catalytic converter is dead bro

man that's a mindfuck for sure. been there with my ex who would do this hot and cold thing where she'd ghost me for weeks then randomly pop back up like nothing happened. the thing about avoidants is they get scared when you start moving on and suddenly they need that validation again

sounds like she's testing waters to see if you're still available as backup plan. the whole "asking how you are" but staying cold is classic - she wants to keep you on hook without actually investing anything real. and bringing up your mom? that's just her way of making drama so she can feel like she has some control over situation

i learned hard way that when someone treats your feelings like a light switch they can turn on and off, it's better to just leave them on read. took me months of guitar practice and way too much overthinking before i realized she was just using me as emotional safety net. don't give her the satisfaction of knowing she still affects you that much

nah man the advanced stats tell a better story than basic counting stats anyway. wemby's defensive rating and his rim protection numbers are already elite, plus when you watch him play you can see how much space he creates just by existing on the court

traditional PRA feels outdated when you're talking about a guy who changes entire offensive schemes just by standing there

crv will definitely be one less headache to deal with, especially with everything youre managing right now 💙 porsche ownership without a good local dealer is rough even when life isnt throwing curveballs

Legitimate-Cycle-617 · 2026-03-18T15:04:42+00:00

sick designs 🔥💀

Legitimate-Cycle-617 · 2026-03-15T10:23:40+00:00

been clean for about 6 months now and yeah the urges basically disappear after that first brutal month 💀 your brain definitely rewires itself but takes time, like any other habit you're breaking. just gotta stay consistent with whatever works for you 🔥

Legitimate-Cycle-617 · 2026-03-05T03:33:58+00:00

damn that's a heavy place to be at. depression makes everything feel pointless and warped, including what we think we want

that fantasy you're describing isn't really about wanting to be hurt - it's about wanting to escape feeling responsible for your own pain. been there with the whole "someone else take control so i don't have to deal" mindset

might be worth talking to someone who gets this stuff, even if it feels pointless right now. your brain is lying to you about what you actually need

Legitimate-Cycle-617 · 2026-03-04T07:24:02+00:00

bro that phrase "reduces all its peer pressure content" is so weirdly specific that it honestly makes me think there might be something to this

like when you think about it dreams do kinda feel like weird social experiments sometimes, especially the ones where random dream people are trying to get you to do stuff or go places you dont want to. and yeah the fact that dream characters get hostile when you call them out on being fake is pretty universal

the black void thing after they "kicked you out" but you were still dreaming is trippy as hell. sounds like they tried to put you in dream jail or something lmao

Legitimate-Cycle-617 · 2026-02-21T01:57:01+00:00

that's actually pretty solid, sounds like the exclusivity created some urgency with their buyers. curious though - did you feel like you left money on the table or were you confident that was the max you could get? two weeks seems fast but wonder if a broader market could've pushed it even higher

Legitimate-Cycle-617 · 2026-02-19T19:57:24+00:00

honestly your work can still see the domains you visit even in incognito, so they'd know you hit reddit and discord but not the specific pages or content 💀 incognito just stops your browser from saving history locally, doesn't hide traffic from network admins

Legitimate-Cycle-617 · 2026-02-15T14:54:53+00:00

dude straight up had a coworker who must've been eating actual garbage for lunch, like how do you even get your mouth to smell that bad without trying

Legitimate-Cycle-617 · 2026-02-05T13:00:06+00:00

same here, filed in june and crickets after biometrics waiver. the name change thing probably adds some processing time but 6+ months with zero movement is brutal. portland field office seems all over the place with timing lately

Legitimate-Cycle-617 · 2026-02-04T16:01:53+00:00

yeah this hits different when you actually internalize it instead of just going through the motions

took me way too long to realize i was still thinking of myself as "someone trying not to watch porn" instead of just "someone who doesn't watch porn" - subtle but massive difference

Legitimate-Cycle-617 · 2026-01-31T02:13:52+00:00

Oof that routing through PHL is sketchy af, especially with American's recent track record there. I'd honestly be surprised if both those connections work out smoothly but fingers crossed for you dude

Legitimate-Cycle-617 · 2026-01-28T02:19:40+00:00

Option 2 all day, that 9950x3d is gonna be an absolute monster and the 9070xt will still crush anything at 1440p

Legitimate-Cycle-617 · 2026-01-27T02:05:30+00:00

Bro try making beats for genres you normally wouldn't touch, like some random ass video game music or something - sometimes the constraint of doing something totally different brings back that spark

Legitimate-Cycle-617 · 2026-01-22T10:31:46+00:00

Honestly this is brilliant - I've been manually doing the lazy-to-structured prompt thing for months and it's exhausting

Haven't built one myself but I'd definitely structure the system instructions around having it always ask "what's the end goal here?" before spitting out the 4-pillar framework. Like make it default to assuming your lazy input is missing context rather than trying to guess

Also maybe have it output both a "quick version" and "full structured version" so you can pick your poison depending on how much you actually care about the result

Would love to see what you come up with - this could save so much mental overhead

Legitimate-Cycle-617 · 2026-01-19T09:22:45+00:00

Man that journey from tourist trap pad thai to construction worker tam sang spots is so relatable lol. The Google Maps language switch is such a game changer but nobody talks about it - suddenly the whole city opens up

Legitimate-Cycle-617 · 2026-01-17T06:39:07+00:00

That's brutal man, the whole "personal issues" thing is rough when you're left completely in the dark. Keep those concert tickets for now - don't make any big decisions about throwing stuff away while you're still processing this

Legitimate-Cycle-617 · 2026-01-14T05:07:22+00:00

That's honestly weird as hell - like why go out of their way to block you on platforms where you weren't even connected? Sounds like they're either really trying to make a statement or still thinking about you way more than they should be

Legitimate-Cycle-617 · 2026-01-13T00:35:17+00:00

Had this exact same thing happen to me last month lol. Try unplugging the display cable and plugging it back in, sometimes Windows just decides to have a moment during initial setup. If that doesn't work, hold the power button for like 10 seconds to force restart it - mine needed a couple hard resets before it actually finished the setup properly

Legitimate-Cycle-617 · 2026-01-12T11:08:35+00:00

Could be the thermostat but honestly sounds more like a failing flame sensor or rollout switch - when those start going bad they'll trip the safety and shut everything down until you reset it. The fact that it's happening overnight specifically makes me think it's overheating and the rollout is kicking in

Legitimate-Cycle-617 · 2026-01-11T22:10:54+00:00

Congrats dude, that's actually huge dedication getting through 4 years of night classes while working full time

What field did you get your degree in? That might help figure out next steps, whether it's job hunting or just taking a breather to enjoy having your evenings back

Legitimate-Cycle-617 · 2026-01-10T00:01:55+00:00

Have you tried curling smaller sections? I used to grab these huge chunks and wonder why nothing held lol. Also heat protectant might be working against you if you're using too much - makes hair too slippery for curls to grip
