~The I'm Moving Please Buy My Stuff Sale/Trade List Extravaganza!~ Hi all - I am moving in a few weeks and have been collecting so much stuff that I have avoided selling and it is time to clear it all out. I am posting prices based on the lowest I see either through online stores for new items, or completed sales for other things. I am absolutely open to a reasonable counteroffer but I am trying to price everything competitively. If something is listed as a bundle I would prefer to try that prior than breaking things up, but feel free to send me a message. Timestamps: https://imgur.com/a/jBukwmE

Exploring The Marvel of Mount Sinai: A Divine Encounter

Imagine standing at the foot of a towering mountain, the air electric with anticipation, knowing you are about to witness a divine miracle. This is not a scene from the latest blockbuster movie, but a pivotal moment in biblical history—the giving of the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai. In this post, we will journey together through this transformative event and uncover the timeless wisdom it imparts for today’s world.

Setting the Scene: A Covenant on Mount Sinai

The story of the Ten Commandments being given to Moses on Mount Sinai is a cornerstone of faith for multiple religions, chronicled in the Book of Exodus. After leading the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery, Moses ascends Mount Sinai where he enters the presence of God. What follows is not just the reception of laws but the establishment of a covenant between God and His people, highlighting themes of obedience, loyalty, and—above all—love.

• Exodus 19:5-6: “Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine.”
• Exodus 20:1-17: The Ten Commandments—a divine moral code.

The Ten Commandments: A Path to Freedom

The Ten Commandments are often seen as rules; however, at their heart, they’re guidance from a loving Father to His children, designed not to restrict but to liberate. Let’s explore how these ancient words still hold profound implications for living a fulfilled life today.

1. Love and honor God above all.
2. Worship and serve the Lord only, acknowledging His holiness.
3. Honor the sacredness of God’s name, speaking it with reverence.
4. Observe the Sabbath day by resting and reflecting on God’s goodness.
5. Respect and honor one’s parents, fostering harmony within families.
6. Value the sanctity of life, cherishing each day given by God.
7. Uphold fidelity and purity within the bounds of marriage.
8. Practice integrity, respecting others’ possessions.
9. Engender trust, speaking truthfully and avoiding deceit.
10. Live with contentment, free from envy of others’ blessings.

Embracing the Ten Commandments in Daily Life

Engaging with the Ten Commandments isn’t about adhering to a list of dos and don’ts; it’s about shaping a life that reflects God’s love and righteousness. In embracing these commandments, you cultivate a heart that seeks to honor God, cherish your neighbors, and live a life of integrity and purpose. Consider how these timeless principles can be applied in your relationships, work, and personal growth.

The Mount Sinai Moment: A Call to Action

In reflecting on the monumental event at Mount Sinai, we are reminded of our own moments of encountering God’s presence and truth. Just as the Israelites were called to live in accordance with divine principles, we too are invited to embrace this sacred guidance in every aspect of our lives. Let this historical moment inspire you to seek a deeper relationship with God, to live by His commandments, and to thrive in the freedom they provide.
Today, I encourage you to reflect on the relevance of the Ten Commandments in your life. How can they guide your actions, decisions, and relationships? Remember, through God’s wisdom and love, we find the path to true freedom and fulfillment.

Like a lot of others, I am married with kids, and it isn’t quite all hunky-dory… I work from home (for years, well before the pandemic) and I am not always busy. That leaves a lot of time for me to be stuck in my own head, so I am looking for a friend who can provide a long-term distraction, both during and outside of work hours. I am not really looking to rant. I prefer chatting with someone creative, as maybe that will jumpstart a part of me that I feel I have lost.
About me… I love basketball and have season tickets to the local pro team (even though that causes me loads of heartache). I like exercise, long walks, food, TV, movies, and baseball on a nice day. I am often too sarcastic for my own good.

Why nightmares and ‘daymares’ could be early warning signs of autoimmune disease

An increase in nightmares and hallucinations—or ‘daymares’—could herald the onset of autoimmune diseases such as lupus, say an international team led by researchers at the University of Cambridge and King’s College London. The researchers argue that there must be greater recognition that these types of mental health and neurological symptoms can act as an early warning sign that an individual is approaching a “flare,” where their disease worsens for a period.
5-20-2024 Yoga and meditation-induced altered states of consciousness are common in the general population, study says
Yoga, mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, and other practices are gaining in popularity due to their potential to improve health and well-being. The effects of these practices are mostly positive and occasionally transformational, yet they are known to sometimes be associated with challenging altered states of consciousness. New research by a team including investigators from Massachusetts General Hospital reveals that altered states of consciousness associated with meditation practice are far more common than expected. Although many people reported positive outcomes, that were sometimes even considered transformational, from these experiences, for a substantial
5-20-2024 Examining the benefits of out-of-network care for pediatric moyamoya
Total in-episode expenses and resource use before the index surgery (preop) and including/after the surgery (postop). The comparisons are separated for analysis into (A) single institution cohorts (1 and 2) and (B) multi?institution cohorts (3 and 4). Moyamoya disease is a rare condition that affects the blood vessels in the brain, especially in children. Narrowing and blockage of vessels significantly increases the risk of stroke and requires surgical revascularization for treatment. Although research shows that outcomes of revascularization are better
5-20-2024 Study explores links between social media use, mental health and sleep quality
The more time you spend on social media, the greater the likelihood of having unpleasant social-media related dreams that cause distress, sleep disruption and impact our peace of mind. Flinders University’s Reza Shabahang says that the vast and rapid adoption of social media has the potential to influence various aspects of life, including the realm of dreaming. “As social media becomes increasingly intertwined with our lives, its impact extends beyond waking hours, and may influence our dreams,”
5-20-2024 How are asthma and heart health linked?
Although the heart and lungs are neighbors in your chest, people may think of them as separate entities with unrelated problems. But a growing body of evidence suggests that asthma—one of the most common lung disorders—is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Asthma is a serious chronic disease in which airways are inflamed, often in response to specific triggers. It affects about 25 million people in the U.S., including nearly 5 million children, causing millions of annual visits to doctors’ offices and emergency rooms. “We call these major changes
5-20-2024 STUDY EXPLORES PATIENT TRUST IN PHYSICIANS
Trust in one’s physician drives positive health practices. In a scoping review, SUNY Poly Professor of Sociology Dr. Linda R. Weber discovered new developments in the measurement of trust, identified those measures of trust that have known reliability and validity, and compared those instruments’ conceptualizations, dimensions, and indicators. The paper is published in the journal PLOS ONE. Weber explains that 10 dimensions emerged from the study: fidelity, technical competence, communicative competence, interpersonal competence (i.e., caring), honesty, confidentiality, global, behavioral, fairness, and system trust/accountability. In addition, these findings provide the foundation
5-20-2024 TIMESAVING TIPS FOR COOKING HEALTHY MEALS
Living a busy, fast-paced life can make it hard to find the motivation to cook a healthy meal at home. However, learning some shortcuts in the kitchen can keep your healthy eating goals on track and help you avoid grazing on unhealthy snacks, grabbing the first thing you see in the fridge or going out for fast food. Why cook at home? Research shows that maintaining a healthy weight is challenging when you eat out too frequently. Restaurant portions often are super-sized
5-20-2024 UNDERSTANDING PERIMENOPAUSE VS. MENOPAUSE
Menopause marks a significant transition for women, yet understanding its precursor, perimenopause, and its symptoms can be complex. Dr. Stephanie Faubion, director of Mayo Clinic’s Center for Women’s Health and medical director of The Menopause Society, says experiencing perimenopause and menopause can be confusing for some. She says it is not only patients who may find it confusing, but medical providers as well, due to lack of training in menopause management. “Menopause is defined by no menstrual cycle for a year,” says Dr. Faubion.
5-20-2024 LOW-DOSE IRON SUPPLEMENTATION HAS NO BENEFIT FOR BREASTFED INFANTS, SHOWS STUDY
The American Pediatric Association recommends iron supplements to all healthy infants who breastfeed longer than four months, while its European counterpart, Society of Gastroenterology, Hepataology and Nutrition, does not recommend it. These deviating guidelines stimulated researchers to design a new study. Breastfeeding is strongly recommended, and the proportion of children are breastfed during the first half of life is high. The researchers wanted to determine whether breastfeeding babies could benefit from extra iron.
5-20-2024 ALLERGY MEDICATIONS COME WITH HAZARDS: BE AWARE
People with seasonal allergies often turn to over-the-counter and prescription medicines to relieve symptoms like coughing, sneezing, runny nose, congestion and itchy eyes, nose or throat. But they often aren’t aware that these meds—including antihistamines—have as much risk for potential side effects, drug interactions and overdose as other drugs. “All medicines have side effects associated with them even when they are taken appropriately and according to dosing directions on the label,”
5-20-2024 I CAN’T AFFORD OLIVE OIL—WHAT ELSE CAN I USE?
If you buy your olive oil in bulk, you’ve likely been in for a shock in recent weeks. Major supermarkets have been selling olive oil for up to A$65 for a four-liter tin, and up to $26 for a 750 milliliter bottle. We’ve been hearing about the health benefits of olive oil for years. And many of us are adding it to salads, or baking and frying with it. But during a cost-of-living crisis, these high prices can put olive oil out of reach. Let’s take a look at why
5-20-2024 Researchers uncover biological trigger of early puberty
Heather Brenhouse, associate professor of psychology, says disrupting the caretaker relationship can really traumatize a child or a developing rodent. Credit: Ruby Wallau/Northeastern University New research conducted by the Brenhouse Lab reveals how early life adversity triggers early puberty and late-life anxiety, paving the way for potential interventions. The onset of puberty has been creeping downward for decades. In the United States, the average age of girls reaching puberty ranges from 8.8 to 10.3 years old. The early start of puberty, which is associated with many health risks, can be

Brain-spinal cord duet’s neurodynamic symphony is now accessible to scientists via novel multi-organ implants. Credit: Dmitrijs Celinskis A sensory process such as pain is no ordinary phenomenon—it’s a symphony of neural and vascular interactions orchestrated by the brain and spinal cord. Attempting to dissect this symphony by focusing on a single region is like trying to understand a complex melody by listening to just one instrument. It’s incomplete, potentially misleading, and may result in erroneous conclusions. Enter the Carney Institute’s team of visionaries. Their mission? To develop tools that allow

Participating in a three-week car-free challenge has enhanced the health and well-being of Oxford residents, according to research conducted by The University of Bath’s Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations (CAST), in partnership with climate charity Possible and Low Carbon Oxford North (LCON), conducted this research project. After ditching their cars for three weeks, 10 out of the 12 drivers across Oxford who participated said they plan to continue with reduced car use beyond the project. The findings of this research project show that: Day-to-day transport emissions were slashed
5-20-2024 Research shows linked biological pathways driving skin inflammation
A certain biological pathway—a set of linked reactions in the body—drives the inflammation seen in the skin disease psoriasis, a new study finds. The work could lead to improved therapies for all inflammatory skin diseases, including atopic and allergic dermatitis and a type of boil called hidradenitis suppurativa, say the study authors. The findings are published in the journal Immunity. Inflammation is the body’s natural response to irritation and infection, but when out of control, it can lead to the reddish, flaky, itchy lesions that
5-20-2024 Prescription co-payments linked to more hospital admissions in New Zealand, study finds
A new study from researchers cautions that bringing back the $5 co-payment for prescription medicines could see a jump in hospital admissions. The study analyzed health data for 71,502 people and found those who didn’t pick up a prescription because they couldn’t afford the $5 fee had a 34% higher rate of being admitted to hospital.
5-20-2024 How a simulation is informing COVID-19 vaccine policy after our ‘return to normal’
As the saying goes “There is no such thing as normal” and this has been especially true after the pandemic. Before the emergence of the omicron COVID-19 variant, countries like the U.K. had high vaccination coverage along with widespread exposure to COVID-19 in the population. This combination of vaccine and infection-derived immunity is termed hybrid immunity and is different to vaccine immunity or infection immunity alone. In contrast, other countries, including Australia, New Zealand and those in the Western Pacific, had a very different pandemic experience.
5-20-2024 Researchers find intriguing connections between Alzheimer’s disease and other common conditions
A study has found that while some medical conditions appear to increase our likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s disease, others appear to decrease the odds. The study, led by Dr. Yijun (Nicholas) Pan and Dr. Liang Jin, analyzed data from 2,443 older Australians living in Melbourne or Perth who are part of the Australian Imaging, Biomarker and Lifestyle (AIBL) study, an internationally recognized cohort for dementia research. “We found anxiety and other neurological disorders are associated with increased likelihood of Alzheimer’s disease,” Dr. Pan said.
5-20-2024 Prepping autistic or sound-sensitive kids for cicada noise
As Chicagoans await the emergence of the cicadas, parents of children on the autism spectrum and/or who have sensitivities to sound can take a few steps to prepare for what is expected to be a loud summer. “Some children on the spectrum can struggle with loud or unexpected noises, such as toilets that automatically flush, fireworks around the Fourth of July or the emergence of a large number of cicadas,”
5-20-2024 Study highlights importance of screening for rare inherited iron metabolism defects

Although iron deficiency anemia is the most prevalent form of anemia globally,
5-20-2024 Study finds tyrosine kinase Csk promotes germinal center B cell survival and affinity maturation
The authors found that Csk (a tyrosine kinase that attenuates B cell receptor signaling) is required for germinal center maintenance and efficient antibody maturation. The immune system strikes a fine balance by identifying and neutralizing disease-causing agents while carefully avoiding destruction of healthy tissues and cells. Now, researchers from Japan have shed new light on one of the processes that helps train immune cells to act only against genuine threats.
5-20-2024 Significant gaps between science of obesity and the care patients receive, say experts
As research continues to produce evidence about the underlying causes of obesity and optimal strategies to treat and manage obesity have evolved, there are disparities in application of the latest scientific advances in the clinical care that people with obesity receive. Widespread adoption of current findings, consistency of care and expertise in obesity care varies by health care professional and institution.
5-20-2024 Improving online depression treatment
Symptom course of depression for individuals who dropped out of treatment and those who completed treatment. In the dropout group, there is an initial decrease in symptoms while the patients were still in treatment, which tapers off as they drop out. For completers, there is close to a linear change over time. This suggests there is a relation between the more that an individual continues to participate in ICBT and their depressive symptom improvement.

The diheteroarylamide-based compound 1C8 and the aminothiazole carboxamide-related compound GPS167 inhibit the CLK kinases, and affect the proliferation of a broad range of cancer cell lines. A chemogenomic screen previously performed with GPS167 revealed that the depletion of components associated with mitotic spindle assembly altered
5-20-2024 Study sheds light on bacteria associated with pre-term birth
Researchers from North Carolina State University have found that multiple species of Gardnerella, bacteria sometimes associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV) and pre-term birth, can coexist in the same vaginal microbiome. The findings, published in mSystems, add to the emerging picture of Gardnerella’s effects on human health. Gardnerella is a group of anaerobic bacteria that are commonly found in the vaginal microbiome. Higher levels of the bacteria are a signature of BV and associated with higher risk of pre-term birth, but it is also found in women who have no sign

I(43M) have been married to my wife (45F) for 15 years now. We have 3 kids (9F, 6F and 2M).
My wife and I are kinky, we are mainly into bondage and some mild impact play (relevant).
Since we had kids, we had to cut back on our “play time”. Maintaining a vanilla sex life is already challenging with 3 kids, let alone carving the kid of alone time needed to safely engage in BDSM.
About a month ago, we asked my sister (48F) to take the kids for a weekend so we can have some alone time. She agreed to take pick them up from our house Friday evening, and drop them off Sunday night.
Saturday evening, while we were engaging in some bondage and impact play, my sister starts blowing my phone. By the time I was able to answer (I had to take care of my wife’s safety first), my sister is knocking our door down.
We were frantic, and didn’t do a good enough job at hiding the rope marks on my wife’s wrists. My sister says that her daughter is in the hospital (just a simple sprain while playing soccer)and she needs to go. And, we didn’t notice, but she clocked my wife’s “bruises”.
The next day, she arranges some alone time with my wife, and tells her if I’m abusing her, then she will support her to report me and leave me. My wife was embarrassed, but she explained the whole thing to my sister. Then she told me what happened.
I talked with my sister, and also explained the situation, even if it was very mortifying. She seemed to accept our explanation.
Fast forward two weeks, and we get the cops and a CPS agent at our front door. Apparently there was an anonymous complaint that I was physically abusing my wife and kids.
I was treated like a criminal, the kids were questioned separately, as was my wife. I didn’t even think about my sister, but my wife did. She took everyone to our bedroom, showed them our toys, and even offered to show them some homemade movies if it was going to convince them. Thankfully they believed her and then left.
My wife again called my sister, who admitted to calling the cops multiple times, but when they did nothing, she called CPS and hoped that they will investigate.
My wife again showed her our toys, went into explicit details I never wanted anyone to know about our intimate life, and finally my sister was convinced. She said that she was sorry, but she was only doing what she thought what was right.
But I was deeply hurt that she thought that I was capable of doing what she accused me of, that she could have cost me my kids, my freedom and my job. So I told her that I am not ready to forgive her.
She says that I am the AH, that it was a logical conclusion, and that I should be happy that she is willing to go this far to protect my wife and kids. So AITA?

This is really hard for me to talk about because I struggle to understand & accept it and I don’t talk to anyone irl about it which sometimes sucks & makes me feel alone. So I’m gonna try this & see if anyone has anything useful to tell me bc I could really use any advice or support right now that I can get. This might be a long story so I’m sorry in advance.
I’m 22f and I’ve lived with my bf (24) for 3 years. We do everything together and in my opinion we’re very close and alike but in his opinion the love that we have/the love he gets from me is not enough bc about a year & a half into living together, we went thru some money struggles & his loss of a close family member which really affected him and he hasn’t really been completely the same since. But even before that loss, about a year & a half into our relationship, he decided to tell me that he’s decided he’s poly. Which I don’t agree with and I’ve made it clear. And I know the normal thing to do in that situation is go okay, well you need to leave him because you both aren’t on the same page with what you want in your relationship. I just want him to choose me and put me first like i do to him, he means everything to me. He is actually the only family i really have which is why it’s extremely hard for me to leave him. but i can feel him slowly slipping away from me. And i have tried to end things before kind of a lot of times, but we never end up following thru with it bc he apologizes, lies & says he’ll choose me over “being poly” , delete all the dating apps, stop liking naked pictures, or whatever the case may be at the time. Or he has said in the past he would go crazy & they would have to put him in a mental hospital if we broke up, bc he can’t handle another loss after his close family member passed. So obviously i feel guilty. I always just hoped in the back of my mind that one day he would wake up from this bullshit and stop with the “poly” phase and be loyal. But it’s not happening. & he always gets back on the dating apps or whatever else he does and acts like i’m in the wrong for not letting him “be who he is” which is “poly”.
In my opinion it’s one thing if he had made this great revelation BEFORE we started dating but it just makes me feel tricked that he didn’t mention it ever once UNTIL we had been living together for like a year already. Bc if he told me that when I met him I never would’ve dated him and I never would’ve fallen in love with him and moved in with him.
I look at his phone about once every 3-6 months & every time i do i find something new & bad. He always turns it on me saying i’m in the wrong for going thru it but I really wish I didn’t have to do that but if i didn’t i would never find out anything. Bc he claims he doesn’t want to waste my time with telling me about someone who’s just playing with him (like something that’s not serious) bc he hasn’t found any girl willing to go fuck off and be poly with him (i don’t think any girl like that actually exists.) despite his ongoing search for a new girlfriend (or “connection”). but yet i feel lied to bc when i look at his instagram he acts single & he dms so many random girls LUSTFULLY. And it’s so embarrassing. On top of that girls rarely reply to him bc no one wants a random man lusting in their dms. I had no idea this was the type of person he was or i wouldn’t be with him. And when i ask him about it he lies or covers it up saying he’s not like that and he isn’t lustful & that being poly isn’t about sex it’s about forming a connection with multiple people. Well if it wasn’t about sex then he wouldn’t be lusting after random girls in their dms. And btw instagram has been an issue in the past due to me finding out he hearted a pic of a girl he knew, basically a nude or a bikini pic. And the way that situation went was that he said omg i’ll delete my whole instagram and i’m done with it since this is a problem. But i told him no stop saying that shit you know you don’t mean it and you’ll be back on it in 3 days. He’s like no i mean it and yeah then in three days he was back on it. This happened a few times with other apps like tinder and every time i’m like please just save it bc we both know you saying you’re permanently off these apps isn’t true.
I don’t even have instagram anymore ever since i saw the bikini pic bc i just didn’t want to spend my energy anymore feeling like i wasn’t as pretty as the girls he follows or interacts with, so i actually followed thru and deactivated my whole account & haven’t been on it since. (at least a year) other than that i don’t use SM other than reddit & lurking on twitter sometimes & watching tiktoks. I’m not a SM girlie it not that I’m not pretty ( not trying to sound narcissistic) but i’m not an ugly girl i just really prefer privacy and don’t like posting myself online. But seemingly my bfs type is SM wh-res and i’m truly not judging the girls, I’m judging my bf.
This morning i looked at his instagram and found some extremely NSFW dms from him to a few random girls & found message conversations with a girl that’s poly that’s out of our state that he talks to often & opens up to her about things he doesn’t open up to me about, and gives her the nicest compliments that he never gives me, says she’s the prettiest girl he’s seen, sympathies w her over her personal struggles w life & relationships, calls the girl his soulmate & says they share a brain, complains about me not accepting him being poly & going thru his phone and being “threatened” by her & has shared some personal details about my life that i don’t share with people even my close friends. and much more. however he still spins it on me being in the wrong for not accepting him and going thru his phone. he never takes accountability for what he does & always lies about it not being as bad as it is and that i’m reading into things. the problem is i don’t believe what he does is poly i believe it to be CHEATING. I believe it is possible to have an honest poly relationship (not that i want one) but what he does is not honest. he has betrayed me, even tho he has never slept with anyone else while we have been in our relationship, and he has only gone on one date in person with someone else throughout our entire relationship (that date ended up going nowhere). (not that he even takes ME out on dates & if he does make a plan to go to the movies or a basketball game he always ends up inviting our friends along everytime.)
He still treats me with love and care & does a lot of things for me , he supported us when we went through our financial struggles after i got in a car accident & couldn’t work, he is always here for me but doesn’t really let me be there for him. I owe him a lot of rent money from the time that i couldn’t work & he paid rent by himself. He doesn’t hold my debt over my head but he mentioned it to the girl on instagram . which made me feel betrayed.
I told him off about what i found in his phone & took pics of the evidence which ive never done before & sent it to him and i want to know if i’m overreacting to his betrayal or if i’m in the wrong for expecting loyalty from my 3 yr relationship. /:
TL;DR my bf is emotionally cheating on me with instagram girls and out of state poly girl.
thanks for reading

I think it’s a good time for people to revisit some of Min Heejin’s previous personal and creative choices. When you see everything together it no longer looks like a couple of coincidences but a long leading pattern of behavior
I’ve tried to link as much as I can. Please let me know if need to edit or add anything. None of the MV links are the actual music videos and are instead stills posted on Imgur
-Hyein’s top in the Attention MV was a bralette while the older members all were more covered up. Hyein is 14 in this MV
-In the Attention MV their laptop falls to the ground as they’re on a video call and the people on the other end watch them dance
-Minji wears a shirt that says pimp is yours
-Min Heejin does a interview with BE(ATTITUDE) Magazine. She talks a bit about Hyein

Our youngest member is cool and sophisticated. She came to my home one day and we ate together, went to the bookstore, and walked around the neighborhood, talking about this and that. There was a passing awkwardness, but after a while it felt like I was taking a walk with a friend. She’s got so many talents and amazing skills. She’s young, but thoughtful, with that innocence they have at that age. I still remember bathing in her refreshing energy, and the sublime weather only added to the effect.

-NewJeans officially releases Cookie which is filled with sexual innuendo lyrics. Their ages at this point are 18, 17, 17, 16, and 14. Cookie was written by two native English speakers.
-Min Heejin posts a picture on Instagram that includes the Histoire de Melody Nelson album by Serge Gainsbourg on display in her apartment. The album’s plot is about a middle age man who takes a 14 year old’s virginity
-Min Heejin posts a picture on Instagram of Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting’s nude scene from the 1968 movie Romeo and Juliet. Olivia was 15 at the time of filming and Leonard was 16. (The actors have actually sued Paramount over the nudity in this scene you can read about it here)
-Min Heejin posts several pictures that include a “Baby Brooke” picture as decoration in her apartment. Brooke Shields was extremely sexually exploited as a child
-Min Heejin posts a picture that includes a still from the 1974 film Le Farò de Padre. The IMDb page for the film. The plot is an older man plans to marry a mentally-challenged, sex-crazed, adolescent girl.
-Danielle gets styled like Mathilda from Léon the Professional. Mathilda is played by 12 year old Natalie Portman and there are many inappropriate themes/hintings between her and the titular character who was portrayed by 46 year old Jean Reno.
There are also these two posts that she made but I do not know who they are if they are also celebrities/actors. I’m also sorry for the bad screenshot quality of her Instagram posts, she has since deleted these so these screenshots are from Twitter
-Min Heejin responds to the Instagram post controversy in a interview with JoongAng Ilbo.She says that all of the pictures of minors she had on her wall were gifted to her from a couple years ago. She also says that pimp is yours and Cookie are slang.
-The music video of OMG is taking place in a mental hospital with all of the members having different mental issues.
-Haters are directly talked to at the end of the OMG MV as one of the members stops another one from writing a hate comment on Twitter and tells the other member it’s time to go. The hate comment says “Does anyone else feel uncomfortable watching the MV?”
-NewJeans gets into a controversy ahead of their ETA release as there are many similarities with a Spanish terrorist cult(Euskadi Ta Askatasuna). The teaser video said starting Mikel, Maria, and Eva which are names people connected to the cult. The release date of ETA(July 21st) was also the date of two separate cult attacks in different years.
-The MV for Cool With You stars Jung Hoyeon as a woman who follows around and falls in love with a man who is unable to see her as she is some sort of invisible entity like Eros. She is able to become human after standing naked in the rain. The 5 members of NewJeans are basically her guardian angels and have been watching over her the entire time including a scene where Hoyeon gets on top of the man as he’s sleeping
Min Heejin worked at SM Entertainment from 2002 until 2018. These are some controversial moments that she was involved in during that time at SM
please note that I did not actively follow her career at that point so if I got any information wrong please let me know
-The Happiness MV from Red Velvet references the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and 9/11. The MV was edited to get rid of the collage.
-Red Velvet releases Ice Cream Cake which is filled with sexual innuendos. The ages of the members at this point are 23, 21, 21, 18, and Yeri being 16.
-This photoshoot for Red Velvet’s Rookie which I personally think fetishizes the members in a Lolita style. Yeri is 17
-Shinee’s topless photoshoot for Sherlock. Jonghyun’s body had too much muscle definition so they photoshopped it to make his body more boyish.
-The MV for NCT Dream’s My First And Last includes the members being students who are in love with their female teacher. The members ages at this point are also 18, 17, 16, 16, 16, 15, and 15.
-The MV for NCT 127’s Fire Truck includes shooting a young looking girl with water.
-The MV for Super Junior’s Devil had a 14 year old actress
Related to the recent Kakaotalk texts that were leaked where Min Heejin calls some of the members fat - here is a predebut video of the members of NewJeans talking with Min Heejin. The girls are only eating vegetables

Min Hee Jin: How is it?
Hyein: It’s so good. I think after coming here, I got used to this healthy taste. So now I like such foods.
Min Hee Jin: Wow, finally something good to hear. Hyein originally liked meat, though.
Hyein: Yeah. I still like meat but, well.

thanks for reading

I have some issues I am scared to bring up. Mainly these 2 things- we don’t go on dates, and we don’t take photos together. I’m a bigger girl (300 pounds, down 30 pounds since we met, and planning on losing more), and the last one has been a point of contention. I’ve had boyfriends who were embarrassed of me, I’ve seen how people actually think of me. I wouldn’t blame him for not wanting pictures with me, frankly I’m not pretty. But my problem is him saying he’ll try. It’s been half a year, nothing. If he was just honest, I wouldn’t be nearly as hurt. I understand that attraction is important; that’s why I been trying to lose the weight, regardless of how much he says he loves how I look.
We eat out- but we’ve had one real date. I paid for it, took us out to a Chinese buffet and a movie. I don’t want a big date/bill, it doesn’t have to be dinner and a movie. I’d be happy if he asked me to make sandwiches for a picnic and we just ate at a park as a date. It’s the lack of effort, or seeming to care. I’m too scared to ask to go out, because he just doesn’t seem interested. We’re both introverts, but he’s much more so.
I love this man so much. He and I align with everything else, our sex is absolutely fantastic, we’re big stoners and it’s nice to have a partner who also enjoys it. But I find myself crying nearly every night, I’ve never hated my body or my appearance more than I do now, even at 350LBS. Every part of my brain is telling me I’m just hidden. He appears completely single online, despite me asking him to fix his fb status. We have one picture together, and it was a month into our relationship. We’ve had the one date.
I’m tired. I feel like I’m making myself small (literally and figuratively) for him. He’s amazing, and so sweet. But I’m worried if I bring any of this up, he’ll get upset and leave me. But I can’t keep doing this. I’ve cried so much over this man, I’ve cried a couple times after sex over how disgusting I felt after. I feel like I’m not the one for him, and vice versa. He wants privacy and to not go out- I want privacy, but I don’t want to be a secret. I’m not asking to be his pfp, us to make tik toks, us to be completely public. I just want some acknowledgment.
Am I letting my head go too much, or do I have a valid reason to be upset? I can hardly ever tell, hence why I’m hesitant to bring things up
Edit to add: For some context of my thought process- I have BPD: not an official diagnosis, but my previous therapist and psychiatrist thought I was, but didn’t want to give me the diagnosis so young. Haven’t gone back since. I try and keep myself in check, I don’t bring up every time I’m insecure or overthinking, I try and let his words speak for his feelings rather than my brain take over. I read a lot on properly processing feelings, and how to communicate properly- I’m trying to be better and be a good girlfriend. I want to know if I’m asking too much. Most of our weekends are just sex and getting high. And while that was fine for a while- I want more

As a preface I want to ask the mods to please read through this and thoroughly think it over before deciding to lock or remove this thread. This is not a BS thread of me trying to sell anything, mislead anyone, or do anything for personal gain. What follows is a limited outline of my research from the last 3 years that I feel would be beneficial and give bettors new insight and perspective into sports betting.

 

Here is a controversial statement: Several, not all, sports can be accurately predicted. Through one very simple algorithm that can be seen in a movie, statistics that are available for free online, a basic understanding of mathematical constants, and an open mind to challenge something we have not seen done before, I am about to soft reveal how the way we view the prediction of outcomes should be changed.

 
Today we will cover Soccer, WNBA & NBA. At the time of writing this there are MLB games going on so compiling MLB data with my schedule tomorrow will be hard to get my pick in this thread so we will primarily cover Soccer and Basketball now.
 
With soccer I decided to only look at passing & possession stats. I then deployed the algorithm and made 4 more statistics that divide, multiply, add, subtract, etc a combination of the numbers, algorithms and custom numbers I compiled. I use this to read and determine which team with score first.
 
With Basketball I determined that it is best to track advanced assist & shooting percentage numbers. After trial and error, I then found a sweet spot combo of stats I deployed the algorithm and again began making my own custom stats. With basketball is where we need basic understanding of mathematical constants where there is a single threshold (aka if a certain number I create falls below the threshold, then it will cause me to choose option 1 to make my pick, this is less common. If the number is above the threshold, then I use option 2, the easiest, to make the pick) the pick is then made and I know the outcome.
 
Baseball is my baby, my bastard, the thing that has caused me to lose sleep and question my sanity, the SOB that began the whole project in 2019. She’s a hateful beast that has been the equivalent of wrestling a pissed off crocodile whereas the others required as much work as a jog through the park. I dislike baseball, I don’t watch it. 5 years ago, I could tell you tons of active obscure players, I enjoyed the games no one else cared about, I enjoyed the storylines, etc. but this project has since permanently altered my love and care for the sport. I worked 7 days a week on this project, which has of course taken several different twists and turns as to what I felt like I was doing or sat out to do (which was to win DFS) I took an entire year and half off from 2021-2022 to come back and tackle it. It didn’t work then. I took the back half of 2023 off and spot worked here and there when life was getting me down. I made several leaps and bounds and came with experience and new perspective each time but each time I felt like the closer I got to the goal it was only waiting to be yanked away. I decided for the final time in March 2024 to give it one last try and damn it I got it. This is my Magnum Opus; I don’t care what challenges I face professionally or personally; this was the loch ness monster I sat out to find. Was it worth it? I don’t know. It’s aged me. I knew deep in my serotonin deprived brain that Baseball could be predicted but here are so many moving parts and factors that must be accounted for. New stats must be made to make sense of everything. It’s still challenging and there are games that are in obscure land that I can’t confidentially make predictions on which is the loss I have no other option but to accept. However, there are several I can. For baseball we begin making a stat that includes contact (Out of Zone and Zone contact made with the ball), we also incorporate Swing/Strike percentage, and the pLI (player leverage index)

 
But enough about me, let’s lay out the winners for May 21, 2024 as written just before midnight on May 20, 2024
Boston takes Game 1 against Indiana (wow shocker a heavy favorite win, ok let’s go further)
Atlanta Dream beats the Dallas Wings in the WNBA (ATL is 5.5 point favorite)
Washington Mystics beat the LA Sparks in the WNBA (LA is 3.5 point favorite)
Minnesota takes Game 1 against Dallas on 5/22 (this one is kind of interesting because of a rare mathematical constant situation paired from both teams that has popped up for a unique situation that has not been found in over 2,000 games sampled. If I were betting, I would skip this one simply because there is no history to make a full logical determination that Minnesota would win. But I haven’t come this far to lay down over a technicality. I still say Minnesota)
On May 24 Girona will score the first goal against Granada
 

This isn’t luck, this isn’t a heater, this isn’t a guess, this isn’t 80% accuracy. This is real.

It is difficult to find real life RR relationship. Especially not an option if you are already taken. There are various vents and one of them - reading or writing fiction. There were topics about RR in scifi written by prominent authors. But how about you? Do you write or maybe have ideas for fantasy setting or world-building? Please share.
Couple examples from me:
Setting 1. Right man in the wrong time
In XXI century experiments on recording human personalities started, a lot of people were "read" and saved on hard-drives, but there were no technology to create artificial bodies for them. So the personalities of test subjects, volunteers and commerical clients remained stored. In parallel genetic treatment research lead to tech that could exteng lifespan, but unfortunatelly it had side-effects of higher risk of cancer for men. As a result this tech only worked well for women. Because of that a lot of parents started to chose female gender for their kids, as their daughters could live much longer than sons. This shifted gender balance and led to female-dominated society. Which sort rewritten history portraing the past of male-dominance in shades of black and all the men of the past as abusive, power-hungry despots. It was backed by statistical facts such as drop in crime rate with reduction of male population.
Eventually the anti-male campaign receded and some interest and curiocity towards men returned, but there were few men left and they were often too spoiled and not very attractive. So there was a high demand for men in various spheres of, well, entertainment. Besides of lack of supply there was a conflict between romantized image of primal men and fear that their brute force may be too disruptive in a disarned pacifist decadent society. A commercial solution was found - a company manufactured artificial male bodies that were looking hot and attractive, big in all the right places, yet lacked the brute force, were very light and designed to be harmless to women. Even a teenage girl could easily overpower them. They used the stored consciousness of men from XXI century and put these men into new artificial bodies. Bodies were not cheap, so the resurrected men owed a big loan to the company and had to work basically for free to pay off the debt...
Story is about a girl who rented such a guy as a birthday present for herself. She had to return him soon, but they figured out that his knowledge can help her a lot with her studies. Despite some technological advance, few people of her epoch can really understand principles behind the science - they can use it, maybe replicate, but not understand or advance.
So besides a romatic affair they can work together to help her and studies and suddenly a "genius", once she makes a career and earn some money - she can pay off his debt. And until then - rent him from time to time for both pleasure and studies.
-- I liked the story but it is long abandoned --
Setting 2. Purple letter
Every invention can be used for evil. So called Selena transformation was quickly adopted by shady brothels - it allowed to transform women in ideal sex-slaves or walking sex-toys. Very attractive perfect bodies, not aging, able to move and speak, but weak and helpless, easily stored after "work shift" and unable to run away. This was of course against law, but went under radar for a while, a ot of women were converted against their will. Then one of them escaped with the help of a client who smuggled her from a brothel and was eventually killed by thugs. Nevertheless, she managed to get help went to TV. She told her story and that caused a huge impact. Police raided brothels and found thousands of victims... A lot of people went to jail, but public outrage shifted from those who run these illegal dens to those who paid for their services and were silent... This caused a political shift and a lot of blame by association.
Some male politicians, celebritites decided to voluntary undergo Selena transformation. This way they demonstrated solidarity with female victims and scored a lot of points. This was good for career and removed the burden of "male guilt" from them. This made them physically weak and thus not dangerous to women anymore. Also reduced their individual carbon footprint. Last but not least - change made them look more sexy.
Some militant feminists and these male allies gained more political power and pushed mandatory transformation for jailed criminals. Reducing their danger and also reducing costs of prisons. Transformation of men went to industrial scale: it reduced crime and also was "green". Eventually it become mandatory and special comission decided who and when must come to the tf-hospital and be transformed. They sent men so called "Purple letters" - instruction to come up and pass transformation. Job perspectives were sour for remaining "organic" as insurance discounts motivated business to fire organic men and only hire transformed, because they were safer for women.
Also transformed that didn't volunteer require a "guardianship" of a woman. Such as wife, girlfriend or female boss. If there is no such woman - guys are sent to adoption centers that are nicknamed "boyshops".
Plot of the story is about two friends that were transformed and soon adopted by two ladies. Not for "fun", or at least not just for fun. Ladies run a business and required some new employes, they figured that the can just purchase two guys instead of hiring them...

Just wanted to share the settings and hopefully read some RR-fantasy setting ideas you guys have

My (F18) boyfriend (M20) is a very nice guy, i cant ever say that he once tried to hurt me in any way, except unintentionally. i have one issue with him, i never felt like he was masculine enough. i come from an arab eastern background, and so does he but he doesn’t have the same ideologies. i always wanted to be with a. guy who made me feel safe protected and provided for, while i understand he has no money because he’s still young, some things don’t have an excuse, they are simply part of his personality, like forgetting important things to me, exteme forgetting to the point it gets daunting and i feel like i have to remind him of everything, it feels like he has a nervous breakdown everytime i tell him how i actually feel about how this relationship is going. moreover i am quite religious while he is not at all, quite the opposite actually. whenever i’m with him u feel this motherly energy like i’m with a child and i need to always tell him how what’s right or wrong, when we go down arguments his values never align with mine, adding on to that our intimate times never impress me anymore, we don’t have sex or anything but it feels like i never want to kiss him or cuddle because he doesn’t make me very attracted. as i said he’s a very nice guy, i’ve told him abt thought of breaking up multiplei times, he always says e disagrees and there’s hope in the relationship, it always makes me doubt myself because i’m naturally an indecisive person with extreme FOMO, and i don’t wanna regret my decisions. i am really not sure if i love him anymore or not, and i don’t know if our future will workout one day, i am a very organized meticulous smart person he’s a very random joking around person with an unstructured life add on to that, i usually compare our rs with other couples who are mcuh happier, and i wonder why we always have petty arguments and aren’t just happy and touchy like everyone else our age, but everything he does gives me the icks
tldr: my bf is not masculine enough for me and i’m not sure if i can accept it just wanted to add smth i forgot to mention: he is constantly out of money although he has a lot of free time with not much to do, im talking like exteme levels with only $20 in his card, it gets off putting knowing this man cannot even pay for your gum, while not going to uni and not having a job

Hi, I'm Aunali, I'm a mechanical engineer in Mumbai, current working full-time in Mumbai. I'm pretty much stuck in a rut in life, which I'm finding a way out of slowly and steadily and figured it's about time to stop living in the past and actually look for someone to share my life with.
I'm going to be brutally honest, because I know 25 might be early for someone to start thinking about future and shit, but I'm looking long term if we get along, maybe even go the distance. The entire concept of casual and we'll see how it goes isn't lost on me, obviously if we don't get along it's not going to work, but I'd much prefer if you were already in the mindset of trying something out for a bit before just waking up one day and carpet bombing the entire idea altogether. If it don't work, it don't work, but if it does, give it a chance to grow before making up your mind.
About me, fairly average, looks and otherwise. I'm 6', maybe a little taller, but height is no boundary. I've recently started going to the gym, just losing weight, no body building shit. I just got my driving license, so long drives are a go, full steam ahead. I love the sea, I spend as much time with it as possible, but the sea can't love you back, so here we are. I like reading, the habit dropped off for a while but I'm getting back into it, just light stuff, fiction for the most part. I love football, but I won't force it on you especially since my team is in the shits, so it's a sore topic and I prefer not to talk about it. I also love F1, which makes for much better watching when cuddled up, so I'm always down for that over the weekends.
I'm fairly vanila when it comes to TV shows and movies, I'm more likely to go back and re-watch something like Dexter or Breaking Bad than actually watch something new. If you're a fan of anything Japanese/Korean we'll get on well, because I play a lot of games originally made in those languages so I understand them well. Trying to get into their TV shows too, but only managed Squid Games so far. [Yes, I know I'm a basic bitch, but I genuinely am clueless in this regard. Recommendations are welcome!]
Music is a big thing for me, kind of a go to place when everything is going to shit. I have loads of playlists for loads of different scenarios, which I'm sure you'll enjoy even if it isn't exactly up your street. Cigarettes After Sex, Tame Impala, Lewis Capaldi are regular features, but there's also some Hindi/Punjabi sprinkled through for them window down, hair in your face long drives to subtly suggest a romantic undertone while I struggle to make a move because I'm too caught up in my own head about whether or not to do so.
What I'm looking for? Genuinely, nothing specific. Someone between 22-25 would be ideal, but feel free to reach out irrespective of age, it's just a number after all. Looks wise, I couldn't care less, if I love you, to me you're always going to be the most beautiful person in the world. I'd prefer someone who's open to communicate, even if you're not sure how to say what you want to say, just talk and we'll make sense of it. Like I said, I'm looking long term so I'd rather you're in the same mindset too. I know testing the waters is important, and I'm more than happy to give it time to see how things progress, but my request is you be willing to do the same or atleast openly communicate if in the first few days you realise this isn't what you're looking for. Honesty goes a long way with me, irrespective of the outcome.
Anything else, just hit me up and ask. No need for a long message listing everything about you, a simple 'hey' will suffice. If you tell me everything about you in the first paragraph, what will we talk about? 'he says after writing five paragraphs about himself'
I'm pretty much an open book as long as you ask me whatever you want to know, sordid dating past and sordid current state alike.
Like I mentioned, I'm looking for something long term if we do click, so it'd be preferable if you're in Mumbai. Long distance isn't out of the question, but as long as you're willing to provide some wiggle room for things to settle in before we evaluate where we are. I'm not saying I'll move to where you live within a month of us talking for the first time, but I can still come see you so we can spend some time together in person too.
I think this is enough ramble for you to make up your mind, if it isn't you know where to find me :)
