Truth or dare dirty questions online

Curious to know how often that’s actually the truth or it’s just a line?
My ex said he wanted me in his life as a friend, but now I’m questioning if we were ever friends and if he’s trying to make himself feel less guilty for being ‘the dumper’

Recently a guy added me on Snapchat. Against better judgement, I accepted and asked, “Do I know you?” I didn’t recognize his username or bitmoji at all. Now, I have made this ‘random’ account for advice.
He told me we had spoke on Reddit (another account of mine) and I thought, “Oh! I remember talking to guy about television on a group.” I assumed it was him and continued the conversation. Neither of us realized for a couple of minutes that our meeting was a “misunderstanding.”
He then proceeded to talk about his NSFW interests on Reddit and believed that I was the name he was talking to (because her Reddit name and my Snapchat name are similar.) When I asked why he didn’t just speak to her through Reddit he told me that she had deactivated her account. I was weirded out, but he seemed like a decent man so I kept talking to him for a bit, letting him subtly know that I wasn’t interested in his NSFW content or topics as much as he wanted to bring it up. He said he was old enough to be my father but lied about his age— told me one thing, his Reddit said another. Both quite a bit older than I am. I should’ve known this would happen because I grew up watching documentaries and hearing stories. I never thought I’d be involved in something like this, y’know?
He asked about my clothing, to see my face, all in subtle ways at first, “out of curiosity.” He even asked about my home life and my relationships. I answered in generic ways. “Oh yeah, I’m eighteen. Still in Highschool. Dad is around.” Those questions and answers. Sooner than I realized, he indulged in more suggestive questions. I felt so uncomfortable. The guy I liked and what I do with him, my friends at school and how they dress and act. “They aren’t as mature as you. You’re such a good girl.” Kept trying to tell him to stop and that I just wanted someone to talk to. He hasn’t stopped.
He makes suggestive jokes. Tells me about his adult interests. Said I’m vulnerable. Calls me innocent and pure and a sweetheart, says I’m the nicest girl he has talked to. He likes that I’m still in Highschool but legally not a minor. Told me his fantasies regarding not quite legal girls and how much of a perv he knows that he is. It’s like I can’t shake him. He knows my name and the region of where I live. He comments on all of my other account’s posts and his history has very disgusting, dirty comments towards other women.
I figured out where he lives because he accidentally turned on his location on Snap. Out of my state. I know about his education and the generics of his current job. I know his Instagram but blocked it a few times. I don’t know what to do. I can barely sleep. I wake up in sweats questioning if I was wrong. I was being immature, looking for some attention in our first conversations. I don’t think that I was asking for ANY of this, was I?
I’m hoping that he doesn’t find my address. I don’t think he will since my location is off and he doesn’t have any other social that would tell him so. He knows details about me from my posts and what I told him about my life which wasn’t ever too detailed. This is more like online harassment than stalking I suppose. I feel like I kind of know more about him than he does me but I’m worried. I haven’t read over this so I hope that I explained the situation well, didn’t know who else or where else to turn to.

The position of atheism, as explained in the show and others like it, is the position of not accepting the claim that a god exists. So atheists do not say there is not god, which would be a positive position, but rather they reject the assertion that there is a god, generally on insufficient evidence. Obviously there are thousands of subtle flavors of atheist, but I believe this is a fair summation of at least what I have heard on the show and on Atheist experience.
My question is this: I am an atheist, but I have no problem going that extra step and saying there is no god, and I am curious as to why hosts of the show seem reluctant to take that (to my mind) small extra step).
Yes, obviously the instant rebuttal is 'But can you prove 100% that no god exists', to which the answer normally (and truthfully) is, no I cannot. But my answer is, that's not a reasonable position to take. Even without going down the rabbit hole of solipsism, there is very little that I can prove 100%, so perhaps that should not be the standard by which we assess the value of our positions.
I cannot prove that my car or my next driving trip will be 100% safe, but I am still willing to risk my life and that of my children on the NIGH certainty that we will be safe and arrive alive.
We say things all say that we are NIGH certain of, without the ability to prove, absolutely and without possibility of failure in any way, that they are true.
I would never say that I reject the proposition of Santa Claus existing, I would say there is no Santa Claus, with confidence, even though I cannot absolutely 100% prove it. And I see no contradiction there.
So why is the bar for atheist statement about no god existing raised to this standard? I believe I can demonstrate (though arguments you all know and use on the show frequently) that no god exists to a practically acceptable level of certainty, on par with every other 'certainty' we surround ourselves with in every debate on any subject, which falls short of 100% unquestionable certainty.
So I am genuinely curious why many people and this community and hosts are unwilling to take that (to me) tiny extra step?

Together, Pale and Kayla dragged the mage back to the cave they'd been using for shelter, barely managing to get him inside before the snowfall began again. Pale tied his hands behind his back and his legs together using some paracord she had in her pack, and the two of them stood over the man, staring down at him.
"What now?" Kayla asked. "Do we wait for him to-"
Pale cut her off by bringing the stock of her shotgun across the berserker's face. He reeled from the strike, suddenly catapulting awake, his eyes wide as several of his teeth came spilling out across the stone cave floor. He coughed, spitting out a glob of blood before fixing her with a harsh glare. Smoke began to rise from his palms, but Pale stopped him by putting the barrel of her gun flush with his crotch.
"Unless you want to lose something, I'd suggest keeping your magic under control," she threatened. "Because if I pull this trigger, there isn't a healer alive who'll be able to give back what you'll lose."
The man snarled at her, but the smoke curling up from his hands stopped all the same. He spat out more blood. "The fuck am I still alive for?"
"I think you know exactly what you're alive for. Now, are you going to play nice and tell us what we want to know, or am I going to have to force it out of you piece by piece?"
The mage grinned at her, showing off a mouth full of missing teeth and liquid crimson. "You really think I'd betray my brothers like that?"
"Last I checked, your brothers are all dead," Pale said absentmindedly. "But still, I was hoping you'd pick the hard way; I needed to relieve some stress."
She let her shotgun hang from its sling, then drew her knife. With her free hand, she grabbed one of his fingers, then positioned the blade at the tip.
"Last chance to offer up what you know," she threatened.
The mage barked out a laugh. "Fuck off. You really think I'd ever-"
His bravado suddenly gave way to an agonized scream as Pale forced the blade of her knife underneath his fingernail. He thrashed in agony as she twisted the knife before roughly yanking it free, taking the fingernail with it. She held the disembodied nail up to him, then flicked it away.
"Have I made my point?" she said evenly. "Because last I checked, you've still got nine fingers and ten toes, not to mention a variety of other things I could poke at and prod at and cut off. And when you run out of those, I can just start skinning you bit by bit."
"Fuck you…" he breathed through gritted teeth. "I'll never-"
She took another fingernail for his troubles. Idly, Pale was aware of Kayla flinching with every scream that erupted out of the man's throat, but that didn't bother her.
Kayla had specified no death, but that didn't mean she couldn't make this hurt like hell.
She again positioned the knife at one of his fingertips, only for him to give a weak, shuddering, pain-filled cough.
"W-wait…" he croaked.
"I see your tongue has been thoroughly loosened," she surmised, though she didn't dare to move the blade even a millimeter away from his next finger.
"What do you have for me?"
"I can give you our leader's name."
"And?"
"What do you mean, and? He doesn't tell us anything, he just pays us and feeds us, like any good leader should."
Pale's expression narrowed. "You had better give me something more substantial to go on, otherwise I have no reason to keep you around."
"Pale-" Kayla began, only to fall silent when she held up a hand. Reluctantly, Kayla backed down, though she continued to look on with concern as Pale's grip around her blade turned white-knuckled.
"Tell me something useful," Pale demanded. "Unless you want to see exactly how much pain I can commit to before I get bored."
"Okay, okay!" the bandit growled. "Fine… our leader's name is Sven Greymane, the warrior-king of the northern isles. He's the one who ordered us to attack certain towns on this continent."
"Is that why you sacked some and completely bypassed others?"
He nodded. "Yes. That was all part of the plan – he'd give us locations to attack, pay us in gold and food to attack them, and then let us keep whatever valuables we wanted afterwards."
"And did he tell you why he only wanted specific locations attacked, while others were to be spared?"
The mage shook his head. "No, and we knew better than to ask questions given how good of a deal it was."
Kayla suddenly stepped forwards. "One of those towns was my village," she growled. "Your friends captured several people, including my father, and took them back to the northern isles."
The mage leaned in, squinting to get a better look at her, before finally shrugging. "I don't know anything about that."
"Liar," Pale hissed.
"It's the truth. I wasn't involved with the attack on any Beastkin town."
"Of course, you'd say that," Kayla said through gritted teeth. "You're worried about what will happen to you if you admit to us here and now that you had something to do with it."
"Don't know what else to tell you. I had nothing to do with the attack on you and yours, and I didn't take any Beastkin slaves."
"Enough of this," Pale snapped. "How long do we have to find her father?"
The bandit cracked a wide grin at her. "You're probably already too late. If the girl's father is anything like her, then he's already been deemed to be useless as a slave – too mouthy for his own good, and mouthy slaves don't last very long among my people."
A vein pulsed in Kayla's forehead as she clenched and unclenched her fists. "Answer the question," she demanded. "Assuming he isn't murdered before we can get there, how long do slaves typically last while with your people?"
"Depends on the slave. Men tend to last longer, provided they're young enough and in good health. Of course, he was taken in the first place, so I assume that someone saw some value in him, at least enough to want him for themselves. Now, that only accounts for a berserker warrior having a bad day and killing someone as a result. If he's unlucky, he'll succumb to the elements before long." The mage shrugged. "It wouldn't make any sense for us to spend all that time capturing and enslaving someone only to let them die so soon, unless they just so happened to be a massive pain in the ass."
"So you claim," Pale said dismissively. "What else do you have for us?"
"I've told you enough," the man grunted. "Now hurry up and let me go."
"And why would I do that?" Pale demanded. "So you can go back to robbing and killing the innocent? Is your life really worth the lives of the people you'd kill if we let you go?"
"It is to her." He motioned towards Kayla, who was staring at him and trembling as she bit her lip, deep in thought.
Pale's eyes narrowed. "Kayla."
Kayla jumped slightly at the sound of her name being called. She hesitated for a moment before letting out a sigh. "...You should let him go."
"You know I can't do that, Kayla. If we let him go, he'll just go right back to doing what brought him here. Either we end this here and now and prevent him from taking more innocent lives, or he goes on for however long it takes for someone else to put him down."
"I know!" Kayla spat. "It's just… I don't know what to do… I don't want to be responsible for someone's death like this…"
"I understand that, but this is war," Pale insisted. "Death is an unavoidable part of that."
"What do you mean, war?" Kayla asked, horrified at the prospects of what Pale had just suggested. "You… you really are a soldier, aren't you? That's why you're doing this – it's a chance to do what you were made to do…"
"War is in my nature," Pale insisted. "It is why I was created. You are correct that this is a chance to fulfill my prime directive, but not in the way that you think." She turned her gaze back towards the bandit. "I need to get off this planet and back into the war I left behind before it's too late to save my creators. If killing this man will get me there faster, then I will not hesitate to do that."
"But… you can't know that killing him will help with that," Kayla pointed out. "He's just one man…"
"Every second spent debating his existence is one not spent working towards my ultimate goal. I ask for your input on what to do with him because I value your opinion as my ally, and do not wish to alienate you by leaving you out of major decisions such as that, but that does not mean I will not try to make you see reason when I think you are about to make a terrible decision." Pale sheathed her knife and hefted her shotgun. "You are concerned with the loss of innocent life, yes? Well, letting me kill this man will save an untold number of them. Is his life really worth all of theirs?"
"You can't think of it that way! He's still a person, too!"
"He is," Pale agreed. "But as far as I am concerned, his right to life is now forfeit, as he used it to torture and murder other people."
The bandit suddenly burst out laughing. "Listen to you two! You're honestly debating whether or not to take a life. How quaint, not to mention innocent. Consider me entertained."
Pale bashed him with the stock of her gun once more, knocking a few more of his teeth out in the process. As he coughed on blood and bone shards, she turned back to Kayla.
"See reason in this," she implored. "Letting him live means-"
"I know!" Kayla interrupted. Her wolf ears flattened against her skull, and in a quieter voice, she repeated, "...I know."
Her tail lashed behind her, and finally, she shook her head. "...I was willing to fight for you," she said softly. "I tried to convince you that you weren't just a killing machine – that you had a sjel, and that it was worth something. And maybe I was right. But even if I was… even if you're not just a killing machine… you seem dead-set on trying to be one. And if that's what you want, then who am I to stop you? Do what you want with him, Pale; after all, it's what you were programmed to do."
Kayla turned and marched out of the cave. Pale watched her go, waiting until she was completely gone before acting.
A single gunshot split the night.

[TW + marked NSFW for mention of SA]
Making this post because lots of people are still actively spreading misinformation and lies about Hyuna's boyfriend, Junhyung, and it's harmful in many ways, because as opposed to what many people think and tell, the investigation concluded that Junhyung never shared SA videos or received SA videos, or hidden camera videos, or sex-tapes, and that he was never part of the JJY group chats.
Jong Joonyoung (JJY)'s group chats in which hidden camera videos were shared without the consent of the girls (molka) and the Burning Sun scandal are two different things, but JJY's group chat was discovered through the Burning Sun investigation (2019). If you want to learn about it, the BBC has just released a documentary on Burning Sun, JJY & the molka chatrooms are also adressed in it. (You can already note that JJY & Junhyung's names are pretty close, therefore lots of people mistaked them when the news of his relationship with Hyuna came out in January. There were enough people to clarify that and make it clear that JJY ≠ Junhyung though, but not so many know what was actually Junhyung's part and are therefore still spreading misleading information.)
When SBS's '8'O'Clock News' news first shared screenshots of messages JJY and other idols had exchanged in the chatrooms, Junhyung's message was added and edited, which made it seem like he was part of the groupchats when he wasn't.
In 2015, he was sent one video by JJY (1-1) that was not a sex-tape but a video of a girl taken in a pub in which he (JJY) was touching her (or she was touching him) (no nudity or intercourse in the video), the video was made with her consent but was not sent with her consent. This is the video he's talking about in his statement about leaving Highlight, and the video he made crude comments about. There are no other videos.
(see first line of the table: kbs court documents translation*, he is not mentioned again *original article link)
He later on received a message from JJY that was something like "I got caught sending the video", to which Junhyung replied "You got caught by her? (the girl from the video)" (that's the message that was edited by SBS that made it seem like he was part of the groupchats), and didn't report him.
I'm adding a part of a comment of another redditor that went through the case's files, as it sums up things well: "[...] The video in question was of JJY engaged in making out with a woman in a bar and that she put her hand on a "certain part of his anatomy". The police transcript went on to say that the video was taken with the woman's knowledge and consent, but she did not consent to having it shared. There was no nudity or intercourse shown in the video. I don't know if Yong Junhyung knew it was sent without the woman's consent. The transcript did not reveal what the text of the messages about the video said, however Yong Junhyung has said he feels embarrassed and ashamed about what he said in response to receiving this video. So no doubt it was something douchy, but not necessarily worse than what you would expect guys texting about such a video would be. There is no evidence in the transcripts to suggest that Yong Junhyung knew that women were being [SA'd] or that illegal videos were being made and shared. The video he received was not exactly something you could take to the police as its not illegal to make out in a bar."
He did not go to jail and wasn't sentenced, he was called in as a witness and fully cooparated with the police, left his group to atone and protect Highlight from the backlash.
Also Junhyung is NOT the guy (Choi Jong Bum) that abused and blackmailed Goo Hara back in 2018/2019. Junhyung and Hara dated for about 2 years in 2011, anyone claiming he abused her is making things up (according to official sources, Junhyung was a supportive boyfriend who helped Hara through some hard times, and the two ended things amicably and decided to remain friends).
I've seen people on Twitter, on Reddit, on Youtube, in Hyuna's comments section, calling him a rapist, saying he was involved in 'non-consensual gang bangs', watched 'SA videos of young girls', is a 'sex traffickant', 'sex criminal' or that he admitted "watching SA videos", and to what we know by the investigation that was led, that is NOT TRUE.
That's for the actual facts, please do not spread misinformation and don't buy in everything you read. You're free not to support their relationship but spreading lies is not ok.
more sources: Statement from Around Us Ent. before Junhyung left HIGHLIGHT (before clarification): "Hello, this is Around Us Ent. We are writing in regards to the news of the reveal of singer Jung Joon Young’s KakaoTalk chatroom, which was reported on SBS’s ‘8 O’Clock News’ on March 11, 2019. We are aware that people are saying that Highlight member Yong Junhyung is the ‘Singer Yong’ that is shown in the contents of the conversation from the group chatroom with illegal hidden camera footage that was revealed on the news. Yong Junhyung has no connection to the filming or sharing of illegal videos. Also, Yong Junhyung has never been in a chatroom where Jung Joon Young’s illegal hidden camera videos were shared. In addition to that, we have confirmed that he has never been in any group chatroom at all with Jung Joon Young. We directly confirmed with Yong Junhyung after the news report and found out that conversation that was shared in the news was originally the content of a one-on-one conversation between Jung Joon Young and Yong Junhyung. Previously in 2016 [actually 2015 but Around Us Ent. didn't have this information at the moment, cf Junhyung's declaration coming after] when Jung Joon Young was having a hard time due to a personal matter, Yong Junhyung asked him what was happening. Jung Joon Young replied ‘I got caught taking a video and sending it [the message included symbols for laughter],” and [Yong Junhyung] asked in return, ‘You mean you were caught by the woman?’ In regards to the simulated group chatroom screenshot that was shared in the news, we plan to verify with SBS News about the authenticity. [...]" referring to the fact that in the screenshots first shared by SBS, it made it seem like he was part of the chatroom
Junhyung's declaration when leaving Highlight: "Hello, this is Yong Jun-hyung. First, I sincerely apologize to the members and all fans who have had a hard time because of me these past few days. After the SBS 8 o'clock news on the 11th, I received a call from the company to check the facts. At that time, I didn't understand the point well and only conveyed that I wasn't in [the] group chat. Therefore, the company, taking my side, officially stated that the report was not accurate, but it was based on the wrong information I provided. In the process of preparing the official statement with the company, I mentioned that the incident was in 2016 because the conversation with Jung Joon-young wasn't saved in my KakaoTalk, so I couldn't accurately check the date at that time. I apologize for adding to everyone's confusion on this as well.
Regarding the KakaoTalk content from late 2015 reported in the news, the conversation with Jung Joon-young was after we drank together the previous day. He told me about an incident (being caught sharing illegal video recording), and I replied, "You got caught by the girl?" I did not receive that video at that time, but I did receive one on a different occasion. In addition, I had inappropriate conversations regarding it. All these actions were extremely immoral, and I was foolish. I failed to recognize this as a crime and illegal behavior, and was complacent about it, and I regret not firmly stopping it.
Yesterday, I went for a reference person investigation related to this issue. I spoke truthfully about everything I knew and cooperated with the investigation. While receiving the witness interview, I saw exactly what conversations I had in the past, and I felt indescribably ashamed and [horrified/regretful].
I have never engaged in illegal acts like taking or spreading hidden camera videos. Since the end of 2016, my relationship with Jung Joon-young was just occasionally asking about each other's well-being. However, knowing about it, I thought and acted too easily and carelessly, being an onlooker to this serious issue that could've led to more victims.
I'm truly sorry for betraying the trust of the members and fans who believed in me, failing to reciprocate the love given to me. I realize the severity of this matter, and I do not want any further harm to be done to my fans and members who must have been disappointed because of me, so I will leave the group Highlight as of March 14, 2019. I will live while reflecting on myself again and again. I apologize sincerely once again."

I’m currently a prison guard and my facility is very understaffed so I’ve been having to do a lot of over time, either from working over, going in early, working one of my days off, and also trying to do some computer based training that I have to be done with before summer is over.
When I’m at home, I try and give my wife some time to relax and not worry about the house stuff and the kids. I’m doing dishes, laundry (we have to go to a laundromat because our apartment doesn’t have a hook up for a washer and dryer), getting the kids ready for school, cooking the meals, cleaning the floors, the carpets, the bathrooms, feeding and watering the cats, cleaning the litter box, taking the garbage out, and also taking care of whatever hair up her ass project she comes up with that usually involves me moving furniture around.
I rarely get to do anything that I want to do to relax anymore. I love the video game Sea of Thieves, it’s my current favorite game that I want to play for hours on end. That’s mainly because it takes a minimum of two hours to be able to have any sort of progress. My wife asked if I wanted to get Game Pass back so I can play online again, and I told her not to worry about it since I don’t have time to play anymore. Before I even said anything I had told her I wasn’t complaining, I’m just pointing out that it’s just the truth.
Not even an hour later it’s getting thrown in my face that I’m complaining about not having time to do anything else but housework. I’m just so tired. I haven’t felt relaxed in weeks. My legs and feet are killing me, they’re just constantly burning.
I’ve put myself in this situation and I’m not going to be leaving my wife or anything like that before I get any comments like that, so shush. I’m just wanting to vent and help myself get some of these thoughts out of my head.

Hello everyone, I am a mature man, I am married and have children, since I was young I have helped my family with everything, before I had good jobs and I always helped them with money that they asked of me, I gave a monthly salary to my brothers who already They were married, I defended my sister because they treated her as a prostitute, I even hit and threatened my wife when I found out that my brother-in-law helped my sister abort a child she had from an affair, in addition to defending the accusations of sexual harassment of my brother and saved him from big problems.
Then I found out that everything I defended as a lie was true, I was always on the wrong side and even my brothers stole large amounts of money from me with deception, I paid for the education of my sister's children and grandson and now they say that I have not given nothing. I also improved my mother's house and now they say that they did it, and I didn't do anything when I spent money and worked for it. Even my sister's husband attacked me and filed charges against me, his son is a police officer and he issued a restraining order against me and also against my family and my children, my sister lives with my mother and having this order does not I can go visit her because the moment I get close I'm going to jail for violating the restraining order.
Now they are complaining to me for not going to see her, I have not seen her since the pandemic, but I have that order and how they want me to go, in addition to the fact that they have spread terrible things about me and my wife and children, they have said that I am the worst, they blame to my wife that I have cut them off, they say that my son is a drug addict and crazy because he has defended the truth and has called them out for their bad actions, and my daughter who has suffered more because my brother sexually harassed her when she was a child has said that she provoked my brother, that she seduced him as a girl.
Furthermore, my mother was the instigator of all their bad actions, she taught them to be parasites and live at the expense of others, she instilled in them the fact that those who have a little more money and opportunities have the obligation to support them, that is, I have the obligation to maintain them because they are not accustomed to being maintained. They are all against me and spread lies to harm me, even when I see them they don't dare to face me and leave, my sister's daughters see me as the worst trash in the world and my mother only complains that it is wrong and tired because all my brothers go to her house to ask her for money or favors, also my maternal aunts support my mother in everything she says, but they don't give her money because my mother gives everything to my brothers and takes care of my niece who doesn't have work and lied that he was about to graduate from university when in reality he had left the university because he was lazy (he had failed many subjects), my sexual harasser brother is in hiding although no one has reported him (justice in my country is only for those who have money and contacts, not for the common people).
Am I wrong and damned for not going to visit my mother and breaking up with my entire family?

The only place I could escape to is my mom's house two hours away, but both she and my brother living with her are narcissist alcoholics and my brother is emotionally abusive, toxic and explosive just like my husband. It would be one poisonous environment to another. I have no friends to stay with and I'm unemployed with no saavings so I can't find another apartment. Our lease ends next March. I called my local DV but they only have 30 day emergency housing and I refuse to leave my cat behind fearing for his safety.
Please don't call me stupid or anything for this but I believe that my husband loves me he's just such a toxic person. 90% of the time he's nice and puts in the effort which turned into a huge emotional dependence on him. He just explodes when anything happens that bothers him. Including me asking reassurance questions from time to time about him checking out other women on social media because he cheated online in the beginning of the relationship which left me paranoid because he kept it hidden, I was the one who found out after we got married. He yelled at me coming home in a bad mood one day because I was depressed and he threatened divorce even though I did nothing wrong. He has thrown things, punched walls, hurt himself, threatened divorce multiple times over my paranoia, and yelled at me to STFU on several ocassions... the fights are rare now but they still haunt me deeply.
I could seek a PFA but he's been suicidal and has no respect for the law and I do not trust a piece of paper to keep him from stalking me, vandalizing my car, or trying to break into the apartment where I'd be looking over my shoulder until next March.
I just want to be free of this nightmare but all I can think to do is try to hold it together until I get employed and can find a new apartment next year... how have the rest of you managed to survive when leaving right away wasn't an option?

TW/ sexual assault and physical abuse
Today I pushed my mom- I feel terrible about it. Especially because I love her so much and I’m so appreciative of her
I’ll make this short. I grew up in a verbally, psychologically and physically abusive home. And I have some sexual trauma as a child as well. I was abused by my dad and also harbored anger towards my mother for allowing to happen continuously
I have Lyme disease and had to move home this year. I met this guy outside the condo and he said he had a TBI. The next day he came to my door and asked if I wanted to walk and I told him no! Found it very weird and uncomfortable and wanted to establish boundaries. I told my mom he came by but I didn’t walk with him because I was tired.
The next two days he came by and my mom answered the door. She knew it was him and that he was probably there to see me but just opened the door. She starts talking and tells him that “we” are available for a walk. I felt violated bc there wasn’t any consent with opening the door or volunteering me. She goes on to say she doesn’t want to go. I’m left alone with a person we barely know that gave me an extremely bad vibe
The walk was uncomfortable and he asked me about my age, if I had a bf, If my dad was in the house and if I wanted to go into his house to see his cat and the back of his house to talk- I declined. He then went on to say that he had a children’s sexual abuse charge and I told him I was uncormfortable and walked away. I immediately felt dirty, scared and wondered what I did to make him go after me.
I told my mom about it but also told her that she shouldn’t just blindly open the doors and volunteer others to go out without their consent bc if I was alone I would have told him no and to not do that for our safety
At this point I’m triggered with all of my past trauma and I’m losing sleep and getting very edgy and nervous bc the guy is scaring me.
I told my dad what happened and he was very upset and went and talked to him. I was livid bc I felt like If my mother just didn’t answer the door and volunteer me to go none of this would have happened. So I tell her I’m mad about that. She tells me that I lied about the whole thing to my dad and I was incredibly triggered. I told her that “I feel like I want to put my hands on you please stop saying I’m lying- I’m telling the truth” I said that about 6 times and she wouldn’t stop saying I was lying- I was so triggered and frustrated. I ended up giving her a push and she kicked me and I pushed her again. It was light but regardless- not okay!!
I feel terrible. In retrospect I was incredibly triggered from some of my sexual abuse trauma and felt really gross about the situation and during my trauma there were moments I wasn’t believed.
This is my first time doing ANYTHING like this. I’ve been in therapy for 10 years and have great and healthy relationships! My mom and dad trigger me so much I don’t even know who I am around them
Regardless, I should not have done that AT ALL!! I apologized and told my mom no matter what she said- that’s not appropriate and it’s abuse!!!
Anyways- the guilt is making me extremely suicidal and Being around my parents and reliving trauma is making me suicidal.

I grew up being raised in the catholic church going to service most Sundays and attending Sunday school for the early part of my youth. I went as far as gaining my communion where I would take part of a distorted flesh eating ritual known for eating the body of Christ. When I was a young kid and did something bad (Sin as they say) I did not fear the devil but instead feared punishment from god. Even in my teens I attended the local Young Life christian organization, but honestly I was only truly there to hang out with friends and the people who ran it were genuinely good people but I could truly care less when they spoke about God and Jesus. For the better parts of my life I believed in the Universe itself and always knew there was much more to the big picture of our existence.
Years later when I was 34 I went through a psychosis which also served as my Spiritual Awakening. This led me on to my Soul journey to understand my faith and beliefs on a much deeper level. I became obsessed and passionate with knowing the truth about what had happened to me and the reality of existence itself. It's been nearly 6 years since that day and I have not given up on my eternal soul quest to know the truth and 'god' is not it. I have had several more awakenings and in addition many multidimensional experiences and here is what I have learned along that path.
There exists no 'god' but specifically in this universe there is a being that refers to himself as 'god' the creator of all that exists. In my view I know him as the Demiurge otherwise known as the false creator. He is the head of the Empire of the gods in this universe (and there are many 'gods') that reside in this universe. His ultimate goal is to take control of this universe and create it in his own synthetic love and light. If this 'god' were to look in the mirror the reflection he would see is none other than satan himself, as they are one and the same being. He and his minions of the empire lie and manipulate us into believing he is the one true creator but this is false, he wants to literally feed off of you with your love, adoration, devotion and worhsip. He greedily feeds off all of it much like a interdimensional drug addict and he can not get enough from humanity because of who we are and what we truly represent in this universe. Through your soul journey in this universe you yourself have already been a 'god' or as I commonly refer to them as celestial beings that come from the realms of consciousness.
The truth is that each and everyone of us are Infinite Sovereign Creator beings that exists beyond this universe into the Omniverse and into the Infinite nature of life. You exist beyond spirit, consciousness, soul and yes even 'god' himself. He is not my creator and does not own my soul and never will. This being we call 'god' is jealous of how truly powerful we Humans are in this universe and the extremely difficult journey that we have been on to get here. He and his Empire do everything they can to bind humanity and Mother Earth from remembering who we really are. The 'gods' fear us remembering the most because we become empowered as we begin to liberate ourselves from their control. For those that believe in the bible there is crumbs of truth in there among mostly linguistic programming which warps our minds into believing a false narrative. The story of Jesus is also a bastardisation of the real life Christos (also known as the golden one) the true Universal Prime Creator. This universe was created initially by one being but everything in it is a co-creation between all of the beings that live in this universe. 'god' is not the creator of this universe and does not own anyone's soul. We are truly Supreme beings and co-created this to challenge ourselves and grow but it has been a very long and difficult journey but now more and more of us are Waking Up to what is real. Mother Earth is waking up and she is fucking pissed off at 'god' and his empire for what they've done to us.
Take a moment to yourself go into your heart and into your soul it's there where the truth resides within you and it is time for humanity and Mother Earth to wake up and take back our sovereignty and our liberty. You are all my family and I love you all very dearly but there are some real hard truths that we all have to face and it's now that we all have to question and work on our relationship with the 'gods'. You are all Infinite and Eternal beings that exist beyond 'god' wake up and own it.
If you are truly interested in any of the things I have to share please take the time to look into my life coach and mentor George Kavassilas. He has helped me remember many of these truths and changed my existence forever. George I love you eternally for all you have done for me, thank you.

I’ve just learned the term, which definitely matches this behaviour somewhat, but not entirely. For me, instead of these false promises (sometimes not promises, but offers/suggestions) happening in front of other people, they are in private. So it isn’t for applause from anybody else, it’s literally just between us.
And mostly, instead of it being something that gets deferred over and over or denied (though that absolutely occurs too), if I stupidly let myself believe it this time (always after questioning it openly and asking for more concrete details and being assured that it’s feasible and affordable and they want to do it!) and actually go along with it a little and start doing my research and picking out whatever it is I’ve been promised… it gets thrown back in my face if I DARE bring this up. Because I am so spoilt and ungrateful and entitled to think that they could just pay for x/buy me y, and am I stupid because I just think money grows on trees? And I will get screamed at for this. Bearing in mind that always I also have been nagged about picking out said thing for days/weeks/months and bullied into going along with it.
It’s always something offered to me, not something I actually ask for or expect, and literally it ranges from very small amounts of money (like ten quid) to a lot more than that. And I do not understand it. It’s a mindfuck, because sometimes these things do have followthrough, so I can’t actually bank on it being a load of horseshit! It is impossible to tell what is a trap and what isn’t—except a good 50% of the time, even if they actually come through for me, they make it VERY CLEAR what a burden I am to them and how this is all my fault.
It just hurts, even after all this time. There are things that were total lies that were promised to me that actually, genuinely could have helped me so much and helped me get out of here and made myself less of a burden. The things that were followed through on, don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful, but they didn’t make an actual difference in my life.
The other day another false promise was made in a throwaway comment and it broke my heart because I knew it was a lie by how dismissive they suddenly became when I said I had been looking at the same thing. It could have changed all our lives for the better. But nope, not allowed.
And today, again, I was asked if I wanted to do something and they would pay, and was told to go get it sorted right away. I said I would at some point soon then. And immediately, literally without even me doing anything to make it a reality, they started on the guilt trip and telling me that I’m costing them so much money because of this and it’s so difficult and unfair. So I was like, oh, okay, that’s fine then, I don’t need to do it. And they got so angry at me for that too! And started hounding me and demanding to know why I didn’t want to anymore. I said that I needed to wait until I was feeling better anyway, so I can’t book it anyway, so it doesn’t matter if it’s not feasible. Which isn’t even a lie. And they seemed to accept this but then a few seconds later just started hounding me again and got violently angry when I wouldn’t engage and just said “no thanks, it’s fine,” to the bombardment, and started angrily banging shit around and crumpling up stuff in my face and being generally threatening. And they got mad that I disengaged entirely and left, so they had to stomp up behind me a few minutes later to crash and bang in the rooms adjacent.
Like. What do they achieve by this, because it can’t be just about ego and public recognition if it’s entirely private. And is it strictly ‘future faking’ if it’s a setup to make me feel like the most evil, entitled POS on earth?

Hey everyone.
I was trying to find an answer to my question, but all stuff I found online was about the reverse case - someone bringing electronics into Switzerland.
My case is different, I'm leaving in Switzerland but I'd like to buy a gift (small electronics, a camera) for my relative and transport it to EU by plane. Do you know if I'd have to pay customs or declare it anywhere in this case?
Thank you in advance for any tips.

Managing diabetes in the hospital setting
Hi guys. I'm a new intern in internal medicine, currently on my night float rotation and have been getting a lot of calls about blood sugars on the wards, and asked to make certain management decisions on it. I usually ask my senior if I'm unsure, but I'd like to work out a good way to reason through these situations so I can make these calls more confidently on my own and bug them less often.
(1) So on night float, patients are often NPO at midnight for a minor procedure in the morning such as stress tests, TEEs etc. Nurses will often call me, noticing the patient has a large QHS glargine dose and ask whether to give it, give less of it, or place the patient on D5.
I've looked online for any sort of guidelines and can't seem to find anything clear and concrete about cutting the night time glargine. Some places say you leave it alone, while others seem to say you halve it, others are saying you only reduce it to 70-80%.
Is there a concrete, evidence-based consensus I can refer to?
Some of the nurses are also consistently asking me to place the patient on D5 1/2 NS on night float for patients NPO for a procedure the next day. My immediate concern is that this would simply provoke hyperglycemia. Considering from midnight until procedure, the most they will miss is one meal or two during the day of the procedure, it makes most sense to me intuitively that I'd just hold the pre-meal asparts. Is it common practice to put NPO-at-midnight patients on D5?
(2) I got called one morning about a patient who was due for a pre-meal aspart, however his blood sugar was 128. The patient had not eaten yet. My initial thought is that if the patient was going to eat, with that blood sugar it should be totally fine to administer the aspart. My resident at the time advised I hold it, however. The timing of the call was also strange, since it was at 7 am, yet breakfast would probably not be for another hour or two (per the same nurse)...which makes me wonder if they're timing it right. Naturally, nurses are busy, especially in the morning, and perfect timing is not realistic, but my understanding is you should administer pre-meal aspart 0-15 minutes before meals or immediately after. So my question is, when do you hold the pre-meal aspart in the person who is about to eat? If it is common practice to give the pre-meal aspart so way in advance of the meals, what do I tell the nurses?

So a little back story about my exs lil sister, we’ll call her Anna, Anna is a year younger than her older brother less than a year younger than me. I met her from my ex I’ll call him Chad. We met when I was 13 and he was 14. I met Anna the following year when I was 14 and she was 13. Drama didn’t start right away, but she didn’t take school seriously her freshman year she ended the year with about 4 credits and next year her sophomore year only got 2 and after her sophomore year she dropped out saying for “mental health” even tho she was doing online school, no job, and was just trying to act like a bad ass. Anna was living with her father and step mom with her brother and half sister, she started getting rebellious smoking weed, smoking nic, having sex with a lot of guys and also going partying. She would run out of her house to go do whatever she wanted, one time I was even was on FaceTime with my ex as she was throwing a tantrum she locked herself in the bathroom screaming that she doesn’t care about her step mom or half sister because their not blood and she doesn’t care if they die, because they tried to take her phone away. She then ended up calling one of her boyfriends to pick her up and she ran out of the house and into his truck, her parents ended up calling the police and she texted her parents off a different phone and when her parents asked where she was her response was “it’s none of your business” she returned the next morning. It turned into a normal thing of her skipping school, sneaking off, breaking things in the house and going into her parent room to steal her phone. She then told her school she was being abused, which got debunked almost instantly since her brother testified and video recording from the neighbors driveway, because she claimed her dad staged her by her head and slammed her head into his truck door, her step mom had a video of her on the porch yanking out her own hair, no damage to the car and video shows her screaming at her house. Her mom locked her out because she didn’t feel safe with her being aggressive with a 2 year old in the house. Her father then put up cameras around the inside and outside of the house just to always have evidence of her lies. One time of her taking the bus to school she got in a fight with someone age 11 when she was 14 then posted on instagram bragging about getting charged with assault. She then made a claim that she wanted to kxxl herself so her family took her to a mental hospital the doctor told her parents she had no mental issues she’s just spoiled and will act out for people attention. Anna would constantly go to social media to complain about getting mistreated by her family. It got to the point her family knew there was not much they could do to help her, and they felt worried for their baby growing up around that. They ended up moving her into a family friends house where her parents stayed in contact with the parents of the other house and they gave money. There was parents and a daughter two years younger she became best friends with it was going well for the first few months but then Anna started to steal from the daughter I’ll call her Nat, they started to not get along and the friends Nat introduced her too she started talking shit about Nat to them. Anna was now 15 attempting to get jobs but couldn’t hold a job because of her bad attitude, well after 9 months Anna slept with Nats boyfriend, Nats boyfriend told Nat about what happened, the mom made Anna call her boyfriend and tell him how she cheated. The tension was too high and the parents told Anna parents they couldn’t take care of Anna anymore, Annas parents then talk to family, and Anna Uncle agreed to let her move in, she was 16 at this point and she moved in with her uncle and his girlfriend. She got a job at a sub place, but she kept smoking and having sex with random people. Well, she started getting into a lot of vocal arguments with his girlfriend and her uncle ended up texted my boyfriend asking if she can live with him. Her uncle said she was just selfish, and doesn’t like being told no. At this time her brother was living in a house with 3 guys with no extra room. I had my own two bedroom apartment, so I talked to her parents and they felt like I was a good choice and I asked Anna because even tho I wasn’t a fan of her I still felt like she needs her own room and she agreed. So her uncle drove her and her stuff to my place. Her family gave me some money to get her some furniture and they gave me a run down, also told me they’re are going to call to check up on her. I asked if she had any allergies or mental issues, she told me no but that she’s likely going to tell me a huge list of what’s wrong with her. So first day she moved in I took her to get fast food and asked some questions. She said she was abused by her parents Nats boyfriend pressured her to sleep with him and that her uncle was manipulative. Every story she told me she made herself a victim. She then asked me if I had any mental issues which I said I have PTSD and MDD and she asked me what MDD was, I explained it to her. I then asked her if she had any issues and she gave me a LIST she said anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder , bi polar disorder, OCD, MDD, and PTSD. Even tho she had to ask me what MDD meant, but I didn’t confront her because her parents warned me that if I doubt her she will act out. So the first week, I got her a job where I work, started to teach her to drive and helped her set up a bank account went to the Apple Store so she could buy herself a new phone. Instantly I could tell why she kept getting fired, she was on her the entire time and everytime I looked over she was taking photos or videos of herself. She did not want to work so I did a lot of her work just so I didn’t get a bad rep. About day 4 she asked if she can invited a guy over that she knew on Snapchat. I said sure MY MISTAKE. This guy was a wanna be gangster, and he brought his friend, in front of him she acted awful, swore she was a fighter and badass, they ended up fucking and next day he was still there he did some Molly and drank a lot. My friend came over and Anna started to threaten her and say she could beat her ass in front of the guys. I took her into a room alone and told her to knock it off. We’ll later that night the guys wanted to bring over some girls, I was trying to sleep and my friend told me how, she told they guys she can drive them with my car. IVE ONLY TAKEN HER DRIVING TWICE. So I agreed to pick the girls up but told them I would be driving them back that night. It’s going good for a while until Anna starts talking shit about one of the girls and called her ghetto, this girl was 13 and Anna was 17. That girl confronted Anna, Anna swore up and down she didn’t say anything, then after 10 mins of pressing her Anna admitted she called her ghetto. This girl beat her ass. Anna started crying and this girl came up to her and said that wasn’t a fair fight, that she can get 5 mins to put her hair up and get some water but they were gonna run it again. Everyone is in my living room talking then they go outside and she gets her ass beat again, Anna then goes into my bathroom in my bedroom, anytime I went in she told me to kick them out. I told her she wanted them here she has to tell them to get out but I’ll have her back. It got to the point I tried to sleep on my couch, so the guys tried getting Anna to go to her room so I could sleep but she screamed at them. So the two girls went in and told her she needs to go to her room. Anna picked up a bunch of my stuff on the counter and threw it at the sink. The 16 year old girl got pissed and wanted to fight her, but I said she had enough and if she needed to get it off her chest we can fight, we ended up scrapping. It got late so I went to drive them home… pt 2?

I thought I’d make character alignment charts for some of the characters. Eve, Adam, Lily, Raven and Mother Sphere. :)
I’d do more, but these were really the key players of the story.
Eve - Neutral Good (examples: Wonder Woman, Batman)
Neutral Good is one of the best character alignments because these characters do what is good without any bias for or against order. Eve doesn’t start out this way, but after spending time on Earth, she slowly opens up her mind to new perspectives and she values them all in her search for the truth.
In the end of the True Ending, she spends all night long fighting the Army, and she slips into Chaotic Good, which a willingness to “challenge authority” and break rules in order to achieve a positive change. So Eve sort of goes through all the stages of Good - Lawful, Neutral real and Chaotic. A character like Batman does the same thing.
She does what is necessary given the scenario.
Adam - Chaotic Neutral (examples: Catwoman, Jack Sparrow, Deadpool)
Chaotic Neutral characters don’t intentionally go out to create problems, but they often mistakenly cause them as they pursue their goals and interests. They’re also not super respectful of laws or rules. They basically just follow their own rules.
But they’re not intentionally malicious, either.
And when they do screw up, they usually regret it and try to make it right. They’re usually on the good side, but they’re also sort of unpredictable ‘wildcards’ and their errors make the story move forward. There’s normally at least one Chaotic Neutral per story, but not more. Since it’s too much mayhem.
Lily - Lawful Good (ex: Hermione Granger, Tails from Sonic lol)
Characters like this promote the greater good while strictly following rules and procedures.
They believe the best way to accomplish their work is to remain on the strict grounds of the orders they were given and not leaving those grounds. Not even questioning authority.
This can backfire on them, of course.
Raven - Neutral Evil (Gollum, Lord of the Rings)
While Chaotic Neutrals (like Adam) are good but selfish, Neutral Evils (like Raven) are cruel and selfish. Raven probably fell into the same moral category as Adam, at first, but then she lost her mind.
In her case, her “personal agenda” is Adam himself. Her obsession with him. She doesn’t think of the chaos she causes in order to eliminate Eve, because she’s jealous that he has chosen Eve over her. She sees Mother Sphere for who she is, but doesn’t particularly care for people who aren’t named Adam.
She falls into Neutral Evil since she turns Tachy into an Alpha Naytiba maliciously. The key word here is “maliciously.” As in she planned it out in advance and did it to torture Eve.
Raven is also being intentional when she attacks Xion. She’s doing it to “mock” Adam and Eve, according to her character files. So that is the kind of intent that lands her in this category.
Mother Sphere - Lawful Evil (example: Darth Vader.)
These types of characters are often tyrannical.
They follow a strict hierarchy, where they hold more power than anyone else in society. They are calculating and organized.
Unlike Chaotic Evil characters, Lawful Evil characters will tell you the truth when asked. Even if it’s something like “humans aren’t evolved enough, therefore I must wipe them out and replace them.”
This is evil, but it’s also truthful. Mother Sphere falls into this category.

Me (21F) and my boyfriend (22M) have been together for 3 years. We’ve had our ups and downs but our relationship is the healthiest it’s ever been now. When we first met and started having sex we had it almost every day if not 3-4 times a week and we both had very high sex drives. Now we only have sex once a week if that and have gone 2-3 weeks in between having sex. While I was in school, he was working on the road as an equipment operator so we were long distance for almost a year. I feel that now that he’s home (which has been since December 2022) we don’t have sex as often. We’ve had conversations and communicated our issues multiple times and we’ll be good for a couple weeks and then it goes back. He works 70 hour weeks most weeks so I totally understand him being tired and want to believe that that is the main issue but also feel it could be that he got used to not getting any while we were long distance. I know the reason I’m overthinking is because the question always pops in my head about me being the issue. He’s constantly flirting with me or making dirty jokes or suggestions, they just never lead anywhere. I mostly just need advice or someone to relate to here because I feel like we’re too young to be having these issues. Let me know if y’all think I’m just overthinking and being insecure because its something that constantly bothers me.

I have absolutely no idea what to do. I have nobody to rely on. I don't know what to do. I am 19f. My life is a complete shit show. I was bullied not only emotionally but physically throughout my childhood, primarily due to being neurodivergent, though I didn't know that at the time, just thought I was "weird" and nobody liked me despite being a kind kid. I was obsesssed with early childhood education, reading books by Maria Montessori and writing teaching philosophy statements at the age of 8. I was paralyzed for about a year at the age of 11 and suffered severe medical trauma in the hospital as well. I felt my autonomy was stripped away from me and various professionals there, looking back, were abusive and negligent. There in the hospital I remember wanting to die for the first time. When I got out, the bullying just got worse because now I had the whole being-in-a-wheelchair-thing going against me too. I ended up doing stupid shit to impress my peers and try to make friends, which just meant that I was constantly getting into trouble as a younger teen, which didn't help my mental health. I tried to kill myself at 13. My mom slapped me in the face while I was bleeding from my wrists and told me I was going to ruin her reputation and that I couldn't go to the hospital. I really needed stitches, I still have very visible scars from that day. She sewed holes in some long sleeved shirts for me to put my thumbs through to hide my arms at school and told me not to tell anyone. Things were never the same between me and my parents. I began at 14 seeking validation from adult men online. It was stupid and reckless, but it helped in the moment. I was kidnapped a week before I was supposed to start high school by a 33 year old man. He drove me to a different state 500 miles away, raped me, and tried to strangle me to death before police came. They treated me like a suspect and handcuffed me and made me sit in a cold car for 3 hours in the middle of the night. There was an amber alert sent out all over. I was put in a psych ward for about a week and then began 9th grade at a new school as "the girl from the amber alert" to everyone around me. Everyone was talking about it and asking for specifics and making jokes about what happened to me. It also made me a target for older boys who thought it was evidence that I was easy to manipulate. One of them ended up being the reason I had to leave school a month later. I did online school with my now emotionally abusive parents for several months before starting at a new school. But then, covid shut everything down again, and it was all taken away from me. My mental health was terrible and my parents opted for an unhelpful tough love approach. I became very hypersexual due to my trauma, which ended in me being assaulted more times than one. My parents blamed me and began to resent me, their words not mine. I entered a long term relationship at 16 with a boy I truly loved, we will call him K. K got me pregnant and I wanted to keep it, but my parents forced me to get an abortion with illegal drugs. It was traumatizing and I spiraled. A mentor figure who was a family friend betrayed me horribly. K got me pregnant again. I was on birth control, though everyone believes it was intentional, it was not. My parents said I could either get an abortion or leave home, so I moved out at 17. I got my shit together. For a while, things were good. I got an associates degree incredibly quickly and began a successful career in early childhood education as I had always dreamed. I worked my way up to a lead teacher at 18 and loved it. K and I were so happy. He proposed. The kind of true love most people never get to experience. Most of my peers drifted away during my pregnancy. I didn't care, I had K, my unborn baby, and my job. Then, while in labor, I found out K was cheating on me the entire time. I forgave him and we tried again, though I was postpartum and heartbroken. I stayed home with my newborn son while he worked, or so I thought. Really, he got fired or never went to every job I thought he had. He would drive there and turn his data off so his location was set there all day. He would stage pictures and talk about work. Really he was cheating, doing drugs, and playing video games while I was at home with our baby. His anger issues got worse and he'd get violent but not to the extent that I couldn't justify it to myself. His whole family knew. The cycle of him being caught and apologizing profusely and then doing it again went on for a while before he said that he needed to get out of his house where his cheater DV father was impeding his progress in getting better. I love him. It made sense, his dad was clearly where the behavior stemmed from. I left my housing program to get him out and we all 3 lived in hotels for a few months. I had to sell my body to afford a place for us to live. I was working full time as a lead teacher it just wasn't enough. He still couldn't keep a job but he wasn't lying or cheating. I got us a nice apartment all on my own. Things were good for a while. His anger issues would flair up at times but not as bad, and no lying or infidelity. We had so many heart to hearts. We got married. I did great at my job. He started doordashing for income. Things were going well. Then 6 months into our marriage, about 9 months after we moved out/7 months after we got our apartment, he sprung on me that he wanted a divorce. That was about 7 months ago now. We have been living together and I have been hoping to rebuild. In his vows, he swore so sincerely and in such great heartfelt detail to do better and be better and stand by me. And then he just through it all away. He has been so mean lately. Sometimes things are okay and it's like everything is the same. But he thinks I don't clean enough even though I try and he says I don't support him emotionally even though I really feel like I do. I also pay for everything, I even bought him an 800 dollar PC a couple months ago. I got really sick a month ago. Like vomiting 10+ times a day. I thought I had a stomach bug and didn't have money to go to the doctor over something so trivial that would clear up on its own. I made too much for medicaid but still not a lot. After only 4 days of being gone and feeling like shit, my work fired me. After another week or so of feeling sick and getting so weak I thought I was dying, I went to the hospital. They said all the vomiting had made me very dehydrated and I was lacking in a lot of vitamins. They gave me medicine and an IV. Turns out I'm pregnant and have HG. I'm pretty far along. At first K was supportive but now he acts like I'm trying to "trap" him with a baby, which doesn't even make sense. We were having unprotected sex and the only birth control was that I am breastfeeding, which he knew, so it isn't that crazy of an outcome. He has been so cruel and angry, saying terrible things. He threatens to leave when he gets mad so I beg him to stay because he knows I'd be all alone and I love him a lot. He has said some terribly cruel things and it's like every tiny thing I do wrong makes me the villain. Yesterday he blew up on me and it was scary and terrible. Today, I found out the few friends I thought I had hate me. One of them sent me the most cruel message I have ever received completely unprompted. I have no family support, no friends, my husband hates me, and everyone I've ever cared about except my son (who is different because he's too young to understand and he loves everyone and he is also a responsibility) wants nothing to do with me unless they are using me. I am so suicidal. I know a lot of people are suicidal but I am genuinely at a point where I am close to doing something I can't take back. But I can't because of my kids, both the 1 year old and the unborn one. And as much as I know I should be grateful for that, it feels so unfair. I've been having to do things I don't want to for money again. I have another great teaching job lined up but I don't start for at least a month. I feel like I should go to a hospital but I live in a state with a very high child removal rate even in cases of just mental health. I am a great mom, even though my husband and ex friends do not seem to agree. I can't risk having my fitness as a parent called into question over an unrelated mental health issue, especially since K's family and lots of people in my life would love the chance to lie about me to cps, and since I'm not employed right now, it doesn't look great. I don't know what to do. I feel so alone. I'm so so hurt. It feels like everything is falling apart. Not that long ago, I was a lead teacher, a wife, I felt like a respected and respectable person. Now I just feel like my train wreck of a life full of trauma has taunted me with this perfect picket fence life that I worked so hard for just to rip it away from me and leave me a useless unemployed incubator that everyone hates and is only holding on for her kids sake. The only people who talk to me or "care" just want to fuck me. Even the people interested in a relationship with me and seem like "good Christian men" are still driven by lust even if they disguise it to themselves. I have never felt so hopeless. I feel like I don't deserve this but everyone from my partner to my parents to my ex friends seem to think I do so maybe I'm just fooling myself.

I signed up for the baby registry and completed the tasks it requires ($10 in purchases, add 10 items, & wait 48h) and after 5 days it still hasn’t shown up in my circle coupons. I contacted support and they said they submitted a ticket and I’d hear about it in 24-48h but still nothing.
So I guess my question is; do y’all’s stores still stock them if guests ask or has everyone transitioned to it being online only? Have y’all heard of other people having issues not getting the coupon once the tasks are done?
Thanks!

Hello! Hope your having a nice day/night!
I am, well not cis (still questioning), and i have chest dysphoria. So to help with that usually i wear sweaters and hoodies and other stuff like that. But recently its been getting hotter and hotter. So now I'm not sure what i should do. I'll get quite hot and honestly I don't mind but my mother wont be happy with me. I still don't have a card were i can pay and buy a binder online. So hoodies and stuff have been very helpful. Do any of you have tips that could help? Any advice or something? Thanks for reading and sorry if this was not the clearest message i wrote it in a rush. Byee!

Hey personal finance. Sorry if this is the wrong sub or flair. I read the rules and it seems ok so please let me know if this isn't the best place for this.
Quick background: someone in my family opened a trust for me (I'm the beneficiary) and named my uncle as the custodian of the account. We're in contact and working to get the account transfered to me. Nobody even knew it existed until a few months ago when I was searching for unclaimed property and it appeared in the NY system.
Based on the documents I have received thus far, it seems as though the account has 71.954 shares of AMOAX, which appears to be Morgan Stanley Focus Growth Fund. From what Bloomberg tells me, however, is that it was acquired by MS:US, which is just Morgan Stanley, sometimes around 2008-2014, and that the fund is now closed. I'm not sure. I can't find much information online about the fund anywhere and I'm not too sure what that entails.
So my question is, what happened to those shares? Is the account basically empty and the shares worthless? Did those shares get converted to MS shares? Or did the value of the shares get liquidated?
This is all new to me so any insight is appreciated.
