2024.05.29 00:04 xsvpreme A lot of questions I want answered before 25...
I'm 24 (M) with a HS diploma, I went to college for a year but due to my bad decision making with the school I chose, it became too expensive which forced me to give up school completely. Instead of seeking alternatives for cheaper schools to continue to path to obtain my degree (which is what I thought I wanted at the time) I felt pressured by my parents instead that I needed to work or I was out the house. Once I got the job at 19, I felt like I was doing pretty good with the salary + benefits I got at the time, I was able to live comfortably having that security within my workplace knowing I was a great employee always looking to learn more. Then I turned 20, my parents ended up moving out without me which led me to take over the apartment we once lived in together and have an instant overhead of about $1500/monthly. I was only making around $2300 so it was kind of rough for a few months until I was able to get a roommate for a year or so which allowed me to split costs 60/40 and be complacent, just not "comfortable" to my standards at least. Even with the roommate I felt like it was still hard to save money and be able to get out of the hole I was in after taking over the apartment so I was presented an opportunity to try a different avenue of work which allowed me to make the most money I'd ever make in my life working in Healthcare IT. I took the risk of leaving my job at the time which I was unhappy doing because of all the countless hours, heavy lifting and little to no incentive to grow within the company so I felt like I had to jump ship and risk it for the biscuit to see if this was worth it because I've always loved Tech and Computers growing up so I felt like it was a great opportunity to transition from working in a water treatment plant/warehouse to working in different hospitals/clinics around the world teaching different softwares where I don't have to get myself super dirty or deal with the politics that come with working with a bunch of grumpy old men either. Once I turned 22, I made the jump and found myself getting paid 3-4x what I was back at my old job in a month span and it felt really good, being my age traveling the world all expenses paid, staying at different locations for 3-6 weeks working and experiencing new places and people have really opened my eyes on life and the true value behind it. It was also a big downfall for me since getting paid way more money just meant that I created more problems for myself. My finances were all over the place as I was spending more than I should've on my WANTS and barely focusing on my NEEDS. This found me in a lot of bad situations at different times, especially from the point when I switched careers, my roommate left me and I couldn't find no one to fill the apartment that could be trustworthy enough with my work scheduling and traveling so much, I felt like I was able to handle everything that came with this transition, so I took on the challenge of being independent to keep up with my image of a responsible young man to my peers but behind the scenes I was the opposite of that. A lot of my bills were late due to me just HATING paying for my needs and it was hard for me to understand that at the time because I was so focused on living in the moment with a mentality of "I'll figure it out whenever it happens" so fast forward to the beginning of last year, I get evicted from my apartment from nonpayment... A big eye opener for me as I felt like "that could never be me" and sure enough, it was. I was working as a contractor which means I didn't work all the time but when I did, it paid enough to where I didn't have to. If there was work that came up and I said no, then it was up to me which was my downfall, why would I say no to working if I claimed I wanted more money? I wish I could go back and fix things to be a different person and be disciplined enough to where all that money I made could've been used properly and turn lemons into lemonade, I have nothing to show for those lemons now.
Of course we know we can't change the past so now I feel like with that experience of being so low with nothing to show for it, I have a chip on my shoulder and extra motivation to never feel like that again. As of right now my current situation is me crashing at my brothers place on his couch while he lives with my two nephews and I have a great support system around me where in situations where I feel like I have no one, I can always rely on my family even though I don't like getting help from others, it's just part of my character but I am very grateful to have a support system like them. I still travel for work and get contracts but not as much as I used to. I really would love to get a full-time role so I can have job security rather than waiting around for work to be thrown my way but in today's economy the job market is really terrible. I've had the past 3 years of gaining experience within the Healthcare IT industry that I feel like I should be qualified enough for a lot of entry-level positions that are out there but once again, the job market is terrible so instead of just relying on just that one avenue, I would love to discover more and really focus on changing my life around to really be a better person and get out this shell of who I once was. I'm starting to see how easily distracted I can get with things that are apart of my daily life that provide no benefits to my life currently so I feel like it needs to be put on hold so I can become something. My biggest distractions at this moment are:

I'm starting to see how easily distracted I can get with things that are apart of my daily life that provide no benefits to my life currently so I feel like it needs to be put on hold so I can become something. My biggest distractions at this moment are:
- Friends: As much as I love them, I find myself being around them and conversing with them too much for my own good where I'm so worried about helping them and not myself. I need a break to be selfish
- Social Media: Probably the biggest thing for a lot of us young folks but you can't help it sometimes. I've got rid of my pages last year for a whole six months to really get me away from the "false reality" that others live on there and I think I'm ready to do it again if it means focus/concentration. I don't care much for it other than to keep up with current events or sports.
- Women: I find myself building different relationships with different women at different times but somehow it can never work the way I want it to because as a man who enjoys being a provider, how can I give my significant other the life I want when mine is all fucked up? I plan on taking a break from dating because it is selfish to be a burden to anyone.
- Gaming: Something that has been apart of me since I was young, I'm very talented but not talented enough to where I could be gaming professionally. I do feel like if I put more time into it then I could possibly find ways to make money from it whether it be streaming or content but if I'm not making money now then it can wait.
- Smoking: This one is not so big to me since I do smoke but I'm not someone who smokes by myself either, I enjoy smoking in social settings with my friends. It shouldn't be too hard to give up since I only find myself smoking in a group, I just need to stay away from it to allow myself to have a clear mind and build more discipline.
- What can I do to help me change?
- How can I turn words into actions?
- What can I do to stay focused on this new path?
- What books can I read to help me?
- Where should I look for different job opportunities with my experience?
- Any career suggestions you may have for me?
- Can you relate to my experience in any way? If so, how and what age were you when you went through it?
- What resources can I replace social media with to allow me to be informed/stay focused?
2024.05.29 00:01 fluffycloud69 help from people knowledgeable in enneagram, stuck between 6 and 9
when i take the basic enneagram test i get the result that i am a 9 with a 1 wing, but also high 5 and 2, and low 6 (i think it depends on the types of questions they ask, im not very paranoid or worried about physical security).
when i take the enneagram test with instinctual variants i got sp6 with a 5 wing. my next highest was so9, so4, sp5.
i am an INFJ using the mbti test and cognitive functions test. I have highly developed Ti and surprisingly good Te and lean on my tertiary Ti more than my secondary Fe (per cognitive functions test), i was raised by an INTJ and also scored about 60% F 40% T on the classic 16 personalities test. also i easily slip into a Ni-Ti loop and have a tendency to overthink and get stuck in my head a lot.
i understand there is some argument that an INFJ can't be e9, so there's confusion there too, which makes me wonder if i'm actually a 6, even though i really resonate with 9. I do have the INFJ low Se/Si, I’m definitely not a mistyped sensor because i have no situational awareness and am terrible at paying attention to my surroundings, tripping up the stairs, i feel stifled with too much routine, etc.
when researching the e9, i related heavily to the sloth, major avoidance, trouble and anxiety with decision-making, over-consumption/gluttony (food, drugs, “creature comforts”), numbing out, daydreaming/fantasizing, putting others before self in order to avoid focusing on myself (i am introspective but i really do not like myself and choose to ignore myself/my problems), wanting to avoid conflict and uncomfortable situations above everything else, people-pleasing, feeling detached from others and reality/life in general, optimistic nihilism (nothing matters so why not be happy, everything will work out somehow in the end and if it doesn't someday i'll die so it'll be fine, choosing to see the bright side because i'd rather be delusional and happy than grounded in reality and miserable. staying positive in order to survive), also i value peace above all else, and isolate myself to maintain it and avoid uncomfortable situations.
when researching the sp6 i related heavily to the warmth in order to avoid conflict, fear and anxiety (i have generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety diagnosed), wanting others to make decisions for me, feeling insecure in my own abilities and wanting someone to hold my hand/save me, massive amounts of guilt and constant self blame, fear of being controlled and distrusting authority, overthink, devalue self, except for paranoia, planning for crisis, and stinginess i didn't relate to at all. i have never had a lack mindset and if anything i'm overly accommodating to the point i give too much and screw myself. also i don't really fear losing relationships-i have been known to ghost people and door slam those i deem "unsafe" —but i do fear being abandoned because it makes me feel like something is wrong with me.
i'm not a mentally healthy individual. i'm anxious, depressed, majorly avoidant, a maladaptive daydreamer, have child of origin issues and past trauma. i'm okay tho.
my partner is a true 6w7 INTJ and i really feel like i’m a 9w1 because the massive differences between our mindsets. he is paranoid and distrustful of everyone, always says i’m overly naive and optimistic, i can’t sense danger, have no survival instincts (low se). we’ve had theoretical discussions about if we end up rich someday i’d want to donate a bunch to give back and he would want to experience everything for himself (bucket list) before he gives back at all.
but how can i be a 9w1 if im an INFJ?
thanks for reading if you got this far, any advice as to how to figure out which one is much appreciated! also i could be a 4 or 5 based on my scores, i haven’t looked into those as much cause they didn’t resonate right away.

2024.05.28 23:39 Smexy_Zarow I wish I had my own endless cave to just explore forever and leave everything behind.
I haven't spoken to friends beeides one checkup DM in like 28 days.
Everyone says no one's perfect, don't get jealous over others, they're just trying to look perfect while hiding their flaws.
Then when you end up meeting someone who actually has the perfect body, personality, social circle, hobbies, family, there's no reason to not feel shit anymore.
I'm fucking terrified of facing anyone my age and hearing them talk about their relationships, hangouts, interactions, and anything else that i can't fucking have, cause it's all so normal to them, like u meet someone, fuck the same night, hang out with friends the next day and talk about it, probably at some nice place like a shopping centre or amusement place.
If I didn't have GAD before I feel like I've developed it now. And my psychiatrist doesn't believe I have depression cause the depression sheet compared the last 4 days to my norm.. so if I've already been like this for fucking 5 years, I'm perfectly normal I fucking guess..
Being alone is so fucking draining, being with people is so fucking draining. Thinking about being with people is so fucking draining. I'm too insecure to be around people, I want to be alone, but it fucking sucks.
I can't imagine myself hanging out with anyone, without it being broken up out of boredom after an hour. I barely have the energy to even write these thoughts now. This past week was the laziest I've felt in a real long time.
Everything I feel is ambivalent, it's so annoying. I had like a year or more since I've last felt suicidal. I don't wanna say I feel it again, but honestly.. what else can I really think about that isn't the past..
should I crash head-on into the support pillar from the bridge crossing the highway, or press down the razors I always carry even though it's been a month since I quit, into my arms, or better yet, press then pull on the side of my neck.. maybe just throw myself off the sidewalk so a passing bus rolls it's tire over my head and I end up on a live leak security camera clip. I don't believe decapitation is instant death. I'm curious though, imagine those 5 seconds when you can't feel anything below your neck, and can't scream.
Why do I miss being beat as a kid? Why do I keep reminiscing? Probably cause I'm not forming any new memories, being alone at home, and avoiding others at school.
I should be buried alive. Maybe I'd get my shit together in my final 10 seconds, and then regret it as it's too late, I deserve however that'd make me feel. I'm such a fucking spineless, indecisive, lazy, weak, ugly, self-pitying, son of 2 idiots who had too much at a new year's.

2024.05.28 22:47 mohamedwafa Chapter 1 of my first ever novel
Chapter 1
Scene 1
Sunlight streamed through the windows of my modern apartment as I meticulously folded clothes and packed my bags, the anticipation of an upcoming trip tingling in the air. The day seemed ordinary enough until the doorbell shattered the tranquility.
Startled, I hurried to answer it, only to find Elena bursting into the house with her usual exuberance. She was a whirlwind of energy, her long chestnut hair tied back in a messy ponytail, her bright blue eyes sparkling with excitement. Her olive skin glowed with vitality, and her infectious smile lit up the room.
"Peter, what took you so long to answer?" she exclaimed, her voice carrying a mix of impatience and amusement as she took in the array of luggage before me.
I shrugged, avoiding her gaze. "Just packing for a trip."
Elena scoffed, her voice laced with sarcasm. "Immigrating, are we?" She scanned the room before turning her attention back to me. "Seriously, though, what's with all the luggage?"
I chuckled at her bluntness. "You know me, always overpacking."
She rolled her eyes, reaching for her phone and cranking up the volume on her favorite song. The heavy riff of "Passenger" by Deftones filled the room, adding a pulsating rhythm to our conversation.
Taking a seat at the cluttered kitchen table, Elena flashed me a mischievous grin. "I came to hang out with my friend. Is that a crime?"
I raised an eyebrow, eyeing her suspiciously.
Elena's laughter filled the room, unapologetic. "Okay, you caught me. I need your help." Despite my curiosity, apprehension flickered, yet her sparkling eyes drew me in. "Come on, Peter," she urged. "I promise it'll be worth your while."
"What do you need me for?" I asked, unable to resist her infectious enthusiasm.
Elena's brows furrowed, and she leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I was hired by a family in Silverlake to find their missing daughter, Emily. She disappeared without a trace, and I've been investigating this case for weeks. But I have zero leads."
I frowned. "And you think I can help?"
Elena nodded eagerly. "You're one of the best investigative journalists I know, Peter. Your skills are exactly what we need to crack this case wide open."
"I promised my mom I'd spend a vacation with her. I leave in 2 days. I'm sorry, I cannot help you," I said firmly, my resolve wavering in the face of Elena's determination.
"In 2 DAYS AND YOU'RE PACKING FROM NOW?!" Elena exclaimed incredulously.
"Well, I've got to be well prepared," I defended with a shrug, trying to downplay the urgency of the situation.
"This will be over in less than 2 days. All I need from you is to help me identify her last known location when she disappeared and any digital data you could find linked to her disappearance. Do that for me, and you can continue with your plan," Elena bargained, her eyes pleading with urgency.
I hesitated, torn between my obligations to my family and the pressing need to help Elena solve this mystery.
"Well, you could get that from CCTV cameras and her social media, what do you need me for?" I asked, raising my voice slightly to be heard over the blaring chorus of "Passenger."
The heavy guitars and pounding drums filled the room, drowning out Elena's next words as she searched my face for a response. "Well, don't you think I tried that?" she retorted, frustration evident in her voice. "I couldn't get access to CCTV footage, and her social media revealed nothing. I need a deeper search into the digital landscape, and you're the one I trust the most with this."
"One thing is never enough for you, though. You have a way of always pulling me with you, and I really need this. My mother needs me right now. I haven't seen her since the funeral, and I cannot let her down," I said, my voice cracking with emotion.
Elena's expression softened, her eyes reflecting understanding. She reached out and placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. "I get it, Peter. Family comes first. But think about it, helping me could bring closure to another family who's desperate for answers."
Her words struck a chord within me, igniting a sense of duty and purpose that I couldn't ignore.
Taking a deep breath, I nodded slowly.
I grabbed a notebook and a pen, my determination solidifying as I focused on the task at hand. "I'll do it for the girl's family."
A flicker of relief crossed Elena's face, her shoulders sagging slightly as she realized I was onboard. "Thank you, Peter," she said, her voice tinged with gratitude.
"The town of Silverlake, where Emily had disappeared, was 140 miles away. It was a daunting distance, but one that felt insignificant in the face of the urgency of the situation. Little did I know, Emily wasn't the only one missing. There was a series of disappearances in Silverlake that had gone unnoticed until now."
With a shared glance, Elena and I made an unspoken agreement. We would go to Silverlake, together, to start investigating immediately.
Scene 2
As Elena and I approached the reception desk, the polished tiles of the lobby floor echoed softly beneath our steps, carrying an air of anticipation. The lobby itself exuded a quiet elegance, bathed in the soft glow of the afternoon sunlight streaming through the expansive windows. A gentle hum of activity filled the space, punctuated by the occasional rustle of papers.
The receptionist, a woman with an air of indifference, glanced up from her notebook as we approached. Her eyes, cool and assessing, swept over us before settling on Elena with a hint of curiosity. "How can I help you, dear?" she asked, her voice monotone yet tinged with a subtle edge of detachment.
Elena, undeterred by the receptionist's demeanor, greeted her with a warm smile that illuminated her features. "We're in need of a room for my friend here," she said, gesturing towards me with a nod of her head. "He'll be staying with us."
The receptionist's expression remained unchanged as she reached for another key, her movements precise and methodical. Retrieving the key, she handed it to me with a detached air. "Room 204, second floor, fourth room on the right," she repeated mechanically, her attention already drifting back to her notebook as if our presence was of little consequence.
As I accepted the key, my gaze was drawn to a striking symbol adorning the wall beside the reception desk – the Eye of Horus. Etched in gold against a backdrop of deep blue, its intricate design seemed to watch over the lobby with an enigmatic presence, casting a subtle aura of mystery over the space.
"it's all over the place in here they believe it protects them from evil" Elena shrugged, noticing my gaze lingering on the Eye of Horus.
I nodded thoughtfully, intrigued by the symbolism woven into the fabric of the hotel. "Interesting," I murmured.
With the key in hand, I turned to follow Elena as she led the way towards the staircase, the soft echo of our footsteps mingling with the hushed whispers of the hotel's guests. As we ascended the stairs.
As Elena entered the room, she immediately shed her coat and rushed to the counter, grabbing her phone. Without pause, the familiar strains of Metallica's "Master of Puppets" filled the room, blasting at an ear-splitting volume.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes at Elena's predictable ritual.
"Okay, Mr. P, we have no time to waste," Elena declared over the blaring music, oblivious to my annoyance. "Grab your notebook and let's start with the case."
"Emily's disappearance was the initial focus of my investigation," Elena began, her eyes reflecting the seriousness of the matter. "According to her family, Emily was extremely close to her mother. Her life seemed to be on track, with a successful career in marketing and a new boyfriend. However, her parents didn't approve of her relationship with Matthew, citing him as a point of contention."
She paused, her gaze drifting as if searching for the right words to convey the complexity of the situation. "The police initially dismissed Emily's disappearance as a case of a young woman running away, especially since Matthew was also missing."
Elena's voice wavered slightly, betraying the weight of the uncertainty surrounding Emily's fate. "For a while, I entertained the possibility that Emily had indeed chosen to leave her life behind. But then, three days ago, another woman disappeared under similar circumstances."
"And where is Matthew?" I interjected, my mind grappling with the complexities of the case. "His friends and family filed a missing persons report on him as well. He disappeared one day before Emily. But there's no reason to think of him as a suspect, is there?"
Elena's expression darkened, mirroring the shadow of uncertainty that clouded my thoughts. "That's the perplexing part," she replied, her voice tinged with frustration. "All three people disappeared without a trace. One moment they were there, and the next... poof, disappeared as if they've been captured by ghosts."
Her words sent a chill down my spine, and I couldn't shake off the sense of foreboding that gripped me. It was as if we were peering into the abyss of the unknown, where answers remained elusive and danger lurked in the shadows.
As my mind raced, struggling to contain the torrent of thoughts swirling within, I sought desperately for patterns amidst the chaos. With furrowed brow, I turned to Elena, my voice trembling with urgency.
"Is there any connection between the third woman who disappeared and Emily or Matthew?" I inquired, grasping at straws in the hopes of unraveling the enigma before us.
Elena shook her head solemnly, her eyes reflecting the gravity of the situation. "No," she replied, her voice tinged with frustration. "The third woman is a 50-year-old, last seen exiting her workplace at the quaint bistro, La Petite Cuisine, and heading home."
The revelation sent a shiver down my spine, the realization sinking in that the disappearances were not isolated incidents but part of a larger, more sinister web of mystery. As I pondered the implications, a sense of unease settled over me, the unknown looming ominously on the horizon like a gathering storm.
"Listen, P," Elena's urgency resonated in her voice as she spoke, her words cutting through the tension in the room like a knife. "I acquired CCTV footage of Emily's last sighting, and that's what I need you for."
Without a moment's hesitation, she raced to retrieve her laptop, returning with it clutched tightly in her grasp. With a sense of urgency, she opened the device, revealing the footage of Emily walking down a seemingly ordinary square, her demeanor betraying no hint of the impending turmoil.
But then, like a sudden storm on a clear day, a police patrol car flashed across the screen, casting a shadow of doubt over the otherwise mundane scene. "That means the police have more information on Emily's last movements," I realized, a knot forming in the pit of my stomach.
In a voice tinged with frustration, Elena explained her futile attempts to obtain a statement from the police, leaving us stranded in a sea of uncertainty. It was a crucial piece of the puzzle that remained tantalizingly out of reach, teasing us with its elusiveness.
Turning to me with pleading eyes, Elena's hand reached out to grasp my arm, her wide eyes locking with mine in an unspoken plea. "I need you to secure an interview with the chief of police or any detective working the case," she implored, her voice soft but desperate. "You could still go on your awaited vacation with your mum afterward."
Her touch sparked a fire within me, "alright el I'll think of a plan but I need some rest first, maybe we could meet at the lobby after 2 hours?"
"Thank you, Peter, for real," Elena's gratitude washed over me, momentarily easing the weight of the task ahead. "Also, two hours sharp, don't be late, ey?"
I offered her a reassuring smile, my resolve firm. "I am always on time," I assured her, though a flicker of uncertainty danced behind my eyes.
"Yeah, right," Elena retorted sarcastically, her skepticism evident as she exited the room, leaving me alone with my thoughts.
As the door clicked shut behind her, a sense of apprehension settled over me like a heavy shroud. Contemplation mingled with reservation, and a hint of fear gnawed at the edges of my mind.
Scene 3
As Elena departed, I surveyed the room. It bore the marks of neglect, with faded wallpaper peeling at the edges and worn furniture showing signs of age. The bed, positioned against one wall, appeared tired and weathered, its mattress sagging in the middle and the sheets bearing wrinkles. Above the bed, an out-of-place symbol caught my attention once again - the Eye of Horus, its intricate design etched into a wooden plaque and mounted on the wall.
Feeling the weight of exhaustion settle upon me, I sank onto the bed, craving a moment of respite. Before I could even settle in, the insistent ring of my phone shattered the silence. With a resigned sigh, I reached for the device, noting the caller ID - it was my mother, FaceTiming me.
I answered her call, greeted by the warm glow of her smile radiating through the screen. Our exchange of greetings was laced with the gentle familiarity of mother and son.
"Hello, dear," she chimed, "So, you finally found some time to visit your old mum, did you? How kind of you."
I swallowed the lump in my throat, accustomed to the underlying reproach that often accompanied her affectionate words. "Yes, Mom," I replied, trying to mask the unease in my voice with forced cheerfulness. "I'm looking forward to spending some time with you."
Her smile widened. "Well, I'll believe it when I see it," she quipped, her words laden with a veiled challenge. "Don't keep me waiting too long now. You know how precious my time is."
"Are you calling me just to do that?" I interjected, a hint of frustration creeping into my voice.
Her brow furrowed in confusion. "Do what, dear?" she inquired innocently.
I hesitated, the words catching in my throat as I grappled with the swirling emotions inside me. "Never mind, Mom," I murmured, a wave of guilt washing over me for even entertaining the notion of confronting her.
But before I could retract my statement, her expression softened, and her voice took on a tone of vulnerability that caught me off guard. "Listen, Peter, I'm sorry," she began, her words tinged with a hint of sadness. "I just miss you. You don't call enough, and it feels like there's nothing for us to talk about. I just..."
Her voice trailed off, leaving the weight of her unspoken words hanging heavy in the air between us. In that moment, I felt a pang of sympathy for the woman on the other end of the line, grappling with her own insecurities and yearning for connection in the only way she knew how.
"I understand," I replied softly, feeling a surge of empathy. "I've been too caught up in my work, but that's why I decided to take this vacation. I've missed you too, Mom, and I really am looking forward to spending more time with you."
A genuine smile spread across my mother's face, her eyes lighting up with warmth and relief. "Oh, Peter, that's wonderful to hear!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine happiness. "I've missed you more than you know, dear. It's been too long since we've had a chance to catch up properly."
Before we could delve further into our conversation, my mother couldn't resist injecting a bit of her trademark humor. "Well, now that you're finally taking a break from work, maybe you'll have some time to find yourself a nice, not-at-all-crazy wife," she teased, a mischievous twinkle dancing in her eye.
Her playful jab elicited a hearty chuckle from me, knowing full well it was all in good fun. "We'll see, Mom," I replied with a laugh, shaking my head affectionately. "But for now, I think I'll focus on spending time with my favorite woman - you."
With a heartwarming laugh, my mother waved goodbye, her parting words carrying a hint of playful insistence. "Don't forget to keep your eyes open, Peter! You never know when Mrs. Right might come along," she quipped before ending the call, leaving me smiling at her enduring humor and unwavering love.
As she hung up, the old bed's worn embrace felt oddly inviting. I sank into its tired folds, finding unexpected comfort in its familiarity, and drifted into a well-deserved sleep.
scene 4
The sound of my alarm rang, and I half-opened my eyes, seeing only in black and white. I hit snooze and repeated the process five times until I finally woke up. I hoped Elena wouldn’t get mad at me for being late. The bed squeaked as I got up, and I hastily washed my face. As I turned on the water tap, I noticed water droplets leaking from the sides.
"Jeez, this place needs serious renovations," I muttered to myself.
I walked to the lobby, only to meet Elena.
"Hi, El," I said, bracing myself for Elena to scold me for my lateness.
"Hello, Peter," she replied in a low voice. She seemed to be staring at a void behind me, her face expressionless and still. I took a step closer to her.
"El, you okay? What's wrong?"
"Nothing, all is good. Uhm, weren't you supposed to leave for a trip to see your mom?"
"Well, yeah, in two days. I'll help you with this thi—" I began, confusion visible on my face, but Elena interrupted me. Her voice was firm, yet she avoided making eye contact.
"No, Peter, it's fine. I've thought about it, and I don't need your help anymore. You can go."
"I am not your toy, Elena. You can't just make me travel with you and then ask me to leave before I even get the chance to do anything," I snapped, my anger blinding me to the obvious. There was something Elena was hiding, and I needed to be calm to understand what was going on.
I tried to salvage the situation by apologizing and reassuring her that I was by her side, but it was too late. Elena's eyes welled up with tears. "I'm sorry, but please, Peter, leave. Go on your trip," she said, storming out of the lobby.
As she left, I noticed a necklace with the Eye of Horus dangling around her neck. Why does Elena wear this, and why is this place filled with an ancient Egyptian symbol? I froze, unsure of what to do. As I ran after Elena, desperation gnawed at my insides. She wasn't in front of the lobby anymore. I hopped into my car and started scouring the streets, telling myself she couldn't have gone too far.
I drove down every street, checked every alley, but Elena was nowhere to be found. Panic rose within me, and my breath quickened as I frantically tried to contact her, only to find her phone out of service.
Finally, I parked in front of an old bar. It was midnight by now, and the place was bustling with people. As I entered, I was greeted by a middle-aged man with a full beard. "Hey, newcomer, welcome to the Allure Bar," he slurred, his breath heavy with alcohol. He introduced himself as Michael Convivial, the owner of the bar, and offered me a shot on the house since it was my first time there.
"I didn't come here for the drinks," I said, the song 'What Am I to You' playing softly in the background. I showed him a photo of Elena, and he instantly recognized her, laughing as he muttered something I couldn't quite catch.
"That crazy girl who still hopes," he said, his speech slurred. He mentioned that he last saw her two days ago.
As I stepped out of the bar and headed towards my car, a ping from my phone startled me. It was a message from an unknown ID, accompanied by a chilling photo. In it, Elena lay unconscious, her Eye of Horus necklace smashed beside her. The caption sent shivers down my spine: "Listen to Elena, outsider. Get out of Silverlake and don't get involved in a fight you've got nothing to do with."
Dread washed over me as I stared at the image, my mind racing with questions.
As my fingers moved almost of their own accord, typing out a message, my mind raced with a mixture of fear and determination.
"I don't know who you are, but I will soon, and I will make you pay," I wrote, my fingers trembling slightly as I pressed send. "You've made it personal by kidnapping Elena, and I won't let you hurt her even more, you hear me?!"
Tears welled up in my eyes as I stared at the screen. I never knew I cared for Elena this deeply until this moment. The thought of her in danger filled me with a sense of fierce protectiveness, driving me to do whatever it takes to bring her back safely.

Scene 1
Sunlight streamed through the windows of my modern apartment as I meticulously folded clothes and packed my bags, the anticipation of an upcoming trip tingling in the air. The day seemed ordinary enough until the doorbell shattered the tranquility.
Startled, I hurried to answer it, only to find Elena bursting into the house with her usual exuberance. She was a whirlwind of energy, her long chestnut hair tied back in a messy ponytail, her bright blue eyes sparkling with excitement. Her olive skin glowed with vitality, and her infectious smile lit up the room.
"Peter, what took you so long to answer?" she exclaimed, her voice carrying a mix of impatience and amusement as she took in the array of luggage before me.
I shrugged, avoiding her gaze. "Just packing for a trip."
Elena scoffed, her voice laced with sarcasm. "Immigrating, are we?" She scanned the room before turning her attention back to me. "Seriously, though, what's with all the luggage?"
I chuckled at her bluntness. "You know me, always overpacking."
She rolled her eyes, reaching for her phone and cranking up the volume on her favorite song. The heavy riff of "Passenger" by Deftones filled the room, adding a pulsating rhythm to our conversation.
Taking a seat at the cluttered kitchen table, Elena flashed me a mischievous grin. "I came to hang out with my friend. Is that a crime?"
I raised an eyebrow, eyeing her suspiciously.
Elena's laughter filled the room, unapologetic. "Okay, you caught me. I need your help." Despite my curiosity, apprehension flickered, yet her sparkling eyes drew me in. "Come on, Peter," she urged. "I promise it'll be worth your while."
"What do you need me for?" I asked, unable to resist her infectious enthusiasm.
Elena's brows furrowed, and she leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I was hired by a family in Silverlake to find their missing daughter, Emily. She disappeared without a trace, and I've been investigating this case for weeks. But I have zero leads."
I frowned. "And you think I can help?"
Elena nodded eagerly. "You're one of the best investigative journalists I know, Peter. Your skills are exactly what we need to crack this case wide open."
"I promised my mom I'd spend a vacation with her. I leave in 2 days. I'm sorry, I cannot help you," I said firmly, my resolve wavering in the face of Elena's determination.
"In 2 DAYS AND YOU'RE PACKING FROM NOW?!" Elena exclaimed incredulously.
"Well, I've got to be well prepared," I defended with a shrug, trying to downplay the urgency of the situation.
"This will be over in less than 2 days. All I need from you is to help me identify her last known location when she disappeared and any digital data you could find linked to her disappearance. Do that for me, and you can continue with your plan," Elena bargained, her eyes pleading with urgency.
I hesitated, torn between my obligations to my family and the pressing need to help Elena solve this mystery.
"Well, you could get that from CCTV cameras and her social media, what do you need me for?" I asked, raising my voice slightly to be heard over the blaring chorus of "Passenger."
The heavy guitars and pounding drums filled the room, drowning out Elena's next words as she searched my face for a response. "Well, don't you think I tried that?" she retorted, frustration evident in her voice. "I couldn't get access to CCTV footage, and her social media revealed nothing. I need a deeper search into the digital landscape, and you're the one I trust the most with this."
"One thing is never enough for you, though. You have a way of always pulling me with you, and I really need this. My mother needs me right now. I haven't seen her since the funeral, and I cannot let her down," I said, my voice cracking with emotion.
Elena's expression softened, her eyes reflecting understanding. She reached out and placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. "I get it, Peter. Family comes first. But think about it, helping me could bring closure to another family who's desperate for answers."
Her words struck a chord within me, igniting a sense of duty and purpose that I couldn't ignore.
Taking a deep breath, I nodded slowly.
I grabbed a notebook and a pen, my determination solidifying as I focused on the task at hand. "I'll do it for the girl's family."
A flicker of relief crossed Elena's face, her shoulders sagging slightly as she realized I was onboard. "Thank you, Peter," she said, her voice tinged with gratitude.
"The town of Silverlake, where Emily had disappeared, was 140 miles away. It was a daunting distance, but one that felt insignificant in the face of the urgency of the situation. Little did I know, Emily wasn't the only one missing. There was a series of disappearances in Silverlake that had gone unnoticed until now."
With a shared glance, Elena and I made an unspoken agreement. We would go to Silverlake, together, to start investigating immediately.
Scene 2
As Elena and I approached the reception desk, the polished tiles of the lobby floor echoed softly beneath our steps, carrying an air of anticipation. The lobby itself exuded a quiet elegance, bathed in the soft glow of the afternoon sunlight streaming through the expansive windows. A gentle hum of activity filled the space, punctuated by the occasional rustle of papers.
The receptionist, a woman with an air of indifference, glanced up from her notebook as we approached. Her eyes, cool and assessing, swept over us before settling on Elena with a hint of curiosity. "How can I help you, dear?" she asked, her voice monotone yet tinged with a subtle edge of detachment.
Elena, undeterred by the receptionist's demeanor, greeted her with a warm smile that illuminated her features. "We're in need of a room for my friend here," she said, gesturing towards me with a nod of her head. "He'll be staying with us."
The receptionist's expression remained unchanged as she reached for another key, her movements precise and methodical. Retrieving the key, she handed it to me with a detached air. "Room 204, second floor, fourth room on the right," she repeated mechanically, her attention already drifting back to her notebook as if our presence was of little consequence.
As I accepted the key, my gaze was drawn to a striking symbol adorning the wall beside the reception desk – the Eye of Horus. Etched in gold against a backdrop of deep blue, its intricate design seemed to watch over the lobby with an enigmatic presence, casting a subtle aura of mystery over the space.
"it's all over the place in here they believe it protects them from evil" Elena shrugged, noticing my gaze lingering on the Eye of Horus.
I nodded thoughtfully, intrigued by the symbolism woven into the fabric of the hotel. "Interesting," I murmured.
With the key in hand, I turned to follow Elena as she led the way towards the staircase, the soft echo of our footsteps mingling with the hushed whispers of the hotel's guests. As we ascended the stairs.
As Elena entered the room, she immediately shed her coat and rushed to the counter, grabbing her phone. Without pause, the familiar strains of Metallica's "Master of Puppets" filled the room, blasting at an ear-splitting volume.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes at Elena's predictable ritual.
"Okay, Mr. P, we have no time to waste," Elena declared over the blaring music, oblivious to my annoyance. "Grab your notebook and let's start with the case."
"Emily's disappearance was the initial focus of my investigation," Elena began, her eyes reflecting the seriousness of the matter. "According to her family, Emily was extremely close to her mother. Her life seemed to be on track, with a successful career in marketing and a new boyfriend. However, her parents didn't approve of her relationship with Matthew, citing him as a point of contention."
She paused, her gaze drifting as if searching for the right words to convey the complexity of the situation. "The police initially dismissed Emily's disappearance as a case of a young woman running away, especially since Matthew was also missing."
Elena's voice wavered slightly, betraying the weight of the uncertainty surrounding Emily's fate. "For a while, I entertained the possibility that Emily had indeed chosen to leave her life behind. But then, three days ago, another woman disappeared under similar circumstances."
"And where is Matthew?" I interjected, my mind grappling with the complexities of the case. "His friends and family filed a missing persons report on him as well. He disappeared one day before Emily. But there's no reason to think of him as a suspect, is there?"
Elena's expression darkened, mirroring the shadow of uncertainty that clouded my thoughts. "That's the perplexing part," she replied, her voice tinged with frustration. "All three people disappeared without a trace. One moment they were there, and the next... poof, disappeared as if they've been captured by ghosts."
Her words sent a chill down my spine, and I couldn't shake off the sense of foreboding that gripped me. It was as if we were peering into the abyss of the unknown, where answers remained elusive and danger lurked in the shadows.
As my mind raced, struggling to contain the torrent of thoughts swirling within, I sought desperately for patterns amidst the chaos. With furrowed brow, I turned to Elena, my voice trembling with urgency.
"Is there any connection between the third woman who disappeared and Emily or Matthew?" I inquired, grasping at straws in the hopes of unraveling the enigma before us.
Elena shook her head solemnly, her eyes reflecting the gravity of the situation. "No," she replied, her voice tinged with frustration. "The third woman is a 50-year-old, last seen exiting her workplace at the quaint bistro, La Petite Cuisine, and heading home."
The revelation sent a shiver down my spine, the realization sinking in that the disappearances were not isolated incidents but part of a larger, more sinister web of mystery. As I pondered the implications, a sense of unease settled over me, the unknown looming ominously on the horizon like a gathering storm.
"Listen, P," Elena's urgency resonated in her voice as she spoke, her words cutting through the tension in the room like a knife. "I acquired CCTV footage of Emily's last sighting, and that's what I need you for."
Without a moment's hesitation, she raced to retrieve her laptop, returning with it clutched tightly in her grasp. With a sense of urgency, she opened the device, revealing the footage of Emily walking down a seemingly ordinary square, her demeanor betraying no hint of the impending turmoil.

2024.05.28 21:47 RZeigler Progress Centre Update: Their Successful First Event For Rural Democratic Candidates
Hi all,
If folks want to read the quick Progress Centre email follow up relating to their first event and a few other things, you can click here for it.
This was the first event that Progress Centre hosted and it was held at the Juniata Brewing Company on May 24th in the wonderful community of Huntingdon, a borough in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. This event was not only a fundraiser event for Sean Steeg, Democratic Candidate for the 81st District for PA House, but served as a place to build community and act as a meet and greet.
The event started off with greeting guests and collecting canned goods for the local food bank. Some folks brought items to be auctioned off (silent auction) to help raise more funds for Sean and his campaign. Approximately 40 people or so showed up to stay (about another dozen or so stopped by to drop something off or talk with Sean briefly to show support before leaving for the Memorial Day weekend). We also had music at the event with a nice break to plug the auction and have the man of the hour speak. Additionally, Democratic Candidate Beth Farnham (PA 13th Congressional District) showed her support for Sean and his campaign. She also stressed the importance of having people who do the work for communities and will protect reproductive rights.
Overall, it was good to see a blend of moderate Republicans (yes, only a couple but some are better than none), unaffiliated voters, progressive and moderate Democrats in a spot to support a candidate who supports everyday people. The event led to multiple bags of canned goods being donated to the local food bank, a rural Democratic candidate raising almost $2000 in a day, and some folks willing to volunteer and do the thankless work to help make a difference. And it was also great to see various groups such as the Huntingdon County Democrats and Franklin County Democrats support their candidate.
If you’re willing to help support Sean and his campaign, you can invest in his campaign here! You can also follow him on Facebook and Instagram (like and/or share his posts, the more interactions he gets, the more his stuff pops up for others).
If you’re want to support rural Democratic candidates and support the work they do to help up and down the ballot, then please invest in Progress Centre (ideally $15 a month), volunteer (however you prefer), or just sign up for their emails and forward the information to folks you think will support the cause. Progress Centre can also be found on Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter) so give them a follow, like and share their socials!
Progress Centre isn’t just about supporting candidates, it’s about supporting communities and building relationships to last a life time. It’s truly about creating and building positive change.
Thank you for reading and thank you all for the support you provide.

We also had music at the event with a nice break to plug the auction and have the man of the hour speak. Additionally, Democratic Candidate Beth Farnham (PA 13th Congressional District) showed her support for Sean and his campaign. She also stressed the importance of having people who do the work for communities and will protect reproductive rights.
Overall, it was good to see a blend of moderate Republicans (yes, only a couple but some are better than none), unaffiliated voters, progressive and moderate Democrats in a spot to support a candidate who supports everyday people. The event led to multiple bags of canned goods being donated to the local food bank, a rural Democratic candidate raising almost $2000 in a day, and some folks willing to volunteer and do the thankless work to help make a difference. And it was also great to see various groups such as the Huntingdon County Democrats and Franklin County Democrats support their candidate.
If you’re willing to help support Sean and his campaign, you can invest in his campaign here! You can also follow him on Facebook and Instagram (like and/or share his posts, the more interactions he gets, the more his stuff pops up for others).
If you’re want to support rural Democratic candidates and support the work they do to help up and down the ballot, then please invest in Progress Centre (ideally $15 a month), volunteer (however you prefer), or just sign up for their emails and forward the information to folks you think will support the cause. Progress Centre can also be found on Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter) so give them a follow, like and share their socials!
Progress Centre isn’t just about supporting candidates, it’s about supporting communities and building relationships to last a life time. It’s truly about creating and building positive change.
Thank you for reading and thank you all for the support you provide.

2024.05.28 20:23 random_dino11 I need advice on an aggressive roommate
We're both 37. We had an equitable agreement she has thrown out the window. We were grand until we moved and then a few months later (~summer 2023) she started acting out.
Everyday she wakes up angry and grumbling to herself. She'll slam doors & cabinets. She has thrown an oven mit at me, tossed a spoon past me into the sink yesterday, and this morning threw one of our night lights into the hallway.
She also acts as if she's the groundskeeper for our apt (a rundown POS). She has put in so many work orders, our landlord has told her to stop. She's been constantly harassing our building management. I've been sorta hoping her doing this gets us kicked out (I'd talk to them about not having an eviction on my record since this is all her doing).
Sometimes she'll be gone for a day or two. I work from home so I'm almost always home. So sometimes I have to deal with her bs while I'm working (our walls are thin). I'd go to a library or coffee shop. But it's a lot to drag around to set up, I work with sensitive info, and due to my cat's health conditions I have to feed her every two hours.
I've been saving to move into my own apt (without her). We had promised to give each other a 6 month notice. But I'm not sure if that'd be safe to do (so I haven't & won't). I'd talk to her about this, but she'll misunderstand me which will upset her, she'll throw her tantrum, and proceed to have an attitude with me all day.
Our lease is up in November. Depending on how she keeps acting, I might bail before then & pay out the remaining rent (she's on social security- majorly biting the hand that helps her out a lot).
Until I move out, what can I do?
Note: she was a drug addict and claims to be sober. But she's been moody since summer 2023. More recently she lost a lot of weight and has scabs on her arms & face. Some starting on her legs. She's changed her story too. First it was acne & sometimes it's bug bites. She claims we have fleas (we don't) and she's itchy a lot.

2024.05.28 19:57 Deep_Hospital_3632 Should I (39m) call it off with my long distance fiancée (32f)?
Posting from a throwaway.
I'm (39m) a teacher and I spent several years teaching English as a second language in SE Asia. I was the quintessential LBH. I suddenly found myself in situations where I was considered interesting, not irritating, and after living that and then having to come home, I think I got a microscopic taste of what it's like to go from a celebrity to a has been. It's hard to go from a life where people seek me out to be my friend and come back to a life where the only person who calls me on my birthday is my mom.
Which brings me to the woman (32) in my life, someone I'll call Sharen. (That's a bit of an iykyk joke for anyone who speaks Chinese. For the record, Sharen does not kill people, that I know of.) Sharen is someone I started casually dating while I was living near Shanghai. Long story short, after a string of setbacks I wound up moving back to the USA. As soon as I got here it was back to being a loser. I moved to a city where I only know a couple of people, and I spent a lot of time just endlessly swiping on Tinder or messaging endless people on Grindr. Very few people ever got back to me and 9/10 of them were scammers. After a few months of that, I realized I'd let a good thing go in China and I messaged Sharon on WeChat to see how she felt about coming to the USA.
I spoke with an immigration lawyer and was told that the cheapest and easiest way to be with Sharon in the USA would be to marry her. So I went for it and asked Sharon to marry me, and she said yes.
Now here's the tricky part. Sharon is a trans woman. That means that according to Chinese legislation, this would be a same sex marriage, which is not legal in China. I asked the lawyer about a K1 visa and she made it sound like it would be a difficult and expensive process and we would probably be denied. She reccomended we get married in a third country and then apply for a spousal visa. I cross referenced every country you can travel to from China without a visa, with countries that allow same sex marriage, and, more-or-less, the only one that came up was Ecuador.
Ecuador sounds nice. Decent human rights record. Cool wildlife. Sharen was worried. For reasons that I don't fully understand but suspect are related to the social media she consumes, she is convinced Ecuador is deporting and incarcerating a large number of Chinese people who go over there. So she has decided that she'd rather apply for a visa to go to another country. She applied for a visa to go to the UK and was denied because the travel agency she talked to straight up told her to lie and say she had a better job in China. She had to submit her bank records and that was the end of that. So now we're looking at France. She went to the French consulate in Shanghai and they told her she would have to make an appointment, and they were booked out for several months. There's also a consulate in Chengdu, and she could go there without an appointment. We talked about it and we agreed that a flight to and from Chengdu just really didn't make financial sense at a time when we're both trying to save as much as we can. Well, she changed her mind and went to Chengdu. I realize some of you might look at that like her not respecting the relationship or whatever but she can make her own decisions and if she can afford it I don't have a problem with it. So we're waiting to hear back on her visa application at the time that I write this.
Here's the thing. I'm getting cold feet. I really don't think we have that much in common, and I think she's really a catch, but that doesn't mean we are right for each other. A lot of people abroad see the USA through rose colored glasses and think that everyone here is rich and progressive. I mentioned to her about what Project 2025 would mean for GRSM people and she said 'Well, then Donald Trump certainly won't become president.' I've tried to explain to her that USA isn't a bastion of queer acceptance and I don't think she gets it. One thing she is really looking forward to is GAC. She saved for years to get bottom surgery. Her father got access to it and lost it all gambling. She can't access hormones and she takes birth control pills. I don't know how safe that is. It's easy to see how she thinks things will be better in the USA, but I don't think she is going to be able to get GAC as quickly or easily as she thinks.
Besides that, I just think we see the world in different ways and there's a love language barrier, if you will. I think she's being jejune about this whole thing and doesn't fully comprehend how incredibly challenging our marriage is going to be. My Chinese is pretty good but it's still difficult to communicate some of the more messy parts of life. She's going to have to learn to live in a completely different culture where she doesn't speak the language. So many of the things she's depended on in life are going to be difficult or impossible to obtain. And on a personal level, how is she going to feel at a family reunion where people want to be friendly toward her but don't know how? I haven't told my parents she's trans yet. She's asked me to keep it a secret and I respect that, but I can't help but feel like the longer we go without telling them the worse it's going to be when they find out.
And I try to talk to her about these things, but especially with her traveling lately, it seems like she never finds time. I'll try to start a conversation and I won't hear back from her for hours. When I do hear back, she changes the subject. I don't even think she knows she's doing it. She's never introduced me to any of her friends. She rarely tells me about when she has a tough day at work or what she thinks about life or anything. I feel like we haven't had an opportunity to open up to one another in months. I was unemployed until a few weeks ago, and she told me I should try to get a job as a cop. I tried to explain to her that 'Anarchists don't become police officers.' but she didn’t understand what I meant by that. I think she cares more about financial security and I care more about hippie bullshit like trying to make the world a better place. I don't blame her for being that way, but how can we be on the same team if we have such different goals in life?
On the one hand, I am willing to take the risk, as long as my postnup is iron clad. As long as I don't lose everything in a divorce, the worst thing that happens is I help someone get her life together in a country where she can be her authentic self. And I know this is a shitty reason to stay in a relationship, but I'm so tired of being alone, and the prospects of me finding anyone in the USA aren't promising. I’m at an age where going out and meeting people seems impossible. I’ve been in this city for two years now and I’ve made about two friends who I never see. Going from that to finding a perfect match seems so far away and I'm not getting any younger, and there's someone who loves me for who I am and it’s hard to say no to that. What's the worst thing that could happen from just going for it and seeing if we can't make it work?
Another thing that I think bears mentioning is that, at this point, it’s especially shitty to jilt her. She’s gone to the consulate. She’s applied for a visa. She’s making travel plans. She’s thinking about how she’s finally going to get where she wants to go in life. She’s borrowed money so we can make this work.
So what do I do? Do I give it the old college try even though I have giant reservations about it? Do I call it off and let her go back to a life that is unsatisfying and dangerous? I’m leaning toward going for it, but I don’t know that that’s the best idea. Thanks for reading and thanks for offering any advice.

2024.05.28 18:30 Deep_Hospital_3632 How can I proceed with my long distance relationship with my fiancée (39m, 32f)?
Posting from a sock.
I'm (39m) a teacher and I spent several years teaching English as a second language in SE Asia. I was the quintessential LBH. I suddenly found myself in situations where I was considered interesting, not irritating, and after living that and then having to come home, I think I got a microscopic taste of what it's like to go from a celebrity to a has been. It's hard to go from a life where people seek me out to be my friend and come back to a life where the only person who calls me on my birthday is my mom.
Which brings me to the woman (32) in my life, someone I'll call Sharen. (That's a bit of an iykyk joke for anyone who speaks Chinese. For the record, Sharen does not kill people, that I know of.) Sharen is someone I started casually dating while I was living near Shanghai. Long story short, after a string of setbacks I wound up moving back to the USA. As soon as I got here it was back to being a loser. I moved to a city where I only know a couple of people, and I spent a lot of time just endlessly swiping on Tinder or messaging endless people on Grindr. Very few people ever got back to me and 9/10 of them were scammers. After a few months of that, I realized I'd let a good thing go in China and I messaged Sharon on WeChat to see how she felt about coming to the USA.
I spoke with an immigration lawyer and was told that the cheapest and easiest way to be with Sharon in the USA would be to marry her. So I went for it and asked Sharon to marry me, and she said yes.
Now here's the tricky part. Sharon is a trans woman. That means that according to Chinese legislation, this would be a same sex marriage, which is not legal in China. I asked the lawyer about a K1 visa and she made it sound like it would be a difficult and expensive process and we would probably be denied. She reccomended we get married in a third country and then apply for a spousal visa. I cross referenced every country you can travel to from China without a visa, with countries that allow same sex marriage, and, more-or-less, the only one that came up was Ecuador.
Ecuador sounds nice. Decent human rights record. Cool wildlife. Sharen was worried. For reasons that I don't fully understand but suspect are related to the social media she consumes, she is convinced Ecuador is deporting and incarcerating a large number of Chinese people who go over there. So she has decided that she'd rather apply for a visa to go to another country. She applied for a visa to go to the UK and was denied because the travel agency she talked to straight up told her to lie and say she had a better job in China. She had to submit her bank records and that was the end of that. So now we're looking at France. She went to the French consulate in Shanghai and they told her she would have to make an appointment, and they were booked out for several months. There's also a consulate in Chengdu, and she could go there without an appointment. We talked about it and we agreed that a flight to and from Chengdu just really didn't make financial sense at a time when we're both trying to save as much as we can. Well, she changed her mind and went to Chengdu. I realize some of you might look at that like her not respecting the relationship or whatever but she can make her own decisions and if she can afford it I don't have a problem with it. So we're waiting to hear back on her visa application at the time that I write this.
Here's the thing. I'm getting cold feet. I really don't think we have that much in common, and I think she's really a catch, but that doesn't mean we are right for each other. A lot of people abroad see the USA through rose colored glasses and think that everyone here is rich and progressive. I mentioned to her about what Project 2025 would mean for GRSM people and she said 'Well, then Donald Trump certainly won't become president.' I've tried to explain to her that USA isn't a bastion of queer acceptance and I don't think she gets it. One thing she is really looking forward to is GAC. She saved for years to get bottom surgery. Her father got access to it and lost it all gambling. She can't access hormones and she takes birth control pills. I don't know how safe that is. It's easy to see how she thinks things will be better in the USA, but I don't think she is going to be able to get GAC as quickly or easily as she thinks.
Besides that, I just think we see the world in different ways and there's a love language barrier, if you will. I think she's being jejune about this whole thing and doesn't fully comprehend how incredibly challenging our marriage is going to be. My Chinese is pretty good but it's still difficult to communicate some of the more messy parts of life. She's going to have to learn to live in a completely different culture where she doesn't speak the language. So many of the things she's depended on in life are going to be difficult or impossible to obtain. And on a personal level, how is she going to feel at a family reunion where people want to be friendly toward her but don't know how? I haven't told my parents she's trans yet. She's asked me to keep it a secret and I respect that, but I can't help but feel like the longer we go without telling them the worse it's going to be when they find out.
And I try to talk to her about these things, but especially with her traveling lately, it seems like she never finds time. I'll try to start a conversation and I won't hear back from her for hours. When I do hear back, she changes the subject. I don't even think she knows she's doing it. She's never introduced me to any of her friends. She rarely tells me about when she has a tough day at work or what she thinks about life or anything. I feel like we haven't had an opportunity to open up to one another in months. I was unemployed until a few weeks ago, and she told me I should try to get a job as a cop. I tried to explain to her that 'Anarchists don't become police officers.' but she didn’t understand what I meant by that. I think she cares more about financial security and I care more about hippie bullshit like trying to make the world a better place. I don't blame her for being that way, but how can we be on the same team if we have such different goals in life?
On the one hand, I am willing to take the risk, as long as my postnup is iron clad. As long as I don't lose everything in a divorce, the worst thing that happens is I help someone get her life together in a country where she can be her authentic self. And I know this is a shitty reason to stay in a relationship, but I'm so tired of being alone, and the prospects of me finding anyone in the USA aren't promising. I’m at an age where going out and meeting people seems impossible. I’ve been in this city for two years now and I’ve made about two friends who I never see. Going from that to finding a perfect match seems so far away and I'm not getting any younger, and there's someone who loves me for who I am and it’s hard to say no to that. What's the worst thing that could happen from just going for it and seeing if we can't make it work?
Another thing that I think bears mentioning is that, at this point, it’s especially shitty to jilt her. She’s gone to the consulate. She’s applied for a visa. She’s making travel plans. She’s thinking about how she’s finally going to get where she wants to go in life. She’s borrowed money so we can make this work.
So what do I do? Do I give it the old college try even though I have giant reservations about it? Do I call it off and let her go back to a life that is unsatisfying and dangerous? I’m leaning toward going for it, but I don’t know that that’s the best idea. Thanks for reading and thanks for offering any advice.

2024.05.28 18:25 r-we-thr-yt How to make it? Career change, burnout, foolish ideas
Advice feels so incredibly impractical sometimes.
Get a 2nd, 3rd job, change careers, donate plasma, door dash!
I’m exhausted and my doctor wants me to slow down and reduce stress and increase rest. My systems (digestive, immune, mental health, hormones, thyroid) are all starting to get haywire, and I need rest and rebuild before I can live a nose-to-grindstone life. I would like to avoid having these issues turn full-blown. Stress and lack of time for healthy habits is a massive trigger.
I want to change careers! I make $20/hr now with few benefits and little room for growth. But I’ll need to work full-time while career-changing. But, see above point... I’m tired! A second job, on top of a full-time job, on top of grad school, on top of doing everything myself to save money (meal prepping, fixing things). AM I NOT SUPPOSED TO EVER SLEEP?
I had picked out a very affordable and skill-oriented grad program, but recent data shows a steep drop in hiring in these fields in the past 2 years (tech writing, ux design, related stuff etc). I’m very cautious about picking a career change at this age (mid 30s) as there is much less room for error. Feels unwise now to try and get into these fields, although I think they'd be a good match. But I do not have the brain to be a statistician, nor do I want to be a nurse, or home health aide lol. Call me crazy, but working shit jobs has caused so much stress that it is very iMpOrTaNt to me to build a career that fits better with my personality and natural skill set. This way I can actually build up some earnings!
I don’t know where to get money to do any of this. I was going to use some 401k but I know 99% of advice says this is objectively terrible to do. I am so out of steam I just can’t burn the candle at both ends for years on end. I will die. This isn’t said to be dramatic. I’m just that tired and not sure how to create enough of what I hope to get out of life. Working for pennies and living in a shit apartment for the next 30 years without even enough to afford a cat for some company is just totally existentially depressing to me.
I’m desperate enough to not really care what too many people say. I have sort of resigned to retirement likely being out-of-reach, so I guess I’m “okay” with running out of money by 60 and then suiciding. But fees/taxes on 401k means it will just drain so fast, and if I haven’t created a career that can pay the bill by then... yikes. I just don’t want to to be 45 and further broke(n).
Does anyone have useable advice?
It's such a beautiful world in so many ways and I'd love to figure out how to partake in it. Yes, I'm already in therapy :)

- So if not that, I don’t know what field to get in to, and I want to have joy in my life as much as I also want enough financial security to eat more than rice and beans.
- I need money to take care of my life. I haven’t been able to take care of things or myself as there is never any extra, and over time that catches up to you. I am running out of steam.
- I planned to take out of an old 401k to help get on my feet. Everything online screams not to do it. And I get that. But I am at a breaking point mentally, physically, emotionally.
- I need to take care of health things and have a small amount of time to not overdo it. I need to build confidence and get on my feet. I need money to do some of these things.
- I have researched taking a 401k loan. Not sure that I’d even qualify. And even if I did... my concern would be paying it back. Rent is so expensive and wages are so low in so many fields, ofc esp entry-level (as a career-changer) -> I don’t know how I’d pay it back. I feel after changing careers, for awhile, I’d be lucky to afford rent and basic bills.
- I have a bachelor’s in a field I don’t have it in me to continue working in (social services). It’s a terrible fit for me and I desperately want to be in a different field.

2024.05.28 17:19 ThisJourneyIsMid_ Help me create a neighborhood in the Old Combat Zone (please)
My last campaign just went down in flames (rip), and I was thinking of doing something different for the next one. I want to create a neighborhood in the Old Combat Zone, and basically just have a local, open-ended sandbox, without having any specific plot from my side (the GM's side, that is). I'd populate the neighborhood, let my players know what's there, and taking a leaf out of the original West Marches, just ask them what they want to do next.
I'm planning on letting them have a dilapidated building without needing to pay rent. I'd thought of that before I'd seen u/almondbreath's article on squatting, which only reinforced the idea more. (That doesn't mean they won't have to defend it, deal with intruders and squatters, etc.) I'm leaning towards also allowing players to create multiple characters, but only play one in any given session, allowing them to customize a team better for whatever task they're facing. (We're a small group.)
I'm trying to think of what I need to do for this. Having an overhead street map of the neighborhood seems necessary to me, which is a little bit problematic, since I'm having a bit of paralysis on it. (How long are city blocks? Would that hold true in 2045 Night City? etc)
I think I'd also need to prepare my own (non-canon) primer on the Old Combat Zone - we've got descriptions in the 2020 material, and we can see what Vista del Ray looks like in '77, but we have very little to go on in 2045. I've got a direction here, I think.
Lastly, and perhaps most obviously, I need to populate the neighborhood with events/factions/services that the group can interact with. I prefer thinking of events/factions/services than people - part of the style I'm going for here is lighter on the social interaction part, more focused on encounter-style gameplay as opposed to intrigue. Here's what I figure needs to be there so far:
The only two things I have notice in canon as being present in the Old Combat Zone are Jesse James's Kosher Deli (core 313) and the NC Ionic Semiconductor Building, a cargo container community (Cargo Containers and Cube Hotels DLC 4). If you've caught any others, please lmk, and same if you have other interesting flavor ideas.
Corpo Dungeons: I mentioned developing the history of the area from 2020-2045 (and using '77 as a bit of reference for the trajectory). One thing I'm thinking (and have seen echoed in others posts about the Combat Zone) is that corps probably loved doing off-the-books stuff in the Combat Zone, kind of like their site for dark ops and experiments. The lawlessness likely made it an incredible place to do things like research that completely violates even the most lenient readings of the Geneva Convention. I assume that a bunch of these have been abandoned and destroyed during or in the wake of the 4th Corporate War, but also plan on having some of them being known "haunted houses" in the reason - everyone knows not to go into that half-collapsed warehouse, a few times a year some group of gonk edgerunners try, and none ever come back out. These will be similar to dungeon crawls. All manner of random horrors walking around, and some good treasure too. Arasaka is a good target corp for this, ofc.
Underground: Sewer tunnels and ofc all kinds of partially-flooded abandoned NCART tunnels make for some really awesome setting. Refugees have likely moved down here too, perhaps thinking they can avoid the violence above (rent free). ofc, there is also violence down here, Bozos and who knows what else. There are probably entrances to some dungeons too.
I think that's all I've got for now. fwiw, I feel like the most important q here is street maps, since I feel like it would be a big part of building the neighborhood, and I feel the most lost on it. (I don't just want a grid of rectangular boxes with me guessing how long/wide they should be and how big the stuff that goes in them should be.) Thanks for reading this far, chooms.

Here's what I figure needs to be there so far:
- Clinic (somewhere to heal up)
- Fix-it shop run by some Techs (fix gear)
- Fixer (get missions/gear, make connections)
- Gang bases (along with figuring out who's there, I'm currently toying with Maelstrom, Reckoners, and RCL having visible presences, and Scavengers too, if they count as a gang, though not all need to be in this neighborhood), oh right, I'm thinking about a particularly insane family of Prime-Time Players, maybe Jack Nicholson and Nicholas Cage posers, that have been kinda exiled there, and are basically B- horror movie antagonists, happy for better ideas
- Corpo Dungeons (I'll explain this below)
- Sewer Layer (I assume there is a bunch going on in the tunnels and sewers, I'll write some on this too, and don't forget that both the core book and the mission in DGD hint that the Bozos make heavy use of the sewetunnel system)
- Nomads and construction sites (I assume they're contracted by corps to build stuff and handle their own security)
- Refugee camps

2024.05.28 17:12 Jasz_Tran What should I do if the police arrested me under the wrong name and social security number?
I am nineteen, transgender, and live in Las Vegas NV. I have been homeless on and off since I turned 18, and caught a misdemeanor charge of trespassing since. I recently got arrested for getting 4 citations for trespassing sitting in the shade next to a store. I was asked to provide an ID, but had none. I ended up giving the police my social and full name. Now might be a good time to mention I also have a twin sister. I’ve had my name and gender changed on my birth certificate through court mandated since I was around 15. I’ve even got it on my SSC and when I did have an ID, it said my new name as well. The police ended up arresting me under my old name and a social security number one digit off from the one on my SSC.
I have court in a couple weeks and I don’t know how to fix it. The police dismissed me in jail, and wouldn’t let me explain. Like what if they charged someone else? I also know me and my sister constantly have one digit differences in most things, but I don’t know her social. Any advice?

2024.05.28 16:50 Whismar No UI visible, and about 1 frame every 5 seconds
After not playing the game for a while, ive come back and installed some mods, now when loaded into a save, all ui except for the toggles in the bottom right are invisible, and hotkeys for them dont work, I can move the camera either. Has anyone had this issue, and does anyone know what mod could be causing this. Many thanks in advance.

The intricate details on this 4-barrel pistol bring it to life, transporting you back to the Civil War era, and even beyond. The 7.5-inch barrel, with its octagonal design, has a timeless charm that's impossible to ignore. The solid frame exudes confidence and strength, much like the times it was used. At 13 inches in total length and a weight of 2.3 lbs. , it's a well-balanced sidearm for gun enthusiasts. However, there are a few areas that might require attention. Some users have reported loose moving parts and issues with the plating, which could affect its overall durability.

Despite these setbacks, the M1851 Navy Revolver remains a coveted collectible. With the right care, it could become a prized possession, adding an element of history to your collection. 🔗Denix 22 Magnum Miniature Revolver for Displayhttps://preview.redd.it/slepo4vw053d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d47965ee8f2c682e003205568e2365dcc179ecef I recently came across the Denix Miniature Western Revolver, and I must say it's a sight to behold. This little gem perfectly captures the intricate details of a real 1873 single-action six-shooter. From the antiqued gray finish to the simulated wood handle, every aspect of this miniature replica makes it a stunner. One of the most pleasant surprises was the smooth action, just like the original gun. It operates flawlessly and is a true testament to the craftsmanship that goes into making these marvels. However, this adorable little collector's piece isn't designed for playtime, especially not by young, curious kids. It's more of a display item, meant to grace shelves or cabinet shelves with the genuine feel of a real, historical weapon. With all these features in place, it's clear that the Denix Miniature Western Revolver isn't just a toy; it's a work of art. Yet, it doesn't quite pack the power or the heft of the real thing, which can both be seen and felt. It's a perfect balance of form and function, a captivating collector's piece that's a delight to observe and handle. So, if you're looking for an authentic replica with the spirit of the Wild West, you might just find your heart's content right here with this delightful little Denix Miniature Western Revolver. 🔗Western Style Navy 22 Magnum Revolver Display with Engravingshttps://preview.redd.it/cc9te48x053d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77fc7177d5864e14eb845f0821787616753cbd70 I recently had the chance to use the Pacific Solution US Decorative Western Style Navy Revolver Display as a unique addition to my home decor. First off, the steel construction of the revolver truly adds a sturdy and timeless feel to it. I particularly appreciated the intricate engravings on its body, trigger, and hammer, giving it a genuine Western look. Using this display in my home was a breeze, thanks to its compact dimensions of 15.0 x 6.0 x 2.6 inches and lightweight build of 1.7 pounds. I also found the included stand to be a great accessory, allowing me to showcase the revolver with style and ease. The only downside I encountered was the lack of specifications about the size and weight of the bullet chamber, which I feel might be relevant information for some potential buyers. Overall, the Pacific Solution US Decorative Western Style Navy Revolver Display made for an impressive addition to my decor, and I'd recommend it for anyone looking to add a touch of Western flair to their space. 🔗Nickel Finish Smith and Wesson 1869 Army Revolver Replicahttps://preview.redd.it/u7coy3kx053d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eee491825f9b99e2570fd7fa229e55b50b510358 As someone who's always been fascinated by the era of the Old West, I couldn't resist trying out this non-firing replica of the 1869 Army Revolver. Featuring a sleek nickel silver finish, this replica brought me back to the iconic "Cowboy" days. Handling the replica felt like holding a piece of history, with the original's "single action" and "top break" mechanisms. It even had the added bonus of being a non-firing model, which meant I didn't have to worry about accidentally accidentally discharging it. However, the size and weight of the replica were a bit more challenging to deal with, given that it's a faithful replica of the original. Despite this, I appreciated the fact that it gave me a better understanding of the real gun without the need to purchase one. All in all, the Denix 1869 Army Revolver replica is a solid choice for anyone looking to step into the boots of a "Cowboy" in the Old West. Just be prepared to handle its size and weight! 🔗Authentic 1860 Civil War Revolver Replica for Display and Roleplayhttps://preview.redd.it/3ogbeksx053d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af7b076d04020c122c20c423e6bcafb86f50c263 This Denix replica of the Civil War M1860 Revolver has been a fascinating addition to my collection. It's a fun and affordable way to appreciate the rich history of firearms while staying in compliance with safety regulations. The nickel finish metal construction with wood grips is a lovely touch, not to mention the realistic weight that really helps complete the illusion. With its simulated mechanism of firing and loading, it's like handling the genuine article - just without the risk of accidentally discharging it. However, there's one thing I wish they had addressed. The replica does make a bit of noise and rattle when shaken, which can be a bit bothersome. Overall, I've found this non-firing replica to be a thrilling and authentic-feeling prop that any history or firearms enthusiast would enjoy.

2024.05.28 10:18 linebtw [PubQ] Is 30k+ followers on Social Media Truly Crucial for Getting Published?
Hey everyone,
I recently spoke with a published author (she's an artist and published an art book) who shared that her agent wouldn't even approach publishers until she had at least 30k followers on Instagram. She mentioned that for writers, the target would have been 30k followers on Twitter. This was back in 2020, right before the pandemic hit.
I get that having a large following on social media can help secure book deals, but has it really come to the point where publishers won't even consider you without hitting that minimum follower count?
If that's the case, how do you build such a following as an unknown, unpublished writer? Posting images on Instagram of excerpts out of context doesn’t seem very engaging. It also seems unlikely that people would take writing advice from someone who hasn't been published. Does that leave us with TikToks participating in random booktok trends? Even then, 30k sounds really difficult.
The conversation has left me somewhat deflated. I'd appreciate any advice or insights on this because if all of that is true, I better start becoming an influencer before querying. 😅
Edit: I should mention I write fiction, specifically fantasy.

2024.05.28 10:15 PuzzleheadedHeart351 My Life story (basically)
Im 17, and I just am not good at communication skills and I also overthink about what I will say in response and end up saying nothing. Ever since I was young, I was the quiet one who kind of just did my own thing but I did hang out with people I knew and enjoyed it. But, after 11 or so I played video games all the time. I’m not fat, chubby, or skinny I just was average, in shape, and also played sports. Id say i’m near the middle of the chain of popularity in my highschool where I’m friends from below and above me.
Anyways, I came on here to talk about a real issue i’ve run into and I want to share my opinion because I know some others will resonate or have feedback, etc. I still play video games all the time and it takes up most, if not all my time i’m awake. Playing games gives me a sense of security and it diverts my attention away from my lack of hanging out with people, not overthinking, and in general lack of doing much. But, people have figured out that I don’t do much outside of school and are making jokes to me about it and how I don’t hang out with people, etc. Its not that I don’t want to hang out with people I know, it’s that I am always the one who barely talks, or barely starts a conversation, or has fun, but doesn’t interact much. And I think I chalk it up to social anxiety, but I think i just have poor communication skills. The problem that I know is social anxiety, is whenever I say something or want to say something, I think about all the possible bad outcomes that make me don’t say it and keep my mouth shut.
But it really hit me when my older brother, who shares the same room with me, are in an argument and he says that “I have no social life, and I just play games all day everyday” and what really hit me “get a life.” I didn’t know that’s how he felt behind that mask that I didn’t know he had. I think about it all the time and the only thing that keeps me from thinking about it is Video Games because it basically escape from realities problems. I have friends online that I hang out with everyday i’m on so it’s not like i’m by myself all the time. I just don’t have a social life outside from my computer and xbox, etc.
I just wanted to share my thoughts and how my experiences are and hope you guys understand.
