I have posted this story here multiple times and the moderation team has locked my thread multiple times. This is ridiculous. They are doing what they have always done: Suppress or ban anyone who they don't like. They are role-playing the super earth secret police, yet again.
The obvious reason is so that they can protect themselves from the truth. By locking my posts repeatedly, they are proving my point and making me more and more frustrated: They are one of the worst CM teams I have seen. I hope you will help me and fellow helldivers out by posting this where it can be seen if the moderators continue to try to protect themselves by locking my thread that tries to fully explain the PSN fiasco yet again.
Super Earth France Reporter here. The PSN fiasco has been one of the biggest events this year in all of gaming. Yet something very strange has been going on the entire time since the 3rd.
In the past three days, Arrowhead's CM (community manager) team has not only been contradictory with itself, but contradictory with their CEO's statements. At one point - a CM tells us that we should review bomb the game even harder.
From telling players to review bomb the game, once to tell players to piss off, the second time seriously, to conveniently leaving facts out, the CM have dragged AH from the 'F incident' through the PSN fiasco. If you have ever been confused by what is going on, here is the full story I have tried to put together (with difficulty).
It feels like at every step, every single person is saying something totally contradictory with what a different person is saying if we actually compare people's statements closely.
The CM team have only continued to damage their credibility, yet again, by misleading people and trying to cover up their mistakes during the PSN fiasco instead of trying to be honest. I need to ask everyone: What value do they even provide if this is the result?
This summary of events has been put together with insight from friends who discussed the recent AH issues at length with me, probably because I am the only one crazy enough to write this much. I hope you will enjoy reading this very long piece.

The PSN fiasco

The PSN fiasco all began on the 3rd: https://www.reddit.com/Helldivers/comments/1cjvw1s/arrowhead_community_manager_misty_admits_that_the/
This conversation followed an announcement signed by Playstation announcing PSN login integration. Most likely, the review bombing had not seriously started yet. Why would the CM change their Twitter and lock the post? It is probably in response to them discovering how angry people got about PSN integration.
At this point in time, everyone began trashing Sony, and many, myself included, said that this was a money-grabbing move for Sony to raise their stock value and Sony was clearly forcing this on AH.
But this CM said that Arrowhead wanted PSN linking and not Sony. Yet there's another post that was live JUST a day afterward that showed 'Spitz' saying what sounds like the frigging opposite. This is confusing at the least and the extent of how much this was AH's idea is still unclear. The first post likely happened before people started getting angry. The second post by Spitz likely occurred with the perspective of damage control.
Something is fishy.
One person says PSN allows them to ban people better. Later, Spitz said that the PSN change, steam announcement, and FAQ all come from Sony. I found this suspect. It seems to check out at first glance. The announcement from Sony on the 3rd can be seen here. Sure enough, it is signed by Sony. But this statement likely would have gone through both AH and Sony teams before being pushed out to Steam. It is unlikely that AH had no ability to coordinate with Sony on this statement. AH knew this was going to happen at some point 3 months ago, but maybe not exactly when.

Spitz roleplaying Super Earth propaganda ministry

Spitz' discord statements on discord are just damage control. But what's more, they are deliberately meant to mislead because they are so incredibly contradictory and leave out critical information.
This is the gist of what Spitz says: He tells us that internal discussions are ongoing about PSN linking and AH is trying to find alternative solutions. If AH can't find a better way, AH won't force players to link PSN. The steam announcement, FAQ, and PSN link is from Sony and not AH, (That's some bullshit. AH KNEW this was coming and AH had some say in it. You're leaving information out.) Spitz then apologizes for telling people to either make a PSN account or review bomb the game and piss off. (Not that it means anything, Spitz will probably just do it again in the future with that attitude) Spitz finally says we should continue to review bomb the game and gives them more pull in discussions with Sony. This is crazy. Developers asking players to review bomb the game further?
Let's take a look.
On the 3rd, Pilestedt is clearly aware and sad about the reviews. But Spitz tells us to keep the bombs coming, thanks for your help. We can make a better game this way. What?
At this point time, anger is aimed at Sony and Spitz does not reveal what they almost certainly always knew provides no clarity nor honesty to us, because the CEO revealed on the 5th that they knew for 6 months (9 months now) that they were going to do PSN integration.
Spitz simply leaves out this part and keeps on saying Sony Sony Sony. But Misty PROVES that they knew about EVERYTHING with the initial tweet on the 3rd that the CMs panicked and tried to hide. There is NO mention of this by Spitz!! Unless you are telling me something absolutely INSANE - that the CM team is SO disorganized that SOMEHOW, Misty has never talked to Spitz between the 3rd and 5th during a major crisis, there is CLEARLY something suspicious going on. Spitz says we are on the player's side. (Even though the CEO later reveals that through likely internal+PS discussions, they settled on PSN integration, probably to ban people better as Misty claims) Spitz says Sony did the announcement. (AH knew this was coming months ago) Oh, by the way, Sony, not us, made the FAQ, the Steam announcement and change. (Even though there's no way the AH team did not coordinate and talk to the Sony team)

In no way is Spitz helping us. On the 3rd, Misty had said the overwhelming number of people trying to link accounts for the first half hour of launch was what caused them to disable linking. You didn't know Asian helldivers couldn't do this...? You looked at attempted PSN links on launch day and didn't notice the problem in certain areas? Nothing is 'wrong', but this sounds very strange...
Spitz claims he didn't know some countries didn't have the ability to make the PSN account which screwed over our Asia Helldivers. This sounds strange. You are telling me that 6+ months ago, AH knew about PSN linkage but no person in AH or Sony knew that PSN accounts were not possible in many areas and NO ONE brought this up? This is not Sony's first time publishing a game. The CEO also claims this, and while yes it is plausible, it is just... suspicious. And the CEO says they were 'forced' to comply with PS and they KNEW there was going to be backlash. I am just going to stop speculating here and say three people are saying three different things. I feel like I am doing law school exam problems that are like: "Bob lied, but Nancy blames Ernest. John said Ernest tells the truth all the time."

And to address the craziest statement you will probably never see a developer call for ever again: You should review bomb the game. This is what really got me interested. I don't know what to make of this remark, but here is the best I can do:
If this game trained Helldivers to do something well, it's to collaborate on a major order.
At this point in time - people are absolutely just destroying the game on steam.
AH is watching their playerbase plummet, but there is a silver lining while this is going on - everyone is angry at Sony! And almost not at AH at all. Given how deceptive Spitz has been in leaving out just the right details, Spitz - is roleplaying the Super Earth Propaganda Minister (SEPM) by pushing all the blame onto Sony and keeping AH friendly with players. In conflict with this, Misty's statement on the 3rd would have made it seem like AH was the origin of the reason for PSN integration, which to this day, I'm still not certain how much of this was desired by AH.
If the players were all angry at AH, the game would be dead or have a far harder time recovering. We would no longer trust the developers. If the players directed their anger at Sony, players aren't really angry at the game and just want Sony to back down. AH can recover much more of its reputation and playerbase more easily. This is what AH would prefer if it had the choice between one or the other.
Why am I ultimately this suspicious of their CM team?

This is because this is a story about the Helldivers CMs who are roleplaying Super Earth Secret Police just a little bit too hard.

Every time they have only worsened AH's headaches with deceptive and rude treatment of their own community.
Going back, there is a trail of mess coming out of the discord and these community team that perfectly explains how they like to operate. Here is one of the most notable examples.

The F incident

If you haven't heard of the "F" incident, it began with people spamming the word "F" in their official server chat because the game went down. People were clearly just having fun bantering. To keep control, the moderation team actually PINGED the 100,000 members in the server, telling them to stop spamming "F" and threatening bans over spamming "F".
OBVIOUSLY THIS BACKFIRED. 100,000 people were pinged for the stupidest reason ever heard of, IMMEDIATELY more people started typing "F" in chat.
WELL regarding the bans, they weren't kidding. Summary here. So real quick, putting "F" in chat got you permabanned from the server. They don't even give a reason. You'll just find out that the server is gone from your server list. And no, you can't come back.
I think the moderator who did this and not the CM was kicked out for this. (might not be true) Well. Regardless this is just a case of idiots pulling in yet more idiots.
Frankly, I've never seen a server run more poorly and the way that their official discord is managed (not very well) only exposes how rude the people in their community team is toward the community. They would be deceptive when honesty is better. At one point we all loved this game and maybe we can continue doing so. But if we come back from this their community team needs to change.

In the official discord, I mean, let's just look at just a couple reasons I've seen people get banned for.

• "banned because someone linked my comment pinging a mod, instead of the actual person talking shit, and they banned me lmao", the mod "Didn’t even bother to check why they got pinged."
• Telling a mod they missed 90% of warhammer talk
• Talking about warhammer
• Having only numbers in your username. Who even cares, and why are you permabanning people for this? Not even a kick, just permaban?
• Mistyping a word, having automod catch it, being permabanned without warning or notification. You're not kicked. You're permanently banned.
• "I'm not on the official for whatever reason. I've been banned and I don't know why. All I can think of is because I called people who kick with no warning cucks." (probably talking about helldivers gameplay)
• Being banned for asking when some bugs would be fixed

What happens if people try to appeal the bans with an alt? They can get permabanned too.
It's just a mess how AH community team sees hundreds of thousands of players and thinks it won't make a dent in their numbers if they just treat people like garbage. What is the point of this community team? Well, the problem with having these types of people on your team is shown very well in how they have handled recent events.
In the end, what seems fair to say is that PSN integration was going to roll out at launch. It was delayed. Months after launch, it was re-implemented, but this was perceived as Sony's decision, and players were suspicious that Sony was trying to inflate their user count for the shareholders. However, it appears to be more complicated over exactly who wanted how much PSN integration. But again, the lack of consistency from either the CEO or the CMs and hostility from the Super Earth Secret Police who are supposed to be community managers has been the only constant.
Thanks for reading.

Since I do not use reddit I am just using my friend's account here to share this piece with you all. I just picked a category, hopefully that works.

I’m not going to beat around the bush and just come right out with it. I want to know if I waited too late to say something. It’s being brought back up because of therapy and I was diagnosed with PTSD. I pushed this down so long I hadn’t taken a look to see how much it’s been effecting my life. I see now pushing things down and not talking to anyone about it does more worse than good. I want to get through my trauma and live a normal life.
Is it to late to tell the police I was raped in 2017 by my at the time best friends boyfriend. I was 21 years old when I woke up to him on top of me and my panties to the side. My friend was in their room sleeping, he had come out to the living room in the middle of the night. I felt a voice telling me to wake up. We’d all been drinking the night before, even his friend that liked me was on this same L shaped couch sleep. When I slightly opened my eyes it was blurry I figured the friend was trying something with me but even if… it was unwanted and while I was passed out. I seen his foot and immediately knew it wasn’t him. I turned my head and fully opened my eyes to see my best friends boyfriend on top of me.
I held on to this information for one day before telling my best friend what happened, afraid she might not believe me. She had been questioning why I left before the morning I left all of my things there even my purse and heels. I left with my bare feet phone and keys.
When I told her she left work and told me and her boyfriend to meet her at her home. I know now that wasn’t the best idea but I figured she was my friend and I was naive at the time.
We all sat down and I told once again the story, we’d been drinking but I remember the entire night till this day. His response when she asked if it was true was he was blacked out he don’t remember but that it didn’t sound like something he’d do.
She walked me out to my car we were both crying and hugging. She told me she was sorry for his actions and that sometimes when he drinks he gets aggressive with her. She told me she understood if I didn’t want to hang around anymore.
I left and she went to social media to say I was lying. She switched up quick. Eventually I found out she was pregnant by him so I guessed that’s why she switched up.
Over the years I start thinking she was apart of it. I felt set up. But more than anything I want him to pay for what he did to me. I just don’t know if I waited too late.

TL;DR at the bottom, but please read the whole thing before asking addtl questions if u have the time ❤️🙏🏽
Hello! I have a husky grand pyraneese mix, literally the most chill dog I've ever met in my life. I've taken him in and out of stores, parks, camping, we've gone bike riding together, I've had him in and out of shelters when I'd go there to volunteer, etc. He doesn't bark, he doesn't whine, he doesn't chew, he doesn't chase, he completely submissive to any dog or cat regardless of gender or size. I can't even describe how relaxed and amazing he is. He is one of a kind, the golden temperament.
His big BIG issue is recall. I've had him about a year and a half, and have CONSTANTLY worked with him, trying different methods even going to a trainer(when I had the $ to even do such a thing), he isn't /really/ food motivated, he isn't play motivated, and when he gets out he doesn't come back. His previous owner who had him from birth-1yr had the same issue. He's jumped every single fence I've ever had, and I can't afford a 10 foot tall privacy fence, which is the only fence I haven't seen him jump. I have three other dogs (chi-weenie, boxer, and blue heeler) who were all trained the exact same way(with minor changes like food for two who are food motivated, toys and excited pets for the one who's play motivated) , and they all have done just fine and listen great. The husky does everything I ask him perfectly, he was fully untrained (other than to potty outside) when I got him at 1 year old, didn't even sit. He's 2.5 now and he knows several commands(down, yes, no, sit, stay, stay sitting, lay down, stay laying down, wait, come sit [from kennel to sitting at feet]), and executes them all very well. except staying home/recall. He doesn't really dig to get out either, he just has major hops.
I either need unique suggestions on how to help his behavior that I hadn't already tried, or info on resources I can use to get him rehomed to a good home, and "foster" him until his home is found. He's the only pup I got at his age, the other three I had right at 8 weeks and raised myself. I know little about the home he previously came from, but I can say there were abt 12 other huskies/pyraneese free roaming the house, none of them where trained aside potty outside. His "owner" was the 18 y/o daughter in the house who worked at subway and admitted she fed him exclusively subway sandwhiches and human food, when I got him he refused dog food for days until he finally ate. It's been hard and I've worked with him ALOT, and he's come such a long way. Crate trained, and everything he's done SO GOOD. but this has been the one thing I haven't been able to budge on him, recall and staying home.
I had a couple who were fit, looking for a dog who likes to be active, and thats him (maybe just not so much in the summer haha, though he's hardier than a husky in the summer since he's half pyraneese, and most ppl w pyraneese have them outside all day and night as cattle dogs) . They absolutely fell in love with him, he truly has a golden personality. They had a gorgeous huge house with wooden fencing and kids (he's great with kids of all ages, cats, even cattle) they all meshed well. We all agreed he could spend the night, just to make sure it was a good fit. I'd come get him the next day, they'd talk it over, and go from there. My heart was shattered but I felt so happy he would have a yard he could run in and no longer be leashed up all the time, plus they promised I could come see him whenever. Well he jumped the fence there as well ( I think it was 8ft?) and they had to chase after him so they texted me asking to bring him back, of course I said yes immediately. I feel so bad for even trying to rehome him, especially now that he is back with me anyways.
Im not posting a Pic or anything bc I'm not trying to make this a buy/sell/trade post, but you can DM for pics if u want.
Just looking for the advice 😭😭
TL;DR: I have the perfect dog temperament and training wise, but his whole life he's been unable to kick his addiction of jumping fences then not having recall when you try to get him. I've tried everything I can, I need ideas on how to train him or info on rehoming programs that aren't state ran facilties that have kill lists. I can foster him until he has a home anyways, but I can't keep having him get loose no matter what I try.

I am a wife of a Veteran. I was on here back in Feb and March and many of you were quite helpful when my husband went to ER and was admitted. Here are details leading to my questions:
- May 1986, my husband sustained a compression fracture to 3 vertebrae in roll-over accident while serving on active duty. Was given 20% service rating when discharged.
- 2001 was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor (Glioblastoma). Did chemo and radiation and lived the next 23 years with no deficits or recurrence.
- Started having back, tailbone and foot pain early 2023 and found out through another Veteran he should be applying for a higher service rating.
- After a scan Aug 2023 was diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis.
- Using a local VSO he applied for an increase based on prognosis.
- Dec 2023, VA approved for back diagnosis, denied for tailbone/ coccyx and foot pain. Received a service connection rating of 60%.
- Feb. 2024 experienced seizures for the first time in his life. ER visit determine recurrence of brain tumor. Had craniotomy to remove tumor.
- April 25, 2024, after lengthy hospital stay recovering, he was transferred to an inpatient intensive Neurological rehabilitation center and is still currently there.
- Since I was not around when my husband had his car accident, his family told me he did not remember who he was when he woke up in the hospital and did not remember the accident. They believe I should try to prove his accident definitely had trauma to his head which very well could have lead to his brain cancer years later. May be a long shot.
- Small non-VA hospital where he was taken to in 1986 no longer have his medical records from the accident. After 3 days in that hospital, he was transferred to William Beaumont Army Medical Center in Fort Bliss, TX. Have not called yet to see if they have kept medical records from 1986.
- Husband’s Neuro-Oncologist said “sure a head trauma could potentially lead to brain cancer, anything is possible, as we don’t know what causes brain cancer.”
- I also believe he had PTSD, as he lost his best friend who was driving the vehicle and could never talk to me about it. He said it triggered too much pain and was traumatized when his best friends mother said to him (out of grief I’m sure), “I guess we will never really know who was driving the vehicle.”
I have tried to watch advice given by other Veterans on YouTube, but there is so much info it is kind of overwhelming. I thought of hiring a 3^rd party, but again so many and how do you know which are actually legit. So a Veteran friend recommended I start off with the VSO and see what she says and if that doesn’t’ work, then hire a 3^rd party.
Since my husband has memory and cognitive deficits right now, I am the one who will be trying to get his service connection rating increased. I do have medical POA for my husband and I did submit Form 21-0845 (Auth to Disclose Info to me). I have a meeting with the same VSO next week Wed. May 22 to discuss appealing the denial on tailbone and foot pain. I have access to his VA portal and could not find explanation for denial of tailbone and foot pain. Also the fact that my husband has terminal brain cancer and is no longer employable.
1. I know brain cancer will be a hard thing to prove a connection with his car accident while in service. But back in 1986 I don’t think head traumas were given as much concern as they are now. Do any of you think there are ways to prove this, or does it even need to be proved with a terminal diagnosis?
2. Any advice when speaking with the VSO on what I should say and not say when trying to appeal the tailbone and foot pain and unemployable?
Thanks in advance.

Looking for suggestions or experience with different brands of truck caps. Wondering about durability, security and weatherproofing. Seems to be major brands of LEER, A.R.E. and SnugTop. Topper would keep the tailgate intact and preferably have some sort of storage on the sides rather than opening to the bed.
Company is looking at outfitting new trucks and service bodies are quite expensive. Tools boxes across and along side the bed don’t maximize the full use of the truck.
Thanks! 🙏🏻

First, thank you so much to the many folks here who gave words of encouragement. I was always afraid this day would come, as I thought it would make me look old and weak. However, some of you reminded me that it could also bring about increased independence and mobility. You were right!
I purchased a cheap, aluminum cane to get a feel for the length I would need. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by how much it helped. Sometimes it feels a bit superfluous/excessive/extra if I'm not limping along, but I know it'll help prevent pain. I've started walking several times a day for probably a total of an hour per day! Stretching out my back and leg through walking has helped the pain immensely. In the morning I'll be pretty miserable, but by afternoon I'm doing fairly well (as long as I keep using the cane). Going without it while making dinner is like a death sentence. I'm also able to sleep better now. In the couple of weeks leading up to my previous post, I would wake up several times in agony every night. Now I might wake up once. I can't believe this simple addition to my life has made such an improvement. I even ordered two more that I felt were more stylish.
On a somewhat related note, I saw the PA at the neurosurgery office today and she was pretty dismissive, stating she didn't know what was wrong with me because I'm "too young for pain or surgery" and my scans "didn't look bad enough". She prescribed the dreaded busy work for pain patients: gabapentin and physical therapy. I broke down as soon as she left the room. I may end up having to switch gears with doctors and treatments or forego them for the time being, but now I know I have a little something to lean on :).
Again, thank you all for the advice and encouragement.

Antisemitism:
I'll make it clear quickly. I'm not saying you have to agree with all of what Israel does, or any of it for that matter because let's be honest BiBi is an idiot and needs to go: but to deny the right of Israel's existance is to deny the legitimacy of a Jewish state. I've never seen this argument come up with Islamic states, nor have I seen this with Christian countries like the one I live in. The only arguments I seem to come across is secularisation theory which states all religions will be forgotten once we adopt science. Without getting into that can of worms it should be said that Israel's right to exist, as every named state within the rules of international law is final, and a states dissolution can only happen through complete conquest or self destruction.
Israeli identity has always been strong, I mean look at festivals like Hannukah and Passover within the Jewish faith and you'll see that Judaism and Israel are two sides of the same coin as the religion operates within the gift of a nomadic society of former slaves, the Hebrews, being given the gift of a homeland. To deny the right of Israel's existance is therefore to deny the existance of Judaism, which subsequently denies the existance of all Jews. I'm right here, right now, typing this up. I am a jew. I'm a proud Jew and I exist. Jews exist. Israel and Jerusalem exist. It has long before I was born, and it will exist long after I'm dead. I'm tired of having to hide my identity as a Jew both online and in person. The reason I've had to hide it was because people on the whole just hate Jews. I understand it you disagree with actions taken by the Jewish state but to deny the right for Israel to exist is to deny my right to exist.
It would be identical to telling a Christian that the Vatican city must cease to exist due to the crusades killing millions, or telling a Muslim to give up Mecca due to the first and second caliphate taking the region by the sword in the name of islam and Mohammed. All religions, and all states have done things that they're not proud of. Take the Germans for example, who quite literally had Hitler and the Nazis. Did I like what Hitler did? Not really he killed half of my family. But does that make me hate Germans? No. It never has and it never will. Germans have a right to exist. Germany has a right to exist. It always has, and it always will; just like Israel or any other nation state.
This may lead you to say: well what about Palestine?
The two kinds of Palestinian:
Palestine, or more specifically the group of people calling themselves Palestinians are yet to declare themselves a state for two reasons. The first is that there are Egyptian and Jordanian Palestinians, and they do not get on. To call each other one and the same would be an insult to themselves because of Egypt and Jordan's history with one another. As I'm writing this, I can link this to quote a few jokes about the Ashkenaz and Sephardis. They just write themselves. Anyways, back to the problem with most people's understanding of the history of the conception of Palestinians and why making one collective people can't really happen. The second part of why Palestinians can't be one collective plays off of the first. Jordanian and Egyptian sub-sects cause uprisings in the '70s after the six day war as the two groups that end up both calling themselves Palestinians think that Jordan and Egypt respectively should carry on attacking Israel until they have victory or death. Read about the last line of defence at Golan and decide for yourself which is more likely if you're really willing to look into how successful this mindset would have been. This is the reason we have both black and red keffiyehs, as both colours come from two different countries. The red is Jordanian from what I know if you were curious. Anyways both communities carry on this victim mentality of victory or death and see themselves as a sort of Martyr nation through their own political beliefs and developments over time, and so when they see eachother playing the same beat they get really pissed off with each other. Think of little Britain and the 'i am the only gay in the village' skit. It's almost exactly like that unfortunately.
This leads to my conclusion on the second part of this. I just want the west bank Palestinians and Gazan Palestinians to consolidate a solid sense of identity outside of hating my race and leave the past and their version of evens behind. What happened happened. In war no one really wins you just have survivors with more land because the people that were there beforehand are either dead or left. Both Jews and Arabs have experienced that. Frequently. Both communities are so damn similar in our sense of humour, history, food and fashion sense 🤣.
The superpower:
All jokes aside we're so much more similar than we think so whats the point of hating each other? Yes, I'm a jew. I understand that a lot of people hate me. But I think that if we just sit and talk about our cultural experiences Jews and Arabs are going to realise how much we have in common and there's just no point fighting because it's essentially killing the closest thing to you. In most languages the people closest to you are called family. Let's stop killing our own family and realise two things: one, Jews and Arabs are almost identical in how we perceive identity and culture and two, the middle east if it united itself would have enough cultural history through islam and Judaism, it's subsequent mathematical, scientific and economic wisdoms and resources to be the largest superpower the world has ever seen in recorded history. So whilst I'd like to address the anti-Semitism in this sub in the immediate I'm genuinely serious about staring a Judeo-Christo-Islamic empire but that's probably because I'm 5 coffees deep into a long work night at god knows how late.
TL;DR: Jews exist and so does Israel. Doesn't mean Israel's always right but don't deny it should exist. See Germany, the Vatican city/Italy and Greece and apply the same logic. It doesn't make sense. It's just masked antisemitism. Palestine isn't a state yet. It should be. West bank and Gazan Palestinians need to consolidate and get on with each other. Palestinians, Israelis and all Jews/Arabs are really similar so the conflict is nonsensical. (Almost feels like we were made to fight a proxy war because the USA and Russia realised the middle east once united would be the biggest superpower of all time and due to the rich cultural and racial ties wouldn't slow down in thousands of years, it would just keep getting stronger.) Let's stop fighting each other and talk about what we should be doing as Jews, Muslims, Arabs, Israelis or just human beings so that both sides can learn to love each other like the family it is.
PS: I hope we all have a little think about the Israeli- Arab conflict in light of this: "Almost feels like we were made to fight a proxy war because the USA and Russia realised the middle east once united would be the biggest superpower of all time and due to the rich cultural and racial ties, as well as the wealth of resources and the fantastic scientific , mathematical and philosophical minds these two races have created (Einstein, Rumi, Abu Shuja, Oppenheimer ect) wouldn't slow down in thousands of years, it would just keep getting stronger. "

What are best practices for releasing nearly 200 old podcast episodes from Libsyn to YouTube? I'd love to hear your thoughts or personal experiences. Thanks!
We have 481 total episodes. The first 189 eps, from as far back as 2016, are not yet on our YouTube channel. I know how to get them there in bulk (*see below), but:

1. Won't YouTube show today (or whatever date I release them) as the publish date on all of this old content?
   
2. Won't publishing 189 videos at once wreak havoc with YouTube - the algorithm, stats, subscribers' experience, etc?
   

With binge-ing being fairly typical behavior for our show's new listeners, and YouTube being Google's new/latest podcast solution, releasing old episodes to YouTube seems to be a no-brainer - as long as it's done right. I appreciate any input!
* From Libsyn podcaster support, you can release missing episodes to YouTube by: - Selecting the lowercase i at the bottom of the page (Libsyn 5) - Selecting switch back to Libsyn 4 and signing into Libsyn 4 - Going to Destinations in Libsyn - Going to Select Content located next to the YouTube destination - Checking the boxes to the left of the missing episodes/checking the box in the top-left corner of the table (on each individual page) to select all of your episodes - Saving your changes at the bottom of the page If an episode's release date is listed as Jan 1, 1970, it simply means that the episode doesn't have a release date for that destination.

Hi! I need help with sizing and bra recommendations. Calculator gave me 34F/FF in UK size.
ABTF Measurements: Loose underbust: 34.5 inches
Snug underbust: 33 inches
Tight underbust: 31.75 inches
Standing bust: 40 inches
Leaning bust: 42.5 inches
Lying bust: 39 inches
The bras I’ve tried are: Panache Envy in both 34F and 34FF. There’s some gap where the straps meet the cup in both size. The side wire in 34FF went up more in my armpit fat, 34F was comfortable in that area.
Freya Fancies 34F: Some gap where the straps meet the cup. The cup looks small on my left breast. Just realized that my breast are assymetric 😅
Freya Viva Side Support 34FF: Actually feels the most comfortable. Though, there’s wrinkling on the bottom and it looks like my right breast isn’t filling the top.
All the straps in the above bras I had to slant a bit or it feels like they’ll fall off my shoulder. Slanting also minimizes the gap on the straps to the cup.
I scoop and swoop while trying them on. I tried them on first with the loosest closure and I realized I can go all the way to the tighest also.
Should I try a smaller band? Would that help fill the top? If so, what cup would it be? Or, would different style bra fit better?
I think my breast shape is wide pendulous with very soft tissue. Maybe short roots. In regards with fullness, FOT(?) or even? When I lean 90 degree, bottom is straight line and top is curved. But, since I’m not filling up the top on the bras I tried on. I’m confused 😅. When lying down, breast tissue leans towards the side.
I’m based in the US and I got the above bras from Amazon.
I would appreciate some direction 😅 I’ll have to return the 4 bras I got before I can purchase some more.

Life is driving me Mad. I've never made a reddit post, so please forgive any ignorance. First I will begin by saying, I'm so done.... I'm a mom of three children, 1 (6 yr old boy) and 2 (2 yr old twin girls). I don't even know where to start... I guess I'll start with how my situation is going right now and then work backwards to how it all began... I am currently working as a FT MA and I live with my son and I don't live with my twin girls. How is that possible? You ask. Well, it all began after I had my twins... I am a petite woman at only 4'4" so my twins came out early (NICU Babies). They thrived in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). The twins were in the NICU for 1 month and then finally came home. I was filled with so much joy and happiness. My son would come help me with the bottle and read them books, my life felt complete ❤️ If you know me well, you would know that my life as a child was ust full of bad luck and sadness and pain. I try not to think about it and keep trying to live life. No matter how hard life got I tried to stay optimistic and kept pushing forward... And those few moments of joy and fulfillment almost got me to believe that I finally did it and I was proud of my hard work and success, for those few moments. Sadly those moments did not last and my life got pushed into a whirlwind of pain, depression and loneliness all over again.... And I gained a new fear.... On April 14th... Twin A almost gained her wings that day... And I fell right back into that dark hole I worked so hard to crawl out of... My life at that moment felt like I was trying to control a ship in a really harsh storm, and during that storm I lost my home, I lost a car, someone stole my wallet, Twin B was diagnosed with the same condition as her sister and ended up in the hospital too, we basically lived in the hospital for half a year, hopping from roomate to roomate from Facebook Marketplace until we saved enough money to get our own place again. Me and the Kid's Dad ended up separating, I was paying for a 2Bed 2Bath on my own income and it was a struggle but me and my son managed. I ended up talking to my best friend of 11 yrs (M) and we ended up falling in love. After dating for a while he ended up wanting to help me with finances so we moved in together. And we both work Full time jobs. I thought things would calm down for a while so I can find stability again. And now I can talk about my condition, it's not horrible. I need surgery and if not there's a possibility of me losing mobility in my limbs. I've already been missing days for being sick due to the condition and have been getting paid less. The thing is though, surgery is expensive and I'm already missing days, I get FMLA without benefits and I have to be out of work for a month. I don't even know what to do. My life has to fall back into place like a domino affect. I get healthy again, I do what I need to do to get a big enough place for my children with a stable job. I wish it was that simple.... I need some advice or words of encouragement, I honestly feel like I can't handle this anymore.
Also this kind of felt good to let it out and get this off my chest...

Hello,
I've never posted about this kind of stuff, but I've never experienced such a persistent nagging pain
My ex and I had a very turbulent 7 year relationship, I initially met her months after healing from another long term relationship, about 25 years, and that ended amicably, and to this day I see her as a friend.
The beginning of our relationship was amazing, it was very sexually charged, she was into everything and anything I did, she was sweet, comforting, a great listener, the times we had were almost euphoric. Even during this phase of the relationship, I acknowledged to myself that I have to take things slow as things are moving so fast.
About a month and a half into "dating" she got pregnant, and I told her I will be there for you, and I'll never run away from being a Father, ever! Immediately everything changed, and of course I understand why and empathize with how she may have felt suddenly being pregnant, and I genuinely cared and made myself available at all times. We only lived a building apart, we were basically doors down from each other.
Immediately she wanted to get a place together, I let her know that she could stay with me anytime, give it a trial run, but we still need to get know each other, as I just got over a 25 year relationship. She started staying with me on and off and I began seeing a complete different side of her, she would storm out of my place and take issue with little things like clothes on the floor, or an unmade bed, I mean over the top anger.
Still throughout this period I began falling in love with her, and falling in love with my unborn child. During this period I started discovering a pattern of lies, some just white lies, some extremely severe, lies that had the potential to affect any sort of positive outcome as they entailed criminal behavior. When confronted with the worst ones I was assured she would stop.
Skip ahead to the birth, I was with her, we were both content, a happy beautiful healthy daughter came from the womb. I was in love, both with my child, as well as the Mother. We were inseparable for awhile, then she became extremely controlling, even vicious at times. My time with my daughter was often relegated to when the Mother was asleep, I would let her sleep when my daughter woke up in the night and bond with her then.
One day she got extremely upset with me as I wanted to bring my daughter and her to a family event, she had an issue with a family member of mine, this turned into a CRAZY argument, that ended up with me being denied seeing my child for over 12 days. I ended up going to the courthouse to file papers that would give me the legal right to see my daughter, regardless of the status of my relationship with the Mother.
I never served those papers, as my daughter had gotten sick, and we both met at her pediatrician appointment, everything melted away and we were together again, she became loving again, we shared bringing up our child, but I began to lose touch with all my family, including my friends, anything I would do or plan to do would cause an insane amount of friction.
Through this time we did our best to be close, but the lies never stopped, and I completely began to lose my sense of self. There were times when my daughter would be completely weaponized, used as a pawn to control me, I slowly began isolating myself from just about anyone but my daughter and the Mother. We would have an argument, could be anything, big or small, and instantly I'd be disregarded, no communication, no texts, no calls, no responses. Then we would get together and she would show me love and kindness, and I'd be hooked again. This on and off pattern lasted a good 6 years. I still struggle thinking about how dark some of those days were, and I've never strayed or abandoned my daughter. She's the light of my life, just has 2 parents that can't seem to live peacefully together.
Forward to now, just a few months ago we talked and decided it would be best to part and focus on co-parenting. The 1st month was great, we were cordial to each other during pick ups and drop offs, but we stopped both putting our child to bed together. If she had her I used to always go over and put her to bed, read books, bathe, etc and she would for the most part so the same when I have my daughter. We stopped that, as when my daughter did fall asleep that's when we would connect, quite often it was just sexual, looking back it was like giving a dog a bone, it was void of true intimacy, it was just enough to keep things balanced in an odd way, it became the only affection I came to know.
This entire time, regardless of our status, whenever we were with other people she was a gem, she always would bring gifts even if not necessary, always be extremely affectionate towards me, basically playing a part.
Here's an example, I got sick one evening, some sort of food poisoning, it got bad enough where I had to go to the hospital and be treated in a bed from early morning until evening. This happened to fall on a night we had planned a "date" night. She came to the hospital to pick me up, my parents were there and she was as sweet as you could imagine, as soon as I got discharged and we were driving home, now just the two of us, she flipped on me for ruining our date. She bought tickets to a show, and she was recklessly pissed off and as mean as one could imagine, and I was still sick, she ended up storming out of my place.
These kinds of situations became normal, and a nonstop cycle of on again/off again partners became the norm.
I'm getting long winded now, but I'll come back to the present. After about a month of just co-parenting and coming to terms with ending any sort of romantic relationship, and being cordial to one another, she started reminiscing about our past, sharing pictures of happy times with my daughter and us together, pictures of just her and I, messages of love, how she misses me, will always love me, all these things, and I opened the door again. This was days before she worked be leaving for a "yoga retreat" and I would have my daughter. Needless to say, those 4 days there was no more communication, not even with my daughter. The 1st communication on a Sunday morning was about being together again, and now sentiments of love.
This has since happened 2 more times, always surrounded by secrecy, even if it directly affects my daughter, which it has. Come to find out she was never away, "out of town" she was just down the road at an Airbnb with some guy that flies in from out of state, she told me all this and actually said how much I would like him, and that this guy would love to meet me, and at the same time maintaining how much she still loves me.
This coming week my daughter and her are taking their first "vacation" without me involved. I was completely fine with this, expressing how I first had mixed feelings, only because my daughter has never really traveled without me and her Mother, but came to terms with it and even started suggesting places to show her, a beach to check out, dolphins in these waters, manatees here etc. The guy she's been seeing at random airbnbs lives in the state they are flying too
It's just thrown me for such a loop. I haven't truly trusted her for a while for good reasons, lots of lies, and complete disregard for any prior planned commitments, but this just feels out of the park, and has me feeling like an emotional weakling. Yesterday I responded to an email saying "I just need to process some of this stuff and not communicate unless it has to do with our daughter", the response was crazy, completely shitting on me as a person on how much I've wronged her and how I never cared for her and all this stuff. My reply was you are right, I'm sorry, I've been having trouble letting go, but I'm now ready too, let's focus on being the best we can be for our daughter.
Instant reply of what a great father I am, how I've always been there, how much my daughter loves me and counts down the days to when I have her. How sorry she is that she treated me poorly, etc. It's all just nuts, and I can't simply not communicate, and I'm so confused as to why I'm feeling so hurt by all this stuff while I recognize the healthiest thing I can do for myself is truly let go. I have so many mixed emotions I can't even think about dating, or even chilling with someone new. I'm all over the place, mainly sad, it's so confusing.
Apologies for such a long winded post, may not even make clear sense, just let my "swipe" keyboard go nuts for a bit
Hope you are all well!

• Species: house cat • Age: 4 • Sex/Neuter status: female, neutered • Breed: European short haimixed • Body weight: 7kg • History: adopted at 4 months old from an animal welfare • Clinical signs: bloody soft stool, poos on carpet/bed/bathmat but also still uses litter box, she has tartar on her teeth and inflammation and her gums • Duration: over a year already • Your general location: Germany • Links to test results, vet reports, X-rays etc.
Hello everyone, thank you in advance! Our eldest (let’s call her A) developed a habit about a year ago where she started to poop on our bath mats, these escalated to the carpet and then unfortunately to one of our beds (it’s always the same bed). The poop is nearly always bloody in varying degrees. We saw several vets already but all seemed to not be sure what it could be. She also has inflammation on her gums and tartar on her teeth. We don’t know if it’s connected. We had to cancel/reschedule every dental restoration appointment for her since the vets didn’t put her under barcode while she still had blood in her poop. We don’t know any family history of diseases since she was found(?) by the sanctuary and she seems to be a mix of unknown breeds but definitely European short hair. She is very large and muscular but not chubby or overweight. The test and measurements the vets have taken so far are: 2x blood test 2x stool test Ultrasound Hypoallergenic Food: (Royal Canine dry food and concept kangaroo wet food) Special digestion food ( Hill‘s i/d) And right now: hypoallergenic food ( hill‘s z/d)
So far nothing has helped at all and unfortunately the problem is escalating more and more. While at the beginning she only pooped bloody on the carpet once a week she now poops bloody several times a day outside of the litter box and also pees on the same areas. She also still uses the litter boxes regularly.
We have three cats. A, then P (female/4) who we adopted together since they were best friends at the animal shelter, and M (male/1) who we got summer last year. They are all neutered and strictly inside cats only. They do have access to a gated balcony when the weather is warm.
I am really scared that something is extremely wrong with A and we will find out when it’s too late. We love her so much and the thought of her being in pain is just too much.
A is a extremely smart and sensitive cat and at the same time very stubborn so giving her medication is always a huge ordeal. She is the matriarch of the little herd she has here. She always licks the heads of the other two and very patient with all of us. She usually gets some of my food when it’s cat safe (unseasoned meat) or we cook her different meats (chicken, salmon, beef) as a little extra treat. Maybe that might have been a problem?We didn’t do that since we had to start the food regiment and it still didn’t help.
I don’t know how to upload pictures here but there were tiny white dots in her poop just an hour ago.
Thank you so much in advance!

Backstory:
August 2023 during a very windy week I went to the ER from a headache in my nose that was “worst ive ever had” level bad. No aura, just DPDR while looking at my hands. They gave me a ketorolac coctail and my symptoms subsided. CT clear but was not frontal.
Cue the worst health year of my life from then until present day.
Was diagnosed after much trial and error with “sinusitis” even though my primary symptoms were left side only sinus pain and malaise akin to a minor flu (but debilitating) I even got banned from the sinusitis subreddit because the mod said I didn’t have sinusitis, because of my atypical presentation- but the only thing that stops the pain is an intranasal steroid spray once daily- the treatment for sinusitis. Occasionally have breakthrough pain and malaise that I manage with ibuprofen or CBD. I waited months to see an ENT hoping that it was a structural issue causing the pain. His conclusion was that I likely am having some swelling from an environmental factor (allergen) and it causes a nerve issue. I don’t have trigeminal neuralgia and he says it’s unlikely I have a neurological issue. I tried to bring up the possibility of fungus etc and he was dismissive. He didn’t scope very far up my nose, and my pain is on the bridge of my nose and into my inner eyebrow. He also didnt see a need for surgery and told me to continue on the nasal spray until I had comprehensive allergy testing done (which I have not yet)
Additional info:
Mold specialist removed minor mold in my house in 2023. Lived in mold house since 2020
One covid infection April 2023
History of Neuropathy (Allodynia) since 2022 (and other autoimmune issues that make me suspect MCAS)
Deviated septum that narrows the airway on my left side from an injury in 2012
Humidifier worsens pain
Have tried johnsons baby shampoo and xylitol saline rinses but they exacerbated the issue (moisture seems to be a problem) im willing to continue though
I see a naturopath

Im on a low sugar gluten free diet

This has def been discussed, but I have yet to see it all in one place. I’ve compiled a list of all the times Drake either 1. Compliments Kendrick or 2. Disses himself from First Person Shooter through THE HEART PART 6. It’s crazy how obvious Drake’s envy over Kendrick’s artistry is fully on display. It’s giving jealous bully classmate tbh.

Every time Drake thought he was dissing Kendrick but really he was just relentlessly complimenting him:

Taylor Made Freestyle

• Tupac (AI)
  • Kendrick, we need ya, the West Coast savior
    • Engraving your name in some hip-hop history
    • If you deal with this viciously
    • You seem a little nervous about all the publicity
    • Fuck this Canadian lightskin, Dot
    • We need a no-debated West Coast victory, man
    • Call him a bitch for me (done)
• Snoop Dogg (AI)
  • Nephew, what the fuck you really 'bout to do?
    • We passed you the torch at the House of Blues
    • And now you gotta do some dirty work,
    • You know how to move, right? Right? (absolutely)
• Drake
  • You better have a motherfuckin’ quintuple entendre on that shit
    • Some shit I don’t even understand, like
    • That shit better be crazy (corny af; I cannot believe Aubrey meant this as a diss, bro is straight up telling Kendrick that he is more lyrically gifted)

Family Matters

• Always rappin’ like you ‘bout to get the slaves freed (so…with passion?)
• Kendrick just opened his mouth, someone go hand him a Grammy right now (Drake Grammy wins: 5, Kendrick Grammy wins: 17)
• They shook about what I’ma say, but textin’ your phone like “We already won” (they did)

THE HEART PART 6

• The Pulitzer Prize winner is definitely spiralin’ (Grammy diss pt 2)
• Instead you in that Venice studio, it’s a celebration (“We already won” pt. 2)

Every time Drake thought he was dissing Kendrick but really he was just relentlessly dissing himself:

First Person Shooter

• I search one name and end up seein’ twenty tings (sounds uncannily like “20 teens”)
• Will they ever give me flowers? Well, of course not (oof)
• They know The Boy, the one they gotta boycott (self-own)

Push Ups

• I’m out in Tokyo because I’m big in Japan (he will need to move to Japan after all of this is said and done)
• What’s a prince to a king? He a son, ni**a (proceeds to diss MJ in Family Matters)
• Drop and give me fifty, all you fuck ni**as teamin’ up (“Why are you all picking on me?”)
• What top five you smokin’ on, Kendrick? (cornyyyyyy)

Push Ups + Family Matters

• I was really, really tryna keep it PG (those are the only movies the girls he likes can see)

Taylor Made Freestyle

• Ni**as usually send they verses back to me and they be terrible, just like a two-year-old (“Yes I am such a prolific writer that other rappers send their verses to me and I can tell when they are good or bad I do not have ghostwriters of any kind at all no sir not me.”)

Family Matters

• You mentioned my seed, now deal with his dad (he did not publicly claim Adonis until eight months after his birth)
• You better have some paperwork or that shit fake tea (in retrospect of the MTG cover)
• I mean it’s true a ni**a slimed me for my AP (self-own)
• Say you hate the girls a fuck, but what you really mean? (girls =/= women; Kendrick had not mentioned the pedophilia allegations at this point yet)
• Ni**a said “Uh, uh,” almost started reachin’ for my waist (...bro; can be interpreted as reaching for a gun or his dick)
• Ozempic got a side effect of jealousy and doctor never told y’all ni**as (I cannot believe this came out of his mouth knowing he has an Ozempic prescription; this was before the MTG cover dropped)
• Which one of my so-called ni**as need a shell from the clip? (admitting to the OVO mole)
• Ross callin’ me the white boy and the shit kind of got a ring to it (self-own)
• A cease and desist is for hoes (this man literally pulled a C&D on French Montana and possibly/probably “Like That”)
• You called the Tupac estate and begged ‘em to sue me and get that shit down (because that C&D actually had footing)

THE HEART PART 6

• [Sample: Now let me see ya prove it] (self-own, especially in light of the MTG cover)
• The ones that you’re getting your stories from, they all clowns
  • [4 lines later] We plotted for a week, and then fed you the information (self-explanatory)
• I am a war general, seasoned in preparation
  • My jacket is covered in medals, honor, and decoration (this is a RAP battle, Aubrey)
• The Epstein angle was the shit I expected (Kendrick never mentioned Epstein)
• Aw, fuck me, I just made the whole connection (he didn’t)
• I don’t wanna diss you anymore, this really got me second-guessin’ (he misunderstood the entire verse he just rapped)
• If I was fucking young girls, I promise I’d have been arrested ("I was fucking young girls, I promise")
• Drake is not a name that you gon’ see on no sex offender list (...okay Aubrey -__-)
• You mentionin’ A minor, but ni**as gotta B sharp and tell the fans, “Who was it?”
  • You thought you left D flat, D major (cornyyy)
• Only fuckin’ with Whitneys, not Millie Bobby Browns (Kendrick never mentioned MBB)
• I give a fuck about your streamin’ data (he really does)
• I don’t wanna fight with a woman beater, it feeds your nature (calling himself a woman; “When I see you stand by Sexxy Red, I believe you see two bad bitches”)
• I’m not gonna lie, this shit was some good exercise, like [sucks in air]
  • It’s good to get out, get the pen workin’ (corny, also fitting that one of the only times we can be certain Aubrey wrote the entire track himself, it’s basically one big self-diss)

Hope this helps some people who are first time cruisers. The place to be is in the middle of the ship. The entire back of the ship vibrates and it gets worst the lower the deck you’re in. The front of the ship is where you’re going to feel more the motion of the ocean.
As first time cruisers and not having any knowledge of this, my wife booked us deck 2 cabin 2146. After the excitement of booking the cruise wore off, I got curious, room 2146 is the closes to the engines, so it’s always vibrating, which you really don’t feel till you sit down or lay down, but it kinda rocks you to sleep, besides you’re going be so tired at the end of each day you’re going to be as sleep before it even bothers you. However, room 2146 is also right above the propellers, or very close to it, and when the ship is docking it feels like you’re sitting on top of the washing machine while it’s on the spin cycle! My wife and kids that sleep like rocks never felt it, but me on the other hand got woken up every day we arrived at a port.
I also read other comments that the room smelled like sewage. That wasn’t the case, I do assume the kitchen for all the restaurants are on deck 2 and every now and then we would get this what I would describe as onions and garlic being sauté in butter, for those of you who cook.

I was sexually abused by my friend’s brother. He died today after being unconscious for days after a vehicular accident.
I am usually the empathetic kind of friend but since his accident happened I couldn’t get myself to even check on my friend. My friend is the sweetest, funniest, and one of the hardest working persons I’ve known. A breadwinner. I can only imagine the financial, emotional burden she’s going through right now. But also, all I could think about is what happened that night..
I woke up with a hand on top of my belly. Thought it is just one of my friends probably unintentionally hugging me. Until the hand found its way to my breast, and carressed it. I froze, trying to figure out who it was. Not knowing what to do and trying not to cause a scene, I opened my phone so that person would know that I’m awake and is aware what he’s trying to do. I faced the other side and swayed his hand. He continued to touch my butt - this time I was already booking a ride home - he put his hand inside my pants and tried navigating it towards the front. That’s when I immediately stormed out of the room still lights off and headed outside of their house to wait for my ride.
My entire body was still shaking trying to wrap my head around about what just happened. Suddenly I heard the gate opened and there he was, my predator showed his face - my friend’s brother. I rushed back and stayed in their garage where I found my friend sleeping. Ready to wake her up in case her brother approaches me. Luckily he didn’t, but I can feel his gaze towards me as he passed by to go back inside the house. I arrived home and bursted out crying.
Learning about his accident, all it reminded me was how scared I was that night. Until now I can’t imagine that the last guy who touched me did so without my consent. I am still very disgusted with myself.
I never got to tell my friend about what happened. But I am hopeful that his death will finally give me my peace. I’m still finding the courage to visit the wake, I’m just not sure if I can.
To you, may you burn in hell and not rest in peace.

He's been my FIL for 5+ years... Definitely drank the Q Kool Aid, and moved from Facebook to TruthSocial after he decided he was "being silenced" on Facebook. The typical Alt Right 65+ Boomer.
Fast forward to yesterday when we were out fishing. He usually is a great talker and we can talk about everything except sex, religion, and politics.
All of a sudden, he starts going off about this "Asian doctor Yang" and "OF COURSE ITS AN ASIAN! CAN'T HAVE A WHITE DOCTOR THESE DAYS!!"
It spiraled from there. "The son of a bitch thinks he's so smart but can barely speak our language!! His accent is horrible. How is he supposed to be a doctor like that?!"
Then he starts going off about about a new and different woman doctor, with the last name of Liu. He then mocked the name by calling her "Loo Loo" or "Loony Toons." Never met the woman in his life and his appointment was scheduled for today.
I challenged him both times saying that this isn't okay and is pretty racist. Que the "It's not racist because insert reasons here"
Today he texted me: "Guess what!? Dr Liu wasn't Asian! She's a tall white lady. I bet she still married one of those Asian Types though! That's not a white woman's last name!!!"
I'm shocked... and needless to say won't be fishing with him again anytime soon. I knew he's been crazy for a while, but now pretty blatantly racist on top of it.
I'm sick to my stomach and so is my wife. Has anybody else watched a formerly normal and loving Boomer spiral into conspiracies and racism? It's so sad...
