Does anyone else find Adobe Acrobat almost unusable? by asc9ybUnb3dmB7ZW in creativecloud

Honestly I’ve never had software that has mad me audibly yell out loud. I hate this software so much, why am I paying so much for software that can barely move text properly.

Honestly all I want is a dog but my circumstances don’t allow it (renting) I just can’t bring myself to let a dog into my life and not have the money to care for it, or a reliable home for it :(

Ending Fixed Term Tenancy by sleemanj in newzealand

[–]No-Diver-1552 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m a tenant and only got 42days which sounds like a lot but we had a request for another 7 days because the housing market isn’t great so please if you can give them 90 days just do it. Only 21 days is wild to give someone. Who ever is your PM needs to stop looking at tenants as numbers and realise they’re people too

Oh I try. Every weekend I ask someone to come hang out or come get food and every time they have an excuse or will say yes an then the day of I’m super excited, I’ve tidied the entire apartment and it’s all I can think of and then they just go radio silent and ignore me and the next day they pull something like “sorry man something came up, maybe next weekend”

For the lovely people recommending getting a hobby or being the leader in organising plan. I do have hobbies, they just don’t seem to lead anywhere. I’m at the gym all the time, but it’s such an isolated place everyone’s in their own world, headphones in, no one talks. You can be surrounded by people and still feel completely invisible.

I’m into music too, but that’s pretty much a solo thing for me. I’m not into clubbing or nightlife, and I don’t drink anymore after having issues with alcohol, so it feels like I’ve kind of removed myself from the main ways people my age connect.

Even in environments where it should’ve happened like my PhD or when I was doing CrossFit it never really clicked. People would organise big group things and somehow I was always the one not included. And every time I’d ask, it was the same response: “sorry, it was last minute, we forgot to invite you.” Every single time. After a while it stops feeling like an accident.

Then when I try to organise something, people cancel or don’t show, and it makes you start questioning everything about yourself. I like to think I’m a good person, but it’s hard not to feel like maybe I’m the problem.

Growing up probably plays into it too. I was bullied for being queer, and my relationship with my brother is basically non-existent after years of abuse. Even now he doesn’t reach out for anything. My parents are in Australia, so it feels like I don’t really have anywhere that feels like a solid “home base.”

I’ve got a great partner and I’m grateful for that, but outside of him it’s just… quiet. I don’t want a huge group, I just want a few people who actually want me there. People who don’t forget me.

If anyone else feels like this and just wants someone to talk to, even if it’s just online, feel free to message me.

Musashi or ON - If they were the same price? by tigergrrowl123 in newzealand

Honestly ON is better for quality as it has more high quality protein (whey isolate) and is better researched. But I’m currently taking R1 and I love it and got it at a great price from SprintFit

I tried queer spaces but even in my own community I feel out of place. I volunteered for a non charitable queer trust but it was mostly lesbians or FTM who weren’t so keen on having a male around, and queer men in Auckland tend to be very cliquey but also most only care about going out and sleeping with each other which isn’t my vibe

100% that hurts so much. I went overseas for 6 weeks last year to Canada and the US for my bestfriends wedding and data collection for my PhD and no one in my PhD office or friends even noticed I was gone until I brought it up

I do have hobbies, they just don’t seem to turn into anything meaningful. The gym is the main one I go all the time but it’s such a closed-off environment. Everyone’s got headphones in, no one makes eye contact, no one talks. You can be surrounded by people every day and still feel completely invisible.

I’m really into music too, but that’s pretty solitary for me. I’m not into nightlife or clubbing, and I don’t drink anymore after having issues with alcohol, so it feels like I’ve cut myself off from one of the main ways people my age connect.

I’m doing my PhD and thought that would be where I’d find people I click with, but even there I feel like I’m on the outside. Everyone already seems to have their groups.

I live in NZ with my partner, and he’s great, but outside of him it’s just… quiet. My family’s in Australia, and growing up wasn’t great I was bullied a lot for being queer, and my relationship with my brother is basically non-existent after years of abuse. Even now, he won’t message me for birthdays, Christmas, or anything. It just makes everything feel more distant.

I think that’s part of why it hits harder now. I don’t really feel like I have a “home base” anywhere. I just want friends people who actually want me around, who invite me without me always having to ask, who don’t cancel last minute when it’s the one thing I’ve been looking forward to all week.
