2024.05.14 18:45 RollerScroller8 Which manifestation approach do you prefer between The Art of Allowing (more passive) & The Science of Deliberate Creation (more active)?
Generally speaking, Abraham, in the earlier days, would talk about the science of deliberation creation; to actively affirm, visualize and think about what you want. More recently, Abraham talks more of the art of allowing; letting go and let it be, flowing downstream and letting the stream take you to your desires.
For clarification, in a YT video I found, Abraham said that although these two approaches may seem contradictory, they are in fact not. I can't find the video anymore (and if anyone reading this has it, please link it), so I'll paraphrase: Abraham says that the reason these two methods are not contradictory, is because in essence, you don't need to think the thought for Source to know what you want, so if you feel good and are in alignment, you will get what you want. But if you know what satisfaction feels like and you can think about what you want and feel good, then think and affirm all you want, not because it will help Source make it happen, but because it is fun! So no one method is better than the other, it's just a matter of preference.
So out of those two approached, which do you prefer, and why? Personally I'm much more in the Art of Allowing camp. I enjoy spending my time letting go of resistance and staying in alignment, and just letting my life unfold in perfect timing :)

2024.05.14 18:45 Kebriniac So really no reason to install the "next gen" update?
Hello,
Knowing Bethesda and anticipating the "update", well I disabled them and only launched Steam offline for good measure, my game is lightly modded but perfectly stable and tailored to my liking but I'm wondering if this update is really as bad as everybody say it is?

2024.05.14 18:44 W1nterRoad Our gatekeeper broke up with my boyfriend without asking me
I've recently got out from dormancy I think it's called. I was locked away for years and everything's changed so much. We live in a different place we're adults now and my boyfriend is nowhere to be seen. I know now that we broke up almost 9 years ago but to me it feels like I was just with him... And I'm angry at our system for not even asking me if I wanted to break up. My whole purpose was to be with him. That's all I ever did. But our gatekeeper just decided that we shouldn't be with him anymore and locked me up so I wouldn't go back to him. But now I feel so lost and it hurts so much that I can't be with him anymore. The other parts keep saying he wasn't a good person and that he was abusive but I didn't feel that way and I was the one who was with him the most... Even our therapist said it's definitely for the best that were not with him anymore. But I still love him so much. I was so excited to finally get out and be with him again. We even planned our future together. I know I was just a kid then and he was already an adult but I didn't care and I still don't care. I can't even remember his name anymore cause our gatekeepers are afraid I'll go back to him if I could. I'm just so mad and sad and confused about everything. I don't know what to do without him... -š

2024.05.14 18:44 DarkAmbivertQueen How's everyone's dating/friends life?
Currently I'm going through a divorce and I prefer to more alone nowadays. I've found myself more on the Introverted side of me and it's more peaceful. My therapist says it's my way of defending myself against the outside "evil". I thought that was funny because it makes sense. My relationship was shitty and one sided and I haven't had the best with people. I'm always being used and abused when I go out my way for others. But eventually I would like to have someone to connect with and vibe with. I still love to go outside and travel but I would prefer it be with someone I care about. Friends are minimal for me because of my relationships being built on years and trust. So the amount is small and many don't travel lol.... I want to either meet someone or a good travel friend to spend my days with. How do you guys do it? Meeting friends and possible relationships?

2024.05.14 18:44 Separate-Gap-9648 This is a sonnet I wrote, I wanna know if anyone has any tips on the Shakespearean side of them, many thanks:]
For a special guy As we heard the blue ocean waves crashing, All I could think was how much I love him. When heās there my mind is always flashing, We could lay alone in lights that are dim.
The long walks we could take under the trees, We donāt need to be alone anymore. Maybe he will agree if I say please? For him my heart will be an open door.
My love for him will forever be strong, Iāll love him so much he wonāt know it. I just know this is where I do belong, Me and him both know we are a good fit.
Iām so glad he is part of my chapter, Hope weāll live happily ever after.

2024.05.14 18:43 just_a_pancake_11 [DN chap 109] Wish we knew more about C-Kira + Near rant
I just finished reading the 2008 one-shot (also known as chapter 109 of the manga). Is not bad, we get to see Matsuda being as carefree as always and bickering with his new co-worker. We also see more Near characterization and get to know how was his relationship and interactions with L (they were distant, which is on character). It's nice to know the L part got adapted in the Successors Anime Movie too.
I just feel like the story ends up... abruptly, unlike the A-Kira story from years later that had a reasonable length for a one-shot.
Something I like a lot about DN is that each Kira is unique in what they desire and achieve with the notebook: Light wants a peaceful world through his enforcement of good and evil, Misa puts her life in danger to meet the first Kira out of gratitude, Higuchi uses it for wealth and power, Minoru puts a clever act to benefit from the death note while also getting rid of it.
Granting death to those who are old it's a whole new discussion we never saw in the main series which mainly focused in punishment. It also has implications nationwide as the targets are all japanese, but that's it. We don't really get to know a single bit about C-Kira's motivations. We don't know if it stems from a personal experience, from a sense of nationalism, a despise for the elderly, etc. Some people read them as a Kira wannabe, but again, there's no indication of that. The only thing for sure is that C-Kira is into cute figurines and could be an otaku.
I get that the story itself is more focused on Near embracing his desire to do what he enjoys most as opposed to what's right, but I feel like introducing a Death Note case for that feels unnecessary (though I also know the manga is named Death Note for a reason). Since Near names them Cheap Kira, it could have been an opportunity for the Japanese police to catch them by themselves by following an obvious lead, but no, that didn't happen, and that's what I mean by the story ending abruptly too.
Also, don't you find Near said some really out of character lines?
Something that made him special is that Near never endorsed Kira in any way. For him, he was just a crazy murderer with a god complex, nothing more. By saying "Kira managed to do this for the world, but this one is not different from those who use it in self interest" he's implying there are "better killers" than others, which doesn't sound like a distinction some who found Kira to be foolish would make.
Besides, that misses the point, L would have still pursued Kira if he was equally cunning and intelligent but his ideals were more egoistical. Ideals are secondary and for understanding the thought process more than anything.
I get that Near finds that this Kira might not be worth it because his method of killing is uninspired, or if the nationwide scale vs worldwide scale doesn't appeal to him, and it should have been left like that, the other dialogue felt unnecessary

2024.05.14 18:43 bvh9df34890 AITA for splurging on my stepson?
I (37F) have 4 biological children (17F, 16M, 12M and 10M) and 4 stepchildren (15F, 13M, 11M and 8F) with my husband (38M).
Yesterday, for Motherās Day, I wanted to go to a baseball game. Iāve always been a sports fan, growing up, I was all into watching baseball, basketball, etc. I played volleyball in school. No one in my family liked sports and at school, I experienced either allegations of being a lesbian or only watching sports for the hot men, all of these allegations were by the girls in my middle and high school. I still was passionate about sports and even considered majoring in psychical education.
I mentioned this idea a few months back and my biological children all said they didnāt want to go, the only one who was interested was my stepson Axton (13M).
Axton is the jock of the family, like I was. He plays baseball and said he wanted to go with me. Axton is close to me, probably closer than he is to his dad or mom. Axton is a sweet kid, but is one of those kids who has a strong desire for autonomy. He goes to a Montessori school as he flourishes there compared to regular school, where the opposite is true for his siblings and step siblings. Heās always challenging authority, including mine. He can apologize when heās wrong, but if he believes he was unfairly grounded, heāll wear that grounding as a badge of honor for sticking up for what he believes in. He can be a real pain sometimes, but heās also very caring and a good boy at heart.
His biological mother tries to be more of an authority figure, which my husband and I always back her decisions, but it hasnāt worked for her and her relationship with Axton isnāt great. Axton is most open to me and heās told me he loves his mom, but she hasnāt earned his respect and tells me Iām the only parental figure that has. I see this in how he behaves to, Iām the disciplinarian when it comes to Axton because heās more likely to listen to me than his father.
A few days after I mentioned the idea, Axton said he was going to the game with me, even if that meant not spending Motherās Day with his biological mom. Luckily, his mom and stepdad agreed that they shouldnāt force him to do an event with her over going with me, as heād be happier with me.
Despite asking my kids multiple times, none wanted to come. My husband was working yesterday and my stepkids were with their mom, so it was just Axton and I.
It was a great day, Axton went with me to get a manicure, and even asked if he could have his fingernails done for the first time. We also shopped in some antique stores, and I told Axton he could get whatever he wanted. He ended up getting a few jerseys and buttons and reading cards. I also bought him stuff at the stadium.
When we got home, my kids and stepkids saw what Axton had got, they were jealous and asked why I would buy him so much and my 10 year old said he wouldāve gone if he knew he could get gifts out of me. My daughter asked if I made him get the manicure and said manicures werenāt for boys, and he said he got it ābecause I wanted to, it looked coolā.
After that, we had a discussion with her and discussed her homophobia, but she started to argue with us about Axton and how he always is ārebelliousā and she told us we should āpunish him harderā, when he does act up, we asked for specific examples but she gave none. Axton certainly does act up and gets grounded, but never does anything morally wrong like bigotry. We told her she wasnāt being constructive in her criticism and to knock it off. Theyāre all still mad at me about the splurging on Axton, saying this proves āfavoritismā, I asked for specific examples and my kids wouldnāt provide any, but said that we should āknow what they meanā. AITA?

2024.05.14 18:43 4ZRA31 22[M4F] #Sweden/Anywhere Let's give this another shot shall we?
Hello! I wanna say that i'm open to F and tF
I'm a (soon) 22 year old swedish guy. on the lookout for a relationship. i have been single for quite a while now. a long while acually. and it feels terrible i'm not gonna lie. i feel very lonely and giving/taking affection on a daily basis is something i miss alot.
so what more about me than the fact that i'm 21. I don't really look the part but i'm acually quite a nerd, i love fantasy and sci fi stuff. reading, writing, gaming. all of that are hobbies i like. I also recently picked up Warhammer 40k if you know what that is. i also exercise on a regular basis and i keep myself in good shape. that's also something i value in others, maybe not exercise to lose weight but keep your body healthy.
for looks i'm blonde with short hair. next to no facial hair since i think i look horrendous in it. green eyes, white skin. pretty tall standing at 6'0(i'm not adding anything like some guys do). i like to think i'm kind, respectful and try to help wherever and whenever i can. no matter how heavy or light the problem is.
I'm looking for someone who compliments or matches my personality. i tend to prefer older girls but i'm open to anything legal. location is not impirtant, if we click and wanna go beyond LDR when the time comes we fix that problem then.

2024.05.14 18:43 Yurii_S_Kh A Parish Priestās Conversation in the Cemetery on Radonitsa
| Before I came to the faith, I didnāt like going to the cemetery. Whatās more, the cemetery always reminded me of my mortality, and it made me sad. Since I didnāt see life as eternal, it seemed sad to live on earth. https://preview.redd.it/5iqk8wg87f0d1.png?width=700&format=png&auto=webp&s=ca4ed8cb5d2d2add69e831459d6614da6d532d23 What should I live for? In order to die? Itās all pointless. Willy-nilly you arrive at the idea of evolution here. Man appeared on earth as a result of positive mutations and eventually we began to have consciousness, conscience and reason. Sometimes you clutch your head, saying, āWhy did I become a human being? Who needed all these mutations if I will just be buried in the ground or turn into a pathetic handful of ashes?ā With such ideas, the old saying seemed justified: āTake everything from life before the worms eat you.ā The awareness of the fact that you are a mold from an eternal Image justifies your existence and gives it meaning. And the thought of your inevitable meeting with the Creator makes you take your life seriously. The purpose is revealed to you: He loves you, and you are a child of His love. And you think: āHow good!ā It was only after I came to the faith that the cemetery ceased to be an eerie place for me and turned into a ārepository of completed narratives.ā Our cemetery beyond the village in the heart of the forest is divided into the smaller, old one, which appeared in the seventeenth century, and the new and larger one. Do you know how our village cemetery differs from urban onesāapart from its size? I served the funeral for almost everyone who is buried in the new cemetery. I made the ālast entryā in the destiny of almost every person buried here. I pray for them and remember many of them. Besides, even before my ordination I had lived and worked with these people for many years. And I know that their life in eternity depends on my prayer in some way. Our bond with them was not severed by their demise. Spiritual care does not stop even beyond the grave. The Church year, with its memorial Ancestorsā Saturdays and especially the Paschal services, does not allow us to forget those who have already departed this life. And visiting peopleās graves on Radonitsa always is always a special, joyful event for me. I go to the cemetery as if to visit my friendsāthose whom I came to love during their earthly lives and with whom I prayed and restored the churchāmy brothers and sisters. One day I had a dream just before going to serve on Ancestorsā Saturday. It was as if I had died, my soul had flown away, and I could even see my own body from outside it. And I was so upset and sorry that I could not say goodbye to anyone, hug my children and kiss my wife. And my soul began to cry from anguish. Suddenly a thought flashed through my mind: āToday is Ancestorsā Saturday! How many people will come to church now, but there will be no service! Where will another priest come from?ā And my soul, accustomed to responsibility, immediately returned to my body. I woke up and was relieved that it had all just been a dream. But then I remembered forever how my soul had wept after leaving the body. From that day on I began to feel compassion for the deceased while performing the funeral over them. https://preview.redd.it/6n9w3htc7f0d1.png?width=766&format=png&auto=webp&s=865fb6725a4d697012e0c45be99ed41cee63ec40 I am greeted first by Alexei at the entrance to the new cemetery. I learned a lot from that man and in many ways, would like to be like him. He knew how to live and had a great desire to live. But for all his buoyancy, illness taught Alexei to be patient and to humble himself. He was dying for several years, but every time after the unction he got better and continued to come to church every Sunday and receive Communion. And he passed away on the feast of the Ascension of the Lord. The last thing Alexei said to meāand I managed to give him Communionāwas: āThank you, Father. Thanks for everything!ā Christ is Risen, Alexei! The well-groomed grave of the child Sashenka [a diminutive form of the name Alexander.āTrans.] is very close. He received Communion almost at every Sunday Liturgy. He drowned in Feodosia the day before he was supposed to start going to the first grade. His father Nikolai, a simple worker, could not save the child. After that, through hard labor he earned a sufficient sum of money for us to pay for the work of icon-painters. Three large icons of the Deesis in the St. Nicholas Chapel of our church are his sacrifice in memory of his son. One day, after his death, the boy came to his father in a dream and said: āPapa, Iāve been to many places, but I like St. Alexander Svirskyās monastery the most.ā Christ is Risen, dear child! Pray for us there. Irina. Irochka, I still canāt come to terms with the fact that youāve been here for six years already. You shouldnāt have died, especially at such a young age. You are our beauty! I will never forget itāafter I had given you Divine Unction and Communion, you took my hand in yours, already translucent from illness, and, kissing it, said: āNow Iām not afraid of anything. Thank you.ā I hope you were not offended that I almost forced your husband away from your grave. You know, I started to fear for him. The dead cling to the dead, and the living cling to the living, as it were. Christ is Risen, our joy! * * * Sophia, Iāll tell you honestly: no one bakes pancakes the way you baked them. Do you think Iām joking? No, in all seriousness. The schoolchildren who cleaned the church with us and then ate your pancakes with tea have already grown up. Now some of them have their own children, but every time they come, they recall how much they enjoyed your delicious pancakes! https://preview.redd.it/bki5kxkh7f0d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=61aec1e80b6e09ef4450f1558ea47353e17ba303 What hard times we had! Now we have both a refectory and a parish house (with two floors), but back then we didnāt have anything. I still wonder how you always managed to cope with everything. Christ is Risen, our wise woman! Praskovyushka [a diminutive form of the name Parasceva.āTrans.]! My angel who selflessly helped me in the altar. Today is Radonitsa and the eighth anniversary of your birth into eternity. You read by syllables, but you taught me so much! My friend, I am grateful to God that He brought me together with you. Pray for me, mother, so that someday I too can reach the measure of your simplicity and learn to hope and trust in God the way you did. Of course, you know that your youngest daughter gave up drinking and came to the church, that she prays and often takes Communion. Today she is almost never out of the church, as was the case with you. So, both your daughters are in the church. Your prayer does its job, and even after your death it does not lose its power. You cried your eyes out for your daughter. The time came, and she told me herself, āThatās it, Father, there thereās no turning back.ā What a wise woman you are! Praskovyushka, Christ is Risen! And here rests my old acquaintance, Vasily Ivanovich. In his old age a strange thing happened to him: he fell in love like a teenager. He started writing love poetry, but he was ashamed to reveal it to anyone. But he trusted me. He would come to the entrance of my house, sit down on a bench and wait for me to see him and come out. Then he would take out his notebook, and his āsonnetsā would start flowing. How many times I invited you to the church, my friend! You kept promising, but... never came. Christ is Risen, Vasily! Then the tombstones of rich people begin. There are three tombstones here, behind an imposing metal fence. Thatās right, itās a family of three people. Petrovich, an entrepreneur, a good man who drank. He didnāt give sufficient attention to his son who was hooked on drugs. No matter how much they tried to cure him it was all in vain. After the young manās death, Petrovichās wife took to drinking too, as if she had decided to die. They lived beside the church. Their house had once been built on church land. It was a big, beautiful āmansionā in which you could live for many years. One day Petrovich came to our church while I was racking my brains over the problem of where to find money for a new roof. I desperately needed to have our winter church reroofed. A piece broke off from the destroyed bell-tower and pierced the roof in several places. And we had just plastered the walls inside, putting so much effort into it. There was no one in the church except Petrovich and me. I went up to him and greeted him. I saw that he was having a very hard time. And who would be feeling otherwise after losing his only son? I addressed him: āPetrovich, do a good deed in memory of Kostya [a diminutive form of the name Konstantin.āTrans.]. Do you see how the roof was broken by bricks from the bell-tower? Help us redo it as long as there is no rain so far. Youāre a wealthy man, help me. I will also ask the parishionersāand we will do it all together. Iām afraid weāll ruin the plaster inside after the rain starts.ā Petrovich was silent for a little while. His face was so kind, he really was a nice chap. Then he said: āYou know, father, Iāve been thinking about how Iām going to live now, after my only sonās death. And Iāve decided that now I will live only for myself. So, please donāt take it amiss, but look for other sponsors.ā And indeed, Petrovich started to live for himself: he bought a new car, had a holiday abroad, and began to dress well. And then Petrovich disappearedāwe couldnāt find him for a whole week. One afternoon as I was walking to the church, a boy of about ten caught up with me: āFather, go and see what it is! I keep looking and I canāt figure it out.ā I went with him, and he brought me to the back of Petrovichās house, where there was a huge puddle. I looked where the boy was pointing and saw something like a swollen sugar bag floating in the puddle. But it didnāt seem to be a bagāit resembled a man. We called the police, and Petrovichās daughter-in-law pulled him out of the puddle. She said she saw a bullet hole in his forehead. But no one investigated it then. I performed the funeral for him in the courtyard of our church. And three months later his wife passed away. Their ābig mansionā stands empty. Christ is risen, Petrovich! Donāt think that I bear a grudge against you. After you refused, another man came and offered his helpāhe took the church reroofing on himself. This is how things work with Godāif not you, then someone else. You already know that. Poor Petrovich, nobody remembers you, but I donāt forget you. https://preview.redd.it/4cofc1xj7f0d1.png?width=700&format=png&auto=webp&s=9b38988d17339f1ee040045051c118eb8e9deac9 How many years have I served at the grave of a young motherās child on Radonitsa. She crossed a pedestrian crossing in Moscow when the traffic light was green. But a jeep suddenly appeared, knocking the child down. There must have been a tiny news report about you that day. As I understand it, the jeep driver was acquitted. But it doesnāt matter now whether he was acquitted or not. A momentary incident, but the motherās mental distress has not abated for four years, she is sick at heart, and she still wears black. How accustomed we are to these news reports: Someone has perished here, someone else has been killed in an explosion there, a plane crashed somewhere, etc. But all this means someoneās pain, tears, broken hearts, and orphaned children. Mother, Christ is risen, donāt cry and start praying for your girl. Help her, while you have some strength. There is a large marble slab with a portrait of a young man. Yuri worked at one of his fatherās gas stations. About ten years ago, some drug addicts murdered him at work at night. I remember his mother weeping in church. We have a custom: If people make a contribution to the church in memory of their reposed loved one, order an icon, buy a candle stand or something like that, then we add the name of the person in question into our list for permanent commemoration. I offered the same to Yuriās close ones. On hearing this, his mother stopped crying. She came up to me and said quietly: āFather, only donāt tell my husband. Iām afraid he wonāt understand you.ā It was only then that it dawned on me: If he left his son alone to work at the gas station at night without security, he really wouldnāt understand me. His family does not set foot in church anymore. Yuri, your closest ones betrayed you. But forgive them; You know, we donāt choose our parents. But Iām still wondering: How will they look into your eyes when you meet them in eternity? Nobody comes to your grave on Radonitsa, but I remember you, your placidness, and sometimes pray for you. But forget them all. Christ is Risen, Yuriāyou and I will rejoice together. At the exit I met one of our believers from Moscow, who had buried her mother right around Pascha a year before. āEarlier I couldnāt go to the cemeteryāI felt uneasy here. But now I can sit here next to my motherās grave, talk to her, and I feel so goodāI donāt want to go away,ā she said. And we, Galochka, donāt āgo awayā. It only seems to us that the departed are somewhere far away from us, but in reality they are close, in our hearts, in our memory and our prayers. After all, and of course, you know it yourself, love (if we have it) does not disappear, even after death.

2024.05.14 18:42 BigCharlie16 The secret in starting the ārightā conversation with the opposite camp
I came across this very good video, he is Israeli, he flew to US to speak to student protesters in Washington DC, he starting talking with this young American Jew Pro-Palestine protester, you will see the protest organizers tried to stop them from talkingā¦ then plot twist two older Palestinians pulled him aside and wanted to continue talking with him without the protesters interferring/ chanting loudly.
https://youtu.be/bngdpQOG3BM?si=TutfpzuienKmKy6l - Always stay calm. Dont raise your voice, dont raise your fistā¦if it gets a bit loud, try to calm down the situation. We are in the campus of a prestigious university, we can have a civil conversation without the need to raise our voice.
- Know your FACTS. And know the āfactsā of the opposite camp. Do your homework and try to debunk them at home with facts. He could have gone one up, by showing the facts on his phone. I have no idea what is a Cohen DNA.
- Talk coherently, one point at a time. It may surprise youā¦. some of their āunderstandingā may shock you. You might need some time to wrap your head around this reply. I bet he too is shocked and needs a moment to digust want new facts you saying. This young American Jew thought he was ethnically Polish.
- To dispel a myth, you need to peel it like an onion, layer by layer, exposing the misunderstanding / fallacyā¦its a bit like playing chessā¦ you are thinking 5 steps ahead, you are just guiding him and helping him reach the logical conclusion you want and have foreseen. Of course he thinks he reached his own conclusions himself, but you lead him there.
Example: A Christian that no longer believes in Jesus, they are no longer a Christian. A Muslim that rejects Muhammed they are no longer a Muslim. If a Jew doesnt believe in HaShem or Adonai, is he still a Jew ? Yes he is still a Jew, because Judaism is more than just religion. Judaism is an identity of an ancient civilization.
This American Jew thinks there are thousands and thousands of Palestinian Jews practising Judaism in Palestine. The Israeli is so shocked he doesnt know how to respond. What does a Palestinian Jew even mean ? (Now current). He brushed it off as that doesnt exist. He could have show demography of Palestine, how many āPalestinian Jewsā live in Palestine. This is where phone comes in handy.
- Be prepare to condemn your side for the things you disagree with. An Israeli criticizing Nethanyahu is common. A Palestinian criticizing Abu Mazen is common.
- Stop using buzzwords ā¦Genocide. Apartheid. Colonist. Ethic Cleansing. Terrorist. Baby killer. He didnt give many examples of the Palestinian side. It doesnt help the conversation. If it does pop up, start by agreeing on the definition, and go from there. To better relate to the opposite camp, say it but without using these buzzwords. Preventing us from understanding the complexities. Say Palestinians go through checkpoints.
- Aparheid system is a system with one government, one country with different rights for different people. All Israelis including 20% Arab/Palestinian population have full equal rights. Then in West Bank, separate land under the Palestinian Authority. Obviously, those Palestinians living there dont have rights to Israel. And vice versa. Gaza was under the separate authority of Hamas. People living in Gaza do not have rights to Israel. And vice versa. Three separate lands with different jurisdictions with different population.
At least he explained it in a very simple manner, simple enough for the other person to understand.
- Those student protest chantsā¦9:38 are full of hate. These chants are not people wanting peace for Middle East. āGod willing, Allah will take your lifeā ? No wonder some Jewish students are intimidated and afraid. And that young American Jew support these chants? See the person you are conversing as a human beings, you dont have to like him, just be courteous.
- Dont make it personal. Separate this person you speaking to from the others. I done nothing to you, I was born in 1993, I have nothing to do with it. You wont say every action of a Palestinian represents all Palestinians. Abu Mazen doesnt represent me (Palestinian). He is $#@&* Just because there are leaders who are wrong, that doesnt mean all those people are responsible for those leaders.
- There is good people and bad people in this world. There is good Palestinians and bad Palestinians. Abu Mazen is bad person. You would say that is not Palestinian, that is Abu Mazen. There are also good and bad Zionists, Israeli or Jew.
- I dont agree with this, but its a tactic. Together we (Israeli and Palestine) blame someone else for our problems. He picked British. The Britished started this conflict. They pitted Jews against Arabs, in their divide and conquer strategy. I think maybe blame UN, everyone thinks UN is incompetent.
āāāāā
I want to add I dont think its the responsibility of Israelis to teach young Pro-Palestinian American Jews what is Judaism, what is a Jew, etc.. I feel thatās American Jewish community should be able to help teach/ guide them. If Israelis are going to be starting conversation with anyone about peace in Middle East, they will talk with Palestiniansā¦not white or American Jewish Pro-Palestinian protesters.

2024.05.14 18:42 Easy_Increase632 Is this anxiety?
So I (21F) have this eme na everytime I know something good will happen, I overthink a lot and I think way ahead. I get worried and sad about what will happen after that "good" thing. And this is not just during those big happenings/milestone in my life kind of stuff but kahit sa mga simple lang na bagay.
Examples:
- Grocery shopping. I love grocery shopping and when my parents plan it ahead of timd, I get excited but then I'll also feel worried/sad na baka after that grocery shopping day ay maubos pera ng magulang ko at pabigat ako haha. Or baka mag-away kami ng mommy ko while shopping.
- When my bf visits me in our province. He would stay with us sa bahay for say 3 nights and of course I'm excited and I can't wait to be with him. Pero maiiyak nalang ako at malulungkot bigla kasi wala pa man, iniisip ko na agad na uuwi siya tapos maiiwan niya ako and masasad ako. Naiisip ko agad yung mararamdaman ko after namin magspend time together and I feel bad na bumabyahe siya nang malayo just to be with me.
- Hangout with friends. I overthink what would happen kapag magkikita kami ng friends. Like will I be asked about my medication again? Will I be able to have fun? Will I enjoy? Will I be upset? Ghurl, lahat na kahit na I'm surrounded with great friends.
Basically, I overthink a lot and that hinders me from looking forward to things that make me happy. And the funny thing is, I am okay and stable for the past month but I still feel this way haha but glad that I am able to regulate it naman. I end up enjoying din when the D-day comes pero I don't want to always feel sad and worried before that day that I'm supposed to be happy.
Ps., I am diagnosed with anxiety and depression. Soooo, is this normal overthinking like when you're excited or is this the anxiety in me??
And let me know if anyone else is also experiencing this hehe. Thank you!!!

2024.05.14 18:41 plz-tangerine I (25f) need advice about my ldr with my bf (25m)
My bf (25m) and I (25f) met last year and instantly clicked. He lived two hours away from me so weād see each other on the weekends and we always had the best time. I loved the way we communicated, the way he listened to me and was always kind and respectful to me. He went above and beyond with making me feel special. Making me my favorite desserts, surprising me with dates, making me dinner. Constantly texting me and asking me questions. We share so many interests, my family loves him, his family loves me.
Shortly into our relationship he was offered a promotion that required him to move about 11 hours away. He decided to accept the offer which I feel was the right decision and we decided to do long distance. He moved a few months after and weāve been doing long distance for about two months now. It has been extremely hard. My previous relationship was also a long distance relationship where my ex cheated on me. I told my current bf that Iāve developed a lot of anxiety regarding this and at first I wasnāt confident about my abilities to maintain a ldr. He assured me that he would FaceTime me every night, text me all the time, fly me out to visit him once every 6 weeks or that he would fly to me.
A few weeks into the long distance he started being more distant. His texts werenāt as reassuring and lovey as they used to me. He stopped planning FaceTime dates and wouldnāt call as much. One time he cancelled a Facetime date he had planned for us (we were going to make dinner together and watch a movie) 20 minutes before to hang out with his friend. I told him that since this is all we have right now theyāre really important to me. He said he understood and would do better.
When I would tell him I was feeling anxious he would get hostile and defensive. Saying ādonāt you see everything Iām trying to doā and if I expressed my concerns heād be very dismissive. One night he didnāt say I love you back to me on the phone. I asked him if something was wrong and he got mad that I even asked. If he was being dry and I would ask why heād say āI didnāt put an emoji, so what?ā I was starting to feel really defeated and upset. I was convinced that me thinking he was being distant was all in my head.
This past weekend I flew down to see him for the first time since weāve started long distance. Our reunion didnāt feel as emotional as I thought it would. He said he felt weird around me for the first 24 hours. I could tell something was off. He wasnāt looking at me the same way and it didnāt feel the way it used to. He wasnāt staying hard during sex either which has never happened. I asked if I did something wrong or he wasnāt attracted to me and he kept saying no that he didnāt know what the problem was.
Finally on the last night he admitted that he has been distant. I told him the way Iāve felt the last month is not okay. He started crying (which was the first time Iād ever seen him cry) and apologizing saying that itās not okay that heās treated me this way and how sorry he was. He kept saying that Iām the nicest person heās ever met and I deserve better and that he doesnāt know why he is the way he is. He mentioned that it may be trauma from past relationships where he never felt good enough and any criticism or problem feels very personal. He said he wishes he wouldāve supported me more emotionally and that I didnāt do anything wrong but that his new position has been very demanding. He said itās been so hard on him that heās losing his hair. He said the stress is so much more than he thought it would be and that when he has a full day of things going wrong and stress at work that itās harder for him to give me the patience and time and effort that I deserve, which he has never mentioned before. I asked him to be honest with me and himself about if heās able to handle the position and our relationship at the same time. He said he thinks he can and that he doesnāt want to lose me and how much he loves me and sees a really happy future and life with me.
I donāt know what to do. The last month I have felt so alone, unsupported and misunderstood. I understand his side as well. I just have a lot of concerns about both of our mental wellbeingās.
Iād like all the advice I can get. Thank you for reading all of this.

2024.05.14 18:41 Low_Detective_2154 How do I disable the "On Battery" and "On PD" full-screen notifications?
It is abnormal and bizarre that something as simple as plugging the laptop in or unplugging it causes the entire screen to flash for a moment, followed by a notification saying "On PD" or "On Battery." During the several seconds that this takes, I'm not able to use the computer. Why would anyone think this is a good feature? Why would ASUS do this? And how do I disable it?

2024.05.14 18:41 Agirlsconfusedmind In Defense Of Sterek
Ok. I'm first going to say that I am a Sterek shipper. I really like the dynamic between the two and I think they really did have good chemistry. This post is for mostly the people who find issue with Sterek because of the "Major age gap" that has appeared in the show.
I'm going on SEASON ONE CANON because that is what I consider to be cannon and the most reliable (this show has such fucked up timescales istg). In season one, when we first meet Derek, Stiles says "he is a few years older than us." Keep in mind, Stiles also has his driver's license during season one as well, which means he must be at least 16. By doing the math, that means Derek must be 18 or 19 (depending on what a "few" means to you). That is a 3 year age gap, If Stiles is a sophomore Derek would be a freshman in college, or if Stiles is a junior, Derek would be a sophomore in college which is not that bad of an age gap, I know people in real life who have that age gap. I think that main problem people have is that Tyler Hoechlin just doesn't look 19 or 18. However that doesn't mean he isn't.
Also, I would like to add another idea brought by another commenter on reddit. They said that Derek, because of the trauma he endured is "emotionally stunted." I would have to agree with this because of the way we see him act in the show. He doesn't act like a person his age should act and I think that attests to the trauma that he's been through. I am of the believe that Sterek should have been canon after BOTH Derek and Stiles got therapy. I don't think it would have been healthy before due to Derek's emotional immaturity and Stiles' own trauma however I do think they deeply care for each other and there is something there.
Again, due to the trauma that Derek and Stiles (especially after 3b) went through, I think the Sheriff would have been ok with it. He would understand the way they help each other and how they are overcoming the different things they have experienced in life.
Anyways thanks for listening to my rant. I'm tired of people acting like Sterek is a 7 year age gap when it's not.

2024.05.14 18:40 Practical-Mix-6720 Husband finally said no to something
So as with many users here, my relationship with MIL was fine before having a baby, but now that heās here sheās developed a classic case of baby rabies and has become a bit of a boundary pusher. I know this is common for new moms, but watching her interact with my son (4 months old) spikes my anxiety majorly and sheās suddenly way more annoying to me than she was before the baby. She lives about an hour away and Iād say we see her and FIL maybe once every 2 weeks. Some examples: MIL loves to barge into our house and try to take the baby from me immediately. I donāt think sheās ever actually asked if she can hold him, itās usually āIām going to steal him nowā (one time she walked up to me while he was actively nursing and said TO THE BABY āGrandmaās going to burp you now so Mommy can get upā, no hello to me or anything-I just stared at her for a minute and told her I was going to nurse until he was finished), uses obnoxious baby talk in a weird voice, and always āanswersā AS the baby if anyone says anything to him which drives me absolutely nuts. We also have a hard time getting her to surrender the baby back to one of us if he starts crying, because of course she knows exactly whatās wrong and can fix it. She is just hyper focused on him the entire time sheās around, to the point that sheās impossible to have a normal conversation with because sheās so busy following me around commenting on every tiny little movement or sound he makes. As someone with a VERY large personal space bubble, this is increasingly hard for me to put up with, and Iāve started going up to the bedroom to nurse or rock him to sleep using the excuse that the baby is too distracted by lights and sound right now because Iām tired of her hovering over me waiting for him to finish so she can try to scoop him up again.
This is her first grandchild and Iām glad sheās excited and loves him so much but she is just overwhelming and something about her audacity and lack of self awareness to how annoying sheās being puts me on the defensive and makes me dread seeing her. My husband has for the most part just let her get away with all of it. Whenever she asks to visit heāll agree before consulting with me, which I try to be understanding of because itās his mom but sometimes Iām just not in the mood to see people, even family. Iāve tried explaining to him how anxious her actions make me feel and his response has been that sheās always this annoying around babies (he has a big family with lots of younger cousins) and everyone just tries to ignore it. Which was not the most helpful response ever and had started causing some strain/resentment between us.
ANYWAY, MIL has started calling husband every few days to ask how the babyās doing and asking when she can see him again. A few days ago theyāre talking while baby is asleep on me and I hear him say āwell I appreciate that, but please donāt just stop by. You need to text OP to make sure itās a good day for a visit.ā Apparently she had been planning to start ādropping inā on me the 1-2 days a week my husband goes into the office to āhelp outā(aka hog the baby and annoy me) and he actually stood up to her and told her she needs to ask first! AND THEN he told her we were planning to just have a chill day at home for my first Motherās Day and could celebrate with her soon another time- in previous years the expectation has always been that all her kids come visit her all day on Motherās Day (I did send a card and flowers so itās not like we ignored her). This was 4 days ago and she hasnāt asked to see the baby since so sheās either realized we need some space or is super mad to be told no for once. Either way, I had a lovely peaceful Motherās Day at home and got to snuggle my baby as much as I wanted, and Iām so thankful my husband has started to realize he needs to be the one to say ānoā!

2024.05.14 18:40 ToastyCrouton [NYC] Rock-centric hobbyist with catalogue ISO originals band
Hi Reddit,
https://on.soundcloud.com/2heMz6SSenBcd8aS6 Here is an hour-long playlist of some of originals Iāve written over the years. I typically write acoustic songs first and try to transform them into rock songs.
I turned 35 a few weeks back and realized that, despite having hours of material, Iāve never been in a band and Iām looking to change that; you know what they say about the best time to plant a tree.
Iām looking for a band to make these come to life, collaborate on new projects, and give me a reason to record vocals outside my apartment bedroom. No ego here, as youāll read in my lyrics - Iām really looking for a team to collaborate with and make some good art.
My ideal style: Eve 6 and Breaking Benjamin had a baby with Linkin Parkās wordplay with NIN in the back of its mind.
Lyrics in descriptions. Not a whole lot of my music is set in stone - in fact I want a teamās input. Iām in JC but we can chat commute later.
Prefer in person, but saying online in the odd chance others desperately feel the need to collaborate.

2024.05.14 18:40 thepurlshq Cisplatin & Radiation Treatment (My Experience)
Update post on my progress and protocols for my treatment with side effects and how I managed it all.
Now that I'm done with treatment, I hope that this can help others who may be starting the same journey and have questions. I attribute my easy time to the premeds and my mental willpower. I focus on the positives and silver linings over the negatives. You can only control one thing -- your reactions. The rest requires you to practice acceptance.
Diagnosis: Stage 2 Endocervical Adenocarcinoma Gastric Type with LVSI
Treatment Plan: Surgery (cervix, uterus, and ovaries) followed by concurrent Chemo with Radiation with a PET Scan scheduled 2 months after treatment to determine if NED or more treatment is required.
I was scheduled for 6 chemo cycles, once a week, and 28 radiation beam therapies. Chemo happened on Monday and Radiation was Monday through Friday. I had to skip Cycle 3 on Chemo only because I was hospitalized with Norovirus and my counts were too low. I still did radiation those days.
Chemo Protocol in order of meds:
- Magnesium Sulfate + Potassium Chloride. Cisplatin strips this from your body, supplements.
- Emend (Fosaprepitant) - antiemetic. I had to get a port for this, it burned my arm vein and I had to use other arm for Chemo, no fun.
- Aloxi (Palonosetron) - antiemetic.
- Decadron (Dexamethasone) - steroid. It burns in your nether region, if it burns too much, ask them to push it slower.
- Lasix (Furosemide) - diuretic. Cisplatin is hard on kidneys, this is to help purge the chemo faster. Be close to a bathroom and ask nurse if you can just unplug your IV pole and go to bathroom freely vs. pushing call button -- its easier.
- Cisplatin (Platinol) 70mg (my dose). Didn't make me feel any different than the other infusions.
Plan for at least 5 hours for the above. I started at 7:30am and ended between 12 and 12:30pm.
Cisplatin Symptoms: This is going to vary person to person and you may get different premeds than me.
- Mon (Day 1) - just the cold feeling in your veins from all the fluid infusions. You also gain like 5lbs of water weight that day. I was typically ravenous and ate whatever I wanted, the antiemetics made this possible. Be wary of constipation from chemo, it took me by surprise the first week. The other weeks I ate a few prunes on Sunday and then after chemo on Monday to help. Otherwise you won't poop for a week and be miserable.
- Tues (Day 2) - no appetite and I don't eat. Even marijuana does not work to stimulate. I'll force myself if DH forces me, but since I eat everything in sight Day 1 I'm not too hard on myself. Important to have first BM this day, if nothing then you need to start addressing. Of course I BM daily so this may not apply to you.
- Wed - Thu (Day 3 - 4) - acid reflux and indigestion. Keep some Tums handy or use pills, it doesn't really help and you get used to it. All in, better than throwing up, so take it as a win if this is the worst for you. Appetite back.
- Fri - Sun (Day 5 -7) - less side effects, should be at normal BMs, if you are not you need to address for next cycle. Very important to purge your bowels if you are constipated before your next chemo. I ended up doing Miralax my first week, I had zero BM before Sat and I could feel the pressure. The following weeks I just did a handful of prunes Sunday night after dinner and Monday when I got home from chemo. I happen to like prunes and they worked to keep me regular.
Pelvic Radiation Symptoms: This is going to be different based on what areas are treated. My bladder, vagina, and pelvic nodes were heavily treated. Be sure you understand the side effects before you start treatment - so you can be on top of everything. Below is my experience and I had a fairly easy time of it.
- The fatigue sets in slowly. By week 3/4 I needed 12 hours a night to sleep. Don't ignore this important rest. I adjusted my work schedule from day 1 -- from 7a to 1p Tue - Thu. I didn't work Mon due to Chemo and Fri I had to get labs done and radiation so I worked from 7a to 11am. I did this from day 1 to set the tone with my boss and ensure I had the time needed to rest even if I didn't need it. I ended up working Sat and sometimes Sun to make up for things. I am a WFH executive - right hand of CEO and in charge of operations. Helps to have a great boss pick up the slack and an amazing team who supported me every step of the way.
- Bowels get softer over time, they do not go from hard to diarrhea overnight. If you have diarrhea fast, don't ignore it or let your doctor's ignore. I thought it was the prunes week 2 that did it, no it was norovirus. They didn't catch it until I had a 102 fever week 3 and had to be hospitalized. The chemo constipation masked it during the week.
- AZO is your BEST FRIEND. Take it every day. It is made to as a pain reliever for the bladder. I missed it for a week and paid for it so bad. Do not skip this important drug. I need to keep taking it for a few weeks until the symptoms subside.
- When you go in for your initial telemetry setup for the machines, make sure you are comfortable before they start anything. The moment you lay down on the machine bed, you need to make sure you are in a good position. They used a mold on my legs and I was not in a good position so it really hurt my hips every session thereafter.
- You have to put your hands on your chest. They give a ring, I hated it. I recommend relaxing your shoulders or you'll have a hard time while they do the treatment.
- You get used to the flow. You walk into the treatment room, hop on a bed while two techs adjust you (I had x marks on both hips and belly that they lined up). Then you get a quick CT to ensure your bladder is full and you're in a good position. Adjustments are made as needed. You know when the radiation beam starts because it is the only thing with noise. Don't move until they say you can. Whole thing is 10 mins or less.
- Bladder management is the worst part. You need to have a full bladder for this and as the treatment progresses you will have a harder time determining if your bladder is full or not. Your kidneys will also work slower (I attribute to the chemo) as the weeks go on, so you'll need to drink earlier. I recommend drinking what will fill your bladder two hours before your treatment. It is easier to let of some pressure than it is to fill the bladder. Tea is a natural diuretic and is very helpful to giving your kidneys a boost. I usually drank 20+ oz of Powerade two hours before (chugging), then tea when I arrived (they had fancy machines) and this worked 90% of the time.
- Be wary of foods you eat. I did great until Week 4 when I had lots of stuff with red sauce and it caused gas. I had to pass this gas before they could do my treatment, it was a riot but you don't want your visits to be like that every day. Stay away from tomato products and anything else that gives you even mild gas outside of treatment. It is nearly impossible to pass gas with an overfull bladder.
Nurses are your best friend. Having cancer and going through treatment sucks, but the nurses are there for you and my experience was all-inclusive resort service. Take advantage of the snacks (yes they have ice cream) when you're getting chemo. Don't be shy about asking them about your meds, they did a good job explaining this to me, but I still had questions now and again. It takes a special person to be an oncology nurse and you feel it. It never felt fake or like they were putting on a show/smile just for me. They truly cared. I never want to see them again either way :)

2024.05.14 18:40 itsallgnocchi Best friend is lying to husband
My best friend is in an open marriage. When we met I was single too and it was all fun and games, we went out a lot and met lots of people, had a ton of fun together. Sheās brilliant and beautiful and I love hanging out with her. However, at one point we met a pair of cousins. They are really cool people and one of them is now my boyfriend. My friend hooked up with the other, which was all fine and good, it was above board with her husband.
But then she started having feelings for him. And I guess simultaneously things began falling apart with her husband. She was talking about getting divorced. He wanted her to cut it off with my bfs cousin. I guess it crossed the line from just sex to a real threat to their marriage. The cousin wasnāt acting interested in her behind hooking up. Her and I hung out less partly bc of this, partly bc I wasnāt as interested in going out anymore.
Recently her and I hung out again, coinciding with the cousin reaching out to her and I guess telling her he actually WAS interested in something more serious with her. So sheās been meeting up with him and lying to her husband about it. She told me she would have to choose between them. She also said she wanted to talk to me about why we hadnāt been hanging out as much.
So the next day we met up to talk. At the beginning I tried to just tell her that itās normal for me to go through waves of closeness but Iām still here for her. But she started crying and said she felt abandoned and she thought our friendship was more special than that. I felt so bad I started crying too. Eventually I kind of let it all out, that I felt uncomfortable with her lying to her husband bc I like him and heās a good person. That I feel put in between her and the cousin too bc, when he was being cold to her, I told her to stop contacting him (in the ālet him chase youā sense) and then she turned around and told him that and he thought it meant I donāt like him. I do like him i was just trying to look out for my friend. Itās fine but heās my boyfriends best friend so I want to have a good relationship with him.
When we talked I admit I didnāt handle it the smartest way. I was kind of moralizing to her, saying she should be honest about whatās going on to her husband at least, and do the right thing. She was saying sheās just feeling out the cousin to see if he actually is up to her standards for a serious relationship, but I just tried to share that itās not really fair to treat anyone like that, to āmonkey branchā from one relationship to another, and she should keep her hands clean. I said multiple times that itās her life and her decision. I also shared my own experience where I did the same thing in the past and how it ended horribly bc I couldnāt live with the guilt and I hurt multiple people. I guess I felt I wanted to say something bc her mess affects me via my boyfriend. I also care about her and wouldnāt want her to make the shitty mistakes I made before.
We havenāt spoken since but she stopped sharing her location with me. Idk if she thinks I was trying to end the friendship but I wasnāt, but I feel conflicted now. Should I have kept my mouth shut? I felt so bad that she was upset. But I thought at the time, if our friendship is truly special then a good friend should be honest. Should I apologize for being too hard on her? I know sheās struggling.
