2024.05.21 22:24 Choice-Possession-55 Was I abused as a kid?
I believe I was. I’ve told friends about my life and I’ve talked to my parents about their treatment, but I keep getting told other people have it worse or I didn’t have it that bad. I wonder if I’m just being dramatic.
Some non-chronological events:
I would ride along with my mom searching for my dad when he would go on drug binges. I watched my dad hit my grandma over and over after he had to turn the car around because he forgot his wallet at home. She started "talking too much". After he beat her, she laid across the backseat in silence. I was silent too. I wished for superpowers so that when he hit her, I would be the one to feel her pain instead. I screamed at the crackhead women my dad invited into the house after he was gone on a drug binge. She threatened to throw me out of the window. My dad stayed silent. My dad invited that same women into the house a few months later, because she apologized to him. My dad used to give me frequent back scratches. He would trail his hand down my back and rub the area just above my butt. My dad was inebriated and knocking on each of our bedroom doors. My mom texted me to not open my bedroom door for him but I needed to pee. By the time I came back, he had a blanket on the ground and was asleep. My stomach sunk. I slept under the bed. My mom dragged her fingernails across my face and asked what I was going to do about it and if I was going to fight back. My dad called me a waste of brain cells because he went down the wrong way in a one way street going to a fair. He turned around and drove home. I locked myself in my room and sobbed and texted my mom that I didn't want to live anymore. I woke up in the hospital after my suicide attempt to my dad in the room. The first thing he said to me was that I must really care what people think about me. In a drafted suicide note, I addressed each person in my life except my mom. My mom found it in my room and photocopied it. She wrote notes on the side and was upset that I didn't write to her. My dad threatened to give me and my sibling up to adopt some children who would actually spend time with him. My dad badmouthed me to a date when I was in the backseat of his car. I filled out a sheet in elementary school for fun with my friends. It was for something like a summer camp. My mom chased me throughout the house and snatched it. She asked if I was trying to send myself away. My dad told me to not tell authorities about him because I'd get taken away. My mom told me I needed to go home. I cried on the way home because I thought she was going to kill herself after she stopped responding to my texts. She left scavenger hunt instructions for the key to her bedroom. Inside her bedroom were letters to each of us detailing that she was leaving my dad. I didn't see her again for months.

"I love "Star Trek" deeply because of its radical, aggressive optimism. It envisions a world, and a form of entertainment, that downplays conflict. Drama and power can come from elsewhere.

Quotes:
"Like many Trekkies, I came to "Star Trek" at an early age. Throughout the 1980s, reruns of the original series would air on my local station (KCOP, channel 13 in Los Angeles), and they would serve as a periodic video backdrop to our dinnertimes. As a child, "Star Trek" was merely an action-light, horror-heavy sci-fi adventure series, and my older sister and I would gleefully yell out when Spock (Leonard Nimoy) performed his notorious Vulcan nerve pinch, or when Captain Kirk (William Shatner) got to snog an itinerant babe. We would hide our heads from the monster of the week; like many, I was terrified by the scowling face of Balok, the Ted Cassidy-voiced puppet alien from "The Corbomite Maneuver" (November 10, 1966).
Perhaps unusually for a child, I wasn't powerfully drawn to action, fights, or explosions in my entertainment. I would indeed watch the era's toyetic wartime cartoons like "Transformers" and "G.I. Joe," of course, but I didn't care deeply for the characters, nor have much invested in their dramatic stakes. I had trouble taking the "oorah" action seriously, perhaps already innately understanding that the cartoon soldiers were fictional and their triumphs were only temporary; what is the meaning of a victory when the bad guys will merely return the following week?
I only realized this in retrospect, but "Star Trek" was secretly providing an antidote to the breathless mayhem oozing from every pore of my generation's childhood entertainment. It was a series that, despite bad guys, monsters, and fights, was ultimately teaching intense lessons of diplomacy and leadership. The crew of the Enterprise weren't "violent/cool," and I liked that. Finally, I realized, here was a show about pacifism.
And, yes, "Star Trek" communicated themes of pacifism. It might have been a fluke of 1960s special effects budgets, but "Star Trek" rarely showed the USS Enterprise firing off its weapons or getting into full-scale starship battles. The common playground pop culture query of "who would win in a fight?" seemed churlish with "Star Trek." Would Kirk win in a fight with, say, Han Solo? Even as a wee bairn, I had to ask why Kirk and Han Solo would be fighting in the first place. I figured Spock would merely ask Han Solo about his ship while Kirk invited him in for a meal. Power, "Star Trek" argued, wasn't derived from one's ability to dominate and overwhelm others with tactics and weapons prowess, but to negotiate, adapt, and remain friendly.
[...]
Whether "Star Trek" taught me to be a pacifist or whether I was already a pacifist can be debated, but creator Gene Roddenberry and I were definitely on the same wavelength. "Star Trek" took place in a post-war universe at a time when humans had outgrown the need to kill each other for resources, and petty political grievances were a thing of the past.
[...]
Star Trek is for nerds, and that's a good thing
While it may be a cliché, I still maintain that "Star Trek" is for nerds. That is, I should hasten to add, a high compliment. With the release of "Next Generation," I was given my clearest, most refreshing draft of action-antidote. I began to realize that the rest of the American viewing public longed for conflict and war and action in their entertainment, with boys my age constantly raving about the latest 'splosion-fest that evoked the word "awesome."
Meanwhile, over on "Star Trek: The Next Generation," the universe had already graduated, moved into the stars, and gave up on action altogether. Oh sure, Commander Riker (Jonathan Frakes) was handy with a phaser, Worf (Michael Dorn) could murder you with a bat'leth, and the USS Enterprise-D needed to employ some sneaky battlefield tactics to outgun the Borg (or any number of other opponents), but one always got the sense that weapons and fights were a last-ditch tactic, a formality that must be seen through before an understanding could be reached. War was to be avoided at all costs.
What's more, there were classical references! Whenever Picard quoted Shakespeare, my heart would sing. By the time I turned 13 (when NextGen had just finished its fourth season), I too was getting into Shakespeare and Picard emerged as a teacher, a fictional professor that you didn't want to disappoint. I finally realized that the nerdy sci-fi technicalities of "Star Trek," along with its classical obsessions, workplace propriety, devotion to diplomacy, multicultural mindsets, and ability to brainstorm open-minded solutions to complex problems ... these were all aspirational states. Scoop in a few ethical dilemmas — racism, euthanasia, gender politics — and "Trek" gave me everything.
Star Trek obsession is healthy, actually
Like with the original series, the peacefulness of "Next Generation" could easily have been a product of its budget; without the money to stage massive phaser battles, fights and scrapes rarely rose above the skirmish level. This, by necessity, required the show to de-emphasize violence. The makers of "NextGen" also couldn't afford to visit alien worlds regularly, forcing them to shoot on the same six or seven sets week after week.
The limitations, however, allowed Trekkies to enjoy our time on board the Enterprise. "Star Trek" is, after all, a workplace drama above anything else, and we loved seeing the characters do their jobs on an day-to-day basis. We lived with the Enterprise crew long enough that we started to get a sense of how the ship worked. That, in turn, led directly into fantasies of living in "Star Trek," knowing we could operate the machinery if asked. It also didn't seem so terrible to live in a world that was devoted to science, peace, and diplomacy.
[...]
When J.J. Abrams' 2009 "Star Trek" reboot film came out, the franchise was altered to be one of the usual action flicks that "Trek" previously eschewed. It appealed to a mass audience. Conversations began as to what constituted "real Trek," leading directly into additional conversations about gatekeeping, fandom, and franchise evolution. Is "Star Trek" for nerds, or can it appeal to — for lack of a better term — jocks?
Conversations between Trekkies in the 1990s were impassioned, but rarely caustic (at least in my experience). In 2009, however, notions of fan toxicity were more openly acknowledged among pop obsessives, and people became angrier about their obsessions. All of a sudden, I was an "old school" Trekkie.
I was 31 and okay being "old school." After all, decades had passed since "Next Generation," a series that responded to Ronald Reagan and flourished during the 1990s. Why shouldn't it adjust again? I didn't like the franchise's actioned-up response to 9/11, but I was still happy to have debates as to what "Star Trek" meant and what modern action films communicated.
"Trek" taught me to negotiate ... about "Trek."
What Star Trek means today
I am on record with my feelings about the Paramount+ era of "Star Trek," and I have frequently been rather critical. I want to go on record, however, that my criticisms are not based in misplaced nostalgia, prejudicial hate against new "Star Trek," nor a gradually closing mind (an unfortunate affliction that can sometimes strike people rounding middle age). Indeed, I have liked a great deal of the "Star Trek" shows that have debuted since 2017. I think "Star Trek: Lower Decks" perfectly balances humor and irreverence with notable "Star Trek" themes of growth and maturity. "Lower Decks" is about lower-ranking officers who have the crappiest jobs on a Starfleet vessel, and struggle to grow up when they have a twentysomething's instincts toward laziness and bad decision-making. "Star Trek" is about adults, and "Lower Decks" sees people becoming adults.
Likewise, "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" returns to an episodic structure, allowing for miniature dramas and handily-packaged morality plays to be presented more cleanly than the broad arcs of "Discovery" or "Picard." I only wince at "Star Trek" when it violates its own principles or lazily falls into action-based stories that (perhaps unwittingly) glorify combat, war, and aggression. And make no mistake, these kinds of stories were always part of the franchise; they didn't start in 2017.
I love "Star Trek" deeply because of its radical, aggressive optimism. It envisions a world, and a form of entertainment, that downplays conflict. Drama and power can come from elsewhere. The future, "Trek" always declared, was going to be populated by nerds, miracle tech, and egalitarianism. And what's so funny about peace, love, and understanding?
War was our awkward adolescence, "Trek" said, and our adulthood is in the stars."

Otherwise minimal use and carry, I’m at least 2nd owner and unsure of history. Comes with original box. SV $100

Boker Barlow Expedition Another slippity doo da, this one a green micarta scaled clip point in 440c. It is indeed slicey just like you’d want it to be. I have not carried and only sliced paper, otherwise basically new. Comes with original box and papers. SV $115

Add ons Busted up ragged Case slippy - free to first to purchase one of the above knives
Kershaw Blur - I’ve used this a lot and sharpened, has a very sharp edge currently. $25 add on to either knife.
“we have sebenza at home” “Land frame lock. I stole that joke about the sebenza but the guy who said it first got banned from Reddit so now I can use it whenever I want. $10 add on to either knife.
Chat with questions, thanks all!
2024.05.20 23:51 kingofbreakers Tips for a secret meeting/intrigue event.
So my players have been invited to protect/attend a secret summit to discuss seceding from a larger country. Basic background on that is that a section of a country known as the Westheart is planning to secede from a more war-mongering country. This isn’t purely altruistic as mages and artificers and mercantile groups would benefit greatly.
My question is just advice on running the encounter. 3/4 of the party are defending against a team of assassins from outside the meeting room while the warlock will be attending the meeting as the “Vox Populi” (voice of the people) and will be given a vote on whether a declaration will be drafted.
I want to give as much of the meeting as possible while avoiding “talking to myself” too much as the NPCs attending the summit.
Right now I plan to have everything in initiative order and on the warlocks turn give little summaries of what’s been said and allow him to interact with the NPCs.
Any advice or tips for something like this is very appreciated!

2024.05.20 22:23 N3belwerfer I told my parents I was suicidal as a teen.
Backstory: My wife, kids and I left the church last year and my ultra TBM parents are still coming to grips with me throwing away my celestial blessings. We see them yearly and this last weekend was our first face-to-face since I let them know. (We live well outside Moridor, they relish life within the Utah Valley bubble)
There were fireworks. Mother asked inappropriately-prying Mormon questions regarding the kids relationships with their girlfriends and my wife and I let her know she had overstepped her bounds. Father accused me of inviting the spirit of contention. They tried to leave, I convinced them to stay. Yada, yada, yada... normal stuff.
Early the next morning, I drafted them an email explaining why the situation struck a nerve with me. I don't want my children to experience the immense guilt and shame I went through, and I told my parents that there was a time I was suicidal. All because of "sexual sin' due to having masturbated as a teen and my relapses meant that I was no longer fit to be alive. (Grandma had given me the Gospel Library when I turned 12 and I had read Miracle of Forgiveness around age 13. Nevertheless, my scrupulosity meant that I took those books and the teachings very seriously.) The email contained about 10 quotes, from MoF and other sources, all stating that it's better to be dead than to be unchaste. I also sent Alma 39:5
The email response I got was "Sorry, I had no idea you struggled with that sin".
What!?! Of course I went on (in person) to explain they had missed the point if they thought my sin was the problem. I explained that no organization should have its volunteers asking kids about their deeply personal activities etc. That I had written a letter to her saying goodbye to the world because of an ideal that is still being taught today never fazed my mother. That I wouldn't be here if the Gospel Library's "truth" were enacted never penetrated their thought stopping abilities. I went on to explain that these topics are not any organization's business regardless of what the handbook states. They actually agreed but said that the points I brought up are all in the past and I need to let it go, because I didn't go through with it and the church doesn't do that any longer. Ugh!
Still, I think the only thing my mother heard is that her son masturbated and she was shocked by what a horrible sin had been committed in her home.

2024.05.20 20:07 HRJafael Forum to be held Wednesday on Montague’s Solar Action Plan
https://archive.is/HyfLl
The Energy Committee and Solar Planning Committee invite residents who want to be involved in planning for solar installations to a forum being held on Zoom on Wednesday, May 22, at 6:30 p.m.
The meeting will offer an opportunity for residents and business owners in all five of Montague’s villages to provide input on and explore ways that the town’s draft Community Solar Action Plan could be used as a starting point for solar planning. The draft plan includes suggested locations for solar arrays based on what residents prefer and potential sites for larger solar projects.
The draft plan was developed by two University of Massachusetts Amherst students in collaboration with UMass Clean Energy Extension faculty experts, and it presents a range of ideas and opportunities for the planning of future solar installations in town. The UMass Clean Energy Extension faculty members leading Wednesday’s meeting will summarize the draft plan and leave time for questions and explorations of next steps.

2024.05.20 18:04 SpareObject5806 Do Not Participate in DraftKings' VIP Showcase
 | TL,DR: After being invited to participate in DraftKing's VIP Showcase, I spent one weekend where I picked up my DraftKings activity and bet on player prop arbitrages. My betting volume immediately earned me an invite into their VIP program; however, my limits were also significantly reduced, which made me no longer eligible to particiapte. Unless you enjoy blowing a lot of money with the sportsbooks for status, think twice before participating in their VIP showcase. submitted by SpareObject5806 to sportsbetting [link] [comments] Full story: I've been betting on DraftKings (among other books) for about a year. I do originate some bets and occassional bet for rooting interest, but I predominantly bet on arbitrages particularly in the futures market. The NBA and NHL seasons both ended right around the same time, which resulted in a fairly large volume of my bets settling at just around the same time. I assume this spike in volume put me on the radar for DraftKing's VIP Program because about a week after the regular sesons end, I received this invite to participate in their VIP program: https://preview.redd.it/9hq9o0aztl1d1.png?width=1484&format=png&auto=webp&s=2e46b5e23e73691b8b23fb9c6c076abaa936ee8c I was intriqued by bonus bets, but didn't want to leave any extra cash sitting with DraftKings, so I waited until I spotted an NBA series prop arbitrage to deposit, bet the arbitrage bet, and then collect the bonus bets. Soon after, I was formally included into their 3-week VIP showcase, where the offer for the first weekend (Thursday-Sunday) was that I would get $100 in Bonus Bets for ever $1,000 that I wagered and settled in that time period. They also said that at the end of the showcase, my account would be upgraded to one of three VIP tiers "based on my play". I inquired what that actually meant, and was given the following ranges for the volume they were looking for to get upgraded: https://preview.redd.it/qp81fx40ul1d1.png?width=1496&format=png&auto=webp&s=66442226a7440c4e9bf8541760bade0899c35937 I don't normally place that kind of handle weekly, which is why DraftKings has programs like this, to push players outside their normal limits, but that's besides the point. From my perspective, I wanted to maximize the bonus bet payout by playing volume through, but also wanted to not take any big losses. Given that the bets had tosettled within a four day timeframe, I couldn't bet on futures like I typically do. So instead I used a line aggregator to pick off NBA player prop arbitrages, where I made a slight profit (less than 1% ROI) on every wager, but more importantly I was getting volume through DraftKings to rack up bonus bets. After the first week, I played enough volume to be immediately upgraded to the VIP program: https://preview.redd.it/syddw6e1ul1d1.png?width=1340&format=png&auto=webp&s=61004f42c1627746faad9dc688f7ae2a2073cc3d While waiting for my VIP status to come through, I started to play my bonus bets where my strategy was to maximize their value by arbitraging them, which I did by finding rich plus odds on DraffKings. However, I soon realized I could no longer place $100 bets on any alternate line or player prop market, as seen below: https://preview.redd.it/i5x1ltk5ul1d1.png?width=1179&format=png&auto=webp&s=5c9b26c4f0175977b13f8a64e73e35b1f6f1ef35 The week also passed without me hearing back from the VIP team, so I reached out to figure out what was going on. As I suspected, my play was flagged which made me inelligible to continue with the VIP program: https://preview.redd.it/x4c47bi2ul1d1.png?width=1084&format=png&auto=webp&s=fcf58df327cacf4821c61ce8155c14e4360938d6 So for those who didn't know this already, it's clear that getting special treatment from a sportsbook means they think you're a loser. If you view sportsbetting as purely entertainment and you're willing to pay for the experience, then this is great for you. For those like me, who enjoy the game of winning off the sportsbook by any means necessary, I would recommend avoiding VIP programs at all costs. I'm sure I would've gotten limited eventually (as I have on other books) so I knew this day was inevitable, but I was hoping my invitation to the program meant that DraftKings did not view me as a proftiable bettor which would give me a bit more time to milk the experience. Unfortunately, this was purely a bait and switch where I outed myself and ultimately got myself limited. |

2024.05.20 12:44 throwaway1144882299 Victim… as of this morning
Hello. As of this morning, I’ve become a victim.
I woke up to strange messages coming from an unknown iCloud account, checked the messages, and they’ve got screenshots of my nudes, as well as screenshots of my instagram followers.
I’ve sent nudes but only to people I’ve been in a relationship with for some time, and I’ve stored a few photos of myself in a hidden folder on my phone. I now understand that the way to be safe is to just never take these kinds of photos…
I have no idea how they got a hold of them, though I assume it was from my iCloud.
The messages were demanding an insane amount of money, and threatening to leak the photos to group chats on instagram (which had invites to colleagues, friends and family) and there was a draft post on Facebook accusing me of being a pedofile. The scammer used my instagram profile picture and a very similar username to create a fake conversation between “me” and the scammer.
The account they used in the Instagram messages is an account that started following me months ago, but I thought nothing of it as my account is used for my business and lots of random people follow me.
It sucks. This whole thing fucking sucks. It’s one of the worst feelings. And it’s made worse by the police saying they can’t do much as the scammer is in another country and I don’t have the personal details of him.
I dread how anxiety-ridden the next months and longer will be.

2024.05.20 07:31 Dry_Video9909 When Sending Out Save the Dates, How many should I send out and expect at my wedding?
I am starting to finalize my guest list and our wedding capacity is 100 people. I heard that typically you can expect 75-85% of people to show up at your wedding. In the rough draft stage, the list sits at 135. I am curious if I should go ahead and send out save the dates and invites to all 135 and expect 75% to show up. Or should I narrow it down closer to 100 people and strategize from there? Maybe working with an A list and B list?

Reviews🔗Dysmio Clear Hammered Glass Ceiling Fan Cover Bell Shapehttps://preview.redd.it/71z8zwuxdi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff1cd0e6ed9202e01c2735762f59f5eb1b64c5b5 As an avid interior design enthusiast, I've been continually scouting for ways to spruce up my living space without breaking the bank. I stumbled upon the Dysmio Ceiling Fan Light Covers and let me tell you, they've brought a whole new level of elegance and charm to my home. These small details make a world of difference when it comes to altering the atmosphere of a room. The Dysmio Ceiling Fan Light Covers are traditional bell-shaped glasses made from clear hammered glass that gently ripples light, casting delicate patterns throughout my space. They've added a touch of sophistication and class that perfectly complements the existing decor. It's amazing how much of a difference a simple replacement of light covers can make in transforming your home's look and feel. One thing that really stood out for me was the ease of installation. Each cover comes with its own mounting hole, making it a breeze to attach to my ceiling fans, wall lamps, and chandeliers. The standard 2-1/4-inch fitter also ensures versatility, so I didn't have to worry about compatibility issues. However, the one aspect that could be improved is the size. With a height and depth of 4.75 inches, and a base width of 4.95 inches, they might not be the perfect fit for every type of light fixture. But in my case, they were just the right size to bring a renewed sense of style and ambiance to my living space. In conclusion, the Dysmio Ceiling Fan Light Covers are an affordable and effective way to breathe new life into your home's lighting fixtures, transforming your living space with elegant and classic charm. I can wholeheartedly recommend these light cover replacements for anyone looking to elevate their interior design without breaking the bank. 🔗Classic Diamond Crystal Ceiling Light Shadehttps://preview.redd.it/wra3tu01ei1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5102394f7e2015f92452288d307b2f8adc12ba39 I've recently added the Boao Gold Crystal Lamp Shade to my living room, and I couldn't be happier with the sparkle it brings to the space. This product not only gives off a warm, inviting glow, but it's also incredibly durable. The non-toxic paint ensures that it won't easily rust or fade, making it a great addition to any room. One thing to note is that the assembly process does require some effort, but once it's up and running, the payoff is worth it. The diamond and cylindrical shape of the lampshade complements a variety of decors, making it a versatile piece to have in your home. However, keep in mind that the size might not be ideal for those looking to install this in a smaller room or ceiling height. Additionally, the packaging could use some improvement to ensure that the delicate crystal pieces remain intact during shipping. Overall, I would definitely recommend the Boao Gold Crystal Lamp Shade to anyone looking to enhance the ambiance of their living space with a touch of sparkle and elegance. 🔗Clear & Frosted Ceiling Fan Light Cover with Handmade Qualityhttps://preview.redd.it/miv0cni1ei1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c719e44ddb634b9c1ab33230232a68c4ad4d3680 I recently installed the XIDING Clear & Frosted Ceiling Fans Light Covers Glass Shade in my living room, and I must say, it's been a game-changer for my interior lighting. The handmade quality of this glass shade is truly impressive, and it adds a touch of elegance to our ceiling fan. One of the best things about this glass shade is its compatibility with various ceiling fan light kit products that use a 2-1/8 inch fitter. This made replacing my old, damaged glass shade incredibly easy and straightforward. Plus, the water-resistant material makes cleaning a breeze! However, it's crucial to correctly measure the inside diameter of your glass holder before purchasing this product. This ensures a perfect fit and avoids any disappointment upon installation. Additionally, although I didn't encounter any issues during installation, it's essential to have an adult on hand to assist with moving and placing the glass shade safely. Customer satisfaction is a top priority for XIDING. If for any reason you are unhappy with your purchase, you can request a refund as long as the item and package are in original and perfect condition.

As an avid DIY enthusiast, I'm always on the lookout for products that can simplify my home maintenance efforts. This product checks all the boxes - from its sleek, low-profile design to its high-quality construction, it definitely stands out. What I really dug about the Turner Light Covers is their ease of installation.

The fact that they're compatible with up to 8-inch recessed lights adds to their versatility, making them suitable for both commercial and residential use. Another key feature of these light covers is their resilience against heat and rust. They're built to handle the harsh outdoor elements, giving you peace of mind knowing they won't degrade over time. Additionally, the transparent screen provides protection without compromising on light output, ensuring your space stays bright and inviting. However, despite all these positives, I did find one con - the price. It's a bit on the higher side compared to similar products in the market. But given the durability and convenience they offer, I think it's a worthwhile investment. All in all, the Turner Light Covers have significantly improved my home maintenance experiences, making bulb replacements a hassle-free task. If you're in the market for a high-quality light cover solution, these are definitely worth considering. 🔗Modern Raindrop Style Glass Cylinderhttps://preview.redd.it/guue6yd2ei1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca90b0040c4af5ced8bfc36e74fc16bcb0efd2e2 I recently came across Anmire 3 Pack Modern Raindrop Style Glass Shade, and I must say, this is a game-changer for my home decor.

Another highlight of the glass shade is the way it beautifully filters the light, casting subtle raindrop-shaped patterns on my walls. It has transformed my space, giving it a touch of romance and artistry that I absolutely adore. However, one concern I have is its fragility. I would advise handling it with care, as it might break if dropped. In conclusion, the Anmire 3 Pack Modern Raindrop Style Glass Shade has been a wonderful addition to my home. Its stylish design, variety of applications, and easy installation make it a must-have for anyone looking to upgrade their light fixtures.

I was initially concerned about how compatible these covers would be with my IC-rated recessed lights, but after reading through the installation instructions and checking the specs, I found that they worked perfectly. The FF130E is made from a fire-safe material and has been tested to meet UL1598 and IEC 60598-1 standards, providing peace of mind when it comes to safety. One of the standout features of this product is its ease of installation; it took me just a few minutes to cover each light without any special tools or assembly required. Another positive aspect of the Tenmat Recessed Light Cover is its ability to save energy. By providing an airtight seal over my recessed lights, I've noticed a significant reduction in drafts and noise, leading to a more comfortable living space. However, there is one drawback worth mentioning. Some users might find the product's price point to be slightly higher than other alternatives on the market. Despite this, I believe the quality and performance of the Tenmat FF130E make it a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to improve their home's energy efficiency and overall comfort. 🔗Stained Glass Light Shade for Chandelier, Wall Sconce or Pendanthttps://preview.redd.it/mcjbeef4ei1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e09129bd253d0c4726320be0d957f87ee8d83da2 I decided to upgrade my lighting fixtures to give my home a new look, which led me to discover the Skelang Glassy Light Shade.

It was super easy to install, and it completely transformed the look of my garage. The matte white shade covers the exposed bulb and provides a nice, diffused light that's perfect for working on projects. One of the best things about this product is that it really is "EZ" to install. I mean, it took me less than a minute to clip it onto the bulb – no tools or re-wiring required! The scratch, UV, and shatter-resistant materials make me feel confident that my light bulb is secure and won't cause any safety concerns. However, there was one minor inconvenience that I experienced. The metal clasp could be a little more versatile in terms of positioning. For instance, I had to bend it slightly to accommodate the shape of my light bulb, but it wasn't a big deal and it didn't affect the overall performance of the product. I also appreciate the fact that this product is made in the USA by local and family-owned businesses. Plus, each purchase supports the disabled community by providing vocational work. It's a win-win for everyone! Overall, I am extremely happy with the EZ Shade Clip on Ceiling Light Bulb Cover. It's a simple yet effective solution for covering exposed bulbs and improving the ambiance of any room. I highly recommend giving it a try! 🔗Opal White Ceiling Fan Light Shade Coverhttps://preview.redd.it/49xrl9w6ei1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a40210e8fa00464819a5511a243b3d0e61032da I've been using the "Opal White Ceiling Fan Light Covers" for quite some time now, and I've found them to be quite useful in revamping the look of my rooms. The light that emanates through them provides a soft and warm glow, perfect for creating a cozy ambiance in any space. The glass shades are made of high-quality material, ensuring durability and longevity. I've noticed that they are quite easy to clean and maintain, which is a huge plus. The fan light covers are compatible with a variety of ceiling fans and light fixtures, making them a versatile option for anyone looking to update their lighting. However, one con I've experienced with these light covers is that they can be slightly tricky to install at first, but once you get the hang of it, the process becomes much smoother. Overall, I would definitely recommend the "Opal White Ceiling Fan Light Covers" to anyone looking for a cost-effective way to update their lighting fixtures and add a touch of elegance to their space. 🔗Modern White Opal Glass Lamp Shadehttps://preview.redd.it/q7gpf2c7ei1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1c5a3b1f61f01913849c9f87c4a3efdea4279590 You know how sometimes a simple piece can complete the look of your living space? Well, that's exactly what my Voguad White Opal glass lamp shade did for me. This little glass shield, with its frosted exterior and white opal finish, has the power to transform any room into a warm and inviting haven. The cylindrical shape is sleek and modern, and it complements a variety of decor styles. It's not just an aesthetic addition though, the white opal glass diffuses light evenly creating a soft glow that's both pleasing to the eyes and perfect for relaxing. One thing that I really appreciate about the Voguad glass shade is its versatility. It fits perfectly with my wall sconce, ceiling light, chandelier, hanging light, and pendant light fixtures. It's like a wardrobe essential that works with everything in my closet! Plus, the fact that it's 5.5 inches tall and 3.5 inches in diameter means it caters to a wide range of lamp base sizes. The service from Voguad was outstanding too. They offered a 30-day free return and a 24-month free exchange policy, showing that they genuinely care about their customers' satisfaction. However, it’s not all roses and sunshine. While the glass shade is beautifully designed and built to last, it doesn’t come with any mounting hardware. So, you may need to visit your local hardware store to find the right fitter, especially if you have an older lamp base. Through and through, I'm thrilled with my Voguad White Opal glass lamp shade. It's been a perfect addition to my home, transforming each room into a warm and inviting space. Despite the lack of mounting hardware, the exceptional design and performance make this glass shade a wise choice for any household. 🔗Stylish, Durable Glass Lamp Shades for Ceiling Fanshttps://preview.redd.it/gjlwh9o7ei1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e15adffea5362eaae6a5730c712f3e695c0b8e67 I recently replaced the old, outdated glass shades on my ceiling fan with the Lamp Replacement for Ceiling Fan - Clear Ribbed, and I must say, I am absolutely thrilled with my decision! The opal white glass offers a soft, diffused light that instantly creates a warm and inviting atmosphere in my living room. What I love most about these glass shades is how versatile they are - not only do they fit perfectly onto my ceiling fan, but they also work seamlessly with my flush mount ceiling lights. The high-quality glass feels extremely durable and sturdy, and I am confident that they will last for many years to come. Additionally, I am impressed with how easy these shades are to clean and maintain, which is a major plus in my book. One minor drawback is that the installation process could be made slightly easier, as it was a bit of a challenge to align the shades perfectly. However, this is a relatively small issue in comparison to the overall satisfaction I have with these glass shades. In conclusion, the Lamp Replacement for Ceiling Fan - Clear Ribbed is an excellent choice for anyone looking to update their ceiling light fixtures with a stylish and functional solution.

 | Look, I really do like Taylor and her new album is better than I thought it would be. But oh my GAWD, there is ZERO universe where there needs to be 50 different versions of your new album.

2024.05.19 23:30 friedshushi Every controversial opinion I have about a champion and making every redditor angry
Well here's a post where I'm almost inviting everyone to roast me for free, but it's reddit so I don't care. These are my negative opinions are whatever champions I have in this game (as of patch 5.1). I'll try to avoid problems due to 'damage creep' but due to 'design/game experience' problems. I would actually love if someone could share some insights that could change my opinions on any of these champions. Or you could be that angry redditor in the comments screaming away at me willing to die on a hill for your champion. Eithers fine.
You'll notice there's a general theme of "uninteractive", "there is no counterplay in XYZ scenario", and "effort-reward ratio" which equals to "This is not fucking fun to play against"
Tryndamere: Rework his ult. It's design is one of the most braindead and toxic things to deal with ever. It's not actually that bad in-game as I'm describing it because most champions have some gap closecc, it's just from the receiving end experiencing it I don't think anyone will describe it as 'it felt fun'. His ult design is basically a "I'm going to die, so let me try and turn on you for 5s and try to kill you." And since he takes ghost and flash, it either plays out as after a series of extremely good trades and well plays on your end, he suddenly turns on you and kills you, OR he plays extremely badly and gets a free get-out-of-jail card and runs away. Yes he still loses a massive amount of gold to the turret, but the universal response to dealing with a champion in this game is KILLING them, and tryndamere is the only champion that violates that. It's a really toxic and cheap design for an ult.
Singed: His entire playstyle is about avoiding interaction and wasting everyone's time as much as possible. It's just not conducive to the game design based on how the rest of the champions was designed; based on INTERACTION.
Sett: I can't say anything bad about sett I just strongly dislike how stupidly high his low his skill floor to impact ratio is. The most newbie player can just run at any tank, press ult, E, W and win his team the entire fight. Again, I'm not saying he doesn't require skill. He's actually a very hard champ to get good at. It's only that the worst players can pick him up and impact the game way bigger than they should be ever able to at their skill level.
Camille: Not a negative opinion but my own perference. Undo her rework, like, all the way to on-release. I stopped playing her because I enjoyed her difficult kit but she got oversimplified. Basically her old kit Q used to require re-tapping the ability to reactive, W only had bonus applied on the outer half instead of the entire cone (and I think no healing or no slow? I can't remember), and E had no cd refund and atkspd buff if you missed hookshot.
Yone: Please just delete this champion from this game. This guy for me is just riot's golden boy for the 200years meme. I don't care if his numbers were actually balanced, it's everything IN his kit that is just overloaded beyond saving. Hybrid damage, true damage, max health dmg, on demand shield, double crit, 2 abilties reduced by atkspd, 2 knockups, 3 gap closers, AOE on 3 abilties, zed's ult on a basic ability. He's also known for missing everything and still killing you because even if he misses his E and Ult, he can just gap close with 3rdQ and wail on you with Q and W for the same threat damage. Like wth?
Yasuo: I'm a yasuo main but even I won't defend his windwall. I think the rest of his kit is fine (especially since he has only 2 main damaging abilities, one gated behind a condition, and not 4 unlike yone which require 0 setup), but just something about his W being able to block entire ultimates and affect EVERY SINGLE ranged champion on the enemy team for FOUR seconds is just not right. Like there's just no counterplay. They don't even get to play the game. He definintely needs some sort of ranged peel since he is a melee adc but his windwall needs to be reworked in some way
Teemo: If you're a melee champion who has to deal with his camouflage lasting indefinitely in lane, it is some of the most degenerate playstyle I've ever experienced. There's just no counter to it. Every 25s, he just goes invis, blinds you, shts on you for 3 seconds, then dashes and runs away. This is if you're melee because you can't hide under tower and cs.
Lux: Undo her rework. Braindead as all hell. Too effective for how braindead she is, it's mindblowing. But her skin sells right
Kayn: His damage. It doesn't even matter what form you choose anymore. Well not that it did since his red form got buffed like 8 months ago
Evelynn: In soloQ, where you get punished for your team's mistakes, if you ever had to deal with a fed evelynn while you're playing adc....i think i would rather ff then have to put up with it. Especially when she reaches the point where she doesn't even need charm to kill you. Oh right, and if she takes electrocute she can do it lvl5 so she doesn't even need to be fed.
Yi: Draft diff. SoloQ. No CC = Depression. Like sometimes you first pick/second pick and then your team screws you over in champ select by not picking any CC even though the jungler blindpicks master yi. Like what do you do? Also has some really cheesy and cringe strats where the enemies can just turbo buff him with lulu/yuumi/shen and it is just SO turbo cringe to play against if your team has no HARD CC. Soft CC doesn't work (slows) . It must be exlcusively on-demand fast stuns, roots, taunts, etc. Not something like urgot's E beause it's too slow.
Ziggs: It's mostly about the laning experience for his opponents. Most uninteractive and degenerate playstyle I've experienced. You just sit 10 miles back, avoid any interaction, and lob bombs at the enemy. The only saving grace is that he is designed to be really punishable in-game by having a really low early mana pool so you can zone him away from minions. Oh and it you play any assassins you can give him ptsd. I know he's an artillery mage but it's just how low his interaction is in his intended gameplay design that really gets me...
Syndra: Same thing it's the laning experience for her opponents. Don't get me wrong, she has some really bad matchups. But, I'm talking if you play a short ranged champion, it's Ziggs 2.0 but worse. Except now you can't hide behind minions because her Q is a point and click, baiting it is almost pointless since you'll have to deal with it AGAIN in another 7s, she has a non-punishable mana pool so it doesn't matter if she spams every ability, which she does, and spams QE on cooldown to poke then stun you for free with no counterplay, and for all that she scales into an oppressive late game champion for free. Like, for how safe her laning is she doesn't get punished like Asol or Vlad AT ALL. Even if she misses, she doesn't get punished because she's 10yards back. If she misses her orb on E, the knockback is far and long enough that she can walk away perfectly fine. And if both hits, she ults you, procs electrocute, and kills you for free. The worst part is that with electrocute her ult damage early is actually significant enough that even you play any assassin you can't run at her and kill her for free unless you are at full health, which you will never be if you lane against her. Like, I think at least ziggs is fine since the counterplay is at worst you hide behind minions and stay even, but with syndra most of her abilties are point and click so if that specific case what do you do?
Zoe: Degenerate playstyle. She's actually decently hard to play given how easy she gets one shot by everyone in this meta but it's the fact she can 100-0 you from 2 screens away on cooldown. Maybe I just hate artillery mages.
Jayce: This might a wildrift damage problem thing and nothing to do with his kit, but his damage....just everything about his damage is wrong. The fact that he can unironically one shot you at level5 with just boots, has a gap closer and a disengage, and that he is allowed to spam his stupid AOE shockblast (so he doesn't even need to aim) that deals 100000damage on cooldown is just not right... He's basically a one-shot melee assassin but also gets to play ranged and spam his 10000million damage shockblock for free. Oh right, but he has a negative winrate because new players find him too difficult so they keep buffing him...
Samira: It's wildrush reset on takedown. You know how everyone hates katarina? Well her ult is a katarina ult that is MOVING. Meaning that you can be punished for your teammates mistakes which were not even your fault because she can now dash towards you. Imagine your frontliner just wanders in by himself, dies, and suddenly now samira flash ults into your face and wipes your team for your dumb teammate's mistake. She's really punishable into CC but drafting is something that no one does in soloQ. and if you just happen to play into a game where your team has no CC on boy does it feel so bad...
Tristanna: Too safe, scales for free. You know how people consider xayah an amazing soloQ champion because of her self peel? Yeah, tristanna ult may not be as good but he actually has 2. So unless you actually one shot him he's fine. And he scales even harder.
Pyke: The idea of a carry support is just fundementally wrong. Supports are not meant to carry because they are gold starved. So if you design a support to carry you better bet his kit is overloaded as all hell. And for pyke that's mainly that his ult resets. I hate reset champions. Just the threat that one ult can execute the entire enemy team below a certain threshold and MORE than DOUBLE the gold value is just not right.
Soraka: Undo her rework. Braindead healing bot.
Sona: I don't like her ult rework. It's just no fun to play against in teamfights because her ult has no counterplay. It's an on-demand AOE stun that remains in a zone for 3.5s. It's like TF's stun card but for everyone. It's like naut's ult but except instead of a delay it's instant. Instead of targetting just a single person it's an entire massive zone that basically forces you to face check it because it's so god damn big it ACTUALLY takes more time to walk around it than to get stunned for 1s. Your team could play around avoiding a teamwide AOE stun, but SOMEONE still has facecheck sona eventually to get her to use her ult. And when that happens there is NO counterplay to whoever's on the frontline (or whatever class they are most times not being an actual tank) getting separated from his entire team for 3.5s. So as long as you have a numbers advantage when you cast ult (which you will because it will separate the entire team) it might as well be a on-demand death sentence.
Yuumi: Delete this champion. Or here's a suggestion from vars that I agree with: Make her cost an inventory slot on her allies when attached, and nerf her hp into oblivion because she should NOT be allowed to be an actual champion for negating what every single other champion in the game has to deal with: POSITIONING To any yuumi mains, I apologize for what I'm about to say. Like, if you want to make a braindead champion that is lowkey meant for gfs to pickup to play with their bfs, fine, I have no problem with that. But don't make the champion as OP and effective as it is for how brainless you need to be to play her. She should be at A tier, max. Not S/Broken for I don't even know how many updates straight. The fact that like 2 of the top15 last season were yuumi only mains that were clearly riding off duoQ with their adc who probably actually sweated to get to challenger really bugs me.

She's really punishable into CC but drafting is something that no one does in soloQ. and if you just happen to play into a game where your team has no CC on boy does it feel so bad...
Tristanna: Too safe, scales for free. You know how people consider xayah an amazing soloQ champion because of her self peel? Yeah, tristanna ult may not be as good but he actually has 2. So unless you actually one shot him he's fine. And he scales even harder.
Pyke: The idea of a carry support is just fundementally wrong. Supports are not meant to carry because they are gold starved. So if you design a support to carry you better bet his kit is overloaded as all hell. And for pyke that's mainly that his ult resets. I hate reset champions. Just the threat that one ult can execute the entire enemy team below a certain threshold and MORE than DOUBLE the gold value is just not right.
Soraka: Undo her rework. Braindead healing bot.
Sona: I don't like her ult rework. It's just no fun to play against in teamfights because her ult has no counterplay. It's an on-demand AOE stun that remains in a zone for 3.5s. It's like TF's stun card but for everyone. It's like naut's ult but except instead of a delay it's instant. Instead of targetting just a single person it's an entire massive zone that basically forces you to face check it because it's so god damn big it ACTUALLY takes more time to walk around it than to get stunned for 1s. Your team could play around avoiding a teamwide AOE stun, but SOMEONE still has facecheck sona eventually to get her to use her ult. And when that happens there is NO counterplay to whoever's on the frontline (or whatever class they are most times not being an actual tank) getting separated from his entire team for 3.5s. So as long as you have a numbers advantage when you cast ult (which you will because it will separate the entire team) it might as well be a on-demand death sentence.
Yuumi: Delete this champion. Or here's a suggestion from vars that I agree with: Make her cost an inventory slot on her allies when attached, and nerf her hp into oblivion because she should NOT be allowed to be an actual champion for negating what every single other champion in the game has to deal with: POSITIONING To any yuumi mains, I apologize for what I'm about to say. Like, if you want to make a braindead champion that is lowkey meant for gfs to pickup to play with their bfs, fine, I have no problem with that. But don't make the champion as OP and effective as it is for how brainless you need to be to play her. She should be at A tier, max. Not S/Broken for I don't even know how many updates straight. The fact that like 2 of the top15 last season were yuumi only mains that were clearly riding off duoQ with their adc who probably actually sweated to get to challenger really bugs me.

2024.05.19 21:41 clydelogan Through the Looking Glass: Taylor and Mirrors
 | Let me just start out by saying I haven’t read Through the Looking Glass by Louis Carroll in about 10 years and I’ve only read it 3 times (HS AP English Lit, a Lit class in college, and after 1989). I’m by no means as versed in Louis Carroll or Alice’s Adventures as others in this sub. submitted by clydelogan to GaylorSwift [link] [comments] I’ve talked about numerology 8 [here](https://www.reddit.com/GaylorSwift/s/PQLFND29FR) and how it connects to “Karma”. It’s also been 8 years since when we would have gotten the lost “Karma” album. To briefly recap my other post, Taylor had mentioned before she’s into numerology. In numerology, the number 8 is associated with karma because 8 is ruled by Saturn (love you to the moon and to Saturn) who is the Lord of Karma. Now let’s get into Through the Looking Glass. Taylor Nation has been hinting at 2016 quite a bit lately. Most notably drawing attention to Taylor in this outfit at Stockholm N2 which is the reversed version of her 2016 Grammy’s outfit. In TTLG, Alice enters through the looking glass and finds a mirror world where everything is reversed. 2016 Grammys ; Eras Tour Stockholm May 18, 2024 Taking it back to 2023, we see the Lover House from the Lover music video as a background visual when she performs Lover. I will side track here to say Taylor released the Lover music video on August 22, 2019 (happy birthday to me ). The same day the music video released, she announced she is re-recording the first 6 albums because of the Masters Heist. The house we see during the Eras Tour visual is slightly different than the music video, notably, we see Taylor leaving the Lover House in her yellow closeting dress through a mirror in the Lover room. Eras Tour Lover House Visual with Taylor going through the Mirror in the Lover room while wearing a yellow dress I personally think this visual has many layers to it which I’m just going to lay out here:
TTLG Chessboard by me In Through the Looking Glass, the book starts out with Alice playing with a white kitten and a black kitten. She notices a mirror and when she touches the mirror, she realizes she can go through it, which takes her into the mirror world version of her house where everything is reversed. Two recent examples of Taylor using mirror imagery. In Anti Hero where she’s looking at the Evil!TayloTaylor Swift ™️ in the mirror; On the cover of the WAOLOM Phone Memo touching the looking glass/mirror She discovers a book of poetry called the Jabberwocky that is written in reverse that you need to hold up to a mirror to be able to read it. (Hello, Tortured Poets Department. There have been posts in the sub on listening to TTPD in reverse as well as the songs from TTPD mirroring other songs). Alice leaves behind her home and enters a garden where she meets the Red Queen who tells her she can become a queen if she can make it across the countryside to the 8th rank/row that is laid out like a chessboard. So this is where I’ve started out with the image above. I believe we are resetting the chessboard to 2016. The Red Queen places Alice on the second row as a White Queen pawn, thus combining Alice’s need to cover two of the rows (or for Taylor, two years combining Reputation and Karma/Lost Album into one double album). Alice starts off this quest/journey by getting on a train that skips over the third row (2018) and goes right into the fourth row which is a forest where she meets a Looking Glass Gnat that teaches her about Looking Glass insects (2019, Lover, butterfly mural, butterfly pajamas in Lover MV). She goes through the “woods where things have no names” and forgets her own name and identity. She’s helped by a fawn who also forgets its identity, but when they get to the other side it remembers and leaves her (Masters Heist, *I jump from the train, I ride off alone*, the muse that she breaks up with during the Lover era (?) ) Taylor Alice comes across Tweetle Dee (Scott Brushetta) and Tweetle Dumb (Pooper Scooter) who try to provoke her (their responses to her announcement of re-recording her albums that it wasn’t going to work, etc) and point her direction to the sleeping Red King and telling her she’s a figment of his imagination (my interpretation is pointing at her conservative/homophobic fans and saying they’ll never support an out and queer Taylor or purchase her re-records). But they Tweedles are scared off by a large crow (Taylor’s aesthetic turning black and the support of other people in the industry and her fans to re-record her music). Alice meets with the White Queen as she gets ready to move into the 5th rank, but as they cross the brook, the Queen is turned into a sheep and Alice has to paddle the boat across on her own (2020, Covid happens, Loverfest is cancelled, Taylor creates Folklore) and struggles with it (Cardigan MV) https://preview.redd.it/6cvz3p4fqf1d1.jpg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=28cf5e4b93c77a2d2f4f5c4512a501bd5748b7b7 Alice then crosses into the 6th rank/row by crossing another brook (end of 2020-2021, Evermore, Willow MV) https://i.redd.it/u70wd6amqf1d1.gif Where she meets Humpty Dumpty who gives his own interpretation of Jabberwocky before he falls and all the (White) kings horses & all the (White) kings men try to put him together again. Taylor releases Fearless TV (White Horse) and Red TV in 2021. Which leads to the 7th Rank/Row where Alice crosses a brook into a forest (Lavender Haze MV) and is almost captured by a Red Knight but is saved by the White Knight (1950s shit). https://preview.redd.it/emjf9evqqf1d1.jpg?width=1198&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da2bbc9c45a4e289cad0502d778ce01b7e5501ca The Knight sings her a poem called Ways and Means to the tune of My Heart and Lute (Thomas Moore). Before she leaves him to cross the brook into the 8th rank/row https://preview.redd.it/c4qqc0vuqf1d1.jpg?width=1198&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe67ed0386af1046510638cf34cec9b5c30bbba8 Where she automatically becomes a Queen (2023, Eras Tour, biggest year of her career, many media outlets calling her the 2023 Queen of Pop music and saying it was the year of Taylor) The story ends with the Red Queen and White Queen showing up and inviting themselves to a party that Alice would be hosting without her knowledge that turns into chaos and Alice shaking the Red Queen who she blamed for the chaos. She then wakes up holding the black kitten (Red Queen) and white kitten (White Queen). Which takes us into 2024 where we’ve crossed the chessboard and Taylor has given us a black and white album, The Tortured Poets Department which has heavy Red Era/Red Muse theming. TTLG Chessboard with addition of the rebuilding of the Lover House by re-recordings But there’s another album with Black and White imagery in Taylor’s discography which still has to be released from the vault: Reputation (the newspaper print album cover) but this time, she’s also bringing 2016 back with her in the form of the Lost Album/Karma, which means the damage that was already existing in the Lover House will be repaired by that album coming into existence. We already knew Taylor was rebuilding the Lover house from the tour visuals and that the house was set up differently than the original one. Burning Down the Lover House to rebuild it, but it's not complete...yet The Lover House she sets on fire in 1989 (burning it down because the “Rep Vault is fire” aka the Lost Album/Karma) will be rebuilt with 13 rooms. Those three large rooms in the center I believe will end up turning into two rooms each, making each room equal with her 13th album, the one where she is OUT as the attic/penthouse, completing the Lover house the way she intended it. *This* is Taylor’s Version. I hope you all enjoy, I actually dug out my laptop to make this which just goes to show how much I felt the need to post lmao bc I haven't used my laptop in over 2 years. |
2024.05.19 20:38 Just_Perception_7965 WITNESS KEITH ZLOMSOWITCH AUDIO RECORDED by Hollywood Fixers for OJ Simpson - 1995 AUDIO TAPE QUESTIONS
INCONSISTENCIES IN AUDIO TAPES BY HOLLYWOOD FIXERS FOR OJ SIMPSON?
According to Article:
Simpson approached him and Brown Simpson as they dined with friends at Mezzaluna*, adopted a menacing posture, and stated, "I'm O. J. Simpson and she's still my wife."* Simpson was allegedly also at a restaurant called Tryst the same night that Zlomsowitch and Brown Simpson went on their second date there.
Allegedly according to AUDIO TAPE: ZLOMSOWITCH REVEALS:
~Actor, David Keith caught in cross fire of OJ’s unbridled rage~
***Zlomsowitch didn’t tell grand jury that upon entering the Tryst Restaurant, OJ first walked over to actor David Keith's table to say hello. The ‘Officer and a Gentleman’ star invited OJ to join he and his guests but OJ only grabbed a chair from David's table, dragged it a few feet to Zlomsowitch and Nicole’s table, sat down, got in their faces, and proceeded to terrorize them.
*Everywhere Nicole went, OJ new about it because he had spies everywhere.
*Nicole was responsible for convincing Zlomsowitch to hire her long time friend Ron Hardy to manage the Monkey Bar*
Likely part of this sentence is false, a person could be in-between: OJ used her to taunt Zlomsowitch, making harassing and menacing phone calls.
Another: (somebody) "aided and abetted to Nicole's murder. The more (gender) told OJ where Nicole was being romanced and who was romancing her, the more (gender) helped fuel his jealous rage."
What's interesting to me, other than including notes that likely is to cause frictions and confusions, is there are Two Different Restaurant Names (Mezzaluna and Tryst).
There's also an additional potential witness in the alleged audio. *Nothing in search shows related to David Keith and OJ Simpson?
The Restaurant was a place that was of the same day of the murders. Zlomsowich further directed the restaurant Mezzaluna.
Alleged Claim in article: Simpson was angry about a photo he found in Brown Simpson's home of her and Zlomsowitch together, as well as a story about the couple in the National Enquirer. (National Enquirer is American Media Inc that uses 'investigators'/Hollywood Fixers for drafts)
