2024.05.19 22:17 Tooth_Worried Tired of love

Well, I’m so sick and tired of my love life (or the lack thereof). To give you some context I’m 25, on the heavier side, pretty ish, but not pretty enough to be noticed, have lots of friends, have been told by a lot of colleagues that I seem extremely approachable, and kinda the person who knows/ gets along with most, but having said that I’ve Have had a hard time when it came to dating, guys not being interested enough, or using me physically and emotionally when they felt like it, and so far I’ve been nothing but still a hopeless romantic, thinking maybe the right person is just around the corner. Now I’m thinking maybe it’s not my fate, it’s maybe the rolls of fat spread around my tummy, my arms or just my back, that maybe no matter how good I get at my job/ being a friend or a person at the end of the day the only thing keeping me away from experiencing love is my effing body. The words “good enough to fuck but not enough to date” are just running through my mind and I can’t get it out. I’m sick and tired of it all. I’ve previously told my friends half heartedly that maybe love isn’t meant to be in everyone’s life in that way, maybe I’m gonna get my share of love by my friends, my parents and my siblings, and now im thinking it’s time to fully embrace that and let go of thinking that love is ever meant to come in my life.

2024.05.19 22:16 Vegetable-Bit-5892 I'm sorry, I want to share

Hi everybody. I'm sorry for this post, it just got covered and I need to talk it out. This post is essentially a long whining of a young idiot.. If you'll excuse me, I'll start from the beginning.
I am about to turn 21 and for the last two years I have been tormented by the question of faith. I'll come from afar.. I am from Eastern Europe and as a child they tried to instill Orthodoxy in me.. But at the age of 13, I was led away towards rigid atheism. As a result, the question of faith ceased to play any role in my life, but it returned.
I don't know how to explain my condition. I'm scared.. It's scary because it's likely that none of what I'm trying to believe exists. Life after death, creator, the paranormal.. Thanks to registering on reddit and being in groups like afterlife, paranormal and so on, I managed to calm my anxiety. But now that faith has become shaky.. In fact, I am thrown from side to side: I can read something in this topic and faith returns, and then plunge into the comments of materialists and atheists and faith dies.
In fact, faith feeds me.. She supports the desire to live. Without her, there is no meaning in life. It's so terrible to realize that when everyone leaves, everything will go away.. That the day will come when I will no longer hear my father's jokes, the barking of the dog, see my mother's smile and will not be able to watch my younger brother and younger sisters having fun. All this will go away.. Only faith gives hope that something will happen next.
Faith helps me not to fall apart completely. In my 20s, I live with my parents, I can't do anything, I sit at home for days and only faith gives me hope that I need to move on, I need to try to overcome my laziness, fight.. But sometimes, looking at how the number of atheists is growing, how the world's religions are dying, it feels like I'm just a miserable idiot who tries to believe in fairy tales because of my own wretchedness and because of the realization that I missed my youth..
Sometimes it feels like all these attempts to find evidence of faith are just attempts to escape from reality.. A reality in which I will never realize what I wanted.. I won't read books because of laziness, I won't be able to get into a relationship with a goth girl (I keep trying to join this subculture, but it turns out poorly), I won't be able to find friends after university, I won't be able to stop looking ridiculous.. And there will be only work ahead, work, work, work, work, gradual extinction and watching the death of relatives. Phrases like "Life will fly by" "The time of fun has passed and this time is youth" are also annoying.
I'm sorry, this all sounds like the whining of a 13-year-old whiner.. God, I even mentioned the girl... But.. I really don't know what to do.. Faith dies and with it the desire to live fades away. And the feeling that I missed everything.. While my peers are having fun, playing in groups, being realized, I have a feeling that everything is lost

2024.05.19 22:15 Suspicious-Excuse792 How do y’all feel about the $10.99 shipping costs?

How do y’all feel about the $10.99 shipping costs?
I always see people selling items that are pretty small and/or lightweight but have a shipping cost of $10.99. I sell on depop and all my shipping costs no matter what the item is never more than a M “parcel size” because I’m not making the $$ for the shipping so I try and do what I can for the customer; for me personally it just doesn’t make sense to drive away customers by having an outrageous shipping cost for money they will never see. Maybe somebody can help me understand and make this make sense. I just didn’t feel like “arguing” about this given that it still only came out to a total of $26 and obviously they were super polite and is shipping it out fast so can’t complain too much. (Also the listing had been up for a month)

2024.05.19 22:15 LittleCowofOsasco Acoustic or Electronic?

About two months from now I’ll (meaning my mum) will buy my first kit. But there’s a problem: I live on an apartment.
Now, for the apartment e-drums would be great for practice, but for shows it would be shit, so here’s the question: should I focus on practice or shows?
Also, I take drum lessons on a music school, and I’m allowed to practice there for about 3 to 4 times a week, 2 hours each practice session; so there’s that in consideration.
(Also for anyone wondering why so soon that I’m asking this is just so I can have a basis to research on)

2024.05.19 22:15 Schmoe20 Bleeding & Constipation

I know a medical professional is the best to advise but I until I make it to my consultation appointment later this week, I’m desperate for some sound advice. I have a mass in my uterus that has caused my cervix to be forced open & have been bleeding now for 8 months and since this has worn me out, I haven’t worked the past 4 months and my level of activity has never been this low or near this low in my lifetime. I had to stop eating fiberous foods about a month back as my body just wouldn’t digest them. So that cut out corn, beans, apples, corn products, nuts, even oatmeal. I had reduced my eating quite a bit as I was in such discomfort and bodily jazz that it was super hard for me to mention. So now it takes 7 or more day for me to have a bowel movement. I’m bleeding more heavily now which I suspect is due to eating a bit more this week. I’m 58 years of age so this isn’t the typical journey for most of us women I’m suspecting. I’ve tried drinking hot herbal tea, taking a shower, eating prunes, eating beets, taking two Tums, I just eat some pure dark chocolate. What else can I try. I don’t want to have to travel in this state of being to get to where I have to see the doctor, last time I threw up due to this backed up condition while traveling as the doctor’s location is - 5 1/2 to 6 hour drive from me one way. I’m sorry for the gross situation but I’ve been trying to manage this on my own and staying cloistered in the meantime but I need some good advice to remedy this by tomorrow evening. Appreciate any good wisdom shared.

2024.05.19 22:15 vuentes At work they think I'm an enigma, help

I started a new job this year, its the best job I've ever had and I'm very excited with this opportunity. I'm so excited that several days a week I come home from work and share with my partner how awesome the projects are etc. However, the work pace is really high and the workload is a lot. I medicate so I can tolerate the long working days and have quality focus. I feel I function well despite my adhd, they praise my work. I guess I spend most days in hyper focus, because during lunchtime I experience very little motivation to socialise with my team. Because all my focus is needed for work, I have a harder time masking in the team. I force myself to chitchat at the coffee machine, but I feel only weird stuff comes out of my mouth. Despite, I feel comfortable with my team and whenever we can we even have dinner or drinks together that are not related to our work. I also developed good relationships with my seniors and boss.
The other day we had a team bonding day guided by a coach. We were all sharing our experiences and point of improvements for management, and this time I was sharing too. I felt relaxed and secure. However, afterwards various colleagues, seniors and even boss approached me and shared that they're pleasantly surprised with hearing more of my ideas and that they consider me very mysterious and my boss even went as far as saying I'm an enigma. One senior said that they felt insecure whether I was happy with my work and they were afraid I was going to quit. I've confirmed with them that I am actually really excited with the job, position, team and projects and that I couldn't be more happy.
But now I'm stressing a bit and (over?) thinking it all. One of my colleagues has autism (not disclosed with management, they definitely don't know) and has heard their current contract is not going to be extended because of personal mismatch with the firm. I'm anxious that's my destiny because as romantic as an 'enigma' sounds I'm sure it's off putting in the long term. I've already started expressing my emotions more like sharing my positive opinion about the meetings we have and mentioning how excited I am about the subjects we handle. I also wonder whether this is what people mean with medication flattening your personality. I just can't imagine surviving a typical workday without medication.
I'm wondering if anyone has found hacks for this situation!
Ps. Work doesn't know my diagnosis and I have no plan to share either. I've heard rumours one of the seniors has autism, which was a relief to find out there is actually space for ND people like me here.

2024.05.19 22:15 behemothsloth [5e][Online][Weeky][Thursday 7 PM CST][LGBT+ Friendly] Looking for 1 person for Curse of Strahd! 21+

Hello! My name is Zeffphur and I am looking for 1 for Curse of Strahd. We have 5 players already but we are looking to have a total of 6. Current comp is a Gnome Druid, Elf Monk, Elf Shadow Sorcerer, Goliath Grave Cleric and a Tiefling Fighter. We will use discord for audio and roll20 for maps. Character sheets will be kept on Beyond where I have content sharing on. Please be 21+ for the sake of keeping ages in the same range.
Story: Under raging storm clouds, the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. The wind’s howling increases as he turns his gaze down toward the village of Barovia. Far below, yet not beyond his keen eyesight, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. Strahd’s face forms the barest hint of a smile as his dark plan unfolds. He knew they were coming, and he knows why they came—all according to his plan. A lightning flash rips through the darkness, but Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the wind fills the midnight air. The master of Castle Ravenloft is having guests for dinner. And you are invited.
Nitty-gritty character info: You’ll start at level 1. Roll 4d6 drop the lowest. Assign as you wish. Roll 2 arrays and pick the one you want. You cannot pick and choose from either array. Its one or the other. If the score for the stat is lower than 8 you can reroll, if you want to keep it that's fine too. So as far as classes that are allowed, I allow any official class/subclass outside of Artificer and Blood Hunter. PHB Races plus Legacy Goliath for races. And for my own sanity, do not suggest an overly goth character. Suggest a normal adventurer that just happens to get sucked into Barovia.
Please fill out the attached form, saves me the trouble of asking everyone the same questions then having to search for the answers. This way they are all in one place and easier on me. I will be taking my time in finding the right person. We will be talking in a call to the answers we like the best, so put some thought when filling it out. Add me on Discord (zeffphur) if you have any questions, or just message me on here.

2024.05.19 22:14 milanadj Quit job to take care of a kid

I often hear moms leave their jobs to take care of their kids until they start going to school. Other than the bonding reasons, I am interested in the financial and career-related aspect of all that. So, I have some questions for those moms:
  1. Do you do this if your salary is almost the amount you would normally give for daycare, so you just decide not to work anymore because it doesn't make any sense to give out so much money? In this case, you would work just to pay for daycare.
  2. Do you quit working but make some sort of deal with your company for them to try to re-employ you again when you're done with being a stay-at-home mom?
  3. Are you afraid that you might lose the opportunity to find a good job again due to a gap in work history? How do recruiters look at this?
  4. Do you prefer to have more kids during that time or that they are more apart?
  5. What do you do regarding health insurance in you're unemployed and your husband cannot put you on his plan?
I would appreciate any valuable advice on financial pros/cons of being a stay-at-home mom.

2024.05.19 22:14 East_Sky7327 Rough breakup

I’ve been a big reader of this forum and never thought I’d be posting haha. I (26f) have been dating Leaf (32m) for around 5 months. L has been with May (33f) for two years. I met him through May and she highly encouraged both of us to date. It got pretty serious pretty fast and we ended up becoming official and sharing I love you’s within a month. They’ve been poly their whole relationship, but I was the first romantic interest to come into the dynamic. After about two months of us seeing each other, May realized this adjustment was taking a bigger toll on her mental health than anticipated and suggested she step out of the relationship to focus on herself and allow us to continue building ours. Leaf didn’t want this, and instead told May that he would break up with me to keep her.
Spoiler alert: he didn’t!!
Instead of coming clean, Lead told May he had broken up with me, and told me May wanted to practice parallel poly but pursued it in a DADT kind of way. This was my first poly relationship, as well as my first relationship, so I was still learning what was normal for this kind of dynamic, what were trauma responses that were being triggered, etc. etc. So I really let a lot more slide than I should have.
So Leaf continued to lie to both me and May. He has a packed schedule with various hobbies, work, etc. so it was difficult for us to see each other. I was lucky if I saw him for more than two waking hours in a week. He lied to us about his availability, saying he was working when he was actually with either me or May.
I’ve recently gone on a vacation to visit my parents out of state and invited Leaf. For weeks he told me he was trying to find coverage, only to tell me days before I left that he couldn’t. I asked him how May felt about this and he said she was okay with it because she was in the middle of finals. Clearly this conversation never happened, because May thought we had broken up MONTHS prior.
During my trip, May found a pair of my earrings and finally realized we were still together. Leaf lied until the last possible moment, trying to convince her that it was his step mom’s. She gave him the ultimatum to either break up with me or they were done.
So he did. The day I got home from my trip. Before that he continued acting totally normal, so I was completely blindsided. In this conversation he said his life was too busy and he wouldn’t be able to make time for me, and that he had broken up with May days prior. She wasn’t taking it well, according to him.
Last night he told me about all the lies. I continued discussing everything with May into this morning, which is how I know all of this information. Leaf had been telling her that our relationship was casual and nothing serious, whereas he was telling me he wanted forever and was already planning our six month anniversary. He’s told me he didn’t want to end it and that he doesn’t want to lose me entirely.
They’re still together. I don’t know how to process this. I told him I was insecure about the length of their relationship vs how new ours was. When they were struggling, I asked what he would do if May told him to break up with me and he said he wouldn’t. I’m just upset I didn’t get a proper conversation or a choice.
Is it bad that I still want him? Is it bad that im jealous of May for having the opportunity to rectify things? How does one process all of this and heal?
Sorry for the long rant, I’ve never been in a position like this before and I have no clue how to feel or what to do. I love him so much.
Edit: I in no way blame May for any of this. I feel so terrible that she was hurt in any way and I honestly can’t say I would’ve reacted much different if I were in her shoes.

2024.05.19 22:14 kittykatieee I feel bad.

I've been talking to a new rp partner for around three ish days now and I'm really not vibing well with them. It's an older man,he's a good writer,and he's nice enough outside of the story, I'm just having a hard time with his writing style. He writes in first person, I typically write in third, and just a few other quirky things he does. I've tried my best to adapt,but it's just so far out of my zone that I'm cringing with each response. Of course we talked about writing styles prior to the story,but he said he mixes 1st and 3rd so I assumed it wouldn't be too terrible, but it just isn't working. Also in the short time we've spoken he has already brought up his love life and taking me out if we ever meet? It made me a little uncomfortable. I've had my fair share of off people and role-playing,but I feel bad hurting his feelings. How do I explain to him that I don't think this is going to work? Thanks so much.

2024.05.19 22:14 Creative_Natural_334 Water damage caused by internal structural issues of the apartment, can I stop paying rent?

In my apartment (Chicago), there is plumbing or structural issues that lead to constant leaking of water (twice to three times daily that requires constant mopping). The maintenance staff had been informed of this issue two months ago and have been coming in to check on it but so far nothing has done to fix it. Today the water leakage got a lot of worse and caused my closet to be completely flooded and created multiple puddles of water in the kitchen. I used my closet as a storage place as well so a lot of important documents and electronics that were stored in boxes (on the floor) were ruined.
What sort of actions should I take to recover the finance loss from my property damage and emotion stress of constantly having to mob? I am not really familiar with tenant law in Chicago but I heard in some cases you can withhold rent or something like that? How can I get my landlord to compensate me for my property damages?
I am a little hesitant to go through the legal route with the landlord because the apartment is managed by a law firm itself so the landlord herself is an attorney. What should I do to protect myself and rightfully exercise my legal rights in this case? Thank you!

I can’t play the push and pull game when it comes to flirting, I wear my heart on my sleeve because I’m afraid I’d regret not saying anything at all when I had the time to. Maybe people got put off by my straightforward or just my honest words? Anyways. Just wanted to get it out and stop the spiral.

2024.05.19 22:13 GerJohannes Learning how to draw in a 30 Day Drawing Challenge

Learning how to draw in a 30 Day Drawing Challenge
Hey Reddit!
I'm excited (and a little nervous) to share that I'm embarking on a 30-day drawing challenge! I've never drawn before, so this is a completely new adventure for me. I'm a musician, not an artist. I want to see how much progress I can make by dedicating a little time each day to this creative pursuit.
https://preview.redd.it/b6dea4ymxf1d1.jpg?width=1824&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c278d0552da57e67b9d4705335d51a314644dad0
Why I’m Doing This:
  1. Self-Improvement: I’ve always admired artists and wanted to develop a new skill.
  2. Creativity Boost: Drawing seems like a great way to express myself and tap into my creative side.
  3. Routine and Discipline: I’m hoping this challenge will help me build a positive daily habit.
The Plan:
  • Duration: 30 days! (started yesterday)
  • Daily Commitment: 1 drawing a day.
Goals:
  • Consistency: Show up and draw every day, no matter how I feel about the result.
  • Progress: See noticeable improvement in my drawing skills by the end of the 30 days.
If anyone has any advice for a complete beginner or suggestions for what I should draw, please let me know! And if anyone wants to join in on the challenge, that would be awesome too.
Wish me luck!

2024.05.19 22:13 wheresmylife-gone222 Star Wars Episode 1:The Beginning- A TPM rewrite heavily based on the 1994 draft (through not a carbon copy)

I think its common knowledge in these circles that the first draft of TPM from 1994 (originally called The Beginning) is much better. Still very flawed, but a good baseline for a better movie.
For some reason, Lucas added many things in the final draft that made the movie a lot worse. It's fascinated me for a while now about how things could have been if the original script was built upon.
I have been watching videos summing up the original draft for a while now and I discovered something. Apparently Lucas gave his final TPM draft to Lawrence Kasdan a week before shooting started and asked for him to take a look at it. However, Kasdan refused because he though he wouldn't have enough time to make revisions.
I want to imagine how TPM would look if Kasdan or some other hypothetical collaborator got to see the first draft in 1994 and fixed it up. This isn't my preferred PT rewrite. This is just what I would have done if Lucas had dropped his first draft in my lap and told me to revise it.
Here are the videos I got the information from:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPHUWM3QNk0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqsD8s2W9Ho
The movie starts with an opening crawl talking about how it is a time of weakness in the Republic. The Outer Rim controlled by megacorporation's has seceded backed by droid armies. War has not broken out yet, but the galaxy is on the brink. They are now blockading the peaceful planet of Utapau to gain its rich plasma mines as well as its newly discovered Cloning formula. The Supreme Chancellor Valorum has dispatched two Jedi to investigate and/or negotiate if they can.
We then cut to a republic starship coming to land just like in the finished film. Only the Jedi are wearing samurai esqe uniforms (like the concept art), one black and one white. The black uniformed Jedi is Obi Wan Kenobi who is about 30, trained by Yoda and is already a full Jedi Knight. Very strict and by the book. The white uniformed Jedi is his brother Ben Kenobi who just became a full jedi. This is Ben's first mission without his master Oui Gon.
Ben Kenobi is very reckless and wonders why the Republic doesn't just declare war on the Confederacy already. Obi Wan argues with him while they wait in the conference room. Meanwhile Nute Gunray and the rest of the Nemoidians look more like how they do in early concept art. Much less humanoid and they speak in an alien language with subtitles.
They call Palpatine on the hologram and he is enraged that they let the Jedi land. He chokes Nute Gunray through the hologram, cowing him. They agree to kill the Jedi and things go similarly as in the finished movie. The ship is blown up, and poison gas is pumped into the conference room. Ben and Obi Wan cut their way through the battle droids and get to the hanger. They decide to stow away on the landing craft.
On the surface of Utapau they run into Jar Jar. In this version though, Jar Jar while emotional and still comic relief speaks in a normal voice and is a bit more mature. He's more of the everyman character. Ben persuades Jar Jar to take them to the Gungan city with a mind trick, this is something Obi Wan disapproves of. Ben is more unorthodox.
They get there and are captured just like the real film. The only difference is that all the Gungans have regular voices. They are taken to Governor Nass and we learn that Jar Jar was banished because he was a trouble maker who argued for more cooperation between the Gungans and Humans. As he rants, fish continuously fall through the bubble and a young gungan gathers them up and puts them outside again.
The two Jedi still convince him to call the humans and the whole bubble is engulfed in static. It is clear that communications have been cut off. The two Jedi are then given a submarine and told to try to navigate the planet core. Nobody has been able to do it in generations and it is clear Nass thinks its a suicide mission, a convenient way to get rid of three nuisances. They then travel through the planet core being attacked by various creatures while Jar Jar is kept calm through mind tricks.
We then cut to the city of Oxon (what later became Theed) where Queen Amidala who is 40 and her daughter Princess Padme around 14 are being briefed by captain Panaka and Sio Bibble. The Queen is complacent while Padme thinks they should take the fight to the Confederacy. Suddenly the droid army attacks the city and we see building being blown up and city guards killed.
The Queen, Padme, Panaka and all the other dignitaries are captured. Nute and the rest of the Nemodians show up as well to gloat like in the final movie and give some more exposition about how they want Utapaus cloning formula. We then see the Gungan submarine surfacing and the Jedi and Jar Jar sneak into the city.
They find the prisoners being walked down an alley and save them like in the real movie. Ben uses some flashy moves to finish the droids off and is almost killed by another droid while his back is turned. Obi Wan cuts the droid down and admonishes Ben for his recklessness. The Queen and co are pleased to see two Jedi knights but they are very hostile towards Jar Jar. Which the Jedi are displeased over.
They run to the hanger like the finished film and free the Pilots, however a stray blaster shot kills the Queen with Padme screaming in horror as they board the ship. The humans also try to prevent Jar Jar getting on board but the two Jedi insist upon it.
The ship gets attacked by the blockade and Naboo guards man gun positions while astromech droids finish the repair. After they get into hyperspace there is only one droid left. R2D2 who is thanked by a still in grieving Padme. She goes off down into the droid bay to be alone and runs into Jar Jar who consoles her. This starts Padmes turn towards liking the Gungans instead of being bigoted towards them.
Meanwhile Ben and Obi Wan look through the planets accessible through their damaged hyperdrive and only find one inhabited world. Tatooine, which most of the royal guards/pilots are horrified about. Still they have no choice so they land. Padme goes with the Jedi despite protests. She wants to see another planet and get some fresh air after what just happened. Panaka lets her go reluctantly because she has two Jedi to guard her. Jar Jar also goes with them because the Utapau humans say he's "stinking the ship up".
We then cut to Utapau again where Nute Gunray and the Nemoidians are talking to captured scientists about their cloning program. They look at something in a cloning tank and look impressed. Then a hologram droid walks in projecting Darth Sidious. He castigates them for their failure in letting the princess get away and they grovel before him again. Darth Sidious says its no matter, as he will send his apprentice, Darth Maul. The Sith warrior himself looks even scarier than in the film we got with him looking like the concept art, he also has blood red robes.
We cut to a balcony on Coruscant where master and apprentice talk. Maul speaks more than in TPM and says how eager he is to get revenge on the jedi, they are no match for me yada yada.
Back on Tatooine in Mos Espa we see our heroes trying to get the part they need. It is a rowdy place and a leering slimy alien (Sebulba but we don't know that yet) tries to touch Padme arm but she elbows him and after that the crowd gives them a wide berth. Obi Wan and Ben sense something, an overpowering aura of the force. They follow it and find themselves in front of Wattos junk shop.
They meet Anakin who is 14 the same age as Padme. He is mature for his age and has a bit of a chip on his shoulder from being a slave. We also meet Watto but he resists the mind tricks because of his strong will, not because of his species. Things go similarly, though the dialogue would be much better, no "are you an angel" in this version. Jar Jar still clumsily breaks a few things but it is more toned down. Watto also hits Anakin and tells him to get back to work. Ben grabs Wattos arms as he is about to hit him again while Obi Wan helps him to his feet.
The heroes get nowhere with Watto especially after stopping Wattos abuse and a sandstorm starts to blow in so Anakin offers to take them to his place. We meet Anakin's adopted mother Shmi Lars and her son Owen Lars who is older (19) and very protective of his little brother. At the dinner scene we learn about Anakin's Podracing (how he's nicknamed Skywalker) and how many people gamble on it for huge sums of money. Ben gets an Idea while we also see just how rare Jedi actually are in most of the galaxy with Owen calling them wizards.
We then see Anakin working on his Pod while talking to Padme. They both share their own struggle going up. Padme says she's never met anyone like Anakin while Anakin says he's never met anyone like her either. He then kisses her on the cheek while Jar Jar (who was watching out of boredom) jumps in surprise. Meanwhile we see the Jedi helping Shmi and Owen with the dishes.
The topic of Anakin's father comes up. We learn that Shmi's sister left Tatooine when she was young in search of adventure. Years later she came back and gave Shmi baby Anakin begging her to take care of him before leaving. She had a lightsaber on her belt same as the two Jedi now. She also tell them how Anakin is special and can see things before they happen, just like her sister.
Ben says Anakin needs to be trained as a Jedi while Obi Wan resists the idea saying he's too old. He's all about giving the family their freedom but not taking along Anakin. Owen is Obi Wans side, saying Anakin's head is already off in the clouds as it is. Being a Jedi won't help him, he needs to be grounded and down to earth. His idealism is going to get him killed. Shmi isn't sure which side to take in the argument and defers judgement until after Anakin hopefully wins the podrace tomorrow.
Ben goes out and talks to Anakin and tells him about the Jedi and the Sith. We get a whole spiel about how strong Anakin is and how he would be a great asset to the order. Meanwhile, Darth Mauls ship lands on Tatooine at dusk and he sets out different probes to find the Jedi and the Princess. He smiles evilly to himself, showing rotting teeth.
The pod racing stuff is basically the same, only Padme is outraged when Sebulba threatens Anakin and Ben/Obi Wan manage to get the freedom of Owen and Shmi as well by trickery (not sure how). There is no two headed announcer and no Jabba cameo either. At the end, in desperation, Anakin uses his force powers to crash Sebulbas pod killing him. Nobody notices that Anakin used the force except the two jedi who look on in concern
While everyone else gathers around Anakin's pod to celebrate Ben and Obi Wan have a heated argument in the shadows of the bleachers. Obi Wan takes this as a reason why Anakin shouldn't be trained while Ben thinks that it would be better to teach Anakin before he falls down the path of evil. Eventually they agree to let Anakin decide, Obi Wan saying he'll probably want to stay with his family.
However Anakin decides to go. His mother respects his decision and is proud of him while Owen is furious, but accepts the decision as well but telling Anakin that one day he'll regret his choice and when he does he's always welcome to come live with them again. The family hugs while everyone else just kind stands around.
They walk back through the desert when they encounter a probe droid. Obi Wan slashes it with his lightsaber and tells everyone to run. Everyone runs inside while Maul approaches in his speeder bike. The fight goes differently as it is a two one one fight. They all exhibit powers never seen in the original trilogy like levitating objects swirling around them, going super fact, and slow motion. Basically a Matrix fight with lightsabers before they both jump onto the ship.
The scenes as they travel to Coruscant are similar. Anakin and Padme miss their parents etc. They then arrive at Coruscant and it is basically like the finished movie in design. They land and meet Chancellor Valorem, Senator Palpatine, and Qui Gon Jinn. Qui Gon hugs Ben like a son while Palpatine talks to Padme. Padme then talks to Jar Jar about how she doesn't understand the rift between the Gungans and the Humans. We then learn that the Gungans have a large army. Padme has an idea and decides to go back to Utapau.
The senate scenes are cut down dramatically. Its more of a montage showing Padme's increasing frustration before she finally calls for a vote of no confidence while Palpatine smiles sinisterly. The Jedi Council meanwhile consists of three members. Qui Gon who is a very unorthodox Jedi mindful of the living force (wanting the jedi to go and help the common people more), Mace Windu a bastion of militaristic conservatism (wanting the Jedi to take their rightful place as generals/leaders, and Yoda who wants to stay the course on isolationism and study of the force.
We don't see the Jedi trials, Anakin just talks about them to Ben, Obi Wan and Qui Gon. He says he didn't understand them, and Qui Gon who has taken a liking to this upstart kid says he wasn't supposed to. They are all called in and Mace says Anakin shall not be trained. He is too old and there is much anger in him. Anakin is heartbroken while Obi Wan nods grimly in acceptance. Ben Kenobi however is not having it. He says he shall train Anakin with or without the councils permission. Mace denounces this as Heresy while Qui Gon smiles. Yoda sighs and says the matter will be decided after this current crisis has ended.
Ben, Obi Wan, and Qui Gon all decide to go with Padme, but Anakin is told to stay behind. There is also the discussion about how Anakin is dangerous which Anakin overhears. Being told by Ben and Qui Gon that he's not a problem and how he will be a Jedi. Anakin gets an idea and sneaks aboard the ship with the help of R2. He is quickly discovered to Obi Wans rage and Bens laughter.
They get back to Utapau and have to go through the blockade. Anakin is able to hyperspace jump between the ships and the planet with motivation from Ben. Our heroes then try to find the Gungans at their city but it has been completely blown up. We actually see this though, as well as Jar Jars sorrow before he remembers the Gungans sacred place.
They go there and like the movie Padme makes a big speech about overcoming difference, with Jar Jar intelligently backing her up. We then get ready for the battle. Anakin tinkers with a disabled battle droid and finds out there is a second droid control hidden somewhere in the palace. So the plan is set. The Gungans will distract the droids, while the humans will infiltrate the palace, one team disabling the backup control systems and the others capturing Nute or stealing starfighters that will be used to take out the droid control ship.
The plan goes into action and things are kind of similar to the finished film, though Jar Jar shows intentional heroism instead of the goofy antics in TPM. When the starfighters are launched though, Padme goes into the fighter with Anakin. Him being the pilot and Padme being the gunner. The rest of the human teams make short work of the battle droids. However when they reach Nute a surprise is awaiting them, clones.
These clones look kind of like Dark Troopers and a Super Battle droid had a kid. They decimate the Utapau soldiers while Nute flees. Meanwhile with the Jedis they disable the secondary control system but are then met with Darth Maul. It is a brutal and awe inspiring fight. 3v1 and yet Maul still comes out on top. He knocks out Qui Gon who falls of the bridge (the duel setting is the same) while taunting the other two. "This is the end of the jedi" you get the drill.
The remaining soldiers manage to kill the clones but there are not enough left to fend of the droids. They are captured same as the Gungans. Ben gets riled up, makes a mistake and is killed. Obi Wan screams and charges getting knocked into the pit, hanging on by a thread. Meanwhile Anakin and Padme manage to destroy the flagship at the same time that Obi Wan takes Ben's lightsaber and cuts Maul in half. He then says "learn not live not as my master says" and then rushes to Bens side.
Ben begs him to train Anakin and he agrees. Meanwhile the humans and Gungans are celebrating. We cut to Qui Gon and Queen Amidala's funeral. Qui Gon throws away his lightsaber and walks off. He is done with the jedi after the death of what was effectively his son. Palpatine looks at him go intrigued. Meanwhile Yoda and Obi Wan argue over Anakin's training. Obi Wan says he will train him even without the will of the council like Ben said. Yoda gives in but warns Obi Wan of his arrogance.
We then get the celebration the end.

2024.05.19 22:13 TheCJK The Gifts We Offer

Gaz had crawled high into the apple tree and was pulling fruit down, lobbing it into the net his sister Tibble was holding out with her four hands. He hooted as he saw Jonathan walking through the rows.
Tibble turned, her blue fluff ruffling. "Human Jonathan! We have gathered many of the apples!"
Jonathan smiled as he approached, noting the large pile stacked on the ground. "Tibble, you have to put them in the baskets. Contact with the dirt will cause them to rot." He laughed. "I've told you this."
She shook her head. "Pyramid shape best. I like this." She pointed at the pile. "This is best way. You said you would make more cider. We like the cider. You will make it for me."
He knelt down and picked up an apple, taking a bite. Juice oozed out around his lips as his teeth pierced the skin of the fruit. He chewed for a moment while looking up at Gaz. "Yes. I said I would. Get these in the baskets and I'll carry them back."
She growled at him. "Piles are best." Tibble then began moving the top of the pile into the basket.
Jonathan sat under the tree as she filled the first basket, finishing off his third apple. She stacked it as high as she could before they started rolling off the top, and he got up. He lifted the basket and started carrying it toward the shed. "I'll be back for the next basket shortly."
He walked the half mile through the ruins of the city and stopped outside the door to the shed. He placed the basket down next to the apple masher and pulled the first apple up. He felt something ping on the back of his neck. Instinctively he scratched it, not remembering the sensation. He scratched a second time before he remembered what that particular vibration meant.
"Ares. Answer transmission."
The silicon based assistant accessed the relay and transmitted it to his subneurals.
An image of a man appeared in his ocular display. "Activation code Xeres Zulu three Kappa Alpha seven." The man said.
Jonathan tensed up and took a long breath before sighing. "Go ahead, admiral I'm guessing?"
"Admiral Alexander Oline, and you are Remnant Jonathan Kurzov?"
"I am."
"You are being activated."
Jonathan shook his head. "I'm retired."
"Retired?" The admiral asked. "You're done being human? I didn't know that was a thing."
"I'm retired from whatever you're wanting to ask me to do. Unless it's gardening, I don't give a shit about whatever you're doing."
Admiral Oline looked away for a moment and then back at Jonathan. "I have a report here describing in depth contact and conflict with an alien species, conducted by you. We received this information along with an application for a species of blue fuzzy creatures to be put under our species protection from a communications relay you and your assistant built. Am I wrong in this?"
Jonathan groaned. "No, you're right. I did a good deed."
Alexander nodded to himself as he looked over the report. "Yes, and now for your punishment." He smiled. "Prior to this, we thought all expansionist missions into your galaxy were extinct. The only traces we have left, before you, are the four sentience probes that were sent with your colonists. Do you still have access to those probes?"
Jonathan shook his head. "Haven't seen them in a few centuries. They left this system to continue scanning."
The admiral nodded. "Well, they have been continuing as programmed. They've been transmitting the entire time, and their data as mothballed during the last era, but now." He paused for a moment, his face growing stern. "A lot has changed since you left the Way. We, humanity, are on a similar path as yourself it seems."
"How so?" Jonathan asked.
"Humanity is making peace with our existence. We have gone back to our roots, trying to find peace in this darkness. Gardening, zen, familial ties, these are major values we have fostered, same as you and your adopted blue friends."
"Well, good for humans. Woo." Jonathan said. "Get to the point Oline. What do you want."
"Okay, I'll cut the curtsies. Those four probes from your expedition, their transmissions got bought up by a young entrepreneur. He went through them, refocused the probes to blue planet and found something. There's a species there, Isopodal, smart, but technologically savage. They're never going to reach beyond their atmosphere. They're planet locked, hell, probably never going to see electricity."
"Okay, so savages are causing a problem how?"
Oline sighed, shutting his eyes for a moment. "He watched them, then shared the feed with his friends, who shared the feed with their friends, and it became a phenomenon. These big bug, they're nice with extended families. They build their homes out of their shed carapaces. The longer they stay in a place, the bigger their homes get. Some are a hundred generations old, children walking through their halls touching the shells of ancestors long long gone. They scavenge, filter feed. The build tunnels to channel wastes from their small towns to the forests nearby, perfect balance with their ecosystem. They don't wage war, plan long term settlements with population quotas, living exactly as how the new human government envisions we should."
Jonathan nodded. "Sounds nice."
Oline sighed again. "It's a whole thing. We have a moon dedicated to making plushies of these things. People love them. The probes have been following specific towns for four decades now. Generations of people are involved in this ideology."
"And where do I fit in?"
"Your conflict with the Brin. Our Isopods biologically cleanse their environments of heavy metals. Their towns are built out of high demand, refined, high value materials. The Brin have since shifted their focus away from your blue fuzzy's and now are predating upon the Isopods."
"Fuck. Alright, I'll put a stop to them. You got coordinates for their homeworld?"
The admiral shook his head. "No, we're not into genocide anymore. We have to consider voters now. Your galaxy is being watched in detail now, with your little communication relay set up. We have to do this hands off, plausible deniability."
"For fuck's sake. Okay. How you wanna do this then?"
"Open source a Hadronic engine, give it to them. Basic freedom fighter protocols."
Jonathan nodded. "Understood."
Admiral Oline looked down at his templates and transmitted them. "Remnant Jonathan Kurzov, you are authorized to commence Project Pandora, classification Ultra Secret."
---===*===---
The father and eldest daughter and melted in the house of her forebears. She screeched through the walls, begging them to get out while she focused on the twins. She grabbed the two balls and tucked them into her filter pouches before running out the front door. She made it out to the beach as the heat intensified and the floating disk began sucking up their home. She stood in the water, her visual plate peaking out from the waves watching as she shivered with sadness. Her feeler appendages stroked the twins in her pouches as they fed from her filters, safe under the water. The beams finished melting down her home, pulling the slag up into the belly of the floating circle. She watched it float slowly away, disappearing down the beach.
She stood in the water, watching the smoldering hole that was her home far into the night. The stars were bright, and a dim glow came from beyond the horizons. She didn't dare leave her home, her ancestors. She kept shivering in grief, then she saw it.
A shadow contorted and a figure moved. Her vision, being as highly sensitive as it was, could barely make it out. She watched as it stood next to her ruins, her family home. A flash came from the thing.
"Fear not." It said as clearly as if it were her own blood.
She tiptoed out of the water, her weight coming back to her as she walked onto the beach. She shimmered back at the creature. "Spare us. Please."
It turned toward her, its face horrible and full of holes. Two orbs peered down at her, sending waves of fear through her shell. "A mother stands before me." It said, reflections appearing in front of it, cascading infrared to her. "I will do more than spare you."
Terror welled up in her and she fell down to the ground, but she resisted the urge to coil up and maintained her gaze upon the creature. "You are not them. You, you are different."
It walked closer to her, moving upon a mere two appendages. It lowered down next to her, extending a manipulator arm toward her. "Chance has sent a plague upon your peoples, one that you will not survive." It stared deep into her visor plate. "My people weep at that thought and offer you, Mother of three now two, a gift."
She could not help herself, and as if commanded without words, she extended two of her manipulator appendages up toward it. It opened up the ball at the end of its arm, five digits unfurling to reveal a black cube. It gently pushed the cube into her two pointed appendages.
"What is it?" She asked, shimmering.
The creature shimmered the air around it, speaking in ways she couldn't. "It is the gift we wish we did not have to give. It is horror, pain, and destruction. You know it in your organs, you feel it thinking about your mate, your daughter. Those that brought this feeling to you, will not stop until you give them this feeling back. This, this will allow you to do so, and I am sorry to have to give it to you."
She looked down at the cube in her points, feeling it as it vibrated across her limbs, reaching into her. Lines traced across her shell as she watched it grow on her. She looked back up toward the being as it crawled across her body but the shadow creature was gone.
A voice spoke to her, vibrations in her very core. "Hephaestus online. Greetings Mother."
She stood, her numerous feet appendages poking into the wet sand. "Where are you, being?" She shimmered with her shell.
"I am in you Mother, and am at your service." It replied within her minds.
"What has happened?" She asked, shivering with fear.
"You have been called upon to save your people."
She looked around before touching her own carapace. "How do I, how do we do that?"
"Where are the survivors?" It asked.
She thought for a moment, visions of the deep, visions of safety in the dark filled her minds.
"Go there. Help them."
She shivered again, defeat in the squish of body, her filters feeling the twins feeding at her sides.
"They will not stop, and more will suffer and die."
She turned her gaze back toward the horizon, seeing the glow of other homes melting in the far distance. "We can stop this?" She asked, now solely using her thoughts.
"I am but your tool. You can stop this." It replied.
---===*===---
She had not been to the vents since she picked her mate. They had fed there, filtering, hardening their shells together while discussing their future family. She could see the flickers of bioluminescence in the dark as she approached, her filters tasting the dense biofilm from the sea. She was close, and the flickers were from many peoples, many different families. She watched them talk, brothers, sisters, mothers, daughters, fathers, grandparents, all missing loved ones. Pain was the primary color, loss and heartache shared through the broken peoples.
She stepped into the outer ring, the heat of the vents warming her and her twins at her sides. Shimmers rose up to her asking who she had lost. She replied. "Mate and eldest daughter." But her reply wasn't heartache, but rather tinged with a new feeling and color. She replied with deep reds, a red tied to a thought from a people people beyond the stars, a red of blood and fire, things she knew nothing about.
The people's around her shifted in confusion at the colors. An elder great mother rose up to her. "You speak confusing daughter. What are you saying? Are you injured?"
She looked around, her visor meeting with dozens of others as they raised up to look at her. "The darkness came to me, spoke with me." She looked at the great mother. "The darkness touched me and has told me what we must do."
The elder mother walked over and touched manipulators with her. "Sit with us daughter, you need to rest. You have come far and need to heal."
"Our mates burn." The Mother of three now two said. "Our children, our families, our fathers burn. Things of light and pain come here and kill us. I will not heal these wounds. I bleed in my organs, pain beyond pain. I will not rest until they cease, until they feel my pain. They will feel this in their organs!" She flashed brighter than those around her thought possible. "I will stop them!"
A father stood up, pain shown in his colors. "They burn us. They are in the sky! How do we stop them? Do you know how? If you know anyway I will lend my spikes to yours. Please, tell us how! Anyone, tell us how." He shouted as bright as he could, lament touching his words.
The Mother of three now two walked over to him, placing her appendages upon his. Dots of blue light shifted from her carapace onto his. She looked into his visor plate and spoke with tinges of red. "The darkness has come and has promised us vengeance."
He flexed his carapace, breathing deep as he sucked in the sea. "What is this?" He asked, his own colors shifting toward the red.
"Our pain made flesh." She replied.
---===*==---
Brin operator Noloc was marking the next metal deposit while the syphons were busy pulling up the slag. It radioed over to buddy Lana. "You nearing full?"
Lana replied back. "Yeah. You want to get food while we empty?"
"Yeah, obviously." It replied. "Care to stimulate bodies while we eat?"
"Yeah obviously." Lana said. "Hey, are you getting any weird readings?"
"Like what?" Noloc asked.
Lana sent over telemetry. "Heat spikes in the water. What are those?"
Noloc looked them over and then scanned the water nearby. "Yeah, I got a dozen near me too. What are those?"
Noloc turned to look out the window just in time to see something leap onto the outer hull of its ship. "Um, one of the native creatures is on my miner."
Lana screamed through the radio.
Noloc shook at the noise and looked back out at the native. The creature was larger than normal, its color darker as well. Noloc watched as the thing curled, hunkering down on the hull. Deep scratching sounds echoed through the ship. "I am in need of assistance." It radioed up toward the mothership. "Assistance needed, native attack."
Telemetry came down. "Wait time for assistance five minutes. Ten minutes. Three hours." It read out, the time continuously increasing.
Noloc looked around. "What is happening! I need assistance!" Another thud on the hull and Noloc looked out to see another native boring into the ship. "Help!"
---===*===---
The Mother walked over to the downed ship and watched as the warriors cut apart the pilot. Hephaestus highlighted the mining beam as she walked across the machinery. She pointed with one of her manipulators. "There Father. We need that piece." She shimmered.
One of the fathers walked over and cut it free with his new sharps. "What is it Mother?"
"It is a tool of light and fire."
He shook, remembering his family burning.
"Remember that pain Father. They will feel it as they burn."
He paused and looked at her. "We will be as they are then. Burners, bringers of pain. That is not who we are."
She felt at the empty filters at her side. "My twins are in the deep with the mothers. That is not who they are, but that is who we must be so they can stay that way."
The Father shimmered back in tones of red. "They will be as we were before."
She flashed understanding. "We will suffer, become the monsters so they won't have to."
He replied understanding.
--===*===---
Three galaxies away, sitting in their living rooms across numerous worlds, humanity watched on. The four probes, hidden in their cloak fields, displayed in completed holographic representations, the forgotten horrors of war. Beams of fire and light rose up from the depths of the seas, melting Brin ships out of the sky. Day after day, the Isopods did what they did, scavenged. More fallen tech fed them, and within three months they had risen out of their gravity well, taking the fight into orbit.
A year later and several scavenged stations and the Isopods had opened up communications, seeking the others hiding in the shadows.
A world of blue fuzzy creatures were quick to respond, welcoming the filter feeders to the galactic community.
The Mother of Three now two was aboard the ship crossing the darkness as the first gathering commenced.

MY REBUTTAL TO THE OBLIGATORY “IS THIS A SCAM?” QUESTION:
At the risk of sounding arrogant, I consider myself to be at least marginally more intelligent (both academically & socially) than the average person.

2024.05.19 22:12 arkoudiou Buying my first scooter

Hi there. I live in Athens, Greece and I'm looking on buying a scooter for daily driving to work and chill rides. My work is around ~50km (32 miles) away. I'm 188cm (6'2") and my budget is kinda limited for now. I would also ride with my wife and maybe she will ride it as well. Both of us are on the bigger size. I'm not looking for something new but I've limited my decision to the Piaggio BV 400 or 500, Kymco xciting 500, Sym Maxsym 400 and lastly the Honda SH300. I know about the reliability of the Honda but it lacks on horsepower and comfort. Any suggestions? Any tips for new riders? Tips I should look out on buying a used bike other than breaks, tires, condition? Thank you for your time
