(Part 001)
A few days after Neil and Hope's meeting.
Henry Cliff walks alone down the hallways of the Labyrinth. He wears a purple-colored T-REX, a status symbol put in place by the higher-ups as a sign of his newfound prestige and military ranking. Its color, as well as the other new colors among the army allow for a quick idea of the ranking of any human soldier at a glance, especially among those who don't know the humans well, such as their allies for today.
Henry's feet quietly plod against the Labyrinth's compacted dirt floor. His breathing remains even despite having walked for over thirty minutes. Thanks to his newly enhanced body, he could run for a thousand kilometers without breaking a sweat. Even he isn't entirely certain just how strong he is. Perhaps, if he were to come to blows with a Demon Emperor, he might roll them out like a sleeping bag.
As he walks, Henry's newfound clarity of purpose mixes with the voices and thoughts of ten thousand other members of Jepthath's Legion. No, more accurately, they are Henry's Legion, now. While their power might be derived from Jepthath, it was the Hero-King's decision to give Henry command of them and become his Voice.
Each person who joined on that day possessed their own thoughts, feelings, and talents. Their combined cumulative experience, which could now be tapped into at will, easily amounted to more than 350,000 years. If the age of every person who merged had been 10, that would have given them 100,000 years, but the fact the average turned out to be 35 elevated their cumulative total dramatically.
And that was to say nothing of the people who had once been a part of Jepthath's Legion in the past. When Henry first became inducted into the Legion, he was shocked by just how much wisdom Jepthath possessed. While he did not have the truly unfathomable and vast breadth of knowledge Solomon possessed, Jepthath was amazing in his own way. What he lacked in raw information, he made up in with mastery of combat.
If Solomon possessed the combined cumulative knowledge of humanity, Jepthath possessed its raw hand-to-hand fighting prowess. And that served to bolster Henry's state of mind significantly.
Just by integrating into the Legion, Henry's ability to peer into the essence of combat increased ten thousand-fold. Over the last few days, he had happened to pass by several different training grounds for humanity's soldiers on Maiura, most of them having been erected at some point by Neil Adams in the past six years. Henry was not impressed by what he saw. If anything, he was disgusted.
[Their movements are so crude. So lacking in refinement.] He would often think, while conversing with the ancient Hero-King. [I want to train them. I can't stand to imagine them using their sloppy combat skills against old demon monsters.]
[A waste of time.] Jepthath would chide gently, whenever he and Henry had this conversation. [The knowledge you have obtained effortlessly cannot be communicated through words or demonstrations. The only way one can become as proficient as the members of Our Legion is by directly transferring Our combined knowledge through Our souls and minds.]
[Then we have to convince more to join Us!] Henry would exclaim. [These fools are wasting their time flailing about, trying to reinvent the wheel. If they joined Us, they would gain all of Our power in the art of war and become capable of adding to Our collective consciousness!]
Jepthath shakes his head. [I made a deal with the Wordsmith. We will not forcibly recruit anyone. If you wish to convince more to join Us, you must demonstrate Our power. Not only do you possess knowledge of countless schools of fighting, but you also possess intimate knowledge of battlefield tactics and guerrilla warfare. By demonstrating that Knowledge is Power, you can enlighten the foolish masses as to what they are missing out on.]
Henry nodded sincerely at that time. He looked up at the night sky and clenched his fist with determination.
Humanity was wasting its capabilities! If other humans only knew how small and frail they were, they would jump at the chance to join the Legion!
Less than a week before, Henry had been a disgraced soldier, a mere civilian, a person who might never even get the opportunity to shine the boots of those he had once trained with.
But now he was an officer, an elite warrior many would come to fear and respect.
This realization made his heart leap and his throat dry. In many ways, he sometimes felt he didn't deserve this position. He certainly hadn't earned it.
Not yet. Someday he would. Someday soon.
His thoughts come back to the present. He continues walking, ultimately falling into step beside an ordinary human commando also donning a T-REX. A small artistic flourish on the side of her armor, a pink rose, hints to him the other soldier might be a woman.
The grey-armored soldier turns her head to look at him as she walks. "Oh! You startled me. And you are?"
Unable to see her face, Henry looks at her helmet instead, and her name and other information pop up in his HUD, allowing him to see her identity.
"I'm Lieutenant Henry Cliff." He says. "You're Private Ashley McCarthy? Aren't you the lady who can transform into an orc?"
Immediately, her previously formal tone turns cold. Ashley snaps her head forward, no longer looking at him.
"Every time. Every time! Is that all I am anymore? Just the ugly bitch who turns into an orc?!"
"Whoa, whoa!" Henry exclaims, taken aback by her response. "I'm sorry, uh, Miss McCarthy. I didn't mean to apologize- I mean, I didn't apologize- mean to offend you! I- I uh, sorry!"
He stumbles over his words, feeling suddenly ashamed that he spoke so bluntly without considering the other person's feelings. Then again, how could he have known it was such a sore subject for her? That thought also makes him feel unfairly slighted, as he committed a blunder without meaning to.
"No, no I'm sorry." Ashley quickly says, suddenly realizing how rudely she just spoke to a superior officer. "It's not your fault, Lieutenant. I, I just... it's a long story. I never asked for this ability. I hate it."
"You hate it?" Henry asks, as they round a corner, passing a dozen goblins who carefully press against the side-wall to avoid the giant humans. "Pardon my bluntness, but why? In this time of war, possessing an orc form must make you pretty strong. Valuable. You could be on the fast-track to a higher rank if you have any ambition."
"Higher rank." Ashley mutters under her breath. "As if that's something I'd want. I'm not some big brained Terran from Old Earth. I'm just a normal girl from one of the Wild Worlds. I only want to be pointed at an enemy so I can hurt them."
That sounds an awful lot like something an orc would say, Henry thinks, but wisely keeps to himself.
"Does turning into an orc make you stronger?" Henry asks, choosing to turn the discussion down a more positive path.
"Oh, sure. A bit stronger." Ashley concedes. "You know how the Body Booster improves a human's baseline physique, putting some of us on par with certain low-ranking Demon Lords? Well, my Orc transformation stacks on that, sort of. I can pick up and throw boulders pretty far."
She pauses, before adding, "I mean, it is really fun being that strong."
Henry reaches up to rub his chin, only for his hand to clank against his T-REX's helmet. He gives up on the idea and lowers his arm again.
"I recently got a, uh, a pretty substantial boost to my strength. You remember how Commander Hope offered for people to merge with the Hero Jepthath? I did that, and it made me a lot stronger."
He turns to look at the woman beside him, but she simply gazes forward, her helmet offering no insight into her current expression.
Her words, however, definitely give away what she's thinking.
"Oh. You're one of the cultists."
Her disappointed tone makes Henry's heart skip a beat.
"No, no, no!" Henry exclaims. "Not a cultist. Who told you that?? Jepthath's Legion have simply unified Our minds and bolstered Our bodies, making Us a lot stronger."
She remains quiet for a few moments.
"Yeah... that's... what a cultist would say."
"We're not a cult..." Henry protests feebly, but his words fall on deaf ears.
This isn't the first time someone has directed a look of disgust his way, or visibly cringed when he proudly declared himself one of Jepthath's Chosen.
Jason's words during the Great Debate made a lot of people immediately strike becoming a Parahuman off their list. They'd rather be ordinary soldiers in body armor rather than part of a weird, unified hive-mind.
Dismayed, the young man falls silent. He doesn't say anything for a full minute, and perhaps feeling bad about dismissing him so easily, Ashley decides to reignite the conversation as they draw closer to their destination.
"So what's it like. Being inside a, uh... hive mind? Is it weird?"
"We're not a hive-mind." Henry says, his mood deflating even further. "We're... we're like brothers and sisters. We understand one another. We share thoughts, insights, wisdom."
This time, Ashley tries to exercise a little tact. "It just doesn't sound right for me. I guess everyone has their own preferences. Me, I think I'd die of shame if everyone around me could hear my every thought. The embarrassment alone..."
She trails off and shakes her head.
But this time, Henry doesn't just back down.
"It's not what you think at all." Henry says. "Do you know why you feel fear at the thought of sharing your thoughts? It's because you're self-absorbed."
"What?!" Ashley exclaims, pausing her walk to look at him. No doubt, her helmet hides an expression of disbelief. "What do you mean by that... sir?"
Henry also pauses. He turns to face her, resting his hands on his hips. "You have friends, right? Maybe even a best friend?"
"O-of course!" Ashley says, her tone defensive. "What, you think I'm friendless just because I'm not a part of some bee-hive?"
"That's not what I'm getting at." Henry says patiently, holding out his hand and modulating his tone so he'll come off less aggressive. "Think about your friend, or your best friend. Really think about it. What's the most embarrassing thing you remember about him or her? What's the worst social gaffe they've made that you can't get out of your head?"
Ashley pauses. She lowers her head and falls into thought for a moment.
"I don't know. I can't think of anything. Why?"
"What about other people?" Henry asks. "Has anyone else you know made any serious social fuck-ups recently?"
"Social ones? No. There have been a few generally bad events recently, like finding out Baron Mara killed a bunch of people. But she's not my friend anyway, so..."
"THAT is my point." Henry states emphatically. "You don't think about the weird and embarrassing things your friends do. So why do you believe they're so fixated on yours?"
Ashley lifts her head to look at him. She remains silent, digesting his words, so he continues to press the issue.
"Do you know why you find things about yourself embarrassing? It's not your fault. Most people are extremely self-conscious about their own insecurities. Now that I've become a part of the Legion, I experience everyone else's insecurities all at the same time as I experience mine. In doing so, I realize that mine never amounted to anything at all. When you have ten thousand other people worrying about what they're wearing, or if they look fashionable, or some other tedious bullshit, you quickly realize that all of them amount to white noise. They don't matter."
He throws his hand up dramatically.
"I'm not picking on you. It's just a fact of human consciousness. All people are held back by their fear of social pressure, but much of that is because we don't know what goes on in the heads of our fellow men and women. If you could see their deranged sexual fantasies all at once, you would realize you're not weird at all. Everyone has a kink. If you enjoy looking at gross bugs, guess what? Someone else is unbothered by bodily fluids. We're all weird, and joining the Legion just made that clearer to me."
He pauses, unable to see the look on her face. "Sorry, I hope I'm not coming off as condescending. Does any of this make sense to you?"
Ashley slowly nods. "Mmm. Yeah, it does."
Henry heaves a sigh of relief. "Well, great! Great. I was worried I was starting to sound a little long-winded."
Ashley turns away and resumes walking. "You're definitely in a cult."
"Goddammit." Henry grumbles.
...
Before long, the two of them make it to the meeting location, where they arrive inside a massive, hollowed-out area inside the Labyrinth. There, they find, of all things, a new Volgrim Warpgate installed, its destination some unknown desert on a planet Henry can't immediately identify.
As they enter the massive arena-like staging area, Hope becomes momentarily disoriented. His newly enhanced senses pick up surges of spiritual energy, all spread out across the humans, demons, monsters, and other creatures inside. The powerful Demon Emperors, only a few of whom have yet to Ascend to Demon Deity, stand near the portal, using their strength as a show of force. Despite their proud expressions, Henry's keen senses detect a hint of fear in their eyes, as they seem to be unable to properly stand as strong as they always have. It's as if they are being suppressed by something...
"Whoa!" Ashley gasps. "I can't believe it. Why are the Volgrim here?"
"The Volgrim?" Henry asks, following her gaze based on the direction her helmet is pointed.
Somewhere in the mass of the crowd, a handful of decidedly alien-looking creatures with tentacles writing under their mouths and heavily-armored bodies stand at attention, looking like proud leaders and commanders. Their postures indicate a level of arrogance bred into their bones by millions of years of dominance over the Milky Way. Compared to the slightly fearful Demon Emperors, these Technopaths truly stand out as cream of the crop, with unknown augmentations that likely elevate their combat prowess to the peak.
"Those are Volgrim?" Henry asks. "Huh. The only one I've ever seen was that one female, the one who didn't have a mouth. She was presiding over my, uh, my tribunal..."
"Your tribunal?" Ashley asks.
She pauses, then turns to look at him strangely.
"Cliff... Henry Cliff? What the- you're that traitor! What- how even...?? You're a Lieutenant now? I didn't even recognize your name- no, forget that. Why are you in uniform? Weren't you banned basically forever from rejoining the military?"
"I was banned from rejoining the main military." Henry says, lowering his head in shame. "But, uhm, Hope's Parahumans are... different. It's a different jurisdiction."
Ashley takes a step to the side, pulling away from him. He can't see her expression, but based on her voice, she suddenly seems disgusted by him.
"All this time, I was talking to him." She mutters to herself, as she turns and walks away without another word.
Henry stands there, silently. He watches her depart, a feeling of bitterness welling up in his heart. He could pull rank on her, write her up for insubordination. Given his new status as a high-ranker, it would be easy to do.
But he doesn't.
In truth, he doesn't blame Ashley for her feelings. Because of his actions, Neil Adams was captured and humanity likely lost far more people during Stormbringer as a result. He indirectly caused the deaths of hundreds, perhaps even thousands.
How can he demand respect from her when he feels he doesn't deserve it?
As that thought wells up in Henry's mind, the thoughts of the Legion feed back into him, suppressing his negative emotions. All of them comment on his feelings and insecurities, offering kind words to help him feel better.
[You cannot and should not demand respect, no, but you can earn it back through your actions.] A 52-year-old Legionnaire says. [People like her will come around in due time. Perform admirably and make the Legion proud.]
[That woman is a mere Private.] Jepthath chimes in. [Do not allow your emotions to be tangled up by the feelings of a random soldier. You will need to bolster your Willpower if you seek to reach the peak of what you can achieve.]
[Right. My willpower.] Henry says, as his mood drastically swings back up. He hardens his heart, casting aside Ashley's comment and instead meditating for a moment to clear his mind. [Thank you, everyone, for the support.]
With his thoughts clear, Henry strides toward the front, keeping his gaze fixed on the Volgrim Technopaths. Having never seen these creatures before, he finds their horrid-looking tentacle mouths fascinating and yet creepy to look at. While all of them appear to be gender-ambiguous, certainly at first glance, as he comes closer, he does manage to make out one or two female-sounding voices among them. Or perhaps they might be higher-pitched males. He isn't entirely sure, and it seems a taboo subject to breach.
"-the Task Force will be working alongside these Technopath Envoys." Demon Emperor Yardrat says, his tone even and unbothered by the Technopaths to his left. "Naturally, full command of this operation will still go to the Archdemon, as the ranking Cosmic. However, because he will be busy dealing with the highest level threats, control of the ground forces will go to one member of each species, chosen via several votes of consensus. Today's operation is a test, and its purpose is to ensure we all work together properly. NO friendly fire. Our enemy is the Plague and nobody else. Save your personal grievances, vendettas, and petty squabbles for after we take our galaxy back from the Kolvaxians."
He gestures to the ten Technopaths. "The Volgrim have dispatched an army of 100,000 Technopath soldiers, and they will be commanded by this High Technopath named Loputo Jidelor, a high ranking commander of Clan Symmetra's ground forces."
Each of the Technopaths possesses their own combination of flesh and blood bodily parts mixed with metal limb replacements, armor-addons, and other such things. In Jidelor's case, he stands on two flesh and blood legs. However, in place of his right arm is a long, metallic limb with dozens of razor-thin threads waving to and fro where his 'wrist' ends. Each one moves independently, much like the tentacles on his left arm, but their movements appear far more precise. Dozens of metallic pieces are attached seemingly at random to his skin and skull.
Jidelor nods. "I am an experienced battlefield commander, but I am not a frontline soldier. I will be controlling our siege weaponry and directing our soldiers from the back."
Yardrat nods, then continues. "For the Demons, it goes without saying that just like with the last ten operations, Emperor Serena will be commanding our forces. Her ability to link souls together has proven instrumental in rapid battlefield communications, and her ability to sense souls allows her to keep up with the emergence of new Plagueborn until the point Diablo steals the world core back."
A beautiful demoness with sightless eyes nearby waves her hand delicately. "I will be in your care, everyone. Let us make it to the end without losing any demons this time."
"For the monsters, Fairy Princess Melia will take point." Yardrat says, nodding to another beautiful woman with green hair, fairy wings, and a look of boredom permanently etched onto her face.
Unlike the previous two commanders, Melia doesn't give a speech. In fact, she only rolls her eyes, crosses her arms, and looks away.
"Alright, and for the humans, General Chadwick will be taking charge." Yardrat concludes. He gestures to a massive Norwegian man who has now donned a Rhino T-REX variant and rests his hands around the shaft of a massive battleaxe. Its head rests on the ground, and he supports his massive armored frame by resting on the weapon's handle.
"Everyone." Chadwich says. "It is my honor to lead this mission. Naturally, Commander Neil is not happy about having to work with the demons, and I cannot imagine all of our soldiers are either. However, I pledge on Hope Hiro's honor that we will not commit any cowardly deeds of treachery, any backstabbing, or anything else of that sort! It was Hope Hiro who pushed for this arrangement because he wants humanity's soldiers to get real battle experience against the Plague. Let's be sure to make good use of this time to bury as many hatchets as we can!"
The crowd nods along to Chadwick's words. Some of the humans vocalize their approval, but many more remain silent.
The humans here are not normal civilians. They are military personnel, countless many of whom have not forgiven the demons. They may never forgive them, if their leaders are being honest.
Perhaps sensing the tenseness in the air, Yardrat briskly moves the pace along.
"In thirty minutes, we will begin. Transfer your forces to my world so that I can begin preparation to open the Intragalactic Portals. The Swarm has begun adapting to my tactics of late, so the moment those portals open, we'll need boots on the ground. No delays! If the Plague has its way, it might flood through the portals back to us, and that would be a whole bloody devil-damned mess."
The other leaders nod solemnly. They spread apart to talk to their forces, and Henry heaves a sigh.
In thirty minutes, we'll find out just how stable this alliance truly is.

I like to stop into my local Panera restaurant for a "free" cup of coffee in the morning a few times a week (I subscribe to their monthly Sip Club - it's a pretty good deal) I swear every time I stop in, there is a group of about 4 or 5 Boomer guys, all around the same age, who basically take over half the front section of the restaurant. They sit there spread out among three or four tables but only 1 each sitting at the table, so right there they're taking up room and hogging space where others could be sitting. But then I realize nobody else would want to sit by them because they are ALWAYS TALKING SO FREAKING LOUD. Their voices boom (no pun intended) and carry across the whole restaurant. They get so loud sometimes the lady working at the main counter gets drowned out by their loud-ass voices as she's trying to take other people's orders. And they just talk about stupid, mindless s*** but boy do they love to make sure everyone else can hear them! I was in there shortly after 7 AM today and I swear they were probably standing there pacing 20 minutes before the restaurant even opened, wanting to be the first ones in. These men clearly are bored and have nowhere else to go, but if they're going to talk so damn loud and hog multiple tables, why can't they just stay home and do it there?! Plus they hog all the coffee! Multiple times I have gone there and at least one or two of the big coffee "tanks" that Panera has are completely empty. OK rant over. TGIF!

Effectiveness Unclear: Limited independent verification of effectiveness. Varied Results: Individual experiences may differ. Limited Availability: Only available through the official website, affecting accessibility. Unveiling the Formula Sugar Defender is positioned as a dietary supplement for blood sugar management, boasting a blend of natural ingredients aimed at promoting healthy blood sugar levels and overall metabolic health. The primary goal is to regulate blood sugar, potentially curbing cravings and aiding weight management. It also claims to enhance energy levels and cognitive function. However, it's crucial to remember that Sugar Defender is a supplement, not a miracle cure. Its effectiveness and the validity of its claims require careful consideration. This review provides a balanced perspective on its potential benefits and drawbacks.
The Mystery Behind the Creator
Unlike many supplements that highlight their creators, Sugar Defender's origins are somewhat mysterious. There's no readily available information about the individual or team behind it. This lack of transparency might be concerning for some users, as knowing the background and qualifications of the creators can build trust. However, this doesn't necessarily negate the product's potential effectiveness. Some companies focus more on the science behind the ingredients rather than the creators. For those seeking transparency, this anonymity might be a point of hesitation.
If you're considering Sugar Defender, research the ingredients and their potential benefits for blood sugar management. Additionally, look for independent reviews from verified users to get a broader perspective. The decision to trust Sugar Defender, despite its mysterious origins, ultimately rests with you.
The Science Behind Sugar Defender
Sugar Defender features a blend of natural ingredients aimed at supporting healthy blood sugar levels. Here's a closer look at the science behind some key components:
Chromium: May improve insulin sensitivity, aiding blood sugar control, though evidence is inconclusive. Alpha-Lipoic Acid: An antioxidant with mixed results on blood sugar regulation. Gymnema Sylvestre: Contains gymnemic acid, which may reduce sugar cravings and improve insulin sensitivity. The exact dosages and the combined effects of all the ingredients in Sugar Defender aren't well-researched, and the product itself lacks extensive clinical trials. This doesn't negate its potential benefits but highlights the need for further research and a critical approach.
Detailed Ingredient Analysis
Eleuthero (Siberian Ginseng): An adaptogenic herb that may help manage stress and improve stamina, though its impact on blood sugar is limited. Coleus Forskohlii: Contains forskolin, which may aid weight management and blood pressure, but its effects on blood sugar are unclear. Maca Root: May boost energy and mood, but more research is needed on its impact on blood sugar. African Mango (Irvingia Gabonensis): Could help suppress appetite and improve cholesterol, with emerging evidence on blood sugar effects. Guarana: High in caffeine, it may increase energy and suppress appetite, though its role in blood sugar management is unclear. Ginseng: May improve energy and cognitive function, with some studies suggesting it could help regulate blood sugar. Gymnema Sylvestre: May reduce sugar cravings and improve insulin sensitivity. Alpha-Lipoic Acid: Plays a role in glucose metabolism, with mixed research results. How Sugar Defender Works Sugar Defender claims to work through several mechanisms:
Blood Sugar Regulation: Ingredients like Chromium and Gymnema Sylvestre may enhance insulin sensitivity and reduce sugar cravings. Appetite Control: African Mango and Coleus Forskohlii might help suppress appetite and manage weight. Energy and Metabolism: Eleuthero, Maca Root, and Ginseng may boost energy and support a healthy metabolism. These are theoretical mechanisms, and the actual effectiveness remains unclear.
Instructions and Considerations Dosage and Administration:
Recommended Dosage: One dropper (1 ml) three times daily. Method: Take drops under the tongue, hold for a few seconds before swallowing, preferably with meals. Consistency: Use consistently for at least three months to see potential benefits. Lifestyle Modifications:
Healthy Lifestyle: Maintain a balanced diet and regular exercise. Sugar Defender should supplement these efforts, not replace them. Consulting Your Doctor:
Medical Conditions: Consult your doctor if you have pre-existing conditions or are on medication. Pregnant/Breastfeeding Women: Should seek medical advice before use. Be Cautious and Realistic:
Approach Claims Critically: Independent research and reviews can provide a balanced view. Individual Results Vary: What works for one person might not work for another. Potential Side Effects Sugar Defender is generally safe but may cause mild side effects like:
Digestive Discomfort: Bloating, gas, or diarrhea. Headaches: Mild headaches due to changes in blood sugar levels. Nausea: Occasional nausea. Dizziness: Slight dizziness or lightheadedness. Allergic Reactions: Rare allergic reactions. Sleep Disturbances: Changes in sleep patterns. If any side effects persist or worsen, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Is Sugar Defender Safe? Sugar Defender is generally safe for most people when used as directed. It's made with natural ingredients and adheres to quality standards. However, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and those with pre-existing conditions or on medication, should consult a healthcare provider before use. Individual responses vary, so monitor how your body reacts and make informed decisions.
By following these guidelines and consulting with your doctor, you can decide if Sugar Defender is a suitable option for you.
Who Should Avoid Sugar Defender?
While Sugar Defender is generally safe for most individuals, specific groups should exercise caution or avoid using the supplement altogether:
Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women: Limited research exists on the safety of Sugar Defender's ingredients during pregnancy and lactation. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using this supplement.
Children: Sugar Defender is formulated for adult use and may not be suitable for children. Parents should consult with a pediatrician before giving Sugar Defender to children.
Individuals with Medical Conditions: Those with pre-existing medical conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or gastrointestinal disorders, should consult a healthcare professional before using Sugar Defender to ensure it is safe and appropriate for their specific health needs.
Allergies: Individuals with known allergies to any of the ingredients in Sugar Defender should avoid using the supplement to prevent allergic reactions.
Medication Interactions: Some ingredients in Sugar Defender may interact with certain medications. Individuals taking prescription medications should consult their healthcare provider before using Sugar Defender to avoid potential interactions.
By considering these factors and consulting with a healthcare professional when necessary, individuals can make informed decisions about whether Sugar Defender is suitable for their individual needs and circumstances.
Sugar Defender: Sifting Through Customer Reviews (4.8 Rating with a Cautious Eye)
Sugar Defender boasts a high customer rating of 4.8, but it's important to evaluate this critically:

Visit Official Website To Order Sugar Defender Click Here

The Positive Side: Many customer reviews highlight positive experiences, such as improved blood sugar control, increased energy levels, and reduced cravings. Users often appreciate the ease of use (liquid drops) and the natural approach. A Cause for Caution: A near-perfect rating (4.8) can be suspicious. Genuine reviews tend to reflect a mix of positive and negative experiences. There is a possibility of biased reviews influenced by marketing or affiliate programs. Looking Beyond the Ratings: Focus on the content of reviews rather than just the star rating. Look for detailed reviews describing the user’s experience, both positive and negative. Consider the reviewer's background and potential biases. Sugar Defender Customer Reviews: A Journey Through User Experiences

Before I start, I would like to say that I think Automatons and Terminids are both are fun to play, and while this may be a hot take- both sides are fairly balanced in the game’s current state outside of the unintentional glitches, patrol rates, etc. All the of the information I talk about below is of course just my opinion, but also looked at purely from the Helldive (D9) difficulty perspective. TL:DR is at the bottom.
To start, let's look at the Terminids. The Terminids kinda give off a BO1 Zombies feel for me. Shoot them at distance, use your full arsenal to keep the bigger bugs at bay, and take a 5 second retreat if they get up in your face. Rinse and repeat. Boiled down, they are drones that will path the closest available route to your location, and only 2 enemy types, Bile Titans, and Bile Spewers, out of the 9 total have true range capability. Even then, their range is limited at around 20 meters. The Terminids most dangerous aspect is their numbers. A single bug breach can produce upwards of 50+ Terminids of varying types. The horde can and will entrap you if you don't maintain area denial. Outside of the battlefield, the only means they have to annoy the Helldivers is the Atmospheric Spores, but if you're a casual diver who just likes getting the main objectives done and don't want/need to complete every side objective, this causes very little trouble.
Now, the Automatons. Before you even hit the ground you can be at a disadvantage, if the AA Defenses modifier is applied to your mission, you lose a stratagem slot, which depending on the mission/situation, you may desperately need. On the battlefield 3/19 (variants included) of the enemy types have primary melee weapons while those same 3 also have ranged damage. Engaging them requires the Helldivers to more carefully pick their fights, every bad decision can easily lead to your demise. Do you have your support weapon? Are your stratagems available? Will a wandering patrol hear the firefight and engage you from a flank? There are many more variables to consider. Is that Cannon Tower turning towards me? Do those Scout Striders have an angle on me? They have area denial defenses; having your Eagle strike temporarily disabled by the Anti-Air emplacements, being actively bombed from their Mortar Emplacements, or the possibility of being spotted by the Detector Tower that, if alerted, will constantly supply the Automatons your exact location until destroyed. Assaulting a fabricator outpost? Hope you took out most of the manned machine gun nests that will shred you to pieces if it makes contact. The Factory Striders are a whole beast themselves. The periodic fabrication of Devastators, the cannon turret mounted up top for area denial, or the machine guns mounted to the front. Pick your poison when engaging these hulking steel monstrosities, and I didn't even mention how much ordinance can be dropped on them and they'll still be standing! Gunships provide more than subtle air support, peppering you with their miniguns, or blowing the Helldivers up with their rocket barrages. You cannot run and gun against the Automatons, you will not make it back to your Super Destroyer if you do.
You fight the horde against the Terminids, you fight a WAR with the Automatons. Both factions employ two vastly different playstyles that not everyone has figured out yet. And that doesn't mean it's just a "skill issue" because it's not one. I'd put money on that majority of Helldivers began their career on the Terminid front, and maybe they just stuck with it. Maybe the run and gun playstyle is just more appealing rather than the tactical, decision-making approach. Maybe they on god just wanna roleplay Starship Troopers and kill the Arachnids on Erata Prime. Either way, it doesn't just come down to "game bad" or "Bot hard" or "Bugs more fun :)" Just like the game itself, there are many variables to consider, and by no means do I have the lone and perfect solution. I do think something needs to change so that we have our forces where we need them to be, whether it be fighting bots or bugs, but during that process we CANNOT forget that we are all fighting in the name of Democracy and Liberty. After all, this is our very way of life.
If you read this far, I thank you, I really would love to see the community be able to come together again like in the first few weeks at launch when we all waged war against Super Earth's enemies. And you pondering upon the solution gives me hope that we can make it work somehow. I'll be trying to reply to comments when I can.
TL:DR: The Automatons play much differently than the Terminids and some players haven't fully realized the issue and we need to all work together to figure out the solution.

Hi everyone! What do you think of this chat I've made?
The main idea was to give the conlang a scandinavian style but adding some custom stuff (despite having a very simple and flexible word order).

Any advice is welcome.(sorry first post and not a great story teller) TIFU. I’m a senior in high school and we are doing all of the senior activities such as senior assassin, senior sleepover, senior bonfire , etc. Well, we had a new one called “dare night”. This is basically when everyone gets a list of 100 dares and they have to complete the most and whoever wins gets the prize pool. Some backstory, I just had prom the week before and took a date. We’ve been talking for a while, but we never were going to make it official (since we’re leaving for college in two months) and never had the conversation about being exclusive or not. She’s extremely beautiful and a great person to be around with. However, her mom is a little weird and it kind of throws me off so that kind of keeps me a little distant from having a relationship with her. The second time I hung out and went to her house her mom told me she stalked my families, Instagram, and Facebook. That’s gotta be weird right? Earlier that day, she had also just had gone out with me to dinner with my family. OK onto the story. During the night we were coming to a close and we needed more points and since all my friends were either too plastered to do dares or doing dares while I ended up doing something I was forced to do three dares that were questionable. The first one was I got a hickey on my stomach and then I ended up giving a hickey on someone’s rib cage. Both were girls and I knew them but werent we arent friends. but it meant nothing at all. it was for the points. basically one of the main points that we could get was give someone their first kiss. And since everyone was doing something I figured might as well, but then I had kind of a thing with the one girl so I was kind of confused. I ended up, kissing her on the side of the mouth, so it wasn’t full lip to lip. Before I had ate a raw onion, a full jar of pickle juice and an entire lemon and some other things. So I knew my breath was gonna be stinky. Well, you have to record the video so now my friends have it and they know this girl and I don’t know what I’m gonna do. Do I just tell her or do I try to get everyone to keep it under wraps eventually she’ll probably find out i’ll have to have the conversation with her. I plan on talking about this to her soon though because i do feel guilty even though we arent official. but please give me advice if you can. I’m really stuck on how to go about this. And again, any advice to approach this is welcome. TL;DR TIFU I gave someone their first kiss for a senior dare night while im “talking” to another girl(prom date the week before) Who ate with my family 5 hours earlier. Any advice on how I should handle this?

Well, I've heard if Cisco Easter Eggs, but this is a weird one.
I work at a local ISP for my region, and we have one of our employees working on getting the hardware ready for infrastructure upgrades. One of the devices he's working on is a Catalyst 3750.
Well, he sent us a copy of the startup config file and most of it is this strange conspiracy story.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?

I've had this boxed up for a while, but tested it 2 days ago and it still functions well. Lenses are clear and the tracking works as expected.
Feel free to message me with any questions you might have.

hello everyone or anyone or more realistically no one. I am here to hopefully meet someone and develop a genuine connection. I recently got out of a relationship... probably a few months ago and was feeling a little down and I don't really like dating apps so I thought I would give this a try. so hopefully I could find someone interesting that also finds me interesting and we could build something together whether that's purely a friendship or relationship.
so on to the details, I am obviously 29 from california, im pretty liberal or progressive or whatever you want to call it so I would probably get along more with people who are open minded. just so you all know I do have piercing and tattoos, which I know can be a deal breaker for some, im what I guess some would call alternative and definitely attracted to alternative women but that's is far from necessary. I love listening to music and going to shows, so if you have any recommendations please let me know. I'm very much into a lot of different types of metal, indie, jazz, noise, honestly im pretty open to new music. I very much enjoy playing video games, my favorite all time is probably elden ring I might go back for another play through as it's been such a long time. anything dark or horror related is my favorite to talk about, watch or experience. I have frequently asked people what's your favorite scary movie but no one really gets the reference even though that is still a legitimate question.
as much of a homebody as I am indo enjoy going out with the right person and experiencing new things. nature and animals I absolutely love. it makes kind of sense as I work with plants and going back to school for that field as well. just so you know also vegan. as far as animals go inhave a bunch of cats, I've had many dogs in my life but none right now, and im thinking about getting a snake as well, long story short if you need animal pictures I got you on all the pictures.
I am pretty terrible at introductions,as im pretty shy but after a bit and especially one on one I tend to become way more talkative and rant as you can probably tell already.
I'm really not looking for anything in particular, just hopefully a good connection and genuine soul. I can be a little bit clingy but im working on that. I will say that I do hope I could find someone that could potentially materialize into a relationship but does not have to.
well I thinks that's all I have for now, maybe we'll talk soon.

Hello everyone, I been posting here a bit and thought I would do a intro. I'm 31, never really dated, obliviously Christian men in the US are at the bottom of the barrel in the dating market, I know most Christian women rather date a nonbeliever as many hold hatred and prejudice against us Christian men but that is not stopping me form trying 😅
[Picture/physical description]
I don't feel as Christian we should be focused outwardly and there is a lot of outwardly to back this up but it seems to be a requirement here, so I'm white, 6ft, dark blond, not fat, but not skinny.
Area of study/work:
I was home schooled and completed school a 3 years early, I spent those 3 years learning all sorts of things most people would not know, I thought myself how to plumb, to basic electrical work, fix cars, computers, appliances, and so many other handy things. I ended up becoming a car wash tech working on most of the systems at a local car wash and helped renovate homes on the side, after that car wash closed down I volunteered at a local charity and was quickly hired on full time, I been there for nearly 10 years now and love the job, most of my co workers are disabled in some way so a lot of friends I have happen to be disabled ether mentally or physically, I wanted to point that out as I know not everyone likes to be around those with mental disabilities and much of my circle is made up of people with all sorts of disabilities.
Hobbies/interests:
A lot of my hobbies revolve around me leaning new things or working with my hands. I love fixing things and tinkering, in the past I raced nitro powered RC cars, fixed cars, I often like to play around with vintage computers and electronics, cooking is anther paste time of mine as well.
Tell us a bit about your Christian journey:
I grew up in a Christian house hold but my family was more legalistic, most my family did not have a personal relationship with the Lord and sadly many of them has fallen form faith. I on the other hand was the black sheep of the family and was saved as a rather young age and I currently go to a non denominational church online with a overseas autistic friend of mine. TBH I'm not picky when it comes to denominations so long as its a good bible believing church I'm happy with it. I feel a lot of Christians should not be hung up on how we worship as we are commanded to love the Lord with all our heart ad to love one anther. That being sad I don't go to church in person anymore as many in my area are not preaching the Gospel and peach hate more then anything
What sort of person are you looking for?
First and foremost I'm looking for someone who is putting Christ first in their lives, I'm rather flexible passed that. I don't have a type when it comes to looks and feel that judging a date on the way they look is foolish. However there are a few things I wanted to bring up, I don't believe in divorce what so ever, to me its never a option nor will I do anything sexual outside of marriage, I also prefer to be around people who don't beat around the bush. I also never been able to date anther christian before, sadly in today day and age Christian man are not wanted in the dating market so my experience in dating and knowing what I want is next to zero so I'll be learning as I go so to say.
Age range:
I'm not picky on age at all, older or younger is fine, to me age it just a number but given my personality I think younger would be far better. Someone 18-25 on a personality level would likely be more compatible with me however I tend to have interests that would liable me a old soul and most of my closest friends are far older then me. I also grew up in a bit of a cultural bubble and form a pop cultural stand point you would think I'm from gen X. So I can see things working out just as well with someone older too.
Would you be willing to do long distance/relocate?
Being a Christian man living in the USA I know that 99% women would not want anything to do with me and I'm fully open to dating outside the US so distance is not a problem, I'm not to keen on relocating but given the right person I would think about it. I'm a home owner and live in a very good, safe town and have a good job so I think it would be best if you moved to were I live.
EDIT:
I wanted to point out I come form a rather wealthy family and my family can be rather snobby and prime/proper about some things, wile I am nothing like then and live very humbly I wanted to point that out as it can be a shocker to find simple old me comes form such a family.

Hello Cat Help
I have 4 cats Beag(M 11), Bun(M 10), Higs(F 6), and Mo(F 3). Beag used to have a littermate sibling Finn until last year when Finn unexpectedly passed away from complications with insulin resistance. All cats are a healthy weight and have seen a vet within the last year.
When Finn was still here - the dynamic was mostly that he and Beag spent their time together (Beag was very annoying to him, but Finn took it like a champ), and the three younger cats, while sometimes playing with Finn mostly played with one another, slept togethehung out together. We live in a 3 bedroom house with a partially finished basement with ample cat shelves/trees/scratchers/beds - that they have full domain over, as well as access to a screened in porch when the weather is nice.
Recently (as in the last 3 months) Beag's behavior has gotten to be what I can summarize as annoying. I dont mean that in a mean way, as I love the guy, but its almost as if he is purposely putting himself in situations that bother both the humans and cats in my house. These include - rushing into rooms to try to somehow get there first, being directly underfoot/in the main points of traffic (for both cats and humans), lying directly in front of a point of attention (ontop of cat toys, in front of screens, in front of books, in front of food), and incessant meowing. I say it's annoying to both cats and humans - because he's doing this attention seeking to the other cats in the house too - like putting himself into their line of sight/paths purposefully. Now this would all be totally fine and understandable - if he wasnt a jerk about it. With the other cats - he acts as if he's being bullied before anything happens - yeowls and moans and is the first to bop them. The other cats are pretty tolerant and mostly try to avoid him - but its gotten to the point where he's just bullying them out of snooze spots, or disrupting their play to get in the way and then act like a victim.
My husband and I try to give him attention, but regardless of how much we dote on him or try - he just seems consistently unhappy. He also seems to have a new obsession with booking it out our front door - which never happened before. He's done this and jumped outside into a bush several times, only for us to bribe him back in with cookies. While he's out there he seems confused and scared - like he has no plan. I dont know what he's trying to accomplish out there - and none of my other cats do this - and there's no signs of other cats/things to make it worthwhile. (note he's done this even with screened in porch access)
Our first thought was "oh crap maybe he's sick" thinking he could have an undiagnosed condition like his brother had had - but he got a clean bill of health at the vet, is a healthy weight, and free feeds like all our other cats.
We've tried one on one attention with him- dedicating time and making a big deal because we know things have been different with Finn gone, but he's not thrilled with that either. He tolerates it - but mostly just continues to meow and move around while we try to pet him in a very restless manner.
To add to the mix - I'm pregnant and expecting my 2nd baby any day now. I know that the cats can sense something is up with our families' behavior - but it seems to just be making him worse and I worry that the new baby and stress, smells, and sounds will only exacerbate his issues.
I'm tempted to get him evaluated for anxiety - but I'll also add that he is not a good boy at the vet. He had some trauma as a kitten with the vet (urine crystals) and since is actively hostile there - so much so that they do try to get him in and out as quickly as possible and often tell us not to bring him in. (Our other cats are fine).
Anyone have thoughts of suggestions? My heart breaks for him knowing he's probably lonely given he's made enemies out of our other three cats (and has even frustrated our toddler) - but I'm also getting tired of tripping over him - and I just don't want to see him get worse.

So I have my FW16 for about 2 months now (batch 7) and I was wondering what things you don't like about your laptop so far? I'm not here to trash my Framework or anything, but sometimes people have ideas to "fix issues" and I've seen a few Framework employees here! I will start:

1. I'm not a fan of the touchpad spacer. I understand they are needed to move the touchpad, but they kind of kill the aesthetic of the laptop (they can be slightly moved when locked, and are not the exact same shade). Also, they clip at the bottom but not the top, which makes them lift near the keyboard so it doesn't end up flush with the frame.
2. I like having 2 USB4 ports; it's not as bad as I expected, but the charging cable that comes with the FW16 has a 90-degree angle (which I love). However, it gets in the way of the USB4 ports if you want to use them while charging. They should have put the USB4 port in the middle (I switched the cable to use the straight USB-C on my laptop because I use both USB4 ports).
3. While using it, it can get really uncomfortable. The edges are kind of sharp near the lock for the touchpad. I'm good because I mainly use an external keyboard, but when I need to type on the Framework keyboard, it gets uncomfortable. But maybe it's just me.

So like I said, the post is not negative, just trying to get opinion.

Let us imagine, my friends, that it is the 10th anniversary of Robert's reign. He and a lot of the nobles are out on a hunt when King's Landing explodes into a giant ball of green flames. Some homeless orphan, or maybe even one of Varys' little birds, goes exploring, stumbles onto one of Aerys' forgotten caches, it catches fire and triggers a chain reaction. Too bad so sad. Northmen, Dornishmen, and Iron Islanders did not have anyone of importance attending, but the rest of the Kindgoms lose many an important player in the game.
• Loras was at the hunt, but Olenna, Mace the Ace and Margaery, invited to the capital by Renly, who, being the groomer that he is decided to start the Lyanna lookalike thing young, were all toast. Willas and Garlan have weathered the storm, having stayed at home, and they were in general smart cookies, but not Queen of Thorns level smart, and nearly not as power-hungry. They just wanted to chill and grieve now.
• The Iron Islands have barely begun to recover from their last attempt at independence, but the Great Fire presented them with an opportunity like none other, and so they have made a half-arsed attempt at ploundering the Western coast of the Seven Kingdoms. In Winterfell, young Theon loses his head.
• Jon Arryn, Lysa, Sweetrobin, and Baelish were unsurprisingly in King's Landing at the time. They did not attend the hunt, and now they also were all toast. Harry was still a green boy at the time, the lords were not pleased with the prospect of a regency, many of them wanting absolute power for their own now that the main Arryn line was extinct, the Mountain Clans saw that as a good omen and went on a rampage. The Vale was in turmoil.
• Tywin and Kevan attended the feast but not the hunt, as they were visiting Cersei and her children at the time. They, too, were all toast. Jaime and Lancel could not get out of their respective Kingsguard and page duties due to Bobby B being petty for once, so they survived, but now a succession crisis in the Westerlands was also in place with the potential heirs being a grief-stricken and deeply unlikable Kingslayer with a vow of celibacy, a deeply unlikable whoremonger Imp, and a green boy.
• Edmure was also in King's Landing, visiting Lysa, and opted to visit a tavern with several other prominent Riverlands heir lads, so can you guess what they all became? You are goddamn right! Toast! So now Hoster, who was already at the first stages of his terminal illness and could not perform, only had the Blackfish, who wasstill refusing to marry, and the Stark kids for heirs. Several other houses were experiencing similar issues, but apparently while everybody else was grieving, Old Walder held a massive celebration at the Twins. Oh, and make no mistake, he will also be pushing for Genna and Emmon's kids to inherit Casterly Rock, and let us not forget about trying to put all of his daughters into newly widowed Robert's bed. How 'nice'.
• As previously mentioned, Cersei and all three of Robert's golden 'heirs' were home at the time. Tragically, so was the Mannis. Which means now Bobby's heirs were a gay pedo, a greyscale-ridden girl, and a score of bastards. Not that that was of any concern to Robert, he normally would not give a rat's arse about any of them dying. The matter in which they had died, though? Now, that is another thing entirely! Wildfire is a clear mark of the work of DRAGONSPAWN! Without Jon Arryn or dear old Ned to steady him, he declared war on the entire continent of Essos to deal with DRAGONSPAWN! for good. Screw securing his line, he can do it later. Everybody in Westeros thought this idea was bonkers and a clear sign of his own Targ ancestry coming out, and they surely had their own problems to deal with, but oh well, he was King. For now. And oh, where are the Targs by the way?
• While Dorne has rejoiced and begun discreetly gathering troops in Viserys' name, Vizzy the Mad himself and his sister were nowhere to be found. For all of his abundant mental issues, Viserys was slippery as an eel and has gotten very good at hiding in the slums of whatever Free City he was in at the time. Dozens of Robert and Illyrio's agents were out to get him, and he could not really distinguish him from Doran's agents, could he? In the end, though, Doran proved fleetingly victorious, until Vizzy got felled by a shadow demon at the docks, just as he was about to set sail for Westeros. Oh yeah. Melisandre had decided to shift her attentions to Bobby dearest, proclaiming him Azor Ahai reborn, and had managed to calm him down a little with her magical nether regions, promising and delivering on a bit more boring yet far more quicker way to get rid of the Targs. In the process, Daenerys had escaped, but had also gotten the short end of the stick by encountering the same type of wizard young Varys had, who promptly caught her and made her permanently barren, Aretuza-style. This is no maegi curse. Not even a dragon can grow a secong uterus. She may or may not get her dragons several years down the line, but her own line definitely ended with her.
• Speaking of Illyrio. With Varys having perished in the fire, he became the head of the whole fAegon operation, and started aggressively marketing the young 'King' to the Seven Kingdoms. The thing is, word of a dead Spider, one-sided letters in cypher, and word of JonCon who is easily led and could be convinced Aegon Jinglebell Frey was the son of his Silver Prince if you told him enough sentimental plattitudes, is not enough. That kid could be any random Lyseni or dragonseed. And the Golden Company's involvement only made the whole shebang more sus. It still gave them a modicum of support... until their glorious homecoming ship got caught in a storm in the Narrow Sea and drowned. fAegon, the sole survivor, was now best bros with Patchface and his namesake Jinglebell. The fiasco, however, gave many an enterprizing man on both sides of the Narrow Sea an idea, and Westeros became inundaded with dozens of various fAegons, fViseryses, fRhaenyses, fDaeneryses, and even an occasional fRhaegar and f'Dragonwolf', all claiming the same thing. The latter, however, made Catelyn a bit sus, and she wrangled the truth out of her husband.
• It did not make things better, however. You see, dearest not-so-gentlereader, instability South of the Wall made the Night King seize the opportunity a couple of years earlier, bringing terror to the Free Folk, who, in turn, came in troves and brought terror to the North. Ned Stark, unlike his son/nephew, was not one to negotiate with wildings, and young, too young Robb and Jon, both eager for glory despite being barely into their teens, snuck onto the battlefield and both died by enemy arrows.
• In the end, an unlikely Suicide S̶q̶u̶a̶d̶ Duo of Bobby B and Dany on dragons tried having their last stand against the Others but failed. Oh well. At least no future Westerosi will worry about not having an air conditioner in a heatwave now. You know we all do. Ain't that, in a way, a happy ending?

I just got a Jasion EB5 and put it together. This is my first E bike and mountain bike, although I've ridden both in the past very sparsely. It's also my first time assembling a bike, however i followed 2 videos, and the manual. I took it for a quick spin(without the battery its still cgarging), and I'm fairly confident in it's construction. I did however hear clicks when changing the gears, and it felt kind of clunky when doing so. Is this normal? I've also never used the gears on the bikes I've ridden, and my main bike before this was a cruiser, so I feel like I'm entering a new type of vehicle. It rode smooth during the test ride(again with no battery). Does the bike just need to be broken in? What are some good maintenance tips, do's and don'ts of e bike ownership? I've done a decebt bit if research, but would love more advice. This bike is gonna be my main mode of transport for a bit, so any and all advice is welcome. And please explain it like I'm 5. Thanks in advance

Both 20 and each other firsts, been together for 3 years.
Its been 7/8 months after BU. And we are NC since january. I was obsessively contacting her and love/hate bombing her, I was in fact the desperate ex for 1.5/2 months.
We were supposed to meet decembejanuary to make out/have sex. Until she said maybe it would be better not because it would be bad for me etc. And so we didn't meet.
But in midst of it all she mentioned how she had sex with 2 guys and how she was thinking of me and how with me is so different and good. My guts turned upside down. Just after a month of being broken up she did that. Justifying it by saying how everyone moves on differently.
And for some reason i still stayed in contact and still had strong feelings towards her, even though she said that with the intention to hurt me. Couple of days later i get drunk call her to apologize as I again love/hate bombed her. And after about 30 mins of us talking a guy next to her picks up the phone and tells me how he is better etc etc and she agrees on it. And how bad I am (sex wise and mentally)
After that i called her a W word and never spoke to her again, blocked her everwhere. (Later on unblocked her just to tell her sorry for calling her that cause even though she deserves it i shouldn't have said it tbh, blocked her right after). That guy was her new boyfriend after a month when she said she is not looking for relationships with others just exploring and living her youth.
Which was the main reason she broke up with me. Yeah there was distance and I wasn't the picture perfect boyfriend i was an asshole tbh for some mistakes i did. But her first initial reason was that she felt like shes missing out and that we are unaware what we need in life, and that we should break up and live our lives date other people and if it's meant to be we will get back together. Just that we shouldn't wait for each other. As she just cant shake off that feeling and its better to break up now then 10 years later when we are married.
Again gut wrenching as she quite literally stated she wants other guys and not me. I wouldn't have an issue to get into a relationship with a girl that have had 10 guys before me but she didnt know me before them. Then to have someone be with me for 3 years break up with me and come back 5 years later with 20+ bodies.
She "apologized" for mentioning and explaining in detail for what she did with guys.
And all of this happend over a half a year ago and its on my mind alot these days. As one side of me thinks how she just wasnt happy in a relationship, plus me being desperate plus this being her first time experiencing break up and her friends and family being against me, made her SO bitter in the end. And other side of me is like fuck it she knew what she was doing and she intentionally did it.
I was happy asf in our relationship, and after BU she just turned 180°..
Im contemplating so much right now as she was just someone that I wouldn't change even one bit during our relationship. And i knew she wasn't like this when we were together. But I'm constantly thinking about wanting her in my life and not wanting her anymore because I dont know how to feel about everything she's done to me. And other then her not loving me i still think she is the same person, still the person i would want to have for life.

I'm trying to join the marines. I qualify for almost every job, and I want to lock in infantry. My recruiter says I have to pick three and he'll give me one when my ship date comes around.
Well I was fortunate enough to run into a group of four marines a few days back. I talked to them about it and three of them said they locked in the first two numbers in their MOS and the fourth guy said he locked in his specific MOS. He even showed me a picture of his original contract from like nine years ago.
I tried going to the other marine corps recruiter near me, and after explaining the situation, he said he won't help me since I'm already talking to another recruiter. What should I do?
Also, this is just a seperate question. I tried finding more stuff about locking in a specific MOS and all I could find were dudes from like a decade ago saying they were able to. Is that not a thing anymore?
