2024.05.19 00:19 LaFrescaTrumpeta Undiagnosed chronic back pain, could MRI miss lipomas if docs weren’t specifically looking for those?
patient is F28 about 5’3 maybe 150 pounds, will try to get med info in an edit asap. she was a chronic smoker for several years before quitting after pneumonia bout
ok so this is incredibly important, we’re wondering if lipomas are the answer to my gf’s debilitating and undiagnosed chronic neck & back pain of 3+ years. would greatly appreciate anyone’s feedback. description of symptoms near the end if you wanna skip background.
my gf has one of the worst chronic back issues i’ve seen, and it’s completely undiagnosed. she had a scary severe case of covid pneumonia for several months and somewhere along the way developed chronic pain in her neck, iirc it was characterized by sharp severe pain where she could barely move her head left or right at all without major pain. that lasted two years with no solution/diagnosis to be found.
one night a year ago she was laying in bed and reached over to grab something and felt pain shoot down her back. can’t remember if it was the next morning or gradual over days/weeks but basically the pain ended up traveling almost entirely from her neck to her mid to lower back. she can now move her neck almost like normal with little pain, but her back is now an absolute nightmare. she can’t work, standing up and sitting down is a deliberate cautious affair, her entire life is centered around this and the debilitating 10/10 pain (she said 14/10 without meds, 9/10 with).
PRIMARY SYMPTOMS: -muscle spasms that travel (yesterday they were bad, she tried massaging herself and ended up “riddled” with spasms) and when i trace her back she can’t tell me exactly where the spasms are bc they move so much ig? she had trouble articulating what she felt and why i couldn’t pinpoint it. they’re less painful the more sleep she gets in a night -pressure pain the spasms are always “on,” the only slight relief she gets is when there’s no pressure on them. laying back in a seat is hell, she has a heat pad that left marks on her skin bc she had to use it so high and often to feel some relief (she now uses the lowest setting after discovering the skin thing)
big one: moveable lumps under skins i don’t know her history of how hard doctors looked into the lumps but she feels two noticeable ones right up against her spine in the center of where the pain and spasms usually gravitate. she can move them around without massive spikes in pain (possible these two aren’t relevant but smaller undetected ones are???)
somewhere along the way she was told or got the impression that those lumps weren’t related to her spasms or pain. however from what she’s told me no doctor has ever really looked at them more than cursory (which i asked several times for her to confirm cuz that sounds insane to me). she has had an insane amount of tests done (like, recently ruled out MS) including a full body MRI but it found nothing, and they weren’t looking specifically for lipomas.
No one has ever said the word lipomas to her. she randomly found the word a couple days ago and found some posts on the lipomas sub i think, one of which was another chronic back pain case and 100% relatable to her. she went on to find info about how these can be painful and hard to detect when they’re in muscle tissue and up against nerves or the spine.
but she’s nervous this isn’t the answer because she thinks they would have spotted this on the MRI.
would they have, if they didn’t know to look for these specifically? i see cases of people saying theirs got painful and doctors severely underestimated their size when they were removed.. i’m worried she has small ones all over her back and maybe even neck? i saw they have some kind of causal relationship with the severity of pneumonia so i’m wondering if tiny hard to detect ones are in her lungs too.
begging for any information/suggestions/insights. tears on my cheeks as i type this out at the possibility that this might finally, fiiiiiinally be the answer to chronic pain that has made her suicidal at times. thank you for reading, and especially thanks to those of you physicians who take time to reply. this sub seems incredibly valuable.

2024.05.19 00:18 LordGaulis Skaven are beastman? Or are they? (Theory)
Saltpyre from vermintide insists they are beastman who worship a different god, and while the details in the poem where the skaven are first mention doom of Kavzar is intentionally vague we do know two things.
When all remaining survivors of the disaster in their despair turn to chaos, offering human sacrifices and performing rituals to seek aid from the chaos gods nothing happens… with the screaming bell hinted at being the cause. Shortly after the skaven appear out of nowhere and claim to be the lords of the city and all the dwarfs below are dead with the new skaven lords ruling below in their hold.
Whoever wrote this poem was probably either there or had spoken with the survivors who fled before the very end, so not everyone is being included in this account which may have been altered over the years. What if some of the human survivors had become something else?
Assuming the horned rat didn’t exist before the doom of Kavzar then someone in the poem probably becomes the horned rat and who better than the mysterious grey man who fooled them all? All of Kavzar problems started when he finished the tower with a addition of his own god, himself! (Probably) The events of the poem happen slowly at first with endless rain causing a famine snowballing into meteor showers as more people die from starvation. The screaming bell block the aid of good and evil leaving the horned rat in control?
Imagine this situation the logical answer to your food problems were stealing and cannibalism, which would have the group kick you out so lies and deceit became your trade. Whether it was gradual or sudden chaos infesting the city would have turned you into a form that best represents these traits, a rat.
Ironically these ratman would then really be the lords of the city with the black hunger that makes then ravenous a constant reminder of their sins. As far as ratman are concerned everyone in the city still belongs to them and the dwarfs refusal to help earlier and belief they were hoarding halls filled with food made these new ratman attack them and by the time they appear in the poem have likely killed all the dwarfs and eaten whatever food stores were left.
Some among them were probably chosen by the horned rat hearing his voice perhaps for showing particular cunning or because they held power as lords of Kavzar becoming over time grey seers acting on a great plan, a vermintide! But as soon as the poem ends with all remaining humans dead and eaten no food would have cause a civil war that would have destroyed any accounts made by the ratman on the doom of Kavzar and all their education and technology to be lost as most rats don’t care about history. With the horned rat plans constantly failing due to the nature of a rat… Even the name skaven is likely given to them by other races and since be adopted as if they called themselves anything else it would have soon been lost and forgotten in the constant infighting and civil wars, again most rats don’t care about history.
This is my favourite but not the only possibility, they were always rats in the city, maybe they mutated into bigger rats? Children were born deformed maybe maturing quickly into full grown skaven? But these aren’t as twisted as mine, making the choice rather then the choice being made for you is always more interesting… that the people of Kazar in their vanity to touch the heavens fell literally into a hellhole of their own making!
P.s sry for the length of this post but wanted to clue you in on the key parts doom of Kavzar for those who hadn’t read it I have a post somewhere with the full story! Having the skaven being once human implies even they can be redeemed? It also is a warning that humans are more capable of cruelty than any other race in warhammer… on a bad day….

2024.05.19 00:18 SiestaFiend I dated a RED PILL COMMUNITY guy
Hi, I'd like to start with introducing myself. I'm 24F and Last year this time of the year, I was dating a guy who was a follower of the red pill community. We were in a long distance relationship and met only a few times. The relationship was about 8-9 Months long. For people who are not aware about it, Red pill community is a group of guys that blame females for all there problems and they feel that females are privileged and hence, They've always have an upper hand and have ruined their life by taking away their opportunities and what now.
I wasnt aware what i was getting myself into but I want to make others aware. So I'll talk about the various "red flags" of my relationship and how it affected me. I am not longer in a relationship with that guys.
I have trust issues (ofc!) and It's been hard to undo the damage. I started dated a new guy recently and caught myself saying You cant have girl best friends and it broke my heart later when I realized. Its a long healing path for me. If any of you are experiencing something similar, Please be aware.

I wasnt aware what i was getting myself into but I want to make others aware. So I'll talk about the various "red flags" of my relationship and how it affected me. I am not longer in a relationship with that guys.
- Guy Friends: We meet online and his initial communication never showed any hatred for women as such. He seemed interested in me and quickly asked me to date him as well. He would often "praise" that I had no guy friends which was a "green flag". (In reality I had no friends, let alone male friends.) He said girls with boyfriends should not have guy friends. Its disrespectful to the boyfriend. Even thou, He has a female best friend. I took this lightly. Later in our relationship, he made me unfollow a bunch of guys on instagram. They were former classmates and colleagues. I'd not met most of them for years and months. He would often ask me if my dad had female friends or if my mom had male friends and when I would say no. He would say, See because one shouldnt friends of opposite gender
- Clubbing: He hated girls who were open about their sexuality and would call them names. He said girls in a relationship should not go to clubs as thats a "hoe" place to be in. I remember fighting to go to a club when an old friend was visiting me and she wanted to go to one of our fave clubs from our college days. He said he is disappointed in me and that going to clubs with a single friend is the worst as she might try to hook up with guys and I'll be left alone and then someone will hookup with me. He said and I quote "I will not leave my car in a shady areas and pray to god that it doesnt get stolen. It's my mistake I went there at the first place." I ended up going to a bar instead of a club. He made me feel really bad about that as well later.
- Content: After the 2nd month he would send me red pill youtube and reddit content to normalize such preaching and thats when things really got out of hand because I didnt know what to believe and what not to. I thought maybe I was delusional my whole life and that this is the "reality of the world" where women are these "ruthless" beings. (He said I was special because I was trying to make myself aware about it). He specifically showed and talked about this one story where the wife cheats on her husband because he's always busy at work (He said the poor guy is working his ass off for the family and the wife is so ungrateful) The wife cheats and marries her boyfriend and takes the kid and the guy's money and what not. I'm not saying cheating is good but the interruption of every story led to the same conclusion that women are bad. He said this is the reality. I started questioning myself more and more as I got trapped in the red-pill community.
- Future: He was very sure about our future and said that he wanted me to be his wife. He said he doesnt want me to work. Females should stay at home cook and clean and take care of the babies. He said it would hurt him to see me work as he's the man of the house.
- Comments on Body: I'm overweight atm but when I was dating him I used to be in better shape. He said He likes that I take care of my body and anything else would be a disrespect to the person you are dating. One should always look like how they looked when they first started dating. One shouldnt "let go" of their body. He used to go to the gym and would insist that I go to. Later in the relationship towards the end, I started my masters and Couldnt be active. The relationship was taking a toll on me as well and I started gaining weight. He would comment on it. I would share photos with him and the first comment would always be like "you look thin in this" or " Oh! In picture toh you look fine only " He did motivate me to go to the gym which i was grateful about but at that point I only went to make him happy and not because I actually wanted to go.
I have trust issues (ofc!) and It's been hard to undo the damage. I started dated a new guy recently and caught myself saying You cant have girl best friends and it broke my heart later when I realized. Its a long healing path for me. If any of you are experiencing something similar, Please be aware.
2024.05.19 00:17 Blade_of_Boniface Collection of St. John Chrysostom quotes criticizing the elites' treatment of the vulnerable.
I compiled these a long time ago in response to a relevant article about St. Chrysostom. I'm posting them here again since several people since then said they were immensely helpful and that they merit a post of their own. Feel free to discuss them and post other Church Father's social teaching in the comments below.

You eat in excess. Christ eats not even what he needs. You eat a variety of cakes. He eats not even a piece of dried bread. You drink fine Thracian wine. On Him you have not bestowed so much as a cup of cold water. You lie on a soft and embroidered bed. He is perishing in the cold….....
You live in luxury on things that properly belong to Him….
....At the moment, you have taken possession of the resources that belong to Christ and you consume them aimlessly. Don’t you realize that you are going to be held accountable?
St. John Chrysostom's Homily on the Gospel of Matthew XLVIII
Do you wish to honor the Body of the Savior? Do not despise Him when He is naked. Do not honor Him in church with silk vestments while outside He is naked and numb with cold. He who said, "This is my body." and made it so by His word, is the same that said, "You saw me hungry and you gave me no food. As you did it not to the least of these, you did it not to me." Honor Him then by sharing your property with the poor. For what God needs is not golden chalices but golden souls.....
.…It is such a slight thing I beg….
....nothing very expensive…
....bread, a roof, words of comfort. If the rewards I promised hold no appeal for you, then show at least a natural compassion when you see me naked, and remember the nakedness I endured for you on the cross….
....I fasted for you then, and I suffer for you now. I was thirsty when I hung on the cross, and I thirst still in the poor, in both ways to draw you to myself to make you humane for your own salvation.
St. John Chrysostom's Homily on the Gospel of Matthew L
....When Christ is famishing, do you revel in such luxury, act so foolishly?........
....Another, made after the image of God, is perishing of cold. Yet, you’re furnishing yourself with such things as these? Oh the senseless pride!....
St. John Chrysostom's Homily on the Letter to the Colossians VII
....He is not rich who is surrounded by many possessions, but he who does not need many possessions. He is not poor who possesses nothing, but he who requires many things. We ought to consider this to be the distinction between poverty and wealth. When, therefore, you see any one longing for many things, esteem him of all men the poorest, even though he possess all manner of wealth. Again, when you see one who does not wish for many things, judge him to be of all men most affluent, even if he possess nothing. For by the condition of our mind, not by the quantity of our material wealth, should it be our custom to distinguish between poverty and affluence….....
....It's as if we were sitting in a theater, and looking at the players on the stage. Do not, when you see many abounding in wealth, think that they are in reality wealthy, but dressed up in the semblance of wealth. And as one man, representing on the stage a king or a general, often may prove to be a household servant, or one of those who sell figs or grapes in the market. Therefore the rich man may often chance to be the poorest of all. For if you remove his mask and examine his conscience, and enter into his inner mind, you will find there great poverty as to virtue, and ascertain that he is the meanest of men. As also, in the theater, as evening closes in, and the spectators depart, those who come forth divested of their theatrical ornaments, who seemed to all to be kings and generals, now are seen to be whatever they are in reality. Even so with respect to this life, when death comes, and the theater is deserted, when all, having put off their masks of wealth or of poverty, depart hence, being judged only by their works, they appear, some really rich, some poor. Some appear in honor, some in dishonor. Therefore it often happens, that one of those who are here the most wealthy, is there most poor…
....This also is robber, not to impart our good things to others….
....It is said to be deprivation when we retain things taken from others. And in this way, therefore, we are taught that if we do not bestow alms, we shall be treated in the same way as those who have been extortioners. Our Lord’s things they are, from whenever we may obtain them. And if we distribute to the needy we shall obtain for ourselves great abundance. And for this it is that God has permitted you to possess much. This doesn't mean you should spend it in fornication, in drunkenness, in gluttony, in rich clothing, or any other mode of luxury, but that you should distribute it to the needy. And just as if a receiver of taxes, having in charge the king’s property, should not distribute it to those for whom it is ordered, but should spend it for his own enjoyment, he would pay the penalty and come to ruin. Therefore also the rich man is, as it were, a receiver of goods which are destined to be dispensed to the poor, to those of his fellow-servants who are in want. If he then should spend upon himself more than he really needs, he will pay hereafter a heavy penalty. For the things he has are not his own, but are the things of his fellow-servants.
....Not to share our own riches with the poor is a robbery of the poor, and a depriving them of their livelihood. That which we possess is not only our own, but also theirs.
St. John Chrysostom's Discourse on the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus II
....Do you wish to see His altar?........
....This altar is composed of the very members of Christ…This altar you can see lying everywhere, in the alleys and in the markets and you can sacrifice upon it anytime.
....invoke the spirit not with words but with deeds.
St. John Chrysostom's Homily on the Second Letter to the Corinthians XX
....Tell me, then, what is the source of your wealth? From whom did you receive it, and from whom the one who transmitted it to you? From his father and his grandfather." Yet can you go back through the many generations and show the acquisition just? It cannot be. The root and origin of it must have been injustice. Why? Because God in the beginning did not make one man rich and another poor. Nor did He later show one treasures of gold and deny the other the right to search for it. He left the earth free to all alike. Why then, if it is common, do you have so many acres of land, while your neighbor has no portion of it?........
St. John Chrysostom's Homily on the First Letter to Timothy XII
....I am often reproached for continually attacking the rich. Yes, because the rich are continually attacking the poor. But those I attack are not the rich as such, only those who misuse their wealth. I point out constantly that those I accuse are not the rich but the rapacious. Wealth is one thing, covetousness another. Learn to distinguish....

2024.05.19 00:17 Front_Comfortable_53 How do I overcome body shaming as a man (31M) from women (30F) on dates?
Tl:dr: As a man, I have gotten shamed for my sexual performance or my organ when what I am being shamed for is not in their control. Both men and women deserve to be treated kindly and respectfully during sex, whether it's during the first few dates or during an ONS.
As a man, I have had first-hand experiences with women on dates objectifying me and shaming me for any of the following:
I have had women say “really??” and then wear their pants and walk out in rage or disdain as if I intentionally did something to hurt or offend them. Women may think it’s selfish of me when I am not getting it up or coming too fast. But I wish they understood that we don’t control our organ at will. It's not a switch that I can press.
Why would I want to come too fast or not get it up? Of course, men are trying to please the woman and to please themselves but failing.
Before you say, “learn to please them differently”, let me tell you I would love to. But in my experiences, women don’t even give me a chance for that. They’re just too disappointed with my ED or PE, and make a face and leave, without any conversation. It feels very hurtful, and degrading and I feel like an object.
Before you say, "you may have lifestyle issues", I actually am averagely lean at 17% body fat, work out 2-3 days a week, and get 8k steps and 7 hours of sleep. I only drink socially 1x a week and don't smoke weed or cigarettes.
Before you say, "get to know the person and get some experience", I don't understand how am I supposed to get experience if women walk out of the door because of a poor first time sexual experience?
I am sure a woman would consider it rude af if I got up and left in a rush right after sex or said demeaning things to her. Even if it’s a ONS, men and women deserve to be treated respectfully, gracefully and with empathy.

2024.05.19 00:16 Lordmoral Kaiju No8 Kaiju Categories and Mina power level
This intel is from the wikia and manga so some small technical spoilers: the numbered Kaiju like No8 and No9 are freaks that reached the level of Daikaiju while the Yoju seem to be the mobs. Honjus are typically mob leaders and can be at Daikaiju level and those in turn can take the role of Honjus or operate alone (think 9 and 8). There is this special category which is called the "Identified Kaiju" which are Daikajus that need multiple officers and many time to track and take down (again, 8 and 9) and that their bodies are then weaponized for human use after they are gifted to Top Officers.
Kaiju are also measured by Fortitude (so specific Kaiju size isn't a factor): 0 through 6 (or above in some cases) are Yoju, above 6 and up are the Hojus and, inside that category, the fortitude that Kafka power showed was at 9.8 a few episodes ago. Oh, and Yojus, can create other Yojus or be created from a Honu as shown in this video.
Size is indeed a category but, again, it doesn't necessarily mean stronger the bigger it, are: miniature, midsized, giant and supergiant. I believe that this Honju fell in the Supergiant category while the Yoju in the Midsized category when they are active oh, and it seemed these Kaijus were modified for this mission add that factor in.
For record, we don't really know if that parasitic fly was No8 actual size but, if so, that mean that is a bit above a Miniature sized Identified Daikaju. Factor that topic and you can get a level of apocalyptic danger that this world has just been exposed if the Daikaju can be rat sized or even smaller.
In the other spectrum, the DF suits are clearly explained in Episode 3 that the closer you are to 100% the closer you are to the Kaiju suit you are wearing but, as we will see eventually, the closer that Officers are to that number the greater the danger their lives run of being cooked by the suits. Mina has always been a freak, Hoshina tried to get very close to her numbers in the midst of combat but he almost collapse. Bakko is a mystery in of it itself since Chapter 106.1 showed him and Mina in a laboratory so there might be more to the Defense Force desperate attempts at combating Kaijus.
Kafka and 9 are also monsters in their own right as Kafka showed 0% percent of tuning but the man already had a suit so it might be that No8 is adjusting itself to the DF equipment so, if 8 can absorb that gear the numbered users might want to keep their distance when Kafka is fighting against a particular strong enemy. Mina the freak (apologize but this woman has been like this since her start in the DF) isn't so tired or overheated for likely one or two reasons: she is always being transported to and from her firing positions and, unless she is using small arms fire with an equal monster of a strength, her metabolism isn't cooking her up; the second factor might just be something in her particular genes that No9 wanted for himself. Give Mina some regeneration powers as well with her being so in tune with the DF gear you have yourself someone who can give Kafka and 8 a run for his money beyond the other numbered users.
Number 9 has been shown to grow stronger and can manipulate the Kaiju so take that into notice during current events,>! Kafka and 8 will need help to finish him up for good and I have the following tag teams that can make it on time: Bakko and/or Mina depending if she goes a controlled mutation!<.

Kaiju are also measured by Fortitude (so specific Kaiju size isn't a factor): 0 through 6 (or above in some cases) are Yoju, above 6 and up are the Hojus and, inside that category, the fortitude that Kafka power showed was at 9.8 a few episodes ago. Oh, and Yojus, can create other Yojus or be created from a Honu as shown in this video.
Size is indeed a category but, again, it doesn't necessarily mean stronger the bigger it, are: miniature, midsized, giant and supergiant. I believe that this Honju fell in the Supergiant category while the Yoju in the Midsized category when they are active oh, and it seemed these Kaijus were modified for this mission add that factor in.
For record, we don't really know if that parasitic fly was No8 actual size but, if so, that mean that is a bit above a Miniature sized Identified Daikaju. Factor that topic and you can get a level of apocalyptic danger that this world has just been exposed if the Daikaju can be rat sized or even smaller.

2024.05.19 00:15 xela_nut Archetypes of Ragnarok: Round 2 End: Jormungandr vs. The Captain
The Flying Dutchman was shattered into pieces. Various bits of wood and large chunks of the ship were scattered across the sea. Jormungandr breathed heavily, poisonous blood pouring out of countless wounds in his body and turning the sea purple.
Odin had a wide smile on his face, not bothering to hide his joy at Jormungandr's impending death. The rest of the gods were grimacing.
"Looks like Jormungandr wasn't strong after all," one said.
"He's just some overgrown snake," another stated.
"Odin just sent him in here to die. He's a damn coward that's willing to let us gods lose if it can save his son's life," a third mocked.
On what was left of the ship's crow's nest, the Captain stood. He laughed as he hoisted a canon over his shoulder. There wasn't a single wound on his body. Humanity and the other archetypes cheered the Captain on.
"You can do it!"
"You've got him on the ropes! Take him out, now!"
"Finish this, Captain!"
"I've got you now, beast!" the Captain declared. "Greatest of all sea monsters! Your death will be my greatest achievement!"
"You still call me a sea monster?" Jormungandr glared.
"Hey! You should be proud of yourself! Nothing but the sea could have made something as glorious as you!"
The Captain motioned around himself.
"Look at the glistening waves, the shining water, the vastness. Isn't the sea beautiful? Have you ever taken a moment to enjoy it?" he asked.
Jormungandr looked around. The Captain was right. Jormungandr had been so consumed by rage and hatred that he had never tried to enjoy the ocean.
A sense of peace came over Jormungandr. He saw the waves, the water, and how vast the ocean was. It made him feel small. Jormungandr liked that feeling. The sea made him feel nostalgic, reminding him of when he was a normal-sized sea serpent. These waters made him forget about his hated current form.
"After this, I will stay on the surface more often," Jormungandr decided.
"There is no after this, I'm afraid," the Captain aimed his canon. "This is the end for you."
The canon ignited with a loud explosion. Flushed with new energy, Jormungandr smacked the cannonball aside with his tail. It slammed into the mast under the Captain, destroying it.
There was a crash as the Captain fell and collided with the bits of the ship below. He stood up, blood from minor scratches on his face, and grinned. The Captain grabbed the mast of the ship like a pike.
"Alright, Jomungandr, I'm coming for you!" the Captain shouted.
"I'd be willing to surrender, but it's...death or glory, you called it?" Jormungandr asked.
"Yes! To win glory in victory or die at sea! That is the only path I can take!"
The Captain jumped into the water and swam at Jormungandr, fighting back against the poisonous blood in the water. Normally, the sea serpent would have dodged the attack. However, it was filled with pain from its countless wounds. Jormungandr was not fast enough, and the Captain's weapon pierced deep into the monster.
Its blood poured out like a waterfall, crashing onto the Captain. His veins bulged, his body cringed inward, and his mouth opened to let out a scream of agony. Instead, poison flowed into his mouth and down his throat.
He thought he could close up the wound with the mast to keep blood from coming out. The Captain thought that he'd die smiling if he died in this battle.
Instead, his body faded into a green mist as he died in agony.
"Unfortunate. Truly unfortunate," Herman Melville wiped away his tears.
"So long, Captain," Robert Louis Stevenson clasped his hands in prayer.
"Heh," Blackbeard gave a sad smile. "He died like a true pirate."
"Yes. Charging headfirst into glory or death," Ching Shieh agreed. "Though, dying of old age is better in my opinion."
For a moment, silence overtook the arena. Heimdall flew to the water's surface to confirm the Captain's death. Then, he spoke into his horn.
"The winner of Round 2 of Ragnarok is the gods!"
Jormungandr vs. The Captain.
Victor: Jomungandr.
Match Length: 18 minutes and 38 seconds.
Deciding Move: Captain's Charge.
Humans 1 - 1 Gods.

2024.05.19 00:15 Jumpy-Reflection-263 As a Sinhala person, WTF are we celebrating?
Long Rant here and i dont really care if i get downvoted or banned.
But what the fuck are we celebrating?
Oh yeah, we fucked our country to the point where our own Tamil brothers and sisters (with whom weve lived side by side with for good portions of the last 2000 years), felt like they had no choice but to pick up a g*n and start a war. And then have that war destory the entire island for 30 years. And then only have the war end in the death of tens of thousands of innocent civilians.
Yeah go us! /s
WTF is wrong with everyone? The fact that people celebrate this as "Victory" Day is not only so unbelievably insensitive but just proves that our people havent learnt SHIT.
Im not saying you have to be spineless and lick the ass of LTTE either. They did fucked up shit to Sinhala people and Muslim people (including ethnic cleansing, bombings and all the other fucked up stuff), and even Tamil people too. There is a time and place for that criticism too.
But my god, look at things in context. There were at least 4 seperate pogroms against Tamils prior to the war. When Tamils protested peacefully, they were violently assaulted or ignored.
Ill tell you a story of one of my uncles. He is one of dads oldest friends. This is a man who has known me since birth and i have photos of me sitting on his lap when I was a kid.
A few years ago my dad told me of what happened to this uncle during Black July '83. He was hiding in a drain on the side of the road desperately trying to avoid being found by the racist murderous mobs of Sinhala rioters.
Can you imagine that? A human being hiding in a drain because he was that scared?
Its very easy to say LTTE this, Tamil Diaspora this etc etc. But all of this is a symptom of what the country has created. The cruelty we have inflicted upon them.
For a country apparently based on "Buddhism" and protecting the "values of the Dhamma", we sure do a great job of showing absolutely zero compassion for people when it becomes slightly inconvenient.
I dont know how well I expressed myself but here are a few quotes from Lasantha Wickramatunge, a Sinhala journalist who was allegedly assassinated by the Government in 2009. These quotes are still relevant today.
"we have consistently espoused the view that while separatist terrorism must be eradicated, it is more important to address the root causes of terrorism, and urged government to view Sri Lanka’s ethnic strife in the context of history and not through the telescope of terrorism. We have also agitated against state terrorism in the so-called war against terror, and made no secret of our horror that Sri Lanka is the only country in the world routinely to bomb its own citizens. For these views we have been labelled traitors, and if this be treachery, we wear that label proudly."
"What is more, a military occupation of the country’s north and east will require the Tamil people of those regions to live eternally as second-class citizens, deprived of all self respect. Do not imagine that you can placate them by showering “development” and “reconstruction” on them in the post-war era. The wounds of war will scar them forever, and you will also have an even more bitter and hateful Diaspora to contend with. A problem amenable to a political solution will thus become a festering wound that will yield strife for all eternity. If I seem angry and frustrated, it is only because most of my countrymen - and all of the government - cannot see this writing so plainly on the wall."

2024.05.19 00:15 According-Beat7790 Fairly new to the gym. Help a guy out?
Just wondering. I have been going religiously for a little over two months. I have seen some muscle growth but it’s mostly just been losing body fat. What are the best ways to build muscle to look big but not plateau? I’ve been concentrating on eating healthier and meeting protein goals. How long does it typically take to truly build muscle? I also want to have broader shoulders and bigger pecks. As well as biceps and triceps. (Don’t worry I’m not skipping leg day haha) any tips to help a newbie??

“A human reviewed your post and removed it from public view. The reason they gave was: No hands, Skin, or other body parts in photos. This is for your own security. It's a risk to your safety and it probably means you've just taken a NO-EFFORT CELLPHONE PHOTO of what you just picked up.” 🤣

2024.05.19 00:11 DijonPixie I just wanted to vent my overwhelming sadness
I'm just saying everything on My mind please be nice and kind
(I'm 27m) I just feel an overwhelming sadness and feel I might lose a friend I might be overthinking, since i know they said they're still here and don't intend to break our friendship bond (which I'm happy) they just need some time away like a vacation to look at things from an unbiased view. But I hate being human and feeling everything and hate feeling like I'm emo and emotional 😢 I miss them I miss my friend . And the more I feel the more it gets to me man, I feel like blaming the important who I was close to me the first time they passed away and another important person who was the one who helped me through it, that ended up leaving to start a chapter without me in their life, I just feel like blaming them for making me the way I am and I feel bad and I shouldn't do it, and even though my family was there for me when i was young since I'm a dwarf and I had health problems I was in and out of hospital a lot and even though they were there for me they my mum wasn't actually attending to my childhood emotions needs properly and I realise now that some of it might be becuz the way her family was when she was younger I'm just assume, but I also can't help but blame them for the emotional abuse in the pass and my dad's physically abusing me and my siblings in the pass and now my family is saying he is changing and he doesn't even remember what he did. out of my siblings, I am the only one who loathe and despise him more than anything.
I'm actually trying to do this self discovery thing and trying to actually help and better myself so that when my friend returns we can both be in a better mindset, I'm literally actually trying to push myself to go on walks well I'm trying to learn how to get to the place first since I struggle to know where the places at I'm also trying to improve my art skills and creative writing.
but everytime I feel like I'm getting there it just feels like I'm being dragged back in that darkness and just falling and becuz Sometimes I feel I don't understand certain social cues or because of my learning difficulties it sometimes make things hard for me to understand what people mean or what they're trying to say and everything is soo hard mate.
And people always say I'm always in my bubble or always in my head it's becuz of this they don't mean it in the bad way Everything was much easier when I was hiding everything from me being cheerful and goofy and making a fool out of myself I was always someone who had pure, innocent, kind intentions and that is me and now I just want to scream and destroy everything and lash out from all this pain and sadness and anxious I'm feeling
And I just want to be happy with the ones I care about and love and make them feel care about, supported and loved and make them feel like I have their back
I remember feeling faint and weak from the thought of being left and I think I had a mild anxiety attack i managed to calm myself
people say you're just being human it's ok. I need to distracted my mind think calmly even when I'm home Even now I want to cry but when I do I just cry silently in my room so I don't wake my family
I'm sorry for saying this I dunno why I feel bad now but trust when I say I was never like this before
Might delete later when my mind is calm

2024.05.19 00:09 Beneficial-Bet8531 First Child/Miscarriage
Hi Everyone,
On Mothers Day morning, which was also my birthday, I started spotting, which was my very first bleeding down there during my entire pregnancy. I was supposed to be coming up on 17 weeks the following Monday. Long story short, I went to the ER Monday night and they discovered no fetal heartbeat and he was only measuring 13 weeks. They are unsure why it happened (but we later on sent in fetal tissue (the umbilical cord) so they can do further testing.)
I ended up waiting a few days before going through with misoprostol to quicken the process of going into labor. I took the medicine Thursday morning and had a day of what felt like a hell with the awful contractions I was having. At 8pm he was born - everything came out in my hand at once, his body, umbilical chord and placenta. He’s about 4 inches tall and has all fingers and all toes. He is currently in our fridge right now and will be with us one more night before we let the funeral service take him to be stored and then cremated next week.
This is by far the most traumatic experience of my life. I’ve donated my eggs in the passed (4 times) and have 5 living biological children from those donations in different parts of the world. I am 28 years old and my partner (28M) are both healthy. With this being our first try for our own child and having a late missed miscarriage I just feel so discouraged. I feel like I’ve failed and we will never get our first child back again.
Has anyone gone through anything similar? How long did you wait to try again? I am having the worst bleeding and cramping of my life, and it’s only been a day and a half. I am having very mixed emotions but just really badly want to be pregnant again. Seeing a tiny baby human come out of me, lifeless, there are just no words for the grief and loss I am feeling. Thank you for reading.

2024.05.19 00:08 afwk2 How 100 gold costed me a game
So this stupid Riven spoon-fed the enemy Lee top with no enemy ganks, he just kept bashing his skull towards the same brick wall of dueling dueling dueling hoping he would win, and mind he lost having flash ignite vs flash TP. Anyways, I obviously left top to rot while I camped bot and kept the game aflote.
Enemy jungle and I basically traded map sides, he got 5 grubs and herald while I got 3 drags and my Jhin adc is fed like 5/1 while Riven is 0/5.
20-22 mins in, I'm at ~1050 gold and this sub-human steals my golems even when I yellow ping him while I was busy with my red and I'm forced to recall with 1150 for just a blasting wand and boots instead of completing my rod at 1250.
20 seconds later my team is mid while I'm contesting the Lee split-pushing tier 2 turret bot, I only have Liandry's, basic boots and blasting wand. He's 2 levels ahead, has Profane Hydra, Sundered Sky and basic boots. I deliberately wait for him to use his cooldowns on the wave before I fight him, he only used E (5 seconds cd) and Hydra (10 cd).
I smite him first for a guaranteed slow then land my E seed and flash his Q and use my own Q at max range. Put him to sleep, I wait 2 seconds for my Q's cd, clench my butthole and bashed his head with my W with the fury of a thousand deers AND BOOM!!! I EEP THAT MOTHERFCKER!!!!
I Q again and he's left with only 200-150 hp and ticking with my multiples DoTs: red pet, red buff, lyandries and my passive, I only had my basic attacks at this point.
He ward hops away and I chase, he has less than 50 hp + shield at this point…I swore to God I had him dead to rights but before I could Q again, he bought enough time to flash towards me point-blank to basic me with a crit-sunderer proc healing him for 100 then R kicks me Q-Q refreshed hydra and I'm fcking dead 100 to 0 in 0.5 seconds.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
Enemy team starts baron, Lee recalls and TPs to it. My team cant possibly contest. Dog-shite Riven and Leona try to steal but to no avail, they both die. Jhin ults but all his bullets are blocked by their bodies.
They b and come back even stronger. They still have herald at this point, my tier 2 and 3 are demolished by Shelly while they push top at the same time, lost 2 inhibitors. We tried to defend but we all died in 2 seconds and GG.
I could have won that duel if I had the rod instead of wand…so tilted.

Enemy jungle and I basically traded map sides, he got 5 grubs and herald while I got 3 drags and my Jhin adc is fed like 5/1 while Riven is 0/5.

2024.05.19 00:07 shortstory1 Hello I would like a pizza
"Hello I would like to order a pizza"
This is what I have been hearing all day and I cannot believe it. The violence within household groups from both men and women is just staggering. When they add pepperoni or other items to the pizza, it just sends shivers down my spine. Sometimes it's the woman who makes the call, other times it's the man and now and then it's a child. When a child makes a call ordering for pizza my faith in humanity just goes down. I wish I was on the front line of the police again instead I had been put down to office duty and answering phone calls.
"Hello I would like to order a pizza"
"I want a pizza"
That is all I have been hearing all day and I am tempted to just get off my seat get into a car drive down to one of these houses, and just lay out justice to the abuser. I kind of regret joining the police in the first place and witnessing the things I have witnessed, it's quite traumatising. Going home after a night of violence, crime and murder will always be surreal and to try and go to sleep after all of that is just hard. Just constantly more pizza orders with sides which just disgusts me even more as it tells me that the violence has turned gory. Why can't people just be nice?
I then told myself that if I got one more call that ordered a pizza then I would get up from my seat and go down to the house and shoot the abuser. I will bring justice on my own terms and when another call came through and another so-called pizza order, I got up from my seat and went down to the very house the call had come from and knocked on the front door. The call came from a woman ordering a pizza so I knew the man was the abuser.
When the man opened the door and looked confused with a £30 note in his hands he asked me "Where's the pizza?" And as I shot him down his wife screamed in horror. I then remembered that I don't work for the police anymore and that I work in a pizza joint. It was just instinctive or automatic for me to react like that after working so long in the police. Something's are hard to shake off.

2024.05.19 00:06 TimeExplorer5463 Getting bigger as a distance runner
I am a distance runner (16M), and have some muscle but that much. Over the summer, I want to get into really good shape before cross country starts. I want to get bigger, but I’m afraid I will put on too much weight to run efficiently if I only focus on getting bigger. Because of this, I was thinking on focusing on my core and legs, with some lighter work on the rest of my upper body. My goal is to be able to do a 10 minute plank by the end of the summer. What are some exercises I should do to start? I have access to a gym

2024.05.19 00:03 ali_fadel961 How come the floor's resistance does not protect the human body from being electrocuted by limiting the current?
This is a very basic and rudementary question, but I have to ask. If you touch the live wire while barefoot, the complete path will be from the live wire, to your body, to the ground, and finally to the neutral. Now, there is alot of "floor material" between you and the path back to the neutral. I am sure it is not easy estimating the resistance with all that area, but a simple google search says concrete has a resistance in the thousands, so how does it get to be small enough to allow lethal levels current to flow?

2024.05.19 00:00 Odd-Watch-7904 My best friend 23F chose a toxic man over me 23f. How to stop feeling sad?
I 23F and my friend 23F have been inseparable since we were freshman I’m high school. I’ve loved her through all the mistakes she’s made and have never judged her for any of them (Even though they were horrible) i can confidently say I’ve been a very good friend to her. Suddenly she’d been a little distant so i asked her to hang out to catch up (she works more than fourty hours a week in the summer, not hearing from her for a while is the norm but we go through phases of talking every day and not talking for a few weeks bc life.) She tells me she met a guy 30M and they’ve been dating for four months and plan on getting married within the next month. While we were hanging out he texts her and is just being so toxic, the type who tries to “catch her in a lie” when she’s not lying about anything and interrogate her so badly that she had ME replying for her bc it stresses her out so bad, she says he brings up the same things every week and does this all the time. I hasn’t heard from her after this in a month or two so was texting her here and there to make sure she’s okay. Our friends also were texting me asking if i had heard from her. She changed her number to be on his phone plan and texted me from her new number. She suddenly FaceTimed me saying she’s cutting everyone including her own sister off because she’s just “in a different place in life, more mature, and it’s normal to mature and not talk to people anymore and was mad that i shared her number with our friends” when she hadn’t told me not to and i wasn’t aware that was her intentions. I texted her a whole paragraph of how i see red flags in this man and what she’s saying doesn’t make sense and how she’s been in one other relationship ever so i think this is moving too fast. her friends aren’t bums and half are in med school and live by themselves so it doesn’t make sense that they’re not “mature” enough for her. Haven’t heard from her since but now i know she’s pregnant and going to give birth shortly. I texted her on her birthday just saying “happy birthday miss you hope you’re doing something fun” and got no reply. How do you guys stop feeling sad after a loved one chooses a man over you? Especially when it doesn’t seem like a man who treats her well.
EDIT: for context the red flags are: never wanting to meet any of her friends even after i invited them both out multiple times to hang out (and expressed i wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt), she was SUPER into body building and would use Instagram to track her progress and soon after they started dating she deleted ALL social media including Snapchat, would make her feel bad for past mistakes and victim blame her, would constantly tell her he’s worried she’s “too young for him” and would “change her mind about him in a year” and she would then have to convince him otherwise.
TLDR: my best friend chose a toxic man over me. Any advice on how to stop feeling sad about it?

2024.05.18 23:59 Theinvicibledragon Completing the fictional martial art elements
Hello there. I'm a OPM (One Punch Man) fan and one of the concepts I love about the manga are the martial arts. So when I was thinking about them I realize that they're based of elements but are incompleta because we need fire, earth and Lighting martial arts to complete it. Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist and Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist represent water and air (Exploding Heart Release Fist represent explosion and not fire). So anyone can give ideas about the 3 remainig martial arts? Please.
I think to create them needs 3 things:
•Name •Stance/guard/position •Special Ability
I already have the special Ability of the earth martial art is that makes yourself body vibrante to increase your attack and defense also with the vibrations you can hit the ground creating earthquakes attacks (inspired información hassoken from One Piece. The master of this martial art will make your body harder than steel and achieving a lot of control over your body. But I don't Have the name and stance. In the stance I was thinking of something like horse stance.
Can anyone give me ideas to make the martial arts? Please.

2024.05.18 23:58 AustralianChrono Chronologica's Drag Race Season 6: Episode 1- Prove Your Worth
 | https://i.redd.it/lnq1hwinb91d1.gif submitted by AustralianChrono to ChronologicasDragRace [link] [comments] In a bright yellow wig, her hair up to high heavens, and a massive black coat with a pair of matching black boots that go up to cover above the coat, Molly Moppit walks in. With a smile on her face, Molly Moppit looks up at the pink wallpaper of the room. “I want that.” Molly smirks, ripping off her coat to reveal a minidress made out of the same pink wallpaper of the werkroom. “Mopped it!” Molly looks around at the empty room. “…and nobody here to see me stun.” She shrugs. “Pity for them!” Molly Moppit: “I’m Molly Moppit, and I’m here to run away with the competition.” Molly winks. “This table’s cuuute.” Molly looks over at the table, before running to a sculpture on the side of the workroom and trying to pull at the sculpture, before realizing it’s glued to the floor. “FUCK!” Molly Moppit: “I am currently based in New Jersey, but I'm a New York staple, as well.” Molly grins. “First and foremost, I’m a NEW JERSEY DRAG QUEEN.” “What about the…” Molly swipes at a coat hanger, tucking it behind her back. Molly Moppit: “Being an Atlantic City Queen means being ready to do what you can to survive. It’s a cutthroat lifestyle, and that’s fine. It taught me to host, perform, serve looks, make ‘em laugh… and it’ll help me to win.” “You saw nothing.” Molly smiles. A lone tumbleweed rolls into the werkroom as clouds of red dust fill the entrance. There are two loud bangs, and on the far wall of the room, two bullet holes tear into the eyes of a hanging portrait of Chronologica. Molly looks over as the portrait falls to the ground, the glass of the frame shattering loudly. When she looks back, a masked bandit stands amidst their midst, blowing smoke from his old-timey pistol. In a cowboy hat, long black jacket, beaded vest, and denim chaps, Ethan Angel-Eye glowers, his nose and mouth hidden behind a vigilante’s black bandana. The room is silent for a long moment. Molly Moppit: “It’s a Mexican Stand-Off. And I’m NOT talking.” Molly and Ethan stare at each other. Ethan Angel-Eye: “Please welcome the best performer this side of the Mississippi, your very own Apache-Dakota bandit vigilante drag king, and the only person here who actually needs to win. I’ve beaten Kaneq and Vitória in lip sync competitions, I’ve out-danced professionally trained celebs; I’m unstoppable onstage and I’m always providing that debonaire dastardly Western rogue fantasy. I’m Ethan Angel-Eye, and I’ve got my eye on this crown.” “The fuck are you supposed to be?” Ethan asks, looking Molly up and down as he strides into the room, his voice low and gravelly. “I’m Molly Moppit, what the fuck YOU supposed to be?” Molly raises an eyebrow. Molly Moppit: “Are we cosplaying as ugly men this season?” “Cute.” Ethan brushes past Molly, and then hops up on one of the werkroom tables, sinking into a menacing squat and looming over the space like a vulture. “It’s pinker here than I thought it’d be.” Ethan glares, looking at her wallpaper look. Molly scoffs. “Course it’s pink. Do you watch the show?” “Do you watch the show?” Ethan parrots back, doing a crude impression of Molly’s voice. “I breathe this show.” Ethan Angel-Eye: “I am not a pretty faerie princess, and I am not everyone’s cup of tea, but I know how to win this, in and out. Some petty little bitch isn’t getting in my way.” “Ooooh, he’s a hater. Love.” Molly laughs, looking up at Ethan as he perches on the table. “What’s your name, my little masked bandit? Here to take some shots at me?” “Ethan Angel-Eye.” Ethan cocks his head to the side. “My shots don’t miss.” “Neither do mine.” Molly smirks. Ethan looks around, as he realizes a button of his top has gone missing. A tall, proud Indian woman struts out from the werkroom entrance, with many elaborate blue hair clips and a strikingly long blue gown which cascades in wave-like shapes behind her into a long train. She gestures broadly with her hands, emphasizing each syllable of her words as if they’re the most important thing anyone’s ever said. “WA-TER-FALL!!!!” Niagara Halls: “New York in the HOUSE what-what!! Hey divas, it’s me, your Desi-American god-DESS of season 6, here to bring upstate pageantry and that Canadian border flair to your screens. I KNOW I’m serving as a pageant fashion icon in this entrance look, you can’t tell me otherwise. Don’t I look GORGEOUS?!” Niagara Halls twirls, the blue gown’s long train wrapping around her feet, then swirling back out again, where it smacks Molly in the knee. “Um, hello, waterfall woman.” Molly exclaims, pulling away to avoid being smacked again. “Hello, hello!” Niagara Halls waves an emphatic wave to Molly and Ethan before daintily picking up her gown’s train with one hand and gently striding to sit at the werkroom table Ethan is perched on. “How are we?” Molly reaches over and snatches a hair clip from Niagara’s hair, causing several long brown locks to tumble into Niagara’s face. “Oh! You–” Niagara looks baffled. “So it’s gonna be THAT kind of season!” Ethan rolls his eyes, looking decidedly down at the two girls. Molly laughs. “No, oh my gosh! I just love these clips! Where’d you get them?” Niagara pulls the fallen hair out of her face and clips it into another one of her clips, chuckling. “You WISH I would tell you. You could use the help with that mop!” “MOP!” Molly bursts out laughing. “You don’t even know!” “What’s your drag, what’s your name, who are you both? I need to know who I’m demolishing here.” Niagara smiles a huge smile, talking with her hands again. “But where is the clips from?” Molly asks. “I-” Niagara looks into the mirror. “...You didn’t buy the clips?!” Molly says dramatically, putting on a gasping face. “Who did?!” “What’s your names?” Niagara smiles awkwardly. Niagara Halls: “My Drag Mother helped with the outfit! I don’t know!” “I’m Molly Moppit.” Molly grins. “Atlantic City roya–” Ethan interrupts. “Ethan Angel-Eye. And you’re Niagara Halls.” Niagara enthusiastically tosses her hair (and all of its clips) back and forth. “I KNOW you know me, that’s right, that’s right!” Ethan nods. “You lost Miss Toronto to Vitória Benedita.” Niagara gasps. Niagara Halls: “How did this MAN KNOW me?!” Ethan Eagle-Eye: “Does no one look at reddit on their way to the season? Scope the competition out.” A mysterious black mist seeps through the entrance of the werkroom, followed by a devilish laugh. Lokii struts in, and flips a green cape, revealing their face and leather-clad body. Golden horns, almost corrupted with black veins connected to his face, just from Lokii’s forehead. In thin black hands, Lokii holds a corrupted golden scepter and a smoke machine. She smirks, and her Londoner accent is obvious when she speaks. “I am Lokii, of Asgard, and I am burdened with glorious purpose.” “We’re all stealing something, aren’t we?” Molly jokes. “I don’t get it.” Niagara says. “Loki. Marvel.” Ethan says gruffly. “Welcome, nerd.” Molly smiles, as Lokii runs over. Lokii blushes deep red. “Oh my gosh. Hello!” Lokii: “I’m Lokii, and low-key? Aye, I’m pretty bloody psyched to be here! I’m 22 years old, visiting from across the pond by way of South London, and like, I’m pretty new to drag, but cosplay has been a huge part of my life since I was really young, and I’ve felt really called to take it in this new direction!” “So are you really called Lokii? Like the Norse god?” Molly investigates every inch of Lokii’s outfit. “The… Disney character?” Niagara ponders. “I don’t watch superhero movies.” “They are.” Ethan flexes his ankles, looking at Lokii with an intense stare. “You’re the Tumblr cosplayer, right?” Lokii nods, smiling. “Yeah! Loki was the first character I did in cosplay. We have a long history, he and I!” “And so you came to Chronologica’s Drag Race dressed up in your little Marvel cosplay character!” Niagara chuckles nastily. Lokii laughs awkwardly, making their way to the table. “Yep!” “You look incredible, by the way.” Lokii smiles at Niagara. “This is a really beautiful garment.” “I KNOW, baby, thank you.” Niagara smiles daggers. “You’re pretty new, right?” Lokii looks surprised. “Oh, I–” “JUST teasing!” Niagara laughs. Lokii: “I have.. Not been doing drag, that long. But I have been crafting, designing and MAKING things for years. I think that’s my edge…” Lokii smiles slightly awkwardly. Ethan Angel-Eye: “So far, the girls are…childish.” “Wait, what’s this?” Lokii picks up a brown paper bag on one of the werkroom tables and reads something written on it in sharpie. “Barf bags…for if you gag too hard?” Niagara makes a face. “What the fuck?” Suddenly, in a sculpted silver one-piece with sharp ridges and bulky shoulders, a stylized mop of blonde and pink curls, super-shadowed fierce makeup and chunky black boots with chains, Lady Gag arrives. In an exact recreation of one of Lady Gaga’s looks from the 2009 VMAs, she purrs. “Dirty pony, I can’t wait to hose you down.” Ethan makes an obvious look of disgust. Niagara stops laughing very suddenly. Molly laughs even harder. “HEAVY METAL LOVER!” Lokii yells, before covering her mouth as if she is in fear of being too loud. Lady Gag: “When our Lord and Saviour Gaga said ‘No matter gay, straight, or bi', lesbian, transgender life?” Lady Gaga smirks. “She was talking first and foremost about me. Are you gagging? I’m Lady Gag, foremost Gaga impersonator of Miami, Florida, and the most gag-worthy woman known to man. Mama I am known to man, if you know what I mean.” Lady Gag strikes poses in the entrance, twisting her arms into strange shapes and cocking her head at strange angles. “Everyone, just imagine Alejandro is playing over this.” “I’m imagining it.” Molly says, smiling and still laughing. Niagara looks nonplussed, Ethan looks dismissive, and Lokii looks shy, but Molly warmly greets Lady Gag with a firm handshake. “Welcome, Miss Gaga, welcome! You’re giving very 2000 and late! I’m Molly Moppit. Atlantic City roya–” “MRS. Moppit.” Lady Gag stops her, putting a hand up. “Don’t try to read me with those smile lines and bags under your eyes. I’m 2000 and fresh off the boat if you ever saw it. You will not be coming for me on this, the day of my arrival.” Molly’s jaw drops. She looks thrilled. Niagara smiles softly. “You’re going to talk about her looks when you’re a copy-and-paste baby? LOVE to see a tiny little fighter.” Niagara Halls: “The good thing about doing drag that’s literally on the Canadian-American border is that I can leave the worst of both sides behind. Canadians, watch out: I will NOT be apologizing for my shade! And I can say THIS… who the fuck is Lady Gag?” “Your shade needs work, I think.” Lady Gag says. “It’s about as dark as midday in FLORIDA. I would know.” Ethan’s eyes give away his smile. He sits back on the table, relaxing for the first time, to listen to the girls snip back and forth. Ethan Angel-Eye: “I’m watching these girls, and I think, good. Let them fight. If this is the energy first day, they’re never gonna be able to focus on a challenge, and that’s perfect for me.” “I BET you would know Florida pretty well!” Niagara shoots back. “That contour job looks pretty Florida Man to me.” “I am a WOMAN and you will treat me with respect!” Lady Gag yells dramatically. Niagara looks confused, almost as if she is unsure if Gag is playing into the shade or not. Molly chuckles. “Girls, girls, oh my gosh! This is gonna be fun as fuck.” Lokii looks utterly horrified and speechless. There’s a sound of heels approaching, and the contestants turn to look at the entrance. “Please give me another crazy bitch,” Molly joke-pleads. “Please!” In a heavy, blood red reconstructed kimono covered in pearlescent white beads, Shiseido Red slowly struts into the werkroom. Her hair is bold, black and sculpted upwards into a towering beehive, and her silhouette is intricate, yet the restructuring of the kimono lets her show off her legs. “Paint the town red?” She cackles. “Baby, just paint these lips.” Shiseido blows a kiss. Lokii whoops. Ethan’s eyes glint with recognition. “An old bitch. Thank goodness.” Niagara vigorously applauds. Lady Gag still looks caught up in the fight from before. Molly looks concerned, before putting on a smile. “Oh, it’s YOU!” Molly yells. Molly Moppit: “I know Shiseido from the New York scene. I travel around the area, and she doesn’t.” Molly smiles. “Ahh, you’re here!” Shiseido ignores the others around her, looking straight at Molly. “Would you take my bags to that corner of the werkroom over there?” Shiseido asks, pointing to the farthest (and largest) dressing alcove. “I’d rather not.” Molly drops the playful facade for a moment, as the two look at each other. Shiseido Red: “Darlings. I’m Shiseido Red, and I’m no spring chicken. I am 45 years old and proud–I have a long legacy in New York City that will outlive any of these basic-bitch children. I was a princess of the 90s club scene and now, I’m their grand duchess. In my scene, we’re all about originality, ingenuity, innovation. So… nothing like what most of these kids are wearing.” Lokii scurries over to Shiseido. “This kimono is incredible.” Shiseido smiles curtly. “It’s certainly one step up from a costume, yes.” Lokii looks awkwardly. Molly tries to roll one of Shiseido’s suitcases from where it’s parked near the entrance and fails to move it despite pulling with all her strength. Nobody seems to notice. Molly Moppit: “Damn it, I was going to take half of her shit- subtly!” Niagara waves a broad hello. “HELLO NEW YORK! I’m SO glad you’re here, these girls are all WHORES so far.” Niagara goes in for a hug, but Shiseido moves away. “I’m sorry…do I know you?” Shiseido asks, clearly baffled. Lady Gag loudly guffaws. Niagara laughs once, awkwardly. “Oh, yes!” Niagara blushes, pulling away from her failed hug and gesturing wildly with her hands. “I’m Niagara Halls, mama. We worked together at–” “All you young girls blend together for me.” Shiseido shrugs. “Name doesn’t ring a bell.” Molly, laughing under her breath, opens Shiseido’s suitcase while she’s distracted and snatches a blonde curly wig. Molly Moppit: “I don’t get along with Shiseido. But I know this- she has good wigs… and I KNOW that old lady is a smart bitch. Whether or not she actually knows Niagara, she won’t admit it. Throw the girl off. I see you, mama.” “Aha.” Niagara looks put off. “No worries. It was just last year when–” “Hello, children.” Shiseido addresses the group like a troop leader. “I fear you look as bland as expected.” Lady Gag starts up again. “GIRL, this is not–” It’s Drag Time! Chronologica steps into the werkroom, and the gathered contestants gasp in shock–except Ethan, who looks over passively. Ethan Angel-Eye: “Interrupted at 6. So it’s a split premiere…which hasn’t happened since Season 3. Just, of course…of course it would be…” Molly hurriedly closes Shiseido’s suitcase and tucks the stolen wig into her top. Lady Gag, Niagara, and Lokii rush over towards Chronologica excitedly, while Shiseido and Ethan take their time, making eye contact as they do. Hello, racers! I’m thrilled to welcome you to the fantabulous Season 6 of Chronologica’s Drag Race! Here, you’ll be competing for the chance to win a spectacular crown and scepter from Moxie Maniac jewels, plus an extra-special grand prize of $100,000. Everyone cheers and applauds. One of you could become the next Drag Superstar…orrrr one of the other bitches who shows up next week could snatch the crown away from all of you. This week is your chance to prove your worth before any of those nasty skanks come and get in your way. Lady Gag: “Quite simply, yes. We ALL know Gaga is THE queen. I can guarantee I’ll be the one to get her her crown!” For your very first challenge, you’re putting on a premiere talent show. Show us what YOU can do that no one else can, and show us who you are. First impressions count! And you’d better hope it’s not a countDOWN…good luck! And don’t fuck it up! Shiseido Red: “Believe me, for some of these baby girls? The countdown’s already started.” Shiseido smirks. “I’m prepared for a talent show. I’ve been talented since I was born.” ~ Later, the monarchs strip out of their entrance looks and claim their dressing areas. Shiseido Red: “For this week’s maxi challenge, it’s time for us to showcase our abilities in a talent show. But first, it’s time to get to know each other.” Without a word, Ethan picks up Shiseido’s heavy suitcases and moves them to her preferred corner. “A gentleman.” Shiseido smiles, looking at Ethan’s bandana. “My faceless guardian.” Ethan chuckles. “No. You’re just not my mark today.” “Your mark? Alright. You’re an assassin, of sorts.” Shiseido ponders. “Mhm.” Shiseido Red: “Ethan is giving some sort of Bessie Big Sky-Jupiter Sterling story…but evil? It’s a very specific take, I’ll give him that…I’m at least…curious.” Ethan looks serious. “Assassin. You could say that.” Ethan retrieves his own bags and puts them next to Shiseido’s, just as Lokii enthusiastically hurries up towards the two-person dressing alcove. “Oh, sorry!” Lokii says, chuckling awkwardly. “I would love to uh, room with Shiseido, here, uh, the other girls are kinda mean and–” Ethan looks over, one eyebrow raised. Shiseido makes a face. “Baby. You’re not old enough to be here.” Lokii blanches. “No worries, then.” She scurry off. “...If she bantered back, I’d have had her.” Shiseido responds. “The baby queens can’t take it. No surprise.” Ethan grumbles. Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, Niagara, Molly, and Lady Gag each make for separate adjacent dressing stations. Lokii stands awkwardly in the middle of the room. Lokii: “The producers very clearly told us that we had to share 4 of the dressing rooms, two racers per room. But none of the girls are willing to share with each other… what’s … happening right now? Where am I supposed to go?” Niagara carefully changes out of her blue gown and puts on a comfortable yellow sweatsuit, then starts picking the clips out of her hair one by one. She watches Ethan and Shiseido across the room as Ethan takes off the bandana covering his face for the first time, then lets out the loudest gasp imaginable and throws her arms to the side, shocked. Blue butterfly clips fall to the ground everywhere. Lady Gag gives Niagara a look in between racks of hanging clothes. “Diva, what the FUCK are you doing?” Niagara whispers loudly. “Looooook!!!!” She aggressively points at Ethan, who is currently changing his shirt. Ethan very clearly and visibly has scratchy scruffy facial hair, and no makeup on the bottom half of his face. Niagara looks gagged. “That’s a MAN, Maury!” Niagara Halls: “I didn’t expect him to look like that, out of drag… kinda tracks, THOUGH!” Niagara cackles. Lady Gag yells across the room. “Mister Ethan!” Ethan looks over as he takes off his beaded vest and reveals his bare chest, clearly showcasing obvious top surgery scars. Lady Gag looks back to Niagara. “Queens recognize kings. Are you gagging yet?” “Not on your copy-and-paste eleganza.” Niagara shakes her head, then takes a step and slips on the fallen butterfly clips, awkwardly plopping on her butt. Niagara Halls: “We’ve had many trans divas compete in this competition- me included. But is this the first trans man here?” Niagara ponders. While Niagara has fallen, Molly sneaks in and grabs some more blue clips off the ground. I’m ba-ack! Chronologica waves from the entrance. Lokii returns the wave. Everyone else hurriedly finishes changing. Our producers let me know that we’re having some trouble getting into our dressing stations. We do actually need you to share space, here, now. Lokii: “I kinda was just waiting around- when they came in. I guess I kinda looked.. Awkward.” Lokii exhales. “This is a lot.” Lokii nods. Lady Gag and Niagara roll their eyes. Molly tuts excitedly. Molly Moppit: “I live for this drama, honestly. It’s so stuuupid I love it. I’m gonna make this shit eat up as much time as I can.” “Our space is set, Miss C.” Shiseido says assuredly. Great. So, which one of you three wants to share space with Lokii? “I KNOW you’re not equating Miss GAGA to a Disney gay–” Lady Gag smirks. Niagara shakes her head. “Well, I don’t think our visions are exactly aligned–” Molly winks, looking at the others. “I’m not cut out for sharing…” She says cheekily. Lokii stands awkwardly, a bit embarrassed. Okay, fine. Which two of you want to share with each other? Niagara scoffs. “The impersonator? That raggedy-ass mop bitch? I am not–” Girls. Chronologica looks annoyed. Okay. Let’s be serious. “No, of course, I’d love to work with Lokii in our space.” Molly smiles. Molly Moppit: “I am a playful artist, but I do take this seriously- and I look around, and Lokii looks like a deer in headlights. It’s a competition. But I’ll make her feel welcome. I mean, she’s better then the Gaga impersonator and fucking Niagara Halls.” She takes a sip of her drink. … Molly Moppit: “Can we circle back to Lady Gag as a name? Like be inspired and be an orignator but LADY GAG?! I DON’T GET IT!” She bursts, interrupting herself from finishing her drink. Shiseido and Ethan, who have returned to their corner, give each other a look. Ethan Angel-Eye: “It’s just like the last few seasons. All the kids are incompetent. No surprise.” I’ll leave you to it. Now. I’ll see you on the main stage. Let’s keep it professional, alright? Chronologica departs, and Molly drags her singular small suitcase into Niagara’s dressing station. She drops the bag heavily, and all of the butterfly clips Molly has stolen spill out of it onto the floor. “Where’s my clips?!” Niagara yells. Lokii and Molly look at each other, and Molly giggles. ~ Chronologica goes to visit the racers. Hello, Mr. Angel-Eye. “Chronologica.” Ethan says gruffly. Now, you’re drag family, right?! The other’s ears pick up, as Ethan nods. “Yeah, I used to be related to Bessie Big Sky. But we’re not talking about that, we’re talking about my talent show.” Ethan says, clearly displeased. Shiseido Red: “Oh… Inteeeeerersting.” Shiseido purses her lips. “This makes a lot of sense.” Totally. Well, tell me then, what ARE you doing for the talent show? “I’m from Montana. We’re not basic-ass pageant queens, who haven’t fought for anything a day in their life-“ Niagara’s head turns over to Ethan’s conversation as she has caught interest, clearly offended. Niagara Halls: “Wow.” Niagara is looking in a complete state of shock in her confessional room. “… Alright.” Niagara nods. “…because life’s hard,” Ethan continues. “I was a rez kid, I was in the foster care system, I been through some shit. And I’ve picked up a few skills along the way. So I will be doing a Projectile Weaponry Showcase.” Interesting. What does that entail? “Pistols, throwing knives, bow and arrow, shotgun.” Ethan nods. “I’m a good shot, no matter what I’m shooting.” Fuck yeah. Ethan smiles for a moment, before nodding. I was raised at my local gun club, over in La Perouse, Sydney. I know a good few weapons. How are you going to make it dragged up? “I do it my way. Ethan Angel-Eye is the evil Indian from cowboys and Indians. He’s a vigilante bandit, and these are a bandit’s weapons. I’ve got a story. I know what I do in my performance space- to me, the art stands for itself. I don’t need bells and whistles, because this has never been done before.” If you keep us excited, well that’s all that matters. Ethan nods. “I will.” … Niagara Halls. “Chronologica.” Niagara smiles. Now, you’re a pageant Queen. How is that going to impact you in this competition? “Well, MAMA!” Niagara says excitedly, talking with her hands. “For me, it’s about serving. I’m pretty, I’m gorgeous and I am not scared to CUT a bitch when I want to.” Niagara draws a line across her throat with one hand. Chronologica chuckles. Tell me, what are you doing for the talent show? “Yodeling.” Niagara smiles brightly. …Yodelling? Are you a singer? “NOT at ALL.” Niagara shakes her head. “Like, I’d probably say I am a bad singer.” Then…why are you yodeling? “For me, it’s about standing out. I wanted to deliver something no one has really done, make it camp, and then stun on the runway.” Niagara tongue pops. But do you feel like you are able to do this well? If you’re not a singer- “I feel like it’s an opportunity to showcase what I can do, and make it fun.” Niagara smiles. Okay. Well, good luck… …. Molly Moppit! “Shhh.” Molly whispers, pointing Chronologica to outside. I- “Let’s chat outside; I don’t need them hearing.” Molly whispers, as the two walk to the smoking area outside. The others look confused as the two disappear. “Cigarette?” Molly hands one to Chronologica. Is that from my packet- Okay, tell me, Molly, what’s your talent show? “For me, I do really take my drag seriously.” Molly smiles. “But I don’t need them all to know that, initially.” I get it. So, what are you doing for the talent show? Molly whips out a packet of notes. Chronologica grins. “I’ll be presenting onto the main stage, MOPPING DUTY. It’s a live freestyle Diss Track of the Cast of Season 6.” Molly smirks. “And I’ve got the notes for it.” Why is it called… Mopping Duty? “Because I am about to wash these bitches out and mop the crown, duh.” Molly chuckles. Chronologica bursts into laughter. I think that’s a fantastic idea. “I don’t want them to know what I’m doing, because part of the work here is centered around making them react. I’m great off the cuff- and planned, secretly. So, for me it’s really important to get to embrace all of that.” I am really excited to see how you do it, Molly. Molly grins. “I am too.” Molly Moppit: “I am going to blow these bitches out of the water, they just don’t know it yet.” Molly winks. ~ The next day, the racers twirl into the werkroom and get ready for the talent show. Lady Gag: “It’s time for the talent show, and I’m ready. Are these girls ready? Well, they should be, because… I’m coming for them.” “So, what are you bitches doing for the talent show?” Lady Gag asks, plaiting her hair. “I mean, I know some…” Niagara starts to yodel. Ethan rolls his eyes. Ethan Angel-Eye: “Bitches. The way these children talk.” “I’m not a bitch, first of all.” Shiseido says. “So let us start there, lookalike.” “Okay, I was just talking like us girls do.” Lady Gag scoffs. “Do you know actual Drag Queens?” Shiseido asks. Lady Gag rolls her eyes. Lokii whispers under her breath. “So much shade…” “I’m doing a Stand-Up show.” Lady Gag flicks back her hair. “I’ve been told I’m a funny bitch, so-” Everyone looks surprised. Molly Moppit: “She’s a comedian?” Molly bursts into laughter. “Oh, let’s be honest, her biggest joke is her name!” “Have you done comedy?” Lokii asks. “Actually, yes.” Lady Gag smiles. “In my room, to my family…” “Love.” Niagara clicks her fingers. “Werk, bitch, creativity…” Shiseido Red: “I am starting to notice something. These girls claim to be experienced, knowledgeable- but then, you speak to them, and suddenly they’re like ‘I’ve done this… at home.’ Lacking experience. It SHOWS.” “I am a designer and club kid.” Shiseido smiles to herself. “I’d love to hear about what that was like.” Lokii interrupts. “Well, if you survive the first week, you might hear it.” Shiseido says swiftly. Lokii looks to the left, then down. “I’m doing a megamix to 90s club anthems, and designing a look all the while.” Shiseido nods. Shiseido Red: “This will allow me to put my best foot forward instead of dancing the stage up and down, something I… can’t do as well anymore.” “That sounds… fine.” Niagara shrugs. Niagara Halls: “Like, BORING…and honestly, I don’t see it for her?!” Niagara laughs. “OH, the shade of ME!” Niagara giggles to herself. “What are you two doing, Molly and Lokii?” Ethan says, surprising the two. “I’m not talking about it.” Molly winks. “You can wait and see.” Ethan purses his lips. “I do wonder if it’s going to be anything of note.” Shiseido says. Shiseido Red: “Molly has a…not-so-great reputation, in New York. I’ll be honest, she’s never been notable to me, though. Beyond the theft jokes.” “Well, you gotta wait and see.” Molly winks. Molly Moppit: “Keep it fun… until you make the move.” Molly smirks. “I am a bit of a nerd.” Lokii says. “What a surprise.” Lady Gag jokes. “...Finish your thought.” Ethan looks at Lokii. “I’ll be repeating the plot of star wars, with puppets.” Lokii grins. Everyone once again looks around awkwardly. “Well, I’m excited for MY own talent show, because it sounds like I’m winning.” Lady Gag says. “Don’t count your chickens yet, Miss Copypasta.” Ethan responds. Lady Gag rolls her eyes for what appears to be the 10th time. Lokii: “I… don’t think anyone gets me here.” “The cosplay newbie… and the puppets.” Shiseido whispers, shaking her head to Ethan. “The impersonator who does stand-up in her bedroom. The tone-deaf girl singing, and the thief who probably doesn’t even have talents of her own. Great.” Lokii: “But I have crafted an entire concept. I’ve sewn and made these puppets, made a comedic story and saga- and if there’s one thing I do believe in, it’s the lore. It’s my knowledge in the cosplay, nerd space…” Lokii giggles, playing with her puppets. Lokii: “Lokii, you can do this…” Lokii gulps. “I think.” “Who’s.” Niagara claps. “Gonna.” Niagara claps. “GO HOME FIRST?!” “You, bitch!” Lady Gag snaps her fingers. “RUDE, RUDE!!!!!” Niagara yells. “Not me.” Molly whispers into the camera and winks. ~ Stats Voting Spreadsheet |
