I'd love to hear some ideas for good names for a trivia team, for an all lawyers fundraiser. Some folks at Alston Bird have a running name called Scooby Due Diligence and I just have to top it this year.

TDLR: Ex texted a bestfriend behind my back ending of last year ruining the friendship. Broke up with her, during that time I rekindled with someone else while occasionally texting my ex still not back together. Felt like I missed the warmth of my ex and dropped the new girl going back to my ex fully beginning of this year. Missed the support and love from my ex that I never truly got. Girl told me ex about our dirty laundry, causing trust issues in the whole relationship. Tried fixing them by removing girls, sharing location, etc. I felt scared my ex is gonna get revenge and started being distant at the end which pushed her away as well. We broke up beginning of May this year. I thought we would get back together as always, found out she’s been adding guys she removed a long time ago. I got upset and texted her ugly nasty shit, and texted her dad saying his daughter is a “sl*t” etc. I thought by doing this I’d move on quicker, he told me to leave them alone. I understand I fucked up if I had received a message like this from my daughter ex I’d be fuming too. I want to apologize to the parents for the lack of character I had but feel like it’s too late to backtrack on the stupid shit I said. Am I being selfish by sending a text?
Hello all, This is gonna be long. I really appreciate anyone who takes time to read and help with some words. I have no therapist or friends this seems like the best option.
I have never posted on here but seriously feel torn up. I know that I have been in the wrong in all this but I truly was dealing with a weed addiction till I finally sobered up and realized how fucked I am. This relationship has been a rollercoaster, but something I didn’t want to get off. She showed me many first things and it was my longest relationship of three years. She cared for me when I had no job, to every job, skinny fat, etc and I did the same with her struggles. To make a long story short back in August of 2023 I found my ex texting one of my bestfriends that worked with her at the time(I had quit that spot and found another job). No lust or crazy texts just work laughing but I confronted her about it it was jealousy and she said it was nothing.
After a few weeks come September I kept feeling this jealousy boil over. If she had texted anybody else I wouldn’t have said much but I felt like cause it was MY friend she should have brought up the convo they had even if it was light and funny. I was pestering her about him, she then decided to text him behind my back saying I’m being jealous. They text back and forth and he’s calling me a kid and disrespecting me even though he’s known me for longer, and she was laughing sending him laughing emojis and stuff. He then texted me asking me to fight because somehow she told him I threatened him. I got pissed she ruined a friendship and told her I’m done blocked her on everything. From September to December 2023 I was all alone focused on work and meeting new people. In December I rekindled with a girl I knew no feelings just stupid lust. While talking to the new girl, my ex sends me a heartfelt email since I had blocked her on everything, saying she’s sorry and understands I don’t want to hear from her but wishes me the best. I softened up and began texting her here and there, but still was talking to the new girl.
After a while in Jan/Feb 2024 I met with the girl I had rekindled with and we had done some things. However during this time I started seriously missing my ex and the way I felt comfortable around her. So I was talking to my ex again fully and wanted to make it work again. The problem came when my ex wanted to visit me since she’s long distance. She flew all the way to me and everything was good, till that new girl decided she wasn’t getting my attention anymore and texted my ex lying to her telling her I was begging for her etc. My ex broke down and asked why and I childishly said because of what she had done by texting my bestfriend and that we weren’t together. She cried in my arms and I balled with her cause I truly didn’t want to hurt this girl like this. I offered her to leave me and understood I fucked up. But to my surprise she wanted to stay and asked to fix our trust. I tried my hardest to fix it, I gave her my social passwords, she had my location, everything she wanted she got, even removed all girl friends to gain trust and she removed guys. However after some time around March 2024 I felt like all that I did wasn’t building up that trust again, and I began having flashbacks to trauma where I got left and cheated on within a week. I felt like my ex got back with me to seek revenge. So I started pushing her away scared.
During April she came again to visit me and booked a flight without asking me to pay or anything and genuinely asked to spend every minute of the day with me. I should have taken her coming to see me without me asking as her sign of true love but I ignored it.
Beginning of May 2024 came and our problems began. I started seeing her go out with friends to bars, even to houses I didn’t know and she would take a little longer to respond. I began thinking something is up due to my trauma and started being distant with her. She kept asking me to stop doing this, and cried a few times but I was truly scared of behind hurt and thought by being distant I’m protecting myself. She told me this once and it’s stuck with me “you’re gonna regret doing this”. After that convo she became cold with me too to the point where I didn’t even know who she was anymore. Our final convo was May10. We argued on the phone, and she blamed me for everything, I brought my ex bestfriend and her and how they hurt me she said she had already apologized and I said I did too for cheating but I knew what I did hurt more. She told me to leave her tf alone that I haven’t been the man she needs saying she’s seen better guys treat gfs better etc. That she wants time alone that she wouldn’t go around like I did with girls fucking randoms guys. I blocked her but I genuinely thought we would breakup and get back together as always.
However a week passed and I heard nothing. For some reason I felt like I deserved an apology cause during our arguments I was being more respectful and it felt like she kept saying stuff on purpose to hurt me. I saw she had logged onto my socials and I locked her out and logged out of her accounts cause I felt like it was better. However I was still stalking her Instagram following number and began seeing it go up fast. I started getting guys being suggested to me that follow her and I noticed it was all guys she used to work with and removed for “trust”. I felt broken cause it felt like she did what my first ex with the trauma did , just move on within a week. I felt sad, but the sadness turned to anger. I thought by burning bridges I could move on quicker. And I began blowing her up with calls to no answer, so I switched to texting and said some of the most heinous shit I’ve said to anyone. I then texted her mom telling her her daughter got a new type being childish but nothing too disrespectful to the mom. I texted the dad however and called his daughter names, which he got back at me with a threat and called me childish and that he’s happy his daughter isn’t with someone like me and to lose their numbers. I said lmao cool being even more childish.
I genuinely felt bad the same day I texted the parents this. I felt like bringing them into childish arguments and saying what I said made me look like a true child which I try not to be fast in situations but I was impatient and dumb. I felt like I was the one being stubborn in the relationship and pushed her away, then got upset when she did walk away I just didn’t appreciate her at the end and it hurts my soul I’ve felt this heaviness on my chest ever since like I lost the person for me. I know blaming it on the weed is childish but I feel like it game me that I don’t give a F feeling till it bit me in the ass. I spoke to my only friend and my parents who didn’t even accept the relationship at first due to culture, but they told me I had fucked up and told me with time they will heal, and that in time I can send a message to the parents if I wanted to to get my conscious clear and be able to move on with a better image.
Is it smart to reach back out to the parents to show respect as an adult or just let them be? I know this was a lot but it’s on my heart and brain everyday since. A part of me says apologize in the hopes of getting this girl back one day which I know is selfish, the bigger part of me just hates the image I left of myself cause I have never left a relationship in this manner

TANKDOM!
I'm so glad my idea of doing a solid for Dracula by mentioning the town forum on air worked so well. It was totally my idea and not Caroline's. Don't listen to her. Probably isn't going to rain today.

So recently, a few years ago i had a idea to make a joke mod about the first unfinished guy on this post, his name is red skinned martin and he is supposed to be a bootleg copy of Mario mixed with peppino based on a edit of a racist Peppino comic that was found on twitter and i tought like ''hm, this edit is very funny" then i decided to make it into a mod but soon it got cancelled because i forgot about it then i decided to get it back to being alive. The second post is a joke thing i made for the story of undertale discord server where i made a playable frisk rig for Sugary Spire (leaked build) wich i posted ase and gif file, its public and for everyone to use for whatever mod. The third post is a mod wich I'm making wich would be Pinolino's Great Grand Adventure: Regarged if it was made in Sugary Spire wich is basically called Suggary Worlds and its gonna have a really slow devlopment. The fourth and fifth post is about a caracther i made for a mod wich me and my friend MrGamer123 are working on, his name is Lester Louie and obviously... he is a Luigi bootleg, the sixth post is the name of the mod wich is Glarted UP, "what is Glarted UP?" Glarted up is a pinoslop type of mod but with effort. Last post, this is a mod that i got the ownership of because a terrible person in the PT community named Sandibles got exposed by me, Greg., Nebulabubbles and thenighthack for grooming, the mod is a greglike named Fleg, since i now have ownership of it i can contact a bunch of my friends to plan on remaking it without such a terrible person. Lastly, i have one more thing to talk about, one of my friends stixel got able to have the ownership of new Pinolike mod because of the same reason i have Fleg's ownership and I'm now planning on helping him on the making of the mod when i get able to contact him via gamejolt since he doesn't have a discord.

Since FNaF: Into The Pit was revealed to the public, there were a lot of theories about "What new things will this game bring that, perhaps, were not completely clear in the novel?" Well, after some leaked info about Jeff, the owner of Jeff's Pizza (Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in the past), some people (me included) think that is very possible that his true identity was Michael Afton all along. This even made more sense as a possibility when Mega Cat Studios revealed a glimpse of Jeff in the game; purple-skinned, for some strange reason, and that it was revealed since the Graphic Novel Edition that "Into The Pit" was set in 2020.
Now, Michael being Jeff make that some weird things about Jeff's original description in the novel make a lot of sense:

Today, like all other days, Jeff looked as if he hadn’t slept in a week. His dark hair was sticking up in weird places, and he had alarming bags under his bloodshot eyes. It was funny. Jeff’s expression never changed. He looked tired and miserable even when he was being extra nice. And when he thought about it, Jeff was kind of creepy, too. He looked a hundred years old but was probably just thirty. With those heavy-lidded, bloodshot eyes, the stained apron, and the slow speech and movement, he was like a zombie pizza chef.

The last description is the most important, because we all know since FNaF: Sister Location's Custom Night minigames that Michael ended up looking like a zombie with a slow pace, and from his monologue it is known that his intonation was also just as slow. And if you take a quick look at what a one hundred year old person looks like, they sadly fit to a zombie-like description (most of the time.)
The most interesting thing to me about that description is the mention of Jeff, probably, being a 30 year old guy, because... why did they draw such a direct conclusion, and on top of that, classify it as a "probability"? If I have to guess, it's because that description was meant to reveal the age Michael Afton had when he died.
This alone is not enough to draw a specific conclusion about the chronological location of FNaF: Sister Location, beyond the age one can assume of Michael in 1983, which still leaves us with a wide repertoire of options. But this is where a page from the Survival Logbook comes in that I had not given enough attention to at the time, but now makes me believe that it was always the answer; the page 32 39.
This is one of the few pages that Mike uses to draw something. At the time, most of us thought that it was only supposed to depict that this book was clearly meant to reveal Golden Freddy's soul name. And even if I still believe that's the case, there's still the question of "why would Mike draw a tombstone in the first place?" Perhaps we should take a look to what the page is about:

One way to find hope in a seemingly hopeless situation is to fast-forward and try peeking into the future. Let's give it a try-what will your like look like in five years?

Most of the people believe the book is meant to give us a better look at Mike during the events of FNaF 1, with several of us believing the same despite the book actually being meta (not an in-universe logbook). Since the strongest stance that FNaF: Sister Location takes place after FNaF 1, because Michael mentions having already met the Missing Children and the "Dittophobia" story revealing lore of Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rental, is very clear for most of us that Michael had his first death after FNaF 1.
If this page was meant to depict that he died five years later, and "Into The Pit" was meant to reveal that he died being a 30 years old guy, then not only we would reach the conclusion that FNaF: Sister Location is set in 1998, but also that Mike would have been a 25 year old guy during FNaF 1. Now, where we've seen that same age for Mike before?

At twenty-five years old, Mike was okay with his age. He was cool with his looks, too. He was five foot six and in pretty good shape, even though he didn’t have time to work out too much. He didn’t think his dark brown hair, hazel eyes, and regular features were particularly handsome, but they weren’t ugly, either.

Yes, FNaF: The Offical Movie Novel, where Mike Schmidt is a 25 year old guy. We have the right to question whether Mike's age during the year 2000 in which the movie takes place is appropriate for what he was in FNaF 1 for obvious reasons, but at the same time, it is a probability considering what Scott Cawthon said he had planned to do with these films during Dawko's interview:

and people who go to see the movie aren't gonna want to see a retelling of the books. They're gonna want to see the first game. They're gonna want to see a retelling of the story that got them interested in the first place, you know? The first game had the right atmosphere, the right characters, and that's what people are gonna want. And um, ideally, if the first movie does really well, I think it will work great as a trilogy. Um, Five Nights at Freddy's 1, Five Nights at Freddy's 2, and Five Nights at Freddy's 3, based on the first three games.

And since then, there were a lot of statements either from Scott and the people involved on the movie themselfs that FNaF: The Movie was clearly meant to reimagine the first game.
My conclusion would be that FNaF: Sister Location takes place in 1998 (not sure in what season tho, maybe Autumn?) and that Michael Afton was a 15 year old kid during 1983, a 25 year old guy in 1993, and finally, a 30 year old man in 1998. What do you think?

What are we guessing for the G league team name?

So basically, I’m in high school and there’s this new guy who’s popular right now. But he makes me so uncomfortable.
Two or three weeks ago were in pe and warming up and we had to do squats. So I did. I heard giggling behind me but didn’t think much of it since it wasn’t really any of my business. Well later on one of the girls in our PE group told me the new guy intentionally positioned himself behind me, for obvious reasons and kept making vulgar expressions. It’s not the first time I’ve received unsolicited attention from guys so I brushed it off.
Well today I was sat next to him in IT class and we spoke for a bit. But then he touched my thigh. I didn’t remember at the time his little antics in pe a few weeks ago because I have loads of tests recently and again, I don’t really care or think much about the people in my school. So I didn’t think much of this gesture, just thought it was a body language habit of him mid conversation like how people playfully shove you if you say something funny that’s out of pocket or hold your wrist when they are excited about what they’re telling you.
Well then I walk into homeroom and everyone is chanting this guy’s name. Then my friend told me it was because someone saw him touch my thigh and now they think he’s hitting or whatever. Obviously I was annoyed but all the guy did was smile and said he wishes he’d touched my ass instead and let the rumours continue.
It’s starting to bother me. I don’t wanna report him because the teachers like retelling those sorts of reports to the student during personal development week. They think they’re being discreet by only refraining from saying the name. But obviously everyone knows who they’re on about. On the other hand, I don’t want to be alone with this guy to confront him personally because I don’t wanna get assaulted or worse. I don’t know what to do.

Hey everyone! For the past year I've been developing Parklander, a game inspired by Japan's national parks which I hope to launch on Kickstarter later this year. This is part of wider project called Parks & Japan, which aims to support conservation efforts and local communities by generating funding through fun park-inspired products.

I've been deep in worldbuilding recently, filling in the holes in my logic, but I have finally nailed the concept! So, here it is...
SUMMARY
"Explore a mysterious realm dominated by spirits as you search for Parklander, an ancient treasure said to hold the key to freedom."
DESCRIPTION
"A treacherous ocean current encircles the majority of land on {World Name}, separating humans from a vast and untouched wilderness inhabited by spirits. Although it exudes an otherworldly presence that most find unsettling, you grow ever curious, yearning to know what lies beyond the water.
Having sensed a great turmoil in your heart, a mysterious bird grants you safe passage across the tumultuous ocean, inviting you to discover the secrets of the spirit realm. Deep in the heart of nature, you must befriend spirits, battle other explorers, and embrace life in the wild as you seek to unravel the greatest mystery of all: the whereabouts of Parklander - an ancient treasure said to bring boundless freedom to those who find it."
The gameplay is still under development, but players will build up a team of spirits with whom they must exchange something of value in order to have them battle on their behalf. So rather than energy or mana, it's more like making a promise or tribute to the spirit, reflecting the idea that you can't just take from nature. Alongside your Spirit and Promise cards, there will be another card type called Encounters which enable you to temporarily 'distract' your opponent. There will likely be some kind of artefact based card type too.
I'd love to hear your thoughts! 😄

I'm in my early 20s and the company I'm with is the first full time role I've been in. I won't say the company name specifically but they are a large company in industry in the UK. I'm currently working as an accounts assistant there. I'm not trying to bash the company, this is just my honest account.
I find that my coworkers and managers are friendly but the whole environment is extremely chaotic and there are tonnes of communication issues. A few days ago, out of several employees, I was the only one in the office. My coworkers who all have at least a decade experience on me are having to deal with demanding bosses and therefore my development is hindered because I'm getting thrown in the deep end as I'm doing task where there's been very minimal explanation. Along with tasks which I've heard my bosses laugh at because of how pointless they are. And my manager gets very passive-aggressive when I try and ask her to clarify something. And if I mess up on something, I have to deal with the blowback from the other managers. I often leave the office more stressed than I came in.
My original team (which was in AR) isn't much better either. My manager there is very two faced and openly prefers my coworker saying that my coworker is the only one she trusts doing certain tasks (a conversation which I wasn't meant to hear), even though she has given that coworker extra training and I haven't been given any even though we do the exact same job. Is this normal within companies in the UK? I don't believe so as the turnover rate for my company is shocking.
However, the main reason I'm writing this post is because 6 months ago I was made permanent at my place and one of the conditions before I receive study support for ACCA is that my salary will be docked by £1k because of the support I requested. Stupid idea for me to accept but my manager stated that they'll provide me with everything and it would take about 6 months for them to finalise a contract to send to me.
Fast forward 6 months later, I received the contract and it was absolutely ridiculous. The contract I was given was very vaguely worded but what I interpreted is that they won't pay for any study material or travel expenses and if I was to stop ACCA if there was a personal circumstance, I would need to pay EVERYTHING back. And I have to stay at the company for another 2 years to avoid paying everything back when I finish ACCA (which will take at least 3 years). And considering how chaotic the situation is at my company, I don't see any career progression happening once I finish or get part-qualified. I have not signed this contract and don't plan to. So I've been conned out of £1k pretty much. At least I passed the exam I did back in March otherwise I would be 100x more angry.
Surely there are better opportunities elsewhere? Is it the right decision to start looking as I have been at my place for one year?

im trying to get over him, and im just thinking, what if i never find someone i like, like really like, there's like a couple of guys that are interested in me and they're like (no offense) way better looking than him but they dont have that trait im looking for, their personality just doesnt align with mine.
i met this guy online, hes so funny, like ive never met someone as funny as him. I LIKED HIM FOR AWHILE, then stopped liking him, then liked him again, im pretty sure at some point he liked ME BACK, but i knew that we both aren't confessing to eachother, and i was actually just unsure if he liked me
he started sending me ig reels of silly things like "this initial is cute" and it'd be an initial that's not in my name and put 😍 emojis on it cs thats his humor
i rant abt him all the time to my friend, cs i thought we were going somewhere.
then he stopped talking to me for a couple of days cs he has a new group of friends cs they have some sort of prom goin on, then all he did was send me updates about his prom.
this morning, he messaged me, saying he was gonna ask a girl out. knowing him i thought he was only asking her out cs he had no one else to go with, but the girl reacted with a heart emoji to his message.
then a few hours later i catch him playing my fav game (he knows its my fav) w her and it just hurted me lmao
like im not even sure if right now i like him like that, he doesnt have any redeeming physical qualities, he plays guitar which is cool.. but what rlly attracted me to him was that he was funny and we just got along really well. disliking the same people, reacting the same way when someone does smth crazy. same humor
i dont think im jealous? i think im just scared that hes gonna ditch me, once they turn into a couple hes gonna forget abt me, but i understand, id hate for my future bf to have a girl bsf, so ill respect the girl's boundaries.
idk maybe im rushing too fast to date, but ive never liked someone else like i like him . and i dont like people that much, i find most of the ppl i talk to really atrocious, idk how to explain it
so im js worried that if i lose him, hes all im gonna think abt when i talk to new ppl, how they dont have his personality and stuff and its PISSING ME OFF AND MAKING ME SAD
hes genuinely had a BIG effect on my recent humor, i wasnt like this 8 months ago when we met.
and also js recently ever guy ive liked ive just hated right after, like right now i hate him, i wanna unfriend him on everything.
im just really scared that ill compare everyone i meet to him, maybe i just havent found the right person yet, but its genuinely hard
ALSO LMAO, at some point I KNEW i needed to get over him, i watched a fuckin "how to get over a breakup" video AND WE WERENT EVEN TOGETHERRRR

I would like to build something amazing with someone. Be an ear to listen or shoulder to cry on. Someone you can go to for advice or to vent to. I pride myself on being a cheerleader in the sense that if you need someone in your corner rooting for you then I’m your gal!

This is my proposition for the MMO, The Legend of Zelda: War of Hyrule.
Object of the game: The armies of Queen Zelda and King Ganondorf are at war. The game is over upon the assassination of either. The player must choose a faction and cannot change sides until the defeat of Ganondorf or Zelda. It will all start again after. Ganondorf and Zelda are controlled by humans whose full time job is playing the game. There will be six people playing as each. Three people taking an 8 hour shift Monday-Friday and three people on Saturday and Sunday. When one has to call in sick or use PTO, one will take over another's shift. They can turn on AI when they need to go to the bathroom or out to lunch. The people playing as Link and Dark Link are rewarded to the player with the highest kills of their respective factions.
Ganondorf has a country to the north of Hyrule, over the gorge, past the badlands complete with it's own castle, depths, sky islands, and surface. Players to his faction start there. The country is named Drogmire.
Hyrule has been restored and even expanded. Hyrule Castle is even bigger because they put in a middle section of the castle when it got separated and they now have a really big basement going to the bottom of the depths. The final boss area in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is repurposed to be part of Hyrule Castle. The damaged areas are also repaired. Hyrule Castle Town Market has been restored to contain a variety of stores.
The game is $10 a month. $5 with a subscription to Nintendo Switch Online. The players of the winning faction get the next month free. Everyone pays the first month. If multiple victories happen in one month, only the first one counts. The monthly fee will contribute to the wages of the people playing as Zelda and Ganondorf, maintenance, and adding additional features.
There are ten playable races. Five to each faction. Everyone starts out with 23 hearts. 17 shrines per race. Other races cannont enter the shrine designed to that particular race. There is a boss at the end of every shrine, but only 17 total. You can rechallenge three of the bosses a day. Upon the completion of a shine a heart container will be awarded. Stamina vessels will be purchased for 2000 rupees each. More shrines may be added as time goes on.
There will be a new separate armor set for shoes.
You can create your own character's physical appearance in an avatar creator. Players have the option of letting AI suggest a physical appearance. In order to avoid everyone wearing the same looking armor, AI will decide what each set of armor looks like or you can edit it yourself. The effect of the armor is the same for everyone. The Hateno Dye Shop can make other alterations besides color change.
Fast travel is limited to once per day. Completed shrines are the fast travel points and the map builder. Shrines also act as a launchpad. Maps are unavailable in enemy territory. This prevents an absolute frenzy to one location when the locations of Zelda or Ganondorf are revealed. Fast travel cannot be done inside enemy territory except to exit. Entering is not allowed.
The new type of Goo called Bliss will he introduced. It is the glowing yellow version of Gloom. Those in Zelda's Faction will experience healing in Bliss while those in Ganondorf's faction will be hurt by Bliss. There will also be a new food called Light Clumps. They offer Bliss Warding for Ganondorf's Factions, but are poison to Zelda's Faction. Dark Clumps are poisonous to Ganondorf's faction. It will cause poison damage if used as a weapon such as fused to an arrow or a melee weapon.
Powers of Purah pads for Zelda's Faction and Astor pads for Ganondorf's faction include Ultrahand, Fuse, Autobuild, Ascend, Rewind, Stasis, and the three new abilities: Grow, Shrink, and Arrow Prefusion. They also act as phones to communicate with other players over a distance.

In game communication is avaliable. A USB keyboard can be plugged into the Nintendo Switch. Voice chat is also available. Since all Gerudos must be female and all Gorons must be male, there is also an AI voice changer you can use to sound like your opposite gender. Not that a wrong gender sounding voice is unacceptable. It can also be used to personalize your voice for your other characters if you choose.
All forageable materials respawn every midnight in the Pacific time zone because that is where Nintendo of America is located.
Players can buy, sell, donate, or trade items at their own agreed price. To prevent inflation, there will be only 2 billion rupees in the game. The prices in shops will be adjusted by AI in a supply and demand algorithm.

I had an interaction with a crypto scammer today. My friend told me to hop on this meeting if this genuine or not i already told him it is a scam. Then i started questioning him about shit and he’s answering every single question confidently and wittily. But When i ask him about the company’s Founders and members he just saying a random white name while saying other board members don’t want their identity revealed and says that the company is registered in the uk. When i ask for their revenue this quarterly he said that it is a company yet to be launched but is already in its pre-launch state.
When I further questioned him he told me that this was a team that was already trading in USDT for seven years and was already booking profits of 150% percent every month but when i asked him for proof he kept bluffing about crypto is completely decentralised and cant track or chart the profits and told me he will give me an asset that’s worth the money i pay that is linked to the blockchain and is not scammable because it is linked to the block chain
So yeah he asked me to come tomorrow for a new meeting and forwarded me a pdf (i can dm you if interested )
I obviously know this is a scam but one of my friends cousin is still not convinced until I question the shit out of the scammer. So yeah id like you guys to suggest me some really good questions or if you want to question him directly i will happily add you to meeting.
Ponnu machanmaare please help if you know anything or into stuff like this

Doing another reread of Blood Meridian, and just finished the section of David Brown’s arrest through the Yuma Massacre of the gang. I feel like this obviously is a very pivotal moment in the gang’s history as it lead to their destruction, but also has an air of mystery surrounding some of the events in this time frame that fascinates me. I’d like show a few points that come to mind and some questions to fellow readers.
Glanton’s Apathy: “Glanton supervised with some interest the raising of the walls about him but otherwise left his men to pursue the business at the crossing with a terrible latitude. He seemed to take little account of the wealth they were amassing although daily he’d open the brass lock with which the wood and leather trunk in his quarters was secured and raise the lid and empty whole sacks of valuables into it.” After establishing themselves taking over the ferry and robbing those who came to use it, I get the feeling Glanton just falls into a state of complete apathy. He seemed to have no interest in how his men ran the ferry or even how much money they were making with this new racket. After spending basically the whole novel up to this point going from one place to another to kill people or stay a step ahead of harm’s way, at the ferry he is simply existing. What is the reason behind this sudden loss of all motivation?
Rescue of David Brown: So Davy lights an officer on fire and gets thrown in jail. After Toadvine and Webster tells Glanton, he immediately rounds up 5 nameless gang members and sets off towards San Diego to rescue him. Two questions I’ve pondered on this event: Would Glanton have launched a rescue if it was anyone else in the gang? And, why did he not take any of his veterans with him? This question leads into the next topic, but I find it strange that he leaves behind the judge and basically all the named gang members who we know have been riding with him a while to rob harmless travelers while he goes on what could be a dangerous rescue mission.
Glanton Abandoned: After finding out that David Brown escaped jail, Glanton and his men spend two days getting blackout drunk and getting into a fight with soldiers. Then comes the line: “Glanton returned to Yuma alone, his men gone to the gold fields.” This casual reference to Glanton’s five men just leaving him in San Diego and hunting for gold went unnoticed to me on my first reading, but stuck out to me this time. At several points in the novel there’s mentions of Glanton or someone else in the gang inquiring about a missing gang member, and then we literally just had Glanton traveling to rescue another to not leave him behind, but then here all of a sudden we have a handful of his gang members just leaving for good and there’s no reaction by him or further action taken. Did the men tell him about their plan? Did he give his blessing? Or did they sneak off while he was drunk? I can’t imagine say Webster or Henderson Smith taking off like this, so again makes me wonder why Glanton picked who he did to go on his rescue mission, and not any of his more trusted fighters.
The judge in charge: During Glanton’s estimated two week absence, the judge had been appointed to be in charge of the ferry operations. Upon Glanton’s return, there are a few examples that immediately point towards things being off… The first thing he sees is “a young Mexican girl was crouched naked under the shade of the wall. She watched him ride past, covering her breasts with her hands. She wore a rawhide collar about her neck and she was chained to a post.” Next he rides into the compound, and finds it empty, no one is around. Riding down to look at the river, “the doctor came scrambling down the bank and seized Glanton by the foot and began to plead with him in a senseless jabber. He’d not seen to his person in weeks and he was filthy and disheveled and he tugged at Glanton’s trouserleg and pointed toward the fortifications on the hill. That man, he said. That man.” The judge is on the rise of the hill, naked except for a loose robe, with his new acolyte Black Jackson standing beside him in a similar garb. Later we have the passage: “By evening the drunkenness and revelry had begun afresh and the *shrieks of young girls** carried across the water to the pilgrims huddled in their camp*.”
So obviously some weird stuff has gone down in the last couple weeks. Young girls are chained outside on posts, the judge and at least one other gang member is strutting around basically naked except for a loose cloth, and it seems like it’s become a regular occurrence that the night it filled with the screams of young girls. The judge’s short rule over the ferry has made the doctor go mad with fright, and it seems his influence of turning some of the other men to his level of debauchery has taken root. (I don’t believe all of the men would partake in his ways, I think one of the reasons for the Tobin and kid to be so wary and antagonistic towards the judge at the well after the attack was because they saw what a monster he had become).
There’s a lot to unpack with what is going on in just a couple pages. To me it seems the judge has turned the ferry into his personal underage carnival of pleasure and sadism. His actions caused the doctor to run to Glanton of all people to try and help, even though the doctor is well aware of what type of man Glanton is. The lesser of two evils? Perhaps the doctor picked up that Glanton had been the only man who was able to keep the judge in check, and as soon as he was gone the judge was now off leash and immediately took the situation to an extreme. Unfortunately for the doctor and the young girls at the men’s mercy, Glanton’s apathy continues and he just goes to his quarters to get drunk.
Glanton’s Death - Coincidence, or Planned? - After my last reading of this section with Glanton being split to the thrapple, I had the thought “damn he got unlucky.” Like he was gone for two weeks or more, shows back up to camp, and then the Yumas attack and wipe out everyone. However, after that thought on the bad luck of his timing I got to thinking of the judge’s later conversation with the kid where he says that he told the jailers that the kid worked with the Yumas to plan the attack. Could someone have tipped the Yumas off to Glanton’s return as the right opportunity to attack? If it was all a coincidence, it’s something to think about that their revenge would have been a missed chance if they had attacked a couple days earlier when Glanton was still in San Diego. However, I don’t think or know why the kid would be the one to make this scheme. The only gang member really who I think could have done it and had a reason to do it is the judge. Maybe after getting a taste of power he didn’t want Glanton to ruin his fun, or maybe he felt his time with the gang had runs it’s course and he wanted to wipe them out as a sort of clean slate. Or maybe he just thought it would be funny, like what he did to Reverend Green in his introduction. What are your thoughts on the timing of the Yuma attack and the death of Glanton?
For some reason I just really love this short section in the novel, there’s a lot to think about and so few details that it leaves a lot open to the imagination.

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to remember the name of a movie I saw a while back. The story is about a young guy who finds a map that leads to a hidden treasure in space. He teams up with a quirky robot and a shapeshifting creature, and they set off on an adventure aboard a spaceship. There's also a cyborg pirate who becomes a father figure to him. The animation was fantastic and had a mix of sci-fi and classic adventure vibes. Any ideas what this movie could be?
Thanks in advance!
