High Maintenance (Saweetie EP) Puns

Edit: you are or were in* a high maintenance religion

I’m very amused but I went back to an earlier save where she wasn’t dead and now she’s so angry that she got shampoo in her eyes and the fridge smells bad that she’s having the worst day EVER and she’s enraged again.

Am I just having bad luck or is this bugged out?

Edit: wow this blew up and I’m honoured! Thanks everyone

Quick update:

okay so she got the emotional bomb quirk for fame, woke up at 3am and had a meltdown then went back to sleep, woke up at 7 and was immediately having the worst day EVER because her hygiene was low so I sent her to shower and she got out of the shower a second later, stormed into the kitchen and aggressively thought about the counter and then continued to shower ???

My friend likes to get her nails done. She pays for it herself. I don’t get my nails done because I just don’t see the need for it. I think it’s just too much. But I decided to go with her just once. So we show up at the salon, she drove me over and when we finished I really liked how they looked. She said she loved the colour I picked and I went “yeah although I don’t know if I’d do this regularly” and she went “yeah I understand, it’s all down to personal taste. It’s just nails.” And then I went “well I just don’t want to go regularly like you, because then I would be a high maintenance girl.” And she kinda didn’t say anything and I went “….cause ya know. You have to go like every 6 weeks.” And she goes “oh well…This is just something I do to treat myself since I don’t really do anything else.”

After that, I realized I might have been a little rude? What do you guys think?

Context - we had a long discussion about how everytime we have an argument, I'm always the one wanting to patch things up and wrap everything nicely before we could move forward. I pointed out that he's more the sweep-under-the-rug kind of guy, to which he agreed. He said he also always don't have the energy to split hairs over arguments.

I told him it's important for me to have a proper post-argument debriefing so we can highlight key lessons, next steps, etc. Between the two of us I'm the more eloquent and more verbose. He's more reserved and withdrawn.

At the end of the discussion, while we were already teasing each other and making fun of the argument, he told me "you're just high maintenance" and I didn't know how to respond to that!

Update: it’s a luxury apartment near the TTC

My partner and I currently have a ragdoll and are looking to add another friend to our family. We do give our cat a huge amount of attention.

We just want to avoid getting a cat that is insanely high maintenance and overly needy - your thoughts & opinions are appreciated!

edit: thank you for all the helpful posts! although they are beautiful animals, it sounds like they are indeed not the cat for us at this point

How many guys decided to try bi because of the time and effort required by women who then friend zoned? That was me. I tried it and I liked it. Now it's my go to move. Wish I had explored earlier.

Pretty please gorls

My boyfriend and I have been through thick and thin together for several years since our early twenties.

He has always been a very eccentric and driven man. Hilarious, witty, and easily a natural at engaging with women despite being very much an introvert.

He would have plenty of options if he was single, especially now that he is respected in his field and making over six figures. However, it was not always like that.

The relationship was rocky while we were broke and in college as I had not dealt with some emotional instability and dramatic tendencies on my end (insecurity at its finest). He knew he could date around and was not ready to commit.

What solidified the relationship for him was after he was laid off from his first out of college job. It was a huge blow to his mental health and purpose.

He admits to me now he would have spiraled out of control if it wasn't for my patience and support in that time. I learned fast that he needed me in his corner more than ever, and my own neediness and attention seeking behavior had to be dealt with immediately or the relationship was over. So I put a stop to the nonsense and learned to be lower maintenance.

Fast forward to today. We have been living together happily for two years.

I encouraged him to go out and have some "him" time the other day. He called me on his way home to say that he appreciates me so much and that he hopes he doesn't ever take me for granted. What prompted this?

He ended up going to a local pub for a couple beers and struck up a conversation with a woman around our age ( 30-31). The woman was apparently very attractive, very into him, and asked for his contact info. As they talked he said he started to feel sick.

He said she gave off negative feminine energy, or tells in her conversation that she was high maintenance and "testing" him for specific reactions ("The bullshit that girls do" in his words). He said he forgot that other women can be like that because I am low maintenance and so easy to be around. He never has to "deal with" me. He then asked me "I want to treat you. Is there anything I can get you?" then offered to pay for an expensive electronic item I've had my eye on for a while.

I've started thinking about high maintenance and low maintenance behavior. Men talk negatively about high maintenance women and to avoid the trappings of a woman like that. But what does that mean?

I've compromised a list of my experiences and examples about high maintenance behav

I don't feel like trying to explain why, just watch it. Hbo Max.

So I'm SD and definitely look/feel my best when I'm honouring that sleek, polished, put-together style. When I put the effort in to blow out my hair, do my makeup, put together a great outfit, it definitely pays off. The problem is that I'm not naturally a glamorous, high-maintenance sort of person and tend to do the bare minimum when it comes to my appearance. I definitely prioritise comfort over fashion. I kinda wish I fit into a more "effortless" kibbe type lol.

Interested in hearing your hacks/tips for achieving a polished, SD look without the time and discomfort involved.

For example beauty/skin/hair treatments that will minimise my preening time? I've thought a bit about a digital perm to add a bit of volume to my pretty limp hair? Lash extensions? Best kind of long-lasting manicure?

SD clothes/shoes that are quick and comfy to wear? I avoid heels generally because I can't handle my feet hurting when I go out, is there something that feels good but keeps those SD lines?

Accessories that immediately elevate a fairly casual/comfy outfit? a go-to "uniform"?

Interested in hearing any of your tricks to get that polished look with minimal polishing! I don't mind spending a bit on pieces/treatments that will ease my daily routine and give the same result.

2.5 hours to get from the city to northcote this evening and there’s literally no other way around it bc this decision means there’s no Mernda train, no 86 tram, and the 11 tram and replacement buses are stuck crawling amongst all the extra traffic having to squeeze through the detours.

my best friend of about 3ish years now is just too much for me at the moment- they have a whole on slot of familiar problems that i have always been open ear to hearing about and giving some advice blah blah blah. my dad passed away in june, cancer (sick for three years)- and i have always told my friends no matter what is on my plate i will be an open ear... well my grief clearly preoccupies me and my best friend consistently makes me feel either bad or guilty that i do not pay attention to their messages or talks anymore- granted i listen i just do not have the strength to go on and on and on talking or giving advice. there have been about two cases now where they have told me it bothers them that I do not respond or acknowledge that anymore, and while i get that and i have apologized- it pisses me off cause HELLO MY FATHER HAS DIED??? MY LIFE HAS BEEN TURNED UPSIDE DOWN AS WELL?? i just texted them explaining how i cant be 100% there anymore, i simply do not have the battery like i used to- but what else do i do? my absolute best friend of 6 or so years, is totally not like this- we are ok not speaking for a while and checking in when need be but this friend is NOT that and its seriously making the process of grieving my dad a lot harder, what do yall do in this situation ?

I recently started medication and have seen general improvements in mood, but not much so in productivity. I need my environment to be "just so" to feel motivated to start important tasks. I need to be groomed, dressed, fed, everything in its place (but for me that's near impossible), the room to be exactly the right temperature ( Im always too warm or too cold), three beverages of varying types and temps in front of me, the right lighting, an interesting youtube video with someone talking in the background on (but once the vid ends, I need to look for another one) ... and all this prepwork used to not be completed so that i feel comfortable enough to start tasks before meds.

But now, meds get me motivated enough to start the prep and self-care process, but doesn't see me through to the end of the original intended task. I usually lose steam before even starting.

Anyone else in the same predicament? Any tips or advice?'

Throw away account. I love my gf but she’s pissing me off sometimes. We’re both in our early twenties. By the end of the summer, I invited her to a pool party and she said she can’t go because she just did this thing to her hair and she can’t wet her hair for about a week or so. I enjoy bowling but she can never go with me because she’ll ruin her nails. Last night we went out with our friends and wanted to go to the hills after just to see this panoramic city view and she couldn’t go because she was wearing heels then I couldn’t go either because I had to drive her home. That night she got mad at me because I didn’t tell her we’d go to the hills after date.

The thing is, she always has to know the whole plan for going out or doing anything really and can’t be spontaneous. The first time we had sex we had to talk for about it 2 hours before, go through every little thing that would and could happen so we’re prepared. I’m not that kind of person at all. I live in the moment as cliche as it sounds and finding deeper meaning to some things and perfectioning them makes me now want to them anymore.

I’m the high maintenance girlfriend

I made Reddit just so I can post this. My friend saw this post and it sounded familiar to her so she sent me this. I read all the comments and I just wanted to say thank you. Just like majority of you said, I wouldn’t have any problem climbing fcking hills if he told me we’d be doing it after dinner. He was always the one who bragged to everyone how his gf always looks nice and dresses up and that he feels like the luckiest man in the world meanwhile he’s here posting this shit, claiming I’m too high maintenance.

[comment] I told him what sex meant to me since I was a virgin and how important that talk was to me. He wasn’t too happy to talk about it but he told me that he understands me and it’s a big deal for him too. I can’t believe that in reality this was what he was thinking the whole time about it- that I’m annoying.

The thing that hurt me the most is him not telling me any of this, if he felt that way he should’ve told me and not complain to strangers about me.

I read an article a while back that said women from unstable homes require you to invest in them due to their insecurities it's a sunken cost fallacy that psychologically hooks you to stick around pretty much a shit test for dumb dudes who don't know any better or themselves have low self esteem and don't think that their relationship prospects will improve.

These women will weave a web and wait for some dumb guy to fall in and reward this crazy behavior and it usually works as long asa they're not hideously busted or fat they'll find some idiots to trick.

Hi everyone,

my boyfriend (M29) and i(F29) have been dating for 6 years. We have had a lot of ups and downs in our relationship, because i dont know what a healthy relationship looks like. My parents were super toxic and that’s what i know of. They got divorced and my mom is now remarried, but her new marriage is not all that much better either. Anyway, my boyfriend and i used to go out on dates a lot and on little adventures. adventures being like going to the park to eat breakfast or lunch with his dog, going to the beach, going to the flea market to buy things or grab some mexican food, fun things like that. He lost his job two years ago so we haven’t done that in a while, plus the pandemic. He recently made his own business and is making good money, but we still don’t go out anywhere. A few days ago i asked him why and he said it’s because he is struggling with money while work is slow. however he’ll buy beer and weed, that he has money for. i told him that i will pay for dinner let’s just go somewhere, and he’ll complain that he is tired and wants to stay home. yet he is not tired to hangout with his friends after work. he’ll ask me to go to dinner but with his friends being involved. i say no because i just want it to be us two and he than tells me that i am impossible to make happy. am i being unreasonable or does he not care to try anymore?

It’s her birthday and she’s been the best grandma ever for almost the past year. I want to give her something special and sentimental. Any ideas?

I want to know whether I'm (29F) being high maintenance and unreasonable or if my boyfriend (31M) is just a bit of a jerk... (TL;DR at the bottom)

Ok so my birthday is kind of a big deal to me.. I had a rough family life growing up and the only family member I could ever count on was my Grandma and we happened to share the same birthday. I always felt even more bonded to her because of that but she died when I was 18 and it's never been the same since. Anyway my live in boyfriend of 4 years knows this (although he doesn't even know my Grandmas name because he's never bothered to ask) I've had 3 birthdays while being with him and each year I've been let down, and it's just happened again and I'm feeling devastated, but he's never ignored them completely so I'm just wondering if I'm expecting to much...

Birthday #1: the day prior I was 99% sure he hadn't bought me anything so I made up an excuse to go to the shops so he could maybe get something but he decided to sit in the car while I went shopping so I figured he already had something. The next day we woke up and he had no present or card or anything for me except a Happy Birthday then he went to work and in the afternoon I went to the mall by myself to get my nails done and he decided to meet me there after work. When he arrived we went into one of my favourite popculture shops (I'm a big collector of a particular franchise) and I picked out a couple things that I wanted to buy for myself and when we were at the register he tried to pay for it and claim it as my birthday present but I refused because I was annoyed he just tried to jump in like that and buy something with the least amount of thought and effort possible. We were then ment to go to dinner and see a movie I'd been wanting to see, we did dinner and he paid but he changed his mind about the movie so we just went home.

Birthday #2: a week before my birthday we went shopping at a store specifically dedicated to my fandom and he gave me cash as a birthday present to pick out something I wanted, which I did. Then a week later on my actual birthday we were away at a friend's house and coming home that day, I again woke up to nothing but a Happy Birthday, then I drove us the 1.5 hours home and he slept the whole way, then when we got home he went to bed and slept the rest of the day also even though we were ment to be going out for dinner with my family. I just got ready and left him sleeping and went alone because I was so upset he had ignored

This is Long, there is no tl;dr version, if anything it is to short and is missing a few steps. I'll have to add the pictures to the comments once I get home.

Thought I'd share some of my pre-game, or post game depending on when I do it, routine with folks. Because let's be honest our beloved simmies are high maintenance for smooth running. The bulk of the maintenance I do know I owe to simmers such as Crinrict and Igzor.

A little about my copy of the game first. It is not patched past patch 1.67, all add on content is installed through disc (so ancient I know, lol) on the desktop. It is a fully loaded game all eps, sps, and store content. To avoid the launcher at start up I use the nocd mod from nraas.

The gaming laptop (it was necessary I was going to be gone a month and taking the desktop wasn't an option) for travel is another story, Steam for dlc and games, avoiding the launcher is not an option.

In addition to the main The Sims 3 folder there are 9 folders inside that I check on each and every game session. although a few I only check if I've used the launcher to download additional game content.

First picture is of the main sims 3 folder, I've underlined the 9 folders I check on.

From the main folder (first 3 pictures) I delete the cache files: SimCompositerCache, SocialCache, ScriptCache, CompositorCache, and the Tslus.bin** file. ** A new Tslus.bin file, like the caches will be generated the next time you start the game or use the launcher. Do Not delete CasPartCache, especially if you are playing "The eyes have it". I do not know why, but for some very important computer reason, the game runs smoother if you do not keep more than 5 saves at a time. I either delete extra saves, or move them to another folder for later retrieval. The DCBackup folder (picture 4) should only ever have the ccmerged file in it. Do not delete the ccmerged. The current game folder should always be empty when the game is not running. Other folders you'll want to empty from time to time: World Caches, screenshots, videos, and exports. The downloads folder has items that live in it. If they accidentally get deleted they regenerate themselves at next game launch. However you don't want to leave ts3 download packages in it after install. The game does not like files or folders with to much data. So either store them in another folder away from the game for backup (mine are on an external drive) or delete them.

Now the very important folder DCCache, last 2 pi

I started a new job 5 months ago, I haven't really gotten close to anyone except one guy, we'll call him Joe.

We started off just having lunch together, talking with each other at happy hours, etc. Eventually our friendship has escalated and we began hanging out outside work, inviting our significant others, etc etc.

Joe came over to have lunch and play video games with me and my fiancé the weekend before NYE. That was the first time Joe visited my apartment and I mentioned we wanted to host a small NYE party! We seemed to be on the same page and thought it was a cool idea.

The next day I found out that Joe and another co-worker had decided that it would be best to have the party at JOE's place since it is bigger and more spacious. I honestly felt really bad about it, I wish Joe had mentioned it more casually like "hey, why not have it in my place? We'll fit more people" or whatever. I felt like he went behind my back and talked to the other coworker about how small my apartment is.

Anyhow, I didn't make a big deal about it but it got me thinking that I might be over-sharing too much. I've known Joe for 2 months and he's already meeting my fiancé, coming to my place, we're sharing personal stuff. I immediately felt like I needed to maybe distance a bit. I felt Joe's dislike in my apartments (which I absolutely love and I think it's adorable) and I took it very personally, I know I'm probably over-reacting here. But we had poker nights planned, a birthday party, which were going to be at my place! Does this mean everything moving forward will be at Joe's place??

I ended up not going to his NYE party either way because my family came to the city VERY unexpected, so I let him know one day before that I wouldn't be attending. To which I apologized, but he was really sad about it for 2 days??. I was not expecting him to be OK with my last-minute change but it was really awkward to witness the sadness passive -aggressiveness for 2 days. Maybe we just have different expectations, I don't require much, I brought him a croissant and ice cream the next day and apologized because I felt bad about cancelling. Maybe he truly is very sensitive and I'm not seeing that.

He wants us to have plans almost every week even though I'm a very busy person and rarely have free days.

I also feel low-key manipulated? For example, the first time we went out for a beer was because he told me he was feeling really sad about not having friends in our town since he's relati

Alright. So I’ve owned several cookers over the years. Big Green Egg (2 different sizes), Napoleon grill, Vertical reverse flow smoker, Webber Kettle, Traeger Ironwood to name a few. I’m sure my friends and family think I love wasting money on good cookers. (I still have all these cookers though because they serve a great purpose) Since I bought the Traeger about 2 years ago, I’ve been obsessed with smoking bbq. I’d smoke anything and everything and the meat would come out pretty good.

Around April this year I set out to buy a stick burner. Watching Jeremy Yoder, Matt Pittman, and a few others, I realized that it’s not the smoke that gives it the perfect flavor, but it’s the invisible smoke and convective properties that make the meat taste really good. So I found a guy here in Texas and he made me an offset that runs really efficient, drafting heat with that perfect invisible smoke out the tall stack. I thought the vertical reverse flow smoker was good. Not even close.

I’m a month in, and have smoked spare ribs, a turkey and a ham. Is managing the fire difficult? Maybe. I’m learning. Girth, Length and moister of the split matters. Keep a hot bed of coals along with a split or two on fire Since the firebox is insulated, I need about half the fuel than I normally would need. So my splits are about 2”x2” thick by 10” long - all using post oak. Anyways, I’m sure my next cooks will be dialed in even more.

Back to the taste. The taste of the meat is something to behold. I can’t explain it. The taste isn’t even close to what the Traeger puts out. Instead, I would describe stick burner taste to be a clean, non-bitter smoke. In fact, that ham was supposed to be a ‘warm it up and serve’ ham. Naw - I smoked it for about 4 hours and the 10 of us devoured it within the first 2 servings. The taste was unbelievably unique.

Like I said, all the other cookers are great and have their purpose. But if you like to sit and let time be still while you enjoy a beer or 12 with your stick burner, then I’d say nothing beats it.

We love our cute girl (she is 7months old) and we got her when she was 5 months old. She isn’t loud or destructive or mean BUT… it’s soooo hard to get her to eat (we have had issues with her not eating for a while in a day and then puking up food bc she wolfs it down 🤦🏻‍♀️ we got her a higher bowl and feed her at like 4 different times, and in small amounts). We aren’t sure if we should change her dry food bc she’s been eating the same kind of kibble since before we got her, and because she puked when we tried giving her different kibble. She isn’t losing any weight though 🤔 (she is 7.5 lbs and fairly long).

She likes wet food but will only sometimes finish it. I have to sit there and coax her into eating and pet her constantly— if I’m not there she straight up won’t eat 😩 or sometimes she will be eating and then get immediately distracted by a noise from outside and run away (???)…

She also isn’t the best at cleaning herself and I don’t know why… we had to get cat wipes bc she doesn’t clean her butt lmfao. I THINK she’s sort of getting better now but omg lolllll it was a struggle.

Lastly maybe I just don’t understand BSHs enough but she doesn’t seem to be the most affectionate cat. I get that some BSHs aren’t lap cats, which is fine (I was so sad when I learned this 😂) but she doesn’t sit beside us very much. She does sometimes follow me around though. We also play with her for like 30+ minutes a day. I don’t know, ahhh. Any advice?

Hi everyone. I purchased my first Prius this summer (2013, now has 127k miles) and recently took it to the shop for a couple minor things. They said it didn't seem to have been brought in for its 100k service (before I bought it) and recommended a number of things, including:

Flush coolant system: $180
Inverter flush: $140
Spark plug change: $350
Fuel injection service: $167
Brake fluid exchange: $130
Transmission fluid flush: $371.50
Replace positive crankcase ventilation valve: $395
Perform air conditioning system refresh: $165.60
Replace 12v battery: $290

Of course I'm happy to pay for service that keeps this car on the road for a long time. But seeing $290 for a new 12v battery made me wonder if the other recommended items could/should be done cheaper? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
