2023.06.10 05:45 kalajpizza Wife (39F) doesn't like me (37M) hanging out with friends or doing really anything social outside of planned events like dinner parties or birthdays.

This has been an issue sorta for a while but it recently came to a head. Me and my wife had very different upbringings. She came from the suburbs and I was raised in brooklyn, very different families and cultures and attitudes towards things. That being said we of course ended up falling in love and getting married, so its not like we were totally incompatible lol. This is not some major issue between us or anything, but it has always bugged me, and its clearly always bugged her.

We have very different views on socializing, and this became very apparent when we moved to Brooklyn from where we were in westchester around 2 years ago. She just doesn't really 'get' the idea of hanging out. Like, just casually socializing with friends for a few hours. To her, socializing is planned ahead of time and usually a more formal official event, like a dinner party or something. I have some friends in the neighborhood who have introduced me to other people in the area and I see them and we sometimes hang out at the corner bar or cafe or in the park or on someones stoop. Its just pretty normal stuff, its not like we are doing drugs or binge drinking. But she just cant really comprehend it, she thinks of it as immature or trashy or something. She is fine with the people themselves mostly, and its not as if she thinks this is 'taking time away from her' or something (thats never been a complaint). She legit just hates the idea of it. One issue we had was me and mike and his friend were hanging out on a bench just talking one day after I walked the dogs, maybe for like an hour or so, and she saw us, and she said to me later that we looked like a bunch of unemployed street losers hanging out with nothing to do. She apologized right away and laughed at how terrible that sounded, but I could tell she didn't think of it as totally a joke.

When I go out with her friends, they aren't like... upper class or anything. But they are way more formal in a weird way. Like socializing to them is just a once every month or two get together at some restaurant or something where they dress up a bit. Sometimes a baby shower or wedding. If my wife does ever have people over, she makes a huge deal out of it and lays trays of food out and lights candles and has to set the lights to a specific color and allllll this stuff, as if the simple act of having anyone over is some huge formal event. When we lived in the suburbs this was pretty much the norm too. Very different social culture there overall, people didn't really casually socialize much at all.

We've talked about this and she kinda seems to not want to talk about it very much. I honestly think there is a bit of shame there for both herself and for me. In the times that she does hang out, she always seems incredibly self conscious, especially considering so much of our hanging out is in a public space. But it just seems weird that she cant just look around at the neighborhood and see that everybody else does this too.

She is just... not really willing to talk about this in an honest fashion, and it kind of bugs me that she toes the line of acting frustrated at it but then acting totally fine with it anytime I bring it up. Not sure how to proceed. What do I do?
TL;DR - - Wife doesn't like to casually socialize, she prefers more formal social events. She thinks of casual socialization as pretty trashy and immature.

2023.06.10 05:42 bigboylee2400 AITAH for dating my friends crush

For context this goes over the time from being in school to after graduation. TW: sh
During school I got a good group of friends and we all kinda got close. Me and my friend Nico(not his real name) got really close and over the course of the year Me and my friend group made a discord server for the class. When the server was first made me, nico, and C(not his real name) texted alot amongst ourselves in the server. C liked to rizz nico alot and while that was happening we would be in Dms talking and nico would mention a lot how he was catching feelings for C. Over time it formed into a crush and I was Nico's wingman. I did a lot trying to get those two to date because I was really supportive of this. I even got them to get really close and almost start dating, but C mentioned how he didnt want a relationship because he was scared he was going to ruin it and I can tell he was really messed up from past relationships. Over time nico changed his mind because C was kinda avoiding asking him out even though it was evident he had feelings for nico. Nico wanted to be fwb with C, which was fine with the both of them and it worked out.
As time passes we all graduate. Me a C were talking between the time school ended and graduation. Soon after I graduated me and C hung out in person. We decided it would be fun to send a picture to our discord server showing how we actually met in person to hang out. We sent the picture of us holding slushies and soon after nico left the server and blocked both of us. I was very confused and C mentioned how he was supposed to hang out with nico but that wasn't possible since he wasn't allowed to go by his mom because nico lives in a different city than us , but we were close so we decided to hang out. We soon deleted the photo from the server and we were kinda stressed but eventually went on to enjoy our day. We ended up having intercourse that day. After that we got really close and started dating eventually. I didn't want to tell our mutual friends because they would tell nico and I felt like nico would be really upset since he was already mad at us hanging out. It had been a few weeks and I decided since we are still blocked there's no point in not telling our friends, so we told them we started dating.
At that point I felt dirty. Like I was doing something incredibly wrong. I was in Dms with my friends that knew about everything. She had told me how she lost a bit of respect for me, which made sense right but I was still a bit oblivious to the way I made my friend feel. I asked my friend that had an outside perspective tell me why I was still blocked and she said, "even before you started hanging out with C nico put a claim on him and like you knew this, you had someone else and then you turn around and start hanging out with C all benounced to nico. So then you keep hanging out with C to the point where C ends up ditching nico who is still into him and then get blocked and you wonder why because you just absolutely crushed him. And you announced it which is fine, ok, I don't care about that, but like the fact that this could hurt someone so much and your so oblivious is shocking. I dont want to be mean but this would abso6crush a person especially since the amount of trust you had in each other." After she told me I needed time to think and it made sense. I had no right to feel the way I did but I was crying, hyperventilating, and cutting myself. How could I make my friend feel that way. I felt terrible and like a bad friend but I also felt like I didn't deserve to feel like this because imagine how i made nico feel. so i confided in current boyfriend C who told me it's not my fault and that nico had many chances to ask him out and date him, but didn't take the chances. He said it's not my fault and that if it is someone's fault it should be his. And even though I was trying to refute this with how I stole him from my friend he said he wasn't an object, which is true and how he chose to be with me because he chose to be.
My friend told me how it was, which I appreciate but there were some things that I wanted to say about it but didn't. I didn't want it to seem like I won't take accountability because I'm more than willing, but for starters I didn't mean to make C start ignoring nico. Before graduation ended most of the time I spent with him was playing around like friends do and talking about getting him and nico together. She also mentioned how I had someone on the side and to be honest this part is my fault because I didn't tell her nor did I expect her to understand. My relationship was that I was in a qpr. I'm not going to explain that since Google is free but even then nothing I did seemed wrong because we were just friends. Even after my qpr ended. I treat all my friends the same way so it's not like I was acting weird to this one person because if I did it to one person I did it to everyone.
There are some people telling me it's not my fault because he misunderstood when we sent that picture in the server before we started dating, but now I'm dating his crush who i love, but all I want to do is have the chance to talk to nico again to make up. So am I the a-hole?
Sorry if this is hard to understand, I'm not good at writing.

2023.06.10 05:15 Infinite_Work4553 Jimmy Angel near campus

Folks, I happened to see a gentleman who visited campus in recent weeks. I was on my way to class and commented on his Elvis hairdo.
He has been performing as a singer and Elvis tribute artists since the 1950's. Apparently he was friends with some big names like Pat Boone among others.
He told me he works as a singer at some restaurant I've only heard of once but never visited called The Smokehouse every first Saturday of each month.
I had to ask him why he is working so hard at his age, and he told me he has no family. He only has a teddy bear and his late mother's photos as his sentiments. He wants to make his mother proud by going out swinging full force and fighting on in life. This gig is what he is passionate about and knows best how to do.
I gave him a big hug and he handed me his business card.
I'm sharing this all with you because no matter where you are at. No matter how hopeless you feel during these trying times especially exacerbated by finals week, be certain that you must do your best no matter what in life. Have clarity on your goals.
While taking a study break one night I looked up this unsung talented performer. If you guys are planning dates or group get together please consider looking this guy up and celebrating him. He's in his late 80s.
I wish one of these Greek life houses would hire him for some sort of 50s night or an alumni association event to celebrate old classes could. I don't mean to be a promoter, that's not my thing but you can't help but feel for someone going out swinging on their way to the end.

2023.06.10 05:12 remembrandy Indian Tacos

Hello!
Leaving Rapid City to the Badlands and then onward to Chicago tomorrow morning.
Does anyone know where to get good “Indian Tacos”? I can’t find many options on Google except for restaurants - hoping to find a roadside stand/street food.
Thank you!

2023.06.10 04:48 Rhewin Drivers: here's what the customer sees if you have a stacked order vs multi-apping

Based on my recent post and others, I think a lot of drivers don't know what the customer sees when there's a stacked order vs when someone takes an order from another app.
When you get multiple orders from UberEATS, this is what happens from the customer's perspective:
  1. The app confirms the order.
  2. We see a little animation while the food is being prepped and no driver is assigned.
  3. When you're assigned, we see you driving to the restaurant. We also see the route you're supposed to take (which honestly sounds like a potential safety issue to me).
  4. When you get the the restaurant, the app sends a push notification that says "X is at the restaurant waiting for your order."
  5. When you leave, the app sends a push notification that says "X has your order. He/she has a few stops along the way." Normally it tells us exactly how many stops.
  6. This is important: your location is hidden from the customer while you deliver other orders. We cannot see where you are on the map, nor can we see your route.
  7. When our stop is next, you appear on the map again and we can see your route from your current location to our location.
Now, if you take an order from a different app like DoorDash, it looks completely different to us:
  1. The app confirms the order.
  2. We see a little animation while the food is being prepped and no driver is assigned.
  3. When you're assigned, we see you driving to the restaurant. We also see the route you're supposed to take (which honestly sounds like a potential safety issue to me).
  4. When you get the the restaurant, the app sends a push notification that says "X is at the restaurant waiting for your order.
  5. When you leave, the app sends a push notification that says "X is on your way with your order."
  6. Your location is shown to us from the moment you leave the store.
  7. We can see the route that you're supposed to take from the store to our location. More importantly, we can see when you deviate from the route, and we can see the app rerouting to try to get you back on track. That means we watch you pass u-turn after u-turn while you drive in the wrong direction.
  8. We see you drive to a random apartment complex or neighborhood, stop for 2-3 minutes, and then start heading back in our direction.
  9. If we're really unlucky, we watch you go to another restaurant before finally delivering our food.
If a customer is complaining about multi-apping here, it's because it's obvious. We know if it's a stacked order. I, for one, will never fault a driver for taking a stacked order, but it is annoying as hell to have an extra 30 minutes tacked on to a delivery because someone is bad at routing.
You might say that you, as an independent contractor, have the right to multi-app and take whatever orders your want. Yep. Customers also have the right to decide that you don't seem to value their tip enough to give good service and adjust accordingly.

2023.06.10 04:40 latenightpuddingcup I don’t know WHY I thought it was a good idea to take my 3 month old to a Teppanyaki restaurant…

…. But I did.
Our 11 year old “promoted” from 5th to 6th grade and he’s such a humble, sweet kid. When we asked him where he wanted to go out to eat, he hesitated. Then he finally said that he knows they’re expensive but he loved the Teppanyaki restaurant we went to for my birthday last year, but he would be okay going somewhere else too.
Well, we’ve been trying to make sure he feels special with a new baby in the house so I talked to my husband and we agreed to take him tonight. All 4 grandparents came and some other family members to be 10 + a baby. I couldn’t arrange a babysitter because everyone wanted to come.
All the past 3 days I’ve been stressed about it, and my husband has been reassuring me that it was going to be FINE. He said babies cry in restaurants and if need be, he’ll step out with our little girl.
Predictably, baby girl is going through a growth spurt and needs to eat and sleep more. She was HANGRY and TIRED right when we showed up. I fed her a bottle of pumped milk as we walked in and she was quiet. The place was so loud (naturally!) that she was completely distracted. For 45 min I held and bounced her, but with all the clanging and yelling her eyes stayed wide open. She was quiet, maybe fussed a tiny bit, but I was a nervous wreck. She gets apoplectic when she’s overtired and I had a feeling she was going to scream any minute…
I ordered a sushi roll so I could eat before everyone else. I inhaled my food and once I was done and she started to truly fuss, I excused myself and just took her home. Said goodbye to everyone, gave hugs, just said she was exhausted and I wanted everyone else to have a nice time. My in laws gave my husband and son a ride home.
Crisis averted. When I walked her through the restaurant back to the car, all of the patrons smiled at her and said “what an adorable baby!” She fell asleep in the car ride home. Honestly it was worse for me than anyone because I was so stressed about it.
Anyway, TL;DR maybe don’t take your tiny infant to a Teppanyaki restaurant. That wasn’t fun.

2023.06.10 04:33 OkFlatworm5033 An Ohio Jane Doe from 1944 has no NAMUS or Doe Network profile.

From the East Liverpool Historical Society:
"The body of a nude young woman was discovered along State St. in the East End in 1944, and neither she nor her slayer were ever identified.
An 18-year-old River Rd. youth found the corpse June 5 around 7:30 am., wrapped in two green blankets and unclothed except for a torn pink slip around her shoulders.
Sam Winters, a high school football player, was on his way home from Crucible Steel Co, at Midland where he worked overnight. He had left a bus at Mulberry St and was walking along State St. when he noticed a pair of bare feet extending from blankets.
He ran to a nearby site and telephoned police.
Apparently strangled, the victim lay on her back in a cluster of weeds about eight feet from the roadway. The blankets were secured to the body with a seemingly little-used clothesline.
The woman was between 25 and 30, with dark brown hair and brown eyes, about 5 foot 6 and weighing around 125 pounds.
County Coroner Arnold Devon reported no marks on the body other than a discoloration on the left shoulder at the base of the neck The body was still warm when found, and Devon estimated the time of death around 5 a.m.
Sheriff George Hayes made plaster casts of tire tracks in the cinder road for possible future identification of the auto used to transport the body. All city police were called to duty in a hunt for clues and visits to restaurants and taverns to locate someone who would recognize the victim.
The following day - Sunday -- an East End man hunting for canvas to build his children a play tent, rummaged through trash at Columbian Park where a carnival had played the previous week. He came across a torn dress and another dress and skirt with rips.
It was discovered that the dead woman resembled one of the five girls in a picture of the Sheesley Carnival's "Gay New Yorkers revue. Sheriff Hayes traveled to Lima where the carnival was playing, but telegramed city police, "Girl in question was on show last night."
Meanwhile, the body was interred at Spring Grove Cemetery after a brief service at the Dawson Funeral Home where some 1,500 viewed the victim out of curiousity or in hopes of recognizing her.
Later the funeral home officials barred anyone from visitation other than out-of-towners sent by police.
Dozens of calls were received from relatives seeking a missing relative or friend, and from law agencies asking a description.
Her fingerprints were sent to the FBI at Washington in hopes that she made have worked in a war industry and identity could be made. But Director J. Edgar Hoover notified Police Chief Hugh McDermott there was no match.
More clues turned up. A St. George St. man putting away his car at 4:10 a.m. saw a driver switch off the lights of his auto as he pulled onto State St. at the railroad underpass. He was positive the license was not a blue and white Ohio tag.
OTHER LEADS died out. A woman who had quarreled with her husband in a hotel at midweek and disappeared from the show was found at her home in North Carolina.
Benwood, W. Va., police were looking for a missing woman with a leg scar. A Shadyside Ave. girl who had not been seen since Friday night in a Wellsville tavern did not match the body description of "Miss X.
Cincinnati police thought she may be a missing 20-year-old girl, but she had false teeth and the slain woman's were natural.
Today, the only known traces of the victim exist within a Spring Grove Cemetery plot, on police and funeral home records and in yellowing newspaper accounts."
WARNING:POST MORTEM PHOTOS IN THE FOLLOWING LINK: http://www.eastliverpoolhistoricalsociety.org/cargrl.htm
Can someone contact the local coroner's office or Sheriff and ask them to put this woman into NAMUS? I did some digging but couldn't find any contact info that was concrete and for sure, only stuff that was outdated. There are entries on NAMUS and the DN much older than this case, and just because this woman has gone unidentified for 79 years doesn't mean she doesn't deserve to have her name back.

2023.06.10 04:22 Cartoondude135 [English > Japanese] Cooking Mama DS recipe names in Japanese please.

This is for anybody who still owns and plays with a copy of the Japanese version of the original DS game Cooking Mama 1 (https://cookingmama.fandom.com/wiki/Cooking_Mama) I need the official Japanese names of all 76 recipes (which you can find under the "Recipes" section in the table of contents) for a special bilingual menu I'm making with the sprites provided along with the full images of the finished recipes when you complete them. It can be Kanji, Hiragana, or Katakana - whichever one suits you as a native Japanese person.
I'm basing the menu off of this menu board or sign you see in certain restaurants: https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-menu-board-featuring-chinese-food-at-aberdeen-centre-a-shopping-mall-50037630.html But I want to make sure I have all the recipes' official Japanese names from the Japanese version of Cooking Mama correct, because I'm sure if anyone who came here from Japan read my special bilingual menu based off of something I see in the western restaurants combined with the work of a machine translator like Google Translate, I'm sure they're just going to walk out my door.

2023.06.10 03:46 Key_Following_2138 i let myself be with the worst man and it still affects me now

i was 14/15 going into a relationship with a man who probably never gave two cents about me . i was a freshman and a junior had started talking to me as friends and then started dating a while later . he was 16/17 and we both felt wrong about the age gap but still decided to date , honestly the first red flag for me was him telling me he loved me a few days before we started dating even if he was saying it because i was depressed at that time . he never took me out on dates and tried to make it seem like i wasn’t his girlfriend , anytime we would hang out it would be at my place only and i let myself only be seen with him quite literally only with my mom . he never posted me on social media , i had to beg for him to do it and one time i didn’t ask him to , i tried to play with him saying “ omg why did you use those photos i hate them “ because of course girls don’t know how to take compliments etc and he never posted me again . we were only dating for 5 months and in the span of 3 he never posted at all . he had a girl best friend who both lied to me saying they never liked each other and were only friends and i let myself believe it but when he broke up with me she told me and it broke me . he lied to me about so much and it felt like he used me for his pleasure most of the time and i hate that i let him do that to me . i told myself i would never be like that ever but now i’m in a relationship twice as long and i feel like it’s still affecting me and it feels like i’m becoming him .
i have some mutual friends with him and i got curious one day and asked to see his profile on instagram to see him have a highlight of his new girlfriend and it broke my heart seeing him do something that i begged for when other girls would dm him because it just showed he never had a girlfriend when i was with him . i don’t know how to cope with this and i don’t know if i ever will , and don’t get me wrong i absolutely love my boyfriend and will never trade him for anyone else but it just still hurts remembering how i let that man treat me and how much it affected me .

2023.06.10 03:35 babyxxpigeon17 A Niagara vacation

It was so terribly cold. Snow was falling, and it was almost dark, when out of the blue, my wife called me at work. "We're going to Niagara Falls for the weekend. I got us an awesome deal!"
We had both been working at our first "full-fledged" jobs for a year and had reached that moment after graduation when you suddenly realize you can't make that impact on the world your student enthusiasm once promised. At first, I just sighed. It was the dead of January, and I had already expended all my energy on a week of inconsequential stress. I just wanted to collapse on the couch for two days. Sarah felt a similar weary exhaustion. I could tell. Her tone was more hopeful than excited, but she had dreaded the routine we were sinking into and was trying her best to pull us free.
I looked to the ceiling and adjusted my telephone headset. At that time I was working at Stats Canada on the tele-query desk. I took a deep breath and, as convincingly as possible, said, "Sounds good." I don't think she bought it, but we went nonetheless.
This was Niagara Falls before the casinos when there was a very distinct off-season. When we got to the hotel, we were given the details of our "lovers' special". One dinner to be used either Friday or Saturday, two breakfasts, a roll of tokens for the arcade, 10% off some "4D" movie ride experience, and a 2-for-1 coupon to Max Tussaud's. I guessed it was Madame's nephew? We also got a bottle of sparkling wine in our room and chocolate treats on our pillows. I was impressed. It sounded good.
When we got into our room and saw the "bottle" of wine - basically an aeroplane-sized glass and half - and the chocolates - "fun wrapped" Oh Henry's left over from Halloween - we both started to laugh. The tone for two wonderful days had been set. We decided to cash in on our dinner coupon right away.
The restaurant off the lobby had hopes of being better. There were huge panoramic windows that promised a view of the gorge. Unfortunately, they had some winter moisture problems that day, and it felt like we were defrosting amid the dripping streaks and foggy patches. The decor was your standard booths and tables though the "romantic" lighting was unique. Dollar store battery-powered tea lights were lodged inside thick tumbler glasses and shed a muted pleasantness in a "what a great idea for a craft" sort of way. I had a feeling they were created by our waitress since she was the one who always seemed to be fussing with them. Only one other couple was in the dining room, so she attended to us immediately.
"Can I get you something to start?"
"Sure." "Thank you, that would be nice." We both responded simultaneously.
"And what would the lady like this evening?"
Sarah smiled at the flattery. "I think I'll have a glass of white wine." She glanced over at me to see my reaction. This was a subtle cue of the mood to follow. Diet Coke was usually the beverage of choice. She didn't normally drink alcohol. One glass numbed her nose and made her giggle far too easily. When she did drink, however, it meant she was comfortable with my company and open to anything to follow. I raised my eyebrows in a debonair way.
"And for the gentleman?"
"Do you have Foster's on tap?"
"Yes we do."
"I'll have a pint please."
Sarah smiled at the happy memories I invoked. At university, Foster's was my signature beer. It was at a time when Crocodile Dundee was a known name, and Australia was inexplicably cool. 15 cent buffalo wings and a pitcher of Foster's was the Tuesday night special at the London Arms pub. There the Classics Club would meet and, as a group, circle the wagons and drink ourselves into extroverts.
As soon as the waitress left, Sarah smiled at me. She reached out and held my hand across the table. With my gaze on hers, she slipped her foot from her shoe and slowly began sliding it up my pant leg.
"I got a pedicure this morning." She announced seductively.
I nodded and pretended I didn't notice her invitation. "What colour?" I asked.
"I'm not telling." She teased. "You'll just have to find out later." Her devious little smile was gorgeous.
"Mmmm. I can't wait."
When the waitress returned with our drinks, we immediately retreated to our personal spaces as if we had been discovered by the chaperone. Sarah opened the menu and began to salivate at the variety.
"Can we add an appetizer to the package dinner?" Her question seemed innocent enough.
"You're on the package?" Our friendly waitress disappeared, and we were no longer a lady or a gentleman. She ripped the menu out of Sarah's hand and took mine before I had even opened it. She then scurried to her podium and brought back a tattered, grease-stained, photocopied page that we had to share. We both burst out laughing.
The waitress was flustered that we were not as bothered as she was. "The drinks are NOT included!"
"What choices do we have?" I asked, expecting the usual chicken or fish. I had been on many packages before with my parents.
"Coffee or tea." The waitress snapped.
Sarah and I looked at each other in amused disbelief.
"I'll have coffee please." I didn't even flinch at the ridiculously limited package. I was eager to get my order in early.
"And I'll have the tea!" Sarah followed my lead. "Can I have some milk with that?"
"Yes." The waitress snarled.
"Fantastic!" I enthused.
"Yes, great! I'm glad we got the package, Honey." Sarah joked.
The waitress stormed off and returned sometime later with our lettuce-only salads drowned in Kraft's Italian dressing and our chewy chicken dinners, which she had thoughtfully allowed to cool. She tossed the plates on the table and left us to peacefully devour our deal. We didn't see her again until we requested the bill. For some reason, we found it amusing to leave a generous tip, which of course, defeated the purpose of the package, but we didn't care. It was fun.
The rest of the holiday was marred with similar off-season products and services. The wax museum was only half open, so we couldn't see the pop stars of the seventies. I didn't think it was a problem, but Sarah pouted playfully. She really wanted to see young Bowie. Meanwhile, the arcade was particularly stingy about spitting out coupons. So much so that Mike, the scraggly-haired repair guy, ended up escorting us from game to game and repairing the devices on demand. In no time, he was acting like an old drinking buddy. He joked and laughed, then, out of the blue, revealed that working at the Niagara Falls Fun Centre wasn't his career choice, that his dream was to be part of a travelling carnival. He desperately wanted to see more of the world, he explained and socialize with a greater variety of "wildlife." Mike winked at Sarah to punctuate his meaning, then began advising her on which games to play.
Sarah was partial to Skee ball and clearly had career potential in the sport, but Mike quickly pointed out that the token-to-coupon payout was not the best. In a furtive whisper, he revealed that The Storm Stopper was your best bet, provided the arcade had left it on its original factory settings. He assured us the ones here were "cool." The game had lights that ran around the outside in opposite directions and you had to hit the button at just the right spot to win. It looked impossible, but Mike was right; if you calculated tokens in versus coupons won, it was the best deal. It only took a little practice to win a minor jackpot every 5 or 6 times.
We would cheer each win as if Toronto had won the Stanley Cup. I would give a quick fist pump and a full lung "Yes!" while Sarah would jump up and down screaming, "WhoooHooo!" Of course, in the end, when we cashed in, "Mike's secret" only bumped us up from a key-chain flashlight to a "deluxe" nail beauty set. Mind you, it did come complete with clippers, scissors, a file AND a cuticle scraper. Not only that, it was all neatly packaged in a paisley-patterned pink and green plastic vinyl case. Mike was so pleased to give us our prize and to be honest, we were thrilled to win it if only to see his broad chicletted smile. It was more of a trophy than a grooming set.
That night, I made reservations for us at a fancy Chinese food restaurant - the Bamboo Garden. When we arrived, we had half-expected renovations of some sort. Instead, the place was immaculate. Gentle pools teeming with goldfish highlighted the epic black and red Ming dynasty decor. Real candles flickered on crisp white tablecloths. Again, the restaurant was virtually ours. The reservations on my part were entirely unnecessary. In fact, as soon as we entered, they knew us by name and guided us directly to our table. A live lounge piano caressed the air, its notes danced vaguely around familiar harmonies until finally, as if prompted by our presence, a song emerged immediately accompanied by the velvet voice of oriental karaoke. It was our song remastered

2023.06.10 03:24 VioletIvy07 Has anyone travelled domestically with an expired ON drivers license (WITH STICKER) as ID

Guys... I messed up and am having a full blown panic attack. Im usually so meticulous BUT...
Im travelling on Tuesday from OTT to Halifax for a super important trip and... just clued in that my licensr AND health card expired last week on my BDay. I didnt get anything in the mail like I usually do either...
I dont have a passport, I always just use my Driver's license.
I hear that getting an emergency passport is impossible these days...
So my plan is to go to a Service Ontario office to get a temporay paper license and have them put a sticker on my photo ID... But I've heard split accounts about it being accepted.
I called Porter and honestly, the lady was pretty clueless and couldnt give a clear answer, but leaned towards no.
Has anyone done this recently with Porter: travelling with expired DL, with the sticker and temporary paper license as ID?
kicking myself so effing hard!!!

2023.06.10 03:15 Specialist-Prior-759 Narcissistic ex BF (36M) has been hacking and stalking me for 2 years now and won't leave me alone. Please help

I'm a 28F currently dealing with a revenge obsessed ex-boyfriend (36M) who has been stalking me online for at least 2 years now and is hell bent on destroying my life. Basically I was his first GF in 7 years at the time and prior to the girl before me who cheated on him he claimed he never had a GF except girls who thought he looked like Harry Potter in middle school. He is 36 and doesn't have a lot of experience with women so the break up is apparently still difficult for him to process even though its 3 years later and we have not spoken except me asking him profusely to stop doing this stuff.
At the time we were dating a few years ago I was dealing with some identity issues during our relationship which I was honest with him about, (identified as bisexual at the time, but was questioning my sexuality). We had some disagreements about it and he would always ask why he couldn't stay over early on in the relationship (~1 month into it). I ended up breaking things off with him after roughly 4 months because I felt like we weren't compatible and also because I had lost my job at the time and was dealing with personal issues on the side (severely depressed, was in therapy for it).
We were friends for a short time after the breakup until things started getting VERY weird. He began circling the road next to my apartment several times per hour EVERY DAY. At the time I considered it strange but had a limited knowledge of technology other than basic CS classes I had taken in the past. The internet would randomly shut off for 30 mins - 1 hour for no reason. I would later find out in the logs the router was being hit with DOS attacks several times per day.
I would also see my documents on Google Drive opened by strange usernames of fake accounts, and eventually had a remote access trojan on my laptop after he sent me photos of us through Google Photos which I suspect he used to infect my computer. He would backspace while I typed, open and close windows, click random things on the screen, and straight up mess with me for several hours per day every day for MONTHS.
Then eventually the computer crashed and would never start again. It was a $1500 Macbook Pro. My new car also mysteriously got something poured in the fuel tank and after a few weeks and several hundreds of dollars of new parts no mechanic could fix the car. My apartment was broken into repeatedly with subtle signs of forced entry but nothing stolen. Examples: Pry marks on the inside of the front door, side door and back door, personal care items like body wash, underwear or bras stolen or moved, coming home to find personal documents like medical records, tax records, and bank info layed out on my bedroom floor shuffled around. I filed police reports each time it happened but couldn't prove it was him.
My car has also been broken into a few times now with my dashcam broken off the mount, hidden under the passenger seat, stick figures taking a dump drawn on my windshield, and nails in my back tire and spare tire. I believe he put a GPS tracker on the car because I have heard someone outside opening and closing the car door but nothing was stolen. So far no mechanic has been able to find a tracker and I couldn't either.
I had to stop using the wifi at my apartment because every device I use on that network gets hacked (multiple different laptops, 2 kindles, and 3 cell phones). I found a keylogger on my M1 Macbook Pro (~$2000) which he also placed persistent malware on and I can not get rid of despite wiping the hard drive 8 times since this January. He defaced my professional website I was trying to use to get a job twice (first time put a pic of nude child and set his hacker username as my bank account number, added a redirect link which I stupidly clicked on and then it downloaded some sort of spyware or RAT onto my device, 2nd time he put up 2 women doing the deed also nude).
He has had remote access to this computer for an unknown amount of time and I can not afford to replace it. My cell phone also booted up into safe mode the next morning and the background was changed on my work/school email account. I tried taking my computer to a repair shop and they claimed if he does have a RAT on it, it is likely hidden on the recovery partition and they weren't able to find it or get it off my computer. This is a $2000 M1 Mac and he already destroyed my previous Macbook Pro which cost me $1500.
I also had to buy a new cell phone after I kept getting creepy phone calls and phishing texts from unknown numbers. When he put the new keylogger on my computer recently I saw where he made a folder which he named the digits of my new phone number. I had just bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy and he already got the new phone number for it and hacked it. He kept enabled the camera and microphone and while I was eating turned on the camera and started recorded me while I was eating. I factory reset the phone and he was still able to control the camera and mic on it.
I have reported him to the FBI IC3 unit 6 times now in the last year and now he is getting cocky about it and knows he will get away with it so he keeps doing it. He knows I am broke with no money and can't afford a new computer, to move away, or to keep buying a new cell phone every month and he seems to get off on trying to destroy my whole life. I have not spoken to him in 3 years now and we do not talk at all. I sent him a FB message telling him to stop explaining to him I have been going through a lot since my sister died a few years ago and just want to be left alone. He keeps doing it and won't stop.
He also recruited my crush who I never mentioned to him to help him with the hacking (my crush is a system admin) and now my crush won't speak to me at all and hates my guts. I have no idea what he said to my crush or how he got them to come after me but they have been going full on nuclear and won't stop. I caught him staking me out a few days ago at the gas station across from a wifi hotspot I was using where he was just sitting there for an extended period of time watching me. Then when I started drive near him he inched his truck like he was thinking about if he was going to follow me or not. He also knows when I come and go at night and drives by my apartment minutes after I get home at different times.
This guy seems to think I owe him something and has a serious problem. He just keeps doing all this and will not stop. While I am not the type of person to do anything crazy back, the police have done nothing and in terms of the hacking there is not a lot they can do. What can I do to at least expose this guy. I don't think he is ever going to stop until he kills me and this has got to stop.

2023.06.10 03:09 Individual-Way7927 I (28M) split with my ex (27F) after years of her having affairs on me, but I forgave her at the time. Do I share the evidence publicly or no, when my reputation is being hit?

Hi all. I (28M) am doing my best to keep a level head, and not do anything rash.
The massively condensed story is that: I was engaged to a girl (27F, engagement in 2020, eight year long relationship) whom I thought was absolutely perfect in evert way. Shortly after COVID started, she had an affair on me when I was medically incapacitated (separate medical issue that had me extra depressed due to feeling handicapped for almost eight months) - I had no idea in the moment, and said affair lasted almost a full year until the affair partner dropped her for another woman. The story of how I found out is wild, and it may be possible I never would have known if I didn't connect dots- I'm too frustrated to expand on this for this post. I have never experienced pain like that heartbreak, and my whole world turned upside down, I was devastated, my concept of trust was completely and totally broken, I truly wondered how anyone could be so evil to do what she had done to me.
I was prepared to leave, she begged me for forgiveness, and after two nights of thinking about "whether I respect myself, or if I love her more than I respect myself," I decided to stay. Both of her parents died when she was a child. It isn't an excuse, but I told myself that if I wanted to be "a good man," I could try to make it work. The following year was not very productive. I made her go to therapy, and in hindsight, should have made us do couples therapy. Marriage delayed for this reason.
I had no idea that she was talking badly about me to all of her friends at the time, but lo and behold, about a year later, I discovered that she was cheating on me AGAIN. I know what you are all thinking, and yes, I know- I am an idiot, I am a loser, I am stupid, I know all of those things, I felt humiliated, used, and could have avoided it all if I left the first time.
I spent a month on my own outside of the apartment and convinced myself that: Because I didn't try couples therapy, there was more I could do. I admit that I did work A LOT during COVID, and my ex was lonely, I know that the first year post-affair, instead of being fully accepting, I would make comments out of spite, I would hold it over her head, my hatred was mixing with my attempts to re-establish our relationship. I found every reason why I wasn't a good enough partner, and made a commitment: I knew it was insane, it was crazy, but I wanted to truly be "a good man," and try, this time, to do the rebuilding the right way. Only showing love, never making snide remarks, trying to take initiative with dates and gifts, being super communicative about my needs and everything I personally had done wrong, I got a list from her about the things she felt were insufficient in the relationship, and I worked on every single one of them to have long-term changes.
I honest-to-god feel like I threw my ego, humiliation, and brain out the door, and was the best partner anyone could have asked for in the last year. I rejected a job opportunity that would have put my work-life balance out of schedule; I did 90% of the cooking and cleaning, I went to therapy on my own, and tried to get my ex to communicate with me more, to do couples therapy, I begged her to tell me the truth and come to me openly, that I would have a therapist act as a mediator if she could not, etc. etc. I got new hobbies to spend time with her, I would take her to get constant pedicures and manicures to show initiation, to try and make her feel prettier, I would try constantly to reflect on every mistake I knew I made, and make a reasonable effort to show long-term improvement. I took my fitness super seriously again and always tried to console my partner when she told me how she didn't feel beautiful because of her weight gain.
Recently, I learned that, in my month-long absence, when I was re-evaluating my life, my ex was telling her friends that I was an abuser, that I got mad because "she DM'd a guy," and to this day, it never ended.
Reddit: I know. I am fucking stupid. I am an absolute fucking loser. I have never shared what happened to me to anyone except my brother after the first affair, and after the second instance of cheating that I discovered, I shared it with two friends. I would tell them that I don't believe my ex was a bad person- I know there were things I could do better, etc. No one in my circle would ever dare to speak ill about my ex because I would defend her even in my darkest moments. I failed a suicide attempt in that month-long period.
My ex and I recently split, and it was because I was tipped off from a friend of hers that decided to have a conscience, that my ex was planning on leaving. The leaving is not an issue; I know that anyone can leave for any reason, and I respect it. But I felt fucking even more humiliated because, after a year of me pouring my heart out, pushing my ego aside, to try and pamper a woman who had multiple affairs on me, with belief that only an environment of love could truly fix this relationship, I didn't care that she was leaving, what I cared was how she didn't even have the gall to tell me directly. I confronted her about it on my own.
I want to reiterate that I understand I am the world's stupidest fucking person. I spent thousands of dollars, hundreds of hours of my time, years of my life, and I could have ended this the first time, almost two years ago, when I found out the first time.
My ex wants to maintain a friendly relationship, but I truly believe, at this point, it is just because she doesn't want her friends and family, let alone others, to know what she did to me. I have held it in for so long, I went to therapy, there are EXACTLY 3 people who I told, who will carry it to the grave.
I truly believe that unless my ex feels accountable for her actions, she will never change. It is hard to "do nothing and be successful," as the greatest revenge, because I know for a fact that her friends bad mouth me, call me names, and it makes me want to pull my hair out because I did nothing to deserve the slander. This city is relatively small. I have an extensive library of screenshots, texts, photos, the whole nine yards that would absolutely devastate my ex if it was publicized.
I wouldn't need to say a single word- it wouldn't be my word versus hers, it would simply be her words versus the "evidence."
I feel like I need to share the intimate details with her remaining family, and maybe her friends (remember, parents died when she was young). I feel as though if they know, she will feel a fraction of what I felt, knowing that her secret is out.
I could go nuclear revenge, send it to her boss, send it to every friend who talked shit about me, post it to her socials in the middle of the night, but I just don't know if that is what my conscience, despite all of this, would allow me to do.
I will be moving out in a few days, with a new job, into a new area, to start my life anew. I am learning to respect myself and to move on. What should I do, Reddit? Do I keep these humiliating experiences to myself (of course, restart therapy), but do I not publicize it, despite knowing I'm being called an abuser by people who know nothing about what I have been through? Despite knowing her family thinks I am the cause for the lack of movement with said engagement?
It honestly hurts. I feel like I have been stabbed in the back so many times, but every time, I cleaned the blade off and tried to take care of the person who stabbed me.
Throwaway account for obvious reasons. Once again, I know that I am a bitch, a loser, a cuckboy, a fucking idiot, all of those things. I hope no one ever has to go through the pain of what I went through. And for anyone who recently discovered their partner cheating on them- just leave. Don't try to fix it. I don't want you to ever be as much of a mess as I am. Leave, respect yourself, if you don't respect yourself, no one ever will. I didn't respect myself, and I paid the fucking price.

Salad And Go has gone way downhill, at least my local one in North Phx has
Edit: The fact this has been posted for less than 15 mins and its already getting downvoted is insane. Look at the picture of the bowl, I'm not making a fuss over nothing. I don't think anyone is going to go to a restaurant pay for food and then accept this when its given to them.
Original post: I've lived near the Salad and Go on 19th ave and Pinnacle Peak for 4-5 years now and go there frequently It used to be great, prices are awesome and you would get decent portions of food. As expected over time prices have gone up and portions have gone down. I've actually noticed this with my salads recently. They used to be so full I could hardly get the dressing to spread when shaking it, now over half the salad bowl is empty space. This morning I ordered a breakfast bowl, picked it up then went home. When I opened it I was shocked, there was hardly any food in it, it looked more like someone's leftovers (image linked below). Usually I try not to be an asshat but at this point this was nowhere near acceptable. I went back to the location and explained, the worker then proceeds to argue with me about how this is a normal portion size. I'm like dude I come here a lot and this is NOT normal. And if it is normal nobody would be paying for this. Long story short I ended up getting a refund which was still about $1.50 short of what I paid but I chose not to pursue it any further but I'm honestly irritated because I go there for breakfast almost every morning and often times for lunch too.
I'll link an image to what my bowl looked like below, please tell me if I was in the wrong here? Is this happening at other Salad And Go locations in the valley as well?

2023.06.10 03:06 Specialist-Prior-759 Narcissistic ex BF (36M) has been hacking me for 2 years now and won't leave me alone. Please help

I'm a 28F currently dealing with a revenge obsessed ex-boyfriend (36M) who has been stalking me online for at least 2 years now and is hell bent on destroying my life. Basically I was his first GF in 7 years at the time and prior to the girl before me who cheated on him he claimed he never had a GF except girls who thought he looked like Harry Potter in middle school.

I filed police reports each time it happened but couldn't prove it was him.
My car has also been broken into a few times now with my dashcam broken off the mount, hidden under the passenger seat, stick figures taking a dump drawn on my windshield, and nails in my back tire and spare tire.

He also recruited my crush who I never mentioned to him to help him with the hacking (my crush is a system admin) and now my crush won't speak to me at all and hates my guts. I have no idea what he said to my crush or how he got them to come after me but they have been going full on nuclear and won't stop. I caught him staking me out a few days ago at the gas station across from a wifi hotspot I was using where he was just sitting there for an extended period of time watching me. Then when I started drive near him he inched his truck like he was thinking about if he was going to follow me or not. He also knows when I come and go at night and drives by my apartment minutes after I get home at different times.
This guy seems to think I owe him something and has a serious problem. He just keeps doing all this and will not stop. While I am not the type of person to do anything crazy back, the police have done nothing and in terms of the hacking there is not a lot they can do. What can I do to at least expose this guy. I don't think he is ever going to stop until he kills me and this has got to stop.

2023.06.10 03:05 Sarah_MOM_2 Please help me solve these issues with my daughter?

Clara is six years old, but she has dwarfism and comes in at 1‘5“ and 17 pounds. Ok. I’m sorry in advance because this is sort of long.
Just like any child, she is wanting her independence. Normally this isn’t an issue at this age, but she is only about an 18 month old in terms of physical development, other than that, everything else is normal. But we are facing a few challenges.
Do y’all have some ideas on our I can help my Clara be able to reach the restroom and the kitchen sink so she can wash her hands by herself? We have tried various combinations of stepstool’s and faucet extenders with no luck. It would also be great if she could see above the countertops, or even reach them.
As far as the restroom goes, everything is way too big for her and we pretty much just have to help clear out with everything in there. We did think about remodeling the bathroom and switching all the fixtures out to child sized, these would last her a long time And wouldn’t need to be replaced probably until she reaches her full height, and even then it might be the perfect height for her still. But we would be remodeling one of our main guest restrooms, so if we did that would adults still be able to use everything in there just fine?
She also struggles climbing up/down the stairs. I guess it’s not the biggest deal, but given her age she wants to do it independently instead of me having to carry her. She can do it by herself, but it’s done ittle kid style and it takes a while, plus it takes a lot out of her. (I don’t even know if there is a solution but anything helps) right now it is just a huge task for her, it takes a lot of effort for her just to climb up one step. The handrail is way too high for her to reach and we also have to watch out that she doesn’t fall through the banisters.
Also do you have any suggestions to help her be able to turn on and off the lights? Right now we are having to do it for her because she isn’t tall enough to reach the switch.
Also when she is sitting at our kitchen table, we can barely see the very top of her hair when we are sitting across from her. Our table is a normal sized one, but relative to her it is huge. I imagine a small for their age 2 year old sitting at a regular sized table and chairs. Ideally we would like to get her sitting up high enough to see over the table and be able to rest are arms on it and eat with us comfortably, All the while being able to get in and out of the chair by herself. She honestly needs a highchair in order to be at the right height, but she is six years old, I think she’s a little too old to be in a high chair.
What should we do about this when we go to restaurants? Usually when we sit at a booth or a chair, we can’t even tell she is there. And we have tried using the boosters they provide but that just raises are high enough to barely be able to see over the table.
What car seat should we be using for her? We are getting her a different car seat and I wasn't too sure which one to get. She is six years old after all, but also 18 pounds. And the height of a toddler. She wants to have with all of her peers have in the car, but I was telling her that due to her weight/height that might just not be possible. Part of me thinks she still needs to be in a rear facing car seat, but I know for her it won’t be cool with a six year old has to be in a rear facing. what is something I could get that would best accommodate what she wants versus what would be the safest?
Also she badly wants to be able to get in and out of the car by herself. But the thing is, She is tiny, and even if she somehow reached the door handle, she isn’t strong enough to open/close it. Plus she is so tiny that I have to put her in her rear facing seat as well as take her out. Remember, this wouldn’t be a big deal but she is six years old, I doubt much can be done about this, but any ideas?
When we go out, this could be to the store, on a trip, etc. At 1'5", Clara quickly gets worn out trying to keep up with us if she is walking, even when we slow down for her. Normally we just put her in a baby carrier,or put her in a kiddie stroller. But she has started to complain about it because she is six years old and wants to be independent, she doesn't want to be carried around or placed in a stroller, so what should we start doing when she gets worn out when she's out with us?
And when she is walking around, especially in public. People aren’t expecting a tiny little toddler sized six year old at times. Is there something she could have/where/hold to be more noticeable, a few time is it she has gotten bumped into out in public because she wasn’t seen.
And lastly, any ideas on how she can be able to reach the door knobs and open/close them by yourself? The handles on the doors are too high for her, plus she isn’t strong enough to open or close them.
Again, normally this wouldn’t be a big deal, but she is six years old. not two.
I’m so sorry for how long this is and I think you very much for taking the time to read it all. Do y’all have advice on all of these issues?

2023.06.10 02:53 GDuarte10 KIA Forum Sold Out

KIA Forum Sold Out
So I've been reading a lot of concern here about the tour and album sales not being that great (that's a given for a album like this honestly).
Checked the tickets yesterday and apparently there were still a lot on sale, but as it turns out the show is sold out in a pretty large venue. So there's nothing to worry my friends, boys are back and strong.
Tweet with the photo: https://twitter.com/MTMontoya14/status/1667299946054443008?t=jQKG3APnTJtq_qGW986Acg&s=19
