Going to a concert there (I think it’s Esdeekid ) and bought my GA ticket already. Is the lounge access at filmore worth it? What does it include? Would the artist be there or something? Not sure how VIP packages work or how they are offered. Also not trying to get scammed to pay extra 50. Thanks!

How do I know if my friend has a crush on me or if she just hates me?

I’m 25F, straight, and not interested in women. I’m concerned my 25F friend might be, but I don’t want to assume. We’re both Middle Eastern, and it’s culturally unacceptable, so I’m surprised my gut is telling me this, especially since she’s said her family wouldn’t support it.

I don’t care if someone is bi, gay, etc. I’ve just had two past female friends who I sensed were lesbian or bi develop feelings for me. They seemed hateful when I was with my mans, talked about a guy, or didn’t show them affection. It’s awkward bc I can’t be friends with a girl who acts in love with me.
I’m confused bc she’s been my friend for 1.5 years. I invite her to all my events with friends and family, but she doesn’t invite me anywhere, so I don’t know how she is with her friends. She’s invited me twice, just us two, while I’ve had around 15 events, almost every weekend. She has a bf but barely mentions or invites him. I found out they’d been dating a year, but she never called him her bf until 5 months ago. When she said “my bf,” I asked, omg girl who???? She said they’d been dating for a year. I was confused bc at bars/clubs she entertained every guy, accepted drinks, and blamed them for not stopping talking. That’s hypocritical after saying, “I hate when girls go to bars and clubs looking for guys.” You’re 24F with a full-time job and bf; you can speak up, especially with a group of girls.

She also says weird things like “this was the first time I didn’t get hit on at the club” or if everyone got hit on and I didn’t (which my friends and myself do not care) she will say awww no they did I saw I saw…I’m like I do not care. I’m not insecure but she seems like she cares a lot..for having a bf too. She also randomly tells me that someone at work likes her and she’s been working w him for a year and I asked if he knows she has a man. She said no. I was already done with this behavior ATP. I just told her nicely like if you don’t say anything what do you expect? And she gave a bunch of excuses and I was just like this is embarrassing. I don’t want to be associated with someone who disrespects their own mans, I’m sure she’s disrespect her own friends just like she does things that I say I do not like. Plus gossips all the time and I deviate the conversation to talk about other things… she tried to make it sound relatable that “we go through these things at work with men” and I told her that I don’t relate because if a guy is trying to do something or hit on me, I drop a little- yeah my bf is actually loves to xyz. She clearly never does this ever so the fact that she thinks I’m an idiot to not realize this is hilarious.

Other things: she always pitys me or brings up bad things about me to say sorry. She gives backhanded compliments like “I could never do that.” Like getting my masters or she’ll always bring up my achievements but give me the dirtiest look…like seething or jealousy when I don’t talk about it. Like bringing up something I’m working on that I’m proud of, she just hates on it, doesn’t support or get excited. All my other friends are like I can’t wait to try your stuff! I can’t wait to see it all! I want to be part of it! She just asks and she keeps doing this weird “OMG I HAVE TO KNOCK ON WOOD TO NOT JINX IT” like wtf…I got creeped tf out.

She also NEVER comments or likes my posts. She stoped liking 3 months ago. And it’s funny bc I invite her every weekend, my friends talk about the post, they comment, and she just watches and says “I saw it!” But never likes it.. lol.

She seems timid, but she analyzes, vents, complains, gossips, then does the same things ppl do to her. She constantly says my body is hot, my butt looks good, etc. I hinted three times that I hate ppl commenting on my body, yet she still does it. Idk if she’s secretly hating.

She also reacts like a character. I told her my date assaulted me, grabbed me and choked me, and she only said “awh omg.” I was like tf… I’m not opening up to someone who gives me a shit reaction. My other friends let me cry because it was terrifying.

When I brought up her reaction, she said, “well I have ppl who cry to me.” That wasn’t the point… Idk if it’s pity, but I don’t need to cry to you. If you’re a friend, don’t react like an NPC.
I brought up the one-sidedness and said I care about her, but she should be herself because I don’t know her as a person at this point of friendship. She plays nice nice nice, always agrees, people pleases, and this is to every person in the events where I have my friends but then she’s very almost extremely awkward. Doesn’t talk, and I’m sitting with her and talking, she doesn’t know what to say but just laugh and agree with everything (my friend group is hilarious we actually make fun of each other all girls and we disagree all the time). She’s hang out with us over 10 times bc I invited her. I also asked if she like opens up or likes to go out even, maybe it’s my fault for asking her to join us. She said she does like to go out. But when I say bring your mans, it’s sooo many excuses for why not..

She just said this last month was bad for her. I said, “girl, I’ve noticed this for 6 months…I just haven’t said anything.” She has a facade and is very insecure about her body, image and face. I always support, comfort and empathize with her, so I wonder why she makes random comments about my body, head to toe. It’s weird and obsessive, like even in a loud club while we’re dancing.

My hunch she may be bi is because she hid having a guy, talked to many guys, is insecure and likes attention in those places. She also thinks her mans is chopped and says things like “he only got hit on once.” She didn’t call him her mans bc he said he wanted to lose weight and be better for her. Idek what that means; she said it after I asked, “you guys are basically dating?” She also said she was part of an LGBTQ group in hs, according to another friend. Weirdly, if she hits my leg, she makes a huge deal. I’m like girl, it’s fine, and she says, “I’m not gay!” Bruh. My girls and I link arms, so idk why she makes it weird.

Also, when my previous man didn’t get me birthday flowers, she gave me flowers and said, “since he couldn’t get them for you, I’ll be the one to get them.” I said thank you, but instantly noticed bc another girl did this to me TWO YEARS BEFORE ON MY BDAY.

TLDR: bad/weird friend or bi?

Hi there! Very new to this. Apologies if my question doesn’t make sense. But here’s my scenario. :

Just curious since I currently am in a product manager role at a cloud company and I do take care of pre sales, demo, onboarding, pretty much from sales to technical support for the customer. Small company wearing multiple hats.

It’s for our company’s AWS product that we sell on AWS marketplace so it’s a cloud application that you can launch from your desktop.

I’m wondering how in our company, how we could get involved in high ticket sales? My questions may be REALLY dumb - bear with me. I’m just trying to find the small gap where let’s say I was selling the product to someone, and if that makes me the high ticket sales closer, then where can we find a setter? Or maybe that’s not the right question. But how could I get paid to do that closing more successfully?

I’m hoping the answer is not: well you’re a sales person as so it seems at this company so they should be paying you for every closing. However, this is NOT the case because we do not have warm leads nor do we have a setter. I’m the one that does a cold out reach and tries to make the call. We’ve done cold compaign, lead gen, etc. none of it works lol.

Ultimately I’m trying to sell our product faster with a higher closing rate in the cloud industry. Trying this route out. Thank you!

Met a guy who’s rising Virgo, leo sun, and Aries moon.

Can yall make any deductions? So confused by his character..

I want to know your thoughts on the raw papaya eating it to induce your period. I want to try it. I have asked many of my doctor friends that have tried it and know others who have and that it works. They have either eaten it to ensure their period comes if they maybe were worried they were pregnant but also for irregular periods.

The only thing I question is timing.

Eating a raw papaya will help induce the period and also create uterine contractions and produce natural latex, which yes, is bad and painful too. I want to induce my period since it’s coming in one week. I’d like to induce it by a couple days.

Could I eat the raw papaya 7 days early to induce it? I don’t want to be stuck eating it and have cramps and contractions but no period.

Ik someone will say that they’re doctors and this is bad, I understand that part. I just genuinely do need to induce my period and want to know if anyone else has tried this and have considered the timing aspect, maybe even the pain as well?

Thanks!

Hi! So i 24F, am a rising Leo, sun aquaruius, moon Sagittarius. I was born in the US, on the east coast.

I met a man who’s 25, born in 2000. But he was born Lahore, Pakistan and he does not know his exact birthday. I think things are definitely different there and calendar wise. So his drivers license here in the US says Sept 4th 2000. We also don’t know his birth time.

I want to know what would most likely align with his traits. I don’t think he’s a Virgo but he could be. He told me it was hot, def like warm weather when he was born (obvi weather is diff from US and Pakistan). He said it could be two months after the Sept 4th date or 2 months before.

We get along well. My sister is a Virgo and that would make us quite opposite yet alike but still clash. We’re been going out for a month, talks every day. I don’t get the opposite vibes, we’re actually similar. Straight forward people. We love fashion as well, he’s a fashionable man like old money aesthetic and outfits. He loves cars as well- like Porsche and stuff. He thinks about things, he does love sarcasm too, his jokes he’s very funny, he can come off arrogant but too me I see it as straightforwardness and he’s humble, always helping others. Also he is a rage baiter some times 😂 and it’s funny because we both clock it when he’s doing it but it’s not extreme, it’s just funny. He’s also observant very good at observing. He’s manly, dominant male but very soft at heart still.

So basically, I have met male Scorpios. Mainly October cusp and November. As I’ve met them, they quite literally ARE THE SAME. So I’m sensing he’s not a scorpio since he said it was warm out and the energy is not the same. He’s a massive golden retriever. Loves to yap and still listens.

So what could he be? I’m thinking more Leo or cancer? Still could be a Virgo I wouldn’t be surprised, but I’ve never met a Leo man, only one other and we got along VERY well. I also hear a lot of ppl don’t like Leo men which is funny. I have met loads of cancer men, and they’re quite the same where they’re rlly emotional too, even extremely clingy.

TLDR: based on his traits and our connection, what could he be? OR what are the traits of a male Leo?

I guess since it’s legal advice, I just don’t want to get in trouble especially since it’s IRS related. I did post this in tax and IRS but I still need to get another lens on this…

I filed my 2025 taxes through someone who wasn’t a licensed tax preparer and they made mistakes, which resulted in a much larger refund than I should have received. Another accountant reviewed it and said it needs to be amended, so I’ll have to pay back part of the refund. Now I’m trying to pay the IRS online, but ID.me verification keeps failing (possibly due to 2024 tax info / identity issues).

TDLR: Has anyone dealt with this? What’s the best way to pay or fix the ID.me issue without online access?

Do I need to show up to the IRS? I thought I would be sent some mail or something but I’ve been dealing with this for like two months now…so there will be the penalty I have to pay as well…

Any help is truly appreciated.

I apologize for this post because I completely understand everyone’s use for berberine as a natural supplement to help with food noise, insulin, etc. but I have my own thoughts on berberine.

Berberine being that it is natural, I personally wanted to try taking it once a day or once every other day to start. My goal is to drop some weight. Again, I know some might say you’re crazy for using it like that or for the wrong reasons, or people like me have ruined the purpose of these medications etc. but I’m not someone who’s going to start injecting as it doesn’t make sense for me, so I thought id try this route.

For reference, 24F, 148lbs, body mass evenly distributed, not really like top or bottom heavy in an area (idk if relevant). I work out a lot but i can’t seem to drop like 10 pounds for the sake of me. I eat healthy, always staying active, I’m slim but I would like to drop 10 lbs. I emphasize a low carb diet at the moment to stay in my goals and I’m sort of in the middle of a cut, to drop fat.

Would it be good for me to try Berberine? Is there anyone like me with this similar case who’s trying it and seen results? What are the side effects? And how much muscle would I drop? (I’d like to ensure it’s not a lot or damages my bones or my muscle mass decreases by a lot where I can’t build it back or takes me more to build).

Thank you and I apologize again, I hope I don’t receive hate for this post.
