2024.06.01 11:49 SnooStrawberries6343 Im unsure of who has to say this but...
If you are going to do touge especially if your new to it, and new means done it less than like 7 times, don't: - Try to drift (you'll say "oh its only 30 mph" until you say "its only 30k to fix") - Don't use your ebrake, and don't let your passengers either, power slides are ok but the ebrake is gonna slide your rear end out far more than you believe - you don't have to take a corner fast to have fun, taking a corner at 45 is gonna be just as fun as taking it at 80, if your getting bored of doing 45 then take a break from touge and do some street for a month or 2 and then go back to it. - Know your limitations and know your car "Oh I saw it on initial D" does not make you a professional. and "Oh in Formula Drift they make it look easy" is not a valid excuse to your insurance company nor is it to the media, when people see you rolled 8 times because you thought doing your first drift on a mountain pass was gonna be a smart idea, think again, no one can be too professional, and theres still times in professional racing that this stuff happens, like I was watching formula drift about a month back and a guy with a bmw had his wheels turned but his front wheels lost traction and instead of sliding around the corner he just slid straight sideways, so if your going to attempt a drift be 90% confident that's what you wanna attempt and accept the risks, think it over like reading terms and conditions. dont be 100% confident tho, thats too confident.

- lastly dont pull stunts to show off to your friends, this counts as ANYWHERE, as someone who drives a couple fast cars and does some goofy stuff sometimes, ive had a really really close call with a friend at a way higher speed than I shouldve been doing, and I track race. so for the last time. even professionals make mistakes so next time you think your a professional, remember that.
2024.06.01 11:35 Lower-Difference9897 I [23M] feel neglected and unheard in my long-distance relationship with my girlfriend [22F] who recently started a new job and formed a close bond with a male co-worker
I’m a 23-year-old guy from India, and I’m reaching out here because I really need some advice and emotional support. I’ve been dating my girlfriend for over two years now. She’s 22 and lives in the USA, so we’re in a long-distance relationship. This is my second relationship. My first girlfriend tragically passed away in a car accident, which left a huge void in my life. Finding love again was something I never thought possible, but then I met my current girlfriend, and she brought light back into my world.
For the first year and a half, our relationship was nothing short of perfect. Despite the distance, we managed to stay deeply connected. We would talk for hours, sharing every little detail about our days. I felt truly happy and content, knowing I had someone who cared for me just as much as I cared for her.
However, things have taken a drastic turn recently, and I feel increasingly neglected and unheard. About three weeks ago, my girlfriend started working as a cashier at a pizza shop. She has a co-worker there who, in the beginning, didn’t concern me because I trust her deeply. But lately, his behavior and their interactions have been making me uncomfortable.
She often talks about how much fun he is, how he’s always pulling pranks and making everyone laugh. While I’m glad she’s enjoying her job, it’s hard not to feel uneasy. Last Thursday, they went to a pool party together. My girlfriend didn’t know anyone else there except for this co-worker who invited her. She told me he was dragging her into the water and they spent a lot of time playing together. She described it as a great time, but what bothers me the most is that she never mentioned she was going to this party. I only found out the next day when I was telling her how sick I felt.
This incident hit me hard. I feel like my boundaries aren’t being respected. I’ve always been loyal to her, never going out with other girls or allowing any girl to get close to me because I value our relationship and her trust. But even setting aside my worries about her co-worker, I feel like I’m not getting the emotional support I desperately need.
A few days ago, I had a severe panic attack. I texted her, pouring out my feelings, telling her how my heart was racing, I couldn’t breathe properly, I was sweating profusely, and feeling extremely anxious. Her response was, “Damn, that’s pretty bad.” That was it. Her lack of empathy made me feel even worse, and I ended up crying. I felt so alone in that moment, even though I have someone who’s supposed to be there for me.
I understand that she’s had a rough past with her exes. She’s told me about her three exes who were all controlling and toxic, dictating what she could or couldn’t do, who she could talk to, and where she could go. I’ve always tried to be different, to give her the space and freedom she deserves. I don’t want to be like her exes. I don’t want to be controlling or make her feel trapped. But this situation is tearing me apart.
There’s always been a communication gap between us. We’ve talked about it multiple times, and she agreed to be more open about her feelings and what she’s doing. But this change only lasted for a few days before things went back to how they were. I feel like I’m always the one reaching out, sharing my life, and trying to keep the connection alive, but I don’t get the same in return. I tell her everything because I want her to feel reassured, knowing how much I love her and that I’m loyal. But I don’t get the same level of transparency and support from her.
I’m not asking for complete access to her life. I just need some reassurance. I need to feel like I can trust her, but without proper communication, it’s incredibly hard. I’m a human being, and I need some form of reassurance to feel secure in our relationship. Knowing about something as simple as her plans, like going to a pool party with her co-worker, would make a world of difference to me.
Whenever something significant happens in my life, whether good or bad, she’s the first person I want to tell. But it feels like she doesn’t have the same desire to share her life with me. I feel like I’m not being listened to, and it’s taking a heavy toll on my mental health. I’ve had multiple panic attacks because of this, feeling lost and helpless.
I don’t know what to do anymore. I love her with all my heart, but I don’t like how I’m feeling. How can I communicate my feelings without sounding controlling? How can I get the emotional support I need without making her feel pressured? I’m scared of losing her, but I can’t continue feeling this way.
I desperately need advice on how to handle this situation. Any insight or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

2024.06.01 11:29 cwrace71 Reconsidering What Long Covid Could Be Doing To Me
So...this is likely going to be a long post, I apologize in advance as I kind of just have a lot of my mind to expand upon.
I am a 33 year old male, I first got Covid in late December 2023. It was rough, What complicates this for me is that I didn't feel good before Covid. For years I dealt with major fatigue issues, what some would consider similar to adrenal fatigue type symptoms, low blood sugar feelings every day, anxiety, all kinds of weird stomach/chest sensations, lack of energy, heat sensitivity, anxiety and more. The only things I previously had been confirmed to have that could have contribued to this were low Vitamin D and a hiatal hernia. Over the last few years I've had a batery of heart tests, stomach tests, all never really found much other than the hiatal hernia.
Covid was rough on me for sure. Had the worst cough I've ever had for weeks. Though oxygen remained normal, the worst muscle pains I've ever had, and stomach issues, frequent bowel movement. In the weeks following Covid I felt like my hiatal hernia had been made worse as I was just noticing symptoms in there more. I also feel sleepy way more than I did before Covid. The coughing stopped, but I dont know that any of it totally went away, there were periods of time where I forgot I had Covid and even thought I was totally over it a few times, but right now I am reconsidering it.
The last few weeks I have really been just not been feeling rough..and its nothing new to me totally but it all feels worse.
Muscle pains and soreness...I dont have horrible muscle pains, but I have pains that are just there that I didnt notice before, arms, legs, ribs, back, chest. Now weird feelings werent new to me, but its all so much more noticeable after Covid. Its almost like...My muscles are all just a little heavy/sore, like if I want to go on a walk, its like starting an old car, something at 33 I dont think is the norm, just sitting here typing this paragraph I've noticed a strain/muscle pain in my left knee, upper thigh, fingers, and left wirst. They are low on the pain scale like 2 or 3 out of 10, but they are there. It is similar to the muscle feelings you get when you are sick but not quite on that scale, just a lower level daily 24/7 version of it.
My hiatal hernia has felt so much worse in the last few weeks. I am noticing so much more pressure around it, its almost like a baby kicking in my lower chest/upper stomach when I move positions or lean wrong, or strain. I've had lots of nausea last few weeks also going along with it, it also goes along with the low blood sugar feelings I get which are fixed by foods (not sugar), and sometimes its hard to tell if I am sick or hungry or what.
Along with the theme of stomach issues, and this one gets a little more graphic...I haven't been normal with bowel movements since I had Covid. Atleast my usual. I was..pretty regular pre-covid. Every couple days, maybe once a day, but it was..simple..relatively the same...Since I had Covid, its extremely irregular, much more frequently it can be more diahhrea like, usually very soft, sometimes multiple times a day which used to be extremely rare for me, and where I used to be able to hold it before, it seems to come on much more suddenly for me now.
For a weird one, I feel like my anxiety is worse again since Covid...now I had anxiety for years which was actually caused by all the strange symptoms I had over the years. But it had been maintained and stable before Covid. Now it feels like any adrenaline release at all absolutely screws up my body. Good or bad energy. Watching a sporting event and getting excited = feeling bad...Even gaming...I am an eSports compeititor, mainly with sim racing, but I enjoy other games. I've noticed that if I play a game like Fortnite now, when I get done if its a tense game, I am borderline panic attack and my body freaking out for literally no reason, and it comes on out of nowhere once i'm done. Fortnite seems to do it worst of all games.
There are more things im sure I am forgetting but its very late, and this really hit me today that maybe somehow Long Covid is playing up all of these things after all. I did have an episode of my heart racing last month and they said it was POTS..I had an EKG while it was going, EKG was normal, Chest XRay was normal...I dont necessarily believe it was POTS but I also cant rule it out as I have had other POTS like symptoms before.

2024.06.01 10:30 Boss452 Fast 5, Fast & Furious 6 & Furious 7 make for a great action trilogy.
It's hard to pick out a 3 movie run in a series of 10 but I feel these 3 movies deserve the mention. I think F1-F4 are all entertaining movies but are mid. The first 2 feel very dated now although the OG has its pros. But Fast Five changed things up big time and brought life back into the franchise. The next 2 maintain the same quality I feel and Furious 7 has the perfect ending this series could have asked for. F8-F10 become the Dominic Toretto show and physics, logic and reason have no place in them at all. It has become a meme worthy series now and the dwindling box office results of the last 2 are signs that fans are losing interest.
Anyways, coming to the F5-F7 trilogy, F5 is the blueprint to what the franchise has now become. But it feels very fresh and organic here. There is an 'edge' to it. Dominic still has the anti-hero swagger which got lost F7 onwards. The Rock as Hobbs was a menacing presence. The favelas of Brazil added a lot of atmosphere and the plot involving 3 parties colliding with each others' interest was engrossing.
Fast and Furious 6 is arguably just as good as Fast Five. 2/3 of the movie is set in London and that might arguably be the best portion of the series. This is the first time a character returns from the death. But they have a cheat here since we never actually saw Letty die in F4. Luke Evans' Owen Shaw is a very charismatic presence. Nice to see Hobbs join the team. The initial chase through the streets of London is very fun. And it's exciting to see Hobbs' team take on Shaw's similar team. Each character again gets their fair share of screentime. The Dom vs Letty race is fantastic. Lot of tension there. When things move to Spain is when physics gets abused badly although the tank scene and the airport runaway scene are really fun. I love how in these movies almost all members of the team get to do physical stuff. Unlike say Mission Impossible or Bond where it's Ethan or Bond in action as the rest sit out behind the screens. Credit where it is due, each sequence in the F&F franchise has so many moving parts in them. Fast and Furious 6 ends on a good note where the team get pardons and return to LA.
Furious 7 has less of a reason to exist and is a bit of a downgrade in quality but I have to credit James Wan here for good direction. It being Paul walker's last movie also holds value. The Caucasus mountains action scene is arguably the best setpiece of the series. Kurt Russel was a nice addition and Statham is intimidating as well. But I do feel Abu Dhabi and LA sequences get too gimmicky. I also dislike how Vin diesel starts dominating proceedings in this one. Previously things were nicely balanced with Walker's Brian. But the ending they give to Walker is worth the movie.
So if any new viewers are interested, F5-F7 is must watch in the action genre. The earlier ones can be ignored. And F8-F10 are devoid of any logic or reasonable story. The whole formula gets stale at this point. Even the action spectacles lose creativity at this point. When cars start taking on submarines is when you know filmmakers dont respect the audience anymore.
But it shouldn't take away that Fast Five and Furious 6 are great action pics.

2024.06.01 10:20 xoxoRain517 How do I get over trust issues, when my new boyfriend has been nothing but wonderful to me?
I haven’t had much luck when it came to relationships. Idk why, but I always end up picking the wrong guy. A little backstory so Reddit can see why I am this way. From 2010-2017 I dated a guy, “R”, he betrayed me so bad. He led a double life and was two timing me for years. I’m not a side-piece, and never will be. But that’s how he treated me, he had a full blown relationship while I was his side. I never agreed to that, he just had a double life. He betrayed me and her for years. He’s still with his “main” and has been betraying her for years, yet she’s blind to his infidelity. Evidently she’s going to marry him, and I feel sorry for her. Because he’s disloyal, and a liar and cheater. But anyway, so we broke up in 2017 and haven’t seen each other for 6 years and recently I gave him another chance. And ykno what? It was still the same bullshit. Him two timing me and her his “‘main”. Everything he told me was a straight up lie. He’s still with her til this day. He lied to me and said they were over, which wasn’t true at all. I had thought, after 6 years of separation he would’ve changed. But he didn’t. Still just a lying, cheating bastard. So I left his ass in the dust. Tbh he is my biggest regret, and I feel like I wasted my 20’s with him.
After “R”, there was “P”. So what happened with P is that, we were hanging out a lot and making memories together, and one day out of the blue I texted him, and a girl answered back told me to “stop texting my man”. I felt so stupid….. after all the memories we made he didn’t even have the balls to tell me he was going to date someone else. He couldn’t even give me a conversation, he just ghosted me. That hurt a lot. I’m just tired of never being good enough, and always an option.
After “P” came “J” my current Man. Generally, things have been good with me and J. He’s a catch, and a keeper. & has the ability to make any girl fall for him easily. He makes a lot of effort for me, even though he’s tired from working the graveyard shift he’ll still pick me up to spend time with him. Something that made me think a lot, So well he told me he wanted alone time, to take space or whatever. That week when he told me that I took it pretty harshly. It was only because I was emotional about my absent father’s death. It was his death anniversary, he’s been dead for 18 years now. Generally, my father was absent in my life. I don’t have many fond memories of him. Only just a few photos of him that I have and his passport and his ICE id, since my parents were refugees. So I pretty much sent him a long paragraph about why I was so upset about him asking for space. I’m not usually like that, I’m very understanding, and I never wanna force something on him. But as I said, I was emotional about my absent father’s death. I cried for like a week straight. But see after I sent him the paragraph about me being abandoned, he texted me asking to spend quality time together. We made up, made love, and things were wonderful. I can’t understand why he decided to change his stance about wanting space. Is he actually just a good guy, and willing to change his ways for me? I can’t tell if he’s the real deal, or just faking it. When I text him, he’s a man of few words. But when we’re together, he always talks to me about the important things. He doesn’t tell me he cares, he shows me with his actions. He’s mainly a loner, and only hangs out with his cousin. He doesn’t give me a reason to not trust him. I’m just scared of being hurt again. In actuality, he treats me really good. We both treat each other really good. For my birthday this year on May 17, he spoiled me with presents, quality time, food and love making. He made me feel really special and loved.
For the most part, I’m just sensitive and vulnerable and afraid that he’s too good to be true. I had already fallen for him, and caught feelings. He’s a pretty great guy. He’s handsome, attentive, has a job, a car, and his own place. Oh and good 🍆 too. He’s literally amazing in every way, and I can’t help but think, is he hiding something? Is this real? Did I actually find a good man? I guess I’m just insecure from being heartbroken too much. Scared because I was always the option. Scared because I’m a nice girl, a good woman, yet I always get taken advantage of. I just needed advice because, I’m just tired of getting the short end of the stick. In the dating world in this day and age, you would know that finding a good man or woman is like finding a needle in a haystack. I’m scared, because the deeper I fall in love with him, the more of a chance that I could get hurt.
What do I do?
TL:DR I’ve been heartbroken a lot, scared that my new guy is too good to be true.

2024.06.01 10:13 Ok-Promotion-6703 My girl best friend was an popular person but then i found how she became popular
It started as a fun weekend getaway. Emma, Jake, and I had planned a camping trip in the remote woods, a place where cell service barely existed. We were desperate for a break from our daily grind, a chance to unplug and reconnect with nature. Emma, who was strikingly beautiful with her flowing blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, had insisted on this spot, claiming it was untouched and serene.
The first night was perfect—stories around the campfire, laughter echoing through the trees, and a sky full of stars. Emma's laughter was infectious, and her radiant smile made the night even more magical. But things took a dark turn the following morning when we found our supplies ransacked and strange, crude traps set around our camp.
"What the hell?" Jake exclaimed, examining the remains of our food. "Who would do this?"
"I don't know," Emma replied, her blue eyes wide with confusion. "This doesn't make any sense."
At first, we thought it was some kind of sick joke. But when Jake triggered a trap that nearly impaled him with spikes, we realized this was no prank.
"Jesus, that was close," Jake said, his face pale as he backed away from the spikes.
"We need to get out of here," I said, trying to keep my voice steady.
Panic set in as we tried to find our way back to the car, but every path seemed to lead us deeper into the forest. It was as if the woods themselves were conspiring against us.
"Emma, do you have any idea where we are?" I asked, anxiety creeping into my voice.
Her blue eyes narrowed as she surveyed the area. "I swear, I thought I did," she replied, her beauty a stark contrast to the terror unfolding around us. "Let's split up. We'll cover more ground that way."
That was our first mistake. Alone, I stumbled upon a camera, hidden but running. It was live-streaming. The screen displayed a live chat, viewers commenting frantically about our every move.
"Is this some kind of sick joke?" I muttered, my heart pounding as I pieced it together—someone was watching us, orchestrating our terror for entertainment.
Desperate to warn the others, I raced back to our meeting point, only to find Emma standing over a bloodied Jake. She looked at me with wide, manic eyes.
"It's for the views, Alex," she said, her voice disturbingly calm. "People love seeing raw fear. They believe they're watching you end your life, but it's me. It’s all me."
I stared at her, horrified. "Emma, why? We trusted you."
Her smile was cold, devoid of any warmth. "Fame, Alex. This will make us famous. Can't you see? This is bigger than us."
"You're insane," I said, backing away slowly. "This isn't fame, it's murder."
Emma's expression turned to one of mock pity. "Oh, Alex. You always were too naive."
"Emma, we need help. Jake's hurt," I said, trying to reason with her.
Jake groaned, clutching his side. "Alex, don't waste your breath."
But something in Emma's eyes shifted. She looked around, suddenly uncertain. "No, this can't be happening," she muttered. "It was supposed to be perfect."
I seized the moment. "Emma, look at yourself. You're losing it. We need to get out of here."
Her grip on the knife faltered, and she looked down at Jake, then back at me. "I... I didn't mean for this to happen."
"Emma, put the knife down," I urged, my voice gentle. "We can still make it out of here."
For a moment, I thought she might listen. But then she shook her head, her eyes wild again. "No! This is my moment!"
She turned and ran into the woods, disappearing into the dense foliage. I rushed to Jake, helping him to his feet.
"We have to move, now," I said.
With Jake leaning heavily on me, we stumbled through the forest. The sounds of Emma's frantic shouts echoed in the distance, growing fainter as we pressed on. Hours later, we finally emerged onto a road, a passing car screeching to a halt as we waved frantically.
"Help us!" I called out, and the driver quickly dialed for help.
As we waited for the paramedics, Jake and I sat on the roadside, exhausted but relieved. "Do you think she'll find her way out?" Jake asked.
I shook my head, unsure. "I don't know. But I hope she does. She needs help, Jake. Real help."
Emma was eventually found, delirious and lost, babbling about fame and followers. She was taken to a psychiatric facility, her channel shut down, but the videos were already out there, shared and re-shared by thousands. People debated their authenticity, some calling them the most brilliant horror performance ever, others demanding justice.
I never went back to the woods, and I never spoke to Emma again. But the scars remained, a constant reminder of how our obsession with online fame turned a trusted friend into a monster.

2024.06.01 10:10 Everettluoma27 From here to Armageddon (continuation)
666 AND BAR-CODES, MARK OF THE BEAST
(Hatonn here describes in 1991 how it will be. I suggest ghat it dexcribes today how it is. Everything is marked including us.)
I have been asked time and again about the connections and if, in fact, there are connections regarding the 666 symbol and bas-codes.
I can assure you of one thing, the number 666 does not randomly appear any more often than does 222, 444, or say, 333. Nevertheless, it is quite obvious that WHERE the numbers appear is very definitely of great importance. The numbers 666 are rapidly becoming man's favorite number and keep popping up in strange places--even though a recognized symbol of pure Satanic code--it is appearing more frequently than any other "number" in the so-called Christian and other religious placements. It is worthy of the time to speak of this matter for I think you must become aware that this code is being placed on all of you. I think it worth the time to give a listing of some instances of use of this number which none of you should miss in noting.
* World Bank code number is "666".
* New credit cards in the U. S. are now being assigned the prefix 666.
* Australia's NATIONAL bank cards have the code 666.
* Central computers for Sears, Belks, Pennys, and Montgomery Wards around the world have all their transactions prefixed with 666.
* Shoes made in European Common Market Countries have stamped on inside label 666.
* Computers made by Lear Siegler have a seal on the side on which is stamped the number 666.
* Internal Revenue Service instructions for NON-PROFIT Corporation Emoloyee 1979, W-2 Form requires the prefix 666.
* Internal Revenue Service began to require the prefix of 666 on some forms; for example, W-2P, disability is 666.3; death is 666.4, etc. as early as 1977.
* Tanks built by Chrysler Corporation...have on their sides 666.
* South Central Bell's new Telco Credit Union Cards require the prefix 666, then the person's Social Security number.
*. ID tags on 1979 GM cars produced in Flint, Michigan, contain the number 666.
*. United States Selective Service Cards have on them 666.
* Overseas telephone operator number from Israel is 666.
* Arab-owned vehicles IN JERUSALEM have license plates prefixed Wirth 666.
*. Record album released by the rock group, Black Sabbath is named 666.
*. The films, Omen I and II concern themselves with a world dictator and the number 666.
* Some IBM Supermarket equipment is prefixed with the number 3.666.
* JC Penney began prefixing account numbers in August, 1980, with 666.
* Master Card began using on their August, 1980, statements--66.
* Formula for NCR Model 304 Supermarket Computer System is 6 60 6,666.
* The United Nations resolution #666 came during the Iraq War.
Precious ones, there are contests even, called "666". What is happening by total intent is to condition the world to accept the coding of 666 without question or note. There is coming a day when a world governmental system will demand that everyone in the world take a mark and the number 666 in order to work, buy or sell. This fact is clearly set forth and being followed diligently. If you think you can avoid the mark of the beast--think again--YOU ALREADY BEAR THE MARK; DON'T BE STUPID AND SET YURSELF UP TO DENY SAME. YOU ARE ALREADY MARKED AND THE INSTRUCTIONS TO REFUSE THE MARK IS NOT OF GOD'S GIVING. YOU STEP FORTH AND REFUSE WHEN Y0U ARE ALREADY WITHIN THE SYSTEM AND YOU ARE DEAD OR INCARCERATED AND USELESS UNTO GOD'S WORK. IT IS A SEPARATION ENTRAPMENT SET FORTH BY THE BEAST TO CATCH THE LIGHTED PEOPLE. YOU CAN STAY OUT OF THE SYSTEM TO THE FULL LIMIT ALLOWED BY THE LAW BUT YOU DO NO ONE A FAVOR BY GETTING YOURSELF KILLED--IT NEANS ONE LESS WORKER FOR GOD.
THE NUMBER OF MAN
Let us look at that which is projected unto you and might be well worthy of note. Then number with which all the world will be commanded to work, buy and sell during the Great Tribulation is the number of man--and you find it on all bar-codes and Elite products. Number 6 as has been distorted for identification and easy reference has even taken as the number of imperfection; the human-given human number; the number of MAN as destitute of God--without God/Christ. At any rate, it is certain that man was created on the sixth day goes the accepted WORD, and thus he would be established under the number six--which would identify him and then, it goes on with several other non-coincidental accidents in numbering. For example, six days were appointed to man for his labor so it went, while one day is associated in sovereignty with the Lord God--as his day of rest. Then the infinite symbol of 8 represents infinity or immortality which is also of God. The serpent also, was created somehow on the sixth day, or so the Goods Book says--obviously God was most busy and yet totally restricted on the sixth day of His masterful creation. The sixth clause of the Lord's Prayer treats of sin. Six is the number stamped on all that is connected with human labor. You will see it stamped upon his measures which he uses in his labour and on the time during which he labors. And you see this from the very beginning.
Six, thew number of man, is one less than seven, the number which represents God and two less than the Creation. This indicates that man was created somehow in the likeness of God, but is not God, because God is perfect and sinless and one within and with Creation. The Sixth Commandment came as a result of Cain's sin of killing his brother, and the man who will ultimately claim the number 666 will be the greatest murderer the world has ever known. God put a mark upon Cain after the murder of Abel. Although Cain's mark was for the purpose of protecting him from those who would kill him, it also signified that before God, he was condemned. God forbade the children of Judea to mark their bodies--or did he? For the translation always read "Israel". The quoting then always continues with this looking forward to the time when the "Jews", as well as the rest of the world, would be called upon to take the mark of the Anti-Christ. Well, will the "Jews" take the mark? I guess so--they crested it!
But let us look a bit further into the book of Revelation. The Apocalypse: The 'mark' itself is at once a number and a name. The Apostle tells you what it is. As he gives it, it is made up of two Greek characters which stand for the name of Christ, with a third, the figure of a crooked serpent, put between them...Thjis horrid sign must everyone receive on one of the most conspicuous parts of the body, cut, stamped or branded in, there to abide indelibly. No one may either buy or sell without this mark, and all who do receive it take upon their bodies the token and seal of heir damnation!
Do you really.believe you have not already been branded? Let us consider that, for years--well over two decades--the laser beam has been branding steers and horses--and even salmon while they remain in the stream, swimming. It is instant and painless. The laser simply destroys skin pigment. In some thirty-BILLIONTHS of a second a technician can stitch a brand--or initials, or symbol. This type of branding of animals for ownership or research purposes has become common practice. Do you think it probable that everyone of you have been branded while standing, say, in a line to vote or register your car or, or, or--certainly if you have any kind of medical examination, dental care or hospitalization--especially immunizations.
TRANSACTION CARD/FINAL CARD
This is the final laugh at the world citizenry. This is one of the world's greatest conspiracies and it is being quietly conducted in.the most sacred halls of secular secrecy, brothers. While its thrust is Economic, its reach is without limit. No System will escape its mastery, be it in Politics or religions, Social or otherwise. I told you long ago, dear ones, that the SDI program was not f defense but rather to place into space satellites which unite the entire world banking system--the beast to all other parts in instant connection--with all citizens registered, identified and located. You are all simply within the system. The point is to protect yourself from the system as much as possible and the only way to do so is to utilize the laws and rules utilized by your adversary for as long as you can do so.
The Prime Mover here is the most powerful Consortium of financial institutions, capitalists, and scientists ever leagued together. Their common purpose is to bring every person, place and thing under their total control and it is all but in place and already operational.
The applied strategy is by way of instant IDENTIFICATION. This means of ixentoification is by way of assignment of MARKS (or bars) for NUJMBERS read by machines. (Numbers people can read, Marks they can't--the name of this game is SECRECY.)
Phase I began in 1970 with a ncnscientious effort to "IDENTIFY EVERY ITEM" at the manufacturers level with a NUMBER "MARKED" on it. A group of Numbers designated by Marks, lines or bars, is called a Bar Code, (Code 39, etc.), and giant computer manufacturers are central to the phase.
Phase II began in 1973 with an effort to IDENTIFY each PERSON with a Number. The Social Security Numbers when blended with the Universal Numbering System will be converted to "Bars". Initially, the NUMBER will be "marked" on a Card; (a World_Wide Money-ID-Card). Subsequently, according to the old Bible Prophecy written ands directed by the very ones who would put it into place, it will be stamped upon the person it identifies. As the MARK OF IDENTITY on an ITEM is a Bar Code, so the MARK OF IDENTIY on a Card and later on a person, will be a Bar Code facsimile. The Government, Banks, and Card Companies are central to this phase.
Phase III is an effort to identify everything in the world, whether mobile or stationary; if mobile, then how to instantaneously locate it, as a piece of luggage, an expensive race horse, a family car, or a pet or person. Central to this is the Federal Government which has spent ten years In research on "Electronic Identification" at Los Alamos, the Airlines, and private inventors.
The symbol of 666 is absolutely instrumental to the Bar Code system. You are already in it, so let us be most careful how you handle it. Your best defense against it is to know truth about it--stop deluding yourself that you can somehow avoid the mark lest you get s special mark which sets you apart as a troublemaker and you will be among the first incarcerated or removed by other means.

(Hatonn here describes in 1991 how it will be. I suggest ghat it dexcribes today how it is. Everything is marked including us.)
I have been asked time and again about the connections and if, in fact, there are connections regarding the 666 symbol and bas-codes.
I can assure you of one thing, the number 666 does not randomly appear any more often than does 222, 444, or say, 333. Nevertheless, it is quite obvious that WHERE the numbers appear is very definitely of great importance. The numbers 666 are rapidly becoming man's favorite number and keep popping up in strange places--even though a recognized symbol of pure Satanic code--it is appearing more frequently than any other "number" in the so-called Christian and other religious placements. It is worthy of the time to speak of this matter for I think you must become aware that this code is being placed on all of you. I think it worth the time to give a listing of some instances of use of this number which none of you should miss in noting.
* World Bank code number is "666".
* New credit cards in the U. S. are now being assigned the prefix 666.
* Australia's NATIONAL bank cards have the code 666.
* Central computers for Sears, Belks, Pennys, and Montgomery Wards around the world have all their transactions prefixed with 666.
* Shoes made in European Common Market Countries have stamped on inside label 666.
* Computers made by Lear Siegler have a seal on the side on which is stamped the number 666.
* Internal Revenue Service instructions for NON-PROFIT Corporation Emoloyee 1979, W-2 Form requires the prefix 666.
* Internal Revenue Service began to require the prefix of 666 on some forms; for example, W-2P, disability is 666.3; death is 666.4, etc. as early as 1977.
* Tanks built by Chrysler Corporation...have on their sides 666.
* South Central Bell's new Telco Credit Union Cards require the prefix 666, then the person's Social Security number.
*. ID tags on 1979 GM cars produced in Flint, Michigan, contain the number 666.
*. United States Selective Service Cards have on them 666.
* Overseas telephone operator number from Israel is 666.
* Arab-owned vehicles IN JERUSALEM have license plates prefixed Wirth 666.
*. Record album released by the rock group, Black Sabbath is named 666.
*. The films, Omen I and II concern themselves with a world dictator and the number 666.
* Some IBM Supermarket equipment is prefixed with the number 3.666.
* JC Penney began prefixing account numbers in August, 1980, with 666.
* Master Card began using on their August, 1980, statements--66.
* Formula for NCR Model 304 Supermarket Computer System is 6 60 6,666.
* The United Nations resolution #666 came during the Iraq War.
Precious ones, there are contests even, called "666". What is happening by total intent is to condition the world to accept the coding of 666 without question or note. There is coming a day when a world governmental system will demand that everyone in the world take a mark and the number 666 in order to work, buy or sell. This fact is clearly set forth and being followed diligently. If you think you can avoid the mark of the beast--think again--YOU ALREADY BEAR THE MARK; DON'T BE STUPID AND SET YURSELF UP TO DENY SAME. YOU ARE ALREADY MARKED AND THE INSTRUCTIONS TO REFUSE THE MARK IS NOT OF GOD'S GIVING. YOU STEP FORTH AND REFUSE WHEN Y0U ARE ALREADY WITHIN THE SYSTEM AND YOU ARE DEAD OR INCARCERATED AND USELESS UNTO GOD'S WORK. IT IS A SEPARATION ENTRAPMENT SET FORTH BY THE BEAST TO CATCH THE LIGHTED PEOPLE. YOU CAN STAY OUT OF THE SYSTEM TO THE FULL LIMIT ALLOWED BY THE LAW BUT YOU DO NO ONE A FAVOR BY GETTING YOURSELF KILLED--IT NEANS ONE LESS WORKER FOR GOD.
THE NUMBER OF MAN
Let us look at that which is projected unto you and might be well worthy of note.

2024.06.01 09:57 South-Proposal5691 AITAH for hanging out at a friend’s house when her brother is my ex
Backstory for this:
My ex (James - m20) and I broke up my junior year of high school after his best friend (David - m21) told me that James cheated on me at a party. James has a sister (Katie - f21) who was in my class. We have been close friends since 6th grade. David and I became friends through James, but during my relationship with James, David and I were never more than acquaintances. I had heard from others about the cheating before David told me, but I didn’t believe others because they were not at the party, and it came up in “I heard…”. David was the only person to tell me who was at this party, and said “this did happen.” It was impossible to chalk it up as a rumor at that point. David then began to distance himself from James because he didn’t like what he did. He wasn’t the only person to distance themselves from James, but David and I became friends after a bit. A few months later, David and I started dating and we’ve now been married for 1.5 years.
Everyone moved away and now for the summer, I am back home visiting by myself this week for a family event while my husband is deployed, and my old friends who I’ve kept in touch with are as well. Katie is back for the first time since moving and I haven’t seen her since graduation.
While a couple other girls and I were running around, we made a last minute choice to pick up Katie as well. Later, Katie invited up to join her and smoke on the roof at their place because James was supposed to have plans and leave. Katie called James to ask if he was gone yet, and when he said he wasn’t she asked if it was cool that we go up to her room. He wasn’t happy about it, but eventually she argued him into just going to another room while we walk in, since we would head straight up to her room. I guess his plans were canceled since he never left, but he called at 1am to ask if me and my friends had left yet. It turns out that the 4 hours we were there, he stayed in his bedroom with the door locked, in the basement, while we were shut in her room on the second floor with the door locked. Katie got irritated with him, saying we’ve been shut in here the entire time and she didn’t know why he wouldn’t just go about his time like we weren’t even here. My friends and I left shortly after as I didn’t want to make things anymore heated.
Yesterday I picked up Katie to go to the mall, and we made another last minute decision to get another friend, go back to my family’s place, and get in the hot tub. We needed to run by Katie’s place to grab her clothes, and on the way she called her mom to let her know. Katie’s mom invited us in for dinner, but we declined. Considering he stayed in the basement while we were on the roof, I didn’t think he would be thrilled to find me at their dinner table. While we were pulling in to the drive, Katie got a text from James that said “don’t bring her in.” She argued to him that it’s been years, but when we got there, I waited in the car.
Now today, James is going to spend a long weekend at his father’s house about an hour away. Katie invited me over to do my nails (she’s a nail artist) and I did her eyelashes (esthetician). Then later we were going to have some wine and watch a movie. However, even though James is gone, he’s still upset that I’m here. Katie has asked him to explain why it’s a problem when he isn’t here, but he won’t.
The whole reason I came over the first night was because I thought James and I were cool. We’ve previously chatted over text, caught up, wished each other well. I thought we were on good terms. I understood him not necessarily wanting to come face to face, but I didn’t realize I made him so uncomfortable that he felt the need to lock himself in the furthest part of the house.
I’m really starting to feel bad. Yes, I do want to hang out and see my friend’s family after not seeing them in year. But I feel like I’m crossing an unspoken boundary. I thought we were in a place where I could hang out with Katie and not be stepping on his toes. Hell, I thought we were at least able to coexist, especially in a social setting, like around friends.
AITAH? Am I crossing the line by being around?

2024.06.01 09:17 Thick_Morning_9908 Is this cheating
When I met my boyfriend he was fresh out of a relationship. He texted her frequently and also lived at his parents house in California while he lived in Hawaii (she had independency/family issues). He asked me several times to be his gf. I told him I thought he needed more time post break up to move on and also for his ex to not live with his parents but he persisted and we became official despite me still seeing her name on his phone.
We had dated a month. He went back home to take care of a brother that just got divorced. I asked him who picked him up, he said the ex. He needed a closure talk? I immediately broke up with him but he convinced me to come back saying the intentions were pure and that he told her the communication was over because I'm here. Almost a year later I finally got him to admit that they hugged after the hour long car ride and idk how long discussion. Up until then he denied they touched at all. Supposedly part of the closure talk involved whether or not she slept with other ppl while they weren't even together anymore.
8 months later we would still fight about this. In an argument he said "you can look at my phone" I said okay I'd like to. He froze. He didn't even have to scroll because they had just texted. She'd been texting him for the whole time. Sad songs, reminiscent things, even a selfie. He didn't reply most of the time but he still did and would even ask are you okay but never please don't text me I have a gf. In the end she was finally moving out of his parents house after a year of living there and he texted her a large paragraph and even said "i probably shouldn't be saying this but i miss you....you never know what will happen in the future". Also, the texts spanned up to the first weeks of us dating where she said "she met you're parents?! I'm so sad pls call me" and his response was "okay I will after work." The discussion leading up to the "closure talk" they were planning on a card game they were going to play during the visit.
He chalks it up to her having a bad home life and him not having cheating intentions. He won't call it cheating and says it only is because it's my definition of cheating.

The race drew a large crowd of enthusiastic fans, eager to witness the thrilling competition on the track known for its unique, egg-shaped design and challenging turns.
As the sun began to set, casting a golden hue over the historic raceway, the drivers lined up on the starting grid, their cars gleaming under the track lights. The roar of the engines filled the air, a symphony of power and speed that sent chills down the spines of everyone in attendance. The atmosphere was electric with anticipation.
The green flag waved, and the Toyota 200 was underway. Drivers jostled for position, skillfully navigating the track's tight corners and narrow straightaways. The early laps saw fierce competition, with several lead changes as drivers tested their limits and those of their cars. The high speeds and close racing kept the fans on the edge of their seats.
Midway through the race, a caution flag flew as a multi-car incident unfolded in Turn 3. The cars involved skidded across the track, sending up clouds of smoke and debris. The safety crews quickly responded, ensuring that all drivers were unharmed and clearing the track for the restart. This pause in the action allowed teams to strategize and make crucial adjustments.
As the race resumed, it became clear that this would be a battle of endurance and skill. Veteran drivers used their experience to navigate the tricky track, while young up-and-comers showcased their raw talent and fearless driving. The interplay between strategy and raw speed was evident as pit stops became a key factor in maintaining position and managing tire wear.
In the final laps, the tension reached its peak. Two drivers emerged as the frontrunners, their cars almost mirroring each other as they sped around the track. The lead changed hands multiple times, each driver pushing their car to the limit in a bid for victory. The crowd's excitement was palpable, with fans standing and cheering as their favorite drivers fought for the lead.
With just a few laps to go, a bold move in Turn 4 gave one driver a slight edge. He managed to maintain his lead, expertly defending his position against relentless pressure from his rival. As the checkered flag waved, the driver crossed the finish line, securing a hard-fought and well-deserved victory. The crowd erupted in applause, celebrating the thrilling conclusion to an unforgettable race.
In Victory Lane, the winning driver emerged from his car to a shower of confetti and the roar of the crowd. He was met with congratulations from his team and fellow competitors, all acknowledging the skill and determination that had led to his triumph. The winner's joy was evident as he held up the trophy, a symbol of his achievement at one of NASCAR's most iconic tracks.
The Toyota 200 at Darlington Raceway was more than just a race; it was a showcase of skill, strategy, and the enduring spirit of competition that defines NASCAR. For the fans, drivers, and teams, it was a night to remember, filled with the high-octane excitement that only the world of motorsports can deliver.

LandCruiser 200
The race drew a large crowd of enthusiastic fans, eager to witness the thrilling competition on the track known for its unique, egg-shaped design and challenging turns.
As the sun began to set, casting a golden hue over the historic raceway, the drivers lined up on the starting grid, their cars gleaming under the track lights. The roar of the engines filled the air, a symphony of power and speed that sent chills down the spines of everyone in attendance. The atmosphere was electric with anticipation.
The green flag waved, and the Toyota 200 was underway. Drivers jostled for position, skillfully navigating the track's tight corners and narrow straightaways. The early laps saw fierce competition, with several lead changes as drivers tested their limits and those of their cars. The high speeds and close racing kept the fans on the edge of their seats.
Midway through the race, a caution flag flew as a multi-car incident unfolded in Turn 3. The cars involved skidded across the track, sending up clouds of smoke and debris. The safety crews quickly responded, ensuring that all drivers were unharmed and clearing the track for the restart. This pause in the action allowed teams to strategize and make crucial adjustments.
As the race resumed, it became clear that this would be a battle of endurance and skill. Veteran drivers used their experience to navigate the tricky track, while young up-and-comers showcased their raw talent and fearless driving. The interplay between strategy and raw speed was evident as pit stops became a key factor in maintaining position and managing tire wear.
In the final laps, the tension reached its peak. Two drivers emerged as the frontrunners, their cars almost mirroring each other as they sped around the track. The lead changed hands multiple times, each driver pushing their car to the limit in a bid for victory. The crowd's excitement was palpable, with fans standing and cheering as their favorite drivers fought for the lead.
With just a few laps to go, a bold move in Turn 4 gave one driver a slight edge. He managed to maintain his lead, expertly defending his position against relentless pressure from his rival. As the checkered flag waved, the driver crossed the finish line, securing a hard-fought and well-deserved victory. The crowd erupted in applause, celebrating the thrilling conclusion to an unforgettable race.
In Victory Lane, the winning driver emerged from his car to a shower of confetti and the roar of the crowd. He was met with congratulations from his team and fellow competitors, all acknowledging the skill and determination that had led to his triumph. The winner's joy was evident as he held up the trophy, a symbol of his achievement at one of NASCAR's most iconic tracks.
The Toyota 200 at Darlington Raceway was more than just a race; it was a showcase of skill, strategy, and the enduring spirit of competition that defines NASCAR. For the fans, drivers, and teams, it was a night to remember, filled with the high-octane excitement that only the world of motorsports can deliver.
2024.06.01 08:56 Contra98 Moving from Class D to Class C next season. Need some advice!
Hi everyone! I've been in the iRacing service for the past 2 seasons, and as season 2 is coming to a close, I find myself up for promotion in both Sports Car and Formula from Class D to Class C for both.
Having just had a glimpse of the series Class C has to offer, I am a bit overwhelmed with the options. With limited budget, I am looking to purchase 1 new car and maybe a couple tracks for season 3.
Here's a quick snapshot of my iRacing experience so far:

Having just had a glimpse of the series Class C has to offer, I am a bit overwhelmed with the options. With limited budget, I am looking to purchase 1 new car and maybe a couple tracks for season 3.
Here's a quick snapshot of my iRacing experience so far:
- Season 1: Largely MX-5s and FF1600s. Wasn't great at either. Hovered around 1000-1200 irating for most of the season. Promoted to Class D
- Season 2: Largely raced the Ferrari 296 and FF1600s with more success in the latter. I found myself struggling a lot with the Ferrari and so towards the end I gave the GR86 a shot and found success there (I think it was the pivotal reason I could promote to Class C for sports car). iRating initally dropped a little towards 1000 but back up to about 1300 in both disciplines at this juncture.
- GT3: Either continuing to grind and improve in the Ferrari 296 in Ferrari Challenge or getting the Porsche 992 for the pcup (although I feel I might struggle even more with the Porsche)
- Formula: Getting the SF Lights or Dallara F3 as I feel I have been having good success with open wheelers and they suit my driving style a bit better
- GT4: Step down a notch from the GT3s and get a GT4 car to try something a little less frantic/powerful compared to the Ferrari

2024.06.01 08:55 ArachnidOrchid9238 I'm leaving him thanks to my dogs
During our (25f, 35m) almost two years together, he:
My boyfriend very much disliked my older dog. He would say Jack is just a mutt, he is ugly, fat and old, and I should just take him to the slaughterhouse or something. He made stupid jokes like this all the time. He told me not to let Jack sit in front of him because he didn't want to have to look at him and couldn't stand him.
With my younger dog, that's a different story. Nero is likely not a mutt, he appears to be purebred. My boyfriend liked him because of that, so he would eagerly ask to hold Nero when we were walking the dogs. From the very beginning he treated him roughly though. He would forcibly pick him up, throw him around, set him off on cats, push him, shove him, pull onto the skin on his back and neck, etc. I asked him not to roughhouse the dog like that all the time, or at least keep it light, because all it did was teach the pup to be agressive, but he wouldn't listen.
What he did yesterday made my blood boil with rage. He picked Nero up and literally threw him onto Jack's back. Of course Jack started yelping and tried to bite Nero. I snapped. That was the only time I ever yelled at my boyfriend. I screamed at him at the top of my lungs, asking if he's an idiot. Jack is old, his legs are achy, and my boyfriend just threw another fully grown dog onto his back. Moreover, I've been struggling to make the dogs get along and live together, and now you're trying to pit them against each other?!?
After the initial shock and rage, I asked him to apologize at least. He refused. He said he had done nothing wrong. He thinks I'm too soft, I treat those dogs too gently, it's ok to play roughly, they're dogs afterall, it's not hurting them.
It's funny how he could abuse me in any way possible, and I let it go on, I even tried to justify his abusive ways. He took so much from me, my enthusiasm and love for everything I once enjoyed. But when it came to my dogs, I just snapped. When things got physical with my dogs, I finally found it in me to fight back. Now I think this young pup and I were meant to meet and save each other.

- Undressed me and had sex with my limp body after I told him "not right now" (I had just accidentally hit a cat with my car a few hours before, and I was a mess because of that). I was crying and covering my face with my hands, and I was too mentally exhausted to push him off of me or do anything. He later said he wasn't aware I was crying.
- Forced me several times to have sex when he was drunk and I kept saying no because I felt uncomfortable with him being drunk. The only time I resisted, he became so heartless, cold and sulky, which caused me to burst into tears and have a huge fight which I honestly thought would be the end of the relationship (it wasn't).
- Would "jockingly" punch my arms or thighs, slap the back of my neck, push me down, pull my hair, etc. He even left bruises once or twice, but that's just because I don't get bruises easily. Whenever I said it hurt and asked him to stop, he said it couldn't possibly hurt since he wasn't actually hitting me, he was just playing. If I tried to hit him back in the same "jocking" manner, he would hit me harder.
- Constantly criticized my looks. "why don't you put on some make up? Why don't you cut/dye/style your hair? Look at your colleagues, they take care of themselves, don't you want to look like them? Don't you want to be a lady? Why don't you want to have breast surgery to fix those uneven boobs?". I had clean yet baggy clothes, I showered twice a day, used deodorant, washed my hair, flossed and brushed after every meal. I just don't look anything like the models and porn actresses he is obsessed with.
- Withheld affection. He would literally shove me and push me when trying to hug him, telling me to leave him alone. He wouldn't hold my hand, no goodbye hug, nothing. It took over half a year to get him to cuddle sometimes. Most of the time, I have to beg, literally beg him to let me hug him for just 2 seconds. He is always in a hurry or not in the mood for being touched.
- Gave me the silent treatment/disappeared for days and weeks. During this time, I couldn't sleep or eat, my heart was racing and my mind was overwhelmed with thoughts of how I may have hurt him, how I should've behaved differently, how it's my fault he is upset. Before we were serious, he ghosted me on New Year's Eve and came back after 3 months.
- Would constantly hurry me, walk ahead of me, not wait for me, cut me off when walking down the street and had to make a turn, even though I repeteadly told him it was bothering me.
- Would always tell me I'm stupid and immature for liking flowers, bugs, anything nature. Criticized me for taking too many photos of every little thing, for picking flowers, for everything "soft hearted". He always shuts me down when I try to tell him about a trip I've been on or show him photos (and he never wants to come with me when I invite him).

2024.06.01 08:36 Disp-Redd 27 [M4F] Online/India - A blend of old-school chivalry without the additive misogyny? Looking for something long-term/to settle down.
Introduction
A 27 year old man who absolutely values independence, equality, principles of feminism while still believing in good-old chivalrous habits like holding the door for the lady, walking by the curb, and dropping the woman home, not because she's incapable of it, but because that's the nice thing to do and shows that you've been raised with manners and decency?! Whatever happened to doing things out of kindness of your own heart without having a hidden agenda behind it? Anyhow, this man is looking for a long-term relationship aimed at finally settling down, and perhaps even starting a family if the woman is willing.
About me
Absolutely average looking guy. 5'11" in height, keeps a stubble and neatly trimmed beard, dark hair, brown eyes which turn golden in sunlight (in my girly era YAY!), features a dad-bod, healthy, working on maintaining my shape because have put on a bit weight lately, clean, hygienic, and no disease whatsoever.
I hail primarily from Northern India, but I have lived practically in every zone of the Indian Subcontinent.
Professional Life
I have worked as an Assistant Professor earlier in my life, and I'm currently pursuing a degree in Business from one of the most prestigious institutes in the country. I hold decent amount of certifications to enable me to work and earn myself and my family a decent living in India or any other place. I plan on finishing this degree and entering into a corporate job hopefully with a work-life balance so I can dedicate enough time to family.
Hobbies/Interests
I am someone who absolutely loves to read, and have an aim of building my/our own library in the place where we live in. Not big into self-help books, mostly do philosophy, fiction, classics, etc. Apart from reading, I love to cook and bake, and this is something I taught myself BEFORE COVID, not during the "khali hai toh lets cook" phase. I like going on drives (car and bike) at dusk, and would be lucky to get some company alongwith. While I wouldn't say I'm a very outgoing person, I enjoy music festivals, carnivals, and I've been told that I'm an excellent company to go shopping with (YES, that includes shopping at Sarojini). Where would I personally like to go if I'm new to a city? Heritage sites, Museums, and places with GOOD FOOD.
About Yourself?
A woman (no homophobia, just that I am clear with my sexuality) ideally within the age bracket ±8 years, I've mostly dated women older than me so not that big of a deal. Someone who is willing to keep up with all the dad-jokes and absolutely inhumane puns. Whether or not you choose to work is absolutely your choice. Clingy-ness is cute and adored. Open with her communication, honest with their partner, and loyalty. Race/Caste/Religion/Skin Colour absolutely do not matter.
What am I looking for?
Getting to know the person, letting that person grow on me and vice-versa, eventually forming a bond which would lead to a relationship. I consider myself pretty open-minded about things, and I communicate openly about things which I'm okay and not okay about.
Open to verification. Photos get photos. Message or Reddit Chat either works. I personally don't like either, but hey, your comfort takes precedence. Looking forward to hearing from you. Cheers!

2024.06.01 08:36 attractive_nuisanze Vehicular manslaughter and deeply grateful it's not me
I need to say thank you to this community. You have motivated me so much. I am 5 years sober. There's a case in the news lately where a drunk 42 year old woman is accused of killing her boyfriend by drunkenly backing into him with her SUV.
It has really resonated with me because I went to HS near where it took place and am about her age and was on that hard drinking track culturally. I also got into drunken fights like she did, and would get paranoid I was bring cheated on. I stopped drinking at 32, relapsed and stopped again at 34. She's probably been framed, but because she's such a heavy drinker it's really hard to prove. She has a broken taillight. A bunch of 40 year olds at a party were all so hammered they didn't even realize one of their friends was slowly dying in the front yard.
I did so much stupid stuff - like driving - when I was drinking and I easily could've had something like this happen. Either killed someone or had it pinned on me as everyone in my friend group knew I always blacked out. I had mornings where I'd check my car for scratches. I was such a shit and feel so much shame about that time in my life. I just feel overwhelming gratitude, just get down on my knees gratitude, that I was able to stop drinking before it ruined my life. Watching her trial I have just been overwhelmed with gratitude that it's not me in this situation. Like a "sliding doors" kind of feeling.
You all are incredible for working at not drinking.

2024.06.01 08:29 Possible-History-409 Was this Abuse? Or just a dumb toxic relationship? (TW: SA)
Hi! I tried writing it all out, but it was too long so I am going to try to keep bulletpoints and keep a timeline.
Junior year, 15 years old:
submitted by Possible-History-409 to CPTSD [link] [comments]
Junior year, 15 years old:
- Did not have friends til this point, met this one guy in class though
- first relationship, first kiss, first everything until one month later when he left me for someone else (also cheated on me)
- anxiety latched onto losing him, kept sending messages trying to get him back for two months until it was no contact for 4 months, he knows that i struggled with losing him though heavily
- I notice people he knows keeping tabs on me, I didnt realize until I sent him a message asking to get back together and one of them starts laughing at me + i think one of them took a photo in class but not sure, just suspicion
- Our classes are close so we see each other again
- he tried to message me before the year started though but went silent afterwards and backed out
- I offered to be friends with benefits, he agreed, the first night he wanted a BJ so I did a little bit but didn't want to do anymore
- he locked in his car until I agreed to date him again
- broke up the next day with him because the anxiety of worrying if he was cheating was too much
- tried to get him back the same night, it was the last time I was emotionally intimate with anyone like that as I confessed how I missed him, how it was hard moving on, etc. and he agreed to get back together
- we hooked up and he ghosted me (hard block and everything)
- he unblocks me and tries to get another hookup, i say no, he begs and I give in, it was just a hookup
- He does this again, begs for sex, I say no but give in
- at this point, my anxiety is kicking in hard, i block his accounts and he makes more to get to me anyways, it just becomes a chore to give in
- He calls up my phone at 3 am repeatedly, I say no but he threatens to make a scene, I give in, he is drunk and I am starting on antidepressants so I am nauseas, when I can't give him a BJ, he gets mad and berates me saying that he found "badder bitches" and telling me everything wrong with me
- When I tried to leave, he just said "leave like you always do" and I always wondered if it was his revenge for leaving the first night
- Cycle continues, I get anxiety seeing his name on the phone (like instant nausea and disassociation with my body)
- one time he threatens to knock my door down when i stood my ground and talked about reporting, saying he didn't care, deleted everything when I started taking screenshots, he just came back again the next day
- I keep going back though, mainly because he gave me validation and attention and it felt like he was the only person that saw me (at this point, no relatable friends and no family support system, he was the only person who shared my experiences)
- I moved to another side of town, all my friends left the state or just went silent, had to leave my job, i went to him for comfort for the first time because he was the only person I knew so i started embracing him
- we still had moments where I didn't want to but he did so I felt like I had to
- I tried dating but each time, I couldn't trust them; i was so afraid that they just wanted my body that I started treating it like that, which ended in only one night stands
- Met this new guy D that was his opposite in november, changed my usernames, we went on for three months until he left me because I had too much intimacy issues (emotional mainly) and didn't let him past my walls, so i tried to go back to the first guy
- first guy moved to cali, admitted to wanting to reach out to me (pretty sure he tried but couldn't find me anymore), we relied on communication and he would be pressing on for photos and video calls, one time he said that it'll be better next time because this time we will both want it this time, not just him
- until we had a conversation on how he really saw me
- I romantized it all as a complicated relationship, to a friendship, and I think that was just to protect myself from the truth because he admitted that he only cared about the sex with me, never beyond that. I asked if he ever felt guilty and he just said that he didnt, we were young and we didn't understand anything
- I ended it and he tried to make another account, I accepted but he didn't say anything. I think its either because there really isnt any use since he is in another state, but also maybe to see if I would take him back still.
