Hello again! I’m not sure if you’ve seen my other posts about a fandom roleplay but this one is gonna be about any roleplay in general, fandoms included. This’ll be pretty detailed and I’ll let you know the parts if you want to skip ahead (I suggest you don’t). If you don’t wanna read all of this, then don’t. This was made for people willing to read blocks of paragraphs and maybe even respond with their own.
INTRODUCTION
My name is Hina. To know more about me, I hail from Japan and I have been an avid writer ever since I moved to the States when I was 11. My second language is English but I believe it’s been pretty good. I recently turned 22 years old and I'm female. Talking about age, I would be comfortable with you being 17+ and preferably at least 20. Roleplaying with minors isn’t a big thing for me, I apologize. I’m in the west coast, PST timezone. Let’s see.. What other information can I give you? I would say I enjoy skating, basketball, watching tv shows and anime, and reading. My favorite anime is Nana and Death Note.
GENRES + FANDOM
I am not looking for a specific roleplay. I would say i’m skilled in all genres. Sci-fi, fantasy, horror, apocalypse. All of that. Even slice of life, though that depends on what type of plot exactly. To be more specific on each genre, starting off with fantasy, I'm more used to high fantasy and mythology. I’m not that great with medieval, unfortunately. DnD based role plays aren’t really fit for me and I struggle playing with species like ogres. Just putting that out here. For fantasy, I don’t have any specific ideas.
Sci-fi is the genre I have more skill in. Most of my roleplays are based off of them! Specifically, I’m fine with all subgenres of that.
For other genres like horror and apocalypse, I do have some taste. I really like monsters and creepy things from the horror genre like vampires and all of that and I even have my own idea set up in older times dealing with vampire lords and hunters and all of that. I also enjoy eldritch type horror. I also like that one sun genre of it, like video game horror? I’m not sure how to describe it. I also forgot if it even has an official name or if it’s just something used to describe the horror genre. I like Resident Evil, so maybe that’ll tell you the type of horror I usually enjoy. I do have a developed idea of something more eldritch horror.
More on fandoms! To get some other things down, I usually only play OC unless the character you want me to play is one I know more about and I'm more comfortable playing. The fandoms I like in the more anime way are Jojo’s, Nana, Death Note, JJK, AOT, Haikyuu, and probably more. I’m well versed in the Jojo’s, Aot, and JJK fandoms but less knowledgeable on Death Note since i’ve only seen it once. Other fandoms i’m in include ATLA, TLOK, Harry Potter, Resident Evil, Marvel, DC, and many more.
CHARACTERS
I tend to use character sheets to describe my character, these usually consist of names, background, and personality. More so on appearances, I prefer using animated or drawn references than real life people. I enjoy good enough references where I get the idea of how the character would look like.
The types of characters I write are either the lone wolf type that has some sad past which leads them to want to join someone for a redemption arc or the bubbly character who is the one that brings the mood up and is usually seen as trustworthy and of that kind.
I like all types of tropes, especially enemies to lovers or rivalry. I also really enjoy opposites attract as a whole from either opposite personality or something else they would be opposites in. Enemies to lovers takes my heart, though. I love seeing the characters go past the urge to ultimately hate each other and/or go past their usual way of disliking the others lineage or upcoming.
REQUIREMENT
I think this is my last paragraph on the roleplay. It’s the most important, at least. Requirements. All roleplay searches come with them. Or at least that’s what I heard! But don’t fret, there isn’t much.
I’ve seen this as one of the most used requirements, and I agree with it. As someone who’s first language wasn’t English, I understand that you may not be great at it. But please, I do require a partner that at least has proper use of grammar and punctuation. You don’t even have to use big words or anything, just at least know where to put your periods and the placement of your words.
My second requirement is for you to be LITERATE! Please. I’m a big writer, I tend to ramble on and tend to write more than what I thought I would. (like i’m doing right now) I write multiple paragraphs from the starter until the scene relaxes. I also understand that sometimes writing big blocks of words every response is tiring or boring so I don’t expect it all the time, at least after the starter has been made and in more important scenes. Dialogue also cuts my replies shorter.
Please please please be polite in OOC! We may just be role playing together but kindness goes all ways. If we do include OOC, I enjoy talking about many things. My day, movies, games, funny moments and stories, all of that!
I think that’s the end to this wonderful journey of an ad about my search. I hope you are still here, fellow writer! I would LOVE it if you reached out to me! This wasn’t all for nothing, right!
But don’t leave yet! I do have a passcode. I know this was a jumble of words and rambling but I still have to put one in. I heard that there’s a lot of people on here that don’t read things fully and miss out on rules or information! But.. Just because you read through this all, I’ll gladly give you options on the passcode! Also please put in an introduction of yourself! Don’t think “Oh maybe I shouldn’t bother this person with too much to read”! I like seeing big blocks.
PASSCODE:
What’s your dream country to travel to and why?
OR
Who’s your favorite TV show / Cartoon / Game / Anime character?
Feel free to pick both! Now, that’s all from me. Please don’t put your request as just “Wanna rp”!

2024.05.24 00:25 Comprehensive-War571 Yeah, I get it. Eugene owed me nothing.
I watched the video today because I've been watching Eugene and these men since Buzzfeed. I hated how produced to death the whole thing was. I hated how much Botox and cosmetics Rachel had on her face for what was supposed to be an impromptu feeling thing. No producer is that camera ready on set, ever.
I hate that he made time to make a video again, just to plug his own crap after having us wait this long for a real answer on his plans. He had the time to make that promotional video on the channel for Nimona, but couldn't pull it together to do a Rank King video while his friends were struggling with life and death issues. No tears actually left his eyes and his makeup didn't move.
I had to move on as a fan and no, I won't be checking out his new adventures. He didn't respect me as a long time viewer, I feel, with that scripted bullshit Wizard of Oz ending.
I guess I just feel hollow about all of it, hollow and sad, like he tried to sell me a used Buick. Again, I get that he didn't owe me anything. I just wish saying goodbye wasn't a part of selling me something else.

2024.05.24 00:23 Wonderful_Strain773 AITA for wanting to move to Australia, leaving my boyfriend behind?
For a little context. I (22f) and my (21m) boyfriend dated for just over a year before braking up because long distance was getting a bit much for him. We studied on opposite sides of the country (about 2 hour flight) and could only see each other every 3-4 months (he did know this before entering the relationship). We spent the following majority of the year with no contact until he got in touch again and we conversed as friends. It was discussed that if and when I return to his side of the country (where I'm originally from) We could reignite the relationship if we felt like it. However, things started getting hazy before that in the sense of him going back and forth between saying I am is gf and then I'm not. After confusion and discussion we decided to just make it official to avoid any more confusion.
I just got back from a trip to Australia to see family. It was a month long and entirety of that month our communication consisted of how shitty life is without me and how I must come back. I battled with the sim cards and signal as well as the drastic difference in time zones for when we could talk, so it was disheartening to hear constant negativity. It was to the point where I didn't get to tell him about all the amazing things there or even how my day went which swung back at me as he accused me of not talking to him and not telling him anything. In this time he also stated that he thinks I'm going to brake up with him when I come back from my trip, along with the fact that he will brake up with me if I decide I want to move to Australia because he doesn't want to do long distance.
Problem is that I do want to go there. There are job opportunities in my field along with the support system of my family encouraging me to come over, my best friend wanting to do this journey with me as well. He is unable to come with me till he's done studying. We have talked about moving to another country but he wanted to amount funds to support himself when he gets there (fair). However, to do that from our currency to dollor is going to take at least 6-10 years of work and saving. So having the opportunity for family to support me, I suggested that I go now and save up so he can move over when he's done studying with my support. It'll only be about 1-2 years at most of long distance where we'd make the effort of traveling during the holidays to see each other.
He wants nothing to do with any idea of long distance. His only options are to stay till he's ready or we brake up. He will only agree to anything else if there is a signed agreement in place. His insistence on staying or braking up, along with me trying my very best to pull at every string of idea to make it work otherwise without a signing or waiting my life away, has absolutely exhausted me.
We both want to make it work, we both want to be together. Using this opportunity now while I have nothing holding me back (except him) to create a stepping stone for us to grow our lives would do great for our future. He believes I will leave and he will simply be left behind. We've talked and argued about it at length since I've retured. We've gotten nowhere in terms of what to do.
We have gotten to the point where we acknowledge we have a communication and security issue. We're working on just talking to each other again. I make sure I understand what he's saying and feeling by reiterating but when I ask to be reiterated, he doesn't know, he retells his own emotions or he just says sorry, gets grumpy and ends the conversation. I've resorted to just saying "ok" and leaving it since I'm exhausted at this point.
AITA to effectively ruining my relationship because I want to go to Australia?

We have gotten to the point where we acknowledge we have a communication and security issue. We're working on just talking to each other again. I make sure I understand what he's saying and feeling by reiterating but when I ask to be reiterated, he doesn't know, he retells his own emotions or he just says sorry, gets grumpy and ends the conversation. I've resorted to just saying "ok" and leaving it since I'm exhausted at this point.
AITA to effectively ruining my relationship because I want to go to Australia?
2024.05.24 00:22 MediumSavings4968 Dad got fired from a publication firm but got the last laugh instead
Note: as the original subreddit this story was hosted on originally has been shut down. I've decided to repost this story here in the Ripe Stories subreddit. I'm also updating it, and correcting it somewhat for clarification. I believe ripe read it some years ago in a video. but here goes Hope you enjoy
the background of the story starts in the late '70s, early '80s. My dad had just moved to town, barely going out with my mom. my dad was down on his luck and out of a job just moving to the area when he applied to a local Publication company. The company published a newspaper, a pair of magazines, and on occasion some large local event-related specials. The Publication firm offered Dad a job at the lowest level in the printing presses. Dad takes the job eagerly. Dad for the next 20 years moves his way through the various parts of the company doing multiple positions with always very pleased managers. Dad always went above and beyond for his coworkers (fills in for them no questions asked, takes overtime, and Volunteers for the harder assignments.) Dad made it to the supervisor levels but got moved so he could know the whole business in its entirety.
(Me, personally I grew up in the '90s and lived to watch this whole thing through till the last moment. I find myself thinking fondly of watching him work, watching him talk, and sitting in his office with his coworkers. )
in 2000 the publication company was bought out from a private owner and sold to a smallish publication firm. That firm only held it for a few years before selling it to the highest bidder, and so a larger publication firm took it over.
The new company starts by firing anyone non-union and hires new staff at a lower wage. Slowly the company begins to fire union members by using various methods. In that time Dad had seen a great many good coworkers be either retired, fired, or forced out. Dad went through a great many bosses. Dad had an older Legacy Union contract so they definitely would have trouble firing him. So the company moved Dad through varying departments and finally as a last ditch effort they move him to work in the distribution department. The company called it a horizontal promotion.
Dad worked in that department till 2011. At the start of 2011, Dad was introduced to a young new Manager, "The Kid" Dad called him. (Considering Dad's age, anyone could have been called a kid.) Dad was asked to train the kid on how Dad did his job so well.
So Dad took the kid along for a ride along. Dad likes to use the personal touch when it comes to meetings. Rather than over the phone or in email, Dad prefers sit-downs and in-person meetings with people. So Dad took the "kid" to varying convenience stores, salons, and just about anywhere the publication would be either displayed, subscribed to, or sold. Dad always kept up with new shops in the area so he could make appointments with varying store owners and have new places for sales. the kid stayed in the car or was more occupied with his smartphone. Dad also showed the kid how to do research and write up Projection reports. Keep in mind, these Projection reports were Voluntary (NOT REQUIRED), but the higher ups appreciated them and they also helped Dad keep his job.
Now each year my father would put in Bid for a territory in the distribution department. I should note Dad also taught the kid how to make his own bid. The bid itself consisted of basically how much it would cost to do his job (including operation costs, fuel, etc), and then show how much distribution he could gain over that year. He each year alongside his Bid would include his projection report as evidence. (for clarification: You wanted to have a larger distribution but for the lowest cost, as far as the company was concerned). The Kid Notes to Dad Hes gonna place a bid on a territory. Dad encourages him. Dad was shocked when he found out he was outbid by the kid for the same territory. the kid had well underbid my dad by 50%. The Kid's strategy was to use cold calls, email, and ads for new distribution. He Projected his sales to double over the next year by cutting staff and "needless" driving around. Dad knew the kids report was falsified as his figures didn't make any mathematical sense. dad knew the company lived on these reports and warned his higher-ups once he got to see "the kid's Projection report.
Since Dad's bid was rejected, the company used this as an excuse to fire my father. Dad packed his desk and left. On the day Dad was fired, he realized he never submitted the projection report to his higher-ups and since that report was Voluntary, Dad withheld the report out of pettiness. Dad found out through a friend/ former coworker, that the Kid was a plant from the Parent company. he was solely hired to outmaneuver my father. (nothing we can prove due to lack of evidence) He had access to my father's bid (the bids were supposed to be kept secret, only known to the company, not the distributors) and as said earlier faked his Projection report.
Dad was hurt, but dad decided to pick himself up and started a convenience store. In the following years, at Dad's former job, the kid messed up time after time. What the kid didn't know was two things. First was certain allowances like travel fuel expenses, Budget for buying shelf space, etc.. Basically, the company was paying Dad to drive to the locations and stir up new business. the second thing (and a bigger one) Dad had made a Prediction in his Projections. His prediction was that distribution was going to plummet. why? the app-based and digital-based market was growing. People were now able to get their publications on smartphones, via their email or read directly on their computer on a web browser. The kid put in another bid the next year and the year following. Each time the company went along with him and they lost more and more distribution. Convenience stores were no long going to be carrying any of their publications due to loss of sales and strained relationships. Home subscriptions were going to rival publications that already had a digital presence, and so the company was barely holding on. The publication blamed the kid for the sales loss, and for not seeing this on the horizon.
They approached my father 3 years after firing him, begging him to return. Dad said "absolutely no" to his former managers.
Dad ended up starting a chain of 3 convenience stores. meanwhile, his former job, the publication company, tried to stir up a digital version too little too late. the company is now a shadow of what it once was. Dad's last contact inside told us the following: you can't really find their publications in any convenience stores, The printing press is now in another state, The home delivery department constantly tries to fight with USPS for lower delivery costs, and the distribution department was whittled down to 2 people (formally 12.) They're down to a single magazine and a newspaper that nobody heard of.

2024.05.24 00:21 Puzzleheaded_Eye5989 Co-parent getting back together with second partner....
So, this last month, the father of my child has been trying to be amicable with their previous partner. I love that for him, truly, but with that i have a few concerns/sentiments coming up.
This morning at pick up, she (his ex) was there, and truly there is no ill-feelings with her, i love her to pieces, we all are friends on FB and have shown each other love in public spaces, and online spaces, nothing ill to speak at all.
Sadly, their past is riddled in trauma, heartbreak and separation of course. In fact, their youngest together has never actually seen their parents together. This is honestly a big milestone and really just want them to be happy, whether that it together or apart, obviously together would be best for the children's sake.
My heart though cannot help but feel some kind of way for my daughter. Here she is, in the midst of the middle; the only daughter from her father that has split custody of two boys, the men/boys in her life love her very much....no doubt. And here I am, newly engaged with the talk to more children to be had....
and I'm wondering if anyone has any insights on how that would fair mentally and emotionally for my child. I know that i may be putting the cart before the horse, but focusing on ACE's tests, her own neurodivergence, and how it may feel growing up in spaces where the siblings in her life have "buddies" (children born of the same parents) and here she is a mixture of blended life, caught between families with the potential of feeling like she doesn't belong to either.
How can i foster a healthy mentality NOW so that she is set up for the future, for those tricky teen years, for those moments where she could feel alone when her other siblings maybe leave her out, ect.
TLDR: My daughter is the only one between two households with multiple siblings, how can i help her feel connected to all families for the future of her mental and emotional health. She is 3.
thank you for reading, and if you are an adult with insights on navigating the same type of family dynamic, how did you fair growing up?

2024.05.24 00:20 yeoldgroudon Post uni my life has been pretty bad but I’m not depressed like I use to be but stuck in a loop I need help
I finished uni a year ago studying a bachelors degree that was design and programming as well. So I did studio subjects like UX, UI, product design, data visualisation, web design, JavaScript coding, animation stuff like that pretty in demand stuff when I was studying it and there was heaps of jobs and a big demand for UX. I also did designathons assisted with PhD research in VR and more research. I worked hard and got high grades and ended up getting a strong portfolio together which my mentor currently said is better than some designers he knows. The only problem now is that the job market is terrible due to tech layoffs and no one is hiring due to a bad economy and over saturation of UX designers from boot camps.
I did have a final interview the other day for a large company that had over 1000 applicants for the role and I was one on the six to make it to the final round but sadly they hired other people because I lacked experience even though it was entry level and I was told to do an internship instead because they said it’s fast paced and think I’d struggle but they never seen me work and I don’t want an internship I want a job I’m nearly 25. Why does entry level need experience they said in the email they’ll teach you on the job. But I guess I’m alright to make it to the final six out of 1000 while only two were hired.
But there are no other jobs idk what to do, all the jobs are mid to senior level. It’s been a year and it looks like I’ll never get a job. I’ve applied for smaller jobs but didn’t even hear back.
So my life’s been a loop for the past year I get up walk my puppy then scroll on my phone all day. I have a mentor who’s given me a list to do to help but I haven’t even done that I feel like it’s pointless. I haven’t exercised in months or done any of my hobbies I just scroll on my phone in my room all day. I don’t even have the energy to place video games or eat normally my diet has gone to crap I barely even brush my teeth anymore.
I’m also feeling like a complete failure I’ve never been in a relationship at 24 and don’t have a career started yet. I’m so ugly I made a post on Reddit for plastic surgery but people said I don’t need it but I can’t believe them I feel like they’re lying trying to be nice and say my face isn’t asymmetrical when I was told I’m a 3/10 and need facial reconstruction surgery. I don’t want to go outside because I’m so ugly and deformed unlike everyone else. Someone called me an incel because I hate my face so much I wanted to die and self harm. What does that have to do with women that’s mean and hurts my feelings I’d never hate women. I don’t even want to do anything at all when I know I’m hideous
My parents are mad at me and say all I do is scroll on my phone and I should go back to uni and study something else or work in data entry or retail stocking shelves. People on Reddit said I should give up and I did a bullshit degree but they’re pretty in demand skills just the market sucks. I know a girl who’s been struggling for nearly 2 years. I’ve been to psychologists but none have been good one nearly fell asleep, one made weird assumptions and one dismissed my problems and said I have different problems. Only my psychiatrist helps
But I don’t feel depressed like I use to. Maybe burnt out and a bit disheartened that I worked so hard for nothing and been told to give up.
I currently have a part time job but that’s about it
Sorry for the long post but I’ve wasted a year pretty much in my bed on my phone. What can I do to fix it my family is mad at me for doing nothing and it’s not like I don’t want to do this. I’m 24 and so far behind in life my younger brothers friends have careers and travel. Am I lazy like they say or is there something wrong with me how to I find motivation to live again. My brothers are doing better than me with gfs and careers while I’m living at home with no future because of the job market
My laptop broke so I bought a MacBook Air but not getting it until next week so hopefully that helps
Sorry for the long post and if I sound whiny I’m just tired and struggling to improve no one’s helped only bend angry at me and making threats like threatening to financially drain me or kick me out because I’ve been struggling. I’m on medication been on it for years but now I’m in a slump i struggle to get out of. I can’t even surf anymore and I live near the beach. And I quit the gym I got a eating disorder from it so I don’t wanna go back
My puppy is all I have right now that’s keeping me active. I literally do nothing it’s almost midnight my sleep schedule is screwed and I haven’t even read a book in like a year I’m just so unmotivated by anything I don’t exercise, don’t eat well, don’t do hobbies, barley have energy to apply for jobs now I can’t do anything but my parents say I’m lazy which I probably am I guess but I never was lazy . I’m ugly and don’t have a career yet which I want, I want to start my life already
I have a lot of free time I should be enjoying it but I want a job
I’ve wasted my 20s

2024.05.24 00:19 Striking-Sympathy-16 Tarkov PVE is very problematic.
So I have to post this here instead of the official subreddit, since apparently they don't allow the discussion of modded versions of the game(even though the below text is EXACTLY what was typed in the body and doesn't mention mods even once)
This comes after playing to level 45 and for the most part maxing out the hideout. There are some things I like and things I dislike as someone who's been waiting and begging for YEARS for a PVE mode. Some of the most glaring issues that are pretty much game breaking imo are listed below.

- Raid timers. We all know they are WAY too short. We all know why. We don't care. We paid WAY to much money for this kind of BS excuses. Fix it. The fact that you can't even take the train on Lighthouse/Reserve because it doesn't show up until the timer runs out(among MANY other issues revolving around short raid timers) is bull...
- Scav spawn rate. At the lower limit it's easily manageable, but I swear to god 50% of raids it feeling like I went in with nothing and I'm tagged & cursed. Like it's not rare to spawn in and spend the entirety of the short time in raid fighting for your life against WAVES of scavs that never stop spawning. Turn it down. Seriously.
- AI spawn proximity. I see on a regular basis AI of all types spawning LITERALLY feet from me sometimes in MID COMBAT. Really?
- AI behavior. It's just crap. They are either deaf, blind and dumb or they are cracked out no-scope gods 1 tapping you through a bush at 300m. Speaking of bushes... WHY do they touch green and just appear to get STUCK refusing to move while simultaneously shooting with perfect accuracy through concealment that they should even be able to see through... since y'know... WE CAN'T. This also applies to ALL AI. Not to mention to numerous time that regardless of factions, all AI just seem to want to team up against you every time they get near each other. I've literally watched SCAVs and PMCs just chillin next to each other just to ALL turn and gun you down the second they notice you form ten miles away. Also an AI spotting you and accurately full autoing from 300m+ with a red dot is just... really?
- PMC AI/loadout. The fact that all PMCs are just the same copy/pasted AI as the raiders, even down to the same predictable kit is just trash. Although I have an insane collection of AVS carriers now, Some variance and chance for actual loot would be nice and would incentivize killing and looting them beyond what's needed for quests. Right now it feels like I'm just dealing with raiders in every map for no reason.
- Rarity of quest essential keys. Some rebalancing here would be nice. Being stuck not able to progress a quest because a BASIC key is 3M+ is stupid. I get some things are affected more by the value of items behind the keys. but West 216 being a 5M Rouble key is just stupid.
- Hit reg, hit boxes & bullet pen/damage. This make ABSOLUTELY no sense. I cannot describe how infuriating it is to LITERALLY HEADSHOT a scav with NO HELMET just for him to turn around and 1 tap me with a gd KEDR in the thorax through my level 4+ armor.
- Game balancing. This is a more nuanced issue, but the fact that PVE is a carbon copy of PVP balancing wise is just not good. They need to be balanced independently of one another, for a variety of reasons, but to sum it up they are different experiences with different nuances to gameplay. This is more of a minor gripe, but still.
2024.05.24 00:19 Livid-Mastodon-2448 Am I out of touch?
Pardon formatting, I’m on my mobile device. Also this is a bit of a long one.
Like the title says, I’m trying to find out if I’m totally out of touch and expecting too much from my husband or if my expectations are reasonable. I’ll try to explain this the best I can.
So this week my mother asked for help moving things to a new storage locker. At first she just assumed my husband would help and didn’t properly ask him, to which he was irritated. He said he doesn’t like anyone to assume his help without asking, and that a majority of time he won’t do anything unless it’s on his time. Which I can somewhat understand. However in my family growing up I was just expected to help family when they need it. So he did say he would help, mostly because he didn’t want me being stuck doing all that.
Small details to add are that my mom has been unmarried and alone for most of my life. We are close-nit. And sometimes she has projects she’s doing that are kind of spur of the moment and spontaneous. To which I have gotten used to and I don’t mind jumping up and helping her when she needs it. So for the storage locker issue she had a time constraint to get all of her stuff out of the old one and into the new one as soon as possible.
So this week my husband and I said we’d help her yesterday, to which we ended up not being able to due to rain and poor weather conditions. So she didn’t reschedule but I figured she’d be asking for help again this week. To which she did this morning. I of course said yes. And it was spontaneous of her I’ll admit, but my husband was planning to spend the day with me today so I woke up and texted him that I was going to be helping my mom today and asked if he was still able to help her out? Well he slept in late and I couldn’t get ahold of him (we aren’t currently living together but trying to work on our marriage), so my mom had promised us a free meal if we helped her. Since I couldn’t get ahold of him and expected him to sleep a long time and my mom needed to get this done, we went ahead and went to the restaurant to eat. He woke up and messaged me while I was there and I asked him if he was going to help and if there was something I could order for him. He said he’d be on his way in 30 minutes, but then he was like “so what, I’m helping out for cold food?”. Super rude and entitled and I called him to get more details because I thought maybe we were miscommunicating. He basically said “we were supposed to do that yesterday and now you want me to do it on my time and I don’t even get a meal out of it now” and hung up on me. I didn’t call back nor did he nor have I received an apology for how he spoke to me.
He hasn’t said anything to me all day. So I guess I’m wondering if this is normally how men treat their wives? Even if it’s something they absolutely loath to do and it isn’t on their schedule (oh another side note is he in not employed right now and hasn’t been for about 2 months) wouldn’t a husband that loves his wife want to do heavy lifting for her if he had the chance? I would do it for my partner even if it was kind of a somewhat last minute thing.
I feel a little let down and like he doesn’t care about me. Am I overreacting? Asking for too much? I can’t help but think a real MAN would jump at the opportunity to make his wife’s life easier.
If you’ve made it this far thanks for reading!

I just watched the Warhammer Skulls Space Marine 2 preview, and if I'm seeing this correctly... Thousand Sons are now finally in a video game for the first time ever, but:
- Judging by the amount of broken armor on the ground in the second screengrab from here, they're just more toy soldiers for Titus to knock over... but that's no real surprise after Boltgun, just a pet peeve because Chaos Space Marines are just like regular Space Marines but also infused with Chaos power and often veterans of 10k years of war in a literal hellscape, and I'm tired of them being portrayed as weaker. Anyway, the bigger issue is:
- They aren't even featured in the multiplayer PvP mode? It's just Black Legion, Death Guard, World Eaters, and Iron Warriors again?
2024.05.24 00:17 gryf_08 Is being called a F** by a gay man offensive?
Hi everyone, for context I am 28M and have very recently come to terms with my sexuality and attraction to men. I have very limited sexual experience due to a number of reasons, but am working on them. I identify as bi, but I’m still figuring it out as I think I have a preference for guys.
Anyway I have been on some dating apps and have really clicked with a few guys and plan to meet some of them this weekend. I am nervous as this will be my first opportunity to have a sexual experience with a guy. But anyway one guy I made plans to meet up with has been aggressively flirting with me and I told him I’m new at this, and he said he’d take it easy on me. I posted an Insta story chilling by the pool yesterday with a Taylor Swift song in the background and he messaged me “I thought you were newly gay”, I replied “I never said I wasn’t a Swiftie.” His response to that was a 3 letter f word, and I immediately took offense because (1) I have past trauma from bullying I am just starting to work through with my therapist, (2) I am just starting to come out, and he knew that, and (3) that word has always been offensive to me, especially when I was closeted (tho I still am except for a few close friends).
He tried to play it off as the community has reclaimed the word, and he was being satirical. And I can see that, but to me it just came off aggressive and offensive. What are other people’s thoughts? Did I overreact? Is what he said about gays calling each other that word acceptable? Or is it something that the community is divided on? I am genuinely curious, especially since I am new to the community.
Thanks!

2024.05.24 00:16 NewOCLibraryReddit Guys, the reason why most western women behave the way they do is simply a symptom of a bigger issue. (We got ourselves into this mess)
What we thought was The problem: women not striving to start a family and raise kids.
Women are critical to any success to any man, any society, any State. Women have the ability to relax men, care for men, cook for men, and most importantly, bear children and raise the next generation in a warm, peaceful home.When a society does not have most of the women striving to perform the aforementioned duties, then the society will surely fall apart. What is a man without a woman? What is society without women who want to commit their lives to marry one man, and raise his kids?
On the other end of the spectrum, we have men, who deal in logic, science, and creativity. What shall those men do when the women do not strive to become mothers, wives, or anything worthwhile for them?
The statistics are speaking volumes. Less western women are marrying. More women jumping from man to man (which is a-okay). Less women having kids. Less kids growing up in 2 parent homes. Society is going downhill, with no brakes in sight.
Undoubtedly, men still want to have kids and have wives. At the same time, many men are giving up hope on wives. And the men that are putting in work, the best they are getting are the women who bring little to nothing to the table, the aforementioned women who jump from man to man.
While those women are fun for a night or two, they inevitably end up souring the relationship one way or another. Regardless of the Chad, women have option to leave one Chad for another at the drop of a dime. And when a women is not striving to be a wife, it is in her best interest to leave when she gets bored, or when a man, she perceives as being better than her current one, comes along. She has no obligation to stay with one man, and the other man may be richer, more handsome, younger, older, etc. than her current fling.
Also, it would be in the Chad's best interest to cheat on the women who is not striving to be a wife as well. Why would he stay committed to a woman who isn't striving to be his wife? He should go out and fuck as many of these girls as possible.
The Root problem is the monopolization of the US currency
I won't go into a history lesson here. Suffice to say that the federal reserve act of 1913, ultimately, took power away from the farmers, the miners, the construction workers, and gave power to the bankers. The Act of 1913 flipped the West upside down. When the power was with the farmers, construction workers, etc. the women were encouraged to find a man to help, as most women don't want to work outside on farms, digging ditches, going underground, building railroads, etc. Which is why most women were striving to be with one man instead of going from man to man.As you can clearly see the marriage RATE decreased drastically from 1912 to 2018. From just under half- 10.5 - 6.5.
How are bankers making women not want to marry? It not individual bankers, it is the system (The federal reserve system) that causes this. Instead of people in our society working to improve the roads, transportation, etc., society is working for the system. The system cares not about society, the system doesn't care about farmers, construction workers, or miners. The cares only about one thing. That thing the system cares about is itself, and the control it aims to keep.
The system took away the industrial revolution and replaced it with the loaning revolution. Which means farmers are no longer prioritized in the traditional sense. Being that the system can loan infinite money (print money/steal money), the system will loan money to the most profitable entities it can find. And by profitable, I mean profitable for the system, not the entity.
The system can now control the farming industry, the housing industry, the automobile industry, the health industries, etc. by simply loaning them money that isn't backed by anything. The system enables poor farming practices, poor food quality, which increases the need for more health care, which requires more administrative work, and requires customer service. All of those fields are female dominated.
Now, instead of a women striving to marry and work for the household at home, she can opt to work for a man at work, and get her own money. She can choose to have her own car, her own house, etc. without ever marrying or needing a man.
I expect the women to see this as a good thing. However, that idea is very shortsighted. Besides the fact that women are getting obese due to the unhealthy foods they are consuming, they are, indeed, requiring health care services themselves. No longer is the health care just for the new moms and the elderly, children and middle aged women are needing medical assistance constantly as well.
Now, you have women who are working in the medical field, who are spending their earnings on health care and insurance, add the debt of college, mortgage payment, and car notes, no time to enjoy her "independence", rather, she is just another slave to the system. She is a dead end. She has no purpose but to serve the system.
And more importantly, women didn't vote for this, as the federal reserve act was passed before women could vote. So, this is not their fault. This is our fault and we need to fix it before it gets out of control.
Women didn't cause us to get here, and we can't expect them to help save us from the system. That is up to us.

2024.05.24 00:14 Dolphinflavored Chronicle and summary of Keith Gill AKA DFV’s memes: Spicy Memelord, or Master Storyteller? Part 2
Intro
What’s up apes. In this post, I’m gonna write out a loooong wall of text to give my interpretation of DFV's memes. In my writing, I will defend my interpretation using examples and references to the memes themselves. I am not the end-all be-all for how to interpret DFV's memes. So please, tear me apart. As I watched the videos, however, I saw a crystal clear story emerge that I haven't seen in other posts as of yet.I believe that his entire series of memes, and each meme on its own, could be viewed in 2 ways: things that have already happened, or things that have yet to happen. The meaning changes drastically depending on how you view it. Based on feedback from my last post, I've adjusted my view, and I no longer believe that his tweets are in perfect chronological order when viewed in reverse. I do still believe that some, but not all, his posts follow a chronological order, though.
Also, I use acronyms: KG stands for Keith Gill, DFV stands for DeepFuckingValue, and RK stands for Roaring Kitty. There is a slight difference between them!
Very much noteworthy: there are clear segments of this story - ACTS if you will. This is how I will separate my posts. I aim to make 4 posts
PROLOGUE ACT 1 ACT 2 ACT 3
ACT I
Post HearingElaine Dancing
The music here is “One Dance”. This to me shows that after the hearing, Keith Gill gained immense attention - not all of it was good. His “one dance” in the spotlight elicited some wry looks from the audience. This could also be a reference to the old adage: "Don't Dance." (from The Big Short)
Aladdin
I am led to believe that K.G. is Aladdin in this meme. He is chased down by an oppressive force (whoever or whatever it is that is putting pressure on him to keep quiet). “Rip him open, take it back guys” begins the video. Perhaps K.G. received violent threats from viewers of the hearing, or threats from other financial entities that lost money during the sneeze. This meme shows almost word for word Keith’s new attitude moving forward: “gotta take the hint gotta face the facts”. Aladdin is viewed as a “vandal”, a “street rat” by the city - K.G. is viewed similarly by people who view him as a financial terrorist. He needs to “stay ahead” of the slowpokes, they’re quick, but he’s much faster. All of this alludes to a strategy to “lay low”.
Say something!
Reiterating the previous meme: The man specifically says “I prefer really not to speak. If I speak I am in big trouble. And I don’t want to be in big trouble.” Can't get much more direct than this.
It's Always Sunny
The meme opens with “Let’s talk about…” which gets cut off by Danny Devito saying “I ain’t talkin about nothin’.” This, and each of the cast of the show’s behaviors, simply reinforces DFV’s lay low strategy - radio silence is his plan. This meme may also have a second meaning - DFV’s radio silence might be taxing on him. It would be safe to assume that if he got a lot of heat from the hearing (for instance, death threats) that he might want to confide in a therapist. This meme might be depicting how this whole situation with the hearing was difficult for him to bear. The drawing that Dennis shows the therapist has GameStop logos imposed on it - I interpret this as Keith Gill feeling a bit insane trying to recount this saga to a therapist, or even just anyone he might confide in. How often are all of someone’s life problems caused by a "dying brick and mortar company"??
Newman from Seinfeld
Newman is Roaring Kitty in this meme, as evidenced by the text imposed over the dialogue. Here he is hanging with his neighbors and friends, when his friends ask about what he does for a living. George asks him something, but the text says this: “aren’t those the guys that always go crazy and come back with an arsenal of memes and blast everybody?” to which Newman replies “sometimes.”
To me this meme is showing how K.G. behaves around friends. He must’ve gained heaps of unwanted attention from that hearing - when having conversations about his casual life, the question of what he does for work must come up. This inevitably leads to discussion about GameStop. This of course leads to skepticism from his friends. Eventually, when Newman (Kitty) gets carried away talking about the Postal Service (GameStop) his friends need to tell him to calm down. Reinforcing the idea that he thinks he must sound crazy to those around him. Of course, there isn't anyone decent who believes he's crazy. He's an intelligent investor.
This is art?
Get it? Perhaps the painting represents K.G.’s madness for GameStop - and when he shows it to someone it appears like an abstract art piece, rather than a sound investment. His friend feigns understanding and appreciation to appease him. Of course, I could be wrong. The painting probably has some significance - it looks as though the red background was added on.
SNL Whatcha Say
I don't know enough to speak on this one. I assume it might be detailing a falling out with his friends, where each one backstabs the other? A more likely story is that it's SHF's passing the bags on to each other.
Sad Wojak
This is self explanatory, but in the context of the story, I interpret this as Roaring Kitty putting on a brave face even though he is really struggling to deal with his reputation, personal life, and line of work.
I’mma stick beside ‘em
This shows a video of a woman saying she’ll stick beside Roaring Kitty. Even though he might look like a run-down, down-and-out man, she’ll stick it out with him. This must be Keith Gill’s wife sticking with him despite the negative attention K.G. is getting. Thank god.
The Villain
This shows a man pulling out his phone to read some text in a newspaper or article-type publication that reads: “Roaring Kitty is the villain”. This emphasizes some of the public’s negative view of Roaring Kitty.
Tell Them What Happened!
This video shows a heated argument between Keith Gill and perhaps his wife (or his previous followers). It appears that the woman is trying to appeal to his sense of reason: to come clean and be true. The man’s words seem to cut deep here “If we run, I gotta live like this - I don’t even know who I’m hiding from.” This seems to be Keith Gill saying he is still laying low - he can’t risk speaking or else he’ll be in trouble. He then says “I gotta stay here, I gotta figure this out.” This indicates to me that he has a desire to get to the bottom of GameStop’s shorts strategy, despite the resistance he is facing. He receives an encouraging “so figure it out.”
And so begins a long car chase. During this chase, it seems that through cunning maneuvers, he is able to shake his pursuer, and make it into a garage labeled “exit strategy”.
He pulls in and parks.
The next sequence shows someone getting out of a car in a parking garage and assuming an incognito demeanor (hat tipped down, steady slow gait). The steady, driving beat emphasizes this. In the context of the story so far: Roaring Kitty has shaken his pursuers and he has found out the exit strategy of those who are short on GameStop. He is on the “inside”, behind enemy lines.
Jay Clayton: (hit the limit for links on my post)
This one was created on the fly, I believe. Not much to interpret - RK's saying that it's not his doing that GME's up
What's on the notepad?
His next tweet in line: In the context of the story, considering the previous tweets, this rugged bearded man seems misfit in this lavish, corporate environment. It seems like Roaring Kitty is the bearded man, and he has quote unquote “infiltrated” the enemy. He sees the man in the suit write something down - perhaps it is the short’s exit plan? What he came there to find? The notepad reads “Cohen”. I believe this refers to “Steve Cohen”, not Ryan Cohen. Because the previous tweet we saw RK infiltrating the exit strategy. Here he is now in their office. But… when he finds out what he wrote on the notepad, it turns out to be a crude doodle of a dude with his dick out (there’s probably a name for that drawing). Could this mean that Roaring Kitty found the shorts Exit Strategy, and after all, it’s barely thought out, hastily made, crude and poorly conceived? Of course, it could also be interpreted as anything else.
Don’t Fear the Reaper (SNL Skit)
I believe this meme is K.G. realizing that GameStop doesn’t need to fear the reaper because the shorts exit strategy is full of holes. It’s so full of holes that he’s celebrating by adding lots and lots of cowbell. The reaper comes back later in his tweets as well.
Going through bullshit (Everything Everywhere All At Once)
Ethos. This meme is establishing K.G. as a credible source. He is claiming that his practices are sound because he has the qualifications to back them up. He also sees something significant where others might just see forms and numbers.
Blood Bloody Bloody
To me, the change in tone from his previous memes makes me believe this is depicting those hedge funds who are short in GME. It shows how brave (or foolish) the shorts are to take hits, and maybe die (metaphorically), just to spite other short hedge funds. The car in this video drives straight into a lumber carrying truck, which turns at the last second to avoid a head on collision. Alas, the car and its inhabitants survive, to spite the car it passed as a result. The song is also significant: bloody usually means a “red day” in the markets, meaning dips in the prices of securities. This further alludes to the idea that shorts will do whatever it takes, even risk capitulating, just to spite, or get ahead of other hedge funds.
On the Bojack Horseman snippet: This represents the shorts having a clearly marked “EXIT” stare at them in the face. But they dont want to take the exit, they don’t want to drive out of the way of the lumber truck. They’re “not done”. Perhaps this is referring to a real situation that happened, rather than a hypothetical one? Which one I wonder.
What is Rock Really About?
To me, this video is explaining what the purpose of this saga really is. Sticking it to the man. Looking out for the little guy. It also ends with “you gotta break the rules!” Hmm. The next tweet ties into this.
Music Video
Take your hands off the wheel, the cops are comin, listenin to the music with no fear, you can hear it too if you’re sincere. ‘Cause I’m a punk rocker, yes I am. This directly correlates with his “previous” tweet about rock. In conjunction with the School of Rock tweet, could this mean that if we want to stick it to the man, that we have be fearless, and break the rules? Still unclear what he would be referring to though.
Can’t Stop what’s Comin’
Simply put, the SHF’s are powerless to stop their short positions from closing.
Wrestling
This video shows a wrestler going into a ring overflowing with fighters, only to beat them all with ease one after another. Perhaps this is alluding to a sole, powerful idea or investor, who is able to go into a cesspool of baddies and clean it up? Seems like Ryan Cohen is a fitting figure for this metaphor and how he cleaned up GameStop and turned it around.
Sicario
The character closes the door on a doubleyou ess bee character. Perhaps this indicates shutting the door on gambling. I interpret this as Ryan Cohen trying to distance GameStop from being a meme stock? I don't know enough about the media in question that's being used here, I'm sure it would add more context.
Busta Rhyme
To me, this rap is from the perspective of R.K., asking Ryan Cohen to put his hands where he can see them. I believe R.K. is very taken by R.C.’s GameStop strategy but wants to see it unfold first. For example, “if you really wanna party with me” meaning “if you really wanna make this company profitable, lets see how you do it.”
Only a matter of time
The song is titled only a matter of time. To me this meme indicates a long waiting period - Roaring Kitty is sat at his desk making memes, perhaps waiting for something to happen. This could be signaling impatience, or maybe disappointment even, in the lack of action in terms of GME.
Another Work Question:
Similar to the Newman meme, here R.K. is at a fancy party when he is asked what he does. He says he makes GameStop memes, which, taken with the context of the original clip, is kind of a throwaway answer, and something that the speaker doesn’t seem too proud of. His partner (wife?) chimes in saying “Keith could be a really great investor if he wanted to be”. He then makes a comparison between buildings being “disposable” and greeting cards being “something that lasts forever”. It’s clear that even the actor in the clip doesn’t believe what he is saying. We can infer that meaning to what R.K. is saying through the text here as well. To me this means: albeit regrettably, making memes is the more effective route for Roaring Kitty right now, because investment theses have fallen short when put up against the Hedge Funds who don’t play fair.
This concludes Part 2. I already have the rest of my interpretation written, I'm just keeping things digestible for apes to read.
TL;DR:
This next batch of tweets seems to be detailing how he felt after the court hearing. Although, it is obviously open to interpretation. The next "act", as I'm proposing, will detail his new strategy and demeanor leading up to the past couple weeks.Like I said, I am not an oracle - I don't know exactly what DFV is thinking. But I wrote this out because I was seeing something that no one else appeared to be seeing. I very well may be an ape who had too many crayons for dinner. Anyway, thanks for reading. Let's chat in the comments!
2024.05.24 00:14 Alternative_Echo2246 Looking for a midranger.
Hello, I'm currently using a Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G and even though I really like the Xiaomi phones (I know people complain about the Miui but I personally don't see anything bad) I want to get a more broad vision on other phone brands so I'm looking for a good midranger. I'll be mainly using it for listening to music, watching videos and movies, a little gaming and the camera. Since my current phone has 128GB of space it's not enough!! So the phone has to have minimum 256GB of space. I guess based on my needs the best option would be an all-rounder. Here's some models that I've looked at and seem good: Nothing Phone 2 (Or 2a I don't know if there's that much of a different besides price) Samsung Galaxy A55 OnePlus Nord 3
