2023.06.10 23:31 spasticspetsnaz Holding on by my fingernails all my life (TW SA)
Sorry in advance for the length of this post, but I can't let it all just keep festering inside. Apologies for any typos.
Life has been hell lately and it's left me dwelling on something I really need to get off my chest.
When I was 12 I began being raped by a "friends" father. I won't go into all the details, but he first used coke, then eventually meth to keep me coming back. Make me willing to degrade and humiliate me in ways I can't allow myself to recall. When they surface I drink until I'm comatose.
The rape, torture and humiliation ended when I turned 14. By that time his wife had left him, taking his son along with her. To this day I don't know if I'll hug him if I see him or beat him to death.
In any case, that made him spiral, he'd always been a "functional" addict. Good at feigning normalcy while a monster his behind the mask. That mask wasn't on when I was with him. He nearly killed me strangling me with a silk scarf multiple times. Stuck needles in my feet. Between my fingers, sodomized me with objects when he was too high to rape me himself. Every session ended with him giving me something to keep me high till the next time. Like clockwork, when I ran out, I went over and he was literally expecting me.
This time was a bit different. He told me to come over the very next night. (I usually went over between 10 and midnight and snuck back in at 3 or 4. I always came in through the back patio door, but it was usually closed, unlocked, but closed. Tonight it was wide open. He didn't like me speaking unless told to, so I silently went through the house. It didn't take long to find him in the bathroom, dead. He'd overdosed. I didn't even touch his body. I just left.
I left in tears, sobbing. Because he'd fucked up my perception of love and intimacy that I genuinely thought he was my lover. Not my rapist, not my sadist.
I was saved, I was finally safe. I was also heartbroken and suicidal. When I got home, I tried to cut off my own penis with a pair of scissors but only ended up with a slice and a lot of blood. Then the detoxing started. After 2 years of stimulants and forcibly going cold turkey with only a basic understanding of what was happening to me. I was a wreck. I'd leave the house all day and just hide away from people crying in drainage ditches or off trail at a nearby park.
This all happened at the beginning of summer, by the time school started again, I was able to stay stable with the help of copious amounts of weed and Robitussin.
But it was my secret, my burden. My parents never knew, my friends never new. And I quieted the trauma by immersing myself in things that interested me. Easier to not think about yourself when your mind is focused on history, or physics, or world religions. It worked for far longer than it should have. But there was a darkness I was keeping at bay. I craved the feeling of being used, being hurt, being humiliated, being raped with no ability to fight back.
I liked women, and men, but I never pursued relationships because I could never trust myself enough to be who I wanted to be around others. Some of those friends I wanted to become lovers I pushed away and burned the bridges I had between them, all because I hated who I was, who I still am to this day.
Eventually I got sober before the drinking killed me. I opened up to my family about what happened, got therapy, got medicated. I even found kink communities I can enjoy myself at from time to time.
But in spite of all this positive progress, I still feel trapped. Destined to a life where the best I can hope for is being kinda okay most days.
Be comfortable being a deviant and damaged goods. And most of the time that's okay with me.
Now I'm not so sure. A dear member of my family nearly died and will be in the ICU for months in total before and after receiving a heart transplant. During the transplant she had a stroke and can now barely speak. It's killing my father taking care of her but he's too stoic to be vulnerable.
Then last week I got a massive amount of dental work done, 13 teeth pulled and 2 bridges. Less than a week later my backpack was stolen with the bridges inside. $3000 worth of dental work gone in an instant and it feels insignificant compared with everything else in my life.
Everything is fucked up and the world's on fire, and at times like this, all I can think of is the last time everything was fucked up and my world was on fire. I feel like I'm hanging on by my fingernails and I just want to let go. Grab a handle of vodka and jump in front of a train.
But I have a family that loves me in spite of all these scars, inside and out. I have nieces and nephews I want to watch grow up and have a normal happy life. One where there's not a monster of self destruction lurking deep inside. People I can guide away from my own mistakes, protect from the monsters that left me black inside.
But it's so hard right now. I never thought I'd say this, but I want to go back to just being depressed. Feeling nothing but emptiness is so much better than this.
So for now I just try to keep moving, day by day, hoping it gets better. I wish I was doing it for myself, but it's for all the others in my life. My mom, my father, my stepfather, all the kids in my life who I can be a positive influence on. I genuinely don't care about my own life, but I care about hurting them. But I just don't know how long that will be enough to keep me going.
Anyway, if you've read this far, thank you and I'm sorry. I'm not looking for advice. I just needed to put all this shit into words. Something about doing so helps.
To end this, all I can say is hold onto the ones you love. Sometimes they're the only ones keeping you from falling into that void. You matter to them, even when you don't matter to yourself.
That's all, Im off, I need a cigarette.

2023.06.10 23:22 dvtggg Biking in Brownsville
I recently started biking in Brownsville to run errands and commute and I just wanted to share some thoughts in case anyone else is interested in trying it out.
For disclaimer I live near the downtown area which is far more bike friendly than most of Brownsville so it may be easier for me than for you.
4 SECURITY - many options to choose from in a bike lock but just don’t get the thin cable ones if the bike is going to be out of sight since they are easily cut. At least in my opinion cutting is more the concern cause I doubt the average bike thief is really good at picking locks. Also lock it up in higher foot traffic areas.
These were my main concerns and after saying screw it and trying it out it’s not bad at all and I enjoy it much more than driving my car. Now it won’t replace my car but if I can cut out half my car trips I should save me at least 1000$ a year on gas and maintenance. It’s also a great way to get exercise without trying since you just do normal errands anyway (you get the best parking spot too when getting groceries).And it’s way more fun to ride a bike. You get fresh air and really get to experience the world around you. If anyone has any questions about trying it out I’m happy to answer any ,and I hope I can encourage others to try it out as well.

- HEAT - honestly it’s not as bad as you might think. Yes during the middle of the day you will sweat so you do have to prepare although riding you get a breeze which helps cool you off a bit. Get a hat that won’t fly off to give you some shade. As you get more adjusted to different routes you can plan which ones have more shade. Ride early morning or in the evening so it won’t be as hot. Also dress appropriately for the weather. You will also get more adjusted to the heat and it gets easier over time.
- SAFETY - pepper spray and or firearm (for me concern is more stray dogs) although I haven’t encountered a aggressive person or animal yet. Bike mirrors are essential for seeing cars coming from behind and will help a ton. Ride on sidewalks if possible and bike lanes in the few scenarios where they are. Also take side streets where traffic is slower. Also ASSUME EVERY CAR IS OUT TO KILL YOU. I don’t mean be scared but just respect that if someone runs through a stop light and is wrong ur the one who’s going to get hurt not them. So play it safe and yield to cars to be safe.

2023.06.10 23:19 mintpistachio Rust on Brake Rotors my new 2024 Crosstrek ( less than one month, 200km)
 | submitted by mintpistachio to subaru [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/k9deil11d95b1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35bbaf82298410f56a01181fbbdb36112c064f54 https://preview.redd.it/vvh74v11d95b1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf879835274a60e8f70441c323b696920f90b08b https://preview.redd.it/7hvmw221d95b1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6bb80b2a240891d6163d23bf305962e6a1d1b6f5 Hello fellow Subaru enthusiasts, I recently purchased a brand new 2024 Crosstrek, barely a month old, and am finding myself writing this post out of deep concern and disappointment. It's been less than 1,000 miles since I drove my shiny new car off the lot, and I've already spotted a disconcerting sight - rust on all four brake rotors! You read that right - rust! In a car not even a month old! While I understand that some degree of surface rust is normal, especially after rain or washing, this is neither of those cases. The car has been parked in my garage, and I live in a dry climate area. I took the car for a spin every day since I got it, keeping it active as per the advice of most car enthusiasts and experts. The troubling part is that the rust seems to be more than just surface deep. It's quite visible, and it doesn't look like it's going away after a few brake applications like it should if it were only surface rust. This is leading me to doubt the quality of Subaru's components. I've always held Subaru in high esteem for their build quality, which is why I chose to buy a Crosstrek in the first place. But this situation has left me questioning my decision. It's not just about the rust – it's about how such an issue could slip past quality control, and what other problems I might face down the line if something this fundamental was overlooked. I intend to take my car back to the dealership and raise my concern there. Meanwhile, I'm wondering if any other Subaru owners, especially those who have recently purchased a 2024 Crosstrek, have encountered similar issues? Any advice on how to approach this situation would also be appreciated. Thank you for reading. I'll keep you all updated on how this situation unfolds. Drive safe. My brand new 2024 Crosstrek is showing signs of rust on all four brake rotors. Any advice or similar experiences |
2023.06.10 23:15 bubblegum_party Safety Nearby Hospital
Hi, I'm considering a position at St. Luke's hospital, however after my visit I had concerns regarding safety based on my drive into town. I am a small woman, and I am particularly worried about the drive to/from the hospital as well as the safety of the parking garage. I drive a relatively nice car, so my concern is that would make me a target. Can anyone speak to whether they know of incidents of violence during drives into work in the area? Safety is a big priority for me when it comes to commuting and my work environment.

2023.06.10 23:10 waruineko ICEing and EV's parking without charging is out of hand
Especially at Lincoln Square garages, I used to bother to report this crap because it's worth a 124$ ticket, but it's done nothing to stop it, and most don't care enough to bother.
Hoping to start a community effort on curbing this behavior after, earlier today some guy in an old prelude parked right next to me, then when I asked him WTF, he said "it's cool, I work here"...
Does anyone at all care this is happening? Any suggestions on how to try and change this behavior?
It's an entertaining moment for them I'm sure, but rather a major inconvenience to the people who depend on those chargers. not sure what else to do but I need to do something to change this, just hoping maybe somone here might be interested in doing the same.

2023.06.10 23:10 ThrowRApas I (F30), caught feelings (M33) and wound up in a bit of a mess
So apparently my (F30) life is turning into a soap opera and I have myself to partially blame for this.
My boyfriend (M33, Henry) have been together for 9 years. We built a life together: house, pets, someday kids. We want to grow old together and love each other dearly, but there is some turbulence. We’re total polar opposites. When it works, it’s amazing. But sometimes it’s exhausting, having to work so hard on your relationship, because we are so different. A while ago we had a huge fight and for the first time I did not see a way out anymore. I told him maybe this relationship has ran it’s course and we better break up. He refused and wanted to work on us. I have to say, ever since then it does seem better. And we’re both making changes, things have calmed down.
I have a great career going on. Love my job. But. Since half a year I’ve noticed myself catching feelings for a co-worker, Zack (M33, single). Known him for like 2 years, but we never really bonded until recently (turns out, he always thought I was distant and I thought the same of him. Apparently we both have a case of resting bitch face). It started with typical work banter, then a friendship, then the type of friendship where you text each other sometimes late at night and talk about personal stuff (I never told him my relationship issues by the way). Not only is he incredibly handsome, he is smart, sensitive, funny and we have amazing chemistry. I thought it’s just a one-sided crush and will fade eventually. Besides, he told me hasn’t fallen for anyone past 5 years and he rarely even likes a girl.
I’m not proud at this (nothing physical happened, lets get that straight first. But I know I crossed a line). Last Friday, we went out with a group of co-workers. Zack, me, Julia (F25, a good workfriend of mine who just gotten out of a relationship) and some others. Eventually everyone had to go, except for Zack and I. We stayed at the bar and had the best time. The chemistry we had before, went through the roof this night. A lot of flirting and meaningful looks. Then the bar closed and we waited for a cab together. I was cold, he held me tight. It felt so good.
I was too intoxicated to drive home (parked my car near his house) and he wouldn’t let me drive anyway. So I went inside with him, only to sit on his couch to sober up. We had tea together. Then we talked until the sun came up. And it got pretty serious. No banter, no playful flirting. Just meaningful conversations about ourselves, our childhoods etc. I didn’t plan for it to happen, but I told him I developed feelings for him. And then he told me it was mutual. We were both sad about it. Because I also made it very clear, despite everything I want to work on my relationship and that’s the path I’m choosing. So nothing can ever happen between us, we will stay friends. Even if my relationship does crash and burn, I’d want to be alone for a while. He understood. And he never tried to make a move, except for silently staring into my eyes sometimes which made me uncomfortable AF because all of the butterflies. We didn’t want the night to end but I felt like I really had to leave when it was 6.30AM. We hugged goodbye at the door, but it was a long and loaded hug. He held me tight, I had my head on his shoulders and for a moment I could feel lifetime with him flashing by. If things were different. I still get butterflies thinking back about it. He only let go when I let go. And then I drove away. It felt like I just broken up with him, even though we never started.
I still love Henry. I don’t want to throw our life away. But I think I’m also in love with Zack. And to make matters even more complicated, because fuck me and my karma, Julia just texted me that she’s starting to like Zack. He has been extra nice to her ever since she had the breakup. But I know how Zack thinks of her, he said she’s like his little sister. Except obviously I can’t tell her that. The irony is that she wants my advice about this. (Absolutely no one knows about Zack and me, I plan to keep it that way.) What the hell should I say, don’t bother because he already likes someone else aka me?!
I’m just so done with this. I used to joke: I love drama when it doesn’t involves me. Look at me now. My whole life has been unproblematic and dramafree so I don’t know how to deal with this. And frankly, I feel too old to be caught up in this stupid love pentagon. There’s so much to unpack and I have all these feelings flying around giving me anxiety. Guilt, desire, frustration, doubts. Where do I go from here?
TLDR: want to fight for my 9yo relationship, despite secretly falling in love for a co-workefriend, Zack, and he’s falling for me too. Add into the mix that another co-workefriend just confessed to me that she’s starting to like Zack.

2023.06.10 22:58 MonkFancy481 what is wrong with my sister?
I am wondering about my sister so I can gain a better understanding. I am currently upset and am aware of this. Here's a bit of background about our family. My dad gave no positive attention to my sister, or me growing up, he is a control freak, he did nothing with us as children other than go shopping, or to the park as a family a few times, and family vacations to the same boring location over and over again (he is scared of change). My mum spent her life with my dad, unhappy, trapped, and controlled, and has to deal with him getting drunk every night. My mum is nice, simple minded though, and is so placid and easy going (both of her parents left her when she was very young and then she met my dad) but she did nothing about it and put up with it, even though she lives in misery in front of negative UK tv drama shows in the evening, while my dad drinks his vodka and repeats himself, whilst pausing the tv to comment to the room every so often!. They have no friends, at 73 my dad is still drinking a bottle of vodka a day, and it shows. His temper is terrible. If I give a list of things that I've noticed about my sister, how might she be diagnosed? I am on vacation with her at the moment and it's not going well. I am very sensitive, which doesn't help in dealing with her, here are some things that have happened, and some traits of hers that have hurt me in the past, I am wondering what might be going on. - she is very judgemental, and doesn't think about the big picture, and where her judgements might be coming from. - she is controlling (kind of like my dad who is a control freak. Over the years, even though she knows my dad is explosive, she hasn't given up, she'll push, and say things she know will really offend him, where as I would think, OK I know how this is going to go, avoid at all costs, she'll still go there and end up in a fight with him. - when my friend died in a motorcycle accident, I told her he wasn't happy in life for various reasons, and she responded with 'well maybe it's good that he passed away'. - today my foot was hurting and I needed a band aid. we were heading to get on a boat in spain, I asked her to wait for me while I got a band aid. So when I get back 3 mins later, she's gone, and has taken my mum with her t find the boat boarding area. I panicked and looked around, went in the wrong direction, got really stressed, she basically went to board the boat without me and tried giving me directions there. I was clear about where I was going and that i'd be back in a minute, but she had to leave to get the boat, which I found selfish and inconsiderate, we had enough time. Having no ticket, no idea what the name of the boat she had bought tickets for, anxiety, and feeling abandonment, I gave her a peace of my mind when I found her and told her you don't leave your family - your brother, when he's asked you to wait a minute. We are in a new country in a busy part with boats EVERYWHERE in all directions.Not that its relevant, but my mum chimes in with 'you shouldn't have wondered off!!!'. argh! - my sister is clumsy, quite ego based, and seems to think highly of herself but in an ego way. - she can't drive a car, she failed her test over 20 times before giving up, which deep inside I felt, that if she did drive she would crash. - I once taught my sister how to double click on a mouse, and she couldn't do it. - she is heavy footed, and has a bad knee as a result (stomps about a bit) - she can be nice in offering water, food, and making nice gestures, but after she does something more serious, like leave me ditched, I find it hard to accept these gestures immediately afterwood, although she is trying, I just have a knee jerk reaction where I want to be left alone. - she doesn't seem to consider me properly. she does in a surface level type way. but even this trip, i'd asked her to include me. she books it, then tells me after, I reluctantly buy my tickets too, even though the hotels only offer 2 beds, and no 3 beds, so it's quite expensive for me. - she isn't smart mentally at playing board games, or sports. - she is unhappy with her weight (been dieting forever since young) always talks about my mums weight, what my mum is eating, and judges. -Once I took my top off a few years back, I was in shape (not overweight anyway) and she grinned and looked me up and down, not in a pervy way, but in a judgemental way, and I find it hard relaxing, knowing the judgements might be there. - she is VERY animated. She is usually either frowning or has a weird look on her face, she wears her inside on the outside. I will say, that I have a bit of this also. but nowhere near as bad. - she has had cognative behavioural therapy a long time ago and found it beneficial, but I think that she needs more, she didnd't follow up with any of this type stuff after it seems like a wasted effort (although maybe not) - Once I huffed because she asked me to get something after a long day and I had just sat down, I was tired, and she exploded in rage. Creaming somewhat like a demon. Or george castanza's father, if you know who this character is! - This was taught by my dad (blasting if the conversation doesn't go his way) and she resorts to this sometimes and it's akward and when she does I just cave and leave it it's too much. I grew out of this in my early 20's after being away from my father for the last 20 years, and I'm happy I did because I know it's abusive behavior and unacceptable. - She does try to make amends, but again it just feels like... after the treatment I've had enough... and I'm stuck on vacation with her sitting in my hotel room because i've had enough of it for a day (feeling like a loser over here with some guilt because I am not handling her very well). - She isn't good with riding bikes, her motor skills seem ok at first glance, but she is pretty clumsy. One the way here, she almost sent my mums luggage to france, instead of spain. - she has never saved for a home. she spends her money on vacations, multuple vacations every year. - With this vacation, she doesn't appreciate I've spent 5000 on the trip. And planned everything, asking me if iher plans are OK, but really, she knows what she wants to do and will get v upset if I interfear. I did suggest a town I wanted to visit, which she quickly shot down. She does however say we can pick a day to do all the things she wants, and asks me what I want to do sometimes, but I feel reluctant to want to work with her because it feels like we are not playing on an even playing field to begin with, so I just give up and do what she wants because it feels crappy. - My 19 y/o daughter doesn't appreciate her meatheadedness and didn't want to come on the trip because of her, which I understood and didn't give her a hard time over. She has hung out with her before and finds her mental behavior annoying. - She calls herself a crazy cat lady!! proudly and strangley! - after some drinks recently at a family gathering, after a few drinks, she shouted / proclaimed in a proud angry righteous way 'I"M A CRAZY CAT LADY AND I DONT F'INGGGG CARE'. I just looked at her stone cold sober like... j christ... (she has two cats and likes to pet random cats like most cat lovers do. - She is very surface level. Somewhat obvlivious, I am more of a deep thinker, much more empathetic and thoughtful when it comes to others, which makes being around her difficult. I am really into self awareness, because i've had a lot to work through. Although I know this isn't about me (this is where the part of being being upset is probably not keeping me on topic). - She is narrow minded at the best of times. I realise some of the above might seem laughable. Doing my best to paint a picture, and probably venting as well. I am familiar with narcism, but I am hoping for a more accurate idea of what might be going on, obviously I won't take it firmly as a diagnosis, but I am just wondering what could be going on with her mentally, is she on the spectrum or something else?

2023.06.10 22:53 NewGamePlusMinus The Zelda Timeline Convergence
I've seen this downvoted and disregarded by the entire reddit community many times, but it's the simplest answer- BotW and TotK take place in a convergence of all three timelines.
The idea is that when Link used time travel in OoT to defeat Ganondorf, it created three timelines (Fallen Hero, Adult, Child).
there's items from all the games with a map that most closely resembles that of Link to the Past. Even the twilight tunic says it still has Wolf Hair on it.
A good example would be the Marvel show 'Loki'. Time in these scenarios has frayed into multiple timelines and the main focus is to converge multiple ones into one common future, correcting the split and the mistakes of the past- The major one being the time travel of Ocarina of Time inadvertently creating multiple timelines including a timeline where Link is defeated by Ganondorf.
-A very close resemblance to Link to the Pasts map, altered, with areas from even Link's Awakening (Koholint Island/Koholit Rock)
-Link can Hum Saria's song, Song of Storms and others from Ocarina at times while cooking food-Ritos (Windwaker) alongside Gorons (Ocarina), Koroks (Windwaker), Gerudos (Ocarina) and Zoras (Friendly Zora's rather than "Fallen Hero" timeline where the Zoras are pretty monstrous.
-Wind Waker's cell shading and semblance of the hero in Blue rather than Green.-Items from the past like the Twilight Tunic, Majora's Mask, Midna's Headpiece, Ocarina's Tunic, Bomb Flowers, etc.
Most Zelda fans aren't taking well to this model and have been theorizing many things to reason these congruences, but all signs point to "All Paths Converge" and that Time itself finds a way to correct itself. If it were a reboot, It wouldn't go to lengths to not just reference past games, but refer to them as events that had happened in the past leading up to now.
In Philosophy we call this "Occam's Razor" or "The Law of Parsimony": Solving problems in the simplest way with the fewest elements possible rather than the complications that arise from trying to force things to make sense in a knotted and convoluted manner.
I've seen posts about the games taking place in a fourth timeline, taking place near OoT, Being a Soft/Hard Reboot, and to be honest, none of these theories exist without conflicting with both the narrative and the worlds of BotW/TotK. We know the events of "Legend" clearly repeat and reiterate themselves throughout the series with new ways of iterating tropes and cycles, so why would it be so hard to believe that *All Paths have Lead to One*?
In Probability, all Events will inevitably lead to One event given enough Trial. For Instance, The Infinite Monkey Theorem Poses the idea that if you put a Monkey in front of a Typewriter for an infinite amount of time and let it hit random keys over that infinite time, eventually it will produce all the written work created by the human race- including but not limited to the entirety of William Shakespeare's work -however, the chance of it is so small that it would take an amount of time beyond that of the creation of the universe till the present.
-If this Theory does not Jive well with you, look no further than The Library of Babel, a Project created to prove this theorem is concrete. Every possibility of every character on a page exists within the Library of Babel (Which was created by Randomized Generation) including ever book and every essay or piece of literature or writing every created (or has yet to be created) and also contains every possible iteration of every image and beyond ever conceived, seen or dreamt up. Go ahead and plug in an image and you'll find that it already exists within the Library of Babel- Even a Random photo you may take at this very moment.With that said, we don't know how many hundreds of thousands if not millions or billions of years it has been from BotW to time predating Skyward Sword.
TL;DR- The Proof is in the Pudding: It is very unlikely that BotW's timeline exists in a 4th timeline, exists without a timeline, is a reboot or otherwise. In the words of Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park, "Life... um... finds a way."

2023.06.10 22:49 Janglesh [F4F] Where Man Dares Not Go (Greek mythology Amazon roleplay)
Alessa loved the summer. The little place where she’d been born and raised was a boring, sleepy tree village that was all too peaceful and quiet for the young woman. Not to mention filled with the elderly and hardly populated with anyone her own age.
They lived on the edges of the land where the House of Artemis resided but Alessa had never got to really be free like her other sisters of Artemis.
Things were different when summer hit. Every year she made the pilgrimage to the capital Themyscira City for its’ countless summer festivals, all incredibly elaborate and bustling with tourists. Her first year as an adult also meant it was the first year where she could make this trek on her own and really enjoy the festivities to their fullest.
Thousands of women from all over the massive continent flocked to the capital during this time; it was always so exciting seeing all of the children playing in the rolling hills and large fields outside the city walls.
Not to mention all of the important High Priestesses and other officials who’d arrive to Themyscira City with their legions of Priestesses and other followers.
If you were lucky, you’d maybe get to see an Immortal too. Only Demi-Gods, as the Gods didn’t simply let mere mortals bask in their presence. Though considering that they were the original Amazons it was still incredibly exciting.
And in any case, the diversity of the city mixed with the diversity in tourists tended to make the Amazons forget about the…tensions between the various Houses of Themyscira.
Themyscira had once been a place to get away from the wars and squabbles of the gods, but after hundreds of thousands of years of development the continent was split between regions ruled by the different political Houses, each devoted to their own God or Goddess. Even the mortals were all descended from the Gods original creations, so Alessa supposed this made some sense.
But things had been getting worse over the past hundred years and the capital was like a powder keg even during joyous times such as these.
Alessa parked her pegasus Percy about a hundred yards from the front gates of the city, a heavy sigh left her lips as she hopelessly gazed at the hordes of people orderly making their way through the gates. Ugh, it’d probably be hours before she could get in.
She’d hoped she could have gotten there early but Percy’s wings had gone tired. Even then, he found it more fun to prance through the hills and Alessa had to chase him around for nearly a half hour.
“Ugh, this is wonderful. I’d be eating Tarhkaran Squid or watching the Daughters of Artemis marksman contest if we could only just fly over the walls. We’d likely get shot down.” The raven haired young woman rolled off Percy and collapsed onto the soft grass.
Only after a moment of rest was she suddenly greeted by the sound of heavy, thunderous steps. The Warrior Caste that belonged to Argos, home to the House of Ares. Alessa quickly jumped onto Percy and the frightened horse squealed as it pushed itself several dozen feet into the air to avoid the marching battalion of soldiers.
Their carriages were carried by several massive, gnarling beasts that were practically treated as pets where they were from. This was always the most intimidating part of the summer festivities to Alessa, representatives from the various Warrior Castes would gather together in the capital as a show of peace.
Amazons had once been a tribe of exclusively warriors in the early days, but things changed once they’d removed themselves from the violent and warmongering ways of man. For the most part.
She gazed in awe at the hardened soldiers. Black steel armor. Helmets that shrouded their faces. Blades and spears heavier than a normal person could reasonably carry. And glowing with various enchantments.
“Wh-whoa!” Alessa managed to gasp. The entire crowd of civilians parted to let the warriors through.
The Warrior Castes only seemed to show up to the capital more armed every year. She was surprised the Argosians hadn’t come with twice the artillery as anyone else just to flex their might. There really was something eery in the air this year. Some even called for the cancellation of the festivals this year. Alessa truly hoped her suspicions wouldn’t come to fruition.
………….
Hello everyone! You can call me Janglesh. My timezone is PST, I’m a 23 year old multi para writer looking to worldbuild a greek mythology setting taking place on Themyscira, home of the Amazons!
This is an idea that I’ve been really craving to explore and flesh out with someone who loves worldbuilding just as much as I do! I left aspects of the world and culture and plot a bit open so we can come up with things together, and everything is also up to change if you have your own ideas! I’d really love to contribute to this world equally with someone and conjure up a setting and story that’ll really set our imaginations on fire!
The basic setup is that thousands of years ago, the original Amazons created their own realm to get away from the war between the Gods over who controlled the human realm. Themyscira is home to only women, the descendents of the original Amazons. It is a massive, fantastical realm full of amazing creatures and magic gifted to them by the Gods.
It’s divided into several regions, each controlled by worshippers of each God. Things have been peaceful but lately there’s been growing tension.
I’d love for this to have an ensemble cast, I enjoy having multiple character types working off of each other and trying out different dynamics. Obviously we’d still each have mains that we focus on, though.
General Requirements:
•Be an adult. The roleplay will be sfw, but I’m pretty uncomfortable with writing with someone who’s not an adult.
•Be interested in conversing and discussing the roleplay, as well as mutual collaboration. Collaborating and brainstorming together makes the rp so much more fun! OOC chatter is also appreciated.
•Be detailed and multi para.
•Be willing to write multiple characters, I will do the same. We’ll have mains, but I love having side characters and stuff to make the world and story feel more three dimensional and fleshed out.
And that’s it!
DM me and we can discuss the plot and characters! Thanks for reading.

Hello everyone! You can call me Janglesh. My timezone is PST, I’m a 23 year old multi para writer looking to worldbuild a greek mythology setting taking place on Themyscira, home of the Amazons!
This is an idea that I’ve been really craving to explore and flesh out with someone who loves worldbuilding just as much as I do! I left aspects of the world and culture and plot a bit open so we can come up with things together, and everything is also up to change if you have your own ideas! I’d really love to contribute to this world equally with someone and conjure up a setting and story that’ll really set our imaginations on fire!
The basic setup is that thousands of years ago, the original Amazons created their own realm to get away from the war between the Gods over who controlled the human realm. Themyscira is home to only women, the descendents of the original Amazons. It is a massive, fantastical realm full of amazing creatures and magic gifted to them by the Gods.
It’s divided into several regions, each controlled by worshippers of each God. Things have been peaceful but lately there’s been growing tension.
I’d love for this to have an ensemble cast, I enjoy having multiple character types working off of each other and trying out different dynamics. Obviously we’d still each have mains that we focus on, though.
General Requirements:
•Be an adult. The roleplay will be sfw, but I’m pretty uncomfortable with writing with someone who’s not an adult.
•Be interested in conversing and discussing the roleplay, as well as mutual collaboration. Collaborating and brainstorming together makes the rp so much more fun! OOC chatter is also appreciated.
•Be detailed and multi para.
•Be willing to write multiple characters, I will do the same. We’ll have mains, but I love having side characters and stuff to make the world and story feel more three dimensional and fleshed out.
And that’s it!
DM me and we can discuss the plot and characters! Thanks for reading.
2023.06.10 22:48 Janglesh [F4F] Where Man Dares Not Go (Greek mythology Amazon roleplay)
Alessa loved the summer. The little place where she’d been born and raised was a boring, sleepy tree village that was all too peaceful and quiet for the young woman. Not to mention filled with the elderly and hardly populated with anyone her own age.
They lived on the edges of the land where the House of Artemis resided but Alessa had never got to really be free like her other sisters of Artemis.
Things were different when summer hit. Every year she made the pilgrimage to the capital Themyscira City for its’ countless summer festivals, all incredibly elaborate and bustling with tourists. Her first year as an adult also meant it was the first year where she could make this trek on her own and really enjoy the festivities to their fullest.
Thousands of women from all over the massive continent flocked to the capital during this time; it was always so exciting seeing all of the children playing in the rolling hills and large fields outside the city walls.
Not to mention all of the important High Priestesses and other officials who’d arrive to Themyscira City with their legions of Priestesses and other followers.
If you were lucky, you’d maybe get to see an Immortal too. Only Demi-Gods, as the Gods didn’t simply let mere mortals bask in their presence. Though considering that they were the original Amazons it was still incredibly exciting.
And in any case, the diversity of the city mixed with the diversity in tourists tended to make the Amazons forget about the…tensions between the various Houses of Themyscira.
Themyscira had once been a place to get away from the wars and squabbles of the gods, but after hundreds of thousands of years of development the continent was split between regions ruled by the different political Houses, each devoted to their own God or Goddess. Even the mortals were all descended from the Gods original creations, so Alessa supposed this made some sense.
But things had been getting worse over the past hundred years and the capital was like a powder keg even during joyous times such as these.
Alessa parked her pegasus Percy about a hundred yards from the front gates of the city, a heavy sigh left her lips as she hopelessly gazed at the hordes of people orderly making their way through the gates. Ugh, it’d probably be hours before she could get in.
She’d hoped she could have gotten there early but Percy’s wings had gone tired. Even then, he found it more fun to prance through the hills and Alessa had to chase him around for nearly a half hour.
“Ugh, this is wonderful. I’d be eating Tarhkaran Squid or watching the Daughters of Artemis marksman contest if we could only just fly over the walls. We’d likely get shot down.” The raven haired young woman rolled off Percy and collapsed onto the soft grass.
Only after a moment of rest was she suddenly greeted by the sound of heavy, thunderous steps. The Warrior Caste that belonged to Argos, home to the House of Ares. Alessa quickly jumped onto Percy and the frightened horse squealed as it pushed itself several dozen feet into the air to avoid the marching battalion of soldiers.
Their carriages were carried by several massive, gnarling beasts that were practically treated as pets where they were from. This was always the most intimidating part of the summer festivities to Alessa, representatives from the various Warrior Castes would gather together in the capital as a show of peace.
Amazons had once been a tribe of exclusively warriors in the early days, but things changed once they’d removed themselves from the violent and warmongering ways of man. For the most part.
She gazed in awe at the hardened soldiers. Black steel armor. Helmets that shrouded their faces. Blades and spears heavier than a normal person could reasonably carry. And glowing with various enchantments.
“Wh-whoa!” Alessa managed to gasp. The entire crowd of civilians parted to let the warriors through.
The Warrior Castes only seemed to show up to the capital more armed every year. She was surprised the Argosians hadn’t come with twice the artillery as anyone else just to flex their might. There really was something eery in the air this year. Some even called for the cancellation of the festivals this year. Alessa truly hoped her suspicions wouldn’t come to fruition.

2023.06.10 22:48 stonk_in_my_sock Itinerary Check - 22 Days in July/August 2023
Hi All -
We are a couple from Midwest USA who are visiting Japan from July 10th to August 1st. It will be my 2nd time to Japan, and my partner's first. I am including a bit from my first time in Japan, but a lot of new things as well - my first time was over 10 years ago and I was only able to spend a week, so merely scratched the surface compared to this go-around. Our itinerary has been scheduled so that we can hopefully be a part of some celebrations for different festivals going on: Mitama Matsuri in Tokyo, Gion Matsuri in Kyoto, and Tenjin Matsuri in Osaka. I have plotted most of this out on Google maps to form this itinerary that I think should work out, however, I am open to any help/suggestions I can get! One of my main concerns would be having something scheduled on a day it is closed, or having something scheduled on a bad day of the week, too late in the day, etc. and not knowing until we get there. I appreciate any assistance I can get, especially getting as close to our departure date as we are. Here is what I have planned so far (questions at the end):

- HND>LAX>DFW
- Questions:
- Would I receive luggage same day or next in Tokyo on the first leg? (from airport to hotel)
- Does Pokemon Center on the way out of Hiroshima on the 23rd make sense, or should I just get this out of the way on the 22nd? If I do it on the 22nd, I assume I should wait until after the museums?
- Do I have enough time for the stop off in Nagoya on the 26th? Should I make the effort to do this, or is it not worth it in the grand scheme of things?
- Any recommendations for my open day in Kyoto on the 21st?
- Do you think I will have enough time for Anraku-ji and Reikan-ji on the 16th? Should I make a great effort to make time for these two?
- Do you think I should go to Kamigamo-jinja on the 18th?
- Where else would you recommend that I go in Kamakura on the 30th, or do I have a full plate already with the 3 I have listed?
- Am I able to TA-Q-BIN luggage to airport too, or do I just need to haul it with me? Good chance of having 2 checked bags each on the way back (4 total).
- What days would you say are too packed, and what would you remove from them?
- Any other places I should go to maximize my festival experiences? Should I try to devote more times to these areas also, as opposed to the other items on my itinerary for those days?
- Any recommendations for doing laundry in Kyoto? It will be the only hotel we're staying at that does not have washedryer. A laundry service or something is preferable, we probably won't want to stick around and do laundry.
2023.06.10 22:48 teddy_vedder Anyone know what’s going on near the cove at Concord Park?
I pulled up to go read for a while at the park but aborted mission when I saw two fire trucks, two ambulances, cop cars, wildlife resource vehicles, a news van, and a helicopter circling. Hopefully everyone is okay.

2023.06.10 22:45 sesame-yeezy 10 days later and it all feels so surreal still. how & why? i’m not sure i’ll ever have enough closure or answers. maybe i’m just too stubborn to want them too, idk
first off, i’m sorry in advance for posting so much in here. this place has been so lovely to vent & just tell Keegan’s story. it makes the loss feel a tiny bit less unbearable hearing all your stories as well. although i’d never wish this on anyone
Keegan passed away, rather suddenly, on June 1. i have detailed posts on my page of the timeline of events if anyone is interested in hearing more. i also wanted to link Keegan’s last report from the ER in case there’s anyone else out there who finds some relief in seeing and hearing what happened from a strictly scientific/veterinary standpoint, emotions aside. it looks like a scammy link but it’s the easiest way to share a PDF file: https://beige-franny-63.tiiny.site
the biggest questions i’m grappling with nearly a week and half later are, how & why?
how did this happen? Keegan was in incredible shape with no known cancers, ailments, etc. (besides some arthritis). hours before he started feeling unwell, he was 100% himself. and i can’t exaggerate that enough. how could in less than 20 hours could he go from just your typical senior dog to having to be put down?
if you don’t want to or haven’t read the report, essentially the neurologist was highly suspicious of a tumor within his brain that ruptured and was the cause of his rapid decline, & passing.
typing that out seems too surreal. he had a tumor in his brain that ruptured? how? even more head scratching (from my perspective of thinking he was indestructible) was he exhibited no symptoms, beyond PU/PD (excess thrust and urination) that we got treated by an internal specialist. from suspected Cushing’s disease, to diabetes insipidus, to chalking it up to “psychogenic reasons” (i.e, behavioral / mental health). we found a solution that worked. they were called DDAVP eyedrops that really gave him and us such a better quality of life these past ~2 years of his life.
but beyond that, he never showed any signs of the tumor. no seizures, no weakness in limbs, no abnormal behaviors, NOTHING! we spent Memorial Day weekend (just mere days before) walking him in parks, taking him on a picnic without an ounce of worry something was wrong.
so how could he got from his happy, curious, lovey self to death so suddenly? i did speak to his neurologist & she explained that the growth likely grew too large or even ruptured and basically led to a rapid decline. but just like that? one second he’s fine and the next it’s ruptured? i know she’s the expert who spent hundreds of thousands of dollar on her education and dedicated her life to animals, even more so with a speciality in neurology, but it just seems so unfair. and maybe because he was (and still is) the center of universes, it’ll always seem unfair. he likely couldn’t survive through an MRI or potential radiation and we had to end his suffering.
and my next question is, why? why did it have to end like this? he was 16 and lived a beautiful, long life, but we weren’t done yet. we had so much planned for the summer and beyond. why did the tumor have to rupture/bleed/spread them? he didn’t deserve that. i always thought about the end of his life as he got older in an anticipatory way, but NEVER in my life would i suspect this is how and why’d he’d go.
i know i should listen to the doctors. i spoke to his neurologist, his primary doc, a different ER doc, and even a few vets on here who have the same conclusion— there’s nothing you could’ve done more. but for some reason, i cannot accept that answer. is it my grief? probably yeah, but i feel like i have to keep chasing the answer, for him. you might think “well you have your answer right?” and logic says yes, but my heart is thinking something else had to have happened. it couldn’t be a brain tumor that was seemingly dormant for nearly 2 years. it just doesn’t add up, right?
idk, i feel like i’m losing it and everyone in my life has to keep giving me reassurance. but this vicious cycle of guilt, regret, & “what ifs” is eating me alive. i am seeking professional help to help navigate this & also am starting a support group later this week. i’m trying my best, but truthfully nothing will be able to satisfy this hole in my heart and soul. with every fiber of my being, i love Keegan so much and always will, until the day i go. i just need him to know we did everything we could for him and i hope he doesn’t feel like we failed him.
if you’ve read this post yet again. thank you, and thank you for this community existing to let us vent as freely and as vulnerably as possible. ❤️

 | Found these at a dog park near some eucalyptus trees. They’re fairly dried out but some appear to have blueish bruising. Any ideas given the state it’s in? submitted by EyeMustBeTrippin to ShroomID [link] [comments] |
2023.06.10 22:36 WiscOrangy [NV] Bike stolen from apartment garage, entrance door has been broke for weeks
I live in a multi-story apt complex, where the first floor is entirely a parking garage. The entrance to this garage is supposed to be RFID controlled, so only tenants can access. However the entrance door has been broken for weeks (at least 3). I have seen a maintenance person working on it multiple times, but for that time the door has been opened indefinitely, so anyone can access.
Last night I parked in my spot, backed in against the wall because I had my bike ($2000+ mkt value) on a bike rack on my trunk. I parked so that there was no gap to remove the bike, if a malicious actor would try to. However, I came to my car this morning to my bike being gone, with the rack being jostled to get access.
Presumably if someone in the building stole it, cameras will catch them (we have more cameras in the building than the garage), however if police/video proves that a non-resident stole via entering through this broken door, do I have any legal backing for negligence of the landlord? I'm assuming I am out of luck in this scenario, but am checking my options.

2023.06.10 22:24 Appropriate_Day_6969 can i come back ?2021
I am talking about 2021, I always remember how beautiful those days were, my friends, our old house, I, I wish to go back that night when it rained and my friends and I slept on the ground because of fatigue, I used to leave the house at 4 in the afternoon and enter the house at 2 in the morning, I used to go With my friends, we go to eat in the restaurant near our house, then we wear skateboards, play and wander everywhere, nothing else is louder than the sound of music and the sound of our laughter, I remember my old school and how my personality was, my only friend I always drew during class time and I had imaginary friends that I used to be I come back from school and go to sleep and go out to enjoy our time with my friends as usual, and then I wake up in the morning, read my homework and go to school. I really wish I could go back!! Now my friends are not here, I moved from our old house, I threw the skate roll, I lost contact with my friends, I moved to a second school .. Really, all I can imagine is that another child's toys in my closet collapsed! I want to see that abandoned car parked in the corner of the branch, and I want to see that tree that we always thought was damned because it had little red dots on it, I want to go to that terrifying branch that my mother used to scold me for, and I want to want the kitchen of our house, my old room, The house is filled with the sound of the echo of strangers now, perhaps they have changed the furniture and painted the walls.., a step outside the threshold of the door, I realize then that it is not our home anymore..

2023.06.10 22:16 Ok_Put9573 New to Hyderabad... Looks perfect for foodie like me
Weekends mostly are not planned specially for me but sometimes crazy thing happens
Since it was raining for sometime today, we were finding new places suddenly comes palm arabiana near RGI airport. A tour of the restaurant is worth if you are totally bored by seeing only cemented infrastructures. Palm arabiana is an open place with almost everything from food to entertainment park, cricket and football ground, Go karting.

2023.06.10 22:13 dingdumpling Street Parking near greenlake and roosevelt
Hello! I am moving to seattle soon and was debating whether or not i should bring my car. im pretty conveniently situated near the 1 line so a car isnt absolutely necessary for work, but i would love to have it for excursions/hiking/skiing etc. how much of a nightmare is it to do street parking/other parking alternatives?
