I don't care If I have to pay I'm sick of seeing red and blue squiggly Lines in every sentence. I love writing but it makes it so hard when I have to edit myself so often because I can't spell basic words.
Because I was dyslexic I fell behind fast and school kept going on without me so I had to to learn on the fly about language was picked up from what I saw with no understanding of the basics
I love creative writing but I just get frustrated when I try to do it because I spend so much time fixing misspellings or not even having a clue how to spell something so I go on Google and try to get close enough to get the right word in the recommendations and feeling embarrassed to share it because I have no Idea how to use commas or basic grammar that it feels like it turn out unreadable.
Please help I'm just sick of dealing with this and ready to fix this any help would be appreciated I no there's text to speech and grammarly but I don't want to use that as a crutch when I can just learn
Edit: thanks for I posted this before sleeping and now I have to go to work I'm going to read them but thanks for the help I didn't expect this much from Reddit
Edit: I didn't expect for too many people to respond. I read almost everyones comment and still do so. It's a very interesting read and for some reason, it made me a lot more motivated to learn my TL's.
Thank you for everyone who participated! Have fun learning everyone!
If anything I feel like I'm regressing.
I (25F) was in a toxic relationship from age 19-23, I was raised in a Christian cult sort of like a fundamentalist but not quite as extreme and this man was my first, I say that to say I had some very problematic views of how relationships worked and this was taken advantage of. I knew I wanted a bdsm relationship but I didn't know at the time how to do it in a healthy way I suppose. I am %100 a submissive, we never got too crazy into things, mostly power play, forced orgasms, spanking, etc. Even when I left him because I knew the relationship was toxic I did not realize that this aspect of it was wrong, that I was punished in anger over having emotions, if I dreamed of sexual things with another person, especially if I dared to call out controlling behavior somehow he could get me so twisted around I'd be apologizing to him and ask him to punish me because I felt such guilt. We did have a safeword. But I felt like a disappointment if I used it and often it would be ignored anyways, either because he was close or because he "knew I was enjoying it anyways". After I left him I swore off relationships, I truly didn't think I'd ever be serious with anyone again, only casual sex, and I was okay with that. Until I met my current boyfriend last year. We'd been talking a couple months when I found myself in a situation with someone else who came onto me and I found that I didn't have the ability to say no, I truly didn't know how, even with me screaming at myself in my head that it felt wrong I didn't want it. I couldn't stop it. And that brought about the realization of 2 things, 1 that I seriously need to work on this inability to say no and having boundaries, and 2 that I did really care about my boyfriend and I wanted to be with him. We have been together for a year and a couple months now, he is a wonderful person. Kind. Respectful. Funny. Helpful. Fucking amazing in bed. He is my partner. And has really helped me to realize what a healthy relationship can be and should be. I trust him explicitly, I love him, I plan to be with this man as long as he'll have me. I thought I had resolved this issue of not being able to use a safeword, I thought so because I trust him and logically I know beyond a doubt that he would respect my use of it, that it wouldn't be a disappointment, it's a healthy boundary, I know he loves me and doesn't want to hurt me. But I haven't needed to use a safeword. Until 2 weeks ago when he used a little bigger toy, and it hurt, and he

Somehow I got a job as a process engineer after 5 years in a lab job (hired out of college). I have 0 work experience in anything engineering related.
I got my degree but was a C student. I even failed and has to retake Intro into Chem E......add that to a 5 year gap, so I'm pretty sure I remember absolutely nothing from school.
I really worried I'm going to fail at my new job. I got about a month before it starts. To you guys who have been working in the industry, what do I need to focus on relearning? I don't want to be that person who everyone questions how they got hired even though I'm questioning that myself lol
Edit: I'll be working in the chemicals industry. Primarily will be determining specifications for analyzer equipment and working with vendors for the equipment. Possibly also troubleshooting and inspecting at plant site.
For starters, I'm 31. I've been playing since I was 10-11. I took lessons for the basics until I got to high school where I started learning on my own and quit lessons as I got into sports. I can learn virtually any song I pick up through tabs and through that I've learned technique, etc (your classic self taught guitar player).
My issue is that I've hit a wall where I want to be more creative with it, but I don't feel like I the knowledge of the instrument that's needed to do so. I can't jam with people, I can't improvise, I can't follow along or recognize things unless committed to memory I can really just play alone. I became very frustrated with this 3-4 years ago and have mostly stopped playing, but I'm trying to pick it back up. I really want to be a more well rounded player and since I'm so out of practice I'm very open to suggestions.
TL;DR Does anyone have resource suggestions that would be good for someone who is self taught and plays by ear, but wants to be more intentional and knowledgeable? Goal is to unlearn bad habits and build a better knowledge base.
This is a repost of the same thing I posted a couple of weeks ago. The reason is that no one saw that one because it was posted at around 4 am GMT when most of Reddit was inactive.
I would like to make it clear that this is only partly original and that the friend of mine who I was discussing this with said I should post it here.
My idea is that it's weird how Pokemon tend to 'forget' old moves for good once you try to teach it an extra fifth move. What if every time a Pokemon levelled up to a point where it gets to learn a move, instead of saying "Pidgeotto would like to learn Wing Attack," it would say "Pidgeotto can now learn Wing Attack."
What we could then do is go to the Pokemon menu and from a series of moves that it is capable of learning, select any 4 that we would like to use in battle at this current point in the game. This can sound broken, but if we limit it to moves that it learns by level up to that point, as well as moves that you have unlocked from the story (replacing TMs), then it wouldn't be as broken. Basically a Move Reminder but free of cost and accessible anywhere. This isn't any more broken than reusable TMs in my opinion. What if I want to use Sand-Attack again, but I've already taught it Mirror Move? I can then go back to my Pokemon's move history (in a sense) and make it relearn Sand-Attack in place of Mirror Move.
Now if this makes the game 'too easy' then I don't have much of a counterargument. I just think that convenience and easiness aren't the same things and that there are other ways to make the game harder to 'compensate' for this.
Edit: Apparently since I haven't played SwSh, I missed the fact that they have this kind of concept already. On another note; you can post your opinion about it here in the comments
I find myself forgetting a lot of important topics/skills years after I've learned them. For example, I forgot most of what I knew about differential equations, fluid mechanics, circuits, and even stats. Now I have to relearn everything years after I took the classes. Is this a thing most engineers go through?
So I used to train HEMA regularly, but that was 5 years ago. Recently I decided I need to get active agian since Covid caused me to take up a worryingly sedentary lifestyle. A few weeks ago I started sparring agian for the first time and I was frankly surprised by two things. One, things like distance management, edge alignments, and guards have come back very instinctively, and two, I am getting lit up inspite of it. My ability to parry has diminished greatly, I can attack but simply seem to lack the reflexes I once had, I'm rarely able to move in time even though I read the opponents blade coming. Frankly, my defense is actually significantly worse than it was when I first started, likely the result of my sedentary lifestyle as of late. So my question is, what are some good ways to focus on recovering my defensive skills? How can I work on not only building my skills back up, back also getting my reflexes back?
I got a bike for Christmas to try to get back into shape, as I am very overweight now. It's been well over 20 years since I've ridden a bike. I know that they say it come back to you easily, but I am worried about falling and getting hurt, especially since I'm in very different shape than I was when I last rode.
So, I am looking for a place to relearn how to ride. Ideally, I'd love a huge, open parking lot. Flat paved surfaces without something I can run into or obstacles to avoid. Like maybe the lot of a closed down big retail store or something.
I am in Herndon and work in Leesburg, but can travel a ways east or west if there is a good spot. Can anybody think of any good suggestions?
Thanks!
Basically the title, I was originally a switch player and then I moved to Xbox which wasn’t that hard of a thing to do just had to relearn the timings for super glides. Pc movement feels more difficult and less intuitive to try and learn. Any tips?
If I have already learned something on my own previously and a teacher is teaching the same thing to the class, I become defensive in my head about the knowledge I have and don’t want anyone else to learn what I have learned. What can I do to drop my ego and let myself relearn and learn new things I could’ve not known before and let other people enjoy topics I enjoy too?
- If you read about it, you forget within moments.
- All the words for poop and the pooping parts of the human anatomy seem to be in a foreign language to you. Your eyes can't rest on them, your mind can't get a handle on them, and you forget this oddness within moments.
- If you witness a human or animal do it, you react appropriately, but forget within moments. Only the trauma remains.
- You poop on your normal schedule. Nothing about the act is changed, only that you know nothing about it beforehand. You don't know what is happening to your body and you don't know what to do afterwards. It's always a surprise. Within fifteen minutes, only the trauma remains.
- You know all about peeing. You're not an idiot.
For an extra £50,000 per annum, your bathroom (or extrabathroomal pooping) experiences are put on a YouTube channel, with your private parts censored. Of course you can never view this channel and you will forget about it if you do.
Do you take the deal?
What steps would you suggest to improve your quality of life afterwards?

I’m starting college in the fall, my major is computer science. During highscool I was terrible at math and never studied, and since I took a gap year I literally forgot everything about math. Any tips on how to relearn math? Tools? Should I get a tutor?
I took CMSC 202, the semester covid happened, and I have been away from UMBC ever since. I am returning to complete my degree, and I take CMSC 341 next semester. Can I get myself ready on my own, or should I take 202 again since it has been a long time? Also, does anyone know any courses that I can use to get myself prepared since UMBC does not take 202 in the winter?
We had the P2764 and P0700 pop up yesterday and I assumed there was no way we'd ever be able to fix the Impreza ourselves, but the valve body seems like an easy replacement aside from the cost. It does specify doing a relearn with a Subaru scan tool, but it seems a lot of people have done this without a scan tool. Anyone have personal experience that they'd care to share?
Why YSK: Our bodies have an amazing capacity to heal, but incorrectly handling day to day tasks can cause wear and tear leading to irreparable damage. Sometimes not even surgery can fix the damage.
I'm going to list below some tips that I never properly learned while growing up. Now I have to deal with the consequences because somethings can't be fixed. I encourage you to look through the list because I had no idea until I started having issues:
Dental care: There are proper ways to brush your teeth. Brushing your teeth too hard, too long or with a hard brush scrapes off enamel and makes your gums recede. You might not notice because it happens slowly overtime. But one day your roots will be exposed and your teeth will be permanently yellow (the dentin under your enamel is yellowish brown). This is expensive to fix with gum grafts and eventually dentures. Seriously. Get an electric tooth brush or a very soft/soft tooth brush. DO NOT buy a 'hard' toothbrush.
Blowing your nose: There is also a proper way to blow your nose. You need to blow gently and NEVER completely compress one nostril. The mucus can't go out the closed nostril obviously, so all you're doing is forcing it through your Eustachian tube and your middle ear. This causes ear infections which slowly degrade your hearing overtime. The middle ear is behind your ear drum and can't be drained through your ear canal (unless your ear drum bursts). Also depending on the pathogen this can potentially be life threatening being near your eyes and brain.
Picking/cleaning your nose: Don't be too rough 'picking your nose' either with your fingers or kleenex. The skin in your nostrils is thin and can be permenently damaged causing frequent nose bleeds. I pretty much think about a kleenex and my nose starts bleeding. To my knowledge the only way to fix this issue is to have the area cauterized because I've worn the tissue down too far to heal.
Posture and muscle instabilities: If you workout or are in a physically taxing job you can build imbalances in your muscles. In my case I worked my chest and biceps more than my back and had daily back pain for 4-5 years before I realized what was going on. I had 'Upper Cross Syndrome' where my chest was way tighter than my back muscles. The

So I’m trying to relearn to stim and I was wondering what your guys favourite stims are.
Some of mine that I’ve found so far are tapping each finger to my thumb, rocking, sucking my bottom lip (if anyone has something that will substitute this well I would appreciate it as it can be embarrassing at school and I often don’t notice I’m doing it), tapping my palms together and tapping my two thumbs together then my pinkies together (kind of an opening a book motion.
My Wooden Pillar diy has disappeared from my diy tab and not showing up in my craftables tab. Looks like I won’t be using that any time soon as it’s an HHP diy… Is there any way to get it back? Or am I just doomed to not crafting it… never had this happen before..
