2024.05.14 13:07 ThrowRAxpplexanana WIBTA if I (F20) my cousin (M24) that his bestie (M24) is jealous of him?

Recently moved back to my hometown.
Being the only child to our respective parents, my cousin, Kevin was like an older bro to me and we were super close growing up. I moved away when I was 8, and we didn't keep in touch (no hard feelings. We were just too preoccupied with new friends and school, etc).
Since I returned home about 9 months ago, we've been hanging out just like old times. I was introduced to his girlfriend, Tina, whom Kevin has been dating for little over a year now. She herself is still pretty new to Kevin's friends group, but really made me feel welcome to the group.
Kevin also introduced me to his high school best friend, Andy and his girlfriend, Hannah, who both initially seemed cool. But the more I've hung out with them all, the more I've felt something off about them two.
It started with the mean or sarcastic comments masked as jokes at Kevin's (and in her absence, Tina's) expense. Kev doesn't seem to notice. I get the feeling Andy's resentful of Kevin and Tina being all loved up and spending a lot of time together. I think he feels replaced by Tina? I also think Hannah is a little bit intimidated, or feels insecure around her.
Anyway, KT went away on a little trip about a month ago for their 1 yr anniversary, and I've not been in contact with AH in Kev's absence. But I've been noticing stuff, small, subtle things that make me wonder..
While KT have been posting about their time in Mexico- I, as well as KT's friends have all been watching them enjoying their time.
One day, Hannah posted a carousel of pics of her on holiday. It was so random because the pics are from a holiday she went on last year. I guess it didn't necessarily mean anything... but my brain did clock it for some reason. I got the impression that she felt envious seeing KT abroad and felt she had to compete? Idk, does anyone get what I mean? Idk how to explain it to KT.
KT returned eventually and life went on as normal. Then AH went on holiday 2 weeks ago, all friends knew beforehand except Kevin (Tina and myself). Kev was surprised, confused, and a little hurt that Andy didn't say anything to let him know. I thought it was interesting that AH went to the same destination as KT, even copying their travel itinerary, but not once acknowledging that they were inspired by KT.
I feel protective of KT and want to warn them about fake/jealous friends, and to remind them of the potential consequences of having such people around. But I feel like they'd think I'm just reading too much into the meaning of possibly why Hannah posted those pics recently, and her and Andy's holiday destination choice? WIBTA if I told them what I was thinking or should just keep quiet until more substantial evidence presents itself in AH's actions?

2024.05.14 13:03 ThrowRAxpplexanana How do I (F20) explain to my cousin (M24) that his bestie (M20) is jealous of him?

2024.05.14 12:58 Material-Explorer138 Messy sugar attempt

https://www.reddit.com/sugarlifestyleforum/s/AIkX0trKxX
Not sharing this for any specific reason, just a funny story that I have no one to share with
Tl;dr met with a POT we had amazing personal chemistry, but horrible sexual chemistry. Ended up with a friend rather than a SB
Story time: I posted about this POT a week ago, saying that its very annoying how after we moved to whatsapp she became fully unresponsive. A few days later she texts me that her phone wasn’t working which is why she wasn’t replying. I initially called BS but rolled with it anyway because she had become responsive so it was fine. We try to setup a date but it didn’t work out initially
A few days later I went on a solo wellness retreat in a resort an hour outside the city, spent the first night alone, then out of boredom decided to ask her if she’d join, fully expecting her to say no. Surprisingly she was totally game (later I kept joking about how she has zero regards for her own safety and she admitted that in retrospect it was dumb of her to do that)
I book her a separate room and send her uber money to come, then pick her up off the closest spot since its a private compound and ubers have no access. Right off the bat we hit it off amazingly and were really enjoying each other’s company. We check her in, she goes to her room to freshen up and get ready while I go lounge by the pool for a bit. She texts me “sorry its taking me long, just getting ready for you” accompanied by one of the sexiest spicy pics Ive ever received which got me really excited. We lounge by the pool, have dinner and hang out for a bit, and the conversation is flowing amazingly.
Then we head to my room, we start playing around for a bit nothing too serious, then she says shes kinda sleepy so she’ll rest a bit so we can have fun later. So we turn on a movie and just cuddle and she falls asleep.
A bit of backstory, we’re in a conservative middle eastern country where pre martial sex is kinda prohibited in resorts. A lot of places turn a blind eye, and I got the vibe from this place that they were chill, but boy was I wrong. 10 mins after she falls asleep someone bangs on the door, asking me to accompany them to the lobby. They say the cameras saw her stepping into my room 50 minutes ago and someone heard us fooling around, and we have to check out rn or theyll get the cops involved ( the legal side of this is a bit hazy, but I didnt want to cause I scene). Mind you, its 10 pm and were an hour outside the city in the middle of nowhere. I try to rationalize with the manager for a bit including hinting at money but he wasnt having it and he said we have to check out right now and that we’re both blacklisted from coming back (shame, I really liked the place before they turned out to be cockblocks)
Anyway we leave, try to find a last minute airbnb, drive for an hour till its ready, we have to enter separately (again conservative state) so a lot of drama was involved. We finally get to the room and we can’t wait any longer, we start going at each other instantly. Midway through I realize.. this is not doing anything.. for either of us. We tried different things, different positions, everything, the sex was just not sexing.. We rest a bit try again but by then we had already lost it and neither of us was really into it. We cuddle and sleep (the cuddling was great tbh but not really looking for a cuddle buddy). We wake up the next day, head to the shower, try to get it on a bit, again nothing. So we finally talk about it (I tried to get her to talk about it the previous night but she didnt want to), I end up giving her oral for a bit (I told her that Ive been told I give good head, but she said she didnt enjoy, the next day she asked me to). She seemed to enjoy it, or fake it, not entirely sure. Then we hang out for a bit then I drive her home, we stop for coffee on the way and again the conversation is amazing like constant laughing and relating to each other etc
We had agreed on PPM as a concept but she was too shy to name a number, so on my drive back home she says that even though the night was rocky she would still appreciate if I could help her out. I reply I was definitely gonna send her and asked again if she had a number in mind. She says no and I go with a mid range number to which she says is more than enough and shes really pleased with. We agreed that we would like to see each other again but definitely outside the bedroom. So no go on the SR but at least i made a friend

New Mecha Vehicles

  • Strider: A two-seater vehicle with the ability to jump. It's armed with missiles that can be used to bombard designated areas. Missiles can be replenished at the Repair Station in the Assembly Base.
  • Levitron: A special vechile that can switch between a speed form and a magnetic form. Serves as the upper-body component that combines with a Strider to form the Armamech.
    • In speed form, the maximum speed and hover height will be increased, and the vehicle gains a "collision acceleration" ability: it will not slow down when it hits an obstacle. Instead, it will accelerate using the stored magnetic energy.
    • In magnetic form, the maximum speed and hover height will be reduced, but it can activate a "Magnetize" ability to grab and toss characters, vehicles, and specific objects.
  • Armamech: A four-seater vehicle combined from a Levitron and a Strider. It can also be directly summoned from the Steel Ark.
    • It possesses 2 weapons that it can freely switch between: the Strider's missiles, and the Levitron's "Magnetize" ability.
    • It has a boosted jump that enables it to leap high and far with the assistance of jets.
    • Bring a Levitron and a Strider close together to combine them. After combining, the pilot of the Levitron becomes the pilot of the Armamech. It can also be separated at any time.

Brand New Environments

  • Steel Ark:
    • A giant space battleship that will land on the map at the start of a match. You can enter it and explore inside. The core of the Steel Ark is a platform where you can summon the Armamech from the skies! You can launch yourself into the air in this mecha for everyone to see.
    • The ark consists of many areas. You can find all kinds of supplies and Supply Crates at the Command Post, Dormitory, Warehouse, and more.
    • From the landing pad, you can board an evacuation Wingman, which will take you straight to the Playzone!
    • You can use elevators and ziplines in the ark to get around.
    • Steel Ark Air Drop: A Steel Ark loaded with supplies will fly around during the match and drop supplies consisting of an Air Drop Crate and several Supply Crates at specific drop points.
  • Assembly Base:
    • The Assembly Base contains a Mecha Repair Station. Approach it in a mecha to replenish the mecha's health, fuel, and missiles.
    • On the top floor of the Assembly Base, there is a detector that can determine the location of crates within the Assembly Base. An Access Card can be found in one of the crates, which can be used to open the door to the Secret Room and get loads of supplies.

New Items

  • Jetpack: Pick it up and equip it to increase movement speed. It possesses the ability to hover in the air for a short duration. It consumes Energy rapidly when lifting off. Energy will only be replenished when you reach the ground. The Jetpack has a Health bar that protects you from damage to your back and arms. It will be destroyed after taking a certain amount of damage. When reaching a certain speed while moving forward, it can switch to a speed form. You will perform a special action when you tap "Lift Off" as it switches to the speed form. The Jetpack comes with the "Magnetize" ability, but you will not be able to fly fast when using it.
  • Personal AED: If you have this item, you can tap self-rescue after being knocked down. Once successful, you will recover from the knocked down state. Each player can only carry one of these items. Self-rescuing will be interrupted if you move while using this item.
  • Magnet Gun: This is a downgraded version of the Levitron's "Magnetize" ability in gun form. Switch to it by tapping on the firearm bar. It works the same as the Levitron's "Magnetize", but with reduced values.
  • Respawn Beacon: Throw the beacon on the ground to mark a location that the plane will pass over. Recalled teammates can parachute into the match again at the cost of a respawn chance. Teammates who have used up all their respawn chances cannot respawn.
  • Quick Parachute: When parachuting, a quick parachute button will appear at a certain height in the air. Tap it to immediately deploy the parachute which can also be freely put away.
  • Repair Station: Approach the Repair Station in a mecha to replenish its health, fuel, and missiles.

2024.05.14 12:32 Equivalent-League427 Cat threw up blood two days ago, now threw up a scab?

Please note: he went to the vet immediately after he threw up blood with no conclusive diagnosis or issues found. I will call the vet today when they open to see about the scab. I'm hoping to ease my mind until then.
• Species: Cat
• Age: almost 3 years
• Sex Neuter status: Neutered
• Breed: DSH
• Body weight: 11.9 lbs
• History: Vomits his food up twice a month on average. No patterns that we can see that link to a specific flavor. He eats a combo of dry food and Fancy Feast pate everyday.
• Clinical signs: No symptoms at all besides the vomiting. No lethargy, lack of appetite, etc.
• Duration: 2 days
• Your general location: Florida, USA
Cat threw up food and small hair ball 5 hours after his meals on 5/12 (pic below). Blood was found in the second "round" of vomit, but was not seen in the first or third (it was a lot of vomit). He went to the vet immediately where they did x-rays, fluids, and a shot to help with vomiting. Vet said x-rays looked normal but still awaiting reviews from consult. He made it through all day 5/13 eating and drinking, using the bathroom, and acting normally without vomiting. They prescribed him a probiotic powder, metronidazole, and famotidine which I gave him with food. This morning, 5/14, he threw up 15 minutes after eating his wet food and I noticed a small scab-looking thing inside the vomit. Pics below.
Assuming this isn't a serious blockage or injury (since the vet said 24 hours without vomiting was a good sign and x-rays seemed okay), what could this be? Again, hoping to ease my mind until the vet opens. TIA!

2024.05.14 12:27 Flamewakerr To EA and whom it may concern, sincerely, from one of us

Hey everyone, amidst the thousands of rants, in light of Nick's movement, I think it's time for me to say something, maybe no one cares, I don't have a major platform to get my word out, but I still think that it's good to get these things out here and perhaps the best thing all of this can do is change the way we perceive the game as a player base. This will be long, so those of you willing to, bear with me.
Let me tell you something from a point of view of someone who loved the game for a long time. We're a bunch of very versatile people from all over the place and maybe it can also teach us a lesson or two. On one hand, you have kids who play it for the same reason I played it some good 15 years ago, and you've got us, the older players, who loved the game for what it was growing up because it was the best football themed game out there in many aspects, although FIFA entries weren't the only good thing about that era (shoutout to PES 2006 and 2010). It's a game that I used to enjoy because I love football as a sport, I used to play it basically on a professional level, this is the best "active" form for me to engage with the game. I'm probably too stupid for Football Manager though I believe it's only a matter of watchin a few videos to get into it and understand the in-depth mechanics. I always tried playing it and got lost in the menus within 5 minutes. But for what it's worth, I understood FIFA, I understood FUT and the shell of what it once was, the grind was fun to me, using players from past and present that I like, well, until it all got burned to the fucking ground within a year. I was never an Elite div or Rank 1 or even Rank 2 player. But I had certain results, I would get 9 to 11 wins most of the time and with enough free time I could always climb to atleast div 2 in Rivals. Sure, many of you are better and I realize that, but it's not about that. To me it was always about getting better at the game for myself, on my own terms, there would be some progression to it and getting better throughout the years always made me happy. Adult life is adult life and it's very individual, some of us have more free time on our hands, others don't. In my case, I barely have time to do my daily play matches, some SBCs and play Champs on the weekend because of work.
But the question is - how can I consistently enjoy the game if:
The whole situation is very stupid, because there is no viable alternative in terms of football games, and frankly, playing FIFA is a habit and something I've been doing for one half of my life. It's tough for me to get invested into an online competitive game, though I used to play League, Overwatch, stuff like that, but those games became shit over the years as well. That's why, though I'm only one of way too many, from my point of view, my actions bear some value, because as of today, I just don't want to feel like shit because of a game anymore atleast on a weekly basis. As things stand, dumping my time into this game is simply pointless. If I want to play Weekend League, I'll get shat on by the servers, or the gameplay will be horrendous and my cards will feel like freezers getting dragged across the pitch by a rope. Cards with great finishing, will feel like bronze cards, whatever. We're not supposed to get good rewards, and the game will call us out for being "bad" when we get DDAd. At this point, there is nothing positive about it. I will perhaps return for Futties, not that anyone cares, but building fun cards is kinda fun and good, so I'm looking forward to that. Otherwise, I will return only if all of this actually changes something. If the assholes from EA release a statement and actually change something, then I will return earlier, and even then, I'm not giving them a single euro this year. And maybe, for the first time in way too many years, I won't even preorder, maybe I'll play it later on, if it turns out to be better and different. Other than that... there's no point playing if the game is like this. I'm done with feeling negative emotions because of a game designed to gaslight and manipulate us into feeling like shit.
Sorry for the long post, I guess I just felt like I needed to tell someone.

2024.05.14 12:26 StringLong4863 Need help with alterations

Need help with alterations
Hi fellow brides - I feel like I'm being gaslit by the salespeople who sold me the dress so coming here for expert opinions and a different perspective. I had my first fitting and looking at the pics I hated it.
Pics: 1. Dress made to measure at the first fitting 2. Comparison between the made to measure dress (left) and the sample tried on in January (right) 3. The dress on a mannequin from the producer (colour is different but the model is the same)
So, I tried the sample of this dress on in January and I didn't feel great in it because I felt like it made my waist bigger as compared to a 'dream dress' that this was the replacement of, but the salespeople told me the sample I tried on was just not my size and everything would be perfect on once my size came in.
Fast forward to the first fitting, the waist seems even bigger, the sleeves are too low and so are the cups. Overall it just looks like the upper part was shortened. My weight and measurements have remained the same.
When I expressed my concerns they said they would do some optical tweaks like taking some lace from the back to add it at the vertix of the skirt, moving the cups higher (although I don't think this will help with the shoulders being too low and leaving all that extra space at the top) and adding a belt on the waist to make it look smaller (also something I am not into). They don't want to move the skirt to make it lower.
What alterations do I need to ask about? Realistically, what can be done? They refuse to do the alterations up until 2 weeks before the wedding, which puts me in a very uncomfortable position if I need a plan B.
English is not my first language so apologies for any mistakes.

2024.05.14 12:22 Adventurous-Log3521 TW: When/Should I (21F) tell my BF (21M) about my past...?

TW: Self-harm
Don't know how to add a NSFW tag as I'm on mobile, sorry. Not entirely sure if this fits this sub's rules, I figured it's fine because it's a past mental health issue and the advice isn't about the mental health issue itself. I apologize if this does break the rules.
I don't want to go into much detail but I used to SH a lot as a kid/teen. I never considered it to be a big deal and when I eventually got into therapy for different reasons, my therapist remarked that my relationship with SH is quite unique (whatever that means).
I stopped about five or more years ago and had very few relapses so I consider this part of my life to be in the past. The reason I stopped is because it annoyed me that everyone always made a big deal out of it, kind of a silly reason, I know.
The scars are barely visible except for a few although my friends say those are only noticable to me.
Now onto the issue at hand:
My BF and I have been together for almost a full year by now (10 months) and everything has been picture perfect. It's the first romantic relationship for the both of us.
He was looking through pictures on my phone trying to find some old embarrassing drawings I made that I had confessed to minutes prior. Just to clarify, he has full access to my phone and I have full access to his. Despite that, we've never really thoroughly checked each other's phones because there's never been a reason to do so. He wanted to tease me, that's why he was looking for those drawings.
He found some pictures of SH. Not mine, but I have these pics saved because they help me when I get the urge and they're decently hard to find. It's the best way to cope with this that I've found so far.
He immediately got very concerned and started checking my arms while asking if those pictures are of me. He somehow didn't see my scars. I said no, those pics aren't my arms (true) and then said I got them from people being edgy in group chats (halfway true). He didn't ask me if I still SH or if I did so in the past, thankfully, he just dropped it and the mood was kind of ruined.
I asked my friends who know and they say I should tell him but also that I don't owe this information to anyone. My problem is I know he's gonna make a big deal out of this and I quite honestly don't wanna deal with that. I also don't want to be the cause of the emotional hurt this is gonna cause him. But on the other hand, I value honesty. Hiding this from him and "lying by omission" is making me feel like shit.
One of my friends said I should wait until I feel ready but this is terrible advice as I have no problem talking about it, I just don't want to deal with the dramatic reactions. And the longer I wait to tell him the worse I feel because by hiding this for so long I'm the one making it a big deal.
I feel very confused about all of this so maybe this doesn't make sense, sorry.
Tldr: I used to SH. BF doesn't know and I don't want to tell him because I don't want to deal with a dramatic reaction to something that I consider to be no big deal. Should I tell him anyway?

2024.05.14 12:20 VinceyMoon AITA/Advice?! I feel awful for thinking of applying for DA visa after splitting with my narcissistic husband

Hello you lovely Spuds!
I'm an American expat living in England with my husband and our child (F7). My husband and I have been together for 8 years, our daughter was a happy accident but it took me at least 6 years to see my husband was the one I should not have kept.
For background: he is an alocholic since day 1, he made me thank him profusely for deciding to stay for the baby because he just wants to live his own life as a bohemian artist, he made us late for our own baby shower because he screamed at me and threw food at me for 2 hours in a parking lot because I bought him some Mcdonalds breakfast due to him being newly wasted at 9am, he proposed to me because his dad was visiting and wanted him to be proud of him - and when he saw his dad was drunk and missed it he got so angry and made us all go home - and then forgot he even proposed, (for the record, I didn't say yes because his friends were pouring beer on us and I wasn't sure I wanted to marry him but he told everyone I said yes and I wasn't capable of standing up for myself at the time). The day of our wedding I wore black and watched a zombie film in the bath haha that's not part of the story just something I'll always remember as symbolic. Of course he was wasted for our family meal reception and kept trying to dry hump his male friend which was weird, but ok. Then ruined seeing Phantom of the Opera for our honeymoon and then admitted to sleeping with his ex when I was newly pregnant (that he repeatedly told me I was crazy for thinking he'd sleep with that 'expletive expletive'). It gets a lot worse for about 3 years while we were in separate countries and waiting on a visa for me as our daughter and I visited a few times for a few months. Lots of binged weekends where he would be gone for days doing various illicit substances and lots of alcohol.
Fast forward to about a year ago and we al live together in England, still having binge days and sometimes things were good and sometimes not so good. the final straw was last March when I had mentioned I might go to a mums-night-out as I didn't feel like I had many friends at the time in England, and he said "I can deal with you being a shit wife but I can't deal with you being a shit mother" because my daughter didn't want me to be gone. Later he told me he only said it to hurt me. The moment he said that to me was the moment everything I was holding onto just died. I'm a massive planner and decided to learn what I actually want out of my life and how to make my own choices and have significantly leveled up since then, I made a 110 page life plan that broke down my life into 13 categories - I was serious about change. I watched "how to talk to narcisstist" videos and stopped allowing him to talk down to me and drive conversations in circles. It was last March when I made this shift and I've just managed to move out last weekend! In that year, he broke my fridge, ruined my bed because he doesn't shower, and shattered my oven glass door because "I made him angry by telling my friends about the situation and making him look bad." He never bought anything because he doesn't work, and the money he does get from his art doesn't go into the family or home. Oh also, I'm his second marriage as he has a case in the states against him for DV but said he only hit her back "in self defence" and he is a wonderful storyteller, clearly. I know, I'm an idiot.
ALL THAT BEING SAID, my visa relies on being married to him and I now have to urgently choose to pay £5k to apply as a parent to my English daughter and will be restarting the whole 5 year visa process which will end in over £10k -or- I could apply for the Domestic Abuse visa which in the long run is waaaaay better for me and my daughter but he would know I did that and would be so angry as he's told me off for "playing the victim" when I reported him to the police and social workers needed to get involved. Since this new year we've had a mostly good relationship as we live completely separate lives and have agreements where our daughter is involved. I feel awful because his parents have helped me so much throughout the visa process and with getting my English license and a car, and until last week I lived in a granny annexe in his mothers back garden with him. I feel like if I apply for DA then its like a slap in the face to his family for everything they've done for me and could potentially isolate myself and my daughter from family in the UK. They know about his character but choose not to acknowledge it and think we just need work things out. I also feel like as it wasn't physical abuse that I am sort of "playing the victim" and shouldn't deserve to apply for it. I don't want to bring my daughter back home to the states as I'm very happy with the safety and quality of life here for her compared to where I'm from, also I'm not even sure if I could as I'd be then taking her away from her dad and english family and friends.
Am I the asshole for wanting to make this massive decision that would then legally label him as an abuser (in the UK) as it would be the most beneficial route for me and my daughter?
Lastly- I am receiving professional support and not relying on internet crowdsourcing support, I'm just so stressed and nervous and there are massive time gaps with the professional support where I 120% overthink these things!!!

2024.05.14 12:08 everdelight reading spots around the city (aside from cafés).

reading spots around the city (aside from cafés).
Sharing my experience lang!
** CO-WORKING SPACES: this is my go-to reading spot because silence is observed, unli wifi, unli drinks and coffee, may charging ports, pwedeng mag-dala ng food and drinks, pwedeng maki-gamit ng ref and oven. Very accessible din via commute (although some have limited parking). Also, bukas din sila ng after office hours which is pabor saken kasi minsan very late night to madaling araw ko gusto mag-basa.
1st pic: Mindzone in Espana Blvd, Manila
** LIBRARIES: same as above, silence is observed in these places although food and drinks are not allowed inside (i forgot if you can bring water or not, sorry). May wifi din and charging ports.
2nd pic: Quezon City Public Library - free entrance. may few fiction books din. As far as i remember, may fee na if mag-charge ka ng gadgets. Easily accessible via commute din, katabi lang sya ng QC hall.
3rd pic: National Library of the Philippines - free entrance although you can avail of the physical ID for 100 pesos. Pic taken was the 2nd floor of the library which was rarely open since pinupuno muna nila ung first floor. In my experience, di maiiwasan ung mga nagu-usap usap sa paligid so medyo distracting.
4th pic: Filipinas Heritage Library in Ayala Museum, Makati. With 300 pesos entrance fee for the whole day na yun (ewan ko lang kung may promo sila ngayon) but closed ung library from 12nn-1pm so you have to go out by that time (pwede kang mamasyal ng museum or greenbelt for the meantime tas balik ka na pag 1pm na). Lamig sa loob and daming selection of FIlipino history and literature books!
Soon to try: (Valenzuela Public Library)
** Another option you can opt to are PUBLIC PARKS. Nung hindi pa 40 degrees+ temperature, I read in public parks because daming comfy spots sa loob or ginagawa ko ung reading after my jogging/walking. Also, minsan gusto ko surrounded by nature habang nagba-basa. Hanap na lang ng bench or spot na may shade ng puno para di masyado ramdam yung init. But of course, public parks are not made solely for reading so most of the time HINDI tahimik ung lugar haha. No entrance din! I suggest wearing sunscreen and bringing water, mini-fan, and food.
Luneta Park 5th pic: Cafe inside Luneta 6th-8th pic: spots sa ilalim ng puno
9th pic: Arroceros Forest Park 10th pic: Ayala triangle 11th pic: Quezon City Circle 12th pic: Paco park
(Not in the pictures) Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center - with 30 php entrance fee
You can also try the following places pero di ko pa na-try mag-basa dito: - UP Sunken Garden - Legazpi Active Park and Washington SyCip Park - Fort Santiago
That’s it for now. You can try checking each place’s website for more info.
I hope this helps even just one reader out there. :)

2024.05.14 12:03 StringLong4863 Wedding dress alterations - not sure what is feasible

Wedding dress alterations - not sure what is feasible
I feel like I'm being gaslit by the salespeople who sold me the dress so coming here for expert opinions and a different perspective. I had my first fitting and looking at the pics I hated it.
Pics: 1. Dress made to measure at the first fitting 2. Comparison between the made to measure dress (left) and the sample tried on in January (right) 3. The dress on a mannequin from the producer (colour is different but the model is the same)
So, I tried the sample of this dress on in January and I didn't feel great in it because I felt like it made my waist bigger as compared to a 'dream dress' that this was the replacement of, but the salespeople told me the sample I tried on was just not my size and everything would be perfect on once my size came in.
Fast forward to the first fitting, the waist seems even bigger, the sleeves are too low and so are the cups. Overall it just looks like the upper part was shortened. My weight and measurements have remained the same.
When I expressed my concerns they said they would do some optical tweaks like taking some lace from the back to add it at the vertix of the skirt, moving the cups higher (although I don't think this will help with the shoulders being too low and leaving all thay extra space at the top) and adding a belt on the waist to make it look smaller (also something I am not into). They don't want to move the skirt to make it lower.
What alterations do I need to ask about? Realistically, what can be done? They refuse to do the alterations up until 2 weeks before the wedding, which puts me in a very uncomfortable position if I need a plan B.
English is not my first language so apologies for any mistakes.l

2024.05.14 11:53 Imaginary-Program292 HELP FINDING A FIC

So I remember reading this fanfic YEARS ago. It was a PJO and HP crossover. Basically, Hecate made it so Percy and Harry and dreams of each other, from TLT/TSS all the way until DH/BoO. Harry was in Slytherin and the Golden Trio was Harry/Hermione/Draco and Ron was the Draco if this story. I think it was called Harry Potter and the Son of Poseidon (but there are SO MANY pics with that name). It also had a sequel called the Guardian of Hogwarts (basically Percy was told to come back to Hogwarts years later to pretend to be a first year where he meets Harry who's been hiding for years protecting Hogwarts). If anyone can help me find it, it would be great.

2024.05.14 11:17 EndersGame_Reviewer Thoughts on The Truman Show (1998) directed by Peter Weir

After watching a good and thoughtful film, I enjoy doing some reading, thinking, and writing about it. The 1998 film The Truman Show (directed by Peter Weir) is the kind of film that I found myself watching twice in succession, and I've watched it several times since, because it is so intriguing. But is it a spiritual allegory, or is it just a good story, or perhaps something else?
This movie narrates the life of Truman Banks (Jim Carrey), who is unaware that his entire life on the island of Seahaven is completely constructed by a TV crew, and is part of a constantly running reality television program called The Truman Show, watched by millions 24/7 world-wide. But when Truman comes to realize that something is strange about his world, he makes plans to escape his artificially manipulated universe.
The premise is a clever one, and the film succeeds on the level of story alone. But what's particularly of interest to me are the profound philosophical and religious questions that the movie seems to ask. It raises age-old philosophical questions common in the field of epistemology, concerning what we can know about reality e.g. could I be deceived about what my senses and experiences are telling me about reality? But it also appears to explore many deep religious questions by means of allusions to Christian themes. Consider how the TV producer Christof (= Christ of) is the "creator" of Truman (= True Man), and functions as a god who controls his world.
This symbolism seems too strong to ignore. As a result there is considerable debate about the worldview behind the film, and whether it is intended to portray an atheistic or Christian worldview. I've found that reviewers who pick up on the Christian symbolism typically fall into one of two camps which come to opposite conclusions about the point of the film:
  1. Those who see it as a secular film, by portraying the Christian God as a cruel and harsh dictator who operates a deterministic universe from which we need to escape by rejecting God. According to this view, Truman's liberation is a depiction of the Fall, and promotes an atheistic lifestyle of rebellion against the Creator and an escape from Eden. Others have tried to be more charitable by interpreting it in line with Calvinistic theology, suggesting that the film depicts the tragedy rather than the triumph of sin, but this is implausible in view of how the Creator is portrayed negatively and how the final liberation is presented so positively.
  2. Those who see it as a criticism of secularism, by suggesting that Satan creates an artificial world for us, from which we need to escape by converting to the truth. According to this view, Truman's liberation promotes the need to escape the deception of Satan (the anti-Christ), and exchange it for a life lived in service to the true God. Some have even seen it as giving a positive message about Christianity, for if Seahaven represents an illusionary man-made Paradise, then Truman's decision to leave this old world behind is symbolic of a conversion experience, and he represents a Christ-like figure who models the way of salvation.
The first view interprets The Truman Show as a story of the Fall, where Christoff symbolizes the true God, and Sylvia (who encourages Truman to escape his "world") is a serpent-tempter figure that brings rebellion. The second view interprets The Truman Show as a story of Redemption, where Christoff symbolizes an anti-Christ, and Sylvia is an intercessor that brings freedom in contrast to the Judas figure Marlon. Proponents of both views have engaged in considerable debate over these two interpretations, the former which sees the Truman Show as a secular existentialist film, the latter which sees it as a pro-Christian film.
Certainly the rich symbolism in the film lends itself to an interpretation which gives the Christological imagery throughout the film a more important meaning than mere allusion. But neither of the above explanations is entirely satisfactory or consistent. Because how can Truman be a rebel who rejects God, and at the same time a Christ-like figure (he is depicted as crucified in the boat, and at the end walks on water and ascends into a stairway of heaven)? And how can Christoff be representative of a deterministic creator, and at the same time an anti-Christ? A consistent allegorical interpretation fails in its application, and should already be a hint that one is not intended.
Personally I think that the best solution is one which is neither overly critical nor overly charitable with respect to the Biblical imagery. Instead it is better to see the imagery as subordinate to other themes about the media and television.
Director Peter Weir has gone on record in more than one interview that the film is about television. Weir is of this conviction: "My attitude to television, personally, is too much of it is a bad thing." According to Weir: "And that's really at the heart of what the film looks at in a major way - this disturbance to our perception of reality, as a result of the immense entertainment and actuality coming at us, to the point where you can't differentiate anymore. News programs that are entertaining; video everywhere." Given Weir's remarks, I believe that the Truman Show is essentially a sharp criticism of the dangers of a false reality cultivated by the media, and a warning against losing our sense of reality.
Clearly Weir has chosen to portray the director Christoff as a creator figure very deliberately. But he does not use this image to push a religious agenda, but to give a social commentary about problems created by the modern media, which blurs the lines between appearance and reality.
In that regard, his analysis of television speaks to our time: to what extent is our perception of the world the result of manipulation by the media? And do we need to be liberated from the artificial reality of a TV world and return to the real world? I see this explanation as more plausible than one which sees the film as a simple spiritual allegory, or which interprets it as an indictment on reality television. It's also worth noting that the release of the movie predates much of the contemporary fascination with reality TV shows.
In short, I don't think the Truman Show is defending an atheist worldview or a Christian one. Instead it is merely employing Biblical themes and allusions as servants to its real theme and social commentary about the media and television. It has to be conceded that both Christoff's and Truman's characters have clear Christological symbolism. But the film is ambiguous about which of the two is to be identified as the Christ figure simply because it doesn't want us making a choice between them. Although the religious symbolism is too strong to ignore, in the end it is subordinate to the more central theme about the role of television and media in our culture, and is a means to an end rather than an end in itself.
So in my view, it's a mistake to see the film either as an attack on Christianity, or as a tool for Christian evangelism. That's not to say that the film doesn't raise interesting parallels on a religious levels, because it can spark interesting discussions about how a creator might watch over humanity, or how a Satan figure might deceive.
Ironically, the Truman Show has created its own deception: while appearances suggest it is a spiritual allegory, a closer look reveals that this perception is merely an illusion. It's first and foremost just a good story. But at the same time it is using spiritual imagery to raise important questions about the use of TV and the media.

2024.05.14 11:16 floofypandy 32/M (EU), looking for friends to chat with

I'm looking for friends to chat with on the daily. I work in tech, and apart from spontaneous trips to the outside world, I am behind my desk a lot so I am very available on discord. If I'm not working, gaming, watching shows or being at the gym, you might find me at a local coffee place, as I am a bit of a coffee snob. I am open minded, alcohol and drug "friendly" and won't judge you for that. If you show an interest in any of my hobbies (find out what they are) I won't shut up and talk to you about it for days. I'm looking for someone that's 25 or older and somewhat active on discord to keep me company during the day. Huge bonus if you're a gamer, have a cat, or watch a shit ton of shows. I'm sure we'd find something to play or watch. Pet pics are more than welcome.. Most of our interactions would be through text, but I'm willing to vc as well once we get to know each other.
I'd appreciate someone that is willing to pour the same amount of energy into forming one as I am. In some of my previous experiences I didn't feel that balance, mutual efforts should be made so please no dry chats.

2024.05.14 10:56 HaroldHGull The job begins

Your ships finally arrive at the meeting place, Sitnalta Freeport. The Freeport is a major trade centre well known for being an anonymous place of business due to the abnormal amounts of heavy metals in the surrounding nebula which blocks IFFs. Whilst IFFs are useless the station is more than well defended enough to deter potential attackers as well as the amount of enemies anyone would make from trying to harm their favourite place of business. There is one rule on the station, don't rock the boat. Although officially being controlled by independent interests it is well known that Trion Incorporated holds the largest amount of shares in the station. When you dock Trion's influence is obvious, most of the station's security being made up of personnel from the mercenary branch of Trion Security as well as a number of simple mk1 and mk2 combat droids in standby mode all on display to demonstrate what happens to those who "rock the boat". The coordinates of the meeting place lead you to a private docking bay on the lower levels of the station, where most of the dregs of the station go as to not impede its public image. The moment you enter the private docks multiple turrets and guns are aimed at you. A hooded individual, bearing the symbol of Faction Paradox, greets you with the same modulated voice as the person in the message.
"Apologies for the paranoia, when you're going after the company's dirtiest of dirty secrets a little bit of caution is warranted. Right, now that everyone's here we can begin."
They slot a datachip into a cheap holographic projector and the image of the person who originally made the briefcase is shown
"You already know my name, and if you are listening to this message I am already dead. I've already given my sorry speech so I'll get to the point. There is a reason why the datavault is so difficult to access, why no traceback routines work, the datavault doesn't exist. Well, not really, the datavault exists in a state of quantum flux, simultaneously existing and not existing. This means that it cannot be tracked by any normal means, I have found a way around this. When I first accessed the datavault I installed a piece of code onto the database, completely benign until it comes into contact with the second part, once it does it will create a constant stream of data between the datavault and reality causing it to become "anchored". In order to install it properly you will need access to a datavault interface and slot in the stored datachip, a slight issue considering that only high ranking members of Trion Incorporated are given access to them. Once the datavault is anchored you will have a short window of opportunity to reach and infiltrate it before Trion realises anything is wrong and removes the anchor code. I wish you luck in your endeavours."
The figure removes the datachip.
"There are two locations that can be easily accessed by the public which contain a datavault interface. The Kerris interface and the SS Ultra Lux. Since Kerris has been compromised by the daleks and I don't want to risk giving them access to the datavault we will have to go for the Ultra Lux. Tomorrow, the Ultra Lux will be passing by the station to pick up guests for its latest business party, I have already forged invitations for each of you as well as a copy of the code for eveyrone. Once you're on the ship your job will be to find your way to the interface, either in the captain's quarters or on the bridge. Do try to be carefull, some of the wealthiest and most influential scum of the galaxy will be there and security will be tight, all out assault will be nigh imposible."
They give a pointed look at the pathers.
"Payment for the job is 500k credits per head, if you die it will be sent to your next of kin, if you don't have a next of kin that's one less person I need to pay. More details will be discussed once the location is established, any questions?"
As she says this most of the mercenaries scatter and start taking stock of weapons.
