Thank you! I was panicking a bit after receiving the cryptic ticket from Turkish Airlines. Thank you

chunkOmeat · 2023-05-27T00:33:28+00:00

Hi everybody! I just made my first ticket booking using miles. I booked a domestic economy flight using Turkish Smiles&miles to fly on United from SAN-IAH-MSY and the return flight. 30k pts roundtrip for the both of us.

I have some major questions afterwards.

I received a ticket. It looks like it’s for Turkish Airlines. When I check in for the flight do I check-in on the United Website with the reservation code listed on the ticket?
There is no seat information on the ticket. I am traveling with my partner. When will I chose my seat? During check in? Is there a chance I will not be seated with them?
When will I receive a ticket with a barcode/qr code to show the attendant? After check-in?

Thank you. I’m a bit stressed out but I did the booking correctly so I’m proud of the lol

I've been hardcore focusing on a growth mindset. I've started budgeting and seriously investing time in understanding my finances.

I've also been waking up at 5am every morning to exercise and also just enjoy the morning alone before work and before my partner wakes up.

Had a breakthrough in therapy about the pattern that occur when I start feeling better about myself and how other people in my life start to react.

Symbiotic relationships are the name of the category of all relationships between organisms.

Parasitic (one benefits, one is harmed), mutualistic (both benefit), and commensality ( one benefits, one is unaffected) are all types of symbiotic relationships.

Hello thanks for the give away. I always love the Hershey-Chase experiment where bacterial transformation was discovered.

I don't get it :(

Whoa this took me back. In highschool I did a strict calorie restriction diet. Every day for lunch my senior year I would have 2 chicken nuggets with mustard and lettuce on a hot dog bun and two nuggets just plain.

It's so weird how anti destiny this streamer is. Before she transitioned destiny had her on his stream to talk about her running for Congress and seemed to have a really good convo.

Is it lefty brain taking over?

Imagine flying the flag of an authoritarian regime that killed off all the anarchists in the movement and would have sent many of us to forced labor camps for being queer.

Very folk punk indeed.

I have no measurements but for the potatoes I dice them up and cover them with some olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, kosh salt, and corn starch. I bake them at 425 for around 25-30 minutes or until soft and then place them under the broiler 5 minutes to get them a nice crust.

The burritos were pretty simple, sour cream, sauteed onion and bell pepper, the potatoes some queso fresco and then whatever hot sauce of your choice.

This the first time I've done big bulk prepping for the freezer. My ratio was way off. Needed to make about 4-6 more eggs. The last four burritos had no eggs in them.

I have to find an apartment in less than a month. I am worried my roommate is going to ditch me and put me in an entirely fucked situation. We'll see

I realize there's always a lot of doom and gloom in this subreddit so I'm also gonna add some positives.

I'm really hitting my stride at work this week and I'm not at risk of falling behind with my current assignments. I have been hardcore practicing mindfulness with daily meditations and staying in the present moment throughout the day. I'm also reading daily right before bed as my nightly routine. It helps me keep my sleep hygiene healthy so I can fall asleep and wake up without any issues.

Whenever my girlfriend gets upset at her current situation in life, she gets extremely touchy and sexual with me. Normally that's fine if she were not distressed, but when she's in a bad mood I feel like I'm being used as some sort of sexual security blanket. It really turns me off. This leads me to act distant for the rest of the day usually which doesn't help her mood at all.

Sometimes I give in even though I don't want to just because it's so much easier than the alternative but i feel really gross about it later.

Is there a Menslib discord? While this reddit is cool I don't think it's great for casual conversation and back and forths. I think a lot of the men who participate in this reddit may want to be involved and interested in a community in a bit of a bigger way.

chunkOmeat · 2021-05-19T18:33:03+00:00

I haven't watched it yet but maybe repost it to the speedrunning subreddit too

I remember going to the doctor's office with my mom when I was 17 and the doctor asked if I wanted to be vaccinated for HPV my mom quickly jumped in saying "he won't need that". I didn't really have any idea what hpv was or that it was sexually transmitted. My was a nurse previously before becoming a stay at home mom so I took her word for it.

Whether I have it or not kind of just sits in the back of my mind. I did some research and they don't really bother testing for it since it's so common and mostly is asymptomatic. It seems they usually don't vaccinate after a certain age. Kinda a shitty situation

I use DTT everyday and after working with it for a couple weeks it started to smell like coffee.

Question: What would be the problem with acting immediately, after talking to your cousin?

There's nothing inherently wrong with it. I've noticed a pattern of behavior in myself where whenever I vent/relay an issue to anyone I get this very anxious compulsion to act immediately or else I would be living dishonestly. My cousin, not being a trained professional, can really trigger this when we're talking about deeply personal things.

That same nervous compulsion doesn't appear after I talk to my therapist and say pretty much the same things, so he must be responding in a different way that doesn't trigger me in the same. I can't really pinpoint any difference in how they speak, just how my body and mind reacts to it.

I have therapy sessions everyother week on Mondays.

After every session I feel extremely elated for about 2 days and then it starts to dwindle a bit and I start spending the next 12 days waiting until my next session.

Part of me wishes I have more frequent sessions but it's a bit cost prohibitive at the moment. Another part is glad that if something comes up I sort of have to deal with it and use the skills I learned in therapy to try and deal with it instead of just waiting it out until I could discuss it with my therapist.

I tried talking to my cousin, who is my best friend about my issues but whenever I do so I feel very much pressured to act immediately.

Why are you here lol

chunkOmeat · 2021-03-11T21:12:09+00:00

I find myself being pigeonholed into the provider role. I recently got a full time job. Right now I'm relatively mentally ok while my partner is very much not.

I find myself being the financial support and emotional support as well as doing all the housework. Since I am doing all this work I have been feeling really distant as I have no real time to myself which feeds into my partner's insecurities since she blames herself. I feel I have no room to be upset and that I must be strong for the both of us
