What to do when a friend is always disagreeing or dismissing your feelings when venting?

Some background info: I have this friend and we’re in a group chat with our other two friends. I vent in the group chat, very rarely tho and I’ll say “I’m just complaining” followed by what I’m complaining about. I’m not asking for my friends thoughts or opinions but I just want them to listen. But this one friend always replies back with a disagreeing opinion. To which we end up arguing and lose the main focus of what I was really complaining about in the first place. It makes me feel stupid about myself for even complaining about something or how I feel. It makes me think that in the future when I want to vent or complain to a friend I shouldn’t do it with them around so that I wouldn’t feel dismissed or stupid about myself. There are times where I think about how I don’t want to be friends with this person anymore. So how should I deal with a friend who makes me feel this way when I wanna talk about my feelings or complaints about certain topics?

Stella vs Luna character

Being new to this fandom I found out that before FF15 there was a FF Versus 13 and in it was Stella who was then changed into Luna. I also found out through this that a lot of ppl prefer Stella over Luna and I just don’t understand why bc we see less and know less about Stella compared to Luna. I think a lot of ppl like Stella over Luna bc of the potential Stella could’ve had bc in the FF versus 13 clips it seemed like she would be an antagonist to Noct but a love interest at the same time. In the clip it also seemed like Stella and Noct have the same or similar powers. I guess some ppl like that type of character over Luna’s character. But I love Luna so much and I always feel so sad when she’s on my screen. Some ppl don’t like Luna due to her lack of presence in the game and feeling more like a plot device for Noct. But her being a plot device; isn’t that what she is? She says multiple times in the game and Kingsglaive movie that it’s her duty to help the Chosen King aka Noct or smth along those lines. Also she does a lot of things behind the scenes like forging covenants with the Gods and healing ppl around the world inflicted with the Starscourge. Also, in one of the scenes in the game she has a desire to live a normal life like regular ppl, but to her she feels like she can’t bc of her duty and she’s puts that as number 1. That rlly made me feel so sad for her. In the movie she was more badass, showing her strong will and being able to stand her ground. Also, in another in game clip she mentions how she wants to stand by Noct’s side rather than just be behind him iirc. Imo I see Luna as someone who wants to have a normal life and be by the side of the person she loves but due to being the oracle and all the events that happened in Insomnia she cannot. I feel that the ppl who prefer Stella over Luna don’t understand Luna’s character enough. I fear I might get flamed for this opinion of mine 😅

FFXV Anthology Manga

So I had found out there was a manga for FFXV. I found a website that has an English translation of some of the chapters, which I’ve linked above. If anyone knows where I can read the other chapters with English translation please share them 🙇‍♀️

Pixie disc + applicator

I just got the pixie disc (Medium and Large). I haven’t used them yet because I’m not on my period. I also got the applicator. I think I have a high cervix because when I use Tampons I still have to push it up a bit more with my index finger to feel comfortable. To the people who have gotten and used the Pixie discs what was your experience? Also, did you use their applicator? If so, how much of it did you put inside and what was the experience? I’m also scared of leakage because on my heaviest day I have to wear Ultra tampons and change them every 4-5 hrs sometimes a bit earlier than that.

Hunters of Secullam Pass Lag

I died doing this quest twice which was annoying, but what was more annoying is when I would approach the Coeurls the game would start lagging like crazy. I would quit the game and then come back and it'll happen again. What was weird is that if I did other quests it wouldn't happen at all. I have a dell dc 15250 which isn't a laptop built for gaming, but the game has worked fine for me majority of the time until I start that damn quest. Does anyone have any tips on how to fix this?

Adventurer from Another World

I just finished Adventurer from Another World and I'm looking at the shop and noticed how strong the weapons are. I really want them, but the materials needed to get them are hard and I suck at fighting the boss at the low level even though my party is around level 50. Please note, that I am horrible at combat even though the combat in this game isn't hard, I just suck lolol. Are the weapons from the shop worth it? Cuz I don't want to fight the boss 8 more times. I already have 91 tomestones.

HP, MP, AP, Level up

So I started playing the game yesterday and so far I'm liking it. I'm going through old reddit posts and youtube videos about tips for the game, specifically for the AP, HP, MP stuff. One YouTube video I watched mentioned something about the Lasagna, going back to the past, killing a turtle, and some other stuff. And older reddit posts talked about just killing a bunch of beasts to build up a lot of AP and then rest up at camp or something. However, a lot of these tips are old, so I wanted to ask are there any other tips that are easier and quicker for me to do early on in the game to get a lot of AP to level up and in turn have more HP and MP during the battles? I'm in chapter 2 right now.

Fav party member to play

So i recently got the game (Windows Edition + Ardyn DLC) on steam cuz it was on sale. I haven’t played it yet, but before I do. What is everyone’s favorite party member to play in the battles and why? I heard that the combat in the game is easy, but each party member plays a bit differently so I would want to know which one is the easiest and best to play as.

Starscourge biology

I don’t really understand the Starscourge. It’s a living organism that causes illness in other living organisms, hates light, and stays away from it. That makes me think it’s a chemotroph. Also, why can’t the Gods do anything about the Starscourge? Cant Shiva just freeze over the habitat of where the Starscourge reside? If i remember correctly, in the Ardyn DLC, there was a part that mentioned the Starscourge lived in the mud or something like that. Which would make sense cuz it hates light. So why can’t Shiva just freeze those fuckers over? There’s plenty of bacteria and viruses on our own planet that are trapped in glaciers for a long ass time. Maybe I’m just thinking too deep into this because FFXV is just a fictional game that tries to use modern science and such but with magic involved.

Prompto’s character

Soo I’m a very new fan to final fantasy as a whole. And it was all because of Prompto. He is such a cinnamon roll to me! I looked through some old posts about him and I noticed in some comments mentions of other sources of media to learn more about his character. I don’t have the game so I’m just watching gameplays on YouTube. But are there any sources of media that I can read about Prompto character? I’ve already watched the Brotherhood anime.

Resume feedback

I have read the wiki. My resume is very basic imo and definitely needs some fixing if I want to get into the project management field. I do have a question. What are considered projects? To give some examples of the things I’ve done in my undergrad. As an RA I’ve hosted events for my residents and for some of them I had to email and schedule campus organizations to collaborate with them depending on the type of event I want to host. I was part of the Chinese culture club for 3 years (Freshman to Junior year). During that time I’ve helped host and manage the events my club hosted. For example, selling tickets, social media promotion, set up, clean up, etc. Do these activities count as projects? I want to get into project management but it’s hard because some associate or entry level jobs require 5+ yrs of experience in a certain field like construction, tech, or engineering. I don’t have any experience in that field. Also is Jira work orders? Many colleges use them and as an RA I’ve used them a lot, but idk if the Jira I’ve been using in my undergrad is the same Jira people use in that industry. A future thank you to anyone who answers my questions in this post and gives resume advice or any type of advice. If you have any questions about my work experience please ask I would love to answer and talk about them!

Wisdom tooth extraction pink fleshy thing

Tuesday, 05/19 I got my wisdom teeth on the left side removed. First thing I noticed that day was some white stuff on the lower left and my dissolvable stitches. I thought the white stuff was the rest of the stitches, but I noticed over the coming days that the white stuff was going away and some pink was forming. And today it looks like this. I was doing some google search and google told me its granulation tissue. But I don't know what that is or what it looks like. I'm really scared that its a pyogenic granuloma. I've attached an image of what it looks like. Can someone help me and give me their thoughts on what this could be?

Belly button piercing top hole redness

Got my belly button pierced with a floating navel on Monday, March 23rd. So it’s been about a month since I got it. No more pain or soreness when I move my body and swelling has gone done. However, the top hole of the jewelry is still red and has a very veryyyyy tiny bump under it. But it looks pretty much flat. I know belly button piercings take awhile to heal. But I wanted to know how long till the redness goes away? I clean it 1-2x a day with sterile saline solution. And I shower everyday with warm/hot water which helped with not having a big irritation bump not develop.
