Cause of swollen gums and face swelling

My wife’s best friend who I will call Sarah moved in with us about 1 month ago after her husband had her arrested for getting physical with him and scratching his face. I have been a mutual friend with both Sarah and her husband that I will John. Our kids are friends and we would often get the families together. We have been put in the middle of the feud. John has a restraining order out on Sarah and the only way she gets to see the kids is supervised visitation. John listed my wife as the person that has to be present while her kids visit in 3 hour time blocks. I thought it was weird that John only listed my wife on there considering I am the only one (between my wife and I) that directly communicates with him (text and calls). John and my wife were always cordial to one another but between all 4 of us, they are the only two that had no real friendship. My wife is prettier than Sarah, and I have caught John staring at my wife’s chest and ass in the past. It never bothered me. During one of John and Sarah’s last fights, he said that Sarah’s face looked much older than my wife’s (both are very into skincare and anti-aging, so this really pissed Sarah off). John is an incredibly controlling husband that treated Sarah very poorly and my wife has always said that he is such an asshole and that she can’t stand him.
This is where things began to get weird…
After Sarah moved in, John continued to call me to discuss his wife. My wife told me that I was being too kind to him after the way he has treated her so poorly over the years, and having her arrested. My wife told me that it was time to choose a side (Sarah’s) and to stop talking with John. She told me I was two faced for continuing to speak with him. She called him Satan because he was already running around with a few different women and their kids, all while taunting her in various ways and trying to destroy her life. Suddenly John starts reaching out to my wife to schedule visitations with their kids based on my wife’s schedule. He could’ve listed both of us on the supervision list but he only put my wife. I suspect that he felt like it would lead to an open line of communication between the two of them(previously my wife didn’t even have his number in her phone) My wife acted very annoyed that she was put in that position because he never asked beforehand.. basically if Sarah wanted to see her kids, my wife would need to be involved. Here is where things got weird…
We had a birthday party for one of our daughters and we invited his kids to her party. He brought the kids and oddly stayed in the area with his youngest and waited around, but didn’t join the party. Later that day I sent him a text thanking him for the gifts they got. The next morning(Mother’s Day), one of the first things my wife does is send him a thank you text that I felt was a “gushing” thank you. It was weird to me that he was not only the first thank you text that she sent, but she only sent 3 out of the 8-9 parents that were there.
Is this thank you a bit much?
“We had the gifts mixed up but Sarah later clarified the gifts with the flower wrapping paper were from y'all! But as you can see, she loved them. Thank you very much for going out of your way to get them and for bringing the kids out to celebrate with Tara(our daughter) and waiting so patiently with jane(his youngest daughter). It meant so much to us!”
Here was my thank you the night before …
“Thanks a lot for all the stuff for Tara. She loved it all. You got much more than you should’ve”
John’s reply to my wife’s thank you text and then wishing her happy Mother’s Day.
“You are so welcome, a bit sad we were not able to be there as a complete family. Praying next year is different.”
“Happy Mothers Day, the kids and Dave are so blessed to have you.” (Clearly a compliment to her and a dig at his wife)
My wife’s reply…
Sunday 1:56 PM Thank you! I am sorry for leaving you hanging about today. Would you like to plan for around 430-730? We are getting a slow start and I just hoped to go to the beach for a little bit.
(She just says thank you? I would’ve thought she would’ve also said that their kids are blessed to have her best friend as a mom as well)
-John’s reply- That sounds perfect. See you then. Sunday 2:58 PM
(Sarah then sent a screenshot of the family app that they are legally allowed to communicate on. She told him that he was intruding on my wife’s Mother’s Day, and it was stressing my wife out, which was true. After seeing what Sarah told John, my wife felt compelled to reach back out to John with the following…
“Hey John. I'm not stressed. It just took forever to get the kids ready and out”
Keep in mind that he has repeatedly verbally abused her friend, has been hanging out with other woman, kicked her out of her house without her belongings, reported her to the state licensing board for her “arrest” and caused her license to be suspended, told her that he hope she died during an upcoming surgery she was supposed to have, and insulted her by implying that she was a harm to her kids and her best friend needed supervision during the time she spent with her kids… I was called “two faced” and told I was betraying Sarah, simply because I would answer John’s calls and texts.
We get home and John brings his kids over with a Mother’s Day plant and card (same ones, for my wife and Sarah). I thought this was weird and another way of slighting at Sarah, putting the two of them on the same level. The next day, my wife (who doesn’t garden) was watering the plants and walking around with the plants looking for a place to plant them. (I mentioned to Sarah that my wife watered the plants and she seems very surprised and upset that she did that, considering it was intended to be a slight to her.). I was very surprised considering our 9-year-old got her a plant from Lowe’s a year or two ago and she simply let it dry out and die on the counter (never watering it) which really hurt our daughters feelings….
Two days later I looked at my wife’s messages with John and was very surprised. My wife knew I had looked at her phone and sent me a nasty text to stay off of it. I told her that I was surprised that she was being so chummy with John considering how he has been treating Sarah, and had previously called me “two faced” for continuing to talk to John. I told her that her thank you to John was “gushing” and clearly made him feel good as he gave her a compliment about how blessed we were to have her immediately after that. I told her I was also surprised that she didn’t just have me tell him thank you considering she knows we talk and are friends. My wife got really mad and said she did nothing wrong and called me a jealous psycho. She said she would show the thread to Sarah because she had nothing to hide and did nothing wrong. I told her that I would strongly advise against it because I think it would hurt Sarah’s feelings and cause her to be upset with my wife. My wife continued to call me a lot of mean names and told me I needed professional mental help. She then changed the password on her phone. She then told Sarah that it would prob be best for her and John to coordinate through the app because I was acting very bothered by her talking to John (implying jealousy).
My wife and I began talking about the situation again yesterday and I told her that I wasn’t dwelling on it but wish she would acknowledge the inappropriateness of the conversation, considering the circumstances. She refused and again began calling me a psycho that is destroying her life. I told her that if she felt like it was a completely appropriate conversation, then she should show Sarah. She refused. She then sends me the following :
“I deleted his thread and his contact information. Accidentally called his number while I was trying to figure out how and immediately hung up. I’m sure you’ll say I called him on purpose. I have a screenshot of the thread so you won’t accuse me of trying to get rid of evidence.”
As it turned out, she didn’t have a screenshot of the thread. I found it very odd that she deleted the conversation (she did it during this last argument we were having about the appropriateness of it and telling her to show Sarah..
The other things that bothered me was that I wrote a kind Mother’s Day message on her Facebook, which she saw but never acknowledged on Facebook or said anything to me, and she completely ignored my happy birthday post to our daughter on Facebook. She was so quick to acknowledge the person she called “Satan” but not to her husband. I am considering the possibility that I am overly sensitive these days. My wife just went through a real bad case of postpartum rage where she was verbally abusive toward me and I genuinely felt like she hated me. It has left me with what she believes to be ptsd and says she feels very badly about it. It was the worst thing I have ever experienced and it nearly ended our family. Am I over-reacting or was my wife out of line?
Why did she delete the thread when I pressed her to show Sarah?
Was her thank you “gushing” and a bit much, considering the circumstances?
Is my wife really the one that’s two faced?
What should I make of John’s actions with my wife? Should it rub me the wrong way!?
Was telling my wife that we were so lucky to have her flirtatious and should she have replied that they were blessed to have Sarah!?
Would Sarah be hurt by my wife’s conversation with her husband?
Why did my wife feel so anxious to be the one to thank him for the gifts directly and praise him for coming and telling him it meant so much that he brought the kids and waited around?
Thanks in advance

Yesterday i was going to a resort to Lou loua hotel resort, which is known for a good place, right next to a beach. Me and my family was planning to go there, untill the Receptionist started fighting with us ( not in like hand fighting face to face, just using words fighting ). He said that My cousin which is 13 years old counted as an adult and my mom had to pay for a supposedly a 13 year old adult. Futhermore to give my claim that this hotel is corrupted my moms mom could not stay there for even 2 hours and my mom had to pay for her to stay. A little while later my Mom called the manager of the hotel to see what is wrong with the receptionist , and the manager said the same thing. "this 13 year old boy is a adult and my moms mom could not stay for 2 hours". So after a little while we left because the Disrespectfulness. and one more thing to mention they said that any damaged caused would be 200 dirhams! which is 50 dollars. So we decided to leave and my mom called the authorities and we moved to another hotel next to a beach.

I'm not sure where to post this, but i need some opinions/validation/advice/whatever i just want to fix this and make my wife happy. This might jump all over, and I'm sorry but bear with me. I'm also going to attempt to describe the whole situation, but if theres questions i will be happy to answer.
I'll start by saying I(37m) have a high sex drive, and my wife(34f) has a low sex drive. I want/need an orgasm daily whether that be from sex or masturbating. I have been married for 16 years and always been faithful to my wife, and she has always been faithful to me, as far as I know and I have no reason to believe otherwise. To me, the orgasm that I need doesn't have to come from intercourse and i would never cheat on my wife. I'm attracted to her and the emotional connection is what fuels my desire for sex with her. Basically, what I'm saying is that I don't want to have sex with anyone else. I dont sleep well if I haven't had an orgasm, and i lie there in bed feeling bored and frustrated until I fall asleep and I dont feel rested when I wake up in the morning.
There's been some things lately that I'm uncomfortable with, and I don't really know how to describe how it makes me feel, but I'm going to try.
First, I'm a pleaser and my kink is making her cum. I try to be very self aware and i hear complaints about men who get in, bust, and get out leaving their partner unsatisfied and frustrated. I always initiate with foreplay, then i go down on her so she has an orgasm, then we have sex. I tried to have a conversation with her about her wants and i shared mine, and it seems like we both want the same thing. I want to be told what to do, I want to know what she wants me to do to her. I'm not a mind reader and she knows her body better than I ever could. She said she wants to be submissive and not make decisions because she makes decisions all day and doesn't want to in the bedroom. I get it, because that's how i feel as well.
When we have sex she always covers her face with a pillow, I'm not sure why. I've asked her and she says she doesn't know. When i ask her what she wants me to do to her, she shrugs or says I dont know. The only thing ive gotten out of her after years of basically begging her to tell me what she likes or wants is "the only thing off limits is any butt stuff". Got it. I'm not really the type that wants to do anal anyway, it's just not my bag. So it seems like we're compatible, i think. I mean, i dont have a need that's off limits to her, and she doesn't have a need that's off limits to me.
In the past my communication has been has been an issue, and I am aware of my flaws. I suffered an injury that caused sensorineural hearing loss. This has caused me to have a real hard time controlling my tone. Not my volume, but the tone in which I say things so sometimes things sound like I'm being sarcastic or rude when I'm not trying to be. I decided to see a therapist to learn some techniques to better communicate. I've been trying, but it it's not perfect. And hearing aids aren't an option because it doesn't matter how loud the sounds are, there are just some frequencies my brain cant interpret. Certain sounds just sound like im under water, or like im holding cups over my ears.
I told my wife about going to therapy for this and the response was "I've been with you for 13 years since the injury, I know you cant control your tone and I've learned to just listen to what words are said and not how they are said". That's great, but what about every other conversation I have in life? I want to learn skills to better communicate with everyone, because no one will know just by looking at me that I'm not trying to be a dick when I have a "snappy" tone.
During my therapy sessions we have uncovered other traumas that i want to address that have lead to trust issues that I have. And my trust issues are backwards from most peoples. When i was young, i was accused of lying all the time, even when I was being honest. I remember how this made me feel so I always try to trust people more than I probably should. So I've been going to therapy for about six months now.
Last week, my wife asks "are you cheating on me?" I was kind of shocked by this because, 1. I'm not and 2. I'm not sure what behaviors I've displayed to make her question my fidelity. I tell her no, and ask why she would think that. She tells me it's because I'm in therapy, and working on myself. I have referred to my therapy appointments as "going to the gym for my mind". She tells me that I'm perfect for her the way I am and the men that she knows that go to therapy without obvious flaws are either cheating or considering cheating or have some sort of guilt they're dealing with. I can see my therapists notes on the app, i have nothing to hide, so i downloaded them and showed them to her. I'm not sure if she read them, but i made them available to her if she wanted to read them. I know i didn't have to, but maybe this is because i was always accused of being deceptive by my parents and i could prove that i wasnt in this case so i took the opportunity to do that.
I'll add that she grew up in a dysfunctional household and was physically, emotionally, and sexually abused by a close relative for many years. The other day she was complaining about a work colleague and their sexual promiscuity and infidelity. Her colleague was sexually abused when she was younger, and my wife says "abuse victims typically become hyper sexual or have little interest in sex at all. Very few have 'normal' sex lives like me".
Anyway, back to the bedroom parts. Like i said, I need to have an orgasm every day to sleep well, and to feel clear minded. Somehow it came up that I don't feel desired by her because she has never initiated sex. She says "I do too initiate sex, I know I've done it at least once." I told her "no you havent, I would remember it and it would probably be a life changing moment for me to feel desired". I try to initiate that night with her, and she turns me down so I decide to masturbate. I'm not going to the couch because I have kids that could walk in, and I'm tired of doing it on the toilet because it just feels weird to me. Plus, our bathroom is huge with the sliding barn doors so it's not really private anyway. I don't watch porn, i masturbate to thoughts about her. So, I thought to myself. If my wife wanted to have sex with me, and i turned her down, and she began masturbating, how would i feel? I think that would be hot, and perfectly acceptable. So I decide to do it in the bed. I'm not going hard and rattling the bedframe or anything, but she turns over and says "are you playing with yourself?" I brief moment passes where i try to decide if im going to lie, but i dont and say "yes" and she rolls over, climbs on top of me and rides me until i orgasm. A couple days later i try to initiate again, she turns me down, I do the same thing. I'm not doing it to pressure her into having sex, but I'm tired of doing it in the bathroom. This time she rolls over says "are you playing with yourself?" I say, yes and she gets fucking pissed. She tells me that she feels like it makes her feel like she's not loved. I tried to come up with something to say but all i could muster up was "I'm sorry" through the massive lump in my throat and the tears that were brewing in my eyes. I never wanted to make her feel that way, and i never want to do that again. How do i fix this?

4F, 3'3", 41 lbs, white, pain in right leg causing a limp and shoulder and wrist pain since Monday night, no known existing medical issues.
On Monday night my daughter woke up crying that her leg hurt. After a couple hours in which she couldn't sleep and kept crying, we took her to the ER where they performed an XRay and ultrasound of her hips. No issues were found, leading them to conclude it could be transient synovitis (irritation of joint after viral illness) or viral myositis. They said to give her Motrin and monitor.
Four days later, she is still limping and complaining of pain in those areas. It's not debilitating, she is for the most part her usual self, healthy appetite, etc. She can jump and run/walk, though more slowly than normal. But she'll complain it hurts trying to climb up something or sitting down. Last night she woke up saying her leg hurt again, but we gave her Tylenol and she slept soundly the rest of the night.
I'm worried that her pediatrician doesn't really seem to know what's going on (we have seen her twice since the ER visit), which to me indicates this is unusual. They drew blood two days ago and her CMP, creatinine kinase, sedimentation rate were all within normal range. Her CBC values were all within normal range except neutrophils relative (70%), lymphocytes relative (21.3%), and neutrophils absolute (6.79). Her c-reactive protein is 2.1.
We are treating her with Motrin every six hours and Tylenol about once a day. Her pediatrician said to keep watching for any rashes, swelling, bruising, redness around joints, and check back in mid-week next week if she's not any better.
I'm really worried because leading up to Monday night she wasn't sick at all. Googling of course has scared me. I'd appreciate any insights from medical professionals.

Mosquitoes are more than just a nuisance; they pose serious health risks to humans and animals. Ignoring mosquito pest control can lead to significant consequences, ranging from health hazards to economic impacts. Understanding these dangers is crucial for taking proactive measures to manage and control mosquito populations. Here are the key dangers associated with neglecting mosquito pest control.
1. Transmission of Diseases
One of the most significant dangers of ignoring mosquito control is the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases. Mosquitoes are vectors for several serious illnesses that can affect both humans and animals.
Malaria: Caused by Plasmodium parasites, malaria is transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes. It can lead to severe illness and death, particularly in children and pregnant women.
Dengue Fever: Spread by Aedes mosquitoes, dengue fever can cause high fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, and rash. Severe cases can lead to dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome, both of which can be fatal.
Zika Virus: Also transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, the Zika virus is particularly dangerous for pregnant women as it can cause birth defects such as microcephaly in babies.
West Nile Virus: Carried by Culex mosquitoes, West Nile Virus can lead to severe neurological diseases in some cases, including encephalitis and meningitis.
Chikungunya: Another virus spread by Aedes mosquitoes, chikungunya causes fever and severe joint pain that can be debilitating and long-lasting.
2. Impact on Quality of Life
Ignoring mosquito control can significantly affect the quality of life for individuals and communities. Mosquito bites are not only irritating but can also cause allergic reactions in some people, leading to swelling, itching, and discomfort. High mosquito populations can make outdoor activities unpleasant and drive people indoors, limiting the enjoyment of gardens, parks, and recreational areas.
3. Economic Consequences
The economic impact of ignoring mosquito control can be substantial. Costs associated with healthcare for mosquito-borne illnesses can be significant, including hospital stays, medications, and long-term treatment for chronic conditions resulting from these diseases. Additionally, high mosquito populations can affect tourism and outdoor businesses, leading to economic losses.
Healthcare Costs: Treating diseases such as malaria, dengue, and West Nile virus can be expensive and place a burden on healthcare systems, especially in regions with limited resources.
Lost Productivity: Illnesses caused by mosquito bites can lead to missed workdays and reduced productivity, affecting both individuals and businesses.
Tourism Impact: Areas known for high mosquito populations and associated health risks may see a decline in tourism, impacting local economies reliant on this industry.
4. Environmental Imbalance
Mosquitoes are part of the ecosystem, but ignoring their control can lead to an imbalance. Uncontrolled mosquito populations can disrupt local ecosystems, affecting the natural predators that feed on mosquitoes, such as birds, bats, and dragonflies. This imbalance can lead to further ecological issues and reduce biodiversity.
5. Psychological Stress
Living in an area with a high mosquito population can cause psychological stress and anxiety. Concerns about mosquito-borne diseases, constant itching from bites, and the disruption of outdoor activities can contribute to mental health issues. The constant buzzing and presence of mosquitoes can also interfere with sleep, leading to fatigue and decreased overall well-being.
6. Pet and Livestock Health
Mosquitoes do not only pose a threat to humans; they can also transmit diseases to pets and livestock. Heartworm is a serious condition transmitted by mosquitoes that affects dogs and cats. In livestock, mosquitoes can spread diseases such as equine encephalitis, which can be fatal to horses.
7. Resistance to Control Methods
Ignoring mosquito control can lead to increased resistance to insecticides. When mosquito populations are not managed properly, there is a higher chance of mosquitoes developing resistance to commonly used chemicals. This makes future control efforts more challenging and less effective, requiring the development of new strategies and potentially more toxic chemicals.
Conclusion
The dangers of ignoring mosquito pest control are far-reaching and significant. From the transmission of serious diseases to economic impacts, environmental imbalances, and psychological stress, the consequences are substantial. Proactive mosquito control measures are essential to protect public health, enhance quality of life, and maintain ecological balance. Investing in mosquito control strategies such as eliminating standing water, using insect repellents, and implementing community-wide control programs can help mitigate these risks and create a safer, healthier environment for everyone. Ignoring the problem is not an option; effective mosquito control is a crucial component of public health and safety.

The bits:
-Not only does the flesh of Chaos marines fuse with their armor, but their minds also fuse with the machine spirits of their wargear. A Chaos Marine's armor will mutate and be reshaped by the Warp taint to reflect his obsessions and their affinity/allegiance to the gods of Chaos.
-Following the Scouring and the exile to the Eye of Terror, none of the Traitor Primarchs were interested in unifying the Traitor Legions. Mortarion and Lorgar mostly shunned Real Space. Mortarion busied himself in reshaping his Daemon world into an image of his destroyed homeworld Barbarus. Lorgar self-exiled himself to the Daemon world of Sicarus. Magnus focused his attention on curing his legion from their curse of mutation. Fulgrim lost himself in a spiral of excess and pleasure. Perturabo fixated on pursuing his vendetta with the Imperial Fists rather than the pursuit of grand conquest. And so with no unifying leader, the traitor legions were fragmented by infighting and the cruel whims of the Chaos Gods.
-When Abaddon rose as Warmaster, he resolved to learn from the mistakes of his genesire. He swore to never bend the knee to the gods of Chaos, and to never sell his soul to them no matter how tempting their offers of powers. Abaddon refused to surrender his morality for immortal power and guarded it well.
-The 13th Black Crusade hasn't ended. It's reaching its peak in the Indomintus Era. Though Cadia had fallen, the war for the Cadian Gate continues. Furthermore, Abaddon is expanding his warfront elsewhere such as the Nachmund Gauntlet. These are but a few of the schemes Abaddon seeks to enact to topple the Imperium. Should Abaddon succeed in them then the power of Chaos will be unleashed from the Warp toward Terra itself.
-With each conquest, Abaddon paved a path toward Terra. However, what was unknown for the rest of the galaxy was his plan to unpick the veil between the Materium and the Warp. For thousands of years under the cover of false objectives and even entire Black Crusades Abaddon sought out and destroyed the Pylons wherever he found them. Sometimes he did so personally, other times via his agents, or by using the Planet Killer and the Blackstone Fortresses.
-The Fall of Cadia was the culmination of Abaddon's millennia-spanning grand plan, a plan that tied together the events of Pandorax, the Siege of Fenris, and others. The Great Rift was born, flooding the galaxy with the stuff of the Warp. Acting as his vanguard the traitor legions and renegade warbands smashed their way through the Cadian Gate and emerged on the other side. The traitor forces brought destruction and bloodshed to world after world empowering the Warp and causing the daemonic legions to follow in their wake. Invasion after invasion, the Crimson Path expands toward Terra.
-The Chaos Gods and their legions believe that the fall of Terra and the destruction of the Emperor would be the ultimate prize, the conclusion of the war between the Materium and the Immaterium. Yet, Terra's fall is one part of Abaddon's plan for vengeance, not the end. Abaddon is aware that the ultimate victory of the Chaos Gods would be bad for his mortal self so he has no intention of depending on the Chaos Gods in achieving the victory he seeks. For now, Abaddon is all too content to have the forces of Chaos carve a path toward Terra.
-In the Age of the Great Rift, the forces of Chaos are prowling the stars in numbers not seen since the HH. Not even the Imperium Sanctus is safe from their wrath. However, it's in the Imperium Nihilus where they are at their strongest. Isolated from each other and shorn from the guiding light of Terra, the isolated bastions of the Imperium are being beset by the forces of Chaos from within and without. The overstretched defenders of the Imperium still valiantly attempt to stem the overwhelming tides of Chaos, chief among them are Dante and the returned Primarch the Lion who rage against the encircling darkness. Yet their efforts are nothing but futile gestures. Candles of hope set before a raging inferno of hate.
-Roboute launched the Indomintus Crusade to save the Imperium from collapse yet even this colossal assemblage of Imperial might cannot hope to repel every Chaos incursion. Conflicts are flaring up in every Segmentum of the Imperium and in each the influence of the Despoiler can be felt.
-Though Chaos is ascendant gutted on conquest and slaughter, Abaddon knows that he must maintain the momentum of his Black Crusade by feeding it constant conquests and victories or else risk his forces fragmenting before he could topple the Imperium.
-Abaddon and the Black Legion value value renegades from the Space Marine chapters who join their ranks. These turncoats bring them an abundance of information about the Imperium and its defenders allowing Abaddon's formidable intellect to fashion accurate and complex plans that inflict the maximum damage to the Imperium. In the past it allowed the Black Legion to deceive sector fleets, steal geneseed from loyalist chapter strongholds, and strike at key industrial zones.
-Lord Iordax Quan is one of the most singularly dedicated Black Legion commanders to the cause of destroying the Imperium. His focus on the Long War resulted in him rejecting the blessings of the Dark Gods and surrounding himself with fellow true veterans of the Long War whose thirst for vengeance remains undimmed. His focus, his dedication, has led to Abaddon deploying him to crucial warzones. He is currently serving in the Cadian system purging the last Imperial holdouts.
-Solomon Akurra the character from Mike Brooks' novel "Harrowmaster" is mentioned in the codex. Akurra had seized control of the Serpent Teeth's warband and now commands the mobile Star Fort the Unseen. He gathered around him a loose alliance of Alpha Legion warbands that he dubbed the Ghost Legion. In his burning desire to take the fight to the Imperium, he is exploiting the sorry state of the Imperium to add to its misery. Using his strategic mind and the sinister skills of the Alpha Legion, Akurra had deceived entire systems to swear allegiance to the Ghost Legion further destabilizing the Imperium. The majority of the Psyphos subsector is now under his rule. Yet this is merely the start of the seeds of anarchy he will plant in Segmentum Pacificus.
-When the Great Rift opened, the three stars of a system close to the galactic core and bordering the territories of the Greater Thurian League were swallowed up by the expanding Warpstorm known to the Kin as Orgvayr. The surging Warp energy resulted in the trio of stars going supernova at the same time creating a nebula of tainted clouds of astral debris riddled with Warp rifts which acted as refuge for many Chaos warbands including the Iron Warrior warband known as Abrial's Claw. The determined Iron Warriors took to besieging the mighty strongholds of the Kin and several fell before them.
-The short story "The Traitor's Tarot" from the 9th ED CSM codex is again here in the 10th Ed codex. They added four images to accompany the paragraphs that described the heretical artwork. I appreciate rereading the short, it's a good story but I would have very much liked a new story to come with the new codex. You get me?
-Traitor fleets have no fear of the raging tides of the Warp. They sail through and from even the hearts of Warpstorms. The remarkable ease with which the heretics are navigating the turbulent Warp makes it seem that the hands of the Chaos Gods protect them as they emerge over their prey worlds. Within the darkness of the Imperium Nihilus, the traitors have enacted butchery and atrocity of epic proportions on the isolated worlds of the Imperium. The luckiest of their victims are those who meet quick ends. Those who survive face a fate worse than death at the hands of the heretics.
-Worse still for humanity, within Nihilus many of the traitors' unnatural abilities and blessings are being empowered. Their wargear swell and blaze with the power of the Chaos Gods and their sorcery are reaching new levels of dark majesty and potency.
-The isolation of Imperial territories in the Imperium Nihilus made many Imperial worlds and systems believe that they are the last of humanity. Some broke off from Imperial rule and transformed into their own kingdoms and nations. The decline of Imperial faith soon saw these independent realms and worlds rot from the inside out as the insidious whispers of daemons spread to the populace and Chaos cults flourished.
-Traitor empires are rising in the Imperium Nihilus. Worlds that had once served the Imperium now fuel the warbands and legions of Chaos with their resources and industry. Abaddon has a hand in the creation and location of some of these heretical empires. It's unknown whether these empires are part of some scheme of his or are merely a vision of a galaxy under his rule.
-Vashhtorr's origins are unknown, forgotten by history. It's possible he was created by the technological and scientific advancements of the DAoT, spawned by the galaxy-shaping technology of the Old Ones, or came to being when primitives first mastered fire and created sharp tools.
-Vashtorr and Perturabo enjoy a beneficial but less than friendly relationship with each other. They cooperated in many nightmarish projects. The Daemon Primarch has regularly allied his Iron Warrior warbands with the Arkifane.
-Wyrmwood is a perversion of the tunneling devices used by the Old Ones to create the Webway. It's the Key for the Lock of a vault that contains a godly weapon capable of altering the fate of the galaxy. In search for the lock, Wyrmwood carves its way through the Webway and Real Space in an insane pattern known only to Vashtorr. Wyrmwood is unrestrained by the laws of time and space. The Imperial agents are struggling to catch up to Wyrmwood as it emerges into sectors across the breadth of the galaxy. The daemon world is crossing vast tracks of space in mere hours, that would have taken Imperial fleets months to sail through. By the time Imperial fleet heeded distress calls and arrived at Wyrmwood's reported location, the daemonic world engine would have long departed having left behind nothing but ruined worlds and tears in reality.
-Even the Asuryani, who are enraged at the corruption of the Webway technology and fearful of the damage Wyrmwood will inflict on the Webway tunnels, are struggling to track down Wyrmwood. Their seers are unable to crack the code of Vashtorr's insane search pattern. Only Craftworld Altansar, due to their bitter experience with the Warp and its mutilation of reality, are making progress in tracking Wyrmwood. However, thus far, the Asuryani's efforts to draw Vashtorr into battle were met with dismal failure.
-Reports hint that Wyrmwood is about to appear in the Pariah Nexus. Other reports hint that it will appear in the Ghoul Stars. What is certain is that nowhere is safe from Vashtorr's wrath.
-Vashtorr is a timeless being. Linear time is of no consequence to him. While the efforts of his foes might delay his search, he will have his prize sooner or later.
-Vashtorr has near limitless control over technology. The nature and origin of the technology do not matter to Vashtorr, his understanding is without limit. Vashtorr can unmake or take control of any device created by mortal hands with a mere gesture.
-Within the superstructures of the Soul Forges nests the daemon engines known as the Venomcrawlers. They hunt and down devour daemonic entities that get discarded by Warpsmith and Masters of Possessions. The raging essences of these consumed entities power the daemon engines' weapons. When daemonic prey becomes lacking Venomcrawlers start hunting the Soul Forges' heretic marine masters to keep themselves fed.
-The Dark Mech provides the hosts of Chaos with armor, weapons, daemon engines, and even battle fleets. Without the Dark Mech the armies of Chaos might grind to a halt.
-While the physical shells of captured Imperial war machines are desecrated and reshaped into horrific forms, their machine spirits are sent to the Soul Forges within the Warp to be driven to madness.
-Some Soul Forges are rumored to predate mankind, that they are eternal and ruled over by unknowable entities.
-The captive daemons are dragged screaming by ropes fashioned from the hair of murderers and chains of bones into the Soul Forges where Warpsmiths bind them into daemon engines and then bludgeon them to submission with runic wards and rituals.
-Abaddon is not only feared by the High Lords of Terra. Within the halls of the greatest Xenos Empires, the Warmaster's name invokes fear.
-So mighty has Abaddon become after 10K years that only the Daemon Primarchs could challenge his position. Yet these figures are too focused on their pursuits to risk war with the Despoiler and his vast legion.
-Only Abaddon can unite the forces of Chaos. To do so is a continuous fight for the Warmaster especially when marshaling allied forces whose allegiance belongs to their gods alone. Getting these opposing servants of the Chaos Gods to set aside their rivalries not only for a short period of time but for years is proof of his supreme willpower and the high regard and fear felt toward him by the traitors even by those who hate him and wish him to fail.
-Haarken was once a Night Lord. His ruthlessness saw him rise to the command of the Night Lord warband known as the Gloomtalons. Haarken would lead his warband into raids on the worlds of the Imperium. He would always proclaim his coming victory and a world's doom on the vox broadcasts before leading his formation of raptors through the night sky to butcher any who foolishly resists and make examples of them. Haarken would kidnap the leaders of Imperial worlds and give them the choice of swearing fealty to him or suffering a prolonged agonizing death. Through a network of spies, Haarken ensured the Imperial leaders who bowed before him were kept in line. Thus Haarken grew rich in wealth and plunder. However, despite his successes as a pirate and raider, he found no satisfaction. He felt empty. His black heart yearned to strike a lasting blow against the Imperium.
-Haarken prayers were answered when Abaddon's attention fell on him. During the muster for the fifth Black Crusade, Abaddon offered the Haarken the honor of fighting alongside his Black Legion. Abaddon was straightforward with Haarken. He did not promise Haarken riches and plunder but the chance to strike a telling blow against the hated Imperium. And if he served well Abaddon would grant him further chances to bleed the Imperium. It was as if Abaddon peered through Haarken's soul and fulfilled his deepest desires. Haarken then and there knew he was standing before greatness, a warlord with the strength, charisma, and vision to bring the Imperium crashing down.
-During the battle for the city of Kasyr Lutein, Haarken and his Gloomtalons flew ahead of Abaddon and his Black Legion. Haarken unleashed unspeakable acts of violence and terror on the defenders of the city. The demoralized Imperials were annihilated by the combined might of the Black Legion and the Night Lords.
-Ultimately, the Fifth Black Crusade came to an end and the traitors were forced back to the Eye of Terror. However, the Imperials paid a terrible price to do so and the Elysian sector was ravaged. Having witnessed firsthand the supreme might and leadership of Abaddon, Haarken bent the knee to the Despoiler and donned the black and gold of the Black Legion. Since then Haarken carved a place for himself among the vanguard of the Black Legion eventually earning himself the title of the Worldclaimer for the countless worlds he conquered in the name of Abaddon.
-Abaddon acknowledged the loyalty and good service of Haarken by bestowing upon him the title of the "Herald of the Apocalypse" and the Helspear, a weapon that befits his new position as Abaddon's mouthpiece.
-Haarken is wholly devoted to Abaddon and his cause. From the Nachmund Gauntlet, he is committed to tearing a path toward the Sol system. He yearns for the day when he would drive his spear into Terra's surface and proclaim the end of the rule of the False Emperor.
-The Iron Warriors honor the Chaos Gods as a pantheon, though few among their number are truly devoted. Their true loyalty belongs to their Daemon Primarch whom they believe saved them from being sacrificed by the Emperor.
-Many Chaos warlords look down on the methods of Alpha Legion, but Abaddon does not. Abaddon appreciates their skills and makes good use of them. More than once the Warmaster employed the Alpha Legion to sow discord and anarchy before his invading fleets. However, Abaddon knows that the Alpha Legion are dangerous allies for their goals and true motivations are closely guarded secrets.
-Despite the revulsion and mistrust Abaddon feels toward the Word Bearers for reminding him of the shameful depths Horus fell into in his worship of the Chaos Gods. he had made common cause with them on many occasions. The effectiveness of the Word Bearers as warriors, both possessed or not, is something the Warmaster cannot deny. It's a source of strength he cannot afford to discard. Lorgar for his part sees Abaddon as a tool to spread the Word of the Ruinous Powers to the very heart of the Imperium.
-Most Night Lords do not seem to worship the Chaos Gods in the same degree as the other traitor Legions. They fight only for material gain and personal pleasure. They look down on fanatical marines, be they worshipers of Dark Gods or the False Emperor. They place their respect not in faith but in strength, strength and terror.
-The Night Lords will fight for any cause as long as the plunder is good and they have ample opportunity to inflict as much bloodshed and anguish as they can. This made some Night Lords warbands pledge their service to alien warlords.
-After the birth of the Great Rift, the Red Corsairs have become experts in navigating the border regions between Warpstorms and Real Space. They established secret bases in the liminal zones. One of them is a significantly large base called the Tyrant's Gate in the Imperium Nihilus. Every sin and vice is indulged on that world. The world is orbited by weapon shops, docks, and defense platforms. Within the Warp, a sorcerous anchorage allows the battleships of Chaos to translate directly from and to the planet's orbit swiftly.
-Imperial reports that Huron Blackheart was spotted in two Segmentums at once seem to all but confirm that he struck some sort of bargain with the Chaos Gods.
-In exchange for his skill, Fabius had struck bargains with Chaos warlords, including the Daemon Primarch. He favours no client over the other, not even his gene-father.
-In recent years, Fabius has acquired samples from the Primaris marines and the Custodes. What he intends to do with them is unknown.
-The daemon Q'o'ak the Boundless is said to have drawn the ire of his master Tzeentch by meddling in his plans. To rid himself of Q'o'ak's ceaseless meddling, Tzeentch bound him to a weapon. Each time the weapon clashes with an enemy blade, the enemy falls victim to Q'o'ak temporal tampering. How Q'o'ak traverses time while imprisoned within the weapon remains unknown but with each soul he pulls from the web of fate a fresh plume manifests from the weapon's hilt.
Emeys Varran, the Apostle of Discordance, is unusually zealous in his devotion to Dark Gods for a trusted lieutenant of Abaddon. Despite his zealous faith in the Chaos Gods, Varran's true loyalty lies with Abaddon and the Black Legion. He is one of the Warhamer's few trusted confidants. Varran holds an intense and violent hatred toward the Sisters of Battle after losing his left eye to a neural wipe during the siege of the Chaos Knight World of Dharrovar. Abaddon dispatched Varran to aid Haarkin in seizing control of the Nachmund Gauntlet.
The Vashtorr and Black Legion vs T'au short story:
The world that Vashtorr manifested upon had a half-destroyed ancient city. Within the city was a temple whose structure was etched with daemonic scripture. This was Vashtorr's target. The T'au presence on the world was an unexpected complication. The T'au were giving the traitor and heretic forces stiff resistance and barring their way to the temple. The T'au in their determination to cling to the world had littered the battlefield with the Black Legion dead. Yet Vashtorr knew that the mortals' resistance was futile. Wyrmwood was entering into alignment over the world and it would seal their doom.
As Wyrmwood completed its alignment, the planet's surface quaked and monolithic structures erupted from the earth. This disordered the T'au lines and forced them into a fighting retreat. The Black Legion and Vashtorr's tech cultists pressed the attack.
Vashtorr could sense the call of the Warp-tainted relic, how it begged for release. He made his way to the temple but found T'au stubbornly standing between him and it. The Black Legionaries, daemonic engines empowered by Vashtorrr and his servants, and a horde of cultists fell on the T'au. Vashtorr himself joined the fray. With a gesture, he turned the energy of a force field that protected a squad of fire warriors against them. The fire warriors screamed as their armor melted and their skin was seared. The Black Legion marines finished off the reeling survivors with their chainaxes and bolter stocks.
T'au reinforcements sent from their orbiting fleet joined the battle. Battlesuits, tanks, hovering barricades, and aircraft plunged from the skies. The firepower of the T'au scythed through cultists and marines alike.
Vashtorr waded into the T'au lines with his hammer, pulping and smashing the Xenos aside. With a gesture, he unmade a T'au skimmer from within causing it to crash into a trio of battlesuits and explode. Through the flames, he strode toward the temple's entrance only to find his way barred again.
A T'au suit descended down in front of Vashtorr. Its pilot uttered a warcry before shooting Vashtorr. The shots impacted Vashtorr causing him to stagger back slightly. Vashtorr examined his form where the shots were hitting him. His daemon flesh was being burned away revealing the cogs beneath and his form was flickering.
Vashtorr extended his wings and was carried toward his Xenos foe by unholy energies. As he fell upon the battlesuit he projected his voice into its communication system telling the pilot that he was being so proud of the ingenuity of his technology, he was so reliant on the mechanical.
Vashttorr smashed down the battlesuit with his hammer and hit it again and again until he cracked its armor. Then pinned it down with his hoof. From his form tentacles emerged and wormed their way into the suit. Vashtorr poured a fragment of his power into the battlesuit and willed it to be unmade. Even though the pilot's soul was weak and small, he could still feel their fear.
Vashtorr stepped away from the battlesuit's wreckage and strode again toward the temple. As ever mortal resistance was nothing more than obstacles to be overcome by a being of infinite patience such as he. He will find the Lock and then reality itself will tremble before him.

You got it wrong See I'm aware that your attempts to bully me while crying about how wrong it is would be par for the course with you and your 🐒 monkeys. You riled them up and sent them off to do your bidding... However they got shut down real quick, so they had to be heard they had to control the narrative here so they don't have to face the truth, the exposing yourself, nodding off, many hearing you using what pretty much sounds like drugs, the kids, the money they've spent no they can't wrap their tiny minds around that reality so they spend time passing out a name they got a name and oh boy now they can do what they can't cause you won't mod them on tik tok cause you really care less about half or more of them. Now they will use up time they'll never get back to dispute what's right in front of their eyes to avoid recognizing they've been and are being played.. Bravo monkeys at the attempt however you got the wrong person... I said what I said and stand by it, because unlike you emeshed people I believe my own eyes and ears despite what the narc tells you that you see an hear!! And again this is what Reddit is about, you would have had to come looking for information, it's not being posted in his 15 hour makeup sessions! If you don't want an answer!!! Don't ask a question!! As far as age and time on my hands what you haven't seen the crew in the boxes, most sound like 90yo 2 carton a day smokers, from these hills have eyes!! And really it's the pot calling the kettle here I'm for sure not on 24 7 but petty patty holds press conferences everytime he walks out the door with his selfie stick you got it just a bit twisted.. it's okay I know your all trying to figure out if what he's telling you to see is real, fighting your eyes an ears that you didn't see or hear what you saw an heard. I'll let it go this time... but be more careful next time I'm not worried about what this lot has to say... I do apologize to anyone that they tried.. it's really in the rules that Petty Patty's minions aren't allowed but being a brainwashed as they appear maybe he told them it meant go there and find out what you can!

Learning about Silicon Valley Bank and how they went under because of their exposure to treasuries highlights how poorly banks mitigate risk.
SVB had a significant amount of treasuries on their balance sheet. The increase in interest rates caused their treasuries to depreciate in value.
This isn't necessarily a problem as long as the treasuries are held to maturity.
But of course, a bank run started and in order to facilitate withdrawals they needed to sell those treasuries at a loss. And when many people withdrew at once, this cumulative loss grew exponentially ultimately collapsing the bank.
I'm sure I didn't explain this correctly but my take away from that event is that banks hold assets as a means to be solvent and that fluctuating prices can introduce risk.
Because of the hardness of bitcoin, it is much harder to hide and remedy losses on a bank's balance sheet.
This is not an anti-bitcoin post, this is more just thinking about how banks will hold bitcoin in a way that doesn't screw over people.
SVB had a relatively simple solution, just make depositors whole (no big deal).
But looking at how the FTX payout is occurring, people are getting made whole in dollar terms. This may be the precedent moving forward.
I can already hear people smashing their keyboards "This is a non-issue for self-custody, ya dingus!"
Banks still facilitate loans, they are an essential part of our economy. I don't believe banks go extinct anytime soon.
What happens if these banks mismanage their bitcoin holdings?
Bitcoin is "honest money"
What I mean by that is that it's not gold in vault, "Trust me bro, it's not tungsten"
Or manipulating assets to give the appearance that a bank's balance sheet is healthy. "Bro we have 500 houses in collateral, we're good! Where? Oh uh... Detroit, we bought them in 1994".
Or just the simple bureaucracy is enough to hide balance sheet holes. "We have a 25 million dollar hole, thank God it's Friday! We'll be fine on Monday!"
Having a transparent, digitally native, asset that trades 24/7 will make irresponsible banks collapse within minutes.
Hooray! Those dumbasses get what they deserve! Not so fast!
I truly believe when some of these banks collapse it will be extremely painful for their customers and who is the scapegoat?
Bitcoin.
I can already hear the news soundbites "Bitcoin causes bank collapse, thousands lose life savings!"
This will be the next level of bullshit that bitcoin will face and because people don't understand nuance they will vehemently condemn bitcoin.
I think this will be the ugliest part of bitcoin's adoption because the people who don't even have bitcoin become vulnerable to these irresponsible banks.
The blame will most certainly be foisted onto bitcoin again.
I just feel this in my bones. This is the next "It's so over 😢" phase of bitcoin.
SVB couldn't mitigate risk holding treasuries, what does that say about other assets?

Herbs and benefits
1- If you want to sleep, soak a lettuce leaf in hot water until it cools down and drink it, as it is a mild sedative and hypnotic. If you want something stronger than that, then you should take the saintly herb. If you want to sleep without medication, ask forgiveness more, as the devil will hasten your sleep so that you will not reap more good deeds.
2- You suffer from a general failure in the body that you do not know the cause of. You should drink rosemary tea and do not drink too much of it
You have general weakness caused by a lack of vitamins, so you should use molokhiya, as it is very rich in vitamins and minerals and does not lose its properties with excessive boiling. Sesame is also a tonic, and sesame and moringa are a good nutritional supplement, even for pregnant women.
3- If you suffer from anemia, do not eat lentils without drops of lemon in them. The iron in lentils does not benefit the body without acid. Molokhiya is also rich in minerals, and palmetto and spinach are also useful.
4- If you suffer from gases, you should use chamomile, anise, black lemon, or mint of all kinds, but do not eat them in large quantities, as these types reduce blood pressure.
5- If you suffer from constipation, you should eat peeled apples or senna, but do not eat too much of them. Dates are also beneficial, and green tea is beneficial.
6- If you suffer from fatty liver, you should use pumpkin juice to find results in less than a month
7- Jaundice or mullein. Sprinkle the juice of the tamarisk herb in the nose, which will remove it in two days. Or eat goat meat or pigeons smoked on the leaves of the tar tree.
If he is an infant, spread a thin melissa leaf (Yemeni Sidr) leaf under his bed and let him sleep on the bed, and it will usually go away in three days. This is what is proven in herbal medicine.
7- If your husband suffers from weakness and is embarrassed, if your blood pressure is moderate, then you should take whey herb and ginseng mixed with honey, with onion, pumpkin and carrot seeds added, and if you want it to be stronger, add royal jelly.
As for the diabetic patient, he should take zinc, which will benefit him in this, or dates, which are a tonic, and the sugar fructose generates the necessary energy without the need for insulin, as explained by Dr. Abdel Basit Al-Sayed in his book Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine, Part 2.
8- As for the woman, she should take anise or soybean tea, as they raise the estrogen hormone, and fenugreek is also a stimulant. If she does not feel any feelings for her husband at all, this is due to a lack of iodine, and her cycle is often disturbed, accompanied by headaches.
9- If you suffer from severe depression, anxiety, and sadness, you should recite the Prophet’s Talbinah, as its results are amazing. The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: (It calms the heart and removes some sadness.)
It is also beneficial for the beauty of the face, and for permanent facial beauty, you should use the mate herb (Levantine Map), as it stimulates collagen in the skin.

How long did your guys pain last after surgery?
I am about 2 and a half weeks post op from quad autograft and walking with 1 crutch now. The last few days I have been woken up with pretty bad pain in my knee. I am not sure if it is soreness or real pain but it has been bad enough to keep me awake at night. I also experience swelling still, but not swollen 24/7 it is usually at the end of the day or if I stand too long. I ride a stationary bike for 30 mins total a day (split into 3 ten minute rides) and do an array of other exercises my PT gave me.
Just wanted to see how people felt at this point into recovery and if pain and occasional swelling is still normal?

Has anyone dealt with this? I now know it's the root causes of my being sick for 10 years. Sinus pressure, fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, sinus swelling, ear fullness, reflux, light sensitivity, vertigo, smell sensitivity, dermatitis, IBS, headaches, bruxism, joint pain, tired eyes, irritability, etc.
I've wasted so many thousand of dollars. Don't know what to do next. I think it's coming from the attic. I'm in central Texas and a disabled veteran. There seems to be no resources to help us.

Hello Sebderm !
Has anyone had issues with the new ingredients in this product? I had been using the old formula for years with great success, as it helped me get rid of irritation and flakes on my face. However, the new version is causing me a lot of discomfort.
I have also tried similar products for seborrheic dermatitis from Uriage and Bioderma Sensibio, but they don't make me feel comfortable after washing either.
Has anyone facing the same issues found a solution with another facial cleanser? Any suggestions?

I play exclusively 8-9 difficulties, and i noticed a big flaw in the defend the assets mission with the automatons. I love this mission type, really cool last stand, but the strider with backmounted canon can just ruin the mission easily. Ennemies are supposed to go through 3 chokepoints to kill the generators that you have to defend, and on the right (when facing ennemies) of the last chokepoint there is the pelican landing zone. This flat space is directly adjacent to the "exterior" of the complex where ennemies can spawn.
The issue is : A strider with back mounted canon is tall enough to have direct line of fire on the generators throught the pelican landing zone, and can oneshot them.
Most of the striders will do the mission "as intended" by fighting you to get to the objective, but sometime, one will spawn on the far right, where you cannot see it if you are defending the main gates, and just kill the generators in 30s without you even knowing. Sometimes after 2 mins, sometimes after 15 mins of tedious battle, and that feels really unfair.
We even tried with buddies to have dudes defending the pelican landing zone to prevent this from happening, but since they are pretty tough to kill and can oneshot the generators, they often succeed just cause we took more than 20s to kill them. They spawn, land, and instant 360 no scope the objective despite us, holding the defense strong on 9th difficulty.
TLDR: Striders can oneshot generators from the exterior of the complex by shooting their back canon over the cliff of the pelican landing zone because they are very tall. Bypassing all your defenses, and causing you to fail the mission without even knowing that the generator are attacked.

I was once very close like siblings to my best friend that well call Danny for a couple of decades, both of us early 30s. But when it came time to get married during the start of COVID (April 2020) instead of telling me in person or over the phone I wasn't invited to the wedding he sent a message on Facebook that my groomsmen gifts would be on the porch to pick up and maybe I could watch on socials. This shocked me because it was known that the wedding would be downsized and done at the home, but myself and a few other people were expected to still be there as of a couple days prior. There was a very minor chance I potentially had Covid which was the reason given, but that was 2 weeks prior and neither myself or our other friend involved in the ceremony totally bought it.
i told him that I felt like I was getting broken up with via text, asked why he couldn't have talked outside but a distance apart like adults. I'm not just anybody, I'm their oldest friend, they were my best man at my wedding, and I was helping with theirs. I got yelled at and disregarded, simply for asking why he couldn't have done it face to face. I decided to just stop talking at that point, I was pissed an d felt a little betrayed. Our other friend played middle man for weeks and eventually got us to meet. Then I found out that apparently because I got engaged shortly after him (a few weeks) he started to think I was copying him. Why is beyond me, as my relationship with my wife is one that everyone in our friend group and everyone we know claims is one of the strongest they've seen. Everyone had a blast at our wedding, thought it was beautiful and fun and the best they had been to (still get told this).
Our engagements had been 2 years prior, and he let this thought just fester the entire time. He can be a very paranoid person and quick to anger, so this didn't totally shock me. It lead to him thinking I was doing things only because he was, I was growing distant from our friend group (I wasn't he stopped inviting me),and changed attitude that apparently only he saw. I apologized for a few things I did he had issues with (that even the friend present agreed were minor) but he only apologized for his tone when I got pissed with him initially. Never said why he didn't bring anything up and acted very self righteous the whole time. His wife was there too and was in the background like the most ratchet cheerleader I've ever seen, chiming in every now and then with some white trash remark or sound.
I basically came to the conclusion that his paranoia and those around him (the wife and his family who are similar) were causing him to change drastically for the worst, and he seemed to legitimately believe my relationship was only moving towards marriage because his was. It didn't seem like we got anywhere, and he refused to apologize for anything aside from the tone he took. So at that point I decided I needed to just end things and step away from that friendship. It's been almost 4 years now, and he's never tried reaching back out. Last I heard the two of them divorced after she had a kid with him, which some saw coming a mile away. But I sometimes still wonder if I was the asshole for how I handled it and just abandoning him after decades of friendship. So am I the asshole?

A few days ago I went to have one of my lower wisdom teeth extracted (erupted, not impacted) unfortunately it absolutely refused to play nice with my dentist. He tried everything he could but it wouldn’t budge beyond a little bit of movement. He’s referring me to a surgeon but I was quite loopy at the time from the experience when he was talking aftercare and didn’t absorb it like I should have and the office is closed now, so I can’t call till Monday.
The tooth broke during the attempt so I think all I’ve got left is at the gum line and below. He did something to my gum to get better access so that is pretty sore. Remaining tooth doesn’t hurt, just the gum and my face/jaw from all the pressure.
At the moment I’m swollen but the pain is decreasing everyday, bleeding has totally stopped, but the whole site is covered in this white stuff? It’s all around the gum trauma and over the entirety of the remaining tooth (can’t even see the tooth because of it). I don’t know if this is food, plaque or some healing process that I shouldn’t blunder around with. Should I brush it away or leave it alone? I’ve been doing salt rinses for the gum, icing my cheek and keeping up with painkillers. Which is helping a lot, salt rinses don’t budge the white stuff at all though.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
(I don’t drink or smoke, it’s hard to open my mouth wide enough to get a picture right now, but I can try again in a while)
