2024.05.22 00:32 timetooprime 27m from Germany! You got a minute?

Hey beautiful people,
well how to start off? I'm currently gaming, smoking some tasty hookah and writing this stuff down on my pc. Pretty rainy weather here in Germany.
I'm not looking for anything in special, just let’s see what happens, if we click well. Let’s just see where the journey will go.
You're tired of getting ghosted after just one day talking? Yeah?Well me too. You want to rant and vent about your day? Go for it. You need someone to tell the newest gossip? Damn, I'm your man! You want to talk to someone, who is really interested in your well-being? Finally hit the "message-button"!
Well, I'd say about myself I'm pretty empathetic guy with a good sense of humor and sarcasm (I guess no one who's actually funny, would write this down lol. You should find it out by yourself.)
I can be pretty smart but hella dumb in the same breath. Does that even make sense?
I'm 5'11 tall, am pretty fashionable I guess and rocking a man bun. I'm more of a stocky guy tbh.
My hobbies are pretty boring, I like video games a lot, I enjoy baking and try myself more into cooking! Of course I like to hang out with my friends as well.
I'd say about myself that I'm more into chubby/curvy women, but that doesn't matter if you're not dry in responses. I appreciate any type of women. All of you are beautiful, just the way you are. Keep that always in mind!
You shouldn't be dry in responses, be open-minded and up for someone who can talk very, very much! Even more as I'm on staycation the following week lol.
Do you appreciate my effort and you are ready for a journey? Show me and leave a message with a bit about yourself!

2024.05.22 00:28 yes_no-me I’m lost

I’m lost completely in life I don’t know what I’m doing anymore there’s so much that feels wrong but I can pinpoint what it is. It’s like that feeling that you wanna curl up in a ball and cry but you can’t your body isn’t letting you
I’m trying to decide how to go, OD? But you hear all these stories about how when they don’t work they just put you in more pain than youre already in and I’m stuck do I chance it and just take a ton and hope for the best or should I think it out a bit more
I don’t know should I write letters to my family or to just say my goodbyes that day then go. It’s hard to tell because some people will find that letter as a reminder but don’t wanna throw it out but others would want one and that’s not really a question I can exactly ask my family yk?
I don’t know should I get rid of my things because some parents like to keep their kids rooms the same while others can’t bear it. I want to make this as easy for my parents and siblings to get out and to just moved on but I’m not sure how
Any advice or guidance would be so appreciated

2024.05.22 00:26 MurdexStudio That fat guy with glasses asking for guidance.

Hey Reddit,
I'm a 16-year-old guy facing some challenges that many of you might relate to. As a teenager, I've been struggling with self-esteem issues due to being overweight and frequently being the target of bullying. On top of that, I suspect I might have ADHD and potentially autism, which can make social interactions and daily life quite difficult.
Despite these struggles, I've found a passion in programming since I was just 8 years old. Despite the happiness and comfort programming brings me, it doesn't diminish the struggles I'm experiencing, and my potential ADHD further complicates things by causing me to invest excessive amounts of time in this passion. As a result, I often feel like I'm wasting time and not making visible progress in other areas of my life that could offer more immediate results. Anxiety and depression often leave me feeling isolated, incapable, and unmotivated. Even though I manage to maintain decent grades, I can't help but feel like I'm constantly falling short.
In an attempt to break out of this negative cycle, I recently took the initiative to interview for a job at McDonald's. While this was a step in the right direction in my opinion, it's hard to escape the feelings of self-doubt and lack of quantity that seem to plague me. I'm the guy who's been told he's fat, dumb, and also the guy who makes thoose jokes that no one laughs at, always left behind in social situations. It's gotten to the point where I'm seeking guidance and support from this community, as I write this post instead of making progress elsewhere.
I'd really appreciate any advice on how to start turning my life around and finding a way out of this place in life. Thanks for taking the time to read my story. I'm looking forward to hearing your suggestions and learning from your experiences.

2024.05.22 00:24 plantsandbugs This ink on paper was passed from my grandfather to my dad, and now to me. But i cant find anything about the artist. I love all the hidden faces, you can stare at it for hours. Does anyone recognize it?

This ink on paper was passed from my grandfather to my dad, and now to me. But i cant find anything about the artist. I love all the hidden faces, you can stare at it for hours. Does anyone recognize it?
I really hope im in the right sub for this 😅
Its about 4 feet tall, ink on paper (possibly a print but im not sure) with nothing on the back. Professionally framed. I did a google photo search and nothing comes up. My dad doesnt know where his father got it from, he has since passed.
2cd photo is a closeup of the details
3rd photo has hidden writings on the leaf. All i can make out is it says "Forest Heads" on the top.
4th photo is the signature, "copyright 1975 Richard Smith"
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
This piece has an insane amount of hidden details! Ive been staring at it all my life and 20 years later im still finding things i havent seen before hidden in the works. (I cant imagine how trippy it would be under the influence)
Please let me know if i should post a link to more hidden details in the comments.

2024.05.22 00:18 Routine-Love-1424 I've had success with SP but stuck in a rut and need help moving forward

Hi :)
Apologies for any grammar errors, English is not my first language. I'm a firm believer of the law since discovering it at the beginning of the year. As soon I discovered this law so much of my life made sense. I have definitely manifested things in the past, from jobs to money to previous relationships ending (I did not want them to end but realise now that I was the cause of them ending by having negative assumptions/self-concept). I know I can be a powerful manifestor and I don't doubt the law, but I feel stuck in a rut right now with a situation I am trying to manifest and would appreciate some insight on how to move forward. Buckle in as it is a long story, but you will hopefully see some successes in this post too if you are doubtful of the law yourself, which I am happy to give my insight on.
I am a woman, and my SP is also a woman. I strongly believe that I manifested her because before we met I was unintentionally manifesting my perfect partner, and bam, along comes this girl who is just my type and ticks every box. It was almost like I dreamt her up. We didn't delve straight into a relationship, we first met on discord (long-distance) just by chance and I was very intrigued by SP from the offset, almost as if I knew she would be important to me. I now know that it's having these beliefs in the first place that created what would later unfold with her. What I used to call intuition I now know was my own power. I knew that SP liked girls because we met on a discord server for the LGBTQ+ community, and we both shared our experiences of being newly out, late-blooming lesbians etc. However, SP did make it clear that she was married to a man, so despite my intrigue towards her I did not actively try and pursue anything. Her marriage and the fact she lives in a different country, I guess she felt out of reach, but I still thought about her a lot. The key is that I didn't think about her in an obsessive way, I wasn't attached or obsessed yet. I believe the barriers I saw between us stopped the attachment from growing. Remember, I didn't know about the law at this time so I didn't have the mindset that circumstances don't matter, there are no barriers etc. But I believe that my thoughts and "gut instinct" about her paired with my detachment did create movement, because she messaged me privately. I felt she was being flirty but again I didn't pursue it as she was married and seemed off limits. At this point she was merely a crush.
Fast forward a year later, I actually have a crush on someone else at this point, someone a lot more "accessible". The crush wasn't a deep one (yet) but an exciting one, but before it has chance to go anywhere my SP came fully into my life. Before this point SP had been somebody who I saw post occasionally on discord and whenever I did I would think about her, I called her my online crush jokingly to my friends etc., but we only talked on occasion and openly on the server. It was nothing deep. But this all changed just as I started crushing on someone else and suddenly SP privately messaged me, and we have never gone a day without messaging since. I'm mentioning this because I wonder if anybody can provide insight as to why my SP coming forward finally manifested when I started crushing on somebody else.
As soon as we started talking the attachment hit. My other crush I forgot about so quickly and all attention was on SP. Now that I knew her on a more personal level my feelings grew stronger and it went from an online crush to falling deeply in love. It all unfolded very naturally and authentically. Remember that SP is married so we had no intentions to fall in love, and I didn't consciously manifest this because I didn't know the law at the time, but I do believe in it because of what happened. I felt so connected to SP and I remember just feeling "intuitively" that SP felt the same. Even though she had a husband I told myself that she must be unhappy as I knew she was a lesbian who had only recently discovered her sexuality 5 years into her marriage. All of this manifested, SP revealed she had developed feelings for me and she told me that not only was she unhappy with her husband, he was very abusive and she was having doubts about her marriage. We got closer and closer and developed a deep friendship, she relied on me a lot for emotional support in her toxic marriage, and when we met in person everything was perfect. She was financially trapped in her abusive relationship but told me that as soon as she could get out she would leave and be with me. Everything between us was pure and beautiful and I had no doubts or insecurities, which is why I think I managed to manifest a perfect relationship between us. When I say perfect I mean in terms of feelings and how she was showing up for me and the fact that our feelings were reciprocated. The not perfect part was her marriage, and on reflection I think I had limiting beliefs about her leaving because I always felt it was financially impossible. I believe this is why she hasn't left. But I did have confidence and security in how she felt about me, and I knew that she was in love with me and was only with her husband due to finances, so her openness and feelings manifested. She affirmed to me many times I was the only one she loved like that. Despite the situation, I had never felt so loved, and I looked forward to our future.
But here is where things started to change, as time progressed (it had been around a year of being close to her at this point) I started to experience doubt and my self-concept started to slip. I started to really worry about the 3P even though this had never been an issue before. Before I had KNOWN she didn't love him and only loved me, but now I started having doubts of "she hasn't left yet, she must be happy with him again" even though I knew logically the reason she hadn't left was due to not being able to financially afford the divorce, scared of him etc. I would flit between that logic and the emotions I had about it all and I also started having this belief that she was going to end any chance of a future with us and say she wanted to just be friends. Well guess what, exactly that happened. I was shocked because we had such a beautiful love that I never imagined ending, but I know now that my insecure thoughts created this reality. I will say that during this time she would still tell me she was unhappy with 3P and still had hopes to be with me one day, but she just couldn't promise a future with me because it felt like emotional cheating on 3P which I understood. We remained close, still talking every day, I would say she seemed a lot more inconsistent with me in terms of the future but has always maintained the feelings are still there (just doesn't like to talk about it as much as we once did because it makes her feel guilty towards 3P). Again, analysing this, I think my own doubts have created this inconsistency because sometimes I would be positive about us, other times negative, and I think this is what was reflected to me in the 3D.
At the beginning of this year things seemed quite bad between us and we were fighting a lot, which is when I discovered the law. I started to apply the teachings and by February time I had major movement. SP was very loving, talking about a future again, things were great between us. The one thing I still haven't cracked I think, is the limiting belief about her actually being able to leave her marriage. A reminder again that she has always told me she wants to leave her marriage, the only reason she stays is logistical and financial difficulties, but sometimes I think the logistical and financial difficulties overwhelm me and cause self-limiting beliefs. I've been trying all the methods, SATS, affirmations, self-concept work and believing I am chosen, and trying to live in the end. As I said I have had some success as recent as 2 months ago, but the past month things are worse than ever and I'm almost in shock over it, which is why I need help.
SP is now telling me that she is happy with her husband, things have improved and she is no longer wanting to leave. The reason I am so shocked is because this has never been the story and it's a complete 360, it almost makes me feel like I'm living in a parallel universe (which maybe I have shifted to that reality from my own thoughts). 3P has always been abusive and I have seen it with my own eyes, so to hear this from her is baffling. I'm trying to affirm that this is just her morals talking or her fears, she is trying to be true to her marriage etc. and she doesn't mean it, but I'm really struggling and I guess I'm reacting to the 3D. I know I shouldn't be doing this but this is why I'm asking for help on how to move forward. I fully believe in the law but I almost can't believe the 360 that's happened. From deeply in love to her cooling things off slightly because of her guilt, to her now saying she wants to stay with 3P. It's almost like I can't believe I could completely flip the narrative here and part of me even feels like the old reality wasn't real.
The only saving grace here is that she has told me that she still loves me, so I don't have to work on that, but the issue is she loves both of us. And she has chosen 3P right now. And I'm shocked because I never thought she would say that. So I guess basically I'm wanting advice on how to move forward in manifesting getting my SP and having her leave the 3P. I know some people are against 3P removal but this 3P is toxic and abusive, I wouldn't want her to be with him regardless of my feelings. It's like I know that I created this but I also feel so hopeless now. I already had limiting beliefs about her leaving just for logistics, now she's saying she is happy again it's making me doubt even more. On top of that we have long distance between us whereas 3P she already has a house and a marriage and a life with him. Any insights and hope and advice to move forward would be so appreciated. Or any techniques/affirmations I could use?
Part of me wonder if this just the bridge of incidents? Weird things have been happening recently too with previous SP's showing up either in my life or in my dreams. But the SP I want, this has happened :(
I'm visiting SP in her country soon and I would love to hear all the things she used to tell me and for 3P to just not be an issue. (SP and I still very close and talk every day regardless)
I know I'm a strong manifestor I just need some help. I would love to be writing a success story in 6 months time about how SP and I made it.

2024.05.22 00:14 icecreamraider Part 1.5 - On Killing and Morality in War

On Killing and Morality in War.
I promised a follow-up to my yesterday’s post on more technical aspects of planning and executing a ground invasion. It’s coming – already started writing it… may or may not have time to finish it today.
For more context (and an “about me”) see the original post here: https://www.reddit.com/IsraelPalestine/comments/1cwvbna/the_realities_of_war_lets_kill_some_sacred_cows/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I’d like to start with a sidebar: a “personal message of sorts.” First, I appreciate all the supportive comments. Of course, there were a few with reading comprehension problems who took an issue with the concept that war can be quite a fun and exhilarating experience (despite the clear “do not recommend” theme throughout). I didn’t plan on writing this post, but felt prompted by some of the comments.
I see a lot of “moralizing” from certain characters who are convinced of their moral superiority and truly believe themselves to be the arbiters of human character.
Side Note: there are also plenty of decent, well-meaning folks who may disagree with one position or another… but do so from a thoughtful place, taking time to consider a counter-point. Nothing but respect to those. Freedom of disagreement is one of the liberties I value highly (a luxury people who live in Islamist enclaves don’t get). Regardless – nothing but respect to y’all. The world is a complicated place and many of your points I find valid, even if our conclusions may differ.
For the “wow… rape must also be fun for you… and murdering 12 million children” crowd”, I’d like to say the following: You, my friends, are among the most dangerous societal types, historically speaking. Seemingly intellectual, but lacking facts, context, and nuance – yet fully convinced of your moral and intellectual superiority. First of – congrats on being born in a place where being a moralizing peacenik is a viable option in life. Second – your “morals” just so happen to reflect the modern western moral code you were born into (and which you’ve done nothing yourself for to achieve). But, in other places, moralizing puritans like you keep the same character, but embrace a different set of “norms and morals”. In other words – a typical Islamist imam doesn’t sound much different than you in tone and conviction… his “holy book” just so happens to be Quaran rather than the ramblings of Norm Finklestein. And, of course, we’ve seen what tends to happen in other places where “anti-capitalist” and “anti-colonialist” moral puritans take hold – I was born at such a place. Let’s just say that the road from “I’m for the oppressed and anti-oppressors” to “we need to murder the reactionaries” is very short and easily crossed. And it’s always the most “righteously-outraged” who cross it first.

Anyways, back to topic of the post.
On Killing and Morality – Does Modern Combat Look like a “video game”?
I saw a comment or two that modern combat is too impersonal, looks like a video game, that it’s too easy for soldiers to kill innocents, etc., etc. I’ve also heard a similar argument from others, in unrelated circumstances.
To anyone thinking that – no, my friends. Killing people isn’t made easier by more lethal and remote weapons. I understand why it may seem that way. But, in many ways, it’s quite the opposite.
1. Military is just a mirror of its society. A military is a perfect representation of a society at large. Some soldiers will indeed be natural-born psychopaths who enjoy killing. But that’s a very tiny number – not any larger than in general population.
2. Bravado is Fake. Most younger soldiers will display a lot of bravado initially – pretend like violence doesn’t bother them (that’s why the military tries really hard to condition new recruits by trivializing the idea of “killing” – but it’s never successful).
3. The Reality. The truth is – killing shocks most soldiers to their core, no matter how much they try to suppress it and put on a brave war fighter face.
4. Understanding “Anger”. Often time you see what seems obvious anger among soldiers after a firefight. The easy explanation is the simple “of course they hate their enemy”. Except that’s not why they’re truly angry.
5. “Remote” Killing. From experience, I’ll tell you this – dealing with a remote target is much easier in the sense that it’s not as “scary”. But it’s much more difficult emotionally and mentally – though a commander will never show it to their troops. That decision takes much longer and raises many more doubts than responding to a nearby target that’s actively trying to kill your guys.
6. Why the young men and women in IDF went to war. I don’t want to start a debate about history of the region – it’s a different topic and it doesn’t change the practical realities my posts are meant to address. From a soldier’s point of view – it looks very simple:
That’s it. That’s the mindset. It’s really that simple for the guys and gals rolling into Gaza. The rest of what gets discussed on wester social media is just philosophical circle jerk to their ears.

Anyhow… I bet I’ll soon hear from the peaceniks who’ll tell me that they’d never do that, that they’d be conscious objectors, etc… To them, I’d like to ask that while you take a break from fellating yourself, don’t forget to thank the guys and the girls who do the dirty jobs so you don’t have to
And… while at it, don’t forget to apologize to the next generation of Arab girls who will be sold into a “marriage” to some fat, old toothless f*ck because some fat, comfortable hippie with an ivy league diploma believes that child rape is just an indigenous form of cultural expression and our interference with it is “colonialism”.
All for now. Peace, everybody. I'll be back with the promised post on "how to invade a place if you must".

2024.05.22 00:14 specialagentmgscarn Biographies and Historical Works about UK Monarchs

I'm a history fan in general and love biographies in particular. Monarchs and other royals make excellent biographical subjects, and I wanted to share my thoughts on a few books. I hope you'll also share thoughts and recommendations.
In no particular order:
Queen of Scots: The True Life of Mary Stuart - John Guy. I think this book has a few different titles, depending on where/when it's published, but under any name, it's superb. All historians should be great, thorough researchers, and Guy is definitely that. But he's also a wonderful prose stylist. He provides a sympathetic and realistic portrait of the tragic queen and her context.
The White King: Charles I, Traitor, Murderer, Martyr - Leanda de Lisle. Another gifted writer (her Tudor, an overview of the entire dynasty, is a rollicking read), de Lisle doesn't let Charles I off the hook in this book, but she does paint him as a multifaceted individual. I finished the book still thinking he was a disaster, but understanding a little better some of his decisions. Also, Cromwell and crew were just awful, but I didn't need this book to tell me that.
The Plantagenets and The Wars of the Roses - Dan Jones. I think alone out of the entire world, I'm not a fan of this authopresenter. I love writing with flair, but there's such a thing as too much flair, and I think we see this in these two books. I appreciate that Jones is writing for the nonspecialist, but still, if you know just about anything about the period and personalities involved, there's not much to learn here. These books are mostly flash with less substance. There is a place for storytelling - at its heart, before the Germans in the 19th century got to it, history is about storytelling. But there are better tellers of this particular story. If you want a great tale, I recommend Thomas Costain instead. A young George RR Martin read Costain's work on the Plantagenets and lists it as inspiration for A Song of Ice and Fire.
King Edward VII - Philip Magnus. Biographers have been mostly unkind to poor Bertie. Yes, he liked women. Yes, he slept with a lot of women. Yes, he had a special chair made for that purpose. But is that really all there is to the man who reigned over the British Empire and gave his name to an era? Philip Magnus doesn't waste a lot of time on the philandering. I don't think he's trying to cover anything up. Rather, in the grand scheme, it's just not that important. Instead, he speaks to Edward's role as a social icon during his long years as Prince of Wales, and then focuses on the King's diplomatic and constitutional work. It's a serious work about a serious man, and highly recommended.
King George V - Kenneth Rose. The author is definitely a fan of the King, but still doesn't do much to convince that one would want to spend much one on one time with this particular sovereign. George V was as dedicated to his duty and his empire as was his father, but the son was not nearly so interesting, personally. He turned stamp collecting into his entire personality. But I came away from the book admiring how George V did his job. He was honest and did his duty as he saw it. A boring king is much better than most of the other figures in charge of European nations in the 1930s. A great book, though I wonder why Rose did not mention that George was mercy killed. Either that came out after publication, or he thought it beneath the King's dignity. Not sure which.
The Queen: Elizabeth II and the Monarchy - Ben Pimlott. This is the only book I've ever read about Elizabeth II or her immediate family that wasn't mindbogglingly stupid. 99% of books published on Queen Elizabeth and now on King Charles III are just silly gossip, and Pimlott is perhaps the only author who attempts to address the Queen's constitutional role and the framework in which she existed. A fascinating book.
A note on Alison Weir: I actually owe a lot to Alison Weir. Like most everyone else, the Tudors sucked me in, and for me the hook was her The Six Wives of Henry VIII. But that was in middle school, and I've since grown, read more and learned more. A quote from Professor Diarmaid MacCulloch (if you haven't already, seek out his books on Thomas Cromwell, the Reformation, and Christianity) on Weir's Henry VIII: King and Court will suffice: "...hers is a great pudding of a book, which will do no harm to those who choose to read it." Her books won't hurt you, but there are better books.
The above are a few of the books I've read about the UK's monarchs. For various reasons these stood out. I'd love to hear which books are your favorites, or which to maybe avoid. Does anyone know of any books that will be published soon? I love something to look forward to.

2024.05.22 00:02 Dimpz3 What do I do if I’m having explicit images shared of me via post?

Hi, sharing this again to see if I’m able to get any other advice
I 30(F) was speaking to a man online for around 7yrs from Sweden, the relationship became sexual at some point and images were exchanged. He then decided to randomly cut off contact. Said he no longer wanted to speak and things were obviously not meant to be which I was totally understanding about, a week or so later I started receiving post to my family home with the explicit images that I had shared with him, to make it worse they were addressed to my father. He knows I come from a strict religious family and how many issues this could cause potentially endangering my life due to the honour aspect of it. I tried to catch these before anyone else did until he also started sending to my father’s workplace where I used to work and my previous colleagues viewing these images. My old boss is also a family friend who tried to hide it once he saw this guy had scrawled my name on the printed image due to him fearing for my life. He writes on each ‘I miss these or I miss you’ something along these lines and add different return addresses and names each time, only pays for them in cash. Though the post office he sends them from are around 5mins from his house each time. These have carried on for months and I’ve spoken to both UK and Swedish police, they have taken him in spoken to him, taken his electronics and even some evidence they found in his apartment. But apart from this it seems to be a waiting game as he continued to post even after he was taken into the police station, it has been passed to U.K. to conduct another statement for extra details since Swedish police are unable to do this over call/videocall. Ive tried to find lawyers or anyone who can help with any advice or anything further I can do but seem to come to dead ends with the U.K. side since they don’t have people specialising in Swedish law. I’m not sure what the next steps are and if I need someone to be with me for this statement or if there are any helplines available.
This has my life on pause where I’m afraid to leave my house before the post gets here or go into work unless I have paid to have post stopped each week. It’s had a massive impact on my mental health with me also having to take time off work and I’m unable to involve any family member or any friends around me due to the fear of judgement or being seen differently. Any advice would be welcome

2024.05.22 00:02 Xero_2469 AITA for getting annoyed at my boyfriend when he breaks down?

This is gonna be a long one, I apologise in advance.
Me and my bf has been together for 5 years and i love him dearly but ever since he got his job, he's always stressed out and gets annoyed, lashing out on me at times. I understand from his point of view as he starts work at 6 am until 4:30pm, could be later if he has overtime. His boss and seniors are trash, and his family aren't really lovingly involved in his life although he's the youngest. On the psychological factor, currently he's not diagnosed with anything but i do suspect he could have depression (i am a psychology student btw)
I get what he feels but sometimes i do not appreciate when he downgrades my own stress. Just because i don't work a full time, doesn't mean i don't feel any. I am in my 2nd year of uni, I just finished my final year project thesis part 1, i work a part time job, i have trainings and practices and assignments to catch up too. I rarely get a proper rest and i am not ok with the behaviour. If i do say something about it, he would be even more annoyed. I feel as though i need to be careful when with him.
The thing that stresses me out as well is that i have my own mental problems, struggling with depression and PTSD, taking medication and stopping them although im not supposed to, having a depression relapse and is somewhat suicidal. I am close to breaking down but i keep it because i can't afford too.
Usually communication is something we're good at but after starting the job, its a mess. I've tried to communicate but he just doesn't want to. He never wants to voice out anything because he keeps saying he's fine. Ive told him many times that i'd rather have him tell me whats wrong then letting it hurt him and me being oblivious.
For example, transportation. I can't drive and is broke so usually he drives me to my workplace and trainings. I do feel bad since i know he's tired from work but he insisted and argues with me when i tell him that i can manage on my own if needed. I told him i can call an uber or have a friend to help and even use the public transport but he just doesn't let me mainly because he said he doesnt trust me and he felt bad. I've told him multiple times that he can rest if wanted. Here's the thing, he complains quite often and is annoyed everytime he sees my schedules. He knows how busy i am and he really didn't need to send me everytime. I just do not appreciate being lashed out for something he insisted on and yes i have voiced this out but he's still hard headed...
He has told me that he doesn't like it when i don't spend much time with him or be "there for him" but it feels like im not enough atp. Everytime i want to spend time, he's always tired and he comes up to me at the wrong timings. Everytime. Either when im stressed out myself or was just medicated (back then). He knows my situation and how busy or stressed i am but it feels like he doesn't care and would use his own work stress and tiredness as excuses to reject me and such.
I don't know what to do. I know i major in psychology but i am struggling with my own shit as well and I don't think i can manage his together with mine. So everytime he breaks down, im not sure on how to even comfort him that at one point i got annoyed and so done with him. I also realised ive became a bit mean when comforting him and i just feel bad but i can't help it. We're already having plan of marriage so i want to fix it as much as possible before tying the knot.
That's it for now. Thank you if you had read it this far 🤍

2024.05.21 23:58 Kaiokenkaix100 [M4A] Long Term Bleach Roleplay

Yo, Name Is Nullsector or just Null. I'm 21M, and I've got about 11 years worth of experience when it comes to advanced roleplaying. I enjoy various types of roleplays, but I definitely like one that is diverse in its genres. I am in search of creating a long term Bleach roleplay, I mainly play male characters but I'm open to also playing female characters on the side! Here are a couple "rules'' I have:
  1. Please be advanced, I usually type up to 3 paragraphs, sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on how much I'm invested in the roleplay. there is nothing more agonizing than a one liner. I need something to work with! Also please write in 3rd person.
  2. But please, also be at least 18 to roleplay with me. I don't roleplay with minors.
  3. I use ocs, but you don't have to use an oc if you don't want to. However, it's encouraged. Before we start an rp and plan out the plot, we can share our oc's bios with each other to get ideas. I'm also open to doubles!
  4. (Important) I mainly roleplay PoC(People of color) Ocs, If you don't like that the door is over there. No exceptions. I will occasionally play a lighter skinned character as a side character but all my main characters will be PoC.
  5. A couple things/themes I enjoy include: fantasy, medieval, slice of life (not as the main theme), best friends, enemies, forbidden love, and so much more.
  6. Other Fandoms I am in if this is not your fancy: Jujutsu Kaisen, Devil May Cry, Bleach, Naruto, Cyberpunk, Dragon Ball, Tokyo Ghoul, Marvel, DC, Overwatch, Helluva Boss, Hazbin Hotel, RWBY, JJBA and more. Just ask. Of course, the roleplay doesn't have to be fandom based!
    Just ask if you have any further questions, thanks!

2024.05.21 23:54 WizarDProdigy Losing A Half Of Me - Day 20

It has been another good day. It will probably be a short one. My bosses seemed to be happy today and I tried to be talkative as well. I was in a good mood all day and everything just kind of felt good. I felt bad I wasn't at work the day before but I really needed that day. I feel more energized for taking it. Today I didn't eat the best but I made good decisions. The potato salad was warm so I had some. I wanted to go back for more but I told myself that was enough carbs. I'm proud of myself for doing that and making that decision. I also had a small piece of smoked brisket but once again didn't go overboard. I had cherry tomatoes and some other salads but didn't overeat. For dinner I did make eggs and toast again but I made spicy broccoli as well! I just threw some stuff at it and yum that broccoli hit all the right places. I had Heidelberg 21 grains and seeds toast. Food has been good and it's time to think on what to drink. Thinking about it now, I have been drinking water everyday. I haven't had a soda in I think over a week. I'm extremely proud of that since I love soda. Instead I'm being very picky when I indulge in one and will continue to do so. And don't quote me on the week I think I mentioned the last time I had one on my posts but I'll have to go back and check. Either way I'm doing well and trying my hardest.
Today I walked 40 minutes. I feel like my weight has not changed much. But that's okay. I'm going for the development of healthier habits and then I can go for the hurdle of losing weight. One step at a time. I can't take everything on all at once. I need to be patient and willing to change over time. I can't expect it in a day. I need to let the habits build up to be better than who I was. Right now I am proud of the person I am becoming over the person of 20 days ago. Little by little until it all adds up. If anyone has any thoughts or ideas on the weight loss feeling stagnant, then throw them at me. I know it won't just drastically change over night. I would just love to hear what you have to say about not overthinking it.
Totally random addition to this post but while writing this I passed by a man with his beautiful dog. She had a Sprite bottle in mouth and he told me how she hates litter so they try to pick up one piece every time they walk. I know that's out of the blue but it reminded me of something I used to do when I journaled. I would do the SBIST section or the Something Beautiful I Saw Today. Anything or everything would be put in there and it could have been just as simple as a smile. It helped me to see the beauty in the world where I could. Maybe I'll consider doing it again but the man with his dog definitely counts for one today.
My goal for tomorrow is to relax. It's a silly goal but a goal for my Tuesdays off. Chill and breathe. Have a little fun as well and clean up a bit. I sign off my conjurers of the seeds that shall grow immense power or the seeds that even die off to give the others even more immense power. Seeds are wonderful. Let them be in your foods. Toodleoo. Or toodaloo.

2024.05.21 23:53 NoConcentrate5343 Abusive Boss

I am seeking advice from you guys as I believe someone has been in my place before and I'm not alone.
I am a medical graduate from a poor country, graduated last year and came to the US with very little experience in research but knowing the basics in general.
my appointment is unpaid. when I first started, I thought the way my mentor treated me was unfriendly and maybe that's how her personality was as I believed, and my lab mate was in a similar situation as I was.
the verbal abuse is escalating, being accused of deleting files (when she really needs to refresh the web page), accused of lying in my resume that I don't know how to write a deep learning code (even though I know how to do basic stuff in python and that's what I have in my resume), working on weekends on thousands of projects and if any small mistake happen I hear "if you're really interested in this you wouldn't make any mistakes", and never hearing the words "thank you" or "good job", never having the chance to ask any questions about anything I do, when I do she replies " This is not rocket science and I don't have time for this". also being gaslighted about a paid position with the same mentor, but she ended up looking for a person with AI experience.
I thought maybe I was not good enough and that I really need to work on myself, which is the truth for everyone, but what is making me believe that this is personal, is her friend's daughter who's joined the team recently, and the girl is nice and learning the same speed I did, in the meetings the girl hears words about how great she is, and she is having multiple meetings with the boss about her questions. I really wish I was treated the same way.
the boss asks questions about something that needs to be looked up, and when I start talking about what issues we have she says, "now we're making progress". the last time she interrupted me and said to the new girl "OK you answer because you are super smart", but the girl innocently doesn't know what we're talking about.
now I am feeling super down, I know she's not going to give me a good LOR, I don't have energy to work on anything or prepare for the match next year. also, I need the visa so I don't have to waste more money and time or traveling back and forth between my country and the US
Thank you

2024.05.21 23:50 TarnishedAnus Vetdrop 1500 - What is this thing? Horse medicine related?

(I verified with the moderators this would okay to post due to how weird of an inquiry it is, but attaching images seems disallowed, but google has some images of it)
Hello! So, this machine has been stood in our storage for at least 4 years after clearing out some of our old company storage facilities, this one stemming from one owned by someone who worked with equine veterinarian care and we have no clear understanding of what this is or what it does or if it has any value beyond being recycled at the dump. The writing appears to be german, the Vetdrop1500 thing hasn't really turned up any information online as to whether this is a relevant piece of machinery to someone or if it's to be considered trash. It's been stood out there long enough that it's getting to be in the way and I need to know what to do with it.
I have only found some material claiming it to be related to non-invasive medical treatments on horses, but nothing about whether it's legit, glorified e-waste or still relevant.
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

2024.05.21 23:45 Top-Customer-8531 Would appreciate some guidance

My husband was recently given a rating of 90% (this is our initial filing) but there are 3 conditions still being evaluated- Hearing Loss, Tinnitus, and Sleep Apnea. Sleep Apnea is the one I am concerned with. He has OSA and uses a Cpap prescribed by the VA.
-His sleep problems began while he was stationed in Iceland just a few months before the incident that caused his PTSD- it was basically the perfect storm of excitement / exhaustion / light for 20 hours per day causing hyper-alert insomnia / palpable Cold War Soviet Nuclear fears / declaration of DEFCON 3 and then a terrifying flight with multiple missile alarms (where he and the entire crew thought they were going to die) over the largest Russian warship fleet that had ever assembled.
So anyway, that’s the background. I believe the holdup is proving that his sleep problems / sleep apnea started then. They rated him high for PTSD and part of the reason is his sleep issues / nightmares / insomnia. We tried contacting his old roommate on base in Iceland for a Buddy statement (he used to tell my husband to go to bed every night because he was bouncing off the walls) and he said he would write a letter but we haven’t heard from him since (3 mos). I understand, Maybe he has his own demons and doesn’t want to think about it. Anyway, we can’t seem to find anyone else he served with who would actually know him well enough to get a letter and I don’t know how else to connect it to his service. We have an appointment with VERA rep tomorrow, any suggestions would be very much appreciated. If not, I hope anyone reading this is doing well today.

2024.05.21 23:40 Juukona This is the first draft of my story

And I’d like you to review it! If you have a few minutes to share, I’d appreciate it.
This story has been cooking up in my mind for the longest time but I haven’t just gotten the time to write it out clearly. I’ve now made tons of lore and history to this world and this is the first draft of the first chapter.
I’d like to hear all the possible feedback since I’m not a writer lol, just a regular dude.
Is the dialogue good? Is the beginning intriguing? Could it keep the reader interested? Is the pacing good? And your overall impressions aswell, anything works!
v0.1
Chapter 1 Ruka, prince of Sei Hongotsu
Panel 1
A black panel where it reads:
”The Year 417”
Panel 2
Wong glazed upon the beautiful kingdom of Sei Hongotsu from atop of a tree. The two moons of this world gloomed beautifully over the kingdom and it’s huge palace.
”Kingdom of Sei Hongotsu”
Panel 3
Wong leaps from the tree with inhuman speed towards the palace.
Panel 4
There stood two guards on top of the walls of Sei Hongotsu’s palace.
”Im sorry sir, I shouldn’t have said that.”

”Tairatsu.”
Panel 10
Tairatsu looking at the older guard:
”Huh?”
”There is a war coming.”
Panel 11
Tairatsu looking at the older guard with a face of disbelief
”HUUUHHH? WHAT ARE YOU SAYING OLDIE? HAVE YOU FINALLY LOST YOUR MIND?!”
Panel 12
The old guard looking towards the horizon again.
”This is going to sound ridicilous, but I can feel it. I’ve felt like this once before.”
”Crazy.”
Panel 13
The old guard continuing:
”I never had time to have a family. I was always going somewhere, never looking back. And now, it’s too late.”
Panel 14
The older guard taking off his chain with a green emerald on it.
”This emerald has been passed through generations in my family. It’s said the one wearing it will live to see his grandchildren.”
”Huh? Where are you going with this?”
Panel 15
The older guard looking at Tairatsu with soft, fatherlike eyes.
”You already have a wife and a young boy. I want you to have this.”
Panel 16
Tairatsu looks to the older guard.
”Sir…”
Panel 17
The older guard now with a big smile with tears dropping down his face:
”You’re the closest thing I’ve had for a son.”
Panel 18
Tairatsu bawling his eyes out while the older guard notices Wong walking on top of the walls aswell.
”SIIIRRR!! I CAN’T SNIFF ACCEPT THIS!!”
Panel 19
The older guard shushing Tairatsu:
”Tairatsu, quiet down.”
”Huh?”
Panel 20
Wong walking closer and closer to the guards. The older guard yells to the man:
”You shouldn’t be here! State who you are!
Panel 21
Wong answering quietly:
”Forgive me.”
Panel 22
Wong dashing so quickly it seemed like he vanished into thin air to the guards.
”?”
Panel 23
Wong suddenly appearing behind them.
Panel 24
A katana formed from Wong’s hand, it looked like it was dripping blood and had some form of spirals on it.
Panel 25
Wong slicing Tairatsu’s head off like it was butter.
”!?”
Panel 26
Tairatsu’s head and body dropping to the ground infront of the older guard.
”TAIRATSU NO!”
Panel 27
Wong stating:
”I cut it so it was painless for him.”
”How did… it was so quick… I couldn’t even react…”
Panel 28
The older guard suddenly freezes as Wong prepares for a second strike towards the older guard in the background.
Panel 29
Wong slashing towards the older guard as he states his final words:
”Wait… you are-”
Panel 30
The older guards head dropping down to the floor as Wong continues to walk alongside the walls towards the palace.
(the chapter is still to be continued but this is the first scene)

2024.05.21 23:33 Ok-Significance-1752 Sorry for being a bit late with this story I had several other projects and schoolwork I had to do but here it is. How Martlet and Papyruses puzzle helped the entertainment industry.

Martlet and Papyrus are two names that are rather famous throughout the Undertale and Undertale yellow communities. Of course, there are many things that come to mind when you here both names. Papyrus for example is the loud. arrogant, but kind skeleton that is the brother to the funny Skeleton Man (Sans). Martlet on the other hand you might remember as kind of a mother figure to clover if you support the idea of momlet or maybe just the puzzle loving bird friend of clover. Each of these characters have unique fates for each Fanfiction a member of our beloved community writes. Whether its romance, tragedy, or a simple slice of life fanfic. So where do these two falls in my little world of a second human monster war. Well, it might be a bit more complex than one might think.

Opening UN Archives.

The second monster human war was the most destructive war in history and resulted in the destruction of several Undertale AUs and monster race losing 90% of their population all because they followed a racist and mentally Ill scientist name Chujin. As tragic of this sounds it doesn't mean people tried to improve the aftermath and make life easier. Papyrus and Martlet are a good example of this.
Martlet was born in the human year 1959 at an unknown date. Accounts of her early life and parents have been lost to history to due Asgor and the monsters general poor record keeping with Alphy's and Chujin being the only ones who kept some records of sorts. It's possible this poor record keeping is why Chujin thought the monster population was bigger than it actually was. What we do know is Martlets part the events of what the United Nations Elimination of Monsters Coalition calls Undertale Yellow are and some of her life just before the events. It's suggested by Human historians that Martlet got into puzzles when she was possibly 12 in human years but that's just a rough idea. Interviews with her few surviving friends state that she made her first puzzle at 6 years old in monster years which is roughly 14 years old in human years. To further complicate things is the fact that different monsters age differently than others with Martlets species having the closest correlation to human years out of all monsters.
Payrpus birth and exact age are harder to track down. All we know is that he and his brother Sans (Currently living in New Ebot in Colorado. Mt Ebot is in Colorado) appeared in the underground out of nowhere in 1980 on the [Redacted] of [Redacted]. Papyrus took a job as a royal guard somewhere between 1980-1981 and met Martlet possibly around that time. We both know based on William Henderson's interview with Papyrus and a mention by Flowey that they exchanged blueprints for their respective puzzles on occasions and while Papyrus describes her as his closest friend Sans stated that "She was simply my brothers pen pal" whether this was Sans simply messing with Willaim Henderson or him saying the true we'll never know.
EVENTS OF UNDERTALE YELLOW
The turning point in Martlets life came on May 12th when a certain kid named Clover fell into the underground. Clover was born on the 4th of July 1969 though his family moved to the to the town of Ebot Colorado in 1978. He never got to meet his father until 1975 due to his father's enlistment into the Unified states of the Americas army during the Vietnam war. (1962-74. This is an Alternate Vietnam the US still loses however) When his father came back, he was a drunken and PTSD ridden mess. Clover's mother was little better as she was rather neglectful and lazy. Clovers Unhealthy Family life would play a role into going ahead with his plan to find the forgotten 6 children who had gone missing throughout the 60s and 70s. He developed a fascination with cowboys when watching western movies (Particularly the old ones) along with a cowboy attire. He wore this attire proudly. Due to his family life, he matured rapidly. When his friend Integra (The soul integrity) went missing when she was dared to climb MT Ebot it was the final nail in the coffin for him and he began to prepare himself for an expedition into the mountain. He bought a Coll-Wesson revolver and rope by stealing money from his father. (He was beaten for this) on May the 12th he climbed Mt Ebot and jumped into the underground and died.... Oh, wait no Flowey brought him back to life without him knowing. Clover then met Flowey around 30 minutes later starting his journey.
Martlet in the meantime was lazily relaxing in one of the many checkpoints in the Snowdin area. The exact time she met clover is unknown, but it was most likely 1 hour after she had sent a list of suggestions to how Payprus could improve his puzzles. Martlet originally tried to follow protocol and capture clover however after seeing how peaceful clover was, she gave up on it. Then after their failed attempt to get to the hot lands, the fiasco in the wild east, and meeting Ceroba and Chujin, Ceroba (Chujin is alive in my story, but Kanko is not and was killed by integrity according to Chujin) was revealed to want clovers soul to bring back Kanako. Chujin was horrified at the thought of killing an innocent kid and went against his wife's wishes (Unknown to the others this was a ploy to gain trust) Martlet and clover spoke briefly on a hotel rooftop before going with Starlo and Chujin to face Ceroba. Ceroba knocked Martlet, Starlo, and Chujin (Who was only pretending) out. Clover battled it out with Ceroba on the 13ths of May. Clover came close to winning until Chujin drove a knife through his back killing him. Chujin then asked Ceroba to not use clovers soul to bring back monster kind but to instead to give it to Asgor so monster kind can be free. (Chujin is still the royal scientist in my AU) Ceroba after some arguing agrees with Chujin as Martlet and Starlo begin to wake up. Chujin calls the royal guard who apprehend Starlo but Martlet Barely escapes by flying away.
Knowing her time was now limited she sent the last Blueprints to Papyrus before the royal Guard burst into her home at around midnight and captured her. Martlet and Starlo were executed by undying on the 14th of May early morning. While Martlets story came to an end her legacy and puzzles did not as Papyrus received her blueprints on the 14th and would hide them from the royal guard.
EVENTS OF THE SECOND HUMAN MONSTER WAR AND PAPYRUSES RISE TO FAME.
Papyrus would with the help of Sans create more puzzle's and preserve Martlets puzzles. Then on September 4th, 1984, Frisk fell into the underground and was killed by Undying. After this Papyrus was ordered to destroy his puzzle's as they now had no use to monster kind as the invasion of the surface was inevitable. Papyrus as a sign of things to come suggested instead of destroying the puzzles they should be used to entertain monster kind's children. Undying would allow it and Papyrus who still wanted to hunt the humans though his loyalty was shaken by martlets execution agreed to be in the first wave out of the underground. On the 10th of September the monster climbed up to the surface for the first time.
The sight was so breathtaking many simply forget that they were invading. Chujin fear that the humans would be waiting for them up on the surface ready to exterminate monster kind was proven false within the first day as no human was spotted on the first day. Chujin still refused to believe reports and still ordered the invasion forward. Papyrus spent the first day trying to make more puzzles. On the 11th the town of Ebot was spotted and attacked by Asgors army and Chujins boss monsters and axis models. Papyrus was in the attack but quickly simply broken down as he watched the monsters slaughter humans indiscriminately. What made Papyrus ultimately desert the Royal Guard was the Human police's along with the 9th National Guards battalions last stand as they bought time for the civilians to evacuate the time. Papyrus stated in his interview with William Henderson decades later "IT WAS THEN ON THAT DAY I KNEW WE HAD LOST THE WAR. THE HUMANS PROVED BOTH BRAVER AND FAR KINDER THAN THE GREAT PAPYRUS AND MONSTER KIND!! IF THE GREAT PAPYRUS COULD GO BACK IN TIME HE WOULD HAVE GLADLY FOUGHT WITH THOSE BRAVE HUMANS!!"
Papyrus and later his brother Sans would go into hiding for most of the war until 1996 when they switched sides and joined the Commonwealth of Britannia's army. They would serve in the Commonwealths army until 1998 when they both retired. It was around this time when Papyrus began his journey to help the entertainment industry and carry on Martlets puzzle making legacy. The second human monster war by the time he had retired had gone on for 14 brutal years and large amounts of homes and cities had been destroyed. Papyrus would turn his attention to entertaining the many children who had lost their fathers and mothers during the ongoing conflict by hosting's puzzle solving challenges. Many of these puzzles' Martlets puzzles, and these proved to be a favorite among human children. Sans also helped and had stopped being lazily for once in his life.
When interviewed by William Henderson and asked what inspired him to do this he stated. "THE GREAT PAPYRUS SIMPLY DOESNT WATCH AS CHILDREN CRY IN THEIR SLEEPY AND REMAIN SAD. ITS NOT WHAT THE GREAT PAPYRUS DOES." The entertainment industry caught onto what Papyrus was doing in 2000 and offered to not only to fund his puzzle challenges but to make them into a game show of sorts. The show "Papyruses puzzles" was born as a result of this and has remained popular ever since. Sans found his calling in the fast-food industry and opened up his own fast-food chain to honor Grillbies who had died during the war. Papyrus would give a lot of credit to Martlet for helping him discover puzzles and funded the building of a statue in her honor.
WHAT PAPYRUS IS DOING NOW.
Papyrus is currently these days is donating much of his money to the protection of the underground charity and has recently created the Blue Bird Puzzle Corporation (Refence to Martlet). Martlet was dug up by UNEMC soldiers (United Nations Eliminations of Monsters Coalition) and was buried under a second statue made in her honor in Snowdin next to the Statue of Clover and the 6 other souls. Papyrus pays a visit to her grave once very 6 months. An inscription on her statue reads "The one that inspired THE GREAT PAPYRUS to make puzzles."

2024.05.21 23:22 Klove128 Help with an Inglorious Basterds style campaign?

Help with beginning an Inglorious Basterds style campaign?
For background, I’m a very new DM. I’ve run Matt Colville’s Dealian Tomb, and a 1-shot Haunted Mansion that I made with lots of help googling for inspiration. All these sessions were with some friends (they were/are clueless about DND), and they’re not really “nerds” so I do have to do a little extra heavy lifting to get them engaged. These were also my first and only 2 times playing DND in general, so other than them telling me they had fun and want to keep playing, I have no other idea of how well I’m doing.
They’re all big movie guys, so I thought doing a campaign in the style of Inglorious Basterds could be a lot of fun. In the Dealian tomb, one of them was taking Goblin Scalps if that gives you an indicator of why I thought about this.
My main struggle, is I’m just not really sure how I’d start a campaign like this. I want them to be a secret squad that works for a military in some war, and they build up notoriety. I feel like I can probably write characters, I just don’t really know what I’d do as far as inciting incident and basic plot beats.
If anyone has any advice to get me started or has maybe done something like this before I’d appreciate any help!
Thank you!

2024.05.21 23:08 weerock4ammy Seeking advice

If this isn't the appropriate place to ask, lmk and I will remove.
👋 I'm 40f who works in Healthcare administration (middle management). I've been on a journey of self discovery, and will be going through neuropsych testing for autism/adhd in a month.
Up until recently, I was high functioning team member (well liked, good reviews), but have hit what I think is autistic burnout. My environment is highly disruptive, there's very little structure, and I have been struggling. This isn't the only behavior, but it's the most relevant to the question.
A few weeks ago, I had a bit of a meltdown after trying to ask my boss for guidance. We normally have a trusting relationship, but this conversation went sideways and i fear the trust has been broken. While nothing bad has happened since (plenty of friendly conversations), I can't help but feel like I'm walking on eggshells.
After a lot of research and self reflection on past and current behavior, I'm about 99% certain I'm autistic. My testing isn't until mid- June, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate to bring it up until I have a legitimate diagnosis. My recent behavior isn't "normal" for me as I'm generally able to mask pretty well, so I'm really just seeking understanding from my leadership (which I genuinely believe I would get), but is it worth bringing it up? My goal would be to ask for more clear guidance and a private area I can work effectively for when I'm overstimulated.
They are generally really supportive, but I'm so worried they're going to equate it as an excuse or an easy out.
For those who have gone through something similar, how did you handle it? If you were in my position, how would you approach the conversation?
Thank you for any advice. Greatly appreciated!

2024.05.21 22:59 Mountain_Molasses769 [Tenant - US - NYC] Landlord serves surrender agreement and we strongly think they are trying to vacate us to renovate apartment and charge more in rent

[Tenant - US - NYC] Landlord serves surrender agreement and we strongly think they are trying to vacate us to renovate apartment and charge more in rent
Looking for advice, no passive-aggressive comment please, just looking for help. I understand this is a sub mostly for landlords who deal with difficult tenants, but we are respectful tenants who always pay on time and never make trouble about anything.
Recently the landlady and her son came and dropped off a Surrender Agreement (attached) and told us to vacate by August 31st, 2024. We have not signed this agreement and they just left it with us. They stated that the landlord is going to personally move into our apartment but did not put this in writing.
Background information, my father has been renting since the early 2000s since coming to America. We only have 4 units in our building and confirmed it is not rent-stabilized. However, we live in a very desirable area in Queens, NY and the rent is low compared to the other rentals in the area.
We are grateful that our rent has been really affordable but the landlord and landlady (they are in their 70s at the moment) always complained about the maintenance and cost of upkeep and how they could not charge us marketplace rent if they wanted to, yet never raised our rent like crazy. They are now preparing to transfer everything to their son and other children.
My question is if we aren't rent-stabilized, are we at least rent-controlled? because the landlord is a decent person by himself but would not keep it low out of the kindness of their heart if the area we live in is highly in demand. Yet it was never raised to similar rent in the surrounding area.
The landlord is weird about the lease as well, my father started renting in 2000 but the earliest lease I can find dates back to 2002. Landlord wouldn't renew the lease and kept it month to month until 2008 when he gave an updated lease. The landlord gave another updated lease in summer 2023 that expired in March 2024 and we asked for a new lease since but all he said was to continue making payments as usual and have been month to month again since. However, the landlord would raise rent every year or two by $50-$75 but with no written notice. We still kept track of how much rent we paid over the years just in case though.
Additional information, the landlord owns two properties(including ours) that is already paid off and also owns the house that he is currently living in. I am not sure how many units the other apartment building he owns.
The landlord has been sick recently as he is getting older and his son is getting ready to take over the property. The landlady and her son also gave notice to the unit above us to vacate. 2 out of 4 units only got this notice while the other 2 units didn't. The 2 units that didn't get notice, pay more in rent (still not close to marketplace rent, however) and are more furnished than our apartment. We assume that the son and landlady are trying to vacate both of our units so they can renovate it and finally charge it to marketplace rent but cover it up by saying that the landlord is personally moving which is a valid reason under New York's new good cause eviction law.
We also think it's retaliation that we have been asking for serious repairs. Our bathroom has had a hole in the ceiling for almost a year and we have been asking the landlord multiple times to fix it. Landlady says that he can't fix it at the moment because it's too much money to fix it. I started to document interactions and take pictures of all negligible discrepancies around the apartment also all the multiple times I have brought the issue to the landlord.
It seems like the landlord's son is keen to kick us out and making preparations once he obtains the property but I'm not sure how prepared they are legally on their side. If they try to take us to housing court to evict us, how likely would they win? My parents are in their late 50s but with minimum wage jobs so they can't afford current rent prices these days. We're tenants who never missed a payment and take care of the apartment like it's our own. We also make sure there is no damage whatsoever after all these years. We even would be willing to pay a bit more in rent as long they actually fix the stuff we ask them for and maybe touch up the apartment a bit.
Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.
