2024.05.14 03:28 Adventurous-Ear9433 Acoustic Harmonic resonance in sacred sites : Cathedrals as Healing Centers , church bells & parasitic entities

Serpent-headed when the glamour was lifted but appearing to man as men among men. Crept they into the Councils, taking forms that were like unto men. Slaying by their arts the chiefs of the kingdoms, taking their form and ruling o'er man. Only by magic could they be discovered. Only by sound could their faces be seen. Sought they from the Kingdom of shadows to destroy man and rule in his place. But, know ye, the Masters were mighty in magic, able to lift the Veil from the face of the serpent, able to send him back to his place -Thoth, the Great Wise
Remember Venom, the parasitic alien life form that is attached to spiderman & a massive church bell isused to get rid of em? Venom was basically an Archon that the gnostics & Thoth talk about. Symbiotes are symbiotic alien life forms which feed on the emotions of their hosts, particularly negative emotions. Bells
Its been reported for ages that the plague would skip over the areas in Russia where they had larger concentrations of church bells. Many Soviet researchers determined the amazing healing properties of bells and found that the oscillation of the ultrasonic range of church bells repels bacilli, viruses, and other infectious diseases that are transmitted through the air, and even cures many other diseases. Bells Healing Study
The Apkalu who introduced the Me, brought arts/crafts, agriculture, writing, magic & music. Enki was god of music. See the golden age ancient civilizations sound, frequency & harmonics was widely understood to be the greatest method for healing the body.
To be clear, the cathedrals that you see around the world were never meant to be churches, they were centers used for healing. Cathedrals Healing Centers Everything the church had was pirated..
In sixth century, Pope Gregory, in a letter to those who were to carry Catholicism to Britain, cautioned these missionaries NOT to destroy the ancient sites. Gregory wanted them to destroy their idols, but insisted they kept the architecture as it was thereby automatically linking alignment to the ley lines and maintaining the power source. Egyptian concept of Maat(Harmony) was of the utmost importance, the reason the discipline that the church created to study Egypt has more questions than answers is because they don't understand this.
In the campaign to disconnect us from our true selves, the most detrimental action theyd take involved musical theory principles, suppression of the tritone in music was a central theme for hundreds of years. Canon laws were passed to mandate rules for how to construct scales, how to handle voice leading, what was considered consonant and dissonant, how contrary motion should be handled, what tones should and should not be emphasized in rhythm, which rhythmic patterns were acceptable and specific instructions for how music should be written. Megalithic monuments were built using acoustic HARMONIC Resonance, one will never understand Pyramid, temples, etc disregarding Harmony with nature.
History repeats itself, this 1939 Nature article wouls lead to the change by International Standards Association (ISA) from 432hz to 440hz & still today they have no true understanding of sound & its many benefits. A=440Hz tuning disassociates the connection of consciousness to the body and creates anti-social conditions in humanity. Music -Double Blind study In preliminary research, analysis, and professional discussions by Walton, Koehler, Reid, et al., on the web, A=440Hz frequency music conflicts with human energy centers (i.e., chakras) from the heart to the base of the spine. Alternatively, chakras above the heart are stimulated. Theoretically, the vibration stimulates ego and left-brain function, suppressing the "heart-mind," intuition and creative inspiration. Interestingly, the difference between 440 and 741 Hz is known in musicology as the Devil's Interval.
For maximum suppression of human consciousness, the frequencies we naturally resonate with, and which are the most biologically and psycho-spiritually enhancing, must be maximally suppressed.Ancient Egyptian and Greek instruments have reportedly been found to be tuned to 432 Hz.
432Hz is consistent with the natural resonance of the UNI-VERSE and all of NATURE, that the pitch is more HARMONIOUS and that when our atoms and DNA resonate in harmony with nature's SPIRAL pattern, our sense of connection to nature is said to be AMPLIFIED. Previously I cited the recent discoveries showing DNA being repaired by use of sound frequencies. Priests of Horus meant that they maintained the knowledge of harmony.
The great pyramid Acoustic chambers matched the harmonic chambers of the human body, the King chambesarcophagus Resonance frequency created a resounding beat frequency matching the human heartbeat. Every site had a navel which resonate at 111hz
To disconnect as much as possible the functions of these two distinct parts of the brain so we can be manipulated through the right brain while only being conscious of the left. They plant thoughts, responses, and images through the right brain (the dream-state, the non-conscious, through symbolism and subliminal imagery) while imprisoning the human conscious level in the left brain - the world of can I touch it, smell it, taste it, see it, hear it, OK it must exist. This is why the "education" system, and "science" is designed to talk to the left brain.
No architectural element of antiquity (excluding bearing elements), was just a decoration. Everything had a function. Even the vases, and doorknobs. The doorknobs would be made of copper to kill bacteria & infections. So, at the correct frequency there were regenerating concert halls, where people recharged themselves with pleasant music while buildings collected the energy of the ether. They stigmatized the ether & removed it as well. If zero-point energy machines were developed on the biological model of the caduceus coil and central ion channel then our energy generation could actually enhance human evolution rather than harming ourselves and the planet as it does now. Similarly if we construct superconducting solar architecture with a monoatomic lattice in manmade stone, then the energy emanating from this energy generator will also enhance the consciousness of life around it

2024.05.14 03:28 MasterPlantain2444 Where to find good X-Men minifigures?

Hey all,
I’ve got several marvel sets that I’ve been setting up with Avengers and Spider-Man minifigures, and I’d like to add some X-Men figures to balance it out. Issue is, I can’t find a trustworthy source to buy some figures outside of the new set, which only has four. Any suggestions on where I could get some?

2024.05.14 03:27 Emotional_Swan5956 Complicated (?) Relationship Advice Pls ‘23/F, 23/M’

I was dating a boy for almost six years until october. we were high school sweet hearts and met when we were 16. he broke up with me suddenly and gave me no other explanation aside from “i’m unsure about us.” he broke up with me on a 20 minute phone call—we were long distance (during academic terms) for the past two years (different colleges). He broke up with me in the middle of my midterms, one week after my depression diagnosis, and a week away from a serious academic verdict. After debating on what to do after moving back home following the end of the semester, and given we didn’t speak for four months, i reached out in December seeking closure, since i felt like i was at least owed an in person conversation.
Throughout our no contact his family constantly reached out to me and updated me on him, often against my will; his communication (which i wish i didn’t ever hear) was strange and aloof: “closure? we don’t need closure because i don’t know what’s going to happen.” In response to my ask for closure, he told me yeah we can have that sometime in january. During the break up, he made it clear we were fully broken up, though he kept using language indicating there could be a reconciliation some day. He was planning to still adhere to our grad school plans and hoped to end up in the same city as me, even asserting that my top city was his as well. Anyways, he texted me back saying hes still unsure blah blah. Then he randomly reached out two weeks later and said he wants to get back together and planned for a date on January 15th. I agreed. We went on the date and it went well. Once it came to talking about getting back together, I asked him if he had slept with anyone else during those four months, since I was not interested in us reconciling if he had. He said no. Multiple times. We talked things out, got back together, and went to his house to see his parents. We talked w them, laughed, then I slept over that night. That night we had sex two times. It was not after the second time we had unprotected sex that he admitted he had sex with one other person during the break up. We spent 18 hours straight talking and crying about it. The next day, he admitted that he lied and that it wasn’t one person, it was two people. He hadn’t tested for any STIs, he admitted he lied to me because he knew i didn’t want to get back together if he had slept with other people, and he wanted to be back together. Since then, he admitted the break up was because he was wondering if the grass was greener on the other side—he essentially wanted to experience other people and have other sexual experiences. He voiced that he wasn’t sure if I was pretty enough or good enough for him, and he feared he was settling. That’s why during the breakup he downloaded tinder and slept with two girls off of it. The first one was a hook up and the second one was more of a date-scenario. They had sex in his car for the first time and they rented an air bnb for the second time. The last time he had sex with her was the last week of December—less than two weeks before he texted me trying to get back together. We have been having a lot of trouble since this reconciliation, since there is little to no trust because of the lying, insecurities that have formed because of his fear of settling because of superficial standards, and the plain fact that he had sex with other girls during our breakup. Additionally, his hookup with the second girl remains the most hurtful since he never wanted to have car sex with me and refused to ever rent somewhere so we could have privacy. Since getting back together, he has had a 180 switch, being genuinely great, attentive, and secure in everything. According to him, he’s “locked in with us.” The concept of this is even troubling because why didn’t I inherently deserve this from the beginning? Why did he have to lose me and experience other people for me to finally receive the treatment any girlfriend should get? This all has propelled me into a reckless era, something that constantly leaves him insecure because I get a lot of male attention each night I go out—something he is admittedly not used to (I was never a partier).
I understand that the correct intellectual answer is to leave and that nothing is worth this much pain, but it’s hard when there’s so much history; we grew up together, we are each others first everything (and he’s still my only everything) so I really find myself in cycles of happiness and profound anger and pain. I feel like I can’t go to anyone about this because they will tell me to leave the relationship, which objectively I feel makes sense. But it’s hard to put what’s objectively “right” in practice when you are in love and have so much invested into a person. I don’t know if this is salvageable. Does anyone have any words of wisdom or advice about this?

2024.05.14 03:27 Ashamed_Cricket_3429 Helpful words

I just feel really lost. My life has been hell since last October. My dog died. Then I starting having the worst headaches of my life and arm/shoulder pain out of no where. I Was told I needed an acdf and admitted to the hospital 2 weeks later abruptly. I had to take emergency leave from work. It all happened so fast.
I went back to work after 6 weeks to my hour commute drive even though I didn’t feel ready. I was basically told a few weeks ago I was going to have my days cut and let go because ‘I wasn’t the same after my surgery.’ Ok life isn’t going my way for a while I get it. Then today I found out they’re replacing me with the person who was filling in for me while I was gone on surgery. One thing after another. I guess they like her better. But they hid that from me. I’m so furious and I agreed to finish up this month and work two days a month next month. There’s no way I can claim discrimination but I absolutely feel discriminated against. I feel so sick after finding this out I don’t know how I’m going to continue: they kept trying to get me to admit I’m not the same physically or mentally and I refused to. All I kept saying is ‘I’m exactly where I should be after going through what I did and my doctor agrees’
I’m so depressed, everything feels like it’s going wrong and all I can do is lay here and stare at my ceiling. I feel like I can’t talk to anyone. I feel more lost than ever after this procedure. I feel like maybe I could shake the post op depression if something could go right. Anything.

2024.05.14 03:26 237SnK What I think/would like to happen in WOW

North:
Stannis wins, but loses almost all his forces and in Winterfell there are no resources left, so he is forced to return to the wall leaving a few men in Winterfell. Ramsey had sent the false pink letter to provoke Jon, because Stannis used Theon and the false Arya as bait, making Ramsey go out with a few men to capture them (against the orders of his father Roose). Ramsey wanted to provoke Jon to make him leave Castle Black (knowing that Jon was his Lord Commander) and thus turn the Night's Watch against him. Ramsey eventually captures Theon and the fake Arya, but on his way back he finds the castle taken by Stannis, so he flees to Dreadfort. Jon is dead, and Selysse, upon learning of the pink letter, proposes to Melissandre to burn Shireen in order to help Stannis, and she accepts. By burning Shireen, Jon is resurrected. A second letter arrives, and this one says that Stannis has taken Winterfell but that he must return to consolidate the supply line (since Winterfell has no supplies to feed the survivors of his army). Jon, upon learning what has happened, with the help of the wildlings and those still loyal to him in the guard, imprisons Selysse along with all those who were part of his murder.
However, Jon decides to let Melissandre escape knowing that Stannis would kill her for what she did, and he does so because as much as it disgusts him that she burned Shireen, there is a power in her or her Red God or whatever that may be necessary for the war against the Others. Stannis returns and learns what has happened from Jon's words (I think this would be a very good moment to see Stannis in a moment of great vulnerability, to see a man like him break). Stannis decides to execute Selysse, and Jon executes all those responsible for his murder. Jon proposes to Stannis to join him this time as Jon Stark (leaving everything related to the Watch, including the Hardhome issue) to save Arya along with the help of the wildlings. Stannis accepts, knowing that the girl Ramsey has is not really Arya, omitting the truth out of interest. This time the North joins Stannis' cause for Jon Stark, and they march to Dreadfort. The battle of the bastards occurs, Jon, Stannis and Mance Ryder win handsomely saving Theon and Jeyne Poole (Jon realizing it wasn't Arya). This is when the wall is destroyed or the Others have somehow gotten through (as by Eastwatch freezing the sea itself). Jon realizes that he abandoned his guard and his brothers for nothing. (At this point the Iron bank funding comes to Stannis, but I doubt very much that it would do much good. Maybe for a large fleet in White Harbor, which would serve to evacuate the north to the free cities).

South:
Aegon conquers the Stormlands and marries Arianne Martell. The attempted coup of the Sand Snakes at King's Landing fails (Ser Robert Strong, the Mountain, protects Cersei and Tommen by killing the Sand Snakes). Dorne, the Stormlands and the golden company led by Aegon and Jon Connington invade Highgarden. Cersei asks Littlefinger for help in the Vale, and he accepts, but meanwhile Littlefinger agrees to an alliance with Aegon and swears allegiance to him if he makes him Warden of the East and Warden of the North through Sansa Stark, thus him marrying her (Robert Arryn dies in an “accident”). Aegon accepts because he knows about Stannis' advance in the North. Cersei opens the gates to the army of the Vale, and it sacks King's landing. Cersei talks to the pyromancer and tells him to burn the whole city while she plans to flee with Tommen. He obeys and begins the process. Then Arya (who has already had her development in Braavos) shows up and in some spectacular way from what she has learned in the Faceless Men kills the Mountain, and then Arya goes after Cersei and Tommen. Cersei begs Arya to spare Tommen's life, to kill her but not to kill Tommen. Arya then slowly kills Tommen in front of Cersei, and then kills her. The whole city starts to burn from the valyrian fire, but Arya escapes (She heard Cersei's orders she gave to the pyromancer being with another face, but she doesn't bother to stop him, she is totally indifferent about it). King's Landing ends up completely in ruins, exploding and burning everything and everyone who fails to escape. Aegon is left without capital and without an iron throne (Varys is also saved thanks to the secret passages).
Euron conquers Casterly Rock with the intention of plundering the gold and finds that there is nothing. In addition, Lady Stoneheart (Catelyn) kills Jaime in front of Brienne (who accepts because she swore to obey Catelyn, even knowing that Jaime had changed and still loving him, she does it out of honor). Catelyn leading the brotherhood without a banner kills and hunts down all the Freys, including Walder Frey, causing the riverlands to end in anarchy. Catelyn, for the intel she got from Jaime, goes to the westerlands to save Jeyne Westerling (Robb's Wife) in The Crag and Edmure on Casterly Rock (along the way she meets Brynden, the Blackfish). Once Catelyn saves Jeyne at The Craig she and her family tell her that they hid Robb's son in the riverlands, pretending that Jeyne had miscarried. She also learns that the Ironborn have captured Casterly Rock, where Edmure is. Catelyn is at the crossroads of going west to try to save her brother or going east to look for Robb's son.

Essos:
Barristan Selmy meets Jorah and Tyrion, and initially Barristan wants to kill Jorah for bypassing the exile but Tyrion intervenes and they focus more on finding Daenerys. The three go on an expedition in search of Daenerys (leaving the Unsullied and the Second Sons in charge of Meereen). Daenerys is trapped in the Dosh Khaleen, and Jorah, Tyrion and Barristan end up finding out somehow, so they plan to save her (Jorah knows the city will be deserted). After they are gone, Victarion and his fleet arrive in Meereen, and Moqorro sounds the horn after making sacrifices to R'hllor (thus avoiding his own death). Moqorro gains control over Viserion and Rhaegal. The Ironborn take over Meereen with the help of the dragons, and Victarion, not finding Daenerys, tells Moqorro that two dragons are enough and that they should return to Westeros. Moqorro objects, and then performs a ritual in his flames that makes him see where Daenerys is. Victarion, Moqorro and the Ironborn make an expedition to go after Daenerys to Vaes Dothrak.
The Dothrakis realize that there is an army heading towards Vaes Dothrak, so all the Khals go there to protect their holy city. Jorah, Tyrion and Barristan at first find the city completely deserted, but when the Khals arrive everything fills up and they must flee and hide. Then the Ironborn arrive, led by Victarion. The Dothrakis charge the Ironborn, and then Moqorro uses the dragons and the dragons burn them. In the midst of the chaos, Jorah, Tyrion and Barristan manage to reach Daenerys along with the other Khaleesis, but Drogon appears. Daenerys controls Drogon as best she can (he isn't under Morroqo's influence), and tells Jorah, Tyrion and Barristan to run away. Drogon then burns Dosh Khaleen along with all the Khaleesis. This is a catastrophe for all the Dothrakis, but then among the flames Daenerys appears. The Dothrakis consider this a prophecy, so all the khals prostrate themselves before her and join her army. Moqorro, Victarion and Daenerys meet, and then Moqorro gives the horn to Daenerys. Victarion objects, but being surrounded by Dothrakis and now without power over the dragons, he decides not to exert force also at Moqorro's persuasion. Moqorro tells Daenerys that death is marching on Westeros, that the wall has fallen. It is then that Daenerys decides to leave with the Dothrakis, the Unsullied and the Ironborn with Victarion's fleet to Westeros (it may be that the Dothraki went overland to the free cities and then embarked from there).
This would be in summary what I think would happen without reaching the end and skipping some things. Daenerys would take many months to reach Westeros, she would stop by other slaver cities to feed her great army. Meanwhile, the North led by Stannis as King, Jon Stark as guardian of the North and Mance Ryder leading the wildlings, would have to organize a massive evacuation of the entire North to below the neck. Thousands of ravens would fly. Jon, Stannis and Mance would be on the front lines fighting Aegon's army, being the golden company, dorne, the knights of the valley, what's left of the stormlands and probably also part of the tyrell (who I assume would eventually surrender to Aegon). Stannis' conquest to the south would not so much be a war as a desperate flight, Aegon would not believe anything about the others and would see Stannis only as the brother of the man who killed his father. Aegon's army is much larger, has far more supplies (the north is in ruins) and his army of far, far higher quality (the golden company and the knights of the valley are some of the best). So I would guess that Stannis would lose against the Vale and would have to decide to maneuver to the twins (which are abandoned by the passing of Lady Stoneheart). The goal would not be to win battles, but to flee from the Others. It would be like what Mance Ryder did beyond the wall but all the way north to the south. (I assume at some point Daenerys would land at Dragonstone and fight Aegon, a marriage between them would no longer be viable) Something I forgot about: I assume Davos would eventually find Rickon with Osha. White Harbor would be the most important place to evacuate the north, sending as many refugees as possible to the free cities. Now, I don't quite know what would happen with Bran really. He might be a good point of view from which to see the mass evacuation of the north, with him fleeing to the south as well. I think that the advance of the others should take over all of Westeros and even advance towards Essos through the sea of stepstones but frozen. Let it be a real massive apocalyptic event.

2024.05.14 03:25 Showknight_ Is it just one?

Is it just one?
Hi folks, I think I found a BB on my bed two weeks ago the day before I was supposed to visit a friend out of town. I was washing my bedding and saw a bug crawling on my mattress. I took a picture of it and then killed it and wrapped it in two garbages bags before throwing it out. I noticed two bites in the span of the week prior to finding the bug. I vacuumed my bedroom, washed and dried all my clothes on high heat and stored them in plastic bins or garbage bags. I told my friend about the situation and decided to take precautions and visit them (I showered and washed and dried everything in my suitcase upon arrival). I didn’t notice any bites while I was away. When I was away my mom and sister checked their rooms and my room and found nothing. My mom checked my room once a day.
I have now returned from my trip. I’ve since steamed my bed frame and mattress, floors, and the trim of my bedroom but I’m terrified there’s more of them. I slept in my room my first night back from my trip but the anxiety was debilitating, so I started sleeping in the basement. I go in my bedroom everyday to check my mattress and room but I can’t bring myself to sleep in there. I can’t tell if I have new bites or not from the first night sleeping in there (the bites I got initially were circular with a dark punctured centre, the new ones look like whitehead pimples on my leg).
I can’t call a professional to check.
Also for context: I have a long commute on public transport to get to and from work, so I suspect I got it from there.
Any words or advice or support would be greatly appreciated. I can barely eat or sleep.

2024.05.14 03:25 Level-Ad8031 35 [M4F] NorCal California. Am I too needy? I just want to live.

35 year old dad of two young children. I have an extremely big heart but not a very big ego. When I have feelings for someone I feel the need to share them and it has only gotten me hurt. Everything I read in the internet basically tells me to be a jerk and make them chase you. Thats who I am. I just want someone to love me for who I am and not have to be some “bad boy” to make a girl want me.
A little about myself. I have two kids, 1 boy who is 4 and a girl who is 1.5. I work full time and my schedule is a little funky. On my free time I’m earthier doing something outdoors or working in one of my project vehicles. I can also just lay in bed and watch tv and be completely content. I’m big on affection and showing/telling how I feel. I am not a fighter but a lover for sure. I’m not trying to hook up, that seems to be much easier than finding something real. I just want to find my soul mate, are you here? Here is a pic of me. I look foreword to hearing from you :)

2024.05.14 03:25 AngelmZeal1 The night when a bus ride almost became my last one ever

Just another one of those nights, I thought, sitting all alone on a bus stop bench at around 9:47 pm last Thursday. I had to catch my breath because of all the running I did, hoping to get to the last bus after working extra hours. The last bus, n°RH08B7usually arrives at 9:35 pm if not late, and that night, my hopes turned into reality when I saw its lights illuminating the stop. I watched it get close and could clearly read the number on its front screen, making me beam with relief.
Upon entering, I greeted the driver who did not respond at all, and I found the vehicle completely empty. Never mind, I thought, and comfortably seated somewhere among the first rows. I got my phone and texted my colleague and friend Lizell. I will not assume everybody can read and understand our texting slang so I will write it normally instead:
'Liz?' I wrote.
'Hey girl, please tell me you already in your +Drive (the most popular rideshare app in our country)' Lizell responded. 'Those people will not pay for all the extra hours. You know it' She added.
'No girl I'm on the bus. I changed my mind hoping the last bus would be late and it was. Guess you caught the one before, right?'
'The one before? Zora, where are you? Which last bus?'
'The last bus, the RH08B7. You really making me type a full code?'
'Girl, I got the last bus, I'm currently in the RH08B7.' She texted back.
'You lying 😳' I replied, before she sent me a picture of a screen inside the bus she was on, clearly showing RH08B7.
'Girl, stop messing with me 🤣 ' She wrote, before I sent her a picture of a screen inside the bus I was on, clearly showing the same number.
'Girl, get off NOW!' She replied.
'Next stop for sure' I texted.
'Look, let me the cops or something' She responded.
After pressing the button indicating my will to get off at the next stop, I waited, trying to remain calm. When we were close to the stop, I rejoiced seeing two people waiting, probably hoping to get on the last bus if it was late, just like I did. The two persons even stood up, expecting the vehicle to slow down and stop, and so did I, making my way to the door.
The bus did not stop.
Both of them raised their arms and shouted, confused at what was happening.
"Hey! Hey stop! Driver, stop!" I yelled, banging on the locked door.
I walked to him and could not even utter a word the moment I saw him. He had a mask, those smiling ones you see bank robbers wear in the movies. That was no good sign. I stood there a few seconds until I could speak again and asked:
"What— what you doing?" What else could I say? He remained silent, ignoring me. "Sir?" I called.
"I'll advise you to sit back down madam. And don't you dare bang on my door again." He calmly replied.
Waiting for him to reach his 'destination' was the worst move I could make, so I tried to insist.
"Just why are you doing this? Where we going?" I asked.
"Sit— back— down!" He commanded.
"N— no!" I let out on the verge of tears, while his only response was to pull out something from his left and carefully placed it on his lap.
It was a gun.
A gasp escaped from my mouth as I took a few steps back.
"Look, I— I can give you all I— I have money on me right—" I tried negotiating but stopped when his head slowly turned to me.
"Are you looking down on me? Do I look hungry to you?" He asked, his voice slowly rising along with his growing anger, as he completely ignored the road. "Can't you see I have a job? A professional and competent driver like me?" He yelled. "SIT— BACK— DOWN!" He commanded again. That time, I obeyed.
While I made my way to the back of the bus, contemplating my options, he seemed to read my mind as he switched off the lights, attempting to prevent me from making signs to potential pedestrians. Unfortunately for him, I used my phone, and a few people saw me waving the lit screen like crazy inside the dark of the vehicle. I also soon noticed that no button on that bus actually worked.
Suddenly, he accelerated and stopped considering the lights, other motorists and just everything. I soon heard the police sirens until two law enforcement cars came into view, chasing the bus. The vehicle then started swerving, unfortunately knocking cars out of its way as I tried to hold on to a seat. Tears covered my face as I expected the crazy driver to lose control, the vehicle to flip over and both us to just die, each time I saw cars on the side nearly crashing into the bus. At some point, I lost my grip on my phone and I tried to open a window, thinking of jumping off like in the movies.
The windows too were locked.
"Don't worry madam! We'll soon reach the terminus. Thank you for traveling with us and remember: whatever your journey, you can count on us to drive you safely!" He shouted...joyfully.
When we finally arrived at the terminus, he unlocked the door and dashed out, still chased by the police.
I got rescued from one officer and even though I had not sustained any injury, I already intended to take a well-deserved leave that I am currently enjoying as I am typing this post. There might not be any ghost, ghoul or monster (depending on what you decide to call that lunatic) but there you have it, the scariest thing that ever happened to me. At least up to now.
The crazy thing is that he escaped and he is still out there, somewhere.

2024.05.14 03:23 Normal_Post_7014 Personal experiences filing bankruptcy or consumer proposal?

Context: I’m 24, currently unemployed for the past two months (actively searching for work and working with job developers), no assets and have close to 65k in debt but 25k is OSAP which I’m not worried about because they’re on pause and have no interest
Of the remaining 40k, 30k is from my student line of credit that just recently got converted into a loan. The rest credit card debt (8.7k) from three different cards, one is 6.6k the two are about 1k each
The vast majority of my debt is from funding myself through school. I worked and received OSAP but still needed the line of credit since those weren’t enough for rent and groceries.
My credit score was always excellent up until two years ago where the credit card debt started building. My cat got very sick and long story short i maxed out my 7k credit card on him (worth it, he’s healthy and happy now) and that’s where all the cc debt comes from. I’ve always made my monthly payments that are over $300 on that one cc alone but it all just goes to interest so the principal hasn’t come down much, same with all my other debts
I pay roughly $750 towards debts a month. I just can’t afford that + rent + groceries + other essentials like bus pass, phone bill and medications etc. I quit my low paying job because of an extremely toxic environment and never thought it would take me months to find literally any min wage job especially since I have a degree + leadership experience on my resume.
I’ve only made it this far without working because of what I got back from my tax refund but I have literally no more money left to pay all my debts and am considering filing for bankruptcy (I have an appointment with an LIT to seek professional advice)

2024.05.14 03:22 Kesshami Looking for Advice...Again

So...some of ya'll might remember me, maybe not. It's been a couple years. I wrote here looking for advice about how to write a character based on an ex-best friend that was a liar and a manipulator. If you want to know the deets, here's a link(if it works) to the post: https://www.reddit.com/FanFiction/comments/ww91s5/looking_for_writing_advice/
Anyways, I find myself in a new conundrum. I find myself having a really hard time writing this story. Sometimes I'm fine. Others I'm making progress, but I'm emotionally destroyed. And most times, I'm so emotionally effected that I make no progress for a very long time. As a result, I have made a whopping...two chapter progress...in two years...and that kinda hurts my soul a little bit to realize. That this has hurt my writing, my passion, to this degree. I really, really don't want to abandon this story. I also don't want to just scrap it and start all over, though I have certainly considered it.
I have had plans for a while to write the character out of the story. The problem is, the timeline. You see, I have a chunk of future timeline cowritten with someone. I know they will be ok with me changing the plan to move up writing this character out and handling rewrites of the small bits of what we have written that will affected by it, though I'm entirely sure it will small changes. Like having a best friend, albeit a toxic one, abandon you will affect your ability to open up to people. Moving it up a lot would give me enough time to have her work through some healing process, but it would also give the potential of it seeming rushed? I mean, she is impulsive. It makes sense based on the person. I don't know if the impulsivity really comes across in the character for it to make sense in story, though, as it stands right now.
I'm also in the middle of an arc right now wherein the characters are in the middle of planning a big rescue of Skywarp and Thundercracker from a Decepticon high security prison in order to rescue Starscream from being forced into working for Megatron(cause in this reality of the Transformers-verse, Starscream never actually wanted to work for Megatron). Theoretically there's time I could take a chapter's break to do like a mission with main character off on like a first solo mission or something like that to test her readiness for the rescue mission and return to toxic character having just...up and left, reflecting something she did irl once and effectively writing her out of the story much sooner than later.
The problem I'm having is.....would that be too sudden? Impulsive character. Lots of conflict going on with her and the bots right now, especially between her and main character and Elita. Reflective of something that happened irl. Would give me time to work on main character healing between that and already written future stuff where it would still at least kind of make sense that she is open with the bots in the other reality. But also, just conflict then full stop she gone, just not there. No explanation. Again, sort of reflective of irl, where it's sudden and only somewhat of an explanation.
I could also take a couple chapters. Like one has some neutrals show up for a visit and then the next one is the mission and main character returns to toxic character having left with the neutrals without having said anything to her about leaving, just doing so. Toxic character probably would barely say bye to anybody cause that's how irl person has always done it. As I said, impulsive. Like, conflict is happening, strongly does not want to deal with it, sees and is offered a way out, takes it. There's another thing this could be used to explain as well, so I might use this regardless of timing.
So I guess my main dilemma is this.....Do I finish the arc of saving Starscream's trine first? Or do I utilize the planning time period to write this character that is dragging my trauma up and making it hard to write out of the story almost, if not completely, out of the story?

2024.05.14 03:19 LameV1bes Planning to quit, need advice on my next steps

Hi, I'll be vague and try to keep this short. I've been at my current restaurant for about 1.5 years. Originally coming in there was some kind of miscommunication or misleading verbiage. I thought I'd be hired as a bartender or a felx person but they've kept me on the floor as a server. I've made great money but it comes with both foh and boh managers that at times can be very irritable and constantly plays favorites. The restaurant is currently in the process of a dramatic remodel. I will admit I do have fomo about losing money, the tips can be great, mostly average, but the pay rate is not competive. Other employers are paying almost 4x the base salary.
So I've decided to leave, and I'm applying to both cafes and restaurants. I had one reach out that I've always thought would be fun to work at and I have a interview scheduled.
If I am hired, either as a server or bartender, and then put my two weeks in at my current job how will I go about telling my current employer why I am leaving? I want to leave the door open so I'm thinking of saying something along the lines of "I'm looking to expand my skill set and find a better work life balance."
Idk what do you guys think? Anything else I should mention or do during my resignation to make it a smooth separation?

2024.05.14 03:19 Worldly-Train6643 Boyfriend of 8 years hasn’t proposed

Boyfriend since HS hasn’t proposed
Like the title says… I 24F and boyfriend 25M have been together since we were 16. Broke up for a year during COVID and got back together in 2021. 8 years total.
In 2021, he moved into my small studio apartment. This was fine, as you do what you can for the people you love. After my lease was up, we moved into a 2 bedroom apartment together and have lived together ever since.
We have a really nice, healthy relationship. No fighting, no drama, no toxicity.
However, he doesn’t really do the things that a boyfriend would do, and sometimes I feel like a roommate lol.
Since living together, we don’t go on dates, unless initiated by me, he doesn’t get me flowers, or surprise me with things. I’ve talked to him about it, and he says he understands, but nothing changes. Essentially, it’s feels like there is no initiation on his end to build intimacy between the two of us.
Sometimes, I feel bad for asking for these things since we have a good overall relationship, but every woman wants to feel loved, heard, desired and thought of when they’re not around.
For the past year, I have been probing the idea of marriage and where he falls on the idea. Originally, he wasn’t thinking about marriage and it was the last thing on his mind, (I assume due to his childhood/family life) but I have brought it up enough to where he knows this something I expect to move toward in our relationship. We have had plenty of conversations about it, and it’s is very clear this is a non-negotiable for me.
The last time we spoke about it he said, 2 years is his time frame. While I am not one to force anyone to want to marry me, this seems like an unreasonable amount of time considering how long we have been together as adults. I rebuttled with 1year, when our lease is up.
I feel like a placeholder. It just isn’t something that seems to be a priority to him, and if he won’t deliver on little things like dates or flowers, how can I expect more of a gesture from him like proposing?
He says that he wants to have enough money to give me the life I deserve, while this is a sweet thought, how long will that be ? 2, 3, 4 years? While financial stability is everyone’s goal, does love and commitment not super-cede this? We have been regular, full-time hourly employees for the entirety of living together, so I understand the strain of wanting/needing more money, but I am not asking for a super expensive ring or a super lavish wedding just an engagement with some kind of commitment.
I feel selfish for saying that I am not keen to wait any longer for him to fully commit to me, and I really don’t believe in ultimatums. However, at this point, I am unsure if I am being unfair and impatient.
To add to it, I became pregnant last month, and decided against keeping it. I would like to be married first and have myself in order before bringing a child in this world. After the MA process, I feel less sad about the pregnancy and more so have been reconsidering the status/pace of our relationship.
Any ideas on why he hasn’t proposed? Am I unreasonable and selfish? Am I just a placeholder?
TL;DR - boyfriend since high school, living together (as adults for 3 years) hasn’t proposed, and doesn’t do much to keep the intimacy of our relationship (dates, flowers, surprises, etc) he says 2 years before he will propose, but how long do I wait for an engagement before calling it quits?

2024.05.14 03:18 WhoDatBrow Small win: Made it back to the 230s after regaining all lost weight + some extra

I struggled with weight my whole childhood, mainly due to parents who instilled absolutely zero discipline and self control in me. I'm not sure how much blame is on me, since I was a kid, but I was allowed to eat seconds and thirds of every meal. Sodas and sweet tea galore. And I'm from Louisiana so the food was incredible but extremely unhealthy. Due to this, I was over 230 pounds by the time I was 18. I'm 5'11" (and at the time was closer to 5'9.5") so this is firmly in the obese category. One week I got sick with the flu and ate an extremely low amount of calories due to the sickness, I lost 12lbs in a week, a lot of which was surely water weight of course, but it was the kick in the ass to make me feel like I could do it. If I could eat nothing while sick, I could eat a normal but lower than what I was used to amount while healthy. I also just wanted to be happy with myself and how I looked, which I certainly wasn't. So over the course of the next .5-1 year I lost a lot of weight down to 170 at my lowest. I maintained for a while, went back up to 195ish for a while and maintained there, then eventually fell back into old habits a couple of years later, gaining an extra 75+ pounds to now 272 being my highest recorded weight ever. I didn't weight myself for almost 3 years and had no idea how much more I had gained. I knew I for sure had gained up to at least that 230 number once again, but I didn't realize how much over it I went.
It seemed like an absurdly long road to me, I had lost the weight once before and knew I had the discipline within me to do it, I just had to find it again. But it was so demotivating to me to know that I had to lose over 30 pounds just to even get to the 230s again, like my highest the first time around, let alone the extra 60 pounds. I pushed through that demotivating factor though and started CICO again. The one good part was I got to lose at the same pace as before but with a higher calorie count due to the extra 40 pounds, haha. It made it even easier to CICO than the last time. For me it was mostly just cutting out soda and snack calories, as I've only ever eaten two meals a day and only mildly high portions with those two meals, so i didn't have to change much there. As of today, I weighed in at 238.8, where my previous low was 240.0, so I finally got to see that number tick into the 230s once again. I'm 111 days into the CICO journey this time around according to MFP, so I'm losing at almost exactly 2 pounds a week, which is great and feels sustainable. Next stop is getting that first number to start with a "1" again. :)

2024.05.14 03:18 Pasty_Pumpkin88 I am opposed to euthanasia; change my mind

I am sorry for writing this on this specific subreddit, but I simply could not find a place where I could express this on the internet, and I really want to hear others' perspectives on this matter.
For some context: I am from Canada, a country where euthanasia is legal and relatively common. About six years ago, my grandfather's best friend, who was an extremely close family friend, was diagnosed with severe onset Parkinson's disease. This man and his wife were essentially family to me; they would come to Friday night dinners for as long as I can remember. Around this time, he wrote an amazing recommendation for me to get into my dream program at university (he was a prominent lawyer).
Around two years ago, his disease became progressively worse, and he began to consider euthanasia. Although it was none of my business, I was personally always strongly opposed to it. Despite his pain and suffering, I saw moments where he seemed to truly enjoy and live life. He still had some joy and, of course, he had his wonderful wife. Unfortunately, his condition significantly worsened, and he was forced to permanently live at the local hospital. Even with all of this, every time I or my family would visit, he always seemed to have a little spark left, whether it was simply a joke or gossip about his friends. He always seemed so alive—not well, per se, but alive.
Eventually, I was told (I was about 17 at the time) that his talks of euthanasia were truly going through. Surprisingly, both his wife and my grandfather, his best friend and confidant, supported the decision, stating that he needed to do this to be "released from this pain." My grandfather even stated that if he were in the same situation, he would want this as well. I was extremely saddened to hear this news, but out of respect for this man and his family, I chose to remain silent. He was eventually legally euthanized, and I attended his funeral.
Over the past two years, I have noticed that my grandfather and his widow have both become less supportive of euthanasia, as has much of my family. It is a very taboo and undiscussed topic in my family. I always regretted, even though it wasn’t my place, that I didn’t try to convince him that he still had things to live for, like his friends, family, and his new grandchild that was on the way. I discussed this with my grandfather, and to my surprise, he said the same, stating that he was also questioning the use of euthanasia based on what he saw his friend go through and regretted not simply asking him why this was the only pathway left.
Now to bring up what set this off: I attend university, and my professor asked the class what we were passionate about (I am in pre-med). A girl in the back of the class stood up and stated she is passionate about aiding and performing euthanasia to "help others release the pain." This brought back all the sadness and concern that I never expressed to my family friend. I lashed out as a result of this and reprimanded this girl in front of the entire class about the awful results (in my opinion) of euthanasia. This is pretty uncommon for me considering I am usually quiet and reserved. I was met by blank stares and disgusted faces throughout the crowd. Even my own friends in the class disagreed with me, disapproved of my opinion, and stated that euthanasia is "an honorable way to die" and "necessary" in many cases.
All of this has left me confused, and I would like to know real, solid counter opinions to my belief that euthanasia is an awful thing. People who support euthanasia, please give logical reasons why you believe this is so.

2024.05.14 03:17 throwaway4heartqs How should I approach this fleeting chest pain thing

It's not currently an emergency. 35, male, in the US. Thanks for reading my novel, I've tried to cover everything. TLDR I _think_ I'm pretty healthy, but I've been having a few pangs of chest pain that are out of the normal for me.
I've had no health problems as an adult other than seasonal allergies, common colds, and I got covid twice (after vaccination but everybody's a statistic eventually). My BMI has been 23-29 as an adult, recently closer to 23 because I got into bicycling and I do it around 15 hours per week for both commuting and exercise. I've never smoked cigarettes or used drugs harder than marijuana. I socially drink alcohol two to three nights a week but not to the point of feeling unwell the next morning. I take a multivitamin daily, a Claritin daily during allergy season i.e. now, and I eat vegetables when I see them but otherwise don't closely monitor my diet. One parent survived a heart attack in their 60s, no other family heart problem history.
My concern: a couple weeks ago, while I was out on a long brisk walk of around 2 hours, I felt a single beat of pain in my left chest, around where my heart is. That's happened maybe three times before in my life, and it wasn't overwhelming pain, but it naturally occupies all of your attention when something like that happens in that region, where I normally feel nothing. I didn't experience any spreading pain, didn't feel dehydrated, and was able to carry on with the walk. My smartwatch said my heart rate then was around 115 (it's 65-ish resting).
Normally, no harm, no foul, but the next day, on another long walk, the same thing happened: a beat of pained panic with a very definite but not overpowering or sharp pain point, centered on the left chest, then I'm able to continue normally. It didn't happen again for several days after that, and I haven't noticed it during anything more intense like bicycling. I did feel another one yesterday, Sunday, that lasted around twice as long as the previous ones, again during a long walk. This is certainly the first time in my life I've experienced multiple of these in a short time span. I felt generally shitty yesterday but my HR and blood pressure were both normal when I checked them. Feeling fine again today.
I figure I should "get this checked out," but I don't even know where to begin. I haven't had a primary care doc since childhood and I'm currently on a self-granted long break between jobs in a stressful industry so no traditional health insurance.
What info have I left out? What tests should I ask for? What kind of conditions are *probable* / should I expect based on my info? Is it fine to keep going on long walks? Anything I can do to manage the risk if I need to wait until I'm on real health insurance? Is my heart going to pop like a grape any day now?

2024.05.14 03:17 mydogate8crayons Hello everyone! I need your opinion, would I be wrong if I blocked/lessen my talking to this boy?

so basically i been talking to this boy for a while. backstory cuz they're imporant, me and these two girls have a class together and one day they came to my other class and basically was like "this boy wanna talk to you" and i was like whatever probably not me, but i followed him on ig and he immediately followed back and was like "hey ive seen you around school n i think u cute" so i was like whatever, and since that day we been talking,
he admitted he liked me. in text, he was like "i just really like you and wanna get to know you more" and he had a long list of reasons he liked me. so, its not like we've just been talking, he has admitted that he has a crush on me. ALSO, he told me he would follow me to classes, look in my classes to see me occasionally, and he asked some of his female friends for help on finding out who i was.
he comes to my classes to say hi to me because we dont got classes together. but he got suspended cuz something and i noticed like i understand responding can be a lot for some people, like mentally so i understand. but i just personally felt like you're suspended and he would rant to me about how he was bored n didn't have shit to do, so why are u taking 3-7 hours to text back...whatever, alright.
now, let me just say i totally believe men and women can be friends. i totally believe that! but when he's posting a photo on ig and there are multiple girls commenting calling him nicknames, commenting hearts, etc, i just wonder "hmm" but whatever! i try not to get jealous, i believe men and women can be friends.
but when youre posting on your story a girl in her prom dress, with a big ass red heart in the middle, with the lyrics to ariana grande's intro (end of the world), i wonder, what the fuck? cuz why have you admitted you liked me, stalked me, but you're posting "If the sun refused to shine. baby, would I still be your lover? would you want me there?" i'm wondering damn! why am i still entertaining him?
SHOULD I BLOCK HIM OR AM I OVERDRAMATIC?

2024.05.14 03:17 existing_animal11 (long) Story time: I was traumatized as a child by the weekly “Tamil school”

I am seriously doxxing myself by making this post, but if anyone I know sees this, hopefully you can see the perspective nobody in my community saw.
Since 1st grade, my p@rents insisted that I go through a weekly Tamil school which was in person, but they switched to zoom classes in 2020. I started in 2013 when I was 5, and graduated when I was 13. My last two years were on Zoom.
I was an uncooperative little shit as a kid, I fought to the death to not do the weekly Tamil homework on weekends, and I frequently made a fool of myself in class. I was relatively goofy and mostly unfunny to make up for my insecurities, and this pretty much showed to everyone in my class, which was about 8 people who I would stick with until graduation in 8th grade.
After about two years of getting comfortable and also making a fool of myself, I sort of retracted myself and my goofy persona because of bullying. I didn’t fight with the volunteer teachers, who made me feel like I was in a boot camp. The worst part was my classmates’ being comfortable with bullying me, especially this one girl and her friends. Every Friday was just fighting with my p@rents to not go, and then showing up and being bullied and mocked. This kept up for a really long time, and I grew resentful and depressed. There were frequently in person events to perform plays, and this was even worse. The teachers frequently yelled at me, that one girl and her friends kept bullying me, and my p@rents wouldn't stop nagging me for fighting to go to this.
The fact that my pa@ents made me do this made me distrust them on a really concerning level, and I sort of continued to grow isolated. Nobody knew it at the the time but these things would cause severe behavioral issues later down the line, if they weren’t causing problems already.
I should also mention that Tamil people have this really strong connection to their language, which is why they fight so hard for their kids to learn and live the language. I spoke Tamil to my p@rents as a kid even before I started going to this school every Friday, but my god, the amount of suffering I endured made me resent the language as a whole. Tamil in itself makes me cringe really hard, and I find it incredibly difficult to make myself speak it, although this is probably a me problem that I haven't gotten over yet.
Back to the story. In my last 4 years, I became an extremely violent person. I physically fought with other kids at this school, not just with my classmates. It spiraled out of control, and the last years were spent fighting with everyone and ticking like a time bomb waiting to explode, which ended up happening on my graduation day of my last year. Nobody saw the warning signs, and neither did I. I was broken inside.
The organization holds a graduation at the end of every year for all kids, and if it's your last year, you're supposed to give a speech talking about how much you learnt. Obviously, my p@rents being Indian p@rents, made me write up a big speech to tell to this audience of maybe 300 people and kids with the rest of my class on stage. Everyone knew by this point that I was struggling really hard at this, but nobody thought to think that there may be underlying mental health issues as a result.
The day of the graduation and speech, I blew. I was to wear a graduation gown before going on stage. Instead, I took it off and wore it on my waist like a hoodie. This was enough to warrant stares and murmurs, but when the mic was handed to me to give my speech, my years of so-called dignity were over. I didn't give the speech. Instead, I threw up a middle finger and audibly said "Fuck all of you r*tarded assholes and fuck you for making me do this shit. And fuck all of you idiots who I had the shame of calling my classmates for the past 8 years." I then proceeded to run off stage and laugh my ass off while the entire crowd of 300 people turned to look at my p@rents with the most disdain. Nobody was expecting it, and to be honest, neither was I. It just came out after all those years, and to this day, I am ashamed that's what I ended up saying. I was an immature 13 year old, and I guess that's just how things roll when you're an undiagnosed autistic 13 year old with anger management issues.
In the aftermath, my p@rents refused to speak to me and they ended up apologizing to everybody. I'm glad it was my official last day. The next 2 years would be spent pulling out of school and going full online public school, dealing with suicidal ideation, and depression. I blame those 8 years of hell on them, but also myself to an extent. I should've known better and I didn't. On the plus side, I got a cool certificate saying I'm fluent in Tamil, lol.
Today, I'm doing a lot better. I graduated early, started community college, and made peace with these things. I later on apologized to my teachers for my anger issues, and they also apologized to me. I never spoke to my classmates again, although I will admit that the girl who bullied me so much is probably going through her own issues, which she decided to take out on me. My f@ther apologized to me for not knowing what was happening, but my m0ther didn't. But that's to be expected from a traditionalist Indian m0m.
I know I've done a lot of yapping here, but I just want everybody who reads this to know, it's okay to not want to do something, and your experiences are so so valid. I see other kids who fight with their p@rents at these Tamil school events (my sister is still a student there), and I make sure to speak with these little kids and let them know to come tell me anything if they ever feel unsafe there and they are too scared to tell their p@rents (which has actually worked!). The organization continues to struggle with mostly hard Tamil traditionalists in charge, trying to get little kids to adopt not just the Tamil language, but also the Tamil vigor. I firmly believe that most kids won't go through an experience like mine, but for those who do, it's okay to want out, and I continue to do my part to help kids who do want out. I was told so many times that I must keep fighting because of "my culture", but culture must be adapted to in a passive manner, not shoved and forced like it was done to me. I hope change will come soon in this little bubble.
Thanks for reading my story :)

2024.05.14 03:17 mbcook Stuck half way through, need help

I’m not looking for a direct answer, more of a hint as to what direction I should go in so I can continue to solve things myself. I’ve seen every chapter except the one held back, 8, so it’s not like I’ve missed a scene. I was having a ton of fun doing this but I’ve just gotten totally stuck.
I have solved 1-3, 6, 10-14, 18 & 19, 23-26, 31, 33, 35, 37-39, 42 & 42, 48 & 49, 51-54, 56. The game tells I have three easy ones at the moment (one triangle) which are 3-1, 5-4, 9-2.
I’m aware of the bunks in 2-1 and 7-2 and using that to get info. i’m pretty sure I know who did a couple of other things but since I’m missing the name of one person or the other and I can’t seem to find it I can’t actually enter it. And I don’t have enough correct put in to have another set of three verified. In fact when my last set of three was verified I thought I had at least two more that were done but obviously not.
I’m just not sure where I should be looking at this point to be able to figure out more. Can someone suggest where to look next?

2024.05.14 03:16 Reasonable_Bar_4456 Requesting help finding my irrigation shut-off valve

Requesting help finding my irrigation shut-off valve
Hi - I live in Southern California in a 1939 home.
The solenoid on one of my irrigation valves is broken, so I thought I would do a quick DIY solenoid replacement fix.
I made a dumb error and just learned that shutting off the water to my house does not shut off the water to my irrigation.
Can you help me find where my irrigation shut-off valve is? I'm attaching photos of the valve box that was next to the home shut off valve - after digging through a foot of dirt, I think I've found something...
Thank you in advance for the help!

2024.05.14 03:16 Quiganta- What would you pick? (1000 pts league)

Hi all,
Will be joining a 1000 pts league next month and have to supply my list within a week. I could use your thoughts on my choices.
Info: - League is known to have more tank heavy lists than chaff lists. - A lot of marines lists with termies and normal marines. - In the list you're only allowed to pick two of the same units instead of three. - I will not play Sunrays and Hammerheads. I do have Broadsides but can't attach the missle pods to them.
General tactics: - Starscythe: clear the chaff at my opponents DZ. Then hop back up to kill whatever chaff is next. - Sunforge: Hit the biggest enemy threat and make use of the grenade racks to inflict some final mortal wounds. - Ghostkeels: Both there to draw attention and to fck around while taking over one or two objectives. Picked a profile for general dmg and one anti tank so I'll be good on both fields. - Stealthsuits: My own little infantry buddies. Take, probably the home, objective and guide. Also some nice final infantry killers.
Pitfalls: - I'm heavy on vehicles so Bring it Down is not in my favor. However, it's still a friendly league and most of the time people don't pick fixed even if they know about BiD. - I only have 6 units. This is not much to cover the board and take objectives. Meaning I have to make thorough decisions on where to place my units. Two deep striking and lone op units do help a bit. - I will not be screening and accept opponents deep strikers. The board is just too big to screen effectively with 1000 pts.
Food for thought: - I'm doubting to swap out one Ghostkeel for a Shadowsun and a Kroot Carnivor unit. This way I have a dedicated chaff that can hold my own objective and make it sticky and can be used as a general secondaries unit as well. I like Shadowsun and have learned how to play with her. Even though she's no Ghostkeel, she really packs a punch as well and I maintain my two lone op units.
