  • Sounds like this dude, consciously or subconsciously, can’t get over the fact that he sees OP as “his”, and he doesn’t like the idea of sharing her with people from the past. Depending on how old you are, 5 isn’t even that much for a body count, so i agree, him freaking out over that is a red flag. 18 is definitely more, but again, thats all dependent on how much you tie emotions to sex. Some people need a long emotional connection before they have sex, some don’t, and there’s nothing wrong with either. But being upset with how someone choose to use their body before they were dating you is childish and possessive IMHO.

    If you like the guy, then you like him, but it sounds like a long distance relationship with someone too insecure and controlling to be in a mature long distance relationship. Lying is bad, crossing boundaries you two have set is bad, don’t do those things. But taking people’s money for talking on the internet causes no harm. Getting dick pics sucks, and I’m sorry you had to go through that, but if your BF blames you for that, he’s an idiot. Unless you said “please show me a picture of your penis”, nothing you did caused dudes to take pictures of their junk and send them unsolicited to strangers on the internet.




  • The extremely attractive and benevolent socialite with seemingly limitless wealth from mysterious sources that they are going on fetch quests for (which is about 60% of thr campaign) is actually a shapechanged amethyst dragon who is plotting an ascension ritual and is the big bad foe the campaign.

    Also the seemingly benevolent order of monks are in actuality a cult for a far realm eldritch entity (a fact that only the highest ranking 5 members actually know), and the tattoo of a third eye all the acolytes get will actually anchor that entity to the world so it can come through and try to take over… but that’s next campaign.







  • Also, if you’re looking for motivation, I totally get that. I normally don’t do personal projects, because it feels like work, and I like to keep that separate from free time. But I found it’s easier to find motivation when it’s something you enjoy. The project I’ve worked most on is a magic item shop generator for the D&D games I run since I always found coming up with prices and random items to be difficult. I haven’t turned it into a full web app yet, it’s just a script to print out a table with the PrettyTables python library, but I worked on that in the airport on my last vacation because I was enjoying it!



  • Sorry I can’t actually answer your question, but in my experience, it’s hard to learn actual programming in a classroom type setting. I got a 4 year degree from a state school in computer science, and I’ve been working as a software engineer since may of 2020 (and a student contractor for 2 years before that), and I think 90% of my experience was obtained on the job.

    That being said, I do think finding a tutorial online for the type of project you want to learn is a great starting point, provided you have the basic knowledge of programming concepts. If you don’t, I think w3schools is a great place to grab those. Private tutors or online classrooms are going to be expensive and the quality might not be guaranteed.

    What I think you really need / want is guided, hands-on learning. Most languages and frameworks are free to download and use, and there’s lots and lots of tutorials out there. A great basic one for full stack engineering is a making a To-Do List (django python back end, and either react or angular front end is a decently easy framework). It’ll teach you basic front-end, back-end, and database concepts, and then you can play around with it whoever you want. I’d recommend uploading it to your personal github repo eith a README file talking about how to run it locally, so you can send it to possible employers. That’s a big thing that a lot of companies ask for in the interview process.



  • $0 apparently. I used to love Kanye. I could mostly excuse his bullshit because he was just clowning on the black community, and as a member, I could ignore it. But when he went “defcon” on the Jewish community, I kinda had to take a step back. Not necessarily because of what he was saying, but seeing him on Alex Jones in that mask with the net and the yoohoo, I realized how actually insane he was. I haven’t actively listened to him in like 2 years, which sucks because say what you want about his mental state, the dude could make some good music.
