Secluded places in gta 5

Hi! I'm hoping to find a woman to create an emotional and intellectual connection together.
I'm a geek, but you probably couldn't tell by looking at me. I look more like a football player, although I have absolutely no interest in sports. I love imaginative tabletop roleplaying games, and have run quite a few of them. As a bibliophile with a good memory, there are thousands of books in my head. All my life I've been collecting treasures: snatches of poetry, wonderful books, music, great movies and TV shows, and beautiful places to walk. Sharing those treasures makes me happy.
I love to laugh, cook, dream, and read. I'm a cat person. An omnivore, but a picky one. Occasionally I write a bit of poetry or a story. I make up silly songs on the fly to sing to my cat to tease him. Fortunately he doesn't understand.
Politically I'm an environmentalist, leftist, and anticapitalist - but I'm not doctrinaire about it. As the full-time single father of a newly-adult son (I've been divorced for eight years), the future of the Earth is deeply important to me. I'm an atheist, but not the aggressive kind. Outreach and understanding is more my style rather than confrontation.
I don't smoke or drink, never have. I have nothing against alcohol, but I just don't like the taste of it. I've been told by many people that I'm remarkably kind. Those people must have somehow missed my occasionally dark sense of humor.
Born a redhead but bald for many years now. My beard has mostly turned white, but my mustache and eyebrows are still red. A bit chunky but working on it. I've been called cute.
I'm demisexual. For me, a real emotional connection is an absolute prerequisite for a physical one. I'm hoping to find a geeky woman to laugh, take walks, go to fun places, and share ideas with. And if we happen to be able to write things together - fiction, poetry, or game scenarios - I'm dying to meet you! *
Lastly, I'm looking for real-world connections. I'm in southeastern Massachusetts, closer to Providence than Boston. Please be in my general area.

• - Just a figure of speech. I am not actually dying. 😄

PSA:

 Don't ever shop online at #GameStop. I literally had to argue with the online team about an order that I haven't received that was ordered over a week ago, only to find out that they never had it in stock to begin with (why make it available to purchase in the first place) . Then, they try to refuse to give me a refund. I had to go in the store and explain my situation just to get my money processed. Funny thing about that is i had to go behind the register and do it because the guy wasn't trained to proccess it (i felt bad for him). And #capcom #hori y'all need to cut yall contract with them. Now, I have to wait longer to get my money back. 

I (21F) Need Advice About My Fiancé (23M): Mixed Feelings about Last Night with My Fiancé
Hey, Reddit! I am a (21F) and my fiancé is (23M). We have been in a relationship for a year. I could use some insights and advice on a situation that happened last night with my fiancé. We had a great time together, but there's something bothering me and I'd appreciate your perspective.
Last night, I drove over to my fiance's place. We had a few drinks, played games, enjoyed some food, and eventually ended up cuddling, which led to having sex. It was our first time drinking together, and overall, it was a positive experience.
However, when it was time for me to leave and I said my goodbyes, I noticed something different. He didn't ask if I got home safely like he usually does. Normally, he's the sweetest and most caring person, always checking in on me. So, when I got home, I went to bed with the feeling that he wouldn't text me.
I understand it may not seem like a big deal, but it did hurt me a little bit. It's not about wanting constant validation; it's more about the absence of his usual gestures, like thanking me for coming over or acknowledging that we had fun. These small things mean a lot to me.
Another aspect that bothered me was that he didn't walk me out to my car, although that's not a major concern. It's the lack of a follow-up or communication afterward that's been bothering me the most.
I don't want to nag him or overreact, especially since he's currently on a road trip with his friends, headed to an amusement park. I want him to have fun and have some space. However, I can't help but wonder why he didn't reach out once I got home to see if I had made it etc. Additionally, I'd like to mention that this morning, after about four hours of me being asleep, he did send me a text saying, "Sleep well." Unfortunately, I didn't see it until I woke up. I replied a couple of hours later, and he responded a couple of hours after that, just before leaving for his road trip. He asked, "How are you?" and followed up with "Miss you." I want to provide all the details to give a comprehensive picture of the situation, as I am aware that I might be overthinking everything. It's important for me to be fair to him as well.
I'm seeking some insight and advice on how to approach this situation. Am I overthinking it? Should I bring it up to him later when he's back? Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

I recently moved to a place with more backyard space, and now have a choice on boat storage. Currently it is rolled up inside but I wonder if it would be worth it to leave the boat inflated in the backyard. I would put a tarp over it. Just wondering what the general consensus is on rolled vs outdoor inflated storage.

How bustling are these places beyond scheduled times when it is expected to be busy? Do these spaces remain empty until the next event?

Hi all, so I (F22) have this male friend (M24) that I keep having mixed feelings over. We’ve known each other for a few years because of our families but only started actually becoming friends last summer. As we started getting closer, I started feeling more attracted to him, and honestly there have been times where I felt like there might be at least some attraction from his side too. Both my parents, as well as his sister, have even commented/hinted that our relationship didn’t seem completely platonic to them. But the thing is, we’re just at such different points in our lives. I’m still new to the dating scene and very inexperienced, so I’m open to being more adventurous right now. But he’s had a lot of relationships already (including long term ones) and he’s kinda done with dating and ready to settle down. We’re also just soooo different from each other and have completely different goals in life (e.g. he wants to settle down and live in his home country forever, while I want to get more experience living in different countries). So rationally I know it would never work out, but I can’t help but still hold on to the hope of something happening someday and I keep replaying our memories together again and again in my head until we make new ones (because we live in different places). There’s also not really a way to distance myself from him until I get over these feelings because our families are so close (and not to mention how he’s basically best buds with my parents, since he currently goes to college in my native city while I don’t). Please can someone help me get over these feelings?

My boyfriend (31M) and I (27F) have been together for 2.5 years. He is very sweet and supportive of me always. However, I am very insecure and have jealousy issues. In the beginning of our relationship my bf told me that he had been with 5 other people. I questioned him a lot about those people and couldn’t let it go. I made him feel very uncomfortable with everything from his past. One day we got in an argument, I thought my bf and I were broken up and I went out with a guy friend and we had sex which I didn’t enjoy at all (I told him to stop and he didn’t). I obviously didn’t tell my boyfriend but instead I made up a story and said that I was abused by someone. My bf felt awful and the next day he told me he had been lying about something. He told me that he had been lying about the number of people he had been with. He told me that he had actually only been with 1 person before but he lied because he was ashamed of not having a lot of experience and thought that I would judge him in the beginning of our relationship. He also said that all the constant questioning made him feel like he couldn’t be honest with me and instead doubled down. I still haven’t told my bf the truth that I slept with another guy the day we argued and kinda broke up. I constantly keep asking my bf if he is actually lying to me about the number of people he had sex with in the past. He keeps telling me he isn’t lying anymore and it was just 1 before me hit I keep thinking that he is lying. I’m wondering if I am projecting big time here because of what I did before he admitted the truth? Is this projection from my part because I’ve been hiding that I had sex with someone else?

I don't know why I think of her every time I hear that one song but it just brings me back to that one little crush. Sure I have had lots of crushes in my lifetime. There was my elementary school crush, my middle school teacher crush, my many high school crushes. Heck, I even had an Army officer crush who outranked me by so much that I am pretty sure it was a military infraction just looking at her. But if you would have told me that being a man in my mid forties that I would have a crush on one of my neighbors, I think I would have laughed.
Living in a city it is really easy to get lost in the crowd. There are so many people that it is in fact sometimes hard to distinguish yourself from everyone else. We are almost like lemmings just going through our own little routines.
Yet, once in a while someone just starts to stand out. For me it doesn't really matter what someone looks like, I have always just been fond of someone who looks like their life is an adventure. That's what I noticed first. She was wearing a white lab coat, glasses, and a badge that let me know she was a medical resident. For all intents and purposes she was young enough to be my daughter and that is seriously not one of my things. In fact, I generally try not to talk to anyone who is not at least 40 because there is so much that we would not have in common . But still there was just something about her.
I would see her in passing and make small conversation. I would even see her at a few running races that I had attended. But again there was nothing that honestly would connect her to me.
So how do crushes work ? The less I seemed to know about her, the more I seemed to just get those little goose bumps when I did see her. We were always polite and cordial to each other. I loved hearing her talk about her studies and she seemed to smile when I talked about my training. But I knew that she was on a timeline and that one day her studies would take her to some place new.
I was in part envious that she was so young and so beautiful, at least in my eyes. I was part happy but also part jealous that she could run with such ease. She was just going someplace and I just seem to exist. Again, I am always happy when I see young people doing things with their lives and gosh she seemed to be doing that. Not burdened with any of the mid life responsibilities, not broken by any of the hard life lessons that we have to learn. She just seemed to be on an adventure. And part of her adventure was that she was just passing through.
I will never forget the last day I saw her. I was on my bicycle trainer and just pedaling away. She was packing boxes to leave. I wanted to say hi. I wanted to say thanks for bringing some happiness to an old man's heart . But instead I just said nothing.
It has been over three years since she moved away but every time I hear that one song I just think of her. I have never written about her and I do not know why I do now. Maybe, I just feel like it is time to let that crush go. Or maybe I am trying to normalize my feelings.
Whatever the case, I am hopeful that if she ever thinks of me. That she thinks of a kind and gentle man.

Using this as an excuse to brag.
Was correct predicting SANADA wining the Cup before Battle in the Valley even took place.

I’m on day 3, my GA/FL doctor wouldn’t fill my script in VA while there for work for 6 weeks so I had to wean myself and jump. Started 8 mg a day December 2021 for kratom use disorder. I’d miss half a dose here and there and would always fill 2 days early so I had plenty of leftovers. I happened to have been at 4 mg a day for the week before my appt and then I kept cutting my dose in half every 3-5 days until I got to 0.5 mg which I only took for 2 days. I’m very very very active (60 min HIIT, 30 min yoga, +/- swimming or running 6 days a week with just 75-90 min of yoga on my rest day), and I cannot stress how important it is to engage in physical activity during the process. Yeah it’s painful, you’ll have cold sweats, fatigue, nausea, yawns, sneezes, but it’s all part of the healing process that can’t be rushed. You gotta push through.
This is my second time doing a rapid wean, but this time was way more comfortable given the dose I started on and what I weaned down to.
First time was several years ago when I was snorting 90 mg oxy a day then saw a doctor that started me on bup 8 mg QID then quickly switched to subs 8 mg QID and kept dropping my dose every other day. I was hella determined to quit and jumped at 2 mg as recommended by my doctor and it was horrible, but I stuck through it.
Jumping from 0.5 mg is comfortably uncomfortable if that makes sense to anyone. It’s all a mental game once you get below 1 mg a day.
Helpful meds to ask your PCP for: clonidine 0.1 mg BID for psych symptoms trazodone 100 mg at bedtime for sleep Zofran 8mg BID/prn for nausea Imodium 4 mg prn for diarrhea
If you’re thinking of jumping: Have a good support system and stay as active as possible and push through so you get used to natural endorphins faster. Yes you can still work and function through it all. I know today is the worst day but I’m looking forever to feeling better tmrw and continuing to improve over the next few weeks.

Does anyone know of a good way to record your phone's screen while holding it? I'm not looking for a screen recording app, my phone has one built in, but a way to record my hands along with what I'm doing on screen. I can't find a way to place a camera that captures the screen at a decent angle, while still being able to play the game, because I need both hands for it

I support the mods decision to go dark, and would also support the mods if they wanted to extend the blackout indefinitely. In light of that possibility, would we consider setting up a backup community elsewhere, perhaps on Lemmy?
u/agildehaus has access to a dormant SpaceX community by over on lemmy.ml. Could we try revive this?
I don't think we'd need much to start off with. The priorities should probably be a Starship Dev thread, a launch thread for Starlink 5-11 (scheduled to launch during the blackout), and meta-thread for discussion on the migration from Reddit.
I'm not certain we'd need a version of SpaceXLounge yet, as Lemmy is still relatively small, but it might be wise to separate the memes from the serious discussion. I have created c/SpaceflightMemes for this purpose.
What are people's thoughts?

Am I suffering the effects of an ancient poultry spell or am I just an incompetent new chicken mom?
https://imgur.com/a/w3OyzWC
Have a flock that has gone from 6 girls to 3 in under a year. We've lost Baba Yaga (Barred Rock) who we got as a chick and Hecate (Ameraucana) and Ms. O-Ren (Wyandotte) both of whom we got as pullets from an okay-ish place.
For additional context, our remaining 3 are and have been healthy. Two we got at the same time as Baba and the third came along with O-Ren and Hecate.
Additional context is below. Would love any and all questions, critiques, and/or out-right changes folks might have. 1. Are we doing something wrong and/or can we do anything better? (....incompetence?!) 2. Is this just a series of unfortunate events that are regrettable, but common, amongst backyard chicken flocks? (....curse?!)
Death scenarios:

1. Baba Yaga got sick last winter - likely a respiratory infection. We took her to the vet, started a course of antibiotics, and she recovered. However, she continued to lose weight and was unstable on her feet for a few months. All while eating and drinking normally. We found her dead one morning in Jan 2023.
2. Hecate started breathing whistle-y in April 2023. We treated symptoms of clogged nostrils (? not sure what they are on a beak) with warm compresses and her breathing returned to normal. A few days later, we woke up to find her with a gray comb and open-mouthed, labored breathing. She died within 30 minutes.
3. O-Ren passed away earlier this week (June 2023) within 48 hours of an apparent injury. She would not put weight on her left leg. We inspected for injuries and mobility issues and couldn't find any visible. We isolated her, gave her antibiotics and the ratio of 5 Advil 350 mg tablets/1 gallon water. She was eating and drinking normally both days. We woke up on the third day and she was dead.

Other info:

1. We are located in the southern United States. We use pine shavings in the coop. They have a fairly large run and we let them out in our backyard to free range. No access to chemicals, nightshade plants, trash, etc.. We do have two backyard bird feeders and have been unsuccessfully attempting to live trap some mice that have taken up residence under our potting shed after observing feces around and in the run. We've now bought snap traps.
2. We replace bedding, clean up run poop, clean and replace water once a week. We clean and replace food, layer pellets, as needed. We sanitize our cleaning tools with a diluted bleach solution.
3. We use food-grade DE in dirt bathing spots and around the coop and run. We treated girls with dewormer spring 2022. We have ordered poultry dust as we recently noticed mites. We have not treated for mites beyond DE to date.
4. We are not sure of the status of vaccination of any of them.

Ursula, Dolores, and Lilith (our remaining 3 hens) say THANK YOU for any and all advice! Much appreciated.

Been lurking a while and coming to terms with my weed issue by reading all the amazing posts here. Thanks y'all. It felt the same as when I started lurking around /stopdrinking which helped me quit my alcohol addiction 4 years ago. Over the pandemic I picked up a daily weed habit to deal with the stress of it. But at the same time I was slowly coming to terms with some childhood trauma and how it impacted me. Alcohol had kept me from facing it and I was starting to feel the same from weed; the instant break from anxiety was nice but I was starting to feel trapped in this place where I just wasn't moving emotionally.
Well I talked with my sister last week and learned that my father is still verbally, emotionally, and physically abusive. Mostly to my step mom but also had been to my sister as well in recent years when he'd visit. I thought he had changed. He terrified us as kids when he'd come home drunk and yell at us and beat us. I knew he still drank but I naively thought he'd changed because he was so mellow when I'd see him so I somehow thought I'd put it all behind me. But that was all an act he put on in front of me because he knew I'd fly off the handle on him. I was a little high when I was on the phone with my sister but I sobered up quick. For a bit now I've had that feeling after getting high that it wasn't what I wanted to be doing. This drove that home. I wanted my head on straight to be there for my sister (turns out her husband is emotionally abusive as well) as well as my step mother and myself. It's day 6 and my sleep is fucked and my appetite is fucked and I'm irritable but for the first time in a long time I see a light at the end of the tunnel. It helped some things click into place like why I have trouble dealing with the slightest bit of stress as well as why I have anger issues. I saw myself walking a dark path with alcohol and slowly becoming my father from my childhood. Knowing that he's still walking that path tore me apart. Right now the only thing I want to say to him is that if i EVER hear he so much as raised his voice to anyone I will fly across the country, beat his ass, drive him to the ER, and then our relationship is over. But I'm giving some time to let my emotions settle. Not sure what I'll say to him yet but I do know I'm not getting high today
