Primarily based on the game but also open to other settings in the world. I want to experience stories of doomed and tragic romances that struggle to exist in this complex dystopia. Give me angst, give me murder, give me lives that cross each other once in the infinities of the cosmos. All characters and participants must be 21+, looking for literate to semi-lit, third person. Not replacing anyone!
A disclaimer: For the main romance lead, I can play femme trans men, non-binary leaning-femme, and cis women. For side characters I can play any gender. I am requesting someone to play a cis man. Nothing against any other type of pairing, I just have the most fun with this one. I like what I like.
Can play: Rogue Trader (Dogmatic, Iconoclast, or Heretical!), Cassia Orsellio, Psyker Imperial Diviner OC
Looking for:
Xavier Calcazar or another Lord Inquisitor.
Heinrix van Calox for either a political power couple with the Rogue Trader, or a mentor-type relationship with either psykers. Expecting dogmatic partnership, but open to conflict within the relationship! A forbidden romance between an Interrogator and a Heretic would be extremely interesting!
Marazhai Aezyrraesh for some fun cross-cultural exchange!
Calligos Winterscale for dealing with ennui and power.
Abelard Werserian for dealing with grief, change, and falling in love with the new Rogue Trader. Looking for chivalrous exchanges of tokens, loyalty as love, and guilt! Expect a lot of debate about what it means to be a leader.
Pasqal Haneumann for religious guilt, the dichotomy and tension between humanism and transhumanism, and teaching machine spirits the meaning of love. Expect general fanaticism.
Your Rogue Trader or Your Warhammer OC for intergalactic allyship!
About me: Thank you so much for reading! I'm El, 23. I've been roleplaying on and off for more than a decade now, and am looking for more partners to engage in a creative project! You can expect 4-7 lengthy posts from me per week, or even rapid-fire responses on holidays! I exclusively roleplay on Discord. If any of this interests you, feel free to send me a message through Chat or DM! I hope to see you soon.

To start off, english is not my native language, so sorry if there's any misspelling.
Since september, I have had some problemas with my boyfriend because of our friends, I felt really left out and they never invited me to anything. I felt pretty bad because I'm not studying right now so I can't make any friends to hang out while he's out, I tried to stay at home but I really felt bad because they didn't want me there. They did some type of things that would make me uncomfortable, like one of them leaving when they heard I was coming, smoking weed while I was there, going to abandoned places late at night where I didn't feel secure.
That was going on since September, Christmas was crazy because I couldn't even get to see my bf or even my friends (my bf and me are in the same friendgroup, and his ex is also in that friendgroup), so at march I decide to just talk to all of them. Friday 1 of March, I decide to try to talk to them, my boyfriend knows about this and that same day he gets mad with me, I didn't knew why but he talked to me in a way I felt uncomfortable. I asked him to talk face to face and everything calma down a bit, but he said something that I didn't understand: He said he "Couldn't handle commitment", but he said it in a way I didn't suspect that much.
At the end of that day, I couldn't talk to them because they smoked and I didn't felt confortable talking with someone in that state. My boyfriend and I stayed talking a bit and we said we could spend the next day together. Now, 2 of March, he again gets mad at me and I don't know why, he said to me somethings that really hurt me but I asked him again to talk it in person so we could talk it out. Now, when I thought the conversación had ended, he said he was thinking again of "her" as he used to do. My mind was blown, I started to cry and I couldn't touch him, I was in such shock I thought I was going to vomit and almost did. A lot of things happened, I was so frustated I kept asking him "Do you like her?" and he kept saying he didn't. Even my mom calles me, thinking I was calmed down, asking if we wanted hot chocolate, and even tho he knew how I was at that moment he acted so calm that it just made me more angry.
At the end, I just hugged him and cried with him, telling him it was normal and that it would pass, I didn't tell anybody, I only told my long distante friend because I really needed help. The rest of the day was horrifying, I just cried while he made me dinner, ate what my stomach could bare and kept making questions, to him and to myself, saying like "Is this my fault?", "Do you still love me?", "She's better than me at everything", "Is this going to work?", and everything I said to, he said what I wanted to hear.
3 of March. I woke up with a pressure in my chest I had never felt, I slept about 6 hours, and I just ignored everything that happened to keep me sane. I called my long distante friend to help me calm down, and textos my bf as per usual. He started to talk again as he did all those days, I just asked him to stop, he was talking in a way I could tell that he just wanted to break up. (Something I didn't clarify, I was so scared that this was going to happen, that while he was making me dinner I told him that is he left me he could make out with anyone at any time and that he could break up with me per text, just because I knew this could happen) So I just told him "So do you wanna break up with me?", at what of course, he said yes.
He kept messaging me saying "no no no no", "I didn't want to destroy you in that way", "I'm so sorry". He called me about three times, the first one I couldn't answer because I was carlinga my mom to tell her because I didn't knew how to react. While I was emailing my therapist for help, he texted me he was going to my house. I told my mom and my sister all that happened before he arrived so they knew what happened with his ex.
When he came, I didn't knew how to act, I kept asking him all this type of questions about me or her or us, things like if he cared about out relathionship, or when did he started to feel things about her again. He answered sincerely to everything, which I'm glad, but I think I shouldn't have asked so much. So that day we broke up, I didn't knew how to tell my friends so I tweeted it in my private account, I told everyone so they could understand that even tho I broke up with him, I still wanted to be in the friendgroup and that I needed their support at that moment.
The next week was horrible, I couldn't eat, my period was so late I thought I was pregnant and had to take a pregnancy test, everything was going really bad. I had two sesions with my therapist, but they didn't help as I thought they would. I kept textil him every three or four hours, I didn't knew in who to rely on at that momento. The 6 of March, he decided to tell her his feeling, in which she had the same reaction as me because we didn't espect it. The 8 of March I decided to meet with all my friendgroup without my bf, me and his ex talked until it was really late, and when I came home I saw some messages from him, I answered him and we talked about a lot of things, about how I thought he maybe had a psychotic break because a lot of his friends were affected because of this thing, and he finally said it, he said that he still loved me and I didn't knew how to react.
Since then I tried to keep it as friends, we met some days after that and we talked about it, he wanted to be really near me but I tried not to. I still try to be carefull with what I do and I'm scared that our friends get angry with us or even, if we get together again. It's May and he still wants to be with me, a lot of his friends are still angry with him and now with me because I forgave him. It's really long and I tried to make it as short as posible, but I really need someone to just hear how it is affecting me and help me out.
If something isn't clear or someone doesn't understand, I apreciate it that you comment it so I can clarify :)

My (21 F) roommate (22 F) is threatening to report me for harassment when I haven’t even been harassing her. She has broken multiple of my things and I texted her asking her to please be more careful with them and asked her to replace the items and she ignored the message. I messaged her again and she told me she doesn’t want to talk to me about it. I replied “that’s fine we don’t need to talk today but we need to talk at some point”
She came home with her mom and told me that if I contact her again she will call the police. I told her that’s ridiculous as we live together and can’t just not talk, and both her mom and her started screaming at me threatening to call the police and backed me into the corner in the kitchen. I asked her mom to leave as she isn’t involved and she screamed “I’m twice your age i know a lot more than you” and I told her that she has no rights here as she does not live here. It got pretty heated and my roommate then recorded herself saying “don’t speak to me again or I’ll report you to the police” and now apparently I’m not allowed to speak to her ever again or I’ll be reported.

[First] [Previous] [Next]
Minutes feel like entire hours while I wait for GalaxyTaco to return, and my anxiety is just mounting up like crazy! So instead of becoming a victim of my own fear, I decide to take a moment to explore the forum and see what I can find that's interesting!

The Sleeper section is by far the most active, with people commenting on their daily lives, talking about media, food and experiences in general. It’s so casual it almost makes me feel nostalgic for the good ol’ days!

I am… surprised. Mages watch anime too? I guess that makes sense, as magic is usually viewed as an intellectual endeavor, and it is not rare for intellectuals to have this sorta hobby.

“They even have an old timer section, for old timers like you.”

What? Old timer!? I am 21!

“Alright then, youngster. What anime is popular right now?”

Chlorine is pretty popular!

“That’s one of the Big Three and won’t stop being popular for a while, not to mention it’s all filler these days, that’s cheating.”

Alright then, big baby. How about Soul Devourer?

“That ended three years ago.”

What!? No it didn’t!

What about Ouran??

“Five years ago.”

Higurashi?

“Six.”

Lucky Channel?!

“Five.”

MEDUKA MEGUKA??

“Oh that one’s pretty new actually. That one was last year.”

Alright then smart guy, what is airing right now then!?

“Destiny/Zero, Girls and Tanks, Kitty Tale Black, Moon Brothers…”

What in the hell are any of those!?

“If you don’t know, I know even less! Idiot!”

I guess I am a bit of an old fashioned weeb.

“We are getting distracted. Remember what we are here for.”

Right! The Translation section! It’s rather unused, compared to the Sleeper side of it all. There are a few active translation topics but all of them seem to be focused on actual, current languages. Sure, there are a few in old Helenian and Latin but the others are surprisingly modern. Thereare some in Wohlian that immediately get my attention, but they seem like finished works.

Mostly directed by that ‘souseiseki’ bitch.

“Don’t waste time thinking of her. Focus on what you can learn from the books themselves!”

That is a good point. Once they are fully translated, the material is left available for anyone to take it! So I immediately go for the ones in Wohlian and Dobrand.

There are only five texts available, biographies all of them… except for what looks like a flier.

‘El Arte del Contrahechizo’ it read in Hesperian, ‘The Art of Counterspell’ in Dobrand. It apparently was an advertisement for a short lived ‘Combat Spell Course’ in Hesperia? Closed by the ‘Brotherhood’ for ‘breaking the sanctity of the secret’. Maybe this ‘Brotherhood’ is somewhat related to the cloaks.

Nevertheless, there is something in the flier that interests me: a Symbol!
Rune 6
I immediately start looking for it in the book… and what I find was overwhelming. This has to be the single most used symbol I’ve seen so far! It is in a lot of combined words, almost never on its own… but after keeping my eyes narrowed for a while, I find it.

Jo

As in “Hoh” or as in “Yo”? Bah, I guess I’ll find that out later, when I can actually start experimenting on my own.

Ah, damn it that’s right! I do need to go investigate the library! It’s huge too…

Hmm… What if I made a trip out of it?

The library closes at 12 for students, but if you stay inside you can spend the night working there! I could spend all night surrounded by books, coffee and the sandwiches some people sell there…

“That could mess with your sleeping schedule a bit…”

“Not to mention how useless the whole endeavor can be. What if you don’t find the damn golden symbol, huh?”

Won’t know if I try. This will be my last night staying up, I promise!

“Hmmmn… well, if you are sure about it.”

Yes!

Feeling energy surging through my body again, I immediately get up again and look for clothes, fishing for some cash and then trotting out of my room… only to be stopped by that Saints damned door again.

I swear, every time I see it’s worse. It becomes more and more ominous with each attempt to pass through it. I really, really have been going out too much these days, huh…?

“...I better talk with GalaxyTaco first, then I can go to the library.”

“Coward.”

“I can’t talk to them without the TER anyways.”

Walking back to the computer, I internally beg for GalaxyTaco to not have appeared on my contact list yet… but alas, fate is always working against me. There he is, right there. Well, at least I can solve this quickly and still get out in time… Maybe.

xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx has begun messaging GalaxyTaco to your rescue!
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: H-Hey!

I immediately cringe at myself for that written hesitation. Damn it, keep the emotions inside! Why must I be like this!?

xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: This is Tav, you know, from the forum? n.ñ
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: oh hey dude! nice, I was wondering who the hell was this lol
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: ok, now we can talk proper.
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: so… you just found the link somewhere, didn’t you?
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: unless I’m totally wrong and you were just referred by some cold mf

Alright. This is it… where do I go from here? I can’t exactly lie my way out of this without knowing much of the magical world. But that doesn’t mean I have to say all of the truth, right?

xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: …yeah u.u
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: I haven’t been Awake for a long time to be honest, and I found this link on a book I read at the local library.
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: ahhhh shit.
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: ok, that’s trouble
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: do you have a teacher?
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: No u.u
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: ok, you’re a bastard
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: not to imply anything about your family dude, that’s just how we call mages without teachers.
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: Ok that’s kinda mean xD
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: tell me about it.
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: anyways, shit, uh…
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: ok, do you know what an Elysium is?

I don’t. But can I just admit that? I mean… maybe I can tell him I know where to look for it?

“What are you, stupid!? He’s assuming you know jack shit! This is your chance to squeeze all the information! MILK IT!”

A-Ah! Right!

xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: No idea. I hope you don’t mean the other world? O.o
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: nope.
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: an Elysium is a safeground in a city, a place where mages can go and practice legally.
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: shit, I hope you haven’t been doing magic around people right???
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: No no! O.o I swear!
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: ok good.
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: that’d get you in trouble with the Brotherhood in no time.
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: The Brotherhood? o.o
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: The Brotherood of Black Pages.
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: Ominous… are they like, magic police? .-.
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: sorta
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: you wanna avoid them as much as you can, them black cloaks.
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: I mean, you won’t be able to avoid them if you wanna get your license but, beyond that, avoid them.

Ok, that’s confirmation of a few suspicions. The Elysium is a place, I need to find that place, and the black cloaks/brotherhood were bad news, probably super strict or something like that. I am a ‘Bastard Mage’, still not very happy about the name, and I should look for instruction before I blow myself up!

xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: Can’t you teach me things? ;w; the meaning of these runes and stuff?
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: sorry dude, I don’t have a teacher’s license
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: but tell you what. I’ll get you something that will help you for sure!
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: I just gotta talk to a few friends.
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: Oh okay! Good! n.n thank you so much for this, Gal
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: hah, it’s no problem
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: Imma be outside of the TER for a while so, don’t talk to me about magics until I return, okay?
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: arite, thanks for the heads up! gives me time to talk to Aoi and Mort
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: Ok I assume those are your friends!
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: I’ll be seeing you later!
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx has disconnected.

Alright.

No more excuses. I close my computer, take a deep breath and walk to my door. I try my best to ignore the shaking of my hand as I grab the knob and open up. The air in the hallways outside was cold, making me go back in, pick up my long coat and then right out I went again!

The descent in the elevator had never felt this slow…I am excited and nervous at the same time.

“This will be fun!”

“This will be a disaster. You’ll stay up for nothing, you hear me? Nothing.”

Taking a deep breath, I walk out of the elevator as it arrives at the first floor and wave at the night guard, stepping right out and checking my phone.

It’s already a quarter past eleven. I have time… but I may need to call a taxi.


Cities are completely different at night. I have never been an active resident of Party City or anything, but I have been in the streets at the high hours of night, at least back in my old town. I assumed stuff would be quiet here too in Saüle, but turns out I was completely wrong. There were people stumbling around the streets, ladies of the night smiling and parading themselves in some of the corners, a few college students clubbing and singing…

Only now I remember we are technically on vacation. Of course everyone is partying!

Drat, does that mean the library will be closed!?

“Too late to ask the cab to take you back home. No, you'll just have to freeze for a few hours.”

The taxi leaves me in front of the University’s main entrance. After paying and waving the guy away, I let out a deep sigh of relief when I see that the lights of the place are still on.

So either they leave the lights on all vacation or they are still open despite it all.

I try to jog along the dirt trail, straight for the library! But I quickly realize my body is simply not made for running. I still try to keep the pace, panting and gasping for air. Passing right by the Pharmaceutical Sciences building and the Biology building, feeling lucky that no one can see me fighting for my life like this.

The campus is gigantic, with many different buildings focused on the different sciences and disciplines taught at the University. The Library stands in the middle of it all, a perfectly square, five story building comfortably constructed on a plateau and looking over the entire campus. As cool and impressive as that is, it also meant a long climb a massive set of stairs…

“Saints damn it all…”

It’s a miserable jog, but eventually, I make it to the gates before the Librarian closes. An ancient lady of dark skin and thin white hair, eternally dressed in a black, long dress.

“Hmph. Right on time, night owl.” She says with a mix of annoyance and playfulness in her tone, turning her back on me as soon as she closed the door. “Do not run like that inside.”

Still recovering my breath, I just nod and walk towards the machines that scan your credentials. I fish my wallet out of my pockets, scan my old card, and then walk straight in, looking around the main hall with a tired smile. Ah yes… I've always felt more at ease in libraries and the like, especially when there are no crowds of people around. Right now I could see only a few furtive shadows sliding around, and no sandwich sellers at all! With some luck, the librarian will try to gain a few extra Empires by selling stuff, but that will have to wait.
Right now, we are back on the hunt for the Golden Symbol! I need to focus all of my strength on finding it this time, because if they really want it to be both private and easy to find, it has to be here.

1. Is this a brand new build, or an upgrade to an existing build?

Brand new

1. Please list any existing parts or monitor(s) you have that you would like to re-use with this build. For upgrades, a PCPartPicker list of your full build is extremely helpful. Be as specific as you can be here, including links or exact model numbers of each component whenever possible.

N/A

1. What will this PC be used for? Examples include things like gaming, general/multimedia use, photo/video editing, coding, AI/ML, etc. Include specific games and applications you intend to run, and any particular performance goals you have, as each may have different specific hardware needs.

Primarily single/multiplayer gaming (modded Minecraft, Star Citizen, GTA6 eventually). Also will be using this for studying game design so lots of coding and all that entails. Also would like to use it for music production (like Ableton). The prettier the games can look and run smoothly, the better! I would not be running several programs at the same time, I'm not much of a multi-tasker

1. What country will you be purchasing in? If you are in the US, do you live near a Micro Center? For other countries, please check if your country is supported by PCPartPicker by using the country selector dropdown on the top right - if not, please provide some links to reliable local vendors you are comfortable ordering from.

US, I live near a Micro Center

1. Do you need one or more monitors included in the budget? Please list how many and any size/resolution/refresh rate preferences if needed.

2 monitors, 24-28" works for me, not super picky as long as they look nice!

1. What is your preferred and maximum budget range for this build, in local currency? Parts lists may sometimes have additional shipping costs. Please note whether prices in your country include sales tax or not, and adjust your budget accordingly. Typically VAT countries will have it included in the part list prices, whereas regular sales tax countries like the US and Canada will not.

Preferred is $4-5k, max is $6k

1. Do you need WiFi, or do you have a wired ethernet connection available?

I'll need WiFi

1. Do you have any specific size or noise requirements for the build?

I'd prefer it not be too loud so it wouldn't interfere with music recording, but I can also work around the noise in other ways

1. Do you have any aesthetic preferences for color or lighting? Describe what you're looking for, or feel free to provide some links to examples that may help. Some people prefer an inobtrusive stealth build, while others may prefer a case full of rainbow RGB.

I prefer dark greens / browns / black, not a huge fan of RGB for my aesthetic

1. Any other specific requests or requirements? Examples might include a specific minimum amount of storage, or a particular CPU socket for a future upgrade path, etc.

Not sure if allowed, but any desk recommendations are welcome! Thanks!

What is GB WhatsApp & Its Other Detail

GBWhatsApp APK History & Why Should I Download It?

The Facebook company made all the basic files for WhatsApp Messenger available as open-source software in late 2016. Now anyone can use those codes to develop a messaging service that competes with WhatsApp. An Android developer from the Arab world named Atnfas_hoak, better known as Omar. Uses those codes to create a chat application that connects directly to WhatsApp’s native database. Although he created this mobile application for entertainment. But the interesting thing is that it provides more features than the initially released WhatsApp and that is why the number of people using this WhatsApp is increasing day by day.
After one year of use it has more than 100k users which indicates a substantial increase in popularity. Also if you are satisfied with the normal WhatsApp application and its built-in capabilities then you can skip the need of getting the GB WhatsApp APK. However if you also want to be persistent then you should download the latest GBWhatsApp APK version. So that you always get to see something new with every update.

• Even WhatsApp doesn’t currently enable you to send large files to just anyone. But GB WhatsApp allows you to do so. The maximum file transmission capacity on GBWhatsApp can reportedly increase to 2GB.
• The ability to completely alter the app’s design and theme.
• Integrated function to reduce the length of the WhatsApp document to save up memory

So that no one can bother you by sending messages again and again and you can do your work without any interruption.

I have an employee who really truly just needs to be let go due to emotional outbursts, unprofessionalism towards customers, consistent tardiness, taking extended lunches etc. She has become very disruptive in our small office environment to the point where I can’t even stand to be in my office anymore and pretty much avoid her at all costs. She doesn’t receive feedback without an emotional response and is just overall emotionally immature (she is 45yrs old).
The angel on my shoulder believes I should give her opportunity after opportunity, but it’s to the point where everyone in the office can’t bear to be around her. I don’t want to fire her and blindside her with this, but from a business standpoint, it’s the right thing to do. Give me your 2 cents! I will atatch the email I planned to send her today below.

Subject: Important Reminder: Phone Protocol, Time Management, and Professional Conduct
Hi ________
I wanted to address a few critical issues that need immediate attention and explain the importance of these matters.

1. Phone Protocol: It is essential that your phone ringer remains on at all times and is never muted. As stated in your job description, you are responsible for handling all incoming calls regarding scheduling. With caller ID, it should be clear who is calling, especially if you've contacted them previously and left messages. I've noticed that -—-, ——-, and ——- frequently have to answer your calls and transfer them to you, which disrupts their workflow and efficiency. Moreover, it is imperative that you answer promptly when ——-, ——-, and ——— call you. They are extremely busy, and it is not acceptable for them to have to contact me to reach you or to leave their desks to find you because you are not answering your phone. Consistent phone availability is crucial to maintaining seamless communication and ensuring our operations run smoothly.
   
2. Time Management: Starting immediately, you are required to clock in and out on ADP when you arrive at the office in the morning, when you take lunch, and when you leave for the day. While I have been somewhat lenient with minor tardiness, it has become a consistent and daily issue. Additionally, there have been instances where you’ve left early for appointments and did not make up the time as promised. Being punctual and accountable for your time is essential for maintaining fairness and productivity within the team. Clocking in and out will provide a clear record of your working hours and help ensure that your salaried position is justified by the hours you are contributing weekly. This accountability is crucial for our overall productivity and fairness to all employees.
   
3. Customer Service: It is imperative to treat our customers with the utmost respect and kindness. Our customers are the backbone of our business, and their satisfaction is critical to our success. If a customer is upset, it is important to de-escalate the situation rather than becoming combative or defensive. Effective and empathetic communication can turn a negative experience into a positive one, fostering customer loyalty and enhancing our reputation. Handling difficult situations with professionalism and a calm demeanor reflects positively on our entire team and the company as a whole.
   
4. Professional Conduct with Co-Workers: It is also essential to treat your co-workers with kindness and professionalism, especially when tagging people on ————. While there are often highly stressful situations, and it is okay to vent about these periodically among each other, it is unacceptable to act on these emotions in a disruptive manner. In your position, it is crucial that others feel comfortable approaching you regarding job-related matters. Displaying unprofessional behavior, such as being confrontational or overly critical, is not acceptable. Maintaining a respectful and supportive work environment is key to our collective success and fosters a positive, productive atmosphere.
   

If there is anything you need help with, such as clocking in and out or ensuring your phone ringer is turned up, please do not hesitate to reach out. I am here to support and assist you to ensure these processes are smooth and effective.
I would also like to see an action plan from you on how these issues will be addressed and the timeline by which they will be resolved. Please submit this plan to me by Friday 5/17.
Please address these issues immediately to ensure smooth operations and maintain our professional standards. Your cooperation and commitment to these areas are vital for the success of our team and the satisfaction of our customers.
Thank you for your attention to these matters.
Best regards, —————-

This is what I posted on the board game community in Korea, and I'm also translating and posting it on Reddit!
The translation and text inspection took a long time, but I'm posting it because I think croquinol gamers from other countries will enjoy reading it.
(I don't know how to put pictures in between when writing on Reddit. If you're curious about pictures while reading, please visit the link below. You may not understand Korean, but pictures are visual information so they can be understood universally)
https://boardlife.co.kbbs_detail.php?tb=community_post&bbs_num=26766
Not long ago in early May, I ran a croquinol booth for students and parents at a Children's Day event (it was held on the grounds of the University of Education)
The head of the school affairs department suggested, "I heard you like board games, do you want to run a booth?" so I thought very hard. Actually, it was bothersome.
In the end, I accepted because I wanted to make good memories with children as well as selling croquinol. At first, I thought it was easy to take a few croquinols and play a few rounds.
It wasn't long before I realized that the idea was very wrong. This is because there were so many things to consider operating the booth. The program should be organized in consideration of the number of users and the number of people visiting.
The arrangement of objects and the movement of people should also be considered. I shouldn't think, 'I'm done explaining the game to the students in moderation and watching them play.'
I have to think about the details. I thought about it until the day of operation and right before it started. Now that it's been decided so far, I'll have to recruit staff to run it together (this was the most difficult problem)
Finally, find out the products to give to the visiting children and purchase them, purchase notices to be installed in the booth, and other things necessary to proceed or make them
For two weeks, I spent a lot of time and energy thinking about and preparing for how to operate the booth. I thought a lot about what to give as the prize, but it was finally decided to go down
(1) Pokémon Key Chain Pokémon is definitely a successful IP!!
I decided it right away because it looked so pretty and the quality looked good. There were some that were really cheap, but the quality was really... It was a pity, so I put in more budget
(2) ritter sport chocolate It's economical because there are 200 in a pack I tried one to see if it's poisonous What????? This chocolate tastes pretty good...
(3) Crockinol Pencil (Steadler + Engrave) Originally, I didn't want to give pencils, but if I imprint them and give them to students, I thought they could remember croquinol for quite some time, so I made it meaningful.
If you look closely at the pencil, you can see the image of a disc bouncing with a finger. (○ ● ☜) I made it using the basic characters on the keyboard. Haha.)
It took a long time to think of the word 'dream tree' in the engraved phrase. (Offered words: rookie, genius, child, master, king, god, etc.) Since there are no other people to help me, I planned and produced a lot of things by myself.... lol
I recruited the operating personnel as follows
Head of the school affairs department -> Recruit me (one-person planner and business manager): Let's compare and analyze croquinol sales and rest at home and then experience it. Decided
Me-> First cast (S teacher): A versatile teacher who has been in the next class since we met in the 6th grade this year He became interested after being introduced to Crockinol by me. Enjoying Crockinol at home with his wife. Canadian style. (He said he was doing it without giving it away.) After receiving a proposal from me, "I'll do all the preparations, so please come and let the children know the games without any burden," he decided to participate after much consideration. I'm playing with my kids in the classroom, and my croquinol skills are increasing rapidly. I'm planning to promote the entire 6th grade croquinol competition later.
Second cast (Teacher C): My younger brother who met as a manager and a staff member at my last school and became very close. The same person who said in an old article that he helped move the classroom!
Together, we played about 400 rounds of croquinol 1:1 match. He made a lot of mistakes in his early days, but after hundreds of editions, he became enlightened at some point. He has become quite a master.
His powerful shots made a lot of crazy scenes. Among them, he sent five discs of his opponent to a ditch at the same time. When he was asked by me to help him, he accepted without hesitation. (He is expected to participate in the next event.)
Third cast (Teacher K): I am a teacher from another region, and I am close to him because I got to know him in a club. She was the last to be recruited, and she suggested liter port chocolate and keychain among the product ideas. Pencils were also highly recommended when I was thinking about it.
Lastly, he volunteered after seeing me thinking about recruiting one more person.
She's the only teacher who doesn't have a croquinol, and she doesn't usually have a chance to train, so she's still a beginner's skill.
Rather, a person who is expected to revitalize the booth operation because of that. (If teachers do too well, all students lose.) For the record, she has a board gamer gene that can also play Arcnova board games.
※ In addition, there is a sad history of rejection and subtly falling over during the recruitment process.
And I started setting it up on the day!! Visit early with teacher C and install one croquinol on three tables in the tent
At first, I was worried because the table was in the shape of a rectangle, but I could put things here and there. If you put the croquinol at an angle on the table, it was possible to conduct a 2:2 team, so there was no problem.
After I finished setting up, I sat down for a bit and tried a croquinol test. Played without any problems. The shot was even better because I told them to cut their nails, including myself.
However, there was a lot of dust on the tables and chairs provided by the company, so I hurriedly cleaned them. The remaining two operators also narrowly joined, and a total of four people were matched.
After that, I had time to start operating the booth as a whole They're here...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The name of the booth was 'Gather up here if you're confident in flicking', but I think I drew some aggro. Other places looked healthy like making animal bracelets, but our booth was like, "You! Come if you're confident!"
The booth was originally planned like this Planning the rules of the game: - If you feel uncomfortable, you can stand and shoot freely - In the case of 1:1, the original use of the 1/4 shooting line based on North America and Canada, rather than the use of the 1/2 shooting line that changed the rules in Korean company Korea Board Games. - A student who is too young is forced to shoot with a line forward. Two places are experience seats and listen to and experience the rules 1:1 or 2:2 (Parents and friends can participate together) - The experience gift is one litre pot chocolate - Rule Description -> Shot Practice -> consists of a two-game friendly
If you have learned the rules through the experience, go to the challenge seat of one place and challenge 1:1 or 2:2 (you can also participate together) - If you win, you'll get a Pokémon keychain, even if you lose, you'll get a 1/3 chance of a keychain and a 2/3 chance of a pencil through a lottery - Using one chance card, we will proceed with two sets, and if the student draws or wins even one set, it will be considered a victory. - Re-challenge possible when you line up again The booth gradually gathered and filled the corner, and the line got longer
I repeated the explanation and game so wildly!
The first episode : Even though it was in the shade of the tent, the temperature was high, so the chocolate melted. The student said it melted, so I touched it and it was liquid! Unfortunately, we can't give these defective products to students, so we decided to go to the challenge seat without giving them away in the experience seat.
The second episode : Our classmates are here! I heard a voice saying, "Teacher!" and I can see the 6th grade girls in my class
Of course, we played the game. I tried to lose, but I thought that if I lost too much, the student would notice, so I made mistakes from time to time, but these guys made more mistakes!
It ended with me winning or drawing (I should have made it more clear and lost... lol) I said, "This is just an experience seat, so it doesn't matter, show your real skills in the challenge seat," and sent the girl to another corner
The third episode : People were buzzing that a very famous politician visited the booth next door. (He was Korea's presidential candidate.) I looked up and saw the face that I saw on screen Although I was curious, I had my day job as a board gamer, so I welcomed students and focused on explaining the rules. Later, I found out that he talked to a student who experienced our booth and passed by
The 4th episode : The booth operators were not given a separate lunch break! It was announced that they would take turns eating lunch boxes. There were quite a few people... and I barely had time to eat. One person will be in charge of one booth, and one person will take turns eating I'm the type to eat slowly while tasting the taste, but I didn't have much time to relax on this day, so I sat on the stand and came back in a hurry that I couldn't even feel the taste
The fifth episode : There are so many people, and especially in the case of the challenge seat, the waiting line is longer, so to solve the bottleneck, we decided to take both the place and challenge as an experience seat It was the same with the booth I was in. I don't know what this day is... I made more mistakes than usual and often missed shots because I was nervous dealing with children. Hahaha
The 6th episode : The operations staff at the next table said, "A kid came up with a challenge and beat me." He got the prize, of course But after that, the student was still in the viewing room and gave advice to other participating children, saying, "I win all of them," showing a lot of confidence Then the child triumphantly challenged the management staff again! He must have wanted to win again. What was the result? According to him, he showed the dignity of an adult with his skills to children Of course, he gave away a croquinol pencil this time!!
The 7th episode : I explained the rules so much that the script was automatically made "This game is a 150-year-old game of Canada known to have started in 1876.... "In Canada, it's a daily sport that many families have and play throughout their lives, from childhood to grandmothers and grandparents. The rules are simple: if you put it in here, it's 20 points, this is 15 points....." I can't remember how many times I repeated the script above! The eighth episode : There are people who waited for an hour to listen to it while organizing it I've already experienced it and moved to the challenge seat, but the challenge seat lines are too long... Did they feel like they were waiting for a long line in the amusement park... ㅠㅠ Parents were tired of waiting, so they asked to go to another booth, but the child said, "Since I've experienced it, I really want to try it. I want to take a Pokémon keychain!" and waited a lot. It must have been very boring for parents, but there was no other way. I thought the quality of the operation would be very low to just experience/challenge one game at a time 2 play experience + 2 play challenge was the minimum number of plays to feel a little croquinol
The ninth episode : After eating, I heard parents and children talking "This is where we play Alkagi(flicking). Shall we play Alkagi?" "Let's do it!"
If you had written the booth title, "Who wants to play croquinol?" no one would know croquinol, so accessibility would have been low But when the title said "Alkkagi", I was proud of him coming in without any pressure
The 10th episode : The official closing time of the booth was 4 p.m At around 3:50 p.m., I took a breath and looked at other places, and some places had already withdrawn, and I was usually cleaning up, so the atmosphere was clear But our booth is still full It lasted beyond hours Is this the power of crocinol?
The 11th episode : Time has been deleted I was worried about what if time went by during that long time of operating the booth, but it was a mistake. We were so busy explaining and playing that we didn't have time to look at the clock, and when we came to our senses, it was a time when the end was imminent. I couldn't even go to the bathroom for five hours. Because it was hectic, the operation ended without a comparative analysis of 'Are many people visiting other booths? How popular is our booth?' (When I saw the photos and videos later, I could see that our booth was more crowded than other booths.)
The 12th episode : I tried a lot to react to it in my own way. I really complimented the kid every time he hit the disc. I exaggerated a little bit like I became a YouTuber and shouted a compliment chant out loud A young girl who looked like elementary 1 or 2 sat down (around 7-8 years old) I finished explaining the rules, and asked her to practice shooting a few times. After that, we started playing the game. The girl said she would do it first, and she took the first shot of her life's first game. It went straight into the center hole. There was applause from all around. I said, "Even I couldn't put it in at first. It's amazing." Congratulations on your best experience." She's made a lot of mistakes in play since then, but it doesn't matter at all! There's nothing more touching than the first shot of 20 The parents who were nearby filmed this scene and will cherish this meaningful moment for a long time
The 13th episode : There seemed to be something interesting to see other crocinol tables also clapping, wow, oh, oh From the perspective of planning, all these reactions are a gift
The 14th episode : There were a lot of spectators while explaining/playing There were a lot of comments about the rules of the game "You have to hit the disc when it's on the surface" "Oh!" A male parent was glad to hear that he knew croquinol "I knew this game since it came out last year. It was about 110 dollars, but I didn't buy it because it was expensive." (It's more expensive now. It's about $140)
The 15th episode : We allowed a re-challenge in the 'Beat the Teacher' section, caressing the hearts of children thirsty for crocinol Some students tried again 3 times (The challenge itself takes about 1 minute and 30 seconds for the first round, 3 minutes in total, so it doesn't take much.)
The 16th episode : After 4 p.m., I looked at the other booth thinking about when to organize it, and a boy who looked like a fourth grade in the challenge seat was doing very well Her parents were also amazed by it The accuracy of each step wasn't unusual He said he came back to try it out and do it again Looking at the game, he unfortunately lost to Teacher S by 5 points when he made a mistake of 2 turns in the second half Teacher S told the student. " Try it with that teacher. He's the best While sitting down, I asked, "Do you want me to do it with all my strength or not?" I laughed and asked At first, the student said, "Please be generous!" but later changed his words to "With full strength." "Haha, okay. I'll go with all my strength!" The student said he would attack first and tried an open shot and went straight into the center hole "Wow... does this make sense?" I also chased along the disc in the center hole. That's how I tried to hit my opponent's disc in Hogan's alley and accidentally wasted three turns. The result is that the student who leads by 15 points wins... The child liked it very much and came home with a light step with his parents "Thank you for your hard work. Bye!" When I looked at the playground with the back of my family leaving after saying hello, the sun was slowly heading down, scattering light everywhere and giving the lawn a cozy view What could be a more peaceful landscape. He must have felt really good on his way home. I thought he lost well
Finish writing : When I was in college, I ran a different kind of booth when I was the president of a club, but it was the first time I ran it this way in relation to board games.
At that time, there were a lot of club members and the space was very spacious, so the event was held comfortably, but the croquinol booth was operated in a very minimal condition: 1 tent, 3 tables, 3 croquinols, and 4 people in operation
Still, it ended successfully as it exceeded the time without an accident, so considering that it is the first operation under this condition, it should be considered a great success.
The operation of this croquinol booth was planned by myself and prepared for the program, so I have a lot of attachment.
I'm grateful to the three people who ran it together (they were dispatched from each elementary school publicly and privately). As expected, people are the most important.
I'm willing to do it again if I have to participate in the booth event another month this year or if I have to run it again next year. I think we can do it in a better way than now
For example, I dream of running a mini-contest by installing more tables. There's a mini trophy, and I think the kid who got it will really like it. (Of course we need a lot more people than we do now...!)

Heidi, we love you! I'm sure you read all the texts to you. I'm just catching up on the ones that went up after I went to sleep. Yes, most of us have had similar regrettable events in our lives.
For the record, let me repeat this paragraph we looked at yesterday:

When we selflessly dedicate ourselves to spreading the Mystic Law, the negative functions residing in our beings and lurking in the dark depths of society are driven out of hiding. We purposely call them forth so that we can conquer them, and in the process make our inner Buddhahood shine all the brighter.

I think the conditions at schools today are far more difficult than when I was a student 10-15 years ago. It seems that you found a very exceptional school where you've met wonderful students and teachers. But yesterday you saw the negative functions "lurking in the dark depths of society" as well as those residing in your own being.
Let me summarize what a lot of the Ladies texted. You are a disciple of Ikeda Sensei. Let's look at what happened through this lens starting with the personal side. You are an artist, a rocker no less. Temper? Hard Edge? Make a scene? Bend rules? Deal with consequences? Don't give a damn? Obnoxious? Sorry, it comes with the territory.
Looking backwards to almost four summers ago to when we first met, I still remember a girl who kept on changing stories (AKA "lying"?) about her age, who called out the creeping sexualization of young people, and who was able to stand and sing on a stage in front of many people without the slightest bit of inhibition. There are positive and negative qualities to your personality!
And now you are in the stage of "purposely call them forth so that we can conquer them." As far as those negative functions "lurking in the dark depths of society," you called your Dean "Kiefer Sutherland on steroids." As you read from many of us, when you go back to school you have a choice. You can collect high-fives from your friends for speaking back to Mr. Sutherland and continue a feud with him for two more years. But I think as Sensei's disciple you need to chant for the wisdom to turn Mr. Sutherland into an ally. That's infinitely harder to do! Come on Ms. Rocker, you can do it!
You should give Guy a call. He tells us there are plenty of Mr. Sutherlands in schools. He's finishing up his coursework to become a school leader and has been studying all the stresses on schools and school people these days. He says that once you can understand this, you will immediately feel some compassion for Mr. Sutherland.
Back to Ikeda Sensei's lecture. Sensei gives us some more insight into the hardships mentioned in this portion of The Orally Transmitted Teachings:

They also include various challenges, difficulties and sufferings resulting from karma, which together fall into the category of the “three obstacles and four devils.” When we as disciples remember the Daishonin’s words that “the wise will rejoice” in encountering difficulties (see “The Three Obstacles and Four Devils,” WND-1, 637), and emulate our mentors in striving with the conviction that obstacles are a springboard to enlightenment, we will advance unerringly to attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime.

So, Ladies, let's be inspired by our Heidi's spunkiness. And, as a mother, when the Twinettes show their spunkiness (uhmm, every 5 minutes!), I have to think twice before I tamp it down. Maybe they will need to have a big reserve of this quality on tap when they meet their Mr. or Ms. Sutherland.
Have a great day!

Reading the article it does seem like the school dropped the ball, BUT It reads like a stuff that happens daily in our classrooms with a student who "can't keep their hands to themselves" and nothing happens to them to stop it. This is not unfamiliar to any of us in the classroom- the real question is what's going to happen now? Whether this happened because of weak discipline policies at the school or because of a student having legal protections against removing them from the gen ed classroom, I can't help but wonder how many times school districts can get sued for something like this before something changes.
"BOILING SPRINGS, S.C. (WSPA) – Two mothers have filed lawsuits against an Upstate school district alleging their children were sexually assaulted in the classroom.
The lawsuits were filed on June 6, 2022, against Spartanburg County School District Two.
The lawsuit alleged that two students were sexually assaulted by another classmate while in the computer lab at Shoally Creek Elementary School on November 5, 2021.
One of the parents emailed the then-principal, guidance counselor, and teacher stating that the two students were sexually assaulted.
The teacher replied that the children did inform her that a student could not keep his hands to himself, but that she had no idea he had touched them in private parts.
The lawsuits state that the principal and the guidance counselor did not respond.
It also stated that the teacher went out on maternity leave on February 2, 2022.
A substitute teacher took over the classroom on February 3, 2022.
On February 8, 2022, the same student and another student held a pencil near their crotches and stroked the pencil in a sexually suggestive manner while looking at the children.
The next day the parents had a phone conference meeting with the principal. She informed the parents that “she would take appropriate action to end the sexual assaults and disruptive behavior occurring in the classroom.”
On March 1, 2022, the lawsuit alleged that another student sexually assaulted one of the plaintiff’s children by grabbing his private parts on the playground.
The mother reported the incident to the substitute teacher.
After that incident, the child was assigned a seat next to or near three of the students who were accused of sexual assault.
Following the newly assigned seats, one of the students “consistently sexually assaulted” the child by grabbing his private parts.
Upon that information, the substitute teacher resigned on March 11, 2022.
The lawsuit stated that another substitute teacher took over the classroom on March 14, 2022.
On March 22, 2022, the mother found out that her child was seated at a table with those three students and emailed the principal asking that her child be seated away from them.
The principal responded with “Yes, done.”
On March 23, 2023, the child was taken to the doctor who recommended he stop attending Shoally Creek Elementary School.
After that information was released, the second substitute teacher resigned.
The Director of Education for Spartanburg County School District Two confirmed that some assaults were documented in the school’s system.
The mother asked that her son be moved to another school within the district.
The lawsuit said that the request was never accepted.
According to records, the principal resigned from her position at the end of the 2022-2023 school year.
The following statement is from the children’s attorneys: "I am proud to represent these boys and their mothers. District 2 and Shoally Creek administration knew that certain students were acting inappropriately and were a danger to other students, but they chose not to do anything about it. Kids should be safe when they are at school, and my clients were not." - Law Office of Tyler Rody
7NEWS reached out to Spartanburg County School District Two for a statement but has not received one.
The Law Office of Tyler Rody said they will be going to court in September.

What do you think is going to happen? District loses or settles the lawsuit and pays a lot of money and then...

I am really struggling to get OxygenOS 14 to behave anything like OxygenOS 10 on my old OnePlus7 Pro. Unfortunately it feels like with each succussive Android update I lose features, I don't gain features.
I have my Do Not Disturb settings set for 0 App exceptions and contacts set to favorites. I have all my Messages App notifications set to not allow notifications when do not disturb is on.
However, when I get a text message from a stared contact when DnD is enabled, my phone processes it as if DnD was not on at all. Notification tone, vibrate, etc.
How it used to work in OxygenOS10 was started contacts would be allowed to call, but everything else was muted. That is what I want.
I really hate bitching online about changes, but every time I made a major jump in Android it was a downgrade in functionality. I factory reset and went from OOS11 to OOS10 on my OnePlus7 because OO11 removed so many features I used daily. Unfortunately I was forced to replace my OnePlus7 and no I am paying for it. My 'smart phone' isn't smart anymore.

• DnD no longer has a setting to 'enable until next alarm'
• DnD no longer has an enable option to DnD for the next X hours.
• Notifications are not persistent on the lock screen anymore, one look and they're gone! (This is the dumbest feature of them all)
• Apparently DnD allows texts from started contacts now
• Cannot disable Google feed in home screen anymore
• Removed option for L2TP VPN
• The 'Shelf' us 100% useless without the ability to use custom widgets

What is OnePlus doing? It feels like they're coasting. They continue to remove useful features and add useless ones. It honestly feels like an Apple keynote where they spend 25 minutes talking about how they have revolutionized cellphones because you can now sort your contacts by last name or first name!

I have a problem. Lately I’ve been having blackouts. Time seems to escape me. I’d be having a normal day then suddenly.
Blackness
I wake up having skipped considerable hours. Not knowing why it happened nor what I did in my precious lost time. The weirdest part. I keep waking up with burns on my body, burns from cigarettes.
Even with these recent gaps in my timeline. I managed to live an uneventful life. I’d wake up, go to work. Get back. Drink a cola. Smoke. Lose time. Wake up in bed. Start over.
Things were fine until I turned on the news…
Latest victim of the Cigarette Killer has been found. The young man appears to have cigarette burns all over his body, with the main cause of death being the severance of the carotid artery.
My heart stopped. The Cigarette Killer? Is this how he kills them? He burns them then…
Am I under threat?
Whenever I lose time, I wake up with more burns than before. What the hell is happening?!
I decided to record myself. I set up a camera aimed right at me in my room. I wanted to know what happens when I black out. I sat in bed, drank my drink and lit a cigarette, and waited.
Blackness
I’m awake. I’m still in bed. That’s good right? I went over to check the footage on my computer.
It’s been deleted. What the fuck?
Amidst my confusion I turned to the news channel.
The Cigarette Killer strikes again. A young woman has been found dead inside an abandoned factory, with the killer’s signature burn marks covering her body
Oh my god. I recognize her. That’s my neighbor.
There’s a pain that’s hurting my shoulder. I took off my shirt and checked. It’s another cigarette burn.
This can’t be.
I locked all my doors and threw away the keys. I requested time off work. I got a pair of handcuffs and cuffed myself to the radiator. I swallowed the key that unlocks it.
There is no way I am leaving this fucking radiator. I had some food and a cola to to keep me energized, and a bucket to relieve myself in. I threw away my cigarettes as the thought of the killings terrified me.
Blackness
I’m up… But not… Where am I?
I looked around, I’m tied to a table. I can’t move. I scream for help. But nothing.
Smoke blew onto my face. A man greeted me, with a cigarette in his hand.
“Have you been losing time? Chuckles Did you think you were going crazy?”
“What is this? Who are you?”
“It’s me. I am the Cigarette Killer.”
“What?!”
“I drugged your drinks, I’ve been burning you slowly over time while you were out”
“So I’m not the kille-”
“No dumbass, hahahaha. I love that you thought so. But it’s time now. You ready?”
He burned one last cigarette on my forehead.
I felt a blade cut through my throat.

Background: (jump down to "Current story" if you like to skip this, TD;LR in the end)
My heart is aching today as I realise I need to cut off one more sister from my life. I wrote about her and my little sister in my very first post when I joined Reddit last year, so this is a bit of an update, or a continuation, as this is about my relationship with my sisters. I had planned to write much more about them last fall, just to get this heavy heart ache off my chest, but then I realised there wasn't that much to say. A lot of it had healed already.
This is especially true to my eldest sister, Anna, who I never had a warm relationship with and who I have had a cordial, distant and very LC relationship for years. Most of the things she has done to me are forgotten, and it gives me peace. We call each other maybe once or twice a year to catch up and are civil to each other. She has four kids and I have a good relationship with the two eldest who I used to babysit when I was young. So I'm happy to keep these family bonds intact.
My youngest sister, Ella, I have had a similar relationship until last year, when she got a new job and stopped calling me all together. It wasn't a disaster as I had stopped caring for her already ten years ago (see my first post on my page to know why). I don't even get an urge to call her and tell her my latest news any more, which is great. The post I wrote on Reddit last year really helped me get closure and move on in this, and I've gone almost completely NC with her afterwards. She is only a member in our large family chat, but that's all.
I ditched family Christmas at her place last year and it was such a relief to realise I wasn't obliged to go there any more. I made one more phone call to her in January this year and realised during the call that this would be my last call I ever make to her. A relief again.
Now, my sister Bertha, who showed her true nature of being an ableist ten years ago, I've had a very turbulent and passionate relationship with all my life. We have fought, we have made up, we have loved each other and we have been there for each other in the darkest moments of our lives. Well, it used to be that way, until she couldn't handle me becoming severe in my ME 10 years ago.
But we did get past that (I forgave her and never talked about it again). Now I realise, it was stupid.
The current story:
I'm writing this because I need to go NC with Bertha now, and I need help to get there. I've been carrying the secret hurt of her ableism all these years in silence, because I somehow always thought that maybe if I try really hard she'll still love me, even though she can't stand my handicap. I know I’ve been a fool, but family relationships go really deep and there are so many layers of love and hurt in them, it takes time to untangle it all.
There is this yearning in me to be accepted and loved by her, that I wish I didn't have,and it makes me want to hear her voice once in a while, which is why I get the urge to call her about every 3–6 months. I, of course, don’t talk about my illness to her any more (I learned my lesson the hard way), but there are other aspects in life to talk about. So we did. I really wished we could maintain a good enough relationship as sisters, and I have been carrying that hope for years. Yeah, I’m a fool.
Now, this spring I have some exiting things happening to me and I wanted to tell it to those who I'm used to telling good things about. This includes my best friends, my brother, and it used to include Bertha. So I tried to call her. She didn't answer. I called again a few days later, she didn't answer. All I got was a text about how busy she is with her new dream career right now and can't take the call.
Yesterday I tried a third time in the evening. We talked last time in February, so I know it's not that long ago, but I really wanted to tell her my big news. So, when she did not answer I wrote a text message asking if I had done something to her because she doesn't call me back. (She has always called me back before. If not the same day, at least during the same week). She answered with a voice mail telling me about how busy she is rn with her career and won't have time to talk until June at the earliest.
Now, I actually talked to my brother last week, and he couldn't talk because he was out eating at a restaurant with Bertha and her hubby, and he called me back later that evening. So this was of course all lies. Anyone can put a 15 minute phone call in their schedule sometime during a week. But I digress.
I got the voice mail this morning as I woke up and realised I need to stop having a relationship with Bertha all together. I need to put her in the same box where Ella sits and have her as a member of our family chat only (where I never actually write anything, I'm just a passive member there). I just wish my heart wasn't breaking at the moment over it. I wish I didn't want to tell her about my news the same way I don't want to tell Ella, or even Anna. Now, please help me get there with Bertha. How can I stop loving her and stop wanting to call her to talk to her and hear her voice? I really can't go on being an afterthought in her life any longer. I need to form a strategy to follow so I can move on and forget about her, without my heart breaking over it.
TD;LR: My big sister Bertha has had me as an afterthought in her life ever since I got severely handicapped 10 years ago due to ME. I need to cut her out of my life to stop her from hurting me over and over again, but I still foolishly love her, so I need help going NC.

—— Feedback from a 90S Buddhist practitioner who shared her experiences with tears at the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door Website.
Gratitude to Namo Sakyamuni Buddha!
Gratitude to the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva!
Gratitude to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from ten directions and three periods of time!
Gratitude to the Dharma protectors!
Gratitude to the benefactor and benevolent father Master Jun Hong Lu!
Gratitude to my fellow Dharma practitioners!
I am very happy to share with you my path to learning Buddhism in a healthy state. I am a post-90s person, and I am also a devout Buddhist. Previously, I just believed in Buddhism, burned incense and worshiped the Buddha, but I did not know I should recite Buddhist scriptures. In my consciousness, reciting Buddhist scriptures is the business of a monk or nun. It was later when I became acquainted with Buddhism formally that I realized that monks, nuns, laymen monks, and laymen nuns can all recite Buddhist scriptures if they are willing to do so.
I came into contact with Buddhism in the summer of 2018, the year I gave birth to 2 children in a row. My physical state was particularly poor. I suffer from insomnia almost every night. I often got to bed around 10:00 p.m. and woke up around 1:00 a.m., and I was then unable to sleep. During the day, I had to take care of the children and do housework. I often felt physically exhausted.
One night, I remembered that my cousin transcribed Buddhist scriptures. I thought that it would be better for me to do so at home so that I would not be wasting sleepless hours. By transcribing Buddhist scriptures I could cultivate my mind and improve my handwriting. Then, I searched the Internet. They said that transcribing Buddhist scriptures disrespects the Bodhisattva, so I gave up this idea. Then I thought of reciting Buddhist scriptures. The several Buddhist scriptures I found online were not suitable for me.
It might be my affinity with Buddha is ripe, or it is the Bodhisattva's compassion for me. Not long after I saw an article online that said reciting Buddhist scriptures could change one's destiny. I just casually left a comment below:“Can reciting Buddhist scriptures really change destiny?”Back and forth in this way, I added that Buddhist practitioner to my friend list.
What impressed me the most was that practicing Buddhism and reciting Buddhist scriptures are free of charge, and there will be no fees. On the Internet, she shared with me a lot of Buddhist scripture information. Later, she mailed me the Dharma Gems. After receiving the Dharma Gems, I began reciting the Buddhist scriptures, and I kept doing so until my children started school. I became very busy after school started. I did not want to recite Buddhist scriptures anymore. I recited a few Little Houses but did not repay my karmic creditors. Perhaps that is why my karma was activated early.
In the winter, I found that I had a high frequency of headaches, and also suffered left migraines. The left side of the body was soft and numb, especially the left toes and the hand. I wondered if it was the same as my mother's disease. Until December, when my mother again went to the provincial capital hospital due to health problems, did I realize this was a genetic condition. Further, the probability of female inheritance is very high. Then, I searched the Internet for primary multiple sclerosis (MS) symptoms and compared them to my own physical condition. I broke down. I was 26 years old at the time, just entering the age of predestined 369 calamity.
I had just been married for 2 years. I didn't dare tell my husband because I was afraid the family would be broken up. Since I had 2 daughters, I was afraid they would inherit the disease. I didn't dare tell my parents either, for fear of causing psychological pressure on my mom. I bear it alone. My spirit was in a state of collapse every day.
One day, I suddenly remembered a cancer case that was cured by practicing Buddhism, which was shared in a WeChat moment. Why not MS? Again, I contacted the Buddhist practitioner who transformed me. I cried and told her what had happened to me. I asked her if reciting Buddhist scriptures could really heal me. I remembered that she replied to me very firmly, saying it would definitely cure me. That's how I returned to the path of reciting Buddhist scriptures. This time I was with hope and determination in practicing Buddhism. MS can't be cured medically, only managed. I have no way out. I want to change my destiny through Dharma.
Since then, I have frantically read the shared presentations and referred to those practitioners’cases. I want to see how to do merits and virtues by making vows and releasing lives. Once, I made a vow to the sky to release fish worth 1,000 CNY and recited a number of Little Houses. Right at that moment, the left side of my body became much lighter and less numb. I thought it was amazing. It gave me a little more confidence in reciting Buddhist scriptures. When I saw people sharing that vegetarian is good, I made a vow to be vegetarian 2 days a month, then 10 days a month, and then a full-time vegetarian.
My physical conditions were not always as good as I wanted them to be, sometimes good and sometimes bad. I often dream of the dead. Once I dreamed that I had caused a car full of people to fall into the river and die. When I woke up, I hurriedly made a vow to ascend them using the Little House. Master Lu enlightened us that everyone comes into this world with karmic obstacles. Only by constantly reciting Buddhist scriptures, performing merits and virtues and repaying debts can these karmic obstacles be dissolved. Therefore, I knew that my karmic obstacle is from my past life, and I either have to repay it with my body or with reciting Buddhist scriptures. I chose the latter, by reciting Buddhist scriptures to repent of my past sins. Thereafter, whenever I dreamed of the deceased, I would make a vow to recite the Little House for them.
I have also deeply repented gossiping behind people's backs, saying too many bad things about them, and doing too many things behind their backs. Due to unknown the cause and effect, I advised people to divorce. I have been obsessed with worldly love and watched too many romance novels and TV dramas, which has led to my blessings loss. I have taken advantage of small gains and committed very petty thefts. I have deeply repented to this now. I am willing to spend the rest of my life cultivating my behavior and mind! I will recite the Buddhist scriptures and recite Little Houses to pay off my karmic debts.
With time, my symptoms improved: from the 24-hour constant numbness in my hands and feet in 2018, to a little bit lighter in 2019, to 2020 when sometimes these symptoms disappeared for a period of time, to 2021 when the symptoms nearly disappeared but the feeling of recurrence still came back at times, and then to 2022 when I had almost forgotten about MS because the softness and numbness in my hands and feet had completely disappeared. It is only now that I dare to stand up bravely and say I am really cured. This is because I have been free of the MS symptoms for >1 year. I am really grateful to the Bodhisattva! Buddhist scriptures have created miracles for me.
Maybe readers will think I have not done diagnosis tests. How can I tell if I have MS? First of all, my physical symptoms are the same as my mom's. Secondly, this disease is divided into hereditary and non-hereditary forms. Unfortunately, my mom's is hereditary, and she has test results for it. Furthermore, I've googled too much information just hoping it's something else and my faulty senses. One article had a message conversation that caused me to fall into the abyss. That person had the same disease and had been diagnosed, and mine was exactly the same. Honestly, I couldn't go to the hospital for a checkup, because I really couldn't face this reality.
Even though I had already practiced Buddhism, any time I thought of having MS it literally broke me down. Sometimes I would wonder why my hands and feet were still numb and weak after reciting Buddhist scriptures for so long and releasing so many lives. Why is it still not healed? This type of thought made me collapse. After collapsing, I decided to continue practicing because of the fact that this disease cannot be cured medically. Reading Buddhist practitioners’ shared presentations is my only motivation. So many rare and intractable diseases were cured, I firmly believe that the Bodhisattva will save me, too. I don't think words can really express my inner world. My heart always experiences breaking down and healing itself over and over again; then breaking down again and healing itself again.
I am grateful to my cousin for accompanying me all the way and listening to me pour out my sufferings. I am also grateful to Buddhist practitioner Liren for always encouraging me and telling me that this is karma and that reciting the scriptures can eliminate karma. It is only by reciting Buddhist scriptures properly and persistently that I have become the person I am now.
I have changed the most in 2022. This year is also the year of the greatest vow power. After I studied Buddhism in Plain Terms, I understood many truths. Before 2022, I used to recite Buddhist scriptures without understanding why. My mind was not cultivated well, and my merits and virtues were leaked. Before 2022, I ate vegetarian food with five pungent spices. In 2022, I made a vow to be a full-time vegetarian without five pungent spices, be one of the hands and eyes of Guan Yin Bodhisattva to widely transform sentient beings, release 100,000 fish, and recite 1,200 Little Houses specifically for my MS.
As my Master taught, the greater the vow, the greater the merits and virtues, and the faster the karmic obstacles are cleared. Today, sitting here and reminiscing, I am fortunate. This is because I met the Dharma before my karmic obstacles fully flared up. As a result, I was able to pass a major calamity in my life.
I hope my sharing will bring hope to more new Buddhist practitioners! Studying Buddhism and reciting Buddhist scriptures is not superstition. It can really help us dissolve all the problems on earth.
My sharing has come to an end. If there is anything that is not rational or in line with the truth in the presentation, I'd like to seek forgiveness from Namo Sakyamuni Buddha, the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva, all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and Dharma protectors. I’d appreciate my fellow practitioners' critique and correction!
I, not my fellow practitioners, will be responsible for my own karma!

90后师兄含泪分享：医学无法治愈的多发性硬化症通过学佛念经彻底痊愈
——心灵法门网友反馈
2023-07-27
感恩南无释迦牟尼佛！
感恩南无大慈大悲救苦救难广大灵感观世音菩萨摩诃萨！
感恩十方三世一切诸佛菩萨！
感恩龙天护法菩萨！
感恩恩师慈父！
感恩师兄们！
很高兴能在身体健康的状态下和大家分享我的学佛之路。我是一名90后，我也是一名虔诚的佛教徒，只不过，我只是信佛，会烧香，会拜佛，却不会读经。在我的意识中，念经是出家师父的事。后面接触佛法才明白，只要愿意，在家出家都可以念经。
我是在2018年暑假的时候接触佛法，那年我是连着生完两个孩子，身体状态特别差，几乎每晚都失眠，经常10点左右睡，1点左右醒，然后就开始失眠。白天又要带孩子做家务，整个人经常觉得体力不支。
有次晚上无意想起表妹会抄经，我想着自己在家没事这样失眠浪费时间还不如也抄经，既可以修心也可以练练字。然后就上网搜索，网上说抄经对菩萨不尊敬，然后又打消了这个念头，又想着读经，结果网上搜索了几种经文，都觉得不适合自己。
也许是佛缘成熟，也许是菩萨慈悲我，没多久我在网上看见一篇文章说念经可以改变命运，我就随缘在下面留言说：念经，真的可以改变命运吗？这样一来二往，我加上了那位师兄。
印象最深的是，学佛念经都是免费的，不会有任何费用。在网上她给我分享了好多经文资料，后面也给我邮寄了法宝，我收到后就开始念经，坚持到孩子开学，孩子开学后每天很忙碌，就不想读经了，经文组合小房子读了几张，也没有烧送，就这样一直放着。也许是这个原因提前激活了业障。
到了冬季，我发现我头痛的频率高了，而且有些奇怪的还出现左偏头痛，还有身体左边有些发软、发麻，特别是左边的脚指头和左边的手，当时也有怀疑是不是和我妈妈的病一样，但也只是怀疑，不敢过多地想。直到12月，我妈又因为身体原因需要去省城住院，结果这次住院的经历让我发现，我妈这个病是遗传病，遗传女性的概率很大，然后我在网上搜索多发性硬化症的初级症状，再对照自己的身体状况。整个人都开始崩溃了，那年我是26周岁，正逢“三六九”关劫。
那会我也刚结婚两年，我不敢告诉我先生，我怕这个家会散，而且我生的是两个女儿，我也怕她们会遗传。我也不敢告诉爸妈，我怕给我妈造成心理压力。就这样一个人扛着，精神每天处于崩溃的状态。
回到家后，我就突然想起师兄朋友圈分享的癌症都能好，我又联系度我的师兄，哭着和她说了我的事，问她我念经真的能好吗，记得她非常坚定地回复我说一定能好。就这样，我又开始了念经的道路，只不过这次带着希望在读，更加坚定了一些，因为这个病在医学上无法解决，只有控制，我没有任何办法，想通过佛法来改变命运。
此后，我疯狂地看分享，参考大家的灵验分享，看大家如何许愿放生做功德。有次我对着天空许愿放生1000元的鱼，念诵多少张经文组合小房子。当时这个左边的身体发软发麻的状态就轻了许多，我当时觉得好神奇，也给我增加了一点念经的信心。此后，我看大家分享吃素好，我就许愿一个月两次，再一个月10天，再后面吃全素。
我许愿吃全素这个过程很短，因为我想早点让自己好。可事情总是不尽人意，时好时坏。在念经这段道路上，我也经常梦见亡人，有一次还梦见自己把一车的人弄得掉进河里死了，醒来后赶紧地许愿给他们读诵经文组合小房子。师父说过，每个人都是带着业障来到这个世界，只有通过不断地念经做功德还债才能化解这些业障。所以，我知道这是我前世的业障，要么用身体还，要么用经文还。我选择后者，用经文去忏悔我的过往。所以此后，只要梦见亡人，我都会许愿读经文组合小房子。
我也深深忏悔，我曾经背后乱嚼舌头，说了太多人家的坏话，做了太多背后阴人的事；曾经不明因果，劝人离婚；曾经迷恋世间的情爱，看了太多的爱情小说和电视剧，导致福报尽损；曾经爱占小便宜，做了很小偷小摸的事；我现在都深深地忏悔，愿意用我的余生好好地修心修行，好好地学佛念经念经文组合小房子还债。
经过我不断地读经消业，我的症状也有所改善，从2018年的24小时手脚持续发麻，到2019年的症状轻了一点，再到2020年有时这些症状会消失一段时间，再到2021年，症状可以说消失，但有时还是会复发的感觉，再到2022年，我几乎把这个病给忘记了，因为手脚那些发麻发软的感觉都消失了。直到现在，我才敢勇敢站出来说，我真的好了，因为我已经有一年多没有这些症状了。真的感恩菩萨！经文的灵验在我这里创造了奇迹。
也许大家会觉得我没有做任何检查，如何判定自己就是这个病呢？首先，是身体的症状和我妈妈的一样；其次，这个病分遗传和不遗传，很不巧，我妈的是遗传，这个是有检测报告的；再者，我上网搜了太多的资料，就希望是其他原因，是我的错感。尤其有一篇文章的留言对话，让我跌入深渊，对方也是这个病，已经确诊，而我的是一模一样，说实话，我真的没法去医院检查，我真的没法面对这个现实。
虽然我已经念经了，但一想到这个问题我真的每次都是崩溃。就这样我抱着念经的信念，坚持了一年，有一点点地改变，有时候也会怀疑，我已经读了这么久的经，我放生这么多了，为啥还是手脚发麻发软？为什么还是不见好转？崩溃之后依旧是继续，因为这个病真的医学上没法解决，看着师兄们的分享，是我唯一的动力。那么多的疑难杂症都能好，我坚信菩萨会救我的。我觉得文字真的无法来表达我的内心世界。内心总是反反复复地崩溃，自愈；再崩溃，再自愈。
这一路感谢我的表姐，一路的陪伴我，听着我倾诉苦水；也感谢丽人师兄，一直鼓励我，告诉我，这个就是业障，读经就能消业障，好好读，坚持读，才成就的现在的我。我在2022年变化最大，这年也是愿力最大，我学习《白话佛法》，明白了很多的道理，以前就是一味地读经，根本不明白，心没修好，功德有漏。我之前吃素都是吃带五辛的，2022年我许愿全素，许了做菩萨的千手千眼广度有缘人，许了余生放生10万条鱼，还针对这个病许愿1200张经文组合小房子，已经烧送了一部分。就像师父说的，愿力越大，功德越大，业障也消得快些。所以今天坐在这里回忆过往，我是幸运的，在业障还没全面爆发，我遇见佛法，让我化解了人生的一道大坎。也希望我的分享能给更多的新人带来希望的光！学佛念经不是迷信，是真的可以帮助我们化解人间所有问题。
我的分享结束了，分享中如有不如理不如法的地方，请南无释迦牟尼佛慈悲原谅，请南无大慈大悲观世音菩萨慈悲原谅，请十方三世一切诸佛菩萨和龙天护法菩萨慈悲原谅，请师兄们批评指正。我自己的业障自己背，不让师兄们背。
