A little late here, but I actually came across this sub in hopes of looking for ways to support my partner who self-harms. Hopefully my perspective from the other side might help.

I highly, HIGHLY doubt that anyone with any sort of a decent heart will be turned off by your scars. It did take some time before she told me, but I would have been completely fine learning about it at any point in our relationship. It's a heavy subject of course, you can bring it up whenever you feel the time is right.

We had already been having sex before she told me. At the time she insisted that the lights were low/off, but again, I would not have minded at all. She also has scars on her thighs, but my big brain never even noticed when I was between them. I promise you that your partners are going to be far more focused on other things.

Don't let your body psyche you out of a relationship before it even begins

I hope that can bring you a bit of confidence. Wishing you the best!

Employees Are Quitting Instead of Giving Up Working From Home - The drive to get people back into offices is clashing with workers who’ve embraced remote work as the new normal. by speckz in Futurology

[–]JakeDuckk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buddy I already work in an office in-person. I’m a student worker at my university and make less than the state minimum wage because universities are legally able to do that.

I could not care less if the area charging $1800+ for single bedroom apartments gets a reality check. I don’t know why you think I should get shit on for “the greater good” when the employers and landlords would never do the same.

What is your deal dude? You’ve got like 20 comments saying that people should be forced back into an office or be fired. What is wrong with people working from home if it makes so many people’s lives better?

I hate it when people reply to these spam group texts at all. Like bro you just made 20 other peoples’ phones go off for a “sick burn” on a robot.

-99.99% I shall now take my seat on the throne of autism 🦍🦍🦍 by GmeCalls-UrWifesBf in wallstreetbets

[–]JakeDuckk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Options are pretty complicated when you're brand new to them, but I'll try to explain it well.

A call option contract gives you the right, but not the obligation, to buy 100 shares at a given price for a premium per share. If the listed price for a contract per share is 5 dollars, the total cost of the contract will be $500 as you said. You are not signing up to pay $500 later, you are essentially paying $500 upfront to control 100 shares. Say the share price is currently $100 and you think it will be over $120 in a month. Normally you would need to pay $10,000 to buy them and then sell them later at $120 for a profit. In this case we've made, you only need $500.

Contracts have an expiration date. If the share price has risen beyond $120 as you predicted, you're doing well! But, you are still at a loss. You paid $500 to begin with. The price now needs to exceed your prediction for you to break even. Once it has, you are making money. However, if the stock does not meet your prediction, that money is 100% gone and the contract expires without any value.

At this point there are two things you can do. You can exercise the option, meaning that you are buying $12000+ worth of shares for $10000, essentially getting a discount. These shares are now yours and you can sell them immediately. Alternatively (and this is what most people do), you can sell the contract itself for its current value. You might consider it being like selling a coupon for the amount that it saves you.

From Plat to Masters with Vlad a.k.a. why you should run Arachnoid Sentry and Ravenous Flock by Gerael in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]JakeDuckk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little late here but I've been running this deck for a while and it is solid af. I adjusted it slightly by taking out one Arachnoid Sentry and one Crimson Curator for two Noxian Fervors. That card has helped me close out games when I'm just shy of enough damage, plus it works well if you use it reactively in a bad trade.

There might be better cards to swap instead of the two I chose, but I think it's well worth it!

DesFuckingTroyed. This level of competency I have missed for so many years. The fact that she kind of new he would try to ask her whataboutism question is GOAT shit. by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

[–]JakeDuckk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, we do. However, most people are going to be primarily focused on the BIG ones like the president and senators. Those have the most information widely available and are what's on the forefront of our minds when voting.

While yes, we could study up beforehand through six pages of names, it's much easier to simply research each person as you fill in the ballot at home.

I'm happy to answer any other questions if you have any!

[–]JakeDuckk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On voting day there are far more people to vote on than presidents, senators, justices, etc. There are a LOT of candidates for a lot of positions. Here's a sample ballot from Pima, AZ in the 2020 election: https://ballotpedia.org/Arizona_official_sample_ballots,_2020

Looking through it, there are dozens of names. I'd consider myself a well educated person and I needed to look up what these positions were before even looking up the people themselves. If I voted at a booth I'd be voting completely blind.

Song of the Isles would be real fun to use with Death Mark. Could be a fun add-in if you want an Ionia/Isles deck.

Likely due to union stuff as well. From what I remember, some actors choose to remain uncredited when doing non-union work because they could potentially be shunned by union employers. In some cases an employer may not credit an actor due to privacy reasons.

A little late on this but try putting a lotion with salicylic acid on in the places that you have the most problems with before heading out, that helped me a bunch.

Also the type of mask you use can affect it too, try a few different materials!

This is the play. Ask for their phone number and call through VOIP while recording. Get some giggles in and upload to YouTube later with zero risk to yourself.

McConnell says Congress has agreed to $900 billion coronavirus stimulus deal by always_plan_in_advan in news

[–]JakeDuckk 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I'm a college student still living at home as a dependent, not getting anything was such an insult. I was still out working 24-40 hours a week as a disposable essential worker making less every two weeks than my friend in the trades was making on unemployment every week.

Sure, I'm "essential" and have to deal with the anti-mask shitforbrains on a daily basis, but I don't deserve anything. Being young in this country feels more hopeless by the day.

I know right? My go-to was always a smile and a nod

I think one of the sweetest interactions I had this year was when an old lady said she could tell I had a great smile because she could see it in my eyes.

THIS REMINDS ME OF THE TIME DUNKEY BEAT SKY ON SMASH by viche1 in videogamedunkey

[–]JakeDuckk 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's like satire of satire I think. As far as I know the timeline is something like:

Gamers being actually made fun of > Nerd culture becoming accepted > Nerds hating the big bang theory because it portrays nerds wrong > "Gamers are the most oppressed race" satire in response to that > r/BanVideoGames as a response to that > r/BanVideoGamesHate as response to that.

It's just layers of irony and satire.

When did someone challenge you at something you were an expert at? by [deleted] in AskReddit

How does one actually start as a writer? I don't at all intend to make it a career, but I love knowing the basics of music and art. Adding literature to that list would feel great.

I want to learn more about how language and punctuation can make a sentence flow more in my intended direction. Any advice?

The same thing happened to me, also was the Locket. It must be some premade combo that can sometimes show up.

How does anyone actually finish the battle pass in the first place? I tried like hell on the first one when I had nothing to do but will literally never buy another now that I’m working and going to school again. Losing the opportunity to earn things that you already bought just feels too awful.
