The Polyglot Playbook: Mastering the Multilingual Mindset from the Lingua Superheroes Themselves

 | https://preview.redd.it/jghjwyi1rj0d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=f4899eb6fc3ba055f8ed619358ad916ec6104473 submitted by anny_t_ka to voccent [link] [comments] To the casual observer, true polyglots might seem like linguistic superheroes — effortlessly swapping between multiple language codesets like slipping into a fresh sweater. But behind those envious displays of glottal dexterity lies a secret arsenal of powerful learning methodologies, loopholes, and seemingly bizarre mind-hacks. One of the best ways to practice language is our Voccent app, but let’s look at others. You see, these multilingual mavericks have spent years refining a unique cognitive blueprint for acquiring new tongues. One which hijacks conventional study habits by decoding the neuroscience powering language acquisition down to its granular chemical pathways. Through meticulous trial, error, and unrelenting dedication to their polyglot callings, they’ve essentially bio-hacked the operating systems governing their brains’ language faculties. The tips and techniques comprising their training regimens are highly personalized, wildly creative, and often contrary to scholastic norms — yet invariably effective when applied with zealous discipline. So if you, too, covet the power to bend linguistic boundaries with your mind, it’s time to start emulating these savant methods before charting your own fluency metamorphosis. First and foremost, every polyglot knows their sensory preferences for encoded knowledge absorption like Naval code operators. For some, that may mean prioritizing aural immersive techniques from day one — inundating their gray matter with streamed speech audio from podcasts, playlists, or birdsong apps to build a subliminal framework to anchor upcoming vocab and grammar lessons. For others, physical print repetition remains unsurpassed. They’ll create memory palaces turned linguistic museums, filling them with idiomatic sculptures, grammar frescoes, and indigenous proverbs transformed into architectural friezes to actually inhabit the mindshare of their target tongue. Still others take a full-immersion “rebirther” philosophy — surrounding themselves 24/7 with foreign audiovisual stimuli from morning alarms to lunch TV binges, baby-stepping into fluency via pure undiluted daily exposure. A process optimized through journal tracking mood/frustration cycles to home in on the mind’s individual linguistic ingress sweet spots. https://preview.redd.it/qbjseul2rj0d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=8f68f3ec44d47e54e9e4cf91117835f29dd8ef1c At the neuro-biological level, these savants prize habit-stacking as a secret fluency weapon. They recognize how everyday behaviors like eating, exercising, or commuting activate very specific neural resonance states and neurotransmitter production levels. By symbiotically cross-training their brains to link those recurrent patterns to language circuits, they procedurally groove new vocabulary and syntax into literal muscle memories. This informs peak study periods, typified by sleep habits optimized for dream-state linguistic consolidation and scheduled snacking to promote brain-derived neurotrophic factor production spiking long-term synaptic potentiation. In other words, these sono geniuses built language learning directly into their bodies’ most granular biological pathways of knowledge retention. And because self-awareness is paramount to any productive fitness regimen, polyglots are ruthless about monitoring language gain momentum via meticulous assessment — utilizing external coaches, eco-mapping resource efficacy across the modalities, and rigorously recording individualized metrics like peak memorization windows, conversational improvement rates, even typing speeds. This degree of empirical discipline fuels their overall learning flexibility. And with a quiver full of study tactics refined via iterative first-principles analysis of neuroplastic mechanics, polyglots are uniquely equipped to pivot and adjust for inevitable fluency roadblocks as they arise. So even when rote grammar patience runs dry or vocab hit-lists trigger psychosomatic burnout, these linguistic juggernaut always have novel frameworks to dynamically resculpt the brain — whether subvocalizing in consonant clusters while doing cardio, or reconstructing tones and vowel nasalities into interpretive groovebox labyrinths with beat-mapping loopstation apps. At the end of the day, these ambitious minds understand that while methods must remain malleable, multilingual omniscience demands the unwavering, ascetic focus of a fighter pilot. Or rather, the game-theoretical ultimate resource allocator strategically dividing their neural assets and cognitive load capacities across however many tongues comprise the current mission objective. But make no mistake — there is no singular illuminated path toward linguistic demiurge-hood. Each language marathon is unique, and each polyglot internally bio-engineered with their own proprietary mindset machinery requiring constant calibration. So while the initial polyglot leaps of faith can seem dizzying, that’s half the thrill. Discovering your personal toolkit for rewiring the language faculty while iterating through inventive new input/output protocols? That’s how you turn everyday reality into a never-ending expedition of glottal transcendence and cerebral renaissance. So go ahead — devour up every last scrap of applied neurohacking knowledge these savants are willing offer… then let your consciousness run wild remixing and cross-stitching those multilingual maps into slipstream realities of your own design. Because as any honest polyglot will attest, the real superpower lies in the never-ending journey of synaptic sculpting, not the destination. Have you already picked up a few sneaky pointers to optimize your cerebro-linguistic receptiveness? Which polyglot mind-taming methodologies most resonate with your cognitive tendencies (or perhaps veer a little too close to rootkit territory)? And if you’ve already pivoted to forging personalized strategies for becoming a franken-tongued,brain-engineered polymath, by all means lay them on us — We’re always ravenous for new neuro-kartography workflows to incorporate into the blueprint!

2024.05.16 05:50 chubbalub258 Husband won’t shut up about having sex post partum
I’m 5 weeks postpartum. I was induced at 42 weeks, took 36 hours for me to finally start pushing. The pushing only took 45 minutes, no tears or stitches, and went very smoothly. Anyways… my husband feels like as soon as the 6 week mark hits it’s going to be time to bone. He will not stop talking about how much he wants to have sex and is on my case about it . I gave him a blowjob once and it felt icky. I literally have ZERO desire for sex. Even though there is no pain down there I still just can’t even with the thought of doing it. It clearly is making him crabby and he’s acting like a fucking baby. I tell him my body still went through a lot of change, there’s a giant wound in my uterus, and I literally just got done bleeding at 5 weeks. Plus I still have that strong ass lochia smell down there. I am NOT SEXY right now. I just need some pointers on how to deal with this.

2024.05.16 05:28 ReclaimerDev Boomer almost got knocked tf out for harassing my dog and my wife
I took my wife, 7mo daughter, and my dog to a local BBQ festival in our town. Tons of food stands/trucks and carnival games. All in all it was a great time.
So my dog loves attention. When we're out and about, it can be a struggle to stop her from saying hi to everyone. She was on a short leash since there were a lot of people and I don't want her to invade anyone's privacy. We understand that not everyone appreciates dogs, even if they are super friendly.
My wife was pulling our daughter in a little covered wagon. She absolutely loves it. It's got a sun cover and bug net and she can stand and look around however she wants. She always has a good time in it.
For the most part it was a great time. Kids and adults alike were curious about my dog or our baby in the wagon. They would ask questions and be respectful if we asked for space. After a while, I could tell my dog was getting a bit anxious so I just told people she wasn't feeling up to it if they asked to pet her.
Then it happened.
It was nighttime and we were heading out of the festival back to our car. It was darker, so I had my dog heeling close to my side and my wife was pushing the wagon in front of her. We're walking side by side. I heard a voice from behind me start low and get louder
"you're gonna get bit....you're gonna get bit!"
I turn around to see this old bastard reaching down to grab my dog's ass with a drunk grin on his face, his friends trying to warn him that my dog might bite him.
Here's the deal. My dog is friendly, but she doesn't like surprises. She has never bit anyone or even acted like she was going to bite. She's good at warning people when she's uncomfortable or scared. But every dog has their limit. All I could think of in that split second is my dog getting taken away from me because "someone was just joking and trying to have fun and the vicious animal attacked"
I screamed in my best no nonsense voice
"NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! YOU WILL NOT TOUCH MY DOG LIKE THAT"
Dude doesn't take his eyes off my dog who jumped ahead of me with her tail tucked and goes in for another grab. His stupid friends just watching and laughing from the back saying it again,
"I'm telling ya, you're gonna get bit!"
I swear, they probably see this shit all the time from this guy and don't even think about stopping him. Like, "I warned him not to, but this will be a good story for later"
At the same time my wife sees me turn around and puts her hand out to block this guy and she says
"Dont...seriously, she might bite you"
This stupid buzzard starts mocking my wife. "oh LOoK OUt DoG MIGHT BITe!", hands waving like something you'd see from a middle school bully.
Yall, I am steaming fucking pissed.
I'm a small guy, but this complete stranger just grabbed my dog and is mocking my wife who is walking my daughter. I see him looking at my dog again and I'm ready to elbow this drunkard right in the face with every ounce of strength my manlet body can summon. NO ONE does my family that way. Fortunately his friends caught up to him and pulled him away and allowed my wife and I to pick up the pace.
I am really glad I didn't have to get physical with this guy. I didn't want anyone to get hurt. But seriously...what the ever-loving-FUCK is wrong with these people? "I'm old so I can harass animals and young families in public?"
I swear, I was bullied a lot in school because I was so short. But...that kinda stopped when we started to grow up. It's like boomers got old and started to act like middle school kids again, but now they can get drunk and drive cars. Sometimes at the same time.

2024.05.16 01:51 ShiningStorm697 A Broken Man
His wife was gone, his brother dead with Caliban, his other siblings he was ashamed to say he did not know whether they yet lived or not. In truth it didn't matter they were gone and he doubted they would ever return to this galaxy, the last one he recalled meeting was Nightingale. They had came seeking counsel and any aid in their search for Corax, he was...not kind to his baby brother in fact he was sure he ruined any chance of recociliation should they ever meet again. "Stay here my Prince, watch over our sons they will need your steadying hand in these new times we are headed into." Those were her last words to him and he tried, oh by the allfather had he tried and in the first few years he was able to keep focused on that but soon the pain and loneliness began to get to him. Oh his stepsons cared for him there was no doubt of that but he wasn't their primarch and in truth he has no authority or right to try and command them and everyone knew it. "They need me huh? Well what about the fact that I need you Freyja, my life for years was to support you. I was there for you when you had...handled the two missing primarchs and their legions. I was there for you during Prospero and I was even there for you after your father died, but when I needed you where did you go? Off who knows where into the warp searching for what may be just an old fable abandoning me to try and hold everything for you until you decide to come back." He muttered bitterly while staring out across the frozen wastes that stretch as far as the eye can see trying and failing to not let his emotions get out of hand but the hurt in his heart was an everpresent pain that he knew would only be soothed one of two ways, either he and his love are reunited or if he were to simply dive off of the Aett and end his miserable existance. "Father you shouldn't be standing out here you can't withstand this weather for too long." Turning his head he stared at the marine who came for him. Ah its Bjorn of course it is he always was trying to keep an eye on him lately as if he could sense the dark thoughts lurking in his mind, nodding I follow him back inside the walls of the mighty fortess that was our home. "You were missed at the feast Father, Brynolf kept opening his loud mouth claiming that the tales of our Mother taking a mortal as a consort must only be that as he couldn't fathom a coward being honored so." A scoff is the only thing that let Bjorn know you were still listening. "And I'm sure you made your feelings on that clear hmm?" Bjorn smiled innocently "He might have issues speaking with his jaw being shattered." You feel a small smile tug at your lips before your brooding thoughts steal your focus again. "Why don't you try to track her down?" Your eyes lock unto Bjorns as he keeps speaking, "You are more than capable of it while you might not be able to best me or our best warriors but I doubt there is much in the galaxy that could be a genuine threat to you, and your tracking abilities are much the same so why?" You wait a moment to gather your thoughts before answering. "And do what Bjorn? She didn't want me with her and she left me behind, even if I were to find her what would it accomplish? All that would happen is losing whatever fondness she might still have for me and that would kill me Bjorn."
Silence hung in the hallway before suddenly Bjorn had you by the throat and slammed you against the wall. "What are you? You can't be my father, a man who would openly argue against the Wolf Queen herself for hours on end until you both were out of breath. My father was a man who in the face of foolish pups who thought they could bully their Mother's pet mortal put them firmly one their asses and mocked them for being bested by a mere pet. My father was a slayer not this weak spiritless creature that I see before me and I will not have some imposter disgracing his memory!" You were suddenly airborn as he flung you down the hall to land in a painful tumble. "If I find you here after an hour I will kill you myself, whatever you are Fenris is no place for you." Bjorn rumbled before he stalked off. Picking yourself up you make your way to your chambers to collect your belongings, he was right of course you have no place here you are no warrior worthy of saga and as such you had no right to the armor in your quarters. Taking with you a pack of clothing and food, a cloak, and the sword She had given you as a wedding gift you gather yourself and leave Fenris behind you.
Months, years, or even centuries later you can't be sure you finally pick up her trail and for the first time in a long time a true laugh leaves your lips and with tear filled eyes you look up into the strange sky of the warp "Thank you Bjorn, thank you so much."

2024.05.16 01:49 No_Artichoke9304 I don’t know if she dirty deleted this stitch or what. I watched it and noticed it was gone before I refreshed so recorded for y’all. She speaks on baby daddy paying $25 in child support. This is the first I’ve ever heard that. Anyone heard her mention that before?

2024.05.16 01:13 SlowPlay74 AITAH For wanting to leave and cut contact with my dad after I almost died
I’m supposed to be asleep but I have to decide on whether I should move in with my mates soon so I need advice.
Here’s some basic background information. It’s always been me and my dad. My mum died while I was fairly young, and I only have a couple of pictures of her. Me and my dad were extremely close. He’d take me fishing, to the cinema, just normal dad stuff.
He met my stepmum when I was 11, and she already has a daughter who was 9 at the time.
I was a bit hesitant to get to know them at first. They weren’t super friendly but my dad seemed to really love them. He married my stepmum a couple of months later and they’ve been together since.
My stepmum doesn’t talk to me, not unless it’s necessary. She just generally doesn’t like me. My step sisters at least talks to me, but we have absolutely no relationship at all.
My dad barely talks to me anymore, he’s always with my stepsister, taking her out shopping, giving her an allowance, spoiling her. Over the years I’ve grown a bit of resentment because of it. Whenever I try suggesting we do something together, play football, fish, he declines.
So on to the issue. About a month ago I had the worst pain of my entire life in my stomach area, near my bellybutton. I told my dad about it and he gave me some ibuprofen but that was it, this went on for about 2 days.
I had a mock exam at college the next day, so he assumed that I was exaggerating it and leading it all up to skip (mind you, I get great grades) so I just had some water and went to bed
My dad woke me up around 7 ish so I couldn’t get ready to go, now I could barely stand, I was literally tearing up and crying because it hurt so bad, I kept telling my dad that, nope, not a single thing. He told me to “not be a fucking baby” and to get in the car.
So about 8:30 he took me to college. My mates kept on saying I looked like shit and asked if I was okay. I could barely stand and I felt so embarrassed just crying there. One of my form tutors came out and started talking to me, I couldn’t really respond well and I was dizzy so she called an ambulance, and I ended up having a seizure while waiting.
Long story short, I had an appendicitis. It burst, I had to have surgery done to remove it, I’m honestly pretty lucky to be alive. I developed Peritonitis as a result and had to spend a week in the hospital.
When I woke up from my surgery, my dad was next to me, I remember him holding my hand and crying, just apologising. I’ve never seen him cry so hard in my life. I would have been so happy to see him acknowledge me at the very least, but I just felt so much anger.
So it’s been 3 weeks roughly since I’ve been home, I’ve avoided my dad like the plague. He’s been talking to me constantly, trying to make me food, bring me drinks, apologising. Everything I’ve always wanted, but I just can’t bring myself to like it. I feel so fucking bitter when I look at him. Like, I just don’t care anymore.
One of my mates parents know roughly what’s going on through my mate, they didn’t like my dad to begin with but this pushed them over the edge, and they offered for me to move in with them. I’m at a point where I’m seriously considering it.
I know my dads been apologising, and I feel like he genuinely means it, but I just can’t stop thinking about it. What if I was a little bit late? If my tutor hadn’t of called an ambulance? I was clearly sick for the few days beforehand and he didn’t even take notice. It just felt like the final nail in the coffin tbh. I haven’t told my dad yet about me moving, wanted to come here and see if I’m being dramatic?

2024.05.16 00:49 AnnaNamyss Mama Makwa
I was invited by a couple of friends to go camping a few days ago. I'm honestly still exactly not sure if any of it was real, but I wish to share my story nonetheless. It began last Monday, when friend number Six invited friends One through Five to a girls get away. She claims to have found this beautiful spot in the mountain on one of her hikes and she says it’s perfect for seeing the stars at night. I was skeptical at first, to be honest I don't really like being outdoors, but it sounded like an experience worth having, so I thought "why not, this will be a wonderful memory to look back on!". I had just purchased a new camera as well, so I was honestly starting to warm up to the idea. I could take pictures of our excursion into the woods and make cute little picture frames for everyone for their birthdays, it would've been so cute! But things did not go at all as I had envisioned.
So the day of the trip arrives, a bit faster than I would've liked, but honestly I think I was just anxious about… I kept feeling this weight in my chest that made it uncomfortable to breathe, but I was going into the woods, strange things happen to women in movies; Jason Voorhees, Sasquatch, Shia LaBeouf! Who knows what could happen! Not to mention there is always the chance I could fall into a lake and get covered in leeches, or get surrounded by wolves, or chased up a tree by a bear… Hopefully a very soft bear so I'll at least know one pleasure before I die! There are all sorts of fears I had envisioned before the day of the trip, but anxiety just be like that.
I met up with my friends at the trail and learned that friend Six decided to bring her bf along, which I was upset about but I guess he was just going to get a hotel room nearby so he'd be close enough to her to feasibly show up if we needed any help. She later told us that he worries all the time because his father went missing in these woods years ago and he's worried the same might happen to her. This is where I learned that men tend to stay out of those woods because men have been going missing in those woods for years, but according to friend Six, she's been coming to this forest for a while now and hasn't had any bad experiences. Hearing that did oddly put me at ease, but now all I could wonder at the time was what happened to all those poor men.
Deep into the night we're all chit chatting, talking about where we are in our lives, things that are bugging us, what our hopes are, and dancing to the music of nature… but which of course I mean we got shit drunk, smoked some great wee, talked about sex, laughed over silly anime scenes, and twerked to slipknot girly bops!. It was such a fun night at that point that I honestly wish I could go back and never let that night end. It was intoxicating how beautiful the sky looked, and when gazed up it was almost like we could scoop the stars into our hands and sip from the sea of stars. I was worried we'd just be on our phones all night filming tiktoks or something but even with no signal, no one really seemed to be too stressed about it, we all just kind of felt safe… Almost welcomed into the forest, like being embraced by a loving mother. But unfortunately, heaven isn't forever, and men come not but to steal, kill, and destroy.
As we were drinking we decided to tell some scary stories… or well I decided to because I thought "it's so cliché but we have to do it. It feels like tradition almost." plus I would've regretted it if we didn't do it, so fuck it, right? Right. So we go around telling scary stories to one another, and I mention to friend Six that I keep thinking about those poor men that went missing. I then asked if any women had gone missing, and surprisingly she said yes… it was way back in the 1800's but after that there had never been a single missing woman in that forest again. The forest was actually named after the first young woman who went missing all those years back, and now there are all these rumors about it but I don't believe in that stuff so I didn't really pay much attention… I kept thinking "I'll just wait for the manga… or the shitty Hollywood cash grab of it…" but I DO vaguely remember the history cause I find dark history lore to be super fascinating. So there was a time when the area had more Ojibwe people living here, before gentrification moved into town. She went on to tell us that The Ojibwe people eventually began to keep to themselves because as more white people moved in, more of their daughters went missing. There are yearly parades to honor the missing daughters and to spread awareness to those living in the town. The police try to shut it down but they still do it every year.
Not long after hearing that we hear something howl in the distance. Friend Three howls back and friend Five falls on her out of her camping chair laughing. I tell them to knock it off because the last thing we need is for her to accidentally attract a wolf during mating season! I don't know if that’s a thing, but it sounds like something that’s a thing… So I'm just going to assume that it is. Don't judge me. She then says "But what if it's Taylor Lautner? Or Joe Manganiello? Personally… I'm more of a Meatloaf guy myself… But you know… RIP… But Joe is pretty fine and my mom did always hope I'd marry a black man to get melanin back in our family… But I don't think a splash of melanin is gonna override this asian/african skin so… Anyways! So these guys come walking past our camp site, and we're all drunk and high so we're already all on edge upon seeing random men this deep into the forest, but friend Four gets up and says "who the fuck are you and what're you doing here!?" One of the men quickly apologizes and tells us they're actually out here camping as well. They said a friend of theirs found this waterfall in the forest that glows because it captures the moon's light. Friend Two hears this and asks if we can go with them, to which we all begrudgingly agree.
At the "mooncuzi" I like to call it, we all sit around this beautiful natural pool lit up by the moon, and we were worried it would be cold but I was surprisingly warm, if I had to guess I'd assume there's a magma vein under there or something? Idk, I'm not a geologist or volcanologist, but something kept it warm and it wasn't my tiny bladder! Everyone was really relaxed and the guys honestly seemed super cool, and guy One honestly seemed really nice. I call him guy One because he's number 1 to me, we're still together now, and we even have another partner now, so yay! We all began talking and some of us were hitting it off, clearly… but we had all been drinking and smoking more which, honestly we had stopped… but we couldn't pass up the opportunity to get cross-faded in a mooncuzi. Nuh. Nope. Not on my watch. But someone clearly didn't get the vibe memo, because friend Two screams out "bro what the fuck I said no!"
The next thing we hear is "You don't have to yell about it like some kind of cunt!" Everyone runs over to try and figure out what's going on. Turns out guy Five didn't like being told no. He and friend Two were playing a drinking game with friends Three and Four and guy Three and Four. We learned that guy Five dared friend Two to take her top off, to which she said politely refused, and the guys didn't seem to like that. They tried to convince her it's part of the game. One of the guys said she was already in her underwear anyway, so she might as well… My guy, One, and guy Two scolded their friends for their behavior, which is why guy Two and friend Two are married now… Guess nice guys don't finish last, huh? Anyways, They scolded their friends for their behavior, I remember my guy yelling "you never speak to a woman like that!" and "If I ever catch you trying to peer pressure a woman again I'll take your testicals in my hand and squeeze on them slowly until I know what it's like to feel one pop in my hand." and it was honestly the hottest thing I've ever heard a man say… a bit violent… but fuck was I glad I was in the water!
Guys One and Two apologized for their friends' actions the whole way back. I asked them why they remained friends with them and guy One had gone off to college while guy Two went into the service, so the two of them had been away for a few years, but they swore their friends never used to be like that. This was actually supposed to be a reunion hike of sorts since they both happened to come back around the same time. After meeting up with guys Three, Four, and Five though, they realized their friends had been warped by these podcasts about alphas and betas and maximizing your sigma or something, and tried to convince him to listen to some pickup artist that claimed to know the secret to unlocking the female brain. Also known as, stupid useless slop grifters make to get rich off young boys with zero confidence and zero bitches. Lastly, he tells me guy Three was actually raised by a single mother alongside his two sisters, so he really wouldn't expect that kind of behavior from him. Guy Four was always sort of sketchy but they thought he was "just being funny", men right? The only thing they felt was weird about him was this one time when they were teens his sister moved away and he got really quiet afterwards, but then he dated a few people that looked almost identical to her, but for some reason he didn't see it, so they started calling him "little sister" (or did they? oooo) or "Lil" for short, joking he had an undiagnosed sister complex… Ew. That’s all I’ll say to that. The last guy, Five, they said always seemed fine to them, they didn't elaborate, so idk what their idea of "fine" is, sorry to disappoint.
Not long after we got back to the camp we heard engines in the distance, and as they got closer and closer we all stared in confusion. No one should be riding vehicles out this way, and friend 6 knows her bf wouldn't come out here without alerting us.
The vehicles stopped after surrounding us with their lights pointing right at us. We heard the familiar voices of guy Three, along with 4 new voices. He whined about how we hyurt his widdle feefees or something obnoxious. I tried to listen but it's just so hard to listen to some overgrown pissbaby go on about their fragile ego. Guys One and Two went to confront guy Three and his posse, asking why they didn’t wait at the car. Guy Three told them they wouldn’t understand because they’ve given themselves over to feminist ideas and allowed themselves to become beta cucks. He told them that simps deserve to die so other men won’t be warped by feminist witch pussy magic like they have… Like we just met these guys and he’s already acting like we had sex… This man's logic was like a runaway train, the cars are all there but they ain’t making it to their destination. Guys One and Two continue to argue with guys Three, Four, and Five, before guys Six and seven come up behind them and put knives to their necks. At this moment I noticed a gleam in guy Three’s eyes. He now thinks he’s invincible… I can see the depravity in his eyes as he looks upon friend Two, stripping her down in his mind, imagining all the sick things he’ll do. And as if to validate my suspicions, he walks up to her and says “You never did complete that dare… How about we start a new game… But this time we won’t have any need for truths.” I watch as fear washes over Two’s face, as she begins to imagine what he is implying, almost as if his depraved thoughts were being projected into her mind, instilling suffering on her before he had even begun to touch her. She catches herself, refusing to give him the satisfaction of fear and spits in his face. She then tells him “you couldn’t even please your hand with a prick that small.” The look of anger on his face was honestly delectable. If I could, I would put it on canvas and call it “Portrait of a Scorned Man” or “Man who just realized being a dick doesn’t make yours bigger”. ANYWAYS, he then began to yell something about "it's up to real men to show women their place in society!" OOO so angwy! They started circling around us like starving wolves. One of them placed themselves against friend Five’s back and said "I always wondered if trans women looked different down there." Which angered friend Five, but not as much as it did friend Four who tends to be a bit of a hot head.
Friend Four may look like a pretty cute petite princess, but she's manlier than most men I know. She's a competitive marksman, as well as being a gymrat who likes to build cars on the weekends. She's also the girlfriend of friend Five, not that that’s important but I feel like it should be important. So anyways, she starts blasting right? And one of these guys yells "what the fuck they’ve got funs!? Who the fuck gave these stupid bitches guns!?" I then hear one of them try to antagonize her by saying "pretty young thang like you shouldn't be carrying such a big piece until she's used to it! AYO!" So she shot a round off at the tree he took shelter behind as if to mock him by letting him know his life is in her hands… She looked like a real boss bitch, like for real! That girl is HIM! She has always been him, she will always be him! While this was taking place, friend Six reached out to her boyfriend now that we could finally use the radio without fear of them taking it. We explained what was happening and asked him to bring help. He told us to tie the button down and to hide it from sight so that he could listen in while he headed to the station to get help. I feel so bad for that man, having to listen to all those screams, feeling completely powerless to do anything in the moment, but we’re so thankful to him for being there in the way that he was.
Gun fire kept ringing out as Four kept firing rounds into the forests yelling “I shoot to maim!” and “You’re not safe here!” hoping to scare the men enough to make them retreat because none of them seemed to have rifles on them… But then we hear it… The first scream… Everyone freezes in their tracks, their heart stilled by this sudden shriek of terror that seemed to only further race towards the all consuming darkness. The moment it stopped nothing remained but the slow encroaching crawl of raindrops and the rapid beating drums of the fear in our hearts. It's then that the rain came down like a closing curtain on the chapter of our innocence, because that’s when we heard the second scream, a scream just as chilling as the first, ascending high into the tree tops before we see something that shocks everyone to their core; the haunting image of a man’s face still screaming, a face still unaware its going to meet, a face that still hopes to be saved but never will. Within unison, as if hell had a chorus, we all screamed in silence as we turned to run. With no other means of safety, my friends, guys One and Two, as well as myself ran for the tent. We don't really know what happened after we got into the tent, but not a second went by that we didn't think we wouldn't be next. We know better now, but in that moment I felt both relief and fear for my life. I just kept thinking how lucky I was that I was fortunate enough to die with my dignity still intact… I kept thinking "at least those man babies didn't get to do whatever depravity they had in mind"
Well by now everyone knows what happened, it's been on the news. Those 3 guys and all of their cronies turned up missing… But what the news won't tell you is that we were saved by Mama Makwa, we call her that due to the sounds we heard, as well as the site we saw afterwards. The bellowing sound of vengeance that came in the form of a bear’s roar was as loud as the mean screaming they saw a 9 ft tall bear with skin dripping off of its bone like fur. We later learned that men referred to it as “Slippy Skin” aka "Wejuk", as it seemed the bear would change appearance depending on who gazed upon its visage, but this was not "Wejuk". One by one, we heard those men scream for their lives, describing a creature with a mouth made of human hands that had palms covered by teeth shaped like hypodermic needles. It had claws that seemed like stone daggers that were etched by The Ojibwe. The men warned each other "Don't look into its eyes!" before proclaiming how sorry they were for the things they'd done… They complained of the putrid stench suffocating them as they were pulled into its gaping maw. They screamed of the creatures rotting viscous flesh melting into their own, and making their skin a part of it, as if their skins were fuel for the fear this best could instill by its mere dominion over them. But we never saw that creature… Instead, after the screams stopped, we were greeted by this beautiful creature that looked like a bear, only it had this glow about it, and its fur seemed almost like the softest of opalescent feathers. Its eyes looked just like the aurora borealis, and she was mesmerizing. We felt safe, and welcomed, and most of all protected… After everything that happened, I think we will be coming back, because we know Mama Makwa will be there to protect us. We believe Mama Makwa is an avenging spirit born from the fear those lost daughters felt, here to make sure no other women ever have to suffer like they did within this forest. We also now understand why those men all went missing. My boyfriend and friend Two's husband weren't attacked by Mama Makwa… Only the men who felt any sort of ill intent toward us women that night saw Mama Makwa in that form, the form they confused for Slippy… But knowing there is a safe haven for women out there, I'm thinking we will have another girls night next year, anybody wanna come?

So the day of the trip arrives, a bit faster than I would've liked, but honestly I think I was just anxious about… I kept feeling this weight in my chest that made it uncomfortable to breathe, but I was going into the woods, strange things happen to women in movies; Jason Voorhees, Sasquatch, Shia LaBeouf! Who knows what could happen! Not to mention there is always the chance I could fall into a lake and get covered in leeches, or get surrounded by wolves, or chased up a tree by a bear… Hopefully a very soft bear so I'll at least know one pleasure before I die! There are all sorts of fears I had envisioned before the day of the trip, but anxiety just be like that.
I met up with my friends at the trail and learned that friend Six decided to bring her bf along, which I was upset about but I guess he was just going to get a hotel room nearby so he'd be close enough to her to feasibly show up if we needed any help. She later told us that he worries all the time because his father went missing in these woods years ago and he's worried the same might happen to her. This is where I learned that men tend to stay out of those woods because men have been going missing in those woods for years, but according to friend Six, she's been coming to this forest for a while now and hasn't had any bad experiences. Hearing that did oddly put me at ease, but now all I could wonder at the time was what happened to all those poor men.
Deep into the night we're all chit chatting, talking about where we are in our lives, things that are bugging us, what our hopes are, and dancing to the music of nature… but which of course I mean we got shit drunk, smoked some great wee, talked about sex, laughed over silly anime scenes, and twerked to slipknot girly bops!. It was such a fun night at that point that I honestly wish I could go back and never let that night end. It was intoxicating how beautiful the sky looked, and when gazed up it was almost like we could scoop the stars into our hands and sip from the sea of stars. I was worried we'd just be on our phones all night filming tiktoks or something but even with no signal, no one really seemed to be too stressed about it, we all just kind of felt safe… Almost welcomed into the forest, like being embraced by a loving mother. But unfortunately, heaven isn't forever, and men come not but to steal, kill, and destroy.
As we were drinking we decided to tell some scary stories… or well I decided to because I thought "it's so cliché but we have to do it. It feels like tradition almost." plus I would've regretted it if we didn't do it, so fuck it, right? Right. So we go around telling scary stories to one another, and I mention to friend Six that I keep thinking about those poor men that went missing. I then asked if any women had gone missing, and surprisingly she said yes… it was way back in the 1800's but after that there had never been a single missing woman in that forest again. The forest was actually named after the first young woman who went missing all those years back, and now there are all these rumors about it but I don't believe in that stuff so I didn't really pay much attention… I kept thinking "I'll just wait for the manga… or the shitty Hollywood cash grab of it…" but I DO vaguely remember the history cause I find dark history lore to be super fascinating. So there was a time when the area had more Ojibwe people living here, before gentrification moved into town. She went on to tell us that The Ojibwe people eventually began to keep to themselves because as more white people moved in, more of their daughters went missing. There are yearly parades to honor the missing daughters and to spread awareness to those living in the town. The police try to shut it down but they still do it every year.
Not long after hearing that we hear something howl in the distance. Friend Three howls back and friend Five falls on her out of her camping chair laughing. I tell them to knock it off because the last thing we need is for her to accidentally attract a wolf during mating season! I don't know if that’s a thing, but it sounds like something that’s a thing… So I'm just going to assume that it is. Don't judge me. She then says "But what if it's Taylor Lautner? Or Joe Manganiello? Personally… I'm more of a Meatloaf guy myself… But you know… RIP… But Joe is pretty fine and my mom did always hope I'd marry a black man to get melanin back in our family… But I don't think a splash of melanin is gonna override this asian/african skin so… Anyways! So these guys come walking past our camp site, and we're all drunk and high so we're already all on edge upon seeing random men this deep into the forest, but friend Four gets up and says "who the fuck are you and what're you doing here!?" One of the men quickly apologizes and tells us they're actually out here camping as well. They said a friend of theirs found this waterfall in the forest that glows because it captures the moon's light. Friend Two hears this and asks if we can go with them, to which we all begrudgingly agree.
At the "mooncuzi" I like to call it, we all sit around this beautiful natural pool lit up by the moon, and we were worried it would be cold but I was surprisingly warm, if I had to guess I'd assume there's a magma vein under there or something? Idk, I'm not a geologist or volcanologist, but something kept it warm and it wasn't my tiny bladder! Everyone was really relaxed and the guys honestly seemed super cool, and guy One honestly seemed really nice. I call him guy One because he's number 1 to me, we're still together now, and we even have another partner now, so yay! We all began talking and some of us were hitting it off, clearly… but we had all been drinking and smoking more which, honestly we had stopped… but we couldn't pass up the opportunity to get cross-faded in a mooncuzi. Nuh. Nope. Not on my watch. But someone clearly didn't get the vibe memo, because friend Two screams out "bro what the fuck I said no!"
The next thing we hear is "You don't have to yell about it like some kind of cunt!" Everyone runs over to try and figure out what's going on. Turns out guy Five didn't like being told no. He and friend Two were playing a drinking game with friends Three and Four and guy Three and Four. We learned that guy Five dared friend Two to take her top off, to which she said politely refused, and the guys didn't seem to like that. They tried to convince her it's part of the game. One of the guys said she was already in her underwear anyway, so she might as well… My guy, One, and guy Two scolded their friends for their behavior, which is why guy Two and friend Two are married now… Guess nice guys don't finish last, huh?

2024.05.16 00:10 leplusbellepoubelle I may be pregnant and I’m terrified and confused
I (31F) may be pregnant, I find out tomorrow (no time today unfortunately) my fiancé and I spoke about it and he said he’s excited if so, completely on board and wants to support me anyways he can. We’ve had scares before and I’ve had an abortion before and don’t want to do that again. I also don’t feel ready to have a baby. I know I’m 31 this month and “time is ticking” as they say. I also don’t want to have babies too late, I was planning around 33-35. The thing is we talk about children often, how we’d raise them, how good we are with kids already, how we both want to be parents and want each other to be our partners. But I am so scared because this kind of thing happens quick. I feel like if I went in trying I could embrace it but now it’s just going with the motions and accepting it.
I did the calculations thing and it said due date around January 11th 2025 so I am still quick early if at all. Seeing the look on his face and his willingness to tackle this together kind of makes me want to have this child, but I am terrified of our current medical system in southern Ontario and of pregnancy and birth regardless. It seems to clinical. I’m old enough now where I’ve heard all the horror stories. “You poop on yourself/Your butthole can tear and they stitch it/C-sections/post-partum/being rushed in the hospital/epidurals/stretch marks/pelvic floor issues/peeing yourself/water breaking in awkward places/can’t sleep/sick all the time/body doesn’t fully recover.. I could go on and on.
I just need some support and advice. I’m terrified. I don’t have parents or any family. He’s an amazing man who would make a great father but I’m just so embarrassed to be pregnant I don’t even feel like I could ever run into anyone I’ve ever known because I took so much pride in not getting pregnant young. I know I’m not ‘young’ anymore. Idk. Help. Give your experiences the good and the bad please.

2024.05.15 23:53 kiltedfrog I'll make my own Star Trek! With catgirls and turtle waifus.
The Communist captain gave me a disgusted look, but then I realized it wasn't me that caused him such disgust, but my bride behind me. I closed the comms channel. xenophobic dickhead.
The tractor beam interrupted the functioning of the gravity plates that had been installed in our brand new two hundred year old ship. They were supposed to work without power for at least twenty minutes. I had paid some attention to the briefing on the ship's systems, just not... really good attention, which was regretting Nyany let out yelp of surprise. She hadn't spent months in zero g training. I grabbed her hand and since I was still bolted to the pilot's seat I easily helped her into her seat where she strapped in.
"Thanks," She smiled at me and blinked slowly. "It's been a couple centuries since my zero-g training. Felidians do not do well in zero gravity."
We sat there for a moment holding hands, getting pulled toward the big grey communist warship, watching in silent horror. I squeezed her hand, and she squeezed back.
And then from every speaker in the cockpit, an alarm started to blare.
Torpedo Alert
A high speed flash of red, I'm guessing the torpedo, smashed into the great grey slab. It came from behind and above us, and very very close. The torpedo lodged right in the protruding tractor beam emitter, disabling it before it exploded.
The explosion rocked us backward and shook our relatively small craft.
Another torpedo seemed to come from our ship and hit the communist ship in the open hole the first one made before it too detonated. Then a visible energy shield appeared around the great warship.
We received a hail from... I hoped whoever was shooting torpedoes at the commies, the computer couldn't identify the source.
Much to my surprise when the viewscreen turned on it was Terriphany, she had clearly aged, but it was very much obviously her. I thought only tortoises lived to extreme ages, but what do I know about xenobiology.
"Terriphany, I assume you're the one who turned off that tractor beam for us?" I never expected to be so genuinely glad to see a woman I had been such as ass in front of.
"No time to explain, standby for coupling." There was a clang on our outer hull and her ship coupled to mine on the docking port.
"Captain Davis, Nyany, whoever is flying up there? Those communist humans are only gonna be disabled for so long. Be a dear and start flying us the hell away from here!" She sounded older too, but determined in a way the young woman from the hot tub hadn't.
Nyany grabbed the yoke in the co-pilot's seat and took control, she punched the throttle full forward and we dove away from our attacker. She aimed us toward the Earth, we had dropped out of the RarDrive at the L1 point between the Earth and Moon. My god, the Earth. It was a covered in a thick grey cloud from pole to pole. What happened? It wasn't this bad two hundred years ago.
As I sat there bewildered at the state of my homeworld, the hatch opened and a handful of slightly-more-human-looking-than Terriphany turtle people dropped in. I was at once reminded of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...
"Hi Dad, Nice to meet you." The first one said. He had a thick bundle of cables in his very human looking hand as he leaned over the seat I was in, and popped open the console to quickly plugged it in. "We're good Mom!"
"Standby..." Terriphany talked past Nyany and me to, I guess our son? While she pressed a few commands on her console. "Alright, Nyany, could you aim us where that navicom is suggesting, and then push that big red button for us."
She aimed the ship up from my now grey world, and over the horizon. Nyany looked at me, and I nodded. She hit the button and a Rainbow assaulted us.
"Owww Fuck!" Said the adult turtle-man standing behind me.
"Leonardo, Language!" His mother chided over the intercom. "Now, come help your old mother down into that ship. I want to explain myself to your father."
Nyany and I got out of our seats. When I was on my feet the need to slap myself in the face with both hands. Nope. Awake.
"Are you okay?" Nyany's tail said she was no edge. I could hardly blame her. That was a very wild few seconds, and now we were off again, but with a bunch of turtle-people we'd never met before calling me Dad. I'm on edge too.
"No... who would be okay right now? I'm pretty far from okay." I am honest. "But I think maybe, eventually I'll be okay. It's just... a lot to process. We almost died."
"Well... lets go see what Terriphany has to say." She took my hand and squeezed it, I squeezed back.
And we walked into the back of the ship where Terriphany, my three children with her, and two of my adult grandchildren and one of their spouses were waiting, along with a clutch of eggs that I assume contain my great grand children.
"First things first, we installed a cloak so that no one will be able to find us, at least hopefully. I put all the money I made from Disney paying me to having your children from stored DNA samples into stealth tech research. I took the pinnacle of our designs and destroyed all the research and the entire company a week before we came here to join you. This is your eldest son Leonardo, the second to hatch was Rembrandt, and your only Daughter Sofonisba hatched third. Her children with a human man, Frank, deceased, are Artemisia and Donatello. Artemisia has laid a clutch that she made with her mate, Chelon. Donatello has yet to find a mate, we all hope he can do so in whatever future we find ourselves in."
Everyone waved one at a time and when she was done speaking, I nearly lost my legs. Nyany helped me find a chair. "Get him some water, please."
Sofonisba brought a glass to me. She looks a lot like me, how can a turtle person look so much like me. What the fuck Disney-corp, Captain Tanner, whichever of them was responsible for this... I actually needed to thank. My surprise family had really pulled my ass out of the fire. I splash myself in the face with the glass of water more than I drink it, but I did swallow a little in the process.
"Okay, so that's a lot. I have questions."
Terriphany gestured for me to go ahead. And all the kids found places to sit down themselves too. Nyany stayed standing behind and beside me, her hand on my shoulder.
"So what now? How much did Disney pay you for this? Was there some sort of reality show associated with raising them too? Is Disney even still around? Why are they all named after Earth's renaissance artists?" They came tumbling out faster than they could answer.
"Disney paid Mom plenty." Rembrandt said.
"Turtin' along with Terriphany, yes." Sofonisba said. "It put us all through college. Phd's the lot of us."
"Disney named the first three of us, and we just..." Leonardo sorta trailed off.
"...carried on the tradition afterward, I guess." Sofonisba took responsibility for naming her own children in the same fashion."
Terriphany's tone took a dire note when she answered his only remaining unanswered question. "As for old Disney corp... well, they fully captured the galactic government when they went properly interspecies in their executive level. It's the Disney Way now, not the Milky Way. Humanity on Earth rebelled against Disney rule and after it was deemed the citizens had too much hope to be properly profitable for the company, the planet was bombarded from space. Most of humanity retreated violently from capitalism after the blanketing of earth in that grey fog."
Nyany was smarter than me, she asked a very good question, "So why did they try to take us alive, and not just blast us out of existence while we crawled around the solar system at near light speed?
"Oh, because the RarDrive is a bomb that will wipe out half the solar system in a single massive explosion if it's disengaged early. Old Disney was smart and vicious. This is all in your contract Captain Davis, did you not read any of it?"
"People from my time don't really fully read contracts. Just press accept or sign and assume its fine."
"That explains why the kids are such a surprise to you. I wasn't the only one you know..." She hook her head in disbelief. "The other reason to not explode you, is that you are the richest single person in the galaxy. Captain Tanner invested a small portion of your funds into buying a rather intelligent investment AI to manage your resources, and it smartly paid to upgrade itself. As a result, It the we left your AI and Disney Corp were engaged in galaxy wide commercial and financial warfare, as well as some actual warfare in terms of proxy wards. Half the galaxy thinks of you as a hero, an the other half a villain."
Nyany gave me a little shake and whispered in my ear. "Earlier when I said It was hundreds of years since my Zero-g training, I meant... from my point of view. I'm four hundred and twelve earth years old." I think she realized I hadn't properly read her bio before starting the show, but I had, it said she was twenty seven, which I now realize must have been her planet's years.
"So... now what?" I asked again.
Terriphany smiled in her turtle way, "Well If the rumors are true, then only the living Relic, Captain Davis, In other words, You, my dear baby-daddy, can take command of the AI and give it new instructions. Its current objective is to "maximize profit for Captain Davis" and the main hub will hopefully still be at the star system about two hundred light years away that we're headed to at a turtle's pace. Feel free to take some time to think about what you want to do with that information, but I'll tell you what I think you should do if you want."
"Hit me, Terri."
She smiled, and I could almost see that twenty four year old turtle girl in the hot tub again. God I was such as ass. "I think you should tell it make the star trek future actually happen."
"Yea, I think I will."
A pretty good day later, we smashed through the rainbow above a beautiful blue-green orb.

The tractor beam interrupted the functioning of the gravity plates that had been installed in our brand new two hundred year old ship. They were supposed to work without power for at least twenty minutes. I had paid some attention to the briefing on the ship's systems, just not... really good attention, which was regretting Nyany let out yelp of surprise. She hadn't spent months in zero g training. I grabbed her hand and since I was still bolted to the pilot's seat I easily helped her into her seat where she strapped in.
"Thanks," She smiled at me and blinked slowly. "It's been a couple centuries since my zero-g training. Felidians do not do well in zero gravity."
We sat there for a moment holding hands, getting pulled toward the big grey communist warship, watching in silent horror. I squeezed her hand, and she squeezed back.
And then from every speaker in the cockpit, an alarm started to blare.
Torpedo Alert
A high speed flash of red, I'm guessing the torpedo, smashed into the great grey slab. It came from behind and above us, and very very close. The torpedo lodged right in the protruding tractor beam emitter, disabling it before it exploded.
The explosion rocked us backward and shook our relatively small craft.
Another torpedo seemed to come from our ship and hit the communist ship in the open hole the first one made before it too detonated. Then a visible energy shield appeared around the great warship.
We received a hail from... I hoped whoever was shooting torpedoes at the commies, the computer couldn't identify the source.
Much to my surprise when the viewscreen turned on it was Terriphany, she had clearly aged, but it was very much obviously her. I thought only tortoises lived to extreme ages, but what do I know about xenobiology.
"Terriphany, I assume you're the one who turned off that tractor beam for us?" I never expected to be so genuinely glad to see a woman I had been such as ass in front of.

2024.05.15 23:51 lightscamerasnaction Delta in-flight movies [March 2024]
I tried to write down every single movie available on my flights in March 2024. I handwrote some of my notes to pass the 13 hours which is why there are ??? when I couldn't read my own writing/abbreviations. Note that not all titles were available on all flights, and my list is missing a chunk of them (especially titles beginning with "S" for some reason). Hope someone finds it useful! Maybe someone will get to creating a Letterboxd list of them all before me! [Posted this in movies and thought delta users might find it useful too]

2024.05.15 22:03 Calafi The Empty Box of Shame
Venus jolted awake. Disoriented, she blinked at the sunlight filtering through the blinds, revealing the empty box of chocolate sprawled beside her in bed, like a sinful lover.
“Oh, God!” she groaned as she put her head in her hands.
The cell phone’s ring made her jolt again. Glancing at the screen, she saw Aiden’s name on the caller ID.
"Good morning, my love!" she answered, forcing a brightness into her voice.
"Happy birthday, beautiful! Sorry, I’m not there to celebrate with you today,” Aiden's voice, warm and familiar, crackled through the receiver. “Celebratory dinner when I get back on Friday?"
"Sounds perfect."
“Hey, did you get the chocolate and flowers I sent you?”
“Yes! Oh my God, the bouquet is gorgeous....and all peonies...my favorite.”
“How about the chocolate? Did you try any of them?”
Venus looked at the sad empty box and started putting the stray chocolate wrappers into it.
“I got the box. It looks so fancy, but I haven’t opened it yet.”
“I ordered them from this artsy chocolatier that has unusual flavors like saffron and rose water. I think you’ll like them.”
Venus got out of bed, carrying the box.
“Yum, can’t wait to try them. You’re so thoughtful.”
“It takes one to know one. Okay, gotta run. Have a meeting in a few. See you Friday. Love you.”
“Love you too. Bye.”
Hanging up, Venus surveyed the bed and floor to make sure there were no empty wrappers left behind.
Then, quickly, she headed to the kitchen and grabbed a large recycling bag.
She dumped the chocolate box in it and walked towards the trash can which was overflowing with all kinds of candy, cookie, and cake wrappers. She dumped those in the recycling bag as well and secured it with two fierce knots.
She scanned the kitchen, making sure she had not left any evidence behind.
Nothing.
She let out a sigh and said, “Siri, play Vivaldi.”
Classical music was her constant refuge. She would let it linger in the air and wash over her nerves.
As she listened to 'La Primavera' and relaxed, her gaze drifted to her favorite painting on the dining room wall. Sandro Botticelli’s "Birth of Venus".
The painting was supposed to be more meaningful that day. A congratulatory reminder of her existence from the goddess she was named after. Instead, she felt the goddess was mocking her for the shameful night before.
She escaped to the dressing room to change. Only to find her self-scrutiny intensified within its mirrored walls that reflected with brutal honesty.
Apparent were a subtle swell of her stomach, and a telltale puffiness around her eyes. She turned, observing her thighs. At least no changes there.
She could still fit into her clothes. Of course, she could. But what would she wear? What does one wear on her special day, she wondered.
She looked at her favorite dresses, and then, as if the day hadn’t started dramatically enough, she remembered. She couldn’t wear any of her dresses. Absolutely not.
Today was the day of her interview at Bayside Hospital. The place where she'd envisioned herself working ever since she was a teenager; her dream job.
She looked at her watch. Eight twenty-nine. Her heart sank. The interview was at nine.
No time for self-pity. Every second counted.
She looked at her formal wardrobe. Silk blouses peeked from their designated shelves. Their delicate fabrics and understated patterns hinted at a quiet femininity beneath the professional facade.
Rows of gleaming pumps, in classic black and pops of unexpected color, stood poised on a lower shelf, ready to conquer any meeting or conference room.
A single impeccably tailored blazer hung center stage, its sharp lines a testament to quiet authority.
But Venus had no time to ponder. She picked out a navy skirt and dark blue blouse. She had never thrown an outfit together this fast.
She ran to the bathroom. Her hair, usually styled in elegant waves, was yanked back into a messy bun secured with the first pin she could find.
A glance in the mirror confirmed the precarious state of her hair bun, but there was no time for adjustments.
She picked up her purse and shoved her feet into the closest pair of flats.
As she raced to the door, she remembered makeup. Oh well, this was an interview for a nutritionist, not a runway model, she told herself.
But there was one thing she could not forget. Getting rid of the recycling bag. That was a must. So that she could forget all about last night.
With a final yank on the door, Venus headed out, carrying the large recycling bag like a chubby baby.
At the apartment building's communal recycling area, she cast a furtive glance around, then dumped the bag in the bin and slammed the lid shut.
A feeling of relief washed over her. Now she could concentrate on what mattered.
She envisioned herself at the interview, as a picture of calm competence. She got this. After all, no one deserved the Senior Nutritionist position at Bayside more than her.
A bachelor's degree in biochemistry and a master's degree in food nutrition, both from an Ivy League school and top of her class - this was just the foundation. She also had a decade of clinical research experience and stellar recommendations from respected colleagues.
Maybe landing this job on her birthday was meant to be. The stars were aligned and ready to grant her heart's desire, she thought.
Suddenly, a vision of Botticelli’s Venus flickered in her mind. "Think you’ll be the Senior Nutritionist at Bayside? Think again. You're a fraud! A shimmering facade masking a mess. This dream will turn to dust in your hands, just like the cookies I watched you consume last night."
Goddess Venus was right. Human Venus was an imposter. A nutritionist with a secret sugar addiction and major binge disorder. A secret that she had kept from everyone, including her beloved husband.
No one knew that she craved and consumed the very foods she told others were detrimental to their health. Frosting-laden cakes, creamy dreamy shakes, and brightly colored candies that she had learned, through biochemistry courses, were almost toxic for human consumption.
Her confidence faltered as the weight of her secret pressed down on her. The steps that moments ago seemed light and purposeful now felt heavy, each one a reminder of the lie she was living.
But slowing down wasn't an option. She was already running late.
What she needed now was a release from the suffocating guilt and shame. To numb herself, to become emotionally empty. Yes, EMPTY…. like the box of chocolate she woke up next to.

2024.05.15 21:19 MssPanda Enexis taking forever
Hi guys,
We bought house in August last year and immediately made appoitment for a new cable. The first avaliable was in January. Needless to say, we still don't have new cable. They made us "prepare" it within 2 days 2 months ago, just so they don't show up again. The last email said "week 20" and again radio silence.
We can't move to the house without the new cable as the current one is not able to support even a cooking plate.
They said something like "everybody is waiting, you can complain but that won't get you bumped up", we have baby on way and currently need to pay for double rent (rental home and mortgage) and I'm just feeling hopeless.
Is there really nothing what one can do? Have you had similar experience?
Thank you

We bought house in August last year and immediately made appoitment for a new cable. The first avaliable was in January. Needless to say, we still don't have new cable. They made us "prepare" it within 2 days 2 months ago, just so they don't show up again. The last email said "week 20" and again radio silence.

2024.05.15 21:10 Special_Artichoke_81 Boarder is ruffling on my first baby blanket. What do I do?
 | Hello everyone! I am almost finished my first ever baby blanket and I’m having trouble with adding a boarder. I’ve followed this pattern and did what they instructed as a finishing row after the V stitch row (slip stitch in CH2 space, CH3, repeat) but I wanted something more substantial for the boarder. I found instructions for a scalloped boarder online so I tried doing SC1, TR4, SC1 in the CH3 spaces but it’s ruffling and not laying flat. What should I do to get a scalloped look while making sure it lays flat? Or are there any other suggestions for a boarder? Thank you all so much in advance!! submitted by Special_Artichoke_81 to CrochetHelp [link] [comments] |
2024.05.15 20:55 burnt_toast808 31F Hook Line And Sinker Disabled Poet Looking 4 Friends!
Hey it's Disabled Chick again! Well I'm not a superhero, friends normally call me Rin, lol
But yeah I didn't mention in my last post I write poetry often, here's one now that just came to me:
............... If I swear (I swear baby) Would you stay No don't walk away Stay awhile I swear I'll make it worth your while Upon first sight You jump my heart Revived my engine with jumper cables We don't need to give it labels (yet) Just settle in Sattle your horse beside mine We gallop wild in the day and night Wrestle wet and dirty fight all through the night Yeah all through the night Maybe too soon But I couldn't help it baby Your soul is irresistible Quickly you got my guards down I dial just to hear your voice That sound like angel music Oh I'm my harshest critic and you know it Wrapping me up in your feathers and fur This comes with a feeling I can't ignore So if I swear Promise up my heart Won't you stay more than awhile Our kind of romance never goes out of style Timeless Iridescent Ocean blue So true Oh just got kiss it Oh just got to bite it Playful And I thought I was all ice How did you How could you But you did Melt me with that smile (So stay awhile) And now I smile too Oh above tell me I'm no fool to give into you No I'd be a fool to resist fate State, profess now You love me too
................
Last post was successful I made some friends! Thank you so much!!! I'm looking for more friends at any time zone...
I want to talk about everything under the sun, our triumphs and tribulations... What music we've got on repeat, gifs, shorts, recommend shows and movies etc
I'm currently listening to One Of Your Girls by Troye Svian, lyrics are perfection...
I'm queer and have been enjoying the terrible camp show AJ and the Queen on Netflix...
I really like scifi and stuff like the Twilight Zone or Black Mirror, stuff that's good for fun discussions...
Random thing I've been dabbling into makeup a little bit but normally I'm natural...
So if you're 21+ message your name age and gender and you're favorite toy growing up to so you read this far! Mine was Power Rangers action figures hehe...

2024.05.15 20:43 im_a_nightowl AITA for thinking my friends parents are wrong?
So I'm a British 15 female and currently in Yr 10 near mock exams, I have an attendance of over 95% due to my dad motivating me to study and to get a good education in the future, on the other hand my friend let's name her "beetle", she's also in Yr 10, a British 15 female too and has an attendance of abt 60%, yes she does have 3 nightmare siblings but her mum is forcing her to go home after first break (11:00 - 11:30), you would think that her parents would help her study. Nope. They're not helping at all. No revision, no study guides, no nothing. I have a predicted 3-4 in most subject easily raised (Yes ik its a bad grade and most of em are headed towards fail, but like I said, I study and it's only mocks. Beetle has a U (unmarked) on all her predicted grades apart from maths which is a 2-3 (still a fail) beetle has said numerous times that her parents think she's going to fail gcses. Still not an excuse for helping your kid and possibly ruining their future. I share business studies with beetle and both do Spanish despite not being in the same class. I plan on helping her revise and study when I go over to her house and helping her study since I'm going straight from school, despite not having much on that day I'll bring nearly everything I have on the 2 subjects and try to help with her other 2. Don't get me wrong her parents have done well but it's still not an excuse for letting your child fail, I really really want to see her do well in the future, I mean sure I won't yell at her like my dad trying to make me figure out 6x3 with no numbers, gentle and 30 mins max at a time cuz we both hate studying but it'll help the both of us. AITA for thinking my friends parents are doing what they're supposed too and help their eldest child instead of babying the brat of the family.

I'm trying to find a stitch/pattern that I was using on this baby blanket that I recently decided to pick up again. The row patten is two double crochets in the next two stitches below the previous row, ch2, repeat. I can't find where I saved the website and I don't remember how to end the row!

2024.05.15 20:07 WTF_Conservatives In defense of the slowest new car you can buy: Why the Mirage is the ultimate zombie apocalypse car.
I gotta say as a proud owner of the Mirage (which my daughter named "baby beast"), I was offended by all the shit talking in that other thread.
The Mirage isn't powerful. It isnt pretty. It won't get you the ladies. There's no argument on these points.
But if there were ever a zombie apocalypse or SHTF situation you will want to ditch your Ford raptors, jeeps and hummers. Because the Mirage is the best car you can have.
Fuel efficiency. There is no other car out there that gets the kind of fuel efficiency the mirage gets without being bogged down by the electrical problems or complications that come from hybrids or electric cars. And in a SHTF situation, gas will not be easy to come by. The Mirage can simply get you farther away from danger on less fuel than most cars.
Easy repairs. The Mirage is one of the only cars that you can still fix just about everything on with just a set of hand tools. It has a cable clutch. It has a freaking distributor. I'm pretty sure the most powerful computer it has is its clock. If something goes down on it... all you need is a few simple hand tools and some duct take and it will get you at least a few hundred miles away from zombies. Which you likely won't need to do because:
Reliability. The Mirage is insanely reliable. All of the parts on it were meant to be on cars that have between 120 and 200 horsepower. This little beast rocks just 74 horsepower. You routinely see Mirage with 250,000 miles on them without needing major repairs. There are a few out there with half a million miles on them. And if something goes wrong? All good because of point two.
Room for storage. The Mirage is deceptively roomy. I've taken my daughter on week long camping trips in it and we've never had an issue. We've just had to be creative. You can fit all of the zombie weapons you could need in it just fine... and still fit two or three people in it.
No one wants it.. So you think a badass Jeep with all the bells and whistles is the best vehicle for zombies or SHTF? Well guess what? So does everyone else. That makes you a target. And the second you close your eyes, someone may jack your shit. But nobody wants a Mirage in a situation like this. Only those of us who are enlightened.
Now I know what you are thinking.... but it can't go off road! And you are right. But neither can any other vehicle in a zombie apocalypse. Because it doesn't matter how high your truck is lifted or how many accessories you have on your Jeep. Anyone who has off roaded knows it causes problems for your vehicle.
That's it. I just want to throw it out there that the next time you see a guy driving a mirage... maybe do t laugh at him. Because when SHTF... you just may need him.
