Hi all! I'm looking to join or start a new TTRPG as a player. I've been playing in a 5e campaign for a few months, but would like to join another group that is more experienced / willing to put in the effort to learn their character's abilities, create a backstory, etc.
I'm in my early 30s and would prefer to play with folk 25+. Would also be really cool to have other people of color and/or other women at the table, but not a must. I like a good mix of RP and combat. Totally open to a more serious campaign or something with a lighter tone; I will do my best to match whatever the DM has in mind. I also have experience with a PbtA-esque game as a GM, and am open to learning a new system (eg. is anyone starting a Daggerheart game I can join?)
The main thing I'm looking for is to have a good time rolling dice and collaboratively telling a story!

If I could add two flairs I’d put retransitioning too, but here goes, in 2015 at the age of 12 I came out as transgender (FtM) and socially lived as male for 7-8 years. I detransitioned because I was so unhappy with my life as a man, I felt worthless as a man, and still felt worthless as a female when I tried to detransition. I’ve chalked up that to living with narcissistic and unsupportive family. It doesn’t matter which way I go, they will never truly love me. I’ve been treated as nothing but an obstacle since the age of 12 when I had to move in with my narcissistic grandmother.
All of my needs were inconveniences and dismissed entirely. My grandpa was the one that helped me get testosterone, he drove me to all of my appointments (they never let me get my drivers license either because I’m “too immature”) and now they only want me to get it because me not having a license inconveniences them, which I understand but they should’ve let me go to driving school when I asked them about it on my 15th birthday. I’m 21 now with no real accomplishments in life.
I have a shitty job but that’s it. I’ve spent the past 6 years dependent on smoking weed because when I’m sober the emotions that come up are way too much for me to handle, I get extremely suicidal and angry and it lasts for weeks until I get high again.
I started testosterone in November of 2018 and had to stop in December of 2021 because I aged out of my pediatric endo’s system. Wouldn’t even refill my prescription or anything, didn’t give me any referrals either. I thought maybe I’d be happier if I just tried living as a woman as an adult, it made me a lot worse mentally so i restarted testosterone in 2022 with plume. Now, the doctor I had for plume let me do whatever the crap I wanted with my dose and me being stupid I kept asking for him to raise it. My dose winded up being way too high and I had a chronic yeast infection that wouldn’t go away so I stopped the high dose testosterone cold turkey in October of 2022.
This was extremely hard on my body and I feel like it damaged my heart (I have weird palpitations sometimes) and I went sort of crazy for a few months afterward. I laid off the weed for the most part during this time too because my brain was just so fucked up from the massive shift in hormones so suddenly.
My family found out I stopped the testosterone and went back to calling me my deadname and she/her. They haven’t stopped despite my requests. My grandma called me crazy yesterday for “going back and forth” and made all sorts of comments about me not shaving my legs and asking me about me and my boyfriend’s sex life. Luckily my boyfriend is okay with me being trans and calls me by my correct name, but his family doesn’t know and he doesn’t want to tell them because he doesn’t want them to look at him a certain way. This hurts me deeply and I don’t know how to bring it up to him because when he told me, I said it was fine because I didn’t want to start any problems. Almost everyone at my job knows I’m trans because I guess my caller ID shows my deadname… so every time I’ve called the store it pops up with my old name. So most managers have seen it. My phone and number is on my grandparents account and I’m not sure if they’d change it, as me simply asking to not be called my deadname is too much now.
I’ve been trying to stay positive and eat healthy and go to the gym but it’s so fucking hard when my body physically feels so wrong. It feels like an ill fitting outfit.. so moving around a ton and shit like cardio feels horrible. I focus more on weightlifting because of this.
Every aspect of my life feels so incredibly difficult. I feel like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders all of the time, no wonder I went back in the closet. I thought my family would love me if I just tried being a girl again but surprise surprise that didn’t change anything. They’re still abusive. I wish I didn’t exist. I want to go back on hormones, but I want to do it with a doctor that actually knows what they’re doing and not some plume doctor I have to pay hundreds of dollars a month, for the subscription and the medication.
I’m supposed to be getting ready for work right now but I can’t stop crying. At least the couple of trans women at my job are nice and have my back. I’m so tired of being an embarrassment to my boyfriend and being labeled as crazy by my family for struggling with staying transitioning. Who the fuck would want to continue transitioning when almost everyone in their life is against it? I never feel like I can just be myself without dealing with more emotional abuse.

Good afternoon anybody, somebody, nobody, & everybody
all evidence DM ME
My name is Jain Kunwar
I am a retail trader for 3.5 years.
I am not an ape, I am not an institutional investor, I am not a hedge fund.
Nor do I have any clients.
I do not provide personalised investment advice for fees or commissions or tax purposes.
I'm just an individual investor who did my own research like Detective Columbo/Pikachu.
I come from a broken family, I have been to prison, I have been homeless even at 15 for many years.
I am not a good person, but I am seeking salvation from God.
I been doing Heroin since the age of 13, sober 8 years since the day I pleaded out to God in Merton station London at 1 am asking God to save me.
Which I believe in myself he did because shortly…….
Soon after, I went prison by confessing all my crimes and the judge let me run it concurrently for being honest that I need help and I had no foundation and healed a bit moving forwards in life.
I was born on May 10th, 1994, in Nepal Butwal. Home of the Gurkhas
I came to England 2002 November & have lived here since.
I class my self as Asian British A9
I have been repenting for my sins happily, paying off my debts and learning to be a good human being for I was a sinner till I met Jesus in Church of England.
My one and only father Jesus.
I have been following and invested in Game stop for a long time.
I started educating myself about the stock market since then.
I have been buying shares of GameStop Since 2021 But since 2021 June been incurring losses through market manipulation techniques I.E.
I had been denied withdrawals/ buying or selling options, leveraging options from Capital.NLY

Which incurred me 6 Grand losses on June 2021 and God knows how much/many other investors BIG or small in all exchanges that this effected.
I also have evidence of numerous times the trading app has halted its trade for more then 30 minutes to an hour in a single day! But for these I have videos more then images
I am happy to hand it over if you tell me where to send it.
They kept ignoring me until a month ago in May the 10^th 2024 will touch base here later(miracle)
I have what’s app records of me trying to make complaints throughout the years with no redemption or straight answers.
I once spoke to an employee male & female one said, “We are experiencing some technical difficulties” this was about 1-2 years ago.
The Craziest thing was the ticker was moving in other exchanges just not in the one I was trading from.
Once it didn’t even open for 1.5 hours when it was open everywhere else
It finally opened at 10:49 how I know? I experienced this.
Under the FCA regulations all registered Trading Companies have a duty to protect investors from glitches and “technical difficulties”
Which They failed to do so for me I speak for myself and only what I have experienced.
The company even has glitched my leveraging system of 5-1 which was the setting since joining the company.
where, even if you pick 5-1 you only receive 2-1.
I have evidence of this as well & it’s not the first time either.
I know this has been done 100x of times if you take a Deeper Dive in the company’s own trading platform.
You won’t be able to find in other exchanges as other exchanges are working well so you cannot see the reason as its all “inter- linked”.
“Inter-linked “exchanges one falls apart whilst others are moving causing direct market manipulation.
Quoting blade runner “inter-linked”


Since then, I have been sent death threats anonymously.
Which also I can prove It was sent by him by connecting some dots with you
I met the owner in Wembley stadium in Corporate Box I was invited by Mr Stephen O
He contacted me and invited me to his corporate box on 8/6/24 I went there to find clarity as hackers have been going through my phones and social media with death threats.
Currently he is getting his hackers to find out where my siblings are and such as those are the type of questions I am getting in my social media platforms.
I call it phsing, smishing and vhising all 3 were used on my network.
Using carefully relaying questions in segment to build a definitive answer by narrowing down the wrong answers.
Like how it asks me what horoscope I am, Questions like use your initials to create a Japanese name.
Narrowing down an answer what every analytical mind would do.
I have been going through this since May 10^th after he contacted me.
I have said my name is J to every one of these questions should be in my social media history.
Notice how it says JJ DEAD MAN COVER
i.e
Notice how I met the Owner at 8/6/24 1 pm corporate box …there are plenty cameras there.
I like to be clear here I do not know this person or have his number for him to be coming to my social media as people “whom I know”.
I believe it was the vhising technique of his goons on hire you can see my history for the past month in call history I been getting scam calls left right and centre.
I will also give a copy of screen recording on request.
Then I went home and put a video of his trading app chart not moving like other exchanges for example having a 1-minute ticker symbol does not move for 30 minutes in graph line on my social media suddenly,
I see a people “whom you might know” soon after I posted the video.
I only went to the corporate box because he told me he has over 300 people retail traders coming which I was the only retail there apart from 5 millionaires 4 of which I believe they own the company only speculation whom others are currently.
But I felt an eerily vibe So I did not eat their food or take their hospitality which was probably funded by investors like me getting robbed blind because he thought no one would notice.
I also met a man there I spoke to him he told me His trading account was transferred to their platform.
The clue is there which accounts have been moved without consent or choice?
He will plan to bring all in one to have more control and doing this also erases all traces of manipulation in the trading platform it moved from a very sly way to delete history.
Should not affect me though I joined capital.com ticker symbol. NLY as my first and only trading app.
I have lost all history of my trade’s funds and even portfolios deleted without notice of consent why is he observing my account and why is he deleting everything without my consent? He knows he did me wrong that’s why because he uses capital.com to manipulate the market into his interest.
I can identify all 4 of them even though I only spoke to Mr S.O over the phone and only know their name.
I ended up being the only retail trader there, A poor man in a Billionaires Club
So out of place
I just can’t figure out why, Can you?
The ticker symbol has to be moving according to the time even if the price does not fluctuate the time has to keep moving like kinetic energy.
It has to be moving unless halted which can be only 35 minutes per day but I have counted over 1 hour gone in some days


I have been through mental trauma with hackers trying to hypnotize me with flashing lights and other spiral colour techniques mind you.
I am an epileptic which I grew out of when I was 15 which is highly reactive to epileptic people.
Miracle indeed, as many don't, certainly not after adult hood.

Also, they have tried to ask me questions to figure out whom I am on my social media,
I got closer to their crimes and my truth and they wanted to know what I know or make me join them as per the invitation I believe bribing me to survive another few years maybe?
Hope you Enjoyed the Corporate box Kenny it was from the money you stole from me!
Steal from the poor how dare you?
pushing pornographic and other Hypno/flashing light techniques to my social media platforms
also using racial harassment by calling me Paki Psycho
At least get the country right! Originally from Nepal BITCH Gurkhas Salute!
We both know whom we are now S.O
Which over the past 3 years have also caused me to lose everything…..
money, love, joy, sanity & dreams.
I have been Robbed constantly from these techniques they use also the withdrawal rejection from 10000 to even 100 this was very recently too. Have some images to reference this too.
I log almost everything I do.
That’s just how I found healing/clarity by writing it down.
I spoke to a person named Emma who told me to withdraw,
I have to show all my cards even the bank card “HSBC” which was bankrupt and stopped without consent.
Jokes on them I still had it Q.Q ahahaaha even after I showed them it didn’t work.
Until 3 days later after I lost 65% of my investment.
I like to point out, I mentioned to HSBC many times I am currently struggling and am willing to pay in an instalment plan.
What I can because I did not want my account to close ever as it would effect my credit score most indefinitely.
Also, the weirdest request was they asked me to show them a picture of the different Barclays Cards I have with the same account number.
saying it must be the same card but it’s the same account number same card basically so why?
I replied, I put the money from my apple pay send it back to my apple pay card he said please send us an email of all your cards indirectly refusing to let me withdraw whilst I am in profit.

So, I sent them by email which I should have on my email “for reference”.
He also mentioned he will be my account manager and watch my account after the first time he called me because I am a “premium” account.
I still am a premium account with minimum 5-1 leveraging glitched to 2-1 with only 400 pounds left in my account and still watches where and when as my judgement has been good when to buy.
Buy low sell high! Or just hold but I couldn’t do any of these.
I believe it took him this long for many years the issue was my real name and my social media are not the same people.
As I do not have a social media account anywhere with my real name.

He started taking control of my account and portfolios since the day he contacted me on 2024 May 5-15 around the same time I started losing again drastically.
Unfortunately, I cannot provide you how much money I had made in profits or losses because “My account manager of a premium account less then 50 grand had deleted all my portfolios and trade history to clear his name”.
My account portfolio was called Bullish-CFD
Glory CFD and 3 gbps cfds I ended up with one named GBP usd
How the name changed I do not know
I suspect he closed my shared and opened it in a different portfolio causing 8888 amc share sale in my account 1112 GME shares.
As these most of these shares were bought months ago which I believe he has to pay for borrowing he doesn’t have to pay if it was new trades, I suspect this happened here.
Why else would I not the Portfolio I had designated names on.
This can also explain why my trade history has been wiped.
I did not do this I did not consent this nor was I notified.
Let me make this clear I do not have any controls or jurisdiction to wipe my history of trades if you could compare with other users to see if they have been wiped out and why it has been wiped out as its detrimental for Securities Agency to have correct data of everything that is going on with trading exchanges.
Which makes me believe more in the investment of AMC & GME.
I also believe Mr S.O prior to 2 years ago before all these new rules started coming, he was using his trading account to artificially increase profits by making a profit/gain.
I.E you open a position in a stock that is about to split in the market or going through one.
Let’s say its 2 5-1 reverse split now its 10 he made 8 decimal gains instead of changing the shares according to the split.
This crime trick he used to manipulate the market ended when sundial went for a share split reverse.
I came to realise this when I ventured in a demo account, and it worked but I didn’t do it with real money as that is not the right way.
I am trying to be good doing it the right way.

I have worked physically demanding jobs for many years working 6 days -7 days per week doing 55-65 hours per week, killed my joy in life and even went without food to invest in this company as I believe in the Company board, company outlook and company fundamentals all 3 checks out as a great investment to my eyes a hat trick to a quad trick now.
Putting money in it almost every month in the past 3-4 years.
My journey ends here with my Losses from market manipulation but I will reveal the truth!!!
They have robbed us again and again even the government has been robbed.
just for their benefit ruined many people’s lives all over the world.
Especially now that the company managed to be stable and grow profits.
But the issue here is not my losses it’s the market manipulation.
the company is doing all they can to not close their losing trade which is the
THE BOX everyone is talking about, but no one is knowing about somebody may know though.
Maybe investigate their wives’ accounts and you might find it on a marginal line red line in this account.
The blonde lady. Wearing navy blue jeans. Bingo!
Mr Stephen O has tried bribing me in social media sending women over my home to seduce me but my dog did her job right! And sensed the intentions I know this because I had a media pushed through my social media saying do you want me to send you two women to seduce me in hiding his criminal behaviours but this is not about me
He has robbed millions of people .

I have evidence of this as well to turn it in his favour as I believe he is short on GameStop which is a direct Conflict of interest “the reasons why I am been having these trading technical issues “
Trying to turn you into a gambler not investor! By taking away the withdraw, buy or sell!!!
You see,
The universe spoke to me, and I am becoming the voice for everybody who are being robbed by this man.
Call it a sign, a cohencidence or just dumb luck!
I am not a messiah though I just uncovered the truth!
2 weeks before my birthday on May 10^th,, a stray kitten gave birth to 4 kittens and left only one behind. The squeeze began on my Birthday no fucking way!!!!!!!!
I/we have since, been taking care of her.
Meet My Newborn Kitten.

At 2 weeks old.

I also have a conspiracy theory on this as an attempt to harm my kitten.
To destroy me and make me stop trading.
I have frozen the medication Dr Elliot not a regular vet from that practice.
Well not the ones we see anyways 2 out 3 times.
My kitten was very ill shortly after taking the medication was also recommended to euthanised my kitten.
If you see her now you won’t believe why they would ever recommend this.
Of course, I argued and took control of the situation and saved her.
When I am back on my feet, I am going to a professional to check it out completely.
I like to remind you I already have a dog in this house for that cat to dare to come in my yard and give birth its like it was meant to be here cats? get it?
She is about 2.2 times her size now! Growing strong !!! just like GAMESTOP
CANT STOP WONT STOP GAME STOP
In Jesus name can I get AMEN!
b4 I continue...
I currently work as a civil engineer and am on the quest to turn my life around in my Pursuit of Happiness.
Thank heavens as I do not even hold a GCSE another miracle!
That I have this job.
I am a troubled child, but I still have dreams... of making it in life.
Which is providing my future wife and kids with everything I did not receive,
love, attention, guidance and more importantly a home they can sleep comfortably knowing they will have a place to sleep again tomorrow.
But I do not blame anyone as it was a first time for everyone being a father... a mother...even me a son just as guilty.
But I want you to keep reading this story… as it is very important if you have lost in the stock market as there are many other stocks that are missing in chart it was probably getting diluted for someone’s benefit to maybe stabilise their losing trading account.
I get the desperation that’s how I felt scrounging, borrowing money when I felt like I was about to be margin called totally human reaction.
The way he gained the money to stabilise it was totally criminal though.
I feel like he is digging himself a bigger and bigger hole and that hole is up some skunks arse hole by now.
I also like to point out Mr S.O has notified me that capital is a British company, but I have seen it being registered in the state of
This is the Final frontier.

My judgement was clouded by addiction made me do bad things...
I apologise to everyone I caused harm/inconvenience in the past and now.
I really am.
From the bottom of my heart.
my actions were clouded by addiction it took me more than a decade to defeat my heroin addiction.
At this sober state, now If you ask me anything; I’ll tell you even if it gets me in trouble
without a second thought.
I like to point out through out my columbo detective move I came across various information some even I should not know.
All I’m seeking is justice and peace right now and I hope someone can help me get this as I have proof for most of these speculations.
But I believe Mr S.O has been sending his hackers to feed numbers into my head by keep pushing it into my feed.
Because of this I purposely lost all my trades as I will not participate in insider trading sent by Mr S.O to convict me to silence.
Realising I was being watched by numerous people.
I went into a state of hallucinations, insanity.
It was hard but I crawled back out of the hackers infiltrating my device to corrupt my mind and decisions.
I suffer with anxiety and depression already too and have been suffering further since Mr S.O has called me.
I just didn’t know this before he called me, and all the pieces started to connect.

As this type of speculations and claims are only for the wealthy and privileged.
I know I am neither.
I am a very poor man with no land no inheritance no support.
Everything I earn is from these hands that push tools and this mind that tries to learn investing.
At my day job I give my 110% physically
at home
I work my mind 110% to try being an experienced smart investotrader as I know once I have knowledge and skill, I can make money easily after.
Currently, I am sharpening my day trading skills to further increase my knowledge from investor to a trader.
I earning ends meet living pay-check to pay-check and I will continue doing so to save earn invest and one day have a place, which my future family can call our home proudly safely.
But I still see the deep value in a growing company as the more room for growth the more gains the investment will make.
I learnt this from reading and following great investors of this decade I.E DFV videos of GameStop 3 years ago.
I especially like the one where we roll the 8 ball and just find a random ticker and analyse it you never know what dumb luck can bring you.
A school dropout like me to GameStop and I have learnt more things than I did in my lifetime.
You can learn anything in YouTube now amazing really we should use technology to assist us not work for us I strongly believe not use it for our own personal gain just because you have coders.
If you look through their trading app they chart doesn’t even revert the history into split prices SUPER MANIPULATION.

1 I love the stock/I believe in the stock.
2 the company has board members who doesn’t even get salary.
For this they have my trust of my investment and that they will do everything in their knowledge and power to make this company successful as toys brings “JOY” even to adults.

I kept putting more and more invested in this company, but the stock is being manipulated so it doesn’t work everyone will lose as how the conflict-of-interest person wants it he has survived until now because of this but there were no major leads of this I believe.
[Again, I am here to speak about GameStop and the TRUTH]()
I still see GameStop as a great investment.
The company survived Covid 19, also is profitable and stable currently.
With all the current market price fluctuations
Also the price has not dropped below 40! pre split price.
which further strengthens my speculation,
I currently own only 18 shares of GameStop I did have over a thousand.
But the company owners of; Capital.com ticker symbol NLY.
Have done everything they can to make me lose a winning investment.
They took my buy button my sell button and even stopped trading for more than 30 mins and hid it from none trading eyes in the bigger picture.
He also took my shares and diluted it I have incurred about 61 grand losses from my history of trading because of these market manipulation techniques over the past 3-4 years.
I as an investor a client of capital trading app was not treated fairly.
1 Even when I have raised complaints numerous time over the past 3-4 years was shrugged off because I am just well a NOBODY.
I call it a poor man's privileges.
2 Under FCA regulations Glitches or technical failures that cause financial harm to customers is a breach of this rule.
3 I am formally writing a complaint here and raising awareness with evidence of market manipulation!
would like support regarding the Law side of things and what i can recover from being ridiculed and robbed.
Using my food & leisure money to invest in this company.
I sacrificed my Joy for this investment with my hard earned money by working 50-60 hours a week labour 52 weeks per year non stop you can check my work rota records sometimes even 70 per week in physically demanding jobs.
1He has sent me Death threats today of what I am revealing now since meeting him in Wembley Stadium 8/6/26 (have a image of sending me death threats after meeting him today using paid hackers)
1 3/half weeks ago he called me to say I am in a premium account there are 300 of you and I would like to invite you to meet him today
which was really weird why is he putting my account on premium and saying He is going to look after it I am retail trader I have barely any money in account!
and deleted all my portfolio and trade history everything wiped clean!
+I suspect this was getting rid of evidence as I am right at the heart of the Griffin
I know why he took ownership from me without my consent and sold it without me knowing by derivatives and decreased the market value for his personal benefits.
Because he is already manipulating using this trading platform to control the prices elsewhere.
I have evidence of this you can only see it just DM me
if you look at the charts in their trading platform you can see it yourself to say it’s not photo shop.
no one else can notice it if you are not using the same app!!
+
2 Mr Stephen and his goons have been manipulating the stock since gamestop! 2021
+prior to 2 years ago his app would increase profits even from a split share!
I came across this information on 2022 You should recheck all files that are linked to him and splitting shares tickers as he has robbed them blind too.
I was the only retail investor, there alongside his corporate buddies which I am happy to identify and stand as witness.
I felt safe though as I don't even Fear the Darkest Night as I always walked by faith and believed in God has a purpose for me too..
A nobody like me maybe could be somebody one day!

(all hail great DFV) got to pay your respects !
I learnt trading since 2021
“Once there was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to a baker every week.
After several weeks of purchasing butter from the farmer the baker decided to weigh it. To insure it was indeed a full pound.
When he weighed it, he discovered the butter felt short of a pound which enraged him and made him feel cheated and decided to take the farmer to court.
The judge asked the farmer what his method is of weighing the butter.
the farmer replied “your honour, I am poor I do not own any exact measuring tool.
How ever I do have a Scale.
The judge then inquired if the farmer uses the scale to measure the butter the farmer explained.
“Your honour I have been buying a 1 pound of loaf from the baker Long before he began purchasing butter from me,
When ever he brings the bread, I place it on the scale and measure out the same weight to give him in return.
So, if the baker is not receiving a pound of butter he is also not delivering a pound of bread as promised.
The moral you get what you give if you try to cheat others of what they promised them.
You will be cheated in return.

KARMA IS REAL AND KARMA WILL PUNISH ALL OF YOU WILL GO PRISON

Although it is true that it is, by far, mostly insecure uncut men behind the anti-circumcision cope, this goes out to the female foreskin defenders. You know, the bimbos who make their life's work trolling cut men on behalf of their uwu smeglords.
You can like what you like. You can be a fetishist who likes foul hygiene if you wish to be. You can enjoy making 100 visits to your urologist every year, if that's your thing. You can take pride in having no self-respect and in having allowed repulsive uncut men to bully you into submission. And you can certainly leave your son to a future of reproductive problems and illness if you think that's best. No ones stopping you.
But what you don't have to do is spread lies about or denigrate cut men to 'protect' your emotionally illiterate overlords. And you don't have to go after women who have a spine, prioritize their health and don't share in your illness/fetish. And you don't have to jeopardize other parents' ability to choose. People are allowed to prefer cleaner, healthier men, just as you are allowed to have your fetish. And parents are allowed to make a decision that prevents all the problems in the neurotic men you are now forced to defend.
Besides, all you're doing with your militant disrespect and discrimination against cut men is certifying how vile uncut men are. You, and anti-circumcision activism in general, wouldn't have to make up for them around the clock in a variety of absurd ways if they weren't such a burden- fake news journalism, censorship of cut men, etc. All you're screaming from mountaintops is how guilty you are for your fetish. Kindly keep your fetish and guilt to yourselves- we already knew we were correct to choose cut men.

Let me be upfront on this. I am a total asshole. I need a woman who can deal with that. I mean if you don't tell me to lovingly go fuck myself at least once a day then we aren't going to get very far. That being said the combat isn't with each other (mostly). Who are we fighting? EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE ELSE, a shitty monetary system, insurance companies, Republicans and all the other boot lickers, and the general jackassery that is always around. If you are the right person you know what I mean, and you know the world is a target rich environment. You also need to know that fighting the good fight doesn't mean fucking up the lives of the little people. I don't want a Karen that is going to fuck over a grocery store clerk. What I do want is a woman that I can look over and give a nod to and she was already thinking how to distract a guard so some people can get away with the food they were shoplifting.
I could care less what you look like.
I could care less what color you are.
I could care less what age you are.
This is an attitude and aptitude thing. Lots of pretty faces in the world, what there isn't a lot of is a woman to tell me to come home with my shield or on it. Not many women who can grab a sword and fight for the home in my absence. Not many people in general who like to be impulsive anymore. If my work sends me out of town jump on that and come with. Maybe there is a long weekend coming, shit let's do an unplanned road trip.
So now you are saying "Well you really wowed me with all this asshole talk but what is in it for me?". Well you will have a large unflagging, fairly intelligent, and mostly ill-tempered golem always at your back. Yeah, on occasion you are going to say "what the fuck is wrong with him" but I've been taking care of everyone and everything in my life since my Mom got cancer when I was 8 and I am dam good at it. When the world comes for you, they'll have to deal with me first and I can assure you that just being near me solves many an issue.

For example, I say I believe most men, assuming no societal conditioning and no fear of shame, would find young women (18-24) the most sexually attractive. I think this for many reasons mainly because it's a cross-cultural phenomenon.
What TBPillers hear:
"So you mean it's right for a 40 yo to date an 18 yo?????"
What TRPillers hear:
"I am entitled to dating 18 yos because it's natural, anyone over 30 is a used up old hag".
Both of these takes are nonsensical. Why can't people just accept that nature doesn't care? There are animals that r*pe , there are animals that eat their own offspring, there are animals that kill their mate after reproduction. Just because someone says they believe something is natural it doesn't mean they're saying this is how things should be.
A YouTuber named munecat or something recently made a video criticizing evolutionary psychology. Not only half of the people she criticizes in the video are not evolutionary psychologists or even scientists at all, but also she makes the false claim that evolutionary psychology tells you that you can't change the hierarchies in society because hierarchies are natural. I guarantee that no actual evo psychologist actually says that. Evolutionary psychology doesn't tell you what "should" be done.

I know and I understand that’s it’s not fair that drive through drinks get prioritized before in store and mobile orders. I genuinely wish the system was different for you the customers AND me a barista but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t start yelling at me or having an attitude because you had to wait 5 minutes for a drink. Words cannot describe how frustrating of a day it’s been. My store is right off a throughway and right next to a school so a lot of people come winter and summer and we have been packed. Today was another type of hell though. I come in at 9 which is later than usual because typically i’m an opener but whatever, nothing was made backup wise and i instantly get thrown on cold bar which is 5 or more drinks behind and a MESS we don’t have super strong baristas sometimes so Im running between cold bar, front counter, and brewing coffee in a 10 minute cycle while cleaning and restocking my won station, i figure whatever and i get thought it Then im put on hot bar which thankfully my co barista is cleanly and restocked, however now it’s down to four of us rotating on our meals. I wish i was exaggerating when i say I was doing hot bar helping on cold bar helping make food and take dto. Finally i get my meal but when im back im on dt which isn’t bad but im also doing front and restocking and making backups just to be switched and put back on bar soloing because another barista wasn’t strong enough for the rush which i understand and its okay, except its still just three of us and i have LITERALLY 20 drinks lined up to do myself. We get through that rush to and finally i restock and i clean and another rush comes where there’s only two of us because my Shift had to go on a meal. This is where I get pissed off, up until now i’m struggling but everyone for the most part is understanding, clearly it’s been a rough day and clearly im sweating and struggling with 10 different tickets pulled. This women comes in and is staring my down while i take dto and make drinks and my co worker goes to take her order. she waits maybe 5 minutes? i doubt honestly, and goes so did you just forget about my drinks? I tell her i’m sorry they’re up next but unfortunately our drive through times are timed so we have to prioritize them but I have yours up next to make anyway. She says well i don’t think that very fair to me for choosing to come in. I tell her no it’s not i wish the system was different. she goes so you’re still not going to make them? AS IM TURNING AROUND TO MAKE HER DRINKS. I upgrade her size I bite my tounge i get her a recovery card im DRENCHED in coffee and i give them to her and let her know about the upgrade and she goes yeah well you should’ve upgraded me for making me wait and maybe if you were better at your job or had more people here this would’ve happen to you, when i say I have the dumbest look on my face purly of disbeilief.
Anyway, long story short. Don’t be like her, im not even a shift so i have no control over calling people in or scheduling. Unbiased I am the strongest bar partner and have been with starbucks for 3 years There was nothing else i possibly could’ve done to make any drink faster. When it’s two people and >20 drinks. PLEASE be understanding that we’re trying our best and are trying to get your drinks to you as fast as possible, baristas are human so we can’t move faster than the speed of light. I’m sorry to any inconvience it may cause but there is LITERALLY NOTHING i can do about it.

I watched some animes, and I don't know what to watch next. I hope you all can make some recommendations based on what I watched.
-----What I liked-----
Mushoku Tensei - I watched the anime, then read the Light Novel. It was so peak, I read all the volumes, Redundancy, and all the other side stories except the Roxy manga. It was so good that I even reread the series recently on a whim.
Why did I like it so much? The world was extremely well-built. I was able to understand the combat system, which is very simple. The history of the world is also fleshed out completely. The plot is complete fire. Also, the characters are some of the most realistic characters ever. You even get attached to some of them.
Slime - I watched the anime only so far. Its a good story. I liked it mainly because of the politics involved and the way the society develops. The world is nicely built. The plot is also good. I found the combat system hard to understand.
One thing I liked was when Benimaru replied with "Yeah. Leave it to me." in a formal setting, then immediately correcting himself. I like how this showed how he warmed up to Rimuru instead of his initial formal stiffness.
One thing I wish is that the battles weren't simply based on power. Entire armies lose to a single powerful person many times in the show.
-----What I found common in both these-----
The MC explores their new world, and does some sort of thing to get stronger in the beginning ex: Rudeus trains his magic and Rimuru eats random herbs and ore.
Both have something being developed as the story moves on. For MT it is the characters and for Slime its the nation of Tempest. They also have something bad turn into something good. For MT, it was the characters redeeming themselves, and for Slime, it was a nation of monsters becoming prosperous.
Both also involve some politics. For MT, it was basically the events after Turning Point 4, and Slime is basically politics.
-----What I disliked-----
Re:Zero - I tried to put up with it. The plot was interesting for sure, but I just did not understand the world. I still don't understand why Subaru was simping so hard over Emilia. It was uncomfortable to watch him try so hard and Emilia to just sit there being confused as to why this random dude is going through so much to help her. I put up with the anime until season 2, then dropped it.
Konosuba - Everyone was saying it was a good anime. I found the way the MC dies to be hilarious, and had high hopes of it being a great comedy. I couldn't even get past the first 3 episodes without dying of cringe. I also didn't like how its a video game. Dropped.
Bleach - Not really an Isekai, but its one of the few animes I watched. It was interesting in the beginning, with a great world and plot, but the sheer amount of battles with the villain being a battle-hungry NPC, along with lame characterization (How tf is Ichigo oblivious to Orihime), made me drop it.
One Piece - The sexualization was too much that it made me actually uncomfortable. I like women, but wtf at least draw women, not twigs that would snap at the waist.
-----What I would prefer in an anime-----
-A good art style
-Please no sexualized bimbo twig-waists
-Believable characters
-Fleshed-out world and combat system
-Please, NOT a video game
-War and politics, if possible
If you took time to read and answer, thanks

Hello everyone, I chose to repost this after I blocked all the trouble makers who were sending my hate mail over my intro, If anyone posts/message me hateful comments over this intro you will be blocked, reported and you messages will be added to bottom of this post so people can know your true self. Now that that is out of the way here in intro, now with most of the typos fixed lol but otherwise the same!

• [Picture/physical description]

I don't feel as Christian we should be focused outwardly and there is a lot of scriptures to back this up but it seems to be a requirement here, so I'm white, 6ft, dark blond, not fat, but not skinny.

• Area of study/work:

I was home schooled and completed school a 3 years early, I spent those 3 years learning all sorts of things most people would not know, I taught myself how to plumb, to basic electrical work, fix cars, computers, appliances, and so many other handy things. I ended up becoming a car wash tech working on most of the systems at a local car wash and helped renovate homes on the side, after that car wash closed down I volunteered at a local charity and was quickly hired on full time, I been there for nearly 10 years now and love the job, most of my co workers are disabled in some way so a lot of friends I have happen to be disabled ether mentally or physically, I wanted to point that out as I know not everyone likes to be around those with mental disabilities and much of my circle is made up of people with all sorts of disabilities.

• Hobbies/interests:

A lot of my hobbies revolve around me leaning new things or working with my hands. I love fixing things and tinkering, in the past I raced nitro powered RC cars, fixed cars, I often like to play around with vintage computers and electronics, cooking is anther past time of mine as well.

• Tell us a bit about your Christian journey:

I grew up in a Christian house hold but my family was more legalistic, most my family did not have a personal relationship with the Lord and sadly many of them has fallen form faith. I on the other hand was the black sheep of the family and was saved as a rather young age and I currently go to a non denominational church online with a overseas autistic friend of mine. TBH I'm not picky when it comes to denominations so long as its a good bible believing church I'm happy with it. I feel a lot of Christians should not be hung up on how we worship as we are commanded to love the Lord with all our heart and to love one anther. That being said I don't go to church in person anymore as many in my area are not preaching the Gospel and peach hate more then anything.

• What sort of person are you looking for?

First and foremost I'm looking for someone who is putting Christ first in their lives, I'm rather flexible passed that. I don't have a type when it comes to looks and feel that judging a date on the way they look is foolish. However there are a few things I wanted to bring up, I don't believe in divorce what so ever, to me its never a option nor will I do anything sexual outside of marriage, I also prefer to be around people who don't beat around the bush. I also never been able to date anther christian before, sadly in today day and age Christian man are not wanted in the dating market so my experience in dating and knowing what I want is next to zero so I'll be learning as I go so to say.

• Age range:

I'm not picky on age at all, older or younger is fine, to me age it just a number but given my personality I think younger would be far better. Someone 18-25 on a personality level would likely be more compatible with me however I tend to have interests that would label me a old soul and most of my closest friends are far older then me. I also grew up in a bit of a cultural bubble and form a pop cultural stand point you would think I'm from gen X. So I can see things working out just as well with someone older too.

• Would you be willing to do long distance/relocate?

Being a Christian man living in the USA I know that most women would not want anything to do with me and I'm fully open to dating outside the US so distance is not a problem, I'm not to keen on relocating but given the right person I would think about it. I'm a home owner and live in a very good, safe town and have a good job so I think it would be best if you moved to were I live.
EDIT:
I wanted to point out I come form a rather wealthy family and my family can be rather snobby and prime/proper about some things, wile I am nothing like them and live very humbly I wanted to point that out as it can be a shocker to find simple old me comes form such a family.

Trigger warning: medical stuff & the death process. I do not give permission for this to be on any other platform.
I met him on fb dating. We chatted for a while and then for 2 or 3 weeks did 2-4 hour phone calls every night. We met 2 days after Christmas, and were taken with each other. He swept me in his arms and crooned “can’t help falling in love” by Elvis in my ear while we danced. I was head over heels and remained that way for the 2.5 years we were together. He went to detox, it worked, and he stayed clean for 27 months. Hadn’t been sober that long since he was an early teen.
My boyfriend and I were “on a break” while I was in the psych ward, then a step down to find me temporary housing. I spent 2 months in the hospital. While I was in there he would call and tell me he was going to come rescue me, take me to the beach, how he needed me to get him through detox again, told me he loved me dozens of times. Then silence for a month, followed by texts during the hour “phone time” at the step down where we were allowed on our phones. He texted me Saturday night, told me he loved me, there was another girl, he’d always be there for me. I found out it was the last text he sent.
That night, the Saturday before I got out, he fell and they found hard drugs in his system (he was only a pot head & sober, but started drinking and whatever again the week I went in). He had gone back to hanging out with an old unsavory crowd.
I was upset on Sunday when I saw the texts and sent some angry responses. I got out Wednesday, didn’t hear from him and thought he was ghosting me. Found out after contacting his enmeshed mom on Thursday night that he had been on life support with irreversible brain damage among other things. They kept him on life support due to his checking the donor box on the drivers license form.
The family respected his and my relationship a lot and let me come visit the next day, then the next, then they let me be there for when life support was pulled Sunday. They couldn’t handle being in the room with him.
I saw the nurses come, open his eyelids, and watch his eyes not respond. He only jerked when there was pain applied but didn’t respond to anything else. They had him on versed and morphine and fentanyl and another one prior to removal of life support. I reattached his air tubes when they would fall out, wiped the saliva that he was soaked in, and wiped sweat off his face. Sat next to him in bed and held him, talked to him, all of it.
I was in the OR when they pulled life support and expected him to pass, to stop breathing on his own. He kept breathing and I laid down in the bed with my head on his chest next to him and told him I loved him over and over, sobbing over this gorgeous man for almost the whole 90 minutes. He kept breathing.
They took him out of the OR after 90 minutes as he no longer qualified for donor status. I couldn’t leave him though. He kept going through the night and the next. I spent a lot of time in the bed next to him, sucking secretions from his lungs with a tool they gave me and asking for pain medicine at the right intervals (they stopped the flow of pain meds and were only giving him pain meds as needed). He would exhibit pain symptoms, his jaw would clench so hard his teeth were jammed out of place and his tongue would get stuck between his teeth. Massaging his jaw would get it to calm a bit. His eyelids would open but his eyes were rolled back in his head. His chest and heart were visibly working so hard in his 160 lb 6 foot frame.
His older brother was in a major fight with him, and that first night he went though my BF’s phone and found other women he was talking to over the last 2 months. He used my bf’s phone to text-yell at me about staying with my bf, telling me he had found all this evidence that the bf was “cheating” on me, telling other women he loved them. Then got mad I wasn’t leaving his side. It hurt. I knew that he was dating, so not cheating, but to love so quickly? I was out of the bed for a few hours, angry, sad.. and that’s when he had the most tooth movement and pain. I felt immediately bad and wouldn’t leave him the rest of the time. Everyone called me the girlfriend and I was still the girlfriend. I was the one there who could help him. Drunk bf did some shitty things. Doesn’t mean I didn’t love every inch of that man and his amazing brain.
We stayed in the ICU for a day and then we were moved to a different floor. Every nurse, assistant, even the doctor that came to see him got shown pictures of the man he was, all dressed up as his favourite superhero for Halloween (he was the Spider-Man of his neighborhood for years).
The second room we were in Monday night was a holding floor, awaiting people going home or going to hospice. Getting the ICU clear. They were kind to us, until the night nurses came around. He was prescribed morphine as needed every 15 minutes but he clearly couldn’t ask for it. I pressed that call button as much as they would let me. He would squeeze my hand when he was in pain, I don’t know if that was an automatic response or not but that’s how I knew he was in pain. Still I laid by him in the hospital bed, trying to keep him calm.
After 51 hours, with only 2 15 -30 minute naps he allowed me to take, I desperately needed to get back to my house 2 hours away and get my medications. I’m a week out of the psych ward at this point and shaky as fuck. His parents both came to visit separately, and for a max of 10 minutes. They couldn’t handle what was going on.
The people in charge found room at the hospice and moved him there Tuesday afternoon. I made sure he was comfortable, kissed his head and hands and told him I loved him. I played a few of his favourite songs to let him sleep to and left to go back and get my meds.
Wednesday I slept in my own bed, took my meds and felt too woozy to go back and thought I’d take a day to make sure I could do more to help through the next week.
He passed Wednesday afternoon while his dad was sitting by him.
The last few weeks have been a numb blur. What was supposed to be me working to get a job and move from the temporary living space turned into trying to heal from everything. Cleaning the porn off his laptop & phone (both were given to his niece) His parents elected to get him cremated. I made them a Shutterfly book (while intensely applying for work so I don’t lose my temporary living space) with memories of him and it will be delivered this Friday, his birthday, along with the urn they ordered.
The 2 alcoholic sons both lived with their parents and my bf’s room is full of trinkets and books and things that he would do instead of working, instead of drinking.
Yesterday I held the box of his ashes in his room and played can’t help falling in love and other songs and swayed with him, crying. I showed his dad different treasures in his room and stories behind them. Some of his favourite books, and why. Showed him his son’s favourite boots and told him the story of how we found them and how they would change the whole way he walked. I discreetly took his sex toys out of his room so his family wouldn’t have to deal with them.
I hope a small part of him was comforted not being alone, being helped in the hospital. Knowing I’d take care of stuff.
My bf may not have considered me his boo anymore. He’s always going to be mine. I wasn’t ever able to erase the feeling that I wasn’t who he would have preferred by his side, but the girl he was with was an ex who had done some despicable things to the family. She was invited to see him for a short time before life support was pulled to say goodbye but wasn’t allowed any other time. All of this sent her from drinking a bottle of vodka a day to more, she couldn’t and still can’t keep it together. She’s even told me he told her how much I love him and how much he still loved me. She sent me selfies with presents he made for me that she was given. With duck face. That bitch.
All I kept and keep repeating in my head was all the times he said I love you to me the last few weeks of his life. The plans he made for us to go to the movies and cuddle. The plans to go on vacation.
I’m having trouble forgiving him, while still being in head over heels in love with him. I know I took on a lot of responsibility for keeping him sober that weren’t mine to feel.
Today I am drinking for the first time in a while. I wasn’t necessarily sober, just didn’t drink around him. I took Lunesta because I didn’t sleep last night.
Our relationship was so cocooned that I’ve lost a lot of my friends in the last while. I don’t know where to go, who to talk to about all this. He was my best friend, my cheerleader, my wailing wall.
That’s what’s going on. I’m lost without him. One of the last things he told me was how he admired me for my strength. I think I’m sapped.

Why do they think so many women are men? Britney Griner, Caitlin Clark, Michelle Obama…the latest I’ve seen is Jennifer Aniston!
They have all these diagrams with arrows showing differences in an individuals face from years ago to now.

• why do they think they are men?
• if they did used to be men why is that bad?
• how/why do they even think of this and care? Like I would never even give this a passing thought and yet they are obsessed with it. Why do they care?

We see that for those of a certain race and religion they get their very own site. There are at least filters on the more generic apps and websites based on a variety of attributes and qualities. But what can men and women do to ensure they are only dealing with landchads and land staceys? The thought I may plant my seed in rented ground sickens me...
I am greatly concerned that my property ambitions will be diluted by dating a woman without land (BBW and WWL are my two greatest concerns) and just want to date someone knowing that, as she is a WOL (women of land) I can relax and focus on getting to know her. Is there any safe space for people of land to mix? (I don’t just mean online, I mean in the real world as well).
A couple of notable points;
BBW is fine as long as the weight is gained from fridge raiding rentoids, however, if you are becoming big whilst paying rent you should really be comsuming less and tip your landlord more. A woman with curves from a tenants fridge is fine and shall not be looked down upon.
I do not feel people should be setting up a tier system (e.g. someone with one property is looked down on by someone with three, who in return is not as desirable as a person who extracts rent from five leasetarded households). There are people of land and rentoids, the only two categories. People of land are all friends.

I bought an 89 Katana for 300$ out of a scrap heap. It sat outside for years and I'm rebuilding it as a long term project. I bought a Motogadget Mo.unit blue to be the brain of my bike, but I'm looking for advice on starting the wiring and what needs to be repaired/deleted from the system.
I also can't find a diagram to trace any lines, just a repair manual that lists individual circuits.

For context, I didn’t grow up on the Jurassic Park movies, I was a really scared kid and would run away when things like that were on TV. I only watched the original movie last year and decided to read the book a few days ago. Having finished it I have some thoughts.

1. The way the book tackles greed, capitalism, and the corporate lack of regard for life was excellent, it was very believably evil without any mustache twirling nonsense. I liked the way that everyone in the beginning refused to expand their thoughts about the new lizards because truly, saying you think dinosaurs are back after millions of years would get you a one way trip to the grippy sock house. The obstinate way the characters on the island think was so perfect because they had all turned into an echo chamber just confirming what they know the others want to hear. Having no systems in place for emergencies, never imagining that evolution and mindless biology could out smart them. The scene with Hammond and Dr. Wu about Dr. Wu wanting to make the dinosaurs dumber and slower was perfect. The part where Dr. Wu explained that their security measures were inadequate and based on earlier models but Hammond refusing to budge saying it would all be fine was excellent foreshadowing.
   
2. Dr. Sattler is much cooler in the movie. She gets more to do, actively going to look for missing members of the team and being the one to rescue Dr. Malcolm. In the books, hardly anyone calls her Dr. Sattler, and she spends a ton of time nursing Dr. Malcolm even though she has no training to do so, just being female. One thing that annoyed me about Crichton’s writing is that she snaps at Muldoon for calling her “girl” when he’s actively trying to help her with the velociraptors. It felt like a parody of women asking not to be called sweetheart in the work place. There’s no woman on the planet who would bring that up in the middle of a raptor attack. Makes me wonder if Crichton had ever actually met a woman. All the comments about her shorts got old before they even started.
   
3. Segues into my next point about the kids. Lex is the whiniest kid but Tim is perfect and does not one thing wrong in the entire book. I’ve seen people say that’s exactly how kids would react and she’s so realistic but if that were the case then Tim would have moments like that too but he doesn’t. It seemed to me that Tim is this bright nerdy kid who isn’t favored by his parents like his sister who is perfectly awful. He’s the wonderfully smart always right person who isn’t appreciated like he should be. Made me wonder if he’s supposed to be Crichton’s self insert and Lex is his sister he always hated. I also hate the general idea that boys are the only ones who have intellectual interests like dinosaurs and computers. It was a great change to give the computer interest to Lex in the movie.
   
4. I didn’t like that the aggressive carnivorous dinosaurs all got male pronouns while the prey all got female pronouns. Says some creepy stuff when you think about it. They’re all female per InGen, they don’t even see a male until almost the end. Also on that note, how did Dr. Grant AND Lex identify that the raptor was male? Genitalia don’t fossilize and what human child would be able to immediately sex an animal that’s been dead for 65 million years? You cannot convince me velociraptors have genitalia so similar to humans that an 8 year old would recognize its penis.
   
5. The ending of the book was a giant letdown. The characters really seemed to change when they all got reunited to do the incredibly stupid egg count. In universe, that count made no sense except for Dr. Grant to rag on Gennaro since Hammond had died. Dr. Grant says we need to count the eggs to predict how many raptors there are but 1) eggs break into pieces so how can you exactly say how many you’re looking at, 2) they’ve been on that island for 2 years so multiple hatching seasons have gone by, the eggs from older seasons have biodegraded so how are you going to get an idea of how many animals there are? The raptors spread all over the island while the fences were down, how can they be sure their 37 count was accurate? It’s a big island, there could be another nest. Even if they got an exact count, what are they going to do with that information? That doesn’t change the air strike coming, if just two raptors survive they can go and breed somewhere and what does the count do? Let’s say they count 40 eggs and 37 raptors. They cannot say for sure that those 3 raptors escaped to the mainland, they could still be on the island or more importantly, it’s not 3 raptors loose, it could be 18! The other 15 eggs just biodegraded like eggs do. I cannot believe characters like Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler who used their brains the entire rest of the book came up with that ridiculous plan to just put everyone in danger again. The fact that the raptors who are said to be smarter than chimps don’t attack them then and there when they’ve been aggressively after them the entire rest of the book was another insult to readers. I’m not buying the “oh they didn’t see them!” excuse the characters give, that doesn’t make sense, you’re being very loud and there are too many of you to go unnoticed. I get that they were maybe trying to equate them to falcons which you can calm by covering the eyes but the raptors clearly have excellent hearing as demonstrated in the kitchen scene so that doesn’t track either! That part of the book was so stupid that it really ruined my overall experience reading it.
   
6. Dr. Malcolm monologuing endlessly about chaos sounds really good until you actually picture what that would be like to experience. The content of his monologues was actually very good and important but the sets up for them were very weak and I actually sympathized with Hammond there because what the hell are you saying.
   

Overall, it was an enjoyable book but I prefer the movie.

Hello community,
I was reflecting on life recently and realized that my knowledge of women's health is less robust than I'd care to admit. I have a very shallow understanding of my biological health, how things function inside me, how my body will change as I age, and how reproductive things work (I understand the basics, of course, but would like to lean more into sexual health).
What are some research-informed, practical, easy to understand resources (books, podcasts, webinars) that you've used to develop an intimate understanding of your body and how it works?
Thanks :)
