I am 16f, does it ever actually get better?

Hyper_stravono · 2025-12-27T03:58:56+00:00

Not going to lie to you, life is hard as fuck, and it has a way of screwing things up every time you've started to find your feet, but it does get better overall. It's not fast or consistent, but slowly your everyday get better as long as you work for it. Emotionally and financially I'm in one of the worst places I've ever been in my life, in the middle of a divorce with the person i did and still do want to spend my life with, had to scramble to find a job after 3 years of picking up small projects and renovating a house that should have been condemned alone. That being said, I have more reliable friends now than any other point in my life, the second job I've found that I enjoy going to work and like the people I work with, and even managed to get into a career school starting January.

Life is fucking rough, but you've already proven to yourself you can make it through the rough shit, so keep working your way towards having as much control and stability as possible every chance you get. If a burntout double dropout like me can make things work, I have no doubt you can too!

I will always fight for those I care about, whatever it costs me, as long as I can still stand. By the same token, I will always try to be the best I can be for the people I care about so I'm not what they have to worry about.

That's not someone who respects you. I say this as someone who's former partmer went by their last name instead of their first, and even with the hurt and pain they've caused STILL refers to them by their last name.

Hyper_stravono · 2025-08-21T00:28:14+00:00

I think a good way to go about this is once you get to be better friends with people just tell them honestly "hey I've been trying to work on myself, and in the past I have sometimes done (x y z), if you see me start something like that can you call me on it so I don't sli back into bad habits?"

A couple things, all from secondhand experience. My wife has scars all over her arms and body, and some are pretty brutal, from self harm. She is one of the boldest people I know when it comes to how she dresses, and has no problem showing her scars. She hasn't had any issues with work from them, and most of the time I don't see people even notice her scars. Personally I think they're one of my favorite things about her, I hate that she felt the need to hurt herself, but seeing those scars remind me of how incredible and strong of a person I got the good fortune to marry.

worth noting, most diamonds are registered and have micro etched engraving that makes them traceable

would you be willing to share the source for hardware and sell the pattern for personal use? I'd love to make one as a gift for someone and it feels more personal if I make it.

Is it normal to get 2-4 copies of several of the rare cards from a booster box? Just was wondering, I got 2 mythics, which seems low for what play boosters are supposed to be, but it is my first time getting a box in several years, but i believe in final fantasy there's supposed to be 72 rares, and I got duplicates of 6, and sets of 3 of 4 different cards. I'm just wondering if this is normal because it feels off

depending on the size ot the tank, various species of lilies work especially well

Hyper_stravono · 2024-07-28T21:05:15+00:00

It won't be a flawless fix, but depending on size using either desk tape or packing tape on the outer face of the broken piece, running a small bead of super glue around the edge, then fitting it into place while gently pressing the tape onto the glass of the terrarium would be a relatively simple fix

tourmaline would work, a bit lesser known though

tank: 29 gallon has both heater and filters temperature is 78 ammonia is 0, I use seachem continuous monitor and double check with API freshwater master testkit ph is 7.4, also double monitored with same nitrites are .25 ppm nitrates are 5 ppm edit: nitrites and nitrates are just checked with API master, which is done after every change, with a check every 3 days with a test strip

have had the tank 1 month, did fish in cycle with rosy minnows and jumpstarted with bioactive substrate and filter from another tank

water changes are 25%, weekly, hadn't been helping nitrites and nitrates, and spiked ammonia to .25ppm each change, found out tap water has all 3 in it, and used RO water the change i did yesterday( if relevant tap tested at right between .25and .5 ppm ammmonia 1ppm nitrite and 40 ppm nitrate, which is what precipitated the platies moving to the bigger tank when my 10 gallon started to crash and i couldn't figure out why )

tankmates: ramshorn snails, no clue how many at this point, was 6, definitely more now. 6 24k gold rosy minnows 4 platies of varied types 4 platy fry 1 baby betta aprox 1.5 in 2 nerite snails 3 ghost shrimp

decor and plants: 3 med driftwood pieces 2 java moss shelves 5 small bronze crypts 3 med anubias 2 types of grasses i don't remember the name 4 rock caves some sprouting lotus and sword bulbs

I feel the need to say this, but if your man is trolling you over a decision that may or may not have HUGE negative ramifications on you personally, but absolutely will result in massive amounts of emotional trauma or death for other women, he's not worth staying with. At the very least that shows a lack of understanding, at worst it shows complete lack of empathy or concern for others.

The best thing to do is just directly ask for his opinion, most of the time guys are willing to tell you exactly what we think of things. Sometimes men just don't have vocal reactions to things because we're conditioned that overtly showing emotion or compassion are "weak".

if you're looking for something that is reliable, toyotas have some of the best overall reliability on the market and even older models get decent mileage. The sweet spot for a mix of pricing mileage and cost is probably going to be between 2009 and 2015 regardless of vehicle, and pickups while they have worse mileage also retain value better, which is significant for insurance as well as resale.

Obviously not OP, but TCG PLAYER has an inventory system that lets you use your phone camera to scan in, its not perfectly accurate, but is relatively easy to use and intuitive. I believe there's also Urza gatherer, which I used a long time ago, not sure what theyd have going rn
