Who is lincoln loud girlfriend

Kitchen table poly dude looking for new friends. Not a euphemism for anything, actual friends. I'm open to it being more down the road if it makes sense, but I'm not seeking that out. I'm specifically looking for poly friends (which is why I posted here) because its a big part of my life and I'd prefer to have people who can relate, from experience, to the things that come along with that.
About me: I'm 38, brown hair, hazel eyes, not fat but not fit, on the taller side, and frequently described as a teddy bear. I'm happily married, a proud dad (with the bod and jokes to match), extrovert, and eternal hobbyist. Reading, writing, woodworking, hiking, camping, cooking, baking, board games, video games, DIY, concerts, hockey (Hurricanes), football(NCSU\Panthers), Star Wars, LOTR, Harry Potter, Doctor Who... really almost anything geeky or nerdy. My interests are varied and I like it that way. This list isn't even close to comprehensive.
I might overuse commas sometimes. Possibly, maybe, all the time. I love having chats that wander off into philosophical tangents and/or over analyzing movies and shows. I communicate via TikToks, memes, and emoji more than I should. I'm a connoisseur of terrible jokes and horrible puns and love groans and eye rolls every bit as much as laughter. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Self improvement is important to me, and I'm constantly trying to be a better person. My therapist even says I'm "well adjusted". Not that I don't make mistakes or have room for improvement, working on yourself is a process that never really stops, but I'm generally happy with the kind of person I am and proud of the work I've put in to be that way.
Ideally looking for people to form deep and lasting friendships with. I want to hear about your day, what's happening in your life, your random thoughts, and the things that bring you joy as well as having space for me to share those too. A shared sense of humor, common interests, open communication, emotional maturity, empathy, effort, and being willing to listen to each other even when we disagree are all very important to me. Someone I can nerd out with as easily as I can joke with. If you're local to the Raleigh area that's awesome, but definitely not required. Online friends are real friends too.
Other stuff if you're curious: * Neurodivergent and loving it * Overtly liberal and likely to grate on your nerves if you aren't * Sense of humor ranges from incredibly lame to super dark * Open book, you can ask me anything * Honest but not in a mean way * Agnostic but not personally spiritual * Respectful of others spiritual beliefs * Clear and direct in communication * Optimistic and positive but not naive * Talkative by nature, both in person and via chat * Does not make demands of others time * Open to emotional investment (platonic or not) but not clingy * Has kids and absolutely adores them * Sets clear boundaries and expects (and respects) the same * Empathy in abundance * Introspective and philosophical * Likes cats and dogs, has neither, but the feeling is usually mutual * Demisexual\Aceflux: I can be flirty, but I'm very slow to go further than that * Really want to emphasize this: not looking for anything NSFW * Astrology: Cancer Sun, Leo Rising, Pisces Moon * Meyers-Briggs: ENFP-A (The Campaigner) * Respects people of all races, genders, sexual orientations, relationship statuses, and ENM styles * Does not tolerate intolerance * Prefers Telegram but open to other chat apps

Before the mods get onto me for posting this here instead of the megathread, this isn’t just about TOTK.
It’s like this with zelda and with animal crossing. And maybe sandbox isn’t the right word. Just the whole “do whatever you want with the game” sort of mindset. It’s great for some people who just want to be creative, and I enjoy finding new ways to do things in games like in TOTK, and finding interesting ways to decorate like in New Horizons. I just also miss feeling like I’m in the world I’m playing in.
With animal crossing, the dialogue and gameplay was lackluster to make more room for customization. It makes sense, but I don’t understand why we couldn’t get both from the start. It’s all about the new crafting features and landscaping. It’s cool, and I can forgive that because the decorating part of animal crossing has always been a huge factor to the games.
In terms of the new zelda game, I wanted something new and exciting, but it feels like they just sort of gave into the whole sandbox fad that so many other games have nowadays. It’s fun but I want to feel like I’m on an adventure, not playing a sandbox game.
The wonkiness of the building features has sort of prevented me from being immersed in the game. It feels out of place, like I’m using exploits. Which is basically what everyone did in BOTW, which is cool for those people, but it doesn’t feel like I’m playing Zelda anymore. With BOTW I could understand, it’s hard to make that switch to open world while also slowly implementing new items. It makes sense the powers that are needed to solve the puzzles, I get that. Same for TOTK. I get it. You have to have some way for people to get around and solve puzzles. I just wish it wasn’t so centered around the building aspect.
I haven’t played enough to really complain. I just miss having fun and interesting characters following me around commenting on what’s going on, or having a loftwing to call on, or masks that give me crazy abilities. It feels lonely to me, I wish there was more than just mechanics keeping me interested in these games

Have I not reason, beldams as you are,Saucy and overbold? How did you dareTo trade and traffic with MacbethIn riddles and affairs of death;And I, the mistress of your charms,The close contriver of all harms,Was never call'd to bear my part,Or show the glory of our art?And, which is worse, all you have doneHath been but for a wayward son,Spiteful and wrathful, who, as others do,Loves for his own ends, not for you.But make amends now

I am a fan of Henry ‘Hank’ Lockwood. I regularly consume his content and consistently root for his personal development and professional success. I cheered him as he learned to read on air, I supported him when he was simultaneously banned from every rideshare service, and I felt his despair when he was cucked by a coworker who routinely cosplays as a homeless man. But, whatever you feel about Hank, it is undeniable that his transformation from an uneducated drunken masshole into a legitimate corporate powerhouse is nothing short of amazing. I for one hold Hank in high esteem.
However, it is because of this high esteem that I must question Hank’s recent lottery ball “win”. Without mincing words, I do not believe that Hank’s recent “win” was legitimate, and I feel that everyone is overlooking obvious issues in order to gift Hank a victory. Moreover, I do not believe that this gift comes from a place of respect, but instead comes from a misguided sense of pity. To be clear, Hank does not need pity victories. He is not a charity case, he is not legally disabled, he can claim victories on his own.
On the May 12, 2023, episode of Pardon My Take, Hank was credited with correctly predicting the Lottery Ball. However, Hank only selected the winning number after receiving direct material assistance from another person. Specifically, Hank established specific intent to select a non-winning number, but another person interceded, taking this non-winning number, and allowing Hank a second selection. After receiving this help, Hank went on to select a different, and ultimately “winning” number. Selecting the correct number with help from another and effectively being granted two selections should not result in a “win”. Rather it should result in a rules violation and a general penalty. To use a sports analogy, this situation is akin to a violation of PGA Rule 10.2b – Other Help.
I do not know why everyone else discounts this line of thinking especially given that Hank agrees that his win is not legitimate. Upon “winning” Hank responded “you forced me into getting it . . . like if you could have, if you would just let me do my thing, I wouldn’t have gotten it . . . I thank you forever, that is one of the best things you’ve ever done for me”. Hank does not say I won of my own skill and merit, rather he says you’ve done it for me, you caused me to win. Hank is too good to accept “victory” on these terms he does not need the charity. The “win” is not legitimate, and it should be stricken.
I don’t know how everyone feels about this issue, but on the next episode of Pardon My Take I’d like BigCat ask each person on the show if they have gotten the Lottery Ball unassisted and see how everyone responds. I think that Hank will agree that he was unfairly assisted in his “win” and commit to proving himself by winning on his own.
You are better than this Mr. Lockwood. Do it. It’s easy for you. Do it on your own and prove the haters wrong.

Hello all, I'm trying to find a martial art for my girlfriend and I to try together. I have done a few different martial arts throughout my teens and now that I'm finishing up college I'd like to get back into that lifestyle. I'm trying to get my girlfriend to try it out aswell.
She is very small (only about 4'10) so I am wondering what martial arts may be good for smaller individuals. Also ones that don't focus on knocking anyone unconscious would be preferable.
I was wondering if anyone had suggestions based on this information. I was thinking maybe Judo or something similar but does anyone else have any other suggestions?

Hello, I was looking for a beta reader (or readers) for a short story I’m working on. I know there's betareaders, and no offense to them, but I want to ensure that I get a quality beta reader who really knows what they're talking about and can give me good feedback. I know there are a handful of sites where you can pay them a bit and they give professional feedback, but is that really the place to go? Where have you all found the highest quality beta reading?

I think it is too ridiculous to think that ghosts and demons actually exist, and I post it here since most of those people who make those claims are religious people.
Claiming to have supernatural encounters proves that you may have schizophrenia or use hallucinogen drugs (there are some mushrooms and other plants that can produce those effects, and they can be deadly), I have studied drugs when I was younger and this makes me happy of not liking mushrooms.

This morning Slate re-published this article from Broadcast magazine, and led me to this subreddit. Although I already knew about the concept of limerence, I hadn't realized just how many people felt the same way as I have for literally decades: that it can be a curse. I understand that for some it has been, or can be, a positive experience, but for me it's been a nightmare. I cannot count the number of bad decisions and negative episodes I've had since childhood--culminating in a period of almost unstoppable mania during my college years--that I now blame for a lot of the sadness that I've been working through for so long. Finding out that I'm not alone is a godsend, though of course my heart goes out to anyone who has had similarly negative experiences.

Hi guys,
I will start working as an assurance associate this fall at the Vancouver office.
Is there anyone who knows when the start date is?
I just got an email from PwC CPA centre that the start date will be September 5th, 2023.
I will be out of Canada until September 9th, expecting that the start date will be Sep 11th, since most of the time, it has been the second week of Monday so far.
I don't want to believe this is a firm date, since I need to book a new flight ticket, which is very expensive now just because of 4 days difference.
Please let me know if you've heard about the start date...

i've always been a closed off person i don't trust really anyone not friends and especially not family. this is probably related to the different experiences i've lived in life. i've never really had an issue with it though i have plenty of friends and make them easily but throughout my life and more so lately i've had people tell me that they struggle to connect with me and that i struggle to communicate. even my therapist has said this to me! which i'm kind of thrown off by because i've always felt all my relationships are fine.
lately though my 2 best friends have been trying to get me to open up more to them. they both know i struggle with my mental health and self harm but not by my choice they found out by accident a year ago after seeing some cuts by accident. ever since they've been trying to get me to open up more to them. but the honest truth is i don't want to. it's not that i don't care about them i do and i do have some trust with them it's just that i don't want to have to share my trauma and problems with them. but they constantly are saying they feel like they don't really know me and can't connect with me but i've told them everything im comfortable with people knowing.
i don't understand how to be more open. im so closed off to the world because the people who i trusted so much as a kid hurt me. i don't want to get too close to people because no one can actually be trusted. i don't know how to get this across to my friends without it being off putting or rude. i don't want to explain to them that i don't trust people because i was abused i prefer to keep that hidden from the world and i really don't think they would understand all the confusion and difficult feelings that i have to deal with. i fear the judgment that comes from people who just don't understand what it's like to live with all the shame of abuse.

I'm currently mid way though restoring a Ferguson TEA20 and I've been having a bit of trouble with the paint side of things- I'm using two coats of synthetic enamel (https://www.paragonpaints.co.uk/BS2660-6-074-Mid-Brunswick-green.html) over two coats of Paragon's own zinc phosphate primer (with a first layer of etch primer for the aluminium parts). I'm brushing on with reasonable quality synthetic brushes (Harris "seriously good" brand), sanding down gently between coats and using tack cloths. The parts are cleaned off with a polystrip/wire wheel and degreased before the first coat of primer.
The problem I'm having is small air bubbles ending up in the enamel's finish- the primer seems to go down absolutely fine. I'm fairly sure they're air bubbles, not the more "classic" paint bubbling up due to reacting with the underlay/contaminents when drying which is what comes up when I try to Google this issue. When I brush it on they appear immediately, almost like the brush or paint has entrapped air in it and they break down smaller as I brush the paint on. I can get most of them out but inevitably some remain and whilst not disastrous for a tractor it's frustrating and niggling given the effort and time I'm going to with it all.
I've been in touch with the supplier who have been helpful albeit it a bit puzzled by the issue- I thought at first it might have been my over rigorous mixing when the paint arrived but the can has been sat, sealed for a month or so whilst I've been working on the mechanicals and the issue seems to persist. The only other thing I can think of is that the paint is a bit too thick and the bubbles are not popping whilst the paint lays flat- but it feels wrong I'm getting bubbles like this in the first place. I'm painting inside with a temperature around 20 degrees C (68F)- the paint and parts are stored inside so their temperatures will be there too.
I'd be glad to hear any suggestions or ideas because I'm not coming up with any!
I'm in the UK should that affect recommendations. Sorry for the terminology or lack of, paint is really not my area of expertise!

Hi! I'm Syd and I'm pretty bored and looking for people with the same interests as me, and that main interest is on femboys! I am one myself, and I would love to know of others in my state!
My hobbies/interests are drawing, playing D&D, making more Original Characters than I need, practicing guitar, listening to an ungodly amount of Pink Floyd and Metallica, learning about history, and occasionally putting on a skirt.
I wouldn't say that I'm uninterested in finding a romantic relationship, but I'm not entirely against it, either. I just really want friends who share a bunch of my interests and are really accepting!

I want Star Wars fics that are simular to fallen order, in which is shows a padawan who escaped at the end of the clone wars and has to survive, I do want mentions of them as a padawan, this could be by flashbacks or just starting the story when they are young No chosen one bullcrap just a Jedi survivor (ha! Joke) I would rather the Jedi survive perhaps join the hidden path super late in the fic but I would rather the main focus be them surviving, I do actually want them to use the force and a lightsaber (though I feel like it would be cool if they had lost their weapon and had to sneak to illum to get another one but that’s not required)
I have a preference for female protagonists and Femslash however I assume the amount of fics that fit this description will be low so I won’t make it required

(This takes place in November 2022 btw). I (13 M) went with my friend who I was talking to at the time (13 F) to the movies and during the move she started touching my thigh and butt and I would repeatedly tell her to stop because it made me feel uncomfortable, so my dumb self touched her back and said “See how it makes me uncomfortable?!?” And i guess it fed her but it made me uncomfortable (Don’t call me a pussy or be like “your a man your supposed to be happy”) but is it considered SA? (Take into consideration how I touched her back to make her feel uncomfortable like I did) obviously it was dumb of me for that.

I’m sure a lot of you already know, but only recently did I learnt the ‘Superstar’ is supposed to be a hallucination/vision Jesus is having during his crucifixion. I was watching a version of Superstar on YouTube and it said that in the description and it got me thinking. I now understand the 2000 version better because it’s trying to capture the hallucination better. Judas is kind of a jerk in that version of the song and he interacts a bit with Jesus which makes sense if it’s Jesus’s hallucination. It fits a lot better with the continuity of the musical as well. JCS never shows any miracles, no resurrection, no God, so it was a little weird that Superstar involved Judas as an angel. If he was coming back from heaven he would surely know Jesus was who he said he was and wouldn’t be asking all the questions in the song. I feel like the ‘73 movie left such a big impression on how we view the musical. It’s so definitive in some of its depictions and Judas being an angel was one of them. He comes down on the star all dressed in white so it’s heavily implying that he’s an angel. I feel like it’s also very hard to convey the concept of him being a hallucination during a live show. You can try the subtle hints like Judas wearing red instead of white to imply he’s not an angel, but then people think he went to hell instead. Or you can try to make Judas more of a jerk during the song which contrasts how he feels about Jesus during the rest of the musical. But in the end I feel like peoples pre existing notion is that he’s an angel in Superstar, and honestly I prefer it that way. I know it makes more sense for him to not be real or an angel since that doesn’t really fit in with the themes of the musical, but Superstar is such a fun song that I think it’s better to just let him be an angel and have fun with it. Maybe it’s bias from ‘73, but I really liked how they portrayed it in the ‘18 version, too. I like the idea of embracing heaven and having Judas come straight back down to talk to Jesus before he dies and joins him in heaven. I guess it’s just something interesting to think about. Which version do you guys prefer? Let me know if you have any opinions.

Hello, I'm a 27-year-old man who has been using Durateston (testosterone propionate) through syringe applications in the upper quadrant of my thighs. After having applied it for two consecutive weeks on the same leg and noticing a lot of swelling and discomfort at the application site, I started to alternate the leg on which I apply it. Currently, I am in the fourth cycle of application, and the last application was yesterday on the left leg, and the swelling and pain in the region of application decreased at the end of the cycle. Even after 7 days of the application, I have noticed that the swelling at the application site goes down, but not completely gone - although I no longer feel pain after a week of the application. I don't know if my working out legs on Sunday (the day before the application) has contributed to the pain, but I would like to know from other people who do the application or have done the application if this is normal and how it was possible to get around the pain and swelling. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get some advice on how to handle a difficult situation. I grew up in a joint family, so naturally, my cousin and I were close. However, my uncle recently moved houses, and since then, I've noticed that my cousin has been distant. She doesn't respond to my texts or take my calls anymore, and I'm feeling anxious about bringing it up.
I understand that life can get busy, but I used to be able to keep in touch with her every once in a while. Unfortunately, I struggle with severe PTSD and depression anxiety from losing my mother at an early age, and this situation is making it even more challenging to cope.
It's painful when someone you've been close to for years suddenly starts showing little interest in your life. They may randomly show up for holidays or special occasions, but then leave you on read for weeks or even months. I'm struggling to come to terms with the fact that my cousin, who used to have my back and help me through tough times, is now barely in contact.
I want to express myself to her and figure out if we can rework our communication as she means a lot to me. However, I'm not sure how to approach her. Does anyone have any advice on how to have this conversation in a constructive way? Thank you so much in advance.
I apologize if this is difficult to read; English is neither my first nor my second language, and I am posting this at 2 AM but I would appreciate any sort of positive advice from my fellow redditors.

Hello everyone, sorry for my bad English. Now I’m in times when I don’t know what to do. Here is my story me 23M and my girlfriend 19F having a 2 year relationship. We meet back to school 4 years ago and we were good friends. 2 years ago I invited her for date and things come out in good ways. First year was very great we never had any problems. First problem came when my brother found himself a girlfriend, later I found out she had conflict with her brother. She hated my brothers girlfriend because she can’t greet to her (to me same) and atc. but what can I do if she is stupid? I said it to my brother talk to her but it didn’t help. She is just stupid I can’t help her. Then she said she is using my brother, yes I talked to my brother about that but he have to find you. Then came the second problem, my girlfriend (it was not her fault) had problem with her sister. Who was the main problem? By my gf mother, me and my gf, because I’m using her (I don’t know how the hell), her mother also declared she (my gf) is ruining her life (with no reason, everytime before she said that, she will not go to her promotion, also she will move somewhere else from house and divorce because everyone is destroying her-and it was just one stupid problem). Then I had birthday and also was invated my brothers girlfriend, from that also problem came because from that reason my girlfriend didn’t wanted to came to my birthday and then it is also my fault. Then at november 2022 my father said shit thing to her 2 times, I discused it with my father do never say something to her like that. I talked about that also with her. My father agreed she was to our house 3 times and troubles didn’t came back with my father. At new year also problem came, she got into conflict with her mother with some little shit thing also about her sister, who was again the bad one? She (who didn’t do anything wrong) and me (who wasnt been there) so again shit thing were said by her mom that I just use her and I’m destoying her( my gf). But question is how the hell? 1,5 went by and we didn’t had normal conflict, I was messeging with her every day, every free time I had I was with her, we went out I paid, when she was ill I cared and was also with her, when she get into conflict with her mother and cried wiped away her tears, I never cheated or talked to other girl. So how the thing come out? Her mother messeged me to come help with my gf because she is crying hard, I just wondered me, The bad one? Who is “destroying” her. I love her more that anything I came that night but it hurt a lot. In january my gf starter to blame me, in her opinion because I planned that we could build house near my parents because we didn’t have to buy space, in summer she agreed now it was problem, I said okay we can think about something different so we can be happy, it was also problem that I wanted after school work in our shop and she wanted to move somewhere else from here, she said why I don’t want any other option, I said okay we can discuss out something. In end of February her mother get also in conflict now with her husband, she felt at night with car. I thought if she hates me some much maybe if I help her now, she will hopefully change, so I went with my gf to find her and we found her, she was greatful. I thought now thing will get right. I started to help to her sister with things so she also will stop hate me without reason. One day I went with her mother and she asked me why she don’t want to go to us (my gf). I said because she ( my gf) hate my brothers gf and my father and only my mom not. One week later my gf started to act strange. I found out she is writing with other male friends. To one of them she wrote how much I’m destroying her and that my family hate her because she said true about my brothers girlfriend(she didn’t said anything), I found it out when I was with her, it destroyed me I couldn’t say anything to her. Only thing was in my head, why me? When I’m giving her everything. Then about one week later she also get into conflict with her mother, because her mother claimed my mother is talking shits about her family. And how? because her friend is not talking that much to her so my gf mother for sure my mother said something shit about my girlfriends family. But no evidence, no examples what she said just claims. My gf mother started care about my gf (before everything was my gf fault in her life, she hated her) and started to talk shit about how bitch my mother is and how much my family want to destroy her family. I didn’t knew anything at that time about that. In April I had difficult times I was had lot of at university. I wrote just with my girlfriend everyday sometimes I was her, yes I was not too happy like before because I was extremely exhausted and tired from university. Then from that she got angry and said that I’m scum because of my family and I didn’t trust her because I first time I said I don’t believe my mother could say anything bad about her family because she always loved her. She said she need time I gave her I also was at her graduation and she invited me out, we also went out, messaged daily. One week ago she started me from no reason ignore. Next day I wrote if she want to get out she said we will discuss, at day nothing and next day also I said if she don’t want just say I’d don’t ignore me. Then she wrote I blame her for everything and she will ignore me. And here I’m. I’m destroyed mentally, I don’t know what to do I would like just to die. I love her so much I also had everything planned to move where she will be next year. What to do please help

I want to get my tub surround retiled. How do I find someone who skilled? I know I can get names for bids from the tile store and my handyman said he could do it. Is it worth talking to a contractor when I only need one trade? I’m nervous to go with someone who doesn’t have references or can’t show pictures of their quality of work. I’m replacing what I can only hope is DIY from the previous owner.
