Drag racing android get money

The players started off as being hired and meeting on a dock to 'protect precious cargo'. This ended up being protecting orphans in an island orphanage off the coast of Sharn. Some shenanigans and downtime ensue after which, the quest giver drops a bomb on them. The people that were attacking his orphanage were there for a golden dragon egg.
Now they are escorting a dragon egg to dragon sanctuary on the Dragonwatch isles south of Talenta while trying to hide from the Quori who want to use the egg to restart the last war. Why do they want to restart the last war?
Because I made the Quori's motivation be that they are reality TV snobs who saw the last war as the best season so far. The goal was to have one of their own: 'The Quori BBEG is named: The Producer.' possess a gold dragon hatchling, use the various hazards of the Mournland to artificially age the dragon, and start a series of attacks in order to get countries at each others throat again.
But how was the Producer going to come over from Dal Quor? He was going to go to the Feywild from the plane of dreams so he doesn't directly come to the material plane from Dal Quor. The players foiled his attempt to bring him over from a Feywild Manifest Zone. The players then captured an inspired (The Assistant Director) and rolled really well to convince him that they should do other forms of entertainment, like the Great Brelish Bake-Off, Slice of Life content, and similar non-violent shows. The assistant director would make the pitches and get back to them.
What they haven't realized yet is the quori will twist these non-violent tastes into something much more sinister and dark...
but now the players are level 9 and now I know the Producer will do for their final grand plan.
As the adventure continues... the Quori are going to align themselves with some of Eberrons other villains, any ideas?
Right now the players are in the northern Mournland and their destination for this arc is the Dragonwatch Isles off the SE coast of Khorvaire. I'm looking for ideas for how the Quori can gain money and gain more powerful inspired members. Preferably ones that can cast 9th level spells. Any ideas?

Since the update, I can’t find any good way to get money besides grinding. It’s annoying having to grind between builds. Are there any updated tutorials on how to give myself infinite money/build materials?
I’m not technically smart whatsoever.

Hello everyone, 28 old, short, nerdy Asian mailman here looking to... deliver you a potential relationship!
I'm a pretty big introvert who likes the normal introvert things like video games and a strong affinity for food. Star sign is Sagittarius and personality type changes all the time! I can never find one that I feel is accurate. It's funny, my friends would describe me as relatively quiet but my coworkers/strangers would see me as someone that's very outgoing- I tend to put on a smile and be more talkative when in public.
Already mentioned but I'm pretty short (5'3). I'm a college graduate and don't consider myself career minded. Fingers crossed I can stay with my current job and retire with it, very happy with my current situation. I'm not shy, open to talking about whatever interests people and have a generally neutral to positive disposition.
I'm politically more left leaning but I avoid extremist belief, raised catholic (but not a major part of my life) and not interested in having biological children. Overall looking for someone that shares similar interests and enjoys living a slower, comfortable life that's outside the rat race.
I don't have a preference for texts, voice chats, facetiming etc, and not afraid to send a selfie (sfw) if that's important to you. Open to LDR but not relocating, love my family too much 😅
If anyone's interested, I'd love to get to know you!

I know people are already outraged by the skin bundle prices. ( I myself did think it was a bad joke at first, Which I was then proven horribly wrong ) but I've been getting mixed messages with the bundles and what not.
So I need some help getting clarity on the pricing. I saw a few people say that the battle pass price included mythic essence and the Leblanc skin among the skt1 skins and all the dubious other stuff.
But I ALSO saw that the 3 Ahri skins would be in the battle pass but you would basically have to work your way through the battle pass in order to upgrade her, sort of like the Seraphime skin? I'm reaalllyyyy hoping this is true and not that the only way to get the immortalised Ahri skin ( which is the ONLY version worth getting IMO if you're willing to buy such a overpriced skin ) is buying a $750(AUD) bundle. 😭 and I know a lot of you will be telling me it's just pixels on a screen etc. and yes I agree but everyone has a poison right? Whether it's sports cars, fancy clothes, good food, drinks.
We all have something we like to dish money out on, and if you've been an avid fan of league & esports it's hard to just give up on buying the skin after seeing the effects it comes with, I know I'll get flamed for saying but I've come to terms with that a long time ago since joining leagues

What's the deal?
I understand transitioning everything to UE5 is going to make some things different, just wasn't expecting for the worse.
Worst of all is the UI. Doesn't seem to work half the time and a lot of features that were great were removed from the beta.
As someone with many hours played in the beta, here's some things I've noticed suck now:
The UI is super buggy. After a match, pressing Yes or No to a rematch does absolutely nothing. You just have to sit and wait out the timer (which is way to long btw)
The menus are as convoluted as the new currency systems.
Speaking of, the new currency systems have way to many different things that are not very well explained as to what they're for or how to obtain them (maybe I'm missing something)
The Badge system doesn't even show me what the badges are for anymore, nor do they show the value they represent unless you're in the pregame lobby and everyone is already ready to go, at which point you have about 4 seconds to check those badge stats. Can't check them in the main menu where you put them on for some reason.
Don't get me started on the Rift PvE mode. Lackluster and boring as all hell. Feels like a cheap mobile knockoff of Smash Bros mini games when I'm not in an actual battle, which accounts for what feels like a third of the progression in the Rift Mode.
Earning gems is confusing and not well explained at all.
Certain match quests in the Rift mode require you to have a specific (often paid) character OR paid character with a specific paid Skin in order to even attempt. Shame.
The store doesn't even have said skins or characters available for purchase so we just have to wait and hope we catch the rotation of that item in the shop, pay money for it, then we can get 1 extra point for the Rift mode? Nice try. (i.e. Harley's Joker Tee Skin which isn't even available anywhere that I can find)
The Career tab doesn't track half the things it used to for some reason. Only tracks my 2v2 and 1v1 casual win rate and account level.
There are so many things about this full release that feel like this is the beta and the beta was the full release. Not sure what happened here tbh. I loved this game and was so hype for today when it launched. What a disappointment.
I hope you all listen to your player base and every single piece of feedback you get. Day one with more issues than the beta is a big problem. I'm sure Warner Bros have a lot to do with this as well, but these technical issues should not be a problem, especially in the day and age where devs and publishers seem to think releasing a full game on day one full of bugs and issues is okay.
Hopefully these issues get fixed asap but as it stands, this game is not very good.
All that said, the actual fighting and gameplay feels relatively fine, though I do have some grievances there also, it's at least playable (for the most part) but playable shouldn't be acceptable on day one of your launch.
What a mess...
Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted talk ✌️

I am a 25 year old male and I did something in my teens, which destroyed my mental health to the point where I would contemplate suicide.
I am well aware and have this basic principle drilled into my skull, which is that if you have done something horrible and disgraceful, you no longer have the rights and privilege to express any kind of emotions or explain the reasons as to why something happened. In fact the only emotions you can express is regret and remorse all so that it can serve to lessen the pain of the people who have been hurt. If you were to express or explain anything that is irrelevant in service to others such as your own point of view which led you to that point, then people will throw rocks at you and look at you with disgust. In other words all you can do is either take on full responsibility in silence even if it crushes you flat and live with your head low for the rest of your life in shame never to reach any form of happy experiences or continue the destructive path reminiscent to hell itself like a wild animal screeching and wailing as you do more harm to both yourself and others, until someone is robbed of everything or receives death as punishment. At that point the abyss has shown its terrifying face to you and all you can do is look at it in silence as every piece of you crumbles bit by bit straight into the ground.
I stole a bit over £20,000 in the span of 6 years from my own mother.
It started one day when she showed off how much she has saved in cash, as she would spread the money on the kitchen table and tell me to count it all, since she was either too low on energy or couldn't be bothered.
It made me wonder why is it that she isn't keeping most of her money in the bank, and instead in a wallet that would be placed inside the drawer next to her bed or underneath her mattress. I thought to myself, how easy it would be to take little from it in a way that would not be noticed, but I was too naïve as that would only work in short term. I went ahead of myself and did it long term, which fucked me up and strained our relationship.
I used it mostly on Gacha games and some of it on Euro Millions lottery tickets. In the end I was not only bad at the gacha games, but I did not win anything substantial from the lottery tickets.
It basically went from my mother's hard earned money to my gullible mind with intrusive thoughts to someone else's bank account. In return my mother lost that money, because of me and I received temporary cheap dopamine. Even if I wanted to sell the gacha game accounts, It is pretty much impossible, since it is not a physical object and nobody will pay that much for a gacha game account that is not part of the more played gacha games. Alternatively it would've been better if it was trading cards, since those can be sold for quite a lot and you won't have to deal with scammers who pose as buyers.
I was also a NEET for 4 years, which it does not paint a good image on myself. I did at least cook, wash the dishes, do laundry, clean the floors and help with carrying groceries.
However, one day things pretty much blew up and we got in a very serious argument/confrontation. Which resulted in me being told that I will become homeless and I have to figure things out for myself. Then I decided to go back to my father who was a complete POS due to him sexually assaulting and abusing both of us, which really crushed me, as my mother has always placed me under parental alienation. I said to myself that at this point I might as well jump off a high place, since I am screwed either way.
Option 1 - Homelessness and never getting better
Option 2 - Jumping off a high place
Option 3 - Staying with my father whose existence is like Voldemort to me
I chose option 3 and lived on egg shells for half an year until I decided to lie myself out of there.
My mother proposed a deal which is to go live separately in a house next to my grandparent's house. In return I have to give a few hundred every month, maintain the cleanliness of the house, help my grandparents with anything and give free labour on weekends to my uncle. As well as save money to finish a building behind my grandparent's house.
One year later after the deal, I am here...
I was supposed to go through a Formal Autism Diagnostic Assessment in the UK through the NHS, as my GP thought it would be a good idea to get checked, but that was thrown out of the window the moment I had to go back to my home country.
I couldn't even finish my education as I was way too stupid for a bachelor's diploma. A degree is completely out of my league.
At least now I know that I am even a bigger POS than my father and no matter what I do it will never be enough. I am screwed either way and this is not even the whole picture.
I have no real life friends or online friends and don't even see the point of relationships.
I was diagnosed with ADHD and despite that nobody cares. In fact I was told by my mother to not take the prescribed Stimulants as that would ruin me.
...
...
I have almost decided that I will run away from everything and end it in Japan. It will probably hurt people and cause a lot of heartache and headache to many people, but I don't see any feasible solid solution to my problems.

I used to be lean, with an “average” bra size that was easy to find in any store. Now, though, I’ve gained a bunch of weight and birth control made me grow huge, saggy boobs. I’ve been losing weight and have gone off BC, but my cup size isn’t going down 😭 The overall measurements are, but the band and bust sizes are scaling along with each other. And my boobs are just getting saggier. For the longest time, I’ve just been wearing either sports bras or chest binders to try and minimize my breasts, because I don’t like how big they are.
Anyway, I’m thinking I want to have a more feminine shape now though. Which means real bras. The problem is that, after using the calculator, I’m a size that is just never sold in brick and mortar stores (well, not stores that I have near me). I really do not want to make my boobs seem bigger or more projected, though. I was looking at minimizer and contour bras with full coverage at Kohl’s (like this and this) but they don’t come in my size.
Measurements: (in inches) Loose underbust: 33.5 Snug underbust: 32.5 Tight underbust: 31 Standing bust: 41.5 Leaning bust: 46 Lying bust: 42
According to those measurements, I’m a 34I/J, which is a huge cup that’s hard to find. And definitely not available at any stores I have near me (unless Victoria’s Secret or Torrid would have what I’m looking for?)
My shape is very wide and flat, with no real roundness. Very torpedo shaped. And in bralettes/sports bras/anything that doesn’t separate them, they like to push forwards and together in the center while they sit low, which creates a shape I do not like. I want them pulled up, but not projected. Up and squished but held separate and rounded. Idk if that’s even possible.
Tbh I’d be shelling out for radical reduction surgery if I had the money 😅

Hi all, I have a friend that has been complaining to me about her fiance for months. They’re about to get married in a few weeks, but I’m convinced it’s not a good idea since he is financially abusing her. He’s a textbook narcissist, he says everything is his, including any money she does manage to scrounge up because he’s provided so much for her. Her name isn’t on car titles, and it won’t be on their soon to be house. The tricky part about this is, she has no family to fall back on, and has a kid with this man. Is there anything she can legally do to get on her own two feet if she leaves him? She doesn’t have a job as he told her to quit and that he would take care of her since she got pregnant. She doesn’t know how to separate from him and start a life of her own. We’re both in our early 20s. I don’t have much knowledge on overcoming this type of thing and therefore not much advice to offer. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I’d greatly appreciate it. Located in US.

Looking Thur the shop I saw MULTIPLE SKINS that I could have swear I spent time and money into unlocking in the beta for example the {Cake} Jake Skin variants or the Uncle Shagworthy variant for Shaggy. I feel like this where taking away and they thought “oh no one will notice” but the only reason I play Jake was for that skin. Like I get bugs and errors but how in the hell do you get giving the battle pass away to beta players just to take away all the skins they unlocked during the beta as while. I’ve never seen a game kill itself this quick before.

I was asking the cards (5 card reading) about a relationship situation where there are some communication issues. I asked the cards if this person’s distance has more to do with their own personal/unrelated stressors, or more to do with me.
My intuition has been telling me that the distance doesn’t really have much to do with me, but I am struggling to make meaning from the cards. (I was using the Sacred Rose tarot deck where the 5 of Swords is represented by a kneeling, defeated man impaled horizontally by 4 swords with the 5th sword hovering above his head.. the reversed 3 of Swords is essentially the same as RWS - Reddit isn’t letting me upload a photo).
The first time I pulled the 5 Swords followed by 3 Swords (Reverse) I couldn’t find much meaning in the cards, so I reshuffled (and refocused) and tried again. Exact same combo! I figured the cards may have been stuck together, because I had shuffled / flipped several times…so I tried a third time, and purposely put the cards back in the deck in separate places…so when I pulled this combo again I thought it was best to seek some input!
I didn’t take pictures, mainly because I thought the cards just didn’t make sense and I wasn’t focussed enough, but none of the supporting cards typically represent me in a reading. Across the three different attempts The Knight of Wands was present (this card is frequently representative of him), as was the 4 of pentacles in reverse, Ace of Wands, and Justice.
I think he may be just stressed out by money / work factors or possibly something happening with his divorce. I was just a little freaked out to get the same combination three times in a row, especially with such stark imagery for 5 of Swords with the Sacred Rose deck.
I am beginneintermediate and any perspective would be greatly appreciated!

I cannot stand these pots episodes I get at work. I stand up my heart rate races my vision goes spotty it’s horrible. I can’t even think straight. It doesn’t happen all day but once is enough to scare me. Did any of you ever get to a point where you would have an episode and not find yourself panicking after? I feel like once I have one during the day I’m on the edge waiting for the next one. Ugh. Some days I can’t believe this is my new reality.

News came out today that RIOT has/offer(ed,ing) a buyout of $2.30(what a fucking lowball offer), but that will cause the flood gates to open, now the public knows whats going on and why BITF have been so HUSH HUSH as of late.
RIOT needs BITF to hit its big EH/s goals for 2024-2025, BITF doesn't need RIOT to hit any goals.
Makes you wonder if the old CEO (BITF) just fired was in league with the high ups of RIOT.
So what I think is going to happen before EOM is BITF will counter offer of $5.00-7.00 if RIOT wants to buy it outright right now and now in 6 months.
I don't think BITF will take any offer under $5.00 a share no matter who makes it.
So with this news RIOT said they now own just shy of 10% of BITF...... HOSTILE TAKE OVER, if RIOT wants to do it that way the price will go up as they buy up the open float. As RIOT buys the open float RETAIL will panic buy in.
Why RIOT wants to buy BITF: BITF has 0 debt, will be going from 7 EH/s to 10 EH/s by the end of this month, just finished the ATM offering and are now fully funded to reach their goal of 21 EH/s by EOY 2024.
If RIOT was to just buy buildings or build the buildings needed to house all the miners and all that from the ground up it would cost them more money in the long run.
So the way I see it $2.30 was the opening move for the public to see, but in the back round they have been buying as much of the open float as they could before RETAIL started to notice.
Now that RETAIL has noticed what is going on they will try and buy as much of the open float as they can now, no need to be subtle anymore,(the cat is out of the bag) now is the best time to get in if you are not already on this ride.
So RIOT opened with $2.30, do we think MARA might shoot one next?? Will BITF send a counter offer????
Will MARA make an offer next?????
The way I see it is BITF is only going up from here, I dont know how much could be $0.50 could be $5.00, but it is going up!!!!!!
RIOT needs BITF to hit its big EH/s goals for 2024-2025, BITF doesn't need RIOT to hit any goals.
I have made posts about BITF so if you want a deeper dive just look at my older posts, none of them thought a buyout was even on the table, but good info none the less.

You know what's fun? Getting an email from Facebook that is suggesting my expwBPD who had me blocked. Is it a coincidence that I hit my lowest low last night and posted about it on my this reddit account she's aware of? I dunno and don't care. I used the opportunity to tell her I don't care about the money she owed me any longer and that she can keep it. I have had a rough 22 hours and am thankful there hasn't been a hoover attempt. I am so weak right now I don't know how I could resist even a fake embrace. I feel so alone and appreciate her not taking advantage of my weakness.
Having a sex addiction and an expwBPD who sex bombs herself back into your life is terrifying. I am addressing my sex addiction and past sexual trauma. This is a hard path to walk.

TLDR: I started this relationship to get some action and fear of losing my hair and now I have made my gf madly in love, to the point where I can't leave.
I have been thinking deeply about my life as of late, been really messed up in the head. I realized that my relationship and my gf, who I have sacrificed years of my time, money, and freedom for is built on a lie.
I met this girl online, don't even remember where. But we talked and were friends for a bit. I was in Florida and she was in Wisconsin. Long story short, I jumped into her DM's because I was desperately horny and also because I noticed my hair was thinning a bit and I had a crisis where I basically thought that if I didn't get a girl now, I wouldn't when I had no hair. Idiotic I know, I still have my hair.
So basically, I put my heart and soul into getting this girl and she has fallen deeply in love with me. Like I am her WHOLE WORLD. She cried after I left the first time I went to see her, we only saw each other for 5 days and she was in tears.
I started to really care about her and, although I didn't know it, I was doing everything in my power for her because of my toxic people pleasing tendencies. But now I am in massive debt, in an apartment I can't afford, in a state I hate, and not able to work on myself(I have a lot to do) because I cannot imagine hurting her.
She is very caring, sweet, beautiful, and loving. But I am not ready to be in relationship financially or mentally. But I have no idea what to do, if I break up with her, she will literally be done. She will move in with her abusive parents and probably will fall into really bad depression.
She talks about wanting kids, marriage, and everything, I am HER person, but she has no idea that this relationship started and continued because I was too immature to break it off when I should've.

Hello all, I am looking to move up the corporate ladder and earn more money. I'm currently 29 and will have a baby soon, my wife will not be working anymore and I want to be able to support our family which is why we both decided on this while she takes care of our kids.
Background I have been working in SaaS for the past 7 years, starting as a Support Advisor. Moved to Enterprise Support Advisor. Now I am a Customer Onboarding Specialist (basically like an implementation type of role that involves super basic knowledge of Liquid, HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I currently make 64k CAD a year (which is way too low after taxes, and it would be difficult to support a family with about 36-40k with my current expenses).
I've always been interested in Software Engineering, but never wanted to go to school now understand why it would've been important to go... I would have to upgrade my classes from high school to get into a good university (which would take roughly 1 year).
Question Do you think it would be better to do a coding BootCamp with the experience I have gained and go for a Support Engineer type of role which involves more technical implementation? Or would it be better to just upgrade and go to University to find a better-paying career?
I live in Vancouver, Canada if that matters.

Had some issues with secrecy and lying in general from my husband. Stupid stuff, chatting online with random women who lived anywhere. An “emotional affair” with a woman who is more local but never met in person. Hiding some porn. This all led to more emotional disconnect, and mistrust. I began watching all the bank statements.
We’ve been in weekly marriage counseling for a couple months now. He’s been doing his own weekly therapy for several months now, trying to figure out why he does the things he does.
So, a year ago I saw charges from a shady Asian massage parlor. One time. He swore up and down he only got a regular massage. Hmm, he never mentioned it me at all that day, and seemed a bit expensive. I said no way- those are HJ places and I know it, he swore like 5x it was only a massage and explained it all away. He was even like “eww that’s disgusting.”
He’s denied and trickle-truthed me in the past. He acts very ashamed over things he’s done, and keeps saying he’s sorry. He’s even lied about small household type things to me, just to avoid “getting in trouble.” We begin therapy for due to his lying and gaslighting me on things.
Last week, in our therapy meeting, I said hey there’s a few things bothering me I feel like I wasn’t given full disclosure on. Therapist agrees he must “come clean.” It’s part of the process and has been making me hurt and depressed for a year now. I told him “I’m already imagining the worst, so just man up and come clean, or this will never work out and I’d like to separate.” I also promised to stay calm, but that’s all. I reiterated that coming clean is the only way, and nothing he can say will shock me at this point.
Yesterday we had our talk. He looked so serious and ashamed. I was expecting something pretty big. I was expecting like a confession of physical contact like sex or something.
But no. He changed his story at the massage parlor. He said she began touching him lightly on his penis when he turned over. Then offered him either HJ, BJ, or sex. He said he felt disassociated and wrong, but said sex, then paid with his card. But when she came back into the room and began getting undressed, he freaked out and left. He said he asked for his money back and they said no. And he left, feeling super upset. He said it brought him back to the shame of being molested as a child. Hm interesting. He paid but “got scared” and walked out??
He also stuck to the same story that he’d never met that one woman from online, in person. And I have no evidence of it, I did contact her myself back then and she said the same thing. That they’d never met in person and she wasn’t untested in anything other than “someone to talk to.”
Do we believe him? I don’t know what to do. I am very depressed today and haven’t left my room all day. I feel lost and like I have nobody to get real advice from. I’m also trying to keep this short-ish. I mean we could all write pages on what we’ve been though 😡 😢

Hi everyone!
I recently graduated in May with my BA in psychology. i’m really struggling with what the right steps are leading up to applying for grad school and what will help me stand out. Currently i work as an Assistant teacher at a preschool and day care and I also decided to get a child development degree at a community college near by in hopes to help me in my ideas of being a child forsenic psychologist.
the hardest thing is that even though my internship teacher gave us support there was no talk about what it’s life leading up to graduate school and what is expected of us. i am at stand still with my future but thankfully i have until november to apply for grad schools to potentially start in fall 2025. i know grad school is very hard to get into, but my biggest issue is financies. i know money eventually figures itself out but i truly am struggling with traveling out of state for school.
many of my classmates have suggested get into labs to start researching, and i did for about a year during undergrad but i did nothing more worthy. i have no clue what to do. do i drop my current job to get into research labs or maintain my job work on the Child development associates degree? i need guidance and i am truly uncertain about it all.

hello, as the title suggests my parents want to renovate our basement (we’ve talked about it for yearssss and my dad was able to get a good quote). i graduated university last june and just started working full time last july (barely a full year yet).
i checked with my bank and i was pre-approved for $15,000 w annual borrowing rate of 15.19% (prime + 7.99%), tho my parents say they’d need $10k from me and that they would give me the money to pay it down every month.
the idea scares me regardless because i still have student loans and if anything happens im on the hook for this added debt for something that i don’t consider to be necessary — their mortgage is up for renewal in 18mo and their interest is fixed at around 2% right now… i feel as though they’re not prepared for when their mortgage payments go up pretty soon.
i’m down to contribute what i can when the mortgage renews as i’m working full time now, my parents’ incomes aren’t going up, and i’m pretty much banking on this house for my future at some point. but taking on a Line of Credit for a basement renovation right now just seems like a bad idea to me.
i told them it makes me nervous and my mom immediately said i don’t have to do it..but my dad was really really trying to get this basement done for a long time and i feel the change in his mood already. he wants to just do the basement bathroom at least so i guess we’ll see what that entails.
i guess im looking for some reassurance in my decision? my parents don’t handle money well such as many immigrant parents i’ve noticed and i really do want to help them enjoy their house when they have it you know..maybe that’s just first gen oldest daughter guilt lmao

I haven’t used this app before but I’m desperate for advice so please bear with me. Also please keep in mind I am very quiet and try to think and act rationally because I had to mature at a young age and think & act like an adult I try to avoid conflict no matter how I truly feel because its all I get at home. (I come from a bipolar abusive household) All fake names btw. A little background my ex is very well known in my town and he still has feelings for me and everyone who knows him has been trying to break up me and my boyfriend and get me back together with him. Now to the story: I 17f and my now ex bf 17m got in a big fight last Saturday and i don’t know how to fix it. Saturday night was prom. My parents wouldn’t let me go, they said my grades weren’t good enough (mainly b’s and c’s) and it was a waste of money. My mom suggested I still dress up like I’m going to prom but instead go to dinner and a movie with my friends since it’s cheaper and prom is boring anyway. I told my friends this and they were all on board. However my best friend’s boyfriend is moving across the country this summer so they changed their minds and decided to go to prom. I was fine with this decision since it’s her only chance to have a prom with him and I could still go out with my boyfriend. My boyfriend’s mom however decided he was going to prom with or without me. So everyone was now going except for me. I have a friend 18f (Anna) who graduated last year that offered to take me out with her and her boyfriend (Brandon) so that I wasn’t just sitting at home alone. My parents were somewhat okay with this and we got in a couple arguments over it for a few weeks leading up to prom a couple days before prom my parents changed their minds again and decided I can go so I went out with the money I saved and bought the dress my boyfriend liked (shown above). Later that night my parents changed their minds again and decided I can’t go to prom or hangout with Anna and Brandon. Everyone was getting pissed off and I was upset because I had just bought a dress. The next day (the day before prom) I told my boyfriend I can’t go and would try to sleepover and my other friends house but I wasn’t sure if I could since i had auditions after school, wasn’t sure if she was busy, and it was last minute and I didn’t want to be rude inviting myself like that. I got home from auditions and my parents said I could go with Anna the next day. The day of prom i got up early since my mom said she wanted to do my hair for me before I left. So I got up and find out 3 of our cars aren’t starting (we have a few old classic cars) so I had to help push the cars and watch my little brother while my parents dealt with the cars by the time they were done I had to leave and my mom was upset she couldn’t help me get ready I left and walked over to breakfast with Anna. We finished eating and were waiting on Brandon to get there to pick us up and he was over an hour late, he sat down and ate and when we left it was around 11:15 and we were supposed to go talk pictures with my mom and leave to the arcade at 12. We had no time for pictures anymore and my mom was pissedddd. She stopped responding to me and was beyond mad. We go pick up my clothes and go to Anna’s parent’s house because it’s closer than her house. We finished getting ready it’s about 11:30 and her parents still aren’t home. I talked to Anna about the pictures since it was really important to my mom, she pulled out her phone and texted for a minute then took me a couple houses down to my ex’s house because his mom (Susan) was home and is like a mother to Anna. She had asked my Susan to take a couple pictures really quick so we could leave because it was getting close to noon and we had to get going. I started thinking this is really weird we could just have Brandon take a couple pictures but whatever it’ll be fine. Then Susan’s boyfriend comes out which I thought was weird but again it’s whatever. Then the disaster hit, she called my ex Trevor to come out, I start to worry like wtf is going on, Susan dug through a drawer for a minute and tossed a blue tie at him and told him to put it on. He did and she made him get in the pictures with us, I start panicking like Wtaf is going on now, I asked Anna and she said to just smile we’re taking pictures, so I do and I’m uncomfortable, they put him next to me and I’m leaning away from him and facing away cause wtf but its okay just stay calm its just a picture and I can leave right? We go to leave and Brandon’s car wont start. Susan gives us a ride because we had no other way to leave and she said they already had plans there anyway it’s no big deal. I was already uncomfortable and thinking it’s sketchy. I go to text my boyfriend to tel him whats going on and he starts texting me about how he’s miserable and wants to kill himself. I was trying not to freak out and calm him down because he also comes from an abusive household and has tried to kill himself before. So I started texting him trying to distract him and me being happy cheers him up so I was telling him I was happy and having so much fun so he wouldn’t get more upset and go over the edge. We leave and Susan drives up and we get out and I thought she had left but 5 minutes or so later they walk in, turned out she was parking the car and is staying with us. I was beyond uncomfortable and called my mom but she wouldn’t answer. I was stuck there I told Anna I was uncomfortable and I was told I was just nervous because I don’t leave my house much and needed to relax. I was like okay I’ll just try to stay away from them, so I go over to the little arcade by the bowling alley by myself while they all go to set up bowling, I came back and sat down for a minute, everyone was doing horrible at bowling so I tried, Susan was talking about the scoreboard and taking pictures and I was walking backwards looking at the board and forgot about the ledge that separates the bowling floor from the normal floor and slipped off and tripped on my dress since it drags on the floor and fell. I tried getting up and kept slipping on my dress Trevor was sitting right behind where I fell and leaned forward I put my arms around his neck to pull myself up and he put his arm around my shoulders and behind me knees I was confused and he picked me up off the floor, and slid me onto him lap on his lap. I sat there in shock for a second trying to process the boldness of him doing that. He had moved his arm to go across my thighs holding onto the outer thigh holding me to him and his other hand moved to my arm holding where it was on his shoulder. I looked at him uncomfortable said thanks for the help and asked him to let go of me his grip was really tight he looked at me all smug but then let me go I got up and sat and the other table for a minute trying to process to feeling of knowing if he really wanted to try something id be powerless against him I then talked to Anna and Brandon and Brandon kept Trevor bowling with Anna and I went off to play games at the bigger arcade on the other side of the building. I started cheering up and actually having fun with it being just me and her and was texting my boyfriend (Nate) the whole time trying to cheer him up and keep him distracted. The others had finished their two games of bowling and told us we were going to dinner. I was so relieved thinking finally, I get to leave after this. I was the last one inside the restaurant because people behind me were stepping on my dress and my feet hurt so I was walking slower they all sat down and only spot left was next to Trevor. I almost started to cry I was already uncomfortable told him that at least 5 times just while sitting there and it got brushed off every time. Susan pulled her phone out told me to scoot closer so she could talk a picture I was trying to stay calm and just get through the dinner so I smiled for her picture but kept my hand on the bench so I could push myself away from him the second it was over. I almost had a break down sitting there and we when we finally left they took us went back to the bowling alley because Susan’s boyfriend wanted to play pool and it wasn’t open until after we had dinner. I went to the bathroom and cried for a second because I was so uncomfortable and just wanted to leave. They had taken over the whole day that was supposed to originally be me, my boyfriend, my best friend, and her boyfriend. I cleaned myself up and came back out and just played more games until we finally left. I got home 5 minutes late and my parents screamed at me for two hours and I started to get a crippling pain in my abdomen as they yelled at me and sat on the floor for most of it. When they finished I went to my room and called Nate he told me about how horrible his day was and how he didn’t even go to prom I broke down crying because of what happened and my parents yelling at me and because if he told me he wasn’t going anymore i would’ve taken him with me and it all could’ve been avoided and was in so much pain I passed out. I was supposed to sneak out and go to his house that night and I could barely move so I didn’t. I woke up in the middle of the night and sat up thinking about how to tell Nate about what happened. I decided it was a conversation to have in person so I chose to wait until Monday to sit down and talk to him since he was still in a suicidal mind set and I didn’t want this to be the cherry on top. However what I didn’t know was Susan had taken a picture of when I had fallen and he picked me up and posted it. (Images included above) The mom of a friend of a friend saw the picture sent it to my best friend’s (Avery) boyfriend (Alex) and Alex sent it to Nate. Blowing everything up and now he’s barely talking to me, I talked to everyone and got proof of what I was saying is true that I didn’t cheat and now Alex and Avery believe me but now the situation its affecting Avery and Alex’s relationship and Alex is yelling at me for talking to Avery about how I’m feeling and stressing her out and now Alex is ignoring me. Nate says he needs space and I’ve been trying to give it to him but he means everything to me and im not going to just throw this away because people jumped to conclusions. Everyone is trying to ignore it and forget it happened and it’s not working because problems keep arising. I believe we all need to sit down and talk rationally and calmly because you cant just put a bandaid on a bullet hole and expect it to stop bleeding. I would gladly accept any advice and help on how to address this and fix things between my friends. P.s. it was later confirmed that Anna and Susan had planned it all out so I’d get back together with Trevor

I am very conflicted in my choice to transfer schools. So I would like some insight on what I should do and quick because the enrollment deadline is June 1st.
I currently go to SJSU undeclared but applied to transfer to other schools as Business Marketing. My choices as of now or CSUF and Chapman. I don't want to seem dramatic but SJSU was never a choice I wanted to make in the first place so when I ended up going there I really regretted my decision as I had some really great options that I wasn't able to get when I was applying to transfer. I made the best of my situation and really got involved for my first year but then I felt my growth was stagnant. I really loved the idea of the college experience and moving out hence my wanting to transfer. CSUF was really a backup school that I didn't care for when I had applied but then became one of the choices because I didn't get in anywhere else. I am scared to make another decision that I will regret because CSUF feels like I'm settling as I did with SJSU. So there is a big emotional factor in this decision that makes this even harder to decide.
I am very conflicted as my time at SJSU has been subpar since I'm a commuter at a commuter school. I know that Fullerton is a commuter school too and is even bigger than SJSU so I'm scared of the social aspect there. I am also not a fan of the CSU system anymore. It is too overpopulated and feels as if your just a number in the whole system. Education feels worthless and it doesn't feel like I'm really learning anything.
With Chapman I know that it is smaller and has better education but is it worth the price? I would love to get into the entertainment/social media side of business with my degree and feel that Chapman would be good for that.I don't think I would be going into to debt if I were to go but I would be saving money at Fullerton.

It always starts at 5:13 a.m. Lying in the half-light of my bedroom, I can hear heavy breathing, punctuated by deep breaths and growls that make my hair stand on end. It's there, right next to me. There’s motion. Sheets rustling, a mass rising from the bed. This time, for sure, I won't go back to sleep.
The noises continue into the next room. Familiar yet terrifying sounds, accompanied by weary sighs and muffled whispers. My nervousness increases. The wooden floor creaks and, lurking under my blankets, I pray for daybreak.
It's around 5:30 when the shower turns on. My blood immediately starts to race. I pray for it to stop, but invariably the ordeal lasts a quarter of an hour. Who are you to torture me like this? What's all this about? Why are you making these noises? I'm frozen, tetanized, I don't understand... The height of horror comes as soon as the water stops flowing. Almost immediately afterwards, I hear humming. The same eerie melody sung by a high-pitched voice. I wish I didn't have to listen, but I can't help it. I'd like to run away, but I have to stay alert. A lump forms in my throat, so much so that I have to contain my urge to vomit.
Finally, the bathroom door opens. I feel intense palpitations as my pulse continues to accelerate. Once again, the wooden slats squeak and I know it won't be much longer. It's almost over.
However, I know my respite will be short-lived, and this prospect keeps me from falling back into the arms of Morpheus. The moment the front door opens, I feel as if my body, then stretched like a rubber band stretched to the limit, is about to snap. I never lock the door at night, and I can assure you that hearing the handle turn before six o'clock gives me an intense cold sweat.
After such an experience, there's no way I can sleep, so I decide to get up. I take a few timid steps towards the bathroom, but change my mind. Hearing the creaking floorboards and the drops of water falling from the showerhead into the wet tray is beyond me. All this reminds me too much of the traumatic experience that preceded it, and which still punctuates my daily life. I'm going to put it off a little longer. Heading for the coffee machine, I'm relieved to see that it hasn't been activated this morning. Otherwise, the dread would be at its worst, but today I've been spared.
Although I've just got out of bed, I'm already exhausted. I collapse on the sofa, hot cup in hand. I sip the hot beverage slowly, careful not to make any noise. It could happen again... It will happen again: as I said, this morning's ordeal was just the first of many. I try to forget this harsh reality and allow myself a few more precious minutes of rest. This is absolutely necessary to face what lies ahead.
As I take my first step outside, I am reminded, as I am every day, that my ordeal has only just begun. There it is again, attacking me, clinging to me. It's nipping at my heels, infecting every pore of my skin. In public transport, on the street and then in my workplace, I can feel it following me and overpowering me. I don't know how I manage to put on a brave face, especially when an oblivious colleague says to me: "Say, you should see your face! What's this killer look you've got on your face?" before walking away, laughing stupidly. If he only knew...
For many, returning home is a relief. Home is often a bulwark against outside aggression. In my case, however, the nightmare continues.
At 7.06 p.m., I heard you turn the handle on the front door and come in coughing. Think of the sound of your heels clicking on the floor as torture. We discussed what we wanted to eat, then at 7.18 p.m., you rummaged in the drawer for a long time, looking for the right saucepan. Did you have to spend so much time on it? To make so much noise? Then you sat down on the sofa and started typing on your laptop, breathing so hard I could have strangled you. At 7.42pm, we sat down to dinner and you started chewing and swallowing with the delicacy of a troll breaking a two-day fast. I felt my hand tighten around the handle of my fork. How can someone as beautiful and refined as you stuff your face so noisily? At 8:12 p.m., you decided to have another shower. Why the hell do you keep torturing me? At least stop humming that stupid ditty! It's now 8.30 p.m. You've just come out of the bathroom and are changing in the bedroom. Just like this morning, I can hear the drops of water crashing to the bottom of the shower tray, making me feel like I'm about to explode.
My dear wife, I want you to know that I hate you more and more every day, from the moment you get up to go to work. Your morning alarm wakes me up and it bothers me. Not because I'm roused from sleep, but because of everything you do afterwards. All the strange, stupid things that make me hate you more and more every day. Don't take it personally, though: I hate them all. Our neighbors, friends, colleagues, not to mention all those anonymous people out there. They're so noisy they're despicable. If you knew the number of times I've felt like sawing your brakes, as you drive by with your polluting horrors. The accident would have been inevitable and the emergency services would have been helpless: I would have sabotaged their unbearable sirens, so they wouldn't have been able to arrive in time. You would then have died in excruciating agony.
You, my colleague sitting opposite me, yes, you who laughed stupidly while cutting and stapling I don't know what documents, if you only knew how much I wanted to take the scissors out of your hands. I'd have used them to slit you open and staple your guts raw. Then your unbearable sounds would have stopped and you would have died in excruciating pain.
You, the kid who was noisily chewing your Mentos at the bus stop, if you only knew how much I wished I'd had a bottle of Coke right then and there. I'd have forced the whole candy packet down your throat, then emptied a liter and a half of soda in your mouth. Just to get you over the urge to start emitting those sickening ruminations again. With any luck, your stomach would have exploded under the pressure of the gas, and you would have died in excruciating agony. It would have been such a firework display inside!
As for you, my beautiful wife, I want you to know that you unleashed one anger too many. You shouldn't have bitten your nails and the little skins around them. You know it's one of those things that saws my nerves, but you've never wanted to admit my hatred of sound and movement, minimizing the evil that never leaves me. Since you like it so much, I'll spare you the effort. This morning, I sharpened my knives. Usually, that repetitive noise is enough to fill me with hatred. Today, however, it soothed me, because as I listened to it, I thought about what I was going to do. Soon, you'll be skinned in your entirety like a farm rabbit, and then you'll die in excruciating agony. Don't imagine that I'm doing this out of the goodness of my heart. Life for people suffering from misophonia is hell, and there are certain noises we can't stand. And believe me, there are so many of them that revolt me that I know they'll kill me in the end. That'll be a relief, because right now, I'm living... in excruciating agony.
