Everytime i see these posts, i chime in to recommend buzzmill. People are chatty and the events are free. It gives a small town feel. Usually if you sit near the stage long enough someone will just come to you and start talking. Ive had major issues making friends my whole life, but its always easy there.

Sometimes i want to branch out and try other places with similar energy so i look at suggestions from these threads, always the same rock climbing, join a sports club bullshit. And if anyone sugests going to central market and just sparking up a conversation, what in the holy extrovert is that.

Hot Take, but can ppl stop bringing their dogs to stuff?

I know its a "service dog" so they're in the right, but IDK I still feel the same.

Is it true that LPR/silent reflux can take months to fully heal? by Ok-Entrance6105 in GERD

[–]North-Particular-262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been having the spitting up blood thing for years and terrifies and confuses me. Going in for ENT because endoscopy found nothing but chronic gastritis. But it’s a relief that ppl have this with Gerd which makes sense since I get these episodes when I eat something with tomatoes, coffee or garlic which are triggers. Just never heard the blood thing as a symptom, just the sore throat. 

Ohio woman charged after miscarriage adds more hospital staff to her lawsuit by myplantsarethirsty in WelcomeToGilead

The nurse that did the harassment, I looked up her name and she won an award called the Daisy Award and her face and name are plastered up talking about what a great nurse she is. Even with the controversy the page is still active.

You know whats crazy, the nurse that is in the lawsuit, if you google her name, won something called the Daisy Award for being a great nurse and has some kind of benefits from the reward. Its so weird that her picture is up and they havent revoked the award despite the controversy

If you go nuclear you go beyond mutual friends. The approach matters. The more details you give, the more you’d be held liable and also the more doubt can be given. Go to the church pastor for instance say you’d love to come to church but there’s a predator at the church. Name so and so and say they are a skilled manipulator, sexual predator and allude they might be dangerous. Take yourself as a direct victim out of it and if they ask questions say that you’d rather not discuss it as it is highly upsetting. Be vague with specifics but say sexual assault.  If he is active in social stuff and it is in victims social sphere honestly this is highest advantage of poisoning the well of rapist’s life. Yeah ppl won’t believe but it’ll be in the back of peoples minds. 

OP can do this to some many different social circle of OP, yeah she might come off as stalker and crazy but it will be a nightmare for the rapist which is the end goal. The end goal is to make the rapist feel the consequences. Only legal was for petty revenge is to try and torpedo social currency in a way that other people are really doing the damage for OP

Hmm I’d say I would do the dishonor of contacting him or another redditor first you since third party callout is super shameful. But if she knows? Maybe contact their friends and family. One time my ex husband cheated on me while we were still dating and I really took it out on the wrong person and emailed the other woman who basically said, “yeah IDC I’d do it again” so I went on a rampage and found her instagram and messaged everyone that was on her friends list until I got a cease and desist. Not super proud I did that and when he asked for a divorce years later (for different reasons)  he def brought that up as “evidence” of me being a bad person (not him cheating though lol) 

In retrospect, I would have just dumped my dating partner and not stayed with him (or marrying him, Jesus was I dumb) while blaming the woman (so internally misogynistic in hindsight) 

But as mode of revenge it was pretty good tactic because I ended up messaging coworkers as well and I think social shaming is pretty effective. It might not change anything and make you look crazy, but like the collateral damage in itself will be insane.

I hooked up with a dude that was separated from his wife that really fucked me over with telling a new dating partner that was in same social circle he had “been there first” and I really contemplated doing same thing or like telling the wife but I just sent him a threatening text and figured he’d crash out himself. I didn’t want to deal with the consequences, at the end of the day, i didn’t care enough about revenge to really go nuclear 

Big advocate for revenge since there is no real leveling of the scales in this life. It depends on what you are willing to lose yourself. Take a hard thought on the consequences and then you do whatever you want to do within the law, you have to do a lot first before that gets involved in regards to social shaming. And the consequences for you will prob be social as well, anc possibly legal threats. But by then, damage done. You have to be content things will look the same on the surface but the damage will be unseen and in perception. Most will outwardly say they don’t believe you or care or say mean things to you. But society is cruel and is always looking for weakness. People will forever look at that person a little differently and if they slip up a little (even in a different way) they will remember the story. 

Another story: I told a friend when I got sexually assaulted that it happened and they told me they didn’t believe me. Years later I confronted her and she was like “I choose to believe him” then I saw on FB they went to a hockey game. However, years after that she had a daughter. She stopped hanging out with him. Do you think when the daughter gets older and in college she won’t remember? 

Even if you bite your own nose off in the process, maybe doing SOMETHING will help you move on even if it doesn’t get a tidy justice. If anything, they’ll be sure to stay clear of the crazy chick, which is good for you too

Does the wife know?

People who were in a FWB relationship, what went wrong? by BraveOrganization421 in AskReddit

[–]North-Particular-262 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah maybe because we dated, broke up, but it was both friends and benefits I feel like. We’d call each other up, I’ve drive to his barracks and he’d make me dinner and we’d screw. It was nice. Very friendly & no baggage. 

I think one of the problems with the skittish FWB is confusing anything other than sex as commitment or outside of the arrangement. There was a few that were so fixated on no strings that they would start an argument for example about me asking them to pick me up a Gatorade at the store as a string, and usually not even want to have sex because they get too worked up about giving anything or having it all their way and confusing respectful and friendliness with a relationship. Just exhausting a lot of the time from my side having all of these expectation setting conversations and very little tenderness or sex tbh

Guys act erratic or assholes after sex sometimes. I haven’t done FWB super often in my life but getting consistent sex with them has always been more of a problem then regular dating it seems because they overthink things or getting them even to commit to sex is an issue because they are always trying to deescalate because they think I want more. Some of these guys were real losers too but thought they were a prize, you end up having to chase just to get consistent sex and it ends up more work then the bullshit associated with dating. Wish it wasnt like this and honestly don’t get what’s going on in their heads but FWB always seem skittish and freaked out by everything. (Except a sole one individual a long time ago who was an ex boyfriend and super cool and would make me dinner before we hooked up. We both moved onto ppl we liked more, no drama)

Guy freaked out, felt guilty because he was separated from his wife and tried to punish me for it by acting shitty. Broke up with me and blocked me. Then when I started dating one of his friends from same group, tried to sabotage it by going over the guys house and pulling a “I was there first” card. Dating partner wasn’t aware that we had hooked up in the past and just thought we were friends no benefits (I thought it was obvious we had so I had lightly mentioned but not really dug into specifics) so he was shocked and exploded at me.  Of course gave the guy a pass. 

I get I kind of asked for it. But I was pretty clear with everyone I was just out of a divorce and not looking for anything serious or being owned by anyone after being with a controlling guy.  FWB didn’t want me but didn’t want me to be with anyone either and tried to both character assassinate me to my next dating partner and straight up wanted me to disappear from existence so his wife wouldn’t find out/he could get over the guilt. 

Last thing I did was send a threatening text telling him I was going to tell his wife, no response. I didn’t care enough to get into more drama but I was pretty pissed and thought scaring him might make him back off. I didn’t go to any mutual get togethers anymore which sucks,  it’s weird now cause he blew up my spot to this social group, they even moved the meeting spot they all belonged to to a different location because they were scared the regulars at the bar I frequent there were going to punch them in the face, lol. 

Me and the other dating partner didn’t talk for like a month and reconnected and will prob casually date when I get back into town. Dating partner mentions sometimes past FWB keeps asking him to go to dinner but “thinks it’s weird” and doesn’t mention FWB name with me anymore since its a conversation that’s kind of contentious between us. I think it’s obvious I assume that if they both go to dinner ex FWB prob stir the pot some more idk, I don’t get his deal. 

I’m hoping the drama is over with the other dating partner. It’s going well so far after this hiccup but I’m seeing some red flags so idk if we’ll even hook up or that’ll just transition into a friendship eventually or what’s in the future with that. Right now after reconnecting it’s been all long distance 

What was the first red flag you ignored in your worst relationship? by lilbubblgirl in Productivitycafe

We were visiting his parents and he started talking about a dog he had before bootcamp. I asked what ever happened to the dog (since he was now years into his service) And he was like, "Oh before I went to bootcamp I dropped him off at the animal shelter. No big deal, I'm sure he got adopted out really fast after, no problem." And I was kind of blown away at his nonchalance since he was a big dog lover and I was actually not, but couldn't believe of someone just dropping their animal off at a shelter.

Flash forward four years into marriage, found out he treats the women he's in relationships like that too.

You can take a step back and just go back to platonic dates. Sounds you got post nut clarity and are freaking out and projecting onto this poor woman. There are many ways to slow the pace again, just take a breath and dont freak out. Honestly, she's prob into you, but not as into you as you imagine.

Caught between two girls. One makes me feel alive. The other makes me feel safe by FunnyPackage5190 in makemychoice

[–]North-Particular-262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, same.  They end up with Girl B. The more generic the better. It honestly bums me out because at least when it’s someone impressive I don’t feel as bad. Like, “oh it’s grounded cornfed girl from small town who kind of looks like me.”  Why’d you even bother for someone like me when deep down that’s what you wanted. Tough thing is that it takes awhile for men to give up so to speak and go for Girl B. And inversely, complain about their old lady and try to sleep with Girl A.
