2024.05.20 07:31 Beneficial_Cry2895 Neighborhood Watch Is Gangstalking

Hello, posting this to help people out who don't know what's going on.
When I first figured out I was being watched by these people I would try my best to avoid them and take side streets and nature paths in order to learn the extent I was being followed.
Turns out many many people, it seems like most people are apart of Neighborhood Watch and very few people were not invited.
My family and friends are apart of neighborhood watch and refuse to talk to me about it I don't know why. Well, they aren't my family and friends anymore because real friends & family don't do that.
I was told by someone who works for CSIS how to get off the watchlist here's how you do it:
Don't look suspicious, don't act paranoid, don't be negative or aggressive, don't do crime, live a normal life and pretty much just ignore it. Work your job, have a normal routine and stop associating with certain people in your life who might be a criminal.
Sounds odd because I've been getting stalked by these people since I was 13 but that was during a period where I was being bullied by people in my school immensely so that might have gave Neighborhood Watch an incentive to watch me in order for my protection.
Anyway not to talk too much about myself here... If you live your life for a long time, and I mean a long long time Neighborhood Watch and the Feds who are the mastermind behind this see that there is nothing going on with you they'll move on and stop watching you.
Right now, you're where the money's at. For whatever reason there's an incentive to watch you and that gives them a reason to do their job, write reports etc and gives them a reason to justify the surveillance and when these numbers where people are being watched they will be able to justify to courts why the need more funding for this type of surveillance.
I've been attacked by people on Neighborhood Watch many many times and have been set up several times to get arrested for crimes I didn't do. I've been set up so many times and it's all so they can justify why they need to watch me.... It's all BS they don't want to let me go, they want to aggravate me, harass me, stalk and attack me in order to keep me in a alert, panicked, negative and spiteful frame of mind in order for them to get me to retaliate and justify the surveillance for them in order for them to fill out reports to use in the courts so they can keep their numbers high, increase their fundings which will increase their pay, yadayadaya.
Stay out in the open, because they look for ways to attack and harass you in ways you'll have a hard time proving that they're doing that because these people are afraid of getting caught and are afraid of the police.
I've pissed off so many of these people by playing their game back (nothing illegal) and I've watched them get pissed off, yell at me, walk around me trying to find anything they can use to get back at me and what stops them is that they are in public and on camera, or other stalkers who WILL snitch on them are watching their move too because there are good, good and naive and ignorant stalkers who will snitch on their own stalkers if they see anything they do that's wrong. I've had stalkers snitch on other stalkers and tell the police that someone attacked me and that person got arrested and I doubt they're still on the Neighborhood Watch anymore.
I believe it's a CIA program at it's core trying to hurt people, manipulate people, behavior modify people whatever it is that CIA is known to do in the past I believe they're still doing it through Neighborhood Watch.... Mass shooters are on the rise and I believe CIA might be experimenting on people in ways where they can get away with it, just like how Neighborhood Watch people are trying to stalk you and harass you in ways they can get away with it and make it hard for you to prove it's happening.
Basically stay in the open, try your best not to retaliate, keep a normal routine and don't do anything illegal or shady and they'll see that nothing is going on with you over a LONG time and they'll move onto someone else. The person who works for CSIS told me that they'll come back and check up on you again, and again, a few times until they finally stop so keep that in mind. The stalkers are also getting stalked occasionally but they aren't away, like we are.
The best way to spot these stalkers is if they have their phone out and the phone camera is pointed at you these people always have their phone out, and earphones in their ear sometimes they'll keep it in one ear and sit on a bus or somewhere or walk by you with the other ear faced to you showing nothing's in their ear meanwhile they got an earpod often times in the other ear on the side not faced to you.
They'll show you if you confront them that they aren't recording you or that they don't have their voice call/face time up but they're able to minimize it or close it, then turn it back on when you aren't looking, I promise you they are face timing someone and that person who is face timing you is screen recording everything.
Ignore the posts about freemasons, illuminati, all that stupidness it's THEM trying to discredit people from speaking out and make us all sound crazy it's simply Neighborhood Watch and CIA/CSIS/NSA that's behind all of this, but the people on foot they're all Neighborhood Watch and they get paid by Patreon, it's all volunteer work some of them do get paid but it's from donations for example, some neighborhood watches have everyone donate $5 a month and pool it all together and these people get paid mcdonalds, or gift cards, and the extreme stalkers can up to $300 a week or more depending on how often they're stalking.
The intelligence agencies do recruit people from time to time, but most of the time, like 98% of the time it's simply Neighborhood Watch and disinformation assholes online trying to confuse everyone about what's actually going on.
Keep spreading the word, it's simply Neighborhood Watch and the Federal Intelligent Agencies behind all of this.... maybe you hit their radar for whatever reason just don't give them an incentive to watch you anymore like I said earlier and you'll be fine and remember, the stalkers occasionally get stalked too so don't take it personal and if you're dealing with bad neighbors harassing you maybe find legal ways to piss them off but legal, nothing illegal for example... crank up your music full blast (provided it's not past the legal limit) and put it up towards your ceiling or something like that.
Also.... one more important thing to tell you.
Some of these guys can see through your walls right? Yeah, I'm very familiar with this.
Look up the device called VAYYAR.... It allows people to see through the ceiling, the floor and the walls and it's very cheap this is the sort of device they use to spy through the walls and also please check your outlets because I had a pinhole camera in my washroom very nasty stuff they did to me but I want to spread the word because I wanna help anyone I can out there.
For police who try to suggest mental health problems, simply say you aren't a danger to yourself and others, and don't say you're mad or violent or anything negative just keep it simple and they'll have nothing they can use to apprehend you and put you in a mental hospital because some of them who know what's going on usually the supervisors want to make you scared and shut you up but I'm not a conformist not in the slightest and neither should you be.... Stand up for yourself we're dealing with evil vigilantes who are told propaganda about us in order to get them to sometimes hate us and they feel justified in doing what they're doing to us.
There's many ways to legally piss people off just in case your case is severe and you're dealing with people who are maliciously trying to hurt you and get away with it, and no cops are helping you. I've seen cases where they were jumping on someone's tiny home at night and throwing eggs at someone's house, or meeting someone where there's no cameras and assaulting their target and running off and cops don't help that person it's terrible and you don't need to put up with that so I'll tell you some tips:
Take a picture with your flash on and let them know you took a picture of them. Sometimes they'll get right in front of you and/or yell at you.... it's just them trying to intimidate you into stopping but they will not and cannot touch you because they know other stalkers are watching this go down, or cameras are in the area do not be intimidated even if it's a big scary looking person if you know they're a stalker then do not be intimidated at all it's all BS trust me, they will not touch you, and in the odd case they do press charges and get that stalker the jail time they need and file a lawsuit against that person and get paid if you can but 99.99% of the time they will not touch you, they'll only act like they will.
Don't take pictures of any children or teenager follows or harassing you, especially since they're children just accept that they've been duped and if they're actually breaking the law though and you can prove it, like if they're harassing you then video tape of course and protect yourself but only if you can prove it 100%
Be careful with taking videos and pictures, because sometimes they are recording you and won't stop or react as you're doing it and then they'll post what you're doing on their Facebook, Twitter, instagram, snapchat, youtube or wherever else even Discord and will frame you as a weirdo even though they are so be careful.
If you're walking by, no one's going to blame you for being a Klutz and accidentally step on their shoes or toes, I mean, things happen right?
Or if you have a water bottle you bought from the store and the lid is hard to open, no one is going to blame you if you accidentally open the water bottle and your arm flings to the side with the bottle in hand and you end up splashing one of them in the faces.
No one is going to blame you, if you have a coffee in your hand and you trip and you spill it all over them, or if you walk by and your heavy bag hits them in the head, I mean these are all accidents and no one can blame you for it just make sure you're not doing it on purpose ;)
They want to play their game, well there are ways we can play this back. We don't have to be as careful anymore when it comes to being considerate, or being mindful of where peoples feet are on the bus or subway, or wherever we no longer need to be mindful just don't do anything on purpose ;) and you're all good.
If you're being tailed by a stalker and cops won't listen to you.... Go to a side street at night as you're being stalked and while this is taking place, have in your trunk some big thick and possible sharp gravel or rocks in a bag and dump them all over the road where you know your stalker will be driving... lets say they drove past you... They'll take a U-Turn and drive back, so dump it wherever you know they'll be coming and say F them and their tires, they shouldn't be stalking you anyway.
I'll try to make more posts in the future if i can but I believe the Mods on this subbreddit are the ''Gangstalkers'' and they are controlling what is put out there so in case this post doesn't even make it, I'll simply just PM everyone on a day to day basis with this information instead and I'll make my own subreddit and PM everyone to join that one if the Mods feel like playing that game by censoring true and helpful information.
This is how things are right now the World isn't perfect. You're not the only one, bad people are in this World don't take it personal. Find God, find Spirituality find something meaningful and don't let anyone take that away from you be strong.
Good luck.

2024.05.20 07:30 toomanythoughts__ the magic of kpop

before i start please dont drop condescending comments because i know people love to deviate to that with conversations like this.
that being said! is anyone starting to feel like kpop is losing its magic a little? i never thought kpop was sunshine and rainbows i was aware of the negative sides to it but i always felt like there was authenticity there in whatever regard. idk it might be because of all the recent controversies happening but kpop is really starting to lose some appeal to me. the music is still good i think but its not really as fun as it used to be. i feel like now i always think about whats going on behind the scenes i also just think maybe i was more native about what kind of industry kpop was.
recently ive been thinking about bts and how much i do actually miss them and how i feel there is gap in the industry where they were and i was wondering why and i think it was the authenticity maybe? as in authenticity with them as artists. other groups are making great music they have the talent they can perform there are groups that seem close with each other and have bonds but i guess what i miss is the authenticity bts seemed to have especially towards music and their crafts. again thats not to say that other groups dont have that but now it seems to be over shadowed by sales numbers the amount of album versions and the concepts. and then add on all the controversies and it just all feels a bit eh...with bts for example idk i felt a genuineness in what theyre doing and the work they would put out maybe because they were heavily involved in it even in the beginning (the rapline specifically) ..i think now companies are more interested in having an idol thats like a star and is marketable rather than fostering an environment where idols can be creative? idek what it is exactly i wish i could pin point it like maybe it was all their raw content where they were very open about their struggles as artists and as people were as now i feel like idols want to maintain this image of being perfect (not that i blame them with the way kpop fans and the gp react sometimes but still).
maybe there was a side of me that was a bit naive to kpop and all that and now its more of a reality check too im not really sure
idk if any of this makes sense and again i want to emphasis that i know there are still groups out there that are doing the things i listed but i guess im not sure why im not feeling the same about it. do yall think it is all the mess thats going on? how are yall feeling about it these days? what do yall think makes kpop special or what is it missing?

2024.05.20 07:29 HumorCiudad Interesting discussions from FMKorea. Thoughts?

Right after GEN became the MSI champions, there was a post on FMKorea about whether pro players should be evaluated based on his career.
The title of the post says, "The current iteration of GEN seems to be the final stop of the "Career is Everything" theory.
"We assess players as a good player because we think they are regardless of his career achievements. You can't possibly think Chovy and Kiin are bad players for not having a trophy and they now have become a clutch player simply because they have a trophy?"
My opinion is that one's career should be factored into when making an evaluation on a player. Curious to hear how other rats think about this.

2024.05.20 07:28 CityLife98 Second date fail? Men, what do you think

Went on the first date which was fun and flirty, he messaged that night saying he had a good time with me and wanted to see each other again.
The next morning I messaged him to take initiative, then me being slightly cheeky.. I asked him to join me for my afternoon coffee and walk, to which he agreed to and even tried to cancel his friend who was coming to see him in the afternoon. Just as I arrived to the coffee shop, my anxiety was through the roof, to which he probably picked up on. He paid for the coffee and cake, and agreed to do the walk. As we were doing to walk I felt an energy change. It wasn't as flirty as the night before. He seemed very direct. Perhaps he was feeling shy or on edge? We exchanged some laughs and talked about family. However, most of the conversations were about him. Towards the end of the date he made a comment that it was a long walk. When we got to where our cars were he took interest and asked me about what I would be doing in the evening (I was going out for dinner with friends), and thanked me for the walk. He gave me a hug and left, where as the night before, he gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. I instantly felt anxious that he may have lost interest in me or the date.
After my dinner, I had sent him a photo of the food and left a message.. he was asleep and messaged the next morning (today) saying the food looked good and why I didn't enjoy it. I responded back and he read my message and never responded back.
Men, what would cause this sudden change?

2024.05.20 07:28 Content-Wrongdoer-61 Found a cheap guitar listing, is it a good deal?

I'm in the market to find a left handed guitar that's within my 200 dollar budget, so I've been scouring different sources and avenues to find used guitars. I came across this this listing on Facebook marketplace and I'm struggling to understand what I'm looking at or reading to be honest. I've heard people say that yamaha pacificas are decent guitars but the low price point and laundry list of add-ons that you can see in the description of the listing is confusing me a bit. I'm still a newbie so this kinda stuff goes over my head and idk if most of it is cosmetic or what. So I was hoping some people here would be able to tell me if this is a good deal or maybe elaborate on the quality of all the extra add-ons this guitar has. Normally I'd just go for something without all the bells and whistles but if it turns out that this is a good deal well I'd be a fool to pass it up I suppose.

2024.05.20 07:28 b_-_b I feel like I can’t get over this break-up.

I have been dating with my ex for 4 months. Even though it was not that long, we had so many memories together. He was my first boyfriend after becoming 18 so I have done many things with him for the first time.
He was such a good person. He was kind, caring and nice. I could feel that he loved me a lot. The problem between us was me. I wasn’t honest and sometimes acted like an asshole. But at one moment, I realised that this relationship was wrong and I should not hurt him.
I told him to break up. I still love him but I know I can’t hurt my beloved like this so I let him go. He deserves much better than me.
But my heart feels like it’s so broken. I feel like I can’t date with any other person. I still love him and want him to stay with me but at the same time I know this relationship will not work and I will keep hurting him. I blocked him on every social media so that I don’t contact him when I get drunk and deleted all photos of him.
People might say that time is medicine but I don’t think time will solve mine. So heartbreaking. He seems like he’s okay and I’m happy with this but I’m so painful. I might be getting my karma back.

2024.05.20 07:27 Mysterious-Diver-514 Someone parked in my private car spot. What are my rights?

Own an Apartment with a private car spot in a car port.
First noticed a random car parked there 6 days ago. Left a note the next day asking them to please move their car. No action for the last 6 days. I also don't think they've moved at all.
I contacted body corp 2 days ago, sent them photos. Advised to contact the Police who might be able to get in touch directly with owner via phone.
I've definitely seen the car around - mostly parked on the street, because only 1 car spot per apartment, and I think it is a couple with 2 cars - I suspect they've gone away and left their additional car in my spot because it's no parking on one side of the road thursdays 8-9, and friday's on the other side 8-9, and so maybe they've gone away for >1 week and wanted to avoid the ticket. I don't know their contact details or which apartment.
I haven't heard anything from the police or body corp since, and now I'm left without a car spot and have to walk a decent distance to building from where I have to park.
What are my rights? Can I call a towing company and get them towed? Is it not trespassing as the car spot is under the title of my apartment which I own and thus technically not common area goverened by body corp?

2024.05.20 07:26 Crafty-Bunch-2675 Is there a workaround to the problems trying to download a folder/simultaneous files from a cloud storage?

I am hoping this is the correct forum for this.
Someone recently shared me a photo album of family pictures. They shared it via cloud storage.
The only problem I am having is this.
Even if the folder itself is less than 1Gb large, the only way I can download it is by painstakingly downloading each picture separately.
If I click the whole folder, it automatically starts downloading as a zip folder, and gets stuck loading or tells me network error.
Even when I am clicking the individual photos...if I make the mistake of highlighting more than one photo...it puts them in a zip folder...and gets stuck with no progress.
This same problem occurs whether I try to download it from google cloud of from microsoft one drive. It happens whether I open Microsoft edge, or Google Chrome.
This is really annoying. It is very tedious to have to individually click 100 pictures to download them

2024.05.20 07:25 BokoblinSlayer69235 How to grow my channel as an Autistic person who's annoying?

I've a Facebook group with 20,000 people, and I decided to make a YouTube channel, but most of my members either aren't seeing when I post about my channel, or are ignoring it. Where do you suggest I go to expand my growth? I'm thinking of making goofy videos related to D&D, such as today I made a "Smash or Pass Monster Manual A-E" video that has 80 views, not too bad for a new channel I suppose.
Also, per my title, I'm Autistic and many people are annoyed by me, so I've been banned from many relevant Facebook groups.

2024.05.20 07:24 Girlnextdoor_2722 I want to learn coding

Okay the title is not that clear. I am from mechanical engineering background and didn’t have any CS subjects apart from python. I want to learn how to build websites mostly for my own knowledge. I am not looking for a job in FAANG or whatever. I just want to be good at what I would be doing.
Aim : To build a website on my own and later get into AI and stuff.
Reason : Mainly because I get FOMO and lack understanding when I am hiring developers. Sometimes developers have even cheated because I lacked CS knowledge.
Any recommendations are welcome. You can even suggest some paid courses which have benefited you. I don’t want Bootcamps for fake projects for my portfolio I just want to be able to build well. I am sure it would take a lot of time to be good at it but I want to start somewhere. Looking for suggestions from people who are already building something from scratch. Thanks in advance

2024.05.20 07:22 Renatuh Il mio/la mia etc VS mio/mia

Sorry if the title is weird, I'm not good at that. I'm learning Italian and have been in a fight with duolingo at times. The problem is I will type a sentence either leaving in the preposition or leaving it out. For instance I just had a sentence during my Italian lesson where "my" needed to be translated to "mio", so when I wrote "il mio", it was marked as incorrect and I lost a heart... But other times I will use only "mio" and it will be incorrect because they wanted me to use "il mio".
So my question is, is there a rule for this and if so, can someone explain what it is? When do I use "il mio" VS "mio", "la mia" VS "mia", "i miei" VS "miei" and other similar constructions? Or does it only matter to duolingo because they use an exact sentence to sentence translation without any leeway? Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

2024.05.20 07:22 lozzadearnley The absolute state of my Facebook feed, comparison of ads vs suggested vs ACTUAL content.

I refreshed my feed and at the top is a post from a page I follow. I then scrolled through SEVEN ads and THIRTEEN suggested post from pages that I've never interacted with, before I got to another post from someone I follow. Which isn't counting the reels/shorts or the "people you might know" and "pages you might enjoy". And half of the posts on pages I follow are outright scams that admin and Meta refuse to do anything about.
I'm forced to use Facebook for work, and the marketplace is the only component that doesn't make me want to rip my hair out - and its still pretty shit. One day, enough people will stop using Facebook so that I no longer can justify using it myself for advertising, and maybe I can finally turn this ridiculous app off for good. Until then I'm just part of the problem too, and I hate it.

2024.05.20 07:20 Idealcosmos Can’t decide if optometry is for me…

Hello everyone,
As the title states, I cannot figure out if optometry is for me… I feel like I’m making things more difficult than it has to be? I hope I can find people who have similar experiences and can give some advice on what I should do. I’ve been on this indecisive journey for a couple years now and it’s starting to affect my mental health. I‘m at a point in my life where I just want a quiet/little life and be happy, but I also don’t want to regret my decision saying no to optometry.
I am 26F and a first-generation student who graduated with a biology degree in 2020. None of my family has pursued a doctor’s degree before, and so I’m kind of navigating through this myself. Ever since graduating I was able to obtain a contact lens technician position for about 2 years now, working at an OD/MD office. While in college I always had an interest in eyes, but decided against going to optometry right away, so I can obtain work experience and become a competitive applicant.
Reasons why I wanted a career in optometry: meaningful purpose to help others with vision, interest in science, good work-life balance, be apart of a community that I can relate to as I wear glasses myself, a good income (I will be grateful getting anything above 100k as I come from a low-income family).
Now that I’ve worked in the field, I’m starting to debate if this is what I want long term because of the patients… It’s almost like a love-hate relationship. I love working with the patients who are kind and grateful, but hate it when I have to deal with entitled/rude patients who’s not happy with everything I say or do. When it comes to difficult patients, it really drains the life out of me. I fumble with my words and my voice/hands shake due to the encounter. My anxiety rises and sometimes it’s those patients who I think about the most about. Sometimes I go home and continue to think about them. It drains me thinking about their follow-up because I worry about another negative encounter.
I try to be understanding of the patients, knowing that maybe they had a bad day, but sometimes I cannot put myself to understand why I have to deal with this kind of behavior as I did nothing wrong and I’m getting the end of the stick. I feel like I’m the most patient/understanding person ever, but I feel like as I continue to do this, I’m not sure how long that will last. Maybe because I’m a “contact lens tech” and not a doctor… maybe I’m the one getting the end of the stick? Does it get any better if I become an optometrist? How am I supposed to follow-up with these types of patients throughout the years knowing they might be disrespectful each time I see them? As a doctor, is this something you get used to over the years?
Then I have other questions that make me doubt myself: What if I can get into optometry school but can’t pass boards, what are my next options? Is a 300k student loan worth it? Should I pursue a different degree that wouldn’t have such an impact on my mental health but still earn the same income? Is the grass greener on the other side?
And I’ve shadowed 3 optometrists before, but I don't feel that “spark” where I know optometry is for me. I am a bit torn because I do enjoy learning about the eyes and a meaning/purpose in a career matters to me, but I feel like this job will drain me out long term because I’m such a people pleaser and introvert. Sometimes I find small talk difficult and it’s hard to connect/relate to patients outside of their eyes. Some days I don’t feel like interacting with strangers and I just don’t have the energy to care about their story outside of their vision. Some days I don’t feel like going above and beyond. Thus, I don’t feel confident that I’ll be a personable/relatable doctor. I’m worried this might affect my bedside manner and I’ll become that awkward doctor and that’s something I definitely don’t want. Am I not fit to be an eye doctor if I have these thoughts?
I feel this pressure to make a decision soon because I don’t want to finish school later than 32y/o and would like to settle and start a family right after school. Optometry/vision is all I know so switching careers completely is difficult. I wouldn’t know what other career paths would be a good fit for me.

2024.05.20 07:20 QualityFlour_178 Should I ever write a book?

I’ve been thinking about this in the past 7 months or so and I don’t have anyone to talk about this. I’ve multiple full stories already, just don’t know if I should actually start writing. I always loved books, movies and tv serieses and the first thing I was looking for in it was a good story, then the others(ex: special effects…). A great story that I can get obsesssed with and just want to know the end of it was always the best thing in for me, especially in horror. The most important story I have created is titled: Something is Wrong. Its about this 90s teen friend group making the most fun of their last year of high school in their small little town. Expect our main character of the friend group, Oliver. Oliver has a burn mark on his right face, he got it from a house fire When he was 8 years old. He not only lost his house, but his parents too. His big brother Ben has been taking care of him. But something happend to him in this fire. Ever since he got this burn mark he has been having somekind of visions. In these visions his burn mark starts full on burning, which makes Oliver scream in pain.These visions never happened in real life. Because of these visions his burn mark never healed fully. These visions were rare, but in the last week they started to get almost every day experience, he is having visions of something violent and slaughter. It seems like these visions are getting real. This is the basic story. The whole friend group would be introduced with their personalities and daily lives. Would this be a good book? If I ever write it, it will have illustration of the characters made by me, because I like to draw and have been drawing them for a really long time now.

2024.05.20 07:14 butterflymeechie My husband situation(AITAH)

I met my husband 16 years ago. He was reluctant to introduce me to his family outside his sibling. I met his sibling in an appropriate timing and we hit it off, now BFF. However, he delayed meeting anyone else in his family for as long as he could. I will say close to a year in our relationship, his grandmother needed help. I was at his apartment and he asked me if I would like to meet her. I said sure. He warned me about her. (His parents passed away before we met). I literally met everyone in his life except his direct family. I didn't get it at first 😕, but as time moved on, he was ready for me to meet more family. I began to realize why he kept me away from them. It was a holiday and I didn't realize what I got myself into. I was in love with my bf (now husband) at the time and think it would be that bad. When I saw his grandmother she 1. Talk about my outfit (I had a blazer, scarf, nice pants and a nice plain shirt, nothing revealing). 2. She then asked if her grandson put his hands on me. I was taken back from this because my husband is sweet as a pie. He doesn't even call women out their name when he has conflict. I walked away from her and enjoyed the rest of the evening with extended family that seem pretty cool.
Fast forward, at our wedding his grandmother attempt to sabotage our wedding by trying to be late (his sibling almost left her because grandmother knew the sibling was in our wedding). When she got there, she made fun of my 9 year cousin as the flower girl (fat shame), talked about me to my closet people who told me after the ceremony. Then made a speech that was disrespectful to us. Yet, my husband still kept his cool and enjoyed the even. His uncle was upset that we would not allow him to officiate our wedding and throughout the planning would ask me inappropriate questions about our relationship. After we were married, my husband got sick and was hospitalized. He was reluctant to tell anyone outside of his sibling but he did. Family came to visit. One family member decided it was a good time for a photo shoot (wired😒) but again my sweetie was a trooper up until that family member decided verbal outburst, I wasn't family and that I had to be a niece through blood. The rest of the family called him out for his bs. I let it go.
Fast forward again (it gets worst) at our baby shower his grandmother sits in the back again taking trash. Even hinted if my baby was her grandson (basically calling me a slut). I told the sibling she had to go. She also disregarded her other grandchildren at the shower. One of his family members that attended the wedding help bring our gifts home, only to attempt to convince my husband to allow him to move in. Of course my husband said HELL NAH! After my daughter was born, we did infant photos, only for his grandmother to degrade the photographer and her race. Again kicked her out and paid for a ride home.
(It gets worst) for a long time my husband decided to disengage with his family. His grandmother called and said she was severely sick. Of course, my husband reach out to her children and sibling to band together to support his grandmother. Only to learn she lied. And even made it seem like my husband made it all up to her children. I heard her tell him this. I was pissed. He again cut her off.
Now, his grandmother's health is not the best (non life threatening) her sons are trying to guilt trip my husband in taking the lead. His grandmother has 5 functioning children. My husband refuse to let them meet our daughter and refuse to communicate with them. (They are the most toxic people in the world) My husband is the most loving sweet guy. His sibling is amazing as well. It is so bad but I'm afraid if I list everything it will go on forever. Now relative are reaching out trying make contact, even reaching out to me. I told my husband I support his choice to disconnect and draw boundaries. He has tried to be a family man but constantly got egg in his face.
Now, our daughter is growing up with amazing family that support and love us genuinely. Some of his family believe he is overreacting but I don't. He has been through hell with these people.

2024.05.20 07:11 tragic_girl13 Album of the Week: Pack Up The Cats by Local H (1998)

Album of the Week: Pack Up The Cats by Local H (1998)
I've been srsly waiting to cover this record as it is one of my all time favorite albums ever (my fav by my 2nd fav band- behind Nirvana), specifically it's my 3rd fav album ever (behind Bleed American [by Jimmy Eat World] for 2nd and In Utero for 1st), but one of the main reasons I wanted to cover it so badly is cuz it's ABSOLUTELY, CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED AND DESERVED WAYYYY BETTER THAN WHAT IT ENDED UP WITH. So let's give it some due love and justice here by honoring it for AOTW...
Local H were years into their fame after the hit of Bound For The Floor off their moderately successful yet also very underrated 1996 record, As Good As Dead. After coming back from their As Good As Dead tour, the duo came to record the follow up with full creative reigns from their label Island. Island gave them such trust to where they got the producer for many classic rock bands like Queen, The Who, and The Cars, Roy Thomas Baker, and also Stone Temple Pilots' Dean DeLeo featured as a guest (literally on my fav song off the album and by them and overall a top 10 song in general). The first single, All The Kids Are Right, was released in August of 1998 and became their second most popular song ever, which furthered their label's enthusiasm and the album released on September 1st of 1998 to acclaim and positive reviews, ending up on several best of end of year lists. However, tragedy would strike as Island's parent label Polygram would enter a merger with Universal. Local H had been through a merger before during recording of As Good As Dead and came out with their biggest hit and success, but this one was tragic. The label merger basically left Pack Up The Cats to be swept under the rug, even a 2nd single in All Right (Oh Yeah), wouldn't save the album. The tour was a success, however. Local H soon left Island after Universal apparently wanted them to basically sellout to which frontman Scott Lucas stood by his principles. Soon though, drummer Joe Daniel's would leave the band and Local H would officially go on hiatus after, coming back 4 years later with a new drummer and album.
Pack Up The Cats is a concept album about a mid-level man who runs a mid-level band which gets big and sells out leading him and his partner to live a rockstar life with his ego and dive into growing insanity getting worse until the band blow it live one day and he reaches his breaking point leading to the band becoming nobodies and ending in him gratefully looking back on the good times with acceptance of the end. It's an absolutely wonderful and unique concept with such humor and emotion put into it with the concept of the album being mainly analogized with cats. Each song has more polish than its predecessor (but just the right amount of polish) and all the songs transition into the next, almost always seamlessly (some transitions are a bit messy but don't detract at all from the songs merit), and the connections make the album truly feel like a story of one's descent into madness. As for the songs, they all rule. Opener All Right (Oh Yeah) just starts the record off with a bang, "Cha" Said The Kitty is extremely swift and catchy, Lucky is a nice short sorta eerie song with cats meowing (keeping with the constant theme of cats), Hit The Skids is probably my 2nd fav off the album and has a killer cool answering machine added in (itself was released as a bonus track), 500K Scovilles is wonderfully unapologetic noise and scream-singing, What Can I Tell You? is another eerie song that's catchy as hell, Fine & Good is a nice little collectively cathartic song, Lead Pipe Cinch is a short soothing quietly acoustic song, Cool Magnet is one of the best songs ever made... enough said... She Hates My Job is a relaxing, fun, and sweet song, Stoney is mysterious, cool short interlude, Laminate Man is a nice simple song with an absolutely killer breakdown ending that features the bassline of Cool Magnet with accompanied feedback, All The Kids Are Right is an amazing catchy song with a cool ending (I love the "NEXT!!"), Deep Cut is a great loud distorted song that feels like a breaking point (as intended), and finally Lucky Time closes it up with such relaxation and finesse and is overall a nice reprise of Lucky that makes you feel like you've just gone through one hell of a journey with a happy ending full of such catharsis. All the songs here are just undeniable perfection and show the true potential and major talent that Local H have in songwriting and making, and I just cherish this album to the highest of heavens.
Now I'd like to hear from you guys. What do yall think of PUTC? What's your favorite song? First experience with it? Memories of it? Anything would be lovely!! Have a nice day. ❤️❤️❤️

2024.05.20 07:10 Xvodff Are LCK fans always like this?

The comments I read on X and Facebook all said how BLG was destroyed and disrespected by GenG and how GenG plays like in scrims. Will we watch the same match? All matches are approximately 40 minutes, even match 4 lasted up to 47 minutes. In particular, the camera showed how happy the GenG players were after winning the match. BLG had a good match, GenG just played better. What always confuses me is that LCK fans always act like they are the underdog and after winning, they criticize their opponents a lot. This not only makes me but also makes many other people who don't have a grudge against LCK teams, but it makes us cheer for the team facing the LCK teams.
