How do I put together a multi-product design system as a sole designer? — Hi all, my UX design journey has been chaotic but I suspect that’s normal. I was in visual/web design for about 8 years then 2 years ago I got my first UX role (after trying to pursue and study UX f…
You are already in heaven — This works better than knowing you are God. There is only one infinite consciousness expressing itself in infinite ways. But everything is within this, nothing can be outside of it. You cannot be outs…
Spring Cleaning and Change — Currently, the biggest benefit for me since the new year has been discarding items. I've gotten into a bad habit of stockpiling possessions in one room and eventually thinking I would take action on t…
Therapist gets frustrated when i freeze. Am I in the wrong? — Hey all I'm working with my third therapist and have been seeing her weekly for about 5 months. Largely it has been very insightful. She is jungian so we have been working a lot with dreams, which h…
DMT: Has anyone had experiences where existing things were *changed* rather than seeing entirely new things? — I'm interested in a specific category of DMT experience I don't see discussed much. I'm not asking about seeing entirely new environments, entities, or geometric patterns. I'm asking about experience…
My boyfriend says he loves me but left because he’s scared of arguments and the future — My boyfriend just broke up with me and I’m really struggling to understand it. He says he loves me, and I believe him. He wasn’t cold or distant before this—he was consistent, caring, and present. he…
weird timing pattern in classes and grading over the years — i've noticed a really weird pattern over the past few years and i don't know if it's just coincidence or if anyone else experiences something similar. when i go to class every single day, even if i'm…
Wtf kind of breakup is this — I am so confused. genuinely. This is between me (19F) and my now ex-boyfriend (20M). The relationship was 2.5 months, but the attachment, connection and attraction was extremely strong. He's a great …
I really like the Gene Kim's material, such as the Phoenix Project. I so enjoyed the entertaining story. It is interesting though, careful to navigate misinformation out there. DevOps is about acce…
Discussing LOB with normies is generally a kiss of death, from what I have experienced... we want to share this material, but we may be casting our pearls before swine, and a lot of the swine want to …
He wore athletic pants made of that wicking material, not cotton sweats. He mentioned sweats look like pajamas.
It was already too much info, but another idea I had is that we may experience the sense of mass, material, on Earth via light interacting with water. But in other places/planes of experience "creatio…
You have to read the source material, understand the arguments and critique the truth claims made by the philosophers. You have to DO philosophy. Not just swallow the doctrine. Ancient philosophy like…
Holy shit dude, she is NOT your best friend. Best friends don't do that to each other. She's using you while she gets her thrills elsewhere. That isn't marriage material, and you should be glad you fo…
Just to clarify, I’m Brazilian and used AI to help translate and write this post in English, but the experience described here is 100% real and exactly as it happened. I apologize for the length of t…
Gladly. I made it my choice to help people when it comes down to things like this, because I was targeted while blind :( and I think it's in my best interests to help someone else not to struggle the …
This is similar to what my response was. I agree. It may also be a way of communicating he does not think of you as potential partner material, but would be willing to use you until he meets someone w…
I think I missed your comment or Reddit didn't give me a notification or something. Either way, I agree with what you're saying and for some reason (autism) wrote a bunch of paragraphs about my though…
In my practice (both western and jyotish), I look to the following, in this order: 1. Placements of the Planets by (1) Sign, (2) House, (3) Lunar Mansion / Nakshatra 2. House Rulerships (Ex: Ascendan…
Thanks for the comment - these are valid and deep questions. I'm familiar with the duality you described and I struggled with it a lot: **The first path**, let's call it spiritual, leads all the way …
OP the answer is clear and you don't need more closure that what you already have. Yes she cheated, yes she prefer the emotion and thrill of a new relationship and doesn't want the tags and the guilt…
Follow your istinct and end it. It's not only what she did but the fact that she try to dismiss it and doesn't owe her responsibility for the betrayal of your trust. Trust me, this woman is not relati…
Get a divorce. He's riding the metabolism of his youth straight into a serious comeuppance in health complications. Also, thin isn't the same as healthy. Healthy is more complicated. This guy is try…
I’m a few years sober and this was a big hurdle for me the last few years. I’ve found reading the classic Stoic material, in particular Discourse by Epictetus, to really help build a better foundation…
When you talk to your therapist, don’t sugarcoat your actions. It sounds like you wanted to cheat on your husband so you could end the relationship. He wants to mend things. My advice would be e…
Yes! He didn’t even make you a coffee in the morning? He is not even FWB material, let alone boyfriend material. I’d block him TBH.
There are 100% men who are into it, so I absolutely wouldn’t be worried about that. At bare minimum it sounds like a solid hint that there would be many other areas where you would have incompatible…
It's trashy imo, especially going into your 30s. I only had a couple of piercings (nose and belly) but I took them out. As far as wife material, you might attract some guys but who knows if they'll b…
I’m confused. I’ve had two kids and I’ve worn shorts and tank tops their entire lives and never had an issue. If you get leggings that are made out of quality material, they Smooth things out, instea…
You got a cold harsh truth from a man looking for a wife. Now that doesn’t mean you can’t be someone’s wife material, just that he’s not the one. To answer your question directly - “do mean think……
Hey welcome to the club :P I also have a medical MJ prescription, and it has definitely not affected any of the things I've seen in the sky. It DOES affect my meditation though; it helps me get into …
I know what I’ve survived and I’m deeply grateful and proud of myself. I simply don’t compare myself to other people in the way you’ve described. Not all accomplishments are material, external, or vie…
It goes from being difficult or impossible to bend, depending on the material, to having the firmness of a paper clip, or even less firm, that you can easily bend, twist and wrap before the 'window' c…
"she didn't feel you were giving her what she needed". You were approaching things with maturity, thinking like a true guardian. As for your lass, "she wants to live little"? To what extent? I under…
I’m really glad it reached you. Now the important part is to let this become something material, not just something beautiful and true for five minutes on a screen. Tell one real person. Book one rea…
I said it elsewhere, but I think her keeping that video of her ex is very problematic. Men who do the same, keep sexy photos and videos of exes as masturbation material, get called creepy and gross al…
Op, if a guy is going sexual early, it usually means he is primarily interested in a physical relationship and he's shooting his shot. He is putting you in his SEX zone and not in his relationship z…
I haven’t read the Seth material, but I’ve read all of Monroe’s books & agree this is exactly what he says- that incarnating & reincarnating on earth is essentially addictive & he felt very much that …
Tl;dr- personal faith and historicity are independent matters. Very familiar with Dr. Erhman’s work and admire it greatly. TBH dude you sound like one of the kinds of students he mentioned in Jesus, …
This whole situation is messed up on multiple levels. First off, what happened to you with those images being spread around is literally a crime - that's revenge porn and child exploitation material, …
Where are you from, OP? In my country this would also be a matter for the Police. Definitely needs to be reported to HR. You don’t owe him anything. He lacks supports and has mental health issue…
Then it doesn't work. You have to see if you have truly applied as per the material, etc. and you can decide for yourself if it is/was worth your time. The only person who matters, the only person who…
The sci-fi writer Phillip K Dick had a very similar experience, "The Empire Never Ended" is a profound, recurring phrase from his novel Valis and his personal journals, *The Exegesis*. It signifies …
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful experience and message, and thank people like you, who bring hope by doing so, to people who don't deserve to be in Her presence and who would probably undergo p…
He broke down about you gaining 10 lbs? 🤨 This is extremely immature. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but people don't typically stay the same size throughout their life. You will likely gain w…
Hey, that was a nice read, thank you for that. I just have one question. Is it really that important to actually read books? I do a little reading / writing, but I prefer YouTube videos - I can listen…
The actual issue here is the power dynamic. Your roommate is also your boss/childhood friend, you moved out of state for this. That's a strong dependency, housing, income and social connection all tie…
Thats a free speech issue. She is entitled to have an opinion, even if it is mean. If she makes an overt lie, about something factual, like "He was fired for theft" - you could sue her for defamation…
Because for the sake of learning it's very efficient to do so without most prior knowledge. Starting from a fresh perspective to experience things much deeper than if you have preconceived notions alr…
I'm definately leaning towards "bad therapist" then. Sorry. :-/ Edit: copying this from a different ask on the subject because it seems relevant: >In EMDR Therapy transference is a symptom indicatin…
Obviously, reddit is going to be biased, we only have your side of the story, we have no way of knowing how bad you actually were before your medication change, how much pressure that put on him, or h…
I'm going to tell you what I tell my kids. Firstly, the people who say nasty things about you are just saying whatever they think can hurt you. Hurting you is the goal, it isn't to make you a better …
I get your point but there aren’t 8 billion people to be met that are relationship material, those are just the number of people in the world.
