Watch taboo charming mother

My dad lives his life and I view it from the outside.

2024.05.22 04:36 Necessary_Guard6448 My dad lives his life and I view it from the outside.

I wasn’t really sure how to title this post. I guess I’m just here to vent. I don’t like to vent to my husband because I don’t want him to resent my family and pretty much the same with friends. But basically I feel like I am not a part of my dads life and I feel like it’s starting to impact the relationship between my sister and I. I’ll first mention that I am the oldest of 5. My dad had 3 daughters with my mother and 2 kids with my step mom, 1 boy and 1 girl. Growing up it was just my sister and I. My parents were “married” but never lived together, I lived with my moms family. My dad would visit but my parents would fight and then he would leave. I don’t have too many memories of my dad where he would take us to the park, movies, sit with us and watch a movie, sit with me and ask about my friends at school. I was SA at 8 1/2 and my both my parents partially blamed me. No one did anything about it, no one called the police.
My dad had me young at 21. Parents divorced when I was 8. Then when I was 11 came our 3rd sister. A year and a half later he had our other sister with my step mom and less than a year after that he had my brother. Very odd I know. But growing up my dad was more of a strict parent. We weren’t even allowed to go outside and the house needed to be clean 24/7. When he got with my stepmom, they didn’t even tell me that she was pregnant and I was never invited to her babyshower. Then we were to go to some party and they just showed up with my sister in the carseat, she was already born a week ago. When I mentioned this to him, he said he thought I would be smart enough to see that she is visibly pregnant. So 3 months later they told me that she is having my brother which probably only because I said something about my sister. I didn’t find out that they got married until 2 years after. Now that my sister is 16, things are coming up that make me realize that I don’t have the dad they her and my brother have. They see him everyday. They get the dad to take them to school. Be there at bedtime. My brother pointed at a shirt and said look let’s get this for dad, I said why and he said “because it has an eagle on it” i said yeah and? He said because dad likes eagles how do you not know that?! I had no idea. They know all about his likes and dislikes. I don’t really know much. My sister is learning how to drive and asked me how was dad with me when teaching me…but he didn’t teach me. So it’s things like that.
Sorry that this is all over the place. Just a lot to unpack. For the record, I don’t speak to both my parents. I don’t hate my half siblings. If anything, it’s all worth it if he was a crappy parent to me so he could be great for them.

2024.05.22 04:33 poopypants0125 UPDATE: AITA for snitching on my sister because she read something she shouldn't have. [tw: physical and sexual abuse]

1st post: https://www.reddit.com/AITAH/comments/1cmw03u/aita_for_snitching_on_my_sister_because_she_read/
Despite there just being a few of you who have read/commented on my post, this will be my update about everything that has happened throughout the past couple of weeks since my first post. I am in dire need of advice.
On the day we found out about what happened between my dad and my older sister, my sister called my mom to ask if it was true. My mom was silent at first, but later on said that she believes my older sister 100%. I just kept on crying because of the sheer absurdity of it all, and my sister went on asking questions about every detail.
I was immensely confused.
For context, we live in a third-world country, and my family isn't doing very well financially as of the moment. My father is a tricycle driver which doesn't earn much, and my mother is in millions of debt due to getting scammed by a friend (or at least she claims she got scammed by) and has been on the run; trying to make fast cash through money laundering in city casinos. Nonetheless, before she got scammed, there is no denying that my mother has been the bread winner on top of being a single-mom, while my dad went NC for a long time when they split up.
We still have my little sister (F 14) to take care of. My 2 older sisters have their own lives to worry about. Now that I have a job, I wouldn't be able to participate in doing housework and watching over my little sister either. So, I got my sister to come home since she just quit her job anyway, and was living with her boyfriend. I asked her to take care of the house, my mother's 4 dogs, and our little sister, to which she all agreed to. Should it happen that my sister cannot take care of our little sister anymore, we've planned (this including my mom) that we'll have our little sister live in with our dad.
Realizing that my mom knew what my dad did to my older sister, and then agreeing to have our little sister live with him, I snapped. I told her just why she thought that would be a good idea when she knew all about this, and she said that "he wouldn't do it to you guys". I told her that she doesn't know that, asked how she can be so sure, and yelled that she should just come home. She's been away for 2 months now, and from what I have heard from my sister, our mother has spent the rest of her savings on her living expenses in city hotels near casinos. She's been living like this for more than a year now.
My mother has been endlessly making hollow promises that we will make millions by "next week", that everything will be okay again, and that she can't come home because the house reminds her too much of her ex of 6 years (they broke up 2 months ago because we found out he made a mistress out of my mother). She insisted that nothing good will ever happen if she came home and salvaged what was left of our family business that she claims got fucked over because of her "scammer"-friend. From what I've seen, I would say that it was all because of her own mismanagement.
And I guess this is the part where I made it all about myself. After yelling at my mom, I walked out of the room and just started bawling my eyes out. I called my boyfriend, told him everything that's happened, and cried some more. My younger sisters were knocking on my door, asking if we could talk, and I told them that they should just give me some space. They tried opening my door, but they left me alone after my boyfriend messaged my sister to just leave me alone.
My sister went on to tell my boyfriend how I made it all about myself for texting my older sister about her snooping into the diary, yelling at my sister because she doesn't want to give the diary up, and raising my voice at my mother after finding out she knew all about this and was still insistent on having my little sister live with my dad. My boyfriend let my sister go on about her rant, to which he replied that he does not want to get too involved without my permission.
A couple of days later, I called my dad to ask if we could talk. I told him about what happened, and asked if he's got any idea of this history between him and my older sister.
Again, for context, throughout my mother's marriage with my dad, he and my older sister never spoke a word to each other. We grew up never seeing them even exchange greetings.
All I knew was that my dad did his best to raise my older sister as his own, but because of her father's relatives' influence on her, he claimed that my older sister was brainwashed to think that my father was a bad person. This is the same kind of argument my sister said about the abuse not being true too.
My dad wasn't the type to be serious upon confrontation either, so when I told him about it, he said, "well, that's new". He continued on to tell me that he doesn't blame my sister for feeling that way about him because she was brainwashed by her father's relatives ever since she was a little kid. I told him that I am having trouble believing him, because it is quite hard to believe that someone could brainwash a child into thinking that they got molested by their own step-father.
He said that although that argument does make sense, he said that he's got nothing to do with anything like that with my older sister. I made him swear that he's telling me the truth. I told him that if I do find out that he's lying, I will be going NC on him permanently.
I do not know who to believe anymore.
Thinking back on it, there was a time when by dad got so drunk during a family christmas party, that he opened up to me about how he also got molested by a man when he was young. He told me about it because I was also sexually abused by our neighbor as a kid, but that's a whole different can of worms. The point is, he wouldn't think if doing that to another person, especially my older sister, because he knows just how horrible that is... right?
I am so conflicted about everything. After my dad left my mom, my older sister did try her best to take care of us. However, she would also beat us up if we messed up our chores or just plainly fail to do what she wanted. Perhaps that was her way of coping with the frustrations she had on my father.
Everything is making sense, but at the same time, it doesn't. A lot of things have transpired since then, and I will be making a separate post about it soon.
But this is all I have for now. So Reddit, I know it's a lot to ask, but I would very much appreciate any help/criticism you may have on this.

2024.05.22 04:30 Ok_Oven_2576 Watching the partner you know fade away to mental illness is one of the worst things I've ever experienced, but I have full faith he will come back to me

Right now we're dealing with a week and a half long bout of psychosis/mania. My (27F) boyfriend (28M) has never, ever had an episode in his almost 30 years of life, until now.
I've been back and forth to the hospital every day to visit him for the last week, over an hour away, and haven't missed a single day... I'm exhausted but would do anything for him.
Unfortunately his parents (62F & 64M) are driving me insane. I miss having alone time with him in general since I am used to spending the majority of my time with him. Each day, he is allowed one short visit, and they say they must be there, even when he asks for only me. I get it, I just miss him, and feeling like they don't seem to trust me...his mother has never seemed to at least, but she doesn't trust anything. We've been together almost 5 years, living together for over 2 now. I don't know how else to prove I'm here for the long haul. When they visit, he gets upset with them for being so over the top and controlling, which is part of why he's in this predicament to begin with.
I am on leave from work to be there for him since he's just not himself and needs recovery/routine/stability. His true self shines through regularly, but his moms negativity is killing me. She keeps comparing our sides saying hers is worse (for the record I'm not saying it is or isn't, but it isn't a competition)....She told me if he doesn't get over this, I can at least be his friend....she is doing what she thinks is best despite his wishes and said to me that she told her husband if I say something he doesn't agree with, that it doesn't matter.
I have full faith in my man to come through this, better than ever, and her lack of faith in him pisses me off. Watching him struggle is the most awful thing. He is a typically quiet and calm man, but right now he is over the top, extroverted, trying to be everyone's best friend. Won't take his mood stabilizers and is just all over the place. But I still love him with all of my heart and know he will come back to us soon. I will keep fighting this with him every step. Thanks for listening.
Tldr: boyfriend in hospital with psychosis and has negative motheoverbearing parents who are pissing me off

2024.05.22 04:27 AYYYYhashtag9359 I just cried for the same reason as last time after a year and 10 months.

It was a normal tuesday night, i was cramming for my science exam tomorrow while scrolling on youtube trying to find a little distraction when i saw tommy’s newest video: “im not a kid anymore”. Watching him talking about his life was quite refreshing, as i hadn’t seen him on my fyp for a while now. After finishing it, i started to think about all my childhood heros such as the rock and youtubers, which reminded me of “unspeakabele”. I was curious about how he was doing, so i took at his channel and just looking at all of his recent videos when my mind started to think: What other youtubers did i envy when i was younger? My first thought was Technoblade. I then went to his channel, where i stumbled upon the video i was so afraid of watching that i closed my laptop half way through. Now, it’s important for you to know that i was 12 back then; my parents had divorced in a very ugly way a year ago because my father had cheated on my mum for 3 years and even had a child, he stole almost all my mom’s savings + my grandparents savings from their lifetime, my mother was trauma dumping on me while almost being abusive sometimes, i would often hear her cry her eyes out at night thinking i was always and all of this led to her getting severe ptsd and depression. Now back to the present (of the time the video was released), i was quite excited to see that technoblade, my favorite youtuber. had uploaded a new video! I proceeded to click on it and regretted it after 5 minutes. During this time, my mom had woken up and was walking around the apartment. I really didn’t want to show her my weak side back then, as she was pretty much relying on me as the only pillar in her life, so showing her my crying face probably would have made her even worst. I also didn’t want to bother explaining to her why i was crying, as she most likely wouldn’t understand nor care. And so, i had to swallow up all that pain and stuff it deep inside me. Now fast forward to today, i clicked the video, watched it and proceeded to start crying like i’ve cried before. I never realized how much these youtubers helped me cope during my younger years until today and the realization that one of the pillars i used to rely on so much was gone just hit me hard like a rock. I cried and cried, bawling my eyes out until i couldn’t anymore and wrote this. I don’t really know why i did so, but i guess it’s just another way for me to cope with the trauma i accumulated through out the years.
sorry if it doesn’t make too much sense; english is my third language.

2024.05.22 04:26 QTFIRE [TOMT] A song I believe may be from an Indianapolis Indie artist who I can't find.

Ok, so this may sound crazy but I've had this song stuck in my head off and on for awhile, and have been searching for for the past 3 years. I think the first time I heard it was at a concert for Indie singers I went to with my mom about 13 years ago. We even go the album and I listened to it regularly. What bothers me is I have a pretty good memory when it comes to lyrics and remember most of the words especially because I played the song constantly in the car and my grandfather used his burner to help me download it on my ipod to listen to constantly. I've told a lot of my friends about the song and have sung it to them. The crazy thing is, the friends I told about it who grew up in Indianapolis knew the song and could sometimes even finish the lyrics. A lot of us remember it playing on the Smiley Morning radio show and around Broadripple.
The song had a female lead, old country-rock vibes, and when I look up the lyrics I can't find it at all.
Here's the lyrics I remember (I believe it's most of them tbh):
She threw a penny in the fountain and looked up at the sky. It was time for her to leave this town. Her enthusiasm gunning, She hit the pavement running, And she left nothing behind her, But a white wedding gown.
Oh, Carolina, girl you've got to come back home.
Oh, Carolina, so much has happened since you've been gone.
She didn't plan to be a mother, didn't wanna be a bride. Wasn't looking for no man only looking for a ride. When she heard that whistle blowing, Felt the rumble of the ground, And she saw that train a comin'- It was Indiana bound.
Oh, Carolina, girl you've got to come back home.
Oh, Carolina, so much has happened since you've been gone.
She was riding that rail, Thought it better to fail Then never to have tried at all. And though she tried to roam, Love kept pulling her back home, And so she answered that lonesome whistles call.
(Band solo)
She through a penny in the fountain, And thought of better days. She sat and watched the world turn round. She found solace in St. Patrick, And underneath she prayed, That the sun was shining on her side of town.
Oh, Carolina, girl you've got to come back home.
Oh, Carolina, so much has happened since you've been gone.
(Some of these lyrics could be wrong, but it's weird that so many people remember the same song with it seemingly not existing on the internet at all.)

2024.05.22 04:25 LingonberryPurple149 There's something special about base builders set in space

I just love playing them. They are so fun and satisfying, especially if you've watched a ton of movies set in space or have been a space enthusiast. I love being able to design and automate space stations, manage them, and make sure everything's working well.
To be honest, I'm generally a huge fan of base builders but there's just a completely different charm to games like Final Factory and Dyson Sphere Program than in games like Banished, at least for me. The fact that you build literal space stations is just so empowering and, well, overwhelming at times when you try to imagine how great they are.

2024.05.22 04:20 Late-Law7437 What should I do?

Child Support and paternity fraud plz help
Where do I begin. For the purpose of this post, I will use fictious names and locations as it is ongoing, and out of respect (even though she doesn't deserve any)
My name is Daniel. I am 35 years old, and i am dying. I have a disease called systemic sclerosis. I am currently on a supplemental disability plan, until I get approved for SSI (social Security). Until then, my income is about 4K a month. I own a home but after child support and bills, NOT INCLUDING gas, food, haircuts, medical appointments, and or emergencies like my fridge just broke. (which i never go out) I am left with $260 that has to last me a month. I also have three children who I have to take care of half the time per the 50/50 agreement.
Recently, I found out my oldest, (who is 13) is not biologically mine. I decided to look into it as I had concerns for a while since my divorce as her cheating was very rampant. I also had caught her in 2017 with a man in my house, which is what prompted the divorce. But FL being a no fault state, doesn't matter. I also had to pay child support since the beginning and WHILE LEGALLY Married since 2010 because she had applied for financial support like food stamps and government assistance then. I know what your thinking. Why didnt you stop it then? I tried. You cant take yourself off child support. I also never grew up with a father and wanted that two-parent household. I don't run from responsibilities, like he did. Its how I was raised. Anyways, I married her, tried to do the right thing, she lied numerous times. she never worked, and I worked 90 plus hours a week. To look into her cheating, was impossible at the time as I was never home. and to busy providing for my family.
fast forward to now. My disease started to become worse and over three years; it didn't reveal itself until last year fully to actually pinpoint what this was. for instance, I had in 2019 pain behind my eyes and horrible headaches to the point that I thought I had MS. following year, I had trouble swallowing for 3 months. next year itching in the skin for three months. But prior, I had visited various doctors to see what was going on, each time a flare up then would last 3 to four months, which again, when you don't understand what's going on, you need to take time off to go see doctors, run tests, but this illness was and still is very elusive. with that being said I had 5 jobs since its first flare up till last year to continue to support my family and to pay child support. as of last year. I'm having trouble moving on certain days, breathing and acid reflux and muscle atrophy. (disease progression) especially when this is going on, it worsens everything as this is flared up. I was working under the table to try and make ends meet as I was paying child support still. I should add that the child support with 50/50 custody was $1029 for three kids cause I was making six figures at the time of divorce in 2018. Last year however, I couldn't work anymore, and filed for disability.
In june of last year, I had asked Susan, to get the children school supplies, (which she never does) as I was still paying at the time $1029 in child support. She said she didnt have the money despite now making 70k and her new BF living with her and is working whom she cheated on me with. With me working under the table, I bought them clothes, haircuts, school supplies (ive done every year) but then, I noticed she went on vacation to puerto rico and got a giant leg tattoo. At the time, I had already known what I had, and I asked myself why the heck am I doing this? So i turned to an attorney to get it modified. Again, this is June 20th to be exact of last year. My lawyer, stated that this was only going to be a 90 day turn around for the temporary modification then we will go for the final.
Since then, I have gone for a DNA test. I had to know. I am dying. I wanted to know. And you may judge me for this. but i have filed for disablement for paternity, meaning I am removing myself from the birth certificate. However, in the state of Florida, a mother can deny this and so can the courts. before you judge me, I have many reasons none of which have to do with him other then his mental disability (Aspergers) This illness, as days go by takes more and more from me. As previously aforementioned, I am left with 250 a month. I cannot go get a drs appointment pay for groceries or start planning my funeral which I will start making payments on soon. He also eats three times the amount that we all collectively do (Not his fault) but I have paid enough both mentally and financially. He also has trouble communicating as my suspicions is, that he was born of incest (gross) which is why I was 'chosen' to be his father at the time. Before you ask how do you know? Lets just say she had an uncle 'leave' during that time.
anyways, in February, I had the temporary modification hearing for child support and needless to say it was a circus. My doctor was subpoenaed to be there by my attorneys request to better my argument, even though I felt we didn't need her, she advised me to have my doctor there. Well, he attorney attacked my doctor and me for an hour and 40 mins when the court case was only supposed to go for an hour. He said "you saw another dr Max so and so and they said it was all in your head" (again I had flare ups on a illness that hadnt revealed itself correctly since last year). So there argument was that I was doctor seeking to avoid child support. After I have paid for 13 years never missing a payment. Her lawyer also targeted people who are living with me. Now I'll admit that I said they were friends which is true but how else can I pay for my attorney? Cant work, cant sell drugs, cant rob a bank? So they want to take there income into consideration. BS. She also hired a private investigator to watch me exercise outside and stated that because I can exercise, I can work..... Ok. Where's the 23 hours of the rest of the day watching me in pain. or when do you have me on video of a flare up from this terminal illness? (that's what I wanted to say)
Although I was granted the temporary modification, of $209, I left the court thinking wow, this woman can cheat, commit paternity fraud, not give two craps about our children, live with her mom in a section 8 home, and here I am doing whatever I can and I've done nothing wrong but be lied to and this is how my government, my country treats me? No wonder men my age dont have children this is insane. The paternity issue wasn't even brought up they said that this isnt the place for this and that the disestablishment will be another trial for those wondering. My lawyer only spoke for 5 mins. Asking her about her income cause thats the only thing that has changed since 2018 since she didnt work at the time. Other than that, it was an attack on me and my disease arguing my ability to work.
after leaving that, I didnt eat for 96 hours. I have since been crying nonstop. Compilating suicide. I am already heart broken about my son not being mine. Sure does a terminal illness make me said, no question everyday. But a life wasted on another? Cause I decided to be a man and take up responsibility? thats soul crushing. And to say "well, there is a big chance the courts will deny your request' thats BS. If i go to prison because I was accused of a robbery for 13 years, and DNA evidence proves I wasnt there, I get out of jail and can sue. This is no different. If anything, DNA evidence needs to be more of a factor in family law than in almost every court of law if not as equally important. My bad for not investigating her infidelity not only in the beginning but also in the end. How about not being a POS. sorry rant over
gets better. Her mom and dad smoke in the section 8 house, kids reek of cigarette smoke and marijuana, all day. they dont take showers there, they were hand me down clothes, they live in the garage shared with there mother, that isn't air conditioned. and he makes only a few thousand less than I do a month. She stated in court that she pays her mom $500 in rent which is BS, she is only doing that now so that she makes herself look bad. I know she is doing pills, like oxy and what not. Id love to prove it.
after the temp hearing, in april, I had to go to court to contest my drivers license suspension as I hadn't paid child support since, august of last year. again, there is no way, I can pay my bills, feed my children, go to the doctor, pay my lawyer to end all of this BS and pay the current child support amount. and again, this final hearing is still not set yet. So they intercepted my tax return, even though the temporary modification was approved, the final is what gets it retro backed to the date of filing, so they took, a much needed 5500 tax return from me. I needed that cause one of the issues I failed to mention as well, hurricane Ian has destroyed my home and I'm still going through that process too. not to mention I am on payment plans with Mayo clinic and other various medical facilities. (no one cares) but the interest that accrues, makes it impossible to catch up. also, Florida department of rev is overstepping I feel, and asking for medical info to be sent to them as well as updated doctors letters to be sent saying that I am still on disability.
a few weeks ago, I got an email from my lawyer having a withdrawal notice from her lawyer. in the withdrawal, he stated that he cannot represent her, due to something she may have withheld or lied about (more or less wasn't worded like that but you can tell). In feb court appearance they never produced the PI report, or videos, they had medical info they shouldn't have had, and they had very outlandish comments about my lifestyle. So my lawyer filed immediately a motion to compel. meaning, we want to see everything you have on my client. this was filed almost immediately after court appearance on feb 20th. Susan has failed to provide any updated info requested by my attorney so on june 18th, we have that upcoming hearing.
in the mean time, I have sent my lawyer, a very heavily requested topics, such as "where did they get my medical records, if those were lies, what are the consequences if any"? What did exercising have to do with any of this despite various drs saying he has to or he will get worse.
I know wat you must be thinking, what about your oldest, how can you do that to him. Please listen. This woman has taken everything from me. And i mean everything but the roof over my head. I am seeing a therapist to help with the suicidal thoughts. it isnt enough. the reality of it is, I chose to be loyal and it bit me in the butt. This disease will rob me of everything, my teeth will fall out ( I had 5 cavities last time I went to the dentist) I haven't had a cavity since I was 30 and even then I was suspicious. And I am brushing 5 time s a day to save them. My skin is tightening, and my arms and muscles are wasting. I will literally be left with nothing. My organs will also start to harden, and I will have to start getting around the clock care.
I forgot to mention they (child support) recently, sent a letter to SSI (social security) saying that they would garnish my SSI before I even got it, totaling $1029. the incorrect amount. I sent this to my lawyer and she is looking into it. But it shows that child support will overstep and breaks every law or freedom you may think you have. I DO take care of my children. if they need a haircut i do it, school supplies clothes, anything I do it. And I do it, cause she wont. What I want to leave you with, is that woman can be dead beats too. Child support was designed to have woman off of government subsidized programs like section 8 food stamps and what not. Also to make the man pay for their children man or woman I should say, I know this. I am not running from my obligation. I just want Susan, to have to pay for what's she's done to me and the kids.
I would like to hear your thoughts on this, please comment and share, all names are fake, but everything else is unfortunately real. I know it was wordy, but I wanted to provide as much backstory as possible. And please. Respect my descions. When you are end of life, I hope someone would be kind enough to respect yours. You may not agree and that's ok, but I am asking you to respect them. Thank you for reading.

2024.05.22 04:14 StariFruits [PS2] [2000s] superfamily game with giant worm

so theres this one game i played while i was a little kid that i absolutely adored. i kept playing it over and over but i just cannot remember what it was called. thankfully there was one scene that stuck out to me, so i hope that can help !!! thank you for the help :- )
Platform(s): I played this on the playstation two, i remember the controller
Genre: Action / Beat em up? It was similar to crash bandicoot or like classic sonic in sonic generations. you could play several different characters
Estimated year of release: i honestly have zero idea, im so sorry.
Graphics/art style: i want to say this game was apart of a franchise, because im pretty sure i remember there being a television show ? though that could very well be a mismemory. it had decent graphics for the ps2, very cartoony. it had that 2000s edge going for it.
Notable characters: first and foremost i remember there very vividly being a giant worm of sorts attacking the building the family was stuck in. i think it was a hot air balloon that they lived in? i want to say there was five characters. one was a teenage boy, and another was some sort of furry creature? i also believe there was a mother and father. regardless, they all had orange and black jumpsuits on. each character had their own set of skills
Notable gameplay mechanics: you had to run from left to right through the place while spotting the worm from outside the windows. there were some mini enemies, but it was mostly platforming. you made your way onto the roof to fight the worm and you had to avoid being eaten. i dont remember what happened if you won or lost which blows, but i remember very vividly how cool it was to watch the worm slither past you outside the windows while you jumped over a pit
Other details: im not entirely sure, but it could have been a cartoon network game.

2024.05.22 04:02 Jakalth Expedition Yeltomar

Expedition Yeltomar
Frank, a human male in his middle ages, sits in the pilot seat of the small single occupant shuttle. It had been a rather challenging descent so he was taking this time to catch his breath and settle his nerves. The Zeno-biologist has been exploring planets for the past year, jumping from system too system, cataloging planets for the galactic federation. He has already cataloged 3 other life bearing planets in the last 17 systems but this one was by far the most challenging.
Star system 2B38A-22 is a fairly mundane system with a larger K-class orange dwarf star at its heart. It contains a single gas giant and a common ice giant in its outer system with the molten metallic core of another gas giant circling in a 15 day orbit of its parent star. Just farther out is the planet he is currently landed on, being a sizable heavy gravity terrestrial world of 2.8 galactic standard gravity and having an unusually dense atmosphere of 8.1 galactic standard.
Frank takes a deep breath and pulls himself out of the seat. The high gravity of this world was proving difficult to fight against after his time in deep space. 'I really need to get more exercise. I'm getting weak here.'; he says too himself. Being an Earth born human, this world is only 1.6 times the gravity of Earth, so should not be this hard to manage. Walking slowly over too the science station he starts taking readings on the atmosphere of the planet too see if he will need the bulky atmosphere isolation suit, or just the re-breather. 'Hmmm. 40% Oxygen, 30% Carbon dioxide, 22% Methane, trace amount of Nitrogen, Neon, Helium, other gasses too low to make out. That's a novelty. Gravity and atmospheric pressure high enough to hold onto Helium.'; he thinks, starting to get into his elements again.
'Dangerously low biodiversity, mostly grasses and a few types of larger shrub and tree analogs. The limited animal life seems to be almost entirely evolved to use some type of flight. Almost no ground based life. But seems to be a stable marine biodiversity. Signs of a recent mass extinction event, no more then 1000 stellar cycles ago. No signs of civilization detected. No ruins or any forms of technology detected. Anomaly? Hmmm. What type of anomaly? Electromagnetic/Radio-logical. Odd... Close by as well. I'll have to check that one out.'; he reads off in his head. The results read out by the sensors were a bit erratic, changing a bit randomly as he watched them. The thick atmosphere and the shifting magnetic field of the planet are having negative effects on the shuttles sensors, making them unreliable.
"The atmosphere should be breathable, even without the re-breather. That's a nice change. But that high methane level will probably stink. Not so sure about the density though. It's thick as soup out there. Might want the re-breather just in case. Temperature seems fine and there isn't anything dangerous in the atmosphere so won't need the suit at least. Thank goodness for that. Wasn't looking forward to trying to move around in that bulky thing in this gravity."; Frank was starting too think out loud again. Being out here in unexplored space was starting to get too him. "Did you get the info dump Bimni? Is the info matching up with your reading up there?"; Frank calls out, having pushed the comms button in the science lab.
BrightEyesAtSea is a female Adelie Astor-geologist who is unfortunately stuck in their "mother-ship" due too the Adelie being unable to handle high gravity planets. She was quite displeased to say the least. So many different interesting mineral combinations to study and she was stuck ship side. Bimni was a name the human, Frank, had said when trying to shorten her name and it just kind of stuck. Not that she minded, but why couldn't he just use her full name? "Reading different up here. Not seeing that anomaly reading either. Blasted electromagnetic interference."; she Warbles out. The translation software working well to convert her Adelie churrs into human guttural speech, and vise verse. "This one is your call. You've got the more accurate atmospheric readings. Not sure about the rest. Something is off on this world, the chemistry just does not add up."
That did not bode well. If Bimni was having bad feelings, then he needed to be careful. Her gut feelings had proven more accurate then any sensor. "Noted. I'll be careful when out and about. Just keep Rover warmed up and send him down if anything goes wrong."; Frank responds in turn. Rover was a military robotic mech that, despite many attempts at reprogramming, they were not able to tone down its brutishly aggressive responses to stimuli. So they never use it for anything but hazardous environments or when things go wrong. "Just be sure to grab as many mineral samples as you can fit onto the shuttle. It would be so much easier if I could just be down there.": Bimni responds with a huff. Frank can feel her telepathic annoyance even from this range, so she must be truly furious about being stuck ship side.
Finding no other reasons to postpone this, Frank grabs the re-breather and walks, still slowly, over too the airlock. "Alright Bimni. I'm heading out. I'll keep in touch with you using the shuttle as a relay. Hopefully the interference doesn't get too bad."; Frank says after after linking up the mobile comms earpiece to the shuttles antenna. It's not like he was going to go far from the shuttle anyways. Not in this gravity. Just far enough to reach that anomaly. Cycling the airlock, he steps inside. Deciding to wait on the re-breather for now, he clips it too his belt. He would see how bad the atmosphere was and decide from there. Pushing the cycle button, he waits for the airlock to balance atmospheres with the outside, getting a taste of the atmosphere in the process.
As the airlock finishes cycling and opens, Frank is hit with the thick humid atmosphere and the raw smell of methane. Huh. The smell was not as bad as he thought it would be. But the thick humid air was another matter. "It's like pea soup out here."; Frank comments. "I could almost swim in this stuff. But at least its not hard too breathe." Bimni quickly responds with; "Gee thanks. Now I want a bowl of pea soup, and you know we ran out 5 cycles ago." She didn't sound any happier after that comment. "Well sorry for making you hungry, with all the good food being on the mother ship and me only having excursion rations."; he jokes back at her hoping to at least lessen her bad mood. "The only solace I have for being stuck up here."; Bimni coos back, seeming to have lost at least some of her bad mood.
Frank takes his first steps out of the airlock onto this new world and... \*SPLAT\* feels something wet and soft hit his head and slide down his side. Lifting a hand up to wipe the side of his head, he is met with a slimy substance with bits of plant matter and something else. Tentatively, he takes a sniff; "Fraaack...."; Frank lets out with a sigh. Looking up he sees a 2 meter long gasbag creature with undulating manta ray like wings slowly swimming away high above him. "First steps out of the shuttle and I get crapped on by an alien."; he says with a bit of disgust. This is quickly answered with a trilling chuckle from Bimni though the comms. "Not a word."; he says too Bimni, who continues to chuckle even louder. Retracing his steps back up to the shuttles airlock, he reaches inside and grabs one of the rag towels and wipes off the droppings from his head and side. What a great start this is...
20 minutes later, Frank has already loaded several unique looking rocks into the shuttle for Bimni to examine later and has determined that there are in fact TWO types of grass in the surrounding area. Wow. And what is that? Another one of those elongated gasbag creatures high above. Both of the grasses are very similar too each other it seems, both being nearly black in color too absorb as much of the very dim light given off by the orange sun in the sky as possible. It is quite dim out despite it being close too mid day with the sky being completely clear. The thick atmosphere dispersing a lot of the light and giving everything a red orange tint with blues being quite faint. In the distance he can see a cluster of shrubs that look like thick orange coral with yellowish black balloon like gas bags growing out of the ends of each branch. And beyond that, in the general direction of the anomaly readings, there is an unusual rock formation overgrown with some type of plants.
"Still not much too see here Bimni, other then a few odd rocks here and there. I grabbed several samples for you already before you ask. The lack of diversity here is quite disconcerting."; Frank comments to Bimni through the comms. In response he only hears the faint crunching of whatever she had found to munch on while he did all the hard work down here. "Still making my way towards the anomaly. Hopefully there will be something interesting there. At least the bushes ahead are something different. Seem to be a thick stemmed Ficus analog with inflated leaf structures that look like balloons. Some type of adaptation to the high gravity I'm sure."; he continues the running dialog he's been trying to keep up since the gasbag poo incident. Though it has been hard too due with how little there has been to discuss.
Closing in on the bushes, they are in fact, just as he though. Similar to a ficus with thick stems, and the leaves are gas filled balloon like structures that hold up the stems. Really not much to look at other then being completely alien with a fascinating symbiosis with a few benign bacteria that seem to produce the gas that fills its leaves. A sudden sound diverts his attention. Frank looks up just in time to track an unusual 1 foot long bird like creature taking off from the ground in a hurry. The creature has 2 pairs of feathered wings attached too a bird like body, a long swan like neck with a bird like beaked head that hangs down below it's body, no legs, and 2 highly aerodynamic gasbags on it's back. This bird is already moving fast and accelerating even faster as it moves at a right angle too him. "That's a new one. A bird like life form. Has both 2 sets of feathered wings and a pair of gasbags for lift. It's fast too!"; he excitedly says too Bimni.
His excitement is short lived though, as a loud POP is heard and a 3 clawed tentacle is suddenly attached through the birds gasbag, holding onto the bird. This tentacle is in turn part of a large wing shaped creature with an open mouth, filled with sharp teeth, attached too the bottom of its wing shaped body. The bird is quickly dragged backwards towards the open mouth and swallowed hole. The whole time this flying wing creature is rippling with different colors like an earth cuddle fish. Before Frank can even exclaim about it, there is a soft booming sound as trails of faint smoke start to come out of a cylindrical shaped bulge on each side of the wing shaped creature before it shoots forwards at high speed, climbing up upwards again before it's body ripples with color one last time then seems to fade into the sky as its body color quickly matches the color of the sky.
"By all that's holy! Your not going to believe this one..."; Frank says in a hushed tone. His excitement replaced with caution and a bit of fear. "There's a flying predator here that can camouflage to match the sky. Damn thing appeared in the sky out of no where and then was gone from sight just as quickly. Wolfed down that bird like you do with those sardines you like so much."
"Are you safe?"; Bimni responds with honest concern in her squawking voice.
"I think so. Don't see that thing anywhere. But you better make sure Rover is ready too launch on a moments notice in case that thing comes back. The damn thing seemed to be jet powered as well."; Frank responds, still a bit shaken up. He was not expecting anything like that, he wasn't going to lie. Looking around him, there was no shelter nearby other then the rock formation ahead.
"Can you take shelter for a bit somewhere? Just in case it's still around?"; Bimni asks, sounding quite concerned as she preps Rover for immediate launch.
"There's no where too take shelter. Closest is that rock formation. Hopefully there is some place to shelter near there."; Frank responds, not feeling very confident. But it's that or make a break for the shuttle, a good 15 minutes away though the open grasses.
"Do it. And by the gods, keep your human senses open!"; Bimni blurts out.
Frank didn't even bother with a response. He went into a full jog, the fastest he could move in the high gravity of this world. Even with his crazy human endurance, he was all too quickly winded and forced too slow down as he neared the rock formation. Finding an overhang with a shallow but human sized indent under it he ducks into it. It might not be much, but at least he only need to worry about what's in front of him now. "I'm there... Found a... overhang. In shelter."; he panted out. "No sign... of danger." He hasn't felt this winded since he used to run marathons back on Earth.
Having taken a moment to catch his breath again, Frank places his hands on the sides of the indent he's tucked into and only now realizes something is off. Pulling his eyes away from looking for danger, he glances at the surfaces around him. Too smooth. He runs his hands along it again and can feel the seams of... construction? "Uh Bimni? This rock formation is not natural. It was constructed."; he says in a slow quiet voice.
"What? Someone carved it?"; she asked. Frank ran his hands along the underside of the overhang while watching for danger, feeling the framework and paneling that was used too construct it. Metal. "No. It's a structure of some type. It's made of metal."; he responds. No ruins or technology my arse! "Wish you were down here even more now, your better with this stuff."
"I'm sending down Rover. I'll put it on manual and pilot it remotely myself."; Bimni states with a sharp chirp, leaving no room for argument. "Yeah, that's a good idea."; Frank responds softly. "I'll wait until Rover touches down before I start exploring. Don't need that big flying wing to catch me off guard."; he replies back.
Frank remains under the ledge while he waits for Rover to drop in, but luckily it's only a matter of a few minutes and the mech descends too the ground, curled into a ball, and under parachute. The mech is ready to go, being able to survive entry without the shuttle thanks to it's built in heat shield. Rover unrolls and stands up, being half the height of Frank, walking on 4 legs, with a manipulate arm on its back. With Rover there to help guard, Frank is able to leave his impromptu shelter. "Nice aim there Bimni. Landed Rover within meters."; he says to Bimni, a bit impressed. "Are you detecting anything new with Rovers sensors?"; Frank asks.
"Only getting the same reading, anomaly."; Bimni's voice comes from the speaker built into Rovers frame. "Now where did you find the metal?"; she asks as Frank gestures Rover over too the underside of the overhang and the indent he was tucked into before. "Back here, and above us. These surfaces are unnatural and the underside of this overhang is metal."; Frank points out.
Bimni pilots Rover under the overhang and uses the manipulator arm, with its light, to examine the surfaces more closely. "hmmm. Fascinating. These surfaces are of an alloy I've never seen before."; she says with a chirp of interest. As she is maneuvering to look at different parts of the surface, she accidentally bumps Rover into a panel on the side of the indent. There is a groaning noise from the back wall before the wall just as suddenly slides sideways revealing an opening. A soft glow is comming from inside along with the sounds of running machinery.
Giving each other a quick glance, both Frank, and Bimni piloting Rover, step in through the open doorway too figure out what is inside. There is a short corridor that leads too a room filled with softly glowing lights and what can only be a computer control room of some sort. Everything is marked with an alien language that is completely undecipherable. "Now this is interesting. And it's still running. Can you make anything of this?"; Frank says too Bimni before going to oe of the control panels and trying to figure out what it says. He doesn't notice Bimni's lack of response as he touches one of the displays.
There is a quick flash of the dim lighting in the room before all the sounds in the room go quite and the light turn off. "Did I touch the wrong thing?"; Frank asks. "Bimni, any idea? Bimni?"; he asks before turning around too see Rover standing un-moving in the corridor. "Hello. Bimni, you there?" There is no response but suddenly there is a burst of of some form of energy that even Frank can feel and an alarm starts blaring. Think now is the time to leave, Frank turns to Rover and grabs the handle on its back, pushing on it to try and get Rover's tactile override to move it. He's a bit grateful when it starts to back up through the corridor as its supposed to.
Once back outside, in the open air, there is a beep, as Bimni is able to reconnect too Rover. "What happened? I suddenly lost signal with Rover and lost your signal as well frank."; Bimni keels out, sounding quite worried.
"Not sure. Rover just stopped moving in the corridor while I was inside the room on the other side. Maybe some kind of shielding or interference?"; Frank responds while the alarm can still be clearly heard in the background.
"What did you do?"; Bimni demands now that the alarm sound can be heard clearly by her as well. "Nothing. I was just trying to see what the panels were and touched one, then the whole thing shut down and the alarm started going off. A growl is heard through Rovers speakers; "You humans have no common sense! You touch everything without even thinking..."; Bimni grumbles out. Frank can only shrug his shoulders sheepishly, can't really fight ones nature.
Any further comments from either of them is cut short as a pair of dragon like creatures land heavily beside them and let out a roar. These creatures are close too 4 feet tall at the shoulders, standing on four thin legs with 4 toed clawed feet. They both are black in color with thin, spindly looking bodies that are covered in very short, dense fur. They have a pair of wings on their back that are larger then their bodies and shaped like the wings of an albatross, and a single row of wide scales running along their backs from the top of their head too half way down their tail. The larger of the two stands up on it's hind legs and starts making shooing motions with its front legs and wings as it takes steps towards them. It is making strange animal vocalizations while it is doing this, sounding like many different animals, most unknown, but some sounding strangely familiar.
Bimni readies to defend Frank using Rover, but a quick gesture by Frank delays her. "Lets back away slowly and see how they respond first."; Frank says as he starts to back away from the structure. Begrudgingly, Bimni follows suit, backing Rover away from the building as well. Their actions are rewarded by the larger creature moving to stand in front of the open passage and crossing its front legs, like it is standing guard. The smaller of the two slips behind the larger one and hurries into the structure, still moving on all four legs. As it slips past, and into the structure, a series of marking can be seen over its back legs and tail. They are green in color and resemble lightning or electricity.
A loud series of animal noises is heard coming out from inside the structure. The larger creature blocking the passageway leans down, without taking its eyes off Rover and Frank and barks a series of noises back into the structure in turn. As it does this, marking can be seen on the sides and back of this creature as well, this time a red flame like pattern can be seen. A quick series of flashes is seen from the corridor and the sound of the alarm is silenced followed by the sounds of machinery starting up again. The smaller creature exits the structure shortly after, using its tail to hit the panel too close the doorway as it exits. Both creatures are now standing there staring at Frank and Rover, not looking too happy.
The smaller of the two creatures standing in front of Frank and Bimni turns too the larger one and lets out a series of barks, pops, clicks, and whistles which the larger one turns its head slightly towards it and gives off a purr sound. The smaller one stands up on it's hind legs and stretches up to rub it's nose on the chin of the larger one before dropping down too all 4 legs again and slipping behind the other. It quickly moves away from everyone and launches its self into the air with some visible effort, flying away on it's long thin wings.
"So what do you think Bimni? They don't seem like animals too me. Their actions seem a bit too civilized."; Frank says too Bimni, with a strange echo. "You think they are the ones who built this structure?"; Bimni responds with no echo from Rovers speaker. "I'm not sure. They might also be another species that found the structures already here."; Frank says with that odd echo again, while turning towards Rover. "I'm not sure."; is repeated in Franks voice. Frank freezes, looking around. Bimni also hears that, and has Rover turn completely around too scan the area. The creature in front of the structure has uncrossed it's front legs and is now standing less defensively with its head cocked too the side.
"I'm not sure."; is said again in Franks voice. This time it is definitely coming from the creature in front of the structure, as it tips its head too the other side. "Did it just copy your voice?"; Bimni asks, having turned Rover to face the creature again. "I think it did."; Frank responds, with no echo. Raising one of his hands up he points at himself and says; "Frank", then points at Rover and says; "Rover". Finally giving an open handed gesture towards the creature, he waits for a response. The creature seems to think about it for a bit and is about to give a response but suddenly turns it's head too the side as three more of the creatures fly in and land nearby.
One of the three that lands is the smaller one with green markings from earlier. Another is only slightly larger with blue markings that look like lightning, while the third is much larger. The largest of the three is even larger then the one standing in front of the structure. It has bright yellow flame markings on it's sides and tail and is carrying some sort of device. All three of them stand up on their hind legs shortly after landing and start talking to each other and the one that was there already quite heatedly. An unusual combination of different animal noises, mixed with pops, whistles, and barks and exchanged before the one at the structure stops and points at Frank and says; "Frank", then at Rover and says; "Rover" in a perfect imitation of Franks voice.
"Well, that settles it. If there was any doubt about intelligence..."; Bimni says after the obvious display. As soon as Bimni speaks, the largest of the beings taps a few times on the device it has and a projection appears above the device like a video screen. On this projected screen is the world they are standing on, seen from high orbit. The projection begins playing a video of sorts that shows a world lush with life. None of which has been seen anywhere. The video changes view, showing different versions of the 4 beings on different parts of the world, with cities and lots of advanced technology around them. Then the view changes again too high orbit where a powerful solar flare is shown flashing over the planet with several chunks of metalic asteroids being swept along with it.
The view changes again so the beings running in terror and crowding into bunkers and sturdy structures as asteroids rain down in fireballs, exploding high in the thick atmosphere. The sky turns flames as the atmosphere is ignited by the asteroids. The view changes again to a few survivors making their way out of bunkers to find a world flattened and burned empty. The view changes to high orbit again, but the view is getting closer too the planet as if what is giving the view is falling towards the planet. The lush planet appears burned barren and brown as the view goes static as the view source starts to burn up as well. Finally the view shifts too the few survivors giving up everything they have to build structures like the one in front of them as plants start to grow around the structures in slowly increasing circles. The 4 beings all turn too look at Rover and Frank while the one in front of the structure points at it then sweeps it's hands around at the general area.
Several days go by with the beings on the planet, soon known to call themselves Yeltarians, surprisingly quickly learning how to use the human language. Their own language involving implied meaning, and the sounds produced expressing that meaning instead of words. With the language barrier broken, the Yeltarians were able to fully explain what happened too their world. A massive solar flare had shattered the dieing inner planet of their system, flinging chunks of the planet outwards with the flare its self. Between the flare and the following planetary chunks, they had set the atmosphere ablaze, catastrophically altering the atmospheric composition. Most non aquatic life was decimated in the initial inferno while much more of the remaining life on the planet slowly dieing off from the atmospheric changes.
When the Yeltarian survivors finally left their bunkers, they found a world leveled by fire and chocked off by a nearly un-breathable atmosphere. Using all their advanced knowledge, the survivors hatched a plan to save both themselves and their world. A massive terraforming project over their entire planet. They built hundreds of terraforming machines around the world using every available scrap and surviving piece of technology they could find. Then to give their planet a chance to heal, they turned to their own culture and shifted it from a materialistic high tech one, to a minimalist druidic society. All this, just to save as much as they could of what life remained.
But the remaining biodiversity of their world is too low, and they continue to loose species to disease and failed genetic alterations. Their world will not last much longer with how few living things remain. Even their terraforming equipment is starting to fail. So this leaves them with only one hope, to find suitable life outside of their own world to balance the failing ecosystems. But, they had torn apart their only remaining spacecraft to build the equipment that sustains their world. And they have no way to rebuild them with all their technology regressed to the state it is in now.
They were also willing to explain their race as well. What had once been several different Yeltarian races, had all become one race after the cataclysm. They are of two different sexs, male and female, with the females being larger and stronger in general. While the males tend to be smaller and much lighter, but also faster and more maneuverable in flight. They also explained the meaning of the markings on their bodies. The color doesn't mean as much, but the pattern shows which of the two divergent genetic traits are active in their bodies. All Yeltarians have the genetics to use an organic fire through the production of alcohol in their bodies, and bio-electrics generated by specialized cells in their bodies. But only one of the two genetic traits ever manifests due to a special gene that randomly activates one trait genetic while blocking the other trait genetics when they reach maturity.
"So, would you be willing to help us out? Take one of us with you to help search for compatible life in the depths of space? Too save our dieing world?"; The leader of the local Yeltarians asks Frank and Bimni. "This is our only chance since we are unwilling to give up our dieing world. Our, Yeltomar."

2024.05.22 04:01 FatalisticBunny A Mood for Merriment (Open to High Hermitage)

There was some event, although nobody was quite certain what it was, in the first place. If you were to ask five different people what we were meant to celebrate, you would get somewhere in the ballpark of a dozen answers. Some mentioned that it might be the anniversary of when Nymeria set out, and some when she landed, or when Garin marched to war. A few mentioned it might have been the ship burning, though that tended to be conflated with the second of the previous.
There were a few other, more out there suggestions. That it was the day the Doom fell upon the wretched slavers of Valyria, or the day when Nymeria wed Nymor. Some suggested that it was actually the Smith's Day, although this last one was actually demonstrably untrue, as many of the septons in attendance suggested. Such a thing was clearly listed somewhere in the Seven Pointed Star, although not all those who were celebrating had the ability to read it.
Nevertheless, there was some cause for celebration, and it had stricken the smallfolk near High Hermitage. Bakers sold bread on the corner, and little wooden skewers of roasted meat, as well as occasional bits of honeyed fruit. There were streamers, and the occasional costumes, dancers and singers. Some of the aforementioned holy men and women had taken to the street to preach, and children could be found playing games all over. All about there were smiles and cheer, although not all were happy with the lot they had been given. Such things could be put aside, at least.
There were more people about than usual, but perhaps that was for the festival. They certainly were not locals. They had come from all over Dorne, from the hills and the coasts and the sands and the dunes. The Orphans of Mother Rhoyne, Dorne's forgotten children. They had come out in numbers, bearing banners of all sorts of bright colors and symbols.
There was always cheer where they went, because whilst they stood, this was not a town of Westeros. This was a place of Dorne, where any Reachman or Stormlander who overreached would be met with sharp rebuke. It meant that there was a place where incest and butchery could be rightly condemned, and where the sons of slavers were mocked, not celebrated.
Bors was about, quaffing an ale and chatting with anyone who approached. Not many did, but some did on occasion, though he welcome them warmly when they did. Ynys, instead, was after coin. She had a tongue on her, and a penchant for getting after what she wanted. It was a costly business, defending a nation, and these were the sorts who wanted it defended. Quentyn was lingering about, darting from conversation. Not particularly active, though perhaps he was looking for someone.
Perros duelled the Bastard of Hellholt, Symon Sand, over a game of darts, whilst Mel offered disparaging comments about any given toss or throw. Elia was three honeyed apples deep, and half a cup deep of hippocras. Nym was patiently listening as a group of children explained increasingly opaque children's games to her. Jeyne, meanwhile, was watching as a group of mummers performed a play that could be described as "strikingly anti-Targaryen."
But beyond those specifics, in the ways of men and women, there were a great many opportunities for fun and mischief alike. The Orphans of the Mother Rhoyne spared little, in terms of celebration, and they intended to make things a very memorable night.

2024.05.22 03:59 Contactunderground A Contact Underground Analysis of James Iandoli’s Interview with a Former Senior CIA Manager.

J. Burkes MD 2023
Mr. James Semivan is a cool kind of guy, educated, congenial, very charming in a down to earth way. This former high ranking CIA official had a CE-3 in his home 30 years ago. Jim has become a very important advocate for disclosure and as a senior "manager" for top secret programs, he may have even supervised clandestine UFO related projects. Definitely a smooth operator, Semivan’s self-effacing demeanor was probably a great asset as a CIA case officer. After all, his job was to get foreigners to betray their countries during the Cold War. I highly recommend this James Iandoli interview James Semivan.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxtL-sBhe30&t=219s

We should keep in mind however that, an organization like the CIA doesn’t,

1. send agents into harm's way,

2. overthrow governments,

3. supervise the execution of thousands of Vietnamese (Vietcong) civilian leaders (Operation Phoenix),

4. engage in mind control experiments that poison but rarely kill civilians (MKULTRA), unless the CIA as an institution and its individual case officers, are heavily invested in control issues.
With these factors in mind, it is not surprising that James Semivan would object to what are called Close Encounters of the Third and Fourth Kinds. From his perspective as described in this lively interview, these bizarre encounters are forced interactions that violate personal sovereignty.

I imagine that the problem for Mr. Semivan, and the US ruling elites who control our government when it comes to alleged "alien abductions”, it is these “Others” and not the United States Executive Branch who are doing the “controlling.”

In my view, these strange encounters with non-human intelligences have been described as “angelic” or “demonic” visitations since the beginning of recorded history. I suspect, but certainly can't prove that Mr. Semivan, as a highly educated and intelligent analyst, understands that so-called alien “abductions” are probably an ancient phenomenon, and perhaps as such have passed a test of time indicating that they might not be so dangerous after all.

One of the salient take away lessons of the FREE Experiencer Survey was the remarkable changes in the worldview of Contact Experiencers as the result of their encounters.

2024.05.22 03:57 Contactunderground A Contact Underground Analysis of James Iandoli’s Interview with a Former Senior CIA Manager.

J. Burkes MD 2023
Mr. James Semivan is a cool kind of guy, educated, congenial, very charming in a down to earth way. This former high ranking CIA official had a CE-3 in his home 30 years ago. Jim has become a very important advocate for disclosure and as a senior "manager" for top secret programs, he may have even supervised clandestine UFO related projects. Definitely a smooth operator, Semivan’s self-effacing demeanor was probably a great asset as a CIA case officer. After all, his job was to get foreigners to betray their countries during the Cold War. I highly recommend this James Iandoli interview James Semivan.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxtL-sBhe30&t=219s

We should keep in mind however that, an organization like the CIA doesn’t,

1. send agents into harm's way,

2. overthrow governments,

3. supervise the execution of thousands of Vietnamese (Vietcong) civilian leaders (Operation Phoenix),

4. engage in mind control experiments that poison but rarely kill civilians (MKULTRA), unless the CIA as an institution and its individual case officers, are heavily invested in control issues.
With these factors in mind, it is not surprising that James Semivan would object to what are called Close Encounters of the Third and Fourth Kinds. From his perspective as described in this lively interview, these bizarre encounters are forced interactions that violate personal sovereignty.

I imagine that the problem for Mr. Semivan, and the US ruling elites who control our government when it comes to alleged "alien abductions”, it is these “Others” and not the United States Executive Branch who are doing the “controlling.”

In my view, these strange encounters with non-human intelligences have been described as “angelic” or “demonic” visitations since the beginning of recorded history. I suspect, but certainly can't prove that Mr. Semivan, as a highly educated and intelligent analyst, understands that so-called alien “abductions” are probably an ancient phenomenon, and perhaps as such have passed a test of time indicating that they might not be so dangerous after all.

One of the salient take away lessons of the FREE Experiencer Survey was the remarkable changes in the worldview of Contact Experiencers as the result of their encounters. They reported becoming more spiritual, but less religious, and more concerned about the environment and less about the accumulation of personal wealth. These non-human intelligences are appearing to an increasing number of people during a time of crises when we will either expand our rather limited human consciousness or suffer the consequences of not doing so.

In my judgment, the hundreds of thousands of “alien” encounters that have been documented represent a positive development that will hopefully facilitate the required spiritual transformations to make us better world citizens. I believe that one of two outcomes will likely result. Humanity will either acquire the wisdom to carry out a radical restructuring of society, one that will limit the effects of global warming and end war, or we will not reform our self-destructive ways. This will lead us to unparalleled disasters.

If the second path is taken and we don't undergo a spiritual transformation, then our civilization will possibly be stressed to the breaking point with runaway global warming. This will likely lead to endless wars, including nuclear ones, fought over dwindling material resources. We can anticipate migrations involving tens of millions roaming the planet attempting to survive.

2024.05.22 03:56 KangarooNo5171 Should I try to forgive my dad?

Warning, this is going to be a long one. I’m male in my early twenties. The events I will be referring to have been taking place for the last 10 years. As a child my mother worked and my father stayed home with us. My mother’s income as the soul bread winner made us upper middle class. When I was young, my dad was the best father a kid could have asked for. He used to entertain every child in the neighbourhood building luges, a basket ball court and skating rinks. i learned as an adult that my mother and him had made a deal that my father would return to work as an engineer, once I was in middle school. This never happened. My father, then started getting depressed and started lashing out at my brother and I regularly. my father never wanted to go back to work. He decided to start publicly supporting trump during the first trump election. This made no sense as we are Canadian. Over the coming years, he slowly became an obsessive, compulsive and aggressive, conspiracy theorist. He began to spend more and more of my mother’s money on ridiculous, extravagant things. He didn’t do anything around the house either. there wasn’t a day in my high school life, that my dad didn’t scream at all of us at the top of his lungs about government control. By the time I went to university, may father had changed completely. I went home as little as possible. My mother at this point, enduring 6 years of domestic abuse, finally asked for a divorce. My father then moved out. He lived with some people in their early 30’s, that he met at a protest of some sort. It was at this time, I finally came out as gay. as a child my parents to me that I could be whatever as long as I was happy. My catholic mom accepted me as always. However, my father freaked out when he heard the news. He told me that the government was controlling my brain. He thought at this point that we were all “projections, in a simulation. Here to test him and kill him, if need be.” in the times I’ve seen him since, I’ve heard him referring to me as a faggot to his siblings. My father turned to very regular use of hallucinogenic drugs. Eventually, my father got arrested during covid for assaulting a police officer, after an argument where he refused to put on a mask. This lead to some pretty public legal trials were he was sent for a psych evaluation at a psychiatric prison. at this time, he was staying at one of my grandmother’s property. Unbeknownst to my grandmother, his hippy friends were staying there with him as well. I went to the house, to clean up while he was incarcerated. The place was a disaster. His friends were growing magic mushrooms in my grandmother’s bedroom. I was furious. i decided call the police, giving them all of the drugs I found in the house and his friend’s and my dad’s names. He friends who had been arrested with him got an extra 6 months in jail. My mother began to speak regularly with him during this process. Near the end of the month, from the Internet and drug detox. He became to seem like his old self. That was until, he was notified of what I did. My father then called me and threatened to kill me. Telling me “I’ve met some pretty scary people in here. People who would kill someone for only 20k. Watch your fucking back”. i also received death threats from two of my dad’s siblings. All of this was happening while I was trying to write a physics degree. from here, my father spiralled farther and farther downward. Every time I’ve seen him since he has assaulted me physically. We were pretty well known in our city prior to all of this. The 4 years of my father’s legal trials and the articles that followed effected our standing. Eventually, I couldn’t go to the grocery store without having someone approach me about him. last year, my mother and I went away to celebrate my education being done for a weekend. My father needed a place to stay. My mother got him to dog sit. (They still weren’t legally divorced at this point. He had the right to stay there) I instructed him not to use the wood stove in the basement because I cleaned it out and both my and my moms allergies react to it. There was no reason to use it for eat as the 7000 square foot home had forced air, baseboard electric and an oil furnace as well. He got high, I’m assuming. He left a box of hard charcoals on a pile of wood, went to bed and burnt down the house by accident. It was the worst smoke damage the restoration company had ever seen. He destroyed everything my mother owned, and many of my brother and i’s belongings. my mother had very good insurance, they got more money for the home than it would have sold for. (The dogs got out safe btw) now, he brags about the money. he told us that we should be taking him. Two weeks later, his father, my grandfather, died. when he was in the hospital in palliative care, (my mother works here) my estranged father came in after promising to wear a face mask. He ended up getting into a screaming match with one of the nurses regarding wearing a mask. He had to be escorted out of the hospital. This is the hospital where my mother made the money to support his 10k a month credit card bill. That night, I stayed alone in the hospital room with my grandfather. i wanted him suffer two strokes and die. Then, at 3am, at had to go to my grandmother’s house alone to tell her that her husband of 60 years died. Later on, my father came to the funeral and put up a big scene about not getting to say goodbye to his father, crying at the funeral. All of this is to say that my father brought ALL OF THIS on himself.
In the last 6 months, my father has had a “change of heart and want to reconnect and mend relationships” my father called me, I decided to answer. I told him “I have 3 criteria for seeing you again: 1. him being cold to the touch 2. A sizeable inherence and 3. His casket open for me to piss inside.” I added that “all of this conspiracy crap started because he was too lazy to get a job. Your kids don’t want you in their lives. The best thing you could contribute to society is dropping dead to not waste any more oxygen.” Now, he has repeated his downward spiral. My mother, and extended family are blaming me for the this. They said I shouldn’t have said anything. through all of this my mother hasn’t said anything negative about him other than,”I could never trust anyone again after him. I’ll never date”. I don’t understand these people. I HATE him with every cell in my body. I fell asleep a lot of nights wishing that I would wake up to him dead. Now, I need to be nice so he can heal. I’ve been living with him like this for half of my life. honestly, I don’t even remember the person he used to be.
I spent tonight drinking 2 bottles of wine alone and decided to write this down. Sorry for grammar and legibly

Mr. James Semivan is a cool kind of guy, educated, congenial, very charming in a down to earth way. This former high ranking CIA official had a CE-3 in his home 30 years ago. Jim has become a very important advocate for disclosure and as a senior "manager" for top secret programs, he may have even supervised clandestine UFO related projects. Definitely a smooth operator, Semivan’s self-effacing demeanor was probably a great asset as a CIA case officer. After all, his job was to get foreigners to betray their countries during the Cold War. I highly recommend this James Iandoli interview James Semivan.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxtL-sBhe30&t=219s

We should keep in mind however that, an organization like the CIA doesn’t,

1. send agents into harm's way,

2. overthrow governments,

3. supervise the execution of thousands of Vietnamese (Vietcong) civilian leaders (Operation Phoenix),

4. engage in mind control experiments that poison but rarely kill civilians (MKULTRA), unless the CIA as an institution and its individual case officers, are heavily invested in control issues.
With these factors in mind, it is not surprising that James Semivan would object to what are called Close Encounters of the Third and Fourth Kinds. From his perspective as described in this lively interview, these bizarre encounters are forced interactions that violate personal sovereignty.

I imagine that the problem for Mr. Semivan, and the US ruling elites who control our government when it comes to alleged "alien abductions”, it is these “Others” and not the United States Executive Branch who are doing the “controlling.”

In my view, these strange encounters with non-human intelligences have been described as “angelic” or “demonic” visitations since the beginning of recorded history. I suspect, but certainly can't prove that Mr. Semivan, as a highly educated and intelligent analyst, understands that so-called alien “abductions” are probably an ancient phenomenon, and perhaps as such have passed a test of time indicating that they might not be so dangerous after all.

One of the salient take away lessons of the FREE Experiencer Survey was the remarkable changes in the worldview of Contact Experiencers as the result of their encounters. They reported becoming more spiritual, but less religious, and more concerned about the environment and less about the accumulation of personal wealth. These non-human intelligences are appearing to an increasing number of people during a time of crises when we will either expand our rather limited human consciousness or suffer the consequences of not doing so.

In my judgment, the hundreds of thousands of “alien” encounters that have been documented represent a positive development that will hopefully facilitate the required spiritual transformations to make us better world citizens. I believe that one of two outcomes will likely result. Humanity will either acquire the wisdom to carry out a radical restructuring of society, one that will limit the effects of global warming and end war, or we will not reform our self-destructive ways. This will lead us to unparalleled disasters.

If the second path is taken and we don't undergo a spiritual transformation, then our civilization will possibly be stressed to the breaking point with runaway global warming. This will likely lead to endless wars, including nuclear ones, fought over dwindling material resources. We can anticipate migrations involving tens of millions roaming the planet attempting to survive. If our existing civilization is shattered, then we will be reduced to barbarism with hundreds of millions dying unnecessarily.

It is my hope that responsible leaders will emerge who will see spiritual transformation as a necessary international security issue and not follow the fearful interpretations of alien contacts that Jim Semivan and so many others are presenting.

I suspect, but certainly can't prove that Mr. Semivan, as a highly educated and intelligent analyst, understands that so-called alien “abductions” are probably an ancient phenomenon, and perhaps as such have passed a test of time indicating that they might not be so dangerous after all.

One of the salient take away lessons of the FREE Experiencer Survey was the remarkable changes in the worldview of Contact Experiencers as the result of their encounters. They reported becoming more spiritual, but less religious, and more concerned about the environment and less about the accumulation of personal wealth. These non-human intelligences are appearing to an increasing number of people during a time of crises when we will either expand our rather limited human consciousness or suffer the consequences of not doing so.

In my judgment, the hundreds of thousands of “alien” encounters that have been documented represent a positive development that will hopefully facilitate the required spiritual transformations to make us better world citizens. I believe that one of two outcomes will likely result. Humanity will either acquire the wisdom to carry out a radical restructuring of society, one that will limit the effects of global warming and end war, or we will not reform our self-destructive ways. This will lead us to unparalleled disasters.

If the second path is taken and we don't undergo a spiritual transformation, then our civilization will possibly be stressed to the breaking point with runaway global warming. This will likely lead to endless wars, including nuclear ones, fought over dwindling material resources. We can anticipate migrations involving tens of millions roaming the planet attempting to survive. If our existing civilization is shattered, then we will be reduced to barbarism with hundreds of millions dying unnecessarily.

It is my hope that responsible leaders will emerge who will see spiritual transformation as a necessary international security issue and not follow the fearful interpretations of alien contacts that Jim Semivan and so many others are presenting.

The blog linked directly below is a detailed analysis of the reasons for 75 years of denial of the reality of UFOs. Flying Saucers threaten our planet's elites, but not the Earth's people.

You can’t control a person who wants “no thing.” I suspect that Flying Saucer Intelligences are feared by our planet’s elites because they can’t be controlled by the usual methods applied to the general population. If we start to identify, not with things and thought forms, but rather with universal consciousness, then ultimately, we cannot be controlled either.

Confirmation rather than the big “D” Disclosure is likely the next step in the authority’s gradual acclimatization program. The possibilities of linking flying saucers to solutions for major terrestrial problems is discussed.

If flying saucer intelligences threaten all terrestrial elites, but not necessarily the Earth’s people, then it is understandable that governmental response to UFOs is a counterintelligence one.

2024.05.22 03:47 Live_Barracuda1113 Update... falling sodium levels

Hello
I posted a few days ago about my mother and her weird labs.
Doctor is concerned about falling sodium, but also about increased (potential fluid) weight she was on Bumex and Spironolactone but they are cutting the bumex for two weeks and going to redo her bmp blood work.
The anemia is still problematic and we are sort of at an impass right now. The things that would help her anemia will also slow down her blood flow and their could be a nefarious 3rd cause. So we watch and see. My mother seems unconcerned, and I'm left to respect that.
I know this seems cold reading it; however, my mother and myself are rather stoic and pragmatic.

2024.05.22 03:45 deebug96 TV shows and laugh tracks, why is it funny?

Growing up, my dad watched a lot of Seinfeld. And most people I know watch How I Met Your Mother, Everybody Loves Raymond, King of Queens, Friends, Frieser, and the like. I don't find the shows funny at all and find the repeative use of laugh tracks annoying. Why? I don't understand it at all. What makes this long running Sitcoms so great? Is the laugh tracks suppose to make you laugh or que you to laugh?

2024.05.22 03:36 MerryCostco 31 [M] Louisville/US - Looking for my player 2!

Good evening from Kentucky! I’m Jisoo, a Chicago native who landed here a year ago. While I cherish my Midwest roots and Korean heritage, I’m looking forward to relocating for work within the next few years. Kentucky’s charming, but the dating scene here isn’t quite my speed.
My height is 5'9, and I weigh about 165 lbs. I maintain an active lifestyle despite a recent back injury. I am shifting from daily double workouts to focus on cardio, and I plan to reintegrate weight training once I fully recover.
I’m a culinary enthusiast who can whip up a mean feast across various cuisines—Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and my specialty, BBQ. My two smokers are my pride, especially during brisket season; it is a bit pricey but worth every bite.
Travel sparks joy for me. This year’s plans include a nostalgic trip to Korea and an adventure to Japan, which might involve a lot of pointing and hand gestures. I have friends going with me to Japan, and I hope to see them using A LOT of hand gestures, too!
When not cooking or planning my next trip, I’m either getting my hands dirty in my new garden, working out, or enjoying people-watching at local spots, and I am always up for a chat with a stranger.
I also have a dog named Aloy. She's an Australian Kelpie (picture on my other post) and super active. I have to walk her for at least 30 minutes in the morning and evening.
If this post piqued your interest, I'd love to chat about other things! I prefer to talk to someone my age or below!
