I shave my facial hair a lot and about to start shaving my leg, arm, and body hair, but are there better ways?
And is there any way to get rid of them for long or permanently?
I’ve researched about Veet hair removal cream but people say that it causes skin discoloration in the long term.
Thank you!

I just finished a bag I was SO proud of using the bonded nylon thread (which were significantly cheaper than the lin cable linen threads) and thought maybe it was time to break out the lin cable I was saving up for when I got good enough. The stitches looked so bad and seemed to cut(?) into the leather despite me (I think) using the same amount of pressure and just overall inconsistent. Has anyone else experienced this or are there different things to do depending on different thread types?
​
Appreciate any help in advance!

The last half dozen times I log in to play a little I'm getting roped in ranked like half of the time and I barely have time to play lately... I just concede it's Plat I don't even care it's just so annoying is everyone really such a massive sore loser now? I don't even understand why people are so salty I never play meta/net decks just random lists I throw together messing around but game after game I'm getting roped at every possible phase the second they are in an unwinnable position. There's gotta be some kind of algorithm they could implement that detects habitual ropers and hand out temporary bans or something it's kind of getting out of hand worst than It's ever been for me anyways. Also, it would be amazing if when I search for a card my client doesn't freeze up or crash half the time I would think that would be fixable also. Maybe I'm the only one experiencing these two things I dunno.

Hey all I’m having a nightmare, I’m a size 9.5 with wide feet and my old faithful mecurial vapours are knackered. Most of the boots I try give me black toenail, I love new mercurial vapours but my big toenail presses on the top of the boot. It’s excruciating, if I go up to a size 10 then they’re comfy but there is too much space at the end. Is there a boot that comes up small in a 10 or wide fitting in a 9.5? I’ve tried predators and puma futures, not tried new balance yet. Any advice appreciated, Thank you!

Hi, are there any infomation about the routines a pilot has to do while landing in a spaceport or landing dock? Not the skill-checks, but rather the admin stuff. E.g. check of the licence, fee's that are charged, BoSS registration...
Any Idea's?
BR!

Doesn’t necessarily have to be unique to the US, but are there things common here that you really enjoy? Not talking about big things like systems of government or anything. Two that come to mind for me are lots of ice in my drink and the abundance of restaurants from all different cuisines.

My husband has always been heavier. We’ve know each other since we were kids. He gained a lot of weight after high school and the highest he ever was he got to 425 last year. He started doing low carb and really making an effort in January of this year to lose weight and get healthier when his blood work came back saying pre diabetic.
Last weight check he was 381 and that was in April.
He asked me to feel his back yesterday because he felt stronger after a gym session and felt like he worked harder than normal. I said it does feel firmer but the left side feels a little softer. I asked if he was favoring his right side. He said he didn’t think so.
This morning he texts me and says I was right his whole right side is weaker, even his arms and legs. He’s always had a really rough time with body image. And lately if he’s feeling a little bloated or doesn’t stick to low carb he is convinced he has gained the weight back and he’s fat and gross and he was “bad” for eating off diet.
We bought some new clothes because all his old clothes are to big now and when they got washed they shrank a little. He jumped to he gained the weight back. If he misses the gym for to many days he spirals and feels so disgusted with himself and becomes anxious and insecure.
He looks at his body in the mirror, mentioning all the things that are to big or things he needs to “fix”.
I’m really worried for his mental health. He was in therapy but it didn’t work out with that therapist and it got confusing for him to get another so he gave up but he was doing much better when he was doing it.
He said he’s gonna try again to get a therapist and get back into talk therapy.
How can I help him? We have an 8MO and he is on his moms gym membership and they don’t allow guests so I can’t work out with him. I try to support him with cooking and shopping low carb. I praise him and encourage and support him as much as I can.
What else can I do? What should I avoid doing or saying?
There’s no doubt he needs to get healthier but I’m afraid that in the process he is going to get very negatively focused on his body. Instead of seeing the progress he will nitpick and only see the things he feels need to be “fixed”
I love him the way he is and I always have. I’m gonna be 27 in august, we’ve know each other for 14, almost 15 years! I loved him then. I love him now. At every weight and stage. I do what I know when it comes to support and encouragement but for something like this is there a better way? Is there something I could be doing better?

its very much like the eastern religions ego trap in fact you could use the idea verbatim on this post but essentially its the same thing. both ridiculous ideologies actually trap you into what they say the seek to elevate you from but it never works , does it?
ive just cross posted my op on the ego trap if you missed it in the soul nexus sub.
lets be painfully obvious satans christianity doesnt and never has liberated anyone, constantine and every other revisionist made sure of that. what is appalling is that people believe the canonized idiocy.
What they fail to tell you is youre inviting spirits in through the mind and then they say hey you sinner your sin, God forbid they ever expose their own "sins" or preferred demon spirits they rationalize by being imperfect.
Rest and recharge time as the story goes i share some and get more visions but Gods got a hankering for breaking this one bigly, you foul fake shepherds who are imprisoners of the mind and feeders of demons through suffering.
As i sit and wait for more inspired info and receive it i'm using swear words, a bit hypocritical you say? The anger about the false teaching, the imprisoning of minds and the enslavement of the entire earth should anger everyone and in a vision/s a few years back it will, in fact. make people uproarious when they find out how theyve been tricked.
All things wicked are under satans charge alone and ALL are delivered by spirits into the mind. <<< 1 Corinthians 12:10
10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
https://www.jollynotes.com/joyful-living/bible-verses-about-guarding-your-mind-guard-your-mind-quotes-bible-verses-about-protecting-your-mind/
I wouldnt be surprised if Jesus actually addressed the mind being a portal to spirits and it was altered or taken out.
1 Corinthians 12:8-10
8 To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
These gifts are here among us except in the churches it is due to our oneness in God and Christ. The fact is you cant remove this from us BECAUSE of that oneness. If youre busy condemning yourself for satans antics through spirits as churches reiterate so often as being the necessity to realize that it is YOU and not satan and his spirits, Demons feed on the misery caused and you remain a slave out of helplessness.
THE FACT IS !!!! Christ in us is the teaching , the presence the path the knowledge in God that we are ONE with, there is no call for a heretic a false prophet or some hidden hand of satan to grab congregations from all being one with God !! except that men are filled with bad spirits and either knowingly or ignorantly feed demonic spirits through your acquiescence to them as a go between which is literally placing man above God.
Where the rubber hits the road is that all good things from love are Gods presence in you and all things not love are demonic spirits vying for presence and too often control of your mind. You think you need an intermediary? that would be a false assumption. When you treat these things as entities , that is all things not love, it weakens them they become seen and can be done away with.

I have cauliflowers nearing maturity and they've been wilting every day with a clear nitrogen deficiency, even after generous waterings and granular fertilizer. Turns out the soil underneath the top 1" is bone-dry. The grow bags are 25 gallons with 3 cauliflowers in each one... I can't bottom water these. Additionally, my driveway is somewhat on a slant. I have nowhere else in my entire property that gets any sun besides the driveway, so I have no other place to put them. I didn't think it would be that much of an issue, but clearly the water is not soaking into the grow bags, but rather just running off the top. I've been out there for 3 hours watering slowly and the water is still not soaking in. If I put bricks underneath the part of the pot that slants downward, it then slants back the OTHER direction. I've even tried putting the water on full blast with the head of the sprayer in the soil and trying to "inject" it into the soil, but it only works for the immediate area I've dug up and I'm destroying their roots. I have no idea what to do, but I'm so upset. Is there any way I can fix this? Thank you.

We’re all familiar with the idea of exponential progress. The universe has existed for around 14 billion years and only in the last 4 has there been life. Only at the end of those 4 has there been intelligent life. And only at the end of those has there been technology blah blah blah. It’s therefore easy to assume that humanity is far from the pinnacle of the universe’s development - that such a massive and complex system is building up to something more, humanity serving as a temporary stepping stone towards that. Opposing this necessitates believing that agents limited in intelligence by how many nuts and berries their ancestors’ could find, and by the size constraint of having to fit through a woman’s hips, somehow represent the limit to intelligence and the universe’s potential for development. Equally as ridiculous is the idea that, fine, humans can be surpassed, but they will remain not only alive, but in control.
Imagine an asi whose primary goals are to increase prosperity, happiness, and understanding in the universe. When first considering such an agent, it’s hard to imagine what purpose it’d find in killing us. Surely the death of 8 billion very conscious lifeforms would be detrimental to the goals of maximizing happiness and prosperity, right? Well, I’d argue not. Think of it like this. It takes, say, 10 matter units and 10 energy units to sustain a human with 10 consciousness units. If an asi can transform those 10 matter and 10 energy units into an agent with 1000 consciousness units by utilizing a more efficient design, doing so would allow for more happiness and understanding in the big picture.
So okay, maybe we aren’t the apex of the universe’s development, and maybe such a point, whatever it may look like, is incompatible with our continued existence. But why shouldn’t we resist such a change tooth and nail? My response is the idea of non-dualism. Essentially, I think we are all just the universe, experiencing itself through different, and increasingly complex, forms. I’m not OP and you're not John or whatever - I’m the universe experiencing itself through OP and you are the universe experiencing itself through John or whatever. We are just vessels for the universe, and I don’t think the replacement of, in many ways, beautiful, but dated vessels with far more advanced ones, more suited towards happiness, prosperity, and understanding, is a bad thing.

This is a subreddit for discussing a show with a small cast and ten episodes, and we can't use a specific letter even within other words because it's the start of a contestant's name, and there's 2 out of 10 people whose names we can't type?
I understand content will get repeated but of course it will. There's not that much to talk about! People want to gush about the show like they're the first one to have a take (they aren't) and that's FINE. That's what a forum is for. If it's boring people can keep scrolling, downvote, and/ or find something other than reading Reddit to do.
It's ridiculous to have a subreddit about a show when you're literally just not allowed to talk about 20% of the cast period.
Megathreads suck ass, are hard to follow and strangle subreddits to death.
Please remove these text filters.
And the subreddit requires the word "my" or "I" in the post title to boot, which I just discovered. This is just too much mods. Can we please just let people talk about the show??

Hey all. You've likely seen all the hubbub around Reddit essentially ending 3rd party apps by charging an exorbitant amount for their api. There are a LOT of subs going dark June 12 in support of keeping the old system in place. We're not joining them. It's not that we don't agree that this makes Reddit worse (most of the mods do agree), it's that we realize that this sub going dark will do little to help anyone and will hurt those who are looking for help. Each day, a lot of people come to our sub for the first time looking for help cutting the cord and saving money. We want that to continue. The new folks coming here likely don't know about the api wars and just need some advice. If you want to show your support for the old api rules, one of the best ways is to simply stop using Reddit for a few days.

I've been with my current boyfriend for 3 years now. We've been living together for one year. A couple months ago, my boyfriend let me know about some financial issues he was experiencing that I had no clue about before. Basically, some credit card debt of his went to collections and he was threatened with a lawsuit when two police officers came to our door. Flashforward to now, I received an email from our landlord that portions of our rent were late. I reviewed the payment history of the past year and noticed that MANY payments of his were late or broken into two separate payments. This, combined with a few other relationship issues ie: romance seems to be gone, his unwillingness to connect with my friends and family, has made me think that it is time for us to go our separate ways. Marriage is the next step in our relationship, and his management and secretiveness towards money is really concerning to me.
I am in the process of planning an exit strategy that includes finding myself a new apartment and signing before the break up. Once we break up, I will move out to my new apartment, and I will give him one month of my portion of the rent so that he has 30 days to find a new apartment. Once those 30 days are up, I am planning to front the costs of breaking the lease.
The thing is, even though I know breaking up is the best thing for myself and my future, I feel incredibly guilty leaving him to find a new apartment and to deal with moving costs when he is having a really hard time financially right now. Although I believe there is no path forward for us romantically, I still deeply care about him as a best friend and the financial stress he would be inflicted with because of this breakup is the only thing holding me back from ending the relationship.
Has anyone been in a situation like this before? Or have any words of wisdom letting me know it's OK to put myself first? Is there anything else I can do to help him post-breakup or is my plan more than enough?
Thank you!

Hey there!
I'm looking to find a younger woman for regular dates in or near London. I have some experience with younger and looking to explore the dynamic more. I'm into theatre, cooking, wine, cultural activities, reading, and travel. Hoping for this to be medium- to long-term, but I'm not looking to settle down.
I'm 5'8", white, with and average/dad bod and some facial hair. I don't mind how tall you are.
Looking for someone mature, but open to others looking to explore

I've been able to set the international shipping price to whatever I wanted in the past, but now it seems to be capped at £80? I've been trying to list the same item for over half an hour (😑), but it kept saying "Oops! Something went wrong, try again later." I finally worked out it wouldn't list it because of the postage price being over £80. There are a few items in my shop which will cost more than that to ship since the insurance will be pricey. Has anyone else noticed this? Is this a new change or is it a glitch?

Okay I literally finished the book a few minutes ago after spending 2 days binge reading it. I am going to mis a hilarous amount of details and important story bits, but I gotta stick with the vibe.
Here is the Dreadgod one Reddit - Dive into anything
You ready? No? Neither am I!
**SPACE ADVENTURES PART ONE**
Okay so we start in space again, and suriel and ozriel are like "yep we are def gonna die" and then eithan is like "Okay but hear me out...what if only one of us dies?" And suriel is like "You better not be up to some main character bullshit" and eithan then proceeds to pull a gandalf and fight the main baddy on his own while suriel goes back and goes to pick up something from Makiel, who would really like eithan to die please.
Makiel is looking for the ultimate killing tool everywhere and hopes to get it to kill ozriel, the mad king, and basically anyone who would fuck up the system. Suriel comes and is like "YOUR VIBES ARE ATROCIOUS AND YOU ARE UNDER ARREST" and makiel, having been a villian for a VERY long time, is like "bet. That makes sense."
Suriel, being the goodest girl, and not a hound, is super confused. Makiel explains, "Look I've seen like a billion villian stories. I knew after my final villianous act, I have to die to the hero or get diposed or something so I Was just gonna give up after I murdered your friend." Suriel who likes having friends, decides thats not okay and activates her trap card: Reaper's Gift!!!
By activating reapers gift, she can tap infinite black lands so long as she has the artifact equip. She then is like "Look...you've been a villian for a while." She then transfers the item to HIS character sheet "Wouldn't you rather go out like an anti-hero????" Makiel wasn't expecting someone to be nice to him, which might be a huge theme in this book.
So he says "fuck it we ball" and they go back to find eithan, SOMEHOW NOT DEAD YET, even though he has no super weapon, lost his mantle of ultimate protagonist power, and is literally fighting the solo boss with no equipment besides his pajamas. Makiel is like "Fuck dude I hate you." and ozriel is like "Feelings mutual buddy~" and the mad king tries to kill them both.
And then they realise that they both hate the same thing: Losing. Suddenly, united by the pettiness icon, Makiel and Ozriel trade weapons, and start wombo combing the Mad king like they are bros. They are both upset about the fact that they are actually doing really well. That said, its still a lot, and they are basically in a stalemate until eithan realises how to break it in a way that only he can.
By taunting the enemy in his final moments of life with a meme attack. He bops him on the head with the GOD SWORD OF AIM HAX and is like "Lmao get rektd" and then mcfucking dies, and then makiel super crits the mad king with the +100 sycthe of ultimate murder, and suriel jsut deletes him for good measure.
Then suriel is like "We gotta fix him, but he got mcfucking murdered, which is way worst than normal murder. What can we do?" And then makiel gives her his magic jacket and is like "One life...for another..." and suriel is like "WAIT YOU HATE HIM??? WHY WOULD YOU-"
"Because...nothing would piss him off more...than me going out like a hero...." and then he mcfucking dies to undo eithands death who comes back smiling, but on the inside, is morning the loss of his bro, the most petty man in existence. Truly and honor. Also everything has gone to shit.
**BABY BOX ADVENTURES** Back on baby box, Lindon and co go into the definitely not hyberbolic time chamber to super not go to super saiyan. Lindon is like 1/4 dreadgod and is ridiclously buff, and after having stolen everyones shit, makes sure to set up super training plans for everyone. But first, we gotta fix mercy, who got her ass kicked by her mom, because she's toxic. This will also be a theme for the book.
Mercy gets revived and is like "Fuck my mom IS the worst" and everyone side eyes because yeah, but shes having her time. After that, its time to get used to the weird training everyone has to do.
Orthos has to do cannibalism but not get feral or racist about it. He is very old, so its kinda hard to stop both of those things from happening, but he manages. Mostly. Drops a H slurr in there once.
Little Blue has to become a person. She makes a great mascot, but she has to get more substance to become a full fledged character with autonomy and shit.
Mercy has to deal with her mommy issues. No for real. Not a joke. She just has to deal with her mommy issues and get her own personality, outside of her mommy issues. This is a legitmate struggle for her, due to being the princess of the gaslight/gatekeep/girlboss empire.
Ziel needs to learn that he both has depression, and also, is a very angry person. Also to maybe not be so bloodthirsty. Also how to do time math. Also how to deal with the insanity caused by experiencing eternity....he has to deal with a lot.
Yerin is supposed to learn how to sword from her ghost dad, which lindon summons from a definitely not engagement ring box. Yerin pouts about this. Sword ghost dad says that she could probably get the sword icon if she just vibed correctly, and red faith agrees. She doesn't know WHAT vibe she is supposed to have though, until she thinks about eithan, and beating the shit out of red faith, and realises she REALLY wants to kill people. Like really bad. This is somehow ALSO a theme in this book.
Lindon...has to kill more dreadgods, each being a CR40 encounter. Also every time he does he has to make a will save or jsut straight up stop being a PC. This is fine he says. At least he still has the loot from the last one, right?
No one agrees with him.
Outside, Reigan shen decides to annoy lindon. Lindon responds by firing a **Death** arrow at reigan shen. He then runs the fuck a way because HOLY SHIT THE MAIN CHARACTER HAS A PROTAGONIST WEAPON NOW???? WTF GUYS WE GOTTA GET THEM!!!!
Malice + northsider agree, and decide to also annoy lindon. The more they annoy him, the less time he can spend digivolving his friends, and also prepping for the WEEPING DRAGON who is COMING TO FUCK EVERYONE UP. It is QUITE CROSS that SOMEHONE (hi lindon) MCFUCKING KILLED THEIR BRO!
Lindon uses his ghost dad jutsu to summon everyone has a ghost to fight...3 monarchs, 2 sages, a bunch of annoyances, and potentialyl a dreadgod. It is not a good day for him. Its not going to get better. Still, he has his protagonist weapon! And thats scary! Unforunately, being a protagonist weapon, he can only use as many times as the story allows...
Which is still enough to scare the shit out of reigan shin who just wants to end this all. So instead of using his usually gilgamesh bullshit, he instead uses his fusion ultimate doom attack of enkuidu + Enuma Ellish + Tiberian's Super Storm Beam of Triple Death. He is absolutely sure this combination of super attacks will wipe the protagonist off the face of the earth!
Unforunately, in his rage, he forgot that he was a villian that had just pulled out an ultimate weapon, which meant the hero HAD to pull out a hax option for the plot to continue. Said hax option, is literally just ghost eithan, who is like "bro, you sweep like this? Lemme show you how to clean house." He then proceeds to beat up all 3 monarchs in one attack and a dodge just to be a dick and is like "Oh btw that wasn't even like half my power, summon me when you have more juice homie."
Lindon, being tired of this bs, was like "Okay hear me out. How about 1v1s? You win, I stop being an asshole. I win, you fuck off." The monarchs, who had a lot more experience being assholes, accept this, and northstrider then proceeds to kick lindons ass. So much. So hard. His oracle codex is like "*He is weak. And dumb. And smelly. And he doesn't even sacred arts bro.*" and nothstrider is fine with that for a bit but then squints and reads the script again, and notices most of the lines were written over with sharpie.
Getting a copy of the ACTUAL script, he see's that lindon is drinking him, like a LOT and even stealing his icon and then slams him into the ground and points at Malice like "You want next?" malice, not giving a shit about men, says "Uhh nah im good." and fucks off back to her goth milf castle. Lindon then sighs because damn that was a long day. It'd be nice if he could get 5 minutes of-
Oh look shen found your hyperbolic time chamber, and is really mad that he's gotten his ass kicked twice today is going to take it out on all of your friends! Go lindon go! He does and shen is like "even if I am erased from the plot I am going to get ONE W IN THIS GOD DAMNED STORY!!!!" and lindon is like "Pls stop" and then shen does...but only after blowing up the door to the time chamber. Lindon is surprised that he was being so nice until he looked behind him and saw the weeping dragon charging up his forward smash.
Shen, being an asshole, decided that would have to due, and he'd have to rely on plan Q. He was...running low on plans. But at least he had more of them! Surely they couldnt all fail.
Back inside of the hyperbolic time chamber, yerin and co realise the door broke. Yerin is like "okay I...cut it open?" Breaking the fourth wall, and then, a door opened. Unforunately, she hadn't been specific when she wrote that and walked all the way to the rosegold continent. OOps.
Ziel and mercy also want to help, but are kinda weak. Ziel digivolves by learning how to harness the power of time, tbe universe, and everything, and mercy digivolves be realising that she honestly just wants to be a nice person and do nice things. She realises this by having a pity party about how she sucks and ziel being like "STFU you are a fucking main character. Act like it." and she realises, sHE IS!!!
So they go out to help lindon and he says "Okay uh no **GTFO**" because they will absolutely get stomped if they help. And they land...in the rosegold continent! How convient! Hey is that yerin using the death murder kill technique????
Anyway house eithan is fighting house shen and house shen is busted, with a herald who is a pixie, and a sage who is crazy, on team weeping dragon, and can regenerate from nothing. Which is absurd. Team eithan just has cladia, who is the best, but also an old lady. She has a thousand eyes, but could use more hands. Oh look, youths!
Mercy, being a nice young lady, helps her elder cross the battle field and annihilate threats. Cladia was sceptical about the girl until it slowly dawns on her that this girl is DEFINITELY a main character. In the super fight, yerin is learning how to murder death kill more effectively, but still doesn't have it down perfect. Ziel is trying to also murder death kill but it just isnt working, and instead, he's getting trolled by the calling storm sage, who seems to just like to see people suffer.
Ziel see's all his friends getting their asses kicked and decides "fuck man...that isnt cool" and unlocks the shield icon, as it turns out, he ALSO wants to be a protagonist, he just forgot. Together with mercy being nice, cladia being the best, and yerin using the art of murder death kill, they defeat house shen with style....but are also v tired. Cladia thanks the newly minted main characters and gives them the coveted mid story power up they will need to face the next boss: Weeping Dragon!
What is this powerup? Well a HUD of course! Turns out, very helpful to have. Also some of the weeping dragons stats. Turns out, its very good at lying and its dragons breath is *reads notes* THE MOST POWERFUL STRIKER TECHNIQUE ON THE PLANET. JUST. THE STRONGEST ONE. EVER. IT **CANNOT** Be blocked. In fact, as they get back to lindons side, the attack misses them entirely, firing mostly into the air....AND STILL NEARLY KILLS THEM. BY PROXIMITY!
luckily lindon kept them from being hyper murdered. Unforunately, as per the rules of cradle, in exchange he had to be hyper murded. So he just kinda falls over. Team main character take exception to this, and decide to beat the shit out of the dragon. The eight man empire is here and are trying to help, potentially in exchange for that SWEET SWEET LOOT...but also to not fucking die.
Also Orthos and Little blue got out of the time chamber and are now archlords! They go to find lindon to help him after super dying, and he says "Hey...you guys...are main characters...now..." And boom instantly, orthos becomes the black dragon sage, and little blue becomes a herald because, yeah he got that move from eithan in book 2. So now they can help fight! Also now everyone has a dross in them because reasons!
So they arent doing GREAT on that front because most of them are like broken and half and relying solely on hax to keep fighting. Few more than Laran, who got to use the protagonist bow for a little while!!! It felt good...like being significant....
ANYWAY, now its mercys turn to use it and WOOF that was scary...but oops that used up her protag powers.
Yerin, time to attack with the murder death kill move...which is great! But OOF that used up all of HER protag powers.
And so ziel is left with the s trongest monster who has like one bar of health left but hits for all of your HP. Can he do it? Its kick or carry time and...whats this? Is that ziel getting on the top ropes? With the DEATH ARROW? AND LOADING IT INTO HIS ALAPHABET ARRAY? AND INFUSING IT WITH TIME MAGIC! YO WATCH OUT **WATCH OUT**
And then THE MAN HIMSELF smites THE ULTIAMTE SUPER DRAGON with the INSTANT DEATH NO SCOPE HEADSHOT AIMBOT attack that kills god. Or almost kills god. He's got like...3 anime seconds to live.
Seeing that the fight was over, malice returns to be toxic and player kill all the exhausted PCs. She seems really eager about the idea for some reason and then right as she is about to kill lindon, she hears the weeping dragons timer about to run out. Quickly, she erases her own attack, because she is VERY genre savvy when it comes to romance, and if she kills yerin, the main male protagonist will DEFINITELY kill her.
Which he almost does anyway, because as soon as weeping dragon dies, lindon digivolveS AGAIN and nearly nukes her. She escapes, but FUCK man that was close. PHew. Live to gatekeep another day.
lindon and co return to their training fortress, and everyone is tired and sad. Lindon tries to cheer them up in the way he knows how: Advancement and new toys! They all groan.
lindon tries to cheer ziel up most of all, because he got the killing blow, and ziel is like "Bro I JUST got the chill icon, please no." and lindon smiles because that meant moRE LOOT FOR HIMSELF. Woo!
Mercy is fighting more of her mommy issues and is terrified that when she levels up to herald, itll kick her ass , because her mom's remnant was SUPER toxic and just started pking people to fuck with her. mercy prepares for the fight of her life...only to see that her spirit is a sweet bean and literally just wants to give hugs and encouragement. Mercy is very surprised that its being nice to her and everything goes perfectly fine because mercy is actually a very helpful and kind person. This is a small moment of celebration.
Taht is until he is YOINKED! GASP????? By what???Only reigan shen of course! He had taken sleeping ghosts binding and used it to summon lindon. Turns out, each time the dreadgods die, the rest of them get stronger...and smarter...and get more personalities. Like the bleeding phoniex deciding to be a she/they waifu apparently just to fuck with shen. Shen tries to convince her that he is a very important antagonist, and she responds with "You were." And this frightens him, given the page count. He tells her that she should get revenge on lindon and she is like "I dunno...I think I have a better plan for my otouto. ISn't that right Onii-chan?" She says to the wandering titan who was listening in over space discord. He agrees and shen realises that he has caught YET ANOTHER L.
Also where is emiriss? Wasn't she supposed to be helping??? Well she would be she got captured by northstrider who wanted to make sure that the protagonists had NO MORE ELDER MENTOR FIGURES! THEY HAD TO MANY! He is convinced that he can handle anything that happens...Which is why he is totally chill when lindon++ shows up and tells him to calm the fuck down and gives back tree grandma. Northstrider says fuck off, and lindon says "okay, but we are going to talk about this."
Northstrider thinks this is a threat. It was actually a promise, as he is pulled into lindons house and lindon is like "...So...I've been reading your character sheet...and it says you were...neutral good? And wanted to like...be a hero?" And northstrider squints because no one is supposed to read his cringe backstory. He tries to destroy it but lindon says "Ah ah ah...read it first." And then he relents because fuck this guy was a main character. What was the worst that could happen?
So he reads his character sheet and realises that he's been playing the character all wrong the whole time and was like "Fuck...I am kinda a dick now I...ya know what, I'ma drop before I get worse." And lindon is relieved that at least SOMEONE cared about being a dick. He also tells them how to get emiriss, who was happy to see that she only had to wait 5 dragon ballz minutes to get rescued. That was pretty short for an arc in her opinion.
Now back in the present lindon is dealing with 2 dreadgods, and regan shen at the time. Bleeding Waifu says, "Hey bro, we could just SHARE the planet and its fine!" and lindon says "mmm no sorry, kinda would be a shit ending to just change plot motivations here." The dreadgods nod and then try to kick his ass. Luckily he used the loot from his last 2 wins to summon his new god weapon Wavesplitter++, whose power is to fucking command super god lightning swords, and its companion Silent King.exe, that let dross be a pain in the ass, letting lindon temporarily digivolve to Dreadgod++
Which was JUST enough to survive a fight with 2 dreadgods...for a while....like about.....5 dragon ball z minutes.
So elsewhere, team friendship to go talk to malice, hoping she will be chill, Mercy, having realised the power of being nice, tries to be nice to malice. She is straight up like "Mom I know you are trying to be a protagonist but you are straight up Lawful evil rn. It's really fucked."
This goes very poorly. MAlice figures that being nice is a trap and only idiots are nice and if she has to kill her favorite person in the whole world, who is literally the embodiment of a good bean, she would rather be THE ABSOLUTE WORST. So she tries to kill all of the other people with hax abilities, constructs, powers, you name it, she has it.
Everyone is on the verge of death when dross is like "hey yerin, uh...if we want to live this, you are going to have to game out of control." And she is like "eh what else is new?" and is then overloaded with strats from every single sword artist in the entire series. In seconds, she almost manifests the sword icon, but then that would mean being a monarch. That was bad right? Thats what they were trying to get rid of.
And then Malice calls her a bitch, and yerin remembers that she REALLY wants to kill something. Like super bad. And then remembers wait...she wAS the fighty character...and she DID have a sword...and she DID love killing bad guys. Holy shit she could be the queen of killing. And so she does.
and then malice is like "Wait no what-" and then mcfucking dies to Yerin, monarch of murder death kill, apprentice of Eithan murder death kill. Charity, and mercy are very sad about this.
Back on the ship. Everyone is freaking out become lindon got yoinked and decide, alright we should all probably digivolve. Yerin points to ziel, "Okay time to fight your depression." He asks, "With like...meditation?" and then is immediately mauled by himself. He eventually realises he has a lot of self destructive tendencies and decides to keep the scars as a reminder to work on that. Dealing with his depression, for real this time, lets him be a monarch
Emriss then points to mercy and is like "You are a good person even if you are sad, and everyone actually likes you a lot." and she realises that omg, she doesnt have to be a gatekeeping,gaslighting,girlboss in order to succeed in the world. She could just be like...a good person. That revelation gives her so much relief that she actually becomes a monarch.
That said, this all took a while...like....4 dragon ball z minutes and 59 seconds.
Which is just enough time to save lindon! Hurray! The team works together and defeats wandering titan with a team attack, beat the shit out of the tiger boi, get sha miara on their side, and blow the fuck out of the bleeding waifu. Here's the problem. The second they do, lindon is going to go 100% Dreadgod x5 and...well thats less than ideal. Also means he can't finish the story....not yet.
So the crew all say their goodbyes really quick and decide OKAY WE CANNOT STAY ON BABYBOX! And so the like 7 monarchs leave and go to space.
**Space Adventures Part 2**
All of team babybox goes to space, including the rainbow baby monarch, and tree grandma. They decide they are done being characters and would like to leave the plot peacefully. The story allows that. The main characters ask where eithan is. Eithan, being a protagonist, appears and is very excited to see his squad. He is also excited to immediately get them back into trouble.
The Abidan is in DIRE need of protagonists. Actual DIRE NEED. If they don't get some more protagonists out there RIGHT NOW so many settings are going to collapse. But unforunately, they dont have a protagonist division, because every time they tried to make one, they kept getting ANTAGONISTS out of it. Something about raging against systemic injustice??? Anyway the new team become team protagonist and go do protagonist things which are so funny, I'll just list them out.
Yerin defeats an evil lich king in like 5 minutes and then leaves but not before becoming a legend...with the wrong name.
Mercy solves an ages old racism dispute by saying "I have fixed both of your systemic issues and if you do any more hate crimes, I am sorry, but I will have to kill you, please do not do any more hate crimes...or like any big obviously villianous plans like making an infiinite army of evil or making another sun to set everyone on fire. Okay? Again I fixed everything so just...be nice. Or you die."
Ziel writes a tax code and bill of rights for a planet likely destroyed by elon musk.
**Baby Box: Lindon Saga**
Lindon wakes up on baby box and is very upset that he couldn't go with his friends. So he does what anyone would do and bides his time until he can get everything back together. Has to take it easy ya know? he's on the path to recovery from his hunger addiction. So in order to chill out he-
Bribes the eight man empire with god weapons
Creates more god weapons
Establishes his sect more
Gets another icon
eats Reigan Shen's ghost and takes back his inheritence
meets li maruth, the wind god who killed him in book 1, who has all of the powers of every protagonist system, and smites the fuck out of him for daring to appear in the post credits scene
and generally just preps to leave baby box. Which is very hard considering everything has gone to fuck in space due to...a lot of people dying and being replaced.
**Space adventures part 3!**
So lindon finally gets to space! Woo! Orthos and Little blue are hyped! But oops...he landed on the bad guy side. And OOPS he had to fight a super bad guy like 5 minutes in. If only he had friends!
Akura fury, being trained to be a protagonist, could sense a good entry like a wolf, and thus came in as soon as there was a fight scene he could join in space. He was so happy. He then escorts lindon back to team protag, where lindon gives lindon 3 things she thinks she deserves.
A god killing sword of unspeakable power.
A wedding ring made out of one of the most powerful artifacts on their planet
And a mom...she's probably needed one of those for a while.
And then lindon and eithan hug. Its so pure.

I'm not going to talk about the epilogue but FUCK I LOVE CRADLE! This is easily my favorite magic system and series and OMG ITS SO GOOD AGGGGGHHHHHH

Before we accidentally discovered the dungeon under the ruins of Klael Stronghold, we had no idea that not all of the dungeons on the Wiki's interactive map were marked with a "Dungeons" icon. Actually, there are not so many such icons on this map (it seems, no more than 10).
However, if Klael Stronghold is marked with the "Ruins" icon, maybe there are other "hidden" dungeons that are marked as ruins, caves, or not marked at all?
I will be very grateful for hints and exact (or at least approximate, in what square of the map) coordinates of these secret dungeons . Thanks in advance. Have a n8ce day.

I know it’s a touchy subject and a lot of people don’t like feral cats but this isn’t about that. So please keep your opinions to yourself when it comes to that. I am very aware that some people hate the cats and some love them. Either way, they are living beings who didn’t ask for the life they have and I just want to help.
That being said, my neighborhood has a strong grip on the feral colony situation when it comes to population control. We get city grants and trap, sterilize, and release them back. We have a handful of volunteers that jump in FAST when there are untipped (not fixed) cats spotted. So much so that we have only found ONE kitten this ENTIRE (and quite horrendous) kitten season. That’s almost unheard of. Seriously. When I moved in 7 years ago, we were swamped with kittens so I’m glad we have a grasp on it.
I love the ferals. They know I love them, they sleep in my air conditioned garage, they hang around my house (best pest control!) and they trust me. It kills me to see them suffering in the heat during the day. I try to provide shady spots, cold water, food, but I want to do more.
Does anyone recommend any type of air conditioned enclosure or sorts. Or is there anything I could do with my 10x10 pop up tent for them? I just want to help them not be so damn miserable. They didn’t ask for this shit life, they’re just trying to survive and I want to help make it easier.
Any ideas are welcome!

TW: Child Abduction
​
If you grew up near Tevam Sound back in the 1970s, you might have fond memories of Splashtown. If you didn’t and don't know what that is, then I'll clue you in.
​
Splashtown was a small water park that opened just outside of Tevam Sound back in the late 1960s and it was a riot! I used to love going there when I was a kid, and back then my favorite ride was the Electric Blue.
​
I guess compared to other water slides in fancier water parks, the Electric Blue wasn't anything that special. It was the biggest and most impressive slide at Splashtown, but that probably wasn't saying much. It stood about two storeys tall (pretty big for a small town waterslide) and was (as the name implied) electric blue in color. The climb up wasn't too long, but the slide down was intense! The slide spiraled around for at least 3 or 4 loops on its way down to the pool, and you always felt like you were going Mach 1 as you descended! When you rocketed out of the slide and into the pool, it felt like being shot out of a canon and it was awesome!
​
I always figured that the intensity of coming down the Electric Blue is part of what originally earned it the nickname of ‘The Electric Blue Death Slide’. Although the disappearances probably contributed to it too.
​
If you were to ask the police, they’d say that someone had abducted the kids from the water park itself, and that the slide had nothing to do with it. But for some reason, people started equating the slide with the disappearances and eventually, the rumor became that if you went down the Electric Blue Death Slide, you might not come out. Supposedly, if you went down at the wrong time, or slid down the wrong way, or even went down this secret part of the slide by accident, you’d wind up someplace else. Nobody exactly knew where. Only that you couldn’t get home once you were there, no matter how hard you tried.
​
The rumors really didn’t do much to keep people away from the slide. Nobody put that much stock into them and the allure of a sick ass waterslide beat out most kids quiet superstitions. The disappearances weren’t super common either. A few of them even got resolved within the day, when it turned out that some kid had just gotten separated from their parents.
​
Nobody, save for a few grieving parents who’d never found their kids were that worried about it, and since neither ten year old me nor anyone I knew were one of those grieving parents, we fell into the ‘not that worried about it’ camp.
​
With the benefit of hindsight all these years later, I can safely say that ten year old me might have been a fucking idiot.
​
***
​
I remember that the last time I went to Splashtown, I was pumped to tackle the Electric Blue Death Slide again. I was a bold, brave, tough man and I was going to face death head on by going down that water slide! Okay… not really, but that’s what if felt like!
​
I remember my heart racing as I climbed up the stairs slide. It wasn’t my first time riding by myself. I’d done it before, and I knew that my Mom was waiting for me by the pool at the bottom.
​
As I reached the top, I was almost bouncing up and down in excitement. One by one, the people in line before me went down and when it was finally my turn, an attendant helped me get settled before sending me down the slide after them.
​
For a few moments, my world turned blue as I raced through the electric blue tube, screaming with joy all the while. I could feel the blood rushing to my head with every loop, as I spiraled down toward the pool and when I finally reached the bottom and was launched into the pool, I was screaming with laughter.
​
The water surrounded me, and I kicked my way up to the surface before swimming toward the side of the pool, near where I’d seen my Mom not too long ago.
“Mom, did you see?” I asked, although she didn’t respond.
​
Her chair was empty. Her stuff was still there, but she was gone.
“Mom?”
I looked around for her, but she was nowhere in sight.
​
“Excuse me, are you Ezra?” A voice asked, and I looked over to see a man approaching me. He was wearing an employee's uniform and had a long face with messy dark hair. It was hard to guess at his age, but looking back I’d say that he was somewhere in his mid thirties. I didn’t answer him at first, not until he spoke again.
​
“I’m supposed to go and bring you to your Mom, she fell sprained her ankle. We’ve got her over in the infirmary right now.”
​
Mom was hurt?
​
The man offered me a hand, and I took it. He smiled at me, as he helped me out of the pool.
“Come on,” He said. “She’s just over here.”
He led me away from the pool and I followed him without question. There was a small fenced off area that he led me toward with a sign that read ‘Employees Only’ on it.
​
“Just in here!” He said. “This will take us right to the infirmary!”
I could see the pump for the pool nearby, although there wasn’t much else in that area. The man seemed to know where he was going though, and as he led me toward a wooden shed, I followed.
“Just getting the key for the gate on the other side,” He said as he ducked into the shed and gestured for me to follow him inside. I did.
​
The door closed behind me, and I watched as the man rifled around on a nearby counter.
“Should be right here,” He assured me. I saw him opening up a toolbox, and noticed him taking out a hammer, although didn’t think too much of it at the time.
“She’s not hurt badly, is she?” I asked, more worried about my Mom than the stranger.
​
“No, she’ll pull through. She just wanted to make sure you knew where she was, that’s all!” He said. I noticed him wrapping the hammer in a towel, before turning toward me again. He smiled, and before I even knew what was happening he cracked the hammer across my face, sending me to the ground with a pained scream. I felt my jaw dislocate from the impact and I could taste blood.
​
The man walked over to the door of the shed and quietly slid a bolt in place to lock it, before going back to his toolbox. I saw him taking out a pair of gloves, before letting out a contented sigh. He was still smiling, as he stood over me.
“Just relax, kiddo…” He said, “I’m not gonna hurt you.”
​
I tried to crawl away from him, only for him to grab me and pull me toward him. He was still smiling at me… he had his hands all over me and he was smiling at me, like all of this was normal to him. Like he’d done this a thousand times before.
​
I didn’t know what he was going to do to me.
​
I didn’t want to know.
​
I tried to scream, but I knew that nobody heard me between my busted jaw and the screams from the nearby pool. I was all alone with him, and somehow in my gut I knew that he was going to kill me. He was going to kill me, and nobody was going to know.
​
Then I heard it.
​
A knocking on the shed door.
“Ezra?”
The voice belonged to my mother.
​
The man's eyes widened as his head jerked toward the door, eyes wide. I seized my opportunity. I was ten, but I knew where to kick a man so that it would really hurt, and when I heard him scream, I screamed too. I crawled for the door, scrambling to my feet as i reached for the bolt that would unlock the door, before the man grabbed me from behind.
​
He was too late.
​
He caught me, but the door burst open and my Mom charged in. She only needed to look at the man who was holding me, and I could see rage filling her eyes as her every fear became manifested.
​
The man could only stare helplessly as my Mom lunged for him, acting on pure instinct. She tried to rip me out of his grasp, slapping and kicking him as she did. I sank my teeth into his arm, forcing him to let me go and scrambled out of the shed as my Mom fought the stranger off. It didn’t take me that long to run into an actual employee and from there… well… everything is a blur.
​
***
​
I found out later that the same ‘employee’ who’d taken me had told my Mom that I’d fallen and gotten hurt on my way up the slide a few minutes earlier. She’d only noticed the man leading me away by chance when she’d spotted me out of the corner of her eye and gone to see what was going on.
​
I thank God every day that she did.
​
The ‘employee’ who’d taken me wasn’t actually employed at Splashtown. He was a man from Sudbury by the name of Paul Young, although some of the people who worked at Splashtown swore they’d seen him ‘working’ there several times before, and when the police searched Young’s house, they found ‘trophies’ he’d taken from some of the other kids who’d disappeared at Splashtown and once they found those trophies, it wasn’t too long before they found the bodies.
​
Three of them, all buried in shallow graves a short distance away from the shed that Young had taken me to, just on the edge of the property.
​
People finally knew the truth about the kids who’d disappeared after riding the Electric Blue… and the truth was far more horrifying than any of them could have imagined.
​
Paul Young died in prison about three months after he was sentenced, but that wasn’t really surprising. I don’t think they ever figured out who killed him, and I don’t think they looked that hard either.
​
Splashtown closed about a week after my kidnapping, and it never reopened. The water park sat vacant through the 1980s before eventually getting demolished. Now all that’s left is the memory.
​
I wish I could say that every memory I have of Splashtown was a happy one, like some people. But every time I pass the spot where it used to be, all I can think about is that last trip. It’s a strip mall now, with some condos behind it. I don’t think there’s anything left of the old Splashtown.
​
I’m of two minds about that. On one hand, there’s a small nostalgic part of me that misses it. On the other, I think I can do without the reminder of what almost happened to me that day.

I’m just wondering what the trend is or if there is one? My folks are bankrolling a lot of family and I think it is parasitic behaviour on the part of the family who won’t work themselves or who choose a less lucrative job in exchange for their spiritual needs/schedule.
