2024.05.21 19:17 29Mikusarts (reposting Kathy's back story)
 | KATHY'S BACKSTORY (updated) submitted by 29Mikusarts to HazbinHotelOCArt [link] [comments] Kathy's mother was a newly immigrated immigrant of the United States. She had to live in a poor neighbourhood alongside her dad, but when World War 1 came around, her dad was drafted and she was raped by the soldier who visited her to tell her her father was dead. Shortly after, she had the soldier's child, gave birth to Kathy and left her on the orphanage's cold doorstep before dying shortly of hypothermia. Kathy was born in July 1925 in a dingy apartment with no midwife present and therefore the labour was very difficult for her mother. A cat watched them the whole time; its luminous green eyes were observant like a guardian animal. Kathy grew up discriminated against even in the orphanage and with the Great Depression, she was sometimes forced to eat tin plates to get nutrients and most of the time, she had no food at all. Being acquainted with cats in the back alley, Kathy had a great deal of experience with trash diving and would eat fish bones (after wrangling one from a poor stray cat). Kathy's eyes are monolid and squinted. She also has white skin and plain black hair that made it obvious she was of East Asian descent. This made her even more discriminated against, especially in school, where other kids will taunt her and make fun of her eyes. She scratched her bully's eye once and got expelled for it. The orphanage forcibly locked her in her room for a month and attempted to make her malnourished, but she simply got more rebellious and would leave at certain times through the window like a cat. During World War 2, the discrimination against immigrants was at an all-time high, especially towards Italians and East Asians. Kathy was rescued from being trapped behind a metal fence with barbed wires along with other Asian immigrants and Asian-Americans by being adopted by an American when she was 17, just a month before she would officially turn 18. Kathy’s adoptive father treated her well and even gave her a cat for comfort because she was similar to one up until she turned 18 when she would receive her first “customer” who, in reality, raped her while she was locked up in her room with them. Her adoptive father would later simply dub it as a business regime that all adult girls like her must do. She reluctantly follows this mindset and continues to be pimped by him from that age and onwards. Kathy's adoptive father also had a side job selling cocaine and other types of recreational drugs. He was lucky when a customer related to the Italian mob family residing in America had bought all kinds of drugs from him at a reckless price. Kathy saw the customer's face and it was bruised up; he had a large black eye, scars that were likely from the war, and dead eyes that were twitching from withdrawal. Kathy has amassed a bunch of cats which she adopted, and because of her anxious attachment, she locks them up down in the basement where they are forced to feed off of what Kathy is only giving them and keeps on populating. Kathy actually has killed several of her customers and has witnessed her pimp kill some of them too for failing to fail or doing too much damage. Kathy was influenced by her pimp and only started killing later on. These bodies are always dumped in the basement where the cats will feed on them and eventually develop a taste for human flesh. Once, business was actually going well, and Kathy had forgotten to feed her cats for a month. When she came to check back on them again, several cats were bloody and gruesome and they had developed a taste for human flesh. Kathy died from blood loss due to the injury she obtained from one of her cats pouncing on her and scratching her eye. There was no body to be found that next morning. {Kathy died in December of 1952.} HELL KATHY Kathy arrived in hell and did sex work for a time; her customers were mostly men, but she also didn't mind women. During this time, Angel was also performing sex work and also had a customer demographic of mostly men. They were in the same strip club, but did not find much interest in each other. Angel, specifically, shrugged her off while he was counting bills and snorting cocaine. Kathy met Valentino in hell at a later date than Angel. He reveals to her that he has seen her with her adoptive father (aka Kathy's pimp) and offers to extend her duties in his porn studio along with some other lovely ladies with him. Kathy agrees, and signs her name on the contract, and sells her soul to Valentino and at his porn studio. Kathy was intended to star in heterosexual roleplay porn before lesbian sex became popular and Valentino made use of her in this genre instead. Her past works were left in the dust and her most popular work—that won a Sex-x-xi Award against Tiffany Titfucker—is a hardcore lesbian porn movie. Kathy is an energetic girl with calico patterned fur. She has a pattern of hissing at people she doesn't like but purrs in the present of those that she does like. Her ears and tail have a mind of its own, giving away what she's really feeling if you look close enough. Kathy likes saying “like”. When Kathy was recruited into Valentino's porn studio, Angel Dust originally intended to ignore her, but she took notice of him and called her out on shrugging her off the first time around. Angel Dust says he charges extra for girls which only enrages Kathy. Valentino steps in, much to Angel's dismay and Kathy was all heart eyes for him. Kathy faced a lot of similar abuse to Angel Dust, but the difference is that she was brainwashed into thinking all of it was consensual (+ she was under the influence of the love potion for most of those times). Angel Dust later brings this up to Kathy and she starts to question herself if she's really consenting to all of it. Later on, Kathy form a bond with angel dust and angel dust even introduce Kathy to charlie and the other demon in the hazbin hotel. Kathy really like's the hotel. and the demon's she meet. Kathy even meet the demon king himself "Lucifer". Charlie is just much happier than she is and hoping that Kathy will join to the path of redemption, in Charlie's shocked Kathy dissaproved and said "I'm no where on path of redemption to the heaven, just look at me I'm whore" Kathy then Left to go for a shoot for Valentino as she's walking she noticed angel dust being harrased, Kathy then scratches and bites a guy to his death that was harassing Angel Dust outside of the porn studio once. Angel Dust says he could have also dealt with that himself and shoots a guy who was aiming for Kathy's back. They're even now. Kathy smile at angel dust as they both handle the shark Mafia group and killed them Kathy was the first to get a crush on Angel Dust as angel dust was pursuing Husk, this left Kathy heartbroken but she respect angel dust and didn't intervene with their relationship. The termination came and Adam when down with the other angel's and Kathy help Charlie and angel dust to fight. the battle go on and unfortunately event happened and sirpentious died when Adam shoot him with beam. everyone's from the hotel mourn from sirpentious death. The battle stop when Lucifer came and help Charlie. A years passed after the termination and everyone know that a soul can be redeem and sirpentious is the example. Angel dust and Kathy's journey into the redemption started as they they set out on a journey to take down Valentino's porn studio and set out on a journey to emotionally heal. Kathy love's to admired Angel dust from affar as she respect angel's dust and husk relationship, she's didn't confess as she knew it won't matter. |
2024.05.21 19:17 Lou_Sputthole Do Corporals Greet Sergeants?
I’m out now, but during my 4 years, I rarely ever saw corporals greeting sergeants or responding with aye or yes sergeant. I know you’re technically supposed to, but it felt hella weird. I think I only ever encountered one sergeant who got upset by it. He was passing by a group of my seniors who were months away from EAS, including one of my former squad leaders, and they continued their conversation. “Good morning to you too, Corporal!” The sergeant yelled. My senior pretty much responded with “what the fuck?” and they started arguing until the dude realized no one was taking him seriously. They were all in the same peer group.
Later on as a corporal, I was bros with the sergeants in my platoon. They were a billet higher, and were reenlisted, but they never expected proper greetings and the like. Was this just a weird dynamic my platoon had? Or is it weird to most for corporals to greet/properly respond to sergeants?
For reference, I was infantry.

2024.05.21 19:17 Ok_Requirement_5651 im marrying the guy my ex-girlfriend cheated on me with
i know this sounds crazy, but it womt be as crazy as you think when you read the story.
my ex-girlfirend of 3 years cheated on me right after she moved countries (guess it was the distance), it fucked me up and even when i (biggest mistake of my life btw) gave her another chance, she did it again with the SAME guy. im not going to talk so much about how much it hurt, but it was safe to say it was the worst pain in my life.
they guy we’ll call him brad, brad thought she was his girlfriend too, he even lived with her for the 9 months they were together, but he never knew about me, as soon as he did, he made his best efforts to contact me, and he did, told me that she lied, even when she admitted to cheating, she lied about how many times she had sex, and lied about basically everything, and that she’s a compulsive liar and lies about tiny things to his mom from what he saw.
i confornted her, “alexa, did you do this and that?” after pushing and pushing, she fessed up even after trying to make me feel bad for bringing it up again, and even when she fessed up she said “its not like that.. we didnt have sex again, we were about to but i stopped”, i went and told brad that, he said “PFFFT” and i went back to her and told her i have solid proof of what she did (bluffing but it worked), then she fessed up, everything, including that she raped brad, and that she physically assaulted him and was pushy for him to have sex with her every single time. she sounded different, almost like a sociopath, no.. she IS a sociopath, considering she started cheating right after i buried my dad.
the first time i found out she cheated, i was so extremely hurt, the second time? i surprisingly moved on in three days, and why is that? because me and brad became best buddies, he’d tell me about all these crazy stories alexa did, and i’d be like “YOOOO SHE DID THE SAME TO ME!”, and we sort of bonded on being victims of the same abuser. we both moved on, and i just.. i dont feel that sick feeling in my stomach anymore, i dont feel hurt, it feels so good, because the first time around it took me 3 months to BEGIN healing even.
brad suggested he brings me to america, since opportunity there is better than where im from, i told him “honestly, i’d go on a paddleboat if i had to”, and he asked if im willing to do anything for it, i said yes, and he said “hear me out, let’s get married”.
obviously we’re not in love, but the idea that there’s a chance i end up marrying HIM is so funny to me, this story lacks a lot of details because i already ranted about it a million times, and this time? im not hurt enough to be complaining, this is the first funny post about what happened that i made in the last year.
if you’re curious about anything, go ahead and ask me, im alllll experienced about falling in love with an abusing sociopath rapist.

2024.05.21 19:16 HellHoundFromSpace How can I be there for my suffering pregnant friend despite my opinion that her suffering is not worth it?
Background: I have a friend who we’ll call Loretta. Loretta was born into a super religious family where if you didn’t have kids, you weren’t a “real” woman and your husband had every right to terminate the marriage. This toxic family has contributed to a LOT of PTSD and she’s still getting over some programming.
Now she’s married and they tried to have a kid a lot of times without success. She was pretty over it and finally coming to terms with things when Loretta ended up pregnant yet again when they weren’t even trying. The thing about Loretta is that pregnancy does not agree with her. Every time she has been extremely miserable, in constant pain, severely exhausted, and vomiting entire days. And that’s just within the first 2 weeks of Loretta being pregnant.
We have been friends a long time and we’re pretty close. I absolutely hate seeing her suffer like this. I just don’t think that 9 months of intense suffering is worth having a kid. I have been bringing her applesauce anytime she needs (it’s the only thing she can eat, if she can even eat that day). It’s super frustrating and disheartening to see her like this and think that things might be this way for 3/4 of a year. Someone once told her that the more she suffers in pregnancy, the healthier the baby. I think that’s messed up. She is on medication for the nausea, but it’s barely doing anything; think like a 5% difference.
I want to be there for her and I’m making deliveries and talking with her daily. But every time I hear about how awful she feels, I just bite my tongue. I just want her suffering to stop. She was doing so well and really getting on track with things and enjoying her life. And now, everything is on halt because she spends every day vomiting, sleeping, and being completely miserable.
And to put it out there cause I know someone will say something, yes, I am biased. I do miss hanging out with her and we were each other’s productivity buddies. We had trips planned and all that’s canceled. I am also child free and I’ve seen babies ruin the lives and marriages of some of my friends. People who seemed like the perfect couple and were so happy all the time, now constantly stressed, depressed, and broken down. It’s like their whole personalities switched. I don’t want to see that happen to other friends; especially not Loretta.
I’m doing my best to be supportive, but it’s difficult for me to watch her suffer like this knowing I can’t really help and that it’s just going to get worse. I don’t know what to do. When we talk, it seems like she wants me to say something in response to all of this, but I know my biased opinion is not something I should say nor that I have any right to say. So I just listen and say I’m here.
Why am I posting this here? I want advice on how I can be more supportive. How can I put my bias aside and not resent the kid for hurting my friend? What do I say when she tells me how awful she feels and asks what to do or says she doesn’t know how humans have survived as a species if they have to deal with this much pain to reproduce? And is there anything I can do to help her more?

2024.05.21 19:16 Voice_of_m AITA for not attending my nephew’s party and not wanting to meet him since birth?
I love my cousin, and she had a baby in March. I love both her, and her baby, and I’m really happy for her.
I’m going through a divorce at moment, and have lost my baby who would’ve been two months younger than my nephew. I feel terrible about it, so much to the point where I avoid looking at wedding pics or pregnancy/birth announcements even on social media. Even though I’m really happy for them, I lost my child towards the end of December. Ik it’s been 5 months. I’m still recovering mentally. But I end up thinking about what my child would’ve been like, when I see babies. (Ik I shouldn’t. I’m trying my best at working on it, but sometimes I can’t help it. I just drive home and cry)
My cousin is not aware of the marriage, divorce, my pregnancy or losing the baby. (We had a court marriage and didn’t tell anyone apart from parents. We decided to do a ceremony after a few years.)
She threw a party last month, inviting all the relatives, for a meet and greet, with my nephew and decided to do his name reveal. She lives in a different state.
I did not attend and blamed it on work.
When she reached out, I said I’m really sorry, and that I’d definitely fly down to meet her and my nephew soon. But I still can’t seem to find the courage to do that.
But I also feel her getting impatient, and might assume there’s something wrong or that I’m not happy for her. I’m really happy for, and I want the best for her and my nephew.
Idk what to do. Should I suck it up and just go meet them for a few hours? Or AITA to wait till I feel better, before meeting them?

Generation Uranium is strategically centered on the exploration and development of uranium, a pivotal element in the nuclear energy sector. Anticipated to undergo significant growth, this resource is poised to become increasingly crucial over the next decade due to the expansive surge in the nuclear power and clean energy industries. ● Valued at CAD $6.27 million with a stock price of $0.26; ● Upsizes its private placement and closed $1,000,000 in the first tranche; ● Uranium prices have quadrupled since 2020. https://preview.redd.it/5px5o4dxbt1d1.jpg?width=977&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f41ee7f8f291a5016c42cde6db2a82c731d8a794 Discover the Yath Project, Generation Uranium’s Flagship Asset Generation Uranium (TSXV:GEN, FSE:W85) is strategically focused on the exploration and development of its wholly-owned Yath Project, situated in the prolific and under-explored Thelon Basin in Nunavut, Canada. Positioned along the trend from the significant 43 million lbs Lac 50 uranium deposit, currently advanced by Latitude Uranium and under acquisition by ATHA Energy Corp, the project emphasizes the potential of this stable mining jurisdiction. ● Occupies a prime location in a significant uranium-rich basin, enhancing its exploration potential; ● Previous explorations have indicated high-grade uranium deposits, underscoring the area's richness; ● The site exhibits promising targets for near-term drilling, indicating potential for rapid development and value realization. The project is advantageously situated at the intersection of two sub-basins, the Yathkyed Basin and the Angikuni Basin. This unique location within the globally recognized unconformity basin of Thelon, Nunavut, mirrors the proven economic viability seen in other famous locations like Athabasca, Saskatchewan, and McArthur, Australia. ● The project area has recorded historical high-grade mineralization at the surface, with notable findings including 9.81%, 3.95%, and 2.14% U3O8 in surface boulders. ● Spanning 85km², the Yath Project shares boundaries with other advancing uranium projects, highlighting its strategic significance. ● Several strong gravity anomalies correlate with clay alterations along the unconformity, which have been validated by drilling and warrant further exploration. https://preview.redd.it/pq6z9c9ybt1d1.jpg?width=977&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=779cd8f5742232c0b06ac8114308bc407bd22952 Generation Uranium Increases Private Placement Offering Generation Uranium (TSXV:GEN, FSE:W85) has announced an expansion of its previously publicized non-brokered private placement. Initially set for 4,000,000 units, the offering has been increased to 5,000,000 units, aiming to raise a total of CAD$1,250,000. The first tranche closed successfully, issuing 4,000,000 units at $0.25 each, accumulating CAD$1,000,000. Each unit consists of one common share and a warrant, which allows the purchase of an additional share at $0.45 within 24 months. Notably, a prominent natural resource fund from New York and Toronto has participated among other subscribers. Key Highlights: ● Expanded from 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 units ● Raised CAD $1,000,000 in the first tranche ● Significant participation from major New York and Toronto fund https://preview.redd.it/hs7dstzybt1d1.jpg?width=977&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e5d5f5e0ba6fe14e8b994ffc6035334ecf5a576b Generation Uranium Launches on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange The company recently announced its listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "W85". This milestone was achieved on April 26th, marking a pivotal moment in Generation's drive to penetrate European investment circles. The Frankfurt Stock Exchange, renowned for processing approximately 90% of all securities transactions in Germany, plays a crucial role in elevating the Company's profile and extending its reach to an expansive network of international investors. ● Newly listed as "W85" on the FSE ● Trading commenced on April 26th ● Strategically enhancing global investor engagement https://preview.redd.it/eq4ewh10ct1d1.jpg?width=977&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9fcca0eda108dedd535b8fa2e3dd764535cf0e86 The Strategic Imperative for North American Uranium Production As global energy demands shift towards cleaner and more sustainable sources, the importance of bolstering North American uranium production is increasingly evident. Domestic production not only ensures energy security by reducing reliance on imports—which accounted for over 90% of U.S. uranium needs in recent years—but also supports the nuclear energy sector critical for achieving carbon neutrality. Enhancing local production capabilities can mitigate the risks associated with geopolitical tensions and supply disruptions, especially as the global market tightens with the nuclear sector's expected growth. ● Reduces reliance on imports, which recently covered over 90% of U.S. uranium needs. ● Aids the maintenance and growth of nuclear infrastructure essential for clean energy targets. https://preview.redd.it/uiexnnr0ct1d1.jpg?width=977&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=754dab7a12378f7712d806e1de59fb31813bec4d The Pivotal Role of Nuclear Energy in Global Energy Transition Nuclear energy stands as a cornerstone in the global shift towards sustainable and low-carbon energy sources. Offering a reliable and substantial power output, nuclear plants are integral to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), nuclear power avoids about 2 billion tonnes of CO2 emissionseach year by displacing fossil fuel-based electricity generation. As countries worldwide aim to meet stringent climate targets, nuclear energy provides a stable and scalable solution that complements intermittent renewable sources like solar and wind. ● Nuclear power prevents approximately 2 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. ● Provides a continuous, large-scale power supply, crucial for supporting the grid stability alongside renewable sources. ● Essential for achieving ambitious global carbon neutrality goals, offering significant capacity without the geographical limitations of some renewables. https://preview.redd.it/b1ilpac1ct1d1.jpg?width=977&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b2b82d67c49701039558409ff410112774b040df Generation Uranium’s Strategic Expansion and Market Impact Generation Uranium (TSXV:GEN, FSE:W85) stands as a dynamic leader in the uranium sector, capitalizing on significant opportunities within the global shift towards sustainable energy. The company's extensive efforts in exploring and developing the Yath Project in Canada's Thelon Basin illustrate its commitment to enhancing North American uranium production. With the increasing global reliance on nuclear energy as a clean and stable power source, Generation Uranium’s strategic moves—including its recent listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the expansion of its private placement—align perfectly with the anticipated growth in uranium demand. ● Robust Market Positioning: By increasing its private placement and listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Generation Uranium is poised for substantial growth, aiming to enhance global visibility and investor engagement. ● Strategic Asset Development: The exploration of the high-potential Yath Project is set to bolster the company’s resource base, supporting the broader nuclear power sector’s expansion. ● Contribution to Clean Energy Goals: As the world increasingly turns to nuclear energy to meet CO2 reduction targets, Generation Uranium’s role becomes ever more critical in ensuring a stable, low-carbon energy future. |
2024.05.21 19:16 LavenderCsalt I (31 F) broke up with Fiancé (34 M) because he screams at me like a teenager during arguments, am I making the right decision?
A few days ago I broke up with my fiancé after we came back from a trip we were on for a couple days for his birthday. We have been fighting more and more these last few months and every single time we get into an argument, he turns into what I can only describe as a teenager, he becomes incredibly immature and screams at me and gets mad over the most ridiculous things.
I am 5'3 and he towers over me at 6'4 and it honestly scares me when he screams at me. I have told him numerous times to stop reacting like that whenever we have an argument and he always apologizes later but the next time he gets angry, its the exact same blow up pattern where he screams again and behaves like he's 14 years old screaming at his mama.
His mother was living with him before and she had the same problem with him, he would scream at her too. I made a joke to her one day after they had a big fight, saying, "Am I next in line for this treatment?" and she said yes. I should have taken the warning then.
We just moved in together and we've been living together for a month. I'm honestly not happy. He does gross things like takes pictures of his big poops and shows it to me on his phone, he picks his pimples and smells them in front of me saying "smells like cheese", he picks off his nail clippings and throws them on the passenger car side floor so when I go into his car, I see 6 nail clippings regularly. He sticks his hand in his giant dogs mouth when they're playing and lets him lick all over his face after I've just seen her cleaning her behind for 30 mins prior and then he tries to kiss me.
All of this has completely turned me off and ruined the romance for me. We haven't been intimate in 2 weeks because of the amount of fighting and the gross hygiene issues I mentioned. He expects me to cook, clean up after him, do the dishes, do the laundry, make the bed every day, watch his dog when he's at work. He throws his clothes everywhere he takes them off at and I had to tell him numerous times to please put them in the hamper for me to wash.
I work from home and he works 4 hours outside the home then comes home and works remotely for another 2-3 hours then he goes into the garage and smokes for hours. When we broke up after a big fight a few days ago, he said I ruined his life and that now he has to go live in a hotel because I kicked him out. I said I won't live with someone who talks to me so disrespectfully and makes me feel unsafe to be around because of his major anger issues.
His road rage is ridiculous too, he flips people off quite a few times and honks at them and I tell him all the time he's gonna end up getting into a dangerous situation because of it. It just tells me he has a lot of growing up to do. The thought of having kids with this man sounds like a nightmare.
He bought me a diamond ruby necklace and during the break up, he said "I want that ruby necklace back so I can pawn it." he took other gifts he had gotten me over the course of our relationship and pawned those too since leaving my house. He says he wants to work on his anger and stay with me and still loves me but then in the same breath he will say its all my fault that he's in this situation now. Takes no responsibility for how he treats people and somehow always manages to be the victim.
I'm tired but I dont know if I'll regret losing him in a few months when everything is said and done. He said he can take me to court because of "Squatter laws" because I asked him to leave overnight. I own my house, he doesn't and we never signed anything. He has been incredibly rude about money too, he only contributed $750 a month in total (For rent, groceries and all the bills combined) and I paid for everything else. We had a fight about that too because he said that was "way too much". I said good luck finding anything that cheap today out there by yourself.
When we talk about getting married, he says we need to sign a prenup because he never wants to pay alimony and he buries his gold coins in the backyard and would never tell me where they are even if we were to get married. These things are so unromantic to say and makes me not even want to marry him in the first place if he's going to be so selfish about his money already.
Am I making the right decision by breaking up with him or should I try to make this work because he is saying sorry and wants to do better?

2024.05.21 19:15 EndRepulsive4825 BF impregnated someone he just met
Hello i just wanna share this, recent lang ito. 3 years and 6 months na kami. Akala ko our relationship was smooth, lagi naman kami umaalis or nagbabonding. Not until last February sobrang busy namin to the point na ilang weeks na kami hindi nagkikita or lumalabas. Bigla na lang siya naging cold sa akin, before lagi siya nag a i love you walang palya everyday. Noong mga araw na yun wala ng i love you. Tapos out of a sudden nag chat siya sa akin ayaw na daw niya, burned out na daw siya. Tinanong ko kung meron na bang iba and sahi niya yes and may nangyari na daw sa kanila and baka daw may mabuo. (we tried several times if makakabuo kami and sadly wala talaga)
Fast forward… It was March nag chat siya akin kaso ayon na nga marupok ako kasi he was my first serious relationship and hindi ko kinaya nung bigla na lang siya nakipag break sa akin so i gave him a chance. Pero hindi na ako super attached kasi nga baka mangyari na naman. Ayon months passed and okay naman kami as in all good bumalik ung dati niyang sigla. He even gave me a gift nung birthday ko with a letter. 3 days after my birthday nag message ung girl sa kanya, she sent him an ultrasound picture and confirmed pregnant si girl 10 weeks. Sobrang nawindang ako and sabi ko ay shet ito na naman. So i decided to leave him for good kasi i don’t deserve this sobra sobra na lahat. Alam niyo ba nagdududa pa siya na kanya at baka daw pinapaakonlang sa kanya and i doubt kasi ung babae ay very soft girl at bata pa walang bahid na fu** girl, kasi ilang beses pa siya hinabol ng girl before ghinost niya kasi ito.
Also the nerve kasi bread winner siya, lagi siya kinakapos tapos gumawa pa siya ng malaking ikakagastos lifetime pa. Karma na kaya ito?
So ayon, lesson learned for me. Wag maging sobrang marupok lalo na he disrespected me ng sobra. May ganito din ba kayo na experience?

2024.05.21 19:15 anonymous_anon1 Next Steps (What are My Chances) and Writing an AEE
Hey all,
I'm going to reference this post that I made earlier this month https://www.reddit.com/premedcanada/comments/1cggjyy/377_cgpaso_what_now/ and I've listed my ec's on there as well. Long story short, I've decided to do a 5th year and limit my ec's a little bit to try to get a 4.0 in the next to years - hopefully that would bump me up to at least a 3.85 cgpa. I'm wondering if that gpa is considered safe for most Ontario schools, if I were to do well on my MCAT and casper (which I'm writing this summer).
I decided I'll also try applying in my 5th year, when I'll probably have a cgpa of 3.81. I'm also going to write an AEE for UOFT to explain my mother's health condition. However, one thing I didn't mention in my last post was my struggles with symptoms of depression and ADHD, which I've been dealing with since 2nd year and went undiagnosed for as my family doctor retired. I'm actually on wait list to see a psychiatrist soon - if I were to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan (which I hope will help me stay consistent with my grades and avoid any mishaps), would that me something I could also mention in my AEE? I don't want to come off as showcasing a sobfest, but I have genuinely been struggling for some time, that being compounded with my unstable home life and family dynamics. A friend of mine mentioned that even if I were to get documentation from my psychiatrist, it would still negatively impact my application as I'd be "reaching for sympathy" rather than trying to show resilience.
For reference, I know I have the capability to get good grades, but having a C and D+ on my transcript is really bringing me down - as they were courses which I was receiving tutoring for (yes, they were orgo ;;) My tutor was really the one to push me to get a proper diagnosis for ADHD as he stated I exhibited habits that his other ADHD students also showed. I've already spoken with a doctor today who's referring me, and he said I most definetly exhbit signs of ADHD and/or mood disorders.
I hope to also build my ec's more on research, as that's my main interest, and also my creative writing by volunteering and teaching reading to kids.
Honestly any form of reassurance would help. Would I still be viable for UoFT even with an AEE, and for places like McMasteQueens. I also am planning to apply to UBC, which I actually have a 91.2% wgpa for (I am located in Ontario)
As per usually honestly any reassurance, life stories, and advice on improving my habits and locking in for these last two years would help.
PS. Please don't say "just apply to US/DO schools and/or Ireland." I get it's coming from a good place but I don't have the money for it and I honestly find it a bit more discouraging than helpful

2024.05.21 19:15 murrat10 Hunting down saddle bags for a father day surprise!
 | Hi Everyone, submitted by murrat10 to Harley [link] [comments] I need some help finding out the type of saddle bag this is. My father used to own a 1996 Heritage Soft tail in Mystic green and silver. 20 years ago he unfortunately had to sell it after my sister was born due to needing money for the family. He was heartbroken as he truly loved the bike. I was able to find one another one just like his in very good condition and low miles with a Harley dealership in Tennessee and was able to make a deal to purchase the bike! I was able to get it shipped down here and it arrives tomorrow. Super excited to hide it in my garage for the next month. Should be a fun father day surprise as it’s extremely hard to surprise him with anything. Now the only thing missing is the type of saddle bags he had on his… If anyone knows what kind of saddle bags these are that would be super helpful. I’m trying to have the bike look just like it was the day he had to sell it. Thank you in advance for any help you all can provide! I’ll do an update when I surprise him with the bike! Ride Safe! (Sorry for formatting, on mobile) |
2024.05.21 19:15 Educational-Let-1027 [Discussion] Why is my crush so worried about my mental health when he hurt me and cut contact with me years ago?
I made a post a few weeks ago about Eddie. Three years ago, I befriended “Eddie” on vacation. I liked him, and he liked me. He confided in the wrong people about his crush on me, and I found out. However, Eddie actually had a girlfriend, and cut contact with me. He was friends with mostly everyone else on social media except me. I never really got any closure or resolution around this situation. Eddie and I never spoke after the trip. So for years, I’ve always wondered about how he really felt about me.
Eddie and his girlfriend broke up two months later, but he never tried contacting me. I kind of suspected that he looked at my TikTok videos, but I also know that for months after, he wasn’t over his ex. This situation happened during the height of the pandemic, so while I knew it would be best to move on, I couldn’t. If this situation happened at any other time, I likely would’ve forgotten Eddie within a couple of weeks or months. But classes were online. I couldn’t meet anyone. For a good year, I had feelings for Eddie, but again, nothing ever came of it.
This past summer, I was heartbroken over another failed crush. I was just going through a lot in general, and I spent most of my days high on drugs. I posted TikTok videos about heartbreak and depression. Sometimes I’d post five TikToks in a night. Sometimes, I’d reupload these videos. I don’t know why. I guess I was bored. And while I still wondered about Eddie, I didn’t think he ever looked my social media.
Little did I know, Eddie saw me posting these videos online, and contacted our friends. He asked them to see if I was posting anything else on my Instagram, which is private. Nothing’s happened since then, but I’m wondering why Eddie cares. I don’t think Eddie is this evil sociopath or anything, but it’s not like he showed me any care or consideration back then when he actually hurt me. So why? Is this some misguided way of absolving himself of guilt?

2024.05.21 19:15 Professional_Disk131 Generation Uranium's Strategic Growth in the Uranium Sector (TSXV:GEN, FSE:W85)
Discover Generation Uranium (TSXV:GEN, FSE:W85). Generation Uranium is strategically centered on the exploration and development of uranium, a pivotal element in the nuclear energy sector. Anticipated to undergo significant growth, this resource is poised to become increasingly crucial over the next decade due to the expansive surge in the nuclear power and clean energy industries. ● Valued at CAD $6.27 million with a stock price of $0.26; ● Upsizes its private placement and closed $1,000,000 in the first tranche; ● Uranium prices have quadrupled since 2020. Discover the Yath Project, Generation Uranium’s Flagship Asset Generation Uranium (TSXV:GEN, FSE:W85) is strategically focused on the exploration and development of its wholly-owned Yath Project, situated in the prolific and under-explored Thelon Basin in Nunavut, Canada. Positioned along the trend from the significant 43 million lbs Lac 50 uranium deposit, currently advanced by Latitude Uranium and under acquisition by ATHA Energy Corp, the project emphasizes the potential of this stable mining jurisdiction. ● Occupies a prime location in a significant uranium-rich basin, enhancing its exploration potential; ● Previous explorations have indicated high-grade uranium deposits, underscoring the area's richness; ● The site exhibits promising targets for near-term drilling, indicating potential for rapid development and value realization. The project is advantageously situated at the intersection of two sub-basins, the Yathkyed Basin and the Angikuni Basin. This unique location within the globally recognized unconformity basin of Thelon, Nunavut, mirrors the proven economic viability seen in other famous locations like Athabasca, Saskatchewan, and McArthur, Australia. ● The project area has recorded historical high-grade mineralization at the surface, with notable findings including 9.81%, 3.95%, and 2.14% U3O8 in surface boulders. ● Spanning 85km², the Yath Project shares boundaries with other advancing uranium projects, highlighting its strategic significance. ● Several strong gravity anomalies correlate with clay alterations along the unconformity, which have been validated by drilling and warrant further exploration. Generation Uranium Increases Private Placement Offering Generation Uranium (TSXV:GEN, FSE:W85) has announced an expansion of its previously publicized non-brokered private placement. Initially set for 4,000,000 units, the offering has been increased to 5,000,000 units, aiming to raise a total of CAD$1,250,000. The first tranche closed successfully, issuing 4,000,000 units at $0.25 each, accumulating CAD$1,000,000. Each unit consists of one common share and a warrant, which allows the purchase of an additional share at $0.45 within 24 months. Notably, a prominent natural resource fund from New York and Toronto has participated among other subscribers. Key Highlights: ● Expanded from 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 units ● Raised CAD $1,000,000 in the first tranche ● Significant participation from major New York and Toronto fund Generation Uranium Launches on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange The company recently announced its listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "W85". This milestone was achieved on April 26th, marking a pivotal moment in Generation's drive to penetrate European investment circles. The Frankfurt Stock Exchange, renowned for processing approximately 90% of all securities transactions in Germany, plays a crucial role in elevating the Company's profile and extending its reach to an expansive network of international investors. ● Newly listed as "W85" on the FSE ● Trading commenced on April 26th ● Strategically enhancing global investor engagement The Strategic Imperative for North American Uranium Production As global energy demands shift towards cleaner and more sustainable sources, the importance of bolstering North American uranium production is increasingly evident. Domestic production not only ensures energy security by reducing reliance on imports—which accounted for over 90% of U.S. uranium needs in recent years—but also supports the nuclear energy sector critical for achieving carbon neutrality. Enhancing local production capabilities can mitigate the risks associated with geopolitical tensions and supply disruptions, especially as the global market tightens with the nuclear sector's expected growth. ● Reduces reliance on imports, which recently covered over 90% of U.S. uranium needs. ● Aids the maintenance and growth of nuclear infrastructure essential for clean energy targets. The Pivotal Role of Nuclear Energy in Global Energy Transition Nuclear energy stands as a cornerstone in the global shift towards sustainable and low-carbon energy sources. Offering a reliable and substantial power output, nuclear plants are integral to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), nuclear power avoids about 2 billion tonnes of CO2 emissionseach year by displacing fossil fuel-based electricity generation. As countries worldwide aim to meet stringent climate targets, nuclear energy provides a stable and scalable solution that complements intermittent renewable sources like solar and wind. ● Nuclear power prevents approximately 2 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. ● Provides a continuous, large-scale power supply, crucial for supporting the grid stability alongside renewable sources. ● Essential for achieving ambitious global carbon neutrality goals, offering significant capacity without the geographical limitations of some renewables. Generation Uranium’s Strategic Expansion and Market Impact Generation Uranium (TSXV:GEN, FSE:W85) stands as a dynamic leader in the uranium sector, capitalizing on significant opportunities within the global shift towards sustainable energy. The company's extensive efforts in exploring and developing the Yath Project in Canada's Thelon Basin illustrate its commitment to enhancing North American uranium production. With the increasing global reliance on nuclear energy as a clean and stable power source, Generation Uranium’s strategic moves—including its recent listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the expansion of its private placement—align perfectly with the anticipated growth in uranium demand. ● Robust Market Positioning: By increasing its private placement and listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Generation Uranium is poised for substantial growth, aiming to enhance global visibility and investor engagement. ● Strategic Asset Development: The exploration of the high-potential Yath Project is set to bolster the company’s resource base, supporting the broader nuclear power sector’s expansion. ● Contribution to Clean Energy Goals: As the world increasingly turns to nuclear energy to meet CO2 reduction targets, Generation Uranium’s role becomes ever more critical in ensuring a stable, low-carbon energy future.

2024.05.21 19:14 benlikesushi Is it possible that Long Covid stunts growth?
Ever since I got covid two years ago at age 14 I've had long covid and had serious brain, heart, and lung problems. I was tracking along at the 95th percentile for height, but ever since I got sick I haven't grown at all, and have fallen all the way below 50th percentile, which is shocking to my pediatrician since it usually is associated with malnutrition (I eat lots of various foods) or growth hormone deficiency, often due to corticosteroid use (which I've only used to treat asthma many years ago for a month). Could long covid permanently stunt my growth?

2024.05.21 19:14 Kindly-Sign6494 AITA for not forgiving my sister for accusing me of being an abuser, and calling the cops and CPS on me?
I(43M) have been married to my wife (45F) for 15 years now. We have 3 kids (9F, 6F and 2M).
My wife and I are kinky, we are mainly into bondage and some mild impact play (relevant).
Since we had kids, we had to cut back on our “play time”. Maintaining a vanilla sex life is already challenging with 3 kids, let alone carving the kid of alone time needed to safely engage in BDSM.
About a month ago, we asked my sister (48F) to take the kids for a weekend so we can have some alone time. She agreed to take pick them up from our house Friday evening, and drop them off Sunday night.
Saturday evening, while we were engaging in some bondage and impact play, my sister starts blowing my phone. By the time I was able to answer (I had to take care of my wife’s safety first), my sister is knocking our door down.
We were frantic, and didn’t do a good enough job at hiding the rope marks on my wife’s wrists. My sister says that her daughter is in the hospital (just a simple sprain while playing soccer)and she needs to go. And, we didn’t notice, but she clocked my wife’s “bruises”.
The next day, she arranges some alone time with my wife, and tells her if I’m abusing her, then she will support her to report me and leave me. My wife was embarrassed, but she explained the whole thing to my sister. Then she told me what happened.
I talked with my sister, and also explained the situation, even if it was very mortifying. She seemed to accept our explanation.
Fast forward two weeks, and we get the cops and a CPS agent at our front door. Apparently there was an anonymous complaint that I was physically abusing my wife and kids.
I was treated like a criminal, the kids were questioned separately, as was my wife. I didn’t even think about my sister, but my wife did. She took everyone to our bedroom, showed them our toys, and even offered to show them some homemade movies if it was going to convince them. Thankfully they believed her and then left.
My wife again called my sister, who admitted to calling the cops multiple times, but when they did nothing, she called CPS and hoped that they will investigate.
My wife again showed her our toys, went into explicit details I never wanted anyone to know about our intimate life, and finally my sister was convinced. She said that she was sorry, but she was only doing what she thought what was right.
But I was deeply hurt that she thought that I was capable of doing what she accused me of, that she could have cost me my kids, my freedom and my job. So I told her that I am not ready to forgive her.
She says that I am the AH, that it was a logical conclusion, and that I should be happy that she is willing to go this far to protect my wife and kids. So AITA?

2024.05.21 19:14 UnmotivatedRando Please help me figure out my life
I'll try and keep this as brief as possible to avoid writing a novel. Apologies, I know this post is all over the place.
Ultimately I'm struggling with 2 aspects of my life right now: deciding which direction to take my career and deciding what to do with my current finances / properties.
34M, working a high paying remote tech job in a HCOL city. Nearing the end of my rope working a high stress job that I don't enjoy, but that I am naturally good at and have made decent money doing it. Currently renting a 1br apartment in the city for $1500 a month with my girlfriend and life partner of 15 years with plans to get married in the future.
In terms of finances, I have been able to save $240k liquid cash (currently sitting in a HYSA), $65k RSU, and $60k 401k.
Have been fortunate enough to acquire 4 vacant land properties that all need attention to bring out their full potential. Working my current job, I haven't been in a place mentally to give them the attention they need.
Property summary:
-Build or buy a tiny house on wheels and move it between these properties. My jurisdiction officially allows you to stay for 2 months without issue, and could probably fudge the numbers on some of the more rural properties.
-Go all-in and build on either property #1 or property #2. Property #2 probably doesn't make the most sense because we know we wouldn't want to live there full time, but if I were to change careers and do something much lower paying I could qualify for a specific construction loan type (USDA Rural Home loan) that has very low subsidized interest rates and would allow me to hold on to more of my savings which I could then invest to help make up the difference going from a high paying to lower paying job.
-Sell some or all of the properties to buy a real house that's already built
I also really want to build things, but have no experience doing this. I do have multiple friends working in various aspects of residential construction, so I could see a path where I work for them and develop the skills needed to build things myself and with their help. If I went this route, I could see myself doing something like starting with one tiny house on wheels and living in that while I complete tiny house #2 which I would then place on one of the properties and rent either short term or to a friend, and then start building tiny house #3, etc. Ideally this path would allow me to build the skills necessary to eventually try to tackle building my own legitimate home on property #1.
Just kind of stuck here. I know I can't keep working this high stress job forever (or atleast I need a few years break, in which case AI might have taken over and made my job obsolete). If I could paint my ideal picture of a life, it would be working a job where I am actually part of a community and I get to interact with people. I would make enough money to survive, and income from investments would enable me to take 2-6 months a year to travel to LCOL areas like rural Mexico or Southeast Asia while having time to enjoy outdoor activities like motorcycle travel, snow sports, and backpacking while on the home turf. I've had these properties for a few years now and haven't taken action on them, and it's weighing on me heavier every day so I could really use all of your input to help figure out my life.

Have been fortunate enough to acquire 4 vacant land properties that all need attention to bring out their full potential. Working my current job, I haven't been in a place mentally to give them the attention they need.
Property summary:
1 - located in the city, has a driveway and parking area but no other utilities. Comps show value at $80-100k.
2 - located in small mountain town, needs a lot of work, has a small older cabin (total teardown, not salvageable), a few large dangerous trees, and needs work on the driveway. Comps @ $80-110k.
3 - lot in the woods. Has a cleared area with gravelled driveway. Comps @ $90-120k.
4 - another lot in the woods, needs driveway and clearing to be usable in any way.
2-4 are all located in a small mountain community about 1.5-2.5 hrs away depending on traffic. The area is very near a ski area and has a lot of potential for either short term or long term rentals. Ultimately while my partner and I love this area and could see spending a few months a year out here, we probably wouldn't be happy spending all our time out here because we do enjoy being in the city and being within walking/biking distance to activities.
Options with properties that I see:-Build or buy a tiny house on wheels and move it between these properties. My jurisdiction officially allows you to stay for 2 months without issue, and could probably fudge the numbers on some of the more rural properties.

2024.05.21 19:14 dentalprincess91 Not happy at current associateship
New grad, almost one year out. Left my job of 7 months bc I wasn’t busy and was just doing boring exams all day. Now I’m at busier practice, but I’m the solo doctor. When I took the job, I was told I would be working with the other associate, but he has since taken off the days I work (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) to spend more time with his kid. This office is a complete 180 from my old office, as they accept a lot more insurances including state insurance. Lots of ext’s & root canals, lots of things I haven’t done since dental school. I always feel pressured to try and not refer since none of the other associate doctors (at the other 4 offices) refer out. Granted they’re seasoned, but still.. makes me feel like a failure. I see the numbers daily and I’m always producing the lowest. Def takes a toll on my mental. I don’t have guidance or mentorship. Sometimes idk if I’m doing what’s best for the patient or practicing beyond what I’m comfortable with. Several times I’ve attempted something and bailed mid procedure bc I either couldn’t get the tooth out or get down to length on an RCT. Should I find a new job with mentorship or stick it out? Don’t know how I’m supposed to learn/grow without any guidance.. I can only do as much as I know each time. I know at the end of the day it’s my license. This sucks.

2024.05.21 19:14 Normodox Israeli inspectors take down Associated Press webcam on Gaza border
The Associated Press feed revealed "the activities of the IDF forces and endangered our fighters," Jerusalem said.
(May 21, 2024 / JNS) Israel’s Communications Ministry on Tuesday seized an Associated Press webcam in the southern town of Sderot, accusing the agency of airing troop movements in the Gaza Strip and providing services to Al Jazeera, in violation of a law that prohibits the outlet from operating in the country.
“The confiscated camera broadcast the northern Gaza Strip live on the Al Jazeera channel in violation of the law,” the Ministry of Communications said in a statement shared with JNS, adding that the AP live feed revealed “the activities of the IDF forces and endangered our fighters.”
“The AP agency was warned last week that, according to the law and the government’s decision, they are prohibited from providing broadcasts to Al Jazeera,” the missive claimed. “However, they chose to continue the channel’s broadcast, which caused real harm to state security.”
The confiscated equipment was said to include a camera, tripod, two microphones and live broadcasting equipment.
“Following the government’s decision and the order of the minister of communications, the Ministry of Communications will continue to carry out enforcement actions in so far as is necessary to limit broadcasts that harm the security of the state,” concluded the statement.
Tuesday’s action followed the Cabinet’s approval on May 5 of action under a Knesset law passed last month to outlaw Al Jazeera.
The Knesset voted 71-10 for the bill that gave Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the authority to shut down the Qatari broadcaster, which Jerusalem has accused of aiding the Hamas terrorist group in Gaza.
The bill states that the communications minister may act against a foreign channel that harms the state’s security, with the consent of the prime minister and the approval of the cabinet or the government.
The measures enable authorities to order television providers to stop broadcasting the outlet; close its offices in Israel; seize its equipment; shut down its website; and revoke press credentials for staff.
Al Jazeera is among thousands of clients that pay for live video feeds from the Associated Press and other international news agencies.
The AP on Tuesday said it condemned “in the strongest terms the actions of the Israeli government to shut down our longstanding live feed showing a view into Gaza and seize AP equipment.”
“The shutdown was not based on the content of the feed but rather an abusive use by the Israeli government of the country’s new foreign broadcaster law,” added the organization.
AP Vice President of Corporate Communications Lauren Easton urged Jerusalem “to return our equipment and enable us to reinstate our live feed immediately so we can continue to provide this important visual journalism to thousands of media outlets around the world.”
The AP claimed it has complied with Israel’s military censorship rules, which restrict broadcasts of sensitive footage like IDF troop movements.
Late last year, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) called on the U.S. Justice Department to investigate AP following allegations that one of its freelance photojournalists might have had foreknowledge of the Oct. 7 mass murders by Hamas terrorists in Israel’s northwestern Negev.

2024.05.21 19:14 CaptainFair01 Rebuking hotness
I have a trend now of blocking IG accounts of people that are (insanely) hot.
'Cause, you know. Those damn IG reels are going to show you people squating, belly dancing, running an ironman or showing off their lats... whether you want to see it at the moment or not. And they'll show you the same several people repeatedly. Whether you open the whole thing; put a like on it; or, not. I know they're monitoring what exactly makes a user stop scrolling. I assume that's it. And, by God, does IG know my poison. Even types I've never really mentioned or said anywhere for years. They got that type too.
Anyway, it's clearly not healthy fawning and lusting over 40 different people, that you'll never have any contact with, every damn day. No one's at fault. I'm just trying to moderate as best I can. I AM a very sex-positive but I still have a life. And I use IG for networking in addition to personal stuff. I can't be all the way ON all day, everyday, all month.
In other news: I ate 3 different things that do NOT match, for lunch. I'm sure I'll pay for it before the day's out. 🤣
Hope you're well! 😎

2024.05.21 19:13 Throwawayvet2022 24-hour Post Op Report
I read this sub pretty religiously for about a month before my procedure. I wasn't planning on writing anything post-op, but I decided to because I think most men who have things go well often won't follow up on this sub again. I saw a lot of horror stories posted here because that group is more likely to engage post-op to share their experiences. I certainly don't mean to come off as dismissive regarding anyone else's experience, and everyone should go into this knowing the risks.
Anyway, I'm just about to hit 24-hours post-procedure. The procedure itself was easier than a dental appointment. I certainly had some stress and anxiety going into wondering if I was making the right decision and how painful the procedure might be. I opted for the valium, which my doc gives via injection - no luck on that; he couldn't get a good vein, so I ended up going without. Getting stuck by the needle in my arm and then removing the tape from my arm hair was the most painful part of the procedure. Otherwise, in the actual procedure, I felt essentially nothing then, maybe a 1 or 2 out of 10 sensations during the snip and initial no-scalpel entry. Literally, everyday day life with balls is more painful when you sit on them the wrong way or something. No pulling sensations or anything else. All in the procedure lasted probably 15-20 minutes, and I just chatted with the doctor through the whole thing. He threw in a single dissolvable stitch to close the no-scalpel entry point. I think the doctor you chose makes a difference, I went with a urologist who also does microsurgery reversals. The procedure for me was closed on both ends and cauterized, btw.
He sent me home with a course of antibiotics and underwear full of gauze. I had some slight blood spotting into the gauze for a few hours, and the tiniest of amount this morning when I woke up. I've had zero bruising so far (still early, could develop, I suppose), and I had almost zero swelling. Maybe a little fit directly at the inflamed incision site, but that's it. I started on my previous script for meloxicam and took a healthy dose of Tylenol last night. Pain was about a 2/10, with a flicked in the left nut sensation. I have a similar feeling today, maybe closer to 1.5/10 now, and I'm not taking any pain meds. I've just been laid up on the couch, icing as much as possible to stay ahead of the swelling, and taking it easy.
That's it. So far, so good; hopefully, this continues, and I plan to keep taking it easier to avoid any complications. I think many guys do too much too soon and end up with some serious bleeding or swelling that significantly delays their healing. I'm a very active early 30-year-old guy, but I'm just trying to temper my expectations and probably won't return to the gym until I hit the two-week mark to play it safe.

2024.05.21 19:13 UniCarCzar First gig was incredible
I bought a DDJ-400 last April because I had been thinking of DJing as a hobby for fun. Well after a year practicing, I asked a friend who throws pool parties during the summer months to DJ one of his pool parties. Roughly around 200 people attend.
Initially he said I would only need to DJ for half the party as he had another DJ the second half. So about 2.5hrs. I’ve done that in the bedroom and have plenty of music. I bought an Opus Quad as an upgrade, mainly for me, but also the pool party gave me an excuse.
About two weeks before, he told me the other DJ got a paid gig and I asked if I’d be okay doing the whole 5hrs. I said sure with all the confidence in the world.
I was a little nervous leading up to it as having attending the parties before no one is really dancing or paying attention to the music too much.
The day of came and my heart was racing. I played disco and then half way through transitioned to house and dancier music and let me tell you people started dancing in front of me.
People kept coming up telling me how much they had been loving the music and if I needed anything. Lots of thumbs up. I knew quite a bit of people but most of them didn’t know I was a bedroom DJ. Some people took my info cause they want to book me for their parties.
I recorded the set; all 5.5hrs of it. My heart was racing the entire time. I felt pretty high and exhilarated right after it. It was something else. I only messed up once when the songs drifted apart too much and I panicked and just swapped volumes quickly. No one noticed but I knew.

2024.05.21 19:13 _Boxwood_ How can I clip the nails of my very skittish cat
So we saved a fluffy cat almost a year ago who was extremely sick and malnourished. We thought she was around 4 months but she ended up being 6 months. She's scared of anything that moves and will run away at any given chance. So far she's learned to allow us to pet her at rare times but shes still afraid of things. She's still deathly afraid of being picked up which is a problem as we need to clip her nails that way. She doesnt swat but she tends to get stuck on carpets and beds because her nails are so long. My mom has managed to clip her nails twice but both times ended with getting peed on by the cat. So how can we make her feel comfortable with getting her nails clipped? *I should also mention she's partially blind
