Quikscript is an alphabet (and phonemic orthography) specifically designed for the English language. Quikscript replaces traditional English orthography, which uses the Latin alphabet, with completely new letters. It is phonemically regular, compact, and comfortably and quickly written. This subreddit was created for the purpose of helping people learn how to write in Quickscript as well as promoting discussion about it.

/abcdefghijklmnopqrstu attempted to list as much of the English alphabet in its name as possible. Unfortunately, the ambitious subreddit was unable to complete its goal due to the character limit. This community picks up where /abcdefghijklmnopqrstu left off, placing the remaining letters in its name and thereby completing the alphabet in a legendary act of cooperation.
2024.05.15 16:27 dangerous_azy 11 years Journey of Unrequited Love
Good evening, I'm new here in Reddit and I discovered this app on tiktok so allow me to release my frustrations and pains here.
I'm 22 yrs old (F) and I'm currently working na. I decided to share my story here because no one really knows what I feel since then.. esp i don't have my own circle of friends.
First year HS when I met J and we're not on the same section, I saw him everyday because some of my classmates were his friends, I don't like him at first.. kasi medyo maingay sila na mag babarkada and hate ko talaga ang maingat esp na natutulog talaga ako during vacant namin. I didn't mind them and months had passed at intramurals na namin.
J joined the basketball team at ako? Wala, I'm not sporty kaya taga nood lang ako at sumasali lang sa class dance presentation. I'm fan of basketball that's why I chose to watch it and cheer to our year level. He's good in basketball.. can't deny that. I cheered him in silence since we're on the same year level naman. I was really amazed of how he play...
Months had passed again and i guess my classmates noticed me looking at him and they started to teased me towards him, Syempre indenial tayo. Lol.
I thought everything will just be normal after but when i opened my facebook i found out that he added me on facebook and so I accepted him and he sent a lot of like sticker and btw it happened last 2013. So i got upset and chatted him what was that for and he said "Na pindot ko lang" so i didn't mind him then nag m-manual type ata sya ng emoji kasi nag send sya ng [[Midfing] at basta nag away kami don and i told him na "Bakit nag add kapa at mag sisinuplado ka?" And he answered me "Kung pwede lang sana ma undo (Unfriend)" Sabi ko pwede naman ah at pwede mo rin ako ma block and since HS pa ako at eme-eme pa so ako nag block sa kanya.
FF. 2nd year HS were just normal, we don't talk it's like we're totally strangers.. idk if he knows me kasi sabi niya napindot niya lang naman ang add sa Facebook. Despite what happened to us (Sa chat) i was still cheering him every intrams namin. Minsan nagkaka eye contact kami pero hindi ako nag aassume, but yes i know na crush ko na sya.
All of our teachers knew that i was into him that's why every time na dadaan sya samin pinapapasok sya sa room and they will tease us. Sa room din sya namin nag tatambay every vacant since friends nya classmates ko.
3rd year HS at hindi ko na ma isa isa memories namin basi for me happy ako na kahit minuto lang yon ay napasaya niya puso ko at don na ako nababahala kasi parang hindi na normal, Nag seselos na ako, na iinis na ako at nalulungkot ako pag wala sya. I tried to divert my feelings to someone kay CJ 4th year HS sya and he was a nice guy and very gentlemen. Sa months na pag uusap namin i can say that we're in good terms but i know to my self na si J parin gusto ko.
Alam ko na mali na parang pinapaasa ko si CJ but i told him everything naman at inaccept niya din reason ko kasi nararamdaman din naman daw niya. I lost contact with CJ and tried to stop my feelings for J pero it's not easy.
FF.
4th year HS and it will be the last year na makita ko sya because we will be studying in different university na sa college. As what i said i really tried to forget him but it's really not easy.. so go with the flow nalang ako. Hindi ako na iimik everytime na tinutukso kami. One time naka charge phone ko and my classmate which is his friend took my phone and tried to unlock my phone but they couldn't guess the pattern so my classmate ask him "J_______ ano ang pattern?" I just watched them and he grabbed my phone from my classmate and tried to connect the dots and formed letter J .. like wth? but that wasn't the pattern of my phone.
2 months before our graduation was our town fiesta and we're all busy practicing our dance presentation again and as usual samin sya naka tambay. Hapon noon ng pumasok sya na lasing nahh.. tipsy nalang at dumeretso sila sa classroom namin. Sa tabi ko sya pinaupo ng classmate ko at vinideohan kami nila. Some of his classmates were also there and teased us.
Ayon nalang year after nalaman ko na may girlfriend na sya at ang girlfriend nya ay isa rin sa tumutukso samin.
I thought infatuated lang ako, I thought crush ko lang talaga sya. Pero 11 yrs na at ang hirap niyang kalimutan. Gusto ko din naman maging masaya kahit hindi na sana SYA, Okay lang. He's happy now and i think deserve ko din naman maging masaya. I really tried to forget him, I really tried to move on kahit walang kami pero kung saan na medyo hindi ko na sya na iisip diyan naman sya nag papakita sa panaginip ko. TANGINA ANG HIRAP. PARANG BINABANGUNGOT AKO. GUSTO KO LANG NAMAN MAGING MASAYA.
ANONG GAGAWIN KO.

2024.05.15 16:18 throwawaypbjelly AITAH for calling off the wedding?
I have been through so much and I am exhausted.
Since November of last year, I have been dealing with a conflict with my in-laws:
submitted by throwawaypbjelly to AITAH [link] [comments]
Since November of last year, I have been dealing with a conflict with my in-laws:
- A group picture of my parents, my fiancé’s parents, my fiancé, and I was posted by my MIL on a Facebook story post. Let’s call my fiancé, Jerry (fake name). There was a caption on the photo and the caption only covered my face and my parents. When pointed out, Jerry blamed it on her tech incompetence.
- Following this incident above, an argument ensues between me and Jerry (I talked about my feelings regarding his family, how I was treated, etc.) to the point that he started a group chat on Facebook messenger the next day out of anger. He threw me, his sister, and his mom into the group to "sort this out" and threw me under the bus. I quickly left the group.
- I went to my parent’s house to clear my head for a few days and told Jerry that I need to rethink this relationship. He had an emotional breakdown because of this.
- This incident snowballed with questions from his family as they were “blindsided”. I mentioned all the things said and done by his mom over the past 5 years (when I first met his mother, she said that our relationship would not work out due to cultural differences and few other offensive comments in the years ahead)
- I was met with "I am sorry if I offended you". His mother sent another attempt at an apology that was a potential apology. However, I could not respond as I was blocked. Then a letter was sent to me from her that was a rug sweep "I am sorry that this has all happened. Can't we move past this".
- In December of last year, I informed Jerry that I needed to heal from everything and for that, I do not wish to go with him on Christmas. Every year, his family meet on Christmas. I asked him if he would like to spend it with me. If not, that is totally okay. I also said that he should go because I knew I would be blamed for it. Well, I was blamed for it. I was called manipulative and on a power trip.
- His family further tells questioned him for spending Christmas with me because according to them, I don’t celebrate Christmas. He’s white and I am not. I stated to him that his family does not go to Church nor are they practicing Christians. I celebrate Christmas (gift exchanges and dinners) the same way as they do. They did not apologize for their comment.
- From December to March, my fiancé has had numerous conversations with his father and mother to resolve the conflict which now involved the entire family. During this span of time and in their absence, I started to heal and focused on my relationship with my fiancé.
- Then come March; his father was still stuck in his anger. Did not reflect for the last three months and informed my fiancé that they are not coming to our wedding. I admit that I was so angry that I threatened to divorce him should they not come to our wedding and that he continues a relationship with them. I apologized for what I said afterwards.
- We were about to meet up in person to resolve this however, his father decided to send a group text in advance of our meet up and informed us that he is not interested in extending an olive branch. He was bullying us into submission (please see my past posts), blamed me for how I handled things and boldly stated that if I wasn’t his son’s fiancé, he would have nothing to do with me. When called out for his rude texts, his father stated that he needed to get it off his chest to heal.
- For days after the texts, Jerry stood up for me and fought with his dad. Eventually, his dad agreed to come to town to “talk”. I was so incredibly hurt from his dad’s actions and I bluntly stated to Jerry that if he continues to berate me in person when we meet up, I will get up and leave the conversation. Jerry immediately got upset, raised his voice at me and left the apartment. I had no idea that he got up to go kill himself, I thought he just left to cool off like he usually does. I later learned that he felt unsupported by me.
- Couple days later; Jerry had another meltdown. His parents and all his friends drove down to meet with him to provide support. Before they reached, I got to his place early and his friend was there. Jerry had too much to drink and was at his lowest point. I tried to calm him down, but he was angry to the point that I left the apartment in tears. He humiliated me when he yelled at me in front of his friend. Then at the end of the night, I brought up the issues with his parents to try to resolve. I was later told that I made it about me when I confronted his parents.
- Weeks later; his parents met up with Jerry and my parents for their wedding clothing shopping. I decided not to show up.
- Jerry and I moved into our new place, with furniture shipped in and it needed to be put together. His dad offered to drive down to help Jerry put the furniture together. I appreciated the fact that the furniture was put together. Jerry was practically upset that I am not recognizing his dad’s efforts when I said it does not erase everything he has done. His father did not even apologize to me once and I should be okay because of the furniture? An argument ensues and it escalated to a point where I could not take it anymore and I went to take my life. Even at my lowest point, Jerry still got mad at me.
- And now he is profusely apologizing for betraying me and hurting me. I feel that I don’t even know who he is anymore.

2024.05.15 15:00 deadcoder0904 9 Use cases for GPT-4o
GPT-4o is an omni model. It accepts any combination of text, audio, and image as input and generates any combination of text, audio, and image as outputs.
There's 100s of applications it will enable. I'll cover a few of them below.
Duolingo Stock
For context, Duolingo is a language-learning app. Now GPT-4o can easily translate terms in other languages by just pointing it to the ChatGPT's Camera.
This is massive if you want to travel globally as a nomad. You don't have to know a language now. You can just translate on the fly in any random country.
The accuracy won't be 100% but it would be close enough. And the AI keeps improving.
Most students fear asking questions because they feel it might be dumb. Now you can ask ChatGPT any dumb question.
It even solves math problems for the Salman Khan's (founder of Khan Academy, not the actor) Kid.
You can even use a Soft Toy that does the talking to the kid. Earlier, there used to be toys that did that but it only spoke the same sentence. Now it can do back and forth.
You can make special toys that teach kids letters and alphabets. Target it to 2-3 year olds.
Hat tip to Whyme-__- for the Bed Time idea.
The future is great for the blind.
You can build a specialized app that gets you an AI Friend since you can talk to it now and it can talk back, it will be great.
I am 100% sure Therapy AI will be much better now with Audio/Video integration. In future, we will have fully featured Robots like Tesla's Optimus and Figure that will have such functionalities built-in.
I bet this comes in <2 years judging by the pace at which AI and Robotics are accelerating.
Its a huge creative exercise for comic creators. Webtoons have exploded in popularity and many KDramas are made out of them like Death's Game and Marry My Husband.
This will increase the creativity exponentially.

2024.05.15 14:50 PitExplainTheJoke Secret meanings in the alphabet?
It's a theory I come across every once in a while. Every letter has a few hidden meanings in it unlike other alphabet which letters are nothing but a way of conveying sound through writing. Things such as their gematrical value, a "concept" which is represented in their names, the other letters each letter is made out of etc. And I see rabbis advocating for this theory while presenting more and more coincidences that only make it seem less coincidental, I even heard people saying God made these letters first and only afterwards used them to create the world. But it makes no sense to me because wasn't the alphabet taken from Aramaic? Doesn't it kind of defeat the theory that God invented these letters and hence they are so sophisticated? For example when Moses broke the commandments and had to rewrite The Torah, if this theory is true the Israelites should've been able to read what Moses wrote which according to this theory should've been the Aramaic alphabet. Yet it was only adopted later chronologically. Please explain to me how this theory is seen by Jews because I frankly don't understand how it could be possible historically

2024.05.15 14:46 feculentjarlmaw A Story About Jack: How a post on reddit forced a malignant narcissist and serial abuser of women to face consequences for the first time.
The internet is a strange place, inadvertently designed to bring out the best and worst in people. People can be whoever or whatever they want to be. For predators and malignant narcissists and who live in their own delusions to begin with, it's like a hunting ground. They can create whatever persona they wish, fill their victims' heads with lies and half-truths that paint them out to be someone they are not, and by the time their victim actually meets them, it's too late - they've already created an image in their mind of this perfect person the narcissist has convinced them they are, and it usually takes time before the curtain comes down, the lies fall apart, and the mask breaks away.
I'm no saint, and I've learned my own tough lessons from the internet. I grew up under not-so-great circumstances, only getting 5 years of education before I turned 18 and was largely raised by a computer screen. Along the way, I catfished a woman in her mid-20's when I was 14-16 years old. It wasn't intentional at first, I told everyone that I was in my mid-20's and I worked as a bouncer at a bar in NYC. I never meant any harm, I was just raised by a computer and spent all my time alone playing MMOs and learned quickly that if I told people how old I was, they'd stop playing with me. So a bouncer seemed like a job I could bullshit about easily enough, and I was a big dude at 6'1 260lbs so I figured I could maybe pass it off as legit if it ever got hectic.
I started playing with this woman in her 20's and her husband frequently. We became friends fast, and soon we were virtually inseparable on the game. Her marriage ended up not working out, and after they separated she told me she had feelings for me. I should've admitted I wasn't who I said I was then, but I was young and dumb and she was the only real friend I had, so I kept up the ruse. Eventually I did come clean, and she broke it off with me not long after. We stayed friends, albeit with my heart hurting pretty bad, for a few months afterwards - until she met Jack.
When she first told me about Jack, he sounded like a great catch. He had his own IT business in Canada, was a couple years older but not by much, and she was infatuated with him. Obviously I was crushed and didn't handle it well, being a practically feral teenager at the time, so not long after they started getting serious she ghosted me altogether. I was around 17 at the time, and shit started going off the rails for me. After I got out of juvie, I started drinking heavily on a near-daily basis and selling and doing drugs. This led to a lot of pathetic, inebriated, desperate attempts to contact her and apologize for how I acted.
After months of being ignored, eventually grief and regret turned to anger, and finally acceptance. When the pain passed and I came to my senses a bit, I had an epiphany and realized that if I loved her as much as I thought I did, the best thing for both of us would be to let her go. I was a high school dropout with no job, selling drugs to get by. She had 2 kids, and what kind of life could I provide for them? She made the right choice, my age and the fact I made a grown woman fall in love with a teenager not withstanding, and as bad as it hurt I realized it was selfish of me not to accept the way things were and leave her alone, so I did.
10 years or so later, I had gotten my shit together. Worked my way up from cleaning dead shit out of swimming pools, to an entry level position at an environmental consulting firm, to a Project Manager at one of the largest firms in the field in the DC area. I'd met someone, got her pregnant, and for some reason I felt a pull to contact her again. Not to rekindle an old flame, but because she had been a tremendously positive influence on my life in a time where I had few. She was the first good thing I had in my life at a time when I was sleeping on old blankets on a hard floor in an abusive home, and what I'd held onto from our time together wasn't our romantic relationship, it was the best friend I'd ever had. And something made me want to tell her that all that work she put into getting my head right wasn't in vain, and I'd finally made it out of the gutter.
So I messaged her on Facebook, and to my surprise she actually responded. We started talking again, and soon it was back to every day. When my baby mama got back on drugs and turned abusive and was putting my daughter's life in jeopardy on a near-daily basis, she was the one who convinced me I could fight for custody - that I had to fight for custody. So I did, and I won, and I've had full custody of of my daughter since she was 6 months old and for the 10 years since.
But eventually we parted ways again. I'd started seeing someone, and part of me knew I couldn't commit to another woman while I was still carrying on with her. Our relationship had started turning romantic again, and she had dropped some hints about old Jack that would come to the forefront later, but she wasn't ready to leave him and I didn't want to be that guy, so I sent her a message explaining why we had to stop talking, apologized, and ghosted her.
7 more years went by after that night. The relationship I abandoned her for soured quickly when I found out that chick was a carbon copy of my baby mama, and I quit dating to focus on my career and raising my daughter. But on the long, 2+ hour commutes each way from work, I often found myself stuck pondering the "what ifs". What if I hadn't ghosted her? What if our age gap wasn't there, and we'd never had to split up to begin with? I knew in my soul I was never going to find someone like her again, but I made peace with it. I imagined her happy life, her kids with Jack, and convinced myself I made the right choice.
Then COVID hit, and near the start of it, I stumbled on a post on reddit about this dude who sent his high school sweetheart a message many years later apologizing for how he treated her and telling her how her presence impacted him, and I thought to myself, "Hey, I did that!". So I started writing a reply, and for the first time told the story of this girl and I. I'd never told a soul about what happened with us, not even my family or closest friends. Maybe it was the stigma of having an online relationship back in those days that carried over, or maybe it was just too personal to share with my friends or family. It got long, so eventually I just decided to start a new thread. When I was done, it was so long I figured no one would ever read it, but I hit submit anyway and put my phone down and got back to work.
Well, I was wrong. People did read it - a lot of people. Soon my phone started blowing up. Thousands of comments, hundreds of DMs, people offering me book deals and asking if they could have the rights for a screenplay or have me on their podcasts. It was fucking surreal, and being generally a private person who tries to fly under the rader, it got overwhelming fast. Eventually I reached out to her again on Facebook, warned her about what happened, and apologized for putting her business out there.
She didn't respond for a couple weeks, and when she did we started talking again almost immediately. And then in mid-April 2020, she told me that she needed to talk to me. She spilled everything, and told me exactly who Jack was. How he would hack into her devices to spy on her, threaten to kill her and her partner if she ever left him, say vile things to her and her daughters, calling the young girls cunts and bitches. How he alienated all her friends and family, and kept them all isolated in the house her parents bought them that he would rarely leave.
And I felt deceived too. All those years I'd convinced myself that she was happy, that she got together with Jack and was living the life she deserved. In reality, Jack intentionally got her pregnant not long after he flew out to her state the first time. He quickly moved into her house, and refused to work or provide not only for her kids or their kids, but for the other 3 children he abandoned in Australia and Canada who he had no relationship with, with 3 different women he victimized in the same manner. When she was 8 months pregnant with their first kid, she was working nights doing hospice care while he sat on his ass playing videogames all night and talking to his ex. In 17 years, this fucking loser with 7 kids by 4 women worked a grand total of 5 weeks, quit his job, claimed he got PTSD from the experience, and somehow manipulated his way into getting SSDI for it. They survived off SSDI and her parents' charity for years.
But Jack was reading all of this, because like I mentioned earlier, he was hacking her devices and watching us talk remotely. Jack knew the jig was up, and slowly started to unravel. She told him she wanted a divorce, and that she was not going to sever her friendship with me again. And he pretended to take that well, going as far as to try to befriend and manipulate me. He tried every trick to keep her he'd done for years - telling her he was going to get help and would change first, then when that failed he made suicide threats and somehow got his therapist to call her and tell her as long as she didn't leave him he wouldn't kill himself, and then he tried to intimidate her. Eventually he went off the rails completely and sexually assaulted her when he thought she was sleeping.
She called me from her parents' house crying the night it happened, and I convinced her to file a police report. She did, and a couple weeks later Jack got removed from the home, served with a protective order, and charged for sexual abuse. This of course did nothing to stop Jack - he broke into their house a couple days later when she and the kids were out to upload a folder of revenge porn to his Google Drive under the guise of wanting to drop off a cake for her birthday.
Then the stalking started. Jack would relentlessly message her all day and night on Facebook, switching between rage, trying to garner sympathy, convince her he would change, and threatening self-harm. We later found out via a cyber forensics report that he was hacking into the laptop she had taken with her while she hid at her parents' and had been so bold as to steal her Victim Impact Statement and send it to all his World of Warcraft buddies as a joke.
And he didn't just stalk her, he came for me too. Constant unauthorized attempts to access my accounts for everything from Windows to my bank, spam calls and emails - shit, the wormy little fuck even got his friends to stalk my social media and pretend to be strangers to gaslight me. I ignored all of it, and he got desperate enough to send me a lovely message attempting to extort and blackmail she and I, claiming he had "all my posts" but wouldn't do anything with them if I called him. The tipping point for me is when he subscribed to my small YouTube channel - which had nothing on it but 3 videos of my daughter. That veiled threat wasn't lost on me.
But Jack fucked up. I don't know if he thought his insane nonsense would scare me off, or if in his delusions he really thought he was the bad mother fucker he convinced himself he was, but Jack didn't know jack about me. I'm a crazy fuck too, and while he was sitting on his fat ass playing World of Warcraft all day every day for the past couple decades, I was selling drugs and hanging with some of the grimiest mother fuckers Baltimore had to offer. I've seen and experienced a lot of real violence outside a computer monitor, and the prospect of a violent resolution to this saga didn't phase me a whole lot. I'd spent years trying to be a better person and avoid conflict, but I sure as shit wasn't afraid of it either. Leading up to this point, I was already trying to calm myself down and talk myself off the ledge and not pack my guns and drive out there to keep watch until the police did their thing and put him away, which took a lot longer than it should have - this fucking guy violated his protective order 80 times in just a couple weeks.
So I called him, and he spent the next 26 minutes crying over the phone like a drunk little bitch, while I tried my best to be kind and to talk him off the ledge. And yes, I did record it, and yes it is hysterical listening to it now in hindsight, and yes I still have the recording. Anyway, I told him he was scaring the shit out of her and the kids, and he promised to leave us alone and I told him if he could chill the fuck out I would try to talk her into giving him more access to the kids. The next day, she got an email from her first ex-husband - Jack had reached out to him with a link to my reddit post trying to get help from him to come after me, which he promptly shut down and sent to her.
The next few weeks were terrifying as Jack descended further into madness and became more scared and desperate. He knew she was gone and not coming back, and he was facing real charges and real jail time, and while Jack is a fucking moron in a lot of ways, I'm sure he knew a fat, greasy computer nerd with a sex offense conviction wasn't going to have a good time in County. Jack was a murder-suicide waiting to happen, the police were doing nothing to stop his stalking, and I felt powerless to help her. Eventually after he sent her $50 over PayPal at 4:00am with what appeared to be a suicide note, I had enough. I called the DA's office, asked them why the fuck this was being allowed to happen, and promised them I'd been taking meticulous notes and if anything happened to her I would be taking it straight to the media. The DA told me if I was going to make threats the conversation was over, but sure enough he was finally arrested not long after.
Ironically we had remained platonic friends through most of this, but the shared experience of dealing with this psycho brought us closer together and things quickly changed. We knew he wasn't going to stop when he got out of jail, I felt responsible for her safety after my stupid reddit post started this chain of events that led to Jack's unraveling, and with the world seemingly coming apart during COVID, decided if we were ever going to meet it felt like it was now or never. So I booked a plane ticket across the country, spent a week with her and her family, and a few days after I came home she flew out to visit me and meet my family.
We went into it with no expectations. I fully accepted we might not click and our relationship would go back to being platonic. For my part, I just wanted the closure of finally meeting this person who had such a profound impact on my life before COVID mutated or something and killed us all.
But we did click, and the next two weeks were life-changing. I met and cooked for her entire extended family the day after I arrived, and it went well. While I was there I got her mom's email address, and after I went home I had an idea. I knew her parents had met in DC, so I emailed her mom and asked her for a list of places that were special to her, and she told me about the church her parents had met in. I asked her to keep our conversation secret so it would be a surprise, and she did.
So when she comes out to the east coast, I take her on a tour through DC and park the car a few blocks down the street from the church. As we're walking by, she notices the church and comments on how beautiful it is.
I keep it cool and respond, "Yeah, that's a pretty important place.".
She looks at me and says, "Oh? Why's that?".
"That's where your parents met.".
She audibly gasps, giddily bounces a bit, starts to cry, and we pulled down our masks (fuckin covid) and kiss. Her reaction is easily one of the greatest memories in my life. What I didn't know at the time, was that her parents had told her about that church since she and her siblings were kids. When the church changed denominations, the church took the angel statue off the top and brought it back to her home state, and her parents had taken them to see it a few times throughout her childhood.
Anyway, getting sidetracked here, the sappy love story stuff is a different story altogether.
A month after we met for the first time, I had quit my job, sold everything I couldn't fit in my sedan, and she flew back out and drove across the country with my daughter and I.
Sounds crazy as hell, and it was, but it worked out better than it should have. I got a good job making more than I did back home right away, her kids loved me, and my daughter loved her and adjusted to her new home fast. And by the time Jack got out of jail for felony cyberstalking, sexual abuse, and Intimidation of a Witness in a Domestic Violence case, we had cameras all over the house, and I had taught my fiancee how to shoot - which she quickly became better than me at.
But Jack's time in jail didn't slow him down, and the 2-10 year suspended sentence didn't deter him at all. As a matter of fact, on his first day out one of the first things he did was start trying to hack her accounts again. He managed to con an elderly couple he knew threw World of Warcraft from a different state into letting him live with them, and from there he spent a lot of time and energy stalking us and hacking our devices to the best of his ability. He also convinced these poor, very stupid elderly people from his videogame to bankroll a lengthy, expensive divorce. Somehow a man who hadn't worked in almost 20 years managed to run us into over $50,000 in legal fees in two years. How a marriage with zero assets turned into a two year battle when both parties were officially in poverty before the divorce, or how the family courts never saw through the bullshit is beyond me.
To Jack's credit, he did a pretty good job remaining a thorn in our side. Largely due to the complete and utter ineptitude and indifference of the police and District Attorney who could and should have put a stop to his bullshit at any point in that time. Old Jack got hit with a permanent criminal stalking injunction and a 10-year protective order along with his probation, and no amount of effort on our part would get the police, DA, or probation to put a stop to it, despite mountains of evidence.
He successfully managed to draw the divorce out right up to the wedding we planned a year and a half prior, with his attorney putting in motion after motion to delay the process. With all our family and friends coming from all over the country and as far away as Japan, we accepted our wedding would just be a celebration and not an official wedding. Until the night before the wedding, she got a call from her attorney - he had made a call to the clerk's office at the court and got her to move the paperwork to finalize the divorce to the top of the pile, and she was officially divorced. Our wedding would be a real wedding after all, and despite Jack's best efforts, he lost again. We had the wedding on a remote ranch that we rented for a week, and foolishly decided to cater and decorate ourselves, which would have been a colossal undertaking without the extra 4 hours to drive into town and get our marriage certificate at the courthouse. But we pulled it off and it was everything we could have hoped for and then some, and we were officially married.
Jack of course didn't stop after the divorce was finalized. The list of shit he tried to do to us before and after that is too long to spell out in an already too long post, but here are some choice bits:
He wrote a demented letter to the oldest of his kids with her who severed her relationship with him, calling my wife and her mother "vipers and cowards" and promising we would "answer for what we've done sooner or later".
He continuously hacked our computers, miscellaneous accounts tied to our emails, and any other devices he could get into - dropping in remotely via Amazon Alexa, phones, etc.
He set up bots to send us thousands of spam emails, sign us up for dozens of international newsletters all at once, and requests for consultations for things like solar panel installations.
He told the kids vile lies about my wife and I, although the most egregious was when he used a court-ordered therapy appointment with his second oldest daughter to accuse me of distributing child porn, told the therapist I am an "evil man", and told him I wasn't safe to be around his daughters. This led to her being forensically interviewed by the police, where she spelled out what happened, but of course they did nothing.
He gave the two youngest children cell phones to sneak into our house, with Google accounts activated and location tracking turned on.
He sent packages to our house 5 times in the space of a few months, one of which was addressed to himself and contained nothing but a bag of Stevia and a pack of gum. These packages generally came to our door the day before his scheduled visitation with the kids.
During this time my bank account was hacked four times in the span of just a few months with nearly identical fraudulent charges. In each of these instances, I had completely changed my bank account information.
He filed false reports with CPS twice, alleging we were beating the children, locking them in the closet, and not feeding or bathing them. This led to a CPS agent coming to our house to investigate.
We brought all this to the police over and over as it happened, and they did nothing. The DA running the case wasted 5 months subpoenaing a fake email address that we told them when we reported it was fake and spoofed. After finding out about that, we went to the DA's office to find out what the fuck was going on. A Victim's Advocate met with us, and was horrified about how the case was handled, looked up the prosecutor assigned to the case, rolled her eyes and said "Oh...it's Stephanie", confirming what we already knew - this prosecutor was completely incompetent, an elect3d politician moonlighting as a prosecutor. She called us the next day to tell us the actual DA called a meeting and a warrant was put out for Jack's arrest. For some inexplicable reason, they pulled the warrant back, and the advocate told us it was because the DA was pursuing more serious charges.
Then, they stonewalled us. The Victim's Advocate we had met with that actually tried to help us was moved off our case, and the new one assigned refused to talk to us or return our calls. The few exchanges we had with her, she made it abundantly clear she had the DA Office's interests in mind and not ours. We decided to just stay quiet and let the process play out and hope for the best, up until we received an email on Friday night before Election Day from the Detective telling us Stephanie had closed the case. I assume she didn't want her incompetence coming to light, and didn't want to shut the case down before Election Day knowing we would be on the warpath.
Eventually, Jack caught wind that he was officially under criminal investigation, but clearly had no idea they were never going to press charges. He got quiet for a bit, until he was ultimately let off probation early. We still get the occasional reminder he's out there watching, but his fear of going back to jail and the belief it might happen cowed him a bit. So instead he harasses us through the family courts, filing constant bullshit motions with no evidence to support them, and for some reason the courts let it continue. Somehow a man who makes ~$800 from SSDI and is only paying $30 a month total to support his 3 kids with my wife is able to fund tens of thousands of dollars worth of legal proceedings every year, and no one in the family courts has ever stopped to ask how he is paying for it or why all this money isn't being spent on supporting these children.
But despite Jack's best efforts, his bullshit hasn't worked. My wife and I have been together for four years soon, and married for two. His kids call me dad and hate his guts, only seeing him because the courts force them to. I continue to advance in my career, landing two major promotions in the past 2 years and now running a division in one of the largest companies in my field in this part of the country. I just enrolled in college to go back to school and get a degree in family law with a focus on domestic violence. The most frustrating part of the whole experience with ol' Jack was having no one to turn to when all the institutions who were supposed to keep this from happening ignored us, and even though I'll be well into my mid 40's before I accomplish my new goals, I plan to advocate for domestic violence victims and do everything I can to lobby for change to these laws to keep as many people as I can from going through what my wife and I did. I learned that the only way to beat these people at their game is to play on the same field right along with them, and that's what I intend to do.
My wife went back to work too once she healed from some of the trauma, making $30 an hour as a personal assistant for a fella who's had two movies made about his life. Our kids struggled a bit with school and dealing with all their biological parents' issues, but they quickly turned it around and have been excelling. We're all happy, healthy, and doing better now than ever.
As for Jack? Well, he's pushing 50 and still spending his days alone, playing World of Warcraft and jerking off in this old couple's basement. Nothing has changed there, and now he's too fat, old, and visibly an enormous fucking loser to victimize women in the same way he did in his youth. I have no doubts he'll find another victim eventually, probably when these old weirdos bankrolling his life now finally wise up, but one thing Jack forgets is that karma is a mother fucker, and I have a giant database of evidence that I can and will send out to whoever I please to help pull that mask down and keep him from doing this to someone else. Nothing is more appealing to a potential love interest than hearing their man cry like a drunk bitch for 26 minutes to the man he claims stole his wife, while simultaneously admitting to sexually assaulting said wife.
As wonderful as it would have been for Jack to go to prison where he can't hurt anyone again, there is some catharsis knowing Jack will forever be in a prison of his own making. His children want nothing to do with him, and he'll never see them graduate or walk them down the aisle. Jack will die miserable and alone, and in his narcissistic delusion will still be blaming everyone else for the colossal failure of his life, while continuing to fail to grasp the one thread that ties all his misery together - himself.
And since he somehow manages to find and stalk most of my social media, I'd wager Jack will end up reading this too. I hope he does in all honesty. And Jack, if you are reading this, I want you to know that you can kick, flail, manipulate and lie, cry and complain until you're red in the face. None of it matters. You don't matter. You'll leave this world alone, as sad and bitter as you are now, and the world will be a better place for it.

I'm no saint, and I've learned my own tough lessons from the internet. I grew up under not-so-great circumstances, only getting 5 years of education before I turned 18 and was largely raised by a computer screen. Along the way, I catfished a woman in her mid-20's when I was 14-16 years old. It wasn't intentional at first, I told everyone that I was in my mid-20's and I worked as a bouncer at a bar in NYC. I never meant any harm, I was just raised by a computer and spent all my time alone playing MMOs and learned quickly that if I told people how old I was, they'd stop playing with me. So a bouncer seemed like a job I could bullshit about easily enough, and I was a big dude at 6'1 260lbs so I figured I could maybe pass it off as legit if it ever got hectic.
I started playing with this woman in her 20's and her husband frequently. We became friends fast, and soon we were virtually inseparable on the game. Her marriage ended up not working out, and after they separated she told me she had feelings for me. I should've admitted I wasn't who I said I was then, but I was young and dumb and she was the only real friend I had, so I kept up the ruse. Eventually I did come clean, and she broke it off with me not long after. We stayed friends, albeit with my heart hurting pretty bad, for a few months afterwards - until she met Jack.
When she first told me about Jack, he sounded like a great catch. He had his own IT business in Canada, was a couple years older but not by much, and she was infatuated with him. Obviously I was crushed and didn't handle it well, being a practically feral teenager at the time, so not long after they started getting serious she ghosted me altogether. I was around 17 at the time, and shit started going off the rails for me. After I got out of juvie, I started drinking heavily on a near-daily basis and selling and doing drugs. This led to a lot of pathetic, inebriated, desperate attempts to contact her and apologize for how I acted.
After months of being ignored, eventually grief and regret turned to anger, and finally acceptance. When the pain passed and I came to my senses a bit, I had an epiphany and realized that if I loved her as much as I thought I did, the best thing for both of us would be to let her go. I was a high school dropout with no job, selling drugs to get by. She had 2 kids, and what kind of life could I provide for them? She made the right choice, my age and the fact I made a grown woman fall in love with a teenager not withstanding, and as bad as it hurt I realized it was selfish of me not to accept the way things were and leave her alone, so I did.
10 years or so later, I had gotten my shit together. Worked my way up from cleaning dead shit out of swimming pools, to an entry level position at an environmental consulting firm, to a Project Manager at one of the largest firms in the field in the DC area. I'd met someone, got her pregnant, and for some reason I felt a pull to contact her again. Not to rekindle an old flame, but because she had been a tremendously positive influence on my life in a time where I had few. She was the first good thing I had in my life at a time when I was sleeping on old blankets on a hard floor in an abusive home, and what I'd held onto from our time together wasn't our romantic relationship, it was the best friend I'd ever had. And something made me want to tell her that all that work she put into getting my head right wasn't in vain, and I'd finally made it out of the gutter.
So I messaged her on Facebook, and to my surprise she actually responded. We started talking again, and soon it was back to every day. When my baby mama got back on drugs and turned abusive and was putting my daughter's life in jeopardy on a near-daily basis, she was the one who convinced me I could fight for custody - that I had to fight for custody. So I did, and I won, and I've had full custody of of my daughter since she was 6 months old and for the 10 years since.
But eventually we parted ways again. I'd started seeing someone, and part of me knew I couldn't commit to another woman while I was still carrying on with her. Our relationship had started turning romantic again, and she had dropped some hints about old Jack that would come to the forefront later, but she wasn't ready to leave him and I didn't want to be that guy, so I sent her a message explaining why we had to stop talking, apologized, and ghosted her.
7 more years went by after that night. The relationship I abandoned her for soured quickly when I found out that chick was a carbon copy of my baby mama, and I quit dating to focus on my career and raising my daughter. But on the long, 2+ hour commutes each way from work, I often found myself stuck pondering the "what ifs". What if I hadn't ghosted her? What if our age gap wasn't there, and we'd never had to split up to begin with? I knew in my soul I was never going to find someone like her again, but I made peace with it. I imagined her happy life, her kids with Jack, and convinced myself I made the right choice.
Then COVID hit, and near the start of it, I stumbled on a post on reddit about this dude who sent his high school sweetheart a message many years later apologizing for how he treated her and telling her how her presence impacted him, and I thought to myself, "Hey, I did that!". So I started writing a reply, and for the first time told the story of this girl and I. I'd never told a soul about what happened with us, not even my family or closest friends. Maybe it was the stigma of having an online relationship back in those days that carried over, or maybe it was just too personal to share with my friends or family. It got long, so eventually I just decided to start a new thread. When I was done, it was so long I figured no one would ever read it, but I hit submit anyway and put my phone down and got back to work.
Well, I was wrong. People did read it - a lot of people. Soon my phone started blowing up. Thousands of comments, hundreds of DMs, people offering me book deals and asking if they could have the rights for a screenplay or have me on their podcasts. It was fucking surreal, and being generally a private person who tries to fly under the rader, it got overwhelming fast. Eventually I reached out to her again on Facebook, warned her about what happened, and apologized for putting her business out there.
She didn't respond for a couple weeks, and when she did we started talking again almost immediately. And then in mid-April 2020, she told me that she needed to talk to me. She spilled everything, and told me exactly who Jack was. How he would hack into her devices to spy on her, threaten to kill her and her partner if she ever left him, say vile things to her and her daughters, calling the young girls cunts and bitches. How he alienated all her friends and family, and kept them all isolated in the house her parents bought them that he would rarely leave.
And I felt deceived too. All those years I'd convinced myself that she was happy, that she got together with Jack and was living the life she deserved. In reality, Jack intentionally got her pregnant not long after he flew out to her state the first time. He quickly moved into her house, and refused to work or provide not only for her kids or their kids, but for the other 3 children he abandoned in Australia and Canada who he had no relationship with, with 3 different women he victimized in the same manner. When she was 8 months pregnant with their first kid, she was working nights doing hospice care while he sat on his ass playing videogames all night and talking to his ex. In 17 years, this fucking loser with 7 kids by 4 women worked a grand total of 5 weeks, quit his job, claimed he got PTSD from the experience, and somehow manipulated his way into getting SSDI for it. They survived off SSDI and her parents' charity for years.
But Jack was reading all of this, because like I mentioned earlier, he was hacking her devices and watching us talk remotely. Jack knew the jig was up, and slowly started to unravel. She told him she wanted a divorce, and that she was not going to sever her friendship with me again. And he pretended to take that well, going as far as to try to befriend and manipulate me. He tried every trick to keep her he'd done for years - telling her he was going to get help and would change first, then when that failed he made suicide threats and somehow got his therapist to call her and tell her as long as she didn't leave him he wouldn't kill himself, and then he tried to intimidate her. Eventually he went off the rails completely and sexually assaulted her when he thought she was sleeping.
She called me from her parents' house crying the night it happened, and I convinced her to file a police report. She did, and a couple weeks later Jack got removed from the home, served with a protective order, and charged for sexual abuse. This of course did nothing to stop Jack - he broke into their house a couple days later when she and the kids were out to upload a folder of revenge porn to his Google Drive under the guise of wanting to drop off a cake for her birthday.
Then the stalking started. Jack would relentlessly message her all day and night on Facebook, switching between rage, trying to garner sympathy, convince her he would change, and threatening self-harm. We later found out via a cyber forensics report that he was hacking into the laptop she had taken with her while she hid at her parents' and had been so bold as to steal her Victim Impact Statement and send it to all his World of Warcraft buddies as a joke.
And he didn't just stalk her, he came for me too. Constant unauthorized attempts to access my accounts for everything from Windows to my bank, spam calls and emails - shit, the wormy little fuck even got his friends to stalk my social media and pretend to be strangers to gaslight me. I ignored all of it, and he got desperate enough to send me a lovely message attempting to extort and blackmail she and I, claiming he had "all my posts" but wouldn't do anything with them if I called him. The tipping point for me is when he subscribed to my small YouTube channel - which had nothing on it but 3 videos of my daughter. That veiled threat wasn't lost on me.
But Jack fucked up. I don't know if he thought his insane nonsense would scare me off, or if in his delusions he really thought he was the bad mother fucker he convinced himself he was, but Jack didn't know jack about me. I'm a crazy fuck too, and while he was sitting on his fat ass playing World of Warcraft all day every day for the past couple decades, I was selling drugs and hanging with some of the grimiest mother fuckers Baltimore had to offer. I've seen and experienced a lot of real violence outside a computer monitor, and the prospect of a violent resolution to this saga didn't phase me a whole lot. I'd spent years trying to be a better person and avoid conflict, but I sure as shit wasn't afraid of it either. Leading up to this point, I was already trying to calm myself down and talk myself off the ledge and not pack my guns and drive out there to keep watch until the police did their thing and put him away, which took a lot longer than it should have - this fucking guy violated his protective order 80 times in just a couple weeks.
So I called him, and he spent the next 26 minutes crying over the phone like a drunk little bitch, while I tried my best to be kind and to talk him off the ledge. And yes, I did record it, and yes it is hysterical listening to it now in hindsight, and yes I still have the recording. Anyway, I told him he was scaring the shit out of her and the kids, and he promised to leave us alone and I told him if he could chill the fuck out I would try to talk her into giving him more access to the kids. The next day, she got an email from her first ex-husband - Jack had reached out to him with a link to my reddit post trying to get help from him to come after me, which he promptly shut down and sent to her.
The next few weeks were terrifying as Jack descended further into madness and became more scared and desperate. He knew she was gone and not coming back, and he was facing real charges and real jail time, and while Jack is a fucking moron in a lot of ways, I'm sure he knew a fat, greasy computer nerd with a sex offense conviction wasn't going to have a good time in County. Jack was a murder-suicide waiting to happen, the police were doing nothing to stop his stalking, and I felt powerless to help her. Eventually after he sent her $50 over PayPal at 4:00am with what appeared to be a suicide note, I had enough. I called the DA's office, asked them why the fuck this was being allowed to happen, and promised them I'd been taking meticulous notes and if anything happened to her I would be taking it straight to the media. The DA told me if I was going to make threats the conversation was over, but sure enough he was finally arrested not long after.
Ironically we had remained platonic friends through most of this, but the shared experience of dealing with this psycho brought us closer together and things quickly changed. We knew he wasn't going to stop when he got out of jail, I felt responsible for her safety after my stupid reddit post started this chain of events that led to Jack's unraveling, and with the world seemingly coming apart during COVID, decided if we were ever going to meet it felt like it was now or never. So I booked a plane ticket across the country, spent a week with her and her family, and a few days after I came home she flew out to visit me and meet my family.
We went into it with no expectations. I fully accepted we might not click and our relationship would go back to being platonic. For my part, I just wanted the closure of finally meeting this person who had such a profound impact on my life before COVID mutated or something and killed us all.
But we did click, and the next two weeks were life-changing. I met and cooked for her entire extended family the day after I arrived, and it went well. While I was there I got her mom's email address, and after I went home I had an idea. I knew her parents had met in DC, so I emailed her mom and asked her for a list of places that were special to her, and she told me about the church her parents had met in. I asked her to keep our conversation secret so it would be a surprise, and she did.
So when she comes out to the east coast, I take her on a tour through DC and park the car a few blocks down the street from the church. As we're walking by, she notices the church and comments on how beautiful it is.
I keep it cool and respond, "Yeah, that's a pretty important place.".
She looks at me and says, "Oh? Why's that?".
"That's where your parents met.".
She audibly gasps, giddily bounces a bit, starts to cry, and we pulled down our masks (fuckin covid) and kiss. Her reaction is easily one of the greatest memories in my life. What I didn't know at the time, was that her parents had told her about that church since she and her siblings were kids. When the church changed denominations, the church took the angel statue off the top and brought it back to her home state, and her parents had taken them to see it a few times throughout her childhood.

Somehow a man who makes ~$800 from SSDI and is only paying $30 a month total to support his 3 kids with my wife is able to fund tens of thousands of dollars worth of legal proceedings every year, and no one in the family courts has ever stopped to ask how he is paying for it or why all this money isn't being spent on supporting these children.
But despite Jack's best efforts, his bullshit hasn't worked. My wife and I have been together for four years soon, and married for two. His kids call me dad and hate his guts, only seeing him because the courts force them to. I continue to advance in my career, landing two major promotions in the past 2 years and now running a division in one of the largest companies in my field in this part of the country. I just enrolled in college to go back to school and get a degree in family law with a focus on domestic violence. The most frustrating part of the whole experience with ol' Jack was having no one to turn to when all the institutions who were supposed to keep this from happening ignored us, and even though I'll be well into my mid 40's before I accomplish my new goals, I plan to advocate for domestic violence victims and do everything I can to lobby for change to these laws to keep as many people as I can from going through what my wife and I did. I learned that the only way to beat these people at their game is to play on the same field right along with them, and that's what I intend to do.
My wife went back to work too once she healed from some of the trauma, making $30 an hour as a personal assistant for a fella who's had two movies made about his life. Our kids struggled a bit with school and dealing with all their biological parents' issues, but they quickly turned it around and have been excelling. We're all happy, healthy, and doing better now than ever.
As for Jack? Well, he's pushing 50 and still spending his days alone, playing World of Warcraft and jerking off in this old couple's basement. Nothing has changed there, and now he's too fat, old, and visibly an enormous fucking loser to victimize women in the same way he did in his youth. I have no doubts he'll find another victim eventually, probably when these old weirdos bankrolling his life now finally wise up, but one thing Jack forgets is that karma is a mother fucker, and I have a giant database of evidence that I can and will send out to whoever I please to help pull that mask down and keep him from doing this to someone else. Nothing is more appealing to a potential love interest than hearing their man cry like a drunk bitch for 26 minutes to the man he claims stole his wife, while simultaneously admitting to sexually assaulting said wife.
As wonderful as it would have been for Jack to go to prison where he can't hurt anyone again, there is some catharsis knowing Jack will forever be in a prison of his own making. His children want nothing to do with him, and he'll never see them graduate or walk them down the aisle. Jack will die miserable and alone, and in his narcissistic delusion will still be blaming everyone else for the colossal failure of his life, while continuing to fail to grasp the one thread that ties all his misery together - himself.
And since he somehow manages to find and stalk most of my social media, I'd wager Jack will end up reading this too. I hope he does in all honesty. And Jack, if you are reading this, I want you to know that you can kick, flail, manipulate and lie, cry and complain until you're red in the face. None of it matters. You don't matter. You'll leave this world alone, as sad and bitter as you are now, and the world will be a better place for it.

My new thoughts on the case
So I've just finished a really amazing documentary about the case on YouTube which for me is even better than the Netflix show. Providing new evidence and interviews I'd never seem previously.Here's some of my thoughts on the case.
I think the way Shanann was always on Facebook documenting every aspect of their lives would drive me insane but seeing how much she loved him and actively wanted him to hold her and kiss her and hug her showed she was a very loving person. I also don't believe his parents that she was this horrible person to many testify she was lovely.
Speaking of his parents. His mother especially is absolutely disgusting. Is she in love with her son? Vile woman who blames Shanann and almost tries to justify what Chris did to his family.
I'll never understand after everything I've just seen how he has so many females admirers sending him sexual photos and letters. What is wrong with people?
The murder of his children and how he disposed of them. He's nothing more than a monster. Jail is to good for him.

2024.05.15 12:21 Itchy-Rooster-4571 KunstUrhG § 22 and StGB § 201a
I have asked similar to this before but I recently went to NRW for a week and found myself very paranoid about photos in general. Years ago on previous trips I had no knowledge of German image laws so didn't have the same paranoia.
I don't know if I let it affect my trip unnecessarily but am I right in my understanding of the law in this way?
KunstUrhG §22. Realistically doesn't apply to taking pictures in public only sharing them. If someone is incidental or unrecognisable to your photo then no infringement applies. If they are the focus of the photo and you didn't get permission and somehow they find the photo online some day they could ask you to remove it and if they really insist they can go through legal channels and get a cease and dissist letter sent.
If they don't do this step first it could be complex further down the line to sue. Any attempt to sue over the image will delve into a complex Web of rights balances and public interest and artistic value etc. I think I'm fairly correct that basically... it'll never apply to anyone taking tourist pics or sharing random photos of whatever and whenever on Facebook or with friends.
Second question though... StGB § 201a is new, I think its an attempt to deal with revenge porn but it has some funny examples. It's illegal and punishable by a fine or prison sentence to take pictures of someone in a vulnerable state without consent an example given is someone who is too drunk to look after themselves.
Both legislations require a complaint from the person in the image.
So my question really.. do these laws actually affect anyone in real life ? Are people going to prison for taking a picture of a drunk dude asleep on a train or posting their mate Timo on facebook who fell asleep in a bar on his birthday?
Because a lot of aspects of the relevant legislation seem uncomfortably over zealous to me. Things I never would have considered to have legal implications apparently have quite possible legal outcomes in Germany.
Any discussion of the above in threads I've seen so far either say don't worry none of these laws affect most people in real life or on the flip they try to suggest that the only thing you can safely take a picture of and share it is the floor in your hotel room.
Thoughts and opinions?

2024.05.15 10:12 Silver_Problem5229 Would it be creepy to reach out to an old teacher by sending a letter to them with an address you found online?
Even typing the question in the title sounded creepy lol but I'll give some background information: I'm about to graduate high school and go to college. I was an 8th grader in middle school in 2020 and then the pandmeic happened and I never saw that school or any of the teachers again. In 8th grade I had this one teacher who I looked up to so dearly. She was grumpy and mean to everyone else but for some reason kind to me. We talked more than her other students. When I got a boyfriend she would ask me about him and even told him once that I reminded her of a younger version of herself (he wasn't even one of her students she just stopped him to say that to him). I struggled so much mentally when I was that age and going to school was so hard for me but she always made it better.
I believe March 13, 2020 was the last day most people had school before everything went crazy but ours was the day before because a pipe or something broke in the school. That day we were going to be sent home early because of the pipe breaking and we had to wait in our classroom for the buses to come pick us up. There were only a few kids left (including me) waiting for the bus to come. My teacher went to another classroom to talk to a teacher and brought back my boyfriend to let us sit together while we waited and that was the last time I ever saw her :(
I think of her a lot still to this day. I'm so sad I never had a chance to tell her how much she meant to me. She helped me through such a hard time in my life and I wish she knew. I really want her to know how much she inspires me still to this day and I feel like this is a good time since I'm about to graduate.
This is when we get to the question in the title. I grew up in a small town and I don't live there anymore and after covid I did online school and I have since then. To find her I looked up the school I used to go to and I tried to see if there was somewhere I could email her but she doesn't seem to work at that school anymore. She has a very unique name so I looked her up to see if she was on facebook or anything but she wasn't. I did, however, find an address on one of those public record websites when I searched her name. She doesn't live in the town I used to live anymore but she does live close to it. In the previous addresses the town I used to live in is listed. I believe this is her because like I said she has a very unique name and the age listed sounds correct. Even if it isn't her I would still like to try.
Would it be creepy to send a letter to the address I found online? She's quite old so I don't want to put it off until like 20 years when she possibly isn't here anymore. She helped me through so much and she's the only teacher I've felt a connection to. She was never anything but kind to me and I just want to thank her. Even if there's a chance it isn't her I would still like to try. What would you do? :)

Hi everyone,
I'm seeking advice regarding obtaining a residence permit for our newborn baby. Here are the details:
Thank you in advance for your help!
submitted by Creative-Wall-9464 to TillSverige [link] [comments]
I'm seeking advice regarding obtaining a residence permit for our newborn baby. Here are the details:
- I hold a working permit, and my wife is here as my dependent. Both of us have personal IDs registered with Skatteverket.
- Our baby was born on 13th May 2024. However, the baby has only been assigned a "Barnets reservnr" with the format 20240513XXXX, where the X's are alphabetic letters (e.g., 20240513ABCD), instead of the typical personal ID ending in four digits.
Thank you in advance for your help!
2024.05.15 09:55 Gh0st4rt1st Attempting to learn to write in Galactic Avali Scratch.
 | Sooo as title says, lately out of boredom I was attempting to learn to write in Galactic Avali Scratch that is mentioned in Todd's Avali Guidebook (sorry that I don't remember exact name of book). There are still few lines of certain letters that are still tricky to write consistently but by now I am almost capable to write without needing to cross check with that book. The second image is from my one notebook where I am writing random facts about Moon and it's phases and third image is the reference Galactic Avali Scratch alphabet. So far I love that this font flows well once rythm is caught when writing (yes I noticed odd rythmicallity and musicality of the Scratch), that it is satisfying to write it with glass dip pen/fountain pen and for curiosity, I used last Diamine Golden Sands ink that I have. I hope I did not screw up especially with vertical writing in smol Leuchtturm notebook :'D. submitted by Gh0st4rt1st to avali [link] [comments] |
2024.05.15 06:34 PigDoctor My (Almost) Complete Zombie Alphabet!
Hello all! I came here the other day asking for help finding 10 additional zombie movies to bring my list up to 100. With all your recommendations, I far surpassed that. And as I've been watching these movies, I realized I’ve watched at least one movie for each letter. There are tons of alphabetized lists of zombie movies, but I thought it would be fun to list my personal zombie alphabet, by picking my top choice for each letter.
Note: I’m not counting the word “the” in titles. So, for example, The Return of the Living Dead would fall under “R”.
Without further ado:
Runner up: A Little Bit Zombie (2012)
Runner up: The Battery (2012)
Runner up: Contracted (2013)
Runner up: Day of the Dead (1985)
Runner up: Final Cut (2022)
Runner up: I Walked With a Zombie (1948)
Runner up: Life After Beth (2014)
Runner up: Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Runner up: Pontypool (2008)
Runner up: [REC] (2007)
Runner up: Shaun of the Dead (2004)
Runner up: White Zombie (1932)
Runner up: Zombieland (2009)
What would your zombie alphabet look like? Are there any on here that you would switch out for another movie?

2024.05.15 06:21 LuciferSam19 Scammer sent me $500 to buy Apple Gift cards
So I was looking for a job, Found a person advertising a customer service agent job on Facebook. This person referred me to a Telegram Chat of the Restaurant that has the job opening. A basic af Q&A was conducted, HR Person asked me to write 5 apology emails on their behalf and send it via a newly created email ID. I did that. Then he said for some "special customers" they want to compensate by buying Apple Gift cards, 5 of them and $100 each. Said they'll send me the money and I'll have to buy the cards. Emailed me a $500 cheque, I encashed it. Money is now in my account. I said I would need a letter of authorisation/ Appointment letter to use these funds, now he started panicking and msgs started seeming very bot-like. Refuses to send the letter, the Email used by him also is a typo-filled name of the Restaurant. Now he's asked me to eTransfer the money to a "supplier" who can buy the gift cards, but I'm sort of leading him on for the day. Told him I can mail the money by cheque to the actual Restaurant owners, he's denying it profusely. What do I do? Should I keep the money or return it? Has anyone dealt with this sort of scam where you get the money first??
P.S. Chat is on Telegram so can be deleted forever for both parties. And he only has my Full name and email address. Thats it.

2024.05.15 05:17 Codeseven58 simple thoughts on irritability.... (journaling)
so irritable. impatient. don't want to have to take the extra time to explain things. people should already know this. it's obvious, isn't it? example. my kids in 2nd grade. i have him working in a 2nd grade workbook i got from barns and nobles. he was supposed to put 7 words in alphabetical order. he did 6 of them correctly but the 7th started with a B and I said it wasn't right. i told him to tell me why but he couldnt. he couldn't figure out why it wasn't right. he kept asking me for help but i kept telling him i wasn't going to help him because it was too easy. all he needed to do was look at the first letter of each word and see that the last word he wrote down needs to really be the 3rd. that's it.
im not looking for parenting advice. this is the kind of irritability i deal with on a daily basis. anybody have thoughts on how to deal with this kind of irritability?

2024.05.15 04:14 MaximumApartment8576 first roo & looking for friends, buddies & pals !!! (long post lol)
hello friends!!! as the title states, this year will be my first bonnaroo and i’m going solooo💃🏼 so i wanna make friends!! i figured here might be a good place to start lol.
i originally had the idea of possibly finding penpals through this subreddit (i.e. exchanging messages here, some emails and then actual handwritten letter penpals ahahaha). unfortunately this idea came kinda late into the game seeing as we are only a month away from the fest.
sooo i was thinking if anyone was interested, we could still be email penpals and then meet up at bonnaroo once we’re there!? orrr if anyone camping in the beyond is interested, we could set up camp together!??
a lil be about me: - i am 24 at the time of writing this, but i will be 25 by bonnaroo (birthday is this saturday!!!🥳) - i go by she/they pronouns; i am a seasoned vet in the alphabet soup community🫡 i just don’t go by any labels, honestly they scare me lol. feels like i’m putting myself in a box that i never fit quite right into - for my astrology girliessss: i am a taurus sun, cancer moon, leo rising 🌞 - i have too many hobbies & could never name them all but the biggest ones: painting, kayaking, hiking, attending concerts/shows, photography, writing/poetry, stargazing, laying in bed with my cats & dog - i think the best way to describe me as a person is hippie dippy redneck, with two scoops of rock n roll & a sprinkle of headbanging basshead
things i’m looking forward to most about roo: - setting up my camp to look super cute, i already have a bunch of decorations saved that i gotta order soon lol - experiencing a camping festival for the first time - i have some vvv cute outfits planned !!! - the line up goes crazy?!!?! (artists i would like tk see in no particular order: post malone, grouplove, megan thee stallion, svdden death, ashnikko, chappell roan, red hot chili peppers, t-pain, and so many more but i don’t feel like typing that much LOL) - so. many. things.
if you’re still here after reading the mini novel that is this post, pls be my friend 😂😭
