i swear to god this sub is still on, but people forgot about its existence (༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ)-
2014.12.19 08:01 Don't text your ex, post here instead!
Sometimes, the hardest part of a break up is losing that person you can share anything with. Did you see or hear something funny and you want to tell someone? Did you try a new food or drink that you thought your ex would enjoy? Did you accidentally do something that reminded you of them? It's awful losing that. Even if you've never had it - if you want to share a part of your day that you can't really tell anyone else, this is the place!

Just because you're hungry doesn't mean you're really hungry.
Fighting not to starve, and by continuing to seek, it will only make sense.
-Kain R. Heinlein
Once upon a time, there were men who risked everything in battle...
"One burns with revenge, while the other harbors ambitions..." Justice didn't matter to them. However, he put his beliefs into his fist and fought...and settled himself.
It's an old story now... Ten years had passed since then.
Ever since the invitation arrived, the boy had been lost.
・・・・・・・・King of Fighters.
A martial arts festival that brings together martial artists from all over the world. However, it has not been held since the organizer, Geese Howard, died mysteriously.
・・・・・・・・Why is that?
The boy read the letter again.
"Maximum Mayhem King of Fighters"
Notice of holding
We have decided to hold "King of Fighters" for the first time in 10 years. I would like you, the former winner, to participate as the defending champion.
Also, I would like to ask you to bring Mr. Howard with you. I've heard rumors of Rock's strength, so if you participate, there's no doubt that you'll have a blast.

"Maximum Mayhem King of Fighters"
About Rock's mother... I'll just say that for now.
I will tell you all the details when I win.
I look forward to hearing from you.
-Heinlein family butler, Arnold Sebastian
When the boy finished reading the letter, he closed his eyes again. And after a few seconds, he opened his eyes with a determined look, and he said to the man who was getting ready to go.
"Okay......I've decided."
"Yes, what are you going to do?"
The boy got up from his chair and answered.
"Oh, two tickets to Second South, Terry."
"These two had an immeasurable deep bond..."
Going back, 19 years ago. When Kain was still in the slums, he had a man he could call his best friend.
The man's name is Abel
Ever since they met each other as orphans they have come to understand each other.
One day, Kain and Abel witnessed a boy of the same age being lynched.
It was clear from their words and deeds that the attackers were a group of thugs who were famous for their viciousness in the slums.
Even so, the boy continued to be beaten without resistance. He knew if he resists, they would beat more... He had no choice but to endure.
However, the sound of creaking flesh echoed through the city dozens of times, and when the thugs finally left, the boy had already died...
After several hours·····. Kain and Abel generously buried the boy on a hill overlooking the sea.
The two of them were looking out at the sea. After a while, Kain turned to Abel.
"...I...don't like it. To rot in a place like this without fighting...I don't like it!"
"Kain... you?"
"Someday I'll get out of here. And I'll take everything! Then come with me! Abel!"
Abel was silent for a moment, but he soon turned to Kain as if he had made up his mind.
"...Okay, I understand. I don't want to die here either. If you want to push forward, I will push forward too. ”
“That’s right! We won’t die in a place like this!... I can't stand to die! ”
Kain clenched his fist... and further strengthened his resolve.
"I want power... power to have it all... and for that, I need your help, Abel!"
"... OK, Kain. I'll help you. If you're on the front, I'll be on the back..."
The evening sun casts its shadows on the ground. The two shadows were tight, holding hands.
Grant
Grant's true identity is Kain's best friend since childhood, Abel Cameron.
The ambition he dreamed of with Kain when he was a child... In order to embody true freedom in the Second South, he volunteered to assist Kain behind the scenes. Despite his dangerous backroom job, Abel's work was always flawless and helped strengthen Kain's power within the organization.
However, at one point, he was betrayed by an organization executive who was jealous of Kain's early promotion and received a bullet in his chest.
He managed to survive and had no problems with his motor function, but it hit so close to his heart that it could not be extracted. And the bullet is definitely approaching his heart, and it is said that when it reaches it will be Abel's end.
A room in an old apartment on the outskirts of Southtown.
A seven-year-old boy, Rock, lives a modest life with his mother.
His life wasn't very rich, but it was a happy day surrounded by his mother's love.
He know his father, but he never wanted to meet me.
"Don't cause trouble for that person." Was his mother's wish.
However, Rock's desire to meet his father someday grows stronger.
One day, his mother falls ill with a mysterious illness.
Rock took care of her, but it was too much for a child to handle.
He hears her calling his father's name in a whimper.
Thinking about his ideas, Rock decided to ask Geese for help.
Rock headed to Geese Tower alone.
And he finally met his father for the first time.
Rock immediately tells him about his mother's condition, and he begs for help.
However, Geese did not listen to his wish and sent Rock back.
That night... his mother quietly took her last breath...
Since then, he has come to hate Geese.
"Rock's State of Mind after the Death of Geese"
Time passes, and it's been a year since Rock came to Terry.
Terry finally settled with Geese.
However, it also meant the death of his father.
Ever since his mother's death, Rock has held a grudge against his father but now has mixed feelings.
It may have been the sentiment of losing his last relative.
But Rock didn't care why.
Unable to think of anything else, Rock challenges Terry to a street fight.
Without saying a word, Terry accepted and the two fought all day and night.
And that night...
Naturally, there was no way he could beat Terry, so he was beaten up and lay motionless, looking at the moon.
The moon and myself. He could faintly hear his heart beating.
It was strange that he felt life even in his powerless and small self.
And he was thinking... Wondering where he's headed...
And a few years later...
Rock was on an aimless journey with Terry.
It was also a journey of self-discovery that he desperately thought about.
Geese Howard's progeny was picked up by Terry.
He lost his mother to an illness when he was young, and holds a grudge against his father, Geese, for not helping her.
However, contrary to his feelings, he has inherited his father's natural fighting senses. He was unmatched even as a child, eventually taking up street fighting as a living.
He had absorbed many things from living with Terry. From learning martial arts to the ways of life.
He is currently traveling aimlessly with Terry, honing his skills at the various fighting tournaments he visits. His growth over the last few years has been remarkable, and rumor has it he's already on par with Terry.
This time he decides to join the "King of Fighters" in search of the truth about his late mother.
"Come on, Terry, let's get started!"
Terry Bogard has settled his long battle with Geese Howard.
After a fateful encounter with Rock the boy of fate, Terry left the now peaceful Southtown and set out on a journey without a destination. On this journey, Terry teaches Rock everything he's learned so far and gives direction to his wavering mind.
Terry receives an invitation to the fighting tournament "King of Fighters", which will be held for the first time in 10 years. What is the purpose of the tournament now that Geese is gone? Suspicious, Terry returns to the stage to solve the mystery.
"My fists don't rust! Take care!"
The eldest son of Taekwondo master Kim Kaphwan.
While Jae-Hoon is serious like his father, Dong Hwan is lazy and tends to skip the dojo. Each time he neglects his training wonders off he is scolded by his father.
However, his fighting sense is endowed with natural talent, and he uses a variety of techniques that are unique and varied. Some say that his strength surpasses that of his father in his prime. His younger brother Jae-hoon is also worried... If only he could come to training.
Though Dong Hwan seems to like doing whatever he pleases, he's actually a gentler man than most people. This time, he heard that Jae-hoon would follow in his father's footsteps and participate in the "King of Fighters", so he decided to participate in the same way in order to help him.
"Well, I'm a curious person too... but, I don't know what I'm gonna do!"
Second son of Taekwondo master Kim Kaphwan.
Even among the students at the dojo that Kaphwan taught, he is the most hard-working. Above all, he has a strong desire to improve and likes practicing more than eating. The way he practiced was enough to make his older brother, Dong Hwan, say, "I'm full just by looking at him."
However, at the end of that effort, he finally mastered his father's secret technique, "Phoenix Kick".
In addition, he was able to carry on his father's ideal of "spreading taekwondo to people around the world". And in order to put it into practice, he decided to participate in the "King of Fighters" this time.
He loves justice even more than his father and does not tolerate evil.
"Watch me, Dad! Now, I'm going to once again prove how great taekwondo is!"
A girl who continues her journey with her friend, Itokatsu.
She is searching for her father and brother, who went missing at the time of her mother's death. Though she behaves cheerfully and usually never shows weakness in public, she sometimes gets depressed.
The incident six years ago was the cause of such a trip. At that time, Hotaru was with her kind family. A strict father, a kind mother, and an older brother who protects her more than anyone else. Hotaru felt that he was a happy family even though he had strict training.
It all came crashing down with a sudden tyranny. When Hotaru rushes to her after noticing something strange, her father and brother are nowhere to be seen, only the cold corpse of her mother lying in the dojo.
From the time she lost her family, Hotaru's journey began.
This time she heard rumors of a man who looked like her brother at the "King of Fighters" fighting tournament, and she decided to participate.
"I might be able to meet my brother here... I have to do my best!"
A solitary lone wolf who follows his own path.
He seeks power to overthrow his father who caused his mother's death. He is training all over the world to acquire the ultimate martial arts. He is absolutely confident and doesn't shy away from anyone.
Much of his background is unknown, but he does not appear to be of Chinese nationality.
"...this little fish!"
The Byrne family; one of the world's leading conglomerates. Jenny was their only daughter.
In her carefree life, she always came to think the same thing.
That the purpose of life... Is doing something that only you can do that no one else can. Why was I given life, and why is she here?
In order to come to that conclusion, Jenny thought... If you can't find it while waiting, go find it yourself. If you can't find it, create it yourself. If you do it anyway, it will be thrilling and exciting! I want to surprise the world with flashy things!
That was the moment when the thief group "Lilian Knights" was born.
The purpose of this time is to go to the most mysterious fighting tournament "King of Fighters" and receive a huge prize.
"For me, it's a tournament!"
A student at Kyokugen-ryu Dojo Brazil Branch.
When he was just starting out, he heard rumors about Kyokugen-ryu and went to challenge the dojo in Southtown, but was defeated by the dojo's owner, Ryo Sakazaki. In that battle, he learned the strength and depth of Kyokugen-ryu, abandoned his previous martial arts, shaved his head, and entered Kyokugen-ryu.
After that, he continued his efforts and steadily raised his skills, and finally grew up to be appointed as a substitute teacher.
His karate was wild and full of agility, making use of the unique springing of his body. He made Ryo Sakazaki, the current leader of the Kyokugen-ryu, say, "Even if he's the king of beasts, he'll turn into a cat in front of him."
Among his disciples, now that Ryo has retired from the front line, he is rumored to be the strongest Kyokugen-ryu, or in other words, the strongest fighter in the world.
"Khushnood has mastered Kyokugen... you should try it on Chimi!"
A lively boy currently training in the Shiranui style deep in the mountains.
From an early age, he has trained in the Shiranui style. His master was a foreigner, but his technique was solid, and Hokutomaru respected such a master and immediately worked on his training.
However, when Hokutomaru reaches the age of 14, he will enter puberty. Various questions and worries come out in the training that continues every day.
Is he really good at his ninjutsu? How strong is his power?
And then, the outside world... What is going on in the world that I don't know...?
Once you start thinking about it, the thought becomes stronger and stronger.
Then one night, Hokutomaru finally decides to go down the mountain. The world he saw for the first time... What he jumped into was a poster for the "King of Fighters" event.
"Let's try my ninjutsu to see if it works in the city!"
"It's a boring day......"
He wanted to take risks.
It's already been 20 years since he was born into this world. The only thing he learned after spending most of his life in a dangerous slum... It is the conclusion that "it is only when you are next to death that you can always feel alive." He couldn't think of a way to keep his identity in the peaceful days.
The only thing that can satisfy his hunger is a serious street fight. The tension of fighting in a concrete ring... If you can beat it, it's not enough.
Alive or dead...? It was his favorite moment. To those who know nothing about that way of life, it may seem self-deprecating. But he thoroughly enjoys the insane danger.
This time, he hears that the strongest and worst demon of destruction will participate in "King of Fighters", and he feels excitement like never before and participates in the battle against this unprecedented enemy.
"...this moment...this moment is the only time I'm alive..."
Tizoc: a man who has maintained an undefeated record since his debut and climbed to the top at once. Once upon a time, he was a hero to children all over the country.
However, he loses to a mysterious man who suddenly appears.
For a moment, he loses self-confidence and completely loses sight of himself. But with the encouragement of the children and his fans, he regains himself.
From that day on, he began rigorous special training to regain everything.
And two years later………while being hit by a waterfall, he discovers the only weak spot in the stream. This is the catalyst for creating his strongest new special move "Big Fall Griffon".
With this new power, he returned to the stage of "King of Fighters".
"Children, I was revived by your cheers! Come on, let's go undefeated!"
"You're Uncle Kevin, aren't you? Take revenge on Papa...!"
That was last week. He had a close friend, but someone assassinated him. Even if he seeks revenge, he does not know who the culprit is.
When such days were piled up, the child appeared.
"But Bowes, I feel the same way, but I don't know who it is."
"I know who."
"What? For real?"
"Yeah, and my name is Markye, not Bowes."
"OK, let's go, buddy!"
Kevin immediately began to identify the route to Second South.
"My fist is the admiration of destruction...the one who sneers at God's scorn and worships power..."
Wherever he appears, it is said that there will always be conflict. In fact, there are countless cities that have turned into ghost towns. At some point, people feared Grant as a symbol of destruction.
It is said that the power that he obtained by selling his soul to the devil has the destructive power to overwhelm even the best fighters.
His motives are unknown, but while he prefers fighting above all else, he seems to have an extreme dislike of the weak.
It is rumored that the "King of Fighters" that will be held this time is actually controlled by Grant from the shadows.
"Come quickly... strong man... I am Grant, a martyr of battle..."
A clever man who wants to get everything in the free city, "Second South". His only purpose is... It is the complete independence of the Second South. And he is trying to create a slum of the whole district, a true law of the law.
The source of his ambitions is based on his childhood experiences. His hometown was in the worst part of the shantytown. He had no parents and was forced to live hand-to-hand with his only immediate relative, his sister.
A city where only power is everything. The only food you can get is the chips you get in street fights. Cain fought with a small body and came out alive.
That's when he realized. He is a protected human and a non-protected human. Humans who fight and pave their own way, and humans who are incorporated into the system and swept away. In this world, which one is facing the issue of "living" with sincerity...?
His position at birth is irrelevant. He wanted to create a truly free world.
When he was 8 years old, he got the chance to put that idea into practice. The appearance of Kain during a street fight caught the eye of Don Papas of the family (secret society) who happened to be passing by.
Kain, who was bought for his beauty and strength above all, was picked up by Don Papas and became a member of the family.
A dozen years later... Using his gifted talent as a weapon, he created his own power within the organization, overthrew Don Papas, and became the boss of the family. And now... at last, he has begun to put his long-standing idea into practice...

She is searching for her father and brother, who went missing at the time of her mother's death. Though she behaves cheerfully and usually never shows weakness in public, she sometimes gets depressed.
The incident six years ago was the cause of such a trip. At that time, Hotaru was with her kind family. A strict father, a kind mother, and an older brother who protects her more than anyone else. Hotaru felt that he was a happy family even though he had strict training.
It all came crashing down with a sudden tyranny. When Hotaru rushes to her after noticing something strange, her father and brother are nowhere to be seen, only the cold corpse of her mother lying in the dojo.
From the time she lost her family, Hotaru's journey began.
This time she heard rumors of a man who looked like her brother at the "King of Fighters" fighting tournament, and she decided to participate.
"I might be able to meet my brother here... I have to do my best!"

| Favorite Sport: | Shotput |
When he was just starting out, he heard rumors about Kyokugen-ryu and went to challenge the dojo in Southtown, but was defeated by the dojo's owner, Ryo Sakazaki. In that battle, he learned the strength and depth of Kyokugen-ryu, abandoned his previous martial arts, shaved his head, and entered Kyokugen-ryu.
After that, he continued his efforts and steadily raised his skills, and finally grew up to be appointed as a substitute teacher.
His karate was wild and full of agility, making use of the unique springing of his body. He made Ryo Sakazaki, the current leader of the Kyokugen-ryu, say, "Even if he's the king of beasts, he'll turn into a cat in front of him."
Among his disciples, now that Ryo has retired from the front line, he is rumored to be the strongest Kyokugen-ryu, or in other words, the strongest fighter in the world.

From an early age, he has trained in the Shiranui style. His master was a foreigner, but his technique was solid, and Hokutomaru respected such a master and immediately worked on his training.
However, when Hokutomaru reaches the age of 14, he will enter puberty. Various questions and worries come out in the training that continues every day.
Is he really good at his ninjutsu? How strong is his power?
And then, the outside world... What is going on in the world that I don't know...?
Once you start thinking about it, the thought becomes stronger and stronger.
Then one night, Hokutomaru finally decides to go down the mountain. The world he saw for the first time... What he jumped into was a poster for the "King of Fighters" event.

He wanted to take risks.
It's already been 20 years since he was born into this world. The only thing he learned after spending most of his life in a dangerous slum... It is the conclusion that "it is only when you are next to death that you can always feel alive." He couldn't think of a way to keep his identity in the peaceful days.
The only thing that can satisfy his hunger is a serious street fight. The tension of fighting in a concrete ring... If you can beat it, it's not enough.
Alive or dead...? It was his favorite moment. To those who know nothing about that way of life, it may seem self-deprecating. But he thoroughly enjoys the insane danger.
This time, he hears that the strongest and worst demon of destruction will participate in "King of Fighters", and he feels excitement like never before and participates in the battle against this unprecedented enemy.

However, he loses to a mysterious man who suddenly appears.
For a moment, he loses self-confidence and completely loses sight of himself. But with the encouragement of the children and his fans, he regains himself.
From that day on, he began rigorous special training to regain everything.
And two years later………while being hit by a waterfall, he discovers the only weak spot in the stream. This is the catalyst for creating his strongest new special move "Big Fall Griffon".
With this new power, he returned to the stage of "King of Fighters".

That was last week. He had a close friend, but someone assassinated him. Even if he seeks revenge, he does not know who the culprit is.
When such days were piled up, the child appeared.
"But Bowes, I feel the same way, but I don't know who it is."

Wherever he appears, it is said that there will always be conflict. In fact, there are countless cities that have turned into ghost towns. At some point, people feared Grant as a symbol of destruction.
It is said that the power that he obtained by selling his soul to the devil has the destructive power to overwhelm even the best fighters.
His motives are unknown, but while he prefers fighting above all else, he seems to have an extreme dislike of the weak.
It is rumored that the "King of Fighters" that will be held this time is actually controlled by Grant from the shadows.

The source of his ambitions is based on his childhood experiences. His hometown was in the worst part of the shantytown. He had no parents and was forced to live hand-to-hand with his only immediate relative, his sister.
A city where only power is everything. The only food you can get is the chips you get in street fights. Cain fought with a small body and came out alive.
That's when he realized. He is a protected human and a non-protected human. Humans who fight and pave their own way, and humans who are incorporated into the system and swept away. In this world, which one is facing the issue of "living" with sincerity...?
His position at birth is irrelevant. He wanted to create a truly free world.
When he was 8 years old, he got the chance to put that idea into practice. The appearance of Kain during a street fight caught the eye of Don Papas of the family (secret society) who happened to be passing by.
Kain, who was bought for his beauty and strength above all, was picked up by Don Papas and became a member of the family.
A dozen years later... Using his gifted talent as a weapon, he created his own power within the organization, overthrew Don Papas, and became the boss of the family. And now... at last, he has begun to put his long-standing idea into practice...
2023.06.11 03:34 MousyDaredevil Is my situation too irrelevant for cps?
Hi everyone, my sibling suggested that I call cps but I think i might be too old.
For context I turn 18 in 3 months, however the emotional abuse is so bad that I just can’t seem to even want to live like this anymore.
There used to be physical abuse but that stopped when I was 15 when I fought back for once.
My parents are religious fundamentalists and shove islam down my throat and that means my clothing, career, job, friendships, thoughts, basically everything is controlled by them.
I’m not an autonomous human being and have never been treated as one. As someone who is an atheist, living here with these brainless people is incredibly taxing on my psyche.
I’ve tried to ask my older siblings for help, even teachers, even my pediatrician, but no one gives a damn bc it’s “only verbal and mental” and “other people have it worse, there’s people that live in war zones and your complaining about your family bc your too sensitive”
My mom has stuck a knife to my throat when I was 13-14 (she was mad bc I didn’t obey her order) and I told my sibling and he called me a liar.
I’ve asked for help so many times throughout my life and no one cared.
I know my only option is to get a job and move out but it’s not that easy especially with how garbage the job market is at the moment.
I’m unsure, I feel cps won’t do any thing but maybe it will make my parents more afraid, they act good whenever people show up and tell me to “be quiet about family matters, bc we are family and we don’t talk bad about each other to outsiders”
I’ve reached a breaking point and I just want a stop to the abuse, esp since I cant leave. Should I call? Or am I better off just sucking it up like always and ruining my mental health?

2023.06.11 03:33 RobertPaulsen1992 Rest in Peace, Theodore John Kaczynski. An obituary.
Think what you want about his actions, his character and some of the things he said and wrote - this man's writing has put me on the path I'm still traveling on today, and I'm forever thankful for that. I wouldn't be where I am today without him. His essay/manifesto, "Industrial Society and Its Future," was exactly what a frustrated, alienated, fed-up white middle-class kid from Europe needed to break free from this society's madness, to run off to live in the woods, strive for self-sufficiency, make up demigods and Nature spirits like he did during his time in Montana's mountains, and try to achieve as much freedom as is still possible in today's world.
For the record: I don't endorse his bombing campaign (which I have on occasion called "the Kaczynski Newsletter"), nor do I condemn it. I can truly empathize with the feelings that led him to commit those acts, and while I think that there are better outlets for said feelings, I also won't shed a tear over some timber company lobbyist, advertising executive, geneticist or techie.
He wasn't some psychopath, some mentally ill maniac, but a shy genius, someone who longed for a life that this society has made all but impossible, a life that all humans secretly long for. He was a loner, which I always thought was the most tragic thing about his story. What he would have needed is a committed group of friends, a tribe so to speak, which was virtually impossible at the time he started seeing modern society for what it is, since everyone else was having the time of their lives consuming without any restraint and toiling away for the system - he saw where this lifestyle would lead, he felt compassion for the natural world when nobody else did, when people merrily went about destroying the environment without as much as a second thought. He was ahead of his time in his criticism of industrial society, technology, and the way this society runs counter to our most basic instincts and Human Nature.
True, much of his criticism of technology was influenced by earlier thinkers, but I can say the same for my own writing - there are preciously little "original" ideas. But he rephrased and summarized those concepts and made them accessible to regular people with no prior knowledge, who would have otherwise never thought to pick up some dusty old philosophy book.
If you don't believe me or are shocked by the above obituary, I urge you to read his collective writings, published as a book titled "Technological Slavery." He doesn't mince his words, and you'll likely feel offended here and there (as I did when I first read his criticism of Leftism, or later, when I read his critique of Anarcho-Primitivism), but push beyond this initial feeling and try to see the matter from an outside perspective - and you'll see that there is some truth in his criticism - he usually has a pretty good point. It's important to re-examine our beliefs and view them critically, so that we don't become entrenched in dogma. Like Gloria Steinem famously said: "The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off!"
Thank you, Uncle Ted, and farewell. May you find the freedom you've always longed for in the world beyond.

2023.06.11 03:33 Fantastic-Panda8175 Dota is making me insane
Dota 2 and other mobas are the most toxic and miserable environments because of the very competitive nature yet the reliance of 4 people you don’t know to win. Because of this, in many games you will hear the toxic people yelling at eachother because they blame eachother for the loss. Some Dota players get lucky and rarely get significantly worse teams so when they lose they feel often times that they could have change the outcome with their own play, which encourages them to get better because they are playing the game for self improvement. However unlucky players like me get paired with griefers/feeders/ or people that are just super low impact players and although I make occasional mistakes my teammates will make game losing mistakes that I see before they even happen. Because of this I often change my role and hero pool trying to find hero’s that I enjoy playing that can solo carry games, but I haven’t found any because at the end of the day Dota is team reliant game and if you are one of the unlucky “toxic” players you are upset often because every game feels like your team is 1k mmr behind the enemies.
I post this because when I first started playing I loved the game, although I sucked I knew I did and wanted to learn everything about the game. I’ve spent 3 years watching videos on YouTube, watching pro replays and playing thousands of games, but for the past year I been stuck in 4K bracket and about 1 in every 20 losses do I feel that if I was a better player I would win the game, they feel mostly unwinnable. I don’t want to give up the game because I see the beauty in it but it’s making me go insane because I’m constantly angry at my team for stuff people 2k mmr would know. What do I do.
BTW - I don’t care if my team is much worse than enemy, but I this difference about 40 percent of games which is too much I think (I count griefers/feeders as bad team even if it’s just the pos 1 or 2 and the rest of players are decent)

2023.06.11 03:33 Firstlastusually Hello all. Saw this while fishing in central Kentucky.
 | Unfortunately I only had my cellphone camera, wasn’t expecting to come across anything novel. I usually pay attention to local wildlife and have never seen this bird. Tried the Merlin bird app, this guy or gal never made a single sound. I’ve spent a few hours looking at pictures of every bird that’s supposed to be in Kentucky, couldn’t get a positive ID. This bird spent a good hour wading in the pond plants and snapping up small fish. Not sure how long it’s legs were, but it could comfortably keep its body out of the water where it was 6 inches deep. While feeding it would unfold it’s neck like a heron or pelican and work the fish down it’s throat. The neck was bigger, more like a pelican than a heron. The wingspan was fairly large (I did look up known species of large birds), probably at least three feet wide. It had black feathers starting behind the white feathers around its eyes, and some black on the back of its head and shoulders down the top or front of its wings if it was flying. It’s back was a light brown fading to white on the belly. The legs and feet were a distinctive ruddy orange. The beak was black, relatively thin for the bird’s size, with a consistent curve and taper. I’ll definitely take my Nikon the next time I go. Any help would be greatly appreciated! submitted by Firstlastusually to whatsthisbird [link] [comments] |
2023.06.11 03:33 Fearlessamurai BC OZ - Thin Mint GSC Craft 28G 29.8% THC 3.03% Terps 140$ 🔥🍪🥵
Howdy folks! 🤠 This will be my last review here, AFAIK, as I will begin an indefinite reddit self-exclusion shortly after this post goes up, in protest of the STUPID API changes reddit has made, killing my only method of reddit consumption, RIF 😔
ANYWHO, going out on a good note.
Have recently been enjoying ANY Gelato strains I've seen lately, so when I saw BC OZ had a GSC Craft ounce, I pounced on the opportunity to experience gelato's parental lineage.
Let me tell you, it is soooooooo good.
Cracking the seal, met with a very nice, lemony-cake smell. Very limonene forward to me. Upon busting up, it opens up to a much more cake heavy, but still very lemon forward smell, very very nice.
Nug appeal was great, trim looked very nice.
Cure was on point, did have a integra pack, which has kept the buds perfect ( to me ) lil squish, no larf, busts up nicely 👍👍
Smoke on this was EXACTLY what I had hoped for. I dunno if it was placebo, cause I was expecting Gelato, but ohhh boy did I get gelato.
The smoke on this one was superb. Super smooth, absolutely awesome Gelato taste, while still holding the sharpness of the lemon, I REALLY enjoyed this offering.
High feels STRONG.
Is hitting me a bit more like a hybrid vs the Gelato 41 from 1964, but is definitely a more pronounced, heady high.
Feeling a bit under the weather today, and this has really turned my day around ☺️
Value: 10/10 I've been happily paying 35$ an 8th for my Gelato fix, and at 140$ an oz, this is DEFINITELY great value to me.
Quality:10/10 This has delivered on all points that I look for in a gelato strain, and I am EXTREMELY happy with this purchase.
Will happily repurchase if you guys don't buy it all
🫡
Farewell for now, fellow stoners. See you on the other side of this API bullshit.
Happy tokes.

I wanted to make this post a long time ago. It's something I felt for so long but I couldn't bring myself to ask for clarity on that matter.
It's going to be a long story because you need context to guide me better in understanding what I'm feeling right now.
I had a group of friends back in high school and it was great to be part of something. It gave me a sense of belonging, but then I expanded my social groups and I went to multiple other friend groups because I was in a lot of sports teams back in high school, so I talked to a bunch of people. I began to neglect my main group of friends a bit. Then I had my injuries and I stopped hanging out with my other group friends and went back to the "original" one. It did feel weird because they were talking in code on certain topics so I wouldn't know what they were talking about and it made me feel left out (I think, they felt uncomfortable to talk around me because I have been hanging out with them for so long). I eventually left this group. So now fast forward, I'm in college and I am getting closer to an old friend (we are going to call her Valerie) from high school. A lot of drama happens between her and her partners and I feel mixed up in this in some way when I have nothing to do with it. (Because I solely hang out with her, their drama becomes my drama). I often chill with them, so I often feel like a third wheel. I fell off with that friend multiple times. Valerie is someone that I feel I can't truly be myself with and she always judges how I am and what I'm doing. I feel like she doesn't truly like my company. And she made me insecure about how I present myself to the world.
Okay, bare with me. I'm going to talk about two more friends and make a parallel between them. You are going to understand later.
I had a friend. Let's call her (Georgina). Georgina was also an old friend of mine that I used to be cool with. I thought I was close to that person, but last year, when it was my birthday, she said that she was pleased to have an acquaintance from high school that she still knew of. I invited her to my birthday and she used to come to my apartment all the time, so I was blown away when I received this happy birthday text.
I met Georgina in high school before I met Valerie. I have known Georgina since I was 12 years old. And she met Valerie through me, so we became to hang us 3. I always invite Georgina to activities but I never receive this energy back. She would invite Valerie but not me. So Georgina and Valerie became close friends in college and I felt pushed to the side. I had a fall off with Valerie and a few weeks later, I saw they had a party for Georgina's birthday and Georgina didn't think of inviting me. She said it was like a private party.
So fast forward to this situation. I stopped being friends with Georgina because she clearly didn't see me as one of her friends. I installed the Bumble app so I could find some new friends, which I did. I felt like I needed it to connect deeply with other people without questioning my friendship with them.
The first person I met, let's call her Florence. I met this person and she seemed really cool. We still talk but then Valerie decides to make Bumble friends as well. I explained to her that I had met this friend called Florence and I really vibed with her. Valerie matches with Florence as well and now she asks me to hang out with her and Florence, but my goal was to develop a deeper connection with one person without being in a group dynamic and I also feel like I could lose her to my friend Valerie. So I became insecure. I know, I can't gatekeep friends and I hate that I think like that, which is why I'm writing this post today.
Briefly, I'm almost at the end of the story. I met another girl on Bumble. Let's call her Dylan. Dylan is fun to be around and I can be myself with her. I was so happy that she was MY friend finally. I talked to Valerie about Dylan and Valerie confessed to me that Dylan is her type and she kinda has a crush on her. So Valerie texts her and they even go on a date and kiss. They have a huge crush on each other but then something happens & they just stop talking to each other. I start feeling more at ease and comfortable again (I know it's fuck up). Until now, they started to talk again, but as friends now and yea, I feel like I'm losing Dylan and I just want to cut the friendship and "give her" to Valerie so I don't get hurt again. I know it's weird how I think.
I'm also feeling recently because my birthday is coming soon and I don't have friends or a group of friends that I feel close to and it makes me sad that I'm gonna spend my 22th bday alone without deep connection or whatever. If that's being an adult , I don't want it 😭😭

2023.06.11 03:33 Apprehensive_Run1303 Therapist, I need your help, have I missed up?
Should I change my therapist? I’ve been with her for a month now; everything seems great, and I enjoy the sessions, except I didn't check her certification before booking. I was in a bad mental space and booked whoever was available and can communicate with both languages.( Arabic+English) On her page on the therapy website, she describes herself as a breathwork practitioner and counselor and has the two following degrees that are related to psychotherapy *Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy from Royal Berkshire College of clinical hypnosis *Certificate in CBT fundamentals for depression & anxiety
Plus other degrees in yoga and breath work and access bar etc...
“I don’t suffer from any of depression and anxiety”
But did I miss up? I feel comfortable with her, but I fear that I might pick the wrong therapist. What to do?

2023.06.11 03:33 ShelLuser42 Yah, that's why I didn't move out of your way... duh...
Hi gang!
I'm really beginning to believe that many entitled people also suffer from forms of mental illness or something, because what we experienced yesterday (time of writing) really took the cake for us...
Going shopping
It's Friday in the afternoon. My girlfriend came over to my place for the weekend and we had prepared ourselves for some grocery shopping. Because of the heat, us being a little "lazy" and because we were also going to grab the much needed beer for the weekend we grabbed my shopping trolley and went on our way.
When we're together we always just walk over to the supermarket; it's approx. 2 or so kilometers from my place so ... 15 - 20 minute walk tops. Weather is great and there's nothing I like more than walking hand in hand with my gf in tow. There are basically two ways (well, 2 direct ways) to reach the supermarket we wanted to visit: following the main highway or following the main road through the city itself. It's a little detour but also a nice way, so that's what we did.
The incident
So, things to know: in the Netherlands we drive on the right side of the road. My gf and me are walking on the sidewalk on the left side of the road (left for us) so on our right side is all the oncoming traffic. There's a bike lane directly next to the sidewalk and next to that is the main road. This is a two way street so: 2 lanes for the cars, 2 bike lanes next to it and sidewalks on both ends.
During the time of this incident it was quite busy, gf and me even commented how much traffic there was all of a sudden and we figured that it must have been the weather.
Normally the sidewalk is large enough for 4 - 5 people to pass each other without issues, so we're walking side by side, holding hands and dragging the shopping trolley behind us. However, there's one small stroke right next to several buildings, one of those being a cafeteria, and this section is very small in comparison: two people can pass each other with a bit of space in between but that's it, it's quite small.
So, obviously, because it's somewhat busy we walk behind each other. My gf takes the shopping trolley and beacons me to go in front. All goes quite normal when suddenly an older lady drives her bicycle onto the sidewalk, gets off while holding the bike on her right and thus blocking the entire sidewalk. And she walks towards us, bike in hand.
I walk up to her and stop, now also blocking her somewhat.
"Move out of the way, I need to get to the restaurant", she snaps at me while there are dozens of bicycles passing us on the road. Yah, I think not: "I'm not the one blocking the whole sidewalk", I tell her and just keep standing there. "Just go around me!", she yells while I can see another group of bikes coming our way: "And walk into traffic?", I say: "No thanks. Why don't you make some room for us to pass?". "I'm in a hurry", she says to which I reply: "All the more reason to make some room I think so that we can all be on our way".
Nope... she wasn't budging but neither was I. I mean, how stupid can you get? Surely she can also see all the traffic passing us you'd think? Apparently not... because the next moment she mutters an insult and moves / swings her bike straight onto the bike lane without even bothering to look out for any traffic.
Oh, my god! If the driver of the car that was coming towards us wasn't paying as much attention as he did this would have ended very badly... the first bike that came towards us managed to sway onto the road causing the car to fully slam on his brakes, squealing tires and all. Thankfully nothing happened... The biker passed while shouting some remarks at the lady. The next biker however wasn't as lucky and slammed right into the womans bike but fortunately enough he managed to keep his balance and didn't fall off completely.
A group behind him managed to slow down and they passed single file.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!!", shouts the lady at the biker: "what do you think you're doing?!!" while the biker now shares a tirade of its own about senile blind b-words who really need to learn how to behave in traffic.
"See, that's why I didn't want to move out of the way", I tell the lady who is now looking quite angrily at me.
She looks around while the biker is still yelling at her, let's out a "hmpf! assholes!" and gets on her bike and just speeds off while driving onto the sidewalk. While she did go in the same direction that we were heading we never saw her again.
Entitlement? Or sheer stupidity... you'll be the judge.
Thanks for reading!

TL;DR
- Gf & me walk towards the supermarket, coming across a small sidewalk.
- Because of that I go first and my gf follows.
- A lady drives her bicycle onto the sidewalk, gets off and blocks our way.
- She wants me to go around her, but because of somewhat heavy ongoing traffic I refuse and just keep standing.
- She huffs, and she puffs and then "just" pushes her bike onto the road causing quite some mayhem.
- One biker sways out of the way, thankfully the car behind him manages to come to a stop with screeching tires. The biker behind him though crashes straight into the womans bike but he does manage to prevent himself from falling.
- The woman basically blames everyone else for what's happening and eventually just takes off.
2023.06.11 03:33 l515207234 a sack of meat
Im in my late 20’s, husband is early 30’s. I think he’s actually addicted to porn now. Im really, really chill with porn. I’ve never controlled it and I think it’s a form of sexual manipulation to tell someone what they can and can’t do privately but that’s my opinion and I know that this topic can start a dumpster fire. If you subliminally tell me I deserved this, eat your own words.
I’m not perfect and I have my faults but I genuinely believe I was meant to be a wife. I love to nurture, I am loyal and devoted to a fault and I just want to please. I’m attractive. I turn heads everywhere I go. I don’t give two cents about that because the only person whose attention I want is my husbands. The last couple of years have been up and down and the most recent argument has put me in a place I’ve never been in. I have therapists telling me that they’ve never met anyone with the patience that I have for what he’s putting me through and that I have the ability to leave and it would be valid. He’s been distant but lately he’s been a lot happier with me and kinder which lead me to believe that maybe his mental health was getting better and he was going to stop treating me like a fly on the wall.
Last three months have been a deadbedroom. A couple of nights ago, he reached out to me in bed and we embraced but it lead to sex. I fucking love sex. I think about having sex everyday, every hour. I have an incredibly high libido. I know he does too but he’s had health problems and anti depressants that cause ED.
So this past week, we’ve had sex a couple of times but a number of those times, he had difficulty cumming or can’t and I have finally had enough.
I’m not a fool. I do his laundry. Cum shirts daily. I can clearly visibly see what he’s doing in his computer. Every fucking min of everyday he’s on torrent sites, seeding content or downloading content and viewing images or videos of porn. Porn porn porn porn.
It’s one thing to watch porn but it’s another to be one of those seedy people that are constantly on these sites to upload and download this shit. Like fuck. Every hour.
The grossest part of this is that after three months of being put aside and him treating me the way he did, he comes to me only at night for affection and it leads to sex. After the first time, a part of me thought maybe I could just enjoy the physical aspect of this because I’m so sexually frustrated and I want to fuck but when I catch him checking these sites, it’s like a rock dropping in an ocean. I feel empty and used and I think I’m just a warm hole he gets to use because he’s tired of jerking off.
I’m not really asking for advice because I logically know what’s going on and how I need to address this. I think I just need girlfriends to tell me “girl he doesn’t deserved you girl” blah blah. I’m just upset and hurt and I feel stupid for giving my body away to someone with scummy behaviour.

2023.06.11 03:33 Kali_Tate2469 I hope you found what you needed.
J.
I don’t know what went wrong, when it did or why. I felt you pulling away, I even asked you about it and if you wanted to end it, and you said no. The day before you said goodbye you said yourself you were more desperate for me.
We spent endless hours with you showing how desired I could be, filling me with ideas of what I should accept in my life. We uncovered layers and layers of emotions and dreams and past traumas. I sat before you and ripped my veins open and shed my pain, my healing and my light onto you. You shared deep dark secrets and allowed me to gain your trust. You showed me what it felt like to have someone who wanted to keep digging into my soul and learn more and more about me, how it felt to be admired and valued. I struggle with believing what was real now because I don’t understand how that connection was so easy for you to just let go with a simple goodbye and not a second thought.
I know I could message you, but I don’t think I will, you asked me to walk away and we always respected each other’s boundaries. You know I read this subreddit a lot so I guess if you are meant to see this, you will. I am grateful for the time you shared with me. I value your perspectives you shared with me, and the support you offered. I don’t know that I will ever be able to open up to someone or trust someone again, like I did you. I am so lonely without your good mornings and all day talking. I truly hope you find what you are looking for and that everyday, you do something for yourself. I will think of you often, and I hope you always think of me, reminding you how valued you are, you are worthy and strong. You matter. Even if it’s to a girl you used to know, and said goodbye.
🤍

2023.06.11 03:32 Francis_FaffyWaffles Actual All Terrain Vehicle Mk2
 | This thing is awesome. submitted by Francis_FaffyWaffles to HyruleEngineering [link] [comments] It can handle any slope less than 90⁰, and some slopes more. No rock can stop it. It goes forward and backward in water. Faster than zonai fan boats. I have taken this thing straight up waterfalls, but the video is way long. I use sort of a “modular” design philosophy for it, taking stuff off and putting it on as needed. For example, in the video, you notice a fan for extra down force. Usually, that fan is not there, and I’ll have a construct head and laser instead. In the desert, I’ll take the wheels off. In volcano depths, I have a version that replaces the wooden gyro wheel with a shrine motor. —— Improvements from Mk1: It is way more compact and less likely to break. Fine tuned the “engine” for more consistent thrust. Turns out the fans need to be slightly offset from the center wheel. It uses icy meat and icy hearty bass for lubrication and stabilization of the wheel engine. The hot air balloon basket is actually necessary for the design. It acts as a counterweight to the fans in back. The new steering stick gyro is amazing. It allows full Pitch stability, and leniency for roll and yaw using a portable pot. Main issue I still have to solve is “gyro yaw control”, so if it slips while climbing something incredibly steep, and rolls, the steering stick might break off. However, other than that edge case, I’ve never had it break off. Decided against adding suspension, as the back fan provides most of the forward thrust. It would just add to the component list, and leave less room for modifications |
2023.06.11 03:32 violetsky444 dating with intimacy issues has changed my opinion of myself even though I know it shouldnt
I'm 22 and my end goal has always been to find someone who is willing to commit to me. I also have a lot of guilt around sex being tied to my worth since I grew up with these ideologies in catholic school. However, the past year I moved out for my final year of university I met a guy who I hoped to date, but it became clear pretty early on he was just looking for sex so we became fwb for a few months. I'm aware I did make a mistake engaging in it when I knew I had feelings, but the chemistry was great and he carried himself and spoke like casual hookups were the norm for him and hadnt been in a relationship since high school. So I figured fuck it, why not, sex should be fun and shame free and I enjoy it, why shouldnt I have fun while I have the chance! At the time, I did
He amicably ended things with me end of april because we graduated and dont live in the same city anymore, which was the right decision but hard because my feelings were still there. Now, I find out through social media that he has a girlfriend, and its just brought back all the old negative feelings I had about myself and sex. If he can get into a relationship this easy, what is it about me that makes me only worthy of sex? or is it that I was wrong to give it up so soon and chose my own fate at a place holder until he found someone better than me? i've just been looking down on myself and seeing myself as so inadequate, even though I know I'm not any less of a person for enjoying sex. its just hard to have a high self esteem when this has triggered me so much. going forward I know casual sex is a no for me, but how do I deal with these emotions and navigating dating againn now?

2023.06.11 03:32 ReporterIndividual22 Hekp/Suggestions on How to expand hole on hood latch.
 | Hello, submitted by ReporterIndividual22 to Autobody [link] [comments] Last week i hit deer and the passenger side of the car is jacked up. I have a 15+ yr old car so I only have liability insurance. I went to the body shop and the mechanic said that nothing external is damaged. The hood is lifted up and the bumper is bent. The hood locks and everything. The cost of repair is $4000. I can buy 3 of my cars for that price. So that was out of the question. A coworker suggest a salvage yard. I went to the salvage yard and found a bumper and hood but it was gold color. I bought it and Friday I painted it black (my car color). My friend and I put the bumper on, w/o issue. ( the frame is bent right so the headlights on the passenger side will never be the same only one bolt will screw in to hold it) but when we put the hood on, it did not lock it will pass the hook but will not go all the way in but it will lock with the bent one. So we put the bent one back on the car. Today we took the bumper off and put the new hood back on just to see what stopping it from going all the way down. On the picture where the blue tape is the area where the hook stops. Any suggestions on how to remove this same area? Would filing it work? The metal isn't thin but if I can sum up the thickness. It is probably 2-3 nickels stacked on each other if that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks |
2023.06.11 03:32 clegay15 Tales of Middle Earth Flavor Critique: Samwise Gamgee
Preface:
I am a huge Lord of the Rings fan; I re-read the books typically once a year. I also adore the movies, and find all of Tolkien's legendarium absolutely awesome. Truly one of my favorite hobbies so I'd like to offer some critiques and excitement of flavor gems from Tales of Middle Earth. I won't do every card, but I'll comment on some individual cards and how WOTC did on it. I will comment on the cards abilities but only insofar as it impacts the flavor; i.e. what the card is doing not power level, etc.
To be clear: I understand there are sacrifices you need to make for the greater game, and sometimes those come first. For these articles: I am looking at each card in a vacuum, so if I seem harsh it's because I am using a single lens.
Next up: Samwise Gamgee!

Flavor Critique:
I have already written a fair amountabout Sam Gamgee, one of the two main heroes of the story. The first card, Samwise the Stouthearted, shows Sam in Shelob's Lair. This new card shows the opposite, actually a scene after the end of The Lord of the Rings with Sam reading from the Red Book of Westmarch to his many (many) children.
Overall, the four Hobbits who returned all fell into different endings. Frodo became a complete pacifist, refused to wield a sword again, and then eventually sailed over the Sea into the West to find whatever peace he could in Valinor. Peregrin (Pippin) succeeded his father as Thain of the Tookland, and wrote down much Hobbit lore into books; Meriadoc followed a similar path (both eventually settled down in Gondor), and Sam became a father. The Shire truly was Sam's home and he managed to return to it; he became Mayor of Michel Delving (basically becoming the leader of the Shire); he planted a Malorn Tree to replace the Party Tree.
Finally, Sam was a cook and one of the best chapters in Book IV is Sam cooking Frodo a stew of conies (caught by Sméagol) to help bring up Frodo's spirits.
One minor addition: Sam also builds a boat and sails over the sea to join Frodo; one of the last people to do so to our knowledge.
Color
I have always viewed Sam as a Green-White character; a man prepared to change but seeking to preserve his home and friends. Who looked after others before himself. Now he is a father, and a mayor as well.
Abilities
I like the first ability: Sam cooks for the people who show up to help your team. He can then use the food to revive characters from the graveyard back to your hand. An excellent job on flavor for a retired Sam.

2023.06.11 03:32 _IronKing2002_ Stuck in a weird spot, fighting alone
I (21M) met last year a girl I thought was the genuine love my life. Time slowed down it seemed and she was my everything. We bonded insanely well and moved in together two months in and from there it was great. Almost a year in and we lose the house because her parents wanted to get rid of her. The entire time I lived with her she never worked, but I put school and everything on hold to work multiple jobs. She wanted to get engaged so we did after 8 months. I was completely devoted to her even when she still had contact with her ex's family and actively visited them often. I never once thought about leaving her. We had to go to my parents house for a while and it was a small town with hardly any work. All that was available was part time and I decided I wanted to finish my last semester of school to get a solid job at the bank while I worked a part time. She had a lot of problems with that, but I wanted to get the job I actually wanted. I had gained a lot of weight by this point and she had ran my depression through the roof. She got into an argument with my parents about how they run the house and she left to stay at her brother's house in a bigger town to make more money. She wanted me to leave my family and disassociate from them and I couldn't, I wanted both in my life. At least just my brother. That wasn't good enough. She borderline ghosted me for a month, sometimes taking days to respond only to break up with me over text after a year and sent me a picture of a guy she had been seeing.
I have been cheated on 2, now 3 times and this was the final straw. I told her to come get her shit. Now that she's gone I'm left with this huge pit of loss that would hurt, and sometimes still does, for a few months. I genuinely feel like all the women in my area cheat and only want money. And the only release I get is my time at the gym. I've made great progress with my weight, but still have to wait for school to finish before I can get the bank job I've been waiting for. And worse, I'm just alone. I have friends and family, but I miss that connection with someone else, facing the world together and someone I can give my heart and devotion to. The gym has been my only therapy, but I could use advice if you guys could throw any my way.

2023.06.11 03:31 PartAffectionate8413 USDA Loan, first time home buyer guidance
Hi all, I’m 24 and looking into purchasing my first home in a few months. I’ve always wanted to live in the country so when I heard about USDA loan I was ecstatic. I had an appointment at a PNC branch to learn more, but they were unprepared and were not able to answer my questions.
Here are my questions: - as this is my first time, I’m not sure how buying a home really works. I always thought you would get pre-approved for a loan, and then start looking in that price range (but when I was filling out an application they asked for my home of interest), do you look first? How long does approval take? - Do I even qualify? for TX, I believe you qualify as low income if you make under 70k. I currently make $61k (but am expected to get a raise this July.. hopefully not pushing me over the limit). I have a 720 credit score and have $27k in student loans and $7k in credit cards (I’m working on it, I did not have help throughout college and dug myself in a bit of debt. But it could be worse). I have a masters degree and just started my first job in October (although I interned at my current job in 2021 and worked there for a few months up until my start date in 2022) I mention this bc I believe you need a 2 year work history. I am hoping to get a home in Fort bend county. - can I apply for this loan directly with USDA? Or do I have to go through a 3rd party lender?
Thank you for taking the time to even read this. I really appreciate any guidance you can provide.

2023.06.11 03:31 MisterSnippy A Final Salute
The Drake lowers her spyglass, battlements reflected in lens, sky reflected in eyepiece, her true expression reflected in the copper metal rim, hesitation. Sitting there, below the walls, across grassy fields, about a half a mile away, are the Bloodfields. A patch of land, red of course, blood red, looking relatively innocuous at a glance. It is currently, to use a term, inactive, to use a more realistic term, sleeping. Long ago it had been smaller, decades ago it had been further away, and now, it was a threat. Ever encroaching on their, not her, city, Visteil.
An aged Drake with yellow and orange flecked scales speaks in a wavering, tired, gasp, cane scraping quietly against the stonework, trying to find footing that isn't there.
"[Tactician] Verii, what course of action do you suggest?"
He speaks the words with humble respect, a respect she feels undue considering their Level gap, but the origins of which she understands.
"[Strategist] Dreszel," she speaks his name and Class with care, and then speaks loudly, authoritatively, "These lands will soon become uninhabitable. Visteil needs to be evacuated as soon as possible. You'll have options as to where to go, Pallass will always be willing to accommodate any [Refugees] per our contract, and can work with you if any citizens want to go elsewhere, but Visteil will cease to be as it is. Just my personal estimate, I'd say you need to get everyone out of the city within a year."
Heaviness lingers in the air, Dreszel freezes for a moment, then sags. He physically slumps over a bit, leaning against Verii's sapphire-scaled arm, and she lets him be, understanding. Sadness is on the surface, but somewhere deep within him, tucked away with furtive caution, is relief.
"I knew this would happen someday, I just thought it would be after my time. So many years, so many wars, and this is how it ends. The Dead Gods damned Bloodfields."
A jolt of energy jumps through him, fueled by anger. Fists clench, release, and with a sigh, a long sigh, the last sigh of the city, but not the last sigh for the city, he stands straight and gives her a form-perfect salute.
"Thank you, [Tactician] Verii, I-" his voice breaks, warbling, a moment of strength, not weakness, "I just needed to hear it from someone else. Please, leave me be, we will speak more tomorrow."
She doesn't look back, slowly following the steps down away from the battlements, when a crack sounds, and the smell of ozone fills the air, as a spell fires out towards the Bloodfields in a brilliant flash of blue. Slowly, gradually, more spells sound, lighting up the darkness. Citizens, [Soldiers], [Mages], fire various spells and other projectiles out at the Bloodfields throughout the night, even a Wall Spell is fired, mana crackling in the air along with a boom, not a one reaching the boundary. No words are shared, silence spoken, and as daylight rolls around, the city of Visteil gets to work.

Just got discharged and closed on Monday, and I’m only just now seeing posts about not reaffirming houses and cars during CH7 yet still getting to keep them so long as payments are made. Is there any way to cancel a reaffirm after the case is closed? Or did I royally screw this up?
My lawyer never mentioned anything about reaffirming being a bad thing, in fact he recommended it.

2023.06.11 03:30 Traditional_Buddy_59 NEED ADVICE PLEASE HELP!!!!!
I wanted to make this post a long time ago. It's something I felt for so long but I couldn't bring myself to ask for clarity on that matter.
It's going to be a long story because you need context to guide me better in understanding what I'm feeling right now.
I had a group of friends back in high school and it was great to be part of something. It gave me a sense of belonging, but then I expanded my social groups and I went to multiple other friend groups because I was in a lot of sports teams back in high school, so I talked to a bunch of people. I began to neglect my main group of friends a bit. Then I had my injuries and I stopped hanging out with my other group friends and went back to the "original" one. It did feel weird because they were talking in code on certain topics so I wouldn't know what they were talking about and it made me feel left out (I think, they felt uncomfortable to talk around me because I have been hanging out with them for so long). I eventually left this group. So now fast forward, I'm in college and I am getting closer to an old friend (we are going to call her Valerie) from high school. A lot of drama happens between her and her partners and I feel mixed up in this in some way when I have nothing to do with it. (Because I solely hang out with her, their drama becomes my drama). I often chill with them, so I often feel like a third wheel. I fell off with that friend multiple times. Valerie is someone that I feel I can't truly be myself with and she always judges how I am and what I'm doing. I feel like she doesn't truly like my company. And she made me insecure about how I present myself to the world.
Okay, bare with me. I'm going to talk about two more friends and make a parallel between them. You are going to understand later.
I had a friend. Let's call her (Georgina). Georgina was also an old friend of mine that I used to be cool with. I thought I was close to that person, but last year, when it was my birthday, she said that she was pleased to have an acquaintance from high school that she still knew of. I invited her to my birthday and she used to come to my apartment all the time, so I was blown away when I received this happy birthday text.
I met Georgina in high school before I met Valerie. I have known Georgina since I was 12 years old. And she met Valerie through me, so we became to hang us 3. I always invite Georgina to activities but I never receive this energy back. She would invite Valerie but not me. So Georgina and Valerie became close friends in college and I felt pushed to the side. I had a fall off with Valerie and a few weeks later, I saw they had a party for Georgina's birthday and Georgina didn't think of inviting me. She said it was like a private party.
So fast forward to this situation. I stopped being friends with Georgina because she clearly didn't see me as one of her friends. I installed the Bumble app so I could find some new friends, which I did. I felt like I needed it to connect deeply with other people without questioning my friendship with them.
The first person I met, let's call her Florence. I met this person and she seemed really cool. We still talk but then Valerie decides to make Bumble friends as well. I explained to her that I had met this friend called Florence and I really vibed with her. Valerie matches with Florence as well and now she asks me to hang out with her and Florence, but my goal was to develop a deeper connection with one person without being in a group dynamic and I also feel like I could lose her to my friend Valerie. So I became insecure. I know, I can't gatekeep friends and I hate that I think like that, which is why I'm writing this post today.
Briefly, I'm almost at the end of the story. I met another girl on Bumble. Let's call her Dylan. Dylan is fun to be around and I can be myself with her. I was so happy that she was MY friend finally. I talked to Valerie about Dylan and Valerie confessed to me that Dylan is her type and she kinda has a crush on her. So Valerie texts her and they even go on a date and kiss. They have a huge crush on each other but then something happens & they just stop talking to each other. I start feeling more at ease and comfortable again (I know it's fuck up). Until now, they started to talk again, but as friends now and yea, I feel like I'm losing Dylan and I just want to cut the friendship and "give her" to Valerie so I don't get hurt again. I know it's weird how I think.
I'm also feeling recently because my birthday is coming soon and I don't have friends or a group of friends that I feel close to and it makes me sad that I'm gonna spend my 22th bday alone without deep connection or whatever. If that's being an adult , I don't want it 😭😭
