Does anyone follow @thenabilaismail?

I have been following her on and off for years and I have enjoyed her travel content but now all she does is post dating videos. She always talks about how she is 31, single, quit her 9-5, travels the world, is defying stereotypes and how she is soooooooo happy being single. It’s all she posts about now. I miss the travel content. I saw a recent video documenting a place she travelled to and I liked it but that was after a hundred videos of her being single.

She complains her brand isn’t a dating platform, but then dating videos get her tons of views and followers so that’s why she keeps posting them? I’m a new content creator myself and I would just keep posting what I like not what others want to see if it’s not in my niche.

SydTowle’s Oncologist stopped treating her

I’m so sad I just saw her most recent tiktok of her doctor saying he wants to stop treating her and put her on end of life care. I have been following her for a while and she said that she still has cells growing at NIH so why stop treatment now? And that she’s going to transfer to a different hospital and find someone who will treat her

I mean the clinical trial she is on requires her to go through intense chemotherapy that will “wipe” her immune system before the cells are reintroduced back into her body. She has gotten sicker so is that why her doctor won’t continue treatment even though she is still undergoing the clinical trial? I mean if she can’t handle the chemo given at the hospital how will she survive the chemo given during the trial?

I just got my interlock removed and someone rear ended me

I just got it removed 2 days ago. I was so happy. I wasn’t under the influence of anything when I was driving obviously after getting a DUI. Never going through that again. And someone fucking rear ends me and now I have to go through insurance. I hope my rate doesn’t go up. It’s just one thing after another. I’m never gonna catch a break.

I’m more cognizant when I drive and more mindful and careful and this shit happens to me. I was at a red light came to a full stop to make a right turn looked to the left and there were cars coming so I waited and BAM someone hit me. Hard. I was surprised the damage wasn’t that bad. But my car is a rs3

How was your IID removal appointment?

I got my interlock removed yesterday. I came in drove into the garage and he took out my interlock in 30 min. Then I signed some paperwork. Then I gave him a $20 tip for the hard work. Afterwards he just said congratulations and don’t let this happen again.

I mean I was feeling so sentimental during the whole yearlong journey. We even made more conversation during my monthly appointments than the removal. I don’t know why I was expecting more from him. It was just a “don’t do this again” reminding me of why I was there in the first place. I know this is really nothing to celebrate but idk…it just felt so procedural

I’m happy my interlock is out and there is no more beeping noise when I turn off my car. I took some selfies for the mems

It’s been a week since my last calibration

And I still have my interlock. My CM submitted the removal request May 7. My last appointment was May 5. It’s been a week. I emailed her yesterday to follow up and no response. I called this morning and no one answered.

I don’t want to drive my car anymore with that thing in it now that my 12 months are up. I don’t have any violations. This sucks.

I dreamt I went to jail

I was in jail with my brother. And the police bargained something with me if I gave them permission to shoot me. I didn’t and I kept stalling. Then my dad came to see us. And we celebrated my brother’s birthday in jail. Then I ran away to New Zealand and hoped they wouldnt find me

This dream was so vivid I didn’t know what to do with myself when I woke up. I don’t understand why I dream these things. I never went to jail and no one in my family did. I really don’t understand why it’s so vivid and what it’s supposed to mean. Frankly these dreams are exhausting when they do occur. I literally felt like I was there it’s crazy

What makes you interested in one streamer over the other?

I’m a woman in my early 30s and I stream on Twitch. For almost 2 years, there’s been one guy who shows up to basically every stream, even when I disappear for a while and come back inconsistently. Other viewers come and go, but he’s always there.

What confuses me is that my content isn’t flirty or provocative at all. I mostly just draw, sometimes game or hike, and I’m very lowkey on stream. No “streamer persona,” no thirst trap vibe, just chill/cozy streams where I talk normally while drawing.

Meanwhile, a lot of the women he follows do post more seductive/content-creator type content, so I don’t really understand what keeps him interested in my streams specifically. He rarely talks about himself, but he consistently watches/listens.

I guess I’m wondering: do some men just genuinely enjoy calm, mellow, non-performative streams and hearing someone talk while they work/draw? Because sometimes the dynamic feels weirdly parasocial since it’s basically been just us two for so long. He also follows my Instagram art account and my YouTube account where I do unboxings.

Cops are literally becoming my friends at this point

I’m so fucking annoyed at the cop that gave me a warning for parking in the wrong spot. Like it was for trailers only but there was no sign and there were other cars parked there. He said they have to repaint the sign 🪧 that’s why they’re just giving out warnings. I saw it and I took it and continued my walk then I came back and he had his lights on and said I put a notice on here earlier

Then he went over everything he could have given me a ticket for. Not having a front license plate. My windows being tinted. He said he promise he won’t give me a ticket but he wanted to show me how much my windows were tinted. So he asked if he could and I stupidly said yes. Then he said I had to turn my windows down and I pressed the ignition and thought crap my breathalyzer is going to go off. Which it did and made a loud beeping noise. I hoped he didn’t hear it and he didn’t thank god. He just took the device off the window on the inside of my car then the window outside and I immediately closed the door but didn’t try to look suspicious. Then he couldn’t hear the beep once the door was closed. If he knew about my device he would have treated me worse knowing I had a dui and probably would have given me a ticket

He also said my month decal is covered on my license plate. I didn’t know I covered the month I just covered the old stickers with the new ones not knowing what I was covering. This I’ll fix but I’m not drilling my front grill for the license plate or taking off my window tint

I have a BS in chemistry I got 9 years ago. I work in IT as a data engineer but I hate it. I was considering going back to school even though I’m 32, to do something business related. I mean I want to work with different brands and travel and do the business side of things. This time I want to be educated instead of going into work and learning on the job and not having a degree to back me up. Not having a technical degree made me insecure even though I have worked for 6 years as a data engineer

I know I’ll probably finish school by the time I’m 40 but idc. I just want to do something I’m interested in that makes a real life impact but not a technical job or anything on a granular level. I thought getting a PhD in business or something would be kind of easier, maybe a lot of reading and analysis and research but not on the data or technical side? I think I would learn a lot in a masters and phd program (if I can get through a masters) and I’m kind of doing this for personal fulfillment. I am trying to make it as a content creator on social media but it’s hard to grow and I don’t even want to do social media full time I’d feel brain dead and be bored from the lack of stimulation even though it’s kind of fun to create content.

I had my last appointment May 5. I emailed my case manager and she emailed me back today that she submitted the removal request and that it would take a few days to process. This was 2 days after my last appointment. If I hear from her mid next week to get the interlock removed by Wednesday for example, I have to make an appointment to get this removed literally the next day if the interlock facility is even available. They’re closed Fri-Sun.

I will literally have this on for 2 more weeks at least because of how long it takes and the interlock service center availability. If my manager submitted the review, who’s the one actually reviewing it??

I finished my final calibration this morning and as soon as I got home I emailed ASAP. I said my final calibration was complete and request next steps for removal authorization. I emailed my case manager and I got an automated reply saying he didn’t work there anymore and to contact this other person instead. I emailed her and I said the same thing, except I forgot to add a subject so now I think she’ll ignore it. I called her and it went to voicemail.

How long is this going to take? My last case manager said 2 weeks after my last appointment date. The breathalyzer technician said they should review everything in a couple days. I don’t know what to do I’m sitting here waiting and haven’t heard anything. I know it’s only been like 40 min but still. Ugh I can’t focus on anything else right now

I live at home with my parents and my two older brothers. I’m 32, and they’re 33 and 35. None of us are married. In my culture, people usually move out after marriage, or for work or school, but none of us ever have, we all work from home and have just stayed.

Our household runs on very strict routines. My brothers follow almost identical schedules every day, waking up, eating, working, even using the bathroom at the same times. Because of that, I constantly run into them at oddly precise moments, even when my own schedule is more flexible. It sometimes feels too perfectly timed to be random. I drove into the neighborhood at the exact moment my brother was running down the sidewalk, and we both turned onto our street at the same time. I randomly woke up at 7:30 a.m. on a Sunday to use the downstairs bathroom, and at that exact moment my dad walked in and went into the kitchen right next to it. I know this seems like a coincidence but it’s not. My mom used to say the same thing a long time ago when I was a teenager. How my dad comes home at EXACTLY the same time that I do or when my brother did. She mentioned it several times 10-15 years ago but I always dismissed it as a coincidence until now.

I’ve also noticed similar patterns with my dad. There have been many instances where we cross paths at exact moments, even on random days. It often feels like whenever I’m in a good mood or focused, he somehow interrupts or becomes more active around me.

This dynamic showed up in my last relationship too. I dated someone who reminded me a lot of my dad—very rigid in his thinking, rarely taking accountability, and always needing to be “right.” He didn’t have much of a social life and seemed to center everything around me. I found myself pushing him to be more ambitious, especially financially, similar to how my mom has pushed my dad. It made me feel like I was repeating my parents’ dynamic.

He would often wait around for me instead of building his own life, and arguments with him were frustrating because he would generalize everything to avoid being wrong. Over time, I realized I was unhappy in that pattern. My dad is like that too. He always centers everything around me and avoids accountability for anything and “playfully” blames everything on me, just like the guy I was dating.

What confuses me is that this isn’t an isolated experience, many of the men who’ve been interested in me seem to have similar issues. It’s made me question whether I’m part of the pattern. At the same time, I’ve seen examples, like his younger brother, of the kind of person I actually want, which makes it feel like what I’m looking for is close, but somehow out of reach.

Overall, I feel stuck—living at home, surrounded by repetitive patterns, and unsure how to break out of them in my personal life.

I have my last appointment coming up on May 5, and after that I tell my case manager then he said it’ll take up to 2 weeks to go over everything. But like the time I’m using the interlock after my last appointment, does that count if I missed a test or get a violation? I know I won’t but I’m just wondering. Do they download logs again on the day of uninstallation if it’s after the last day?

My progressive car insurance was $790 for the first 6 months with the basic package. I have a DWI plus 2 moving violations that’s why it was expensive. Now they increased it to $895. I called them asking to renew my rate at my old one if possible and he said he can get a new quote and if it’s better, I can use that one and if it’s more expensive then I can go back to the old one of $895.

We were going over the quote and he added my family members on my profile because they live at home with me but they don’t drive my car so they’re not listed as drivers but they’re cars are at the same address and mine so he increased the price from $895 to $925. He said I have to show proof of their insurance which is separate from mine otherwise I’ll have to add them as drivers per the law in the state of Virginia.

Now I can’t go back to my new rate or $895. If I take off my family members from my profile then can I go back? Can I call them and just do that? It’s honestly pretty fcked up that he increased it like that. Obviously I know my insurance is expensive because of my DWI but that’s not why it went but $30. He said it went up from $790 to $835 because people are driving without insurance so that’s why it went up. The new quote was $1200 so I’m not using that one.

I don’t know why this hit me so hard today. I woke up feeling so under accomplished in my life. I’m a 32 year old woman, unmarrried, live at home (but it’s normal in my culture), I have a BS in chemistry I never used and I work as a data engineer in IT. I wish I became a doctor. Or got a masters degree at least. Or a PhD? I was with my old friend group and they are more accomplished than me. One is finishing her PhD in economics, the other is a Nurse practitioner, 2 have MBA’s and there are 2 that have bachelors degrees but nothing beyond that.

I don’t know why one of them was saying “I’ll finish my PhD by 30 which isn’t bad” but I was sitting right there as a 31 year old with nothing but a BS degree like they were taking a stab at me. I’m probably just being paranoid but still.

I couldn’t even become a doctor. The classes were too hard, my grades were shit, I took the MCAT after failing a bunch of practice tests I don’t know why. I waived my score.

I mean I could have at least gotten a PhD in something or a masters? I literally did nothing but start working right away to earn money. I have a decent amount saved up but it’s nothing nowadays because everything is so expensive.

I notice a lot of women get high achieving degrees then they work in their field for a few years and quit their job then do something they’re passionate about or more interested in. I could have at least done a high achieving degree then quit so I have that under my belt that I accomplished something. I know people here would disagree with me for saying that but those women have more confidence in their lives because they accomplished something successful. I feel like everyone says school doesn’t matter and your degree doesn’t define you but then they all end up doing it and I’m left behind.

I don’t even want to go back to school and when I was studying pre med and pre pharmacy I hated it I don’t know why I did it or what I was doing. But I could have at least finished it by now so I would accomplish something successful. I don’t even like my job as a data engineer so what was the point of not becoming a doctor or something I hated if I don’t like where I’m at now which is worse than I would have been if I just did the thing I hated?

Now I’m trying to do social media and it’s a complete flop. I literally have accomplished nothing but experiences and have nothing to show for it.
