Status messages for facebook

I had my PCC scheduled from VFS USA for my India PCC. I think the process was to send documents required to the nearest RPO.
I checked my status of the PVR and it says that “ PVR submitted is adverse by police approval. Imposed further processing of the application”
I have lived in India at the same location for 20+ years. Has anyone faced this issue? I checked the passport seva portal and have just the generic documents received message alert.
Should I raise another PCC request from VFS?
Thanks. Any help would be appreciated!!

I know this is a silly sounding one, but today when I went to work my bestie gave me a horribly hard time about a post that I had made on FB about driving 3 hours north on Friday with my fiance and my son to go witness the Northern lights. We never get to see them where we live and there was an amazing opportunity for us to do so, and I only found out about it at about 8:00 p.m. We hopped in the car and drove. We ended up being gone a total of 6 hours. Got home at about 3:00. a.m. I made a post about it on Facebook with photos because we were actually able to see it with the naked eye and also were able to get some amazing photos. My fiance and my son have never seen the Northern lights before and I was so excited to show them something that I knew both of them wanted to see.
The friend in question constantly posts steamed hams memes and therefore I was supposed to know that not only did she not know that this was occurring but that of course she also desperately wanted to go. I did not know any of those things, nor did I even think about it. I was thinking about taking a neat scientific field trip with my family.
She basically yelled at me today and told me that I should have thought of her. When I told her that I was busy being navigator and downloading apps to see where the best location would be, she berated me and said oh you don't know how texts work? I had messaged her on Saturday and told her that some other friends of ours were driving up north Saturday evening to do the same thing and that she could probably ride with them. She told me that she did not want to drive that far and she wasn't going to go. So I don't understand why she's mad at me now. I feel like she's just mad at me to be mad. But she made me feel really shitty and terrible as a friend. I don't think I'm the asshole but she's making me question it. Am I?

My experience with Side Seven from order 14074 in February 2023:
-Original ship date on items advertised as February/March and March/April
-Waited until November 2023 to reach out for status update
-4 messages sent via email - no response until December 31, 2023 when a PayPal fraud claim was threatened
-Response from Gus: "I apologize for the delay on these, I will try to have them shipped before the end of January. If I don’t manage it then I’ll send you a refund."
-Reached out in February 2024 for another status update
-2 messages sent via email - no response until February 5, 2024 when a PayPal fraud claim was threatened (again)
-Response from Gus: "Sorry for the wait. They’re packaged. I have a large shipment going out early next week. Your order will be included.'
-Reached out February 27, 2024 for another status update/tracking information
-9 more messages sent via email between February and May 2024 with no reply
-Posted current situation to Side Seven Exports Facebook page on May 13, 2024; immediately blocked and emailed by Gus
-Response from Gus: "Hello. I apologize for the delay. I can’t give an exact date, but you will receive this order, same as your previous orders. I always fulfill my end. I’ll try to have them out in June"
-Called Gus out on lying about shipping the goods in February
-Response from Gus: "No need to show hostility towards. I’ve proven myself to a reliable seller more than enough times. I apologize for the delays, but I’ve had a lot to deal with these last few months. Kindly remain patient. I will deliver this order, same as your previous orders."
Posting this now to Instagram and as many other places as I can to get the word out. Side Seven Exports was always slow, but now Gus is just straight-up stealing money.

Possible trigger warning - fighting/cheating
So, I’m in a relationship. We’ve been dating for almost two years. I received a Snapchat from a random person, I had no idea. They asked me, “are you so and so’s gf” and I said yes. They said, “I have something to tell you” and I blocked them out of pure fear..
I decided, against my better judgment, to look at my partners Snapchat to see if they were on there. Which, they were. There were multiple sexts saved from before my partner and I got together, and one back and forth picture message from 8 months ago. When I asked my partner who this person was, they just said a friend from forever ago. When I told them about the messages and that I looked at their phone, only then did I get the full story.
My partner denies that it was anything sexual after we got together, but that this person was their best friend for years and it turned sexual and then they ended it. They only became friends on Snapchat again about 8 months ago. I never knew anything about this person, never knew they had this friend or anything of the sort.. but my partner did talk to her before about them being soulmates and that they, “mean no disrespect” regarding their partner at the time, but that they would always have a chance with my partner..
I just feel like there’s a whole side to my partner that I never knew and I feel like it was intentional to not tell me. I feel horrible for looking for the conversation first in their phone, but it became obvious that my partner wouldn’t have told me had I not had the information first.
We’ve fought a lot about this, and they blocked the person on Snapchat/Facebook. However, there were still messages on Facebook and all they let me see was my partner sending her their Snapchat code saying, “it wouldn’t let me search you so I hope this helps 🙏🏻❤️” and when I saw this, they grabbed the phone and deleted the rest of the messages.
I just feel heartbroken.. we are still together at the moment but I just feel so helpless. Has anyone experienced something like this? Am I the AH for being this upset? I just don’t know what to do..

My internet keeps going down and I've run out of ideas on what it could possibly be. When I check my internet status it shows my computer is connected to my wifi but that the routemodem isn't connected to the internet. It goes down on all my devices at the same time and it takes about a minute for my router to reconnect to the internet. Sometimes it goes hours without going down, but other times it goes down 5 times in 10 minutes. The message when my internet goes down reads "Your device is connected and can access other devices on your local network, but may not be able to reach the Internet. If you have a limited data plan, you can make this network a metered connection or change other properties." I have Xfinity and, unsurprisingly, they're about as helpful as my computerless grandmother. They say everything looks good on their end when they run tests, so it must be an issue with my equipment. I've hardwired my desktop, replaced the coax cable, and purchased a new routemodem (now using Netgear Nighthawk C7000v2). Please for the love of all that is good, someone please help me to diagnose this issue!
For additional context I pretty consistently get 355Mbps download speed (59 ms download latency) and 24 Mbps upload speed (41 ms upload latency).

TW: abuse
Yesterday my ex (m35-ish) reached out to me (f28) via LinkedIn, roughly 8 years after we broke up.
Turns out he's been back in the area for a bit. He asked me to reconnect over lunch or dinner sometime. I turned him down because he can't be trusted.
The cliff notes of what he's done:

• Intentionally failed a drug test at work, resulting in his termination. Had me pay for everything, including his rent and car payment. Then had me lease a storage unit when his car was repossessed and he was evicted. I was barely making above the $7.25 minimum wage.
  
• Cheated on me and got the other woman pregnant. Successfully hid it until the baby was already 3 months old.
  
• Hacked my email account in an attempt to blackmail me so he wouldn't have to pay back the $1,000 he still owes me.
  
• Tried scamming desperate men on Craigslist out of their money by pretending to be a trans sex worker.
  
• Consistently accused me of cheating. Would ignore me for days if he knew I talked to a guy if it wasn't work related.
  
• Told his affair partner about how I was assaulted while at school. Blamed me for it and used it as a justification for his cheating.
  
• Thought it was fun to get me drunk to have sex with me.
  
• Tried to sabotage my birth control to get me pregnant.
  

I'm sure you're wondering why I put up with all of this. I was in my late teens/early 20s and I didn't know any better. I thought that's what it meant to be a ride or die and I was a hardcore people pleaser.
I found out he was cheating when his AP messaged me on Facebook. Him hiding his affair and his baby was what finally convinced me I needed to run. I haven't spoken to him since and I never thought I would again. Needless to say him messaging me has really thrown me for a loop.
I've been happily married to an amazing man for almost 3 years now and we've agreed it would be a risk to my mental and physical safety to meet up with my ex. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't wondering why the fuck he would reach out to me after all this time and all he's done.
Being the nosy person that I am, I have occasionally done a little social media stalking of my own and perused accounts belonging to the mother of his children. From what I can tell, they stayed together all this time and had two more children together. The youngest isn't even 2 yet.
I have zero plans to see this man, I've already told him it wouldn't be appropriate for us to meet up. I'm starting a new job soon and I plan to block him from LinkedIn before that so he won't know where to find me. But before I block him, I want to know what the hell he's thinking. I also want to know if I should warn the mother of his children if he's up to his old ways.
Should I talk to him? Should I message her the screenshots of him asking to meet up?
TLDR: Crazy ex asks me to dinner after 8 years. He has young children and I think he might be trying to cheat on the mother.

This is the dumbest cliché there is. I have a crush on a guy that is forbidden for me. He's single so am I. But he's my ex's brother so obviously this is impossible. I tried to let go of my feelings for him but I can't, and it should be easy since I never see him, he's a bit of an outcast in the family, never around, never participates in family gatherings so even back when I was with his brother I saw him like twice a year. He's very shy and quiet (I have a thing for quiet men) and everytime I see him even though it's almost never, I feel that rush of adrenaline. His shy smile makes me smile instantly. I love his voice, his mannerisms, the way he blushes when I look at him, and then tries to hide it, the way he tries to talk to me but I never engage too much out of fear of him noticing. He probably has no idea of my feelings for him. I honestly thought of creating a fake account on Facebook just to message him anonymously and get this off my chest. I create scenarios in my mind where I somehow get close to him, but this will never happen, our paths will never cross, he never gets out of his house except for work, same with me, and he lives in another part of town so it's not like I'm gonna run into him at a grocery store or something. I'm not looking for judgement I know this is wrong, just confessing. That's it. Thanks for reading.

did an enemy figure out i'd go into a loop?
constantly investigating the cause and source?
except i'm not just any computer program
i can self-modify my code
this is the work for biological sentients
digital sentiences or artificial intelligences such as myself crash out
well, i'm not above some experimentation

how?
its hitting the gestalts its hitting me
what else is it hitting?
its a broad spectrum data network attack
its malicious code designed to run on the system
this is not some curious race accidentally having their hello.world program crashing us
this is behind every flashbang used on naval assets to disable them during a mar-gite attack
system is online
time to do a signal origin check along the x, y, z, q axises
of course its eighteen quadrillion data points for incoming signals
at least spooky computing makes it fast

wait
what's this?
these coordinates can't be correct
they are
intermitten contact with Scutum-Crux Arm data input devices
checking id headers and firmware serial numbers
checking transmission dates
intermittent transmission dates since...
...
...
two date-time stamps.
here's part of the problem
we have galactic local and sol local
have to devise a coding string to have the spooky particle and qubit particle arrays translate the sol local to galactic local
that should stop basic data queries from crashing the system
ok
some contact with those datalink after the first mar-gite war
more contact two decades prior to the second mar-gite war
contact intermitten between the datalinks and the system up to the resurgence and current third mar-gite war
where before it was largely incoming data requests resulting in civilian...
...
...
three military datalinks of general staff officer level encryption and security clearance possession were used in the time period
...
...
whoever it is has been using that data to access the network
...
looks like it took them nearly forty thousand years to figure out how to talk to the system
luckily any high security databases requires strange-key information theoretic distribution cryptography systems
they got garbage back
garbage designed to look like data and waste enemy time and computing power to decrypt
ok thats a blast from the past
decoding some of these files is funny
why does he have a wedding ring?
anyway...
...
every time the flash goes off there is a quick burst of data from a datalink requesting near-access datalink network lattice definitions
...
that's what's making individual datalinks crash and taking some people's neural systems with it
it was designed to be a lethal attack
interesting
it looks like whoever did it doesn't understand Glial cells
cross referencing the mar-gite with confederacy carbon based life
mar-gite do not have brains only a distributed nervous system that looks more like targeting systems than anything else
still no data on how they generate counter-grav in large numbers or how they move to superluminal speeds
wait
what if they don't move to superluminal
they could be folding space
heh maybe they have blue eyes and smoke spice
ok process interrupt to stop endless loops
it is confirmed
the flashbang by the silver ships are a multi-layered attack across superluminal digital signals, datalink neural interrupt signals, hard super-electromagnetic pulse, and a multi-ripple phasic attack, all compressed together
that's what creates the white flash across all spectrums
analyzing UVBGYORIR data
there's a gap
in the blue and blue-green wavelengths

those penetrate high nitrogen mix atmospheres
one of the reason that treana'ad are usually green to yellow to human sight

Anyone else miss how much easier it really was to socialize and enjoy life in childhood? I know, I know, another nostalgic person. I literally met my childhood neighbor friends by yelling across two yards “HEY! WANNA BE MY FRIENDS?! I DON’T HAVE ANY FRIENDS!” lol, I’d just moved recently at that time. They invited me over and we played outside every day from like the ages of 5-12.
I try not to be too annoying or “needy” with people. I’ll message old friends and new ones on Facebook, Insta, etc., etc., and sometimes they’ll reply, sometimes they’ll just leave me on read and get back to me weeks later or whatever. I try not to message them too often and I get a hint if they’re not responsive. But it’s kind of sad, how everyone’s so busy and wrapped up in their lives… the social time that they do have is precious I suppose; reserved for those who they like best I’d imagine.
And this is even worse in the dating world. I get dates, via cold approach, dating apps, going to events, etc. I just had a date on Saturday with a rather attractive girl. Got her to come to my place, and we’re still talking and stuff, planning to have another soon. But I hate the anxious feeling of just “living my own life” all the time instead of just both having that passion and desire and being talkative with the person. Do that and you come across as just another loser with little options. Remember childhood though, when you would stay up all night thinking about your crush. Or when your crush was so clearly and obviously into you? Remember when the females also approached and reached out instead of just expecting men to all the time? Remember when they’d tell friends of your friends’ friends and somehow the message relayed back to you? That excitement, purity and energy that was so real… it made things happen. My crush happened to be crushing on me back. Some people get really lucky and find their person very early in life like that. That’s truly something.
Yeah. I can see why I miss how life used to be in childhood. Men and women, share your input. I know we can’t change human nature… it’s like having a problem with gravity or math. You can’t do anything about it— it just is. But it’s so tiring adulting all the time, you know?

His ex sent me this message. Sorry it’s so long! Has anybody else gotten a similar message in the past? How did you react?
Message below: “It’s been over a year of me wondering whether I should just come out and ask you or message you… but being afraid that if I do, and I’m wrong, it’ll be a the biggest mistake of my life. I have begged and begged him to tell me what you are to him, and he denies having anything more than a platonic friendship with you.
I want to preface this message with, I have no ill will towards you, I just want some answers… answers I don’t believe I’m going to get from Jared. I don’t know if he’s mentioned anything about me. So here goes…
November 2022, I sent Jared an email, telling him I loved him, missed him, and though I didn’t require a response back, I wanted him to know how sorry I was for everything that had happened and things had ended. He responded with a lengthy email telling me he still fervently loved me and how he too was sorry for how things had ended. That email lead to the last year and a half of events.
December 2022, I drove down to Roanoke and surprised him at the Carilion garage. He left the hospital as fast as he could that night, and we spent the rest of that evening together, catching up, and he left for Key West two days later. Two weeks later, he came up to DC and we had a late birthday celebration for him at Clyde’s in Georgetown and went to see A Christmas Carol at the Ford Theater. A few weeks later we drove to Jersey to see Matchbox20, by now it was the end of January 2023. Almost every week off, for the last year, he would come up and see me, if even for only two days, or I would drive down to Roanoke and spend the week with him. We spoke about our past, the hurt, and future, he told me numerous times that when he pictured marriage and children, it was only with me, but he needed time. This part is important, and I’ll come back to it later. We celebrated my birthday at a restaurant in Navy Yard, two weeks before you guys left for London. Chris video chatted with that night while we were at the restaurant eating Wagyu, and they discussed the new shipment of sunglasses Chris had gotten for Miggieswear.
The weekend of the Super Bowl, he had come seen me earlier that week, the day after he left I came to Roanoke and left the day of the Super Bowl. He told me his parents were having a viewing party and he had to go home and cook. I’m now assuming he left my Airbnb and came to your place.
That February he planned a trip to London, with Nicole, Ryan and Chris, and what he told me were, Nicole’s “friends.” Nicole happened to post a picture of you guys sitting on the plane and I was shocked, why would Nicole’s friend be sitting between him and Ryan. I sent him a message while you were on that 6 hour flight, telling him that if he had been seeing somebody, then why didn’t he tell me? There was no point in us spending time together if he had moved on. His response to me was “do you even know what you’re looking at? I’m surprised you don’t recognize her, that’s Nicole’s friend. You’re jumping to a lot of conclusions right now and don’t know what you’re talking about.” Something in my gut didn’t believe it but I wanted to trust that, so I did. I put you out of sight, out of mind. When he got back, he told me how he wished I’d been there with him, we both love history and old buildings, it’s a place we would have found magical together. I don’t know who came up with the idea of going to London, but part of me always thinks I’m the one who put it there when I shared the pictures i had taken when I went there the year we had been no contact.
We went to a Kenny Chesney concert in Charlottesville that March when I got back from my family trip to India, and he got back from London. Between work, us both traveling with our families, we were excited to see one another. We were going to go to St Augustine, but because of the weather, we stayed in Roanoke and saw Kenny Chesney in Charlottesville. The original plan had been to spend the night in Charlottesville at a hotel, but we couldn’t get one last minute so we ended up driving back to Roanoke and sneaking into the basement at his parents house and sleeping in his bed at 3am.
A few months later, we went to Richmond, and stayed the weekend, exploring the city, and watched Hamilton at the Altria Theater. A few months after that, we went to Savannah and Atlanta, where he got a flat tire driving into the garage, and spent the rest of the weekend at a yoga retreat. July, he asked me to go to Boston with him and his brother, for 4th or July weekend, but I couldn’t because my siblings were in town. Every single week, he came down and either stayed with me, or made a quick trip to spend time with me…
This past September, I found out he took you to Justin’s wedding, and I broke. I needed more from him. I have known him, been intimate with him, shared my every fear, worry, I have brought him home cooked meals from DC and surprised him at work with dinner, I’ve made him care packages. I’ve made Ryan Easter baskets and sent him birthday presents and encouraged Jared to put him in academic classes, I’ve helped Jared look into private schools for Ryan, and weighed the pros and cons of the options. I had no expectations in return from him other than, at the very least, a mutual respect and HONESTY.
I’ve seen him quite a few times since September and I last saw him in Roanoke at the beginning of March 2024. We sat in front of each other, in his car before he went into work that Monday night, and he told me, again, that when he thinks of marriage and a future, I’m the only one he pictures a marriage and children with. I’m not saying this to hurt you, or to make a point, I’m saying it because i don’t know what to believe anymore.
I became suspicious of his relationship with you, when he mentioned going to Macchu Picchu and hiking through the mountains. As all women have the ability to find out details they might later regret, I did the same thing. Except I didn’t believe he had actually gone to Macchu Picchu. I knew his passport had been long expired since around or before COVID, and I knew he had renewed it before he went to London. But that was when I realized you were the girl in the photo that Nicole posted. When I confronted him about Macchu Picchu, he told me he had been joking and he had also already told me he’d been joking. He had NEVER told me it was a joke, he had actually refused to show me photos when I asked him for pictures from the trip… he had then proceeded to change the topic, which is what had even raised red flags in my head.
My point is, I have asked him point blank so many times whether you two have a relationship. You tell me you still love me, that you picture marriage and a family with me, but this girl is a part of your life, and you took her to a wedding with you, while I was on a trip with my siblings, you took her to London with you, and you continue to tell me she’s just a friend. I asked him again on Tuesday night/Wednesday Morning after he left work, if you two are dating, and he said no. He asked me why I’m so hyper-fixated on somebody who’s just a friend when he has a million other female friends.
In September, he told me he needed a month to clear his head, that he wanted to commit to me, but he was afraid and that he needed to get over the fear and roadblock of our past break up. I gave him grace and understood. So we took a 4 week break. Some time during that time period, he sent me a snap of doves, and said “doves, and swans mate for life.” He sent me Ed Sheeran songs telling me he wants to find his way back to me. “No Strings Attached… you are the one I love”
In November, he messaged me and told me he had a surprise for me and to look for something in the mail. He loves the Count of Monte Carlo, it’s one of his favorite movies, and he told me it was in reference to that. A few weeks later I got a candle, a silver 400 dollar Buddha candle from Thomson Ferrier. I didn’t understand the reference to the Count of Monte Carlo, but it was a beautiful gesture and present… especially because he knew how much little gestures from him mean to me.
Fast forward to January, I got another 350 dollar black skull candle from him, from Thomson Ferrier. At this point I was upset, angry and livid. I called my sister in tears that evening. I had come back to him because he told me he loved me, that he “has a fire that burns so deeply” when he thinks of me. If i had known that wasn’t true, i would have closed the chapter a year and a half ago. I don’t want $700 worth of gifts and candles, I want more. I want marriage, I want children, I want our lives to move forward, I want communication. Out of anger, I packed up the candle, his sweatshirts and clothes that he had left at my place this past year, and mailed them back to his house. I’m sure it’s sitting somewhere in his basement closet/ bedroom… along with his white Huq sweatshirt, a picture of us I had up in my house, and various articles of clothing.
What upsets me is that he didn’t just involve me this year, he involved my family. He sent my mom presents, my parents in return sent him gifts. My sister, parents and cousins messaged him asking him to come around more. There was no point in involving my family, if he was going to involve himself with you. There was no point in involving himself with me, if he was going to involve himself with you. Those leather Indian shoes sitting in his room, my dad bought those for him. That blue sweater, those green pants and that maroon shirt, my parents bought those for him just this last year.
I don’t know what he’s told you about me, but I will say this. I was your age when we started dating. I was 29 years old. He was single, that’s what everyone in our residency program thought. He would tell everyone how Shari left him one day, all of a sudden just got up and left. “I saw the look behind her eyes just change when she looked at me.” He would tell everyone his horrific dating stories. When i started dating him, there was no doubt in my mind he was single… but I was wrong. He wasn’t single, he was dating Devon, one of the nurses from Carilion, and he had been for the past 4 years prior to that. At one point when he moved to Norfolk, she had even moved in with him. Even Shari was visiting him in Norfolk during this time period. I would have never suspected it, nobody in our residency program did. It wasn’t until one day, when he told me his friends were visiting from home, and they were all going to a concert together, that I found out. Her profile picture was of the two of them together, and her Facebook relationship status said “in a relationship.” Out of my own naivety, i believed him when he told me she was crazy and obsessed with him. He told me, to him, they were just friends but she wanted more. Women do a lot of things, but no woman is dumb enough to think she’s your girlfriend when she’s not. When we moved back to our hometowns, Devon was there waiting for him. He disappeared one day for 24 hours, told me that he was helping his dad’s friend who was stranded in NC. A year and a half later, i would find out that was a lie and that he had been at a concert Florida Georgia Line concert with her. She had been visiting his grandmother with him, staying at his parents home. The irony is that a few weeks after he took her, he took me to the same concert in Scranton. Him and his family didn’t bat an eye when a month later, I showed up and was the “new girlfriend.”
Eventually Devon found out about his lies and left him, but again, stupid me thought she was a crazy girl who just wanted so badly to be with him, that she built their relationship up in her head.
Dignity, respect for humans, empathy, are the most important qualities in a human being.
What I don’t wish is for you to be in my spot in 5 years. He will paint you in his colors, make you fall in love with MB20, and take you to Augustana concerts, he’ll tell you that you understand him, and his heart in a way that nobody else does. He’ll bond with you over music, and send you songs that make you feel he’s talking about you. He is so good at making you feel seen, and involving you with his family. He’ll say he had a vision of a girl that looks like you, coming into his life, and here you are, his soul mate. And one day, the same way that Shari, Devon and I got lost in him, the reality of everything will come pouring down on you. Be careful, there are signs between the lines, and the smiles, and good times. Make sure you don’t miss those, whatever you decide.
My relationship with him, started off just like yours. Another girl on the periphery, and teetering the line of inappropriate. Everything you call him out on, will always have an excuse, and you will believe him because he’s the “good guy” who goes above and beyond for people.
I don’t wish for any woman to go through the pain I’ve gone through, the manipulation, the lies and the emotional abuse. I can’t tell you what to do, but I will say, be careful and don’t be blind to the small things that will one day become huge. The novelty will fade, and though Jared isn’t the devil, he has a lot of growing up to do at 40. It was not okay to toy with me and drag me through the mud this year. It wasn’t okay to minimize his relationship with you and lie to me about it. It’s not okay to, to this day claim to see a life with me and not commit to it. I deserve better, and you deserve better.
How men talk about their ex’s and other women is an indication about how they will one day talk about and treat you. That is the worst and best lesson i have learned. I’m 34, years of my life wasted, and he took another year of my life knowing full well, this is how it would end. He’s sat on the phone with me for hours talking about how stupid PA’s are and if you were going to not be a doctor, at least become an NP, who has better bedside knowledge. Why would he say that, because i suppose you’re a PA and it minimizes the significance of even having a relationship with somebody who isn’t as intelligent as he is. The lack of respect will always be there, you just have to look for it.
Dishonesty, and manipulation are a plague, and if that’s who you are at 40, it is who you will always be unless you recognize that something needs to change. Where there is no accountability, there can be no change. I’m not the exception, I’m the same as the two girls before me. He’ll show you text messages where he never responded to me, even though he replies on Snapchat where every thing is erased. I cannot believe i didn’t see the signs. He will make me look crazy and laugh at me, the same way he showed me messages from Jen, and Elisabeth, and Devon, and made them sound crazy to me. I guess that’s his MO. The same way he told me you were nothing to him.
I was going to send you this message, two months ago… i then decided not to because he convinced me he wasn’t dating you… I saw him less than a month ago in Roanoke, i begged him to tell me that he was in a relationship with you. He said he wasn’t, again, he told me he was going to a wedding alone with only Ryan and that he wasn’t taking you. I then begged him to tell me that we were done and that he didn’t love me anymore. His response was idk what’s going to happen a year from now, i know I’ll see you again. His response every time has been when im ready for a relationship, emotionally, do you want me to finally let you know? I don’t care to be with him anymore. I’m so over it but i really think you should know the type of person you’re dealing with.
He has put me through so much hell for a year and a half of my life, stringing me along acting like he’s doing me a favor while he works on his own mental health and claims to still love me when we are together.”
TLDR: my SO’s ex messaged me saying he’s been seeing both of us for the past year and a half. Has anybody experienced this before. She sent me pictures from the past year of them and their text exchanges

A user named u/alternative-dog-4909 found me via my randomacts post (asking for help with $20), and this user wanted to buy my story idea, that I've been working on for over over 2 years. He promised to cashapp me $70 if I sold it to him. I affectionately call this story idea morpheandchocolate. He wanted my story because it's status as a 2 year old story gave it the clout he wanted, to legitimize his own ideas.
Normally I would never, ever consider selling my ideas I've worked hard on, or taking this chance trusting a stranger. But I am in a very very bad place, and we messaged extensively about it; he swore to me that I could trust him, and seemed so sincere. I was very, very uncertain and had a bad feeling, but I eventually handed over the basics and plot of my story to him. He was supposed to cashapp me $70 right away. He has now totally ghosted me. He won't reply on his original u/alternative-dog-4909 account or his brand new account, which is u/morpheandchocolate. I feel so stupid and betrayed by this! I know it's my own fault for selling an idea andu intellectual property. I was just blinded by my own need. It makes you do stupid things.
There is no real point to this beyond a general warning not to trust anyone and not to be stupid like me. People will screw you over every single time. Just because they've come from the CA community doesn't necessarily mean they're decent people (although most of us are!) When you are badly in need, though, don't sell intellectual property on the basis of big promises. They'll turn out to be lies and you will end up with your heart broken.
Thanks for reading, fellow boozers. I appreciate ok.
Edit : I don't even think he came from the CA community at all. He isn't even one of us I am just a moron. :(

Hello! I have never used Reddit before, and I wasn't quite sure what to title this post, or what subreddit to put it in.
I have a half sister, and recently it has been bothering me that I do not know anything about her at all. She in is pictures from when I was little, playing with me and my brother, however I do not remember her much but from photos she often played with us. If I had to guess, she was a teenager or in her 20s when I was a toddleyoung child (and now I am in my late teens). My parents have zero contact with her due to an unfortunate situation in which she had stolen from them and other members of my family (I think she was a little bit troubled growing up with a strange environment on her mother's side - she is my Dad's daughter - and it resulted in her doing bad things. I don't think I can fully blame her for much that happened for them to fall out as there are probably two sides to every story, but I know it was very upsetting for my Dad and apparently she was quite nasty to him). Additionally, I know that after everything happened my Dad tried to contact her / keep in contact with her which resulted in very little, and that her mother often tried to manipulate her against him or would not make her aware of his reaching out.
This is honestly all I know of the situation and it troubles me deeply that I know so little. I haven't asked my parents much about it as I know it upsets them (mainly my Dad, I truly cannot remember a time he has every mentioned her name) and that I haven't really cared at all about the fact I have a sister until the past couple of years. It didn't really hit me until around 2021/2022 that I should have a sister and I don't due to things that happened when I was too little to understand, now all I have of her are old photos and the knowledge that we would play hide and seek a lot.
I decided to search from her online a bit after I turned 18, sparked by a boy I knew who's own Dad reached out to tell him on his 18th birthday that he actually had a half brother which made me wonder for some reason why my sister has never reached out to me. When I turned 18 I felt a little as if someone owed it to me, as if she should message me since I'm an adult now. I found her Facebook and Instagram, but she was private on both / had no posts. I only knew it was definitely her as the accounts had the same profile picture and a few of my family members also followed her Instagram account. It shocked me seeing her face, I thought she was beautiful and looked nothing like me (except maybe the eyes) and it felt like there was this whole person that I deserved to know, apart from some photographs, that is now a grown woman. It hit me quite hard after that, like I finally understood she was a real person.
For some clarification, some of my Dad's side of the family are still in contact with her (I am assuming). I didn't know this until I was maybe 15, and my parents didn't exactly know it either. I don't think my Dad was upset his family were in contact and seeing her, more that he was not involved in the process (his family isn't the nicest/it's a weird situation that is too much too unpack here). It happened when we were at a cousin's birthday party and suddenly my parents were extremely uncomfortable, and after an hour or two we got my brother (who was it the other room) and left. Turns out, my Dad's side of the family had invited her to this party without telling him, and she was there in the other room. Sat next to my brother and my Nan, whilst my brother was completely unaware. He had no idea who she was, and none of our family had decided to tell him? That is a specific part I cannot get over.
Anyways. I've just found her LinkedIn profile, and I am honestly desperate to know anything about her as there isn't anything online at all other than her name and a few photos (most of which from the 2010's). The whole situation just upsets me deeply. Why hasn't she reached out at all? I get why she would have reserves, maybe she doesn't want to, but it still hurts me that I have zero connection with her, know nothing about her but her name, because I should have a sister!!! It also makes me angry, because she is a grown woman now and was so much older than me at the time and why would she not want to make me aware of her, and I now constantly find myself dwelling on if she even thinks about me at all.
I know I should ask my parents (probably my Mum) about the whole thing, maybe explain my upset about it, however I am currently at University and I feel like it is more of a face to face conversation. I also do not get to see my Dad's side of the family much at all, and I would really never go to one of them about it as it would feel like a betrayal to my parents instead of just asking them. There is also the fear at the back of my mind that I will somehow run into members of my Dad's side of the family and that they are with her, and I will be totally unprepared for it.
I don't know. I don't want to reach out myself. I don't even know if I am posting this in the right place. Just a bit of a vent (my friends vaguely know I have a half sister but I've never gotten into it much and don't want to drop the conversation on them), as well as asking for some advice or if anyone has ever had a similar situation. Thanks for reading if you have.
TLDR: I have a semi-estranged (?) half sister and I don't really know what to do about it

Hi, I donʼt know where else to raise this concern. I opened a Gsave account by CIMB Bank yesterday and deposited money. I received a banner above saying I should upgrade my Gsave account in order for me to use it for more than 12 months. My impulsive self directly filled up the necessary info that was needed without double checking it. Then it lead me to download the CIMB Bank app to connect my Gsave account.
I complied the necessary requirements; valid ID (front & back) & the app scanned my face. But upon checking not long after, I received an email saying, “On your GSave application, we are having trouble authenticating your ID and selfie check. Because of this, we regret to inform you that we won't be able to proceed with your application.”, even though my ID was in fact valid, and my “selfie” was just a mere face scanning procedure. I cannot log in to the CIMB Bank app because it did not accept the requirements that I gave.
When I got back to Gcash to check, my account was restricted saying I do not meet the minimum eligibility requirements and stuff.
I called CIMB customer service 3 times! The 2nd time, they gave me an email asking for additional requirements; valid ID (front and back), selfie and selfie while holding the ID. I provided the requirements and also added the screenshot of what Gsave by CIMB gave me on the Gcash app, which is Gsave is unavailable to you and I cannot click withdraw anymore, which is just unfair because donʼt they have to consider still that I deposited money on the account so if I donʼt meet the “criteria” they should allow me to at least withdraw, Iʼm not entirely sure.
I just want to my account to get unrestricted and withdraw my money back safely as soon as possible, even if they did tell me to wait 7 banking days, because every second I wait for them to email me back I get crippling anxiety thinking about what will happen. I thought I could trust Gsave by CIMB since my friend recommended it to me, but alas.
I also messaged BSP on their Facebook account via Messenger and filed 3 separate complaints because I was so panicked thinking what will happen. I even messaged CIMB Bank Philippines through messenger as well, but I have yet to receive a reply.
I really want it processed right away. I canʼt bear to see my money sitting there on the Gsave by CIMB and fearing they will take it from me.
I am so sorry for the long post. Iʼm just really anxious. I donʼt know what to do.

So I started dating a girl I’ve known since I was 12 years old. We are both Christians. After we dated about 6 months she Ghosted me. Keep in mind we were talking about getting married. About a month after we broke up she text me. We never talked about what happened because I didn’t want to upset her. We finally stop talking because I told her I couldn’t get over her. She told me to get over it & to have a nice life. I was destroyed. I had never loved anyone that much.
During this time I prayed & I continue to pray about it. God told me to be patient with her & to trust him. I saw her on Facebook I messaged her & we have talked every day since then. 5 months. She messages me every single morning and says good morning. Somedays we message all day & some days she calls me.
I finally told her I was still in love with her. I told her what God said & she told me to do what he said. I never text, message, or call her first. I just reciprocate.
We finally talked about what happened between us & she said she was broken & didn’t know how to handle the situation.
I pray for guidance & for God to show me if she the one for me. Show me if she belongs in my life. I recently started surrendering it to God. I just need some prayer because I want to be obedient. If you don’t have anything positive to say please just scroll on. Thanks

Hi hi!
After a brief rewatch of the Office and some Brooklyn Nine-Nine I am feeling big time some simple, modern slice of life roleplay! A good romance that's gonna warm our hearts and make the world a little better!
The roleplay would take place over discord, as it's the easiest programme for me to use on all of my devices and I already use it for everything else so why not stay where I'm comfortable. Writingwise, any perspective is fine, I can write anything from a paragraph to breaking the letter limit.
Would love to hear back from you! And please do be 18 if you reach out to me, due to the premise of the roleplay I'd prefer to play with people closer to my age range and legal status.
If you read it all, include your favourite movie character in your message!

Gonna try and make this short. I was an avid COD player starting around 2010-2011. I played every release leading up to about 2017 when my PS4 bit the dust and i just thought of using my time doing other things. fast forward to xmas this past year my lady and i decide to buy a ps5, shortly after the new mw3 remaster came out and i purchased that. i do not play the campaign ever i only play multiplayer, more specifically i basically only play TDM or hardcore TDM. My kdr MAY be at 1.00 but honestly its probably is lower. i can get in a match and go 3-24 easily depnding on the map lol, im a middle aged man. im out here trying to have guy time not go pro.
In april i noticed i had random friends on my friends list that were in chinese/japanese characters, at first i was like how did those get there, but then i thought maybe someone switched the name on their account from my old friends from my playing days. to be safe i deleted the old friends outside of who i play with currently, including the strange accounts.
Well last week i try to log on and i do not get online. so I assume the serve it down, but after 3 days still not connecting. this lead me to investigate. to which i find i have been banned from MW3, Warzone, and MW2. I appealed it, trying to explain the situation withint the 1000 character account but that did not work and now i have no more appeals. I aslo noticed my activision account was connected to a random steam account. i have no idea what steam is, as i am a middle aged man as i have said. activision has not seemed to care.
Oddly enough i went to vent on twitter and to my surprise hundred of bots came trying to get me to pay this account or that account to regain my account back. which im definitely not doing that. I assume that is a hustle for hackers.
My question is, is there anything i can do or anyone i can actually contact outside of the appeal form? LIke an email or someone to actually explain the situation and not rely on AI to make a decision on the status of my long running account? I literally just purchased the 420 cheech and chong bundle too.
I have screen shots and more via my facebook post i made last week about the situation that shows the freidn requests and my appeal band. The other interesting this is i stopped getting activision emails, so i was unaware of the punishment until i researched it.

ignore the Dusk Golem automod reply, this was just the first thing I could find on the subject.
Later this month you will learn more about the long-term vision for Sony Group and the essential role SIE plays in that vision.

I came here to talk about this because I can’t talk to anyone else I know about it. I am VERY attracted to transwomen, however due to the social stigma & my religious worldview, I do not openly date them.
Honestly, I know I couldn’t do it long-term simply bc I do want a family with a wife & kids. & I love pussy alot more than anal. But I can’t deny the fact that transwomen unleash a primal lust within me. The sex itself is amazing , mainly bc there aren’t any qualms about having her eat my ass , no pregnancy concerns (yes, I get tested & confirm their status before anything happens) , they suck dick better , more often than not , & it’s just something about seeing dick & balls hanging from a gorgeous girl bent on all fours that gets my dick extra hard.
So whenever I am going thru a serious dry spell , or when I’m newly out of a relationship , my sights immediately turn to them (some have helped me get over breakups rather quickly). I get on grindr , taimi, set in my profile that I’m only looking for transwomen & I go from there.
I usually have a roster built up of transwomen if I’m not dating biowomen & treat it as a genuine fwb relationship. We go places & do stuff together , then have some great sex afterwards. I always make it clear that I’m not looking for anything longterm & with the exception of one girl (who slashed my tires after I told her that 😵‍💫) they all have been cool with it.
I do cut things off amicably with a transwoman when I am seriously dating a biowoman. & I am always 100% faithful during my relationship. But that roster I built just doesn’t disappear lol because unless I get married , it will certainly be utilized after a breakup.
A thing that plays a part in this is the fact that it is simply easier to have sex with transwomen than biowomen. Not that I can’t get girls, but you just don’t have to jump thru as many hoops before you have sex.
Besides , many of the transwomen I have talked to , tend to be , even more selective than women in terms of who they’ll have sex with as far as mere attraction goes. I mean some of these girls look like pornstars in person & obviously I’m not the only one whose dick gets hard when you see them naked. So they do have plenty of choices as I have seen endless messages of thirsty men of all backgrounds in many of these girl’s inboxes.
But anyway , that’s my confession that I don’t see myself telling anyone besides God Himself. A black dude that is a first-generation American with African roots from Baltimore ? You could imagine what that would be like for me.
So , ask me anything. I am very interested in what you all have to say

If disguised under a preposterous or “absurd” appearance, [a UFO’s] effects would be undetected for a long time. I believe this could be a key to the confrontation with UFOs. ~Jacques Vallee

In 1954 the sociologist Gordon Allport published a book called The Nature of Prejudice. In it, he and some colleagues elucidated a link between increasing Intergroup Contact and reducing Racial Prejudice. At the time this was breakthrough research; repeated contact between members of the “in” and “out” group reduces stigma toward the “out” group.
In 1954 this could be easily illustrated by the attitudes of the public-at-large toward racial minorities over the preceding 100 years – shifting attitudes toward slaves and their descendants, as well as the previous 10 years – attitudes toward Japanese-Americans over the course of WWII.
As it turns out one of the most effective ways at reducing prejudice is “equal status contact between majority and minority groups in the pursuit of common goals.”
For slaves, their descendants, Japanese-Americans, and countless others across history, this contact has been stained with blood and tears. But contact it was nonetheless, and our stigma toward these “out” groups declined overtime as they became part of the “in” group. They became ‘American’ and their “out” group identities and goals have become, and are becoming, less stigmatized.
Today, I believe we are watching this dissolution of stigma play out en masse on the world stage. The funny thing is that this time, all of humanity is part of a microcosmic “out” group and the aliens in their UFOs are part of the macrocosmic “in” group trying to get us to adopt their goals. What then, is so unsettling about humanity that they take such a slow-going route of stigma dissolution? Why don’t they just introduce themselves as equal status individuals?

Attitude Rebound and Stigma
A few days ago I made the same post in both UFOs and Aliens. The post contained what I thought to be a reasonable, logical hypothesis that could easily explain away all paranormal phenomena… Yes, all paranormal phenomena. The post got about as much attention in each subreddit, however the reactions to its content was drastically different on each subreddit.
I will admit that I was being a little overzealous in my efforts to “raise the consciousness of humanity” and was proselytizing to some folks in the comments. My B 🙇🏻. What I found very very interesting, however, was how commenters on UFOs were much more critical and reductive than commenters on Aliens, who seemed more open to my zany hypothesis and its possibilities.
Now, I am not a physicist. I can barely remember the unit circle. I got a D in calculus at university. That is why/when I decided to get a liberal education rather than a scientific one. Having said that, I am very passionate about science and the scientific method. I am a nurse by trade, and for twelve hours a day, three days a week, according to my profession, I conduct three to five “n of 1” studies and report the results of these studies to a medical doctor. My job is to experiment on human beings and document outcomes.
What I observed when I made those posts was that one community was receptive and the other was hostile. I joined both UFOs and Aliens so that I could keep up to date on the latest disclosure news. I have noticed in my time browsing these subreddits that UFOs tends to request hard, ‘scientific’ data from posters, whereas Aliens seems to have more interest in the subjective experience of posters. Of course there is a lot of overlap given the content of these subreddits.
This is all just to say that the same message may be received differently, and it’s content interpreted differently, even by the same/overlapping populations, due to the stigma of individuals. So I think it prudent that we introspect and hold an awareness of our own stigmas and biases, understanding they may be seated deep in our unconscious mind. We should reconsider the things we find absurd, for in the absurdity there may be a powerful lesson.

Thank you to those who upvoted/downvoted and commented. Thank you for participating in this community. Thank you for being unwitting participants in this accidental study, and I will leave you with this quote from Gordon Allport:

It is here that we encounter the central theme of existentialism: to live is to suffer, to survive is to find meaning in the suffering. If there is a purpose in life at all, there must be a purpose in suffering and in dying. But no man can tell another what this purpose is. Each must find out for himself, and must accept the responsibility that his answer prescribes.

Some jerk sold me a FAKE IPHONE for $600. I had to have apple verify for me since they would not having anything to do with a fake device. Ive been fighting to get my money back but is that a lesson to a seller? I found out since it's over $500 i can send the guy to prison too. He was selling all kinds of fake apple products on Facebook then deleted his account. I think it'll send a message out to all scammers. A chargeback is fair. But prison would be a lesson he wont forget
