This is a community that discusses militarism and warfare. Since the US is the world's leader in wars, military spending, arms sales and militarism, we specifically focus on American policies and actions that promote what the Pentagon calls the "long war" -- the unending Global War on Terror (GWOT). We include articles that show the politics behind the Endless War, the spending involved and the toll in human suffering and lives.

2024.05.21 13:57 Mangarist It is Yet Peaceful

These halls are never singular but intertwined
In his domain it is he who depends
Time flies fast as he remains to stand,
While time flies fast as he roam his abode.
With one hand in his coat, deep within is a barren tundra
With the moon, clear skies, and the luminous aurora
It's a realm of peace, yet it's cold and blue.
He wonders where the firewoods are for fuel.
He asks why the sun is missing as it never arouses
But his realm has a tranquil it could offer. The shimmering stars and clear skies gather
His sighed deeply in tranquility, with the ground froze
He walked back to the halls, where it's warmer
Along the way is his foundation of such a strong banner
He gazed upon a certain hall, dark and empty
Frightened, he went back to his very realm of tranquility

2024.05.21 13:57 maximusaemilius A cozy day with a tall chitin-armored alien girlfriend.

She got up in the dark, with only the dim ambience of soft blue lighting to accompany her. She stretched all four arms, her two legs, and rolled her neck. It struck her as mildly interesting in that moment, how something so small could connect them to humans, The thought was fleeting as she took another step forward to kneel down on the floor. There, in a little alcove in the wall, she had set a volcanic rock from Anin, dried moss, and other paraphernalia from her home world. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath resting her hands together.
Praise and respect to the spirits of Anin. Praise the fathers and mothers of war gone to their rest below the moss and the earth. Praise their spirits that watch from the sky and peer through the ether down upon us.
She continued the slow mantra in the style of Prayer learned from Naktan and pulled her concentration to her core, ignoring anything and everything around her. A deep state of meditation overtook her. She would never have done this if she thought there were any chance that she was in danger, but below she knew Earth glowed like a sphere before their orbiting ship. There was no worry of invasion.
She thought she heard something at one point, but chose to ignore it as she continued her mantra.
Eventually, and after an unknown amount of minutes, she stood and turned slowly to find-
She stopped, and crossed her arms over her chest.
"What are you doing?”
Adam burrowed his way further down into her blankets, nuzzling his head up against her pillow,
"So warm, and comfy!"
She tried not to smile,
"You dumbass."
He pulled the blankets tighter around himself,
"You know, I did come here to talk to you, but now I actually am really comfortable, so come back in two hours."
"I- This is MY home!"
He closed his eyes and pretended to snore loudly.
She rolled her eyes as she watched him theatrically pretend to sleep. She looked around mildly for a moment, before picking up another pillow and glancing at the door. She casually walked over, dropped the pillow on his head and then held it down as if she intended to smother him.
”Die human scum!”
That got him up and moving.
Before long the two of them were grappling for the upper hand, him trying to put her in a choke hold, and her using her lower arms to pinch him.
He yelped,
"Ouch! Pinching is illegal!”
"Sissy."
He clamped his legs around her lower arms, pinning them in place.
She struggled for a minute and then went limp.
She could feel his smug smile,
"I win, I beat the saint of Anin. Everyone bow at my feet."
"You say that, but if this were a real fight, since you’re a human male, you're the one with a self-destruct button."
"Self-destruct button...?"
"Meaning if this were a real fight, I would have punched you in the balls."
"Yaoooutch… Oh god… Please don't."
Finally, he let her go, leaving the two of them to lay on her bed, sheets scattered on the floor around them, and her pillows in disarray. Adam put his hands behind his head and sighed.
She glanced over at him,
"I don't suppose you came to just hang out. Here on Admiral-ly business?"
He groaned, pulling one of her pillows over his face,
"Please smother me for real this time."
She leaned up on one of her elbows,
"Why?"
"I don't wanna be an adult anymore!"
She tilted her head to the side, watching in amusement as he attempted to throw a childlike tantrum, but only really had the energy to kick his feet once,
"It's boring and lame and they won’t let me wear heelies to important meetings... also children don't have to pay taxes."
She laughed, pulling the pillow from his face,
"Adam you are many things, but 'adult' is not one of them."
He grinned slightly,
"True enough."
He sighed again and rested his head back against the pillows,
"I just want to get back to what we are supposed to be doing, exploring the universe and making cool alien friends."
He threw up his hands in frustration,
"But suddenly I find myself embroiled in stupid annoying politics that I don't understand, being used by people who are, let’s face it, WAY smarter than me, constantly finding myself getting manipulated."
She huffed,
"They aren't smarter than you Adam, they're just manipulative, and you aren't."
He sighed,
"Fair enough."
Then he looked at her, bright green eyes reflecting the soft ambient blue light,
"I just, I miss this, I miss us, I miss hanging out and doing stupid shit, and all of the things I could do when I wasn't so important and this operation was smaller."
She smiled rather sadly reaching one hand over for his, lacing the four of her fingers through the five of his,
"Well someone has to do the hard things, who better than you?”
He glanced over at her, raising an eyebrow,
"Or you, miss saint?”
She rolled her eyes again,
"Can't seem to get you off of that. I'm still the same person I used to be."
"But with power."
She elbowed him gently and he grinned,
"But really, I am proud and impressed and... Let's be honest super super smug that 'I' know you personally."
"I know, I am pretty terrific."
The two of them laughed for a minute before settling down again. He glanced over to her little shrine on the wall,
"What were you doing just then?"
She looked up at the ceiling, following the lines of metal and rivets with her eyes,
"Praying to the spirits of Anin."
Embarrassed, he shifted,
"I didn't know you were... Well I didn't think you were all that religious?"
She shrugged,
"Don't feel bad, it's sort of a new thing. Back before all this, it was sort of just stories to me. Like I believed it because that was what everyone believed, but I didn't really accept it, or feel it the way I do now. After everything with my mother, it was hard to feel connected to something I felt I wasn't a part of... But then after visiting my mother, after becoming a saint for a religion I never really followed... Well, it started to make more sense. It feels real now in a way that it never did."
She turned to look at him, finding him watching her, the UV blue stripes in his skin glowing blue.
"I believe in the spirits of Anin more than I ever have."
He smiled at her and squeezed her hand,
"I'm glad to hear it."
They lapsed into silence for a long moment, staring up at the ceiling before, inevitably he broke it,
"So this makes you like, space Moses right?”
She frowned and turned to look at him,
"What is a “Moses”?"
He grinned,
"A guy from one of the Earth Religions. You know, guy follows god's directions to lead his people away from slavery, climbs a mountain, receives the word of god, comes down to give it to the people, that sort of thing."
Sunny tilted her head slightly to the side,
"Are you religious?"
He paused, frowning,
"I... well I... don't really know. My family has been some flavor of Christian for a long time."
"Christian?"
"Uh yeah, the general idea is that there is one all-powerful deity who created everything. He has rules and laws that you are supposed to follow, the general tenants of this specific religion mostly boil down to: love everyone and don't be a dick, which humans are notoriously bad at. You sin you go to hell, a very bad place after you die, and if you are a good person you go to heaven. Problem is everyone is a sinner and breaks the rules, so really no one was going to get into heaven."
"That sounds bleak..."
"Well, that's where the other stuff comes in. Basically, this all-powerful deity sent down his son in human form to live a perfect life, so when he was martyred he took on the sins of all of humanity and paid for them in the greatest act of mercy to open the gate for the rest of us into heaven."
Sunny shifted as he tilted to the side to lay in the crook of her arms,
"Of course that is just one religion among tons on earth, we aren't really as cohesive in our beliefs as Drev are... As for me... I'm not really sure."
She tilted her head to the side, cheek resting against his hair,
"After seeing space, I become more and more convinced of some... Thing that created everything, but beyond that it's sort of a tossup."
She ran one hand through his hair, coarse but still soft somehow.
"You know my name comes from that religion?”
She turned her head to look at him,
"Oh, really?”
"Adam was the first man."
"What do you mean!?”
Adam shrugged,
"He was supposedly the first man that god created, from the dust of the earth... I think?"
She gave him a sidelong glance,
"Look, and you get to be the first idiot in space."
He snorted and poked her in the ribs.
"There were PLENTY of idiots in space before me, believe you me."
"Mmm I don't know, you are pretty dumb."
He laughed, grabbing a pillow and hitting her with it. She rolled over so she was lying on top of him and then went limp.
He struggled,
"Get your big ass off me."
"Oh no, I have been attacked by a sudden acute case of the “my spine doesn't work anymore”-disease."
"If you don't move, you'll suddenly find yourself with a case of “fist in your face”-disease."
She laughed and rolled off him, making sure the hard parts of her carapace were sticking down for maximum discomfort.
He grunted.
They returned to lying down next to each other in the half darkness. Sunny reached over and turned on some quiet music in the background as the two of them sat and talked, and laughed.
"I can't wait to get back to deep space."
He closed his eyes and hummed softly at the thought,
"Just the crew and the darkness and nothing ahead of us but an endless frontier."
Surprisingly, she found the thought to be more than a little comforting, and closed her eyes thinking about the vast reaches of blackness and the endless spinning galaxies.
"And while we are out, we can drop Conn into a pulsar."
He snorted,
“Why? Well first of for scientific reasons! If a marshmallow causes a nuclear blast, I wonder what dropping Conn would do… but at least he’d be dead.”
"That billowy bastard would survive and you know it."
She huffed,
"Still though, if I have to hear one more smug lecture how he has a child with you, I'm gonna wring his scrawny neck."
He grinned teeth flashing blue in the light,
"Is someone... Jealous?"
Sunny laughed, almost tipping him off the bed and onto the floor with her mirth,
"Yes Adam, I am totally jealous, really I am, ‘kay?. I mean who wouldn't want to have a child with YOU, big dumb, dork. Really the perfect place to put my superior genes."
"Superior genes, says someone who can't reach the top shelf."
She kicked him, foot clanging off his prosthetic,
"I am a foot taller than you."
He placed his hand next to his ear,
"What was that, I can't hear you over how short you are."
Sunny shook her head,
"At least I have binocular vision and both my knees."
"So we are gonna ignore that that binocular vision is due to a prosthetic now after the whole “your mom” incident? And also, veeery important: weird neck nostrils, don't forget about those!"
"Oh yes, so I can’t house them on my face like you and your bigass nose."
"Low blow, low blow."
"There are... Lower things... I could make fun of."
He snorted,
"Can't make fun of it if you've never seen it. You on the other hand, walking around in the nude..."
"You're welcome. Who wouldn't love…"
She gestured to herself,
"This."
"Mmm yeah... chitin, very sexy."
"I am a gift to the universe, and should be appreciated by everyone."
He brushed a hand through his hair,
"Well I find that real gifts are gift wrapped, so jot that down."
"Oh yeah, like a prank gift when you put something lame in a box for something cool."
He frowned at her,
"You wound me. My feelings are so very very hurt. I might even cry."
"I drink human tears."
"That… that's really gross.'
She laughed and then they lapsed into silence. She could hear him breathing quietly next to her in the darkness, his chest rising and falling under the ambient blue light. She looked across the room to where her saint armor was hanging in its climate-controlled case illuminated to a pearly sheen.
"Adam?"
"Yeah?”
"You know I'm just kidding about calling you dumb right?"
"Yeah I know."
"I'm proud of what you've been doing."
Adam turned to look at her rather incredulous,
"Me, of what? I haven't been doing shit."
"So, we are just going to ignore you overthrowing a maniacal politician while simultaneously piloting a 2,000 year old spacecraft?"
"That was more Conn and Eris than it was me."
"It was your idea."
"Let’s not forget Admiral Kelly."
Sunny pulled him closer,
"I am sorry, I will not be accepting anything other than you acknowledging that you did a good job."
"Screw you!”
"You'd like that wouldn't you?”
He sighed,
"You've been talking to Ramirez WAY too much."
She was only slightly smug as she rested her head back against the pillow,
"I really should get up and train..."
"We should yeah..."
Neither of them moved.
"Alternatively, we could just... Lay here... All day and do... nothing."
She looked up at the ceiling for a long moment and pretended to be in deep contemplation before…
"Well it's official, you have convinced me. You and your silver tongue."
"I am a master negotiator."
He shifted position putting one arm behind his head,
"Think about it, by this time tomorrow we will be back to space exploring and doing what we should have been doing all along. I can't wait."
"That makes two of us."

2024.05.21 13:55 Itchy-Assumption3803 Social Services of the Doomed

#verified
Social Services of the Doomed is Verified!![](https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/1443850/header.jpg?t=1680669952)
They have magic and fangs. You have red tape! In this epic conflict between fantasy and bureaucracy, will you save your city, or sell your soul?
Social Services of the Doomed is a 400,000-word interactive urban fantasy novel by Fade Manley. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
As an employee of the Department of Supernatural Social Services, it’s your job to mediate when a dispute breaks out between vampires and werewolves. Which is pretty often, these days. Tensions are rising in your city: not all supernatural citizens think that they have to abide by the law. Flocks of harpies are crowing prophecies of doom; wizards are slinging fireballs; trolls aren’t just having peaceful chats about tunneling technology anymore; there are demons in the werewolf dive bar; and something is up with the ley lines. Sometimes it feels like you’re the only one standing between the supernatural factions and a city in flames.
On the other hand, some factions are willing to cut a deal on the side, so if you really want the city to be in flames - and if you feel like that civil-servant paycheck isn’t stretching as far as you’d like - you could make that happen. Every faction knows that you could be useful to them.
How will you handle it? Will you sneak, fight, negotiate, confuse, or just whip out some obscure county regulations? There’s always more paperwork to be done, and if you fall too far behind, your boss might call you in for a chat about your monthly metrics. (Also, your boss might be a constellation. Don’t ask.)
  • Make your way through the city as a demon, troll, wizard, or completely mundane human.
  • Play as male, female, or non-binary; gay, straight, bi, or asexual.
  • Advance your career, sink your rival's career, or try to play nice with all your coworkers at once.
  • Romance a troll, a demon, a werewolf, a vampire, or your office rival. (Who’s a snake person.)
  • Chase demons out of the cubicle farm before everyone gets back from lunch.
  • Thwart the dastardly plans of Hell’s minions, or sell your soul to them…or just flirt with a cute demon.

Demons and trolls, vampires and werewolves, wizards and harpies... and you're standing in the middle with the most fearsome thing of all: paperwork.

FYI, this is a story COLLECTION. Lots of standalones technically. So, you can basically start to read at any chapter, no pre-read of the other chapters needed technically (other than maybe getting better descriptions of characters than: Adam Vir=human, Krill=antlike alien, Sunny=tall alien, Conn=telepathic alien). The numbers are (mostly) only for organization of posts and continuity.
OC Written by Charlie Stastarrfallknightrise,
Typed up and then posted here by me.
Proofreading and language check for some chapters by u/Finbar9800 u/BakeGullible9975 u/Didnotseemecomein and u/medium_jock

Sunny tilted her head slightly to the side,
"Are you religious?"
He paused, frowning,
"I... well I... don't really know. My family has been some flavor of Christian for a long time."
"Christian?"
"Uh yeah, the general idea is that there is one all-powerful deity who created everything. He has rules and laws that you are supposed to follow, the general tenants of this specific religion mostly boil down to: love everyone and don't be a dick, which humans are notoriously bad at. You sin you go to hell, a very bad place after you die, and if you are a good person you go to heaven. Problem is everyone is a sinner and breaks the rules, so really no one was going to get into heaven."
"That sounds bleak..."
"Well, that's where the other stuff comes in. Basically, this all-powerful deity sent down his son in human form to live a perfect life, so when he was martyred he took on the sins of all of humanity and paid for them in the greatest act of mercy to open the gate for the rest of us into heaven."
Sunny shifted as he tilted to the side to lay in the crook of her arms,
"Of course that is just one religion among tons on earth, we aren't really as cohesive in our beliefs as Drev are... As for me... I'm not really sure."
She tilted her head to the side, cheek resting against his hair,
"After seeing space, I become more and more convinced of some... Thing that created everything, but beyond that it's sort of a tossup."
She ran one hand through his hair, coarse but still soft somehow.
"You know my name comes from that religion?”
She turned her head to look at him,
"Oh, really?”
"Adam was the first man."
"What do you mean!?”
Adam shrugged,
"He was supposedly the first man that god created, from the dust of the earth... I think?"
She gave him a sidelong glance,
"Look, and you get to be the first idiot in space."
He snorted and poked her in the ribs.
"There were PLENTY of idiots in space before me, believe you me."
"Mmm I don't know, you are pretty dumb."
He laughed, grabbing a pillow and hitting her with it. She rolled over so she was lying on top of him and then went limp.
He struggled,
"Get your big ass off me."
"Oh no, I have been attacked by a sudden acute case of the “my spine doesn't work anymore”-disease."
"If you don't move, you'll suddenly find yourself with a case of “fist in your face”-disease."
She laughed and rolled off him, making sure the hard parts of her carapace were sticking down for maximum discomfort.
He grunted.
They returned to lying down next to each other in the half darkness. Sunny reached over and turned on some quiet music in the background as the two of them sat and talked, and laughed.
"I can't wait to get back to deep space."
He closed his eyes and hummed softly at the thought,
"Just the crew and the darkness and nothing ahead of us but an endless frontier."
Surprisingly, she found the thought to be more than a little comforting, and closed her eyes thinking about the vast reaches of blackness and the endless spinning galaxies.
"And while we are out, we can drop Conn into a pulsar."
He snorted,
“Why? Well first of for scientific reasons! If a marshmallow causes a nuclear blast, I wonder what dropping Conn would do… but at least he’d be dead.”
"That billowy bastard would survive and you know it."
She huffed,
"Still though, if I have to hear one more smug lecture how he has a child with you, I'm gonna wring his scrawny neck."
He grinned teeth flashing blue in the light,
"Is someone... Jealous?"
Sunny laughed, almost tipping him off the bed and onto the floor with her mirth,
"Yes Adam, I am totally jealous, really I am, ‘kay?. I mean who wouldn't want to have a child with YOU, big dumb, dork. Really the perfect place to put my superior genes."
"Superior genes, says someone who can't reach the top shelf."
She kicked him, foot clanging off his prosthetic,
"I am a foot taller than you."
He placed his hand next to his ear,
"What was that, I can't hear you over how short you are."
Sunny shook her head,
"At least I have binocular vision and both my knees."
"So we are gonna ignore that that binocular vision is due to a prosthetic now after the whole “your mom” incident? And also, veeery important: weird neck nostrils, don't forget about those!"
"Oh yes, so I can’t house them on my face like you and your bigass nose."
"Low blow, low blow."
"There are... Lower things... I could make fun of."
He snorted,
"Can't make fun of it if you've never seen it. You on the other hand, walking around in the nude..."
"You're welcome. Who wouldn't love…"
She gestured to herself,
"This."
"Mmm yeah... chitin, very sexy."
"I am a gift to the universe, and should be appreciated by everyone."
He brushed a hand through his hair,
"Well I find that real gifts are gift wrapped, so jot that down."
"Oh yeah, like a prank gift when you put something lame in a box for something cool."
He frowned at her,
"You wound me. My feelings are so very very hurt. I might even cry."
"I drink human tears."
"That… that's really gross.'
She laughed and then they lapsed into silence. She could hear him breathing quietly next to her in the darkness, his chest rising and falling under the ambient blue light. She looked across the room to where her saint armor was hanging in its climate-controlled case illuminated to a pearly sheen.
"Adam?"
"Yeah?”
"You know I'm just kidding about calling you dumb right?"
"Yeah I know."
"I'm proud of what you've been doing."
Adam turned to look at her rather incredulous,
"Me, of what? I haven't been doing shit."
"So, we are just going to ignore you overthrowing a maniacal politician while simultaneously piloting a 2,000 year old spacecraft?"
"That was more Conn and Eris than it was me."
"It was your idea."
"Let’s not forget Admiral Kelly."
Sunny pulled him closer,
"I am sorry, I will not be accepting anything other than you acknowledging that you did a good job."
"Screw you!”
"You'd like that wouldn't you?”
He sighed,
"You've been talking to Ramirez WAY too much."
She was only slightly smug as she rested her head back against the pillow,
"I really should get up and train..."
"We should yeah..."
Neither of them moved.
"Alternatively, we could just... Lay here... All day and do... nothing."
She looked up at the ceiling for a long moment and pretended to be in deep contemplation before…
"Well it's official, you have convinced me. You and your silver tongue."
"I am a master negotiator."
He shifted position putting one arm behind his head,
"Think about it, by this time tomorrow we will be back to space exploring and doing what we should have been doing all along. I can't wait."
"That makes two of us."

Intro post by me
OC-whole collection
Patreon of the author
Thanks for reading! As you saw in the title, this is a cross posted story written by starrfallknightrise and I'll just upload some of it here for you guys, if you are interested and want to read ahead, the original story-collection can be found on tumblr or wattpad to read for free. (link above this text under "OC:..." ) It is the Empyrean Iris story collection by starfallknightrise. Also, if you want to know more about the story collection i made an intro post about it, so feel free to check that out to see what other great characters to look forward to! (Link also above this text). I have no affiliations to the author; just thought I’d share some of the great stories you might enjoy a lot!
Obviously, I have Charlie’s permission to post this and for the people already knowing the stories, or starting to read them: If you follow the link and check out the story you will see some differences. I made some small (non-artistic) changes, mainly correcting writing mistakes, pronoun correction and some small additional info here and there of things which were not thought of/forgotten or even were added/changed in later stories (like the “USS->UNSC” prefix of Stabby, Chalar=/->Sunny etc). As well as some "biggemajor" changes in descriptions and info’s for the same stringency/continuity reason. That can be explained by the story collection being, well a story collection at the start with many standalone-stories just starring the same people, but later on it gets more to a stringent storyline with backstories and throwbacks. (For example Adam Vir has some HEAVY scars over his body, following his bones, which were not really talked about up till half the collection, where it says it covers his whole body and you find out via backflash that he had them the whole time and how he got them, they just weren't mentioned before. However, I would think a doctor would at least see these scars before that, especially since he gets analyzed, treated and goes shirtless/in T-shirts in some stories). So TLDR: Writing and some descriptions are slightly changed, with full OK from the author, since he himself did not bother to correct these things before.

2024.05.21 13:52 Upset_Replacement798 One of the many stories of Shadebeard.

Heyall. I have a pretty juicy story about a guy held back and is still in grade 8 as a 17 year old. To describe how he was, he smelled not exactly horrible, just funky. He was stringbean level thin and was still my height. (I'm 5'2 at 13 and he's 5'1 at his age.) You'll learn EXACTLY why he's pedo in a few stories. Moving on, let's introduce our characters who will be important in the future installments.
Chairwoman: My friend who recently moved schools. A tall girl. She likes Canada, Five Hargreeves. and being really loud when the friend group goes out.
The Receiving End(TRE): A short senior-high girl. Short hair and glasses. She likes volleyball. That's all I really know.
Me: Just a guy. The honor student who is an idiot anywhere out of school. I like boxing, minecraft, and biking around my neighborhood.
Insider: A pretty cool dude. We used to never get along because of him joking about being a nazi in a group chat. A slightly chubbier kid who is smarter than everyone else. We're cool now. He likes Roblox, walking around, and hamsters.
Karl: The stank, the shit, the pedgend, Karl. His name isn't really Karl but something close to it.
The First Offense: Shadescapade.
*Extremely Long Sigh* Here we go. This happened just a few weeks ago. One day, he came to us saying he had a crush on a senior high girl. The crush was TRE. He always kind of followed her around school. He would pop out from corner to corner. This is a very very small school. Like, everyone knows each other. And everyone can see each other too. I just saw this guy literally following her everywhere.
One day, he did something so cringeworthy I could die right now as we speak. One day as I was walking back from the computer room after class, I saw him with his shades on, wrapping his arm around her on a chair. She looked so uncomfortable. She probably was being subjected to the full brunt of his stench too. And then he just went back upstairs to the main G8 classroom like the entire grade didn't just catch him red-handed. We didn't say anything since he was special and we didn't wanna look like assholes.

2024.05.21 13:51 _avtrkyoshi Rant ng isang breadwinner na PAGOD NA PAGOD NA

I decided not to go home (probinsya) na muna dahil madaming taong tinitake advantage lang ang kabaitan ko. Dati kasi, okay pa eh. Mapayapa pa. Nakakatulog ako sa bahay namin, peacefully. Pero ngayon, magulo na. Kami ng mama ko ang inaabuso. Sad lang talaga na doon nagwowork si mama sa probinsya namin kaya sya ang tao sa bahay ngayon kasama ang sister ko (pero weekends lang nasa bahay ang kapatid ko kasi nag aaral din sya). Ako, sa city naman nagwowork, malayo sa probinsya, 5hrs travel, at nakatira ako sa isang apartment. Independently. Pag umuuwi naman ako sa probinsya, ang daming problemang sinasampal sakin. Wala akong problema sa mama at kapatid ko. Pero may mga kamag anak lang din talagang problematic! Hihingi pa ng pera (knowing na sila ang stressor ng mama ko ha, na abusive sa mama ko, na mga manipulative). Jusko! Tas pag hindi sila mapagbigyan sa gusto nila, sila pa ang galit. Makakarinig ka pa na nagbago kana daw etc etc. Akala siguro nila tumatae ako ng pera dito. Di nila alam halos araw araw akong pagod sa kakakayod, mental health ko sinasakripisyo ko, para lang kumita ng pera. Single daw ako kaya siguro ang yaman yaman ko na daw? So bakit daw ang damot ko? Jusko! Hindi nila alam, nihindi nga umabot ng 20k ang savings ko dahil sa mga bayarin! Tuition fee ng kapatid ko sagot ko. Other school expenses niya sagot ko din. Allowance at boarding house niya, sagot ko din! Allowance ng mama ko at maintenance na gamot niya, sagot ko din. Si mama, konti lang ang nakukuhang sahod kada buwan dahil nagloan siya para matapos na din namin yong pinapatayo naming bahay. Sa awa ng diyos natapos din 2yrs ago. Kaya walang kaso sakin pag humihingi si mama. Nagbibigay talaga ako ng kusa. Pero may ibang tao talagang kusang inaabuso ang kabaitan ng mama ko. Ginagamit nila si mama para may ma-benefit sila sakin. Pwe! 2024 na, hindi pa din sila nagbabago. Ang lalaki at lulusog nilang tao pero ayaw mag hanap ng trabaho. Sa mama ko pa talaga dumepende ang mga fersons. Kaya di din ako masisisi ni mama kung bakit ayaw na ayaw ko ng umuwi sa amin. Kasi stressful at toxic don. Mas ok nang si mama nalang ang pumupunta dito sa syudad. Minsan nga, sa sobrang abusive nila, nagsisinungaling na si mama sa harap ko para lang i-please sila?! Haynako.

2024.05.21 13:51 ninjaHattori_ What are you thoughts about smallcase ?

Im a stock market beginner. I've never traded or invested. Although, I know how the market works but I dont have aufficient knowledge to just dive into the market and trade / invest.
On the other hand, Ive done some research on smallcase. Im thinking about investing in the smallcase named "Dividend Aristocrats". I dont have much knowledge it seems okay.
Im not asking about your views on this particular smallcase, but the app and idea in general. Is it a good way to invest money ? Or is it some kind of behind the curtain scam that Im not able to figure out ?
Well if you have some knowledge about this particular smallcase I mentioned, please share you expert advice on it as well ? 👉👈

2024.05.21 13:46 AfriicanFreshPrince Bad dating experience

So after like 8months of working on myself, dropping my bad dating habits and building my self esteem I decided to finally get back to the dating market and found this girl on a social media platform we chatted for like 3 weeks then I asked her out on a date. I made sure to give it my best bought a nice suit, book a place at a fancy restaurant and was basically a gentleman, opened all her doors pulled out her seat cause this is the person I now want to be an I felt she deserved it. After that drove her back home and said bye to her. A few hours later my friend who happens to be her cousin calls and says she just couldn't stop laughing at the fact that I drive an old run down car. Of which yes I don't drive the best car but it ain't old and run down......that actually brought back my childhood insecurities of poor and always being looked down up on.
I think I'm done dating, lifes too short to do this thing were I forever have to fight for someones approval or in the name of having a relationship. My single stint was so fulfilling and peaceful. I think that's gonna be life for me

2024.05.21 13:46 WirelezMouse Day 1. Again.. and a few questions too.

So... I relapsed.. felt distraught. Gave me pleasure for about 5 seconds.. and I was back to feeling like crap..
So Im here again, day 1 starting now. I just had a few questions regarding my walk with God..
  1. Yesterday I had this really really really STRONG urge to reconcile with God.. Not just ask for forgiveness, but like REALLY go back and live that sinless life... You know? Like running back to Jesus, not looking at the storm, just focusing on Him.. I still have that strong desire (I can't' stress how strong it is).. Does that mean Im growing closer to God? Or does that mean Im going away from God?
  2. I can't discern the Voice of God.. I asked God to talk to my yesterday, and I read the bible.. No verse struck out, no voice from God at all.. I know that I have to stay persistent with God, but could this mean that I just can't hear God anymore because I hardened my heart with sin? And if so, I did pray for God to give me a heart of flesh, but I don't see any changes (again, I think I have to be persistent).. Could someone make sense of this?
  3. I am worried about marriage.. And I don't want to be.. Im in my late teens, I shouldn't be concerned or worried about this at all, I don't want to be troubled with issues I may or may not face in my later life.. Im too young for it and I have other more important things to focus on.. Is this normal? What should I do about this? I kind of don't want to be in any relationship except with God.. Im not that good looking so no girlfriend, and I don't want a girlfriend either. I don't want petty things like this to bother me.. So, if someone could guide me through this, it would be nice.
  4. What exactly is prayer? I just sit in front of a picture of Jesus I have in my house and I just vent out my feelings, thoughts, my emotions, what I think, what I feel, what I want God to do for me in my life.. Is this prayer? or is it that I have to be on my knees, clasping my hands, closing my eyes? Because I had doubts about maybe I was just talking to myself, and I was not talking to God.. So I want some guidance there too..
  5. How do I know that Im walking in the way of the LORD? I may be walking according to what seems right to me, but I how I know that I am walking in the direction that the LORD wants me to walk in? Is it just based on what I do right or wrong? I know that I must be able to produce fruits of the Holy Spirit if I am walking in His way.. And Im not seeing any big difference in my life right now, so I want to be sure to put my efforts in walking in the way of the LORD..
Thank you so much, for anyone who took the time to read and reply to my questions, I have doubts sometimes, but I try to not let it get to my head, and but sometimes, its too much, and I think we all need some guidance in some way to point us in the right direction.. Thats why Jesus gave us the Holy Spirt so that He can point us in the direction of goodness and holiness..
May God bless you, and may his perfect peace be with you. And thank you once again.

2024.05.21 13:45 RollinNowhere Is anything meant to happen, narratively, in this game?

I've played for 50 hours now. And I've spent my time slowly working up through the various ships, floating around in the rings mining and having a lovely chill time. I've enjoyed the simple gameplay loop and it's been nice just sinking some hours into ore collection to unwind.
But, well, nothing has happened. Or at least, not much.
The things that my crewmembers have requested are: time off to pursue a music career, but it doesn't seem that that leads to anything. They haven't resigned to go pro, it hasn't unlocked any new music, we haven't encountered any fans. Another couple of my crew want me to find people, there was one who was lost on a ship somewhere in space and another who just seems to have a dialogue option to ask about this person to everyone we meet. But the answer is always no. But nothing seems to be happening with them.
I'm frequently threatened by other ships for being in their territory, sometimes I use my crewmembers who knows them and nothing happens, other times I ignore them, and nothing happens, sometimes I respond aggressively, and nothing happens. Nothing ever happens. A couple of times I've just attacked someone to see if anything happens - they fight back for a second, then try to run away. If I let them escape nothing happens, if I chase them, destroy them, capture and sell their life pod... guess what? Nothing happens.
In my 50 hours here's what has happened other than mining and selling:
That last one gave me hope, but in the 10 hours since nothing else has happened and I have no leads to follow.
Just... what am I meant to be doing? I talk to most people I come across, none of it leads to anything. I've flown around deep into the rings and nothing changes.
I still like the game for it's relaxed mining gameplay, but it feels like there's meant to be other stuff going on. Stories and encounters. There's lots of warning about space combat. There's talk on here of people having "mining configurations" contrasted against other ship layouts to do other things... but what are these other things? I have found none of them.

1924 21
I found the huge 17" circumference head on a poorly made replacement body on ebay. Bought it, then had the luck to find an original body the correct size on facebook. Gave him some replacement hands and now he's complete! I named him Benjamin.

HELP! How do I train my budgies to roam around the house?
My budgies are quite tamed, I guess? They still runaway whenever I put my hand inside their cage but explores it if I stayed there for a while. They perch on my hand to peck at it but aren't comfortable being touched. We tried to coax them to get out of their cage but when they do, they freak out and fly around the room and they crash at walls. I really want to be able to play with them and have them perch on my shoulder. I want them to be comfortable with us (my boyfriend). Their name is Rooki (green) and Rori (albino)

2024.05.21 13:43 lost_soul_was_usedup Need a contract of separation

Hi, I've never done this before.
I just got out of a long relationship and it was quite abusive. I lied to myself everyday to make it seem like it was better to seem like I wasn't living in hell.
Now it's coming down to separating our stuff. We never got married but we were engaged.
I'm trying to find somewhere to get a contract that can be legally binding made. I don't have the few hundred it takes to typically make them and I'm not skilled enough to do it myself.
I want to specify our pets being divvy between us so there's no retaliation later and attempt at taking them out of maliciousness. We already decided who gets what pets but I already had a close call due to my ex's anger.
My ex also owes me some money and I am allowing a payment plan to be put in place. However, I don't want my ex try and bail on it last minute leaving me with the leftover debt.
And I have to include separation of bills
So I will be making my ex pay for health insurance and dental until my ex is able to get a different insurer or I have to remove my ex off of it.
Otherwise my ex plans to leave the state in a few months to " start anew" And I worry because my ex has been screaming that I'm abusive and manipulating a bunch of different stories. And generally my ex is easily convinced by the worst people which is why we always fought and he always became so horrible to me over the smallest things including not moving fast enough out the door the second when my ex was ready to walk out the door. So thanks to that kind of behavior they can literally just tell my ex to do something and that's what my ex will do including losing his mind like he's already done.
My ex literally left me with like nothing. I could never save money, get the house cleaned, or do anything that would actually matter like renovations on the house.
I went through every level of abuse at this person's hand and I just want this nightmare to be over but I need help.
I can't officially cut ties and end everything except for official contact until I have this security. Currently every interaction becomes a whole. Another story and My ex is dedicated to ruining all my few I have even though we're done and I don't know why It's so necessary to attempt to make everybody hate me when I'm literally not doing anything and trying to go peacefully, even packing my ex's stuff and returning it with the most care..
I loved my ex I really did and I put everything I had into that relationship and I can't heal until this is sorted out.
So if anyone knows something affordable that I can do or even an idea of how to make a rough draft document, I can get notarized, I would appreciate it.

2024.05.21 13:43 Comma_Karma "People in gaza lived fine before hamas. who built their houses?"; Israel has a foolproof strategy, says one r/noncredibledefense armchair general, and is quickly dogpiled!

CONTEXT: noncredibledefense is a shitposting subreddit with a heavy focus on Western militaries which exploded in popularity during the War in Ukraine. Most members were lock-step in their views with each other, e.g. NATO good, China bad, Russia lmfao... until October 7th and the invasion of Gaza. While reddit generally skews to supporting Palestinian causes, noncredibledefense has been generally supportive of Israel and their war against Hamas, although not to say that there isn't contention with the topic having a noticeable split. One meme is shared that is remarkably critical of Israel for the sub, and it is immediately ratio'd with the top armchair generals arguing over the good, the bad and the ugly.
One user suggests that life in Gaza was fine
people in gaza lived fine before hamas. who built their houses?
Who bombed them?
maybe don't cross a border to slaughter 1300 innocent people. belgium doesn't do that shit, no one is invading belgium. why can't gaza be more like belgium? if you don't want war, don't start one. atleast then when someone else decides to start a war in your place of the world, you can have the moral highground. how many israeli's would be dead if israel did not have iron dome?
FFS, look back a few decades. Look at how the Israelis treat them. Terrorism is never right but they have a good reason to be mad.
Just don't look back more than like 5 years or you'll see all the resolutions ignored, rockets launched, terror attacks committed, or if you go then further then literal wars.
And do two wrongs make a right?
Who is launching rockets from them? You know, doing a war crime that removes protection from civilian objects.
So Israel can stoop to Hamas' level? Hamas did it so Isreal can?
Launching attacks from civilian areas = war crime. Use of non-targeted munitions = war crime. Using targeted munitions to destroy missile bases in civilian areas =/= war crime. Israel isn't stooping to Hamas's level at all
And can both sides be wrong in a conflict?
Yeah sorry, this is a CIA-ass subreddit. Israel can do as much genocide as it likes as far as the people here are concerned, it's the wrong target audience for this meme.
Or, perhaps maybe, Israel should stop using civilians as meat shields. Maybe both sides are bad (wild, i know), and not wanting to support terrorists is good
Lmao, both sides are bad, I don't support hamas, but you must realise that this subreddit thinks that Israel are the good guys right? You're literally already being downvoted for saying that... (or maybe it's the freudian slip at the start of your comment)
Lmao, both sides are bad, I don't support hamas, but you must realise that this subreddit thinks that Israel are the good guys right? You're literally already being downvoted for saying that... (or maybe it's the freudian slip at the start of your comment)
One user sarcastically responds to the idea of showing mercy to your enemy, and misses the irony
Ah yes they should go the "be nice to people slaughtering you" route. Then the extremist beliefs have no reason to exist so you will pretend they don't exist.
Novel idea I know but maybe clear out the building with people. Fallujah wasn't exactly leveled by the end of it and we too, to the best of my memory refrained from sending hospitals, places of worship, and schools (the places civilians normally run to as the opposite of military targets) 500kg explosive care packages from orbit.
Is it antisemitic to be against Israel existing?
Israel gets away with too much shit. It’s apparently antisemitism to be against Israel or voice opposition to their policies.
It's antisemitism to be against the existence of Israel because it is the only country that protects jews. And it has to do a lot of protecting. They're fighting terrorists who target civilians and use human shields. That is not Israel's choice. It's antisemitism to think jews evil because they are forced to deal with a problem that you would do worse at. I don't know where you're from but I could say your country HAS done far worse than Israel and I'd probably be right. more follows
Fuck off with that bullshit, ethnic cleansing is ethnic cleansing no matter the context, you’re coping hard for shit the likes of Russia does and routinely gets condemned for. Hamas commits terrorist attacks, Israel responds consistently by bombing civilians/neighborhoods/hospitals trying to kill said terrorist group and blockaids the region, only to ensure the radicalization of the population while strengthening the hand of said terrorists in the long run.
As usual, the I/P war cannot be discussed without some drama occurring and it demonstrates how divisive it is when a subreddit meant to support Western defense is thrown into chaos over the topic.
