For RPG veterans, the mere mention of “Baldur’s Gate” conjures nostalgic memories of sprawling narratives, tactical combat, and companions who felt like living, breathing characters. Baldur’s Gate 3, the latest entry in this iconic series, doesn’t just live up to that legacy; it shatters expectations and redefines what an RPG can be in the year 2023.
Met my girlfriend in college, we’ve been together about a year. We both graduated in the spring and just last week started moving into a new apartment together. When I was helping her pack her apartment, I found a box with some sex toys in it. I knew that she had a vibrator and a dildo, but we never used them in bed so I hadn’t seen them.
It was very clear that this dildo wasn’t store bought, it was made from one of those cock mold kits. I pressed her about it a bit and she admitted that her ex had made it for her. At first she tried to play it off like she doesn’t use it, but eventually admitted that she uses it a few times a month.
She doesn’t want to throw it away because she says she likes the material more than other ones she’s tried. If it were just a regular dildo I wouldn’t care. To me, it’s not just a piece of rubber. They were together for two years in college, she was very in love with him, and he broke up with her. I know emotionally she’s totally over him but it feels like she still wants him sexually.
She says I’m being possessive and to stop being jealous of a piece of rubber. I feel like she’s basically been imagining having sex with him several times a month since we’ve been together. Am I just being irrational here or would other men have a problem with this too?
We all know the “Yes Man,” the friend who agrees to anything, the coworker who never says no, the partner who bends over backwards to keep everyone happy. But beneath the veneer of helpfulness and agreeableness lurks a hidden monster: the perils of being a people-pleaser.
He becomes more withdrawn from friends and family
He actively avoids talking about himself and changes the subject if people try to ask. Other than a generic “doing ok” or equivalent, he will conspicuously avoid talking about any of his personal life (unless you can get him onto a topic like a hobby that he’s really into. But general personal life / relationship stuff? That’s often a no-go).
Family. The very word conjures up images of unconditional love, support, and shared histories. It’s also, sometimes, the trickiest terrain for navigating finances. One area notoriously fraught with tension? Loans.
The sentiment “Never loan money to family. Gift it but don’t loan it” may sound harsh, but hear me out. It’s not about denying help or severing ties. It’s about protecting yourself, preserving relationships, and approaching support with clear-eyed wisdom.
Here’s why gifting might be the more sustainable solution:

In the whirlwind of daily life, it’s easy to feel lost in the tide. Challenges arise, setbacks occur, and doubts creep in, whispering insidious messages of powerlessness. We may find ourselves questioning our abilities, believing that the world is against us, and that we are merely passengers on a predetermined journey. But amidst this seemingly insurmountable darkness, a powerful truth emerges: You are not powerless.
My brother (14m) jacked off to my anime figure in my room and my dad caught him while i was at the movie theaters
So about a week ago my friend bought me a new figure (bicute bunny super sonico).Everyone in my family made fun of me for owning something like that but i didnt really care i thought she was cute.
Also i think it’s important to note my brother has been grounded for months with no access to any electronics.
Yesterday I went on a date yesterday with my bf (17m) to watch the new Studio Ghbili movie.When i came back my dad told me he had something to talk to me about i got worried because he looked kinda scared.
He then proceeded to tell me i had to get rid of my bunny figure because he walked in on my brother doing weird stuff with her in my room while i was gone.
