2024.06.09 20:48 Wallizoober Beginner looking for help with respawning 2D character

So I'm running into a weird issue I'm struggling to solve. I'm trying to implement a working respawn for the player character in this 2D platformer prototype. Currently what I have works correctly on first death. Player object is destroyed and instantiated at respawn point and player lives are decremented. However on the second death and respawn the player respawns at the respawn point but is not controllable and just falls through the floor with no interaction from the colliders. Will post my player controller script below, any ideas or advice on what could be the issue is appreciated. Also this is my first time posting here but probably wont be my last so if there is any more information I could provide or anything I could format better please let me know. Thanks!
PlayerController script:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour

2024.06.09 20:46 Ok_Bumblebee_5042 Borrowed Time not to be paid back

Borrowed Time not to be Paid Back.
It is sometime in the heat of Texas of 1998 and I find myself being asked by my mom if I own any guns or specifically a shotgun. She also asked if I knew how to make home made pipe bombs. Of course, I said No.
Why was I being asked this- well here is what lead up to that moment in my confused hormone infused age of 16. Not fitting in with the crowd and not getting the attention by the opposite gender… dampened by daily outlook on what was my short stint of the HS Years. One could say I was the Charlie Brown cartoon that had all the dirt around him... I was grungy to say the least. I played the part well which in turn became who I was… which I regretted many years ago into y adulthood. (Bill Collectors just called me at 1240pm cst) I so hoped for that somehow… some way… a girl which I had a huge crush would notice me but this led to more self-induced let downs. How could I let such a woman, let alone a crowd that wouldn’t accept me get away with it… I manifested the hate, the embarrassment of wanting to fit in, the depression from the ingredients of a cliché family…to become vengeance. Yes, I wanted to kill myself many of times but my hormones and desire to have sex … kind of saved me. Sadly, I wish it was another topic that saved me but for now... ill leave it at that…sex. So, prior to this… I was seeing a psychiatrist and school psychologist ( did attend a special HS for students with Anger issues/depression or just plain psycho ) which had me take an array of medicines and such. All these pills did not help because the help I sought was the acceptance of the crowd I wish to belong apart of. So here I am… I had a teacher try to reach out to me on an emotional level to try and help me up so to say but all I could so is… think how I could Kil every student who was apart of the crowd, kill every teacher I found to be close to the crowd, and even teachers who I viewed as disowning of their own race (stupid and immature- this I know, but I was young and full of testosterone). Id write down plans on how to squeeze everyone running out of the same exits, so I could aim for the middle. Id come up with plans to blow and set fire to the sides exits as to force all to exit the building in one area... I had so many ideas and blueprints that it became my obsession. Long Story short- I want to fit in… I don’t fit in. I need help but I forced myself to believe my own medicine. On a Wed, I stated to a teacher, Fuck Off, you all will dead by Friday and I’m going to shoot all of you all & blow this school to hell. I probably didn’t say it like that but yeah… close enough. I got escorted out by the School Cop and sent home. School calls my mom and then I asked The Questions. I did tell my psychiatrist at the time but when I recall him writing more down on his notepad... I back tracked and said it was all a dream I had been having caused by the meds.
Its 2024- Columbine is the past which still shows its face yearly and all I can think... it all started with two teenagers who probably just wanted to fit in and have sex.
I am now 43 , on the verge of loosing my House, On the verge on getting Fired from my Career, Divorced for 5 years, wanting to kill myself but can’t being I will not be the cause of my mom’s heart attack which she would have- Another Story, and literally living on 50 dollars every two weeks.
Swing Set-
43yo and how the hell did I get here. Was it sleeping in the hallways of hotels and motels as my dad had affairs and didn’t want me to know ( id travel with my dad for his job in hopes of getting some bonding and love, I was around 7yo ) … was it my stuttering in elementary, was it when I punched a kid with a pacemaker in the 1st grade which had me paddled by a principle in heels ? was it my disgraceful pushing of my first GF to have 2 abortions when I was 17? Was it that I used zip lock bags for condoms when I thought you had to be 18 to buy them? OR was it that I left a loving church when I was 17, listed my anxiety panic attacks more than the love of my mother, dove headfirst into the pool of music sex drugs lust and life only to find out the pool I jumped into had no water and just became more ingredient of what my life would become…. FUCKED UP. The only thing that kept the shakes of Life at bay, was my only sweet candy 1mg Ativan! Surprised I didn’t abuse it!!! This I can assure you… I took it once or twice a day ( bad times that happen ) and now I just got off of it. SUCKS. I was on it since the aged of 20 to now… 43. I am trying to live in the moment and I tell myself… smile.. enjoy the moment….for tomorrow you may be dead or coming face to face with God. All that matters is the love for my mom and doing what I can to feel “okay” with God. I cant take a credit score, house, car, or paycheck to hell, heaven, or whatever is on the other side but I am positive its hell or heaven. Man I miss being a good Christian when I was a child. Yeah it was easier… no responsibilities…just being a kid ( still in a bad childhood ) finding comfort in a church and feeling loved. The problem also for me is this… when I am told not to do something.. I tke great joy in do those things. Don’t press the red button…. Well im going to press it and jackoff… and do it with a smile. Now… nothing is taboo anymore.. Nothing!!!! People are free to be what they want… So if you cant fit in… become what you want… which is damning. Many things need to be left taboo to let others such as myself take joy in doing things when told not to. Sensitive people ruining the days and nights… claiming to want freedom but all they do is make restrictions by their own desire and lack of others needs. YOU cannot savor the taste of freedom without some laws/restrictions. Even our own bodies have restrictions, without guidance, you have chaos and death. Where is the true pleasure in that. And will society admit, us as humans, we stereotype from the get-go, its our only way to perceive what’s out there and sometimes new. Safe or Dangerous, Good or bad. Its for the other side to help transform the initial stereotype or the leave it as is. We damn ourselves or we can pave the way for ourselves to better us. BTW… Porn was better when it was rainbow colored leaving us to view it sideways which enhanced our imagination. I am not talking about the alphabet group rainbow but… porn … when you had to view it on 99 and it was blurry as hell! Nothing is taboo! Depression Anxiety comes from our bodies which is always trying to adapt and push the envelope but becomes a chaos of a mess when parenting is has done all but the things it was supposed to do… to make a healthy child become an adult.
Am I an Adult- I pay my needed bills on time, but I am boke and losing my house/calife.
I feed myself but I am fat and over eat to kill the dark pains of life.
I go to work but wear a costume of having it together.
I am tough but inside I am weaker than an egg with a broken shell.
I love but love as child does… full heartedly and naïve.
I am now looking for hourly jobs in other states… telling myself... if shit hits the fan… I can just run away… live in a hooker motel and just breathe. Truth is…. I am only alive so if my mom is alive…. Unless God touches me one more time. I go to church here and there but I when I cry… I yawn and feel guilty. I do not want to go to church only when I need help… and how will I find a Christian woman that can deal with my fetishes unless gods touches me…let alone deal with a financial mess of a fat man that I am. I am a child stuck in an old man’s body. I am a so disillusioned that I use “ I “ way too much and offend others that are sensitive daily. Its not that I am sarcastic but come on.. we all hurt. BTW… I so Dislike the IRS! Welp… here I am.. writing on borrowed time not to be paid back… I did once had a rattle snake wrap around my led in a California orange orchid… didn’t bite me… and I was pissing too when the snake wrapped around my ankle. I also did have sex with a woman in which after, I jumped out her apartment window, ran across some field, jumped on a train and took off. I do like the song.. never marry a railroad man by shocking blue. Ill end with this… God if your reading this. HELP ME PLEASE! If not… let me see my daughters in heaven before you send me down to hell… and also let me hug my mom on last time.. even if she does not recognize me… I know shell be going upstairs… not certain about me right now though. Im just a lost child pretending to be a normal adult. I was not meant to be flooded with so many choices in life.. I would have been good with yes or no, left or right, a or b, and only seeing the primary colors… not the many shades of life!
We're the artist of our own lives, no one else! Every waking moment is a new clean blank canvas. If today is dark dull painful and full of history, well the next waking canvas morning, use brighter colors! We, you ... decide what colors to use and what to paint. We choose to be happy cause it is a choice but a tough one. Life is too short to live man's time. Live by your own paints, your own clock, and your beat!

2024.06.09 20:44 NennisDedry Morpheus is the actual villain in The Matrix (1999) and truth be told, we were better off with the machines.

We all wanted kick-ass moves like Mr Fishburne’s character back in the day and I still want a pair of his iconic sunglasses. But let’s be fair, Morpheus was the real villain in The Matrix (1999), not Agent Smith or the Machines.
Exhibit A: He lies about and covers up the fact that life outside of the Matrix is a shit show. He purposefully misleads Neo and coerces him with promises of the ‘truth’ instead of mentioning the glaring fact that outside of the Matrix, the world is an underground hell hole and wasteland. By not giving Neo the full picture, Morpheus betrayed Neo’s trust even before Neo took that deadly red pill. The start of an awful relationship…
Exhibit B: Morpheus exhibits a fanaticism that mirrors the very authoritarianism he claims to fight against. His unwavering belief in the prophecy of "The One" blinds him to the nuances of individual choice and autonomy. He coerces Neo into accepting his role as a saviour without considering Neo’s wants and needs. Ultimately, his approach dehumanises Neo, reducing him to a mere instrument in Morpheus's crusade against the Machines, and disregards the fundamental principle of self-determination.
Exhibit C: The collateral damage caused by Morpheus’s actions cannot be ignored. His rebellion leads to countless deaths and suffering among both the humans in Zion and those still plugged into the Matrix. Morpheus frames these needless deaths as necessary for the “greater good” as if he’s one of the cult-like farmers from Hot Fuzz. The idea that it’s okay to kill anyone in the Matrix (and therefore in the real world) because they could turn into an agent is easily fixed: DON’T GO INTO THE MATRIX YOU ABSOLUTE BANANA! Instead Morpheus and his band of merry men raid the Matrix frequently guaranteeing anyone in the Matrix could at any moment either be killed by them or be turned into an agent or be killed by an agent.
In conclusion, while Agent Smith and the Machines are obvious antagonists, Morpheus represents a more insidious threat. His manipulation, fanaticism, and disregard for individual autonomy paint him as a true villain in "The Matrix." His actions, driven by a rigid belief in a prophecy he cannot prove, cause widespread suffering and trauma, making him culpable for many of the hardships faced by Neo and his allies. Therefore, when people say Morpheus, we should really be saying Lesspheus.
I’ll now open the floor for comments and questions.
Thank you.

2024.06.09 20:43 crookedcorpse No Job Because of Anxiety

I put TW because I just want to be careful for others. TW: stalking
I have been through tons of trauma since I was young, but this is really affecting my everyday life. I recently had a job a few months ago and it sucked, but the money was okay. I could barely afford living still, but welcome to college student life.
So I worked with this guy who was planning to go into the military. He eventually started to hang out with me and he was super nice at first, but after feeling him out (dodging a bullet), I let him down easy because I didn’t want a relationship then/now and/or with someone in the military (not to make it a general view on people in, my brothers in the Army so he’s told me no lol), and he began to harass me at work. Constantly trying to get close to me, literally throwing tickets in my face, coming up to me singing love songs, and attacking me verbally everytime I asked him to stop talking to me like that. It was genuinely so disrespectful, even the waitresses started trying to get me to waitress. But apparently he’s done this to girls there before.
But then I started getting followed, but so subtle to the point I never got any evidence. Like following me around (his car is a certain model and color, it’s way too different for it to be anyone else), texting me off different numbers, sitting down my road for hours. Let me put into perspective he lived (and now that I moved it’s longer) 30+ minutes from me.
So I ended up quitting, because I literally would throw up endlessly before work. I tried to quit like 2 weeks before I actually did, but my boss said “no you’re not” even though she can’t legally say that. so I stayed for like 2 more weeks, dealing with the same harassment they “spoke to him about”.
But when I mentioned it to my parents they told me I was crazy. So i thought I was and never went to the cops (I’ve had to go before for getting death threats, and they told me I was lying. Literally didn’t want to go anyways because no one would’ve believed me.)
I dont know what happened to him and I don’t care. However,
It’s been months, but now i’m left to deal with paranoia, insomnia and crippling anxiety. I have such bad paranoia that it’s turned into agoraphobia, to where I haven’t been able to get a job at all because i’m too scared to leave the house. My mom says it’s cause i’m lazy, but I’m literally scared shitless it’ll happen again. I can’t do it again.
I don’t have the funds for therapy, and my mom doesn’t and never cared. I’m only 18, everything’s so new to me but I’m stuck. I tried meds for anxiety, but this is unlike any anxiety i’ve had ever.
Even typing this and posting it makes me nervous that he might see it.

2024.06.09 20:42 CheifStalker The Nuclear Option

Recently played through New Vegas again for the first time since the game came out, so before all the DLC dropped. I beat it all blind and found out that you can get two additional areas affter Lonesome Road if you nuke the NCR and Legion.
Don't have a save from back then because I like to make the game interesting by having one save. As such, I'm gonna have to do another playthrough, apparently holding off on Benny lets me get a reset with the Legion and NCR after nuking them, so I'll do that.
Endpoint of this is that I'm asking everyone for a wacky build I can work towards on my second playthrough, I already sent with a "I am become death" build by specifically going for laser weapons and getting specific weapons that centres around that, so I'm thinking either normal guns or melee this time. Hell, explosives might be fun too. Go wild.
Any ideas y'all?

2024.06.09 20:42 N0B0DY_U_KN0W Spectrum Won't Unlock My Phone 😡

So it's my mother's account but she died 2 yrs ago. Although I'm an authorized user on the account Spectrum won't let me make any major changes to the account, such as changing the name on the account, changing the phone number, etc. In a way I can see why Spectrum won't for security reasons but I offered to provide proof of my mother's death and I'm next of kin. So I decided to leave and go to another carrier. The phone on the account, a Galaxy Note 10+, is paid fully paid for was planning to use as a trade-in. But my son's phone broke and I decided to give him the phone to use until he gets a new one. Thing is, he uses (I believe it's called) TextNow and the phone needs to be unlocked for him to use their SIM. I reached out to Spectrum and as expected, "we need to speak with the account holder". So anyone know how I can get the phone unlocked in this situation?

2024.06.09 20:41 Lost-Beach3122 Sketch where "the real" God & Satan react to Hazbin Hotel

Hell
Scene: A luxurious, albeit hellish, living room. Red and black décor with gothic furniture. Satan and Beelzebub are lounging on a couch. A big screen TV is playing "Hazbin Hotel."
Satan: (laughing) Beelzebub, get a load of this! They're saying I have a daughter!
Beelzebub: (chuckling) Oh, I know, right? Everyone knows you have a son. What's his name again? Damien?
Satan: Yeah, Damien. Not Charlie. I mean, Charlie's a nice name and all, but really?
Beelzebub: (pointing at the screen) Look at that! They're just hanging out like it's a coffee shop. Where's the eternal torment?
Satan: (laughing harder) Seriously! What do they think Hell is, a day spa? I've worked hard to maintain a certain level of, you know, misery and suffering.
Beelzebub: (mockingly) "Come to Hell, enjoy our 5-star torture chambers!"
Satan: (wiping tears of laughter) And this part— you die again in Hell? I mean, the whole point is that this is it! No do-overs, no second chances.
Beelzebub: (snorting) Right? They act like Hell is just a pitstop. "Hey, I'm just passing through, looking for more death." Good luck with that!
Satan: (leaning back) If people really knew what Hell was like, they'd be... well, horrified. Not planning on opening a hotel.
Beelzebub: (laughing) Imagine the Yelp reviews: "Two stars, fire was too hot, screams of the damned kept me up all night."
Satan: (grinning) "Room service was slow, but the torture devices were top-notch."
Beelzebub: (shaking his head) Singing and dancing demons? That’s rich. When was the last time you saw Asmodeus break into a show tune?
Satan: (smirking) Last time I checked, the only singing we do is the wailing of lost souls.
Beelzebub: (mock singing) "Welcome to Hell, the happiest place on Earth!"
Satan: (snapping his fingers) That should be our new slogan. We could put it on T-shirts.
Beelzebub: (laughing) And coffee mugs. "Hell: Where the coffee's always burning."
Satan: (mockingly sentimental) Oh, look at that. A touching moment in Hell. Because nothing says eternal damnation like a heart-to-heart.
Beelzebub: (pretending to wipe a tear) It’s just so... inaccurate.
Satan: (turning off the TV) Well, that was entertaining. Nice to see people have such wild imaginations about what we do here.
Beelzebub: (grinning) Yeah, if only they knew the truth.
Satan: (laughing) If they did, they’d be too scared to even think about making a show like that.
Beelzebub: (stretching) So, back to torturing souls?
Satan: (standing up) You know it. Let’s remind them what Hell is really about.
Heaven
Scene: A beautiful, serene living room in Heaven. White clouds, golden light, and ethereal furniture. God and the archangels Gabriel and Michael are seated on a divine couch, watching a big screen TV.
God: (with a remote, clicking through channels) Let's see what's popular down on Earth these days. Ah, here’s one—"Hazbin Hotel."
Gabriel: (concerned) I’ve heard about this. Some of the depictions are... controversial.
Michael: (light-heartedly) Oh, how bad can it be? It’s just a cartoon, right?
The TV shows the scene where angels are depicted as ruthless and psychotic, carrying out violent acts against the souls of Hell.
God: (horrified) What in My name is this?
Gabriel: (covering his mouth) Oh no, this is worse than I thought.
Michael: (eyes wide) They think we’re... murderous psychopaths?
God: (sighing) This makes the heretics of the Middle Ages look like saints. Where do they come up with this stuff?
Gabriel: (indignant) Heaven and Hell are nothing alike! How can they portray them as basically the same? The only difference is one has a bunch of clouds and the others is just fire.
Michael: (shaking his head) I mean, come on! We’ve got fluffy clouds and harps and the ability to wish for anything in the entire world, not fire and brimstone and torture.
God: (rubbing temples) This show is making it look like I can’t run a proper afterlife. If the people behind this aren’t Satanists, they definitely hated Sunday school.
Michael: (trying to lighten the mood) Maybe they just need a better scriptwriter. Or a divine intervention in their writers' room.
God: (sighing deeply) This is what I get for giving humanity free will and creativity. They create... this.
Gabriel: (turning to God) Should we... do something about this?
Michael: (grinning) Like sending a cease-and-desist from Heaven?
God: (chuckling despite Himself) Tempting, but no. Let them have their fun. We know the truth, and those who seek it will find it.
Gabriel: True. But still, it's hard to watch.
Michael: (laughing) Imagine if we had a heavenly response show. "Heaven Hotel: The Real Story."
God: Now that would be something. But for now, let's just hope people don’t take it too seriously.
Gabriel: (groaning) Okay, now that’s just insulting.
Michael: (laughing) I think we need to change the channel before Gabriel has a meltdown.
God: (changing the channel) Agreed. Let’s find something a little more... accurate.
The TV switches to a nature documentary, and everyone relaxes.
God: (smiling) Ah, much better. Nothing like the wonders of My creation to cleanse the palate.
Gabriel: (sighing in relief) Thank Heaven for that.
Michael: (grinning) Literally.

2024.06.09 20:40 used_up_old_whore How do I move forward after fucking up my life?

Up until the age of 22, I (27F, almost 28) thought aging as a woman, especially as a single woman, was worse than death and my plan was always to kill myself before I got old. I always thought no one would ever want to be in a relationship with me so I stuck with the suicide plan. I found a really strong passion for something at the age of 18 so the plan then became do the passion until I am starting to age and then kill myself.
At the age of 23, I overcame my social anxiety and learned social skills and I learned how to make new friends and suddenly men started becoming interested in me for my personality and I realised all this time that I was beautiful and I had a great personality and I could easily find someone. I was really happy at this age but I still went after inner fulfilment because I felt like you can't rely on other people for your happiness so I took on a series of really difficult jobs related to my passion that had me stuck in a room working and not meeting people for several years. During this time I got hit on a lot the few times I did leave the house and I was beautiful during these years but I kept going after the passion.
At the age of 26 I lost my looks. All the fat in my face went away because of aging and what's left is a really ugly looking mature looking face. I also had a mental breakdown at this age because I realised I had thrown away my mid 20s, youth and beauty on a career instead of focusing on my personal life, social life and finding a relationship. Now I am ugly and I feel like I either have to die alone or settle for someone I would never have chosen if I was younger. I have never had a relationship before.
I don't know what to do with my life anymore. I feel extremely depressed and negative and people sense that when I'm hanging out with them. I've stopped talking to my friends or leaving the house. I think about killing myself all the time. I went to a therapist and it didn't help, she just said "women don't age until they are 40, it's in your head" which is absolute bullshit. I can't afford to see another therapist now. I'm stuck because when I think about learning to be happy alone and living the rest of my life single I fantasise about suicide because I would rather die than live the rest of my life alone. When I tell myself I can still find someone, I don't believe it because I see my reflection in the mirror and its hideous. And then I go out in to the world and men don't look at me or approach me anymore. And when I researched the ages celebrities found love, all of the white women (I am white) seemed to find love in their mid 20s, end up with someone shit or they never found anyone at all. I feel like maybe there is a tiny bit of hope at 28 and 29 but I would need to have a great and happy personality for that. But how do I be happy when I am so sad about aging, my appearance, the idea of being single forever or settling and the fact that I have wasted my youth and beauty on a career I no longer care about?

Book recap & discussion: Izabella St James ‘Bunny Tales: Behind Closed Doors at the Playboy Mansion’ - Prologue and Chapters 1-3
PROLOGUE
Izabella reflects on meeting a "$20 million-a-movie club" actor at a restaurant who finds her "astounding", he calls her the next day and they talk forever. He's extremely into her until he learns that Izabella lived at the Playboy Mansion, she says he was livid and couldn't be associated with her as her Playboy past would taint his reputation.
She feels defensive about his judgment of her Playboy Mansion past, she was letting go of the steering wheel of life and exploring herself and freedom. She says to understand each other we should know where each other has come from. So here she is to set the record straight and let you be the judge if she really did ruin her life by living as one of Hef's 7 girlfriends.
1: MADE IN POLAND
Izabella was born in Krakow, Poland. She has a handful of paragraphs talking about the beauty of Poland, the spirited and resilient character of Polish people, and she lists notable people of Poland. She writes about how Poland was the most devastated eastern European country of World War II, and is home to some of the most horrific places in the world, including Auschwitz. Her dad was a baby when his family had to flee their home after catching fire during crossfire between Germany and Russia, and he lost his brother later to a landmine. Izabella's grandpa was arrested and sent to Auschwitz for helping Jewish people - he survived but was a ghost of himself.
After WWII, she says Poland fell on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain and became a communist country - this was the setting of her childhood until age 11. She says her dad had a high up, well-paid position at a factory and their family of three had a better life than most people. TVs, cars, clothes etc. were scarce and expensive, but Izabella's family had a car, considered a luxury, and she was spoiled by her parents with lots of toys and a snack bar in her room. She's loved animals all her life and has never wanted to eat meat.
Izabella goes on many vacations with her parents in their car to other eastern European countries, but are put through unbearable screenings when they cross borders. Her dad is pressured by the Communist party to reveal names of anti-communist staff at his factory and his job is threatened. They manage to secure a special visa to visit Greece on a bus, and they plan not to return. They have to leave their possessions and everything behind as to not raise suspicions, so Izabella has to say goodbye to her dog and it breaks her heart. She lives in Greece with her parents for a year and she loves it, she learns to speak Greek. Her parents struggle with making money and starting over, and Izabella appreciates their sacrifices so that she can have more opportunities than communist Poland could offer - she's sure moving into the Playboy Mansion is not an opportunity her parents had in mind, but she's about being receptive and exploring new opportunities with the freedom her parents helped secure for her.
2: CANADA, EH
Izabella's family's immigration request is approved to move to Canada. They are sent to Prince George, British Columbia - a small lumber town in the Rocky Mountains. They all have to learn English, now Izabella's third language. Her parents don't see a future there so they get a van and the three drive across Canada to Toronto, where they've heard of more opportunities. They settle in Kitchener-Waterloo and Izabella starts grade 8 (age 13-14), she says even though she missed grades 5-7 moving around the world she was not behind as the Polish communist curriculum was so advanced. She starts to learn French, her fourth language. She makes friends, dates lots of boys, loses her virginity, and gets straight A's. She can't do frog dissection, and realizes she can't be a doctor, so she decides to enter the "only other traditionally prestigious and respectable profession", and become a lawyer.
She turns down scholarships to other universities and chooses McGill University in Montreal, "widely regarded as the 'Canadian Harvard'". She lives with 2 of her best friends and says they were legends in their neighborhood as 3 tall blonde housemates. She enjoyed experimentation and parties and trips with her friends. She says 'never a shortage of men' for her and her friends, and one guy she dates Keith is head over heels for her but they break up due to school demands for her and pilot training demands for him - they remain close friends. She dates a footballer Ryan from another university but they break up due to distance. She dates a guy named Sean who dotes on her, but hooks up with Ryan secretly whenever they are in the same town - Sean finds out and calls Ryan's new girlfriend and tells her too. Izabella swears off dating for a while after this fiasco.
Izabella is a double major in political science and history. She adds humanistic studies to be a more "well-rounded person" – studying Spanish, philosophy, classical music, and geography. She dreams of becoming an ambassador, a diplomat, and decides on law specializing in international affairs. She finds out Keith, her pilot ex - died in a plane crash flying his girlfriend on a snowy night. There is a major ice storm of 1998 with 5 days of no power in Montreal, she's had enough of the cold winter weather. Her grandmother passes away in Poland. The deaths of Keith and her grandmother make her consider life, and that there is more out there to experience and enjoy than just studying. She wants a change and to be somewhere warmer. When considering law schools, she weighed reputation and the lifestyle of the area equally - and applies to 2 schools in California. Pepperdine University in Malibu is the first to accept her application, her parents co-sign for her student loans, and she makes the move.
3: LEGALLY BLONDE
Izabella says her first year of studying at law school is a mix of satisfaction and disappointment. She’s not dated since the Ryan-Sean drama, but starts to notice a tattooed tall guy at Pepperdine “only in LA can you find a hot tattooed guy who is presumably intelligent”. The guy manages to introduce himself to Izabella after a few sightings, his name is Justin and they fall in love. This other girl wants to date Justin, and one night after Izabella drives home from a bar where that girl saw Izabella with Justin - she smells burning rubber and discovers someone ripped off her cars’ windshield wipers and stuffed them in the exhaust pipe. She believes it to be that girl but can’t prove it so lets it go.
Izabella says there is not a large international law market in LA, so she connects with someone in entertainment law who works for Playboy for an interview. It goes well but she decides to go study law in Spain over the summer where she can also work on her Spanish skills. She applies for another school loan and is off to study in Madrid for 2 months capped off with a 2-week vacation in Italy, Justin joins her and they have a great time but are “ready to kill each other” by the end of the trip. She returns to Pepperdine for her second year, she stays on top of her studies but also hits the Malibu beaches and hottest clubs in Hollywood all the time. She only makes 2 friends in law school as she says everyone is competitive, thinks they are the smartest, and if you are attractive as well as smart people will resent you.
Izabella is out with one of her two hot-confident-smart-but-also-has-personality friends from university, Vivian, one night, when they go to the same restaurant as Hugh Hefner. It was the year 2000, and in 1.5 years time Izabella will be part of Hef's ‘party posse’ – but at the time of this first sighting she would never believe that was in her future. Hef is sitting with Buffy Tyler, Katie Lohmann, and Doctor “Feelgood” Mark Saginor. Izabella says she sees a lot of girls going to introduce themselves to Hef and she thinks it is embarrassing, but Vivian wants to go say hi so Izabella reluctantly goes with her. They are invited to join the table, Izabella is fascinated by Buffy and Katie and wonders what their life and setup with Hef is like. Mark Saginor takes Izabella and Vivian’s numbers and invites them ‘Fun in the Sun’ on Sunday.
Izabella is nervously excited to visit the Playboy mansion. She says her ex, Sean, always said she should be a Playmate, and at McGill guys called her “Pam Anderson’s little sister” – not that she looked like Pamela Anderson at all, just because Pam was huge in Canada and “any girl with blonde hair and boobs was always compared to her”. At ‘Fun in the Sun’, it is not as wild as she had imagined. She says hi to Buffy Tyler who she finds cool and friendly. Izabella asks if she lives at the mansion and Buffy says she shares a room with Katie Lohmann and that it’s a lot of fun. Later on, Izabella notices one of Hef’s girlfriends “surrounded by a group of wanna-be Girlfriends”, the girlfriend comes over to Izabella and tells her she is pretty – Izabella says this girlfriend will later be her roommate at the mansion and partner in adventure. (Most likely Tiffany Holliday).
Izabella and Vivian are invited to mansion parties and attend many together – Vivian says they should call and ask to be invited back to Fun in the Sun, Izabella does not tell Vivian that she has been receiving invites to Fun in the Sun all along. Izabella doesn’t go to the Sunday ‘FITS’ as to not upset Justin, and she is fine with just going to big mansion parties. Izabella is working for a professor helping with a book on international business transactions, but she realizes she would have to move East where there is a broader international law curriculum to continue her studies as planned.
By the end of her second year at Pepperdine, Izabella and Justin take a break as he will be studying for the bar this summer and Izabella is ready to travel again. She gets another school loan to study at Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland – “one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Europe”. She studies in cafes, visits the underground salt city Royal Salt Mine at Wieliczka, and has a deeply memorable and heart-breaking trip to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps where her grandfather had been sent. Justin calls her over the summer and it’s nice, but she decides she is not ready to jump back into their relationship.
She returns to her last semester in LA and is excited to resume attending mansion parties, and Fun in the Sun again now that she doesn’t have to worry about upsetting a boyfriend. Justin remains close and she draws comfort from that. Attending the parties at the mansion is her only plans in regards to Hef. “I never imagined what the future would bring”.
Chapter 4 coming soon

2024.06.09 20:29 HOTSpower have Arfus or Lich King become better Legendaries with time?

I'm thinking in terms how how the various Lich King cards interact with different deck types...
1) Death Coil has always seemed pretty decent
2) Death Grip just ramps up with stronger minions like Titans getting added
3) Obliterate's so good it was made a common Death Knight spell, similarly ramps as hard removal for stuff like titans, or the traditional 4/12 dragon
4) Death and Decay has always been pretty good for those wide boards
5) Anti-Magic shell as w/ Obliterate got made a common spell, great for doing stuff like protecting Titans from Obliterate or similar targeted spells
6) Doom Pact is great non-targeted hard removal for big minions, and with larger initial decks due to Prince Renthal (40 cards) or boosters (Fae Lin, Rivendare) the risk of fatigue is less
7) Army of the Frozen Throne similarly - you're at less risk of milling, and presumably the doubled stats from Lor'Themar Theron would also just be thrown onto the board very quickly if you made a minion-based deck. Obviously works better w/ deathrattle/titan-based decks than battlecry ones, and I wouldn't want to risk doing it until all my other important cards (Headless Horseman) were in hand.
I got thinking about this since you need to own Arfus to play this excavate-based twist hero which looks like a lot of fun. Lich King is similarly needed and could be useful too...
These two aren't likely to get offered full-dust refunds though so it's a big choice to be making. They are both undead so you could in theory just discover them with existing undead-generation cards (Horseman, Farm Hand, Toysnatching Geist) or in turn discovering those with Death-Rune discovering ones (Necrotic Mortician or Primus) so that's largely what I've been doing, just enjoying them when they show up but not making them a primary part of the deck since so many of the options are late-game plays which just clutter the hand and don't help me survive long enough to use them.
Lich King seems like he could be a better investment if doing an excavate-based deck since reviving a taunt with reborn and life leech who generates you cards has a lot of pluses... but people tend to prefer a Primus or one of the new cards and not this old one for that, so I dunno.

2024.06.09 20:28 MrsCyanide How do I tell my psychiatrist I’ve possibly become dependent on benzos?

So I(21F) have been prescribed clonazepam 1mg(as needed she said take it for emergencies or severe insomnia) since last year following my mother’s suicide. It helped a lot, especially since I’ve had a life long history with panic disorder and general anxiety disorder. The grief really made it so much worse since I was going through a horrible period and I also have ptsd. I was switched to a different provider 2 months after I started seeing her due to her leaving and opening her own practice.
My new psychiatrist has been incredibly helpful throughout everything this last year. He got me tested for adhd, put me on adderall(which helped my life a ton) and really listens to me. He never uses his position of power as a provider to override my needs as a patient. If I need something and think it’s the best option for me, he will listen. He’s been great, and kept refilling my clonazepam every month or so.
Until the beginning of this year I rarely took clonazepam. Maybe 5 times a month at MOST. But since January(my moms birthday was New Year’s Day) and my moms death anniversary in April, I’ve been taking them much more often due to panic attacks and grief coming back up full force. I didn’t notice an issue until I started feeling super foggy headed constantly and irritable. I couldn’t eat or sleep because of how much I missed my mom, but the benzos were causing rebound symptoms. Now if I go 4 days without it I start to get mild withdrawal symptoms(possibly, idk if they’re partially psychosomatic or not). My head pounds and I get anxiety and have restless legs. The past 3 weeks I’ve taken them almost every other day. I know it’s a potent drug with a long half life.
I’m realizing I’m stuck in a loop now and I hate the way I feel. I don’t take the meds to get high or take more than prescribed, but I don’t want to be dependent on them. It’s affecting my life completely. I want to talk to my psychiatrist about tapering and getting an early refill(I have 2 left till the end of this month) but I’m scared that if I tell him he’ll completely cut me off or something which scares me bc I can’t afford detox if needed and I’m scared of withdrawals. I don’t want him to label me as drug seeking, when I really do need these meds occasionally but just got stuck in a bad headspace. I really want to taper off and get back to the point where I have maybe 5-10 prescribed every 3 months for emergencies only. Since going to therapy I’ve been getting better at managing acute anxiety, so I want to take a break from benzos and get my brain back on track.
I have a follow up appointment with him tomorrow and plan on bringing this up. What’s the best way to go about this? I want to feel better…

2024.06.09 20:27 Tammie1404 Advice appreciated on an encounter with a young pitbull

I have been getting my nails done from a lady for 8 years.Late last year she got an 'American bully' as she called it. Maybe it's an XL, I'm not too sure. She got the pup at 8 weeks from a friend. I must mention that she does the nails from her home. When I saw the dog first she was so cute, as puppies are. She was friendly and playful. Never been too keen on pitbulls, but she seemed OK.
I must also mention that I recently joined this page after I fell into a rabbit hole after doing a LOT of research after a girl living close to me was killed by an XL bully (23 year old girl in Limerick)
As I get my nails done every 3 weeks or so, I saw this dog grow up, she was always friendly and would come out and initiate play. One day while going into the house, I hadn't seen the dog the previous time I got my nails done, so it was maybe 6 or 7 weeks since I saw the dog, the dog came out to the hall and she had grown so much, she was massive, I put my hand down as normal to say hello, she backed up, did a low growl and gave me a death stare. She looked like she was sizing me up. I was chatting to the owner, all the while this dog is killing me with her eyes. The owner noticed the dog was the friendly playful pup and said 'oh she is tired'. The instant fear that over took my body was immense. I thought to myself this is why I don't like them, but then on the other hand telling myself not to be stupid, she was only a pup (approx 8/9 months old). So we go to the room down the hall where she does my nails, leaves the door open and the dog comes straight in, sits right next to me and appears to be on guard. She has this (don't know how to word it) sneaky look on her face, like in her eyes. And I cannot wait to get the hell out of there. I calmed myself down once I left and reminded myself that she is a pup, there is nothing to be afraid of. So I forgot all about it within an hour, until it's time to get my nails done again.
I arrive this next day and the dog legit does the same freaking thing to me. She is not playful nor friendly, she is damn right scary and looks into my soul.
I said I need a new nail technician until this lady texts to say she has changed venue and is doing the nails elsewhere. It make me wonder if something happened to another client.
Firstly I would like to thank ye all for the information. I never knew half of what's happening in the world with these dogs.
Secondly, is this normal for a pit pup?. 🤔 is there an average age that they attack? I've read somewhere that they don't reach maturity until 2.5 years and that's when to watch out.
Do ye all think that the pup was going to bite me if provoked?.
I have a Cavachon who is a little gem of a dog and she befriended an Akita. At the start I was petrified, but the owner has her well trained and she has great recall. He calmed my anxiety and now when the dog sees me she comes running across a field. It doesn't stop me being slightly anxious with her, should I be?.

2024.06.09 20:22 Revolutionary-Run-41 Demon The Fallen, more interesting than I though it would be

I was checking some stuff I never saw in WoD, and one of them, that really surprised me, was Demon the Fallen. If playing Hunter is alike playing the winchesters of Supernatural, playing Fallen is like playing Castiel ou Crowley. So Im sharing what I understood and what I liked.
The lore
There was a God, he created angels, to help him create and maintain reality, each angel was part of a house (a group) and each one had a purpose like: - Enforce God`s laws - Built and Shape land so things could live on earth - Create and shape life and animals - Inpire Humans - Control Fate - Renew the old and useless, decomposing stuff to its basic ingredients and returning it to earth so new stuff could be made.
and more. At the beggining humans were immortal, everything was beautiful and working. God is very much like The God Emperor Of Manking of 40k, since he has absolute power, but makes some very questionable decisions. Some of them, like removing immortality of humans as punishment, that caused things like angels of renew becoming angels of death and hating their jobs, caused a rebellion lidered by lucifer (treat him like cayne from VtM, ignore what the book says, dont make him a living character on your campaign, make him a mystery).
So God punished them, by doing something, or better nothing (the house that was the most proud and enforced gods laws were punished with nothing, he just changed the house name to Devils and ignored them, what was ironic as fuck since the most proud house wasnt even worth a punishmentl) and sent them to the Abyss, its like hell, there is no humans, there is constant suffering and I think its also like a sensory depravation chamber.
But shit happens, and some can get out, but they need a host to exist on earth. If they take a human, their sould meld to various degrees, to a person simply gaining powers and having nightmares of hell, to them having the fallen voice on his head, to it basically being the fallen with human memories.
The human soul is necessary to contain the madness of being so much time in hell, otherwise their sorrow pain and rage would bring them to madness, trying to inflict so much pain as they felt or something like that. The human memories helps them to see how reality is beautful and to anchor them to something that isnt CONSTANT SUFFERING.
Demons that go into objects are called earthbound and go crazy, trying to destroy the world and control the angels by trying to find their true name. But thats not the only treat, God isnt here anymore, or at least doesnt want to be found, neither is lucifer (lucifer was never in hell, for being the leader, he was sent to somewhere far worse, some say los angeles).
And there are fallen trying to take the place of god, some trying to find lucifer, some trying to destroy the world, since without someone to take care of it, its fated to demise, some want forgiveness from God at any means, and some just want to know WHAT DA FUK IS GOING ON.
You can do whatever you want, even embracing your human life and at least trying to live as a human. You will at the very least always be trying to fight back the torment, the memories of hell that drive you to do bad stuff, and may cause your powers to get corrupted, causing damage instead of healing or destroying and corrupting things around.
So I said you get powers, what powers are those ? besides the common ones, humanity (universal translation, getting truth out of everyone near, change their perception of you) and fundament (manipulation of the laws of physics, like manipulate gravity, innertia (throw things fast or stop bullets in mid air)) they have their own group of powers (lore) based on their houses, for example the slayers (death angels) have lores to cause death and decay (Lore of Death), summon control and unkill people (lore of spirits), go to the spirit world become intangible (Lore of Realms).
Some that I like personally is the lore of portals, that allows the fun mechanic of going through a doowindow and exiting something unconnected, like entenring from the front door of a house, and exiting in the bathroom, enter a police car and ending on the back of your friends car, entering any door in a corner and ending in vegas.
But what do you need to use them ? Is it free ? Eeeeh, no. It requires Faith, a part of divine sparkle, that comes from the human soul. You dont have it nor can generate it in your own, you used to receive infinite amounts of it from God, but now you need to receive it from humans.
You may get from them when you convince them you are supernatural (its hard then you think, just showing off powers may cause violent reactions on observers), rituals forming a cult, or getting thralls (people that pray to you and give you constant faith every morning, - for example, you start small, like being a miracle healer, that every time it meets a certain burnt victim, you use the Lore of Flesh to undo a little of the scars, it progresses more and more, until you reach the point where the person is ready for a contract, you say the last and biggest step will need a price, it will forever bind them together, by body and mind, you will never be able to meet in person again (you can do it to protect her if you want) and you can ask something like praying to you every morning while drinking a glass of water, if she ever fails the contract is broken and she becomes like she was in the beggining). You can do it in a wholesome way, or be a demon and help a model who wants to keep her looks and require her to make sacrifices to you.
You dont just use faith to activate your lores, but use it for stuff like NOT GETTING OLDER, the aging process is halted while you have at least one point of faith. The ammount of good or bad stuff adds ticks to a Torment counter, that will add or remove Permanent Torment from your character. Having higher torment, makes so the chance of your powers being corrupted is higher, and sometimes you will want to use the tormented version of skills on purpose (you can just do it, but it will add 1 temporary torment to your character), in case you need it. Like you are on a battle, and is an angel of healing, and you just need to convert healing into damaging otherwise you cant really damage stuff.
Fallen can communicate between themselves and between their tralls from anywhere in the same plane, if they know their names and can speak out loud. Actually everything needs speaking, if you cant you cannot use your lores.
True names are kinda of a big part of this as well, that is the name that everything has, and encompasses everything that thing is. By knowing somethings true name you can basically control it at will, making it a slave or even transforming it into another thing. There may be indirect investigatory battles, where two sides try to investigate one another, trying to get hints of personality to try to discover who the fallen is and their true name, before the other does.
In summary, I think its a very fun book, a very fun rpg, it has its own flavor and challenges and I would love for more people to know it. Im kinda anxious on V5, if we ever get a demon book I would love to have at least of some of this flavor back. I feel its like playing a mage, but with more purpose, where you need to interact more with the world to gain something from it, by either helping people and having a cult, or doing devilish faustian deals with people to get their faith.
*Dont know where to put it, but there is also apocaliptic form, you for a short time burns through faith like crazy and become a reflex of your divine form, its almost immune to anything, is either angelic or devilish looking depending of your torment, and will make people around go crazy in awe or terror depending of it.

2024.06.09 20:19 Nan0Fighter Vampire Mother & Daughter PART 3 [F4M] [Vampire] [Feeding] [Betrayal]

Summary: Roxy manages to capture a human and she brings that human as an offering to her mother. Her mother accepts the offering and spares the listener. Now, it is time for Roxy to turn the listener into a vampire
Usage: You can use this script wherever you want as long as you credit me. I would love to listen the finished audio, please don't forget to send a link
Previous Part: https://www.reddit.com/ASMRScriptHaven/comments/1d78f4w/vampire_mother_daughter_part_2_f4m_vampire/
__________________________________________________________________________________________
(Roxy opens the door and enters the room)
Hello, my love! I’m back.
(She gets closer to the listener)
I was afraid that my mother would hurt you when I was gone. You are okay, right? Let me take a look at you.
(She starts examining the listener)
Well, looks like she didn’t touch you. You seem to be… Wait, what’s that?
(She sees the bite mark on the listener’s neck)
I can’t believe this! She couldn’t keep her filthy fangs away from you, huh? I am so sorry my love.
(She starts stroking the listener’s face)
I am here now. Don’t worry. From now on she can’t hurt you. I will always be at your side. I’ll never leave your side again.
(Pause)
She talked about me? Oh, really? Tell me my love, what did she say?
(Pause)
Lies… Lies and more lies. I hope you didn’t believe anything she said.
(Pause)
She thinks I’m defenseless?
[Laugh]
If only she knew… If only she knew how wrong she is.
(Pause)
Let me tell you the biggest lie about her… She is not my mother! Imagine my suprise when I found out the truth. For years, I’ve lived with her. For years, I’ve called this filthy liar “mother”. I learned that my real mother died long time ago. It seems that she married my dad for his money. I searched her past and nothing. She’s not from a wealthy or royal family. I think she saw te opportunity and seduced my dad. I also believe that she’s not telling me truth about my father’s death. She told me he was killed by a vampire hunter. I don’t have evidence but I believe that she killed my father and acquired all of my families riches. The question is why didn’t she get rid of me? What’s she planning? I’ve asked around, talked with the members of my clan but nothing. Either they are turning a blind eye or they really don’t know anything.
[Sigh]
Anyway… I was furious. My whole life was a lie and that’s because of her. I wanted to kill her but I wasn’t powerful enough. I needed to get stronger, so I started hunting. Every night, she thinks that I’m at the library reading books but actually I’m out there… Hunting! I’ve killed and hunted so many humans that I’ve lost count. I’ve gained the strenghth I want and that old fool still thinks that I’m defenseless. The first part of my plan is complete. Now, let’s talk about the second and the third part. The second part is turning you into a vampire. I need you!
(She pulls out a special dagger from her back)
See this! This is a special dagger crafted many centruies ago. I am going to use this to kill my mother but I have a problem. In order to activate this dagger’s power, I need another vampire. See this little red gem inside the handle. In order to unleash the true power of this gem we need to hold this dagger together. That’s why I need you. I need you to help me achieve my plan.
(Pause)
What are you talking about? LOVE? What love?
(Pause)
What? You thought I loved you? Well, you are good looking, I’ll give you that but that’s it. Sorry to break your heart dear but I treated you kindly because I needed you on my side. I’m not in the mood for love right now. All I need is revenge. I have to finish her before she understands I’m plotting something.
(Pause)
What happens if you refuse to help me? Well, I’ll leave you to my mother and she’ll kill you. If that’s what you want, I’m fine with that. Don’t forget! You are just a tool in my mission, not an essential. My mother will keep bringing new humans after you. I can always find a new one but you really have no choice here. Do you really want to become her meal?
(Pause)
Alright! I’m glad you made the right choice. First things first, I have to turn you into a vampire. In order to do that, I am going to bite you then you are going to drink my blood. The process will take some time. When you wake up, you will be powerless, weak. I’ll feed you with my own blood. This might take a day or more than that. Don’t worry, my dear mother won’t disturb us. She’s pretty busy with her new prey right now. After you manage to gather some strength we’ll move on to next phase in my plan. While she’s sleeping, we are going to enter her room. I have a gun and a single silver bullet. I am going to wound her with that silver bullet. She’ll be too weak to defend herself. Is everything clear up to this point?
(Pause)
Okay, because here comes the tricky part. We are going to stab her with this dagger but in order to activate the gem’s power we have to hold it together and the gem must be covered in our blood. Here’s how we are going to do this. First we are going to cut our palms, then we are going to hold the blade together. Our blood will soak the gem and then it will unleash the dagger’s true power. And finally we are going to stab her with the dagger. Don’t forget! We must aim at her heart. Is everything clear?
(Pause)
Of course it’s going to be complicated. It’s a dagger made to kill vampires. Can you imagine something like that falling into a human’s hand. With precautions like that we don’t have to worry about anything. I have been studying this dagger for some time. It was made centruies ago by my ancestors. It is a weapon made by vampires to kill vampires. You see, we live in secrecy. We always lived like that but sometimes some of our family members like to cause chaos. When that happens it is our duty to finish them. We have very strict rules and laws and every vampire has to obey them. You can’t kill a vampire without a reason. If one of the members of our clan finds out about this, I’ll be kicked out of my clan and be forced to exile. That’s why I need you. I can’t just go out and find a random vampire to help me. I hope you can understand me.
(Pause)
Thank you and I’m very sorry if I broke your heart. I didn’t mean to play with your emotions. I just needed help and you were there. After we kill her, I’m going to pack my stuff and leave. If you want, you can come with me. I’ll teach you the ways of the vampire. I’ll teach you how to be a creature of the night.
(Pause)
Why do I make an offer like that? Well, I kind of feel guilty for tricking you into a situation like this. It’s the least I can do, right?
(Pause)
You don’t have to follow me, of course. You can go your own way and start building your new life as a vampire. The process is hard though, especially the first year. Your whole body will be adjusting to the change, you will be powerless and most of the time you will need help. That’s why I offered to help you but like I said, it’s up to you.
(Pause)
Yeah, you are right. Anyway, we’ll talk about that later. I’m asking you again. Did you understand the plan? There’s no room for error here. If we mess this up, she’ll kill both of us.
(Pause)
Yeah, me too. I already told you, I am not her real daughter. So… Are you ready?
(Pause)
First, I am going to bite you and drain your blood. After that, I am going to give you my blood. Shall we begin?
(Pause)
Okay, here I come… Don’t worry, It won’t hurt a lot.
[Vampire bite]
Lay your head on my lap. And now…
(She bites her wrist and spills all the blood to the listener’s mouth)
Drink my blood!
(Pause)
Close your eyes and let the change begin. Don’t resist… Don’t fight. Just accept it. It will be easier that way… I’ll be here when you wake up. Now, close your eyes and get ready to born again!
THE END

New Zealand flatworms in Scotland?
Hi there, I was in my garden today (I’m from Scotland) attempting to remove an old shed when I lifted up the floor boards and saw what I can only identify as a New Zealand flatworm. There are black eggs everywhere and I’m panicking quite a bit. I know they aren’t much of a threat to me, but I want to start caring for my garden and I don’t want them to harm the worms. I read that they really have any predators as birds don’t particularly like them. How do I get rid of them? Is it possible? This is a picture of the eggs I found. I didn’t want to disturb or kill any bugs so I began collecting snail and slug eggs I found along the way, but when I say the flat worm I was certain they shouldn’t be there. Thank you for your help.
