Pictures of irregular figures

I f17 and my mom f35 have a rocky relationship, and it has gotten worse since my abúser finally left. Growing up I never had a good relationship with my mom, she was barely around when I was a child. But when she was we always argued, or she would scream in my face and beat me with a belt until I was bruised. She was a lesbian most of my life until I became a teenager. My mom and my grandmother made me out to be a bad, bratty, and lazy child just because I didn't want to clean my room or would argue back. My mom had taken me to a doctor because of my "bad behavior" and I got diagnosed with ADHD. The first time I had ever seen my mom get in a relationship with a man, let's call him "Jim" it went well for maybe the first year. He was like a father figure to me. Because my parents had separated before I was born due to my dad's schizophrenia. But after a while, Jim started showing his true colors. And had went off on me for the first time when I borrowed his old phone without asking. Due to the fact that the only entertainment I had were books. The phone had a radio app on it and I would listen to music. I had come home from school to find my room torn up where they had been looking for it. When I went into their room he was rolling cigarettes and I hugged him saying I'm sorry. He threw me off of him and started screaming at me, so I went back to my room. It got worse over time, and I was convinced that it was normal for parents to discipline their child like he was me, it had normally consisted of, screaming, hitting me, even giving me a small concussion. They had put locks on the fridge, freezer, and pantry, along with taking the nobs off of the stove so I couldn't turn it on and make something for myself. My mom didn't cook everyday and a lot of the times I had to go off of just what the school gave me. The day before Halloween when I was 13 I took a candy bar out of my moms purse because I hadn't had anything sweet in a long time, so my mom called the cops on me for theft. Then when Jim came home he screamed at me again. Instances like that happened a lot more. We later found out Jim was on hardcore drùgs and it had caused what we thought was his bipolar. So when he would argue with my mom he would find a reason to bring me into it and punish me. Or he would take something of his and put it in my room when I wasn't in there, or in the garage where my stuff was and take pictures of it before taking it out and showing my mom the picture so he could find a reason to get mad at me and take it out on me. He was with us for around five years and even if it isn't that long, it still left a scar nonetheless. He and my mom had my little brother who is now 4 years old. When my mom finally got rid of him she found a new man to bring around. Let's call him "James". James has been my mom's saving grace. He took care of our financial problems and added stuff to our house we never would've thought we'd have. But after a while he started trying to act like my dad, I didn't mind it at first but it became overbearing after a while. My mom ended up favoring James and my little brother. It was small things, like when she went shopping shed but a lot of food for the three of them and buy me one thing, expecting it to last me for 3 weeks. That one thing usually being a small bag of pizza rolls. My relationship with my mom got worse and worse as time went on and it got to the point where an incident happened and she sent me to a residential therapy facility for 5 months. When I came back things were better until I noticed her favoring them getting worse. This new years of 2024 I got into an argument with James. Which led to him packing his stuff. I locked my door so I could calm down and my mom came banging on my door saying she would never be happy as long as I was around. And hearing her say that made me do something that lead me going to a mental hospital. When it was the last day before I came back. My mom wouldn't let me come home and I had to stay with a family member until I was accepted to go to a trade school where I would live on the campus. I later found out it was because James said he would leave if I came back and she once again chose him over me. I'm now going to this trade school and sometimes go home on weekends for doctors appointments. My mom's best friend who's like a second mom to me told me that if I got terminated from here my mom was going to put me in states custody. That broke my heart, and since then I'll never look at my mom the same, I pretend to be nice, I respect her, and pretend we have a good relationship now, but when I turn 18 I'm going to move in with her best friend and her wife. The only thing keeping me from cutting her off is my little brother. I will never forgive my mom for chosing her son and boyfriend that's only been around for 2 years over me. And even her best friends sife with me and see what she's doing wrong. But my grandmother still makes me out to be the problematic child and saying that I shouldn't hold a grudge because she was just doing her best. So aita for holding a grudge?

Since January I've had this ongoing problem.
I have a samsung galaxy z flip 5.
I got the preorder in august and set it up with consumer cellular with an esim. It worked perfectly without incident until I moved in January. I have no cell reception at my new house- total deadzone. So I had to turn on wifi calling to recieve texts and calls. Okay, sure, no problem. But ever since turning on wifi calling, it's been down hill.
I am unable to send and receive large texts or pictures/videos. Anything MMS. However, at random it seems, certain files WILL go through to certain androids but I've yet to determine what the common trend is that allows those mms messages to send and receive.
So far CC customer support has had me:
-reset network
-reset APN
-install physical sim
-reset APN again
Every "solution" has triggered a handful of more problems. Its a nightmare. NOW, since installing the physical sim, I cannot use wifi calling. It won't turn on. I've tried resetting wifi settings, I've tried turning off the esim, i made the physical sim the primary, tried punching in the correct APN settings for consumer cellular again. My wifi is lightning fast, strong, no issues on that end. Wifi calling works using the esim, but the whole point of the physical sim, was to resolve the mms texts not recieving or sending that the esim was failing to do. I rely on wifi calling to recieve calls and texts. So I went from being only able to recieve small, NON-mms texts with wifi calling ON using the esim, to being unable to use wifi calling at ALL with the physical sim. What am I missing? I've called CC over 10 times. I've called samsung. No one has a single clue what the hell is going on. I'm losing my marbles. Every time I find what I'm certain will be the solution, it doesn't work and only creates even more problems.
A reddit user suggested I clear the cache and data for the wifi calling app, which I did, to resolve the physical sim not allowing wifi calling to turn on, amd it unfortunately did not work either. I've also already tried turning on airplane mode woth wifi on to force the physical sim to use wifi calling. Does not work.
To clarify, I don't care if I have to use the esim or the physical sim. All i want is to be able to use wifi calling at home to seemlessly send my texts, pics, videos and large texts again. I just don't understand why the phone worked beautifully (seriously I love this freakin phone) and then suddenly festures started dropping like flies the second wifi calling was toggled on.
Thoughts?
Ideas?
Anyone have a similar problem?
I'm also a millennial..grew up on phones and computers! by definition, I should have been able to figure this out on my own by now 😂

Hello everybody, I recently bought an epson c4000e, I bought the version which says can be used for Gloss and Matt both. I have a few questions, i would be very grateful if i could receive some help.

1. I chose to start with the glossy black ink, the major issue im facing is once i print labels, the ink on the label stays there, but once I try to clean it with water the ink smudges and starts to come off. I'm attaching a picture for reference. I tried changing the media type from glossy film, to synthetic, that dropped the quality down a lot. changed it to glossy and high glossy paper, the quality's the same but so is the smudging issue.
   
2. I bought this version so i could print gloss and matt both, but the epson customer care later on told me that once I've put in the glossy black ink my printer is now permanently glossy. Is that true? I didnt understand the reason of introducing this version. They couldve gone with matt and gloss separate versions then no?
   
3. I do buy my ink from epson, but the paper I buy from China from a vendor which deals in epson labels. I also need a solution to the cartidges, as they are costing me too much. No one at epson could give me the labels per cartidge number so i thought i'll try a run to figure it out on 1 set of cartridges. Does someone have those numbers? I print 2 by 8 inches fully printed labels.
   

I would be grateful for answers! Thank you so much!

Okay, so I predicted right about a lot of things in the finale. I knew that Blyke would get the Keon treatment, Arlo getting brainwashed was sort of a 50/50 chance for me an I'm not too surprised by it, and John and Cameron talked things out as I knew they would (I also kind of figured John would get to see his fathers remains too, but I never mentioned that in any of my predictions).
Now, there were two things I wasn't expecting....
Sera was a surprise for me! A pleasant one, for sure, but I wasn't expecting her to return, but I suppose it makes sense given how injured John was. I'm a huge Jera fan too, so getting to see them hold hands was awesome lol!
The other thing was Jane. I sort of suspected Jane would be the focus of John and Cameron's conversation, but I was surprised to actually see her. Not in pictures, not in flashbacks, but actually see her!
But none of that is what the title of this post is referring to. What I'm referring to a little off-shoot line that Cameron says towards the beginning of the episode...
Cameron mentions he could just heal his liver, which, considering the fact that he's likely the one who healed John by using another ability, that makes sense. But... not when you consider that said liver failure would be a long-term effect, and he might not have permanent access to a healing ability. So how is he so confident?
Well, remember that John has gotten a passive strength boost as part of his default kit. What if Jane and Cameron, as Channel Masters who have gotten this boost in the past of their training, have manifested abilities that increase their other stats as well?
I'm probably overthinking this, but it's an interesting idea to think about...

I found this on this article: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13421401/sophie-turner-joe-jonas-divorce-mental-health.html

Now, Sophie has spoken out about the media storm surrounding the split, and she admitted that she struggled immensely with 'mom guilt' and described that time as the 'worst few days of her life', while stating that her children have been made 'victims' of the bitter fallout over their break-up.
At the time, Sophie was in the U.K. filming the TV show Joan, while Joe and their two daughters, Willa, four, and Delphine, one, were in the US.
'I was contracted to be on set for another two weeks, so I couldn’t leave. My kids were in the States and I couldn’t get to them because I had to finish Joan. And all these articles started coming out…' the star trailed off.
After the news hit the web, rumors erupted that they had split because Sophie was partying too much - especially after snaps of her enjoying a wild night out with her costars just days before Joe filed began to circulate.
'It hurt because I really do completely torture myself over every move I make as a mother – mom guilt is so real,' continued Sophie.
'I just kept having to say to myself, "None of this is true. You are a good mom and you’ve never been a partier."
'It’s unfathomable the amount of people that will just make s**t up and put it up based on a picture.
'A picture might tell a thousand words, but it’s not my story. It felt like I was watching a movie of my life that I hadn’t written, hadn’t produced, or starred in. It was shocking. I’m still in shock.'
During her interview with Vogue, Sophie also admitted that she previously suffered from 'depression, anxiety, and bulimia.'
'I’m not very good at processing my emotions. I lock them away and then they’ll bubble up in years to come in some form of depression or anxiety,' she shared.
'Being a young girl, especially one growing up in the spotlight, you really judge yourself.'
She revealed that while she had taken medication for her mental health issues in the past, she currently isn't using any.
'Not since I moved back to the U.K.,' she dished. 'Which is great and also surprising, because I anticipated that I’d need to – now perhaps more than ever.
'There’s something about a community and a support system that I’ve never realized is so important up until now.
'And I think the reason I was on medication for so long is because I didn’t have those people with me.
'Now that I’m back home, I’m actually the happiest I’ve been in a really long time. I’m starting over again, rediscovering what I like to do, who I like to be with.'
Now, Sophie told Vogue that she's hopeful that she and Joe will be able to co-parent peacefully.
'I’m unhappy with the way everything played out, especially when it comes to my children. They’re the victims in all of this,' she said.
'But I think we’re doing the best we ca. I’m confident that we can figure it out. Joe is a great father to our children and that’s all that I can ask for.
'I don’t care about the politics, I just want the girls to feel loved and have everyone show up for them.'
Since she and Joe split, Sophie has been linked to Peregrine Pearson - the eldest son and heir of Michael Pearson, the 4th Viscount Cowdray, and a former film producer who owns a significant chunk of the Pearson media empire.
'I am having fun dating. It’s very fun,' she added. 'I mean, it’s strange when you get married so young. It’s like you never really learn how to date. So it’s all very new to me.'

I woke up at 2am and thought about Charlie Bird.
I had been reading through his Instagram the day before to figure out his position on the church and thoughts on how it harms the lgbtq community. What I gathered is that he’s sad for them but he loves the church. He said he drives slowly by the temple because he loves it so much but can’t go in. (Lol, what? Really? No one actually loves the temple, though I understand that I had once told myself i loved the temple as well).
His Instagram pictures are so edited. He’s so happy in all of them like he’s just living in absolute bliss. I recognize the outward image of perfection, in similar fashion to most Mormon mommy Instagram pages. It’s the moral code of righteous Utah Mormonism, don’cha know.
So I was just reflecting on this at 2am and trying to put into words why this is so weird to me, to love the church, to be banned from the temple, to know the pain it has caused him and others, to post fake happy pictures, and promote a happy gay life in adjacent to the church.
I thought up an analogy to what this is like: Dad has a big house and a big yard and lots of children. He kicked out all of his gay children and said that they can’t come in the house at all, but they can hang out in the yard for bbqs if they don’t act too gay,( but he made an exception for Charlie. He can be in the yard and act super gay because he’s good publicity. I mean we’re all really happy for him, of course. Yay for Charlie.)
Some of the gay children were so hurt, they decided not to live anymore. Some left and sought therapy. Most were pretty angry and of course didn’t come to the bbqs.
But Charlie stuck around for the bbqs. He loves his dad anyway. He looks in the windows of the house and is just so happy to be near the house, hoping one day his dad will let him in. All the straight children think Charlie is so great to stick around. What a great example of devotion! Wow, Charlie. That is super.
Um, but that’s also really fucked up. I just want to back away slowly from everyone on that property, actually. Let’s not make eye contact the neighbors… (unfortunately we’re related to a lot of them..). It’s just awkward.

Hi all, thanks to Reddit and all of you I finally figured out what these dreaded bumps are !!
A bit of back story- I have a minor bit of rosacea and have had acne on and off throughout life. It seems like this stuff popped up on my chin maybe around 30 and I was given antibiotics for rosacea by my derm. It seemed med to get better but then I got a ton of bumps on my cheeks and temples and tried every skincare product in the book trying to resolve the issue. Then I got pregnant, seemed to be okay-ish but I stopped all products out of caution. Today I’m 34 and baby is old enough and I have time to browse the web again (lol) and I find the solution of using the anti fungal shampoo on Reddit and it INSTANTLY works. I wish I had a before picture. My skin is looking so good and smooth and I’m just over the moon. On to my questions and routine help. my routine looks like this:
Am: spray face with a bit of hypochlorus acid (not consistent)
Summertime- avene sunscreen
Pm: la rosche posay gentle cleanser, dial anti bac, vanicream and sometimes castor oil mixed in with the vanicream and NEW the nizoral anti fungal shampoo
How does this routine look? Should I go to the doctor and get ketoconazol 2% cream and use that instead of the shampoo? Should I use some other stuff? Or just use the shampoo? How often should I use the shampoo? It seems a bit harsh so I don’t want to over use it, but it’s working so well I don’t want to stop completely either.
Any other tips for my routine?
Thank you so much reddit people 🫶 I finally am feeling confident in my skin again after so many years of questions

There’s an old cat book I remember reading in my primary school library in like 2018? I remember there being what I think was a ginger cat (might be wrong about the colour it might have been a tuxedo?) who lived in the loft of a barn( and I specifically remember a scene with kittens being born in the hay) , and I think he belonged to a young boy? I remember the cat was named after a Greek(I think) god (or philosopher?) and the name had significant meaning to the way the boy found the cat, or something like that, and I think the cat dies of old age at the end, or it’s implied it’s at the end of its life life or something like that. The title Im pretty sure was just the name of the cat but I can’t remember it for the life of me, and I don’t have a coherent enough memory of it to try and google it so I figured someone here might know.
I know this is such little information about this book I’m sorry, but I do know it was paperback and quite short, it would have been an old book already because II doubt my school library was regularly updating their shelves, I think the cover just had a picture of the cat on it with the barn in the background, it could have been set in Australia? I live in Australia so I’m going off that but I don’t remember if the book had a specific geographical setting

So, all of my previous drives have been your run-of-the-mill 2.5" portables, all pre-formatted NTFS. I only use them for backup purposes, so phone pictures, game screenshots, some files, etc, which I manually copy across to two drives (muh redundancy). Lots of small files basically. My dutiful 2TB drive's recently gotten the dreaded red line of "your space's running out", and I saw a good deal on an 8TB 3.5" external so jumped on it. However, it comes pre-formatted exFAT, which I'm aware isn't as well regarded as NTFS. I've only ever seen them on flashdrives myself. It's also an SMR drive (spooky, I know), so I'm not sure if NTFS or exFAT makes a difference there.
Basically my question is, is it really worth while re-formatting to NTFS, or can I just keep it exFAT? This is going to be the backup drive of my backup drive, but I'd still rather it not get corrupted or have any other issues down the line. I'd also rather not unnecessarily spend time re-formatting it if there's not much reason to. I mean, I figure it should be fine since that's how it came out the box, but better safe than sorry. It's one of those newer-era Seagate Expansions with the diagonal lines, if that makes any difference.
And lastly, if I do go the route of re-formatting, would a quick format be fine given it's never been used for anything? And any guidelines for allocation unit size, being an SMR drive (is smallelarger size better)?
Thanks all!

A clerihew is a whimsical, four-line biographical poem that follows a specific rhyming scheme (AABB). It was invented by English novelist and humorist Edmund Clerihew Bentley. Clerihews often feature humorous or satirical content, and they playfully capture peculiarities or anecdotes about a person.
Key features of a clerihew include:

1. Structure: Four lines with a rhyming scheme AABB.
2. Subject: Typically focuses on a person, often a public figure, in a humorous or light-hearted manner.
3. Irregular Meter: Clerihews often have irregular meter, with lines of varying lengths. 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫 Here's a simple example:

Hi! My name is Brit. My partner of 6+ years left me about a year ago after deciding that she was a lesbian and since then I've gone through a nice healing process myself and have learned a lot about what I want in a relationship. I have tried all the standard dating apps and haven't had any luck finding a strong pairing or someone interested in pursuing something serious so I figured I'd give things a shot here and cast a wider net. I want a genuine connection with someone who shares similar interests. I want to find a partner I wake up every day filled with passion for!
Some pictures, pretty tattooed individual: https://imgur.com/a/XZpJgap
I think that I am a strong mix of your typical nerd and active lifestyles. I am very passionate about weightlifting, being outside with my dog and yoga. I love anime, gaming and would really like to start cosplaying. Particularly, I am big about cards games like Pokemon and One Piece and my favorite games currently are Honkai Star Rail and Genshin Impact. I play everything from Animal Crossing to Elden Ring. I would love these interests to be shared on some level! I also am very interested in doing lots of travel and seeing the whole world.
I have a graduate degree in philosophy and religion as well as some certifications as a yoga instructor. I work full-time in the video game industry doing creative work as a systems and narrative designer with credits on a handful of big titles at big studios.
I am a libra. My love languages are gift giving and acts of service! A physical connection and strong sexual chemistry are very important to me but I don't have anything particular I'm looking for. Ideally we'll share some of the active and nerdy interests and are someone who wants to get spoiled. If you want an overly deep conversation about the nature of the universe or want to gush over how good Frieren is, hit the dms and let's get chatting! :)

Being eaten.
No, I do not mean being on the receiving end as someone goes down on you. Sex seems to be popular in fiction these days, if the shitty Fifty Shades of Grey is any indication, and I sorely, desperately wish what I was about to write was all fiction. Then I could sprinkle some gratuitous sex on it, go to a publisher, and hope that it would sell. Then I would be not risking my job altogether sharing this so that strangers on the Internet would at least know of my suffering in having to watch human beings die brutal, bloody deaths to satisfy a desire even more primal than sex and far less pleasurable.
Yes, I’m talking about eating. And about being literally, bona fide eaten. An incredulous notion in modern society, where we live in concrete houses and walk on asphalt streets. Where the animals we encounter are anywhere between little quacking ducks and crotch-high geese. We live free of our early ancestor’s fear of becoming something else’s food. Crocodile, tiger, lion - pick your customer. It, in most cases, starts with the intense pressure of clamp-strong jaws, driving teeth into parts of your body where teeth should not be stabbing into. Depending on how lucky you are, there will likely be hellish pain lasting anywhere from seconds to minutes (that I am willing to bet feels much longer) before death takes you. What happens to your consciousness after that is a popular debate. What happens to your body is not. You get chewed into a consistency similar to hamburger patties in some cases, swallowed whole in others. Different vehicles to the same destination of an acidic stomach. Your useful parts are broken down into a mushy soup. The rest are ejected from the back end.
A shitty way to go, literally and metaphorically. A living human being, full of emotions and dreams and hope, turned into lifeless steak, soup then shit. At least three out of five young men and women whose last days I will recount below went that way. The other two… well, let’s say that it has been three weeks at this time of writing, and I do not have much hope.
The day started with Matthew dropping several paper files in beige covers on my desk. When I opened it and saw a report complete with pictures of grinning people on the first page, I knew right there and then that it was going to be anything but a normal day at work.
“Missing?” I asked, eyebrows raising. It was the single possibility. Police could have pictures on their desks for all kinds of stuff, but not us rangers. Only then did I notice the tight line Matthew’s lips had pressed into.
“Not like that, no.” He shook his head. “None of them got lost. All five came down here from Sydney, stayed at Winston Ward’s place. That’s Ward’s daughter, Madeleine.” His fingers pressed on the picture of a girl at the top of the page. Hair dyed blue and with the brightest smile of the bunch, I noticed. “She and one other, Cathy, their Indigenous guide, are the two still missing.” Matthew pointed next to the picture below Madeleine. Cathy was dark-skinned and had a hiking stick resting above her shoulder, clearly posing for some sort of promotional photo. “And these three, well…”
I took a quick glance at the other photos. Steve Wilson had the build of a runner, wiry and dressed in a tank top to match. Lisa Mooney, blonde with gold-rimmed glasses. Ashley Lo - his curly dark hair tied back into a ponytail. I knew I would not have to pay extra-close attention to their appearance. Two missing.
“I don’t know, man. Kind of wanted your input on it, too.” Matthew shook his head. “Best you see it for yourself. The police could not decide if it was murder or an animal attack, so they requested us. Found all three of them ripped apart. Caught, well, a suspect, I suppose, on their own cam-”
“You kidding? A suspect and they could not decide if it’s an animal attack or not?”
“I know, Tom, watch it for yourself and tell me I’m not crazy. Hells, they didn’t just have the pictures. Caught the damned killings on film, and still can’t decide if he, it - whatever - is man or animal. I will send the footage over in a bit. Some photos are in there, too. Just don’t puke up your breakfast. I’m seriously thinking of going vegan.”
What the fuck?
I frowned. Matthew could not wait for someone to share his hell, I supposed, and quickly retreated back into his office, leaving me alone with the papers.
Here are the facts.
Winston Ward, your typical real estate rich guy, bought some bushland last year next to our park. His plan was straightforward - setting up lavish air-conditioned bungalows amidst the Australian bush, complete with five-star hotel facilities such as private pools and a fine dining restaurant. A luxury retreat amidst trees and shrubs, letting you enjoy the best of nature and avoiding the worst. No insect stings, soaking rains or blistering heat that the normal campers had to suffer. Just a couple of hours drive from Sydney to boot. All well and good, except for the fact that it came alarmingly close to intruding on national park’s land. So Parks and Wildlife Service took notice and kept a close eye on Ward’s project. So far, even though he has not opened his retreat and nothing illegal had been done, Ward became a popular name among us rangers. Just in case.
I certainly did not expect his name - or his family’s name - rather, to come up this way.
It had been Ashley’s idea. An Ecology graduate, he wanted to make a documentary about Aboriginal people’s way of sustainable living among nature. He got his girlfriend, Madeleine Ward, into it, alongside fellow graduates Steve and Lisa. Madeleine easily secured the filming spot with her father. They hired Cathy as the expert for the film, and the five of them occupied two bungalows. Living in the lap of luxury while trying to promote sustainability. Three cameras were installed. Two security cams for each bungalow, expectedly. The third was a camera trap, the kind used on wildlife trails to capture pictures and videos of animals. Likely intended for fun.
As much as I respect the purpose of their never-finished documentary, I find twenty six-year-old Ashley rather hypocritical, and rather gross given how Madeleine only turned eighteen three months ago. But not to speak ill of the dead, I suppose.
I braced myself as I turned the page for the photos, and failed to stop the dry-heave that came up. Three bodies, gnawed clean of flesh. Strands of dark curly hair on the first mangled head identified it as Ashley’s. The skull was smashed open, its insides, empty where a brain had been licked clean, caked with dried blood. Shattered pieces of his bones were strewn over muddy soil, brown rain water filling in troughs where the marrow that had been sucked out. Steve and Lisa was in roughly a familiar state, and I shivered at how disturbingly clean the bones were. Take away the skull that clearly showed the remains to be human, and it could have been a smokehouse’s dump - filled with finished ribs and chicken wings.
And yet, the final photo proved even more unsettling.
It was a still taken from one of the security cameras. At night, judging from the grey filter. It was still bright enough, however, for me to make out the grassy front of a bungalow. Bushes and shrubs lined the far end. A dark figure loomed over them, casting a long shadow.
I shivered once more.
I had walked into the bushes hundreds, if not thousands, of times. I knew how dense they could be - reaching up to your chests in many places. That figure - standing on two legs with long arms drooping at its side - barely had its knees covered by the shrubs. The photo, even though grainy, was clear enough for me to make out a domed head resting upon a neck so thick the figure might as well be said to lack one. Matching broad shoulders held up that neck, deltoids bulging. The… thing, apparently, had little hair as far as I could see.
I did not notice how hard I had clenched my jaws until a cramp-like pain made me grunt. Matthew could not be fucking with me, could he? I had worked with the guy for years. I called the local police station. The woman on the other end confirmed it. Unless a whole station was in on the prank with Matthew - an idea equally impossible as what I was seeing - it seemed like we had won the reverse lottery of missing and dead people cases.
As much as the Internet likes to make fun of its deadly wildlife, most of Australia has no large land predators. Dingoes are pretty much your average dog. The huge crocs live way too far to the north and sharks do not magically appear in the middle of bushlands. Neither looked like some psychopathic, cannibalistic basketball player wearing a shaved-clean, badly proportioned gorilla suit. The police’s best option was us, I could tell, but as far as me and Matthew went, we were equally clueless.
I shook my head and rubbed my temples - for a moment questioning my sense of reality. That was until an alert jabbed into the screen of my desktop. Matthew’s email.
Here are the footages, Tom. Crazy stuff. I got them to send us a scan of Madeleine’s journal, too. Found where those kids were seen last.
An unholy amount of files came in a link he attached.
The rest of my day was spent going through them all. I still know not what to make of what I saw, and I need time to collect myself before I can write of what I have seen on those tapes.
I need a nap. And dinner. But no meat. I agree with Matthew. As much as I loved a nice scotch fillet, I’m probably going vegan for a while.

Hi kind Redditors and Artists, I'm a newbie trying to figure out stuff and this is my problem.
I'm following my first blender tutorial to learn keys and stuff. This one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0J27sf9N1Y&t=424s&ab_channel=BlenderGuru
The tutorial shows that, by selecting the camera and, in its properties, toggling "Camera to View", you can then move the camera with your view, while on camera view.
The problem is:

• When I'm OUT of the camera view and I move the "normal" view with the middle mouse click, the view moves centered on an object (Suzanne the monkey, the only one I have at the moment).
• When I'm IN the camera view, and I use the middle mouse click to rotate around the object or the shift+middle click to pan, the view DOES NOT move centered on the object. Instead it moves as if it is centered on the camera itself, making it tilt like a normal camera on a fixed tripod.
• Selecting the object with "Lock to Object" in the camera properties doesn't change anything.

Even other tutorials show that, simply selecting "camera to view", without the "lock to object", should be sufficient, but... it's not?
Like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=targLPsL2Ao&t=108s&ab_channel=BlenderBaseCamp
I'm stumped. Could be handy to have the camera locked to an object while moving it, but it doesn't work.
Also, in the NORMAL view, I find myself struggling since the view it's ALWAYS locked on an object. Is there a way to make the view not locked to any object? Maybe to the center of the scene, for example?
I have the latest Blender, 4.1, and I have (not by my choice) a Mac.
Thank you very much for your help.
I will try to post some pictures in comment, since Reddit doesn't make me post pictures AND text in the post. Don't know why.

Ok this is a crazy one I love telling bc it makes no sense. So when I was in high school I had a dream. In this dream I was a man (I was a teenage girl at the time) and I was walking in this deserted alley behind some building, and I was walking with this woman with long blonde hair, at first I assumed she was my best friend at the time but I realized later I didn’t know her. I was looking at the girl and she screams really loud and I look up and see this guy in an orange shirt running at me with this look of just hate in his eyes. I got a perfect look of his face (important for later) as he was coming at me, ice pick in hand, and stabbed me in the throat. Then I remember just thinking I’m not dying yet, there’s no way I’m dying like this. And then I woke up. I originally assumed this was a dream of one of my past lives, but I knew it had to be recent-ish because of the way we were dressed so I figured if I googled it I might be able to find an article about. Long story short i found it but it happened in New York in 2014 (I was born in 2003) and the guy that got stabbed was actually alive. When I found the article I strolled down, there were pictures of the crime scene which looked exactly like my dream. And then there was the mugshot of the attacker, and it was the guy I dreamt of. Like I said I got a really intense look of his face so I’d recognize him anywhere. The only thing that was different was the article didn’t mention a woman. But my question is, why did I have a dream of a random man’s traumatic memory that happened years before (the dream was around 2020). I don’t know this guy, I grew up in another state and I’ve only ever been to New York once in my life. I just find it so crazy that I dreamt this guys memory, a guy I have no connection to in real life. Not sure why I never thought to ask y’all why u think I had that dream. So any ideas? I’ve never had a dream of another persons memory before or after as far as I know, I have had dreams that have happened in real life but nothing like that. What do u guys think?

Hi, I want to play Red Dead Redemption 2 on my Arch Gaming PC using a PS5 Dual sense controller. For some games the controller works out of the box, however all Rockstar games have a Rockstar launcher which interferes with steams controller recognition. I've tried to launch RDR2 in Steams Big Picture mode however I've had no luck.
Was wondering if anyones figured this out, for any rockstar game in general, GTA V for example.

This is the most plausible answer. I think this is exactly how he did it using facts from sermons, emails, texts, news, interviews, maps, and extensive experience with parasitic Narcissistic sitic abuse. If there is anything that I am incorrect on please let me know and I will recalculate. After typing this up two days ago, I stumbled upon Mica’s father‘s interview, and it completely solidified it to the point where I started violently shaking. I think this is what happened.
I was told Winslow‘s property backs up against that state forest. 200 acres. Right down the road. Now remember. Somebody on his staff was told to go and trim back the overgrowth on that specific property shortly before all of this happened,
I think Mica at some point had conversation with Winslow and agreed to come and talk to him at his property, a “safe place JP wouldn’t know.”, thinking she could trust him. I think mica went to winslows and JP was waiting there for unknowingly.
I think Winslow has JP‘s phone and I think JP has Winslow‘s phone so they’re not gonna ping the towers. All they saw was the license plate they never verified He was actually there.
I think JP and Winslow met at a undisclosed location and swapped vehicles. JP went up to Winslow’s NC property with Winslow‘s vehicle and cell phone, and Winslow went down south with JP cell phone and truck. I can’t quite place the girlfriend, but she is an alibi therefore she is aware that something has happened or is going on. I cannot figure out whether or not Winslow was with JP and she took the vehicle down south either or we need to find out the location of where the girlfriend was and where Winslow was. That could all be found by bank financial records of the days in question. Nobody uses cash in 2024 for an entire getaway.
Didn’t they say he got a new truck? There was something new about the truck? Did he get a new one so it wouldn’t have any of Winslow’s DNA inside of it? If Winslow drove it, his DNA/finger prints on the steering wheel would easily be on the steering wheel. Why else would he need to drive Winslow‘s vehicle if there were indications, he was driving the vehicle. Now remember one of them is a lawyer he knows what they look for. JP‘s and Winslow‘s vehicles both need to be tested for gunpowder residue.
Mica shows up to Winslow’s property, JP is there with Winslow’s vehicle, ambushes her OR Winslow is there too and the girlfriend took her phone and truck south. He already has a plan of where he’s going to take her to unalive her before she arrives. JP drives Mica’s car with Mica in it to the final location parking lot, walks her into the woods kills her, puts her stuff down and walks back to Winslow property through the woods. Girlfriend says she was with him, I think she stayed at the property or she drove a vehicle to come get him after he was done if she was there. either way Winslow or girlfriend somebody picked him up or was waiting or he went back to the property and gotten Winslow‘s vehicle and left. Remember it’s not that far away..
Now, after reviewing the 911 recording again, I do not think it is AI. The biggest reason why I know it wasn’t AI is because if you listen to the fast response when asked for the phone number, there wasn’t enough time to record that and send it at the same time. So she replied too fast. Now, when have you ever heard a 911 operator asking somebody for their phone number? That never would have been written. You still have the type stuff in the AI creators. Also, she delayed pause between every number, how would she have replied in half the time it would have taken to type all of that out. Think about it, he would have had to type a number hit space type a number hit space over and over. In a rush I know I mess up you don’t think he would have messed up? He never would have been able to get that recorded smoothly quickly in the time it took for her to respond. Again, when have you ever heard of 911 asking for your phone number?. I believe he is in the car with her after they just left Winslows property. I believe he’s sitting right next to her in the car and allows her to make the call thinking it’s going to cover up everything and benefit him. She was sending out the whistle to her family and She’s trying to buy time for them to locate her. He knew to turn off the location because she mentioned She turned it on notice how it ended at that?. My point with this is at the end.
Logically speaking if she was purposely driving to that park, she would have known the name to GPS it. She would’ve known the name of the park to give the operator. That’s why she was pausing, probably looking to him to see where they’re at. That’s why she says “yes that’s it” cause he nodded. he had enough time to process what the operator was saying before Mica was able to answer that’s why she was able to reply quickly because the operator was speaking slowly. He heard the first word and nodded. She didn’t know, but now suddenly she knew? If she was going to purposely take her own life, and she really wanted her body found, why wouldn’t she have found the name of the park before she called to give them proper location?
She would have seen oh look it’s a park and read the sign and pulled into it. She didn’t know the sign because she was terrified because he was with her. She just knows she’s in a park.
I would possibly look to see if there was any dirt roads that led to where her vehicle is at back to Winslow’s property. That might be why she didn’t see a sign. I haven’t looked too much into that part but it’s a suggestion if anybody wants to do any homework.
SO That’s why the phone was put on airplane mode so cops wouldn’t track them into the woods at the site of the incident and he would be able to get away in time into the woods without being seen.
Also airplane mode was turned on while in the car, at the end of the 911 call, I think he took the phone put the airplane mode on which is why the airplane mode was put on because she mentioned it out loud specifically, he knew the cops were coming time to MOVE, can’t follow us to the woods though. THATS why there’s no bird sounds, they did it in the car after they got to the parking lot. I think subconsciously she thought knew this was going to happen. Kinda like I told my family this was going to happen, and then it clicked what she needed to do. He brought the phone with them to paint the picture. Why would she turn off her location herself if she wanted to be found? She was already going to enter her life right? She was obviously not going to wait a long time right? Listen to her voice when it got emotional when she said she was going to kill herself. If she was unsure, why did she skip up in the exact moment? She was almost free, she had fought so hard. When you’re almost free, what would make you think she would want to stop now? Listen to me clearly, he was in the car. She needed to send out a dog whistle to the people she had told she she told him she would admit to the suicide if she could have her body found. She knew she was going to die and she knew she needed to make sure her family could piece this together. Therefore the only plausible answer is he was in the car with her. She was emotionless probably because the gun was already on her, the phone was removed from her because she mentioned the airplane mode specifically he thought they can’t trace us out to the woods, airplane mode goes on. He walked out to the woods. He needed Time to get away and couldn’t have them knowing exactly where he was to go to first so he could escape right after.
Now he goes into the woods by possibly dragging her which is why she has a bruised wrist. That might be why she started crying. She might have tried to get away when she knew what was going to happen or that it was happening hence why there’s multiple rounds. This led to possible yanking, and then the gunshot, which is why the fisherman heard the crying. Then it was over. Put her in the water he placed her belongings and Then he walked back towards Winslow‘s property. I want to know if there’s a phone call between mica and Winslow, was this drive scheduled day of or days prior and gave enough time for it to be planned. I believe at that time he got back into Winslow’s vehicle met somewhere with Windlow switched vehicles again. JP going to his home and Winslow going back to his home. The funeral and everything was already preplanned and scheduled due to the fact they already knew what was going to happen and already had it pre-planned and needed to make sure it was swift and left no room for delay. Her family, knowing they would want to see her, he manipulated them into signing the cremation holding her body over their heads. Taunting them via text message blaming them to create the narrative. Otherwise, what would be the big deal of allowing them to see the body without needing something in exchange? He knew they would have questions afterwards. At that time all they had was the 911 call and a body, sometimes you need time to process. You know when something happens and then later on you’re like wait what? He wanted to make sure that body had no stop on the cremation process to get rid of all evidence before thosequestions inevitably came. He got ahead of it so there was no hiccup in delays because he knew he had to allow them to see the body to the public that would be the moral right thing to do. Not allowing them to see the body would be suspicious. He figured out how to make it work for both. He talks about laying with her body four times and trying to raise her from the dead, was this guilt or was it like when somebody puts a deer head on the wall?
Now remember, she has already been predisposed to trust Winslow. He mentions Winslow in an email to her previously, obviously showing that he & his wife were a trusted friend of hers as well. It’s 100% a possibility that Winslow told her to come up and talk where she was protected and JP wouldn’t find them, and Winslow left with the truck and met with JP and they switched. Winslow south, JP north. Winslow had asked his staff to clean up that overgrowth on the property. It being a wooded area, was this done so that the roadway was assessable for the plan? she probably drove down some type of dirt road, and he ambushed her in some manner. North Carolina Woods are dense, therefore easily to hide when she pulls over.
Now, how do I think that JP convinced Winslow to help, I believe JP convinced Winslow , Mica was going to tell on all of them and ruin their lives. This could have been backed up by the fact that all the documentation that she had previously collected had gone missing, and was brought to Winslow to paint Mica as an enemy so this was enough for him to convince Winslow that their future and freedom was inJeopardy. When JP was actually afraid she was going to tell on his abuse and life and ruin him. So they killed her to protect their life.
They said something yesterday about breaking news how they found that the notary was forged? Thats enough for me to draw speculation because it was done by Winslow that he is now in on the dirty dealings. He is a part of the actual dirty dealings against mica He knows something is being done wrong and he is condoning it.
That notary that was done on the power of attorney from mica was falsely notarized. Mica was not present for the notary. There was an article on earlier I was looking at but I was in information overload. I just know It was not legally notarized. This shows that Winslow does not have integrity. How far is he willing to go to protect JP and all of their secrets?
I think she told JP she just wanted her body to be found for her family and she would go without a fight. I believe that it was a dog whistle to her family. The clue they would need to know this wasn’t suicide. She told them and now she needed them to remember. She knew she was going to die and everybody needed to know about the gunshot specifically that she warned everyone about days prior. He didn’t know she told people close to her that that. That’s why her voice broke up when she said she was going to unalive herself. She did not want to die. She just wanted people to be able to solve the crime. She manipulated him into thinking he was going to get away with this because she is admitting to it being a suicide. Not knowing She had whistled what was going to happen, she needed people to listen. She offered up no extra information during the 911 call which then delayed the process hoping they would find her location. She told her dad days prior she’s getting a gun for protection. I think she got it before she drove up there just incase and the bruises on her hand may be him wrestling it from her. Maybe at arrival.
A search and rescue dog can smell from weeks to months after somebody has left the area, and if anybody can get something of his and be able to place him there in the woods, you have convincing beyond a reasonable doubt.
After writing this up yesterday when I was complete, I got super sick to my stomach. I was shaking. I could see it completely out in my head where all the facts completely aligned. I believe tthis is the only plausible theory there is.
What people need to realize at the end of the day the good attention and bad attention is still attention to a narcissist. He is enjoying the intention is getting from this primarily from getting away with it. That’s why I believe he visited her body four times after she was deceased. Because he already had a girlfriend, he already talked about going and getting a hot wife and then after she dies, he does an interview about how she’s the most incredible wife and supportive. He made the obituary about how awesome he thought she was to still collect her validation and the validation he got from being her husband because she was good. She was light and he was jealous of that. He wanted that that’s why he had that position. She loved him so much he claimed and how she was so wonderful he claimed yet she didn’t want him when she had a no contact order and wanted a divorce obviously, he wasn’t that. and if you guys don’t think he groomed her go to the memorial of life sermon and listen to the poem again. Now switch the words, “school” and “church.” And follow the story line.
He killed Mica Miller.

He killed Mica Miller.

I am looking for a lady between 25 and 35 years old, for a committed monogamous childfree relationship. My goal is to become a true team, supporting each other, caring for each other, nurturing each other and helping each other grow and realise our goals and dreams as much as possible. I'm hoping to find someone that values a relationship as much as I do and takes it seriously. It's not the only thing my life revolves around, but it's also not just something 'nice to have' for me.
I am 186cm tall, slim/fit built, dark brown hair, brown eyes. Both my arms are tattooed (full sleeve), as are my calves and the areas above my ankles. Regarding pictures see below. I am a runner, training multiple times a week. I'm also vegan. My love languages are physical touch and words of affirmation. While I am mostly securely attached, withdrawing from me triggers anxiety and I have made a horrible experience with an avoidant partner in the past, so that is something I fear I cannot deal with again.
I am also an atheist.
I am a very warm, soft and sensitive person, I think I am humorous, I am self reflecting a lot and I can also be really passionate and romantic. Those are traits that also are really important to me in a woman.
I can be quite social, I am a good talker, but also love to listen to really get to know someone on a deeper level. I can enjoy an evening out with friends just as much as the silence of sitting at the shores of the river and watching the sunset in solitude (although I've been craving to watch it together with a partner for a really long time now). I can be out in a pub, at a rave, a metal show or at a football game and have the time of my life, but I cannot do these things every day; I need recharge time (on the sofa, in the woods for a run, a lazy Sunday staying in bed etc.). This should give you an idea; basically, I am a homebody that thoroughly enjoys going out in moderation.
I won't say too much about hobbies; suffice it to say I am into the dark, the obscure, the macabre, the occult, the mysterious, the erotic. It won't surprise you that I had a gothic phase in my youth, bonus points if you did too!
What I'm looking for
Although similar hobbies and interests are a plus, emotional and intimate compatibility are more important to me. I am a very sensitive and emotional person (I do cry easily and by this point I don't think I'll ever be able to change that, sorry), so if you're too, we will definitely understand each other. I need someone who I can open up to (which I do rather quickly, anyway), be myself, bare my soul to and I need these things from you, too. I've had my share of emotionally unavailable women who were afraid of intimacy so I know I can't deal with that again because of the way how those things affect me. I am always emotionally invested with the woman I pursue and in those cases that was to my detriment. But my ability to feel so deep is also something I wouldn't want to change because as of yet, although it's getting harder, I haven't given up on finding someone.
With those emotional needs come two requirements that I found to be vital over the years: First, being able to be silly and cutesy together and to accept each other's inner child and care for it. I am not talking about having to deal with another person's immaturity or inability to perform basic adult skills, rather with the way sadness, hurt, anxiety and being overwhelmed manifests for me (and maybe for you, too?). I need someone who is able to comfort me, to hold me, to allow me to be weak and needy for a while until I've calmed down, and I'm more than ready to offer the same. Your inner child can come out for a while, no problem (: Also in a positive way: Thankfully, today everyone seems to be understanding of the cuteness overload cats (or any animal baby, really) can cause; I need that with a partner. I also still have plushies as comfort animals and ideally, you do too.
Apparently in every relationship, one person is the stronger one. In the past, I have been with women who obviously were stronger than me, but that doesn't mean they always had to be strong, far from it. I certainly need to be able to feel protected, but it's not like I'm a particularly needy partner, like everyone, I have my ups and downs, but I can pull my weight and have been told by past partners that I am very caring and that they felt safe and understood with me, and providing that for my partner is really important for me as well.
Second, intimate compatibility. I am rather insatiable and love to experiment when it comes to the bedroom, so you should, too, in order that we can explore and enjoy together. I found out how fulfilling living out those fantasies can be after years of never being able to try and in a relationship, this kind of fulfillment for both partners is a must for me. I found the term 'filthy best friends and partners' to be a perfect description.
I'm looking for a balance between healthy independence and being emotionally present. A relationship where we 'get' each other; we're both each other's number one and treat each other like royalty. Where a disagreement leads to more intimacy between us as we understand better, not to resentment. Where we're comfortable baring our souls to each other, becoming a safe haven and secure base for each other. I don't like the modern notion that you 'should never feel too safe in a relationship' because that sounds like running from the mafia (and believe me, I love mafia movies); you should always put in effort, yes, but safety is one of the things I always want to experience and provide in a relationship. We shouldn't fear that a disagreement leads straight to breakup. I know ‘self-sufficiency’ is trending right now, but I feel like as partners, we’re partly responsible for each other and not our own but also each other’s happiness. Being dependant and dependable at the same time is important; making each other’s wellbeing a priority. If you’re not able to healthily depend on someone and their support while you’re having a hard time, look elsewhere. If I have to be afraid you’ll run at the first major problem that surfaces, even if it’s a ‘you’-problem, it’s not going to work. I think that all things can and need to be talked about. If you think ignoring someone for days is a form of communication, please look elsewhere.
I am looking for someone real. We all have our problems, I don't want or need a 'perfect' person. You don't have everything figured out or 'all your shit' together. Be imperfect. Admit when you feel sad and angry, lonely, hopeless or even helpless – it's all relatable. Don't hide it. Be quirky, be dorky, be witchy, opinionated, be yourself. Don't pretend.
I'm looking for someone to share romance with. Not great gestures, but small, meaningful ones. Poems for each other, expressing our feelings; cards with heartfelt messages that we put our perfume/cologne on, and a symbol that means something to us only, the print of your lips with lipstick, the way I sign and seal my letters for you.
Just as important to me is agreeing on living a healthy life, staying in shape both for ourselves and for each other, regularly working out and eating healthy. I am drug and disease-free and expect the same of you. I do drink as I love a good beer or glass of wine, rum or whiskey, but I've never really been drinking much and especially during the past year have further reduced it. One vice I have is that I enjoy a couple of cigars a year, but I can definitely accommodate you in this regard.
Another important point is aligned life goals: I value safety more than adventure. I want to build a home together with my partner, a safespace for the both of us, where we always feel loved and protected, a place that we create together, make it cozy together so we just love to get back home there wherever we might have been, a home we decorate together for Halloween (my favourite holiday) or Christmas or Springtime, as we live in tune with the seasons, enjoying nature on a walk or the rain outside, reading in our cozy home. I value stability and harmony.
Appearance-wise, I am into ladies on the smaller side), so I'm looking for someone petite/slim/skinny/healthy-fit. Likewise, I am not really muscular and don't have visible abs; like I said, I'm a runner, so if you're more into the gym-type, I'm not a good fit.
I’d prefer to move from text to voice calls, videochat and then meeting up, all of that rather sooner than later. Not that there’s a need to rush anything, but I’d rather see earlier if we’re compatible or not; as someone who catches feelings fast I need to protect myself.
Caveats

• I don't like travelling as it stresses me out; I don't mind being somewhere else for a week or two, but the organisation part of it drains my energy very quickly and dealing with stuff that doesn't work out is overwhelming to me. Smaller trips are ok, but I'm not the right person to travel the world with.
• I am not the most awake person in the morning (i.e. I identify as nightowl)
• I don't want children and had a vasectomy
• I need space for my own projects/time to recharge after social interaction.
• While I feel like I am in tune with my inner child and working on/with it through therapy, I realise this is something that could be a turn-off for people.
• I have been diagnosed with depressive episodes in the past and am taking anti-depressants right now. I realise that I am a work in progress, maybe more so than in times past, but I manage and the fact that I'm putting myself out here is based on me being ready to get to know someone new.
• I want to create a home together here, as I'm firmly rooted where I was born; I realise this is a lot to ask, but I have seen many people here being open to moving, so I want to at least try reaching out to them.

If you're interested, feel free to message me and include some pictures of yourself and I will reply with my own. Have a nice day (:

General
I am looking for a lady between 28 and 35 years old, for a committed monogamous childfree relationship. My goal is to become a true team, supporting each other, caring for each other, nurturing each other and helping each other grow and realise our goals and dreams as much as possible. I'm hoping to find someone that values a relationship as much as I do and takes it seriously. It's not the only thing my life revolves around, but it's also not just something 'nice to have' for me.
I tried to be as concise as possible while still providing what details I think are crucial to know; I realise this post turned out very long, but I prefer those because I can get as good an idea as possible with detailed descriptions, bar actually talking to the person, and find that very valuable, so if that also applies to you, that would be awesome.
Basics
I am 186cm tall, slim/fit built, dark brown hair, brown eyes. Both my arms are tattooed (full sleeve), as are my calves and the areas above my ankles. Regarding pictures see below. I am a runner (ranging from 5k to full marathon), training multiple times a week. I'm also vegan. My love languages are physical touch and words of affirmation. While I am mostly securely attached, withdrawing from me triggers anxiety and I have made a horrible experience with a fearful avoidant partner in the past, so that is something I fear I cannot deal with again.
I am also an atheist.
I am a very warm, soft and sensitive person, I think I am humorous, I am self reflecting a lot and I can also be really passionate and romantic. Those are traits that also are really important to me in a woman.
I can be quite social, I am a good talker, but also love to listen to really get to know someone on a deeper level. I can enjoy an evening out with friends just as much as the silence of sitting at the shores of the river and watching the sunset in solitude (although I've been craving to watch it together with a partner for a really long time now). I can be out in a pub, at a rave, a metal show or in the stadium watching football and have the time of my life, but I cannot do these things every day; I need recharge time (on the sofa, in the woods for a run, a lazy Sunday staying in bed etc.). This should give you an idea; basically, I am a homebody that thoroughly enjoys going out in moderation.

What I am looking for
Although similar hobbies and interests are a plus (and there have to be at least a couple things we have in common), emotional and sexual compatibility are more important to me. I am a very sensitive and emotional person (I do cry easily and by this point I don't think I'll ever be able to change that, sorry), so if you're too, we will definitely understand each other.

I also still have plushies as comfort animals (some of which in quite a litteral sense as they make for really amazing pillows) and ideally, you do too.
There is a saying that in every relationship, one person is the stronger one. In the past, I have been with women who obviously were stronger than me, but that doesn't mean they always had to be strong, far from it. I certainly, like I said, need to be able to feel protected, but it's not like I'm a particularly needy partner, like everyone, I have my ups and downs, but I can pull my weight and have been told by past partners that I am very caring and that they felt safe and understood with me, and providing that for my partner is really important for me as well – this just to put the picture I'm (somewhat haphazardly) trying to paint into perspective.
Second, sexual compatibility. I have a high libido and I have kinks, so you should, too, in order that we can explore and enjoy them together. I found out how fulfilling living out those fantasies can be after years of never being able to try and in a relationship, sexual fulfillment for both partners is a must for me. Someone on here has coined the term 'filthy best friends and partners' which I have no shame to be stealing because it's such an apt description.

I know ‘self-sufficiency’ is trending right now, but I feel like as partners, we’re partly responsible for each other and not our own but also each other’s happiness. Being dependant and dependable at the same time is important; making each other’s wellbeing a priority. I love the relationship model outlined in Stan Tatkin’s ‘Wired for Love’ and you should, too. If you’re not able to healthily depend on someone and their support while you’re having a hard time, look elsewhere. I know codependency is the latest thing everyone’s afraid of, but experiencing someone you’ve grown very attached to just bailing because they’re counterdependent and can’t stand working on themselves while simultaneously letting you in is something I’d rather not go through again. If I have to be afraid you’ll run at the first major problem that surfaces, even if it’s a ‘you’-problem, it’s not going to work. I think that all things can and need to be talked about. If you think ignoring someone for days is a form of communication, please look elsewhere. If you think’s it’s okay to lovebomb someone and then leave after a couple of months with the minimum amount of information and no proper conversation because you’re not ready to own up to what’s happening to you emotionally, please look elsewhere.

Another important point is aligned life goals: many childfree people seem to be adventurous, but that is a trait I don't associate with myself at all. I value safety more than adventure. I want to build a home together with my partner, a safespace for the both of us, where we always feel loved and protected, a place that we create together, make it cozy together so we just love to get back home there wherever we might have been, a home we decorate together for Halloween (my favourite holiday) or Christmas or Springtime, as we live in tune with the seasons, seeing them change around us, enjoying nature on a walk or the rain outside, reading in our cozy home.

The natural progression for me would be to move from text to voice calls, videochat and then meeting up, all of that rather sooner than later. Not that there’s a need to rush anything, but having my heart broken because I already developed feelings due to a longer timeframe and then everything unexpectedly turning to shit is not something I want to have to live through again. I’d rather see earlier if we’re compatible or not; as someone who catches feelings fast I need to protect myself, I unfortunately had to learn that
