https://preview.redd.it/1obbzemq663d1.png?width=910&format=png&auto=webp&s=f60625d4697ba540300faa1f282342fec199f299
Votes:
Axel - 7
At the elimination ceremony, Chris goes through his usual speech before announcing that in a shocking twist, today’s vote is completely unanimous. He calls everybody but Axel to get a marshmallow, and Dawn asks her why she voted herself. Axel explains that she and Shawn thought that if she voted herself, the vote would come down to a tie so that Chris would decide who goes home instead of her.
Axel then bids farewell to her friends before walking down the dock of shame. After she leaves on the boat of losers, Chris hands Sammy a vhs tape telling her that it’ll give some closure and maybe cause some drama, giving her the instructions: “You’ll know who this should go to.” This leaves Sammy confused as Chris turns to the camera for his outro.
Chris: Will Max ever have a change of heart? How much longer can Zoey withstand the torture that is Heather? And what secrets does the vhs tape hold? Find out next time, on Total Drama Island!
In-world votes:
Axel - Trent, Dawn, Sammy, Damien, Axel
Brunch Of Disgustingness
The episode opens with the Killer Bass returning to their cabin after the elimination ceremony. Sammy asks what the vhs tape is for, but no one knows. Damien tells her that it has to be important considering Chris himself gave it to her, but he doesn’t know where they could even find a vhs player. Dawn’s more confused about what Chris meant by “You’ll know who this should go to.” and asks why he wouldn’t just give it to whoever needs it. Sammy breaks out into a yawn, so Trent suggests that they all get some sleep and worry about it in the morning, so the four of them say goodbye before going to their separate parts of the cabin.
In the morning, Chris summons the campers to the mess hall, and Owen complains when breakfast isn’t waiting for them. Chris reassures Owen that there’ll be plenty of food soon, before he and Chef mischievously laugh. After regaining his composure, Chris congratulates the contestants on being the last ten remaining in the game, and that next week the teams will become one. Chris announces that with this, the guys and girls will each have one cabin to themselves, and that today’s challenge will be a battle of the sexes. He then says that the campers will have some time to settle down before everyone gets a bite to eat, but he and Chef start laughing again.
Trent and Damien welcome the Gopher guys with open arms and they start bonding over immature jokes. Meanwhile, the girls aren’t as friendly, as Heather shoots angry glares at Dawn and Sammy behind their backs, much to the embarrassment of Zoey.
Confessional:
Zoey: You’d think Heather could at least go five minutes without starting something, but nope! Already she’s lined up Dawn and Sammy like they’re set for execution!
Chris announces that he has good news: No one will be eliminated this week, and instead the challenge is only for a reward. The contestants cheer, and Chris decides to let everyone move their belongings to their new accommodations.
As everyone heads to the cabins, Heather complements Sammy’s hair to get on her good side. Sammy thanks Heather for the compliment, but Dawn is all but impressed.
In the Gopher cabin, Owen hugs Katie goodbye, and insists Max join them. However, Max says that evil doesn’t do hugs. Owen forces Max into a bear hug anyway, much to his dismay. Katie then asks him if he’s feeling okay, and Max questions why she would be asking that.
After packing up his stuff, Shawn heads to the Bass cabin, but is stopped by Heather along the way.
Heather: Look, just because we’re not on the same team anymore doesn’t mean you’re done working for me.
Shawn: Our deal was that I’d work with you. I’m still not part of your alliance.
Heather: With, for, all in the same if you want me to protect you.
Dawn and Sammy arrive in what is now the girls cabin, and Heather continues to sweet-talk Sammy. Dawn asks Zoey how two-faced Heather is, and Zoey rates her a seven. Out of five. Katie comments on how they’re probably getting along way better than the guys, and we cut to them partying over music and pop. Owen lets out a burp, so Shawn responds with an even bigger one, causing one of the doors to shake off its hinges, and even knocking over some trees in the distance. The guys are blown away, and Trent suggests they make Shawn captain. They all agree and cheer Shawn on for a speech.
The contestants return to the mess hall where Chris announces the challenge. He is interrupted by Max asking if they finally made breakfast, causing him and Chef to laugh yet again. Heather is annoyed and asks them why they keep laughing, so Chris tells the campers that the challenge is called The Brunch Of Disgustingness. Everyone will be served a nine course meal, and everyone on each team must finish the dish to get a point, and of course, most points at the end wins. However, everything being served is to be extremely gross. Chris explains that the winning team will get to spend two days at a five-star resort being pampered to their liking, while the losers are stuck at Camp Wawanakwa with Chef.
The guys and girls are presented with the first course: meatballs. Literally. As Owen chows down on his plate, Chef explains that these are beef testicles, causing Owen to frantically spit the food out onto Damien. The girls are also grossed out, but the boys can’t muster up the courage to eat something so personal, so they begin to fall behind. Eventually it’s down to Dawn, who refuses to eat meat, and the rest of the guys, who eventually give up on the inhumane act. Heather tries to pressure Dawn into eating the testicles but Dawn won’t budge. Chris says that while neither team completed the meal, the females performed better, so he gives them a point. He then tells the teams that from now on, the entire team must finish the food to get a point, with no exceptions.
Confessional:
Heather: Dawn’s “morals” might cause us to lose the challenge. I can’t let that tree hugger keep me away from a pedicure.
Chris reveals the next meal to be pizza, which gets the guys excited. However, it just so happens to be that the toppings are live grasshoppers, jellyfish, and live anchovies. Zoey is worried about how dangerous eating jellyfish sounds, but Chris insists that the ones Chef put on the pizzas are completely harmless, causing Chef to look suspiciously nervous all of a sudden. Owen easily gulps down his slice, and reaches for a second, but Shawn stops him, explaining that everyone needs to have a slice. Katie takes a bite of the pizza, and ends up freaking out when she realises she bit a grasshopper’s head off.
Confessional:
Trent: When I was a kid, my parents used to hold me down and force feed me broccoli. They only did it because broccoli is… (Gags) Good for you.
Trent is the last member of the boys to eat the pizza, so he tells Shawn to pin him down while Damien feeds him the pizza, and to not stop no matter how much he panics and fights. Shawn and Damien exchange glances before agreeing, and we see Shawn holding down Trent as he explains that it was just a joke. Damien ends up feeding Trent the pizza slice, winning the guys their first point.
Confessional:
Trent: It wasn’t that bad. I was playing it up for the cameras, you know, to boost ratings. I don’t really mind beef testicles or live grasshopper pizza with jellyfi- (Throws up)
Next up, earthworms covered in snail slime and hairballs. And although the girls put up a good fight, the guys use blindfolds and clothespins to help them believe they’re eating spaghetti. Somehow, it works, scoring them another point.
Chris says that no multi-course meal is complete without soup, so he reveals the next dish to be french bunion soup with hangnail crackers. Sammy decides that if the boys can use blindfolds, the girls can use some tricks of their own. She grabs some funnels from Chef’s kitchen and uses them to down the soup without tasting it. The funnels outspeed even Owen’s appetite, so the girls tie it up.
We then go through a montage of the last five courses. Giant balls of pre-chewed gum, point to guys. Skunk stink smoothies, point to girls. Sandals with caulk icing, point to guys. Garbage can soup, point to girls.
Eventually the campers make it to the final round, and since the score is tied four to four, Chris reminds them that whoever wins this round gets the reward. The campers wait to see what horrible concoction they must eat next, but Chef brings out what looks like normal hot dogs. Chris announces that it’s actually dolphin wieners, but the news doesn’t seem to make much of a difference. However, Dawn is quite upset, saying that eating animals is horrible enough, but dolphins cross the line. Similarly, Damien refuses to eat the hot dog because he finds dolphins super cute and can’t stand to eat one.
Confessional:
Chef: I slave over a hot stove cooking dolphin, no appreciation.
Seeing as neither team gets a point to break the tie, Chris decides that they’ll go to an eat-off. He asks the team who they think has the strongest stomach out of them, and after some consideration, the girls pick Zoey while the boys pick Owen without a second thought. Chris says that whoever can drink more glasses of blended cockroach wins the reward for their team. The two start downing the disgusting drink, and are horrified at its taste. When there’s only three shot glasses left, something gets stuck in Zoey’s throat, giving Owen the opportunity to drink the rest, winning the challenge.
Zoey then pukes up the drinks, and finds what she was choking on. Being a completely intact cockroach. This display causes some of the other campers to hurl as well, which in turn ends up being a chain reaction of people emptying their bowels. Even Chris and Chef start gagging as they wait for everyone to recover.
Chris narrates the aftermath of the challenge, with the guys getting on a yacht while the girls are left behind. And as Chris does his outro, the cameras zoom in on one specific object: The vhs tape.

No Pain, No Game
The episode opens with Dawn and Sammy discussing strategy on the beach. Dawn tells Sammy that she can’t trust Heather, but she’s unconvinced. She explains how Heather’s been treating her nicely, and doesn’t listen when Dawn tries to tell her that Heather’s just getting on her good side in order to use her.
A yacht pulls up to the dock, and the guys are dropped off. They’re bragging to each other about how pampered they were, and end up inadvertently making the girls annoyed with them for showing off. Owen brings a tray of chocolates for Katie, but Heather slaps it out of his hands and into the water.
The contestants then hear Chris announce over the loudspeakers that they have finally reached the merge, and that it is every camper for themselves. He then says that he has a little surprise for them as they hear a horn off in the distance. Another, smaller yacht has appeared, carrying Duncan and Chase. Chris explains that they are back by popular demand, and will be returning to the game. Heather asks how they were ever favorites with the audience, and Chris admits that they aren’t, but he and the producers liked them. Shawn reminds Chris of how he always said that no one could ever return to the island, so Chris tells Shawn that he lied.
The yacht stops at the dock, and while Chase seems pretty happy to be back on the show, Duncan is not. He notices that Axel isn’t there and makes fun of her for being eliminated right after him. Shawn defends Axel and insults Duncan back, causing them to almost get into a fight. However Chase breaks the two up and tells them to save the fighting for the next challenge.
Confessional:
Shawn: I can’t believe Duncan insulted Axel like that! She’s such a great person- I mean such a great survivalist. I’m gonna make him pay for that.
Chase: Apparently, when Emma told everyone on national television that I cut her brakes, I lost hundreds of subscribers! So now that I’m back on this show, I’m going to pull pranks and do the most outrageous stunts! I’m sure Chris will thank me once this show's ratings go up.
Chris tells the campers to meet him at the outdoor amphitheater for the challenge, which Owen is excited for. He attempts to give Max a high five, but Max reminds Owen about how Chris said it’s everyone for themselves. On their way to the amphitheater, Damien asks Dawn to fill him in on what happened while he was away.
Dawn: Heather’s been acting nice to Sammy, but she’s just trying to manipulate her.
Damien: Aren’t you and Sammy friends? I’m sure she’d understand if you told her.
Dawn: I tried, but I guess that meeting Trent made her more trusting of other people, because she at least wants to give Heather a chance.
Damien: Great. With no more teams, there’s nothing stopping Heather from sabotaging everyone’s game. It'd be a nice change of pace if she turned out to be a good person.
Dawn: I highly doubt it. I can sense in her aura that her anger stems back to her childhood.
Damien: I always forget that you can do that soul reading thing. It still creeps me out.
At the amphitheater, Chris has set up some makeshift gameshow rafters out of household furniture. He says that today’s challenge will be a twist on the classic game of Say Uncle. Contestants will be put through tests of endurance, aptly named tortures. If they chicken out or fail to last ten seconds, they will be eliminated. The last camper remaining will be rewarded with immunity and a decked out trailer to take home after the show.
Chris picks Max to go first and spins the Wheel Of Misfortune to decide his torture. The wheel lands on turtle puck shots, so Max has to stand unprotected in a hockey net while Chef pelts him with very angry snapping turtles. Max dodges some turtles but gets distracted when he stops to laugh at one that's stuck in the net. Chef then hits a direct shot, causing him to let out a pained yelp. More turtles hit Max, and the final one nails him right in the kiwis, but he stays in the goal so he gets to move onto the next round.
Zoey gets marshmallow waxing, so she has to endure being waxed by molten marshmallows. Once the marshmallows go on, Zoey starts screaming, but she’s muffled from under the molten mask. She lasts the ten seconds, so Chef takes the marshmallows off to reveal that the wax had actually worked. And as a bonus, Zoey gets to move on.
Chris tells Zoey that since she did so well, she gets to choose who goes next. However, he says that if whoever she picks survives the ten seconds, she goes out instead. Zoey thinks for a bit, and Heather starts whispering something in her ear. After Heather finishes, Zoey sighs and chooses Dawn.
Confessional:
Zoey: Apparently Dawn is catching on to what Heather’s trying to do with Sammy, so she wants to keep Dawn from winning immunity. I didn’t like the idea but Heather’s threatening to kick me out of the alliance after I didn’t break up Owen and Katie, so I have no choice.
Dawn gets lake leeches, so she has to survive in a barrel of leeches for ten seconds. Damien steps up and asks Chris if he can do the torture instead of Dawn. Chris tells him that he can, but if he fails, both he and Dawn will be out. Damien gets in and it’s clear the leeches aren’t sitting well with him. Eventually he can’t take it anymore and jumps out of the barrel covered in leeches. As he tries to get the leeches off him, Chris says that he had just missed the ten second mark, so he and Dawn are out.
It’s montage time and we get to see each contestant’s torture. Shawn wears wooden shorts while a woodpecker chips at it, success. Duncan gets his nose hairs plucked, success. Trent gets constricted by a snake, failure. Chase wears a shirt of bees, success. Heather has to jump over some skunks, failure. Sammy listens to some new age music, success. Katie must get a haircut from Chef with a chainsaw, failure. Owen goes to town on ice cream and has to survive a brain freeze, failure.
This leaves Duncan, Zoey, Max, Sammy, Shawn, and Chase for round two.
First up is Shawn, who gets electric eel defibrillation. Chef grabs some electric eels and shocks Shawn with it. To everyone’s surprise, not only does Shawn last the ten seconds, but he also seems completely unharmed.
Confessional:
Shawn: When you’re setting up a live electric fence for the zombie apocalypse, you’re going to electrocute yourself. A lot. Thankfully it means that now I’m practically invincible to being shocked!
Seeing as Shawn was unfazed by his torture, Chris lets him choose the next person to go. Shawn chooses Duncan, who gives him an angry glare.
Duncan gets the bigfoot storage container, in which he must spend ten seconds in a crate with the fabled Sasquatchanakwa. The crate in question is shaking violently and there is growling coming from inside. Duncan shoots another look at Shawn before going in. We hear fighting and Duncan insulting Sasquatchanakwa, before he kicks down the crate’s door while dragging Sasquatchanakwa behind him in a headlock. Chris congratulates Duncan on not only surviving, but somehow beating Sasquatchanakwa in a fight. However, he tells Duncan that since he left the crate of his own accord before the ten seconds was up, he is still eliminated. Duncan is furious by this technicality and swears to Shawn that he’ll get back at him, but Shawn just explains that that’s what happens when he insults Axel.
Chase gets jellyfish scuba diving, so he has to swim in an aquarium tank while dodging a box jellyfish. Some of the contestants gasp at how dangerous the torture is, but Chase eagerly agrees to do it. While in the tank, he swims around the jellyfish and taunts it. The box jellyfish stings him, but he makes it the ten seconds. Chris asks Chase if he needs to go to the infirmary, but he refuses, despite clearly being in pain.
Chris lets Chase choose the next victim, and he chooses by closing his eyes and picking randomly. He lands on Sammy, and asks Chris if he can choose the dare. Chris lets him pick from the Wheel Of Misfortune, and Chase explains that he’s looking for the best, most unbelievable dare. He picks the poison ivy spa treatment, and is disappointed when Sammy chooses to be eliminated instead.
The last two to go this round are Max and Zoey, and both fail at alligator wrestling and literal waterboarding respectively. (The latter of which Chris says he’s doing behind the producer’s back.) This means that Chase and Shawn are the last two remaining, and Chase isn’t looking too good. Damien asks Chase if he’s doing okay and he explains that other than the fact that he can’t feel his spine, he’s great. After hearing that statement, Chris lets Shawn go first.
Shawn gets the grizzly bear log roll, so Chris brings him and the rest of the campers out to the lake where the torture will take place. Chris explains that Shawn must log roll against Molotov the Bear, who happens to be the European log rolling champion for the past twelve years. Plus, Shawn and Molotov will be log rolling over piranha infested waters. Shawn has a stare off with Molotov before he steps onto the log, and the two start going. Shawn has trouble keeping up with Molotov, but soon gets the hang of it. He jumps on the log, and upon landing gets it to stop rolling. This causes Molotov to fall in the water, meaning Shawn moves on.
It’s Chase’ turn, and the jellyfish sting is definitely kicking in. He passes out, so Chris has Chef send him to the infirmary to get treated for the sting. He then announces that Shawn wins immunity and the trailer. As for everyone else, Chris tells them to get ready to vote between themselves.
Later, Dawn thanks Damien for taking the leech challenge instead of her, even if he failed. Damien asks her if she made any progress on getting to Sammy, and her answer disappoints him. He then realizes that Trent would probably have a better time convincing Sammy and that they should tell him what’s happening.
Max, Owen, and Katie are chatting and Max tells them that while he appreciates their help, he’s going to work alone from now on. He thanks them for being his friends and says that he has more evil inventions to tend to. After he leaves, Katie tells Owen that going alone is probably going to go bad for Max in one way or another, and that she’ll miss him.
Duncan finds Heather near the mess hall and tells her that as much as he hates to admit it, he needs allies, and that she’s his best bet. She finds his desperation to be convincing enough and tells him he can join her, but that he must be useful to be worth her protection.
Confessional:
Duncan: With Shawn having immunity, it wouldn’t take much for him to get votes against me. I hate the idea of working for Heather, but it’s not like I have much choice.
Vote off someone other than Shawn, nominate someone for immunity, and come up with any plot points you want to see later.

2024.05.27 20:23 KB1tcH Home may be festering an evil entity, not sure what to do

For privacy purposes, I'd like to keep their identities as minimal as possible. F = father, S = sibling, S2 = sibling#2 ... As a disclaimer I want to state that S's condition has worsened to the point that their mental state during their manic/hallucinating episodes is of a 6 year old. I'm still learning how to understand and care for them with patience, myself, so I can't answer deeply rooted questions about the conditions yet. ... S is diagnosed; they "developed" it a few years ago coincidentally after a situation during a road trip. F and S were traveling to Oregon to go scuba diving after moving to Washington for a new start several years ago. It was the dead of night when F feels a very dark presence of a being between him and S, he said it was there for an hour before departing. He was bothered, but being skeptical and an unbeliever in the supernatural, he kept it to himself. Shortly after, S began diving into unprovoked hallucinations and delusions, acting crazy, screaming "leave me alone!", "go away!", "stop, stop, stop". They pace back and forth all night talking to themselves having full conversations; walk from their room to the livingroom, sit on the recliner, laugh maniacally and bang the bottom of the seat on the floor, get up, pace to the kitchen, pull food and eat a couple bites before leaving it, pace back to the recliner, repeat, pace to the garage and chainsmoke before repeating and finally going to bed in the early morning hour and sleeping through the day. This has happened every night for the last 3 years. From that point on, they have been unable to function in society, dropped out of school, lost legal driving privileges due to the multiple caused crashes, the whole shebang. They are not caged into the home, they have the freedom to walk places, ask for rides, take their motorcycle out (although they choose not to ride it). It has been absolute hell for everyone in the home. ... A few months ago S brought up the situation in the car with F and asked him if he remembered the trip and the evil entity that sat between them. This is when he started to believe there was more to the story than the mental illness. Since then there have been signs on and off. -one night F was walking around the kitchen before heading into the garage when he saw S out the window walking down the street hunkered over in thought as they do, he thought "what the hell are they doing out there?" Out of concern he enters S's room to find them asleep in bed. -every so often F will be looking throught the news, media platforms, job ads etc and come across '666' one after the other. -for several weeks in 2023, F saw a star brightly shining in the east (correlating it to the three wise men in the bible) with that star, S's condition improved to the point we thought they were getting better, the star disappeared one morning and S's improvement spiraled back. The star hasn't been seen since, and S's condition has been worsening. -after our shed burned down, F rummaged through to find any surviving memorabilia items and found the photo of Jesus his mother gave to him before passing, half burnt, but face still intact and visible. Nothing else survived. ... S2 who when they and their partner first began reliving with the parents had dealt with some severe issues relating with S's worsening condition, quickly purchased a trailer to avoid the issues within the home. A particular story they told me was when there was a night S was running around the trailer laughing, shining lights, peering into the windows. S suddenly stops, walks through the gate into the house and goes to sleep. Later that night S2 swears up and down they heard the gate quietly open and S's shadow, nothing but their shadow, through closed blinds, was seen clear as day shifting on their trailer walls where they stopped moving and stayed still. S2 texted our mother about what they were experiencing and our mother went to check in on S where she saw them dead asleep in the bed. All while S2 was seeing this. ... I very recently moved back into the family home with my current partner and we went for a walk (5/25) late into the evening, my partner sees a shadow slipping behind the side of the house and we think nothing of it because there are several different types of nocturnal animals where we live. We return a little after 12a.m., our dogs barking then silence, and through the front gate my partner sees a shadow of a person peeking out from behind the side of the home while we're walking up to the front door. He relayed what he saw to me, and I think he's joking trying to scare me but he relayed it again the figure was completely black, darker than night itself, peeking out watching us. We rush inside and he immediately rushes over to the back door where the garage connects to a stretch of the porch and checks on the dogs; they're both under the porch, whimpering, shaking. Not a usual thing for them. He checks the garage seeing the light was just turned on to see if S was still up, where he sees a recently extinguished butt of a cigarette with smoke still in the air but no sign of S. He returns and we prepare for bed. I walk into the kitchen for a snack and I hear a large thud on the back porch, I freeze and wait, listening. Partner sees me looking at the door and we hear another thud and heavy drag on the porch. He runs to the door and locks it (we keep the doors unlocked for S2 and their partner who lives in the trailer). We do an inside perimeter check before my partner checks S's room to find them asleep. I text S2 to inform them all doors and windows are locked so they'll need to wait for morning if they want the restroom due to said issue. The scary part is, F told me that same entity was seen twice before on different occasions on the same side of the home. ... Last night (5/26) we put salt along the side window sills where the entity was seen and our direct window, before we went to bed, the light in only our bedroom flickered. We thought nothing of it. This morning S2 texts me to ask if there was a power outage in the house last night. I have no recollection of an outage. After asking everyone else in the house, no one does. They said they saw the house flicker several time before it went completely dark, porch lights and all. Going off that, the lights worked just fine this morning. ... We are saving to purchase security cameras for the perimeter of the house for [hopefully] more proof/security. ... We think S can astro-project while sleeping without realizing it. I understand what sounds crazy can most definitely be crazy considering the complexes of our brain and how it's normal we try to find rational explanations for the shadows in shape of people. Unfortunately my family has a long line of abilities; my mother's side (including all my siblings) have similar abilities to see shadow people, speak with the dead, predict when someone is to pass, have deja-vu visions. All of my father's sisters can see angels (must be mother fn nice). My thought of rationality has been swayed with first-hand experiences. At this time we are desperate for answers on how to get rid of the evil paranormal experiences or even if they're not paranormal and were overthinking it to be. S's condition is serious and we don't have the funds to take them to a facility that treats cases like them, so if there's any suggestions of what we can do to support them with socializing groups with mental illness, it would be greatly appreciated. The post will be updated if we have more updates or visual proof.

2024.05.27 20:17 Mobile_Ad5696 Girl with bf flirting with me for months. Do I have a conversation with her about it?

There are plenty of other posts here very similar to this one and most folk say stay clear of girls who flirt while having a bf…. However every single one lacks context and I input thought based on the following context.
So this year I started to talk to a girl at work a lot. I moved from Scotland to London for a bit of a career change and joined a rowing club here. At my rowing club I was organising a Scottish traditional dancing event and she liked the sound of it so asked to come along. We have a super fun night and she ends up somewhat convincing herself in the taxi home that her and her bf kinda balance each other out… We end up talking a lot after this.
I then tell her of a plan I have to go on a scuba diving holiday this year to which she asks to join. I am like ‘sure fire in’ so we book up the basic course in the uk with the intention of doing the advanced course abroad. About a week later she tells me of how she was telling her bf this and how it is the most exciting thing she’s doing this summer. She then asks if her bf could join and not to be a dick I just said of course but let’s get more people along as I didn’t want to spend my summer with a couple… anyways this causes a bit of tension but it remained us two in the end.
Fast forward. I thought from a few interactions her relationship wasn’t going so good and she asked if she could discuss something with me which we did at the initial scuba diving course… this ends up being a super weird and fun day where she opens up to me about her somewhat falling out of attraction with her bf but is torn as she can see a lot of his good qualities. At the same time though she’s cuddling into me while we get a drink on the beach. Comparing negatives with her current relationship to me like how I am more spontaneous and can lift her up etc. so on one hand it very much felt like a date while also talking about her current relationship which I found confusing
At another event we are all drinking till 2am and then in the taxi home she calls me and we talk till 4am. I make a joke she could have just come and slept at mine and she replies saying that she would if she was single. Another event she calls me to just chat shit and we laugh away for ages. When ever she’s drunk she texts me. We probably send each other about 100 messages a day to each other…. You get the picture.
I got promoted in work and she takes me out till 1am drinking
Recently I got seconded to work in India for a month. During this time she’s organised a day out for us in Oxford when I get back. Has bought a bike as I cycle and wants to do more of it. In June, my cousin visits London and she wants to meet her. She wants to meet my friends outside of work too.
I could list more examples of her being into me but she has a bf of 7 years. So if this were a normal situation I would have made a move by now (and it’s not from a lack of chances) but I haven’t due to respecting her current relationship… however as time goes on it’s playing more and more on my mind. We have slot of fun together, we click intellectually, we like similar things outside of work too… it would be kinda awesome to actually date her.
So if you were me what would you do? Would you just let things keep on riding out? Or would you actually say something to her while she was still in her current relationship?

2024.05.24 02:10 ROBINS305 My mother has terminal cancer, I am ready to call it a day

For context, my mom has had stage 4 terminal cancer for 5 years, leading to endless sleepless nights and a roller coaster of ups and downs. We've lost 4 dogs in the last 6 years, 2 to disease and 2 to old age. My dad is in his late 70s, in great shape, but still, there have been a lot of medical complications with him over the past couple years too.
I try to cope by laughing and joking, and I recognize my privileges, but I often feel like everything is crashing down on me. We have a great support network of friends and family, but they can only help so much. I often want to run away from all my responsibilities and stress.
My mom's cancer is growing, potentially spreading to her leptomeninges, which has a terrifying prognosis. I've lived with the thought that I would call it a day after my mom passed, as it's one of the few things that has brought me peace. Now, being in a serious relationship with an amazing woman, I hate that I can't just end it all when my mom goes, or even now, to avoid more sleepless, endless nights. I know it would crush her and my father, but I am just so tired and overwhelmed with stress. I feel as though I can hardly function these days, I have started to get tmj, bloating, and body numbness.
I've experienced a lot in life. At 23, I am a guy btw, I've traveled the world (40+ countries), had a successful business, graduated university with honors, volunteered in the community, loved and been loved, read countless books, I’m a pilot, a skydiver, a scuba diver etc. I've lived with the focus on doing everything possible. The only major life experience I haven't had is having kids. I feel sad about ending my life, but even sadder thinking about it going on with continued pain and disease affecting my family and everyone I care about. If it weren't for my serious girlfriend, I think I'd probably end my life within a year, if not sooner.
I know my experience, feelings of pressure, and countless responsibilities to take care of my family are not unique to me. But I just don’t want to keep going.

2024.05.19 04:12 pizzapillowfort FMH Master Doc

The moment a lot of you have been waiting for is here!
A couple of notes before you read (or after because I would just jump into the list right away too)
  1. Direct quotes from Ali herself are in italics.
  2. I tried my best to keep everything in timeline order. Some people like The Come Back Kid I placed in the order where they reconnected/talked about on the pod. But I did my best to note this.
  3. All this information came from the FMH podcast, the Patreon, the original FMH blog, TikTok and other podcast that feature FMH/Ali. I also crossed reference information with this sub. I got most of this done with the help of the Patreon and listening to 1.75x speed but I lost accessed to the Patreon because my subscription ended.
  4. I'm open to edits! Things around the matchmaker era confused me and if anything is incorrect or if I'm missing someone, please let me know! I will note where corrections are made.
  5. Some people don't have anything simply because only a name was said or I couldn't find any details about the person/date
  6. And of course, please be respectful of all the sub rules!

Freshman year of college, Ali doesn’t have a nickname for him/doesn’t remember his real name, met this guy through a friend, was texting him to invite him over to hot tub but her phone autocorrected to “how about some hot rubbing tonight?” but Ali didn’t noticed/didn’t correct it and he never replied, Ali had a house party and got really drunk and was all over him, he left the party early, she messaged him on MySpace 3-4 times asking why he left

The Coach/Mr. Adorable
First serious boyfriend at 26/27 in 2013, matched on Match.com or met through work depending if you’re listening to the pod or reading her OG blog, clean-cut look, played volleyball, Ali invited him to a friend’s birthday party and they made out in the streets at 4am, on their second date he asked Ali if she was seeing any one and when Ali said no he ask her to be his girlfriend 3 days after their first date, dated for almost 1.5 years or almost 2 years depending on if you’re listening to the pod or the Patreon, first time saying “I love you” to a guy, “lovely guy“, never would posted Ali on his instagram until Ali said something, he “lived” with her for two weeks while he was in between apartments, tried blind folding/hair pulling during sex and she didn’t like it, by the end of their relationship Ali didn’t like sex and thought she wasn’t a very sexual person, after they broke up Ali drunk texted him at 2am and he picked her up and she spent the night and she took her things in the morning in a rolly suitcase, from her blog in 2015: “I just want to be careful I don’t end up with another Mr. Adorable situation, where I find myself dating my platonic best friend”, had drinks with him in 2016 from the blog: “Not in a romantic way (at least on my end)”, Ali still talks to him sometimes through casual instagram DMs, he’s currently (as of 2021) dating someone for 4+ years and Ali thinks they’re going to get engaged

Personal side note: Ali has mentioned she has cheated on someone but never disclosed who she cheated on or with. I feel like she cheated on Mr.A/The Coach with Trouble because of the timeline. Just a guess.

He’s now married and goes to Disney with his wife (which Ali kind of scoffs at?), Ali said on TikTok that she dodged a bullet

ASV - Aspiring Sober Vegan
Met through a friend (her best guy friend’s college roommate) the day before she had to fly out to her dad’s memorial, a doctor, into meditation, remembered him “being cuter” when they went on a first date, felt “the spark”, had “omg this is awesome sex”, Ali described this relationship as a “slow burn” and “the most attracted she ever been to a partner” even thought she didn’t think he was that cute in the beginning, dated 2-3 months before he tried to ghost Ali but they talked and broke up, four months later they start casually dating/FWB because he’s moving but this turns into a ‘middle distance relationship’ and he moves to Philly, had a lot of communication issues but didn't have a lot of fights, wants to live in Ohio and give a % of his income to charity, Ali was close to saying ‘I love you’ but didn’t, he uninvited her to meet his extended family and they got in a fight, broke up with her a couple weeks before their 6 month anniversary at the park while on a picnic and told her that she’s still his favorite person, Ali used to think he was “the one that got away” and would frequently have dreams about him.

This was around June 2023

2024

Pie Guy/Dr. Laundry
Matched on The League, 34 years old, requested a nickname change from Pie Guy to Dr. Laundry, he had to cancel their second date because he got hit by a car, went on two dates, Ali sent him a pic of his subway stop saying something along the lines of “the stop isn’t looking as cute today” and turns out someone he dated with in that photo, were supposed to go on a third date the night she got back from a bachelorette party but he didn't answer her text when she said she landed, the next day he asked her how her trip was not acknowledging her previous text at all, Ali expressed her disappointment and he replied that he was tired last night, she said she would've been understanding if he said something then ghosted her
Andddd I stopped listening to the podcast around the Dr. Pie Laundry Guy but have stayed up to date with everything via this sub.
I have a huge interest in dating culture, human behavior and data similar to Ali and this little project of mine was really interesting once I got the framework of this list. I started this list once I found this sub in December 2023 and started re listening to the Patreon while working out (and lost 10 lbs ayeee) and writing down information in my notes app. I did my best to keep this list unbiased and just give facts and information that was said.
My own thoughts after making this list is that I'm very sad for Ali. I didn't realize the extent of her dating history. I think about my own dating history or even my friends who are in their 30's and dating and Ali's dating lore runs so deep. Is Ali unlucky with love? Did she pass on someone that could have been great for her? How has she had so many dates with little success in a long term partner or even going beyond 6-8 dates? Or is Skyline the person she has been waiting for? What's the pattern with all this dates/men? So many questions.
I truly do hope Ali finds her guy because I believe theres someone for everyone. Until then, I'll be hopping into this sub (cause y'all are too funny and give the best advice) and waiting for Ali to find Mr. Height.
Enjoy and I look forward to everyone thoughts! I'll keep my eye out for any edits that need to be made.

2024.05.18 05:41 edu_acct Engineering 1st Year Study Group - Mature Student

Hello all!
I'm looking for some likeminded people to form a study group. I'm currently in the process of making my sched for 1st year eng and maybe we can join forces?
The main objectives of the group are to help each other learn the material, get good grades, and reduce the stress of this program. I would like to work together to review, study for tests, and complete homework in a timely fashion. You know…normal study group stuff lol.
What I’m really trying to avoid is being in study group where it’s 2.5 hours of chatting about sports and TV shows with a bit of work to get homework done that could have taken 40 mins – I’ve been there, I still see it when I study at the UVic library, that’s not what I’m looking for. I’m all for socializing and going for a beer or four, but I want to build an effective study group first.
My ideal study group is around 4ish people, meeting a 3-5ish times a week for about 1.5h ~ Give or take on frequency and duration as we find our rhythm. I don’t care if you’re a 18 or 50, I just want a group to study with effectively.

I had a nice fight in it was such a gracious thing, they handed me two joints, but the jokes on them I already had two joints. And that was before I smoked two joints…lol, sorry songs that get stuck in your head. Right off the bat it’s a beautiful course coming in I saw several small islands. But I’m not entirely sure, I was a bit buzzed for travels. These raise Tees surrounded by rock give a nice view of the ocean to the east while this hole runs North to South and takes a slight turn south-east. From tee to pin this hole is shaped in a letter “J” with a cross at the top of it. Well, I spotted two bunkers off to the west side of the turn in the FW running diagonal now in a east to west motion. They are happily chillin roughly 240 yards out going for another 20 yards or so to meet with the side rough. This hole comfortably runs right around the small cove and a runway for a peninsula behind you. And for those who can drive 400 yards, go for that green and skip the FW. The wind has been bustling at a nice clip from 10 mph-15mph, sorry for those that prefer metric.
_____________________________________________________________________
Fairway (FW):
_____________________________________________________________________
The start of the FW here is almost 190 yards out with a slight raise to the east but not to worry about that you’re not shooting less than 200 and if you are maybe try laying off the complimentary hits at the door. Right where these happy deep bunkers are before the hole turns northeast the FW narrows to about 10 yards to the east and an outcrop to the west that’s a dead end. The FW then begins to widen just a bit after the happy lil bunkers. Beware of the rocky shoreline, it can be a blessing or an absolute water curse. I was just lucky with my shot I sliced it, and it went a bit too far off and bounced back to the FW. Dang lucky! It’s a split FW about 90/10 with a foot bridge connecting to the green. Your LZ (Landing Zone) is wavy, or am I tripping? Nah, it’s the FW, SE (Southeast) side dips down towards the rocks and gets just a lil bit higher to the west side, and in the middle it’s a bit bulbous so a lot is going on at the end of the FW. The FW stops about 320 yards, and the next LZ is across a bit of water. If you can routinely shoot 300+ just beware of the ending you have one rude looking bunker nestled down next to the cart path. Also pay attention to your elevation and remember the higher you are the longer the ball travels, don’t let the green get to your head.
_____________________________________________________________________
Green:
_____________________________________________________________________
Sweet we still have some FW by the green cause I’ll need it. Just about to cross over this bridge the sun is just coming up over the horizon. It’s a large green, well pin 3 is all the way in the back, if you want to start counting the green from the west side coming in from the FW. A large bunker to the north of the green sits comfortably observing the flowers amongst the rocks. While the west side of the green is draped it’s red on the fringe running around to the south for about 20 yards. This green is rather deceptive, with some more FW for those that can’t control their distance (i.e. ME!) to the far east side of the green however it dips down to even out before more lovely flowers rocks butting up to the ocean. Long putters rejoice for this hole, it has moderate amount of movement on the green here.

Editing notes
_____________________________________________________________________
The use of one type of rock doesn’t always look good or placement of it looks a bit funky. However, in this case it has been done beautifully, meshing the rocks together like that takes some time and effort. It really works in this case. The addition of a lighthouse and boats on the water lends itself to being more authentic. The use of the flowers around the outside closest to the water look great I like the mix of grass and flowers. Unfortunately while sinking the flowers not all made it under ground, this could have been eliminated by raising the ground up by an extra foot. I noticed the boats actually using shipping lanes, opposed to people just willy nilly placing boats around.

Hole: 2 Par 3
_____________________________________________________________________
122 Yards @ 12 feet down
_____________________________________________________________________
Tee:
_____________________________________________________________________
We have elevated tees, on this par 3 we’ll be shooting over a little bit of water with the ocean on the East side still and the rocky shoreline continues, there is a line of site shot at the pin, only contention is the wind this should be an easy shot. Just remember you’re high and higher than the green your ball will travel farther than you might think, especially if you have the wind to your back. Also be careful not to underestimate the distance too. Or you may end up on the little bit sand and forgetting where you are and what you are doing. The spliff is starting to kick in.
_____________________________________________________________________
Fairway (FW):
_____________________________________________________________________
H2O, that’s your FW, unless you brought your scuba gear and intend on not taking that water hazard and shoot with Sponge Bob.
_____________________________________________________________________
Green:
_____________________________________________________________________
It’s a nice size green with a decent slant running east to west. Its nice size red that bank on the east side going for about 2-3 squares.
_____________________________________________________________________
Editing notes
_____________________________________________________________________
My suggestion about the flowers and side rough though, while on the outsides of the course having random and mixed foliage is good makes for a natural look, but when it comes to the green, to keep up with the appearance of a well-groomed course, if you are mixing flowers try to have a pattern or at least some separation between the types. This will help keep the “well taken care of” course look and feel.
_____________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________
Hole: 3 Par 4
_____________________________________________________________________
328 Yards @ 1 foot down
_____________________________________________________________________
Tee:
_____________________________________________________________________
Once again, elevated tees, I like the flowers surrounding the Tees, it’s a nice touch esthetically. We can see a winding path of light rough up to the FW starting about 130 yards from the Tee here. But here’s the twist in your joint there is a second FW off to the east as an island and a foot bridge to make it across. Thank God last time I encountered something like this I had to ford a raging river. Lost my fav putter that day. This second FW looks very similar to a fat bicycle seat with the wide end away from you.
_____________________________________________________________________
Fairway (FW):
_____________________________________________________________________
Well, we have two different ways to play this hole you can go to the side piece or stay with the mainland. I’m not that talented to play the side piece as well. So, I’m sticking with the main FW. To get a good shot on to the green from the mainland FW you’ll want the LZ about 250-300 yards. Conveniently it’s also where the FW turns SW and the elevation starts to get higher. 😊IYKYK(If you know, you know) you’ll catch it if you check out your map. Well back to this bow…um…hole, gonna have to make a well calculated shot to the green. If you hit it too hard, you’ll be choking on the water.
_____________________________________________________________________
Green:
_____________________________________________________________________
This lil green cloud has red hairs all around the edges. Obviously, you have to use your imagination to see this or just be high as a kite. I guess it can be more of a peanut, around the edges of the lobes you’ll have some red runners about 2-3 squares in, there is a general slope down going north with the east edges curled up. To the north side of the bunker there will be two greens…uh scratch that. To the North side of the green there will be 2 bunkers. If you took the side piece you won’t have to worry about it. But you will have one palm tree and a bunch of mulch with flowers.

At the tee box to the east side, the look would have enhanced the feel if red mulch was used to separate the heavy rough for the pathway leading to the FW. These are very minor suggestions, wonderful course so far. Great job at getting the curve in the bridge, that is a bit tedious for that length. Nicely done, very smooth.
_____________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________
Hole: 4 Par 3
_____________________________________________________________________
135 Yards u/19 feet down
_____________________________________________________________________
Tee:
_____________________________________________________________________
Surprise no elevated tee box this time, still shooting down but that’s not any problem. This hole runs South to North with a lil valley before the green. The FW did end up moving to the opposite side of the green, for those that tend to overshoot going downhill. And those of us that underestimate, we have 3 bunkers sitting on the south side of this green.
_____________________________________________________________________
Fairway (FW):
_____________________________________________________________________
Wait, I thought FW came before the green not after. No matter I still end up in the rough smelling flowers.
_____________________________________________________________________
Green:
_____________________________________________________________________
The green lies running from the Southeast to northwest with a nice gradient to it. Be careful with the most southeastern tip, putting at this grade you may end up 50 feet away, so you may want to stay on point.
_____________________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________________
Wonderful idea with the large number signs and embedding them into a wall for a larger and stylish way to display your hole or next I may borrow this idea too. This is a complete personal preference I would have liked to have seen more of the red mulch used around the rocks and flowers to set them apart. It’s a beautiful course.
_____________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________
Hole: 5 Par 4
_____________________________________________________________________
449 Yards @ 33 feet up
_____________________________________________________________________
Tee:
_____________________________________________________________________
Just as a reminder we are playing from the green tee shooting at pin 3. This is kind of a straight shot, minor curves on this hole, mostly you will have to watch out for elevation changes and wind. Trying to shoot with jello arms is fun and slightly dangerous. Those of us who can’t shoot the 350+ will have to contend with a slightly narrow LZ unless you want to completely shorten your drive, yeah right…
_____________________________________________________________________
Fairway (FW):
_____________________________________________________________________
OK…well damn there is no smoking on the course, security here is tight. However the club house it’s all good. My caddy did bring an assortment of edibles…so this chocolate cookie is absolutely amazing. The FW starts about 170 yards from my tee, I’d say about 200 yards from the pin you’ll see your first bunker of 3 bunkers on the west side. This will be a split FW 90/10. I love the feel going up to the green with the slight incline marching up to the green gives you a real sense of time and care that went into the course.
_____________________________________________________________________
Green:
_____________________________________________________________________
This green slants from east to the west, with some red runners around the fringe of the north and south sides but the east and west sides are nearly free of the red. So often you hear these birds, but you never actually see them not today we have birds.
_____________________________________________________________________
Editing notes
_____________________________________________________________________
I know how much time I take to place certain items; the rock layout is wonderful. The small embankment to the west of the green I would have made it just a bit wider to smooth into the cart path. The FW off to the east has a slight lip coming up, the FW here would have looked a bit more smoothed out, a little more natural. The ending of the FW before it splits off for the light rough path could have been either pulled a little farther away or brought in closer to the FW. The path became a bit pointy pulling the edge of the FW. Not sure if it would be the second surface of the mulch or the second surface of the FW that is the culprit of this blemish…
_____________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________
Hole: 6 Par 5
_____________________________________________________________________
597 Yards @ 31 feet down
_____________________________________________________________________
Tee:
_____________________________________________________________________
This hole runs from North to South in a rather straight shot, the FW starts roughly @ 200 yards, so if you can’t hit passed 200 you may need to work on your game. With a small bay to the west, you can see a windmill just chugging along. With a descent of 58 feet or more down on to the FW your LZ from tee will be a bit farther than you are used to.
_____________________________________________________________________
Fairway (FW):
_____________________________________________________________________
The first hazard that you’ll be contending with will be a bunker to the west side of the FW, about 300 yards or so away from pin 3. There are a numerous beaches here but there are none to speak of around the ocean. Your next bunker sits on the east side of the FW about 270 yards from pin then we have 2 sets of fraternal twin bunkers one set to the west and the other set to the east. The first set of fraternal twins on the west side sits about 230 yards from pin, while the second set of fraternal twins are about 200 yards from the pin. The FW is in a wavy, zig zag pattern, depending on your skill level you may want to check the wind as these bay breezes get rather bad. If you want to play this hole safe stick to the west side and try to make your LZ after the first bunker. To continue with a safe even par your second shot should be aiming to the east side of the FW trying to avoid the 4 additional bunkers on the west side protecting the green. To play this a bit more risky your First shot still stays to the west as well as your second shot but you’ll want to aim to just before the 4 bunkers this is where the FW will make a turn to avoid these beaches. Just like me and my fashion of play I can’t stay out of enough beaches.
_____________________________________________________________________
Green:
_____________________________________________________________________
Beware of the red try to keep your balls on the level green…lol. Once you are on the green you’ll have a nice view of the open ocean and a private yacht where you can go for lunch if you paid the extra $500. So, I brought my sack lunch and gonna eat it at the gazebo after my abysmal double bogey, some days you can putt and some days you can’t.

A red mulch down the east side mimicking the FW on either side of each FW of 5 & 6 might have provided a little bit more of a “pop”. Great job at providing special views, and the rock going around the entire island was a good touch.

2024.05.06 20:53 Sola_Sista_94 The Lie Detector (Fanfic)

"Kokichi!" Himiko announced triumphantly as she strode into the dining hall. Kokichi looked up from the chocolate cake that he was eating at Himiko, and nodded to her.

"Hey, ugly!" Kokichi joked. Himiko sat next to him with a confident and smug smile.
"Nyeh...you won't be sounding so sassy when I beat you in 'Two Truths and A Lie!'" she said.
"Oh, yeeaahh..." Kokichi said. "You said you were going to practice lying some more. So, what, are you gonna say that your hair is green, now? Nee-heehee!"
"That's for me to know, and for you to find out!" Himiko replied. Kokichi put his fork down, and faced Himiko.
"Okie-dokie, then! Give it your best shot, Monkey Buns!" he said.
"Nyeh...oookay...here I go..." Himiko said, putting her game face on. She moved her hair from her face, and cleared her throat. Then, she started shaking her hands. "Mee, mee, mee, MEE, mee, mee, meeeee!!! Nyeh...red leather, yellow leather. Red leather, yellow leath-"
"What are you doing?" Kokichi interrupted.
"I'm shaking the nerves off, and doing vocal exercises," Himiko said. "If I shake off the nerves, I can act natural easier when I lie. And, the vocal exercises will help me to not stumble through my words when I lie. Don't you do that?"
"Yeeeaahh, right after I take a ride on my magic carpet with my pet flying pig!" Kokichi replied sarcastically.
"Don't give me your sass," Himiko said before taking a deep breath. Then, she stared Kokichi in the face, and opened her mouth to speak. However, no sound came out. Kokichi looked at her expectantly.

"Weeeeelll...?" he said.
"Aaa...aaa..." Himiko squeaked nervously. "Gah, I'm sorry! I'm just so nervous!"
"I thought you were confident that you could do this," Kokichi said with a smug grin.
"I know, I know!" Himiko said. "It's just that...hey! Can you hear a lie?" Kokichi raised a confused brow at her.
"Huh?" he asked. "What do you mean?"
"Well, remember when you told me that you can tell when someone is lying if you spot their tell? Like, if they had shifty eyes, or if they fidgeted a lot?" Himiko asked.
"Um...yeah," Kokichi replied.
"Well, could you tell if someone is lying just by listening to them?" Himiko asked.
"Of course," Kokichi replied. "A tell doesn't have to be something you can see; you can also tell a person is lying if the tone of their voice changes. That's one way, anyway."
"Oh..." Himiko said. "Well...I hope my voice stays the same. I ask because when we play, could you not look at me?" Himiko said. "I get nervous when you stare at me." Kokichi chuckled, and rolled his eyes.
"Fiiiiine," he replied, and closed his eyes. "Better?"
"Nyeh...actually, yeah!" Himiko said. "Okay, I'm ready!"
"Go ahead," Kokichi said, keeping his eyes closed.
"Okay...my blood type is O; I hate scuba diving; and I have claustrophobia," Himiko said. Kokichi raised his eyebrows, intrigued at her responses.
"Okay, okay..." he said, tapping his chin in thought. "So, I know you hate scuba diving because you don't like the ocean, so that's definitely the truth. Hmm...let's see...it's between your blood type, and claustrophobia. Welp, I got it!"
"You do?!" Himiko exclaimed. "What is it?" Kokichi opened his eyes, and smiled triumphantly at her.
"You don't have claustrophobia, HimiCocoa Bean!" he said.
"NYEEEHHH!! WH-WHAT?!" Himiko asked.
"Nee-heehee...if you were claustrophobic, you wouldn't like being in our pillow fort," Kokichi said. "Plus, I've never seen you freak out in an elevator before, and I know claustrophobes hate being in elevators. And, if that's the case, it's true that your blood type is, in fact, O! Sooo...you having claustrophobia is a lie! Final answer!"
"Humm...you're right," Himiko huffed, crossing her arms, and pouting.
"Haha, yay! This is fun! Entertain me more, peasant!" Kokichi teased.
"Okay, okay...close your eyes, again," Himiko said. Kokichi nodded, then closed his eyes. "Okay...let's see." Himiko started drumming her fingers on the table. Kokichi reached out and stopped her fingers. He opened his eyes, and gave her a meaningful look. "Oops...sorry," Himiko said, and placed her hands tightly in her lap. "Let me rethink my answers." Kokichi closed his eyes again as he patiently allowed Himiko some time to change her responses. "Nyeh...got it. Before coming here, I was the shortest girl in my previous high school; I used to be afraid of the dark; and when I was younger, I used to...well...never mind. Um..."
"No! No! What were you gonna say?" Kokichi asked.
"I can't! It's too embarrassing!" Himiko said.
"Aww...but I wanna knooow!" Kokichi whined.
"Um...I was gonna say...I, um...I-" Himiko stuttered.
"Don't liiiieee," Kokichi warned in a singsongy voice. "I'll know if you do, so you might as well just tell me what you were going to say."
"Ohh...fine," Himiko muttered. "But...don't gross out, okay?"
"Ooo! Drama! This is gonna be good!" Kokichi said, squealing with excitement.
"Nyeh...I used to wet myself a lot in-" Himiko said.

"The second one is a lie," Kokichi replied immediately, his voice dripping with disappointment. He opened his eyes to give Himiko a disapproving stare.
"Wh...how'd you know?!" Himiko asked. "And...why do you look and sound so disappointed?"
"Himiko, it's no secret that you used to wet yourself! It's kinda obvious!" Kokichi said.
"Well...how do you know that the first one isn't a lie?" Himiko asked in a small voice.
"Well, I just used process of elimination," Kokichi replied. "You and your family do actual magic that you have to hide from others, right? So it would make sense that some of the spells you performed in the past had to be done in the dark, whether it be at night when everybody was asleep, or if it was during the day, you did magic in the basement where you made sure nobody else could see. It would make sense to use the darkness to your advantage."
"Wow, you're really good at this!" Himiko exclaimed, her eyes bugging out at Kokichi.
"Well, you're kinda makin' it a little too easy for me, Himiko," Kokichi pointed out.
"Mmm...okay, I'll give it one more try," Himiko said.
"Okay, then. Make it challenging for me," Kokichi said. "And keep your hands in your lap so you don't tap your fingers on something."
"Got it," Himiko replied, keeping her hands firmly in her lap. "By the way, am I good at keeping my voice steady?"

"Yuppers! I'm impressed!" Kokichi replied.
"Yaaaay," Himiko cheered. "Okay, okay, I'm ready." Kokichi closed his eyes, and waited for Himiko to start. "When I first saw Rantaro, I thought he was hot..." Kokichi interrupted with a snort. "...My favorite number is three; and I used to take ballet lessons in elementary school." Kokichi opened his eyes.
"Hmm...okaaayyy..." Kokichi said. "This is a bit more challenging, which I like."
"Hee-hee..." Himiko giggled, feeling pleased with herself.
"Okay, I locked in my answer!" Kokichi replied immediately.
"What...is it?" Himiko asked cautiously.
"M'kay, did you notice how you asked me that just now?" Kokichi asked. "You sounded a bit hesitant and quiet."
"Nyeh...what about it?" Himiko asked.
"When you said that three is your favorite number, you sounded exactly like that compared to how confidently you said the other ones," Kokichi explained. "Therefore, three being your favorite number must be the lie!"
"D'OH!! DANGGIT!!" Himiko said, throwing the palm of her hand against her forehead. "Nyeh...I kinda hesitated a little, because if I picked three as my favorite number, it would have been too obvious, since three is a magic number. But, at that point, it was already too late."
"Well, that's fine, Himiko," Kokichi said.
"Really?"
"Yeah! It's good because you kept going, and you didn't stutter, or anything," Kokichi said. "I think you at least deserve some credit for sticking to that answer. Just...make sure to keep your voice sounding confident next time." Himiko nodded.
"So...you're okay with me thinking that Rantaro was hot when I first saw him?" she asked in a timid voice. Kokichi scoffed.
"Why should I be mad? You chose me over him," he replied.
"Nyeh...that's true," Himiko replied. "Well...guess I'm not as good at 'Two Truths and A Lie' as I thought."
"Well, it was pretty good for your first time," Kokichi said. "But next time, make it more challenging for me, 'kay?"

"Okay," Himiko replied as Kokichi kissed her cheek. "By the way, is that the last piece of chocolate cake?"
"Yeeaahh..." Kokichi replied apologetically. "But, don't worry! I'm sure Kirumi will make some more!"
"Humm...well, I hope she does it soon," Himiko said. "I think I'm in the mood for some chocolate cake. Well...I'll see you later, Kokichi."
"Alrighty, Monkey Buns!" Kokichi said before giving Himiko a kiss goodbye. She gave him a wave before leaving the dining room. When Kokichi was alone, a naughty grin crossed his face as he reached underneath the table, and pulled out a large platter of chocolate cake. "Nee-heehee...that was a lie," he snickered mischievously to himself before sneaking the large platter off to his room.

2024.05.03 23:08 captnfirepants Lupus becoming your identity.

It's been almost three years, and I (53F) became disabled overnight when diagnosed. A week in the hospital and I couldn't walk for almost a month.
I'm a lot better now, physically, but I am still grieving the loss of my life. There are other factors, such as a lot of my family and my cat dying.
Before Lupus (not to toot my own horn), I was so active. Was so active. Biking, huge scuba diver, traveled like a maniac, life of the party, and cute af. And I miss my 23 years as a massage therapist. I loved my job so much. And I had an awesome house! I had to sell everything and move in with my hoarder boyfriend.
I've become a shell of a person. Every day is full of meds, dr appointments, and giving updates on how I feel every day to my boyfriend. All of my days are 1-2 spoons. I can't wear makeup or shower most days because I never have the energy to do anything else that day. I hate looking in the mirror. Steroids made me gain 50 lbs.
On a good note, my cats are thrilled with all of the cuddles from all of the time spent in bed. I'm still pretty hilarious making jokes about it like, "I'm no fun at parties."
Cheese and rice!!! I sound like a whiner!! I mean, at least I'm alive. Sorry to trauma dump.
We all go through it. Just can't seem to find my way to live outside of Lupus.

2024.05.03 04:05 AzdharchidArcher Perhaps i judged you too harshly

So, i finally got to play Luminous! And though i wouldn't consider myself far along enough to give a proper review. I have to say i'm pleasantly surprised and relieved.
While it's not the Endless Ocean sequel we've all dreamed about and just as a general gaming experience it still has some issues.
However, this is probably the most genuine fun i've had in a game in a hot minute. I planned on grinding for the story, but as soon as i got to the point where i needed to scan 500 fish i just got completely engrossed in the other modes lol. And despite all the things that have people disappointed. It's still nostalgic as all hell to play a brand new EO game again. Hearing the sound effect for the scuba tank just transports you straight back to 2007 and 9.
The procedural generation in my experience so far hasn't been too bad. And the scanning of the fish while still takes me out of the immersion a little bit. Isn't too intrusive imo.
Atleast until you come across a Blue Whale that takes its[' name a little too seriously. Jokes aside. There are a few neat features that i noticed during my initial run. While sadly you can't interact with the animals in any way. Some of them can atleast try to interact with you. Some of the dolphins and Orcas will come up to you and do a little dance and Thanatos is still Thanatos lol.
I also LOVE the sheer variety of animals that weren't in the other game and the different variants that come with them. My favorites are by far the extinct animals. However i wish the biome they spawned in felt more prehistoric. I can get behind the ancient temple. But i kind of wish they had a regular open water / reef type biome with the coral and plants that were around back then.
Overall, i'm honestly really enjoying the game so far. Atleast in the modes that the game is trying to push you towards. Like i said i got completely sidetracked from the story lol.

2024.05.03 01:11 Ur_Anemone Single and making the first move — what it’s like to take the initiative

Single and making the first move — what it’s like to take the initiative
It took me a long time to work out that women don’t so much have to make the first move as do absolutely everything. Without the scheming and manoeuvring and game-playing, nothing will happen and you could be, as I was, single for the best part of a decade.
During this time I was doing all the things you think (this was old thinking) will eventually lead to meeting The One: being fun and not needy or tricky, keeping your legs waxed, not looking desperate, not dressing like a geezer bird, accepting all invitations, keeping the bathroom clean and so on. None of those things leads to meeting The One, I realise in hindsight, because The One is meanwhile being snatched up by a smart woman who knows what I didn’t — that we are in charge of this stuff. Only us. We have to decide what we want and then make it happen…
‘I hate being left on read’
by Charlie Gowans-Eglinton
When Bumble launched a decade ago, the concept of women making the first move — ie sending the first message — was groundbreaking in a digital world filled with unsolicited (and unwanted) dick pics. Now it has dropped its USP, apparently because female users are feeling burnt out from doing all the heavy lifting.
And by heaving lifting I mean, mostly, messaging “Hi [enter name here]”. Not exactly a sonnet, but my most effective opening line over the years. And more than I’ve ever tried in real life, where my idea of making the first move is making cow eyes across the bar.
It may not sound like labour; it’s not exactly a coalface. But it’s not the coming up with a witty opener that’s exhausting, rather having them sit there, feeling more cringey and desperate by the day, without a reply. Even worse if you’ve cracked a joke or sounded at all earnest, at all bothered. I once tried sending lemon emojis; when asked, I explained that it was because there was no opening lime. Awful, I know — the silence of no reply has never felt so deafening. On the other apps I’m guilty of the same, matching with someone I’m not sure of, then never replying to their first message because it didn’t convince me. (This week’s most serial-killery, though probably totally innocent: “You might be surprised by me, hopefully in an unexpected surprise way”.) But there’s give and take on those other apps, while on Bumble it’s always the woman being left on read.
And yet … Bumble is probably the app that I’ve found the best men on. After that opening line, the power balance is the same there as on any other app — but to get over that line men seem to make more effort. There are fewer lazy replies to the profile prompts that are supposed to offer insight into character. On Hinge some men fill these only with space holder punctuation to “beat the system” in some way; on Bumble they know that no woman will bother messaging a man who can’t be bothered — or doesn’t have the imagination — to type a sentence. With women taking the lead, men felt that they had to try a little harder to woo us with their profiles.
Better yet, Bumble deters a certain type of man, the one who thinks it’s unfeminine to make the first move — and that being feminine is the second most important thing about a woman, after weight. Because Bumble was lauded in the media as the app for feminists, men who think feminism is a dirty word (and actually have very little grasp of what that word means) were put off. Not once have I found an Andrew Tate acolyte on Bumble — and I’ve found lots of them elsewhere. It might have been a chore always making the first move, but at least it whittled down the weirdos.
‘The very thing that drew me to Bumble had stood in my way’
by Sean Russell
When I started using dating apps there was only one I really wanted to use and that was Bumble. Why? Simple really, the woman had to contact the man first. This took away all the pressure of making the first move.
On Hinge and Tinder my normal first lines were usually along the lines of “Hi, how are you?”, which never elicited much of a response for some reason unknown to me. Female friends told me to make a joke, but that just never came naturally and so I would swipe right on Bumble, hope for a match, then wait for them to make the first move.
Though I was waiting quite a while. Both for matches and for them to make the first move. Over about three months at the end of last year and the beginning of this year I had about five matches, four of whom didn’t say a thing to me. The one who did opened with, “What’s one thing you’ve never done that you’d love to try?” “Hmm,” I replied. “I’d say scuba diving.” I never heard from her again.
Of the four who said nothing there was one who I was very attracted to. She was beautiful, she made a Sopranos joke in her profile, she was athletic, and I so wanted her to make the first move. I would check back periodically after we matched and would watch the 24-hour timer run down. Around her picture a full ring of yellow would drain away as time ran out like a heartbreak hourglass. Maybe she was just busy; perhaps among all her many matches I was just another lonely guy waiting for her to make the first move; maybe she was on holiday and not looking at her phone — that sounds healthy, I thought, she must be nice.
There was an option to give your matches another 24 hours to reply but it was a one-shot kind of deal unless you paid for premium membership (it’s almost as if they’re trying to make money out of you!). I fired my one shot, the only thing I could do in my helpless reverie: as her yellow ring almost ran out, I gave her another 24 hours.
Twenty-four hours later … nothing. Well, there goes that dream. The very thing that drew me to Bumble had stood in my way. Another grave in the Bumble cemetery of wonderful matches that might have been.
But now Bumble has changed, what might have been? I’d have opened with “Hi, how are you?” And probably never have heard back.

2024.05.03 00:46 kmechromancy My main problem with Luminous

So, like many people, I was Deeply Invested in the series as a kid/teen/young adult. To the point where I would replay Blue World like every other year, never actually getting the money together to re-open the Cavern of the Gods (Jesus 1 mil Pelagos is a lot of money!) but nevertheless, I maintain Blue World as one of my favorite games of all time.
I’ve played Luminous for about 3 or 4 hours by myself today. And I have a few thoughts.
First of all, I don’t hate it. I think the controls are Perfect. And I haven’t had any issues with the animations, models or textures. I think the marinelife textures in their little focused mode look pretty good considering it’s a switch game.
Now on to my main issue. The whole game feels very artificial. That might seem kinda silly, it’s literally a video game, digitally recreating real ocean life. But somehow it feels so distinctly computerized.
In EO and EO2, the placement of the main attraction, the marine life, felt very deliberate. Like a person at Arika purposefully thought about what the animals were, how they interact, and where they would be. Example being the two manta rays at the crop of coral in Gatama Atoll, it felt very deliberate that they would be there.
In Luminous, because the maps are procedurally generated, nothing feels like it Belongs anywhere. The (in my opinion) flimsy reasoning in-game for this being that the Veiled Sea is constantly in flux, I just don’t buy. It was clearly because the team decided that it would be easiecheapeless taxing to have a computer program analyze and allocate things in this calculated way rather than have a team dedicated to making a consistent map with placement that makes sense.
This goes for the absolute joke of a story mode too. When I popped that open and realized the primary “character” you interface with is an AI, I felt a surge of disgust. I don’t know about you, but I HATE AI anything. It echoes what lots of other people have said, that it feels soulless and lifeless. Because it quite literally is.
The whole game feels like it was created by AI that had seen enough footage of people playing the first two games and combined with the selling power of something like No Man’s Sky, totally missing the thing about the first two games that made them enjoyable.
Not the fact that it was Endless, but that it was an Ocean. A living ecosystem that somehow managed to feel alive and human despite it being a bunch of code and pixels on the Nintendo Wii.
No human characters to regularly interact with, (sorry to Daniel, who is quite literally nothing at all, a whisper of a character in an annoyingly bright scuba suit) no land-based hub (or boat hub like the Gabbiano), no stakes, no meaningful story, no interesting side quests, no interacting with the wildlife, no unique or captivating music, no intriguing map, a WILDLY under developed salvage system and huge, empty blue voids where all I could think was one of two things: “I could be playing Blue World right now” OR “I could be playing Subnautica right now”.
In closing, if I find out in the future that people who worked on the original games at Arika are still on this dev team, and that they deliberately chose these choices, thinking somehow this would be a genuine evolution for the IP, I will be shocked. Because from where I sit now, this game looks, feels and plays like a tech demo to show How a real Endless Ocean game Might play on the Switch hardware that was put together by a skeleton crew using lecherous artificial intelligence in a timespan of about 6 months.
I will probably have fun virtually diving with my friends in this game, but that owes more to the fact that they’re my friends I have fun with. After a few hours we might as well just watch Planet Earth together and have a more productive time.

2024.04.19 09:06 alexXx9_ Getting over a Breakup - She moved on so fast I feel like s**t - long post exposing my insecurities and feelings

I have been working and living with this girl for almost 3 years. I want to clarify that I probably didn't select her too carefully. She indeed confessed she cheated twice on her first boyfriend (although she was 17), and when I met her and asked her out, she didn't say she was in a relationship with a guy.
Indeed, she confessed 5 weeks later that she was in a relationship. Nothing happened between us, but there was clear tension and rapport. I brought her to romantic places, and I even confessed my feelings for her after 3-4 dates.
I decided to ignore these red flags because I didn't have other options at the time, and I was working in a very close environment (a boat), which was very stressful, and all my life was tied to her and the other 6-7 people of the crew.
Fast forward a couple of months, and I madly fell in love with this girl. I was adoring her, initially more than she was adoring me. I remember the first time we had sex, I didn't last much at all. She got mad and angry and said in a very angry manner that she wanted to have sex for longer. I felt an incredible sense of shame. A few seconds later, she noticed she misbehaved, and she tried to make amends. However, this was another red flag about her personality.
Fast forward, and I proposed to her to start a serious relationship, and she fell in love with me. It was like living a romantic film. There were a lot of discussions, as she wasn't very open to criticism. Indeed, she was also having arguments with the other crew members, but I was so in love that I suffered from this, and we discussed a lot. Another red flag about her was that she would escape from situations and be angry and mad.
Anyway, we ended up traveling together, living a lot of experiences together, such as scuba diving, visiting new countries, and having done a LOT of experiences. Over time, the relationship got better, although we were fighting often. I am a nice guy who is jealous. I was scared of losing her, and I had this feeling that she was a promiscuous woman and that she could replace or cheat on me. I didn't want her to go to clubs, bars, and get drunk, and she was never okay with that, although she surrendered to my attempts to control her because otherwise, I would get mad.
Of course, the classic patterns of a nice guy showed up. During the relationship, I tried to wear a mask to pretend to be better than who I was. I lied about small things, I tried to control her, was jealous, and I was faking confidence while I was trembling inside. I was always scared to lose her because her love, approval, and admiration were everything to me. I was joking about her in public, and coupled with the fact that she didn't tolerate criticism well, it didn't go well. One and a half years into the relationship, I even did a stupid thing. I sent a sexy pic she sent me to one of my best friends to brag that I found a sexy girl. The pic showed a tit and half her face. She found out 1 year later and she got mad, cried, but we were working on a boat, and she said she forgave me.
The relationship was so intense and full of love, physical touch and contact, closeness that we couldn't stay far from each other, a sort of dependency.
After a while, we decided to move to Mexico together from Europe. The sex was starting to decline, and there wasn't the same passion. However, I was still madly in love with her, although I was telling her that I wanted more.
Some months later, we had some pretty heavy discussions, but nothing out of the ordinary. She decided to leave me, in my opinion, in a deceptive way. She said she would move out, then I prayed for her to stay. She stayed and said we needed to work on this. Then, not even a week later, she brought me in front of the office of a psychologist, and she left me. The night before bringing me in front of the psychologist to supposedly solve our issues, she took my phone and was searching for incriminating messages to use as an excuse to justify her decision to leave me.
She read some bad comments I wrote about her with my best friend. She didn't say anything. We had sex, slept together, and she even asked me to hug and cuddle her.
Twelve hours later, I was in front of the office of a psychologist, and she dumped me. She took all the stuff in the house, she left me alone in Mexico, with a motorbike, an empty apartment where we were supposedly going to live for the long term, and a baggage of sadness.
After the breakup, I went no contact for a week. She called me, probably for validation, saying that I am guilty, a bad person, that it's all my fault, and that she is perfect. She said we could try together on the condition that we live in separate apartments and that I'd need to go to a psychologist while she didn't need to do anything. Basically saying, "You are the bad guy, I'm doing you a favor to come back, and you are lucky if I accept you back, but know that you will always be on the wrong side."
So I said no. She would need to show me she wanted to come back 100%, not only how she liked because she didn't want to stay alone and live loneliness while she was trying to build her new life from scratch while conveniently having me as a backup option.
After that contact, I got mad a few times at how she dumped me from one day to another in such a deceptive way and with all this coldness, lying to me, telling me we were recovering the relationship, just to dump me like a loser. I wrote her some angry messages exposing her negative sides.
After that, we met to arrange a few things, such as the ownership of the motorbike, etc. And then she completely ghosted me.
She posts pictures on social media, having fun and going around as if nothing happened. She told me a lot of times I had been her best relationship, that I destroyed her life, that she wouldn't be able to have a relationship anymore, that I am the devil, and that I made her suffer a lot.
I felt horrible. During the relationship, she said she loved me more than anything and that she would never leave me.
Fast forward one and a half months later, and I am recovering, but sometimes I have very bad cases of loneliness, a sense of rejection, doubting my own self-worth, and I cannot accept how she moved on so fast and how she decided to pass from complete lovers to strangers.
As if nothing has ever happened between us, we had so many beautiful experiences that I think I will always remember about her. Not sure how she can move on with this easiness.
Of course, being a nice guy doesn't help and didn't help.
All the passive-aggressiveness, insecurities, neediness, jealousy, making her look bad in front of other people as described in Dr. Glover's books didn't help.
I think we are more prone to suffer from breakups since our intrinsic motivation is to find approval, and being dumped is the contrary, so it causes a lot of pain.
How can I grow from this pain and situation? How can I move on? How can I regain a little bit of self-esteem? How can I stop feeling worthless?
