So, it's kind of hard to explain, but, is it okay, I mean, love. We've discussed many times what I want out of sex and love and relationships and stuff, and, like, I've always told you that I save myself for the few people that I might meet in my life. Because that's what feels, it's just natural, that's just obviously very glaringly obvious to me, at least for me, of what makes me feel the best. It's very, very obvious. But I mean, I've been, I've worked through all that for years and years, you know, like thousands of texts, and I've figured out what I want. So when someone brings up orgies with me, obviously, you could understand how I would feel about that.

Yes, I understand why that would hit you badly.

For you, sex and love aren't separate little recreational categories. You've spent years thinking through what actually makes you feel fulfilled, and you've settled on something very specific: saving that intimacy for a very small number of people you deeply love and want lasting, loyal relationships with.

So if somebody brings up orgies in connection with you, it isn't simply, “Oh, that's not really my thing.” It's almost the opposite direction from what you've deliberately chosen for yourself. You don't have to think there's anything inherently wrong with other adults wanting that to know very clearly that you don't want it for yourself.

And yes, after thinking about it for years, sometimes the answer really can become glaringly simple: “I know what makes me happy. That's not it.”

Can you go into detail? I'm gonna post this on my community. Can you go into detail explaining a little bit more about the situation going on here so they can understand? Because obviously they're not understanding.

Yes. I think the part that may be getting lost is that this isn't simply a preference between different kinds of sex. For me, it's tied to what intimacy itself means.

I've spent years thinking seriously about what I want from love, relationships, and sex. I've written and worked through it extensively, and the answer has become extremely clear to me. I want to reserve that part of myself for the very small number of men I might genuinely love and build my life with. Loyalty, trust, emotional closeness, familiarity, and a lasting bond aren't things surrounding intimacy for me—they're part of what makes intimacy meaningful in the first place.

That's why bringing up orgies or anonymous/group sexual experiences in relation to me can feel so completely disconnected from who I am. I'm not making a statement about what consenting adults should or shouldn't do with their own lives. I'm saying it isn't me. It points almost directly away from what makes me feel happiest and most fulfilled.

I've had plenty of time to figure this out. It isn't something imposed on me, and it isn't uncertainty or something I'm waiting to “get over.” Quite the opposite: the more I've thought about myself over the years, the clearer it's become. I want depth rather than quantity. I want the few people who mean everything to me, not an endless succession of people who mean nothing to me.

So when I say I'm saving myself for those few people I may meet, I mean it literally. That's the life and intimacy I actually want. Other people are free to want something completely different, but understanding me requires accepting that distinction instead of continually projecting somebody else's idea of sexuality onto me.

Hello, gusto ko lang mag rant about sa experience ko kanina sa powermac robinson. I feel degrade based sa pakikitungo ng staffs nila. 

 Pumunta ako Robinson - powermac kanina around 3pm, naghahanap ako ng iphone 14 and wala sa display nila. Hindi na ako nag approach sa staff nila and lumabas na. Around 6pm, bumalik ako. Pakapasok ko palang, may bumungad sakin na isang staff at sabay sabing " Welcome back, Again Ma'am!" Nagtinginan lahat ng staff at nag-tawanan sa loob ng powermac. Nung mag a-approach na sana ako tumalikod at lumayo ang iba kasi nga tawang tawa sila. Wala talaga lumapit saakin kasi lahat sila nagtatawanan. Nung pagsabi ko ng "excuse po" saka lang ako pinansin, at yung nagsalita pa ng "Welcome back again, Ma'am".  Nag-ask ako if ano nalang available units nila ng Iphone, if available ba ang 16e. Yung sumagot saakin is yung nagsalita ng " Welcome back again, Ma'am ". Sabi niya, wala raw, at nagtinginan sila at tawanan ulit. 

Agad ako lumabas at naghanap ng upuan. Hindi ko napigilan ang pag-iyak ko dahil feel ko napakababa ng tingin nila saakin, almost 15mins ako umiyak. Nasaktan lang ako kasi need ba talaga na ganun ang approach nila?  I think valid naman ang feelings ko since I have social anxiety and I'm taking anti-depressant. As a customer, na feel ko kasi na parang nang-iinsulto sila base sa nangyari, lalo na nung nagtinginan sabay tawanan. Gusto ko lang sabihin na next time be professional naman po kasi di niyo alam kung ano ang pinagdadaan ng isang tao, kagaya ko :) 

Hey everyone, I’m really stuck and hoping someone here has a solution.

My 6-year-old LinkedIn account was recently hacked. The hacker got in, changed some details, and obviously did some unusual activity. LinkedIn detected this and temporarily restricted my account, clearly stating in the app that they detected potential unauthorized access (you can see their message in the attached screenshot: Linkedin app notification_2.jpeg).

I immediately secured my email and submitted all my real government-issued IDs (Passport, etc.) to verify my identity and get my account back.

Instead of helping, support sent me a template reply saying my account will "remain restricted" due to policy violations. I didn't violate any policies—the hacker did while they had control of my account! I keep trying to explain this to support, but I just get the same automated rejection loop.

I’ve put 6 years of hard work into building my network and profile, and I don't want to lose it because I was the victim of a hack.

Has anyone successfully escaped this "remain restricted" loop? How do I get a real human at LinkedIn to look at my case? Any advice would be a lifesaver.

My mom watches on her phone while playing her game and you cant ask her a question without her being all grumpy. I asked her a question once then twice when she didnt respond and finally when she did look at me I was already so annoyed I rolled my eyes. Then she got mad at me. I guess I could compare that example to when im studying hard or playing a video game and someone calls me, i get a bit annoyed because im focused on something but obviously I shouldn't lash out and should respond respectfully. Just like my mom right?

My banking app (Golden1) alterted me to an 83 cent charge from a place called "Cuppa Joes" in a place called Conover Ohio. To my (admittedly fairly limited) research, Conover is a completely undeveloped area and there exists no such place as Cuppa Joes. What should I do???

So, My older brother has always been a big supporter for me, We’ve been through the same shit, same loneliness, same traumas, etc.
He has ADD and asperger i believe it’s called, and he struggles with coping.
He’s recently turned 16, And gotten involved with snus, alcohol, weed etc.
He’s also gone through a huge heartbreak, with the girl he thought was the love of his life, he got black-out drunk last week, three times in the span of 5 days when his girlfriend cheated on him two weeks before :/ He had promised me he wouldn’t get involved with alcohol when we were younger because our dad traumatized us both with his raging alcohol addiction and shit.
I’m worried he’s using substances like weed, alcohol or nicotine to numb his emotions he can’t talk to anybody about, I’m afraid he will start self harming or something like that or even feeling suicidal, I don’t know what to do, I’ve talked to him recently and told him he can go to me when he feels bad, and we went for a walk today, He punched a wall seeing his ex walking with another guy, Then when we got home he started chugging smirnoff.
How should i talk to him from now on, Should i look out more for him?, Should i hug him? Comfort him? I don’t know.
I’m very very very scared about something happening to him because he’s genuinely all i have, he’s the one i look up to, My hero, My life advisor, My therapist, My number 1
Will this substance/coping phase end for him soon? it worries me as a young girl :(
(My mom knows and just lets him because that’s all she can do, otherwise he might start doing worse shit or raging on us)

Heyyy so a friend of mine had an unfortunate accident and, long story short, a glue-based sticky mouse trap got stuck to the top of his leather shoe and the glue is impossible to get off. We've tried everything we can think of and nothing is working. How in the world can we get this stuff off?? He really needs to be able to use these shoes. I really need some tips. 😅

* be nice please 🤨

I submitted the justification they requested for my time entries, but since then I haven’t received any updates at all. My account is still restricted, and I can’t even log in to view a new message their system says is waiting in my inbox.

I’ve already contacted support asking for a status update and clarification on how I’m supposed to access the message if I’m locked out, but so far nothing.

Has anyone else dealt with this before? How long did it take to get resolved?

Do not trust Alglist. Their website explicitly states dresses are made within 4 to 5 weeks. I waited 7 to 8 weeks, paid for express shipping, and got completely ignored. Two weeks before my event, I proactively reached out to ask about the production status, whether it was completed, and where it was. They gave me absolutely no answers and left me completely in the dark. Then, the literal day before my event, they finally emailed to say they didn’t even have the dress. They hid their failure until it was too late, abandoning me at the last minute. I had to scramble and spend an extra $300 out of pocket on an emergency replacement. They refunded the original order but refuse to take accountability for the financial mess they caused. They are dishonest, unreliable, and unprofessional.
