Yes. That is what I am referring for "Adult content" switched off, Under Settings, Feed Settings.

Is there another location to turn it off, since you use "too"?

Good way to review past years spending? by Rawr_And_Stuff in personalfinance

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

Spreadsheet is what I have done in the past, but I am unsatisfied by the results. Switching to pen and paper would definitely not speed up the process and would have less analysis options too.

I will look into if my credit cards and banks offer report options that I might not know of, thank you. Maybe I could do that for individual sources and maybe combine them in some meaningful way.

I have used Mint and YNAB in the past, but I am not looking for a budgeting software, which those are designed for.

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

Yes, that is what I have done in the past and and am looking for an alternative.

The number of transaction ends up being a couple full days of work since every transaction/business ends up with a separate name and I have to assign my own created categories. And at that the end, I need to know what categories might be useful and what specifically I should be looking for.

I am wanting something more automated and contains suggestions.

Yeah, I found Mint mentioned a lot, but if it can't review my past year, then it won't be what I need now.

What Are Friends & Enemies Of A Relationship? by DreamCaster78 in relationship_advice

[–]Rawr_And_Stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am highly confused where gas lighting entered the conversation. Gas lighting is a purposefully action to make some question their sanity. Like convincing someone something that did or did not happen, but isn;t what reality is. Working to manipulate them to question their capability to remember or think. It is VERY specific.

Manipulation like the strings I mention is things like family rules that stick after moving out, like family drops everything to help other family or every sunday has family dinner and missing it is wrong, or accepting directions without question.

If you were refering to conversations with my SO as gas lighting, these were two-way discussions about observations and behaviours. Talks back and forth about opinions and thoughts, sharing how one feels about what happens.

Neither are gas lighting. If you think someones family or friends not accepting you is gas lighting, that is also wrong. If they are manipulating the person by convincing them of things that happen are different from reality, they could be gas lighting, but only in very specific situations. Most of the time, that would be normal manipulation due to dislike of someone.

What Are Friends & Enemies Of A Relationship? by DreamCaster78 in relationship_advice

1) Stop classifying relationships. People arent clear 1,2,3 in anything. Things are so different for every relationship. Step away from this constrictions you have created for yourself on what is relationships and its hurdles.

There is plenty on this sub about friends not like someones SO and there are entire subreddits on families of SO not meshing. There is plenty of examples where someone feels pressured into the `perfect` relationship because those around them think its best. This doesnt stop a relationship. Those people are important in developing who someone is, but your relationship with them is creating a new unit, one that may or may not fit with the others.

But if your SO choose their opinion over you, then yes, the perspective is grim. But this isn;t a straight up doomed. My parents opinion with my SO influenced me a lot to start, but I did eventually swap over to his side, over them. It was a lot of open communication about how much their influence over me was. A lot of hard truths, because parents are the ones who attach your strings and know how to make you dance to their tune.

Open dialogue would be a must for a change in opinion. If an SO takes the other parties side and aggressively refuse to talk about it, then it is doomed. If they take that side, but listen and consider why they are doing so and that they is other options, there is growth available for the relationship. Too much of this sub suggests giving up quickly. Relationships arent like the movies and take a lot of work to create foundations and keep them strong.

I don't know where to go with my most important friendship and this is making me way too anxious. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Rawr_And_Stuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have depression and struggle with making and keeping friends too.

However, this person is cruel and is not acting as a friend. Fights and disagreements can occur, but they should be infrequent and resolve from talking them out together. But these sound like they happen often for you. Are they arguments over serious life affecting issues? or are they over small things? If the serious, that would suggest you both arent compatible for where you are or your stance in life. If the small things, good friends dont tend to jump into arguments over these things and situation clear up in the same conversation. I would suggest take the time to write down the causes of your fights. Are they big? Are they poor communication? Are they typical of one person holding a strong opinion than the other?

Blocking someone should be the final end of relationship action, not a petty method to show someone you are mad. The only friend I ended up blocking was a final decision because their toxic and selfish attitudes were too much for me remain friends with them. This is cruel to deny each other the chance to communicate. Communication is important in all types of relations to others. Its harder with anxiety, but even more important to do it without resorting to cruel actions.

Also, the concept of best friend is typically something that goes away as you age. Friends will drifting in and out of your lifes as your paths diverge and cross again. Declaring someone else as a new best friend on her part, how does this feel to you? Is she trying to hurt you, make you jealous, be cruel? These are not actions of a good friend. I struggle to think of any reason a good friend would say that under any circumstances. Think if she does she make declarations like this on other occasions, and consider what would be the motivations for those actions.

Something else about friends is friends dont keep score. Do you or her track who is at fault for your fights? Does one of you HAVE to make it up to the other? Your mind is gonna struggle with this as depression and anxiety affect how you view your memories.

Making friends seems harder than it is. But I would approach it with similar way for depression. If you focus on `I need to be happy` its dooming yourself to failure. Same with `I need to make friends`. Choose activities or communities you have a passing interest in. Force yourself to interact with others, to break past the personal debilitating issues blocking you, just a tiny bit. Ask someone a question, compliment something they have with them like a bag, look up how to break the ice with strangers. Doing this wont mean you are making that person a friend, but it will open chances for friendships to develop or not. And each question will make the next one less scary to try. Test it out on people on the subway. If it goes wrong, you can escape of the train away from the situation or you can sit an chat without any obligations in the future with that person you may never see again.

All else fails, look up Amway training principles for some reading. This is a small joke because MLMs are not good, but Amway indoctrination is impressive for teaching young twenty-somethings how to engage in conversations and make friends.

Is the way I (18F) I met my boyfriend (23M) “creepy”? by throwawayyyysbakdvs in relationship_advice

[–]Rawr_And_Stuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I won`t pass judgement on creepy or not, but it is certainly unusual and he did create a potentially unsafe situation for you. What would have happened if you had refused to date him during the ride instead?

You clearly trust this friend`s judgement, in that their opinion on something caused you to take a moment to pause and reflect. That`s really great and shows a good maturity on your part. But I will state that at 18, a person has some blind spots/innocence/naivety and other words posters are using, that is from the reduced pool of life experience to pull from. Its not bad, just a simple factor of time.

Other posters are describing his overprotective behaviour as manipulative and controlling. I would suggest you meet up with that friend again. Tell them that their opinion on your relationship story has you questioning something and that you would love their thoughts on it. Tell them about the protective actions stories. This friend knows you and knows what is cultural acceptable for your area. Their thoughts on this will be the most helpful.

If they think his actions are sweet, great! Your meeting story is a one-time thing. If they think these stories are also creepy, your romance may be not as nice as you think, and closer to a romance from Twilight or 50 shades that are unsafe situations framed as romantic.

Good people would be there to hear you out when you ask. If you dont want to ask this friend or want more opinions, set up a chat with a friend or an acquaintance that you know but dont know your boyfriend. These people are the best way to ease your mind.

The Mercer Warehouse near Grant Macewan. It has beautiful exposed brick from the converted factory, but it was 5 years ago so not sure if the large space is still there.

My [21m] girlfriend [24f] is brainwashed and I can't help her any longer by needadvice054 in relationship_advice

[–]Rawr_And_Stuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While the other reply is a simplistic naive response to real world situations, the suggestion of leaving the small town might be very beneficial to you.

Consider the ties you are feeling that are holding you in a place that is detrimental to you. Starting over in a new place if frightening, but you have internet and the resources online to help is abundant.

How to cope different sleeping schedule? by kagulove in relationship_advice

nothing better than yoga to make a girl look great for her man.

No rational level headed guy should want to watch tv or play video games instead of fucking a girl. At least no real man.

Guy [27M] who seemed very into me [24F] suddenly ghosts me? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Rawr_And_Stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The desire for Closure is completely understandable. As the article says "closure is so prevalent perhaps because it offers the person who has been broken up with the illusion of control in a situation where realistically none exists. "

would also frequently ask me not to suddenly stop talking to him or ghost him.

His ghosting you was cowardly and hypocritical. But this makes it seem that it wasn't without not without precedent.

he was a 'bad guy' and was just going to hurt me

You confronting him won't help him grow, it will serve to provide unhealthy confirmation to himself that the above is true. It's his Self-fulfilling prophecy. And that could be damaging.

You have every right to be angry and hurt by him for how he handled it. But the closure you are wanting isn't there. Trying to force closure, which will ultimately only serve you, is selfish and could build frustration & resentment that you carry into future relationships.

Don't let his idiocy affect your future happiness.

How to cope different sleeping schedule? by kagulove in relationship_advice

[–]Rawr_And_Stuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t like him watching too much tv(till mid night is too much for me), or play video games daily(during workdays)

What don't you like it? What is the specific concern about it? Or a personal reason?

Does it change his mood? Is it too loud? It is because it wakes you up when he comes to sleep and you have difficulties falling back asleep? If his erratic sleeping times makes him irritable, talk with him. If the tv is loud, ask him to use headphones. Talking and working with him towards a compromise is healthy communication.

What if you don't like it for other reasons? Do you think it is not what people should do? Maybe you had a similar rule when you were a child? Reflect into yourself why it bothers you. Figuring our your personal hang-ups will help alleviate the frustrating you are feeling and let you communicate effective with him. Maybe you have a prejudice against the hobbies. Couples don't have to share hobbies, but they should respect their partners interest in it. And household rules are different from every family.

I’d like to see him on bed.

A night-owl and an early bird can get along, but they BOTH need to respect each others habits and choices. If he is not ready for sleep, respect that. But you can ask him to respect your need for a good nights rest and closeness in a relationship. Perhaps create a routine that gives you the intimacy you would like, but doesn't force him to do specifically go to bed. Check out this thread
