Every time I restart I have to replay through the boring ass levels just to get to the medical center. This is where I feel the game starts proper. I’m so tired of rerunning those levels. Is there a way to just restart afresh from the first alien level?

I've been living in my current city for a while, it is mid sized and alright. However, having grown up in a big city, I really want to move out and start afresh in another big city. The older I get, it feels scary, get anxious and then I pause the thought for a couple of months. The cycle happens again when I realise I've outgrown my current city and circle.

I'd love to know if anyone just left for another place for personal growth. What motivated to you to just do it?

Now it's time to teach this gen z what his non-present father & single mother couldn't

2021 is finally over and starting work again after a long, much-needed Christmas - New Years break. It was pretty common to hear people facing burnout, especially towards the end of the year.

What are steps that you are taking to avoid getting back into the vicious cycle again? Whether it's work/personal related

I got Stardew Valley a few years ago and started my first farm, I put hours into it and got to my third year but I soon lost interest in the game. I spent a lot of the game looking up things on Wikipedia, searching up villager likes/dislikes, their schedules, fishing times/seasons etc..

I made the decision to delete all my save files on Stardew and start afresh, however each time I try to start again I don't feel the same excitement. Can anyone recommend some tips on how to make it feel new again?

Hey y'all! I'm preparing for 2023. I've studied NCERTs and some standard books a few months back and I lost track for a few months. I haven't done any revisions so I'm starting afresh. Anyone who's preparing for 2023 and want to study together online, please hit me up in the DM or comment below. Thanks!

My relationship and engagement to be married ended on Nov 16, about 6 weeks ago.

Ours was long-distanced, with a lot of differences: countries, ethnicities, cultures, way of speaking, lingo, slang, faith, values, beliefs.. alot of these caused many misunderstandings and hurts.. he has 2 daughters (a teenager and a tween - and I felt vibes like the teenager didnt like me) and a money sucking ex-wife, a stressful job, elderly parents to look after, me, i have an elderly mum too and she has dementia but i've always been carefree and free. We loved each other deeply and truly, but we also clashed alot and pretty badly.

We tried our best for the longest time; at least I felt I did. I've compromised and been the most open I've ever been and I've relooked into my beliefs and outlook on various things.
I left my life behind and went over to his country in end 2020 in the midst of the pandemic to be with him, but because of visa issues I had to come back mid this year to settle them.
And now, we decided we would no longer carry on with us. Yes it was finally amicable (we ended many times badly) but it was still rough and I've been struggling over the past weeks.

Despite everything, we had a lot of things going against us and I was pretty unhappy too, this was the guy I had chosen to love and be with, to build a life together and spend the rest of our lives together. (I still believe that we can work out but it would take a miracle - lots more compromising on each other's parts and a willingness to change.) I'm currently 39 and I'm picking up the pieces. Getting my life back, getting a job, getting back in the grind. One of the worst things is to have an immediate family member tell you that you've wasted a year, nag at you at what you're going to do with your life and to do it soon, and then 2 days after your breakup send you an article titled 'Secrets of a Happy Marriage'. A part of me feels like I will just remain single forever. Telling myself then I don't have anything to worry about. Another part of me still wants that special someone to have a family with and to love and care for them although I feel I don't have much time left to have kids but I'm just trying to keep the faith.

Anyway at about the time we parted ways, I joined Reddit. And I learnt that so many of you out there are going through so so much! But at the same time, you guys are so SO STRONG and RESILIENT and I've managed to find hope and strength and courage from all of you to carry o

How often do you tear your courses down to the studs and build it back up again? I teach at a CC and I'm offering three sections of the same course every semester and, at least from my point of view, it's getting a bit stale.

Do you ever start from scratch or do you just adjust a little at a time?

29M here.

4 years ago: Graduated in a top 3 University in Singapore with a bachelors in information systems, but don’t know heck about IT, computer systems or programming. Yet scraped through with a 3.03/4.00 GPA through good presentation skills and sheer luck.

Also: Did an online course in supply chain and logistics.

Also: Got a job in logistics. Quit after 6 months.

Also me: got a second job in logistics. Quit after 6 months.

Explored paramedicine (paramedic, nursing etc during the last 2 years) but didn’t work out.

According to Chinese beliefs (aka my roots) and based on my birth time, date etc (Geomancy), I was told to consider finance and real estate.

I like crypto, but I know I’m just a consumer-investor who tried and got burned in futures, yet still have a strong conviction for the future of cryptocurrency financially and intellectually.

Basically: I tried tech. Failed - don’t understand. Logistics. Failed - can’t take the industry. Medical - not deeply interested. Finance - not sure how to start. Crypto - day trading not for me, but buy and hold is fine, but no way for me to make it a career.

Now, ultimately lost.

Hi All.

My ex and I broke up on 4 August 2021 after a tumultuous 3 years together. He cheated in Nov 2018 and I found out about it in June 2019. During 2018 when I had asked him what we were, he would say "I don't like labels because as soon as you label it, it all turns to shit". I moved out end of Aug 2021. He is also my boss.

He approached me and we had been talking the entire week last week. It was open communication and he apologized for all the things he did. Said that he loves me and he realized all the things he did was wrong. He said even after all those things I still loved him, I still gave him chances. We then proceed to see each other and talk on the phone. He is super sweet at work and very attentive when we were spending time together.

I asked him 2 days ago what we were, what this is. He says it's "new beginnings, starting afresh, not forgetting the good times we have had but forgetting the bad and moving forward". This sounded like "we're dating". I ask because I have made the mistake before of assuming he meant what he was saying. I ask him what the label would be and he gets extremely upset. He tells me that labels ruin things, says that I am giving him an ultimatum, if he doesn't label it I am going to continue with my Tinder escapades and fuck every guy. I then said that without a label the boundaries are non-existant and it opens it up to unsavory influences, can we discuss boundaries because they're important and he says that his boundaries are in his head. He asks me if I know right from wrong and says "those are my boundaries". He also said that even when you date nothing is set in fucking stone so what's the purpose of labeling it.

I have kept a little distance since then. Last night we spoke on the phone and he said that I don't see his hurt, that I moved out 3 times and he will not put a fucking label on anything, he will not put his heart on his sleeve just to have it torn up again by me. He has apologized for his fuck up and he has to live with what he did. He then tells me he will join Tinder himself and ends it by saying I must enjoy my Tinder.

Am I wrong for having asked about a label and boundaries? I feel like he is not sincere about his intention because I don't even know what his intentions are. He says it's to "start new". I feel like I am walking on egg shells and I am being open and honest, like I have been, but I wasn't the one who broke trust yet I am the only one doing the things you would need to

I was also wondering if there was a mass exodus of everyone avarna which includes a huge chunk of OBC's what would India be like, the only other population to replace us would be Mohammadeans and we all saw what happened in Kashmir.

I’ve let myself down with relapsing too many times. I am going to write to myself every day on how I feel after each day, with my goal making it to the ninetieth day.

Starting off with Day 0, from this moment.

Here’s to a better me.

Hi! I recently made the decision to start again and move to another city - I've lived in London all my life but I'm over it and it's coldness.

Long story short; as the eldest daughter in an immigrant household; if you know, you know. I've spent forever being told who I am and in short - have never lived up to those expectations much to my parents disappointment - doing an apprenticeship instead of going to uni, putting my career first, being too emotional, my fluctuating weight, my dress sense, choosing not to spend my hard earned money on them, me working long hours, starting a business, not caring about traditional cultural norms of being 'ladylike' (whatever the fuck that is) and so on... it's just suffocating and to be honest, I'm not doing it anymore.

I've realised that my energy is better spent on growing and finding myself than trying to win their approval as sad as it is, I've gotta pick battles I can win.

I love them, but at the moment I can't stand them, being stuck with them during the pandemic has pushed me over the edge lol - so what better way to free myself then moving to a completely new city by myself?

I'm looking for a new group of friends; preferably my 25+ of any genders, who are into art, music, food, culture and just genuinely want to have a good time no matter what you're doing - I'm open to trying new things

About me: 25, Bi, Black - I work in Marketing and have a haircare business so am often bursting with creative ideas, filled with coffee and on edge lol. 420 friendly (hope this isn't a problem!) and always down for a G&T and weekly Sunday Roast! I can almost guarantee that I will judge your haircare products and give you hair tips and free products lol. I love a night out as much as I do staying, cooking dinner and watching documentaries - I'm gonna put this down to being a Libra

So if I sound like your cup of coffee - drop me a message and let's chat! I don't have IG atm (I'll reactive soon, but I just cba to keep up with the Joneses)

I'm excited for this move; I made this decision on a whim and I guess it's kinda catching up to me, but I really can't wait - ttyl!

EDIT: Guys I came back to say thank you so much for the love - I was so stressed this morning that I was going to be billy no-mates when I arrived but you guys have been so sweet omg, I'll make sure I'll get back to everyone tomorrow!

EDIT (27/09/21) Lol, me again - thank you for all of the love, I think the move finally hit me and I'm

Hi Everyone,

I have watched this video couple times to really decipher the message, and I believe Pastor Ed says couple points that accurately depict Gracepoint as a church – a church that twists legit Gospel and thereby encourages a cult-like practice to its members.

Context of the video: This is from Feb 2019 where Pastor Ed is preaching about Acts2 in the bible, during a Collegiate Church Planting Collaborative conference (please correct me if I am wrong).

This is the main problem I see with Pastor Ed’s message (this is solely my opinion, and my takeaway from watching the video):

He generalizes almost everything as a statement that all Christians must follow. In a way, he is implying that what Gracepoint is doing is the only correct way to properly live a Christian life.

Here is how I made that conclusion:

1. At 11:50 in the video

Pastor Ed asks – “Which is more important to you - Church vs Work?”

Pastor Ed claims that church should be more important to Christians. My problem with this answer is that he does not offer any alternatives to his answer and pigeon-holes everyone into this.

My stance as a Christian is that both church and work are equally important.

I see church as a place where Christians come to be recharged, blessed, and trained to be a source of blessing in this world (e.g., workplace). I do not think it is healthy to devote majority of one’s time to church during the week, unless you are a pastor or an elder with major responsibilities. I believe Christians should spend healthy amount of time in the world, to be a source of blessing. I am a Manager for a Quality Control group at a major pharmaceutical company, and I have 6 direct reports. It took me about 8 years to come into this role. Each one of my direct reports carry enormous baggage with themselves outside of work (e.g., dealing with domestic abuse, dealing with children, dealing with death of loved ones through COVID-19, dealing with financial problems – in general life is hard for everyone). I see my direct reports, not only as people that I delegate work to, but people that God have placed in my life to love, care for, and pray for (in secret, behind closed doors). I thank God that he has given me a genuine heart to care for these people, and I also thank God that he has placed me in a position of authority, to be able to mentor and care for the
