To events Animosity Perhaps Gary found out something about Phil and decided to take action by making a mask so that he would recognize him. And money is always needed + without connections Gary would not have been able to get on the conspiracy map
  • Experience Gary: 5-7 years In this hard world.
  • The main skills that Gary acquired: 1) When Gary survived in Lambert City Against mutants and marauders. 2) Training at a military camp where they were taught to shoot and curse 3) Gary, like some others, got caught up in the events Gorezone. He was among the newcomers who trained very hard and intensely every day, sometimes to death, and there were also tests. Among these newcomers was Phil. Later, Gary ends up in a squad that consists of From experienced fighters. Garik Lincoln and Drab Gary learned a lot. In many ways Drab Taught him everything, like: Gary was the only newcomer on the team, and Drab took on the responsibility. Gary even made masks similar to Drab's during training missions. Garik Lincoln taught Gary how to use a knife correctly and effectively (Of course not like Steve Sanderson, because Garik irradiated Steve for 2-3 years in the squad Killerfich. But it's okay) But it was also just experience and Gary could observe.

2024.05.19 09:02 Few_Two_1731 Regarding the theory that Marco and Toffee are connected

Do you remember the theory that Marco and Toffee are connected? It is a theory with a lot of negative opinions, but I tried my best to think about it.
Marco and Toffee have a planned and meticulous personality. I think... their gestures are sometimes similar. https://www.tumblr.com/frmacnac/723950017044512769/marco-and-toffee-are-like-mirrors-each-other-or
Marco with purple items is something ominous. The monster arm emits purple liquid, and when Marco is involved in magic, he often wears purple things. The skin color of Marco's corpse in the Blood Moon nightmare is purple, The purple cloth he wears at before beach day has nothing to do with magic but look at the shape.
Besides, The following are the ones that appear in Toffee's first appearance episode.
Star's penstand with holes. This is similar to the symptoms of victims of Solaria's magic. Dead End signs, Star and monsters. A fortune cookie message that Toffee sent to Star says "Love is always the answer". Toffee say that "You're not the only one who is the victim of magic".
What if these are things that imply something? Toffee said he knows the future. What if Star, her friends, and monsters are killed by Solaria's magic? What if Toffee is related to Marco's monster arm? So, Marco may have been shapeshifted to Septarian by dark magic of unicorn and time-traveled to the ancient Mewni. (It might sound stupid) Glossaryck may be involved in it, He may have created a weird time loop. Toffee may be Adult Marco who comes from such a bad future timeline.
Toffee knew that he would be killed as Star's first enemy, so he probably decided to give Star the idea of destroy the magic for change bad future, but in the process, probably he entered Realm of Magic and went crazy. And he may died like "Toffee" on his timeline. and, Glossaryck may have seen Marco as Toffee's childhood. When they first met, Glossaryck said he wouldn't let Marco read magic spells book, and Glossaryck disliked Marco until the day Star rode a bicycle.
Toffee may be a character that assumes as Marco in his thirties. Marco at Neverzone is a child with an adult body. too childish. Star and Toffee's mental age is too far apart, for Toffee, Star will be like a sibling? "Surprise" is a word when the Diaz family celebrates Star every day, so it may be a symbol of friendship and family love. Even if Marco was influenced by the monster arm, he is not necessarily evil. In this case, Toffee wouldn't kill Comet, but his subordinates would do it at their discretion.
Toffee has existed since he was a teenager. The reason why he was shocked when Marco said, "You're boring" would because he had too short time to live as his true self, and he forgot what he was like when he was living as himself. On the other hand, he may have despised his past self who had no power or knowledge to protect the important things. Toffee's last words were probably a warning to his past self, and were probably the answer to what he was told to be "boring". He manipulated Ludo, but it made Buff Frog a Star's friend. It triggered that Star wants Mewni to stop the monster abuse. Marco is the type who is into the role he plays, and he is good at hiding his emotions. If he had felt responsible for the death of Star's grandma, he couldn't have been able to tell the truth. He may have been acting like a crazy, cruel man to Star on purpose.
But how can Marco be so dark and conspiratory?
I think Marco knew very little about monster abuse in Mewni. Marco will be angry if he knows that, and Marco will try to protect the monster from Mewman as one of the earthlings because he knows Mewnians were earthlings, and will be thoroughly research magic and Mewni's history. And Marco's charisma will be gather the support of Septarian. In order to protect the existence of Star, he may had to keep Butterfly family alive while dealing with the monster's hatred for Butterfly family, and he would have been afraid of losing the support of the monsters. Marco was once unable to oppose it for fear of losing the support of the princesses in St. Olga. He may have been bound by his past as Septarian and had limited things to do. I think he has reason for hating Glossaryck. Glossaryck made Star's ancestors, the colonists of Earth, into Butterfly family and Mewman.
"The code name is Sailor V", a spinoff of Sailor Moon came to my mind. The villain in this story was just a soldier who wanted to become a knight to get closer to the princess of Venus, Minako's previous life. However, after everyone died in the war and the queen of the moon reborn everyone with magical powers. He was helping Minako's growth as her enemy but he died while doing fortune-telling that Minako was destined to kill the person she loved. Minako will ended up killing her boyfriend who became an enemy. Daron loves Sailor Moon, and Mina's name is taken from Minako, but Minako looks like Star.
Well, Marco is just a boy from the earth, but he tried to become a knight because he wanted to get close to Star, the princess of Mewni. And what if Marco's Blood Moon's nightmare warn his fate that he will be killed by Star when he falls in love with her? Toffee lives in Star's past, and Marco lives in Star's future. Star and Marco, who are tied by the Curse of Blood Moon, will be bound in a weird time loop forever.
I think the Dark magic that Toffee was melting in Realm of Magic will strengthen the desire for revenge. Toffee may have wanted to neutralize MHC and Moon because them empower Mina's rebellion. What if the magic and Star's family destroyed his life? What if magic doesn't exist? What if the colonists from Earth, the ancestors of Star, didn't go to Mewni? What if Star was born as an earthling? What if Marco chose Jackie instead of Star? His purpose in S1 would to protect Star, but his purpose in S2 may have changed to save Marco's life from Star. The reason he was so obsessed with his lost finger was probably because it was the only point of contact between his past self and his present self. The motivation in that case will be self-love. Realm of Magic will not kill Star, but it will make her suffer. He may have locked Star there to teach her his suffering, instead of telling her who he is.
If Marco's fate is related to magic, it would be right for Star to destroy the magic for Marco. Toffee was watching Star's decision to destroy the magic, and he screamed "surprise". The only person who spoke to Star from the tapestries was Toffee. If the bad future changed, if the timelines merged, would be a happy ending. Will Toffee/Marco trace the fate of Heinous/Meteora?

2024.05.19 08:59 nik027 Seems like Kiran Rao's PR Team is doing a great job!!

I was on instagram, and my feed was full of how amazing the movie Lapata Ladies is, all post made by meme pages, who do paid promotions. On reddit, seen at least 5 posts in india related subreddits.
I was about to watch the movie, but this PR-pushes make movies very unlikable for me. I have heard from a few friends that it can be a one-time watch movie, nothing more than that, but on all social media platforms everyone is defending the movie like soldiers would defend their country.
So, how was the movie?

2024.05.19 08:58 ExcitingPanic How to deal with hostile coworkers as only black woman in my grad school program

Hi, I(25F) am in grad school in Europe (dental residency) and I’m well aware of the competition that goes on in hospitals. At my university we work in groups with a resident from each year and the first year is usually in charge of all the boring jobs like making case presentations and dealing with general paperwork. My fellow group mates are essentially in charge of me and tell me what to do, however they message in our group chat late at night or on weekends.
This morning they asked me to do something that needs to be handed in on Monday, which they could’ve told me to do any other day this week, but I’d already organised my weekend to see a friend on Sunday and take a break and on Saturday to do some work on an article I’m working on which I have a meeting on Monday. I did what they asked of me and sent it in, but I stated in the future I would like to know in advance of the weekend if there’s something they’d like me to do. This is when all hell broke loose, I received probably 2 pages worth of messages from both of them saying they don’t have to tell me what to do I should know (they in fact do have to tell me, I’ve only been here for 2 months), that I have to do that task because I was following that case, no one wants to give last minute tasks but we all have to do the work even out of hours and even stay up late to finish.
I don’t have an issue with any of that, but that wasn’t even my point, they made it seem like I had a problem with doing the work or not wanting to do it, everything I said was taken out of context. In reality all the work we have can easily be done during the week and we aren’t paid for this at all. I don’t know how to deal with this because they’re clearly hostile with me and were just waiting for the opportunity to go off even though I always do as they ask and get my work done. I’m the only POC in the school and our program coordinator has said he doesn’t want to hear about arguments in groups, so that’s out of the question. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

As an outdoor enthusiast, I've been on the lookout for a reliable and compact tool to carry on my adventures. I chose the Gerber Armbar Scout multi-tool for its promise of versatility and compactness.
I was pleasantly surprised by the tool's sleek design, which conveniently fit into the pocket of my backpack. One of the first features I noticed was the stainless steel construction, giving the tool a sturdy feel while keeping it lightweight.
One of my favorite aspects of the Gerber Armbar Scout was its ability to open various packages with minimal effort. The can/package opener was a lifesaver during a camping trip when I needed a quick snack. The 2 1/2'' plain edge blade proved to be sturdy, allowing me to make precise cuts with ease.
However, I did encounter some difficulties with the locking mechanism of the blade, which required a certain level of force to engage. While this wasn't a dealbreaker, it did cause a little bit of frustration during use.
In conclusion, the Gerber Armbar Scout multi-tool serves its purpose as an essential companion for outdoor enthusiasts. Its small size and versatility were impressive, but I did encounter minor annoyances with the locking mechanism. Overall, I would recommend this tool to anyone looking for a compact and reliable multi-tool to take on their next adventure.

🔗Ultimate Emergency Slim Pocket Knife

https://preview.redd.it/gpkbke1nyb1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e199e58ae71262c188260a8a345f7c02982fce07
As an emergency situation arises, every moment counts. That's when the CRKT Exitool comes in handy, offering a fast and reliable solution for cutting seat belts and breaking windows.
The slim profile makes it easy to conceal, while the textured grip ensures a firm hold. In my own experience, the Exitool has been a lifesaver, with the glass-reinforced handle providing durability and the safety cone tip cover protecting the window breaker while stowed.
The only downside? . The compactness might make it a bit challenging for those with larger hands to use. Overall, the Exitool is a reliable and versatile emergency tool that helps you stay prepared for any unexpected situation.

🔗Gerber Pledge Knife: High-Quality Emergency Cutting Tool

https://preview.redd.it/hif5giinyb1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=74bf93d396fca0e79ec922f48a65446e4a9a7498
I recently had the opportunity to try out the Gerber Crisis Hook Knife, and I must say, it's a lifesaver in emergency situations. This sleek and durable tool is designed specifically for quickly and safely cutting through seat belts, clothes, and even heavy straps or cords. Its lightweight design and smooth operation make it a game-changer when time is of the essence.
One of the most notable features of this knife is its integrated oxygen tank wrench, which adds extra versatility and functionality in life-saving situations. The glass breaker pommel included in the package also comes in handy when encountering obstacles that may hinder your ability to assist someone in need.
While the Crisis Hook Knife has several impressive features, it's not without its drawbacks. The friction lock sheath can be tricky to attach to certain surfaces, and the clip may not be as convenient as advertised. Additionally, the knife's handle, while comfortable and easy to grip, could benefit from a more secure attachment to a tactical belt.
In conclusion, the Gerber Crisis Hook Knife is an invaluable tool for first responders and anyone who needs to quickly and safely cut through various materials in emergency situations. Its lightweight design, versatility, and straightforward operation make it a must-have in your arsenal. Just be prepared to address some minor issues, such as the friction lock sheath and the clip's functionality.

🔗Al Mar Stinger Keychain Knife for Self-Defense

​
https://preview.redd.it/nahmifunyb1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=86acc36d0c88d927f0399439b7e160c9bb8d4172
I recently tried out the Al Mar K1001BKG Stinger Keyring Knife in Green. The first thing that caught my attention was the compactness of the knife. With it being such a small size, it's incredibly easy to discreetly attach it to my keychain while still remaining convenient to access whenever it's needed.
The TPR overmolded grip proves to be an excellent feature, providing a non-slip hold, even while my hands are sweaty or in wet conditions. The dual-injected PP sheath adds an extra layer of protection, making it suitable for everyday use without worrying about damaging the blade.
The blade itself has an impressively sharp edge, allowing me to open letters and boxes with ease, yet also offers a sturdy protection for instances of self-defense. Being an advocate for quality tools, I found the Stinger to deliver that expected performance from the reputed AL MAR brand.
However, I noticed that for harder tasks, the blade feels somewhat delicate. One would have to handle it carefully or opt for a more robust knife for such situations, potentially compromising the ultralight key ring knife design. Despite this, overall this knife performs well, and its convenient size and efficient design make it a must-have for those who value versatility and efficiency in a concealed blade on their keychain.

Using an HMMS Stainless Climbing Carabiner in my daily life has been quite an experience. This multi-functional tool has proven to be extremely versatile, from its use as a knife to its handy LED light.
The knife is sharp and easy to flip out, making it an essential part of my survival gear. The LED light is a lifesaver when the power goes out, and the Phillips and regular screwdriver heads are a great addition for those quick fixes on the go. The glass breaker is also convenient, though I haven't had to use it yet.
One thing that stood out is the carabiner's simple and lightweight design, making it the perfect keychain or hanging tool for my camping trips and other outdoor adventures. Despite its compact size, the carabiner is surprisingly strong and easy to use, with the locking mechanism providing a secure fit. Overall, the HMMS Stainless Climbing Carabiner is an excellent addition to any survival kit, and I highly recommend giving it a try.

As someone who loves being prepared for any situation, I was thrilled to try out the Sheffield Wilco 4-in-1 Carabiner Multi-Tool. The anodized black aluminum carabiner is both lightweight and versatile, making it perfect for everyday carry. The convenience of foldable flat-head and Phillips screwdrivers, along with a sturdy 3-inch serrated blade, ensures that I can tackle tough jobs with ease.
While I appreciate the strength provided by the 420 stainless steel attachments, I did notice that the carabiner isn't suitable for weight support, and it is best to use it more for its attachments. However, considering the multiple functionalities it offers, this small drawback seems like a fair trade. Overall, the Sheffield Wilco 4-in-1 Carabiner Multi-Tool is a reliable and efficient tool that has become an essential part of my daily life.

🔗Versatile Carabiner Knife with Stainless Steel Blades

The anodized aluminum handle not only adds a sleek touch, but it also provides a comfortable grip that makes it a breeze to use. Additionally, the included sheath for easy harness attachment is an added bonus, guaranteeing the safe carrying of this versatile tool.
While I was impressed by the performance and convenience of the Dakine Hook Knife, I did notice a downside: oxidation. After just six months of use, the aluminum handle started to display signs of oxidation. Of course, this won't affect the functionality, but it does make me wonder whether a more durable material like titanium or carbon fiber might be a better long-term choice.
Despite this minor issue, the Dakine Hook Knife has become a trusted companion on my various outdoor excursions. Its user-friendly design and powerful functionality have really made a difference in my adventures, whether I'm camping or trekking. For anyone in need of an easy-to-carry hook knife that gets the job done, I would highly recommend giving the Dakine Hook Knife a try.

When I received the Armbar Slim Cut Multi-Tool, I was excited to try out its features. Its sturdy design caught my attention, and the burnt orange color added a pop to its sleek appearance. This is a multi-tool designed for the adventurous, and it didn't disappoint.
Let's talk about the scissors, one of the prominent features of this tool. It worked effortlessly for cutting various materials, from fabric to paper. The plain edge blade was also impressive, easily piercing through tough materials. Despite its size, it's surprisingly powerful and perfect for cutting tasks on the go.
The tool's design, with large tool tabs and access points, was user-friendly. It allowed me to switch between the scissors and the blade without any fumbling. The bottle opener was a convenient addition, adding versatility to the tool.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing. The scissor's spring mechanism felt a bit flimsy, and I had to be careful while using it to avoid any accidents. Also, the blade's deployment could be smoother for a more natural and comfortable use.
Overall, the Armbar Slim Cut Multi-Tool is a robust and versatile everyday carry tool. It's perfect for those who need a reliable, lightweight, and multifunctional item for various tasks. Despite a few drawbacks, I'm confident that this will be a valuable addition to many people's toolboxes.

The Civivi Polymorph carabiner multitool has become a handy companion in my outdoor adventures. The anodized titanium body is quite durable and serves as a perfect casing for its versatile features. The carabiner clip is a fantastic addition, allowing me to attach the tool to my backpack or gear, keeping it close at hand when needed.
One of the most useful aspects is the 9Cr18MoV scalpel blade, which makes this multitool an excellent option for opening bottles or cutting through some rope. However, the hex bit driver lacked enough leverage for me to fully appreciate it during my camping trips.
The choice between the plain titanium and bronzed titanium finish adds a personal touch to the overall design, making it a stylish and practical accessory for any outdoor enthusiast. While the Civivi Polymorph has its pros and cons, I find it a valuable addition to my outdoor gear lineup.

The Cabela's Silver Pocket Tool was an unexpected pocket companion in my daily life. It was a great multitasker that never failed to provide convenience on-the-go, and its anodized aluminum handle always gave me a sense of sturdy stability. I found myself using it more than I expected, especially the knife, file, and flat-head screwdriver.
While the larger tools were great to have, the smaller ones sometimes felt a little lacking. The screwdriver and corkscrew had considerable wiggle room, which made me hesitant to use them on heavy-duty tasks. But in all honesty, for a tool of this versatility and portability, it wasn't too surprising to come across these slight disadvantages.
The Cabela's Silver Pocket Tool, in all its multi-tasking glory, did become a handy accessory to keep in my bag or backpack. I never regretted having it by my side during unexpected camping trips or when I needed to open a stubborn lid. But it's a device that's best suited for those who appreciate its versatility over precision.
Honestly, it's great to have such a multi-tasker with you, but it's not without its drawbacks. It's a case of compromises, as it seems. With the Cabela's Silver Pocket Tool, you're sacrificing a bit of precision for that all-important portability factor. Is it worth it? That depends on your own priorities. But for those who need a tool that can do a little bit of everything in a pinch, this is indeed the handy gadget you've been hunting for.

2024.05.19 08:51 Kingwolf711 Green lantern dragons

I have an idea for a few videos that I know will never happen. Green lantern dragons. Yes I know there’s already a gl dragon. But that’s a dragon based on the lantern battery. I’m talking hal Jordan dragon, John Stewart dragon, Jessica cruz dragon, kilawag dragon, tomar dragon. Dragons based on the members of the green lantern corp. but that’s crazy. Totally doesn’t make sense lore wise. They would have been acknowledged when the first was talked about. Why is the lantern dragon so special if there’s thousands of them? I hear your criticism. But I have a solution that would make for a great story and would honestly be so in character that I’m surprised it hasn’t happened yet. Tayrun makes them. He realizes the universe is a massive place and he’s going to need help taking care of it. So he uses the lantern dragon as a starting point and builds several dragons from there. Dragons that have the same energy construct power but are different enough that they can be useful in different situations. Possibly also making a few for the aliens universe based off the locals of a planet in danger so it will be less threatening to them. By making these dragons he has protectors to send to dangerous places to keep the peace and gains new summons to call in an emergency. And he makes his nerdy friends happy by adding their favorite ring slingers to the beast world. How could the other corps be added to this? Evil overseer sees what’s happening and tries to make an army against it. Tayrun experiments with the yellow dragon and accidentally creates monsters. He tries to make loving dragons and makes the violet lantern dragons. The beast world equivalent of atrositus uses magic and a red battery dragon to create the red dragon corp. the archons makes a larfliz dragon demon general. Not entirely sure what would be best. Depends how the story goes at the start. So what do you think? Am I crazy or should something like this happen? Any better ideas for the other colors?

2024.05.19 08:46 InitialRemarkable455 What do you do for recreational activities?

I noticed that in gurugram wine and beer shops are decorated with lights as if they are highway dhabas/restaurants or hi-fi malls. Just real malls and thekas decorated as malls. That's the only thing that exists in gurgaon for fun. During my childhood we used to have games period only once or twice a week. Even during those periods all were busy preparing for jee. Indian kids are least interested in sports. I used to make bow and arrows out of broom sticks and try to imitate ramayan Mahabharat characters by holding the arrow in front of my forehead, murmur some gibberish and then letting go of the drawn arrow on some toy placed at a distance. My father snapped and broke my bow and arrows. He was like, "not sending you to such an expensive school just so that you could become a tribal hunter. Go study". One of my father's friends had once gifted me a mouser bb gun for fifth or sixth birthday. My father was furious and angry at him for gifting his son a gun. He was like guns are banned in USA. Guns as toys are for bad kids. I used to like watching martial arts based movies and imitate their actions alone. Father gaslit me by saying that I was trying to be a future criminal. As martial arts are only for goons, thugs, killer, police, army or ultra rich people who just want to show off medals as status symbol. He wanted me to focus only on studies.
Rich shitty kids in my school had Xbox, PlayStation and PC games. They discriminated against me because of obvious status difference. So I had no friends, no siblings or any good memories while growing up. Girls in my class only wanted to hang with those boys who used to play football or basketball for school team. I was good at goalkeeping because of my natural reflexes and height and was also good at taking penalty kicks because of brute strength. But I wasn't good at tackling or dribbling. I used to do a lot of fouls. That's not the reason for which I wasn't allowed to play by the way. The real reason was that they didn't want to get embarassed by me who was a "poor loser" according to them. They used to belittle me because of my looks, skin colour and lack of money. So getting humbled by me on playground obviously used to hurt their ego. Because of that they didn't use to let me play.
Every one in my office just smokes tobacco or drinks alcohol. That is the definition of having a good time or celebration according to them. I noticed that Indians just drink(alcohol), spit(paan gutka), smoke (tobacco) and do drugs. Like isn't there anything else for recreational activities? In urban areas there's malls and I think one can go for hiking or trekking too. But even there Indian gen z and millennials just want to do gaanja and charas at Manali or any other hill station. Why are Indians so much into drugs?
Most of the MMA coaching centres are frauds as per the reviews on Google pages. They charge a leg or an arm but whatever they teach isn't that good as per the reviews.
I want to go to uttrakhand for river rafting, bunjee jumping, sky diving or para gliding. But don't feel brave enough because of the fact that it's India after all. What if the parachute doesn't open, what if the chord breaks, what if the bunjee cable breaks, what if I drown....and also the charges as per Indian economy is too high. As per Indian economy the charges should not be as high as they are. Maybe within a year or two I will finally got for it.

2024.05.19 08:35 Heroman3003 Taking Care of Broken Birds [Part 3]

More misery bird? More misery bird. Really miserymaxxing with these fics I have going, but hey, this one is not that miserable actually! Krekos is back and ready to be dense and downcast, but maybe not quite miserable? Read and see!
Big thank you to NoP community for being great and supportive of my endeavors!
Also, obviously, big thanks to SpacePaladin15 for creating this universe and allowing fanfiction well to flow free!
[First] - [Prev] - [Next]
Memory transcription subject: Krekos, Krakotl Refugee
Date [standardized human time]: May 6th, 2137
I stare at the foul creature before me. Normally staring at something directly head on like that would be too predatory for me to do, but after nearly dying of bread yesterday, I didn’t feel patient enough to be gentle. The creature stared right back, though in a much more natural, prey-like way, tilting its head slightly as it looked back at me with one eye and let out a long bwok.
“Are you doing this now? Really?”, I ask, knowing full well it cannot respond.
Well, it can, if another bwok it made is any indication. Of course, translators aren’t yet advanced enough to translate non-sapient speech, but the intention behind sound is intuitively clear. It’s telling me to back off. Well, I tried the diplomatic approach at least.
Raising my wing I begin sliding the bird out of its nest, careful to keep any delicate joints out of its reach. It started clucking in upset indignation, struggling back and even trying to peck at me, but after realizing that I will not relent, it hopped out of the box and rushed out of the cattle house, revealing a single dead egg in the nesting box.
With relief, I finally pick up the last egg and head back to leave them at the house. Turns out that while Reginald didn’t forget to both lock them up yesterday and let them out today, he did neglect feeding them both times, as well as collecting the harvest. So when I was driven back here in early morning, the first thing I did was making sure they were taken care of. I can’t say the horrid birds looked in any way hungry, but the moment I poured the feeding grain for them, they attacked it with more viciousness than I’d expect of an actual predator. And yet only thirteen were present at the feeding, as the one that’s usually the target of flock’s ire remained in the cattle house yet again, Reginald leaving it to it, being unaware of its undesirable habit of trying to hatch dead eggs.
With eggs delivered, I flew my way to my usual spot atop the cattle house and could finally relax. The loner beast first made its way to feast on the scraps of the grain that other birds already all have had their fill of, so I wasn’t too concerned. Instead I tried to reflect on the morning I had so far.
Waking up at the hospital did make me momentarily panic before I remembered the precluding events. Not that I could properly panic, feeling the most starved I’ve been my whole life, and too weak to try flying out of the window. Thankfully, the breakfast they provided was actually well made with krakotl needs in mind, algae soup alongside a few slices of bread, this time without any horrid human ideas like putting eggs in there. Eggs! Turns out they put eggs in some kinds of bread! That’s how I got sick! Eggs! The thought of what I consumed even now made me queasy, and it definitely made breakfast a much less appetizing affair than it would have been without that knowledge, but back then the hunger won over the disgust.
Lena did keep her promise and came to pick me up extra early. Her being a staff member at the hospital gave her some extra privilege, I assume, hence why I was released without any forms needing to be filled out personally. She did have important business today too, which probably explained the earlyness and urgency of her driving me back to her house.
That did not mean I escaped her ire, however. While I couldn’t pinpoint anything to identify the man, as Bob was apparently a common name, that offered me bread, we did come to understanding that he was likely either unaware of the nutritional contents of it, or of extent to which the Cure-induced allergy would be affecting a krakotl. Yet, Lena seemed much angrier at me for failing to take any precautions. Turns out that was the purpose of medicinal injectors, epipens as humans call them, that were provided to me. I was supposed to have them on me in case I accidentally ingested contaminated food. Nobody told me that, I was just handed them back when I first received the necessities at the refugee camp and I had no clue what they were for. Then she also berated me for eating random food from strangers and ignoring bad flavors. Turns out that brioche bread isn’t actually bitter at all, and that was my body reacting to an allergen in it. Reaction that I unwisely elected to ignore, to further ire of my host. By the end, several new rules of my stay here were made, including not eating things I don’t know and always having at least one epipen on me. Thankfully, these rules would be ones I’d start following even without them being established, so I won’t have to concern myself with being kicked out over accidentally breaking them.
As if following the rules will be enough to make them like you.
Trying to distract myself from thoughts of yesterday’s incident, I focused my attention on the flock. All birds accounted for, so at least I knew that my absence did not result in the predator coming to snatch one of them. I do not wish to insult my hosts, but Reginald is far from most attentive people in matters unrelated to his job, and I am not sure the birds were watched at all while I was out. Speaking of, my scannings of surrounding treelines revealed no sign of the predator today. Perhaps it departed to hunt elsewhere, or maybe it ventured too close to a more populated area and exterminators dealt with it.
Actually, did human exterminators work similar to Federation ones? I knew for a fact they had them, although they seemed like a market of private organizations if advertisements are anything to judge by. Still, what methods do they use? I know humans oppose fire, and do not believe in predatory taint, but surely they have measures to protect themselves? They are, by self-admission, far from the best natural predator, and I doubt Earth’s non-sapient predators would just leave humans be. Maybe I should call one of those human exterminator agencies and call them in to deal with that predator? I haven’t told Lena or Reginald about it, as I didn’t want to bother them, but it could pose a serious threat to the cattle, but maybe that’s the way I could resolve it without involving them?
I have not done nearly as much research into human culture and lifestyle as I should have, considering that I’ve lived on Earth for over half a year now, but the sheer width of the topic always overwhelmed me the moment I opened internet search app to the point where I just closed it right away.
And you expect to start studying again with that attitude? You’ll flunk out even from this primitive predator education course.
Extra loud call from the flock made me refocus my attention on them, but it was nothing. Just the loner getting pecked extra hard and lashing out against assailants, causing a small aimless stampede as all the birds ran around in circles, puffing up at one another. The assailants now looked a lot more like victims. I could understand those birds more than I could humans at least. The loner bird is clearly an odd one out. It’s the only one repeatedly trying to hatch unfertilized eggs it lays, and it seems to always avoid the rest of the flock. Humans may deny the existence of Predator Disease, but they can’t deny that prey and predator both can and will sometimes behave in unnatural ways that may threaten the herd's safety. Or pack’s, in case of humans. Birds must know on instinctual level that the loner’s behavior is unnatural and are attempting to combat the Predator Disease on instinctual level. And since that is natural, I still will not interfere in this, unless the loner bird actually becomes a threat to others or will start getting too injured. The first time I attempted to pick one of the birds up was the only time for a good reason, as I have learned their viciousness all too well.
DING-DING
The sudden loud ring startled me enough that I nearly tumbled off the roof. Who would be coming over now? Lena and Reginald have left together and shouldn’t be back until afternoon, and they’d never use the bell. That means someone must be here for them. But wouldn’t they warn anyone to not come over? Especially with their plans for today.
With nobody to answer these questions, I had no choice but to go and discover the answer myself, flying up and over the house, towards the entrance gate. The moment I passed the house roof, I already saw a familiar silhouette. It was the human child from a few days ago.
Thankfully, Lena’s insistence on me carrying an epipen at all times meant I also carried my satchel at all times too, so I didn’t have to go grabbing my holopad, and took it out. But before I could even launch the translator TTS app to type out a greeting, the child was already hopping in place with excitement.
“Mr. Krekos! Hi! I came over to visit!”, she exclaimed, showing off her teeth in an unnerving expression of human joy. I simply tried to avoid that and focused on the pad, typing out my response.
“Hello, Rosie. Why are you here?”
The question was genuine, as the child was not carrying any more of that honey substance from last time.
“I just came over to visit you! Is that okay? Are Mr. and Ms. Vince okay with it?”
Visit... me? Why? While I was confused, I did instinctively type out a reply.
“They did tell me visitors are allowed as long as there’s no trouble when I first moved in.”
And before I could type a followup message asking her why she’s here, she already let out a joyous roar and ran past me.
“Can I see the chickens?”, she asked, and not waiting for an answer, rushed past the house and towards the cattle yard.
“Wait! You’ll scare them!”, I yell after her, but of course without a translator she can’t understand me as she runs like she already knows where to go.
And indeed she has, quickly rushing up to the open field where the birds were grazing. Thankfully she didn’t start chasing them, instead just approaching the flock from a distance and swaying in place, watching them with what I assume was some sort of predatory excitement at the sight of prey. Maybe that’s where the contained hunting instinct of human children showed themselves? In chasing small birds? I was still more subdued, considering she stopped shy of causing a small stampede, but still.
“Grandpa used to take me with him! He helped watch this farm until Mr. and Ms. Vince moved in. I like chickens! I think they’re cute.”, the child told me innocently as she kept swaying and watching as the beasts grazed upon insects of the pasture.
That revelation was... interesting. I suppose it makes sense that between the original owner of this land dying in the bombings and Lena and Reginald moving in, it would be unattended. With nobody to feed and watch over those things, they would be long dead for sure. And it was Rosie’s grandfather... Speaking of. I typed out my words.
“Does your grandfather know you’re here?”
She seemed to get a weird look as she stopped her excited swaying, fiddling with her hands instead. Looks like I asked the correct question.
“...he knows I am out visiting neighbors.”
That did not answer my question. I squinted at the human child, and she dipped her head as she continued.
“...he doesn’t know I’m here specifically. Or that an alien even lives here...”, she explained, her tone suddenly more sullen.
I couldn’t help but squint at that, and it appears that my expression was readable enough that even a human could see the suspicion, as she continued.
“I’m sorry... But if I told grandpa, he’d tell me I’m forbidden from talking to you, like he forbade me from talking to hedgehog people in town... But I want to talk to you! You’re nice and you’re a space bird!”
The child was actually working around the rules established by her guardian to come see me. I don’t know if I should be glad or concerned. Clearly, the man is anti-alien in his opinions, and I’d rather that kind of man not know about how close he lives to one. At the same time, I’d rather not encourage a child for lying to their guardian in order to meet a stranger they know they aren’t allowed to interact with... So I just took the middle path with my next message.
“I see. What did you want to talk to me about then?”, TTS speaks for me.
Her stiffened body language disappears, replaced again with earlier excitement.
“I wanna know more about space! And aliens! It’s all so cool but grandpa says it’s all dangerous because mom and dad died. But it’s not! The hedgehog people were nice, and you’re nice too!”
I wasn’t sure about that logic, but my self-preservation told me I shouldn’t try convincing her to go confessing. Instead I focused more on her chosen topic.
“I am not sure I am the best person to ask about space. I am not a scientist or traveler.”
“But you’re from there! You know way more than me. I don’t even know what you are called. And there’s gotta be cool things out in space!”
I let out a sigh. I suppose it’s childlike curiosity at its finest. So unfamiliar with mundane that it is a wonder. I remember being like that about becoming a doctor.
And then you let your teacher die.
I quickly tapped on the pad.
“Okay, I can answer questions, but I may not know everything.”
The noise that came out of the girl was like a squeal of a panicked dossur as she started hopping and spinning in place.
“Yes! Yes! Thank you, Mr. Krekos!” Sudden movement did cause me to recoil a bit, which in turn caused her to cease her happy flailing and adjust her little dress. “I dunno where to start though... Hm... What are you?”
...for all my trepidation about not knowing answers, I should have anticipated that the questions she asks will be rather age-appropriate and on the same level as we learn in our first school classes. At least I won’t disappoint her then.
“I am from a species called ‘krakotl’. We’re avians, as is obvious. Our home is...” dead, gone, reduced to glass and ash by our own hubris “...was Nishtal. A beautiful planet...”
Thankfully she did not question my hesitant pause. Instead she just nodded along.
“What about the hedgehog people? I already know venlil, but they’re the only ones I know name of.”
Hedgehog people in town she mentioned earlier. The only species I could think of that could be seen there would be the gojid. I have no clue what hedgehogs are, but probably some creature with visible similarity to them.
“They are called ‘gojid’, and they’re from gojid Cradle. Both of our species are... well, used to be known for our might and protecting other species of Federation.”
I am not sure if that’s something to brag about, considering... everything. But I didn’t want this child to get brought down with depressing regrets of our species. Let her know something nicer instead. She clearly lost a lot, but there’s still joy left in her. I wouldn’t want to be the one to ruin that.
“Cool! What about other people? I wanna know more!”
And so I went on, telling her about various species, although I mostly focused on ones in this new human-led union, only mentioning kolshians and farsul beyond that. It’s weird explaining to a child what a tilfish or a harchen looks like, but thankfully my holopad isn’t just a method of communicating with implant-less children. With access to interstellar web, I could easily pull up pictures of various alien species to show to her, even if she struggled to believe that some of them were even sapient purely based off of looks. With how varied species in Federation are, and how some of us admittedly aren’t too far physiologically from our more primal ancestors.
Among other topics, she asked me to tell her interesting things, which I didn’t know much of. I told her about Venlil Prime’s tidally locked status, a rarity among habitable planets, much less homeworlds for species. I told her about the unique architecture of Mileau, designed to accommodate both species of regular size and dossur themselves. I told her about Colia medical academies, some of the most beautiful medical facilities in the galaxy.
I wish I was more well-travelled, but I just wasn’t. My whole life, I never left Nishtal until the extermination fleet took me despite my protests. That may have been what saved my life...
Not that I, of all people, deserved it...
“Hey! Stop that!”
I flinched as I heard the child yell, but quickly realized that it wasn’t directed at me. Instead, Rosie was rushing down towards the chicken flock, breaking up the fight in which the loner was being pecked by a few larger chickens. As the human child approached, the birds stopped their infighting and scattered in different directions, crowing in loud panic and discontent. On instinct, I found myself rushing towards the child, forgetting about translation entirely.
“What are you doing?! Don’t touch them!”
I didn’t want her to hurt the cattle accidentally, and I didn’t want her to get hurt by the angry birds in return. But, it seems like the moment the birds scattered, she was satisfied with her actions and turned back to me, wearing another one of her happy smiles.
“Sorry, Mr. Krekos, I just saw chickens being mean. Bad chickens.” She explained.
I was baffled. Why would she interfere like that? When I tried that back when I was just starting, that got me pecked! But with her, the birds just scattered. What if they pecked her?
I took the pad out again and started typing quickly.
“That was dangerous. Why did you do that? What if they attacked you? Why are you even interfering in their natural dynamics?”, questions flowed out of my pad with an artificial human voice.
The girl simply giggled.
“They’re chickens! They aren’t dangerous. They don’t peck that painful and I’ve been scratched worse before. And I have to stop it because bullying is wrong.”
Then she actually noticed that the one that was being attacked wandered close. She casually approached it from behind, the blind spot and just reached down and grabbed it, picking the bird up. I was ready to rush to help the bird when...
“Mwah! There, all better.”
She did a human ‘kiss’ on the back of the cattle bird’s neck before releasing it, the surprise of it causing it to rush off. I knew what kisses were, I’ve seen enough of them between Lena and Reginald, but I believed they were gestures of intimate affection, not... what was even that?
It seems Rosie noticed my confusion as she explained.
“You gotta kiss it so it heals better! That’s what mom taught me.” The child displayed that smile of hers shamelessly. With how much I was being exposed to it, it almost wasn’t unnerving anymore. Still, it was interesting to learn that kisses are seen as something that helps wounds. I guess some species do have saliva with mild antiseptic properties, wouldn’t be too out there to assume humans are the same. And if that’s the case, maybe that’s how the kissing tradition started? Exchange of protective fluid between lovers?
“I see. I did not know that.” I responded before letting my puffed feathers relax. Okay, this whole ‘watching a human child’ thing is turning out to somehow be even more stressful than I expected at first.
“Wait, Mr. Krekos, what time is it?” She suddenly asked, looking up at the sky.
“It’s nearly twelve.” I respond, holopad having a convenient clock for local time.
“Oh no! I need to be home soon! Was nice seeing you Mr. Krekos gotta go bye!”
Before I had even a chance at typing out an answer or my own goodbye, the child sprinted away and back towards the entrance. I had to take flight just to keep up, and even then she just turned around, waved her arm at me and then kept sprinting down the road after leaving the gate. I simply offered a small wave of a wing back before locking the gate again. I suppose it is hard to keep track of time without a device or clock nearby...
Well, at least I had the usual peace and quiet now. And learned a bit more about the creatures I was in charge of. I should really try to deal with my aversion to looking things up on the human internet...
Just as I was about to head back out towards the yard, I heard a loud car horn, a familiar one, getting my attention. Lena’s car. There they were, signaling me, probably having spotted me at the gate from afar. Deciding to make use of my presence here, and hoping to avoid needing to explain that I had a surprise visitor earlier, I went ahead and opened the large gate, allowing the car to enter.
Once it was parked in the usual space, the doors opened and three people came out. Lena and Reginald were both looking a bit disheveled, but their faces carried these smiles that seemed wider than ever before. And third person... Was a stranger. A human I knew of, but never actually met. As he exited the car, a large bag in one hand, he just stared at me, standing in the front yard...
“...okay, I expected many things when I was told you guys housed a refugee, but not this.”
Oh no. Oh no, he was not one of the ones that was willing to overlook an invader that partook in bombing of his planet being allowed to walk free, of course, Lena and Reginald were the weird ones like that, doesn’t mean their son won’t be... I felt the panic rising as I realized I’d need to return to the camp. Why was I upset about that? This was supposed to just have been a way to make money, but now I have a free education program. Do I need to stay? No, but... Why?! Why do I not want to leave?
“Ken, you said it’s going to be alright no matter what it is, right? Wanted us to keep it a surprise to meet a new friend?” Lena’s voice. She should have told him, that’d give me time to prepare why didn’t they give me time why.
“No, no problems, just, really surprised, that’s all... uh... hey, buddy, you okay? You’re really... trembly.”
He was approaching me, and instinct took over as I recoiled, before stuttering out my answer.
“I-I’m fine...”
...thankfully translators don’t translate voice cracks. I hope, at least...
“Hey, relax... I have no problem with you being a krakotl, I just didn’t think...” He looks over at Lena and Reginald. “Calm down... I can wear my visor if you want?”
Right. Those things humans use to hide their scary faces from us.
“I... I’m good...”
Why would it last? It almost felt good after all.
There was some emotion I struggled to read on the young human’s face, as he sighed and shook his head.
“I screwed this up, I’m sorry. Let... Let me try again.” He straightened out, and adjusted his clothing, before slowly approaching me and giving me a small smile, no teeth showing. “Hello. My name is Kenneth Vince and I'm son of Lena and Reginald Vince. I was told you’re a refugee they took in to help out. It’s nice to meet you. What’s your name?”
That... snapped me out of it. Right... He was... not upset at my existence. He was just very surprised that Lena and Reginald weren’t. That’s a reasonable thing to be surprised about, considering I was surprised about it to this day. I tried to compose myself as I responded.
“My name is Krekos. I live here as... hired help with the cattle. It’s... nice to meet you?”
The smile on Kenneth’s face widens, though he still refrains from showing his teeth. Instead, he extends a hand towards me. A handshake is a human gesture that I found far from comfortable, but I didn’t want to give him a reason to change his mind on acceptability of my existence, so I took it with a wingclaw. He gently took it and held for a few seconds before letting go and sighing again, turning to his parents.
“You know, I always thought you guys would be empty nesters, but I never thought it’d be that literal.”
That got all three of them laughing, as I just tilted my head in confusion. I was fairly sure there were no empty nests in the house until after I adjusted the attic room for my own accommodations. Still, I took the laughter as a sign that the tense moment had fully passed and let my ruffled feathers slowly rest.
“Let’s head inside. Krekos, we’re having dinner, you’re welcome to join us.” Reginald said, picking up Kenneth’s bag. I tilted my head a little and he followed up with elaboration. “We will be having meat... But there’s still going to be stuff you can eat too. It’s a celebration, so I prepared a bit of everything.”
“Dad, you shouldn’t have!” Kenneth responded with embarrassment.
“None of that! Our son returned from the war, alive and a hero, and we can have a celebration. Krekos, I know you’re still... uncertain about meat so you don’t—”
“I’ll join.”
Wait, who said that? And why did they say that in my voice?
Wait, that was me. Why did I say that?
“That’s great to hear! I’ve got some nice steamed broccoli and some vegetarian fried rice as sides that you’ll enjoy!” Reginald smiled at me and I felt myself shrinking into my feathers. That the humans didn’t notice at least, proceeding into the house instead.
Well, looks like I signed my warrant. At least my bag and my epipen were on me in case something at the table triggers the allergy again. Would be rather unfortunate to have it happen two days in a row.
And that’s how, in just ten or so minutes, I found myself sitting at the dining perch, while humans took seats in chairs, all consuming chunks of roasted flesh and somehow managing to also stuff pieces of equally roasted plants in, and converse with one another. You wouldn’t be able to tell on first look, but despite their mouths being relatively small, especially for a predator, it seems they compensate for it by having those be near bottomless in both hunger and small talk.
I am not sure how I managed to shift my focus away from them consuming animal matter in front of me, however vat grown it might have been, and onto their conversation instead, but I succeeded. I suppose that was just part of me going native around predators. Soon, I’ll be the one feasting along with them before I know it, and snacking on those epipens to not die of it.
Like you could ever be on the same level as humans.
“So, Fahl? That’s where you were sent after the Battle of Earth?” Lena asked.
“Yeah. From what I heard, we got a light posting compared to guys at Sillis or Mileau. The most I had to deal with was some exterminator insurgents.”
That’s right. Since harchen participated in the Extermination Fleet, they were one of those who were occupied by humans during the war. It makes sense that there was at least some ground resistance.
“Honestly, the worst thing out there was the heat. Not the flamethrower kind, the climate. The place was so damn dry and hot. At least exterminators you could subdue or evade. Not so much with the scorching sun!”
I couldn’t resist a small chuckle at the idea of a predator being more afraid of hot weather than flamethrowers as I slowly pecked at the vegetables on my plate. Thankfully it was set far enough aside from any meat dishes that no contamination should occur, but I was still examining pieces before putting them in my mouth just in case.
Seems like reacting was a mistake though, as that brought Kenneth’s attention onto me. He finished chewing latest piece of flesh and pointed a fork at me.
“So, Krekos... Where are you from? Cradle was my guess, but I do know there were refugees from other places like Sillis too.”
That’s a weird question. Isn’t it kind of to be expected for a krakotl to be from our actual homeworld?”
“I’m from Nishtal.”
“No, no, that’s not what I meant,” Kenneth chuckled, tossing a piece of broccoli into his mouth and swallowing before continuing, “I meant, where did you live? I kind of assumed you were born there, but it’s not like Nishtal had a chance to send refugees out, and if they did, this is the last place they’d be.”
Oh... I caught concerned looks of Lena and Reginald, looking between me and Kenneth from both sides. Not only did they not make him aware that I was a krakotl, they also neglected to mention just how I came by my refugee status... Which was just a legal workaround to grant me asylum without unnecessary complications or establishing undesirable precedent. Legally, I may be a refugee, but practically... I am a defector. Lena and Reginald know that, I told them my story before. And while they were weirdly accepting, Kenneth... Fought extermination fleet here on Earth. Personally.
Still, I wasn’t about to lie. It took a few moments and gathering mental strength to steel myself, and averting my eyes, focusing on the plate of warm vegetables in front of me rather than the human’s anticipating stare before I answered.
“I did live on Nishtal. I... I came with the extermination fleet.” I responded, doing my best to avoid looking at him. I did not want to witness his reaction, for some reason the thought of seeing it weighed heavy on my mind.
“Oh.”
The response was simple, and had no followup. There was no more clinking of cutlery against plates, or chewing. The only thing hanging in the air of the kitchen was silence, weighing down on me. It dragged on and on... until it just got so unbearable I couldn’t take it.
“I-I’m full... Thank you for the meal.” I quickly said, hopping off the perch and stepping out of the kitchen, quickly making my way to the yard and taking flight.
Fresh air of the outside and rush of it as I flew up and gained speed... I missed that. I knew it’s not safe to just fly over other people’s territory, so I corrected my course into doing large sweeping circles over the cattle yard and simply let my wings carry me.
Flying away from any danger is the only thing I’m good for anyway. The only thing I ever do.
I closed my eyes. With them closed and not focusing on my angle it feels like I’m actually flying away from all the troubles. Away from humans who barely tolerate my existence, away from gojid who see me as worse than a predator, away from Earth and all its incorrigible customs, away from horrid cattle, away from constant memories...
Flying feels nice. It may be a bit harder than it was home, but it’s still possible. I heard that on Venlil Prime or Mileau it’s much harder. But here? Just an extra flap of wings for every few paces and you’re just fine, free to soar the skies...
Alone. With no one to ever share it with me again.
Slowly I let my eyes open back to the bleak reality. Greenery of surrounding pastures and woods, bright blue skies and farmhouses dotted about here and there greeted me. I lowered my gaze down, focusing on what’s below. There they were, fourteen brown and black dots spread around the enclosed portion of the farm territory. I am not sure how much time I’ve spent flying in circles and trying to forget things but my wings were feeling a tad sore. Then as I just began slow descent, in same circular motion, I noticed that one of the birds, a familiar one, was being chased by several others. Recounting the morning, I tried putting the knowledge to action, and shifted direction of descent, swooping down. To my surprise, that actually worked, as the moment I got close to the ground, the cattle birds all got much louder and scattered in all directions, including the loner. Who, at least this time, got off unharmed. I suppose such pathetic flightless creatures would fear a flying one much more than they would when I just run up to them...
Swooping at them from the sky like a predator to intimidate them into behaving... Like an arxur warden.
With the fight preemptively broken up, I flutter up to the roof of the cattle house, to my usual position and rested my wings. I didn’t see any movement from the direction of the house, so I suppose the family is still busy unpacking. Since Kenneth joined the military just before the Battle of Earth, and Lena and Reginald only moved here after their actual house in city of New York got destroyed, it’d be the first time the human is seeing what is basically his new home. There was a room set aside for him since before I even moved in, and while there is also a guest room... That one did not have a large enough window to fit through, which did not feel comfortable. So when I asked for a space with a bigger window they only had an attic to offer. They seemed uncomfortable letting me live in a tiny room with slanted roof, but I found such space more comforting than I would have a large room with a window not large enough to fit even one fully spread wing through.
I wonder if Kenneth will need as much renovation as I did? The house is built for humans, but he never lived there before. Will he need to buy a more comfortable bed? Getting a proper nesting setup in place of a bed took a bit of effort, but I figured something out. Human sheets were comfortable enough for such, and sitting perches were thankfully not that hard to get thanks to help from the refugee administration. Maybe that’s the things that Lena went to buy yesterday? Kenneth’s preferred room decor?
I looked up to the sky to see the sun beginning to dim. I am not sure if it was me flying that long, or me losing track of time in my thoughts again, but the sun was beginning to set. I began my usual chores, putting out an evening meal and water for the beasts, and while they feasted, ate some myself. I was a bit hungry, having not properly finished lunch and about to skip dinner, but after the earlier conversation, I’d really rather avoid giving them the opportunity to talk to me.
After the birds had their fill, and by that I mean they emptied the tray as they always do, I let out the call, and they started funneling into the cattle house. The lonely straggler being first to go and hop into its nesting box. I bet tomorrow I will have trouble with getting her out of there again...
I took the moment to gather some eggs the birds left over course of the day, and once that was over and all of them were accounted for, I closed it up. When I flew down over to the house, there wasn’t anyone by the back door thankfully, so I just left eggs there, returned the basket, and returned to my room through the window.
Well, at least I didn’t get nearly killed today... That’s nice I guess?
I was about to check my holopad when there was a knock on the door. I approached and opened it to see... Kenneth. Standing in the doorway.
“Uh, hi, Krekos. I just, uh... Wanted to apologize again. I really wish mom and dad told me everything ahead of time... I just want you to know, I have no problems with you whatsoever, yeah? It’s just. Surprising, I guess, to hear all that. I didn’t think there were any defectors from the fleet at all... Just. Uh, please don’t worry about me?” He offered me a small smile, showing his canines before quickly correcting himself and doing a closed-lip one. “I didn’t mean to bring up bad memories or make you feel unwelcome.”
I had to take a moment to contemplate his words. Was Lena and Reginald’s weirdness hereditary? He almost reminded me of how Reginald talked to me early on, with constant stumbling over the words, as well as constant reassurances that he is fine with me being here. Couple that with failing to avoid predatory mannerisms like eye contact and smiles like Lena tends to and you get this human. But most importantly and least understandably, there was the general fact of him and them just... welcoming me. I couldn’t understand why. I should be one sorry to them.
“N-No, it’s fine... I’m sorry for... intruding on you and your family.”
“No, no, dude, you’re fine! I mean, hell, I was considering entering one of those exchange programs before the bombings happened, and even after, well, I did my best at Fahl to be the perfect friendly soldier just there to make sure no more bombs drop on my home and not kill or conquer anyone. And then mom told me your story, and I can’t believe it... Just... If you have any issues, feel free to tell me. I’m not one of those racist pricks that are too pussy to even call themselves HF anymore because they know they’ll get their teeth knocked. I get that there aren't good or bad species, just people. And you seem like a decent guy if mom and dad’s judgment is to be trusted.” His smile widened, though it was clear from tension on his face that he had to take conscious effort to keep teeth hidden. “So, what I said earlier stands. Friends, right?”
He extends hand forward, for a second time today. I wasn’t sure if I knew this human long enough to call him a friend... Any human really. But it also seems like human definition of ‘friends’ is anyone they’re cordial and peaceful with. Which is weird. You’d think translators would properly use ‘acquaintance’ for that.
Still... We will be living in the same house now. I can’t just say no, and... I can’t come up with a reason to say no. Even him being a predator and a human is not something I could really say I object to, considering how... mundane that became to me over my time here.
So, with naught on my mind but acceptance of the situation, I extended my wing and grasped his hand with my claw. This time he actually gripped it tightly and moved it up and down, as I saw other humans do occasionally.
“Yeah... I guess that’d be for the best.” I responded, shrugging off the hesitation. Fresh start for a third time, I guess?
The human grinned, forgetting to hide his teeth entirely, but I was ready for it somehow and avoided outwardly reacting.
“Cool! Anyway, I’ll try to get some shuteye early, I couldn’t sleep on the overnight flight home. See ya!”
And with that he left. Well... That meeting went well I suppose?
I returned to my nest and picked up my holopad, returning to what I was doing. And there it was, something I awaited every day. A notification that I was messaged on mailing app. Opening the letter revealed the schedule for the study program. Which... only had one day marked on it. And a note that the rest of it will be figured out ‘as we go from there’. So it’s not a schedule, it’s just a mark for the day of the first meeting.
While a bit underwhelming, it was still exciting. It would be an all-alien class so I wouldn’t have to deal with humans’ incomprehensibility nearly as much, and it would allow me to finally return to pursuing what I actually dreamt of. Even if I wasn’t entirely sure that was precisely what I wanted after everything that happened, it was at least something for me to move towards.
...just two days until start. I wonder if there’s some required reading to prepare?

2024.05.19 08:35 One-Broccoli-9998 Chat gpt’s Dr.Seuss explains quantum chromodynamics

I know this isn’t exactly a meme but I didn’t know where else to post this:
Imagine, dear friend, in the tiniest space, Where particles zip and they zoom and they race. With colors like red, green, and blue in the mix, They dance and they twirl, doing quantum tricks.
Quarks are the stars of this quirky parade, With gluons as glue in the games that they’ve played. They stick and they pull with a powerful force, Binding together with no set course.
Up quarks and down quarks and strange ones, oh my! They spin and they shimmer, they don’t just comply. Quantum Chromodynamics, that’s the name of this game, Where the rules are all wacky and nothing’s the same.
So next time you wonder how matter’s arranged, Just think of this tale where physics gets strange. In a world so minute, where the weird things collide, Quantum quirks and their colors make quite the ride!

2024.05.19 08:33 Silverhand_2024 Everything feels dead

The past month or two everything has felt dead when it comes to God. A lot of things piled on, and I’ve reached a point with depression and addiction issues that I’ve given up trying to get better. I’ve given up repenting because I know I’ll do the same thing day after day after day because I can’t stop myself and I don’t want to stop anymore.
At some point I lost joy and anything outside of my interests/career passion/hobbies. Going to church feels like a task I have to drag my feet through. Bible reading feels like empty words on a page, and prayer is just saying words into a void.
It feels like I’m the one person God has stopped loving or caring about. I mean I get it, I stopped loving or caring about myself too.
I don’t want to be a Christian anymore. It feels like my brain is constantly split in two, battling with nihilism and sin every freaking second and I’m exhausted. I don’t have faith God is gonna cure my depression or remove my addiction anymore.
I’m tired of pretending or doing bare minimum things to try to fool my family that I still believe what they do, let alone other Christian friends. At this point I read Bible verses out of habit every night, maybe some sort of paranoia that something bad will happen if I don’t.
I would really like to not exist anymore. Least that way I could catch up on some sleep I’ve lost the past four years.

2024.05.19 08:30 eprlandscaping40 Lawn Care in Pompano Beach: Achieving a Lush and Vibrant Lawn

Maintaining a lush and vibrant lawn in Pompano Beach, Florida, requires specialized care and attention to detail due to the region's unique climate and environmental conditions. Lawn care in this coastal city involves a combination of regular maintenance, proper fertilization, pest control, and water management. This article explores the essential aspects of lawn care in Pompano Beach and highlights the expert services offered by professional lawn care providers like EPR Landscaping.

Understanding the Climate of Pompano Beach

Pompano Beach enjoys a subtropical climate characterized by warm temperatures year-round, high humidity, and distinct wet and dry seasons. These conditions are ideal for various types of grass but also pose challenges such as drought stress during the dry season and fungal diseases during the wet season. Effective lawn care strategies must address these factors to ensure a healthy and resilient lawn.

Key Lawn Care Practices

Regular Mowing and Trimming
Regular mowing is crucial to maintaining a healthy lawn. The frequency of mowing depends on the growth rate of the grass, which can vary with the seasons. In Pompano Beach, grass often grows quickly due to the warm climate and needs to be mowed frequently during the growing season. Proper mowing techniques, such as keeping the mower blades sharp and not cutting more than one-third of the grass height at a time, help prevent stress on the grass and promote even growth.
Fertilization
Fertilizing the lawn provides essential nutrients that support robust growth and a vibrant green color. In Pompano Beach, a balanced fertilization schedule tailored to the specific grass type and soil conditions is important. Applying fertilizers at the right times of the year, typically in the spring and fall, can help maintain healthy growth and improve the lawn's resilience against pests and diseases.
Pest and Weed Control
Pests and weeds can quickly damage a lawn if not properly managed. Common pests in Pompano Beach lawns include chinch bugs, grubs, and sod webworms. Implementing an integrated pest management (IPM) approach, which combines cultural, mechanical, biological, and chemical methods, can effectively control these pests while minimizing environmental impact. Similarly, regular monitoring and the use of pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides help keep weeds at bay.
Water Management
Proper watering is essential for lawn health, particularly during the dry season. Lawns in Pompano Beach should be watered deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Using smart irrigation systems that adjust watering schedules based on weather conditions and soil moisture levels can conserve water and ensure that the lawn receives adequate hydration without overwatering.

I recently had the pleasure of trying out Veharvim's Polarized Sun Visor for my car, and I must say, it has been a game changer. As someone who spends a lot of time in the car, I'm always on the lookout for ways to make my driving experience more comfortable, especially during the intense sunny days. This visor has been an absolute godsend in achieving that.
The highlights of this visor for me include its polarization technology that blocks harmful UV rays and dazzling reflected lights, making my drive much safer and more comfortable. It's also incredibly easy to install and use, with a simple hook and loop closure type that ensures it stays securely in place while I drive. Plus, the fact that it's made in China doesn't affect its quality at all, which is a plus in my book!
However, I did face a minor hiccup with this visor. I noticed a slight delay in its delivery, which was a bit inconvenient. Additionally, I wish there were more options available for different colors or patterns to match my car's interior.

https://preview.redd.it/hzlvorjsub1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=17923315067b6841deb0e773d1710fcb4ecc381c
I recently tried out the "Extend A Visor" and it has been a game-changer when it comes to driving during early morning or late afternoon hours. It's amazing how this little gadget can make such a difference! The best feature is definitely its extendability; it can move left or right and extends up to a full 9 inches. This extension is perfect for reaching areas that my car's visor just can't cover.
Another highlight is the tinted pull-down screen that comes with it. The sun can be quite blinding at times, and this feature blocks out the glare effectively while reducing eye strain. Plus, attaching it is a breeze thanks to the nylon straps which attach it to either the front or back of the visor - a great feature!
However, one minor issue I encountered was that the adjustment mechanism could sometimes get a bit stiff, making it slightly difficult to slide the visor into place. But all in all, the Extend A Visor has made driving much more comfortable and safer for me, especially during those tricky daylight saving times.

I recently got the chance to try out the Extend a Visor and it's been quite an experience. First off, let's talk about its standout feature - the ability to extend up to 9". It's been incredibly convenient for those sunny days when I just can't escape the glare on my eyes. The process is simple, extend the visor left or right depending upon your preference, and voila! My eyes are saved from direct sunlight.
One more thing that I really appreciated was the sturdiness of this product. Crafted with a nylon strip, it's been nothing but robust. Unlike other flimsy sunshades I've used before, this one seems to be made for endurance.
However, I must admit, it does have some downsides as well. The attachment method, straps threading through tiny holes, isn't the most user-friendly solution. Plus, it's worth mentioning that pulling the visor too far might lead to the extension coming out completely.
Despite these minor hiccups, I must say that the Extend a Visor indeed helps in blocking glare from the sun's rays. So, if you're looking for a budget-friendly way to guard your eyes against harsh sunlight while driving, this could be worth checking out.
As for the reviews, they seem to be a mixed bag - some users finding the product as effective as advertised but others having issues with its attachment and sturdiness. It seems like you get what you pay for, but the product's unique functionality does offer some value for money. So, overall, the Extend a Visor isn't perfect, but it's definitely worth considering if you're on the lookout for a sun blocker for your car.

While I can see how some users might have had a negative experience due to its design or lack of effectiveness, I personally found that it did a remarkable job at dimming down the harsh lights during my long drives.

I recently got myself a "Glare Guard Anti-Glare Polarized Car Visor Extender" to help with the harsh sun glare during my daily drive. After using it for a couple of months now, I must say it's been a lifesaver in more ways than one.
First off, the polarized lens really does reduce glare effectively. It makes driving so much easier, especially when the sun is right in front of you or low down on the horizon. Plus, it blocks 99.9% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, which gives me peace of mind about skincare too.
One thing I particularly like about this product is its adjustable nature. It easily attaches to the built-in car visor and has Velcro straps that ensure safety while driving. The microfiber cleaning cloth included is also a nice touch for keeping the visor clean and smudge-free.
However, there was one minor issue I found. The size of the visor extension can be a bit distracting, depending on how high or low you adjust it. I wish it were slightly longer to provide a more seamless fit with my car's visor.
Overall, the Glare Guard Anti-Glare Polarized Car Visor Extender has made my driving experience significantly more comfortable and safer. It's made with high-quality materials and works exactly as promised. If you're looking for a reliable solution to tackle sun glare while driving, this product is definitely worth considering.

I recently tried out the Visor Extender with Straps and I was excited to see how it improved my visibility while driving. As someone who frequently drives into the sun, I know how dangerous it can be to not have proper protection from the glare. Overall, the Visor Extender performed pretty well and significantly reduced my eye strain, making my driving experience much more comfortable and safe.
One major highlight of this product is its adjustable straps, which allow for a customizable fit to different vehicle models. The fact that it can reach places where a regular visor can't definitely provides an added measure of safety while driving. Made in the USA, the quality of this product seems to be reliable, as it has remained intact despite regular use.
However, there are some cons to consider as well. Some users have reported issues with the straps sliding off the existing sun visor, which can be frustrating and may affect the overall performance of the extender. Additionally, there have been reports of the visor being difficult to put on or take off, which may discourage some users from using it regularly.
In terms of size, the Visor Extender is fairly compact and won't obstruct your view when not in use, making it a non-intrusive addition to your vehicle. It also folds up and out of the way in seconds, making it easy to use on the go.
Overall, the Visor Extender with Straps is a useful accessory for drivers who frequently encounter glaring sun while on the road. While it has some minor flaws, it provides a significant improvement in visibility and comfort, making it worth considering as a purchase.

2024.05.19 08:26 mcbw2019 Someone tarnishing my name

I am struggling with how to handle this situation.
We found a (stray?) dog and took it in. We immediately made posts on local pages, took her around the neighborhood, called shelters, etc. with no one reaching out to claim her. The next day, my husband took her to the vet, where she did not have a chip. The vet said she had been bred excessively and likely dumped. At this point, we were planning on keeping her if no one came forward, but she began biting my kids. In the interest of our children, we changed our mind, posted again looking for her owners, and heard nothing from anyone. I know not everyone is on Facebook, but if you were really looking, you’d have family searching on there or post flyers or contact shelters or something. Radio silence.
On day 6 of feeding and caring for this dog, a woman who lives on a rescue farm offered to take her in, and we accepted. We were clear about the whole situation, and she came and picked up the dog. Now, I will admit that it was actually just a horse rescue. I did not know that initially until my husband told me later, and I guess they had plans to keep the dog personally. Honestly, I was fine with that because no one was claiming her anyway and she was crated all the time at my house because of my kids.
A woman who had read the online posts messaged me on FB wanting to know why I deleted my posts about the dog etc. I explained the whole situation, everything I just told you. She asked where I sent the dog in case the owners were found and wanted to legally claim her, and I told her.
I guess she called them, because she messaged me back and said they only had horses and could I have taken her somewhere else. At this point I stopped responding because I don’t know this lady and honestly I just want to be done with it. A few hours later she send me a NASTY message telling me what a terrible person & liar I am, how my stories don’t match up, karma will get me, and mad because I deleted the post. I deleted the post because I was getting 500 messages to go check for a chip etc.
I would just ignore this completely, but I’m a teacher and we have a ton of mutual friends, principals, fellow teachers, etc. and I am concerned about what she might say. She didn’t post my name publicly but told people to message her if they wanted to know details about the shady person involved.
I did eventually reply and reiterated my role and that I had been honest about everything from the beginning. I was kind and told her I’m sure she sees a lot of shady people in the rescue community but that we were not doing anything for our personal gain, etc. I said that I appreciate that she cares for animals but that I appreciate that she not spread misinformation about me and that I am deterred from helping in the future because of the critical responses received.
What do I do? Maybe we should have taken the dog to a shelter, but we didn’t. We were trying to be kind to an animal in need but those FB pet groups are so critical and rude.
Owners still haven’t come forward BTW.

2024.05.19 08:24 XD_B The beauty of Islam

A couple of days ago I made a post on this subreddit asking people for ways to win an argument against my friend and prove to him that Islam isn’t real I got some really good replies as well as did my own digging on this server and some other research and compiled it all into a 500 page google slides doc Once I presented it to my friend I got the worlds biggest headache trying to discuss the topic with him No matter what I said he said it’s the wrong interpretation or that the Quran didn’t come down at once it came at different times meaning that what was said at that time wasn’t suitable for a later time I talked to him about a post I saw here that talked about the origins of the word jahannam and how the comparison the Jesus made was not referring to hell being jahannam but a place like jahannam ( gehnna a valley in Jerusalem ) and he said well simply we don’t believe the Bible is correct and we can’t confirm the words of the Bible since it’s been changed so many times I proved the scientific accuracies and he complained that I was leaning to one side ( that god doesn’t exist ) which I told him from the beginning but he still cried about it and said to include islams reply to that and when I asked him what he meant he said to include the opinions of scholars to which I responded there is no point as even if I do you will disagree with those scholars and find one that you will agree on and after he admitted to it I added seven Sunni and Shia scholars and he said yeah this is good but it still doesn’t prove anything when in reality the scholars all talked about the so called scientific miracles not scientific miracles but rather metaphors and when I asked him about the Shahh Al bukhari he said we don’t believe in that as we are Shia It’s just wonderful how they don’t believe in any evidence 😂 And when my friend who is also a Muslim but Sunni was hearing our convos he told him not to pay attention or read my doc as it could change his beliefs which is just amazing brainwashing imo I just want to prove to him that there is nothing amazing or special or true about the Quran I want him to not believe anymore and I want so much proof that the Quran is bs that he can’t even think of arguing So please help me out below about some topics or all topics to cover in my new document disproving Islam Some really good things to include into it As always have a good day

2024.05.19 08:21 DoveQuiet Looking for an Tall Online Friend, maybe also to admire

Hello guys,
I am looking for (an) Online-Friend(s). Actually it wouldn't matter if you are tall or not, I guess. For friendships it doesn't matter. I just would like to have a Tall Friend somehow. Would like to chat regularly, about nonsense, laughing, fouling around, sharing thoughts, deeper mindests, etc. Knowing that I can reach out and you listen and You knowing I will listen to you.
Maybe even admiring you a lot, like kind of a cheerleader(?), trying to smooth bad vibes or making you feel better again.
I know that sounds weird and I am quite sure, that there won't be an answer to this post, I guess... also because the tall guys are always out of my league.
To my person: I am 30 years old from Germany. I am a kind of more silent person, I can talk a lot, but all over I don't think much about myself. I don't think I am really good in anything. I think of myself as being very supportive towards other persons, trying to show them what great people they are. I try to be friendly and kind to anyone, trying my best in this case. But all in all I don't want to hurt anyone, also because I know how it feels to be hurt by others...
I am working in the social field. I love to read books and to cook & bake. I like to listen to music and watching series or movies. Also like animals and plants and natures.
I have brown hair and brown eyes, wearing glasses, average body, not sport, not chubby. If you wanted to know that. I am 6 ft btw, so if you are much raller, would be nice, but... yeah as I said... Tall Guys are actually playing in leagues over me...
Thank You for reading this and maybe hear from you soon
much Greetings 🌿

2024.05.19 08:19 Acceptable-System889 This happened a long time ago (I’m 22) I should be over it now?

My dad passed away 3 years ago. Growing up I had a very difficult childhood where there was a lot of emotional and physical abuse happening on a daily basis. It was a very frightening place sometimes and I was always on edge. My sisters suffered the same and one of my sisters said my dad was sexual towards her (same mum- different dad) but she didn’t want to go into the details. I have been talking more with my partner about my childhood and how some things just “weren’t right”. I have vivid memories but I’m not sure if I’m just maybe overthinking it. Some things I found strange was my Dad cuddling me in bed naked when I was 16 (spooning position). Another one for me was that my friend was once in the toilet(I was with her) and my dad walked past the door and kept trying to see in. Another incident my partner found weird was the fact that my dad smacked my bum as punishment when I was 15. I wrote in my diary as I wrote everything in that, and read it out to my dad who told me to take out that page. My friend also said she felt he was “creepy’. I was young and told my dad at the time she said this- I wasn’t allowed to see her again. My sister has said there was sexual abuse that happened but she won’t go into it. It’s all a bit messed up but I feel like it’s affecting me to this day. I have really bad confidence and need to drink myself silly to get myself less anxious. Is this common or normal to feel so unworthy?
