Or is it too late? Is this sub too large that the quality of comments are now uncontrollably bad?
I see so many memes, jokes, puns, get upvoted here. Maybe I’m crazy but I would much rather read more well thought out comments here even if I don’t agree with them. I never downvote comments/ideas that I don’t agree with as long as the author made an effort.
I understand that the larger a sub gets, the lower quality the average poster gets.
So is there anything this sub can do to reverse the comment quality decline? Or is it time to start a new sub that is smaller and more focused on real discussions?

Single Reveal Suspects:
1.) Wes
In March 2023, I theorized that Wes would be a “copycat” killer or red herring to the next villain/A (Tiktok: @thepllexpert) and I wouldn’t mind if I’m right. Many fans doubted Wes returning because he wasn’t listed on IMDB or discussed in interviews/articles but I just knew we hadn’t seen the last of him. Because he did return, I feel it has to be for a reason. He could be an accomplice to Bloody Rose but let’s just say he’s cosplaying and is the killer! The Liars have considered Bloody Rose as real person aka Rose Waters but have also thrown around the idea that it’s just someone cosplaying heusing content from the SS website.
Motive: Jealousy of Tabby’s talent, desire to make the perfect horror movie aka a real life one, believes she & Imogen are liars as Ms. Langsberry does, and possibly being related to Chip (brother? Cousin?).
Is it a bit obvious? Yeah. Does it make sense? Yeah. I like the fact that if he is BR, it’s a character we’ve known since last season. Someone like Jen or Johnny would feel like a letdown in that respect.
2.) Karen
While a twin switch is still possible, I don’t believe Kelly is BR because she was at the skate party when Mouse was attacked. She was also with Greg when Sandy was killed. So a switch wouldn’t make sense of that. Although far-fetched, Karen surviving the fall fits into the PLL tv series franchise. In OG PLL, Ali was not only hit in the head but buried alive and STILL LIVED. I’m thinking Sheriff Beasley managed to aid her in recovery and keep her hidden. In terms of survival, I don’t think Ms. B knows but maybe another relative is helping her? A significant other? Like Nick helping Ali in the books. In the teaser for upcoming episodes, it looks like Kelly gets attacked and left in the pool—dead? Not sure. But it would make sense if Karen killed her for taking her boyfriend and attempting to fill her shoes… More book inspiration. It would also make sense why Sandy was killed.. Maybe Karen is saving Greg for later? In the cartoon poster, Imogen is near a figure that has a thorn crown and bandages. We can assume it’s her mother although it doesn’t explain those attributes—maybe it symbolizes the fact that BR is someone we are to believe is dead.
Motive: Overall hatred towards the liars for the prank and possibly working for someone who is keeping her secret (S3 A?) This would be assuming she’s cosplaying as BR from SS content. She would need a mask—maybe Christian is her helper?
With that being said l, I still think she could be revealed as doing this all alone.
3.) Davie Twin
While I’ve made some valid connections and pointed out clues that make this a possibility I don’t see a motive. Noa asked in this week’s episode WHY is this happening to them. Clearly it’s significant and I don’t think Davie or a twin would have motive to be BR; however, I’m leaving her on the list.
4.) Ms. Langsberry (BORING option)
Motive: Believes Tabby & Imogen are lying about Chip and possibly has a horror obsession that inspired her son’s liking of the genre (the final tests BR is doing).
5.) Ms. B (BORING option)
Motive: Religious motive to kill “sinners.” She’s targeting the Liars because of the stunt they pulled on Karen and that their mothers are the reason Archie did the events of S1.
I have my eyes on Ash and Mouse but it would be impossible for them to be working alone and I don’t feel enough clues/scenes have suggested this. Yet ;)
Group Reveal Suspects:
1.) Ms. Langsberry with the help of Christian and/or Wes
Motive: Same as stated above for Wes & Christian. Ms. Langsberry is seeking revenge because she believes Tabby & Imogen lied in Chip. Scream 2 vibes.
2.) The significant others: Ash, Jen, Johnny, & Christian—something of the sorts…maybe Ash & Jen?
Motive: Exaggerated version of Scream 1 Billy Loomis reveal/OG PLL Toby reveal but with a Scream 5 angle. The significant others are horror obsessed teens trying to make their own real life horror movie. Possible Ash is Archie’s secret child?
3.) Ms. Beasley & PastoCult (BORING OPTION)
Motive: Religiously motivated killings of “sinners” to keep Millwood pure. Ms. Beasley is killing because she cracks after the loss of Karen & her husband. She also blames the Liars for these events.
4.) Karen + Mouse
Maybe I just want to see Mona + Red Coat vibes butttt it would be pretty cool. Mouse provides information for the SS Website or creates it, people start making content on there turning BR into a Slenderman-like myth with a cult following, Karen sees this and reaches out to Mouse anonymously. They’re working together but Mouse doesn’t the know the identity of BR.. She basically wanted a game and got one!
Motive: For Karen, same as stated above. For Mouse, basically the same reasons I knew she had something to do with the SS website. She’s obsessed with the Waters family, this is her trauma response as all the Liars have different ones, and it’s a sick effort to keep the group together.

My brother committed suicide less than a month ago. I just had his funeral yesterday, and it was the worst experience of my life. Please don't underestimate the hole you will leave behind and the pain you will cause your parents. Every time my dad hugs me, he cries and holds me like it's the last time he'll see me. I've never seen my dad this broken. As for my mom, I simply don't have words. I can't imagine what she's going through. When women go through pregnancy and childbirth, they come out of it as a completely different person. What do I mean by this? A nurse once told me that after childbirth, someone (either a nurse or doctor) would have to give the baby its shots. Of course, the baby would cry, and when the mothers saw this, they would completely break down. The nurse never understood or could relate, since babies cry all the time. But when she had her own child and saw her baby get her shots, she finally understood.
For the sake of your parents, dont. "Unless you've been through it yourself, you have no idea whatsoever"
Everyone you've ever formed a relationship with, whether it be a coworker, friend, bestfriend, family member, will at some point be asking themselves "What could I have done differently?" "Maybe if I had done this or that." And the most painful question of all, "Why?" Which can never be answered. They never got to have a proper goodbye, to them they just talked to you yesterday you seemed fine... And now you're gone, everything you ever were completely disappeared. They'll have to go through your stuff, your clothes, your wallet, your phone, your keys, your tv, your gaming console, your books, your art/posters, every little thing you left behind, they will have to go through. And everything you ever touched, sat in, wore, or used will remind them of you. Believe me when I say this is the hardest part. The funeral is the worst part, but the logistics of having to take care of your belongings is truly the hardest.
for the sake of everyone you've ever talked to, dont.
When I attended my brother's visitation I broke down the second I saw a glimpse of him. It's like I had to completely restart the mourning process. I cried so much by the end of the day it hurt to touch my eyes/nose from the constant friction and wear of wiping the tears and snot off my face. I couldn't eat much, and I still have trouble sleeping.
for the sake of giving those who love you another day to know you're alive, dont.
A possible solution? The military
No, I'm not a recruiter, and no, being in the military doesn't mean you'll see combat, the military has every job the civilian sector has. But that's besides the point. The military gave me a purpose, an adventure, stories to tell, but above all, friends who will be closer, if not just as close as your family. The camaraderie is what ultimately makes the military worth it. unless you've served you haven't made friends who will truly die for you. They will keep you alive and you will keep them alive. When people finally leave the military the most common struggle is that of finding friends like they did in the military. It's not all sunshine and flowers though, for every high there are 5 lows. You will be absolutely miserable some days, meet some of the worst people to walk this earth, and be treated like a second class citizen with less rights and freedoms you had before you joined. But the dude to your right and left, the barracks parties you'll have, the homie hook ups you'll give and receive will be what makes the experience worth it. I can guarantee this, if you decide to join, when you get out even if you do just one enlistment, you will leave a better person. While most people only do one enlistment, those who I have asked said they don't regret it.
Lastly, I was talking to a cop about my brother and he told me this "You know cops have a saying, after going to so many suicide calls It becomes clear that those who actually need help are already dead." Trust me when I say your friends would rather listen to you at your lowest than bury you and have to live with "What if...?"
From someone who would truly give anything to stop what happened, I love you all, don't think you won't be missed.

Hi Everyone, welcome to the long series of weekly Greytalk posts. You can literally ask about anything related to greyhounds, no matter how basic or complex. Here are the rules:

1. Nothing illegal or extremely objectionable.
2. No abuse. You can ask for more information, you can explain why you don't like something, but you can't abuse the poster.
3. Don't take medical advice from strangers on the internet without consulting your vet!
4. The rest of the Greyddit Rules still apply.

If you think of more ideas, PM the mods .

I just completed an interview that I applied for 1 month ago (it took them 3 weeks to reach out to me and 1 week to schedule an interview, during that time I already landed at another job that pays similarly with a bonus, but I decided to try out the interview anyway). They are a tech university.
I applied for marketing assistant but I was told I have to do graphic design too during the interview. They claimed that no 'graphic design' department exists in their university. So as a marketing assistant, I have to do marketing tasks, graphic design (poster, video, etc), manage social media, do campaigns, photography, etc. Just because I can do it (also stated in my resume) doesn't mean I have the responsibility to do it right? Since it isn't even included in jd, jr. Also after the interview I need to wait 1 week for them to confirm if I pass or not. So if I don't have a job I want a job at their place I need to wait 5 weeks just to see if I pass or not. During the interview, I was asked and tasked if I can demonstrate the design of the poster in 1 hour (when I Had no ducking idea what the design condition is: font, color pallet, etc) with little to no context and no resources (i have to find everything on google and all their logo is crappy that upscale ai doesn't even fix it (have do waste time do their logo via inkscape). They don't even tell me to bring my laptop or anything or mention anything about the graphic design so I have to wait for them to get me a desktop with photoshop.
Also is using Canvas consider a design skill now? I was asked if I could design via Canvas, I don't use Canvas a lot but from what I know it just drags and drops existing templates with little to no input compared to Photoshop, AI, etc. Is this a thing? Note: This is from a third-world country, and English isn't my first language.

Hey, I'm not a big Reddit poster and am not even sure if this is appropriate to post here, but I just needed to get this off my chest. I'm using a throwaway account, and plan to check back in later. Trigger Warnings: ED, Mental Health, Stress
To begin, I (M, early 20s), have struggled with my body image for a long time. In year 9, I'd been placed on a fairly new medication for my ADHD that had small amounts of Estrogen in its compound. When I was on this medication I'd gained nearly 6 stone in just about 1 month. This caused me to become incredibly uncomfortable in my own skin, and began a many years battle with disordered eating. This was pretty consistent and irregular over the past several years, but has finally culminated into a full on problem.
Two weeks ago, I was prescribed some new medication for my ADHD, my therapist and psychiatrist both warned me that this can suppress my appetite so I need to make sure I still eat. Instead, I allowed this to entice me, and as I began the medication, I restricted my diet. Now it's been 2 weeks, I've lost 16 pounds, and have plateaued. It's been wracking my brain and causing me to struggle with my image even further. In week one, I'd lost about 1 stone, and was feeling great. I avoided my cravings, I'd power through and distract myself from them. I wasn't too hungry and was so happy to see my weight drop. Week two, I began to plateau, in the first couple days I drop a pound or two, but now I've been inconsistently waivering between weights. I've tried restricting my calorie intake further, and I've even tried doubling my daily exercise. However, the scale hardly budges, and I'm now struggling internally all the more.
Over the past two weeks, I've wanted to ask for help numerous times, but I instead share my weight loss accomplishment with people and am celebrated for my success. My friends have no clue how I've been straining my body, and my therapist even commended me on the weight loss and willpower to manage my diet more healthily, since I told her half-truths about resisting cravings and choosing more nutritionally-substantial meal options. The past three days I've been hit with some sort of illness like a flu. I thought this could finally help me hit a lower weight, bringing a shift to my plateau. Instead, it's made me lose my energy quicker when working out, and made me struggle even more with cravings. Today I almost broke over a craving for a fresh muffin from my favorite local cafe, or even seeing my friends who went out for ice cream and desperately missing the cooling treat. While neither of these are healthy options, I know they were comfort foods and I almost told my partner that I've been restricting my diet so that I could just have someone understand, and we could go get something to eat. However, the idea of stopping the restrictions terrifies me because I cannot regain this weight. I keep convincing myself that if I could just get down to 11 stone, I'd be ready to ease back in to my cravings and comfort foods as occasional treats. However, I'm going on Holiday with my partner's family next month, and I desperately want to lose weight, viewing the holiday as my "cheat day" of sorts. The fear of remaining at my current weight is a massive feeling of defeat and hopelessness, but I still miss the comfort of food.
I guess the reason for this post is just to share my struggles with somebody because it's so hard to keep all of this to myself, and I'm still not sure if I'm ready to get help, or willing to continue torturing myself in this way. I apologize if this is too much, and I really don't want to upset anybody. Thanks for any of you who did read, and I may update this someday once I've had the time to consider things.

I posted a link on my last post that wasn’t the correct one. It was supposed to be the baseball roster with the High School names on to show who played who. Not the original Snapchat posters photo. I am sorry I didn’t check before posting
I’m not good with technology, and I’m not very well right now - my intention wasn’t to villainise a kid?!?! I have no idea where that one comment was coming from
I just woke up from a short sleep and saw the notifications and I was confused. Then clicked my link and my stomach fell out my mouth
I am sorry for posting that particular link. I had it saved in my phone clipboard and used the wrong one. Lesson learned. I have deleted the post
It was just something that was on my mind for a year about who the original poster was and I struggle to let things go in my mind if something makes no sense. This whole time I thought the GM person was maybe a fake name so they could get around an NDA or something. Now I know that isn’t the case
Thank you to everybody who knew I wasn’t trying to be bad. I appreciate the kindness

Hello, As you can tell from the title, I will be attending a midget wrestling tournament next month. I want to make a sign to bring that is both offensive and tastefully funny . For context, I am 6’6”. Hoping you fine people can help Me out with some ideas of what to write on a standard poster board size sign. Thanks

After some of the recent posts here (like the poster who went down the homeschooling Reddit rabbit hole) I got to thinking about how parents often choose to homeschool because they don't like the system, society, etc. I remember growing up my mom always made it sound like school was terrible and wouldn't teach you anything, and homeschooling was great and it was good to be weird and it made us special to be anti-establishment.
I was re-evaluating this idea, of homeschooling to stick it to the man or whatever, and realized how stupid that is.
First of all, it accomplishes very little in terms of creating meaningful change in society. (To that end, it is less likely that parents do it for this reason; rather, it's to stand out and seem special and interesting.) If you truly oppose public school morally, I believe you should be taking action to create change if your moral stance is to be considered sincere. For example, there are some truly wonderful teachers out there that make a difference in students' lives. They stand to make more of a difference teaching many students over the years than one parent teaching a handful of their own children and that's that. In modern society it's not as common anymore for one parent to stay at home, both parents often need to work, so it's not like homeschooling is an ideology that spreads that effectively. Now, I truly doubt there are many parents that genuinely homeschool to create change--I think it's for purely selfish reasons, but the excuse gives them the moral high ground that they never make use of except to bolster their own image. So it more got me thinking what a missed opportunity it is. What a totally useless way of rebelling against a perceived wrong in society.
Second of all, school isn't just about education. Like it or not, society functions in a certain way that isn't natural, but it is what it is at this point in time. You have to follow schedules, know how to interact with others, and go with the flow of society--regardless of if you agree with it or not, if you want a job, to go to university, have successful relationships, etc., it is 100% necessary to have or develop a certain set of skills for the society you live in. These are conditioned in school and continue into the workplace.
It doesn't make ANY sense to deprive children of their opportunity to be in society and give them a chance to develop those skills, just because you disagree with society. Like would it not be more effective to let them be exposed to these things, learn these skills, and then explain your values? Say "This is what I think about XYZ, I don't like it, but unfortunately that's the cost of functioning in society." Exposure to culture is so so so important to being able to build relationships. This is where the "language" of socializing is. I don't know how often I get into issues with people because they expect me to say and do certain things to communicate--to me it means one thing (usually innocuous), to them they see it completely differently; the misunderstandings in my life are constant.
There are many things you could do as a parent to mitigate the damage of the system, so many ways you could support your child, share your wisdom, teach them to think critically, and how to function in society without losing their identity or falling into the worst trappings of adolescence.
Almost like if you were a good parent, it wouldn't matter if the system sucked. You would be able to counteract it by having a good relationship with your child.
Yep, I'll go that far. I think some parents homeschool to avoid parenting. They suck at it or don't want to, like mine didn't, so they would rather keep their children at home where they could control everything and limit any outside influence so they could minimize the amount of parenting they had to do.
The only thing homeschooling to stick it to the man does, is set your child up to fail. I'm 31 and I still feel like I'm trying to catch up to my peers. I've done an enormous amount of work trying to make up for what I didn't learn, and mourning the experiences I will never, ever be able to have. All homeschooling did was make my life more difficult.

Since the Klarna CEO talked so proudly about how they layed off a significant amount of staff of their marketing team i thought about it for a bit. This is an opionon feel free to disagree or maybe point out any flaws...:
Id argue the majority of graphic design was never about technical execution. Obviously that depends a bit on the style and medium one is working with but the challenge with designing a poster is more to find a good layout and composition than painting a pretty picture.
Same as Logo Design, I love Illustrator but if id compare it to a game engine, photoshop or a 3D Modelling package or nearly every other tool i could think of, Illustrator is the fastest to pick up and easiest to get good at. Main barrier is actually having an idea, not really the execution...
So the main challenge would be to get a good taste, idea, sense of what your doing, not to learn a technical skillset. The reason a marketing team usually consists of business people as well as graphic designers is cause the business people develop the strategy and the designers function as some form of translator.
For me the this means in conclusion:
Firing a section of a graphic design team will seem smart in the short term, but since the main job of designer isnt just technical in nature and rather "communicative" (for a lack of a better term) i dont really see business people using the marketing data to put that into an AI. If Illustrator is the barrier, Midjourney wont be helpfull.
All of that is under the assumption of course the design matters. Content generation for social media will probably get handled differently...

Hey guys. Long time stalker, first time poster. I’m looking to see what people’s ideas are for making an extra $500ish a month to just make things a little easier. I’m willing to combine multiple ideas to reach this goal!
A few things I do well:
I can crochet really well and have sold my work on and off for a few years. But it’s time consuming and I find it hard to get people to buy handmade items for their actual value. So this has been hit or miss for me (but open to ideas on how to improve! i just sell on FB… i’ve tried Etsy and whatnot but I can’t seem to get a hand on the whole advertising trick)
I’m a writer (a journalist to be specific). I freelance for other news publications when I can, but an extension of my current job isn’t exactly what I’m looking for.
I am also pretty fit so not opposed to physical labour.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

(Reposting because I messed up adding the photos!) Finally reached a place where I feel like my farm is sharable! The second image is from July 2022 and the first image is today. I stopped playing for a while when all I needed was the Gold Clock but came back to it with 1.6.
I unexpectedly got really into tiger slimes. Every slime hutch and two of the sheds are filled with tiger slimes (though they don't seem to reproduce in the shed very much). I also made a little Junimo themed tiger slime zoo next to the sheds! I considered making it a maze but maybe that's my next little project. I started breeding them in the Cindersnap Forest too.
I have six pets with achievement hats and I put a hat on my alien scarecrow and horse too. The pets have a little park where I used tea saplings as fencing. I also didn't feel complete without a blue and gold chicken. Plus, I FINALLY figured out how to get a duck in the water thanks to a lot of the tips on here :)
Surprisingly, I still only have one auto-petter. They are so elusive... I also haven't planted banana and mango trees here (only on Ginger Island with my Sweet Gem Berry farm) but I think I'll put those in the corners above the bee houses. There are actually lightning rods on my farm but they are hidden behind the obelisks! I also had crab pots on the bottom edge of the lower lake but I removed them to see if the ducks would jump in and they did!
Honestly, I wasn't feeling any of the bachelors but Elliot really grew on me during our marriage. He always says the sweetest romantic things! We have two kids now and I'm very happy with him.
My hair is black but I used the Magic Hair Gel so that's why it looks like that! The outfit is not my original but I got it from Emily at the Desert Festival and I really liked it.
Inside my house is hardly decorated but I did make the attic into a movie room with the six movie posters that Elliot likes. I also made an aquarium room and little library but these are works in progress.
Any feedback on my farm design? Would love ideas for the aquarium and movie rooms too to make them more themed as well! I wish I could take concessions from the movie theater and display them there.
Thanks for letting me share and reading this far! I started a new Forest Farm and I'm really excited for what new ideas come out of it!

(it's hard to draw with a mouse) Starting with probably the smallest and shortest one: Xero's Grave. The bottom hieroglyph that looks like xero's face is ''Xero'', and then the middle and top ones together mean ''Is cursed''. Making it ''Xero is cursed''(full english game text: Cursed are those who turn against the King).
Now for Marmu's Totem. The bottom left one means ''Honor'', the bottom right one means ''Guardian'', the middle one means ''Root'', and the top one means ''Leaf''. Making it ''We honor the guardian of root and leaf''(full english game text: Protector of root and leaf, we honor you).
And then, Elder Hu's Tomb. The far right one(the three lines) means ''We'', the one after that(the circle with a line as well as a dot below it) means ''Remember'', and then the final one(the two lines, a straight line and then a circle) means ''Elder''. Making it ''We shall always remember the Elder''(full english game text: We remember the Elder).
Next, one of the bench signs. The bench obviously means ''Bench'', the key-looking symbol means ''Unlock'', and the circle next to it means ''Geo/Payment''. Making it ''Bench unlocked upon payment''
And then, the first Pilgrim's Way sign. The exclamation mark-thing in the very middle is ''Attention'', the shell piece with a line next to it is ''Pilgrims'', the thing next to the exclamation mark(that kind of looks like ''Remember'' on Hu's tomb) is ''Travel'', the three dots next to Travel is ''Through/Onward'', the lines below Through is ''Verdant Wilds'', the lines below Verdant Wilds is ''Fungal Groves'', the ladder thing below Fungal Groves is ''Descend'', the shell piece right next to ''Descend'' is unknown, all the buildings are obviously ''City'' with the crown above them being ''Capital'', the arm-looking line holding a dot is ''Wish'', the thermometer thing above Wish is ''Grant'', the big thing next to Grant is ''Reveal'', and finally the two lines and a dot above Reveal is ''Truth''. Making it ''Attention pilgrims, travel through Verdant Wilds and Fungal Groves, then descend to the Capital City. There, all wishes shall be granted, all truths revealed''(full english game text: Travellers of Hallownest, descend through verdant wilds and fungal groves to the city at this kingdom's heart. There all wishes shall be granted, all truths revealed).
Next, the final Pilgrim's Way sign. The exclamation mark in the middle is ''Attention'', the shell piece with a line next to it is ''Pilgrims'', the three dots are ''Through/Onward'', the thing next to Attention and Onward(that looks like Remember on Hu's tomb) is ''Travel'', the three lines below Onward are ''Verdant Wilds'', the other lines below Verdant Wilds are ''Fungal Groves'', the ladder thing below Fungal Groves is ''Descend'', the buildings and crown are ''Capital City'', the arm line holding a dot is ''Wish'', the thermometer thing is ''Grant'', the thing beside Grant is ''Reveal'', and finally the two lines and a dot is ''Truth''. Making it ''Attention, here ends the Pilgrim's Way. Proceed onward, travellers, for you have braved Verdant Wilds and Fungal Groves, then descend to the Capital City. Soon, you shall witness all wishes granted, and all truths revealed''.
Have no idea: every single Higher Being Lore Tablet, as well as the Wanderer's Journal.
In progress: Monomon Tablets, Lurien's Last Words, ''The great gates have been sealed'', the sign right outside Lemm's Shop, all signs within and outside Millibelle's Bank, random signs in stag stations and City of Tears, Marissa's Poster, and the signs leading to the White Palace's Ruins.
Will update this post with new translations(also im going to make a foundation post for a ''Silkenscript'', featuring pictures of all the shown signs and lore tablets in Silksong).

To say Donnie was having a bad day would be an understatement. Waking up he could immediately feel the invisible weight on his shoulders, heavier than his battle shell could ever be. Unwanted anxiety built in his chest. Everything was too loud, The running water of the sewers, His brother's excited shouting's, his own feet padding across the floor. It’s all too much. Donnie hates being this way, wishing he could be like his brothers. The small things like texters, sounds, and lights don’t seem to bother them the way they do him.

At an early age, he realized he wasn’t like his brothers, he was more anxious, easily annoyed, and sensitive to his surroundings. After Splinter pulled some strings with the humans to find out what was wrong with his son, he was given the diagnosis. High-functioning autism. His world seemed to be teetering on the edge, always about to fall. The day will sometimes get too much for him, inevitably causing him to shut down. Today was one of those days.

Curled into a ball on his purple bed, the soft shell rocked back and forth slightly. The lights were off, casting shadows on his thin shaking body. He wanted his weighted blanket. No, he needed it. Needed the grounding weight on his shoulders. But the blanket was on the living room couch, meaning leaving his room. His dark little sanctuary, worse could mean running into his dad. His father never seemed to understand Donnie when he was like this, always making things so much worse. He could text one of his brothers and ask them to get it, but just the mere idea of the small screen's harsh lights burning into his retinas made him want to cry. God, why is he such a child?

Reluctantly pushing himself off the cushioned heaven the soft shell threw on his signature purple hoodie, a small weight lifted from his shoulders when he brought up the hood. But it isn’t enough, he still needs the blanket. The laughter of Mikey and Leo echoed through the sewer, making Donnie flinch. The two sounded like they were playing a game or something. The idea of leaving the room with the noises outside made him want to curl into a ball again. Walking to his dresser Donnie grabbed his noise-canceling headphones, they were baby purple, unlike his signature hue. They were a Christmas present from Mikey last year, painted with beautiful, calming lavender flowers. A small smile spread across his lips, thinking of the thoughtfulness behind his little brother's gift. Donnie placed them on top of his hood, taking a deep breath, he opened his door, braving the outside world.

Bright. Everything was too bright. The overhead lights burned, and pulling his hood over his eyes the mutant speedily walked to the living room. He’ll just grab his weighted blanket from the living room couch, and go back to his dark quiet room. Easy. But rounding the corner to the living room he watched his ‘easy’ plan shatter. Of course, Splinter was watching TV, why hadn’t he even considered that? He is supposed to be the smart one. Stupid foolish child, the genius ridiculed himself. He can’t even do a simple task right.

“What do you need? I’m trying to watch my show.” Splinter's irritated tone broke through his thoughts, he hadn’t realized he had been hovering in the doorway fidgeting with his hoodie strings. The rat’s eyes never left his TV show. The teen opened his mouth to speak, to say something, anything, but nothing came out. Splinter's eyes were on him now, only making it harder for Donnie to find his voice. “Purple, use your words, you are far too old for this.” Child. He knows Splinter’s right. He is behaving like a child.

“B-Blanket.” His voice was sore from going unused, but he mustn’t have been as loud as he felt only receiving an irritated groan from his father. “Purple, I asked you a question.” Louder? His voice already felt like an echoing megaphone in his brain, if he was any louder surely his eardrums would blow. The softshell came to a realization, where was his weighted blanket? He left it on the chair his father now resided in. Had he moved it? His back felt bare and exposed despite the hoodie that rested on his shell. The mutant rat seemed to realize he wasn’t going to get more from his son, getting up from his spot he stood on the couch, motioning for Donnie to come over. This is what the teen feared. He didn’t want to have this conversation, he couldn’t have this conversation right now without breaking, and breaking would make his father even madder. Splinter Mad is bad, it’s loud and wrong, and it hurts, and-

“I haven’t got all day Donatello.” The tech wize flinched at his angry tone, and slowly made his way to his dad, now standing in front of the rat. Who, while standing on the chair, was now around a foot taller than his waist. The older man bore daggers into Donnie's face, but the purple teen couldn’t look him in the eyes like he wanted. He can’t stand that face, especially right now. Splinter iconic ‘why are you so broken’ face. “Can you even hear me in those things?” The ex-movie star asked, tapping the side of his noise-canceling headphones with his claw. The taking of his nails pierced through his ear, like a hammer nailing his brain, making tears well in his eyes. “It’s rude to listen to music while someone is talking to you Purple.” Grabbing the headphones he ripped them off of Donnie's head.

the buzz of the projector,

the hum of the lights,

Splinters breathing,

the steady dripping of water from pipes,

The laughter of his brothers in the other room,

The harsh world rushed his ears at once.

It’s wrong,

Wrong,

Wrong,

Wrong.
He could still see splinters scowl through the blurry tears that now flowed freely from his eyes. Washing his face with shame. “Quit this tantrum Purple, your being dramatic.” His harsh words were like drums beating into Donnie’s skull. He wishes his brothers were here, he wishes his father would stop. He wishes everything would stop, wishing the world would stop spinning long enough for him to catch up. The soft shell hadn’t realized he started flapping his hands till the rat grabbed his wrists. The touch burned his skin, causing a stifled cry to escape his lips. The father scolded him, but his words were lost on deaf ears. Donnie’s lungs burned just as badly as the touch on his wrists, breathing becoming fast and choppy. He wanted to beg, to ask Splinter to stop, but only sad whines escaped his throat. Everything was muffled as if cotton had been placed in Donnie’s ears. A second voice? Someone else was talking over the rat dad now. Who is that?

“Don’t grab-… -dad! You- …. -Help!” Only bits of their conversation could be made out through the ringing in his ears like they were bobbing in the water, pieces being drowned by waves. “You don’t-... I’m your father you-...” They’re arguing, the volume of their bickering is too much. It’s so wrong. He rips his three-fingered hands from the older mutant's grip, placing his palms over his ears, eyes squinting shut as if that’ll be enough to block out the world. The vibrating of footprints could be felt, dancing across the floor and traveling to his own feet, There small and light, Splinter’s, he left the room. Is it safe now? His thoughts were interrupted by a hesitant hand on his shoulder, Donnie’s tired green eyes shooting open. Frantic thin pupils searched for a threat, only to be greeted with blurry watery vision. The intruder redacted their hand, whispering soft apologies.

Throwing his shame-ridden tears he could see a familiar shade of red. “R-Raph?” The older brother seems slightly more relieved hearing his voice. His lips are moving, but nothing gets past the ringing in Donnie's ears. The leader's other hand that hadn’t been on his shoulder came into view holding something… purple? His headphones. The younger brother removed his palms from his head, grabbed them greedily, and frantically put them back on. The agonizing sounds of the world faded, leaving Donnie in silent bliss. The purple ninja released a breath he hadn’t realized he’d been holding.

“Better?” Raph asked, quite to not trigger Donnie, but loud enough to be heard through his headphones. He nods slightly, whipping his tears. “Would you like to go back to your room?” Donatello thinks to himself, he doesn’t want to be out in the open anymore. But he also doesn’t want to be alone, his room that once was dark and comforting now felt suffocating. Fidgeting with his hoodie strings again restlessly, Donnie shakes his head no. “Oh.” The leader seemed taken aback by his response. Rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly in thought. “Ok, where would you like to go?” Leaning forward Donnie let his head fall, resting it on Raph’s plastron. The leader’s poster went rigid for a second, clearly surprised. But quickly recovered, wrapping his arms around his soft shell brother. “My room?” Giving a chirp of affirmation the purple mutant looked up to his brother, braving the burning of the overhead lights.

“Wei-... b-blanket.” The distressed turtle mumbled, hoping the other would understand. ‘Wha- Oh your weighted blanket?” Looking to the side Raph pointed with his eyes, hands never leaving the embrace. “Saw it over by dad’s chair… On da floor.” Raph ended with an annoyed growl. Donnie doesn’t miss the disdain in his voice. The purple mutant was very particular about his stuff, all his things having a particular place. Raph must have pierced together that the rat threw it to the ground. He doesn’t like that it’s been on the dirty floor, the thought making him squeamish, but the need for the comforting weight out weighed the disgust. Raph left the embrace to get it for him, Donnie immediately missing the contact.

Why is he acting like this? Making Raph deal with all this, he doesn’t deserve to have to babysit him. “Mmh being childish…” His words slurred as Raph threw the blanket over his soft shell. He hadn’t meant to say it, he kind of just slipped. The larger turtle’s expression turned sad and concerned, hands landing on Donnie’s shoulders squeezing reassuringly. “Don, don’t listen to pop. You ain’t being childish.” Donatello didn’t even get the chance to process the words before he was pulled into a hug again. He doesn’t understand. Why does he put up with me? Why do any of his brothers stick around when they constantly have to deal with his sorry ass.

“Now common, let's go to my room.” The red leader said with a sad smile, lightly swinging his arm around the younger shoulder, leading his distressed sibling down the sewers and to his room. Donnie isn’t sure how to feel anymore, torn between his father and brother's words, being pulled between self-hatred and love. He can feel the protective brother's eyes on him, making him slightly uncomfortable, but he knows Raph isn’t judging him, his eyes full of nothing but concern and love. But knowing doesn’t stop his racing thoughts from coming up with alternative motives. Pushing the curtain to his room aside, Raph quickly hit the light switch bathing the room in shadows, making way for his fairy lights. Casting a soothing pink light over his bed and many stuffed animals.

Donnie made his way to the bed without a word, leaving a concerned Raph behind in the doorway. Curling into a ball he lets the purple weighted blanket engulf him, the many fluffy pillows and plushies squishing him making the invisible weight on his back feel lighter. Hiding his eyes behind his weighted fortress so the softshell can’t look at his brother's sadness. A dip in the bed told him Raph took a seat beside his curled-up body. Is he mad? Annoyed? Is he taking up too much space on the bed? Is-

“Don, deep breaths.” Oh, he was breathing too fast again. Damit. He can’t even breathe without being reminded how broken he is. “Donnie you are not broke.” The leader's sad voice ran out, breaking the fragile atmosphere. Shit, he spoke out loud again, didn’t he. Braving the world again the mutant peaked out of his cocoon, making eye contact with a concerned Raph. A sad sigh escapes the leader's lips, vision down casting to his own lap. “Listen Dee, I'm sorry Dad says those things to ya.” His eyes meet Donnie's again with determination like he knows for a fact what he’s saying is fact. “But none of it is true.”

How does he look so sure of himself? How can he say that with such confidence? “But…” The turtle in the blanket paradise starts, words escaping before they can be realized to the world. “Donnie you got autism.” He flinches slightly at the term as if what his brother had said had physically hurt. “Having a disability doesn't make you any different than us Dee, you aren't broken.” Donnie wants to yell and shake Raph till he gets it, till he understands what seems so obvious to him. “But dad knows I-I do… And he still says and does stuff that hurts me. So it must be true. Right?” God he hates this, The concerned sadness on the snapping turtle's face. He hates it when people give him those faces. He never knows what they mean. He’s figured out splinter sure and Mikey is easy to read always wearing his heart on his sleeve. But for Donnie Raph’s mystery.

He scooches across the bed closer to Donnie, closing the distance between them. “Can I touch you?” After giving him a curt nod Raph gently holds the one hand peeking out of his blanket pile, holding him firmly, as if Donnie were a balloon and holding him too light might cause him to float away. “Donatello, Dad… Dad isn’t exactly a great parental figure.” The purple mutant couldn’t help the small sad chuckle that escaped at Ralph's words, no real humor behind it. “He doesn’t really understand. That isn’t an excuse though, and it ain’t fair I know.” Moving his thumb in a circle on his little brother's palm to help ground him, the snapping turtle thinks carefully about his words before continuing.

“But, no matter how your feeling or what he says, you’ll always have your brothers to catch ya. You’ll always have me.” Donnie hadn’t realized he was crying again till tears dripped off his checks and onto Raphs hand that held his own. He uncurls and sits up, sitting beside Raph, the action feeling easier then before, lighter. “P-Promise?” The red turtle smiled proudly before opening his arms, an invitation. “Promise.” Partially throwing himself onto Raph he let’s himself break. Donnie knows he’ll always be there to help pick up the pieces, to help make a world that feels so wrong, just a little more right.
Roses are red, 🥀 Violets are blue, 🔵 Donnie had autism,♾️ And his brain is like stew, 🍲

Hi all, first time poster here. Long story short I'm a martial artist who's wanted a tattoo since I was a kid, though I could never settle on an idea for a single tattoo.
That is until about a year ago when I realized that an arm sleeve might be right up my alley. Before my hopes get too high I'm wondering how a tattoo would hold up long term for someone like myself. My arms get quite the beating (lots of shin to forearm contact, mostly on my inner and outer forearms). We also do conditioning where we hit our forearms together repeatedly to build up toughness (hurts as much as it sounds until you get used to it).
If anyone has any insight on how a tattoo would age with that type of abuse, or if there's particular styles I should avoid in those areas (I also plan to take a break from training until it's completely healed). I've tried doing some research on what repeated bruising would do to a tattoo, but nearly all the results I found were bruising as a result of a tattoo. Thanks for reading, and any help is appreciated!

Hello all.
It DOES seem that this question has been asked before, but there's been no clear guidance on how or what to do and I was hoping I could write a post to iron that out. WireGuard split horizon on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
I'm running Linux Mint 21.3 on a client workstation connected to my personal WireGuard server running on my Windows 10 home machine and it is NOT sharing internet, and I don't particularly care for it to. I just need my client machines - be they Linux, Mac, or Windows, to continue being able to use their local internet connection for applications like Firefox and Slack and what-have-you, while forwarding packets only relevant to the WireGuard network over the WireGuard VPN.
I'm convinced that this involves some level of route prioritization, but I'm uncertain. I'll share some configs:

Configs

I've obviously sanitized these configs, both the IP addresses as well as the DNS names, and the public/private keypairs are not matching - I just generated some randomly using the wg genkey and wg genkey wg pubkey commands on a different Linux server for the purposes of example.

Server Config

# WireGuard VPN [Interface] ListenPort=51820 PrivateKey=EFsjZECfHyxsLYPVMWkFSdpRdOc8sPjQE3t6mzu9D0U= # Client [Peer] PublicKey=RmOxYFtrnGnQ8wY4aq1oreVywMthyLqPYFR86mov1Tg= AllowedIPs=172.16.100.2 PersistentKeepalive=25 

Client Config

# Client 1 [Interface] Address=172.16.100.2 DNS=8.8.8.8,1.1.1.1 PrivateKey=GMGMYtNcJASAmXFH0NYFsYQJ5Hg2INaNiil58RuefFo= # WireGuard VPN [Peer] Endpoint=server.example.com:51820 AllowedIPs=192.168.1.0/24, 172.16.100.0/24 PublicKey=o1yLum13PsheaZOsfphCETvmlYesJSAndp7eyoweFzM= 

Now, when I connect with a client (such as my Linux Mint 21.3 workstation), I am unable to browse the internet with my local browsers or anything - which tracks, clearly my VPN is taking command and moving to the top of the routing table here or something, but I'm not sure how to get it to stop doing that.
In this case, I am trying to get any traffic that is aimed at the 192.168.1.x and 172.16.100.x subnets to traverse over the VPN - but everything else should just follow my operating system's standard network connection settings, which should make applications like Slack, Firefox, etc. work. Trouble is, I haven't the faintest idea of how to do that - or more importantly, how to make those changes persist every time I deactivate and then reactivate my WireGuard connection.
Again, it would be nice to know how to do this on Linux, Mac, AND Windows - and I'd be happy to to document it all in this post and/or a GitHub Gist for the internet's posterity, so any old nerd can just come by and swap out the values with his network and be off to the races.
