2024.06.02 11:09 Dyain_ I had a fight with my mom and I think it was the final nail in the coffin for our relationship
my moms been dating her boyfriend "J" for the past 2 years now, but I met him only once during the first year. I guess the root of this started when she began inviting him to things without asking. first time I remember this was for my birthday dinner last year. she had only asked me if it was ok at midnight the night before. (he's a farmer, planting season had just gotten done. he definitely wasn't awake.)
pretty much right after my birthday, she started going to his place every Friday for date nights.that quickly became every Friday Saturday and Sunday, sometimes more. it depended on the week but it was always those 3 days atleast. the only days I got her were a few week days where I had only 2 or 3 hours with her before she had to go to bed. God forbid I wanted to do somthing with her. it was always about how much she hated whatever I suggested or it wouldn't be worth it cuz we'd have to drive to the city and have water it was close in an hour. and then she would refuse to take time of to give us more time to do stuff. but she's always complaining about having to much pto time saved and she always jumps to use it to be with J more.
even the times I do have her she always manages to bring him up and text him like 50 times. if it's some event mom makes a big speech about how much he wanted to be there. people at my school have started to think he's my dad and it makes me want to puke. honestly, she can't go without him for 10 minutes but it's fine to leave me alone for 10 hours without checking in!
but anyways there's been a couple times she actually managed to be home when I've cried about this and she's tying so hard to get me to tell her what's wrong. (she has a habit of asking what's wrong then lashing out if it's about her or making me feel worse if it's about something else so I've learned to just shut up till she leaves.)
today, I already had to plan around her and her Js hangouts to do a celebratory dinner for me finishing juiner year and we had to bring my aunt because I want to go to an Indian place and I don't know a lot about it yet but my aunt does. so she'd essentially be our baby sitter. mom confidently told me that yesterday at lunch sounded like a good time for it so I thought she had texted my aunt and they had figured out a time together before i did. turns out, NOPE! she had ment that she had confirmed with J that it was a good time for it (mind you I never told her to invite him) and she never texted my aunt because she thought I was doing it. so because of that my aunt couldn't make it and we had to cancel.
my mom kept trying to convince me to just go with them and it would be okay but I'm not comfortable around him! I never was! she just assumed that since we got along once or twice that he can come along to everything without asking me. so I didn't want to go to the Indian place with just them, especially since I know if food involved I'll just be third wheeling them the whole time (it's happend before). after thst I was distant and that's when she kept prying for me to open up to her about what's wrong.
I tried. I tried so hard to word it in the nicest way possible. so that she could take the lest offense and actually listen to me.
"I feel like you spend to much time with him" "it feels like you always bring him up when you are around" "I feel like a burden around you"
you wanna know what she said back to me
"first of all, your stupid for thinking your a burden. and second I am allowed to have a boyfriend." "if you can invite other people [my other FAMILY member] then J can be there." "he's in my life and that means he's in yours" "I am not gone that much you are lying"
by the end of everything she was yelling and cussing at me about every little thing I've ever done wrong while I was just sitting there crying.
at one point, she told me "it my problem you dont have any friends to go be with when im not hand holding you." that hurt so much, she knows how hard it's been the last few years for me to connect to people. she knows I've tried so hard to be on better terms with people at my school. she knows what happened to my "friend" I thought I had this year. and she still said that. no, correction, she YELLED that.after all of that, she then went to go stay at Js place for the night.
and now, she's just trying to pretend nothing happend. asked me to go with her and J to a surprise part and got prissy when I said I didn't want to and because I was still distant today. turns out she wasn't bothered by anything that happened just hours after our fight. I know this cuz my brother (moved out cuz he got sick of her antics) had a 20 minute call with her were she was all cheery and joyful. mind you st this time I was crying to myself in my room.
there's so many thing outside of this too that's happened this year. but if I wrote it down it'd be a 300 page book. if someone curious about other events that have happened or for more details just ask.
I need to get out of here the second I turn 18 or I swear I'll go crazy in the empty house. thanks if anyone actually read this word vomit of a reddit post.

2024.06.02 11:09 SnooWalruses7872 A hypothetical story about what happens to a competitor pharmacy when a Rite Aid shuts down next to them. While this is fictional, it could happen to any one of us.
I used to love my job. As a pharmacist at an Albertsons store, I had it all. A manageable workload, great pay at $75 an hour, and the satisfaction of knowing I was making a difference in my community. I filled about 50 to 60 prescriptions a day, enough to keep me busy but not overwhelmed. Life was good. It was, at least, until Rite Aid declared bankruptcy.
The first sign of trouble was the influx of new faces. The Rite Aid next to our store closed down, and suddenly, we were flooded with their former customers. The district manager, always an optimist, assured us it would be a “great opportunity” for growth. But he offered no additional help, no extra staff to handle the surge. We were on our own.
As flu season loomed and the new Covid-19 booster shots rolled out, my once manageable workload grew into a monstrous beast. The prescription counts doubled, then tripled. I was working long hours, often skipping breaks just to keep up. The stress was suffocating, an ever-tightening noose around my neck.
Mistakes started creeping in, like shadows in the periphery of my vision. It was small things at first—misfiled paperwork, incorrect dosages, a missed refill. But each error chipped away at my confidence, gnawing at my sanity.
Then came the day that would forever haunt me. It was a particularly chaotic afternoon, the waiting area packed with impatient customers. I was juggling flu shots, Covid-19 boosters, and an endless stream of prescriptions. Amid the chaos, I filled a prescription for diazepam 10 mg. The patient’s name was familiar, a common one, but I didn’t think much of it. I was too overwhelmed to notice the details.
A few hours later, I received the call. A two-year-old boy had been rushed to the ER. His parents were frantic; he had taken a dose meant for an adult—diazepam 10 mg. The same name and birth date as another patient. My heart dropped into my stomach as the realization hit me like a freight train. I had made a fatal mistake.
The days that followed were a blur of legal action and investigations. The Board of Pharmacy launched a full-scale inquiry, dissecting every aspect of my work. Lawyers hounded me, and the media painted me as a careless monster. My every waking moment was consumed by guilt and fear. Sleep became a distant memory, replaced by endless nights of torment.
I became a pariah in my community. Friends turned their backs, and even my colleagues distanced themselves. The once warm and inviting pharmacy now felt like a cold, sterile prison. The whispers, the accusing glares—they were inescapable.
The district manager, the one who had promised us growth and opportunity, was nowhere to be found. He had washed his hands of the situation, leaving me to bear the brunt of the fallout. My life was unraveling, a tapestry of despair and regret.
One night, as I sat alone in the pharmacy, the fluorescent lights flickering overhead, I heard a whisper. At first, I thought it was my mind playing tricks on me, a product of my frayed nerves. But the whispers grew louder, more insistent. They seemed to emanate from the shadows, curling around the edges of my vision.
“You killed him,” the voice hissed. “You took an innocent life.”
I spun around, but there was no one there. The pharmacy was empty, save for the lingering ghosts of my mistakes. The whispers continued, a chorus of condemnation and sorrow. I tried to shut them out, to focus on my work, but they were relentless.
As the nights wore on, the whispers grew more distinct, more personal. They recounted every mistake, every moment of doubt and fear. They knew my deepest secrets, my darkest regrets. I was haunted, not by the spirit of the child I had wronged, but by my own conscience, twisted and corrupted by guilt.
I couldn’t escape the voices. They followed me home, invading my dreams, turning them into nightmarish landscapes of despair. The pharmacy, once a place of healing, had become a portal to my own personal hell.
I don’t know how much longer I can endure this torment. The weight of my mistake is a burden I can never shed. The whispers, they never stop. They are a constant reminder of the life I took, the family I destroyed.
Maybe one day, the whispers will drive me to madness. Perhaps that’s my penance, my eternal punishment for the sin I committed. Until then, I am trapped in this purgatory, a prisoner of my own making, haunted by the shadows of the past.

Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes on Me, though he dies, yet shall he live. And whoever lives and believes on Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:25-26)
And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas, and brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" And they said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved." (Acts 16:29-31)
Jesus said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my Word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life. He does not come into condemnation, but is passed from death to life." (John 5:24)
For I am not ashamed of The Gospel of Christ: it is the power of God for salvation to every one who believes; to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "He who by faith is righteous will live." (Romans 1:16-17)
Jesus said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever who believes on Me has eternal life." (John 6:47)
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and not of your own doings; salvation is the gift of God—not of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
I write these things to you who have believed on the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life. (1 John 5:13)
Therefore we hold that a man is justified by faith alone, without the works of the Law. (Romans 3:28)
Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through Our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:1)
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. (John 20:30-31)
Jesus said, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace." (Luke 7:50)
For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord! (Romans 8:38-39)
2024.06.02 10:59 Beginning-Eagle-8932 [maybe ASB] Why the Seven Months War between Indonesia and the Philippines was the most Ace Combat-like war ever.
Mostly based upon this: https://www.reddit.com/acecombat/comments/islc7v/the_100_hour_war_between_el_salvador_and_honduras/
1: The war started for a stupid reason, but it was more complex than that.
The Seven Months War has another which people also know it as: the "Second Football War" or the "Second Soccer War". While tensions between Indonesia and the Philippines had been escalating for years, basically because of Indonesian migrant workers and families being blamed by the right-wing government as scapegoats for some of the country's problems, which resulted in Indonesians being discriminated more and more as the years passed by. The real problem was in fact how Russia manipulated the election to let President Fernando win. In turn, his party founded the Philippine Center for Fundamental Rights, which was anti-working class, anti-immigration, and anti-Muslim. This organization put pressure on the Filipino Government to "protect their nation". By 2025, Indonesian immigrants were being removed from their land, regardless of how they acquired it, their immigration status, or even whether they were married to a Filipino or not. Many Indonesians were being expelled from the Philippines by force. To say Filipinos and Indonesians didn't like each other was a big understatement.
In 2027, a Filipino football club from Manila and an Indonesian one from Jakarta were both in a two-round qualifying match for the 2027-28 edition of the AFC Champions League Elite. The first game was held in Manila, and the Indonesians were met with violence, a fight between fans erupted in the streets (quickly turning into a riot), and Filipinos were gathered all night at the hotel where the Jakarta team was staying to make noise and keep them up all night. Manila won and Jakarta lost 1-0. An 18 year old Indonesian girl named Aisyah Samudra couldn't take this and killed herself. Her funeral was used in Indonesia to bolster national sentiment, hundreds gathered in the streets to say their final goodbyes as her coffin was transported down the streets of Jakarta like she was a national hero.
The second game took place in Jakarta, and Filipinos were met with violence, Indonesians stayed around the hotel where the Manila team was staying to make noise all night long, some flagpoles at the stadium had dirty rags instead of the Filipino flag, Jakarta won, and Manila lost 2-1. The coach from Manila, while he and his team were on the way to the airport inside an APC (because it was too unsafe for them to simply go in a regular bus), was recorded as saying to his players "It's a good thing that we lost."
Over 20000 Indonesian immigrants were forced out of the Philippines, many not by the Government, but by Filipinos that burned down their houses, their businesses, and even killed some of their family members. A similar scenario occured in Indonesia, where 10000 Filipinos were displaced. The AFC demanded a third game in neutral ground (Singapore), and it is said that, on the day that game happened, Indonesia and the Philippines cut all ties and closed all diplomatic channels with each other. Manila won that third game and Jakarta lost 3-2 during overtime, and Manila was qualified for the 2027-28 ACL Elite group stage.
All of Indonesia was placed into lockdown as the Indonesian Air Force began their attack as well. The Indonesian Air Force didn't have any dedicated bombers, so they mostly used C-130 cargo planes with bombs in their cargo bays. The Indonesian Air Force used Rafales and Su-27 Flankers as escorts for the bombers, wile also using F-16 Vipers and Su-30 Flankers to deal with ground targets. A long-range strike into Villamor Air Base in Pasay City, which was part of the Mega Manila area, caught the Filipinos by surprise.
So the first mission is a surprise bombing raid, typical for an Ace Combat game.
There's the second mission: Destroying an oil rig, or some base filled with fuel tanks.
The most well-trained troops in the Filipino military were the ones tasked with protecting Manila, so they were not at the front lines with the counteroffensive. The Philippine Air Force and the Philippine Navy managed to stuff them all onto ships and transport/cargo planes, and sent them to the front lines to reinforce the front in preparation for the counteroffensive.
Third mission: Escort duty, defend some plane or ships and help them transport some Army unit.
That's right, the Indonesian Air Force was getting owned in the sky after their initial success by just one fighter pilot: Captain John "Sparrow" Hernandez. There's your protagonist/player character with a Red Baron nickname right there.
So, there you go: Both sides have (mostly) the same planes and both sides have distinct paint schemes on their planes.
One such pilot was Major Anatoly Fyodorov, a Russian mercenary fighter pilot who was fresh off the Essequibo War, who used the Su-30 as his plane of choice.
So here we have the big scary opponent Ace with a backstory who flies Russian aircraft.
So the Philippines won, the war ended, and the peace treaty was agreed upon, but the whole "wars happen because countries exist" view still remains.
Oh, and don't forget the evil Russia and is leader, Vladimir Putin being the evil mastermind in the background.
A few months after the war, Captain Hernandez's F-16 is in display on a museum in Manila, kept there as a monument of sorts. So there you have the end credits scene honoring the memory of the lone pilot protagonist.
Most of everything was there, all that was left is the obligatory enemy superweapon. (And the once-a-game tunnel run.)
Sorry if i offended anyone here.

- Military actions were done in unusual ways by the Indonesian Air Force.
All of Indonesia was placed into lockdown as the Indonesian Air Force began their attack as well. The Indonesian Air Force didn't have any dedicated bombers, so they mostly used C-130 cargo planes with bombs in their cargo bays. The Indonesian Air Force used Rafales and Su-27 Flankers as escorts for the bombers, wile also using F-16 Vipers and Su-30 Flankers to deal with ground targets. A long-range strike into Villamor Air Base in Pasay City, which was part of the Mega Manila area, caught the Filipinos by surprise.
So the first mission is a surprise bombing raid, typical for an Ace Combat game.
- While the Philippine Army and Navy didn't really stop the Indonesian offensive, the Philippine Air Force did.
There's the second mission: Destroying an oil rig, or some base filled with fuel tanks.
The most well-trained troops in the Filipino military were the ones tasked with protecting Manila, so they were not at the front lines with the counteroffensive. The Philippine Air Force and the Philippine Navy managed to stuff them all onto ships and transport/cargo planes, and sent them to the front lines to reinforce the front in preparation for the counteroffensive.
Third mission: Escort duty, defend some plane or ships and help them transport some Army unit.
- Most fighters in the Indonesian Air Force who got shot shot down in a dogfight with Philippine Air Force were downed by the same pilot, who was accountable for more than 50% of Filipino air-to-air kills.
That's right, the Indonesian Air Force was getting owned in the sky after their initial success by just one fighter pilot: Captain John "Sparrow" Hernandez. There's your protagonist/player character with a Red Baron nickname right there.
- Both sides had basically the same planes, but one side had this neat camo pattern that clearly set them aside.
So, there you go: Both sides have (mostly) the same planes and both sides have distinct paint schemes on their planes.
- In desperation from the Filipino counteroffensive, Indonesia began buying plane parts (and sometimes planes themselves) from anywhere they could and began to hire mercenary pilots to fly them.
One such pilot was Major Anatoly Fyodorov, a Russian mercenary fighter pilot who was fresh off the Essequibo War, who used the Su-30 as his plane of choice.
So here we have the big scary opponent Ace with a backstory who flies Russian aircraft.
- The war ended after just seven months (hence the name), after the counteroffensive succeeded in retaking all of Mindanao. And nothing really changed afterward.
So the Philippines won, the war ended, and the peace treaty was agreed upon, but the whole "wars happen because countries exist" view still remains.
Oh, and don't forget the evil Russia and is leader, Vladimir Putin being the evil mastermind in the background.
A few months after the war, Captain Hernandez's F-16 is in display on a museum in Manila, kept there as a monument of sorts. So there you have the end credits scene honoring the memory of the lone pilot protagonist.
Most of everything was there, all that was left is the obligatory enemy superweapon. (And the once-a-game tunnel run.)
Sorry if i offended anyone here.
2024.06.02 10:57 ThrowRA9therapy Moving away from temptation, 1300 miles away.
I (34M) caught my wife Clair(33F) cheating at her AP's house when she was supposedly out on a girls' night out a couple of months ago. She confessed everything and let me go through her phone to prove it, they had only had sex once and I caught them as they were spending their second night together. We have two young children and she pleaded for a second chance. I said we would get some therapy and try and work through this. While I had her phone I synced it to our iPad to read through her messages.
Besides confirming her infidelity story, I found out three of her friends knew and had encouraged her to cheat. Betty (33F), who Claire went to high school with, was also having an affair and I sent some damning copies of their texts to her husband. I told Claire I was uncomfortable with her hanging out with them given their history and that they were still trying to sow discontent and drive a wedge between me and Claire.
Since then Claire has been on her best behavior and has cut way back on her contact with her friends until a couple of weeks ago, when she told me Tammy's birthday was coming up and they all wanted to go out and celebrate. I said I wasn't comfortable with her going out with them but if she wanted to go I would go with her. She felt that was a bad idea given my history with them and after talking it out she decided not to go. The next day I got a call from Tammy telling me what a controlling POS I was for micromanaging Claire's life. Claire didn't attend the celebration and gave me the silent treatment for a few days.
So I had a conversation with my boss, they have been after me for a few years to move up into a bigger role in the company, and I told him I was ready to step up and we discussed my options. I had a couple of choices and went with the office in New Mexico. My wife was born and raised in Chicago when I told her we were moving to New Mexico she threw a fit. All her friends and family live in or around Chicago and except for vacations she had never been outside the state. I mentioned Tammy's birthday and how I got frozen out when she didn't go to the party and said I was tired of them affecting our relationship even after I expressed concern about her staying in contact with them after they encouraged her to cheat on me.
Claire has barely spoken to me, she cried the other day when the realtor put the sign up in front of the house. I have a realtor in Santa Fe looking for a few houses for me to look at when I go out to the office there next week. My Chicago realtor already has three people ready to make an offer and says we should have a contract next week. I spent Saturday bringing stuff down from the attic and getting it packed up. I would love to get moved before the 4th of July but that may be pushing it.
In the long run, getting my wife away from her toxic friends will give us a better chance to repair our marriage. I hope it gives us a fresh start free from some of the drama we have had to deal with.
Note; My Mom talked me into drawing up a prenup before we got married, so the house and some other assets I inherited are protected just in case. I make almost twice what she makes now and after the move, I will make at least three times what she does now. The community I am looking at has a population of about 3000 which will be a culture shock as well, but we are only 30 minutes away from Santa Fe.

2024.06.02 10:52 Apprehensive_Sir1686 Spiritual attacks when increasing in love and prayerfulness?
Why is this the theme of my life? Close to God, feeling love, feeling healed, giving love, providing empathy being forgiving, then out of no where as you are ascending someone you feel good towards flips on you out of no where. Attacks you in their ego, gets angry all of a sudden leaving you confused. I know in a few days they’ll apologise but this always happens as I’m improving as a person.
It could be as much as an hour of contemplation and conversation with my creator and feeling internal peace, wanting to be a better partner etc, then suddenly I’ll get a phone call that will become verbally abusive from someone I love? I don’t believe in coincidences.
In Christianity this would be a sign you’re getting close to God and the devil is threatened you aren’t his, but why would this occurrence happen if you are a spiritual person, or does this/should this not happen to you? If you attract where you’re at energetically, why is it at my peak energetically I’m attracting chaos and abuse?
I’m telling you like clockwork this occurs.

2024.06.02 10:52 Good-Layer-3661 what made you completely stop being jw ?
I’ve been inactive for a while since the pandemic really.. there’s so many changes lately. I really only go for assembly and it’s partially because my family invites me. My best friend is jw and she’s kinda accepted I won’t go back even thought she tries to encourage me at times. Every time I do go, people sometimes say hi. Other times, people I was really close to pre pandemic don’t talk to me or pretend I don’t exist. I don’t really mind it, I get anxious being there tbh… but I think i’m mainly feeling judged. Sometimes I truly do want to go back because I was raised in it & I haven’t really felt happy since I left… but I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I’m not really living because in the back of my head I’ve restricted myself from becoming who I want to be because I’m scared of what jws will say. I’m conflicted. On one hand I’m scared to go back & it not be what I truly want & then get DF & never speak to anyone again… or I stop completely & live my life & one day regret not having gone back? I feel like I’m living in limbo. One foot in and one foot out. I can’t even date peacefully because “you can’t marry a non jw is always in the back of my head”. I feel like I can’t connect with anyone and if I do, I’m scared to seriously date them. I’m only getting older & the longer I live like this the worse I’m making it for me. Is there anyone who has been in my situation? What made you stay? What made you go back? What made you see it wasn’t for you? & if you did leave what were some changes you made to yourself? How is your life now ? How do you get over the guilt or just stop caring?

This sleek device, measuring 47mm in width, 28mm in depth, and 103mm in height, is a simple yet effective solution for safeguarding my components.

It has the capability to withstand a 200A surge current and easily attaches to existing equipment. This telephone line surge protector also includes EMI/RFI noise rejection filtering, which makes it even more impressive. Despite its many advantages, there were a few drawbacks. I discovered that some customers have encountered confusion regarding the connectivity options, as the APC ProtectNet only connects via RJ-45. I personally found it to be an excellent investment for my home, but others have expressed frustration with the limited product information and compatibility on the manufacturer's website. In conclusion, the APC ProtectNet has been a trustworthy companion in protecting my device from potential damage caused by power surges. Its sleek design and advanced features allow for a seamless integration into my existing setup, while its few drawbacks are minor compared to its overall effectiveness. 🔗APC SurgeArrest 3-Phase Surge Suppressor with Surge Counterhttps://preview.redd.it/8jtexvwqg44d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=976815456d27d956ec067856d0d5ef8aeb947aaf Apologize to the tech gods, the SurgerArrest 3-Phase Surge Suppressor from APC is here to save our sensitive electronics. I've been using it daily for a couple of weeks, and I must say, this is one heck of a device. One of the first things I noticed was the Protection Working Indicator. It's a small, reassuring light that keeps me calm knowing my data is being well-protected against all those invisible electric dangers lurking around the corner. This device has made me more aware of the potential risks my electronics face on a daily basis. Just think how many devices in our daily lives could use a product like this!

It's like an invisible knight in digital armor, silently standing guard over my data, ready for action whenever needed. However, it's also the features I can't see that got me excited. For example, the APC SurgeArrest 3-Phase has a NEMA 312 enclosure, which means it's designed to withstand harsh industrial environments. And don't forget the Thermal Overload Protection. It's like having a built-in thermal safety valve that releases heat build-up before it can cause a damaging fire. My use of this product has definitely made me more aware of the importance of proper electrical surge protection in our sensitive data-driven world, and the SurgerArrest 3-Phase Surge Suppressor has been the unsung hero among my daily gadgets. 🔗APC SurgeArrest 3-Phase Surge Suppressor with Protection Indicator and Replaceable Moduleshttps://preview.redd.it/9sglnjbrg44d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ed1e0f3f4da0e2f845634b53cd91aff31d76be92 I recently tried using the SurgeArrest from APC as part of my daily routine, and I must say it's been a game-changer.

The thermal overload protection has been a lifesaver—it's like this little hero that steps in when my MOVs need help, saving my equipment from untimely damage. But there's one standout feature that has impressed me the most: the Protection Working Indicator. There's just something reassuring about knowing exactly what the SurgeArrest is up to, and being able to remotely monitor its TVSS alarm status. It's like having my own surveillance system for my electronics! The only thing that gave me a bit of a jolt was the Audible failure alarm, which seemed a little alarming at first. But once I understood it served as an indication of a damaged surge suppressor, it became part of my new routine. It's a small price to pay for peace of mind, wouldn't you agree? Lastly, I was ecstatic to realize that the SurgeArrest was designed with energy conservation in mind, saving me a few bucks in the long run. All in all, it's been a fulfilling experience using the APC SurgeArrest, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. 🔗Amazboost Indoor Cell Phone Signal Booster: Enhance Signal & Boost Data Speeds for US Carriershttps://preview.redd.it/tlkpkarrg44d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f5d4e9c4ba64b54c2d808de09bbf7443651e104 I recently tried the Amazboost Indoor A2 Cell Phone Signal Booster, and I must say, it's been a game-changer at home.

The range is impressive too – the booster can effectively cover up to 5,000 square feet with a strong outside signal. However, setting it up was a bit challenging, but once I got it going, it worked flawlessly. Overall, the Amazboost Indoor A2 Cell Phone Signal Booster has been a valuable addition to my home, providing a solid cellular connection and reliable data speeds. 🔗Ubiquiti IS-M5-US: Interchangeable Antenna, IsoStation Wireless Bridge with Improved Noise Immunityhttps://preview.redd.it/axbzme2sg44d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6b230446349699daef80d791fe4463d994397d54 I recently used the Ubiquiti IS-M5-US 5 GHz IsoStation Airmax, a pole-mountable wireless access point that offers excellent performance and precision. The key feature I loved is the interchangeable horn antennas, which allowed for easy customization and enhanced beam shaping. Changing the antennas was as simple as pressing a single button, and the all-metal construction provided durability. One downside was that it only had one Ethernet port, which can be limiting if you need to connect multiple devices. However, the overall experience was impressive, with high speeds and reliable connectivity. The IsoStation Airmax is definitely worth considering if you're looking for optimal wireless performance. 🔗Eaton SS-56 Surge Suppressor: High-Quality AEM5 Protection for 0-4 A200 Startershttps://preview.redd.it/4zbb00gsg44d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c432595d58699fcb7d2d974f895a858d090faff As a homeowner who's experienced a few power surges and electrical issues, I found the Eaton SS-56 Surge Suppressor to be a lifesaver. It's a reliable and efficient device, designed to protect your electrical appliances and gadgets from damage. I particularly appreciated its compact size, which allowed me to install it easily without taking up too much space. The 0-4 A200 starter compatibility and 120V input voltage made it perfect for my needs. However, I did notice that the manual could be more user-friendly, as it took me some time to fully understand how to set it up. Otherwise, this surge suppressor has been a reliable addition to my home's electrical safety system. It's not just a tool - it's peace of mind. 🔗APC Aem5 Surge Protector with Fax/Modem/Phone Dataline Protectionhttps://preview.redd.it/z6kgqposg44d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e8a30c11948e5edd83f0af5225e0cceeb6bfa66 I had the chance to test out the APC SuregeArrest Notebook Surge Suppressor, and I must say, it's a game-changer for protecting your valuable electronics. The compact design made it a breeze to carry around with my laptop and connected devices, offering a sense of security wherever I traveled. One of the features that stood out was its versatile connectivity options. Not only did it include telephone cables, but it also came equipped with a network patch cable, ensuring that all my devices could make the most of the surge protection. The included cord management straps kept everything neat and tangle-free, giving me a tidy setup. The surge suppression capabilities were top-notch, thanks to the Catastrophic Event Protection and the Let Through Voltage Rating of under 900V. With industry-standard certifications from CSA FCC Part 68 NOM and UL 1449, I felt assured that my devices were in good hands. The status indicator was another highlight, as it allowed me to quickly check the surge protection status, giving me peace of mind that my valuable tech was always safe from power surges. All in all, the APC SuregeArrest Notebook Surge Suppressor proved to be a reliable and effective solution for safeguarding my electronic devices on the go. 🔗APC SurgeArrest 2PH + g - Robust Surge Suppressor with Protection Indicators and Manual Disconnecthttps://preview.redd.it/xa2s6t1tg44d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a803b72938d9fdf35b17120763c5fd4b5134138c The APC SurgeArrest surge suppressor has been my trusty sidekick for months now. In all my daily interactions with appliances and electronics, it has been the unsung hero, diligently guarding them from potential power surges and spikes. The lightweight surge protectors are designed to work without fail and that's precisely what they've done. They've got these handy individual phase modules that, when needed, can be replaced without having to unplug a bunch of devices. The whole process literally takes minutes and it's a feature I've grown to appreciate greatly. But what's really impressive is the surge counter feature. It logs the number of power surges the unit is exposed to and honestly, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. It feels like a little radar that's been tucked away somewhere, unobtrusively tracking incoming power surges like a digital sentinel. Then there's this incredible feature, the audible failure alarm. It's almost like having your own personal security guard. If the surge protector takes a hit, it emits a loud alarm. It's a real life saver because let's face it, I've been known to forget about the surge protector and just leave it in the background. But not anymore, because this alarm literally ensures it's on the top of my mind. It's also interesting to note the NEMA 3R / 12 enclosure. It's specifically designed to meet the requirements of both indoor and outdoor applications, which is quite handy because it means the surge protector can work in any environment without any issues. But of course, there's the downside. The manual disconnect switch is a useful feature, but it means that sometimes, when I need to temporarily unplug something, I have to remember to manually press the switch. It's like the surge protector is asking me for permission before I can unplug it, which can be a bit of a hassle at times. There's also the alarm contacts, which, while useful for monitoring, can also be a bit overwhelming at times. It's like being constantly tied to the surge protector, even when I don't necessarily need to be. Overall though, the APC SurgeArrest surge suppressor is a reliable device that has helped me keep my appliances and electronics safe from the potential dangers of power surges and spikes. It's not perfect, but it sure is worth having on your side in this digital age where we heavily rely on electronics. 🔗Phoenix Contact 2905415 Surge Protector for Power Supply Networkshttps://preview.redd.it/hir8lhftg44d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d8bc5c723f09b567091ab81118243054f6159aea Imagine using a lightning arrester in your daily life, like the Phoenix Contact 2905415 Surge Suppressor. In my experience, it made my power supply network much safer. One of the best features was the mechanical coding of the base element and plug, which prevented incorrect assembly. I also found the labelling option for the protective plug and terminals on the base element extremely useful. Plus, having two biconnect terminals each for N and PE made connecting round conductors and wiring bridges easier than ever. However, there were a couple of downsides. The device was a bit large at 95.2 x 71.2 x 74.5mm, making it less convenient for smaller spaces. Also, the surge suppressor could get quite hot with a maximum operating temperature of +80°C. Overall, the Phoenix Contact 2905415 Surge Suppressor is a reliable choice for protecting your power supply network from lightning currents, as long as you've got the space for it and can handle the heat. 🔗Ubiquiti PrismStation 5AC Wireless Bridge for Enhanced RF Signal Performancehttps://preview.redd.it/3mqktwutg44d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f53c87c4d9efcf3195540765bf856b1f727a6c30 I recently tried out the Ubiquiti PrismStation AC PS-5AC, a 5GHz 14dBi CPE with a removable horn antenna, and I must say it's a game-changer for wireless connections. The focus on directing RF energy in a tighter beamwidth and filtering noise has significantly improved my network's performance and stability. One of my favorite features is the flexibility in sectorization for optional antenna beamwidths, making it suitable for various deployment environments. The interchangeable horn antenna also enhances beam-shaping, ensuring the best coverage for my area. However, one downside I encountered was the potential need for additional accessories, like the Aem5 Suppressor, for some specific deployment situations. Overall, I'm happy with the improvement in noise immunity and impressed with the Ubiquiti PrismStation AC's performance thus far. 🔗High-Voltage Surge Protector for Large Electrical Systemshttps://preview.redd.it/0wwd4m6ug44d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=719d160358907b92e5ea129d550e565c0e75dd2b I've been using the ABB RT5/32 Surge Suppressor for a while now, and let me tell you, it's made a world of difference in my work area. This 12-32V DC operated device protects against power surges that could potentially fry any sensitive electronics. It's designed to work with various contactors, like AL, AE, TAL, and TAE models. One of the best features is how it seamlessly blends into the background. Its sleek, compact design keeps it unobtrusive whilst offering top-notch protection. However, one thing I'd change is the minimum order quantity - it's a bit high for personal use. Overall, the ABB RT5/32 Surge Suppressor has proven to be a reliable and protective addition to my setup. It's a small investment with big payoffs.

2024.06.02 10:36 objet_darte Anyone seen The Blackout?
I watched The Blackout with Matthew Modine last night and it made me queasy. It's a film you can smell. I've never blacked out, but the way I used to drink it was only a matter of time. They're living in this moneyed, Hollywood environment but it's not a glamorous film.
My next door neighbour drinks. I see her often going in her house with a litre of vodka, a litre of coke and no friends. She fell over a couple of weeks ago and she's bruised all up her left side. She has a black eye.
I'm just coming to terms with having a drinking problem. Five weeks ago I was signed off work due to stress. I spent the entire first week drunk, alone in my flat, watching Netflix. Then I stopped. I haven't been drunk for three weeks now. I never thought I had a problem, I just liked a drink. But I do. Who would spend a week drunk, alone in their flat? Except an alcoholic?
I don't know what I'm trying to say here, except I feel like scum. I live in the UK and drinking is so big here. I'm going to lose people if I stop drinking, but if I don't stop drinking I'm going to lose me.
In a couple of weeks' time, I'm supposed to be meeting two of my oldest friends in London for a weekend celebrating one of their birthdays. I'm closer to one of them, and I know she'll be cool with me not drinking. The other one...she has a drinking problem herself, she refills your glass, she says "come on, just have one" she opens the prosecco at midday. If I tell her I'm not drinking it will be a problem. She'll make it a problem. I'll ruin her good time, and I know it. But I also know that if I bail on my cool friends birthday, I'll really upset her. I don't know what to do.

2024.06.02 10:24 Papa_Hasbro69 To all magic players. Beware of LGSes that appear on the route stretches of the California Route 66. It is too late for me but let this be a warning to the rest of you.
 | My first visit to The VML was nothing short of magical. I had come across it while driving home from a trip, the bright, inviting sign a beacon in the desolate landscape. The shop was dimly lit, with shelves crammed full of games and memorabilia. The air was thick with the smell of old paper and the faint scent of something musty, but it only added to the charm. The shop owner, an outspoken transwoman named Ms. Hargrove, welcomed me with a warm smile. Her eyes twinkled behind her round spectacles, and her voice had a soothing, almost hypnotic quality. The VML prided itself on being an inclusive space, reaching out to members of marginalized genders and offering two spots to the Magic Pro Tour each year. This commitment to diversity was one of the reasons I felt so drawn to the shop. It seemed like a welcoming community where everyone could feel safe and valued. I quickly became a regular at The VML. The other players were friendly, and we bonded over our shared love for the game. There was Carl, a burly man with a deep laugh, and Jane, a quiet woman with an impressive collection of rare cards. Our games were intense, filled with laughter and groans of defeat. It felt like I had found a second family. We often played draft and commander formats, our favorite styles of play. Draft nights were especially exciting, with the tension of opening booster packs and crafting the perfect deck. Commander games, on the other hand, were epic battles that could last for hours, with alliances forming and breaking as we vied for dominance. It was the highlight of my week. The shop had its quirks. Everyone wore pronoun pins, a small but meaningful gesture that fostered a sense of inclusion and respect. Ms. Hargrove was particularly passionate about the Universes Beyond cards and always made sure they were featured prominently. She also had a special fondness for the Gay Pride Bearsape card, which she claimed brought good luck. Despite its welcoming atmosphere, The VML had its dislikes. Ms. Hargrove and the regulars despised the subreddit freemagic with a passion. They saw it as a toxic community that went against everything the shop stood for. I didn’t pay much attention to it at first; I was just happy to have found a place where I belonged. The players at The VML always urged me to spend more time at the shop. They seemed genuinely thrilled whenever I walked through the door, their enthusiasm infectious. But the longer I stayed, the more I noticed subtle changes in myself. One evening, after a particularly thrilling commander match, Ms. Hargrove approached me with a small, velvet-lined box. Inside was a set of Arabian Nights cards, pristine and untouched. She said it was a gift, a token of appreciation for being such a loyal customer. I was ecstatic. Arabian Nights was one of the most coveted sets, and having it in my collection felt like a dream come true. But from that moment, things began to change. It started subtly. I noticed a strange sensation in my fingers whenever I touched the cards, a tingling that soon turned into a dull ache. My skin grew pale, almost translucent, and I felt an odd sense of detachment from my own body. My pulse, once steady and strong, began to slow, a faint throb beneath my skin. The players at the shop began to make offhand comments and jokes about transitioning, often sharing stories about how good HRT was. They even offered me pills, insisting they would help me feel better and more in tune with myself. Desperate to stop the changes I was experiencing, I took them, hoping they might help. But the pills only hastened my decay. They weren't HRT; they were medication that increased the rate of necrosis in my body. My skin began to flake off in small, dry chunks, and no amount of lotion could stop the decay. I couldn’t feel my pulse as strongly anymore, and my reflection in the mirror looked gaunt and hollow. Panic set in. I combed through forums and medical websites, desperate for answers, but nothing seemed to fit. It was then that I decided to investigate The VML. Something about the shop, about Ms. Hargrove and the other players, felt off. I needed to know the truth. I returned to the shop late one night, long after closing time. The lights were off, but I could see a faint glow coming from the back room. My heart pounded in my chest as I crept inside. The air was thick with decay, and the musty scent I had once found charming now turned my stomach. As I approached the back room, I heard voices, faint and whispering. Pushing the door open, I was met with a sight that froze my blood. The room was filled with the players, but they were not the lively, friendly faces I had come to know. They were corpses, long dead and rotting, their flesh hanging in tatters from their bones. Carl’s deep laugh was now a hollow, rattling sound, and Jane’s quiet demeanor was replaced by the vacant stare of a skull. And at the center of it all was Ms. Hargrove, her eyes no longer twinkling but glowing with an eerie, unnatural light. She looked at me with a twisted smile, and I realized with horror that I was becoming one of them. The Arabian Nights cards were cursed, draining the life from me, turning me into one of the undead. I tried to run, but my legs wouldn’t obey. My body felt heavy, sluggish, as if it were already succumbing to the rot. Desperation clawed at my mind as I stumbled out of the shop, the whispers of the dead following me into the night. I reached out to friends and family, desperate for help, but no one believed me. They couldn’t find any record of The VML. It didn’t exist on Google Maps, and no one had ever heard of it. They thought I was losing my mind, that the stress of work and my obsession with the game were taking their toll. But I knew the truth. The shop was real, and it was killing me. With every passing day, my condition worsened. My skin, now gray and lifeless, peeled away in larger chunks. My bones ached, and my movements became stiff and labored. I felt the decay spreading, consuming me from the inside out. The faces of the undead players haunted my dreams, their hollow eyes a constant reminder of what I was becoming. In a final act of desperation, I returned to The VML one last time. The shop was dark and silent, but I could feel the presence of the undead lurking within. I knew it was my only chance to escape the curse. With trembling hands, I gathered the cursed Arabian Nights cards and set them ablaze in the parking lot, hoping to sever the connection that was draining my life. As the flames consumed the cards, I felt a searing pain course through my body. I collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony as the darkness threatened to swallow me whole. But then, miraculously, the pain began to subside. The whispers of the dead faded, and I felt a faint glimmer of hope. I staggered to my feet, my body weak and ravaged, but still alive. I had narrowly escaped the clutches of The VML, but the damage was done. My skin was still gray and lifeless, my pulse a distant memory. I knew I was beyond medical help, my body too far gone to be saved. Now, as I write this, I can feel the decay spreading once more. My narrow escape bought me time, but the curse still lingers, slowly consuming me. I am racing against time, searching for a way to break the curse, to stop the transformation. But deep down, I know it’s too late. The VML has claimed me, just as it has claimed so many before. If you ever find yourself in that forgotten corner of the rural California desert, and you see the sign for The VML, I beg you: turn away. Do not step inside. For once you do, there is no escape from the curse that lies within. |
2024.06.02 10:20 u037yu Android to iPhone, is it worth it?
Hi everyone,
I've been using Android phones for a while now and I'm considering switching to an iPhone for the first time. I've heard many good things about iPhones, but I'm still on the fence. For those of you who have made the switch from Android to iPhone, or those who are already iPhone users since then, was it worth it? What were the pros and cons you experienced?
A bit about me:

I've been using Android phones for a while now and I'm considering switching to an iPhone for the first time. I've heard many good things about iPhones, but I'm still on the fence. For those of you who have made the switch from Android to iPhone, or those who are already iPhone users since then, was it worth it? What were the pros and cons you experienced?
A bit about me:
- Current Phone: I'm using an old Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro from 2020. While it's still functional, it's showing signs of slowing down and the speaker is almost unusable. It occasionally experiences a black screen, which is concerning. My previous Huawei phone had similar issues.
- Considering an Upgrade: With my birthday coming up, I'm contemplating rewarding myself with a big upgrade to any iPhone 14 or 15 series model. Given the higher price of Apple products, I'm expecting exceptional durability and performance, ensuring that my investment lasts for years to come. However, I'm torn between treating myself and saving money.
- Mindset: My mindset has always been "as long as it works/okay, it is still usable and you don't need a new one." I'm very frugal and prioritize my expenses carefully. However, considering the occasional black screen issue, I'm also considering having a backup phone, especially for banking and other digital transactions, as most require 2FA, OTP, biometrics, and other security measures. (I may be trying to justify this impulsive thought, or finding an excuse to buy one necessarily, lol.)
- User Experience: How does iOS compare to Android in terms of usability and overall experience?
- App Quality: Are apps generally better on iPhones? Are there any noticeable differences?
- Battery Life: How does the battery performance compare between the two?
- Ecosystem: If you use other Apple products, how well do they integrate with the iPhone?
- Value for Money: Given the price differences, do you feel the iPhone offers better value?
- Longevity: How long have your iPhones lasted? Do you feel they hold up well over the years?
2024.06.02 10:17 sexual_gourds bpd astrology hoes be crazy
Went out last night for my friend's birthday. She hosted an event at a bar and most of the attendees were her friends that she met through raving. I meet one of her acquaintances/casual friends outside and start chatting with her. She was really nice and sweet initially and my regarded ass tried my best to mirror her vibes. Self-preservation instinct. With these rave girls who are super nice when you meet them, it's a coin flip as to whether they are genuinely nice and PLUR and shit (love those girlies) or putting on an act.
After just a bit of talking she tells me how ~sweet~ she thinks I am and that I give off ~good vibes~ so I kinda just did the same to her. You know how it is. Then she asks me what sign I am. First red flag. I answer truthfully, but also remark that I don't know much about astrology but I've seen a lot of slander about my sign online. She says "omg no don't worry, male suck though" to which I agreed because I didn't know or want to talk about it any further. Shifting the conversation, I notice she's there with her boyfriend and ask how long they've been together. She says they've known each other for 11 years, were on and off, but "definitely back on this time". Second red flag.
I get whisked away inside by my friend to help her with something. Maybe she got offended because I did leave without saying anything. Eventually I come back out and find myself in conversation with crazy again. Her boyfriend pops out and we introduce ourselves to each other. I tell them how cute they are together. He offers to bring us some water from inside, and I smiled and thanked him when he handed it to me which I eventually realize is what triggered her.
Then I introduce her to my friend who recently arrived because he was on the sidelines as we were talking, saying we went to college together. She asks where we went, I said "oh we went to together". She asks what we studied, he answers, I say I double majored in English and . She then goes on a spiel about how she went to community college and would love to go back to get her degree but haven't because of the pandemic, and she took "advanced classes" while she was in CC, she'd love to go into STEM because she "wants a real challenge". She goes on to say how she's interested in both computer science and environmental sciences but she just can't pick because it's such a hard decision. She's just soo passionate about both. The fact that she was trying to one-up was not lost on me, but I was so stunned that a woman this dumb would be so bold to spew shit like this. I should've asked her her favorite pieces or authors or even the course titles of classes she took because she was clearly bullshitting and insecure, but I just said "oh cool I went to CC too then I transferred". The conversation winds down and she goes home.
As she walks away my friend and I talk about how crazy she is. Even my normally oblivious guy friend noticed she was being weird and chalked it up to being insecure about her education. He's not wrong but there's more to it than that. These types of weird interactions only seem to ever happen when I put in the effort to look good, you know, makeup and a cute outfit. Definitely hard to be pretty as an autist because people will expect you to act like how a normie should (which I'm incapable of) and other women will try to put you down because they're able to sniff out that you're different and think you're oblivious to their blows. I can identify when women sneak diss me but I've never been able to respond to them in the same sly manner they do.
We exchanged Instagrams earlier in the night, I go look and yep, she has 'empath' and some astrology shit in her bio and 95% of her pics are selfies with the snapchat devil filter. She doesn't even need them because she was actually a pretty cute mousey short white girl. I feel bad for her BF because he actually seemed quite kind, as those prone to fall victim usually are. How do people live like this? I mean I have BPD too but at least I'm hot and smart and try to hide it.

2024.06.02 10:07 Tazza107 Just an up date on Calibanus.Hookeri, that I "Rescued" !! Back in Dec last yr. :)
 | Calibanus. hookeri. submitted by Tazza107 to cactusandsucculents [link] [comments] She has show a considerable amount of growth in the last 6 months, as you can see in the the first pic. The leaves are a lot vibrant, with it's blueish grey-green colour. This sign shows that the plant is healthy. The caudex is slowly starting to show signs of growth also, as it starts to show cracks, which gives in its unique look. Calibanus. hookeri. Is native to Northern Mexico in Tamaulipas. This plant is highly sort after for it's unique look, as not so much for it's foliage, but mainly for it's caudex. The caudex can get upto 2'- 60cm in diameter or biger out in the wildand grow up to 20"- 50cm tall. These plant are so inconspicuous, as you would clearly think it was a clump of grass growing on a rock. The grass like leave can grow upto 1'- 30cm long and drape over the caudex. It can take temperatures down to 10°F- -22°C . This plant needs well drain soil and water it sparingly. Calibanus.Hookeri need full sunlight. If planted in the ground. I would advise anyone growing Calibanus. hookeri in a pot to shelter the pot from direct sunlight, as this will stop the pot from over heating and cause the roots to rot. As the caudex isn't part of the plant that does photosynthesis, it's the grass like leaves that does. There a only two Calibanus species in this genus and the other is call C. glassianus With age the caudex starts to get this cork like texture, similar to Dioscorea. elephantipes. This plant is dioecious, as I'm hoping that this plant is a female so I can pollinate it with my male plant that I have had for 20 yrs. I'm not sure how old Calibanus has to be before it can flower, but this is well over 20 yrs and has never flowered, as it was neglected. When I removed the plant out of my sis garden bed. I notice that was remains of some root rot quite some time ago, which had set back plant. I'm hopping that it flower this yr, and praying for a female plant. :) |

Timebank Gathering: What’s been happening and what’s next, Gribblehirst Community Hub
The evening will be focused on reconnecting and sharing food. Timebank Auckland Central will also update on projects happening and a chance to hear about some exchanges. Newcomers welcome but it is a social evening rather than the usual offers and requests discovery session. Bring a dish if it’s easy. Timebank Auckland Central will sort out food closer to the time as they might like to set a meal theme. What is timebanking? Timebanking is a way to connect to your community while sharing and exchanging skills, goods and resources using time instead of money as the currency. All time is equally valued and this idea builds community and supports people in creative and interesting ways.

2024.06.02 09:51 tombakerislordoftime Lore event entry. "Marigolds"
Higher altitude, nestled in a secret place among the smoky mountains, the Mother's Nest. Brought here by invitation and blindfold only, we are to witness CB's induction to their fold. The ceremony is about to commence.
The Mother's Nest is a small village of mostly women. 20 or so little thatched cottages in a bowl shaped valley. Each decorated with enchanted flowers that perpetually bloom. On the north side, a communal garden, pasture and pen to the east, tools and livery on the south. Shooting range west.
In the center is the Cradle. It is a place of worship, learning, love, judgment, forgiveness, ceremony and there also reside the five Mothers.
The walls, seemingly constructed of windowless stone and vine, the pitch of blue slate. We are gathered to the inner sanctum.
Candle fixtures on the walls, black sooty ghosts stained high above them. Warm and bright amber radiances dance to fill the hall. Wreaths and flower filled swags of every color adorn two rows of 12 finely carved light ash wood benches.
From here we see the eight points of CB’s antlers, as he kneels before three of the five Mothers. Queen Mother Hannah in the center, Mother Marigolds to the right and Mother Evey to the other.
Mother Marigolds rises out of her throne and gracefully walks before CB, who is now bowed, still kneeling.
You may have been too distracted to have noticed the bow in her grasp.
Shockingly smooth bright pink hair. Face mysteriously masked, only her smoky, piercing eyes revealed.
That.
And her fur bikini. Dangerously draped over smooth creamy skin, held up by curves that are envied and admired by young, old and everyone between.
Do not let appreances be your guide. Quick to temper and wrath, with the skill to back it, death could easily be your fate.
“COOL BREEZE!” She spoke in an ominous tone.
“You have completed the trials. You have proven yourself to be a helper. You have shown your loyalty. There are no promises to make, vows to take or oaths to swear. Simply do or do not.
This bow has been made by Jumpin, our most experienced Bowyer. I have enchanted it myself. Imbued with double power on the first strike, supernatural accuracy and aid to your perception.
Now rise. Take and name your bow!”

Candle fixtures on the walls, black sooty ghosts stained high above them. Warm and bright amber radiances dance to fill the hall. Wreaths and flower filled swags of every color adorn two rows of 12 finely carved light ash wood benches.
From here we see the eight points of CB’s antlers, as he kneels before three of the five Mothers. Queen Mother Hannah in the center, Mother Marigolds to the right and Mother Evey to the other.
Mother Marigolds rises out of her throne and gracefully walks before CB, who is now bowed, still kneeling.
You may have been too distracted to have noticed the bow in her grasp.
Shockingly smooth bright pink hair. Face mysteriously masked, only her smoky, piercing eyes revealed.
That.
And her fur bikini. Dangerously draped over smooth creamy skin, held up by curves that are envied and admired by young, old and everyone between.
Do not let appreances be your guide. Quick to temper and wrath, with the skill to back it, death could easily be your fate.
“COOL BREEZE!” She spoke in an ominous tone.
“You have completed the trials. You have proven yourself to be a helper. You have shown your loyalty. There are no promises to make, vows to take or oaths to swear. Simply do or do not.
This bow has been made by Jumpin, our most experienced Bowyer. I have enchanted it myself. Imbued with double power on the first strike, supernatural accuracy and aid to your perception.
Now rise. Take and name your bow!”
2024.06.02 09:50 jinx_x27 tell me…
an email i considered sending to my therapist, but never sent. share any thoughts as you would like :) thank you to anyone who takes the time to read. let me know if you relate if you’d like.
little jacked up, admittedly probably shouldn’t have done the block or two home from the bar if i’m being honest. it’s kind of wild the way things change and stay the same. the level of disconnect and the lack of discernment between what is okay and what is not. knowing and not knowing… rationalizing? what is okay
and the sadness as you watch people succumb, over and over, more and more. and you stand back and watch as people simply take watch, observe the decline, yourself included. and you think, well, they don’t know any different. but if you’re asking yourself the question, if you all make the jokes that indicate the awareness with things left unsaid… i don’t know. it’s an incredibly sad world we live in some days
and there’s people that greet me upon entering, and these people say they adore me, their words. and i’m here wondering why they ask me these questions, truthfully why can’t you just recognize that i need more than 6 ft of distance for me to be okay with you talking this intensely. no ill intent, warmth, encouragement. and i want nothing more than to not be seen. it’s amazing, truly.
there are so many missed communications. and people just carry on, they just continue to whatever beat their drum drums. they continue to color inside the lines, they don’t dare to shake their status quo. not recognizing that their status quo is what keeps things where they are. not recognizing that if they see something , say something. and i think it’s even more sad if they do see it. i’m one of those people, and i can empathize because i feel powerless too.
it’s a wild wild world all the time
and yet, my aunt texts me just now, she says “ Thanks for listening to me all the time. You’re one of the very few people that I can talk to and know that you totally understand what I’m jabbering about. ” so i have meaning, i made impact. right?
we’re all witnesses to this shit. it’s wild
i must be more jacked up than i thought, to be shamelessly sharing.
i think too many people are in pain, with no means to get out. except they have the means, they have the help, they just can’t see it. it’s a profoundly sad world. and nonetheless, a good night . a night of sharing, of exchanges, of authentic conversation.
i don’t know. i don’t quite have the words
i know that im deeply grateful to have the space to express. and i know that i wouldn’t be here if not for you
how many people don’t have a version of you? how many people stumble blindly through whatever their shit is, unknowingly colluding
i don’t know
and what is there to do? the spouse of the alcoholic takes him in the car home, he’ll sleep in the car or on the couch. the father who texts his son thanking him for his honesty about having been drinking, and therefore isn’t going to pick up his dad. i tell him, that’s a great text from your dad. good on you. (he’ll appreciate that someday if he doesn’t already). did he hear me? was he more upset that i shouldn’t be looking over his shoulder? it wasn’t my business in the first place? he wouldn’t be wrong.. but i read it and wished id have heard it, so i said something. he thanked me, so maybe. but maybe not, maybe he thought fuck you. the brother that storms out on his sister over who knows what, what i hear as a “years long conflict, this happens at least every other time they get together.” and it’s normal, so let’s move on, let’s have fun. forget about it. under the rug it goes.
how are people not profoundly disturbed by this? how do they actively participate?
and how can i say that as i stand by and watch these things pass by because these people are 20-30 years older than me, i dont have the connection necessary to plant any seeds of change. and yet i have 5 minute conversations with people only to hear that they call me extraordinary, they say im destined for great things, always have been.
i don’t know. i don’t know what i feel
i just know that it’s difficult for me to interact with so many people that have no idea what to do. and i have the empathy. i didn’t, i don’t know what to do either. you just keep trying anyway, but they don’t seem to. they brush it off, they act like it’s nothing so as to minimize the discomfort, in an effort to save somebody’s feelings.
i don’t know. it’s a wild thing
nobody i know is ever malicious. i know malicious people exist, they are not the ones i know.
it’s insane to me the level of harm that can be done despite good intentions. and how disturbingly normal it is to watch and do nothing. nothing. sit back. they’ll figure it out. maybe. someday. maybe. hopefully.
it’s fucked up. what if they don’t? what if they need you to say something? what if they need to know that it’s seen, even if it’s uncomfortable, even if it hurts?
i don’t know. i’m not pointing the finger, im no different, im a participant as well
but im 24, i say, im only a kid compared to these people. cant be much different than the things they all tell themselves.
i don’t know.
it’s a weird thing.
and today was my dad’s 50th birthday . and i hugged him multiple times, trying to tell him i love him. trying to tell him to stay close. take care of yourself, i need you around. and yet im fuming over the treatment of my step-sister who still lives in his house. the lack of accountability taken. and how could you carry on this way. how could you not see what you’re doing. how could you continue to oppress, restrict another human being, another child of yours. i told you what it did to me, didn’t i? didn’t you listen? i thought you did.
but i love this man more than i give a fuck whether the sun rises the next day, and so i will give him grace. i will hug him tight because i don’t want him going anywhere. i see him laugh it up, i see him brush things off, i see him swallow, and make light. and i watch his body decay as the stress compounds. why? how? but i get it, too. i haven’t said anything either. that’s all we know
i care that he knows how much i love him, how much i need him, how much i yearn for closeness, for him to understand. i see the weight that you’re carrying that you tirelessly try to dismiss
i don’t know what to do with all of this sometimes there’s too much to be seen that isn’t said.
i’m highly analytical, im logical, im rational, im disconnected. and honestly i don’t know how else to exist, because feeling it all, watching it all
i don’t know sometimes. i don’t know
and it was a great night. it was a great night
too many paradoxes.
and i’ll wake up tomorrow, i’ll forget about this. i’ll be caught up in my own world. it will be out of sight out of mind
what can you do? are the messages i receive from people like my aunt enough? do i need to think better? it’s not like im not already cracking under my own weight. but would more mean more? do more? how do we all sit back like that. how do we all do that
blows my mind, and i understand it all the same.
crazy. crazy. crazy.
i hope you’ve been able to get some rest. it makes me wonder sometimes… did you abuse your body too like i have? is it a case of poor genetics? is it to be expected with aging? do you have regrets that you’re now paying the price for? or have you made your peace and you roll with the punches? what are the things you tell no one about? what are the things you try to forget? what are the things you deny but secretly know, the things that only you could possibly know? and am i projecting? is there a level of healing where that’s not what you think anymore? but at the end of the day, i think everybody has those, no matter how healed you think you are. is that reality or just mine?
do you have somebody too?
maybe it’s arrogant of me, but i don’t think i would sense, i don’t think i would suspect if there was nothing to know.
that pains me some days.
but maybe that’s the human part of this work. maybe i’m human, and you’re human, and we all have things left unseen and untouched, unsaid.
do i think that because im wounded? or is that how this thing we call life is? i don’t know.

2024.06.02 09:48 Crypto-Raven Testing the Octa june 13th
Together with a few other selected people I have been invited to test the new Defender Octa on June 13th in Dusseldorf.
Anything you guys want me to pay special attention and/or ask the engineers?
I signed an NDA with regards to taking pictures/video so wont be able to post anything like that. Official release is in July.
Im currently driving a D300 diesel 110 in X spec so I'll try to make my comparison based on that car.
Was informed that here in Belgium the Octa would start around 180k and you'll probably hit 200k if you want to fully deck it out.
I'm a bit in dubio as I am also considering to trade in my current car for a similar 130 with captain seats as we often travel with 2 children and 2 dogs and my 110 is getting a bit tight.

2024.06.02 09:46 SharowPUBG A friend is mentally suffering from sexual abuse, how can I help her?
tldr: She (21f moroccan) is very shy, met a man, texted with him, went to him to say goodbye, blacked out kind of overwhelmed with everything in a state where she would easily be taken advantage of, he forced her to blow, no penetration, yelled at her, got her out of the house. She blamed herself, said she's gonna kill herself if she got aids (she had a wound from an OP in her mouth so it's technically possible I guess), now realizes she's been abused and can't stop turning her head of, bad sleep, no apetite. Now she wants to report it to the police and writes everything down
She trusts my advice, so I feel very overwhelmed with my responsibility, my advice could help or destroy her (maybe not, idk)
About her
Over a year ago I met her on an App called "HelloTalk", it's for learning languages and she reached out to me to help her with german. Yes, Im german and we've never seen each other in real life. We've been chatting regularly since and talked about all kinds of stuff. From what I can tell she has a big heart, would help people even though it might not give her anything. Her life in that time had some difficulties with studying, but it seemed manageable to me until everything fell apart.
She discovered that she has breast cancer. It made going through day to day life difficult, she was strong and tried her best to continue, continue to study. She sometimes would fall behind, because she wasnt allowed to stress herself or had Operations done to her during lessons.
The abuser
It was that time when she met J. They met on a dating app "hinge". They had good conversations it seemed and so met up in real life. She told me about it and it made me happy, I was hoping maybe she found a nice person. She liked him. She even got a little jealous when he talked to the receptionist, since she is not a social butterfly. I tried encouraging her at the time, that she's great and if he's any good he'll see. I remember her sending me a voice note crying, she wanted to make him a christmas present and spend the whole day trying to get like a small wooden surf-board with some words imprinted. But the people she asked for the service did a poor job, but promised to fix it and didn't so she went somewhere else and something there failed too. It was just supposed to me a small gift, she wouldn't even write her name on it, she just thought, maybe it will make the person happy.
What happened
J was gonna leave the country and so she wanted to say goodbye, in person. She took a taxi and was very nervous. It was far out of her comfort zone to do this, but she pushed herself. Her plan was to say goodbye, maybe give him a hug and leave. He had different plans though. In retrospect I should have read the signs, he wanted to meet up earlier times, but it was very far for her and she didn't feel safe. That's why she's also a little nervous, she's far from home (maybe 1-2 hours). He never pushed it, but always wanted her to come to him.
I dont know exactly what happened at this point. He must have said that he has something for her and she should come in. They went upstairs and then he hugged her, her giving no signs that she is comfortable happy or any consent, he started kissing her, and that's when she must have been so overwhelmed that she was kind of in a shock. You know after all she's also a muslim. She couldn't process what happened fast enough and that's when he pulled out his dick and made her blow it, yelling at her, that was the thing she remembered most, is him yelling, she told me crying "he yelled at me".
After
She started blaming herself, why would she be so stupid, why did she trust him, why couldn't she say anything
She fell out of uni, because she couldn't focus on anything other than this. It gave her sleepless nights
She worried that she would get HIV and made a test, telling me she'd kill herself if it was positive. I tried my best calling her, telling her it's not her fault... I had a long list of reasons not to, prepared when she tells me the result and luckily it was negative. That's when I first started this draft and actually it went up hill.
She chatted with him even after it and he is the most disgusting thing I've seen. He doesn't feel any guilt, instead kicks her when she's on the floor. When she tells him that he destroyed her, he sends pictures of him having fun, telling her he misses her mouth.
She finally blocked him and it reliefed her, she realized she's been abused. Even though she cant stop thinking about it every day, crying, she got out of that self-blaming attitude. Instead she wants to report it to the police now. All she has is the chat between him and her, which is very vivid and she translates it to arabic... Im not a police officer, not a lawyer, and I dont know morocco, but I have doubts that this is going to lead to anything. She's full tunnel visions into it wanting to finish this. Nobody is on her side, they say she's 18, so she should have taken care of herself. Not only her parents but also institutions that should help people in this situation
I hope when she's done gathering up every detail, she gets it out of her head. I just want her to find peace.
I already told her that she shouldn't expect too much coming out, so that it wont hurt as much if nothing happens. But I have to support her with it, it seems, she has nobody else who would help her
She looks up to me, so what advice can I give her?
