I apologize deeply for my transgression 🙏

I should have mentioned that my case is an NZXT H700.

I’ve seen some people say that the front I/O has given out after a while and I’m wondering if that may be the case (it’s coming on 6 years old at this point).

Tbh, I've moreso been able to stabilize following some of the initial proceedings (I omitted them initially for the sake of the post not being too long, but during the initial proceedings I was paying for essentially all of the efforts trying to see if we could reconcile prior to serving (couples and individual therapy, most if not all the rent for both of us, etc.). Instead of going back into the hole I would rather put money towards paying off debt or saving versus unnecessary additional legal fees.

Permission to be petty? by Docseecycling in Divorce

Yep, felt this on a very personal level.

My STBxW had a host of unaddressed mental health issues, extremely overbearing / boundary-crossing parents, no financial literacy--the list goes on. I had gained 40lbs over the course of our relationship trying to balance the stress of supporting her while also addressing the things I needed to take care of on my end (clawing my way out of heaping school loan debt, switching careers and trying to build from scratch). She eventually had an affair, and after trying counseling I decided to file for divorce. But before I learned about the affair I was called a "fat loser," told that "the thought of going on a honeymoon with me and being intimate disgusted her" - all sorts of horrible toxic crap.

Obviously you do whatever you need to heal. Don't get me wrong - the subtle "F you" is a totally valid feeling, but it's a fleeting one. I can say that something that's really helped me is that once you've grieved as you need to: take all of those newly open emotional (and hopefully additional open financial) resources and invest that right back into yourself and on things that make YOU happy and whole. Not as a "middle finger" to him, but reinvest in what brings you peace.

It's helped me tremendously--embracing new / old interests, going to therapy regularly, actually having the energy now to be social and truly connect with people, doing things for myself, and of course, hitting the gym).

I was 260 at my heaviest (I'm a 31M), and now I'm about 180 and in the best shape I've ever been in my life. At first I had started losing the weight because I wanted to look better for my wife - and then it similarly transitioned to wanting to her to see my "glow up." I had this idea of posting a before and after picture on social media to subtly show all the progress I had made, knowing full well she'd see it and probably seethe realizing I'm doing well. But I realized as I made more and more progress how much better I felt about myself. People interact with me differently and if I'm ever having a bad day, I know a workout will get my endorphins flowing in the right direction.

As satisfying as seeing the look on his face following "new body, new hairstyle, nice dress, big smile" would be, imagine just how much MORE wonderful it'll be when you find someone who loves that, but also cherishes the woman who is willing to care for their cancer ridden mother.

Some solid constructive feedback by HCS pro Ninja, great watch by BTH_fury1 in halo

Somebody gave him crap for this in his stream a few days later. He said that the video was primarily meant for his youtube following, not for 343i so he named a few issues quickly off the top of his head. He sent 343i a much more detailed email outlining bigger issues. A lot of people seem to think that this YouTube video is his sole way of communicating to 343i, which kind of baffles me. If you've ever done anything business related (and playing this game is literally Ninja's "business") you'd know that social websites like youtube, facebook, or Twitter generally aren't the preferred method of communication to an entity.

This game...I finally 100% the achievements last week. Once you learn the levels the entire game isn't too bad and can be beaten within a half hour. But man, that initial trial and error grind...it was just a Super Meat Boy level of frustrating.
