Title

I just wanted to say thank you all. I know a lot of posts are venting, which is completely understandable.

I recently have fallen for someone with misophonia. It was the first time I’ve ever heard of it.

But, she’s so wonderful so I had to find out more. After this subreddit, several podcasts, articles, and documentaries... I’ve been able to learn small things that help make her comfortable and safe, which makes me happy.

To me, some things are so simple but in some cases just was never aware relative to misophonia impact:

1. I didn’t care much for gum, but now I have a reason to not care about it.

2. I got a small fan in the back room for when she’s over at my house so there’s some type of small noise to maybe drown out the impact of something potentially.

3. When making dinner for her I just substituted the plates and utensils to non scraping/clanking things. I even ordered some bamboo stuff! I got her a travel bamboo utensil kit as a gift, but it hasn’t arrived yet :) I think she will like it. (Open for alternative / more suggestions regarding this)

4. I am a natural fidgeter, but now I’m much more aware of what my body is doing because I never knew it could have such a strong impact negatively on someone else.

5. If I need to eat chips, then I can eat chips somewhere else. It’s not the end of the world. I’d rather make sure she’s safe in her mind.

6. Crinkling a bag, smacking gum/food, and chewing with mouth open are the worst kinds of people :P

7. I never had background noise when I ate, but now I run over and start music or something on TV. It’s kind of fun. But it’s nice because I know it helps.

8. I don’t have to walk around on eggshells, but I do personally choose to try and create small new habits if that means it makes someone I care about feel safe and comfortable.

Anyways, sorry for long post. I just wanted to say thank you and I’m thankful for you all.

I will leave you with this, because it helped me (someone on the outside looking in) see how it’s not just something that can be “fixed” or understood fully... To tell someone with misophonia to just get over it, don’t think about it, or stop over reacting.... is like yelling “JUST USE YOUR EYES AND LOOK!” to a blind person. Empathy is important.

TL;DR:

You all are awesome. Thank you because you helped me help make my misophonia crush more comfy :)

Thanks!! :) ✌🏼

1st update edit:

Things are going soo well. She really loved the

I'm so infatuated with you. I just want to hold you, to hug you. To feel your warmth. I just want to talk to you about our interests and what we're going to do after this year, or how you've been doing recently.

I've never fallen so hard before.

I only wish you would've caught me.

I tried to be bold and communicate my signs, but you shrugged off those chocolates on valentine's day last year. That should've been my sign that this wouldn't go anywhere, and that I should think of you as a friend. You wouldn't respond to your texts, and I began worrying as I always tend to do. It took you days to respond, and only with short answers. I knew then that I would try to hinder these feelings. I removed your number from my contacts and I was fine over the summer. But now, everytime I see you my heart melts over and over again. I know it'll never happen, but you've slain me time and time again. I thought I was fine. I felt so happy when we talked, I was eager to play games with you these past couple of weeks. But you never showed. And the one time you did message, you disappeared without any further sign. Like you always do. I hope you're doing well, as life can be unforgiving. I hope we can get to play and talk and just be friends. I'm still going to fall in love with you everytime I see you, but I've known how to restrain those emotions, even if it's only for a day or two.

I just wish you would know that I'll never be angry when we don't play, and I'll always wish to stick by your side as a friend at the most. I'm fine that you don't love me back, I'll still give you the compassion that I do all my other friends. I'll still give you the time you never gave me.

A cozy cabin in the woods, long walks on the beach at night, pillow forts, road trips to nowhere with our playlist going..

That’s what I want.

I’m a 21 year old lad, looking for my other half. I’m enrolled in University, working, and in my downtime I play a bit of Classic WoW, and read books. I’m big on animals especially aquariums, but the last bit of my puzzle missing is you!

I’m a very goal driven person. I set my mind to something and make it happen. I’m rather spiritual, but feeling a bit lost in it currently.

I’m trying to find the yin to my yang, the feminine soul to my masculine soul. All that cheesy stuff.

I also like to ramble eh? Let’s chat! See where we end up. I don’t bite, or ask for nudes 10 mins into a convo.. what could go wrong? (:

I don't care what anyone says I think you are amazing. I like everything about you and you are just mesmerising. You're sweet and funny... and you have an amazing voice. Your laughter is like music to my ears.

I know you act really cold, but deep down you just have a heart of warm fuzzy gold. I know you're trying to protect it, that's why you keep me and everyone else at a distance and I honestly don't blame you. It makes me want to show you how serious I am but I have no idea how to proceed. I guess I'm a little scared. You seem the type to run whenever somebody gets too close.

What's weird is that I think you like me too but you're convinced it's not going to work. I wish you would just give me a chance, I'll make it work. You're worth it, without a shadow of a doubt.

I think what I like about you the most is we have what it takes to have an amazing relationship... We would support each other, nurture each other and care for each other. A true partnership. I've never met anyone who made me understand that. Oh, and you also make me want to grow the f**k up. And I've never met anybody that's made me change my world views the way you do. I used to be the most uptight anal retentive person ever but now I can let go and this is all because of you being you.

I may never get to tell you this, but I really, truly, deeply care about you. And when you find someone and settle down, I'll always be jealous of them. I really want(ed) to be that person, but I see more and more everyday you're determined to keep me shut out.

Maybe one day you'll learn to open up and be vulnerable and when you do, I know that beauty deep down inside of you is going to take everyone's breath away.

Never have I ever met anyone like you, no one has ever made me feel the way you do. I love you. I'm just sorry I'll never get to say it to you.

Just friends is okay though, I guess.

I made a post of the same title over in /r/RaidSecrets, but not everybody here frequents it, so here I am.

By process of elimination, this week's Wandering Nightmare, as the title says, will be in Archer's Line. This particular Nightmare is a group of 3 Fallen, as shown in the Vidoc 'The Moon and Beyond' (Link starts at 2:30).

I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly where the Nightmare is, but I'm fairly confident in saying it's along the western portion of the map (Left-hand side of the environment, if you're entering from Sanctuary)
If I was being cheeky, I'd wager they're down the hill, towards where the Ether Resupply Public Event takes place, or, for the D1 Veterans, the old Moon spawn point.

If you're feeling helpful, you could try and pinpoint where exactly the Nightmare will be - here is a screenshot of the ViDoc showcasing the immediate environment, and some distinct boxes.

For context we don't know who it is Jonson is talking to here. Just that its another primarch.

>The primarch glanced at Jonson again and bowed his head in admiration. ‘You have performed a master stroke, brother. Truly. Rather than confront Horus directly, you’ve defeated him with only a handful of troops.’ He smiled slyly. ‘I begin to think that the title of Warmaster was placed upon the wrong brow.’

>Jonson smiled at the compliment. ‘From you, brother, that means something. Thank you.’

>‘What now?’ the primarch asked. ‘Will you accompany us to Isstvan?’

>‘No,’ Jonson said. ‘I must return with all haste to the Shield Worlds and prepare the Legion for the trip to Terra. In fact, I think it best if no one outside you, I and the other primarchs ever knew I was here. I wouldn’t want the Emperor to believe I did any of this with an ulterior motive in mind.’

>The primarch considered this at length, and nodded. ‘A prudent choice, and a very humble one.’

>Jonson leaned forward in his chair. ‘Well, naturally,’ he said. His expression grew serious. ‘I don’t do this for the accolades, brother, nor for the power. Not really. I do this for the good of the Imperium. Horus became our father’s favourite son for no other reason than fate. Had I been the first one he’d found, I would be Warmaster today. No offence.’

>The primarch smiled. ‘None taken.’

>‘So I can count upon your support when the time comes? I feel that the Emperor will need to choose a new Warmaster very quickly if the Great Crusade is to continue.’

>‘That goes without saying,’ the primarch agreed.

>‘Then we’ve reached an understanding?’

>The primarch bowed his head solemnly. ‘The arrangement stands to benefit us both.’

>‘Excellent,’ Jonson said. 'In that case, you’re welcome to take possession of the Ordinatus siege guns at your convenience. On one condition, of course.’

>The primarch raised a thin eyebrow. ‘Oh?’

>Jonson gave his guest a sly grin. ‘You must promise me they will be put to good use on Istvaan.’

>Perturabo, primarch of the Iron Warriors smiled, his eyes gleaming like polished iron.‘Oh, yes,’ he said. ‘Of that you may be assured.'

My girlfriend got me to go with her to Riot Fest this past weekend. We've been both excited for it over the last few months (we bought our tickets after the line up was announced). It was my first time visiting, so both her and I wanted to do some exploring along with the fest.

We decided to only do the first two days of the fest, which were a blast. Super freakin packed, but was really fun seeing some of my favorite in Yours Truly and The Damned Things play to such crowd. We also saw Blink 182 and Rise Against, and a bunch of other good bands.

Touristy and explore-y type stuff we did was visit the Catcade and Navy Pier to ride the ferris wheel, and then Lou Malnati's for dinner. Golden Nugget for lunch before Riot Fest day 2. Sunday we went to Lincoln Park Zoo and Conservatory, J Parker rooftop restaurant on the top of the Lincoln Hotel (the view up there is absolutely stunning), the Chicago History Museum, Cupcake ATM, then Millennium Park to see the bean and fountain. I wanted to do a bunch of exploring also because I'm a photographer (mostly of concerts) and wanted to get all the good pictures I could possibly get.

I just got home from the trip and now I'm just sitting, looking back at the weekend and have an overwhelming sense of wanting to go back. I had so much fun, your city is absolutely gorgeous. So diverse, so vibrant, so much bigger than Minneapolis.

I was won over by your city after the last day of Riot Fest, when the Village People played and a huge mosh pit started for Macho Man and an even bigger wall of death for YMCA. People coming together for something as ridiculous as that is beautiful. With video of it capture by pineapple cam? I'm going to remember that for ages.

So thank you. I've always held a grudge against you guys for the Blackhawks beating the Wild in the playoffs so much, but thank you for being such a gorgeous city and such nice people. I've got some of my favorite photos I've ever taken of your beautiful skyline, and some of my favorite memories now. I can't wait to visit again.

It seems like I’m wrong about as often as I’m right when it comes to diagnosis and it’s killing my confidence which seems to be increasing the amount of times I’m wrong. To the people who have been through this how did you break past the block and get your confidence back? What aids are out there to help you grasp better ways of doing your job?

Edit: thank you guys for all the advice and the kind words of encouragement. It's good to know it's not just me that goes through this!

It’s 21:30 I’ve had a few beers, I get a sudden craving for a juicy fresh cheeseburger (homemade) So I get up nip across the road to Tesco to buy Tesco’s finest burgers, brioche buns and the cheapest nastiest processed cheese to top it off.

I go down the meat isle (bare in mind I’m half cut) I see a 4 pack of Tesco’s finest scotch bonnet burgers.

Here I am thinking “ yes lad! Some prime Scottish Aberdeen Angus burgers, what a result!

I pay for my stuff trott off home and slam one on the frying pan, it sizzles away majestically! As my brioche pops out the toaster after a brief 60 second soirée I slam two slices of cheese either side them mount the sizzling burger In the middle like prized game piece hanging on the wall.

I gallantly March back into my living room, I sit down and prepare myself for the foodgasm I’m about too have.

Then all of a sudden as I chew my first mouthful it hits me

Fuck my life Scotch bonnet isn’t a brand of Angus beef it’s a fucking spicy chilli!

Burger absolutely bloody ruined I’m totally inconsolable..

Have a great Friday evening everyone....

TLDR accidentally purchased a spicy burger ruined my evening

The last phone I really, really liked was my old iPhone 4S I got way back in 2012. I ended up switching to Android after that for a couple reasons and had a string of low/mid tier Motorola and rebranded Chinese phones, which involved dealing with a lot of annoying quirks (slow, slow to charge, bad cameras, little to no updates, etc). My last phone was a Moto G6 which became so slow I couldn't stand it any more. After a little bit of research I ended up ordering a Pixel 3a. I've had it for about a week now and absolutely LOVE it. It's snappy, has a slick style, takes great photos, has a beautiful OLED screen, and runs an up to date OS with updates guaranteed. I'm so glad I jumped on the Pixel train. I hope Google continues to release excellent phones like this in this price range.

For me it's Jen from AME.

I know most people started on Pokemon when they were far younger than I, but sadly my family was never particularly wealthy and so I never had stuff like a Gameboy or Nintendo DS when I was a kid. My older brother did. He had a Gameboy from a fairly good Christmas and he worked for his own DS when he was 15. I remember being really young and waiting for when he'd go off to work or hang out with friends so I could hijack his DS for a few hours, playing Platinum, but I'd always have to start at the beginning because I couldn't save the game over his own playthroughs. But that's really all I ever played of Pokemon for most of my life, and it ended when he moved out, and I just sorta forgot about it.

I'm kinda a gamer now. My brother bought me a PS4 last year and I've been saving up scraps of money for games, and the laptop I bought for school is good enough to run some older games too. However Pokemon was never really on my radar. I can't afford to buy a console like a Nintendo 3DS just to play a few specific games when I can play plenty of other games on my PS4 and PC, so I just didn't bother with it, and was content with barely understanding references I saw on the internet to Pokemon or when my friends would make Pokemon jokes and stuff.

Recently, however, that's all changed.

My left lung collapsed a few weeks back. Pretty nasty shit. I honestly think the name "lung collapse" sounds more dire than it actually is, but I wouldn't reccomend the experience. My lung couldn't seem to heal itself, so I had a 12 day long stay at the hospital, and let me tell you a hospital is not an exciting place. You lay in bed, maybe getting a bit of sleep before a nurse comes in to deliver meds or take your blood pressure or whatever, and lazily watch TV.

My brother visited on day 2 though, and brought with him his entire Pokemon collection: his ancient Gameboy with a Leafgreen cartrige, his DS Lite with all the Gen 4 and 5 games, and a 2DS with X, Omega Ruby, and Moon. Told me I might as well have something to do and since I wasn't allowed my PS4 in the hospital, he brought that stuff instead.

And wow. I love him so much for it.

I started from Leafgreen, then Platinum, Soulsilver, Black and Black 2, Omega Ruby, X, and Moon. I know that's not the entire franchise, but it's all I have access to, and it's more than enough. Getting used to building my team and the rather harsh grind was a bit difficult at first, but I eventually got a grasp on party composition (thoug

Back around when Babymetal's second album came out, I poked around in Spotify's incredibly one-dimensional "similar artists" function and stumbled across Band-Maid. I think they only had Maid in Japan and New Beginning out at the time. I listened to MiJ a few times and thought it was pretty cool, but it fell down the list and got buried by other new stuff.

It happens to me fairly often. I'll hear something that I'm not "ready for" or am not in the right mindset for at the time, and it just doesn't fully click. Because of this tendency, I try to dig through my old stuff once in a while and see if there's something I missed. Well, a while back, I searched up Band-Maid again and found the video for Gioncho.

Let's just say... Click.

Stoked that there was a whole EP of Band-Maiko songs, I dove in, and it was equally fantastic. Expanded that to World Domination and holy hell they rock so much harder than I remember. And there's a new album coming? Preordered that and threw WD and the Band-Maiko EP in the cart at the same time. Later I started listening to Just Bring It and Brand New Maid and was really starting to dig them when they got nuked off Spotify. Sadness. I was putting together an order from HMV anyway, so toss those on the pile!

Then I read that they're one of those "even better live" kinds of groups. It didn't take many trips to YouTube to find the truth in that. The dueling solos at the beginning of Play are incredible. Akane's crisp and exciting drumming, followed by Misa's funky-as-shit fast-and-Primus-y bass, Kanami jumping in to absolutely shred the audience's head off, and then Miku ties it all together with a nice bow, just in time for Saiki and her warm, powerful vocals.

Boom. Double-click.

As always seems to happen to me, I just missed them playing in California (the wrong end, but still). So yesterday, when I found a seller on eBay that had unopened Type A versions of both World Domination and the Start Over supersingle -- for only slightly crazy prices -- well, I think you know what happened. I guess I need a Blu-Ray player now.

So here I am, writing waaay too much without much of a point (sorry!), listening to Rin'ne for the hundredth time, and really wishing the mail were faster.

Greetings!

I just got the 500 cost Galbaldy Beta and I've instantly taken to it, the alpha was my favorite suit until the Hizack released but with the beta I've been finessing circles around Rick Diazs, Alexs, mk iis, shikis and others.

What this thing is lacking in arsenal its melee and maneuverability makes up for ten fold!

What are your guy's thoughts?
