2024.05.17 07:55 Bossy_Aussie_ Anyone know the creater of this base?

Hi, I was looking for Wicker bases to get used to making designs and I found this ref one. I wasn't sure if it was f2u or not so I tried to go to the link and it was an amino post with a bunch of different wicker bases (with links to the people ofc). Thing is, the link for this one doesn't work so they're either off DA or they've changed their user. Can anyone help me if they know the creator of this base?
(Hope this is okay to put here)

2024.05.17 07:49 Joshh170 Hades 2 Update Patch Notes Revealed

Hades 2 developer Supergiant Games released new patch notes for the game's first early access update, which fixes several issues. Community feedback was key for the release of the new Hades 2 update, since Supergiant Games was able to find and fix several issues with the help of avid players.
The original Hades took the roguelike genre by storm in 2020, receiving critical acclaim and winning the hearts of players around the world. Although Supergiant Games typically does not develop sequels to its games, the popularity of Hades and the demand for more games like it encouraged the studio to develop Hades 2. Fans and critics were taken by surprise when Hades 2 was officially unveiled at The Game Awards 2022, and players were finally able to start their playthrough a year and a half later with the technical test, followed by the early access release of Hades 2 on Steam.
In a new Steam blog post, Supergiant Games revealed patch notes for the first Hades 2 early access update. The studio thanks fans for helping out with identifying issues that needed to be resolved, with most of the listed fixes being labeled as changes inspired by community feedback. Sprinting and dashing were formally addressed first in the patch notes, with Supergiant Games confirming that the Sprint and Dash mechanics are now more responsive and reliable following recovery animations. Sprinting is also faster, and certain abilities were rescaled to compensate for this change. In addition, the Swift Runner card now makes the player's Dash activate immediately, with the only downside being that the player's character will be invulnerable for slightly less time than before.
What's more, Hades 2 players may now gather from any resource point after unlocking the necessary Gathering Tool. The new Hades 2 update also applies adjustments and improvements to Driftwood resources, early encounters with Eris, mouse controls, and controller support.
The latest update applies a slew of quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes, including technical fixes for Hades 2's strange crashing issues. According to the patch notes, various issues involving ultrawide resolutions, keyboard inputs, and controller inputs were also addressed. As a result, players should have an easier time switching between controllers and a mouse and keyboard setup in Hades 2.
Supergiant Games confirms that a second Hades 2 update is being prepared with balance changes and adjustments based on what the development team has observed thus far. This means that players can expect more improvements in Hades 2, and community feedback will continue to be important in finding more issues that should be remedied before the game's eventual full launch.

2024.05.17 06:35 LucyAriaRose AITAH for passing out during a family gathering meant to introduce our new baby?

I am NOT the Original Poster. That is u/Ok-Resident2120. She posted in AITAH.
Thanks to u/Literally_Taken for the rec!

Do not comment on Original Posts. See rule 7. Also, this sub has a 7 day waiting period, ergo, the latest update is 7 days old.

Trigger Warnings: abuse; threatening a child
Mood Spoiler: distressing
Original Post: May 5, 2024
Okay, throwaway account
So, recently I(27F) had a beautiful baby girl with my husband(29M). She's my pride and joy, I love her more than I love myself. But, taking care of her has taken its toll on me. My husband promised the work would be 50/50 when we agreed we wanted children, but I don't feel that's being reflected by his actions this past month. It's gotten to the point where I can't even ask him to wash her up without him saying something along the lines of, "My paternity leave is short, I want to make the most of it by relaxing a bit. I'll help you out later." And I get it. His paternity leave is only 6 weeks while mine is 16 weeks, but my nether regions hurt like a bitch for a better part of two weeks after the birth and all he could do for me was occasionally burp her.
Now, my baby girl has gotten to a phase where she doesn't want to sleep. She'll sleep for an hour, but then she's up and back to crying and I have to get up and try to soothe her. It's been happening for a week now and I've gotten so little sleep that I'm nodding off while eating or doing tge laundry and stuff. Saturday was the month anniversary of my daughter's birth, so I decided to gather both sides of the family to meet her. (They hadn't met her prior because a)I wanted to rest as much as I could and b)I heard somewhere that you shouldn't be taking babies out and about when they're fresh out the womb cause they're more prone to illness then).
So, we had this gathering at my mother's house and all was well. Everyone was cooing over our baby, there was food, people were catching up or neeting for the 1st time. It was nice. But, I had gotten about 3 hours(generous estimate) of sleep in total the past week and I was starting to feel the effects of it. I was feeling lightheaded and clammy, but I didn't wanna make a scene so I tried to go to a bedroom to lie down. I didn't take 10 steps before my vision completely blacked out. I wasn't down for long, but I had fallen over which drew some attention. I explained to everyone who was concerned that I was fine and that I was just not getting enough sleep and I could see my husband visibly frown at that. They gave me some of the dessert my aunt made to get my sugar up and the party continued. I felt embarrassed about the whole thing, especially since everyone was still looking over me til we left, but it's whatever
What bothered me is my husband's reaction. When we got home, he started going off on me about how I "made him look bad" and like "he wasn't taking care of me". I was confused on how tf me passing out made HIM look bad, but he refused to explain himself and had a pity party for himself in the kitchen. I was still feeling bad, so I decided to leave him alone and just to go sleep, but he seems to have taken that as a sign that I don't care about his feelings. He's in my ear this morning about how I just ignored him to go sleep last night and how I didn't even put the baby to sleep before leaving. Is he right? AITAH here?
Update: So I've tried talking with him, but he's been ignoring me and the baby the last three hours. I'd usually wait longer, but I'm just too tired to deal with this right now. You guys were right, I do need help with this, and he's made it very clear he's not ready to help me yet, so I'm just going to go to my mom's place. I'm currently packing. I'm so done.
Relevant Comments:
Commenter: The whole point of paternity leave is for him to help out, not relax! He makes you work extra hard on taking care of the baby. Then, when you pass out, he sees himself as a victim who looks bad in front of his family? Your fainting is proof that he's NOT pulling his weight!
If you trust his parents, show them this post and get their backup in giving him the wake-up call he deserves.

OOP: His parents are genuinely nice people, so that may work. I'm starting to worry about my health at this point and he's refusing to listen to me.

Commenter: Also, and this is big- baby may have colic or a milk allergy. Neither are uncommon and her waking like this and the frequent crying are not the norm. You need to call your pediatrician asap. Also, if you're breastfeeding you may find you need to supplement. Sometimes we don't have enough. How often does she need diaper changes?

OOP: Thank you for the advice. I thought she was just being fussy. Someone else said that I should switch to bottlefeeding because it's easier to suckle, so I'll try that while I try and get an appointment. Absolutely insane how random Internet strangers have helped me more with my baby than my husband has. Thank you!!

Commenter: Please divorce this guy. He will continue making life harder for you. I raised my child alone, and I was stunned at how much easier it was once I got rid of the selfish man-baby who had been draining every last bit of my energy.
Plus you don't want your daughter growing up internalizing that treatment as what she should expect as a woman.
NTA. Obviously. Your narcissistic POS spouse needs to take that proverbial long walk off a short pier.

OOP: (written before the update on her post); I don't think divorce is the answer. With a new baby and all, I don't need the added mental, emotional, and financial stress divorce would bring. But I see where you're coming from. I'll see if he'd like to go to couples therapy with me or something. Maybe that would help.

Commenter: OP reading your post......has your husband always been this selfish and entitled?
HE wants to relax while on paternity leave after you gave birth to your beautiful baby girl?
HE looked bad when you almost fainted from lack of sleep? Did he even check on you to make sure you are ok? Have you told your family about this? you need rest and support during this time.

OOP: I don't remember too well. He was there when my vision came back, but when I was thinking clearer, it was just my mom and his mom by my side with the dessert.
And I do feel its unfair that I have to do most of the work, especially when he told me that he'd be helping me out. He promised this would be a team effort, yetI'm doing everything by myself. That's why I was so shocked that he was upset at me for passing out. The man I married would've been tending to me and taking me to bed, not yelling at me for something out of my control. It's like he just switched personalities as soon as our baby was born. He went from loving and supportive to this. I don't understand what happened.

Update Post 1: May 6, 2024 (Next Day)
Hi all, your comments were really helpful, so thank you!
Yesterday, before I could Uber to my mom's house, my sister offered to help me, so I'm staying with her instead. She's taking PTA to help me out with my girl, which I'm very grateful for. She also gave me sleep medicine that knocked me out for hours (I'm not sure if that was a good idea or not, but I slept long and well so I don't care.)
I woke up a few hours ago to tons, and I mean TONS, of messages from my husband. Like, the little app icon had 99+ on it. Here are some of the things he said(copy pasted):
You cant just up and fucking leve with my baby
Come back now pls let's talk abt it
Your actually so fuvking immature wth is wrong with you we have one argument and you fucking pretend like I've been beating you why the hell did you leave???? We can work this out like adults yet your choosing to be difficult like a little bitch
Pls just come back we will talk and sort this out and we can go back to being happy so come back
I miss my baby girl you can't just take her away
What if I call the police for kidnapping??? Would that teach you wat your doing is wrong???
I would screenshot, but it says this community doesnt allow attachments, so i can't. And I know it's a bit weird to tell yall what he's been texting me, but I'm mad right now and this feels therapeutic lol. I already sent the screenshots to his mom though!
As for my baby, I have an appointment to a paediatrician for Wednesday, but for now she's on formula since my breast milk quality isn't the best for understandable reasons. My sister said she wasn't as fussy as I described, so I really think the problem is with my milk. That or my sister wanted to make me feel better for sleeping, who knows. I'll wait for the doctor's opinion.
I'm not feeling 100% but I feel a whole lot more better than before. Thank you to everyone who showed concern! I think this will be the last update since I wanna not think too much about my husband rn.
Update Post 2: May 10, 2024
For all of you who wanted to know what his mother's reaction was, she yelled at him and he made that my problem. The things he's messaged me are vile. And even though MIL was mad at him and KNOWS what he's been saying to me, she still insisted that I go visit him face to face so we can work things out.
I don't really blame her. He's her son, of course she'd still want to help him, but still....With all the ways he's been threatening me and cussing me out, I really didnt want to see him, but I decided to go. Mostly because I needed the stuff that I left at our house.
I went with my sister for safety, obviously. We got there and he played with our baby, he offered to feed her (she wasn't hungry), just acting completely different from the man texting me about how much of a "heartless bitch" I am. I didn't really feel comfortable having him near me or the baby with how violent his texts were, but she's still his baby. I don't think the courts would favour him after I show his texts, but I thought I should rather be safe and allow him some form of contact before going to court. This was a mistake.
At the end of the visit, I decided I should go pack my stuff, since that was one of the only reason I agreed to come. But, I didn't feel comfortable not being there while he had my baby. Yeah, my sister was there and I trust her, but I'd rather watch her with my own eyes. So, my sister went upstairs to pack for me. As soon as she was gone, he started talking about "See? I'm good now I can take care of her." And other stuff but that wasn't the problem. Even if he became super dad, I wouldn't be able to see him the same. Not after all those messages he sent me.
I told him that and he got pissed at me. I was getting worried since my daughter was still in his arms, so I tried to deescalate his feelings. It didn't work and he started yelling at me for "being heartless" and "stubborn" and whatnot. I wasn't really focused on what he was saying, I was focused on my baby. I tried to reach out for her and he shoved me hard enough to fall back. My sister came down and tried to help, but he shoved her away too and ran to the guest room and locked himself and MY BABY in there. He refused to come out unless my sister left and i stayed behind. I can't tell y'all how scary it is to not know what's happening to your child.
It took officers almost 30 minutes to get him out, which pissed me off. Like I know they were probably trying to assess the danger or whatever but I just wanted my baby. In that 30 minute window he could've shaken her or threw her out the window or something and they were there asking him to come out like he was a child and not breaking down the door. She was fine, though, so I can't be too mad.
They didn't arrest him since "no harm was done" even though my sister and I have bruises to prove otherwise, but they held him outside while I packed my stuff. It actually bothers me that they didn't at least detain him, but there's not much I can do about it now. I don't think I'm going to go near him again. Not with my baby. I'm thinking of going to apply for that emergency custody thing yall were talking about.
This happened on Wednesday and I'm still shaken. It's really depressing, for a lack of better word, seeing how much he's changed. I really loved him and I felt he loved me too. How he's acting is crushing me. I feel deflated. My baby girl and my sister are really the only things keeping me going right now.
I'm sorry for the wall of text, it's just that texting this all out helps me feel better. But, I don't think I want to continue updating. Just know that we're splitting up. Thank you all for your support!!
Extra: after visiting the doctor, I've decided to just skip the hassle and formula feed. She seems happier with formula anyways.

2024.05.17 03:29 Lonelyjon Fiona Would Have Come Forward Regardless

This is just my opinion but seeing how fast Fiona jumped onto Piers Morgan's show just to confirm she is the real-life inspiration for the show means that no matter what she would have said something.
I think that even if Gadd had changed every detail about her and fictionalized more parts, we have to remember she literally was and still is obsessed with him. To her Gadd was an influential part of her life and someone she latched onto.
If there's any truth to her thinking Gadd was her boyfriend just imagine what must be going through her head. She's treating him like an old ex that she can't get over and is trying to get payback by publicly defaming him because she feels hurt by him for whatever reason. The fact is this was an abusive relationship with Fiona being the aggressor. Abusers love to justify their actions and to keep their victims close even if they separate. It gives her power and by coming forward she can have power once again since I don't think she ever moved on completely.
The truth is she's smart enough to know that the events taking place in the show either mirror or match real life closely. This is almost a way for her to relive those moments or knowing how narcissistic she is, she would have instant reactions against how she's being depicted.
I mean she has to realize she was the only one doing the things she did but won't admit it. She's also capable of knowing right from wrong but I think tries to justify her actions so they make sense to her. How many stalkers could Gadd have had when he worked at a bar and offered a cup of tea to a sad looking woman? That is an instant trigger for her which would have caused her to spiral and stay hooked again.
I think that she is coming forward because of her narcissism, believes she is a victim, and is just trying to make a fast buck by claiming the show is targeting her. However at the same time by doing so means she has to prove she never stalked him and provide proof of how the show is depicting her if it does go to court. Fiona is literally self-incriminating herself and I would be surprised if she actually does get anything.

I caught a screening of this one about 6 weeks ago or so and I had to have a copy. I love the packaging. If you haven't seen this yet, it's an interesting one. Think Napoleon Dynamite meets Escape to Witch Mountain meets Adventures in Babysitting news The Wicker Man.

2024.05.16 21:48 Feeling-Comedian-488 AITAH for being to sensitive

So im a very timid person and i can talk to people comfortable but these past two years I've been verbally bullied by my college piers for example having people come up to my desk just to call me stupid. calling me names behind my back or calling me weird or how 'll shoot up a school.
i had one person i would talk to (as in i would start all the conversations and he'd just listen) sure he helped me with my work but he treated me like i was a job and only seemed to hang out with me out of pitty he never starts conversations never even texted me even lies to me a lot and never defended me when i was being shamed and he would just sit there with the people who bullied me he's even in a group chat with them. Even when i told him about how i was being treated by them he said "ITS BECAUSE I DONT TALK." i remember texting him i liked him (i guess i was feeling lonely and outcasted) and he said he would talk to me about it later but he actually just ghost me for a 2 days before i texted him "yeah I'll just wait." before he could tell me "how he didn't feel the same way and how he just didn't want to deal with it"
i stopped being friends with him after that and he practically helps everyone including me sometimes but i don't accept it. (he acts like he did nothing wrong)
because of this my grades has gone down even worse than before even my college professor seem to be treating me even more harshly i cried in a bathroom stall he came down to check on me and when he saw me crying unable to speak from the tears and heavy breathing he told me i was being rude and being aggressive. i told him how i was feeling the other day and he sarcastically brought it up in class and saying things to me like " anyone wants to go to the bathroom?! *Insert my name* Dont forget your phone this time."
when i call him to help me with a question he sucks his teeth or sighs loudly in annoyance. i talked to him about how im afraid ask him questions now because of him and how he pressures me when i make a mistake( for example *me taking a long time typing something* he says " your wasting my time.") he practically shifted the blame onto me with a question and told me "you hang onto things" he then makes sarcastic remarks in front of the class like " oh am i being to aggressive or im not scaring annoying. the whole class laughs.
anyway this is still going on but this happens all the time i get bullied in every school i go to i don't know why. i assume it's because of how i look but are people really that shallow? or maybe im to sensitive and need to grow up.

2024.05.16 19:57 nokids123 Help design my guest room!

I’m not planning on keeping this day bed. Also, the floors will be changed out as well (probably a little lighter wood). But I’m really open to anything. I don’t want it to simply have a bed and be a basic bedroom. Was thinking another day bed, one without a back/headboard, some space for sitting. I have a contractor who suggested built-in adult bunk beds but I just couldn’t see the vision. I’m drawing a blank here 😭

2024.05.16 18:34 Feeling-Comedian-488 AITA Im being bullied by my professerc and college mates

So im a very timid person and i can talk to people comfortable but these past two years I've been verbally bullied by my college piers for example having people come up to my desk just to call me stupid. calling me names behind my back or calling me weird or how 'll shoot up a school.
i had one person i would talk to (as in i would start all the conversations and he'd just listen) sure he helped me with my work but he treated me like i was a job and only seemed to hang out with me out of pitty he never starts conversations and never defended me when i was being shamed and he would just sit there with the people who bullied me. Even when i told him about how i was being treated by them he said "ITS BECAUSE I DONT TALK." i remember texting him i liked him and he said he would talk to me about it later but he actually just ghost me for a 2 days before i texted him "yeah I'll just wait." before he could tell me "how he didn't feel the same way and how he just didn't want to deal with it"
i stopped being friends with him after that and he practically helps everyone including me sometimes but i don't accept it. (he acts like he did nothing wrong)
because of this my grades has gone down even worse than before even my college professor seem to be treating me even more harshly i cried in a bathroom stall he came down to check on me and when he saw me crying unable to speak from the tears and heavy breathing he told me i was being rude and being aggressive. i told him how i was feeling the other day and he sarcastically brought it up in class and saying things to me like " anyone wants to go to the bathroom?! *Insert my name* Dont forget your phone this time."
when i call him to help me with a question he sucks his teeth or sighs loudly in annoyance. i talked to him about how im afraid ask him questions now because of him and how he pressures me when i make a mistake( for example *me taking a long time typing something* he says " your wasting my time.") he practically shifted the blame onto me with a question and told me "you hang onto things" he then makes sarcastic remarks in front of the class like " oh am i being to aggressive or im not scaring annoying. the whole class laughs.
anyway this is still going on but this happens all the time i get bullied in every school i go to i don't know why. i assume it's because of how i look but are people really that shallow? or maybe im to sensitive and need to grow up.

2024.05.16 18:22 Puzzleheaded-Bus5479 Help me identify this knife based on my crappy drawings, please.

Help me, Knifeclub, you’re my only hope.
I bought this knife in between 25 and 30 years ago from the famous knife store at Pier 39 in SF so it wasn’t some gas station find. It was likely made in the late 80’s/early 90’s. I was a kid at the time and was brought there to pick out a knife for a birthday gift, I recall it being designed by someone famous in the knife world. It may still be in some long lost box in my mom’s stuff but I’ve been looking for years and no dice.
It had a super unique opening/locking mechanism where it basically functioned like a sideways balisong, the scales linked together via a slot at the bottom and you’d open it by sliding the scales apart and rotating 360 degrees and they’d lock together again in the open position. I’m sure it’d long out of production and with my shitty description google has been no help. I’d like to at least find out what it was if not find one somewhere as it had a ton of sentimental value.

2024.05.16 18:04 christina_murray_ What do you think of Jameela Jamil?

Jameela gets lauded as a feminist icon a lot, and I do think she raises valid points sometimes about diet culture and misogyny; however she’s a massive massive hypocrite- particularly towards men. If a man does something wrong, out come the pitchforks. If a woman does something wrong, and gets held accountable for it, she labels that as misogyny.
She also did a really long-winded blog rant a few years ago about how men are all inherent dangers to women… it’s ridiculous- she’s a horrible woman but people overlook that horrible side because she’s made valid points on a few occasions, but that’s like saying “I know this person’s a murderer but they’re also an organ donor so let’s focus on the good they’ve done” (that’s an extreme analogy- I’m not calling Jamil a murderer or anything- it’s mainly the logic of “we can’t hold this person accountable because they’ve done good things”).
She also talks a lot about how there’s no shame in women being single, but then uses lines like “you will die alone” (I have screenshots on record… i know she deleted a lot of her tweets) to the men she disagrees with. So if a woman is single, that’s empowering, but if a man’s single that’s shameful and makes him a loser.
She’ll rightly call out people who criticise/make fun of a woman’s appearance… then she’ll make fun of the appearances of men who disagree with her.
Then there’s the abortion debate… as somebody with no children and no plans to have them, the abortion debate isn’t one I have particularly strong feelings about- however her hypocrisy with regards to that is astonishing. If a man has a pro-life stance, she’ll use the “no uterus no opinion” line… but then she tries to get male pro-choice allies on her side… if you’re going to use that “no uterus no opinion” line at least be consistent and use it towards both.
True egalitarianism and being an ally to women, is holding women and men to the same standards. Don’t infantilise women (that’s essentially misogyny to treat us as if we’re these precious angels incapable of wrongdoing) and don’t vilify men (that’s misandry because it treats men as a monolithic evil hive mind)- we’re both capable of good and bad. There are good and bad eggs on both sides- misogyny and misandry aren’t the answers.
Honestly, I don’t like Piers Morgan; in fact I can’t stand him, but most of the time when he bickers with this lady (which he has done a lot), it’s hard not to be on his side (as much as that pains me to say).

2024.05.16 14:36 glance6476 management advises against repairing holes/rips myself

hi! i'm about to move out my current apartment in July, and have a few nail holes and rips to patch. i already used a 3M primer to fill the nail holes and rips (the rips were a stupid one - i taped a cushion to the wall as a headboard, and when i peeled the tapes off it left three long thin stripes of rips; entirely my fault). when i called my apartment management to ask about the paint they used (so that i can buy the same one and paint over the holes), they advised against doing that, saying it might cause more damage if not done properly.
i do hope to get as much security deposit back as possible, and the management has done shady stuff in the past such as enrolling me in "credit lifting programs" which automatically deducted money every month without my knowledge. should i follow this advice or should i get some paint and paint the drywall instead, since they have already been patched?

2024.05.16 13:41 Impossible-Band-4835 Capping/Venting an out-of-service system. Advice needed.

I lost my seasonal cabin to a wildfire a little while ago. The cabin was on piers, with the plumbing exposed on the underside. The 4" PVC pipe that was the inflow to the septic tank burned/melted away to the ground surface, leaving what is now essentially a catch drain for rainwatemud. We are planning to rebuild, but it could be several years before we get to indoor plumbing again. So I want to cap the line for the time being. It's currently just covered with a piece of plastic.
I was planning to just expose the end of the pipe, cut it clean, and put a PVC cap on it without cementing it.
Will this provide adequate ventilation to a not-in-use system? If not could I just drill a little hole in the cap?
FWIW the system is about 30 years old, but on average only gets used one weekend a month.

2024.05.16 11:26 Pettylabelle94 Baby Reindeer! Who wants to have a discussion and a debrief on the show and her interview?!

Sorry this will be a long read. But I have sooooo many questions and theories and all that lol because this to me is crazzzyyy. I didn’t think it could get anymore interesting and complex. Then here she goes doing an interview with piers Morgan.
Okay I need a discussion and a lil debrief about this.cDid she out herself? Or did someone name drop and piers/ the media contacted her for this interview? She mentioned suing Netflix and daily mail.
Did she mention suing Richard himself? I assume she will. I asked myself why would she out herself like this? (If she came forward at her own accord not due to someone else outing her as the actually woman)
BUT then I realised the only reason she would come forward and out herself is because she was seeing dollar signs and she is seeing millions of dollars worth of dollar signs. (FairPlay).
Correct me if I am wrong but if her name and details etc. were not depicted in the show then how is she able to sue? Because nobody gave it out. She did it herself so how would she have a leg to stand on? Someone could’ve released her name but she didn’t have to appear on piers Morgan of all people.
A man with 2.35 million subscribers, double or quadruple it because even more people will now be viewing it all over the world. (again this is if she was forced to identify as the woman).
What if he didn’t say it was based on himself or based on a true story would she be able to still try and sue? The only way she can sue and win is if she shows all of the evidence of her crimes and stalking etc. etc.
How else can she prove that it’s her? And win her cases in a court of law? Argh this is just as wild as the show. Leads me to believe Gadd was definitely telling the truth and a lot of it.
I won’t lie and it’s not just because of the interview it’s just her as a person. She is way too calm and collected over something she insinuates this has caused her alot of problems and affecting her life (how ironic). If it was me and it was a genuine lie and slander. I would be so upset and angry. Her body language speaks just as much as she does.
Because regardless of the show yall can not tell me that she gives off stalker and compulsive liar vibes. Sociopath? Psychopath? Some sorts path. Her body language of constantly sipping water (proven to be a sign of lying) The mass amounts of information that isn’t important (trying to make it sound more convincing). Constantly saying “oh I’m not sure”. The constant “erm,um,errrr,ahhh” is a sign and she did it a lot that it was starting to irritate me. She had an excuse or answer for absolutely everything yet she made it up as she went the “um’s and. Aahh’s” prove that she was trying to bide her time to give a bullshit answer. Thinking as she went and said anything she could.
This interview gives off that she enjoys attention positive and negative. The attention is her fire and anything big or small. Negative or positive is what she thrives off.
Anyways that’s my thoughts and questions. Long read I know but this story blows my mind lol if yall can’t answer any questions I asked then commenting your thoughts etc as well would be awesome. I need someone to discuss it with !
Side note - something I laughed about is the way she depicts herself as a woman who is so attractive and irresistible that he wanted her so badly as if he was the one obsessed with her and she rejected him. Thats definitely got to be number 1. Her projecting and 2 - delusional because of her demeanour I think that she genuinely thinks she is absolutely drop dead gorgeous 😂😂😂😂😂😂 that alone without all the other evidence is proving she nothing but a big guilty lying ass
