Good prom slogans

Just Do It.

We've all seen them. Those Nike T-shirts with cryptic sayings in all caps: "GOOD THINGS COME IN THREES". "RE2PECT". "THERE IS NO FINISH LINE". "BEAST DON'T REST". We don't get them. But we sure do love them. This is a place for the parody of those slogans.

2024.06.09 14:03 Ok-Story-9319 MMW: Tr*mp will easily win the election because popular sovereignty has always been a bad idea

Im pretty conservative regarding many social and fiscal issues. Im no RINO like Trump and the rest of MAGA, and I firmly believe in classic American values and democracy. But I mean that when I say “classic.” Popular sovereignty was a bad idea and the electorate should have remained limited and only those who can prove their acuity should be permitted to vote imo. The original constitution limited the electorate to white male landowners. While this was racist and sexist, the general principle was extremely relevant:
only those with a stake in society ought to be allowed to influence the government.
This is just sound principle for running a democracy. Allowing literally every adult to vote is asinine and only enables the demagogue, propagandists, and charlatan because the average adult is no smarter than a brilliant child. Perhaps landownership was far too arbitrary, but literacy or education tests could fill the gap and accomplish the same goal of ensuring that the electorate is, on average, more intelligent than not. It is a shame that Jim Crow racism tainted the poll test because it is truly good policy for a functioning democratic republic. I unironically believe that the same test for US citizenship should be imposed upon those who register to vote.
Most Trump supporters at rallies couldn’t tell you the details about trumps campaign, legal issues, policies agenda, or even his accomplishments in his last administration. They simply parrot Trump’s slogans and cheer when Trump attacks his enemies. There is a reason why Trump polls so well with the lower class and undereducated. Every single founding father would roll in their tomb to see the unrestricted franchise that allows anyone who can mail a letter the ability to influence the fate of the nation.
Due to trumps masterclass in propaganda and populist demagoguery, he will win big in November.
TL;DR: mark my words Trump will win in November because of decades of the mistaken ideology of popular sovereignty.

2024.06.09 07:37 External-Apricot-470 Aiw for Refusing to wear matching dresses with my date to prom

I'm(16f) autistic so I get to go to sped prom. It is so cool and fun. I love it. I have this friend named Maddie. Who I'm going with. We were talking about it. We both agreed that we wanted to be matching and we wanted to wear Pink together. Pink is my color. I look so good and Pink. Maddie wanted us to wear the same dress. The exact same dress. I called Maddie back and say "I don't want to wear the exact same dress". She said "I'm supposed to be your +1 so I have no say". I said we can do the same dress but in different colors. She was like that doesn't make any sense. We went back-and-forth. Until she gave me a ultimatum Either we wear matching dresses or she comes in a suit. I tell her to just come in a suit. She was like expecting that 1.

2024.06.09 07:00 Dazzling-Stick-7980 Seeking Advice for Camping in Townsville

Hi everyone,
Firstly, Thank you all for your help and support in my previous posts. I’ve been learning a lot from this Townsville subreddit, and your advice has been incredibly valuable. You are all very friendly and helpful.
I'm an international student new to Townsville, and I'm planning my first solo camping trip. I recently camped once in Wilsons Prom, Melbourne in a caravan park with experienced colleagues and it was very basic and safe. Now I’m ready to try it on my own. I’m thinking of spending one night camping on Magnetic Island or any beginner friendly places (any recommended caravan parks or camping grounds to build up some confidence for solo camping?).
I would love to hear everything I need to know about camping in Townsville. Here are some specific questions I have:
  1. Best Camping Spots: What are the best places to camp around Townsville and Magnetic Island?
  2. Gear Recommendations: I used a swag last time, but I'm considering buying a 2-person tent that I can also use for future trips. Is this a good idea for a beginner? any easy to set up alternatives? my colleague recommended me to ditch tent and just carry a single stretcher and a mosquito repellent. Unlike Melbourne, I heard there are quite many dangerous snakes here.
  3. Essential Items: What should I absolutely bring with me for a one-night or two camping trip? can I just carry water and buy some food instead taking a camping stove for 1-2 nights camping?
  4. Safety Tips: Any specific safety tips or things to be aware of while camping in this area?
  5. Activities and Must-See Spots: Any recommendations for activities or must-see spots on Magnetic Island or any other places in general?
  6. Also heard snakes are hibernating at the moment and it is recommended to wait few months?
Looking forward to your suggestions and tips!
Thank you.

2024.06.09 03:23 Illustrious-Dog-2894 Am I the asshole for lying to my friend of 6 years?

Hi, I (20F) am new to this scene but I feel like a terrible person and do not know if I can keep lying. My concerns are about lying to my friend Rachel , who I started being friends with Freshman year of high school. Rachel introduced me to a girl named Amy, who I became very close friends with my Junior year when I fell incredibly sick. I won't go into crazy details about my sickness because it was horrible and took a lot from me as a person, but I lost a lot of friends during that time. Looking back, I know it must have been scary for them. We were all young and seeing someone go through that level of pain and physical trauma can't be easy.
Amy and I became best friends during this time. When I finally recovered, it seemed she was almost all I had left though. It did not help that instead of making me think about how others felt, she placed a lot of blame on them and not just for leaving me out. She would tell me about awful things they had said or done to her. One example, a girl (they were close) told her that she was scared of what Amy would do if she stopped being friends with her and she did not want to be in a friendship like that (as in Amy harming herself). At the time I thought the girl was being an asshole, but honestly that is a valid concern when it came to a girl like Amy. I blocked that girl out of my life because it seemed to hurt Amy having her around.
Eventually Amy began dating one of my best friends, lets call him David. I had been friends with David longer than Rachel and Amy, and we were really close. I understood once they began dating I would not have that closeness with either of them, but it was truly bizarre. It was an unhealthy relationship. They broke up. Amy cried for days. David wanted a situation-ship (was upfront), she said sure. She took this as getting back together, but when I talked to him he had no intention of getting back together like they were before and because of the confusion ended that aspect.
A few weeks after the dust had settled, Amy started telling me about horrible things David did but remained incredibly vague. Basically saying she was SA'd. I was taken off guard, but I know most people are when they find something out like this. Around this time Amy began lying to me about random things, where she was, who she was with, what she was doing, which I do not like (I know this seems hypocritical based on the title). I thought maybe she was coping. I was incredibly broken up because my best friend just told me that my other best friend SA'd her. It was not my time to feel pity for myself or be hurt or broken, because she seemed to need someone to stand by her. I didn't process, just dropped him without saying anything.
Around this time she started shit talking Rachel. Saying Rachel was a terrible friend for still hanging out with David and saying that she wanted nothing to do with her. I was a bit frustrated and continuously pointed out that in Rachel's eyes the relationship had ended on good terms. She continued to say these things and the details about what had happened only worsened and became more confusing. I did not want to ask questions and make her relive anything, but eventually I asked "did you say no?". To which she replied, all I wanted to do was make him happy so I felt like I had to or else he would break up with me. Which confused me, because she was not referring to the first actual dating, but the situation-ship (which based solely on still fooling around in David's eyes). I do not doubt that David had more influence over her than he understood, but I felt a huge miscommunication had occurred.
This is where my lying to Rachel begins. She asked if everything between her and Amy was good because she had been distant, and I said yeah of course. I did not want to be the one to say Amy's feelings. We began hanging out and when Rachel would leave, Amy would say how horrible she is for staying friends with David. I also began to have concerns that David may do the same thing to someone else because he seemed completely unaware of any wrong doing. At our after prom I confronted David about it while he was drunk. I took him aside and basically told him off for everything. He seemed incredibly confused. He looked shocked and even started to tear up once he understood what I was saying. After I finished telling him up to figure out his crap before he messes up with someone again, he said he was sorry to for putting me in this position and that he really did not know that was how Amy felt. I went home and cried.
Fast forward a year. I am still torn up about everything. Amy dropped me once I confronted her over things she had said to me - basically a guy was harassing me and she was dating his best friend and when I would talk about it she would say "well guys are just like that", when I would point out her boyfriend was not like that she said "ARE YOU SAYING NOT ALL MEN?", which does not even make fricking sense. Her boyfriend also laughed at me when I said I needed to go home (my hips dislocated part of the illness) and I needed someone to drive me. She defended both basically saying "what do you expect, they are guys that is what they do", which hurt me a lot.
After six months away from Amy, I thought a lot about everything and I decided to ask David if he remember anything. He said he had and that he had thought a lot about it and moving forward made sure that everything was alright with everyone like without room for miscommunication of any means. We met up because well he had been my best friend and I really needed to tell him how I felt. I cried and told him he had really f*cked up our friendship, he said he was sorry and wished things hadn't gone the way they had. He expressed how he never thought that he would do something like that and was confused what had happened.
Its now been around another year, David and I are friends again. However, I think Amy told Rachel because now Rachel hates him. I am now lying to Rachel (who over the years I stayed friends with through thick and thin) about being friends with him. I do not want to ruin my friendship with her, but I feel awful like I am ignoring what maybe happened to Amy (which I want to say I believe, but I just can't because she lied about so much to me to get me on her side in other situations). David and I are on good terms, he knows Rachel does not know we are friends. I do not like keeping secrets and do not know how to feel. Also, a lot more happened that I am leaving out for the sake of keeping it short. But I had a really close family member die and Amy did abandon me in that time in favor of hanging out with her boyfriend and the guy that was harassing me. (Also during a psych appointment - monitoring mental health during times of chronic pain because suicidal ideation is common - he called 7 times and left a message which I listened to after where he said "Fuck you, you bitch" and then laughed and I heard Amy's voice in the background laughing).
Am I the Asshole for lying to Rachel about something this big and given everything that happened? What should I do?
Edit: I forgot to write Am I The Asshole as AITH

2024.06.09 01:19 Throwawayacount727 Saw my ex twice in a row and he doesn't look well

Sorry for the semi-long post but I got dumped by middle school sweetheart last summer right before graduation and after prom. It was a pretty traumatizing break up as I also had two deaths that recently happened and it was just a really messy break up since he wasn't being honest with me and I found out I was pregnant 3 weeks after (I wasn't planning to keep the baby but I ended up miscarriaging). I never told him because I found out he was in a relationship after we broke up and didn't want to ruin it.
We didn't work out for a lot of reasons but the main reason was because I wasn't too comfortable dating a smoker as I had near death experience due to covid making my lungs fragile and him falling out of love due to the constant arguments about it and also feeling neglected emotionally when I tried to communicate with him. I loved him so much even helped him get into college. While I no longer love him romantically and i am now in a wonderful relationship, I still have love for him as a friend and care but we have been no contact because my friends advised me it would be best since he was really cold and cruel to me afterwards.
Recently, I walked past him on my way exploring an area with my friends the first time. I ran away because it gave me ptsd but I noticed he looked different. The second time, I went back to the area because I found a store that I thought my partner and best friends would like. I saw him again sitting in front and he has lost a scary amount of weight and when I looked at him there was no light in his eye. He told me he wished me the best and I freaked out and rambled then ran away with my partner. I would like to reach out to check up on him but last text I sent was just an apology because i meant to send a text to his mom. He only read it. I'm not really sure if it's a good idea.

The venting is tough but good. I hate how stupid it feels but you get over it and feel some kind of relief. I also hate if it sounds dramatic at all. That’s life. I saw Greg today. If I could tell Valerie I would say, see Greg. You don’t realize it rn but visit Tio. Really gurl porfa. Anyway, this morning I listened to oldies. Patsy Cline started it all (of course). Not a bad way to start the day. I ended up shaving my 💪 to Be my Baby and that was kinda amazing 🙊 I felt like getting ready for prom in the 60s fr. So good. The whole thing made me feel a lil better. Hope you are doing fine~~

2024.06.08 22:43 Cheesypower Building Helping Hands

I became obsessed with the idea of charity groups arriving on Irvrana and helping the Bissem with various things that don't necessarily show up in the big picture- so you know what? I decided to do it myself. Enjoy!
When the news came of aliens being real, it had been a shock- how could anyone in Irvana have seen such an audacious announcement being made by the government? Yet as the news was streamed as these strange beings from the stars appeared before a gathered crowd of reporters, all three of them as different from each other as they were from the Bissem, it was impossible to refute the claims as being some sort of hoax.
For those like Director Guinelle, however, the news was... perhaps less impactful than it was for others- an exciting oddity, to be sure, but the main relevance it had for her life was that it was an effective way of keeping her patients occupied. The children in particular were enamored with the news, fascinated by the sight of such alien beings, chattering amongst both themselves and their caretakers about countless questions, observations, and hopes they held regarding these enigmatic visitors who claimed good intentions.
It made guiding them through physical therapy all the easier- talk of the tall alien with no feathers or fur a ready distraction from movements needed to compensate for a missing flipper or foot. Pain that would have been an obstacle they needed to be pushed through faded with the distraction of the way the quietest alien was covered in quills and barbs- how did one function normally with so many weapons hanging from their back?
Even the adult patients welcomed the distraction- the melancholy of lost mobility and crushed dreams buried under theorizing about what the aliens might actually want, or griping about them being an affront to the gods- though thankfully the crowd of protestors who believed the same about their prosthetics seemed to have found a new target for their demonstrations, appearing outside of public courthouses and official government buildings instead of harassing her doctors and patients with insults and screaming declarations of them stripping their patients of their bissemity and replacing it with metal and machinery.
Their prosthetics didn't even use metal- too prone to rust, and weighed down too much! What limited mobility they could manage to provide for their patients required much lighter plastics and alloys be used!
Anyways, news of aliens quickly faded from her attention as she focused on her work as usual- signing documents, trying her best to continue sweet-talking the groups her hospital relied on for funding, doing her best to remain civil in the face of complaints of money being "wasted" when replacing missing limbs was a fantasy, reviewing potential new patients whenever they came up or got through the paperwork of appealing for a place in her halls, coordinating between the research teams who tried to find new solutions to improve their prosthetics and the doctors who would need to actually implement such changes and make sure they worked for the patient... The work was never-ending, and not well suited to indulging in distractions, even ones as big as Aliens actually existing!
So her current circumstances, sitting nervously inside of an official Lassmin limo speeding through the city streets, escorted by armed guards sat to either side her, with no explanation beyond the statement they'd given when they burst into her office and 'invited' her down to a meeting with a representative from those aliens? Well, it wasn't exactly something she'd been scheduling in advance!
Nervously combing her feathers back into place and ensuring they were evenly coated in just enough oil to give herself a healthy sheen, Guinelle straightened her posture and practiced her best business-deal resting expression as the column of vehicles pulled into the central government building's parking lot. She might not know what the aliens wanted with a specialty hospital director- one of her more 'inventive' patients would probably suggest that she was simply deemed an acceptable sacrifice by her own government. She did her best to quiet that annoyingly intrusive though as she was waddled through the halls, past onlooking groups of bissem turning from whatever they were doing to see what the commotion was about.
"Ah, the woman of the hour!" The mayor's perfect politician tone was a welcome distraction- even if it couldn't completely hide the slight nervous tremor to his words. The vritalian male's more modest stature was ever so slightly raised- he preferred to wear claw-boosters, saying the added height granted him a natural air of authority. Right now though, his demeanor was that of someone who thought they were in trouble but didn't know why- a flipper idly tugging at the ceremonial garnet of office around his neck. "Quite the unexpected series of events, isn't this? Why, aliens within our city- and apparently with a deal to offer! The tabloids ought to have a field day with this once it's announced!"
"That is... an unexpected surprise, indeed!" she slipped into her practiced 'meeting with investors' speaking patterns with ease, giving a socially-acceptable head-bob of polite agreement. "Though, I haven't exactly had it explained why such a... momentous moment requires my own presence? My facility isn't the most prominent industry within the city..."
"Nonsense! Your hospital and it's research are a prize of the city- a statement of our commitment to bettering the lives of our people, even the ones struck with the most unfortunate of circumstances!" The mayor gushed words filled with positivity but little substance- especially when she remembered the last time they had met regarding certain financial grants for their continued operation. "In fact, the aliens seem to have caught notice of your valiant mission, and are interested in cooperation in the pursuit of shared goals, in order to reach a better tomorrow with joined flippers- er, whatever they have! I for one, have no doubt that their contributions will be valued and most beneficial for us all!"
...Those were a lot of words for him to essentially say that he was missing a lot of details too and didn't actually know why the aliens had taken an interest in her facility, but then that was the way of most politicians- fill the conversation with enough noise, and people would focus on the feelings of the statements made rather than the actual substance. Fortunately, she'd long since learned to navigate such methods of obfuscation, though knowing that he was also unaware of their purpose here made that twisting in her gut just a bit more intense.
Thankfully, her worries were temporarily pushed to the side as they were waved into a conference room, where a Selmer was already seated and waiting for them. The trappings draped across her shoulders were adorned with several metals, denoting her as a military officer- though Guinelle wasn't familiar enough with their system of rankings to know exactly how high she must be in the chain of command. The officer looked between the two of them as they moved to take their seats, and nodded in satisfaction as the doors were closed behind them.
"Thank you both for attending so promptly- this situation is rather unprecedented, so there was no time to explain in... unsecured environments. I apologize for any stress that caused you, but we need to move quickly in order to take advantage of this opportunity."
"That's perfectly understandable, ma'am!" the mayor gushed before Guinelle could finish opening her beak- leaving her to carefully close it again as he began to prattle once more. "Time is a resource we never have enough of, especially when it comes to matters of supreme import! Why-"
"As I said," The officer interrupted coolly, "time is of the essence here, so forgive me if I insist on skipping the pleasantries in favor of briefing you both on the situation. That is," she looked directly down at the mayor, his boosters not even close to making up for their natural height difference, "assuming that is agreeable to you, sir mayor?" It did not sound like a question.
Guinelle watched him start to look offended, before settling his expression and leaning back in his seat. "I suppose explanations would be prudent, given the... urgency with which we were summoned."
"Great." Picking up a folder and tapping it on the table, the officer glanced between the two of them and clacked her beak. "The short of it is, we've been approached by an internal group within the aliens- not their government, but some sort of charity organization- which has expressed interest in beginning operations within our nation. Having reviewed the nature of the offer, the government believes this would be a boon worth accepting, should we find someplace willing to accept them. Your facility, Director Guinelle, is a fit for the parameters they requested, and thus we would ask for you to consider their offer, should you choose to hear them out- and for you, sir mayor, to approve of their operations being set up within your city."
"My facility?" Guinelle questioned. "They were interested in our facility above all others? Forgive me, but... we are quite specialized in our purview, and not nearly as advanced as some of the other hospitals even within this city. Is there a reason we were of particular interest to them, miss...?"
"General Kippar," the Selmer clarified, "and it's your specialization that is of interest to them, director. They are offering to provide their own knowledge of the design and production of prosthetic limb technology, and believe your facility would be the best starting point for integrating their advancements with our own efforts- and for what it is worth, we hold that same belief. Your advancements in the field are beyond what anyone else has accomplished, so it is our hope that you will have an easier time adapting whatever they provide for our own use. Though, I hope it is understood that the government is going to wish to receive access to any of the technology they are able to provide."
"That..." pausing for a moment, she thought over what she had just been told- the heady giddiness of potential access to that kind of resources and knowledge temporarily pushed aside as best she could manage in the face of a request for a commitment. "...the information I would be perfectly fine with sharing- we may even produce some official medical journals to release it to the general healthcare community. For hardware though, we cannot offer anything already assigned to a patient, as it would be their property at that point. Perhaps providing working examples unspoken for by a patient yet?"
"Seems reasonable enough," the general nodded crisply. "Though perhaps we should let this alien make their sales-pitch first, before we start counting the fish in our net. If the two of you are ready?" Guinelle nodded eagerly, and the mayor nodded as well- though he seemed to be pouting about being excluded from their previous conversation. Ignoring his ill mood, the general turned to one of the guards and waved a flipper at him, getting a salute in return as he left the room.
Guinelle fluffed her feathers in her seat, the mayor striking up a conversation about permits and such barely registering to her as she grappled with the thought of what was being offered. Alien medical technology, likely beyond anything her people had managed so far- how much would that push their own progress ahead? Had they figured out waterproofing of the joints? Were their prosthetics capable of powered articulation? The best prototypes her own people had managed so far was a replacement leg that provided a steady base and enough flexibility for the patient to walk without needing a cane, even if the battery life of it wasn't great. Just having more advanced batteries would do wonders for giving their patients something so they could move under their own power! She might need to hear this alien out before hashing out the details, but at face value, there was no way should was going to refuse this offer!
Her internal thoughts were interrupted by the door opening, and one of the tall, lanky aliens striding through. Their long limbs bending and swaying as they moved around was fascinating to observe- so different from the normal sway of a bissem's walk, this alien barely shifted to either side at all as they moved! Their unfortunately-bare face brightened as she (was it a she? Their body was different from the male that had been on the videos from first contact) laid eyes on them all, lips pulled apart in a baring of teeth as she pulled alongside the table, pulling out a seat and setting a rectangular carrying box of some sort down beside her.
Her lips began moving, releasing a series of guttural noises from her throat, before a device affixed to her chest crackled to life. "Greetings and good day," the device spoke in perfectly-understandable speech- even bearing a similar tone to the alien's voice! "My name is Lucillia, and on behalf of the Daedalus Initiative, I would like to thank you all for hearing me out and giving us a chance to bring our work to you. While our races have only been in contact for a short time, it is a great pleasure to be working with you towards our mutual mission of ensuring everyone has a chance to live Life Without Limits."
Not speaking their language herself? That made sense- not everyone could learn a new language quickly- especially if it crossed the species barrier. Thank goodness they seemed to have figured out machines that could translate in real-time for them- otherwise this conversation would be much more awkward to parse through.
"That is my hope as well," Guinelle chimed in quickly, noting how the last bit sounded like a practiced slogan. "I'm Director Guinelle, and I run the Prow-Wave Prosthetic Institute, and I'm very interested in getting my flippers on whatever innovations you can offer us to help our patients return to a normal life. I am glad your government chose our facility for the first site to introduce this technology- we'll be sure to get to work right away finding how to adapt any advancements to our own work on limb-replacement."
Whatever response she was expecting, the tall alien tilting her head back and barking out a laugh was certainly not it. "Oh, I am not here on behalf of the UN, my dear- Daedalus Initiative is a non-profit organization dedicated to relief efforts and providing medical care to those who either don't have access or can't afford the care and resources that they need. If it was up to the UN, this meeting wouldn't be happening, and you wouldn't be seeing hide or hair of this technology for months, much less getting started on it." She gestured energetically with one of her long limbs, the spindly fingers of her hand twitching in a deliberate eye-catching way. "However, I hope you'll agree that spending several months refusing children and patients medical care while politicians play their little games doesn't exactly sit well with me."
"Such games are not without reason, miss Lucillia," the mayor spoke up, sitting up in a professional posture. "While I am willing to accommodate your efforts here, I now find myself worrying if we are causing a diplomatic incident allowing you to set up a facility in my city."
"If we were setting up a facility, then we WOULD be in trouble," she answered quickly, pointing an index finger at the mayor while her thumb was held skyward- some sort of human gesture? "After all, they don't want anybody contaminating culture, especially with a new uplift, and telling them we just want to help people who've already lost limbs doesn't really seem to work. However," her finger swung around to point at Guinelle, "if an EXISTING facility were to request the Daedalus Initiative provide aid, then the SC's charters on charities and relief workers would leave us free to provide as much aid as possible, so long as it is confined to within that existing facility!"
Blinking at the energetic display, Guinelle crossed her flippers in front of her beak, considering the boisterous human as a few missing pieces clicked into place. "Well, that certainly sounds like it would be beneficial for your organization- if such a request was to be made, could you give us some examples of what might be offered to us? I can't imagine you already have prosthetics ready-made for bissem just yet."
"Well, not specifically, but we do have something that should be easy to adjust to the required specifications!" Reaching down into her case, the human pulled out a technological pad, then started fiddling with it as images popped up and scrolled along the screen- what a marvelous piece of technology that would be! Just imagine how much paperwork such a device might be able to replace! "See, we have a species back on Earth called penguins- technically several species, but I digress- and conservation efforts did end up designing some prosthetic flippers for a few members who had lost them due to either predators or human shipping. Obviously adjustments will need to be made, seeing as it's not a perfect comparison- for one thing, your flippers are far more dexterous than a penguin's would be- but I think you can see that the base design is a promising starting point!"
The human slid her dataslate over, and Guinelle picked it up, examining the blueprints she was being shown... and slowly felt her beak falling open at what she was seeing. This... this was something at a level that her engineers thought would be decades away at minimum- full articulation, no cables in need of being plugged in, no external batteries- was that a direct connection to the patient's nervous system?! Did these aliens have that kind of medical technology in such abundance that even charity workers could provide it?! While she was right that this wasn't the full dexterity of a natural bissem flipper, this was still leagues beyond the best tech she could provide to those with deep enough pockets for it- and she was considering this a base model?!
"H-how much are these going to cost us again?" she questioned weakly, the tablet clattering back down onto the table. "Our budget... while we have a decent fund for research and development, this kind of tech..."
"That's the beauty of it! We're a non-profit- and most of our funds come from donations anyways! For this project, we've already arranged the necessary funding in advance- none of this will cost you a dime! Or, whatever currency you use."
"That is... quite generous," The mayor interrupted, tapping the table with a flipper, "though you'll forgive me for asking... are theoreticals all you have to offer? While this all sounds very nice, it's good to have confirmation you can deliver the product offered- or at least something similar, to show you have the capability. That's only fair, yes?"
Something devious sparked to life in the human's eyes. "Oh, that's no trouble at all- I even brought along an example of the product we offer! This model is one I can personally vouch for!"
And with that, she reached up her sleeve, shifting something around... and then pulled her own arm off, setting it down on the table with a thunk- one drowned out by the mayor's terrified shriek as he pushed away from the table, flippers flapping at the air as his chair slowly tipped backwards and crashed into the ground, spilling his flailing form onto the floor.
Guinelle barely managed to keep her own chair balanced, flippers held to her beak as she stared at the detached limb- before jerking her gaze towards the grinning human, who seemed disturbingly nonchalant about being reduced to a single arm. Thankfully, it didn't take too long for her brain to kick back into gear, slowly clicking information into place as she noted the lack of blood, or disturbance, and the fact that she had been asked to present a working model...
"I-I didn't even notice," she stammered, eyes flicking back to the prosthetic on the table. She could see the metallic sheen at the end, with some obvious connectors sticking out... but the rest of the limb looked almost indistinguishable from the human's other limb, which she had blatantly laid on the table for comparison. Gingerly, Guinelle reached out and poked at the smaller digits of the limb, feeling not heavy iron, but some kind of soft, firm material- and the fingers flexing closed with barely any pressure from her touch.
So many tiny joints, so close together, and they'd all been working perfectly- no external power source that she could see, either on the limb or on the human. The way she'd been able to detach it so easily, without any obvious pain. Picking it up, it was surprisingly heavy- a soft material that felt so much like normal skin, so unlike the harsh firmness of their own plastic limbs that she couldn't help but run her flipper along it, marveling at how it gave and flexed so similarly to the real thing. There were differences, now that she looked at it up close- bits that were a bit too angular to be natural, strange spots of firmness where there shouldn't be- but the fact she had to focus to find them, even this close up...
"Pretty good work, right?" the human spoke up, a tinge of pride in her voice- even as the device on her chest clearly began to struggle with the speed at which she began talking, giving a strange echo between her natural speech and the translation. "Not as good as the original obviously, but that model's served me well for about fifteen years now- and it's a decent upgrade from the first one I got fitted with after, well... unfortunate events at my old position." Sitting back up, Lucillia patted at her empty shoulder proudly. "So as you can see, I've got a personal stake in making sure all the prosthetics we provide are the best they can possibly be!"
With shaking flippers, Guinelle pushed the limb back across the table to her. "W-would you mind putting this back on?"
With a knowing smile, the human rolled up her sleeve, exposing an obvious technological port right where her shoulder should be- and with a bit of shuffling, lined up the connectors and pushed it into place, the limb locking in with a solid-sounding click. Dexterous fingers flicked up a panel and pushed a few buttons, then flicked it close as a tiny light came on. Rolling her sleeve back down, the human rolled her reattached arm, making a show of flexing her fingers in sequence before grasping and spreading her entire hand.
"No stutter, no lag, just got to make sure the connection is seated properly, lock it in, and turn it on! Battery lasts for about six hours, and the charging plug is discreet and can fit into any typical electrical port. No pain when it's disconnected either- you basically turn off your connections to the nerves, and it feels more like the arm has gone numb- a bit trippy for the first few months, but certainly better than some alternatives!"
Guinelle felt her chair wobbling beneath her, and chose to simply abandon it, ignoring the clatter as she climbed onto the table and waddled over as fast as she could, eagerly extending a flipper towards the human. "As Director of the Prow-Wave Prosthetics Institute, I am requesting the Daedalus Initiative's aid as quickly as possible. Just tell me what you need from me- anything it takes to get this tech available to my patients as soon as we can!"
"Well, of course there are papers to be signed and filed," Lucillia grinned, the grip of her prosthetic warm and soft as she gripped Guinelle's flipper and shook it, "but once we take care of that, we'll have a ship flying in by the end of the week. I look forward to working with you, Director Guinelle."
"Likewise, Director Lucillia," she beamed, fluffing her feathers in joy. This kind of miracle-tech was going to help so many Bissems!

2024.06.08 21:53 bappoooo I (18M) have been talking to a girl(17F) online

Hi, so quick bit of context: I graduated from my school last year and am now a first year in college. Recently, I noticed this girl that I followed on Instagram from the year below me. She was in year 11 when I was in year 12. Anyways, I always noticed her liking memes or videos that I found funny, and then I liked them too. Then, one random day, I see she added me to her close friends on Instagram. She posted a picture of herself; I thought she was pretty, so I liked it and added her to my close friends in return.
We went back and forth for a while liking each other’s stories (I never post pictures of myself, just memes), and then I saw an Instagram reel that basically said, “I don’t care if I know you or don’t know you; if I think you look good in a picture, I will like your story.” I reposted that reel because I related to it, and she liked my repost. At that point, I decided to make a move, like literally anything to start talking to her. So, I sent her a reel I thought she’d find funny and thought to myself if she was going to be a bit rude about it, I’d just play it off and say I sent it accidentally. But it was quite the opposite. We started sharing reels and sending voice notes to each other.
Anyways, I told one of my friends about her, and he got really mad at me saying, “You can’t just keep texting her; you have to call her.” So, I told him I’m too shy. He then took my phone and Instagram audio-called her for me. He basically told me to tell her that my phone was about to die and for her to send me her number so I could call her later. And somehow it actually worked. She gave me her number, and we have been calling every day for a while now. I somehow managed to gather up the courage to ask her to go prom dress shopping with me, so we’re going to set up a date after I finish my finals.
Now you all may be wondering, “If everything is going so swimmingly, why are you putting up this Reddit post?” Well, here’s the thing: I have three main questions.
  1. I’ve been trying to steer the conversation away from school and our old teachers because that’s all we’ve really been talking about, and I want to get to know HER better. I feel so awkward when I’m calling her; it’s like I forget all my social skills. 😭😭
  2. HOW DO I KNOW IF SHE LIKES ME BACK? SHE’S BEEN GIVING ME SOME SERIOUS MIXED SIGNALS, AND I DON’T KNOW IF SHE TREATS ALL GUYS THAT WAY OR IF I’M SPECIAL?
3.any tips for the date???(this is like my second or third date ever so I’m basically going in blind)

Massry Center for the Arts building at The College of Saint Rose in Albany, N.Y. is one of the unusual buildings that the authority might keep open as a performing arts venue.
Lori Van Buren/Times Union
ALBANY — The state Legislature has authorized the creation of an authority that could take over the sale of The College of Saint Rose campus.
The Senate passed the act Tuesday and the Assembly passed it later Friday.
Connect and Discover Sale: 25¢.
ACT NOW The Albany County Pine Hills Land Authority could issue up to $80 million in bonds to acquire the former college campus and then maintain it while developing a plan for its uses.

ADVERTISEMENTSCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT “The preservation and safeguarding of facilities at risk of being underutilized and becoming blighted is a matter of vital importance,” the sponsors wrote in the bill.
It will require coordinated operation to ensure the Pine Hills neighborhood does not wind up with dozens of vacant or underused buildings, the bill said.
The campus includes about 90 buildings in along Western and Madison avenues in the heart of Albany. Saint Rose had once operated with 22 buildings there. But from 1999 to 2015, the college trustees tripled the size of the campus, purchasing nearly every building in an effort to create an urban campus.
It was expensive: The college spent more than $12 million to buy the properties and $100 million to renovate and build new facilities on that land. Before that work was completed, in 2014 the college reported on its IRS forms that it was operating at a loss. From that point, there were only two years in which the college was in the black as it struggled to pay back more than $48 million in debt while enrollment rapidly declined.

On Nov. 30, the trustees voted to close it at the end of the school year.
That led to immediate crises for students and employees. But now that the school’s work is winding down, officials are focusing on the long-term problem: what to do when several blocks in the middle of the city are vacant this summer.
The bill suggests that parts of the campus that would be hard to reuse — such as the Massry Center for the Arts performing hall — should be kept as they are now.
“The economic well-being of the county and the general welfare of its people require adequate and accessible performing arts centers, athletic fields, educational facilities and residential facilities,” the sponsors wrote in the bill.

The goal of the authority would be to “stimulate and promote a health economy” through developing a plan to reuse the buildings.
The authority would be made up of seven appointed members: four chosen by the Albany County executive, two by the Albany County Legislature’s chair and one by the Albany mayor.
The authority would repay the bond from revenue related to selling or reusing the buildings.

It’s not clear how much the college owes and would need to sell its properties but it refinanced $48 million in debt in 2021. As collateral it used much of the campus, which was assessed at $78 million at the time.

2024.06.08 20:31 paulykie How to deal with FOMO?

Hi. I recently graduated high school, and right off the bat I’ll just say my school life wasn’t all that great. Sure there were good moments and I made life-long friends, but it took a long time to get to that.
It was during grade school and middle school where I developed a bad case of fomo. I admit, I wasn’t the most socially aware at the time, so making friends was hard for me. I was the person who never had someone to partner with for group works. Middle school, I managed to join a friend group, but the leader was (still) a sociopathic toxic bitch who made sure to exclude me as much as possible.
I ultimately grew and changed as a person, and still strive to improve myself to be better around. But I still have a base case of fomo, I guess I never really grew out of it, and the trauma of being excluded and picked last still stuck with me.
Like today. It’s the senior prom and I decided to not go because a) my friends didn’t go b) it was expensive as shit.
But I see my class post pictures, and it looked so fun. They’re even drunk texting each other in the class group chat rn. I feel a little sad and regret not going, but I know deep down it’s okay to miss out on stuff and not force yourself to go. Any advice how to get over fomo?
TLDR; Traumatic stuff happened in grade and middle school and now I’m scared of being excluded.
