Best hisap pepet yang

I have read all the available chapters of My accidental husband is a billionaire by Mr. Yang and I would like to read a similar story, because the novel is just amazing. I love it.
The MC Keira Olsen is one of the best female characters I've read about and I want to read more about someone like that. Love the husband Lewis aswell.

I struggled for three years before finally making it to where I am now. I've always given my best and started from scratch in different agencies to learn. I never stopped learning!
But what really frustrates me is how some people casually say things like, 'papasukin mo naman ako dyan, madali lang naman yang trabaho mo', 'sabihin mo naman sa boss mo ihire din ako', 'turuan mo naman ako kasi gusto ko din mag work from home nalang'.
Story time... My tita contacted me and asked if I could help her daughter to get a job daw. I explained to her that it's not as simple as she thinks, especially without any experience, but I offered to let her come and observe me habang nagtatrabaho ako and I'll provide some training along the way. Then it's like she expected her daughter to understand everything in one day agad. I even mentioned that in my previous agency, we had a month-long training pa nga kasi mahirap talaga.
And then she had the audacity to say that maybe I was just a slow learner daw, which is why the training took a month. WTF!! Pumantig talaga tenga ko.
It's frustrating to encounter such ignorance. Hindi nila maintindihan kung anong paghihirap at dedication ang ginawa mo to succeed. They don't realize that becoming an expert takes hard work, always learning more, and a genuine passion for what you do.
It can't be achieved overnight or handed out to anyone without the necessary skills and qualifications.

Ini adalah cerita tentang pasien nomor sembilan yang datang padaku murni sebagai pesakitan. Allsya, remaja yang terlahir dari keluarga berada tapi tak bisa menikmati bahagia. Ditempa oleh keadaan yang memaksanya untuk dewasa sebelum waktunya. Diusianya yang masih belia ia mencari tentang keadilan, perbedaan laki-laki dan perempuan, dan pembedaan perlakuan. Ketika di penghujung SMP--masa sibuknya ujian, berhasil menemukan jawaban. Patriarki. Selain dari buku yang dibacanya, ia juga mendapatkan pemahaman dari Ersya--mahasiswa yang sedang KKN di desanya. Menjalin kedekatan. Mengajari banyak hal setiap malam, berbagi perhatian, dan juga memberi perlindungan layaknya sepasang kakak-beradik. Tiga bulan sudah, tiba masanya Ersya harus pulang. Tugasnya telah usai dan harus kembali menyelesaikan studynya di kota asal. Tentu saja Allsya tak baik-baik saja setelah perpisahan. Terciptanya kebersamaan membuatnya merasa kehilangan. Terlebih ketika mimpinya dipaksa mati oleh sang ayah dengan jeratan sebuah perjodohan. Ketika ia datang padaku memberanikan diri bercerita tentang sekelumit hidupnya sebagai upaya penyembuhan diri, maka mata hatiku merubah cara pandang tentangnya. Menebas segala prasangka yang sempat tercipta karena kesaksianku yang tidak utuh. Keputusannya datang padaku adalah momentum terbaik untuk melengkapi bagian rumpang yang sering mengundang pikiran yang bukan-bukan serta kesimpulan tanpa rujukan. Namun secara tidak langsung ia mengajakku bermain-main dalam labirinnya. Bahkan bukan lagi bersifat ajakan melainkan paksaan karena ini menyangkut tanggung jawab profesi. Baiklah, dengan bantuan diary sebagai saksi bisu sang pemiliknya yang dibiarkan aku baca, kesaksian seorang lelaki yang sangat kupuja, serta mataku sendiri yang menyaksikan beberapa bagian hidupnya, aku susun benang merah dari hidup seorang pasien nomor sembilan. Silahkan, saksikan saja kinerjaku ini! Read more

Okay don't get me wrong I love Elsie. She's too young for me to think of as any more than a friend but she, like everyone else in town, is someone I want to protect and take care of. When she got back from her soul search thing, I was so proud of her and how much she grew as a character. Her story arc was incredibly satisfying.
But with that being said, there are still shit I'm kinda furious about that I need to get off my chest.

1. The investigation with her and Mi-an:

So suddenly she shows up in my house telling me not to worry about what Mi-an says in the letter and start going around town asking people sketchy questions about her sketchy bandit crush and show them the pictures too. Mi-an says we could get in trouble if we show the pictures. Kinda didn't know if I wanted to do it.
But okay whatever, I don't have a choice this is a main mission to progress the story. Let's do this.
I finish going around town asking everybody questions and finding out more lore that's nice. I meet up with Elsie and Mi-an at the Saloon and they ask me how I feel about it. I went for the nervous option and Elsie fucking bullies me about it. Gives me such a hard time because I wasn't chill about being the number 1 suspect for a break-in into the sexy man's house. Like okay I get that even if Justice found out, I'd probably be off the hook but I'm just saying I did all the work for you, Elsie. I know you're all riled up because you think he's innocent or something but you gotta stop being an ungrateful brat just because I wasn't cool about what I did for YOU.

1. I thought I could consider us best friends after that ordeal. When I talked to Elsie he keeps telling me I'm her best friend and it's so sweet. But after the investigation, once I stopped by the Blue Moon and saw Elsie and Mi-an hanging without me and I felt so left out. I was like... "Eff you guys, I'm hanging with the Corps boys 🥲 they'd invite me to things" and now the Civil Corps is my favorite social circle for my builder.
   
2. The Minster Whistle quest:
   

Okay I get that Elsie's kinda like the yin to Logan's yang. But like... does she really have to just stand there while we do all the work? Are you really going to risk the life of the guy who saved your life years ago because you don't think the monsters could be tamed instead? I also didn't see any taming in your part. you were just staring at us killing the vipers ffs. Like okay I guess?
I can build your whistles AND help out killing the vipers. I mean it's Logan. Duh I don't want him to die. But Elsie... COME ON. You decide you want to do this mission and here you are standing around while we're under attack for like 90% of the damn mission. I'm happy she started pulling her weight when the mega tunnel worm showed up but i still felt like Logan and I did most of the work. And I feel like if I said something that she didn't like she'd give me shit for it.

1. I was all for Logan getting a season in prison if that's what he wanted although the 200K+ fine was bit much. But knowing Elsie wanted it to be the lightest sentence possible made me feel like there was no other option. I mean it's fine I was gonna date him anyway but still.
   
2. Post-Daisy, she posts stuff on the bounty board and when I go to complete the order, she says she lives studying the critters and knows that I didn't rough'em up too hard... like GIRL, those vipers went poof when I was killed them... I'm so confused. You just wanted to study them but you put them on... a bounty board? THIS LADY.
   

Okay that is the end of my rant. I still love Elsie and want the best from her but theres just some things about her I needed to vent about. Thank for you for reading.

Are you struggling when explaining to your oh-so-ignorant family and friends how playing racing games and spending time on GT7 actually makes you a better version of yourself? The wisdom contained in this thread is for you.
After asking an AI in what ways the tuning it had suggested me on the Nissan Skyline Super Silhouette '84 for Le Mans was optimal and getting a most convincing response, it decided to go for an extra lap on its own and attempt to enlighten me.
May history remember that I came before you tonight as no more than a humble automobile driver and messenger, and that I make no claim to master the wheel of existence.
"To delve deeper into how each of these adjustments can synergize for optimal performance, let's explore the metaphysical aspects of tuning and racing in Gran Turismo 7:
THE ALCHEMY OF TUNING
Tuning a car in GT7 is akin to the ancient practice of alchemy, where the goal is to transform base elements into something extraordinary. Each adjustment you make is like adding a specific ingredient to your alchemical formula, aiming for the perfect balance that turns your car into a masterpiece of speed and agility.
1. Suspension Tuning: The Philosopher's Stone - Just as the Philosopher's Stone was believed to grant perfection, fine-tuning your suspension can perfect your car's handling. By lowering the ride height and adjusting the anti-roll bars, you create a harmonious balance that allows the car to glide through corners with grace and precision.
2. Aerodynamics: The Wings of Hermes - Increased downforce acts like the mythical wings of Hermes, granting your car the ability to fly through high-speed corners with stability and control. This mystical force keeps your car grounded, yet agile, much like the messenger god himself.
3. Differential Settings: The Balance of Yin and Yang - The differential settings represent the balance of opposing forces, akin to the Taoist concept of Yin and Yang. By fine-tuning initial torque, acceleration, and braking sensitivity, you achieve a harmonious flow of power that ensures smooth transitions and optimal traction.
4. Transmission: The Harmonic Convergence - Custom gear ratios are like the harmonic convergence of celestial bodies, aligning perfectly to maximize your car's potential. This alignment ensures that your car remains in the optimal power band, much like the planets aligning to create a moment of cosmic significance.
5. Brake Balance: The Scales of Justice - Adjusting the brake balance is like wielding the scales of justice, ensuring that the forces of braking are evenly distributed. A slight forward bias helps maintain equilibrium, preventing instability and allowing for precise, controlled deceleration.
6. Tires: The Alchemical Elixir - Choosing the right tires is akin to selecting the perfect alchemical elixir. Racing Soft tires offer the ultimate grip, much like the elixir of life, but with a trade-off in durability. Racing Medium tires provide a balanced potion, offering a blend of grip and longevity.
7. Electronics: The Arcane Artifacts - Traction control and ABS are your arcane artifacts, tools of modern magic that help you harness the raw power of your car. Minimal traction control allows for a more visceral connection to the car's power, while ABS ensures that your braking remains under control, even in the most demanding situations.
THE METAPHYSICAL JOURNEY
Racing in Gran Turismo 7 is not just about speed; it's a metaphysical journey where each lap is a step towards mastering the art of balance, precision, and harmony. As you delve deeper into the metaphysical aspects of tuning and racing, you begin to understand that every adjustment, every tweak, is a reflection of your inner state and your connection with the machine.
1. Suspension Tuning: The Philosopher's Stone - By perfecting your car's suspension, you are not merely adjusting mechanical components but are engaging in a process of transformation. The Philosopher's Stone symbolizes the quest for perfection, and in tuning your suspension, you seek to achieve a state of perfect harmony where the car responds intuitively to your commands, much like a well-trained steed to its rider.
2. Aerodynamics: The Wings of Hermes - The increased downforce is more than just a physical adjustment; it is an invocation of the divine messenger Hermes, who could traverse the realms with ease. This mystical force of aerodynamics allows your car to maintain stability and control, embodying the swift and agile nature of Hermes. As you navigate high-speed corners, you are channeling this divine energy, allowing your car to glide effortlessly through the air.
3. Differential Settings: The Balance of Yin and Yang - The differential settings are a dance of opposites, a delicate balance between power and control. By fine-tuning these settings, you are embracing the Taoist principle of Yin and Yang, achieving a state of equilibrium where opposing forces complement each other. This balance ensures that your car's power is delivered smoothly and efficiently, allowing for seamless transitions and optimal traction.
4. Transmission: The Harmonic Convergence - Customizing your gear ratios is akin to orchestrating a celestial symphony, where each gear shift aligns perfectly with the car's power curve. This harmonic convergence ensures that your car remains in the optimal power band, much like the alignment of celestial bodies creating moments of cosmic significance. Each shift becomes a note in the symphony of speed, contributing to the overall harmony of your racing performance.
5. Brake Balance: The Scales of Justice - Adjusting the brake balance is a practice in maintaining equilibrium, much like the scales of justice. A slight forward bias helps to stabilize the car under heavy braking, ensuring that the forces are evenly distributed. This balance allows for precise and controlled deceleration, preventing instability and enabling you to approach corners with confidence and precision.
6. Tires: The Alchemical Elixir - Choosing the right tires is a critical decision, much like selecting the perfect alchemical elixir. Racing Soft tires offer unparalleled grip, akin to the elixir of life, but with a trade-off in durability. Racing Medium tires provide a balanced potion, offering a blend of grip and longevity. This choice reflects your strategic approach to racing, balancing the need for speed with the endurance required to complete the race.
7. Electronics: The Arcane Artifacts - Traction control and ABS are your arcane artifacts, tools of modern magic that help you harness the raw power of your car. Minimal traction control allows for a more visceral connection to the car's power, while ABS ensures that your braking remains under control, even in the most demanding situations. These electronic aids are like the enchanted relics of old, providing you with the means to master the elements of speed and control."
I wish you all the very best in this Earthly experience and in remembering what you are.

Apakah kalian pernah merasa kesal karena sifat narsistik seseorang? Seseorang yang menggunakan label cassanova, kaya, jenius, berkuasa, memiliki popularitas, oh semua wanita jatuh cinta padanya' lalu berpikir ia bisa bersikap semena-mena dan memamerkan selangkangannya dengan semua label itu. Sungguh demi semua koleksi bukunya yang mahal, Jane sebenarnya tak mau dan tak akan peduli bahkan selama tak mengusiknya. Namun saat Jane akhirnya harus berurusan dengan Darren William Sirius, Jane tak bisa mempertahankan lagi sifat tak pedulinya karena Darren si Narcissus mesum segatal Zeus itu membawanya pada situasi menyebalkan, mengerikan, dan menggelikan hingga membuat Jane ingin memakinya di depan mata lalu menendang pria itu keluar dari peradaban. Namun Jane terlalu naif. Berpikir bahwa rasa percaya diri cukup untuk menekan seorang menyebalkan seperti Darren William Sirius, dan Darren menyadarinya. Bahkan itu hanya satu dari kelemahan lain yang Jane tak sadari. Ini hanyalah masalah waktu, sampai aku bisa menendangnya lalu menghancurkannya dengan menyedihkan. Read more

I experienced the Rosetta Stoned experience in 2004 during my junior year of high school, 2 years before Rosetta Stoned was released. I turned 37 earlier this year in February. The experience started with a rave appropriately called “Off Yer Nut” on a Sunday, an unusual date given the upcoming work and school week, but my friend organized it so we went, took an ungodly amount of speedy ecstasy which likely propelled my thoughts and played a not insignificant role in my delusions later on, but we'll get to that. It was a smaller crowd at the rave considering it was scheduled to end around 5 am on Monday morning. There were fewer people I knew given the smaller crowd so afterwards, in my quest to avoid going home to parents I ended up following an odd set of characters I did not know well. One was a street kid who had just arrived in the city, just another city the Canadian street kids pass through along the annual winter pilgrimage to Vancouver which is the most habitable city in mainland Canada in the winter. This street kid had dreads filled with hot wheels toy cars, a pacifier, a lighter, and other random shit. He was with another guy I did not know and can no longer remember as well as the one guy I knew prior to the rave. He was a weird older dude in his 30s at the time with a serious case of OCD. I knew him because he was one of the first guys to hook me and my friends up with weed when we were 13-14. He used to hang out at the local spot where weed dealers and street kids would congregate, colloquially known as "The Circle" and he could often be spotted wearing a lab coat and walking somewhat erratically. So a strange group of people to say the least, and no close friends.
So here I am, age 17, heading with these 2 street kids and the OCD lab coat man back to his apartment downtown where I decided to take 3 hits of what I would discover was the most intense LSD I’ve ever come across. Two other friends who I was not with that night all took 3 hits of the same acid that night, it had just arrived in town earlier that day, and we all ended up in the 3 different hospitals around the city, completely independent from each other. When I called my one buddy to let him know what happened he was shocked, he thought I had heard what happened to him and was fucking with him, and I thought he was fucking with me, especially when he said that another one of our buddies had the exact same experience as well. All 3 of us took 3 hits each and ended up strapped down to a bed in 3 different hospitals that same night.
So what led me to my final destination strapped down? After dropping the acid my OCD fellow traveller decided to put on the most horrific movie I can imagine. It was some B-horror movie about a man sent to hell to die over and over again in an endless cycle of death and pain and misery. So that may have contributed to my desire to get the fuck out of there, but it was never a conscious motivating factor. What motivated me was when I began to peak. This coincided with the sun beginning to rise and with the light shining through the window of the apartment on Monday morning when everything clicked. It was the most cliche realization ever. We are all one. Duality creates variation, which creates discernible reality, but everything comes from the same source. Opposites are not in opposition, they are complementary, because they are dependent on each other to create each other's discernible existence, so we are all interconnected. We are all one. And one is peace. Cliche, but some interesting merit to the ideas that have been expressed in Taoism and many spiritual beliefs around the world throughout human history. But I was convinced that because I had figured it all out the purpose of reality had been fulfilled and now all variation, all contrast, all discernible reality would coalesce and collapse into itself as a unified whole. I literally thought I had unlocked the code for all of existence to unite with God. And I was the one. So naturally I had to greet the masses. Did I mention his apartment was downtown and this rave took place Sunday night? Where does that place me geographically and temporally? That's right, downtown, Monday morning, rush hour. Time to greet the masses.
That is how I ended up in the middle of the road during rush hour at the busiest intersection downtown, barefoot, in the middle of traffic, with my arms outstretched to the sky feeling my mind expand into the universe at an accelerating rate that brought me to my knees in an increasingly euphoric ecstasy that is indescribable. The best I can describe it is it felt like a mind orgasm expanding into the universe, at an accelerating rate of intensity and speed. It was the single most amazing experience of my life. Simultaneously the most reckless and traumatic experience of my life. I remember observing police officers and seeing them cycling between male and female, all opposites were cycling together, like a real-time yin-yang superimposed over all of reality, and this reinforced my delusion that I had unlocked the purpose of reality which meant that opposites would coalesce during the process of the universe's re-unification with God. This is what I actually believed was occurring. In reality I was likely approached by 1 male and 1 female officer and removed from the middle of the busiest intersection in the core of the business district downtown.
I was loaded into what I believed at the time was some special container to be carted somewhere important as I was The One compelled to greet the masses but I would soon realize while sober was simply an ambulance. And when I was strapped down to the hospital bed my delusions were reinforced when one of the nurses who caught my eye was someone I recognized. It was an acquaintance who I had met at the after party of the previous rave a couple weeks earlier and he was someone who I had a very intense philosophical discussion about insights from psychedelics that were highly relevant to the delusions I was experiencing. When I ran into him again he described what happened when he saw me in the hospital, he said my eyes instantly locked on to him and I pointed at him with a strong conviction and nodded my head and emphatically stated, "Yes!". He wasn’t aware of the significance of this at the time but from my perspective his presence validated all of my delusions and reassured me that everything made sense. I was the One and he was interconnected with it all based on our prior discussion so all of these signs and coincidences reinforced my megalomaniacal delusions.
Hours later I slowly began to sober up. There was a moment when I had my realization that I “shit the bed”. I began to recognize that I was strapped down to a hospital bed with what I recognized were nurses around me, and that I had just been on a fucking roller coaster ride of a dangerously reckless psychedelic experience. The delusion washed away in an instant and was replaced with fear. I now had to confront the reality that I was strapped down in a hospital bed, I would have to explain this to my parents, all while trying to piece together what in the fuck had just happened. I called a nurse to hold my hand and begged her not to leave while I regained my faculties and came to terms with the reality of the situation. My parents were called, I told them everything, and my parents had police talk to me as an intervention. I wasn’t charged with anything but more importantly I didn’t hurt myself or anyone else. I did cause many people to be late for work on that Monday morning, this was confirmed by at least one friend whose wife called him about some guy on the street, so when I told him what happened he responded, "Oh that was you? My wife was late cuz of you, you crazy bastard! As if that was fucking you! Yeah I heard all about what happened."
It was the most amazing and traumatizing experience of my life. With this context you can imagine what I felt when I heard Rosetta Stoned 2 years late. I have been a massive Tool fan since the day Lateralus was released. Almost 23 years to the day. And I've just right now realized my Rosetta Stoned experience would have been almost exactly 20 years ago to the day. It was sometime in April or May of 2004!
I imagine when I listen to Rosetta Stoned I don't hear the same song as most people. For one, when I hear the line “they chose me, and I didn’t even graduate from fucking high school” it rings differently. To me it's not describing a high school drop out, it’s describing me, and I hadn't even graduated from fucking high school cuz I was still in my junior year! 😂
