Hi all! With less than 3 weeks until my Kickstarter "Let The Games Begin" launches, I thought I'd share with you how I run a Tavern Drinking Contest.
If you enjoy this and want to see more, sign up to get notified when the project launches at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/avasadventures/let-the-games-begin-50-mini-games-for-dandd-5e
Overview
Nothing riles up and excites a packed tavern quite like a drinking contest, especially when there are free drinks on the line. A row of eager competitors take their seats along the bar table, encouraged by their friends and companions.
Introducing the wide variety of beverages on offer, the barkeeper measures out the drinks and acts as arbitrator of the game to ensure fairness and civility. A rowdy crowd of drunken fools can quickly devolve into a bar brawl if not handled carefully.
Mug after mug is handed to each of the contestants, as they guzzle down the foamy liquid, continuing until only one person remains at the table. The game is a great event for merriment and a bit of gambling on the side. Hopefully, a cure for hangovers is available nearby.
Mechanics
Gathering at the table, each Player begins with one extra life to save them from elimination. The round of drinks is passed across, and each player rolls a Constitution Saving Throw. The game begins with a DC of 8 and increases for each round. If a Player fails the save, they lose their extra life and will be eliminated if they fail another round, through either vomiting, passing out, or calling it quits.
Throughout the game, the rounds increase in difficulty in increments of +1 and +2 to the DC. For example, the first round is DC 8, the second is DC 9, third is DC 10, but fourth jumps to DC 12. The last person remaining wins the game.
Variant Game
An alternative drinking game revolves around the different brands and intensity of alcoholic beverages. Here the objective is to be the first to reach 21 points. The points are acquired by successfully consuming different drinks without falling unconscious or throwing up. The value of the points correspond with the ferocity of the drink.
On a Player’s turn, they will decide which drink they will try to consume that round. With the drink in hand, the Player will roll a Constitution Saving Throw to determine if they successfully guzzle the booze or not. The DC is determined by the strength of the alcohol. If the Player succeeds, they are rewarded with the corresponding points, if they fail, they receive only half the points that round.

Drink Name	DC	Point Value
Ale	10	1
White Whistle	12	2
Red Dog	13	3
Barrage No. 4	15	4
Snake Brew	17	5
Nighty Night	20	6

With each failed Constitution Saving Throw, a contestant falls dangerously closer to unconsciousness. A Player has 3 strikes before they succumb to sleep and are eliminated from the game. Victory is achieved by being the first contestant to accumulate a total of 21 points.
The strategy of this drinking game lies in the balance of risking stronger drinks to reach the goal quicker, with avoiding falling unconscious too soon. If a Player only chooses the lighter beverages, they may accumulate points too slowly to win, or might be the only person left standing. There is also the factor of still receiving at least half points on a fail, to add into the strategy.

I purchased a land in the Philippines from my grandmother and made a sizeable downpayment. A CTS (contract to sell) was issued afterwards stipulating the payment agreement between me (the buyer) and seller (my grandma). The CTS outlined my name as the buyer but since I’m unable to sign the document, my father signed on my behalf. I thought for sure a POA would be required from me but dad said the lawyer never asked. He further told me that the CTS only required my grandma’s and two witnesses’ signature. I’m just weirded out that my signature or an SPA weren’t required on a legal document such as this. Will this cause any problem when acquiring the DOAS or transferring title?

Repost cause of the title.
So this issue happened yesterday afternoon. For context my dad was out on a business trip when he recieved a call from a guy posing to be "Bangalore police". It was a WhatsApp call with the dp as DGP Pratap Reddy. He apparently asked a few questions like "when was the last time you saw your son?" "when was the last time you spoke to him?" and then claimed that I was at the police station. He got my dad's name and my name right which caused my dad to be a little worried about the situation. My dad immediately called up to check on me and make sure everything was good. Now fortunately I was at home with my mom as I have my end sems going on and I have breaks between my paper. The scammer apparently called him repeatedly asking why my dad cut the call and it being very disrespectful and could have some serious consequences.
Now imagine if both my parents are at work and I am in college or in a situation where I'm unable to pick their call. Recieving a call like this could cause a lot of panic and it is natural to miss the tell tale signs of this being a scam when one is in such a state. So let this be a reminder to stay vigilant of such scams that seem to be running rampant now a days.

• The number did start with +92 which my dad didn't notice initially.

The dev console (This Post shows how it works) gives you an "Unlock all Sociotech" button to sign both Order and Faith laws together. I wanted to also sign both the Last Autumn law trees, and have finally figured out how this is done. Here are the steps below if you want to do the same, make sure that the dev console and "ShowDebugButtonsPanel" has been entered already.
To access the administration laws, you will need to open the "All Dilemma's List" and select "Builders Scenario". scroll down in the list, and you will find a dilemma named "Motivation (Reality Check)". This will trigger the event to consider signing an administration law. The only downside is that every time you want to sign a new administration law, you need to click this dilemma again.
The setup for the labor laws is a little different, but the idea is similar. To unlock both the Workers and Engineers law branches, you need to enter the 2 commands below.
InvokeEvent("[Builders] Sociotech Unlock -Left")
InvokeEvent("[Builders] Sociotech Unlock -Right")
This will make both visible for the next step. Go back to the builder's dilemmas from before and find the event "First Work Accident (Safety Unlock)(Safety Concerns)". This will trigger the prompt to choose safety laws, and you should see all the labor laws.
After a while (or if you cheat to instantly sign laws), you can sign New Faith, New Order, Terror and Servitude all in the same city.

About 2 weeks ago I (Male 20) was walking in my home when I lost my breath and couldn't breathe for a few seconds until I coughed and managed to catch my breath again. Around the same time, I started experiencing chest pain that would come and go frequently. The pain relaxed for a few days but today the pain in my chest is returning for longer periods. Ive also been experiencing pain in my left shoulder, back, and upper stomach as of today. I am concerned that I am experiencing the warning signs of a heart attack. Especially because I had a healthy brother pass away from a heart attack while doing physical exercise at school at only 9 years old. I'm not sure as to whether or not I should seek Medical attention since I dont have insurance. Is there any way I can rule out that this is a pending heart attack from home? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Ps: I think I should mention that last time I had a physical appointment my doctor told me that I had high cholesterol. In addition, Im also overweight (6" 250lbs"). I should also mention that I chugged a 200mg energy drink 1 day prior to experiencing these symtoms and felt strong chest pain right after finishing the drink as well. Drinking around 225mg of caffine daily was a routine for me prior to experiencing these symptoms.

Hi all, I have a 6 month old border collie and we go on a lot of walks. He likes to lay down on walks. It’s usually for about the first 15 minutes of the walk and then he’s good to go. Some days he does it more than others. I’d say he’s been doing this ever since he was a little little puppy like 12 weeks old when we first started walking him. He does it even when it’s not hot out, so I don’t think that’s the problem. I started bringing treats on our walks and that motivates him to get up but it really only helps in the moment. He does it mainly when he sees someone he wants to say hi to, sees a kid or another dog. He will also do it when he doesn’t want to go a certain way or for example when we pass the dog park he does it and won’t move because he wants to go there. I can see why he’s doing that, but idk why he’s doing it randomly throughout our walks and when we are in the presence of kids, dogs and certain people. I’m curious has anyone else had this happen? When he goes to the vet they say everything is great with him and he doesn’t show any signs of anything being wrong physically. He’s a bit shy with kids and dogs, so I thought that could be it but he’ll also do it randomly when no one is around and there’s a nice patch of shady grass. We’ve tried so many different harnesses as well, and the behavior is the same pretty much with all of them. Any tips or does anyone have an idea why he’s doing this?? I promise he’s not tired lol

Hello Reddit,
I’m reaching out to share my recent experience with the Schengen visa application process, and to seek advice and support from this community. My wife and I recently applied for a Schengen visa through the Swedish Embassy for a trip to celebrate our 15th year together (not our marriage anniversary). Despite meticulous preparation, our application was denied, leaving us frustrated and disheartened. Here are the details:
Our Background:

• We are both working professionals.
• The trip was purely for tourism and to celebrate our anniversary.
• My wife earns a bare minimum salary but works for a reputable company, while I earn more than a decent about for my age, for this trip and for the country I am living in!
• I showed ample financial means through a combination of savings, government bonds, and deposit scheme investments, with a 1:1:1 ratio. My liquid bank savings alone were sufficient to cover the trip for two weeks.

Documents We Submitted:

1. Completed and signed visa application form.
2. Proof of identity and marital status (photocopy of passport, national identity, marriage certificate).
3. Round-trip flight confirmation.
4. Hotel reservations
5. Financial stability and proof of income (payslips, salary certificate, bank account statement, solvency certificate, TIN certificate, income tax certificates, and saving certificates).
6. Health and travel insurance policy covering the entire stay.
7. Detailed itinerary.

Reason for Denial: The refusal letter cited two reasons:

1. "The information communicated to justify the purpose and conditions of the planned stay are not reliable."
2. "There are reasonable doubts as to your intention to leave the territory of the member states before the expiry of the visa."

Our Feelings: Despite presenting a strong case with genuine and meticulously prepared documents, we were denied. This feels like a severe injustice, especially considering our stable backgrounds, education, and financial ability to support the trip, only for the people like us. It’s hard not to feel that this scrutiny is disproportionately harsh. I understand there are a lot of political neusance going on, but with strong background and education, and ability to spare, I guess this is just us!
Seeking Advice: Has anyone else faced a similar situation? How did you handle it, and were you successful on a subsequent application? Any advice on how we can strengthen our application further or address the reasons for denial would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for reading and for any help you can provide.
TL;DR: Applied for a Schengen visa through the Swedish Embassy with my wife to celebrate our 15th year together. Despite a thorough and genuine application, we were denied for reasons that seem unfounded. Seeking advice and support from those who have been in a similar situation.

The original "The Fast and the Furious" released in 2001, contains a biblical subplot. This isn't as farfetched as it seems, considering that this film was re-written before its release by David Ayer, who is considered "...one of the five most prominent Christians in Hollywood." The original screenplay was written by Gary Scott Thompson. His vision for the film was for an all Italian cast racing through the streets of New York City. David Ayer, rendered some rewrites that made the film what has become these 20-something years later. One of his changes sets the film in Los Angeles instead of New York. Scripturally, angels are messengers and there surely is a message in this film, which is a re-telling of Revelation 13 using the analogy of cars and street racing.
To sum up the message of Revelation 13 is this: The Roman Catholic Church represented by "the sea beast" (Revelation 13:1) unites with America represented by "the earth beast" (Revelation 13:11) to issue the Mark of the Beast (Revelation 13:16-18). Scripture supplies the most in-depth literature known to man and this film has become a pop-culture gem because of it. Let's look at some of the symbolism.
Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) is an allegory of the Roman Catholic Church. The name Dominic is derived from the Latin Dominicus and is a name given to boys born on Sunday. It is the root word for "Domingo" which is Spanish for Sunday. Contrary to the 7th Day Sabbath of the 4th commandment (Exodus 20:8), Catholics instituted their own day of worship, which is Sunday. Priest Brady, in an address, reported in the Elizabeth, NJ ‘News’ on March 18, 1903, stated, "It is well to remind the Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, and all other Christians, that the Bible does not support them anywhere in their observance of Sunday. Sunday is an institution of the Roman Catholic Church, and those who observe the day observe a commandment of the Catholic Church." Their are many pontifical orders in the Catholic Church and one of them is the "Dom-inican" Order. Pope Pius V was of the Dominican Order and he instituted the Inquisition. The Dominican monks are known for brewing beer and in the movie, Dom is constantly advertising "Corona Beer." Dominic Toretto drives a 1993 Mazda RX-7 FD. At the core of this car is a turbocharged Wankel motor, driven by rotors instead of pistons. The rotors are Releaux triangles and were prominent features on gothic style Catholic Churches. The Releaux triangle is also the basic shape for the triquetra which a symbol for the Trinity. The Trinity is never mentioned in Scripture as a name for God which is important. The Trinity is a Catholic invention. The Roman Catholic Church is named as such because it absorbed practices and traditions from the Roman Empire. It was Constantine that issued the first Sunday Law; an attempt to make Sunday holy. They used to hold races in the Coliseum to honor the Roman trinity known as the Captoline Triad or the Archaic Triad. The name Trinity was coined by Tertullian, a staunch Romanist. This is why Dominic uses three Honda Civics to pull of the heists, because Trinitarians believe the Holy Spirit is another being form that sits on the Throne of God; three on the throne. In reality, there are only two being forms, the Father and the Son, on the throne, with their Spirit being inherently there. Dominic's RX-7 has a Veilside body kit. The "veil" (Hebrews 10:20) is symbolic of Jesus Christ and the pope believes that He is an additional incarnation of Christ. In the beginning of Fast X, Dominic is portrayed as a defender of the Vatican and St. Peters. Dominic Toretto is the Roman Catholic Church.
Brian Spilner [O'Conner] (Paul Walker) is an allegory of American Protestantism. The name Brian means "noble" and nobility is defined as having "high morals standards and ideals." Brian is also a police officer or a keeper of the law. America was established as a Protestant Christian nation with the intent of upholding the Law of God. Most Protestants today have forsaken the Sabbath command and uphold the Catholic Sunday. Brian is also on the "wine of Babylon" and is seen drinking and distributing alcohol throughout the film. Protestant denominations now also believe in the Trinity, significantly compromising the strength of the Protest. Is this reflected in Brian's ride? Yes. Brian drives a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse. The Mitsubishi symbol is a trinity of diamonds or rhombuses. At the heart of the Eclipse is a PentaStar 4G63 built by Chrysler. Chrysler secured a $75 million war contract to aid in producing J. Robert Oppenheimers "Little Boy"; the atomic bomb dropped on, of all places, Japan. The codename for the first atomic bomb test was "Trinity", named for the Catholic triune god. The American symbolism for Brian's car doesn't stop there. The American rebadged version of the Mitsubishi Eclipse, is the Eagle Talon. There is also an abstract blue and white eagle on the side of Brian's car; the eagle being a prominent symbol for America. Brian's surname "O'Connor" is of Irish origin. Catholics have slandered the name of St. Patrick claiming that he used the shamrock to preach the Trinity, but in reality he was vehemently against, or protested, the Catholic doctrine or the Trinity. Revelation 13:11 says that America sprang up like a Lamb (a symbol of Jesus Christ) but began to speak as a dragon (a symbol for Satan.) This denotes compromise. Brian is seen sitting with Dominic many times drinking alcohol, a sure fire way to lower your inhibitions and compromise your integrity. Brian has illicit relations with Mia, Dominic's sister [who openly displays her devotion to the Catholic Church in the film], which seals his compromise. Brian then ends up lying to his superiors after sleeping with Dom's sister. Brian is an Apostate (Lawless) Protestant Church.
Brian loses his car to Dom in a street race, which transfers ownership of the American-powered Eclipse to Dominic. Eventually, America will be owned by the Roman Catholic Church and will "build an image to the beast" and issue the Mark of the Beast on their behalf. The Eclipse is destroyed. Is not America in such a a state of declension, that the calling of a moral leader seems like the only way to save this country? Remember, Pope Francis came to America in 2015 and addressed not only the nation from the White House, but also an active session of Congress. We are a constitutionally church and state separate nation. What was the Pope doing there? Dom and Brian start working on another car to replace the destroyed Eclipse; a 1994 Toyota Supra. Before 1990, there was no official symbol for Toyota. On October 2, 1989, the official logo was released. The symbol is a "T" comprised of a trinity of ellipses. The code name for a 1994-1998 Supra is the Mark IV(4). So the Toyota Supra contains as mark and a trinity.
So what is the Mark of the Beast? Sunday observance and worship enforced by law. Dominic's name associates him with Sunday and Brian, being a police officer, associates him with the law. When they united to build the Supra together, it symbolized a National Sunday Law aka The Mark of the Beast. Their union also is symbolic of the formation of church and state in America: the "image to the beast." By the way, all graphics for the cars in the film were supplied by "Modern Image." When this forms, we are in "Barney Rubble Trouble." We are a country built on ecclesiastical liberty, but when a Sunday Law is put into motion, those who accept the law, will lose their "Liberty of Conscience." No good. This is why when Pope Francis addressed an active session of Congress, where we pass laws, was not a good sign. In fact, Pope Francis chose a Fiat 500 to ride in when he came to America. The word "fiat" translates to "law." This was not a coincidence.
How does this movie end? After one final race, Dominic flips his car, receiving a "deadly wound" (Revelation 13:3). Dominic (the pope, the outlaw) is not captured and brought up on charges as he should. Instead, Brian (America, the law, the Image to the Beast) hands over the keys to the Supra, giving Dominic complete power and ownership. Scripture says that the Roman Catholic Church will come to an end and that God's true people need to "come out of her...lest ye be partakers of her plagues..."
The promotion of Sunday, the exaltation of the Trinity, the apocalyptic formation of the Image of the Beast (Church and State) and the fraudulent retelling of prophecy is all contained in a little movie about street racing released almost 23 years ago. The sequels, attractions, and merchandise have never ceased to roll off the assembly line. Sequels that point to Dominic as a Catholic Champion. Even in "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift", the first song to play is "Six Days" by DJ Shadow. [Refer to Exodus -11] This song puts Monday as the first day of the week making Sunday the Seventh Day, giving Sunday the appearance that it is the Sabbath of the Lord. Yes. The Fast and the Furious is arrayed against the Law of God. The sobering fact is, Revelation 13 is already being played out right in front of our eyes. This film, which could arguably be called "The Last Great Film Before 9/11", portrayed the various steps and phases that America, nay the world, was about to go through, with the audience unaware. Sadly, Paul Walker has passed, but the message lives on today, with the OG Fast and Furious still being the greatest effort in the series.
Thank you for your time and consideration. 🙏🏾🙏🏽
Please watch the video Swift to Mischief: A Prophetic Exposition of "The Fast and the Furious" for greater detail.

I wish there was a feature that adds the most active moderator as the Top Mod of a sub for a year, and then again in cycles

Post contents

Hello, this is an account I use for my personal interests, but on main account, I moderate a sub that's relatively large and I feel so done with how things are done there.
The top mod is basically part of a lot of other subs, and even though the sub I'm in is just as huge and growing, they hardly come by. Even if they do, they just approve posts and leave once a month or in two months.
Most of the moderators are inactive. The number of active mods including me is just, maybe, two? Like two. That's a crazy number when you have like 10+ mods on the sub.
Even the other two active mods just barely come by to not end up as inactive on the sub.
I alone do the work. It's tiring. It's frustrating. One might say then "add more mods or quit and start a new subreddit or remove existing inactive mods" like it's easier said than done.
I'm not allowed to add more mods. I don't think so because I'm new kinda (for 2 years) and I still feel like I don't really belong on the team because there's barely any communication. They only talk to me when they need to get their things done.
And I don't want to start a new subreddit because I like this sub I'm moderating very much. It's closely aligned with my personal interest and it's the only sub relating to it with huge activity so getting more members in a newer subreddit is not easy and I'm not up for it.
Also removing existing inactive mods is also a no no because the older mods, and the Top Mod all know each other and talk to each other. This gives me no "right" to remove them apparently. I can already imagine the troubles I'll go through if I ever do that.
Honestly I'm done. I do all the work. Replying to modmail, helping people out, approving posts, removing rule breakers and banning them when necessary. It feels so shit when I ban someone who broke the rules but then one of the "inactive mods" happen to spawn at that particular time and just unban them.
It makes me feel useless. Like, I thought I was doing something but even that is being taken away.
It's tiring. Like actually tiring because I'm the only active mod. I want to take more people in to help me but that's also not possible. It sucks how I'm doing the same thing alone for 2 years now. Alone might sound exaggerated, but if you exclude the part where some mods drop by to approve stuff once in a while, then it's basically just me and the sub. All by ourself.
I don't need a trophy for doing this. This is what mods usually do. I signed up for this but it's damn frustrating to see no one else do anything and the top mod barely cares since they are already moderating other subs. If that so, why not pass it to someone who is willing to do it instead?
They even recently added a new mod who is basically on every major subreddit I've ever seen. That person barely, and I mean, barely comes by. Of course they don't. They're moderating 30+ subs with a huge audience. The top mod brought them in and I still don't understand why? Like, you could have brought someone else who is more useful in, but you ended up choosing this person? Who is already busy as it is?
It's like they're doing the Pokémon thing and collecting big subs. I'm sorry but I genuinely feel that's all what they're doing.
This is mostly a rant post but I'm genuinely hoping there is a feature that does this. Making the most active moderator on THE SUB (not Reddit as a whole since a few of the mods does the same for other top subs) and this should be a cycle that lasts a whole year. Then again, the most active mod of the year becomes the top mod for another year. This may sound like a silly plan but it's better than nothing.
This is how I find peace with myself that this situation is never going to end until I leave that sub. But I really really love it there. It's so fun.
It's just sad how it's not going the way I wish it went in moderation.

Our HOA for our subdivision in North TX has changed the rules to state that we can not have food or drink 24" near the pool. This means that you can not even drink water while in the pool. This was never an issue in previous years. I would really like this to be reconsidered bcs I enjoy relaxing in the pool with my water bottle parked next to the pool. Our HOA president dislikes the pool and calls it a nuisance bcs there are local kids who jump the fence and trespass to swim. I can understand not eating in the pool. But making us get out to even drink water when temps reach 114 in the summer and the concrete becomes blistering hot. She monitors the security cameras and will come out to threaten to turn off your pool card for the remainder of the season. There was a family with a pregnant woman last year who had their pool card turned off for drinking water at the pool. This was done without notice. What recourse do I have? Could I go door to door to sign a petition to go back to the previous and more reasonable rules? Do I just show up at every meeting and bring It up? I don't appreciate being harassed at the pool that my dues pay for. Also if I could come up with a low cost solution to keep the kids from climbing the fence and using the pool that might help me plead my case. Although, I am not sure if there is one.

A cowboy rode into town early one morning. He reined in his buckskin, a five-year-old appropriately named Buck, and stopped in the shade of the first building to take a look around. He wasn't expecting trouble, but a man couldn't be too careful.
The dusty street was empty, save for a blue-tailed lizard that darted across to hide behind a barrel. He pushed his hat back and wiped the sweat from his brow. Then, he loosened his rifle in its holster to make sure it wouldn't stick if he had to draw quickly. He wasn't expecting trouble, but a man couldn't be too careful.
He clucked Buck on and rode slowly down the very center of the street, keeping an eye on every side. The boardwalk was empty, although a knife could be seen thrust into it, next to a stick mid-whittle, where someone presumably intended to return in the near future. A shutter creaked in the wind, but all the windows and doorways were empty. Other than the whistle of the wind, the cowboy heard no sound. He wasn't expecting trouble, but a man couldn't be too careful.
The cowboy had been riding for a few days, and had just crossed a barren patch of desert, so he was quite ready to enjoy a good drink. He rode up to the saloon, dismounted, and threw the reins in a wrap around the hitching post. The only sign of life was a horned toad that stared at him unblinking, but he thumbed the loop off his pistol, in case he had to draw it quickly. He wasn't expecting trouble, but a man couldn't be too careful.
He pushed open the batwing doors, pausing to let his eyes sweep the room for danger. He wasn't expecting trouble, and it seemed there wouldn't be any here; the saloon too was empty, with only the bartender inside.
He sauntered across to the bar. "Beer," he said in a pleasant baritone.
The bartender nodded and poured. "Looks like you've come a ways."
"It's been a might."
There was silence for a couple minutes while the cowboy nursed his drink. "Pretty quiet around here," he finally said.
"That's 'cause all the folks are out to watch the hangin'. I'd be there myself if I could."
Another couple minutes pass. "Who are they hangin'?"
"Scoundrel by name of Paper Pete."
"Funny name."
"Funny guy. He always goes around wearin' a brown paper hat, brown paper shirt, brown paper trousers, and brown paper shoes."
They let the silence fall again. The cowboy finally downed the last of his beer and stood up. "Ya know, I might just wander over and watch that hangin' myself. What are they hanging this Paper Pete for?"
"Rustlin."

We have been dating for about a year and together for three months. During time we get sexual he started off introducing to me his kink I personally didn't like it and my feelings still remain the same. He likes to slap my face spit on me and has often times described to me his fantasy of r someone even making me sit in a tub and pee on me to make me feel like trash basically. He has forced anal and oral He's used words like slt bich etc.. I know there are fetishes out there but I never felt comfortable with these sorts of things. He tries to convince me these were my ideas but I truly just want normal intimacy. I've expressed it and often felt him bored. I love him and am quite insecure and afraid to leave. Recently he had a woman move in and was there for 2 weeks where I didn't get to visit and he would come see me. He swares up and down it was just a friend who needed a place to stay. But during a brief period I needed a place and he didn't offer. Not to mention he helped her move. I moved all alone had to sleep on mt moms couch while im his gf. I have found myself drinking and crying in depression as i cant see why he wont just dump me Today was the worst for us and proved to me he doesn't care about me.. my car died leaving his house (i left because i gound a dildo that wasnt mine at his house) and when i valled him ouy he claimed it was old. and when I called him he didn't pick up I was about 5 min drive from him on a freeway exit and couldn't get a tow to help me due to it being electric and completely dead I had to wait until 7 am (this happened around 3 am) because they needed a tow with a special tool. I left my car on the side of the freeway I didn't wanna stay in there until 7. I have heard terrible stories of being stuff on an off ramp. I attempted to call him and no answer. I had to end up walking 1hr towards him with a friend on the phone because I was afraid of the area. Eventually I got tired of walking and hitched a ride(against my better jusgement) but I was afraid and it was so much faster in car. The guy offered me beer and cigarette for the stress but I didn't feel right so I refused the extra offers. I get to his house and he is staring blankly awoken from sleep. I explain the situation and lay on my side avoiding him. I just needed to rest until it was time to reattempt to get the tow truck. I was so tired I just slept with him until he awoke somewhat he then had me reexplain what happened because he was so tired he didn't comprehend what happened that night. I still was bummed he wasn't there for me and feel like this is an ongoing pattern of ignoring my calls. The point is if this is my partner he should have been there for me. In the morning when we awoke around 1030 I began chatting with aaa dispatch preparing to get my vehicle. They didn't understand why I wasnt at it and why there was no key that would work. I explained my phone is the key and the car is dead and my phone would have died as well and at a offramp... after going back and forth and finally getting them to understand the situation they agreed to come get me I waited until the time they agreed to get me and no call. I called dispatch again and they said I needed to be their this time my boyfriend got up angrily and said he would take me to it... I was trying to avoid him taking me. He screamed at me the whole way saying how do I not know where my car was but I knew the whole time and was explaining it's off a specific freeway on a specific exit... he couldn't figure how to.get to it and I was frantically trying to type it into his GPS. He told me how stupid I was for not putting in an address... but it's not an adress he was ready to drop me off and make me walk until we finally spotted the tow truck. He messaged me in apology on text but I feel like all the signs are clear I'm just already to leave

Hello, this is an account I use for my personal interests, but on main account, I moderate a sub that's relatively large and I feel so done with how things are done there.
The top mod is basically part of a lot of other subs, and even though the sub I'm in is just as huge and growing, they hardly come by. Even if they do, they just approve posts and leave once a month or in two months.
Most of the moderators are inactive. The number of active mods including me is just, maybe, two? Like two. That's a crazy number when you have like 10+ mods on the sub.
Even the other two active mods just barely come by to not end up as inactive on the sub.
I alone do the work. It's tiring. It's frustrating. One might say then "add more mods or quit and start a new subreddit or remove existing inactive mods" like it's easier said than done.
I'm not allowed to add more mods. I don't think so because I'm new kinda (for 2 years) and I still feel like I don't really belong on the team because there's barely any communication. They only talk to me when they need to get their things done.
And I don't want to start a new subreddit because I like this sub I'm moderating very much. It's closely aligned with my personal interest and it's the only sub relating to it with huge activity so getting more members in a newer subreddit is not easy and I'm not up for it.
Also removing existing inactive mods is also a no no because the older mods, and the Top Mod all know each other and talk to each other. This gives me no "right" to remove them apparently. I can already imagine the troubles I'll go through if I ever do that.
Honestly I'm done. I do all the work. Replying to modmail, helping people out, approving posts, removing rule breakers and banning them when necessary. It feels so bad when I ban someone who broke the rules but then one of the "inactive mods" happen to spawn at that particular time and just unban them.
It makes me feel useless. Like, I thought I was doing something but even that is being taken away.
It's tiring. Like actually tiring because I'm the only active mod. I want to take more people in to help me but that's also not possible. It sucks how I'm doing the same thing alone for 2 years now. Alone might sound exaggerated, but if you exclude the part where some mods drop by to approve stuff once in a while, then it's basically just me and the sub. All by ourself.
I don't need a trophy for doing this. This is what mods usually do. I signed up for this but it's damn frustrating to see no one else do anything and the top mod barely cares since they are already moderating other subs. If that so, why not pass it to someone who is willing to do it instead?
They even recently added a new mod who is basically on every major subreddit I've ever seen. That person barely, and I mean, barely comes by. Of course they don't. They're moderating 30+ subs with a huge audience. The top mod brought them in and I still don't understand why? Like, you could have brought someone else who is more useful in, but you ended up choosing this person? Who is already busy as it is?
It's like they're doing the Pokémon thing and collecting big subs. I'm sorry but I genuinely feel that's all what they're doing.
This is mostly a rant post but I'm genuinely hoping there is a feature that does this. Making the most active moderator on THE SUB (not Reddit as a whole since a few of the mods does the same for other top subs) and this should be a cycle that lasts a whole year. Then again, the most active mod of the year becomes the top mod for another year. This may sound like a silly plan but it's better than nothing.
This is how I find peace with myself that this situation is never going to end until I leave that sub. But I really really love it there. It's so fun.
It's just sad how it's not going the way I wish it went in moderation.

I’ll start by saying I live in Canada and over the last 3 months I’ve seen several doctors including dermatologists and still have no official diagnosis and after constantly being dismissed, I’m starting to feel alone and defeated.
My ‘journey’ started in the middle of February with some intense itching in my inner thighs with no visible rash. I saw my dermatologist two weeks later and she suspected scabies but since there was no rash she couldn’t confirm anything. For the next two weeks, I felt biting sensations in my private area and the itching continued so I went back to see her. By this time the itching had moved to my armpits as well. Again, no sign of an infestation or any rashes, so told me to try anti-itch creams. There was no improvement over the next month and by now I felt like something was crawling on my skin, so I went to a walk-in clinic. Doctor couldn’t see anything that would cause any of these symptoms. They thought it was jock itch but I insisted that we explore scabies, so she told me to try 5% permethrin cream. The pharmacist sold me one tube and so I went home, followed the directions on the box and went to sleep. Woke up the next morning, washed my sheets, clothing, took a shower and figured that’s all I needed. A few days later I noticed small rashes between two of my fingers and both armpits but thought nothing of it for a couple of weeks. The itching sort of subsided but the biting and crawling sensations continued so I went to a different pharmacy and was told that I should have applied permethrin again 7 days after the first application and since I didn’t, I should just apply it as soon as possible. I bought another tube and applied it the same way as the first time, right before bed. Again, woke up, threw my stuff in the wash, took a shower and went about my day. By now I was also vacuuming daily, wearing latex gloves, wiping surfaces down with Lysol wipes, changing bedding every morning and drying everything on high heat.
A few days go by and the rashes started fading but the everything else was still there so I went to a different dermatologist and she told me that it’s definitely not scabies and that my skin was just a little dry. I sort of didn’t believe her but also kind of felt relieved as for at least two months prior to seeing her, I stayed away from everyone and worked from home and wanted to get back to my life. And so I did.
Fast forward two weeks and I discovered about 15-20 itchy pimple-like bumps on my forearm. That was 4 days ago. These pictures are from today and I now have over a hundred itchy bumps that keep spreading up my arm and since I didn’t take any precautions over the past few days have a also spread onto my genitals. Plus, my neck has a crazy rash that started this morning and it’s so itchy.
I’m so confused and I’ve been sitting at home all day, reading through hundreds of different posts trying to figure out if I had scabies and now have post scabies or if I’ve been reinfested with scabies. I will add that I’ve consistently been taking oral antihistamines since February and started trying different things like clove and neem oils, as well as 10% sulfur ointment since April, but nothing has helped. I’ve also been sitting in a near infrared sauna for 30 minutes from December until about a month ago and am wondering if maybe that’s why I didn’t have any visible signs of scabies until a few weeks after I stopped.
Not sure if I’m looking for an answer or to simply tell my story, but I’m open to opinions and advice.

(Please read carefully, I took my time to detail this to help people understand what's going on. Thank you :))
So, a while back a had some mental issues going on which resulted in what Georgia usually uses the "1013" code for in which the cops arrived at the home and I went willingly with them to the hospital and as far as I know that makes it to where its classified as voluntary admittance. I was held in a hospital for 72 hours observation per the 1013 and during this I spoke to 2 different psychiatrists over a video call. (Both of whom I didn't like but was given little choice on the matter, around this time I was also in a bit in mental distress due to what was going on which made it difficult to answer their questions in a calm manner.) Aside from that I was transferred to a facility for a week in which they "Helped me" and I say that very loosely due to where I stand on those types of places in regard to my own childhood. I would like to note that I did sign a paper to change my status to voluntary while I was there and there was no criminal hearing or anything of the nature was involved with the situation however a big worry of mine while I was there was would it cause me to lose my 2nd amendment rights? (Stupid thing to have on mind in a hospital... yea probably but the anxiety over it didn't make it easy to dismiss) I was told by two different people there in short "no" one of them being a case worker and the other being the psychiatrist in that facility who was assigned to me. The psychiatrist went as far as telling "my record had been sealed" which is self-explanatory but also went as far as telling me to check "no" in regard to the question on a "firearms transaction record" document... question... "11f" if I remember correctly but anyone familiar with purchasing a firearm should know exactly which question I'm referring to on one of those forms.
I would also like to note that on the discharge records my access to firearms was left Soley at the discretion to parents for when they thought I was ready to have them again which seems... unorthodox however the document also stated I didn't have access to firearms, and I guess that's because my parents had taken precautions after my discharge to secure everything after all this. This was later changed as I now have free access to the firearms I legally purchased. (And as far as I know are still legal taking into consideration that my situation isn't exactly black and white)
With the story out of the way and the context in place it all boils down to one question. Can I buy and own a firearm? (Please include details in your response, the more the better)
