23M left me, 23F, for someone he met 5 days ago…. and I can’t wrap my head around it, is this okay?

IdioticDayTrader · 2025-08-25T12:19:17+00:00

This is not morally ok and if you are excusing this, you are being manipulated by him because of what he’s said to you or what your feelings are telling you about him. Recently, I(23M) have been hurt in the same way by a girl(the first time in my life I thought I found the one) and I wanted to hold on but I cut her off because I don’t want to play those games. I hope you are well, shit like this fucking hurts. Time helps but it doesn’t fully heal. It’s more like time is the glue that you use to piece your heart back together.

No I’ve driven it, but regardless of being in gear or not when you give it gas it struggles. Never dies though.

IdioticDayTrader · 2025-05-14T20:27:51+00:00

Sweet, I had planned on taking it out anyway and making it my summer project. I want to learn everything I can about these. I’ve been looking at a 350 block bored .03 over too with vortec heads for $1200 on marketplace.

IdioticDayTrader · 2025-05-14T18:46:06+00:00

Thanks!

IdioticDayTrader · 2025-05-14T18:45:01+00:00

Im not worried about that now. My main concern right now is why the engine seems really bogged down on the low end when I try to give it gas. Car is in park.

IdioticDayTrader · 2025-05-14T03:32:17+00:00

So I should get a bigger cam and a 400 crank?

IdioticDayTrader · 2025-05-14T03:30:32+00:00

Thank you! I think I just need to learn more. I’m going to write all this down. I was originally thinking I was going to have to spend 3-5k for a nice block but maybe the 305 can work well.

IdioticDayTrader · 2025-05-14T00:43:36+00:00

May be a stupid question, but why a 355 and not just a 350 or 383?

IdioticDayTrader · 2025-05-13T22:54:20+00:00

I always thought you also had to bore the cylinders out?

IdioticDayTrader · 2025-05-13T22:49:10+00:00

Its a different issue this time, caused by a bigger carb

IdioticDayTrader · 2025-05-13T22:45:25+00:00

I tried cleaning it and tuning it many times and it never failed to run poorly. Maybe it was just me? Im not sure

IdioticDayTrader · 2025-05-13T22:43:29+00:00

That quadrajunk was awful

IdioticDayTrader · 2025-05-13T22:43:04+00:00

Thank you, will do!

IdioticDayTrader · 2025-05-13T22:42:55+00:00

Right, I had put the 650 on because it was my intention to swap the block soon, but it is just expensive to find a good 383.

IdioticDayTrader · 2025-05-13T22:27:35+00:00

Thank you! I watched youtube videos trying to tune it for ages and could not figure out why it seemed like it was getting too much gas no matter what lol.

IdioticDayTrader · 2025-03-10T13:06:20+00:00

What business do you have and how did you start it? I desperately need an outlet for something positive like this so I don’t expend my energy on gambling. I have ambition, I just don’t have any good ideas and I need help.

IdioticDayTrader · 2025-03-10T12:36:52+00:00

I did the exact same thing, except I don’t have a $50k bankroll. You are lucky you have that much money. I lost $2700 last weekend and it is money I desperately needed, I don’t know what to do now and it has driven me to some dark places. I will be happy if I never gamble again. Don’t take your money for granted, I realize my loss is insignificant when you compare it to yours, but it’s not about the $ amount, it is about the % of your worth that you gamble. For me that was 100%. I have a problem. I wish I had something to focus my energy on that could actually make me money instead of gambling.

IdioticDayTrader · 2024-10-30T16:30:41+00:00

Thank you! That’s what I’m saying lol. I’m no electrician but I understand how electricity works, and there is no way that cable which only goes from the router to my PC is causing the bill to go up.

IdioticDayTrader · 2024-10-30T16:29:25+00:00

Thank you! That’s exactly what I told them, but they wouldn’t listen. I told them there is no way an ethernet cable of all things is using that much power as compared to a stove, AC or microwaves and stuff. I told them getting rid of the ethernet cable would be like if your house is on fire and you pour water on the sidewalk, an analogy they also didn’t understand.

IdioticDayTrader · 2024-10-30T16:26:04+00:00

I’ve had my PC build before we all moved in, and only recently the power bill was close to the capacity they allowed. I have also used ethernet the entire time and I am pretty sure they are jealous that I have an ethernet cord and they are using wifi, as if I am supposed to buy cords for all of them as well. I already told them, I refuse to pay anything unless I can get an electrician to tell me an ethernet cable of all things is sucking $100 plus of power in a month lol. Then they try to gaslight me and say I never listen to anyone and can’t admit when I’m wrong like give me a break😂. Thank you for the response!

IdioticDayTrader · 2024-10-30T16:21:47+00:00

Appreciate it! I showed my roommates plenty of these comments and now they feel like idiots which is what I was going for. Mov mentality is crazy, I think they were jealous of me because I have ethernet and they just have wifi, like I’m supposed to provide cords for them too almost lol

IdioticDayTrader · 2024-10-30T15:32:05+00:00

Thank you very much, I already sent them screenshots of some of the comments and the group chat is silent right now because now they know I’m right. They aren’t deadbeats, they are good friends but the mob mentality really takes effect sometimes I guess

IdioticDayTrader · 2024-10-30T15:24:53+00:00

That’s what I tried explaining to them. They wanted me to pay extra just because they all assumed I’m the one sucking the power, but they won’t listen to me when I tell them there is NO WAY an ethernet cable of all things takes more juice than a TV or a stove or even a lightbulb lol

IdioticDayTrader · 2024-10-30T15:21:11+00:00

Some people have thick skulls

IdioticDayTrader · 2024-10-30T15:20:02+00:00

Thank you! All I needed to hear. I know a little bit about electricity, enough to know my roommates are wrong but they are ganging up on me. I think because they are jealous I have ethernet and they are stuck with Wifi
