Idk what to say. Sure everyone has been through the immense pressure lately. It's a long/painful story I'm gonna rant out below so you may ignore the post if don't wanna read.
Back in the early April right after my mocks, I was at the top of my game. Doing 4-5 past papers, revision & scoring 80 percent plus on every timed paper. I was so happy & humbled. The road to an A seemed pretty neat until in my house uncle was diagnosed with schizophrenia (dual personality). You never know what's his next move. It could be friendly, sad, emotional or even self destrctive. My room was displaced & I still managed to keep my focus on papers.
Here comes the time when I was about to "secure" a good grade in chem & bio p2s. BUT, in Pakistan the papers were cancelled. Another shock, cuz i was good at these components & the way I prepared at home, living next to a schizophrenic was already a big burden on my mental capacity.
Coming to the last week of may when I thought I already have had enough, my grandmother in the same house was struck with brain stroke. Lost sense, signals, & became fully independent on others. I along other members had to sleep late & wake up early
The day I had my physics p1, I was fighting with the questions in the examination hall while was grandmother was fighting for her life on a death bed. That day, I reched the exam venue all ALONE (w/o my parents) for the first time. Really depressed & at the same time thinking I gotta nothing to loose. It was the moment I realized my REAL test has been the "question paper" in the exam room. Rather the test has always been to "SURVIVE" & "FIGHT" against your crisis while navigating thorugh the exams.
Last nail in the coffin were silly mistakes. But right now I don't care, don't feel, anything. I've become a person with stone heart. The month I was supposed to give my best shot had just been so tough. Surely, the mental is has finished. IM DONE WITH MY LIFE. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

On Monday I was dumped via text by my long term live in partner of six years.
I have so many mixed feelings. I’m hurt and betrayed. Although the relationship wasn’t fully serving me I would have stayed with him forever for the comfort and security I felt around him. At the same time, I’m relieved because we didn’t want the same things. I wanted more love and romance, and he just wants to drink with his friends and enjoy the summer, which I can’t blame him for.
Our lives are so woven together. He has so much stuff and it’s all still here. He packed a little while getting essentials and I’ve done a lot getting his stuff separated from mine to make sure it all is ready for him (I respected his stuff). The pain is coming in waves.
While it hurts so much, and the logistics and everything are stressful and sad, and while we had so many amazing memories I do feel this is the healthiest for me. Unfortunately it doesn’t make things any easier.
I also really wonder how he’s feeling. We’ve had very little conversation since Monday morning and that conversation has only been about logistics and me sending him a Zelle request for the electric bill. I just wonder if he is in as much pain as me.
For context: I knew something was up for the past few months. Just thought it was depression. This past four weeks his communication and care diminished to the point where I was constantly crying and trying to get that love from him. We planned a talk where I would ask for more love, but before that talk I was told via text that he “didn’t feel the same anymore”. He’s also taking his cat that we raised together, which is like the nail in the coffin.

TW: child abandonment, infidelity, domestic abuse, mention of s*xual abuse
I soon found out my new husband was thousands of dollars in debt. He had cosigned for credit cards for his friends so they could purchase instruments and equipment for their band. Not a single payment had been made and he was threatened with a lawsuit. My mother encouraged me to use my savings to pay off his debt. He never stopped maxing out credit cards. His dad would give him the money to pay off his debt, and he would spend it instead. He was chronically unemployed. I would learn that women are property in his family. My dad caught him physically abusing me more than once, and tried to get me to leave. My dad ran him off several times. But I was stupid. I was scared for our child and had no recent employment history. He constantly had affairs. I would try to take college courses but would often come home to notes on the floor. He was convinced I was cheating on him anytime I left house. One note said, “I dont love you and never did. Keep the kid.” After I filed divorce the first time, my stepfather started banging on my door saying if I divorced my husband they were choosing him. He then informed me he was the “son I always dreamed of having” and made him sole beneficiary of his will after my mother. I guess my brother just didn’t make the cut. Maybe he wanted kids, but not us.
I finally left after nearly 9 years of hell. He was a fair weather father at best, but never a lapse in terrorizing me. A few years later he would meet a woman with children and move her and her two kids in with him only two weeks after meeting. As I had a hysterectomy when I was 25 due to stage IV endometriosis, he was able to convince our child these children would be her siblings and there was no way possible I could give them to our child. My own child told me, “he can give me siblings, you cant.” He basically promised our child disneyland all day every day with him. Our child said exactly this to the Guardian Ad Litem. After receiving physical custody, he left the state with his new family. My child is completely isolated from both sides of her family.
I was heartbroken and so far my mother had been supportive of me. Of course, I found out this was just another act. She had told me she hadnt talked to my former husband in years. Turns out she had not only been talking to him, but having him over to the house. I confronted her via text and she denied it. I told her I knew because my ex husband was gloating about it. She finally admitted to it and her excuses were the final nail in the coffin.
For context, my child just moved out of state and I am also days away from my appointment with a Breast Specialist. Breast cancer runs in the family, I had a massive lump, but would fortunately end up as benign inflammation. She didnt care. I reminded her of the abuse. She stated she didnt witness it with her own eyes and my ex told her it never happened. Again the “if I didnt see it, it didnt happen.” I begged her to please choose me for once. If she wants to see her grandchild it can be WITH me. I told her I cant trust her and cant include her in this potential cancer situation because my ex wrote a letter to the court saying if I had cancer I shouldn’t be allowed around our child because it will “traumatize” them. Mother told me I wasnt being fair making her choose between ME and her GRANDCHILD. I used my ex’s name every single time and she would change it to my child’s name. Over and over I begged and pleaded she didnt need to have a relationship with my ex to see our child. She would reply that I am being unfair and it is her *DUTY* to have a RELATIONSHIP with my ex for the sake of my child. Not that she was ever involved. She then reminded me that her parents did it TO HER and I would get over it. I explained to her that my dad never beat her or cheated on her. The reason there was communication between my dad and maternal grandparents was because those were the adults raising me. My dad and my maternal grandparents were the adults who raised me and took care of me. NOT HER! I told her I would never speak to her again. It’s been three years. I still have this text message exchange to this day!
Two days after our child turned 15 he sent me a text message telling we need to meet up alone in person “sometime soon” to talk. In the same message he stated that our child’s wish is that is that I commit TODAY to having dinner with our child and him on their 21st birthday and if I said no “you’re disappointing our child.” I have not seen our child sense. It’s been 7 months. Demands that I relocate to their location were made, and my unwillingness meant I didnt love my child. Another part of it is that he didn’t want me finding out he was unemployed, again. The last time I talked to them, they said they didn’t want to see me until I gave their father my medical records. His attorney had requested a hearing regarding my breasts due to the letter my ex wrote. He said ON RECORD he did not want a note. He wanted the file complete file with mammogram images. THE ENTIRE FILE. I refused. The hearing was never scheduled. My ex husband’s mother passed away from breast cancer early in our marriage. Our child knows my status, but my ex says there is no proof until I provide him with the full files and images.
I wish I could say some hearts have been changed and time healed these wounds. Social media reveals my mother and stepfather post photos of me and talk about how much they love me, although I am not on that platform. Especially on my birthday. Never once have they reached out which is fine by me. They are both social media friends with my (current) husbands mother and all of his siblings. It’s like “Single White Female-ing” an entire family and their young children. I was also sent screenshots of my mother and stepfather commenting on a picture my ex husband’s wife posted and they’re very happy she and her children are their family now. I guess there is no admiration in loving your own kids. You apparently get more admiration by serving your self proclaimed *DUTY* of forming a close relationship with your abusive ex son in law, his new wife, and her two kids.
My brother and I obviously didnt make the cut. I’m happy my mother and stepfather finally found the son and daughter they always wanted. I moved on with my life. I hope my ex husband enjoys living in my past. I feel a little sorry for his wife essentially being my replacement as both his wife and my mother’s daughter. But that’s her choice.
I’ve finally walked away into the sunset, my head held high, and both middle fingers flying.

Reddits gonna be shutting down the client I use, which is gonna make it basically impossible for me to moderate this place (I can't use the normal app because of font and color issues). In a couple days I'll reach out in the discord maybe to find some mods, it's not too hard it's basically just flairing unflaired posts and deleting unsavory stuff. I was borderline on leaving reddit anyways but this is pretty much just the last nail in the coffin. Subreddit should stay the same I'll make a new post when I'm looking for volunteers :3

A week and a half back I was in a SS lobby, there was a pres evoker in this lobby with a little higher rating than everyone else, around 1750, anyway by the time he was 0-2 he just flipped out and stated he was "AFKing to eat dinner because everyone is so sh*t", sat in gates for the last four rounds talking about peoples talents and use of globals. The warrior asked at one stage "Can you just play?" this guy responded with "I will soon when I get my next instant queue away from shitters", so you know what type of person we're dealing with.
I got baited/impatient with the attitude and said that his "tantrum is costing rating and time for 5 other people", defending one other player he was targeting by stating "the warlock has 0 rating, hardly any PvP achievements and is clearly new" and the final nail in my coffin, done with their aggressive meltdown, now aimed at me "ugh grow up c*nt" before no longer responding to them.
The whole lobby reported him for sabotage, not sure if you receive outcome in the mailbox for this but I never did. Today however, I've been served a weeks suspension for the above mentioned quotes that were all used in the report as evidence against me - because of course any talk about players being new is naturally malicious, I incited the notion he was having a tantrum, and finally, finishing up with the Australian "Can you please not" is of course unacceptable.
Just wanted to vent, I feel I got the short stick with Blizzards "Thorough investigations", which are little more than a black and white face valued reporting system tracking key criteria and ignorant of any how's or why's to a situation. How was the comment on the new player included in the ban report? I understand the wording could be used negatively or positively, but the fact it appeared on the report as an offense when I was coming to the aid of another player is just evidence that they took it as derogatory and really do not investigate anything. Going forward when people act out like this, what's the best course of action? Blocking, reporting and accepting the lost/unchanged rating and 40 minute queue time out of our lives isn't coming back? Don't they still win? That dude literally just ate his dinner, called everyone shit and trolled for the remainder of the game while ensuring no one else increased their rating, knowing they're immune to any social reprimand from players/peers because Blizzards shitty faceless reporting system works in their favor.
I wouldn't have thought I'm one to make a post over a ban, I've never been banned before. I was sent over the edge when Blizzards CSU teams appeal response included that I "Should take this time to review my behavior towards other players in their games" when I endeavor to be a really positive and sociable person in all content.
Anyway, cheers for sitting through my crypost. If there's any way to take it further beyond an appeal I'd love to know about it.

I've been there for nearly a decade, with first account created in 2013 in my freshmen year.
With each passing year, reddit's been steadily declining. Terrible UI redesigns, MORE ADS, MORE TRACKING, implementing features nobody ever asked for.
New API policy is the final nail in the platform's coffin. We discussed the future of /chrultrabook in private dev channel. Not only the subreddit will be closed if new API policy will take effect, I'll be deleting my account as well.
Those who want to follow my projects/shitposts/whatever, can find me on fedi.
Fuck big tech.

So I don't really watch new AH stuff, with Jeremy and Matt gone it's like the final nail in the coffin for me.
I love them and have done for over a decade but their new stuff just doesn't interest me...
So my point is that I mostly watch older content without a certain long-standing member of the crew who was fired.
If you know who I mean, you know.
I want to watch more of their old stuff, but this guy was in so much of it... I'm wondering if it would be wrong to watch stuff with him in, and to enjoy it?
I don't like him at all after his whole mess, but the content he helped create was amazing.
What are you guys' thoughts? Would it be wrong to watch and enjoy content featuring him, even though I don't like him?

Just wanted to document this absolutely awful experience, as a PSA for anyone to not be stupid with combining these two substances. I was stupid and I paid the price dearly.
So first off, I have got some hash that day and was smoking it and having a good time. Keep in mind that I had no tolerance at the time to weed, and a small amount of hash was enough to get me completely fucking blazed. Anyways, after a day of smoking and fucking around and taking a long nap in the middle of the day and waking up still baked as fuck, I decide it's a brilliant idea to take LSD (I had to work remote the next day.) I convince myself I will just take a Xanax once I'm coming down but this is where another problem appears, I did not actually have any benzos left, but I thought I had at least one pill. This is probably what would have saved this from becoming the trainwreck it is, but continuing...
Not wanting to get absolutely fucked, I drop half of a 200 ug tab which I have tried before and it was insanely strong. Nothing noteworthy about the tab, it kicks in fast and I am having a good time, but it is a little weak. So, I am smoking throughout the trip, hitting the bong as I feel like the trip is waning. Nothing really noteworthy, until I decide to stack a few bong hits... And this is where all hell breaks loose. As soon as I finish hitting the bong and laying on the bed, only then do I realize how badly I fucked up. I feel an incredibly unpleasant feeling of doom and confusion, like a sensation of pure evil, which scares the shit out of me. I try to make heads or tails of what is happening, but I can't. I realize that I start having an ego death experience on half a fucking tab because of the weed, and I am trying to calm myself down, but I can't. And here is what starts to happen. The visuals go completely insane, any visual input stays in my eyes as "visuals" for at least 2 seconds, which makes the entire world pretty much impossible to perceive, as I can only stay still. I cannot perceive what I am looking for, and the closed-eye visuals are soon taking over the entire world. Soon, my senses begin shutting down one by one. First goes tactile sensations (which makes me feel incredibly uncomfortable, touching something like my forehead feels incredibly unpleasant, like I am not touching myself with my hand, and that my nerves are firing for the first time in my life). Then goes smell, hearing, vision, etc... They all begin molding together and become so alien that I cannot perceive sound, smell, color or anything. At this point, I do not have a body and I disassociate every single time I have my eyes closed, I go into a state of non-existence, ego-death, where I am molding with the closed-eye visuals. I very vividly remember a room of pillars shifting around, and I could feel every single fucking pillar. There was no longer a human body, I was a consciousness plucked out, travelling around some alien realm. Except, I could not relax and just accept it, and instead I began to panic as I tried to hold some semblance of myself by getting up and moving, trying to ground myself to reality. What follows is one of the most awful experiences I had, which was basically me pacing around, taking every medicine that may kill the trip and just counting the time until the acid wore off and I was brought to reality. The trip eventually ended, but the experience has fucked me up for a few days. I could not sleep, and had to drink myself to bed after the second day. I also had to work the first day, after having that nightmare trip. On the second one, I took a day off and managed to fall asleep.
So, let's summarize what went wrong:

1. LSD + Hash with no tolerance
2. Taking it while having to work the next day.
3. Not having trip killers or a trip-sitter.

Don't be as stupid as me. I have had bad experiences before, but I guess they did not scare me enough to not be reckless with psychedelics. This was the final nail in the coffin. Do not play around with this shit, take it seriously.

On this day, Apollo officially shuts down forever and I will be quitting reddit. Reddit is not worth using anymore. What started as a fun way to interact with other has collapsed into irrelevance due to capitalism and corporate greed. The ban on third party apps was the final nail in the coffin. Words cannot explain the amount of disrespect us redditors, third party app developers, and more have gotten. What spez has done is unforgivable and unforgettable. In the meantime, I'll be doing more productive things. Fuck reddit, and fuck spez

I used to play regularly when I was younger, but as I've gotten older I feel like Riot has just made one idiotic decision after another and it was rare to see an actual win or anticipate a new addition to the game such as skins, champions and ESPECIALLY events.
The Star Guardian event was the final nail in the coffin for me because of how badly executed it was and after that I've taken a break from League, but still kept up to date with new skins, other releases and news as well as still playing TFT. I now feel that Riot has crawled out of whatever depressing whole (probably one that values finances and income over quality and freshness) they were in and actually started pouring some passion into their biggest game. It's really amazing to see.
I'm writing this post in relation to the new dev-video that was just released and I'm honestly so relieved over how the future of League is looking. I really felt great about them changing the dev-video format some months back and still am - it feels way more genuine and less "corporation announcing things to consumers". It just feels like they've listened to player feedback with the new ranked changes that have already been implemented, and now them also removing promos (thank god). On top of that the 2v2v2v2 gamemode is something I think we're all looking forward to, mostly because we're more assured that Riot is keeping their promises on this one. Skins are still somewhat missing what I personally would like to see in terms of originality and quality, apart from Faerie Court, but I think it's going to get better when they've finished rolling out the last few skin batches from the "dark era". Samira getting an ultimate skin is probably what I'm most surprised about, since I thought ultimates were a done deal after the Seraphine fiasco, but I'm really excited to see the gimmick and theme for this ultimate even though I don't play Samira.
There are still things I wish would be different, like, let's crank up the amount of ASU's and get rid of whatever 2 polygon models we still have in the game, but this is a minor complaint compared to everything Riot has been doing this past time with player negativity, ranked & item changes, skins and most importantly transparency. Riot's communication have improved so much and very quickly as well, which is something I hope will continue to be improved upon in the future.
I can see myself returning to the game very soon, because I feel like the game has shed its bad skin and that it, for me at least, can now be enjoyable and fun to play again.

Positive storytime!
I had a neurology appointment today, my last one with this particular neurologist that I've been seeing for the past two years, and she finally diagnosed me with Tourettes! Basically, I've had a diagnosis of chronic vocal and motor tic disorder, and she was holding off on diagnosing Tourettes until I got a neuropsych evaluation to see what comorbidities I have. Well, I have quite a few, as it turns out, and I told her about them today, and she was like, "okay, that's pretty much the nail in the coffin for this, it's definitely Tourettes." So, I'm just glad and happy because people get soooo confused when I say, "Oh, I have tics," they think I mean the bug, so now I can finally just say, "I have Tourettes," without having to bend over backwards to explain myself. It's a relief, really. Anyways, just wanted to share this with you all, it made my day and I'm just so happy, plus, when I had the diagnosis of just a tic disorder, you all were super helpful in my journey to live with my tics and the possible things that come with it, so thank you all so much for your support. ☺️☺️☺️❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙

Honestly that could be the final nail in the coffin of an already declining Twitter as so many people would feel vulnerable and leave, it's one of the most stupid ideas ever made

I am 28 F and my husband is 29 M. Last Christmas (2022) his mother was arrested for DV against her husband. While trying to find her in the system, my husband discovers this isn’t her first time being arrested for this. Her previous and first offense was against his dad, her first husband when my husband was about 5 years old. (She was also diagnosed with bipolar and bps during the first arrest but refuses medication because it’s government control and she’s never ever been mentally ill before).This arrest and discovering the previous was the final straw for me in having a relationship with my MIL and her husband.
Since the pandemic they had increasingly become more aggressive towards each other and other people. My MIL takes pride in yelling at customer service, threatened to cut off my arms because of the vaccines I received, got deep into Qanon, threatened me when I wouldn’t steal ivermectin from work and continuously accused me of being paid by the government to lie to people about the pandemic - just to name a few things. She has also tried to make my husband take her side in arguments or agree with her I’m a “jezebel” with nephilim blood. When he didn’t, she went irate screaming about where his loyalties lie.
Her husband is no better. He was also in the same Q rabbit hole and had the same accusations towards me. He’s been sexually inappropriate. He is also convinced that everyone else is a liar when they call him out on his behavior and hypocrisy.
These two are addicted to hatred and rage. So as you can probably imagine, they’re marriage wasn’t a great one, which leads to arrest on Christmas weekend. MIL couldn’t keep her story straight whereas special forces vet husband was able to keep his straight, so she went to jail. Prior to this my husband and I kept our distance but this really put the final nail in the coffin for me.
Fast forward to current, MIL is currently staying with her mom and is trying to get a divorce lawyer. Turns out, while she was in jail, her cell mates daughter, 18-19F, needed a place to stay due to being homeless. She moved in with MIL and her husband at the start of the new year. Last week she told MIL that her husband was being inappropriate and didn’t feel safe and is moving out. There is also accusations that he is sleeping with a family friend. Hence why she is getting a lawyer.
My husband is in a sticky situation because he wants to be there for his mother, I get it. I’ve told him I’m not banishing him from talking to her, that’s their relationship. I don’t want to jump right back into a relationship with her or be around her. She’s escaping a two way abusive relationship, previous arrests, and is explosive. I feel bad for her because divorce from an asshole is never easy, but she isn’t innocent either. I have a general rule of “if I had kids would I trust them with this person? If not, then I also don’t need a relationship with them” and that’s where I am at. I empathize that she’s in a shit situation. However, even previously I’ve helped her find therapists, encouraged her to stay away somewhere, explained to her how dangerous their relationship is etc., but now she is saying the whole world is out to get her and no one has ever done anything for her. I can’t make her do anything, she’s a legally competent adult and police have already been involved. So am I a jerk for wanting nothing to do with her situation and keeping to myself?

I am a bit confused as to how the new MMR was calculated this season. Before the reset my duo mate was 1340 while I was at 1300, now after the reset he is at 1210 while I dropped all the way down to 1035. I'm higher rated than him in each one of the other modes, so that shouldn't be a factor. Also stumped as I expected the season reset to have a higher impact the further you are from the mean, i.e. expecting him to drop more points comparatively.
This might be the final nail in the coffin for me, playing 2s with them was pretty much the only thing I still enjoyed about this game.
Some more transparency about the reset mechanism on Psyonix part would have really been appreciated, now I'm just stumped.

Ill just drop my 2 cents here on each capcom series i've taken part of and why they now flunk.
Resident evil. Resident evil 4 set the beginning of the end in motion for the series. The frantic, tight fixed angles that i had come to truly adore were now gone forever in exchange for linear rail shooter style. I still played through it a few times though but did not enjoy it. Resident evil 5 was very much better than 4 imo, and i think 5's formula could have been a good one to keep around. 6 messed it all up though. I played the demo/beta and just said nope and never went back. Then 7 came and completely changed the formula AGAIN! This in itself, is a prime way to incite the wrath of diehard fans of the OG trilogy like myself. Coupled with the fact that they will probably never make a new classic style RE again, and that they, for no good reason, refuse to re-release the classic trilogy for modern consoles (yet they do for their other series, i have 3 different versions of DMC hd collection for xbx360 and xbxone) it becomes easy to see why i have just lost all faith in capcom and i have not nor will i ever play 7,8, 2 and 3 remake etc.
Speaking of devil may cry! This series made up for resident evils shortcomings, at least until somewhat recently. Every title was great until Dmc5. I absolutely hated playing as V and they force you to use him through too much of the game. I would have overlooked and forgiven this if they had included lady and trish as playable characters in dmc5 SE, but they didn't! Completely unforgivable. Dmc4 SE had them, so why not 5? Subsequent releases in a series are supposed to be improved, and with more features! Not the other way around. That was the final nail in the coffin for me and capcom. I am not even including the failed DmC reboot in this because i am not acknowledging its existence lol
Now for DisHonorable mentions.
That trailer for that new dinosaur game where they hinted at a red haired girl named regina but it turned out it wasn't even dino crisis. This disgusts me. They're openly trolling their fans whom they also depend on for money. It's like pulling up to a drive thru just for the clerk to then spit in your face and proceed to throw a bunch of eggs and soft drinks at you and your car.
Megaman legends. Im not mad about this one, i just think it has great potential and should be revived
Monster hunter world and rise. Bad controls and game mechanics, too many text walls, not enjoyable in the least. The quality of these games MIGHT have been acceptable on ps1/ps2
Bottom line/follow up, they change their games too much. Trying to be like other game series and companies. Trying to be good at everything but instead being good for nothing.
Theres my unpopular opinions, and if you read this far I thank and salute you!
