So I joined this sub when I went into NC with my ex.

• BU January
• She moved out February
• NC March

I had to live in that house I never wanted (she did and I wanted an easy life, it was in a gangland/crime ridden/mice ridden area) for 2 more months until I could afford my own place moved out 2.5 weeks before the tenancy ended...today.
The day she moved out through her heavy tears she told me she'd be back to help with the painting and the cleaning up. 13 days later all hell broke loose (story on my profile for the details) so I had to do all the painting. After finishing work late I'd journey back over to the old place paint some more, journey to my new home and sleep. The only time her dad contacted me was to say when he'd pick up her stuff, I went back to finish painting the next day and saw scratch marks all over the walls...(her dad was obviously carrying bed frames and heavy wardrobe parts but still...) I took one look and thought, even if it was an accident, the paint can is RIGHT THERE.
Anyway, so apart from dealing with some passive aggressive crap I got finished the house. I did leave some wiping down for her family to do as i knew they'd (not the ex obviously) have to go back to collect the keys and drive them round to the agency so they'd want to do a once over so both sideget their deposits back.I'm all about doing the right thing but come on...I was dumped so obviously I'm going to say you're still pulling your weight here love!
Anyway, when the BU happened her parents were fucking awesome with me but as time got closer to today I was getting reactions to messages rather than messages from her parents (they would initiate first of course) so I noticed a change in their behaviour towards me, then I saw the amount of scratches all over the walls and thought...am I reading into this? But today I know for sure. Not a message from them. Nothing to say, "keys have been picked up"
So I'm (I know family always protects family BUT DAMN I WAS FUCKED OVER SO BADLY I THE BU) certain now I'm being made the villain.
The city was covered in the sun today so I went on a pub crawl with a book and I smoked a massive cigar to toast my longest relationship and my worst ever BU, I ranged my brother, told him all the above (my brother and I have a blunt relationship, we love eachother but we don't mince our words so I can always trust him) and he said, "Mate I love you, but fuck her. We all liked her, she WAS great. But mate, she honestly has shown just how emotionally immature and childish she is in handling this BU. It's a fitting end to know you've been made to be the cunt in this too. Thing is though, when she's ready to process the BU, she'll look back on this and want to fix it and by that I mean have no bad blood, she wouldn't be fucking stupid to believe that she'd have a chance with you again. Now it's upto you how you handle it but remember. - She told you weekly for 4 years she'd never leave you that you were "her future" - She left you - She silenced you about talking about the BU - She left you in that hellhole - YOU HELPED HER FUCKING PACK - YOU EXPLAINED TO HER PARENTS THE REASONS WHY SHE DID WHAT SHE DID AND THEY WOULDN'T HEAR IT YET 4 FUCKING PSYCHOLOGISTS ALL SAID YOU WERE RIGHT - She has been actively avoiding you in public and once you even saw her take a picture of you whilst she was walking behind you on the street - YOU DID ALL THE FUCKING PAINTiNG AND 90% CLEANING - There were marks all over the walls when you went back one more time - And not even a 'got your keys, thanks' from them? FUCK THAT FAMILY.
He was right.
I laughed and said, "want a laugh? (Ex) memory has always been so bad she didn't even tell her dad what things to pick up. When I went to do one last wipe down there was a bunch on stuff still in there EXPENSIVE SHIT TOO her dad probably thinks it's mine 🤣" We had a giggle and he said, "you did everything right in this BU. REMEMBER THAT. Now fuck off, I'm getting a pint myself"
So my brother is right.
A fitting end. A bridge truly burnt. A BU completely designed by her has made me into the bad guy. Backed up by her family. Shown through her and her dad's actions.
Cap doth'd. Bow taken. Chapter closed.

To whomever is reading this, I hope you're doing well and find the right person for your needs. That person may not be me-- I'm certainly not for everyone, but for the right someone? I'd like to be the last dominant, the last person, you'll ever want or need.
I've been in the lifestyle as a dominant for 14 years now. I am open to meeting IRL if we click, but I neither expect nor require it. I am 5'10'', 200 lbs, white, with short blonde hair and a full beard. You may or may not be into my looks. For the right girl, that would be completely secondary, because what I am, most of all, is intelligent, intense, and insatiable.
That could come across as arrogance or baseless bragging. So let me dig into it a bit and explain more what I mean. I am extremely psychological and cerebral in my dominance. Because of my hyper intuition and driven focus to dig into my partner, the connections I form can be deep in a way most aren't accustomed to, and, potentially overbearing. It has been reported that it can feel like my thumbs are pressing down on them or that they're being understood or seen in ways that they've never been before. Of course, this isn't a universal thing, but if we click, you may just notice a similar sensation as well. For better, and at times, for worse.
The main thing to understand is that I will *always* want more of you. More of your thoughts. More of your feelings. Sure, yes, more of your body as well. But not in isolation. It's always tied into other aspects of you. The right submissive will crave that attention. Find comfort and security in it. Addiction and dependency. The wrong one might find it toxic or panic inducing.
I could, truly, go on and on for a while now, but that would just take all the fun out of communicating via chat and other platforms and seeing how we work inter personally. So let me itemize the last few things you need to know before deciding to reach out or not.
-I am fine with all experience levels. I love to teach, train, guide, and condition. -I am find with most body types. Out right big girls usually aren't my thing, but I love curvy, thick, petite, almost everything. What I really seek isn't something artificially apparent, anyways. -My main kinks include: Humiliation, degradation, orgasm control/denial/conditioning, general conditioning, hypnosis, TPE, voyeurism, impregnation/breeding, and light to medium pain play. -I do require the willingness to share pics and verify. Not immediately, no. But in general, if you cant trust and submit to me in such a way, even with some reasonable restrictions or time to build that trust, then this just isn't for you. And that's okay. -I offer three levels of submission. Casual, Standard, and Full. I'm happy to go over them more in detail one-on-one and they aren't *completely* fixed designations. The important thing is to find a dynamic where *we both* can be happy, healthy, and satisfied with the structure and actual happenings that occur. From the lightest to the heaviest of protocols-- and the more the better. -I"m a gamer, a sports enthusiast, a weeb, a poet, an amatuer philosopher(ugh, right?), and someone who loves making people laugh. I am a dominant. That's not all I am.
Ultimately, I believe that submission is a choice. An intimate and incredible gift that is irreplaceable and to be treasured. I certainly have my dark and debatably abusive sides. But just as much if not more so, I am a bright, caring, and supportive person. I want to find someone I can help be the best they can be, just for me. All for me. I hope that's you. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you for reading, and if you took the time to read it all, tell me three random things about you in your opening message to break the ice.

i have generated my own LOD, have no texture packs affecting the environment, the terrain is literally entirely vanilla besides animated objects which are not the culprit of the problem, i did check, so i have genuinely no idea why the z-fighting is this severe, it was not nearly this bad when i played TTW or even straight up vanilla new vegas, so what am i doing wrong? i've tried every ini tweak i can think of as well, and nothing, really don't feel like starting from scratch all over again just to fix this issue when i don't even know how i made it this bad in the first place
fucking kill me holy shit i just want to play the game

Hey all,
Looking for some guidance / suggestions on what I should be doing differently. I’ve smoked 2 butts and 1 brisket so far this spring, on a gravity 980. Typically, I trim, pat dry, apply seasonings (tried two different rubs so far), and let it sit in the fridge overnight. Next morning I smoke all day.
But so far, all three barks this year have been very jerky like, and almost stringy. With quite large smoke rings (it’s a good thing, I know). The brisket I spritz, the butts I didn’t. Doesn’t seem to matter. The two butts the bark was pretty tough, the brisket it was stringy. All jerky like in texture and taste. What could be happening?
I put it in cold straight from the fridge. Is taking on too much smoke? Dirty smoke maybe? I don’t particularly enjoy it, that’s why I’m looking for help.
Thanks!

Hi there fellow redditor.
I'm 34, from sweden. I worked as a nurse in a retirement home for the past 9 years. Since situation in sweden with Healthcare is going to shit, I decided for a change in my life and started working in construction which is to say the least refreshing and I like taking on new challenges in life 😊
I'm looking for someone between the ages of 25-50 to chat. I prefer older women mostly cause I click better with people older than myself but it's not a must.
Otherwise I dabble into gaming when time allows me due to my work. I'm a bit of a nerd, into all the star wars/trek shenanigans. I used to gym a lot before covid but then that flew out the window. I'm a guitar player, used to play in a band.
If you're interested in my physical appearance, I'm 6ft9 tall, dark haired, brown eyes, not slim but not fat either.
If you like what you read in the post don't be shy to write, i answer both DMs and reddit chats.
Would love to hear from you.

PotatoWolfie: Where is it? Who moved it!? Here it is. Universe 76. I've always loved this place. Probably because I am labeled "Heart of the Universe." Eh, I don't think titles really matter.
*Jumps into Universe 76*
PotatoWolfie: There it is. One of my thrones! I love this place!
*Some guy randomly spawns nearby*
Mathew: Wow! What is this place?
*Emma, Josh, and Sophia spawn*
Emma: MATHEW! WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT JUMPING INTO RANDOM THINGS YOU FIND?!
Mathew: You said literally nothing about that.
PotatoWolfie: HEY! You! Outside my palace. Who are you people?
Mathew: Better question, who are you?
Emma: That is the same question.
Mathew: SHUT UP! I am trying to not get us killed.
PotatoWolfie: Oh so you think if I am wearing armor I am going to kill you?
Mathew: You left out that sword of yours. Also I am Mathew. My username is NeonNubula
Emma: I am Emma and my username is-
PotatoWolfie: I know your usernames. Yours is MysticMelody. What kind of usernames are these? Did an Ai generate them for you?
Josh: Yup. ChatGPT. MidnightMarauder is pretty dumb.
PotatoWolfie: ChatGPT? I was joking when I said that. Artificial intelligence can't do that. I have been stuck in here for years and even I know that.
Sophia: You have been stuck in Minecraft for years?

Hi, I’m 17 years old, I have been abused my whole life, my dad beated me up my whole childhood, my mom forced me and invalidated me like the rest of my entourage, I have been sexually assaulted, manipulated and used. I had to battle with severe depression, suicidal attempts, anorexia and bulimia at a very young age, I have a self harm addiction. I have been hospitalized 5 times in this past year, at first it was because of my eating disorders, I was extremely sick, bradycardia, hypokalemia, fainting, extreme weight lost, throwing up way too much etc. I almost died many times, I even end up in the resuscitation room. After my first hospitalization in the Ed unit, they discovered how fucked up I am, I’ve been diagnosed with BPD since I’m 13 years old, I have a lot of psychotic crisis, anxiety, severe depression, anger issues so I can get very violent and all that shit. So the next 4 times I was hospitalized it wasn’t in the Ed unit, but in psychiatry, because the doctors said my case is to severe to put me somewhere else than psychiatry. I have a psychiatrist, and many social workers, I take medication (Prozac and seroquel). 2 moths ago, I got out of my 4th hospit’ 2 days after I tried to kill myself, I lost a lot of blood and I end up in the nearest hospital. And then I got hospitalized a 5th time, and because things are not working and my state keep getting bad and I keep relapsing, The DPJ (départment de la protection de la jeunesse, or youth protection department (in English)) made a request to the court to ask that I stay in the hospital indefinitely, the judge ordered the implementation of this measure. I am so mad, I hate the hospital, I hate the fucking security agents who pin me to the ground and tie me to a stretcher when I'm in crisis. I hate this hospital who I feel like is a prison and now I have to stay here for maybe the rest of my life! Im always locked between 4 walls, I’m so mad that the court, the DPJ and the doctors all decide of my life except me. I tried to run away many times but they always end up catching me. I wanted to finish my studies, have a work, have a family. But now I can’t anymore, they destroyed all my chances of having a future. They think they are helping me because I’m dangerous for myself and no one seem to be able to keep me safe, not even me. But locking me up for years won’t help, it’s just ignoring the problem. I just want to be able to live, able to be happy, I just want to be normal, I wish I wasn’t so sick, I wish I wasn’t so fucked up. I hate everyone who made me like that, and I hate everyone who is keeping me here like a prisoner and pretend they do that for my security and to help me. They just worsen my depression and bad habits of self harm and auto-destruction. What should I do ? How can I accept that they stole my life from me ? How can I try to live like that ? I just want to end it all.

Hi all, just a quick query on CGT registration with Revenue. I was previously registered on ROS for CGT purposes. I've submitted my last 3 returns (2020 - 2022) via mail so I haven't used the online portal in a while, but I want to submit these online from now on. When I check my CGT registration under ROS, it now says "ceased". According to Revenue, this is a non-issue because "Capital Gains Clearance" will still appear on my log in homepage (which it does), but all this does is guide you to submitting an application for CG50As & CG50Bs which I don't need.
Does anyone know what my next steps would need to be to get this registration fixed online? Under my ROS login, when I go to the "Complete A Form Online" section, only CAT and Excise Duty options come up... Where can I submit the form CG1?
Thanks in advance.

Disclaimer: I made a post about this earlier. So I’m sorry to anyone seeing this post again.
I made the stupid mistake of introducing my friends to each. Now every time we hang out I’m ignored and basically third wheeling them. It’s like I watch them hug, compliment each other, hold hands, all that stuff and it makes my heart hurt because I’m the one being left out. I’m happy they became friends but why do I have to be kicked to the curb?
Yesterday I was hanging out with my one friend (28F) and she wasn’t too talkative to me. She didn’t talk to me at all and that really hurt because I don’t know what caused her to not want to be so talkative. Then when my other friend (24F) came along she then decided to be talkative. It’s just the horrible feeling that I’m being ignored and fear if they both stopped like me.
I’m so hurt by the both of them and I wish I didn’t even introduce them to each other. I know that’s horrible to say and I feel bad to even feel that way. But I really wish I didn’t because they make me feel like I’m being left aside. I don’t have many friends which is a heartbreaking feeling. By watching the two of them become so close and ignore me it causes so much pain. I don’t know if I should say something to either of them? I don’t know what to even do to help myself feel better in this situation

Hello everyone, I've been wanting to run a low magic campaign for a while now, but I haven't been able to find anything that fits what I'm looking for.
To explain more of what I mean, I'm looking for a campaign setting where spellcasters still exist throughout the world, but they are few in number. Certain classes like the Bard could maybe have their magic re-flavored as tricks and illusions rather than true spells. As for full-caster classes (wizard, cleric, etc.), their magic is more unstable.
I know that there's a new Lord of the Rings 5e book out now by Free League, so I might look into that one. But if anyone has other recommendations, I would love to hear them.

Hello fellow Hue users,
I got myself a sync box as a present. Now i have a LG G series tv (LG G3 65 inch) and I was wondering if anybody has the light strip attatched to this model as it fits so close to the wall. Also, when this works, what size is needed to cover a 65 inch?
Thanks in advance
