2024.05.19 15:12 andk316 Should we keep meeting minutes for forever? Is it worth the effort to go paperless, and a way to make these document contents searchable?

One small non-profit I'm involved in has meeting minutes dating back to the 90's. It has actually been very insightful to read through them. They are located in binders on-site, but we recently got a Workspace account and considering getting these documents on the cloud. Is it worth the time to do this? Is there an efficient way to do this (it would be a volunteer project in this case). Is there a way with AI now to have it set up where if we ever want to know the history of something, we just search the name and it will bring up any scanned document that mentions it?

2024.05.19 15:09 simplyme773 Is this manipulation or avoidance?

I got into a casual relationship about 3 years ago. We got close but I never really opened up. I kept dating and sleeping with other people but I told her I wasn't.
She has feelings for me and asked to advance if interested but I said no. But her friend saw me on the dating site with the looking for a serious relationship mentioned. She waited a few weeks and went on the site and I got pissed. She didn't stay because she had feelings and said she had to get over me. At one point we didn't contact each other for over a month. I wanted to see if she cared. She said she thought I was in a relationship at that point.
So I kept her hooked. But I stopped the amount of texting. I didn't stay after sex, i got up and left.
She asked about it multiple times. I said there is nothing wrong, nothing changed. She said it did and she didn't want to be a placeholder. So she started pulling away.
I would text every couple weeks and not say much. Why I don't know. She would respond.
I don't know if this was purposely but she asked me to come over on a Friday night a few weeks ago. I said I had my daughter and couldnt but I would try. I had plans with friends really.
I guess one of the people I'm friends with knows her and knows what's happening and told her I was there. I guess she was asked to go and declined.
She left me a message that she was hurt because I lied to her. I told her it was a last minute change of plans.
I guess the friend told her I had committed awhile ago but she didn't call me on that lie. She told me that I should have left her alone when she started pulling away and said the change toward her hurt.
I said we want to different things and I told her that. She said that i never asked her what she wanted and that if we wanted 2 different things why did I keep calling her when she said she had feelings for me and it hurt when I kept pushing away.and why did I ask about more at one point. Amd why did i.say i didnt do relationships but had looking for a serious one? I did hint at more once.
My buddy said I lied unnecessarily. I could have said I had plans as she's never cared about me and plans or asked questions or done anything obsessive. And that me saying I'll try kept her home because I didn't want her out. That I don't want her moving forward and I know she has feelings and I like it. (He's a therapist as a career).
I call bullshit. I owe her nothing. She told me that she wanted to try more with me and I said no. But my profile says looking for a relationship so she was trying to bow out. I told her I wasn't looking for a relationship and I wasn't on the site. I am on the site though so idk why I Saif that.
I apologized but that's all I've done. I told her walk away from what we have if she needs.
At one point she attacked me for my past. I had an active past including a few divorces which i never told her about. She said she didn't care at all about my past and she found out because someone who knew me told her when we first started talking. She said that it explained why I could be acting the way I was and could be deeply hurt so could I please understand she didn't want to be hurt anymore? She said the lie hurt because she thought we had respect for each other at the minimum and this shows I didn't respect her.
She threw it in my face.
I don't feel I've done anything wrong. I did see her in public with her friend so she's out. She can't be that hurt. I haven't said I'm done and I haven't contacted her. My last words to her were talk soon.
Does this sound like manipulation or avoidance?

2024.05.19 14:38 Jesuslover34 Seoulism part 1

It was the start of a new year, and with that Seouls 4 major school saw a large increase of new students. Everyone was talking about the gang who used to rule over Seoul suddenly disappearing, and nobody was taking ownership of it. (read the Extra info at the bottom, it will help a lot, and it'll explain how things work for new people)

---------------------------------Extra Info----------------------------------
Here are a few rules and things you should keep in mind.
  1. How does anything work? Just make a comment saying what your characters is doing or what he wants to do. I will respond with a scenario. Onec your scenario is finished I'll tell you, you can act again in the next part.
If you fight another OC, it will be put into the next part as these are special fights.
  1. You're allowed to do anything, you want as long as ng as it's in character.
  2. You can be permanently crippled, lose limbs and die.
  3. Random encounters are a thing. They have different rarities, common ones are like you meeting some thugs, while more rare encounters could result in you meeting people like Gun.
  4. After an successful encounter you're rewarded with all kinds of thing, stat buffs, special items, Uniqe Abilities. The more rare the encounter is, the better the rewards. You can also fail the encounter.
  5. Stats are important even outside of fighting. You can raise every single stat by training or from rewards.
Strength: how strong your hits are, how much you can lift/Carry around. And other physical tasks. Speed: how fast you attack, move and think. Potential: is basically how fast you grow from training, Someone with higher potential will gain more than someone with low potential from the same amount of training. Intelligence: your battle IQ as well as your overall IQ. If your int is low your plans will almost always fail even if your plan is really good and detaild. And someone with high int will almost always be successful even if their plan is bad. Endurance: Your Defense, and how much energy you have.
Stats are also hidden, this is so you have to be careful around every person you don't know. High Intelligence character might find out your stats. And some cards also let you view stats.
  1. If you want to do something in secret DM me. This way only you and I will know about it. This could be a betrayal or maybe a secret plan.
7.1 Fight other OCs is something risky, the winner can decide what to do with you. They can to the things mentioned in (2) but they can also try to recruit you.
7.2 Beating an OC will give Special rewards. So it's encouraged by keep in mind that you can suffer a lot if you fail.
If you don't remember something about your OC just DM me

Training

This was a spring full of sharp turns and hard knocks. The original training went towards the Cheap Marathon in Derry, NH. (That race was reported upon by flocculus here.) Training then consisted of maintaining 30-40 weekly miles, with a weekly long run adding two miles from the prior week, with some fluctuation. My hometown is quite hilly, so I foregone specific hill training as all of my runs were not near flat. My final long run was 21.5 miles March 6 before tapering down my weekly long runs.
A freak snowstorm delayed the Cheap Marathon from 4/6 to 4/20, however on 4/9 I fell in my gym shower. Either a rib contusion or hairline fracture paused any running or training for nearly two weeks. Scrambling for some sort of race to scratch the itch and not toss away months of prior training, I found 3 Days at the Fair online – a six day affair featuring ultramarathon categories from 50K to 144H races. They offered a marathon category, with an alluring 50K at similar start times. Naturally, I signed up for shy of 5 more miles than a marathon. One of my running mates gave me the best advice that "ultra running is more of an eating contest than anything else." Considering that during prior marathons I had salt tabs and 3 or 4 GU packets, I thought more about this statement. Hoping my ribs and legs would stand up, I went for the race.
Note: If registering for this race, you can choose the specific date and time you wish to start it. Just stick to that time. I would end up toeing the line with three other 50K runners who opted for the Saturday 9AM start. One could have theoretically started their run any day between Monday and Saturday, at 9AM or 6PM.

Pre-race

The Sussex County NJ fairgrounds were easy enough for me to get to. Those who were not running longer ultra races had plenty of parking mere steps from the registration/food/starting line. (Those running longer races have opportunities to park campers, tents, and so forth.) Weather was gray and cool, at 58˚F/14˚C -ish. I ended up playing with how I'd pack for the run, before noticing racks set up after the start line into which you could place your water bottle so as to not hold it the entire time.

Race

For check-in, I picked up my swag (a plush bathrobe) and timing ankle chip. No bibs here! At 8:50, marathoners and 50K'ers were brought to the respective start lines, 0.1 and 0.2 miles after the timing mat. At 9AM, we would run against the sea of all other runners back to the starting mat, turn around, and continue in the anti-clockwise 1 mile loop course. This is why marathons are 27 laps and 50K is 32 laps – that quarter lap registered as "lap 1 completed," so 31.1 miles registers as 32 at the end. I'm getting ahead of myself!
I found the course compelling enough to follow. After the timing mat, there is a short uphill that weaves past the toilet and shower area, and toward a hairpin. While the 'pin itself was set wide, most of the time I would walk it because of traffic or weakening knees. This continued straight past a Camper's Row of sorts with mild downhill. The second half runs a long arch around the grounds, with a gradual gentle uphill. The course is paved except for a 200m segment of packed gravel – if it had rained, this part could've been muddy. The course completed after a shot down a causeway, and left turning back to the mat. It's this area where registration, fuel/food/catering, and timing is displayed. Overall, no real potholes to be concerned about, just 31 total laps of this!
Hydration and food – tons of everything including Impossible Burgers, PB&J, cola, and sports vitamins – was supplied after the timing mat. I kept track of which lap I was on with a big-screen projection. My name, lap number, prior lap time, and total time appeared. Every 30 minutes or so I decided to take in calories. This included GU Rocktane, GU Vanilla (sooooo good), two stroopwaffels, two ice pops, and a few salt tabs. It was roughly 400 or so more calories than I would have consumed during a race. Hydration was also a factor, that the course was completely uncovered made me feel hotter and "drier" than normal. I might have taken on about 50 fl oz / 1.5 liters of water. My stomach tolerated this!
The main causeway/timing mat area is where I stopped for water and stowed my foods so I didn't have to carry it around. Early on, I didn't understand where the timing screen was, so took minor detours in the registration area. These factors are why my paces seem inconsistent by 30-odd seconds per mile at points.
The people here are amazing! Other runners were highly supportive, chatty, upbeat. One person was dressed up like a chicken (the race logo featured one), and another person blasted some pretty appropriate and popular tunes. It would be a game for me to guess the artist or song on every lap – we had a great banter going! Another group had a dry-erase board and changed it every few minutes or so with a new dad joke. Naturally, I had to stop to retort with another. For example, they wrote, "3.14% of sailors are pi-rates!" I replied, "if it's $4.50 in Jamaica for a beef patty, $3.50 in DR, and $2 in Trinidad, are those the pie rates of the Caribbean?" Sorry, not sorry.
The lack of proper training began to present itself around mile 22. Pacing was targeted at 8:00-8:15 per mile, with goal half-marathon splits at 1h45m or so. After mile 26, I was 3h40m44s, ten minutes off goal pace. Around that point I slowed, taking more walk breaks but promising myself to run at least half every lap. Landmarks were mentally set to designate where walking and running would occur. When I crossed the line I was done.

Post-race

From a mental standpoint, the concept of so many laps did not bother me. My daily runs more often than not are laps in my parking lot, and I've completed a few half marathons on traditional 400m tracks a few times prior – especially during the Global Pandemilovato of '20. Physically, my legs did not feel any worse than they would have after 26.2 miles. My stomach was actually doing quite alright – nausea and headache would set in within a few minutes of finishing other marathons, but not today. My buddy's advice is making me rethink my marathon strategy.
As the event is ultra-marathon focused, finishers of marathon and 50K received a coin. The longer the distance, the larger the coin, with special awards for those who have invested 100+ miles with the organization. (A paver brick [!] stamped with the runner's name is awarded after 1,500 miles with the organization.) Either way, I circled back to the registration area to press my luck at burger availability. Unfortunately they were out, yet making more. While at the beginning of the race the smell of bacon and pancakes wafted onto the line, the sweet smell of success – naturally, manifest as deliciously greasy burgers – greeted us at the end.
Post-race nutriton in my car included Gatorlyte electrolytes, SiS Rego Rapid recovery, and 1.5 liters of water. I opted against the on-site showers and made the long ride home for one which was far more satisfying.
EDIT: Added info about registration. EDIT 2: Grammar.

Il existe plusieurs types de cotes sportives, notamment les cotes décimales, les cotes fractionnaires et les cotes américaines. Les cotes décimales sont les plus couramment utilisées en Europe. Elles représentent le montant total que le parieur recevra s'il gagne, en incluant le montant misé. Par exemple, une cote de 2,00 signifie que le parieur recevra deux fois sa mise initiale en cas de victoire.
Les cotes fractionnaires sont davantage utilisées au Royaume-Uni. Elles sont exprimées sous forme de fractions, par exemple 1/1 pour une cote égale à 2,00. Enfin, les cotes américaines sont basées sur un système de cotes positives et négatives. Les cotes positives indiquent les gains potentiels pour une mise de 100 unités, tandis que les cotes négatives représentent le montant à parier pour gagner 100 unités.
Il est essentiel de comprendre le fonctionnement des cotes sportives pour maximiser ses chances de succès dans les paris sportifs.

Il existe différentes approches et techniques que les parieurs expérimentés emploient pour maximiser leurs gains et minimiser leurs pertes.
L'une des stratégies les plus populaires est la gestion de la bankroll, qui consiste à gérer de manière responsable la somme d'argent consacrée aux paris. En fixant un budget strict et en ne misant qu'une certaine partie de celui-ci sur chaque pari, les parieurs peuvent éviter de dilapider inutilement leurs fonds et optimiser leurs gains sur le long terme.
Une autre stratégie courante est la recherche approfondie et l'analyse des paris avant de prendre une décision. Les parieurs avisés étudient les statistiques, les performances passées des équipes ou des concurrents, ainsi que les conditions de jeu pour évaluer au mieux les risques et les opportunités de gain.
Certains parieurs exploitent également les cotes et les fluctuations du marché des paris pour repérer des opportunités de value bet, c'est-à-dire des paris où les chances de gain sont estimées supérieures à ce que les bookmakers proposent.
Enfin, la discipline et la gestion des émotions sont essentielles dans les stratégies de paris. Savoir rester calme en cas de perte et ne pas se laisser emporter par l'euphorie en cas de gain sont des aspects cruciaux pour préserver sa bankroll et faire des choix éclairés.
En conclusion, les stratégies de paris sont un outil précieux pour les parieurs souhaitant améliorer leurs performances et maximiser leurs gains. En combinant une approche réfléchie, une analyse approfondie et une gestion rigoureuse de l'argent, il est possible d'optimiser ses chances de succès dans l'univers des paris sportifs et de divertissement.

2024.05.19 14:01 ThrowAway7s2 "Sister Bay Baptist Church Was 'Swedish' Until 1934" from the March 22, 1962 Door County Advocate

Sister Bay Baptist Church Was 'Swedish' Until 1934

Sister Bay Baptist Church Was 'Swedish' Until 1934

The origin of the First Baptist church of Sister Bay dates back to the 1860's when a Sunday school work was begun in their pioneer home, by Anders Seaquist. He and his family had at first settled in Marinette, Wis., upon their arrival from Sweden, but later moved to Door county, where they had secured land near Ephraim.
As a believer in the Lord and His word, he saw the need for Christian teaching among the settlers' children. Through his efforts the Sunday school he established was held in the various homes in the settlement and gratefully received by the Swedish settlers.
The Norwegian settlers already had two churches in Ephraim, one Moravian and one Lutheran.
In 1873 the arrival of John Anderson and his family from Sweden, proved to be a great blessing. Anderson was a lay preacher and he gladly joined his efforts to Seaquist's work which was now extended to include a preaching service.
Life for these rugged pioneers was hard but their faith in God was strong. They were grateful for the freedom they enjoyed as they gathered for their services of worship.
Small churches were being organized throughout the state, under the leadership of a Rev. A. P. Ekman, a missionary from Swedish Baptist General Conference of America. In the summer of 1877 Rev. Ekman visited this area and encouraged these scattered countrymen to organize themselves into a church.
On July 19, 1877, the formal organization of the Baptist church was completed with Rev. Ekmans' assistance. This meeting was held in the log cabin home of Hans Gunderson, a school master from Norway. Although he was not a man of the church, he was glad to see church work set up in the community. Historical records state there were 14 charter members namely; Anders Seaquist, John Anderson, Mrs. Maria Anderson, C. P. Carlson, Mrs. Lovisa Peterson, G. J. Johanson, a Mrs. Johnson, Aaron Peterson, Thom Peterson, Mrs. Sofia Seaquist, Mrs. August Erickson, Oscar Anderson and two unrecorded names.
These few dedicated folk formed the nucleus of our church. During the first few years John Anderson continued as lay preacher and Anders Seaquist as S. S. Superintendent and as secretary of the new organization.
As the work grew it became evident that a pastor was needed. In 1881, the church decided to call as pastor, a Rev. Wassell recently arrived from Sweden. He agreed to come to Sister Bay to look over the field and decided to accept the challenge offered to him.
Duo to the small struggling congregation, the pastor's salary was understandably meager, therefore Rev. Wassell found it necessary to help support his family as a part time farmer. As the congregation continued to grow, the church was able to assume the pastor's living expenses with the help of the American Baptist Conference. Rev. Wassell, a hardy man of God, continued as pastor of the church for 25 years. During his pastorate, services were held at Ellison Bay, Newport and Baileys Harbor.
In 1882 the first church building was erected on the present site of the church. The land for this purpose was donated by H. J. Wiltse, grandfather of Glendon Wiltse, the present vice chairman of the church. A community canvas preceeded the erection of the building. Due to the scarcity of money, many willingly volunteered work in procuring materials and in the construction. Simple in design, a large room with wooden benches, an enormous wood stove and kerosene lights, it however served its purpose until growing numbers literally pushed out the walls and made an addition necessary in 1902. The first parsonage was built in 1905; Rev. Wassell was still the leader when these improvements were made.
One of the problems that eventually came up was the question of language. The Swedish tongue had been used exclusively but it was now realized that a common language was necessary in order to [meet] the needs of a growing community of different nationalities. Seeing this need, Rev. Wassell resigned in order that a man more conversant with the English language might be called.
Rev. L. J. Olson took over the pastorate in 1906 and under his leadership plus other succeeding pastors, the Swedish language gradually gave way to English and the work has been extended and enlarged.
The present church building was erected in 1916 to accommodate the increasing congregation. Additional Sunday school facilities, an enlarged basement and other improvements were added in the thirties. The most recent remodeling was done in 1959 and included a pastor's study and a modern kitchen.
During the early years a German American Baptist church had been in existence at Newport for many years but had disbanded. In 1907 it was decided to establish a Mission work at Newport among the Scandinavian people. This was carried on in the rented old church building which was later purchased. A new church building was erected at Newport in 1924 and 4 years later in 1928 the Mission was organized into a church with 36 charter members.
As early as 1903 the church had a library it was reorganized and enlarged in 1944-45 and is added to year by year, filling a definite need for both children and adults.
The Sunday school work has continued faithfully through the years. Classes are held for all ages and the present membership is 215. C. P. Carlson was the superintendent following Anders Seaquist and others in succession have been;
J. P. Gothin, C. Palm, A. Magnusson, C. Wassell (All short terms); Axel Anderson served 29 years and 4 months; John Seaquist served 35 years; Leonard Peterson served 2 years and Winfield Anderson served since 1955.
Another activity is the Daily Vacation Bible school which has been conducted for two weeks each summer since it was started by Pastor Sanders in 1934.
On Feb. 19, 1934, the name of the church was officially changed from Swedish Baptist to First Baptist church of Sister Bay.
The church was happy to participate in the organization of the First Baptist church of Sturgeon Bay, In Feb. 1943 and endeavored to aid them financially when necessary.
A momentous decision was made by the church at New Years 1948, when it was decided to assume the support of a missionary family to Japan. Rev. and Mrs. Francis Sorley and son were assigned to us. The following year, on Mar. 22, 1949, the church assumed partial support of Dr. and Mrs. Charles Merchant and family, missionaries to Assam, India.
The ministry of music has always had a large part in the development of our church. We have been blessed with many and varied musical talents which have added much to the effectiveness of the work. A mixed choir has sung more or less regularly through the years. The first male chorus disbanded in 1943 after 25 years; however another male chorus was again organized in 1950.
Other organizations in the church are: Ezra Bible class; King's Daughters' class; Mission circle; Senior Fellowship group; C.Y.F. (high school age) G.M.G. (grade school girls); A.W.A.N.A. (grade school boys). The present membership of the church is 255. The Sunday morning worship service is being broadcast over WDOR for the 6th consecutive year.
Over 84 years have passed since the church was organized by a few persons who banded themselves together to promote their own spiritual growth, but who also had a vision of the need for spreading the gospel.

2024.05.19 14:00 ClubbedRabb1t Partner visa 801/820

Hello everyone! I’m looking to apply for 801/820 partner visa. I am an Australian citizen and my partner is a Chinese national. She was most recently on a graduate visa, but is now on a tourist visa (not sure which one exactly) but it’s expiring next month June 14th. I want to get her on a partner visa. We applied for the de facto status earlier this month on the 7th of may I believe. However, upon looking around the web, it seems like there isn’t a solid or definite answer for partner visa applications. My partner and I met last year in April. We started really talking to each other in may. She then went overseas for about two months returning at the end of July. We started dating on the 3rd of August. That period of time overseas, I spent a ridiculous amount of time constantly on call with her or just messaging her, even though we weren’t ’dating’ at that time. When she got back, she was renting by herself at a new place, and once we started dating I was constantly over during the day, and if not staying the night as well. (A lot of evidence). We went for our first trip overseas together for two weeks last September and prior to that I picked up a second job to manage/gather enough finances to support our relationship. We also had a few trips within NSW, to Canberra and Kiama and some few other places. Anyway, we had our first big holiday beginning of this year where we went overseas for 2 months where we spent all of it together. I also had the chance to meet her familiy and live with them for most of the trip. As soon as we got back, she stayed at my parents house for 2 months as we settled down and started getting back into routine. Fast forward to April, we finally moved in together. We also registered for a defacto relationship in may, have the receipt but awaiting processing time. I have a few questions: - How is each application assessed and is there anything big or specific I should consider? Do I have to consider biases or not? - our relationship has been short, and we are both very young. However we have both experience tremendous growth in individuality and mathrity and we can prove it - does time matter here then? - our defacto registration was only earlier this month and we are still awaiting the processing time to finish before we receive our certificate - this is something I am confused about - it says that we have to have been in a defacto relationship for 12 months on the official immigration website however other sites such as Facebook reddit and travel agencies say that this doesn’t matter - I would like to hear the different experiences people have had with this step
I know this is an extremely long list of questions and I feel like the majority has already been answered however i think if I keep snooping around the internet and just seeing different answers and opinions it kind of stuffs up the approach I should take towards this, so I just decided to ask myself. Really sorry for taking up your time and any reply/advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone !!

It was the start of a new year, and with that Seouls 4 major school saw a large increase of new students. Everyone was talking about the gang who used to rule over Seoul suddenly disappearing, and nobody was taking ownership of it. (read the Extra info at the bottom, it will help a lot, and it'll explain how things work for new people)

---------------------------------Extra Info----------------------------------
Here are a few rules and things you should keep in mind.
  1. How does anything work? Just make a comment saying what your characters is doing or what he wants to do. I will respond with a scenario. Onec your scenario is finished I'll tell you, you can act again in the next part.
If you fight another OC, it will be put into the next part as these are special fights.
  1. You're allowed to do anything, you want as long as ng as it's in character.
  2. You can be permanently crippled, lose limbs and die.
  3. Random encounters are a thing. They have different rarities, common ones are like you meeting some thugs, while more rare encounters could result in you meeting people like Gun.
  4. After an successful encounter you're rewarded with all kinds of thing, stat buffs, special items, Uniqe Abilities. The more rare the encounter is, the better the rewards. You can also fail the encounter.
  5. Stats are important even outside of fighting. You can raise every single stat by training or from rewards.
Strength: how strong your hits are, how much you can lift/Carry around. And other physical tasks. Speed: how fast you attack, move and think.

I've decided to discontinue my therapy sessions and have found solace in conversing with strangers online, despite the platform starting to feel like a dating site, which isn't my interest. I'm a 33-year-old woman living in Southeast Asia, working in sales, and endeavoring to heal past traumas while discovering my life's purpose. I prefer engaging with individuals at least 28 years old to bridge the generational gap. I appreciate the anonymity of platforms like Reddit and prefer voice calls or messages over text.

2024.05.19 13:18 pillowcase-of-eels [Music] Emilie Autumn's Asylum, pt. 6 – High-concept musician responds to online criticism by waging successful attrition war against her own fanbase

🪞
Welcome back to the Asylum write-up, where we explore the decade-long slow-motion car crash that is the Emilie Autumn fandom.
Sorry this installment took so long to upload! Just a heads-up, I may take some time to deliver the last one too – these posts take forever to format on Reddit's finicky-ass editor, and my dumb real life is currently keeping me from precious Internet time. Thank you for your patience! You have my word that everyone who pre-ordered the final installment will receive a PERSONAL, HANDWRITTEN letter autographed and illustrated by me, a list of the snacks I consumed while composing this write-up, some exclusive behind-the-scenes secrets, and a pony.
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4.1Part 4.2 Part 5
Places, everyone This is a test Throw your stones Do your damage Your worst, and your best (...) And if I had a dollar For every time I repented the sin And commit the same crime I'd be sitting on top of the world today (“God Help Me”, 2006🎵)
Quick recap of where we left off. First, there were five to ten halcyon years of pleasant and meaningful interactions between EA and her blossoming fanbase, prominently by way of her official forum. Then, circa 2009-2010, EA's online presence shifted towards sudden anger outbursts, ban-hammering, and an increasingly top-down communication style.
This created a sort of primordial rift within the fanbase, between those who supported EA's right to speak her mind and regulate her own fan spaces however she pleased – and those who thought that her reactions were rude and inappropriate (at best), and that even fan spaces should allow for reasonable, non-abusive criticism of the artist.
Between a poorly-handled book release (see Part 3), the controversial (Part 2) or dubiously true (Part 4) contents of said book, and serious shade from various former collaborators (Part 5), more and more fans had pressing thoughts about EA's work ethic and choices. EA attempted damage control through drastic forum rules that made it virtually impossible to voice any “serious” critical opinion. It didn't work, of course: instead of squashing the mutiny, she created a schism.
Critical fans and active haters started congregating on unofficial platforms.

“WITH MUFFINS LIKE THIS, WHO NEEDS ENEMIES?”: TROLL LIKE A GIRL

So here we were, the early 2010s. The official forum (which had about 700 members in 2006, if you recall) was now thousands-strong, reaching just over 12,000 registered users in 2012 – not all of them active, but still. In terms of sheer numbers and content creation, the party was POPPIN'... but increasingly in parts of the Asylum that escaped EA's jurisdiction, such as Tumblr, where they could speak their mind freely.
You play the victim very well You've built your self-indulgent hell You wanted someone to understand you Well, be careful what you wish for, because I do (“I Know Where You Sleep”, 2006🎵)
In one wing of Asylum Tumblr, a smattering of call-out blogs emerged, which laid out EA's various lies, faux pas, shitty takes, and general deep-seated terribleness in detailed timelines and screenshots (or, short of that, long-winded bullet points). While many such blogs framed it as “serious” whistleblowing and did their best to remain as fact-based and neutral as they could, there was some genuine disgust, animosity and creepiness towards EA on that side of Tumblr; for some ex-fans, “exposing the truth” was mostly justify obsessive hatred, prying and verbal abuse. Some, for instance, felt the bizarre need to side with EA's mother in their estrangement. (One user, with the URL “emilyautumnfischkopf”, argued in a serious and down-to-earth tone - but with zero sources - that EA's upbringing had been nothing but peaceful and supportive until she ungratefully kicked her loving family to the curb for no reason at all. They were later revealed 🔍 to have an alternate handle as “eaisalyingcunt”.)
Either way, through these blogs, a number of potential drama bombs that had mostly flown under the radar were dredged up from over the years – some of which were hard to ignore, even for supportive fans. Where to begin?
There was that nonsense in-joke song, captured twice on camera during the 2009 tour (to very little outrage, at the time), crassly called “Manatee Retard”📺. Or EA's scathing response, in print, to a wheelchair user who found it insensitive that she used a bedazzled wheelchair as a prop to do sexy acrobatics on stage. (“Your offence taken at my hard-won self-acceptance proves that I indeed have something to fight against”, she wrote). Spoken word tracks where she made trivializing knock-knock jokes about serious mental illnesses she didn't have, like schizophrenia and OCD. Multiple instances of calling Britney Spears a “bimbo” and a “Hollywood fucked-up”, resentfully claiming that she only shaved her head because she was “hopped up on drugs” and certainly not because she was “bipolar”, a word the press liked to wield as an insult anyway. (“That's almost like calling someone a retard!” Yeah, heaven forbid.) The meanest, most distasteful paragraphs in the book. Basically everything problematic EA had ever said or written.📝 In retrospect, it had been a long time coming, but it was a lot to take in – and certainly more off-putting, even to less emotionally invested fans, than silly lies about her age and last name.
In another wing of Asylum Tumblr, some fans had had it up to here and just wanted to have fun. 🎵 If Plague Rats had learned one valuable lesson from EA, it was how to crack a joke in the face of absurd tragedy – and the general state of the EA fandom certainly warranted a few.
In 2012, Fight Like a Girl was released. After six long years, three of which had been peaceful, the Opheliac era was officially over. The new album and ensuing tour confirmed that the Asylum had entered a process of glamorous Broadway-style militarization. 🎵📺
The mood board was “Roman general meets Vegas showgirl meets Victorian street urchin”.🪞 The color palette was, to naysayers, “musty pink and rotten, stale piss yellow”. 🐀 The keyword was “REVENGE” (through the power of... self-expression! sorority! brutal assault with rusty medical implements!). The chorus of the title song had an intriguing run-on line about getting “revenge on the world, or at least 49% of the people in it” 🎵 – which seemed like an awful lot, and was widely interpreted (to cheers, boos, or uncomfortable sighs) as a misandrist jab at literally all men on Earth.
The show was essentially a demo version of the musical, in that the setlist vaguely reflected the order of events in the story – but prior reading was essential in order to get what the hell was going on on stage. This one Broadway reviewer had not perused the literature before seeing the show 🔍, and hated: the set, the choreography, the skits, the plot, the lyrics, the music, the concept. (Seriously, you should read the review. It's not even my show and I feel like quitting show business.)
Pre-show VIP encounters, now violin-free, were lorded over by EA's new manager🐀, whose official title was “Asylum Headmistress”. (Interesting choice – she sounds fun!) The swag bags were less substantial than before, and the “greet” part of the meet-and-greet was rarely more than a quick hug and photo op.
On Twitter, EA continued to embrace her “I am very badass” fronting attitude...
Often wonder if cyberbullies r aware they’re fucking w/ a girl who’s BFs w/ maker of the SAW films & is marrying a knife-throwing scorpion. (🐀📝)
...and her taste for needlessly inflammatory statements. About an aisle sign in a supermarket:
If this does not infuriate you, then you're a fucking potato.
(Again with the confounding crypto-ableism, EA! 🔍) She also went through a phase of raging against Lady Gaga 📝, who had stolen her idea of using a wheelchair on stage as an able-bodied woman. 🔍 That failed to convince anyone that she wasn't the histrionic diva that haters made her out to be.
Spurred on by EA's rallying cries and “us vs them” mentality, loyalists turned the white-knighting up to 11. On Twitter, some Plague Rats got into cat fights with Lady Gaga's Little Monsters (what a time to be alive). Others tried to balance out the Tumblr negativity with initiatives like “Spreading a Plague of Love” – a “positive-only” confession blog, whose extreme fangirling, comically drastic rules and hyper-defensive tone📝 did not debunk the increasingly popular notion that “true Plague Rats” were a bunch of authoritarian and hopelessly brainwashed fanatics.
EA truthers and other anti-fans started lashing out at anyone who dared express any positive opinion of EA, solidifying claims that the backlash against EA was just a conspiracy of bitter, hysterical bullies.
All this to say: every passing day brought new reasons for fans to get mad at EA and each other, and everyone in the Asylum was in need of a laugh. It's not easy having a good time.🦠
Leading up to Fight Like a Girl and in the years that followed, user-submission-based meme blogs took off, most notably “Spreading a Plague of Lulz / Troll Like a Girl”. A lot of the early submissions were absurdist humor and toothless, cheezburger-Impact memes (a style that was, oddly, already dated at the time). Those often originated in good fun, and from loyal fans, on the official forum. But there was also true snark, satirizing EA's questionable ethics, outrageous claims, and easily spoofed artistic gimmicks. A new slang of Asylumspeak emerged: Glittertits (slight NSFW), GAGA!!, EA Gusta and all its memeface variants, Get outta mah house!, Are You Suffering?, Fight Like A Goat, [Random celebrity] copied EA (a subgenre in its own right), ...
Most of the “trolling” was directed at unrepentant bootlickers and, to a lesser extent, red-in-the-face haters and creeps. Meme blogs would post joke comments under “serious” or gushing submissions on Wayward Victorian Confessions, and taunt loyalist accounts by tagging them in their posts. When a few people complained on WVC that almost all of the Bloody Crumpets to date had been thin white able-bodied women, and a few fans responded by sharing their dream-casts for a more diverse line-up, the blog was flooded for days with confessions that “X should be a Crumpet” (candidates included RuPaul, Mitt Romney, Nicki Minaj, EA's therapist, and the WVC admins). Farcical shenanigans like that.
Ah, but some people will always cross the line, won't they. EA threads popped up on merciless, bully-friendly snark platforms like Lolcow, Pretty Ugly Little Liar, and Encyclopedia Dramatica. Snarkers with a mean streak and obsessive haters mingled in some of the more aggressive, 4-chan-spirited retaliation against EA – which would be called “brigading” in modern parlance. This included flooding EA's Goodreads page with one-star reviews (see part 4), repeatedly editing her Wikipedia page to include her legal name and birth year, and ensuring that Googling said name would bring up current pictures of her.
All of this compounded agitation fragmented the once-united fandom beyond recognition.🦠 Through substantial disagreements among fans, personal bickerings, layers upon layers of inscrutable in-jokes, and cross-platform telephone games, the Asylum morphed into a booby-trapped Escher room.
Satire blogs were taken in earnest. Earnest fan blogs scanned as satire. Memes would get called out as abuse. Appreciation without attached criticism would get mocked as bootlicking. Obvious jokes made by EA would be taken at face value. One divisive confession could trigger days and days of debate, to the point that WVC eventually banned confessions in response to other confessions. New waves of infighting created a confusing web of rival sub-factions🐀, each accusing the others of being toxic, cliquish, and delusional.
The shared fantasy was broken, the collective vision had crumbled, no onez was speaking the same language anymore. Fans would jump down the throat of other fans who held almost identical views about EA, except for that one thing she said or did that one time. Everyone had differing thoughts on what should or shouldn't acceptable to discuss, question, excuse, make fun of.
War is hell.

SCORCHED EARTH SHENANIGANS: HONEY, I SHRUNK THE ASYLUM

Would you tear my castle down Stone by stone And let the wind run through my windows Till there was nothing left But a battered rose? (“Castle Down”, 2003🎵)
Haters vs sycophants is not really the kind of conflict where one side can come out on top (if you're participating, you've already lost). But in the long tug-of-war between “grassroots” and “EA-sponsored” fan spaces, the ultimate winner is obvious – in that the former is gasping in agony, a shriveled husk of its former glory, while the latter... is non-existent. This is due in no small part to EA's tendency, like the Czars of old, to settle conflicts by setting Moscow on fire.🔍)
That's not entirely fair: unlike EA, the czar only did it that once.
By early 2013, as EA was gearing up for her third Fight Like a Girl tour at the end of the year, the official forum was... not as lively as it once had been. Not just because of the stifling rules and disgruntlement towards EA, or because EA herself hadn't really posted anything on there in years; the Internet was also changing, and forums in general were fast becoming passé.
This made it difficult for EA to create a safe space where she could talk to fans, and fans could talk to and about her, in a way she deemed suitable (ie, a space she could gate-keep and regulate enough to keep it completely free from negative criticism). Social media was a minefield; she still posted regularly, but didn't interact very much. So EA and the Headmistress came up with a way to filter out the unbelievers: an official fan club📝, aptly called the “Asylum Army”, with a $100 entry price.
Joining the AA came with a dog tag, a sew-on patch, and a lifetime membership certificate signed by EA and – for some reason – the Headmistress. (Unlike EA's best friend and sound engineer back in the forum's heyday, I don't think fans ever really embraced the FLAG-era manager as part of the Asylum in-group. She came across more as a coordinator / businessperson / adult chaperone, at best.🐀) So, slightly better goodies than you'd get by joining the other AA 🔍 ... but not by much. The main appeal was that members would have access to exclusive content, special merch, giveaways, early bird tickets for future shows, and regular video chats with EA.
The concept itself drew a fair amount of criticism, as you can imagine. Between the name🐀, the price, and the inherent gatekeeping of a pay-to-join fanclub, many balked at the monetizing of a concept that had once (like, three years back) been significantly more DIY, grassroots, and inclusive. 📝🐀
Then again, many also longed for a positive, drama-free space where fans could just be fans. And while the creation of the AA was generally recognized as a quick cashgrab, a lot of people were surprisingly cool with it. EA was trying to finance her dream musical, after all – although a number of fans wished she had gone about raising funds in a less sketchy way.
So around 400 fans shelled out (which, according to the Headmistress📝, “basically cover[ed] the cost of running the fanclub itself – keeping the database up, website, etc.”). Enough for a close-knit, but sizable community. But already, there was a conflict of interest: a high fanclub entry fee essentially demands that you pledge loyalty to the artist over loyalty to your fellow fans, who wish to join but can't afford to. Sharing, caring, and ensuring no one felt left out were some of the more positive values cultivated in the fandom... but leaking exclusive content would surely piss off other paying members🐀, and make EA feel betrayed all over again. (And she had barely just started to mellow out on social media!)
...But then again, this is the internet. After the first month of secret AA drops (lyric sheets, some photoshoot outtakes – nothing too juicy, really), there were, yes, some leaks. EA was predictably miffed, and retaliated by... ghosting the fanclub for weeks at a time in its first few months of existence (great look!). She eventually found the “solution” to her problem, by providing something you couldn't right-click-save (and which had been part of the promised perks to begin with): live interaction.
Over webcam, she was her usual in-person bubbly, charming, funny self. Everyone seemingly had a good time during the fanclub video chat, and this gave people faith and hope.
There were a few more events, giveaways, etc. As promised, ahead of the fall 2013 tour (the last one to date, it would turn out), AA members got priority access to show tickets and VIP bundles. The latter were much pricier than before, and only included soundcheck, a photo-op, and three goodies: a tin of loose-leaf tea, a signed printer-paper setlist, and a small flag that said “F.L.A.G.”.🔍 Some stuff continued to leak – but, as some of the outlaws pointed out (scroll down to the Disqus comments), they were mostly relaying information that was relevant to the entire fanbase, such as updates about ongoing projects (the dragged-out recording of the audiobook, for one).
In early 2014, lifetime memberships were closed, and replaced with monthly, quarterly and yearly subscription tiers. Bizarrely, you ended up paying $3 more per month if you bought a $99 yearly subscription📝 – but it did include the patch, dog tag, and piece of paper!
Sometimes I kind of want to be part of the cool kids and register to the Asylum Army. Then I remember how it came about, what you could get for the same price a couple years ago, how the whole thing was and is handled, and that I won’t support any of this bullshit. (And then I roll around naked in all the money I’m saving.) (🐀)
Still, a number of fans rejoiced at the affordable monthly option, and joined – if not for the exclusive content and merch (which were... okay, but not much to write home about), then for the friendly, drama-free exchanges with an artist they actually did love, in spite of all the frustration.
For the still-too-poor or still-undecided, there was always the forum! It wasn't as active as it used to be, but a few die-hards still managed to keep the lights on... until, inevitably, Someone Did Something and Ruined Everything. (Once again: EA's wrath is spectacular, but rarely completely unprovoked.) The incident features one notable figure in the Asylum community. Let's call him the Collector.
OK, so maybe you remember the meme I linked to in Part 4, with Christian Grey and the ginormous EA hoard. Well, that's the Collector's collection. The “Violin” promo that I called the "Holy Grail of the fandom" in the same paragraph? Also his. The handwritten lyrics that went for $940? Guess who won that auction. Over the years, the Collector had probably spent five figures on EA merch and shows, and although that fact was a little unsettling, he was a very active, easy-going, and generally well-liked fixture of the fandom.
One day in 2012, shortly after the Headmistress had replaced EA's old Chicago BFF as main forum admin, the Collector's account got banned or restricted over something dumb. When the ban wasn't lifted as quickly as he hoped, he took it... the way one takes things when one is unhealthily invested: he started spamming Headmistress and the mod team with increasingly rambling and abusive emails (lost to time, probably for the best). When that didn't work quickly enough, he tried a different route.
One of the many auctions that the Collector had won, some years prior, was EA's old iPod Touch📝 – which contained all of her favorite tunes and, buried somewhere in the data cache... a phone number. Which the Collector tried calling. And wouldn't you know it: EA picked up. She congratulated him on his sleuthing skills, listened patiently as he made his case, apologized for any distress caused by the unfair account restriction, and then they got married.
Kidding! She freaked the fuck out, hung up, and banned him for life from the forum and all EA shows and events.
After his ban, the Collector allegedly still tried to attend at least one VIP pre-show (one source in the comments says he was allowed to buy some merch, refunded for his ticket, and escorted out). He joined the Reform forum to bitch about EA and try to rally people to his cause, possibly made revenge posts about her on darker snark forums, and continued to hound the Asylum mod team. So in June 2014, EA came up with a radical and unexpected fix to the Collector problem.
The official Asylum Fan Forum has been shut down permanently. I have personally paid thousands of dollars each year to keep the forum safe and secure for you ... Unfortunately, the forum has not been kept safe and secure for me, a truth which disappoints me greatly, instead becoming a place where people who have physically threatened myself and my staff prey upon forum members, pressuring them to contact me and my staff on their behalf. If the gullible wish to humor my stalkers (who live in their parent’s basement at age 30 something) and thus put me in danger, they may do it on their own dime. They may also fuck off, because stupidity can kill, and I won’t be your victim. To those who enjoyed the forum, you know who to thank for its closure. (“On the closing of the Asylum Forum”)
Voilà! This is how a decade-long archive of shared history ends: not with a bang, but with a dirty delete and a sod-off communiqué.
The obliteration of the forum took everyone by surprise...
I was actually on the forum when it was taken down. I was navigating between posts and when I went to click on a different board, an error message came up. I honestly cried a little, I'm not ashamed to say. (WVC admin on Reddit, 2024)
...and I do mean everyone:
Chicago BFF / ex-admin, the next morning: Whoa, EA forum shut down? Ex-mod: It turns out that if someone spends enough years actively “waging war” to destroy what they can’t have, eventually they’ll be successful. * eye roll * Not even mods got prior warning. Just all the sudden, poof, gone. BFF: Really? She did not let the moderators know?! This is sounding worse and worse. Uggh. I’m so sorry. Such a loss. (...) Ok, threats are serious, but why not just put it in archive mode so no one can post? (...) Sad. I shall light a candle in the forum's honor. (Facebook posts; scroll down for screenshots)
It was a gut punch, especially for people who had poured countless hours into the community, or could have used some prior warning to save years of their own writing from the role-playing threads. One last chance to take a look around the place that had meant so much to so many.
From the wording of the announcement of closing the forum and a number of other things, it sometimes seems like EA doesn't like her fans much. :/ (🐀)
Three months after the forum was nuked, Battered Rose (a venerable EA fansite, which had been around since the Enchant era and had one of the most complete EA galleries online) announced that it was shutting down too.📝 The admin, who had also been a long-time forum mod, cited a lack of “time, energy, passion, or money” to keep the website going... and being upset at the sudden disappearance of the forum. It was, truly, the end of an era for the Asylum.
...Well, no point in living in the past. For those who could afford it, and still wanted to talk to/about EA after that (not everyone did 🐀), there was always the Asylum Army fanclub!
Over the summer of 2014, EA held regular live chats and Q&A's, and... many attendees really enjoyed them, and thought the AA was well worth the money after all. She also quietly parted ways with the much poo-pooed Headmistress around that time.
Just spent over 4 hours giggling, drinking tea and playing guessing games in chat with EA and other Asylum Army members ... No griping, no downers, just lots of fun. I think I like the way the ‘new fandom’ is going and now I’m really glad I finally decided to join the Army. (September 4, 2014🐀; Battered Rose had closed the day before)
The forum was lost forever, but perhaps that was a chance for a fresh start. Could this fanclub thing really be the Asylum Renaissance that fans had been longing for?
...I have come today to a very difficult but necessary decision, and that is to discontinue the Emilie Autumn Official Fanclub. The site itself, and the community chatroom, will remain open to you indefinitely, but I will no longer be making updates to the site. (Newsletter, September 8, 2014📝)
...Never mind, then.
Turns out the fanclub had been the Headmistress' idea all along. EA had been reluctant from the start, and although she really enjoyed the live chats with a safe community of people “who are there for the right reasons”, she couldn't overcome her fundamental discomfort with the concept. Lifetime and regular members would receive a bunch of digital downloads and a -35% coupon on the Asylum Emporium for their troubles. EA said she would definitely pop back once in a while for live chats, for free, just for fun, but to my knowledge, she never did.
And so the most devoted fans were left standing in the rain...
She is happy, she made it. She is fulfilling her dreams, found love and happiness after all the pain. I understand that she now doesn’t need “us” anymore ... That doesn’t change the fact she broke my heart with taking the Asylum Army and the forum from me. Yet, I am happy for her. (🐀)
...while naysayers pointed and laughed, Nelson-style.🦠
I don’t feel sorry at all for the people that paid for the Asylum Army fan club. Most of them knew that EA is an atrocious business woman and has broken many promises before. In fact, I laugh at them. They seriously thought that EA would actually stay consistent with this? (🐀)

EVERYTHING MUST GO: THE ASYLUM WHOLESALE

EA fans were left without an “official” home for about three years. This gave them plenty of time to be annoyed at EA for: not releasing the audiobook on time, not materializing any new project for a while... and the new sin of peddling random, ridiculously marked-up AliBaba jewelry as “merch” on her official store. Think faux-antique cameo pendants and $30 Big Ben rings (...because the Asylum story is set in London, get it?).
The whole accessories section looks like a tacky overpriced English souvenir shop. (🐀)
The fanbase lost a lost of steam in those in-between years, because there wasn't much to stick around for. As evidenced by the positive reception of the AA live chats, even in the midst of unresolved drama, out-loud interactions in a friendly environment have always been EA's saving grace. Considering the amount of online hate, there are shockingly few accounts of bad IRL encounters with EA: most people say that in live conversation, she comes across as a fun, warm, and genuinely sweet person. Some report that their negative opinion shifted after meeting her.
But there were no chats or live shows anymore. There was only social media, where she ignored questions and vague-posted about overdue projects – and the newsletter📝, which was all saccharine love-bombing to promote bland dropshipped trinkets. For fans who remembered the handcrafted merch (and two-way communication) of the early years, it was a bitter pill to swallow.

2024.05.19 12:48 NoLemon3277 [25M] Best ways to find a SO as a introverted guy with no social media or close friends?

I recently got sober from alcohol a few months ago and have been feeling like I’m ready to find a long term relationship. I wasted about 4 years drinking, trying to be someone I wasn’t , and no longer have any close friends and last relationship due to my alcohol problems. Now I am done for good and am looking to find a good woman while also trying to better myself and go soul searching. I am not a fan of the social games of posting on socials, I really just need guidance on the latest dating sites for people looking for long term relationships or general places to meet or clubs to join. I have been out of the game since 2021, wasted 4 years with alcohol and have no clue how much dating has changed tbh.

2024.05.19 12:42 Wrong_Scientist_1541 Representation

This is gonna be a rant and I guess I looking for validation but I know I will have someone in the community disagree with me since that has already happen to me within a suppose to be safe place within our community. Knew I was ace since 17 but was with an allo partner and 2 years after the breakup I decided to explore more with my a sexuality and dating sites. I have gotten so many messages regarding the things I post and it honestly shocked me. I think another reason I was always afraid to form connections within the ace community is because of the stereotype we have for being social awkward, prudish , unattractive and not ALLL OF US ARE LIKE THAT. Long story short I posted a photo of myself and it offended someone and they question my asexuality. My allo friends and other ace friends didn’t see what was the issue…. Is this a common experiences for other aces? Is this an issue that is common in the community overall or an issue of sexism , misogyny, or what ? I just trying to figure out why can’t I want to be sexy but not want sex. We need more representation of all forms of ace people and not the ones who can cause harm to those are not like them. I know there are other aces like me.
Disclaimer: I’m not saying all issues are awkward and all of that I just always heard that from other members of LGBTQ+ so they told me to beware but I didn’t think allllllll are like that but since joining the community I have had those encounters and if anyone wants to see the photo I can PM
