2024.05.14 04:58 TruckComprehensive53 Thought I cured my stutter
Already posted this is shrooms but thought I would post here as well. This is very important: I DO NOT CONDONE THE USE OF SUBSTANCES this is for educational purposes only
A little backstory, I’m 19M and have stuttered all my life. I’m not a very self conscious person but stuttering is my kryptonite. When I say I stutter I don’t mean I trip up on words hear and there I mean nearly every word I say can take me anywhere from a second to 30 seconds if I’m really having a bad block. A good portion of my life revolves around my stuttering. It dictates anything from my major in college to even the food I eat. It makes me feel less than human and is stopping me from being the person I want to be, at least that’s what it feels like. Through the years I have naively taken substances when I was far too young to both experiment and suppress the anxieties caused/formed by my stutter. Some of the substances were prescribed like Xanax and adderall while others I took to recreationally like MDMA, MDA, shrooms, LSD, alcohol, weed and some other more niche compounds. Most of there were done at wayyy to young of an age and I wouldn’t doubt it some of these causes lasting side effects even the LSD and shrooms which are physically safe. I stopped taking those drugs besides weed and alcohol until this year. (Sorry for the long backstory started rambling)
Fast forward to now me and three of my friends went on a climbing road trip with the first destination on our trip being Zion. We planned to take a 1/8 of GT each besides for my one friend who was going to take 2.5 since it was his first time. We took them on an empty stomach and started walking to our pre planned spot. They start hitting and fast, I have a decent bit of experience taking shrooms and have taken up to 5g with a good bit of experience of taking around 1/8 but these hit me like a train. We settle down in our spot when my friend who’s first time it was doing shrooms takes off with no shoes on in Zion national park without saying a word. It took us a while to realize because prior to taking off he was chilling in a dead tree near by and thought he needed some alone time. Anyways the three of us that are left start getting worried and we don’t know what to do. My one friend starts looping, saying “where’s __” over and over again but unfortunately repeating his name doesn’t summon him. At this point we are stopping balls and have no clue what to do but wait and hope he returns. I tried to calm him down saying he will be fine but honestly I wasn’t sure but at the time we couldn’t come up with a plan to find him (we did go looking for him but we were looping so hard there was no chance). This caused a lot of subtle anxiety for the first part of our trip with my one friend ever minute or so saying “where’s __” still. Our lost friend eventually appears out of the brush looking like a 6” 3’ hobbit it was quite a sight. I was scaring thinking he was off having a horrible trip or got hurt but the first thing he says is I quote “I know everything” to which I laughed and though to myself I have had that thought before this kid is tripping balls. Anyways we were all very relived but he tried to leave again saying he was feeling better away from the group which I get we probably weren’t giving off the best vide at that point but we didn’t want to stress over losing his again so I decided to tag along. This is where the stuttering backstory comes in, sorry again for the long post I wasn’t expecting to give a full trip report but here we are.
I was sitting with him on a tree nearby when we started taking about what he had just experienced/ is experiencing. It was very broken English but he was saying how we are all one and exclaimed how beautiful the whole experience had been and started asking me question about my trip and past trips. We somehow got to the topic of anxiety and the cause of it. When I started thinking about it I started to have very basic but meaningful realizations about my anxiety surrounding my stutter. I started speaking to my friend and rarely stuttering and even when I did, I didn’t care one bit, the anxiety I usually feel in the back of my throat wasn’t there and I could speak for the first time in my life. The whole we are all one mind set along with the heavy ego dissolution made me not care about if I stuttered or not it was beautiful. I felt like I could talk to anyone and not have the weight of my stutter glooming over me. I realized they are just people and their judgment (if they even are judging because the assumption that they are judging me is egotistical in a way since I am assuming they care about me enough to judge) shouldn’t effect the way I carry out my life and stop me from being happy. I also thought I am the one causing this anxiety for myself and all of this worry is for nothing since why be shameful about something I can’t change. I would always try to tell myself these things in my day to day life but I never really felt it. When I was tripping I was able to feel these thought and look at them in a new perspective I have never been able to in the past. No amount of alcohol, Xanax, MDMA or any other drug for that matter could have shown me that. During the trip I though I had cured my stutting even telling me friend I think I won’t be stuttering any more after this. Unfortunately this wasn’t the case but now I know it’s possible to reach that point, I feel I should have done a better job integrating my trip but there is still time and I plan to work on it. Maybe I say fuck it and pull a Paul stamets instead ha no jk. Anyways that’s a long story long sorry it was so drawn out and all over the place this wasn’t even the full trip but some of the more important bits. Hope you got something out of this but it was more of a vent because as one would image verbally telling a story to someone feels impossible with a stutter so it feels good get it out somehow.

2024.05.14 04:57 jmkeep Is this a narcissistic parent response?
When I gave birth last year and my husband let all our family know, everyone congratulated us except my mom.
She was angry on the phone that she didn’t know I was giving birth, even though the day before I said I was going into the hospital the next day to likely give birth. The whole phone conversation was “Why didn’t tell me?!” I guess she wanted live updates?
My husband thought this was a very odd response to what should be a joyous occasion and thinks she may have narcissistic tendencies.
Other things that fit the narcissistic parent category was her lack of empathy and neglect when I was a kid - also she is very into conspiracy theories - if that says anything. In general, though she has always provided physically and shows her care through deeds instead of words/hugs. She always seemed kinda stressed to be a parent though.
Any thoughts??

2024.05.14 04:57 Certain-Ad-7578 Car Rental Business? Please help
So I’m renting from a really rich guy who owns multiple properties, multiple companies and pretty smart.
One of the ways he makes his money is by renting out a fleet of luxury/sports cars. He’s been doing this for years and makes a lot from it apparently.
From the little I know about this type of business, it requires having good clientele, knowledge of what cars rent well and which don’t, how to buy the cars, where to store them, how to maintain and service vehicles, how to handle insurance claims, etc.
Since I have extremely good credit, he wants me to be apart of it and says that it will pretty much be passive income as he will handle everything.
The car will be financed under my name but he will make all the payments and give me a share of profits earned.
The more cars I qualify for that rent out well the mire money i could potentially make.
From what I heard I could probably make about $1000 to $6000/mo profit or more.
I asked about the risks and he said they are very few. Even if someone crashes the car, he sets it up so insurance and his company covers everything.
I’m posting here because I want to know if anyone here is familiar with this type of business and has any advice or concerns I should bring up before pursuing this.
Should i get lawyers involved or contracts? If so, how?
How do i make sure i dont get screwed over?
Please any tips or words of wisdom would be much appreciated.

2024.05.14 04:57 Plenty-Blackberry764 I (17F) embarrassed myself in front of a guy (17M) i like
on mondays, im alone at lunch (high school) cause all my friends have band. i recently met one of my friend’s friend, a guy, on thursday, and we exchanged a few words when i was hanging out with my friend. all cool except i ended up getting some sort of crush on him. so i tell my friend, and my friend promised to ‘set us up’ on tuesday, cause she’s in band mondays.
so i was asking her today if i should approach him. i found out we have a mutual band we both like and i decided i’d use that as a way to start a conversation. so, 2 minutes before the bell, i walk into the class he sits in at lunch (he was alone so i considered it a good excuse to start a conversation) and i say hi. except, while i’m explaining why i approached him, i’m horribly stumbling over all my words and my heart is beating super quickly. im really bad with social interaction when it’s someone i don’t really know. so while i’m stumbling over my words, he literally raises an eyebrow at me, probbaly cause i look like i’m on something, cause it’s taking me forever to get my words out. finally, i say “so, i heard you like (insert band)?” and he just awkwardly says “yea” so i continue to talk about it like a madman and i look silly during this whole thing!! i ask him his favorite album and i ask him if he’s ever listened to my favorite song and when he said “no” i recommended he listen to it. afterwards, he asks what my name was and says nice meeting u and i practically run out cus im so embarassed over what just happened
like i said, im really bad at social interaction but i’m also bad at reading people’s emotions. so i’m not entirely sure if he was put off by the interaction, or if he was fine with it.
later my friend texts him about it and she told me by the way he described it, he deemed the interaction as ‘odd’ but he called me nice. which is fine i guess, but i’m just stuck on the ‘odd’ part, which is really turning me away from pursuing him any further. he didn’t outright state he thought i or it was odd, but he implied it, and i’m just so embarrassed by how i carried myself and his reaction that i might just stop altogether.
so i’m not sure if i should keep trying to pursue him with my friend helping me, or if i should just stop. i really don’t want to let me embarrassment or awkwardness get the better of me, but i don’t want to odd him out anymore if that makes sense . it makes me happy that he thinks i’m nice, but i’m also friends with the friend he was telling this to, so he could’ve just been putting it lightly?? idk
so i guess my question is, should i discard my embarrassment and continue or just accept that he is probably weirded out by the interaction and just lay off of it?? i know i seem like i’m possibly overreacting (i probably am) but i take embarrassment really badly
TLDR ; embarassed myself talking to my crush, feeling really unmotivated to try to continue talking to him, wondering if i should continue or give up to save myself future embarrassment / also because he didn’t seem very interested in the conversation

2024.05.14 04:56 sb512022 (tldr warning) I (20M) regret what i did to my gf (20F) how can i rebuild trust with her and show her i think differently and wont hurt her again?
so to clear things up before i say the story. i understand why this is all happening and i do regret it and i wish i could go back in time and just be a good person in general and treated her way better. every single day i live with this regret and it just pains me.
so me and her have been together for two years now and it really was all fun and romantic. it felt like we were meant for each other and it wasn't just lust. it was love. true deep love and i loved it so much. we fought a good amount but it was never relationship ending. we always overcame our disagreements and learned to apologize and recognize when one of us is wrong. but we had a big problem recently and it was very personal to her and i failed at being a decent human being and instead got mad and defensive and i let my emotion take over instead of understanding.
so one morning i woke up to a text from her saying she found two pictures of instagram girls in bikinis saved on my accounts folder from when i was in freshman year. she politely asked me to delete them. then i did tell her id delete them but i then proceeded to get upset as if this was a common thing to get mad at me about and i acted like it wasn't a big deal and i basically told her to get over it and that "it shouldn't be a whole day problem" without realizing how much those photos impacted her. i wasn't aware of those photos being there and instead of reassuring her and just being nice and deleted them i made a whole big deal about it and i regret it.
she's always told me she doesn't like the way she looks and that she accepted the fact that she looks "mid" and she isn't anyone's type of girl but she's told me before that i made her feel like she was my type and i made her feel pretty at times but that's all gone now. i really was into her and she's still so pretty to me and she kept getting prettier and prettier in every scenario i saw her.
i didn't even think in the moment on how it could affect her seeing those pictures saved on my account. she must have felt awful seeing that and it would make it seem like i had a type and i was attracted to those girls when in reality i didn't even know they existed and im not really attracted to women other than her. i know it sounds like bullshit but i just can't see women the same after being with her and she won't ever believe that. i understand now how she must've felt and how it must have shattered her self esteem and i couldn't even reassure her. and when we eventually talked about it like a day later, i STILL didn't understand how she felt and when i apologized i wrote the most wrong apology saying stuff like "i did nothing wrong" "get over it im sorry" literally no reassurance just anger and i hate myself for not realizing it in the moment. it wasn't until like a WEEK LATER that i realized how she felt and what i should've done.
our anniversary of two years was in like a week and after this bad apology and talk we basically took a break so she can have time to think. we still talked here and there but nothing romantically or about us. and we agreed that we'd try couples therapy one day so i set it all up and this is where i did the most stupidest awful decision ever.
i know it's frowned upon and stuff but my dad tried to raise me to be cold and not show emotion but in reality emotion is all i could show. i ended up being very needy and anxious and just needing her comfort at times.
the night before we were going to talk to the therapy lady. she was having a bad time and told me she didn't want to talk tonight or call. and without thinking i just started being needy and wanted her attention and kept texting her. then i did something so stupid and ruined what i loved the most. i don't know what my thought process was or how i thought it was a good idea but i got on a "second number app" that allows you to text from a whole different number and i texted HER number while she was feeling bad and in the text i acted like i was a coworker i had that was "looking for me" the coworker was a girl and of no importance to me but i used her name practically asking for "myself to catch up"
i wrote a paragraph for when i wanted to reveal myself and in it i tried to say that i did it because i wanted her to see that "i was always there" or that it always was just her and i and that she doesn't need to worry about anyone getting in between us because it was always her and i. that reason sounds like BS now i genuinely don't know what i was thinking. she says she knows that i did it just to make her jealous, but i don't feel like it was that way. i didn't mean to hurt her and i wish i saw how it could hurt her.
after coming clean about it like a few texts on there i sent the paragraph thinking we'd just laugh about it or something like the stupid delusional person i am. she didn't say anything in the first few seconds but i felt a sudden regret and i felt like i couldn't breathe because i suddenly realize how bad of a thing it was. i promised her i would lie to her and i tricked her with this. so i started panicking after sending it and saying stuff like "this was a bad thing wasn't it" and just panicking and apologizing so fast because i tricked her. i didn't even think about how she would be jealous about that coworker and i was stupid to not think that back then. she then didn't reply for a while and it sank in that i really did something so awful to her. so out of panic i got in my car and went to see a friend at 2 am because they worked night shift. and i talked to her about it and she agreed that it was stupid and i shouldn't have done it. i am so conflicted about this right now. i don't know if it was because i was needy or i just wanted her attention or im just plain stupid. i don't know now why i did it and i regret it deeply. she won't accept an apology thought because my reasoning doesn't make sense at all and i understand that now.
i felt sick to my stomach and later that night like an hour or so later she broke up with me. my whole world sank. i dented my car and went back to my friend to tell her and i just broke down for what i have done. and i've been paying for this with karma ever since this has happened. not even an hour later from this, i got fired from the job i was working at and i lost everything. i have this pain in my chest that hasn't gone away since that day and i've been having nonstop stomach problems and my relationship with my family is decreasing and they're resenting me and i even lost my dog i had for 7 years. so many things keep happening but i know it's because i have to pay and i understand that.
backstory on why this made such an impact: i grew up as a lie. i lied to my family i lied to my friends. i lied to be liked in school and i always tried to be something i am not. when i met her i tried to put these lies behind me and bury my past and what i was and i deleted alot of stuff and quit my porn addiction because i really wanted something with her. but she found out about my past one day and i lied to cover it up and these lies only came back and i ended up breaking her trust again and again to the point where she thought things that were never happening. i know im a liar and a bad person but i was never a cheater or unfaithful to her. i've always genuinely liked her and how she looked and i had everything i wanted. i didn't need to cheat or find other girls because i had one and she was all that i wanted. i even made it clear to here that the relationship wasn't about sex because if we ever stopped having it i'd still love her. but i couldn't be understanding and reassuring with her and i messed up so much and i made it seem like i was lying to her again even though i wasnt. and her last relationship was full of lies and she was manipulated and she regrets going back to him after the fact she knew how he was. and this is the scenario i am in right now. what we had was real love and it was beautiful but i messed it up and destroyed it badly. and she doesn't want to disappoint her past self by doing the same thing she did with her ex because she's afraid of getting hurt again. she can't trust me anymore. she doesn't believe that we could fix it again. she doesn't believe that i liked her and that i was attracted to her. she believes i was out there getting crushes and talking to other women and she believes i did it to make her jealous and that i have a type of girl i like and it's not her. she thinks i led her on this whole time but when i ask "then why am i still here" there's no answer because im not doing this out of pity or attachment. i truly loved her and how she looked. she doesn't believe attractions change and that people can change. she's so focused that we can't have what we had before because it's too different now. i just don't know what to do and im full of regret.
so sometime later i gave her her space and just rotted away in my room missing what i destroyed. one day something compelled me to go to the store and i saw her there. i went up to her and she wanted to talk so i agreed and we went to the park to talk. she tried to break up with me in person that day but couldn't and later that night she texted me that we'd break up in person rather than through text because we're adults. so some time later we kept seeing eachother a bit and talking. we even ended up going to the place i rented for our anniversary just out of a spontaneous decision because she felt a comfort in being around me even though it hurts her. that day we ended up doing a lot of stuff and being intimate with each other and acting like normal. the only words that came out while we were doing it were "i love you" from both of us and it was so passionate and real and it felt like what we had before. we acted normal after that and spent the night and watched movies and cuddled and just talked like nothing at all happened. we were smiling and cracking jokes and just having a good time. it was the same. i didn't want to take her home because i knew it would end though. and that it was all just a dream. and it did end. we decided to be on a break for now and we still talk and sometimes even have fun like we used to but nothing romantically yet. we even started making out the other day but then like a few days later she gets reminded of everything and doesn't talk to me again. and i get she's in her feeling and i understand what i did and that she deserves better but i want to be that better. i want to change for her and show her that i wont hurt her again. but she's afraid. she can't trust me anymore and she's afraid to try again because she loved me she genuinely loved me and she looks for me in the person i am now and she can't "find him" and she believes things will never be the same again and that it won't work but she can't leave because it's too painful. BUT i feel like it can be the same... all those moments we had they were like nothing happened. it's still there within us. our love is still there and i know it is but she's afraid of doing it again and disappointing her past self. like we've been calling and acting normal even though we keep thing the same thing and it keeps bothering us. i feel regret and pain and she feels the pain too because she loved me. i don't know what to do. i know the best for us is probably to just leave it and go our separate ways but i can't. i do love her still and i want to be better for her. for my family. a better person in general. i know i can be the better for her and i don't want to give up. and she doesn't want to give up because she loved me but she also doesn't want her emotions to get in the way of what she should do. i don't know. this is a just a big rant i don't know if its a good idea to post it or if anyone will read this far. i just miss her so much. i miss what we were. i miss how happy we were. this kind and good hearted girl loved me and has showed me so much. she was my first for a lot of things. and my first actual commitment to a relationship. she took my virginity aswell but those are not the reasons i want to stay with her. i want to stay because i love her. i really love her and it just begs the question "why did you do it?" and i don't know. it eats me up inside and i can't take it i DONT know and i wish i could take it all back. i want to start over. i want a time machine. i want her. she loved me and i destroyed what i loved the most. my life hasn't been the same since then and so many bad things keep happening to me but i know it's for a reason. how can i regain her trust? is that even possible? i dont know what to do. i know she needs time but will she ever see that i do want to change? that change is possible and i don't want to hurt her anymore? i regret it all. why couldn't i just be more understanding and reassuring and been good to her. how could i be so foolish. if i just kept my stupid thoughts quiet and kept my mouth shut we could've gone to therapy or something. i messed up really bad.
thank you for reading. i feel so lost

so me and her have been together for two years now and it really was all fun and romantic. it felt like we were meant for each other and it wasn't just lust. it was love. true deep love and i loved it so much. we fought a good amount but it was never relationship ending. we always overcame our disagreements and learned to apologize and recognize when one of us is wrong. but we had a big problem recently and it was very personal to her and i failed at being a decent human being and instead got mad and defensive and i let my emotion take over instead of understanding.
so one morning i woke up to a text from her saying she found two pictures of instagram girls in bikinis saved on my accounts folder from when i was in freshman year. she politely asked me to delete them. then i did tell her id delete them but i then proceeded to get upset as if this was a common thing to get mad at me about and i acted like it wasn't a big deal and i basically told her to get over it and that "it shouldn't be a whole day problem" without realizing how much those photos impacted her. i wasn't aware of those photos being there and instead of reassuring her and just being nice and deleted them i made a whole big deal about it and i regret it.
she's always told me she doesn't like the way she looks and that she accepted the fact that she looks "mid" and she isn't anyone's type of girl but she's told me before that i made her feel like she was my type and i made her feel pretty at times but that's all gone now. i really was into her and she's still so pretty to me and she kept getting prettier and prettier in every scenario i saw her.
i didn't even think in the moment on how it could affect her seeing those pictures saved on my account. she must have felt awful seeing that and it would make it seem like i had a type and i was attracted to those girls when in reality i didn't even know they existed and im not really attracted to women other than her. i know it sounds like bullshit but i just can't see women the same after being with her and she won't ever believe that. i understand now how she must've felt and how it must have shattered her self esteem and i couldn't even reassure her. and when we eventually talked about it like a day later, i STILL didn't understand how she felt and when i apologized i wrote the most wrong apology saying stuff like "i did nothing wrong" "get over it im sorry" literally no reassurance just anger and i hate myself for not realizing it in the moment. it wasn't until like a WEEK LATER that i realized how she felt and what i should've done.
our anniversary of two years was in like a week and after this bad apology and talk we basically took a break so she can have time to think. we still talked here and there but nothing romantically or about us. and we agreed that we'd try couples therapy one day so i set it all up and this is where i did the most stupidest awful decision ever.
i know it's frowned upon and stuff but my dad tried to raise me to be cold and not show emotion but in reality emotion is all i could show. i ended up being very needy and anxious and just needing her comfort at times.
the night before we were going to talk to the therapy lady. she was having a bad time and told me she didn't want to talk tonight or call. and without thinking i just started being needy and wanted her attention and kept texting her. then i did something so stupid and ruined what i loved the most. i don't know what my thought process was or how i thought it was a good idea but i got on a "second number app" that allows you to text from a whole different number and i texted HER number while she was feeling bad and in the text i acted like i was a coworker i had that was "looking for me" the coworker was a girl and of no importance to me but i used her name practically asking for "myself to catch up"
i wrote a paragraph for when i wanted to reveal myself and in it i tried to say that i did it because i wanted her to see that "i was always there" or that it always was just her and i and that she doesn't need to worry about anyone getting in between us because it was always her and i. that reason sounds like BS now i genuinely don't know what i was thinking. she says she knows that i did it just to make her jealous, but i don't feel like it was that way. i didn't mean to hurt her and i wish i saw how it could hurt her.
after coming clean about it like a few texts on there i sent the paragraph thinking we'd just laugh about it or something like the stupid delusional person i am. she didn't say anything in the first few seconds but i felt a sudden regret and i felt like i couldn't breathe because i suddenly realize how bad of a thing it was. i promised her i would lie to her and i tricked her with this. so i started panicking after sending it and saying stuff like "this was a bad thing wasn't it" and just panicking and apologizing so fast because i tricked her. i didn't even think about how she would be jealous about that coworker and i was stupid to not think that back then. she then didn't reply for a while and it sank in that i really did something so awful to her. so out of panic i got in my car and went to see a friend at 2 am because they worked night shift. and i talked to her about it and she agreed that it was stupid and i shouldn't have done it. i am so conflicted about this right now. i don't know if it was because i was needy or i just wanted her attention or im just plain stupid. i don't know now why i did it and i regret it deeply. she won't accept an apology thought because my reasoning doesn't make sense at all and i understand that now.
i felt sick to my stomach and later that night like an hour or so later she broke up with me. my whole world sank. i dented my car and went back to my friend to tell her and i just broke down for what i have done. and i've been paying for this with karma ever since this has happened. not even an hour later from this, i got fired from the job i was working at and i lost everything. i have this pain in my chest that hasn't gone away since that day and i've been having nonstop stomach problems and my relationship with my family is decreasing and they're resenting me and i even lost my dog i had for 7 years. so many things keep happening but i know it's because i have to pay and i understand that.
backstory on why this made such an impact: i grew up as a lie. i lied to my family i lied to my friends. i lied to be liked in school and i always tried to be something i am not. when i met her i tried to put these lies behind me and bury my past and what i was and i deleted alot of stuff and quit my porn addiction because i really wanted something with her. but she found out about my past one day and i lied to cover it up and these lies only came back and i ended up breaking her trust again and again to the point where she thought things that were never happening. i know im a liar and a bad person but i was never a cheater or unfaithful to her. i've always genuinely liked her and how she looked and i had everything i wanted. i didn't need to cheat or find other girls because i had one and she was all that i wanted. i even made it clear to here that the relationship wasn't about sex because if we ever stopped having it i'd still love her. but i couldn't be understanding and reassuring with her and i messed up so much and i made it seem like i was lying to her again even though i wasnt. and her last relationship was full of lies and she was manipulated and she regrets going back to him after the fact she knew how he was. and this is the scenario i am in right now. what we had was real love and it was beautiful but i messed it up and destroyed it badly. and she doesn't want to disappoint her past self by doing the same thing she did with her ex because she's afraid of getting hurt again. she can't trust me anymore. she doesn't believe that we could fix it again. she doesn't believe that i liked her and that i was attracted to her. she believes i was out there getting crushes and talking to other women and she believes i did it to make her jealous and that i have a type of girl i like and it's not her. she thinks i led her on this whole time but when i ask "then why am i still here" there's no answer because im not doing this out of pity or attachment. i truly loved her and how she looked. she doesn't believe attractions change and that people can change. she's so focused that we can't have what we had before because it's too different now. i just don't know what to do and im full of regret.

2024.05.14 04:56 baverage13 Encounter at 2 AM
Saturday night I drove up a mountain to some blm land in southwestern Oregon with my dog to see the northern lights (I had read somewhere they were supposed to happen for two nights) and found a great spot on a peak. As it got darker people started showing up and stopping at other sites I could see from mine. A few vehicles came up the small hill to where I was but turned around when they saw me. The night ended up being a bust, no lights in the sky other than the stars. Everyone around left eventually leaving just myself and my dog. I made dinner, set up my camera for some night lapse video and went to sleep for the night.
Around 2am I was awoken by vehicle driving up the hill to my campsite. I figured they would turn around and go to a different spot. Instead they parked 6 feet away from my car, got out and started walking around. My dog started growling and I asked if they needed something. His response was no and then I ask why, with all the other spots to go to l, he parked in my campsite. He immediately got angry and called me rude, told me he was being quiet, and that he paid taxes so he could use the campsite whenever he wanted.
I got out, grabbed my camera and chair as quickly as I could while trying to keep an eye on someone I could barely see. I wanted to argue with him, but I really didn’t want to get murdered. I just got back in my car and left and just drove home. I briefly considered pulling in to another spot along the logging road, but eventually just decided to go home.
My wife says I did the right thing by just leaving, but it’s been on my mind since then and it’s just keeping me in a bad mood.
What would you have done in that situation?

2024.05.14 04:56 Certain-Ad-7578 Car Rental Business? Please help
So I’m renting from a really rich guy who owns multiple properties, multiple companies and pretty smart.
One of the ways he makes his money is by renting out a fleet of luxury/sports cars. He’s been doing this for years and makes a lot from it apparently.
From the little I know about this type of business, it requires having good clientele, knowledge of what cars rent well and which don’t, how to buy the cars, where to store them, how to maintain and service vehicles, how to handle insurance claims, etc.
Since I have extremely good credit, he wants me to be apart of it and says that it will pretty much be passive income as he will handle everything.
The car will be financed under my name but he will make all the payments and give me a share of profits earned.
The more cars I qualify for that rent out well the mire money i could potentially make.
From what I heard I could probably make about $1000 to $6000/mo profit or more.
I asked about the risks and he said they are very few. Even if someone crashes the car, he sets it up so insurance and his company covers everything.
I’m posting here because I want to know if anyone here is familiar with this type of business and has any advice or concerns I should bring up before pursuing this.
Should i get lawyers involved or contracts? If so, how?
How do i make sure i dont get screwed over?
Please any tips or words of wisdom would be much appreciated.

2024.05.14 04:56 howhow326 Eve Stellar Blade is not sexy (and ranting about the Bayonetta allegations)
Before we start, allow me to lay all my cards onto the table: No, this is not me bashing Stellar Blade, just Eve's character (or lack there of). No, this is not going to be a "Culture War" fest or whatever, go find a Marvel movie to complain about. Yes, I am a Bayonetta stan. No, I did not play the game, but I've watched playthroughs and I'm not talking about gameplay anyway. Ok?
So Eve Stellar Blade is the new It girl that's been causing a stir with her "sexy" boobs and butt and it's all talk of the town and la de da. There's people saying she's a "fighting fuckdoll trope", there's men putting her on their anti woke pedstal and saying she's the chosen one that's going restore the world back to the good old days and kill the left like Sydney Sweetie's chest or whatever, and everything in between.
Well I, the local contrarian, have chosen the position to say she's barely sexy at all. Now, is she sexualized, are her developers pushing her into sex symbol status? Yes, that comes with the territory of her defult clothes being Ned Flanders Ski suit and her unlockable outfits including pin up girl cosplay. But is Eve Stellar Blade sexy? The answer is no and here's why:
1) We've seen this before
Oh boy, a woman in spandex so tight she almost looks like she's wearing nothing at all! There's only like 100 other female characters who do that!!
Eve Stellar Blade needs to fire her wardrobe manager because her design is boring AF, just the tried and true Si-Fi spandex that every other girl has worn before. Sad thing is, her unlockable outfits that give her a cute, baggy jacket make her one million times more appealing than the sexy outfit version of cardbord box that she's wearing.
2) She has zero personality
So the worst part of this whole culture war surrounding Eve Stellar Blade is I've been seeing people compare her to Bayonetta and like, first of all, keep the queen's name out your mouth. She's sleeping.
Second of all, forgive my tone but Bayonetta cannot be compared to any old raggedy trick. She is Bayonetta . Everything about her, from her clothes, to her hair, to her personality, to her name , it all demands you pay attention to her. Bayonetta is a stripper dominatrix witch with the personality to match. There has never been a leading lady in gaming like her before, and there most likely won't be another after her. No. Comparison. But even if there was a new girl that tried to take the queen's throne, it ain't Even Steven Blonde.
Quick question, type one quote, something iconic that came from Eve Stellar Blade's mouth. Cuz I can think of several from Bayonetta, byt I'll wait.
Back on track, Sexy is more than just your looks, it's how you carry yourself. You think the reason why all the girlies are thirsting after corpse man from Fallout is because they have a no nose fetish??? No!!! It's because that guy is charming and endlessly confident. Bayonetta is charming, endlessly confident, and the baddest bitch of every room she ever walked into.
What does Even Stellar Blade do, other than rely on her looks to secure anti wokers? I'll tell you what, nothing!! She has zero personality, zero charisma, zero prescence, her aesthetic is looking like an airbrushed Korean model in Spandex, and her greatest assets aretried and true gainaxing that's been in every game ever! Yall are comparing this girl to Bayonetta when Mother brought you disappearing clothes AND monstergirls? I'd ask you to raise your standards, but worshipping Even Steven requires you not have any anyway.

TL;DR
Eve Stellar Blade is a bitch and Bayonetta's son. She is also the J Lo of video game girls.2024.05.14 04:56 LordManning7 This car looks better every day
 | So I wanted a 21 STI but couldn’t do it. Then in 22 I could but the whole car changed and no STI, I didn’t want to buy used because of what we put these cars through (haha) but I certainly didn’t want this new ugly one with all the cladding and no STI. submitted by LordManning7 to wrx_vb [link] [comments] Then the 23 comes out and still no STI but the same looks… oddly enough I start to think the car doesn’t look so bad but I still don’t like it like I liked the 21. Then in the summer of 23 I’m reading more and more articles saying the STI will never come to America as a gas engine but the new engine in the WRX is built for tuners and can take a lot more abuse also “ supposedly” is no longer a bomb under the hood. Thats when I say screw it, it’s not the STI I wanted but by now the looks are starting to grow on me and I will just build my monster slowly overtime. So in July I order my WRX with every opinion I want on it. Of course shortly after I order it they release Subaru is making the TR version with the big brakes already on it. Thats ok though I can’t wait even longer and remain happy that my car is getting built. I received the car in October and can’t be happier. This car is so much fun to drive and some how I am beginning to really enjoy how the car looks. Fast-forward to May 2024, I catch myself turning around and looking at the car almost every time I walk away I haven’t done too much to it yet, but I’ve also been quite busy.

So I’m renting from a really rich guy who owns multiple properties, multiple companies and pretty smart.
One of the ways he makes his money is by renting out a fleet of luxury/sports cars. He’s been doing this for years and makes a lot from it apparently.
From the little I know about this type of business, it requires having good clientele, knowledge of what cars rent well and which don’t, how to buy the cars, where to store them, how to maintain and service vehicles, how to handle insurance claims, etc.
Since I have extremely good credit, he wants me to be apart of it and says that it will pretty much be passive income as he will handle everything.
The car will be financed under my name but he will make all the payments and give me a share of profits earned.
The more cars I qualify for that rent out well the mire money i could potentially make.
From what I heard I could probably make about $1000 to $6000/mo profit or more.
I asked about the risks and he said they are very few. Even if someone crashes the car, he sets it up so insurance and his company covers everything.
I’m posting here because I want to know if anyone here is familiar with this type of business and has any advice or concerns I should bring up before pursuing this.
Should i get lawyers involved or contracts? If so, how?
How do i make sure i dont get screwed over?
Please any tips or words of wisdom would be much appreciated.

2024.05.14 04:54 piccoloyo Does this game even exist?
Genuinely because I can't even put a rating on this game. It's that unplayable. The buffer system is actually a new revolution of humanity because I didn't even know those could be complained about but it's actually that shit. The whole input system does not work actually. C Stick is trash and Grab can do smash attacks because the devs are actually just that stupid for some reason. I guess they never thought they could always just make GRAB EQUAL GRAB and not shield + a. Input lag is off the charts. 6 frames in the base game was funny enough. 10 frames minimum online? Multi-billion dollar company. Top selling Nintendo game. 10 frames minimum. Go ahead and show past me in DBFZ a 10 frame delay connection. I am closing the application immediately.
Now let's get into the online. My favorite part. The part where you pay $60 for a game and $20 for online and aren't even allowed to get the shit you asked for. Thanks preferred rules! I really did pay $80 for a perforation! Thanks for not just keeping competitive and casual separate, while also literally making elite smash. Incentives people to act like bitches even more. Thanks, a lot! So let's add a goal for everybody to get to the top 10% of players online and allow items because everybody in the top 10% of players is really playing with items on! Items aren't even the worst parts. The game genuinely lets you play 3:00 matches. Everybody on the planet knows the devs did this shit on purpose. They want to help out camping non interacting players. It shows through the rest of the game and the fact they did everything but nerf Steve and Sonic. Of course, there's a dumbass error message too, just in case you wanted to get on and play the fucking game. There's a reason why there is no other game that does that dumbass error message and sends your ass back to 30 different menus and loading screen, just because you couldn't connect to someone in the queue.
Now here's the fantastic frame data of this game. No one has any end lag (except for Ganon because fuck Ganon as usual). Of course, after spending the entire decade trying to implement useless wastes of slots like Young Link, Pichu, and ZSS that no one ever asked for. I'm not even made they're in Ultimate. I just want to know why they thought these were ever good choices for characters. Melee, Brawl, and Ultimate would be better without you. Not only would we have more dev time to make the actual fucking game, we would also get to never see your ugly ass faces again! Can't wait to never see your asses next game. Atleast you Young Link and Pichu. Fuck you. Apparently Melee somehow took inspiration from Mario Kart 8 and just decided to add in fucking baby versions of characters for no reason at all. Just fuck off. I'm done talking about y'all.
More dog shit systems that don't work. You can clank from behind somehow. You can also clank jabs with f-smashes. Makes sense. Regular clanking was bad enough, but grab clanking is even worse. You may be asking me "what is grab clanking?" My answer is, I don't know! The shit does not exist at all. I have probably seen grabs clank 4 times in the past 6 years. It just does not ever happen. Training mode is just a fucking joke. Can't set DI after decades. The collision system also just does not work half the time.
World of Light. Entire point of the mode is to piss you off. That's it.
The last part (for now): DLC privilege. Yeah starting with Min-Min. You can edgeguard from mid stage and press 2 attacks the entire game. You also have a random ass reflector because we aren't allowed to zone you, and an up smash stronger than fox. Your grab also powers you up because you weren't carried enough apparently. Joker can pull out his dad to fight for him. He is already S tier without his dad but since he's DLC his dumbass needs arsene. He also needs that dumbass tether. Also that dumbass back air. Also the counter that hits across the planet. Also Tetrakarn helps his dad come out faster. He needs kill throws too. Sora is just safe no matter what and his counter stops time. Terry plays himself. He has auto turn around, auto combos, and dumbass buster wolf and power geyser. Aegis is just auto win neutral. Do whatever the fuck you want with your control and neutral is won. Way too fast, hitboxes too good. This bitch slows down time when she dodges to make sure she can punish you because she is free the character. Unmissable grab too. I really wanna know why these hentai characters were allowed in this kids game. Steve just takes zero skill in the slightest. Insta kill everyone once you get diamond and auto win neutral with blocks. Less than Aegis, but still an auto win. Anvil and minecart are some of the most braindead shit in the game. Up tilt combos into imagination. Back air does way too much. Steve can casually airdodge through his own TNT because carry required. Oh yeah, minecart is a command grab combo starter kill confirm recovery tool escape tool approach option kill move that goes across the entire stage and can be upgraded to be as fast as sonic with instant acceleration. Kazuya is just dlc privilege the character. This bitch has a move that stuns, the srongest reflector, 2 command grabs, a projectile across the stage, super armor on his smash attacks, 2 spikes, armored up b without free fall, auto turnaround, a kill throw, a comeback mechanic, invinciblility on half of his moveset, invincibility on him crouch walking, tough guy, and a TOD. I probably missed some but yeah. The only things this bitch doesn't have is a tether grab and energy absorption. About that stun move, EWGF, it combos into literally anything and is the only move in the game that will deadass make your shield glitch out and fly away. Not only does it combo into anything, but anything combos into it. This bitch is not even top 10 but somehow has the most privilege out of any character in the entire game. And don't think I forgot about base game privilege either because I still fucking hate easy ass ROB, G&W, Sonic, and Samus.
I cannot even rate this game. I'm convinced it does not exist. I can't even call it bad because not a single system in the game actually works for to even be able to play it. It is the prime example of quanity over quality. Every dev just forgot how to make basic things like a buffer system smaller than 8 years after 3 decades of making this game. I'm actually laughing at the end of making this post because this took so long to make and I stopped being mad after the first 3 sentences. But all this shit is still atleast kinda true

2024.05.14 04:54 Royal_Fig_9648 I bought and built the Action Base 8 (AB8). Feels good so far.
 | https://preview.redd.it/lbbssypr3b0d1.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c22b7b9f91b4c54268fa100c068439db158513f8 submitted by Royal_Fig_9648 to Gunpla [link] [comments] Also shown - the AB4 that I used previously. Nipper for additional size reference. Additional notes * The Action base comes with four nuts and 2.5mm bolts as the joints for the arms. To screw them tight, it also came with a couple of clear plastic four-faced hex key tools. * The instructions told me to screw each bolt until all four faces of one tool have been deformed, rinse and repeat. This means that the clear plastic would most likely deform without risking the joints being overly screwed. Though I guess nothing can't stop you from tightening it even further if you decide on the angle and want it to be rock solid. * AB8's arm peg fits snugly with the AB4/5's hexagonal base. Also true vice-versa. *AB8's base is quite long (about the length of two hexagonal bases linked together) and only has four arm sockets (instead of being riddled with them compared to the hex base. *I feel that the AB8's base is more stable. For example, when I placed the AB8's arm to the centre of the hex base and put my Strike on it, I could see it lift and lean partly. The same can be said with using both AB4's arms. *Unlike AB4/5, the AB8 kit lacks some of the "hands" that connect it to the model kit - namely, the box-like one that slides underneath the model kit's hips, as well as the claw-like one that simply grasps the model kit. This reduces its compatibility with older kits. *The AB8 can use the AB4/5's hands, mitigating the above point assuming you have spare hands. *Unlike AB4/5, the AB8's arms cannot be used separately, meaning that it can only support one kit. *The AB8 overall feels quite strong and sturdy, but only time can tell if it stay that way. I now have an intense urge to buy a chonky MG (most likely the Sazabi Ver Ka) and stress test it. *Despite its sturdiness, I can personally adjust its arms to angle the kit just the way I want it, significantly easier than fumbling around with AB4/5's system. Overall, the Action Base 8 feels like a great complement to the Action Base 4. AB8 can support MG kits and large 1/144 kits high up as well as being significantly easier to tune its pose. The AB4 can be split to lift two normal-sized 1/144 kits or support two MG-sized kits with standing poses, as well as having higher compatibility with older kits. |
2024.05.14 04:54 ShiroWorksVR I've been lurking for a while so I thought I'd like to introduce myself!
 | Hi, My name is Anzu. submitted by ShiroWorksVR to vtubers [link] [comments] I'm just a normal human with a normal life. I'm an Urban Explorer and Car Enthusiast who likes all things JDM. I've spent the past year and a half building my virtual garages that I'll use for my virtual car builds/live installation that I'm excited to show you all! As for the Urban Explorer part, I'll be exploring worlds on VrChat and try to make sense of things I see. I'll eventually do handcam streams of interesting parts that I have lying around the garage and more to that. I'm hoping to see if I can do a non-debut debut first stream some time before the end of this month. https://preview.redd.it/qf2vhmu0ya0d1.png?width=3840&format=png&auto=webp&s=df6f238bdf07e6830de4ba99830c76e92d465481 |
2024.05.14 04:53 g3thic [F4A] Genres and Fandoms!
Hello again! I’m not sure if you’ve seen my other posts about a fandom roleplay but this one is gonna be about any roleplay in general, fandoms included. This’ll be pretty detailed and I’ll let you know the parts if you want to skip ahead (I suggest you don’t). If you don’t wanna read all of this, then don’t. This was made for people willing to read blocks of paragraphs and maybe even respond with their own.
INTRODUCTION
My name is Hina. To know more about me, I hail from Japan and I have been an avid writer ever since I moved to the States when I was 11. My second language is English but I believe it’s been pretty good. I recently turned 22 years old and I'm female. Talking about age, I would be comfortable with you being 17+ and preferably at least 20. Roleplaying with minors isn’t a big thing for me, I apologize. I’m in the west coast, PST timezone. Let’s see.. What other information can I give you? I would say I enjoy skating, basketball, watching tv shows and anime, and reading. My favorite anime is Nana and Death Note.
GENRES + FANDOM
I am not looking for a specific roleplay. I would say i’m skilled in all genres. Sci-fi, fantasy, horror, apocalypse. All of that. Even slice of life, though that depends on what type of plot exactly. To be more specific on each genre, starting off with fantasy, I'm more used to high fantasy and mythology. I’m not that great with medieval, unfortunately. DnD based role plays aren’t really fit for me and I struggle playing with species like ogres. Just putting that out here. For fantasy, I don’t have any specific ideas.
Sci-fi is the genre I have more skill in. Most of my roleplays are based off of them! Specifically, I’m fine with all subgenres of that.
For other genres like horror and apocalypse, I do have some taste. I really like monsters and creepy things from the horror genre like vampires and all of that and I even have my own idea set up in older times dealing with vampire lords and hunters and all of that. I also enjoy eldritch type horror. I also like that one sun genre of it, like video game horror? I’m not sure how to describe it. I also forgot if it even has an official name or if it’s just something used to describe the horror genre. I like Resident Evil, so maybe that’ll tell you the type of horror I usually enjoy. I do have a developed idea of something more eldritch horror.
More on fandoms! To get some other things down, I usually only play OC unless the character you want me to play is one I know more about and I'm more comfortable playing. The fandoms I like in the more anime way are Jojo’s, Nana, Death Note, JJK, AOT, Haikyuu, and probably more. I’m well versed in the Jojo’s, Aot, and JJK fandoms but less knowledgeable on Death Note since i’ve only seen it once. Other fandoms i’m in include ATLA, TLOK, Harry Potter, Resident Evil, Marvel, DC, and many more.
CHARACTERS
I tend to use character sheets to describe my character, these usually consist of names, background, and personality. More so on appearances, I prefer using animated or drawn references than real life people. I enjoy good enough references where I get the idea of how the character would look like.
The types of characters I write are either the lone wolf type that has some sad past which leads them to want to join someone for a redemption arc or the bubbly character who is the one that brings the mood up and is usually seen as trustworthy and of that kind.
I like all types of tropes, especially enemies to lovers or rivalry. I also really enjoy opposites attract as a whole from either opposite personality or something else they would be opposites in. Enemies to lovers takes my heart, though. I love seeing the characters go past the urge to ultimately hate each other and/or go past their usual way of disliking the others lineage or upcoming.
REQUIREMENT
I think this is my last paragraph on the roleplay. It’s the most important, at least. Requirements. All roleplay searches come with them. Or at least that’s what I heard! But don’t fret, there isn’t much.
I’ve seen this as one of the most used requirements, and I agree with it. As someone who’s first language wasn’t English, I understand that you may not be great at it. But please, I do require a partner that at least has proper use of grammar and punctuation. You don’t even have to use big words or anything, just at least know where to put your periods and the placement of your words.
My second requirement is for you to be LITERATE! Please. I’m a big writer, I tend to ramble on and tend to write more than what I thought I would. (like i’m doing right now) I write multiple paragraphs from the starter until the scene relaxes. I also understand that sometimes writing big blocks of words every response is tiring or boring so I don’t expect it all the time, at least after the starter has been made and in more important scenes. Dialogue also cuts my replies shorter.
Please please please be polite in OOC! We may just be role playing together but kindness goes all ways. If we do include OOC, I enjoy talking about many things. My day, movies, games, funny moments and stories, all of that!
I think that’s the end to this wonderful journey of an ad about my search. I hope you are still here, fellow writer! I would LOVE it if you reached out to me! This wasn’t all for nothing, right!
But don’t leave yet! I do have a passcode. I know this was a jumble of words and rambling but I still have to put one in. I heard that there’s a lot of people on here that don’t read things fully and miss out on rules or information! But.. Just because you read through this all, I’ll gladly give you options on the passcode! Also please put in an introduction of yourself! Don’t think “Oh maybe I shouldn’t bother this person with too much to read”! I like seeing big blocks.
PASSCODE:
What’s your dream country to travel to and why?
OR
Who’s your favorite TV show / Cartoon / Game / Anime character?
Feel free to pick both! Now, that’s all from me. Please don’t put your request as just “Wanna rp”!

2024.05.14 04:53 MrScotchyScotch Terraform can't interpolate variables in variables unless they come from a file
So, I have this:
variable "bar" { default = "okay" } variable "foo" { default = <<-EOL Hey, this is ${var.bar} EOL }
But Terraform doesn't like that:
Error: Variables not allowed │ Variables may not be used here.
Terraform is philosophical: it doesn't like the idea of you interpolating variables in a default value, even if it easily could. For that it wants you to use locals. So, if you can interpolate variables in a default local... why not interpolate variables in a default variable? Because some engineer somewhere just decided "that's how it should be". And now I have a pain in the ass to work around.
So, hmm. How can I interpolate that other variable at runtime? Well... if there were a function that could interpolate variables, I could wrap the var wherever I wanted to use it.
So you find the template data source - that can take a string, interpolate it, and return it! ..... But that's deprecated, because Terraform is both philosophical and thrifty: they have the templatefile() function now, so they decided they don't want to spend any money to support the template data source too.
Does the templatefile() function work on strings? No, it only works on files. So you think, "ok, so i'll generate some file at runtime with my string and...", but not if you were thinking of the file_local provider. That can create a local file that you can read, but if it's not there yet (like when running from CI?) then it's going to show you it creating the file as a new resource, every time you plan/apply.
So here I am, trying to get the local-exec provisioner to generate a file (which will have to have a static host name, so god help me if this gets run on different environments without the current directory's contents being cleaned out first, or parallel runs at the same time) that I can then read, just to interpolate a god damn variable at runtime.
All of this started because I just wanted to create a DRY config using just .tfvars files without needing to load content from a template file. Hours of work, because Terraform wants to work very hard to keep useful functionality out of my hands. Just when I think I've seen all the crappiness Terraform has to offer, it surprises me yet again.

variable "bar" { default = "okay" } variable "foo" { default = <<-EOL Hey, this is ${var.bar} EOL }
But Terraform doesn't like that:
Error: Variables not allowed │ Variables may not be used here.
Terraform is philosophical: it doesn't like the idea of you interpolating variables in a default value, even if it easily could. For that it wants you to use locals. So, if you can interpolate variables in a default local... why not interpolate variables in a default variable? Because some engineer somewhere just decided "that's how it should be". And now I have a pain in the ass to work around.
So, hmm. How can I interpolate that other variable at runtime? Well... if there were a function that could interpolate variables, I could wrap the var wherever I wanted to use it.
So you find the template data source - that can take a string, interpolate it, and return it! ..... But that's deprecated, because Terraform is both philosophical and thrifty: they have the templatefile() function now, so they decided they don't want to spend any money to support the template data source too.
Does the templatefile() function work on strings? No, it only works on files. So you think, "ok, so i'll generate some file at runtime with my string and...", but not if you were thinking of the file_local provider. That can create a local file that you can read, but if it's not there yet (like when running from CI?) then it's going to show you it creating the file as a new resource, every time you plan/apply.

2024.05.14 04:53 ConsiderationCold771 “Limit to home directory”
 | Hey guys, so I was hoping to get a little bit of assistance on some thing. So for weeks now it’s been boggling my mind why I will download an app or anything really and only about a third of them actually work. submitted by ConsiderationCold771 to kde [link] [comments] This is also not inclusive to ones that I only download off of a. “Store” it can be ones that I did through the console or downloaded a zip in my own directory and try to utilize. The reason I’ve come to find out that I can’t use my own apps that I download. Even if I go through a managing app and try to change it it doesn’t do anything. Well, that’s because the root is stealing most of the app and putting it in this directory.: [Fedora/valib/flatpak/app] I’m sitting here losing my mind because like some of these are even for work that I can’t access. I even tried to utilize this command: “sudo chmod 755 (xxxxxxxxxx)” for a specified app for a specified app, not a directory folder, not a directory. The response the console had given me was cannot access said folder no such file or directory found. I looked at the specific folder that these are in and its shows this. |
2024.05.14 04:53 g3thic [F4A] Genres and Fandoms!
Hello again! I’m not sure if you’ve seen my other posts about a fandom roleplay but this one is gonna be about any roleplay in general, fandoms included. This’ll be pretty detailed and I’ll let you know the parts if you want to skip ahead (I suggest you don’t). If you don’t wanna read all of this, then don’t. This was made for people willing to read blocks of paragraphs and maybe even respond with their own.
INTRODUCTION
My name is Hina. To know more about me, I hail from Japan and I have been an avid writer ever since I moved to the States when I was 11. My second language is English but I believe it’s been pretty good. I recently turned 22 years old and I'm female. Talking about age, I would be comfortable with you being 17+ and preferably at least 20. Roleplaying with minors isn’t a big thing for me, I apologize. I’m in the west coast, PST timezone. Let’s see.. What other information can I give you? I would say I enjoy skating, basketball, watching tv shows and anime, and reading. My favorite anime is Nana and Death Note.
GENRES + FANDOM
I am not looking for a specific roleplay. I would say i’m skilled in all genres. Sci-fi, fantasy, horror, apocalypse. All of that. Even slice of life, though that depends on what type of plot exactly. To be more specific on each genre, starting off with fantasy, I'm more used to high fantasy and mythology. I’m not that great with medieval, unfortunately. DnD based role plays aren’t really fit for me and I struggle playing with species like ogres. Just putting that out here. For fantasy, I don’t have any specific ideas.
Sci-fi is the genre I have more skill in. Most of my roleplays are based off of them! Specifically, I’m fine with all subgenres of that.
For other genres like horror and apocalypse, I do have some taste. I really like monsters and creepy things from the horror genre like vampires and all of that and I even have my own idea set up in older times dealing with vampire lords and hunters and all of that. I also enjoy eldritch type horror. I also like that one sun genre of it, like video game horror? I’m not sure how to describe it. I also forgot if it even has an official name or if it’s just something used to describe the horror genre. I like Resident Evil, so maybe that’ll tell you the type of horror I usually enjoy. I do have a developed idea of something more eldritch horror.
More on fandoms! To get some other things down, I usually only play OC unless the character you want me to play is one I know more about and I'm more comfortable playing. The fandoms I like in the more anime way are Jojo’s, Nana, Death Note, JJK, AOT, Haikyuu, and probably more. I’m well versed in the Jojo’s, Aot, and JJK fandoms but less knowledgeable on Death Note since i’ve only seen it once. Other fandoms i’m in include ATLA, TLOK, Harry Potter, Resident Evil, Marvel, DC, and many more.
CHARACTERS
I tend to use character sheets to describe my character, these usually consist of names, background, and personality. More so on appearances, I prefer using animated or drawn references than real life people. I enjoy good enough references where I get the idea of how the character would look like.
The types of characters I write are either the lone wolf type that has some sad past which leads them to want to join someone for a redemption arc or the bubbly character who is the one that brings the mood up and is usually seen as trustworthy and of that kind.
I like all types of tropes, especially enemies to lovers or rivalry. I also really enjoy opposites attract as a whole from either opposite personality or something else they would be opposites in. Enemies to lovers takes my heart, though. I love seeing the characters go past the urge to ultimately hate each other and/or go past their usual way of disliking the others lineage or upcoming.
REQUIREMENT
I think this is my last paragraph on the roleplay. It’s the most important, at least. Requirements. All roleplay searches come with them. Or at least that’s what I heard! But don’t fret, there isn’t much.
I’ve seen this as one of the most used requirements, and I agree with it. As someone who’s first language wasn’t English, I understand that you may not be great at it. But please, I do require a partner that at least has proper use of grammar and punctuation. You don’t even have to use big words or anything, just at least know where to put your periods and the placement of your words.
My second requirement is for you to be LITERATE! Please. I’m a big writer, I tend to ramble on and tend to write more than what I thought I would. (like i’m doing right now) I write multiple paragraphs from the starter until the scene relaxes. I also understand that sometimes writing big blocks of words every response is tiring or boring so I don’t expect it all the time, at least after the starter has been made and in more important scenes. Dialogue also cuts my replies shorter.
Please please please be polite in OOC! We may just be role playing together but kindness goes all ways. If we do include OOC, I enjoy talking about many things. My day, movies, games, funny moments and stories, all of that!
I think that’s the end to this wonderful journey of an ad about my search. I hope you are still here, fellow writer! I would LOVE it if you reached out to me! This wasn’t all for nothing, right!
But don’t leave yet! I do have a passcode. I know this was a jumble of words and rambling but I still have to put one in. I heard that there’s a lot of people on here that don’t read things fully and miss out on rules or information! But.. Just because you read through this all, I’ll gladly give you options on the passcode! Also please put in an introduction of yourself! Don’t think “Oh maybe I shouldn’t bother this person with too much to read”! I like seeing big blocks.
PASSCODE:
What’s your dream country to travel to and why?
OR
Who’s your favorite TV show / Cartoon / Game / Anime character?
Feel free to pick both! Now, that’s all from me. Please don’t put your request as just “Wanna rp”!

I don’t know. I wanted to post here. I’m going to school for a job where nothing is guaranteed in the field I’m studying. Jobs are more so on a job to job basis and steady jobs are few and far between. My parents have been supportive of me up to this point but I don’t think they fully understand that job to job opportunities are how the field is. I understand this and am willing to take a risk, but I don’t think they are as confident. I’m going into my senior year. I’ve had zero internships or barely any jobs related to this (freelance stuff once or twice a year). I’m focusing on my own things, but no money is being made now. Part of this is on me for not giving 110% (writing letters to alumni, friending people on LinkedIn) and only applying via websites. I’ve asked professors for opportunities and all of their options rejected me.
As well, I quit my day job. I thought about accepting an unpaid gig, but it would have been a two hour commute one way. I told the day job I accepted the position. The window is still open for me to do it, but it would require me to move somewhere for the summer where the only free housing would be a two hour commute. As I’ve stated before, I’m working on my own things. I am in 90% control of the outcome of one and 60% of the other. Both could help me a lot if they turn out successful. I’m working on finding another wage slave job at the moment too, but all interviews have seemed unfruitful. Maybe it’s bad interviewing on my end? I seem confident when I interview, so maybe it’s because I’m a student? Even if I find a job, it would be less time spent on my personal projects.
Speaking of which, I try to do things for fun. I don’t really socialize too much with people. Most of the people I like have left the area for summer. The people where I grew up and I have grown in different ways (for the most part) and I don’t enjoy being with them too much anymore. It is a once in a blue moon thing. Where I live now, I have acquaintances but rarely hang out. Part of this lack of socialization stems from being a weird kid and also thinking everyone is judging me. I tend to zone out a lot so I maybe staring off at nothing and then realize I’m staring at someone. Trying to make conversation is weird because I don’t know what to talk about other than projects/work/school. I don’t like hearing about drama unless it affects what I’m doing. I don’t have anything going on in my life that’s worth more than a few sentences, so I have nothing to talk about. Even though, again, I’m not social, there still is a part of me that wishes I was doing these things with someone.
My free time is spent going on drives to nowhere (unfortunately my favorite leisure activity) which kills mileage on my car and eats up gas. The person I used to go on random adventures with is a year or two older and I think he’s reached the point where he can no longer do these things. I will be at that point soon because I will have student loans to pay off.
Even having a love life is hard because what I go to school for, personal and work lives are mixed. Acting on these feelings can lead to awkward work relationships and missed opportunities. You have to think about the long game.
Anyway, this has been on my mind for sometime and would love advice as to what I should do?

2024.05.14 04:52 writerrsblock101 Need more secret identity trope
As the title suggests, one of my favorite story tropes is that of secret identities. However, I find that whenever they appear, there's never enough content revolving them. Even more is that I'm obsessed with people finding out about the secret identity. Unfortunately, the stories I find don't seem to satisfy my need for this trope so here's a bit of what I'm looking for:
Character examples include: Barry Allen/The Flash - he kind of reveals his identity a little too often but the way a lot of those scenes are executed are done really well. Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars, and I'm specifically thinking of her appearance in season 7 of the Clone Wars. Myne from Ascendance of a Bookworm - she's a little careless but it doesn't get in her way. (and honestly a lot of isekai/portal fantasy main characters fit the secret identity trope) If you don't know some of these characters, that's fine. I just wanted to put them out there as examples regardless.
So anyway, TLDR: I need someone to suggest me a book with the secret identity trope that has these specific variables. Preferably something in sci fi or fantasy but I'm willing to give some other genres a shot. Just let me know what genre, and if the book doesn't have a certain point I've listed, let me know as well. I haven't read in a long time and I'm looking get back into reading again so I might as well start with one of my favorite tropes.

- The one who holds the secret identity is the main character OR a major side character. (can even be multiple people) I'm not a big fan of characters who hold a huge significance and have very little page time.
- They reveal their identity either willingly or unwillingly (the latter is my favorite but sometimes the former is more important) to trustworthy people. However, their identity is something they want to keep secret. I just really like feeling the thrill of the character(s) who learns of the identity.
- Their secret identity is one that holds a lot of power. Whether they're a superhero, a monarch, a god, a mage in a land without magic, a member of a secret organization, or anything that is beyond the norm.
- Following the previous point, they spend a decent amount of time among the normal population.
- Most importantly, I have a STRONG dislike for constant miscommunication for the sake of drama. If there's a little bit that is quickly cleared up, that's fine, but miscommunication that leads to conflict is perhaps my least favorite trope and when secret identities are involved, I tend to see this happen.

2024.05.14 04:52 HereCauseImTired My friends showed up high without telling me, we nearly got killed, and I never want to hang out again. How do I tell her?
important context; I already know that this friend has taken both hard and soft drugs and drinks often.//death, murder, fighting
I (18ftM) and my friend since childhood (19~F, I'll call her Alice) invited me to go to a drag show with her. It's not my usual scene, but I like cosplay and I'm queer so I agreed to go. I show up on time and wait awkwardly. When Alice gets there, shes normal and she has a friend (19~F, I'll call Ginny) I've met in passing with her.
They let me know that they're high and have taken edibles. I'm already a little uncomfortable because I have bad experiences with drug users in my family, but I've taken edibles before. I was iffy because I wasnt told before that I'd be the only sober one there, but shrugged it off. Been there done that myself, I cant be too judgy. They even offer me some, which I ashamedly considered but ended up turning down. Then, Alice complains that the bar is ID-ing. No biggie again, I already know she drinks sometimes. As the show goes on, Alice gets a bit disoriented and goes to stand by the door to cool off. Ginny then decides to tell me that it is her first time in year trying edibles and that the kind she gave her are very strong. I was more worried about Alice than upset, so when she goes to the car to get water we leave her be and chat with some friends before going to check on her.
Alice was in her car and upset, and told us that she needed to be alone. Ginny suggests taking a walk and I, being an idiot, agree. By now me and Ginny are getting along really well, having spent the entire night talking since Alice wasnt around for most of it. At one point, a car stops next to us on the walk and rolls down his window. He yells "How much?" Out of his window like a jackass and drives away like a pussy because he cant pick a struggle. I get out my pocket knife. I hadn't realized we were in the bad part of town before but something told me to open the knife, because that wasnt the end.
I tell Ginny we can just take my car (we were looking for a gas station to kill time and get an energy drink) and that we should head back to Alice anyway. On the way back, I'm getting really paranoid. Every car passing a little too slow is scaring the shit out of me, and I'm just glad I thought to bring the knife. Then, a car stops across the small street from us as we pass some storage units where a homeless guy was standing. Two men get out of the car. I start speeding up.
Ginny asks, "why are you walking faster," and I whisper to her about the car. One of the guys very obviously heads for us. I believe he saw my knife. It was dull as a rock but it was big and looked scarier than it was. He pivoted and headed for the homeless man instead. I look over my shoulder and these men immediately, no words no hesitation, start beating and kicking this man to the ground. I start running with Ginny away from the units. Whoever the driver was came back around and yelled, "Beat his ass!" To the men as we did. I look over my shoulder and they are curb stomping this mans head. I'm in shock, but not so much that I dont tell Ginny that we should call the police when we get away.
We call the police and tell them what happened- or more like I tell them what happened because Ginny is already forgetting due to her being high. I can remember vividly, even now a few days later. When I let Alice know that shes on call with the police, she flips put a yells at me how stupid that is, how she has edibles in her car. I try and tell her that they wouldnt search her car, shes not involved, and she apologizes but it was still jarring.
The police may have come, but I drove them (I didnt want them to drive) to a store and we got some drinks for Ginny to sobewake up so that she could drive Alice back to hers and she could sleep it off. At some point, they mention doing more stuff at Ginny's. Now I'm just plain tired and the shock is wearing off. No one else in the car realizes, but I saw a man likely get beat to death, and it was almost us. I never told either of them, of course, I dont want them to give it more thought than 'a cool story' (Ginny's words). A man is probably dead and I dont want them to live with that, its affecting me badly.
The more I think of it, the more uncomfortable I feel at the thought of possibly being around them in conditions where I am the only one to see those realities, especially when they take acid and shrooms and who the hell knows what else. I know it's my fault for agreeing to go on that walk when I didnt know the area and she was high, but I'm a gullible and easily peer-pressured guy. I know that.
Basically I want to tell Alice I dont want to hang out, but in a way our mutual friends wont think I'm evil. I also dont want to tell them and seem like I'm whining about something that ALMOST happened to make Alice look bad. I just want a clean cut where we only hang out in groups and she knows its not because I dislike her.
TLDR; I was into a bad situation as the only unwilling sober person to supervise my friends' high. I want to cut her off without any drama or seeming like I dislike her as a person.
