Hello, I [19M] have some questions about another the behavior guy [19M]. Me and [Jack] have known each of other basically since we’ve been in college, but growing decently closer within the last month. Our paths have crossed more from a mutual friend has brought him into my social sphere.
I’m out as gay, as in anybody is welcome to know, though people will sometimes assume I’m straight. We’ve never spoken about it, but I know both of us know about each other being gay from friends.
Anyways a couple of weeks ago I went to the club with Jack and some friends. We were pretty flirty and touchy, maybe it was alcohol. But on the ride home, he rested his head on me and I rested mine on top of his. When he let go I held him for a bit.
Jack then invited me to some gathering that weekend. I’m good at dancing so I invited him to go dancing with me and he said yes, but then he came down with strep throat and did not come.
However, he’s a horrible texter and never initiates conversation over text. In fact, a couple months ago, I had given him my phone number and he never reached out. His responses are short and close the conversation. I think he’s had many opportunities to invite me to movies or other things that he did not. He’s never once said anything sus or risky with me, he just uses a flirty tone and I can’t tell whether that’s just his personality at this point.
I want to muster up the guts to just tell him I like him. I’m just afraid he will react poorly and it is awkward for the whole social circle…
I’ve never been in a relationship before so I really don’t know what I’m doing, haha.
What should I do?

A Fanfic of u/SpacePaladin15’s work “The nature of Predators” Thank you for the story!

Memory transcription subject: Kilousai, Kolshian Head Genetic Biologist
Date [standardized human time]: REDACTED
​
Something that has always amused me was how primitives talk and act like people. Yet are so easily manipulated into being whatever you wished them to be. Take Female Venlil Feed Subject #387V-42. She believes herself to be one of the foremost Genetic Biologists in our field. Yet all she has done is make a poor, pathetic version of what my own species and the Farsul have mastered centuries ago. Sure her nanites could cure cancers in a matter of minutes, but it's just such a waste of resources to make these for primitives.
However there are a scant few primitives that are worthy of truly being uplifted to the same status as a Kolshian or Farsul. Take Venlil Test Subject #12v-01. By all means he should have been caught by the Exterminators and burned to death with a flamethrower. Thankfully we caught this gem of a being with early screening and gently had his life altered to ensure that didn’t happen. With a few small interventions, such as the removal of his parents and ensuring that he was always in the right place at the right time, we were able to take advantage of his aggressive behaviors, and alter his beliefs to align with our own. He truly was something special. I do hope we don’t have to purge this one. The Venlil experiments have shown great promise.
“Oh I am so glad to be able to work with you directly Kilousai! I hope you don’t mind but I would like to get a photo with you to show to my friends back home! Well, show them once we’ve cured Humanity!” Go on you stupid piece of meat just keep talking. It’s one of the two things you will ever be good for.
“Of course! We are going to accomplish so many good things for the Federation today! In this very facility we have made great strides into ensuring that our future will be prosperous and safe!” I do so love how Subject #12v-01 reacts so differently than the feed. His tail muscles gently tighten at the base, his ear slowly pivots to listen to my words. Yet he doesn’t even feel for the knife hidden just in his fur under his right arm. I could tell he knows that when I say ‘we’ I am not including the feed in that statement.
Finally the elevator reached the bottom. “Oh! Finally we are here!” The doors opened to reveal Subject #592A-01. The large Arxur made for an imposing presence in the doorway. His deep blue tactical gear would almost be completely invisible in the dead of night. Yet in the clinical white hallways almost appeared as a slightly blue void.
As predicted the feed began to hysterically try and flee while screaming and alerting anything that might have wished to harm her of her presence. Typical. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! NOOOOOOOO NONONONONONO!” Subject #592A-01 did not flinch or move as instructed. Good.
What wasn’t good was the ear splitting wail from the feed as it desperately tried to flee. It was setting Subject #12v-01 on edge. He hadn’t reached for his knife yet, but had simply taken a defensive stance. I imagine my calm demeanor clued him in on how to act. Clever.
I strode forward past it. “Come along now! We haven’t got all day! 592A-01 help them along, please and thank you.” Subject #592A-01 surged forward and quickly seized the feed. She began to frantically hit the muscle laden arms of Subject #592A-01 yet her claws were unable to even tear the cloth covering his armor. Small traces of orange blood started to cover Subject #592A-01’s gear before he pinned the feed’s arm behind it to stop it from damaging itself further. The wailing sound was starting to give me a headache but it wouldn’t last much longer
Subject #592A-01 turned and grabbed Subject #12v-01’s arm and began to drag them behind me as we walked down the corridor. Subject #12v-01 was barely able to touch the ground but complied and walked with us, while the feed was drug kicking and screaming.
This right here. Any primitive other than Subject #12v-01 would be just like this feed, panicking like the dumb animals they are. Yet here he was. Someone that was paying attention, fully intent on surviving and taking advantage of any opportunity to the fullest.
I turned into the activity room I set up for this demonstration. 10 of my hand raised Arxur soldiers stood at attention waiting for me to give any order. Their gear almost making them indistinguishable from Subject #592A-01, who came in and deposited both Subject #12v-01 and the feed into the center of the room and stood back to guard the door as instructed previously. The feed desperately clung onto Subject #12v-01 who almost seemed to console the feed but simultaneously arranged himself to be able to use her as a shield if needed. Clever.
“Ahem…” The feed jerked her head to be able to see me, while Subject #12v-01 kept the Arxur Soldiers and Subject #592A-01 in his field of view, yet couldn’t see me as well. Clever. “Welcome to the labs! Here I work diligently to ensure that the Federation has all the tools necessary to keep everyone safe!” I grasped my tentacles together in a giddy excitement. It was always great to share my work with others!
“SAFE! SAFE? These are fucking monsters! We aren’t safe!” I grimaced at that statement. An expression that thankfully Subject #12v-01 was able to see when he turned to face me. He was now focusing his attention on me. He clearly knew I was in charge and thus was the biggest threat to his safety. Clever.
“Sorry, I wasn’t referring to you Female Venlil Feed Subject #387V-42.” Her ears drooped and her jaw hung loosely from her head. I could barely make out the faintest sound from her mouth. Subject #12v-01 seemed to recognize the feed as a liability now. Good. “You see. In order for there to be prosperity there must be safety. For there to be safety there must be control.” Subject #12v-01 seemed to calm down and while he was still tensed ready for action, took a more neutral stance. The feed simply stared in abject horror and disbelief. Pathetic.
“When we, the founding species, discovered the third race of intelligent beings, we were aghast at their barbaric and primitive natures. They were still killing each other with sticks! And for what? Land? Water? Food?” I started to pace back and forth as I taught my history lesson. “NO! They killed each other in the thousands because the other members of their species were simply their enemies! Couple this with the disgusting act of eating corpses, fish and other small animals, every attempt to make them into something respectable failed. They were just too aggressive. Too… predatory.”
The feed just started to shake and sob. Subject #12v-01 looked to understand where I was going with this. I gestured to the squad of Axur in the room. “Take the Arxur for example. When we discovered them they were locked in a civil war over ideals. The ideals of, is it better to be feared, or to be loved? The dominion believed that cruelty was the best way to control and keep their people safe, while the Northwest Bloc tried to be transparent with their people, tried to let them be free, even if that made things dangerous.” I felt another wave of excitement rush over me as I started to bounce on the spot.
“The best thing happened when we made contact! They declared peace! They started to work together! Both sides desperately strove to incorporate our technology and follow our uplift plan! They desperately wanted to be like us! To live in peace and harmony! The only uplifts to ever do so without us having to prune their primitive cultures first!” The feed just shook her head in disbelief.
“The only mistake we made with them was not realizing that they were incapable of digesting plant matter at all. They were the first sapient obligate carnivores that we had ever found! So when the time came and a famine struck Wriss, we gave them a cure to end their dependence on meat." I animatedly shrugged as I kept teaching "Ooops! Killed nearly a fourth of their population! Thankfully it didn’t kill all of them. Though something strange happened. All of their livestock died. When we realized what had happened we already began to draft an extermination plan and got our fleet into position when the oddest thing happened.”
I held my tentacles wide in excitement. “Their PROPHET contacted us! Let us know that the dominion had taken control! That they used our ‘cure’ to kill their livestock. He made his people doubt the way of the Northwest bloc, and reinforced that the Dominion is in the right. He gave us proof of what we always knew. FEAR. Fear rules unchallenged. So we gave the Prophet’s most loyal weapons, and they purged the Northwest Blocs staunchest defenders. Then came the time for them to return the favor they owed us.”
Subject #12v-01 was completely calm now. He knew what was coming. The feed looked lost, distant. Worthless. “We moved our fleets out of the way. After all. We had no idea we were about to be attacked! Then the dominion launched its campaign and worlds fell. People fled in fear, and our control went from being loosely held by us to being a noose around the primitive's necks.”
“My soldiers here are a gift from the dominion.” I gestured around to all of my children. “I raised them from their eggs. Made them the perfect soldiers. With them we can ensure that if we, or the dominion, need someone… erased or need just a little bit of chaos to remind the mindless masses who is in charge, well… they will ensure it always happens flawlessly.”
The feed looked up in horror. “You.. You're a monster!” I just laughed. What a stupid notion. “ME?! A monster? Monsters hurt sapient creatures without a single care. There are four sapient races in the galaxy. The Kolshians, the Farsul, the Prophet descendants, and Humanity.” I expected Subject #12v-01 to react to my statement but his demeanor almost seemed to… agree? Good.
“The dominion keeps its people scared of starving and thus in control. Sadly that leaves them as sub-sapients, but every so often they get a useful tool and we authorize an uplift to our status.” Subject #12v-01 looked down at the feed in almost a state of disgust. He was putting the pieces together flawlessly! Time to test that.
“I grow bored of this. I was hoping that maybe you were worth something. I guess I was wrong…” I slowly paced away from the center of the room. Distancing myself just far enough away if either of them rushed me they would never be able to get to me. “My children. Eat.”
In one motion every one of my children turned to look at the two Venlil. With one step heard, all of them put a foot forward and then… Subject #12v-01 decided to act.
With one fluid movement he brandished his knife from its hiding spot. My children took a moment to ensure they could strike without being struck. I swished my tail and gave a silent order to not kill Subject #12v-01… yet.
He grabbed the feed in a manner almost like he was taking a hostage. Then his knife slid into the base of its spine. It let out a blood curdling scream as it fell to the floor. Tears poured from its eyes as it looked up to Subject #12v-01 and then to its legs as it failed to move them. It began to sob hysterically and tried to crawl to the corridor we entered from.
As it slowly made its attempt to escape, Subject #12v-01 cast the knife aside, letting it slide harmlessly across the floor till it came to a stop at my feet. I gave him a quizzical look. He stood proud and stated “I am more use to you as a tool than as feed for your soldiers. I know the inner workings of Venlil Primes government better than Tarva herself. I know how to wrap Humans around my fingers and make them do my bidding without them having a clue it's happening. Use me. I guarantee you that you will regret letting them eat me.”
After his defiant statement was over he stood still and lowered his arms from their elevated position. He seemed to relax as I picked up his knife and walked to him with my tail flicking happily behind me. “YES! I knew you were truly a sapient being! I am so relieved that I was right about you! You saw it, yes? How she wasn’t like us? How she couldn’t act beyond what she was taught?” Subject #12v-01… No Wisterly. “Wisterly, a lot of races consider yours to be weak. Do you know what I think about your race?”
Wisterly took a moment to ponder my question. With a slight tilt to his head he responded “No Sir. I do not know what you think of my race.” I couldn’t help but let my tail flick with excitement. “I think your race has always had great potential. Sadly a lot of your race are gullible to say the least, but you? You are something special. You don’t just accept your fate!”
I waved a tentacle at the crawling, sniveling feed. “You aren’t like them! You ACT! You think! You change your fate! Come now! We are in great need of your skills!” I handed him back his knife. “Oh. #592A-01. Feed.”
I started to talk to Wisterly about our plans and how he would be fitting in to it as #592A-01 approached the feed. He placed a foot on its legs pining it in place. It left streaks of orange blood across the floor as it ripped its claws out trying to escape. Then #592A-01 failed its test. It bent down holding the feed still, locked its jaws around the head and bit down crushing the skull and killing the feed instantly.
“STOP. STOP STOP STOP. WHAT IN MY NAME WAS THAT!” #592A-01 froze, before it stood to attention. “I killed the feed Father.” I let out a long defeated sigh. “Did I TELL you to kill the feed?”
“No Father.”
I took a step closer to him “Why did I tell you to feed? And Why did I not tell you to kill?”
“So that when the time comes I can flawlessly imitate the Dominion’s Arxur, Father.”
I turned away and threw my tentacles into the air. “Children. Feed.”
Failure #592A-01 stood perfectly still as its siblings approached. Subject #592A-02 held Failure #592A-01’s arms still as she locked her jaws around his abdomen and ripped his intestines out. The others descended on it as I led Wisterly out of the room and gave one final order. “Don’t eat the head. Bring that to the lab before it starts to rot.”

Something is off with all of this. I don’t know how to tell Kila that we are in grave danger without alerting Dr. Kilousai that I was aware of his deceitful nature. He answered her every question as though she wasn’t part of the herd. Something was very wrong.
The elevator reached its destination and the doors opened to reveal what was clearly an Arxur in full military gear. He didn’t move from his position and Dr. Kilousai didn’t even seem to care that it was here. Like he expected it. Kila was freaking out trying to get the doors to close, busting her finger bloody as she tried. I choose to stay as still and calm as possible. I knew my knife was still in reach. I can’t let the Arxur know it's there or I am dead.
Dr. Kilousai ordered the Arxur to grab us. I had the thought that maybe the Humans had allied with the Arxur, who made it behind Fed lines and took control, but that theory just got killed when a Koloshian ordered an Arxur. The Human's wouldn't let someone from the Cure Program in a leadership position.
It had to restrain Kila to stop her from hurting herself, but simply drug me by my arm. I chose not to resist. Not the right time. No escape route yet.
Dr. Kilousai led us into a large room with 10 more Arxur in it. The one holding us threw us into the center of the room. Before I could charge Dr. Kilousai and take him hostage, Kila grabbed hold of me and wouldn’t let go. Not good. I gently took hold of her and moved her in such a way that she would feel safe but could easily be moved to defend myself. Sorry Kila. It's you or me in this situation.
Dr. Kilousai cleared his throat to speak causing Kila to jerk and look at him. Stupid. He isn’t the threat. I kept my eyes on the Arxur. They didn’t flinch.
“Welcome to the labs! Here I work diligently to ensure that the Federation has all the tools necessary to keep everyone safe!” He grasped his tentacles together in a giddy excitement. He looked genuinely pleased to share this with us. Odd.
“SAFE! SAFE? These are fucking monsters! We aren’t safe!” I couldn’t stop Kila from stupidly blurting this out. It was clear that upset Dr. Kilousai. Not good. I kept my eyes on him. The Arxur clearly wouldn’t move unless he ordered them to. He was the threat in this room.
“Sorry, I wasn’t referring to you Female Venlil Feed Subject #387V-42.” Spehg. He assigned her a name like that. Likely to distance her being from the idea of her personhood. I wasn’t stupid. My name right now is likely not too far off from hers. Need to change that. He continued “You see. In order for there to be prosperity there must be safety. For there to be safety there must be control.” He wasn’t wrong. It oddly made sense. I knew the federation could field billions of ships for every single one the Arxur could, but they never took the initiative to exterminate them.
“When we, the founding species, discovered the third race of intelligent beings, we were aghast at their barbaric and primitive natures. They were still killing each other with sticks! And for what? Land? Water? Food?” He started to pace back and forth. “NO! They killed each other in the thousands because the other members of their species were simply their enemies! Couple this with the disgusting act of eating corpses, fish and other small animals, every attempt to make them into something respectable failed. They were just too aggressive. Too… predatory.”
Kila just started to sob. He gestured to the squad of Axur in the room. “Take the Arxur for example. When we discovered them they were locked in a civil war over ideals. The Ideals of is it better to be feared or to be loved? The dominion believed that cruelty was the best way to control and keep their people safe, while the Northwest Bloc tried to be transparent with their people, tried to let them be free, even if that made things dangerous.” I thought about it. Thought about the Federation's early history. The Krakotl were a problem. Nikonus said so himself. The federation was trying love and found it failed. Then comes the Arxur fighting for an answer to the same question… I think I knew where he was going with this.
“The best thing happened when we made contact! They declared peace! They started to work together! Both sides desperately strove to incorporate our technology and follow our uplift plan! They desperately wanted to be like us! To live in peace and harmony! The only uplifts to ever do so without us having to prune their primitive cultures first!”
Kila shook her head in disbelief. “The only mistake we made with them was not realizing that they were incapable of digesting plant matter at all.

With them we can ensure that if we or the dominion need someone… erased or need just a little bit of chaos to remind the mindless masses who is in charge well… they will ensure it always happens flawlessly.”
Kila looked up in horror and opened her stupid mouth again. “You.. You're a monster!” He just laughed this time. Not a good sign. “ME?! A monster? Monsters hurt sapient creatures without a single care. There are four sapient races in the galaxy. The Kolshians, the Farsul, the Prophet descendants, and Humanity.”
“The dominion keeps its people scared of starving and thus in control. Sadly that leaves them as sub-sapients, but every so often they get a useful tool and we authorize an uplift to our status.” I think I understand what he was talking about. Kila. She wasn’t really a person was she?
“I grow bored of this. I was hoping that maybe you were worth something. I guess I was wrong…” He slowly paced away from the center of the room. Distancing myself just far enough away if either of them rushed me they would never be able to get to me. “My children. Eat.”

Not worth my care. “Wisterly, a lot of races consider yours to be weak. Do you know what I think about your race?”
I took a moment to ponder the question. With a slight tilt to my head I responded “No Sir. I do not know what you think of my race.”

Memory transcription subject: Subject #592A-01
Date [standardized human time]: REDACTED
Current Order: Wait at elevator door to enact further instructions.
The door opened. Father was there with two Venlil. One began to panic. The other froze.
Current Order: Bring Venlil unharmed with Father wherever he wishes.
I grabbed them and had to pin the screaming one's arms to stop her from harming herself. The scared one was easy to pull along. I like that one. Its fur is soft. Maybe if I am good Father will let me keep it? Like the sleeping Sivkit.
Current Order: Leave Venlil in center of room for feeding exercise. Guard door.
I stood still waiting for Father to issue his orders. Crying Venlil was Crying. I couldn't make her feel better. I felt sad as the other one was rather cute. Wish we didn’t have to eat that one. He was rather warm. Would have been nice to sleep next too.
Current Order: Fake step towards Venlil.
The calm one was not nice. He stabbed the crying one in the spine and paralyzed her from the waist down. I wish we could fix her instead of eating her. I bet she is nice. Maybe Father might let us have her now? I would have to clean her as she likely can’t control her bowel movements but that's ok! It would be nice to have a friend!
Current Order: Eat Crying Venlil.
I am sorry little one. I will make this as painless as possible.
Current Order: Don’t move, Answer questions.
Father is so mad at me. He was testing me and I failed. I am a failure. I deserve this. Mate approaches me now. Mate will eat me. Grow strong from my body mate. May the next mate Father selects for you be better than me.

I live in a 1b1b small condo (brand new 2022 built) as my residence near Seattle WA. I bought it for a bit under 500k. Since it’s a condo, we have a parking garage underneath. I have one assigned parking spot. To install an EV charger it costs 10k USD (turns out this is fairly standard for condos because they have to do some work with the electrical line, I’m not sure).
Is it a fair assumption that if I install an EV charger at my parking spot (I want to buy an EV so this would be for me for the foreseeable future), that my resale value would go up by around 10k?
Similarly rent values?
Thanks!

Does anyone have any success with a travel wedge pillow? I travelled for the first time since using a wedge pillow at home and my symptoms immediately became much worse (sore tonsils, acid in back of teeth, burning sensation in back of throat). Hoping I can come up with a solution as I don't want to go backwards in my treatment!

I am looking for a recommendation for a carbon steel 240mm gyuto with a karouchi finish. Budget is 150 to 250 euro.
I'm a home cook based in Europe (Ireland). As we don't have high-end knife shops here, I buy online. I already have 6 Japanese knives of different shapes and sizes.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

In 1-2 years I will be retiring my service dog. I am planing my successor dog with his org. I can’t describe the sadness I feel thinking I’ll be going out and doing things without him. I’ll be going to work, grad school, and other daily events without him. I can’t imagine not having him by my side. He is super helpful with his tasks but the biggest positive effect on my life has been having the constant companionship. Being disabled is isolating and after leaving tight knit family of EMS I felt lost. He is such a sensitive soul and loving and caring. This is sometimes to a fault as he feels each one of my emotions as his own. I feel a connection to him like I’ve never felt with anyone else. My heart just breaks knowing he’ll be staying at home for me as me and my successor do things. How did everyone else react to retiring their first dog?

A very dear friend of mine took his own life and I feel like I am partially to be blamed. I know that he has been depressed for losing his job and his girlfriend almost at the same time. Matthew (closed to his real name) is very introverted and wouldn't ask for help but I know what he's going through. I have been helping him with things that I can; buying him groceries and visiting him after work to cheer him up and giving him the talk about getilting a new job.
During one of our conversation he opened up about possibly getting evicted. Asked if he can move in with me temporarily. Told him I'll see what I can do. I talked with my roommate but he's not pond of the idea. Told him this last week and he asked if I have an extra money to help him pay rent. I would've given it to him in a heartbeat if I have money to give. For the first time, after I said no I heard him sob. If i only knew that it's the last time I will hear for him I wouldve told me how the situation is temporary and cheer him up more. But im also broke that can barely afford to eat 3x a day.
Received the news from his landlord that he hang himself. Didnt left a note but his phone was unlocked that's why his landlord managed to message me. I was in disbelief hearing it and I cant help but blame myself.
Matthew was a silent but a good guy. Hes a runaway kid and what I know is he's an only kid, been out of contact to his father for years and his mom died when he was young.
I can't sleep and I have been blaming myself for allowing this to happen. I should have done more. I wouldve sold my phone if I knew that this is going to happen. His body is still in funeral homes and I am the one taking care of things but I dont know where in God's hand Ill be able to afford all the bills and burying him. If I have to sell a kidney I would. This is the las thing tha I can do for him

So I've been playing the Resident Evil 4 remake. When I opened the game today, it said I have no save data. I checked in my ps5 settings, and it's still there. I tried restarting my console, reinstalling the game, checking for updates, and checking the physical disc for issues. What should I do? When I hover over the game on the home screen, it still shows the chapter I'm on but prompts me to start over when I actually launch the game.

IRL a person can survive multiple days without water and some weeks without food.In PZ, every 2 minutes my dumbass charachter needs water. The same with food. Or sometimes i need to get through some trees and bushes. Then boom, 3 lacerations, have a great day! Or the fact that he lives (we actually do not know) in Knox County and doesn't know jack shit about his surroundings. Maybe he came here(for whatever reason), but even then there is a path that he followed to get to the spawn point!!! And that he is dumb and doesn't know nothing about general shit (cooking, carpentry etc.).

Hey everyone! I will be coming to HKU on exchange in the coming fall semester (Sep-Dec 2023). I have a few questions about accommodations and living on/off campus. The HKU and CEDARS websites are not super clear on the options offered/pricing.
Is living in a residence/student housing generally preferable compared to getting a private rental? What are the pros and cons? Are HK's residential tenancy laws very protective of tenants, or do they favour landlords more? At my home university, it's more common to live off-campus in private rentals, and the housing market is quite straightforward.
What can I expect to pay for residences/student housing in halls or the CEDARS-administered residences (it appears to be up to ~7,000HKD/month)? Is it a lot less than if I were to get a private rental with flatmates? I spoke to some people from my university that went to HKU on exchange and stayed in private rentals, and it seemed that the difference wasn't huge.
Would it make more sense for me to stay in a CEDARS-administered residence, since it seems more geared towards exchange students?
What are the odds I'm able to get a single room or a spot in residence/student housing at all? I heard spots are very limited and many exchange students end up having to get a private rental.
How do the amenities and dorms in residence/student housing compare to the private rental market? Do the former tend to be oldeless updated? Not a big deal for me, but probably good to know.
And finally, how important is it to stay on Hong Kong Island? I was told by some that staying in Kowloon can cause a quite long commute to campus, but some others found that staying in Kowloon was better. Is there more to do in Kowloon in terms of nightlife, activities, etc.?
My two main deal-breakers for accommodations are no AC and shared rooms. Perhaps this makes me a bit spoiled, but I'm not used to those, coming from a less populous and colder area!
That's a lot of questions, so thank you so much in advance for your help. I'm extremely excited to come visit HK for the first time!

So For a reminder this Happened in February 2022 So When We Got in October Everything is fine and Okay We would have some ups and downs But Sometimes They can get Angry Especially Towards me even though I didn’t do anything like this one time it was December at the time I was at their house and We were just having fun and talking and sitting in their room But then They were tired and It almost time for me to go home and They just got all mad and fed up and I was like “What’s wrong?” And They were like “My Dad texted me saying We have to take you home and I’m too tired to Get up!” And Their Dad Came upstairs and The Partner was arguing with him and I’m just standing there not saying a word and then They said “I hate you” then looking at me saying “I hate you all” and I was like “Why are you looking at me What I do?” Then They wanted me out so I got my shoes on and the rest of my things Trying not to cry Then I Teared up on the way home and Thinking about it Then I texted them saying “I’m sorry to annoy you but do you actually hate me...?” And They said “I just say that all the time I still love you I just also hate you but just a little bit like everyone else” I still felt a bit hurt and offended I couldn’t sleep,I couldn’t eat or drink and then the next day They were asking me a question and I didnt get it and they got all fed up and said “Oml Nvm I have other things to do Damn it!” And then Right before I was about to eat I started crying and didn’t want to eat anymore and I didn’t want to go to school and I would tell myself you’re the worst person to ever exist and My therapist and mom kept convincing me to Not talk to them anymore or take a break So I did then on New Year’s Eve we started talking again it was all good but something made me a bit insecure They described their dream partner and It mostly everything that I’m not and I just kept thinking about it all day and then when I told them I was a bit insecure about the dream partner thing and apologized that I’m not like their dream partner they said “Ik but You’re the greatest partner I have” They said they’re just not used to Healthy Relationships and They been through some Messed up Shit and I tried so much to make this relationship work and Be a Great partner to them and Comfort them but Then One night We were on FaceTime and my little brother was in my room and Everything was Good and Okay until My little brother thought it would be funny to Blast a inappropriate song out loud I tried to Stop him but he did it anyway and The partner hung up and I apologized about my Little Brother Then The Next Day This is When things went Horrible When I talk to them They were all like “I DON’T WANT TO SPEAK TO THAT LITTLE F*CKER!,I WILL KILL HIM” My little brother is like 9-11 He’s just a kid And I tried to Apologize my Little Brother tried to apologize then The partner wanted to Call me Without my brother So I went all the way to the 3rd floor while the phone was ringing then it stopped When I tried to Call them Back They Texted “Bitch bye” And I broke down and My Mom saw the Messages and Was mad at The partner and Said “You don’t let nobody call you Out of Your Name” I still had tears and It just ruined my Day and At Night I decided to (HOLD UP TRIGGER WARNING FOR THOSE WHO ARE TRIGGERED TO SELF HARM SO BE PREPARED FOR WHAT HAPPENED NEXT) So I Cutted myself On My Arm a Couple of Times and Went to my room My Mom found out And She doesn’t like The partner Then a Few days later I just started to lose feelings and I just know it’s to break up with The partner So I texted the Mom In Tears saying “I’m so sorry But I wanted to Break up with The Partner Can you tell them that?” She said “Yeah” And The mom is a great person and She said “You’re a Great Kid” and I started crying And The mom said that The Ex Understands I feel like a jerk and Sometimes I regretted Breaking up with Them and Sometimes I still miss Them to this day and Sometimes look at old messages,So AITA??

i started dating my boyfriend a little over a year ago. right from the beginning i felt something was off about his parents because he didn’t even want them to know he was dating me. i always had to leave before his parents got home, and he wouldn’t talk about me even in a friendly way. eventually his parents found out when his dad came home early unexpectedly and saw me sitting on the couch. i didn’t know what to do so i sort of froze up, and his dad said “so you aren’t going to introduce yourself or anything?”
and they’re so mean to him. he says it’s no big deal but it makes me so mad. i honestly don’t think i’ve ever heard them say something nice to him or praise him for anything. he’s not allowed to eat during the day, only when they have dinner as a family which is usually not until 7 or 8pm. he does nearly all of the housework for them and they don’t even acknowledge it let alone thank him.
and they use me as punishment for him. i can’t fucking stand it. two weeks ago, they canceled our plans to go to an event that we’ve had tickets for since october. and they did that the day before we had to go. for no reason at all. told him they were going out “as a family” and that was final. they had even asked me the week before if i was excited and i said it’s all i’ve been looking forward to. and, because it was so last minute, i wasn’t able to even resell the tickets that were $65 each.
yesterday, i had the worst day i’ve had in years. my entire week was difficult, but it was really hitting me yesterday. my boyfriend got home at 3:40pm and i went to see him. his mom came home at 4:00pm and, while watching me have a breakdown in her son’s room, told me that she would let him walk me to the end of his street but that i had to go home.
i worked all day today, and needless to say it was just as shitty as the rest of my week has been. to top it off, my boyfriend and i have conflicting schedules until at least may. i would be able to see him tomorrow, and that would be it until at least halfway through next month. i really wanted to get one last visit in to maybe make this god awful week a little bit better, but of fucking course, his parents say he will be busy spending “family time” with them from 7 in the morning until 10 in the evening. and there is “no way in hell” that he’s getting out of it.
i absolutely broke down. he is the only person i really even see ever, as my only other friends have moved away for college. i am going to be entirely alone on every free day i have until mid april, if even that. i might not even get to see him until may! and yeah, i told him i can’t stand his parents. i told him i’m sick of them and all of this dumb shit they do to get him out of seeing me. he started to defend them but honestly i’m just so angry.

I currently live in WA, and will be relocating to CO in July. I have worked for the same company for about 7 years, and have been fully 100% remote for the last three years, with both verbal and written agreements that I will continue to be 100% remote for the duration of my employment.
I was planning on giving my notice to my employer to end my employment two weeks before my move date. While they have mentioned previously (last year) that they were looking into how they could employ remote workers outside of WA, I have not heard any updates on that. It was my understanding that I needed to be living in WA to be able to work remotely for this company. My partner disagrees, and thinks I should simply move and not say anything since the agreement is for remote work anyway.
If I simply moved and said nothing, wouldn’t I run into tax issues? CO has a state income tax, WA does not. As a resident of CO, wouldn’t I need to pay the state income tax, even if my employer is based in WA? Also, my understanding was that my employer needed some sort of “authorization” legal mumbo jumbo to employ outside of their home state, so wouldn’t I be putting my employer in a bad position by working in another state without “authorization”?
My partner and I are both finding conflicting information when Googling to prove our opposing points. I still would feel more comfortable at least letting my employer know I am relocating, and then resigning if I need to, but my partner is very adamant that I not do that. Does anyone have any insight on this that can help us settle this?

I have a native terrarium and I inspected and washed everything I put in. For some reason, ants started appearing and are making a home in my 5 gal native terrarium. Does anyone know how to get rid of them with out hurting my spring tails, isopods and snails?

Messed up and lost my last friend. I'm 30 years old, I don't see how there's anyway to find new friends. I have extreme social anxiety so even just the though of trying to do meetups or find social groups to join freaks me out. I don't have interest in my hobbies anymore either.
i don't want to spend the rest of my life going to work, coming home and having nothing to live for. how do people make friends at this age?
