2024.05.14 00:59 bumble_bee0109 HAIR DYE TIP!
i’ve been scrolling on here for a little bit and i’ve seen a few people asking how to touch up their hair, like just to bring a little more colour back to the faded areas.
one thing i’ve learnt from a friend of mine which i do, i have pink and black split dye which means my pink fades very quickly.
PUT YOUR HAIRDYE IN YOUR SHAMPOO! (not in the bottle, put a little in your hand with your shampoo then wash your hair)
i’ve been doing this for months and it works so well. when i wash my hair now my pinks always touched up, my roots don’t show through and the colour is never faded, obviously my black isn’t affected as it’s black 😭
don’t use it in your conditioner though as conditioner stops hair dye from taking, so only shampoo.
i tend to shampoo my hair then leave it for about 2-4 mins to allow the dye to sit, in this time i wash myself etc.
hope this helps! 🩷

2024.05.14 00:58 IamThe2ndBR Hanna in the HCP
The following is an original work of fan fiction. It will only make sense if you’ve read Corpies and SP4
“Fucking bullshit cock-garglers!”, Hannah, formerly known as Hexcellent, uttered louder than she intended.
Luckily, she was sitting by herself in a third floor private room in the brand new wing of the Sizemore undergraduate library. On the main floor, any sound louder than a fart would’ve earned a collective, “shhhhh,” and annoyed stares from half the people studying. And frankly, as difficult as these Gen Chem practice exams were, the former PEERS would be spitting out a few more expletives before she was done.
Hannah glanced at her watch and sighed heavily. It was 4:43 PM. She still had two and a half hours before she’d need to head to the lift to meet Devon and Kacey, two other first year HCP students, for some evening training. Okay, you got this girl. You just fucked up some amped criminal supers, you can handle goddamn mass to mole composition formula and stoichiom-whatever-the-fuck, she thought to herself. With resigned determination, the HCP student began swiping through class presentation slides on her tablet, reviewing problems she had trouble with. For a solid 2 hours her eyes never left the material and she honestly started to feel more comfortable with what she needed to know. Hannah was in the zone. That was until she was interrupted by a knock on the door.
“What. The actual. Fuck?“, Hannah said slowly as she looked up towards the door and the adjacent window.
The summoner saw two boys standing outside , one of whom was a short muscular guy with dark brown hair that she recognized. She was fairly certain his name Lucas, and that he was another HCP first year. He was in the alternative class though, while Hannah was in combat, so they hadn’t been around each other a whole hell of a lot. The other seemed familiar, but she couldn’t put her finger or on where she’d seen him before. They were each moving their mouths, and pointing a finger at themselves and into the room clearly asking if they could come in. Hannah got up and opened the door.
“Hey, Helen, right? You think that we can study in here with you? All the good tables downstairs are full. I just met Tristan here and he’s in the same predicament as me,” said Lucas before he lowered his voice to a whisper, leaned his head in, and pointed to the boy he referred to as Tristan. “He’s in the same ummm…special program as us. In his 2nd year.”
With that information, Helen realized where she’d seen that guy. He was at the freshman party hosted by the second years. She remembered thinking that he came off as kind of a douchebag by the way he was standing around, nursing the same drink with a smug look on his face the whole time.
“Yeah, sure, whatever. As long as you guys dont act like complete assholes and make a bunch of noise. I gotta focus for about another 30 minutes then the room is yours. Cool?”
“Cool,” the boys said in unison.
“And it’s Hannah by the way. Not Helen. You’re Lucas, right?” She held out her hand towards him.
Lucas politely shook her hand. “Sorry about that Hannah. I’m terrible at remembering names,” he said with a slight shrug. “Just gonna grab a seat on this side so I can stay outta your way.” He held out his arm towards the opposite side of the table from where Hannah had been sitting and started walking over there.
Tristan walked in and closed the door behind himself. He gave Hannah a simple head nod and smirk but never formerly introduced himself. Very similar to his demeanor at the party; as though he couldn’t be bothered.
Yep, arrogant douche, she thought. Then she pictured the look of surprise on the 2nd year’s face if she were to manifest her big furry friend to accidentally-on-purpose kick him in the balls.
Hannah had often wondered if anyone in the HCP realized her summon was the same giant bunny that helped save Brewster almost a year ago. Titan had told her the DVA would hide any association between the tower-sized rabbit and her PEERS persona but she figured that once classmates saw her summon for the first time they’d make the connection. That didn’t seem to be the case though, at least as far as she knew. It helped that when she summoned Hopcules these days, he was about the same height and stature as Titan. None of her combat training took place outside yet, so no one in HCP got to see her manifestation at his full potential size. He’d also taken on more humanistic facial expressions lately and had been appearing in a variety of different clothes and accessories. Hell, the last time she trained with Kacey, the hulking rabbit materialized in a denim vest, a blue bandanna on his head, metal spiked leather bracelets around his wrists, brass knuckles, and with gold chains around his neck. Kacey couldn’t stop laughing during their sparring session until Hopcules had her bound and hog tied. Even with her enhanced strength, she couldn’t break free of what evidently weren’t just plain gold necklaces. It hadn’t dawned on Hannah until later that, the night before, she’d fallen asleep to an old 80s action flick about a renegade cop taking on a vicious street gang. She wondered if tonight her childhood protector would show up in a lab coat, holding a periodic table. The Sizemore freshman briefly shook her head to snap herself out of her thoughts and sat down to resume her work. She’d gotten fully back into her study mode until…
“Yo, does sound carry out of this room?” Tristan asked.
“Seriously?! You do remember that whole bit about NOT being obnoxious assholes, right?”Hannah asked incredulously.
“Damn girl chill. I just wanted to ask my guy here a question and didn’t want to risk being overheard. You should smile more girl. You know what I mean?“
Relax. Breathe. You don’t want to be seen as a troublemaker. It would not be a good idea to kick this fucker’s ass while inside of the school library. Or would it be? No. No. Definitely not a good idea, she thought to herself.
“Well unless you two were standing outside of here practicing at being mimes as a back up in case you don’t make it to graduation, I’m pretty sure this room is well insulated to sound.”
Tristan grunted in indignation and sarcastically replied, “you’re hilarious.”
“I’m definitely going all the way through. No way I won’t graduate,” Lucas chimed in, seemingly oblivious to the tension that’d just arisen between the other two people in the room. I’ve known I wanted to be a hero ever since I was little. My parents have spent a fortune sending me to an elite training camp for the last seven summers to make sure I’d be prepared as possible for the HCP. Plus I’ve had personal coaches work with me for years on new ways to use my power.”
“Bro! That’s what I was wanting to ask you about. I saw the logo on on your bag. Holy shit, did you do the SETA training camps?” asked Tristan.
“Yeah, I take it you’ve heard of it.”
“Hell yeah I have. The Super Elite Training Academy. Who hasn’t? I hear those workouts are so intense. No wonder you’re so jacked. You must’ve been in great shape for your first day here. Mad props bro. Is it true you get to fight against human looking robot…”
“Hey! Tweedledum and tweedle-dickless, I honestly didn’t know there was such a thing as a two-man circle jerk, so I really appreciate the show but is there any chance I can get back to work without any more distractions?“
Lucas had mixture surprise and guilt run across his face. He opened his mouth as though he was about to say something, but then glanced over at Tristan and stayed silent.
“What? You mad because you’re realizing you can’t stack up against the competition. Guess what. My guy here isn’t the only one who’s been preparing for this program long before he was admitted. I’ve been getting ready for years too. Trained in jiu-jitsu and boxing on top of honing my super abilities. Have you even done anything? Or did you just apply and cross your fingers?”
Hannah could see where this was going in. She decided in that moment to just let it play out. Fuck it, she thought. She was basically done studying. Even if she failed the final, which she was confident that she wouldn’t, she’d still pass the class. She stood up, pressed an icon on her tablet touchscreen and began putting other things away in her bag while she spoke. “Actually, I never had any special training as a kid. To tell you the truth, I shouldn’t even be here. I got into some trouble years ago. The kind of trouble that normally prevents one from getting admitted into an HCP. But, I was on a PEERs team for years and I got to do a lot of…
“Ha! You’re telling us you’re fucking a Corpie. Can you believe this, dude?“ Tristan nudged Lucas, looking for his agreement. To his credit, Lucas appeared visibly uncomfortable and leaned away from the other boy.
“Don’t know what it says about your class if they’re letting Corpies in,” continued Tristan with a sneer. “I guess you really do need to study. Obviously you’re the one that needs a back up plan. And here’s another thing little girl. It’s not just about how much you’ve trained beforehand, it’s also about who you know. And I know people. My mom‘s best friend is related to the Hero, Unseelie. So I’ve actually met a few Heroes who I’m sure will vouch for me when the time comes. Pity you can’t say the same. We all know Heroes don’t give two shits about Corpies.”
For a moment Hannah’s face expressed a flat affect. Then suddenly she burst into laughter. And not just some derisive laugh as though she was trying to convey to Tristan that she didn’t take his comments seriously. But an eye watering, oxygen depriving, honest to the Gods belly laugh. The kind of laugh that would’ve been contagious had she been around friends. She carried on for a minute until her amusement died down to a just a mild chortle. Hannah wiped her eyes. “You know people?“ She started laughing again, even louder than the first time. “Oh my Gods. Stop. Stop. I can’t breathe. Is this your fucking power?” Hannah was bent over at the waist still laughing hysterically, holding out one finger as to communicate, “give me a second.” After another minute, she wiped her eyes again, took a big gulp of air, and collected herself. “Woooh. Now that was some funny fucking shit.”
“Who in the hell do you think…“ Tristan started to say through gritted teeth.
“No no no. Please don’t get me started again. I don’t think my ribs can take it,“ said Hannah still chuckling some. “Let’s see what have I done and who do I know? You know I always knew that eventually I’d tell people about this, I just didn’t think it would go down like this.” The summoner raised her hand, then slowly curled it into a fist. Standing 3ft tall and leaning into the corner so as not to be visible to anyone who happened to be looking into the room at that moment, was Hopcules, adorned in the same armor he’d worn on the day he helped to save Brewster. “Look familiar to anyone?”
“That looks like the giant rabbit that fought robots with Titan. Hare-a-clees or something like that. My little sister has like 5 of its t-shirts ,” Lucas responded.
“Wow kid, you really are shit with remembering names. Hop-cu-les is the name I gave him when I was just a kid. Surprised the shit outta me that he came out the size of a skyscraper when those robots nearly killed me and my team, ” Hannah stated nonchalantly as she waved her hand and made Hopcules fade away.
With a grudging realization, Tristan began to ask, “wait, you’re not actually saying…”
“Oh look, captain mc-douche-nozzle is catching on. Somebody give the kid a prize. Yes, dumbass, I’m actually saying I fought with Titan, yes, thee fucking Titan, with every other Hero team in Brewster to stop those mechs from destroying the entire city. I’m saying the strongest hero alive is my personal mentor and it was his recommendation that got me into this program.”
Lucas looked back and forth between Hannah and Tristan having already realized that the sophomore might be one of those guys who’d lash out over his perceived inferiority. Lucas was so curious though he had to ask, “but… But, that rabbit is everywhere these days. Not just T-shirts. Toys, a cartoon, and I just read there’s going to be a next-gen console video game based on his character. If you own the rights to that image, you’d be loaded.“
“Eh,” Hannah said with shrug. “Youre leaving out the movie deal Lenny just got for me, but not something I talk about too much . It leaves me enough to be comfortable and to be able to donate a library wing to the university thats giving me a shot at being a hero.” Hannah responded. She gave Tristan a quick wink and glanced over her shoulder towards the door.
Tristan looked in the same direction and noticed something he hadn’t bothered paying attention to before, a small engraving on the center of the door of a bipedal rabbit. This would’ve been the most surprising thing that he’d seen since he set foot in the room if it wasn’t for the photo that appeared on Hannah’s tablet now facing him. It was an image of five people: Graham De Soto, the new head of the DVA, Titan in his iconic Hero costume, Dean Jackson, a large muscular young man with a shit eating grin who Tristan didn’t recognize, and another person in a generic gray mask, presumably female, and wearing a smile of malicious enjoyment, the same as the women standing before him.
Hannah saw what caught his attention and picked up her tablet. “Oh, did you notice this? I love this picture. Titan called me in for back up as a Temporary Emergency Hero Asset. We beat the shit out of a literal army of enhanced criminal supers and took this picture after everything calmed down. All the other HCP deans were there too. Mr. Desoto actually told me if I ever needed a favor, he owed me one.” Hannah wore a wistful expression as she thought back on that day with fondness.
“Anyway, I gotta get outta here. S’posed to meet up with my training partners. Cause no matter what your background is or who you know, no one is a shoe-in for the final 10. Lucas, feel free to meet us in the combat cells tonight if you want to get a work out in and get tired of hanging out with this fuckwad. Later losers!” Hannah said this last part as she turned around and headed towards door while holding up her middle finger for all to see.
Tristan was obviously livid. His hands had been visibly shaking as he stood and listened to all the ways this 1st year had accomplished more than he’d even thought possible for student. Who does this little bitch think she is? She’s full of shit. She has to be. I’ll show her. From his elbows down, Tristan‘s arms began to darken. In seconds the two appendages looked like small tree trunks, with his fingers elongating into barbed tendril-liked branches rapidly moving towards Hannah.
Although Lucas had worked for years to improve his ability to cast his energy based illusionary environments-referred to by one quirky coach in the past as a “holodeck”- speed was an element that he continued to struggle with. He began to cast a simple illusion of darkness, so as to blind Tristan, but he knew almost immediately that it wouldn’t reach him in time. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw furry white movement. The miniature Hopcules had reappeared and was running towards the back of the chair Tristan had been sitting in. With a parkour maneuver that would make Jackie Chan jealous, Hopcules leapt from the floor to the chair, then from the chair to the rear wall. He torpedoed off of the wall with the force of both hind paws and made contact Tristan’s head, knocking the arrogant second year to the floor. He laid there dazed and confused about what had just struck him as his branches retracted and his arms returned to normal. The summon vanished before he even touched the ground.
Hannah smiled as she exited the room. Thanks be to the Gods. I was hoping that piece of shit would try something so I could have self-defense as an excuse. Kacey and Devon better be ready. I’m already warmed up.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw furry white movement. The miniature Hopcules had reappeared and was running towards the back of the chair Tristan had been sitting in. With a parkour maneuver that would make Jackie Chan jealous, Hopcules leapt from the floor to the chair, then from the chair to the rear wall. He torpedoed off of the wall with the force of both hind paws and made contact Tristan’s head, knocking the arrogant second year to the floor. He laid there dazed and confused about what had just struck him as his branches retracted and his arms returned to normal. The summon vanished before he even touched the ground.
Hannah smiled as she exited the room. Thanks be to the Gods. I was hoping that piece of shit would try something so I could have self-defense as an excuse. Kacey and Devon better be ready. I’m already warmed up.
2024.05.14 00:58 Away-Technology-9457 I'm having an ongoing issue relating to my smell that I can't seem to remedy
I'm in my late 20s. I've been having an issue regarding the smell of my vagina for quite a substantial amount of time. I have what I can only describe as a strong vaginal odour. I find that the only thing that keeps it somewhat controlled is having multiple showers per day. This isn't practical for me. I don't think having 4+ showers a day is practical for most people either. I can't stay home all day so I'm always close to a shower. Within a few hours of showering, I already have a very prominent smell. I can also smell myself right away whenever I go to the bathroom or get dressed. Any kind of physical activity or exertion makes the smell even stronger, along with sexual arousal or being on my period. It's prominent even if I am just sitting around and not doing much, though.
I actually went to the trouble of going to a gynaecologist privately, which was pretty expensive for me. I have had tests for BV, yeast and STIs. They were all negative. I actually haven't had sex for more than a year and I don't want to while my odour issue is ongoing. So the gynaecologist I saw basically said that if it wasn't any of the aforementioned issues (and it doesn't seem to be any of those things), then it's probably "just how I am", meaning it must just be my natural smell. I have tried sleeping with no underwear on, and I already have a really strong scent as soon as I wake up. Going without underwear during the day isn't something I am comfortable with. I wanted to ask for those women who have a somewhat normal odour, how would you describe your hygiene routine? I use Dove body soap on my outer labia and around my clitoris. I don't put anything in my vagina specifically as I know you aren't supposed to. I don't really know what else to try at this point.

2024.05.14 00:57 SoonBlossom I either top 1 or bottom 4, any advices ?
So basically since I started playing the game back like 1 month ago roughly, I either top 1 or 5-6-7-8th in general
I was never an awesome player of battlegrounds, at my best I was a bit below 8k but I felt that I knew how to stabilize and play for the top 4 or so, right now I feel I either turbo destroy the game and it's not even close (like if I hit a Kalecgos/Brann/RockRock or that kind of stuff) or I pathetically try to play something else without success and I get steamrolled out of the game very fast
I don't know how to add a picture into a text post but I could screen like my last 10 games on the tracker where it's 3 top 1 and litteraly 7 games below 5th (three 5th, two 6th, one 7th and one 8th)
I'm not saying it's the meta, it's probably me that doesn't get what I'm doing right now but yeah I wanted to post here to know if anyone has advices on how to get out of this thing, I'm currently at 5k MMR, I still win 300 per top 1 and the fact that I'm still 5k tells a lot about my current level lol
Thank you very much in advance if you have any advices for me !

2024.05.14 00:56 Impossible-Range-505 Couple questions abt abcess/gum boil/ ? Possibly a Mucosal Gland and or Cyst?? CONFUSED!!!!
SOOOO let me start off with, the reason I'm confused is bc it doesn't make any sense. SO A Month ago I had a Retreat RC with a tooth on top ( endo did the retreat) then I had a tooth pulled that already had a root canal/crown just last week ( last Wednesday), it was also a back top tooth#2, I have been doing salt Walter rinses amd finished my Antibiotics on Saturday. ( it was my 3rd round of Abx my 1st round Amixocillin 7 days was 2 weeks before my Retreat bc my dentist said it may have been a sinus infection bc xrays showed NO INFECTION, went to Endo he started the Retreat with a drain and put Medicine in and sealed it up put me on my (2nd Round Antibiotics ) Keflex for 7 days, then 3 weeks later went back to finish up Retreat root canal, everything went awesome, but he let me know that my back top tooth #2 which had crown/rootcanal was loose and had a crack he could see on the x ray but I had already had a bad taste coming from it which I had already told my dentist, and he said it looked fine and it was probably from the one that was being retreated which he had said that it didn't have any infection ( it was infected based on what endo said, but My Dentist informed me that Endos can see more bc of their equipment, although my Dentist done a xRay that went all away around my head and he had stated he could see everything) so I had called my Dentist to make an appointment to have crown took off to look at it, but then with rge Money adding up so quickly I said let's pull it bc Endo said by what he saw it probably needed pulled and he was correct, it was decayed pretty bad, it's been less than a week it was pulled, but before they pulled it 4 days before I was put on a (3rd round of Abx Amoxicillin 9 days, [it was for 10 days but dropped my bottle and 3 of my pills got soaked] ) went had #2 extracted so far so good, THEN THIS MORNING HAPPENS!!!! Getting to my question, so sorry.
So I brushed my teeth and I have been noticing that bottom tooth # 30 which has also had a root canal with a crown just a couple years ago by my Dentist, has been sensitive and been told that is normal and since I have had the top extraction just 5 days ago I have noticed it is sore maybe from the pressure of biting on guaze trying to get bleeding to stop from the extraction ( I was bleeding for 8 Hrs pretty heavy)I'm not sure, ANYWAY then I noticed a hard Bump that was the color of my skin it was just a Hard bump with NO white on it like a pimple, but it was hard so I called my Dentist they said to come in at 12PM only 3 hrs away, so I was in the car before going in and I pulled the side of my mouth to look at it and pulled tight and then I tasted a salty taste,, ( the pressure from pulling the skin to look at it must have popped it) didn't see anything but BUMP GOT SMALLER, as I'm walking into my Dentist, x ray was done with a visual exam , ( no tapping of teeth or cold/hot sensitivity test just visual and xRay) was glaced at for maybe 10 seconds when I showed him where a very tiny bump remained (bc my dumb butt had to look at it and mess with it before he looked at it, so it popped amd went down quickly)and he gets up takes gloves off and said no sign of infection , so I asked what it was and the taste I explained to him once again, he said IDK I see nothing, he then says maybe a Mucosa Gland but not sure bc nothing is there, I asked if he could see where it was leaking, he said no signs of infection, I remind him I was told the same when I did have infection when he sentt me to the endo. So I felt embarrassed and so stupid and felt so small bc I felt he just didn't believe me bc his tone, didn't even explain anything to me, so abt 6 hrs later it's coming back slowly, amd I called my detist office again to let them know the bump is returning amd sometimes I taste a salty taste,the office staff called me back amd said he said he could put me on anorher round of antibiotics( 4th round) just in case it is an infection or gum boil, or it may just be a mucosa cyst ( i thought cyst didnt drain?)I reminded them I had just finished a 9 day ABX ( my 3rd round) not even 48 hrs ago, then I told her I wanted to ask him questions bc I never had a " Abcess/ Gum Boil/Mucosa Cyst, but he literally was in that room with me MAYBE 1.5 MINUTES, she asked me what would I need to know, I then changed the subject amd asked what should I do going foward, Their Amswer since I'm" denying" My 4th round of Antibiotics within a month and a half was to see if it keeps coming back, maybe wait a month or so, touch base if any significant change and go from there. I asked if maybe I should go to an oral surgeon for them to glance at it. I was told no , I couldn't get a referral let's just wait and see, I explained to them if IF it's an infection I would take my 4th round of Antibiotics but he said it wasn't an infection this morning , amd I asked twice as he was walking out if he was sure it wasn't t an infection, he stated NO It isn't, then while walking down the hall I asked him one more time if he was sure it wasn't an infection he said NO, if it was am abcess it would show up on xray. He then stated real loud NOTHING NOTHING Is there and IF something Appears call us, I felt so small. But I did call, and I still have NO ANSWERS after paying $110.00 today for NOTHING!!!! I also have Crohns so being on alot of Antibiotics cam really mess me up, amd ir it's truly not an infection you don't need an Antibiotic, or so I thought. So I said and explained all that, to ask, is it possible to have a "Gum boil" without any infection? The hard Bump is not right under tooth #30, it's more over we're #29 ( but #29 is gone just empty space) so it's way down on gums Like where your inside cheeks go down and meet ur gums, I hope I'm explaining that right, anyway again it's not right up under tooth #30 I would say if #29 was there it would be under that tooth all the way down past gums where gums meets ur cheeks. ( when I'm home I may be able to get a picture to explain better) but again #30 has been sore and hurting off and on since extraction again I thought it was from me bitting down on that guaze all those hrs, I had alot of pressure on them, but before that I had explained to them that it was sensitive to sweets, amd some colds was told it was normal, so again here are my questions!!
What could it be if it isn't infection?
Should I get a 2nd opinion?
If it's an abcess , are abcess hard to leak out, does it take alot to pop am abcess? ( again there was no white pimple looking bump or any blood or pus that leaked out it was just clear n salty, amd the color of bump was the color of my gums)?
How fast do abcess fill back up if it's an infection amd would it hurt and could u see where it leaked or popped fluid from? Would it look like a sore after it pops? ( mine hasn't filled all the way up as it was this morning but i can tell it's coming back, it's slow.
Should I take another 4th round of Antibiotics without knowing it's a true infection?
I have spent $2,800 in the past Month and half, and I'm so scared I'm gonna have to lose another tooth bc I can't afford another Retreat, and I'm scared my dentist doesn't really care or maybe just doesn't know, but being told to wait it out, if it's am abcess wouldn't that be dangerous? I hope I explained amd to anyone that cares to explain anything to me abt what you think my Dentist is thinking please explain to me bc I don't even know. All I l ow to do, is wait and see what happens. And was told to try to wait atleast a month. THANKS and GOD BLESS!!!!

Dear M&M,
This is a list of what the nasty "JE"rk has done to me over decades. Now I'm writing this out bc I would like you to know how he has manipulated and hurt me throughout my life. Mostly, to show you that he went to extremes bc my love for you was all encompassing. When he would put me under hypnosis I wouldn't relent. I wouldn't stop loving you. And he beat me up for it. Look, my sweet M&M, I don't want you to feel like you owe me anything. Or that you have to love me. No, I just want to clear the air finally. To bring truth to what was done. You deserve that. You went through so much as well. And I would love to keep this kind of stuff private but he took that away and im left to tell the world our story so you can at least know i never gave up on you. Bc a part of me knows you never gave up on me. Also, if anyone reads this I'm healed enough to talk about everything. Don't be sad for me. I'm a super resilient person at this point and mentally tough.💪
So here it goes ok, things that happened to me that he did:
So dude, that's some of it. I'm just sad that I can't really discuss this in private with you bc he has compromised so much of my communication with you. The goal was for me to never know you or that I loved you so that I could clear your name and tell the truth of what was really done to us both.

I'm a super resilient person at this point and mentally tough.💪
So here it goes ok, things that happened to me that he did:
- He raped me along with other men.
- He told me never to say anything or he would kill me and hurt you.
- He said he would break us up if I said anything.
- Later, after he was appointed the investigator of the gang rape he took me and used hypnosis and torture, so as to keep me from telling the truth.
- Him and his buddies took me to a room to discuss how they were going to destroy "evidence" which was me. Someone mentioned "get her to kill herself". So JE used hypnosis and he almost succeeded except I was found on time. It was clear he needed me to appear crazy and suggested everything that happened was bc of my past. It was part of the script I was supposed to say.
- It became clear you wanted justice and didn't know who JE really was. He had to block my memories by taking me to a hotel where he used torture and hypnosis at the same time. He repeatedly raped me at the hotel. After several weekends I lost all conscious awareness of who you were M&M. You would appear and I wouldn't know your name or that we had a relationship.
- He constantly blocked you and the investigation and turned it around on you, M&M.
- He used hypnosis on me to say you sexually assaulted me. I was being questioned in the same room that JE and the other men raped me. My supervisor was getting tired of waiting around bc I kept telling them, "He didn't do anything wrong. "... once my supervisor left, JE brought out the gold chain (hypnosis) and recorded me saying you sexually assaulted me.
- At this point, I was trained with the hypnosis, but I fought hard for you. JE also used hypnosis on other women, and they wrongfully accused you as well under hypnosis.
- He made sure to continue to degrade me to my supervisor, and I got a "15" bc he insisted I was out of line for what happened between you and me..(SMH).
- He took possession of all my paperwork and destroyed everything connected to you, M&M. He destroyed every memory of us and every picture. He destroyed "US."
- He did various things to other women I'm not going to mention here.
- He made up lies about my past to use and weaponize against me and you, or suggest it was for my protection he went to this extreme.
- All communication between us both was severely compromised. I never received anything from you. He would make me dictate letters and write them out under hypnosis.
- He forwarded all my mail to his home.
- He has been monitoring my online activities since online became a thing.
- Through hypnosis, he was able to manage to get me into relationships that destroyed my self-esteem and worth even more so. This, bc he knew you were waiting it out. Even this last time with my ex-husband. Relationships I would have never entered, but he intervened.
- He kept me from my Gd.
- Throughout the time he took possession of me, he painted himself as my boyfriend to others so that they wouldn't believe he was part of the gang rape or that he was continuing to rape me.
- I was hypnotized to play a role and pretend that I wanted to be with him. That I loved him, etc.
- People found out so he put more pressure on me and really did such a number on me mentally that I would never know you M&M (not getting into how he tortured me to lose all conscious awareness of ever knowing you M&M)
- He's most likely kept recordings and records of this as he plays for life since what he did was catastrophic. Too many people found out the truth. I have my mind and voice back, which is the real truth.
- He intervened with any success I could have had from going to grad school, including failing a class, gre,... having to leave prestigious work positions bc I didn't know why I was severely suffering from ptsd... bc part of the script is keeping me down. Too much clout, and he won't be believed if I succeeded professionally. PHD etc.
- My kiddo dude... this one kills me. I was kept down so much that I hardly had the strength to fight anymore.
- I was never going to remember you, but I did... and I'm so very grateful 🙏 now. Bc I know what love really is. I have that, at least.
So dude, that's some of it. I'm just sad that I can't really discuss this in private with you bc he has compromised so much of my communication with you. The goal was for me to never know you or that I loved you so that I could clear your name and tell the truth of what was really done to us both.
2024.05.14 00:56 Mojo884ever Beware of the "petty" exes.
I'm a few years out from my divorce. You can find the full story in my post history.
CliffNotes version - 2020, ex wife had an affair with a (also married) mutual coworker while I was quarantined with Covid.
My ex wife and I still share a joint bank account. I know this is dumb. It is literally the only thing linking us together. We don't talk, we don't text, I blocked her on Facebook. Literally 99.99% no contact.
The reason for this continued joint bank account is that she took out a loan for a car while we were still together, using our joint account. She now lives across the state, where there are no branches of the bank. So they deduct the loan payment from the bank account, then she sends me money to replace it.
It doesn't bother me. In the four years we've been divorced, she's never touched the account for any reason other than the automatic loan payment.
Last month she was two weeks late on repaying me. So I sent her a gif of Joey from Friends tapping Chandler on the shoulder. Just as a little 'reminder nudge.'
She texted back "Crap, I knew I forgot something. Can I pay you Friday?"
"Sure."
Then she said "Sorry, I've just been so scatterbrained this month."
.... And then she sent me a picture of a baby. I didn't even know she had been pregnant. Like I said, we've been essentially no-contact since the divorce. All of our conversations have been about that bill - either her sending payment, or me thanking her.
She knows that I want to be a dad... that I wantED (emphasis on the past tense) to start a family with her. I was dumbfounded by the audacity of it...
I stared at my phone for about five seconds before closing the app and moving on with my day.
I'm doing so much better these days. I'm not letting that storm cloud move back over my valley of peace.
I don't even know if she INTENDED to try and hurt me, or if it was just an innocent picture. I'm leaning toward the former. Point is, even when you get past whatever roadblock lays before you, beware of the petty exes.

I'm a super resilient person at this point and mentally tough.💪
So here it goes ok, things that happened to me that he did:
So dude, that's some of it. I'm just sad that I can't really discuss this in private with you bc he has compromised so much of my communication with you. The goal was for me to never know you or that I loved you so that I could clear your name and tell the truth of what was really done to us both.

This is a list of what the nasty "JE"rk has done to me over decades. Now I'm writing this out bc I would like you to know how he has manipulated and hurt me throughout my life. Mostly, to show you that he went to extremes bc my love for you was all encompassing. When he would put me under hypnosis I wouldn't relent. I wouldn't stop loving you. And he beat me up for it. Look, my sweet M&M, I don't want you to feel like you owe me anything. Or that you have to love me. No, I just want to clear the air finally. To bring truth to what was done. You deserve that. You went through so much as well. And I would love to keep this kind of stuff private but he took that away and im left to tell the world our story so you can at least know i never gave up on you. Bc a part of me knows you never gave up on me. Also, if anyone reads this I'm healed enough to talk about everything. Don't be sad for me. I'm a super resilient person at this point and mentally tough.💪
So here it goes ok, things that happened to me that he did:
- He raped me along with other men.
- He told me never to say anything or he would kill me and hurt you.
- He said he would break us up if I said anything.
- Later, after he was appointed the investigator of the gang rape he took me and used hypnosis and torture, so as to keep me from telling the truth.
- Him and his buddies took me to a room to discuss how they were going to destroy "evidence" which was me. Someone mentioned "get her to kill herself". So JE used hypnosis and he almost succeeded except I was found on time. It was clear he needed me to appear crazy and suggested everything that happened was bc of my past. It was part of the script I was supposed to say.
- It became clear you wanted justice and didn't know who JE really was. He had to block my memories by taking me to a hotel where he used torture and hypnosis at the same time. He repeatedly raped me at the hotel. After several weekends I lost all conscious awareness of who you were M&M. You would appear and I wouldn't know your name or that we had a relationship.
- He constantly blocked you and the investigation and turned it around on you, M&M.
- He used hypnosis on me to say you sexually assaulted me. I was being questioned in the same room that JE and the other men raped me. My supervisor was getting tired of waiting around bc I kept telling them, "He didn't do anything wrong. "... once my supervisor left, JE brought out the gold chain (hypnosis) and recorded me saying you sexually assaulted me.
- At this point, I was trained with the hypnosis, but I fought hard for you. JE also used hypnosis on other women, and they wrongfully accused you as well under hypnosis.
- He made sure to continue to degrade me to my supervisor, and I got a "15" bc he insisted I was out of line for what happened between you and me..(SMH).
- He took possession of all my paperwork and destroyed everything connected to you, M&M. He destroyed every memory of us and every picture. He destroyed "US."
- He did various things to other women I'm not going to mention here.
- He made up lies about my past to use and weaponize against me and you, or suggest it was for my protection he went to this extreme.
- All communication between us both was severely compromised. I never received anything from you. He would make me dictate letters and write them out under hypnosis.
- He forwarded all my mail to his home.
- He has been monitoring my online activities since online became a thing.
- Through hypnosis, he was able to manage to get me into relationships that destroyed my self-esteem and worth even more so. This, bc he knew you were waiting it out. Even this last time with my ex-husband. Relationships I would have never entered, but he intervened.
- He kept me from my Gd.
- Throughout the time he took possession of me, he painted himself as my boyfriend to others so that they wouldn't believe he was part of the gang rape or that he was continuing to rape me.
- I was hypnotized to play a role and pretend that I wanted to be with him. That I loved him, etc.
- People found out so he put more pressure on me and really did such a number on me mentally that I would never know you M&M (not getting into how he tortured me to lose all conscious awareness of ever knowing you M&M)
- He's most likely kept recordings and records of this as he plays for life since what he did was catastrophic. Too many people found out the truth. I have my mind and voice back, which is the real truth.
- He intervened with any success I could have had from going to grad school, including failing a class, gre,... having to leave prestigious work positions bc I didn't know why I was severely suffering from ptsd... bc part of the script is keeping me down. Too much clout, and he won't be believed if I succeeded professionally. PHD etc.
- My kiddo dude... this one kills me. I was kept down so much that I hardly had the strength to fight anymore.
- I was never going to remember you, but I did... and I'm so very grateful 🙏 now. Bc I know what love really is. I have that, at least.
So dude, that's some of it. I'm just sad that I can't really discuss this in private with you bc he has compromised so much of my communication with you. The goal was for me to never know you or that I loved you so that I could clear your name and tell the truth of what was really done to us both.

2024.05.14 00:54 Greenville_Gent "Movie Master Class" for my kiddos
Last summer was my son’s first without having full-time summer camp as the default. I’m a CPA, and so I’m pretty flexible with my schedule during the summer, so I took it upon myself to create a “movie master class” series to share with him. If I were “good” at whittling, maybe I’d teach him to whittle – or if I knew jazz piano, perhaps that’s where we would have spent our time. But alas, those are not my skills. However, I’ve been watching movies “seriously” enough and for long enough that I wanted to seize the opportunity to share my love of movies.
Last summer was the movie summer for my son & me. This summer, it’ll be time for my daughter and me to explore movies together. My gallie is 13 years old. (My son was 14 last year for comparison.)
I’m looking for recommendations. In particular, it seems, I need more recs from the last 20 years. I realized upon putting together the first week of my film festival calendar that my knowledge does dry up for more recent fare.
Unfortunately, as I found out last year in trying to pose a similar question to this forum, we’re not allowed to post screenshots of collections from letterboxd. I get it, I get it – but it does take away a nice & easy tool to quickly display a host of movie titles. So, let me do this: I’m in the process of scheduling Week 1 of my festival. Here’s what I had:
20-MayThe Graduate(1967) 21-MayAmélie(2001) 22-MayPi(1998) 23-MayGood Will Hunting(1997) 24-MayFull Contact(1992)
Seeing how compressed in time it is, I’m tempted to find a more recent movie to replace Good Will Hunting, lest the whole exercise feel like exploring “classics,” lol.
Let me also share what my son & I ended up watching.
I’d love to discuss this with you. Y’all on this subreddit are my people, as you’ll see from my son’s summer:
12-JunDo The Right Thing 13-JunTotal Recall 14-JunYojimbo 15-JunScream 16-JunA Fistful of Dollars 26-JunRun Lola Run 27-JunJohn Wick: Chapter 4 28-JunThis Is The End 29-Jun$ 30-JunAsteroid City 5-JulClerks 6-JulSanjuro 7-JulKill Bill, Vol 1 10-JulBowling for Columbine 11-JulAguirre, The Wrath of G-d 12-JulRingu 14-JulCrimes and Misdemeanors 17-JulRashomon 18-JulRushmore 19-JulThe Evil Dead 24-JulKill Bill, Vol 2 25-JulMean Streets 26-JulAkhnaten 27-JulKey Largo 28-JulMenace II Society 31-JulOnce Upon a Time in China 1-AugOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood 2-AugThe 400 Blows 3-AugNo Country for Old Men 4-AugSaving Silverman
Thanks gang!
EDIT to say, I don't know what happened to my tables, which look fine in the previews. If anyone knows how I can make them look better, let me know, please.

2024.05.14 00:53 bobrewer_ LONGING LETTERS
Red brick castles stacked the suburban streets. Divided by side yards and dogs barking. The sun laid crisp over the spliced horizon, spilling yolk over the withering lawns.
Henry waited in his lawn chair beside the mailbox. As his body had taken recent liberties, he'd remained fit from his army training. His throat rumbled as he checked his silver watch. Finally, the postman flushed the corner, and stumbled to Henry's curb, to his bag, then to his letter.
"...you're late, Lenny," Henry pulled his readers.
Lenny, the paperboy, regained his choppy breath. Coke-bottle glasses stored his tortoise eyes. They surveyed the concrete corridor they called Gerben Street, "I'm sorry, Mr. Bronson, I really am. I never meant to keep you waiting... I'm sorry, Henry."
Henry didn't answer the boy, tore the envelope with ape's elegance. Pranced the script of his lover's ink. The letter had traveled from Paris, France, skidded the black waves of the Atlantic Ocean, hitched buses, bikes, and buggies, all to kiss the smooth of Henry's palms.
The words were from his lover, Amélie, he'd met at war in an escapade to Bordeaux. It was here he'd kissed her cherry cheeks, and they'd made love only a year before.
Amélie talked of finer things, life and love and silver tastes. She yearned for Henry, and hadn't taken a lover since. Sleeping all alone, cold as the sleepy ocean in between them.
Love,
Amélie
Those four letters, strung together. Followed by that name, that haunted, horrible, beautiful name. The music of Henry's life, a distant harp in a sway of windy trees.
Henry spent all night beneath a dancing candle. Scribbling, nixing, finding the perfect words. Rifling through Shakespeare, and Plath, and Wilde. It was at the page's end, Henry wrote, what he knew he'd write in the weeks and weeks before:
"Oh, Amélie, won't you visit me? Here in the States? I know you don't like the food. I don't either, but with each other, me with you, and you with me, we'll ever, never notice."
He entered the post office that morning, and his reply was off to France. The weeks and weeks had passed again, crawling to November's end. Henry waited by that same mailbox, and waited, and waited, but nothing arrived in the days after.
He entered the post office that cold evening, and met the clerk, who's eyes tired with crescent glints. Henry demanded his mail be delivered to him, scolding the patient clerk, providing his address thereafter.
The clerk, a powdered, faded beauty of a woman, "we had a change in paperboys. We're putting a new employee on that route by Gerben Street."
"Oh no, that's a shame," Henry dampened. He enjoyed the paperboy, Lenny, and his weekly company. He'd felt shame for their final, frustrated exchange. The clerk retreated to a backroom, and returned with a letter from France.
Henry couldn't help himself. He ripped and ripped the note naked. Read the first and fourth and tens of lines.
"There isn't a night I don't think of you. I wander stars wondering if you do too. Your touch, your breath, your arms. I receive the memory fondly in a summer's dream, and I don't forget a word you've said along the way. I love you, Henry Bronson. And this ocean, though far and wide, won't stop the heart from sailing. Because our children will know silver dreams too, and what parents we'd be to not make them true. You are the love of my life. The music of my night.
I'll arrive in Savannah on the evening of Christmas Eve.
Love,
Amélie"
The words strummed his chest. Henry rose his eyes to the world anew, because Amélie, his beloved Amélie——was coming to visit at last.
Henry was paralyzed in weeks to come. His lawn, unattended, his sink, stacked with dishes. He stared his only photo of Amélie, smiling at her blushed eyes for hours and hours and hours. In this love he'd been born again, a new meaning in every little thing.
It was finally time——Christmas Eve. Snow peppered the sheets of the crystal tarmac. Henry entered the airport, propelled by the stride of anxious confidence. He coursed the halls, until he'd arrived at the final gate:
PARIS, FRANCE [ARRIVING IN 4 MINUTES]
Minutes became years, years decades. He walked to the bar and asked for a glass of water. Flushed his throat with fretting sips, and noticed the custodian who mopped spilled coffee. A familiar face, though, Henry couldn't pin him. He approached, and to his surprise, it was the old paperboy, Lenny.
They shared a laugh and began to catch up. Henry's eyes flirting with the gate:
[ARRIVING IN 2 MINUTES]
Lenny rambled, "they canned me without warning, right before the holidays. I've struggled to make due, but——I guess it's all worked out okay," he paused, "funny enough——I was en route to deliver on your street before I got the call. Gerben Street, right?"
[ARRIVING IN 1 MINUTE]
Henry's heart thumped like a derby horse. He glanced the snow that flaked the window.
"Yeah, Gerben."
"Gerben, yeah, I thought I remembered," Lenny nodded, "you know, Mr. Bronson, I think I left your letter in my backpack, actually. Would you like me to check?"
"Sure."
Lenny was off, and as he left, Frenchmen, women, and decadent Americans flooded the gate's entrance. Pulling luggage, sighing stretches, lending hugs. Henry watched carefully for his cherry, silver dream. To each face, he paid his attention. Lenny nudged Henry, handed over the envelope.
"Thanks," Henry took the note, "Merry Christmas... I'll see you around, I hope."
"Sure," Lenny shuddered in embarrassment. His somber step parted from Henry, he replied with a mumbled, "Merry Christmas."
In the later minutes, Henry didn't see Amélie, or even a confused resemblance. He waited till the plane was empty, till the Spain-bound passengers began to board. He even checked the desk, where a pretty-faced lady exclaimed, "no Amélie here, I'm sorry." With great disappointment, Henry exited the airport, never leaving the sight of his fluttered feet.
Even for Henry, a man of hope and perseverance, it was too hard not to cry. He hailed a taxi, directed the driver with snotty tremble, and soon enough, he was home in his red brick house, at home where the houses stacked the streets, and the streets tickled with frost.
In that dark room, where Henry wrote Amélie, was where the music died. Where the wind had swallowed the galloped harp. Henry cried, cursed himself a fool. A fool, a fool, a fool. He'd hoped as a child, now damned a hopeless recluse. His sorrow turned to confusion, confusion to frustration, frustration to rage anew.
He leapt from his chair, struck a match, lit a wick, plucked a pen, placed his paper, and before the ink would paint the page, before he'd damn Amélie to Hell, her and her cherry cheeks, he remembered the letter the paperboy had given him.
Henry removed the crumpled letter from his coat, peeled the stick of the envelope. Slipped the letter from its sleeve, pulled his readers, and began to prance the ink in reading.
Amélie, again, talked of finer things. Gifts, and gods, and golden fountains.
She couldn't wait any longer, to meet her beloved Henry.
She couldn't sleep another night, with this space between.
The black waves, the buses, bikes and buggies. All the things from her to he.
It should not wait. No, it could not wait any longer.
Henry dabbed his eyes clear and clean, as he read the final words:
"Henry, oh, Henry, I never meant to keep you waiting. You never quite knew what you meant to me."
Henry lowered his eyes to the page's end, to the bottom of the longing letter:
Love,
Yours Truly,
Lenny

He even checked the desk, where a pretty-faced lady exclaimed, "no Amélie here, I'm sorry." With great disappointment, Henry exited the airport, never leaving the sight of his fluttered feet.
Even for Henry, a man of hope and perseverance, it was too hard not to cry. He hailed a taxi, directed the driver with snotty tremble, and soon enough, he was home in his red brick house, at home where the houses stacked the streets, and the streets tickled with frost.
In that dark room, where Henry wrote Amélie, was where the music died. Where the wind had swallowed the galloped harp. Henry cried, cursed himself a fool. A fool, a fool, a fool. He'd hoped as a child, now damned a hopeless recluse. His sorrow turned to confusion, confusion to frustration, frustration to rage anew.
He leapt from his chair, struck a match, lit a wick, plucked a pen, placed his paper, and before the ink would paint the page, before he'd damn Amélie to Hell, her and her cherry cheeks, he remembered the letter the paperboy had given him.
Henry removed the crumpled letter from his coat, peeled the stick of the envelope. Slipped the letter from its sleeve, pulled his readers, and began to prance the ink in reading.
Amélie, again, talked of finer things. Gifts, and gods, and golden fountains.
She couldn't wait any longer, to meet her beloved Henry.
She couldn't sleep another night, with this space between.
The black waves, the buses, bikes and buggies. All the things from her to he.
It should not wait. No, it could not wait any longer.
Henry dabbed his eyes clear and clean, as he read the final words:
"Henry, oh, Henry, I never meant to keep you waiting. You never quite knew what you meant to me."
Henry lowered his eyes to the page's end, to the bottom of the longing letter:
Love,
Yours Truly,
Lenny

2024.05.14 00:51 Insane_Monster Broke-up 5 years relationship due to gaming addiction
Hi all, I'm new here, and I just wanted to briefly share the story of my relationship with you all. To put things clear, I am not the addicted one: my now ex-girlfriend is. We are both in our early 30s. Technically I am a video game developer, and I currently develop a famous mod. I am also a teacher, so I see a fair share of problems with video-games in teenagers, and even if do love developing games, I am growing the more worried about the effect they may cause.
Long story short, when I met my girlfriend she was a shy, intelligent person. She had faith in catholic curch (the main one in my country, Italy) and she cared for other people. She was a bit too competitive for my liking, and she really wanted to play games (not video-games, like card games, chess and the like), but no signs of trouble in sight (at least to me). She read books, she went to the gym and all of that stuff.
When COVID came, in 2020, me and some of my friends started to play a game now I even dread to mention: Apex Legends. Now, I'm not into FPS (unlike my friends), but we played like 2-3 hours per day during the pandemic. Reasonable, considering we were to stay at home.
The real problem begun afterwards. She always wanted to play that game. More than going out. She always asked. And when not playing that game, she started playing other games on the phone (stuff like Angry Birds, with daily rewards or something like that). She was depending on me or my friends to play Apex at the time, and for some years I felt something was off and worsening, but overall I never really understood she had a dependency. In the meanwhile, I stopped playing Apex completely due to boredom and, quite frankly, having better things to do.
Then, she started hiding the time spent gaming on Apex from me (we didn't live togehter at the time). She started hiding her phone while playing Angry Birds and later I discovered even other games. She was reluctant to do things and always wanted to be at home. She didn't want to work (even if she is employed, she just complained a lot) and she always seemed bored at everything. She stopped attending the curch and doing any kind of physical activity. I was feeling something was off, but she went to a therapist and we started building our home together, like a regular couple would do.
At the end of last year, my friends stopped playing Apex completely. I was like: cool, now she will be less focused on the game and we are going to live together in our beautiful house soon. Stuff will improve. Boy, was I wrong. She started looking around discord and Twitch to find other people to play with. She found them. Now she plays 8-10 hours a day. To put things in perspective I barely play anything more than 3-6 hours per WEEK. Later on I discovered she was hiding all the time spent gaming to her therapist.
I invested money, time and love in our house and our relationship. I have nothing now, at 31 years old. I feel like I don't love her anymore, at least not what she has become. I tried to fight this, I tried to talk to her. She thinks to play is the best thing right now. She said to me it's just temporary. It's been temporary for years and worsening each year... She asked me to encourage her to play more or join her during her sessions.
A week ago I decided to leave her, being unable to help her and not willing to endure any longer to be less relevant than a fucking game. She doesn't want to be helped and I want to live a... happy life, or at least a decent one. And yet I am unable to not feel guilty for all of this. For introducing her to that game, for not being able to recognize the first symptoms before it was too late.
Sorry for the long post. I just wanted to tell my story and to let you all know that now I can finally see what games can do to adults. I am a developer, and never ever I would have thought to be unable to manage something like this, to see someone you love to become something else entirely. To all of you who fight against this nightmare of addiction, you are doing great! I was unable to save my girlfriend, as she didn't want to be saved. I hope you will.

2024.05.14 00:51 Funk_street AIO - best friend argument
My best friend of over 20 years + I had an intense fight on the phone last week. It certainly has not been our first fight but it was (in my opinion) the worst that we've had so far. Things have been good between us lately, we hang out and have fun together. We call each other on the phone and share tons of stuff about our lives with each other, both good and bad. We joke and laugh over text about things together.
Last week my best friend called me and immediately I could tell that they were having a rough week. They mentioned at the beginning of the call that they were having a challenging week at work and their romantic partner who has previously dumped them twice came around with a gift trying to make amends which was really confusing for them. I listened and offered advice and support + generally let them vent. The conversation shifted towards discussing a creative project that we have been working on together for about 6 years. For some dumb reason, I mentioned that I thought they were being "tweaky" and that it might not ever get done. I still feel that way, but I can see now how that was a cheap shot on my part considering how much of an emotional week my friend was having.
It escalated into a yelling match on the phone and that phone call went on for 4.5 hours. I kept trying to get off the phone but they insisted that we work it out. Eventually, the call ended and we didn't speak for about a week.
In that time, I sent a short email apologizing for what I said on the phone about the "tweaky" stuff and saying that I wanted to set a new boundary where I could be allowed to exit a yelling match until we were both more calm.
I got a return email. It was 35 pages long. It went into extreme detail about all of these things that I've done in my life that were problematic for my friend. They brought up romantic relationships of mine from 10+ years ago and my fears of COVID during the pandemic. They brought up a lot of stuff about my money habits, even breaking down what they thought that I spent this past year and speculating (incorrectly) about how much money I have in the bank. Their main point with all of this was to show me what a mess I am even though I've been in therapy for 3 years and am currently in a good live-in relationship and no longer afraid of COVID.
I do admit to dumping a ton of drama on them over the years with relationships and also admit to being terrified of COVID pre-therapy. All that stuff was problematic for them. But I've worked hard on myself with two therapists the past few years and I'm in a much better place. Also we've talked about all of that and I've apologized. It's not the first time that they brought it all up, which is why I started therapy in the first place. I thought that we were past all of this stuff and none of it was related to our actual fight this week.
Side note on the money stuff that they brought up: I've loaned them thousands of dollars in the past and even recently they asked to borrow more money from me when they were laid off, but somehow are still taking me to task on my money habits?
Basically, it's incredibly painful, but I don't feel like I want to be friends with them anymore. I don't think it was cool to bring up all this stuff from my past (that I've worked on fixing) and throw it in my face just to seemingly try to hold a position of superiority over me in a fight that wasn't related to the issues that they brought up.
Also the keeping track of my money thing is weird and creepy to me.
I feel like I won't be able to tell them anything personal in the future if we do stay friends out of a fear of it being used against me at a later date. So to me, the trust feels like it has been broken.
Also, I've never sent a laundry list to someone in a fight, like is that even cool to do at all? It feels punitive like I'm being punished or something.
For what it's worth, I didn't call them names or cuss at them in the emails but they cussed a bunch at me in their email and called me an a**hole.
Am I overreacting to end a 20+ year friendship because of this?
submitted by Funk_street to AmIOverreacting [link] [comments]
Last week my best friend called me and immediately I could tell that they were having a rough week. They mentioned at the beginning of the call that they were having a challenging week at work and their romantic partner who has previously dumped them twice came around with a gift trying to make amends which was really confusing for them. I listened and offered advice and support + generally let them vent. The conversation shifted towards discussing a creative project that we have been working on together for about 6 years. For some dumb reason, I mentioned that I thought they were being "tweaky" and that it might not ever get done. I still feel that way, but I can see now how that was a cheap shot on my part considering how much of an emotional week my friend was having.
It escalated into a yelling match on the phone and that phone call went on for 4.5 hours. I kept trying to get off the phone but they insisted that we work it out. Eventually, the call ended and we didn't speak for about a week.
In that time, I sent a short email apologizing for what I said on the phone about the "tweaky" stuff and saying that I wanted to set a new boundary where I could be allowed to exit a yelling match until we were both more calm.
I got a return email. It was 35 pages long. It went into extreme detail about all of these things that I've done in my life that were problematic for my friend. They brought up romantic relationships of mine from 10+ years ago and my fears of COVID during the pandemic. They brought up a lot of stuff about my money habits, even breaking down what they thought that I spent this past year and speculating (incorrectly) about how much money I have in the bank. Their main point with all of this was to show me what a mess I am even though I've been in therapy for 3 years and am currently in a good live-in relationship and no longer afraid of COVID.
I do admit to dumping a ton of drama on them over the years with relationships and also admit to being terrified of COVID pre-therapy. All that stuff was problematic for them. But I've worked hard on myself with two therapists the past few years and I'm in a much better place. Also we've talked about all of that and I've apologized. It's not the first time that they brought it all up, which is why I started therapy in the first place. I thought that we were past all of this stuff and none of it was related to our actual fight this week.
Side note on the money stuff that they brought up: I've loaned them thousands of dollars in the past and even recently they asked to borrow more money from me when they were laid off, but somehow are still taking me to task on my money habits?
Basically, it's incredibly painful, but I don't feel like I want to be friends with them anymore. I don't think it was cool to bring up all this stuff from my past (that I've worked on fixing) and throw it in my face just to seemingly try to hold a position of superiority over me in a fight that wasn't related to the issues that they brought up.
Also the keeping track of my money thing is weird and creepy to me.
I feel like I won't be able to tell them anything personal in the future if we do stay friends out of a fear of it being used against me at a later date. So to me, the trust feels like it has been broken.
Also, I've never sent a laundry list to someone in a fight, like is that even cool to do at all? It feels punitive like I'm being punished or something.

2024.05.14 00:47 wonkyOnion Before you buy a bundle double check it's content/motorbike bundle review
The primary purpose of X4 for me was mounting it on my motorbike as a 'dash cam'. I couldn't really find any yt reviews of motorbike bundle, but I think it was only natural to buy it in my case. Before I bought it I quickly scanned the contents of said bundle, however didn't put much attention what's there and oh boi, how furious I was when it actually arrived. So what I actually got:
Update: I just went on insta360 website to check how much the clamp on its own is and had a look at that motorbike bundle once again and saw that I actually should get the protectors as well, so they simply didn't send me them! Tomorrow I gonna message them about this and we will see what they gonna say as I did buy the camera good 3-4 weeks ago...

- Invisible stick. Sounds good, but at the time I was buying the camera that stick was included even without the bundle, so I guess I didn't really get it with the bundle, it just comes with camera.
- Motorbike clamp. This is the only item I'm happy with. It's all made out of metal and holds well to the handle bar even on triple digit speeds.
- This is when fun starts. I got some rubber condom that I can put over the camera when I'm not using it as the thing completely covers the lenses. I was more than sure I'll get the new lense protectors not some piece of rubber. You know, I bought motorbike bundle. I think it's only common sense to include something that will protect my camera while riding, not when it is in my pocket. I hope I won't offend anyone, but who the fuck needs it to begin with? I literally can't think of any valid scenario when would you want to put it on your camera especially that you are getting...
- The case. When I opened this one I literally felt like insta360 came to my house, put dick in my mouth, cum on my face, cleaned their dick on my t-shirt and told me that I'm free to leave. The case that I've got with my motorbike bundle can store the camera (so far so good) with the black condom on (is anyone really putting the rubber on camera, then put it in the case, then in protected backpack and then jumping into that inflatable ball allowing you to roll without hurting yourself?). Second pocket is dedicated for the stick, just not the one I got with the bundle! It's for some shorter and thicker version of it! Really!? Fortunately it gets even better, because there is 3rd hole and that hole is for... Fast charger for 3 batteries that I also didn't get in my motorbike bundle!!! What the actual fuck!? Who decided it's a great thing to include the case with a bundle that (except camera) has no items that can fit in said case!? What a marketing genius was it!?

2024.05.14 00:47 Randy_Giles1880 Second time husband has been caught cheating.
The first time, he was on tinder only put pictures with his body showing (he is in great shape) he was on tinder for a year and a half and only met up with one person on the side of the road, at night, going on a run. It took a year for me to ever be intimate with him again. Just recently, these past three months I have finally felt content and I was hopeful for our marriage. I told him I forgive him fully and never loved him more. We have been through a lot of traumatic things together and asked to never hurt me again.
An old friend of mine messaged me a few days ago, with a tinder profile of my husband. This time 7 photos of him fighting and shirtless and in his underwear showing his face. She matched him and she asked about me, he unmatched her. I confronted him he said. That we do not have enough sex and he wanted more and he was only 30% sure he was going to follow through with it and was only on it 4 days before getting caught. He did not try to cheat on me when we had no sex for a year. Suddenly I start having sex with him again and he said it made him want more. I just had a major surgery 4 months ago for a rare compression. I also have more health issues and another medical procedure coming up.
We have a young child together who is very clingy. My husband works 46-50 hour weeks. But we have gotten a lot of financial help from my father’s money who died 3 weeks before my son was born. So he isn’t the only one that contributes to our household. He even had to take my car because he didn’t want to pay to fix his. But still I am grateful and praise him for his hard work. When he gets home, I have eveything taken care of, dinner made so he can just relax for an hour and then we have to get ready for bed. Our child is about to start kindergarten, I told him it will be easier to have some time together then. I also have taught our son to read, write, add, subtract, and he knows his multiplications already before even going to school. I put a lot of my energy into our child. I quit drinking and smoking when I found out I was pregnant and never touched it again. I understand what it’s like to have an itch. I just never acted on mine.
Unfortunately, our sex life is not the greatest. Mostly it consists of oral and hand jobs at most 5 times a week. They are short lived as my son will ask for me. I’m still scared of penetration since he gave me an sti last time that spread to my reproductive organs. But I have had it. I feel like he would cheat regardless, but I still feel at fault. We had a long talk where I got him to stop saying if we had more he would not of looked to cheat, that it was about variety that’s what it was about last time. He also thought if he scratched the itch and actually had a good experience sleeping with other people that he would be able to stop thinking about it. I told him it would do the opposite as when he cheated the last time he had issues getting hard with me.
I feel like an idiot typing this out. He’s a good father. I don’t think I can ever trust him again. Divorce is not an option for me. He now agrees with me and says he is happy he got caught now because he would have made things worse. I can’t help feeling that some of it is my fault though. That I am not giving enough. I asked how much he would need then to not cheat and he said “every day, I don’t know.” And he said it has to be vaginal sex. He can’t even give me straight answers. I don’t think he could have sex everyday with his work schedule and a girl on tinder, but who knows. I don’t know what I’m asking after. Just if anyone can decipher this mess and give me some sort of advice on how to come to terms with this situation.

2024.05.14 00:46 Clay_Station Goodwill bedbugs. Still there?
I saw a post on here a while back with a picture of a bedbug at the east side Goodwill. Does anyone know if they’ve taken any measures to get rid of them? Any sightings recently?
I used to work at Goodwill (that same store before they moved,) and I know they don’t clean their clothes and I know it’s IMPOSSIBLE to keep bedbugs out given the nature of the business. I know that bedbugs have been increasing in numbers lately especially in our region so practices that used to keep you safe may not anymore. I always wash and dry any textiles that come into the house first thing. I cannot in good mind shop at a place with a confirmed sighting…
All that being said, I’m broke but I need new clothes and Goodwill used to be my secret weapon. Can anyone put my mind at ease and tell me they have at least attempted to deal with the problem?

2024.05.14 00:46 ElDelArbol15 Theme Search: Blow you away.
 | Air: the element of freedom submitted by ElDelArbol15 to DeathBattleMatchups [link] [comments] Hello there! we are back at it again! sorry ive been so late to post this one, but i had to do some things. I would like to remind you that now we allow up to three characters the dice feel light as a feather when i throw them, which is a clear sign of the theme of this week: we are going to talk about the masters of the wind, airbenders, aeromancers and common flyers. lets get to the rules: -Fly free like the wind: some of the characters im looking for can fly. flying is an important trait in those that have mastered the winds. if they are not fliers, gliders will do. there are many characters that can fly... but in this case im looking for characters that can only fly/glide as their characteristic (unless they also use the wind) -It all around us: Aeromancers are experts in using and controlling air, either by moving it arround to attack, making blades to cut with it or using it to move faster. maybe even creating tornadoes or taking the air out of someone. -Huff and Puff: While psychic powers are cool and all, nothing stops a character from pushing wind by using their lungs or their wings. as long as wind is the only thing they use, i will allow it. with some exceptions (feel free to convince me in the comments) I will post here, choosing the ones that you have chosen: if you have posted five, for example, i will post the four most upvoted, but if you posted twelve, it will be the eight most voted. this will change depending on the number os characters you propose (2 4 8 16 32 64 128...). you have until 20 of May on Seattle, 9:00PM (13 of May on Madrid, 17:00 Pm). Then i will post another theme search. see you soon! |
2024.05.14 00:46 Pollutionstuff My Girlfriend(26F) said she wanted space from me(23M). What do I do now?
Before i start the Backstory i should mention we've been together for 4 years(shes my first girlfriend) and we don't really hang out a lot, i maybe see her 3-6 times in a month if even that. It hasn't been like this for the entitreity of the relationship just this past year
Some backstory, Recently my dad passed and away and I've been melancholy about it and i don't really talk to my girlfriend about it primarily because she really hasn't asked about it, but i bring this up because in the time frame from then and now i have never mistreated her or self isolated or nothing. I've been both physically and emotionally available to her from then to know and Even Before.
My girlfriend when faced with tragedy in her life shuts her self down and this past year she's lost a lot of family members dear to her and I've tried to be there for her. When these deaths happened she would become very stand offish whenever we hanged out which is understandable everyone grieves in a different way. 2 Months ago she lost another family member and she shut her self down and wasnt really responding to my text and then after that month another close family member got put into psychiatric care for 4 days(they are fine now i think she really hasnt talked about it) and she kinda ghosted me my for a week.
After that we hanged out once in the Week before may and then the First week of may i picked her up and drove her to my place and not 40 minutes into her being there she wakes me up as Im half asleep(we always take naps with each other) and asks if i can take her home. I'm groggy and confused and I'm thinking that maybe another family member is in trouble or is hurt so i start to take her home and i ask her what happened and she said nothing i just dont feel like hanging out. I get a little upset and question her more about it like "is it me?", " did i do something wrong?" she reassures me no but then things start getting emotional between us and i just end up dropping her off. Later in the night she calls me a call to say shes sorry and we talk and she says "she needs a break" I asked her "a break from what?" she says "a break from everything" and i ask her "does that mean me?" she says yes but mentions some other stuff in her life.
The Entire Conversation feels like Im being broken up with and I point blank ask her if she's breaking up with me. Her. Response is "I dont know i just need a break from everything" and she then talks about how nothing in her life goes her way and that it sucks. I tried to to reassure her that everything is going to be alright. Its not the whole conversation just the gist. we both said some dumb things to each other which we apologized to each other the next day but she told me she just needed space.
And after that it had been a week and half I've been giving her space and she hasnt reached out to me at all but last Week i was checking up on her and it got heated again. I dont know what to do, starting Wednesday it will officially be 2 weeks since I have seen her. Besides that one communication on Thursday I haven't talked to her. I don't really know what to do. She said she need space but she only really sees me like once a week and she really doesn't communicate to me a lot anyways. I'm uncertain what to do it feels like I got broken up with but at the same time it feels like im expected to stick around. I've always held the belief that mental health doesnt excuse your actions but its different when its the person you love. I really dont know what to. How long do I give her Space for? is there even a time limit? Do I ask her if we are still in a relationship?

2024.05.14 00:46 Realistic_Pilot304 Anticipating another deferment, can I submit the required information before I get the deferment letter?
I recently underwent a psychiatric evaluation for mental health conditions. Everything seems fine except my psychiatric evaluator recommended to "undergo a Neurological Aerospace Medical and submit results within 30-60 days" to the FAA. The words are verbatim of what he put down on the evaluation.
This is due to me saying that I "procrastinate" which he said may be linked to a cognitive impairment, my guess he's insinuating I have some sort of ADD or ADHD-related thing going on which I never said of any prior history of such claims.
My question is can I gather my Neurological Aerospace evaluation and submit it to the FAA in anticipation that they'll send another deferment letter requesting such information anyway instead of having to wait another 3-4 months for that letter to get sent or am I just stuck waiting, knowing what's to come, and having to react then?

2024.05.14 00:45 birdfur104 A little long -- but please give your opinion!
First and foremost, this post is for both consumers and techs, but mostly for techs as I want to see your side of things! I just need some advice on what to do in this situation. Apologies as it may be a little long but your efforts are much appreciated!
So, I recently got a new heat pump installed. I recently posted here getting the opinions of a few, and made a decision on one (I will post the specs in a comment). The company that installed it is a new hvac vendor for me, as I've used a different company in the past, but switched because i liked the owner (who came out to give the estimate), and the prices a little more. I feel all of this is important to mention as part of the background story.
My dilemma with the new unit has been crazy. The new hvac company allowed me to do the uninstall and removal of the old unit, and the new setup in two separate appointments at my request, as i had some work I wanted to do in a tough to reach spot in my basement behind the unit. This is unrelated to the hvac issue, but i thought it was also important to mention that they worked with me on giving me two appts and it was very appreciated.
However, i will say i was not present for the uninstall or install but my father in law was(who is very familiar with this stuff). But, overall, the uninstall and removal went pretty flawlessly.
Here is where the actual issues start:
The install was a little messy. They left a little garbage here and there (and left some behind the unit which was just cleaned. Not a big deal but i wanted to mention). They really didn't give any info on the new thermostat, and all the manuals for it and both the ac and air handler was left in the basement. Again, not a big deal but left us with some questions.
They installed a new outlet for the condensate pump, but didn't ask about where to place it. They put it on the platform (that just holds the air handler but isn't actually fastened to anything) but so low to the ground im worried about it taking on water if it rains hard. i feel they should have cleared the location with me as its very close to normal water levels of this basement (its dirt and from 1890 and a 4 ft tall basement, it's hard to get any water control down here, but im trying).
they put the condensate pump on the ground. Idk if this is normal or not, and my last one was on the ground, but i was hoping they'd put it up higher for the same water issue.
Lastly, i feel like the overall presentation was a little sloppy. there was some open gaps in the vents as pictured, and they didn't even put the label on the outside unit? Idk.
So my question is, what should I do? Am I being too picky? I just feel like i spent a ton of money, and the finishing touches were pretty sloppy. I also have a year maintenance contract with them so i don't want to burn bridges, but i think i should give them feedback. What are the thoughts on this?

2024.05.14 00:44 JonnyHereHey Just brokeup with my bf of 9 months and he's unwilling to talk
So long story short, I've been unhappy for quite some time in this relationship. I've counted several lies that he's told me and just haven't felt the spark for several months now. Today, I texted him earlier saying "when you're home I'd like us to talk" to which he replied "of course, no problem". 6:00 pm comes rolling around and he's not home yet (I stupidly let him move in early into our relationship because of his apartment/rent situation). I tried calling him and he declined my call. I tried texting him and he hasn't responded to any of them. Then, I see he's online on Facebook with a new profile picture of just him, he put his status as single and deleted me. His mom deleted me and his family deleted me. We never even had a chance to talk to each other. I just wanted to let him know that I'm not feeling this relationship and that I do like him as a friend and he can stay and live here if he'd like, but that I don't want to be in the relationship anymore. I don't even want to talk about the lies I've caught so far or anything, I just wanted to have a civil conversation about this, but he's chosen to ignore me. He has stuff in my house and my house keys so I texted him saying "well let me know when I can have my house keys and when you're able to pickup your stuff" and now it' been silent.
Has anyone else dealt with this? We're both 34 years old and I've never experienced anyone doing anything like this before.
