2024.04.29 07:17 Greedy_Occasion_2130 Don’t want her to think I’m a serial dater

My new girlfriend and I just agreed to be exclusive. Our values align, we have tons in common, and we both want the same long term goals. We want to move slow and have a healthy, no drama relationship where we work through problems and communicate. It feels amazing to get off to such a good start and honestly I can see some real long term potential with her.
We did have a discussion about our past relationships. I was honest with her that we both met after me being recently single. My last relationship was healthy but we weren’t compatible, and we were both disconnecting for months leading up to the breakup. I moved on very quickly after that relationship and truthfully carry no baggage or grief from it. It didn’t seem to bother her that we started dating so fast after that breakup and she said as such, but it dawned on me later that she might think I’m a serial dater which I am definitely not. Prior to my past relationship I was single for two and a half years, and before that I was single for a year and a half.
Should I leave it alone unless she brings it up, or would it be wise to bring it up again to clear the air?

2024.04.29 07:12 sgaisnsvdis Not being able to say no to family

Random vent about family.
I'm currently a 26 year old male and my family and I are Indian Muslims. Indian Muslims have a tradition of getting married quickly and traditionally going for the arranged marriages. My parents are somewhat progressive and are willing to let my siblings and I find out own partners. One sibling got married and moved out 2 years ago. One just got engaged and moved out 2 months ago. And soon it will be my turn.
The thing is both of my parents have severe health problems that require somewhat regular attention. Like 3-4 check ins a day to make sure they are still alive. With both of my siblings out of the house it is all on me. Between managing a full time job and dealing with my parents health problems I can not find anyone. I have been looking for 1.5 years at this point and through the dating apps I have gotten close to 200 matches that went well and about 20 dates that came out of those matches. All of those conversations went poorly when I was asked about my life after marriage. The truth is someone needs to care for my parents and at the moment that is me. With my siblings now living in different states and my parents not wanting to live with them because they don't really have permanent housing while they both still live in apartments.
I tried talking to my siblings and parents about this and telling them that this situation sucks for me and at this rate I don't think I will actually find someone who is willing to move in with their inlaws (I have a decent job and just put a down payment on my first house). My siblings responses were yeah a girl shouldn't be forced to live with her in-laws it would be hella weird in the initial stages of a marriage. And I agree I don't want to force that on someone which is why all those dates ended amicably, but I don't think I'll find someone who is willing to move in with inlaws like that.
The only other option is my parents setting me up for an arranged marriage with someone on the other side of the world (which I don't want). And I can't say no to my family about taking care of my parents or forcing them to stay with my siblings when my siblings don't want that and neither do my parents. Feels like I'm in between a rock and a hard place and there's no way out. Between my dad's retirement and my salary I can't really afford my current mortgage and sending them to a home or some elderly care facility. I don't really see an option that has everybody win. My siblings get to live their lives my parents get the care they need and I am slowly starting to resent my own family. And that makes me feel sick because I love my family and want my parents to be happy as well as my siblings and hopefully my future partner, but in reality there is almost no way I can find someone who is willing to move in with my parents.
I should also clarify my wife will not be responsible for caring for and checking in on my parents. They are my parents and should be my responsibility, that is not something I would pawn off on my wife. But still I can understand why most people wouldn't want that going in to a relationship, but there's nothing I can really do.
If anyone happens to read this and has a suggestion lmk.

2024.04.29 07:04 madPolarPride Can I be recognized as a "friend of a lodge" or of masonry in general without becoming a member, or if I would not otherwise be allowed to join?

Hi, I am not a mason however I have studied a lot of philosophy, symbolism, and traveled a bit over the world and overall I think the mission of the Masons, and groups like it, are valuable and good. Brotherhood and making men better men, as I understand it from my perspective.
Additionally my Father has a large steel square hanging in the garage, that was passed down from my grandfather and which he uses in household projects even into his 80s. I respect that he has his own craft, though he is not a Mason or a part of any group AFAIK, though he was "Military Intelligence" and in his own good humor proud of the oxymoronic nature of that term. I admire him, yet he has made no comment when I have dropped hints about being interested in masonry.
Here is the main thing. I have a diagnosed mental illness (don't worry I have gotten over my belief in conspiracy theories though I used to think I was a secret agent or something, probably from a childhood being a military brat), and the one person who I know personally in masonry, who I consider a friend, probably would black ball me if I petitioned to join his lodge since years ago I was in a bad, unmedicated place and displayed a lot of crazy. I recognize my neural non-typicality as essential to who I am, though maybe not so much who I want to become.
So that's strike one against me, I may technically be described as a dotard or not in sound mind. I'm not sure if being medicated and stable for years would be allowed?
Second thing, and I've given this a lot of thought, I'm not 100% sure I believe in "Deity" or "Higher Power" in the way that Masonry requires. I admire Christianity, I grew up "secular-Christian" in the west and understand and endorse it's meaning and morals in broad terms even if I don't believe and practice chapter and verse. But I am very much not a Christian at heart. My ex wife and children are nominally Muslim, so I am sensitive to that. If anything I consider myself a follower of the Tao, and if you think about it (and I have) the Tao might be the absence of an Architect. But also, any words describing the Tao cannot be taken at face value. There are interesting mysteries there I'd like to explore.
I am certainly not an Atheist, but maybe agnostic or deist. That said, I do at times feel a sort of personal relationship with "The Universe" (what Zen calls Buddha Nature and what I think is analogous to what some call "Christ Consciousness"). And So I think I could in good faith claim that as my higher power.
So that's the second strike, I'm not sure I could find a lodge that would allow me to swear on a Tao te Ching or some sort of Zen scripture. Maybe a Constitution since I do firmly believe that is an inspired document?
Even still, I have been glad to follow freemasonry digitally, but it makes me think I need to affiliate in some way in person since... well, as I would say, letters and words are symbols that only point to the truth, or as Lau Tzu would say the Tao that can be written is not the eternal Tao. And as Buddha might say, one of the important aspects of life is being part of a community that understands with its mind as well as PRACTICES the Dharma with its hands.
Given that background, what would you recommend?
I hope you don't mind an outsider like myself asking questions and initiating dialog of this nature here. Please let me know if anything I disclosed is inappropriate for this setting and I'll be happy to rectify in any manner that is needed.

2024.04.29 07:04 A_S1mpleBe1ng The JSDF and worldbuilding

So my main issue currently with MHA currently is MHA currently is the near complete lack of worldbuilding outside of Japan. I understand that the story is focused around japan and heros vs villans, but I feel that so much is simply left out, and if I ever get off my ass and write this story, I hope to remedy this. What I am looking for is essentially general advice and, and helping patch any story ending plot holes/inaccuracies that I may not see myself. One of the ways I want to achieve the worldbuilding aspect is the usr of "excerpts" from vairous history groups on the worlds responce to quirks. One of the main things im hoping to do is make a fic that focuses more on the global stage, and to do that I am going to use the JSDF, I understand that this intro is lacklustre, but bear with me. Just to make it clear, the "MC" in the story is not going to be Izuku, bit rather the JSDF, he will be involved, and maybe a POV or 2, but not as a major part of the writing. Main characters/organisations: The JSDF: Primarily quirkless (due to a agreement signed by the world's militaries to not weaponise quirks, will need further development). They are looked down upon by the government due to this and are largely ignored. Their main goals are to figure out the nomu bioweapons and apprehend the makers, they will eventually learn about how the Govt has stayed in power and kept the nation in an illegitimate state of emergency for the past however-many years since quirks appeared. Will eventually stage a coup, a civil war might be fun too, but im not at that point yet. Another thing the JSDF is going to have as part of the GUMI is quirk erasing bullets (suck it overhaul). The HSPC: Determined to keep the status quo, mostly the same as in cannon, I will have to do some more research on them later, of all the groups I know the least about them, they will essentially be government pawns. The Government: COMPLETELY corrupt. Determined to keep their hold on power by any means necessary. Maintain the state of emergency covertly, sent "villans" to jail unlawfully, ETC. they will eventually be the main villans, but that comes much much later The Rat and his supporters: probably the faction I have the least Idea to do with, and what their stances would be, some suggestions would be great for these guys. The GUMI-Global United Military Initiative: (name pending, this idea came to me while writing this lol) A organisation of the worlds militaries, made during the period of unrest after quirks emerged. It is a partial secret, being presented as something else (exact cover story needed), but is in truth a military alliance designed to step in when heros cannot save the day. They have never had to take direct action, but have neurmous covert operations going on, keeping tabs on various major villain organisations. the only reason the initiate was able to work was that governments had to focus inwards, and many ideological tensions dissipated, ideology is still an issue, but major villans are viewed as the main worldwide threats now, not other countries. This change was obviously a slow process. The villans: mostly the same, will adjust for the new storylines and situatuations, AFO will be AFO, the yakuza will yakuza ETC, might do something fun with the MLA, but I am not at that point yet Setting the scene: The 2 primary in story divergence points are going to be both the USJ and Hosu incidents, after that I want to take the story off the rails a little. USJ: the USJ will go mainly the same, but the military will slowly begin to apply pressure after they find out that the nomu was a bioweapon. All other parties dismiss this as irrelevant Hosu incident: Incident proceeds as normal, the effects are a more alert JSDF, and the acquisition of one of the nomu for study, significantly increased JSDF oversight of the home islands. From here I do not have mcuh other than bits and peices fleshed out, there will most deffinintly be some type of amphibious landing operation. Locations: I want to keep locations real, (if possible in any way), I have a general location for what island the JSDF will be based out of (one of the ones on the chain south of tokyo). Tartarus: I am unsure where the prison will be situated, but it will have no bridge, only accessable by sea or air. I am unsure if the prison is under government or JSDF control. I am happy to answer any questions, thank you for reading these bricks!

2024.04.29 06:58 fadedstrings why do i encourage friends to open up to me if they want to, but i dont let myself do the same when they offer??

when my friends have something wrong happening or theyre upset, i actively encourage them to tell me or vent to me or anything that helps them get through it. i want to do everything i can to help them, but when it comes to me?? the last thing ill do is tell them the truth on how i really feel—because then i feel like a burden, and i feel like im a terrible person, but when they tell me how they really feel, i dont see them in that way? i only have these thoughts towards myself, and i dont know what to do because ive started building resentment that i “cant" tell them how i really feel when i absolutely could, i just choose not to— or feel like i literally cant. ive felt like this for years and im scared that ill just keep getting worse at this rate. idk why im such a hypocrite?

2024.04.29 06:57 silveryfeather208 You guys ever felt like there's no way people believe this and are lying to you?

sometimes when discussing religion people will come up with the most insane logic. dear friends and family. And I can't help but think they probably believed as children and then grew up and realized their error but were too ashamed and so fake believing. They probably had a childish mentality and were afraid their peers would shame them. And everyone is thinking it.
I know this sounds like a conspiracy and I don't truly believe it, but there are times this thought creeps in. for the most part its most likely not true and there are many that genuinely believe. but I also think that peoples reaction probably really is to double down and defend their beliefs to not look stupid.
Like as much as I didn't really like atheist experience with matt dilihunty, when he backs people into a corner first they will lie but eventually they will say yeah I believe calling death for gays isn't right or something but they couldn't in the beginning otherwise that shows their ego is bad
For context I have never ever believed. That's why belief in deities and things based on "feelings" is so, so hard for me to understand .
And maybe its just my family but I've heard many ex theists, be they ex Muslim or ex christian say the same. They say even other things their parents lie a lot. Or have convenient excuses.
As a kid there was this magical Buddhist/ancestral pagan thing we do in China that you can ask questions. But conveniently you couldn't ask the same question twice so you can't verify it. or my parents would find out perfectly normal things that could be found out through (asking my teachers for example) but they somehow found out through "the Buddhist spirit told me". I'm wondering if anyone else felt the Muslim/christian etc equivalent.
Just the constant suspicion of lies. But not being able to verify the hunch is the worse part of it all

2024.04.29 06:57 No-Award9269 Pregnant BCBA Request?

Hey there! I would love to get the community’s opinion on my current situation. I have been in the field of ABA since 2017; first 2 years as a BT, next 5 years as a BCBA. I recently took on a clinical director position and have been in this role for about 2.5 years now. I have been enjoying this role and how it has challenged me and also getting to do more with the management/billing/operational side of a company. The work culture is amazing and I look forward to seeing my colleagues every day. I am newly pregnant (first tri) and it’s safe to say that I have been struggling managing my duties as a CD and also just symptoms of being pregnant (consistently being tired, nausea, etc.) My role is really more consistent with a COO in my opinion, as I am responsible for literally all the day to day operations of two clinics (I split my week between two locations): hiring, client outreach, performance evaluations, crisis prevention training, payroll, answering the phone, staff breaks and lunches, staff management (~30 total staff), client management (~40 total clients), quality assurance measures, and much more. This ultimately looks like 41+ in person working hours a week (not including the work I do at home after my in person schedule which is typically M-F 9am-6pm.) I report directly to our owners who really primarily approve/sign off on my work and also do some back end business management. I requested to them that I be able to work remotely for 1 day out of the week to allow myself to catch up on non client/BT facing work, but to also help give my body rest now that I’m pregnant. I am also truthfully thinking more long-term now as I do have a baby in the way and if I can sustain the responsibilities of this role and if it’s worth it (currently at $100k in Oregon.) My employer has been hesitant to grant this request as they fear that my absence from either clinic may leave them liable to certain allegations (I.e. we have very few clients in our clinic in the evening, and we currently have a two provider policy in place) however, we currently rolled out a system that incorporates having our supervisors on duty throughout the week, and we also have cameras throughout each clinic/work room that have recording features which I feel helps mitigate that. Additionally, I am pretty much constantly available via phone, so I would be available to support as needed and could travel to the clinic at a moments notice.
A few questions for you all:
Thanks!

2024.04.29 06:56 FaallenOon Unsure how to proceed/wrote myself into a corner

SMALL SPOILERS FOR DESCENT INTO AVERNUS
This is a long story, but I'll try to summarize:
During Descent into Avernus, when they faced Tiamat to obtain her blood, an option was given to them (I just wanted to be dramatic, I didn't think they'd take it): they could either facer her champion in combat, or perform a service in her behalf. They opted, to my surprise, for the service, so I invented one on the spot: once they returned to their plane, they had six months to locate a temple of bahamut called the Temple of the Seven Thunders, and beat up its champion, or their souls would be forfeit.
Twelve sessions later, they have travelled half across the world to Kozakura, where the temple is located and, after many, MANY adventures, they reached the temple with about a month to spare. In my world, Kozakura is overrun by servants of Vecna (I want to run Eve of Ruin) and in a civil war. Also, the great serpent Orochi (a Tiamat avatar) was sealed here, with its vigilance in charge of the temple.
They reached the temple, spoke to the monks, and decided to be completely honest, revealing their connection to Tiamat and how they came to be in this predicament, which puts me in a real pickle: I've already established that, being a pact freely sworn, and with a deity no less, it can't be undone even by a Wish spell. The monks know that if the PCs fight their champion, they'd be somehow playing into Tiamat's hands...
But, at the same time, from a meta-game perspective, the players have been reasonable, they haven't done anything stupid, and deserve to get out of this without losing their soul.
So, given that the monks know the truth, do you have any suggestions on what conditions they might present before allowing the duel to take place? Or what could the PCs do to persuade them?
It should be noted that the party consists of 4 PCs of 11th level, so they're quite powerful, but they can't take the whole monastery on by themselves.
Thank you very much for your help. If you need any more information, please let me know!

2024.04.29 06:54 Wise-Finding-5999 TROUSDALE & NORTHWEST PRISONS IN TENNESSEE #pst

I have used this title, or a form of it several times, for the specific reason of getting the title in the Search Engines and having this found. For you who know my Community, you are aware of these two camps. I am not trying to repeat myself. I just feel that it is important, to have what we are saying about these camps, seen by others. If you check out my Reddit Community: Prison_Stories_TN you will find more stories and info on these two Prisons. Those of us who have been there know the business. I was at Northwest, and I flattened my time there. I knew a guys coming from Trousdale. And, a lot who were sent there, from Northwest. I use this title and write on these 2 Prisons, in order for others to see the title, and leave their stories. If you were there, then you know. And, the Public and everyone needs to know. It is a war zone and people have no idea how deadly these prisons are. Stabbings, overdoses, and deaths occurred on a regular basis. They write all the deaths off as natural causes, and we all know the truth. Anything that is metal, it’s being cut up, and made into butcher knives. I have wrote on this several times, and I will keep writing on it, so that others can find my Community, and share their stories. I am not trying to get anyone into trouble, because everyone who is locked up, they are just trying to survive, and do their time. The easiest, and best way they can. But, families and those going into Tennessee Prisons, need to be fully aware of these two camps. Both camps are wide open. You better have your big boy pants on, and carry yourself like a man. You slip, then you will pay. There is no getting into debt and checking in. Momma can’t save you at these camps. The key to surviving these 2 camps and any prison is: * Keep your word * Mind your own business * Don’t snitch *Pay Your Bills ( Stay out of debt) also, goes with, keeping your word. * Don’t mess with the Boys. (Yall know what that mean.) You hold true to those rules, and you have a shot. Trouble is, meth cause the mental ill people to freak out, and their is a lot of both of those in those camps. You wouldn’t believe some of the stories I have about that. Schizophrenia and meth do not mix. Ask anyone who has been at these camps, and they will have some great stories. I have wrote about this in some of my other post, and I will continue to share more. I have been busy with work and this past Football season kept me real busy. But, I am back, and I will be sharing more, now. If you have left comment, and I have not responded. I will be catching up on those now. If you have a YouTube channel, or you have another Social Media account that you are sharing stories on, please let me know, and I will support you. If you have been at one of these camps, leave your story. Start another Post, or comment here. Let’s inform others, about what we saw. Movies cannot come close to the real deal. Again, I am not saying that to make anyone’s time harder. I am trying to help others. If you came through Northwest from 2017-2022, then you know me. DOC
I will be adding some new stories and more information now. I was making some progress when I had to stop a few months back. I had some work to finish. Which, I am very thankful to have work. I work from home and I am thankful for that, too. I develop websites and host those sites and provide email servers for my clients. Along with their DNS server. Which, is run on two of my DNS servers. I have two of each, for each client. That way, they always have a backup, in case one goes down. Not trying to bore you with that info. Just wanted you to know that I do work, and it is legal work. Usually, this work gives me time to maintain my social media outlets, and I thought I was keeping up with my Reddit Communites, until I noticed a lot of messages and comments, that I had not answered. I try to answer any message or comment, as fast as I can. Now, I believe I have my notifications set properly, and I will not miss any more. So, feel free to message me anytime. And again, if you have been to any Prison, please share your stories. Let help others, and help each other.

2024.04.29 06:53 shabbyabby27 Don’t even see the point anymore

24(F). I’ve struggled with self harm since I was 12. I hadn’t cut in about 6-7 years, till tonight. The funny thing is, I’m married, have a nice job. You wouldn’t think I would do it, but my marriage is struggling. I’m struggling. I know I have some sort of anxiety and depression along with OCD. I was diagnosed in my late teens, but I fear it’s all just gotten worse with time.
I don’t have a family. I was disowned at 19. I’m.. emotionally inept to say the least, while my wife is quite the opposite. She cries over almost everything, and she’s extremely emotional. I know she can’t handle my feelings, or whenever I’m feeling anxious. So I keep it in and try to find outlets. I game, a lot. I work out. Unfortunately, tonight it all came to a head.
I tried to talk to my wife about how I was feeling overwhelmed, blah blah… We’ve argued all weekend, about me and my lack of emotions, so I was hoping it would help. It did, until she made a comment about how I didn’t care about anything she’s ever said, when that’s so far from the truth, and I’ve proven that. I completely shut down, and, of course, cue the waterworks and the lashing out from her.
I needed something… so I cut myself. Nothing crazy like I used to, but I had completely forgotten how GOOD it felt. The rush and almost euphoric feeling… it was SUCH a release.
I’m not going to give you my life story, but, in short: I don’t know how I’m still here, and I feel like I don’t deserve to be. If I’ve let myself go back down that road, genuinely, I don’t see the point. I’m tired. I’m trying to keep on, but, this is all just so annoying. Is it all supposed to be this difficult, or am I just my own worst enemy?

2024.04.29 06:53 Practical-Base-5537 Women of Reddit - Is the 20% Dating Rule True?

Hey everyone,
I've come across this idea floating around, especially in some alpha male podcasts, that women are only interested in dating around 20% of men. You know, the ones who check all the boxes - six-figure salary, six feet tall, six-pack abs, and so on. According to this theory, the rest of the male population is basically invisible to women.
But, honestly, I find it hard to believe. It seems a bit too simplistic and reductive to me. I'd like to think that attraction and compatibility are more nuanced than just a checklist of superficial traits.
So, I'm curious to hear from the women of Reddit - what's your take on this? Do you think there's any truth to the idea that only 20% of men are considered dateable? Or do you believe that attraction is more diverse and varied than that? Let's discuss!

2024.04.29 06:52 a_weird_lesbo Will this have my therapist eliminate care?

I've been seeing a therapist early in this year. I originally saw them because I was an addict with codependency issues. In the beginning, I did a complete 180 and turned my life around. I was making really good progress but as I got sober i replaced my addiction with an eating disorder that I was unaware of until I lost my period.
It's been two months since admitting I have an eating disorder and I've been trying to intuitive eat, we've done some EDMR on it, they've given me advice on staying active to maintain my weight..
I'm very, very close to relapsing. Honestly and truly I'm only "white knuckling" my ed recovery so they doesn't eliminate me as a client. I've had past experiences where therapists have dropped me unprofessionally so this is a big fear, even more so since a big life transition is coming up and I need them more than ever.
In all honesty, I don't think I want help for my eating disorder. This is just the truth. I don't know if I should tell them this because I'm afraid they'll remove me or end services.

2024.04.29 06:50 Big-Pollution4175 Teckwrap Vinyl doesn’t stand behind their products.

Teckwrap Vinyl doesn’t stand behind their products.
Chat with customer service:
3/28/24, 10:39 PM - +86 147 3970 3127: Hello Ricky, this is Alexis from Teckwrap. I hope you're doing well. I wanted to reach out to you in response to your call earlier. Could you please provide me with more information about the nature of your inquiry so that we can better assist you?
3/29/24, 7:19 AM - Ricky: Hello Alexis. I had purchased a full roll of Blue Velvet (satin chrome) a while back. I was finally able to install it this past weekend after removing my previous Vivid wrap. I'm not new to vinyl wrapping especially when it comes to my own vehicle. I've used different brands ,vivid,3m, Avery, and even a cheap Chinese no name brand🫣. This was my first time using teckerap, and for reference the vinyl was kept in original shipping box and store inside under ac temp controlled until I took out to install.(I did the install on the weekends which took about 3 weeks starting March 1st)
So I say all that to give context to the problems I'm having with the wrap. After post heating yesterday I went out to run a few errands. I live in Florida and outside temperature was about 84° my car was in direct sunlight for about 5 hours. My last stop I noticed the vinyl wrap was starting to lift up on a few edges. Once I got back home I did a walk through around vehicle and noticed basically every panel except for both sides skirts have edges lifting. I have a 2014 BMW 650i Convertible, and I'm at a loss for the reason this is happening. The places it's happening is always on a edge, but on different locations. It's not a tension issue because flat areas on door and hood where I have no stretch is the location of the lifting. My car does run a tad hot because of it's very large engine and I did notice a lot of the lifting tends to be in areas where the heat was probably higher then majority of the rest of the vehicle.
During the install process I noticed that compared to most vinyls I have used this vinyl tends to be much more grabby/ sticky in general...but during install at times I had times where I had a large lack of that adhesion that I would say a majority of the wrap displayed.
I always expect to have 1 edge or 1 corner that might lift a little and need to be reheated and sealed back down, but I have never had an issue like this. Especially with no obvious reason I can figure out. I'm hoping the adhesive promoter I ordered will fix these issues, but I was hoping you might have some advice or information that might remedy situation. I am hoping I don't have to order more vinyl to repair any of these panels that might not stay down especially if the problem say happens again. Sorry for long response and I appreciate your help with this matter. Post heating was done over 24 hours prior to my day trip of errands.
3/29/24, 7:23 AM - TECKWRAP: Thanks for sharing your feedback. Please send us some photos of the issues so we can have a better understanding of the problems you're having. 3/29/24, 7:28 AM - Ricky: Ok, I will be able to do later today if that's ok with you? 3/29/24, 8:01 AM - TECKWRAP: Surely
4/5/24, 5:00 AM - Ricky: Now I've tried reheating and post heating area again, but I feel like if my car is outside in the sun these areas will lift back up again. 4/5/24, 5:01 AM - Ricky: Please confirm that you are able to view the pictures and quality is ok with me sending them this way. Thanks
4/5/24, 11:28 PM - TECKWRAP: Thanks for the photos. We were wondering if you apply the vinyl, stretch it first, then heat it? Or do you heat the films first, let them shrink, then apply them?
4/8/24, 8:45 PM - Ricky: I generally always try to apply first stretch then and heat after. I try never to have any tension on corners, edges, and seams. I have noticed after use 3m adhesion promoter I have been able to get a few of the areas to stay somewhat down, but it's almost like there is a problem with adhesive. I also in trying to fix these lifting problems have now overheated of few areas of the vinyl which is just my frustration and my fault in that regards. 4/8/24, 8:46 PM - Ricky: I have some of the original vinyl with backing still intact...unused not sure if that would help you?
4/9/24, 3:56 AM - TECKWRAP: Please note that Teckwrap is a multi-layered calendered film, unlike 3M or Avery's cast film. The main difference between them is the memories. Memories are the characteristics of the calendered vinyl that cause it to return to its original form after being heated/stretched.
It is essential to alleviate all the tension on the edges before installation. To do this, we recommend heating the film to remove any tension on the edges. This prevents the material from shrinking back to its original form (which causes lifting) after installation. For edges and deep grooves where there may be wrinkles or tension, lift the film slightly, heat it, and then wait until the vinyl goes smooth again before laying it down and squeezing out any wrinkles.
The vinyl will naturally shrink around the edges afterward. It shrinks on its own, and its shrinking ability can work to our advantage. To help the installation process, shrink the film (add heat) on the edges before cutting. Failing to do so can cause the vinyl edges to lift.
Also, we suggest using primer on the edges to strengthen the adhesive around the corners. Furthermore, we recommend leaving more cuts to prevent the vinyl from shrinking back. This will allow you to achieve a more precise fit and ensure that your wraps remain in place for years to come.
4/9/24, 3:57 AM - TECKWRAP https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=SKkeURoMiHE&list=TLGGIeIdX733MBswOTA0MjAyNA 4/9/24, 4:00 AM - TECKWRAP Starting from the fifth minute of the video, you can see that he heats the vinyl first and then lays it.
4/10/24, 2:42 PM - Ricky: https://youtu.be/hKzegAjekfE?si=yG3jXFa8QnW4Sv9d 4/10/24, 2:43 PM - Ricky: Satin chrome....he lays it first. Then heats lays and then heat stretch. By stretch I mean pulling tight to help keep wrinkles away during laying it down.
Later Then when I get to where I can't just lay it down anymore . I would apply heat to reset film and then stretch and lay it down. The edges I would heat to get rid of tension prior to wrapping around edges.
The video for matte orange on BMW he lays almost the whole door first before heat and stretch. I watched both videos satin for how to use and matte to see how he approached the panels of the BMW.
4/12/24, 5:28 AM - Ricky: Sooo... What's next? Did you confirm the video I sent and watch his application on the doors? So now we have cleared up that I followed the tutorial video provided by your company on how to install satin chrome wrap.
How do we fix this? Even after using 3m adhesion promoter the edges and areas of problems are still lifting once they reach higher temps during daily use.
4/12/24, 5:57 AM -TECKWRAP: I understand that you have raised concerns about the glue used in your product, and I would like to provide you with a more detailed explanation. Based on the picture you provided, we cannot determine that the root cause of the issue is the glue. If there were problems with the glue, the film would not only curl at the edges but also display signs of deterioration in another area.
Furthermore, it seems that the method you used for installation was splicing rather than using a whole piece. This approach requires more post-heating and advanced thermal energy to shrink the film, which may have contributed to the issue you are facing.
Therefore, we cannot include your case in the scope of our warranty. Nevertheless, we would be happy to provide you with additional materials to replace a certain area at a discounted price.
4/12/24, 6:00 AM - Ricky: Splice? Do you mean inlays? So it’s not the glue because you don’t see signs of glue failure. My installation must be wrong even though I followed your company’s multi video installation instructions.
What is this discount for the vinyl repurchase? Is it common for teck wrap to have the back of the film to be bright white regardless of front facing color of vinyl?
4/16/24, 5:45 AM TECKWRAP: Yes, inlays. The discount will be based on the size of the item you request. 33ft: $360 49ft: $523
4/18/24, 8:21 AM - Ricky: Yeah that's a hard pass especially with me following your application video and having all these lifting problems. You want me to pay double to wrap my car again with no guarantees not to have the same problem. I could of got 3m at this price point.
I provided all the information you asked for and even showed you a video from your company providing the steps I used for install which differs from your suggested install process. So if I installed the vinyl the wrong way then your company should still be responsible because the video instruction online I followed are from your company. I've tried to be as understanding as possible, but with the time lost, and now wanting me to trust your brand to spend more money is unacceptable. No way I will commit to a brand that doesn't stand by their products or process.
Take ownership for having 2 videos that have installation instructions that are not the same. I see no effort to stand behind your product and not provided quality customer service that would be expected.
4/18/24, 8:25 AM - Ricky: Of the only 2 reviews of this product 1 of them lists having the same problems as me!
4/18/24, 11:23 PM - TECKWRAP Could you please confirm if the vinyl you bought was purchased during February 2022?
4/18/24, 11:51 PM - TECKWRAP: IMG-20240418-WA0001.jpg (file attached)
The vinyl has a storage life of 2 years when stored at temperatures between +10°С and +20°С and relative humidity of 50% in its original packaging. It is essential to check the vinyl's adhesive properties, particularly after the 2-year period, as the glue may lose its optimal stickiness over time. Therefore, it is advisable to use vinyl within its storage life or as soon as possible after purchase to ensure the best results.
4/19/24, 3:25 AM - Ricky: Yes, stored inside my house at 74° until installed. So purchased 02/17/22 and received 02/21/22. I’m confused I thought you originally stated it was my install and there were no signs of glue failure. Now the reason your not helping me with warranty is because the glue has failed because it’s past the shelf date or warranty.
4/24/24, 10:25 AM - Ricky: The film was stored in original packaging inside a house that is temp controlled at 74-76* with humidity kept below 50% by AC unit. I noticed that online it says 2 years from manufacture date, and I don’t have anything that shows me the date it was manufactured. It would have been maybe a month past the 2 years shelf life date for the instal. So if it was manufactured on ship date then that would be about a month past “shelf life”. From your message your stating it’s recommended to install as soon as possible after purchase to ensure best results. Shelf life should guarantee the product provides the best results all the way to that said date. No where on the site does it mention that the glue starts to deteriorate prior to shelf life date provided. Nor does it have any recommendations to install ASAP because of a possibility of glue failure prior to shelf life date of film passing. My intention was never to wait this long for install, but given its 1 month past shelf life you wouldn’t expect the glue to fail so much so soon after the shelf date. I’m really not trying to be difficult, but you gotta understand where I’m coming from. Your solution puts me out almost the same amount of money from original purchase plus the TIME TO REINSTALL VINYL (mind you on faith that it is now shelf life as the cause and not my install method of film), and shipping vs teckwrap manufactured costs. That’s all risk and no guarantee in my end. If that is your only solution then I will stick with my answer of declining that “offer” and will start all over with a company that stands behind their product. My car with pictures and a positive experience on your site I would imagine does more then a 2nd review mentioning glue problems on this product.
4/25/24, 5:57 AM - +TECKWRAP: We regret to inform you that the vinyl you purchased is no longer covered by the 2-year warranty period. Our records show that your order was placed on February 16, 2022, at 2:26 pm, meaning the warranty period has expired. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer any warranty or replacement services for your vinyl at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you and appreciate your understanding. If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know.

2024.04.29 06:49 GladBench4154 For putting my stepfather in jail

Okay, so let me start from the beginning. I’m F (29) and I started dating my husband M (25) back in 2018. During dating my husband his younger sister we will call her Sal started working a job with my niece at the time Sal had no clue that she was my niece so she started spreading rumors and lying about me to my niece. My sister and niece told me what Sal was saying about the same time Sal tried telling me my niece was talking bad about me behind my back. So I took it into my own hands to block both my niece and Sal. During the time Sal found out I blocked her she started telling her parents that I was bullying her, and talking bad about her. I was the one getting random messages saying that I’m obsessed and crazy over Sal, when I’m just trying to stay out of the drama I don’t like confrontation. I get so much anxiety from just receiving the text I did get from Sal’s ex boyfriend and Sal’s burner numbers because she knew she was blocked. She even made 4 IG’s just to message me rude messages and I was honestly scared of the stalking, because Sal and my husband has other siblings as well. So I was being messaged by her pretending to be her little brother on SC. I ended up blocking him even though I feel bad it’s wasn’t his fault but she wasn’t going to stop, she was even using her sisters account taking screenshots of my Snapchat stories asking my husband what I’m doing and why I’m where I’m at. I could be at a store, hospital, work, etc. As you can tell I eventually blocked the sister as well because of Sal. At the time I was living with my parents and my husband was living with me. He had went on a trip and Sal wanted his camera. I told him Sal can’t come to my parents house due to all the drama she has caused. Even though I told him to tell her that she didn’t show up once but 6 times to my house asking my parents if she can come in and get the camera as well blowing my phone up with a burner number about letting her get the camera. We had told her no several times and the last time she came by she recked her own car into my dads trailer and ran off scared he would prosecute her. I begged my dad to do it to teach her a lesson, but sadly him being really sick from cancer he didn’t want to really deal with it.
Fast forward a couple years I still have Sal blocked but, my husband started asking me to unblock Sal and try to start over. Me being stupid I did and tried to build a bond with her.. how stupid I was because when my husband went on another trip he left his iPad behind and one night I noticed his iPad blowing up with messages.. his iPad is connected to his phone and the messages was from Sal she was telling him how she doesn’t like me and that I’m trash and he needs to break up with me. So I automatically blocked her again.. seeing all those messages I just knew she wasn’t going to change, but as soon as I blocked her it took her maybe 5 mins to notice and I started seeing her blow up my husband messages saying I found out she was talking crap and asked if my number was connected to his phone. Note my husband even showed me when he got back that she made a Snapchat with all the siblings and their (boyfriends/girlfriends) together in a group, in that group Sal was telling my husband that I’m a them/they and I’m a pos girlfriend to him and that all I do is bully her and harass her. One I identify as a woman, and two anything my husband wanted if I had the money he always got whatever he wanted and was cooked for every night. I pretty much took care of him.
Couple months later my husband and I decide to get married. It was a little courthouse wedding nothing special. During that entire day we were signing papers and going through the eloping my husband’s mother and father as well both his sisters were talking crap about getting married to me. Saying to him that he’s making a big mistake and that I ruined their family “bullying” his sister Sal. He told his family he loved me and that I’ve never bullied or messaged Sal in the whole period she started her bullying and rumoring about me. Till this day his parents never believed that though.
Couple months later we moved in to my husbands grandmothers house because we had no place to go due my fathers passing. During the time I helped the grandmother and did whatever I could just to show her thanks for letting us move in. My husbands parents would come over and visit to take all they could from the grandmother because that’s what they do, neither of them work and they leech off the grandmother for funds.. they were over almost everyday trying to get money off gma. One day we had a cookout for gma’s birthday and I noticed my husbands dad started acting weird.. I was watching my husband from inside the house at the window and his dad decided to open the door and bash the door into my body several times and then walked out and put his thumb at his throat in a slicing motion towards me.. so i decided to go back into the bedroom because i was just hit multiple times by a door and yes he bashed it so hard into me I had bruises.. My husband came back into the house looking for me, I told him I didn’t want to come out because his father is being abusive.. he insisted I come back out and grill with him so I’m around him only.. so I did, well when I went outside with him his dad decided to come out too. His father decided to give me dirty death stares and then proceeded to tell me that I’m a bitch and I need to fck right on out of here. I asked him what his problem is with me because at that moment I was upset and in tears from all of it. My husband and his dad were butting heads over how he was treating me, his dad proceeded to tell me that I’m a slt and whre that I cheat on my husband whenever I get the chance. His dad also tells me that I “bullied” his daughter and made her life miserable and tried to break their family apart. He even told me that he wants to k*ll me and him and Sal will dance on my grave when I die that I’m a pos. This entire time this is going on my husband is trying to keep the peace and telling his dad that it’s not cool how he’s being. My husband’s mom and gma are now running outside telling me not to provoke the father and to come inside and shut up, literally treated me like I started all this. Note they would not let me leave the house.. my night was ruined and I stayed locked in the bedroom for the rest of the day, so the next day my husband went with his parents to their house.. I went straight to the police station and told them everything, the started setting up an arrest. So while they were getting ready to make their arrest I went back to gma’s house and started packing all my stuff up and told her I no longer wanted to live there. The GMA started begging me to stay and I refused, packed my stuff and left.
Less than 5 hours the father was arrested and my husband was livid at me, he was mad because I ran off and left the situation and demanded that we get a divorce because I put his dad in prison. I told him fine whatever. Note my husband knew how his family was but doesn’t really take up for me in much of the years I was dealing with his sisters bs and now his parents bs. Eventually through all that me and my husband worked it out and his dad plead guilty. His dad has 2 years no contact with me. Yes, I’m still married to my husband.. and I’ve made up with the gma.
Couple months later I get a job and I tell gma about it. Plus me and my husband are living alone together now in a tiny home. I start working at this job and gma calls me asking me where I’m working, so I tell her. Couple days after that Sal is being interviewed at my job. Inside I’m literally screaming.. she ends up getting the job.. I tell my manager we can’t work together, I tell him some details but not much. When Sal starts working my coworkers start coming to me asking me questions on wanting to know if it’s true on what Sal said about me. Sal was going around telling my coworkers that I use to be a boy and transgendered to a woman and that I’m secretly in love with her. I told them no and I ended up quitting because it got to be an everyday thing of something Sal rumored about and coworkers started asking me about it or talking about it.
Couple months later me and my husband goes out to eat and we come back to our house broken into.. found out it was only my stuff that was destroyed and messed with there was ripped photos of me outside with an axe thrown into them.. and my face drawn all over.. He asked his parents and his mom came clean that they broke in and played a “trick” on me. Nothing was done because my husband wouldn’t tell the police the truth to save them.. Some days later my husband gave his parents our storage unit key to grab out a couch for his brother.. his parents took the couch as well stole a lot of my stuff and destroyed everything in the storage unit.. I was livid and went to the police and they couldn’t do anything because my husband gave them a key. So I changed the locks and now my husband doesn’t have a key.. trust was broken at this point. He knew what they have already done and let them have a key to the last little bit of stuff I have stolen and gone..
Months later my husband leaves to go hang out with his parents all day, then at 2am my husband and his dad decides to roll up drunk to our house. My husband opens the door and starts talking to me and slurring words and I told him that he needs to tell his dad to leave. He goes outside and tells his dad that he needs to leave and go home. Me laying in bed already anxious that his dad is here. I hear my husband and his dad bickering and his dad saying he is not f*cking leaving and that I need to come out and have a talk with him. I sitting in my bed told him out the window I will not be coming out and that he needs to go home. I hear his dad open the truck door and start walking my heart drops and I have 911 on speed dial as he slams open the door and start rushing in the bedroom at me. My first reaction is to slap him. As I do my husband takes his dad down to the ground and his dad is screaming at me that I’m the devil and I need to be killed. While I’m screaming for him to get out of my house because I’m scared for my own life. The police show up and instead or arresting the dad.. ends up taking him home, but he had to leave his vehicle behind… my husband crying at me because I called the cops on his dad again.. told me that he rescued me and I can now believe that he cares. As much as I try to believe him, he continues to hang out and talk to his parents and sisters who have made 5 years of my life hell.
Moving on though, the next morning my husband went to go hang out with his parents and watch his brother’s ball game. I asked him to get back the stuff that his parents stole from me in the storage unit that he seen laying around in their house the night he went and got drunk with them. He instead tells me him and his parents are coming after the game to pick up the vehicle that his dad had to leave last night. I didn’t want them showing back up so I had it towed within an hour. I knew they were on their way after the game anyway so I decided to get dressed and go to work early. When my husband got there he started blowing up my phone asking where the vehicle went and that if I didn’t tell him then I deserved having my stuff stolen because it’s going to cost them money having to get the vehicle back. I refused to tell him until my stuff was brought back to me that they had stole from me. He ended up saying he wouldn’t get it back till I told him. So I made it clear if I told him he has to go get my stuff or we are done. He ended up getting some of it back..
Later that week I ended up getting an Order or protection against his father and yes it was granted. I ended up blocking all my husbands family and yes, I'm still trying to work on my marriage with my husband.

2024.04.29 06:45 InevitableResident94 Stepmom is insane, dad flip-flopping divorcing her, brother and I at wit's end with them

*TRIGGER WARNING: MENTIONS OF DEATH AND SEXUAL ASSAULT*
Hey all,
I'm not sure how to even begin this. Most of what I am saying is from what I was told by my brother, so I've done my best to get as much perspective on it as possible.
Almost three years ago my mother passed away during the height of one of the COVID variants. My dad was utterly devastated by this, and he almost lost his life due to complications from COVID a few days after my mom's passing. Needless to say, it was an incredibly difficult and tragic time for us. For my brother and I, we were saddened by Mom's passing, but also grateful to still have Dad alive.
Unfortunately, things went downhill from there and had been for a couple years. My dad and I didn't have a good relationship after my mom passed. For starters, my brother and I thought that it was a priority for him to take as much time as he can to grieve mom. This of course was a suggestion to him and we thought it was important to care for his mental health during this. Instead, he insisted that he didn't have much time left on this Earth and made it his mission to start talking to and dating other women.
Well, five weeks after my mom passed, he tell me he gets with a woman that he previously had attempted to have an affair with while married to my mom. I was pissed at him to the point where we went to long periods of little contact. When we did have contact, it was ultimately fighting. Well, things didn't work out for them and they moved on from each other.
March of last year my dad gets with another woman and then a week after, gets married to her. In hindsight, I should have fought back against it but at the time our relationship was eroded that I was complacent and didn't argue. Little did I know this woman is who I would consider to be one of the most dangerous, scummiest and most disgusting individuals I've had the displeasure of meeting. I believe she is wholly responsible for the situation my dad and brother are in.
Fast forward to March of this year, and my brother, dad and stepmother became homeless. My dad gets arrested for failure to appear in court because of a prior DUI offense that he got this year, which required him to appear in court. He goes to jail as a result. My brother is put in a vulnerable position with my stepmom at this point because the stepmom tried hitting on him and coercing my brother for sex. I brought this up to my dad while he was in jail and he was committed on divorcing her after he got out of jail.
This woman is absolutely vile. She has a history of animal neglect and abuse. She lived in a trailer where she had at least 40 cats at once, all of them picked up off the streets. Animal control had to intervene and they found at least a couple of dead cats in her closet. This was before she met my dad. And while dad was in jail, she was brought in to a women's shelter. She had my dad's car in her possession. Animal control was ultimately called and she was put in jail on animal cruelty charges because it turned out that she was keeping two stray cats in the vehicle. To make matters worse, she defecated in the car with the cats in the vehicle, windows rolled up and everything. This is in rural North Carolina, so while it is still chilly during that time of year, it's absolutely unacceptable to have pets unoccupied in the vehicles at all times.
She gets arrested and processed the same day that my dad has his scheduled court hearing and he was supposed to get out after the conclusion of the hearing. Needless to say, after the court hearing, my dad was brought new charges against him, this time being charges of animal cruelty. For what? Well, in addition to association (i.e: he is married to her), it was alleged he neglected his own dogs while they were in his possession. In my experience with my dad, I found this odd because while my dad didn't live in the best of conditions (it is a rural area with a large percentage of the population in poverty), my dad did everything to care for his two dogs; he thought the world of them. So to get charged with animal cruelty shocked my brother and I both.
During the time my dad was in jail, the step mom 'gave away' my dad's two dogs. When I say 'gave away', what I am understanding is that the dogs were kidnapped and found with injuries. Well, animal control found my dad's dogs. One of the dogs died from complications, the other dog has or is going to be put down. It was surprising the animal cruelty charges were brought against my dad because its been our (my brother and me) collective experience that he treated those dogs well. So brother and I talked it over, and my brother decides to bail my dad out because it didn't seem the charges were justified. My dad is out about the first or second week in April.
So during this time, my dad is trying to do everything in his power to seek divorce from my step mom. From our (my brother and I) perspective, there was enough grounds to divorce her. Aside from her cruelty to animals, she is also responsible for the homeless situation they're in. They were two months behind on rent before they were given the boot. For two of those months, she was handed $700 a month to pay for rent to the landlord. She would pretend to pay the landlord but instead pocket the money and use it to buy her own personal wants. She would do this whether it was grocery money or rent money or money for bills.
The amount of shit she did while dad was in jail is astounding. She would go around to several of the restaurants in town with her former room mate, they would order food and drink, and put the bill under a tab in Dad's name. The car that she defecated in? My dad called a towing company to grab it and store it for a few days until it can be decided what to do with it. She is banned from the restaurant establishment that my brother works in because she would harass and harangue the staff and customers for free food, and to also harass my brother.
A couple days after my dad was bailed, SHE makes bail. And she has been harassing and stalking them since. She went back to jail for missing court last week, but she was shortly bailed out after, and she had been hanging around them since. It was getting bad that when dad had an opportunity to be free, he got with his lawyer to file a protective order which is pending the yay or nay.
Everything about her from the start of when Dad married her screamed giant red flag. Last October, my dad, brother and step mom were in the hospital because they felt sick to their stomach. Doctors noticed symptoms of poisoning and drew blood from all three of them. Turns out they had traces of thallium in their systems. My knowledge of thallium is limited, but it's my understanding it was used in rodenticides and insecticides and was prohibited in the US in the 70s due to its toxicity. But with all of the recent stuff unfolding, it really makes me suspect she had something to do with that.
Additionally, she mentioned that her ex-husband had forced himself upon her (the ex-husband, for context, also was living with them along with the landlord and two other individuals) one night when dad wasn't around and committed sexual assault against her. A sexual assault forensic exam was performed on her, and they did not find any traces of the ex-husband's semen, nor did they find signs that he was forceful against her. Additionally, the ex-husband took a polygraph at least 3 times and the polygraph concluded that he was being truthful.
This isn't to say that something didn't happen to her - it is possible. However, the way she conveyed the sexual assault over the phone seemed more indicative of a ploy to defame her ex-husband. Having been a victim of sexual abuse and assault as a child, I hyperventilate and panic cry whenever I start having flashbacks of the incident. I can not stand to think about or talk about it with people, and I refuse to talk about it with anyone after I told an ex-girlfriend of mine in grade school and she decided to tell everyone about it. But my stepmom was so nonchalant and cheerful mentioning it, that alarm bells started to go off in my head. The mentioned evidence and my experience as a sexual assault survivor makes me believe in this circumstance, she was being deceitful and was spiting her ex-husband.
Oh, and during this time leading up to now, my dad and brother have had to replace a total of 10 tires because they would be slashed out. It can't be proven, but I suspect that my stepmom slashed them.
Everything about this woman just screams red flag. At this point, I don't want her near my dad and brother, and I definitely don't want her near my son. On top of this, my dad is also flip-flopping on divorcing this woman. We suspect her of doing all of this shit, and yet my dad is showing signs of wanting to do the exact opposite of divorcing her. This woman is absolutely unhinged to the point I'm concerned that she is going to ruin my dad and my brother with allegations and she would be walking away with it. A part of why I think he is flip-flopping is due to a recent discovery. Dad uncovered that this woman has $600,000+ in her bank account, and he's like 'Why is she homeless? She could be buying a property or two, have enough money for property taxes for the rest of her life, and be okay.' It makes me think he is flip-flopping because of this discovery, when I think he should do the right thing and get as far away from her as possible. He did try to do the right thing and give her card back, that said. But I don't think she has a comprehension of how much that is worth, because she has effectively been on the streets since being out of jail recently.
The worst thing about all of this unfolding, is knowing that I am not in a position to be in person to help them. I'm all the way on the other side of the US. My dad and my brother tell me not to intervene; that it isn't my circus to be involved in. The advice I try to give my dad and brother seems to fall on deaf ears. It feels like it's going to get to a point where I'm going to have to fly down to intervene and figure something out. Knowing I fly down there means I will need a police escort for when I do see my dad and stepmom, because I do not want my step mom around my son, and I already know that my wife is going to be on guard the moment my step mom decides to put hands on my son. I apologize if this is rambling and incoherent, I'm doing my best to tell the story as best as possible. This will likely need a couple edits to lay it down completely.
TL;DR: My stepmom is absolutely batshit insane and is responsible for the homeless situation my dad and brother are in. Everything about her is a giant red flag from the beginning of when dad married her. She has done absolutely vile and reprehensible things. My dad initially committed to divorcing her, but now is on the fence about it. I really think it's the fact he uncovered she has six figures in her checking account, but she doesn't believe it and she has no comprehension of money given her history of poor spending habits.

2024.04.29 06:41 Professional_Fly7015 Eternal ego and Carnal ego

Trade carnal for corporeal in title * This post was more a (in the moment, flow of consciousness) type post made from my phone. excuse the grammatical errors and if it sounds too rambly, please!*
The mind virus, the satanic agenda, the darkness in general is the idea that we are the characters we create in our head. We were given templates on how to see the world and others through cultural, societal programming. It's like taking a beautifully, functioning system and dividing all the parts up so they can't harmonize, cant even recognize each other because they only project their shadows, thus evading truth. Creating an environment where our fears and shadows are promoted in order to create an habitat more suitable for "lower" egos. Those who would "sell their souls" (allegiance of their life energy to material, social "power" or "wealth") as oppose to claiming, remembering, connecting, inheriting eternal life may laugh now cry "later". For the carnal ego, the "selling of the soul" seems like a no brainer, like an alligence with true power. But of course this is the ignorance of an adolescent soul ego. It is the decision an ego can make before learning through experience and pain that it isnt desired and is actually limited in the eternal landscape an the antithesis of true power. "Father, forgive them. They know not what they do". Those who are, through love, "waking up" may cry now, laugh later an actually able to transcend the duality completely. Our crying will be married with laughing and will become one. Crying joyfully from love as opposed to weeping from the agony of disconnection is the children of God's destiny. Everything will fall away until the truth is revealed. You are truth. Carnal ego identities (energy signature) will burn away through "time". Love, is for the ego disconnected from source, an air which it cannot breath and dies. Align with the heart and the laws of eternity. The eternal ego's idenity and remembrance, exist on love eternal. Love is the "substance" which transcends time and space. Love is the reason for why manifest reality stabilized. Love is the realm of eternity. Love is the substance of our soul.

2024.04.29 06:39 Narwhal_Sparkles Baby Reindeer left me with an indescribable feeling

CW: SA, Abuse, Stalking, and trauma share. Probably better for a therapist office than a reddit post, but here we are.
13.1 million views, a show that is shocking and captivating to many, and had so many parallels to my lived experience. Instead of a romantic partner, it was my mom.
I know it's based on a true story, but they portraid this so accurately.
The cycle of abuse, leading to grooming, sa, and being a magnet for multiple incidences by multiple people. Mine compounded by undiagnosed neurodivergence causing an inability to tell when someones not being genuine.
The revisiting the places and people that hurt you.after you figure out you were hurt. The not having the legs to run anymore, the finally taking real action. The range of emotions you go through.
When I first tried to go no contact, the stalking had a lot of similarities. The calling, and calling, and calling, non stop for weeks, and texting, and sending messages on every platform possible, showing up at my house, she tried to get me into her car, harassing loved ones, and ultimately attempted suicide drawing me back into the cycle of abuse through guilt.
You don't always see it when you are in it. Growing up if I died my hair, she died her hair. If I cut my hair off, she cut her hair off and lots of other weird behaviors. In hindsight it felt like she wanted to steal my identity, but in the same breath tearing me apart and belittling every part of who I was. It never made sense.
I went no contact last year causing a resurface of these behaviors.
I finally took real action this time and put an end to it by getting a restraining order.
Then this show airs and I watch it just days after I get the restraining order.
It was surreal to watch and it be so fuckin accurate, even for something based in truth.
I feel like I should have something profound to say but I don't
It is just stuff that happened and a show came out at the same time.
I don't have a show though, or a quiet place to stop and just recover (not that it's negative that person does!). I just have PTSD, and that is an indescribable feeling.
