Trigger warning : Heavy Suicide Theme

As Dr James walks to the rooms, he takes one deep breath. “Good morning Rudy, how was your sleep last night ?” he said from near the opened door. Rudy sight is now directed toward the incoming voice from the door. He sees one man in white robe holding a tablet accompanied by male nurse in his back*. Ah, here come the doctor’s.*
“I don’t want to talk with you, I just want to be gone from this world”, followed by shrieks from the patient. “I don’t have any reason to live, please let me goo”, *useless me can’t even finish the job*. The sentence is followed by a loud growl from Rudy as he tries to escape the bed restraints put on him.
The doctor was taken aback by such a strong reaction, Rudy can see that doctor James' face changes from a slight smile to what he assumes is the doctor's thinking face. “Aah I know !! Jamal, can you watch Mr Rudy for me? I have to take something from the outside” as James voice breaks the awkward silence that hangs in the room. Rudy is confused by the doctor's reaction.
Doctor James leaves the room as is, *no one wants to help me anyway*. Rudy could not help but to feel disappointment at the doctor as he went out, doesn’t matter my time here is short anyway. The room is filled again with silent awkwardness as the black nurse just stood in the door watching Rudy every moment. His brilliant brown eyes looking sharply at him, he felt nervous, *please let me go* .
After what felt like eternity the doctor came back to the room with one bag in his hand and laptop in another, *looks like a new model from zeon*. “Is that zeon zenith 12? “ his mouth bluntly said, *wait, noo?!!*. Dr James stopped by his bedside, looking a little bit surprised and quickly nodded “Yes, this is zeon zenith 12, are you a tech enthusiast ?”. Rudy did not answer, he gazed away from the doctor. “Well, looks like you know some tech update for the very least”.
Scrieeek……….. . “Ach…!!” Rudy covered his ear as the sound of metal chair scraping the floor ring aloud. “Ooh sorry Rudy, I did not know you’re sensitive to loud noises, i’ll be careful next time ” as doctor James stops the chair movement. Rudy stays silent, as Dr James takes a seat on a chair beside his bed. “So I know you don’t want to talk to me about your problem right now” James then grabbed the food table, “So instead why don’t we just watch some cute cat video i curated for this”.
Rudy turn his head back to James again this time confused looks clearly drawn in his face, is*n’t his job try to talk me out of suicide?*. “You want to talk about your problem now?” Rudy then looks away again from the doctor “Yeah I thought so. So why don’t we just watch this video and for a moment forget everything about the problem and just watch the video ?” Rudy did not turn his gazes, *how could i forget it if only bad things happened to my life?.*
His face began to puff up as he held back tears, “Alright if you don’t want to, I’ll watch it myself”. Meowing can be heard from his back, wait he seriously does it ?!. Rudy turn back his gaze toward the doctors with a slightly furious face, he looks focused on the video that played from his laptop. As doctor James looks back at him “want to watch ?” Rudy once again threw his gazes away. “Alright ” bruk.., the sound of the heavy laptop being placed in the food table and the sound of meowing continue. Rudy tried to look away still, but the cute voice made him curious, and feel awed. He finally looks at the video playing, he looks at the laptop intentley, almost like a child watching their favorite cartoons.
Rudy for this moment in time and space, he forget his problems, his shitty work at john’s pizza, his loud and inconsiderate upstair neighbor, his neighborhood that is brimming with trash and the gunshot he hears every night, his nonexistent love life, his friend who left him after uni, his grade from uni and highschool, his parents, and his past. For this moment he lives in the present, not overthinking about the past or the future.
They watch the video, both attentive in their own way, transfixed to the screen like a moth to a lamp. Through dozens of cute cat compilation videos they watch together, his face begins to relax from constant fury and agony to a more neutral tone. Then finally without realizing it he, smiled a little.
Chee-klick, a bright flash hit him. His arms reflectively move to cover his face but can’t because of the arm restrained to his bed. “Hey, why are you take a photo of me without **my permission !!!**”. “Oh I’m sorry for that, I just saw you smiling while watching the video so I need to take that” James explained. “I smile ??” Rudy asked as he felt dumbfounded by the word. “Mhemmm, here’s take a look “ Dr james then flip his phone and let Rudy take a look at his screen.
*I smile, does that mean i don’t want to die, no no no that can’t be right i want to die i can’t feel happiness anymore, if life is not happy then, then…..* . “Ah you know looking at it again you smile looks beautiful so I hope i can see more of your smile” Dr James said with a big smile on his face.
Now that Rudy takes a look at his face, he sees it now, his face. His bright eyes that are colored like sapphire, his blonde hair looks like it was made from gold, his face is soft but unmistakable masculine quality, his dark green shirt underneath his white robe. From his broken mind he sees a hope in the form of what seems like an angel to him. *He is… handsome*. His tan cheek is now adorned with light pink.
“Well that is one of the reasons, the other one is I need to make a report to Stephen charities that finance your stay in here”, *ah well that makes more sense*. His face gets back to a neutral tone. “Well, if you want to remove the photo, I can make an ex…”, “No, just give them the photo I can’t pay with my saving, and my insurance will probably not give the money” Rudy said with a stern voice, his face followed similarly but James can notice a hint of Sadness in there.
“With your consent, oh and also our session must end here i’m afraid, i have another appointment scheduled ” As dr James looked at his tablet that he brought from the beginning. “Don’t worry we have another session tomorrow” dr james put the tablet in the bag and shutting down his laptop. “Tomorrow our session will start at 8.30 am and end at 10.30 am so about 30 minutes off from today”. Dr James, who has already finished picking up his stuff then looks at Rudy, “So I hope you look forward to our session tomorrow”.
“Wait doctor James”James stops on his way to the door as he hears his patient call. ” I look forward to it too, and and thank you for today!” Rudy said as he shut his eyes out of embarrassment. “Yeah, your welcome, see you tomorrow Mr Rudy” unbeknownst to Rudy who still closed his eyes, James is smiling now just a little and more genuine.
“Come on Jamal , let’s go” creek.. The sound of the closing door allows Rudy to open his eyes again. Rudy began to process what just happened in his first season, “Is it that easy to actually made me not commit?, do I still have the will to live or does he give it to me?,”, and the last thought made him flustered “did i get charmed by him ?”.
As he overthink his head began to hurt “Stupid Rudy, very stupid"he muttered to himselt. "Well, if I survive and become a burden, I will make sure he take for his responsibility in this”
Hello everyone, i hope you enjoy this short story. The idea come to me after reading a lot of HFY that put emphasis on human physical traits. I feel like there is a need of hfy stories that focused on what i think the most impressive part of human Humanity and our bonds. I'm also intrigued by the idea of HFY story that is based on modern 21st century without no magic or alien, i feel like we human are already impressive now without any exageration of circumtances or another species to be compared too.
I'm gonna remind you all that our path to get here is literally unique and very impressive, and even without sci-fi tech we already have control of this earth akin to God. And even though our future is fraught with uncertainty, the odds are with us. Our form maybe flawed, but so does this universe so let us reach the infinite together !!.

So, our neighbour (23F) is an absolute NIGHTMARE- we got on at first but once the following situation happened, she turned volatile and unhinged. “Jane” is a single mother with a 5-year-old & a 4-month-old. It’s just our two houses connected and our front gardens are connected with no fence/wall boundary. Important to note she has family and friends very locally that come round a lot.
So, a few months into living here, my partner (29M) and I (24F) go to tidy our front garden and notice there’s loads of cigarette ends. Neither of us smoke and neither does Jane but we have seen the mum (visits a lot) smoke out the front of the house a lot and usually has a cup used as an ashtray. We assume she’s thrown them on the floor or the cup has knocked over and the wind has blown them into our garden- annoying but no biggie. We look closer and there are A LOT of cigarette ends, not just a few so I politely text Jane informing her of the situation and ask if she can come and clear them up as there are quite a lot. She replied bluntly saying they aren’t hers. I replied I know she doesn’t smoke but we know her mum does and say again I know it was probably the wind blowing them but there are quite a lot so can she come clear them. She says her mum doesn’t smoke out the front- only the back, I say we have seen her out the front smoking, she then says her mum puts them down the drain (illegal where we are). I replied saying can you please just come sort them out and she never replies. We don’t put a time limit on it but we leave it a week and no-one comes to clear them up. We contact our local council about them (in case it happens again) and they said take pictures, bag them and count them and then return them to Jane. So that’s what we do…
42 CIGARETTE ENDS!! My partner (I’m disabled) goes outside to clear them up after a week. I was stood near him and about halfway through Jane leaves the house with a guy & the pram and they both stopped, stared at us and then just walked off. When we’d finished, taken pictures etc. we wrote on the bag “42 cigarette ends”, sealed it (Ziploc bag) and threw it over the back garden fence into their garden. A few hours later she comes home and finds them, takes a picture and messages me saying “Thanks for throwing these in my garden knowing I have children”. I then pointed out that they were in a sealed bag and that originally, they were all loose in her own garden where her child could have picked them up, eaten them etc. and I asked her a week ago to pick them up.
For additional context, Jane has always been abusive to her kids (we’ve heard and seen a lot) and we were constantly contacting CPS and all sorts so her saying we don’t care about her kids is a joke because we cared more than her (I don’t know if Reddit will let me say what she’s screamed at them). I also have enough drama from this neighbour I could write a GD book!!
So Reddit, AITAH??

Edit: DO NOT message me a simple hi or hello, with no information about you, Put some effort in to your message like i have, come on. Day+Attempt#189
Hello everyone, Thank you for taking the time to read, I know its long, I know - I know. But its worth the read, Trust me. I appreciate you immensely.
Here's a bit about me,
My name is Jay, I live on the East coast of the US. I'm looking for love - like everyone else on here.., but you may not believe or even be doubtful that I've never had a GF before with me being 26, but its true. I'm simply just not willing to "be with" just anyone and I'm very picky. I want us to be a match, more than just have similar things in common.
One thing I have always been told is that I'm a "Real Catch, I'd be extremely lucky to have someone like you" - WELL THEN TAKE ME. I'M FREE. LOL.
About me:
Physically -
~I'm a semi-tall guy, around 5'10.
~I'm thin but muscular.
~I have dirty blonde/ brown hair.
~Changing colored eyes.
~A voice nice enough to melt all your safeguards and get right into your heart and weak spots.
~I do not have any tattoos or piercings. Though I would like to get some eventually.
If you'd like to see a picture of me just ask and I'll show you - IF I may see you as well, I simply just don't want a picture of me out there for anyone to see.
-If there's anything else you'd like to know just ask.
Otherwise -
~I do have 3 pet bunnies I would be more than happy to show you, they are extremely cute.
~I'm a very honest and down to earth guy.
~I'm very patient and easy going.
~I'm very curious and inquisitive. I will try to ask everything I can to learn all about you haha.
~I'm Very VERY Kind & Caring, I will probably ask how you are feeling a bajillion times a day, simply out of care for you.
~I can get pretty clingy, and will always want your attention and to be talking with you. If i have someone im interested in i wont want to talk to anyone else🤷‍♂️
~I'm very trustworthy - you can confide in me, and entrust your deepest secrets and I wont tell a soul.
~I'm a HUGE hopeless romantic, im old fashioned and will always try to impress you.
- I'm, a BIG softie even though I may look a smol bit intimidating, but I'd do just about anything to see you smile or laugh. And yes.., I do mean anything.
~I'm a big goof - I will get up to some silly shenanigans ALL the time, I will crack dumb jokes and send you memes and tik toks just to make you happy, even if its from across the room I'd wait to see your reaction lol.
~I'm extremely loyal, and would never even think of cheating.
~I will cook for you, and clean up too, even around the house, I'm very self productive and don't ask for much. Just don't forget to kiss the cook.
~I'd also love to just cuddle up and watch a movie or read a book together, anything to get us closer. Id try to take you out on dates whenever possible haha. I have a million SUPER romantic date ideas I have but have never had anyone interested enough in me to take out. Here's your chance ;)
~I will always want to share stuff I find interesting with you, and try to share every moment of every day with you. I'm not looking for someone who can only talk for a small amount of time, I want someone who's willing to put in all the effort I put into them back into me, it goes both ways. If I'm "with" someone you are my TOP priority nobody and nothing else would be. You would be the only person I'd truly want to talk to, so rest assured I would NEVER cheat, even more so because no one is interested in me - Hence why I'm here hahaha.
I'm sure there is more to me than this snippet but I cant think of more at the moment haha, so get to know me and find out more about me.
Some of my interests are: Engineering- I'm a nerd. I admit it. I love being technical and hands on, I love building things. All kinds of things, from furniture, machinery, and reverse engineering anything I find. I love learning how things work and trying to improve things.
Music - I prefer music with a very fast pace, or with some very meaningful lyrics I can relate to. I love to sing along to music and songs that have a deep meaning behind it I can sympathize with makes it all the better. Some bands I like are: Bad Omens, Beartooth, Demon Hunter, MIW, I9K - The list goes on. I'm a bit of a metalhead unfortunately.
TV Shows & Movies - I love watching shows, and I'd love to stream some shows and have some E-dates with you, to get to know you, or if you are close to me, maybe we could do it in person. Some shows I like or more of the Fantasy/Sci-Fi, Comedy, Action, stuff like: National Treasure, Halo, BattleBots, Rick and Morty, AHS, Anything Marvel or DC, The Witcher, Wednesday, The Sandman, The Magicians, The Umbrella Academy, ETC.
Gaming - Yes yes I know, Basic guy likes basic stuff. But gaming has been a thing for me since forever. I know most of you wont care or want to hear that, but I'll leave out the specifics on this part unless you are interested in that, MEGA Bonus points if you are.
Here's a lists of Cons to dating me-
~I'm not Ryan Reynolds. Disappointing, I know.
~I will fight you on what goes on pizza lol.
~I'm not rich.., Yet.
~I can't pronounce Worcestershire.
~I'm slightly forgetful, but with good reasoning.
~(Not really a con but- some might disagree) I still have ALL of my firsts, Do with that what you will c:
~I've got an endless pile of love and affection and no one to give it to! What a dilemma! Help me fix it?
Other than that I'll save the rest for a bit more of getting to know each other.
Here's a bit of what I'm looking in you:
~Preferably someone with lots of free time, and loves to chit chat. I'm seriously not interested in getting 1 message a day. Though I understand people get busy, I personally am not willing to try to learn about you and form something with 7 responses a week. Effort gets reciprocated and I appreciate the time you put in me.
~Physically: -I’m not personally attracted to anyone who’s “curvy/ chubby”, I apologize. Not a shallow thing, I just dont have the attraction chemical in my brain for that, I’m sorry. -If you’re shorter than me, thats a plus to me. -I love dimples, if you have those when you smile, bonus points 😊 - I’m not sure what else to put.., but as for nsfw wise find out😂
~I'm a sucker for a different accent other than American, and if you have an Posh English accent you have already won my heart.
~I'm also only really looking for someone within the ages of 18-35. I don't want anyone old enough to be my mom lol.
~I'd prefer (But not a must) people NOT on the other side of the world, as other time zones SUCK. I don't expect to find anyone who also has never had a boyfriend either, but that would be a real plus. I also don't mind a LDR, but I don't want that forever. But it gives us time to get to know each other.
But as for attributes I'm looking for in you:
~Someone who is above all else very very Loyal and would never cheat.
~Someone who is Honest, and will tell me the truth over a little white lie.
~Someone who is Kind & Caring, who'd constantly check on me, and accept me for who I am & help me improve day to day.
~Someone who is trustworthy, and I can count on to keep my secrets safe, or even just help me remember things.., I do tend to be somewhat forgetful.
~Someone who is very Patient and wants to see me succeed and will help me do so, just like I would help you. Even if its small day to day things, I would appreciate your company ANY time.
~I want a partner who is Affectionate, can reciprocate, and loves to snuggle and talk about their day, and what their interests are, and what makes them happy.
~Someone who can admit they get clingy or overprotective is a bonus.
~A partner with good communication is key, if something wrong we have to be able to talk about it.
~A partner who likes to game with me or at least watch me play would be a plus but not a requirement.
~Someone with a good sense of humor and like to joke around, I am a big goof after all and I love to joke around. Sending memes is always appreciated and good to cheer people up too!
~I'd prefer someone with the same music taste, but not a requirement, Plus if you wouldn't mind if I send you love songs occasionally that's a bonus, or sending me some back haha.
~Being willing to voice call is a must, Texting forever is not the way to go. I have to know what your voice is like haha, later on we can video call if you are comfortable with that. I prefer chatting on Discord because Reddit messages of any kind I'm sure you know are unreliable and sucky in general. So please send me your discord if you have one :)
~I would LOVE to see picture of your pets if you have any. Bonus points if it includes your beautiful self haha.
I'm sure there is more I'm looking for but I cant think of it right now haha, I will have to edit this when I think of it.
Please tell me about you as an opener! I told you a good bit about me, now its your turn haha.
Tell me some things like -
~What's your name?
~Where are you from?
~How old are you?
~What are your hobbies / interests?
~What about my post interested you?
~Where is my TV Remote?!
~Selfie? Pet pics?
~Hit me with your best joke or meme :)
~What's your favorite candy?
I'd LOVE to get to know you, and see where things go.
But yeah, I know it was long I'm sorry haha. Send me a message and lets get to know each other! :)

L,
I know that based on my first attempt to apologize and the emotionally involved letter I wrote, there seems to be no longer any space between us.
I didn’t handle my panic or strong emotions with the maturity they required. Apart from not being ready to buy a home and expressing that I didn’t want to break up, the other things I said about my concerns of depression and commitment were driven by intense emotions. Looking back, I understand how my words deflated you and left you feeling unsupported. I was trying to express my fears poorly, and it never meant that I wanted our relationship or the future we had planned to be a full stop. I needed more time before making such a huge decision, and the pressure got to me. I felt I owed you an answer immediately, and not everything was genuinely expressed.
I regret sending the letter I wrote. I had written many and decided against sending them, but this one was sent out of an inflated ego and strong emotions. I was hurt by the language you used, and instead of de-escalating the tension, I made things worse. I couldn't connect my emotions and rational brain.
In hindsight, I needed a moment to pause, to give my fear and panic space, and then release them to keep moving forward. I didn't take that pause or allow the space. I was coming to you for reassurance without even knowing it.
Every day, my chest feels like it will burst, knowing that I was reactive with my fear, anxiety, and panic. I did my best to manage it but fell short.
It’s clear that I need more time to work on emotional regulation and communication. I’d like to ask for forgiveness, and I hope that any connection we might still have can stay as an ember that, with some air and fuel, can once again turn into a flame we both feed. Despite my poor attempts, I have been trying to fight for us.
You said you’re at peace without me and that you settled on the idea of dating me. Is that true?

So I was notified that I got the free trial of FSD.. and I tried it out this morning on my morning commute.
First impression is that it does not handle Express/HOV lanes well. Normally before FSD on my morning commute, I put it in auto pilot mode and take the Express Lane and HOV lanes all the way down to about one mile before my exit before taking over the wheel again.
However with FSD it kept trying to exit the Express lane when it didn't need to. I fought with it for miles constantly canceling the auto lane change before just turning it off completely. I'm sure the people behind me thought I was drunk with the turn signals constantly going on and off.
I certainly won't use it on I-85 anymore, but I'm eager to see how it handles GA-316 on my way home since there is no express lanes on that road.
I had signed up for the subscription back in 2021 shortly after I bought the car and back then it handled highways pretty well, but to be fair, I wasn't using the Express lane then. The reason I canceled it then was because I kept having to correct it on surface streets and I didn't drive on the highway enough to warrant continuing to pay $200/month which was the subscription price back then.
Other issues I had with FSD was it waits until the last minute to get into the lane to take an exit and it's slow and indecisive when merging onto highways. I've also noticed it waits until the last minute to brake when a car is stopped ahead and is slow in picking up speed after a stop or slow down. This still occurs with with the latest FSD iteration and it also happens with standard autopilot.
I considered getting the FSD subscription again since the price is now $99/month, but I'm leaning towards no once my trial expires.

Hey you guys. I really hate asking to borrow, especially from strangers, but I need a few things asap and hoping there's a kind soul out there. I'm on disabilities, and a little day job I had lined up fell through recently, leaving me screwed. All I got left is rice, and by tomorrow that'll be gone. Cats gonna need litter too within a couple days.
It's possible another side thing may come up before the payback date, but I won't promise early repayment, not after my experiences of things falling apart. I only remark that it's possible. I don't like being in debt, and try to clear it as soon as I can. So if things line up and I can repay earlier, I will. (Again I cannot promise early though.)
On the 29th my benefits come though, that's a sure thing; but that's still 2 weeks away. I'd have liked to ask for a little more, but realistically I can only pay back $40. It's tight, but I can for sure manage that, no worries.
I've posted a few threads about can collecting, which is a side means of earning income but I cannot do that right now, open wounds on hand. I hope this shows you my situation is as I say at least, if you have doubts.
https://www.reddit.com/homeless/comments/13nwqz2/3_weeks_ago_i_asked_for_tips_on_collecting_cans/
I have also created a successful charity drive on reddit once, in a way which nobody could be scammed. We raised over $2000 for various cat shelters and it all went directly where it was supposed to. I mean, I'm just posting this in hopes it adds to my credibility as someone who won't try to run a game. I don't know how I can otherwise assure you I'm on the level.

So yeah, just don't know what else to do here, hoping someone has a little to spare for now.

Hopefully someone can help.
We bought a used car last year (private seller, around £1200). We were told the car had been in storage (older family member) for a few years (quite low mileage for a circa 20 year-old! car) - the guy selling it had been taking it on short trips till he sorted his new one.
The MOT was clear of any advisories, not long before we purchased - though the previous year had quite a list.
Strangely, even though it had had a good going over before being sold (so we were told), it turned out the air filters etc were full of leaves and black, also one door was rusty (which my partner replaced himself, along with the window mechanism!). Those should've been small red flags, I guess.
In the last week, the MOT was due so we took ours into Halfords and also booked a full service due to its age. The guy was utterly shocked and reckoned last year's was a 'fake MOT'!! and also alleged last year's garage was notorious for rigging MOTs.
This year, the faults are pretty much what was on the year before last, along with one or two more issues.
We have been told explicitly not to drive the car now. It was quite a shock, especially thinking we could have been in danger!
I understand you can't dispute an MOT after three months, so is it worthwhile getting in touch with the VDSA? We tried twice by phone and couldn't get through to anyone! Obviously issuing fraudulent clean MOTs is against the law (not to mention dangerous!) so how can we prove we have our facts correct?
Halfords say today there's not much recourse as the three months to dispute an MOT are up but I'm wondering if the garage (which still exists) will have anything to say - but I doubt they're going to admit anything.
My partner isn't interested in pursuing this, so I thought I'd ask here. It this it a waste of time? I'm female and don't know much about cars but if that's the end of the line then it's a lesson learned.
Thanks.

(Only Europe, Please) - short note - If you're not into reading or receiving long messages,don't read any further + Please If you don't want to read everything because of my post being too long for you & instead of reading It all - ..skip some parts - find another person to talk to.Let's respect each other and our free time. All people criticizing/making fun of me & other people - will be blocked.Pretty much as people questioning my post and giving me unsolicited advice.I'm not here for any conflicts and I know I can't please everyone - I know I never will.. However It's me who should feel comfortable in my new potential friendship & obviously someone who wants to be my friend - not the whole world.. which is why I don't need any advice from people who don't even want to be a part of my life. The amount of rude people on Reddit always criticizing others and making fun of them is unbelievably high but let me tell you something - NEVER let anyone make choices for you and criticize you only because you're different! Always fight for your dreams and never let anyone make you think you're worthless! It's your life and you're the one deciding what's best for you - If you want to judge me despite not even wanting to talk to me or give me advice better block me! I'm an adult woman and I make all decisions on my own.I'm not trying to "fit in" and be like everyone else - just to get more attention.Accept me for who I am or let go - is my motto.

Hello guys! 🙂 (read everything before you decide to send me a message) Please send me a message ONLY If you're in the same situation and If your expectations are the same as mine.I want to find like minded people from Europe (Why Europe? Read my post to find out) I'm looking for something permanent (remember - you can feel lonely even If you're surrounded by others - If there's no emotional bond) I'm fed up of meeting people who never make time for me & only text me once or twice a week to ask me "what are you up to?" Out of boredom.I don't want to meet people asking others a million of questions like "what's your favorite movie?" Just to give them one word answer and ask them another question "and music? Your favorite song?" I'm looking for something "deeper" & different 🙂
★
🤍
What kind of friend would I like to find? Someone to talk to on a daily basis - Someone who needs It & wants It just as much as me
🤍
What are my expectations? I would like to meet someone in a similar situation – why? Because I honestly feel like only a person with the same expectations and a similar outlook on life would get along with me & because I feel more comfortable talking to people like me..Friendless people who need a strong bond - people without friends and partners.. Don't get me wrong…Most people deserve to be happy and It's good to have friends but people who have friends or families in real life are usually more focused on them (which is completely understandable) & have less time for others + I simply don't want to be replaced by anyone..I kind of envy people who can call others , true friends given I don't have an emotional bond with any of my acquaintances. Please send me a message only If you're not In a relationship and don't have friends for the same reasons I've already mentioned before
★
🤍
Whenever I hear that others have friends I simply get sad because (believe it or not) If I had to choose between 20 people to talk to (acquaintances) and one special person - I'd choose that one special person without any hesitation .
★
🤍
I also want to talk to others every day because..I want to see someone’s effort & be someone's first choice - not another person to have random conversations with..some people ask me "Why do you want to talk to people from Europe?" Well..Because I would like to see someone I'd get along with - In the far future - face to face :) + I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to receive a message - waiting 6 hours to receive a message is more than enough

I'm by no means criticizing people who don't want to talk to others often / People who really are super busy & People who want to find someone to have unimportant conversations with - I'm aware that not everyone has the same expectations which is why everything you're reading now - is here for a reason :) All I'm suggesting is - I don't want anything temporary and I don't want to be the one always giving more than receiving.Listen people - I used to ignore being..ignored by others..always being just an option to talk to during tough times or moments of boredom.I was too young to realize that I was never important enough for most people that were a part of my life. I don't know who needs to hear this but..No one is too busy to make time for you! People make excuses to avoid others because they prioritize everything and (maybe) everyone..over them. It's true that most people are busy - but It takes only a few seconds to start a conversation (If you're into short messages) and a few minutes (1-10/15) to type a long message . Don't let anyone lie to you.

Truth is that most people either don't like you enough to make time for you or just simply - feel no need to talk to others often but are they too busy? No..You don't need to send me a message just to ask me and tell me "Do you really want to talk every day? I like long messages but I can't promise to contact you often" If you really are unsure please don't send me a message.I don't need more acquaintances aka people to talk to - occasionally.
🤍
I'm not trying to sound rude but conversations once or twice a week wouldn't be enough for me and I don't need them... Let me tell you one thing – A true friend would never just give up on you for no reason :) It’s always possible to find someone to have a random conversation with – someone willing to send you one message once or twice a week..but..It’s almost impossible to find people willing to make more time for you.

I’m not asking a busy person to make time for me by changing some plans! Absolutely not! I’m here to find someone who wants to talk daily (throughout the day or maybe even night) of one’s own will.Someone looking for the same kind of connection.Strong friendships are based on mutual support. One of the best things you can do for a friend in need, is just to be there for them when they want to talk.I often see posts from people who always say how friendless they are because they don't feel loved or appreciated by their "friends" remember! A true friend - someone who truly likes you or someone who wants to get to know you - will always find time for you.

I'm not interested in small talk/short messages - I love long and meaningful conversations. It's so easy to find someone who loves abbreviations and questions like "How are you?" How was your day? Or what are you interested in? But so hard/almost impossible to find a person who knows how to keep a conversation going & show others some effort.Building and maintaining friendships takes time and effort.Never allow pursuits or possessions to become bigger priorities than your relations with other people.Close friendships are so important to us because they are so difficult to form + Having friends can help you feel as if you belong to something that brings purpose and connection to your life
🤍
• I do NOT respond to any „Hey,hmu” or „u want to talk?” type of messages (super short messages or messages full of abbreviations – I literally can’t stand abbreviations and acronyms in text messages) ALL messages full of abbreviations will immediately be ignored.I also don't like it when people ignore everything I say in private messages just to focus on a random question or? When they start talking only about themselves and don't ever ask me anything. I love conversations with people referring to everything I say...I want everything I say and do - to be reciprocated
🤍
• No NSFW profiles (checking mental health subreddits NOT included as I'm a huge empath and always try to understand others) - Please! I'm not looking for anyone to flirt with and I'm not looking for a partner either. I always check people's profiles (even comment history) - To avoid guys, trying to get inappropriate pictures from adult women or? flirt with them + I don't want to see you with no clothes on so If you're on Reddit only because you want others to see what's underneath your clothes - I'm not for you! I just simply don't want to see any s e x related activity on your profile If you want to talk to me.
🤍
• If both of us (you and I) are from the same country (I live in a non-English speaking country) - I want to communicate with you in our first language! No - Not because I don't understand English - because as you see - I do. Why then? English is simply overrated and people don't appreciate other languages as much as they should. So.. If we're from the same country and you want to talk only in English (which is quite common on reddit) - Talk to someone else. I just don't want to talk to a person from the same country as mine - in a foreign language as It's just something I don't understand even If all you want is to improve your language skills
🤍
• Please only adult people 18-36 (age range) It doesn't matter to me If you're younger or older than me (as long as you're not underage) So.. don't worry! I just want to have discussions with emotionally mature people :)
🤍
• I don’t respond to messages I don’t find interesting even If they're long - If after receiving and reading your message I don't feel comfortable or think "I wouldn't get along with him/her" I simply do not respond (what I’m suggesting is that I don’t always respond to someone’s first or second message because..sometimes you just know If you’d get along with someone or not- I’d never ignore anyone after days or weeks of daily conversations though) just because I don’t want to do anything forcefully & because I don’t want to lead anyone on. I read all messages but I definitely don't respond to all of them! I want to make it clear because I don't want to be accused of not responding and not reading people's messages! - Some people don't message me back as well and even If It's a bit disappointing I'm ok with that! - as long as there's no emotional bond - Not responding to someone's first or second message Is completely OK! If people think they wouldn't get along with a stranger - is there a reason to start a conversation? I don't think so. I can't stand being ignored after days or weeks of daily conversations and seeing people changing priorities over time.. but that's something different - something I don't want to go through ever again for real. If I'm really interested in someone's message it's impossible to hear from me "I'm too busy" because I know myself and If I had no time for others - I wouldn't be here. I don't want to pretend someone I'm not and always try to find some cheap excuses to avoid others. (unlike most people who don't want to talk to others)
🤍
• Don’t ask me “Can you tell me something about yourself?” If you really want to get to know me - you can ask me questions :) I'm an open book.
🤍
• It would be better If you guys were into emojis - like me - to describe your emotions In text messages. Two emojis - 🙂 and 🙁 are completely enough! I just don't like emotionless conversations.I also don't like it when people say "yeah" or yea"as it sounds dismissively. First impression Is everything to me! I want to see your kindness even in a text message - Emojis are very helpful to express your emotions.I don't want to meet people who say "crying Is a weakness" - It's OK to cry even If you're a guy!
🤍
• I want to talk on reddit first (just to make sure If I'd get along with you) before moving to Discord or some other app
🤍
• I would rather talk to a homebody - not another person who always has something to do as people who are very busy don't even have time for daily conversations
🤍
• If you're another person interested only in "childish conversations" such as "HEYOOO! I'M BORED! Ya like Pizza or cheese? xDDDD 🤣" I'm begging you! Don't send me a message.I'm not a child anymore and such messages don't make me smile or laugh.I'm looking for someone interested In serious discussions - not another person just seeking some entertainment out of boredom . Conversations with sarcastic undertones (even when It comes to some emojis such as 🤣😂) are not for me. Your typing style matters to me! Why? when It comes to online conversations with someone new - It's not always possible to know If someone Is laughing at you.. or with you. Let me tell you something else! Jokes about cancer, disabilities and death are UNACCEPTABLE to me. If you find joy In someone else's misfortune you are not a person I want to know.
🤍
• Time response matters to me a lot! I would never ask anyone to be online all day long and I'm NOT asking any of you for any instant messaging as I'm someone who would rather wait an hour or two to receive a proper response instead of some short and pointless messages but I'm interested only in daily conversations and I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to get a message from you.I don't need unbelievably long messages either! Messages as long as the second paragraph of my post - are completely enough. If you like longer messages? you can send me a longer message, but If you want to send me one word or one sentence as a response to my post - don't expect a reaction from me. I don't want to come across as rude - I just don't want to waste your time
🤍
• I'm strongly AGAINST picking on people you don't even want to chat with - and making fun of them! I can't stand people who criticize others publicly or make fun of them! (only because they disagree with someone they don't even know) There's no place In my life for someone using Reddit, to hurt other people
🤍
• I'm not into foul language and I definitely don't want to talk to people who swear a lot...
🤍
• I want to meet assertive people who know what they want and always stand up for their friends
🤍
• I want to meet someone willing to call me In the future, someone spontaneously sending me pictures of animals or food, et cetera. I want more than just text conversations.. 🌻
🤍
Why can’t you see any of my hobbies listed down below? Because what really matters to me is..who you are (If you’re honest, talkative ,understanding, caring and trustworthy – for example) just simply – It matters to me what you’re like! not what you like.Don’t get me wrong – you can tell me what your hobbies are but from my point of view - people's hobbies are important - If you want to find a gaming buddy or If you want to meet someone to hang out with in real life and..go bowling for example.What most people seem to care about are other people's passions – I don’t. I get along with other people despite having completely different hobbies but I absolutely don’t get along with people way different than me (different expectations and outlook on life – way different sense of humor or personality traits – It’s just an example) It doesn't make ANY DIFFERENCE to me If you're a gamer or? Someone interested in photography! It doesn't make any difference - > as long as you're talkative and kind and If you also want to find someone willing to stay in your life..for good - But If you're into small talk and all you want is to...type and receive super short messages or If you're here only because you're bored and don't know what to do + If you're a very sarcastic person - I'm definitely not for you! I don't get along with overly sarcastic people turning everything into a joke. Friendships should be natural – not forced. I wouldn't get along with people who laugh at everything.. In my opinion most people are way too sarcastic.. It's quite sad... Sarcasm can also be another form of passive-aggressive behavior.

🤍
People who want to be to friends should feel comfortable and have something in common. No - not necessarily a similar taste in music or movies but something else..Most friendships don't fizzle out because of people not having the same hobbies but..because they just simply have different expectations when It comes to something important.I'm not here out of boredom and trust me - I'm not here to meet as many people as possible.I choose quality over quantity.I highly value myself and my time & Sometimes one person but a person who makes you feel comfortable and understood - is more than enough :) We ALL can choose what kind of people we’d like to talk to and maybe even become really good friends with and I? I don’t want anyone to be disappointed.We all have some expectations after all.I know that people don't have to talk as often as possible in order to become friends but I'm interested only in daily conversations. If you really need someone to talk to due to loneliness and If you have time to talk to me daily (throughout the day and maybe even night) I always make time for others.I'm literally always available.I could even stay up all night long only to talk to someone important to me. I’m ready to commit but only If there’s some chemistry between me and someone else.I don’t do anything forcefully.
★
🤍
If you want to talk to me tell me your story - tell me why you're here, what kind of friend would you like to meet :) Et cetera.Such messages are way more interesting to me than...someone's long list of hobbies. I know! It's unusual on reddit but I don't make friends based on hobbies..I want to meet someone with the same mindset as mine to finally feel understood and get close to someone new. You can share your problems with me - I absolutely don't mind "complaining" as I've been through a lot in my life.What do people usually tell you when you tell them that something's wrong? "Don't complain" or "Life's not over yet - one day you'll be happy" or "There are worse situations than yours" and..obviously "Find a therapist" Life's not a fairytale and sometimes things don't go as planned.Emotions shouldn't be bottled up.I'm sick of people always telling others "everything's gonna be ok" move on " & more..Trust me people - not everyone wants to hear "Just believe in yourself and everything's gonna be ok" Some people take it as reassurance - but others? They would rather hear something different 🙁Imagine being told that things will be okay, only for them to get worse..Do you guys know why telling someone "everything's gonna be ok" Is wrong? Because you can't see the future.

You can't guarantee others that one day they'll finally be happy + when It comes to social interactions - We're responsible only for ourselves - not others & as you guys know people let us down quite often (sometimes even when there's no reason) so instead of telling people how they should move on, forget everything and be happy or asking them to find a therapist - be there for them! Always be willing to listen to them If you really like them or want to get to know them & don't suggest everyone in a tough situation to find a therapist because even the best therapist won't ever replace a true friend + It's quite normal to be disappointed If people always do something to hurt you. Sharing your hardships with other people in a very similar situation or exactly the same one - is VERY helpful If the other person understands you & wants to start all over by just letting it all out! Feeling emotional support instead of always hearing some "positive quotes" or someone saying "Stop complaining let's talk about something else - Is very important! "Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on. I appreciate sensitive people who always try to understand others. If after hearing a sad story all you want to say is "forget the past and move on" you're not for me. It's important to be a good listener and provide emotional support to others
★
🤍
Please - If you're a completely different person than the described type of person I'm looking for (If you love abbreviations,If you don't need a stable friendship, If you're sarcastic and quiet) or If you simply disagree with my post - don't force yourself to send me a message.I want my new potential friendship to be natural which is why I want you to contact me only If your needs are the same - I don't want you to pretend someone you're not - only to please me - Pretending to be someone you're not - is the worst.I want to finally be happy again & find someone "always" wanting to talk - sending me random pictures throughout the day - food pictures or pictures of some animals. What is the most important to me? I want to find people who value online friendships as much as they would value real life ones as there's another human being on the other side

No comments please.Only Private messages and chat requests 🌺
I know It's possible to meet people with exactly the same expectations as mine but It's just not easy because most people are Interested In temporary and entertaining conversations. People like me are just "different" I really want to finally find someone who loves emojis as much as I do.. someone who loves sweet, warm and serious discussions at the same time. Emojis really do - change conversations 😊

I could use some advice on a complex situation I've been dealing with. For the past few months, I've been talking to this girl, let's call her Kiana, on a daily basis. We've connected deeply, had late-night conversations about everything imaginable, and both expressed mutual interest in each other. However, things took a turn when we had our first argument, leading to a few weeks of no contact. During that time, I started talking to other girls, including one named Lisa who would occasionally call me.
When Kiana and I eventually reconnected, things seemed to be back on track. But one day, while FaceTiming Kiana, Lisa started blowing up my phone. Kiana noticed and suggested adding her to the call, which I initially thought was a joke. However, it became clear that she was serious, and I declined out of respect for our relationship and my feelings for Kiana.
Then, I brought up a gut feeling I had about Kiana talking to her ex again. She admitted they were in regular contact and even confessed that she still had feelings for him and would consider dating him if he asked. I expressed my hurt and concerns, but she brushed them off. It left me feeling deeply hurt and confused, especially since I had been committed to making things work with Kiana.
I believed we could overcome any obstacles together, but now I'm starting to feel like I was just a side character in this relationship. I'm struggling to come to terms with the realization that maybe I never really had a chance. I just needed to get this off my chest and would appreciate any advice or insights from the community.
Thanks for listening. Has anyone else been in a similar situation, and if so, how did you navigate it?

((TLDR: I'm looking for pretty much one or two people to connect with. We'll probably either play video games alot of just have long voice chats. If you don't voice chat please at least be willing to msg alot. I'm super friendly but also have been through a lot so to the people who are struggling please don't be afraid to msg and be sad just be willing to try with me to be happy. If ur looking for JUST flirting please go somewhere else. A little flirting isn't harmful but I like genuine connections and flirting with me just because I'm a female and not because you actually like my personality honestly hurts my feelings. Genuine authentic is my turn on lol.))
Let me start by saying Im open to befriending other women, but I don't have many good experiences with them so I would rather not advertise for them.
Seven or eight years ago I made a post on a subreddit looking for a friend. Long story short I found a nice Canadian guy we voice chatted frequently and messaged each other nearly everyday. Unfortunately through the years feelings developed on his side and it was "date me or say goodbye to me" ultimatum randomly one day. Though there is a danger in getting close to someone like that again, I really miss having a close friendship. We all grew up, got married or are in a relationship, perhaps had kids, ect. But I'd like to have a close friendship like that again that has a successful ending. For me personally regardless I didn't regret it and if you are willing to risk such as well let's try to be friends.
I'm a huge gamer. Animal lover. Amazon Prime lover. And most of all a bonefied goofball. I'm a bit strange, but I'm super nice. I also enjoy talking about complicated subjects. The universe. Meaning of life. Purpose. Or just about your day. I could write a bunch of stuff about me but why don't we start with an interest or subject you would like to talk about or perhaps are passionate of.
Current Multiplayer games I play: Sons of the forest, Ark, Final Fantasy 14, Phas, Palworld, Helldivers 2
Psa. If you want casual friends please don't message. Would prefer 25+ but if u don't mind my confusion in your generational conversations then I don't mind a 20+. Let's be random together.

So me and my girlfriend have been together na for a year—turning 2years in December.
I have this problem na palagi n'ya akong pinagseselos at hindi n'ya nilalagyan ng boundaries yung mga friends n'ya since kaibigan n'ya nga raw ito.
Palagi n'yang sinasabi na may kabit s'ya tuwing nag ddate kami, consistently n'ya itong sinasabi and it's making me think kung totoo ba yung sinasabi n'ya and ofcourse inopen ko 'to sakanya at palagi n'yang sinasabi na joke lang naman daw yun and i didn't argue about it na. But, the problem is palagi nyang ginagawa kahit nag ssorry na sya sa'kin kaya kahit anong isipin ko na wala yun, hindi talaga maalis sa isip ko.
Additionally, She have this circle of friends na full of girls and, to be honest i don't know kung valid o tama ba 'tong nararamdaman ko. Kasi naman, she would let them do any romantic stuff sakanya, such as, magkkiss, holding hands, etc.
Last week, nag send s'ya ng pictures sa akin na nasa kama sila nung kaibigan n'yang babae at naghholding hands. I ask her if nilalagyan n'ya ba ng boundaries yung mga kaibigan n'ya knowing na may boyfriend sya and she replied "bakit ko naman lalagyan ng boundaries e mga kaibigan ko 'yan" and i don't know what to feel about it, i thought once you're in a relationship you should create a boundaries with your friends kahit same gender, moreover, she suddenly remove my nickname and nag deact sya without saying a word, after an hour or two nag my day sya na kameet up yung girl na kaibigan n'ya, i ask her about this and she just said na biglaan yun.
ABYG, hindi ko na kasi alam kung tama ba yung nararamdaman ko or normal lang talaga yun sa mga babae

In the game Re Zero: Lost in Memories that's now shut down, their used to be a Melancholy if that starts from arc 3. And unlike the other if routes Subaru has forbid himself of using RBD because of Rem's last words; "Please... live." The author stated that this was supposed to be April Fools story too but because of unexpected schedule delay he's putting it in the game. Thus confirming that this is supposed official Melancholy IF story. Since it is still in the progress of being translated, I tried my best at summarizing and translating it. There might be some errors here and there but hope you enjoy it.
How it diverges from the main story is that; After Rem gets killed by Betelgeuse in arc 3, Subaru doesn't go to Mathers' domain and doesn't get killed by Puck. After wandering in the forest while carrying Rem's corpse in the forest for a while, Subaru gets found by Reinhardt. And after burying her in the bed of flowers that was nearby, Subaru faints, and wakes up at Astrea Mansion. But as Subaru starts to relive the memory of Rem being killed, he embeds that painful memory inside his brain and vows for vengeance. After hearing what happened while he was in sleep from Reinhardt (mainly about Emilia's faction being eliminated by the witch cult) Subaru spends rest of his time learning swordsmanship from him. But as Reinhardt starts to spend more and more time teaching Subaru, he slowly realizes that Subaru is willing to throw away his own life if it meant revenge. And after that moment, Reinhardt announces that if Subaru doesn't change that aspect of self-destruction in his behavior, he will teach him no longer. After hearimg that, Subaru explodes in anger and leaves after thanking Reinhardt for teaching him how to wield a sword. After leaving the Astrea mansion Subaru wanders around and stumbles into unknown territory, after a while he realizes that Crusch Faction had been erased from history due to the battle against the White Whale. And there he meets up with Patrasche that somehow survived and she- Patrasche -voluntarily follows Subaru. And so, they go on a journy to get revenge on the witch cult. Later on, Subaru joins the gangworld (not an organization, just a term such as criminal underworld) to gain information about the Witch Cult. There, he meets Elsa Granhiert again and starts a friendly relationship with her like in the Pride Route but in more equal grounds. As he starts to help out Elsa's missions, she starts teaching him about her fighting style. 20 years have gone by yet Subaru still has no clue where the Witch Cult and Betelgeuse is. Now due to the pain he has experienced so far, Subaru's personality has completely changed. He cannot empathize nor sympathize with others. He is cruel to both himself and others. And also due to trauma of not being able to do anything while Rem was being killed, his personality is now very self-deprecating. His face now resembles Hector, his outfit is similar to that of Al. He now wields a prosthetic arm made out of Rem's flail because he lost his left arm.
After returning to Lugnica, Subaru stumbles across the Loot House, and he meets old man Rom again there. Subaru requests for information about Witch Cult but leaves without much success since Rom doesn't have any information that's useful right now. While wandering around the ruins of Mathers' Mansion Subaru stumbles across the Forbidden Library and finds out that Beatrice is still alive. Subaru requests a contract with Beatrice in order to achieve revenge against Betelgeuse but she refuses and orders him to leave. Again, without much success Subaru leaves. But he takes few goods inside the Mathers' Mansion to exchange it for money at Rom's loot house to buy new equipments. (It seems that Roswaal too, has died.) After somehow recieving long-awaited information about Betelgeuse (I don't really remember how it happened) Subaru plans for an ambush. First, he assassinates nearby Cultists one by one using Shamak. And to make Betelgeuse's guard down, he fights without using his full strength. And takes a blow from an Unseen Hand without dodging it. As Betelgeuse approaches, Subaru takes out a blade that was stored inside his prosthetic arm and finishes the Archbishop off by piercing multiple vital organs. But Betelgeuse possesses the body of one of his Fingers and completely obliterates Subaru and leaves, thinking he was dead. Subaru gets healed by Beatrice who followed him since he left the mansion using magic and learns about Betelgeuse being an Evil Spirit, his ability of Possessing those who have talent as an Elementalist, and about his Fingers. Subaru requests help for defeating Betelgeuse once again and Beatrice finally accepts. Later on Subaru awakens at the bed of hospital that Felix Argyle has been working as a doctor after losing memory about Crusch Karsten. Felix jokes about Subaru getting injured too often. Then, Subaru tells Felix that he knows about the identity of the person Felix has long forgotten (Crusch Karsten), and if he wishes to know, he will have to join forces with him. Felix obviously becomes furious and aggressively asks Subaru who that person is. And adds that if Subaru doesn't tell him, he'll kill Subaru. Subaru would've won if he was in his normal state but while injured and in such helpless state, there was nothing Subaru could do. So Subaru started to yell that; if Felix was to kill him now, he'll never know anything about that person. After hearing that, Felix hesitantly gives up.
Now that Subaru's wounds have healed and his body and Gate stabilized, he obtains an information about one of the Ten Swords of Power- the Life Sword (命劍 Inochiken). Life Sword, once channeled with the its wielder's mana, had the ability to completely devastate one's soul that was struck with its blade. So Subaru recruits Elsa and others in order to obtain the Life Sword and goes on another journey. Elsa, who has seemingly lost Meili to the Witch Cult, accepts Subaru's offer. Finally Subaru and his allies arrive at the now-ruined-mansion of Margrave Rivack(Ri-ba-ku). He and his allies defeats all Witchbeast infestation snd Subaru obtains the Life Sword. And also gains the Margrave's belongings after killing the soul of Rivack that has become an Evil Spirit. After returing to Lugnica once again, Subaru obtains an information from old man Rom that Archbishop Betelgeuse's homebase is near the Arlam village of Mathers' domain. To fight Betelgeuse, Subaru first requests Beatrice to trap him and Betelgeuse alone using barrier magic. Thereby msking Betelgeuse unable to possess his Fingers. This time too, Subaru doesn't fight in full strength but constantly uses Shamak to not reveal Beatrice's location to prevent him from going out of the barrier. He gets caught by an Unseen hand and gets his right arm ripped off. Betelgeuse, thinking that the victory was on his side, starts to ramble about being Slothful and insults Subaru for his "Misdeeds". And as he gets closer and closer, Subaru uses Metia he obtained from Rivack's mansion and blinds Betelgeuse. As Betelgeuse trip and squirm because of being blind Subaru reveals that if he fought in full strength he would've dodged every attack and Unseen Hand of Betelgeuse, but just to make the Archbishop's guard down, he didn't. Subaru insults Betelgeuse for not changing the slightest and calls him "Slothful" for it one last time and plunges the Life Sword in him.
But as it turns out; A prosthetic arm is unable to provide mana for Life Sword to activate. And Subaru, just like in the light novel/anime, gets possessed by Betelgeuse. But Betelgeuse's mind also couldn't handle Subaru's mind who has lived his entire 20 years just to kill him. In the end, Subaru's mind completely overpowers Betelgeuse's and Subaru asks Beatrice to stab him using the Life Sword. As he dies alongside Betelgeuse, Subaru apologizes to Beatrice for not being able to live with her. And in his last breath, Subaru dreams of his life where he could live with everyone happily ever after.
And then, he returns back to the save point in front of Kadomon's shop in arc 3 (when he was shopping with Rem).
Subaru realizes that he experienced Return by Death and finally realizes that everything he did was in vain. He collapses and rambles about everything he experienced to Rem. After being pampered by Rem, Subaru tells her about him being weak. And tells her that he never wants to experience such pain ever again. And unlike the light novel/anime, Subaru requests her to lend him strength and declares that *he will start over from zero* And story diverges into the main story. Showing HOPE. The End.
I really love this story and I am hoping for a proper translation of the story. Hope you enjoyed it too! (Also, I completely forgot about Mimi Pearlbaton. Anastasia's faction too, gets eliminated by the Sin Archbishop in this story but Mimi achieves revenge against the Archbishop that deleted her faction.)

I'm a teacher. It's May so I'm probably more frazzled than usual, but I have a major coworker problem that is impacting my mental health and I can't get it fixed. This morning I got into work about 20 minutes before I needed to in order to update my computer, drink coffee, and get ready for my day in peace. I left the lights off in my classroom and kept the door locked to keep people out. Within 15 seconds of turning on my light and opening my door my most frustrating coworker is in my classroom asking "how I'm doing" and other inane questions including "how did you connected a keyboard to your computer?"
The coworker seeks me out upwards of 15 times a day. We don't teach the same subject or even in the same department. She ignores signs that say "busy" or locked doors a lot of times. I've been to HR and admin, but she constantly needs something from me and it's ruining my focus on my job. They have talked to her. It helps for a very short period of time (a couple of days). She will come in while I'm actively teaching to ask a question. I feel like I'm losing my mind because I'm disrupted in my planning, I'm disrupted in my teaching, and I'm disrupted in existing. I teach AP courses in history so there is a lot of detail and chronology. Getting my train of thought broken because someone wants to know if I know how to unjam the copier is sending me yall.
Last year I screamed like a lunatic for her to get out of room and stay out. It lasted maybe 48 hours. She unlocks doors, she ignores headphones, she doesn't care if I'm teaching, and she won't email her questions because they will just take a minute.
I'm an introvert who is currently unmediated. I'm in my 40s. I've been teaching for over 15 years so I'm not new to this job. I've just never dealt with someone who ignores social cues, who ignore boundaries, and is generally so resistant to the word no. Help!

So me and my girlfriend have been together na for a year—turning 2years in December.
I have this problem na palagi n'ya akong pinagseselos at hindi n'ya nilalagyan ng boundaries yung mga friends n'ya since kaibigan n'ya nga raw ito.
Palagi n'yang sinasabi na may kabit s'ya tuwing nag ddate kami, consistently n'ya itong sinasabi and it's making me think kung totoo ba yung sinasabi n'ya and ofcourse inopen ko 'to sakanya at palagi n'yang sinasabi na joke lang naman daw yun and i didn't argue about it na. But, the problem is palagi nyang ginagawa kahit nag ssorry na sya sa'kin kaya kahit anong isipin ko na wala yun, hindi talaga maalis sa isip ko.
Additionally, She have this circle of friends na full of girls and, to be honest i don't know kung valid o tama ba 'tong nararamdaman ko. Kasi naman, she would let them do any romantic stuff sakanya, such as, magkkiss, holding hands, etc.
Last week, nag send s'ya ng pictures sa akin na nasa kama sila nung kaibigan n'yang babae at naghholding hands. I ask her if nilalagyan n'ya ba ng boundaries yung mga kaibigan n'ya knowing na may boyfriend sya and she replied "bakit ko naman lalagyan ng boundaries e mga kaibigan ko 'yan" and i don't know what to feel about it, i thought once you're in a relationship you should create a boundaries with your friends kahit same gender, moreover, she suddenly remove my nickname and nag deact sya without saying a word, after an hour or two nag my day sya na kameet up yung girl na kaibigan n'ya, i ask her about this and she just said na biglaan yun.
ayun lang, huhu I don't know what to feel na kasi is it normal thing or no🙁🙁

A common argument I see in this beef discourse is that Kendrick didn’t respond to anything Drake said.
Let’s discuss. I know he didn’t directly respond to: - Domestic Violence against Whitney - Baby Keem ghostwriting - The short jokes
What others are there? I never see people elaborate on it.
My take: - It would be sound nuts to go on a track and explain that you didn’t assault your partner. Just ask Drake how trying to address the pedophile allegations went over with everyone.

• Do we actually have any bone in our bodies that tells us Kendrick has ever used a ghostwriter? The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Eminem, Dr Dre, and many of his collaborators have spoken in interviews about his pen. There is no evidence to contradict that he’s anything other than a master lyricist. Love Game with Eminem is not a very good song in my opinion, but it Eminem’s first hand account is that he wrote that long ass verse in one day it’s impressive how complex it is. He won a Pulitzer Prize, his career defends this without a word.
  
• Kendrick himself has had many height bars, “the 5ft giant” etc throughout his entire career. I have met Kendrick in person, he’s very small. There is nothing to say here.
  

Thoughts? What else didn’t he respond to?
It can be argued if we believe there was a mole and he heard Family Matters before it dropped the “fabricating stories on the family front” in Euphoria was the response.

The Kamakhya Temple is a recognized Hindu temple that is devoted to the mother goddess Kamakhya, which is located in Guwahati, Assam. It is one of the most significant Shakti Peethas and a highly important Tantric temple that is related to the Tantric practices like vashikaran.
Vashikaran is an ancient Tantrik ritual from the past, which is used to attract any person to you. It is a process that involves the utterance of loud and strong vashikaran mantras and the execution of some rituals that are specified by an expert Tantrik. The Kamakhya temple is considered by a lot of people to be the most powerful place to do vashikaran sadhanas as it has a very strong Shakti energy.
The Kamakhya vashikaran mantra is one of the most potent vashikaran mantras which can be used to influence any person you want. The regular verbal recitation of this mantra aids in the attainment of siddhis and, thus, the ritual becomes more powerful. Nevertheless, these siddhis are to be utilized wisely for good purposes, not for the harm of others. The overuse of such great mantras can lead to the opposite outcome.
How to practice Kamakhya vashikaran mantra:The method of practicing Kamakhya vashikaran mantra can be divided into the following steps: - Begin by getting into a comfortable and relaxed position. - Recite the mantra with a clear understanding of its meaning and purpose. - Focus on the object of your desire and visualize it in your mind. - Maintain a positive and confident mindset throughout the process. - Do not get frustrated if immediate
Begin the ceremony in the evening on a no moon day or Friday night. Table, light oil lamps, agarbatti, and flowers are the offering to the goddess. Dishes like kheer or payasam and flowers are usually offered to her.
The table is set on the eastern side of a red mat in a secluded place. Wear red clothes. Do not allow any distractions or obstacles to hamper your progress. The ritual period is a time of celibacy and living the satvik life.
Take pleasure in the stillness and reflect on the goddess Kamakhya. Present to the Kamakhya beej mantra named "Kleem" to increase the energy level and to establish a precise goal.
Therefore, the chanting of the Kamakhya vashikaran mantra 108 times with whole heart starts. Make a joke for numbering. The mantra is:
"Om, I serve the Gods, I bow to the Gods, the Gods will help me, therefore, I will easily be able to meet the Gods. "
The most efficient way to address the issue is to give thanks to the goddess Kamakhya and beg for forgiveness if you make a mistake. Enquire from her to get the siddhi by means of the mantra. I will not tell anybody and I will only use it in the right manner.
Do the activity for 48 days in a row to get the whole results. Stick to all the rules firmly and not missing a single one. Try the mantra on your closest one after 48 days of chanting on that one. Once you have attained the goal, you can use it to get your special person to be attracted to you.
Note:
The abuse of any vashikaran mantras can be the cause of the hell in relationships and lives. Hence, take it into account but if really necessary, it is definitely worth it.
The enforcement of the strict compliance to the protocols is a must, or the task may fail or backfire.
It is a tough task to get siddhi through the hard mantras, it demands a lot of positive energy, discipline and practice.
Signs of Kamakhya vashikaran mantra working:
The anxious person will start to think about you out of nowhere.
He/she will be the one who will call you and asking you to connect.
They will keep thinking of you and feel more attracted and connected to you.
They will turn you into their favorite person and will give you more attention than others.
They will only agree to your proposals and recommendations.
Hence, the Kamakhya temple is a temple that is explicitly designed for the extremely tantrik rituals aimed at the acquisition of siddis. The Kamakhya vashikaran mantra which has been used by the sadhaks for generations is still very powerful. One could acquire the mastery of almost any person after the exportation of discipline, practice and blessings from Maa Kamakhya. Nevertheless, mystic siddhi should not be abused and can only be practiced under the supervision of a Guru.

Hi I'm not really too sure if anybody will see this since I've never posted before but I'm thinking of ending my life. Since I was 11 I've been bullied by my sister off and on for the past few years. At first it wasn't that bad. It was just random insults beeing thrown at me with the ocasional hit. But after a while, maybe 13 years old, I started getting beaten up every day after school. If I'm being honest I don't remember much and I'd rather not talk about it. My parents didn't really care and would often wait in the lounge until she stopped and then continue doing normal things like watching tv. Whenever I tried asking them why they couldn't atleast try stop her or atleast try talk to her they wold give me answers like "Even if I did try do something it wouldn't have made a difference" and "You have to be understanding she's going through a rough time, just listen to what she tells you to do and be a good sister." Those and the words "What is wrong with you" were probably the most hurtful things I've heard my parents tell me. They also made jokes about how everybody is probably going to go through a "suicidal phase" like me in our family. I feel really scared if I'm being honest. My dad is always banging on my door and shouting or screaming at me, and my mum says that she cares, but with the way she acts I kind of doubt it. My two sisters don't really talk much to me anymore either. They just ignore me or ask for money. I'm also 14 turning 15 so there's no way I can move out. Everyday feels the same and I barely think anymore, I don't eat much or feel anything. It's like I've gone numb. I've already tried ending it twice but have backed out. I'm not so sure if I will this ime though. I don't really want to dump any more useless information than I already have so I'll end it here.

Just want to say in no way is this a joke, purely hypothetical. I have looked around on forums and found people talking about turboing n400s, and mostly what i gathered is that these smaller bikes are built for the power they have. Turning up the power more would require a lot more having been done to the bike than just a turbo kit. However, I am aware of people throwing small turbos on posty bikes or even people throwing turbos onto kei cars. The only reason I am considering this is because I LOVE how lightweight the RC390 is and was just curious to see how fast I could get one without having to upgrade to a 600cc. Could this be done, anyone aware of any kits?

This story starts with me being unemployed and having about $6-7,000 in savings while living with my parents, to getting employed, earning more than I ever had before, and yet being almost never so broke. Him requesting money is done through SMS unless otherwise stated. I don't think I'll be putting a TLDR in, it's sort of a lot regardless.
Why am I telling you this story? There's a strange phenomenon that concealing guilt or shame, or something, isn't good for you. That isn't necessarily what I'm feeling, I am only trying to move on as expediently as I can think of ways to do so. Rather than have my inner circle in the know, as I have had before, I have decided to post into the void.
*Not every transaction is detailed, some are recurring with the most noteworthy ones being bolded in chapter form. There are 82 transactions and this is sort of a long story, so I cut some fluff out by excluding a lot of them. *Note, for all the amounts borrowed and offered to pay back eventually, I repeatedly told them not to worry about it and that I didn't consider them my debtors, this is true to the end of the story, and I will not be seeking financial remuneration. After 4 months of working with nothing to show for it I am simply going to just enjoy knowing that I now get to keep the money I make.
The beginning:
It all started with picking up a tall young man walking by the side of the road in QLD (where I live). The man had been walking for hours in broad daylight and was all sweaty, trying to get to the nearest large rural town some 40 minutes away from where I live, which is also where I was going. We do the usual thing and try to make small talk to break the ice, sharing some personal information like if either of us is studying or working our age difference (which isn't that much, me being slightly older). he told me he was walking to see a mate in town about his car, if his friend had repaired it yet. Because he wasn't sure whether it would be fixed, we made an arrangement that I would also pick him up on my way out of town back home.
So, I do, and we do more small talk to the point of having an actual conversation, he also tells me he has a 2-year-old daughter. This is a significant detail because it is what drives a lot of the sympathy I had for his situation. There is also one thing about that conversation that stands out to me, and that was the impression that this guy was not very good with money because he said he frequently wants to buy something and then wants something else so he sells the first thing he bought to pay for the second, sort of like he couldn't help it or something. I couldn't relate. On the way home together I point out where my place was and drove past to drop him off at his. It was at this point or when I dropped him off in town that I gave him my phone number and said to text me if he needed a ride sometime.
Some days later he texts me asking me to lend him $50 for fuel because his place has no power (I would later learn that his property is not hooked up to the electrical grid and his family uses a generator for power). He wanted me to send it to his PayID number, which is something I had never used before. The next day he and his missus want a ride into town and back to check out a bus(?), he also wanted to borrow $100 which he said he would pay back in a couple of weeks. Before I left town, I got a call from a place I had sent my resume in to and they offered to start me on their employment process, to which I agreed. Yay! They stay in town overnight and made it to a pub, he called me later asking for something like $180+ for drinks and asked me to pick them up the next day, thanked me for funding their (apparently very fun) night out and informed me that the bus is very nice and will be getting delivered to their property in a few days (neither of them had the appropriate license to drive the bus, his father did except he did not come with us and I never met the man). He also asks for $200 to pay off a debt to his brother-in-law, would also pay that back to me as $300 in two weeks.
The next day, near dusk, he asks me for a lift into town to do some grocery shopping at a servo. I show up at his place and his mother wants to tag along, and she has an empty jerry can for fuel to use in the generator. So away we went, for a 90+ minute drive for the third day in a row, except near dark this time. I was beginning to get a little tired of the lack of forward thinking (why didn't you go shopping before I had to pick you up from town yesterday?), but there is so much more to come... I also gave him another $300 that night for some reason and $50 the next day to renew his Spotify subscription.
Two days later he asks me how much I'm actually willing to lend him, I said $500 but pleaded that he has to make it last a while, he agreed. He also informed me that he would now have to pay for the transportation of the bus to the property, and two days later told me that he was $300 short ($800) total to bring it 80kms. That's borrowing nearly $1,000 in two days, he also said this would be the last time he'd borrow.
It's at this point that he asks me what total he owes me, I was getting back to work at the time and told him to check his bank transactions, but I definitely took this as a sign of goodwill that he was keeping track to reimburse me even though I was telling him that he owes me nothing.
The worker's compensation claim:
A couple of days later he asks me for $170 to take his missus out for the night, winds up at the Gold Coast needing $500 for accommodation because he "didn't think things through". Good news is that his missus' car is now registered so I won't have to give them rides anymore, and more good news is that he's getting worker's comp in two weeks to the tune of $3,000 for his hand getting crushed on his last job (he stated this had left him unable to bend 2 or more fingers), he lastly states this money could pay back the $1,650 he owes me (his calculation). Next day $200 for fuel home, then $500, and he asks me to deny him any further transfer. He sends me a picture of the bus, a 1979 Albion Viking. I couldn't find the picture he sent me on Google, so I guess there really was a bus and I really did pay for the pricey transportation of a 55-year-old vehicle that had depreciated to nothing. He said he would send pics when he cleans up the inside, but they never came.
The very next day, he claims my very final $500 transfer did not go through (this may have actually been the case because I transferred the money between accounts for a faster transfer and then to him in less than a minute, so I suppose I just did it too fast or he was lying, but it was definitely gone from the account), to which I said give it a few days. Every day for the next 3 days he would tell me it still hasn't come through.
The nephew:
On day 4 of the final transfer, he stopped telling me it hadn't come through, however he stated that his missus had a nephew (14-15) who was going through some things and was about to be kicked out of his home, needed $200 for fuel to pick him up and bring him back to their place. Okay, well if I can prevent a minor (14-15) from being on the streets by lending a little more, so be it. I went over to physically hand him the money for fuel and he informed me in more detail what was going on, and it sounded believable. A couple days later and he's asking $150 for fuel to return the nephew to his parents, and his missus is requesting $200-$300 for accommodation to stay for a few days to resolve the situation. They stay a few more days down there for a total of about $1,410, spent on food, rent, and trying to calm the boy down.
He also got an update regarding his worker's comp, said it'd be payed out within 6 weeks for approximately $10k, then he asked me for a loan of $1,000 with an interest rate of 40% so I'd get $1,400 back. I, at this point, questioned why in the world would he need a loan of $1,000 after all I'd given him, and his response is... "car" - I asked him to elaborate further and he said there was a car he could buy down there for himself at that price. I informed him that money was actually getting very tight for me despite working now. He didn't get the car. I was also thinking that I would only have to go without having money while still working just until he got his worker's comp, my hope was that I could save and be content knowing his family would be looked after for a while.
I eventually called the bank to ask them if that final* $500 transfer had actually gone through on their end and they said it had, but to trace the transaction would incur a fee of $20, now knowing this and not really wanting to pay it I decided I would triple check if, after all these days, he had gotten that final* transaction: "Yeah, just came through today bro"
Considering this disregard for my time and neglecting to keep me updated on things to be just a quirk of my new friend, not wanting to claim he had been lying, I pressed on in good faith that this could just be water under the bridge.
His missus contacts me and says she needs $290 because she found accommodation for her nephew, and that he had forgot to pack anything including food. Another $100. Then fuel back while the nephew stays at this new place for a week. $70. I had concerns with leaving a minor renting alone so far away and his schooling, but they were met with it was "just for a week" until they could find some place to put him closer to them, their new primary caregivers, that apparently could not be at their house. I was, at this time, under the impression that the nephew was living alone, yet it would later be revealed that he was not.
The tyres:
3 days later after setting the nephew up somewhere close enough to his school, the missus went to visit him and got two tyres slashed, $190 to replace. She goes to the tyre place and is told that all of the tyres need to be replaced otherwise it is not legal, so it's actually $390 for all 4 (I was skeptical about this and was on a work break at the time, still have not looked into the validity of the claim). Some more time passes and general purpose transfers take place. I am informed that the nephew has sorted out an Aus Study payment from Centrelink, but that I would need to transfer $200 for the nephew's necessities until it's actually worked out, and I would no longer need to pay his rent. Cool. At this point in time, I was working but not keeping what I made. I paid board at home, but the rest minus my fuel between work and home is what I refer to as the 'x tax' ('x' being a stand-in for the name of the person who scammed me). The requests would mostly happen around the day I got paid, with a believable frequent expense of fuel for the generator being at least $160 a week, not to mention fuel for their car and the infrequent requests from his mother to "pay back her friends"
Sometime later, the missus got another flat tyre from driving over a piece of metal on the highway, $75 to replace and they managed to get towed to the tyre place (I did inform them that they would have a spare tyre in the back of the car, but they claimed it had already been used "the other day when we had another one slashed"). They got another spare but used that as well.
The funeral:
I get a text at work from the man saying that his grandfather was in palliative care with only one or two weeks left, and that his cousin was requesting he and his mother go down to see him, so he asks me if I can help. I decided I should be setting a weekly limit or something so this new friend doesn't drain my bank account each pay day, so I gave him $100 and let him know that it's a hard limit. 4 days later, he tells me that his grandfather had passed 2 days prior, needed $100 to get down to his funeral. I could only give him $85 and told him I would be unable to fund his return trip, to which he agreed would be fine. 2 days later, after the funeral, he tells me that he and his mother need $200+ to get home, get food & drinks on the way back and that the rest of their family would not help them and that they "have no other way back". Getting tired of the lack of forward thinking in this family's affairs, I reluctantly agreed to save them once again.
5 days later I ask him when he gets his worker's comp payout so I can begin to save up money from work knowing he and his family is taken care of for a while, he tells me "next week hopefully". This was in late March. Queue more travelling and fuel costs to now go and cremate the grandfather as his wishes were for him and his mother to be there when it happens. Now, I thought the funeral had already happened and that was the end of it, but it turns out that was just the funeral service, which is something I was not aware was a thing. Due to this misunderstanding, I was very suspicious at this point and exclaimed in a text "You already had the funeral!" while thinking "you can't bury someone twice, is this evidence you are scamming me?".
They also needed accommodation, except I was so suspicious of this man that I requested he find and tell me the name of the hotel they'll be staying at, just so I can verify that is the actual price per head. Also, his mum blew another tyre, but they happened to be right outside a tyre place... again. He claims to not be having very good luck anyway. A request is made for money to take his missus out for her Birthday. I tell him in a lengthy text I had been working for 2 months with nothing to show for it and that I am much more inclined to assist him only with essential spending like fuel or food, and he claimed to understand that, then stated he would use a bit of the money for a small cheap present anyway. The present turned out to be $200 on layby and he needed another $60 to fully acquire it. I was telling him to tone down his spending to emphasis that he needs to live at or below his own means and that he wouldn't need my help if he had just bought a much cheaper present.
It'd been about 9 weeks since he told me it would take 2 weeks for the worker's comp (which was later changed to 6 weeks) to be paid and I was wondering if he had heard back or followed up. He said he did and that they would "get back to him" about it. So, now that hope I had that this was just a temporary situation wasn't holding up so well. Despite all the money I was giving him he had bills "piling up" and one urgent one was for a storage unit where he claimed to have a shipping container's worth of stuff and the owner was threatening to throw it all out if they didn't pay his 6 weeks overdue fee. Apparently, if he had paid just most of the fee he would get to keep his stuff there, which is what happened.
There was a wedding for his brother-in-law and on the way back he asked me if I could help him buy phone data, except the amount he ended up paying wasn't an option for renewal, it was about $5-$10 off from the options available (this just fueled my suspicion even further that something just wasn't right). Thinking that a scammer wouldn't voluntarily give money back, I tested him by asking him for $40 back when I overpaid him and well, that's where it went to, that mobile plan. When they returned home from the wedding they found that their generator had not been fueled like he reminded his parents to do and so they lost all the food they had in the fridge. I questioned why his parents didn't notice the power had gone out and all of a sudden there was a second generator that was for them(?).
Their landlord had apparently stated he would be requiring $200 in rent a week early because he has bills and rates to pay. He informs me that he hasn't got a proper contract to even be on the property and could be kicked out at any moment and that he "needed to keep his landlord happy". I couldn't help him pay that much (nor did I really want to give in to his landlord's outrageous demand) so I sent him a link to QSTARS where he could learn his tenancy rights, except it was Saturday which means he wouldn't be able to call them. Then I suggested that he may be able to get a faster response over the weekend to his situation by making a Reddit account (he asked me what that was) and posting on the shitrentals sub.
A few days later he tells me he has been posting there and learning some things, meanwhile I had been intentionally avoiding the sub so as not to invade his personal privacy, however some days go by and I am suuuuper suspicious by this point I look around for some thread or comment relating to his situation in the timeframe it would have been possible for him to make one. I figured if the situation was so urgent that he would at least try to seek advice over the weekend, but I didn't see any evidence of that, he also never told me if he called the tenant's advisory and I never heard anything about his rental situation again.
6 Days from when he refreshed his mobile data, he had apparently used the 30GB limit. I was astounded at this and knew it was going to continue to be my problem if I didn't find this man a better subscription plan with his provider, so I did, for $10 more he could double his data. Only, I told him that he could have the 6-month plan for more money if he wasn't going to use so much data and because it would have been cheaper for me in the long run too, he agreed. I also thought that if he were really scamming me he would choose the option that makes me transfer more money, which is what happened. I guess that's test #2.
The ending:
Which brings me to today. The nephew was brought back into the story because he had apparently been kicked out of his mates place he was staying at(?) and they needed fuel to go and get him. Kicked out of 2 places? Okay. So I do the transfer and I decided that the only way I could subtly (that is, without compromising friendship or alerting this man that I don't trust him) find out the truth is to visit him face-to-face much further up his property. I wanted to confirm if A: the nephew was real or not B: if there was really a bus and C: if there was a second generator. The best way to do this, I thought, was to just show up and not ask if I could come over because if he was lying about the nephew's existence he would probably say a lot of things to make sure I'd not be able to visit him while the nephew is there. I bring a 6-pack to his gate and realise that he isn't home. Okay. I go home but there's a request in my phone for money for school uniforms and supplies for the nephew to transfer to a local school that I'm intentionally ignoring.
Queue the next day and I get prepared to go again, but I get a text saying that they're out again in town, still waiting for me to transfer money for these school supplies. I had done a bit of research and found that it was either unlikely or impossible for a student to transfer schools within one or two days, or to start in the middle of a term, so I felt pretty confident that this was a situation that didn't need addressing urgently. Also, remember when the nephew sorted something with Centrelink to get Aus Study payments, the one where I no longer had to pay some or all of his rent? Well, that was no longer the case. now he is too young to get them, casually forgotten about maybe? Oh yeah, and he had to start school that day. Anyway, I tell the man that it may be possible to get a uniform from the school's uniform storeroom as that is an option for families with financial difficulty, he says that due to Covid they are out of them and that they tried that already...
Right, so now I ask him how the nephew got kicked out (not important), I just wanted to know if it was planned or sudden, if there was enough time to start the process of transferring from his current school to the local one in town. There wasn't! SO, I called him out, told him what he was saying wasn't possible and that his story sounded like a scheme to get money out of me. I asked him for an easy proof, simply take a picture of yourself with the nephew in the car to prove he's real. He denied trying to scam me and said the nephew and the missus are in the school trying to resolve the situation and that he couldn't take the picture. Instead, he sent me a different picture on Facebook of him and his mates being pulled over for something by the police(?) which he claimed just happened before. I could barely identify anyone in that photo, but it looked like he was the one driving the car(?). I said that I've given him too many passes and the benefit of the doubt, but not this time and that whenever he wants to provide a picture with his nephew, like when he simply comes out of the school(?), to send it my way. Somewhat quickly they got out of the school and the excuse for not taking a picture became "We are driving in the car now"
He says that the picture before is the only one he's got, I said take another when you can, then he goes on about this being the last time he needs fuel money and to do it and then he'll send the picture. I told him no transfer would be happening and I would be blocking his number in a few hours if he doesn't do it (I really do like to give people the benefit of the doubt, it's almost certainly what has led to this going on for so long). He sends me another picture on Facebook except this time it's him upfront (passenger side), his missus behind him, and a child in the backseat.
This photo looked a lot more like what I was asking for, except neither him nor his missus looked the slightest bit worried about losing my charity and the child in the back didn't look 14-15 like the nephew is supposed to be aged. Rejecting this photo for these reasons and stating it was an old photo he had, he kept asking for fuel money just so he would be able to get home and so I told him that if he asks again, I would be blocking his number. I also told him his lack of forward thinking does not constitute an emergency for me and that there are at least 4 adults in his household and surely someone has thought that if they left to go to town, that they would be able to return home. He said that if I didn't provide the fuel money, they would be stuck. I said if his mum (the driver) had to pull over anyway, it would be a good time to take that picture (which I changed to him standing outside the car with his nephew).
He said providing another photo wouldn't do any good as he claims the two he sent were proof enough... the first one really isn't related to the second, it's strange he thought that would constitute the proof I was requesting, really it just raises further questions for me... and that's about when I block his number (after previously blocking him on Facebook).

Had a very interesting encounter last weekend.
I was dog sitting last week and went out for a late walk because it was possible in my area of Scotland that we could see the Northern Lights. One of the neighbours I met earlier invited me to hang out with them.
I accepted their offer cause again, they're niceish and since they were friends with the people I'm sitting for, I didn't want to be rude.
The situation was nice, a fire was roaring and it was a lovely night.
I ended up talking to the wife more and she asked if I was dating anyone and I admitted that I've not actually dated anyone since I was a teen and I am now turning 30 this year.
Obviously she asked why and if I wanted to be dating anyone. I said no, I like my own company and admitted that having kids or being married isn't my end goal so there's no rush on me finding a partner, if it happens, it happens. I could find them this year or when I'm 40 or even 50. I don't care.
Well, this absolutely flabbergasted her, she said, "you really don't want kids?!"
I said, "no, I don't really want them and I've felt like this for years"
When I tell you, this near stranger cycled through every goddamn bingo I've ever heard in trying to convince me.
"What about when you're 60 or 70, will you not be lonely"
Nope, I have 3 sisters, two older and one younger and we are all childree. I mean the youngest is 19 but she's a lesbian so probs not gonna happen.
"I love my family but honestly the love for my kids are different, it's just purer and I would die for them"
Didn't get to respond to her cause something happened but like in my head, I was just thinking that I would die for any of my sisters and I would put myself in danger to save them. Don't need to pop out a kid to feel like that.
"You should just have one because honestly you won't regret it."
I think I'm okay, I wouldn't want to bring a children into the world on an uncertainty.
This stumped her for a moment but onto the next one.
"What about your parents, your partner, blah blah"
Thankfully I managed to get away by going to the bathroom and when I came back it was more or less dropped cause I didn't bring it up again and she was talking to another neighbour.
Near the end of the night, her daughter came back home from where she was hanging out and immediately walked up to her mum and this was what she said.
"Mum, wheres our food? Come onnnn, go make us food. Wheres the food?"
There have been times where I've sarcastically said something like that to my mum but I swear this girl was dead serious, also she's 14. She excused herself to go make the food and she ended up putting on pasta and pizza.
Ffs, a 14 year old can make that.
Honestly she spent a lot of the night sounding absolutely miserable. Moaned about her kids, her partner, the works but oh no, I'll be the lonely one.
I just find it funny when people spend so much time trying to convince me to have kids but all they end up doing is the opposite.
