My husband (36m) and I (34f) have been together since 2008. Married in 2014. We have two kids, a 5 year old and a 2.5 year old. He didn't grow up in a house of love. His parents are still together today but absolutely hate eachother and make no attempt to hide it. My parents started off rough as they were young (my mom was 19 when I was born) but then managed to go through some counseling about 7 years into it and managed to have a strong, healthy relationship. I think because of this we both have very different expectations on what a marriage should look like.
I am a patient person. But I am exhausted. My husband has been in this state of "the grass is greener on the other side" for years. He lost a chance at what he thought was his dream job around 2013 and he's been trying to find his calling since. This has led to him job jumping. It was okay though as I was employed at a municipality making decent money. I was there for almost 9 years, then covid hit and we both were wanting a change of pace from our Seattle area lives. We decided to move to Texas due to the high wages and low cost of living that would allow me to stay home with our children. Almost immediately he hated the job and started looking elsewhere. He's always wanted to live in Florida so when he had an opportunity to move 4 months later, we did. We bought a house. Financially, we are struggling on a single income here due to the higher cost of living. I am having a hard time finding remote employment. Daycare is expensive so in person work is almost pointless. We were discussing going back to Washington where we would resume our old lives of both of us working. I can't help but feel resentment as the job I gave up to come here was something I could've stayed at for 30 years. But now it is gone with little to no chance of returning to. I can tell my husband is stressed out at his current job and he also feels like a failure for not being able to make it work living here. However, he is now taking out that frustration on myself and our kids. He's actually taken out his frustration with himself on us fairly regularly, even back in Washington, but I thought moving would make things better. He normally just yells and punches holes in the wall or throws things on the floor to break them.
If you know toddlers, they are mess makers. My husband hates clutter and messes. I can't physically follow their every move picking up after them like he wants so I get all sorts of snide comments like " the house is a mess; you do nothing but watch TikTok while I'm at work all day." Funny enough, I only watch Tiktok while I am laying next to our children as they fall asleep. He wants nothing to do with spending time with our kids because he "needs a break". Since our son was born 2.5 years ago, the only break I had was going to work, one overnight wedding I was a bridesmaid in (he had his parents help with the kids), and a single evening where his brother watched our kids for 5 hours while we went out for dinner and drinks. Hell, he went on an overnight fishing trip with his dad when our son was 3 days old, leaving me to take care of myself, the newborn, and our toddler alone. My husband says I don't need breaks because I don't work a real job and it's my job to take care of our kids. My husband goes to work, comes home, sits on the couch and watches TV or goes fishing a couple blocks away from our house, then sits in his room on his computer drinking beer. This happens most nights. He can't even bother to sit down and eat dinner with me and the kids 90% of the time. The other day, he blew up at me. I know he was also stressed from his job as he asked for a schedule adjustment and was denied. His tablet fell out of the window sill he kept it on during a storm that happened a couple days prior. There was a thunder roar that knocked several items off our shelves so I am guessing thats when the tablet fell. The screen broke. He was so mad that he grabbed any toy that was around him of our kids and threw it. He stomped on our daughter's barbie car. Broke our son's hot wheels ramp that he adored. Smashed a robotic dinosaur our neighbor gave to our son. Threw their table but luckily it didn't break since it's plastic. Tried throwing a paw patrol tower at the couch but luckily it didn't break either. It still was enough to upset our kids (and me) though. Said he was done with us and couldn't wait to be on his own without us. The tablet was 9 years old and could be replaced for $30 on ebay. I have an iPad he could use so it wasn't like it was the last device in our household. Hell, the kids even have tablets (with broken glass on the screens but acceptable enough for their use and anyone else's) that he could've taken from them for his 30 minute workout. He's threatened divorce before but never follows through. He claims it's just to "put me in my place and scare me into behaving". A few months ago, he told me he is planning to leave me once he finds the right job to stay at, estimating no more than 3 years left. He's said he doesn't love me and on a separate occasion I brought it up and asked if he would stay if I said the same to him and he replied "no". He goes through phases where he seems to hate me and our kids and then he tolerates us and then back to hating us. I keep thinking things will get better like it did for my parents, but I am getting weak. I don't want my kids to grow up thinking this is normal. At what point do I give up? Or do I keep at it waiting for improvement? Will it ever improve? My kids are getting to the point where they are disrespectful at times to me and I can't help but wonder if it is in part because they don't see their father respecting me. If he doesn't why should they? Has anyone here been in a similiar situation? Did it get better or did you leave? I'm afraid to leave. I don't want to be alone. But I also crave love and affection. We haven't slept in the same bed since our son was born because he can't handle his sleep being interupted when he has to be up early for work. I understand that, but he continues to sleep in the guestroom even on weekends. I've told him multiple times that I need love and affection to be happy and motivated but he doesn't want to provide it. On one occasion, he told me he knows that I need those things but he doesn't want to give them to me because I don't deserve it. I try to clean and tidy up our house once our kids go to sleep, but it's never clean enough according to him. I'm at the point where I am giving up. Why put a ton of effort into something he's just going to say I didn't do well enough? I want to feel important. I want to feel loved. I just want physical touch. I want my kids to see their parents love eachother and never settle in their own relationships for what I have with my husband. But I'm scared to leave. I don't want to have to share my kids with him, especially considering he seems them more as a burden than anything, but I know he is entitled to time with them if we separate. Plus now I don't have a job which really makes things difficult. I would've been fine on my own had we not left Washington and I kept my job. I just don't know what to do.
tl;dr My husband takes his personal frustration out on me. I'm deprived of affection. I keep thinking it will get better but it hasn't. When do you give up trying?

Grand Theft Auto V is notable for all kinds of reasons. It's the most expensive video game ever made, and also one of the very most successful, by any measure. It sold so well that Rockstar kept the online service for the 7th-generation (PS3 and Xbox 360) releases of the game going from release in 2013 until late last year. It had moved over 150 million copies as of last August, in fact.
That number has surely gone up since then, and it's probably going to continue going up for years to come thanks to the updated re-release that's now available on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. We've already written about what's included in the re-release, but the short version is that it adds higher-quality assets, ray-traced lighting, and 60 FPS options to the exclusively-30-FPS console releases.
ssd sony ps5 2
Unfortunately, another notable aspect of GTA V is its interminable loading times, especially on the consoles. Well, arguably the biggest change this console generation has been the move to solid-state storage instead of the spinning rust used previously. Both families of 9th-generation game consoles support disk I/O tens of thousands of times faster than the 8th-generation consoles.
Naturally the new release of GTA V reaps the benefits of that in its load times. Over at IGN, they put the new release through its paces and found that load times are drastically improved across the board. Selecting "replay mission" can find load times as much as 75% faster on the new system, while loading autosaves was slashed from over two minutes to around 20 seconds on Sony's latest machine.
ign gtav ps5 loading
As showcased in IGN's video, the difference upon starting a new game is even more mind-blowing. On the PlayStation 4, it took 2 minutes and 18 seconds to load from the menu to the new-game heist sequence. Performing the same operation on the PlayStation 5 took just eleven seconds. The player was able to get halfway through the mission on the PS5 by the time the older system finished loading.
We feel it's likely that this enormous improvement isn't merely the work of the fancy SSD, but also that of the PS5's potent Zen 2 CPU cores as well as some software optimizations. Players of GTA Online may recall that an enterprising developer found a simple optimization (arguably, a bugfix) that slashed loading times by 75%. Rockstar even paid out a bug bounty to the developer.
We still haven't heard back from Rockstar on when or if these improvements will be finding their way to the PC version of the game, nor whether there will be a charge for the update if they do. It seems likely that Rockstar is gauging the playerbase's reaction to such a thing. You can pick up the refreshed release on PS5 for $10 right now, or on Xbox Series XS for $20, but both prices will rise to $40 after three months, so get while the getting's good if you're not willing to wait a few years for GTA 6.

To all users,
April 1st is business is usual on the forum! I have discussed with the other moderators (Davie, Goblin, Cooper) and we have come to the agreement that the forum will be safer and better off if we keep ourselves from joking around and just pretty well much making the forum look like a laughing stock. No fake animals, no made up animals, pranks on me pranks on my family members, threats, calls for violence or henta or joke voles..no pretend voles and pretty well much vole.comics and buffoon voles.....just no general Tom foolery or ruckus... It is not OK troll or troll/troll in general or off it say off the wall and what not or in 364 other days in the year. It's not OK to troll on this one....if it gets out of hand I may have to set the entire forum on private and wouldn't everyone just hate that!
Amyway hope everyone is having a good weekend. Go ahead and let me know in the comments what your up to. Everyone has been doing great lately on the forum. I was just talking to Hishfish and Shoelace earlier and it looks like Shoelace is going to start mass producing AI vole photos. Looks like we're never going to run out of pics afterall. And cant wait to see everyone at the Town Hall this Tuesday...630pm on twotch.....will be a good one!
Anyway let's get a Let's Go Voles how about that...1 banana 2 banana 3 banana Voles!;

I am currently pregnant after a miscarriage at 5w3d in December 2022 but my symptoms are much different this time around and I’m hoping for some clarity or other experiences while I wait the grueling hours until my ultrasound Monday morning.
I am currently 5w3d pregnant (exactly the same time as my first miscarriage) but this time around:

1. I have brown discharge only when wiping which has gotten lighter in the 3 days I’ve noticed it.
   
2. My HCG levels at 4w6d was 78 and then 48 hours it was 91.
   
3. I have abdominal pain near my left ovaries but only when I’m laying flat on my back and pushing on that one centralized area.
   
4. My at home pregnancy tests are still very clearly positive. The second line has gotten the slightest bit lighter but you really have to stare at it to even notice.
   
5. I went to the ER at 5w1d based on the nurses advise and they were able to detect a gestational sac in my uterus but no yolk sac and trace free fluid adjacent to my right ovary.
   

Curious if anyone had any of the same symptoms?

Hello! I switched from an oral bcp to a skyla iud Oct 2022, so it’s been 5 months. For the past 2-3 months I have had A LOT of spotting/light bleeding (I can’t actually tell if it’s spotting or just a light period). It will be for 7-10 days and then go away for maybe 5-10 days and then start back up again and im getting super frustrated. Periods before were usually only 3-4 days in length for me while on oral birth control and before i was on any birth control. I was hoping it would gradually get better but have yet to see that. Everything I have read says it could be normal for the first 3-6 months and I am approaching that 6 month mark so getting nervous that this is the new normal. Has this happened with anyone else and did it eventually go away or become less frequent?

Hi - I purchased the Nichia 3000K version from KZ.
I notice that the light cycles through only 2 turbo modes, whereas the manual says it should have 3. Specifically I believe brightest mode isn't available to use.
How am I accessing turbo:

1. Be in advanced mode
2. triple click to trigger turbo mode
3. Long press to cycle turbo modes - notice only two levels

How many modes does your C2 pro have?

By this I mean bands or artists that consistently release albums that are about a 7/10. With 2-4 truly great songs, and the rest fill out the space nicely with maybe only a miss or two. Bands that you can listen to knowing that the quality is going to be what you expect with a few surprises. Spoon and The New Pornographers come to mind for me.

I met a hacker ingame today. Is reporting enough to get them banned or do i need to send proof with it? I have been playing a bit of pvp with my friend today and my shadowplay was working just fine but all of a sudden when Im alone and meet up with this hacker, it just decided to not work. I could turn it on and interract with it but when i wanted to turn shadowplay on it would turn itself off 2 seconds after. I have the name of the player but Im not sure if thats enough. I also looked up their account and they have 12 days of playtime but nothing handed in as it usually says when you look someone up. Im not sure if that means anything though.
Basically this person wasnt even trying to fight me. They never tried to board my ship and never fired a cannonball. All they did was shoot themselves out of the cannon and double gun me mid Air. If i tried to shoot them with cannonballs they would do this and kill me and if i boarded they would also kill me. I ended up trying to board many times without succes where i would either get killed trying to get on or after getting up. I ended up getting on and killing them while dodging their shots by hiding behind things. I tried sailing them out of the map but they would make it back many times and after killing them a few times by luck, they would almost be out of the map. I killed them one last time, they spawned back in, shot me off and dropped the anchor but the boat just barely drifted out of bounds and their ship exploded. A little too long but satisfying win for me.
