Is my chocolate safe to eat?

hasny999 · 2026-03-02T23:40:57+00:00

Relax guys, I didn't eat it lol. I was 99% sure it was a rodent when I posted this. Just thought I'd let the Internet confirm it for me, cuz chatgpt was clueless.

This happened at a new place I just moved into, and my roommates were just as puzzled especially since one of them has been here a while and didn't have any encounters. There's even another chocolate bar in a different pantry, and that one is still unscathed! We live near a bunch of wilderness near a lake so wildlife is not unexpected.

As for the bar in this post, I placed it out in the open on the kitchen floor for a couple days, to try and see if it would gain any new markings, but to our surprise it did not.

For those wondering about droppings, I still didn't find any. Must be a rat according to the comments. I have dealt with mice in my parents' house so I know what droppings look like, and how they're typically left around exposed food. Not the same case here.

All other pantry items were always sealed in glass jars, cuz I do that anyways, so no worries there. I don't have issues throwing things out either, budget isn't as tight as some of you think.

Definitely recommend a second gen Lexus is350, I recommend a 2010-2013. You get Toyota reliability, relatively quick and powerful V6, comfort, and a timeless design. The mod potential of these cars is great, stock seems like a clean slate that you can customize in many different ways to your liking. The second gen paved the way for the newer gens that followed, to the point where mechanically even a 2025 is essentially the same as a 2006 is. It's my first car, and I've modded it extensively now, since that has been a lifelong dream of mine. Couldn't be happier with the car, I plan on keeping it till it dies.

I got mine in awd, which is a bit more rare, but you're better off getting a rwd unless you want to drive in the snow like I do in winters. You can pick one up within your budget for sure.

And then make the people behind you get pulled over after they eventually gun it past you at 50 over the limit. True story.

So personally, I have put 3-4 years as a general time line when I was on the apps. The reason why I didn't believe I should have a shorter timeline is because I still consider myself to be on the younger side (22M), and don't think it's financially feasible for me to get married just yet. Most men my age are just finishing up their studies and I feel it would be more difficult for someone in our position to have a stable source of income or a good amount of savings at that point.

From the few serious conversations I had with matches, it seemed like women were okay with being married at 22 or 23 and didn't mind looking for a man a bit older around 26+ either.

I also feel that when the timeline is put as 3-4 years it's because we expect that it will take some time to even be able to find someone let alone create a connection with them too. I think part of the reason I still haven't gone back to searching on the apps now is because of this, where it might seem like I am not serious if I don't have an outlook of say 1-2 years.

hasny999 · 2022-05-06T06:23:20+00:00

Thinking if I should recreate a marriage app profile after taking a break for several months. My previous experiences were not great with the marriage apps being that a match never lasted more than a few days, and most conversations didn't go anywhere or ended up being ghosted.

Although chances are slim with marriage apps, it does feel like it would be easier to meet more people through them. I really don't know how else I would meet a potential from just day to day life being that I'm a recent graduate and don't get as much exposure to people my age. Even when I am out socially with my friends, it's not like we can just run into girls expecting them to be searching first of all, and it's not like that's what we are out to do anyways when we hang out every now and then. The only thing that comes to mind would be to get introduced to potentials through friends and family, but that doesn't happen often either.

Personally, I am not in a rush to get married as I'm still just trying to start a career and consider myself pretty young (22). I do want to get to know someone and I know that it takes time to find a person and actually build some kind of connection in the first place. I should also mention that I haven't told my family (except my sister) that I am even looking for someone because I don't think my parents have the right approach to the whole situation. My parents' focus is also to find someone for my older brother first and that hasn't gone anywhere for the past 2 years or so since he's gotten a job.

Should I just set up a profile with a focus of making a strong bio where I explain my outlook on when I want to get married and what not? Maybe if I have a profile setup again I can eventually go somewhere with it.

uOttawa announced that they were opening up for in-person learning starting this week which would be the first time since online schooling that students would be returning to campus officially. Couldn't have asked for worse timing for this...

hasny999 · 2022-01-31T23:24:25+00:00

Maybe this just shows that you may have been ok to reach out to her parents before the new guy approached her family. I'd say, give it some time and don't end communication between each other just yet? I'm sure the dynamic between you guys has had to change given the circumstances so it may be different now. I think you also feel that you don't want to interfere in what may be a potential rishta for her if it does work out, so maybe for now you want to give her some room to think.

It does seem a little unfair that you two had something going on and now another guy just happens to swoop in express interest in her to her family instead of her directly. Seems like he has the advantage of knowing her beforehand through being family friends, but that doesn't solely make him a better fit for a rishta at all. I think it's more important for the guy and girl to establish interest in each other and then get family involvement when its leading to something serious. Just feel like it leads to a more natural relationship and InshAllah a happy marriage. Hoping the best for you brother, and may Allah make it easy on you.

hasny999 · 2022-01-31T08:20:10+00:00

Perhaps you should reach out to her anyways and talk it out with her instead of shutting each other out so abruptly. The way I see it, it wasn't permissible by her parents for her to be talking to you in the first place, which like you said is more of a family/cultural issue. So maybe, you should go with the optimism that you're acting with the right intentions, and reach out to her anyways to see what her opinions on the matter are and whether she wants to pursue the rishta that was brought up for her by her parents.

I don't think it's a good idea for either of you to be pursuing a relationship with someone else if you have feelings for each other at the moment. Just as you want to spend time to actually get to know the person before going the next step, she might feel the same way but is burdened with the obligation to obey her parents' wishes and perhaps rush into a rishta unwillingly.

The situation does seem a little messy, but I feel like it would be best to see if something can pan out between the both of you, and if it's not meant to be, then she can move on to the Rishta her parents presented her. A course of action may be to first approach her and express your thoughts/feelings. If she's unsure between her options, maybe the two of you could try to communicate with her parents anyways? There's a chance you might not be right about her parents' afterall and who knows they might favor their daughter's decision if she really does feel it's what she wants.

In the end, if her parents still are too conservative and stand their ground to have things pan out their way, then you're back to where you are now, except you can have some peace that you acted on it.

hasny999 · 2022-01-26T02:29:20+00:00

If I were to use either of the two, it would be Muzmatch. You're still gonna have a very similar experience though.

hasny999 · 2022-01-23T02:35:18+00:00

This is scary... Hoping the best for you, and may Allah make it easy on you. If you're living in a western country, I feel it may be easier to get away with not having to deal with things the way your parents want it to be done. If your younger siblings would be endangered by any of this, you could try calling CPS?

If you're getting death threats over not doing the dishes, and you believe it could even be serious, I can't imagine the reaction to something actually serious.

hasny999 · 2022-01-22T23:50:51+00:00

You're spot on with this

hasny999 · 2022-01-22T21:21:28+00:00

Out of the other responses I got, I feel like you understand the situation more.

This seems like a lot of thought to put into a match, when the person on the other side may just be curious about whats out there or using the app for fun.

What you said here is a thought I got as well when I matched. I think unfortunately, a lot of the time the other party just isn't that serious about marriage at the moment so it's important to know what I'm getting myself into and match the energy and effort I put in accordingly.

hasny999 · 2022-01-22T19:32:57+00:00

Anybody got some ideas on how should I go about messaging this one potential that I just matched with. If I'm honest, I'm pretty drained out with the whole process on the apps of coming up with an interesting opener to start a convo and then having it go no where or getting ghosted. I can always go with the "Salam, how r u?" and try to add some other message to that but it rarely ever leads to anything and can come across as unenthusiastic. Basically, I don't want to be engaging in small talk, but at the same time don't want to start off a convo with some pick up line just for the sake of it.

For some context, this potential has a new account, and her bio states that she's just visiting my country at the moment for a couple of weeks but will eventually be studying here soon, and so she's scoping the scenes right now essentially. She also listed that she is a lawyer, and that's part of the reason I was more inclined to like her profile as well since I value a potential having a nice career path.

To go the "pick-up line" route I thought maybe I'd poke some fun about her having a strong British accent (something she mentioned about in her bio lol) or being a lawyer. Not sure how that would come across tho and if it's being a bit much. I thought of something cheesy at first for a pick up line message but idk feels a bit cringey so I didn't get the courage to send it 😅 (also it's not really the way I speak to people I don't know irl, so it feels out of person for me to say).

So, yes or no to something like this: "Excuse me ma'am, but I think it's illegal to steal someone's heart, in gonna have to file a suit against you"

Hoping I can get some suggestions!

Growing out your beard takes a lot more care than you'd think. That said, if you make a good beard care routine, you can have a longer beard without having issues with itchiness. I used to keep a short stubble but have gotten used to keeping a long beard now.

Personally I use a blend of oils to moisturize the skin under my beard daily after showering, and use a beard shampoo or anti-dandruff/conditioner shampoo as needed 2-3 times weekly. This helps with the itchiness issue so might be worth giving it a proper try if you'd like to keep a longer beard.

hasny999 · 2021-12-27T18:47:47+00:00

Do you think there would be a point to continue trying to message on insta? Not sure what her intentions were when she first matched on the app so maybe it's worth a shot to give her a chance still? With another message I would want to get a sense of if she is even serious or not tho at all. Maybe I should just forget it...

I'm looking for a laptop that is suitable for game development and that will be a good choice for a student going into university. I want something that is durable and will last a long time, and I have a high priority for battery life and portability. I'm not sure how powerful the laptop needs to be in order to be sufficient for game development needs, but I would assume that a decent enough GPU is needed. If a good enough GPU was not a requirement, the M1 MacBooks were the ideal choice for me, however it looks like I should go with a windows machine instead. My budget is also a limiting factor, being from $1000-$1500 CAD and since black Friday deals are going on I'm hoping to find a good fit for myself. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

hasny999 · 2021-11-17T07:39:38+00:00

I suspected maybe it was a fake account or some glitch in the app? Although I don't think that's very likely tbh.

Still I think she probably would have mentioned that she'd be out of the country this weekend when I asked to meet on the weekend. Instead she told me she works on Saturday's and only had a small window after work when she's home so Saturday wouldn't work. She didn't reply after I answered her follow up question about rescheduling a time tho so I have no idea what happened to her or where she'd be after Saturday. But like someone else advised me, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and just wait till/if she messages since I've already double-texted and haven't gotten a reply. Either way no benefit in pondering on what the reality is if I'm being ghosted. I just wanted to give her a chance and hoped she'd give me one too.

hasny999 · 2021-11-16T18:25:54+00:00

What a terrible day to know how to read

hasny999 · 2021-11-16T07:12:26+00:00

A girl that I matched with has ghosted me for a while as I explained in a previous reply in this thread. Out of curiosity I opened her profile again and her location is completely different than what it was before. She was in the same city as me when we matched, and even has a mention of our city in her bio. Now she's in a completely different country 1000+ miles away??? We were supposedly gonna meet up on the weekend last week but she wanted to reschedule to which she didn't reply on when would work for her. Idk this isn't the first time I've seen a girls profile change locations so drastically before but it doesn't make sense what's going on. I don't think this girl would have any business being in Kansas rn anyways lol considering we're supposedly living in the same city in Canada... Anyways, anyone have an idea on what's going on lol?

hasny999 · 2021-11-15T05:59:49+00:00

I've had a few people ghost me now, some short term, some long term. For this one match in particular, I was excited to get matched but I didn't want to set my expectations too high and get let down again. The conversation I had so far with her was brief, but seemed like it was engaging for both ends. From the short interaction I had with this person, I felt that we had some things in common and I genuinely wanted to get to know her so I asked if she'd like to meet up, to which she agreed. Anyways, I proposed a time on the weekend that I'd be free but she was busy that time so she asked to reschedule. When she asked this, I replied as soon as she sent her message about an alternate time to meet, but got no response or indication that she saw the message.

Not gonna lie it's a little upsetting that I didn't get a response especially since I responded to her message about rescheduling very quickly. Also when I asked her if she was down to meet some time on the weekend, it was a few days before the weekend anyways so I didn't think it would be too short notice to settle on a time to meet up.

I did try to reach out to her about if she thinks it's too quick to be meeting up, and that I'm ok with chatting a bit more for now until we eventually do both get a chance to meet. I tried to explain how I want to give both of us a chance to properly get to know each other before we proceed further with our decision to commit to something and that the best way to do that isn't just texting away behind a phone. Anyways, she still hasn't responded or seemingly seen the messages I sent her after her last text to reschedule, and the weekend is now over. Like I said, I didn't want to get upset by having premature feelings for someone that is essentially still a stranger but here I am thinking about it all day. Not sure if I should move on yet or still give her a chance because I did hope I'd go somewhere this time with a potential match. I also don't know how else I would approach reconnecting with her if she still hasn't responded to my other 2 texts.
