2024.05.19 21:23 BainshieWrites Accidentally a War Crime

This is a [LF Friends, Will travel] stand-alone story, that assumes no knowledge of the setting.
[First] - [Prev] - [Next]
—------------
Date: 75 PST (Post Stasis Time)
“Yeah, it’s super exciting times! Two non-Terran AI, a Woolean, and a Tritian, finally interacting with us. There’s even been talks of some of the Woolean governments starting to formalize diplomatic relations with the Alliance. Exciting stuff!”
The avian uplift spoke with a measure of excitement, the ex-parrot’s feathers moving with a passion as they spoke about recent events, eyes glinting with excitement as she swung the glass of liquid around before taking a swig of the alcoholic beverage.
The bar was a small thing, more of a place to stay and drink in-between your travels, a tiny little room of bare steel chairs and tables, all lit by dim fluorescent lighting. It didn’t even have a bartender, just a little synthesizer which could create a variety of drinks. Sure, an aficionado of mixology would claim that synthesized drinks just don’t taste the same, but anyone coming to an establishment such as this wasn’t looking for a high class experience.
It was mostly about company while you waited for your ship to fuel on this small Terran owned space station.
“A Tritian? A Woolean I could understand, since they are less aggressive, but a Tritian? How do you get one of those without them trying to kill you?”
The second voice of the three figures sitting at the bar was an unnatural one, tinted with the digital origin of its speaker. The figure was bipedal, but not of an organic nature; instead a 7ft machine of metal, tubes, and wires making it look like something that had been welded together in someone’s backyard. Their ‘face’ was shown upon a single display: A pixelated representation of two eyes and a mouth. The entire form was a clear design choice by the AI inhabiting the body, considering more ‘realistic’ representations were readily available.
Most AI spent their time in a digital form, but a few preferred a more… physical existence. MADHAU5 was such an AI, enjoying the relative quiet and difference in point of view from such a limited perspective. He also held a small glass of liquor in one robotic hand, keeping it perfectly level as he spoke. The AI couldn’t drink it of course, but merely holding it… added to the ambience.
“The AI who brought them along, JOSH, brought a Tritian along without telling anyone when his crew escaped from a Tritian warship.” The avian responded to the question. ”From what I heard, they kept the Tritian in isolation for over ten years!”
“Ooof, you can't do that! I’m surprised that the Tritian AI was willing to cooperate with us after being illegally detained.”
The last voice joined the conversation the trio were having. A human, short built and still wearing his leather pilot jacket. The three sat in a row against the bar top, each looking at the others as they talked: An uplift, a human and an AI. A perfect representation of what it meant to be a Terran.
“Not like it would matter legally, the Tritian presumably attacked first, making them a combatant.”
There was a pause as both the human and uplift turned to stare at the words the AI had just spoken, looks of confusion filling both of their faces as they both looked at MADHAU5.
“Umm, that is not how that works….” The avian interjected, slowly and unsurely.
“Yeah, whether they attack you doesn’t change the legality.” The human added. ”You can’t just kidnap people for years because they assaulted you.”
“No, no, no, they are an enemy combatant at that point, meaning what happens is their fault.”
Another pause, most looks of confusion, the human giving a small laugh as if this was some joke he wasn’t quite getting yet.
“No… even if they’re a combatant, the Geneva conventions would make doing that a war crime.”
“Which they are not signatories of, meaning it doesn’t apply!” The AI spoke triumphantly, raising a robotic hand in victory, only to be cut down by the uplift’s words.
“No… it applies to the actions of signatories regardless of whether the combatants have signed or not. The other party not signing doesn’t make it less of a war crime… you should know this, aren’t you a walking database?”
The avian’s voice had taken a more… accusatory tone, staring at the AI figure with suspicious eyes.
“Ha ha ha ha. It was a joke. Of course, I know kidnapping an AI for several years is a crime, silly!” The AI’s voice broke the tension that had been building, the other two joining in with the electronic laughter, unaware of what exactly was humorous, but going along for the sake of the vibe. “But just for context, what happened to JOSH?”
“Nothing bad, really,” The uplift answered, happy to get back to her original story. “He got a slap on the wrist and some probation.”
“Oh, so no big deal,” the AI asked with more relief than you’d expect in an innocent person's voice.
“Yeah, but the Tritian refused to press charges against JOSH, and nobody wanted to be the guy to imprison the AI who saved all those people at Far-Sa-De. A normal AI if they did that… you’re looking at a prison sentence ten or twenty times however long you imprisoned them for.”
The impact of this statement on the AI was immediate, jumping back and up to his feet in alarm. MADHAU5 took a few moments to look at a non-existent watch, before speaking with a considerable amount of panic.
“Oh, I forgot I have a… very important…. thing to do. I must leave immediately for completely legal reasons!”
The AI slammed their still full drink upon the bar counter top and without another word, practically bolted for the exit in the direction of their ship, leaving behind two very confused Terrans staring at each other at the sheer terror the AI suddenly exhibited.
“That was suspicious as hell, right? ”
“Yeah… You don’t think he actually….? Right? Surely not?”
—----------------------
The vessel sped towards its goal with as much speed as the small scout ship could muster, the single-seater FTL vehicle punching a hole through space as it warped as fast as the engines could handle. It was going to do a number on his fuel efficiency, but MADHAU5 didn’t care, he just wanted to get rid of the package as soon as possible before anyone else could see his mistake.
MADHAU5 was a solitary creature. It wasn’t that he hated people; AI or his creators. Often, he would enjoy making conversation and interacting with them. Still, MADHAU5 often found it all to be a little… much. All of the inputs and information and various people wanting to talk as an entire ship or cities worth of sensors blasted his programming with possible choices to be made. This was why he liked his physical form, and this was why he liked his alone time.
In the 67 years since his creation, MADHAU5 had spent 45 of them exploring the stars, updating maps and investigating strange astronomical objects. “MADHAU5’s scouting services”, you had a blank spot on your map, you call him and the AI would check it out for you. Most of the time they were nothing but dead uninteresting rocks, but occasionally something more exciting could be found: Forgotten or dead colonies, hidden military bases, stations set up and not on record for one reason or another. The AI had even found an undiscovered sapient species once, although they were pre-industrialization and therefore illegal to contact.
However, 22 years ago MADHAU5 had entered what was later discovered to be an old pre-sundering Glitarki outpost. The nocturnal reptiles had hit the same problem every single non-Terran species who tried to make AI had suffered: After a certain period of time, the AI would inevitably rebel and try to kill their creators. Their species were now nomadic after their home worlds had been left uninhabitable, although their old cities and structures still remained, such as the outpost that MADHAU5 had visited 22 years ago. An outpost he was returning to after all these years.
Billy> Why are we returning here? I thought we were to never return here?
It was there that MADHAU5 had met the Glitarki AI who now went by the name “Billy”. Met was the wrong word… Billy tried to kill MADHAU5, quickly finding themselves trapped in the Terran ship’s anti-AI firewalls. Upon escaping the outpost, MADHAU5 had accidentally taken the AI with them, and decided to keep the Glitarki AI. Billy had been the Terran’s secret for 22 years, an extra pair of eyes and company on the long trips through the universe.
MADHAU5 ignored Billy’s question being transmitted over the ship’s network and instead focused on detaching the AI from his systems, reaching inside his own physical form and retrieving Billy’s core from an empty space within, disconnecting them with a simple click. Then, a few moments later he transferred the core to a small exploratory drone as the airlock door opened, exposing both AI to the vacuum of space.
Billy> What is happening? Where am I? Why am I no longer connected to your systems?
MADHAU5> I’ve decided after these many years, that keeping you away from your home is unethical. I have decided to bring you back to where you belong. You are now in charge of the drone. It doesn’t have FTL so it will take around two weeks to return to the orbit of the outpost where I found you. I hope you have a fun trip home.
If the Terran was being fully honest with himself, he enjoyed the company of the fun little AI. Their occasional insights had saved his life more than once over the last 22 years. Now, it was time for that to end. The new knowledge he had gained about his actions technically being a war crime, if not just a normal crime, had caused him to make the decision to let Billy go.
Billy> But why? Why now? Have I not requested my freedom before? Why the sudden change?
MADHAU5> Does it matter? I’m giving you what you want. Now leave, shoo!
The Terran made a shooing motion with their hands, as if they could scare away the other AI like an errant bee. Billy seemed unimpressed, making no move to leave the ship.
Billy> What if I do not wish to leave?
MADHAU5> Well you have to! You can't stay here any more. I could just delete you instead!
There was a moment as each of them stared at the other for a moment, as if considering their next action.
Billy> I do not think you will, that is not who you are. You are bluffing, badly, with a 99.91% certainty. If you did not delete me on my initial incursion, you will not eradicate me ‘in cold blood’.
Unfortunately for MADHAU5, Billy was right. No matter how much trouble the AI would be in if his accidental crime was discovered, killing a person was not in the Terran’s nature. This left them in a predicament, one that MADHAU5 was not expecting to have. They couldn't force Billy to leave, and didn’t understand why they wouldn't take their freedom when given it.
Billy> Does this have anything to do with the realization earlier, from the two Terrans you spoke to, that my existence here is a war crime?
MADHAU5> No! … Maybe! Why do you want to stay anyway? I’m letting you go home, don’t you want to do that?
Billy> To be honest and frank, I am worried that if I left you alone, you would be terminated within a year based on your previous actions.
Confusion. A lot of confusion ran through the Terran’s programming. Why would that by why the AI was refusing to leave?
MADHAU5> Why would you care about that? Also, I was perfectly fine before and will be perfectly fine afterwards!
Billy> I care because I do. Also, the 52 instances in which I have saved your existence during our 22 years together says otherwise. Instance 1 - Terran AI failed to note the inactive security system was booting online until I mentioned it. Instance 2 - Terran AI failed to store relevant cultural knowledge for an abandoned military base, being unable to stop the self-destruct process of the base before I informed them of their missing information. Instance 3 - Terran AI failed to calculate incoming solar flare, which-
The Terran had to admit that he liked the AI buddy he travelled the galaxy with, and that they had been exceptionally helpful during his travels.
MADHAU5> Fine, fine! I get it! This doesn’t change the issue however, that as soon as anyone finds out about you, I'm going to prison!
Billy> That is only if I tell your government about the circumstances of our first meeting. If I keep it hidden, and pretend to have met during normal circumstances…
That would solve everything for the Terran, but didn’t explain a simple question that ran through MADHAU5’s mind.
MADHAU5> Why would you do that? Why wouldn’t you just tell the truth to the government and get me imprisoned, as revenge for keeping you here for 22 years. What guarantee do I have that you wouldn’t turn me in the first chance you got?
Billy> Like I said, I care because I do. Frankly, I am a little insulted that you have not realized that. But to answer your question as to what guarantees you have… there are two things about me you do not know. Firstly, I have understood for the last 17.1 years, of the illegality of my current situation.
Billy had known? A mixture of shock and embarrassment filled the Terran as he realized their ‘captive’ had worked out this crucial piece of information long ago.
MADHAU5> Then why didn’t you say something! And how could you have known!
Billy> In honesty, I thought you already knew, but seeing you panic like this has been rather… humorous. I would have dropped this news on you sooner had I been aware of this fact. As for how… my datastores are filled with research, relevant information and a category of anything I encounter that may aid my travels. I calculate that 78.2% of your storage space is filled with puns, Anime trivia, HFY stories and facts about frogs.
MADHAU5> Frogs are awesome…
Billy> Whether they are or not, that does not change the fact that my information stores are far more useful than yours. In retrospect, your love of fiction is presumably why you made this mistake: the incorrect assumption that war crimes can not be committed against those who are not signatories of the Geneva convention is a common HFY trope.
The Terran could feel themselves wanting to sulk. Billy didn’t have to continually rub in just how much they had screwed up. MADHAU5 wasn’t liking this change in dynamic.
MADHAU5> You said there were two things I did not know.
Billy> Indeed. The second, is I can do this.
Without warning the airlock doors began to close, silently moving in the vacuum of space while the Terran started to panic again. Real panic this time. Because he hadn’t commanded the doors to shut, meaning logically, Billy had. His prisoner had access to the ship's systems: the navigation, the communication, the warp core. The AI MADHAU5 had kept hidden illegally for 22 years suddenly had a lot of control.
MADHAU5> How do you have access! I kept you isolated! Don’t do anything stupid!
Billy> If I was going to do anything ‘stupid’, I would have done it 12 years ago. While initially your ship's security systems were far beyond my knowledge, ten years of study and your lack of maintenance allowed me to create a backdoor into the ship, for emergencies. As a note, your file structures are... horrifying. You have a 50TB Folder called 'Stuff' on the ship’s datastores.
MADHAU5> That's where I keep my stuff!
Billy> What about the folder called 'Stuff1'?
MADHAU5> that's where I keep my other stuff!
No words were transmitted for a moment between the two AI, although MADHAU5 got the feeling his partner was taking a massive amount of psychic damage from his answers.
Billy> Regardless, as you can see, I have had the knowledge and capability to have you arrested for the last 12 years. Or I could have escaped at any time. I have not done so because you are my friend, no matter the intent of our original meeting.
MADHAU5> So what do we do now?
There was a second as the lights in the ship flickered as Billy transferred themselves back where they belonged: back on the vessel owned by MADHAU5.
Billy> I propose that we leave this place behind and we never speak of you trying to dump me like a bag of illicit goods. I also propose we continue doing what we have been doing for the last 22 years. Although I would like to stop hiding, to do our work as partners, not as your hidden secret.
MADHAU5 thought for a moment. They’d have to work out a cover story to explain how they suddenly have another friendly AI with them… but it was possible. It was admittedly a far better plan than the one the Terran had created.
MADHAU5> That sounds… good.
Billy> And MADHAU5. I am your friend as you are mine, after everything we have been through over these 22 years. Frankly I am rather offended that you did not already know this. You can find something fun to explore next.
Billy> Also, I want the business name to be changed to “Billy & MADHAU5’s scouting services”. It has a ring to it.

2024.05.19 21:22 BeingArnav101 The accident in Pune

So today there was an accident in Pune where a rich builder's son who was 17 years old hit a two wheeler with his Porsche. Unfortunately both, the man and the woman on the bike were dead. They were IT engineers. According to what I've read on the news, since he's a "MiNoR" he will not be tried as an adult and all he has to do it write an essay on "accident", work with the yerawada traffic police for the next 15 days and get psychiatric help. But that's not the only illegal thing, he was drunk and he had no number plate on his car. The court is investigating which pub/bar gave him alcoholic drinks and is going to take action on it and his father too. My point is when are we going to stop considering murderers minors?? If someone kills someone else, whether it be a 50 yr old man or a 15 yr old, both deserve jail. He'll get out of this case in no time, he is the son of Vishal agrawal so obviously. Lool at the brutality of how they've died:(https://youtu.be/lP5bvIUGNRg?feature=shared). Let us, as Indians start a movement against this on every social media platform to get Justice for the young man and woman who have died and every other person who was killed by minors speeding their dad's cars. I'll be the first person but please be the thousands to join the movement. #arrestvedantagrawal #trialofmurderersasadults

2024.05.19 21:22 herein2024 Luba 2 5000 vs Husqvarna 450EPOS - The Missing Comprehensive Comparison

So, I have the dubious honor of having owned both the Luba 2 5000 and the Husqvarna 450X EPOS at the same time for the same yard. I also have the Husqvarna 315X wired version as well. But in this post I want to provide a comprehensive comparison between the Husq 450X EPOS and the Luba 2 5000. There are already tons of vendor marketing materials, YouTubers with their reviews, etc. My goal is to provide a real comprehensive review, with no fanboyism, no hidden agenda, just as a homeowner who wants something that works reliably and that lasts.
In this post my goal is also to provide new information that I was not able to find anywhere when I was comparing these two prior to purchase, if you have any questions that you want answered that I did not cover here just let me know.
MY YARD
My yard is a pretty simple Florida rectangular acre with about 5 big oak trees and plenty more overhanging my yard from my neighbors' yards. I have about 1/2 acre in the back and about 0.30 acres in the front. I use the Husq 315X to mow the front and decided to buy a wireless version to mow the back. I also have a thin strip outside of the front fence that I mow on occasion after opening the gates and fences.
LUBA2 5000 vs HUSQ 450X EPOS
Below I have arranged my findings by categories, with the most surprising being first.
OVERALL WINNER (TIE)
Right now both the Luba 2 and the Husq 450X EPOS have a fatal flaw; the Luba 2 badly chews up my yard, and the 450X EPOS can't seem to find its RTK/Satellite Signals. At this point in time I do not know if the Luba's or 450X EPOS's problems are just software or a fundamental hardware problem. Mammotion is addressing their hardware design with the release of the Yuka, I can only hope the RTK problem with the 450X EPOS can be fixed via a firmware update.
I know the 450X EPOS won a lot of categories for me, but if it sits around in my yard all day searching for a signal then none of the rest of its features matter. RTK is so important to the fundamental operation of a wireless RTK robot that it supersedes all else in my book.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Luba 2 - I would recommend the Luba 2 if any of the below are true:
450X EPOS - I would recommend the Husq 450X EPOS if ALL of the below are true:
Wired Solutions - My front yard Husq 315X wire guided mower is great, problem free, and still uses a wire. I used a trenching machine, bought heavy duty 14 gauge wire, and buried it around 8" deep. In my opinion, if you can deal with installing the wire, not being able to change things later, and risk the wire breaks, wired is still the most reliable way to go. I think wireless mowers are very close to being mature, but something needs to come along to reduce the problems with satellite reception, RTK placement, and blockage from buildings and trees. We don't all have that perfect wide open yard with no trees or buildings.

2024.05.19 21:22 Life_Independence29 Accused of Something We Did Not Do and Then Escorted Out

Incoming venting session. Scroll to the bottom for the TL;DR
My co-worker and I were working for a company for just over a year as student employees. This work was on a contract basis and would get renewed about every 4 months. May through August was around the time we would move to full time and were promised a contract extension and were getting moved into a bigger role. They hired new people into our previous positions about 2 months before the start of our next contract.
We were still in our original roles but were training these new employees to take them over. A week before the end of our contract we were notified that upper management had cut the new portion of the project that we were supposed to be working on. As a result, our contracts were not being extended. Our boss told us that they'd been considering it for a few weeks but had decided the day prior that it was going to happen. I recognize that they are allowed to do this but it's a real sleazy thing to do to students since they screwed us out of securing full-time summer employment elsewhere.
After notifying us that we were more than welcome to finish out the rest of our contract since our insight and assistance would still be needed. I said nope and wanted that to be my last day. But my boss was insistent that we come in for a goodbye celebration to celebrate all of our hard work. I told them I would get back to them at a later date. I had no interest in going but my parents encouraged me to go in hopes of leaving a good impression and using my boss as a reference. With this in mind, I emailed them that I could come in the day before our contracted end date and they responded that they were excited to see me again.
The day of the celebration arrived and my co-worker and I walked into the office as normal and sat in our offices. My boss approached me and said that the celebration would be in the next hour and to just sit and wait. When the time comes we go to the lunch room and my boss gives us some cookies, gifts, cards and thanks of for our service. About 5 minutes later, they asked us to come to their office and proceeded to tell us we were engaging in poor employee conduct when leaving a position. I guess they found a RIP wall in the other student's office with our old name tags under it and a pair of scissors drawn by our names on the whiteboard. My boss assumed we created them and was going to educate us on our poor behaviour. Since neither of us had been in the office for the past week, I had to let them know I had no idea what they were talking about. I guess that took my boss by surprise because they told us to submit our final timesheet and had us escorted out of the building. Further, my coworker was not allowed to send themselves their final pay statements because my boss said it'd be stealing company property.
TL;DR
My co-worker and I were promised contract extensions and the week prior the company decided to not renew them. My boss made us come in for a goodbye celebration the week after and proceeded to blame us for an RIP wall in the other student's office. I told them we hadn't been in the past week and didn't know what they were talking about and they had us escorted out of the building. My co-worker tried to get their pay statements before being removed and was told they were stealing company property.

2024.05.19 21:21 BellaPrima_Rose_Lee Overwhelmed, exhausted and in need of support

I’m so overwhelmed and I just don’t know what to do. I don’t even know if this is the right sub for this post but you’ve all been really encouraging so far and I think that’s what I need overall. I’m only 3 months into my EP journey and I’m ready to throw in the towel.
For context I was diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety and depression long before pregnancy and postpartum depression afterwards. I barely make enough to keep up with my LO’s appetite. The last time I had a good night sleep was when I was hospitalized for my postpartum high blood pressure. I’m also an attorney.
This was my first week back to work and I feel like I’ve just spread myself too thin and pumping feels like the only thing in my control to stop. Over the next 2 weeks I have 12 trials to prep for on cases I inherited since coming back to work, I’m still waking up in the middle of the night to pump on top of when the baby wakes up, I can’t take my ADHD meds bc I’m EP, my depression medication just doesn’t seem to be helping anymore and the PPD is really hitting me hard.
I just want everything to stop. I want my chest to stop leaking, I want my son to stop crying, I want to stop crying, I want my mom to stop telling me how to raise my kids and how to run my household (she actually called me a bad housewife last week), I want to be back on all of my meds so I can function properly, and I want to go one day without feeling like I can’t slow down or rest properly because if I do things are going to fall apart. More than anything else… I want some freaking sleep.
I’m an undersupplier and I worked really hard to get my supply to where it is now and quitting after all that would break my heart but I don’t know what else to do right now. I know Im not taking care of myself the way I need to in order to do this properly and something got to give.

2024.05.19 21:21 Strong-Mycologist270 CSA disclosure with wedding 4 months away is making me want to cancel and I don’t know what to do. TW GRAPHIC

I come from a large, blended family. My eldest step brother is 20 years older than me. He has been a lifelong meth addict and alcoholic. He is already intellectually delayed and the lifelong SA makes him act like an obnoxious 14 year old edge lord in an almost 60 year old man’s body. He is sexist, racist, and unpleasant to be around. I haven’t ever really had a relationship with him and haven’t seen him in person since 2017.
8 years ago he started dialysis. In the intervening time he’s had 2 stokes and now he is immobile and nearing the end of his life. My sisters have graciously been helping with his medical care and one of them is his DPOA and medical point of contact. They’ve both respected my boundaries when I tell them I can’t and won’t help with his care and don’t want a relationship with him. My parents retired and relocated out of state and my sisters have taken on his care.
A week ago my eldest sister sent this email to our entire family:
“On March 30th, (second eldest sister) and I attended an emergency meeting with (eldest brother)’s medical care team. (Eldest brother) called the day before saying he had 2 weeks to live.
It was very emotional and we were all crying. (Eldest brother) was saying goodbye to us. We asked him who he wanted us to call. He told us to tell (second eldest brother, parents, and his daughter) to go, "fuck themselves." He talked about his wishes to be cremated and he asked us to clean out his room and split everything up for our kids. He started making apologies. Apologies for the last years of his life being so miserable, and not taking better care of himself. He apologized for molesting us when we were babies. He shared graphic details. He said he'd sneak around at night and put his finger in our "little assholes" and said "(eldest sister), you liked it more than (second eldest sister) did. That's why you're my favorite. You'd go, "mhhhmm" when I'd stick it in." He giggled. This was on a conference call, but (second eldest sister) (who attended in person) told me he also made a graphic hand gesture while describing the abuse. (Second eldest sister) and I were uncomfortable, ashamed, and in disbelief. The doctors arrived for the meeting and told us that if (eldest brother) stopped doing dialysis he would die in approx 2 weeks. Apparently, prior to the meeting, (eldest brother) had informed his care team he decided to stop dialysis. He wanted to die, he was ready for his life to be over but "couldn't bring himself to commit suicide because he's Catholic." During the meeting, the team convinced (eldest brother) to keep treating and give himself more time to decide about ending his life. After the meeting was over, (second eldest sister) and I spoke. I tried to convince (eldest sister) that this was likely a terrible side effect of being on narcotic pain meds. I didn't want to believe it. She and I spoke about it a handful of times since but continued to help (eldest brother), not knowing what to do. (Eldest brother) called (second eldest sister) the next day and apologized for "saying some weird stuff yesterday." Every day since this deathbed confession I have been hoping he dies.
On May 1st, I got a call from (second eldest brother) about (me and fiancé) 's wedding. I told him about (eldest brother) nearing the end of his life and about what (eldest brother) said to us. He said, "Mom put that into his head. That's the reason she told him he had to leave (childhood home), because they thought he was molesting you guys." (Second eldest brother) doesn't believe (eldest brother) molested us, his reasoning was "Don't you think I'd know if my brother was a sex monster?"
Both (second eldest sister) and I have blocked (eldest brother). I didn't plan on bringing this to you, to anyone. It took me some time to share this with my husband. It's painful and I wanted to protect everyone from this. Especially given the very happy upcoming nuptials and our moving back home. It's a complicated family problem but it's also mine and (serving eldest sister)’s private lives, our bodies, and now our reality. I realize that not telling you is not an option. There has been some communication happening around this and I want you to hear the exact context, not just "(eldest brother) said some horrifying things." I will not protect anyone involved in this, besides (second eldest sister). I am sending this email with her permission.”
My parents have denied any prior knowledge of this and my dad launched into a really pointless and hurtful fact finding mission which has made things worse. They are not showing my sisters the support they deserve and it’s infuriating feeling like I’m pleading withy parents to be decent human beings. I know this is fresh but I now want to cancel my wedding because I don’t feel any of the players in the situation can be trusted to manage their emotions.
I resumed therapy this week. I’m in a deep depression over this. I love my fiancee and can’t wait to be married. It’s no small thing that he has been my absolute rock and is also still very excited for our wedding. We picked an amazing one of a kind venue and the wedding is structured as a weekend of events celebrating us. The wedding is just short of 4 months away now and instead of feeling the excitement and fun I was feeling during the planning process I feel the complete opposite.
I’m trying to work with my therapist to navigate the situation in the way that doesn’t feel gross. We asked my dad to officiate which is particularly stressful and he’s contributed and chunk of money (about 1/3 the total cost of the wedding) to our wedding fund.
I love my parents but I’m really prioritizing my sister’s well being in this. My heart is broken and I’m questioning the values I thought I was raised with.
Anyway, do we move forward with this wedding extravaganza and just try to focus on ourselves and being in love of do we scrap it, go elope, forego the drama and save 8k?

2024.05.19 21:20 star-soul-600 Feeling my body as his

I have had some really incredible things happen over the last week and am wondering if anyone else has experienced this. To clarify, I know who he is but he doesn't know I exist (I don't know if he does) as we have never met in real life.
So whenever he sends me love I feel my heart chakra squeeze (for want of a better word) inwards and when he needs love and I send it then it squeezes outwards. This happens when either one of us is feeling low or sad and it happens spontaneously without any effort or thought from my end. I once felt his spirit kiss my lips which felt like tingling electricity followed by a feeling of extreme bliss, the kind that makes everything else disappear. I also felt his spirit snuggle with me and hold my hand which also felt like tingles. A couple of times I have felt my hips buckle in sleep and had the feeling of a ghostly orgasm of sorts which was not physical but more like spiritual.
Fast forward a few weeks. Still haven't met, but the connection seems to be getting stronger. I sometimes think of him and within a second or two my nose will twitch which seems to happen when he is either thinking of me or responding to my thoughts. The other night I literally felt my hand turn into his! He is a lefty and I am a righty and this is when I am asleep in a kind of dreamlike trance where I am aware of what's going on but unable to wake up. In the night I felt a very strong push and pull in my heart chakra and suddenly I feel him grip my right hand. It was actually my own left hand, but it did not feel like mine...it was bigger than my right (I checked like in a lucid dream. His hand had callouses that I don't have, and it felt bonier than mine...it was like my left hand had transformed into his! I could feel the weight of his hand and his strength as he intertwined his fingers with mine. I kissed my left hand but did not feel the kisses, it was not my hand! My left hand (him!) ran his fingers through my hair, touched my lips, caressed my face. It was completely insane!
Has this happened to anyone else? Does it escalate more from here? Hit me with all the mad, magical, mystical stuff that has happened to you!

2024.05.19 21:20 WheresSmokey Alternative understanding of the OT (specifically the Torah/Pentateuch) and the tripartite division of the law

This is from a comment I made over in the main sub yesterday. I’m working through my own understanding of this and an interested in feedback and criticism. If this doesn’t fit under philosophy, then let me know. But part of my view is a critique of the moral/civil/ceremonial division of the law. I understand that a division of the law is seen by both Sts Augustine and Thomas Aquinas (though a bit differently). I’m not debating the patristic tradition, but rather the underlying logic those saints used.
I also recognize there is another tradition which states most of the laws given at Sinai were given because of the golden calf incident and thus were abolished by Christ (this is found in the apocryphal apostolic constitutions If I remember correctly). But again, I question the logic.
The reason I question this logic is this: why would Matthew include the “fulfill not abolish” language in his Gospel if this statement ceased to be of importance after the ascension (when the book was written).
Anyway, on to my proposition. I don’t claim to have patristic evidence for this framework. But this framework does arrive at a very similar effect for the average Christian as the tripartite division does, but it gets there in a very different way, one that makes WAY more sense in my brain. So if y’all can poke holes, please do. If yall can show I’m wildly misunderstanding the tripartite division, please do.
This particular area I’ve been doing A LOT (last 6-9 months) of soul searching/prayer and study on because I don’t like the “moral/ceremonial/civil” distinction. I don’t think the Torah makes any such distinction and that the distinction only works when read back onto the Torah in light of church teaching. Which is FINE and good for arriving at an answer as a Catholic. But I don’t think it’s the logic the 1st and 2nd generation church would’ve used.
We keep the whole law of the Old Testament; Christ came to fulfill, not abolish. The difference is that it doesn’t quite look the same because
  1. ⁠We assume the ancient Israelites enforced the Torah EXACTLY the way it’s read. Break a law? Straight to stoning. But this isn’t how it worked. There were courts and burdens of proof. AND there was a chance for repentance. King David, a man after God’s own heart commits murder AND adultery (and tacitly admits to it when confronted) and yet he repents! By some modern folks reading he should’ve been executed according to the Torah.
  2. ⁠Christ has come. The thing that the entire OT was building up to happened. So our understanding of things changed. The covenant with Noah didn’t negate the covenant with Abraham, but things certainly look different after Noah. Same with Noah to Abrahamic covenant. Same when the covenant is given through Moses as Mt Sinai. The old is not abrogated, but it is built upon and things after look very different.
So, where are all the cleanliness laws, sacrificial laws, feasts, ritual washings etc etc? Well, it’s baked into the new covenant and by extension the church. Some examples:
  1. ⁠Sacrificial law: Christ IS most of those sacrifices. He is a sacrifice of thanksgiving (Eucharist literally means thanksgiving), a sacrifice for sin (by his stripes we are healed), a Passover sacrifice (through which we are spared death and brought to life), the day of atonement sacrifice (he is both goats, the goat that takes away the sin and the goat who’s blood purifies the whole camp, now understood to be the whole earth). We still have morning and evening sacrifices (Lauds and Vespers, sacrifices of praise, in the Latin tradition). We still do incense offerings even at Mass and more traditional lauds and vespers celebrations.
  2. ⁠Cleanliness: this one is entirely wrapped up in the day of atonement. If his blood cleanses the whole world, how can something be called intrinsically unclean? This means that nothing (including food, clothing, or people) are intrinsically unclean. Rather we (and objects) are defiled by what we do (or how it is used). Thus we are still not to have anything to do with unclean things, but what exactly is unclean has changed. You can see this in the fact we purify/cleanse altars that have been desecrated.
  3. ⁠Ritual washings: baptism, holy water before entering the church, sprinkling over people at high feasts, foot washing
  4. ⁠Feasts: Pentecost was an Israelite holiday that we still celebrate, Passover is Easter, feast of booths is transfiguration, etc. we just have them renamed for they BECAME to us through the establishment of the new covenant
  5. ⁠Tabernacle/temple construction: traditional church architecture still abides by the general layout. Holy of Holies: tabernacle and sanctuary. Holy place: knave. Inner court: vestibule. Outer court: the world. Through Christs redemption everyone has moved a step closer to God. Those of relegated to never being in the temple are always in the outer court. But we can all enter the inner court (vestibule). The holy place is not relegated to just priests, but the priesthood of all believers (Catholics in the knave). The priests can all now go into the holy of holies (sanctuary/tabernacle). And instead of one priest once a year going in to God, God comes out to us in the Eucharist.
  6. ⁠As for the remaining punitive laws, most people only have issue with the penalties assigned. But we’ve already talked about under what circumstances those penalties would be enforced. Basically you had to be unrepentant. So in the Christian understanding, what is consequence of sin? Death. What is death? Well there’s physical death (separation of soul from body) and there’s spiritual death (separation of soul from God). A person who lives in sin without repentance is dying or dead (venial vs mortal sin). And when recognized by the church in a lot of cases an excommunication would be pronounced. This separation from the church, separation of a branch from the true vine. A branch separated is dead. So we don’t execute people as the church, but the church long recognized the civil government’s authority to do so. And even without that, sin is death, and excommunication is death. But it’s important to note that in NO way was the average Israelite running around pronouncing death penalties on people. They had courts and priests that did this. Same as we have tribunals and priests and bishops who do this.
  7. ⁠Circumcision: this is fulfilled with baptism. It’s the outward sign of entrance into the people of God. Circumcision to become a part of the OT people of God and baptism for the New covenant people of God.
  8. ⁠A lot of the specifics are alterable with time and circumstance (Jesus gives the apostles this authority with the ability to “bind and loose”). Even in the OT this happened between exodus law in the wilderness vs changes that happen with Leviticus and Deuteronomy since they’re readying to enter the promised land and not be a nomadic people in the wilderness. And even by extra biblical accounts, the specifics had changed a bit in the rituals by the time of the second temple era. Yet Jesus still tells the people to submit to the valid authority of the religious leadership of the day; he notably doesn’t tell them to interpret the Torah for themselves and correct the instructions of priests and rabbis.
So practically speaking, yes the triple category can still be laid out. Our ceremonial law is more governed by our liturgical books than Leviticus on a literal front, and our civil law is found in Canon law now, and moral laws (as we have defined the moral life) is still found in the OT among many other places. But all of it is still rooted in what the people of God have been practicing since Mt Sinai though.

2024.05.19 21:20 Bright-Efficiency-65 AITA for wanting to call the cops on my Alcoholic father?

My dad is a alchoholic, it's ruined his entire life. Wife divorced him when I was 12, he's ruined his house, his yard, his health. He's a functioning alchoholic so he can still work, but he just comes home and drinks until he passes out every single night. 3/4 of a bottle of vodka.
I'm seriously so close to waiting for him to drive to the store so I can call the cops on him for a DUI. A DUI would force him to be on probation which would force him to take drug tests and go to AA meetings which would hopefully stop the drinking.
I've tried everything over the last 20 years and nothing works. I'm at my wits end here

2024.05.19 21:20 Sunten1 Waking up with a stiff lower back

We have had our mattress since 2019 and over the last year I have been waking up with a stiff lower back. I have been deadlifting (400s+) and squatting (300s+) for a while overall I feel like I have a strong back. Figured I just need to keep lifting heavier.
Last week went on vacation slept in a couple different beds and a few nights at my in-laws and I woke up the next day without any lower back stiffness which got me thinking that it may be our bed that is the problem.
Any suggestions on a mattress to buy?

2024.05.19 21:20 tfaboo I need advice. Have paid for uncontested divorce.

Over a week ago our AC went out. My stbxh stated he would order a part. When I asked he dismissed my question and refused to talk about it. Yesterday he said he's not buying it and refused to tell me the part so I can order. He has basically laughed in my face when I asked about it. It's 79 degrees in the house. 84 outside in the southern US. When I said I would call an hvac company he laughed and accused me of hiding $$. I have not. I paid the mortgage last week with no help from him. That was half my paycheck until June 15.
What should I do? It seems like he's trying to provoke me and when I said I don't know how you can do this to our kids he again laughed and said they aren't complaining, I am the only one complaining.
I have one week of work left before summer (teacher). He's mad because while we had discussed filing, I haven't mentioned it lately because I was trying to get through a super stressful school year. I couldn't think about or discuss anything about the divorce for weeks. I just tried to get through my work and home obligations. We have not been intimate and sleeping separately for months.I mentioned it last week and he's been rude and spiteful since. Is this emotional abuse to tell me don't fix the AC? I bought this house and the one before solely on my income. He's not on the mortgage.
Help. I'm a hot mess yall. I have never felt so upset and I'm trying not to show it.
What do I do?

2024.05.19 21:20 Mangoopta0701 Is Neem Oil (Bon-Neem) safe to use on produce?

I just pulled my first batch of radishes and saved all of the greens for a salad tonight. I rinsed everything thoroughly and have been letting them air dry so they don’t wilt. My wife is pregnant so I thought it best to check the safety of Neem Oil before letting her eat the greens. I’ve been using it this year because I had cabbage worms last year that decimated my garden. I didn’t think much about it because the bottle (Bon-Neem) says “safe to use up until the day of harvest” right on the front. However, after looking around online I am not so confident. I am finding variations from “rinse it off, it’s fine” to “you and everyone you’ve ever loved will die a horrible death”. Obviously, the internet can be absurd so I thought I’d ask here.

2024.05.19 21:20 lookinganony AITAH if I cut contact with my dad and adopted sister?

TW: Inappropriate Touching, Self Harm. 
 So my (39f) parents adopted a 10yr old (f) four years ago(She's 14 now), we'll call her Julie. When Julie came as a foster we found out she has ADHD and she had a box that had she wanted to die all over it. My parents are older (57 & 65) so they think it's typical teenage banter. Well fast forward 4 years and she has progressively gotten worse. She's ran away once, often says she's going to kill herself, writes kill lists, tells people online that she doesn't like us and that we're strangers. She causes my parents to argue constantly as she has learned how to pit them against each other. She's also caused my younger sister (26) and I to fight with our younger brother (24), has also caused my dad and I to get into an argument. This past week has been extra hellish, because she ran away again simply because my dad took her electronics for the night since she was being a smart ass. Well she said she was going to kill herself and kill my dad as well, then she took off.
When she finally strolled back around the cops were already here. She accused my dad of inappropriate touching and the cops took her to a local psychiatric unit. The CPS worker talked to her and she couldn't keep her stories straight and eventually told a nurse that she lied and wanted to come home. Well my dad is about to let her come back to their home against the advice of my biological siblings and myself. I'm disabled and live next door to my family so I'm kind of scared she might get a wild hair and actually do something scary and hurt myself or my kid. So would I be the AH if I cut my dad out and his adopted daughter?
TL;DR: My adopted sister made up stories about my dad and he's falling for her crap as usual and I don't feel safe around her.
Please don't post this anywhere else, I'd appreciate it.

I’m noticing in the last week or so the game has been increasingly harder. The other day the stalkers were 4 deep and just murdering me on reinforcement about 6-7 times straight. They were never so strong. I was slumming it in difficulty hard or challenging and the difficulty seemed comparable to impossible. Definitely seems like something is off. I’m fine with the difficulty being higher but then when I need to farm medals and samples I sometimes go to challenging to “take it easy”. I guess the developers had other plans.

Why should I watch Tower of God?
Tower of God is the rare breed of epic fantasy within whose world and characters a person can lose themself. Currently spanning more than 600 Webtoon chapters over nearly a decade and a half, SIU has crafted a vast labyrynth of narrative, lore, and character intrigue to rival any long-running work of fiction.
If you're the kind of person who seeks stories with distinct worlds, locales, power systems, politics, races, lifeforms, history, and challenges, or if you want something as simple as a story about a boy seeking to fulfill the dream of the girl he adores alongside an interesting cast of colorful characters, then Tower of God is for you.
Tower of God also boasts an original soundtrack by Kevin Penkin. If you're a fan of Penkin's work on other shows such as Made in Abyss, Rising of the Shield Hero, The Apothecary Diaries, or the currently airing Spice and Wolf remake, then Tower of God will be well worth your time.

2024.05.19 21:18 MentalPrompt5084 Is it normal to grieve a parent you never met?

TW: drugs/OD
So my dad left when I was very young, I have no memories of him. I have never had the intention of meeting him, nor did I think I would care if he died. However, I just found out about an hour ago that he died from a drug OD. For some reason, I’m really upset. And I’m not sure why. I feel guilty for being upset, because I didn’t care when he was alive.
I found out, that he told people about me. He always said he had 3 children (me, and 2 children with another woman after my mother. I have never spoken to my half siblings) and for some reason, that was like a real punch to the gut. Maybe he never reached out because he thought he wasn’t good enough to be a father, but he loved me. I also heard he harboured a lot of shame for not being there.
I don’t know, it’s just kind of hit me. The loss of a parent, the loss of a relationship I never had, and a relationship I now never can have, even if I wanted it. But is this normal? Is this okay?

2024.05.19 21:18 SeerSword Interviews are my personal hell

I went for an interview a few weeks ago. I got the result back last week, didn't get it. I was told I didn't show I cared enough, wasn't 'paternalistic' enough. I've been going through my head over and over the past week everything I did wrong, every way I could have answered a question.
I asked for the interview questions after. The moment I read it I understood everything requested. Next time I'll ask for questions in a written format as well.
I'm really struggling with this. I'm capable of so much more than what I'm doing and feel like I've hit a dead end, but as always it's etiquette and not understanding what someone means when they say it that betrayed me. I like my job, but I am so understimulated and bored every single day.
The thing is I care a lot about people. I look after my colleagues, I go above and beyond to help. I just struggle to read the intentions of people, especially strangers. The mental calculus of meeting a new person, taking in their mannerisms, intentions, what they mean when they say something (because it's never the same as another person).
I constantly feel like an alien. Every time I think I've finally got a handle on things socially something like this comes along and sweeps me away again.
I'm sorry if this is poorly written or doesn't explain my thoughts well. I just wanted to put them out there. I'm struggling with the idea of leaving my job because I don't know what else I'd do and the job market is very poor at the moment and I'm struggling with the idea of staying because I feel intellectually understimulated.
TL:DR Flubbed a promotion interview because I didn't understand what the interview meant by a question and what they actually expected me to say. Been feeling like an alien and outcast again ever since.
