As the title says I am a 20 year old male from Texas living in Texas looking to chat with people that are night owls like me people that like to call or text for hours at a time or just a short term chat I have many hobbies like fishing swimming making things outdoors I own a landscaping company that I am trying to get bigger and better I am also a very big weapon fan I love making people laugh and smile so far if any of this sound interesting to you feel free to hit me up im always down for a chat my discord is in my bio if you prefer that method of chatting. But anyways thank you for reading this far and to all you lovely people have a nice day

In my first year of college, I met this one friend, K, who I thought was friendly and outgoing at first. As a result, I decided to sign a lease and room with her for the next 2 years. This past year living with her, I have become increasingly more irritated with K as she has become extremely confrontational, bossy, and condescending.
First, K makes a lot of jokes to people that I find to be borderline rude, however, everyone else seems to love them. For example, one time in a group setting, K jokingly says to me "it's because everyone hates you", in which my response was "that's not funny." Another friend agreed with me and K stopped speaking to me for the rest of the night. A few weeks later in a group setting again, K makes a similar joke to someone else who laughed at it. K then says "see you can take a joke, unlike Emergency_Pack4915." I just found her comment to be a little humiliating and condescending, especially within a large group setting.
Another example is that K always announces to everyone that I can't cook since I like to use premade jars of sauce to save time (e.g. pasta sauce, butter chicken sauce). One time when I had friends over at our house, K "jokingly" told everyone that my food was "tasteless" since I didn't add any extra spices to the jar of butter chicken sauce like she usually does. Everyone laughed at her joke but I found it be quite irritating.
A final example was when I was once in a hurry to catch a flight so I missed a few spots when wiping the kitchen counters before I left. Since we have an agreed upon list of chores in our apartment, K confronted me in a GROUP CHAT with 8+ other people about how I didn't clean the kitchen at all. I would have gladly apologized and promised to do better, but what should have been a private discussion became a humiliating experience. Additionally, K also fails to complete weekly chores often, yet never apologizes for it.
These examples are just a few of MANY issues I have had with her in the past. However, it's these small things that build up and irritate me constantly. I have discussed my boundaries with her numerous times before, but she never truly takes them into consideration. The worst part is, she acts like this to all my friends, yet they all love hanging out with her. I am afraid that if I cut ties with her, I would eventually cut ties with my all other friends as well.
By the end of the semester, I essentially stopped interacting with my friends in group settings since she is always present. However, by avoiding the issue, my mental health has been quickly deteriorating. At this point, I am unsure if I am too easily offended or if she's the problem. Should I simply cut ties with her completely? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
TLDR: Roommate often makes condescending comments and jokes, often in group settings. All my friends apparently like hanging out with her so I am afraid cutting ties with her would make things super awkward in our social circles.

I’m trying my best. I’m trying so hard. More than I ever have actually. I’ve been genuinely looking for reasons to keep going. I feel so empty and lonely and scared. I feel so full of love in a way. But never get any back. Not from family, friends, anyone. I don’t have anyone. And I’ve tried, people just don’t care. It’s so confusing. My mom would care but she’s gone. I have not been ok since and am not sure if I’ll ever be at this point. And I’m sick of telling myself to do things because she’d want me to. I want her here. I love her so much and I need that unconditional love. I’d way rather be with her. I’ve been trying to avoid ending my life lately because it got so bad that I was dead set on it I just don’t have a good method , I promised myself to give it one last shot after going through so much shit lately. I just don’t think I can live with this void in my heart. I know I’m a good person and have only ever treated people with kindness, but where has that got me at this point? And the reason I haven’t killed myself yet is because I don’t want an attempt. It has to be for real. No one would care anyway it would just be a hospital bill I don’t wanna pay. I just wish I was a normal 20 year old , it was never supposed to be this way. I just keep telling myself to stick it out for a few more months til I can buy a gun. But it’s so hard to even do that. I don’t like any of this. I hate this. Why am I not partying and having fun with friends like normal girls my age. I’m deeply alone and having existential thoughts 24/7. Ugh it sucks because I’m usually pretty funny too. I’ve lost it because I’m just too sad all the time. And I swear I’m trying my very best. I’m really trying so hard. I don’t even know what will help at this point. It’s all just scary I guess. :( I hope no one ever has to feel the deep dark feelings that I am

Backstory:
Over the last three months my family has been met with more heartache than it seems possible to bear at times. I have lost my great grandmother and my great uncle both within a week of eachother. It was hard going to back to back funerals but my girlfriend helped me through it and together me and my family have been able to grieve together and things were starting to look up.
My girlfriend's grandfather had been in poor health and had begun declining at increasing pace during the months since. She had started grieving the fact that he was not going to be around for a lot of the things we have planned for the future. Our wedding, buying a house and potentially having children. I was doing everything I could to support her and help her come to terms with this and still find happiness in our future.
Three weeks ago she got a phone call early in the morning, I immediately jumped out of bed because she sounded so distressed and I could hear someone yelling on the other side of the call. She said, "we're on our way.' and hung up the phone. She looked at me as she started crying and said, 'It's Roberta' her grandmother. Once we were in the car driving to their house we got a call from her grandfather and he all but confirmed for us that she had passed in her sleep.
Roberta was in seemingly perfect health and we were all expecting her to live long after my girlfriends grandfather had passed. In an unexpected instant that turned out not to be the case. All of this hurts us so much more because she wasn't just a grandmother but she had raised my girlfriend and was in her eyes a mother to her.
The weeks since have been like nothing I ever thought I'd experience. An unexpected death is so hard to deal with because it knocks the wind right out of you and then you have to get up and start taking care of everything that needs to be done. It has been unbelievably hard and it's taking everything we have in ourselves to keep our heads above water.
Story story:
I've been watching Wubby for over five years. I've watched every YouTube video, many vods and, as a Magic fan, have been enjoying Magic Mondays. Sharing my enjoyment of Wubby with my girlfriend has been a fun thing we've shared occasionally watching videos or vods together. Tonight I was watching the newest highlight channel video when I thought, 'I never am able to catch Wubby while he's streaming.' So I opened twitch and he was live! How exciting.
When I join Wubby is in the middle of showing how the subreddit is replacing letters with 'sn' as in Pay Money Snubby. I, thinking I'm quite funny, quickly type 'Snilarious' just to humor myself. After a couple seconds Wubby says 'Snilarious shut the fuck up'. Once the shock subsided I chuckled, laughed and then cried. I don't know what it is that sent me over the edge. I think over the last week it feels like I'm not being seen, for the things I'm doing or the things I did. Which is ridiculous because I know my girlfriend has been so appreciative of everything and my family is being so caring right now. Still bad thoughts enter your mind at times like these. Something about being seen by someone who I regard so highly, in a sea of KEKW's felt so good.
All this to say that my first Wubby stream made my whole week. I could barely walk to the other room to splurt out to my gf what happened. I've been remembering it and my heart starts racing as if he's still doing it to me. Having Wubby tell me to Shut The Fuck Up really did make me feel so much better.
Wubby if you read this, keep telling people to STFU you never know who needs to hear it most. When I told my girlfriend about it she only had one thing to say..
"Snice" 😎
Tldr; I tell Wubby the subreddit is 'Snilarious' he tells me to stfu, I laughed, I cried, it moved me Bob

I used to have a dear fren. We’ve been thru a lot and I feel I’ve been good to her. She’s also been pretty good to me. I have noticed her negativity tho. She bad mouths everyone and everything. She has issues with everyone. She loves gossip and putting people down. She is kind of a weasel but I love her cuz she’s funny and we had similar childhoods. She likes being “the first to know”. Lives for gossip. She feels bad about her weight so she compensates by beinf overly self righteous in every other area. She has done a few things that have given me pause over our 20 year fren ship. She and her husband ditched us in Vegas, a mutual fren’s dad died and she didn’t tell me! I found out by happenstance and she has ignored multiple important texts from me. She does petty shit like that despite being very close, I’d say BFF’s for 15 od the 20 years or so. I helped her thru her 2 brothers deaths and her moms death. We spent many Saturday’s smokin and drinking by a fire. Anyway the last stance was at a picnic. I have a Louis Vuitton bag that I bought myself-used- so not a perfect one but still nice. Its one of my favorite assessories and she knows that!! I placed my bag on the picnic table where I was gonna sit. I got my plate of food and when I came back, my purse was on the ground and she was sitting in the seat where my bag was originally placed. Woman to woman, I’ve never touched another woman’s purse. It’s sacred ground if you will. I’d ask first before I moved someone’s purse but I would absolutely NEVER put it on the ground. Idk what to do. I love this bitch and I know she loves me in some way but maybe I am fooling myself??? I am a good fren! I wish I knew what to say to her. I wish I was witty and could let her know how I feel in a way that doesn’t make me sound stupid. My sister died and she didn’t even send me a card. I pulled back. I stopped texting her and haven’t called her. She too doesn’t text. We live on the same court and wave hi and bye but never talk anymore. It’s sad.

So I heard that black ops 6 is gonna be on game pass day 1 and as of rn I'm living in Pakistan probably for like another year snd when I open the Xbox app on my pc there's only like 5 games like forza, Minecraft and stuff and I sold my Xbox so is there any way to actually get more games on the app that I'm paying so much for? Also I tried a vpn it didn't change anything but maybe it was because it was a shitty vpn.

I've seen posts on here about people who just don't like the movie. I wouldn't say that, but I do think the upbeat music is an ironic choice that obscures the dark world the characters inhabit. They have nothing to do but drive aimlessly around and be destructive. Their lives aren't building to anything. The main characters are bullies and conformists and they perpetuate the cycle of violence (even the teachers are part of the system), but the only time this cycle is questioned is for a joke at the expense of the contextual weirdo, coded-gay character. People have compared it to American Graffiti, but that film embraces its more somber tone, or to Superbad, but that film is actually fun and funny. People rewatch this movie, but I found it tough to get through. It brought up all the pain I remember from being a teenager. I don't have a lot of nostalgia for those times. I was both a bully and bullied. I grew up in a small town. I did drugs and went to the occasional party. (although I didn't drive until after college). So I definitely relate to the setting and premise, but the film focuses on all the things about my small town that made me get out when I turned 18 and cut ties with most of the burnout townies I knew. Just the utter hopelessness and myopia. I can't really understand why people look back on times like these with such rosy glasses. That's what the film seems to do, but I can't quite determine if it's genuine or ironic.

Especially those of you that are framelet/manlet at the same time
The way the laws are set up in the uk is a fucking joke if you carry any weapon for self defence you will be imprisoned but this is one brutal thing I find funny about it
Ive been attacked several times In the last few years and a few times when I was younger always by people who are way bigger then me there was no way for me to escape the situation the police didnt help or care and theres no way I could have defended myself without a weapon
Its almost like these laws are set up against people like us taller stronger men can defend themselves with their bare hands and wont be imprisoned(not like they will be put in these situations most of the time anyway) but people like us are just expected to take a beating or be robbed and if you defend yourself then you will be imprisoned
What a fucking joke I hate living as a framelet
I could handle being my height (5’6/5’7) if I had a big frame but the combination is brutal
You will always be disrespected and are the first choice to be bullied and beaten for no reason
People like us have the highest chance of being attacked for no reason because we are easy targets yet we still arent allowed to carry a weapon
I fucking hate this world everything is rigged against men with bad genes

I am a 36 year old guy. I am middle eastern, bald and living in Vancouver Canada for 3 years now. I am a tech guy so during my career and studying I didn’t have chance to hangout with hot girls. I have an accent but I speak English very well. I feel that I am not meant to meet any hot girl. I only get chance with girls that I’m out of their leagues. I know that I have a very good personality. All people that I meet like me so much because am I kind, caring and also I’m so funny. This good side only appears when I am given the chance to be myself. Otherwise, I end up silent and don’t talk a lot to people. I feel that all girls ignore me. I know that can’t be true statistically but that’s what I can notice. Even on dating apps, I put effort in good profile but not getting matches at all. I went to dance classes to learn salsa, there are no hot girls there and I know if I meet hot girls there, they will be arrogant. I tried to cold approach girls but girls here in Vancouver are not approachable and they brutally reject me. I am confused, what should I do? I am sure that I am a good guy. I am smart, generous, confident, successful and I have a good personality but I’m sure there is something wrong about me that I can’t figure out. I have also worked so hard on my self the last decade to transform myself into a completely different person with different identity and beliefs. I don’t know what else can I do to have better luck with girls. Any honest and true advice will be highly appreciated.

I don't know what it is but everything around me looks a lot slower: people, cars, etc. life feels really easy if that makes sense. I'm just flowing, my intuition has gotten a lot better. I'm literally living in the moment and enjoying everything fully, connecting with everybody so easily. Life feels different.
I also cut out so many bad habits on the same day. I stopped masturbating and stopped smoking weed (those were the two major ones), I started focusing on work more, started meditating and trying to live with purpose and embrace who I really am.
I think I may have experienced a kundalini awakening/exited a dark night of the soul because before all this I was suicidal, daily. Something happened starting on May 20th; I couldn't sleep or eat anything for a few days, but I still had so much energy. I was definitely manic (but still functional and mostly sane) and my body temperature was through the roof. I was literally burning with energy. The insomnia, loss of appetite and all that is better now, but I just want to keep this energy because life has been good for me for once.
With all that in mind however it could've just been withdrawals from the weed because I was smoking a lot for a lengthy period of time. Some of the symptoms (at least physically) match up with those of a spiritual awakening funny enough.
Edit: I'm not saying cannabis and masturbation are bad. Everything in moderation...I was abusing both and they were negatively affecting my life. Cannabis actually helped me for a bit with anxiety in the beginning before giving me massive paranoia and derealization.

I'm new here, and to reddit in general so I thought I would contribute with a story about the first time I saw Wilco. Bonnaroo 2013, they opened for McCartney on the main stage (Friday?). I was in my early 20's, and was soaring on some of the best acid I had ever encountered (the typical Bonnaroovian). We were posted to the left of front of house, and the band was wonderful. They opened with Poor Places which I found interesting. I had never watched any live footage of them, was never a YouTuber or anything, so I was unaware of the treatment they gave Via Chicago live. For those of you who don't know, at certain gentle points of the song when in the recorded version there is some noise and random sounds clanking around low in the mix, the band has a tendency to turn these moments into a full volume freak out of ass shattering noise while Jeff continues to calmly strum along singing the tune. The first time they did this, it completely wrecked my LSD addled young brain. This is a beautiful creaking tune, it doesn't have sudden bursts of High On Fire concert levels of noise. When they engage with the noise making, they go for about 10 seconds or so at a time, and then stop as suddenly as they started. At this point in my life, I was a pretty big fan, having lived in Chicago for a bit interning in a recording studio I had developed a deep respect for their creative process. For some reason, the only thing my brain could do to reconcile all the sudden noise making that did not fucking belong in this song, was decide that they had a backing track racked up on a tape machine back stage, and it had malfunctioned and was spinning wonderously out of control. Of course Wilco's backing tracks would be on a tape machine, they wouldn't use a MacBook, they're not heathens. None the less, I was shattered. One of my favorite bands was using backing tracks, and this was their Jamie Lynn Spears dancing off the stage moment. They were outed. Frauds. Understandably, I maintain, I began shrieking at the top of my lungs; much to the fright of the 20 or so fellow kids around me trying to sob along with Jeff singing maybe Wilco's saddest song. I was in shock partly because of the sudden burst of noise, and partly because of the realization that Wilco was a buncha cheaters. As soon as the noise stopped, I quieted my cries and stood there in shock, mouth agape at the realization that just dawned on me. I didn't mind the nervous stares from my peers trying to watch a show. Once I came to and got my wits about me best I could given my current state, I pulled myself up on the metal barrier splitting the crowd from front of house to the stage to try and get an eye on the chaos I was sure was ensuing back stage. I imagined a roadie frantically trying to fix the machine while being cussed out by a more senior, angry roadie. I couldn't see anything, and the kids around me were back to enjoying the show. My friends were looking at me funny. The noise began again, I started shrieking again, this time pulling my shoulder length hair out with both hands. I couldn't believe it, it was happening again. My friend turned around to see if I was okay right as the noise stopped. I was not capable of articulating my thoughts at the time. My hair is pulled out at all angles, my mouth agape, I just muttered something and awkwardly hugged her. She went back to watching the show. At this point I had resigned myself to the idea that in show business, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I wasn't going to blame Wilco for making a questionable decision to cut corners. I would support them through the media firestorm that was sure to follow such a high profile snafu. Again.. Extremely loud noise. This time, I wasn't taken by surprise. I squinted up to the stage to try and see what was happening, and I noticed for the first time that Kotche's arms were flailing around. By God, it dawned on me, they were doing it on purpose. I started laughing hysterically, and my friends looked at me nervously wondering just what the fuck was going on inside my acid brain. I had tears streaming out of my eyes, and was overwhelemed with how awesome this band was for coming up with such a disastrously unsettling way to make this song unique live, and add a bit of levity to a song maybe not suited to this environment. I decided that at some point, the band knew that some idiot kid would be out in one of their crowds, out of his mind on acid, and in some way this crazy barrage of sound was going to fuck his world up. I could see that big grin on Jeff's face as he gave a wink.. "gotcha". If you read this far, I hope this story made you smile. Maybe share a story of a funny moment at a Wilco show?

[honestly kind of irrelevant backstory]

Highly doubt he’s on reddit at all but I will be changing/leaving out some details anyways.
Started a new job awhile back, co worker caught my eye. First few days I was just trying to learn the lay of the land and be generally comfortable, but I walked past him a few times. I summed it up to the fact that he was the one of two of the only guys around my age (give or take 5 years) so of course I thought he was attractive in comparison to everyone else. And then my second week there we made eye contact while walking past one another and he smiled at me…and my heart dropped … in a good way.
So then I’m like “damn…I have a crush. Okay. It’s been a while…” so it was fun at first. I didn’t really know anything about my coworkers personal lives, so I didn’t know who was married or who was single..I just knew he was cute.
We continued to always walk past each other and flash a quick smile if convenient. Also attended some meetings together, one of them was where I found out he would be leaving the company in a month or so. And I was like “damn…”
Of course I looked up his Instagram. Private, but his picture was just of him alone. I’m not saying every single person I know has their significant other in their profile pic, but a majority do. So that led me to believe he was possibly single …
We literally did not talk at all this was a fully one sided crush lmao. Had probably 2 conversations and they were about work logistics. And some random small interactions like almost running into each other when turning a corner or general printecopy talk. We ate lunch at different times so I never saw him then either. The crush started getting annoying because I would always notice him or be on the lookout for him it was just causing me anxiety.
One day I noticed the company we work at posted short bios on each staff member. They were submitted 7 months before I looked at them. Many staff members put a photo of them w their significant other and children. Of course I scrolled to his and there’s a really pretty girl posed next to him! The sigh of relief I let out like okay has a girlfriend/wife thank god I can just admire him in peace.
But then I thought back to his insta profile picture..alone…what if they broke up? Then I was like ok this is insane.
Eventually as the crush grew I had it in my head that I should casually confess to him before he leaves work, through a note or something (lame ik …) but it wasn’t a real thought just the beginning of one. I’ve never told a crush I’ve liked them before, and the circumstances made this one feel pretty low stakes. Like who cares if you don’t like me back, we’re not gonna see each other on a daily basis anymore.
[TODAY]
Anyways his last day of work was today. And we talked more than we have had since I started working here….it was work related but more personal leaning. Turns out he’s moving out of state. It felt nice to talk to him, have his undivided attention on me…but then I realized that’s all I wanted. For him to look at me, talk to me, I just wanted to feel desired. So I did not confess, and left work feeling fulfilled due to that realization. Like … your crush is really JUST a person….don’t forget that.
God forbid I form a new crush though… they drive me insane.

Started talking to a girl off hinge. She's smart and funny and communicative and really pretty. But a week into talking to her, on the eve of our second date, I feel this creeping dread setting in.
I suddenly overwhelmingly feel like I am too fat, too ugly for her. Like I don't deserve her time or her gaze or her affection and care. I feel totally inadequate for her— like I won't be able to attend her needs or provide for her.
I feel like I'm underperforming at my new job, which is arguably my first "real job" that isn't just grunt work and involves doing complex and asynchronous tasks. I don't think I'm going a good enough job because I'm delayed on so much stuff. Plus I am falling so far behind on my personal projects it's beginning to spiral out of control.
And there's just this mounting horror in my soul that I'm not cut out for a love life— that I don't have the brains or the guts or the work ethic to sustain a real job and therefore a lover. That I'm not going to live up to be the incredible man that my dad is. And now it's 1 in the morning and I can't stop thinking about all this and I just want to throw up.

(Small note: This was originally slated for DnDGreentext before the sub got nuked, and therefore was originally in Greentext format. Had to do some serious reformatting to get it ready for this sub, so it's been sitting in my Drafts for a hot minute. If there are any errors/Format corrections that need to be made I'll get to it in a day or so as it's currently around Midnight)
Context: Friend of mine wanted to get into DMing, so she offers to run a one-shot. Being new to the system and to being a DM in general, not too many people show interest, so myself and my GF both decide to join for a grand total of four players. The setting is a Dino-themed island that's basically like Pokemon, where everyone has a dinosaur companion to help them do things. Stuff like a Police force that rides on Pterosaurs (Yes, I'm aware they're not technically dinosaurs, shut up) to farmers that have Triceratops to pull their plows, that sort of thing. DM asks for humans only, but I ask about playing a Warforged. She actually has an in-world explanation for how Warforged would be in the world, so she approves the idea. She also has her own ideas on how Magic works in the world, as it's not inherent, so nobody starts the game with spells. She also has each of us pick a dinosaur to have as a companion of sorts that will get introduced later in the story.
Enter That Girl and New Guy.
I'm playing a Warforged Artificer. That Girl (Warlock), New Guy (Rogue), and GF (Ranger) all meet up in Discord with the DM, and we're off. The session starts on a ship. Due to myself and GF's backstories, only That Girl and New Guy are present at the time. They're essentially mid-victorian era humans on a cruise when a storm begins to brew. New Guy looks around for one of the deckhands to ask what's going on and where the location of the life rafts are if need be. Pretty sensible. That Girl (who had never met this character before) suddenly appears next to him and starts berating the guy for asking about the lifeboats, "Because it would send people in a panic!"
New Guy is naturally confused, because there's a fucking storm brewing and people were probably already panicking regardless if he mentioned lifeboats or not. That Girl cuts him off both in and out of character (literally going "I put my hand in his face and make him stop talking") to continue chewing him out for no reason.
New Guy literally cannot get a word in as That Girl is harping on and on about "think of the people, you can't say those things!" This goes on for 15 actual minutes. Eventually the DM must've got tired of hearing this one-sided nonsense, so she just has the storm capsize the boat and the two players are lost at sea.
DM describes the water as cold and dark, starts to describe what they feel in response before That Girl immediately pipes up with "I cast light!"
DM: "1. Light requires verbal components, and you're underwater. You can't speak. 2. Magic isn't inherent to you, so you don't have access to it yet." The DM has them both wash up on the shore and awaken about an hour later. She then describes the beach and the things they can see. There's a jungle that's further in, and a strange green object lying on the beach. My character is green, so naturally I start looking over my sheet, getting my voice modifier ready, doing all the prep work for introduction.
DM describes the two of them finding a pair of glowing stones/crystals that emit some strange type of energy. DM also goes into painstaking detail that the green object reacts to the stones whenever they get brought close. New Guy tries to get his bearings, and That Girl starts arguing with him about his plan, and that they should *obviously* try to look for civilization (Which he was already planning on doing, but in order for that to happen you kinda have to already have an idea of where you are.)
Cue *Another* fifteen minutes of actual time spent ranting, all the time the two of them are walking past the green object over and over again. DM eventually just describes that they get close enough to object for it to animate slightly, and asks me to introduce myself. Immediately grab stone from one of them, pry open the top of my head, and insert it to fully power on. After *45 whole minutes of IRL time,* Player 3 enters the game.
Since I essentially wanted to make a robot with all kinds of integrated gadgets I rolled up an Armorer Artificer that was true neutral, since his entire gimmick was essentially going to be that he was super agreeable to pretty much anything that wasn't obviously self-destructive or outright evil. I describe myself powering up and looking over the other two, getting introductions all around. Finally, we might actually make some headway.
They ask me if I know anything about the weird crystals. I confirm my knowledge with the DM before letting them know that they're essentially power sources that were used in my character's home. (DM essentially told me that I was an Atlantian Strider and Atlantis was an advanced civilization before it sunk, and produced a bunch of crystals like the ones we were using. Actually pretty cool concept)
New Girl had cut her leg at some point during the storm, so my character heals her up, and explains that the crystals can exhibit strange powers when wielded by various creatures, which only made them more rare. (Dm confirmed they were essentially focuses that enabled spellcasting). Dm Describes sounds coming from the jungle, and That Girl starts vocally debating whether we should go in or not.
Before this can turn into *ANOTHER* fifteen minute rant, I say my character immediately starts walking into the jungle to find the noise, and New Guy decides to follow. That Girl follows along and the DM describes a large shadow in the distance. I try to walk closer, the DM describes the shadow moving away. This goes on for a few seconds or so before I just decide to cast Light, illuminating the area around me and revealing...
A T-Rex. That Girl immediately freaks, New Guy is intrigued, and I'm basically the only one that noticed a woman was riding it in a saddle. The woman introduces herself and tells us that it's usually rare for people to wash up on the shores, but not entirely unheard of. Decides to lead us to her caravan heading into the main city.
That Girl is immediately firing off questions, not even letting her get a word in before asking a new one. This goes on for some time before we eventually get led to a surplus wagon with spare equipment we can use.
We fall into the caravan and finally, FINALLY GF gets to introduce her character as she rides up to meet us... After an hour and a half of IRL time. Anyways, GF's character was native to the island and essentially worked as a caravan guard, and decided to join our odd group as a sort of Chaperone. My character is chumming it up with a few NPC's, looking over equipment, asking about their culture, that kind of thing. We eventually make it to the city where we register our characters to the city's ledger.
As we finish up, we hear a bunch of noise outside, kind of like a parade. We go to check it out and essentially see a guy on a palanquin being toted around by Dinosaurs, going on about how he's "Going to bring glory to the island by breaking through to the rest of the world." The Dm basically put a giant "This is the big bad" sign over his head.
That Girl asks what she knows about this guy (Which is probably the first time she's actually asked if she was capable of doing something instead of just loudly narrating that she does it). DM says that this guy was actually native to her home, so she knows *OF* him. Keyword being "OF." That Girl begins narrating how much she hates this guy and describes herself as "Accidentally" casting Sacred Flame on him.
Naturally this gets his attention, but he can't really pick out the perpetrator from the crowd. The DM was essentially throwing That Girl a bone, and you figured she'd get the hint but NOPE.avi. That Girl then describes herself as stepping out *INTO THE STREET* and loudly detesting the guy, describing herself as "Always knowing he was a coward, ever since they were kids!" Again, That Girl was told she had CURSORY KNOWLEDGE of this guy and she proceeds to try and make him an integral part of her character.
She tries to fight him, and basically only gets one Eldritch Blast off before he blasts her to the ground with Thunderwave and climbs back into the palanquin because this idiot wasn't worth his time. That Girl gets up and angrily tries to convince the people to rally against him. Naturally she put no proficiency into Persuasion or Deception, so the most she gets are a bunch of people staring at the crazy ranting girl firing off cthulu beams at people for no reason.
My character finally steps up and mentions that if the island was separated from the rest of the world, there was probably good reason for it to be that way. My background was Far Traveler so I had "All Eyes on Me" as a feature, which made people naturally more inclined to listen to me since I was a weird six-foot-one round robot. A few of them recognized me as an Atlantian Strider, which helped my words stick.
This was a common thing in this game, with That Girl loudly announcing that she was going to do something, fucking it up due to a fundamental misunderstanding as to how things worked, and my character picking up the slack and actually doing it. Small reminder: I had no idea what That Girl's character was going to be, her spell list, stat layout, none of it. My character just so happened to be better than her at pretty much everything. Never said it in-game, but silently I was actually enjoying getting to one-up her constant attention hogging.
So, naturally, after one of our members decided to attempt political assassination, we decided that it was best to camp out innawoods for the night. GF was our Ranger, so she was able to find a suitable spot for us. That Girl says she goes to start a fire with Sacred Flame, DM tells her that Sacred Flame isn't actually fire, but Radiance, so it wouldn't work. I immediately start an *actual* campfire using Fire bolt.
That Girl is sulking around, loudly proclaiming that she can't do anything, the remaining three of us do some RP. The DM admits that she's kind of at a loss for what to do, since she was expecting us to stay in the city, y'know, before That Girl tried to JFK the big bad. That's no problem, we'll just keep roleplaying while she thinks of how to continue the story.
That girl immediately wanders over to a cave and goes "I know! I walk over to this cave, and THIS THING walks out!" Before pulling out the token for her Dino companion and plopping it on the map. DM finally puts her foot down and says "No, that doesn't happen. I just Pmed you something, and need you to read it."
None of us knew what the DM sent to her, but we all figured it was something along the lines of "Quit hogging all the attention and trying to dictate the story. This is a group game." A few minutes later That Girl comes back and gives a halfhearted apology and explained that "She wasn't trying to hog all the attention or be the main character, she was just excited." Most of us don't really feel it's sincere but whatever, if the DM has a reign on her then let's get the ball rolling again. The DM then comes out and says that it's *My* Dino companion that comes out of the cave, a little Compsognathus. Immediately I'm bonded to this thing because it's adorable and it seems to get along nicely with me.
The new guy jokingly asks if I have a name for it, I reply "Not Yet." New Guy: "Not Yet? That's a funny name for a pet." And thus my companion was named NotYet, all one word.
The Dm sends us off to another region of the island that's full of canyons, mesas, cliffs, that sort've thing. It's where the Pterosaur Police are mainly stationed. Coincidentally, That Girl's companion was also a pterosaur. We're walking along one of the cliffs when New Guy mentions how far of a drop it is. He asks me if I know how far it actually goes down. I make an estimate of about 600 feet or so (It was actually closer to 700, but still) and he jokingly tells me I should jump down to make sure. I yeet myself over the edge, That Girl immediately tries to say "I stop him before he jumps! Can we go back in time? That didn't really happen, did it?" Girl, I weigh like 220 pounds of green steel and you weigh like 110 soaking wet. With a negative STR modifier to boot. If you try to stop me you're going over too.
I let the party freak out for a few more seconds before I cast Slow Fall and describe myself as activating tiny propulsion systems to slow my descent. I reach the bottom of the canyon, note that the actual distance is more like 700 meters, and look back up to them before I prepare to climb out with Spider Climb. Before I do, the DM basically has the Pterosaur police show up because they just watched a guy yeet himself into the canyon and wanted to make sure he was okay. They offer me a ride back up and I accept.
We eventually make it to the town of this region with a little cash to spend on things. I ask around to see if I can get a shield, DM explains that there usually isn't a lot of combat on the island, so shields were usually uncommon. No problem, I can work with what I have. That Girl immediately describes herself, and I quote, as "Buying a new set of clothes and walking out in a skin tight red and black flight suit."
You can't make this shit up.
We eventually make it to a Pterosaur gathering place, where those that would bond to them take part in a ritual. The whole "You don't choose your partner, they choose you" straight out of James Cameron's Avatar. That Girl is finally about to get her partner, and one of the NPC's essentially says "To bond with them is a leap of faith." So naturally, her first instinct is to jump off the cliff.
The DM is surprised but decides to roll with it, getting ready to describe her partner swooping in to save her, but after realizing that "Leap of Faith" was not literal, That Girl immediately changes her mind and begs for the DM to undo the last 12 seconds so she can just bond to them normally. Dm relents. That Girl is excitedly going on about her new mount/partner and fangirling so much that she misses the plot hook. Big bad had recently come through here and took a lot of the funding, mentioning that he was headed to another region.
New Guy gets his companion as we travel, a raptor, and GF already had hers, an Allosaurus which served as her mount. So we finally have the full party, companions included. We camp out for the night, the DM allows us to level up to Six. (We started at level 5) We make preparations to enter the next region, which was basically a heavy forest area. We pass through another small town, and I ask the DM if I couldn't *Buy* a shield, could I possibly make one from spare material? The Dm agrees, says there's enough scrap metal around for me to make something like a shield, so I roll my Smith's Tools. A nat 20 + Tool Expertise, + an INT modifier of 4 gives me a total of 30 on the check. The most flawless shield ever created by a living being, practically equal to God-quality is made by my funky metal man. Immediately infuse it with Repulsion Shield for that sweet extra AC (The DM handwaved the necessity to wait for a long rest to infuse it since it was a oneshot).
The party moves along into the forest region as we follow the next clue. As we're moving along, we hear someone crying for help. Look into a clearing and we see a man with a bloody leg lying on the ground. Nothing else is around him at all, which is just... strange. Guy like him would be easy meat in the middle of a Dino Jungle. A more obvious ambush could not be telegraphed.
The Ranger (GF) and Rogue (New Guy) were being cautious, trying to to see if there was any signs of the person or creature that attacked him, That Girl is loudly asking what they should be doing, and I just walk out into the middle of the clearing to cast Cure Wounds on the guy. That Girl, not to be outdone, immediately runs up next to me to do the same. She was running Celestial Warlock so she could've probably healed him from cover, but okay.
Immediately a T-rex charges at both of us. Spends one attack slashing at me with it's hind claws, which actually gets through my 20 AC. I immediately react to use Repulsion Shield, blasting it backwards, and the T-Rex decides to go for the much squishier target and crits the shit out of That Girl. It deals enough damage to nearly outright kill her. Obviously she's sent unconscious. I'm rolling my eyes and spend another spell slot to Cure Wounds her back up.
That Girl basically summons her mount (the same one she wouldn't stop fangirling over and exclaiming how useful and wonderful of a companion it was) and proceeds to use it like a meatshield while me and the other two members do all the work to drive it off. We manage to save the guy and he tells us that the wildlife has been acting strangely ever since Big Bad came through the region, get told that he's essentially headed back to the capital city.
We hitch a ride on a river raft that fast tracks us back to the capital, preparing to go to the city council to tell them that the bad guy was up to something. My GF goes into prepared speech about how much she loves her home and doesn't want to see it ravaged or cause harm by suddenly connecting it back to the rest of the world.
That Girl immediately launches into speech of her own that's twice as long and conveyed about a fourth as much information, basically repeats all the points that GF made, sometimes multiple. (I'm pretty sure she mentioned "grandstanding" at least five times. Ironic.) The DM eventually has to cut her off to point out that there's a skeleton in the room, literally. One of the Council members had essentially been instant-aged into a mummy. And That Girl had been ranting for about 5 straight minutes before noticing.
Granted, GF had done a speech too and was naturally a little embarrassed about going into a diatribe without checking the room first, but at least hers was concise. We learn that Big Bad had gone to the Town Square to do some Big Bad stuff, and we rolled up to stop him. Fight Begins, and That Girl immediately hops on her mount, flying around and blasting him from the air. I'm up front, tanking for my little companion, GF and New Guy are off to the sides picking at the minions, three T-Rexes that he had with him.
That Girl is essentially taunting Big bad that he can't hit her from up here, flying back and forth the whole time. The Big Bad is sick of her shit and casts Earthbind. That Girl goes from smarmy asshole to shitting her pants in about 0.2 seconds. Everyone else is stuck with a T-rex (Except me, because I managed to kill the one I was fighting but was too far away to help)
Big Bad starts blasting her and her mount, while she's desperately trying to find some way to cast more spells, use more actions, anything. She deadass asks at one point: "If I sacrifice all my movement and bonus actions can I take another action?" Never in my life have I wanted to play Fighter more than in that moment.
I eventually make my way over and start blasting with Fire Bolt. Big Bad takes notice and flings attacks my way. I avoid most of them, but one of them hits my partner. Up until this point, my character's signature catchphrase had been "Okay!" To basically anything. "Hey, jump off this cliff." "Okay!" "Can you heal me?" "Okay!" "Take the night watch." "Okay!" But now his partner was hurt. I Drop my voicemod by a few octaves.
"NOT. OKAY."
I Blast him with magic Missile. The fight between us breaks out on some Duel of the Fates type shit. Spells are being cast, weapons are being thrown, strategies being devised. Eventually, our group manages to consolidate and we manage to bring him down. He's not dead, but laid out on the floor.
We go through his shit, and loot his sword, which has a single Wish spell, which was inactive until it was joined with a second Mcguffin we had picked up. He also had an Elixir of Health on him, which was good for That Girl's backstory, since the reason she was on the cruise at all was to see if she could find a cure for her sister's unknown disease. Somehow, this isn't enough for That Girl. She wants to cast some homebrew spell that makes him reveal an embarrassing secret so she can spread it to the world or whatever. Most of us had checked out of her shenanigans at this point and were just trying to finish the game.
The DM actually decides to roll with it, and instead of an embarrassing secret, she decides to tell us his backstory. Essentially this guy was getting Benjamin Buttoned. At some point in his life, he was cursed to begin aging backwards, and essentially had to Time Vampire other people to sustain himself. He watched his original family die, same with others he'd gained throughout his unnatural lifespan. More than anything, he just wanted his suffering to be over.
So my friendly, true neutral Warforged, in a somber voice, simply replies: "Okay..."
I firebolt him three times, basically turning him into a solo funeral pyre. The characters all bow their heads in silence. Seems like That Girl finally got a grasp on how to- "WAIT WAIT I WAS MUTED GUYS GO BACK GO BACK DON'T KILL HIM!"
Goddamnit.
We go back and she loudly goes over how she's taking the Elixir of Health and offering it to him for... some reason? She's literally been beefing with this guy the whole game and suddenly she wants to forsake her sister to save him? I start to point out that diseases and curses are different and she cuts me off, going "LET ME FINISH!"
I think *long* and *hard* about whether I should be an asshole and just letting her waste it on him, but against my better judgement, I decide, once again, to tell her that using it on him would be a waste, since a Curse is not the same thing as a Disease.
Eventually we combine the sword and the Mcguffin to cast Wish and open a portal for That Girl and New Guy to go home. She offers a letter to GF and narrates that GF opens and reads it. GF has none of that and says she doesn't read it and haphazardly waves her off through the portal. The DM has a short epilogue where That Girl travels back with her now-cured sister.
That Girl starts to go onto another speech about how amazing this place was and how she was such wonderful friends with us. I cut her off, simply saying "I barely know you. And I like (Gf's character) better." The session ends, and we talk about the highs and lows.
We tell DM our honest opinion about her style, essentially saying that for a one-shot especially, don't be afraid to nudge your players, because sometimes it's hard to pick a direction and go.
We tell That Girl *gently* that she needs to realize this is a team game, and that she's not *THE* main character. Insert sputtering about "W-well my friend is a DM and I hang out with him often and I guess since I couldn't really *pick a direction* (Yeah, she used my exact words here, which came damn close to setting me off since she was clearly pulling this explanation out her ass) I just kind of tried to control the story so we could move again." I *very firmly* tell her that controlling the story isn't her job, and to leave that to the DM.
A few weeks later in another group chat, I vented about the session and everyone confirmed that she single-handedly was the biggest problem with that game in particular. I learned from other friends that this isn't her first time pulling this shit either. All of us silently agreed to not invite her back

The question speaks for itself. My marriage has been circling the drain for a long time. Since before I met the someone else in this equation. Many, many factors have contributed to this; points I don't want to belabor (I have posted on this forum about those issues before under my regular account). As a basic overview, he has some poorly managed chronic health issues that have contributed to serious breakdowns in our marriage, coupled with intense strain between myself and his parents (in part) over safety issues regarding our child. I currently sleep in a separate room because one of his unaddressed health problems effected my sleep so much that I thought I was developing an autoimmune condition.
And yes, I have tried, and tried, and tried to voice my frustration and dismay at how he half-assedly takes any responsibility for his own well-being. Back when the strain and frustration between him, me, and his parents was at its worst, we discussed marriage therapy. He agreed, but wanted to see if we could find someone on his insurance. Months went by, and even after I cried on more than one occasion asking him if he'd made progress, nothing happened. I realized it was never going to happen unless I did the work, and I was sick of being the one putting in more effort. So we never got the therapy. That was 18 months ago.
Suffice it to say, lately I have been so done that the idea of countenancing the future with my spouse that the very idea creates a pit in my stomach. While I thought I could hold resolve to hold out until my child graduates high school in 13 years, the idea of remaining that long has taken a profound toll on my mental health. I'm not attracted to him and emotionally detached because I'm sick of being disappointed by his failure to follow-through. If we didn't have a child whose security I value above all else, I'd have left. I'm a child of divorce, and my upbringing was not great in a lot of respects. More than anything, I want my child to have a better life than I had. We live in a HCOL area that I love, own a house, but otherwise don't have any assets (including bank account) merged. I make a just north of $120K/year and work for the government, but have student loans and a new car, among other expenses. Child will go to public school. If alone, I could probably hack it, but it will definitely be an adjustment. I am unsure of how cooperative or amenable my child's father will be to any idea of a parenting plan; part of the reason I have held on so long is I dread the idea of going against his parents in a custody battle.
The "someone else" is a coworker. It started innocuously, as I'm sure it does for a lot of folks, and then when I realized we were crossing into "emotional affair" territory I kind of didn't care. I didn't expect the dynamic to develop any further than that because he has been voicing a plan to move across the country, and he lives with a girlfriend. I've always tried to respect that boundary--at least never letting him know just what I have been feeling for him. But I guess he sensed how to get behind the walls, because he shared that he has feelings for me too, and now he's possibly willing to shift course and stay around here. And maybe break up with the girlfriend...who is also one of our coworkers. We had a long, heartfelt discussion about our attraction to each other, although nothing was decided as far as our respective relationships. I think we're both cautious people.
The whole conversation and days since then have really jolted me into an emotional rollercoaster after being really emotionally shut down for a long time.
I want to be clear, I didn't just meet this guy, we've worked together for nearly 18 months (around the time things were at the nadir between husband and me), but we only started to get close in the last six or so months. We have a lot of commonalities (raised in same religion, same general region of the country, similar interests and have funny/interesting conversations), and I suppose the big thing for me is he shares stuff about himself with me and asks me about myself--a dynamic that has never been strong between myself and my husband, who is usually very emotionally closed off.
I have been wanting to leave the marriage for a long time, and more or less have been planning to long-term. But that was always picturing just going it alone with my son, and the idea of that has been hard to swallow, because of the potential impact on his happiness and well-being. I've worked hard to convince myself that nobody will want a late 30's/early 40's single mom, even though I know blended families are abundant. On a recent trip to our home state, I shared with some close friends and my older brotheSIL the degree of unhappiness I've felt for a while, so it's not like a secret to people who know me.
I'm trying to envision an exit plan that doesn't necessarily hinge on the someone else. I respect he might move forward with his other options. But that conversation really woke me up to what it could be like to have an actual relationship with a person I feel connected and attracted to. I just don't believe it will ever happen again with my husband, and with as much as he's pushed me away and disregarded my own thoughts and feelings, I don't have motivation to try anymore. But I want the best for my son. I don't know what to do.

I've made it to the final boss and I've been trying for weeks multiple different stats and strats watching every video I can find I've been thinking about getting Xbox live just so I can get some online help . I get halfway through elden beast then normally I'm dead or my black knife tiche is dead. Id love some pointers or help if possible thank you so much!

For the past couple of months, I have been completely disoriented with regards to my career choice and college major. For some background info: - Rising senior working on college apps -1530 SAT; love math, chem, phys, and bio All my life, I had the set goal of becoming a doctor. I intended to follow the steps of my father who became a dermatologist. So in my first two years of high school, I worked on projects involving solutions to medical problems. But this year (maybe for the better), I got really interested in tech. To be more specific, I came to love coding and other tech-related fields such as computer engineering. I started working and creating a lot of tech projects (even winning a tech-related competition). So now, my entire resume is overloaded with tech stuff such as created apps, but a noticeable portion still has medical stuff in it. The reason I am mentioning this is because I need this for my college applications, and colleges want to see you pursuing your passion. Thats the context, so now here is my dilemma: I know I want to do CS major in college no matter what, but do I pursue medical school afterward and keep CS as my premed? Or do I just go into the tech industry? Equals: Although usually the opposite, I think that salary will be pretty equal (or even better for CS) because I intend to work on multiple side hustles such as building apps and other ways of generating income (I proved this by generating myself some money with my projects). Med Pros: -- Get to save lives: no elaboration needed. Just imagine that feeling of fulfillment. -- I have guidance from my father -- I'm good at bio and Chem (I took organic chem in highschool), so MCAT might be easy -- Stability with salary (might be the biggest pro) -- Can work on CS side hustles after done with medical education Med Cons: -- Long Long schooling time (do I really want to do 8+ more years after under grad?) -- Student debt Tech pros: -- can finish school debt-free or low debt -- Only 4 years needed -- more time to work on side hustles Tech cons: -- hard to find stable jobs -- jobs hard to find unless you go to T10 colleges -- side hustle might not work I would like your help. I think this decision will be a life-changing one, and I am trying to make the best one with proper guidance.
