2023.05.28 08:13 throwawayy918273281 My cousin (26M) won’t cooperate with insurance and my mom is at risk of being sued.
This is a throwaway account because I want to stay anonymous. A month ago, I (17F) got into a car accident with my (26M) and (20F) cousins. I was the one driving with only a permit. My mom let us use her car because she thought my cousin was going to be the one driving. After 30 minutes of driving, I wasn’t feeling confident in driving so I asked my cousin (M) to take over the wheel. He started getting mad at me and yelling that he didn’t want to get out of the car in the middle of a dark road. I stopped 3 times and begged him to take over the wheel but he insisted that I drive instead. My other cousin couldn’t drive because she didn’t have her license on her. A few minutes later, I failed to stop at the stop sign and we were hit from the side. My moms car was totaled. Fast forward to today, the other party has lawyers and can potentially sue because my cousin (M) isn’t cooperating. Insurance has been trying to get ahold of him for a month so he could send his medical papers. I texted him two days ago and he still hasn’t replied. Right now, he’s on vacation in Japan. I called his dad and asked him to reach out but he also didn’t answer any of his calls. I see him posting on his Instagram story, so I decide to message him on Instagram. He later hides his stories from me and is ignoring me. I don’t know what to do, and I’m scared because it all falls on my mom.

2023.05.28 08:11 AnonymousChocoholic Fear of posting in this group because I am "too functioning"
E.g: I'm noticing that very high number of posts here are people that live very isolated lives, this makes me feel like I am not allowed to post issues related to my social life because "at least you have a social life!". This applies to a few other areas as well,that I might be too functional to be here which sucks because I really need a place where I can post my fears with people that share the same disorder ... Of course there are other mental health subs but I have noticed a very high number of suicide posts in many and I struggle with having to see so many of them

2023.05.28 08:11 throwaway1996267 I (25F) found out my fiance (31M) cheated with someone I work with (24F) who will not stop harassing me.
(TA to protect privacy rn due to harassment) I was with my fiance for over two years with plans set to get married late next year. Things had been rough lately, but I am at university, he just started a new high-stress job, so I was assured this was normal regarding the circumstances we were under. However, we fought while on a trip. Once we returned he told me I couldn't stay the night and he needed space so I respected that and left.
After 6 days of silence, I reached out to ask for a few of my things. When I came over he wouldn't look at me and told me things were over. It threw me off — I had met with 3 separate therapists to discuss potential relationship counseling during the 6 days, done self-evaluation, and worked to come back to him with a solution for us to move forward. We never tried couples counseling either and the things he said caused this were things he acknowledged he had never told me he was upset by. It just was suddenly done. After digging, I questioned him about how I had heard from others in my department that my research partner had bragged about sleeping with him the night I left when he told me he needed space. He confirmed they did, and I was devastated.
After this he texted them asking something along the lines of how I would have found out or asked if they were talking to others — I don't know, that's what he told me but I did not see the message. After he did this without my knowledge, my phone blew up with phone calls from the person he cheated on me with. They eventually texted several voice memos accusing me of lying, then confessing to sleeping with my fiance because I deserved it, and claiming they were coming after me for this. While this occurred I did make my fiance listen to the memos, in hopes he may realize what he had done. He then started texting them to leave me alone, but they continued. While they were ripping into me, he kept telling me that he said I was a good person and we were just not compatible anymore, not that I was anything they were claiming. I don't know what to believe about that. He did seem shocked by their behavior although that doesn't matter now. I never responded to the person harassing me, and do not plan to — I do not need the last word in a conversation I never wanted to be dragged into.
I did leave him that night. I'm still so heartbroken over it all and I'm still struggling with the desire to fix everything and go back. This is the greatest pain I’ve ever experienced and I’ve lost my best friend. On the other hand, the person he cheated on me with will not leave me alone. I had to meet with my research advisor who took my side on everything after telling the full story starting with the fight and showing her the messages. I’m trying to keep this professional IRL and not talk beyond select friends who are not in our department and my advisor. This person though is absolutely slashing my reputation, and I am trying to stay above by ignoring but it's adding to the pain. I was advised to file for a protection order as some of the messages have become threatening.
I feel so alone in this...my friends sympathize but no one understands what I am going through. It’s overwhelming to lose my best friend and his family I loved so much. It makes it worse to have that person harassing me and know that everyone knows that my fiancé cheated with them. Although my advisor assured me I am not in the wrong and people can see through it, it still is so embarrassing. I don't know what to do with all of this or how to start recovering. Where do I even start in handling her, him, and my well-being?

2023.05.28 08:10 DCGMechanics Dreams can be really Crazy
Last night i saw a crazy dream, so i saw that i bought an iPhone, don't remember the model but it looked like iPhone 6 but with iphone 13-14 like display and the experience was really bad, heating like hell and the software experience was also bad. It came out with iOS 22 out of the box and that time ios 25 was the lastest and couldn't vet it to be updated to latest version, even not able to signup cause of so busy schedule. Also Amitabh bachchan was kidnapped by Aliens. We could hear their conversation via Radio signals but aliens were speaking gibberish so only able to understand Amit ji's voice. Aliens were also updating their updates on human-alien stuffs on reddit like whatever they got from our side and on reddit it was written in English by them. Like we teleported a chocolate ice-cream sunday, so the image was on reddit uploaded by them and written in caption "looks guys, what humans sent us" also the the update about amitabh sir that he is with them now. Then me and one of my insta friend went to a mall for some superheroes tshirt cause he liked my tshirts so much. There at the personal belongings submission table, there were two English guys, one was a girl and one i don't remember. After that i remember one of my other friend who don't know how he reached there and don't even remember who he was started racist comment on that girl which made me feel really bad. I told him that this is really bad dude, you should not say something like this, then me and my insta friend went inside mall and then i don't remember.
Man, what a crazy dream. I hope amit sir is safe at home, not abducted by Aliens.
Have a Great Sunday guys!!
Thanks!!

2023.05.28 08:10 Peachquartz02 new user flairs for survivors?
j4j cult survivor here who is apart of judaism! i’m a survivor who plans to convert and i love interacting with the sub but i hate disclosing my past every time i comment as it’s mentally exhausting and it feels burdensome as i’m not yet apart of the community. a non jew giving their input basically. i was wondering if it’s possible that a couple of new user flairs could be made as i feel it would be beneficial for not only me but for those who are survivors. “survivor of j4j” and “survivor of j4j in plans to convert” is what i have come up with. i do know the topic of that delusional group is very sensitive so i just hate having to disclose it every time. i certainly don’t want my past to be apart of me forever but i’m in an odd place right now in my life so sadly conversion is not my main priority as much as i wish it was. i hope none of this comes across as entitlement as that is certainly not my intention. just want to be considerate of those who relate to my story whilst remaining respectful of the jewish community. :’) i assume the mod team would have to make this possible so this post is targeted for the team to see.

2023.05.28 08:09 Gaspacho_ben Met her and went abroad
Tldr: Met a girl before leaving to the other side of the globe. Things were fantastic now they're not. Any advice how to handle the situation?
I (M25) met a girl (F22) 5 days before leaving for a semester abroad on the other side of the earth. During the 5 days we hit it off big time.
Both of us started to develop feelings for eachother but then reality kicks back in and I have to leave for 4,5 month.
We agree to call and text and end up calling eachother almost every second day. Everything is "fine". We really really enjoy talking to each other and both of us talk a lot about how good of a fit we are and how great things between us are despite not knowing each other for that long. She mentions that A LOT. So I'm pretty sure she was 120% into me.
Fast forward to 2,5 month later.
After 2,5 month her feelings start rolling back despite the regular contact. She starts questioning the whole thing, which hurt me a lot because I was still happy within the not so ideal situation.
2 more weeks go by and she becomes insecure. She starts going on and on about how it doesn't feel right anymore and how she loses feelings for me. After a while I decide to cut the contact, as hearing that becomes unbearable. I tell her that we will see how things are between us after I come back.
She agrees and says she thinks it's a good idea since she wasn't feeling comfortable in the situation anymore. She tells me that she is very eager to see me again when I come back and give us a chance.
Since then, we texted once or twice. She wants to keep the contact to a minimum in order "to not spoil things".
My question here is: was somebody here already in a similar situation? How did it end? Are there success stories that came out of similar situations? What should I expect upon meeting her again?
I'm really trying to stay optimistic about the situation but it's very hard.

2023.05.28 08:06 IWishIWasBatman123 IJW: Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (1990)
I'm a huge fan of the original TCM movie, and while the tone of the second one is out of place, I see its' worth as horror film with heavy overtones of dark comedy.
The third movie though... what the hell is that? New Line Cinema apparently intended the tone of the movie to be closer to that of the original, and while the movie is darker and scarier than its immediate predecessor, there's still a good amount of bizarre humor that feels misplaced (the golden fucking chainsaw, watching Leatherface play that alphabet game, the one-liners throughout the Tex/Benny face, the film's closing line, etc.). TCM II, for its faults, had the guts to fully embrace the comedic side. III, by contrast, feels like an odd mismash of genuine scares with camp humor.
That could be somewhat forgiven if not for the various plot holes that misalign with the events of the first and second film. For example, in I and II, the Sawyer father is clearly a separate character from the Sawyer grandfather. In III, the father and the grandfather are portrayed as the same person. The text crawl at the start of III claims that the Sawyer family faced legal consequences and, IIRC, even death for the actions of the first movie... yet, at the very least, the father and grandfather are alive and well in II.
I also have a hard time with some of the general story elements at play here. Ryan, Melissa, and even the local Texas cops all seem surprised by the Sawyer killings. Don't you think that, at the very least, the events of the first movie would have made public record? Sally survived in the first movie and the events of the first movie lay the groundwork for the second movie. Why is everybody suddenly clueless in the third movie?
It's a smaller complaint, but how damn big is the Sawyer family? Why are they all so disjointed? And why, in holy fuck, is Leatherface so goddam nerfed in this one (and, to a lesser extent, in II)? He was imposing terror in the first movie; here, he's barely a threat at all and he's nearly drowned in the film's penultimate scene.
What did you all think of TCM III?

2023.05.28 08:05 throwwway_404 Not sure where this is going or how to steer it in the right direction
This is the first time I am doing this. Please be gentle.
I (26M) am in a (long distance)relationship with Selena(not her real name of course) for almost a year now. I have known her for 5 years and we had dated for a few months in the past but I broke up with her cause I was unable to picture a future with her.
When we started dating again it was going quite good for the first few months and everything was quite love-dovey and tbh it felt right. She convinced me that we would have a future together and she still love me a lot. It felt like everything was now fitting in place and this time it would last. But things have started to fall apart and I really don't know what to do about it, how to react.
A bit of back story about her - before me she was in a serious relationship with a guy called James. James was also quite serious about her and he gave her all the attention and was always good to her. But she feels she took him for granted and would always fight with him, and he used to beg for her love. She even told about him to her family and they liked him. Since she wasn't able to reciprocate the feelings for him and didn't treat him right, one day he left her.
Now coming back to our relationship, a couple of months back she came to know that James is seeing someone else and apparently he started bad mouthing her. This news got to her family and they started blaming her for losing such a nice guy. All of this I guess is what shook her and right now she is feels low and disappointed in herself. (when all this happened I wasn't aware about it)
During that time I used to talk to her and ask her what is wrong cause she started talking less, stopped expressing her love. She would say sorry and she knows she is doing wrong but asked me to be patient. I told her I understand and I am right here whenever she wants me. But things haven't been improving much, she says she wants to be with me and loves me but to me it doesn't look like she is trying. Her behavior is still the same, most of the time it's just me who tries to initiate a conversation. I asked her if she is losing interest in me and I reassure her that I would understand if that was the case but she says she loves me and wants be with him.
Yesterday we had this conversation again but this time it was her who initiated it. She told me she thinks she is toxic and could never be able to comfort her partner. She doesn't feel comfortable around me cause she thinks if she opens up fully in front of me I will notice the ego, attitude she has and she is only showing the good side of her. She even told me that she doesn't think we have a future cause her family would not approve (I asked her about this before getting together but at that she thought she would be able to convince her family but now after James incident she doesn't think they will agree). She told me again she doesn't want to leave me and hurt me. I kept on trying to convince her that I here to stay for the long run and even if we fight and if we care about each other we both will try our best to make it work. I quoted her this (which I believe in) - "There is no perfect, there will always be struggle. You just have to pick who you want to struggle with". I gave her reassurances and she said she is having this conversation cause she thinks I am a good guy and she doesn't want to lose me.
tbh, at this point I don't know what I am doing wrong and (or) what are the right things that I can do to make things better.
p.s. - It was a long post but it feels a bit better writing it all out.

A bit of back story about her - before me she was in a serious relationship with a guy called James. James was also quite serious about her and he gave her all the attention and was always good to her. But she feels she took him for granted and would always fight with him, and he used to beg for her love. She even told about him to her family and they liked him. Since she wasn't able to reciprocate the feelings for him and didn't treat him right, one day he left her.
Now coming back to our relationship, a couple of months back she came to know that James is seeing someone else and apparently he started bad mouthing her. This news got to her family and they started blaming her for losing such a nice guy. All of this I guess is what shook her and right now she is feels low and disappointed in herself. (when all this happened I wasn't aware about it)
During that time I used to talk to her and ask her what is wrong cause she started talking less, stopped expressing her love. She would say sorry and she knows she is doing wrong but asked me to be patient. I told her I understand and I am right here whenever she wants me. But things haven't been improving much, she says she wants to be with me and loves me but to me it doesn't look like she is trying. Her behaviour is still the same, most of the time it's just me who tries to initiate a conversation. I asked her if she is losing interest in me and I reassure her that I would understand if that was the case but she says she loves me and wants be with him.
Yesterday we had this conversation again but this time it was her who initiated it. She told me she thinks she is toxic and could never be able to comfort her partner. She doesn't feel comfortable around me cause she thinks if she opens up fully in front of me I will notice the ego, attitude she has and she is only showing the good side of her. She even told me that she doesn't think we have a future cause her family would not approve (I asked her about this before getting together but at that she thought she would be able to convince her family but now after James incident she doesn't think they will agree). She told me again she doesn't want to leave me and hurt me. I kept on trying to convince her that I here to stay for the long run and even if we fight and if we care about each other we both will try our best to make it work. I quoted her this (which I believe in) - "There is no perfect, there will always be struggle. You just have to pick who you want to struggle with". I gave her reassurances and she said she is having this conversation cause she thinks I am a good guy and she doesn't want to lose me.
tbh, at this point I don't know what I am doing wrong and (or) what are the right things that I can do to make things better.
p.s. - It was a long post but it feels a bit better writing it all out.

I (26M) am in a (long distance)relationship with Selena(not her real name of course) for almost a year now. I have known her for 5 years and we had dated for a few months in the past but I broke up with her cause I was unable to picture a future with her.
When we started dating again it was going quite good for the first few months and everything was quite love-dovey and tbh it felt right. She convinced me that we would have a future together and she still love me a lot. It felt like everything was now fitting in place and this time it would last. But things have started to fall apart and I really don't know what to do about it, how to react.

2023.05.28 07:59 RoutineSavings5874 AITA for calling my view-forcing teacher a bitch on my story?
I (M17) have a right-winged political view, but 99% of people in my area have a left-winged view. Not really a problem, I get along with friends with the opposite view, and we agree to disagree. It's not that hard as I'm not far-right (I'm gay myself so I can't be lol) and my friends are not far-left.
But in English, the book we were reading had some left winged views, and my teacher would focus on those parts. We learned about how man has it way easier, and how man sexualizes woman, and in the book, the protagonist gets rap*d once and forcefully kissed two times and my teacher would go on talking about how that is very common for women, etc. At this point I did not like reading the book or how we had to write an essay only on woman's double standards.
However, that was not the worst part. When talking about a character's dad she stated, "Not only is the father a conservative and strictly religious but he also abuses his daughter." (I'm not religious) This sentence was the last tick for me. But instead of talking to the teacher, I just posted on my Instagram story saying "My English teacher did not just say "Not only is the father a conservative and strictly religious but he also abuses his daughter." like bitch, I think one of them is considerably worse than the other 💀" and my one regret is not posting that to close friends, because apparently some teacher pet took a screenshot of my story and showed it to the teacher. The teacher called me after class for about 15 minutes and talked about me being in the wrong for talking bad things behind her back and making it public for everyone to see (my account is private but I do see where she's coming from). I should have said that she shouldn't have said those things in the first place but at that moment my mind was blank and I was just silent, and Currently, I got my first referral.
You can disagree with my political views but Am I The Asshole?

2023.05.28 07:58 Finksta_951 Finally installed my Sundown X12V3 on a 3500W SIA amp with all 0 Guage OFC into my 2020 Toyota Camry.
 | I have just been being lazy lately and putting off installing this system that I bought last summer because I wanted it to be 100% before I installed it so I wouldn't be that guy with a half ass system. Well long story short I am now that guy. I am looking for some 3.5 in dash speakers and from what my install guy says 4 6x9s. I have heard of guys going straight 6.5in in all the door speakers but if the selection is good I am willing to go with either it doesn't really matter to me. submitted by Finksta_951 to CarAV [link] [comments] I am looking for the absolute best door speaker set up in the mid price range. Also I don't know what size/channel amp I should get so suggestions would be appreciated. Lastly as it sits right now the sub works great and I haven't had any electrical issues that I would consider major. I can be thumping away and the only thing I will notice is after a while I will get slight interior light dimming very slight and only interior lights my headlights don't even move but still I have plans to give my poor alternator a break. I want to go with a higher output alternator and already have the wire ran for a second battery but I don't know too much about mixing my existing battery with a nice lithium in the back. Some guys say delete the front battery all together and just go lithium, other people say that you would need to replace your existing battery so that your electrical is just lithium, I personally have seen guys using a lithium battery in the back with the stock battery still intact but using an isolation solenoid to keep the batteries from fighting each other when my car is sitting but I would like to know if anyone else has any info on second batteries in newer cars so I don't end up fucking something expensive up because I am already like 2500 into this and having to buy a new ECU would not be very cash money.

2023.05.28 07:50 shahhrukhan NOFAP IS NOT THE FINAL DESTINATION.
People on this sub need to understand that NOFAP IS NOT SUCCESS, sure it can really help you and have a major hand in your success journey but people need to get out of the mindset that nofap is the final destination no buddy it is not. I see a lot of people here just simply trying to get to day 90 or day whatever it doesn't work like that. You relapse, you relapse again and again and again and again and again but you learn from all of those experiences you shouldn't beat yourself up for relapsing....its a part of the journey and probably the most important part and after a while you just don't relapse as much and PMO doesn't hold as much significance in your life as it used to, you're not jerking off every 10 minutes you don't have random urges, you just have better stuff to do and PMO is the least of your concerns. Nofap is not a destination it is a lifestyle, it is a journey, simply put it's just you being in control of yourself. It is about having self control. It makes you feel better, it doesn't make you feel pathetic and useless the way porn does. It boosts your confidence, and gives you a broader perspective. Once you make nofap a part of your lifestyle you dont look at women as objects you start valuing them as people and you start respecting them. Your testosterone levels start increasing you are wittier and you have a clear mind, you make better choices and find happiness in the little things in life like you know just appreciating the pretty sky, enjoying your meal, finding some real pleasure in music and staying positive all day long and I think that is what truly matters.
P.S - This is simply my personal experience and I just wanted to share it with you guys. Lots of love...AND BEST OF LUCK WITH YOUR JOURNEY...STAY STRONG. (also I'm sorry for the English I know there are some grammatical errors but you get the point.)

2023.05.28 07:45 stax-xats So I was watching Midsummer Night's Dream the other day....
I actually forget why, but MSND came up a few days earlier and since I knew just a little about the story, I decided to give it a try. I found The Live Theatrical Adaptation of Shakespeare by Julie Taylor online. It's unusual tale set in Athens, taking place in a Forest and involving Fairies. Anyway, I was watching the play and out of nowhere - Syril Karn's Mom appear on the screen!
I love Eedy Karn's quick wit and snarkiness. As a side character, She's better than 99% of the characters in other shows, even without saying a word. Just watch her facial expressions! Later, I did some research and discovered that the actor playing Syril has also won awards for his theatrical performances. I knew the Andor cast was talented, but this is next level. I can't wait to see Uncle Harlo!
Eedy Syril is my favorite recurring character on the show, so I already knew she was played by a theater actress. But I didn't expect to see her right then and in full Fairy costume :) Even though watching this kind of play on TV is difficult, I kept watching just to see Kathryn Hunter. It reminded me how talented she really is. (However, I didn't know Kyle Soller was a theater actor and had won several awards.)

2023.05.28 07:43 Feio_Fracassado I can't stand being this lonely anymore
First of all, sorry if there's any English mistake.
I'm 20 years old never kissed someone and never had friends.
I was born ugly. Not a messy person, not someone average. I'm ugly. objectively ugly. I could number all the features of my face that are considered disgusting by society, but I won't because otherwise the post would possibly have another 100 lines.
I can't have a conversation looking directly into people's faces because I feel ashamed of myself. I miss the obligatory mask use during covid times. Everywhere I go, I try to position myself at an angle where my face is as little exposed as possible. When I walk down the street, I stay on the side of the wall so that one side of my face is hidden. When I see someone taller than me, I feel inferior. Especially if it's someone handsome and tall... then, in addition to feeling inferior, I feel angry and jealous of the person. This is body dysmorphia, quite possibly. One of the thousands of psychological problems I developed because of childhood bullying
There are those who say that a good personality is capable of overcoming such conditions. Maybe I would even agree, if we're referring to someone average or just a little ugly. But in relation to the real uglies, that's already a myth. But ok, let's suppose it's true: it wouldn't work for me either because I have social phobia and I've never even had any friends. That is, I don't know how to talk, I'm socially awkward and I've never had experiences that 99% of normal people with the same age have had, such as a simple trip to the mall with friends or a friendly call on discord.
But to make things worse (when someone is cursed at birth, it has to be completely cursed, right?), I'm short. I'm around 5'6 tall. And so is my masculine organ.
Loneliness, in small doses, is wonderful (at least for us introverts). It's great to be alone and listen to music, play something, play a video game, read a book, cook... but daily, eternal and continuous loneliness is one of the worst feelings that any human can have, after all, we are social beings and what allowed the evolution of the species was the social relationship. And I don't have it. I don't know what it's like to feel loved by people who aren't family (since in this case affection and love is just instinctive). I don't even remember the last time I got a hug. And I'm starting to miss all of that, especially seeing others around me happy and living their lives like a movie.
I, truly, just wanted to be normal. But maybe this life isn't for me.

2023.05.28 07:41 Chrystolis22 To Hurt A Mother Bear
Trigger warning for blood, the violation of the Geneva Convention, dead children, and just a little bit of torture.
"You made a mistake."
"You should have left me alone."
I glare apathetically at the shaking C'ultrina who's exoskeleton clad form stared in horror at the blade dripping with the blood of her drones and underlings.
"Yes I was a 'criminal' under your laws and yes I was taking away other 'criminals'. You however dropped a vacuum bomb on my house and the children I saved. Children in my protection that were almost ready to go through the portal to Earth."
"Trust me I'm not the only one that noticed your heinous act." I leaned on the point of my rapier digging into the stone beside her neck. "There are things far older and more powerful than you out there. Like people with morals and standards."
"To be fair they don't always follow their rules themselves. However it doesn't take long for a revolution or a social movement… that I may have had a hand in. To fix things."
"In other words… unlike you, it's possible to reason with them."
I lean forward and bare my fangs at her neck. "I am a vampire, true, but do you know what I used to be? What the 'psychotic bitch' - if I've done my translation right - used to be?"
I watch as her eyes widened as she realize she missed something. "Yes though I've lived for many millennia as a vampire, and though I am probably the oldest on this planet bar the planet itself… I was born a Human."
I grin as realization dawns on her. I tear my rapier through the stone away from you and stand up when you flinch away from me.
"Yes I stole some of your planet's magic for my own. I was hoping to see what a technomagocricy was capable of past an industrial level of technology."
"It's a shame I'll have to end it all."
"Don't worry I'm not a monster… yet. I still have some mercy to give. I'll call in a few favors and ask them to blow up some of your nukes for you. I think reducing your civilization to the stone age to try again is a reasonable punishment for the genocide you mercilessly purpotrated here."
I chuckle as I turn my back to her. "You probably won't live to see it though… what you did to those children in my care… I can't forgive you for that."
I grin savigly as I hear the sound of an arcane pistol being cocked and laugh as the bullet tore through my chest.
Coughing up blood my voice drops into a snarl. "So you do have a spine after all."
She watches in horror as I use my own blood to yank the bullet from the wall in front of me and turn to face her again.
"What? You thought that would kill me?" I cough up more blood and grin. "Oh the irony that even if you hit my heart I'd just come back! In your hubris you didn't even try to find my weakness. Trusting your superior magic and technology to kill someone who can't die from magic or technology."
"How pathetic. You won't even understand when I call you Icarus."
I glance at the deformed bullet as my blood fashions it into a spike, and Imbue it with a curse.
"I curse you Icarus, for flying too close to the sun and thinking yourself above all others. For constructing a genocide for political gain against the Kaltar who grew up as siblings on this planet with you."
My voice raises in volume as I start to yell through the pain and blood.
"For violating the Geneva Convention of the United Species! I grow quiet again as I choke back tears now… "and for killing my adopted children. I Marqués Vermilion of Earth sentence you to a slow and painful death."
Who knows…" I grin, as your bullets tear through me again.
"Maybe you'll live long enough to witness the end of yours and your Queen's ambitions." I push the spike through your chest like a hot knife through butter and watch the runes light up blue from your blood fueling the curse.
"Seeing as you don't stand a snowball's chance in hell, against the might of a righteous crusade of angry humans that's… surely already on its way." I finish inserting the spike in time for us both to fall. Her from pain and me from blood loss.
As I release my blood magic and let my body start its rapid regeneration I say to her writhing form. "Be thankful I gave your species a second chance."
I close my eyes as consciousness finally flees from me and I welcome the embrace of the dark once more.
End
This is my first story on this sub I hope y'all enjoy it! If you have any suggestions or criticism I'd love to hear it.

"What? You thought that would kill me?" I cough up more blood and grin. "Oh the irony that even if you hit my heart I'd just come back! In your hubris you didn't even try to find my weakness. Trusting your superior magic and technology to kill someone who can't die from magic or technology."
"How pathetic. You won't even understand when I call you Icarus."
I glance at the deformed bullet as my blood fashions it into a spike, and Imbue it with a curse.
"I curse you Icarus, for flying too close to the sun and thinking yourself above all others. For constructing a genocide for political gain against the Kaltar who grew up as siblings on this planet with you."
My voice raises in volume as I start to yell through the pain and blood.
"For violating the Geneva Convention of the United Species! I grow quiet again as I choke back tears now… "and for killing my adopted children. I Marqués Vermilion of Earth sentence you to a slow and painful death."
Who knows…" I grin, as your bullets tear through me again.
"Maybe you'll live long enough to witness the end of yours and your Queen's ambitions." I push the spike through your chest like a hot knife through butter and watch the runes light up blue from your blood fueling the curse.
"Seeing as you don't stand a snowball's chance in hell, against the might of a righteous crusade of angry humans that's… surely already on its way." I finish inserting the spike in time for us both to fall. Her from pain and me from blood loss.
As I release my blood magic and let my body start its rapid regeneration I say to her writhing form. "Be thankful I gave your species a second chance."
I close my eyes as consciousness finally flees from me and I welcome the embrace of the dark once more.

2023.05.28 07:41 SMG-Meggy-Official My Take On SMG4 Lately!!!
Alright so before I begin this post. I am well aware many of this sub dislikes or hates me since yes, I was a controversial youtuber before, however, I've ever since been trying to slowly change that and all I ask while you read this is to at least hear me out.
Now to the rant at hand. I will also state immediately that this isn't a hate post but more of a concern I have in general about the series.
Alright so you all heard lately how Colin recently quit SMG4 as one of the writers and everyone was overjoyed and or instantly blamed glitch entirely. I want to state either one is not really valid because the guy can indeed write after I saw the highlights he did. He isn't perfect by any means but he's a lot better than I've expected.
As for the part on blaming glitch heads for refusing his ideas, I can't say they are entirely in the wrong. I myself am also a writer part time for other channels and I do scripts for fun. No revenue, literally for fun since I have a bigger passion for writing than for animating to be completely honest since early 2023.
I state this because a lot of youtubers I work with don't use 100% of what I write and hell, some don't even credit me. Although to be fair, I understand since once again I know I was a controversial youtuber back in 2021 and half of 2022 before the original channel was deleted. Just because ideas aren't 100% used doesn't mean glitch is evil for it. They have the right to refuse an idea. That being said though, I will agree some of the decisions not to add said ideas seemed a bit odd.
I would also like to note Medi and Cloud are the goat of Animators and Editors and may sneak in some things that works magically sometimes lol. Actually Cloud is a friend of mine and he's such a chill guy to chat with.
Now here is where the actual rant begins. I am very concerned on where Glitch is taking SMG4 and no, not with the redesign or the Castle going deletus. My concern lies with the characters in general.
Why is it that now Meggy for example on SMG4 is inconsistent on being nice or being mean? I do have a theory that they may be trying to portray Meggy as a Bipolar or borderline personality disorder but still, even then, I feel they don't know which direction to take with her but they use her in many videos as she is SMG4's cash cow and for good reason. I am concerned that it could lead to them killing her off or making her a complete ass which I don't want either to happen. It's quite sad actually that she is meaner with Mario more and more but yet, despite Mario's flaws and his...Manchild behavior, he has saved her ass many times and helped her more than most others ever would. No, I am not suggesting what y'all probably assume....I just freaking miss them being friends in general and actually be a good duo together as friends.
Mario is a whole other issue. My god, the guy has went from a dumb Italian to a full on man child which I also partially blame on how everyone on SMG4 Treats him. The poor guy is abused all the time and Meggy even once said while still somewhat sane that she couldn't imagine living like him every single day and she understands why he acts as he does. Yes, it is funny to see Mario be abused or get his just desserts but....They go waaaaaayyy overboard with it and then make him more and more like a child which gets old super quickly. Today's episode I feel we saw a bit more of Old SMG4 Mario but, that ending today sorta made him go back to a man child.
What the heck happened to SMG3? I mean I don't mind him being what he is for the most part and growing as a person but I also feel he is becoming a Stewie Griffin RIP Off nowadays. Over used Jokes and how SMG3 seems to sometimes struggle on being good and bad. It's like make up your mind what SMG3 is and hell, maybe have a SMG3 VS SMG4 episode again. This one though is not my biggest issue so that, i'll just say it's a agree to disagree situation.
SMG4 himself, I am literally confused what his actual role or stance is these days on the show. One minute he's sane, another he's insane and then another he's borderline evil? I kinda feel like SMG4 is on the same "Bipolar" Episode as Meggy in a way and that also concerns me. All else I need to add is, no hate for him, just confused on his stance.
Why is everyone else like Bowser,, Chris, Swag, Peach, Saiko, Tari, Boopkins and Bob in a lot less episodes? Last time I've checked, aside Boopkins and Peach, everyone else is loved by the community for the most part. Make them appear more.
Luigi is the one character I feel is on a similar track than years ago and I honestly have no complaints with how Luigi is portrayed lol.
Alright so why does all of this concerns me? I kinda feel like in a way, the series is heading towards a SML route and or a stale and weird route. I am not sure if they are trying to end the series or if they are trying to go fresh but going about it the wrong way or if it's just bad writing. I am just concerned on the actual direction the show is going. On my community, on SMG4's and others, I often see this as complaints. "I don't watch SMG4 anymore" "The episodes suck since Lawsuit Arc" "Meggy is overused and shouldn't be used anymore" "Mario's a Manchild" "The writers don't know what they're doing".
I just feel like the community is dividing even further and it's honestly super sad. I've wanted to write for SMG4 since 2022 actually but now seeing what happened to Colin and how sometimes questionable decisions are made that I myself don't understand why it was denied. I don't know. Makes me worried if I somehow wrote for glitch plus being controversial, bigger hate would arise for Glitch and I which sucks.
I honestly feel SMG4 just needs to go back to his routes a little bit, look into himself to see what the fans actually want but also see what he want's. Blend it together somehow instead of going extreme on one end or the other and just actually make decisions that can benefit more people instead of denying only because one or two people are uncertain or scared of taking risks. Risks are always something to consider but also know when to do it and when not to do it you know.
Also, I want to point out that I know FM may read this and in case he is, just want to point out that I know you already try to please both sides when you're involved with the writing and as for Medi and Cloud, keep sneaking in juicy scenes lol. I personally love it when either of them do a scene.
James, Kevin and Luke, by all means this is not a hate post and whoever reads this, I don't want everyone to attack one another or glitch or anyone working for glitch or the fans and non fans.
This is simply a rant of my concerns and if anyone from glitch would like to address them to me privately or in the post, feel free and I would be more than happy to listen.
I will also warn that if this post does lead to direct drama to me or to glitch, I may take down this post. I just want to see in general if my concerns are founded or unfounded and to possibly help glitch get back fully on the map and making spicy quality content.
Anyways, that's all I gotta say so take care everyone.

2023.05.28 07:39 Passfax NSE4 v7.2 - Failed
A couple of days ago I asked for some advice on NSE4 exam on this sub, I just took it and failed.
I thought I had studied enough, but evidence says I wasn't prepared for taking this exam. This is my review:
submitted by Passfax to fortinet [link] [comments]
I thought I had studied enough, but evidence says I wasn't prepared for taking this exam. This is my review:
- I didn't lab enough. Most of the questions were applied concepts rather than plain theory from the training portal. I was familiar with all the concepts but reading some figures were confusing
- As a CCNA I am skilled at routing, I'm doing it on my daily basis both static and dynamic thanks to my job and yet I got the lowest score at routing and don't know why
- I skimmed through FSSO and ZTNA, that was an awful mistake. A lot of the questions were AD related and had tight relationship with the collector agent, that was probably my weakest spot
- The practice exam at the training portal is not reliable. Questions were not exactly similar, and there are a lot of figures on the actual exam
- CCNA is definitely harder. Fortinet questions are not tricky in the same sense, they are very straightforward from the literature and that's a problem when your mindset is deep in into the troubleshooting side. Answering to some questions is not easy if you haven't memorized the text to the slightest detail, is not a matter of digesting the concepts and apply them on a real scenario
- The core of the exam is knowing the differences between policy-based and profile-based mode inspection modes. If you have that clear and can list the differences on both modes to the details and go across with it to all other topics, you're doing good
2023.05.28 07:37 Mantis_Shrimp47 Blackberries in an Open Grave
My grandmother, Ida, loves to talk. She'll tell stories for days, but she only told me this story once, and never spoke about it again.
There’s an abandoned steel skeleton on the other side of the cemetery where Ida grew up. It used to be a cell tower, or maybe it was for power lines; there’s no way to tell now. The blackberry plants are still there, though. They twist around the places where the metal still disappears into the dirt, the beams sunk deep into the ground despite the way the whole structure has fallen sideways into the grass. The graves are in almost the same state of disrepair, with most of the names scrubbed away by the rain and the wind. But there’s one heads tone that still gleams like it did on the day it was made, the marble cast with shifting shadows from the sugar-maple tree that looms over it. Charlotte Telor is etched into it, along with beloved.
Charlotte’s mother, Ida, is eighty-three now. She can barely walk from all the cancers that have left her body weak, and she hobbles along with one hand on her husband's shoulder and one hand on mine. She kneels in front of Sharon’s tomb and prays over it, then puts down new flowers to replace the old ones. She comes here so often that the previous flowers still look almost fresh. When Ina gets up, she has a stinging nettle rash on her right knee and an oak gall stuck to her sweater.
They’d pick the blackberries, Charlotte and Ida, back when the tower was still standing proud over the cemetery. Charlotte loved to gather up a handful of berries and put one at the foot of every grave, with a pause between each to eat one herself, of course. She thought that each patch of dirt contained an angel, and she could gain their favor by feeding them. She picked up bits of tombstones and tried to fit the puzzle pieces back together, even when the graves looked like nothing more than a bare patch of dirt.
Ida goes to church every Sunday and puts her whole heart into it, singing as loud as her throat can manage, even when it hurts her. She bakes bread once a month to share at the community dinners, donates candles for Christmas service, and is generally a pillar of the Spartanburg community.
“They all came over when Charlotte died,” Ida told me. “All of my friends, every single one of them.” She didn’t spend a moment alone, and she didn’t have to cook for herself for a month. There was a collection sent around, the following Sunday, to pay for Charlotte's medical bills.
It started when Charlotte started walking around hunched over, her arms wrapped tight around her stomach. When she started vomiting and didn’t stop, Ida took her to the emergency room in their old car, rattling over the potholes at seventy miles an hour. They were sent away at the emergency room, though, because Charlotte wasn’t crying and it was busy. Another day passed. Charlotte grew more and more sick. They went back to the emergency room, and finally talked to a doctor.
The doctor looked her over, pressed on her belly, and then went silent. He picked her up and took her into the next room without a single word, except to brush off the secretary.
“They need to sign in,” the secretary said.
“No time,” the doctor answered, his voice still deathly quiet.
Ida doesn’t remember what happened after that. It’s lost to her in a haze of grief and people running. All she knows is that her baby died from a burst appendix because she was sent away the first time they went to the doctor. Charlotte was two years old. She was buried in the same cemetery that she used to hunt for blackberries in.
“She didn’t cry,” Ida said. “The whole time, she didn’t cry. The doctors told me that she must have had such a massive tolerance for pain.”
But my grandmother tells me something different.
"I saw them take her," Ida says. "The demons. They crawled out of the graves and killed Charlotte's blackberry angels."
According to Ida, she didn't cry because the demons had stuffed their claim into her mouth, gagged her on their rotting flesh and planted their poison in her.
“The God that I know is a loving God,” Ina said. "I don't know how he could let that happen. It just slipped by his notice, I guess."
She is eighty-three years old and losing a child is still the worst thing that has ever happened to her. Her confession to me, in an ashamed whisper, is that she can only keep going because she knows that she will see Charlotte again, one way or another. She's been catching glimpses of the demons out of the corners of her eyes for decades.
