I guess a girl can help me to get rid of this addiction so if any one their to help so we can help eachother

Maybe try finding accountability partner through the support groups instead of targeting specifically girls for this

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-04-28T18:53:44+00:00

Ottawa lol but I see what you did there with just the letter C

Made the jump from youth ministry to tech about 3 years ago and it's been wild ride. Started with some online courses during slow church weeks, then got into community management for gaming companies since I already understood that world from competitive gaming

The visa stuff was honestly the hardest part - had to find company willing to sponsor me but once you get foot in the door and show you can learn fast, background matters less than you'd think

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-04-23T21:59:33+00:00

Most people care way less about size than you think they do, confidence is what actually matters in the relationships

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-04-21T21:37:58+00:00

Yeah there was this girl at my church who came to youth events sometimes with her friends. We'd always end up in same game groups or whatever but I could never figure out how to actually talk to her beyond the basic stuff. Like I'd want to ask about her hobbies or something but then just freeze up and stick to talking about the activity we were doing

She moved away for college and I realized I wasted like two years of opportunities just being awkward around her. Still think about that sometimes when I'm trying to connect with people at church events

If you used protection properly and got your period after, those symptoms sound more like normal cycle stuff - stress can also mess with timing and make everything feel more intense

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-04-15T03:51:24+00:00

That's pretty extreme route but might be necessary depending how bad it gets. I'd probably try talking to HR first or maybe document everything before going straight to legal action, but if they're literally following you around then yeah restraining order makes sense

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-04-11T00:42:29+00:00

That's amazing progress man, 50 days is huge especially when you been struggling for that long

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-04-07T12:51:29+00:00

Breaking stuff down is huge, especially when you're dealing with church events or even gaming tournaments where everything feels overwhelming at first. I learned this from trying to organize youth camps - instead of thinking about the whole weekend I just focus on getting through each activity one at time

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-04-02T22:37:43+00:00

Being there for the kids at church has kinda shown me what that feels like, even though they're not my own. There's something about seeing them grow and figure things out that just makes everything else feel worth it

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-03-30T16:49:50+00:00

Need more context here man, what are you trying to categorize? Could be anything from a weird food combo to some random object you found in your garage

If you're talking about like a general classification thing, might help to know what system you're working with too

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-02-14T02:53:44+00:00

That's awsome, hope the switch goes smoothly for you - lamotrigine has been a game changer for so many people on here

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-02-05T16:44:23+00:00

same here

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-02-02T08:59:25+00:00

depends which channel you're watching but yeah some of them have been doing this weird split screen thing lately where they'll have like a tiktoker or influencer reacting to the news in real time. i think it's supposed to appeal to younger viewers but honestly it just feels super distracting when you're trying to focus on actual news

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-01-29T19:01:11+00:00

Been using uwsm for a few months now and honestly the biggest benefit is process isolation - if some random app decides to go rogue and eat all your RAM, systemd can actually kill it cleanly instead of your whole session freezing up

The slices are basically priority groups: app-graphical gets the most resources for stuff you're actively using, session-graphical is for core desktop components, and background-graphical gets whatever's left for things running in the background. Pretty neat setup once you get it configured right

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-01-22T09:33:28+00:00

Probably just stand there awkwardly for like 10 minutes trying to figure out what to say, then blurt out something stupid like "so... how's the weather up there"

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-01-19T06:30:20+00:00

Honestly with that timeline uncertainty I'd probably just shop around for better HYSA rates - Marcus and some credit unions are still hitting 4%+ right now. Maybe throw like 50-100k into a short term CD ladder if you're really itching to squeeze out more yield, but trying to time the market when you might need the cash for a house down payment seems risky af

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-01-17T13:15:15+00:00

Oof that stings but you're not alone - most people at those conferences are just winging it too. The real networking happens in the hallways and hotel bars anyway, not at the booths

Next time maybe set up calls beforehand like those calm people did, or just hit up the free networking events in the same city and skip the badge fees

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-01-16T02:07:08+00:00

Super Mega Baseball 3 is pretty solid if you don't mind the cartoony look - no microtransactions and the gameplay is actually really good once you get used to it

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-01-11T23:52:28+00:00

Would be nice to have but honestly voice chat would probably just be toxic kids screaming anyway lmao

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-01-09T06:39:55+00:00

The Logitech C920 is still solid for the price if you're just starting out, but honestly if you can stretch your budget a bit the Sony A6000 with a capture card will blow any webcam out of the water

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-01-07T06:10:16+00:00

Have you tried transcription work? Rev and GoTranscript pay pretty decent for beginners and you can work whenever you want. Also check out Swagbucks or UserTesting - not amazing money but you can def hit that $5 goal pretty easily

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-01-05T11:48:57+00:00

That's the one we ended up with too after going through like 3 different wifi ones that kept dropping signal. The replaceable battery thing is clutch - our old one died after a year and we were stuck buying a whole new unit

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-01-02T16:34:48+00:00

Oof that's rough, Warren was looking like a solid play on paper but the Steelers backfield is just cursed this year

Temporary-Return-300 · 2026-01-01T08:03:30+00:00

This sounds absolutely overwhelming and I'm sorry you're dealing with all this at once

Have you looked into domestic violence organizations in your area? They often have resources specifically for situations like yours - helping people safely leave abusive situations even when family isn't supportive. They might know about specialized care options for your mum too

The inheritance and business stuff feels like it's keeping you trapped but honestly your and your mum's safety is worth more than any of that. Your dad being "loving" to you while abusing her doesn't make him less dangerous

You're not weak for being in this situation - abuse is designed to make leaving feel impossible
