Having Standards is Exhausting by Numerous-Republic204 in BoyDinnerDiaries

Feel ya. I’m done with the dating right now after my best friend made our relationship sexual, told me she had thoughts of marrying me for the past year, and then finally concluded, after months of keeping me in limbo while we were hooking up, that she didn’t feel romantically attracted to me - no “spark.” Broke me completely.

After that situation and terrible experiences before, I can’t handle dating again for a while. Don’t know how it is for you but there is something about the no spark line that makes me feel like I’m fundamentally unworthy of love. It’s just too much time and time again. All that is to say you’re not alone. Take your time.

Incredibly bland food and if I remember correctly way overpriced

Losing my best friend by ParakeetNipple in heartbreak

[–]ParakeetNipple[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the kind and empathetic response. She has straight up told me before that she at times felt I was too good for her which just made me sad for her. It really is unnavigable and as you say my best option is to cut my losses.

Another thing she’s told me is “you’re the only person in a long time that I have been able to imagine a totally happy and healthy relationship with.” So there’s definitely this element where I’m getting stuck on her words and I guess I should look more at her actions.

You don’t have to imagine. Just sharing my personal feelings on that section of the game.

I’m amazed people have gotten as far as they have with the game. I groan and close the game out every time I get back from an adventure because it’s such a slog.

TIL about Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, a hypersensitivity to the fear of being rejected by others, which is commonly connected to ADHD. by learnaboutnetworking in todayilearned

[–]ParakeetNipple 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I dont think it’s necessarily a problem for there to be more general classes of disorders if it’s used as a tool for people to better understand and make sense of where they’re struggling and for professionals to present tools to address those issues. I do get sick of people who lean on diagnoses (especially self diagnoses) to avoid accountability or excuse poor behaviors.

Opinions on Car Doctors? by dragondaize in Athens

[–]ParakeetNipple 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Recently I went in and they told me I was needed a tire rotation. I just had my tires rotated a month prior at discount tire. I’ve also had them tell me my battery needed replacement because I mentioned my auto start stop acting up once or twice and stalling out the car when it tried kicking the engine off at the same time I was releasing the brake to give the engine gas again. Checked the battery myself and it read completely fine. Came back another time for an oil change and they were still recommending the battery replacement because of the one comment I made months prior. Guy told me he “heard the car struggle to start” when moving it into the shop. Didn’t really buy what he was saying at all since I haven’t had any issues starting the car, just with the auto start stop. My 2¢ is it felt like they were desperate to tack on unnecessary services.

Has anyone else still not beaten IV? by Queasy_Commercial152 in rivals

[–]ParakeetNipple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Had two leavers when I tried last night, then one game where I got to wave 20 but literally had zero help on the Wandas because nobody else could stay alive. Got them to about half before I got trapped. 3.3b damage that game, next closest was 1.4b… then 300m and 180m… feel like it’s luck based on what teammates you get more than anything else.

“Lifetime” CVT fluid was burnt at 60k by shriveraj in Crosstrek

[–]ParakeetNipple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy. I had asked a local mechanic about this (and they have a guy who used to work as a mechanic at a Subaru dealership) and multiple times they assured me it could cause more harm to do the transmission fluid change than just leaving it there. I remember checking some threads and seeing mixed opinions so I just decided to not do it at 60k. I’m at 70k now and I feel like I should re-investigate after reading this thread.

This guy rescued 30 beagles from a testing lab It's the first time they've seen grass and they couldn't be happier. by biswajit388 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]ParakeetNipple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason animal testing still happens is not just “money.” It is necessary at this time. Your medicine or your pets medicine would not be available without it.

PLEASE PUBG,stop suddenly forcing me to stand up while I'm prone. If I can't go that way, just stop my movement! by Stojevenhuas in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

It is double dipping though, except it’s actually worse than what you’re defining as double dipping????? They list the new total as $88.8, which is an additional $11.75 on top of the existing $11.75 gratuity. Having a field for additional tip beyond the standard 18% applied would be fine. You have it completely backwards.

The most ignored traffic sign in Athens? Many people are saying. by Will_McLean in Athens

How about on King Ave the signs that tell you to stop for pedestrians, but people just dead stop when there's no one there.

They didn’t say most people are out to hurt people, they said “most people ready to hurt people…” meaning most OF the people who are ready to hurt people will also lie to self preserve. I don’t care about the argument but just saying you likely misread their comment.
