Wednesday Season 2
Episode 2- Woe Thy Enemy
Wednesday and Xavier are now reacting to the results of her vision, he looks scared
"Uh… well maybe this is one of those misdirection visions you sometimes get?"
She looks confused
"I just don't know… I… I need to get back to the school. You should too… it is getting late.
Xavier smirks
"Is the stone cold Addams looking out for me?"
She glares
"Do not test me…"
Wednesday exits the shed and walks into the darkening forest. The next day, Wednesday is at The Quad and sitting at a bench with Enid and Yoko. Yoko is drinking her cup of blood, Enid is trying on some hats, and Wednesday is packing a bag. Wednesday looks at Yoko
"What is your preferred blood type?"
Yoko stops sipping and responds
"O Positive is good, AB Negative has a nice punch to it."
Wednesday thinks
"B Positive leaves a pleasant coating in your throat… It is quite refreshing."
Enid pushes her drink away
"I… didn't wanna drink fruit punch anyway…"
Wednesday zips up more of her pack
"Relax Enid, no need to vomit here."
Enid's current boyfriend, Ajax, approaches the table with another student with him. Enid looks excited
"Hi babe! You're looking cutesy today…"
Ajax looks at his outfit
"But I wear this every day?"
"Oh I know… the point still stands."
Wednesday rolls her eyes at their over the top PDA. Ajax looks to his friend.
"Girls, this is one of my new buds, Trevor. One of the other Gorgons here."
He smiles at the girls and introduces himself
"Hi, nice to meet you guys."
Wednesday looks alarmed a bit
"You haven't met any of us before?"
Ajax interjects
"Trevor transferred here this semester after a stoning incident."
Trevor explains
"Wasn't anything crazy… someone broke my favorite coffee mug… and I got angry. I… didn't mean to hurt anyone but it happened. They lived though."
Enid looks surprised
"You stoned someone over a coffee mug?"
Yoko sips again and smacks her lips
"Some coffee mugs can be priceless, like the one of mine you broke last year? Divina gave me that one…"
Enid cringes
"Right… I swear that wasp was glaring at me. So I swatted it"
Ajax starts talking again
"Anyway, I'm kinda showing him around here. Thought I'd bring him up to me and X's room later."
They walk off and Enid notices Wednesday's judgmental look
"Why so judgy? He seems nice."
Wednesday Stands up
"Everyone is a suspect… that stalker is out there somewhere…"
Yoko drinks more
"But Ajax said he was a newbie. How could it be him?"
Enid notices her all packed up
"Uhm… where are you going?"
Wednesday reluctantly answers
"Jericho… I have a few missions to do."
Enid looks surprised
"Jericho!? Why? You don't wanna get evolved with normies again, right?"
Wednesday looks angered
"What I do on my own time is my decision. Come on Thing…"
Thing comes from messing with one if Enid's hats to Wednesday's bag
Just outside the gates to Nevermore, Wednesday hears someone calling her name
"Wednesday! Wait up.*
It's Eugene, he's got his backpack again
"What do you want, Eugene? I've got somewhere to be."
He straightens his glasses
"Where too? I don't want you out there alone Wednesday."
Wednesday stares at him and responds
"I wasn't the one who nearly died in the woods last semester… you need to stay here. I will be back later."
He frowns as she walks away
"But Hummers stick together…"
She sighs and rolls her eyes and turns around
"Fine… you may come along. But you follow my lead, and listen to me, got it?"
He smiles and runs up next to her
"Thank you Wednesday. So, where are we going?"
"Jericho."
Wednesday and Eugene are seen walking to Jericho as she monologue
"Returning to Jericho brings back some strange feelings. Perhaps Enid is right, I shouldn't get involved with anyone here. But there are some shady things going on at Nevermore. And I may need help"
She walks in the town and is filled with a dreadful feeling. Especially when she goes to the entrance of a familiar restaurant, The Weathervane. Eugene notices
"You ok? You look… scared?"
She groans
"I am not… scared… it's just strange, Ok. I… I had my first kiss here. And it hasn't sat right with me ever since. It's the moment where I went from feeling victorious… to feeling like I was a failure as a detective."
Eugene puts a hand on her shoulder
"You're not a failure, you're a hero."
She scoffs
"Please… don't call me that. Heroes are boring. I prefer the ones stuck in the middle."
Eugene giggles as they open the door. She walks inside and at the counter is no longer a tall, curly haired two faced monster. Just a normal Barista. She looks at Wednesday when she gets to the counter
"Hello young lady, can I get you anything?"
She nods
"I will take my usual."
The Barista looks confused
"You're a reg? I don't seem to remember you?"
Wednesday sighs
"We are Nevermore Students. School has been out of session for several weeks. But since this place has clearly no respect for its patrons, I will take a Quad Over Ice… "
She punches in the order
"And you, young man?"
He smiles
"A hot chocolate, please."
She punches in his
"Names?"
Eugene goes first
"Eugene."
"Addams. Wednesday Addams."
She looks surprised
"W-w-wednesday Addams? As in the Wednesday who stopped that monster on the loose who was also our former barista?"
Wednesday shrugs
"That is my name…"
The Barista smiles
"Then for your Valor, you may drink free here whenever you'd like. On the house."
Wednesday nods okay, and takes a seat with Eugene at a booth. Soon, a familiar person walks inside.
"Addams…"
*Wednesday turns to look, it's Lucas Walker."
"Lucas…"
Eugene seems happy
"Hey Lucas."
Lucas waves and talks to Wednesday.
"Look, I want to thank you Wednesday."
She's confused
"Thank me?"
He nods
"For putting the woman who killed my father behind bars."
She nods, understanding
"I see. I don't usually say this about everyone, but your father was a good man. He deserved a better fate."
Eugene interjects
"She means she's sorry…"
She eyes him
"Well, thank you. Guess I'll be seeing you around for the Nevermore Reopening Event next week?"
She's confused
"What event?"
He continues
"At the park next week. The mayor is planning a party of sorts for the returning students. Oh and uh… sorry about Tyler."
Now she looks upset
"Don't… let's just not talk about him. I know you two used to be friends. But after last semester… things are different."
Lucas goes up to the counter as Eugene talks to Wednesday.
"So, what else are we doing here besides getting drinks?"
She clarifies
"I need to talk to someone."
The scene then cuts to The Police Station. Eugene is now confused
"The police station?"
She nods
"I need to ask some questions. My stalker for one. Perhaps they can help me piece things together."
Eugene nods
"Makes sense. Let's go!"
She Grabs his shoulder
"Wait… you wait at the bench outside. I need to talk alone. Okay?"
He sulks
"Okay…"
She walks inside and the lady at the desk sees her
"Hello Miss. Can I help…"
She's interrupted by someone else
"Addams?"
Sheriff Galpin exits his office and has his normal stern look
"Sheriff Galpin…"
He walks slowly towards her
"What do you want, kid? You aren't causing trouble again, are you?"
She maintains her current facial expression
"That depends on what you mean about trouble. Anyway, I have come here to talk…"
He begrudgingly agrees
"I see, come on inside."
They enter his office and sit. He starts the conversation
"Okay… what have we now? Another monster. A zombie? What?"
She retorts
"I can tell you're mocking me. I too like to poke at people…"
He taps his desk
"Well… what do you got?"
She pulls out her phone
"Before I left Nevermore last semester… I started getting these pictures sent to me saying to watch out. Threats. I think it's a stalker."
Galpin looks at the pictures. The ones of her and Xavier. Her and Enid's room. And the one that strikes him the most, one of his son
"One of these is of… my son. That I can tell you is not him. He's still at the rehabilitation center for monsters."
She starts to talk
"That I know… Is he still turning into the Hyde?"
Galpin glares
"That is none of your concern. What matters is he ain't here."
She nods
"I understand. So, what do you recommend I do?"
He looks at his paperwork
"I can file a report to look out for suspicious activity online in the area. But it isn't a guaranteed method."
She nods okay
"It is a start I suppose. And… about… Tyler. I… I'm s… ss… sorry about him getting taken away."
He sighs and looks sad
"Appreciate it… and please don't mention him. It has been… difficult to say the least."
Wednesday Stands up
"Alright then. I should get going. Appreciate the help."
He retorts
"Don't get involved with any police business this time… I mean it this time."
She walks out the door
"I don't believe that helped much, Thing."
He signs that it's better than nothing. She feels a vibration in her pocket
"What now…"
She looks at her phone, it's her stalker
Stalker-
You think the cops can save you?
They send a picture of Eugene on the bench
"Shit… Eugene!"
She runs outside and he's just poking at bees on the bushes
"Eugene!?'
He looks at her
"What!? Everything okay!?"
She calms down
"Yes… it's nothing… I suppose."
He looks concerned
"Are you sure? You never get scared?"
She's insulted
"Scared? No, I was just… seeing if you were alright. Look at this."
He looks at the photo, he seems startled too
"Whoa… that's me! But… who is it? There's nobody here…"
She shoves it in her pocket
"That's what always happens. He or she just sends a picture and shows no signs of their occurrence. So far Me, you, Xavier, Enid… and even Tyler have been in the photos."
He walks with her
"So does that mean it's someone else?"
She nods no
"Possibly, but that doesn't mean there aren't multiple. Like Tyler and Thornhill."
He seems disappointed
"You think I'm involved?"
She keeps walking
"Not necessarily… I want to believe you, and Enid and Xavier. But I trusted and distrusted the wrong people last time. I don't want to rule anyone out."
He understands
"We should get back to Nevermore. Classes start in a half hour."
The two make it back. Wednesday arrives at Fencing class. She zips up her suit and walks to Kent
"Is Xavier late? He should be here."
He nods no
"Xavier didn't take fencing this time. He took another art class instead."
Divina interjects
"I think he's just afraid to lose to you."
The twins giggle
"That he should be. As should the two of you…"
Bianca walks out with her mask at her hip
"Wednesday Addams…"
She glances
"Bianca Barclay…"
She stands next to Wednesday
"Ready to be bested again? By the superior duelist?"
Wednesday seems confident
"Only if you are ready to be beaten quicker."
Ajax looks at them
"You two really gotta chill… there's more to this than beating each other."
Bianca looks at him
"It's just pre-game banter, Ajax. It isn't serious."
Wednesday interrupts
"I never said that…"
Everyone gives her their usually worried look as the coach speaks
"First round… Ajax against Trevor!"
The two Stoners look at each other and Mask up as the coach talks more
"En Garde…"
They take their stances. Enid looks happy
"You got this Ajax!"
He winks at her as he and Trevor touch blades and they start dueling. It's quite even until they pick up the pace as Trevor scores a hit on Ajax's lower arm
"Point to Trevor!"
Some of them applaud while Enid frowns. Ajax recuperates
"Ah… damn. Nice hit."
They form up again
"En garde…"
They mask up again and start to duel they're in a lock when Trevor takes Ajax by surprise as he strikes his knee
"Game… Trevor."
Ajax and Trevor shake hands and return to the stands. Yoko elbows Enid lightly to get her attention
"Your man needs some practice…"
Enid sticks her tongue out at her, annoyed. Ajax stands next to her
"Don't sweat it babe, we all have our bad days."
A few matches go bye. Yoko against Kent, Divina against Enid. And more. Finally Wednesday and Bianca are up. Bianca speaks up
"Finally some real players are up."
Some of the others scoff at her banter as They square up. Wednesday talks
"Do not get overconfident. I prefer a good even match."
Bianca gives her a playful cocktail grin
"We'll see Addams…"
They step back
"En garde…"
They mask up and immediately they start to strike and do spins and ducks. Wednesday doing side flips and the like. Bianca gets the upper hand and swings at Wednesday's arm.
"Point… Bianca!"
The others applaud at their match. Enid whistles
"That was amazing! You got the next round Wednesday!'
Wednesday gives her a confirming nod as they square up again. The Coach speaks
"En garde…"
They start dueling again, Wednesday does a flip over Bianca and swings behind her, disarming Bianca and promptly pokes her chest
The others Roar with applause as Bianca smiles
"Point… Wednesday"
"That was some good shit right there… let's see what you got on round three…"
They get ready once more
"En garde!"
They start dueling and as Wednesday clashes with Bianca her head jerks back and she falls hard. Bianca looks concerned
"Wednesday? You okay!?"
Enid and Thing run up
"She's having a vision, shit… now what…"
Wednesday is seeing a vision again. In its, she sees Bianca getting clonked from behind and knocked out. She wakes up out of breath. Trevor is confused
"What… what happened?"
Ajax explains
"Wednesday is a psychic… She has random visions of the future sometimes. It's some creepy shit dude."
Enid is at her side
"Hey? You okay? What'd you see?"
She holds her head and sits up, as she points at Bianca
"Me?"
She nods as she stands up
"You were knocked out… hit from behind by something…"
She looks at Divina worried
"Where?"
She tries to recollect
"It was hard to tell… but it was night time…"
Divina thinks of something
"I'd say we implement a buddy system?"
Wednesday looks confused
"What is that?"
She continues
"Nobody should travel anywhere alone. If you go somewhere… especially at night… have a buddy with you."
Enid nods
"That could work… why can't we just have a normal school year?"
Wednesday gestures to Thing
"Fortunately, I always have someone with me."
Kent looks at him
"But he's just a hand?"
Wednesday looks at him
"A hand that knocked you out, remember?"
He crossed his arms and pouts
"Don't wanna talk about that…"
Divina rolls her eyes
"Oh get over it…"
Enid checks the time
"Shit… it's 11:27. We gotta be at next class in 3 minutes. We should get going."
Bianca pats Wednesday's shoulder
"Good game Wednesday, you earned that one."
Wednesday is confused
"What? I didn't beat you?"
Bianca smiles
"I'll give you the win on this one. Just because that fall you took."
Wednesday nods
"I respect it, but next time be ready."
Bianca nods as she goes into a different direction.
"Whatever you say, Addams…"
Later in the day, Wednesday passes Principal Fairbanks and he talks to her
"Afternoon, Wednesday. I heard of your vision in Fencing. Everything alright?"
She nods
"It happens from time to time. I have been through worse."
He chuckles
"I'm sure you have. You take it easy, Addams."
Wednesday arrives in Herbology again and takes a seat, she looks to her right. No Xavier. Now she's suspicious. She takes out her phone and texts him
Wednesday-
Hey, I have not seen you around since last night. I want answers. Soon.
She puts her phone away as she hears a voice
"Want an in person answer?"
Xavier sits down. Wednesday looks at him
"The question still stands. You have been strangely absent today…"
He looks kinda offended
"What? Am I not allowed to have a social life outside of you? I thought you wanted it that way?"
She looks like she made a mistake
"It's just that things have been happening more now. More messages, more visions. More suspects."
He exhales a bit angered
"Alright. I see that. And let me guess… I'm at the top of your list again!?"
She backs down a bit.
"Xavier I… I didn't mean it that way… forgive my overstep."
He sighs
"Okay… I'll have you know I was actually talking with some girl in my 3D art class. We actually made plans for a date next week."
Wednesday looks strangely taken back by the revelation
"That sounds… good for you. I suppose."
He's confused
"What? Aren't you happy? You don't gotta worry about me and you being awkward anymore. I thought you'd like that news?"
She breaths
"I don't know what to think right now. A lot has come up today. And if I came out harsh, it was not meant that way. I shouldn't have sent that text."
He nods, not fully believing her
"Whatever… we should just get going on our assignments."
She goes to text Enid
Wednesday-
Me and you need to speak later.
Enid-
Oh yeah? Everything OK?
Wednesday-
Yes.
After school, Wednesday and Enid meet in their dorm room. Enid is pacing
"Okay… so why did you even text him? If you are just friends and you don't want to be together?"
Wednesday is at her Typewriter
"He was the only person who I haven't seen today until Herbology. My inner detective got into my head I suppose."
She looks at Wednesday
"There are more students outside of us and the Nightshades. You know that right?"
She looks annoyed
"I am not stupid Enid. Obviously I have considered that."
Enid stops pacing
"I heard about him and Jenna Thompson getting together. Not… exactly what I had in mind though. She's another psychic. What do you think?"
She looks confused
"Why should I have anything to think about it?"
Enid smiles a bit
"Because he's your friend? A friend who used to have a super crush on you? That doesn't change anything?"
She nods no
"The only thing it changes is that he has someone else to gawk at."
Enid giggles
"You're gonna miss it. Just you wait…"
She sighs and shakes her head when a knock is heard at the door. Enid answers it
"Hi Xavier! We were just talking about you. What's up?"
He looks at Wednesday
"I wanna talk with her."
She looks worried
"Wait... you came alone?"
He's confused
"Yeah? Why? It's just across the campus?"
Wednesday talks to him
"He wasn't there, remember?"
She cringes
"Right... anyway we should have a buddy system with this weirdo stalking Wednesday."
He nods
"I'll keep that in mind. Maybe I'll bring Ajax next time.
Enid let's him in
"Look Wednesday… I just wanna say… I'm sorry for blowing up earlier. It's just that I thought you'd be happy with me moving on."
She nods
"That is fine. I actually commend you for standing up for yourself…."
Ding
Wednesday gets a text again… the stalker
Stalker-
Number 1…
He sends a photo of Trevor on the roof at Xavier's apartment. The three look at it. Xavier looks alarmed
"What the f*ck!? That's my room!"
Enid looks worried
"Why's he watching Trevor?"
Another text is sent…. It's of the same roof, but no Trevor. Wednesday looks
"Where is he?"
Outside they hear sirens towards Xavier's dorm hall. He looks out the window
"Oh shit… come on."
They run out the door as the scene ends

Texas Chainsaw Massa-Curd Burger
Texas Chainsaw Massa-Curd Burger Season 5, Episode 2.
"A habanero-stuffed patty slathered in melty cheese curds and a chunky home-made tomato-ginger ketchup. Be careful with the habaneros! Wash everything they touch or else their spiciness will invade your life! It will move in, stay on your couch, and eat your cereal. If you have rubber gloves, consider wearing them while handling the habaneros, and do NOT touch your eyes. Also, don't touch your belly button. We're not sure if this would do anything, but you don't want to be the first person to find out."
I've always been one to go for the hot wings, add hot sauce to everything, and enjoy a good kick in general. The habaneros were not overpowering here and certainly came through to make you sweat! I absolutely love the home-made sauce on this burger which tastes like a bold and chunky ketchup. Cheese curds were always called 'squeaky cheese' in our house and I never thought I would find myself adding them to anything besides poutine or the deep fryer. Cheese curds on a burger is an excellent move if you've never tried it! Just be aware that you have to really crank up the heat to get the curds to melt.
Was it difficult to make? No, I just constantly was careful with the peppers Would I make it again? I would make the sauce again for sure My rating - 8/10 Did I eat the whole burger? You bet I did

2023.06.08 01:07 myparentsareinsanee TIFU By Getting Drunk/Contact High and Confessing to the Guy I’m Hooking Up With

I, 16F, am on a bit of a rebellious streak. Last night I snuck out and went out with some friends to a party/sesh. There was about 15 of us at one point, most of whom I knew to varying degrees.
Most of the night itself was actually a lot of fun. Its towards the end of the night when things got messy.
I didn’t do any drugs, but I was definitely contact high, and I didn’t shy away from taking shots. I eventually got quite drunk, and this was my first time ever drinking, let alone being drunk.
Well, me and this guy (also 16) who I will call Harry have been hooking up for about 3 weeks. I met him through my best friend (which is a whole other story) and within a day he asked me if I would be down to hook up.
Outside of this, we just became very good friends. Harry is a genuinely good, sweet guy. He’s always checking in and has a clear interest in my day. It has made me feel pretty great, and I quickly fell head over heels.
However, I’m moving away in a few weeks. He has said a few times not to get too attached or fall for him due to me moving and him not wanting me to be sad. I said that there were no worries there because there was no way, and I wasn’t like that (and normally I’m not). Of course, by then it was too late, and I was very much into him.
He also wants to keep the whole thing a secret, and we actually didn’t talk to each other for the first hour or so, until the alcohol kicked in and I had the balls to actually talk to him. It was going ok until it wasn’t.
I can’t remember all of what I’d said, but I do remember bits and pieces: “Did you know, you’re like super fucking hot.” Which then led into, “I have the biggest crush on you, and it sucks because nothing can come of it.” Some blah blah blah. “Why don’t you like me?” He then said that we just didn’t have the time. I started rambling, but basically boiled down to, “It really sucks, but I’m ok just having sex with you.” I didn’t quite catch what he said, but he didn’t sound happy, and I think it was something like ‘you really shouldn’t be saying that.’
Mind you, we were the only ones in the house because everyone else was outside, so no one else heard it.
I got ‘upset’ and when my friend Gabrielle came inside to grab something, I hugged her and was very sadly saying, “I fucked it all up man. I just fucked it all up,” while Harry was practically right next to me.
When we were waiting for an uber, I sadly asked if he hated me. He said No, of course not. I said, “I really don’t want you to hate me…I’m sorry…I understand if you want to end things now.” He didn’t give much of a response.
Which then brings us to now. I messaged him this morning to again apologise, saying that I was sorry for saying the things I did and that it was wrong of me. I reiterated that I understood if he wanted to end things, and that I was again very sorry for fucking it up.
He’s seen it, but hasn’t responded, which I think is answer enough.
I’m quite upset over what happened and I’m kicking myself for fucking up something I enjoyed so much, and I’m scared to lose this friend, because he’s been so good for me up til this point, and I genuinely couldn’t imagine not talking to him every day.
I’m lost and confused and don’t want to lose him but I don’t know what to do. I’m going to give him space though, and let him decide where we go from here.
TLDR; I got way too drunk and confessed my feelings to the guy I've been hooking up with, and have probably ruined our friendship

2023.06.08 01:06 JeyDeeArr Would You Read Butch's Origin Story?

Excluding the main duo, Butch is my favorite character from the show, and I thought, "what if I were to make an original interpretation of his early life?"
Ever since I made the "Tom & Jerry Interview" comic, which was received fairly well, I'd been wanting to make one which focuses on other characters, especially Butch. Rather than being a behind-the-scenes comic, however, my idea is to make it feel like a biography for Butch as an actor.
Some might see him as just a black Tom, but I see him as a major supporting character in the show. Several episodes such as "Baby Butch" (1954) has him as the protagonist, and not to forget, he had his own short in the form of 1941's "The Alley Cat".
Nothing is set in stone yet, but my storyboard goes like this:
  1. Butch was originally from somewhere in the east coast, possibly New York based on his accent. He was a rather prideful cat, and wanted to make it big. In late 1939, he took a bus to the west coast to become a star in Hollywood.
  2. He auditioned for a role in "Puss Gets The Boot", which Tom (then known as "Jasper") gets. Despite this, Butch still manages to land the lead for "The Alley Cat", along with the supporting cast of Spike and Toodles. Spike was previously a stage actor, whereas Toodles was also making her debut. Butch was very excited, and secretly developed the hots for Toodles.
  3. Butch keeps adding to the script, and has issues with the studio over the creative direction, leading to the film entering development hell, and take over a year to complete. Released to the public on July of 1941, the film utlimately flops. Following this, Butch is unable to land a role for over two years, leading him to struggle financially and mentally. In the meantime, Tom and Jerry become a huge hit, and Butch's co-star from his debut film, Spike, becomes a recurring character on the duo's series. Toodles, on the other hand, isn't able to find a job in Hollywood, and is mostly forgotten.
  4. Tom recognizes Butch's talents, and wishes to work with him. At first, Butch is hesitant to work with Tom, but accepts Tom's offer to appear in "Baby Puss" in 1943 under the condition to also feature Toodles in future films, since Butch felt responsible for jeopardizing Toodles' career.
  5. Butch is relegated to playing second fiddle to Tom, and initially envied the blue cat. Despite the (mostly one-sided) animosity, however, Butch learns humility, and becomes more open to taking hard bumps. Butch and Tom get to know each other, and learn to respect one another for their skillset.
  6. By 1946, Butch is seen as a strong support, and whenever he appears, he leaves a lasting impression. Over the following decade, he's become a household name, he scores big in real estate, is a multi-millionaire, and marries Toodles, who was his very first dance partner since arriving to Hollywood. Upon the retirement of Tom and Jerry in 1960 (I consider different eras to be different "actors", like how Spider-Man has Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland), Butch chose to retire from acting as well, and continued his ventures as a wealthy businesscat.
I'm open to suggestions on improving this storyboard, as it's admittedly still in its early stage. My question now is, would you all be interested in reading this story if it were a comic?

2023.06.08 01:03 Ryugar The Alchemical work, Stone, and is Phosphorus the Key element?

I wanted to discuss my theories on this whole mystery behind the alchemical work, the philosphores stone, and why urine always seems to be brought up. The idea that urine is the starting point seems both silly but also makes a weird kind of sense.... the whole idea that urine is like a filtered extract "liquid gold" that we process from what we eat/drink. I always see it mentioned with just vague comments on what you are supposed to do with this urine. I also think phosphorus being found and identified first by an alchemist in urine is a pretty cool and interesting fact. Also, for the philosopher stone... things like a kidney stone being like a crystal or pearl like substance that calcifies and forms in our bladder (and sometimes so large it gets stuck in there). So our body in a sense is actually like a transforming agent that produces a stone/crystal/pearl. It could be possible there is something to extract from it.

I have probably thought way too much about this.... but I often thought Phosphorus was one of the key elements that is supposed to be worked on. It is found in ATP, the basic energy molecule in our body. Phosphorus is a greek name which means "light bearer", and has ties to the name lucifer in latin, as well as the "morning star" being the planet Venus which is the brightest star in the night sky. There are also interesting simlarities in the names of phosphorus and sulfur, pho-sefora and sulfur is either sefora or sul-fora. Another naming similaritie between "phosphorus" and "philosopher". Sulfur and Brimstone has an obvious tie to hell. I am not christian and don't pay much attention to the whole "heaven hell" and various sins, but the idea of this "lucifer" as a fallen angel, perhaps there is some hidden symbolism here about trying to purify this element, or "remove the sin" from this element. Sulfur being like the fallen angel, while Phosporus is either before the corruption, or a purified version. Sulfur the element is also important in the body, as it creates an important bond the sulfur bridges in dna, and sunlight (aka God in this metaphor) sunlight will actually break the sulfur bridges and can break the bonds of these dna protein structures which can sometimes be good but also bad as it is how things like skin cancer are formed. But I find it funny and interesting that sunlight can effect sulfur like that.

Back to Phosphorus.... it has various stages or forms it can take, depending on how it is extracted and heated. The colors are white (or yellow) > red (or scarlet) > violet purple > black. It actually reminds me of alchemy and the different stages like albedo, citrine, rubedo, and negredo. Which is another interesting correlation. Each colophase has a different chemical structure and everything too, which you can look at in the wiki link I have below. Some of the phases are hard to achieve and need to be prepared carefully and at certain temperatures. IF I had to take a guess at which phase is the possible goal, it would prob be the Violet color as it seems to be rare and difficult to achieve as it needs a specific temp to achieve that state.

Phosphor is interesting too as it is what causes the glow in fluroescent/phosporescent organisms. There is this quote from the wiki:
""Since its discovery, phosphors and phosphorescence were used loosely to describe substances that shine in the dark without burning. Although the term phosphorescence is derived from phosphorus, the reaction that gives phosphorus its glow is properly called chemiluminescence (glowing due to a cold chemical reaction), not phosphorescence (re-emitting light that previously fell onto a substance and excited it).[31]""

I remember reading in alchemy about monks sitting in a dark room and told to find the fire that burns in the dark (or something vague and mysterious like that), and phosphors will glow or shine in the dark without burning.... so a cold fire not a hot one, that glows from within and not just reflecting or reemitting a light from an outside source. Do humans have an aura? Do we emit some kind of bioilluminesence? Can we change or alter this glow, and gain some benefit from it? All very interesting point to think and ponder about IMO.

All very interesting points that to me seem to suggest a possible greater purpose for this element Phosphorus. Only thing is that if extracted from urine, I am sure you would only be able to get a small amount of the salt extract. So you would need alot of urine, or get it from other sources which is why I thought of something like cows which probably already are a source to refilter and reuse farm animal waste for fertilizer and manure. The wiki says phosphorus was mainly found thru urine, bone ash, and bird guana..... all basically waste products that can be reused to get a useful element for things like fertilizer. One mans waste/trash is another mans treasure right? Also could be seen as another example of "purifying the sin", with sin being just waste products of humans or animals. It is like the cycle of life, the cycle of resources, and getting the prima materia or whatever from what we excrete and reusing it for our benefit.... turning this waste/death into energy/life.

Anyways, any thoughts? Here is the wiki link for anyone interested to read up more about this. I would love to hear some actual opinions on this, with real discussion and not just vague answers.

2023.06.08 00:57 Csczero Ex keeps giving me mix signals

My ex gf and I broke up about 1.5 months ago. She told me we might be able to maintain contact, even though she normally doesn't with her past ex. I end up reaching out too early in our breakup so she asked for space and we went no contact for about 3 weeks. She reached out about some of her belongings and mentioned we can talk. At the time she was going through family troubles, so she blew up and I end up taking the heat and she told me she doesn't want to talk to me. She went as far as to blocking my phone number. At that point, I thought it was over for good. Final closure.
Kicker. She unblocks me the next week and apologizes to me and explains to me what was going on in her life. In the same text, she tells me she wants to talk but to give her some time to deal with what's going on.
A week goes by (no contact)and I go to check in to see where things stand. I get yelled at and got told she doesn't want to talk to me. We ended the conversation. Her last response was we can talk after she returns from a trip which is in 1.5 weeks.
Am I going crazy or are these mix signals mentally draining? One week she wants to talk, next week I'm getting yelled at and being told she doesn't want to talk. This hot and cold game is just draining. I'm at the point where I should just wait the 1.5 weeks and see what happens or just walk away from everything.

I've been playing a lot of Stardew Valley recently on my phone. That means I've been neglecting my island on Animal Crossing!
I love a variety of music and I have one favorite podcast... I'll even share them with you!
You can always ask me more! Have a nice day, night, weekend (coming up in a few days).

No tldr. I'm sorry. I don't even know how I would begin to whittle it down to a tldr. I appreciate your compassion and time for taking time to read it all.
Preface: I am unable to bring him to the vet as of right now, because lack of funds, as my original cat had babies(his litter mates) and my plan is to find other homes for them, so it was never my intention to actively need to take care of more than two cats. Although because of this I am going to plan on saving a cat everybody find on top of a regular emergency fund(ADHD, everything is planned but I'm not there yet). So I really just need ideas of what might be going on. I completely understand that because there is no physical examination, I won't get the 100% correct answer, but if there's anything I can do to rule out something, that's what I'm after. I know generally one should just bring them into the vet right away, I don't need that sort of comment. (But again, if it could possibly be very bad, with an explanation why, I think my family will help me, so if you think it's bad or could turn really bad and I should bring him to a vet, that I'll accept)
Also, if it does seem serious enough, I believe I can talk one of my siblings to help pay for the vet if needed. Right now his symptoms have remained the same since it started, so on the outside nothing has gotten worse. But I understand cats don't show pain and things could be at work under the surface.
I have a 3 month old boy and he's so cuddly and loves to chase stray flys that randomly always seem to get in. It's entertainment for them so I don't necessarily mind the random fly or three.
However, in the past week, he's started to develop a cough. It sounds pretty dry, and it's not all the time. He might go for an hour or two(sleeping and/or awake) just fine and then sometimes it's just like a throat clearing sound like one or two, almost even like a hiccup but cough sound, and sometimes he sits for 30 seconds like he's about to spit up a hairball, but doesn't.
During these 30 second attacks, he tries to keep his head low and his butt up, as if something is going to come out... But I've checked and I haven't found any fluid on carpets or counters where he's coughed, or hair. I keep thinking it's like post nasal drip, or the cat version, and he only coughs until he doesn't feel it in his throat anymore and he can swallow it comfortably. it's pretty random when it happens, as in it's not just after he eats or when he wakes up, or if he plays for a bit. It doesn't seem to have a pattern, only that it happens.
He does play, he runs around, he chases the other cats and roughhouses. I've noticed he started to sleep away from the other cats in seclusion(my anxiety had me crying because of cats and separating themselves and what that could mean) but maybe he's just trying to get actual restful sleep... If I lay down next to him for support he tends to leave as if he's been bothered. So it's really only when he's trying to rest that he secludes himself.
While he was sleeping, his respiratory rate was about 20 a minute, which seems to be right on par with normal, at least from the limited research I've done. From what I can tell his gums look fine, no purples or blues. I don't know if it's true that a dry nose means sickness, but his nose has been moist everytime i check.
And then here comes in the environmental changes that's happened in the past week(about the same time his cough started):.
-my AC has been running pretty consistently, I usually do half AC and then turn it off and open windows, but it's been way too hot and humid. I want to do a deep clean of my AC, and today has been decent so I have the windows open. But to soon to make an difference if that is the problem. I'm going to try no AC tomorrow as well.
-i recently was donated a half bag of cat food from someone who's cat didn't like it, but it turned out to be the exact type of cat food I typically buy... Sam's Club Meow Mix Blend. The past couple of bags of cat food I've just been getting the regular meow mix. I have been slowly adding a cup or two of the "new" stuff to help transition, probably reaching about 50/50 when he started coughing, but that's just a guess. The bag was half full, and was only tied at the top by the plastic pull thing at the top oof the bag. I do not know how it was stored, but the other cats aren't having a reaction to it.
-i got a mattress from a friend, who had two cats and a dog.. that I haven't put sheets on yet(thanks ADHD) so I was thinking maybe there's a potential allergy? I have a mattress cover for it so I put that on it and will be putting sheets on it once I wash them.
Besides that, I did have friend over who I let smoke in the house for a couple of days straight when he visited(I only vape). I've decided to not have him smoke inside anymore, and I'm trying to cut my vaping down inside to only when I have my fan blowing out the window(it's right by my head basically) and even then I'm trying to go outside more.
Should I be concerned? Wait no... How concerned should I be? I feel like I can get help from a family member of it worsens or maybe even if it sounds like it could be bad or potentially pretty bad before it worsens. I haven't noticed teary eyes or nose crusties. Literally just the cough.
I'm sorry for the long post, my Reassurance OCD is kicking in, and my general anxiety that makes me lost anything that might help kicked in as well.
Again, I understand that reddit can't diagnose, I'm only looking for for advice on what I can do, what it might/could be. And please, don't worry about my anxieties and OCD when you're replying. OCD might not be logical sometimes, but I still can be and I understand that these will be guesses/educated guesses and not certainties.
I appreciate anyone's and everyone's time. Thank you for reading this. Also as I typed this last sentence, he's sleeping and made his cough hiccup noise twice, but is still laying down and went right back to sleep.
Sorry for any grammaspelling mistakes. I will edit as I reread this,after I post it. I hate scrolling through the phone app:s text block.

2023.06.08 00:55 OkAnswer9725 Porn has ruined my child years.

cw// nsfw, body image talk, porn mentions, masturbation, minors touching each other, religious sex shaming, sex (it's literally all about sex.) Sorry if the flair is wrong, i don't really know how to tag it.
My dad always kept these bikini magazines in a bin under our TV. I remember looking into the bins once not knowing what was in there and I saw them. I looked through them and it started a habit of waiting until he left in the morning for work and looking at all the women in the magazines.
Then one day I somehow discovered a porn CD case, it was empty and everything was censored with those little white stars on the "parts" yet I'd still wait until my dad left to sneak the cases and look at the pictures.
I then discovered the CD's and starting watching them. I didn't even touch myself, I just watched. There's only two CD's I kinda remember because I watched them at risky moments. I was a really young child, around preschool to kindergarten age watching porn CDs and looking at women in bikinis.
I remember I got caught watching a video once because I had two CDs playing, one on our portable CD player and one on my big TV.
Then fast forward to maybe 1st or 2nd grade, my Dad got an iPad. I'd wake up in the morning while he was at work and I'd immediately go to play games on it. One day, he left his bookmarks open and there were a couple porn videos saved and some (normal) music videos. I'd always watch the porn, no touching, just watching. Then I learned to search the sites myself and I would just watch and watch every morning. I remember my dad even left a porn tab open once and in the morning when I went to turn on the iPad, I clicked safari and boom, instant porn.
He found out about me watching it because I didn't know how to close tabs and he told me to watch kids stuff and not to watch it anymore.
Flash forward a bit, I got onto Instagram and Wattpad and Quotev at some point (I think I was 11). On Quotev I'd read fanfics about a boy group I liked, most were innocent but some had smut and I'd read it often. Same with Wattpad, in fact I got into roleplay and unfortunately did sexual roleplays. When I got onto instagram I'd search for softcore accounts and hentai accounts and just look at the pictures. I even met some adult men through it and unfortunately had inappropriate convos in dms.
Playing would dolls I would make them strip or I'd have them naked and I'd make them ✂
In second grade I had a best friend and I made up this thing called "sex bets" and we'd touch each other on the bus, we kissed once, and we would flash out parts at each other. It stopped sometime during that year though. We were both young and unfortunately encountered porn.
I made a friend in 2nd grade who was a 3rd grader and we had a sleepover once, she would put balloons in her shirt so it'd look like she had a big chest and she'd fall on me and my friend like they do in anime. We also played with dolls once but instead of normal dolls, we role played sex with the dolls and I also introduced her to this sex game website (it was like horny gamer or something) and she'd play the games all day long.
I also would daydream about sex scenes in class and would look up "girls kissing" or "lesbians in bikinis kissing" on youtube on my grandma's phone without even knowing what lesbians were. I'd remember when YouTube used to have kissing scenes from porn videos and they'd stop and tell me to watch porn videos on the websites and I'd get so annoyed because I thought porn meant poor.
I remember once I went to Indiana to visit my godfamily (mother's best friend) and I met two girls. I played with them for a bit and then we ended up playing charades I think. There was this one gesture I couldn't get, and then they told me the answer and it was sexual. They outright told me that they like sexual things. We were really young at this time too, I was in 4th grade and they were my age or younger. Honestly I was uncomfortable at that time.
I discovered games like IMVU and Moviestarplanet and sometimes I'd do sexual roleplays with people I met on there. I even remember lying about my age so that on IMVU I could see all the adult rooms. I saw someone post a dick pic on IMVU and I saved it to my gallery and my parents found it and took away my phone. They also saw screen shots from porn websites and one day they found my account for when I signed up for a sex story website (pretty sure it was XNXX). They didn't punish me though because I wormed my way of it. I lied and said it was a link sent by someone on Wattpad and they believed it for a bit.
My grandma ended up getting a computer and I would play games on that website on it. She caught me once but I lied out of it. I also watched porn on my other grandmas tablet and she caught me but I lied again. She asked me if I knew what porn was once and I lied and said no because my dad told her that I knew what it was.
I discovered masturbation in 5th grade and would start to touch myself everytime I watched porn. It wasn't everyday but it was like 2-3 times a week. I was so aggressive too that now I can't handle any type of direct contact on my clitoris and I also just found out now that it'd hurt after because my nails were so long and they'd dig into my skin and scratch down there when I masturbated.
I was pretty normal during 6th to 8th grade because I was starting to get actual hobbies and stepping away from roleplay and fanfics and instead talked to real teenagers in Instagram group chats. I remember once in art class these two girls I was friends with were discussing whether I was a top or a bottom and it made me so uncomfortable that I stopped talking in that class completely until well.. Covid.
I was starting to become disgusted by porn and sex yet I'd still masturbate. I even worried I was doing it too often but my hormones would get the best of me. I could see a picture of a woman in a bikini or some boobs and I'd immediately get aroused and would masturbate. I even had a wet dream.
During COVID I started hanging out with teens on discord and this was during the maid outfit craze. I wanted to order one and I even tried ordering this cow lingerie set off Aliexpress and a vibrator because the people in my friend group were 14-17 and they had sexual humor and would talk about how they had vibrators. I even stole my mom's once (I washed it before and after using) I used it 5 times and then quit.
I'd take picture and get jealous of the pretty girls that could wear makeup and had flat stomaches and I'd try to take more risque pictures like them. I was 14 comparing myself to 15+ year olds.. I wasn't even fat, I was skinny yet I had a little baby fat on my belly. During the thigh pic era on tiktok I took pictures of myself sitting in weird positions that show my thighs to send them in discord servers with other teenagers. I even had someone elses body as my pfp and mine as there's but I changed the pfp after a week because I felt so grossed out after sexualizing myself.
Even now I find myself trying to "act my age" and take photos where you can see my stomach or my chest. But I'm only 17, there's nothing with my peace sign obsession. I'd always delete the pics immediately after because I'd be disgusted at the thought of sexualizing myself. I am trying to quit watching porn but it's so addicting and now that I know it's wrong and see others bash others for watching it I still can't help but watch it, I feel shame after masturbating and can't look in the mirror after. I do it sometimes once a week, once every two, at most 2 days in a row when I'm really aroused. I can't even talk or think about sex without getting aroused. I sometimes daydream about sex but only when I'm really bored.
I want to be seen as hot and attractive like other 17 year olds I see on social media but it's not me. I feel grossed out. I like covering myself up. I hate going out and my shirt is so short or my pants are so tight that you can see my butt. I hate wearing shirts that are so low you can see a bit of my chest. I hate reading about sexual experiences people post on Tiktok. I hate when certain people (sometimes even adults) turn non sexual things into things that are sexual. I hate sex scenes in shows. I hate how much music is about sex. I hate sex so much and I hate that I crave it.
My parents also got into the religion that shames masturbation and porn so I used to feel religious guilt but now that I secretly left the religion I don't worry about going to hell for pleasuring myself.
I noticed some weird things about me over the years. Sometimes when I'm doing something and I'm almost done but taking a bit long to finish, like typing this whole post, I get a weird sensation down there, almost like I'm being edged and it makes me so overwhelmed I have to take a deep breath and stop for a bit. I don't have to do anything sexual I just get the feeling.
I recently looked on reddit to see if it'd be weird for me to get a sex toy even though I'm 17. I almost bought one off Amazon but I decided against it because I can't hide it and I'd also be disgusted if I got it.
I'm so repulsed but I keep watching porn. Porn really ruined me and I'm glad I realized it now.

Old school bus driver
This isn’t a complaint just a moment that to me was truly Irish .. so I had the kids down the west of Clare for last few days and had a great time - anyways was been hounded for an ice cream so headed off home and stopped in a small village so they could grab one. off they went and I was in the car waiting now it was later in afternoon but still bloody hot in the car so had engine and air con on still not comfortable.. this mini TFI local bus pulls up and driver hops out and heads in to shop wearing what can only be described as that weird orange design 70’s style polo shirt like the wallpaper in the picture .. I’m waiting about 5 min at this pint now I’m not sure how long but a little then 10 min later yer man comes out of the shop and is doing his best to demolish a 99, hops back on bus and pulls away .. as he was getting in I had a look at the passengers and an old lady up the front was fanning herself with a book didn’t look happy, old fella behind her very well dressed with a cravat and all (bet he regretted it) looked scarlet with rage or the heat and some folks at the back who looked like tourist were laughing their heads off.. it reminded me of days in Clare as a kid and I’m glad there is some local things that still are part of us … there isn probably a post on Reddit from some tourists recounting the 10 mins in a boiling bus while the driver got himself an ice cream and the laugh they had at it ..

2023.06.08 00:53 matt_ex Northern Nights Music Festival Phase 2 is live!

Northern Nights Music Festival Phase 2 is live!
Today, Northern Nights Music Festival has announced the phase two music lineup and revealed more cannabis details for its 10th anniversary, taking place in Northern California’s iconic Redwood Forest this July 14-16. With an eclectic music lineup, top-tier cannabis and wellness programming, and serene natural landscapes, Northern Nights remains one of North America’s most unique boutique festival experiences.
The festival’s dedication to discovering new artists continues to make it a staple of the West Coast festival season. Cook’s Valley Campground in the heart of the Emerald Triangle serves as the picturesque backdrop for fans to explore fresh talents alongside performances from some of the top names in electronic music.
With phase two, Northern Nights has added Belgian drum and bass legend Netsky, the genre-bending style of MiMOSA, the unique sounds of Santa Cruz act KR3TURE, and Denver producer NotLö as she continues her rapid ascension in the world of bass music. Phase two continues with rising names in the scene including ION, High Step Society, Spüke, Truthlive, Naughty Princess, Casmalia, and more.
The phase one lineup included the Northern Nights debut of live multi-instrumentalist duo Big Gigantic and returning favorite G Jones, the bass music icon whose epic sound design was bred from the coastal forest landscapes of Northern California. Additional Northern Nights firsts on phase one included GRAMMY-winning producer Mura Masa, multi-genre producer and Young Art label head TOKiMONSTA, and house hitmaker Dr. Fresch.
For its 10th anniversary, Northern Nights will continue its reputation as an innovator in the festival space by delivering a fully integrated cannabis experience powered by Weedmaps, Embarc Events, Cvalt, and One Log House. This activation will do away with the ‘cannabis garden’ model pioneered by NNMF and perpetuated by other events around California, incorporating cannabis vending into the venue footprint itself for the first time at a music festival. Fulfillment via the Weedmaps platform and designated purchase pickup zones will enable open sales throughout the event, creating a new model that reimagines how cannabis sales can be merged into the festival experience.
The NN23 Tree Lounge returns with a new centrally located cannabis activation featuring cannabis sales, live music, shade, misters, and vibes. There will also be festival-wide cannabis experiences curated by Royal Blunts, AbsoluteXtracts (ABX) + Farmer & The Felon, and Arcata Fire, Rising Source x Ridgeline Farms, Madrone, and Boonville Farm (BNVL). An Emerald Triangle independent farms curated menu & farmers market with the finest herb from the best producers in the world! Additional sponsors include Monster Energy and Waterloo.
Northern Nights will also become the first music festival to create its own in-house cannabis strain. Following a multi-year process of pheno-hunting for the best cannabis qualities, Northern Nights will have seeds available on-site for both personal and commercial sales along with flower available for sampling at the Tree Lounge. Created in collaboration with world-renowned breeder Humboldt Seed Company, the new “Northern Nights” strain relies on proprietary genetics while furthering the commitment of the organizers to revolutionize the ways that cannabis culture can be showcased in a music festival format while supporting local curators. The event has always represented the tip of the spear when it comes to bringing cannabis programming into the music festival arena. In 2019, Northern Nights became the first music festival to have legal onsite cannabis sales and consumption, establishing the event as a pioneering force in the legalization that has swept the country. In 2022, Northern Nights became the first music festival to have dispensaries located at stages and the first music festival to have multiple on-site dispensaries.
The festival has also announced its Movement & Wellness phase one lineup in collaboration with Movement Makers, which includes breathwork practices, sound healing experiences, primal movement, exploratory dance, community education circles, live music & arts integration, and much more including a variety of yoga classes and a cacao ceremony.
At Northern Nights, attendees will get the chance to experience seven unique stages which include the massive Main Stage in the middle of the festival, the River Stage that allows guests to hang in the water while watching performances, the Grove Stage tucked away in the Redwoods, and the Bunker Stage for those who want to keep the party going. Fans can also catch music at the Tree Lounge along with the Wellness Stage, plus a Surprise Stage featuring exclusive performances.
Anywhere Outpost Glamping tents are now on sale for those looking for a more luxury experience, which include furnished bedroom tents, lounge tents, air-conditioned restrooms with flushing toilets, exclusive hot outdoor showers, and a complimentary beverage bar. Need a ride and/or want to #NNGreenTeam it? Redwood Ford of Ukiah will be providing shuttle services from STS to NN all day Friday 7/14 as well as scheduled drop offs back to STS on both Sunday 7/16 and Monday 7/17. Get to and from the festival in style, meet new friends, save the planet and get back to work on time thanks to Redwood Ford!
Chart your journey now to one of the most unique festival experiences of the year. Tickets for Northern Nights Music Festival are available now on the festival’s website.

2023.06.08 00:50 Renarii I had a TM related dream that was pretty screwed up, so thought I'd share.

I’m asleep, however I get woken up, I’m laying on the floor with a blanket and a pillow, I’m in a room full of other people trying to sleep. My father is the one that woke me up he’s nagging me to find a girl that I like. I roll over and try to go back to sleep, however he’s persistent. I get angry and get up and go to the nearby bathroom, I just want to sleep. My father gets up after I go into the bathroom I can hear him tell my gram, aunt and mother that I found someone I liked and I’m panicking in the bathroom. I know this is a lie. All 3 of them knock and I tell that that I’m angry, I want to punch something, I clench my fist and tell them that I just want to go to sleep. I leave the bathroom and go down stairs, I fall asleep on the couch.
The next morning I wake up and there’s tons of people running around. Various people in swimsuits, I go outside and everyone seems to be having fun. There’s a long line of people going into one of the buildings outside. I approach a group of 3 guys and ask them what’s going on, they reply with the vague answer “you need a partner to go in”. I find it odd but nod and continue down near the nearby river. It seems something was setup here to turn part of the river into some sort of hot spring. I go down and sit in the water there’s bubbles coming up from the middle of the pool, the water is warm. Various others are splashing around and having fun. After a few minutes of relaxing someone comes and sits down next to me they say “you need a partner to go in”. I find this situation off-putting, this is the second time I heard that phrase. I get up and start walking around, I see Mordred I think maybe she’ll be my partner and I can go see what this thing is about. I walk over and ask Mordred if she knows what this thing is about. Once standing next to her I realize she looks extremely drained. She replies, I already went in, I finally got all the dead man skin off of me, she brushes her thigh which has scratches on it.
I'll leave it to your imagination how it ends.

2023.06.08 00:49 heyo_tayo Landlord / Tenant Issue

So basically I’ve lived in my current apartment since last August. It’s been hell on earth here since day one. In their lease it says that if maintenance isn’t done within 7 days, the tenant is entitled to compensation. Well three separate main times I’ve had issues with these “amenities” breaking and not being fixed until after the 7 days. I moved in with a nonfunctioning microwave that took a month to replace. I went a month without internet. My hot water was turned off for over a week. The entrance and exit gates also never work. I’ve never paid late, I am clean, I pick up after my dog. The apartment management won’t give me refunds, the leasing company itself won’t give me refunds. They’ve blocked me on all social media because I’m posting the truth about them. None of the staff will take my calls or answer my texts. I haven’t been rude to them one time, just posting the truth. Staff is also stalking me on my pages with their personal accounts. It’s insanity. I’ve never even gotten a sorry or anything for this. Just trying to figure out how to get my money back. They owe me at least $700.

2023.06.08 00:48 SANFORDDDDD Not sure if I (26M) want a relationship - but there's a super sweet man (26M)?

I've been closeted and shamed about being gay most of my life, till age 24.
Until 24, I would hookup with a man maybe twice a year and feel MASSIVE internal shame about it.
However, at 24, I got into a 2 year abusive relationship with a narcissist.

I'm now 26, 6 months post breakup and I've embraced my sexuality, have done so much healing myself and I'm finally enjoying hooking up with countless people.
It's quite a thrill to actually enjoy the one offs, the public stuff, orgies, anonymous hookups and just dancing with randoms at the club having fun. There's a lot to the gay hookup culture that most don't know. I didn't even know. I'm a decently good looking man, which makes it even more fun. I feel like I'm embracing me and just enjoying life.

Anyways, I'm talking to this man that is a walking green flag. We met at the club. As soon as I walked in, I saw him and wanted him badly. We danced for HOURS. Great dancer - just initially connected without speaking much at all.
He's incredibly my type and hot - body, assets and face too. Great friends, is honest, cares about people, is empathetic, sweet, we talk the perfect amount (no lonvebombing), he's a healing empath like me and he's driven with his work. He's also quite assertive at the same time with what he wants and doesn't (part of the healed people-pleasing he shows).
He's a very eclectic person as well. He knows all latin languages, have a totally different upbringing than me and just has an absolute zest for life that I find so interesting. He builds me up and pushes me to focus on my own studies too -- even if that means not hanging out.

Now I'm conflicted. I would like a relationship. Someone to care for, love and do life with.
But I'm enjoying being single. Not having to check in with another person and deal with all the drama. Part of me thinks a "relationship" might be the shitty one I had last, and so maybe I'm subconsciously protecting myself by not wanting to go back to THAT.
So I'm finding it hard to "fall" for this person. Not sure why and normally my introspection is great to figure things out about myself.
I just can't figure this one out.

TLDR; was closed gay that rarely hooked up my entire life. Got into and left a 2 year emotionally abusive relationship with a narcissist. Now I'm enjoying being single doing WILD hookups and enjoying/embracing my sexuality and me. However, met a man that checks seemingly all the boxes that I'm looking for in a partner and does not display many red flags at all (I think he's a healing empath like me). I don't know what I want? Not sure why I'm not "all in" on this guy? Is it because I want to be single or just not into him? Lingering trauma still?

2023.06.08 00:48 Fendaan [WORK IN PROGRESS] Deadlands Character Background Generator

The Pathfinder RPG has a very detailed character background generator in Ultmate Campaign, and I've seen several generic fantasy generator tables, but nothing like it for Deadlands. So, I thought I'd make one.
Since character creation is done with cards instead of dice for the random tables, I decided to follow suit. I'm going to start with 14-15 entries per category, but would like to expand to a full 54.
All of these should be flavor only to work with Classic, Reloaded, or any other system. I want to make sure they are Weird West flavored, but not overly specific yet
