How long do butterfly live

I live in a suburb of Chicago. Lived here 25 years, had one dog for 8 years now, the other for 3. I've never had a tick problem. In the last week or so, I've found about 8 ticks. 3 on my dogs, 2 in my hair, 2 on my body, 1 in the shower just crawling around.
I walk my dogs in forest preserves, but we don't go off trail. Sometimes they go into the tall grass, but nothing they've never done before.
I'm really freaking out as I've never had to deal with ticks before. What are the chances of contracting diseases from them? I have no idea how long they were on me or my dogs or if they were "attached". One that I found on my dog was way under her fur on the skin, but I just grabbed it off and killed it. For me, one was on my scalp, same thing, idk if it was attached to me, I just pulled it off and killed it. The others were on the surface of the haifur and I just flicked them off.
I'm taking both my dogs to the vet tomorrow and to update their vaccines and get a tick check and blood panel. I'm washing all my clothes and blankets and the dog beds/blankets/pillows/harnesses.
How will I know if they've laid eggs anywhere? Do they lay them in the house or only on living things?

I'm in dire need of some advice, or comment if you have had similar experiences. I find myself overwhelmed and confused. This will be long, but please bear with me.
I hit perimenopause a year and a half ago. It was bad: hot flashes, UTIs, osteoporosis, atrophy, depression, insomnia.. After taking the estrogen patch, progesterone and DHEA, most health concerns are under control. My husband was pretty supportive throughout. We have been together since 19 years ago, when we met in the UK doing our PhDs. We now live in another country and almost 50 years old. He is from Eastern Europe. No children by choice. I have a mobility impairment since my early twenties due to a very traumatic car accident.
In the last two years I have started training as a Mindfulness practitioner, and my whole outlook on life has changed. My academic career is really not so important anymore. I spend most of my free time training. I have found a lot of peace and happiness in helping people.
After the pandemic, the situation in the country where we live has deteriorated greatly in terms of security, and the University where we work is in crisis. My husband has been getting more and more needy and angry during the last three years. He always relied on me for emotional support, and for regulating his moods. In turn, I relied on him for physical help with things I could not do, and for travelling, etc. It was a happy union before things changed. Now, he gets extremely angry, even aggressive if I dont validate his opinions, or if my arguments or viewpoint is somehow better articulated than his. He has been raising his voice and sulking, even in front of other people when this happens. He has no friends (except mine) or any independent hobby. Politics seem to be his only interest, and he now consumes a lot of Twitter and other forums. He gets worked up there, and takes all his frustration on me. I have suggested he joins some activist group, or a political party to channel his frustration, he refuses. I have also voiced the need for greater tolerance overall, and with my views in particular, to no avail.
His father died in January, and left him a house in his home country. The paperwork on the house is not done, it belongs to both him and his brother, but it is not clear which part of the house belongs to whom. I have asked him to sell it or rent it, since I dont want to keep working until my 70s, I probably physically cant. Ideally, I would like to retire at 60, and in any case think the house should be our egg nest. He has avoided the conversation, or plainly refused. The house we live in is mine, he refused to sign the mortgage. He pays me rent ( a very high one). We have a legal partnership, and our financial assets are not joint.
I dont know if it is the lack of estrogen, but I dont give a fuck anymore. I am tired of taking care of his emotions, and providing social opportunities for his entertainment, plus all the mental load of planning our lives and strategizing. He does most of the housework, but I cook. Now, I have to censor what I say when we talk.. God forbid I have a better idea than him.. or disagree. Yesterday, I told him I want some space and we should have a trial separation, followed by marital counseling. He was shocked, but mainly angry. He said he agreed with the counselling, but he was almost 50, and he was not going to change. I have to say that shocked me, I thought he would be scared of losing our relationship. He also said he is "risk averse" and he was not going to sell his house or find hobbies or friends.
I thought I would grow old with this man. The chances of finding a new partner in the society I live in are zero (I have divorced friends and family members my age). If I am to be divorced, I would need to find some way of making sure I dont become a victim of the security situation, and help with the physical side of life. On the other hand, I can not see how to go on with him.
As usual, I am the one who is going to find the counsellor, make the appointment, etc. Would it be worth it going into it with the intention of making an effort to save the relationship? Should I just give up?
Any advice would be welcome.

Boyfriend since HS hasn’t proposed
Like the title says… I 24F and boyfriend 25M have been together since we were 16. Broke up for a year during COVID and got back together in 2021. 8 years total.
In 2021, he moved into my small studio apartment. This was fine, as you do what you can for the people you love. After my lease was up, we moved into a 2 bedroom apartment together and have lived together ever since.
We have a really nice, healthy relationship. No fighting, no drama, no toxicity.
However, he doesn’t really do the things that a boyfriend would do, and sometimes I feel like a roommate lol.
Since living together, we don’t go on dates, unless initiated by me, he doesn’t get me flowers, or surprise me with things. I’ve talked to him about it, and he says he understands, but nothing changes. Essentially, it’s feels like there is no initiation on his end to build intimacy between the two of us.
Sometimes, I feel bad for asking for these things since we have a good overall relationship, but every woman wants to feel loved, heard, desired and thought of when they’re not around.
For the past year, I have been probing the idea of marriage and where he falls on the idea. Originally, he wasn’t thinking about marriage and it was the last thing on his mind, (I assume due to his childhood/family life) but I have brought it up enough to where he knows this something I expect to move toward in our relationship. We have had plenty of conversations about it, and it’s is very clear this is a non-negotiable for me.
The last time we spoke about it he said, 2 years is his time frame. While I am not one to force anyone to want to marry me, this seems like an unreasonable amount of time considering how long we have been together as adults. I rebuttled with 1year, when our lease is up.
I feel like a placeholder. It just isn’t something that seems to be a priority to him, and if he won’t deliver on little things like dates or flowers, how can I expect more of a gesture from him like proposing?
He says that he wants to have enough money to give me the life I deserve, while this is a sweet thought, how long will that be ? 2, 3, 4 years? While financial stability is everyone’s goal, does love and commitment not super-cede this? We have been regular, full-time hourly employees for the entirety of living together, so I understand the strain of wanting/needing more money, but I am not asking for a super expensive ring or a super lavish wedding just an engagement with some kind of commitment.
I feel selfish for saying that I am not keen to wait any longer for him to fully commit to me, and I really don’t believe in ultimatums. However, at this point, I am unsure if I am being unfair and impatient.
To add to it, I became pregnant last month, and decided against keeping it. I would like to be married first and have myself in order before bringing a child in this world. After the MA process, I feel less sad about the pregnancy and more so have been reconsidering the status/pace of our relationship.
Any ideas on why he hasn’t proposed? Am I unreasonable and selfish? Am I just a placeholder?
TL;DR - boyfriend since high school, living together (as adults for 3 years) hasn’t proposed, and doesn’t do much to keep the intimacy of our relationship (dates, flowers, surprises, etc) he says 2 years before he will propose, but how long do I wait for an engagement before calling it quits?

Title explanation: Kaden kicked Kyson in the left knee. He went to urgent care and there is no break it is just a bone bruise. it will take 4-6 weeks to heal 90%. The doctor also confirmed that Kyson has osgood schlatter disease. Lilia will be leaving on her 8th grade trip to Washington DC in 2 weeks.
They are playing hooky today from school. They are headed to urgent care. There is just something in the stars. Their family has just been going through the wringer. Between Mango, Lilia with her hives and now Kyson with his knee. Jess threw her back out when she was painting. (i never realized before how chopped up her videos are with the editing. She is all over the place and she doesn’t finish a sentence before moving on to the next thought.) She has a back injury that she has had for a long time that showed up in her prenuvo scan. She has a bulging disc in her back. It always hurts but Jess painted and now it is excruciating. Yesterday Kyson was playing on the trampoline and Kaden accidentally kicked Kyson’s knee. Kyson is a competitive soccer player. His left knee has been injured in the past. Jess showed a video of a kid kicking Kyson’s knee in one of her tiktoks. His left knee keeps getting more and more injured and they are pretty sure he has osgood schlatter disease. This disease is a common thing to have when you are a competitive soccer player and growing. It is basically that you are growing too fast and your ligaments can't keep up. It is something Kyson will grow out of. Kyson does have ongoing knee pain. Last night the same knee got kicked. His knee immediately puffed up and is so swollen. Jess has never seen a knee this swollen. They are headed to urgent care.
Kyson’s ligaments seem fine. The doctor was amazing and super incredible. The doctor confirmed that Kyson does have osgood schlatter disease. The disease is the reason for the knee pain. The doctor got opinions from sports medicine doctors. Kyson got an x-ray done. The doctor will call if anything comes up on the x-ray. It is a contusion which is a bone bruise. That is why the knee is swollen. The doctor said it will take 4-6 weeks to heal 90%. 90-100% is a bit more difficult to heal from that point. The doctor does not recommend that Kyson play in his last game but to let pain be the guide. The only downside to playing the game is that it will reset the healing clock. If Kyson is not hurting they can consider it but if he is hurting then don’t try it. Mimi is hearing if you need to play the last game play it and then don’t do x y and z for 4-6 weeks. Jess didn’t ask about practice. Jess will ask about practices when the doctor calls about the results. (I bet you that they will make Kyson do practice and play the game then do 4-6 weeks of healing.) They will see what the x-ray says but the doctor doesn't think that it is a break. They said in 10-14 days if it gets worse to reach out and they will get Kyson physical therapy through sports medicine. The doctor said that the sports medicine doctors at the facility care for the kings players.
They are having much needed one on one time with the kids. The rest of the kids are still in school. Jess is making Kyson’s favorite chicken and rice.
Jess is picking Lilia up from school a little bit late. Lilia had a meeting after school. Lilia is going on her 8th grade trip to Washington DC in 2 weeks. 2 weeks is how long there is left of school. Jess didn’t realize how soon that was coming. The day of Lilia’s last day of school she leaves with her classmates and teachers to go to Washington DC. There is a student meeting today and a parent meeting next week. Jess has a checklist of things to get Lilia. Lilia needs a certain debit card to use while she is away. It is stressful. Lilia has traveled alone twice; however, it was just to disneyland. There were two times when she flew alone. Tommy and Caden have also flown alone. Lilia has never flown alone this far. They live in California and Washington DC is across the country. Jess is nervous but excited for Lilia. Lilia is excited that she is going with her friends. Sending Lilia across the nation is stressful. Jess has so much to do today. Urgent care really set back her day. Jess has so many things she needs to accomplish. Mothers day is in a few days and Jess has so many things in store even though she is a mother and should be chilling. Jess wants to have a barbeque and make it cute. Jess wants it pink themed and wants to set it up before mothers day. It will be gorgeous weather and hot on mothers day. They are going to have their first pool day of the season. Jess is excited for it and here for the beautiful weather. Jess has to get ready for that. Jess also needs to post a video today. She has been back on her youtube schedule for the most part. Now that Jess is on 3 platforms full time it is harder to stick to her every other day posting schedule. On tiktok she tries to post every day or every other day. That is also a fulltime job like youtube. Jess essentially has 2 full time jobs. Jess also posts it all to instagram. Jess tries to stick to her every other day schedule and has been doing pretty good. If not every other day, she tries to do it every 3 days. She is also posting on a platform every day. Jess is trying to make youtube more regular and more consistent. She has been doing all right every 2-3 days.
Lilia can only bring 1 small suitcase and a carryon backpack. They can't bring any liquids. They are also going to New york. On the first day they are going to get right off the plane and straight to doing things after their red eye flight. They can only use their phones for photos and no social media. They do have to bring a phone. They are not allowed to go to the last day of school. They are to stay home that day and pack. Jess is scared and doesn’t want Lilia to go without her. Jess wants constant updates. Lilia doesn’t know if she is allowed to send Jess pictures. They are allowed to use their phones to take pictures and contact your chaperone. They can only contact their parents if it is necessary. Jess at least wants Lilia to text at the end of the night. They are going to see outsiders the musical. Lilia is going to take a lot of photos because that is her only excuse to be on her phone.
Jess dropped Lilia off and is picking up Addie to go to cheer. It is a jump class. There are fly classes, jump classes and tumbling classes. Today is a jump class. Addie has not done this class yet. Jess has been living in the tesla today. There was a hit and run on their property. Someone took out their mailbox yesterday. They got it on camera. They couldn’t see the actual act of it but they could tell which car hit their mailbox and wiped it out completely. The car didn’t say anything and just kept right on going. It took out their side view mirror. That was a little scary.
Addie loved the class. It was Addie’s first time doing the class. It is crazy to Jess watching her child fall in love with something on her own. Cheer is Addies’ own passion. Addie was a dancer for the last few years and she did like it but didn’t love it. Addie is loving her new sport. The same thing happened with the boys and soccer. Jess doesn’t know anything about soccer and the boys absolutely love it. (Maybe the reason why her kids love doing sports that Jess has no experience with is because they are tired of Jess comparing their accomplishments to hers.) Jess loves watching her kids fall in love with things they want to do. Kyson’s doctor called back and confirmed that there are no breaks and that he does have osgood schlatter’s disease. Jess learned that there are alot of people that have this disease. Most of the time it is something that is grown out of. It is a disease that happens in young athletes.

Hi everyone!
Long time listener, fairly new show goer.
Due to an injury and some particular limitations I have been awarded some time off work. One thing my injury is no longer limiting is my ability to do one of my favourite things: move and groove.
I live in Ontario and I will be going to Escapade with some friends at the end of June. Coincidentally, that's also how long I've got off work - until the end of June.
A little bit about me: I love trance. I was at an AvB show and had someone tap me on the shoulder while I was dancing and actually say to me, "Hey man, you really love trance!" A sweet memory. If it comes to house and techno I naturally lean more toward the melodic / progressive artists. I also don't mind a bit of a heavy set now and then (rockin' my Subtronics jersey).
With that being said, my question for the community is, could anyone give me a good show recommendation?
Given the details above if you guys had from now until the end of June and could choose one, maybe two shows or weekend festivals (nothing longer than a weekend, please; I have a dog) to go to in North America, any show that tickets are still available for anyway, haha. Which show would you choose?? Yes, I am A-OK to spend the money on a ticket, flight and hotel etc.
As the beginning of my post mentioned, I am pretty new to the actual scene, so I really don't know any shows besides posters I see posted here every week! That's why I thought to reach out to ask, which one would you not want to miss in the next month or so?
Thanks so much!

8 years.
He's been a part of my life for 8 years, from a far.
I've always felt him near me even when I'm in the privacy of my own home. I was 15 when I first met him, he would have been 18 going on 19. Nothing special happened between us in my mind, I liked him but I was young and needed to experience my life. He took that as I was denying him of his chance, I guess from that moment on he couldn't stop.
Let's go to the beginning, I was 14 maybe 15 sitting in the school office waiting. He walks in to return some books, I'll never forget the day we locked eyes.
He didn't pursue me until the next year or so, when I turned 16. We would chat speak online until one day, I decided to hangout with him. He picked me up, took me to his house. At the time (even now) he lived with his father but his area was the basement, that's where we entered in.
I should have figured it was a bit off when he didn't take me through his front door but later on that day he introduced me to his father, after that I went home. Nothing happened, I went on with my life.
Always having him in the corner of my eye, lurking through my social medias, always trying to find a way to reach out.
I would go out in public and he'd be there, just looking at me. I didn't think much of it, sure it was weird but we didn't speak. I'm now 24, still dealing with him in my life.
I recently posted on a public story on Snapchat (I really didn't understand how it worked) and that's when i discovered all the pictures he's been sending (it's not the first time either) but it's been for so long. He realized I read them and began callir shitty and asking why i wouldn't respond, thi proceeded to message me back to back off 3 other accounts.
You may ask why I haven't blocked him, trust me i have. A million times, i can do 10 today he'll have 10 more with my stuff already in them tomorrow.
I finally received a message saying " you realize im never going to give up right".
After all this time I finally reached out to his family (that's a private conversation that i won't be talking about) but the jist of it is they had no idea he was like this and I learned he has an entire computer setup with multiple phones/extremely techy.
I should feel better knowing action is being taken but I feel worse. Not really scared, just confused why this is happening.

Hi everyone,
My (cis f) wife (trans f) came out to me as a trans woman a few months ago and is in the beginning stages of her transition. She is out to a few friends and has recently bought new feminine clothes that she wears occasionally around the house but not in public yet. I am very supportive of her transition and, because I am bi, we will be staying together. <3 I truly love her so much. She is my person.
What worries us, however, is how my side of the family will react once my wife inevitably comes out to them. My parents, while highly loving and supportive, are conservative Christians who believe in "traditional" marriage and that living an LGBTQ+ lifestyle is sinful. We have some gay family members that they adore and treat great, but I've also had conversations with my parents in the past that make my wife and I apprehensive to spill the beans -- especially since trans people are the scapegoats in conservative circles now. My parents don't hate trans people, but they're skeptical. It can also be harder for some people to support their queer children than strangers or acquaintances for whatever reason.
Basically, they aren't raging homophobes/transphobes, but they aren't exactly neutral on the subject either. I really don't know how they would react because, until recently, I'd never even dreamed that I would one day have to come out to them (I'm closeted and was fine never coming out to them, but my spouse being trans is a little more difficult to hide). I know they wouldn't disown me or my wife, but I fear it will drive a wedge between us. I've always had a close relationship with my parents, so the thought of potentially losing that life-long connection is terrifying.
All and all, my wife's health and well-being comes first. I will choose her over my parents, no question. But I want to do whatever I can to salvage the relationship with my parents before considering cutting ties (which I don't think will happen). Has anyone gone through a similar situation or have any tips on how to skillfully come out to conservative Christian parents? Thanks so much in advance.

Guys, I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I grew up Baptist and was even baptized as a “symbol” of my faith (I now understand that God actually used this to claim me as his own). I eventually left the faith in college because I couldn’t reconcile what I had been taught about human sexuality with the reality of my deep, intense feelings of attraction to the same sex. 7 years and a few heartbreaks later, I am miraculously drawn to the Catholic Church. It’s too long to recount here, but I have had these extraordinary encounters with Jesus that have led me ever so gently to his holy church. I’m now regularly attending Mass and holding my rosary close. But I feel stuck.
Coming from a Protestant background, I hear a lot of stories about how people give their lives to Jesus and then are miraculously changed and transformed and able to overcome their sins. Sad to say, that hasn’t happened for me. I am DAILY fighting Satan over these sexual desires and failing too often. The mental transformation has happened: I now fervently desire to overcome this sin and live a chaste life for Jesus. But the physical transformation hasn’t happened, and I’m constantly tortured by the thought that I’m in mortal sin and if I died I would go to hell. Add that to the fact that I have to wait until fall to begin RCIA and even longer before I can go to confession and receive absolution.
I truly feel the spiritual war within me: a deep longing to join the church and be closer to God and a continued deep longing for male companionship that won’t go away and makes me feel so far away from God. Oh, and my family is not happy about me not choosing to return to their reformed Baptist church. What’s a guy to do?
Any advice, honest thoughts, or prayers are appreciated<3

I really don’t know what they expect from me. Every time I get excited about something that interests me or I feel inspired to do something, I always tell them and hope that they’ll share my excitement. But all I ever hear is how I’ll never make a living from it, I’ll just be a starving artist and should just focus on finding a career then pursue my interests on the side, or overall just have negative things to say and sometimes one small positive that gets overshadowed by the negative
But over the years, that never motivated me. I just gave up, because I was never encouraged to try again until I was happy with my progress. I have tried to achieve things beyond my capacity but was shut down at those attempts too, not by my parents but by teachers for example. All my parents knew was manual labor, so that’s probably why they never shared my enthusiasm. I lost interest in so many things that I just gave up on finding myself and now all I do is work, eat and sleep. I lost motivation to just be excited about life and now they complain how I spend all my time in my room. I really wish they would just leave me the hell alone, but I’m still financially dependent on them and I hate that. I was comfortable living with them in the past despite still being a child knowing I had nowhere else to go and now I wish that I never settled into that mindset. It’s different when Im older now and not a kid anymore. I don’t like the way they talk to me, it makes me feel smaller than I know I am. Ive endured mental issues from lack of self esteem my entire adolescence and never recovered from that yet
This took me a long time to process these feelings because it’s hard disassociating from your parents. I barely made friends and they were all I knew. I don’t even want to talk or look at them anymore. I avoid them as much as I can in the house, ignoring group text messages and they even get upset when I avoid them. I don’t care how they feel about me anymore

January 29, 2384 - the day of the last total eclipse is when the raid began. “The day of the sun's false shadow” as people call it now. We, humans, were an unsuspecting victims in a universe habited by multiple vastly stronger existences. When it happened the world had been thrown into utter chaos and shock. The sun had been completely covered by the moon and this event was supposed to last only a short while however after two hours sunlight had still not shown its face upon the earth's surface. This was the beginning of humanity's greatest tribulation. After days of the sun's light not being shown the planet's temperature began to drop and to compensate for this people began to create massive fires but this did not stop the problem. Photosynthesis in plants began to stop, making it harder for humans to breathe. This made humans build labs and create artificial oxygen, which took care of that problem but humans still began to die from hypothermia, frozen oceans, and forced stoppage of blood flow. After two weeks, the sun finally revealed itself and all hope had been restored in humanity collectively only for half the population to be massacred in an instant. “The watchers” had been slowly waiting with armies to colonize our planet and technology beyond our wild comprehension. Technology we can only dream of had been shown and used right before our very eyes and for the first time in all of human history, we had been united as one in our mutual fear and horror. 2 months later, 90% of humanity has been wiped out and the few who remained were used as slaves to cultivate energy. With the use of a Dyson shell, nearly 80% of the sun's energy and heat had been directed into maintaining their energy. Amongst all this time, humanity had collectively agreed to fight back. This began the creation of the liberation group, “the Plague”. These groups of people were the last hope of humanity and carried an extremely large ambition and dream on their shoulders. While “the watchers” were extremely advanced this doesn't change the fact that they were fallible and this group of people were their scourge. They didn't have the military might nor the advanced brain to even keep up against “the watchers” but through slavery and forced labor, the human body began to develop into something stronger. They began to surpass their limits and break the barriers that the human mind had once placed on themselves. Through the selective farming of “the watchers” a new plant had developed that was essentially a stimulant to the human body and a limit breaker for their physical capabilities. At first, they began by using strong levels of acid to corrode the buildings and structures and then stopping their heartbeat to give the impression of suicide so they could not be caught, however, they did not die due to a new system developed from the human's newfound evolution. Due to the strict regimen that we had to follow, we knew all of the places where they would and wouldn't be, all the blind spots of the planet, all the places where they were in close proximity to a chasm, and all the places where we were at a disadvantage. We used the blindspots as bases and hideouts where we could plan our vengeance. After a year of just observing their behavior, habits, bodily functions, and even their schedules we developed a hypothesis that 24 seconds after 7:39 PM we have approximately 19 minutes and 53 seconds in Greenland where we are not being watched nor located. We used this small window of time to gather the fundamental items we needed to fight back and build the foundation for our organization. We gathered food, plants, water, armor, and weapons. We realized that they were immune to cutting/slicing damage and could only be hurt through blunt attacks. With this knowledge, we developed a specific fighting style and used that small time frame to train others in it. We adapted to the harsh conditions and created clothes using spare pieces from “the watchers” specially made for insulating heat, weighing less, and being less penetrable by outside attacks. After a year every person on the planet was a master at this martial arts and had fully developed a counter to all technology that “the watchers” had. However, we could not initiate immediate war on them so we needed a plan. We came up with the idea to have one of our strongest members report to the watchers about our activity and give away one of our bases. This created the false notion that not only did they have someone working as a double agent on their side but also they knew where we would be so they could catch us off guard. We were all there like they expected and they attacked like planned. We had all moved our weapons, armor, and vital items into a different base but kept some things where they attacked to make them think we had not gotten far but this was a dud. Eventually, we had all “died” and had our bodies left at that place as a sign of victory on their side. However, because of this, their ego had grown and they began to underestimate us. The surveillance had gotten weaker as they assumed their “double agent” would tell them everything as a trade for luxury living. We knew that physical power would not be enough so our smartest man collaborated to develop a virus specifically made for their genetic makeup which took about 5 years to extract small strands of DNA without them realizing. Once the virus had been created the incidence began and eliminated more than 60 percent of “the watchers” because of how they were too distracted trying to develop a cure and the vast amount of them dying, we had gained more time to develop our forces and we began to ingest various harmful substances but in small doses in order to gain resistance to any harmful poisons and acids. After new children start to be born this began the origin of a new human species. One massively stronger, smarter, more durable, and with all the immunities and benefits without the downsides. With the birth of this new generation, all of the human race had experienced a collective euphoria. We had begun to secretly train these kids for years and strengthen them in a way the human race had never been before. Due to the circumstances of their birth, they had also developed a strong ability for adaptation and healing factor which ultimately led to humans finally being able to physically compete with “the watchers”. However, we were still lacking in numbers despite the virus taking a vast majority of “the watchers” away. Some of us grew confident and because we were now physically capable some believed we could win the war while others believed we couldn’t yet. This created division within our ranks but did not necessarily break our ranks but that was all depending on your interpretation. We gathered our smartest men and women to make a plan to initiate war, and for 14 days they were stuck in ruminative thought. 2 years passed and we had finally built up the numbers, technology, and physical capabilities to contend with the watchers. Now on the day of the war, all of our strongest soldiers imitated the attack. But this time they were an unsuspecting victim on a planet habited by a stronger species. During the war we had counters for nearly everything the watchers could dish out but one thing we were not aware of was the fact that the watchers could transform into a smaller but faster, stronger, and more durable form. This form took the shape of humankind. So closely related that it struck fear into the hearts of many. Not only was this extremely off-putting but the revelation that came along with it had altered the perception of humanity as we know it. The war had been put to a halt, and all forced fighting in the war had directed their attention to one watcher and one watcher alone. All forces had been completely immobilized and fighting back was no longer capable. With this, the words that had been spoken out of the watcher were a revelation that humanity had not even considered possible. “We are not your enemies. We are you but from the future. In our original timeline, we have been attacked by a species even higher than us. We had been pushed to the brink of extinction and our last hope was only to go back in time in hopes that if we returned to our past selves we could help evolve even more to contend with the world-ending threats from the future. This siege we had laid on this planet and the forced evolution, progression, and tragedy among humankind also brought extreme progression in human capabilities. All of you are vastly superior to your previous forms because of our arrival. While we acknowledge our methods were not the ideal we had no other option. This was the fastest and most effective method to progress the human species although we could not allow the human race to have this win. It would boost the ego of your race and our all of you in a state of comfort and stagnation. With this being said we resign from our participation in this war and would greatly appreciate it if you allowed us to help humanity rebuild and donate technology.” Speechless as to what humanity has just heard we just stood there in utter shock and disbelief. Not a single soul knew what to say and all of humanity had stood in confusion. One man spoke “how do we know this is true” the watcher proceeded to show pictures and videos of them being massacred while some stood in human form and others did not. They showed is this along with the words, “we initiated this war as a way to put the human race through natural selection and eliminate all the weak human being who would not be able to contribute to our growth and success in any upcoming battle. So with that being said what is your decision?” Our leader, and the smartest woman among us had stated, “We humbly decline this offer as we would prefer to evolve by our capabilities and we have already surpassed you so what can you possibly teach us.” After this being stated the war had been started again and the watchers had been for the first time since the “great cleansing” began utterly defeated and annihilated. With the war being won, humanity being victorious, and newfound abilities being discovered humanity had been thrown into an era of peace and prosperity. All tragedies had been blamed on the watchers and for the first time humanity had an ever lasting peace and a perfect utopia where everyone agreed and benefited from each other. With this, we have been vastly improving and slowly but steadily rebuilding our planet and all of humankind. Our members started family’s and genuinely enjoyed the life they were living once again. Everyone acting coyly and with one another was a beautiful side to behold. Everything was perfect until the same monsters who killed the watchers, showed up to eliminate us due to fear of what we could evolve into this time we had no way to fight back and our ranks were already diminished or severely weakened. How would humanity be able to survive this time???Most people had been massacre and captures to be experimented on. Very few of us had actually managed to get away from them and we had only been able to do this through shadow banishment. It was a skill that we had acquired through the technology of the watchers. Living in the void was not the ideal lifestyle as it was ruthless, dirty, and unsafe but the chances of surviving here were massively higher than surviving on earth. Only a hundred of us remained and the human species were basically extinct. With this small group left we had resorted to instead of trying to repopulate and exact revenge immediately we would take the short route. In the void monsters had no sort of civilization and the only rule amongst these creatures were the strongest prevail. There was no sort of rule, order, or even a sense of respect between these monsters. The weak were prey for the strongest, and the strong were killed by the stronger. We took this as an opportunity to not only increase our strength by training and battling but also amassing an empire. The remind of humanity collectively agree that we would bring order and peace to the void. The best way to go through this was by entering the tournament. The monsters held tournaments to watch the strongest fight and kill each other for pure fun. We joined this colosseum and while at first we easily overwhelmed our opponents we had slowly been facing harder and harder opponents as we rose through the ranks. By the time even a single one of us was defeated we had made a name and gained the attention of multiple monsters within the void. We were not necessarily respected or followed but we were feared and simultaneously an opponent that monsters wished to fight. After this we had developed our own fighting ring in which monster could fight and battle against us and only us. We implied a set of rules in this ring. Rule 1; no killing Rule 2; reservations must be made to fight Rule 3; both parties must consent Rule 4; do not make the fight personal Rule 5; it must be between a human and monster. These rules created a sense of security amongst the monsters and while driven by their desire of battle they also abided by the rules. Eventually after fighting throughout the tournament and gaining more traction with the monsters in it. Eventually even the most high ranked demons had begun to make reservations in for our fights. Our strongest soldiers had been the ones to fight them as nobody else can really compete. The first fight had been with a demon who had the ability of immunity. This ability did not only revolve around internal status effects but also could be applied to his physical body. The fight had been the biggest one the ring had ever experienced and it did not disappoint. Eventually we had won and this through the whole entire void and everyone in it into an uproar. Monsters who never even bothered to fight had shown up to battle. The strongest monster in the void and the only monster with a sense of order, self, and purpose had shown up to fight all humans by himself. He agreed that if we win he would pledge allegiance to us all and work under our rule however if we lose we will be killed. This monster bore an extreme resemblance humans. The structure of his body and the contents of it were all human like however he claimed not to be. This monsters name was angel and he possessed the ability to manipulate and control all matter with the sole exception of any other organic material that resided outside of his own body. Our commander and strongest member amongst us was the person to fight him. His name was Alexander and despite the fact that we didn't have any singular special powers like him however our physical bodies were honed greater than any other species in existence. They were evenly matched in speed and strength and even in our capabilities to rapidly heal from damage. They had been evenly matched in all physical ability and the fight had ultimately come to hand to hand combat and who could last longer. Angel was unmatched in combat and had barely even been hit due to how experienced in martial arts he had been; however throughout the fight Alexander had been naturally adapting to his fighting style and developing counters to everything. Our natural ability to adapt to all attacks and effects placed upon us had given a clear win condition; however time was needed to actually see and fully understand how to possibly adapt to everything. The longer the fight took the higher the chance of Angel losing. Alexander had slowly but steadily been adapting and developing new combat styles to counter everything angle could do and even had grown to use his own severed limbs as projectiles and use his blood as a coat over all other objects to cancel his ability to use his field. Angel's main ability had been to control the air around him to increase speed, power, and even get a sense of what his opponent would be doing before it happened. After finally adapting to this his body had begun to heat itself in an attempt to turn it into vapor and due to blood being organic matter of another life form he would no longer have control of the air and the surrounding area. After this the fight had come down to solely base physical capabilities and for 10 minutes they had been mindlessly brawling and instantaneously healing through the damage taken. After a long period of time their healing began to slow down due to bodily fatigue. Biting, punching, scratching, kicking, anything you can think of, they did it. That fight was a bloodbath unlike anything else and in the end they both passed out on the floor with nothing left besides their bodies soaked and bathed in each other's blood. After they had both been knocked unconscious their bodies had been left there in anticipation for them to awaken. The ring filled beyond capacity as people argued and fought about who would awaken first. In anticipation for this once in a lifetime event the whole void had stopped with all its attention. Angel was the first to awaken and he had been exhausted and utterly stunned as to how he actually had gotten knocked out. He had the opportunity to kill his opponent as he had technically won the battle but out of respect for his opponents strength and capabilities he possessed. After the fight had finished Angel had left and was never to be seen again. After 2 weeks Alexander had awoken in a small shack being guarded by one other human and confused after everything had been explained to him he had went around looking for angel but he was not to be found. After awakening Alexander had been massively stronger than before. Due to the physical state his body was put in and all the damage that he had taken from Angel his body had adapted and become more dense in order to take all the attacks while sustaining the least amount of damage possible. After his awakening this began our political revolution. We had now implemented the ring with rules and gotten multiple monsters to follow by these rules and with them being accurate to filling orders more now we had decided to initiate a leadedictator in a sense. The top 5 strongest creatures in the void had been the leaders and this had consisted of Alexander at 1, 2 other demons at 2 and 3, and humans to fill the final spots. We began to implement laws and rules in order to stop the mass murder and destruction happening and within a small time frame we had created structures similar to the ones of the earth. Houses and gyms in order to train in hopes of becoming stronger and even professional combat sports. After 2 months time had passed we had developed a military with our best members in it and humbly had began to repopulate. All this had been done in hopes of regaining the earth and defeated our oppressors. Fast forward 1 months the and the siege of the home planet had begun. They had not been suspecting us however took the preparations in case we had come. Based and soldiers set up in every corner of the world to fight back when the time came we did come back. With this an all out war for the fate of humanity had began and the extinction of either race lay in the balance between life and death.
After the war had began all forces had been deployed to different areas of the planet. Groups that had worked together best being deployed to one part while our strongest being deployed to another. At first we had been nearly even in everything besides technology. They had everything that we lacked and this gave them the combative edge. However despite lacking in technology we made up for it in numbers. Most fights had consisted of large groups of monsters fighting against one or two of our enemy and this has convoluted till their forces had been somewhat deployed. The one on one fights had been more dragged out and heavily impacted the war. Our strongest soldiers fighting against their strongest soldiers in a one on one fight. Everyone has put their all into this battle and left nothing to spare. Our second and third strongest soldiers had the most impact in this war not because of who they fought but because of what they could do. They didn’t actually have abilities specific to them but instead they were born with a type of energy within their bodies in which they called “synergy”. This synergy could be used to amp all their physical abilities but also be used to crate and use techniques or even use techniques that are specific to the traits of the individuals soul. The strength and physical stats of the individual depended on how much synergy they had at their disposal and while some of them were able to gather strength from other life forms it was not a very common occurrence. Alexander fought someone with the ability to control and manipulate momentum. They used synergy and funneled it through all objects of their choice to increase or decrease of momentum of that. This didn’t do much on a wide scale and was a very basic ability but in a solo battle this made it extremely hard to land attacks and even when they were landed they did little to no damage. The most important one to kill had the ability to manipulate all probability. Meaning the likelihood of us even winning this war was less then .0001 percent with them being alive. Whether it was because of a collection of small losses or one major loss did not make a difference. All odds were stacked against us as long as this person remained on the battlefield. In simple terms the whole war relied on the defeat of that person. Our second in command and smartest soldier, “Cassandra” decided to take this upon herself. She was the only one among us who possessed an innate ability and was viewed as the most special soldier but this came at a cost. She gained a talent no other human possessed but in return she no longer had the natural ability to adapt to all circumstances. Her ability was to take the form and attributes of any and all creature she knew to exist. Mythical or not she could take the shape and ability of these creatures and use it as long as she desired. However she could only use one at a time and had to wait 30 seconds in between shifting. Our third in command, “Vladimir” had took the roll of fighting their head technologist. While his opponent had not specialized in battle he still was one of the most dangerous and this was because of his ability to create machines as small as molecular level that shared his thoughts and emotions. These machines were used to repair his body in case on injury, transport information, invade any opponents body and restrict movement, anything that he deemed possible could be done with the use of those machines. But he chose to mainly use them as sort of technological tools to help him further advance his society. The rest of our battles were not nearly as important and were mostly group battles. Afro the beginning portion of Alexander’s fight he had been losing severely and could barely land any attacks at all. After a few minutes of getting beat down and not being able to fight back the adaptation process began. The first adaptation was only a temporary solution to the problem but his body had been explosively shooting out sharpened pieces of his bones and even using tiny droplets of blood as weapons. However this was only a temporary solution because eventually those bones and blood just started being slowed also. The final adaptation and most effective one happened when his body created a function in which he can store kinetic energy and then release it at any given time. This allowed him to rapidly boost his speed whenever his momentum had been slowed and basically cancel out his opponent power. However this still did not stop how his opponent made himself significantly faster. After this the fight had been more tipped into Alexander’s favor but still not enough to actually win. Throughout the progression of the fight Alexander had been gathering more and make friction between the clothes he had and his feet running against the floor. After gathering as much friction and kinetic energy as possible he let it all explode and release all over his body. This altered the form of his body. His body and skin began to form cracks and let off steam. He began to turn dark red and his eyes became shot with blood. His body was slowly crumbling and deteriorating. He had 5 minutes left to defeat his opponent and if he did not then his body would crumble and he would die. Due to his rapid healing factor he had a chance of living if he was able to end the fight within 5 minutes and give himself some time to rest but this all depended on how much he could get done. The battle had been tilted all the way in Alexander’s favor and had no longer been a battle. It had turned into if his opponent could outlast him in those 5 minutes. Brutally beating his opponent and taking full advantage of the situation Alexander did not relent on his rampage. Stopping his momentum no longer mattered and it seemed like the more he tried the faster Alexander got. Steam had been blowing off him. In the end he had managed to kill his opponent within those 5 minutes and had been at deaths door. Cassandra had began her battle and had been absolutely obliterating her opponent. The ability to shape shift from dragons, unicorns, hydras, centaurs, and any mythical creature you can think of. At first she had taken the abilities of a dragon but throughout the fight she had been developing into stronger and more complex creatures. After a while her opponent had been decreasing the probability of her even landing attacks. This made it extremely hard for her to fight and maintain the advantage. She took the appearance and abilities of the mythical deity sun wukong. Due to sun wukong being a monkey that ascended into a higher power he is one of the only gods that she can transform into. After this she gained the ability to not only make clones out of every hair on her body but also multiply the power of each clone. While she does not possess every power sun wukong has she possesses some of them and the most prominent ones. This fight had been a one sided beatdown and only lasted longer than 2 minutes because the probability of each clone attacking each other had been raised to its maximum percentage. Despite this every 1000 punches that had been thrown at least 1 hit her opponent and this was more than he could handle from millions of clones. Vladimir had no special capabilities; he only possessed an extremely honed body and battle experience. At first they had been near equal but the battle began to take a turn when the tiny bugs began to infest his body and eat him from the inside. Due to his advanced healing factor he had been able to stop any significant damage and fight with mild discomfort but this did not change that if he continued in for a longer period of time then he would inevitably be defeated by these bugs and killed. This made the battle a race against time. Expending everything his body had to offer and leaving not a single drop of energy left. Pushing his body to the absolute peak and physical limit. Even going beyond the known capabilities of his body he began to evolve into a higher form. He did not develop any new type of power or gain a newfound power but he did increase and rapidly evolve his physical capabilities. He began to punch with such speed and strength that he created shockwaves from breaking the sound barrier. With this his punches became far more explosive and with every punch thrown he was exploding giant parts of his opponents body and everything within the perimeter. With no regard to his surroundings the battle had destroyed everything in sight and left them fighting in a bare wasteland. Basically erasing everything within line of his punches he began to annihilate his opponent with speed and strength unmatched. Due to all the tiny machines within his body he regrow limbs and was able to counter attack with near no fatigue or even lag in his action. While pushing his body to its absolute limit his body had given up on him. Rapidly healing from constant damage, pushing muscles to their utmost limit, moving, attacking at his highest speed, and even understanding/ perception of all attacks massively faster then he could ever before. Due to all this his body began to give out and in the midst of battle he fell and was unable to recover. No longer able to fight back and maintain the performance he had, he was defeated. Being eaten from the inside, limbs being torn from his body, and being damaged so much that not even his regeneration could keep up. His head had been ripped off his body and with this humanity had suffered its first major loss. After this all other forces began to gain support from all his other bugs and humanities forces had been rapidly depleting. With loss in sight humanity had lost hope and accepted defeat. Right when humanity had accepted defeat and all hope had been lost the king had shown himself once again. Like an Angel coming to bless all of humanity he had run through and obliterated all enemies of humanity. Destroying everything in sight and bringing all enemies to his feet he had saved humanity and restored hope and just like that he had disappeared into the void once again. There was no explanation as to how or why but in that moment all of humanity knew who we would be forever grateful and indebted to. Not many opponents had been left standing but the few who were, were extremely weakened and overwhelmed by numbers. After this decisive battle humanity had been in a state of joy and excitement out of their new victory. Once all the excitement and happiness from winning had worn off all the sorrow and remorse from the losses had come rushing in. All the lost family members, dead soldiers, limbs lost, and mental trauma had taken a toll on humanity. After we had gotten our planet back we did not spend our time rebuilding and trying to repopulate. We spent months mourning the loss of our loved ones and all our soldiers. We laid in depression and sorrow for our mutual loss and mental trauma. This brought humanity closer as a whole and we bonded over our suffering. Humanity had been one but at what cost. After years of processing humanity had finally been able to rebuild all of our structures, population, and even expand to different planets. After all these trials and tribulations we had finally evolved completely and after ages of loss we had finally entered a golden age of humanity. After all this we had begun to explore the deep parts of our planet and while exploring we discovered something far beyond our comprehension. Humanity had only been a small part of a vastly bigger world and a whole new world had now been exposed to us. We had breached through the ice caps of the north pole and had been greeted with hostility from a race on our planet we did not even know existed. After entering this “new world” humanity had found out the truth of our existence and creation. After finding out the truth of our creation and the prophecy of our faith we had all collectively regretted winning that war. Beyond our world laid horrors and truths we were not yet prepared for. After all this we had once again been thrown into a dark age with no will to fight. In the end this was the beginning of the end for humanity…

Hey y'all
A few weeks ago, my car was impounded as it was reported as "abandoned". The car was parked legally on the street in front of my house. However, I had just moved to this place about 4 weeks prior, and hadn't updated my address with the DMV, just the postal service. Thus, when the deputy checked my registration, they saw my car was associated with another address in town. They put a notice on my window that they would impound the car, but I was sick and quarantining for a few days, and those days just happened to be when they were counting it as abandoned. No attempt was made to contact me, when both my phone number and email were on my registration. So when my fever broke and I was ready to return to work, my car was simply gone, with no indication as to what had happened. Had to make some frantic calls just for the Sheriffs department to blame the towing company, and for the towing company to blame the Sheriff. Long story short, I had to pay $518 that day to get it back, lest the "storage fee" from the towing company continue to accrue. I am living paycheck to paycheck, and this was a significant financial burden.
To my understanding, the law states that a car has to be unmoved for 72 hours to be considered abandoned. However, from the time I got back from work before getting sick, to the time it was towed, only 63 hours had passed (and that's being really generous towards the deputy, assuming it was reported as abandoned the second I got home, not even including commute time). Thus, I am contesting this in small claims court.
I have never done any court proceedings, and I have no idea what to expect. How should I prepare for this hearing? Do I need to bring in evidence? Do I need a lawyer? Can I ask for compensation for missed work time and court filing fees in addition to the impoundment fee?
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone,
My (cis f) wife (trans f) came out to me as a trans woman a few months ago and is in the beginning stages of her transition. She is out to a few friends and has recently bought new feminine clothes that she wears occasionally around the house but not in public yet. I am very supportive of her transition and, because I am bi, we will be staying together. <3 I truly love her so much. She is my person.
What worries us, however, is how my side of the family will react once my wife inevitably comes out to them. My parents, while highly loving and supportive, are conservative Christians who believe in "traditional" marriage and that living an LGBTQ+ lifestyle is sinful. We have some gay family members that they adore and treat great, but I've also had conversations with my parents in the past that make my wife and I apprehensive to spill the beans -- especially since trans people are the scapegoats in conservative circles now. My parents don't hate trans people, but they're skeptical. It can also be harder for some people to support their queer children than strangers or acquaintances for whatever reason.
Basically, they aren't raging homophobes/transphobes, but they aren't exactly neutral on the subject either. I really don't know how they would react because, until recently, I'd never even dreamed that I would one day have to come out to them (I'm closeted and was fine never coming out to them, but my spouse being trans is a little more difficult to hide). I know they wouldn't disown me or my wife, but I fear it will drive a wedge between us. I've always had a close relationship with my parents, so the thought of potentially losing that life-long connection is terrifying.
All and all, my wife's health and well-being comes first. I will choose her over my parents, no question. But I want to do whatever I can to salvage the relationship with my parents before considering cutting ties (which I don't think will happen). Has anyone gone through a similar situation or have any tips on how to skillfully come out to conservative Christian parents? Thanks so much in advance.

Hello Seattle! I am a mother of 2, a service worker, and a dog owner. You can't accuse me of hating dogs or not "understanding" laws. I'm just very sick of this behavior like these animals take priority over everyone else!
-Dogs off leash all over the city, including beaches -Dogs in restaurants and grocery stores, in areas explicitly against health code! -Dogs being allowed to defecate in the middle of park areas where people are supposed to be able to enjoy the grass. There are plenty of areas NOT in the middle of picnic and play areas for them to piss and poop that won't spread disease to the rest of us! -Dogs defecting on private yards and landscaping. Your dogs urine is corrosive- are any of you paying to replace it?? -Dogs defecating ON BUINESSES and Restaurants! I see this regularly! Owners casually standing around like there is nothing wrong with their dogs leaving a puddle just feet from someone's front door?? -Dogs on extra long leashes all over the sidewalks making it dangerous for everyone else. Walk your dog properly so there is room on the walkway for the rest of us and we aren't having to field around your animal! -Dogs being allowed to accost others at the crosswalks while we wait. I don't care if they "are nice" CONTROL YOUR ANIMAL! -Dogs being seated on the bus seats! Not everyone wants to be covered in your dog's hair! -Dog owners lying about pets and "emotional support" animals being Service Dogs. The ADA is VERY CLEAR that your ESA is NOT a service dog! STOP LYING!!! -Dog owners not picking up their dogs feces, or bagging it and leaving the bag!? How disgusting, rude, and lazy does one have to be?
You love your dog. That wonderful for you both. That doesn't mean your dog shares the same rights as people and children! The majority of dog owners wouldn't appreciate a filthy child jumping all over them at the bar but see nothing wrong when their beast does this? Anyone who doesn't appreciate it is the problem?
Enough is enough. I wish the city would start handing out tickets for all of this nonsense. Have some decency and respect for the rest of us who also have to live in this city. Properly control your animal, stop bringing them into places they don't belong, and clean up after them!!
*and don't leave an excuse about how homeless humans leave worse messes...that attempted misdirection is tired and has nothing to do with you as a dog owner taking responsibility for your animal.
Please and thank you.

Very long post so I apologize, I just want to establish the timeline to give as much information as I can.
I’m looking for some alternate opinions and ideas.
Rottweiler, nearly 5 years old, 90~ pounds, active and in shape.
April 17/18, she was bit on her face by a snake while on a hike (there’s three kinds of venomous snakes in my area), presumably a copperhead as I did not see or hear a rattle, and I only saw that it was brown (the other venomous species is black). My other two dogs were there, and the first priority was to get all of them away, and assess the situation more.
She was very clearly in pain, so she was rushed to the emergency vet. She was given anti venom, an overnight stay, and returned home the next day. For the next week, she was given painkillers three times a day, some antibiotics, all of which she finished. She returned to normal and was back swimming in the pool and running around.
May 8th I notice her panting a lot, wanting outside and not acting like herself. Upon physically examining her, she had what is best described as a soft but large lump on her neck. I decided to take her to her normal vet.
I told him that she had just recently (a couple weeks ago) been bitten by a snake, and after shaving and examining the lump, he suspected she was bit again as there was certainly a puncture wound. He asked permission to give her a dose of anti venom, and I asked if there are risks involved if it wasn’t a snake bite, or if she didn’t need it, would there be any complications. He assured me there would not be, they’ll administer it, monitor her, and keep her overnight so I gave the okay and went home with her in their care.
He called back a couple hours later, well after closing and he said that I should come back to the vet. She had apparently went into anaphylactic shock and had a stroke after receiving the anti venom. He said that it was a very rare case, as when you give dogs anti venom and monitor them, if certain levels start to rise you just stop giving it to them and the effects reverse before they reach dangerous levels. She apparently had the reaction immediately. I transferred her to an overnight vet which was an experience in itself, as carrying her to my vehicle was not pleasant.. she had no control over her bowls and had a poop/blood mixture coming out of her almost constantly. The overnight vet took her in, I picked her up in the morning to go back to the regular vet per their request. She was obviously very disoriented because of the medications she was on (or, her reaction too) so she had to be carried to/from and her mood was very “dull”.
She stays overnight again, and on Friday I think it’s all good to pick her up. The vet asks to keep her again over the weekend this time, free of charge, to continue to monitor her and make sure she’s getting her fluids.
Today, may 13th I get the go ahead to pick her up. The vet says he’s covering her entire visit which is of course nice.. she’s eating and drinking fine, but she’s having difficulty walking. Instead of her paws going flat and walking, her paws buckle forward (imagine trying to walk on the back of your hand rather than your palm) causing her to stumble.
She was carried into my vehicle and we went home. I lifted her out of the vehicle and set her down, and difficulty walking was certainly an understatement. She maybe took one step before I carried her inside and put her in a closed off living room.
Another thing I would like to note: I gave her a little bit of water in a bowl, and she would lick it maybe once and do something that I’m probably going to have difficulty describing.. imagine you have a popcorn kernel stuck on the back of your tongue and you kind of.. try to rub the back of your tongue against the roof of your mouth to dislodge it. Something stuck in the back of your mouth and you’re trying to remove it without coughing / hands etc. she does that, but quite dramatically. Puts her head down and uses her paw to rub her face while doing the tongue thing. Seemingly no problem eating though - I got her some fresh raw food rather than her kibble and she ate it without issue. She stood up to eat (after I adjusted her paw) and ate it all.
I’ve done a lot in trying to snake proof my back yard, though the area is large. I’ve went out with my dogs every time they’ve been out since and will continue to do so.
So now, my questions:
How long should I wait to try any physical therapy for her, or is that even recommended? If so, what kind of PT? My idea was to put her harness on and kind of lift her up a little and try to get her to walk
The water thing, any thoughts or just give it some time?
Any specific supplements, foods etc she should be having?
Was this a result of negligence on all parts, or just a freak reaction?
Open to any other advice, very much appreciated too. Thank you.

I (24 m) have been in a long-distance relationship with my gf (21 f) for about a year and a half now. We haven't been able to meet up before now for various reasons (finances, job changes, etc.), but we are finally at a point where we can meet. Early on in the relationship (2 months into us being friends), my gf brought up that her mom wanted to run a background check on me first. I had no issue with her running one, I just asked that she wait till closer to the time we actually meet and gave a specific timeframe for when I would be comfortable with it. My background is clean, and I just have issues with people I haven't met or spoken to having that much information about me. I've been on the internet and know how much info you can find if you're determined enough. Her mom apparently wouldn't let it go and kept bugging gf about it causing her to bug me about it. I agreed to a sooner timeframe if the mom was willing to give me the info I needed to run one on her and the mom refused. We eventually had a video call, and the time came and went without any issues. This was the only (until today) serious argument that we've ever had. Now we're planning our first meet up and her mom wants to see my ID before we do anything for safety reasons. Again, I have no issue with this; I just want her information in exchange because I'm the one traveling down to meet her and I want to send the info to someone on my end for my own safety (she lives, in her own words, the human trafficking center of the country). Again the mom refused and caused another argument between me and my gf. I don't want this to be a make-or-break argument for us, and we're both asking for the same thing (my ID and her ID) for the same reasons (safety in case something happens). I'm willing to trust her mom if she is willing to trust me (information for information or no information for no information), but the entire argument is about how I refuse to compromise and just give her my info for her safety while I have to go on trust that nothing will happen. Everyone tells me it's a red flag (and weird) on my end to ask for that information but it's okay for her to ask it of me. But I'm being told to give someone all my information for my gf's safety while I just have to go on trust that nothing will happen. So aita?

Disclaimer: I have fine hair but I have a lot of it. I also have low porosity hair so my hair takes obnoxiously long for it to get wet enough so shampoo will work. It helps to be able to move my head around, flip upside down or else the bottom will never get wet. This is also an issue for rincing out my hair. I am 5'6".
I hate washing my hair even when I have access to an American style shower. It takes so much longer than if I wash it in a tub. Alas, most apartments in Europe don't have tubs. I understand it's considered a luxury. I'm going on a trip and I forgot to cut my hair, so it's at my midback now. And I'm dreading how long it'll take, banging myself constantly against the walls literally just trying to raise my arms to apply products or finger detangle, getting water all over the bathroom while I try to rinse out more than just the very top of my hair, or even while I'm trying to wash and have to angle it away from me.
I have lived in Europe for short bouts but never figured out how to wash my hair in these tiny cubicle things without becoming absolutely exhausted and frustrated. So how do y'all do it? Is the secret just to not have long hair?
This feels so dumb that I have to ask how to successfully take a shower.

Hi my name is Dwira!
I'm a recent graduate and got into the Master's of Rehabilitation Counseling program starting this fall. I would love to make connections within the same field or similar area of study. I hope to help children in some capacity in the near future.
I am also looking for guidance about housing. What's a good place to live considering my major? Is there a certain area that is expensive? Companies to stay away from? Areas not to live for sure? My budget is around 700, willing to go up or down. Happy to live with a roommate(s) in 3b/2(3) bath, 2b/1(2) bath, 1b/1bath, or would love a studio within the same price, if possible.
I may bring a car to campus, but still up in there, if I do how bad is it gonna hit me financially and do you all think I really need one?
I would love love love and definitely need to have a job on campus that can help support me while doing my coursework. Any tips on how to get started? The UW Madison job board seems mostly summer oriented as of right now.
I haven't recieved any information about classes, building, honestly no on boarding information at all. So I am all ears to any advice surrounding anything to do with Madison from making friends to academics (related to my program or master's experience).
I would love to make connections before going to campus! I've never visited campus nor lived in a "happening" city before. Being a blend of american and indian cultures, I try to be as open minded as I can be and I love listening to others' stories. Feel free to reach out, especially so if your in a similar position as me or in the same or related area of study :) Also I am bengali, would love to part take in any cultural groups, programs, or make more bengali friends!
I know this is long, thank you for reading!!

Boyfriend since HS hasn’t proposed
Like the title says… I 24F and boyfriend 25M have been together since we were 16. Broke up for a year during COVID and got back together in 2021. 8 years total.
In 2021, he moved into my small studio apartment. This was fine, as you do what you can for the people you love. After my lease was up, we moved into a 2 bedroom apartment together and have lived together ever since.
We have a really nice, healthy relationship. No fighting, no drama, no toxicity.
However, he doesn’t really do the things that a boyfriend would do, and sometimes I feel like a roommate lol.
Since living together, we don’t go on dates, unless initiated by me, he doesn’t get me flowers, or surprise me with things or even get us dinnecook. I’ve talked to him about it, and he says he understands, but nothing changes. Essentially, it’s feels like there is no initiation on his end to build intimacy between the two of us.
Sometimes, I feel bad for asking for these things since we have a good overall relationship, but every woman wants to feel loved, heard, desired and thought of when they’re not around.
For the past year, I have been probing the idea of marriage and where he falls on the idea. Originally, he wasn’t thinking about marriage and it was the last thing on his mind, (I assume due to his childhood/family life) but I have brought it up enough to where he knows this something I expect to move toward in our relationship. We have had plenty of conversations about it, and it’s is very clear this is a non-negotiable for me.
The last time we spoke about it he said, 2 years is his time frame. While I am not one to force anyone to want to marry me, this seems like an unreasonable amount of time considering how long we have been together as adults. I rebuttled with 1year, when our lease is up.
I feel like a placeholder. It just isn’t something that seems to be a priority to him, and if he won’t deliver on little things like dates or flowers, how can I expect more of a gesture from him like proposing?
He says that he wants to have enough money to give me the life I deserve, while this is a sweet thought, how long will that be ? 2, 3, 4 years? While financial stability is everyone’s goal, does love and commitment not super-cede this? We have been regular, full-time hourly employees for the entirety of living together, so I understand the strain of wanting/needing more money, but I am not asking for a super expensive ring or a super lavish wedding just an engagement with some kind of commitment.
I feel selfish for saying that I am not keen to wait any longer for him to fully commit to me, and I really don’t believe in ultimatums. However, at this point, I am unsure if I am being unfair and impatient.
To add to it, I became pregnant last month, and decided against keeping it. I would like to be married first and have myself in order before bringing a child in this world. After the MA process, I feel less sad about the pregnancy and more so have been reconsidering the status/pace of our relationship.
Any ideas on why he hasn’t proposed? Am I unreasonable and selfish? Am I just a placeholder?
TL;DR - boyfriend since high school, living together (as adults for 3 years) hasn’t proposed, and doesn’t do much to keep the intimacy of our relationship (dates, flowers, surprises, etc) he says 2 years before he will propose, but how long do I wait for an engagement before calling it quits?

Im suffering from pretty bad burnout and trying to get support. This is an old event that left me running from my special interest.
Most of my life Ive been enamoured with computers, probably 10 years old when I saw my first one at my friend's house. I eventually after many failed attempts at other things, I had the experience and know how to get and IT job. It was perfect, life wasn't but at least work was great until it wasn't.
I worked as an analyst for a major ISP, once they noticed my work flow they started to add on to it. I transitioned to a follow up person, instead of a call taker. We only had two follow up people, one on each shift for a total of two. I handled high level impact events and managed RMAs the best i could. If a person needed help in the office with a problem I was usually the person to go to, my supervisors even asked me for help regularly. Also I was the only person to be able to handle follow up and keep it caught up. Follow up was mainly taking the tickets from issues throughout the entire region from data center down to customer and doing just that, following up. Most tickets were data center to node level though.
Down time in the office for me was rare but eventually I had a routine that aloud for some. We were encouraged to browse the Internet and get on our social media accounts. I did some, not nearly as much as most though. I was really into prepping, I never owned a gun. I never looked at guns at work or at home, I don't know why but I was fascinated with reloading benches. I have this thing with efficiency and I was hyper fixated on the cost of ammo versus reloading ammo. Again I didn't own a gun and wasn't even looking to buy one. However I did look at a ton of reloading benches though.
I had no idea what was going on with me at the time, work life was suffering as was home life. Somehow I had ended up with custody of both of my nieces because my brother hit them. They both called DCFS, not at the same time but about three weeks apart. I didn't want custody of my nieces but I was being very heavily pressured by family. I was living with my brother at the time, they couldn't live with their mom full time at that time. So essentially they would go to moms when I was at work if they weren't at school. I was buying groceries, cooking and cleaning for them and also paying rent to their dad. Their dad, my brother was gambling a lot at the time and was all a round not being a good person. He is diagnosed with bipolar. He attacked me a couple times while I had custody of his kids, I was calling him out for being a bad dad.
Back to work now and I've applied to a new position that would get me into a department that I was super interested in, critical infrastructure. I was given a programming test that I had 30 minutes to complete, it was a cake walk. Well during the interview I was asked how I would handle conflict resolution with a team member if we could just not come to terms on something. The response I gave was "I would need to go to my superior to get it worked out". I was told that my response was to militaristic and that me only scoring second highest on the programing test is the reason I didn't get the job. The other person was given the test and had 24 hours to complete it.
Life sucked at this point, I was feeling really burned by it all and was just getting less tolerant of a lot. My attitude at work changed and I was just not doing great all around. I must say I was really into conspiracy theories at that time too, I didn't believe in many but the one I did probably should have been quiet about. I don't want to talk about it and if you have made it this far you will soon know why. If you want to know after I will say in a DM.
I went into work one day and I guess it was time, they escorted me downstairs to this interrogation room. This old detective type person started laying into me about wanting to shoot the place up. They threw my web history at me, my chat logs. I was in shock and didn't know what to do, he just kept trying to show me reloading benches. They just kept at it for a long time, well it felt like a long time. I eventually just wrote out what happened and he wanted me to change what I wrote at the end. I specifically stated that at no point had I planned to shoot anything up and I was sorry if anyone took my actions or words that way. He wanted change it to say that I did want to shoot up the place. That was the main reason it took so long in that room. I was let go but it wasn't the end of it.
Within 12hrs my place was surrounded by police with automatic rifles. I was taken to a hospital where I think they thought I would be committed? The psychiatrist I saw after many hours was understanding and said I was fine and let me go. She even understood my stance on the conspiracy theory that landed me in that place and told me I wasn't crazy for believing it!
After about a month went by I had the FBI knocking on my door. I had an interview with them and was just so nervous at that point I just wanted it to be over with. I could barely talk I was so scared.
I never fully could trust another after that.
