2023.06.09 07:15 PicklezDom 1998 Dodge Caravan no backup lights

Got a base 1998 Dodge Caravan w/ the 2.4L and the 3-speed.
Reverse lights haven’t worked since some airbag recall work had been done many years back. All other exterior rear lights work w/o issue.
In addition to this, the gauge cluster has lately not been working. Sometimes it will work, most of the time it will not. (Likely unrelated)
Interior lights do not turn on with the door being open. However, they sometimes are able to turn on when clicking them if the ignition is off but sometimes only come on when the ignition is on.
The engine temperature light blinks twice every so often and does seem to run somewhat hot but there is no way to tell with the gauge cluster not working correctly.
OTHER:
AC doesn’t blow cold but that could’ve been something someone else did when trying to replace the HVAC controls.
AC and Recirculate lights continuously flash — fails cool down test, assuming weak compressor... Lots of hissing from the evaporator, no cool air
NOTE:
This van is typically parked for long periods of time exposed to the rain. It has a few leaks on the interior which have lead to puddling in the passenger side from floor mat in the passed. I’m assuming the water has probably linked to some of the other issues with the van.
All electrical connections I checked seemed to not be corroded especially with the BCM, but there could be something in missing.

2023.06.09 07:14 most_hated_idiot My gf 20F can't get over her grooming

So my gf lost her virginity to a 22 year old guy when she was just 15. He groomed her so much she started to have blind trust on him. He was rough on her, was abusive to her. Made degrading remarks on her. And most importantly used her as a sex object. she is super traumatized by all this. I only knew about her ex and not that they had sex. Earlier she lied to me twice before getting into relationship about sex. Afterwards when I asked third time in relationship she told truth. Whenever I think about all this, i am filled with anger and full of disgust feeling, that even after so much red flags in him, so was getting sexually exploited. She said he lied to her about future and she even took stand for him against her parents. I tried so hard but i can't get over the thoughts that they had sex and also the descriptions i asked her. Problem is i loved her, and she loves me absolutely cause i have shown immense faith and i motivated her to her over her past... If i leave her, that is like leaving a sexually exploited and legally raped girl which i think is wrong. On the other hand, accepting her, would make me think all my life of the disgusting feelings. The feeling that my love is slept with someone else gives me chill. And she carries a lot of baggage with her. She is super emotional and she might never forget her past, no matter how hard I try. She was abused very badly by him and he treated her as an object. Also she once tried to kill herself but was saved. Her parents don't know about virginity and she is also scared by all this Should I continue relationship or not. sometimes whenever we had little fight she says i am worthless and used, leave me. Then I console her. Also, i am scared even if i continue god knows what might happen, whether she would be able to move on. Please help me out.

Help with Kajidic design
I have been a long time observer from afar but have recently decided to join. I really need help with a hand drawn kajidic I've made for a friend. I'm not very fluent in huttese or it's alphabet and need help with writing the initials J C M in huttese. I'd greatly appreciate any help I can get as I'm genuinely excited to make this for him. The "rough draft" is below this so if ya'll want to give me any advice or critiques I'm all open if it means helping me make this perfect for him. (The symbols are rough drawings of what I can get from huttese for his initials)

2023.06.09 07:12 user8203421 At this point i miss school

So I (20F) have struggled with depression since i was about 12. Im able to keep on top of my schoolwork, job, etc. there’s been a few bumps in the road but i’m glad I got to this point. however, this summer has been rough for me
I have a twin sister who i love very much. she’s my best friend and we would do fun stuff and talk all the time. she moved over 3000 miles away and i talk to her as much as i can but i miss her so much. i haven’t seen her since january. she’s coming to visit in a month or so so i’m super happy about that. summer has just been rough without her
my childhood best friend is home from college. she’s amazing and i love her. i’m scared to hang out with her tho because i feel like i’m a burden and i’m always paranoid she’ll outgrow me or something. i miss the conversations we had as kids, we’re still close as can be, but growing up is hard. it’s really hard to have to move your life beyond being kids and having fun. i love the freedom and independence i have now but i miss being carefree and happy and watching movies in her living room pillow fort and giggling about funny things that happened in school
i was in a year long “relationship” if that’s what you want to call it. he led me on like extremely, he told me he loved me every single day, we were so close, had so much fun together, i thought we were soulmates. turns out he was just bored and his other friends were busy and the only reason he even talked to me in the first place was because i was “available and consistent” and “had no life”. he has a new girlfriend now and he says he’s learned his lesson and changed for the better from me. it pisses me off. i was never loved or cared for the way i did him and all i was was a life lesson. now i have to still deal with the trauma a year later while he gets his fresh start and love and a social life. it’s not fair. i’m over him, he was horrible to me, but the effects of what he did still hurt me. i wasted the first time i ever felt love on some sick dude who couldn’t be decent and none of it was real and now my whole perception of love is warped.
i’m so grateful for everything i have it’s just that summer reminds me how lonely i am. i work but that’s about it. i’m happy i get to go back to school in the fall and keep myself busy and talk to peers

2023.06.09 07:10 wheresmymountandew Opinions on car to buy

My mom is thinking of getting a new car, she currently has a 2009 accord ex-l with the i4 with about 210,000 miles on it. It’s been a good car for her up until now it’s started having problems. I’ve been looking for her mostly and pretty much my number 1 choice is the Elantra hybrid. It’s not as expensive, has better fuel economy and a great warranty compared to the others I’ve looked at. My mom drives about 50 to 60 miles a day, she has money to work with and wants to invest in something fuel efficient that she can drive till it dies. She doesn’t think electric is a good choice cause of all the stuff coming out about how expensive it is to repair and stuff but is it really that bad? Idk just looking for second opinion :)

2023.06.09 07:09 ThrowAway7s2 "A well organized Girl Scout weekend at Cuesta" from the May 29, 1973 Door County Advocate

A well organized Girl Scout weekend at Cuesta

Pop and Popcorn. Julaine Jeanquart, Patty Baudhuin, Mrs. David Marsh, Jackie LaVine, Teresa Stroh, Kelly McDougall, Barb Kelsey and Kim Pagenkopf.
By JACQUY STROH
It's secluded in a wooded area near Kangaroo Lake. The large cabin, of surprisingly modern construction, has no indoor plumbing. Lack of plumbing does not upset, or even surprise, the 12 eager girls tumbling out of station wagons with sleeping bags in tow. They are Junior Girl Scouts, Troop 350. And this is their first weekend camping experience at Cuesta.
Their leader, Mrs. David Marsh, supervises the stowing of bedrolls in open box-shaped cupboards. Next she shows everyone the "washing-up room"; basins are arranged on a shelf beneath the counter-top; towel racks are fastened to the shelf. A "water-boy" sits on one end of the counter-top. Perhaps because this is a girls' cabin, several mirrors adorn the walls.
Then everyone sits on benches at picnic tables in the middle of the main room to eat their nose­bag suppers. When appetites are satisfied, the leader instructs the girls to throw their paper bags into the fireplace. "We'll build a fire later and make popcorn."
"We want to go to the bathroom," announces Barbara.
"We know where it is," Paula adds, "right down the gravel path." Half a dozen of the girls put on their coats and go out into the gathering darkness, carrying flashlights.
Five minutes later they come running back, squealing and shoving one another to get into the cabin door.
"There's something out there!"
"Loud noises down by the outhouse!"
"Something is going bang­-bang-thud, bang-bang-thud!" Motioning for quiet their leader explains that there is nothing to be frightened of in the woods.
"I'll go back out with you, girls," Chaperone says with false bravado. "Maybe there are some rascally raccoons out there."
Shining her flashlight on the gravel path, Chaperone leads the way toward the source of the noise. Some of the less-intimidated scouts chant, "There's lions, and tigers, and bears, of my! Lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my!" Up ahead something is going bang-bang­-thud! Reaching the outhouse, Chaperone takes a firmer grip on her flashlight and pushes open the first door.
"Nothing in there!" She pushes open the second door. "Nothing in there!" From the other end of the outhouse comes bang-bang-­thud!
"No raccoons, girls; not even lions or bears. But watch the doors." The wind caught the doors. opening them slightly and banging them gently shut.
"Oh, it's only the wind banging the doors."
"Shucks" said Chaperone, wiping her brow.
Back in the cabin they gathered around Mrs. Marsh who ex­plained that they would now go on a night hike. Chaperone sighed softly and put her coat back on.
Down the gravel path, past the no-longer-scary outhouse, and out into a field under the stars, they walked.
"Look, there's the big dipper."
"And the little one too."
"I can see the North Star!"
Mrs. Marsh showed them several fire scars where they would do outdoor cooking tomorrow. Then they started back to the Scout Cabin singing, "The other day I saw a Bear"
After washing up, spreading bedrolls, and getting into their pajamas, they divided into "details": the fire-building detail, the find the pan and melt the butter detail, and the pop the corn detail. Chaperone took pictures of the gay group and joined them in eating buttered popcorn and drinking soda pop. Then, to bed.
At four o'clock in the morning, somebody shook Chaperone's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Will you go to the bathroom with me?" Groggily Chaperone pushed back her covers and got to her feet. The scout who'd roused her was searching for something, using her flashlight as a guide. Whispers: "What are you looking for?" "My other red tennis shoe." "Did you look under your blanket?" "It's okay; I'll put on my boots instead." Just then another scout awakened and felt the need to join them. Once outside, and jogging down the now-familiar path, Chaperone became aware of how sweet and fresh the air smells at four in the morning.
Three hours later Mrs. Marsh sounded reveille. Quickly everyone washed up, dressed, and began the work of the preassigned Patrols. The Water Patrol filled three "water-boys" from the outdoor pump (started by electric switch). The Cooking Patrol began making French toast. Mary, flipping a piece of toast, asked, "Does this count toward our Cooking Badge?" Mrs. Marsh assured her that it certainly did. The Hospitality Patrol gathered leaves, shells, and pretty bits of wood and fashioned centerpieces for the tables. Breakfast ready, they sat down.
"Please pass the syrup," Kelly requested politely. The leader passed the pitcher. "Mrs. Marsh, that doesn't look like syrup on your French toast."
"Why, this is the syrup pitch­- oh no, this is the coffee pit­cher!" Amid the merry laughter, the leader tasted her French toast and pronounced it "Exotic! Sort of like the Galloping Gourmet might cook."
After cleanup and a brisk hike in the woods, the Cooking Patrol began making Jungle Brew over an outdoor fire. Ordinary cooks of the world would call it spaghetti 'n hamburger, or glorified goulash. Only Girl Scouts un­derstand its very special essence.
Early in the afternoon, co-leader, Mrs. Bob Schultz joined the campers. They spent the next two hours studying nature. Saturday's supper offered another surprising specialty, Hawaiian Eyes. Teresa and Patty placed shortcakes filled with crushed pineapple sweetened with brown sugar in aluminum foil wrappers. After heating in the campfire they made a scrumptious dessert. Mustard, meant for the hot dogs, was spilled five times during supper, once into someone's milk.
After supper, Brother Andrew arrived driving a cattle truck. Seeing the questioning look on Chaperone's face, Mrs. Schultz calmly explained that they would all ride in the back of the truck to attend mass in Baileys Harbor. It was just a windy enough ride to blow away all adult inhibitions. Before entering the church, everybody picked straw off their coats.
Before bedtime the scouts put on a hairstyling contest, shrugging off the fact that sleep would muss their elegant coif­fures.
Sometime around midnight, a voice came out of the darkness. Sleepy heads started up to hear Mrs. Schultz intone, "I want one print here, and one print there!" When nothing followed this startling pronouncement, the sleepy heads giggled and sank back into their pillows.
On Sunday afternoon they set off hiking down Logerquist road to visit the Brothers of St. Joseph Novitiate. Halfway there Brother Andrew met them in the cattle truck.
At the farm, operated by the Brothers, the scouts were treated to horseback rides. Then, Brother John asked, "Now, who would like to ride the bull?"
"The bull!! He'll throw us off!"
"No, he won't. He's a gentle old fellow, really." "Okay, I'll ride him." "So will I!" And ride him they did. The adults watched from a sensible distance.
After the rides, the Brothers invited them into the big recreation room of the farm­house. They gathered around the piano. Brother Andrew played and the girls sang. He surprised them by knowing every request.
Next, refreshments. The scouts brought out cupcakes and cookies from their totebags. Brother John served glasses of Kool-aid. Then it was time to pile into the back of the cattle truck. The girls said good-bye to Brother John and the spotted dogs, Alice and
Poncho. Brother Andrew drove them back to camp.
The cabin was tidied and locked. Then everyone par­ticipated in a flag ceremony to close the day. "Would you like camping here every weekend?" asked Mrs. Marsh. "Ye-e-sss!" came the enthusiastic reply.

2023.06.09 07:08 climbingfool88 10th Wedding Anniversary next week; wife doesn’t seem too excited

Hey all! Ive (35m) been having a rough couple of weeks here and could really use some advice from y’all.
Ten years! Huge milestone! 2 kids, in our third house, and two years after moving across the country to chase dreams. I travel a lot for work, but I have noticed my wife(33f) has been growing colder the past 6 months. She has a lot going on, especially with my traveling schedule, she has the kids when she’s not working, and it’s a lot.
I get all of that. I’m worried, though, because it just seems like we’re not jiving right now. Less “I love yous” and lately a lot of hanging conversations that are very short and businesslike. And when we do see each other, it just feels like roommates. Relations are rare, and she very rarely initiates.
Anyways, next week we have a trip set to be alone together for the first time in about 4 years (Covid, moving) to celebrate, but the excitement and anticipation is not there. In fact, she has brought up canceling multiple times since we booked it 2 weeks ago.
Can someone tell me I’m just looking into it too hard?
Tried to eliminate tl;dr. Hopefully you can help me buck up.

2023.06.09 07:08 Imjustthatgoooood Trying to find an AI Paul McCartney cover song that was deleted yesterday when all my troubles seemed so far away

Hi, I had found a really great Ai song which was Paul McCartney's voice on Electric light orchestra's or ELO's "telephone lines" however from what I could tell the music which sounded like a plain acoustic piano is entirely original, even the vocals was something in which I think the youtuber (now terminated) had done themselves as I could not find another video which sounded like it. I don't remember the youtubers handle, though I did see other video's which had Paul doing other songs from ELO tagging someone who created the tracks "at sign tdash7" and I don't remember exactly how I found this but I ended up finding a Youtube channel which had a familiar name "Tyler Squire" which also happens to have been deleted as when I clicked on the page it took me to an error page https://www.youtube.com/@TSDash7 all this being said, If anyone has info on this song i'd really love the input and will answer any questions because I don't want to give up on this song. Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvbI7PStGuE you can find the channel "Alternate Universe Records," which in his description they have tdash7 mentioned; how we know tdash7 isn't alternate universe records is because he has other vids mentioning other ai song cover creators. Lastly, if you look at the image here, https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1VDKB_enUS1031US1031&sxsrf=APwXEddev29eGPBvadJ9R76X63Ys5CTcMw:1686286139625&q=paul+mccartney+and+jeff+lynne&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiO7t2ysbX_AhVlPUQIHSe1A44Q0pQJegQIChAB&biw=1344&bih=698&dpr=1.25#imgrc=b182Lnf-9eLabM this was the cover used for the video, if anyone has answers or the video please do tell me. Thank ya very much.

2023.06.09 07:07 upbeet_downbeet Someone help get things going again

Someone help get things going again
My husband and I (30 & 29) have been going through the biggest rough patch in our marriage. I’m talking, I got diagnosed with an illness, he is now going bankrupt, we just had a new born, and he just found out his job is down sizing and his department will be non existent.
Needless to say, there’s been love, tears, resentment, stress..all that you can imagine.
But lately I’ve been…well horny. I’m too scared to have intercourse just yet. If I get pregnant again I WILL die (no joke lol) but I’m not on any contraceptive right now. Plus the thought of it just sounds too painful right now. I’m totally down for oral but also he hasn’t been the most supportive lately so I’m not about to do him a favor if I’m not in the mood…but I am in the mood! But for myself!!! Helllppppp lol

2023.06.09 07:07 cadertot222 19M) Boyfriend doesn’t open up to me (19F) about his emotions/what he’s going through

We have been dating for over a year.
He has gone through periods in his life which are rough, everyone does and is bound to have things happen. The only thing though is that he will not communicate with me about how he is doing/feeling etc. I always thought that maybe this is something that he needs to warm up to in a relationship, but despite very visual, behavioral and social cues, I can tell when he isn’t doing so well.
Lately he has been talking to me in a tone that makes me interpret things as him being frustrated or annoyed. So I will ask how he is feeling and most time he will respond quite defensively.
This worries me for a few reasons. 1. How can we navigate our life together in the future if we cannot get past the bare minimum of telling me what’s going on. 2. Why do you feel like you need to suppress/hide how you feel from me 3. When he behaves in a frustrated and irritable way and does not communicate that he is going through something, it results in me thinking he is frustrated with me.
I go round and round in my head about this and need some others opinion to weigh in.

2023.06.09 07:05 BIGstickBRAD Golfed with a weird A-Hole

I played with a random guy at my local course, and it was clear after the first hole he was all up in his head and had watched way too many YouTube videos. For the first 6 holes he was constantly asking me questions about a proper swing, and using terms he clearly picked up from watching instructional YouTube videos. After he had sprayed his driver to the right rough on the par 5 7th, he proceeded to top the hell out of his 2nd shot, and I kindly suggested “you should try keeping your feet planted, they slide a lot throughout your swing,” and he flipped his shit out of the blue with “OK ENOUGH F%#KING ADVICE, MY HEAD IS OVERFLOWING WITH WAY TOO MUCH RIGHT NOW” very loudly and extremely angrily at me.
I got pretty quiet and said “my bad dude, won’t happen again.”
This happened after 6 straight holes of him asking ME for swing tips…anyone have a similar story of a guy living rent free in his own head?

2023.06.09 07:05 Active-Tea-1361 i’m afraid of giving head/being bad at sex in general

i’m (20F)going home from college in a few weeks and i’ve been talking to this guy (20M) for a while. everything’s been great online but he always says he’s wishing i were giving him head and i just kinda laugh. now that it’s becoming closer i’m getting more worried. what if i’m bad at it? what if my gag reflex is too bad? do people actually push it farther down your throat? how far it does it actually go? i’m not super sexually experienced yet so any feedback would be appreciated.
my only few times were really rough, not pleasuring, and i was bleeding for a week. will i continue to bleed after every time? how can i make it less unpleasant?
also side questions- is it normal to be up for more rounds of sex in person when you only feel like one whenever you masturbate? like i just feel done after i orgasm once but i feel a pressure to do more so will i have a problem in person?

2023.06.09 07:03 ifywim Help needed with travel itinerary.

Hi everyone. Visiting Srilanka in a couple of days. I haven't planned much except for a rough idea as to what I'm gonna do.
Requesting for you help to make my plan better as it was a last minute decision to visit SL 😅
Here's what I've planned.
Day 1 - Land in Colombo by 1, Hotel Check-in, Gangaramaya temple in the late afternoon, sunset at the galle face beach and try dinner at Aluthkade.
Day 2 - In Colombo. What are the different places I can cover in a day?
Day 3 - To Kandy by train. Explore the tooth relic temple and other places.
Day 4 - Morning Train to Nuwara Eliya via Nanu Oya. Spend the day sightseeing.
Day 5 - I wanted to go to Galle from Nuwara Eliya. However I couldn't find any way except coming back to Colombo and then to Galle.
Is there an alternate route that i can take or other places I can go to from Nuwara Eliya that would be on the way to Galle?
Day 6 - Spend a day at Galle exploring.
Day 7 - Morning at Mirissa and return to Colombo by night.
Day 8 - Afternoon flight back home.
Please feel free to suggest changes in itinerary. It's a very short trip. So trying to cramp up many things.
Thank you :)

2023.06.09 07:03 carnotaurussastrei To Start From the Beginning...

To Start From the Beginning...
My worldbuilding project (henceforth the "project") is a soft-SciFi, alternate history imagining of Earth's future. Before the truly original content starts to appear in the timeline, a few prior events must take place for my project to be realistic - in my mind, anyway.
Mexican-American War, ca. 1848
After the Mexican-American War finished in real life, the United States gained huge amounts of Mexican land out West under the terms of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. February 2nd, 1848 is where the project officially detaches from real-world history somewhat, as the Treaty of GH (and James Knox Polk himself) saw Mexico cede about three-quarters of its territory, including the Yucatan Peninsular and Cuba.
Something like this, although with borders less rigid and with the integral exception of Cuba. (Credit to u/binchops34)
These new territories of Baja California, Sonora, Greater Chihuahua, and Yucatan remained territories of the US until 1888, 1911, 1896, and 1921 respectively. As such, these territories were unable to have a say in US politics during the Civil War and thus provided no exceptional contributions to the war, which ended in Union victory in 1864.
World history continues from thence as we know, albeit with a considerably weaker Mexico and a slightly stronger United States. Importantly, the US's foreign policy was influenced beyond measure as a result of Polk's interference with the Treaty of GH - one might consider the US a colonial power now.
Spanish-American War, ca. 1898
Among other causes, William McKinley's desire to improve US industry and overall global strength culminated in the Spanish-American war of 1898 which saw, as we know, Cuba, Guam, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico ceded to the United States. However, neither the Teller Amendment (1902) nor the Tydings-McDuffie Act (1934) was passed, leaving all Spanish secessions as American territory. With the US now being a colonial power, with colonies in the Pacific and Caribbean, their views of European colonialism was softened.
Post World War II, ca. 1946-91
World War II devastated Europe and their colonies. Following the war in the late 40s and early 50s, some independence movements took hold across European colonial empires, especially in France, the Netherlands, and Britain. Although the French lost French Indochina, Israel was formed as we'd expect, and the Belgian Congo opted to remain a British protectorate for a decade after 1943 (as it was captured by Britain to prevent it falling into German hands. By the way, the British refused to grant independence, and it remained a protectorate), much of the British, Dutch, and some of the French empires remained.
With an ally in the US, now pro-colonial, these nations kept hold of their empires for decades, which served in preventing many African civil wars. In the 70s, Spain and Portugal lost their empires as their authoritarian governments collapsed, even despite the strong empires remaining.
In the 60s, South Africa became a British protectorate on par with Egypt and the Congo. Anyway, from now until 1991, history played out roughly the same - notably with Nicaragua taking the place of Cuba in the now Nicaraguan Missile Crisis of 1962, and with a more powerful Britain and France.
Upon the gracing of 1996, the youngest son of Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales; and of Princess Camilla, the Princess of Wales; Prince Henry, was born (despite Charles and Camilla's middle-agedness... call it plot-forced pregnancy).
With that, we reach the end of the project's historical context. Here we learnt that:
- the US gained huge swathes of Mexico in the Mexican-American War which bolstered US support for colonialism and Manifest Destiny. - the US refused to grant independence to either Cuba or the Philippines after the Spanish-American War, as a result of the US' newfound support of colonialism. - World War II saw the collapse of the Belgian colonial empire, and its territories were effectively stolen by Britain. - After World War II, the French, British, Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish empires remained (albeit with minor losses, such as French Indochina, and Israel), especially as a result of US support for colonialism. South Africa also became a British protectorate. - the Cold War continued as expected except for a Nicaraguan Missile Crisis rather than a Cuban one. - finally, the third and youngest son of Prince Charles, Prince Henry, was born in 1996.

2023.06.09 07:03 LivingCloud3071 Seeking Advice on a $5000 AUD PC Build for Gaming & Game Development: CPU, GPU, and Cooling Considerations

Hello everyone,
I'm reaching out from Australia and am looking for some wisdom and guidance regarding a PC build that I'm currently planning. My primary use cases are gaming at 1440p, VR gaming, and dabbling in game development using the Unreal Engine as a hobby.
I have set a budget of approximately $5000 AUD, and while I have a rough idea of what I want, there are a few aspects that I'm uncertain about:
CPU Choice: I've been considering the Intel i9, but am somewhat concerned about its tendency to run hot. I'm unsure whether the cooler I've chosen is adequate, or if I should be contemplating a switch to an AMD chip. An Intel i7 is also on my radar, especially if the i9 could be overkill in terms of performance increase relative to its price and potential heat output.
GPU & Cooling: I'm contemplating the 4090 card, but am aware that certain GPU brands have less effective cooling solutions than others, and I'm keen to factor this into my decision-making process. Given that I'm primarily gaming at 1440p and have two 1440p 240Hz monitors, I'm wondering if a 4090 might be overkill. Would a 4080 be a more cost-effective choice, with the possibility of a future upgrade if needed?
Future Proofing: While I understand the relentless pace of tech development, I'd still like to build a PC that will provide strong performance for a reasonable length of time. I'm not entirely convinced by the concept of "future-proofing", but I'm open to being persuaded otherwise.
PSU: Lastly, I'm interested in whether the PSU brand I've chosen is trustworthy, and if it's over-spec for my build.
Ideally, I'm after a system that runs cool, efficiently and doesn't need constant tweaking or overclocking. Essentially, I'd love to 'set it and forget it.'
Any and all advice from this knowledgeable community is greatly appreciated. I'm here to learn and eager to make this build the best it can be. Thank you in advance!

2023.06.09 07:00 ThrowRAHopelessLife Girlfriend (30F) thinks I (26M) am a narcissist (in communication). Can we work things out?

To be clear she specially mentioned that regarding how I am in our communication, she feels like "I think I'm better than everyone else" or "I always know what's best".
We broke up yesterday, she intiated but I could see it coming and was thinking of doing the same. Only been dating around 4 months. We didn't really talk much on the breakup, she came over to stand at the door and said she doesn't feel like she wants to get to know me anymore and I told her I was kind of expecting the breakup since the last weekend was rough between us.
Since we didn't talk much yesterday (literally 1-2 min) I sent her a positive goodbye message after then after moping in bed all day messaged last night to see if she could just write out some of the reasons why, kinda just wanted closure since we didn't really even talk. She ends up messaging today to see if I wanted to meet so we meet up to talk.
Her main issue is the communication, which I agree with, we both had just been getting really frustrated with each other. No yelling or anything, we're both introverts and I'm the quieter one. But she phrased it as she thinks I'm a narcissist and that just really hurt.
I only realized that later, in the moment when we talk I stayed calm and just asked more why she thinks that. I think it just really hurt because even though I'm not the best at expressing emotions I feel at least with actions I thought I was being pretty caring.
Ex: cleaning up her place when she's tired, flower and chocolate gifts, affirmations, cuddling, mostly going along with her choices for tv/movies, etc.
I know I'm not always as verbally loving as I could be and I'm working on that. I'm pretty sure I'm not a narcissist, just don't always communicate emotions well. And part of it is she's not always honest with how she's feeling.
I'll sense how she's feeling but not know why and have to push her to tell me, usually I leave her alone though cause it's hard to tell what irritates her.
She also mentioned in the past cause we talked about it that she's sensitive to feeling like people are treating her like she's stupid because of her past. I told her I don't feel that way and try to be aware of it but she's even said that sometimes she acts like she doesn't know something so people don't have high expectations of her.
It's probably a mix, sometimes she knows and sometimes she doesn't, but I automatically react with advice (working on it) because she act unsure or uncertain about something then get annoyed like I'm talking down to her.
Or one time in a game I told her something was different than she thought, that it had changed, but she didn't believe be me and had to go check it out herself and on the way just says "Are you just sitting there waiting to prove me wrong?" Because I just was watching the TV show she had on waiting for her to check it out in the game.
I'm just wondering if this salvageable? We decided to "take a break" really just break up and have no contact then talk again in a few weeks at a specific time to see if we want to try again or not. She seemed to be questioning her break up decision after my last message which is why she agreed to talk again, I wasn't sure so I wanted to just try to talk again in a month cause I like her but was going into the Convo just ready to be done. Not planning to date or look for anyone else, not that kind of break.
I'm in therapy, been for awhile, she's not but definitely has some stuff we've talked through that would likely be more helpful to work on in therapy. Her side she felt like she just needed to be more patient with me, because I "I just like to talk about the information I hoard sometimes" referring to thinking I'm an INTP. And that's when she takes things personally as though I'm thinking I'm better than her
TL;DR: I'm just trying to figure out if I work on my communication style and show more verbal appreciation and communicate more emotions could we try again? Or are we just going to be incompatible?
