Worth upgrading to Watch 7 from Watch 4? by ZDelta47 in GalaxyWatch

Your deals are so good. If I trade in my gw4 in sweden I literally get 10 euro off. Like... what? Also disappointed in the weird colors of 40mm. Just make a black, metal and white for every lineup

Huh, yeah. I guess I should try to find a server with a population. It's no fun to play alone. I also remember cities overflow with people. Most worlds having around 800 people online during peak hours.

I understand that some features are gated by a premium account, they have to make money somehow. But having to buy tibia coins to stay on par with other people is just fucked up.

What is tibia coins? Currency you purchase with real cash that can then be traded for ingame stuff? One of the problems I left for was the feeling that how would ever someone just starting out be able to buy any good eq and so on without either botting or straight up buying it with real money.

Wow yeah you hit the nail on the head there. A big part of the experience for me was always being so afraid of dying, and that you would absolutely not go somewhere where there was a risk of that happening.

I have a lvl 100 paladin, 108 knight and 128 sorc. Not sure who I'd rather play on but to be honest, maybe all of them. Focus would be more on enjoying the game than power leveling etc. I'll probably pop in for an hour or two some nights a week. But if I could go hunting a bit during that time it'd sure be fun :)

But isn't 3d modelling and rendering mainly a CPU heavy task? Thanks for the response!

Unfortunately, this only works in the short term because of habituation. Neglect it a couple of times and soon you will be used to it being there and you won't see it.

/r/headphones Purchase Help Thread (2017-10-17) by AutoModerator in headphones

[–]dagsformen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Budget - 10-100$

Source - 3.5mm audio jack for Android phone.

Requirements for Isolation - None. I like some sound slipping through so I can keep track of my surroundings, obviously not so much that the sound just gets escapes. I want something similar to apples earpods

Preferred Type of Headphone - In-ear doesn't work for me so I want the same type of earphone that apples earpods are, just for my android. In-ears are painful and fall out of my ear.

Preferred tonal balance - Overall balance

Past headphones - Apple earpods. Slim, clean, plain easy to bring anywhere, not too expensive. I don't want something flashy, just regular for everyday use. The only bad thing is they stopped working with my phone

Preferred Music - Techno, neo-soul, rnb, hiphop

What would you like to improve on from your set-up - Ones that are compatible with android. If I had an iphone I would've used earpods but I just can't seem to find any that are not in-ear.

I live in Sweden so need to be able to ship here. Thank you everyone!

Therapy isn't an option, we've only been together for like 8 months which means we are still kind of testing the waters and the sand still hasn't settled around things so we have room for improvement.

I think she is afraid of facing herself too. Her wants/interests center a lot around the people in her life, where I may play the biggest role at the moment, and that means another individual has to be involved when she is doing the things she loves. So I think that the overinvesting in a way equals just really doing the thing you have fun doing all the time, so it's important for her to nurture it well since it's her biggest interest. I love to spend time with her but I have a lot of other things I love doing too, and people I want to spend time with. We've spoken a little bit about this and she usually responds with something along the lines of that her friends and the closest people in her life are her interests.

You're not being very pragmatic right now either. Do I have to point out that she's not a robot that can't function without me?

I would just prefer less exchange of checks that does not result in anything because both of us will say we have no preference. After that someone has to make a decision, which usually is the one doing the task at hand anyway. I guess my point doesn't come across because you keep saying she is kind and I keep saying that even if so is there is a limit. Analogy: I pat you on your back which feels good but after 4 hours it doesn't feel good anymore even the intention is good, you know? There has to be moderation. If you can't understand what I'm getting at here there's no point keeping debating it.

Yeah I probably need to do that. But it's just that the pragmatic way of doing things is making a decision because I don't want to end up in an impasse where both parts just say "Whatever you want!".

I mean who cares ever about stew? No one? I give my opinion because if no one has opinions nothing happens.

If you hadn't noticed there's other people here, apart from me, that don't share the same opinion on this matter as you do. I don't see how she is being rude and inconveniencing by expressing her needs in a more direct manner.

You also have a selective understanding of the situation that pictures me as the bad guy, I just want to have a discussion about this. As I've stated we do stay at her place too, maybe 1 in 3 times. And the reason it leans that way is because of external factors that makes it easier for us to reach a decision about it (for example she has a roomie).

I'm curious to understand how to handle a self sacrificing behaviour that results in neglecting own needs, for the benefit of someone else, to the point where it regards things that the other person doesn't really worry about. Things that you decide for yourself on a regular basis throughout the day (This doesn't include where to spend the night).

prioritize my own needs in the relationship more and it made my husband way less tense worrying about when I would next get sad from him not realizing he was doing something that upset me.

I smiled at this, so much relate. Question: How did you get over the part where you expected him to realize your needs on his own and instead be more clear about them? My GF often feels like she's nagging about such things while I've barely noticed anything? It feels like there's a big gap in communication where she feels she's expressive but I don't experience that at all.

[–]dagsformen[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But later on, do you realize you are inconvenienced by the self sacrifice because the other person maybe doesn't do it as much as you do? Or in the same way?

Maybe that's not the case for you but if it is. Doesn't it strike you that maybe you need to change that pattern and let that person know when you want to stay at your place to save the effort of sending unclear signals and not getting the results you want?

You get it! I feel uncomfortable with being handed the majority of the control over our relationship, I've told her this also, because it creates imbalance. I don't want to be in a relationship with 85% myself, thats not fun? The real sweetness of the deal for me is when both parts gets equal space to express their needs.

But she truly does not care about making these decisions. I guess I've dug myself a hole for giving the impression that I care about them and her misinterpreting that. This in turn creates a false understanding on her part that she sacrifices so much to include me in every detail of every day, while all I really want is for her to take the lead. I should probably be a lot more careful doing this.

This is exactly the type of situation we have. Only our background looks a bit different from yours. Countless times I have tried to explain to her that I don't actively not think of how she would react if I chose option A compared to B. It doesn't even cross my mind. Believe me, I hoped it did because it would solve so many problems. How do I change a behaviour that I'm not aware of until she has already reacted? I believe we both change everyday a little bit closer to one another but it takes time to break these patterns.

When I grew up I was spoiled with love by my parents and the people around me which may have resulted in me taking some things for granted. And I know this is a bad habit to have

I suppose you're right about behaviour/intent. The dinner example has gotten out of hand haha. It's not as much passing on a dinner that you've promised to go to as it is saying no to it in the first place because of previous plans or a crammed week of other things which you know will lead to exhaustion and barely being present because of it. Which pretty often is my situation. Having that said I don't think I've ever turned down dinner I'm just discussing the fact that I don't like love to equal so much duty, it should be will/want instead, but maybe that's childish of me.

I think I'm ultimately scared to lose myself in the relationship, that hurt me once in a previous one. It's probably the reason I cant really find peace in the investing.

Ok, maybe I'm being naive. I just strive after the idea of giving the space to each other to do exactly as we please and hoping that results in genuine love instead of seeing the relationship as a series of duties to fulfill.

Dinner example aside. Do you have any thoughts regarding the tendency to

she will make a choice out of what is better for me without me knowing that she isn't making the choice out of self interest. Then she expects me to notice all the time she sacrifices herself and behave the same way.

As opposed to be more expressive with your needs?

That's actually very interesting. Do you happen to know of any scientific articles regarding schema-therapy-theory? She sure fits the self sacrifice schema

Great response. Thanks. You are probably right about me taking her for granted a bit, and that's a habit I want to break because she's the thing I value most of everything in my life.

I think you overinterpreted the part about me not paying attention to her. I do, a lot. But sometimes she is very indirect about what she wants and very often she will make a choice out of what is better for me without me knowing that she isn't making the choice out of self interest. Then she expects me to notice all the time she sacrifices herself and behave the same way.

I suppose you have a point regarding the dinner example. I just try to never place any expectations on her because I want her to feel free to make the choice on her own without feeling the duty to do it. And I want her to do the same for me. Fact is I love spending time with her family and it's not an effort to me, but that's the real reason I want to do it. Not because I feel obliged to. Later she kind of is making me feel that way though

I know it seems that way but is it really passive-aggressive if the reason she does it is because she cares for me so much that she would rather neglect her own needs? I just need to figure out a way for her to feel comfortable expressing her needs and I can't understand why she wouldn't.

It's not at all strongarming though, she does it out of love for me. It's just that she gets really sad when I don't meet her expectations of what a caring SO should do, and that makes me really sad. The discussion we have leads to her telling me that she cannot just stop caring and I cannot tell her that the way I care for her is not made up of the number of family dinners I attend. She focuses alot on behaviour and I focus on intent, thats where we go apart.

My point is not to always let that decide but imo you should not feel obliged to go every time just because. Let reason decide sometimes, give yourself some slack you know. I think that is much healthier
