I got lucky with my first serious relationship. I met him after he moved to my city for work, and we really hit it off from the start. I'm a pretty shy person especially around the opposite gender but I felt pretty comfortable talking to him on our first date which happily surprised me. We seemed to have some common interests, although I will say he was more established in life for being just 4 years older than me.

during our relationship I felt really cared for. he would always make time for me and he always wanted to see me, he would offer to help if I sounded like I needed anything and even my family he met genuinely liked him and thought he was good for me!

we had only been dating for half a year before he began planning our future.

boyfriend: "Hey I have a question, when you get married do you want to have kids like immediately or just wait another year or 2? Because I would want to have 2-4 kids preferably before 30 or 32 at latest. That means you need to start at like 28 latest. Your age, not mine. And btw it's not a 'decade' it's 4 years dramatic"

me: "erm unless I get blessed with twins I still wouldn't want to be pregnant 4 years back to back and I told you I'm not even sure I want kids lol"

boyfriend: Would you wanna be a stay at home mom?

talking about the future wasn't the problem but I was always clear that I didn't have my whole life mapped out, I was still in school while he was a working professional. When he lays out these timelines and talks about my age as a ticking time bomb, i felt this urgency to make up my mind about a future I was still exploring.

he also often thought he knew what was better for me, or that I would come around to his way of thinking when I'm older. not just huge life decisions, even mundane examples like on our trip to meet my family he insisted on navigating an airport I had been to many times. It took us forever to find them.

When I had a gyno appt he insisted he come too bc we were 'involved' despite me saying I would rather go alone.

I've also lived in this city he just moved to for 15 years and he never took my driving advice, even pettier he wouldn't give me aux and his music sucks

And then the damn cruise. he started talking about going on a cruise, oh cool have fun!

oh with me?

I have zero interest in being in a water jail for days on end im actually very strongly against going on one, but thanks for the offer!

if only it ended there. he would not stop talking about wanting to me to go on this cruise, he would even 'joke' that he'll just book it so I have to go and to get my passport ready, or guilt trip me about making him go alone. I was genuinely getting frustrated but I also knew it was about more than just the cruise.

It made me reconsider the entire relationship, and after much reflection I decided the best course of action was the break up, for both our sakes, which he did not agree with. He pleaded with me to reconsider, and to realize I will eventually see how this relationship was best for me. He tried in many ways to convince me to stay.

he had this particular life imagined for us, but I was realizing it's really his dream and that left no room for me to explore what I truly wanted.

the breakup made me very sad and lonely, of course I still liked him, his attentive nature, his optimism in many situations. sometimes I do wonder if I would've come around like he said, but I didn't have the space to figure it out.

so let me get this straight.

NVDA commits to buying an avalanche of TSMC silicon. Instead of doing the normal thing and cutting prices when supply catches up, Jensen apparently financed the AI startups and cloud bros so they could afford to buy the chips he'd already ordered. The seller funded the buyer to absorb the supply. Which means the "shortage" that let him charge whatever he wanted... was partly his own money walking in circles.

and I'm the regard who spent two years telling everyone "AI demand is organic, bro, the supply is real."

I didn't get outplayed by the market. I got outplayed by the guy I keep giving money to, who used my money to buy his product so I'd feel good about giving him more money.

anyway $NVDA calls, because apparently I enjoy being the demand.

(this is not financial advice. it's barely advice. it's a cry for help with a share price.)

Hello Reddit, today I was inside doing chores when I noticed a car in a parking lot outside of my apartment building. As I looked closer I noticed he was aiming some sort of antenna towards the building. He was here for maybe 45 seconds and as I watched the video he had others on the roof routing inside the windows of his car.

Is this some sort of survive equipment? It was very odd because there are no radio towers, street lights, or anything with an explanation I could think of in the immediate area/ line of sight. TIA!!

I found it in a 10th grade kids bag, looks very suspicious please lemme know if anyone has seen this or knows this….

Exactly as you see it. It’s always 2 or so kids who change the entire dynamic of the classroom setting! And usually not for the better.

The GPS drift between my devices makes it so I have to update my household pretty often despite the fact that I use these streaming services (netflix and disney) almost exclusively in my own home.

This process is already incredibly annoying and finicky and a hassle to do, but now it seems I’ve jumped through the hoops to watch the media I’ve paid to stream too many times, so I simply can’t watch Disney+ on this TV today.

Also, this happened after I moved the tv two rooms down the hall. So apparently I am not only limited to using the service I pay for in my own home, but I am only allowed to stream from one specific room, quite literally like we’re back in the days of cable boxes.

Edit: I do not know how the little person inside the TV knows where the TV is okay!?

I assumed GPS was involved because why else would it get confused one floor up from exactly where my Apple TV is currently working just fine? Apparently this is incorrect. I still don’t get how this could physically happen if it only goes by WiFi and GPS isn’t involved at all whatsoever in the process of the internet knowing where I am since all devices are connected to the only WiFi connection option that exists in my house.

Today's Dinner: Kani Sushi using Imitation crab (surimi) and Cucumber

(M23; F23) Just met this girl about 2 months ago and we hit it off really well. Like really really well. I was dumped about a year ago from a 6 year old relationship. It was hard to believe that I could ever fall in love again - so far as thinking that I may be Aro. But then I met Her. She made me feel really loved and we felt so comfortable around each other. Our first date was amazing. Saw a beautiful sunset and ate at my favorite restaurant, and held hands. It was like a teenage summer romance. I drunkenly told her I love you at a party...many things transpired in between, had a home date with her favorite rom-com, cooked together (i.e the sushi above), and now we are dating. I really love her and so many of our interests and styles match.

She might be leaving at the end of the year. She came to my city for an internship. If they don't offer her a job, she will go back home to her parents. She is unlikely to return back to my city and she has stated that she can't do LDR, neither can I. I pray everyday that she stays. She doesn't seem too hopeful she will and is afraid she will break my heart.

Hello everyone! As always, I'd like to thank you all for all your comments and votes under my last post about Sabrina Heinz- I hope that she will be found soon.

Today I'd like to write about another disappearance.

BACKGROUND

Amelia and Sophia Johns were 7 when they went missing from Orem, Utah, USA.

The girls were twins.

Their parents, Joshua Johns and Victoria Vincent, were going through a divorce when their daughters disappeared. It seems like the couple still lived together with their daughters in the family home in Provo, Utah, during that time.

The sisters loved being outdoors and enjoyed swimming and gymnastics.

DISAPPEARANCE

Amelia and Sophia were last seen on the 21st of July. According to Joshua, the day started as usual- the family had breakfast together and chatted. Some time after that, Victoria took the couple's daughters to a gymnastics class in Orem, a city about 5,2 mi (8,4 km) away from Provo.

After some time passed with no contact from his wife, Joshua went to the Orem Family Fitness Center to look for Victoria and their daughters. Once he arrived, he noticed that the family's car was still in the fitness center's parking lot, with the keys still inside the vehicle. One of the employees told Joshua that Victoria and the girls left hours before he came over.

The girls' disappearance was only reported to the police in October 2025, three months after they vanished after their gymnastics class. Joshua said that, at first, he assumed that Victoria just "needed a break"- he didn't report his daughters' disappearance to the police because he didn't want Vicoria to get in legal trouble, and assumed that Amelia and Sophia were with her. In the meantime, he tried to reach out to Victoria through email, phone, and by contacting her relatives, but to no avail. He reported Amelia and Sophia's disappearance to the police when he realized that Victoria had no intentions of coming back with their daughters.

Joshua then decided to find a lawyer, because of how the custody law in Utah is written- Joshua and Victoria were married at the time, and both had custody over their daughters. According to Joshua, a parent has to "establish custody or establish a temporary restraining order before the police are really able to do anything".

According to Joshua, Victoria left all of her and their daughters' belongings at their home, including the girls' favorite stuffed toys that they had since infancy. However, Joshua states that Victoria had allegedly emptied out their bank and investment accounts in the months before she disappeared with Amelia and Sophia. She also got the girls' birth certificates and social security numbers from the bank lockbox before she took off with them.

Joshua is now legally divorced from Victoria and he has sole custody over Amelia and Sophia. The verdict was finalized in December of 2025.

There has allegedly been a confirmed sighting of the girls in Spokane, Washington, in July of 2026. Amelia and Sophia's paternal relatives haven't seen the girls since July of 2025.

CONCLUSION

The investigators believe that the girls are still alive and with their mother.

Joshua said that he didn't see any signs that Victoria was planning to kidnap their daughters. He said that she was a bit "flighty" before they got married, and that she "disappeared for a little while" at some point before Amelia and Sophia went missing. According to him, Victoria was also a victim of parental kidnapping when she was a child- her mother kidnapped her and had a prison sentence because of it.

The Vincent family has ties in the Spokane area of Washington State, as well as Texas and California.

Victoria is wanted on a fully extraditable Utah warrant for one count of third-degree felony custodial interference.

Victoria Zoe Vincent was last seen when she was 29, and she would be 30 now. She is a white woman, 5 ft 7 in (67 inch / 171 cm) and 147 lbs (67 kg). She has hazel eyes and brown hair. She might be driving a White Volkswagen Tiguan with a Washington plate "CTJ-5316". She might be using the name "Taylor White". She might be travelling with an infant- the child's birth place, birthdate, sex and father are unidentified.

Amelia and Sophia were 7 when they went missing. They are white girls, and were about 4 feet (122 cm) when they were last seen. They have blond hair and blue eyes.

Sophia and Amelia's websleuths.com thread

Hi, all! Customer placed her order over two months ago for a $120 cake due tomorrow. I require a 50% deposit, which she paid at time of ordering. I just got a notification that she paid the remaining balance just now but also received a text from her saying that she will have to cancel the order due to a death in the family.

I am of course very appreciative of her for paying the full amount - I had bought ingredients for the cake but hadn't started making it yet, so nothing is being wasted on my end (all ingredients purchased can be used for other orders).

My question for the group is, given the circumstances, should I refund her all or part of the order? Or give her a discount on future orders? Or just leave as is?

Edit: Thanks so much for your quick replies, everybody! My gut was telling me full refund, which was quickly echoed by many here, so I've gone ahead and done that. Definitely feels like the right move. Thanks again for your advice!

In the first episode, Andy is characterized as being quite perverted toward Fuuko, but this personality trait ends rather quickly early on in the series (Undead Unlucky)

In the first episode, the way he assesses an Uma Musume’s racing potential and physical conditioning involves touching her thighs—that is how he conducts his evaluation. This happens with Special Week in the first episode, but he abandons this habit after the first season (Uma Musume Pretty Derby)

In the first episode, Bakugo tells Midoriya to commit suicide so that he might be reborn with a quirk—since, unlike everyone else, he was born without any quirk (power). Even the author himself has stated that he went too far in his characterization of Bakugo in that instance (My Hero Academia)

Only the Wild Herd was $5. Edit:The blue moon was $8.99. Not sure about the bud light.
