Bed bath and beyond sheets

My relationship with my girlfriend of 5 years is fading
I (22M) and my girlfriend (22F) have been together for 5 years. We’ve known each other since our freshman year of highschool and got together in our sophomore year. In the beginning of our relationship it felt amazing. It felt as if the whole first 9 months was a never ending honeymoon phase. We of course had our disagreements and arguments, but they were always resolved quickly and we would go to bed happy with each other. Over time we got comfortable with each other and I had really felt that this was going to be the girl I was going to spend the rest of my life with. We made plans for our future, had dreams and goals, and we always included and imagined each other to be in our future’s. Recently as of 6 months ago the relationship felt almost cold. We still loved each other and showed each other affection, but I could feel that she was slowly losing interest in me. I feel as if we got too comfortable with each other, and due to past trauma that my girlfriend has, she can’t commit to being with me. About two months ago she told me that she thinks we should break up. I was obviously devastated by this since I was still so in love with her that I couldn’t imagine myself ever living without her. After a long conversation on the phone with her, I got her to give this relationship another chance. I believe that she wanted to end things with me as she no longer loved me romantically, she was going through a lot of stress with her school. About half a week after I got her to give the relationship another chance we had our anniversary. We spent the day together and I felt that we had a great time. She was happy the whole time and we were able to share a lot of laughs together. But less than a week later the relationship started to grow cold again. I was worried of losing her and I did anything I could to get her to stay with me. I told her every problem that our relationship had and how I would work on these problems to give her a perfect relationship. This pleading of me telling her that I will fix the relationship continued for about a month, and I do believe I was working on our problems. Even after all of it I could feel her resentment growing for me. I can still make her laugh, but deep down I can feel she doesn’t want to be with me anymore. I need help and I need to know if there is anything I can do to bring back what we once had, or is it all a lost cause?

In my mid to late thirties now, I've realized lately that I've lost over a third of my entire life, and more than half of my adult life, to destructive routines centered around immediate gratification. I've justified it every which way whilst also crushing my self worth with endless criticism in front of the mirror as I crack my 3rd beer at 1am.
I've justified the drinking, convincing myself that 3-4 beers nightly is a vast improvement over 8-10 beers 3-4 times per week. I DO think it is a vast improvement, but I'm not willing to take incremental steps anymore.
I've been sick with one thing or another since about December and I just can't seem to get better. I feel like utter and complete shit right now. This scares me and it's got me worried about the long term effects of all the booze and tobacco over the last 15 years finally catching up to me.
Long ago I had a scare and came to terms with my own mortality, yet much of the negative influence remains intact. Now, whilst I may be at peace philosophically with death, I cannot come to terms with the potential loss to those around me. I'm unwilling to allow my 1yo son to lose his father, especially like this.
It's time I got my shit together. I both know exactly what I need to do and absolutely nothing that I need to do. I've tried a ton of stuff before. The "do something principle" works, but is often thwarted by the mindset that anything worth doing is worth doing right, not just doing something for the sake of doing it. I can't "trick myself" into doing something I don't feel like. I just don't know where to start that won't send me down a spiral of depressed self doubt and floundering confidence.
I will go to bed early and sober tonight, within the hour, and just hope to sleep for more than the typical 4 hours of booze induced "sleep" I've been getting lately. I've never felt this tired and defeated, and man I've been through it a time or two.
Apart from the forcing myself to bed early and hoping for a long nights sleep, what strategies do you employ to jump start a change in both mindset and routine?

So the second season was recently released on Disney+ which is great because I just binged the first season. However I usually watch it in bed when I’m up with my baby so I have to keep the volume low, thus subtitles are on. For whatever reason this episode doesn’t have any subtitles and I basically had to watch it with no context the first time. Has anyone else experienced this? All the other episodes have subtitles as far as I could see.

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to share my recent experience with depersonalization.
It all started when I had a little too much weed and i had a whole week of really bad depersonilization. As i started to get better i got happier and returned to my normal lifestyle. The week following, i noticed a slow decline in my mental health, like i was slowly falling back into a depersonilized state. I just ignored it and carried on. It wasnt until the week after i fell into this bad spell of DP, this time it was worse. My anxiety was at an all time high and depressed to the point i was ready to kill myself. This again lasted a week.
This whole time i blamed the weed and i blamed myself. I had no traumatic experiences in my life and i was just lost. I reflected on what couldve been the cause until it dawned on me. Ever since i started my full time job last year, my sleep had been cut back significantly. I only got around 4-6 hours every night, on top of that i was having 300mg of caffeine in the mornings and 300mg at night before gym. Imagine doing this almost everyday for a year.
I believe my brain was already on the edge of collapse and it was the weed that just pushed it over. Then as i recovered the first time i returned to the bad habits of caffeine and sleep deprivation and fell into DP deeper and harder. Its only now i realise im lucky enough to catch this and focus on getting at least 7-9 hours of sleep before a day of work and completely cutting out caffeine and I am back to normal (a little tramautized still though) following good sleep hygiene.
All i want you to take away from this is focus on your sleep, make sure you go to bed at the same time everyday getting at least 8 hours and dont take caffeine after lunch. I know this may not apply to everyone going through DP but i just hope theres someone out there that this could possibly relate to.
I wish everyone luck with their journey of DP, i know its an incredibly uncomfortable feeling. I know everyone says this but it DOES get better!

I wanted to extend an invitation to come play Deadlands: the Weird West, a table top RPG taking place in a fictional American West where monsters from camp fire tall tales come to life, card slinging wizards fighting demons to cast their spells, mad scientists use a new superfuel called ghost rock to power steam punk devices, preachers roam the plains performing real miracles, and gunslingers can come back from boot hill as one of the undead with a demon always trying to wrestle control from them.
If you like DnD but want to try a different, richly stylized setting, this is a very fun setting to try out.
I’ll be running a one season game from 2 until 5:30pm this Sunday June 4th. No experience necessary, New players welcome! No fee to play, but please consider buying some snacks or dice from Zeeks while you’re there. I’ll have pre-generated characters with power summaries and tip sheets for game rules. We’ll also have dice to loan out if you don’t have your own.
You can find more info about the setting at

From a gameplay perspective, our ghost stays "invisible" until we die, but canonically, couldn't they just stay invisible forever, even beyond a guardian's death?
What's stopping a ghost merely from staying invisible after their guardian dies and fleeing to the next hemisphere over or staying invisible until the situation clears up?

I've been watching a lot of body mist videos on youtube and heard theres gonna be a sale at bath and body works soon. Currently I only have one body mist from them that a friend gifted to me Japanese cherry blossom. Which scents are your favorite? I personally like sweet floral feminine scents. Please recommend me some of your favorites.

I did not have too many great male role models in my life.
My dad was depressed. Had anger fits. Left a few times. Hit us. You know? Typical abusive shit. Growing up, he used to tell these stories proudly about his childhood where he’d throw rocks at police cruisers, get arrested…toxic stuff.
As an adult I don’t have much a relationship with him. When I was a teen he’d put me down because I had bad skin, and I think he was overall ashamed of me. I mean he wasn’t an awful dad. He went to my ball games, taught me to drive and would play catch or whatever. His favorite thing to call me was a, “catholic Jew just like your grandfather” because I didn’t like to spend money.
My grandfather was a colorful man. At least from how my dad described him. Supposedly he flew from Florida to Cuba in a 4 seater plane with his buddies as a young man. Then he beat a Cuban man with a lead pipe before flying back. He climbed up a church steeple when he was a m boy and the fire department had to get him down. And my dad frequently spoke about the beatings he received from him fondly. Like the physical abuse he endured was a big fucking joke.
Supposedly I got some suppressed memories of my grandfather. When I was really young all I remember was that he was intimidating, but as I got older he softened. I remember him playing Mario Kart with me; showed me how to mow a lawn, he played chess with me too, and we’d do little woodworking projects when I visited him.
What I don’t remember is him beating me. Not until my little brother said as much to me. I guess there was a time he was babysitting us, and my brother remembers our grandfather wailing on me in bed. And for some reason when I try think about it happening, all I do is start crying. Even now. It’s weird. I remember my dad hitting me, but I don’t really feel that upset about it.
I’d say we were pretty close. More than 15 years ago my parents got a divorce, my grandparents moved away and we drifted apart. He died of cancer a while back.
He actually left us a letter. When I was younger I found it to be sentimental, as grown man it just makes me angry that he felt the need to leave us a letter for things he couldn’t say to us when he lived.
My childhood or life in totality seems less eventful compared to the both of these family members. I got into to trouble as a kid, but just like ding-don’t ditch stuff. Dennis the Menace shenanigans. As adult the shittiest thing I’ve done his cheat on my wife (I told her). I can say some hurtful things too, but can’t say I ever physically hurt someone.
I feel like I’m broken. Not sure what I’m doing. I’m in therapy, which helps a little, but I still really lack that male mentor thing.
It’s actually kind of ruined my relationship with my FIL. Every time the guy tries to help, offer advice, or straight tell me what I should be doing, I get pissed off. Being around him is suffocating. I become indignant, asserting that I don’t need his help because I want to figure out things on my own.
That’s all I got.

Please deport Yan Limeng from the US!
-- As an Asian-American, today I fight the stigma of Asians.
Racism and physical attacks on Asians and people of Asian descent are spreading in the United States in the wake of the COVID-19 virus pandemic. Many believe that former President Donald Trump's "China virus" and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's "Wuhan virus" have fueled the spread of hate speech in the United States. But what is often overlooked is that it was Hong Kong expert Yan Limeng who stamped the "legal seal" on the rumor of their virus's origin.
Guo Wengui, a wealthy exiled businessman, and Bannon, a former White House staffer, brought Ms. Yan from Hong Kong to spread false research conclusions in the media, convincing more Americans that the Covid-19 virus came from an Asian lab. Although the claims have since been dismissed as "baseless" by several US research institutions and the World Health Organization, hate speech against Asians has spread widely on social media and gained support from many public figures in the community and beyond.
According to statistics from “Stop AAPI Hate”, 2,808 anti-Asian incidents were recorded in 2020, of which 240 were physical assaults. In 2021, hatred against Asians escalated. Atlanta, Georgia, was the scene of an extremely violent March murder of six Asian women by a gunman. And on Friday, the day after the law was passed, a 61-year-old Asian man was knocked to the ground and seriously injured after being repeatedly trampled on the head by a mob in New York.
Innocents are mutilated, and the initiator lies in bed. Anti-Asian racism is deeply rooted in the formation of American history and in the hearts of every non-Asian American. Guo Wenmei, Bannon and Yan Limeng are the people who opened the bottle and let out the genie. As one of the Asian organizations that fight against discrimination and racism, this sad reality has prompted us to write this article in the hope that we can use this article to call on more righteous people to join in the fight against discrimination against Asian people and call for the punishment of those responsible for the misinformation and stigma of Asian people.
On April 24th, we launched the "Justice Gathering Against the Stigma of the Epidemic and the Mutilation of Asians" on Twitter. In a plaza in front of the Sherry Holland building on Fifth Avenue in New York City, we joined thousands of New Yorkers in a loud protest against Guo and Bannon for spreading false rumors about the epidemic and its impact on Asian Americans.
This is near Guo Wengui's residence. We made the rumourmongers feel deeply the anger of the Asian victims and our determination not to condone the slander.
Not surprisingly, our peaceful rally was harassed by Guo Wengui's supporters, who tried to scare us into cowering with insults, intimidation, and destruction of signs. But the clampdown, which is laughable and ineffective, confirms their fear that the truth will be exposed and punished.

My white Hyundai sonata was taken from the parking lot across the street from El Pueblo corner mart and Elcarajo sport bar. The parking lot is right on the corner of virginia st. and west ave in buffalo, ny. My car was previously broken into a couple months ago (rear passenger window completely smashed and ignition tampered with) but it was never stolen. I wasnt able to afford to put a new window in it so i covered it to the best of my ability with a plastic shower curtain and white duct tape. Fast forward to today, i walk out to my car so i can get groceries and its gone. I have a UAlbany sticker on the windshield (passenger side) and a green circle sticker on the driver side windshield that says “permit” written in red or white- ironically the sticker is, or at least was, my parking permit for the parking lot my car was stolen from. I attend Ualbany and im currently trying to pay off my last semester (5000$) before the next upcoming fall semester so i can attend. I cant go to work without my car, therefore i cant pay the 5000$ to attend college. And If i do find a job where i can commute via public transportation, all that money will be redirected into buying a new car because i commute about an hour and 15 minutes to college and without a car, what am i suppose to do? Take a 200$ Uber? Im going to have to wait until the spring semester- which at that point i dont even want to attend anymore. Im sick of life treating good people badly. I had a stuffed bunny in my car, i had it since i was a baby. It was extra sentimental because i had gotten it before my dad passed away. Its the only physical thing i have that connects me to that point in my life. Whoever took my car, you took away the most important part of my childhood. I miss my dad everyday, you know he died in the bed with me and my mother? I woke up laying next to my dead fathers body, to my mom screaming bloody murder, red and blue lights bounced along the walls. I was a young kid, all i had after that was my stuffed bunny and you TOOK THAT. Please help me find my car, i need my stuffed bunny. Its the only thing i have from when he was alive. My mother also just got diagnosed with a rare brain disease which doesnt make this situation any better. In fact, it makes it 10000x worse. Now im 4 hours away from her with no car! All i want is to research cancer and help all people, thats why im devoting my college years to biochemistry and molecular biology, so one day, i CAN actually be researching cancer and helping humanity. Dont know if that’ll be possible considering i can never catch a break in life. Im a poor college student, not rich. My last 20$ that i was going to use for groceries was in my car. I also have to start going to the hospital for my monthly checkups so this definitely makes it harder. Im so so so done with life. Please share this post and If you see my car please let me know…

Man dating women is absolutely brutal as a dude. I’m 29, have had no shortage of relationships and situationships with attractive girls going back to early HS I guess, but they all follow the same trajectory.
Whether it’s a girl I’m in an 8 year relationship with, a 6 month relationship, a 4 month situation, a first date etc the ones I really want/ like / love all lose interest in me. I have no problem getting girls into bed, I’m a decently good looking, in shape 6 foot tall dude so I’m not like at any glaring disadvantage physically, but I just cannot for the life of me keep the ones I like / love. I’m not like good looking enough where tons of girls are throwing themselves / their numbers at me and I have endless opportunities every day, so I definitely put more weight into the opportunities when they arrive.
How do you guys deal with the thoughts of like maybe I just can’t keep attractive 20 something girls interested in me? I know the answer - you move onto another one, but what about when you keep ending up in the same boat where the other one becomes the one no longer wants you like the last ones. Like I believe there are attractive girls in the world I haven’t met yet who will be attracted to me, but I just don’t have much confidence in my ability to keep her if that makes sense
It’s not just me, I have single guy friends who would echo the same feelings today. OLD / instant access for them def plays a part.

Hey all,
I have a 3-month old cattle dog cross and I’m deeply worried that he’s going to turn into a reactive dog.
I already have a 5-year old cattle dog mix, but I can’t remember (or maybe I’ve blocked it out lol) him being quite this bad when he was this young.
My younger dog resource guards. With his toys, food, chew toys, me, anything. Thankfully my older dog is well socialized and doesn’t instigate anything and reads cues and I’ve been trying to desensitize him with high value trades and leaving him be.
Not to mention, he lunges, chases, and growls/barks at random strangers and dogs walking by. Will full on fly into a rage, even if I try to distract and turn a different direction, treat/click for neutral behavior, etc. He’s fine after he meets them, but some people are afraid/some dogs are not friendly and I’m not sure if he’ll outgrow this or not with the right intervention.
He also, when accidentally pinched or played with too hard by my older dog, will SNARL and absolutely lose his everloving mind snapping and biting at my older dog (who is an absolute gentle boy, he usually reacts by jumping on the bed or moving away). Even when the play ends, the younger one will continue to dog him and bite at his face/neck, all while growling what I dub his “gremlin growls”.
Lastly, he’s got some of the WORST separation anxiety I’ve ever had to try and manage. It doesn’t matter the highest value treat I give him (Kongs, bullies, etc), the moment I leave for work, he’ll be barking for HOURS. (I’m a single person, so I unfortunately don’t have much of a choice in terms of when I work; I don’t work many days but my shifts can range from 4-6 hours)
I try to wear him out beforehand- training, yard time, taking him to stores and on our walks (in a baby bjorn lol)- but he’s got that typical cattle dog energy so he’s amped to bark the entire time I’m out at work.
We do enforced naps, and he sleeps well in his crate…. until I leave the room.
I don’t know. I’m worried I’m setting him up for failure. I’m well-versed on the breed, have had many years of experience, but this is a new level of mental that I’m not sure if I’m reading into wrong because I’m worried or if it’s a legitimate concern. I’m genuinely considering returning him to the rescue because while I have the time for a puppy, I’m not certain these are behaviors I have the time and resources to manage properly.
I’d just like a little advice, maybe some kind words. I’m trying to do my best but I’m just so tired and worried and I don’t know what to do.

Are they not the most logical choice to convert to ev with their small size and low center of gravity? If you sacrificed several inches of the bed and half the load capacity would it not still be more efficient than trying to electrify an entire f150?

I'm confident that I'm good at it, I have amazing references, a lot of varying experience and I just have it down to a science. It's taught me a ton of valuable and useful skills. The job I've had the longest is my favorite job so far. My co-workers are like family, I like most of the regular customers and I genuinely enjoy the work I do. Me and the office manager run that store and a lot is entrusted in me.
But, recently changes have been implemented. Basically, corporate is trying to eliminate office employees and have sales employees do it all. They are doing this to save money, but they are actually losing money. I believe not everyone is suited for sales and or customer service work. And I can literally see they are losing money from reports. As a result, they've cut 10 of my hours. Which, puts me into part-time and ive lost my benefits. I keep hoping they will see what a giant mistake this is and give me my hours back but I know it's highly unlikely.
It sucks because this is the only job I've actually liked. But, I may have to quit because I need 40 hours at least and its hard to find part-time with the hours i have. I've put so much effort into this job that I didn't have to. I actually care and tried to go above and beyond. We always had the least amount of errors out of all the stores. Whenever the other stores needed help, they always called us. I know it's a given with corporate companies that you're just a number. Its not even just this one job, it's a culmination of just customer service in general.
A lot of the time, you're not even treated like an actual person and you're talked to like you own the company and everything is your fault. I've been screamed at, called slurs, sexually harassed, personally insulted (like asking if I finished high school, implying I'm stupid) shit, the stories I could tell you. I have a life too, I have problems like everybody else. You dont know whats going on in my life any more than I do you. So, to periodically deal with people being so rude and unhinged, when you're really doing your best to help is so demoralizing.
I get that a lot of company policies are annoying and sometimes unfair, but it sucks that we have to deal with the brunt of their anger. And it's not our fault, its just the company we work for. That's why I make these policies explicitly clear to every customer I take care of. But we still get customers upset about it, especially since we've started a new phone system where we handle calls for other stores too. Some days, I just want to quit and just stream video games to make money. I'm just so used to this line of work, I love my co-workers, I'm good at it and I could potentially find a better job with the experience I have. I'm undecided but thank you if you read. It was good to vent about it.

Our dog keeps biting and licking himself right above his nub (tail gone) and somewhere on his leg, my brother tried to shave the areas where he is scratching himself to see if we can see any scab or anything but we can’t see anything; i’d say we gave him a bath two times a week with Adams Flea and Tick shampoo. Is there anything we can try at home before scheduling a vet appointment?
Or if there is another Reddit page that would be better to Poston, please let me know Thanks
