2023.05.27 17:02 Breros Measuring is knowing - Stress monitor
When you want to reduce your stress you need to track your stress and your activities. The activities either stress you or reduce your stress.
You can track using a journal or diverse apps. In recent years your can also track your stress by using a fitness watch with a stress monitor / HRV monitor. I advise you to get one which doesn't make you pay for this function (I have a Garmin).
I used to think my resting heart rate was a good indicator, but now I learned about HRV (Heart Rate Variability). In this video HRV is explained and how it can be used to measure stress: How to Analyze Stress from Heart Rate and Heart Rate Variability?
I'm proud to say my HRV is going up!
The goal of this sub-reddit is to give each other advices about stress reduction by changing our daily activities (so no use of any substances) and sharing knowledge.

He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57The five-year-old soccer goalie of Team One was an outstanding athlete, but he was no match for three or four on Team Two who were also very good and they began to score on him. The goalie gave it everything he had, recklessly throwing his body in front of incoming balls, trying valiantly to stop them. After the third goal was scored against him, he could see it was no use; he couldn’t stop them. He didn’t quit, but he became quietly desperate. Futility was written all over him. After the fourth goal, the little boy needed help so badly, and there was no help to be had. He retrieved the ball from the net and handed it to the referee. Then he fell to his knees and cried the tears of the helpless and broken-hearted. His father ran onto the field and said, “Scotty, I’m so proud of you. You were great out there. I want everybody to know that you are my son.” “Daddy,” the boy sobbed, “I couldn’t stop them. I tried, Daddy, I tried and tried, and they scored on me.” “Scotty, it doesn't matter how many times they scored on you. You’re my son, and I’m proud of you. I want you to go back out there and finish the game. I know you want to quit, but you can’t. And, son, you’re going to get scored on again, but it doesn’t matter. Go on, now.” The little guy ran back on to the field and they scored two more times. But it was okay. I get scored on every day. I try so hard. I recklessly throw my body in every direction. I fume with rage. I struggle with temptation and sin with every ounce of my being - and Satan laughs. And he scores again, and the tears come, and I go to my knees - sinful, convicted, helpless. And my Father rushes right out on the field—right in front of the whole jeering, laughing world—and he picks me up, and he hugs me and he says: “Son, I’m so proud of you. You were great out there. I want everybody to know that you are my son. And because I control the outcome of this game, I declare you - The Winner!” RESPONSE: Today I will rejoice in my Father’s love and support. I will not give up as the battle rages. PRAYER: Thank You Lord for Your love and for declaring me a winner! |
2023.05.27 17:00 Mean_Dust5317 any advice on how to deal with jealousy in relationships?
i’ve been with my boyfriend for over a year, we’re very solid and he’s never done anything to make me think that he would cheat, if anything the opposite as loyalty is a very important thing to him
but there’s this girl in his work who’s interested in the same sports teams as him etc. it started as a joke, the classic “oh is that your other girlfriend” but i’ve found myself now genuinely believing it and i’m worried it’s ruining our relationship
especially after i saw his messages (wasn’t prying his phone just kept going off so i glanced down) and they’d been sending each other like memes/updates about their team and stuff and it just made me feel so uncomfortable as that’s the way he and i first got together. we were just work friends and it started just like that and so i worry that the same thing might happen again and he’ll realise that this girl who doesn’t have all the issues that i have could make him happier
i’m really insecure rn in general, i’ve gained a lot of weight since we got together and that’s a major thing for me as i struggled with an eating disorder badly for many years before i met him so i don’t doubt that plays a part, but there’s also little things he says to me about her that just come across as suspicious but on HER part not his
like she calls him “champ” and “little man” despite being 3 years younger than him, says stuff like “this is why i love working with you” etc, and even things that i perceive to be backhanded like “oh i think me and your girlfriend would get on so well” when based on what he’s told me about her we have literally nothing in common?
anyway i’m not trying to rationalise it i know it’s unreasonable for me to be acting like this i was just giving some more context but does anyone have any advice on how to deal with these issues im having?

2023.05.27 16:50 throwRagfnothere My (23f) gf (25f) bails on every plan we have
So for context, ive been dating my gf for about 8 months now. The last time we saw each other was end of february.
We both have busy lives so its understandable that we can go weeks even monthswithout seeing each other. Recently, I have been inviting her over just to hang out and watch some shows that we started together. These are the kind of dates we both like because we both are homebodies and shes always talking about finishing one of the shows but can't watch it without me there and even at one point I brought up us cooking together and finishing a show but I have brought up outside dates as well (like going for dinner, the cinema etc)
However for the past month, everytime we set a date, something always comes up. Either a family emergency, personal emergency, work emergency or just something that means she cant come. Like i understand these things happen and you cant control them so I'm not that mad about it. However it seems like it happens every single time we make plans and a part of me thinks shes lying about it but I want to give her the benefit of the doubt.
This time, I'm not doing okay mentally and things arent going to well, i just really want to see her because its been nearly 3 months since we last saw each other. I just wanted to hang out, order pizza and just hang out. I told her this, i explained how like this would really like to see her and it would cheer me up. I also said to her that if she cant make it or really doesnt want to go (trying to give her an out) just let me know now and I wont be upset I'll understand. She said it should be fine, she really wants to see me and that nothing is going to stop her from coming. She even took time off work and showed me so that we could possibly spend the weekend together.
Well, today rolls around and yep, you guessed it - emergency happened, family emergency this time and she wont be able to come as this emergency will last the whole weekend and that shes really sorry.
I ended up just crying and replied saying thats fine. Like for the past month I would make plans and wouldnt expect her to come so I couldnt be disappointed but this time I guess I got my hopes up and I was really excited to see her so the hurt I feel is unreal. I know its selfish of me to be upset because family emergencies happen and family comes first. She said she can come next week and at this point i dont want to agree and get my hopes up again. I know bringing it up with her is gonna cause an argument because it will come across like im being selfish.
So how do I bring this up that doesnt make it all about me? What do I say?. I just want her to understand im hurt but not make it about me

2023.05.27 16:30 badfantasyrx Screenshot Saturday
Screenshot Saturday is a fun weekly event that indiedevs hold to showcase their games. When they work on key pieces it gives you an idea about what a game PIVOTS around (it's a real gaming term, pivot points). So whether you're examining a scene from the second person stage perspective or an aerial camera view, it helps to know where the dev put their blood sweat and tears.
Time spent is clues placed, so checking in on it lets you know where the game's story is going to linger, give you places to interact, and provide more information - or action if you die a lot. You can also check out info on the games in their descriptions or from periodicals to get more of the same - but screenshots are just more fun.
Ex: Still Life Article
It's Chicago at the turn of the century and FBI Special Agent McPherson has a very interesting set of cases. They match a set of murderers that her grandfather investigated- in Prague in 1920.
Anyone familiar with the Syberia style of adventure knows how this will unfold. You bounce back and forth as you try to track down the madman killing hookers. His M.O. ? A dark cloak, top hat, and silver mask. His taste has improved since 1920 and he moved up to S & M call girls, but it's the same guy.
Or guys.
Right?
Ironically it would be better if it weren't the same guy. Or if it were more than one person. The body count is at five and the murders are flashy and graphic. It's starting to catch up with McPherson, and that stress and the mini-vacation it prompts are what drops her right on top of the old case files, and the idea that it might be an old family enemy.
Why would you love it? Atmosphere. If you're into atmospheric thrillers, that don't leave you screaming or disgusted, Still Life is an artistic take on the genre. Backdrops are done lovingly, and scenes are implied via musical scores.
Check it out.
(And it won't let me insert a screenshot. Thanks html.)

Hello Pretty trivial question for anyone willing to oblige me. I normally play kvks, decided to give aim lab a try. In kvks I can open my scenario folder and see how many scens I've done in that session / day. Is there a way to do this or keep track of scenarios completed in aim lab? Thank you

2023.05.27 14:21 SLPkitty Clingy kitten bothering older boy
Hi all! I have a 9 year old cat (m) and just adopted a 5 month old kitten (m) about a month ago. I did a slow introduction and have been giving our younger baby a lot of play time in efforts to keep him from bothering our older cat. They have been getting along okay. They don't truly fight, but the kitten will try to wrestle at times which results in some hissing and swatting. This has gotten better since I got him one of those pheromone collars. I think their main issue right now is that the kitten is obsessed with my older cat. He just has no boundaries and wants to follow him around everywhere. If older boy scratches a post, baby runs up to scratch it too. If he gets up for a drink of water, baby runs over and has to drink from the same bowl. It's very cute, but my older cat is obviously annoyed by this and will growl and walk away. Is there anything I can do to help my kitten learn to respect my older cat's boundaries or will this just come with time?

2023.05.27 11:26 EntrepreneurOk5546 ive recently known i made my bf feel like i was making him into a man he wasnt
me (22F) and my bf (21M) have been together for a little more than two years. everything has been smooth and happy, until i had to move a plane ride away for college. the distance made me feel insecure, and i overcompensated through asking for more ‘quality time’ together, unknowingly making him feel like he’s been missing out on life because of this. he told me he enjoyed spending time with friends, family and himself a lot, but he knew i needed that time from him so he obliged and just wanted to make me happy. now he says he’s tired, he felt suffocated, and just doesn’t want to be with someone who restricts him to be himself in the future, essentially saying he is failing to see my worth in his life for now. however, he told me he still loved me that’s why it has been extremely hard for him to open this up. i understood where he was coming from and have been really apologetic about all that has happened.
we have recently talked and decided that we would try again, with me promising to make him feel that i support him and am giving him enough space for his “me-time” in any way i can. i am determined to do better by him and want to support him but i just feel incredibly sad that we would only talk for a couple minutes in a day and i would be reaching out for a connection the whole time. what advice would you give me to overcome this? i am determined to be supportive of him but how do i deal with the loneliness myself? and in what ways can i show that i care for him and give him the support he needs? tyia

2023.05.27 10:27 Cute_Ad_5135 AITA for being upset my best friend keeps talking about his last relationship?
I'm using a throw away account for this because I'm pretty sure he uses reddit!
So, I (f 20) have been very close with my friend Aaron (m 23) for about 7 months now. Him and I met on an online game (not saying which for anonymity). We met a few weeks after his ex had dumped him (they had been together for about 2 years), and we hit it off immediately! Me and him have been closer then to peas in a pod. Me and him have an incredibly healthy friendship! I think because of this, a few months back I fell in love with him. He is the funniest, kindest, most supportive, handsome man I've ever met. He always takes my feelings into consideration and never argues! If we disagree on something we talk through it to find a solution that works best for the both of us or, just agree to disagree!
Now, a few months into us being friends me and him had both been drinking and we both started talking about we had feelings for the other person. However, he is a very light weight and didn't remember this in the morning. A week later he got a text from his ex and they got back together. His ex never liked me and out of respect for their relationship we stopped talking for about a month. One day I got a text from a mutual friend who always joked about me and Aaron being together. In this message it was a screenshot of our mutual friend and Aaron talking about how Aaron broke up with his ex again and wanted to get back in contact with me but wasn't sure if I would be ok with it. Long story short me and Aaron started talking again and almost as if we had never stopped talking clicked like legos. However, with in that month we stopped talking I started dating this not so great guy that broke my heart in the end (relevant for later)
Recently Aaron told me that he's always had feelings for me, and it was one of the reasons his ex and him broke up. We talked and we realized our goals in life lined up like the stars. And how neither of us have ever met someone they click so much with. We decided that we wanted to start dating after both of us had completely healed from our last relationships to be the best version of ourselves for each other. Me and him always do small things for each other now such as writing each other small notes and sleeping on call every night. However, he's been talking about his ex and the heart break of it lately. I always have and always will be there to support him through this because I know how painful it can be as I am also going through it (I know that it's not near the same because of the length of time they were together). I know and fully trust that we won't get back with her, but it still hurts to listen to him talk about another girl. I feel absolutely terrible for feeling upset about this. Him and I have been nothing short of a fantasy, so I feel bad for being upset over this. So reddit AITA yes or no? And what should I do?
Note:
Sorry if the format of this is bad! English is a little bit of a struggle for me!
Him and his ex were online.
I happen to be incredibly lucky and am moving to his city in the next few months for school! (we're both over the moon lol)

2023.05.27 09:15 Sundiata34 Coming up on my migraine's birthday
I'm new here, wish I'd thought to come here sooner but I guess it's only been a few weeks that I've known what this is, which also makes me even dumber than I originally thought I guess.
I've had a really really bad year, I guess I'm looking for a bit of venting/commiserating and advice for anyone willing to chug through the mess to follow.
Roughly a year ago, I engaged in some extreme self harm, I ended up with a severe concussion as a result. As it would happen, I led a chaotic life when I was younger, I'm 33m now. Wrestled in HS and college, did a lot of dirt biking and mountain biking (poorly), and was generally accident prone- so I'd had what was likely many concussions before, and been knocked clean out unfortunately for a few minutes on at least 3 occasions. None of those had ever really fazed me head trauma wise in the past though, but this one did. Boy howdy did it.
My balance was wrecked, I was hiding from light like a vampire, dizzy, nauseous, head pounding with pain constantly, and incapable of even simple tasks it felt like. A quick trip to the grocery store would put me down for 2-3 days. This continued forever it felt like- but some things improved quickly though- my eye tracking, balance, and quick thinking all improved, yet I still continued to have constant headaches, dizziness, and light sensitivity.
It took me 6 months after the incident to be able to see a neurologist the first time. They fixed up my meds a bit and things got a little better. It took nearly 6 months to see them again, and I was in a pit of despair.
You see, people talk about headaches with that 's' at the end, like individuals that come and go, and I guess it used to be that way with me too. I got headaches occasionally like anyone else, I even had a bout with migraines for a year or so when I was 17. This past year though had been different, I haven't had headaches. I've had one headache. I've had it the entire time- sure it waxes and wanes, but it's never, ever, gone. It's there so day, every day. Waking, sleeping, resting or working. It's a constant companion, I almost feel like I should name it at this point.
When I saw the neurologist again a few weeks ago, they told me they believe that my concussion triggered a severe chronic migraine disorder. Which, gee, I feel like I should have started putting puzzle pieces together sooner myself, but I've just let it be some existential head trauma that wasn't healing and had no end in sight till now. You won't find many willing to testify to my intelligence.
It's damn liberating to finally know what it is and have angles to attack it from, and thankfully my wife has good insurance, she's dragged my useless carcass through all of this. The triptans all killed me beforehand, so they've got me looking at injections. Ubrelvey worked wonders- it's the closest I've been to not having a headache in a year. Most days I start around a 4 or 5 and end around 7 or 8 unless I exacerbate it by doing something, but an ubrelvey cuts it back to a 4. Unfortunately insurance won't let me have aimovig and ubrelvey, so I have to give it up to try the injections... Acupuncture has actually worked quite well too, I tried it for the first 2 times over the last 3 weeks.
I have real hope for the first time in so long, but at the same time knowing the likely limitations of the injections, it also feels like the last of my hope is dying. I've had this headache for so long, almost a year to the day, I don't remember the exact date, just that I went strawberry picking that day- I'm wondering if this headache is now just a permanent partner in my life, and I don't know how to deal with that. That thought is crushing me almost as much as the headache itself, or my inadequacy as a spouse and father resulting from it all. I'm failing so many things and my family every day, and I'm just an angry and bitter burden on them. I hate that so much, but there's seemingly no positive outcome for them- they're either stuck with this broken shell, or would have to deal with the horrible fallout of how I chose to leave. I haven't given up just yet, trying to take it one day at a time... I'm just really struggling.
To another day, and another way to disappoint the ones we love.

I've had a really really bad year, I guess I'm looking for a bit of venting/commiserating and advice for anyone willing to chug through the mess to follow.
Roughly a year ago, I engaged in some extreme self harm, I ended up with a severe concussion as a result. As it would happen, I led a chaotic life when I was younger, I'm 33m now. Wrestled in HS and college, did a lot of dirt biking and mountain biking (poorly), and was generally accident prone- so I'd had what was likely many concussions before, and been knocked clean out unfortunately for a few minutes on at least 3 occasions. None of those had ever really fazed me head trauma wise in the past though, but this one did. Boy howdy did it.
My balance was wrecked, I was hiding from light like a vampire, dizzy, nauseous, head pounding with pain constantly, and incapable of even simple tasks it felt like. A quick trip to the grocery store would put me down for 2-3 days. This continued forever it felt like- but some things improved quickly though- my eye tracking, balance, and quick thinking all improved, yet I still continued to have constant headaches, dizziness, and light sensitivity.
It took me 6 months after the incident to be able to see a neurologist the first time. They fixed up my meds a bit and things got a little better. It took nearly 6 months to see them again, and I was in a pit of despair.
You see, people talk about headaches with that 's' at the end, like individuals that come and go, and I guess it used to be that way with me too. I got headaches occasionally like anyone else, I even had a bout with migraines for a year or so when I was 17. This past year though had been different, I haven't had headaches. I've had one headache. I've had it the entire time- sure it waxes and wanes, but it's never, ever, gone. It's there so day, every day. Waking, sleeping, resting or working.

Introducing: The AdSkills Pro 5 Level Progression MatrixLevel 1: First Time Ad BuyerYou’ll start out by learning the bare basics of getting your first digital ad live. If you already have a facebook account or a gmail account, then you’ve already got the first steps. You’ll walk away from this level knowing the vocabulary you need, the digital accounts you’ll need, how to reach a target prospect, track your success, and set your campaigns live.
Level 2: Junior Ad BuyerAt this level you’ll go from learning to mastering the basics. You’ll start working towards replacing your income. This is where you’ll get experience under your belt with our monthly mentor calls. You’ll walk away from this level knowing how to launch your agency website, create your case study, build a pipeline of leads for your agency, and sell a systematic ad buying service as a junior ad buyer. Or land a job working at an agency to get paid while you learn the industry better.
Level 3: FreelancerThis is the level most of the industry is at, where people are able to confidently work from home. At this level, you’ll easily be able to acquire clients at $2500/month. This is the level when you start learning to filter your clients and qualify your leads so you can acquire only the best clients. You will transition from the “hunter” to the “hunted” at this level. Meaning clients will begin coming to you, instead of you chasing them.
Level 4: Senior Ad Buyer or Marketing DirectorBy this stage you’ve built a full tool chest of skills, and assistants to help you deliver for your clients. At the end of this level you’ll have duplicatable systems to scale your services. You’ll have a content plan that positions you as an industry expert. You’ll have a mastery level of understanding ad buying and marketing setting you up for the largest and most lucrative career paths.

If you desire, you’ll even start getting speaking engagements either at industry conferences or on podcasts. The most lucrative career paths will be available to you.
Plus These 3 Agency Bonuses📷 Bonus #1: Rapid Replace Yourself KitYou’ll grow much faster if YOU aren’t doing all the work. With this kit you’ll have every tool, document, and system to hire your first 10 team members.You’ll have every job ad already written for you and every task they should be completing itemized out line by line. You don’t have to think about what they should be doing, just hand them these documents and they’ll know how to get started. Imagine if they also graded their own performance for you – YEP THAT’S INCLUDED! You’ll get our quarterly self-review system where they grade their own performance on each task they are supposed to be doing. This is the ultimate accountability system and all you have to do is look over their grades to decide where they need help. 📷 Bonus #2: Search & Destroy Client Getting SystemClients will see you as the ambulance here to save them after you apply this strategy. My close friend who worked at Google teaches this lesson.When he left Google and started his own ad agency, he needed to get clients quickly. This is the same strategy he used. It’s a very low friction method, meaning you do not need to be a salesperson to do it. You’re literally, just showing people where they are losing money and then asking them if they’d like any help fixing the mistake. Inside you’re learn every step of this process. How to find the report inside Google ads that shows where they are losing money, how to execute the meeting, and how to fix the problem. We’ve had some students build their whole agency doing nothing but just this one method that we include as a bonus. It’s our “dummy proof” plan and that’s why we include it. To make sure that there is at least one method that is so easy, literally anyone could do it. If you know how to use email and start a zoom meeting, then you already have all the skills you need to do this “search and destroy” method. 📷 Bonus #3: Expert InterviewsAlong with our 5 level progression training, we’ve added 4 interviews with millionaires who’ve already done what you are about to start.Inside these interviews you’ll hear their story of how they started, how they structure their current ad agency, and how you can follow in their footsteps. Not just one, not two, not three, but we’ve secured 4 of these experts inside. You’ll get to learn from all 4 of them in addition to the training you’ve read about above. |
2023.05.27 07:50 Quiet-Librarian-5985 Something peculiar happened on a paradise planet (Outlaws content question)
Hello fellow Travellers, I have a question and a somewhat lengthy tale first. So I've finished Atlas and Artemis paths and now want to get into Outlaws content. Most of it I googled and checked Youtube, but yesterday a peculiar thing happened.
I returned to a paradise planet which I found before to explore it a bit better and found a crashed ship. Dying merchant on board gave me a contraband relic. Immediately forgetting all that I have learned so far about Outlaws I boldly tried to fly to the space station and got scanned by authorities. Laid a ton of bricks and restarted from the checkpoint. Then I've switched ships, putting away the one with contraband, happily went to space station->freighter->station and the rest is history. Why station and not simply a trading post on the same planet - I wanted to check the prices in different star system.
Free of contraband I went on exploring the planet but after barely getting in the air the damned authority scan started again and I executed a speedy emergency landing onto the grassy hill. Checked all inventories for contraband, found nothing except for one treasure and couple X-upgrades, tried to fly again, again got scanned and landed before it finalised.
It took me switching ships multiple times, emptying inventory and loading it back before those scans stopped ringing in the air when I was flying my main ship again.
Question 1: is this normal, that scan initiates on a crystal clear of contraband ship or is this a bug? I was very eager to get into the shadow content but I'm not really interested to repeat this particular experience. After I got rid of contraband I had only one excavated relic and two X-upgrades, which can be ringing the bells, but other reddit articles say it shouldn't.
Question 2: if an authority scan ringing it means that they're really out to get me, right? never happens that it ends with "sorry, our bad, you're free to fly away you squeaky clean Traveller"?
I understand it's a bit of a lengthy tale and boring read, but can someone explain what went wrong after I sold the contraband relic and how can I avoid this happening again if I still want to try outlaw content.

2023.05.27 06:32 Competitive-Guava291 please, I can't afford a therapist so I need you, reddit user 🙏
So I've been trying to build my business for the past four years and realistically, I haven't achieved what I hoped I would. I actually started this journey because I was lost in terms of what I wanted to do and my parents were also Startin up their business so it felt right.
But now, as time continues to pass I realize that I find myself questioning many times throughout my day if there's something more to life. I started my business to eventually have financial freedom, thereby having a world of possibilities in the future. But honestly, I'm not a big fan of the work I do.
Part of me wants to stop and look for other opportunities, do something I actually love. I've asked myself if I'm actually happy waking up every morning, and the answer is I stay up late at night because the sooner I sleep, the sooner I have to face my reality.
Is this me just not being able to push through tough times or is this just not the path for me?
I've invested too much time into my business and haven't really done what I'd like to do due to the commitment I've had. I'm 25, started at the age of 21 and I feel like if I haven't fully lived my years due to the constant delayed gratification mindset I have.
It's hard trying to come up with a decision because my whole family and all of my friends know how much I've put into this endeavor so I know they'd call me a failure if I ever decided to start a new path.

2023.05.27 06:20 aboutagirl0 think I’m crushing on my coworker.. F22 & M33
A few weeks ago I started a new shift at my job where I met this guy.. He is quite handsome and a overall very kind and funny guy, a bit older than me.. but I’ve grown to kinda like him over the course of these last few weeks.. we talk pretty much on the daily about all kinds of things ranging from asking about how each others days/weekends are, to just random questions about each other, he even asks me if I need help with anything (inside and outside of work),etc etc. We also started to refer to each other by nicknames.. He often compliments me and He also tends to ask me what my plans are for the day and seems a tab bit jealous if I’m around other guys. He is very sweet and It’s honestly gotten to the point where I kinda miss him if I don’t hear from him for a day or so. Sometimes I get the impression that he likes me, like when we’re about to leave for the night and he’ll nonchalantly advise that I can “text him later if I want..” etc.. but we have yet to make any plans with each other outside of work and now im worried im reading too much in between the lines. I’m starting to crush on the guy, but I don’t want to fall too deep down the rabbit hole if he ultimately doesn’t like me and wants us to have a platonic relationship (which I would completely understand and ultimately would rather have us remain on good terms as friends rather than nothing at all). I just wish I knew how he felt about me.. a penny for your thoughts? TL;DR

2023.05.27 06:07 Ichigoazn Pest control recommendations or DIY recommendations?
Hello!
I live in Oregon, Portland-Clackamas area, and have been dealing with some longterm issues with my parent’s house. Our current pest issue is that we have a sugar ant infestation and a recurring carpenter ant infestation.
I believe the carpenter ants managed to make a lot of tunnels and access points in our walls for all of the sugar ants to explore and enjoy.
I apologize in advance for the poor story telling, I’m really just looking for some help.
To give some background, our house is only about 23-25 years years old (i think? Parents built it a few years before i was born). Exterior is mostly wood painted over and has sustained water damage (unsure how to repair). We have 5 fruit trees that surround near the exterior of our house and a lot of indoor plants with one that frequently secrets a sugary sap that the ants LOVE. We had carpenter ants for about 6 years before we finally sought professional help (2012-2018).
In the past, we had a company named Axiom treat our house for carpenter ants as there would be about 10-20 scurrying around our living space daily. We were with them from 2017-2018 with a contract of 3 years (ended early and had to pay a severance because i did not like their quality of service, noted later).
They managed to completely eradicate the carpenter ants (to my knowledge) within the first year and we were very grateful. Unfortunately, the next year, we would get service calls where they would say they treated our property, but I was always home to watch the house and on more than one occasion the pest control technician would park I front of our house, sit there for a few minutes, and then leave. That same day, we would receive a message saying that they treated our house when they obviously did not.
We’ve stated having this sugar ant infestation starting 2020 and there’s been no end in sight. Occasionally, I would see a few ants manage to get up to our third story and hang around in the bathroom. For the most part they will come in SWARMS to the kitchen area and indoor plant area if we do not catch the explorers before hand.
I’m kind of at my wits end for what to do. I’ve tried plugging up entry points with Vaseline, keeping the house clean and tidy 24/7, set out terro liquid ant bait, and spraying exterior entry points with pest killing chemicals.
I understand that the main root of the problem is the fruit trees feeding, the excess water leakage SOMEWHERE giving life to the ants and damaged wood giving them entry points. But with my skillset and our financial situation, it is not realistic to fix the water damaged wood, now can I rid of the trees because my mom will not let that happen.
Please help me figure out the best company I can worm with to treat this problem or cheaper alternatives I can take to do it myself.
Thank you for the read and I appreciate you for getting this far. X2 if you have any recommendations!

2023.05.27 05:38 Constant-Benefit-735 Please help need to know how to make new friends
Im 18m use to have a half decent friend group that broke off over time. Stayed in contact with one of them but i feel like he takes the piss and chooses better options that suit his social benefits over doing shit with me. Also seems to come to me when hes having mental health problems as we have common ground, such as OCD, but he never seems to want anything to do with me when hes up. Its as if im his fucking therapist or something cuz he knows ive been through alot but is never really there for me. Ive struggled with depression, insecurity due to feeling undervalued as a person, passive suicidal ideation, anger issues due to mental stress, no desire to socialise due to social issues in the past. How do i make new friends, i can talk to people but doesnt seem to go past that. I also struggle talking to women. My only hope at the moment is the gym and work. Im seeing a social behaviours therapist aswell but would like some other ideas

2023.05.27 05:33 Dj_acclaim How have your results with women and your game changed due to nofap?
To anyone who got into nofap, partly as a way to help be better with women and pull more and are now getting better results with women.
What effects do you think Nofap specifically have on your game and what links have you noticed between nofap and game? How has your game improved? What other habits and changes have helped that?
My story is, I always leaned on fap and always felt, if I can't pull in a club or while I'm out I can just pull at home. It wasn't healthy because it showed I never really wanted to pull. Basically if I wanted to pull more women my want and desire for that would be the driving factor that pushes me to quit fapping completely and push myself into completely consistent healthy habits.
Meditation has really helped me keep on track, Twim specifically. That's basically helped me be present, clear my mind, gain the best understanding of what I truly want and how to get it and remove unnecessary thoughts and feelings from my self. Now I can focus on the stuff I really WANT, which in the process makes me not sweat the small stuff and get my basic NEEDS met at the same time.
Thing is, as much I know and believe quitting will help, another part of me feels like I need to train myself to last longer and be better at sex in general, especially when it becomes more consistent in my life. In turn, I went about 2 weeks or so nofap, then fell back into it in an on and off manner. I'm gonna go back into stopping now and feel comfortable I'll have little trouble with it.
What I'm just looking for now, the other benefits I can't see beyond me gaining this constant lustful desire, which I'm working to better control so I can harness it at will to get what I want. So if anyone can help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated for your time and effort.
Apologies if this is a very specific question only certain people can answer, but maybe someone here might be able to assist. So the questions hopefully may find me some worthwhile answers.

2023.05.27 05:03 Economy-Wasabi-194 Fight it or deal with it?
So essentially my leasing agent quit recently unexpectedly because of a personal thing. Then I had Monday-Thursday off this past week. Then I returned to work on Friday and my property manager didn’t check any of the property emails, check in with prospects or do monthly close out (until I reminded her). Then she told me that I’ll be working every weekend until further notice when they hire another leasing agent per our regional manager. Which would allow me to have Mondays off. But it seems like when I miss a day then things don’t get completed and I have to spend extra time to catch up. I told her that since it’s not something that’s typically apart of my responsibilities then I’d like to get overtime pay for working the next weekends and I’ll work on Mondays. She said she’d talk to the regional manager to see if that’s allowed. I did also ask if it were possible for her and I to switch every other weekend. She said that since she’s salary and the property manager that she’s not allowed to. I’m not sure if that’s true. But I’d be happy to let her have the Monday off if she wanted to. If we were able to switch off. My concern is that the most recent hire we had took 2 months to actually be able to start. And I don’t have a deadline of how long I’ll be expected to do work every weekend. And since my leasing agent left I’ve been doing all the leasing stuff and my tasks as well so it just feels like I’m getting handed all the these tasks and I’m expected to deal with it and I don’t have an option to say no. However, it’s just her and I working in the office right now. So I’m not sure what to do. I’m fine working every other weekend. Should I try to fight it or just deal with it?
