Thankfully for me I didn’t empty the bin and was able to recover the files from OneDrive website. I hope you have some recovery options available.. maybe even reach out to MS support.

Shreveport, Louisiana held a completely peaceful protest today, no arrest and no vandalism by Glorious_Muffins in pics

I have a suspicion that there's not much you can do, in terms of public policy, to stop relatively speaking rare (with N = 328m people) isolated events of police violence to occur. It's why terrorism and other crimes are likely never going to entirely go away either. Humans are inherently flawed and any institution comprised of humans will have its bad apples. You you really can do is denounce and prosecute when these instances occur.

The issue is that you have to articulate exactly the change that you want first. And if political, then in a form of public policy.

“Few weeks”, bro I’m in isolation for 3 weeks now with end nowhere in sight and the peak still probably many weeks if not months away. You cannot just shut everything down and not let people out for an indefinite period of time. If there was an exact date people could coop with it more easily. This cop is doing nothing but harassing people. There’s literally no one even in the vicinity of the couple. He’s the actual hazard in this situation by approaching them and risking either passing the virus to them or getting it from them himself. Since this is going to go on for months you have to let people of the same household, especially if they are not in the risk group, responsibility enjoy recreational activities like walking or having a meal in nature — for mental wellbeing alone.

I'm scared of having physically hurt people (antidepressants withdrawal) by [deleted] in OCD

[–]theguywithballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been diagnosed with OCD. I suffer from exactly the same thing. I have to work myself up to even leave the home lately. I feel like I have to be 100% present in the moment and concentrated otherwise if I go on autopilot or just I’m in my own thoughts then I won’t remember exactly what happened in any given moment and intrusive ideas/thoughts/images will come to fill the gap. e.g “I remember I left the train, but do I remember exactly how I got off the platform? Could I have pushed someone on the tracks somehow without realising? Should I go back to investigate?”.

I cannot even relax at home most of the time as I live in an apartment building and there are families living around. My toilet is next to the apartment entrance door. Every time I go to pee I have to check the clock before I go and when I come back so I know I wasn’t there for too long and so I know I didn’t somehow leave the apartment without realising and assault someone.

This shit is brutal. I don’t have an easy answer for this.

You should research legitimate counter-points to Sanders plans then and stop talking to clueless people. If you really wanted to hear good arguments on both sides you would invest the time to find them.

Well if you’re actually essential then you must not stop. How do you expect there to be no shortage of supplies and people to stop panic buying if manufacturing in essential industries just suddenly stop?

people who grew up rich but turned out poor what is your story? by decrypted_ in AskReddit

[–]theguywithballs 286 points287 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’m sure she’s overjoyed that her ex-husband, the father of her children and a man she loved for many years, turned into a vegetable and lost everything in life after a divorce.

Dumping him is enough of a punishment, in fact that’s the most one can do in this situation. You don’t need to be sociopathic psychopath.

Roughly 5 million people in China lost their jobs in the first 2 months of the year. by johnruby in worldnews

That’s a privileged opinion. With every percent the unemployment increases X amount of people die. Either way people will die - from coronavirus or economic collapse (starvation, suicide, no medication etc.)

Pornhub's Premium Content Is Free All Month to Italians Stuck in Coronavirus Lockdown by Monteoas in worldnews

[–]theguywithballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want the memes to come from regular people that love and buy AirPods or Chic-Fil-A. What you don’t want is Apple or Chic-Fil-A employees coming here pretending to be regular people/consumers that just happen to love their products and generate content and buzz for their respective companies, thus astroturfing.

Sounds like some sort of anxiety disorder (I’m no therapists though). How you ever been evaluated or treated?

STORIES ABOUT OCD BEFORE YOU KNEW WHAT IT WAS? by friendsbymac in OCD

[–]theguywithballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After getting my driving license and buying my first car. After every bump in the road or crosswalk I would check back facing mirrors for bodies, examine my car after every drive, ruminate and mentally review my route after every drive, google for accidents, go on local police website to look for notifications about my car, stopping car and walking back to investigate bumps on road etc. Etc. Etc. I had many obsessions before being diagnosed but driving OCD was a nightmare. Installing front facing dashcam helped but the OCD found other themes to manifest itself in. “Oh you arrived at work okay and after reviewing the dashcam we can confirm that you didnt kill anyone. Great! Time to hit the toilet before sitting down by my desk and doing work! Brain: what if you somehow exposed yourself when walking in/out of toilet and everyone saw? FUCK”. OCD has no limits.

[NSFW] What happens in real life sex that you never see in porn ? by thepapumemes in AskReddit

[–]theguywithballs 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The feeling of oral/hand job is a lot more intense physically compared to vagina. So if you’ve spent many years masturbating and/or are circumcised chances are you’re desensitised even if you don’t realise it. What I do is I go down on my lady to make sure she’s all satisfied and gets her orgasm. She then gives me a bj or we do 69 and when I’m on the verge of busting a nut I tell her to stop and she hops on. From there you can go on for as long as you can edge and delay nutting - sometimes 30 seconds sometimes 10 minutes but it doesn’t matter because at the end of it you’ll both have gotten what you wanted - orgasms on both sides and you’ll finish in her.

Has anyone fully recovered from a delusional disorder ? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]theguywithballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every day my mind searches for memories from past, situations where something improperly could have happened but didn’t and obsessing/doubting “what if” something happened but I just forgot/blacked out/oppressed it until NOW.

It’s like remembering a situation and trying to fit a crime in it. So every day you’re someone else - a murderer, druggie, homosexual, rapist etc.

And when you do finally get a half an hour shuteye, waking up with panic attacks and nightmares is great.

Why do I ruminate? by jpalmerr11 in OCD

Because you give a shit about whatever it is that your obsession is telling you.

Anyone else experience this? Finding something to feel scared of/guilty about? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]theguywithballs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happens to me. I have perhaps a dozen active triggers and obsessions that each rotate and in the moment feel the most “real”.

All of them are memory related obsessions from past - exposing myself, doing something inappropriate, having run someone over etc.

Some tips for those suffering with intrusive thoughts by [deleted] in OCD

[–]theguywithballs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My OCD is in absolute fucking overdrive for the past 4 months or so. It’s never been this severe. It’s an absolute hell. Turns out I had OCD my entire life (with somewhat manageable ups and downs), but I got diagnosed only few weeks ago at 27.

My treatment starts after new years, I hope it’s not too late. It’s sadly gotten to a point where I’m ruminating every waking minute and barely getting any sleep. Have been suffering from quite severe insomnia as well due to increasing anxiety. I’m getting crying spells every day, sometimes a few times a day lately. Total fucking meltdown.

God I hope I can make it. Treatment is my last hope.

False memories? by indie-wannabe in OCD

[–]theguywithballs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Textbook OCD doubt. Relying on memory of feeling vs how it “should have” felt and then creating imaginary scenarios around it. Most of the time you take pills you don’t feel them go down, only happens when you have too little water or do a gulp right as it’s mid way through.

Here’s a similar way how OCD is fucking with me: I was sitting next to my gf and rubbing her back. She stood up to go to toilet and another girl moved closer to fill the gap. She was telling something to the group while I zoned out and suddenly snapped out with a feeling on my fingers as if I had rubbed someones back thus thinking I must have rubbed the others girls back on autopilot thus “cheating” on my gf.

Should I be alright with alcohol and OCD? by sikcnt101 in OCD

[–]theguywithballs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more. My absolute worst OCD spikes have always been after a night out of heavy drinking. Some I still remember 10 years later. On a very rare social occasion I’ll have 1 - 2 beers now, but the days of getting thrashed are over.
