Boys: Harold, Zee
Episode 13: Lies, Cries, and One Big Prize
"Previously, on Total Drama. Zee, Scarlett, and Harold created their own challenges!"
"Zee went with balancing, which bit big time for Scarlett and gave Harold the shock of his life."
"Harold's treetop race was more entertaining than a sawing monkey. Surprisingly, Scarlett won the challenge, and Harold fell from grace and the trees."
"So, it all came down to Scarlett's challenge: a trivia challenge about the former competitors. Zee didn't have too good a start, but quickly earned himself a spot in the finale."
"It all came down to a final question, and one that Scarlett ironically got wrong. Bye-bye!"
The montage ended with a flash, showing a close-up of Chris in front of a bare rock wall. "Down to two from three," he said, holding up three fingers but lowering one of them, "cause now we're Scarlett-free. But," he lowered another finger, "it'll still be neat to see who gets beat," he punched his open palm. "So! Grab a seat. There's one million bucks on the line," the shot cut to a robotic arm lifting up the open suitcase full of prize money against a radiant orange-and-gold background. "Iiiiiit's finale time!" Chris said as the shot cut back to him.
"On Total! Drama! Paaaaaahkitew Island!"
(Theme Song)
A deep note played as the episode opened on the bunker, the sky dark and the crickets chirping. A deep sigh issued forth from it, and the camera soon cut inside to show Harold tossing and turning in his bed. He got up and grabbed a pillow from the bed above him and closed his eyes with a smile, only to open them and sigh again.
Confessional: Harold
"It's no use," Harold sighed in the confessional. "I just can't get to sleep. I'm too anxious about tomorrow. I don't know if Zee is having the same trouble as I am..."
“It’d be cool if I win the last challenge. Just think about how much better my life would be. No more wedgies, wet willies, and toilet face plunges, my peers would respect me more as a million dollar winner, and I can invest the money in a way that’ll make me more than the show has to afford.”
Confessional Ends
The static cut away to show Harold turning his back to the camera with another sigh, then the shot cut to the inside of the barn to show Zee sleeping peacefully and snoring rather loudly.
Confessional: Zee
"This is a high stress situation, but I’m able to get some rest in order to ease it," Zee explained. "Even if it’s a million dollar competition against Harold."
Confessional Ends
An angelic sound played as the shot returned to a close-up of Harold, his eyes blinking blearily to sleep as the light of dawn streamed in through a window high on the wall above him.
Just as he and the music seemed to reach a peaceful rest, the wail of an airhorn pierced the walls and forced Harold back into wakefulness, his eyes snapping open wide and bloodshot. "Harold and Zee," Chris announced over the camp loudspeakers, the screen splitting in two with a shot of the good vibe guy blearily waking up sliding in on the left. "Meeting area, now!"
The scene flashed to Zee and Harold standing before Chris in the open meeting area. "Yes! Today, I fire one of you from a cannon," he greeted excitedly. "And then start my vacation."
"Plus you'll hand one of us a million dollars," Harold added with a grin.
"I haven't forgotten, dude," Chris said in annoyance. "I'm just focusing on the parts that bring me the most joy. Okay?"
"What's the challenge?" Zee asked. "Is it physical or have you decided on something else?"
Harold grinned. "Total Drama finales are always physical," he said. "And while I am classified as a brain, I'm afraid I have more fighting skills than you."
"Don't get too overconfident just yet," Zee warned. "I might surprise you."
"If I may continue?" Chris interrupted, his annoyed expression soon dropping. "Your final challenge is so demanding, the lawyers insisted each of you get a helper. Ehh," he shrugged, "it's not a horrible idea. I mean," the shot cut to the finalists as they watched him, "maybe they'll be able to help us find your bodies!" Zee and Harold shared a brief but wary look. "So, which of the past contestants would you like as a helper?" Chris asked, stepping over to them.
Confessional: Zee
"I'd prefer Julia," Zee told the outhouse camera. "She's really rad, and we work well together. But I wouldn't be too upset over having anybody else as a helper. Well, except for Scarlett."
Confessional: Harold
"It's no surprise that I'd prefer Leshawna over anyone else," Harold confessed. "She can handle her own battles and objectively speaking, she is the most physically attractive girl this season. I just wish that we were able to talk to each other before she left."
Confessionals End
"I choose Leshawna," Harold said with a smile as the static cut away and a triumphant tune played...for a few brief moments.
Chris chuckled. "'Choose'?" he repeated, laughing again. "Nooo, no no no no no no no...," he told the finalists.
"But you just asked us-," Zee pointed out in confusion.
"I know," Chris conceded, "I asked you who you wanted, I did that to be mean." He laughed again as the sound of squeaky wheels approached. "Your helpers-" the camera pulled back to show Chef pushing a large widescreen monitor up to the host on a cart- "will be selected thusly! When you press this button," he held up a remote control with a single red button on it, "the possible helpers will flash across the screen." A game show jingle played as the shot cut to the monitor, now showing the portraits of the eliminated contestants rolling down across the screen as if on a reel. "Whoever's face it stops on, is your helper."
The reel stopped on an image of Scarlett after drinking Juggy Chunks. "What happens if we land on someone we don't want?" Harold asked.
"You each get one chance to pass and spin again," Chris answered with a wide grin as the sound of a helicopter grew louder. "And just to make things even more interesting," he added, growing more and more giddy with each moment, "I've brought all the helpers out to watch!"
"RELEASE ME, YOU CRETIN! I DEMAND IT!" shouted a familiar voice.
Harold and Zee gasped as the music spiked, and the shot cut to the same dual-rotor military helicopter that Chris and Chef had taken shelter in during the island's malfunctioning as it flew in overhead.
Then the camera panned downward to show the twelve eliminated campers dangling under it tied up in ropes – Max on the far left, then Amy, Sammy, Duncan, Ella, B, Lightning, Scarlett, Julia, DJ, Leshawna, and finally Jo on the far right.
"What's the big idea, McLean?!" Jo shouted hatefully, the shot cutting in close to her and Leshawna.
"Yeah," Leshawna chimed in, "why do I gotta be hanging next to her!" The two girls locked eyes and glared.
"I don't think that's the issue here..." DJ said, the camera panning onto him.
"I personally don't mind being tied up like this," Julia said in a positive tone, the camera pulling back to show her smiling. "I'm just happy to see my boyfriend in the finale."
"I didn't even want to show up, but I would appreciate it if I was actually seated," Scarlett said in a grumpy tone.
"Sha-yeah!" Lightning agreed as the camera panned onto him. "Chris, these ropes might cause Lightning some bruising. Can we get them loosened a bit?"
Scarlett gave Lightning an incredulous look. "You do realize that if the ropes are loosened, you'll fall?"
"Lightning will just get back up again," Lightning told her obliviously.
The camera cut back to B. It lingered on him for a few moments as he awkwardly looked from side to side, then directly at the camera as he smiled coolly.
"Despite this drastic situation we're in," Ella sang after the song panned to her, "I still want either Zee or Harold to win~!"
Another pan to the left showed Duncan watching her. "My money's on Harold," he said, shrugging.
“And how come?” Ella asked.
"Zee's cool and all, but I just know the dork better," Duncan answered.
"Really?" Geoff asked, raising a eyebrow in disbelief. "Are the shows in Jersey really that terrible to watch?"
"They are if ya don't have tickets!" Anne Maria answered happily.
Yet another pan put the focus on Amy and Sammy. "Are you still not going to apologize for how you've treated me ever since we were little?" Sammy asked.
"And why should I?" Amy replied in slight irritation.
"Because I put you in your place and pointed out your own flaws," Sammy explained. “The least you can do is be humble a bit.”
"You may have gotten further than me, but you still didn’t win the season," Amy bragged. “You're a bowl of mush, and I'm a parfait, which is French for perfect.”
“So what's French for bossy blonde cow?” Sammy taunted with a smirk. “I know! Vache blonde autoritaire!”
"You are so going to get it," Amy growled.
The camera pulled back to show Max clenching his eyes shut in pain. "Would you two identical ladies cease that annoying racket?!" he finally yelled with another force to startle Amy and Sammy into looking at him. "Thank y-" he began to say plainly before Amy smacked him in the head. "Hey!" he said, cringing at the hit.
"Okay," Chris said, the music turning slow and plodding as the camera cut back to him, Zee and Harold. "Now that the Peanut Gallery has had a chance to reintroduce themselves, let's move on."
"Whoa, hold on a minute," Zee held up a hand to interrupt. "Why? How? When?"
"Uh, you're gonna have to be a little more specific there," Chris told him, raising an eyebrow.
"He means why are they all tied up?" Harold translated.
Chris let out a long, irritated sigh. "Fine," he said. "I'm keeping them tied up and in plain sight so we don't have them float towards the sun, okay?"
"No," Harold said bluntly.
"Not really," Zee replied.
"Whatever," Chris told them, his brow creased in annoyance. His expression then changed into a smile. "Who goes first will be decided by a coin toss," he explained, taking out a coin and flipping it towards the campers.
It hit Zee in the eye. He yelped in pain, rubbing where he'd been hit.
"Zee wins!" Chris happily announced. "Let's see who you get," he said as the game show jingled played again.
The shot cut to a close-up of the monitor as the portraits began to scroll past, Zee uttering a series of grunts as she watched off-screen – some hopeful, some annoyed. "Okay, stop," he said after a few seconds, the camera moving to him as he pressed the button on his remote.
The simulated reel stopped on Jo. "Not who I wanted at all," Zee said in disappointment as a triumphant jingle played, "but I got what I got and I'm not gonna throw a fit."
"Harold," Chris said, the camera moving back to the finalists as the dweeb pursed his lips, "you're up."
The game show jingle played, and the portraits started flashing across the monitor again – until they stopped on Scarlett. "No..." Harold groaned.
Confessional: Harold
"I knew the odds of getting Leshawna were slim," Harold confessed. "But I want a helper who would actually assist me."
Confessional Ends
An odd note played as the shot cut back to Zee, Harold, and Chris, the latter two sharing a look. "I'd like to spin again," Harold said.
"Have at it," Chris replied, the shot briefly cutting to the pictures flashing across the monitor again.
Harold pressed the button, and sagged in defeat – and the camera cut to the monitor to show that it had landed on Scarlett again. The camera moved in front of Chris as he gave her a mischievous look. "Scarlett again?" he asked in fake shock. "What are the odds?"
The camera pulled back as Chris turned to the right and nodded at Chef, who returned the gesture and walked away. "Okay, looks like Zee gets Jo and Harold gets Scarlett," Chris said, nodding toward the helicopter. The ropes tied around the two chosen helpers abruptly came loose, causing both to fall, but while Scarlett landed in an awkward flop, Jo simply tucked her legs in and rolled as a light but triumphant tune played.
She got back onto her feet just as Zee walked up to her. "Hey Jo. I know we haven't gotten along-" Zee said.
"-but since we're partners, we're gonna have to try and tolerate each other," Jo replied. "Yeah, I know."
Confessional: Jo
"I'm not in the game any more, which still sucks," Jo explained. "But Chill Pill managed to subvert my expectations. He lasted longer than I thought he would have. And if I have to work with him, then so be it."
Confessional Ends
The camera panned to the right as Scarlett snorted and stood up. "I strongly refuse to partake in this," she said, the shot cutting in close as she brushed the dirt off her shirt then turned around.
She took a step, and walked right into Chef, who snickered and locked a thick metal collar around the quiet brainiac's neck.
"Let me guess. You're going to shock me if I don't play along, right?" Scarlett asked in annoyance as she tugged at the collar.
"You'd think that," Chris said with a mischievous smile, "but this is actually something different. In case you somehow ended up as one of the helpers, I had a special collar made that'll tranquilize you if you don't play along," he finished with a smug look.
Scarlett groaned in annoyance. "Fine."
"Hey, as long as you don't just bail, I'm cool," Chris told him.
"I'm not," Harold interrupted with an angry look.
Confessional: Scarlett
"Unless I want a voltage surprise like the ones I received in episode four," Scarlett told the confessional camera with disgust, idly tugging at the collar around her neck, "I'll help Harold with his goal of winning the one million dollars. That doesn't mean I have to be happy about it."
Confessional: Chris
"Am I full of good ideas or what?" Chris chuckled in the outhouse camera.
Confessionals End
"So," Chris said, the static cutting away to show him walking towards the two pairs. "Reunion's over? Good! It's time for your final challenge. I have endearingly titled it, 'The Double Duo of Deadly Dying Death'!" A dramatic spike in the music, reverberated voice, and zoomed-in and angled shot all combined to make the revealing of the title particularly dramatic.
"That sounds dangerous...," Zee said worryingly.
"It's supposed to be dangerous, Dodo Brain," Jo groaned.
Confessional: Zee
"Now I'm wishing I did use my second chance like Harold did," Zee confessed.
Confessional Ends
"Now since Blaineley snuck back onto the island and changed it completely by wreaking havoc in the secret underground control room..." Chris began to explain.
"Umm, hold on," came the voice of Julia, the camera panning back up to the still-loitering helicopter. "What did you just say?" she asked in confusion.
"Wait, you didn't know that?" Duncan asked. "I knew I was forgetting something."
"Host!" Max interrupted, drawing the focus to the other end of the line. "I demand you explain this!"
"No," Chris replied in a deadpan tone. "As I was saying," he continued, putting his bland smile back on as the background music became deep and tense, "we've yet to explore all the wonderful and bizarre new dangers the island's new landscape has to offer. Until now. Harold and Zee," the shot cut back to the two pairs, "with assistance from your helpers-" Zee and Jo shared a frown while Harold and Scarlett shared a glare - "you will race across the island. First one to cross the finish line will receive," Chris turned to the side and grabbed the prized suitcase from Chef, the music building up grandly as he opened it to reveal its glowing contents, "One! Millions! Dol-lars!"
All four teens started cheering.
"All you have to do is survive a 2000-foot plummet from an ice cliff," Chris joyously explained, the camera cutting to the slender peak of a snowy mountain before quick-panning away, "successfully learn to breathe while submerged in mud," the camera panned across a bubbling lake of mud before quick-panning away again, "and then sprint two miles across a wide-open field where," the shot now panned across a seemingly ordinary and empty field, "I'm absolutely sure no harm will come to you."
The shot cut back to the cast as Chris began to laugh raucously for an extended period of time. "The point I'm making," Chris said once he'd finally finished, "is that there's a decent chance you may not survive this."
Both finalists and helpers groaned warily. Then they were each tossed an orange helmet.
"For the first part of the challenge," Chris explained, "the lawyers insisted you wear helmets to protect your brains." The shot cut to him and Chef. "I mean who knows. Someday, you may start using them." The roar of the nearby helicopter suddenly increased, the added wind whipping up a cloud of dust around the men. "When you get to the top of the mountain, it'd be a good idea to build a bobsled," Chris instructed, "or, it'll be a very rough ride down!"
The show's smaller red helicopter was shown flying over, the larger military one flying away with the rest of the former campers still attached. "Grab a rope!" Chris said, the camera panning down the four ropes hanging from the helicopter to show them dangling just above the finalists and helpers. "Your challenge begins...NOW!"
The four grabbed the ropes in front of them, and to a sudden bit of challenge music and a blast of the host's airhorn, the helicopter flew off dragging the startled teens along with it.
"Good luck! Stay safe!" Chris called out after them. "Are things I'd say, if I cared!"
The footage flashed ahead to the top of the snowy peak, several boxes and barrels of various junk – including what looked like several sets of skis – already waiting at the top. The small helicopter arrived momentarily, and the shot cut to its four passengers landing in the show – Jo and Zee on the left, Scarlett and Harold on the right.
"We're supposed to build a bobsled out of this junk?" Jo asked in disbelief.
"No," Zee corrected as he grabbed a pair of skis, "Chris just said it would be a good idea." He tossed the skis onto the ground and stepped on them, a tense challenge tune playing in the background. "I have a different one, so hop on."
The shot cut to a close-up of Jo grinning, then to her jumping onto the skis behind Zee. "Let's do this!" she said as they began to slide forward down the slope and left the scene.
The camera panned onto Scarlett, holding a pair of skis of her own. "We should get moving!"
"What's to stop me from believing that you won't shove me off the skis?" Harold asked, crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow.
"I have this wretched collar on. Shoving you is the last thing I want to do. Now get on!" Scarlett told him angrily.
"Fine," Harold said, rolling his eyes and walking over to where Scarlett was already waiting on the skis and got ahead of her. The challenge music rose up again as they leaned forward, and started to slide.
The shot cut to Zee and Jo looking back over their shoulders with grins on their faces. They promptly skied through a tall mogul, slowing them down a little and covering Zee's eyes in snow. "I can't see!" he shouted, clawing at the packed snow as they began to swerve.
"Quick, to the left!" Jo shouted, one hand around Zee's waist and one point ahead of them as they swerved away from the camera around another mound of snow. "Now right!" Jo directed, the two swerving back towards the foreground. "Left!" She shouted, but they just sped through another mogul earning a scream from the jock-ette.
Confessional: Jo
Jo was blue from the cold and shivering heavily.
Confessional Ends
"Well isn't that the best thing that's happened today!" Scarlett taunted as the scene cut back to her and Harold.
"Yeah, well, we're gonna be next if we don't keep dodging these things," Harold pointed out as they began to swerve around the moguls as well. "And I want to try and get ahead of them while we can."
The music ramped up dangerously as the dweeb and brainiac slid towards another mogul. "Left!" Harold shouted.
"No, right!" Scarlett replied, the two leaning to the opposite direction, swerving nowhere, and plowing right through the mound. "Aagh!"
"Scarlett!" Harold growled as they started swerving wildly, snow covering both their eyes. They clipped the side of another mogul, sending themselves into a screaming spin, hit a third mogul, and came out tumbling end over end.
The shot cut to the bottom of the slope, the music leveling off as what looked like a mogul on skis slid down. The camera zoomed in as two patches of snow fell away to reveal Zee and Jo inside, the two moaning and blue in the face. "Zee, we need to move," Jo weakly told her partner, "before-"
A massive snowball suddenly ran them over, breaking the snow but leaving the good vibe guy and jock-ette lying in a puddle of melting snow. A crash was heard off-screen, but the camera lingered in place as Jo groaned and stood up. "Let's go," Jo told her partner. "You're still in this..."
"...yeah," Zee said as he caught his breath. "Yeah!" he said, more energetically this time. "I've got this!" he declared before charging forward, the shot cutting to Jo as she smirked softly then raced after her partner.
The camera followed them along for a few seconds until they reached a heap of snow, skis, and dazed-looking teens, which the shot immediately focused on. "What happened?" Harold shot at his partner, the dweeb lying upside-down half-trapped in the snow. "I told you to go left!"
"And I told you to go right!" Scarlett countered, her head sticking out the right way up but her legs sticking out over it.
"Yes, but I'm the one in charge!" Harold replied. "You're supposed to be helping me!"
"I was steering!" Scarlett said before the snow holding her up crumbled away, causing her to fall over with a startled gasp.
Harold sighed in aggravation before a small pile of melting snow collapsed onto his face.
The scene cut away to show Chris and Chef sitting in lawn chairs eating popcorn as they watched the challenge feed, the host promptly pausing it with a beep and looking at the camera. "This finale's out of control!" he said excitedly as the capstone theme began to play. "Zee and Jo got run over! Harold and Scarlett can't stop arguing! And all of them just plowed through like a ton of snow!"
"Stay tuned, "he continued, the shot moving away but the host quickly popping back up in front of it. "Someone is leaving here a millionaire. It's the finale of Total! Drama! Paaaaaahkitew Island!"

2024.05.20 00:35 goingtothecircus I feel worthless.

I am 30f and live alone, never had a real relationship, addicted to masturbation and fantasy, obese, mentally and chronically ill, and autistic. I struggle making ends meet and have a dead-end job in customer service. I want to better myself but because of my chronic autoimmune issues I never feel well enough to balance both work and school because working full time takes so much out of me. I sleep in until it is time to roll out of bed and get read for work. I have no energy or drive to do anything for myself. All I do is jerk off and think about sex and wish I was married.
My family is mad at me. Men are repulsed by me. I can't make friends or keep them. Yes, I am in counselling and have a long way to go before I can be a person who people want to get to know. But right now I feel like the most worthless piece of excrement. I go on Facebook and see all my old friends and acquittances sharing pregnancy announcements, engagement pictures, wedding photos, baby bump photos, sonogram pictures and feel the most painful jealousy knowing that will never be me because I am not likeable.
There is something about me that turns people off, both men and women. I can sit in a group full of people talking and no one ever engages me or looks at me. When I try to speak up or throw something in the conversation people ignore me or act like they didn't hear me. I feel invisible among people and it is the most painful feeling. I don't know what it is about me but people just don't respond well to me. I think it is my anti-social personality, but what they don't know is I am anti-social for a reason because I have been hurt by people very much in the past and don't want to be hurt again.
I was sexually harassed by a professional last year and threatened to take my review down of the BBB or else they would take me to court and sue me for libel. They did not believe my story and I never felt so invalidated and violated in my life. Men are attracted to me at first and want "me", but that is about it. No one wants to love me or know me. I could go to any bar in town and find someone to sleep with tonight--but that is where it ends. I feel empty and like a husk people just use or want to play with to suit their needs. It makes me feel absolutely worthless.
I am obese and use food to escape from loneliness. It is the only comfort I have.
I can't afford the things I need. I can't drive and never got my driver's license due to illness in the family after I get my permit and never had anyone who had time to teach me. I can't afford to see the endocrinologist which I have been needing to for a long time for my pituitary tumor that I was diagnosed with in 2015. I have not been on medication for it in years and it's probably grown and my periods are extremely heavy and I am growing facial hair now (which makes me feel disgusting and unfeminine). I haven't been to the dentist in years and went this year after I got my tax refund and found out I need over $10,000 in dental work my workplace insurance can't cover. So I have teeth rotting out of my head and a tumor in my head that is wrecking havoc on my hormones.
I feel like a waste of space and life. There are children dying of cancer who deserve the air I am breathing more. There are mothers who have children who deserve the air I am breathing more. There are people who have purpose and lives to lead who deserve the air I am breathing more. I ask myself, why did God create someone like me if He knew this is all I would ever amount to be? I am sure even He is repulsed by me as well.
I feel dirty, cast out, unwanted, disgusting, un-likeable and useless. I feel like at this point I am just waiting to die. The only thing that is keeping me wanting to stay is my cat who depends on me.

2024.05.19 17:35 VeterinarianNo2256 [M4F] The College Roommate Mishap

Please be literate, descriptive and over the age of 18 (preferebly 24+) There was a mixup with the paperwork and our characters end up as roommates in college. If you have any questions or if you're interested in this plot, feel free to send me a message.
The young man named Aaron walked down the bustling college campus, he couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness coursing through his veins. This was the beginning of a next chapter in his life, where he aimed to meet new people and to learn a vast majority of knowledge from his teachers. With each step he took towards his new dorm room, his heart pounded with anticipation, and his mind raced with thoughts of what lay ahead.
Eventually, he reached the building that housed his dormitory. As he entered the hallway, the smell of fresh paint hit his nostrils, a sure sign of recent renovations. The walls were adorned with motivational quotes and colorful posters, creating an inviting atmosphere for the students. With his backpack slung over his shoulder, he followed the directions on the piece of paper that one of the faculty members gave to him.
Arriving at room 202, he paused outside the door for a moment. Taking a deep breath, he inserted the key into the lock and slowly turned it. With a gentle click, the door swung open, revealing his new sanctuary for the next academic year.
Aaron stepped into the room and was impressed with how clean and organized the room was. The room was comprised of two single beds tucked against opposite walls, each defined by their own corner. A large, sturdy wooden desk sat against the window, which gave off a lot of natural light that streamed through the slightly dusty glass panes.
Taking a moment to scan the space, he noticed the pristine white walls, no doubt most people would cover these bare walls with posters and pictures to give the room more personality. There was also two spacious closets, complete with sliding doors that would accommodate all his belongings.
His phone began to vibrate loudly in his back pocket. No doubt one of his friends was texting him to come see their dorm room. Aaron stuffed his hand into his pocket and pulled out his phone to respond to his friends text message.
"Hey, have you seen your dorm room yet?! They are awesome, aren't they? You should come over to mine."
"Can't. I'm still unpacking."
"Still?! You're so slow, Aaron. Text me when you're done and we'll go cause some havoc in the school."
"lol"
Aaron tossed his phone onto one of the beds. He noticed the meticulously made twin-sized mattresses, adorned with fresh sheets and fluffy pillows. Thankfully the beds were comfortable, almost as comfortable as his own bed back home.
His gaze then shifted towards the large window, framing a picturesque view of the campus. From here, he would witness countless sunrises and sunsets, changing seasons, and the ebb and flow of campus life. He imagined himself sitting there, coffee in hand, taking a moment to appreciate the beauty and serenity that each day would bring.
From outside his dorm room he heard the footsteps of someone coming closer and closer. Aaron assumed that this individual was most likely going to be his roommate for this school year. He didn't want to just awkwardly stand in the middle of the room when they walked in so he began to empty out the contents of his backpack onto his bed.

2024.05.18 22:04 No-Show-9866 Seeking help for troubled teen!!

I am a single parent. I have a 13 year old girl and 11 year old boy. The 13 year old refuses to go to school because of bullying, she missed an ENTIRE school year because of all of the back and forth.. i.e, not leaving the house in the mornings and eventually I couldn’t miss or be late to work anymore from staying home wrestling with her, I attempted MULTIPLE times to get cops involved, school courtesy officers etc, they wouldn’t do anything!! I put her in therapy, I got her a psychiatrist, she started meds… STILL wouldn’t go to school. I started getting threats to be taken to jail or into custody because of how much school she was missing. Keep in mind this child is the size of a grown woman, taller than me and hefty, for those of you thinking “why not just physically put her in the car and get her to school”
Every once in a while after having a good therapy session, she would go in to the building but stayed in the office the whole day and never went to class. Eventually we were able to get an educational liaison that helped us be able to transfer her to a private homeschool that would actually accept her because she had all F’s that year for never being in school.
But the issue is, I cannot find a job where I can work from home to be with her. I don’t have family members here that can help. Her father has never been in the picture, and she is destroying my home. When I’m away at work she eats up all the food, makes messes everywhere, damages things I’ve worked hard for, doesn’t engage in any self care and smells horrible, won’t leave the house, won’t socialize. And the attitude is so terrible that when we try to discuss these things or I try to guide her, it turns into huge unnecessary arguments and she thinks I don’t love or care about her. I know majority of this comes from the pain she’s feeling inside, she’s been bullied most of her life and now she is just shutting down. She also is hurting because her Dad wants nothing to do with her. This is causing so much stress and havoc in my household and this has been going on for almost 2 years now.
I’ve sent her away a couple of times to inpatient behavioral facilities within these 2 years, but that seemed to make things worse and make her feel like more of a failure and less loved. I don’t know what else to do! I’ve asked for so much help from my community and nothing is working!!!
Has anyone had a similar situation, or anyone work in the field of troubled teens and have suggestions!!??? Pleaseee, any advice will be helpful. All three of us are suffering tremendously…

2024.05.18 20:53 VaquitaPorpoise TDP season 6 episodes 1 and 2 theories

Hi TDP fandom! I hope everyone is doing well and digesting on very excellent season 6 content we’ve been receiving so far during the past two weeks especially since we’ve been learning the episode titles to Book 6: Stars thanks to Aaron Ehasz and Justin Richmond by giving us creepy, terrifying clues and hints by having us guess the episode titles!
It has been very kind of Aaron Ehasz and Justin Richmond to keep us entertained on the season 6 episode title puzzles during this difficult moment of season 6 content while we continue to wait on Netflix to announce a release date.
I’m going to theorize the episode titles one by one in this post, but I’ll only do 2 at a time so it won’t be overwhelming to read in order to paint a picture of what we can expect to see in the new season considering season 6 was designed to be darker and haunting to give us nightmares in a manner we might not be prepared…….
Let’s theorize on the episode titles and clues for the upcoming season 6 of Book 6: Stars!
Startouched: Not going to theorize and bother on the first episode. Thanks to previous TDP panel cons and the fandom posting the entire plot of the first episode on social media we already know what it’s about.
Love, War and Mushrooms: This one might not be too hard to theorize as Aaron and Justin posted pictures on X of hands forming the shape of a heart, a soldier who's fighting in a battle, and a full image of cute mushrooms. We all knew what we were thinking: What do these have in common? It was simple to realize that they would reveal the title for the second episode of season 6. Let’s break down the title.
Love: This one has us all curious. Seeing the word love in the title it can mean we can expect to see the relationships going onward between Callum and Rayla as they travel to the starscrapper alone to retrieve the Nova blade and free Rayla’s family as they continue to slowly rebuild their relationship and perhaps have that heartfelt talk they need to have. It might also show glimpses of Amaya and Janai preparing for their wedding.
War: No doubt about it. Karim will wreak havoc on the camp and will try to reclaim the throne from Janai by force to retrieve power and become king of the Sunfire elves. This might be where Aanya might show up to help Amaya and Janai help fight against Karim’s army based on the footage we saw from the video game trailer of Xadia.
Mushrooms: I think we’ll learn more about the Mushroom mage Mukho as he uses earth magic to heal Zubeia from her dark magic wound she received from rescuing Team Zym in the library at Lux Aurea that was filled with corrupted banthers.
What do you guys think? What do you think we can expect to see in the second episode of season 6?

2024.05.18 19:16 agirlhasnoname17 Voight is NOT making a phone call!

Why is everyone saying that?
Voight will never call someone he cares about knowing full well that they’re going to be killed. Why are people just assuming he’s making a call? The way I interpret the picture of Al is that he feels guilt over getting his best friend killed. And over Justin. And over Anna. No way no how he lets that happen again.
In fact, I fail to see Voight luring anyone to their torture and death. Not a single innocent person, friend or stranger. He’s Voight, damnit! In An Honest Woman, he didn’t buckle under torture, but only when Justin’s future wife was threatened.
(In the preview, Hailey is rallying people. That means no phone call.)

2024.05.18 18:52 GePao I designed a 37mm launcher, the SB-37H

I designed a 37mm launcher, the SB-37H
Its name stands for (Stainless) steel receiver, break open action, 37mm launcher ready for high pressure rounds. Picture here are showing a concentric ramset firing pin prototype, I have another center fire prototype. All stress parts, hinge, receiver, breach, and locking recess are made from laser cut steel plates. My design doesn't require stainless steel but it is only slightly more expensive than mild steel and doesn't require any surface like mild steel (PVD, bluing, etc). My design solves the durability and reliability weakness in both current commercial and 3D printed launchers while being cheaper (than most commercial launchers). I plan to release the file with my 37×70mmR rounds together after my own throughout testing. Currently I only have 12 commercial 37mm hulls, which I think Test firing only 12 shots per range trip is highly inefficient and a waste of time. I brought enough raw metal to make 64 hulls from a supplier, which will enable me to fire 76 shots per range visit. These extra hulls will help me with reaching the 300-500 rounds test faster.
Some extra info: Picture 8-9, my Havoc launcher after 150-200 rounds. The barrel retaining bolt cracked in half. Also, the locking recess in the aluminum barrel is squished. Picture 10-11, the top of the locking recess on a NT-79 usually only survives for 2-5 rounds. Although sometimes it still shoots even after losing its locking ability. I have also experienced NT-79 receiver cracks into pieces but unfortunately didn't have photographic evidence. I printed 2 SLS nylon receivers but unable to test because these SLS nylon parts have bad clearance. They don't allow the barrel to fully close into battery.

2024.05.18 17:50 DutyTop8086 How does khat consumption affect the overall economy of Yemen, especially in the context of civil war and poverty?

Lets shed some light on a pressing issue that deeply affects our beloved Yemeni people. The insidious impact of khat consumption on our economy. This crisis, is fueled by the insidious leafy plant known as khat and has dismantled lives, torn apart families, and turned our beloved Yemen into a nation gripped by addiction.
It has created significant toll on families and there finances . Khat's grip on Yemen is like a vice, squeezing the life out of our people. What was once an occasional indulgence has now become a near-daily ritual for a staggering portion of our population. Imagine—up to 90% of Yemeni adults, including children as young as 12, are caught in its clutches. This addiction has ravaged our families, our finances, and our future.
Financially, khat is a relentless parasite. Families spend more on their khat habit than on basic necessities, leading to bankruptcy and financial ruin. In a country where 85% of the population needs aid and the average annual income is less than $2,200, the cost of khat is devastating. Entire families are plunged into poverty, their finances drained to support this destructive addiction.
Destroyed lives and lost smiles. The social impact of khat is a tragedy unfolding before our eyes. Families that once thrived are now in tatters. Parents neglect their responsibilities, children grow up in chaos, and the very fabric of our society is unraveling. Picture the scene—men, women, and even children with bulging cheeks and glassy eyes, lost in hours-long khat sessions. It is a haunting sight, a silent scream for help.
The loss of productivity is another casualty in this war. Khat chewing sessions last for hours, stealing time from work and other productive activities. Our economy, already crippled by years of civil war, suffers further as the stimulant effect of khat gives way to lethargy, leaving users incapable of contributing to their communities.
But the devastation doesn’t stop there. Khat is not just a social and economic disaster; it is a public health crisis. The communal nature of khat chewing, with people sharing bags and bundles of leaves, has turned it into a vector for disease. COVID-19 highlighted this risk, with crowded markets and shared consumption spreading the virus like wildfire.
The long-term health effects of khat are severe. Chronic use leads to dental problems, gastrointestinal issues, and cardiovascular diseases. And yes, there have been khat-related deaths, as its amphetamine-like properties wreak havoc on the body, especially when consumed in large quantities.
Where there is desperation there is crime. Desperation drives some Yemenis to crime. Theft, smuggling, and even violent acts have increased as addicts seek ways to fund their consumption. Khat’s influence extends even to the battlefields, where combatants pause fighting to chew, a stark reminder of its pervasive hold on our country.
Is there a solution? We first we must address this crisis with a multifaceted approach. Education and awareness campaigns are critical to changing public perception and reducing demand. We must illuminate the health risks and economic consequences to dissuade new users.
Economic alternatives are essential. We must provide farmers with incentives to grow other crops, reducing agricultural dependence on khat. Supporting small businesses and creating job opportunities can offer viable alternatives to those currently engaged in the khat trade.
We must tackle this crisis with a comprehensive approach:
Economic Diversification:
Alternative Crops: We need to encourage the cultivation of alternative crops by providing financial incentives and support to farmers. This shift will help alleviate food insecurity and stimulate other sectors of our economy.
Sustainable Practices: Promoting sustainable agricultural practices can ensure long-term food security and economic stability.
Public Awareness Campaigns:
Education Programs: We must educate our population about the financial, health, and social consequences of khat consumption. School programs, community workshops, and media campaigns can play a crucial role in changing public perception.
Cultural Change: Working with local leaders and influencers to shift cultural norms around khat use can help reduce its prevalence.
Health Interventions:
Medical Services: Increasing access to medical services to treat the health consequences of khat use.
Health Education: Implementing health education programs to inform the public about the risks associated with khat consumption.
Law Enforcement and Regulation:
Regulation of Khat Trade: Implementing stricter regulations on the production, sale, and consumption of khat to curb its widespread use.
Support for Law Enforcement: Providing resources and training to law enforcement agencies to effectively tackle khat-related crimes.
Economic and Social Support:
Job Creation: Creating job opportunities and supporting small businesses can offer viable alternatives to those currently engaged in the khat trade.
Social Services: Expanding social services to support families affected by khat addiction, ensuring they have access to food, education, and healthcare.
It is painfully clear that khat addiction is not just a personal issue it is a crisis that is tearing apart the very fabric of our nation. This insidious plant is robbing us of our potential, our health, and our future. But we, the new generation, are able to change this narrative.

2024.05.18 17:18 MidasState I 25M was stalked by a colleague 40F who got fired for it then hired back in HR

TLDR - much older female colleague built up fantasy relationship and caused havoc. If someone is inappropriate at work report it instantly.
This happened several years ago when as a 25 year old man I was stalked and harassed in a serious way by a 40 year old woman at my previous workplace. Office job in the UK and she was brought in via agency 3 years after I'd started (permanent contract which will be important later) and was maybe 7 or 8 seats away from where I sat.
The team was 30ish people so there were people who I worked with who I rarely interacted with not related to work. She was one of them. We weren't friends or friendly.
A week before the teams Christmas do (out in town not an official event) and out of the blue she messaged me on the work platform asking would I be going. Told her I wasn't due to a family birthday and thought nothing of it. The family member then got sick and I ended up attending the Christmas do and she did not.
After that everything went crazy.
When we returned to the office after Christmas she was on holiday in Spain but we were told that she had been moved to sit next to our boss, 30 year old female and team leader also 30 year old female. Didn't think anything of it or relate it to the works do but was pretty distracted by the extremely explicit naked pictures she'd emailed to my work email. I deleted them immediately and was conflicted as to what to do. I'd recently split from my long term girlfriend who also worked in the business and did not want to be going to IT about explicit pictures on my email account.
After work I confided in my brother about it, as he also worked there, and although he found it hilarious he advised me to message her on social media telling her not to do that. Terrible advice, if in this situation report it immediately. I however added her on a media platform and sent a message to the effect of please do not do that again I could lose my job. She immediately shut down the account.
When she returned she never approached me or spoke to me but over the next few weeks I was coming in to post it notes in my drawers, cakes at my desk and gestures you might expect from a partner but this was a woman I'd barely spoken to. I tried a different approach this time and just ignored them and would leave them where they where untouched hoping she'd get the hint but people next to me had started to notice. I was telling them I didn't know who was doing it as I felt bad for her and didn't want to out her to everyone.
What I didn't know, was that she was actually telling a group of women around her, including my team leader and manager, that we had been dating since the Christmas do, after which I'd supposedly gone back to hers. All of this was a complete fantasy. I can't prove it and they denied it but I'm almost positive that some of the things being put on my desk had the co-operation of my manager at the time.
She then reactivated the social media account and had started to send messages in the early hours of the morning at the weekend. I didn't reply to any and asked a police woman friend what I should do who advised logging everything she was doing, times and dates, and take it to my managers manager. I started doing this.
Before I could go to my managers manager however I was pulled aside by HR and my manager as the stalker had accused the 40 year old married co worker I sat next to of sexually assaulting her in the train station and that I was the only witness. She'd come up with some complete nonsense of him pushing his private parts against her when hugging her goodbye and making a lewd comment along the lines of what was she going to do about it. Of course I as the knight in shining armor "boyfriend" had pulled him off her and we'd got into a fantasy altercation.
Livid, I told them everything that had been going on, had to vehemently deny that I was in any sort of relationship with the woman and have my manager try to tell me she believed I was and that I needed to be honest as this was now a serious issue. They suspended my co worker, who had worked there for 20 years, and threw a grenade in his marriage and reported it to the police. I was telling them over and over that I wasn't there, that I got a lift home not the train and flat out did not think this could or had happened. The following Monday I came in to a gift box of shortbread on my desk and finally lost my temper and went straight to HR and asked for a face to face meeting with HR present.
I told her that we weren't in a relationship, we never had been and I wanted her to stop bringing me gifts and sending me messages. She never said a word and stared out of the window the entire time until HR asked is there anything she'd like to say to me at which point she looked me dead in the eye and said "I just want to be friends". Was awful, I told her that I wanted her to leave me alone or I would go to the police.
After that everyone knew what was going on and everything started to come out then, anyone I was close to or friendly with she had been telling malicious and bizarre lies about, the guy who gave me a lift home had tried to run her over, my ex had grabbed her in the toilet and told her to stay away from me, my brother had been sending her explicit messages. It was a Web of lies about everyone I knew. Some had been reported to HR and people had no idea.
Finally a woman on another team had sat next to her on the train home and she'd told her how the co worker she'd accused of sexual assault hadn't done anything but that she didn't think he was good for me to be around and she was hoping he'd get sacked. She made other outlandish claims and threats including that she'd like to stab a female colleague I was friends with. This woman was so alarmed that she reported her the next day and the business finally seemed to realise she was nuts. I was taken aside and assured that she was being let go and that she'd admitted that my co worker had never touched her and that wasn't going any further.
Being on agency they let her go immediately, however my manager can't have disclosed to the agency/business why she was let go as within a week it came up on a work email that she'd accepted a role as HR administrator covering maternity! I had to go to HR and tell them that if they gave her the job I'd consider legal action. They didn't employ her in the end.
That's mostly the end of it other than bizarre online stuff like changing her FB name to my surname, getting friend requests from no profile picture accounts with names of my colleagues and sometimes long rants from these accounts saying that now we aren't working together maybe we can finally be together. Slowed down to maybe once every 3 month I'd get something like that before it stopped maybe 2 years after she'd been let go.
Apologies that was so long but I've never really put it into words before. It absolutely was not taken seriously by the business and everyone around me thought it was a big joke until she accused my co worker of SA. It was much worse for him and I felt hugely guilty that he was dragged into this and can't imagine what he went through. But also thank god she included me in the accusation as it then fell in on itself. I wish I'd reported it the moment she sent explicit images but I was 25 and didn't want everyone at my work to think I was involved with an unattractive (not that it would have made it better but honestly i didnt want anyone to think i was involved with her) much older woman.

The Man, the Myth, the Legend: Chow Yun Fat
Happy Birthday to Chow Yun Fat!
May 18th is Chow Yun Fat’s birthday. I wanted to share a few gifs and photos here to celebrate his birthday.
For anyone who might be interested, here are some random bits of history and facts about Chow Yun Fat gleaned from the interwebs. (Sources and interviews are listed at the bottom.)
Chow Yun Fat was born in Lamma Island, Hong Kong in 1955. Lamma Island is the third largest island of Hong Kong and is located southwest of Hong Kong Island. It is considered a rural area even today.
His father worked on a Shell Company oil tanker while his mother was a cleaning lady and vegetable farmer. 1
Chow Yun Fat was called Siu Gau (puppy/little dog) up to the age of 7. He didn't know his own name until he attended school and the teacher did roll call. It was local practice to call young children by nicknames for fear that they would not survive the early years of childhood.
He grew up in a home with no electricity and no flushing toilet (this type of toilet is known as 夜香 yèxiāng in Chinese). They relied on oil lamps at night.
As a child, he woke up at dawn and helped his mom sell herbal jelly and Hakka tea pudding in the morning. In the afternoons, he worked in the fields. 1
His family moved to Kowloon when he was 10. At 17, due to his father's deteriorating health, he dropped out of school to support the family and worked odd jobs, e.g. bell boy, postman, camera shop sales clerk, etc. His first monthly salary was HKD200 (~USD36 in 1972).
In 1973, he saw a newspaper advertisement for an actor-trainee position and went for an audition. During that time, the education required was secondary school completion so he was eligible. He almost did not make the cut during the audition but one of the judges (Chung King Fai) supported him. Chow Yun Fat said he couldn't sing or dance very well. Thus, the other judges didn't think too much of him. After one year of training, he signed a long-term contract with TVB which lasted from 1974 to 1986.
One of his most notable TVB dramas was The Bund 上海灘 with Ray Liu and Angie Chiu. It is praised as “The Godfather of the East” 2 and spawned sequels, remakes and a film adaptation. The theme song by Frances Yip became a memorable Cantopop hit.
Besides TV dramas, Chow Yun Fat also made box office successful movies in the 1970s with Goldig Films which achieved high gross revenues of over HK$1 million. However, his ventures into low-budget films (after the Goldig films) later in the early 1980s were box office disasters. 1
The tides finally turned in 1986 when Chow Yun Fat made A Better Tomorrow with director John Woo. This movie won him his first Best Actor award at the 1987 Hong Kong Film Awards. It was the highest grossing film in Hong Kong cinema history at that time. Thereafter, he stopped making TV dramas and went into films.
Just a little anecdote about his first award:
Prior to winning the Best Actor award for A Better Tomorrow, he had attended three previous Hong Kong Film Awards where he dressed his best thinking he would win but didn't. For his 4th nomination, he was in the middle of filming and asked his director for time off to go to the award show but he was denied due to the hectic filming schedule. About 2 hours before the show, he received a call that said he was going to win that night. He rushed from Macau to Hong Kong by ferry and car in casual clothing and arrived just in time for his name to be called.
Many years later, a host asked him why he didn't have an assistant, manager, etc. deliver a suit for him to change on his way there. Chow replied and said there was no such thing as assistants or managers during those days. Actors were in charge of their own wardrobe. 3 There wasn't even a person to give you some tea. The first person to do that for him was his wife, Jasmine, 4 whom he quietly married in 1986 in a civil ceremony. They later held a wedding ceremony in 1987.
After A Better Tomorrow, Chow Yun Fat went on to make “many more 'gun fu' or 'heroic bloodshed' films, such as A Better Tomorrow II (1987), Prison on Fire (1987), Prison on Fire II (1991), The Killer (1989), A Better Tomorrow 3 (1990), Hard Boiled (1992) and City on Fire (1987), an inspiration for Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs.” 1
While Chow Yun Fat was becoming well known for his honorable tough guy roles, he also starred in comedies and romantic blockbusters. In 1989, he brought together all three types of characters for his role as Ko Chun in God of Gamblers with director Wong Jing. The movie broke the Hong Kong box office records and inspired a series of gambling films and a number of comedic sequels.
After making films in Hong Kong for about 10 years, Chow Yun Fat moved into Hollywood films in the mid 1990s. His most notable film during that time was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon which did very well at the international box office and the Oscars.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon won over 40 awards and was nominated for 10 Academy Awards in 2001, including Best Picture, and won Best Foreign Language Film, Best Art Direction, Best Original Score, and Best Cinematography, receiving the most nominations ever for a non-English-language film at the time,” 5
In 2006, he and Gong Li made Curse of the Golden Flower, a film directed by Zhang Yimou. “In 2007 it received fourteen nominations at the 26th Hong Kong Film Awards and won Best Actress for Gong Li, Best Art Direction, Best Costume and Make Up Design and Best Original Film Song for "菊花台" (Chrysanthemum Terrace) by Jay Chou.” 6
In 2014, Chow made From Vegas to Macau with director Wong Jing and reprised his role as Ko Chun, God of Gamblers. In 2015 and 2016, he made two more sequels with the last one being the final installment of the God of Gamblers series.
A few personal fun facts:
Chow Yun Fat is affectionately called by the locals as 發哥 Faat Gor (Brother Fat). His wife, Jasmine, is called 發嫂 Faat Sou (Sister-in-law Fat).
Compared to other celebrities, he dresses and lives very modestly. His monthly expense/pocket money is reportedly HKD800 (~USD103).
He likes to go to the local produce markets to shop for groceries with his wife. He enjoys eating at small food stalls and he takes public transportation in Hong Kong (in other countries as well). He's often seen on Hong Kong’s MTR.
He's also well known for taking selfies with fans and friends. A host called him the “God of Selfies” 自拍神. 😂
Whenever a fan approaches him for a photo (e.g. on the train or when he's out on a run), he is always happy to accept their request and offer to take a selfie/wefie with their phone. His reasoning is two-fold: 1, if fans can spend years watching his films, he can take a few seconds to take a photo with them. 2, he (~183 cm / 6’) is usually taller than they are and it's a better angle for him if he takes the photo. 😂
He developed an interest in fitness after working with Aaron Kwok on the 2014 movie, Monkey King: Havoc in the Heaven’s Palace.
For his role in From Vegas to Macau, he shed 13 kg (from ~80 kg) in 10 months. He ran 10 km daily for 1.5 hours during this time.
In 2023, he ran a half-marathon in less than 2.5 hours. He has a running group which spawned a couple of other running groups. 7 He plans to run a full marathon eventually.
In 2018, Chow Yun Fat said he would donate his entire wealth (reportedly HK$5.6 billion, ~US$715 million in 2018) to charity after he passes. In 2023, he revealed that this idea came from his wife who manages the family’s finances. 8

2024.05.17 14:21 Tobefair12 How the Internet Was Duped into Believing Actresses “Copy” Deepika

How the Internet Was Duped into Believing Actresses “Copy” Deepika
In May 2023, GUCCI announced Alia as its global ambassador. Immediately, portals and fans (bots, who knows?) rushed to claim Alia copied Deepika.
(This is not new to Deepika, the same PR tactics used against Aishwarya, Anushka, Sonam are rebranded to hate Alia, Suhana, Kiara, or any actress who is trending. It's common with SPICE clientelle. https://www.reddit.com/bollywood/s/gLbYcXhfmL)
Slide 1: After some digging, I noticed the GUCCI 1947 bamboo bag, muted makeup, and slicked-back hair were spotted a month before and after Alia's announcement.
Even Alia's looks (April 2023) leading up to the announcement are standard GUCCI-inspired campaigns that have been spotted amongst soon-to-be brand ambassadors. If anybody deserves credit for creating this style, it's Tom Ford, not Deepika.
Slide 2: Tom Ford, the creative director of GUCCI, revived GUCCI with this signature style in the 90s.
Slide 3, Slide 4, and Slide 5: GUCCI's ambassadors flaunt throwback pieces. Celebrities and models try their best to snatch pieces from GUCCI's iconic “Tom Ford era.”
You've likely seen pictures comparing both, screaming “copy” for years now. You will continue to hear it till Alia stops being popular. Most of those pictures are cropped. That’s because, with the exception of one or two looks, ALL the comparisons were hogwash. Here are a few prominent examples:
Slide 6: Different work at the end of their sarees, different blouses, different accessories, and completely different sarees.
Slide 7: Typical black Sabyasachi saree paired with pearls worn by Rani.
Slide 8: Another saree Alia was said to have “copied,” yet Alia wore it first.
Slide 9: Denim on Denim Every trend here has been set and finished by Aishwarya decades ago. In addition to the iconic Aishwarya, denim on denim was worn by nearly every actress at some point in their career.
Slide 10: Recently, Kiara was targeted before her Cannes debut, saying she copied Deepika for wearing a chipku bun, beige trench coat, and sunglasses. You know who else wore this combo? Hailey Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, and if you want Bollywood names, Bebo and Saif.
P.S. It took me less than one day to gather information, but Alia's Hype PR is still sleeping for one year. If your reading this Alia, please switch to Spice.

2024.05.17 09:13 Excellent-Can8531 can this be Lyme or coinfection symptom?

It first started with a small zit on the tip of the ear lobe, it had a black head that spread and inflamed the skin around the cartilage filling it with some kind of liquid and then lymph nodes got swollen around the ear and neck. The infection looked black, and within a weak made a crust that made it unrecognizable that was an insect bite. That is when I went to the doctors and they thought it was viral. That is why I was misdiagnosed so many years.
Since then I get this painful small blisters in the hands, some under the skin like the first picture, some on the surface. around joints. They are dark in appearance with black head and every time they appear they last around 1 - 2 weeks and when they leave the skin gets dry and flaky. But this does not end here, as soon as they disappear the nerve pain starts and I het really achy in the area for a long time.
I really believe that what I am looking at is the infection that havocs my body for such a long time (3yrs). I will not get into details but I do have neurological symptoms similar to MS, ALS.
I would like to know if you have these as well with Lyme.

  1. And finally, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham's breakup was immortalized through tracks they both penned for Fleetwood Mac's 1977 breakout album, Rumours. However, Stevie's magnum opus, "Silver Springs," was cut from the tracklist without her input and relegated to the B-side of their single "Go Your Own Way" (which was Lindsay's POV of the split). However, in 1997, the band resurrected "Silver Springs" for their live album The Dance.

2024.05.16 23:21 dspreemtmp Sizing and efficiency questions

Sizing and efficiency questions
Hi everyone, need some advice or pointers on improvements if can -
We bought a new build house in the rural greater-metro area of Seattle/Tacoma last summer. Build was done late 2022, 2story, 3100 total sqft pretty even distribution of sqft between 1st and 2nd floors. I feel that we have been struggling with our overall comfort levels in both summer time (not used a ton for AC but there is need for it) and in winter for heating. The system is a Carrier Infinity system - seems to be a 4ton 19 SEER multi-stage heat pump. Added pics for system details.
Details about the house - all bedrooms on 2nd story. Master bedroom is ~400sqft (+~300ish sqft for closets and master bath area), contains only 1 floor register underneath picture window (second register in the bath). This is on a west facing wall, so long sun in summer evenings w/ 2nd story trapping some heat.
Two other bedrooms are children bedrooms on the east facing part of house (one floor register under windows in each).
Bedrooms are either running too hot in summer or too cold in winter. The house did not have any ceiling fans in it originally, we put in all the bedrooms to increase air movement last summefall (house has 6 ceiling fans now).
One thermostat in the house, 1st floor central wall. There is a gas fireplace that we dont use that often in winter as know will throw off the thermostat a bit, even if the heat does eventually rise to 2nd story. There is an open loft area 2nd story. Its not uncommon for the master bedroom to be near 80 on a warmer, sunny day. We augmented that last summer w/ a portable AC unit for that room alone. When kids aren't home, all doors throughout the house are open; we have two kids, 4.5yr, and 18mo and do close up when they are in the loft play area to keep them from more havoc then they already get into.
When the system is running, it just doesnt feel like it has a lot of strength to the airflow. I assume its the variable speed air handler that is just operating in this fashion. Does this sound right? Are we doing something different here that is not working for us? I grew up in MI and have also lived in TN and FL and those systems seemed stronger in being able to feel the airflow more when the system is running. When it is running on any real given cycle, the master bedroom register feels like a trickle of cold air coming from the floor and that just isn't enough to counter what the room is dealing with.
Appreciate any comment for improvement here. Can add detail if need. Much appreciated!

2024.05.16 03:19 heydawn TODAY'S RECAP 5-15-2024

TODAY'S RECAP

I was so bored with the show today. Liam gets all up in Deacon's business. Luna worries she's pregnant. RJ fusses at Brooke for fussing at Zende. Even Steffy's confrontation with Sheila bored me bc it was so very predictable. Knowing the topics, someone could write a recap without even viewing the episode.

RJ, Brooke, and Ridge at FC

RJ: MOMMMM! You shouldn't have fussed at Zende! 🤨 It's Luna's business. I want to respect her privacy. So, please stay out of it! 😦 I'm handling it. Gah! I don't need your help!
Brooke: I had to! 😦
RJ: No. No you did NOT have to! (💭 Don't make me regret telling you.😕)
Brooke: We're FAMILY! He slept with your girlfriend! 👩I had to know what he would say for himself (💭 🫤 Not much.)
RJ: Nuh uh! You did not HAVE to know ANYTHING! (💭 Getting mom to back off is not easy. Why does she have to know everything? 🫤)
I'ma draw a circle ⭕ around MY business and Luna's. That's called a BOUNDARY. This is you right here 👇 in the middle of OUR business. You need to get 👉 👉 👉 OUT. (💭 Okay, Reddit. That's what we wished he would have said 🫤.)
(What he really said, in the nicest way possible) Mommmmm. Don't do that. We need to respect Luna's privacy. I don't want you talking about it here or with dad.
Enter Ridge. 😀 What's going on? Something's up. What is it? 🧐 It's totally my business. Everything is. I get to butt in. That's my thing.
RJ: 🫤
Brooke: 🙄
Ridge: It's Luna right? 😀 Great gal! Office romance, huh. 👩‍❤️‍👨 I did that. I fell for this hot chemist 🔬😍. (Smoochy Smoochy 😘.)
RJ: (💭 Not your business 😒). Dad, it's not a BIG life or death thing, so can you just be cool with not knowing? 😐
Ridge: Nooo. Now I REALLY want to know!
RJ: It doesn't involve you two and it's not life or death, so. (💭 These two! Gah!)
Ridge: Ohhhh, I see. You're acting like a teenager, going to your mom for help.
Brooke: He's not in any kind of trouble 😐. (💭 Getting Ridge to back off is not easy. Why does he have to know everything? 🫤)
Ridge: Alright. Look, your mom gives great advice. Listen to her! 😀 I'm here too if you want to talk. (Redditors who are not fast forwarding are surprised he's letting it go. It's so un-Ridge.)
You're doing so great! 😀 HFTF👗is great! 😃 You have a great team 🙂 and that ain't easy! Your collaboration is great! 😊 It's all great! 😀 Everyone else thinks you're great too! 😃 And you and Luna are great! 👩‍❤️‍👨 Keep up the great! 😁
RJ: With Hope's vision, anyone coul--
Ridge: Nah. Not anyone. You're GREAT!

Luna and Poppy at FC

Luna: Ohhhhhhhh noooooooo.😟 I think I might be pregnant.🤰I have this pregnancy test, but I think instead of taking it, we should just speculate back and forth.
Poppy and Luna: (play 20 questions❓) We know you had sex❓ Yah 😟. With two guys❓Yah 😣. Did you use protection❓Yah 😢. Do you feel sick❓🤢 Yah yah yah! 🤢🤮 Have you ever felt like this before❓Noooooooooooooooo! 😩 It's a special, unique, new kinda sick! 😖

Poppy: Oh! YAY! 😃👏👏👏 Told you so 😏.
Luna: I don't wanna baby! 👶🍼 Wah! 😩
Poppy: (💭 Yah. Obviously sweetheart. You might think you're grown, but you're still a BABY! And kind of a big baby 🫤.) Don't get ahead of yourself. It could be something else. 🙄
Luna: Yah! 🙄 But nah 😞. Maybe I should just take the test? (💭💡🤔)
Poppy: Yah. Great idea💡 sweetheart. 😐
(⏰ Alarm rings.)
Luna: 😫 I can't loooooook! 🫣 You loooooooook!
Poppy: 👀
Luna: 😟

Deacon and Liam at Il Giardino

Liam: Wtf are you doing? 🤨
Deacon: Working. Living my life. Saving Sheila. 😏
Liam: (💭 I'ma jump right into his business bc we used to hang out back when I was married to his daughter.) No one but you is happy Sheila's alive. 😒
Deacon: (💭 Dude. How is this your business? 🤔) I'm thrilled 😃 she's alive and so is Finn! 👨‍⚕️
Liam: 🤨 Ohhh, hey, that Finn part, that won't work for Steffy 😡.
Deacon: You want me to wish someone dead? 💀 Nah.
Liam: Wellll, no but you've invented an imaginary version of Sheila! 😇 Sheila BAD! 👺 She did all the very bad 😈 things. Don't you get that? Amirite?
Deacon: But not ONLY the bad things. Also a good thing - tryna save Steffy.🦸‍♀️
Liam: But the bad is very BAD 👹. And how do you know she tried to save Steffy? 🤔 You have only her word! She could be making shit up 🫲 left and right 🫱! She could be spinning stories ✍️, telling tall tales, presenting you with her fantasy 🧙🪄 fiction, exaggerating 😦, LYING!
Deacon: Or not. Look, I'm happy she's alive! And I didn't listen to anybody. If I hadn't searched texts📱, credit card 💳 receipts 🧾, and if Finn and I hadn't tracked her down and saved her from being chained up ⛓️ in that warehouse, she really would be dead ☠️😵.
Liam: Yay Columbo. 🔎 But what about STEFFY? I'm concerned about STEFFY! I have STEFFY on the brain! Finn can't protect STEFFY (💭 so I will!)
Deacon: Steffy is fine. Gah. I know Sheila's psycho 😵‍💫 history (💭🪓➰🔪🔥). And she knows I'm not a big fan of the attempted murders and shit. I was like, babe. Stop. 🛑 Not cool. And she was like, for you and my son, okaaaay, fine, I'll stop. ppffrrtt. Sheesh. 🙄
So yah, she's changed. She hasn't sprouted angel 😇 wings 🪽 but she's no threat. And Steffy can be relieved that Steffy The Blade Forrester 😏 didn't kill 🔪 Finn's birth mother.
Liam: Not funny. 🤨 All Steffy wants is NO Sheila in their lives. So maybe you and Finn could at least lay off the happy dance!🕺🕺
Deacon: Steffy could choose to be open minded and at least give Sheila a chance.
Liam: Nah! 🤨
Deacon: I'm in a happy dance🕺, cartwheel🤸‍♂️, spike the ball 🏈 in the end zone kinda mood. So's Finn. 😃
Liam: 😒

Steffy and Sheila at Deacon's apartment

(Sheila flashes back to Deacon's latest proposal. Steffy knocks, then bursts in 😠).
Steffy: YOUUUUUU! 😡😤 Alive and well! Blech! 🤮
Sheila: Hiyeee.👋 I realize that you hate me, that you don't want to see my face, that you wish I were dead 💀, that all you can think about is the list of my violent 🪓➰🔪crimes against your family, but heyyyy. Let's chat. Why not? 🫲☺️🫱. I've been wanting to talk to you.
Steffy: Grrr! Snort! 😤
I hope you can at least understand Finn's feelings 💗💕😃. He's jumping for joy 🤸‍♂️that I'm alive.
Steffy: 😡
Sheila: You too can feel the same if you just give a girl a chance, will ya? We can get our nails done 💅 and our hair cut 💇‍♀️💇‍♀️✂️ together!

Art of my players in Tri-Wizard Tournament from Level 9: Dweamorcore
Context: my arcane caster players got wrapped up in becoming students of Dweamorcore and got to participate in the tri wizard tournament. The picture features the first challenge involving stealing an egg from an adult white dragon. My players easily took lead in this race by using a broom of flying to quickly reach the dragon before the rest of the wizards and snuck in using invisibility, pass without a trace, and a nasty wall of force that they used to wrap around the dragon to prevent it from attacking them when they snatched the egg. They first snatched the egg quietly without the kobolds in the cave knowing they were there but right after taking an egg, they woke up the dragon, told it that many more wizards would be making their way to steal her eggs, and dipped out of there with a dimension door. The dragon was furious and right when the players escaped the dragon’s icy lair they dropped the wall of force and unleashed the beast to wreak havoc against the other contestants.
FYI the dhampir rogue left the party after realizing how brutal the dungeon was and how many creatures were immune to psychic damage and had blindsight. He was one of those psychic rogues. That player decided to create a scribe earth genasi wizard named Gorm whom originally worked as a tour guide who showed waterdavians willing to pay what the dungeon was like down to the 3rd level. He dared not go deeper than that. This wizard also worked as a crime organizations “acid man” and was tasked to remove evidence with his acid magic whenever these crime groups needed him.
