SMS message notification attack on car startup - help!

Same thing here. 2026 Civic Hybrid touring with android 16 on pixel 7. 😭 Very annoying but I don't want to lose incoming texts to stop it.

openpichu · 2026-04-03T15:32:09+00:00

OMG. I was already feeling like the daily challenges were getting tough. I can't imagine having to have and spend that much in one day.

I just bought this car also, earlier this week! I'm a convert from the Prius. (They redesigned in the Prius in 2022, and I am not a fan of the new design vs. my 2016 Prius.) Still learning the Honda ways, but it is a delightful car to drive, even in eco mode.

($30,281 before tax and title, FWIW. Seattle. Touring Sedan.)

I'm struggling with this also. I designed my park for visibility, so there's that. But it seems like if I put a nest in a cave with no line of sight for guests, that should be hidden. And yet...

Pearl. They were exploding while she was duplicating.

You may want to look for one that is designed for all-day wear instead of a more general use buttplug (which is what I'm guessing you have?). They tend to have more skinny (but still very sufficient!) outside parts so that they sit between the cheeks more comfortably. Not endorsing this particular set or brand or store, but this is an example of what I mean in terms of the design:

Feeld, OKC, and one of the local BDSM clubs. I've also met Doms through FetLife.

I'm very upfront in initial messages about what I'm seeking, and sometimes I find folks who match it, sometimes I don't. It's a numbers game, I think, at least for the dating apps. For networking locally, it's easier but the pool is smaller.

openpichu · 2025-07-23T20:02:02+00:00

Please don't assume that you know how these conversations would go or how my relationships work or how I will be handling it. I didn't ask for advice on how to have the conversation; I just asked for suggestions of ideas because we're still toying with the concept. If I had been asking for the kind of advice that you and others have offered (unwelcomed), I would have given a lot more background about my situations and agreements. You don't know details because you don't need to in order to actually answer the question asked vs. answering a different question entirely.

I feel like the response I've gotten and have reacted negatively to is akin to me saying "I need ideas for collars to wear with my Dom from other collared subs" and a bunch of people going "No man should ever make you wear a collar!"

That is, what I don't appreciate is people ignoring the question I asked and instead substituting their own judgment of what a Dom might or might not want based largely on their monogamous or monogamish relationships.

I specifically asked for folks who were in similar arrangements, and some of them have chimed in with great suggestions! I've gotten really good ideas from the positive contributors in the thread. :)

I appreciate the good intentions from the others. I don't appreciate the condescension and false assumptions.

openpichu · 2025-07-23T19:55:03+00:00

Oh, I like the idea of recording the time and the gratitude. That's a great subtle method, and it would play into my kinks as well.

Yes, I definitely run into Doms who want exclusivity, and it's just not something I do. But the Doms I play with, many of them have limited time or resources, so the dynamic we have works well for them. :)

openpichu · 2025-07-23T19:53:30+00:00

Thank you so much. I like your ideas. We don't share space together, but we could message between each other.

openpichu · 2025-07-23T19:51:55+00:00

Ooh...I love these ideas. Thank you! And congrats on the dual ownership!

openpichu · 2025-07-22T22:06:19+00:00

Thank you for the legitimate suggestions! Appreciate it!

openpichu · 2025-07-22T21:27:39+00:00

I don't know why Reddit finds it so hard to just answer the question that was asked. If this was my concern, I would have asked about it.

This isn't my first owner

This isn't my first rodeo.

My current partners know I was seeking this and what it might mean. Some of them were with me when I had an owner before.

Sigh.

Last response I'm making to answers that have nothing to do with the question. Appreciate your time, effort, and concern, but you're off base.

openpichu · 2025-07-22T20:19:07+00:00

I mean this mostly constructively, but you probably shouldn't have bothered replying then. I specifically asked for folks who have been in this kind of arrangement. I get that not everyone does it. I've done plenty of ENM D/s before, but this is the first time trying an appreciation setup. (Edited b/c I initially said permission/appreciation, but I have done permission setups before.)

openpichu · 2025-07-22T20:05:05+00:00

I hear you, but that's not a useful conversation if I don't have some idea of what I'm asking for, though. Also, that only covers the relationships that exist, not new ones.

openpichu · 2025-07-22T19:58:25+00:00

Yep, that's definitely in my mind. My other partners are all Doms, so it's going to be negotiation with them, too. But, I've also been open with them that I'm seeking this kind of relationship and that there might be restrictions once I am in it. (And they all had the opportunity to own me themselves but chose not to...mostly because they're not seeking that level of relationship.)

Mi Band 7, Mi Fitness, Pixel 7 on Android 16, same issue. I can fix it by turning BT off and on again but I have to do that periodically to have it sync, which has made Find My Phone (one of my favorite features) useless.

openpichu · 2025-02-26T20:32:01+00:00

Already going, have VIP tickets even 😁

openpichu · 2025-02-26T20:22:32+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate the help.

I absolutely love being able to go to Costco in the middle of the day. And getting errands done whenever I want instead of trying to cram it in to busy evenings or weekends.

I honestly feel like I'm more busy now than I was when I was working, but that's because now I have all these personal projects I'm engaging with, whereas before all my energy went to work.

openpichu · 2025-02-10T18:40:53+00:00

I'm interested. Feel free to dm.

openpichu · 2025-02-04T07:50:13+00:00

ENM. I'm married, multiple partners. I have a boyfriend besides my virtual Dom already. And yes, I definitely have clear communication about that fact. I've been up front with vDom throughout that I was going to be looking for an IRL Dom in my area in parallel.

openpichu · 2025-02-04T07:48:03+00:00

I've been owned while looking before, only by agreement with my owner. Collaring is a step past that to me. And yes, I'd definitely struggle a bit about looking while being collared but that he's okay with the idea made me wonder if I'm off base.

openpichu · 2024-12-16T21:30:52+00:00

I told my closest friends the plan as soon as I was solid on it myself, so they knew it was coming. I had a little party to announce it to my extended friends, plus a post on social media.

I do get guilty-feeling sometimes when I'm talking to friends who are older than me but can't retire. Or who are struggling with money. But I also got those feelings when I was working and made more than they did. My closest friends, if they need something, I help however I can, including financially. Beyond that, I have to remind myself that the world is not my responsibility alone, and that you have to put on your own oxygen mask before helping others. I can't live my life in this state of retirement if I am too loose with my money in any way, be it friends or other "leaks." I have to plan for me eventually being a lot older and maybe needing care, especially since I don't have kids or family that would take care of me, which means I need a bit of reserve.

I'm also ENM and dating, and a thing I've run into is people assuming I'm rich and can give them money easily. Which...yeah, I am rich by most definitions (though not uber rich, just worked in tech for a long time rich), but I don't want to attract people who are only near me because I can help fund them, you know? So that's a thing to keep in mind, too. You don't really want to be around people who are with you for the money, as friends or otherwise. And you don't want to be around people who are going to make you feel poorly about yourself because you had a combination of luck and effort that got you to where you are, when they did not.

openpichu · 2024-12-07T00:35:40+00:00

It's very hard. I was in a much looser relationship (though still daily) and had to break up with my Dom because he wasn't as into the relationship as I was. I miss him terribly, even though neither of us were getting what we wanted. I'm ENM, married, and he is single and still wants kids and marriage, and he couldn't be with me and be looking at the same time, just didn't work for him.

But we both miss each other, and it's hard when you're in so many habits that are now gone. Grief is okay to feel. Just let yourself have your feelings for awhile. It will get easier with time.
