2024.05.20 09:55 Competitive_Bit_7904 Jacob's Ladder is the most overhyped attack in the entire series.
I have seen way too many people treat as some easy to use one shot one kill insta blasting kamehamea. But if you really think about it, it just doesn't even come close to that.

- You need to get straight above the target to use it. This means pretty much means you need to be able to fly to use it and get far above the target. In combat just getting into this position would be incredibly hard, especially if the target keeps moving under you.
- It takes quite some time for it to hit when you activate it. We see when Hana chant to activate it there's a fuck ton of shit going on before it starts blasting. First the chant, then a massive ass telegraphed glowing circle forms in the sky, then a bunch of baby angels starts flying and only then it finally hits. It seems incredibly easy to dodge unless you're taken completely off guard.
- Even if it hits, whatever damage it does seems to be not very lasting. Megkuna literally didn't seem bothered at all after he had tanked one and proceeded with his porn level acting on Hana. When Yuta uses it Sukuna is able to immediately afterward gain back his footing and start blasting dismantles.

2024.05.20 09:44 Sad-Nefariousness944 Is it normal to not fully understand the gravity of what happened until years later?
I don’t think I fully understood how intimate of an activity sex was until a few years after I was assaulted. Or maybe I always did but it “deleted” from my mind for a bit? I’ve always been pretty sheltered, and so when I started being sexually active it was like a fun game to me to “win” social points, typa deal. I was the worst, not gonna lie. after being played once i was like “okay i got it, sex is just something you score, forget any intimacy involved” and I just felt very casual about it.
I wasn’t super promiscuous but I was pretty easy in that I saw no issue with having sex with someone I met just that day if we both were down. So when I was raped, I was thinking that it is not that big of a deal. It’s weird because as it happening I remember thinking “this is the one thing i’m not supposed to let a man do, use my body for his own pleasure when i’m not really okay with it and not getting anything out of it”. I felt bad it was a ”bad lay” since I didn’t participate at all, and the experience was added to my list of “meh” hook-ups. Not a tale to tell my friends about. I knew that technically it was rape, but since I didn’t fight back very hard (i was drunk and high and also just very tired since it was the middle of the night) I didn’t consider it “real” , because I just kinda let it happen. I thought “here fine damn if you want sex so bad” while wondering why it had to involve me and why he couldn’t just keep jerking off next to me like he was while i slept.
And i feel my apathy towards sex had something to do with that. But even as it was happening in my head i knew i was going to regret letting it happen. I kept debating if i should fight back for real, but I didn’t want to upset him by rejecting him again and also I was in his home, was thinking he could grab a knife from the kitchen or something. So, now, fast forward 3 years. The few times i’ve tried to have sex again it just didn’t work out, but this one time it was weird— in the middle of hooking up i kind of had this epiphany…like “wait, you’re letting me do THIS to you? With your body? THESE actions and these feelings? Wow, you like me that much?” Hahaha like I couldn’t believe the level of intimacy and I just couldn’t keep going without feeling guilty, like i was doing something evil and wrong to this person.
But what I’m getting at, is its like the intimacy of sex is only comprehending to me now. I’m not sure if it never did before or if it did and I just blocked it out as part of denying being raped. Now, to me it makes complete sense why sex is considered so intimate because of everything involved, having sex with someone who isn’t fully consenting just sounds absolutely nuts to me. Like, it feels like it shouldn’t even be possible and it’s some glitch in the matrix that needs to be patched. Obviously, everyone gets that and understands why rape is so f’d up.
But I’m so confused about my thoughts. It’s like, at first I didn’t feel bad at all because it just seemed like a mechanical kind of thing, dick in pussy is not much different than someone sticking a finger in your ear. But if i think okay, he didn’t misunderstand me, he knew what he was doing, and that was flat-out rape and it happened to me, i feel , like disgusted at times but it doesn’t comprehend more than that. Its the knowing that he enjoyed it in a sexual way that makes me feel disturbed and kind of less-than, even though I know it didn’t actually “ruin” me. I don’t feel ruined, but kind of bummed out. Like, it’s degrading, definitely. And I’m not sure why I think this way about it many years later as opposed to after it first happened. I kind of felt that way when it happened but i also was thinking “hey, ive put up with not-so-great sex before, with strangers, this is no different just tough it out until its over”. But sex never hurt like this. Partners would listen to me if I put my hand on their stomach and slowed down, not go faster and harder. Its knowing that he committed this act intentionally, and understanding that it’s sex. I’m fairly old, not super old but not a teenager. Was I just naive to the sheer intimacy of it, before? I went from thinking of it in terms like “This isn’t ideal, this isn’t a nice thing to do to someone but eh I have endured worse” to thinking of it as an insane violation. Remembering it now I see it in a different way. I’m wondering what he must have been thinking and feeling. Like, there’s nothing more violating I can think of, but this is all in hindsight! And I am wondering if these are my genuine feelings or I am being influenced by how society views sex. It’s probably both, because I am in society, you know? I see it the same way.
In the time after he did that but before I recognized it as rape, when getting dressed I would sometimes stare at my body and think damn it would be a complete nightmare to be raped. To have someone get off to my body without my consent. Grateful that that has never happened to me. And then think nothing more of it while proceeding to do something like wear 3 pairs of pants to ensure it never happened to me “just in case”. But it had already happened to me at this point, I just didnt know it?
This got to be long, I know I should be asking a professional about this but I have no monies right now atm, so any advice insight appreciated, just is this normal is this documented, does it sound like I am maybe asexual or something because i did not or still do not understand .
Tl;dr: sex always felt casual to me, including the rape, now years later as i am growing out of my “casual sex with strangers” phase i realize how bad what happened was, and am just wondering what is going on, if anything. I am worried I am making it bigger deal in my mind than it needs to be since I was more or less fine for so long.

2024.05.20 09:40 forever_in_anguish I (32m) think I've made my mind up
Tldr: 32m realize my 27f ex was terrible to me. Hoping she will have some semblance of integrity has been foolish.
In this relationship you were dishonest, a cheater, abusive, manipulative, spiteful, and used an unborn child as leverage to keep me in this toxic relationship. You failed to mention the two big stds you had as well. I tried to leave bedore and you restrained me threw shit at the wall. You go crazy and taze yourself and i stick through it all. You then get a restraining order on me because I told you I'd take you to court for not letting me be on the birth certificate. The judge knew what you were up to and threw it out. You didn't like the judges answer so you and that horrid person you call a friend tried to screw me over saying I violated it by contact. You had me arrested and now I'm fighting for my freedom and out 3000 dollars and could face 3 years in jail and my diversion be revoked. All for what? Keep lying to yourself but you know what you are and what you have done and in the end we all have to pay for our sins. You once told me your biggest fear was Jesus saying he doesn't know you. There is so much more you have done to me and frankly I'm just tired of this. 3 months and not a word about the pregnancy knowing how much it hurts me. Seriously I tried my best to right my wrongs but you haven't done shit but play victim. I want out. There's no coming back from this. I've been done bad by a lot of people but this is a new level of evil. I've seen more spine in jellyfish. A coward who ghosts knowing full well because of their own guilt. I've tried my best to understand wtf is going on but you can't make sense out of nonsense. Everything I've done was reactionary and never was abusive. Obsessive maybe. But i kept finding out all the lies and it became my focus which I hate myself for. Such a waste of time. I know you have moved on and could care less but I've given enough of myself for literally nothing. I thought so much of you. This wasn't who I fell in love with. The worst part of it all is that I'd rather lie and tell myself it was me and that I was the problem just so I don't despise you. I don't despise you though honey. I just feel sorry for how damaged you are. You know right from wrong. I want you to be happy but it will never be at the expense of my own self worth ever again. Please get help and if this child is mine I will be a part of their life.

2024.05.20 09:39 BarryTownCouncil Letting my alienated child go. A bit.
Yesterday was a big day for me.
From yesterday my 15yo daughter doesn't have a bedroom in this house. Her room has stood untouched for over 3 years, the last pile of laundry waiting to be put away. All in the hope that she'll want to sleep in her bed again. But she doesn't. She's been pushed and pushed to see me as a bad father, a failure of a human and all of her sadness and anxiety have been slowly turned into hate and anger by people she has been tricked into thinking are "protecting" her. My neurodiversity, which Penny shares, has been taught to her to be proof of my failure, not a useful insight into how people work differently, and to open a path to healing and happiness.
But her little sister is getting older and needed a better bedroom. It just wasn't rational or fair on tiddler to keep a larger room as a shrine, by any other name. I wanted to tell my daughter what was happening but it'd somehow be twisted against me if I told her. I hate the thought of her not knowing that there isn't a special room for her any more, but she'd no doubt say she doesn't care. I think she would though, and to find out after the event, I now worry that'll be even more upsetting for her.
Going through her things to think about what to keep for my own memories, and just in case she might want them again some point down the road was so horrible. It's like mourning the death of a child, even though that child is still alive. But I filled a chest with posters, photos, special clothing, toys and memories. It was my therapists strong suggesetion that I get on and do this when I mentioned it in a session. She felt it would help me take a step back from the constant reminder every time i walked past that closed door at the top of the stairs. She encouraged me to wallow in it, cry all the whilst I did it. I shed a few tears, but almost sadly, my AuDHD brain was soon seeing technical problems and challenges as I rearranged the room to make it make sense again. My daughter had insisted of moving the room around into a really illogical layout so she felt she had more privacy from me and her step mother, despite all the love and safety we tried to prove was there. Love she would start responding with after a few days of staying, but would also be heartbreakingly absent every time she arrived back from her mothers.
Maybe I should have done it years ago, it certainly wouldn't have made a difference, as every tiny thing I did to try and encourage her to talk, to me, to anyone except her abusers, to help give her a different perspective on a decade of the tiniest things being blown out of all proportion, and encouraged to be so... It could have all been so different if I had had the confidence to take more of a stand. And if I'd had less faith in human nature. I've certainly learnt a lot about what people are capable of when they're protecting their own damaged egos. Or when they want money.
Love you darling, you're always, always welcome x

2024.05.20 09:38 MirzaJan Baha'i properties in Israel
The startling fact is that until 1952 the Baha’is held no land contiguous to the Shrine, thereby frustrating any hope of development or beautification. When Baha’u’llah ascended, the Mansion was surrounded by small buildings, dependencies of the Mansion itself; which were owned by various Baha’is: one of the believers made a gift of his home for the burial of Baha’u’llah. It was ‘Abdu’l-Baha’s poignant desire to beautify the surroundings of the Shrine but all the property was owned by the Baydun family, Muslims who were close friends of the Covenant-breakers. ‘They were determined that the Baha’is would never own an inch of their land, the parents binding the children in a promise never to sell land to the Baha'is. It is this family who built ditches around the Shrine and planted trees that would close the Shrine off from view.(Leroy Ioas - Hand of the Cause of God by Anita Ioas Chapman)

During the lifetime of Baha’u'llah, ‘Abdu’l-Baha had bought some properties at His direction near the Sea of Galilee and the Jordan River. In one of His Tablets Baha’u’llah, in referring to these properties, speaks of them as forerunners of “noble and imposing structures” to be dedicated “to the worship and service of the one true God”.’ One of the properties was an area of 140 dunams (a dunam being one fourth of an acre) registered in the name of Zikrullah (Dhikru’llah), a descendant of Baha’u’llah’s faithful brother Musa. ‘Abdu’l-Baha told him never to parcel out or sell this land because one day it would be a holy place. Zikrullah left the property to his eldest son, also a trusted Baha’i.
During the war between Israel and the surrounding Arab states that followed the declaration of statehood, the Jewish forces were able to withstand the invading armies. When a truce resolution was adopted by the United Nations, more than half a million Arabs fled the land and settled outside Israel. Among those who fled was the Baydun family whose abandoned property eventually reverted to the State.
The Zikrullah property near Galilee happened to be on the immediate border of Syria with Transjordan in the demilitarized zone, and the State of Israel was very anxious to acquire that land. Officials approached the Zikrullah family to buy their property, but when the Guardian was asked, he said no, the Master told you to keep the land; it cannot be sold. Then someone had the idea of trading this property for the Baydun land around the Shrine of Baha’u’llah. The Guardian approved of this being done and Larry Hautz, the first American to come on pilgrimage after a ten year hiatus due to the troubled conditions in the country, remained in the Holy Land to begin the negotiations. On his departure, Leroy carried the lengthy transaction to its conclusion.
The trade of land was finally accomplished, the Baha’is transferring 140 dunams of land in the city of Ein Gev in the Galilee in exchange for some 160 dunams of land surrounding Baha’u’llah’s Shrine. The head office of the land development department was in Tel Aviv and there, on November 12, 1952, at nine in the morning, Leroy signed the contract for the land with the Government.
[…]
In his message the following year to the Intercontinental Conference in Chicago, Shoghi Effendi again spoke of this precious land: “The stupendous process of the rise and consolidation of the World Administrative Center has been accelerated through the acquisition, in the Plain of ‘Akka, of a one hundred and sixty thousand square meter area, surrounding the Qiblih of the Baha'i world, permitting the extension of the Outer Sanctuary of the Most Holy Tomb — to be designated henceforth the Haram-i-Aqdas . . .” This is when the term came into Baha’i usage.
There is a building alongside the Mansion of Bahji in which the worst remnant of the Covenant-breakers lived. On one of the Master’s darkest days caused by this man’s scheming, ‘Abdu’l-Baha told him that he would live to see the collapse of everything he had done. When the Baydun land was transferred, he still lived on as the Master had predicted, nearly one hundred years old, paralyzed, unable to speak, but looking out as the Guardian’s handiwork took form: the magnificent gardens, the great park, all of it illuminated at night because the Guardian associated light with the Baha’i Manifestations.
[…]
Second only in importance to the acquisition of the Baydun land was the purchase of the twenty thousand square meter site for the future Mashriqu’l-Adhkar on the crest of Mt. Carmel. “It is truly in an imposing position”, wrote the International Baha’i Council in 1955.
[…]
A few days later the Guardian called Leroy over to the Master’s house and said he wished to go up and look at the land for the Temple. During their drive up the mountain the Guardian said: This is a historic day because today we are going to select the site for the Temple. He walked over the entire area, indicating which plots were essential and which were not. He chose the most difficult area to acquire, on the highest point of the mountain, and indicated the exact spot where the heart of the Temple should be; Leroy marked it with a large stone. Today a marble obelisk has replaced the stone. They returned to the car and drove back. Now, the Guardian said, you must get busy and buy that land.
It took two years of effort to acquire it. During the protracted negotiations there was not one person who thought it could be done; everywhere he went, Leroy was told it would be impossible. (Shoghi Effendi once asked, What do you think, Leroy, when these people say you cannot have something you want? Leroy answered: When I know Shoghi Effendi wants it, I just don’t hear their “no”.)
Investigation revealed how involved the question of ownership was. In fact Leroy felt this might facilitate its acquisition, as only God could disentangle such a web. The property had been owned by the Carmelite Order for nine centuries, but during the Mandate the British War Office wanted it for military purposes as it commanded the whole harbor. The Carmelites sold the land to the British with the understanding that they could one day reclaim it. When the Mandate ended, the British agreed to resale of the property but the Carmelites could not pay in hard currency so the contract was never concluded, and both claimed ownership. The State of Israel also claimed ownership through a law that returned to the State any land registered in the name of the British that had not been transferred. Finally, the Israeli defense ministry requisitioned the land stating ownership was immaterial, they needed it, no doubt for the same reasons the British had.
…the defense department occupied the land and difficult negotiations continued with them for many months. One branch of the services was adamantly opposed to relinquishing the land and Leroy requested a meeting in the Defense Minister’s office. ‘The Minister was out of town but a brilliant young deputy chaired the meeting, who, as it turned out, had attended a seminar at Harvard University with one of Leroy’s long-time railroad colleagues. A warm relationship was immediately established and Leroy left the meeting with a letter of intent favorable to releasing the land to the Baha’is. But three persons still objected and it took more lengthy negotiations before they would agree to the release. When it was thought everything had been decided, the official representing the State Domain stood in the way of final settlement, as he would not agree to include the essential plot on which the Guardian had centered the Temple.
Leroy had what he called a “spirited discussion” with him. It centered on two points. One, the suggestion that you put “your building” somewhere other than the area Shoghi Effendi had designated for it. What is so particular about this spot? he asked; we just will not give it to you. Leroy said this is the spot we must have because it 1s a holy place. Leroy asked him why they didn’t move their Wailing Wall [in Arab-held East Jerusalem] over to New Jerusalem; why didn’t they use a wall of the King David hotel? You won’t do it, Leroy said, because the ‘Temple of Solomon was built right there and the Wailing Wall is one of the walls of the Temple. This is our holy place and we don’t move a holy place any more than you do.
Then came the reaction that “because you have dollars” you feel you can buy anything you want, but I am going to prevent the sale of this piece of land to you. Leroy answered that yes, he had dollars, but the Baha’is don’t use money to force people to do things. What have the Baha’is forced you to do? We are building parklands and gardens for you, we are erecting beautiful buildings for you, we use money to serve society. You are a Jew, Leroy said, and if ever a people in history learned what the hand of God can do, it is the Jewish people. I tell you that we are going to have this land because God wants us to have it and no force on earth can stop it.
[…]
…the property was registered in the name of the British War Office it had to be transferred from them to the Carmelites, who then transferred it to the attorney, who then-transferred it to the Baha’is. The Government agreed to a single transfer, so the property was finally passed from the British War Office directly to Shoghi Rabbani in a single transaction.
After the land had been acquired Milly Collins one night asked the Guardian if in future the Temple land and the Shrine properties, two kilometers distant, would not be joined together with gardens. The Guardian said yes, and we will have our own road between the two, but we have to purchase the intervening land where houses are now built.
2024.05.20 09:37 molty_insides217 rant/vent
🔍I had pretyped this just ranting then I realized i can post it anonymously here bc i’m really struggling and would like some outside advice human to human feels like i’m gaslighting myself lol. They have supported me and given me everything I need materialistically and do what they are supposed to as parents in that aspect I am very grateful and appreciative of that. in no way shape or form will I ever complain ab them giving me food, shelter, clothes etc. I’m not seeking to be coddled or get sympathy either i just need to know if it really is that bad or am I tripping.
🔬emotionally manipulative & guilt tripping parents will be their own demise. lol. finally dropping that mask you have with them, making them look at themselves and see the torment i had to mentally internalize & take on over the years > sitting back & letting them continue their behavior and control to keep destroying your identity & self continuing to deal with immense shame, guilt, sadness, and anger because you know how they are and you think theres no point in opening up to them or telling them what they do wrong bc they always do the same shit & continue to blame you for everything. note this though when I finally released all my years of internalized emotions on them and started texting them very knowledgeable shit about themselves, how they treated me, my mom trying to control and ruin me and my girlfriends relationship when we first got together (+ we have continued to be together for 1yr and 3 months still going strong she ain’t ruin shiiiit) & shit talked my gf for no reason at all. When I started texting paragraph after paragraph (+ texting them back and forth.) I was met with my mom thinking something isn’t right regarding my mental health and telling my dad and brother she thinks something is wrong with me again (she was surprised how I could speak so knowledgeable bc I barely even interact with them anymore) them texting my phone asking if everything is okay and they are worried ab me (she’s also made many comments before this situation like “you seem like you need to get back on ur medication you’re being irritable” etc when clearly that was the correct response to some fucked up comment she made i’m sick of that shit.) (sorry that was lowkey irrelevant but holy shit). them throwing what they do for me as PARENTS in my face, blame shifting, manipulation, lying, her saying she has no acknowledgment of ever treating me like that over the years, trying to ruin our relationship, or saying any of the vile shit she said about my gf. OH and how she thought It couldn’t possibly be me that’s writing these exceptional level paragraphs and she thought my gf was controlling me and making me send all of that to my parents(me texting her ab this shit went on for like 3 days, 3 days of her not taking accountability for anything, lying, trying to manipulate by making me feel bad as well and she had the nerve to say “it feels like i’m being abused” GIRLLL STOPPP HUH im still confused ab that one) it’s honestly sickening and baffling knowing ppl can think & say shit like that. i’ve been so detached from them since I was little (never knew why at the time) but THIS makes that detachment 100x worse and I feel like that’s a GOOD thing for me even though the outcome wasn’t what I wanted, bc i’m feeling free, released, not pint-up, etc most importantly more like I can finally be MYSELF!!! i’m way more comfortable in who I am and my Identity now at 19 could you imagine that like damn (just hoping it’s not temporary)!!! just putting this out there in hopes that someone else going through the same thing or similar will see and maybe help them a little. now i just gotta move out.
⚛️ she can’t see how what she says to people effects them drastically and takes 0 responsibility and acknowledgement of doing so and passes it off as “you don’t know me” “i’m a good person” “i have a good heart i love everybody” etc or blame everything on me for examples “we do everything for you” “you’re going to treat us like that when we sacrificed so much for you” etc um .. yeah they signed up for that when they decided to have a child so it’s fucked up to throw that in my face. THEN she loves to do this the most playing the victim card “you’re abusing me” “it feels like you are abusing me” “we feel like we can’t say anything right we are always walking on eggshells around you it’s exhausting” she knows damn well I’m not abusing her in any way shape or form that’s disrespectful to many people who actually had to go through and endure actual abuse. “do you want to hurt us? is that your goal” “you’re destroying the family” “you’re destroying our marriage” etc literally used to be all the timmmme when i was going through sh and stuff too. i didn’t do anything wronggggg all I did was speak up for myself FOR ONCE (bc it’s been YEARS) ab the shit she does and how i’m not okay with it i internalize literally everything (that’s y it took years. just sick of their shit idk what to do). low and behold after all that expressing I get met with all that blame shifting and lying. the reason why i never open up to her is bc when I do ever since i was little she always blamed me and made it seem like this whole other thing so hell yeah i’d rather internalize then talk to her that’s a way better option than getting met with guilt tripping and shit what else could I do but internalize n doing that fucked my head up BAD. there are MANY more examples of what else she would say and my dad too but i really think he’s brainwashed by her so idk that’s just off the top of my head .. lmao. she makes me feel so insaneee i even feel like i’m exaggerating and making a big deal n being too sensitive writing all this😵💫. there’s SO MUCH more context but fuck all that i typed enough. thx for coming to my ted talk🕷️.

2024.05.20 09:36 forever_in_anguish I (32m) think I've made my mind up
Tldr: 32m realize my 27f ex was terrible to me. Hoping she will have some semblance of integrity has been foolish.
In this relationship you were dishonest, a cheater, abusive, manipulative, spiteful, and used an unborn child as leverage to keep me in this toxic relationship. You failed to mention the two big stds you had as well. I tried to leave bedore and you restrained me threw shit at the wall. You go crazy and taze yourself and i stick through it all. You then get a restraining order on me because I told you I'd take you to court for not letting me be on the birth certificate. The judge knew what you were up to and threw it out. You didn't like the judges answer so you and that horrid person you call a friend tried to screw me over saying I violated it by contact. You had me arrested and now I'm fighting for my freedom and out 3000 dollars and could face 3 years in jail and my diversion be revoked. All for what? Keep lying to yourself but you know what you are and what you have done and in the end we all have to pay for our sins. You once told me your biggest fear was Jesus saying he doesn't know you. There is so much more you have done to me and frankly I'm just tired of this. 3 months and not a word about the pregnancy knowing how much it hurts me. Seriously I tried my best to right my wrongs but you haven't done shit but play victim. I want out. There's no coming back from this. I've been done bad by a lot of people but this is a new level of evil. I've seen more spine in jellyfish. A coward who ghosts knowing full well because of their own guilt. I've tried my best to understand wtf is going on but you can't make sense out of nonsense. Everything I've done was reactionary and never was abusive. Obsessive maybe. But i kept finding out all the lies and it became my focus which I hate myself for. Such a waste of time. I know you have moved on and could care less but I've given enough of myself for literally nothing. I thought so much of you. This wasn't who I fell in love with. The worst part of it all is that I'd rather lie and tell myself it was me and that I was the problem just so I don't despise you. I don't despise you though honey. I just feel sorry for how damaged you are. You know right from wrong. I want you to be happy but it will never be at the expense of my own self worth ever again. Please get help and if this child is mine I will be a part of their life.

2024.05.20 09:36 Doc_Zed_42 Humans are Space Rednecks Chapter 25: Red Tape Blues
Chapter 25:
On the other side of the galaxy....
In the dimly lit chamber of Zortan Blart, a figure emerges from the shadows. The agent, cloaked in secrecy, approaches the Moafia Don with a report that hums with the electric tension of covert operations.
"Boss," the agent begins, voice a modulated whisper, "the beaurocrats have been swayed. Doubts have been seeded, their integrity questioned. They're ensnared in our narrative, believing the Convoy harbors contraband and fugitives."
Zortan Blart, a silhouette against the star-strewn viewport, nods slowly. "And the fleet?" he inquires, his voice a low rumble.
"The fleet's nature has been... embellished. Tales of their firepower exaggerated, their purpose cloaked in mystery. The officials are hesitant, fearing a Trojan horse within their midst."
A sly smile curls the lips of Zortan Blart. "Excellent. Let the Federation choke on their bureaucracy. By the time they untangle this web, the Convoy will be mine."
The agent bows, a move as calculated as the game they play. "Your will be done, Boss."
Inspector Xilthar's arrival at the Federation station was supposed to be routine. Every form had been meticulously filled, every protocol followed to the letter. Yet, as the Inquisitor docked, a flurry of red flags greeted him, each more absurd than the last.
The station's justices, known for their impartiality, were suddenly citing trivial infractions and absurd claims. A missing comma here, an outdated code there—each filed with a severity that belied their insignificance. And the accusations of sentient trafficking were outright insulting! Xilthar's brow furrowed as he sifted through the paperwork. It was unlike the Federation to behave like this.
As he delved deeper, patterns emerged. Two justices, in particular, seemed to be at the center of the bureaucratic maelstrom. Their rulings were erratic, their justifications flimsy. It didn't take long for Xilthar to uncover the truth: these justices were puppets, their strings pulled by shadowy hands.
The realization hit Xilthar like a rogue asteroid. They had an antagonist, one that lurked within the very system meant to uphold justice.
With a steely resolve, Xilthar began to hack through the red tape. If the Convoy was to continue its journey unimpeded, he would need to confront this new threat head-on. The Great Human Convoy had faced pirates and perils of the void, but now they were up against a foe that wielded bureaucracy as a weapon.
The station was abuzz with the usual commerce and chatter, but an undercurrent of unease ran through the corridors. Xilthar's discovery of the meddling was troubling enough, but the missing military escort was a glaring omission that couldn't be ignored.
The Big Ugly Stick, the Convoy's capital ship, was a fortress among the stars, its presence a reassurance to all. The Pimp Hand, with its arsenal of missiles, was a deterrent to any who dared threaten the fleet. The Attitude Adjuster, a destroyer known for its formidable firepower, and the Mama Bear, a carrier, were integral to their defense. Yet, none had arrived.
Xilthar's instincts told him this was no coincidence. The military's delay, coupled with the farcical red flags, painted a picture of a coordinated effort to undermine the Convoy. Someone was pulling strings, creating distractions, perhaps to mask a more sinister objective.
As he navigated the station's labyrinthine bureaucracy, Xilthar kept one eye on the comms, awaiting news of the escort. The Convoy was vulnerable without its guardians, and every passing moment was a moment too long.
As the chronometer approaches standard evening, Xilthar sends a secure call to Jeb, "We have an antagonist within the Federation. Be cautious."
Jeb tips his hat back, "Have I got a story for you!"
In a dimly lit cabin aboard the Hodgepodge, Jeb, sits across from the storied pirate lord with the unfortunate name of Peg Leg Polaris. Chessmaster floats nearby holding a holographic scale with a feather on one side and a heart in the other.
Jeb: "Alright, let's cut to the chase. You used to be a big shot, now you're wantin' to join up with us. Why should we even consider it?"
Pirate Lord: "Look, I ain't gonna sugarcoat it. I was the best there was, and then I wasn't. Got locked up, paid my dues. I'm here 'cause I got nothin' left to prove but to myself. I can navigate, I can lead, and I sure as hell can fight."
Jeb: "Hmm. Chessie, what's the read on him?"
Chessmaster shows the scale the heart tilted slightly downward "His physiological responses indicate sincerity, Jeb, even if he was lying a little about being the best." She grins. "However, caution is advisable."
Jeb: "You got a rep for bein' a bit too full of yourself. How do we know you ain't gonna cause trouble?"
Pirate Lord: "Jeb, I got humbled, hard. Ain't lookin' to stir up no hornet's nest. Just wanna sail with a crew that's got a purpose beyond lootin' and shootin'. Im giving up the name of my boss cause I have no future with Blart after this anyway."
Jeb leans back, eyes narrowing: "Don Blart, huh? That's a heavy name to drop. You sure you're ready to burn that bridge?"
Pirate Lord: "It's already ash, Jeb. I'm done with that life. Done with lookin' over my shoulder. If it means a clean slate with you and the crew, then so be it."
Chessie's projection flickers with intrigue: "A bold move. The Convoy does not take kindly to mafia ties. This information will be... evaluated."
Jeb: "We'll verify what you're sayin'. If it checks out, you've got yourself a deal. But remember, we're a family here. No secrets, no backstabbin'. You step outta line, and it's the airlock for you."
Pirate Lord: "Understood. I ain't lookin' for family, but I reckon I could use one. I'm as good as dead alone."
Chessie: "I will monitor the situation closely, Jeb. Should he prove deceitful, I will alert you immediately."
Jeb: "Good. Welcome to the Convoy, Polaris. Let's see if you can navigate more than just the stars."
Back on the station, Xilthar, armed with the name of their opponent, begins his meticulous research. He sifts through historical records and databases, uncovering the intricate web of connections that tie the criminal underworld to the echelons of power within the federation. His investigation reveals a complex network of influence and corruption, where suspect justices may have been compromised, swaying their decisions and undermining the very pillars of justice they are sworn to uphold.
Jeb adjusts his hat, speaking to his crew and the pilots, "Alright, folks. We've set things in motion. Now comes the hard part—waiting. The gears of bureaucracy grind slow, but they grind. Our defenders will come, and when they do, we'll be ready."

Xilthar's instincts told him this was no coincidence. The military's delay, coupled with the farcical red flags, painted a picture of a coordinated effort to undermine the Convoy. Someone was pulling strings, creating distractions, perhaps to mask a more sinister objective.
As he navigated the station's labyrinthine bureaucracy, Xilthar kept one eye on the comms, awaiting news of the escort. The Convoy was vulnerable without its guardians, and every passing moment was a moment too long.
Jeb tips his hat back, "Have I got a story for you!"
Jeb: "Alright, let's cut to the chase. You used to be a big shot, now you're wantin' to join up with us. Why should we even consider it?"
Pirate Lord: "Look, I ain't gonna sugarcoat it. I was the best there was, and then I wasn't. Got locked up, paid my dues. I'm here 'cause I got nothin' left to prove but to myself. I can navigate, I can lead, and I sure as hell can fight."
Jeb: "Hmm. Chessie, what's the read on him?"
Chessmaster shows the scale the heart tilted slightly downward "His physiological responses indicate sincerity, Jeb, even if he was lying a little about being the best." She grins. "However, caution is advisable."
Jeb: "You got a rep for bein' a bit too full of yourself. How do we know you ain't gonna cause trouble?"
Pirate Lord: "Jeb, I got humbled, hard. Ain't lookin' to stir up no hornet's nest. Just wanna sail with a crew that's got a purpose beyond lootin' and shootin'. Im giving up the name of my boss cause I have no future with Blart after this anyway."
Jeb leans back, eyes narrowing: "Don Blart, huh? That's a heavy name to drop. You sure you're ready to burn that bridge?"
Pirate Lord: "It's already ash, Jeb. I'm done with that life. Done with lookin' over my shoulder. If it means a clean slate with you and the crew, then so be it."
Chessie's projection flickers with intrigue: "A bold move. The Convoy does not take kindly to mafia ties. This information will be... evaluated."
Jeb: "We'll verify what you're sayin'. If it checks out, you've got yourself a deal. But remember, we're a family here. No secrets, no backstabbin'. You step outta line, and it's the airlock for you."
Pirate Lord: "Understood. I ain't lookin' for family, but I reckon I could use one. I'm as good as dead alone."
Chessie: "I will monitor the situation closely, Jeb. Should he prove deceitful, I will alert you immediately."
Jeb: "Good. Welcome to the Convoy, Polaris. Let's see if you can navigate more than just the stars."
2024.05.20 09:33 Pockectmuffin My state of affairs
My son in 7th grade(ASD/ADHD) has had trouble with staying on task and paying attention to teachers and has gotten to the point of disrespecting teachers. He was actually spending a lot of his time watching youtube in class. Took some time to get them to block it on his school computer. I have it blocked for the most part at home. More to the point he blamed an addiction to porn for his attitude issue which I found out he'd been up to a lot of it on our Xbox. Meaning he's looking it up while I'm in the next room and switched it out when I'd walk through. He only got a couple to a few hours of play after doing math/reading practice depending on weekday/weekend. When he gotten his smart phone back last winter we had went over a "tech contract" so he lost all electronic privileges per breaking the contract. I've allowed some access to tech in limited ways since. I'm sharing the burden on him to find a solution going forward. He's suggested blocking sites like I have on his phone. My counter point to him: "so you're resolved of responsibility, accountability. If you're not blocked from something then he's just going to give into temptation." He has made promises and broke them and lied and try to be clever about things. He is a good person, wants to do good and big things but he has some quirks on how he's operating in the system. He has more of a focus on being an interesting person than interested in others which is counter to his goals. We're having trouble with instilling the values right but there is progress. Summer break is about to start and I was not able to get on top of summer camps in time. I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to keep him busy and find him the social activity he needs. I'm more or less shouting to the abyss. There's so many ins and outs to the relationship I get annoyed and frustrated. His mother is off doing drugs and homeless and needs surgery for a teratoma which she would have to be clean to get. She messaged me and called me about speaking to him on mother's day. He misses his mom and I told him until she gets it together I'm not facilitating it and I've said the same to her but she's not really hearing it. I have my mother to help out a lot but she's not as spry as she used to be. Her partner gets annoyed of my son from time to time to. On top of consistent car troubles. I have people and friends compliment me on being a good parent. It only does so much. I don't even like to hear it most times. Funny enough my son has said himself I'm a good dad, even though he did write my name on a kill list. He was admenatly ashamed of this BTW, it was only my name on it. There's just so much to say and so little I want to talk. I find myself just wanting to stare at a wall. I'm keeping up, I'm working on my mental/physical health and practicing not to shoot myself with two arrows. If you manage to get through the exposition feel free to respond however. Like I said I'm just shouting to the abyss right now I don't know that advice, support or validation is what I need or want but taking the time to absorb my experience, I'd appreciate the opportunity to appreciate your time. Thanks

2024.05.20 09:31 RocketDagoh Bird Nesting Chimney
 | Hello Reddit. I have no clue if I'm in the right spot for this, but there's probably some people around that may be able to help me or point me to a better place! Now, settle in and join me in the madness my mind has come up with. submitted by RocketDagoh to Ornithology [link] [comments] So I'm currently renovating my house and on it there's an old "chimney". When I'm talking about a chimney it's more like this sheet metal tower used for ventilation and glue gas exhaust. So, something like this. There once was a stone chimney, but that's been gone since the ±1980's. Anyway, due to the renovation the function of this "chimney" has become obsolete. Now I could just remove it, close up the roof and put some roof tiles there but I thought about other options to still have the asthetic of a chimney on the house, since it's been a part of it for 100+ years. Now this is where you all come in. I thought about making it a bird nesting box and I don't know anything about birds. I already did some drawing to rough out an idea for it, but there's probably a lot that can be improved by actually knowing about birds. I thought a bit about it since there's always the point about which bird even wants to nest on such a location. I live in the North of the Netherlands and the main contender seems to be the House Sparrow, Both a bird that's traditionally nesting in houses (seems I currently have one beneath a roof tile somewhere) and one that is struggling due to people making it harder to nest in houses. Other contenders seem to be the Coal Tit and Starling. I already did a bit of designing, though accurate measurements still need to be taken of the old one to fully work it out. However I have no idea how much space the birds might even need. To give a rough idea of what I'm thinking off, see the attached pictures. Questions that I already have, without any other issues that I don't know of:

2024.05.20 09:26 Lamedviv Domming Former Alpha Slave Mary, Part 8, Dubious Consent, Slavery, Bondage, Humiliation. Mary's New Role As Repeating Extra. Nora, Layla And Sarah Gentle Femdom Constance. Nora's Daring Invitation to Sheila And Lara To Join, As Subs. Sheila And Lara Review Her Role And Discuss Saving Sandy.
Mary's perspective
So I'm tied to a fucking tree, though at least I'm in the shade. Hooded, panel gagged, wrapped in a white sleep sack, secured with rope. My ass, tits, and pussy exposed. Almost directly beneath my hanging boobs, two of Queen Of Mean's most junior Dommes play Spades on a fold out card table, ignoring me for the moment. Not that I'm complaining.
The filming for the episode where Saarya Rahul's clone is discovered by the Perseverance Co. has started. Yeah, I learned that bitch Lara Gupta is coming back, before I knew why.
I was actually mummified and trapped in the bondage frame on the Amazonian Ship's bridge. We're not filming a scene, QOM's crew just found it a convenient place to strap me into when they're busy and want to make sure their lowest slave stays out from underfoot. Just like in the ready room, I'm supposed to have a domme watch me all the time for my safety.
Of course, Daci is in charge of drawing up the rotation, and she assigns the youngest and most immature of Queen Of Mean's crew to watch me. No big surprise, sometimes they go to screw off with their friends, leaving me trapped alone on the set. A silent mummy with her lady parts hanging out, and her wide, desperate eyes tracking back and forth.
That's what happened the day I was reacquainted with Lara. I had been enjoying the peace and quiet of the set, I actually enjoyed not being tormented by one of QOM's sadistic Junior Dommes. Then I heard steps and laughing voices, coming from the sets back passageway. I braced myself from some sadistic cruelty from my Mistress Daci and her evil minions.
Instead I heard Mistress Daci say "You want to know where Girl Mary is, Miss Nora and I want to surprise you. Surprise, Miss Lara, here she is!" I heard an audible gasp that had to be Lara Gupta. "That's Mar-".
I hear Mistress Nora's girlish chuckle. "You said you read the release material, Lara, this is Girl Mary being her new super submissive self!" Both her and Mistress Daci giggle.
The three women walk around to regard my mummified ass from the front. To the right Mistress Daci, in her black Amazonian pilot flight suit, with red insignia and badges. She grins at me with her usual sadistic delight.
In the center Lara Rajaneesh Gupta in the flesh. I'm surprised she's not wearing the tight bootie shorts and unicorn T-shirt. She is wearing a loose fitting black T-Shirt saying "Want To Impress This Desi Girl? Whip Me Up Some Curry!" And what looks like faded store bought Levis. Most striking is her eyes. Last time her eyes were shifty and sneaky. Now they're warm and open, she actually looks saddened by my plight, and embarrassed for me.
I don't have much time to process that when I hear Mistress Nora speak. My eyes automatically track to my slender former student and current Domme. She's wearing her especially low cut Stellar Compact Navy blue jumpsuit with Commanders rank tabs.
"Girl Mary, why are you contaminating these two fine free ladies with your scummy slave gaze? Eyes down now!" Realizing my mistake, too late, my eyes dropped to the deck. I hear Daci giggle at my plight.
"Mistress Daci, why isn't there a domme to watch this slave and stop behavior like this? This is lax for such a professional crew as yours." Daci seems more serious when she says. "Miss Nora, I apologize, I fix it now." A moment later I hear her chewing ass, presumably on her phone, of the domme she assigned to watch me. I take no pleasure then that, I know the little bitch is going to take out Daci's butt chewing on my sorry slave hide.
"Miss Nora, Miss Lara, I apologize, the domme assigned to watch this subbie is on her way back here. She will be appropriately disciplined for not watching this slave." Miss Nora says "Thank you, Daci." Lara remains silent.
I hear footsteps running down the passage in a rush. Daci orders the junior domme to halt in the entrance, and unleashes another blistering tirade on her. Then she tells her to remain in place until her betters leave.
Nora says "Daci, Lara, lets forget this unpleasantness, I ordered us some curry from Miss Connor's favorite Thai Bistro! She's going to have lunch with Slave Sarah and Slave Constance at her living unit. Layla is going out to eat with a visiting uncle. We have the Ready Room to ourselves, we can eat and chat there."
Lara and Daci agree that sounds good and I hear the three ladies receding steps. Then I hear my designated Domme "Miss High and Mighty barks orders and eats with the cute little bunnies, while I have to watch your stupid ass! But that's okay...I can still get my own back!"
I feel the first stinging line of fire on my behind from her whip. Punishing my slave ass unfairly for her screw up...
A day later, I'm sandwiched between Nora on my right and Layla on my left. I'm naked, hooded, and panel gagged with my arms bindered behind my back. My nipple clamps chained to the desk, my clit leash anchored to the deck.
We're in the classroom where Constance and I were first indoc'd into QOM's crew's way of doing things. Guess I'm not even good enough to be in the ready room anymore. At least for script readings, Daci, for whom English is obviously not her first language, is absent. Layla and Nora can get really rough, but even together they're not as mean as that fucking Romanian bitch.
Today I focus, and obey their directions, keeping my gloomy slave feelings inside. My former protege and the Hispanic girl are surprisingly calm as they guide me through my part of the script.
A robotic AI Voice gives a briefing:
AI briefer: At 0800 we spotted a hostage at the forward observer point guiding artillery pinning down the 6th Stellar Compact Marines Battalion. Obviously female, her identity remains unknown, although she might be one of the MIA Orbit Guard members from when this planet was initially assaulted by a combined Amazonian N'Docc" force.
This tactic was first noted when we were mopping up the surviving ground forces after the retaking of the Botany Bay colony. A captive is secured at a critical strategic point, to buy them time to do the most damage to Stellar Compact forces and slip away. They know we will eventually sacrifice the hostage, if we feel that's necessary. But they know our doctrine, that we have to do a cost benefit analysis and try to save the hostage if we can. They count on this to do the maximum damage as they retreat, if they can't turn the battle to their favor.
Unfortunately, a cost benefit analysis determined this unknown hostage could not be saved without unacceptable losses to the 6th Marines, and possibly jeopardizing the ground campaign on this world. At 0956, the determination was made to terminate the forward observer post with extreme prejudice.
A Plasma Mortar Smart Round was keyed to the coordinates and launched. ( A Holo Data link picture appears, showing the mortar in relation to the forward observer spot. A graphic represents the round launched, and a line with mathematical calculations represents its trajectory).
(The picture shifts back to the restrained slavegirl. You see shifty scrambling in the background) It appears all hostiles manning the outpost detected the launch and escaped without discernible casualties. (The hostage isn't so lucky, her desperate eyes track the flaming football descending on her position. She mmmphs and wiggles, her big breasts swaying. A moment later, in an Orange red flash she is incinerated, a death devoid of dignity bestowed on so many courageous Stellar Compact female soldiers before her).
(The view shifts with no further commentary, which would be superfluous. We see Commander Gail to the left of a large viewscreen, Rear Admiral Mendez to the right. Gail puts her head in her hands and takes a moment to gather herself.)
Mendez: Commander-Nora, I'm sorry. I know that must be hard, especially after what happened to Captain Rommie. But I need you to understand what's going on down there. There are still fierce pockets of resistance. Stellar Compact Intelligence has confirmed that the Amazonians want to take you alive and make you a Whipping Girl, whomever does it will attain greater honor than even Commander Sappho capturing poor Rommie. Is a morale tour really worth it?
Gail (Raises her head, visibly pulls together) I know the risks, but understand why you showed that to me. I don't want to die at all, especially not like that. But war entails risks. I knew that when I pounded my fist on that table, and yelled at a conclave Admirals, that I risked Dismissal or even Court Martial. I know it now, and think it's important enough to do.
Mendez: It's not just you. The media has dubbed you the "Heroine Of Botany Bay" and "The Savioress Of The Stellar Compact" you being killed, or slowly tortured as a Whipping Girl, could devastate our morale at a critical juncture, even turn the tide of the war against us again!
(Mendez takes a deep breath, pauses)
Don't get me wrong, I care about your well being Commander. I lost one of the finest female command Officers I knew on my watch. If I lost another-I don't know if I could forgive-(The normally poised Admiral casts her head down and seems to be wiping away tears).
(Nora reaches out to gently touch the Admiral's right shoulder with her left hand. Unsolicited contact with a Flag officer in peacetime can be a serious offence, depending on circumstances. In wartime, it can be a Capitol one. The Admiral's Marine Guard starts to move in on the impertinent commander. The Admiral pulls herself together and waves them off).
Mendez (Grabs Gail's hand with her right, clasps it in both hands) Nora, the first time I saw you, you seemed ready to jump behind the Cybo-Chief Warrant Officer ASSHO to escape from my gaze. Now you're a battle tested hero. You've come a long way baby."
Nora: Ma'am, I never wanted to be a hero. I don't FEEL like one. All I ever wanted to do was be an explorer. Also show a society on the verge of revoking women's rights, that we ARE as capable as men. But now that I am one, it's not about me, it's about us, the Stellar Compact as a whole. What kind of hero avoids risks when it comes to encouraging those who look to them as a role model?
Mendez (releases Gail's hand, looks stern again) Young woman, I could order you not to go ground side. (She gets a small, fond smile) an order you might choose not to obey. So I don't have to convene Court Martial proceedings, I give you permission. You be careful down there, Commander, or I will personally spank you like I used to do to my daughters!"
Gail (small smile) Ma'am, I have Chief Warrant Officer ASSHO protecting me-and Gabby-Staff Sergeant Perez and her Marines. I'd bet on them over a Regiment of N'Docc" any day!
Mendez (Stern and serious) Young lady, you may have to. Keep your head on a swivel. Dismissed.
(Nora salutes, the Admiral returns it, the meeting is over. Nora leaves the briefing room, her own Marine Guard falling in after her as she leaves).
I try to cover my chagrin, once again, "Boss Bitch" Miss Connor, makes me look pathetic and my Mistress looks awesome with her writing. I wish I'd never asked Dave to let me start this project! I'm still strapped to this tree, sweltering, with my lady parts exposed for all to see.
Lara's perspective
So "Boss Bitch" asked to meet me at 08:30 at the Ready room for a script meeting about my character. With my security badge, I could walk around unescorted, and I had the cypher lock combo to the ready room. Still when I came to the door ten minutes early, the red privacy light was on, I thought it polite to wait for Sheila.
The pretty half breed girl rolls up almost right on time, trademark fedora on head, coffee cup in hand. She sees the red light and frowns. She politely asks me to hold her cup and pounds the intercom button.
"Alright, bitches, I don't care if you're having a les orgy in there! You have 30 seconds to get dressed and wipe off the table, then I'm coming in!" She takes the coffee cup back and times it on her phone. When time's up, she punched in the combo and stormed in, with me close behind.
Her assertion of them having an orgy isn't far off. Constance is naked, kneeling and facing a chair, her arms secured with padded zip ties to each arm of the chair, panel gagged. Sarah is also naked, behind Constance, standing and with arms bindered behind her, though not muzzled. She is proudly standing facing us, smiling, her fine Asian assets on display.
I take a quick glance at Nora, in her blue jumpsuit, sitting across the table with a coffee cup in hand. Her proud smile shows how far her exotic subbie has come. Sarah knew without being told she had to proudly "present" to Sheila and I, because she was nude. I look back at the two naked girls.
Layla is on the other side of the chair from Constance in her Stellar Compact Marine Uniform, smiling like a Cheshire cat.
Our fearless leader fixes the two Dommes and the Alpha Slave with a "Start talking, ladies" gaze. Nora asks "Sarah, would you like to explain to Miss Connor what we're doing?" Sarah eagerly replies "Yes, Mistress Nora!"
The Asian girl turns to face Sheila earnestly. "We're helping Constance get in touch with her submissive and sapphic desires. I was rubbing my nipples on her back and whispering in her ear, while Mistress Layla reassured her and calmed her. This was an idea the four of us came up with together, and Constance has a safe signal, three mmmphs, if it gets too intense for her."
Sheila's attention turns from the happy, nude former Navy girl to the other sub. "Constance are you ok, and alright with all this?" Constance mmmphs "Yes, Miss Connor." She doesn't sound under duress, this is the most relaxed I've seen her.
Sheila nods. "Girls, make sure you clean up any messes you make, and no going down on each other on the table, remember we eat there. Carry on." Three clear, and one mmmphed "Yes, Miss Connor."
Sheila nods. "Lara and I will be in my office, don't hesitate to knock if you need me." Boss Bitch turns to her office and I move to follow.
"Miss Connor, Lara wait ." Nora is looking at us with a bold, devilish glint in her eye. Where is that mousy little waif I met the first time? "We're ahead of the shooting schedule, we have time, why don't you and Lara join us? Four Dommes, two subs, why not have a little fun, girls?"
Then the gleam in her eyes got even more wicked. "If one or both of you want to sub for awhile, relinquish some of your responsibility? Two hot dommes, four exotic subs, it would challenge Layla's and I's Mistress skills, and we'd all enjoy a big shower of girl come." Nora and Layla exchange looks like they're ready, even eager for that challenge.
Sheila looks intrigued, hell I'm a little intrigued and horny myself, despite what happened last time. But Sheila firmly asserts "Tempting, my little horndogs, but we're ahead because I put business first, my horny little bitches. Lara and I have a lot to do if we want to stay on schedule, so we'll have to pass. Have fun girls." Layla, Nora and Sarah look disappointed, but nod, they know who's in charge.
When Mary, Nora and Sarah "topped" me last time, Shelia helped them Domme me, of course, but never took off her clothing. Does she ever cut loose, get naked with her girls when they get really wild? If Sheila and I had a private session, who would top, and who would bottom? My pussy getting wet, I send those thoughts to horny jail. Sheila's right, we have priorities, not just the show but saving Sandy.
I wait for Sheila to sit, then politely take my seat. With her usual lack of preamble, Boss Bitch shoves a shooting script for my first new episode across her desk at me. I pick it up and page through it.
Basically, Commander Gail does a morale tour of the violently liberated colony world Persephone. The Stellar Compact has the upper hand, the Alliance fleet being driven out of the system. Fierce pockets of N'Docc" and Amazonian Warriors fight on ground side, they'd rather fight to the last cat and woman than surrender.
The Mobile Medical units are overwhelmed with military casualties, so liberated civilian casualties languish. The Red Cross, the Red Crescent and other medical NGO's are allowed on world to pick up the slack. The problem is some of them feel obligated to treat N'Docc" and Amazonian wounded. This causes sometimes enraged reactions among a recently liberated civilian population. Violent acts against aid workers who treat the enemy are common. Military authority usually looks the other way if a victim is the "enemy" or someone known to treat them. Most incidents are blamed on "Insurgents" even when they're obviously not the culprit.
During a tour of a hovel city, Gail, Assho, and their Marine Guard hear screaming. They head down a shadowy alley, and see several men trying to rape a dark skinned woman clad only in a tattered man's work shirt, the rest of her torn clothes strewn around the alleyway.
Gail yells at them to stop, and the woman takes the opportunity to flee her rapists and run to Gail, ASSHO, and their Marine Guard; cowering behind ASSHO. A moment of shock from Gail, when she sees the woman is a dead ringer for her mentor LCDR Saarya Rahul, but she composes herself.
Gail: What are you men doing to this poor woman? Hasn't the enemy done enough, bastards like you need to finish their work?
Scumbag 1: Begging pardon, miss, but this little tart is giving aid and comfort to the enemy, we's just seeing if she got some fur her own, miss.
Gail(looking disgusted) Really? You're a sick freak.
(She's about to say more when a local militia patrol shows up. They ignore the Scumbag and his two minions focusing on the girl hiding behind ASSHO).
Patrol Leader: Causing a ruckus again, you little tease? We let you off easy even though you were the Domina's body servant. You still can't keep from making difficulties.I'm taking you to lock up!
(Gail clears her throat pointedly)
Patrol Leader (Really looking at her, taken aback) Oh, sorry Commander, that this little twitch got you caught up in her troubles. If you'll just hand her over...
Gail: (looking for insignia, seeing faded Sergeant stripes) Sergeant, you will arrest these three men and take them to your lock up immediately, charge them with attempted rape!"
Patrol leader (looking shocked) Ma'am you can't be serious....
Gail: Take them into custody now, or we will. And I'll report you to the planetary Provost Marshall!
Patrol Leader (Looking angry) Aye, Ma'am! (To the scumbags) C'mon boys. (The patrol surrounds the three men but doesn't cuff them. The patrol laughs and jokes with the scum as they saunter away).
(Gail looks disgusted, but then turns to help ASSHO tend to the sobbing girl who is a double of her mentor).
I look up. "Your usual top notch work, Sheila, Ari will believe we're not just phoning it in. Trust me."
Sheila looks at me soberly "I do. Now let's start talking about freeing my sister....
I nod. "So my initial plan is to simply purchase her...

So I'm tied to a fucking tree, though at least I'm in the shade. Hooded, panel gagged, wrapped in a white sleep sack, secured with rope. My ass, tits, and pussy exposed. Almost directly beneath my hanging boobs, two of Queen Of Mean's most junior Dommes play Spades on a fold out card table, ignoring me for the moment. Not that I'm complaining.
The filming for the episode where Saarya Rahul's clone is discovered by the Perseverance Co. has started. Yeah, I learned that bitch Lara Gupta is coming back, before I knew why.
I was actually mummified and trapped in the bondage frame on the Amazonian Ship's bridge. We're not filming a scene, QOM's crew just found it a convenient place to strap me into when they're busy and want to make sure their lowest slave stays out from underfoot. Just like in the ready room, I'm supposed to have a domme watch me all the time for my safety.
Of course, Daci is in charge of drawing up the rotation, and she assigns the youngest and most immature of Queen Of Mean's crew to watch me. No big surprise, sometimes they go to screw off with their friends, leaving me trapped alone on the set. A silent mummy with her lady parts hanging out, and her wide, desperate eyes tracking back and forth.
That's what happened the day I was reacquainted with Lara. I had been enjoying the peace and quiet of the set, I actually enjoyed not being tormented by one of QOM's sadistic Junior Dommes. Then I heard steps and laughing voices, coming from the sets back passageway. I braced myself from some sadistic cruelty from my Mistress Daci and her evil minions.
Instead I heard Mistress Daci say "You want to know where Girl Mary is, Miss Nora and I want to surprise you. Surprise, Miss Lara, here she is!" I heard an audible gasp that had to be Lara Gupta. "That's Mar-".
I hear Mistress Nora's girlish chuckle. "You said you read the release material, Lara, this is Girl Mary being her new super submissive self!" Both her and Mistress Daci giggle.
The three women walk around to regard my mummified ass from the front. To the right Mistress Daci, in her black Amazonian pilot flight suit, with red insignia and badges. She grins at me with her usual sadistic delight.
In the center Lara Rajaneesh Gupta in the flesh. I'm surprised she's not wearing the tight bootie shorts and unicorn T-shirt. She is wearing a loose fitting black T-Shirt saying "Want To Impress This Desi Girl? Whip Me Up Some Curry!" And what looks like faded store bought Levis. Most striking is her eyes. Last time her eyes were shifty and sneaky. Now they're warm and open, she actually looks saddened by my plight, and embarrassed for me.
I don't have much time to process that when I hear Mistress Nora speak. My eyes automatically track to my slender former student and current Domme. She's wearing her especially low cut Stellar Compact Navy blue jumpsuit with Commanders rank tabs.
"Girl Mary, why are you contaminating these two fine free ladies with your scummy slave gaze? Eyes down now!" Realizing my mistake, too late, my eyes dropped to the deck. I hear Daci giggle at my plight.
"Mistress Daci, why isn't there a domme to watch this slave and stop behavior like this? This is lax for such a professional crew as yours." Daci seems more serious when she says. "Miss Nora, I apologize, I fix it now." A moment later I hear her chewing ass, presumably on her phone, of the domme she assigned to watch me. I take no pleasure then that, I know the little bitch is going to take out Daci's butt chewing on my sorry slave hide.
"Miss Nora, Miss Lara, I apologize, the domme assigned to watch this subbie is on her way back here. She will be appropriately disciplined for not watching this slave." Miss Nora says "Thank you, Daci." Lara remains silent.
I hear footsteps running down the passage in a rush. Daci orders the junior domme to halt in the entrance, and unleashes another blistering tirade on her. Then she tells her to remain in place until her betters leave.
Nora says "Daci, Lara, lets forget this unpleasantness, I ordered us some curry from Miss Connor's favorite Thai Bistro! She's going to have lunch with Slave Sarah and Slave Constance at her living unit. Layla is going out to eat with a visiting uncle. We have the Ready Room to ourselves, we can eat and chat there."
Lara and Daci agree that sounds good and I hear the three ladies receding steps. Then I hear my designated Domme "Miss High and Mighty barks orders and eats with the cute little bunnies, while I have to watch your stupid ass! But that's okay...I can still get my own back!"
I feel the first stinging line of fire on my behind from her whip. Punishing my slave ass unfairly for her screw up...
A day later, I'm sandwiched between Nora on my right and Layla on my left. I'm naked, hooded, and panel gagged with my arms bindered behind my back. My nipple clamps chained to the desk, my clit leash anchored to the deck.
We're in the classroom where Constance and I were first indoc'd into QOM's crew's way of doing things. Guess I'm not even good enough to be in the ready room anymore. At least for script readings, Daci, for whom English is obviously not her first language, is absent. Layla and Nora can get really rough, but even together they're not as mean as that fucking Romanian bitch.
Today I focus, and obey their directions, keeping my gloomy slave feelings inside. My former protege and the Hispanic girl are surprisingly calm as they guide me through my part of the script.
Opening SceneA mummified, helpless girl secured to a tree. Only her eyes, tits and pussy visible in her slave wrappings. The camera pulls back with her still centered. She's surrounded by a hellscape of burnt out vehicles, scorched earth, and blackened trees.
A robotic AI Voice gives a briefing:
AI briefer: At 0800 we spotted a hostage at the forward observer point guiding artillery pinning down the 6th Stellar Compact Marines Battalion. Obviously female, her identity remains unknown, although she might be one of the MIA Orbit Guard members from when this planet was initially assaulted by a combined Amazonian N'Docc" force.
This tactic was first noted when we were mopping up the surviving ground forces after the retaking of the Botany Bay colony. A captive is secured at a critical strategic point, to buy them time to do the most damage to Stellar Compact forces and slip away. They know we will eventually sacrifice the hostage, if we feel that's necessary. But they know our doctrine, that we have to do a cost benefit analysis and try to save the hostage if we can. They count on this to do the maximum damage as they retreat, if they can't turn the battle to their favor.
Unfortunately, a cost benefit analysis determined this unknown hostage could not be saved without unacceptable losses to the 6th Marines, and possibly jeopardizing the ground campaign on this world. At 0956, the determination was made to terminate the forward observer post with extreme prejudice.
A Plasma Mortar Smart Round was keyed to the coordinates and launched. ( A Holo Data link picture appears, showing the mortar in relation to the forward observer spot. A graphic represents the round launched, and a line with mathematical calculations represents its trajectory).
(The picture shifts back to the restrained slavegirl. You see shifty scrambling in the background) It appears all hostiles manning the outpost detected the launch and escaped without discernible casualties. (The hostage isn't so lucky, her desperate eyes track the flaming football descending on her position. She mmmphs and wiggles, her big breasts swaying. A moment later, in an Orange red flash she is incinerated, a death devoid of dignity bestowed on so many courageous Stellar Compact female soldiers before her).
(The view shifts with no further commentary, which would be superfluous. We see Commander Gail to the left of a large viewscreen, Rear Admiral Mendez to the right. Gail puts her head in her hands and takes a moment to gather herself.)
Mendez: Commander-Nora, I'm sorry. I know that must be hard, especially after what happened to Captain Rommie. But I need you to understand what's going on down there. There are still fierce pockets of resistance. Stellar Compact Intelligence has confirmed that the Amazonians want to take you alive and make you a Whipping Girl, whomever does it will attain greater honor than even Commander Sappho capturing poor Rommie. Is a morale tour really worth it?
Gail (Raises her head, visibly pulls together) I know the risks, but understand why you showed that to me. I don't want to die at all, especially not like that. But war entails risks. I knew that when I pounded my fist on that table, and yelled at a conclave Admirals, that I risked Dismissal or even Court Martial. I know it now, and think it's important enough to do.
Mendez: It's not just you. The media has dubbed you the "Heroine Of Botany Bay" and "The Savioress Of The Stellar Compact" you being killed, or slowly tortured as a Whipping Girl, could devastate our morale at a critical juncture, even turn the tide of the war against us again!
(Mendez takes a deep breath, pauses)
Don't get me wrong, I care about your well being Commander. I lost one of the finest female command Officers I knew on my watch. If I lost another-I don't know if I could forgive-(The normally poised Admiral casts her head down and seems to be wiping away tears).
(Nora reaches out to gently touch the Admiral's right shoulder with her left hand. Unsolicited contact with a Flag officer in peacetime can be a serious offence, depending on circumstances. In wartime, it can be a Capitol one. The Admiral's Marine Guard starts to move in on the impertinent commander. The Admiral pulls herself together and waves them off).
Mendez (Grabs Gail's hand with her right, clasps it in both hands) Nora, the first time I saw you, you seemed ready to jump behind the Cybo-Chief Warrant Officer ASSHO to escape from my gaze. Now you're a battle tested hero. You've come a long way baby."
Nora: Ma'am, I never wanted to be a hero. I don't FEEL like one. All I ever wanted to do was be an explorer. Also show a society on the verge of revoking women's rights, that we ARE as capable as men. But now that I am one, it's not about me, it's about us, the Stellar Compact as a whole. What kind of hero avoids risks when it comes to encouraging those who look to them as a role model?
Mendez (releases Gail's hand, looks stern again) Young woman, I could order you not to go ground side. (She gets a small, fond smile) an order you might choose not to obey. So I don't have to convene Court Martial proceedings, I give you permission. You be careful down there, Commander, or I will personally spank you like I used to do to my daughters!"
Gail (small smile) Ma'am, I have Chief Warrant Officer ASSHO protecting me-and Gabby-Staff Sergeant Perez and her Marines. I'd bet on them over a Regiment of N'Docc" any day!
Mendez (Stern and serious) Young lady, you may have to. Keep your head on a swivel. Dismissed.
(Nora salutes, the Admiral returns it, the meeting is over. Nora leaves the briefing room, her own Marine Guard falling in after her as she leaves).
I try to cover my chagrin, once again, "Boss Bitch" Miss Connor, makes me look pathetic and my Mistress looks awesome with her writing. I wish I'd never asked Dave to let me start this project! I'm still strapped to this tree, sweltering, with my lady parts exposed for all to see.
Lara's perspective
So "Boss Bitch" asked to meet me at 08:30 at the Ready room for a script meeting about my character. With my security badge, I could walk around unescorted, and I had the cypher lock combo to the ready room. Still when I came to the door ten minutes early, the red privacy light was on, I thought it polite to wait for Sheila.
The pretty half breed girl rolls up almost right on time, trademark fedora on head, coffee cup in hand. She sees the red light and frowns. She politely asks me to hold her cup and pounds the intercom button.
"Alright, bitches, I don't care if you're having a les orgy in there! You have 30 seconds to get dressed and wipe off the table, then I'm coming in!" She takes the coffee cup back and times it on her phone. When time's up, she punched in the combo and stormed in, with me close behind.
Her assertion of them having an orgy isn't far off. Constance is naked, kneeling and facing a chair, her arms secured with padded zip ties to each arm of the chair, panel gagged. Sarah is also naked, behind Constance, standing and with arms bindered behind her, though not muzzled. She is proudly standing facing us, smiling, her fine Asian assets on display.
I take a quick glance at Nora, in her blue jumpsuit, sitting across the table with a coffee cup in hand. Her proud smile shows how far her exotic subbie has come. Sarah knew without being told she had to proudly "present" to Sheila and I, because she was nude. I look back at the two naked girls.
Layla is on the other side of the chair from Constance in her Stellar Compact Marine Uniform, smiling like a Cheshire cat.
Our fearless leader fixes the two Dommes and the Alpha Slave with a "Start talking, ladies" gaze. Nora asks "Sarah, would you like to explain to Miss Connor what we're doing?" Sarah eagerly replies "Yes, Mistress Nora!"
The Asian girl turns to face Sheila earnestly. "We're helping Constance get in touch with her submissive and sapphic desires. I was rubbing my nipples on her back and whispering in her ear, while Mistress Layla reassured her and calmed her. This was an idea the four of us came up with together, and Constance has a safe signal, three mmmphs, if it gets too intense for her."
Sheila's attention turns from the happy, nude former Navy girl to the other sub. "Constance are you ok, and alright with all this?" Constance mmmphs "Yes, Miss Connor." She doesn't sound under duress, this is the most relaxed I've seen her.
Sheila nods. "Girls, make sure you clean up any messes you make, and no going down on each other on the table, remember we eat there. Carry on." Three clear, and one mmmphed "Yes, Miss Connor."
Sheila nods. "Lara and I will be in my office, don't hesitate to knock if you need me." Boss Bitch turns to her office and I move to follow.
"Miss Connor, Lara wait ." Nora is looking at us with a bold, devilish glint in her eye. Where is that mousy little waif I met the first time? "We're ahead of the shooting schedule, we have time, why don't you and Lara join us? Four Dommes, two subs, why not have a little fun, girls?"
Then the gleam in her eyes got even more wicked. "If one or both of you want to sub for awhile, relinquish some of your responsibility? Two hot dommes, four exotic subs, it would challenge Layla's and I's Mistress skills, and we'd all enjoy a big shower of girl come." Nora and Layla exchange looks like they're ready, even eager for that challenge.
Sheila looks intrigued, hell I'm a little intrigued and horny myself, despite what happened last time. But Sheila firmly asserts "Tempting, my little horndogs, but we're ahead because I put business first, my horny little bitches. Lara and I have a lot to do if we want to stay on schedule, so we'll have to pass. Have fun girls." Layla, Nora and Sarah look disappointed, but nod, they know who's in charge.
When Mary, Nora and Sarah "topped" me last time, Shelia helped them Domme me, of course, but never took off her clothing. Does she ever cut loose, get naked with her girls when they get really wild? If Sheila and I had a private session, who would top, and who would bottom? My pussy getting wet, I send those thoughts to horny jail. Sheila's right, we have priorities, not just the show but saving Sandy.
I wait for Sheila to sit, then politely take my seat. With her usual lack of preamble, Boss Bitch shoves a shooting script for my first new episode across her desk at me. I pick it up and page through it.
Basically, Commander Gail does a morale tour of the violently liberated colony world Persephone. The Stellar Compact has the upper hand, the Alliance fleet being driven out of the system. Fierce pockets of N'Docc" and Amazonian Warriors fight on ground side, they'd rather fight to the last cat and woman than surrender.
The Mobile Medical units are overwhelmed with military casualties, so liberated civilian casualties languish. The Red Cross, the Red Crescent and other medical NGO's are allowed on world to pick up the slack. The problem is some of them feel obligated to treat N'Docc" and Amazonian wounded. This causes sometimes enraged reactions among a recently liberated civilian population. Violent acts against aid workers who treat the enemy are common. Military authority usually looks the other way if a victim is the "enemy" or someone known to treat them. Most incidents are blamed on "Insurgents" even when they're obviously not the culprit.
During a tour of a hovel city, Gail, Assho, and their Marine Guard hear screaming. They head down a shadowy alley, and see several men trying to rape a dark skinned woman clad only in a tattered man's work shirt, the rest of her torn clothes strewn around the alleyway.
Gail yells at them to stop, and the woman takes the opportunity to flee her rapists and run to Gail, ASSHO, and their Marine Guard; cowering behind ASSHO. A moment of shock from Gail, when she sees the woman is a dead ringer for her mentor LCDR Saarya Rahul, but she composes herself.
Gail: What are you men doing to this poor woman? Hasn't the enemy done enough, bastards like you need to finish their work?
Scumbag 1: Begging pardon, miss, but this little tart is giving aid and comfort to the enemy, we's just seeing if she got some fur her own, miss.
Gail(looking disgusted) Really? You're a sick freak.
(She's about to say more when a local militia patrol shows up. They ignore the Scumbag and his two minions focusing on the girl hiding behind ASSHO).
Patrol Leader: Causing a ruckus again, you little tease? We let you off easy even though you were the Domina's body servant. You still can't keep from making difficulties.I'm taking you to lock up!
(Gail clears her throat pointedly)
Patrol Leader (Really looking at her, taken aback) Oh, sorry Commander, that this little twitch got you caught up in her troubles. If you'll just hand her over...
Gail: (looking for insignia, seeing faded Sergeant stripes) Sergeant, you will arrest these three men and take them to your lock up immediately, charge them with attempted rape!"

Gail: Take them into custody now, or we will. And I'll report you to the planetary Provost Marshall!
Patrol Leader (Looking angry) Aye, Ma'am! (To the scumbags) C'mon boys. (The patrol surrounds the three men but doesn't cuff them. The patrol laughs and jokes with the scum as they saunter away).
(Gail looks disgusted, but then turns to help ASSHO tend to the sobbing girl who is a double of her mentor).
I look up. "Your usual top notch work, Sheila, Ari will believe we're not just phoning it in. Trust me."
Sheila looks at me soberly "I do. Now let's start talking about freeing my sister....
I nod. "So my initial plan is to simply purchase her...

2024.05.20 09:24 KellyBrave1 Rob and Sophie
So I am going to go out on a limb and say that I don't think this couple is going to work out. And it's not just because of one person. We've watched this play out this season and I am no Rob fan. I have personal reasons for not being able to be completely objective to Rob. I am married to a sex addict, and a diagnosed narcissist. Having said that, I'm tired of people who don't know what that looks like commenting on poor Sophie. She entered the marriage fraudulently herself, and waited till mere days before their wedding to tell him she was bisexual. If that were a man who did it to a woman, the claws would be out. I find Sophie to be vain, and childish. But the biggest thing I have against her is that she's a liar. I hate liars. They both honestly, deserve each other because they both lie. I don't see Sophie going out of her way to do nice things for Rob or say nice things to Rob and I just think this is all very sexist to be honest. I think that Rob has a sex addiction probably, but I can't say for sure because I'm not a licensed therapist. I also can't say he's a narcissist. I can say he looks and sounds like one, but that's all anyone can say. From the minute they walked into that store the first thing I thought was well shoot she looks like she's already got a little school girl outfit on. I mean she dresses pretty revealingly. I thought he did pretty well in being willing to be the first to dress up at the store and it's unfortunate he chose the words he did when she came out of the dressing room but she flew out of the dressing room and flew off the handle. But I get it because hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. There's no deeper hurt your partner can deliver then to share their sexual being with another person whether it's emotionally, online or in person. It all hurts. That's what makes it even more ironic in that Sophie, has the flipping audacity to constantly be playing the victim. One of the opening scenes on one of the episodes this year was her in bed with that girl Kay. They're overly flirtatious banter is highly suspect. Again I feel there's a double standard. If an opening scene showed Rob in bed with another man tongues would be wagging. That makes me very sad for Sophie as an adult woman because she needs to either stay and fight for the marriage which is going to cost thousands of dollars in marriage therapy or she needs to leave. You cannot rebuild trust easily. It takes years. Unfortunately, the fix was in on this marriage once she found out about the online cheating and there was no point in her even coming to the US unless, of course she wanted to be here anyway. I feel as if the roles were reversed and it was a man saying the things that Sophie's saying, and a woman doing the things that Rob is doing, that the woman would get a far easier pass than Rob is getting. I see that he is wildly unpopular in these threads and I don't think it's all totally fair. He actually has done quite a bit of changing for this relationship (for him) and even went to marriage therapy. I do get the impression he is a very flat person and not terrifically charismatic. Sophie is very bubbly and can come across as very sweet and friendly and I'm sure she is. I don't know if everybody realizes this but to get some men to even go to therapy is a Herculean effort. Now this is still all Rob's fault for cheating on her and I want to make that emphatically clear. I believe he cheated on her and I believe that broke her heart but I don't think that anybody's even allowed Rob to have a voice in these threads about how he felt when he found out she was bisexual, a fact that has yet to catch up with them, and probably won't because they probably won't stay married long enough for it to catch up with them. I just think the marriage is doomed but I felt like somebody had to say this. Yes!!!! Rob cheated on her but he's trying and she just flies off the handle very easily. He can't win for losing. I mean everything he says and does is going to go back to the cheating in the beginning because she's still very traumatized but she needs ongoing support from a support group for wives and she will see that what she's going through is not for the faint of heart and she's not alone. He also, if he is indeed a sex addict, needs to be in groups with other men walking through his shit. But she just doesn't really know how to use her words it sounds like all I ever hear her say is be nice to me do nice things for me say I'm pretty be nice to me be nice to me and it's like I just can't hear it anymore my ears are bleeding. This is where a professional marriage counselor comes in. Because they can't hear each other. And they're both coming from wounded places. But to say Sophia is a victim is not true. To me what she did was very fraudulent and really made me less sympathetic to her plight.

2024.05.20 09:20 Consistent_Annual315 Hi everyone I'm trying to reach out to Milo and see if I can maybe talk with him about coming to Oklahoma City
 | I would take him on the most wonderful day here's my itinerary submitted by Consistent_Annual315 to fancybaglady2929 [link] [comments] And of course it would have to be what he like to so.. First we're going to go to a wonderful gym and there is a climbing wall at pool it's a little bit away but I can get us there don't worry. Then we're going to go to the botanical gardens there is so much to see there. Then I'm taking you to the gilded acorn or possibly willows or possibly the Flint or maybe mahogany, several lovely places downtown Oklahoma City. Then daily mass is Thursday Friday Tuesday at noon and we would do that. Then I drop off some supplies and help to some people from 1 to 4:00 when I can that is we barter and trade food, toilet paper medicine supplies. I was out of salt pepper and garlic and I had other foods so I was able to trade those foods for salt pepper and garlic until the first when I get more money. And then wait that was a total tangent sorry the itinerary I'm thinking first a great workout then the botanical garden then Mass at noon then lunch over at the Flint or mahogany and then I want to show you Capitol Hill the Oklahoma bar association is two doors down, there is the OU medical community off of Capitol Hill in the Northeast side of Oklahoma City. And then there is the wonderful building that I live in, Milo they make us wonderful food everyday and Monday through Friday. Sometimes it's soul food sometimes it's homemade I mean Cajun level gumbo or it's a mix of lovely beef shrimp. We have a wonderful community coordinator. And Milo if you ever wanted to move someplace the building right here where I am is perfect you would love it here the culture the community everybody loves one another and everybody would be highly supportive of your goals and everybody gets involved with one another. We have church services, we have a strong community of believers and there are some other difficult cases that need help some of them are leaving recidivism for the first time and they're trying to rebuild their lives. And Milo it would just be wonderful for you to be in Oklahoma City maybe just live here for a year or so at our building, it would be so great plus also also also also I want to plan a great big 40th birthday party for you because Milo it doesn't matter about 0 to 40 all of those years are just trading Wheels putting it all together. I may not always agree with you or like what you do or like how you act but I'm Linda like I tell Laura loomer I'm still everybody's friend like I tell crazy Ted and Jack and the rest is crazy men, I have no resentment towards them. I didn't like how Laura loomer got used and taking advantage of and she got hurt she deserves to be better paid and well paid and people are not noticing her work and there's just so much there because the young people versus the old people have very different ways of communicating. Look how Piers Morgan kind of mistreated Laura but Laura was just trying to do full disclosure and post I guess messages or something I don't know young people utilize technology in different ways than other men and women who are older utilize technology it's just a difference in generational matters The anti-Semitism must be stopped but it always existed so I don't know which is heartbreaking Milo. It just breaks my heart because I am from the Roman Catholic Italian Church the Serbian Orthodox church and through the Bible radio or they use the Scofield bible and the racist anti-semite bigotry misogynistic haters said that I can't have through the Bible radio and how Jay Vern and McGee is terrible because he used that translation. Jay Vernon McGee is a Bible teacher that could have wipe the floor with all these spiritual manipulations just like I do I take spiritual manipulations and wipe the floor with them |
