Hello friends, I’m in a bit of a conundrum and I’m quite desperate, so basically I had recently bought a $100 Amazon gift card with the intention of getting Mw3 Cod point gift cards so I could get the Lilith and Inarius operator bundles in mw3 and also get my younger brother a 2400 Cod Point gift card so he can buy whatever bundle he likes, but when I try to check out with my Amazon balance, they say that I can’t buy gift cards because my Amazon Balance comes from an Amazon gift card, but I can buy anything else from Amazon, but I don’t want anything else right now and I’m extremely desperate and I told my younger brother and he had the idea of asking people on Reddit if they would be willing to trade the account for money so I’m doing that now. all of the $100 are still on the account completely untouched, on a brand new amazon account I made last night just for this gift card, but after I redeemed the gift card on the account last night I found out that you can’t buy gift cards if your balance comes from an Amazon gift card. if you DM me I could give you guys the password to the email attached to the Amazon account, and the username & password to the actual amazon account so you can lockdown the account and put it in your own email if you want, you can also change the password to the email so that way you can completely own it and you don’t have to worry about me trying to do something foul and you could pay me back with just $90 so I can get my CP cards and you can have an Amazon account with a $100 balance, and I’m down to give you my full name and FaceTime you so that you know what I look like, and so if I were to screw you over I’d have to face you. I try my best to be a good and honest person and so if someone were to take a chance on me I would 100% deliver and seriously appreciate it although there’s no way you could 100% know cause I’m just a random dude on the internet but I would hate to get scammed and so if we could figure out a way to make the trade to where both people are safe from getting scammed I’m completely down, I’m pretty desperate
honestly, I’d love to FaceTime you afterwards to thank you face-to-face Annnnnd if you’re down we could squad up and throw down in Warzone :) I’m not crazy good but I can handle myself
TLDR: Bought $100 Amazon gift card to buy Cod Points and just found out that Amazon won’t let me buy them because the balance came from a gift card so now I’m looking to see if anyone will buy my $100 Amazon account for $100-90

A flicker of light started to drain away the darkness I was so used to. The darkness where I felt most comfortable and at peace. The flicker slowly enveloped the entire pitch black room within minutes. I could do nothing but sigh in disappointment and open my eyes.
My adjusting eyes were being harassed by the tiny beam of light that made it through my curtain. Where it's at the precise angle that you swear some higher power is just messing with you.
My groggy eyes focused on the clock, it was 7:00 a. M.
Time for work.
The day was April 14th, 2014. A Monday. I knew I only had about an hour to get up, get ready for work, shower, make breakfast and make sure I get to work a few minutes early so I didn't clock in late.
I was only 28 years old and I hated my sales job. I had gone to college and got my marketing degree but I never thought I'd end up here.. selling bullshit products at incredibly hiked prices to unsuspecting or oblivious customers.
I had been doing this job for 3 years and it felt like everyday was just going to be worse. Just a buildup of hatred for your job overtime is natural I guess. Typically people find ways to cope with the constant 9-5 grind. Like going out with friends or clubbing or whatever...but I had none of those.
When my days ended I would go home and watch Netflix and drink then do it all again. I wish it was different, I wish I had the motivation to change myself. But it's difficult when you have no one to support you in your efforts. My mom died from breast cancer when I was 12. Seeing her on hospice for several months suffering from stage 4 cancer was...something you shouldn't see as a 12 year old. To see your once lovely, athletic, hilarious, loving and caring mother degrade into an 85 pound, drug-induced, horrifyingly thin creature that in no way resembled her from my memories of when she was cancer free.
I remember one morning my dad woke me up and said "come to the living room...your mother is taking her last breathes". As soon as he finished that sentence, my memories flooded back...memories of her taking care of me when I was sick, being at my soccer games cheering me on, asking how my day was when I got back from school, leaning on her shoulder as we sat in church. The memories came and went in an instant and the reality set in. My heart at first skipped a few beats but then accelerated to an unhealthy pace. My head started to spin, tears slowly started swelling up on my eyes.
I had jumped off the bed and sprinted to the living room. She was facing away from me and the first thing I noticed are how purple/ blue her feet are. I walk around the hospice nurse and look at my mother's face. She was place, her breathing was almost non-existent for almost 2 minutes but still there...until it wasn't...she was gone.
I was lost, my dad was bawling. I was crying too but at 12 years old I didn't know how hard the reality would hit as time goes on.
In my lost state, I turned on the TV show "MONK" on the laptop. It was a show my mom and I used to watch, and I figured watching it would make me feel like I'm with her again.
Time went on and I realized how losing a mother truly impacts your younger years. But time still, moved on yet.
I got in my car and left for work. The drive to the office was only about half an hour. I put my sunglasses on as I'm travelling east for almost the entire drive, something I was used to by this point. The drive to work was uneventful other than the usual jackass that cuts you off or is speeding down the road.
I made it to work and stepped out of my car. For some reason, grabbed my backpack and shut the door. For some reason the thought of my mother came across my mind. The sighed, looked down at the ground and stared at the concrete for the few seconds while only thinking of how I missed her. Then the thought vanished and I got on with my life.
The day was incredibly boring, only sold a couple of products, I dealt with people in the east coast of the U.S. and customers there are always so nasty and rude with their comments. It's impossible to build rapport with them. I'm jealous of the employees that have West coast as their territory.
The day ended with my last call but no sales for the day. Hopped in my car and drove back home.
Now I've already told you what I do when I get home. Just drink and watch Netflix. And that's exactly what I did. I can't remember the name of the show( probably because I was already tipsy) but it had to do with strange phenomenons.
I don't even remember passing out but I do remember being there in that dark room again; it was so comfortable and cozy. I sat in the corner of the room with eyes wide closed ...no people, nothing to disturb me, just... nothingness of warmth.
For hours this went on until I heard a woman's voice saying "I'm glad you're here". suddenly realizing that I had overslept my body jolted awake, completely forgetting about that eerie voice. Drinking on a Monday night is not a good idea. Blurry and in a haze trying to concentrate my focus I made out the clock saying 7:00 a.m. April 15th, 2014.
I thought how odd that was. I've been doing the same job with the same schedule for 3 years now and I know when I oversleep. Yet knowing this brought a mental smile to my mind, as my supervisor won't get on my ass for showing up late, again.
I got up lazily and stretched and got on with my morning routine. Finally got dressed and hopped in my car to leave for work. I was only about 5 minutes in when I realized something was off...why was I wearing sunglasses? The sun was behind me, not in front. I took my glasses off and read my car dashboard compass; "EAST".
I have taken this drive for 3 years now every Monday through Friday and I had always worn sunglasses for the drive to the office. I looked behind me and saw the sun rising from the west.
I was still calm, but subconsciously I could tell my panic and anxiety were building with what I was experiencing. I decided to pull over at a gas station, took my phone out and opened my GPS. 'I was still facing east.
I quietly stated "what the fuck". I looked up and asked the person next to me pumping gas " look! The sun! It's rising from the west" with an ecstatic and speedy tone. He looked at me with a smile on his face and said "yeah? Don't ya know it's always rose from the west".
The reality of this was starting to set on, anxiety building, I got back in my car and just sat there... Running my hands through my hair, pulling and stretching my face wondering what the hell was happening? My eyes were staring wide at the brake and gas pedal...trying to find some kind of logical explanation for this while still running my hands over my face and hair.
I decided to take my phone out again and click on trending news hoping to see something explaining or even acknowledging this phenomenon. Nothing. I opened Google search and looked up "sun rising in west" the first thing that popped up said Earth is rotating about its own axis from East to West".
This wasn't right.
I figured I would try to get to work and maybe one of my coworkers would have some answer. My entire body was shaking for the entire drive but I made it".
I got out of the car and the strangest thing came across my mind. A memory. A very unique memory of back when I was 12, in the back yard playing capture the flag with my neighbor that lived behind me. A time which I could go back when.
The memory came and vanished in an instant, but left the overwhelming feeling of nostalgia and sadness.
I walked into the office and started asking around about the sun. Again, none of them knew what I was talking about, but before they answered my question, they would say "oh hey, it's nice to have you here" or "we're glad to have you here" all with a smile on their faces.
Not super weird as my coworkers are typically super energetic happy people. But it did become weird when my east coast clients started answering their phones saying "hey, you're always welcome here"
I couldn't see their faces but I could tell by their tone and attitude that they were smiling. This was not normal. I rushed to the bathroom, opened a stall and sat on the toilet. I started having a panic attack. Nothing was right, the people, the sun, the specific memories... I started to run my hands over my face, stretching and contorting it, trying to calm myself down with feeling my heart bursting out of my chest. I started to whimper, I didn't want anyone outside of the stalls to hear me. None of my coworkers were right, the guy at the gas station wasn't right...nothing. years swelled up in my eyes and a brief memory of my mom came back.
It was me, coming home from school, I walked inside and could smell the pizza she was making. I see and her and asks me hey, how was your day?".
This memory helped calm me down from the wreck I was turning into. I took several deep breaths, tried my very best to compose myself, and stepped out of the stall. I ended up taking some paper towels and wiped away the tears that were caught in my eyes.
I decided that I will just try to finish this day because tomorrow everything would be back to normal...I have to reassure myself that I would be, I just knew it would be....it had to be.
I sat down back at my desk and my phone rang, picked it up and a voice came through. The voice of my mother asking " I am so glad you are here, Luke".
I was frozen, shocking, tingly sensations ran through my entire body. My demeaner instantly changed into fight or flight mode...but I chose the 3rd... freeze.
Phone still up to my ear, I heard her speak again. "Oh honey, Luke my sweet boy, don't you remember?".
I didn't reply verbally, but mentally I was thinking "remember...what the hell is...remember what?"
Then she spoke one last time, "last night, you saw the sun".
Then the memory of the night before races back into my mind. I was on my drive home from work, watching the beautiful sunset over the horizon. With all it's beautiful mixtures of orange, red, purple. I was so just staring at it...in a trance, thinking of how I wanted to go back and just be a kid again, play with my back door neighbor, come home to my mom. Why couldn't I just go back?
I suddenly hear a blaring car horn and then blackness.
I believe I died on April 15th, 2014. And I don't mind it. I like being in this black empty room just sitting in the corner..with nothing but warm emptiness to fill my cold shell. I like feeling the embraces of it's comfort over the tiring lifestyle I was living. My only dream was that I could dream forever...and now it's finally been achieved.
I miss my mother, and I know she misses me, the memories I have of her will keep me warm in this blackened wasteland forever.

I recently took my 2020 Hyundai Kona Electric to the dealer for routine service. I'm not naming the dealer because I am still not sure if my bad experience was a deliberate attempt at a scam or an honest mistake. There isn't much maintenance to do on an EV other than an inspection and a tire rotation, and the service is free. When the technician was finished I was shown a digital photo attached to my work order, displayed on a service rep's computer screen. The photo showed a tire with a large nail in it. I was advised to leave my car at the dealer so they could order a replacement tire and change it the following day. The price quoted for one tire was $324. Since I hadn't suspected any tire problem before being shown the photo, I said I'd rather drive home and come back the next day. After some discussion, and after being advised to drive slowly for safety, my Kona was released to me. In the parking lot I closely inspected all 4 tires and didn't see any damage. I summoned a technician to look at the tires. He couldn't find any damage either. The vehicle was then driven back into the shop and put up on a lift. Still no damage could be found. Eventually the young guy who allegedly attached the tire photo to my work order claimed that he had simply attached the photo to the the wrong work order, He said that the damaged tire was on another customer's vehicle. I don't know whether to believe this story or not. Maybe some of these jokers thought they could fool a 75-year-old man with a bit of digital deception. Regardless, I'm certainly glad that I checked the tires myself, saving $324 plus labor to replace a tire that had no damage at all. Maybe the plan was to steal my "damaged" tire and sell it on eBay. Who knows? Buyer beware!

I have never shared this story with anyone for 30 years including my wife and friends because I know they would laugh at me. They know I am a man of science and am always skeptical of any religious beliefs. I have a Degree in Zoology and I can’t think anything beyond evolution and genetics. This is a real story from my childhood which I am going to share with you all. I would appreciate if you read the entire long post (save it for later if need be) especially the description of the Jinn(s) (yes, 's' they come in groups)….
A little background about me (for context)…
I was born back in the 80’s in a small town in India up in the mountains. It was nothing like the India that you see in the news. That town was full of young people from all around the place because it had a big science college (big for that time and place) and everyone was into science & rock metal (not sure why rock), may be because it had some influence of British culture who setup “shop” (aham! colony) in that town long time back.
STORY BEGINS: Anyways, my mother was always sick because of her diabetes which had affected her other organs. My father, a religious man, was wealthy enough to get all modern medicines available at that time for her, but nothing worked.
One day someone suggested him to go meet “a man” (don’t remember his name) in a small village located ~300 miles away. My father had never heard of that village so he took help from a family friend to be his guide. We hired a car and my family along with his friend’s family went in search of that mysterious man.
ON THE WAY: On the way, we were asking people for the exact direction to the village (no internet back then). Some guided us, some were totally oblivious. We did find one person on the road who *warned* us not to go there…I don’t remember anything else about that journey other than that strangers warning….
FOUND ‘The Man': To keep the story short I will skip some minor details. We did eventually find the man we were looking for. I was expecting him to look like a wizard with skulls all around his house but he was a thin looking man, with beard, in a normal white gown. Nothing special about him other than his aura and a mild sweet smell around him.
He asked my father to go to a nearby village and bring some fruits for the “process”, especially “~Apples~”. He asked us to stay in his house till sunset and then it began….
~THE JINN:~ The man asked us to cover our eyes with cloth or stay in a different room while he did the process. Even he covered his entire head with a white cloth. The apples and other fruits were on a table, in a different room. He said it was for the "little ones". I didn't understand what he meant. I remember he had a “~bowl of water~” that he was constantly looking at. He started chanting some verses in a low voice and we were just waiting…and waiting…and waiting....nothing happened…..Then…. the entire house started shaking…. Yes, not just one table or one chair…. The entire freakin house started shaking and we could hear nearby trees sway and sounds of leaf’s falling…. then we heard voices in the other room.
~DETAILS ABOUT THE JINN:~ It seemed like there were more than one in that room. They sounded like children, ‘very mischievous children’ but their voices were not human. You could hear the excitement in their voice when they saw those apples. It sounded like the small ones started fighting with each other. Even if I couldn’t understand what they were saying, I could tell they were happy (like, if you listen to hyenas fighting for food).
Then came a BIG heavy voice which literally shook the windows. It seems like it commanded "shut-up" to those small ones. All the small noises just vanished in an instant. It was as if I was in a vacuum because there was no sound at all. Like not even a cricket chirping around the forest.
The man chanting the verse (still his eyes fixed in the bowl of water) told my mother to ask her question to the Jinn. My mother, (who was multilingual) asked if she would ever get cured. The BIG guy said something in a heavy voice in a language that I couldn’t understand. But my mother did. She didn’t ask any more questions. My father also asked some questions and so did the friend’s family, but honestly, I don’t even remember what they were as it was so overwhelming for me as a kid.
I do remember seeing a glimpse of a huge broken 'mango tree’ in the other room that was not previously there. I am 100% sure it was not there before as I checked that room out of curiosity before the process began. Not even sure how it got there. We asked the man where did this come from and he said "They" bring it along with them every time for some reason. We left the place all confused and on the way my father barely spoke.
CONCLUSION: "The man" ~didn’t take any money~ from us for doing this. He said he would "~lose his gift~~"~ if he did it for money. My father, however, gave him the remaining of the fruits that he bought as a token of gesture. Just some leftover fruits, not money.
As a grown-up man now, I still don’t believe what I heard or saw that day and my mind has always tried to push this experience in some corner of my brain. But for some reason I thought of sharing it with you all after almost 30 years….

THANK YOU for reading my story.

Its been a while since I expressed myself, so here it goes for today's events.
I'm 34M. I developed a crush on a 22F which I supported into joining the same company as me and really want to see her stand on her own legs and make a name for herself.
Unfortunately for me, I developed feelings for her. At some point she told me she would like to keep the relationship professional because of my position being higher than hers. Mind you, its not like Im her manager or anything, we're simply working in the same group, not on the same project though. Anyways, I respected her decision.
Fast forwards months, we go on a hike today. I see her being very intimate with a muslim colleague. I'm talking fairly traditional one, respecting ramadan etc. So here I am remembering her talks about "me being senior to her and that she doesn't want other to thing she's getting the easy way upwards" as if Im some sort of higher management? Im not! And there she is being close with this guy.
I've wished for this! I've wished for someone special to be that close to me! And I found someone to come work for the same company as I do and what does she do? She dates that guy!
Apologies to any muslim person who might be reading this. My last best colleague who used to have coffees with me was muslim, albeit not a religious one. I cannot for the sake of me understand why would anyone, especially a woman, have any dealings with a religious one. He seems the whole package, trying to wow her, being all kinds of nice to her and Im 100% sure he will follow the stereotype of being the proper muslim guy; making sure the male children are muslims, that she converts to islamism just to please the parents, that she treats her badly etc
Sorry, I know that all muslims are not like this, but there are some that are. And I have a strong feeling he's one of them. He's too "nice". I simply don't like him. Call it jealousy, call it whatever, I don't like it.
Im at a loss. I've been to this hike today with him and her. I've been to a colleagues dinner invitation later, where I drunk 3.5L of beer that made me really drunk. Now Im here writing this and tomorrow I have to go to work and face her?
Fuck this shit.

This is a rant post/story. I'll try and keep it short, but it'll still be long lol.
I work at a non profit thrift store. I'm the recieving attendant (all products are donations, I just decide if we can take it or not based on condition). I've worked for this place on and off for almost 10 years. I generally like it, I've known most of the employees for a long time now. I started working for the store again about 1 year ago and at this point they have a new assistant manager.
First off I give credit where it's due. The man's a hard worker, and takes his job seriously, you could argue too seriously. But when I started back up I had a few workers and couple of volunteers pull me aside and say things along the lines of " this guy has a big ego and is a bit of a power tripper, just try not to let it get to you so much" I appreciated the heads up so I was at least somewhat prepared lol. I definitely picked up on it when he would address himself as "assistant store supervisor" anytime someone called or he spoke to a customer who had questions or complaints. Always going by his job title instead of his name. Since I'm the younger one he always calls me by my first name in kind of a demeaning tone, or talks to me like I'm an idiot for having questions about certain items like I should know what name brands are good or worth more. Hey it's all just items to me right? I learned to just placate him and keep basic conversations neutral like video games and old movies. Seems to work the best.
I remember my boss had to have a conversation with me about my dependability due to health reasons and asked if I feel I'm being overworked and want to consider cutting back to part time? She had called me to her office to talk about this and the assistant manager (Mr. Ego) was happy to follow her in the office with me in hopes I'd be reprimanded.You could just see his snarky grin lol. I stepped into her office and she told me to shut the door behind me. She told the assistant manager it was a conversation between just her and I and that he didn't need to be there. I swear you could almost feel his disappointment that he wasn't included in this "serious matter".
Time goes on, he is who he is, work relationship got quite a bit better to my surprise honestly.
They hired a new employee about a month ago and now she's unfortunately had to experience it herself. What happened was a guy showed up with a chair in his van and I couldn't really get a good look at it so I went ahead and told him to pull up to furniture recieving and they get the final say. The new girl does a little bit of everything so she was just curious on how things worked in recieving so she was helping me out. Apparently the guy with the chair had told the people in furniture recieving that the lady said we would for sure take it and before they could even get a good look he dumped it off then sped out of there. Her and I were in the middle of recieving more stuff so we didn't even know what had happened.
Suddenly he comes back to main recieving and straight up yelled across the room for everyone to hear, Hey! Calling her by name. You don't ever tell people that we'll take furniture without looking at it first! Just send them to furniture recieving and let them decide because now we have a trash piece of furniture taking up space because you told him we'd take it without question! Then he went to the office and slammed the door behind him.
This lady is about 35 years older than him btw (So much for respecting your elders). So I did what others had done for me and pulled her aside and said "try not to let it get to you, he's more angry at the overall situation" her response was very valid, "there's two sides to every story and that it's his job as a manager to keep his emotions in check instead of calling her out in front of everyone and embarrassing her like that" I agreed and again tried to tell her to brush it off.
This all took place when our main manager was away at a meeting otherwise he never would have went completely ballistic over it. At least not in front of everyone. Main manager comes back a couple hours later. The assistant manager pulled the new girl aside more privately which he should have done in the first place to ask exactly what had happened. The new girl asks if I can come because I was there too as a witness? In my mind I'm thinking don't bring me into this, me and him aren't exactly best friends lol. But I went with them anyways, as I was there and would want someone to have my back too I guess. He asked her what she noticed about the chair? At first we didn't notice anything. Then he spun it around and there was a big tare along the seems which split the leather really bad. He then asked me how it looked in his van. I told him the nice side was facing us and we couldn't move the chair to get a better look hence why we had him go to the loading dock otherwise we would have turned it down then and there. He was a little more cooled off at this time so just told us if you see that vehicle again to let him know right away.
He likes to play store "security" like a hot shot lol. I'm going to try and be nice but he's a stereotypical power tripper with signs that you'd expect. He's almost completely bald at 35 (we're guys, just let it go man it happens to a lot of us lol) he's about 100 lbs overweight maybe more, around 5'4 the size of our sweet little old lady volunteers, lives with his parents (which I won't pitch him too much shit for because things have gotten very expensive, especially if you're single), doesn't drive, I wouldn't be surprised if he's never spoken to a woman by himself let alone kissed one.
I mostly think it's because he feels inadequate. He has 3 brother's all in law enforcement. His oldest brother is a Sherriff deputy his 2nd oldest brother is a police officer in Seattle and his brother who's only a couple years older is a corrections officer. His father is a military vet. Meanwhile he ended up being a college dropout assistant thrift store manager at 2 different thrift stores including our current one. I just think he should look for another line of work. I think it could be beneficial for his sense of self worth and overall mental health to see a therapist. We all have bad days, but come on man we work at a thrift store we're not burly construction workers or loggers lol, just calm down a little ya know lol.
Anyways thanks for reading my long rant post lol. Wishing everyone true happiness ✌

23rd: Jane Bright (Nicaragua - 6th)

A deserving, incredible Survivor endgame level character standing next to Jane Bright.
u/SMC0629:
I don't have Jane in my personal endgame, but I'm not mad at all that she made it here. She's probably the most divisive character in Nicaragua, but I personally love her. She's got a spunky attitude, has a great rivalry with Marty, great relationship with Chase, and has one of my favorite eliminations ever. Her boot is so god damn memorable, that lasting moment of the alliance telling her it's gonna be her tonight, with Jane in complete shock and despair is just perfect. One of the best characters of Nicaragua for sure.

u/DryBonesKing:
Jane is on a very small list of players who I think has run the entire spectrum in terms of where they land in my rankings. Top ten, top hundred, middle of the pack, bottom hundred, bottom ten… I think I understand pretty much every Jane take known to humanity, cause I’ve had them. Nowadays, I tend to lean more positive on her, but I definitely still have too many issues I’m hyper aware of to let her rank too highly for me.
“What if we have Rupert’s hero edit to someone who was just really really mean, and did the bare minimum to hide it” is genuinely hilarious to me. Jane’s got good energy and her many, many, many feuds (the majority of which being with Marty) make her a great character to guide the narrative. There’s also just her boot episode, which is like… way too good of an episode for Nicaragua. I think I’m neutral-lean positive on Nicaragua, but it’s not a season that does a ton for me, but dear god, Jane’s boot and the scene of her dousing the camp fire is like so fucking metal.
She’s such a raw, powerful person. I think my biggest issue with her right now is just that, in a similar vein to Brandon Hantz, sometimes she feels a little too real at times. Like is she funny when she’s talking shit about Marty? Yes! Is the story great? Yes! But does some of what she says about Marty and his kids feel a bit too much? Yes, very much so. It’s not enough to detract from her character, but again… Brandon Hantz-tier of character. For me, that’s a pretty big compliment, but I also do not keep him in my Top 100. Same with Jane. But despite being one of the names that made Endgame that I disagree with the most, I am very curious and excited to see our resident “Least Sane Jane Bright Enjoyer” spin a tale or two about why she deserves to be up here!
Overall Rank – 138/821
~
u/Zanthosus:
While I disagree with her being endgame, I understand the reasoning and defense behind it. I respect the hustle that Tom did to get her here and I’m happy for him that Jane made her first endgame.
~
u/Regnisyak1:
I love that Jane is here, I am not even going to lie. Before my recent rewatch, I had Jane in the 200s, and after my rewatch, I was completely blown away at how complex her character is and the great relationships she had all season. To me, she felt real with her hatred, and the switch between the dry laugh we know her for, to the nasty person she became was endlessly incredible, she was such a great part of Nicaragua and one of the few praises I have for that season. Plus, when she finds out Chase, Holly, and Sash are voting for her, the music change and piano chord that happens there might be the piece media I have ever seen. Congrats Tom for getting her here!

u/ninjedi1:
Nicaragua is such a great season due to how emotionally charged it is, and Jane is a big part of that. Jane is the sweet southern lady until she feels crossed, then she has a whole vendetta against anyone who crosses her, so it's a lot of great fun. She is not in my personal endgame, but I can always appreciate a kooky character showing up in it.

Jane Bright:
This is undoubtedly my most anticipated write up of the rankdown, I have such a love for Jane and everything she does for Nicaragua. She has one of the best stories of all time, and just has so many moments that further it and make it cohesive. And that is what I will explain today. Jane is not just some badass southern old lady, ok well she is, but she’s also a very deep, broken old lady trying to put on a facade for herself. Her hatred towards everyone around her has its story and here it is…
The Mask
A lot like Rupert, Jane tries to paint a mask on herself as a hero and somebody who always follows her heart for the greater good. However, throughout the season we see cracks start to arise in this persona she puts on herself. She’s someone who needs a purpose and when somebody gets in the way of that, she gets insecure and bitter and that’s when we see the wrath of Jane break out.
The editors never try to pull the wool over your eyes by painting her as a hero, because they show petty rivalries with her and Marty and her boot episode meltdown. We get to see her from all angles, even if she only wants to present one. She’s insecure about herself, making her feel entitled to be treated as a queen and carried to the end due to her “heroic” manner. Once she realizes it doesn’t work like that and she actually has to play the game, all gloves come off and we get some of the most petty, uncalled for, or even bitchy moments that just have so much raw emotion.
She’s not painted as a hero while being an asshole (*cough* Ozzy *cough*) They show her as her flawed self, but they also let you make your own decision on what to feel without pushing a narrative onto you. Of course she wins Favorite Player at the reunion, so some people still thought she was a hero but you get to see this very broken and entitled person struggling. She really hates everyone but that’s not what she can show because that’s now who she wants to be and it’s such a complicated story arc throughout the season that we see the cracks grow and it’s told so subtlety but perfectly. And this is only the tip of the iceberg with how deep this old southern lady is.
Without this defining feature, she’d just be a badass southern lady but with it she becomes so much more just adding to this brilliant story building up all season until her boot episode. Her masking her real personality just makes her a much more complex character and when we see these glimpses of it, you start to realize, ohhh this is the person I’m supporting.
Even on top of the mask, there is so much more to Jane’s character…
Grief
When you watch Nicaragua for the first time, this part of her character is not inherently obvious. Grief?!? What are you talking about? She just seems like a badass until she’s a bitter old hag for being the target. While, yes that’s a very simplified version of this, there’s so much more to dissect there. The grieving of her husband, greatly plays a role in her story, and although it’s sometimes subtle you can see how it play into it so beautifully well.
In her very first confessional, what do we see Jane say?
“They think I'm some middle aged housewife that tootles around the house all day long, they’re in for a big surprise. Because that is definitely not me. I'm fifty-six years old and I'm the type person that stays busy all the time doing things. I just don't think there's anything I can't do. Winning the million dollars is real important to me ‘cause it’ll help me pay off my farm and the fact that I lost my husband, uh, in '09, it-it-it means I wouldn't have to work as hard as I do. But his spirit, I know is still with me and that's what keeps me going.”
Her husband obviously is impacting her mentally during this season, and we see this throughout the game. Every Time somebody makes a gesture that they want her out, her personal viper just breaks out. This is because she knows this is getting in the way of her dream, and the spirit of her husband that made her want to do this and she’s not letting anybody take that from her.
She’s still grieving and wants to win for her husband, and it is a very sweet story but sadly it takes a dark turn as she starts using this as entitlement for her to win. She believes she’s obligated to be brought to the end because of who she is and the loss of her husband and yeah, it’s dark but damn is it good when you think about it.
This is also why the family visit is SO important to her story in her boot episode. Right when her daughter, Ashley gets there, she starts talking about her husband and how Ashley is the one she is doing this for, to help her. This is WHO SHE IS FIGHTING FOR!
That is why it hits so hard when everyone flips on her! How dare they! She thinks. These people are voting me out right after I fought my hardest to give my daughter a better life?!? She’s one of the only I have left, this is disgusting. It’s so sad but at the same time it’s brilliantly shown not told. And what do you know, when Jane is talking about Sash’s mama raising him, she immediately brings up her daughter, just ugh how perfect does it round back to her family and her grief with loss.
Now obviously, does that make her outrage justified, I don’t know, maybe? Is she still kind of a bitch? probably! Is she a badass? Probably! That leads me to my next point.
Perspective
If you have read a lot of my other writeups on Nicaragua you would have noticed I love to talk about the perspective a lot of these characters receive on the season. Complimenting how diverse they can be seen depending on your morals or values. No character represents this better than Jane Bright.
How do I know this? Well let’s look at her placements in Rankdowns Past:
SRI - 485/501 - Seen as a bitchy, entitled, worse version of NaOnka, and someone who went way too personal in the game.
SRII - 455/537 - Seen as annoying and sour, forced fan favorite edit not giving her the trashing she deserved by the other tribemates.
SRIII - 549/575 - Seen as a narcissist and self-righteous, below the belt remarks and “a human embodiment of a rash” (that made me laugh a bit).
SRIV - 518/615 - Seen as an ultimately fascinating character, who got a dishonest edit that didn’t show her true side until the end. Ultimately ending up as an unlikable “venomous bitch” who somehow won fan favorite.
SRV - 108/653 - Seen as a great T.V personality whose kooky first half and vigorous 2nd half make for a good story and uplifts everyone around her while also being a great character.
SRVI - 127/731 (Had to be idoled to get here though smh) - Seen as a badass challenge competitor who is actually sour, who unfairly attacked Marty and is a bit too much when it comes to her toxic side to make her slightly less good.
SRVII - 185/767 - Seen as an extremely authentic personality and very entertaining to the chaos of Nicaragua, as well as having an iconic rivalry with Marty, being an iconic mother.
See the difference between one half and the other? Yeah, that shows just how well of a character she is edited as. She has so many times where she is shown to be a hero but juxtaposed with so many times she is shown as an asshole and it works off each scene perfectly. This is why we get such a difference of opinion and I think it’s told so well to where most people don’t even see it.
You have to weigh her good and bad and see based on your morals, if she’s a good person or not, and how acceptable or right was she for her constant hatred of others? I really love that as they aren’t trying to make you think a specific feeling about her. You need to come up with that conclusion yourself on how you think she is, that’s why she won the fan favorite vote in 2011 but today many call her an entitled bitch. (And yeah, she is but that’s a lot of what makes her so amazing).
Her kicking ass in challenges and being a lively spirit contrasted to her nasty demeanor to Jill and especially Marty personally attacking them and her boot episode meltdown, contribute to making one of the most wishy-washy characters when it comes to people’s opinions on her. I don’t what to be told how to feel, I want to come up with it on my own, and I feel like a lot of that has been lost in recent years of Survivor and seeing Jane and having all these different perspectives on her personality just adds so much life.
There is a reason why so many people despise her and so many people love her, she’s just edited that well to where people have had to come up with their own feelings about Jane. Not being coerced to feel a certain way, and I feel that is the best way to edit a character. What you see is what you see, not an objective stance the show is trying to put onto you, and I feel all of Nicaragua shows this but Jane is the prime example. Perspective means everything with her.
This makes her one of the most complex characters of all time, she’s either a broken woman seeking admiration, an entitled bitch, or a badass southern lady who is an inspiration. It’s all based on what you value and isn’t that what Survivor is all about, a social experiment where you weigh your values and personalities with each other to build a society.
Speaking of building a society, how is Jane’s relationships with the cast, well let’s see her main stars:
Sash: Jane and Sash’s dynamic isn’t really shown and I think that actually helps her and Sash’s story. Sash is sleazy and doesn’t really make any genuine connections and we see that in her breakdown scene. When you watch the moment she learns she’s going home and the confessional she gives, you see a direct tone shift from how she talks about Chase and how she talks about Sash. When she’s almost crying about Chase and his betrayal, she is outright vile and nasty when talking about Sash. Showing this major lack of connection between them, that she never saw him as a friend and will not hold back from releasing her rage on him.
Chase: Jane and Chase’s connection is one for the books. Both being from North Carolina and being southern types, they instantly bond and feel close to each other. Their relationship just feels more special than anyone else’s that season, that’s what makes the betrayal so much more entertaining. You literally see her about to cry over Chase, they really were close and got to know each other and just to have him stab her in the back, it’s so good. It just felt special but it wasn’t enough for him to not cut her…
Now how could you talk about relationships and not bring up Jane’s defining one…
Fartay:
Come on! This rivalry is one of if not the best rivalry in all of Survivor. They just despise each other and really are either of them in the right? Not at all, that’s what makes it so great. Marty’s a sleazeball, cocky, and a smart ass while Jane’s an entitled, bitter, old lady and they just work so well off each other. You just have personal jab after personal jab that is just so entertaining and perfectly helps tell Jane’s story.
There is really no reason why they should hate each other as much as they do but their walks of life and personalities just clash so hard that you still understand why they hate each other. Jane takes everything Marty does to heart without any grain of salt, and it makes her reactions so visceral and truly legendary. It’s what makes Jane the Jane we love to love or love to hate!
Now, I think it’s time to talk about the pinnacle of Jane. Her magnum opus if you will… her boot episode.
The Wrath of Jane Will Break Out Tonight
This is one of my favorite episodes of Reality TV. Everything about it is perfect and told in such a way to where it’s the perfect ending for such a broken character.
Building her up with her daughter coming during the family visit, talking about her and how much she wants to provide for her. Having a seed planted in Jane’s brain after she’s not taken to the reward thinking she was entitled to be brought.
Fabio winning immunity, throwing everything for a loop, just when Jane’s attitude has really started to shift and then we get to the scene. Which personally is my favorite scene in all of Survivor without a doubt. The scene where the alliance tells her it has changed and she’s going home is so brilliant. The raw awkwardness and silence next to Jane’s utter disbelief and anger. After she flips them off it is followed by again my favorite confessional of all time.
This is what she has been building up to, everything just falls about when she believed she deserved to win. Having such raw and unfiltered emotions where she’s about to break down and cry and then the turn to anger and fury bringing Sash’s mother into it, talking about how she raised a damn liar. (WITH THAT HEAD COCK THOUGH) All with very subtle sound effects or just no music at all until she gets up and makes one last hoorah by pouring water on the fire. “I started and I put it out” 🔥🔥🔥
Then we get to tribal, where Jane is just done with the bullshit and just calls everyone out for being liars and backstabbers. “The writings on the wall Fabio!” Like come on, that is TV gold, followed by the vote having Chase and Sash “cowardly” play their idols sticking it to Jane when she is already at her lowest by not even having her vote count. She leaves bitter and broken, not the happy ending she felt she deserved.
Mortgage Gate
I’m putting this here because that’s where it best fits, and this is brief because it doesn’t really affect my rankings on Jane because it’s not in the season.
I wish they did show this though, as having this added layer of controversy between Sash and Jane with real world implications would have been amazing, even if what Jane is saying isn’t true it still would’ve shown her as an ass, making up lies just to make someone look worse. I just think it’s such an interesting topic to discuss that I wanted to give it its own section. Sash is sleazy so I wouldn’t pass him to do that, however Jane is extremely bitter and entitled so I could also see her making that up, I guess we'll never really know will we… (I know Marty called the incident fake, but it’s Marty, of course he’s gonna dispute whatever Jane says, if she says the sky is blue, he’ll say it’s orange).
I'm Not Breaking My Tile!
This kind of relates to the mask section of this write up. However, I wanted to talk specifically about Jane’s challenge prowess and wins throughout the season and how much it adds to this arc. Building her up as this badass figure competing against big guys half her age and actually winning?!? It gives an excellent face to the real Jane, having this much courage to go against Chase and Fabio even after winning, not only being such a badass in that moment but showing how she’s trying to play up this persona of old challenge great.
Jane, The Tribe Has Spoken
So in conclusion, you can see that when you really glance over Nicaragua you don’t see Jane as some sort of deep character. However, when you really look into her and her actions and motives you see a broken old lady who is obviously grieving. She is such a deep and complex character that Nicaragua needed to really round out the story.
Jane isn’t supposed to be this likable hero, nor is she supposed to be a villain, she’s not edited as one archetype. However you value your morals, is how you will see Jane and even if you find her an ass, you have to admit they tell it very well. She’s also objectively entertaining, her rivalry with Marty, her being badass during challenges, cooking fish in the woods, her boot episode meltdown, and so much more are just so iconic to me and make this season what it is.
This write up obviously won’t sway everybody, but I hope that if you rewatch Nicaragua, take a closer look at Jane and her actions and see how it lines up with somebody like Rupert or Coach who are much more prevalent when it comes to these “entitled, broken, facade” archetypes. You will see a brilliant story of grief, hatred, entitlement, and a fake persona that the show knows she is trying to present.
Personally, Jane will always be one of my favorite characters of all time with amazing scenes and a story almost as complex as Ian’s. She didn’t win this rankdown, but she won my heart and has definitely earned herself a #1 spot on my rankings for this endgame.

Hello friends, I’m in a bit of a conundrum and I’m quite desperate, so basically I had recently bought a $100 Amazon gift card with the intention of getting Mw3 Cod point gift cards so I could get the Lilith and Inarius operator bundles in mw3 and also get my younger brother a 2400 Cod Point gift card so he can buy whatever bundle he likes, but when I try to check out with my Amazon balance, they say that I can’t buy gift cards because my Amazon Balance comes from an Amazon gift card, but I can buy anything else from Amazon, but I don’t want anything else right now and I’m extremely desperate and I told my younger brother and he had the idea of asking people on Reddit if they would be willing to trade the account for money so I’m doing that now. all of the $100 are still on the account completely untouched, on a brand new amazon account I made last night just for this gift card, but after I redeemed the gift card on the account last night I found out that you can’t buy gift cards if your balance comes from an Amazon gift card. if you DM me I could give you guys the password to the email attached to the Amazon account, and the username & password to the actual amazon account so you can lockdown the account and put it in your own email if you want, you can also change the password to the email so that way you can completely own it and you don’t have to worry about me trying to do something foul and you could pay me back with just $90 so I can get my CP cards and you can have an Amazon account with a $100 balance, and I’m down to give you my full name and FaceTime you so that you know what I look like, and so if I were to screw you over I’d have to face you. I try my best to be a good and honest person and so if someone were to take a chance on me I would 100% deliver and seriously appreciate it although there’s no way you could 100% know cause I’m just a random dude on the internet but I would hate to get scammed and so if we could figure out a way to make the trade to where both people are safe from getting scammed I’m completely down, I’m pretty desperate
honestly, I’d love to FaceTime you afterwards to thank you face-to-face Annnnnd if you’re down we could squad up and throw down in Warzone :) I’m not crazy good but I can handle myself
TLDR: Bought $100 Amazon gift card to buy Cod Points and just found out that Amazon won’t let me buy them because the balance came from a gift card so now I’m looking to see if anyone will buy my $100 Amazon account for $100-90

This was my first marathon. I've run two half marathons in the past and decided to take the plunge. I went with Pfitzinger 12 week up to 55mpw plan. I had to modify the schedule a bit, but never fell short of the weekly required mileage. I actually averaged 5-10 miles more per week than the plan called for whether that was the right or wrong decision I don't know, but I felt recovered from each week. The plan called for two 20 mile runs, but I opted for an additional 21 mile run instead of the 17. I did the midweek long runs too, but there were some tempo runs that I would consider on the long side that I ended up breaking into two separate workouts for a total of running six times a week. This was mostly because I have kids and couldn't get the time to do more than 2 long runs per week.

The race was an hour away and I've had some bad experiences from day of packet pickups so I opted to pick up the day before which allowed me to "sleep in" on race day. I actually slept really well the night before, I don't know how, but it worked out. I ate an english muffin with peanut butter and a coffee. Drank 12oz Gatorade on way to the race.

Fueling: I trained with SiS isotonic gel. Brought 8 gels for the marathon, but only used 6 (3caff/3reg). I took the gels at 30 minute intervals, I know some have mentioned every 20 minutes, but that would have messed me up. After six I felt a bit queazy so opted to skip the last gel. They had GU Brew at the hydration stations, but I've never tried it so went with water the whole way. Also used salt stick tabs. Gear: Saucony Pro 3, Injinji toe socks (my favorite purchase and godsend after many blisters), Rabbit Speedsters, Flip Belt. Race: This was an out and back marathon. Miles 1-14: I would consider this a smaller race with only 800 participants, 180 in the marathon. Race went out in waves with the marathon first. They grouped us in target times and the gun went off. Immediately the whole front of the pack were out with the lone guy targeting a sub 2:20 time. After about a minute I looked at my watch and dialed it way back. My plan going into this race was to bank early milage below marathon pace and gut out the finish so I settled on a 7:30ish pace early on. I found a guy in the local runners club and ended up chatting with him for the first 4 miles or so to avoid getting caught up going to fast again. In the taper week leading up to the marathon I did something to the tendon on the front of my ankle and rested it the best I could, but knew it would flair up on race day and it did at mile 6. I pushed through and it ended up subsiding or I just forgot about it by the half marathon point. Miles 14-17: This was billed to me as a flat course, but that was not the case. There was a 2.5 to 3 mile continuous up hill climb. With it being an out and back I knew this was coming and planned to dial back my splits to conserve energy, ended up running those 3 miles at 7:50 which was still below my target marathon pace. 17-26: after the long hill I settled in to a slower pace going over 8:00 for the first time in the race, I did my best to keep it close to marathon pace for as long as I could, but the wheels started to come off at mile 24 in which I ran a 9:09! This was the hardest mile I have ever run in my life. I trained without music, but brought headphones as a motivational boost for the tail end of the race, but of course they crapped out and I was left with my thoughts. As I passed fellow marathoners walking down the stretch I wasn't sure I could do this and questioned my choices, but was able to finish out the race in the end.

This was the best part of the race. It was awesome to have family cheering for me at the finish line and a moment I will cherish for all time. I don't normally drink, but the race purchase came with a free tech shirt and beer so I said what the heck. Definitely the best beer I ever had! I already know that I want to try this marathon thing again in the future. Definitely made some mistakes I can improve upon and want to pick a more destination type marathon, but overall I am over the moon with my results. A huge thank you to this community for the amazing tips and tricks you have shared with me. Thanks for reading.

I want to hear your stories of stepping forward as a doctor out in the real world before you actually feel like a doctor!
So here is my story of how the first time in my life that I said “I am a doctor” was to a flight attendant who asked me to go back to my seat because they need a doctor. 😂
As a freshly-minted doctor, only two weeks after graduating, and traveling via airplane, of course I had the thought ”wait. I’m a doctor now, what if they ask for a doctor on this flight? Can I really even call myself a doctor?”
Anyway, so I graduated medical school 2 weeks ago and am traveling before starting residency. I’m on a late night flight when suddenly the lights pop on and overhead they say there’s a medical emergency and ask any medical personal come forth. In my head I’m like “no way, I actually mentally prepared for this event” so I did my mental 30 second wait and watch for an “adult doctor” to come forth. I saw two people come forth to my relief, but then overhead they asked for an MD or DO to come forward. So I reluctantly stand up and walk forward to assess the situation. Turns out it’s just me and two nurses on the flight.
I stand by and observe a confused and slightly agitated lady trying to get out of her seat being held down by the flight attendant and nurse. Right on cue someone in the back say she needs water and the nurse and flight attendant frantically get her a bottle of water and proceed to accidentally pour it on her face and right down her chest 😂
Still a little skeptical that I am the only doctor onboard, i have to ask 3 or 4 times what happened before the flight attendant finally said she had a seizure.
At this moment the lead flight attendant embraces my imposter syndrome and asks me to sit down because they need a doctor. So for the first time in my life, I say that “I am a doctor… graduated 2 weeks ago”
Feeling a little relieved that this was the best case scenario as far as “emergencies” go, I speak up a little more confidently asking her name and where she is right now. She says her name and that she is on a plane. So I know she is mostly over the post-ictal period. I ask her if she takes any medications to stop seizures which she says she does. So I have her take another dose of her anti-seizure medication then go back to my seat for the rest of the flight.
Best part was at baggage claim the cool skater dude that up in first class fist bumps me and says “good job back there doc!”
TL;DR 2 weeks after graduation, had to call myself a doctor for the first time on an airplane after being told to sit down because there’s a medical emergency. Told a lady to take her antiepileptic med, and got a first bump from skater dude.

So my sleep schedule has been down horrendous, going to bed early doesn't help, so tonights mission is pulling an all nighter in hopes to get it sorted
A little about me.. Heavy thinking but quite introverted. Commit to one friendship, can't entertain many. Really open and easy to talk about literally anything. Would like to meet some cool new people, girls preferred to try and help myself to talk to you guys more (girls scary af).
Down to talk about anything to anyone, open to share pictures of ourselves too. DM me

I have been gone from reddit and this subreddit for a while now, i know i left you all in these troubled times without any warning or explanation for my dissertation but now i am back and i will explain why i disappeared. I have been busy with important matter outside of reddit, i know you all miss me, i hear your screams for my return. I am back now, u can rest easy. Spread the word u/SuperCoolWarriorMod also know by names like “u/SCWMod” “Our Saviour” or “The Choosen One” is back
I dearly apologize for my disappearance but no fear i am back.

Hi, my name is paulo andré, im from brazil and i 11 years old. (warning: Maybe there are some writing errors because I don't know how to speak English fluently, sorry.)
anyway, some months ago, i dreamed that i meet a guy in school, and he was from russia for some reason. He walked with me to my house, in the meantime we talked, we talked about our lives, about random things, things like that, and there it was like a friendship, I felt as if we had known each other for a long time. And when you stop to think about it today, it gives you a very strange feeling. and after all that we arrived at my house, we said goodbye, and the dream ended.
and today, i dreamed something like this again
I dreamed that I was at another friend of mine's house, this time he wasn't from another country, he was just from Brazil. Anyway, at his house we did a lot of things, we talked, we talked about our lives, we played games,anyway children's things, and again, I felt like I'd known that guy for a long time, even though I'd never seen his face. After playing for a while, I had to leave for a reason I don't remember. I just remember that we said goodbye, he said: "bye bro! can you come to my house again on friday?" and I replied: "sure bro! see ya!"
idk what that means, if these dreams have any kind of meaning, but they were certainly very strange. If someone could tell me what these dreams were, what they mean, I would be very happy. I'm going to post this here and on another reddit so I can get as many responses as possible. good bye.

As I'm happily awaiting my purchase of the RG35XXSP, I am curious if any compatible Linux apps have been developed that allow for watching live video streams? Since the SP is unique with its clamshell display (making it also serve as a stand for the screen on a flat surface), it will be pretty cool to use it as a little TV with less distractions than a conventional smartphone!
Fun Fact: The PS Vita has an amazing IPTV (and YouTube) player called NetStream.

Hey guys i was the weirdo in this post (https://www.reddit.com/PhoenixTheBand/s/fAqR86TaEb) who brought the rainbow phoenix undies to the Vegas show. I brought them to JLH fest the next day and showed them during lasso and Thomas laughed at me then during trying to be cool he looked at me with the binoculars for like 10 seconds while i jumped up and down but my friend didn’t get the video. If anyone has it or saw it on instagram and could direct me to it please let me know !! Merci and viva Phoenix 🌈

Hi, my name is paulo andré, im from brazil and i 11 years old. (warning: Maybe there are some writing errors because I don't know how to speak English fluently, sorry.)
anyway, some months ago, i dreamed that i meet a guy in school, and he was from russia for some reason. He walked with me to my house, in the meantime we talked, we talked about our lives, about random things, things like that, and there it was like a friendship, I felt as if we had known each other for a long time. And when you stop to think about it today, it gives you a very strange feeling. and after all that we arrived at my house, we said goodbye, and the dream ended.
and today, i dreamed something like this again
I dreamed that I was at another friend of mine's house, this time he wasn't from another country, he was just from Brazil. Anyway, at his house we did a lot of things, we talked, we talked about our lives, we played games,anyway children's things, and again, I felt like I'd known that guy for a long time, even though I'd never seen his face. After playing for a while, I had to leave for a reason I don't remember. I just remember that we said goodbye, he said: "bye bro! can you come to my house again on friday?" and I replied: "sure bro! see ya!"

GUYS PLS- having a friend who’s into fitness and health would be so helpful. And maybe we can motivate each, we don’t even have to be friends per say(although that would be nice). Just hold eachother accountable, push each other to be better, and give advice.😤 because lately ya girl has been struggling with all that.
And even if u have never done fitness/health stuff before but want to start. We can do it together:3 and maybe if i find a few cool ppl who wanna participate we can all be in a group chat or something.
I want to do this because, I used to be really good abt what food I ate and working out daily. But last year i started working as a cook and now have unlimited access to all the yummy unhealthy food I want. And end up snacking through out the shift and bringing home unhealthy fried food for dinner(cuz it’s free). And I just feel bad about myself all the time, and guilty that I’m not at my full potential anymore.
And because I’m in school + working I’m always way too tired to wanna go gym. But I’m planning to change all that tomorrow, getting my sleep schedule back, going gym daily, and eating healthy again^-.

Okay bear with me, this is not a Sweet Home Alabama situation. The reality is tragic.
8 years ago, I booked a double bed hotel room for my brother and I while we were traveling to a medical appointment for his traumatic brain injury in Boston. He didn't want his girlfriend to come at the time. He needed someone to go with him because he obviously wasn't able to drive due to complications.
As a result of his injury he suffers from a condition called sexsomnia, something I didn't know about, and neither did he until his then girlfriend, now wife told him about it and they visited doctors over it. His wife told me about it a year later, and I have a good relationship with her.
Well, that night, the hotel sold out the room we were supposed to get, and they only gave us a single bed. My brother slept in the floor and let me have the bed. I felt bad, woke him up and told him he can stay on the bed and I'll take the floor, but I quicky fell asleep because I was so tired from the long drive.
I sleep with the light dimmed and woke up a few hours later to him on top of me and inside of me, calling me by his then girlfriend, now wife's name, and telling me how much he loves me and wants to marry me and start a family with me. He thought I was her, and he was clearly not awake nor functional and was completely out of it, and just seemed to be having sleep sex with me while kissing me and calling me by her name.
I wasn't sure what to do. I couldn't think straight and just stared at him in shock. I didn't tell him to stop, or try to push him away. The thought didn't even cross my mind because I was barely awake and couldn't understand what was happening. I actually thought I was dreaming, but the next morning I asked him what happened last night. He didn't understand what I meant, and I was too embarrassed to talk about it so I just told him he was talking in his sleep and I couldn't make much sense of it.
A month later I found out I was pregnant and cried my eyes out for the longest time. I didn't tell anyone, but I strongly considered having an abortion for months but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I was terrified the entire pregnancy and was constantly worried about something happening to the baby, to me, or people finding out the truth. I decided to put the child up for adoption, but as soon as he was born I couldn't go through with it. I needed him. My son has been healthy, although he has ADHD and is a little wild.
Fast forward several years later, my brother has made considerable progress in recovering from his TBI but he still has some difficulties. He has 3 children with his wife and a good family life. I've wanted to tell him the truth, but my therapist thinks this isn't a good idea. I've told our mother who freaked out on me and called me every name in the book and told me I'd be ruining his life if I told him, and demanded that I never ever tell him. She made me promise not to tell.
My brother asked me while our son was young who the father is, and I just told him it was a one night stand and the guy doesn't want anything to do with his son. This upset him, but he's been a wonderful "uncle," always helping with bills, clothes, food, living expenses, and our son is best friends with his "cousins." He's basically a father figure to our son, but he doesn't know he's our son.
I am so distraught and I really want to tell him the truth. I'm really tired of keeping this secret. Would I be the asshole if I told him?

Hello friends, I’m in a bit of a conundrum and I’m quite desperate, so basically I had recently bought a $100 Amazon gift card with the intention of getting Mw3 Cod point gift cards so I could get the Lilith and Inarius operator bundles in mw3 and also get my younger brother a 2400 Cod Point gift card so he can buy whatever bundle he likes, but when I try to check out with my Amazon balance, they say that I can’t buy gift cards because my Amazon Balance comes from an Amazon gift card, but I can buy anything else from Amazon, but I don’t want anything else right now and I’m extremely desperate and I told my younger brother and he had the idea of asking people on Reddit if they would be willing to trade the account for money so I’m doing that now. all of the $100 are still on the account completely untouched, on a brand new amazon account I made last night just for this gift card, but after I redeemed the gift card on the account last night I found out that you can’t buy gift cards if your balance comes from an Amazon gift card. if you DM me I could give you guys the password to the email attached to the Amazon account, and the username & password to the actual amazon account so you can lockdown the account and put it in your own email if you want, you can also change the password to the email so that way you can completely own it and you don’t have to worry about me trying to do something foul and you could pay me back with just $90 so I can get my CP cards and you can have an Amazon account with a $100 balance, and I’m down to give you my full name and FaceTime you so that you know what I look like, and so if I were to screw you over I’d have to face you. I try my best to be a good and honest person and so if someone were to take a chance on me I would 100% deliver and seriously appreciate it although there’s no way you could 100% know cause I’m just a random dude on the internet but I would hate to get scammed and so if we could figure out a way to make the trade to where both people are safe from getting scammed I’m completely down, I’m pretty desperate
honestly, I’d love to FaceTime you afterwards to thank you face-to-face Annnnnd if you’re down we could squad up and throw down in Warzone :) I’m not crazy good but I can handle myself
TLDR: Bought $100 Amazon gift card to buy Cod Points and just found out that Amazon won’t let me buy them because the balance came from a gift card so now I’m looking to see if anyone will buy my $100 Amazon account for $100-90
