German Cockroach Infestation: Timeline - 1 year and some change.
Kitchen, also bathroom with some travelers now going into other rooms because of lack of food in kitchen.
I have used gentrol, boric acid, glue traps, and bait in conjunction before it didn’t do a thing. I am currently bathing my house in diatomaceous earth because I’m desperate. I have a pest control guy who comes in every 3-4 months (I live in government housing he’s suppose to come every month and doesn’t the landlord was upset to hear that.) I got the infestation due to a neighbor who had both cockroaches and bedbugs (praying everyday those don’t find their way here) I honestly can say I’m traumatized from this now. I was a glad to be homemaker before this, I cooked every meal cleaned daily. I enjoyed doing it so much and took pride in my cleanly home and now I barely leave my bedroom because they’re just everywhere. I don’t cook, we don’t keep food in the house, the only food we have is cat food and it’s now in cans. I have moved basically every dish out of the house because they just used it to live in or my husband would cook when I wasn’t home and just feed them from just leaving them in the sink or the stove and I couldn’t handle it anymore so no dishes so that can’t happen. My quality of life has diminished to nothing and I am clawing my way out of this apartment as fast as I can with a hell of a lot of set backs. For now I have to live here and I need help. They aren’t afraid of us, they are everywhere. I see at least 3 alive a day and more dead. I see the young ones and grown ones alike. I’m on day two of just using diatomaceous earth in every room along every baseboard and the kitchen is basically nothing but it at this point. I have seen at least 10 alive today with it on it some I’ve killed and some I’m trying to let go back home to die with the rest of them. What do I do? Is this going to be enough? I use bait as well and they just never seem to die guys I’ve been consistent and I’m just dying a little inside at this point.

There aren't a lot of things people can do over the internet, so please be somewhat interested in gaming or watching stuff online? I've been playing many random roguelike games such as Gunfire Reborn and Dead Estate. Some of my favorites are The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and Skul: The Hero Slayer. My go-to chill game of course is Stardew Valley cause that game is well... chill lol. I don't play FFXIV, Valorant, DbD, Diablo 4 (fuck actiblizzard), or Minecraft. Sorry, just never got into those games. I have PLENTY of other games of course. Or we could watch movies or binge some shows/anime. Really lacking in anime watching lately so I need to get cracking on that lol. I don't mind if you are clingy. Punch me in the face and call me crazy I guess. You probably should have a sense of humor cause I'll say dumb shit that I think is funny. You probably should like memes and be ok with awkward quiet moments. I'll also say random shit to break the ice. Be ready. e_e
I'm not saying all that stuff is the be-all-end-all for me, but lately, I find that most people that message me end up not having similar interests at all. Which is kind of a bummer.
I'm also trying to work on myself. And that can be a drag lol.
Despite sounding like a REAL MONSTROSITY OF A PERSON... I'm actually not that bad. I'd like to think I can make people laugh if you get me talking. Send a PM if none of this has scared you away lol. Please write something more than "hi". I most likely won't respond if you don't give me something to work with lol. Just give me a small basic rundown of yourself, please. No pressure!

Corpse party is the first horror game I ever encountered and holds a special place in my heart. But despite how much I love CP it's got a few parts that I despise. I won't be talking much about the sequels because I haven't played them (and I've heard nothing good about them).
Best in atmosphere
CP absolutely nails it's atmosphere. Heavenly Host is such a bleak and hopeless location, and that hopelessness is amplified by all the notes left by other people who died there before you. I cant describe the area as another other than a hopeless hell.
Worst in annoying punishments
You can get punished for enjoying the atmosphere. Reading too many of these notes can net you a wrong end. I personally despise when games punish you for engaging with a core mechanic.
Best in terrifying endings
The wrong ends often encapsulate the best part of horror. What you cannot see. Many of them are only text and sound effects on a pitch black screen, forcing your imagination to fill in the blanks. And your mind can always make things far scarier than they are. The wrong end where you're buried alive gave me many a sleepless nights. I would always feel so bad for the characters too. The VAs did an amazing job.
Worst in making smart characters
The characters act brain dead way too often. The dumbest ones are Satoshi and Mayu. Mayu and her giga brain decided that she should stay with the ghosts of murdered children in a horrifying looking school. There's kindness and then there's stupidity. Satoshi is far worse in my opinion. Yuka (his sister) needs to use the bathroom but since they're in a haunted school nothing works. Instead of making her go in a corner while he looks away, this GENIUS decides to let her go in a separate room. For those who don't know, the school exists in a multiversal plane and the rooms change as you exit and enter. As a result his kid sister is sent off to a random location and possibly gets killed by another student trapped in HH. But the most foolish thing he does comes in the time loop ending (which seems to be the canon one according to the sequels).
In the time loop ending the cast escapes the school but are sent into a time loop which would force them to relive it over and over again. Satoshi is the only one who keeps his memories. So when his friends are getting ready to do the ritual does Satoshi:
A. Smack the paper to the floor and act like a maniac until they decide not to do the ritual
B. Warn his friends and if they ignore, leave the room and save yourself and your sister
C. Do the ritual with them to "save" them
He went with C. I understand that if everyone in horror was Einstein junior a lot would be avoided. But here just having a basic sense of self-preservation and common sense would avoid a lot.
Its pretty good 👍
CP isn't the pinnacle of horror despite me calling it the best in some parts, but I think that the game does an incredible job at what it gets right. It does stumble quite a bit in some areas. But despite the longest section being negative I have nothing but love for the first game. I can't say the same about the others though...

Hi so I dont know how to start. (Im 16 year old if that's important)
Lately I have been feeling numb? But i think that's a wrong Word to describe it.
i cant feel physical pain, i mean it does hurt but it doesnt at the same time its tickls for me, but that's not all i cannot cry. I dont Rember the last time i cried just becasue i felt bad i can cry if sometimes makes me tear up like a movie but i cannot cry even if i have a worst breakdown i have in months, instead of crying i catch myself laughing somtimes actually.
Im some sytuation i dont feel anything, i remeber when a old guy was touching my ass without contest i didnt react in any way, the only thing i did took his hand away but he took it back to my ass and contiue, i didnt do anything again until he didnt stop himself, much later i felt disgusted with myself cuz i didnt do anything. My point is i often dont feel anything in bad sytuation until much later and that's disgust or anger most of the time.
Often i feel what some people call buterflies but I have sometning i like to call moths cuz i have this feeling thats trying to at the same time eat me Alive and that tries to leave my body at the same time, and well it just feels like moths. I feel it quiet often in bad sytuation, so i either feel that or nothing
Im sorry if this doesnt make much sens but that's the best i can describe it

Hello to anyone reading this! I'm fierce, passionate, mischievous, an enjoyer of banter, possessing a tendency to be a bit rebellious when needed, funny, sometimes sarcastic (in a playful way, not a mean way), understanding, terrible at math, lover of the written and spoken words as well as a student of them, empathetic, compassionate, intensely loving and affectionate, incredibly playful, prone to occasionally teasing (in a fun way, not a mean way!) brave, strong, certainly not perfect, persistent, and resilient. I also love video games, movies, tv shows, spending time outdoors, and great conversations that range from silly, to serious, to deep.
I am looking for some sort of a connection…something with chemistry, whether it’s of the friendship sort, or the sort of chemistry that expands beyond friendship. I’m open to whatever comes my way.
I love to be vulnerable, even though being vulnerable simultaneously scares the shit out of me. But I wouldn't have it any other way. Without that fear, and adrenaline in life...without challenges to overcome, how would we feel, and be truly alive? How would we grow, and forge the sorts of relationships and life that will truly fulfill us? If you like what you've read here, or if any of this is something you relate to, inquire within, because at this point I’m stream-of-consciousness philosophizing. :)

I (20f) and mom (50f) and brother (19m) all live together still but my brother wants nothing to do with us after he "gets his own shit".
For a little backstory, my mom is disabled, brother and I were both "homeschooled" since I was in 4th grade and he, in 2nd, but our mom never taught us anything. Literally nothing. We have about a 5th grade education and that's it. We all lived together with our grandma and grandpa after our dad passed 19 years ago and recently lost our grandmother who was more like a mother to us than our real mom is. The pain and grief has been hell on our family.
I get not wanting to have any contact with our mom because in 2019 or 2020 my brother was looking at the radar on her phone when a text from her "friend" pops up saying something sexual with my brother's name in it. So of course my brother clicks on it and he sees a slew of repulsive, sexual messages about him, our mom, the guy and his daughter (my brother and his daughter are barely 15 or 16 then) and things have never been the same no matter how hard my mom tries to pretend. Some were about me too but nothing close to what they said about him. Reading those messages fucked my brother (and I) up more than our mom realizes and she thinks since she "apologized" and we're mostly not hostile towards her everything is fine.
My brother lost a part himself that day. He's not the same and I'm so scared. He says he just wants to close mom out of his life and too by default. I asked him why me and all he said was "I just want to go my own way and leave this hell behind me" and it's nothing I did but when he gets angry he'll say that the reason he wants not to do with me is because " a b-word".
I make most of the money as I have a full time job and he only has a part-time (which is being generous) that gives him shit hours, maybe 10 a week on a good one. The only reason I'm alive right now is to help him have a roof over his head and food in his belly. I love him so much and the thought of never seeing him again is killing me. I've lost too many people and losing him in any way would be it for me.

Spoilers for Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) and Life (2017)
What are some good movies along these lines? Not apocalyptic movies, that portray the world after civilization has declined (so not The Road or Dawn of the Dead, etc), but movies where things start off "normal" (whatever that is given the setting of the movie, whether past, present or future), but by the end descend into the destruction of civilization, or where the ending events clearly point in that direction (which may or may not be confirmed by any sequels). For a couple of good examples:
Rise of the Planet of the Apes (at the very end, we learn that the virus is spreading throughout the world, and then the introduction of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes confirms that it indeed ended civilization).
Life (the ending very heavily implies that the alien's arrival on Earth marks the beginning of the end of civilization as we know it).
I love the ending of Life, I was afraid the filmmakers would "cheat" and save the world, and instead they took their story to its logical conclusion. So anyway, what are some other movies along these lines? I've always found this prospect to be horrifying, and it's fascinating to watch a movie that depicts the events that lead up to such a disaster.

Hello everyone, I downloaded the game again and would like to enjoy some cars. I don’t have the time to grind for objectives because of work and school, so I’m asking if you have some tips on how to get money fast or some free cars I can enjoy? Nice to see the game still alive

hi everyone. I’m Eliza.
I don’t know how this’ll go. I might give up five hours later and have to delete this post to hide my embarrassment, or keep this promise till I’m dead. But for now, I’m quitting Reddit. Heres why: im 11. I know, way, way, way too young to be using Reddit. I’ve even lied to everyone, telling them I’m 16, just so I can chat. But, even though I’m young in the eyes of everyone else, I don’t feel like it. I discovered devices at the age of 8, and was not really obsessed until I discovered the internet. YouTube, Reddit, those two things alone are about ninety five percent of my total screen time daily. And I feel like ever since the discovery of those two things, I’m not myself. I feel like I’ve grown up too fast, and not enjoyed it with my family. I only have limited time here, unless, of course Elon musk invents immortality, so I want to enjoy it the most I can, I wanna grow up, go to college at the university of Colorado at boulder, become an astronomer, so many things. And I feel like I won’t be able to enjoy imagining all of it if I’m stuck on the internet all the time. Which is why I’m resigning. I’ve made so many friends and done so many things on the internet, but I’m leaving.
So, feel free to send me a chat. one to which I’ll never respond to.

I have a theory that besides the obvious next iteration of GTAO receiving more focus, the fact that old gen has still been receiving content also ties into why our DLC’s have been focused a lot on QOL and smaller sized new content. It makes sense to me that this years winter update will likely be XS & PS5 exclusive as from now up until christmas many people will be migrating to the newer version of the game. I think old gen is being put in a good place with these gameplay experience improvements before new content as a whole becomes exclusive to the newer consoles. I’m curious as to what you guys think about this? Anything you disagree on or would like to add?

A couple years ago, we got new management at our apartment. I called them in the dead of winter when the heat failed, and instead of sending maintenance, she hassled me about signing a new lease agreement.
As the months went on, whenever I called them about a maintenance issue, I would ask how long they thought it might be, and they would say "I don't know. It's not an emergency." It took four months for a new dishwasher, and at one point I fixed my own air conditioner. Everytime I called she said "I don't know, it's not an emergency" and would cut me off and try to hang up if I talked any more.
One time, they didn't charge my card on autopay for rent, and I realized their payment processor had failed. I emailed them not to send me a late fee because it was their fault. They emailed back that they wouldn't, and then charged me anyway.
I called them upset about it, but the woman who answered hadn't read the email and wasn't aware. It was the same one who always told me my problems weren't an emergency. I didn't cuss or yell or attack her, but I was upset. We hung up and I wrote an apology email. The next day I had a note in my door that I have 30 days to get out.
I'm not on a lease, it's month to month, so either party can end it at any time. It's an "intent to vacate", not an eviction. They ended up charging me the fee anyway. When I asked them why it took this much trouble, including kicking me out, she said it's because of how I talk to them. I told her they've been rude ever since they started working there. She said they're not being rude, they're just doing their jobs.
Are they just doing their jobs? AITA?
Edit: heat, not hate oops lol

Forgive me if it is not vary coherent but I'll try. It starts out with a stray cat bringing food or maybe something else to a litter of kitten's maybe In a box or a crack in the wall in an alley with a fence blocking access to the road(this is where my memory gets fuzzy)the next thing I can remember is a man in a taxi or someone else's car with a briefcase, he stepped out of the car in front of the fence and sees the stray cat so he opened ether the trunk of the car or the briefcase and pulls out a baseball bat and opens the gate on the fence. the stray cat trying to protect the litter hissed at him he proceeds to hit the cat over the head with the bat and it was depicted in a vary bloody Seen.(it was vary disturbing for my young mind at the time and it only gets worse from here)the kitten's run out to the dead mother just for the man to do the same thing to the kitten's, and how the artist depicted this was to individually show every kitten getting hit over the head with the bat in a very bloody manner. and that is about all that I can remember I saw the video in the late 2000s early 2010s and it stuck withe me throughout my life and I want to see it again to see if it is as bad as I remember it.

Thousand Green Hells is a digital board game/rpg, hosted on discord. The game is inspired by 'extraction' style games like Escape from Tarkov, set in a cyberpunk future. The game has no player limits, and we're looking for new players. If the game sounds interesting, feel free to join or spectate at the link below!
We welcome both observers and active players.
The year is 2111. Sixty years ago, the Black River Corporate-State was established as a joint stock project between Japan and the Eastern Rus Union as a solution for joint-management of Kuril Islands, in part due to pressure from oligarchs in both nations.
The BRCS brought jobs. They built cities. They legally acquired several nuclear ICBMs which they siloed under those cities.
Three years ago, the BRCS collapsed due to corporate infighting, insolvency, and a corporate war with LinkNET. Two years ago, a war of ownership broke out between the LinkNET Corporation, the ERU, Kurilish Separatists, and the United Corporate States of Australia. Last year, the last major population center was declared fully evacuated.
Today, you are a mercenary. Who you fight for doesn't matter, and may change more than once in a day. More than once in a mission, even. You're here because there are nukes, and because those nukes mean people are willing to dump a hell of a lot of money into this place, and because you want as much of that damn money as you can get. You'll pull guns and gear off near-dead cadavers, buy cybernetics from guys named things like "Butcher", and snipe heavily armored medics to steal their stuff. You'll drink yourself to death and smoke yourself back to life. You'll do enough unregistered combat stims to see god.
You'll strike it rich, spend it all on guns and ammo, and get your brains blown out by a wet-nosed rookie straight off the chopper.
Welcome to курить ад, Exclusion Zone Thousand Green, Jigoku rettō.
