Some SOF lore things (this may be a bit random because I'm too lazy to put everything right)

Ulacylon my beloved (i will crush your skull if you call it ulaycon)

Ahem

Sooo... the story of all this devilry called Ulacylon Megagroup Corp.

This is not enough because I’m too lazy to add this, but I think it’s clear to everyone here that this is a corporation that organizes hunger games among contestants (AKA prisoners who were imprisoned for life or execution).

The guys called RIS want to save the contestants from these games because blah blah blah it’s a bad corporation and it needs to be destroyed for this.

At the same time, this corporation invented warp teleports and stimulants, which can be seen in SOF or this game, etc.

Something about teleporting and DS hardsuits:
Archex — Today at 3:39 PM nope and now thinking about it i probably don't have an icon for em only an initial idea also i completely forgot to answer that sorry but how warp tech works is involving anchors (not to be confused with the ones in AA) an anchor is exactly that by name, it's a way to anchor a position in space, kind of like sending xyz coordinates to a console except instead of xyz it's more like the entire alphabet + 1000 more and is practically impossible for humans to calculate or even give accurate coordinates two anchors are needed and then a mainline warp console teleportation is not a thing where you can just warp anywhere you want and do mid combat shit, that stuff is very high end tech that while it does exist in limited forms it's practically only used by military because it's completely unnecessary most external suits e.g hardsuits, RIS suits have anchors inbuilt on them usually by the legs mainly because hardsuits are not used for combat purposes and are hazard suits they have an anchor on them and a second anchor basically at the safe zone
Arbiter / AMX-011M — Today at 3:43 PM I see, I see theoretically, "combat hardsuits" would exist too, right?
Archex — Today at 3:44 PM as long as they're two anchors a warp console is able to effectively displace them and that's what causes the warping effect and yes however it's a myth hardsuits, specifically when i say hardsuit i refer to the ones you see in SOF/DW you commonly know as the "DS hardsuit" are not combat suits, they have always been hazard suits and could barely even tank a rifle round, infact one would probably penetrate it instantly no red colour hardsuit was never used in these hazard environment it's always been other colours such as green, yellow, blue etc the red hardsuit is a tale about a hardsuit made for combat and used by ulacylon deathsquads whether or not these death squads actually exist nobody knows because it's just a sort of fairy tale spread around ulacylon assuming with 100% certainty they do exist
Arbiter / AMX-011M — Today at 3:46 PM woah... ok that's kinda deep
Archex — Today at 3:46 PM the red hard suits would yes be built for combat able to stop several rifle rounds before being unusable but that's only if the theory of deathsquads exist and it makes sense that it would be like that anyone who has seen the death squads wouldn't even be alive to tell the tale and just the notion that they may exist puts fear into the enemy not saying they don't

but whether or not they're real is up to speculation, they're a fairy tale amongst ulacylon staff.

Turf War: The winners were RIS

Contestants VS Ulacylon: The winners were DS (bcuz lol its just some shitters with nothing fighting damn corp with cool technology)

Rayzen (escaped contestant that we can see in UMG:R) is engineer who created shrapnel grenade and decimator (AKA Merci-Less Burden or original pulverizer from killing floor 2)

I'm a big patriot of Ulacylon and no matter what, I will be faithful until my death

Zealot Void my beloved

Pink DS is real and its sniper

Remember: Benefactors will be watching

Type: 𓍢 [V1]; thing: ram 🐏 (𓃝) head; EAN-phonetic: /; numeral: 100; meaning: sun 🌞 in ram constellation 🌌 at spring equinox, and or sun in most powerful state, i.e. Aug-Sep summer heat 🥵 period
Abstract
Short overview of 𓍢 [V1].
Overview
In A2 (1957), Gardner (pg. 521) wrote the following about 𓍢 [V1], namely that it was a “coil of rope”, specifically the front rope of a ship:
https://preview.redd.it/8c422ljdcf0d1.jpg?width=1825&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a75e770f2b57397d8abf542d99ac789ca88ccbe
On 9 Mar A67 (2022), LibbThims discerned (see: letter R decoding history), while writing the “Egyptian mathematics” article, then posted: here out that the spiral character 𓍢 [V1], found as the 100-valued number tag 🏷️ of TombUJ (5300A/-3345):
https://preview.redd.it/2ucbfh7hcf0d1.jpg?width=1891&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0484da7e47fb2fa9c20b3aa2542f8f0ae14e274d
is the parent character of the Phoenician R and Greek R (rho), value: 100, namely: 𓏲 [Z7] or 𓍢 [V1] » 𐤓‎ » ρ » R in letter evolution; see also: “legged rho”, in Jeffery’s epigraphic table, and odd-looking Attica “red crown rho” (2680A/-725).
On 17 Aug A67 (2022), Thims figured out that 𓏲 = ram horn; (or Ram 🐏 head) prior to this the spiral ꩜ 100-value character 𓏲, from the TombUJ number tags, had been decode; in sum, the new view means Ra the sun ☀️ god in ram horn 𓏲 constellation, at spring equinox, in the 2,200-year period know presently as the age of Aries.
On 18 Aug (2022), Reddit user Skgody, working with Thims, determined that 𓏲 is the curl in the eye of Ra 𓂀 [D10] symbol.
On 19 Aug (2022), Thims figured out that curl in the red crown 𓋔 [S3] was a battering ram 🐏, a symbol of military power.
Letter R type evolution:
🐏 » 𓃝 » 💯 » ☀️+ 𓏲 [Z7] » 𓍢 [V1] » 𓋔 » 𓋖 » 𓂅 » 𓂇 » 𓂀 » 𓁛 » 𐤓 » Ρ, ρ » 𐡓 » 𐌓 » R » ר » र » ر

2024.05.14 19:05 Watermelonegurl His new gf wearing my stuff?

Me (18f) and my ex (18m) broke up a little over a month ago after a 1 month relationship due to his parents not allowing our relationship. We decided to remain friends and everything was cool between us, though he admitted to still having feelings for me. I still had his stuff and so did he but he didn’t really care if I kept it or not.
2 weeks later, I was having lunch with my friends when one of them told me out of nowhere that my ex was dating another girl. And that I needed to stop talking to him. I knew who the new gf was, she was friends with me during elementary and she was also my Ex’s best friend since middle school.
I was devastated and I started to question the whole validity of our past relationship. In the heat of my emotions, I texted him telling him that I take back everything I said when we were together and that I lied before deleting his contacts. I regret it since it wasn’t true at all, I was just hurt and just trying to save myself. Afterwards I was told landing on asking him if I can get stuff back but finals and band auditions got in the way so I held off on it.
A week later I passed by his new gf in the halls and I noticed that she was wearing the same bracelet I wore before I gave it to my ex when we’re still together. Seeing my bracelet on her wrist made me so angry but I was already dealing with enough already with finals and family drama that I just buried my feelings.
Right now I’m doing way better, I’m over this whole thing now for the most part. I talked to my friends, family and counselors about my situation and they gave me the best advice they could give and supported me. this semester is also coming to an end so I’ll have plenty of time to focus on my goals this summer. But I’m gonna hold off on relationships for while, especially after experiencing my first heartbreak. Never wanna feel that much pain again.
Bonus: my best friend offered to pop the bracelet for me when I told her, got a good laugh out of me.

2024.05.14 19:04 ElderberryExternal99 US opens probe into Alphabet's Waymo over 'unexpected behavior' of self-driving vehicles

" WASHINGTON, May 14 (Reuters) - U.S. auto safety regulators said on Tuesday they have opened an investigation into the performance of Alphabet's Waymo (GOOGL.O), opens new tab self-driving vehicles after reports of its robotaxis exhibiting driving behavior that potentially violated traffic safety laws.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said its preliminary evaluation into an estimated 444 Waymo vehicles follows 22 reports of 22 incidents including 17 collisions.
The agency said in some of those cases the automated driving systems "appeared to disobey traffic safety control devices" and some crashes occurred shortly after the automated driving systems "exhibited unexpected behavior near traffic safety control devices." "

  2. Inflation Jitters: Concerns about inflation are weighing on S&P 500 futures, as investors grapple with the implications of rising prices for consumer goods and services. While the Federal Reserve has signaled its commitment to keeping interest rates low, fears of inflationary pressures persist, leading to increased volatility in futures trading.
  3. Energy Sector Strength: The energy sector is experiencing a resurgence in S&P 500 futures trading, buoyed by rising oil prices and optimism about global economic recovery. With demand for energy rebounding as pandemic-related restrictions ease, companies in the oil and gas industry are seeing gains in futures contracts as they benefit from higher commodity prices.
  4. Financials Rally: Financial stocks are rallying in S&P 500 futures trading, fueled by expectations of rising interest rates and improving economic conditions. Banks and financial institutions stand to benefit from higher lending margins and increased economic activity, driving gains in futures contracts for companies in the financial sector.
  5. Infrastructure Optimism: Optimism surrounding infrastructure spending is lifting S&P 500 futures, as investors anticipate increased government investment in areas such as transportation, renewable energy, and broadband infrastructure. Companies involved in infrastructure projects stand to benefit from new contracts and government funding, driving gains in futures contracts for the sector.
  6. Geopolitical Tensions: Geopolitical tensions are impacting S&P 500 futures trading, as uncertainty surrounding events such as the conflict in Ukraine and trade disputes between the US and China weigh on investor sentiment. Heightened geopolitical risks have the potential to disrupt global markets and lead to increased volatility in futures trading.
  7. Earnings Outlook: Earnings season is in full swing, with companies across various sectors reporting their quarterly results. Positive earnings surprises are driving gains in S&P 500 futures, as investors reward companies that exceed expectations and demonstrate strong financial performance.
  8. Federal Reserve Watch: The actions and statements of the Federal Reserve are closely monitored by investors, as they seek clues about the central bank's monetary policy stance and outlook for interest rates. Comments from Fed officials and signals about potential policy changes can impact S&P 500 futures trading, influencing investor sentiment and market direction.
As traders navigate the dynamic landscape of S&P 500 futures, it's essential to stay informed about the latest trends and developments shaping market sentiment. Whether reacting to economic data releases, corporate earnings reports, or geopolitical events, staying ahead of the curve is key to success in futures trading.

2024.05.14 18:54 onimush115 It’s Arrived! Boderry Admiral Titanium GMT.

It’s Arrived! Boderry Admiral Titanium GMT.
Finally got delivered today. I’m still amazed by just how light this thing is. Dial looks as nice as I had hoped. Bracelet is well finished and feels smooth.
So far my only disappointment is the bezel alignment. What you see in the photo is as close as it will align, one more click to the left and it’s at the 58 minute marker.
That being said, I’m still happy with it overall. It was $118 with a coupon for a full titanium gmt, which is quite the bargain anyway.

[Omega] 60th Anniversary Bond SMP
The SMP is polarizing. The helium release valve could be flush with the case. Omega could do it, but it’s their signature design. Before I had this I didn’t like mesh bracelets. This bracelet though is fantastic and is super comfortable. I’ve had multiple SMPs, but this is my favorite.

2024.05.14 18:15 DivineDice Who actually likes alphabetical order?

I'm just absolutely confounded by the default settings on like, every card search engine. What value do I gain from seeing the "A"s first? If i'm looking up cards presumably I want them for some functional purpose, shouldn't the sorting also be functional?
Anyway. I think everything should default to cmc sorting it's much more useful, thanks Scryfall for enabling this so I don't have to do "order:cmc" on every query.
Edit, because people seem to be missing the point: I'm not using the engine to find a card by its name. If you have its name already you just want the text, you're done. I'm trying to get useful lists of potential cards based on my search criteria. Alphabetical has nothing to do with what the card actually does, and it changes in other languages. Every other metric provided by scryfall puts them in some sort of "usefulness order". CMC, Price, Card Type.
To the "you can filter" responses: yes. I know. I'm annoyed that I have to filter to undo the messiness that alphabetical imposes on my searches.

2024.05.14 17:36 AgreeableAd9816 I don’t feel like I have adequate emotional depth and empathy

I had social anxiety up until 4 years ago due to bullying and body image issues. I had a comfortable upbringing, which was rather sheltered. I’m a single child so my parents were and are overprotective. For some reason I don’t feel happiness easily, my default settings seem anger, broodiness, doubt towards and myself.
I have always found it difficult to associate with people, what they feel. For example about 6 years ago my friend showed me a new bracelet she bought expecting me to give a reaction. I just said “oh”, then she had to tell me that I was supposed to say it looks pretty or something in such a situation.
Whatever empathy I’ve learned has been over the past 3 years that too because I was forced to do so when someone I considered my only friend up and left because of my own sabotaging behaviour. I have made a few friends since then, my social life is better but I still feel this sense of disconnect with everything. My internship in medicine opened my eyes to the world and other’s suffering but even now I have to put a lot of effort to communicate and make others comfortable. I feel utterly exhausted later.
Now that I think back to my childhood I remember the good and the bad. My mother was extremely unhappy with her life, my father though good on paper is not good at showing affection. She halted her career progression to appease my father and grandmother , to take care of me. Her career is stagnant though she’s extremely intelligent.
My mother used to say things like “Don’t try to talk, you won’t know what to speak about. I know I can’t expect much from you. I’m disappointed in you, you are not fun to talk to.” All of this inspite of me being an obedient child, who was always appreciated at school for academics. Up until 10 years of age she used to help me study and hit me when I used to do something wrong. It also didn’t help that my parents fought a lot, it didn’t set a good example as to how I should communicate with others.As a result I didn’t communicate unless absolutely necessary at home up until 3 years ago.
My mother used to be affectionate at other times and really strived to make me nice meals and take me on vacations. My father too is very protective of me. I feel like I’m recalling the past because my mother recently asked me not to wear a particular set of clothes again while exercising because someone had commented on me being fat while wearing it. I don’t like that she wants me to take into consideration a stranger’s unsolicited opinion. Mind you I always dress conservatively, mostly in loose fitting clothes. She still says some mean things like “You are stupid”. I literally have to scream to get her attention.To top it all off she still says things like “Why can’t you be happy, you have everything in life “. I really want to move away for residency.
I feel like crying if I think of all this, I keep praying to God to make me feel different. To make me feel like a real human being and not a shell or some kind of android learning to self programme emotions. I was recently watching kimono mom videos and was crying seeing the kind of gentle parenting some children are afforded. I really wish to be a more gentle, happy, fulfilled person.

2024.05.14 17:19 Still_Field_1546 [Yema Urban Field] Daily driver!

[Yema Urban Field] Daily driver!
I’ve been looking for a daily driver for some time. I wanted something nice enough I could feel good wearing, I wanted a brand with some heritage, but I also did not want something so nice I would be anxious about damaging it. After a lot of research and trying different brands, I finally landed on the Yema Urban Field in 37.5mm.
This watch has a beautifully decorated manual wind movement. It also has classic field watch looks, but the case and design are polished and classy enough to wear with a suit. It is also a proverbial “strap monster” and looks great on leather or a bracelet. I’m currently enjoying it with the stunning beads of rice bracelet from Yema.
All in all, it’s a great daily wear that I would recommend to anyone looking for a GADA watch!

2024.05.14 17:06 ElleVB1990 AITA for cutting ties with my Aunt (more like a mother to me) due to religious differences?

Trigger warning - religious differences
I always bragged about how awesome my extended family was. NO family is perfect, but I heard horror stories and always counted my blessings that I had strong ties with my Aunt and uncles since I was raised an only child. That was until a few months ago when my last living Aunt, whom I considered a second mom, shattered me.
Ok, some backstory here. My aunt is a Jehovah’s Witness. Now before you get all judgy, I have always loved her, my uncle and her son with all of my heart. I still do. I respect that they have found faith and live by this code on the daily. I have met many people from their congregation and loved them all (ok, a couple of exceptions). I also appreciate the community they have and love they all show each other. If it weren’t for the religion itself, I would have converted.
I, however, am pagan and have always been since I was about 5 (even the first book I signed out from the school’s library was about witchcraft). Not raised that way, but always found spiritual comfort in nature and the natural world. I have a very strong connection and dedication to my Powers That Be and work every day to help the world be a better place. My Aunt did not know my religion until about 7 years ago. That being said, she and I would have very philosophical conversations when we hung out together. Even at the age of 8, I would listen to her preach to me and ask questions to which she never had answers. I remember her telling me how only 144,000 people would be allowed in heaven and didn’t I think that would be wonderful knowing that our whole family could be together again after we died. We’d all be in heaven if we were all Jehova;s witnesses. I had gone with her many times to do field service (door to door) and asked her why they do that if there’s only a certain number of people allowed. Didn’t that lessen her chances of getting in because I’m sure there were many people more deserving than myself. How did she know for sure she’d be one of the ones to get in and was that fair to keep bringing people into the religion when all the spaces were probably already filled up?
At 8 years old, I had many questions and was just trying to figure these things out. Since she was an adult, I figured she had the answers. My questions were not with malice, just for a want of better understanding. When she didn’t have the answers, I'd ask my mother and grandmother. While they were extremely amused, they said they never understood either. They never said anything bad about her or her attempts to get them to convert, just allowed me to explore religion and spirituality as I wished so I could make my own decision of what was right for me.
Once I was an adult, I avoided talking to her about religion, but found that if I didn’t ask questions and just let her talk, it made her happy. I know she’s a good person at heart and that’s all that matters. After my Mom passed, my aunt and I talked almost every week. I loved talking to her and she became even more like a mom to me. She gave me encouragement and we supported each other through health and emotional crises. I’d make it a point to try and visit at least once a year for a few days so she could visit with my daughter and I. We’d always do lunch with her friends and I loved it. I fell in love with some of the people in her congregation and wished we could live closer to hang out more. I, however, never wavered on my spiritual beliefs, but I have never cared about the religion, race, or sexuality of anyone. If we got along, we were friends and that was that.
My aunt and I had come to an understanding that I would not convert and that we would love and respect each other regardless. Religious talk was off the table for the most part until both of my uncles (my aunt’s two brothers) passed and she had a very hard time dealing with it. She was the last surviving sibling and she was sinking into a depression. I’d talk to her at length and listen to her as she mourned the fact that she would never have contact with them (and my mom) in heaven because they never converted. When she asked me what I believed, I told her that I believed that the soul lived on after the body died and that I believed in reincarnation. I explained my beliefs were closer to hindu and buddhism than christianity (so she had context). We had very long talks and she expressed that she respected my views and actually found comfort in talking with me.
That was until my daughter and I opened our store about 3 years ago. It’s a metaphysical shop and we have crystals, teas, gifts, jewelry, candles and more (about 10% strict;y pagan). My aunt was happy for us until it dawned on her that we might sell pagan stuff. I told her what we sold and she asked me if I was a witch. I replied that I suppose that was one way to describe me, but, again, I considered myself spiritual and that I followed a path closer to buddhism, hinduism, native american. I sent a couple of pictures of the jewelry that we made and she said when we came down, we should bring the jewelry making.
We did, I brought down our best crystals to wrap and bracelet materials and my daughter and I made her a necklace with a very expensive stone (A $200 piece). She brought her friends over and they picked out crystals that they wanted, made bracelets and such. We had fun and I was happy to do it, though I wasn’t expecting people that I had never met before. Still, we had fun. My daughter and I also brought her a basket with local items from our hometown, (Raw honey, handmade stoneware mugs, cutting board, herbal tea and some other items made by us as well) She was thrilled. My aunt and uncle had taken a couple of bad falls a few months before and so my daughter and I made them hand carved cedar walking sticks as well because we knew they went for regular walks and thought it would help their balance. It felt amazing to lavish expensive and heartfelt gifts on them as I has struggled so long with money. I was finally in a place that I could do it. To say the gifts probably totalled in excess of 1K is on the low side, but I was still happy to do it.
Besides the fact that they tried converting my daughter when I wasn’t around, it was a lovely visit. The only problem I had was with a new person my aunt introduced us to. This woman, we’ll call her Dee, ignored me and only talked to my daughter. She was my age if not older, but conversed with my daughter, 17, like I wasn’t there. They traded contact info and Dee insisted that they keep in touch while my daughter was in college. Dee said she was going to keep an eye on her. I thought that was odd, but I did enjoy the feeling of having an extended family sort of since I actually had no family besides my Aunt.
Let’s jump forward to the following year and we were struggling financially. Not horrible, but unable to lavish the gifts that we did the year before. Instead, I created a beautiful aromatherapy candle, some delicious herbal teas and we found a couple of very rare antique tea cups that had amazing value to them (about $100 a piece). We made a basket for her and I decided we would cook for them. (gluten free, soy free, dairy free etc). Our visit went so well, it was great to see them. We just enjoyed hanging out with them and talking. They loved the meal we made for them and the dairy free organic chocolate I made. Everything was great until the day we were leaving. Dee showed up and again ignored me, talked to my daughter and chastised her for getting a pet snake as that was an animal associated with the devil. My daughter is one to push the envelope a bit and said how she wanted to get a tattoo as well, one of a snake. Both my aunt and Dee were shocked and said she should never get a tattoo.. Again related to the devil, I went to the bathroom as I was not involved in the conversation and knew my daughter could hold her own. Little do they know that my daughter is also trans. I told her not to say anything to them just yet. I came back to them talking about how college was going and I thought my aunt and Dee would faint when she said her college roommate was male. She quickly explained that it was fine because he was gay and how awesome he was (he is btw). She quickly realized what I meant when she saw their reaction to him being gay. It wasn’t that she was living with a boy, it was that he was gay and “why did he choose to be gay.” I tried redirecting the conversation a couple of times, but they ignored me.
They finally let it go, but just after Dee left, we were getting ready to depart as well. My aunt returned the basket I made for her (minus the expensive tea cups). She said she could not accept them as they were touched by the devil. Shocked, I asked what she meant. She said that because they came from my store, they carried Satan's influence and she could not have them in our home. Truthfully, I explained that I made those items for her and that the only things that came from the store were the teacups. She was confused why I had gotten upset. When I explained that I gave her a gift and if she didn’t want it, she could regift it or throw it away. That gift came from my heart with all the love I have for her and that I didn't need to know her opinions about the gifts because It insinuated I, myself, was evil and it was extremely hurtful. She basically continued on insisting that I was just not aware of how much Satan had a hold of me. All I could do was tell her how much I loved her and leave.
I didn’t take her calls and cried about this for over a month. I finally felt strong enough to talk to her and again she insisted that because those items touched my hands, they were influenced by satan and she wished I could understand how they just can’t have that influence in their home. Frustrated, I asked how she could shop at grocery stores or buy anything from department stores because she can’t guarantee that those items didn’t touch hands that were influenced by satan. Also , I asked her how they could have eaten the food I prepared for them and why did they even invite me into their home to begin with if that’s the way she felt about me. She suddenly needed to go.
We talked a few times since then but it always came back to religion. At one point I asked her again why she would even invite us to her home if she felt that way. Her response was to save my daughter. The pain and heartache she has inflicted is immense, but I cannot bring myself to argue the point because I’m afraid if I make my point to her, it will break her. She’s in her 80’s and I believe has the beginnings of dementia. Her religion brings her comfort and I don’t want to say anything that might make her doubt her religion at her advanced age.
I’ve decided it is probably best for both of our mental health to stop all contact with her( with the exception of sending cards telling them how much I love them) even though I’ve always seen her as a second mom. AITA for making this decision and not trying to work things out with her or allow her to believe that I still might convert?
*** Please understand this is not a bash on any religion. Everyone has the right to believe in whatever religion they wish. That includes me, so if you feel the need to bash them or me for our spiritual choices, you can move along ***
I have never felt like I needed to hide any part of me from my friends, family, and the public in general. Not until now. Buckle up, this is a bumpy ride.
I've always been kind hearted, almost to a flaw. I took care of my grandmother, my step-dad, my mom and helped with a family friend during long term and terminal illnesses. I had my daughter and, without her father's help, raised her on my own with very little to no support. I helped friends with their farm who left me homeless in the end because I want interested in an extramarital affair. I lost my home and all that I loved including my husband because he lied to me and never paid it mortgage while I was recovering from an illness. In short, I have had a tough life, but it has never made me turn my back on anyone who needed help or in difficult family when they were ignored by the others. That's just some background before I tell you this situation.
Three years ago, after a bout of covid, my daughter was suicidal. She had been in the top three of her HS class and yet at that point almost failed her junior year. Not knowing if she would have the emotional strength to face college and adulting in general, I set up a plan B for her. I started a store in her name and that way she'd have something at least to fall back on if she was unable to function in the m-f 9 to 5 world. We started slow by doing craft fairs, seeking crystals, candles, jewelry, and gifts. We were kicked out of one because the person running it assumed we were witches. She was not wrong exactly as we identified as pagan, but we lived our life closest to the Buddhist and Hindu traditions, not traditional wicca. These were people who knew us for years and were considered acquaintances if not friends.
Our business flourished and we ended up opening our brick and mortar that fall after remodeling our garage/ barn and turning it into a store front. Even though I run it for my daughter, it is hers and we work together to keep it going.
In the past few years I've lost my mom, and two uncles. I have no family besides my mother's sister and her husband which we were pretty close. My aunt knew that I was pagan and had tried recruiting me into her religion since I was 5. Even at that tender age her religion never made sense and I would ask her questions to which she never had answers. I accepted her and respected her and her religion even though I didn't agree. I loved the people she introduced me to that were in her church and I always got along with them. That is until we visited the year after we started our store. My aunt was thrilled about us bringing crystals down and making jewelry with her. We met a new friend of hers (middle aged woman) who ignored me completely and oozed affection on my daughter. She got my daughter's contact info and contacted her frequently. Trying to convert and ”save” her. My daughter wasn't having it as even though she was in a delicate state, she is very level headed and strong willed.
This year we visited and we brought herbal tea, candies, and rare vintage tea cups for my aunt. The day we were leaving, she handed back everything but the vintage tea cups and told me she couldn't accept them because they were touched by Satan (aka made by my hands). To say I was devastated is an understatement. This woman was always like a second mom to me and we had grown closer after my mom passed away. It was a 20 hour drive home and I cried most of the way. I cried for weeks after a well. Thinking of it now still brings me tears. As she was telling me that Satan had a hold on me and that she was trying to save me, all I did was remind her how much I loved her and my uncle. Every time since then that we have talked, she says the same thing, but now she told me I was a lost cause. I feel like trying to stay in touch is detrimental to her mental health ( and my own). I don't want to give up or abandon the last of my family, but I can't talk to her and endure the endless insinuations that I'm evil because I don't believe in her religion. She took a bad fall and broke her arm. The last time we spoke, she talked as if it was my fault for bringing the devil into her home.
While I could usually brush this off as delusional ranting, it hits hard because the same day she fell, my dad died. I know the Powers That Be only give as much as we can handle, I just wish they didn't have so much faith in me.
They are in their 80s. I know in all the pieces of my broken heart that they'll never be able to accept my daughter and I unless we change religions and it has crossed my mind just to say we have to put her at ease, but I can't lie like that to them and we cannot betray ourselves like that either.

2024.05.14 16:58 Late-Recognition-357 Entitled SIL what do I do with B$&&@??!

I have been married for 6 years now,with three kids and my husband is in jail. He has been in Jail for two years,and my husband is in so much debit. He’s parents are so entitled that they tried to blame my family for their sons debits,saying that since he’s their only SIL they should pay off their son debits,and that went on and off for sometime,demanding to talk to my family or ask my father to loan me 50k or sell my jewelry to my father and get him to give me at least 25k(my jewelry doesn’t reach 25k) or to open a business with my name and credit card or take a loan……and this list go off a lot !!!’ After some fighting and cornering me,I decided to sell my jewelry except a bracelet my father bought me. However, they found out about the bracelet,and my phone started ringing demanding I sell everything I own,including the bracelet. And I got a call from my SIL calling me all sort of name saying that I’m hiding my jewelry and didn’t sell everything… After some fighting and yelling,I decided to sell it……. After I sold it my father knew and he blow off on my In-laws,calling them all sort of name and he talked trash about them,LIKE A LOT!!!! But after that each time a have a fight or disagreements with my SIL she would tell this::
OH!!! WE KNOW WHAt YOUR FATHER SAID ABOUT THE US SELLING THE JEWELRY,AND MY BROTHER ALREADY KNOWS!!!
I said yes he knows because he called my father and they had a talk!!! In this two years my mom was responsible for my necessities and would drive everywhere(i don’t have a car) they never took my to an appointment or elsewhere,even my kids are in The same pre school as my SIL and she never picked the kids to take them to school or take them home back from pre school!!!
Now my dear father bought me car,not that fancy but it does take me places,and guess what!??!? My SIL feels entitled to it…
(My dad put the car under his name so they can’t try to pressure me to sell it or not to ask me to take them places)
First time my father took the car at Friday,my husband had a visit in jail planned on Sunday,but my SIL calls me Saturday night demanding I tell my father to take the car back so I can go visit her brother!!!
(Since he got jailed I was the only one visiting him,my in-laws visited him once and the rest was me alone)
At the phone call with my SIL I told her that my father needs the car in the meantime and he can’t give it to me ,she started yelling saying I never loved her brother and never visited him while he’s in jail..I fought back and called my
Other BIL (he’s decent unlike my SIL) he said that it’s not a problem and he can assure I have a car in the morning to go to see my husband. Which he DID!! He brought me his wife’s car but I didn’t use it because my young SIL was home and she was happy to drive me their (she’s young like 20 years old ) And we went and visited my husband.
Second story my two kids were at my parents and my mom called to come pick them up,I went!!!and when I reached home my SIL was standing at the porch fuming demanding to know if they gave me the car forever or for sometime…
What do I do with this peace of S$&@??!

2024.05.14 16:31 BandB5700 [TOMT][MUSIC VIDEO][2010s] Two guys stealing things from the street to form the name of the band

This music video is about two guys (or just one) stealing various everyday objects from the city. Each object looks like a letter in the alphabet.
Their goal is to form the name of their band by collecting these items.
They go out for these items one by one. Every time they steal something and return home(?) they take a photo of it with a colored background.
By the end of the music video they have collected all the “letters” needed to form the name of their band and the full name is shown to us.
My suspicion is that they are a British band, but I could be wrong.
Unfortunately I don’t remember the melody and only guessing the genre: dance/house/electronic.

2024.05.14 15:58 FyrestarOmega Heather Pressdee - an American Lucy Letby?

I've mentioned the case of Heather Pressdee in this subreddit before. Heather Pressdee was a nurse in the US state of Pennsylvania prior to being charged with murdering a number of her elderly patients with insulin.
Local commentary around the announcement of her arrest was... markedly different than that surrounding Ms. Letby's trial: https://www.reddit.com/Pennsylvania/comments/17n9vig/former_nurse_heather_pressdee_now_linked_to_17/
https://www.reddit.com/medicine/comments/17nbov4/former_nurse_heather_pressdee_now_linked_to_17/
https://www.reddit.com/nursing/comments/17nmyq8/former_nurse_heather_pressdee_now_linked_to_17/
As it happens, Ms. Pressdee accepted a guilty plea less than two weeks ago: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/pennsylvania-nurse-pleads-guilty-killing-patients-lethal-doses-insulin-rcna150366
The Times wrote an article about Ms. Pressdee's crimes, and drew parallels to Lucy Letby: https://archive.ph/VHF1g
Last week Pressdee, 41, pleaded guilty to three charges of murder and was sentenced to life in prison, narrowly escaping the death penalty.
She is suspected of being behind the deaths of at least 14 others, aged 43 to 104, as well as attempting to kill five more. All were given insulin whether they needed it or not, quietly injected while others were not around to witness it.
If Pressdee has killed that many people, it would make her one of the most prolific serial killers in the US and certainly the biggest in the state of Pennsylvania.
Her case has parallels with that of Lucy Letby, the British paediatric nurse who in August was found guilty of seven counts of murder and seven of attempted murder, and Harold Shipman, the doctor based in Yorkshire who killed an estimated 250 of his patients, making him Britain’s most prolific serial killer.
The probable cause affadavit filed in May 2023 can be reviewed at this link: https://www.attorneygeneral.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/2023-11-02-Heather-PRESSDEE-Criminal-Complaint.pdf
Included in the probable cause affadavit are facebook posts about the effects of insulin, texts found on Ms. Pressdee's phone where she repeatedly joked about killing people, a search for the obituary of a decedent (pages 20-21) Because of the US nature of at-will employment, Ms. Pressdee was able to be shuffled between several hospitals between 2018 and 2023, before the nursing board took action. Most chilling, the complaint ends with this paragraph (emphases mine):
The defendant has admitted to harming, with the intent to kill, all patients named in this Affidavit. Her conduct spanned approximately five years over the course of eleven facilities in Armstrong, Allegheny, Westmoreland and Butler Counties. Her criminal conduct exhibited a pattern of behavior. PRESSDEE would often work the medication cart, administer insulin during the night shift when staffing was lowest and the facilities were quiet. The victims would often remain undiscovered until morning. PRESSDEE often took steps to ensure her victims would expire prior to shift change so that they wouldn't be sent to the hospital where her scheme could be discovered through medical testing such as a C-peptide tests [sic]. If PRESSDEE sensed the victim would "pull through" there is a pattern of her taking additional measures to try to kill the victims before they could be sent to the hospital by either administering a second dose of insulin or the use of an air embolism to ensure death. Despite PRESSDEE's efforts to conceal her actions, the investigative team uncovered the evidence detailed above in this Affidavit. The evidence along with PRESSDEE's confessions demonstrate sufficient probably cause to support the issuance of attached criminal complaint.
While Lucy Letby was arrested prior to the beginning of Ms. Pressdee's crimes, the allegations of Letby having administered air injection and poisoning by insulin were not made public until the beginning of Letby's trial in October 2022, ruling out the possibility of her having operated as a copycat killer. Ms. Pressdee's confessions also support the validity of the charges against her, even though they weren't brought until Lucy Letby's case was already public knowledge in the UK.
