2024.05.16 16:30 Complex-Cook-3193 Helpppp
 | So 2014 Kia Sorento and my brake lights won’t work. Replaced any related fuses I could find (brake switch and a couple of the modules as there’s no break light fuse) submitted by Complex-Cook-3193 to AskMechanics [link] [comments] I also replaced bulbs and checked that the brake switch works which it clicks and the light on top of my hatch works. They went out at the same time and I found these parts underneath by the rear but there seems to be no way that it plugs in and almost seems like it’s just plugged to not cause issues? I can’t find what they are but they are under a panel in my bumper saying something about cooling I can’t read |
2024.05.16 16:18 IG24Z WHY
Why
I relied on my mom as a kid. I always thought I could trust her, but she had unaddressed mental health issues that caused her a lot of pain. She didn't seem interested in getting help and instead turned to drugs and unhealthy relationships. When my sister and I were born, she isolated us from others. My mom hid her inner struggles and pretended to be perfect, but I knew deep down there were cracks in her facade.
I noticed people in my life trying to help my sister and me. However, any efforts were ultimately rejected or twisted by my mom. As her early-onset dementia progressed, her mask began to slip. Her unaddressed desires took control, manifesting as manic episodes. When my sister left to get married at 25, I was alone. It was a difficult decision, but understandable. Over the next four years, my mom's mental state deteriorated significantly. Her manic episodes became severe, escalating from yelling and screaming to pushing and even physical attacks.
One day, I reached my breaking point. I confided in my counselor, and CPS became involved. My mom, with her deteriorating mental state, saw it as a betrayal. In her mind, anyone who wasn't with her was against her. I became the enemy for exposing the truth. To silence me, she locked me in a hotel room for a week with no food or way out. The fear and confusion were overwhelming during those seven days.
The question haunted me: "Why is she doing this to me?" After seven days of fear and confusion in the hotel, I was finally released. But the nightmare wasn't over. My mom fabricated a story that I was suicidal and had me committed to a hospital, supposedly to disprove any accusations I might make. For four grueling months, I was shuttled in and out of these facilities. Thankfully, my sanity prevailed – they couldn't keep me there. However, my mom's twisted narrative persisted. Every time I tried to prove my side of the story, it felt like a losing battle.
Despite being innocent of the accusations, I held onto the hope of forgiveness and reconciliation. After all, she was my mom, and I had no other family. But her actions only worsened. The lies became more elaborate and malicious, all attempts to deflect blame for her own mistakes. Deep down, I yearned for a functional relationship, but her manipulative behavior reached a new low. This latest betrayal made me question my very existence. It was a horrible realization: the person I was trying to connect with was determined to paint me as the villain.
The situation escalated to the point where I found myself homeless for two weeks in the cold. Wracked with confusion, I kept asking myself, "Why? Why me?" Despite my efforts to do the right thing, everything felt broken. Eventually, I returned home, desperate for any semblance of maternal connection. My mom's sudden shift to a seemingly caring demeanor felt fake, but I clung to it, yearning for the bond I never had. Yet, the dysfunction persisted. On December 31st, 2023, she brought home a dying Chihuahua for Christmas. Despite being forbidden from interacting with the dog, I ended up cleaning and taking care of it all night. It was a bizarre situation – she was neglecting a dying animal while briefly showing me a kindness that felt hollow. This incident, two days after a birthday with no acknowledgment, was the final straw. When she asked if I wanted anything, I simply requested cake. Her response, "You don't deserve a cake...you keep contacting CPS," confirmed my suspicions. Disillusioned and frustrated, I retreated to my room to regain composure.
Terror surged through me as I heard her screams erupt like thunder. My heart pounded in my chest. Recognizing the signs of another manic episode, I retreated to my room, fearing another attack. She bellowed for my phone, but I clutched it tightly, my only lifeline if things escalated. The yelling intensified into a terrifying storm. With a sickening crash, she barreled into my door, shattering the already weakened frame – a physical manifestation of our fractured relationship. Screws littered the floor as she loomed closer, threats spewing from her lips. Her intent was clear: to take my phone and silence me.
: Exhausted from enduring abuse, I refused to relinquish my phone. When she lunged, attempting a bite on my shoulder, I stood firm. No more questions, just the will to take control. Frustrated, she retreated. The assault left me shaken, but resolute. With no lock due to prior incidents, I braced myself against the broken door. Ten agonizing minutes crawled by as she relentlessly pushed against it, the screws groaning in protest. Finally, the weakened frame gave way, snapping against her leg. A torrent of screams and curses erupted from the other side.
She descended into further chaos, hurling insults and comparing me to my dad, the source of our family's pain. But I was done. Looking her in the eye, I said, "I'm sorry you're hurting, you hurt yourself You hurt me. I don't feel safe, and I need to leave." With that, I grabbed my belongings and fled. Reaching my sister, I explained the situation and tearfully said goodbye to friends, fearing my mom's manipulations. My sister urged me to call the police, but I worried about their response to a mental health crisis. Determined to get help, I decided to call my best friend, possibly for the last time. I recounted the ordeal, expressing my gratitude for his friendship despite past mistakes.
Sirens wailed in the distance, then abruptly stopped. Officers emerged and questioned me. Reliving the night's events, I desperately hoped for help. However, to my utter confusion, they asked me to put down my belongings and handcuffed me. My rights were recited again, but betrayal and confusion clouded my understanding. Weren't they there to help? Instead, I found myself committed to another hospital for a month, forced to spend a lonely New Year's Day within its sterile walls.
Fueled by a burning desire to prove my innocence, I tirelessly pleaded my case. It felt surreal – I, the victim, was treated with suspicion. The worst part? The complete lack of control. Yet, I fought for what was right. The haunting question, "Why?" echoed in my head. Finally, my sister intervened, offering a safe haven. But my mom, consumed by her animosity, refused. Despite the fear, returning home seemed like the only option. It was a return to a broken reality – the same issues, different day. My resolve to escape solidified. I focused on getting emancipated, a job, anything that granted me independence. This defiance enraged her; she craved control, but I was done. The following two weeks were a tense stand-off...
My mom's manipulative tactics escalated. She made false police reports and withheld essential documents like my Social Security card to control me. Even simple requests for my Chromebook charger for schoolwork turned into arguments. Finally, during one episode, she stole the charger and called the police with fabricated stories. This time, the officer recognized her erratic behavior and my truthful testimony. I spent a brief stay in the hospital where they finally believed me. Released into my mom's care, I braced for another fight. Shockingly, she drove me to a police station, claiming I attacked her. But with the officer and my sister on speakerphone, the truth prevailed. They recognized her deteriorating mental state. The agonizing car ride became a desperate plea – why was she hurting herself and our family? Exhausted but resolute, I ended up at a friend's house for the night, then entered foster care the next day. Finding a welcoming home felt like a cruel twist of fate. Witnessing a healthy family dynamic at the ice rink only amplified my pain. My sister's husband arrived, offering a lifeline – a chance to escape the cycle of abuse. The decision was mine: get in the car or stay. As I walked to my friend's house, a healthy family dinner unfolded before me, a stark contrast to my reality. Finally, I confided in them about my situation. With their support and a secret code from my sister, I embarked on a daring escape. Two long, desert hours under the stars, navigating unfamiliar territory, led me to the school – my only beacon of hope. Exhausted and cold, I stumbled upon my brother-in-law, car just as he was about to leave. His familiar voice offered escape – "Get in if you want to change your life." With trembling hands, I climbed in, ready to embrace a new beginning
Reiners response
Despite enduring unimaginable abuse, I never relinquished hope. The kindness of strangers became my lifeline, reminding me that humanity persists even in the darkest of times. Through every hardship, I held onto the belief that doing the right thing matters. This journey has been a testament to the power of letting go, even when it means letting go of family. It's a painful truth, but sometimes letting go is the bravest and healthiest choice we can make to move forward. Witnessing firsthand the destructive power of abuse, trauma, and mental illness, I came to a difficult realization. As much as I hated her actions, I knew they stemmed from her illness. Hate breeds only hate, and I refused to become the monster she was battling within. The past can't define you. It's a heavy weight, but you don't have to carry it forever. All you can do is keep moving forward, one step at a time. Be the person you want to be, the person others see the potential in you to be. The future holds possibilities you can't even imagine yet. Embrace the journey, and never lose sight of the strength and hope you've discovered within yourself.

They will threaten to kill you or your family if you call out their scam. They might also say they will sue you. If you stop paying them, they will text you very little. They will never video call you face-to-face. Jpndate.com has a sister scam website from the same people called sayhiup.com. When you buy something on Jpndate the payment goes to Cudate Limited, so that site must be part of the scam also. There is a company in China doing all type of illegal and immoral practices. Their name is Zhengzhou Zhongzhiqi Technology Co., Ltd. / 郑州市中之祺科技有限公司 . They have their main technology business but they also run a list of many scam websites stealing money from American men, Asian, and European men. Such as Cudate, JPNDate, SayhiUp.

They claimed before to be an American-owned company then I exposed them now they claim to be Dutch. Their servers are all in China. They never filed paperwork with any foreign country. They are none of these the Chinese pretending to run many dating sites when in fact it’s all fake. They claim to be in nations their not. They have fake terms of service. I used PayPal before I didn't know it was a scam. I paid in dollars, but they refused to refund me till I told PayPal. PayPal made them. Then they refused to pay me the total amount they wanted to pay me on yuan when I paid dollars. I report them to FTC. They also try to hack my laptop for tell the government the truth about them. They probably get funds from the Communist Party government. They are very very bad people. Please look into it or forward this message somewhere where it can be looked into. Pretends to be a legit dating site but feel more like a pay-to-use website for fake love. All women here are paid actors for the site. The same few women have multiple profiles pretending to be different people. Funny part is anytime you call out JPNDate bs they change their terms of service. Screenshot everything people. They have a fake page saying their trying to stop scammers, it all bs they are the scammers. Host of JPNDate Servers: As the writing of this post: IP: 47.242.112.134 - Server: nginx GeoIP: HK - AS45102 (ALIBABA-CN-NET Alibaba US Technology Co., Ltd., CN) My Story: (Update): I know it is the same person, They told me in a text message. Do you like Asian women? Real Asian women? These ones are real! I know who they are. Hi! This is Mark Faraday talking to you. This is my story of how a website named JPNDate Idols scammed me out of 4000 American dollars. First, I was on Japan Cupid, a dating site. On Japan Cupid, no one can chat unless one of you has a membership. I bought a 1-week membership. Within 5 minutes to 10 minutes, a woman nicknamed Yomi from Japan messaged me; this should have been a red flag for me. We talked for a while. She said she was interested in me. She asked me if I could move over to the dating site JPNDate because she paid for membership there and not Japan Cupid. She also promised to delete her account on Japan Cupid after we changed sites. She does delete her account off Japan Cupid. Unlike a normal scam artist, who may only have 1 or 2 photos, she has several photos on her profile. My trust in her grows a bit seeing that. She then privately messaged me several more photos of her. She asked me for some photos, which I sent. She then sends back happy and heartfelt emojis. She told me she doesn’t date Asian men anymore because they were violent to her in the past and her last boyfriend cheated on her. She talked about how she didn’t want to fight with me. She also said we could talk about any topic. She would compliment me often, as I did for her. Of course, on my profile page, I try to post my best pictures. Throughout my life, I have had many different hairstyles. She even mentioned this and got very happy and asked if I was a hairstylist. The spam of talking between us was from January 20th, 2024, to March 24th, 2024. On JPNDate, there is an upgrade system. You need Blue Diamond to chat with others. Crown to send videos. Blue Diamond is 20 dollars per month, and Crown is 80 dollars per month. I got the Blue Diamond membership at first. It showed her with it too. After a day or two, she asked me to upgrade like she did to the Crown membership so she could send me a video. I upgraded it, and she did actually send me a video. All pictures and the video match the same person and the same face. Some pictures were in different locations, and some were like three different pictures in the same place. We then later buy a 6-month Crown membership for each other because it is cheaper than 1 month at a time. I bought it for her, and she bought it for me. At this point, I start to believe. This person was giving me all their time. They reply very often, and their texting time was the same as Japan timezones every single day. They spoke not only English but also Japanese almost fluently. However, they did let me know that they're still learning English and sometimes use a translator. She let me know that this website has something called a mall. This should have been red flag number 2. You pay 1 American dollar for each gold point. Paypal is the only thing that works. When we started dating, she said it was normal for couples in Japan to send each other gifts. It was a symbol of forever love in Japan, she claimed. As an American, I didn’t know if this was true. I googled it and couldn’t get a clear answer. She said whatever I bought her, she would buy me as well. She asked if I liked necklaces or charms. I said anything was fine. She wanted me to pick up a necklace. At first, she picked up a $1,000 necklace from the site mall and asked me. I said no; that's way too much money for that. She said how about a 300-dollar Jade Romance charm. She told me to get her white one; she would get me the green one. I questioned if she was legit. She started crying. She somehow convinced me at the time that she was legit again. I did buy it. A few weeks later, I did receive the overpriced Green Jade Romance love charm to my address from her. I never told her which day exactly my tracking information said it would come to my house, but I asked her, and her tracking date was the same week as mine. By the way something almost the same as this necklace is 12 dollars on Amazon. It also broke when I got it in the mail. Probably cost them 2 cent to make. For the next few days, we had a wonderful, happy conversation. It is late January, and I know Valentine's Day is coming. I offered to get her flowers. I got her flowers and chocolate at a very high price of multiple hundred dollars. She then gets so happy. She told me many times how she wanted to go to America and find me. We talked about many topics for several more days. She told me she worked in an office in Tokyo. Yomi told me her real name was Miyuki Miyamoto. Which is very funny because I told her before I was a Nintendo fan, and this is the same last name as Mario and Zelda Creator. She also said she had her apartment to herself, which is true; she does own an apartment. She talked about how life is stressful right now in Japan. She claimed to have grown up in the Japanese town of Nagano, Japan. She also said she had gone to a university in Tokyo with a major in computer science. She wanted to visit America in July for 15 days when she had her time off. July is a normal time for people to get off in Japan for vacation, so I thought nothing of it. I told her that I was from a smaller town in California, but I lived not far from San Francisco. I told her how my town is quiet and how I could see mountains outside my house. She said she wanted a peaceful life and that life in Tokyo is too fast. And she always had great things to say about every picture I sent. We also talk about going on dates. I asked most of the questions, but she did ask me questions as well. I started to ask her a lot of questions about Japan. Like if she visited Himeji Castle, she said no. However, I did say yes to visiting Mount Fuji. I should have asked for a photo of this, but I didn’t. She was very happy; she told me very many topics about Japan. We even briefly talked about anime. She told me she liked Digimon, Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, and Detective Conan. This information is important later. We also talked about how both of us were big Disney fans growing up. One day she told me, how work was busy today. I told her it was okay and we didn’t need to talk today. She did, however, still text me a little bit that day. This was the only day during our whole time talking when she was super busy. There is nothing wrong with this; all humans get busy. I decided to spend my evening drawing a picture of me and Yomi on a date to surprise her. When I sent it to her, she did not react. This was a red flag for me. I tried to convince myself that she just didn’t like drawings that much. I know I sound really dumb right here, but whoever I was talking to is very smart and knows a lot of things. We started talking a few days later about the idea of meeting and going on dates together. I know that the yen is weak against the American dollar right now. I told them I would pay for anything they wanted when they were in America because I was in love. This was a big, big, big mistake. They then asked if I could give them 1500 dollars to buy a plane ticket. Never give money to people you never meet in real life, folks. Don’t be dumb like me. Turns out the ticket was actually 2100, so they asked for another 500 dollars the next day, claiming their friend let them borrow the money, and they paid the difference. They did show me a picture of a plane ticket. With the name Yomi and the correct airports in Tokyo and San Francisco. This gave me more trust in them; I got a lot of photos, videos, and even a picture of a plane ticket. At some point, I talked to them about social media. They claim to only have Skype and Line. I found it very hard to believe a woman in her 20s wasn’t on Instagram or Tik Tok. I went on Instagram and typed Yomi, and I found a Yomi who looked just like her. This made me think: why did she lie? What confused me is that all the pictures on her Instagram were different from the ones she sent me, other than one image that was the same. Meaning that the images were not clearly stolen from there. I looked up JPNDate online; there isn’t much info on this website (Right Now), other than one reddit forum from 1 year ago. Someone said something about being scammed by an IDOL on this site. They also said the website wasn’t in Japan but in China. I was wondering why I never saw new females joining the website; it was the same 23 pages worth of them. I wanted to test the website to see if it was legit. I made another account, a fake male account with AI artwork. It was approved in one second. I then made a fake female account; it said pending approval. It has now been 2 weeks since I made that account, and it still says pending approval. This means all the women on this website have to be fake actors. There is also a setting on JPNDate to see who has been online last or which accounts are the oldest. When I asked weeks before, Yomi claimed she had been on this website only for a short time. Her oldest picture was dated October 20, 2023. Yet she has the sixth-oldest account on JPNDate, according to the website. The reddit forum I talked about before was over a year old. When I was on this website for a month, at least 10 other women tried to text me. There was this one profile of a woman from Taiwan, age 20. She texted me three times in one month. When I joined, her age was listed as 20, and at some point, she changed her age to 25 on her profile. I ignored all these women. This proves again that all these women are fake. I do think they are women based on how they type, but they are not truthful like they act like they are. As I write this, I just realized this is Yomi's sister; it matches the other Yomi account's sister tag. I knew this website wasn’t telling the truth. I found the JPNDate IP address and tracked it to a server in Hong Kong, China, hosted by Alibaba cloud servers. Reddit was right; the website is Chinese. I took pictures of the website code just in case. I asked Yomi if she knew Alibaba. Then she asked if I’m going to China—a very strange follow-up question. At this point, I was confused. Who is Yomi? I couldn’t find anything about Miyuki Miyamoto, only Yomi. On Yomi Instagram, she speaks Chinese, not Japanese. I started to think there are no Japanese women on this website like they claim to be. She does speak Japanese, though. I started using more than 10 different software programs to track who Yomi was. I found like 1000 pictures of an idol, WeChat model, singer, dancer, person on endless Chinese dating sites, and a valiant professional gamer part of the AI’U agency for over 8 years. I found two other Instagram accounts with Yomi's face. Another account in Chinese with an idol name other than Yomi also had a Facebook page. The Chinese account has a post about her going to Australia in early 2024, where she is typing in English words. I also found an account where she speaks only Korean on Instagram. I also found a tik-tok where someone dances and looks 100% the same as Yomi, to whom I’m talking. The part that is crazy is that none of the images are 100% the same, but the person is the same in all of them. This shocked me; I follow all the accounts. I saw the stories daily to see who this person was. Her Yomi account is just her normal pictures and atm company or something. Her Korean account is about traveling to Singapore, Spain, and South Korea. She also posts a lot about Disney toys here. When I talked to the scammer about Disney, I had no idea about this. At this point, I knew that many men had been scammed out of money for fake love, not just me. These women are real women. However, there are actors pretending to be in love. They will crush your heart and call you names after a few weeks if you don’t buy their stuff. It has to be from JPNdate Mall only, nowhere else. JPNdate Mall prices are crazy high. I am not sure if the point of the website is just for money or if it is actually for women to study English or what. Chinese women, pretending to be Japanese (most of them), that have connections to Korean music and gaming on professional teams. Man, what a hell of a story this is. This sounds like a Hollywood movie, but it's real, or at least partly. At this point, everything I say seems to be true based on what I know. Yomi told me early on that she had one older sister and one younger brother. It seems like she is actually a twin, and she is the younger sister. Yomi claims to be 25, but I think she is closer to 27 or 28 based on finding a listing of her work in 2015 at Twitch Gaming. You have to be 18 or older to work at Twitch gaming, unless your parents sign things. When I showed the pictures I found to Yomi on JPNdate, she played the victim card on me. Saying she thinks I’m a liar and she wants to break up. Then she gave me her Skype account to try to prove it was legit, and all the other images and accounts were stolen and fake. Her Skype name is Rose, with a One Piece picture. She sent me many voice clips, crying, trying to convince me that she was real. I put them in software, and the voice was 30% human, 70% AI. Clearly, a woman is changing her Chinese or Korean voice to sound Japanese. A PC gamer would know how to do this; they do it all the time to troll. Yomi told me she didn’t play video games anymore, but I found a picture that wasn’t that old of a woman who looked the same as her; she had a Nintendo Switch with a white OLED in it. Btw it’s a known fact that Yomi uses software to cheat in the Pc FPS games. I can’t let Yomi, her sister, and her idol friends scam men for their time and money. Yomi Chiense's name is Vera Yuanxin (维拉). Her twin sister goes by veravera_zhangg. Yomi “deleted her profile” when I exposed her. But Yomi is still there with no pictures. Two they clearly have other accounts with people who look like she just changed hairstyle, talking and trying to scam other men. Remember when I said the anime part was important? On Yomi's Korean account, she has a friend with whom she talks about Digimon. She gave him a Disney toy. She told me she wanted to cosplay a fox; his profile is a fox. There is just so much proof that these are the same people. Later someone hit me up on Reddit from the Phillippines and told me how the same person Yomi scammed them. How for months Yomi promise them so many things. Then when they said it came to going on the plane to visit him they said they were sick or dying or something. Yomi also made a fake Instagram pretending to be Joe Biden and sent me a friend invite. I messaged and it was so funny how bad it was on their part. I said “Yomi are you trolling me?” then they deleted their account. This was on April 6th, 2024. Yomi tries so hard but use a lot of cheap things that are clearly fake like ai artwork, bots for like at ai_u agency, and fake profiles where she comments herself and attacks anyone who calls her out fairly. After exposing Jpndate they Ip ban my address lol. Then on social media joke about attacking me. If you call out their BS they threaten your family and yourself. Just stay away from all these sites if you're going to date online use well-known legit sites. I got over 2000 screenshots of proof. https://preview.redd.it/evcjxw3yas0d1.png?width=207&format=png&auto=webp&s=1d920b832420b94b41a8a892b3a6550639465fa3

2024.05.16 14:42 DrGravityX what program gives the smoothest motion interpolation?
i dont care about artifacts, all i care about is the smoothest possible motion with the least amount of stuttering. i watch movies in 60fps on my home theater and i like the realistic effect, so dont ask me why. its my preference and my friends prefer it too over 24fps.
the main reason im looking for the smoothest stutter free interpolation is because everytime there is stutter, it takes away from the illusion of smooth motion. having stutter once in a while is acceptable. but almost all programs i've tested have stutters way too often on sudden panning scenes etc.
so, it can be a real-time interpolation program or a video converter. ill either watch the movie real-time interpolated to 60, if the program is good enough, or i dont mind converting the movie to watch it after.
let me tell you what i've discovered from my experience:
the only reason i asked this question "what program gives the smoothest motion interpolation?" is because i want to know if there is a better alternative, as some people might discover some rare gem or "unheard of" program, that can probably interpolate perfectly.

let me tell you what i've discovered from my experience:
- the only real-time program/filter that gives the smoothest, stutter free, motion interpolation, i've ever seen on windows, is dmitri render. its a filter you can use in mpc player. the only drawback is more artifacts than svp etc. but i dont care about the artifacts, smooth motion is important to me. but the main reason i dont use dmitri is because of their retarded payment system, which registers your HWID, and almost everytime you plug in or plug out a device from your pc, dmitri render registration thinks its a different pc and i need to keep contacting the developer to activate it for me. sometimes he does not activate it for me because he thinks im lying and changed my pc. the retarded devs who use HWID registration method should simply change it to a login system, such that you can login to only one pc at a time, and use the app on one pc at a time. in the end using dmitri was too much hassle and i gave up on it.
- the only device where i've seen the least amount of stuttering and ultra smooth motion, is on sony bravia tvs. other tvs suck at it. (even if you do research almost everyone agrees that bravia tvs have the smoothest motion). if all other suggestions fail, then my best bet is to buy a bravia tv to consume content or play games.
- svp (smooth video project) is smooth, but it is not as smooth or stutter free as dmitri render. dmitri render maintains consistent smooth motion.
- splash pro player is by far the best overall player in terms of features, audio bitstreaming, snapiness, and user friendliness. but the biggest drawback it has with it's frame interpolation engine is, it's probably the worst of them all. it has the most amount of stutters.
- ffmpeg frame interpolation conversion is smooth but it still has stutters.
- avisynth scripts to convert are also not stutter free.
- after effects frame interpolation is also not great. not stutter free.
- dont recommend me flowframes or dain. while both of these have been recommended recently by many, rest assured that they also have not solved the stuttering issue to maintain ultra smooth motion like bravia tvs or dmitri render. what the heck is the use of using all the next level AI to interpolate while not fixing basic shit like smooth stutter free motion.
the only reason i asked this question "what program gives the smoothest motion interpolation?" is because i want to know if there is a better alternative, as some people might discover some rare gem or "unheard of" program, that can probably interpolate perfectly.
2024.05.16 14:01 FelicitySmoak_ Monday, May 16, 2005 - People v. Jackson Day 53
 | Trial Day 53. Week 12 submitted by FelicitySmoak_ to WhereWasMJToday [link] [comments] Michael goes to court with Katherine & Randy. Witnesses in the trial chipped away at the prosecution's theory that Michael conspired with associates to hold Gavin Arvizo & his family captive. Maria Gomez, one of Jackson's housekeepers, testified through a Spanish language interpreter, that Janet Arvizo praised Mr. Jackson as a blessing to them and said he was like a father and she wanted her children to call him Dad. But about a week later, Gomez said, the mother started to complain about being held against her will and wanted to leave Neverland because three of Jackson's associates were interfering and coming between her and Mr. Jackson. One of the three associates was Dieter Wiesner, who has been named as an un-indicted co-conspirator. The defense team has sought to suggest that the associates were actually conspiring against Michael to profit off of his troubles rather than conspiring with him Ms. Gomez also stated that while cleaning a guest unit where members of the Arvizo family stayed, she saw adult magazines in an opened backpack belonging to Starr Arvizo Angel Vivanco, a chefs assistant, also testified that the boys showed him sexually explicit material when he delivered food to them in one of the guest cottages. The prosecutions idea that Michael used alcohol to lure Gavin was also challenged by former security guard, Shane Meredith, who said he once found Gavin & his brother, Starr, in the wine cellar unaccompanied with a half empty wine bottle. "I saw the two children laughing, giggling. I could see them with a bottle of alcohol. I told them to get out of that area right now. ..They were pretty shaken up", Meredith saidGavin & Starr previously testified that the only time they were in the wine cellar or drank alcohol was when they were in the presence of Michael Vivanco also testified about an incident he claimed to have had with Gavin and liqueur. He stated that Gavin once demanded that he put a liqueur into a milkshake. "He said if I didnt do it, he would tell Michael and I would be fired", Vivanco testified.The defense, who maintains that Vivanco developed a relationship with Gavin's older sister, Davellin Arvizo, wanted to question him about comments she allegedly made to him critical of her mother & other family members but Judge Rodney Melville severely limited that line of questioning saying it was inadmissible hearsay. Orthodontist, Dr. Jean Seamount, testified that she removed braces from Gavin and his brother on 2/24/03, during the time frame the mother says the family was being held captive In earlier testimony, Janet stated that the appointment was a ruse for them to get away from Neverland and seek help, which she abandoned because the family was being watched. However, Seamount said the family never asked for help, tried to call for help or attempted to leave the office. She said she saw no body guards. When asked if the family members appeared afraid, Seamount answered: "Not at all" Seamount said Janet told her she wanted the braces removed and sent back to the orthodontist who put them on the boys because that dentist was hassling her and wanted to charge her more after discovering their connection to Mr. Jackson. "I spent quite some time explaining to her the need for treatment but the mother insisted on removing the braces", she said.Seamounts assistant, Tiffany Hayes, described Gavin as "rude and kind of a brat". She said her impression of him was that "he believed he was better than us". Hayes also said Neverland's property manager, Joe Marcus, who called to make the appointment, waited for the family in the lobby and that Neverland was billed for the treatment. Carol McCoy also testified that she gave Janet Arvizo a full body wax at a Los Olivos day spa on 2/11/03. "Her legs, brow, lip and face were waxed, and she got a bikini wax", McCoy said. "Did she say anything or do anything that suggested she was being restrained in her liberty?" asked defense attorney Robert Sanger. Neverland worker, Kathryn Bernard, testified that she took Janet to the waxing appointment and arranged to pay the bill. Bernard said, during a conversation on the way, Janet, whom she barely knew, started divulging personal information. She said the woman told her she was trying to get away from her husband and commented on how well Michael was treating her at Neverland. "She was just praising Michael and telling me how bad she had it with her ex. I kept thinking, I dont know this lady and why is she telling me this?", Bernard said.Ms. Bernard also said Janet "never" complained that the family was being held prisoner. None of the witnesses who testified said they saw a film crew following the family on their trips away from the ranch as the mother had previously testified in court Outside court, Jackson spokeswoman, Raymone Bain, said the defense expects to call CNN talk show host Larry King to testify this week. The defense is expected to ask King whether attorney Larry Feldman once said during a breakfast meeting that the accuser's mother made up the molestation story. Feldman has denied the story.

2024.05.16 10:43 unlucky-loser- How to not feel hopeless and lonely in life. Wtf do people do to occupy themselves?
For context I am 22 F. I guess I came on here for validation or something. Actually I don’t know why I’m here but this is how I feel. My days are boring and LONELY. I have no job. I don’t have a desire to work. I can’t work at the moment anyway (mental health struggles and awaiting other things that I need to get back into work). My family works. I’m home alone all day every weekday. I have Autism and ADHD. My family do not support my diagnosis or needs (sensory, emotional, support needs). I had a partner who I was with for 2 years. They were my person. Before we got together, I had quite a few friends. I was my own person and so were they. During the relationship, I lost pretty much all of my friends due to them moving away, not being good friends or we just slowly drifted. My partner and I just broke up. I broke up with them for many reasons. We have different ways of showing love, they lied to me multiple times and they weren’t meeting my needs in our relationship while I was doing the most. I feel like I really lost myself while being in a relationship. I didn’t hang out with people as much or do the things I used to love doing, but I was happy. Now that it’s over, I don’t know what I’m doing with myself. I have no motivation for anything in life anymore. My ex was my main support, someone to always talk to, do things we both loved together and my best friend. I had met new friends during our relationship but they aren’t “close” friends. I can’t expect them to talk to me every day and support me all the time. I miss having a best friend. I don’t understand how people make new friends or become close friends with them. I’m socially anxious and awkward so I can’t go out and just talk to new random people. I haven’t been eating enough, taking care of myself or doing anything really since we broke up. On top of all of this my chronic pain seems to be worsening and I’m just so so lost and exhausted with life. I don’t want to rush into another relationship and tbh it feels like nobody can love me the way I want to be loved.
I feel like I can’t do anything by myself anymore.

2024.05.16 08:56 Hotpot-creations Short story - Romance: Paper Lovers
 | Image by Hotpot.ai submitted by Hotpot-creations to HotpotAI [link] [comments] Paper Lovers Story and image by Hotpot AI It was the year 1978, a time when technology was not as advanced as it is today. There were no smartphones, no internet, no social media. People communicated through letters and phone calls, and everything was done in real life. It was a simpler time, but it was also a time when connections were made in a more meaningful way. In the small town of Eldridge, Oregon, nestled in the countryside, lived two individuals in their 30s—Dylan and Alyssa. They had never met, even in this small town of scarcely more than 4,000 people. It all started with a library book. Alyssa had been browsing through the shelves in the "self help" topic when she came across a book that caught her eye. As she flipped through the pages, she noticed a small note. It was written on very thin tracing paper, and it did not create a noticeable gap in the pages of the book. It read, "True loneliness is absolutely the worst pain there is. If anyone out there feels the way I do, please reply." Alyssa's heart skipped a beat. She felt a connection to the person who had left the note, and without hesitation, she wrote a reply on a single sheet of thin paper and placed it in the same place in the book. Days went by, and Alyssa found herself eagerly checking the book every time she visited the library. And every time, there was a new note waiting for her. They shared their deepest thoughts, their dreams, and their challenges. They talked about everything and anything, and before they knew it, they had fallen in love without ever having met. They did this for five months. The notes were their lifeline, their little secret, their private way of connecting with each other. It was unusual, but for them that was a large part of what made it romantic. The thin sheets of paper held their hearts and souls, and they cherished every word written on them. As time went on, Dylan knew that a strong bedrock for a relationship had been formed. He knew that at this point, the natural thing to do was to ask Alyssa if she, also, felt like they should meet and take the relationship into the real world. Fortified by this decision, Dylan stepped into the library with even more purpose the next time he went. But to his dismay, Dylan was told that the book was not available. It was still checked out. This meant that Alyssa had not quickly replied and returned the book as she usually did, or worse—that another person had checked out the book and might not ever return it, or might throw away their last messages. Dylan's heart sank. He had grown to care for Alyssa, and now he was worried. He had no way of contacting her, and the thought of losing her without ever meeting her was unbearable. Days turned into weeks, and Dylan couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. He missed their conversations, their late-night musings, and the feeling of closeness to her from the exchange of such private communications. He couldn't imagine his life without Alyssa, and he knew he had to find a way to reach her. Desperate to find her, Dylan went to the library and asked the librarian about the book, giving her its exact title. To his surprise, the librarian had no idea what he was talking about. She had never seen the book before, and it was not part of their collection. Dylan's heart raced with panic. Had he imagined it all? Was Alyssa even real? But then, the librarian remembered something. She had seen a woman leaving the book on the shelf a few weeks ago. She didn't think much of it at the time, but now she realized it must have been the book Dylan was looking for. She described the woman as someone in her 30s, with long brown hair and a kind smile. Dylan's heart skipped a beat. It had to be Alyssa. He thanked the librarian and rushed out of the library, determined to find her. He searched the town, asking everyone he met if they had seen a woman matching the description the librarian gave. But no one had seen her. Many people probably thought he was crazy, and he felt a little crazy. But he was crazy in love. So he kept up his searching and asking. For hours he wandered around in a daze, trying to think of where he'd find her and how he would recognize her. Just when he was about to give up, Dylan spotted her, or someone he hoped was her. She was sitting on a bench in the park, reading a book. He got closer and saw that it was that book. Dylan's heart raced as he approached her. He couldn't believe he had finally found her. Alyssa looked up from her book and smiled when she saw him. They both knew that this was the moment they had been waiting for. They sat on the bench, talking for hours, and it felt like they had known each other for a lifetime. They laughed, they cried, and they shared their hopes and fears. And as the sun began to set, they both knew that they had found their soulmate in each other. From that day on, Dylan and Alyssa's love only grew stronger. They continued to exchange letters, but now they also had each other in real life. They went on adventures, traveled the world, and faced challenges together. And every time they passed by the library, they would smile, knowing that it was the place where their love story began. Years went by, and Dylan and Alyssa grew old together. They never forgot the magic of those letters, and they continued to write to each other until the very end. And when they were gone, their love story lived on, inspiring others to believe in the power of true love. |

However, starting a study abroad journey seems to be very challenging without any guidance. Let’s explore some different aspects and learn more about how Indian students can fulfill their academic goals abroad.
Understanding the Academic Goals
Before physically moving to a different country to study abroad students need to have a clear understanding of their academic goals. The Decision to study abroad can be a life-changing decision for the students. So, students need to be careful and plan in advance. Students should know what they want to achieve. It will help them in providing guidance throughout their academic journey.Research About Destination
Every country has its unique specialties and different education systems. Students should conduct thorough research about the country they want to study in. In the research process, every aspect should be covered such as how many universities are there in the country, whether is there any financial aid available for Indian or international students by the government, stand of living, job opportunities, living costs, accommodation options, and visa regulations. Students should know everything about the country before stepping there as a decision like study abroad is not something you make overnight, it should be well-planned and well-researched.Choose the Right Institution
After choosing the destination to study abroad, choosing the right institution according to the student’s suitability is very essential. Students should take enough time to conduct thorough research about the type of institution a country has. While deciding the university to study at, students should consider various aspects such as how many campuses are there, what are the locations of the campuses, whether does university provides scholarships to international students, availability of on-campus accommodation, tuition fees, support services for international students, faculty expertise, availability of desired course, duration of the course, reputation of the institution. All these aspects are very important for students when deciding the institution to study abroad.Plan Early and Strategically
Students can achieve a successful study abroad journey only when they start planning early and strategically. Indian students should plan their journey in advance in order to avoid any kind of discrepancies and panic situations later. They must be clear about their academic goals, the country they want to study in, the institute, application deadlines, and more. Early preparation also allows students to address any potential challenges such as language proficiency exams (IELTS, TOEFL), standardized tests (SAT, GRE, GMAT), and document procurement.Moreover, a well-planned approach to study abroad allows students to achieve their academic and personal objectives with the special opportunities presented by studying outside their home country. The approach of “plan early and strategically” allows students to embark on their study abroad journey with confidence and purpose that helps in maximizing the potential of this life-changing experience.
Adapt to the Academic Environment

Being open to change will allow Indian students to overcome challenges instantly and also allow them to make themselves comfortable according to their surroundings. Indian students should incorporate effective study habits, and use available resources such as academic support provided by institutions, libraries, and online learning platforms to perform well academically.Seek Support Networks
As an international student, dealing with the complexities of an unfamiliar education system can be very challenging, students should not continue the journey all alone. They should seek support from their mentors, fellow Indian students, or study support committees recruited by the institutions. Handling everything alone can be overwhelming for Indian students, seeking help will encourage them and they will have guidance whenever they are stuck in any situation. Students are advised to take part in extracurricular activities, and different societies, to build more meaningful connections.Manage Homesickness
Most of the international students face homesickness as the biggest challenge in their journey of study abroad. It is very important for the students to manage homesickness as it can discourage them and distract them from their goals.

2024.05.16 06:36 cheersneanderthal rant got tilt table test results back
today i got tilt table test results back. a nurse called me over the phone. she said my results were abnormal, and highly suggestive of POTS. & everything just is clicking into place for me. i can’t stop thinking about it, and need to get it all out.
i’ve been exhausted my whole life. i am almost constantly fatigued. like the kind of chronic tired where i can regularly sleep for 14 hours straight no problem. where even if i’m consistently getting 8 hours everyday i still need a scary amount of coffee to do basic level function. most days i don’t function very well at all. my brain is constantly foggy. i forget things constantly. i lose my wallet & keys & debit card weekly. i literally can’t think straight most of the time, and everything’s kinda blurry in my head. when i stand up i usually feel like i’m going to faint, but i never do, so for the longest time i pinned this on me being weak, out of shape, lazy, some kind of personal failure. sometimes my vision gets blurry too, or my heart rate goes up to where it’s not in a normal range anymore. i feel lightheaded, woozy, off balance. and even though it was hard to think before, it just got a lot harder. i feel like i need to sit as much as i can. if i have to stand for more than a few minutes, i can feel the energy leave my body. it feels like the bottom half of me is deadweight, and the top half of me is giving everything it can to make sure the bottom doesn’t fall down. that’s why my chest and head feel so weak. i have bad posture, because it feels too hard & draining to properly support my torso & head. i slouch really badly to ease the burden. when i was younger i went to physical therapy for it. they thought i had scoliosis. i later found out i have hyper mobile EDS. this made sense. but no one else thought to look for POTS too. i lean against everything i can. i cross my legs to help make myself more sturdy. when i shower i sit on the floor. my feet turn red or purple when i stand for a long time. i can’t stand straight up, feet flat on the floor, legs uncrossed, back straightened without feeling like shit. that makes me feel small & defunct & like i’m not trying. how can someone be trying when they have to crumple themselves up just to remain upright. i work a job where i have to stand all day. i fuck things up a lot because my brain is cloudy and my body feels sick. i have to sit down throughout the shift and feel guilty for not being productive. when i clock out i am overcome with exhaustion. i sit in my car for 40 minutes sometimes before i can get myself to drive home. when i get home, i usually spend the rest of the night in bed. i can’t cook, i can’t clean, i can’t hang out with people. i’m too tired.
for years i thought it was because i spent so much time in bed. i didn’t exercise enough. i’m so lazy that i’ve reduced my body’s ability to function. if i was in shape, if i was more active, standing wouldn’t feel so bad. but when i tried to be more active, to exercise, to get out of bed- i caused muscle edema, i experienced asthma, i over stretched muscles & pulled things out of place & made the lightheaded feeling worse. i exhausted myself to the point of being bed-ridden for the rest of the day, or days, enough time to off-set any progress i made from trying to be active. i felt like i caused a problem and messed myself up so badly i wouldn’t be able to fix it. turns out the problem wasn’t my fault after all. i wasn’t lazy, or at least not by choice. i didn’t sit in bed all day and ruin myself, i sat in bed all day because it drained me not to. i have imposter syndrome & guilt.
when i was younger i developed an anxiety disorder. i had panic attacks. it makes sense, it still does, i could feel it in my brain, even if you couldn’t tell on the outside. but then i started to have tremors. and shakiness & excessive sweating & fast heart rate. all the same things that are associated with the physical side of panic attack, but i wasn’t panicking when the physical symptoms started. i started to though, when i realized i couldn’t stop shaking. which came first? the chicken or the egg? the tremors or the anxiety? the POTS or the anxiety disorder?
my hands are almost always cold. my feet are too. sometimes when i go outside in the winter my legs will take on the cold too, and from my foot to my hip my skin will feel eerily cold to the touch, and it will for hours. in the summer i go outside & i feel sick. i feel nauseous & small & exhausted & weak. i can’t be outside for too long without feeling like i’m barely getting myself to function. i don’t go outside very much in the summer.
my stomach is always fucked up. i was diagnosed with IBS at 14 because i had reoccurring excruciating stomach cramps & flare-ups of constipation. i get heart burn and nausea and bloating almost daily. i have stomach aches sometimes that interferes with my ability to stand and do the things i need to do.
it makes sense. all the symptoms make sense. i have almost everything, minus the fainting. i’ve only fainted once. i have risk factors- i’ve had mono, i’ve had covid, i have EDS, im a young female.
but i don’t feel sick enough.
& what if it’s something else? another type of dysautonomia? orthostatic cerebral hypoperfusion syndrome? orthostatic hypotension? MCAS? what if it is just physical deconditioning? something else?
how do i know what i have? all i know is i feel like shit.

when i was younger i developed an anxiety disorder. i had panic attacks. it makes sense, it still does, i could feel it in my brain, even if you couldn’t tell on the outside. but then i started to have tremors. and shakiness & excessive sweating & fast heart rate. all the same things that are associated with the physical side of panic attack, but i wasn’t panicking when the physical symptoms started. i started to though, when i realized i couldn’t stop shaking. which came first? the chicken or the egg? the tremors or the anxiety? the POTS or the anxiety disorder?
my hands are almost always cold. my feet are too. sometimes when i go outside in the winter my legs will take on the cold too, and from my foot to my hip my skin will feel eerily cold to the touch, and it will for hours. in the summer i go outside & i feel sick. i feel nauseous & small & exhausted & weak. i can’t be outside for too long without feeling like i’m barely getting myself to function. i don’t go outside very much in the summer.
my stomach is always fucked up. i was diagnosed with IBS at 14 because i had reoccurring excruciating stomach cramps & flare-ups of constipation. i get heart burn and nausea and bloating almost daily. i have stomach aches sometimes that interferes with my ability to stand and do the things i need to do.
it makes sense. all the symptoms make sense. i have almost everything, minus the fainting. i’ve only fainted once. i have risk factors- i’ve had mono, i’ve had covid, i have EDS, im a young female.
but i don’t feel sick enough.
& what if it’s something else? another type of dysautonomia? orthostatic cerebral hypoperfusion syndrome? orthostatic hypotension? MCAS? what if it is just physical deconditioning? something else?
how do i know what i have? all i know is i feel like shit.
2024.05.16 06:09 overweightpineapplee Am I cooked?
I want something serious and long term. This girl and I have been going out for a little over a month. We’re sleeping together, hanging out multiple times a week. I asked to be exclusive, clarified I wasn’t going to be talking to other girls. She said the same and was into being exclusive.
She tells me about literally everyone in her life. Noticed some notifications from another fella she hadn’t told me about, the last couple of times we’ve been on dates. Called her out on it and she said “I’m trying to get rid of him, I’m only really talking to you”. Also saw her dming dude on insta when I was coming back from bathroom, before hiding the phone.
Feel like I’m on a summer roster (in the starting lineup) but still on a roster no less. Don’t know what to do, can’t tell if she’s into me or just likes going on nice dates. Any thoughts? Do I just ride it out? Not sure I wanna be strung along forever.
Side info: Essentially says she wants to be in serious relationship, super into me when we’re together. Haven’t had a bad date everything is great when we’re out.
Rarely texts at all except planning things when we’re not together, she does plan things to though.
We’re both 23 I’m graduated full time good job, she plans on going to med school.
(I’m a chronic over thinker)

2024.05.16 05:40 Emotional_Syrup5566 Am I trans???
So I'm afab, and for a long time I've been questioning myself. And I low-key need some guidance so I'm just gonna explain how I feel about my gender and I was hoping on getting some help from there. Okay, so I have been ok with traditionally being feminine here and there but I just like the feeling of being masculine and I don't know because one day I'll think I am for sure and I'm all good and then the next day I'll think maybe I'm not and I'm just doing it just because. But even if I was trans I feel as if anything would be feminine it would be bad because if I'm trans any feminine part of me is just there to show that I'm really not trans after all and I've just been lying to myself the whole time. But I feel as if I am nothing at the same time. Idk I'm so confused and I need help.

2024.05.16 04:19 kinkybishh Applied and got a CCA position.
Hi! I'm writing to hopefully get some clarity on this job position before I quit my current job.
Upon fingerprinting, I was handed a single piece of paper and was told this is a part time, non-career position, which MAY lead to full time career position. I was not aware of this when I applied. When I received the call offering me the job, I asked a few questions, including what the above clause meant. She said I can be promoted to full time/career at any point in my first year, but if I'm not, at the end of the year, I must take a mandatory five day period off and be "let back on". What on earth does any of this mean? Is it just a loophole so they don't have to give you benefits/pension?
Separately, can anyone give me a day in the life of a CCA? -just a very brief idea of what it's like? Is there any possibility they may put me at the counter if they're short staffed? or have me do a different job completely because they can? My current job just puts me wherever they need help and it drives me crazy, considering I applied for a SPECIFIC position.
If anyone has any insight on any of this please let me know.
