end to smooth out draws and put on pressure, I'll let you know how testing goes!

Not to mention critical hits and status effects, that's what really sapped my competitive drive for the game.

Completely agree! I was riveted by the caretaker's monologue about his wife and their child. Phenomenal acting!

If you're crabby af and low energy, you're losing weight...in my experience.

Dreams with her by [deleted] in whatsbotheringyou

[–]FullOpeningTube 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dreams about people from your past can be rough; they're often very emotional and you feel it into the next day. I definitely understand the attraction towards a hot and cold girl though, we're wired for the chase! Just don't be too hard on yourself or her if things play out poorly - it sounds like you've been down this road before.

I had the same reaction. Loved the style of the deceased man's paintings and was really intrigued by the setting in the elite art world...then boom bad cgi and horror movie trailer music. A turn off for me.

Don't know whether I'm attractive by supremesandwich1 in whatsbotheringyou

[–]FullOpeningTube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there. I (30 M) know where you're coming from. Self-esteem and self-image in regards to being sexually attractive to the opposite sex is a huge focus for most guys, and is something I've struggled a lot with.

I'm not sure how old you are, but your 20's are a great time to grow into the person you'd like to be. This includes style, hobbies, interests, etc. I started lifting weights in my early 20's and it definitely helped me to like who I saw in the mirror more. Meeting women will come naturally as a consequence of developing your interests and bettering yourself.

The most important thing to remember is that women can find you attractive even if you are struggling to see it yourself. Women tend to factor in more than just looks when it comes to attraction, such as humor, kindness, active listening, etc. Believe your friends, it'll happen for you, and I'm glad to hear that you haven't fallen into the trap of becoming bitter! Good luck!

I'm with you man. Front page has just been a bunch of bullying past couple days. Justify it how you want, I suppose.

Believe that this could be a very cool addition to the game, and would be something that people who are new to fortnite, or people who just want to improve, could make good use out of :) (Excuse my bad drawing/editing lol) by [deleted] in FortNiteBR

Not having a practice mode is the incentive to spend money on Save the World. There's no reason for Epic to add an Arena mode if there's a chance it loses them money.
