“While there are currently no plans for an Arrow Season 9, let's imagine what it could look like.
The season would pick up a few years after the events of Season 8. Star City has been rebuilt, and crime has decreased significantly thanks to the efforts of Team Arrow. However, a new threat emerges, one that is unlike anything they've ever faced before.
The new villain is a tech genius who has created an army of robots that can infiltrate any system and cause chaos. He plans to take over Star City and hold it for ransom. The team realizes that they can't stop him alone and decides to call in reinforcements.
This leads to a crossover event with the other Arrowverse shows, where they all come together to stop the villain and save Star City. The crossover event would introduce new characters, as well as bring back fan favorites from all of the shows.
After the crossover event, the season would focus on the fallout and the team's attempts to rebuild. They must deal with the aftermath of the battle and the emotional toll it has taken on them.
Meanwhile, Oliver Queen, who sacrificed his life in the battle against the Anti-Monitor, is revealed to be alive and has been resurrected by the Lazarus Pit. However, they soon realize that Oliver is not his usual self. He seems distant and withdrawn, and he refuses to talk about what happened to him while he was away. Felicity becomes increasingly worried about him and decides to investigate.
Her investigation leads her to a mysterious figure who claims to have information about Oliver's past. She tracks down this person, only to find that it is someone she never expected - Oliver's estranged father, Robert Queen.
Robert reveals that he faked his death years ago and has been living in hiding ever since. He explains that he did it to protect Oliver from the dangerous world of the Queen family business.
As Felicity and Oliver try to process this shocking revelation, they are attacked by a group of mercenaries who are after Robert. The team must band together to protect Robert and unravel the mystery of why he has resurfaced now.
In the end, the team discovers that Robert's return is part of a larger plot by an old enemy of the Queen family, and they must work together to stop him before he can cause any more harm. Along the way, Oliver learns to confront his past and reconcile with his father, while the team is reminded of the importance of family and loyalty.”
Wow I didn’t expect that lol I was just bored and I want to share the answer with you guys.

Where Arin is asked "what are 3 adjectives that describe yourself", he immediately replies "Plump, sweet, and begging for cream."

Nearing the end of my sophomore year in high school. Meaning we only have 1 year (junior) to get our grades ready for college application and I’m worried for my friend.
He doesn’t really know what he wants to do, which is perfectly fine it’s hard to know what you wanna do with your life at 16 but he says that he wants to go with me to college so that we can continue to have fun. But he doesn’t take school seriously and his grades aren’t really good, on the other hand mine are real good.
Im trying to go to UGA to study psychology and become a therapist and he says he wants to go with me but realistically his chances of getting in are super low with his grades. But I want to help him.
This friend has saved me from suicide twice just by being my friend not really talking me away from suicide, but by being there. So I made I promise that I want to see him succeed because he has the skills and qualities too but he just doesn’t use them. I want nothing more in this life that I have except to see him succeed which is why I’m so worried for him. I’ve had a few people say it’s not my problem that he isn’t paying attention in school and I should focus on myself, but I won’t do that.
So I don’t know how I should go about helping him…
My plan right now is to have a heart to heart talk to see if he can find his passion and if he does than we know where to go and how to work for it, but if he doesn’t I think I need to have a talk about getting his grades up so that he can go with me? But he’s my best friend it’s gonna be hard to say that. So I want to talk to him so he can see my point of view as to why it is important to work on his grades and I am willing to work with him, tutor him, help him however I can.
So I just want some tips for how to go about trying to help him reach his dreams?
(I’m sorry if this sounds self centered but with all he’s done for me I just don’t think I could handle seeing him fail and miss on his dreams)

Hi,
For the basic info, I live in the UK. Height 5'10, weight around 50 kgs last I checked, race: white/latino, duration of this 11 years but getting progressively worse over time. Reposting this because I didn't get any replies from docs last time and hoping someone could help me shed light on this issue.
Existing medical issues: Dust mite allergies, depression, anxiety, ADHD, infertility.
Medication: Antihistamine nose spray for allergies, works okay but could be better.
Okay so onto the issue, ever since I've turned 18 I've been tired all the time. It used to come and go then but with the years it's gotten worse to the point where now I'm too tired to even get basic tasks done, have slow reactions, and it takes me hours to get out of bed. I just lay there falling back asleep because I can't bring myself to get up. I wake up more exhausted then when I went to sleep. My entire body feels heavy like lead. If an alarm goes off before I'm ready to get up in my half asleep daze I will keep pressing snooze. I've pressed snooze for FOUR HOURS before, every fifteen minutes. If I have to get up early for classes, forget it. I won't be able to. I've almost gotten expelled from college for missing all my morning classes even though I knew I had to go.
Last night I slept for FOURTEEN HOURS from 2 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. I woke up at 9 a.m., so damn tired I went right back to sleep then kept waking up and falling back asleep every two hours. It's 11 pm now. I have been tired as hell ever since like 6 p.m to the point I could go back to bed and probably sleep again.
I have CONSTANT brain fog to the point that some of my ADHD symptoms are probably part of this issue rather than even having ADHD. I have muscle weakness to where if I'm sitting up for a long time my entire body starts vibrating. My hands have a slight tremble. If I bend down for a while my legs start shaking and even an hour later my legs are still shaky, then I get sore the next day. I go to the gym sometimes in hopes to get stronger but I can't even lift my own body weight while I see other newcomers lifting the same or more while I've been at it for a while. I get out of breath when doing cardio much faster than others and start seeing black dots, feeling faint to the point I have to sit down or I'll pass out. Same thing happens if I get injured. My long term memory is fine, short term horrible.
I can't gain weight no matter how much I eat, have been like this my entire life when I ate 4 meals a day and mcdonalds multiple times a week. I try to be health concsious nowadays with what I eat but it does nothing. I have zero appetite, progressively worse for the past 3 years and eating is an exhausting chore. I don't enjoy food at all. I am aging too fast, started getting grey hair at 23 and fine lines at 24. Both my parents started going grey in their mid 30's-early 40's. None of them even have wrinkly skin now despite being in their 50's-70's. My grandparents are youthful looking too.
I have circadian rhythm issues where even when I try to fix my sleeping schedule it keeps shifting to an 8 a.m-4 p.m. schedule. I have considered this to be the issue but I sleep better and deeper when it's during the day. When I've fixed my sleeping schedule to sleep at night I've been even more tired during the day. I constantly dream at night, more than most and I don't think I even go into other sleep cycles aside REM. I dream so much that I feel I've slept for much longer than I actually have. When I have 15-20 min naps I start dreaming, that's not supposed to be possible. Same when I sleep for any other time.
Tests I have done: STD test (negative), sleep apnea/breathing study (all came back fine), full blood test(came back iron and vitamin D deficient. I fixed that, pushed them up to normal and did another blood test, still felt constantly tired and it changed nothing), liver and kidney function(liver fine, have phosphate a bit higher than it should be and a few things that could indicate kidney problems), hormone test (all fine), muscle function test or something similar I don't know the name (all fine), COVID screening (negative), heart exam and ECG (fine), blood pressure (low/normal), ENT exam for deviated septum (don't have one). When asked about my inability to gain weight doctors just said I have a fast metabolism. Thyroid screening (normal), lyme disease(negative), HIV (negative).
Irregularities worth mentinoing are that in blood tests I always come back having a nonexistent basophil count. It's bolded and 0.00 but nobody has ever talked to me about it. Despite allergy meds I usually wake up with one nostril blocked. I wake up once every two hours but idk why when I don't have sleep apnea. I have horrific dark circles under my eyes that never go away no matter how much I sleep. When left to my own devices I sleep 10-12 hours a night. I have a lower body temp than most (around 35 C). Get ill less often than most adults. I am infertile and have almost nonexistent libido. Have to pee more than most people and get up at least once a night to pee. Have pelvic muscle issues.
I know this is a horribly long post but I would really appreciate it if someone could help me because I am at the end of my rope. I waste so much time sleeping and it does nothing. I can't do ANYTHING, this tiredness is ruining my life. I have no energy or motivation and I'm going to get expelled from uni if I don't go to class. I've told endless doctors about this, had endless tests done and nobody knows what the issue is. I used to have so much energy as a teenager, I got bored and antsy if I stayed inside even for a day and loved being busy. Now I simply don't have the energy to do anything two days in a row. I'm unemployed because I don't have the energy to work. I would do anything to get that back.

Hello! I have been an enjoyer of Gragas for many years now and was hyped to see the big man be played by T1, followed by absolutely everyone else. Now I'm not trying to say that pro players such as Faker or Nisqy are ineffective with the champion, because they certainly have pulled their weight and more in their Gragas games, but as someone who knows the champion in an out, I see so many missed opportunities that could have resulted in kills or more damage if they had some basic champion knowledge. That, along with the tide of new Gragas players invading my soloq games, I have borne witness to some of the most horrendous combos of all time. This made me realize, that some people who have picked Gragas up from proplay, will probably never have proper understanding of how to most efficiently use his abilities.
1) PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD cast Q during E, even when flashing. I have seen so many E flashes not result in a kill due to the enemy flashing out of Q because it was cast too late. Your ganks and all ins will become much more effective once it becomes muscle memory to EQ and then flash.
0 counterplay unavoidable damage combo
2) Your W cast time and ultimate CC duration are roughly the same. Use the time you buy with R to chug a cold one
0 counterplay unavoidable damage combo yet again. Hmm...
3) All in BOMBA combo. I have not seen a single professional player do this. The normal W -> E -> Flash -> Q1 -> R -> Auto -> Q2 combo I see people do works fine in alot of situations, but the second the enemy has even a little bit of tenacity or spams flash fast enough can avoid a big chunk of the damage or dodge the knockback. That is why most pros engage with just E -> Flash -> R. It is effective if all you need is CC, but you're missing half of your damage kit. You can just E and R the enemy adc and do 30% of their health, but if you spent 5 minutes in practice tool hitting a dummy, you instead could consistently do their entire healthbar from half a screen away with an unavoidable, 0 counterplay, CC and damage combo.
I'm sensing a pattern here
One of the many things that makes this champion so powerful is the fact that when played correctly, there is nothing you can do to avoid his damage. If Gragas lands E, with flash or not, you ARE taking the full damage and CC of his combo. Even if you live the initial burst, you're sitting in the middle of his team on low HP, far from any help. If pros played took the time to learn one of the best champions in the game, the potential would be nuts. I selected these example clips from the first Gragas games in my match histories, but these are things every Gragas player should know and use every game.
The key to the oneshot combo is the fact that you can cast R, after which you mash Q at your feet to throw the barrel and blow it up before the ult lands. You can do both of these things while in E animation and buffer them with flash. If not going for a oneshot, just angle your R to knock the target where you want it to fly.

So I’ve been dating this guy for 4 months, we’re both 30 yrs old. So my boyfriend and his father have a business and they hired this girl let’s call her Sara as their media manager to upload their stuff as advertisement. Well Sara is 22, and was working with them for about two years (started at age 20) and recently was let go in Dec 2022, But wasn’t anything personal. Every Sunday we go to his parents to have dinner. His family is very nice and welcoming. Well Sara came back to visit and my bf’s father invited her to family dinner like he used to when she worked for them. When my boyfriend told me, my reaction was like ohh thats weird but that’s fine. Well when I met her I felt confusedly annoyed because she made me feel like the guest and she was the family ya know? I usually sit next to my boyfriend on Sundays but she sat next to him because “that’s where she always sat” and she made comments like “yeah I always stay here (at the parents house) and if anything happens Derek (my bf) is always there when I need him.” When she left, his dad walked her out and waved my bf down to tell her bye. I’m super frustrated and upset about the behavior of this girl. My boyfriend chopped it up to jealousy but I’m not a jealous person and I’m happy with us but I have physical reaction internally because of this girl and it’s confusing because I feel like the family is making me feel obligated to be nice to her because they know her. Omg y’all help me.

Needadvice

I've Googled a lot and have come up empty handed, but I could be asking the wrong questions. Here's my scenario:

1. I am running an online TTRPG campaign. We use Discord for voice, instead of the Roll20 VTT native function. (Obviously.) I like to create a lot of atmospheric elements for my campaigns, so a soundtrack is a must. How to pipe this into my players headsets is where I'm struggling.
2. Up until now, I have used the Roll20 soundtrack function to play music for the players. But it is a horrible, challenging utility that requires you hand-craft each MP3 and upload it. I would love to find a solution that doesn't require me to spend such a long time managing all the files.
3. I was hoping to use Spotify to "broadcast" music in the channel, but all the results for searches suggest a) it will mute music whenever anyone talks, which is not a workable solution, and b) "closed" Spotify groups (where you can play a shared playlist to a small group) will only work if everyone is a Spotify subscriber (and that isn't an acceptable ask for my players).

So I'll repeat my question: How can I get music into a Discord channel, in the background, without being overridden by voice? Prefer a solution that uses Spotify as the music source, but am open to any suggestions.

Wait, oh yes wait a minute mister postman Wait, wait mister postman Mister postman look and see You got a letter in your bag for me I been waiting such a long time Since I heard from that man of mine
There must be some word today From my man so far away Please mister postman look and see If there's a letter, a letter for me I been standing here waiting mister postman So patiently For just a card or just a letter Saying he's returning home to me
So many days you passed me by See the tear standing in my eye You didn't stop to make me feel better By leaving me a card or a letter
You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute You gotta check it and see, one more time for me Deliver the letter, the sooner the better
Important, CHAT DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY. I can't see and reply to chat requests, can't fix it. Text to letter section. How to do that? Open my profile > More options > Send message. Not chat but message.
I'm a single female from Ukraine (can meet with you in another country, more safe for you). I search for a single childless man older than 35 (older- better) for a serious relationship, first without physical aspects. Your age and appearance are not important. I wish you are self-employed, your own master and bos or digital nomad but that is not a strict demand.
Sometimes men expect these aspects very fast and leave fast if not get it soon. In my opinion, this means the first interest was not in the relationship itself but in physical aspects. That's why I want to find a relationship first without it. So I can be sure that a man stays near me because he really likes me, not for physical satisfaction itself. That means not only one sphere of relationship. People divide into 2 groups. Those who give more than take and opposite. Wishing to gain satisfaction fast leads to frustration and disappointment.
I have got few marriage offers in the past, but felt that they were not serious because the men were too young, not well settled and made these offers trying to gain something. Being not a young girl, I still wait for a right person—a man who will be happy staying with me and will do everything for me. Wished person is his own boss and master thought being employee with a plan to become self boss one day is fine too.
If things work, I can relocate to you or to invite you to live in Ukraine after the war ends. If you are able to set up app called telegram for chat and meet in real life within one month, then please text me. I prefer well written letter that was sent in inbox letters, not in chat requests and chat itself.
Now more detaily about me. Never been married, no kids (will not have in the nearest time but not a childfree), no pets (had shepherd, after his death decided not to have new). Was raised in small village at farmer's house (the nature was great but didn't like the hard working lifestyle) and prefer city life. I don't smoke, don't drink alcohol . You will not have to suffer dealing with numerous people around me because I don't have friends (people disappear when interests and lifestyles become different) and my family is very small. I don't visit bars, clubs or parties and not addicted to social networks. As an introvert, I can't open to someone fast because have been cheated by those whom trusted. Life teaches, only real actions show the true person's intentions, not just his words.
About two negative moments. The first is my passivity. I was raised in a culture where it was considered vulgar if a woman is too active in the path of creating a relationship. Yes, it is obvious that active women will get success sooner than passive one but I can't change myself and prefer the one who will take initiative.
The second negative moment is that being introverted, I totally dislike situation when I have to contact with unknown people, especially with men, especially in field of relationship. That sounds not logical because how can someone know anyone if he/she doesn't like starting this contact? There is only one solution for me. I can start contact only if I have already got very detailed information about person so this makes illusion that he is already not a stranger. Most of men send short message, expecting that I will ask many questions trying to find out his personality. The truth is that I will not do it. Yes, you can call me bad for that, but I will reply only to well written detailed letter from someone who will not make me to ask many questions but will write proper letter with basic information by himself. Man's appearance means nothing for me, but what he says and what is more important, what he does - that's important.
That were negative moments. Obviously, there are much more of them but I'll let you discover size of all iceberg by yourself. Thanks for reading.
P.S. Please, be patient and don't expect fast replies, sometimes it is not easy to do due to many reasons. That one who puts efforts in his first letter will get reply faster.
P.S.S. Chat doesn't work correctly and doesn't show messages and requests there. Text only in letters section.

The reason for asking this question is that most posts I've seen on here don't recommend working for Securitas as a security guard. That being said, I couldn't find anywhere else appropriate to post this, so I'm posting it here.
I've been offered a Customer Monitoring Specialist position, which I understand involves responding to alarms for customers and calling the appropriate authority, whether it be the police, the fire department, etc. Essentially, it sounds like a job as a 911 dispatcher, where you have calls coming in and are also making phone calls. It sounds like I am going to encounter some stressful situations such as people calling in because someone is having a heart attack. That sort of deal.
I should mention that I have been unemployed for basically 6 months (not counting a warehouse job I quit after working for just 4 weeks). I'm getting desperate for full-time employment so I can start saving, even though I'm being supported financially by family right now. The position is $16/hr, which is just above minimum wage for Washington State where I live and this wage is non-negotiable.
Should I accept this job or turn it down? How bored am I going to be in this role? How stressed will I be? Are there lots of expectations from management to do a perfect job?
Thanks for answering.

I can explain them well and it's really starting to make me scared/worried/confused. It's like...I'm sitting still, and all of a sudden my head will jolt..like an electric shock feeling but only in my head. It makes my head jerk a tiny amount and then after I get an odd headache and then (sometimes) a couple more minor ones. Now I feel like one side of my head is very full and heavy, sort of achy but not painful. ***I've been trying to search it but "head jolts" how I'm explaining them are only coming up as a symptom of being off SSRIs or other meds, which I've never been on. What causes them without medication withdrawal?
Prior to this I've also had these "elevator starting" feelings where I'm completely stationary in a secure chair and I'll suddenly feel like the ground opens up and I get the urge to catch myself. These are also mixed in with very scarry presyncopes where I suddenly get these dark patches coming in from my peripherals and then my heart rate spikes and I feel like I'm going to pass out but never do, maybe like 3/4 of the time.
My blood pressure is a little low but nor awful, and thats only explaining some things...not all.
My primary care is VERY hard to get into
34f, 160lbs, 5'5 non drinker non smoker I take symbicort ventolin omeprazole and serc for vertigo (these are NOT my vertigo sensations and that's been well controlled)

This is a dream I had a few years ago that I always wanted into a short story. Here is ChatGPT’s attempt at it.
The cold, sterile room spun around me as I slowly opened my eyes. My head pounded, and a sense of disorientation consumed me. I was lying on a hospital bed, the steady beep of a heart monitor acting as an eerie metronome. A sudden realization struck me—I didn't know who I was.
Panicking, I tried to piece together any fragments of memory, but found only a gaping void. The hospital seemed to be more than just a place for healing; the bars on the windows and the guards outside my room made it feel like a prison. It wasn't long before a stern-faced doctor appeared to explain my predicament.
"You were part of a cryosleep amnesia detention process," he said, his tone clinical and detached. "You were a political dissident, and the government chose this method to separate you from your co-conspirators and neutralize your influence."
As I absorbed the words, I struggled to imagine myself as a political activist. But with no memories of my own, who was I to argue? After a brief, cold discharge process, I was unceremoniously thrown out onto the street. The world outside was unfamiliar, the buildings taller and the technology more advanced than anything I could vaguely recall. My confusion intensified; I didn't even know what year it was.
Barely able to process my new reality, I was approached by a stranger with a knowing glint in their eye. "We've been waiting for you," they said in a hushed voice. "I'm part of an underground resistance, and we're going to help you."
Desperate for answers and feeling an inexplicable trust, I followed them through a maze of alleyways until we reached a hidden safe house.
In the safe house, a sense of urgency hung in the air as people scurried around, preparing for the upcoming mandatory political rally. I couldn't help but feel out of place, still grasping at fragments of a life that no longer belonged to me.
As we prepared, I overheard someone mention "Trump." Baffled, I asked, "What year is it? Are we talking about the Trump from 2016?"
A nearby resistance member chuckled, shaking their head. "No, this is the year 2235. The 'Trump' they worship now is a cybernetic clone of the original. The military has been replaced by robots programmed to enforce loyalty to him."
My mind reeled as I tried to process this information. It was disconcerting to see how the world had changed and how the past I knew had been twisted into something unrecognizable. Someone tossed me a shiny MAGA shirt, and I hesitantly put it on, knowing that it was crucial to blend in with the crowd.
As we left the safe house and joined the throngs of people heading to the rally, I felt a knot tighten in my stomach. The weight of my forgotten past and the grim future that lay before us threatened to overwhelm me.
The rally was a spectacle unlike anything I'd ever seen, even in the vague memories that flickered at the edges of my consciousness. Millions of people had gathered before an enormous stage, their attention riveted on a gigantic hologram of Trump. The energy in the crowd was palpable, a mix of fervor and fear.
But suddenly, the atmosphere shifted. A war erupted in the sky above us, with ships and small fighters weaving and dodging as they exchanged fire. Explosions illuminated the heavens, and people began to scatter in terror.
Robotic soldiers descended from a drop ship, landing on the field among the panicked crowd. They opened fire indiscriminately, and chaos reigned as people tried to flee the carnage.
Just as it seemed all hope was lost, a gigantic ship landed in the field about two hundred yards away. The drop bay opened, and humans in mechanized armor began to disembark. They spread out in all directions, with one last figure emerging to speak through a loudspeaker. "Come with us if you want to live!" they urged, and we all began to run towards the drop ship.
As I drew closer to the ship, I couldn't help but feel a strange mixture of hope and desperation. But in an instant, that hope was snuffed out. A massive laser or fireball, seemingly originating from outer space, struck the ship with devastating force. The explosion that followed obliterated the ship and the soldiers, and I was thrown to the ground by the shockwave.
Dazed and disoriented, I realized the world I had awoken to was far more dangerous and unpredictable than I could have ever imagined.

My fiancé has a ‘98 Nissan Frontier that may have finally reached the end of its journey. It broke down on the side of the road two weeks ago, and we haven’t got any repair quotes yet because the car is worth a few hundred bucks, tops. He thinks there’s an axel issue but we’re not sure.
While we’re aware it’s time to say goodbye when the cost to repair a vehicle exceeds its value, we’re in a tough situation where he needs a truck in order to do perform his job (he’s in construction). Since I work remotely, I’ve been letting him use my car. But with his line of work, we can already see that this is not a sustainable option. For example, he often needs to haul large, heavy materials that don’t fit in my small sedan.
We’ll be moving out-of-state in July, at which point he’ll be starting a new career in music production. In other words, no truck necessary. Should he leave his job sooner than planned? Should we take the hit and get it repaired? What are our options? With our wedding coming up in a few weeks, every penny matters more than ever, so we’d love some advice on how to go about this dilemma. Thanks!

Hey everyone,
I promise you this isn't an advertisement, read please <3
I wanted to share my story with you all and introduce you to Chamberly, an app that I've poured my heart and soul into. As someone who's struggled with mental health and finding a safe space to express my emotions, I felt compelled to create a platform where people could come together, vent, and find support in each other.
Growing up, I always felt like I had to keep my emotions bottled up. I was afraid to share my true feelings with friends and family, worried that they might judge me or not understand :/. I wanted a safe, anonymous space where I could share my thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment or backlash. Tbh, after creating this thing, it was kind off crazy that I knew for a fact no one can find out who I am and I have the ability to seriously let it all out. I want all of you beautiful people to feel the same thing that I did.
This thing that I built is a labor of love, born out of my own experiences and a deep desire to help others. It's a place where you can find comfort, solace, and a listening ear when you need it most. <333
I am not trying to profit from this, the in-app purchase is 1$/month for few not so needed features. I am losing a lot of money on this but I want to help people too :')) Sorry <3333
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope to see you all in the Chamberly community soon.
It's only on the apple app store right now, takes time to build this :'(. Link to the app store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1638094400

I've been reading Aquinas's writings where he delves in-depth and objects to arguments that propose the world is eternity. This was strikingly new to me. The notion of the world as not-eternal was as far as I know more well known in mainstream thought due Aristotle and Aquinas with their First Cause Argument. Not to mention, the development of cosmological arguments in modern times. In any way, were there any other famous philosophers that hold on to this pretty radical belief. Can anyone also suggest some literature to read on? Something akin to a whole text like Aristotle's which discusses in-depth about the eternity of the world. It'd be quite exotic to stumble upon a cosmological argument that argues FOR the eternity of the world and not against.

Important, CHAT DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY. I can't see and reply to chat requests, can't fix it. Text to letter section. How to do that? Open my profile > More options > Send message. Not chat but message.
I'm a single female from Ukraine (can meet with you in another country, more safe for you). I search for a single childless man older than 35 (older- better) for a serious relationship, first without physical aspects. Your age and appearance are not important. I wish you are self-employed, your own master and bos or digital nomad but that is not a strict demand.
Sometimes men expect these aspects very fast and leave fast if not get it soon. In my opinion, this means the first interest was not in the relationship itself but in physical aspects. That's why I want to find a relationship first without it. So I can be sure that a man stays near me because he really likes me, not for physical satisfaction itself. That means not only one sphere of relationship. People divide into 2 groups. Those who give more than take and opposite. Wishing to gain satisfaction fast leads to frustration and disappointment.
I have got few marriage offers in the past, but felt that they were not serious because the men were too young, not well settled and made these offers trying to gain something. Being not a young girl, I still wait for a right person—a man who will be happy staying with me and will do everything for me. Wished person is his own boss and master thought being employee with a plan to become self boss one day is fine too.
If things work, I can relocate to you or to invite you to live in Ukraine after the war ends. If you are able to set up app called telegram for chat and meet in real life within one month, then please text me. I prefer well written letter that was sent in inbox letters, not in chat requests and chat itself.
Now more detaily about me. Never been married, no kids (will not have in the nearest time but not a childfree), no pets (had shepherd, after his death decided not to have new). Was raised in small village at farmer's house (the nature was great but didn't like the hard working lifestyle) and prefer city life. I don't smoke, don't drink alcohol . You will not have to suffer dealing with numerous people around me because I don't have friends (people disappear when interests and lifestyles become different) and my family is very small. I don't visit bars, clubs or parties and not addicted to social networks. As an introvert, I can't open to someone fast because have been cheated by those whom trusted. Life teaches, only real actions show the true person's intentions, not just his words.
About two negative moments. The first is my passivity. I was raised in a culture where it was considered vulgar if a woman is too active in the path of creating a relationship. Yes, it is obvious that active women will get success sooner than passive one but I can't change myself and prefer the one who will take initiative.
The second negative moment is that being introverted, I totally dislike situation when I have to contact with unknown people, especially with men, especially in field of relationship. That sounds not logical because how can someone know anyone if he/she doesn't like starting this contact? There is only one solution for me. I can start contact only if I have already got very detailed information about person so this makes illusion that he is already not a stranger. Most of men send short message, expecting that I will ask many questions trying to find out his personality. The truth is that I will not do it. Yes, you can call me bad for that, but I will reply only to well written detailed letter from someone who will not make me to ask many questions but will write proper letter with basic information by himself. Man's appearance means nothing for me, but what he says and what is more important, what he does - that's important.
That were negative moments. Obviously, there are much more of them but I'll let you discover size of all iceberg by yourself. Thanks for reading.
P.S. Please, be patient and don't expect fast replies, sometimes it is not easy to do due to many reasons. That one who puts efforts in his first letter will get reply faster.
P.S.S. Chat doesn't work correctly and doesn't show messages and requests there. Text only in letters section.

From the Gospel according to John Jn 11, 45-56
Many of the Jews who had come to Mary and seen what Jesus had done began to believe in him. But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. So the chief priests and the Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said, "What are we going to do? This man is performing many signs. If we leave him alone, all will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our land and our nation." But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing, nor do you consider that it is better for you that one man should die instead of the people, so that the whole nation may not perish." He did not say this on his own, but since he was high priest for that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation, and not only for the nation, but also to gather into one the dispersed children of God. So from that day on they planned to kill him.
So Jesus no longer walked about in public among the Jews, but he left for the region near the desert, to a town called Ephraim, and there he remained with his disciples.
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before Passover to purify themselves. They looked for Jesus and said to one another as they were in the temple area, "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?"

WORDS OF THE HOLY FATHER

It was a process, a process that began with minor restlessness during John the Baptist’s days and finished here with the doctors of the law and the high priests. A process that continually got stronger (…) The way that the doctors of the law proceed is precisely a model of how temptation works in us, because it was truly the devil who was behind this, who wanted to destroy Jesus, and temptation in us truly works like this: it begins with something small, a desire, an idea, it grows, it infects others and in the end it justifies itself. These are the three steps of the temptation of the devil in us and the three steps of the temptation that the devil worked in the person of the doctor of the law. (…) We should have the custom of identifying this process within us. That process that changes our hearts from good to bad, that leads us to a downward slope. (…) May the Holy Spirit enlighten us in this interior awareness. (Santa Marta, 4 April 2020)
