it bothers me so much on how the lead up to that day she knew what i was gonna do, i had been struggling for years , hinting that i needed help, showed her my scars but she did nothing im only alive now because i had amazing friends that convinced me not to take more pills that night , whereas my mum knew , she was behind the door telling me to do it. When the police arrived she said it was all a lie and that i didn’t need any help and that i was only faking, what if i did take enough? what if i did die? the weeks after weren’t any better i don’t wanna burden anyone else with my mental problems anymore and it’s been eating away at me so letting it out to strangers is better

made a Tennoji osaka apartment booking off booking.com the other day. got there, decent place, separate shower toilet, deep bath, sat in the room and drank beer. browsed the intraweb and my recent online credit card statement. there were two new charges from another major travel booking site, let’s call it Ted, for about the same price give or take a few yen that I paid for the tennoji spot. hadn’t used Ted in 5 months though. it set off fire bells. I moved to nara on another booking.com booking in the meantime. it was a typical business hotel with no separate shower toilet. the next morning a third payment from Ted came through. I found Ted’s complaints site off Reddit. You can usually find stuff like this quicker on Reddit than anywhere else off the net. Nice one for that, Reddit 👍 I mailed Ted and within minutes I got semi-automatic shitty responses from Jill and Pradat and John asking for my Ted booking number, well duh, there’s no fucking Ted booking number that’s why I’m belling you guys. I got off the iPad, pulled a hundred grand out from the nearest atm and cancelled my credit card. it started raining hard ( yesterday ) grim cold May rain. I called up SMBC, my bank. they said a new card wouldn’t be sent automatically to my address after I cancelled which is contrary to what they said on the internet when I did it. I really need a card asap. so I went to nara SMBC branch in the pissing rain. a middle-aged broad at the door, with a mask on and eyes that communicated she’d dealt with too much of life’s shit already said credit cards and cc fraud weren’t their problem. I went back to the business hotel with no separate shower toilet and called SMBC again, spoke to a helpful lady, then went back to nara SMBC at her instruction in the pissing rain. Nara got on the boat this time and a new card is being sent to my Tokyo address as we speak. one hopes. the next day a nice lady from the SMBC fraud department came through on the phone with a very clear and affirmative voice.. perfect English, straight to the point, syrupy voice, intelligent, some bonafide jason borne executive clearance on my part. she said, “we will cancel these charges, don’t be in any doubt about that. but you won’t be able to use your TED account again, is that ok ?” “Yes that’s more than fine.” “Ok good, that’s all for now then,” she said, “goodbye. “
It wasn’t even Ted’s fault, it’s some advanced scamming shit crawling through our web at pace so do be careful , again,

I have a 9k BTU mini split that's taking care of my 2 car garage in Las Vegas that I installed back in 2018. It's vastly undersized. The online calculator told me to get a 36k BTU mini split. It's kinda surprising I need a 3 ton unit for a 2 car garage, but the online calculator can't be wrong.
Anyway, I need something that can cool down the garage fast and I think a 3 ton mini split can do just that. I can turn it on when I need to. My current 9k BTU unit takes literally days to hit a setpoint of 75.
I have the condenser in the side of my house. It's not so big and it's kinda hidden behind a bush. The 3 ton unit I want to get has a condenser that's twice as big. My HOA will send me a letter if they see it.
I want to run a PVC conduit along the side of my house to hide the lineset. Maybe a 1-1/2" PVC, around 60 feet going into my backyard to where the new 3 ton condenser will be sitting. I've never seen or heard anyone do this before. Any thoughts or concerns? The lineset will be around 60 feet long, the unit will probably be 410A and they come with 12 feet of lineset, so I'll have to add another 50 feet or so. I still have half a jug of 410A left in my garage I can add to make up.
Any ideas, thoughts or concerns will be greatly appreciated. Just to add, I am an HVAC tech but only for an apartment complex.

I do genuinely mean this, I have logic behind this. If you consider it flawed or wrong, I understand, but there is logic. When I grew up, I had traditional TV show role models. You know like Miss Frizzle, Sid the Science Kid, Ruff Ruffman, those guys. However, when I got older and started using the internet, what really inspired me was online only content. Tim and Moby, CGP Grey, I watched the whole of "Fetch!" online because I didn't know it was on TV.
ANYWAYS, the reason I bring this up is because I wonder if memes might become just as well known as TV Stars. Gen Alpha knows all about memes, having grown up with them, so it's likely they've been exposed to the GigaChad meme. But a lot of GigaChad memes actually do have a positive message. Like helping people at the gym and encouraging them rather than belittling. Acknowledging the pros and cons of either side of a debate, rather than "picking a team" and blindly following. Including people in their hobbies and teaching them rather than gatekeeping. The person behind the meme himself is actually a pretty humble guy. I can see a case being made for GigaChad/Chad-like memes being a lot like Mr. Rodgers and how he taught to be a good person.
However, I also know a lot of memes show Gigachad in a negative light, and show him to be more malicious. Rather than showing how to be a good person, there are memes where being actively being a menace is seen as a good thing. It's also used for gatekeepers, showing fat and unhealthy versions of GigaChad or a soyjak to show what's "bad." Then under the soyjak is what is "good" and then a Chad.
So can you see where I'm coming from? Can a meme be a source of good role models?

Idk how many of you have watched movie and show analysis' online but I have seen a fair amount of them.
I notice that most men dramatize how scared they were by a character who has a very obvious intention of deception, revenge, stuff like that.
Listening to these guys say " oh man! This guy is so intelligent! He played a few pranks, framed some ppl for it, and it changed the heriarchy of that group!"
As if that's some astonishing realization when it was spoon fed to them in the media depiction...
Anyone else experience this kinda stuff? It is super disappointing when I want to see in-depth conversations on some media and end up with the comprehension of a teenager at best.

Friends, old head here. I'm inspired to run this one shot of an old black and white line drawing from ADnD 1st edition that I can't seem to find online.
It was of a horseback wizard gleefully casting Magic Missile(?) down an alley maybe (?) in front of or near the Green Dragon Inn(?) in a fantasy towne setting.
It couldve been one of the basic or expert sets or a supplement like Rogues Gallery. It wasn't Dee but it was clean like that

So, I've always been a big fan of Fallout 3/NV, really tried to love FO4 but sadly never stuck with me - never dabbled in FO76, but I still love the series and the lore behind it. One of my biggest soft spots for the series are the super mutants/FEV stuff.
I absolutely adored the designs and approach of the super mutants in 3/NV, and quite honestly I was pretty disappointed by how much the creepy/scary factor was dialed down for that strain of super mutants in FO4/76. From what seemed to be a very brief glimpse at a wanted poster of a super mutant in the TV show, seems like the art direction is continuing with the big grumpy green guy aesthetic rather than the freakish hulking demon design of FO3/NV.
How would you guys like to see the super mutants treated in the future, whether in the TV show or another game (ehh albeit said future instalment would likely come along in like 2035 or something)? I feel like the creepy body horror elements have slowly gone away and I think I'd like to see some of that again!

Hi Reddit,
I'm in need of some advice regarding my current marital situation and the potential sale of our home. To give you the full picture, I'll start from the beginning. Apologies for the length, but I feel all the details are necessary to understand the context.
I (29F) met my husband (40M) on Tinder four years ago. We dated for about eight months when my family had an opportunity to purchase a property. My then-boyfriend was also looking to be involved in a business deal of that sort, and he was interested in having his name on the property as well. My father supported this, seeing as how my boyfriend was a physician with a good income, and saw this as a way to bring him closer to our family. The opportunity came quickly, and we all signed the contract to purchase the house.
Trouble began shortly after this. My boyfriend requested that only he and I be on the title of the house, removing the rest of my family, as he saw a future with us and envisioned it as our potential family home. My father was very pleased to hear this and supported it, so we obliged. During this time, the property had increased in value, and I requested the other family members be paid off so we could buy out their shares. My boyfriend declined, feeling it was unfair.
To skim over some details, here are the highlights of the construction: My boyfriend paid more for the down payment than we initially realized would be required. Because of this, he paid no further construction costs. The construction proceeded with debt from my family until the construction loans came through. My family paid for the construction, and my father built the house for us without charging for his management services. My father was displeased with my boyfriend’s behavior and required him to pay more money for the construction due to inflation and the COVID shutdown. My boyfriend declined, and my mother and I secretly took out a line of credit to front the construction costs to my father, pretending it was from my boyfriend. Eventually, as we got the construction loans on a rolling basis after meeting construction milestones, my mother’s line of credit was paid off.
During this time, my family and I wondered why my boyfriend had not proposed. I decided that if he hadn't proposed by a certain time, I would leave him. Fortunately, he did propose on Valentine’s Day 2022. By spring of 2022, construction was coming to an end, and it was time for us to settle into the house. My fiancé felt uncomfortable with how much money he had put into the house and was worried I could leave him and make a profit. I promised him I wouldn’t leave him, but it wasn’t enough. He said he would believe me if I had a child with him, otherwise women would leave men if there were no ties. I told him I would have a child with him right when we got married. He suggested I come off birth control, as it takes months for a woman’s cycle to normalize after being on birth control for many years. I promised him I would come off birth control.
Coming off birth control was more stressful than I realized. I was very hormonal, breaking out, and felt unlike myself. This contributed to my fiancé and I fighting more than usual. In one particularly heated fight, I told him I would go back on birth control and even purchased the pills, but he told me he would break up with me if I did because he wanted to get to know the real me. I conceded, and then something switched in me and I became excited at the possibility of having a baby. I started tracking my cycle and figuring out my ovulation days. I shared this with my fiancé, and on one of those days, we got pregnant. I didn’t find out until the end of summer 2022. When I did find out, I told my fiancé and suggested we should probably get married.
My fiancé's first response was that we should wait to see if the baby sticks, and if it does, then we can plan a marriage but he wanted to wait until February 2023. I was very disappointed and angry and yelled at him. I felt alone and overwhelmed by the thought of having an illegitimate child. After discussing potentially getting an abortion, potentially breaking up, and potentially selling the house, I talked my fiancé into keeping the baby and getting married. He also wanted to keep the baby but was afraid of our situation. After many fights about when to have the wedding, we finally decided on December 2022. At that point, I was four months pregnant. During this time, my fiancé and I had major arguments that therapy couldn’t even remedy. We would yell at each other, slam doors, I would cry, and he would hold himself up in a room for hours. We had nice moments too, but they were heavily clouded over by the bad.
Finally, we got married, and things were good for a while. But then we faced some marital problems. My husband kept separate accounts and managed the finances himself. We had a joint credit card where I could pay for expenses without being questioned. He made all of the major investment decisions and major purchases. If I tried to disagree or speak up, he would get upset because this was not the submissive wife I had promised him I would be. I made significantly less money than him but lived a good lifestyle, buying almost anything I wanted within reason. Coming from a traditional family, I was upset that finances were kept separate. And so it continued that my husband would invest tens of thousands of dollars into our house so that his family from out of town would visit. We live in Vancouver, Canada, but his family is from Ottawa. In hopes of luring his youngest sister (of four) to Vancouver, my husband would make any modification to the house that his youngest sister showed the slightest interest in. This included a hot tub on the rooftop, a media system in the basement, a movie projector, and much more. After said sister got married, she made it clear that she would not move to Vancouver. Then a switch happened in my husband, and he suddenly wanted to sell the house.
Meanwhile, during all this time, I had my baby, and my husband and I were still fighting more than ever. I felt no support from him, and he felt drained by his work, our fights, and being away from his family. Recently, for the past three months, he has been consistently pushing for the sale of our house. This is where my dilemma lies. I am afraid to sell this house because my husband has kept finances separate, and the mortgage on this house has been serving as a way for me to feel secure. My husband contributes a monthly amount on a regular basis. He could have forced a sale in the past but didn’t, instead paying into the monthly mortgage on top of other bills. Now, he is considering forcing the sale of our house, but I am upset that he is citing financing as the issue when I have been begging him to save money instead of spending (his response is that $200,000 does not affect a $2M mortgage, and that he now feels burnt out and wants to retire sooner and live passively). If I don’t agree to sell, I feel unstable about moving from our home given that my husband and I fight so frequently, and I am left alone to take care of the child. It is also worth noting that my parents live right across the street and come over frequently to help with the child, or I would go over to seek their help. My husband says that he feels abandoned and uncomfortable frequently because of our proximity to my parents, but I am because there have been times when I felt truly alone, and my parents were my only solace and support. My husband would ignore me for days, especially when I was postpartum and vulnerable. My parents now see my husband as someone who doesn’t put his wife and child first. My husband says that the massive mortgage we have is too stressful for him, and he can’t take that burden. I am sad that my husband will not consider keeping this house for another three years so that I can get comfortable with the idea of selling the house and that potentially I and my family can all move to Ottawa so that we can allow my husband to be closer to his family.
I don’t know what to do at this point, Reddit. I’m currently on extended maternity leave, but it ends in six months. My husband and I will have to come to an agreement about the house, otherwise, it is likely that he will force the sale of the house even if I’m not ready to move. I’ve consistently felt rushed and overlooked in this relationship. I am tired of being the small voice that does not impact decision-making. My husband is now being nice to me and trying to show me a good time, but I see it as him turning on his charming mode so that I can say yes to the sale of this house. I’m not sure what to do. Our fights and disagreements are so bad and the marriage feels like doom sometimes (never any physical violence). I sometimes questions even staying with him, but I worry for my daughter. He is a good father to her, when he is present and off his phone.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading.

Hi, I’ve been recommended to watch the girl next door and I accidentally watched the romcom one. I thought it was like cute at first then will turn horrible towards the end but it was really just a romcom, I kinda liked it but I realized after that it’s actually a different movie with a similar title. It got me curious if there’s movie that no one will suspect as horror because there’s not a hint even at the beginning. Thanks

Place of Origin: ancient Egypt ( from inside the house of the pharaoh) (Moses writes the first 5 books of the Old Testament/Bible) ( adoption of Moses is a fake alibi as to explain why Moses comes from inside the house of the pharaoh)

• (YHWH) Yahweh means I AM, God Yahweh, or substituted God I AM; you’ve been fooled into believing that you are the “ God of the Bible” or rather the “ god of the Bible”, “ god I AM” . ( but more on that later)

Exodus 3:14 God replied to Moses, “ I Am Who I Am . Say this to the people of Israel: I Am has sent me to you.”
I AM has sent me to you, or substituted , I sent my self.
( online bible : biblehub.com ( with various versions of the bible)

• If the Old Testament/Bible is not true, then it is a book of sorcery (more on that later). ( and not even the Jewish religion believes in the New Testament)

Psalm 103:1
Bless Jehovah, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Put simple, God does not need you to bless God.( But more on that later)
Before trusting anything from ancient Egypt, first trust God.
Taking in to consideration, a rational prayer would be prudent:

God, if the Old Testament is not true, I do not believe in it, amen.
God, if the New Testament is not true, I do not believe in it, amen.
God, if the Old Testament is true, I believe in it, amen.
God, if the New Testament is true, I believe in it, amen.

The Old Testament/Bible is not true, if you’re having trouble telling, there is the rational prayer.
Ignorance always says its correct, praying in a rational manner there is no error.
And no offense, but this prayer also applies to your religion, even if its not based on the Old Testament/Bible, just substitute the name of your religion.
Amen = so be it.
Who told you, you cant pray in a rational manner, someone from inside the house of the pharaoh?
2 Chronicles 7:13
13 When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land..."
The fraud Bible boasts of causing drought, drought, which is really bad; I kindly ask you to pray in a rational manner.
Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
According to this verse, not even the clergy understands.
Raise your hand clergy if you accepted this Old Testament/Bible book without reading it all first, if you taught this book without reading it all first.
How are you suppose to assess this Bible book and evaluate it's validity if you don't use education, they are trying to manipulate you; ancient Egypt is trying to manipulate you. And you're going to have to excuse me but, a book from inside the house of the pharaoh asking you to not understand is not normal. Please realize that it says in the Bible book that you do not understand, it is not a little game, it is not a little joke. Consider it for a second, what if it what the Pharaoh who asked you to not understand. What is the extent of the manipulation, usually people join those cults since they are children. A religious book asking people to not understand it typical of cults.
And I hope you understand that God does not need you to bless God.
That should be enough to prove the Bible false, I ask you kindly to share the article, it is very important, the rest of the article are other points of interest, you are welcome to read it at your leisure. Drought is not good.
Other prudent rational prayers:
God, I do not believe in any religion that is false, amen.
God, I believe in you, amen.
God, I do not accept anything from religions that are false via sorcery or blasphemous prayers, amen.

God, I do not accept anything via sorcery or blasphemous prayers, amen.

The original Old Testament is written without vowels, and contains no vowels; this means that technically the original Old Testament does not say God, but G-d ( God written without vowels). The Old Testament is just a book of sorcery, and is not based on God. I repeat, the original Old Testament is written without vowels and is not based on God.
You cannot say it is based on God, because the original Old Testament does not say God, it says G-d; if others added vowels to the derived copies of this Bible book, it would make it a blasphemous book ( but not only that, it would also be a book of sorcery as well).

The original Old Testament contains no vowels or punctuation and cannot be read, the original Old Testament was interpreted; so an interpreted book from inside the house of the Pharaoh says: G-d says to not understand, cause drought and destroy plants. And this book is being given to children. The Old Testament/Bible is not based on God and is false.
So technically, the original Old Testament which is written without vowels or punctuation doesn’t say anything.
Adding vowels and punctuation to the original Old Testament/Torah scroll makes it invalid.
The original Old Testament/Bible is not based on God, but G-d, therefore, the Old Testament/Bible is false. God and G-d are not the same thing.
A little denial is normal, but it is obvious that God does not need you to bless God. Praying in a rational manner there is no error.

Share the article link, educate, suggestions, groups on social media( facebook), news stations( a story where the Pharaoh tricks people into causing drought is of interest to the public. I ask news stations to be impartial, I remind you, the Church is separate from the State).
If this were a fictional movie, you would have already seen it at the box office, I know you love fictional movies.
You can call it “Mummy 4 the time I loved drought and complained about it, a lot.
You played with a book from inside the house of the Pharaoh, that’s what happened.
Feel free to share the article with your local church, and not so local church ( email, Instagram message, facebook message).
Copy and paste the following to share article:
S.O.S MOST IMPORTANT NEWS RIGHT NOW!! Article “Origin of the Bible”, Bible False, originally from ancient Egypt, from inside house of pharaoh. RESPONSIBLE for DROUGHT. EMERGENCY.
share article,
make it viral
( paste article link here)
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Please don’t be the typical cult, if a book is false, then it can be proved false, there is the rational prayer.
Important Message: Discovery Bible originally from inside the house of the Pharaoh. I repeat, Discovery Bible originally from inside the house of the Pharaoh. Bible False, Important. Contact the Church. Drought is not a laughing matter. The destruction of plants is not a laughing matter.
If the Old Testament/Bible were false, how long should it take to be known. Drought is not good.
Note: Is it valid to pray in a rational manner? That’s a rhetorical question, of course it is valid to pray in a rational manner.
If you say no, it is not valid to pray in a rational manner, who benefits? Only corruption.
Bonus:
Prayer( as mentioned before, not even the Jewish religion believes in the New Testament, the New Testament is not validated by the Jewish Religion):
God, if the New Testament is true, then Jesus is the son of God, amen.
According to this prayer, you cant accuse one of anything.
I declare the Old Testament/Bible void and obsolete; it should take a year, plus or minus for it to be known. Someone “famous” ties their shoe and everyone knows in 5 days. If the Bible were false, how long should it take to be known. Drought is not good. Dec/15/2020.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Note: Apocrypha books, unvalidated books added to the Roman Catholic Bible.
Prudent prayer: God, if the Roman Catholic Bible is not true, I do not believe in the Roman Catholic Bible, amen.

A peaceful protest would be good, the Roman Empire and ancient Egypt should be exposed for their corruption.
Note: The religion of Islam ( Abrahamic religion, but not validated by the Jewish religion) is based on the Old Testament, if the Old Testament is false, then the religion of Islam is false.
The Mormon religion/book of Mormon, is an Abrahamic religion, but is not validated by the Jewish or Christian religion.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

If the Old Testament/Bible turned out to be false, what is the protocol, what is the plan? Is it to continue to cause drought due to a book from ancient Egypt? So there is no plan by the Church, that is not very responsible of the Church. Contact the Church, pray in a rational manner.

This is nothing personal, people sometimes make mistakes. If by error, you accidentally joined a false religion, how are you going to separate yourself from such false religion? Very simple, a simple prayer:
God, I do not believe in any religion that is false, thank you.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It would be good to make a Religion that is based on God.
God refers to the Creator of Life and the Universe.
This Religion based on God is not an Abrahamic Religion, and is not based on the Old Testament.
The word God is not exclusive of Judaism ( Old Testament G-d) or Christianity.
It would be good to make a Religion that prays and gives thanks to God, God is good.
It would be good to have a place to share good things, a place to share friendship.
No Religious book should promote the destruction of plants or cause drought.
God, I believe in you, thank you.
Creator of the Universe and Life, I believe in you.
God forgives us.
I ask God for forgiveness.
I thank God.

-Theology refers to the study of God.( Theology is not exclusive of Judaism or Christianity).
I ask Theologians to be impartial, not understanding is not accepted in Theology. There is the rational prayer.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It’s a not common case, this prayer should not offend you:
God, I do not believe in any religion that is false, thank you.
Amen = so be it. thank you = thank you

I did not want this to be a lesson, a forest fire, a disaster. But as I close my eyes and I find you in my memories, I find that you only exist there— What I wanted to see you as– What /I/ wanted to see. How foolish of me.
Perhaps I built all of you up entirely, each glance was nothing more than an agreement of humans. And it burns my heart to think about it really, just about you wanting someone else, someone who isn't me. To think that I wasn't anything to you– I mean, I don't know what we were, but I miss it.
With tears spilling from my cheeks and the silence of your voice, I untye the red thread that you had around me, yours unraveling too. –
"I need to let go," she sighs, and her stomach tightens as they smile sadly to one another. Eyes meeting. Green to brown, brown to green. Searching for permission but never responding with answers. He had always felt so warm and familiar, solid and safe she thought.
His eyes had once stolen away all of her words when the first met, and now they had again.
Maybe we'll meet in 10 years at that coffee shop down the road? Start over? A thought. But it never left her lips and he waited patiently anyway, almost like he was thinking the same thing she was and all while the sun is setting slowly behind them. A wave is the last wink she'll get. And then it's like he never existed.
– You are not mine to have, but I will think of you often.
Until the next life, all the love of me, the moon and the in-between will await you. I just can't tug on the thread any longer. I'm sorry. It's been long overdue.

This is a really long story with lots of context so I'll do my best to organize it into current situation, then his backstory and hers. I'm also not using real names or specific locations for any of this to try and keep this private. This also has some contradicting stories and because of how their relationship is structured relies mostly on information I have gotten from my sister, so I'm telling you the story I got from her first and then adding in what I've found out. I'll try to tell this as unbiased as I can but it's been a huge issue in my family for a long time now and that's a little difficult for me to do.
My (20F) sister (Olivia, 24F) has been dating this guy (Trevor, 25M) since 2021. When they started dating, she talked about him fairly often, sent a few pictures of them, ect., but then after a month she stopped mentioning him/ was cagey when we (me and my mom mostly) asked how he was so we assumed it just hadn't worked out. Then two months later she insisted that my parents (54F and 56M) and I all come to visit her college to meet Trevor before he went into the Army (she lived several hours away from my parents and several hours from my college, so I had to get a bus ticket and my parents had to get a hotel room to do this. We only met him once for dinner). Now they've been dating long distance for three years after a three month in-person relationship. She is in nursing school and is planning on moving across the country (literally opposite corners of the map) to live with him and is not applying to any residency programs outside of the Army base area (limiting her choices a LOT from her original goals and narrowing employment opportunities).
Olivia met Trevor on several dating apps, matched with him, but didn't really want to go out with him. He was really persistent, so her friend convinced her to go out with him. She lied about the way they met to our parents and told them they met at the gym through a mutual friend (she lied to me about this at first too and told me the truth about 3 months after they started dating). At the time, Trevor was working as a used car salesman and living at home (~45 min. away from Olivia's school in a rural area) because his sports scholarship had been dropped before his Senior year due to covid at the college he had been attending out of state. The university was unaccredited (I later did some internet stalking and found out it was accredited), so his credits would not transfer and he would have to start over. He was saving up money to attend school in state at the large college Olivia attended so he could go back to school. **Our state has crazy low tuition costs in-state and a full-tuition scholarship program for good high school GPA and SAT scores. There was also a "feeder" community college that had half the cost per credit hour that a lot of people would go to before the larger university if they didn't get in straight out of high school.**
Olivia told me that Trevor had applied to her college and not gotten in (she later told me he HAD gotten in but been unable to afford tuition). Either way, he decided to join the Army because his father had been in the Army. The Army would take his credit hours and he would be able to finish his degree during his 5 year contract or use the GI bill once he got out. **She is comparing the situation to our father, who joined the Army directly out of high school and used the GI bill to go to college after his 2 year contract because his parents wouldn't pay for school. He was a medic in the military, worked as an EMT through college, and then went to nursing school.** The original plan was that Trevor would be a Green Beret (special forces), he completed basic training and and got several months through training and moved to the secondary base in NC before failing the running portion of a physical by about 10 seconds and being dropped from the selection process. He then decided that he wanted to be a Ranger (another elite position). He got sent back to GA, then to the Ranger school base in WA (it took a couple of months before he was sent to WA). Again, he got partway through the training before failing the running portion of a physical by a few seconds. He is now not sure if he will be continuing Ranger school (failing the physical means no, but commanders may pass him anyways if they think he should continue). For a while, Trevor told Olivia that he might not stay at the base in WA if he wasn't in Ranger school and there were a variety of different bases he could be sent to, including somewhere in Italy, so she wasn't sure where to look for jobs. In the past month, Trevor told Olivia that he would likely stay in WA regardless of the Ranger school results.
Through this all, Olivia has visited Trevor at the different military bases countless times, driving from as far as south FL to NC and putting over 30,000 miles on a brand new car over the course of the 1.5 years she's owned it. Before she had the car, she paid for plane tickets to see him and hotels whenever she visited. At the time, she told me that he was paying for all of these trips because he was unable to visit her, was making an income that wasn't being spent, and she was working to save for nursing school and later was living off of student loans and savings during nursing school. She later admitted to me that she had paid for almost all of the expenses except for food when they ate out together and part of a hotel room one weekend.
A few odd things (to me) between Olivia and Trevor over the course of their relationship:
About a month into their relationship, Trevor got Olivia an over $300 christmas gift. He has not gotten her anything nearly that expensive since, and hasn't sent flowers for things like her college graduation or a severe emergency surgery she had last year. I don't care about monetary value or sending flowers, but I do think it is odd that he spent so much before moving away when he ostensibly didn't have much money, but now that he has an income and military sign-on bonus, he has not spent that much again.
Trevor's father left Trevor, his siblings, and his mother, but Trevor has a hat that his father gave him that he wore often. The hat says "Red Man" across the top of a picture of a Native American man wearing a feathered headdress. He has worn this hat several times around Olivia's friends and they told him they didn't like it and that it was racist. They also asked him to not wear it when he was with them and he refused because it was special to him and his father gave it to him. Olivia then told him to stop wearing it and he eventually agreed (Olivia told me that he stopped wearing the hat after this). A few weeks after this, I facetimed Olivia and Trevor was with her. She turned the camera so I could say hello to him, and he was wearing the hat. I talked to Olivia about this later and she told me that that was the first time he'd worn the hat in a while and it wasn't a big deal. Olivia has always been liberal and never racist, and I am uncomfortable that she was okay with him not only wearing the hat, but being with him while he had it on.
They dated for a little over 3 months in person before he joined the military (recently, Olivia told me that they actually met several months before she told everyone about him and that they actually dated for 6 months before he left). For the next two months in basic training, he was only able to use the phone for 15 minutes total once a week to talk to family and her. Throughout the different training programs he has completed he had sporadic and limited access to phones to communicate, and only in the past 6 months he has had access to his phone to facetime, text, and call (but sometimes he goes for a week or two without phone access). Olivia told me that they wrote letters during the time he didn't have consistent phone access. **I don't think that this is odd, I understand the military limits phone usage, etc., but I don't think they have been able to have an "average" long-distance relationship**
Last year, Olivia drove to GA to visit Trevor the weekend before Valentine's day. He had plans for them to take a pottery class, go on a hike, and have dinner at a nice restaurant. The day she got there, Trevor's barracks had their off-base privileges revoked because one of the guys had contraband. She would still be able to visit him on base though. Somehow, Trevor was able to get off base for long periods of time to her hotel, but unable to do the other activities he had planned for them.
In the past year, Olivia told me that she and Trevor were going to immediately marry when she got to WA so that they could move in together because they had to be married to live together anywhere. I and our dad- who was in the military- told her several times that this was not true, but she insisted it was. Then, his barracks were given an allowance to live off base in apartments because the barracks were being renovated/ rebuilt, so she backed off on the idea of getting married immediately after several long conversations with me. She is still insistent on moving in with Trevor, who lives with a roommate, when she moves to WA.
Some background on Olivia:
Olivia has ADHD and anxiety, and struggled particularly badly with the anxiety/ some depression after being broken up with by the boyfriend she dated before Trevor (he broke it off very abruptly, told her he just didn't love her anymore with no previous indications). Olivia is very pretty (objectively, not just because she's my sister), but had bad acne that she ended up going on accutane for at the time she started dating Trevor and was very insecure about it. She had also decided to not go to medical school, and pursue nursing instead around the same time she met Trevor. This was a very upsetting decision for her because she had been taking very hard courses and was burnt out but had told everyone she was going to be a doctor and thought that she would be letting us down by switching paths. Also around the time she started seeing Trevor, Olivia began being very cruel towards our mother (our mother had been borderline emotionally abusive in the past, but Olivia and I were both in college by then and fixing our relationships with her. She has been much better recently and Olivia and I believe that she had some mental health struggles that went unchecked that contributed). Now, several years later, Olivia told our family that she had acted like that because she was rpd by a friend of her ex-boyfriend's after her ex broke up with her. This person also gave her an STD.
I always believe people who say they have been S A'd, and we believed Olivia when she first told us, but some things have come to light that make me and my family question that. Right after Olivia and her ex broke up, Olivia told our cousin that she had gone out with one of his friends and had revenge/ breakup sex with him because he had also been dumped recently. Once my cousin told me this, I remembered that Olivia had told me about a guy she had a one night stand with after she was dumped. She showed me a picture of him, talked about how cute he was, etc. (no distress whatsoever). I know sometimes people behave in ways you wouldn't expect when a traumatic event occurs to them, but I really don't understand how or why Olivia would brag about this guy if he really did S A her.
Three months ago, Olivia was arrested for stealing a set of sheets from Walmart (incidentally, right before Trevor came to visit her on leave). She used the self check-out and only bought a small $5 item and the sheets. She held both in one hand and scanned each side because she had a cut on the other hand and was holding her wallet with it. She saw a 5 in front of the total number and thought it looked right because the total should have been about $50, paid, didn't get a receipt, and walked out. An employee at the door asked to see a receipt, which Olivia didn't have, so she pulled up her transaction history on her phone to show she had paid. At this point, the employee called the police and took Olivia into an office, where she was questioned and charged with shoplifting. (Olivia can get very emotional and probably got upset when the police questioned her, which may have led them to believe she was lying). Luckily, Olivia has managed to get the charges expunged, but the process is still ongoing. Because of her ADHD, if anyone genuinely made this mistake, I would believe it from her, but Olivia has been improving a lot on organization and being more attentive recently. It is extremely uncharacteristic of her to steal- she was honest to a fault as kids- she would break down from guilt and admit things to our parents that we would have gotten away with if she hadn't said anything.
Right now, my parents have met Trevor twice in person, and I've met him once in person and several times in passing over facetime. I personally don't think that Trevor seems to keep up with my sister or that they make each other shine, and that opinion is shared with family friends and family that have met Trevor. Olivia doesn't mention Trevor in front of our parents often because his name has become a topic of contention and argument between them. My parents don't think Trevor is right for Olivia. She has almost 2 college degrees and plans to become a nurse practitioner in the future, and he hasn't finished college and doesn't seem to have any drive to do so. Olivia is also well traveled and enjoys going to museums, concerts, etc., while Trevor has lived in rural FL his whole life (this is not Trevor's fault, and I don't think he is a lesser person because of it, but I don't see a lot of common ground between them). Trevor has not seemed very well spoken when I have talked to him and I just don't see a lot of qualities in him that Olivia values.
If you've gotten this far, I just don't know what to do. Olivia and my parents have a huge rift in their relationship right now and any mention of Trevor, with her around or not, explodes into a huge argument, discussion, or just icy silence. I want Olivia to be able to talk to me about him, and we are able to discuss things much better than she is with our parents. My parents have also started asking me about Olivia and Trevor because they know Olivia shares more with me, and it makes me uncomfortable because I don't want to betray Olivia's trust, but I'm also very worried about her. I know I can't control her actions and I'm having a really hard time trying to balance supporting Olivia but not supporting the relationship (I'm not going to lie to her about how I feel, but I don't want her to feel alienated or unloved by our family, because that is NOT the case). I also think that Olivia is romanticizing the fact that our parents don't like him because my father's parents had a rift with him over our mother when we were very young (this is a whole other story, but basically, his parents always favored his sister, his sister got (I think) jealous when he did well for himself and married my mother, who his parents initially likes, and she made up rumors/lies about my mother that turned his parents against her (this was way before our mother's suspected mental health struggles, which occured when Olivia and I were in middle/high school).
Please share any thoughts you have on the situation (am I reading too into things, is this not as bad as I think it is?), and any advice you have on navigating the relationships.
Tl;dr My sister's boyfriend lied about the circumstances of him dropping out of college and joining the military. Now I think he's lying about not making it through training for two different special/ elite forces. My sister has significantly changed her behavior and I think she may have lied about a significant traumatic event to our family. Now she is planning on moving across the country to him and moving in immediately. Our entire family doesn't like him and we're worried about her. How do I support her but not her relationship?

so we have this project where we need to write three journal entries in the pov of an aztec or spanish conquistador, i chose aztec. please give me criticism, and tell me if there are any historical inaccuracies!
im 13 btw
initial contact:
november 8, 1519
I was outside, grinding corn, grinding it with the mano, over and over. I couldn't hear the screams of Chimalli, my older brother. He was sprinting, so fast, he tripped over the metate and spilled the corn. “Watch it, you fool!” I shouted, worried that I may get beaten. Nantli didn’t like food waste, and she wouldn’t care that it was foolish Chimalli’s fault. He was gasped for air, his hands on his knees. “Acalan… and I…were hunting…” He stopped and took a deep breath. “We were by the water when we saw this fish, a fish of great size. It wasn’t in the water, it was on top of it! It was brown, and atop it was 10 feet monsters with light skin!” I barked a laugh. “You’d better stop lying, Chimalli.” I decided to put the already ground corn back on the metate and take off the grass left in it. “I swear on the gods I'm not lying! I swear on Huitzilopochtli! Quetzalcoatl! All of them, I swear!”
I rolled my eyes, put the mano on the matate, and got up. “Show me what you’re talking about, fool.” Chimalli grabbed my hand tight and started running as fast as he could. I was whispering prayers to Patecatl, scared that what Chimalli was saying was true. We met up with Acalan and hid behind a bush near the lake. We could see the white-skinned people, and they were covered with weird clothing. They spoke loudly, in a peculiar way. They waved their hands around like birds and marched fiercely like jaguars. My heart was beating so loud, I was scared that Acalan and Chimalli would hear it. “They look so weird,” I whispered. The marched along, with their weird looking animals, amd were headed towards our causeway! Chimalli, Acalan and I exchanged a worried glance. Slowly and carefully, we all left our bush and headed back to the calpolli.
I went inside and saw Nantli sitting down, weaving. When she saw me, her face twisted in rage. “You dare spill the corn, leave the metate and mano unattended, and leave with the boys!? What were you even doing?” I shifted on my feet. Nantli was scary, but hse was understanding. Sometimes. “There are monsters on our land! They have big animals, a big brown fish that can swim ontop of water, and pale skin! The don’t speak Nahuatl, too!” i blurted out everything i saw, even if it didnt make sense. Chimalli was beside me, nodding his head so vigorously that it looked like it was about to fall off. Nantli got even more angry and said, “If you don’t stop lying this instant, i will call your Tahtli!” Chimalli and i both said in unison: NO!
“I swear on Huitzilopochtli! Tepeyollotl too! I even swear on Xolotl!” Chimalli cried as we were bothe getting pulled by the ear by Nantli. We were pulled outside, when we saw Tahtli. His face looked like he’d seen death. “Your foolish, lying children came to me talking nonsense about monsters with pale skin!” Nantli said, but Tahtli wasn’t fased. Tahtli was calmer then Nantli, and he was more wise. That was probably because he was a priest. However he was severe in punsiments. Nantli was all bark and no bite. Tahtli was bite, no bark, and when he did bite, it would last forever. He shook his head. “They're telling the truth. They are like us, but they have come from another land. Spain, they call it.” Nantli’s mouth was open so wide, I was trying my hardest not to laugh. She finally let go of me and Chimalli’s ear, her brows furrowing. “Did Moctezuma talk to them? Did you talk to them? How did they come here?” I side-stepped away from her, rubbing my ear. I exchanged a mischievous glance with Chimalli, and like a tiger, we left as fast and quietly as possible. In front of the door, Acalan was waiting for us impatiently and said, “Let’s go see them again. Maybe we’ll try to talk to them.” Chimalli raised his eyebrows. “Are you nuts!?” He exclaimed. I didn’t think it was a bad idea. Maybe we could understand their intentions. We never got to do that though. We never got to do anything.
Amoxtli
Spanish Conquest of the Aztecs
They kidnapped our ruler. The scary, stupid, dumb-looking monsters took our ruler. Foolish Chimalli brought it upon himself to save him. Nothing reasonable ever comes out of that stupid brain of his. He got killed doing it. Atleats he was brave. Braver than me, thats for sure. They have loud, long black tubes that shoot out fire. That killed him. Nantli hasn’t been the same, she doesn’t let me go to school anymore. Tahtli has fallen sick. Why is this happening? Is this a sign? Oh why, oh why? Oh gods, why?
I woke up, the rays of sunlight shining directly into my eyes. I got up, and to my right, was Acalan. He had decided to stay with us since all members of his calpolli had died unfateful deaths. His Nantli got sick, and his Tahtli and all of his other relatives died in the battle with the monsters. Whenever I start to pity myself, I remember Acalan. He’s got it worse. “Good morning,” I said. Acalan nodded, not uttering a word. He was looking outside, and his eyes had this aloof look to them. “Where’s Nantli?” I said, looking around the room. He mumbled something, but I couldn’t hear it. I sensed that he obviously wasn’t okay, so i scooched beside him and put a hand on his shoulder. “It's okay, just try not to think too much about it. I know how you feel, the gods will help us out.” I said softly. He shrugged my hand off his shoulder, and moved away from me. He was looking hard at the ground and whispered, “How can you be so sure?”
“Huh?”
“I said,” He looked at me square in the eye. “How can you be so sure? That’s what everybody’s been saying, but I'm getting tired of it. Face it, Amoxtli. The gods have done nothing for us. They’re just a bunch of stupid stories to scare us. My calpolli would still be here, alive and well. Those monsters wouldn’t have come here. The gods aren’t real.”
I sat there, stunned. What was he saying? He must be mad, because this isn’t the Acalan I know. The Acalan I know was so devout, more than I was. Maybe the grief got him bad. “And no, you don't know how I feel. You will never know how I feel. You ever think about jabbing a spear into your chest? You ever thought about jumping off the mountains, and drowning yourself underwater? You ever think of that? Huh?” Acalan continued. And before I knew it, he was sobbing. Acalan, the soon-to-be soldier who had never shed a tear, the boy whose heart was made out of stone, was crying. He was saying something in between sobs, but I couldn’t understand it. His face was buried in his hands. The truth is, no, I have never thought about any of those things. I didn’t know that Acalan was this affected by it. Maybe I’m the foolish one.
A few hours later, I told Nantli about what Acalan had been saying, except the blasphemous things. That brought out a side of her that i never knew she had. Her face softened, and she nodded with understanding. She comforted Acalan, giving him words of reassurance. Nantli sent me out to get water, since Chimalli wasn’t here to do it anymore. Every passing day I miss him more and more. As i walked through the village, I heard loud, bone-rattling screams. The monsters were pushing and shoving their way into the houses, and coming out with valuables. I stood there, frozen in place watching it all happen. A tall monster stood in front of me, and all I could do was stand there, looking stupid as we both stared at each other. He scowled and grabbed my bucket, throwing it on the floor. “Hey…!” I said quietly. He kicked my bucket and continued walking.

Hey everyone, It has been an amazing last 1 month of entering a proper home theater system after graduating from vizio 5.1 system. I am currently at 5.1 and now wanting more lol. I am thinking of adding atmos and was hoping to get some suggestions regarding them and discuss my particular situation regarding subwoofer.
My current setup: 1. KEF R600C center

1. KEF Q350 LR
   
2. LEF Q150 Surrounds
   
3. KEF Kube 12b
   
4. Onkyo NR7100
   

I want to put some speakers up top for atmos. I currently live in a rental apartment with 9ft high ceilings, and wondering if atmos makes sense for me? I am a bit apprehensive of drilling holes on the ceiling being a rental and popcorn ceiling. Also, My couch is 12ft away from the screen is set up against the wall. I have been looking into a table to put behind it so i can convince my wife but thats something for later i guess.
Q1> Would it be ok to put the speaker on the front wall? I mean will it be better than 5.1 and how bad would it be as compared to the speakers on the ceiling? I have read a lot on it and have always received both types of info.
Q2> Can i even do a 5.x.4 setup with couch against the wall or if i can do it if i am able to push the couch 1ft ahead? I can put a speaker directly above my head pointing down.
Finally, for speakers, I am thinking of Polk OWM3, but i am also seeing a 5 speaker set of KEF Eggs E-305 for 300$, which i think might work well for atmos. There is also a 6 KEF Eggs for similar price but the seller is not responding. Would the kef eggs be a good speaker for atmos? I was thinking if i am only able to do 5.1.2, then i will use the rest in my bedroom lol.
Now, about subwoofers,
I got a open box KEF Kube 12 for 500$. It is still within the return period. I enjoy the sub since sound fills the room more than without the sub. But since i live in an apartment, i keep the volume at 20-30% mostly.
I know sub and apartment is frowned upon here but I guess i am a bit lucky that i live on a corner unit and I have turned the sub on and listened from outside my apartment, and at one of the neighbours to make sure bass is not disturbing. Making sure i dont disturb anyone.
Coming back to sub, should i keep the KEF Kube 12 or should i move to a ported sub. I use my HT mostly for movies. I initially went with a sealed sub hoping it would disturb others less but now i am thinking whats the best way out. I will probably end up moving to a SFH in 2ish years so i was thinking if i should spend a bit more and maybe get a big SUB(RP1400W maybe?) what do you guys recommend for sub for my situation?

I am not one for negative reviews as I typically feel if I have a bad experience, it is just a bad day. However, this company has shown a pattern of poor care for its customers as well as lack of support in general. I opened my first checking account with them when I was 14 years old, and am now 26. I have had a personal checking and savings account with them for the last 10 years and opened a credit card with them 2 years ago. I have since decided that this is not the bank for me mainly due to a complete lack of customer service.
First of all, this bank began charging me maintenance fees on my checking account of nowhere a few months ago, so I tried to call. I sat on the phone punching #s for hours trying to get a human on the phone to see why this was. Not possible. So I visited a branch and they treated me like I was unimportant and could figure out my problems myself and was told to “go find the answer on google.” Eventually a banker met with me who said that since I was no longer a “student” I would be charged maintenance fees. Understandable, except I am a student. I pulled up my transcript and everything for this guy and he continued to tell me his hands were tied and he could not help. Fine, but kind of annoying.
So I get a credit card with bank of america, my first credit card mind you, and I’m enjoying earning rewards on my card and gaining cash back. I am person who prefers simplicity so I immediately set up autodraft/autopay to pay the statement balance each month. However for my first payment they drafted the statement amount twice from my BofA checking account. Not cool. I did not have that much in my checking account. Overdraft fee. I try calling to get help, again on the phone for multiple hours and unable to speak with a human. I go to a branch (different than the one in my last experience) where I am again told to call customer service or “use Erica, their AI chatbot,” so I leave and go to a different branch where someone finally helps me, but still is unable to refund the double charge OR the overdraft fee. They said, “it will just remain on your credit card as a statement credit so you won’t have to pay the next one.” Fine, but really annoying.
So Im a few months out from this I am getting married and we decided to bank with Chase (who is amazing on the customer service side by the way). I now have a checking account with Chase that is my main account, so I want to autodraft/autopay my BofA credit card with my chase checking account. Well, BofA makes that nearly impossible. I cannot figure out how to have BofA draft the exact statement balance due each month from my checking account automatically. I spend a few hours on google/reddit/etc trying to figure it out, which should not be hard considering I work with computers every day. However, I do not find a solution so I travel to a new BofA branch (not one I have been to before) and explain the situation that I would like to set up autodraft from a Chase checking acct. They tell me they cannot help with credit cards in the bank and I need to call customer service. Not falling for that again. So I go to ANOTHER new BofA branch that I have never been to and ask the same question. One lady does help me and says all I have to do is go to Chase bank to have them set this up because it is a problem on their end. So I do that. And Chase tells me that BofA will not share info with other banks to allow them to see amount due through the Chase bill pay feature. So I give up
A month later I have some free time and I am in a different city so I schedule an appointment with a BofA banker to see if we can revisit the credit card issue. I am helped! He calls customer service himself with me there, somehow gets a human on the line in only 5 minutes, and they send me an email how to setup my Chase checking acct as a “pay from account.” However these instructions do not work because for some reason my account is not eligible to be set up online and I must mail a voided check to bank of america headquarters before they can consider my account for enrollment. So I ask the banker if I have to use this BofA credit card to maintain it and he tells me he’s pretty sure I will receive notice prior to an closing of my credit cards, contrary to what redditors have shared, so I take his word for it and try to set up Autopay. Well I give up again.
So a few days later I am tired of this bank and decide to close my accounts and switch everything to chase. I made an appointment at ANOTHER new branch, so I am well travelled to the Bank of America Branches within South Carolina/North Carolina. I tell the banker I am closing and leaving BofA, she asks why, I tell her that their customer service is not very good and that bankers have little-to-no power to help with hardly anything an everyday customer may need. She tries to convince me to stay. I say no. I get her to close my checking and savings account and she tells me they can give me cash (the remaining balances in these accounts). I run my credit card scenario by her in a last ditch effort to get it figured out, but she cant help, and another banker overhears us talking, says “I am really good with credit card stuff, let me help you.” So I go to his office, explain everything, and he says he cant help me. Shocker. So I take my account closure statements across the foyer of the BofA branch and hand them to the teller to finally cash out and leave this place forever. He cannot accept my withdrawal. Somehow in the time between my talks with the first banker and the time I reach the teller 15 feet away their computer system has gone down. The teller informs me that the accounts have already been closed so there is no way to get the money out at the moment. All 4 branch bankers are behind the counter with him running through how they can service me and you know what their solution was? “Give us a call back every few hours to see if we have figured out a solution.” NO. I will NOT ever try to call BofA again. I am giving you my phone number to call ME once you have a solution. So I leave, and receive a call later that day because the teller tells me they are closing soon and he needs me to return to discuss my options. I drive back to the branch. He tells me I have 2 options: 1) have the checks mailed to me once BofA figures out how to solve this issue Or 2) come back first thing in the morning to follow up and hopefully figure it out. I am not going to trust BofA to figure out anything at this point so I decide I am going to return in the morning, and every day after until they fix this . At the moment they have no solutions, so I will see if they dreamt some up overnight tomorrow! I will update again as the story unfolds
TLDR: Bank of America is absolute Trash

Long story short, a girl who I know from my major who also used to take the bus with me had graduated a year ago, at that time I had went my way and bought her graduation gifts and a congratulations card, a year later she had not even texted me "congratulations" on my graduation last week, although she had went to the graduation party and knows that I've graduated there.
Here is the thing, me, her and her friend who is now my ex-friend used to take the same bus and are in the same major, but since me and my ex-friend and a couple other people had to work in a graduation project she had showed me her true colors, in short she is nothing but a snake, a bully, a backstabber, and I am pretty sure that she had been feeding her lies and other stuff about me. guy to the point where I would be walking through a room's door and she would be opening the door to "us", & when I had said "thank you" to her she ignored me, meanwhile when the guy behind me who is one of the guys who used to work in the graduation project with us had passed by and thanked her, she said "your welcome" to him.
I am hurt, I am broken, the group that I've worked with for the graduation project have hurt me, bullied me, etc I need therapy becuase of them. I could write over 1000 pages about everything they've done to me during the past 9 months, specially this semester, I don't know what to do, I've already graduated, I feel like shit, I keep dissociating, I am afraid of facing real life, I just wish I can go back in time and re-live my last semester in uni, it was the WORST semester ever, the constant bullying, humiliation, and the INFINTE AMOUNT OF RACISMA that I've faced was and still unbearable, I wish I could have the chance to go back and enjoy my last semester in uni, I am stuck in this phase of depression, I can't accept the fact that I am no longer an undergraduate, that time is flying by me, I regret being vulnerable and opening up to my ex-friend, I regret befriending her, I wish when she had approached me in class 2 years ago that I've kept it casual, maybe now she would have just been a "classmate", I hate being in this position.
I am afraid of befriending people now, not a single person from my uni had contacted me after graduating, It was literally me sending a congrats text to 5 people, 3 of them had replied, and the 3ed one keeps dragging replying to me for days, and the other 2 literally ignored the texts. I feel so lonely, so alone, I don't even have high-school friend, childhood friends, etc.

Before I get into this long rant, let me say that I loved the show, met amazing people, and have generally enjoyed Red Rocks for other shows I have attended (though their accessibility leaves a lot to be desired). This show, however, was a total clusterfuck in how it was handled. I saw ST when they played Mission last year and got there an hour before doors and the line was super long. From my experience at that show, knowing how the fan base is, and knowing that this was sort of a “special show” I decided to get there about 3 hours before doors yesterday. Parking attendant was rude when I didn’t turn when they wanted despite me hesitating because there was a car behind her she didn’t see heading toward me. Fine, whatever. Ended up parking in upper north because I have severe asthma and it’s typically less stairs to go in at the top. Was camping out and had so much fun with fans. Seemed like we were in the first 300 or so at that entrance. Closer to 5:30 maybe we see a worker walking down. Think nothing of it. She then comes back with a whole bunch of people from the back of the line and practically whispers come this way for a shorter line and directs them to some different line that is apparently shorter. No notice. We all have chairs and food and a bunch of stuff we can’t just pick up and get up. Plus she had a huge line of people following her from the back that made it hard to jump in. That was annoying but figured maybe they are sending them somewhere else and it will be fine. Nope. They got the main north entrance up top. Our line ends up getting directed to a little side entrance instead of the main entrance at the top. The security was a joke. Only two people checking the line. They didn’t even look in my bag and just asked if I had anything in there. I had a huge blanket on top. I could have had anything under there. Ended up getting dumped at the bottom of the stairs so had to climb up even more with my asthma and at this point I was tasting blood. Because we got directed to such a small entrance where they took a while getting people in instead of the several people checking at the main entrances, the show was half full already (later saw pictures from people on twitter who were ahead of us by like 150 or so at like one of the first few rows after the ticketed seats). They should have directed the front of the line forward and had people move up. I know that fan lines aren’t honored but this wasn’t like a, I gave myself a number and came back at 6pm situation. Would have saved that worker from having to walk to what I assume was all the way to lower north too. So thus far we have getting fucked in line order, getting fucked at the entrance, and absolutely terrible security. Again, I’m just trying to enjoy my night so still trying to shake it off. Nope, the venue clusterfuck saga continues. Try to get in a merch line and there is attendant there who is turning everyone away in a very rude manner saying it’s too full. You need to climb all the way to the top to get in the back of the other lines. Greatttt. Get our spots, get in the other merch line. The merch line took about an hour or so and I missed all of ESB but it was worth it and the merch people were super nice. Come back and see how OVERSOLD it is. The whole time I was in merch line I could see the upper south entrance and it was completely slammed the whole time. When I was trying to get back there were people everywhere because there were no seats left. I decide to get a drink and while I’m waiting I see probably a 64 year old worker literally grabbing people forcibly by their arms and pulling them in the direction she wants. She yelled at me asking if I was in line and I awkwardly laughed that I hoped so. She was not amused and went back to grabbing people roughly by their arms and yelling at everyone. I get back and enjoy the show but you couldn’t help but notice just people standing everywhere because they oversold by so much. These tickets were like $190 base with fees and people traveled from everywhere so I can only imagine how frustrated they felt. I saw posts after of people saying how they couldn’t see through the trees and attendants kept telling people where they couldn’t be but not where they could. I have worked crowd control before and I understand it is hard, but the venue really fucked this one up. Overall the fans themselves were great and the vibes were amazing, but Red Rocks needs to get it together. Staff grabbing and yelling at guests and not properly checking bags is so absolutely not okay.

A Rustic Adventure with a Stubborn Calf
It was a sweltering summer day in the countryside, and I, a bored 7-year-old boy, was in dire need of entertainment. My grandparents' farm was teeming with animals, but none piqued my curiosity more than a playful calf. A mischievous idea struck me: to take it for a walk through the lush green orchard behind the house, where grass was abundant.
With an old leash tightly fastened around my hand, I headed towards the barn, convinced that I was about to embark on an unforgettable adventure. The calf, excited by the prospect of an escapade, took off as soon as I opened the door. I, however, was not prepared for its unexpected sprint. The leash wrapped tightly around my hand, transforming into a rustic lasso.
The calf's speed increased, and I was dragged across the yard like a rag doll caught on a string. I screamed, I yelled, I pulled with all my might, but the leash was impossible to detach. For approximately 50 meters, I was dragged through dust and grass, with the calf showing no signs of slowing down.
Finally, through a miracle of childhood dexterity, I managed to unfasten the leash. I fell to the ground, gasping for air and covered in dust, but with a hidden sense of satisfaction. The rustic adventure had an unexpected ending, but certainly a memorable one.
