I assume that some of the posts we have here are from real people and not from kgb/gubop/gru trolls asking, "Why don't belarusians like lukashenko?"
Guys, for those who haven't noticed: This is an opposition sub. The logo of the sub combines ukrainian and belarusian national + opposition symbols, and the average belarusian user here hates the regimes of luka and putin. The problem is that many foreigners try to push their views (often right or left radical bs from yt, facebook/x which does not correlate with Belarus in any way), and this behavior angers many who have suffered under luka's goons. What I mean is, "You can have as many thoughts about our country as you want, but please don't act like you know Belarus better than we do." Belarusians know how to use the internet and speak English; we can compare life in our country with the West and draw our own conclusions.
I don’t want to create an echo chamber, but please think and read before you post here; your words could harm people.
I hope you'll have a good time here.

TLDR; 20 years of some kind of magnetic pull to this man, can't decide if it's fate, some kind of divine connection or if I'm deluded.
First post. Nervous. Really cannot figure out if this is a TF journey, something I have only in the last few years started to research or if I am actually losing my mind.
I met this man when I was 14 years old. I'm now 36. We became best friends at 14, he was a big part of my life for about 2 years, he really looked out for me and helped me through some difficult times, we kissed a few times around age 16 but it never became any deeper than that. Life happened and we lost contact for a few years. He reappeared in my life 5 years later, we reminisced and spoke of how much (mostly platonic) love we have for each other, planned to meet up/catch up then he ghosted. 5 years later (give or take a couple of months) he was back again. We met up, he was so nervous he was shaking and stumbling over his words and I couldn't understand why he felt like this as we had known each other such a long time, I felt completely comfortable in his company, but he told me he had always had feelings for me but was worried I would reject him and he didn't know how to act on those feelings. We very quickly found ourselves in an all consuming relationship.
It only lasted around a year, we had the highest highs where I unexpectedly felt like I had finally found what had been missing from my life the whole time. I am not the most forthcoming in relationships due to fear of abandonment, trust issues, etc. So he did a lot of coaxing. He was very full on, pushing for us to be together, gushing to family and friends about our relationship very early on, wanting to spend all of our time together, becoming quite upset when I wasn't 'all in' straight away. Constantly needing reassurance, very clingy and needy, talking about marriage and children (we both already have children with other people) how he wished we had gotten together properly all those years ago, he wishes I was the mother of his children, how much he admired me etc. I tried to always be completely honest about how I was feeling, that I was enjoying our relationship, but was worried about jumping in too quickly. But after a few months of him basically worshipping the ground I walked on, I started to let my guard down, I already loved him very much as a friend, valued our relationship, appreciated him and all that he had done for me and I did fantasise that one day we would be together.
Around the 6 month mark, and after more coaxing from him, I really opened up to him and told him I loved him, and that I could really see this working out. He seemed to be elated. He pushed to meet my children, wanted us to move in together, although I said I wasn't ready for that yet, but he wouldn't let it go. He met my children and was wonderful to them. He did spend a lot of time at our home but did not fully move in. But it seemed that the more I came around to the idea of this working out, the more I opened up and fell in love, the more distant he got. He started going out a lot, not showing up when he said he would, going awol for a day or two at a time, saying he had been with friends. Arranging dates with me, but never showing up on time, sometimes not calling until 11 at night, drunk, asking to come to my home.
As I said I have a fear of abandonment, my way of coping with that at the time, was to never show any vulnerability. No matter how I felt about the person, I would act indifferent. If he didn't show up at 7pm like he had arranged I wouldn't call or text him, he was where he wanted to be, and I wouldn't embarrass myself by begging him to be with me. I also wouldn't allow him to turn up drunk in the middle of the night and treat me like a booty call. We started to argue, I told him I felt disrespected, he would make promises to never treat me that way again, but then do it anyway. By this point I was in deep. I really couldn't believe I had allowed myself to open up and fall in love just for it to be like this.
Eventually he admitted he had a problem with cocaine. That the late nights, and not turning up, not being able to drag himself away from nights our, parties, friends houses was because he was a drug addict. I offered him help, he said he wanted it. He got sober, he went back to being the sweetheart that I had always known. He took a job working offshore, partly for the money, but mostly to help keep him sober. In the run up to his first trip away he was so positive, so loving and reassuring. The weekend before he left was the best weekend of my life. I have never felt so in love, so connected to another person, that weekend I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. He said he felt the same.
The few weeks he was away we called and facetimed and text every chance that he got. He said he couldnt wait to be back, I told him how much I missed him, we made plans for when he was home, it would be bonfire night, he sent me money to buy fireworks for him to set off for the kids, he asked me to pick him up ingredients for his favourite dinner, snacks and drinks that he likes, he was due back around 7pm on the Friday night. He called around 5 to tell me he was two hours away, to start dinner, that he couldn't wait to see me. He never turned up. I tried to call him at 9pm - no answer. I sent a text. Unread. I was frantic. I called and text him so many times. Eventually all my texts were opened at once. Was it him? The police? Paramedics looking for next of kin information? Then I remembered he would have his Snapchat location on, he was at his friends house. The friend he would usually be with when he disappeared for days on booze and cocaine binges. I blocked him there and then. He could still have contacted me on the landline phone or show up at the house but he never did.
I didn't see or hear from him for 4 years and 8 months. Almost the 5 year mark again. I bumped into him in the street. He was with a mutual friend so I was polite, I didn't want the mutual friend to feel awkward. We exchanged pleasantries and went our separate ways. I just had this feeling that I would hear from him that night. And I did. Around midnight. I had a message request from him on Facebook. Hey it was so good to see you today. I hope you're well. I miss you. - I felt sick, I was shaking, my heart was pounding, my chest felt so heavy. Almost like a panic attack. Maybe it was just because it was confirmation of that feeling I had had all day that I would hear from him that night. I don't know why, but even though I wanted to continue the conversation, to call him, to invite him to meet, I just replied yea you too, take care. I sent it. I regretted it. Why did I brush him off like that when I knew that I didn't want to? He just replied yea take care, speak soon..
But we didn't speak soon. It would be another (almost) 5 years before we spoke again. In that 5 years the thought of him never once left my mind. I think about him every single day. I miss him. I have this overwhelming yearning feeling, my chest aches, my heart feels sore, I feel like part of me is missing. I look him up on social media, but his profiles are locked down, I can't see anything. I have an overwhelming urge to reach out to him, to ask mutual friends about him, but that fear of rejection, or abandonment kicks in and I stop myself. I've had flings and short lived, non-serious relationships in between each of our periods of contact but I feel completely indifferent towards them, comparing them to him, knowing I will never love them the way I loved him. It starts to consume my every thought. Is this some weird soulmate thing? Are we supposed to be together? Why does he come back into life every 5 years. Why do I feel this weird magnetic pull to him, why does my normal self-preservation indifference towards relationship breakdowns not work when it comes to him. Why do I feel physically sore when I think about him. I've never felt that for any relationship before. Is it just that there was no closure? Is this just how it feels to be ghosted? I start to research why I can't get over this, I read about twin flames.
This must be what it is? This feeling is not normal. It's not just heartbreak. Yes heartbreak sucks, you feel sad and disappointed and sometimes you feel like you failed somewhere but this is different. It's a physical pain. It feels like he is haunting me. Like his energy is still here, around me, in my home, I see and hear signs and synchronisities everywhere. Are we communicating telepathically? No I am clearly losing my damn mind.
I throw myself into my kids, my work, my friendships, my hobbies, everything to distract myself. But he is always there, in my mind. Some days it's just a few fleeting thoughts throughout the day, some days are unbearable. Some days I have the strongest feelings that I will hear from him that day. I don't.
But last month, I got a friend request on Facebook. Out of nowhere. I felt like my heart literally stopped when I seen it. I hadn't had the feeling, no warning signs that I would hear from him. So unexpected. I accepted his request, he messaged, we chit-chatted, small talk, catching up. He's still working offshore, he's away right now, I have dinner plans that night but we say we will call afterwards to chat properly. He calls that night, tells me he misses me so much, that he thinks about me a lot, that he regrets how things ended, that he is home the following week and he would really love to meet up. I say OK sounds good, let me know when you're free. Ghosted. I don't hear from him the following week. I don't hear from him for 5 weeks.
This week he messages me, asks if he can call me. He calls, tells me he's offshore again, that he lost his job but has just this week started a new one, same line of work. Tells me his life has fallen apart in the past 5 weeks, lost his job, had "sorted his shit out", that things had been messy, he's fallen out with his mum, fallen out with friends, had to sell his car... He didn't want to contact me and "drag me in to his shit".. But can we please meet up in two weeks when he is home so we can talk, he has so much he wants to say to me, I say OK. We text a bit over the past couple of days, nothing heavy, general chit chat. He called last night, more chit chat. All very light. Nothing too personal. We just had a catch up, we laughed so much. He said he had missed my laugh, missed me, missed our friendship that he really wants to see me when he's home, to speak to me properly about everything. He says he'll call tomorrow (today) we say goodnight. Not 1 single text or call today. Ghosted. Why is this happening. I had wanted to question the previous ghosting but decided to wait until we spoke in person. I didn't want to have heavy discussions over the phone. I also want to look him in the eye when he tells me, to better gauge how truthful he is being..
When we were texting and calling the last few days, he did mention a few times how he thought I wouldn't reply to his text, thought I wouldn't answer his calls but he's so glad I did. I can't work him out at all. I have never felt so confused, hurt, abandoned, used, ever in my life.
Is this a TF? Is this a narcissist? Friends have said so but I can't see it, I'm definitely not blind to these things, I'm usually very shrewd and can spot a liar a mile off. I've had a good few serious relationships, I'm not naive. I don't believe so anyway. I've never told my friends the true extent of my feelings for him and this relentless bee I have in my bonnet over him. But a small few do know that he gets under my skin, they are shocked by it, because as I said I am usually so indifferent about breakups because of my own issues. Is this breadcrumbing? Love bombing? I have never been so confused in my life. I'm usually quite intuitive, but this one has really thrown me off. I don't feel like I can trust my own opinion on this. I feel like I'm batshit crazy. I have crazy thoughts about paying for a fortune teller, a medium, a palmreader, anything to help confirm or deny these crazy thoughts I'm having. Sometimes I really do believe I am telepathically communicating with him... Then I think I might need to see a doctor. Sometimes I'm convinced I'm seeing signs and synchronisities everywhere, then I think I am subconsciously looking for these things because I want it to be true and I'm actually just creepily obsessed with this man and probably need some kind of injunction taken out on me. Genuinely cannot work out if this is some divine connection or if I am utterly deluded.

In the video, it was made with 2D animation similar to anime style, probably using the popular animation application of that time, Adobe Flash. As far as I remember, there were no voice dialogues; characters were speaking through text, but I'm not sure, maybe I just don't remember the voice dialogues. It mostly took place in a school and had a large cast of characters. There was a girl who looked like a boy skating.
Male and female characters had different symbols according to their genders; if I'm not mistaken, one of these symbols was a bee.
I think I watched the video on YouTube in the early 2010s, but it might have been uploaded to other platforms, especially Newgrounds. Or it could have been uploaded even between 2006 and 2010.
The video was probably in English.
I remember a joke from one of the videos. In one of the episodes, when two male characters were fighting, a chase scene started. The escaping character disguised himself as men urinating in a urinal. When the other character passed by, he turned to the camera and jokingly censored the character's genital area with a large banana. At that moment, the running character fell down, causing the other character to fall down too. They both fell naked on top of each other, and the people around them looked at them strangely.
If you think there's a series that doesn't quite match what I described, please share it; I might be mistaken.

There is a Moroccan girl I met on Facebook, and we later discovered that she is a skilled manipulator And she disappeared she defrauded hundreds of my friends
Months later, a girl came to take revenge on me She posted 4 posts, and there were 16 accounts supporting her photos, with comments and likes. These are accounts studying at Harvard from an elite class

She is from the same city, Montreal, Canada and she from Moroccan also where the first girl resides, and they have a friendly relationship before the first scam my frind this 2 account and found that these accounts had only one photo and 40 like pages And an empty profile, and I entered the password request to reveal the email and found that these emails contain a specific letter and symbol, the letter N and the number 2. I don't want to say this to my friends because it seems like paranoia witout prof but I want kick down this stanic girl . I searched for those pictures in those accounts on Google and did not find anything... This is a professional manipulator. There is a network behind her. I want to expose her. Is there any way?

Desert plants are remarkable for their ability to thrive in some of the harshest environments on Earth. These resilient species have evolved a range of unique adaptations that enable them to conserve water, withstand extreme temperatures, and grow in nutrient-poor soils. From the towering Saguaro cactus to the iconic Joshua Tree, each plant has developed its own survival strategies that are as fascinating as they are effective. The Prickly Pear cactus stores water in its pads, while the Barrel cactus expands and contracts to manage its moisture content. The deep roots of the Palo Verde tree tap into underground water sources, and the Hopbush and Creosote Bush use resinous coatings to minimize water loss. Additionally, plants like the Spanish Bayonet and Harvard Agave not only survive but also play significant roles in their ecosystems, providing food, shelter, and even medicinal benefits. The enduring presence of these plants, some of which have lifespans extending over thousands of years, underscores their incredible adaptability and the intricate balance of desert ecosystems.
The Prickly Pear cactus (Opuntia spp.) is a resilient desert plant known for its flat, paddle-like pads and colorful fruits. Adapted to arid environments, it conserves water with a thick, waxy cuticle that reduces evaporation and pads that store significant amounts of water. Its spines not only protect it from herbivores but also provide shade, further minimizing water loss.
Prickly Pear cacti can live for several decades, with some species known to survive over 20 years. They can grow between 3 to 16 feet tall, depending on the species. These cacti propagate easily through seeds and vegetative reproduction, where detached pads root and form new plants.
The Prickly Pear is its cultural significance in Mexico, where it has been a staple in traditional cuisine and medicine for centuries. The pads, called "nopales," and the fruits, known as "tunas," are both edible and nutrient-rich. Additionally, the cochineal insect, which feeds on the cactus, produces a red dye historically important to the Aztecs and still used today in various industries.
The Barrel cactus (Ferocactus spp.) is a distinctive and hardy plant commonly found in the deserts of the southwestern United States and Mexico. Its cylindrical shape and ribbed surface are perfectly adapted to conserve water. The ribs enable the cactus to expand and contract depending on its water content, while a thick, waxy skin reduces water loss through evaporation. The shallow yet widespread root system is adept at quickly absorbing water from brief desert rains.
Barrel cacti can live for 50 to 100 years and typically grow to heights of 3 to 10 feet, though some can reach up to 12 feet tall. These cacti are slow-growing, often taking many years to achieve their full size. They are known for their large, brightly colored flowers, which bloom in summer and attract various pollinators.
The Barrel cactus is its traditional use by Native Americans as a water source in emergencies. Known as the "compass cactus," it often leans towards the south, which can help lost travelers orient themselves. This unique characteristic, combined with its water-storing ability, underscores the Barrel cactus's remarkable adaptation to its harsh desert environment.
The Black-spined Agave (Agave macroacantha) is a striking succulent native to the arid regions of Mexico, particularly Oaxaca and Puebla. Known for its rosette of thick, blue-gray leaves tipped with distinctive black spines, this agave is well-adapted to survive in harsh desert conditions. Its leaves store water efficiently, while their tough, waxy surface minimizes water loss through evaporation. The black spines not only deter herbivores but also help shade the plant, reducing the temperature of the leaf surfaces.
This agave species typically lives for about 10 to 30 years. It grows slowly, reaching a mature size of about 1 to 2 feet in height and 2 to 3 feet in diameter. The Black-spined Agave flowers only once in its lifetime, producing a tall stalk with yellow flowers, after which the plant dies, a characteristic known as monocarpic. However, it often produces numerous offsets or "pups" around its base, ensuring its propagation and survival.
The Black-spined Agave is its historical and cultural importance in Mexico. Its fibers have been traditionally used for making ropes, mats, and textiles. Additionally, certain agave species are essential in producing tequila and mezcal, although Agave macroacantha is not typically used for this purpose. The plant's striking appearance also makes it a popular choice in xeriscaping, which is a landscaping method designed for dry environments to conserve water.
The Harvard Agave (Agave havardiana) is a robust and resilient succulent native to the Chihuahuan Desert, particularly found in West Texas and northern Mexico. Its blue-green leaves form a dense rosette, and each leaf is edged with sharp, dark spines that provide protection from herbivores. The leaves' thick, waxy coating helps to minimize water loss, enabling the plant to thrive in arid conditions with minimal rainfall.
This agave species can live for several decades, typically reaching a height of 2 to 3 feet and a similar spread. Like many agaves, the Harvard Agave is monocarpic, meaning it flowers once at the end of its life. When it blooms, it sends up a tall flower stalk that can reach up to 15 feet, adorned with clusters of yellow flowers. After flowering and setting seed, the main plant dies, but it often produces numerous offsets or "pups" that continue to grow and propagate the species.
The Harvard Agave is its ecological role and historical usage. The plant provides a crucial source of nectar for pollinators, such as bats, birds, and insects, during its blooming period. Historically, Native American tribes utilized various parts of the agave for food, fiber, and medicinal purposes. The strong fibers from the leaves were used to make ropes, mats, and baskets, showcasing the plant's versatility and importance in desert survival and culture.
The Joshua Tree (Yucca brevifolia) is an iconic plant of the Mojave Desert, known for its unique, twisted branches and spiky leaves. This unusual tree is actually a member of the yucca family and thrives in the desert's harsh conditions. Its deep root system can extend up to 36 feet to tap into underground water sources, while its leaves, which are tough and narrow, minimize water loss through evaporation. The Joshua Tree's ability to store water in its trunk and branches also helps it survive prolonged drought periods.
Joshua Trees have impressive lifespans, often living for hundreds of years, with some estimated to be over 1,000 years old. They can grow up to 40 feet tall, though they typically reach heights of 15 to 30 feet. These trees grow slowly, averaging just 1 to 3 inches per year. Their distinctive shape is a result of their growth pattern, where new branches form after the plant blooms.
A fascinating and unique fact about the Joshua Tree is its symbiotic relationship with the Yucca moth. The tree relies on this moth for pollination; in turn, the moth lays its eggs in the tree's flowers. The larvae feed on some of the developing seeds, ensuring the propagation of both species. This mutualistic relationship is crucial for the survival of the Joshua Tree, demonstrating a remarkable example of coevolution. The Joshua Tree also holds cultural significance, symbolizing resilience and endurance in the face of adversity, and has become a celebrated symbol of the American Southwest.
The Spanish Bayonet (Yucca aloifolia) is a striking and hardy plant native to the southeastern United States and parts of the Caribbean. Known for its dramatic rosette of sharp, sword-like leaves, the Spanish Bayonet is well-adapted to coastal and arid environments. The thick, leathery leaves reduce water loss through evaporation, while the plant's extensive root system allows it to access deep moisture and anchor itself in sandy or rocky soils.
This yucca species typically lives for several decades and can grow to a height of 10 to 15 feet. The Spanish Bayonet produces clusters of white, bell-shaped flowers on tall spikes, which can reach up to 3 feet in length. These flowers bloom in late spring to early summer and attract a variety of pollinators. After flowering, the plant may produce offsets or "pups" at its base, allowing it to propagate and form clumps.
Spanish Bayonet is its traditional use by indigenous peoples and early settlers. The fibrous leaves were utilized to make ropes, mats, and baskets, demonstrating the plant's versatility and importance in daily life. Additionally, the flowers and young flower stalks are edible and were often consumed as a food source. The Spanish Bayonet is also popular in landscaping due to its striking appearance and low maintenance requirements, providing both aesthetic and functional value in gardens designed to conserve water.
The Palo Verde tree (Parkinsonia spp.) is a remarkable and resilient tree native to the deserts of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Its name, which means "green stick" in Spanish, comes from its distinctive green bark, which is capable of photosynthesis. This adaptation allows the tree to continue producing energy even when it sheds its small, delicate leaves during periods of drought to conserve water. The Palo Verde's extensive root system, which can reach deep underground water sources, further enhances its drought tolerance.
Palo Verde trees typically live for 60 to 100 years and can grow up to 20 to 30 feet tall. They are fast-growing and often serve as nurse plants, providing shade and protection for seedlings of other species. In spring, these trees produce a stunning display of bright yellow flowers that attract various pollinators, including bees and butterflies. The flowers develop into seed pods, which are an important food source for desert wildlife.
Palo Verde tree is its ecological importance in desert environments. It plays a critical role in providing habitat and food for numerous animals, including birds, insects, and small mammals. Additionally, the tree has cultural significance for indigenous peoples, who have used its seeds for food and its wood for tools and construction. The Palo Verde is also valued in landscaping for its beauty and low water requirements, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping and sustainable garden designs.
The Mesquite tree (Prosopis spp.) is a resilient and iconic plant of the arid regions of the southwestern United States and Mexico. Known for its feathery leaves and thorny branches, the Mesquite is exceptionally well-adapted to desert environments. One of its key adaptations is its deep root system, which can extend more than 100 feet underground to access deep water tables, allowing it to survive prolonged periods of drought. Additionally, its small, compound leaves reduce water loss through evaporation, making it highly efficient in conserving moisture.
Mesquite trees typically live for several decades, with some reaching up to 200 years old. They can grow up to 20 to 30 feet tall, though in harsher conditions, they may remain much smaller. Mesquites are also known for their nitrogen-fixing ability, which improves soil fertility by converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use. In the spring and early summer, these trees produce fragrant, yellowish flowers that develop into long, slender seed pods, which are a vital food source for wildlife and livestock.
A fascinating and unique fact about the Mesquite tree is its historical and cultural significance. Indigenous peoples and early settlers utilized various parts of the tree for food, medicine, and materials. The sweet, nutritious pods were ground into flour, while the wood, known for its hardness and rich, reddish color, was used for tools, furniture, and fuel. Mesquite wood is still prized today for grilling and smoking meats, imparting a distinctive flavor. Additionally, the tree's ability to thrive in poor soils and harsh conditions makes it an important species for erosion control and land reclamation in desertified areas.
The Hopbush (Dodonaea viscosa) is a versatile and hardy shrub found in diverse regions, including the southwestern United States, Central and South America, Africa, and Australia. This evergreen shrub is well-adapted to various environments, from coastal areas to arid deserts. It features narrow, lance-shaped leaves that are often sticky to the touch due to a resinous coating, which helps reduce water loss through evaporation. The Hopbush can thrive in poor soils and withstands drought conditions, making it a resilient component of its native ecosystems.
Hopbush shrubs typically grow to heights of 6 to 10 feet, though they can sometimes reach up to 15 feet under optimal conditions. The plant is known for its attractive, winged seed capsules, which turn from green to shades of pink, red, or brown as they mature, adding ornamental value. These shrubs flower in the spring and summer, producing small, inconspicuous yellow-green flowers that attract various pollinators.
The Hopbush is its traditional medicinal uses by indigenous cultures. The leaves, bark, and seeds have been used to treat ailments such as fever, inflammation, and digestive issues. Additionally, the tough, flexible wood of the Hopbush was historically used for making tools, weapons, and even musical instruments. Today, the Hopbush is valued in landscaping for its drought tolerance, ability to stabilize soils, and capacity to serve as a windbreak, making it a practical and aesthetically pleasing choice for sustainable gardens and restoration projects.
The Creosote Bush (Larrea tridentata) is a quintessential plant of the desert regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Known for its small, dark green leaves and distinctive, pungent aroma, the Creosote Bush is exceptionally well-adapted to survive in harsh, arid environments. Its leaves are coated with a resinous substance that reduces water loss through evaporation and protects against herbivores. The plant also has a deep and extensive root system that allows it to access scarce groundwater and thrive in the nutrient-poor soils of the desert.
Creosote Bushes can live for incredibly long periods, with individual plants often reaching over a hundred years old. In some cases, clonal colonies of Creosote Bushes, known as "King Clone," have been estimated to be nearly 11,700 years old, making them some of the oldest living organisms on Earth. The bushes typically grow to about 3 to 10 feet in height, depending on the environmental conditions. During the spring and summer, they produce small, yellow flowers followed by fuzzy, white seed capsules.
Creosote Bush is its ecological and medicinal significance. The plant plays a crucial role in desert ecosystems by providing habitat and food for various insects, birds, and small mammals. Traditionally, Native American tribes utilized the Creosote Bush for its medicinal properties, using its leaves and stems to treat a range of ailments, including colds, sore throats, and wounds. The resinous coating was also used as a natural antiseptic. The Creosote Bush's remarkable adaptations and longevity make it a symbol of endurance and resilience in one of the planet's most challenging environments.

When I decided I was done with the church a year ago I had big plans for tattoos (I got one before I converted so I’m somewhat familiar). But I’m thinking I want to start small and just do something simple to represent my children. I was thinking a fine line of bear cubs (I do not have the big Mormon family). But I’m curious what others have done. I had considered birth flowers to cover up my old tattoo, but I’m not sure I want to do that, or go that big as I was told it would have to be 2x the size of what I have. Anyways, give me some more ideas. I’ve also briefly thought about bees as that would also symbolize my maternal grandparents, but I have other ideas for those family members. I’ve also thought about intertwined hearts with their birthdates.

Hey guys,
I‘ve bought an Ultra Bee from Alibaba (Changzhou Double Spring Machinery). Everything went fine so far. The support was good and they helped me with all my questions. It was delivered a few days ago and I‘m totally happy with it. It also has a VIN number on the headtube and a type plate with the model number and a CE symbol.
The only problem I have now is how is it possible to register it? I got no papers and also no CoC document.
Does anyone have experiences with this? What is the best way to go forward now?
I thought about getting the CoC document from another Ultra Bee somehow and change the VIN number in it. Don‘t know how legal this would be.
Another way would be to do an individual registration. But of course this would be connected to higher costs as Tüv or Dekra have to do many tests in this case and I also would need a proof of the paid tax and a customs receipt (which I also don‘t have)
It would be great if someone has a suggestion for me.

UFC and Aires Tech Announce Multi-Year Global Marketing Partnership
Las Vegas, Nevada--(Newsfile Corp. - May 30, 2024) - UFC®, the world's premier mixed martial arts organization, and American Aires Inc. (CSE: WIFI) (OTCQB: AAIRF) (Aires Tech or Aires), a pioneer in cutting-edge technology designed to protect against electromagnetic radiation and optimize human health, today announced a new global marketing partnership that will showcase Aires Tech branding within UFC's biggest events.
A first-time Official Partner of UFC, Aires Tech will receive prominent placement within the broadcasts of all UFC's monthly Pay Per Views, recognized throughout the sport as the biggest events in mixed martial arts, providing Aires Tech with meaningful visibility before more than 700 million fans in 170 countries, as well as in an estimated 975 million households that receive UFC's broadcasts.
Aires Tech is dedicated to bridging the gap between technology and wellness. Aires Tech's mission is to provide cutting-edge solutions that protect against electromagnetic radiation without disrupting everyday use of technology. Aires Tech products stand out in the EMF protection market, characterized by their scientific ingenuity and practical application.
"We're thrilled to welcome Aires Tech as an official UFC partner," said Grant Norris-Jones, Head of Global Partnerships at TKO. "Aires aligns well with our brand in several respects, including their focus on innovation and being a first mover in their industry. Their emphasis on technology to promote health and wellness is a message we're proud to support and share with our athletes and fans around the world."
American Aires CEO, Josh Bruni, commented: "I am delighted to announce this transformative partnership with UFC, an organization renowned for its innovative approach and commitment to excellence in sports entertainment. UFC's vision of pushing boundaries and achieving peak performance aligns perfectly with Aires' mission to offer cutting-edge EMF neutralizing and Bio-Frequency Modulation technology that both protects and enhances health and wellness. Partnering with UFC allows us to align with a global entity that shares our dedication to excellence and innovation. This collaboration not only amplifies our global reach but also connects us with UFC's dedicated audience, who value peak performance and personal well-being.
"This significant deal underscores our strategic partnership with WME to build Aires into a household brand. UFC, known as a disruptor in major sports, has seen rapid and ongoing growth. With 40% of its following being millennials, this demographic aligns closely with Aires' target consumers. UFC's performance-focused fans, who are keen on personal health optimization, find a natural fit with our Bio-Frequency Modulation technology.
"Moreover, this partnership matches Aires' regional strongholds in the United States, Canada, the UK, Germany, and Australia. With UFC's growing global viewership, this collaboration allows us to expand our presence internationally. Together, we aim to empower individuals by combining UFC's dynamic, performance-driven ethos with Aires' commitment to safeguarding and enhancing health in an increasingly connected world, marking a significant step in our journey to become a global leader."
The agreement was negotiated by WME Sports as part of its wide-ranging partnership with Aires Tech to guide the company's brand strategy across sports and entertainment.
Additional Aires Branded Integrations
In addition to Pay Per View broadcasts, Aires Tech will also be integrated into the pivotal UFC Live Weigh-In Show, UFC's studio show shot on location during the Official Weigh-Ins of Pay Per View events and live streamed on YouTube to a global audience of more than 18 million followers. The show, which features live commentary, athlete interviews, and special guest appearances, captures the crucial moments when fighters step on the official scale to record their weight for their scheduled bout. Aires Tech will be highlighted within a custom segment entitled "Defensive Strategies," in which the hosts will analyze the defensive tactics certain UFC athletes must implement to secure wins in their respective bouts.
UFC and Aires Tech will also collaborate on original content that will be distributed through UFC's popular digital and social channels, which reach approximately 260 million users worldwide. Other creative integrations will focus on leveraging fan engagement and driving Aires Tech brand awareness through a variety of activations that may include in-arena promotions, viewer sweepstakes, and a significant on-site presence at select UFC Fan Experiences, including the biggest of the year, UFC X in Las Vegas during International Fight Week.
This partnership with UFC builds on Aires Tech support for world-class athletes who want to safeguard themselves from excessive electromagnetic radiation (EMR). Earlier this year, Aires Tech partnered with UFC Women's Flyweight Maycee "The Future" Barber to help spread the word about this increasingly crucial area of human health and her experience with Aires Tech products, which according to Barber, not only improved her physical well-being but also positively affected her mood.
Aires Tech will activate the partnership for the first time at UFC® 302: MAKHACHEV vs. POIRIER, which takes place this Saturday, June 1, at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The event will feature a stellar card, headlined by UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev defend his title against No. 4 ranked contender Dustin Poirier. Also, an action packed five-round co-main event sees No. 1 middleweight contender Sean Strickland square off with No. 7 ranked Paulo Costa.

The Profound Importance of Rituals in Spiritual Awakening
Rituals have long played a pivotal role in human civilization, serving as sacred ceremonies that connect individuals to the deeper rhythms of existence and facilitate spiritual awakening. While rituals may seem mysterious or unnecessary to the uninitiated, they hold profound significance in the realm of spiritual practice, acting as gateways to deeper understanding, heightened awareness, and profound transformation.
Impression on the Intellect
One of the key roles of rituals in spiritual awakening is their ability to make a lasting impression on the intellect. Unlike mere words or abstract concepts, rituals engage the senses and evoke visceral experiences that resonate deeply within the psyche. Through symbolic gestures, chants, and ceremonial acts, individuals are able to internalize spiritual truths and concepts in a way that transcends rational understanding, leading to profound insights and revelations.
Experiential Learning
Rituals provide a unique opportunity for experiential learning, allowing individuals to directly experience and feel what words alone cannot convey. By engaging in ritualistic practices, participants tap into the realm of direct experience, bypassing the limitations of the rational mind and accessing deeper layers of consciousness. This experiential dimension of rituals facilitates spiritual growth and transformation, enabling individuals to integrate spiritual insights into their daily lives.
Enhanced Concentration
Another important role of rituals in spiritual awakening is their ability to enhance concentration and focus. By immersing oneself fully in the ritualistic process, individuals are able to bring their total selves to the achievement of a task, cultivating a state of deep presence and mindfulness. This heightened state of awareness allows practitioners to access deeper levels of consciousness and connect with the divine essence within themselves and the universe.
Conscious Living
In addition to their transformative power, rituals serve as reminders of the sacredness inherent in everyday life. While daily routines may seem mundane, they are in fact filled with various rituals— from morning routines to mealtime traditions—that shape our experiences and perceptions. By practicing rituals consciously, individuals are able to infuse their daily lives with meaning and purpose, leading to a deeper sense of fulfillment and connection to the divine. #rituals #SacredAtlanteanBrotherhood

(Barry drives through the hive,and is waved at by Adam who is reading a newspaper) BARRY== - Hey, Adam. ADAM: - Hey, Barry. (Adam gets in Barry's car) : - Is that fuzz gel? BARRY: - A little. Special day, graduation. ADAM: Never thought I'd make it. (Barry pulls away from the house and continues driving) BARRY: Three days grade school, three days high school... ADAM: Those were awkward. BARRY: Three days college. I'm glad I took a day and hitchhiked around the hive. ADAM== You did come back different. (Barry and Adam pass by Artie, who is jogging) ARTIE: - Hi, Barry!
BARRY: - Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good. ADAM: - Hear about Frankie? BARRY: - Yeah. ADAM== - You going to the funeral? BARRY: - No, I'm not going to his funeral. : Everybody knows, sting someone, you die. : Don't waste it on a squirrel. Such a hothead. ADAM: I guess he could have just gotten out of the way. (The car does a barrel roll on the loop-shaped bridge and lands on the highway) : I love this incorporating an amusement park into our regular day. BARRY: I guess that's why they say we don't need vacations. (Barry parallel parks the car and together they fly over the graduating students) Boy, quite a bit of pomp... under the circumstances. (Barry and Adam sit down and put on their hats) : - Well, Adam, today we are men.
ADAM: - We are! BARRY= - Bee-men. =ADAM= - Amen! BARRY AND ADAM: Hallelujah! (Barry and Adam both have a happy spasm) ANNOUNCER: Students, faculty, distinguished bees, : please welcome Dean Buzzwell. DEAN BUZZWELL: Welcome, New Hive Oity graduating class of... : ...9: : That concludes our ceremonies. : And begins your career at Honex Industries! ADAM: Will we pick our job today? (Adam and Barry get into a tour bus) BARRY= I heard it's just orientation. (Tour buses rise out of the ground and the students are automatically loaded into the buses) TOUR GUIDE: Heads up! Here we go.
ANNOUNCER: Keep your hands and antennas inside the tram at all times. BARRY: - Wonder what it'll be like? ADAM: - A little scary. TOUR GUIDE== Welcome to Honex, a division of Honesco : and a part of the Hexagon Group. Barry: This is it! BARRY AND ADAM: Wow. BARRY: Wow. (The bus drives down a road an on either side are the Bee's massive complicated Honey-making machines) TOUR GUIDE: We know that you, as a bee, have worked your whole life : to get to the point where you can work for your whole life. : Honey begins when our valiant Pollen Jocks bring the nectar to the hive. : Our top-secret formula : is automatically color-corrected,
scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured : into this soothing sweet syrup : with its distinctive golden glow you know as... EVERYONE ON BUS: Honey! (The guide has been collecting honey into a bottle and she throws it into the crowd on the bus and it is caught by a girl in the back) ADAM: - That girl was hot. BARRY: - She's my cousin! ADAM== - She is? BARRY: - Yes, we're all cousins. ADAM: - Right. You're right. TOUR GUIDE: - At Honex, we constantly strive : to improve every aspect of bee existence. : These bees are stress-testing a new helmet technology. (The bus passes by a Bee wearing a helmet who is being smashed into the ground with fly-swatters, newspapers and boots. He lifts a thumbs up but you can hear him groan) : ADAM==

• What do you think he makes? BARRY:
• Not enough. TOUR GUIDE: Here we have our latest advancement, the Krelman. (They pass by a turning wheel with Bees standing on pegs, who are each wearing a finger-shaped hat) Barry:
• Wow, What does that do? TOUR GUIDE:
• Catches that little strand of honey : that hangs after you pour it. Saves us millions. ADAM: (Intrigued) Can anyone work on the Krelman? TOUR GUIDE: Of course. Most bee jobs are small ones. But bees know that every small job, if it's done well, means a lot. : But choose carefully : because you'll stay in the job you pick for the rest of your life. (Everyone claps except for Barry) BARRY: The same job the rest of your life? I didn't know that. ADAM:

What's the difference? TOUR GUIDE: You'll be happy to know that bees, as a species, haven't had one day off : in 27 million years. BARRY: (Upset) So you'll just work us to death? : We'll sure try. (Everyone on the bus laughs except Barry. Barry and Adam are walking back home together) ADAM: Wow! That blew my mind! BARRY: "What's the difference?" How can you say that? : One job forever? That's an insane choice to have to make. ADAM: I'm relieved. Now we only have to make one decision in life. BARRY: But, Adam, how could they never have told us that? ADAM: Why would you question anything? We're bees. : We're the most perfectly functioning society on Earth.
BARRY: You ever think maybe things work a little too well here? ADAM: Like what? Give me one example. (Barry and Adam stop walking and it is revealed to the audience that hundreds of cars are speeding by and narrowly missing them in perfect unison) BARRY: I don't know. But you know what I'm talking about. ANNOUNCER: Please clear the gate. Royal Nectar Force on approach. BARRY: Wait a second. Check it out. (The Pollen jocks fly in, circle around and landing in line) : - Hey, those are Pollen Jocks! ADAM: - Wow. : I've never seen them this close. BARRY: They know what it's like outside the hive. ADAM: Yeah, but some don't come back. GIRL BEES: - Hey, Jocks! - Hi, Jocks! (The Pollen Jocks hook up their backpacks to machines that pump the nectar to trucks, which drive away)
LOU LO DUVA: You guys did great! : You're monsters! You're sky freaks! I love it! (Punching the Pollen Jocks in joy) I love it! ADAM: - I wonder where they were. BARRY: - I don't know. : Their day's not planned. : Outside the hive, flying who knows where, doing who knows what. : You can't just decide to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that. ADAM== Right. (Barry and Adam are covered in some pollen that floated off of the Pollen Jocks) BARRY: Look at that. That's more pollen than you and I will see in a lifetime. ADAM: It's just a status symbol. Bees make too much of it. BARRY: Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it and the ladies see you wearing it. (Barry waves at 2 girls standing a little away from them)
ADAM== Those ladies? Aren't they our cousins too? BARRY: Distant. Distant. POLLEN JOCK #1: Look at these two. POLLEN JOCK #2: - Couple of Hive Harrys. POLLEN JOCK #1: - Let's have fun with them. GIRL BEE #1: It must be dangerous being a Pollen Jock. BARRY: Yeah. Once a bear pinned me against a mushroom! : He had a paw on my throat, and with the other, he was slapping me! (Slaps Adam with his hand to represent his scenario) GIRL BEE #2: - Oh, my! BARRY: - I never thought I'd knock him out. GIRL BEE #1: (Looking at Adam) What were you doing during this? ADAM: Obviously I was trying to alert the authorities. BARRY: I can autograph that.
(The pollen jocks walk up to Barry and Adam, they pretend that Barry and Adam really are pollen jocks.) POLLEN JOCK #1: A little gusty out there today, wasn't it, comrades? BARRY: Yeah. Gusty. POLLEN JOCK #1: We're hitting a sunflower patch six miles from here tomorrow. BARRY: - Six miles, huh? ADAM: - Barry! POLLEN JOCK #2: A puddle jump for us, but maybe you're not up for it. BARRY: - Maybe I am. ADAM: - You are not! POLLEN JOCK #1: We're going 0900 at J-Gate. : What do you think, buzzy-boy? Are you bee enough? BARRY: I might be. It all depends on what 0900 means. (The scene cuts to Barry looking out on the hive-city from his balcony at night) MARTIN:
Hey, Honex! BARRY: Dad, you surprised me. MARTIN: You decide what you're interested in? BARRY: - Well, there's a lot of choices. - But you only get one. : Do you ever get bored doing the same job every day? MARTIN: Son, let me tell you about stirring. : You grab that stick, and you just move it around, and you stir it around. : You get yourself into a rhythm. It's a beautiful thing. BARRY: You know, Dad, the more I think about it, : maybe the honey field just isn't right for me. MARTIN: You were thinking of what, making balloon animals? : That's a bad job for a guy with a stinger. :
Janet, your son's not sure he wants to go into honey! JANET: - Barry, you are so funny sometimes. BARRY: - I'm not trying to be funny. MARTIN: You're not funny! You're going into honey. Our son, the stirrer! JANET: - You're gonna be a stirrer? BARRY: - No one's listening to me! MARTIN: Wait till you see the sticks I have. BARRY: I could say anything right now. I'm gonna get an ant tattoo! (Barry's parents don't listen to him and continue to ramble on) MARTIN: Let's open some honey and celebrate! BARRY: Maybe I'll pierce my thorax. Shave my antennae. : Shack up with a grasshopper. Get a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"! JANET: I'm so proud. (The scene cuts to Barry and Adam waiting in line to get a job) ADAM: - We're starting work today!
BARRY: - Today's the day. ADAM: Come on! All the good jobs will be gone. BARRY: Yeah, right. JOB LISTER: Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring, stirrer, front desk, hair removal... BEE IN FRONT OF LINE: - Is it still available? JOB LISTER: - Hang on. Two left! : One of them's yours! Congratulations! Step to the side. ADAM: - What'd you get? BEE IN FRONT OF LINE: - Picking crud out. Stellar! (He walks away) ADAM: Wow! JOB LISTER: Couple of newbies? ADAM: Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready! JOB LISTER: Make your choice. (Adam and Barry look up at the job board. There are hundreds of constantly changing panels that contain available or unavailable jobs. It looks very confusing)
ADAM: - You want to go first? BARRY: - No, you go. ADAM: Oh, my. What's available? JOB LISTER: Restroom attendant's open, not for the reason you think. ADAM: - Any chance of getting the Krelman? JOB LISTER: - Sure, you're on. (Puts the Krelman finger-hat on Adam's head) (Suddenly the sign for Krelman closes out) : I'm sorry, the Krelman just closed out. (Takes Adam's hat off) Wax monkey's always open. ADAM: The Krelman opened up again. : What happened? JOB LISTER: A bee died. Makes an opening. See? He's dead. Another dead one. : Deady. Deadified. Two more dead. : Dead from the neck up. Dead from the neck down. That's life!
ADAM: Oh, this is so hard! (Barry remembers what the Pollen Jock offered him and he flies off) Heating, cooling, stunt bee, pourer, stirrer, : humming, inspector number seven, lint coordinator, stripe supervisor, : mite wrangler. Barry, what do you think I should... Barry? (Adam turns around and sees Barry flying away) : Barry! POLLEN JOCK: All right, we've got the sunflower patch in quadrant nine... ADAM: (Through phone) What happened to you? Where are you? BARRY: - I'm going out. ADAM: - Out? Out where? BARRY: - Out there. ADAM: - Oh, no! BARRY: I have to, before I go to work for the rest of my life. ADAM:
You're gonna die! You're crazy! (Barry hangs up) Hello? POLLEN JOCK #2: Another call coming in. : If anyone's feeling brave, there's a Korean deli on 83rd : that gets their roses today. BARRY: Hey, guys. POLLEN JOCK #1 == - Look at that. POLLEN JOCK #2: - Isn't that the kid we saw yesterday? LOU LO DUVA: Hold it, son, flight deck's restricted. POLLEN JOCK #1: It's OK, Lou. We're gonna take him up. (Puts hand on Barry's shoulder) LOU LO DUVA: (To Barry) Really? Feeling lucky, are you? BEE WITH CLIPBOARD: (To Barry) Sign here, here. Just initial that. : - Thank you. LOU LO DUVA: - OK. : You got a rain advisory today, :
and as you all know, bees cannot fly in rain. : So be careful. As always, watch your brooms, : hockey sticks, dogs, birds, bears and bats. : Also, I got a couple of reports of root beer being poured on us. : Murphy's in a home because of it, babbling like a cicada! BARRY: - That's awful. LOU LO DUVA: (Still talking through megaphone) - And a reminder for you rookies, : bee law number one, absolutely no talking to humans! : All right, launch positions! POLLEN JOCKS: (The Pollen Jocks run into formation) : Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! LOU LU DUVA: Black and yellow! POLLEN JOCKS:

LOU LO DUVA: OK, ladies, : let's move it out! : Pound those petunias, you striped stem-suckers! : All of you, drain those flowers! (The pollen jocks fly out of the hive) BARRY: Wow! I'm out! : I can't believe I'm out! : So blue.
: I feel so fast and free! : Box kite! (Barry flies through the kite) : Wow! : Flowers! (A pollen jock puts on some high tech goggles that shows flowers similar to heat sink goggles.) POLLEN JOCK: This is Blue Leader. We have roses visual. : Bring it around 30 degrees and hold. : Roses! POLLEN JOCK #1: 30 degrees, roger. Bringing it around. : Stand to the side, kid. It's got a bit of a kick. (The pollen jock fires a high-tech gun at the flower, shooting tubes that suck up the nectar from the flower and collects it into a pouch on the gun) BARRY: That is one nectar collector! POLLEN JOCK #1== - Ever see pollination up close? BARRY: - No, sir. POLLEN JOCK #1:
(Barry and the Pollen jock fly over the field, the pollen jock sprinkles pollen as he goes) : I pick up some pollen here, sprinkle it over here. Maybe a dash over there, : a pinch on that one. See that? It's a little bit of magic. BARRY: That's amazing. Why do we do that? POLLEN JOCK #1: That's pollen power. More pollen, more flowers, more nectar, more honey for us. BARRY: Cool. POLLEN JOCK #1: I'm picking up a lot of bright yellow. could be daisies. Don't we need those? POLLEN JOCK #2: Copy that visual. : Wait. One of these flowers seems to be on the move. POLLEN JOCK #1: Say again? You're reporting a moving flower? POLLEN JOCK #2: Affirmative. (The Pollen jocks land near the "flowers" which, to the audience are obviously just tennis balls) KEN: (In the distance) That was on the line!
POLLEN JOCK #1: This is the coolest. What is it? POLLEN JOCK #2: I don't know, but I'm loving this color. : It smells good. Not like a flower, but I like it. POLLEN JOCK #1: Yeah, fuzzy. (Sticks his hand on the ball but it gets stuck) POLLEN JOCK #3== Chemical-y. (The pollen jock finally gets his hand free from the tennis ball) POLLEN JOCK #1: Careful, guys. It's a little grabby. (The pollen jocks turn around and see Barry lying his entire body on top of one of the tennis balls) POLLEN JOCK #2: My sweet lord of bees! POLLEN JOCK #3: Candy-brain, get off there! POLLEN JOCK #1: (Pointing upwards) Problem! (A human hand reaches down and grabs the tennis ball that Barry is stuck to) BARRY: - Guys! POLLEN JOCK #2: - This could be bad. POLLEN JOCK #3: Affirmative. (Vanessa Bloome starts bouncing the tennis ball, not knowing Barry is stick to it)
BARRY== Very close. : Gonna hurt. : Mama's little boy. (Barry is being hit back and forth by two humans playing tennis. He is still stuck to the ball) POLLEN JOCK #1: You are way out of position, rookie! KEN: Coming in at you like a MISSILE! (Barry flies past the pollen jocks, still stuck to the ball) BARRY: (In slow motion) Help me! POLLEN JOCK #2: I don't think these are flowers. POLLEN JOCK #3: - Should we tell him? POLLEN JOCK #1: - I think he knows. BARRY: What is this?! KEN: Match point! : You can start packing up, honey, because you're about to EAT IT! (A pollen jock coughs which confused Ken and he hits the ball the wrong way with Barry stuck to it and it goes flying into the city) BARRY:
Yowser! (Barry bounces around town and gets stuck in the engine of a car. He flies into the air conditioner and sees a bug that was frozen in there) BARRY: Ew, gross. (The man driving the car turns on the air conditioner which blows Barry into the car) GIRL IN CAR: There's a bee in the car! : - Do something! DAD DRIVING CAR: - I'm driving! BABY GIRL: (Waving at Barry) - Hi, bee. (Barry smiles and waves at the baby girl) GUY IN BACK OF CAR: - He's back here! : He's going to sting me! GIRL IN CAR: Nobody move. If you don't move, he won't sting you. Freeze! (Barry freezes as well, hovering in the middle of the car) : GRANDMA IN CAR== He blinked! (The grandma whips out some bee-spray and sprays everywhere in the car, climbing into the front seat, still trying to spray Barry) GIRL IN CAR: Spray him, Granny! DAD DRIVING THE CAR: What are you doing?! (Barry escapes the car through the air conditioner and is flying high above
the ground, safe.) BARRY: Wow... the tension level out here is unbelievable. (Barry sees that storm clouds are gathering and he can see rain clouds moving into this direction)
So seriously what the fuck man
