Is vodka the final boss of this bullshit?

I think I posted that I moved from beer to wine to whisky to vodka. Typically I can pass out in my bed or couch with no weird texts but with the switch to vodka, I just woke up on the bathroom floor with like 3 weird texts I sent. Is this the boss fight?

Filmed a short, getting it ready for festivals. It's very loosely based on a real person. That person isn't happy about it. Where do I go from here?

I'm going to guess the real answer is ask my lawyer. They said it shouldn't be an issue. I'm still concerned about how this person will react when I actually release it.

​

Context: The story is about a guy whose marriage is failing and both husband and wife try to baby trap each other into staying without the other knowing.

​

This is very loosely based on my ex and I discussing having a kid when our relationship was failing. It was a single conversation about parenthood. Nothing more, never progressed further. The most that came of it was us both joking "Let's just have a kid" after we argued.

​

I talked to my ex while we were filming and told her what I was working on. She said something like, "So basically our story?" I told her nothing in the script happened in real life. She then told me that I need to buy the rights to her life story (lol). I told her it's not her life story since it didn't happen and I already had a lawyer clear everything.

​

Do I just put it out there and deal with any backlash if it happens? Scrap it? Pay her off? It was about $5k/6 days of filming.

Is there a way to set TP/SL before entering a trade?

I mainly scalp bounces off support/resistance/vwap. The problem is that with how volatile shit is right now, these moves can be extremely fast and I can't move my TP fast enough. Is there a way to do this?

Any reason the 007 First Light repack is acting differently than any other repack I've installed?

Obviously people are playing it right now and it seems to be going okay for them? I downloaded First Light, ran it through VirusTotal. It came back with a lot of stuff I haven't seen. I haven't seen everything so that's whatever but it came back with far more flags than most repacks do.

This is my scan

The other thing that's making me hesitant about installing is that Windows gave me a huge ass red "Malicious Software" warning. I've downloaded a few dozen repacks and never seen that pop up. I've only ever seen the blue "Windows protected your PC. Run anyway?" warning.

Is there a reason this repack is behaving so differently from any other repack I've installed? And how can I be more cautious if/when I install?

Finding people who fit your vibe?

Went to my first Forest last year and had the time of my life. Tbh, I'm a massive Justice fan so I only went to see them but had a great time dancing to other artists and exploring.

Admittedly, it's not my typical scene. I usually go to smaller punk, hardcore, and indie rock shows. I have never had issues meeting and getting on with people at these shows and festivals.

While I loved almost everything about Forest...I don't want to offend anybody but the people were not my vibe, aside from 1 dude who performed at the chapel and 1 dude I met during Louis the Child. I won't go into details but the hundreds of people I interacted with ranged from "Not my vibe" to "This person is a predator. Get them away from me."

This year, my partner and I are going for Madeon - seen him a few times before (over last decade) and similar experience - die hard fan but the people at the shows weren't my vibe.

It might be worth noting that I don't do any drugs (not straight edge, don't care if you do) and was sober.

So: Is it just trial and error until I find people that fit my vibe? Tell people to leave me alone? Was last year an outlier situation? Do drugs to make the people more tolerable?

My Discord was hacked and I want to know how/how to fix this?

First things first:

-It came from pirated software. Yes, I know - dumb. That's where it came from.

-Last week, my Discord spammed a bunch of messages to people and servers which resulted in my account being suspended. I have 2FA on my account and it uses Authy on my phone to sign in. I then signed out of Discord in my browser.

-I ran MalwareBytes and HitmanPro. Removed all threats.

-Once my suspension was removed after a few days, things were okay for about 24 hours then it spammed more messages resulting in another suspension.

What I want to know is how might this have occurred when I have 2FA on my account? And aside from not downloading sketchy software, how can I prevent this from occurring again?

Is the format style on this too much?

I'm writing a feature set during a poker tournament. Roughly 80% of the story takes place in the same room within one day. To break things up, I have some of the scenes taking place directly at the table and some are more visual like what you'd see on an ESPN broadcast. This also helps with displaying numbers so a reader isn't going back and forth trying to remember how much money is involved.

This is how I currently have it formatted but I'm not sure if it's doing too much:

Is it necessary to protect my (35m) partner's (34f) ego if they don't make me cum?

This also involves partners from my past.

I went from 2016 to 2025 without a partner making me finish.

This isn't a performance issue on their end. The sex rangers from fine to amazing. I just take forever.

The problem stems from insecurities that arise if/when I tell them they didn't make me cum. In my 20s, this straight up led to break ups to major fights to not wanting to have sex.

I eventually started lying to all my partners and saying I finished in order to protect their egos and protect them physically since I would be fine going for an hour.

I think I've just gotten to the point where I'm old enough and my partners should be mature enough to accept that they're not going to make me finish without them holding it against me or crying about it.

Is it necessary to keep faking it in order to protect my partners ego?

Tips for organization while composing a track?

I constantly run into this issue. I'm working on a track and before you know it, I have 50 tracks and hundreds of samples and clips floating around.

One of the biggest issues is that I'll have a clip, decide I probably don't want to use it but worried I'll change my mind so I just throw that to the end of the current track but then the end of each track is flooded. Then I'm overwhelmed because the entire thing looks like a giant mess.

How do you all essentially "cable manage" your tracks?
