My Crush Story

2024.05.21 19:59 AverageRedditEnjoyr My Crush Story

This is not any kind of complete love story with any complete ending it's just collection of few incidents. I am just writing it on the run. I am using dummy name for her let's call her Shree.
So story starts in 7th standard I guess. Once day an aunty approached me while I was going for tution class that she wants to talk to my tuition teacher regarding admission of her daughter because their family recently got shifted to our near by society and while I go for tuition probably she might have seen me.
So from here story starts, next day Aunty was with her daughter "Shree" she introduced me with her and we went to tution as usual she was walking a little far behind us ( me and bro ) and following us to the tution because she didn't know the path but Idk what I had no feeling for her with first sight. Like for a month or two she was attending tution with us we almost never talked to each other because I am very shy person and same with her.
After that vacation started and I went to Mama ke ghar and idk what happened I stated to see her in my dreams like playing badminton in our society compound and talking with her so much and she was always cheering and happy in my dream I slightly thought about it that I might like her and eventually started falling for her.
Incident - 1 I started developing very little little feeling for her and one fine day I she came to me with some project work/ model she wanted to create a solar system with toys 😂 idk what was she expecting and she described the project so so un realistic with those material. I brutally told her that it's not possible like this ( I had no communication skills but I really liked her ).
Incident - 2 We used to play games in compound we have a common society compound ( very complex to understand ) and it was her bday she gifted me and all other kinds "Kaccha Mango" it was very special for me I exactly remember she gave me 3 and I kept in hidden pocket of my school bag and never ever ate it after like 1.5 years Chitiya ( Ant ) aa gai bag mai and I had to throw them I was very upset because like after 1 year of this "gift"(kaccha mango) her family shifted somewhere else it was her first and last gift to me.
Incident - 3 Once we were playing Hide and Seek ( Dabba is Spice idk what it's translation in english ) "Shree" , I and one small kid hide at same place. I saw her so very closely ( not in creepy manner ) her brown eyes was like coconut 😂. I was feeling that time should stop and I can see her indefinitely. If I try to describe more about her I have to make another post so leave it and back to the story. We exchange few words about our study nothing more and I tried to peek and see the status of the compound for the guy who was after us to find us and she told don't take a peek to me and as an obedient friend I instantly pulled back my head and it hit so hard in the corner of the wall that it instantly started to bleed. She started to get panic but I was very calm and said nothing happened to me ( I knew I was bleeding but still I wanted to spend more time with her 🫠). After that neighborhood of that building came and my parents and took me to hospital and I got stitches. While on my way and getting stitches all I was thinking was about her that she must be very scared because of this incident. After this incident Shree never came to compound to play with us.
Incident - 4 We totally lost each other's contact after she shifted another where then I saw in same complex where I was going to tution ( new tution not the older where we were together we changed in 9th standard and she before 9th ) and saw her in the stairs of the tution and I asked her "Do You remember me ?" Shree "No I don't" *Traumatic Background music player inside my heart - "Chann se jo toote sapna ...." * After like 5 seconds she laughed ( her smile was so so so much cute 🫠😭 ) and said " Obviously I remember you " and we exchanged our last smile with each other.
I was scared of proposing her because I had literally 0.1 female interaction with anyone in my entire life and she was "Jain" so I thought she might tell her parents 😭 and never dared to purpose her. I still Miss her a lot and currently don't have any idea or contacts where can I find her but if "Shree" is reading this just i wanted to talk to you ( not going to propose you 😭😂💀 ) just " How are you? "😭
That's it guys that you for reading this I know it's not any well structured story but just my feelings. Thank you all for reading this much lots of love.

2024.05.21 18:31 astrohoe11 Am I wrong for ghosting one of my “friends”?

Am I wrong for soft ghosting one of my “friends”?
Wow, this one might me a long one.
So I moved to (undisclosed location) sometime in the beginning of last year. When I moved here I really had no friends but became heavily involved in this yoga studio I went to and slowly but surely started to make friends/acquaintances with the teacher that instructed me.
From afar she seemed super cool and I became pretty enthralled with her and her life. I would look forward so heavily to going to her classes every week and was quite intrigued by her. I thought she was funny, bubbly, spunky, cool, and always made jokes during class that made me laugh. As months went by I found myself wanting to get closer and closer to her, and she even invited me out one time to one of her “events” she was hosting. Here’s the thing;
It seemed like we had a lot in common and was just generally craving camaraderie and connection. I felt a sense of belonging with her and wanted to expand that energy in my life, and wanted to do anything I could to get closer to her for those reasons. But I guess this is where we have the first red flag;
One day after class, she extended an invitation to me to a meet up of sorts, (I’m being sparing with details just out of fear she might read this) and when she invited me it seemed like it was gonna be this big thing with lots of people invited, and just in general in talking to her it seemed as if she was very well connected and respected within her community, had lots of friends and connects, and I thought this was gonna be a huge thing that I was even lucky to be invited to. I was super stoked and exited about it.
However when the day of the event came, I was super tired and slow to getting up that morning. I figured I would just make my way over whenever I could since it seemed causal and like you could drop in whenever. I also figured there would be more than enough people that no one would really even notice my arrival or departure. (Plus, sometimes it’s chic to be fashionably late ;) ). Well…. I was most definitely wrong.
When I showed up I heard someone excitedly shout my name, which was her, and she waved me down to the “meet up”…. There was literally only one person there and it had been going on for 2+ hours. I was definitely a bit unnerved, but also didn’t want to be rude, and like I said I was just kind of happy to be there and be getting invited to things. But it was kinda like, damn…. Are these all the friends you have?
I had dressed up and looked cute but they were just kind of wearing whatever and I felt awkward and overdressed and also embarrassed now that I was even this late because it was clearly much more intimate than I expected and my arrival/absence was DEFINITELY felt. We had chatted a bit and that was cool but then I remember her confessing me that she had cried to her husband earlier that morning that she was scared nobody was going to show up and how thrilled she was that not only one, but TWO people had showed up and that it felt like she had friends. I wasn’t really sure what to say or make of that.
She also…. The whole time (and mind you, this is our first legitimate interaction out of yoga class) just kind of kept talking maniacally AT me, not to me, and was coming off almost even manic, and she had formed a white crust of spit around her mouth probably from talking so much that I couldn’t look away from. To say the least, I was a bit disturbed coming away from this interaction but I just kept telling myself that I was being too judgmental of her and to give it a chance and that maybe she was just hyper that day and that I had probably had unintentional embarrassing hygiene moments as well. So I keep going to class and that’s that.
There were several other red flag moments between this first interaction and the next one, mostly just her incredibly cringey social media presence that I genuinely almost couldn’t stand to see without feeling like I was withering away inside, but maybe I’ll save that for later. It’s almost like I couldn’t just see that the person I thought was so cool in class and the person I was seeing her be online and outside of class were the same people. But I digress.
She had actually ended up inviting me to go with her on one of her international yoga retreats, and I was actually very excited about this. I had very little time with her in between classes, and my attraction (but also repulsion) with her was growing stronger and I wanted to figure her out and see what she was really about and what the pull I was feeling towards her was about. Plus, I love travelling and just thought it would be fun.
I had a pretty good time, but we didn’t get to talk much, HOWEVER, I do remember this distinct point during the trip where it was myself, 2-3 other fiends I had made, her brother, and her “best friend” who had happened to be her brother’s Gf in a room together, talking. the brother, the best friend, and the other friend I made just all completely started talking shit about her and I was so confused.
I felt super hurt by this actually, bc I felt like I had a inexplicable bond with the teacher who had invited me, she was the reason we were all there in that beautiful place, and I just couldn’t understand why they were choosing to be so negative about someone I thought they had claimed (at least by title) to love. They would say things like “I can’t fucking stand your sister” (one of the friends I made to the brother) and everyone would just sigh and put their hands in their head and be like “I know…. I know. It’s a lot. She’s a lot”. And I didn’t have anything to add to the conversation because I was just so confused and I knew the girl would just be so upset if she heard them saying this. Anyway… that confusion stuck with me for a while after.
Fast forward maybe a month or two, I started hanging out with her more regularly myself outside of class. I would say this is when we became more “friends”. She would invite me to other teachers classes and we would talk a lot about our lives.
I learned how she felt about her close friend and family connections, and how she often felt hurt and betrayed by people close to her and how some of her friends were actually really shady. I just got a general sense of her feeling scapegoated and libeled against by ppl that got close to her and how she had walls up for that reason.
She also shared to me that most of her family was cut off, with the exception of her brother who she had recently rekindled a connection with, hence why he was on that trip. I felt very bad for her and wanted to be a source of comfort and support, and she would often comment on how she felt a sense of camaraderie with me since I also (LITERALLY) had no family and how we have to make our chosen family. This was a sweet sentiment, for sure, but I was still sussing out how I felt about her.
So one day, a mutual friend that had been on the trip with us was having a birthday party and I guess that she was invited to it, too. She sat down next to me and I was SUPER excited to see her as I was craving her energy and hadn’t seen her in some time. But then… idk. She had had a lot to drink. I’m fully aware that she’s kind of a quirky individual, and has a way of socializing which I can sometimes find a bit uncomfortable or even intense, (like the first meetup I spoke of) but this time it was even more and seemed to be heightened by the drinking.
Her husband was sitting on her other side and kept trying to interject and insinuate that maybe she was doing a bit much, but I think she was drunk enough to the point that she just found it funny and had no awareness of how she was coming off. There’s not even a way I can describe it really, but she just seemed a bit obsessive over me and kept making jokes that were literally not funny and seemed to have lost all ability to read the room. I also had noticed that she had only had TWO beers and was acting like this already which I found… really strange.
So at some point she goes to the bathroom, and I also get in line for the bathroom about 5 mins later. When I get up to the bathroom, she’s still in there, and there’s a line of about 2 or 3 people ahead of me. When she exits the bathroom she immediately spots me and rushes up to me and just starts… drunkenly spewing.
I can’t even remember what she was saying, but we were in a pretty high class establishment and I remember her gushing over me and was saying “I just want to let you know that I don’t really have friends or let people close to me in my circle but I just want to let you know that YOU are officially in my circle and you have earned friend status to me and I’ve let you in my circle…” or something like that. And I just kept thinking, who tf even says that??? I’m pretty sure the last time I checked that friendship is a two way street and it’s not just a title we bestow onto some “lucky” person and that’s that. Like girl… let ME decide if I want to be friends too first.
It was partially that, and also the way she was drunkenly spewing was so awkward and embarrassing bc I could tell all the other women in line were like who tf is this bitch and why is she saying all this weird stuff and like, does she even know you?? Lol. Just a very odd interaction which again, I kind of wrote off, but the unsettling feeling kind of just kept growing after that point.
Then, the time that I REALLY knew something was up came up about a month later, but there are still some key details of this story that are missing. Perhaps I will discuss them later.
SO. About a month later, she invited me last minute to this concert of sorts. When I got there, I was super excited to be there, the vibes were amazing and we were having so much fun. But she had definitely had a lot, A LOT to drink. I didn’t mind at first, because everyone there seemed severely under the influence, but she would just start randomly kind of lashing out at people in the crowd and she thought it was funny? She first loudly and audibly started making fun of some guys shoes in front of us, and was trying to laugh with me as if I would join in, but when his girl friend turned around and shot her a dirty look, she had the nerve to be self conscious and mad about it. She would loudly poke fun at other people in the crowd too, but not in a ha-ha way, just in a straight up mean and asshole way and I could not understand why she would even do that or why she thought that was funny.
Again, I kind of just awkwardly laughed and brushed it off. But when all was said and done and the concert was closing, she enthusiastically invited me back to go to her house and soak in her hot tub. I kept saying are you sure?? But she was like please, PLEASE come, we have weed, we’ll smoke you out and other things and I wanted to continue the vibes because it sounded fun. And then….. completely downhill.
I had arrived back at their place before she did, but as soon as I saw them go in I knocked. When I walked in, she was pale faced up on the floor, non verbal, pretty much motionless, and staring at the ceiling. I was like oh no… it seemed like she got a bit too much to drink. I waited patiently there for a few mins, unsure of what to do as I had just drove for 45 mins and I was still 25 mins in the opposite direction away from home.
I kind of just sat around, and hoped that she would sober up. I asked if she was drunk… she said no. She ran to her bathroom multiple times while her husband (a complete socially awkward case himself) tried to take care of her while she threw up. I asked her if she puked and she also said no. So I didn’t really know what to do. I was trying to offer support/ empathy but she just kept denying any claims of anything being amiss. Her husband left to pick up a pizza and I probably just should’ve left but I’m telling you I had no idea how to exit their house without making it weird or awkward. And I also was hungry. So I just stayed… and waited for the pizza.
What happened in those 20-30 mins, I don’t even know if I can fully explain. She just became… so FUCKING WEIRD. she clearly was embarrassed that I was seeing her drunk, and I think was trying to over compensate. But she just turned into an absolute freak show and I’ve never been more uncomfortable in my life.
She started hoola hooping in my face, and making these weird gremlin faces and noises at me, fell to the floor, rolled round on the floor while continuing to make the noises, convulsed on the floor, but tried to do it in a funny way, tried to make an interpretive dance for me… I’ve truly never experienced something so uncomfortable in my life. I probably do sound like an asshole, but I swear you would just have to be there to see how a) gross and b) weird and actually scary it was. I was genuinely frightened.
I’ve never seen anyone act like that and I didn’t want to make her more uncomfortable or weird by showing her how clearly uncomfortable I actually was. so I just sat there and tried to laugh. But it probably came off as more of a grimace. And for the record, this woman is 33. I am 26. It was just. Obscene.
And she’s tried to act like and say multiple times that she’s like my “big sister”. Now I’ve seen a lot of drunk behavior, but not this. I wolfed down my pizza, and so did she, and she started to get even more philosophical and weird on me, showing me songs and art which were quite frankly some of the worst things I’ve ever heard in my life, and I left as soon as I could.
I was so shaken and disturbed coming away from this, because like I said earlier, I thought she was a cool girl, but honestly her behavior and lack of control over herself completely terrified me. And it’s not like she was drinking liquor, it was just damn IPAs. And I just did not know what to do.
Some details I will try to add to this story, even though I know it’s monolithic at this point , is that 2 months prior to this she had gotten fired from the studio she worked at.
She had a mental breakdown during class because the manager was being mean to her, and he fired her on the spot. I remember being so angry with the owner, (honestly he IS a piece of shit human being) but I thought he was being sexist by calling her mentally unstable and I thought the way he handled things was unfair.
I went so far as to boycott the studio and completely remove myself from it in support of her and followed her to her new one. After the drunk #2 incident, I didn’t hang out with her very much, and only saw her during her class as I was locked into a certain number of classes I had paid for.
I remember her telling me that she had just started at ANOTHER studio, and got fired 3 days after on her birthday and she was talking about how unfair it was and how much of an asshole that new girl was for firing her… and I believed her. AGAIN.
I went so far as to block that girl on Instagram too, but deep down I kind of knew that she had probably just been fired bc let’s face it… as I was starting to discover, she WAS a lot. and the studio was in an upper class area , catered towards more upper echelon people, and I just don’t think she was fitting that image. I lent her an empathetic ear, because that’s all I would want in that situation.
But where she fucked up was sending me screenshot proof of the text exchange between her and that girl, thinking I would take her side, and later sending me screenshots of another conversation she had with the OTHER manager. She told me that this new girl fired her for bringing her husband to class. In my mind I was like, oh no, is she racist!?! Because her husband was black. But no, that’s not what I read at all.
It was the most reasonable, level headed response to someone ever, and laid out multiple offenses and reasons she didn’t want her at the studio. The reasons were honestly so embarrassing that I don’t know why she would send it to me and think I would side with her. She recently also sent me messages with the other boss and the last thing he says to her is “I hope you get help for your mental illness because whatever you have is serious and will impact all your relationships and business and things that you do”. And honestly I can now say in retrospect that those were the truest words ever spoken.
When I read these texts, I had a look back at my whole relationship with and how she would always paint everyone else to be the villain and how everyone is so mean to HER… and the whole time the common denominator was her. It was always her. And it made me rethink everything.
I’ve even had extensive conversations with some of the other people on her trip that were talking shit and couldn’t stand her and they all told me the same things. How it seemed like she was the coolest person ever and had her shit together and seemed like she was going places… but deep down she was just an absolute mess and pushed everyone away from her. And I no longer felt like I was going crazy.
But like I said, she formed a really close bond with me (I think from her perspective) and said she felt like my big sister and family, and shared all these stories about her feeling isolated and shut out by people, but now here I am, doing the exact same thing to her. Icing her out of my life. And I just wanna ask you guys…
Am the asshole?

2024.05.21 18:28 CrochetLolly Book About Character Documenting (Extinct?) Fantasy Creatures

Plot: The main character (a man) was travelling around and documenting strange creatures he came across (or maybe he found bones of the extinct creatures and was trying to figure out what made them extinct?). Every so often the book would have a black and white sketch of a strange creature he came across. It would then describe the character's findings about the creature (how it lived, how it became extinct, etc.)

Notable Characters: The main character was a man who was an adventurer of some sort. He also had a strange dog-like creature as a pet. This dog could change colors and become stinky at will. I vaguely remember there being a lady during a later part of the book that became the main character's girlfriend? But this was not a romance book.

Genre: Fiction, Fantasy (but not super magical), Adventure

Physical Description:
The book had a long title. Somehow I remember the title being something along the lines of "Mr. _____ Journal/Diary/Adventure of Strange Creatures", but I could be remembering wrong. The cover was not particularly detailed. I think it basically just featured the title of the book in large letters on the center. Maybe a blueish or grayish background? I think it was a soft-cover book.
When/Where it was set:
I don't know what time period the book was set in. I think the main character probably travelled to some secluded island to document strange creatures so there wasn't much civilization or other human characters in the book. I also don't remember there being any special gadgets or technology, but I could be wrong.

Book length: The book was not a book for really really young kids because it had a lot more text than pictures. I think the book was maybe about 100-200 pages or so, so it wasn't super long or super short.
Language:
I read the book in English and I live in the USA. It was probably the original language.
When I read the book:
I read the book sometime around 2015-2018. I was in later middle-school or early high-school (I was probably between 13-16 years old). I didn't do much reading so I imagine it was probably nothing too advanced or difficult to read for that age group.

Book location:
I rented the book from a library in United States.

Creatures in book:
The creatures were not the typical fantasy creatures like dragons, griffon's, etc. They were completely original. I remember 4 creatures in the book.
There was some kind of troll creature that lived near the ocean. The trolls found and collected magnetic rocks. I think the magnetic rocks would lure fish closer to them or maybe they were a status symbol of some sort? But gradually the magnets made the trolls get shorter and shorter because of their strong magnetic pull. The magnets probably made the troll creature get extinct because the trolls became too short.
There was also a really big creature with a tiny head. I think the creature was called a "Pinhead".
There was also a cute dandelion puff bunny. They were so light-weight and small that they would get carried away in the wind. I think the bones of this creature were so small and lightweight that the main character almost didn't discover them.
And finally there was a dog-like creature which became the main characters pet. This is probably the only creature that was not extinct?
Notable scene:
I remember one scene where the main character found someone he liked. But his dog-like pet was either jealous or bored, so he turned green and stinky to scare away the main character's girlfriend. I believe the main character then had to go and asked his pet something along the lines of: "Was that really necessary?" The dog could not talk.

Thanks for any help!

2024.05.21 16:10 CrochetLolly Book with Fantasy Creatures and Plot

Please help me find a book I read from the library sometime around 2015-2018.
The book had a long title. Somehow I remember the title being something along the lines of "Mr. _____ Journal/Diary/Adventure of Strange Creatures", but I could be remembering wrong since I have been unable to find it. The cover was not particularly detailed. I think it basically just featured the title of the book in large letters on the center. Maybe a blueish or grayish background?

2024.05.21 06:01 Fantastic-Morning183 My boyfriend lacks common sense (maybe)

I met my boyfriend(24 M) during college and we began dating this past December. Some background info on him is that he grew up in poverty in Myanmar, lived in Malaysia for a few years, then came to the U.S. on refugee status when he was 17. He is currently 24. When he came to the U.S. he did not know the language and of course it must have been a culture shock compared to what he was used to. (This background info is important for later) Things in the relationship have been going well. He treats me well, fiercely loyal, and checks all the boxes for an ideal partner except for one thing. He seems to lack common sense that a 24 year old should know. I'm open minded and maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's the fact he didn't grow up in the U.S. that keeps him from knowing things that I feel like he should. Here's some examples of things that seem like common sense to me, but he doesn't know. He didn't know energy drinks are bad for you. He bought me a baby first foods set for Valentines day. Yes you heard that right. I saw it in a store and said it looked so cute so he decided to get it for me for Valentines day complete with baby spoons and all, also he didn't know you have to schedule chiropractor appointments instead of just walking in. I also have to explain what many words mean. Which to a large extent, I don't mind. However, things like humor get lost in translation and I have to either use different word choice or explain things that are typically simple for other people to understand. I'm not trying to sound harsh or critical. However, when I imagine a life partner, I imagine someone who understands my word choice, humor, and occasional sarcasm. I've been practicing patience. He's eager to learn and maybe I should continue doing this and teaching him. But honestly, this issue has begun to really bother me. He's smart in other areas. He is amazing at the drums, working with his hands, math, soccer. But it seems like some basic knowledge and language barriers are some challenges. I chalked up him not understanding things to the language barrier but now I'm not so sure. I'm considering breaking up because I'm having difficulty seeing a successful future with him. Also, if I were told (for some hypothetical reason) that I had to marry him, I'm not sure that I'd be thrilled. Also, if I were to breakup, what in the world would I even tell him for the reason? There's no way I could be honest. I do not want to break his heart. He's too good and pure for that

2024.05.21 04:58 astrohoe11 Am I wrong for soft ghosting one of my “friends”?

Wow, this one might me a long one.
So I moved to (undisclosed location) sometime in the beginning of last year. When I moved here I really had no friends but became heavily involved in this yoga studio I went to and slowly but surely started to make friends/acquaintances with the teacher that instructed me.

I had dressed up and looked cute but they were just kind of wearing whatever and I felt awkward and overdressed and also embarrassed now that I was even this late because it was clearly much more intimate than I expected and my arrival/absence was DEFINITELY felt. We had chatted a bit and that was cool but then I remember her confessing me that she had cried to her husband earlier that morning that she was scared nobody was going to show up and how thrilled she was that not only one, but TWO people had showed up and that it felt like she had friends. I wasn’t really sure what to say or make of that.
She also…. The whole time (and mind you, this is our first legitimate interaction out of yoga class) just kind of kept talking maniacally AT me, not to me, and was coming off almost even manic, and she had formed a white crust of spit around her mouth probably from talking so much that I couldn’t look away from. To say the least, I was a bit disturbed coming away from this interaction but I just kept telling myself that I was being too judgmental of her and to give it a chance and that maybe she was just hyper that day and that I had probably had unintentional embarrassing hygiene moments as well. So I keep going to class and that’s that.
There were several other red flag moments between this first interaction and the next one, mostly just her incredibly cringey social media presence that I genuinely almost couldn’t stand to see without feeling like I was withering away inside, but maybe I’ll save that for later. It’s almost like I couldn’t just see that the person I thought was so cool in class and the person I was seeing her be online and outside of class were the same people. But I digress.
She had actually ended up inviting me to go with her on one of her international yoga retreats, and I was actually very excited about this. I had very little time with her in between classes, and my attraction (but also repulsion) with her was growing stronger and I wanted to figure her out and see what she was really about and what the pull I was feeling towards her was about. Plus, I love travelling and just thought it would be fun.
I had a pretty good time, but we didn’t get to talk much, HOWEVER, I do remember this distinct point during the trip where it was myself, 2-3 other fiends I had made, her brother, and her “best friend” who had happened to be her brother’s Gf in a room together, talking. the brother, the best friend, and the other friend I made just all completely started talking shit about her and I was so confused.
I felt super hurt by this actually, bc I felt like I had a inexplicable bond with the teacher who had invited me, she was the reason we were all there in that beautiful place, and I just couldn’t understand why they were choosing to be so negative about someone I thought they had claimed (at least by title) to love. They would say things like “I can’t fucking stand your sister” (one of the friends I made to the brother) and everyone would just sigh and put their hands in their head and be like “I know…. I know. It’s a lot. She’s a lot”. And I didn’t have anything to add to the conversation because I was just so confused and I knew the girl would just be so upset if she heard them saying this. Anyway… that confusion stuck with me for a while after.
Fast forward maybe a month or two, I started hanging out with her more regularly myself outside of class. I would say this is when we became more “friends”. She would invite me to other teachers classes and we would talk a lot about our lives.
I learned how she felt about her close friend and family connections, and how she often felt hurt and betrayed by people close to her and how some of her friends were actually really shady. I just got a general sense of her feeling scapegoated and libeled against by ppl that got close to her and how she had walls up for that reason.
She also shared to me that most of her family was cut off, with the exception of her brother who she had recently rekindled a connection with, hence why he was on that trip. I felt very bad for her and wanted to be a source of comfort and support, and she would often comment on how she felt a sense of camaraderie with me since I also (LITERALLY) had no family and how we have to make our chosen family. This was a sweet sentiment, for sure, but I was still sussing out how I felt about her.
So one day, a mutual friend that had been on the trip with us was having a birthday party and I guess that she was invited to it, too. She sat down next to me and I was SUPER excited to see her as I was craving her energy and hadn’t seen her in some time. But then… idk. She had had a lot to drink. I’m fully aware that she’s kind of a quirky individual, and has a way of socializing which I can sometimes find a bit uncomfortable or even intense, (like the first meetup I spoke of) but this time it was even more and seemed to be heightened by the drinking.
Her husband was sitting on her other side and kept trying to interject and insinuate that maybe she was doing a bit much, but I think she was drunk enough to the point that she just found it funny and had no awareness of how she was coming off. There’s not even a way I can describe it really, but she just seemed a bit obsessive over me and kept making jokes that were literally not funny and seemed to have lost all ability to read the room. I also had noticed that she had only had TWO beers and was acting like this already which I found… really strange.
So at some point she goes to the bathroom, and I also get in line for the bathroom about 5 mins later. When I get up to the bathroom, she’s still in there, and there’s a line of about 2 or 3 people ahead of me. When she exits the bathroom she immediately spots me and rushes up to me and just starts… drunkenly spewing.
I can’t even remember what she was saying, but we were in a pretty high class establishment and I remember her gushing over me and was saying “I just want to let you know that I don’t really have friends or let people close to me in my circle but I just want to let you know that YOU are officially in my circle and you have earned friend status to me and I’ve let you in my circle…” or something like that. And I just kept thinking, who tf even says that??? I’m pretty sure the last time I checked that friendship is a two way street and it’s not just a title we bestow onto some “lucky” person and that’s that. Like girl… let ME decide if I want to be friends too first.
It was partially that, and also the way she was drunkenly spewing was so awkward and embarrassing bc I could tell all the other women in line were like who tf is this bitch and why is she saying all this weird stuff and like, does she even know you?? Lol. Just a very odd interaction which again, I kind of wrote off, but the unsettling feeling kind of just kept growing after that point.
Then, the time that I REALLY knew something was up came up about a month later, but there are still some key details of this story that are missing. Perhaps I will discuss them later.
SO. About a month later, she invited me last minute to this concert of sorts. When I got there, I was super excited to be there, the vibes were amazing and we were having so much fun. But she had definitely had a lot, A LOT to drink. I didn’t mind at first, because everyone there seemed severely under the influence, but she would just start randomly kind of lashing out at people in the crowd and she thought it was funny? She first loudly and audibly started making fun of some guys shoes in front of us, and was trying to laugh with me as if I would join in, but when his girl friend turned around and shot her a dirty look, she had the nerve to be self conscious and mad about it. She would loudly poke fun at other people in the crowd too, but not in a ha-ha way, just in a straight up mean and asshole way and I could not understand why she would even do that or why she thought that was funny.
Again, I kind of just awkwardly laughed and brushed it off. But when all was said and done and the concert was closing, she enthusiastically invited me back to go to her house and soak in her hot tub. I kept saying are you sure?? But she was like please, PLEASE come, we have weed, we’ll smoke you out and other things and I wanted to continue the vibes because it sounded fun. And then….. completely downhill.
I had arrived back at their place before she did, but as soon as I saw them go in I knocked. When I walked in, she was pale faced up on the floor, non verbal, pretty much motionless, and staring at the ceiling. I was like oh no… it seemed like she got a bit too much to drink. I waited patiently there for a few mins, unsure of what to do as I had just drove for 45 mins and I was still 25 mins in the opposite direction away from home.
I kind of just sat around, and hoped that she would sober up. I asked if she was drunk… she said no. She ran to her bathroom multiple times while her husband (a complete socially awkward case himself) tried to take care of her while she threw up. I asked her if she puked and she also said no. So I didn’t really know what to do. I was trying to offer support/ empathy but she just kept denying any claims of anything being amiss. Her husband left to pick up a pizza and I probably just should’ve left but I’m telling you I had no idea how to exit their house without making it weird or awkward. And I also was hungry. So I just stayed… and waited for the pizza.
What happened in those 20-30 mins, I don’t even know if I can fully explain. She just became… so FUCKING WEIRD. she clearly was embarrassed that I was seeing her drunk, and I think was trying to over compensate. But she just turned into an absolute freak show and I’ve never been more uncomfortable in my life.
She started hoola hooping in my face, and making these weird gremlin faces and noises at me, fell to the floor, rolled round on the floor while continuing to make the noises, convulsed on the floor, but tried to do it in a funny way, tried to make an interpretive dance for me… I’ve truly never experienced something so uncomfortable in my life. I probably do sound like an asshole, but I swear you would just have to be there to see how a) gross and b) weird and actually scary it was. I was genuinely frightened.
I’ve never seen anyone act like that and I didn’t want to make her more uncomfortable or weird by showing her how clearly uncomfortable I actually was. so I just sat there and tried to laugh. But it probably came off as more of a grimace. And for the record, this woman is 33. I am 26. It was just. Obscene.
And she’s tried to act like and say multiple times that she’s like my “big sister”. Now I’ve seen a lot of drunk behavior, but not this. I wolfed down my pizza, and so did she, and she started to get even more philosophical and weird on me, showing me songs and art which were quite frankly some of the worst things I’ve ever heard in my life, and I left as soon as I could.
I was so shaken and disturbed coming away from this, because like I said earlier, I thought she was a cool girl, but honestly her behavior and lack of control over herself completely terrified me. And it’s not like she was drinking liquor, it was just damn IPAs. And I just did not know what to do.
Some details I will try to add to this story, even though I know it’s monolithic at this point , is that 2 months prior to this she had gotten fired from the studio she worked at.
She had a mental breakdown during class because the manager was being mean to her, and he fired her on the spot. I remember being so angry with the owner, (honestly he IS a piece of shit human being) but I thought he was being sexist by calling her mentally unstable and I thought the way he handled things was unfair.
I went so far as to boycott the studio and completely remove myself from it in support of her and followed her to her new one. After the drunk #2 incident, I didn’t hang out with her very much, and only saw her during her class as I was locked into a certain number of classes I had paid for.
I remember her telling me that she had just started at ANOTHER studio, and got fired 3 days after on her birthday and she was talking about how unfair it was and how much of an asshole that new girl was for firing her… and I believed her. AGAIN.
I went so far as to block that girl on Instagram too, but deep down I kind of knew that she had probably just been fired bc let’s face it… as I was starting to discover, she WAS a lot. and the studio was in an upper class area , catered towards more upper echelon people, and I just don’t think she was fitting that image. I lent her an empathetic ear, because that’s all I would want in that situation.
But where she fucked up was sending me screenshot proof of the text exchange between her and that girl, thinking I would take her side, and later sending me screenshots of another conversation she had with the OTHER manager. She told me that this new girl fired her for bringing her husband to class. In my mind I was like, oh no, is she racist!?! Because her husband was black. But no, that’s not what I read at all.
It was the most reasonable, level headed response to someone ever, and laid out multiple offenses and reasons she didn’t want her at the studio. The reasons were honestly so embarrassing that I don’t know why she would send it to me and think I would side with her. She recently also sent me messages with the other boss and the last thing he says to her is “I hope you get help for your mental illness because whatever you have is serious and will impact all your relationships and business and things that you do”. And honestly I can now say in retrospect that those were the truest words ever spoken.
When I read these texts, I had a look back at my whole relationship with and how she would always paint everyone else to be the villain and how everyone is so mean to HER… and the whole time the common denominator was her. It was always her. And it made me rethink everything.
I’ve even had extensive conversations with some of the other people on her trip that were talking shit and couldn’t stand her and they all told me the same things. How it seemed like she was the coolest person ever and had her shit together and seemed like she was going places… but deep down she was just an absolute mess and pushed everyone away from her. And I no longer felt like I was going crazy.
But like I said, she formed a really close bond with me (I think from her perspective) and said she felt like my big sister and family, and shared all these stories about her feeling isolated and shut out by people, but now here I am, doing the exact same thing to her. Icing her out of my life. And I just wanna ask you guys…
Am the asshole?

2024.05.21 02:15 bloodblush Celebrating Wins

I've had a few small wins lately that I'd like to be able to talk about!
Had a low moment last week on Wednesday where I caught myself monitoring my (LDR) girlfriend's online status and desperately hoping she'd call. It was a very reassurance needing night and I felt low. It happens at a frequency of about once a week now, which is better than daily.
I made the decision to delete the discord app after this so I couldn't check her activity while away from my PC. I have stuck to this.
She was very busy on Friday so I left her to it, did some gardening and went to see family, as well as did some productivity related stuff I'd been putting off. She called me that evening to tell me about it and catch up while getting ready to go out, and then I left her to it again to enjoy her night (was inundated with cute drunk messages all night though lol).
On Saturday, I went to a friend's house to enjoy the hot tub she hired. She had offered to let me stay, and for a few days I was debating it because if I stayed out I wouldn't be available to call my gf. But I decided to stay over. I felt so present with my friend, wasn't checking my phone as much and had a lovely day and night.
On Sunday, I decided to stay for a second night when she offered, and continued to make the most of my time with my friend.
Which leads me to today, Monday, and I'm really proud of myself for this one. I spoke to my girlfriend in the morning for an hour or so, which was nice, and then enjoyed the hot tub for a while longer before going home. She had started a new game today and was really into it, so she wasn't checking her phone much. I asked if she wanted to call at night, it took her 4 hours to respond saying we'd call in a bit. I started overthinking really badly. Thinking that she just didn't want to talk to me. Being scared that my anxieties were evident to her over text (they definitely weren't). Scared I was ruining things by feeling this way. I was falling into old patterns of planning to stay up as long as possible to get the chance to call, even whilst knowing she'd likely get so absorbed in her game that she'd lose track of time and forget. I was hoping she'd message to say she didn't want to call just so I could have permission to sleep. After doing some meditation and reading, I started to feel tired. It got to 1am and I decided that actually, I'm not going to wait. I'll let her know I'm sleeping, wish that she has fun and say I love her. She replied apologising for losing track of time and I told her not to be silly, I'm glad she's having fun and we'd hang tomorrow, to which she said absolutely and that she loved me.
I can't believe I just put myself first and also willingly passed on waiting for a chance to spend time together. And you know what's crazy? Throughout this weekend, we've actually felt closer than ever. Working on things is really paying off, and I'm glad. She's able to have more trust in me and love me more openly than ever, and I'm able to have more of my own life and trust myself.
Right now, I could be losing sleep anxiously staring at her activity status for hours upon hours. Instead I'm in bed feeling secure and ready to sleep. I feel good.

2024.05.20 23:37 SeahawksFan233 Amazing Race 36 Team write-ups/opinions

So Season 36 is in the books. Kind of crazy that there have been 36 seasons of the show now. Now I honestly had no idea until after the premiere that this season was in fact filmed before 35, and was still sort of a Covid season, with no airports and staggered start times, as well as an abnormal route. While this season wasn’t as restrictive as the last few before 35, it was still noticeable. Not leaving the Americas was rough, but I think they did a decent job of it. They still had a lot of cool locations to work with, I especially enjoyed the Caribbean legs in Barbados and the Dominican Republic, two places we’ve never seen and a region we’ve only seen maybe twice in the whole show (Jamaica is the only other Caribbean location I recall). The challenges were overall not too bad. They’re still not quite what they used to be but I think they’ve improved in that regard recently. They really need to work on the Detours though, there were some this season that seemed so insanely unbalanced (The Jeep one in leg 3 seemed impossible). As for the cast, I really liked it. No gimmick teams at all, just a lot of normal people. Even though about half of these teams could have been first boot material on many other seasons (it took us until the final 6 on a 13 team season to be left with competent teams), it led to some extreme entertainment in the early legs getting to see some amazing incompetence. The winners were satisfying, even if very anticlimactic. Overall, this was a decent season, somewhere in the middle of the rankings. The biggest drag on it was probably the longer episodes. This season was filmed as a regular, 60 minute episode season, and most of these episodes could really drag and had obvious filler in them. Anyway, lets get to the teams.

Maya & Rohan: Just like last season, the superfans were gone first. Not a great look for that demographic, and a stark reminder of how knowledge of the show means almost nothing. They were really sweet and it was great to see how excited they were to be on the show, especially Rohan. It honestly does kinda suck to finally go on the Amazing Race and then be the first out and only go to Mexico. What did them in was bad navigation, especially on the way to the first clue. Getting stuck at the dead end and having to turn around was quite funny. Not much else to say, having to fight for screentime with 12 other teams is hard.
Chris & Mary: I have to say I liked casting a team like this. They kinda stopped doing it for a while with a bunch of young influencer casts but going back to having some sacrificial lamb teams that just have no chance is great. Seriously they must have cast them knowing they’d go quick because I don’t think Chris would be able to handle a lot of the physicality we saw in this season, even in the next leg climbing up all those steps. When he fell right at the starting line I knew it was gonna be rough, and then in their boot episode he almost vomited just from walking around. They were very sweet though, they had a cute relationship and Mary was so nice and patient with him. I think they knew they were never going to win and were just trying to enjoy themselves. Despite being extremely weak physically, what slowed them down a lot was bad navigation, and I think they definitely could have survived the leg had they done a little better in that regard. Anyways, they were a good addition to the season and I think fulfilled the role casting wanted them to have
Anthony & Bailey: I loved these guys. Yes I’m sure some people don’t like them for how woefully bad and nonchalant they were at the race, but once again they were probably cast for their entertainment value, which they had. All their airhead moments were very funny to me, and it was enjoyable to just see them bumble around for a few legs. Even I was surprised how early they went though, I thought they were athletic enough to last until the final 8 or so, but their indecisiveness at the Detour is what killed them. The Detour that episode was insanely imbalanced, the Jeep Detour seemed extremely difficult, I just have no idea why they went back to it without even trying the cooking. Had they not done that they almost certainly would have survived the leg. I was really hoping to see them and their antics for a bit longer, but they were just so incompetent they had to go. They made a fun addition to the first three episodes though.
Michelle & Sean: The fact they lasted as long as they did showed what a trainwreck season this was. From being bad jumping through ropes despite owning a double dutch business, to doing the challenges out of order, to taking forever to go down a hill, to the disaster of their last leg, they were BAD. They were perfectly fine people, but man in terms of the race they had nothing going for them. They were weak physically, mentally, and navigationally. Ultimately what did them in was Michelle being totally lost at the Roadblock. I don’t even think she ever finished it from the looks of it. I did feel bad for Sean going down the hill because you could tell he was genuinely terrified, but it’s the Amazing Race, and having to watch that was kind of pathetic. Having Phil jump rope after they were eliminated was cute. Once again though, perfectly fine people and it was fun to watch them bumble through a few legs, but they never had a chance.
Kishori & Karishma: Very fun team. I definitely see why people didn’t like them as they could be quite annoying, but I mostly found them entertaining. Definitely wasn’t rooting for them, but it was clear they really had no shot. They just brought a general level of silliness to a season that was already full of a lot of silliness and incompetence. It’s honestly impressive they lasted as long as they did, given how incompetent they were. They just messed up a lot of little things, like not putting on the outfit for the roadblock in the first leg or skipping a clue in leg 2. By the time their last leg came around they just couldn’t keep up with the competition, their slowness at the Roadblock especially is what did them in. Think they went at the perfect time, I think they definitely could have started to get more on my nerves if they lasted longer.
Derek & Shelisa: One of my favorite teams of the season. At first I was rooting for them because they seemed like a likable older couple, and I’m always a sucker for older teams. But then as time went on I started to like them for a different reason: It became evident how much Derek sucks. Despite talking a big game and acting all macho, Derek was an extremely incompetent and poor player. Just to hear him talk himself up so much and then fail at almost everything their last few legs, especially the last one was great. He got lost all the time (that was probably on Shelisa too though) and then just sucked at some of those challenges, like the throwing Detour in their last leg, and then he even was tapping out at the bike Detour they switched too! And whatever chance they still had was gone after he struggled so much at the Roadblock. Shelisa seemed perfectly fine though and had the patience of a saint dealing with this guy. I don’t think Derek is a bad guy or anything though, but I kinda enjoyed seeing him get some humble pie.
Sunny & Bizzy: A fun underdog team. Basically their whole time in the race they were at the back of the pack, but the fact they hung on as long as they did was quite impressive. They had some clutch moments where they were able to save themselves from a likely elimination, like in legs 4 and 5 where they were in a pretty clear last and were able to make up ground at the roadblock. They had perhaps the funniest moment of this season when they failed miserably at the Detour in leg 4, with, and I quote, “Mama rat took baby rat skiing around the world, they did some yoga, and that was a positive experience.” That was priceless. They were just a badass team all around, being two firefighter moms. Ultimately though their biggest weakness was navigation, and by their last leg the competition was just too tough for them to keep up, especially with how much they struggled to find the Detour clue.
Angie & Danny: They will probably go down as one of the most unfair eliminations in Amazing Race history. The fact that they got delayed up to 90 minutes because of a production error was absolutely ridiculous, and they honestly should have gotten some sort of time credit or non-elimination for it, even though I’m sure that would have messed up the rest of the race. It sucks even more that this happened to such a likable and rootable team. Danny was probably one of the strongest individual race players we’ve ever seen, being amazing with directions and good at basically every challenge he did. Angie was definitely along for the ride, and she struggled quite a bit with being able to keep up and in Roadblocks, but I do think she improved as the race went on. I was always skeptical of their alliance with Amber & Vinny and Rod & Leticia, but ultimately it seems like it was the right idea as the other two teams did help them a few times when I thought they would just ditch them when the tables were turned. I really hope they, or at least Danny with somebody else, can come back because his love for the race and wonderful personality and attitude really were a bright spot in this somewhat mediocre season.

5th. Yvonne & Melissa: Despite lasting so long on a season with 90 minute episodes, there’s really not much I can say about them. Historically shows like Survivor and to a lesser extent The Amazing Race have had some pretty uneven edits that just shaft some teams, but with more equitable attitudes now and longer runtimes we have seen these shows get a lot more even handed with their edits. But Yvonne & Melissa were basically the one exception this season, and I’m not sure why. My biggest guess is that 1. They just weren’t that interesting and 2. They were always in the middle of the pack. They mentioned this in their last leg that they were purposefully flying under the radar and being quiet, which doesn’t really translate well to TV. And the middle of the pack always gets the least attention in an episode, especially early on in the season, and the fact that literally every leg they were smack dab in the middle just really hurt them. In leg 3 I don’t think they had any airtime at all. They were fine though, they were nice enough and a little snarky which I liked. I just wish they told their story a little more, like in their last leg when Melissa just dropped that she did security for Joe Biden, like what?? Either way though they really had no chance on their last leg after the first roadblock. There was very little opportunity to pass teams after that, even though they weren’t too far behind Amber & Vinny so had they finished the baseball roadblock a little faster they might have been able to pull it out. Their elimination episode was just a little anticlimactic because I just knew there was no way such an invisible team would be in the finale.
4th. Amber & Vinny: My guess is that this was the most disliked team this season, but I didn’t mind them. It’s funny because I used to hate all the fighting couples on the Amazing Race, but now to have one again is kind of a breath of fresh air, just like on Survivor there’s just so much positivity on the show now that it’s a little boring/annoying sometimes. To be clear as well, Amber & Vinny didn’t even fight that bad, but they did have some good drama moments. I don’t think Vinny is a bad guy but he seems to just naturally be kind of an asshole, but you can see him try to fight that and reign it in. Amber seemed nice if a little sensitive, which combined with Vinny’s personality led to lots of the arguments. They did seem to love each other and the proposal when they were eliminated was cute. As for what did them in, they had almost no margin for error on their last leg. Having the staggered start times on a leg with little opportunity to make up time put them at a disadvantage, and they were just a little too slow, especially at the drink making detour. If they had just done that a little better they likely would have pulled ahead of Ricky & Cesar. It was for the best though because even though I didn’t dislike this team I was definitely rooting for Ricky & Cesar more in that matchup.

Rod & Leticia: Surprisingly ended up being my favorite team this season. Ricky & Cesar just weren’t as fun for me, and I honestly wasn’t that crazy about Angie so she dragged that team down a little bit. At the start I didn’t think much of these two, with Rod seemingly like just some jock and Leticia seeming pretty shallow. But as time went on I began to really like these two, Leticia proved to be a pretty smart individual and Rod’s personality and positivity was just infectious. His work-hard play-hard attitude was just great, in many cases it wasn’t his big muscles that pushed him through but just a strong drive and determination. They were an extremely well functioning couple, knowing each other’s strengths and weaknesses and using that to their advantage, and they almost never lost their patience with each other. I was really rooting for them to win, but given Rod’s status as an NFL player I doubt they needed the money as much so it was okay. What did them in was a final leg not designed for their strong suits, as it ended with two straight memory challenges and then a puzzle, with them not doing great at any of them, especially Rod at the Declaration of Independence challenge, it seemed like they were there a LONG time, given that Juan & Shane went to another state and were still able to pass them later on. Really fun team though.
Juan & Shane: Nice guys. Unfortunately not much more to say than that. They were probably the team I wanted to win the least out of the final 3, but it didn’t come from any dislike. It’s just we had just seen the young fit guys win the race, and I was ready for something different. They had a cool story though and you could just tell what great friends these guys were. They got along and knew how to work with each other, which likely came from being in the military together. I really liked Juan in particular, he definitely seemed to carry the team more than Shane, was a really down to earth guy, and had an interesting story about his upbringing in Colombia, which I wish we had learned more about. These guys were a very well rounded team who performed well basically through the whole race, and I think they would have gotten more credit for that had they not been overshadowed by the race monsters that were Ricky & Cesar. Their decision to do the seaweed detour in Barbados was an especially good decision that likely saved them that leg. They definitely would have had a shot the last leg though had they not gotten so lost finding the cheesesteak restaurants, which was basically entirely the fault of that random guy saying they were pizza places, lol. The fact that they went all the way to New Jersey and still rebounded for a second place finish was very impressive though.
Ricky & Cesar: The most dominant team in Amazing Race history? Seriously, it was insane how these guys absolutely dominated from start to finish, with the one exception of the second to last leg where they had a close call with Amber & Vinny after really struggling at the windsurfing roadblock. Other than that it’s hard to think of many other times they even somewhat struggled, I guess maybe the rally car challenge in the megaleg? But the fact they were able to beast at such a wide variety of challenges was super impressive, especially in a 13 team season, never finishing outside the top 3, and only once outside the top 2 is insane. They were such a nice team too, they were so sweet and friendly to everyone they interacted with, they were huge fans of the race, and were always so humble despite the way they dominated the race. Even though they could be a little dull at times, and having to basically always watch them in a fairly commanding first got a little tiresome. But they absolutely deserved this win more than anyone else, and to hear they would use the money to start a family was such a sweet ending.

2024.05.20 23:15 OmegaMan256 SHIFT-Theory Results

On May 4th, I uploaded a Post entitled, “SHIFT Theory – First Test.” This Post forecasted a Shift-Window: “Beginning from the evening of May 7th to the evening of May 9th.”
The purpose of this Post is to announce to the Retconned Community, the Good News. The good news being, the “SHIFT Theory’s First Test” is now a Proven Major Success!

May 12th Post by: ApprehensiveMilk3324
Post Title: Job
body text: I started a new Job a couple months ago and I know the pens we used to use had out logo on them. They were cute and a specific design.
Just last night, I saw they are completely different. I asked around and I'm told the restaurant stopped using the logo pens several years ago.
Had anyone else experienced this on such a micro level???
My comments continued;
I’m new to Retconned but I’ve been told, from those who’ve been here for years, they’ve never seen such a large Shift-consensus in many years.
I would now like to answer some key-questions, I feel are on the minds of many who are reading this;

How did I forecast a SHIFT in the first place?
Why was it validated by such a large consensus?

To answer the first question: I Posted “Shift Theory – First Test” because it was an actual 1st text. Meaning, I did not test it myself privately to confirm my own theory.
That’s because I; (A) I wanted to include the Community in an Historical-First in ME-Phenomenon history.
(B) I was 100% confident of its accuracy.
My high-confidence level was based on my 18-years experience of delving into Godly Secrets/Mysteries. I perform the research-work to decipher what I’m interested in, I pray to the Almighty multiple-times a day for the insight and wisdom required to find what I’m looking for and in RESPONSE to my efforts and prayers he puts me on the right-path and enlightens me to its answer.
This coupled with my 100% Belief and Trust in HIM, enabled me to open the veil of the SHIFT mystery. In other words, my understanding of the SHIFT-schedule DID NOT originate from me. If you desire to thank me for my “research efforts” that would be welcomed encouragement. However, thanking me “for finding it,” is a Thank you only for our Creator.
The more of you who Thank HIM directly, the more inclined will HE be to unveil more ME-understandings.
To answer the 2nd question: **“Why was the SHIFT validated by such a large consensus?” I’ve became aware of my ME-status for about 3.5 months now. I was able to track its beginning to early last October. I understand for many of you, the confusions and stresses of your ME- experience, have been going on for many years and in some cases, brought a number of you to embrace some rather dark, frightening conclusions behind it.
For those of you who feel this way, please understand the following; The perplexing impression of this phenomenon exists only in its external-appearance. Its outward veil is enigmatic but internally its rooted with absolute precision, void of any randomness, errors or flaws. Its operation is entirely Rational in both function and purpose and it follows the Rules the Almighty created it to follow in perfect detail. It’s exactly because of this flawless precision, its Shift-window can be so accurately forecasted.
Your Creator arranged the large Shift-consensus to highlight a SHIFT has indeed been forecasted accurately. So you understand that HE and no one else, Created this Phenomenon and HE and no one else Controls it. Understand, it is HE who’s taken you by the hand and walked you out from SHIFT-Darkness. To encourage you to reconsider any and all alternate and dark-conclusions of who or what else is working it. That you should accredit the SHIFT-revelation to the Almighty-HIMSELF and nothing else.
You’re aware the ME-Affected population is in the tens-of-millions and you’re aware, with the exception of a tiny-percentage (ourselves), they live their lives entirely in ignorance of what’s happened to them. They insist on remaining this way, despite all our efforts to awaken them and therefore remain oblivious to the most incredible phenomenon in human history. Would any of us want to be one of them? Your “conscious ME-awareness” is NOT a bad thing, its a Blessing, a Rare-Gift. A Gift HE gave you in response to a MERIT you achieved, in either your present lifetime or a previous lifetime. A Gift giving you a front-row seat to observe HIS Power, Controlling the universe. HE made you unique in the world with a perception like none-other.
A message for others is; please reconsider your doubts of your own Realness. Rather, be assured you’re 100% REAL, your mind is Real, your body is Real and your Soul is Real. Your Creator DOES NOT create fake things and while no one can be at the level of Realness HE is, your Realness is nonetheless absolute.
The day will come when all will be revealed and HIS reason for our World-Shifting will become known and the rationality behind it will make perfect-sense. TRUST in HIM, that what is happening is necessary and for a very positive reason and that everything HE does is for our good.
There’s many more mysteries within this phenomenon to unveil, more areas of darkness HE’S waiting to remove. Your participation in the new Surveys, I have coming up, will hasten these unveilings.
The more understandings we gain, the more Spiritually-Mature we become, the more HE will be inclined to Reveal! The more you open your heart up to HIM, the more HE will open-up to you.
One last point I’d like to make: Upon confirming the predicted SHIFT-window, I could very easily have written this Post ignoring the Almighty and taking full credit myself. “Look what I did for you!, See how smart I am!, No one’s ever done this before, only me!.”
I could have said such things or implied such things, adding more and more arrogant-nonsense into in the world, as if it needs more than it already has.
As much as I Trust HIM, measure for measure, HE Trusts me; to withhold such egotistical assertions and speak only the Truth of the matter.
If youTrust in HIM, Trust that ONLY HE Controls this phenomenon, Trust in HIM that’s its All for the good: then may he ease the tensions of your day-to-day lives and enhance your livelihoods and happiness > more and more and more!
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
COMING UP: In about a week, I will Post the next upcoming SHIFT-dates and I’ll include further revelations of the “mechanics of Shifting.” Then I will Post the new Surveys.
The goal of the Surveys is to create broad-stroke profiles of our Sagittarius Home-worlds, that will eventually funnel into identifying exactly how many Parallel Earths we come from. The value of this information can open up entirely new depths of understanding within the phenomenon. I will present these Surveys as FUN & Creatively as possible. I Hope all of you participate!
Regarding the Follow feature: Recently I’ve been encouraging people to Follow me. I do this because I’ve experienced putting up Posts and the “Now in Retconned” Notice not always working. I was informed the best way around this is to develop a Follow-list.
Thank you everyone!

2024.05.20 20:57 ValentineFlowers7 I lost all respect for Greys and I’m embarrassed to be a fan

I’m talking about being a Day 1 fan since I was a kid! I’m now in my 20s and having to force myself to watch this is so so so so so so hard. It makes me sick and disgusted what they have done to the show. “It’s just tv get over it” No I can’t. Screw yall. And screw the replies. I just need to tell y’all.
Bailey is weak and pathetic and embarrassing. I can write essays and books about it. It’s a dishonor to her character they way they have made her.
Owen character as much as everyone hates him has always had steady acting even having to play this cringe lines and scenes.
Teddy is trash. Look I believe love is love. But they really push for the LGBTQIA mark just to maintain a certain status and I feel also a certain quota. The is part is outside of just teddys character. It shouldn’t be that way. Like yes let’s hire more lgbtqia actors and tell their stories. But let’s not profit off of shock value of being bi. Like she’s bi so what. Also I will say this I think it’s funny there might have been a higher chance that Reed, Mark and her could of had that threesome.
Arizona is fake af with the “enthusiasm” honestly trash character.
Jo! Omg I had such hope for her but they made her give this annoying stuck up LA vibe and yikes.
I need link to stop having a savior complex and get mad a little bit.
I will say as much of a bitch Kathrine Character is she has stayed consistent but she needs to die already. April and Jackson need to come to the funeral.
Richard is great. If they really want to break our hearts they could make him accidentally od after cathrines death.
Meredith must have ocd like chill tf out. She is a great mother but a horrible girlfriend. She makes mountains out of mole hills.
Callie, they gave her bad hair cut, they put her in car crash, they made her cut her wife’s leg off they killed off her best friend, they made her stand up to the shooter, they made her the arc of the musical shoe and she didn’t get a proper exit! Like they should have killed her off if they were just gonna make her bounce like that! I’m sorry as much as I would like her to come back but I hope they don’t. They would make it extra extra cringe.
Aprils development was the opposite of this whole post she was cringe to excellency. But I will never forgive the writers for killing her baby. I know it was supposed and gonna happen but screw yall.
Perfect Penny. Oh man like at first I was sick to my stomach when Mer opened that door. I still think it’s so cruel for them to have done that to her. Overall mer did learn from it and made her a better doctor but there were better ways to do that. Penny did not kill Derek. When she busted Mers mouth open and fought with Jackson I was so happy. Cause wym I can’t get my girl some air.
Amelia oh man if y’all haven’t seen private practice I highly recommend it. Shes so needy. I’m not gonna lie she be real funny sometimes. Hella indecisive. I love that she kept Derek of his toes. I would have fought mer for pulling the plug just because she had to run from the situation quickly. Like bro what was that.
Helm is obsessive like Martha from baby reindeer. Im sorry they way they made her super cringe in the beginning I just can’t look at her differently even after all the growth. I will say when we saw her again working at the bar she looked so pretty in red. I just don’t think blue scrubs is her color.
Alex, I still can’t talk about it. Sorry that one deserves a personal post😔 Jo respected and loved him more that all I got to say at this time.
Lucas Adams… THEY ABUSE DEREKS LEGACY TIME AND TIME AGAIN LET MY MAN GO. The whole point is they set Lucas up to fail. Them making Amelia and him look like there committing acts of incest. Even the insinuation is disgusting and disrespectful. INCEST! Like wtf. Why was that even written in. The fact that Adams didn’t have a problem with it and would have kept things that way is so mad weird. Like hello 911. It’s like that couple from High school that would say they we’re cousins to hide the fact that they were dating then it comes out. We all never look at them the same.
Griffith girl just date already. The amount of Alzheimer’s disease that people have in relation to Greys is as if it could be contracted as easily as Covid. And don’t get me started of the Covid thing. It was like the first time I saw and iPhone on the simpsons it was so unsettling. Anyways to my point we don’t need to be repeating or copying peoples stores just for nostalgia because it’s coming off as uncreative and weak.
Maggie… haha. Look the whole love child thing made my mouth drop yes. I love the quirky bits but then it became to much. When she made science camp for baileys kid I thought that was cute. Everything else was too much. Izzie would have set her straight. Christina would have humbled her so hard. It’s like that annoying rich cousin claiming to be broke and grew up in the hood but actually is like drake and had a pool in their backyard. Again the insinuation of incest is disgusting. Like we know there not related just the jokes we’re to much. The way she would become frazzled if things didn’t go her way would have made me flip out. It’s cringe to think that that could have been Mer.
I’ll come back later and talk more about the rest of the characters I have to take a break from the cringe.

2024.05.20 20:38 Remarkable-Tower3547 Custom Game Playing

I am hoping someone can help me. I was wondering how people are setting a custom cute game status on their profile to run all the time like in the photo attached?

2024.05.20 20:12 nikon_nomad Found something pretty interesting in DFV's old tweets

After all this time we're still missing out on a bunch of important clues in Roaring Kitty's 2021 tweets, and I think he made some signals for us to go back there and have a look.
See the third video from Monday: "First, the overture", followed by a shot from Ready Player One where the hero decides to drive in reverse.
Well, maybe going backwards doesn't mean watch all the memes in reverse order, but go back to his earlier tweets.
Such as this one from June 2nd 2021, which just so happens to be a clip of the preceding 22 seconds of the exact same Ready Player One scene!
He used that scene to say something back then and is still doing it today.
Here's another example: Just a couple videos later Kitty posted a cryptic driving meme that starts with a scene from the end of Furious 7.
https://preview.redd.it/zp6qwah9gl1d1.jpg?width=1112&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da657b6c431a59ac6066af0f54fcabff097d9a14
Welll, guess what he posted on April 16th 2021? A screenshot from that same scene - but again taken from the preceding few seconds!
https://preview.redd.it/2nvmj5y4gl1d1.jpg?width=594&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9fdfc83ec53ad2c71b087e94eccef078fcad6726
So in the movie, there's a split in the road where the two cars go their separate ways. The white car continues left and drives off into the sunset. Soundtrack is "See You Again", this being his way of saying goodbye for now. Vin Diesel in the other car right turns right. In the video meme from last week, after the shot of the white car, the next cut is a hard right turn with a car that has a VERY similar-looking chassis to Vin Diesel's car. Not the same car, but looks so similar it's not accidental.
https://preview.redd.it/j6ldo53rgl1d1.jpg?width=594&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=46184763d7f73ed166888d04f17e034e7b33da0f
I don't know where this clip is from, so leave a comment if you know.
Other memes from 2021 that made later appearances from the same scene:

June 4th: Men in Black, "Don't ever touch the red button".
June 4th: Love Actually, where he wasn't in love with RC then, but changed his mind in the last three years.
June 4th: Don't Fear the Reaper / Cowbell.

Of course in addition to these, lots of movies were used multiple times, but those were mostly from different parts of the film.

Why is he referring to his old tweets?

There was a major shift in his posting style in 2021.
If you scroll back and look at what he was doing on Twitter, Most of April 2021 was a lot of actual memes and cat videos with some GME stuff thrown in there. I really didn't see a great deal of hidden meaning in those (but may well be wrong). Until one of his final posts in April was the image of the two cars above. The next one is a cute gif of a monkey and a kitty being friends, followed by a compilation of his first ever live stream (GME price $4.15) and a celebratory cheers (price $159).
After that he went dark for six weeks, formulating a plan for how to get the message across. On June 1st he returned and was clearly doing something different.
First was a dramatic cat video, then a "smash the floor" gif. After which his Twitter turned more towards the edited videos with sound and the special subtitles that we see today, starting with Rorschach from Watchmen (which he hinted at earlier, as well).
(Side note: Let's just take a second to appreciate that Twitter comments actually used to be readable back then...)
So he spent six weeks creating memes trying to say something. The subtitles took work, which could've been his way of saying "I went to a lot of editing trouble for these, so pay attention".
And if that wasn't enough, there was the meme with Buscemi saying "I've been working on this poem for 12 years. There's a lot of expectation. I don't want to disappoint my fans."
Now, do keep in mind the story in 2021 isn't necessarily up to date. The situation has changed in the last three years, and Kitty's understanding would've developed as well.
But I think going over those old tweets again can help solve this whole mystery. At least by creating new connections and insights into his mindset that will help with translating the meme language from last week.
Does anyone remember what the best theories and interpretations were at the time?
PS: Another good question to ask is "why did he make these very specific and otherwise unnecessary editing choices?" I talk about that in a previous post that went somewhat unnoticed.

2024.05.20 19:49 Jesicur That time I Roleplay and it distorted my reality

Hello!
Today I felt like telling my story that don’t matter but actually does because it really built my character haha when I was 13 years old I had a Facebook profile from a character that I like, Zack Fair from Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core, at the beginning I didn’t even know what role play was, just that I really wanted to play as him. I added a bunch of people roleplaying as other characters from that game in particular and later on just random accounts from other games, I was very shy and didn’t actually role play that much because I was insecure about my English since it’s not my mother tongue, so I kinda just saw everything from the sidelines, with kinda no popular status I got a real life friend to join me as Aerith side note she didn’t even play the game or knew anything from it but went ahead and created an account to role play with me who was my character’s love interest and we would play as a couple. Nothing really happened at the beginning, until it did.
I added a profile playing as Ike from Fire Emblem and we started talking, only thing I know is that he’s a guy haha so we started talking and I explained him about my character and the game which got him interested about it, I really liked him he was cool at that time. He even left his Ike account to make one for Cloud Strife, a character from Final Fantasy VII. My character’s life was started to progress since he was being so extrovert, loud, cringy haha I made friends from role playing like Xion from Kingdom Hearts who I believe was a girl, Roxas from Kingdom Hearts who was a girl too, shout out to my girl! We still talk to this day.
Zack and Aerith got engaged after a while and we adopted Xion as our daughter, but little did they know I was having an affair with Cloud.
Cloud and I got closer and closer by talking I swear everyday after school, next fact I unlocked from him was that he was from the UK, we would talk about our interests and how was our day without revealing our names, to this day I don’t know his, but I would feel like we were actually friends on the start, he would tell me I play the best as my character, even saying I was actually him so I think that started to mess with my head, what was really aimed at my character and my real identity? Because it felt like we were in a relationship, he would say he liked me and that we should be together, so we started talking more flirty and couple like, even role play smut but it would be so awkward like *moan* and stuff haha nothing graphic, I don’t know why I didn’t tell my wife, to the outside we were this happy family, even my daughter had a crush on Cloud and I would discourage to pursue him, my thinking was he’s gay you don’t have a chance but with me it’s different.
I am Zack Fair.
The way I would role play was using fanarts, I would make albums from the characters and post a bunch of cute fanart and go from there, since it was easier to describe the scenery because of my English. I made albums from most of the characters of my game, even albums titled as family and it would be crossovers from Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy. Other people used this method I am not claiming it as my own, but overall this life was competitive I remember another Zack Fair named with the Japanese pronunciation Zakkusu Fea and I was totally jealous of him, he was so popular he had his Aerith and his family, their profile pictures were pretty so that made him pretty in my head, there was also this other Cloud Strife but named Cloud NotaChocobo something among those lines and he was a very cute boy, he always pick the cutest fanart of Cloud, but I never spoke with any of them I was shy and I tried to expand my social circle.
But Aerith disliked Cloud to the point she deleted him from Facebook, I don’t remember the motives but he would be sarcastically rude to her, it wasn’t really just one big event and I was really a coward to not defend my wife, instead I wouldn’t really interact in public with him, it was all on private messages, one day Aerith suggested we should switch accounts for a day and I accepted because I thought it would be fun to play as her. Big mistake.
She saw,
everything.
She posted on my wall saying what she found out, would copy paste fragment of what we told each other, our professions of love, I tried to warn Cloud but I was not on his friend list, soon enough friends started to notice the posts on my profile and got involved, I was rightfully the bad guy in all this, my daughter hated me because here I was breaking the family apart and engaging with the guy she wanted. I immediately apologized to my friend in real life playing as Aerith and she just lol’d telling me it was okay it was just a joke but in my mind it wasn’t. We got a divorce after that and she kept engaging on role playing as a single mom, later on I saw she remarried but then she really wasn’t much online anymore. For myself I grow out a mustache, a friend drew one from one of my profile pictures, it was popular back in 2008, haha, this face was even my signature :{D.
I went back to Cloud, we were apologetic of what had happened and soon enough it was like before, only this time I would tell him that I wanted our relationship to be public but he wasn’t ready yet, so I waited and waited but deep inside I felt hurt because I thought he didn’t love me in real life, he would then tell me his problems from his day, that he was at a friend’s house playing spin the bottle and he had to kiss a guy but didn’t because he was shy about it and I was so jealous about it I thought we broke up in that moment but didn’t say nothing, he would give me a few hints here and there about his personal life, I only know he has his mother and a big brother and were from India, he would send me links to Indian songs and dramas from Bollywood, that made him happy. One time while looking at profiles to add from mutual friends I saw an account named after my character and the profile was a real photo of an Indian guy, I looked through his profile and I got the vibe it was him, but to this day I don’t know since I never told him and the account was soon deleted or maybe he changed the profile picture since there were so many accounts with the same name.
We kept our relationship private until one day he said he was ready to make it public I was very excited about it, our friends congratulated us and I thought this new step would be so much fun but it went downhill from here. I don’t really remember anything from here I think because it were the days that I really struggled with balancing this persona and my own, the friends I made here would vent to me about their real life problems and I would try to help them as much as a 13 year old can, later I fell sick to the stomach turns out I had gastritis from all the stress, I remember leaving the Doctor with my mom telling her “So it’s because of the stress? But I like helping people, they tell me their problems…” and she said something among the lines of how they wouldn’t help me back, it sucked.
Tumblr was a miracle, I got my blog and I got obsessed with it, since I loved many tv shoes back in the day I enjoyed the content that people were posting, the images, the gifsets, the audios, the videos, the memes we got from that like the Mishapocalypse haha. Again I don’t really remember how Cloud and I broke up but I’m pretty sure he broke up with me, I told my friend Roxas about it and we decided to have a public relationship but really we were just friends, in my head I tried to make Cloud jealous but later on I didn't even care he had changed and I disliked this new persona and speaking of people they were not getting online as much anymore, so leaving was easy, I added Roxas to my real account and didn't look back.
I would only get online from time to time since I was afraid my account could get hacked or deleted for inactivity, but when I was logged I could say hi to all my friends and I got some juicy gossip, remember Cloud? He was in distress telling me that he was role playing with a mutual friend of us, a Genesis from Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core, and boy they were role playing smut and Genesis’ mother caught a glimpse or something but she read all that and grounded him from his computer, I was indifferent from it I recall only saying him something like: Too bad. To this day I have the gut feeling that he was cheating on me, not with Genesis but I recall him interacting in a suspicious way with other Zacks, oh yeah he only liked Zack Fair.
Later on I saw that Cloud changed again his behavior, he was like a role play police if he didn’t like how you act he would let you know about it, he made a lot of accounts like a second Cloud Strife, a Genesis Rhapsodos one, one of my character Zack Fair. Until I logged one day and I couldn’t find him on my friend list until I realized he deleted me, with time I never found his account, maybe he deleted them all, I don’t know since roleplaying on Facebook wasn’t as popular.
That is all I have to say, I might have little stories here and there about these time but overall it really messed with my reality of how I view these friendships… relationships… I don’t regret it much, it was a fun escape since I hated my middle school haha but super cringe it let’s be real, I don’t really remember much apart from minor details or fun stuff that happened but shoutout to that other Zack Fair from Italy on his mid 20’s who told me he was in a metal band and learnt German from metal music who got stabbed in a bar I don’t remember why but when I told him I was a girl he wanted to be in a relationship with me and come visit me, I shut that shit down. But hi bro o/

2024.05.20 19:15 Dumbidiot1323 One year in Japan - Mom's first time in Japan! (March/April 2023)

Welcome to another report of my one year stay in Japan from mid 2022 to mid 2023! If everything goes according to plan, I'll post the final part on May 27, which would be exactly one year after I returned from Japan! With that being said, after spending a month with a couple of friends in February 2023, enjoying the snow in Hokkaido and early sakura around the Izu peninsula, it was time to face one of the busiest seasons in Japan - proper sakura season in March/April. My mother would join me in late March on her first trip to Japan ever and she was hellbent on seeing some sakura and me being the tour guide. This came with the benefit of her paying for all expenses during our travels, which was very nice of her!
You can find the other reports down below.
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 Part 11
Tokyo
Picking up where I left off in the previous report, I decided to show everyone what a "typical" Airbnb I'd stay in during my time in Japan looked like. When my friends left, I booked a very cheap Airbnb in Kunitachi, which is in west Tokyo, about 40 minutes away from Shinjuku on the Chuo line. As I mentioned in some of my earlier reports, I quite enjoyed staying out of central Tokyo and exploring areas that I'd otherwise never go to on a normal vacation. This place had a kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom. Looks pretty barebones but it was more than enough to satisfy my needs and the internet in Airbnbs was usually very good.
Since it was the beginning of March, I decided to go back to Yushima Tenjin to check the status of the plum blossoms there and they were beautiful at the time. One train stop away from Kunitachi is Kokubunji, which I went to because I saw a couple interesting spots on Google maps to check out. One of which was the small Tonogayato Garden, which was alright for a short visit. More interestingly, there's a small path called Otaka no michi, which looks very cute and goes along a few shrines and another small garden along the way.
Having seen Kawazu sakura a two weeks prior, I checked where I could find early blooming sakura in Tokyo and was happy to find that near my next Airbnb's location (Ojima in the east of Tokyo), a park close to Arakawa river had a few trees so of course I made my way there and it was the perfect time to see them too. One of the many reasons why I enjoy staying in eastern Tokyo is that the further I went out, the more relaxed I felt. It's so far removed from the central and west, where you have tens of thousands of people converging in several spots while here, there is just a wide open park, families and friends just hanging out in what felt like a more accurate represenation of what the average Tokyoite did in their daily lives. I think I went here a few times every evening because it put me at ease and I miss spending time there. And as always, plenty of small mom and pop shops serving all kinds of food, like this wonton soup with a side of fried rice.
Another garden I visited was Kiyosumi! It's in Koto, so again a bit out of the way but definitely worth a visit if you somehow find yourself in the area or just want to see something new if it's your Xth visit to Japan. Bonus pic from when I walked back "home"; sunsets in Tokyo in those side streets with rivers running through the city are particularly great.
The week leading up to my mom's arrival was spent with me visiting a bunch of parks in Tokyo to see how the sakura were going considering my mother wanted to see them. This was a tad stressful because it was supposed to rain for a few days before my mother arrived and in 2023, sakura season started super early so I was scared the rain and wind might kill em off before she even got there. That being said, Shinjuku Gyoen, Yoyogi park, the Kanda river, Chidorigafuchi and Ueno park were going strong! I switched Airbnbs one more time before my mom arrived, staying in Asaka - in Saitama. I had a couple more sakura trees right next door, which was great.
And then, the day had come! My mom arrived at around 7pm, I picked her up from Narita airport and let me tell you, it was an incredibly weird feeling riding back into that airport. Around 10 months earlier, I flew in and it was practically deserted due to the pandemic but now it was back to somewhat normal and I was hit with a weird sort of nostalgia! My mom was surprisingly fit and didn't seem jetlagged at all, demanding me to show her around Ueno park at like 10pm still. We got her her own Suica, her first konbini visit and then just went to the hotel and slept.
My mother had a couple of things she absolutely wanted to see and aside that, I was basically a tour guide who just showed her around spots I decided on on the day. The first thing my mom wanted to see was TeamLabs. Not something I personally had much interest in and the experience was pretty meh overall to be honest but she enjoyed it. Following that we headed to Tokyo station and went to Sushiro because my mom wanted to try Sushi and was keen on trying the "conveyor belt" one she saw on social media. Since it was nearby, we then walked to Chidorigafuchi and the Imperial Palace Gardens, giving my mom her first proper sakura experience. We spent quite a while walking around and it soon got dark so we took a train towards Tokyo Tower. Tokyo Tower looks great at night, especially with some sakura in front of it. We finished the day with a CoCo ichi meal before walking around the pond near Ueno park.
The following day, my mother wanted to check out Akiba to my surprise. She's not into anime or video games at all but she thoroughly enjoyed seeing just how many figures and plushies of everything exists. A visit to nearby Kanda shrine was of course obligatory. Gotta love the ema people put up there due to its close proximity to Akiba. Before going to Sky Tree in the evening, we went to Hamarikyu Gardens, which are way nicer looking in sakura season than in February, when I went there with my friend. Now, Sky Tree was an experience. Having been there just a few weeks earlier with my friends and there being no lines whatsoever, this time around, things were different. We had to wait for around an hour to get tickets and the observation decks were packed. If it was that bad in 2023, I can't imagine how it is now.
On the third day, the jetlag or just general fatigue hit my mother and she slept past noon so we had a more relaxed day without as much walking as the two before. Took a train to Kichijoji in hopes to show my mom Inokashira park with its famous sakura around the pond and we were not disappointed! My mom wanted to shop and since I am the least knowledgeable person when it comes to this, I simply took her to Ikebukuro's Sunshine City and hoped she'd find stuff there and she actually did buy a bunch of "fluffy" dresses!
The final day in Tokyo was a bit more packed again in terms of things to do. First on the agenda was a visit at Cafe Reissue, which my mom of course saw on Instagram. Since you can't reserve, they take your name and give you a time to come back at, which meant we had about an hour and a half to do something else. This was when we headed to Shibuya Sky. I had never been there because I didn't really want to spend 2000 yen on another observation deck but this one is actually good. In my opinion, if you could only pick ONE observation deck in Tokyo, this should be it. Nice, open views in a far better location than Sky Tree for example. Afterwads we headed back to the cafe and got our latte/hot chocolate art. I'm a bit of a hot chocolate snob so I'd say the drink itself was alright, the art is pretty nice and the sandwich was better than I expected. Definitely worth checking out if you can get a spot here.
Shinjuku Gyoen at this point had a fair amount of sakura trees already losing their petals, making for pretty walkways. In general, and this isn't some hidden gem, Shinjuku Gyoen is definitely worth going for sakura because of how many varieties can be found in it. Just make sure to get there early...
And with that, the first portion in Tokyo was done and the next day saw us take the Shinkansen to Kyoto!
Kyoto
I dreaded this visit to Kyoto because during my time in Japan, Kyoto has been relatively empty and enjoyable, contrary to how it was pre-pandemic. And the difference was definitely noticeable just a few weeks after having been there with my friends. Still not as bad as it probably is now, but noticeable. We wanted to go to Kiyomizudera in the evening for that picture, so we spent the time before that just strolling around the east side of Kyoto, but not before getting some lunch at a nearby restaurant. This is where I first realised my mother had no taste, as she didn't like gyudon whatsoever. Meanwhile, I thought this was one of my favourite gyudon I ever had.
We headed over to Maruyama park afterwards, with sakura all around and plenty of food stalls for your typical Japanese festival snack cravings. From there, we walked over to Heian Jingu, passing by Chionin Samnon. I've not been to the garden that is next to Heian Jingu, so we went in there. It's not the biggest place but it's very quaint and beautiful, especially the pond area. The sun was beginning to set and the walk back to Kiyomizudera would have been a bit too much for my mom that day, so we took a bus... and I've vowed to never do that again. It's crazy how packed buses in Kyoto got once regular tourism picked back up. Sannenzaka was also back to what I was used to pre-pandemic. On one hand, this must be great for local business. On the other hand, I can't imagine living anywhere near here...
Kiyomizudera was packed to the brim and my mom really wanted to take a picture from the famous angle, so we stood there for what felt like half an hour with little to no progress before she conceded, but we got nice pictures just off the platform. She enjoyed walking around Kyoto more than actually checking out the sights sometimes, which was great because Kyoto is a beautiful city. Kiyamachi is fantastic at night!
I had to face the PTSD of the prior month's Nara visit because of course, my mother wanted to see there deer there. But we got there early enough, with plenty of time to check out Todaiji, where my mother bought a goshuincho, and Kasuga Taisha. On our way back from Nara, we got out at Fushimi Inari and made our way up for the sunset. No torii pictures here because I've taken so many at that point, that I simply didn't this time.
We were looking for something to eat and up until that day, I had never experienced being denied entry into a restaurant before. Throughout 3 separate Japan vacations and this whole year I spent there, everywhere welcomed me, even out in the sticks. But that day, it happened twice. The first place I kind of give a pass because apparently they had some "bar event" going on so no food was being served that day (Google maps reviews were raving about the food there). But the second place, an okonomiyaki restaurant, does not get that pass. I slid open the door, saw 2 empty tables and the counter having a bunch of space. The owner's wife saw us coming in, I asked whether two people are fine - in Japanese, mind you - she had a very brief chat with her husband and then told us they're full. Obviously I accepted that and we went back out. I was pretty angry outside, though. There was no way they had no space in that restaurant and I am convinced they used that reasoning because they didn't want to serve foreigners. We just went to a nearby Chinese restaurant in the end, my mom not minding the "fuss" much but this was the first time I got denied from multiple places, so I was still somewhat mad lol.
The next day, we headed over to Nanzenji. Since we got off at Keage station, we walked our way up and had a quick look around Nanzenin before getting to Nanzenji. Also worth visiting is Eikando a bit further up the road. I can't remember if pictures inside the facility are just not allowed or if I forgot taking that many but the area is quite large and you can walk inside the temple. We then went to Ginkakuji, which I didn't take pictures of at all since I've been there before in October (so if you want to see pictures of that, check that post out). Unlike in October, this time there was a line to get tickets - which I didn't expect because it used to not be as popular as Kinkakuji.
Final day in Kyoto proper was spent in and around Arashiyama before my mother had her booked Maiko photoshoot. This took about 2 hours, she got the makeup done, was dressed up and had a bunch of pictures taken. She loved it. The place she did it at was called "Kyoto Kimono Rental Yumeyakata). Afterwards, she bought some souvenirs in random stores in the city. She also wanted to check out some other "famous" maccha place called "Maccha House". I'm actually not that big of a fan of maccha and this place really just seemed like a tourist trap. My mother enjoyed it though and as long as she had a good time, I didn't mind going to these places. Looking back at this Kyoto leg of our trip, I realise we didn't really have any "traditional" Japanese food experiences (as in kaiseki or the like). Not sure why that was. That was our last full day in Kyoto since the next one would be a day trip from there to Himeji, before we headed down to Hiroshima.
Himeji
I've been to Himeji before in like 2019 but back then, the castle was covered up for some renovations but this time, it was all there in its glory. And man, Himeji in Spring is absolutely beautiful. The park before it is full of sakura, I'll let the pictures do the talking and say that visiting Himeji is always a must but especially when you are in Japan in Spring. One of my favourite sakura spots for sure. The only negative thing I could report about it is that going inside the castle may not be worth it for you. There's a whole lot of stairs to take, which usually is no big deal for me but at some points, everyone had to wait for like 10 minutes before being able to go up to the highest point because there were so many people inside. I can't imagine this being much better a year later.
Hiroshima
Took the Shinkansen from Shin-Osaka to Hiroshima at around 11, making us arrive at around 1:30pm. Dropped our luggage off at Koko Hotel Hiroshima and then went for lunch at Yotchan, an okonomiyaki restaurant I went to a few months prior. I was a bit scared my mom wouldn't be a fan of okonomiyaki, given she didn't enjoy tonkatsu or gyudon but this turned out to be her favourite meal of the whole trip, which made me very happy. Hiroshima style okonomiyaki are in my opinion far superior to their Osaka counterpart, the noodles at the bottom really elevate the dish. The weather during our time here was pretty bad with mostly rain, but it certainly added something to the mood around the peace park and museum, which we visited of course. Sakura in Hiroshima weren't really existent at this point anymore, understandably so since the season starts a bit earlier here than up in Tokyo. The good thing about Hiroshima is that there's a bit of an underground mall with lots of shops and places to grab some snacks, so we were able to avoid much of the rain. Nevertheless, we ended the day a bit early at around 7pm (even though my addiction kicked in and I went for CoCo ichi at like 10pm lol).
And then we were off to Miyajima on the next day. It was my first time going there since my planned trip in November was foiled due to stomach issues. The weather was still rather bad but just like the day before, I think it actually added to the atmosphere on the island. Obligatory torii picture here. The shrine itself isn't that impressive - maybe this was due to the weather, though. But it wasn't raining super heavily, so we decided to take a walk to Daisho-in, which was maybe 10-15 minutes away on foot from Itsukushima shrine itself. Very much worth a visit, they occasionally let steam (?) out into the yard here, which is pretty cool in these weather conditions. Of course, I was put on goshuin duty ever since my mom had gotten her book in Nara so I had to collect stamps at every shrine we got to. If you go here and it is raining, be a bit careful about the stairs - they can be very slippery and my mother was incredibly lucky to not tumble down all the way down at one point.
After exploring just a little bit of the forest/mountainside, we decided to head back to the shrine and to our surprise, it was completely free of water now! Got lucky there and able to get up close to it! And that was it for Miyajima, we took the boat back to Hiroshima, got another round of okonomiyaki in before returning to Tokyo on the next day.
Tokyo
Since it was my mother's last full day in Japan, we went on a bit of a goshuin hunt around several shrines and temples, both small and large, in Ueno, Uguisudani, Akihabara and Asakusa. We simply walked from on to another, can't really list them all but Ono Tersuaki and Akiba shrine (this was kinda hidden!) were some of the smaller ones. There was a little festival around Sensoji going and we got a few snacks there. After one last walk along the Sumida river, it was time to go shopping. Only this time, it was me doing the buying... Got myself a PS5 that my mother took back home in her suitcase for me, the weak yen was just too good back then already and made me save like 100€ on that thing! We had dinner at my favourite little Chinese place near our hotel and then, my mom's time in Japan was pretty much over as we went back, packed up her stuff and got ready for the next day's trip to Narita, which I will cover in the next (and possibly final) report!
I love showing people around Japan, especially when it's their first time. I was a bit afraid my mother would miss out on the sakura and the mood would be bad but fortunately it all went well and mostly as planned. She absolutely loved it and would love to visit again. For me personally, as you can read about in this thread I made a year ago, I was super glad to have been "living" in Japan during sakura season because I think planning a normal 2 week vacation around sakura would be very stressful. Especially with tourists hitting record numbers currently, I feel like travelling during sakura season would be too much of a hassle for me personally - but to each their own!
To be honest, I had a tough time writing this report due to some depressing stuff going on in real life right now so I am not really that happy with how it turned out. Nevertheless, I am planning to release the final report on the 27th as planned. It's been almost a year since I returned home and I wish I had written these reports while in Japan instead of this late but too late to stop now, I suppose. If there's enough interest, I could write a "Best of..." report as an extra, talking about my favourite restaurants, foods, places to visit, activities and also my least favourite things during my time in Japan. But I'll see how the next report goes. Speaking of which - that one will include my final solo sakura adventure around the north of Japan in cities like Kakunodate, Morioka, Kitakami, Hakodate and, of course, Sapporo.
Thanks for reading and if you have questions, feel free to drop them!

2024.05.20 18:59 Emotional-West6766 walmart sucks

I worked there as a cashier for almost two years, started when I was 16 so I had the yellow badge my whole time working there. I recently quit before I turned 18 cause management there is actually horrible. They hired a dude named Kody, he was late twenties and gave weird vibes from the start. I worked there for a while when they hired him, so i had developed friendships with my coworkers that moved to socials like snap and facebook. Kody asked for my snap, and I thought nothing of it since I had other coworkers on snap and nothing weird ever came of it. He started being weird, asking me to go doordash with him alone late at night, sending shirtless pics of himself, calling me cute and giving other compliments. At work he would bug me constantly asking me questions about how i’m doing or more about myself. He complimented me a few times at work but the weird stuff really only happened over snap. I reported him to my coach and I wrote multiple statements about the situation, but allegedly because nothing really happened at work, they couldn’t do much about it. Regardless if he made me, and several other of my coworkers uncomfortable while on clock. They also failed to tell me about the status of my report, which lead to me walking into work one day and seeing that they had promoted him to team lead. I left after that

2024.05.20 17:25 Overall-Luck-3879 Finally Finished A Partners Event!!! 🎉🥳

Finally Finished A Partners Event!!! 🎉🥳
I tried something different this time because I NEVER complete this event and always pair myself with people who are not avid or intentional players. (I blocked everyone’s names with the cute little orbs lol ❤️)

I only partnered up with three people for the first two days and left the fourth slot open. It helped to focus on moving up the meter and opening the vaults faster to then spread to the other partners. By day two all three partners were complete. It then took less than a day to complete it with the fourth partner.
I partnered with people I knew (based on their leaderboard status) that would actually care about finishing it. Even with varying levels, you can tell when players are hungry or not.
I checked to see if they are the players who stop building property just so other players won’t attack the monuments. (Not true for all who use that strategy, however I’ve noticed who made themselves available to play the game to the fullest extent…it told me if they would only play in spurts or not, which is not needed when this partners event is only four days long and requires ACTIVE players!!!)
The wild card then helped me finish my entire album and now I’m going to try to complete it again!! 🙌🏼

***First time ever writing about my experience with Monopoly GO! on Reddit and I’m happy to share it because maybe it’ll encourage someone today who is cursing and swearing at this game. I absolutely would have led the bandwagon had this new attempt to form game partners not worked 😂💯

2024.05.20 16:32 _Eltanin_ Weekly VTuber Spotlight: Nanami Urara - May 20, 2024

七海うらら*歌channel

A parallel singer who goes back and forth between real and virtual

Overview

Name: Nanami Urara
Illustrator：Ting
Live2D：カケキクコ
3DModel：ぽんぷ長
Active since: 2020

\"リアルとバーチャルを行き来するパラレルシンガー\"

Introduction

Nanami Urara is a virtual singer affiliated with Avex Entertainment's YouTuber support agency "muchoo."
Urara learned piano from a young age and played guitar and sang in a light music club during her student years. During this time, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor and underwent surgery to remove part of her cerebellum. After graduating from university, she worked as an office lady. However, upon feeling unwell and visiting the hospital, she discovered she had breast cancer and had one breast completely removed. After questioning her current life, she started posting cover song videos on YouTube in 2020.
For the first two years of her activities, Urara's videos only received triple-digit views and she struggled to gain attention. In 2021, she entered and won the "Kohana Lam 'Lost Sheep' Song Cover Contest." In April 2022, as part of her prize, she released her first original song, "Atashi World," written and composed by Shimizu Kou, a Vocaloid producer. This success led her to quit her job to focus on her music career.
Urara learned about VTubers from watching HimeHina's song videos and wanted to present herself as a VTuber, inspired by friends who had started as well. She asked Ting, who did illustrations for her song covers, for artwork, and Kakekikuko, another song cover artist, for Live2D modeling. She debuted as a VTuber on June 24, 2022. Initially, she had around 100 viewers. A July video with an a cappella performance with a live person went viral on TikTok, boosting her popularity, and by October, she reached 100,000 subscribers. She revealed her 3D model on April 23, 2023.
Urara , known as a "parallel singer," alternates between her 2D/3D virtual avatar and her real self for videos and media appearances. She also illustrates her own song cover videos, including the artwork for her original song "Atashi World." She made her songwriting debut with "Girls' Strategy." A fan of HoneyWorks, she has covered their songs like "Kawaikute Gomen." Listening to HoneyWorks' "Yume Fanfare" inspired her to pursue her dreams.
Originally, Urara Nanami began her singing career using a portrait of herself as her avatar, which was later adapted into a 2D model. She designed the character, with illustrations by Ting and Live2D modeling by Kakekikuko. The avatar features a prosthetic leg decorated with a herbarium, symbolizing the loss of part of her body. The illustrations for her original song "Atashi World" are also her own. Her 3D model was created by Ponpucho.

🔗Nuzest Clean Lean Protein Strawberry Probiotic Smoothie Mix

https://preview.redd.it/3hoo99fepk1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6730e84676923014aea991717b405e91f00b503a
I got introduced to Nuzest Clean Lean Protein with Probiotic Strawberry recently, and I must say, it's been a game-changer for me. As someone who is quite conscious about their gut health, I was excited to give this a try. The first thing that caught my attention was the fact that it's made up of just seven ingredients. Plus, the added L-glutamine and probiotics are a bonus for maintaining a healthy digestive system.
The taste of the strawberry protein powder is surprisingly good. It's not too sweet or overpowering, making it perfect to blend into smoothies. I usually have it post-workout and it helps me recover quicker, making my fitness routine much more efficient. The fact that it's dairy-free, soy-free, and non-GMO has been a bonus for me, considering my food sensitivities.
However, one thing that could be better is the mixability. It tends to get a bit lumpy, especially when I use a shaker bottle. But that's a small price to pay for such a nutritious and gut-friendly protein powder. All in all, I highly recommend Nuzest Clean Lean Protein with Probiotic Strawberry, especially for those who are looking for a wholesome and yummy protein supplement. Just remember to blend it well!

🔗Premium Grass-Fed Whey Protein Powder - Clean Simple Eats Pumpkin Pie Flavor

https://preview.redd.it/yqvobyvepk1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3361be40e74a2ad4934a4b42bef5240aca38fd23
I've been trying out the Clean Simple Eats Protein Powder Pumpkin Pie, and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed. Not only is it incredibly healthy, but it's also just plain delicious! Every morning, I blend it up with some almond milk and a banana for a satisfying start to my day. The pumpkin pie flavor is spot on, adding a perfect touch of sweetness that leaves me craving for more.
One feature that stood out to me was the creaminess of the protein powder. It's so smooth and lump-free, making it a joy to mix into my morning smoothie. I also appreciate how naturally sweetened it is, without any artificial flavors or sweeteners. Plus, knowing it's made from grass-fed whey gives me extra peace of mind about what I'm putting into my body.
The only downside I've experienced with this protein powder is the price. It's definitely on the higher end compared to other brands I've tried, but I believe the taste and quality make it worth the extra cost. Overall, I highly recommend the Clean Simple Eats Protein Powder Pumpkin Pie for anyone looking for a healthy and delicious protein boost in their daily lives!

🔗Clean Simple Eats Vegan Protein - Cinnamon French Toast

https://preview.redd.it/bd9rry9fpk1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=52fc2ba1c2292833f948ff80502dc407dd9baeb5
As an avid gym-goer, I've tried countless protein powders in search of that perfect mix of taste, quality, and effectiveness. When I came across "Clean Vegan Protein, " I was intrigued by its promise of using only the best plant-based ingredients and delivering 25g of non-GMO vegan protein per serving. Skepticism aside, I decided to give it a shot.
The very first time I tasted the Cinnamon French Toast flavor, I was blown away by how delicious it was. Not only did it not have that chalky artificial taste that many other protein powders have, but it also mixed easily without leaving any clumps, making it a pleasure to consume. Plus, its ability to keep me full for longer periods meant I could better resist the temptation to snack between meals, making it a great addition to my diet and fitness goals.
However, not everything about this protein powder was perfect. I found that some flavors contained soy lecithin, which can cause allergies or digestive issues for some people. Additionally, the fruity pebble donut flavor seemed to be all fruity pebbles and lacked the donut taste that was expected, while others reported an unpleasant aftertaste.
In summary, "Clean Vegan Protein" has been a game-changer for me in terms of muscle-building and recovery. Its high-quality plant-based ingredients, natural sweeteners, and 25g of protein per serving make it a top contender among other protein powders on the market. However, some users may experience adverse reactions due to the presence of soy lecithin in certain flavors. Overall, I would recommend giving this protein powder a try, especially if you are looking for a vegan option that doesn't compromise on taste or effectiveness.

I recently incorporated Clean Simple Eats Super Collagen Mix, Blackberry Lemonade into my daily routine, and I have to say, it's a game-changer! As someone who values their joint health, I'm always on the lookout for ways to boost my collagen intake without sacrificing taste.
I particularly love the Blackberry Lemonade flavor - it's sweet but not overpowering, and it blends seamlessly with my morning smoothies or protein shakes. The scoop size is perfect, too, making measuring out servings a breeze. Also, the fact that it's grass-fed and sourced from high-quality ingredients provides peace of mind in knowing I'm using a top-notch product.
However, there is a slightly sweet aftertaste with this collagen that some users might not enjoy. I found this to be especially true when mixing it with hot beverages like coffee, where the taste was more pronounced. Nonetheless, it wasn't a deal-breaker for me and easily remedied by mixing it into cold drinks or using it in recipes where the flavor can be masked.
Overall, if you're searching for a yummy way to up your collagen intake and support your joint health, skin, hair, and nails, Clean Simple Eats Super Collagen Mix, Blackberry Lemonade is definitely worth a try. The taste is delicious, and the benefits are numerous!

I've been using the Nuzest Clean Lean Protein Probiotic Vanilla for a few months now and I have to say, it's been a game-changer for my protein shake routine. The taste is subtle but pleasant, and the blend of pea protein isolate with probiotics really helps keep my digestion on track.
One thing that really stood out to me was how easy it was to mix into my shakes. No clumping or grittiness, which can often be an issue with other protein powders. Plus, I appreciated the fact that there are no artificial sweeteners, flavours, gums, or fillers in the mix.
On the downside, if you're someone who likes their protein shakes on the sweeter side, this might not be the best option for you. The lightly sweetened coconut sugar can come off a bit too mild for some. Overall though, I've seen a noticeable improvement in my gut health since incorporating this into my daily routine, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, effective protein supplement.

I recently started incorporating this Simple Truth Plant Based Protein Powder into my daily smoothies and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer! Not only does it mix seamlessly without any unpleasant texture, but it even manages to keep its robust vanilla flavor intact. I've had some issues with other protein powders in the past, but this one has truly been a delightful addition to my morning routine.
One thing I really appreciate about this product is its versatility. Whether I'm blending it with fruits and veggies for a post-workout boost or sipping it on its own with some almond milk, it always delivers a creamy richness that's hard to come by in other plant-based options. Plus, knowing that it's free from gluten, dairy, and soy makes me feel good about what I'm putting into my body.
Now, let's talk about the taste. While some users mentioned that the flavor can be quite strong, I personally enjoy its bold character. It pairs perfectly with a variety of fruits and even enhances the natural sweetness of certain vegetables. However, it's worth mentioning that others might find the taste too overwhelming, especially when combined with other ingredients.
On the downside, I wish there were more options for flavor variety and perhaps some additional nutritional information, like specific amino acid content. It would also be nice to see some discounts or promotions from time to time, as suggested by one of the reviews.
All in all, I believe that this Simple Truth Plant Based Protein Powder in Vanilla is a solid choice for those looking to add a little extra protein to their diet. Its smooth texture and rich flavor make it an enjoyable addition to any smoothie or shake, and its non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan-friendly status appeals to a wide range of dietary preferences.

🔗Clean Simple Eats - Deliciously Rich and Creamy Vanilla Protein Powder

https://preview.redd.it/00vamxchpk1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=21ce2e02d0f3efa3b8d5e29f149795312cc4997b
I recently picked up Clean Simple Eats' Simply Vanilla Protein Powder as my go-to workout companion and I must say, it's been a refreshing change from the norm. The first thing I noticed was the creamy, smooth texture that mixed effortlessly with my choice of liquid - water, milk, or almond milk, depending on my mood.

Now, onto the flavour. The vanilla is not your typical artificial sweetener-infused taste. It's a rich, natural vanilla that works exceptionally well in simple smoothies or even as a boost to my morning coffee. I particularly love the hint of sweetness without the sugar overload, making it suitable even for those on a low-carb or keto diet. And the best part? It doesn't leave that dreadful chalky aftertaste in my mouth!
However, there's one minor issue I've encountered. Like any powdered substance, it can be challenging to blend it entirely with ice, making a few ice chunks a regular visitor in my shake. But hey, maybe that's a good excuse to slow down and enjoy my shake rather than gulp it down in a hurry!
In conclusion, if you're in search of a delicious, all-natural protein powder that mixes well, tastes great, and caters to various dietary preferences - the Simply Vanilla Protein Powder by Clean Simple Eats is worth a try. An added bonus is that I feel good about consuming something that doesn't have a long list of unpronounceable ingredients. Happy blending!

I recently incorporated the Nuzest Clean Lean Protein into my daily routine, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. As someone who leads a healthy lifestyle, I was instantly drawn to its all-natural, allergen-free formula. The chocolate flavor is rich and indulgent, but unlike other protein powders, it doesn't have an overwhelmingly sweet taste or a chalky texture.

I also appreciate that it's made from premium European golden peas, which ensures consistency in quality and nutritional value.
While the taste and texture of the Nuzest Clean Lean Protein have been nothing short of exceptional, I have encountered a few minor drawbacks. For one, it is slightly more expensive than other protein powders on the market.

However, one downside I've noticed is that the flavor is a little on the mild side compared to traditional peanut butter. If you're someone who loves their peanut butter with a strong, robust taste, you may find this powdered version a bit lacking in that department. Additionally, while the nutritional benefits are undeniable, some users may find the price point a bit steep for what is essentially a protein-enhanced powder.
In conclusion, Clean Simple Eats' Offbeat Butters Powdered Peanut Butter is a delicious and nutritious addition to any kitchen. Its versatility, clean ingredients, and impressive macros make it a top choice for those looking to indulge in the creamy goodness of peanut butter without sacrificing their health goals.
