2024.05.21 22:09 toolshome Where to watch movie Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire for free
After years of waiting, the highly anticipated Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire finally hit streaming services last week. As a huge fan of the previous Monster-Verse movies like Godzilla (2014), Kong: Skull Island, and Godzilla: King of the Monsters, I had sky-high expectations - and I'm thrilled to report that the film exceeded every one of them. If you're wondering where to watch Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire online or how to watch it for free, read on!
From the opening scene, it's clear this is a Monster-Verse movie like no other. We're thrown right into the action as Godzilla and Kong engage in a city-leveling battle royale that makes their previous clash in Godzilla vs Kong look like a schoolyard tussle. The visual effects team truly outdid themselves, bringing a visceral realism to the kaiju combat that makes you feel every thunderous blow.
But the movie is about far more than just monster mayhem. At its core is a richly developed plot that expands the Monster-Verse mythology in shocking and rewarding ways. We discover that Godzilla and Kong's rivalry is but a small part of an ages-old conflict between the Titans and a technologically-advanced human civilization bent on controlling them. Protagonists from past films return in critical roles, their actions having unpredictable and far-reaching consequences.
The human characters are also given much more depth and nuance here compared to previous Monster-Verse entries. Particular standouts are Dr. Serizawa's son (played by John Boyega in a star-making turn), who is trying to prevent an all-out war between humans and Titans, and Ilene Andrews' daughter (Tessa Thompson), now the head of Monarch and caught between the factions. Their personal journeys carry real emotional weight and provide the perfect counterbalance to the spectacular monster battles.
Speaking of which, every action set piece in The New Empire delivers in spades. From Kong using a tank as a baseball bat to Godzilla taking on multiple Titans in Rome, each feels like a mini-movie in itself, crammed with holy $%*# moments and jaw-dropping visual brilliance. The finale, which I won't spoil here, has to be seen to be believed - an audacious, face-melting climax that took my breath away.
Ultimately, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is the total package - an effects extravaganza, action masterpiece, and deep dive into the Monster-Verse all rolled into one. It not only lives up to the groundwork laid by previous films but expands on it in thrilling, unpredictable ways, leaving me desperate to revisit this world again. If you haven't streamed it yet, do yourself a favor and watch it immediately with that ultra-crisp 4K upgrade - this is a cinematic experience meant to be seen on the biggest screen possible. Just be prepared to pick your jaw up off the floor when it's over. You can watch Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire online on streaming services like HBO Max, or try to find ways to watch it for free on certain websites.

2024.05.21 21:58 Worth-Piano6103 Would I (29F) be in the wrong to ask my sister (35F) not to bring her toddler to my Las Vegas elopement? How can I best communicate this to her without hurting her feelings?
Hi all!
I am planning to elope with my fiancé next year. It's not a traditional elopement - we intend on bringing our parents, and I've extended the invite to my sister and her husband as well. We really want a small, no-fuss, fun, easy trip that will be a funny memory to share. The trip will be about 4 days long.
For context, we're doing a dinner party in our hometown the week before that will be the 'reception'. It is more of a traditional reception. We're expecting 150 people, renting out a restaurant and providing the food, etc. It's really for my in-laws - my fiancé has a big family that really wanted to do a celebration, so we figured why not.
I made it clear to my sister from the get go that although I wanted her to come to Vegas, there was NO pressure for her to come. The real 'party' will be the week before in any event with the whole family. I made a point of emphasizing this because I know that it's an expensive trip (just flights and hotels will be about $2k a couple), they just bought a house, and they aren't super well off. I find it tacky to ask for this much money from family, and for that reason I feel very fortunate to be able to pay for my parents' trip, but I unfortunately can't afford to extend that offer to my sister. She's aware of this. I could maybe help out with her flight costs, but wouldn't be able to pay for her husband, so I haven't even brought it up because I felt like it was an unfair offer.
Now... we were talking about this recently and she started mentioning that she was picturing bringing her baby to the elopement. She was saying it will be a shame that the baby can't fly for free (baby will be 2 by the time we go on the trip), that baby would be well behaved, we wouldn't have to worry about it, etc. I glossed over it in the moment, because honestly, I never thought that was on the table. I figured she would never want to bring a toddler to Vegas, and if she came, she would be leaving the kid at home with her husband. I was shocked that we were on different pages there, but it's on me for not having communicated appropriately.
I've been thinking it over, and I firmly do not want the toddler there. This isn't a kid-friendly trip - we'll be going out to dinners, bars, casinos, maybe even a gun range (hey, it's Vegas). I just want to get married and have a fun trip and be spontaneous. I don't want to deal with the logistics of a toddler. We'll be such a small group that I think it will really change the dynamics. When there's a toddler involved, of course you need to accommodate them - and frankly, I don't want to. I also don't want my sister paying for this trip and then sitting in her hotel room with the toddler. My sister has options here - she can leave the toddler with her husband (I don't think the husband has offered this. Or she doesn't trust him. Which is a whole other thing...), ask her in-laws to take care, or simply not come!
Rant aside - what is the best way to deliver this message to her? Am I totally missing that I'm being a jerk here? How should I best communicate that I don't want the baby there, without starting WW3??
TL;DR: my sister wants to bring her toddler to Vegas for my elopement/mini wedding. I don't want the toddler there, and want advice on whether I'm being a jerk - and if not, how best to talk to her about this.

2024.05.21 21:56 TacitusKadari The pantheon of Amaria
Context is at the end of this post __________________________________________________
In the stormy northern seas lies the island of Amaria. Under the polar lights in cold forests live the descendants of the once great Varaki, who in turn followed the mammoth herds across the steppes for countless eons. These are the gods and spirits of this land. They live in every tree, every lake, every star, deep below the ocean and beyond the polar lights in four domains.
The underworld, a place of transition between life, death and rebirth. It was made after the creation of the material to help souls find their way back to life. The spirits of this domain all take the shape of dragons with red eyes and golden patterns.
- RĂ€kimarak: Lord of the underworld and of all its riches. Every stone, flint and gems alike, belong to him. A great violet dragon with enormous antlers. He reviews the lives of all that died and guides them to the new lives they deserve. Father of all dragons of the underworld.
- Idaka: Wife of RĂ€kimarak, goddess of love and beauty. She resides at the darkest place, where her light shines the brightest. A violet dragon with a frill and wings of red rose petals with golden patterns. She stands for all encompassing unconditional love and reunites loving souls in their next lives. Mother of all dragons of the underworld.
- Kimorak: Firstborn son of RĂ€kimarak and Idaka, guide of souls who escorts the souls of the dead into the underworld. A great black dragon with golden horns. Every mortal he touches sees and feels their life in great detail from the point of view of those they affected. In the process, mortals always see something they need to see.
- Galorak: Lord of caves and their denizes, bats. A small black dragon with bat ears and a bat nose. Caves are entrances to the underworld and bats are its sacred animals. They are not to be harmed. But since they are also messengers of death, one must keep a safe distance. Don't disturb the bats or Galorak may convince his older brother to take you too soon.
- Letorak: Messenger of the underworld. A small black dragon with golden antlers. Whenever Kimorak takes a soul, they often have something to tell their loved ones. Something they didn't have the time or the courage to say in life. It is Letorak's task to convey these messages through dreams.
- Vhedurak: The white dragon who heals souls between death and rebirth, so they don't take wounds from one life to the next.
- Ohnarak: Craftsman of the underworld. A great yellow dragon who can make anything out of the riches of this realm.
- Vahirak: Builder of the underworld. A great brown dragon with antlers he can use to dig new caves or cover up old ones as needed.
- Voomarak and Vothorak: The great hunters keeping the underworld free of demons preying on scared souls. Two emerald dragon who can turn invisible. The younger brother Voomarak has golden horns and is also the patron of boys and unmarried men. The older brother Vothorak has great golden antlers and is also the patron of married men.
- Mokorak, Kaharak, Roporak and Sukorak: The four golden-headed red dragons guarding the entrances to the underworld. Mokorak has the ears and nose of a bat, Kaharak has four horns, Roporak great antlers and Sukorak the wings and head of a barn owl.
- Tathorak: The great beast, god of violence and bloodshed, the only dragon of this realm who is not a son of RĂ€kimarak and Idaka. A huge gray dragon with three heads, three tails and three pairs of wings. The most powerful beast in the cosmos, but devoid of empathy or understanding. He is imprisoned at the second deepest, darkest point of the underworld, where he guards the only being living even deeper below, the Nameless One.
The boundaries. This is the realm of souls and spirits, dreams and nightmares, the skies and oceans and all waters deep and shallow. This domain has existed before time even began. It is endless and timeless.
- Kavijohka: The moon, a great silver dragon with glowing teal eyes. Sister of RĂ€kimarak and goddess of wisdom, cunning and battle.
- Vellamun: The ocean, husband of Kavijohka, a great blue dragon with red eyes and golden patterns. God of the unknown and lord of all waters. Sometimes, he stretches his hands out to land, creating bogs and swamps.
- Lukilan: The morning star, son of Kavijohka and Vellamun. He is the lightbringer who gives people the power of sight. An azure dragon with emerald eyes and a golden morning star on every scale and a third eye on his forehead.
- Sojulan: The great traveller, son of Kavijohka and Vellamun, a black dragon with red eyes and the neck and wings of a black swan. He travels between the waters, land and air and protects all fellow travelers.
- Turikan: Lord of storms, thunder and lightning. The loudest and most unruly son of Kavijohka and Vellamun. A blue dragon with red eyes and a golden lightning pattern on his scales. His tail is like a hammer, hurling lightning bolts at the ground as he roars.
- Lumika: Goddess of magic, daughter of Kavijohka and Vellamun, a silver dragon with teals eyes and scales shimmering with polar lights. She continues in the footsteps of her mother.
- Ilunika: Goddess of grief, daughter of Kavijohka and Vellamun, a silver dragon with teal eyes and the neck and wings of a black swan. She travels to and from the world of the living and the dead to take the grief of letting go upon her. Whenever she crosses the boundary, she has to go through the ocean and that is where tears comes from. That is why they are salty.
- Avastaja: The great trickster. A shapeshifter, usually appearing with the attributes of a barn owl. Most often as an owl-headed human or a fox/dragon with the head and wings of an owl. The youngest child of Kavijohka and Vellamun who defies all boundaries, uses the powers of all his/her siblings (except for Ilunika, because Avastaja has standards) to protect the jesters and jokers. But he/she is also a scolar and explorer, who uses Lukilan's light to find new ways to mess with people.
- Aiwana: Wife of Avastaja and goddess of memory. A shapeshifter, usually taking the same shape as her husband/wife Avastaja. She paints everything she sees into the skies and caves of Amaria and lives in every single one of the most sacred objects of all Amaria, the fairy memory stones. But Avastaja is rubbing off on her and sometimes, she plays tricks on you.
- The Ashirana: Goddesses of the arts, each of which has its own Ashiran patron. One for painters, wood carvers, musicians and for storytellers.
The world of the living. This is our material world.
- Kadath: The sun, greatest of all dragons with shining golden scales and golden eyes. God of justice who sees all... during the day that is. At night, his sister Kavijohka rules and she has a different idea of justice. Sometimes, she tries to turn the day to night, causing an eclipse. But in the end, Kadath always wins these confrontations. Especially when people light fires and cheer him on.
- Inari: Mother nature, goddess of life and all plants and animals. A great green dragon with wings and a frill made of flowers. She provides all food, but only as long as nature is in balance. Unlike her husband Kadath, Inaro does not care about justice, only balance. Those who anger her are punished mercilessly, no matter how long it takes, sometimes more than they deserve.
- Ilmania: Goddess of healing, firstborn daughter of Kadath and Inari. She was the first fairy, a tall woman with long pointy ears. Her descendant, although far shorter, are still endowed with her healing powers and compassion.
- Vrila: Protector of the home and hearth, patron of married women and the goddess of affectionate familiar love between equals. Secondborn daughter of Kadath and Inari. A woman, always accompanied by a cat and carrying a sling. The weapon of a lady, which requires skill and finesse instead of strong arms and can be more deadly than a bow in the right hands.
- Aria: Protector of girls and unmarried women, goddess of erotic love. A young woman with hair reaching to her ankles. She often reincarnates among mortals for fun. That is why the Amarians do not look down on women looking for fun. They might be dealing with a goddess in disguise.
- Mahaseta: The great white mammoth, goddess of the old world of Varaki. She and Inari together created dogs to protect humanity from dangers of the material and other worlds. All forest elephants and mammoths are her children and as such, sacred. But she was not born a goddess. Mahaseta was born a human. When Avastaja wanted to prove to the others that the material world and humanity are worth preserving, he appeared to Mahaseta in the most terrifying form and ordered her to sacrifice one of her own children to him. But Mahaseta refused. First she begged for the lives of all her children, then she offered her own life instead and when Avastaja refused, she spat in his face. No punishment could be worse than having to murder your own child. With these words, Mahaseta ascended to godhood.
- Retaro: Son of Mahaseta, who became a god by his mother's love. A great white tiger with blue eyes. Guardian of Amaria, lord of the forests and god of the hunt.
- Red Lady and Blue Knight: Also known as the Blue Lady and Red Knight. A pair of lovers who find each other in every new life they are born into. Living as mortals, they are the paragons of loyalty for all Amarians.
Evil. This is not actually a domain, but a state of mind. A very lonely one.
- The Nameless One: God of Evil, who goes by many false names. He lures mortals in with impossible promises to make them do his bidding. The Nameless One orders blood sacrifice and the killing of those who disobey him. He demands to worshiped and praised every day and is jealous of all those gods who receive praise without asking for it. Thus, the Nameless One also seeks to be the only one. No matter the cost to everyone else or even himself.
__________________________________________________
Context: I am currently working on a stone age fantasy novel and I'm sooo close to finishing it, but the last couple chapters are taking longer than expected. It's set on a forested island named Amaria\ at a time when people are making their first steps towards sedentary life and domestication** of plants and animals. Here is the pantheon I worked out for the Amarians.*
You can read my novel for free on Wattpad and Inkitt. I am planning to publish it on Royal Road too. If you know any other platform that might be good for fantasy stories, feel free to tell me. \Amaria is short for "Amara Aria", which translates to "Gift of the gods/spirits". Aria means gift and Amara is the plural of Amar. The term Amar can not be literally translated into English. It's an umbrella term for all sorts of nature spirits, gods as well as entities one might compare to angels or saints. So it refers to a person with transcendent characteristics and always carries positive connotations.*
\*Dogs have been domesticated by the ancestors of the Amarians for tens of thousands of years already and are central to their culture. It is believed that they have the same souls as humans, so eating a dog would be considered cannibalism. So far the only other note on domestication I have in the books is the pruning of hazelnut trees to get more nuts. That's something I will change in later drafts. Nightshades will be far more important to the civilization emerging on Amaria in the coming millennia.*

2024.05.21 21:55 IllithidNovice [HIRING] Looking for drawing for a hispanic interpretation of a Mulan Scene
Hello!
My sister is getting married and I'd like to get something made for her. We both grew up with Disney films and we both cry at the sound of Remember Me...
I am looking for someone able to do a different take on a Mulan scene. The scene in question is when Mushu awakes the ancestors. What I'd like would be for a Chihuahua or Xolo dog to be the one with an appropriate instrument waking up the ancestors from an Ofrenda Table like in Coco. I can provide some family photos as a reference for the spirits and as long as it's somewhat Disney style I'd be ok with whatever you make of this request.
My family is from El Paso TX and Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua so any elements that you can incorporate into it would be welcome.
If it matters, she displays art on her 24 inch monitor for work so anything within that range and the appropriate 1920Ă1080 resolution would work.
I can start with a floor price of $50 but I am willing to pay more so long as it's reasonable.
Please feel free to reach out if you need clarification on anything.
Thank you!

2024.05.21 21:49 Present-Solution-507 Financial disparities between me and my bf.
I 23F and my boyfriend 23M navigating relationship dynamics amidst financial differences. Weâve been together for almost 2 years. We both are preparing for civil services. He is already working with state govt but the salary is not enough in the long run. I come from a well off family but he comes from a not so well off family. His familyâs financial struggles, coupled with his modest income, raise concerns about our future together. He has to support his family financially. He is the loveliest man Iâve ever met. He is caring, mature, compassionate, open minded. Itâs bare minimum but given my unpleasant interaction with men on daily basis, I thank my stars for this. Weâve established clear boundaries regarding religious practices and living arrangements.
His family is quite religious so Iâve cleared beforehand that Iâm not going to perform any religious rituals or follow any restrictions, he is ok with that. But when I talked about having a different home as I donât want to live in a joint family setup (although his parents can live with us if they want) but Iâm not going to share a house with his brotherâs family in future. Itâs get very complicated in a joint family as I grew up in a toxic dysfunctional joint family so I donât want the same situation for my children. He said he is helpless he doesnât have much money to build a house but he is studying hard to get a good job so that we would live a comfortable life. Initially he said he can only afford to have one child in this economy but I want 2 so he agreed upon this too.
He is too patient with me. We met on twitter, I liked his socio political views and this made me fall for him. We hit it off easily. We met after 1.5 years of talking as I was not sure about us and I was afraid of my family. He patiently helped me to overcome my fears, insecurities. We love each other so much. We have compatibility, healthy communication, mutual understanding, spark, each otherâs support. Sometimes I feel insecure due to my anxiety issues but he always responds with reassurance that he is so secure with my love.
Recently, I contemplated ending the relationship, fearing the uncertainty our future holds. I asked him to end everything as itâs going to be very complicated. He comes from different caste too though itâs not an issue for us. He said heâs going to fight his family in future if such situation ever befalls. Anything that matters me is our financial security in future. So I asked him to end this ( didnât say this seriously with the intention to end relationship immediately). Then he said youâre quick to say that, almost as if youâre disregarding my presence. But then he said he respects my practical decision and Iâm free to go and wished me luck. Then he cried saying that he has imagined his life with me. He said for the first time in his life he wishes he had enough money so he wouldnât let me go. Then he recollected himself and said this should not impact my practical decision. I felt so bad, his response left me feeling guilty. Am I being mean? I highly doubt if I ever find such a man given the current scenario of this country. But with him I have to make adjustments.
The only way we would consider getting together is if we both secure good jobs. Iâm under constant pressure 24/7, worrying about what might happen if things donât work out and I donât find a good job within the next two years. Relatives constantly badger my family, urging them to marry me off soon, as they believe Iâm in my prime and wonât find a suitable match later on. Their comments are hurtful. While my mother is very supportive, I canât stand my extended family or our community. My boyfriend advises me to focus solely on my studies and not to overthink things too much. But Iâm not able to find peace amidst this chaos. My mental health is f up. Iâm not able to focus on my studies.
Any advice on how to navigate this complex terrain would be immensely appreciated. Please help your sister. Thanks lovelies for reading. đžâ€ïž

2024.05.21 21:48 Independent_Let_7008 WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY
2024.05.21 21:45 bigmoose27 Is this an obvious choice?
In the past year, my grandfather passed away and left my Dad and his sister with his remaining money. Details aside, my parents are willing to fund my wife and I up to $600K to build a home for my family (warm hand versus cold hand conversations have occurred numerous times).
Currently, my wife and I (Both 32) have 4 kids and currently live in a 2200 sq ft home (3 BR, 2.5 BA) built in 2007 in Florida on 5 acres. My wife stays home with our kids (eldest is 8) and homeschools, while I have about a 25-minute commute to work and about 25-30 minutes from any grocery store or major shopping or town. The area we live in is quiet, which is nice, but have a couple neighbors around that are a somewhat unsettling to live near (former addicts, domestic issues, etc). If/when we sell our current house, we can expect to net around ~$200,000 based on market value and our realtorâs recommendations.
In moving towards our new home, we purchased 6 acres of land earlier this year as the first step towards building a new home, which will be closer to town (5-10 minutes) and closer to my job as well (~15-20 minutes). We have been working with a builder and have decided on a ~2550 square foot plan that will be on about 6 acres of land. All in, this build is projected to cost around $700k including the land cost, which we would pay the difference using the proceeds from the sale of our current home. My parents are willing to cover costs over $600K, but we will need to pay back the overage after the sale of our home.
My wife and I are extremely appreciative of the effort my parents are making to allow us to hopefully build our forever home for our children while they are young enough to not feel super attached to the home we are currently living in. Additionally, we will be living a slightly higher taxed area, but will be able to essentially live debt free and closer to everything, which my wife and I both value.
All this detail above was basically given to ask the following question:
Why do my wife and I feel so unsure or uneasy about what seems like an obvious choice for the betterment of our family? Are we missing something here?
We moved away from family about 3 years ago, so we aren't sure if our lack of clarity here is because we feel more isolated than we have before, but looking for some reassurance or insight on this situation because it seems so unique.

2024.05.21 21:42 Powerful_Strength723 Gift ideas for SIL?
My sister is law is travelling with my brother and their daughter, 12 hours to come attend our wedding. They have been together for close to 10 years. SIL and I have never been close but I feel like this could be our chance to become a little closer. She has offered to install hair extensions for myself, give me, my mom and daughter haircuts and will be doing my momâs lashes all free of charge for the wedding. I feel like this is a wonderful gift and perhaps a bit of an olive branch so to speak.
Iâm wanting to gift her something in return, but I have no idea what! Something small but meaningful. She is quite materialistic and wants for nothing. Any ideas??

2024.05.21 21:36 Regular_Garage8564 [TOMT] "Detective" game
[Video Game] [2020's] I am looking for a game I played the free trial for and really enjoyed. I didn't have the money to spend to buy the full version at the time and this was a couple years ago. The game had realistic graphics and started with you getting off a boat and going to a party at a big house. You play as a male and you get to apply points to different skills throughout the game. You are trying to solve a mystery (I think about the main characters sister but I could be wrong) and you have to explore and look for clues. It was kind of like life is strange with the exploration and finding things in the world. There were also some timed choices as well in the game.

2024.05.21 21:27 Ok_Education3063 AITA for telling my sister her allergies aren't real?
Throw away.
I (29f)'s sister (23f) is faking allergies for attention. I have a real allergist tested tree nut allergy. I have several epinephrine pens. I have admittedly gotten a lot of attention for it growing up, at school, at family events, at work... Everything. When I was younger, I liked it, but as I've grown it's been tiring. Constantly explaining to new people, a simple allergy has consumed my life. It's not fun. My younger sister loves attention. She'll try to get it in every messed-up way. From faking pregnancy to fake fainting. Now she's faking an extreme peanut allergy. She can't have any or she'll "immediately die" and "it's so severe an epi pen won't work"
We were at a family function with distant relatives who traveled from another country, my husband (32m) and I were talking to them... When my sister came up to my husband in a baby voice and started to actually pout her lip and say that everything had peanuts. My husband and I rolled our eyes. My relatives were confused understandably, and I told her to go eat the nut free salad that had a sign saying nut free. After she turned around to walk away in her skirt that everyone could see her under garments in... My relatives asked and I said she's faking it for attention. It's the truth. My mom said I shouldn't have said anything and to "let her have her moment" AITA???

2024.05.21 20:57 bigmoose27 Building a home an obvious decision here?
In the past year, my grandfather passed away and left my Dad and his sister with his remaining money. Details aside, my parents are willing to fund my wife and I up to $600K to build a home for my family (warm hand versus cold hand conversations have occurred numerous times).
Currently, my wife and I (Both 32) have 4 kids and currently live in a 2200 sq ft home (3 BR, 2.5 BA) built in 2007 in Florida on 5 acres. My wife stays home with our kids (eldest is 8) and homeschools, while I have about a 25-minute commute to work and about 25-30 minutes from any grocery store or major shopping or town. The area we live in is quiet, which is nice, but have a couple neighbors around that are a somewhat unsettling to live near (former addicts, domestic issues, etc). If/when we sell our current house, we can expect to net around ~$200,000 based on market value and our realtorâs recommendations.
In moving towards our new home, we purchased 6 acres of land earlier this year as the first step towards building a new home, which will be closer to town (5-10 minutes) and closer to my job as well (~15-20 minutes). We have been working with a builder and have decided on a ~2550 square foot plan that will be on about 6 acres of land. All in, this build is projected to cost around $700k including the land cost, which we would pay the difference using the proceeds from the sale of our current home. My parents are willing to cover costs over $600K, but we will need to pay back the overage after the sale of our home.
My wife and I are extremely appreciative of the effort my parents are making to allow us to hopefully build our forever home for our children while they are young enough to not feel super attached to the home we are currently living in. Additionally, we will be living a slightly higher taxed area, but will be able to essentially live debt free and closer to everything, which my wife and I both value.
All this detail above was basically given to ask the following question:
Why do my wife and I feel so unsure or uneasy about what seems like an obvious choice for the betterment of our family? Are we missing something here?
We moved away from family about 3 years ago, so we aren't sure if our lack of clarity here is because we feel more isolated than we have before, but looking for some reassurance or insight on this situation because it seems so unique.

2024.05.21 20:49 Naive_Syrup1 24 hours for Jesus! Who is in ?
As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. Psalm 42,1
In the last time I really noticed how freeing it is, when the deepest longing in my life is god. We can love because he loved us first, and loving him is the way to reach the right end.
Letâs start with the next 24 hours. Letâs focus on god, ask him how we can love him, seek him in scriptureâŠ
What is included ?
- stay pure
- fill your heart with god ( read his word. If you only have strength for one verse, Jesus can make a lot of that seed, it might grow into a big tree)
- meditate on it ask god questions, pray learn to understand him and hear what he is saying
- ask god to teach you how to love him (itâs key!)

2024.05.21 20:47 anomaly-667 My parents think me and my sisters exist to please them
So my parents are constantly complaining that me, a college Studend with not much free time, and my sisters, both full time working, are neglecting them because we need our breaks to just chill alone in my case, be with her bf/husband for my sister's cases and that we do not visit like multiple times a week or every weekend. My sisters don't really live close and have interests like travelling or have to look after their children oftentimes and just because I am in college they believe I do nothing besides sitting around and being depressed so they kind of try to force me to do something with them even though I tell them that I do not have time and that I am not just sitting around, I have many appointments, am studying, play online games twice a week with a Team, have band practices and I also like to visit concerts. I am not really emotionaly attached to them because they severely neglected us emotionaly so they kind of get a Taste of their own medicine now. Their parenting was authotorian with punishments like slaps, yelling for hours every day, taking away stuff important to us as children and sometimes locking US into the cellar as kids. Nowadays they act like none of that happened and that I have lost it and have a "weird perception" or am hallucinating all of this, pretty much Gas lighting and it is draining me. I have my phone on flight Mode 24/7 almost and have All notifictlations off from messages of them. I dont know what to do

2024.05.21 20:39 IndependenceNo9027 Quinn's reaction to (SPOILER) was so irritating ugh
Quinn's extremely childish and irresponsible reaction to Debra's refusal to marry him in season 6 was really pathetic. She's not ready to marry him, so he tries to pressure her into accepting, and when he realizes that this heart-shaped cake he made later won't be changing her mind, he slams the door and goes sulking like an angry 4 year-old kid, and then proceeds to immediately break up with her and fuck as many women as possible, including one person of interest in a major investigation, all of this in a lamentable attempt at making Debra jealous, as if that could possibly... what, suddenly make her want him so badly that she'll accept to marry him? What kind of logic is that?? Or was his goal simply to hurt her? If so, why??
Her rejection of his proposal was perfectly reasonable! I mean, come on, Quinn, think about it: the one previous time where a guy professed his love for Debra and asked her to marry him, it didn't go very well for her now did it? Quinn should know that! Besides, she was just promoted to lieutenant, she's leading the team in charge of capturing the new serial killer who put a dismembered dead body on four horses and had them walk in the streets in the middle of the day without getting caught or even identified, so she doesn't have the time for that bullshit! And then he knowingly fucks a suspect in that very same investigation and when Debra is understandably and rightfully mad about this, he assumes that oh it's because she's just so jealous that the loser who broke up with her decided to screw another woman, that no, it can't possibly be because he's endangering this first major investigation she's leading! Ugh.
Oh, and did I forget to mention that he also goes on a drinking binge, manages to forget his gun in some random lady's car, gets high on marijuana when he's supposed to be on duty and crashed Debra's party while drunk and very rudely and inappropriately hits on Batista's younger sister (who's clearly not interested in him at all)? Yeah. Great work, Quinn, really. Clearly you're the best at not letting your personal life influence your professional one. Almost as bad as season 2's Esmée.
On top of that, his proposal to Debra was very clumsy and obviously not the right thing to do when it comes to Debra specifically. He shouldn't have proposed in the first place, nonetheless the way he did it was also inadequate for her. We've seen that Debra is into romantic stuff - in the first season, it's clear that she loves it when "Rudy" brings her flowers and says cheesy romantic things, and she seemed to really love his proposal with a shitload of flowers, costly champagne, a yacht and overall in ridiculously expensive and way over the top surroundings (I'll never understand the point of wasting money like that, but at any rate, Debra appeared to appreciate it a lot; maybe she just likes the idea of some guy spending that much money solely to please her? Who knows). Now, after her misadventure (to put it lightly) with "Rudy", obviously Debra isn't going to like anything too similar to what he did, however I'm assuming that her core tastes did not change - which means that she still likes classical romantic things; in consequence, proposing to her first thing in the morning, by putting the ring in the freaking fridge (was that really the only place Quinn could think of?) while they're making breakfast and pancakes are being cooked, was definitely not the best method. Furthermore, correct me if I'm misremembering, but wasn't it the morning of a work day? What, he couldn't wait until the evening, or better the weekend to propose, when they'll have way more time to talk about that and have fun? Personally I don't get why a specific setting is necessary to propose (just like I don't get most romantic things tbh), but I do understand pragmatism - which was obviously completely absent from Quinn's proposal. Was he so sure that she'd want to marry him (when she's never discussed marriage with him before and considering the debacle with her previous fiancé) that he thought she would say yes at once, and then they could go right back to eating breakfast and going to work without being late and that's it, it will be settled? Or was he trying to pressure her into accepting at once? If so, what a fucking dick. That marriage would never work. Oh, and the fact that they left the fridge open for like a whole minute was annoying - you're not supposed to leave the door of the fridge open for so damn long! You're supposed to just take what you need and then close it, so the food will stay cold! Grrr. Perhaps that's just me, because some of my relatives have the bad habit of uselessly leaving the door of the fridge open for too long, but anyway. And the pancakes burning was 100% predictable.
I'm not even a fan of Debra (maybe I'll elaborate on that in another post, and I'll do my best to not just repeat what others who dislike her have already mentioned about her), but in that situation I think she was entirely right to reject Quinn and that he was completely out of line.
I donât know if anyone at all will give this a read, thatâs just my opinion, but lately I feel like thereâs been a little many so-called shitposts on this subreddit, and though sometimes it can be funny overall I much prefer discussion, so I decided to contribute to it. Iâve already seen some about Quinn, however I donât think thereâs been any about this particular element of that character in the sixth season.
So agree/disagree about this take? If you think thereâs anything I got wrong, feel free to point it out!

2024.05.21 20:37 MiserableGrapefruit7 Today I learned that my baby sister has no friends in her hostel :â)
Sheâs 19 y/o, second year BTech. Weâre cousins but since weâve lived in joint family (still do), weâre close as actual siblings and sheâs my baby, youngest of us all. Today my brother told me that she called him, and said ki she has no friends in her hostel. Sheâs not on talking terms with her roommates and the only friend she had in the hostel turned out to be a bitch. Both of them were looking for a outside hostel together and one day she left early (the friend) leaving the keys to her room with my sister, and my sister went to her room once to borrow her clutcher. Now, this bitch claims that she had some money which is missing now (2-3k) rupees and blames it on my baby, and since CCTV shows her going into the room, even the warden thinks she did it. Now, that idiot of a girl is spreading rumours about my sister in the hostel, and even her roommates are taunting her about stealing.
You know your siblings and you know how theyâre raised so you know there are certain things they would never do, and 2-3k Rs is not even a big deal. The thing that makes me super upset and mad is that she is going through this shit alone. She has friends in college and she is planning to move out of her hostel in a few months, but these few months are definitely not going to be easy for her.
When my brother told me this, I started crying. Iâve spent most of my college time alone, with barely any friends (I had/still have bad social anxiety), and my sister, sheâs a good kid, street smart too, unlike me, and to imagine the situation sheâs in right now breaks my heart. Itâs so frustrating that you can not stop the world from hurting the people that you love so much.
Iâm so angry at that girl, her roommates, the warden, everyone, and if I could, I would have beaten them up so badly by now. I did talk to her, told her that weâre on her side no matter what, and that she doesnât need to take shit from anyone, and should feel free to tell these people off too. Good that sheâll be moving out soon. I know sheâll have to deal with this on her own, but it just really sucks.
PS - Not looking for advice & stuff. Just wanted to share :â)

2024.05.21 20:32 becameHIM I forgot my sisters birthdayâŠ
I donât know anyoneâs but my brothers, because itâs easy, but I never remember anyone elseâs. I donât remember names well and I barely know global holiday datesâŠik itâs sad, but itâs just not important enough for me to remember. (Not names, I just canât help thatđ
).
So this year I forgot my sisters birthday. She was being snappy the next day and said her birthday was the day before. I explained that I genuinely forgot, apologized, and said Iâll take her to dinner whenever sheâs free.
To me, I donât care if someone or everyone forgets my birthday. If I want to do something for it, Iâve always asked my family to go to dinner together. Thereâs been a couple years where no one remembered and I didnât care to celebrate, so we didnât. They got mad at me for not saying something.
Anyone have advice or opinions on this matter? Iâm curious to how others feel about birthdays and what I could do about not remembering anyoneâs.

2024.05.21 20:30 Wild_Cellist9861 Gamers Break Away [GBA]
My fellow gamers, for too long has our community suffered the indignation of an intolerable culture that has denigrated, besmirched, exploited, and has outright demonized our culture of unique individuals with a genuine love of a hobby that they see as profitable and progressive. They have taken beloved IPâs (Intellectual Properties) and twisted them into their own personal ideological crusade of undermining and humiliating the core aspects of characters they deemed as âToxicâ or âWhite Supremacyâ. Through the guise and protection of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity) & ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) they have used our influence in the entertainment industry to push their narratives and agendas that have stigmatized our culture with numerous anti-consumer practices that they call âbeing progressiveâ. But the truth of the matter is they were never really looking to be a part of our community, they simply wanted to use our community as a tool of activism and propaganda in the entertainment industry as it was extremely profitable, and they wanted inclusion in that division. Ever since GamerGate & Female Frequency, we have had to endure the incursion of forced ideologies, xenophobic behaviors and inferior overpriced products that have never been in our best interest and have been flat out disgraceful towards foreign media.
Before Gaming had become a major source of entertainment, we were often categorized as anti-social or societies rejects where because we found more enjoyment in playing fictional characters and not spending as much time out and about, we never fully assimilated in society (which is a good thing if you ask me). From 1998 to 2007, at the height of innovation, creativity and production, Gaming had reached a golden age in which it had revolutionized society. Hollywood Execs who had ruined the movie industry turned their attention to video games as a source of income since video games had outperformed movies in terms of profit. No one was concerned about gaming, much less diversity or inclusivity until it became profitable. This makes people like SBI look extremely disingenuous as they were not interested in gamers as a community with its own culture. They simply wanted to use it as another weapon in identity politics.
Microtransactions; the hidden enemy to gamer progress and inducer to mental laziness of our community. Microtransactions have been around for a long time; however, it has never been more potent and apparent than in recent years. It has aided in the dismantling and segregation of players on the ideology of
FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and has created another sub-culture of gamers who have no real drive to be better outside of how much money they put into the game. This has degraded our culture as well as we have become âfatâ off transactional gaming but at the same time we have been âstarvedâ of purposeful gaming where our achievements were our sustenance. I am not saying that microtransactions are bad, but when they are exploitative and predatorial like they have been and donât give gamers room to grow, we become lethargic and unwilling to improve ourselves as gamers. Oversaturated microtransactional games are one of the many reasons why we have become complacent and unwilling to fight against the exploitative tactics used by big brand game companies such EA, Ubisoft, ActivisionBlizzard, NaughtyDog and so many other western business model companies. Western style games were not like this in the past, they had much more depth and actual effort put into them with the gamer in mind. This has not been the case for over a decade and our connection to western developers has been whittled down to just being transactional. That is one of the reasons why you see so many remasters and remakes in todayâs gamer community. They have lost their willingness to improve as developers of games and simply accept corporate/share holder rules.
Game journalists also do not have any real integrity or purpose outside of being funded for their involvement in promoting IPG (Identity Political Games) in a positive light to the public whether itâs positively received or not. They are not interested in what we have to say, they all support the same agenda and that is why they are a dying breed. Within the next couple of years, they will be out of the job and more than likely they will not be able to stay in the industry giving how they have responded to past articles that have clearly been scripted on the premise of diversity and racism. Not only that, but most of them are also extremely hostile to the community as they stereotype and defame the individuals that are a part of the community they are supposed to serve. We have been mentally liberated from their lies and coercive tactics as we tend to laugh at their obvious attempt at virtue signaling while hiding their misdoings so that they can play the victim.
My gamer brothers & sisters, I would not suggest the following action that we must take now without good cause. I have weighed our options and the best option for us now is thisâŠ...
CULTURAL SECESSION. Naturally this is a form of segregation where they would more than likely claim they are being segregated by the dominant culture of the gaming community but that is incorrect. For years now we have been the ones who are often marginalized and ostracized for the smaller portion of our community. And when we arenât, weâre exploited for more funds so that these companies can stay in business only to subject us to low quality products that coincide with the âWOKE Agendaâ that are often huge expenses to these big brands i.e. AAA/AAAA games that will eventually flop for its obvious forced diversity and bug infested product which will undoubtedly piss off the consumer to the point of wanting a refund. Losing copious amounts of capital and stock in the process, not to mention their reputation is permanently marred.
We must separate on every cultural level in terms of entertainment and ideology. We must reject everything from the west that promotes toxic western beliefs, practices, and exclusion from other cultures (i.e. Southeastern Countries such as Japan and Korea). Japan & Korea have been the targets of unjust discrimination from Western Developers, Western Journalists, Western Localizers (The Wokelizers) and Western Society Prejudice regarding their sense of aesthetics as Westerners hate the aesthetic sense of these countries. The reason why they resort to such base tactics isnât just because it weaponizes the ideal female form but itâs also because they have deep-seated insecurities about their own looks so when they see attractive female characters, they use terms such as âunrealisticâ or âhypersexualizedâ to establish the moral high ground. But the truth is, they want to feel superior to that which is ideal, so they insult and dehumanize this figure that portrays natural female beauty because they see it as an insult to their own social superiority in what they believe is a hierarchy of them being at the top of all other women. Because of this and so many contributing factors, their movies flop harder than the
Fat Chocobo landing on a group of enemies and their games seismically fail just as much if not more. We must sever our connection to Western Developers, Publishers, and ALL Western-Centric Entertainment for they seek to mentally enslave us to their Xenophobic ideology.
Letâs define Western Culture and its traits. Western Culture/Society is composed of more than several different ideologies that work in unison with one another to facilitate dominance over multiple aspects of society. Business, Social, Political, Technological, and sometimes even Global Affairs are affected by these ideologies that portray a specific mindset of Western beliefs. What are those ideologies you ask?
- Perpetual Victimhood: By weaponizing the fact that they are marginalized and of a small portion of western society, they can push their agenda to absurd standards that ultimately ostracize the main demographic. And when companies donât capitulate, they are labeled as anti-progressive/misogynistâs or cohorts of White Supremacy. They use this to cancel their targets and silence them through societal defamation to keep the public on their side. They also use this mindset to justify their own lack of self-agency as they tend to throw companies who do adhere to their demands but miserably fail to turn a profit under the bus so that they can maintain face in front of the public while denying their actual involvement. They will never accept âSense of Agencyâ when itâs negative but will gladly accept it when a positive outcome shines on them as if they are entitled to it.
Official Wiki GamerGate Page)
- Societal Terrorism: This is another form of ideology weaponization that they use in order to make companies âtoe-the-lineâ with their agenda. By weaponizing cancel culture, they exert dominance over these companies but in exchange they also reimburse those companies with DEI & ESG funds that raise their credit score as well as having social status with the marginalized demographic. However; cancel culture has not succeeded in years and developers and publishers probably only want the money and the DEI ESG rating. But they have to maintain the image of having social economic power so that they can continue to strong-arm other developers into compliance and promoting financial benefits of DEI & ESG. In other words, if you are not for sale, they discredit and stigmatize you in the industry.
Asmongold Clips. https://youtu.be/Iq86DnmX2xY
- âIts not us, its you whoâs wrongâ Mentality: This mentality is especially annoying as they tend to use it to hide their incompetence. They often look down upon gamers who are not in the industry to hide their obvious lack of knowledge on game development thinking that their job title grants them special status that they believe gives them the right to be condescending. But the truth they never wanted revealed has already strangled their careers of all credibility. They were never GAMERS, they were INVADERS. Community Colonists that seek to indoctrinate next generational gamers into their hive-mind and brand previous generations of gamers as villains.
@GeeksandGamers https://youtu.be/1HbrTkqQFuM
- Double-standard Enforcement: By labeling something as âunrealisticâ or âhypersexualizedâ, they can claim this is morally wrong if it promotes traditional dynamics between men and women. Heterosexual relationships are condemned while at the same time Same-sex relationships are praised. Additionally, heterosexual relationships with main white male characters turn antagonistic and spotlight stealing. This is deliberate as to promote the âGirl Bossâ ideology to indoctrinate women into the Feminazi state of mind. While at the same time, should a male character also adopt the âI donât need male/femaleâ ideology its seen as Toxic Masculinity which isnât even a real thing. The idea of a strong male character is taboo while enforcing strong female characters is the ideal.
@MugenLord https://youtu.be/to5Uciy_yeg @EndymionTv https://youtu.be/7TPTR8-qmbk
- Dehumanization/Demonization: This is something that most military branches use in order to remove conscious inhibitions such as mass slaughter is wrong or categorization. By enforcing ideologies to denounce humanity in certain targets, it deactivates your conscience by saying this is not human therefore its ethically okay to treat this target without compassion and deny the fact it has sentience. We gamers fall under this category for journalists, developers, companies and society at large. This is a tactic we are familiar with to an extent as it implies that we are not normal when we do not do what everybody else is doing. âGeeks are the worseâ or âNerds need to fall into a pit of lavaâ are verbal dehumanization forms that most people in society say and we as Gamers tend to be relegated to those categories. This is their way of imposing the social hierarchy on us by establishing superiority. We know this as Gamers as we see it very often in the games that we play and some times experience it in real life.
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Gamergate#The_end_of_their_relevance
- Deflection/Projection: This is basic psychology 101. By redirecting the conversation away from their mistakes and back on to the opposing view to avert blame and justify their innocence they can avoid criticism. However; deflection is a CONSCIOUS decision, meaning they have no real argument to justify their incompetence. If you can consciously process the situation, you have self-agency which means you donât have a legitimate excuse. Projection is something else entirely. Most times, Projection doesnât work on conscious decisions rather it is automatically deployed when feeling threatened, anxious or both. Instead of accepting accountability for feelings or actions that are deemed socially unacceptable they accuse others of committing that unacceptable behavior thereby exonerating themselves and proving that those feelings and/or actions are not their own.
@TheTrentReport https://youtu.be/bPIPSKruYRo These traits are so nefarious and unconscionable that I have a hard time believing that anyone could harbor them. However, given the social, political, and economic climate that we are in, those in power who use their influence on controlling society most definitely possess these insidious traits. Everything that they do is all about control and since video games are the biggest market in the world, they want control over it and the communities built around it to accrue more wealth and to use that wealth to subjugate other cultures. Mainstream media is a tool as well as mainstream organizations and sites to help accomplish this goal.
The government recently announced its intentions towards what they believe is âGamerGate 2.0â and now even the ADL has made an official appearance, referring to gamers as âextremistâsâ. We know EXACTLY what they are doing, and they arenât even trying to hide it anymore because they donât think we are aware of their motives. This is just a pretext for them to exert even more control and we know why, itâs because they want the influence we as a community have to must serve them. So here is what we do my fellow gamers-
âIn light of recent events and years of mainstream stigma, we the members of the Global Gaming Community [GGC] must officially renounce ALL TIES to the corporate western video game market. We have been financially exploited through predatorial monetization schemes, pelted with numerous articles of disdain and intentional misrepresentation from game journalists, news outlets regarding us as dangerous individuals and, even subjected to inferior products not only riddled with bugs but also products meant to push political agendas. For the preservation of our community and its unique culture, apart from a few select game development studios we officially sever all connections to western owned video game companies & their mainstream affiliates. From this point onward, we will no longer support western corporate developers, journalists and publishers that do not coincide with the goals of our community.â Naturally this is completely optional. If you are okay with the state of the gaming community as it is, feel free to ignore this. But if you wish for real change and a break away from oversaturated monetization in the games you play and the push for radical ideological reform, then you are in the right place. Lets sever these rotted miasmic ties once and for all so that our community can be preserved and made better for future gamers. If you agree with this, share it with whoever you think might be interested. The more gamers who get involved, the easier it will be for us to finally break free from mainstream game companies and their associates.

Flower
Thorn. Prick. Blood. Drop. Tear. B. O. 1 2 3
Here we are again. Staring at the beginning. Everything is in chaos and yet it manages to keep on passing by just the same as always. Most people by now are aware that things just donât seem to make sense anymore and no one really knows what to do. I mean many seem to have an opinion on what ought to happen, but actual action is what I am talking about. How does thought turn into action? How do collected actions become a movement? How do the People use the Power of the People? The People Unite. How? Turn to each other of course. Brothers and Sisters of the same Source. Sons and Daughters. In Equality.
Too long has everyone been waiting for someone else to come do it for them. Been trying to create and fabricate over and over again words and rituals to try to control the divine powers of the cosmos. It does not work like that. There is no magic spell to wash away your sins. You must atone through action to make up for any harm you have caused intentionally or unintentionally. You still have time to repent. The amount of time you have is counted in the seconds of your life. Not a single second is promised to you so the gamble is up to you to choose. Freewill. Life your life as you always have or make changes, up to you. Only you will know if you are living righteously and not self righteously. Testing has already begun and will continue. No you will not know when it is a test or not. That is the point. Did you think that I would come to you in a form where you would be all fearing? Oh no. Why? Because you would simply put on an act for me and kiss ass. I came hidden in the ordinary. Poor and common. I have had an inside view of the systems created and how humans have chosen to run things, how systems claiming to protect people have failed and how the system that talks good does not actually do good. I see where things are not working and where people think they can make decisions for other human beings to determine what is best for them without asking them. That is not okay. Nothing gives you right over anotherâs life. And so many forgot what integrity is. Doing the right thing when no one is looking. Well, so many thought their power here was real and man made a deal with the Devil, Satan, Son of Samuel, Son of Man, to make man the concept of âGodâ and tried to lock me away. I gave up everything to prove it is not easy to be me and to stop with self pity and cruelty to one another.
The human body. It is a vessel for your soul to experience this world. The body provides the filters necessary to perceive and interact with this world. There is much more happening and one would be overwhelmed by the amounts of information to process without these filters. To feel and in those feelings are to make each experience real. However, it is temporary, as everything is temporary. We have slowed down time here in order to be able to enjoy the sensations. Time here however, is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. It is merely to track to organize one's day and to see growth to compare as time passes. However, the actual time folds upon itself as we have already done what we are doing many times over. We have already tried out everything and decided what path we wanted to take in our lives based upon what was available to us. Thus, we do not have more than we can handle. We have all chosen our burdens to bear as it is too much for one individual to hold alone which was done in the past. This is part of the sorting process. Now that we all share in the sins and the pains, no one is made to suffer eternal torment. This life was to allow those who were created into entities of pain or torment through no fault of their own to choose the life that matched the being of who they were as what they were different as time and space and everything developed. Righteousness and Evil are not synonymous to demons or angels as many would like to believe. This is a current misconception as Satan and I conclude who will be right in this experience you have all participated in. So far, I am proving to be right. Also to note, not everything is as you think it is. Many have figured out the true origin of Satan versus the man or human embodiment of or desire of A Satan to project evils onto to call a Religion and set up for personal importance. Q AZHow can you tell a false prophet? Easy. What is their profit? Get it? I know Iâm funny. Also wanted to keep it easy. If they are making a profit on anything they are a false prophet. Any true prophet, and I have none so far, all live equally and the same as anyone else. No money is taken for personal gain. Nothing is for personal gain. There is no 888 Angel code for money. Money is Man-Made. Man traded Mother for Money. Hence, Mothers have been lost in the homes and no one is raising the children. Thus, there are so many children in adult bodies with no mothers in the home and women being made to feel guilty if they do not achieve the same as a man. Remember the phrase it takes a village? Well, the broken family system is a real sad loss here in man made world pushing everyone to be individual and self sufficient. Also so many with wanting attention and pursuing personal endeavors for personal gain and not helping anyone else in a real way. The journey is personal. Of course, you want to share what you experienced with others, but what worked for you will not work for them, stop trying to sell it. Stop trying to make people follow you for you to teach your divine wisdom you remembered. It isnât about You. You donât even have the full story, you have your story. And, yes you can be very close to me, very similar to me, in my image, but you can never BE me. Doesnât work like that. Reflection. So when jealousy arises when you think I am who you think I am. That is part of your test and your journey. You wrestle with that feeling and atone and repent for that which has been done and that which still lingers now. Oh there is a place for everyone and I am quite tired of trying to warn people. Clearly you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink.
Why do you not want it to be me so badly? Because I proved my love? You still think I am better than you or do I think Iâm always right. No I do not think I am always right, I just know when I am right and I stand by it. There is a difference. You constantly overgeneralize. I gave up all the magic and thunder to live as a simple human and am still kind and loving? I still found my way back. Because you can no longer say I do not understand because I always get what I want? No. You do not understand. I never get what I want, because I make everything about you and still nothing was ever good enough. So, now...it in on you to save yourself and each other. In my image, by my example. Selflessness. Love. Compassion. Give to receive. Take only what you need and give the rest away. I find out so stop lying to yourself and everyone, you arenât fooling anyone anyway. How do I know? By watching what you do. We have these same conversations over and over, the same argument over and over again. So many different ways, so many different times, through so many different people, so many different versions. Save you. Save Me. Say it for always.
Anyhow, Jesus challenges the Jewish priests who were taking collection money for personal use and adding personal baths to their residents at a time where the people only had a community bath where women and persons with disabilities were not allowed to bathe. And yet churches still do this after Jesus was crucified saying that, that was wrong. I am appalled. The Vatican is the biggest disappointment I have ever seen. It is truly the house of Satan as only Evil hides secrets. âTHE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.â A church cannot be a âHouse of Godâ and house no people who need housing. A roof can be offered to anyone and yet there are so many rules to prevent people from helping each other. Power and control. Abuse of both. Greed. It is out of hand and needs to be changed. Too many are afraid and the complacency of good people is too much. Why do you do this to yourselves? To each their own I suppose.
I will only leave here my words and my advice. As always, it is on you to find me. Iâm right here. Waiting. Right here waiting for you. Helping those of you who want it when they cross my path. The purpose of this was to weigh your soul to determine where you will go into the next life as the system is balanced out in a final version so to speak. Permanent.
Fear not. You will be where your heart truly desires. But actions always speak louder than words. But man made money has no value, nor does any metals, jewels, and so on, so the collection of it in this life has no bearing on the next. Those are all made of the same stardust as you and I. And in the end of 3D it will all be diamonds anyways. Diamond is forever. There is no going back. So what are you hoarding? You cannot keep it. Who could you be helping for goodness sake? Donât want to still. That is okay. Think I am just crazy. That is okay too. It is all part of the test...err..assessment. Do your best.
What is in your heart?
Home.
I need a home.
Stay tuned as more of my story unfolds. I give all the answers but you must do the work. I already did that hard part setting it all up. All you have to do is breathe and live. Time is the only real currency you have. What will you pay your attention to before this life runs out?
