intuition leading me to the same place ive been before... found something weird on his phone. no energy to ask because hes lied to me before but this is different. when i told him i wouldnt be with someone who watches porn he was so agreeable and understanding, said he watches it sometimes but its vanilla and he has no problem stopping.. i had sex with him all the time, i felt so safe. wondering if he ever stopped (about 1.5 years in) hes been my best friend since high school :/ idk what to feel at this point.

2025.01.22 00:44 BagEasy2678 New Horizon 7.0AT won't start
I just took delivery of a Horizon treadmill purchased from Dick's and had the delivery guys set it up in the basement. It turns on and the setup stuff works, but pressing Start does nothing. The belt doesn't seem to be even trying to come on. No noise. No movement. On the other hand, pressing the fan button immediately flips the circuit breaker. The delivery guys basically said, "well, we put it together right. You'll have to call customer support" and left.
I did some research, which apparently I should have done before buying. I researched treadmill models, partly on this subreddit (thank you), but didn't know I should have been researching electrical issues too. Anyway, all the basement outlets are on a GFCI circuit, which I see now is bad for a treadmill. But is that the issue here? I'm skeptical because what I'm reading sounds like treadmills typically trip a GFCI after they've been running for a bit due to the static electricity buildup. As I said, the belt on mine won't start at all.
I also read that it should be on a dedicated circuit. That would have been nice to know ahead of time, too. But there's not much on this circuit. Lights. I turned those off just to see if that made any difference. Not surprisingly, it didn't. There's also a radon removal system. Googled it and that uses maybe one amp, maybe even less.
I'll call customer support, but I suspect they're going to tell me "don't use a GFCI". Well, I can't very well get a 250+ lb treadmill out of the basement to try a non-GFCI to see if that helps. And apparently extension cords are also a no-no. I could pay an electrician (expensive) to put in a dedicated circuit that may or may not solve the problem. And I'm getting conflicting information when I googled whether it's even up to code to put a non-GFCI circuit in a basement (the room is finished, not all of the basement is) to feed this beast. Or... what? I'm not sure what else to do here. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
I've learned one thing that I'll be sure to share with anyone else thinking of buying a treadmill. No one should ever buy one without researching electrical requirements ahead of time and ensuring that the place they plan to put it has a dedicated, non-GFCI circuit. Good luck with basements. Wish I knew that before.

2025.01.22 00:44 walkandtalkk Things to know about executive orders
They have been a lot of posts here about Trump's executive orders. If this is your first time watching an inauguration -- or, more to the point, your first Trump inauguration -- you might be wondering what these executive orders (EOs) really mean.
As someone who works in an industry that's sometimes affected by them, here are some quick takes.
1. These are not laws
An executive order is not a law. It is the presidential administration's equivalent of a company policy: The president is telling the executive branch -- his appointees and the civil servants who do the actual work work for them -- what policies to implement. An executive order cannot overrule a law or, certainly, the Constitution.
2. If they're not laws, do they matter legally?
Often, yes. That's because Congress often gives the executive branch wide latitude to implement laws by issuing specific regulations. Congress does that because the executive-branch agencies (the departments, bureaus, Federal ____________ Administration, etc.) are supposed to be the subject-matter experts, and Congress is not. But that means the president, through an executive order, can strongly influence what regulations the agencies do, or don't, issue. And because Congress has deferred more and more to the executive branch over the years, the president has accumulated more potential to influence major regulations, from environmental regulations to how the government spends hundreds of billions in grant funds.
3. So can Trump change birthright citizenship?
No. That EO is frivolous, and the people being played are Trump's base. As you may have seen, Trump "ordered" an end to birthright citizenship. Problem is, the Supreme Court has held since 1868 that the Constitution guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the U.S., and there's little chance that even this Supreme Court reverses that. Trump, or at least his staff, knows this.
So why issue the EO? It's a PR stunt to show his base he means business. The courts will block it.
4. Are any other executive orders unenforceable?
Probably. Reportedly, many of the EOs are so vague that it's not obvious what, exactly, the agencies are supposed to do with them.
That's partly because a lot of these EOs are just political signalling devices. Trump wants to show his base, "Damn! Wow! He did it! Day 1, baby!" He (or at least his staff) knows that many of these EOs are unenforceable or will be blocked by the courts, but they want to give some political red meat to the base. Plus, it reduces pressure on Trump to do actual things or legislate; he can say, "Look how much stuff I already signed."
So a lot of this stuff is political theater. But not all of it.
5. I'm hearing that some of the EOs are badly written. Is that true?
I have not read most of the EOs, but from what I've seen and heard, many of the EOs are sloppy. Here's a major example: Trump's "Unleashing American Energy" EO says federal agencies must pause "disbursement" of funds under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which President Biden championed in 2021. The goal was reportedly to stop the "Green New Deal" in its tracks. (The "Green New Deal" was a policy proposal that never got implemented, but Trump pretends it did.) The problem is that, because of how the EO was written, it is arguable that the government can make almost no payments for transportation or infrastructure projects at all until further notice.
What does that mean? First, the Federal Highway Administration has shut down its payment portal. That means states cannot get federal highway funds. This is the opposite of Trump's goal, which is to increase highway funding and cut "green" spending. Second, most payments are for work that the recipients have already completed under federal contracts, meaning they can probably sue if they don't get the money they're owned.
Did Trump's staff intend that outcome when they wrote the EO? Almost certainly not. They just did sloppy work. I'm referring to his legal team as the intorneys.
6. If one of Trump's EOs is unenforceable, does it still matter?
Potentially, yes. Not legally, but culturally. For instance, Trump signed an EO that directs the federal government to de-recognize transgenderism and nonbinaryism. Will that force transgender people to detransition? No. But it could set a tone in the United States where it is more socially acceptable to tell trans people that they're full of it. Recall that President Biden ordered his administration, and its contractors, to emphasize diversity and inclusion. For well over a year, the private sector went along, and much of it still does, in part to placate the administration. Now that Trump has made clear trans = bad, expect much of the private sector (especially Big Tech, which is desperate to placate him) to go along with it. Expect fewer cities and companies to support Pride, and more focus on "traditional" gender identy.
That sort of corporate and governmental focus often trickles down to society generally. So we could see a more conservative mentality toward LGBT issues overall.
But that can backfire. If the president becomes unpopular, his social/cultural agenda often becomes unpopular, too. George W. Bush's anti-gay, anti-abortion agenda lost steam around 2006 as his approval rating plummeted. People associated his evangelical social agenda with Bush personally, and Bush's unpopularity dragged it down. Similarly, Biden's affiliation with DEI and quote-unquote "woke" gender issues probably made those LGBT and minority agendas seem tired, stale, and "cringe."
If Trump becomes unpopular -- and I think he will within 12-18 months -- his Boys Rule, Bitches Drool ethos could become as sad and unpopular as the word "Latinx" is today.
7. Is anything surprising about these EOs?
Yes: They're surprisingly badly written. I expected Trump's team to be preparing these on November 6, if not sooner. And for years, we have heard how the Heritage Foundation and other parts of the administration-in-waiting were prepping a massive, right-wing onslaught the moment Trump took office. There is an onslaught, but is seems... amateur? The fact that Trump's anti-Green New Deal EO actually stopped highway payments makes me suspect that, in fact, his White House may be almost (not quite) as incompetent as last time.
And that's bad news for Trump, because he only has a 1-3-vote margin in the House, and a Supreme Court that is more traditionally conservative (rather than MAGA) than he would like. As much as Trump hates it, he needs his policies to survive legal challenge and be at least moderately popular. Instead, it seems like the B team is running the show, at least for now.
His legal team will get better. Once his people are confirmed at the Justice Department, expect them to go after Democratic states and a few of Trump's "enemies." But, from these initial moves, it's not clear he has much of a plan.

2025.01.22 00:44 Important-Forever708 When is it to soon to go on a date after a brake up?
My boyfriend (50m) and me (45f) have been dating on and off for years. Our relationship was toxic from the beginning. About a month ago I found drugs in his coat pocket (meth) to be exact so I did what anyone would do in this situation I kicked him out. We'll we have been texting and calling each other to see if we can work it out and he told me this morning that him smoking is what kept us together because he didn't love me. I swear I laughed so had I almost peed my pants. He always tries to drag me down but to be honest. We were done the day he left but made it official this morning. I don't care it's over since in my head it was over a long time ago. I feel like just testing the waters with someone else now? Is it to soon? What do you think? I'm not broke or damaged I saw the red flags for years but chose to stay. I had my reasons. I wouldn't avoid red flags for anyone else I do actually know my worth so don't come for me 😂

2025.01.22 00:44 aalcoholic1 Just got my Nuss Bar Removal date! - March 28th
A suture came loose this past December in the stabilizer on my left side and has been causing pain when I bend, reach or lift in certain directions. Met with my surgeon today and got my date set! Very excited!
I initially got the bar in when I was 25-26 and I recently turned 30, so I’ve had it in just over 4 years and it’s just time for me to get it removed.
Throughout all the pain and concern with the initial surgery, and the lengthy recovery, I look back and I’m glad I did this. I consider myself lucky to have done it and to have had no complications until now.

So basically the guy sitting next to me keeps barging into my desk when im absent, And touches my Nailfiles, Nail glue, Brush, lip oil and pads for some reason And other valuables that are in my desk, And the problem is that everything he touches with his grubby hands are really expensive, And I sometimes use my freetime working just to buy the stuff that he ends up dirtying/breaking, He's also really unsanitary and wipes his earwax on my stuff, so i'm now just scared to use my belongings, but recently i've just cleared out all the valuables from my desk, yet he still puts his used toothpicks, earwax, and this flaky brown glue inside my desk and I just don't know what to do anymore, I've told my friends and teacher but they've literally done nothing about the situation, And now i've realised that I just have to tolerate it, but don't know how, I just need help with tolerating him just touching my stuff,

My elderly mother-in-law is staying with us after evacuating from the fire. It’s hard to get her to eat much because she says she’s not hungry. If I put food in front of her she usually eats something, but it’s looking like only 400-800 calories a day.
I’ve been sneaking collagen in her decaf coffee, but what else can I do to gently coax her appetite along? I’m not going to be able to do much, but if you know of some tips and tricks, I’m all ears. Thanks!
