A few sources have said Coinbase now tracks where the crypto is sent following it in the chain for weeks and if it gets involved in any flagged areas or suspicious activity they can put a hold or close your account. Some users report weeks after a purchase coinbase tracked the currency to a suspicious wallet and locked the account 3 weeks after the product was bought. the warning is as follows
​
"several users have reported that their accounts have been frozen for sending crypto to us. Because Coinbase is a USA-based centralized exchange, they employ blockchain analytics (e.g. analysisit ) to find out where you've sent your coin, and also to track what happens with it long after you've spent it. Coinbase may freeze an account immediately upon sending to a 'suspicious' address, OR, they may freeze accounts retroactively if said account sends to a non-suspicious address that becomes. Alternatively suspicious weeks later as determined by chain analysis.
Alternatives:

• Cash App: https://cash.app This is probably the easiest for USA customers.
• Self-custody and Decentralized services: https://kycnot.me/ If you're ready to jump down the rabbit hole, hardware wallet in hand, there are a plethora of decentralized services that grant you full custody of your crypto.

WARNING: NOT YOUR KEYS, NOT YOUR CRYPTO!
I was in the game when coinbase wasn't big and useful. The entire point of blockchain is anonymity and no big bank bullshit.
Is cashapp crypto not attached with any software to track your cryptoit's after its been sent? I want to set up as anonymous of a wallet as I can to be the intermediary between buying the crypto, it going into a wallet that scrubs and it makes it untraceable, and then setting from that wallet to my stores.
​
Coinbase makes your ID verified with a driver's license to make a purchase, and it goes to the store. so the anonymous big bank free crypto that once was is now data tracked purchases with Drivers'license's licenses attached to it.
​
well, setup? not looking for cold storage, just a place to buy crypto that's not infected with tracking stuff, to an anonymous wallet that can scrub and clean and ensure it's 100% good to go, then use it to send it to my stores. I don't want a paper trail at all that can link my bitcoin to my identity.itbill

Introduction

Well hello there! (General Kenobi!). I'm Snoky also known as you'll find out when we get to know eachother
I’m a 25 year old English/Norwegian guy from the U of K! I currently work in the IT Sector within the Local Government and my god I forgot how hectic the public sector was after i left it roughly 4 years ago. I did indeed have quite a shock coming back 😅
​

Apperance

I'm on the bigger side but am looking to get that changed with some help due to i'm not very happy with the way thing's are currently. Minus that I'm 6'1/6'2, depends on which doctor you ask! I have short-ish hair dark blonde hair? I think? I'm not very good with colors so you'll have to tell me whenever we decide to exchange pictures.
Which i will be more than happy to exchange later on once we get to know eachother!
​

Main Intrests/Hobbies

My main interests are either playing games with some friends on the PC, studying for future certifications and mainly what I do after work just kicking back and watching whatever random things I can find on YouTube (I aren’t a big TV person). I used to watch a lot of anime but I tend to drop out of it for a year and then I get back in to it then I lose interest again heh, it’s just a thing that I’ve been doing for years on end.
I am somewhat in to movies but I haven’t really properly watched any within the last year or so but if I was to give a rough genre, I’d say dark-ish movies with a grabbing story i.e. DC films and a here and there Marvel film (IW ftw!) I much more prefer it when the bad guy gets the upper hand and basically wins as close to that of Thanos basically.
My main music choices? Everywhere and everything. If my ears like it, then chances are I’ll most likely like it. I’d write down all the artists I follow right now but trust me it’d take too long to go over so it’d probs better to just share my Spotify playlist lmao. But to give a quick sum up I’d say its more around mixed genre, alt-rock basically.
I do also write my own stuff as well, but again like anime I do it for like 6 months then stop, then start a year later so eh it’s a pretty hit and miss hobby for me 😅
​

Future Prospects?

As mentioned in my apperance section i'm in the process of trying to get fit with weight loss as I’m not very happy with how I am at the moment especially when it comes to health after a incident a few years ago but that’s neither here nor the future as I’m looking to change it with the help of the NHS and people around me. I'd be more than happy to join forces together with someone who's trying to do the same thing!
I currently own my own company which is currently under going some development but hasn't actually started as of yet (still looking in that area) but it will get there at somepoint!
Alongside my own company I’m also undergoing a project with a close friend of mine that we’re trying to pursue which is actually happening alongside the org itself so it's all looping togetherslowly but surely.
​

What am i looking for?

I'm looking for someone who's intrested in getting to know eachother, someone who's got my back and i've got theres, someone i can well essentially "grow" with and get to know, someone who's willing to put the effort in to get to know me and vice versa.I'd like said person to be able to hold a convoersation with me as i've been in too many instances where it's all been one sided convos with me basically putting in more effort than the other person but alas that's neither here nor there and hopfully I'll maybe find the person who would share that equal effort with me. And trust me I've been ghosted loads of times to the point it's like "bruh, just why?" but anyway!
I'm open to long distant's so long as there's a goal to meet eachother in the somewhat near future!
​

The End?

If you've made it this far after this somewhat long post then i must congradulate you!
I now have a small question for you to send me the answer too when you message me.
On what date and or month was a i born? I was born on the month of a certain red birthstone on a international memorial day
p.s, if you don't get it it doesn't matter it's worth a try regardless
Small partial note; If your going to time waste and just ghost me please don't bother messaging me as i'm only intrested in getting to know actual serious people...and please be able to hold a convosation with me and vice versa!

I suspect I may have trich,(I have an appointment to get tested) 2 years ago I was very sexually active but generally didn’t have any issues. A negative sti panel came back after I was done with that period of my life. I was in a committed relationship for nearly a year and started to experience lots of yeast infections and BV after having my iud inserted and also after some intimate nature moments I will mention later.
I don’t want to debate my ex partner’s fidelity because I realize that’s the most likely explanation whether I like it or not. I have ADHD and my brain will not let this go, it has been on my mind all week.
I will treat for the yeast and bv and the problem will come back days later( even now that I am not sexually active). Aside from sexual intercourse I have read that trich can be contracted in pools, sharing wet towels, toilet seats ( questionable on the toilet seats honestly) I have no reason to believe my partner had been cheating, he was a Fantastic partner and we had a really great connection but honestly we’re not together and don’t talk so I’m not 100% ruling it out.
My question is, that I can’t seem to find the answer to, is where do these little parasites come from? Are they born in the body some how? Are they found in the wild and you unknowingly pick them up and spread them to others?
I’ve never been able to wrap my head around the idea that these things just appear out of nowhere one day and patient zero is impossible and you can “only get it from intercourse”. It’s a parasite it had to come from somewhere!
Does anyone have an answer that I can wrap my head around?
I have a few examples of getting quite intimate with nature and I want to believe that what the cause of this is. For example swimming in a giant mud puddle ( which I got one hell of a yeast infection from that I treated myself at home), swimming in lakes and rivers, having sex outside. I also have pets and as much as I’d like to say they’re clean they jump out of the litter box and run all over my furniture ( literally as I’m writing this my new kitten ran straight from the litter box and jumped into the bath tub, jokes on me for thinking I could enjoy a bath with the door open), and come in from the muddy outside and run around my house getting their filth on everything, those explanations would make sense to me things would make sense to me, like this parasite is in nature but you can contract it and pass it around. The idea that a parasite just pops out of nowhere in your genitals for no apparent reason and you pass it around doesn’t make sense to me.
I have googled this for hours and I’m not finding an origin story for these nasty creatures.
TL;DR - where the heck does the trichomoniasis parasite originate? My brain cannot accept “just happens one day and it only lives in your genitals and that’s where it comes from, don’t ask questions”

I thought I'd be positive (which is near impossible for me rn) and just do an appreciation post for the three things making my life bearable rn. Btw I'm 3.5 months TSW and my whole face is raw and weepy and my eyes are swollen near shut, so my mental health has been awful to say the least.

1. My boyfriend. A literal godsend, without him this would be so much worse and I am eternally grateful for how he's handled this situation.
2. Vaseline. Ive been more comfortable dry than moisturized the past few months but this past week I tried vaseline and it gives me a few hours of full mobility and reprieve that has been much appreciated.
3. Weed. Ive been taking hella edibles recently cause it just lets me get out of my head and distracts from the constant discomfort and sadness.

It's about the fifth crash for a month of use
Most of which game related.
First crash happened when I tried delete a cache file from file explorer, second crash happened with a noisy screen after I disallowed Rockstar Launcher to make change, third, fourth, and fifth happened two hours before this post, after I got DLCs for a CPU-intensive game, Cities Skyline, which seems to be the only crashing game out of all.
The device is 2022 Legion5, ryzen 7 6800H RTX 3060, 16 gb ram, windows 11, brand new bought at local chain electronic store on discount. Are the frequent crashes likely a sign of defect? I'm worried and those crashes look nothing like the crash I ever had before, those new crashes looks funky and mess up the display badly whenever crash happens. I thought being an oldschool Lenovo user would prep me for this but no, god says I must never play games on computer and have to use an Apple.
​
Last week have been too much for me, next week probably worse, too much bad things happened, this computer is getting on my nerve and it's two weeks past the refund interval. If it's a defect I can still send in for a repair. Please help me, what is going wrong.

Yesterday, a few people asked me to post about my international move to Switzerland with my NF. NK's are 11, 9, 7. I'm going to try and make it as short as possible. I want to start be explaining that I had been with my NF for 5 years when they asked if I would be willing to move. I didn't have a reason to say no. The whole process of getting work permits and approval from Zurich Canton to live here took about 10 months. My MB job paid for all my moving expenses and fees for the immigration attorney. My NF covers ALL of my Swiss and USA expenses. I use my money for clothes, makeup, and travel when I'm off. We moved here January of 2022. MB's contract is over January 2024 but we may stay longer.
Requirements for my B permit: criminal background check, college degree, proof that I had been with my NF for at least 5 years, birth certificate, USA passport, USA driver's license, pay stubs for 3 months, Swiss employment contract, and proof that I was the only person who could do the job (basically proof that I wasn't taking a job away from a Swiss person). After 1 year in Switzerland, I need to have passed an A1 test in German to renew permit.
Housing here is at a premium. I live in an apartment attached to NF's house. This has been the hardest adjustment for me. We have much less space here than we did in the USA. There was a lot of downsizing of toys and clutter but honestly it was really good for the kids. There's so much to do outside here that no one has really complained. The Swiss are some of the fittest/healthiest people I have ever seen. They walk everywhere. I go to the grocery store daily since the food is so fresh (it goes bad quickly) and we have a fairly small kitchen. There is no buying in bulk here which I miss.
The kids go to an international school. I could write a book on how amazing their school is. I wish every kid in the world could get this kind of education. They are outside as much as possible in all weather. There was definitely a learning curve for me on making sure everyone had the right clothes for the different weather here. School is very much kid driven learning. 11 and 7 are thriving in their school. Both of them were showing signs of ADHD in the US but since coming here those symptoms have gone away. I think the combination of limited processed food and the amount of physical exercise they get at school has helped a lot. 9 has struggled more to adjust to living here. 9 has always been my orchid NK. 9 needs prime everything to thrive. 9 sees a therapist here though and has made great progress.
The public transportation here is top notch. I'm from a smaller suburb in PA with no public transportation so I'm still impressed by it. NYC nannies don't come for me. I know you live that life everyday and Im jealous. We travel as much as we can when the kids are on break from school. The school gives lots of time off, which is a blessing and also a curse. Keeping the kids occupied can be hard at times. More often than not we get out of Zurich when they're off school.
Overall, I feel like my life hasn't changed all that substantially. I'm learning German which has been the hardest part of moving here. Making friends can be difficult but between the kids school, my gym, and my German classes-I have been able to make some friends. Im happy to answer any questions you might have without completely putting my NF on blast. I wouldn't call them my unicorn family because we've definitely had some growing pains over the past year but I am extremely thankful for the opportunity they've given me. I'm also thankful that I have been able to find families that have kept me for so long. This is my second family that I've been with for more than 5 years.

This is so stupid.
I (24f) work at a daycare, most kids there are between two and five years old.
The daycare closes at 5pm and on most days there are only two or three children left by then. So yesterday it was nearing 5pm and everyone had already gotten their stuff outside so we could lock up and go home as soon as the kids were all picked up. One kid (4m) wanted to know what time it was and my coworker (40f) asked me if I had a clock on me.
I was busy with cleaning up at the moment so I just handed her my phone without really thinking about it. Note that my phone is usually locked away in the office all day because I broke two phones already at this daycare (children are sweet but they're also lunatics) so there's no way for the kids to just take it and turn it on by themselves.
Now. Those of you who are on tumblr (and maybe even those of you who aren't) may have heard of Gandalf Big Naturals. If you haven't, you might still be able to figure out what that might look like, but in case you don't here's my lockscreen: https://images.app.goo.gl/bZi1qnx4xkpEGv6f8
Apparently my coworker held the phone in a way where the kid could see it and of course he thought it was extremely funny. Two of my other coworkers thought it was funny too and one didn't think much of it but the coworker I handed my phone was really pissed at me for having this inappropriate lockscreen.
I told this story to my mom and she called me unprofessional but like- that's my own private cellphone the kids normally never get to see?? How do you even have to hold the phone as a grown adult for a 4yo to see the screen?? Idk I'm not even sure anymore, AITA?

Ive been told im a hoe constantly by many poeple in my life. And I see social media and other girls seems to embrace this term and feel free from any negative thoughts linked to it. Free to express their sexuality. I dont consider myself one. I had hand counted relationships and im nearly my 30s. However, i have people at work that say that, both my exes said that before breaking up and even my parents told me that if i had sex before 18 I would become one. I think this term goes deeper than just offend my reputation and affects me more than what i am aware of. Ive been trying to not pay attention to it but honestly i still care a lot what peoples think. Does it has anything to do with attachment styles or anything deeper maybe? Low steem, childhood trauma? 🤔

Hi there,
Background I joined my company nearly two years ago. It would be two years in just under 14 days. For the last year morale has been low due to redundancies and other things. It's dropped further as a senior exec gave in his notice, along with my line manager.
Anyway, a new Exec came in recently who I've only interacted with virtually. Before this week I've only been in large calls with him, and only interacted once in a 121 manner. This week I've interacted with him more personally in a smaller setting a few times. Coming away from those calls, I was left that he wasn't impressed with what I had to say i.e. that not everything is sunshine and rainbows, but always in a constructive manner. Fully professional etc.
Anyway it gets to yesterday (Friday) morning and HR sends over to me a Teams invite for the early afternoon for a review. No context is provided. Get into the call and told that I am terminated "as of today, and today is your last". Access will be revoked from all systems etc. That I will be paid my monthly wage, 4 week notice period and annual leave.
The reasons given in the call are my line manager, new C-suite and unnamed others have noticed that I seem to lack motivation. I reply that is new to hear - I've always hit my targets, set both by my org and line manager. That I've never been informed - unofficially or otherwise - that I was not performing to the standard required. Instead I've only gotten positive feedback. HR mention also that it is partly because I've been unhappy - I reply that whilst I've been disheartened for reasons mentioned above - the same could be said of the majority of the company. HR agrees with this.
​
Anyway shortly after, I lose access to 1 system, and my colleagues are informed that today is my last day via email that I'm not looped into (friend shares it with me anyway). I'm also sent a termination letter stating the reason for termination not being able to "attain the standard of work required...[Company] has concerns regarding your performance and motivation".
​
I have not signed anything, only to respond asking for payslips, copy of contract. After speaking with ACAS and friends who have experience in HR, I appealed via email as my contract states is possible for disciplinary procedures. Appealing for wrongful dismissal. Disputing the lack of poor performance (again never been an issue, this rendering of lack of motivation (no one has ever asked me). I've also asked for a copy of the investigation report.
I've also had it confirmed to me by several people intimately involved in the matter, that the decision was driven by the new exec who just doesn't like me (for whatever reason). Advice I've gotten is that what they've done is not legal/they haven't followed due process. That actually I am still employed for the next month, which would take me over the 2 year mark?
The clause in my contract regarding termination states that I have to be given notice, 1 month in writing. Alternatively it can be done immediately/without pay if "committed any serious breach of your obligations as an employee or committed any act of gross misconduct".
Ultimately I recognise that my time at the company is done, and I'd like to get to an amicable agreement with them where I'm given a golden parachute and not "sacked".
Questions I have are:

1. How does my situation look like from a legal point of view? Is the above feasible?
2. Am I actually still employed for the next month, taking me over the two year mark which will give me greater protection?
3. Anything else?

​
tldr; Worked at company for nearly 2 years. Never been written up for anything. New exec comes in, dislikes me. Got told yesterday that I'm terminated on the same day for "lack of motivation", whilst getting some payment. What are my options.

If you’re like me and feel life is entirely too short to spend on important, self-congratulatory games (or people, for that matter), might I recommend 2020’s Sludge Life?

I've had this PC I use for gaming for about a year and I'm not familiar with keep its drivers updated or which ones I even need to do.
Computer Type: Desktop
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core Processor
Motherboard: B450 TOMAHAWK MAX II
BIOS Version: American Megatrends International, LLC. H.40, 03/02/2021
RAM: 16GB
PSU: ?
Case: ?
Operating System & Version: WINDOWS 10 64
GPU Drivers: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
Chipset Drivers: ?
Background Applications: DISCORD, CHROME
Description of Original Problem: I'm trying to update my drivers and a lot of information is telling me to go to this AMD support website. However when I select my processor it gives me two options, RyzenMaster and StoreMI. I downloaded RyzenMaster and there doesn't seem to be anything on here about updating the drivers, only about overclocking. I then downloaded this AMD Auto-Detect and Install Tool but I just keep getting the Error 182.
Troubleshooting: I downloaded the chipset software from this but I'm not sure what that's done, I rebooted my PC after it told me to but I can't find the application.
Apologies if this is very noobish, I just want to make sure everything is updated and I know where to do so.

So I've been on prozac before, I made it 3 months in and then stopped, I didn't really have any benefits at that time(6weeks 20mg, 6weeks 40mg).
Recently I went back on them but already I'm waking up not wanting to go to work. This happened with other antidepressants where I just stopped going to work and started sleeping all day.
I don't want to stop taking them because I think oh I bet after 3 months is when they start kicking in for me. But maybe prozac and the other antidepressants I've tried aren't for me.
Ugh I dunno but I can't go back into this rut of lying in bed all day and nearly losing my job....but but what if I miss out on the prozac actually working. Ughhh. Without medication I'm a mess, with medication I'm a mess, I can't win!

So I've done some work to see what it could be.
I exchanged my power supply thinking it could be a fault in it (went back to my 500w) and the problem persisted.
I got a cpu that doesn't have a history of overheating and the problem persisted
I updated damn near every driver I can think of short of the printer and the problem persisted.
This next bit is irrelevant but, just to put in perspective how desperate I am to fix this shit, I went looking for RAM drivers and shortly found out there is no such thing. Learn something new every day.
Updating my drivers fixed a cooling issue atleast but that's about all it fixed.
To test the waters even further, I used Ryzenmaster to stress test my cpu. All cores running max speed, at 77w (which shouldn't be possible cause the R7 5700x has a wattage of 65) and the damn thing barely got to 61C (max is 95C) and didn't crash my PC. I did this twice. Once with the CPU gutted at 80% max speed, another at 100, which is when it reached 61C.
If I never have to do PC troubleshooting again, it'll be too soon.
Using Eventviewer, I got EventID 6008 and a Critical Kernel-Power Event 41. Basically just telling me "Your shit stopped".
I switched back to my 1kW PSU in hopes of the issue being a lack of power, and nothing.
Even did the stress test and the CPU got hotter trying to open discord on startup than running at 77w with all cores going full blast.
What is there left to check? Any help would be appreciated because I'm at a loss for what it could be.
To be more specific, it dies whenever I try to render or export anything in premiere, or whenever I try to record a game while on Discord. Sometimes it just crashes when I'm editing. Is it the sudden ramp up? I'm at a genuine loss of ideas here short of replacing my mobo.
Tldr; PC still fucked, slightly less so but still unusable for what I need. Stress tests fine but God forbid I ask it to do anything. Any advice would be appreciated.

Each year at the Memorial, we listen to a Bible-based talk that gives clear answers to a number of questions. We learn why mankind needs a ransom and how the death of one man can atone for the sins of many. We are reminded of what the bread and the wine represent and who should partake of them. (Read Luke 22:19, 20.) And we meditate on the blessings that are in store for those who cherish the earthly hope. (Isa. 35:5, 6; 65:17, 21-23)

question

Hi all, sorry if this is against the rules but I want to start riding indoors with Zwift and in the market for a second hand direct drive turbo
There are a few being sold near me but the price on all of them seems too good to be true compared to RRP, Do turbo trainers just not hold value very well?
On that note is there anything I should look out for when buying second hand?
Thanks in advance

My foot pushed down harder on the accelerator as my stomach cramped up again in a painful spasm. I was speeding through a schoolzone, and as a sign popped up on the side of the road clearly stating '20' I snapped out of my desperate panic and reluctantly dropped from '40' down to '25'. Turning a corner I realized to my horror that it was three o'clock, and the street was mobbed with parents buzzing in and out of the building to collect their children.
I turned to look behind me and I nearly lost it, my asshole puckering as I sucked the poison back inside. I was completely boxed in. Another four cars had already trapped me inside. I smashed the horn, pleading with the traffic on either side to budge. They didn't.
After a gruelling seven and a half agonising minutes and a half hearted search for some sort of viable receptacle and something other than socks to wipe with, the blockage finally gave way. The cars slowly began to move forward. Eagerly creeping behind, I saw the problem. Somebody had broken down right there by the school gates, having finally been repaired and sent along. A wave of relief washed over me as I considered the short journey ahead. The Porsche dealership was a little over a mile away. A dealership which had a bathroom, one I'd used before. Afterall, that's where I'd bought my car. They knew me, and I knew I'd be able to breeze on in, no questions asked. A deep growling rumbled out over the radio and I put my foot down again as soon as I broke through onto the main road. Just a straight shot, and it would all be over.
Not a minute passed until I was once again utterly dismayed, near losing all hope; ready to just give up right there and then and ruin a perfectly decent pair of black suit pants and the interior of my beautiful brand new Porsche's two-colour interior, characterized by a perfectly coordinated interplay of colours, materials and individual finishes suited just for me. A red light shone in the distance, and in its wake sat a long line of idling cars. Lesser cars, all in my way. My gut quaked violently and sharp pains erupted all through my midsection, sweat pouring down my back and growing sticky in the afternoon heat. I peeled myself from the smooth-finish leather, craning my head out the open window just enough to get a good shout across and I screamed as loudly as the rapidly building pressure would allow, but once again my efforts were futile.
Another minute, now five since I first stared down the crimson cyclops - FIVE minutes at a red light - before at last I was granted passage as everyone finally moved along. Taking their sweet time, of course. I took the left, screeching into the Porsche customer parking lot. The engine stayed on and the keys stayed in, I didn't even close the door behind me. There was no time. The car was the least of my concerns at that point, there was only one thing on my mind.
Shoulder-barging through the glass doors, it's as if my vision became tunneled as I focused in on that bright shining door located at the far wall emblazoned with the sign identifying it as a toilet. And only a little bit past two rows of Porsche's that were only slightly better than mine, I was so close. An audible grunt escaped my pursed lips. As I rushed past the reception desk, something grabbed me. It was Gina. Fucking Gina.
"Mr Kleinfeld? Hi! Lovely to see you again! There aren't any problems with the car, are there?" She looked concerned on the surface but only about as far as it might affect her status as the dealership's top salesperson that month.
"What?!" I caught myself before I let slip just how much pain I was in, confused as to why I wasn't just making a break for it. "Oh? No it's… it's amazing. Fantastic, even. It's just… the thing is…"
Gina raised an eyebrow behind her thick hipster glasses. Functional, yet chic. Now appearing sincerely concerned.
"CAN I USE YOUR BATHROOM!?" The words piled out fast and hard in more of a shriek than a polite request. Gina took a small surprised step back before replying apologetically,
"I'm so sorry, but it'll be closed until at least Five. We've had a plumbing issue this morning a-"
My bodily functions erupted loudly against my will, interrupting the dealership's most enterprising saleswoman midsentence as a fetid smell akin to what I imagine a genocide reeks like filled the spacious area, floor to ceiling, within seconds. I stood there in shock, as did Gina. We maintained an uncomfortable mutual stare for a moment before my feet automatically began backing away; unconsciously desperate to escape the nightmare on my stunned behalf.
Others began to correlate the stench with my shuffling presence and two or three pointed in my direction, outing my soiled situation to their small groups of co-workers.
"Don't look at me!" I yelled as involuntarily as I'd emptied my bowels as I crossed the threshold back into the lot, my shrill echo booming as everyone who hadn't previously noticed my embarrassment did then at that exact moment. My mind was racing, while also simultaneously completely blank in an odd mix of trauma, shame, panic and despair. My reputation, tarnished in the blink of an eye like my work slacks.
I got to my still open and blinking Porsche, removed the bottom half of my attire and dumped it all right there beside me on the ground, socks included. They were someone else's problem now. With a quick wipe using the discarded clothing I hopped back inside and sped away from the scene, the smell haunting me the whole way like the memory of that day will haunt my every waking moment forever.
An hour's drive home later and I was sitting outside my house afraid to go inside. I didn't tell my wife what happened to me when she greeted me at the front door, balls out, instead storming upstairs to hide in the shower, opting for the inevitable rumor mill to do the job instead. We never spoke of it, ever. I never spoke about much of anything after that…

I promise I'm not making this up, and I know I'm not crazy because as a kid I almost died, it's like this is another one of those Mandela effect cases or something.
Back in the mid 90s my brother's used to bring me home giant gummy dinosaurs, jolly ranchers or lifesavers (I can't remember which) that were square like charms candy, and these drinks called asteros that had these little jelly balls that float at the top of the bottle. I wasn't any older that 5 or 6. One day they came home with big league chew and I found it in their room on the dresser already opened. It was outta here original. The baseball player was ready to swing and was blowing a big bubble from his mouth that covered part of his glasses on his right eye. On the bubble it read "Grows as you chew".
Me being a kid I was like yeah I want some! So I grabbed a little handful of the shredded gum and started chewing on it, and sure enough the more I was chewing it was getting bigger and harder to chew. Me being little and never eating gum before I didn't know what gum was I just figured it was a candy. I had tried to swallow some of the gum and it was still growing and got stuck in my throat to the point I was choking, I did the best I could and was lucky enough to get it out (I happened to be alone at home at the time because my big brother was getting my younger big brother from school down the street and had put cartoons for me to watch while he was gone). I threw my chewed gum away and never forgot that day.
Fast forward to this year and we were talking about near death experiences and I told my story. I went online to find the gum I was talking about to show them what the package looked like and to see the ingredients list and I literally can't find a single thing about it anywhere! Not in discontinued chewing gums, not in lawsuits over chewing gum, no google images, nothing.
So have any on you reading this ever had chewing gum that grows in your mouth the more that you chewed it? Because I can't make this up, nor would I want to. I was actually just trying to figure out what ingredients they used to make the gum grow.

Me (25M) and my GF (22F) have been officially together for just over a year now but started seeing each other around 18 months ago and are currently having some issues with new distance in the relationship.
When we first met she lived 40 minutes away, which at the time didnt feel so bad. We took things slow (mostly on my terms) but ended up fostering a committed relationship. She began to look to move closer to me, viewed several places to rent and even got a job near me. Though i currently live with my parents she spent most days with me and stayed most nights while she was looking somewhere.
The first half of last year was great, we went away together a lot made a tonne of memories in a short time and built a genuinely amazing relationship. My relationship before her was 8 years long, and ive felt so much more love in this newer one. Im basically trying to say that things were very good, everything was so easy and it just felt like we were made to be a team.
Summer came around and she ended up landing her dream job opportunity of becoming a tattoo artist (apprentice position). The studio was 50 minutes away, but it didnt seem so bad i was just thrilled for her because these positions are famously hard to get. A couple months later she ended up getting a place over there. On a good day it's 50 mins away, on a bad more like 70.
Initially she was working 3 days and living off of savings as well as the small amount she earned at the time. So we still had time to make the trips and stay with eachother for a few nights at a time. However she now works a full 5 days, but tattoo apprenticeships arent particularly lucrative so shes even having to now look for part time work to fit around it.
Im freelance, which is both a blessing and a curse, it means i can be flexible with my time and work from home at her place so we can see eachother on evenings. It also means that my work can be super sporadic and lead to unfortunate timings where we may not see eachother for over a week or more.
But things have been particularly tough recently. We had a bit of a rough patch before Christmas where she didnt feel i was making enough effort and felt that i wasnt committed to our future (she was right to a degree in that i hadnt been doing much to show my intent and put that effort in) then she ended up kissing another guy on a random night out. She owned up to it after it had happened and we took some time off, i made the decision to let her back and try to rebuild some trust. Though many people might think thats not a great move i was happy with my decision and things actually got way way better, we had some conversations and loads of time together over Christmas which was a blessing. Our relationship genuinely got a second lease of life after that.
However the pain from that still festered and i still struggled to fully trust her, the past couple of months ive been quite anxious and maybe sometimes overbearing and just feeling suspicious which has definitely had an effect on her too.
The last month in particular has been difficult as shes had to do things on her usual days off and work has become more busy for me, typically on her days off too. So weve been trying to block out time together but its proven difficult.
This past week ive noticed that shes been a little off, i managed to stay at hers last night and decided to semi address the situation. I was upset and didnt put on my best performance (tears etc) but basically she said she feels like our relationship and her life where she currently lives are two separate things, like shes living 2 lives almost. She said that she feels like she cant establish a social life where she lives or fully settle because of our relationship. Shes always been quite needy (i dont mean that in a negative way) in the sense that she likes to have me around all the time, she basically said that all of the issues that have come with the distance are not what she wants in a relationship. Both of our love languages are physical touch and quality time which arent helped by distance.
The further issue is that we dont have an end goal/distance closer in sight. I will be moving out of my parents house this summer to a city that is even further away (probably 90 minutes total), she considered moving to the city too but says she doesnt want to make the move if im the only reason (which is fair enough i understand that perspective fully). I had tried to push her to move and look for an apprenticeship in that city but she seems to think it will be impossible as theyre super hard to get.
During our conversation last night she said she had kind of made the decision to settle there because it was easier than moving again. We didnt really come to any sort of conclusion, as far as i know we are still together but it feels like its all hanging in the balance.
I want to make this work, i believe we have a good relationship and the only reason for it to end would be 50 minutes of driving, which feels like a waste to me. I considered taking more time off to wrap our heads around the issue but I'm anxious that more space isnt the solution. Im concerned that she will now think im being too needy and anxious as ive made it very clear i dont want things to end.
Any advice would be so appreciated, even just a new perspective!
TLDR: GF (22F) of just over a year recently moved 50 minutes away for work. We have a very good relationship (barre one rough patch where she kissed someone else as our relationship took a hefty dip). Things have been busy and we've struggled to see eachother more than once a week recently. I will be moving further away (90 mins) in summer and we dont have an end goal of distance closer in sight. Im freelance so sometimes can work at her place and see eachother on evenings, she had time to look to move to the city that im moving to but has decided to settle where she is as she doesnt want to make the move just because i am.
