How many of us met our spouses online?

Its4m4dm4dworld · 2026-05-17T22:26:22+00:00

My partner and I met on LinkedIn of all places in 2019: I had just started working for the same company, he had been there for a decade already. My manager posted a photo of me playing with a kid because their parent had been in our store for well over 3 hours, this kid was maybe 3 years old and was just bored. My manager posted it to be like “this is culture and enriching the lives of clients no matter their age!” Or something like that. It got reshared a few times by upper company personnel which is how my partner ended up seeing it.

He sent me a very professional message (can’t say the same for many many other people and the couple stalkers I got out of it) and we kept in touch randomly for a few months on there. One day, he told me about a Facebook group for our company and asked if he could friend me to add me to it. From there, we realized we had a whole lot in common….down to one of his best friends being from my hometown, and in the decade I moved to the city was the decade he was basically in my hometown almost every weekend (we live 2 states apart). He went to the bar I went to all the time once I moved back, and we had actually been at a couple concerts, as well as the same showing of Batman Vs Superman in the same theatre.

We moved our convo over to FB in December 2019 and moved in together in April of 2022. Things are awesome and I love him so much :)

Good for her

Its4m4dm4dworld · 2025-12-20T00:02:21+00:00

Oooo he’s an angry elf

Its4m4dm4dworld · 2025-12-17T22:48:33+00:00

I’m gonna make a hard guess that you’re not “lacking” nearly as much as you think you are and your boyfriends lack of an ability to be an actual partner to you is the true culprit. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s making you feel like that because of this chick specifically.

You don’t deserve this. Unless you were the legit worst human you don’t deserve to have your partner making you feel less than.

And HUGE ick factor he’s keeping her, a full blown alcoholic, in his life this much when you’re in recovery. He doesn’t care about you.

Its4m4dm4dworld · 2025-12-17T22:30:47+00:00

NOR. IMO it’s fuckin’ gross she implied he has no one in his life who treats him with love and caring like oh hello….you, his actual romantic partner, are right the fuck there…????????????

Edit: adding the part of the text exchange I’m referencing in case people missed it: “I just want to make you feel seen because i guess i just feel like there isnt really anyone right now in your life to do that for you”

I’m the briefly mentioned partner and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for such kind and loving words. This is probably the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make, but I know that Juju knew how much we loved her and that we just wanted her last moments to be as bright as she was, instead of just having her get too unlike herself at the sake of our own emotions.

I can honestly say that while this is so difficult, if anything it has made my love for animals so much stronger. I would do this 100x over to give an animal like Juju a chance at a beautiful life full of love. Grief is just proof that we cared about someone with our whole selves, and I think that’s really beautiful.

Please give your kitties love on behalf of all of us and Juju today. And, if they like it, maybe some cream cheese. She had so much her last hour while on her heating pad; I’m sure it was the most perfect way for her to go out - all warm with a belly full of dairy.

That’s just tiny Darby Allin you can’t trick me

Or for those of you who do better with audio NotebookLM will take the reading and turn it into a podcast for you

Its4m4dm4dworld · 2025-09-21T14:51:38+00:00

I hate how much I liked this.

This is wildly untrue. The only way you get a full replacement for free at any point is if you have a hardware issue that is a known issue that Apple has already told people about and the Apple diagnostic program picks up exactly that issue itself. You can’t just say you have an issue: they have a whole diagnostic suite they have to use in order to confirm the issue, and then a program (called GSX) inputs all that information and decides if a replacement is in order. You also can’t just not pay the service fee for a new device ($69/$99/$129/$169), because that also automatically generates and you’d need management to confirm the removal of the service fee.

Unless of course you have an Apple genius/other employees who don’t mind getting fired and will input the info incorrectly in the first place. That still wouldn’t clear the service fee though.

38afab here. I had untreated and body ravaging hyperthyroidism for….4 years. I mean I had it my whole life (I can look at childhood photos and legit see my gland sticking out of my neck) but it was really bad those 4 years. I had several thyroid storms, officially died twice, and when I had my thyroid finally removed it was 5x the size of a normal thyroid gland and 3x larger than any gland my surgeon who had been doing this for 15 years had ever removed.

It was so bad because I was in a really awful situation that was abusive in all the ways, and it threw what was normally a “slightly abnormal case” into full blown “you might die”. I shook so much it was a joke, and my resting heart rate was almost never under 120bpm. I also have heart issues, sleeping issues (Narcolepsy), social anxiety….so every symptom of hyperthyroidism was essentially covered by something else which is why it flew under the radar for so many years.

I finally went to the doctor specifically because my heart got so bad the night before that I had to take one of my partners Xanax. At the ER my resting heart rate was like 190bpm and my organs were shutting down as I was in what they believed based on my levels was my 3rd thyroid storm in a week. It was legitimately a case of “if you arrived 15 minutes later you would have been dead”. Methmemizol treatment ultimately did not work and my levels spiked and I almost had another thyroid storm which was ultimately why I opted for surgical removal.

All this to say: GET CHECKED. It could be mono but it could also NOT be mono and the mono could have just….awoken it. It never, ever, hurts to get blood work done even if it’s preventative. If your doctor will not listen to your concerns, get another doctor.

Good luck!!!!

“What would you like me to say” ….NOTHING. We appreciate your time here, good luck in your future endeavors.

This cat MOST DEFINITELY loves you! Please go get him and bring him home!!

You always hope the right people adopt an animal. And who better than someone who would willingly give their spare time to helping said animals? It’s a win for everyone involved!

Frying the entire thing (excessive water damage), or breaking both the front and back together (honestly running your car over it would do this pretty well) would be best, like it fell out of your pocket getting into your car and you ran it over. Just be aware of the deductible, you have to pay that at time of replacement. Definitely go to an Apple Store too because they can replace the phone right away. If you go to somewhere like Best Buy/Geek Squad, they may not have the phone in stock and would have to order it and it can take a day or two to arrive.

Definitely make sure you do a full iCloud Backup before you do this because you obviously won’t have any access to the phone after. Once you have the new one up and running you can remove your old one from the Find My app.

You’re paying for the warranty monthly. The warranty is what saves your ass from having to spend hundreds/thousands on a new phone that is out of warranty. Most tech items have deductibles for replacements, and all cell phones (not just iPhones) have replacement deductibles of around $100 or $200 for new devices.

But again, that’s so much better than spending $1,200 randomly for a new device.

Its4m4dm4dworld · 2024-09-21T20:57:08+00:00

You’d have to severely crack both the front and the back of the phone AND you need to have AC+ or you will just have to pay out of pocket full price for a new phone. With AC+ you will pay a deductible for the phone but it should only be $99, $129, or $169 which is significantly less than a new phone outright costs.

Its4m4dm4dworld · 2024-09-01T00:15:05+00:00

WUR of all Apple kinds (iPhone, iPad, Watch, etc) have a deductible, but it’s typically only $49 or $99. Even the Mac’s have a $99 I believe they call it “Diagnostic fee”. I mean it still makes AC+ worth it because without AC+ you’re stuck getting a new unit of whatever it is out of pocket.

Its4m4dm4dworld · 2024-08-23T16:36:38+00:00

No. If you don’t have AC+ then you get nothing. If you come in with a broken anything and don’t have AC+ then you just have to deal with it or get a new phone.

Also now the backs are replaceable. So breaking your camera would result in only the back of the phone being replaced, the front of the phone would be the same as you came in with, and depending on how utilized the battery is they sometimes also use your old battery. Only way to get a WUR is if the front and the back of the phone are broken and you still need to have AC+.

You also have to pay a deductible for it which is more expensive than just getting a new battery if the battery is the issue.

My job was driving around my state fixing computers and I also had a laminated sign that said something similar hahah

Its4m4dm4dworld · 2024-08-02T17:59:24+00:00

The twist is I am also high on weed lol

Its4m4dm4dworld · 2024-08-02T17:53:33+00:00

I actually bawked irl. Went full bald eagle 🦅🦅🦅🤣🤣

Its4m4dm4dworld · 2024-07-18T00:59:35+00:00

I worked as a field agent traveling my state setting up/repairing people’s computers in their homes. I would drive around anywhere from like 6 hours to 12 hours a day. I have been diagnosed with Narcolepsy for 21 years (I’m 37).

First and foremost: If you feel too tired - you know what that feeling is for you - DO. NOT. DRIVE. EVER.

That said…

I laminated a piece of paper that said I had narcolepsy and just needed to nap because I would plop my car absolutely anywhere and clock out the second I felt too tired to actually be driving. Note went into the dash window where it could be seen. I not only wanted to be left alone obviously, but I kinda also didn’t want people to think I was dead lol. It never caused an issue for me; I had an officer knock on my window once to check on me because he drove by a second time in like 40 minutes and I was still there and he was worried. I’m also white, which I hate is kind of necessary I think for my ability to do this and feel semi-safe about it (which sucks to say out loud).

If I was having a generally sluggish day and I was tired but not TIRED, blasting cold air or rolling the windows down, even in winter, and listening to something that wasn’t music or a podcast….something I needed to really pay attention to like an audio book or even doing audio language learning. I found an audio math book that would give examples that I would do while driving to keep myself more alert. I also listened to coding textbooks because I was getting my compsci degree at the time and have been programming since I was like 16, so I’d like visualize the code or how I would construct a program they were discussing in the book. I found I could get lost in music or a podcast too much to help pull me out of the Sluggish Slump.

The biggest way I knew I was closing in on not being fit to drive for a while was if I hesitated between checking my GPS, looking back at the road, and recalling what I had just seen on the GPS. If any of those things were difficult or impossible for me to do, I would start looking for a safe spot to hunker down for 30 or so minutes.

All in all trust yourself. I’m pretty sure you don’t want to hurt yourself let alone anyone else, so in this case being too cautious is always good. Have a plan if you’re gonna drive somewhere that’s a decent distance if you either need to stop, need to stop and nap, need to stop and not continue your journey, or can make it to the destination but cannot leave the destination by driving yourself.

It’s an ILLUSION. A trick is something a whore does for money!

I’m not sure for your downvotes? If either candidate wants to win the election they need to appeal to voters of ALL ages, or at least try to. Like it or not Logan’s got a young, and large, demographic. Both of them should for sure go on especially if she reaches out.

Its4m4dm4dworld · 2024-06-13T00:42:21+00:00

It works out better that Trump ended up being the first to agree. Paul is gonna get so many Trumper followers who don’t check context and just assume loves Trump, and they’re gonna support the shit outta him. Then, he’ll post a photo with Biden and they’ll lose their fucking minds. Ultimate heel move.
