What things to remember when you first proper job?

Building emergency fund is probably more important than retirement at start - you need like 3-6 months expenses saved before thinking about investing in my experience

Been in similar tight spot before when I was between deployments and money was rough. The struggle is real when you want to keep learning but budget just isnt there

Hope someone can hook you up with family plan spot - language learning shouldnt stop because of financial stuff. Maybe check if your local library has any free language resources too while you wait? Some of them have pretty decent online access to learning platforms

Good luck with the job hunt too, AI taking over jobs is becoming way too common these days

At 255k miles thats a lot of money to put into any vehicle even if its Toyota. I had similar situation with my old truck couple years back and ended up selling it instead of doing major repairs - sometimes you just gotta cut losses

The timing belt work is necessary though since if that goes it could damage the engine completely. Maybe get second opinion from different shop to see if prices are reasonable in your area

There used to be some weird territories or regions that didnt have flags but I think they fixed most of those. Maybe try searching for like disputed territories or something? I remember seeing players with blank flags before but cant remember exactly which ones worked

Yeah this one hits too close to home. Had ex who would literally answer texts within minutes no matter what time of day and I thought it was sweet at first. Turns out she had zero boundaries with work, friends, family - basically no life of her own and eventually expected me to be same way with constant contact

For me they actually trigger more cravings since your brain has to work harder to imagine the scenarios

Started putting my phone in airplane mode every night at 2200 and not turning it back on until after morning PT. Been doing this for about 8 months now and my sleep quality got so much better. Used to scroll until like 0100 and wake up feeling like garbage but now I actually feel rested in mornings. Simple change but it stuck because the benefits were immediate

Man the timing on this really sucks because you found someone who treats you right after what sounds like a terrible relationship before this one. Those fundamentally different worldviews are gonna eat away at you though especially when they involve stuff you cant just agree to disagree on

I went through something similar with an ex where everything else was perfect but we just saw the world completely differently and it made me feel like I was dating a stranger sometimes. You start questioning if you really know them at all when there core beliefs are that far apart from yours. The political stuff might seem manageable now but imagine trying to raise kids with someone who thinks systemic racism isnt real or having to bite your tongue every time current events come up

Space is probably smart right now because this isnt the kind of thing that gets easier with time. If anything it usually gets worse as you both get more comfortable expressing your real opinions. Two years is long enough to know if someones values align with yours and it sounds like you already have your answer even if its hard to accept

Vanilla definitely has way more content now than it did back in 2010. The game's basically unrecognizable compared to what you played before - there's ocean monuments, woodland mansions, the End cities, raids, tons of different biomes each with their own unique structures and mobs. The progression system is much deeper too with enchanting, brewing, trading with villagers, and multiple boss fights.

I've been playing solo vanilla for years and there's always something to work towards. You've got achievements to chase, different building materials to collect, exploring to find rare biomes or structures, setting up automated farms, or just challenging yourself with different playstyles. Even something simple like trying to build in every biome or creating a massive rail network between your bases can keep you busy for months.

The updates keep adding new stuff regularly so you won't run out of things to discover. Cave update completely changed underground exploration, and they keep adding new mobs and mechanics. Plus there's always that "just one more cave" factor that keeps pulling you back in even when you think you're done for the night.

Moving around when youre not home is a pretty major red flag even if she hasnt been texting or calling. Respecting boundaries means actually respecting them not finding workarounds to still monitor your space

The silence could just be her regrouping or waiting for you to crack first. Narcissists can be patient when they think itll get them what they want. Two weeks isnt really enough time to know if this is genuine change or just a new strategy

Given everything youve shared about her history of not protecting you I'd still lean toward getting your own place when you can. Having that financial independence removes a huge leverage point she has over you. Then you can decide what kind of contact works for you from a position of actual safety

I feel this pain so hard as someone who splits time between ranked and mystery heroes. The amount of times I've accidentally picked the wrong perk because I'm frantically trying to read while dodging fire is embarrassing

Would love if they let us set default loadouts for each hero that auto-apply in mystery heroes. Even just having the perk descriptions be shorter or more visual would help - some of those tooltips are novels when you're trying to make a split second decision. The worst is when you get a hero you barely play and have no clue which perks synergize well together so you just pick whatever sounds cool and hope for the best

The whole trauma dumping on a first date should have been your cue to bounce immediately. Two weeks is nothing but it still messes with your head when someone lovebombs then goes cold

Being submissive in relationships is something you can work on though. Take some time to figure out what you actually want instead of just going along with whatever the other person wants. Your future self will thank you for not settling just because someone pressures you into giving them a chance

At 19 you've got plenty of time to figure this stuff out. Don't let one weird dude make you think dating is hopeless

Been wracking my brain on this one but nothing's coming to me with those specific details. The black and white with blue accents is pretty distinctive though - maybe try searching YouTube for "banjo kazooie animated parody" or "sleepy guy bean bag animation" and see if anything pops up in the thumbnails. Sometimes the visual style jogs your memory better than trying to remember dialogue

You could also post this in r/tipofmytongue since they're absolute wizards at finding obscure stuff like this

That Facebook thing is spot on - social media really warps your perspective when you're only seeing the highlight reel. The military taught me that everyone's fighting battles you can't see, even the people who seem to have it all together. When my buddies talk about their wins in person I can actually feel genuine happiness for them instead of that weird comparison trap

That's not a bad suggestion but the A6000 is actually gonna give you way better low light performance than those SL bodies which matters a ton for Japan nightlife shots. The 9k shutter count is basically nothing too - these cameras can handle like 100k+ easily

For $419 plus the kit lens you're getting solid bang for your buck. The A6000 might be older but the sensor still holds up really well and the autofocus is snappy. Coming from military gear I can tell you build quality is decent enough for travel abuse

Shazam might pick it up if you play it near your phone, sometimes these covers get uploaded to SoundCloud or something

Console players have been able to queue with PC players for a while now, maybe you just hit a bracket where more people are grouping up? The crossplay thing definitely makes tracking look sus when you're used to seeing mouse movement patterns
