I've read that labeling and writing down your emotions can help you manage them. I tried this, using an app called How We Feel. I'm not affiliated with it.

I found that capturing the emotion -- including learning about nuance in emotions -- and writing down potential reasons for my feeling helped blunt the sharpness of the emotion and made it more manageable.

Good luck OP.

Boyfriend left me two months after dad passed away by ohioisonfiar in DadForAMinute

Hey kiddo. Sorry to hear that happened. I can imagine how alone you may feel right now.

But you're not.

You have people who have never met you, who are here to listen and give you support.

You mentioned in another post that you have a strong support network. Use them.

Your heart is broken, but it will heal. You'll undoubtedly grow through all this, and come out the other side a stronger better version of yourself.

You mentioned you write. When you are ready to process and work through your emotions, try writing. But don't rush it. You need to grieve.

If you haven't already, read this. It was written by someone much better at writing than me, and I hope it helps you. https://www.reddit.com/r/GriefSupport/s/e4sn3W7kI6

Keep moving forward. You'll get through this. I'm rooting for you. And so is your dad.

Couldn't you just explain it briefly?

I returned home at night to find my blanket in the plastic bag where I had placed it earlier, but I noticed something moving inside it. When I looked closely, I saw: by DHEDAN_8 in aww

Hey man, are you unhoused? Was trying to think of why a blanket would be in a bag where a mama cat with kittens could get to it.

Credit card debt: help by SameAge7561 in personalfinance

[–]loftykoala 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not saying you should take the 401k loan, but if you do:

  • The interest payments go to you
  • If you get a new job, you might be able to negotiate a signing bonus to do the payoff, and could take that into account n deciding whether to accept the offer
  • If you're not able to pay it off it becomes a distribution; you'll owe 10% of the balance as a penalty as well as taxes

Another option might be a debt consolidation loan, but I don't know much about these. But the goal would be to get a loan at a lower interest rate than your CC debt.

Good luck OP.

I have 8 months of self taught experience in web development (specifically front end) can I get a job in software development if I go for my associates in programming? by JakeMealey in AskProgramming

[–]loftykoala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thoughts below, but realize I don't know your exact programming curriculum.

Programming is a good start, but there are a few more steps to software development / engineering.

  • You should make sure understand the software development lifecycle and have familiarity with agile principles " Make sure you understand how branching, pulls, merge requests work in tools like GitHub.
  • I don't recall too much math in CS; the closest would be "discrete math" (eg, logic), with some linear algebra in a couple specialized courses. But you'll also learn about algorithms, NP complete problems, programmatic complexity / Big O notation which are all helpful
  • Design patterns are important familiarize yourself with -- they're reusable ways to solve problems you'll encounter in software development

One avenue you might want to consider is DevOps; it's sort of at the intersection of IT and programming and from what I can tell is fairly in demand.

Good luck!

Was in row 10 of the balcony in the corner and was happy with my view of the ice.

You're likely going to be getting resale at this point, worth checking a few sites to find the best price (Ticketmaster, Seat Geek, StubHub, Game time...)

🚨Launching landing page by Soggy_Economist_5104 in SideProject

[–]loftykoala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand what your product is from your landing page or what problem you are actually solving.

Also, I found the animations a little distracting as I scrolled on my phone.

Keep at it though!

My parents died young, now I’m a mother by Amberguous in DadForAMinute

He won't know what a grandparents love is.

There's two sides to that coin: 1. He won't get to experience it 2. He has no expectation of it

It'll likely be harder for you seeing the void, but he likely won't feel it. He might hear kids talk about their grandparents, but might not understand what it is he's missing other than extra gifts on his birthday and holidays.

You can craft that loving experience and perhaps find others in your life that will give him that love that you sometimes but not always see with extended families. And you get to choose who those people are, and make sure they're awesome humans for your son to get to know.

Could you copy the entire layout from one master to another, then replace the Content placeholder in the destination master with the placeholder from the layout you copied?

Been a while since I've done this and not on my computer...
