("ONGold" or the "Company") (TSXV:ONAU) are pleased to announce the appointment of John Kim Bell as Chairman of the board of directors of ONGold, effective immediately, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. Mr. Bell is one of the most decorated Indigenous leaders in Canada and an internationally recognized cultural leader and activist in First Nation resource development and environmental matters. His impressive career, spanning across arts, philanthropy, and the corporate world, has led him toward numerous energy and mining development projects, where he represented both First Nations and corporations alike. Notably, he was the leader of Indigenous Affairs for Brookfield Renewable Energy, Glencore, Hatch, and seated on several high-profile boards, including the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation ("CBC"). Similar to the recent appointment of Kyle Stanfield, a seasoned sustainability expert, as Chief Executive Officer, the appointment of Mr. Bell as Chairman of the board of directors of ONGold further demonstrates a commitment to a new and more inclusive approach to mineral exploration and development. This commitment to a progressive approach positions the Company to capitalize on the boundless opportunities within Ontario. Kyle Stanfield, newly appointed Chief Executive Officer of ONGold, commented: "I have had the privilege to collaborate with John Kim over the past number of years and I am extremely pleased that he has agreed to join our board of directors in this leadership role. Having such a distinguished Indigenous leader as Chairman sends a strong signal to the resource sector and the investment community alike that meaningful change starts with leadership. I look forward to continuing to work with John Kim and our board of directors as we advance our Ontario focused Company with our current assets and beyond." John Kim Bell, Chairman of ONGold, commented: "It is with great pride and a sense of purpose that I accepted the role of Chairman of ONGold, where I see an immense opportunity to advance meaningful change and promote a more inclusive and sustainable approach to mineral exploration and development in Ontario. Bonded by our shared values, I look forward to embracing new possibilities across the province with the ONGold team. I am committed to leveraging my multifaceted expertise and advocacy for Indigenous rights to drive ONGold's vision forward and I am honored to be a catalyst for positive change in this transformative endeavor." John Kim Bell Born on the Kahnawake Mohawk Reserve on the south shore of Montreal, Mr. Bell has received numerous awards for his extraordinary work as a philanthropist, including six honorary doctorates from different universities, namely the universities of Toronto, Alberta, Lakehead, Mount Allison, Trent, and Wilfred Laurier. He is an Officer of the Order of Canada and a recipient of the Order of Ontario. Mr. Bell's initial career was as a conductor of Broadway musicals in New York having conducted for Gene Kelly, Vincent Price, Sonny Bono, and Lauren Bacall. He toured as the conductor for the Bee Gees before breaking new ground by being appointed Apprentice Conductor to the Toronto Symphony in 1980, making him the first person of Indigenous heritage to become a symphonic conductor of a major symphony orchestra. His distinguished musical career led him to establish the Canadian Native Arts Foundation, the National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation (known today as "Indspire"), and the National Aboriginal Achievement Awards. Over a period of twenty years, Mr. Bell built Indspire into Canada's premiere Indigenous charity, raising unprecedented financial support for an Indigenous organization. Under his leadership, his foundation sent tens of thousands of Indigenous students to college and university all over Canada, the United States, and Europe. In addition to the CBC, Mr. Bell has served on the board of the Millennium Scholarship Foundation, the Canadian Council on Social Development, the organization Canadians for a New Partnership (CFNP), the Ontario College of Art & Design University, the Glenn Gould Foundation, the Corporation of Massey Hall & Roy Thomson Hall, and the Ontario Chamber of Commerce. Lastly, he is also a founder of Eeyou Power Management Limited, a Cree owned energy company in James Bay, Québec. He has engaged in numerous energy and mining development projects, representing both First Nations as well as corporations. Notably, he was the leader of Indigenous Affairs for Brookfield Renewable Energy from 2007 to 2018, and served in similar roles for Glencore, Hatch, and Horizon Legacy as stated initially.

2024.05.08 23:26 GothicMutt New Grads in Limbo: What are you doing in the meantime?
Graduated this weekend (summa cum laude, 3.98 GPA, 1 YoE @ an internship), but even still, I'm without a job. You all already know how the market is though, so who cares. The better question to ask now is what do we all do in the meantime?
Clearly the answer is some variation of the phrase "write code," but beyond that, what projects are more or less worth pursuing over others?
I made the mistake of spending a lot of my free time in college developing games despite the fact that I never wanted to get into the games industry in the first place. I could gladly keep doing that, simply because I enjoy it, but I'd imagine that my time would be better spent doing something more "marketable."
Do I just pick a random tech stack off of a job listing and throw together a cheap ripoff of Facebook or Twitter (stripped down to its most essential qualities, of course)?
Do I just find any excuse to integrate ChatGPT into another app simply because ChatGPT is the big buzz word everyone loves now?
(I could go on and on...)
I already spend a lot of my free time coding. It's something I'm genuinely very passionate about. I think the issue at the moment is just a) the market, b) time (i.e. time that it'll take for the market to fix itself), and c) how to best siphon my energy into something that will get me employed as soon as possible.
Fortunately for me, there's no real pressure to a job ASAP (my parents are perfectly fine with me staying with them until I find a job). I'd be curious to hear how others are dealing with this though, especially experienced devs going through layoffs or those who survived through other busts (e.g., the dot com bubble).

2024.05.08 23:02 Fun-Show9424 Help regarding educational opportunities / dv 25 winner
Hey everyone, I'm seeking advice on educational opportunities in the USA as a new green card holder. I'm Sudanese, currently studying at a university in Saudi Arabia, and I haven't completed my bachelor's degree yet. My plan is to get my green card, secure a re-entry permit, return to Saudi Arabia to finish my studies, and then move to the USA permanently. I'm also planning to rent an apartment and find a job once I'm there.
My question is about my educational options in the USA as a green card holder during the first few months of my arrival. Can I apply to universities or community colleges? I'm interested in aeronautical science, and before I received my DV-25 acceptance, I got an email from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, offering me a spot in their aeronautical science program. However, the cost was too high—$60,000 per year for four years—which is almost 900,000 Saudi Riyals. I can't afford that without a scholarship.
I've also considered attending a flight academy in Florida called Paris Air. They offer a private pilot license for $13,000 to international students, but I'm curious if prices differ for green card holders.
If anyone has experience or advice on educational pathways and potential scholarships or financial aid for green card holders in the USA, I'd appreciate your insights. Thanks!

2024.05.08 22:45 kithgirlie77 Am I (25F) wrong to feel insecure after my boyfriend (28M) won't stop sharing graphic sexual stories about his exes?
I (25F) have been dating my boyfriend Richard (28M) for almost a year.
Before we started dating, I had only been in one serious adult relationship. My first real boyfriend cheated on me a lot and really destroyed my self esteem. As a result, I didn't really date for several years and focused more on making new friends and finding fulfillment on my own. I think I'm pretty average looking. I know I'm not turning heads, but I think I can look nice enough when I put in effort.
On the other hand, my boyfriend Richard is objectively extremely attractive by pretty much every conventional beauty standard. Before we started dating, he had thousands of matches on dating apps, and wherever we go, other women tend to either stare at him or even outright hit on him (sometimes in front of me). While I appreciate his looks, they were always very secondary to me. We actually had the whole enemies to lovers arc, and only really fell for each other after spending years working together.
Unlike me, Richard played the field with multiple girlfriends and lovers over the past few years. I was of course aware that his experience was unusual (especially for a man), and must have been very different from mine. We were friends before we started dating, and he would often mention in passing ex girlfriends and traveling with lovers on several occasions. I didn't want to come across as insecure as we started dating, so I did my very best to be chill about our experience gap.
When our relationship began, I was very upfront my inexperience, and he was super reassuring. Even though we had an obvious gap, we were very sexually compatible. However, though I never really asked about his past, within a few weeks of us dating, I noticed that he began constantly name-dropping exes. It was pretty harmless at first, like mentioning that he had been to a restaurant with an ex as we passed by it, or had seen a certain movie with an ex, or even expressing how he had been hurt by something his last ex-girlfriend had said to him about his family, but soon he began bringing up very graphic sexual stories. Just so you have a taste of what I'm dealing with, here are some examples (with several details changed to preserve his privacy):
After a year, I now know the names, backstories, and in some cases, sexual preferences, of dozens of women that I have never met. I have to admit, its made me feel much less special. It's not so much that he had the experiences - it's just that instead of creating new memories together, it often feels like we’re reliving his past, over and over again. I sometimes feel like a side character in my own relationship and though he has never given me a sign that he's a cheater, it somehow feels like every attractive woman that passes on the street is a past lover or someone who wants him. I'm just in a really bad headspace and feel exhausted. I literally have to sit in a morning group work meeting with the junior girl he slept with, and if I'm too tired when I get home, he'll be out getting dinner with Kelly, a platonic friend he has literally been inside before. I hate how jealous and small this all makes me feel.
For a little while it seemed like he had stopped talking about past women, but things got really bad last week. I had a terrible day at work and came home exhausted. I sat next to him on the couch while he was playing on his phone and he randomly started telling me that some ex lover had just responded to his Instagram story about a celebrity and I just BLEW up. I told him that even if he's not cheating or has some negative intention with her, I am so sick and tired of hearing the names of random women from his past every single day and it makes me feel so disrespected. I just want to sit on the couch on a random Thursday after work and not have to visualize my boyfriend bending over some random fucking girl.
At this point, it looks like our relationship is on its last legs. He keeps telling me that I'm letting my confidence issues destroy our relationship and that he really does love me and think of me as the one. He says he sees me as his family and the only one he turns to when he wants emotional satisfaction. He tells me he wants to marry me someday. He says he's never dated someone who cared about this issue before, and that there was no negative intention on his side, and that he will do better.
I really struggle to explain how I feel other than disrespected. I know I'm not as experienced, but I do have some interesting memories as well. I just never brought them up because I was so in love I genuinely never thought about them. They just never really crossed my mind while I was with him. I guess I just feel like if he's always talking about his exes, even in passing, then something must be wrong with me. Like I'm not enough to keep him present and focused on me as his partner. I also just don't understand how he expects me to react: does he want me to visualize him having sex with other women? What am I supposed to do with these images? Does he expect me to not be possessive over him at all? This feels like such an unimportant ask for me, and I don't understand why he is dying on this hill. If he can't do this one thing for me, how can I expect him to care for me as a life partner?
Am I just being a prude? Is this how life is when you have a super attractive partner? And even if its not, am I just making a mountain out of a molehill? Like yes, I really don't like knowing all these stories, but I still really love him. Is this just an example of something I should accept because the greater good outweighs it? Please let me know your thoughts, especially if you're a more sex-positive person.

Just so you have a taste of what I'm dealing with, here are some examples (with several details changed to preserve his privacy):
- There was this sexual act I had always wanted to try and he seemed willing to give it a go. I really enjoyed it, and as we were blissfully lying in bed afterwards, he goes “yeah, women always say [XXX] when I do [ACT]”. It really ruined the afterglow of the experience for me, thinking about all the other women he had done this with before me.
- I'm still getting used to the idea of having a partner that wants to go down on me frequently. While we were discussing the subject one night, he suddenly dropped that he had done so much oral sex with one of his past lovers that he had developed a chafing sore on his lip.
- When I started at my new company, he let me know that he had previously slept with one of the new junior hires before we had started dating. I have to see this woman pretty much every other day. He told me not to feel insecure because the sex wasn't very good and he only saw her once. Every so often he'll mention how their mutual friend says she still wants him.
- A month into dating, he revealed that he had previously had sex with his "best friend", a woman named Kelly during a month-long romantic fling. He says they haven't slept together in 3 years and they're basically like brother and sister now. He and Kelly are very close and they text pretty much every day. They still get dinner and hang out (walks/shopping/concerts) weekly.
- We were driving into a new city from the airport and I pointed at a famous landmark that was visible on the skyline. Without skipping a beat, he said he used to hookup with a woman that lived in a building right across the street from the landmark. Whenever I see it now, I just think of him and her.
- He once hooked up with a girl on dating app that had really long earrings. When they were having sex, she whipped her head quickly and one of her earrings accidently scratched him right in the eye, forcing them to stop mid session.
- He once told me his favorite relationship before he met me was his college girlfriend. She had a freckle near the right side of her vagina, and she was the only one who had ever made him orgasm in a certain position.
- One day he revealed that for several years he has sold sexy pictures of himself to older women, and would even go on dates with them in exchange for money (he swears they were just dates). Sometimes they would buy things for him, like furniture, a TV etc. Some would even just give him a monthly allowance with no expectations in return. When we started dating, he said he stopped accepting their money, but he continued talking to them because they were his "friends". After it became a real point of contention, he stopped talking to them after a month.
- He once told me that he had once picked up a random woman at a party and had sex with her on the hood of his car.
- He told me that he used to like threesomes, and that a married couple once flew him out to Vegas for a weekend of sex.
- He told me that he used to have a physically abusive ex named Liz who used to cheat on him, slap him, and throw things at him. Their relationship was very sexual, and on at least one occasion, she brought in her best friend for threesomes. When she and Richard split (in a very dramatic way), he went on a week long sex vacation with her friend. A year later, he hooked up with Liz again and got an STD.
After a year, I now know the names, backstories, and in some cases, sexual preferences, of dozens of women that I have never met. I have to admit, its made me feel much less special. It's not so much that he had the experiences - it's just that instead of creating new memories together, it often feels like we’re reliving his past, over and over again.

Does he expect me to not be possessive over him at all? This feels like such an unimportant ask for me, and I don't understand why he is dying on this hill. If he can't do this one thing for me, how can I expect him to care for me as a life partner?
Am I just being a prude? Is this how life is when you have a super attractive partner? And even if its not, am I just making a mountain out of a molehill? Like yes, I really don't like knowing all these stories, but I still really love him. Is this just an example of something I should accept because the greater good outweighs it? Please let me know your thoughts, especially if you're a more sex-positive person.
2024.05.08 22:43 Fun-Show9424 Help regarding educational opportunities for green card holders
Hey everyone, I'm seeking advice on educational opportunities in the USA as a new green card holder. I'm Sudanese, currently studying at a university in Saudi Arabia, and I haven't completed my bachelor's degree yet. My plan is to get my green card, secure a re-entry permit, return to Saudi Arabia to finish my studies, and then move to the USA permanently. I'm also planning to rent an apartment and find a job once I'm there.
My question is about my educational options in the USA as a green card holder during the first few months of my arrival. Can I apply to universities or community colleges? I'm interested in aeronautical science, and before I received my DV-25 acceptance, I got an email from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, offering me a spot in their aeronautical science program. However, the cost was too high—$60,000 per year for four years—which is almost 900,000 Saudi Riyals. I can't afford that without a scholarship.
I've also considered attending a flight academy in Florida called Paris Air. They offer a private pilot license for $13,000 to international students, but I'm curious if prices differ for green card holders.
If anyone has experience or advice on educational pathways and potential scholarships or financial aid for green card holders in the USA, I'd appreciate your insights. Thanks!

2024.05.08 22:43 BadBlood5902 Do scholarships typically come all at once or do you gradually receive offers?
I received an offer for a scholarship of $1000 a couple of weeks ago. I was wondering if that’s all I’ll get for next fall or will they just randomly pop up over the next few months? I applied to a ton on scholarship universe including all of the general scholarships so I would think I’d get more.

2024.05.08 22:16 Babymama1999 Sued for an eviction from 2018
This is a lot to type so I’m going to try to summarize it.
Maddy & I (both 19 y/o freshman in college) signed a lease for a house with a woman named Heidi. Paid deposit- $300 each or something like that. She promised the house would be cleaned, new cabinets would be installed, new back door would be installed. Never heard from Heidi again. 2 days until our move in date we just went and knocked on the door. The then tenants answered and said oh yea Heidi’s not the landlord anymore Jared is & gave Jared’s #. We called & he had no idea we existed or that we had signed the lease for the house . He allows us to move in. No new lease nothing. When we moved in there were bedbugs, mice, & roaches. Jared tried to blame us & we told him there’s literally a bag of bug killer in the garage , that didn’t come from us🙃 we asked about everything Heidi promised and he said he had no idea who she was and that he and his dad bought the house. He got rid of the bugs. We cleaned the entire house ourselves & used the broken cabinets and doors. 5 months pass and I had lost my scholarship (that was supposed to pay my rent) and I was unable to keep up. I texted him and explained my situation and offered extra money on the rent that month to just end the lease without being sued. He replied “just get out” and I did. MONTHS later he mailed the paperwork to my mothers house (who I do not visit often) and had the papers back dated. They were received by her in June & dated for march. Mind you HEIDI took the copies of mine and maddys ID’s when we signed the lease. We never gave Jared contact info because he never asked for it. He had my cell number: the last thing he said was “just get out.” He mailed all of this paperwork to my moms housethat I didn’t live at. He is charging me for things that weren’t our doing like the broken door we were promised would be fixed. The court automatically found maddy and I wrong or guilty because we didn’t make it to any of the court dates. (I was unaware of this case until after the decision was finalized) Anywho here we are years later and they keep filing proceedings supplementals on me.
How can I advocate for myself here? I don’t have any pictures or texts from back then this was 6 years ago ! Also I set up a payment arrangement for $30/month but never actually paid it I just agreed to get them off my back that week. I specifically say to them EVERY TIME they call that I do not understand this process and am unable to advocate for myself. When they asked me do I understand the payment stuff I said NO.
I say this to say- I’ve read that after so long the statute of limitations runs up, but If you make a payment or acknowledge the debt it restarts.
Advice me PLEASE I’m a 24 year old single mom who has no idea what to do here

2024.05.08 21:51 Jolly_Employment301 no one really prepares you
so I’m 23 years old and I literally don’t know why life is this hard. Why does no one really prepare you? I’m a high school graduate, family isn’t rich (paycheck to paycheck) and I’m not smart enough for a scholarship so I could of gone to college. Am I lazy or am I just unlucky? nothing really ever goes right for me. I’m like that kid who studies really hard or practices hard too and still ends up failing. I’m like the kid who only ever gets recognized for just trying. I like to say im pretty much a good person I have my moments I guess. I just feel like a failure more and more with the years going by. People my age are graduating from college or working there big boy/girl jobs already. And im just some broke dude working for 12 hours at a retail store. no one in my family has you know big jobs or makes big money. I just feel like my whole life I alway got short end of the stick. And I just honestly so tired of everyone looking down on me. but I just feel like im stuck in this hole. And to be honest I just feel like I never really got a real shot. But when I say this out loud to someone they make me feel like im complaining and maybe I am but, I just wasn’t prepared for all this.

2024.05.08 21:45 anorangecat70 I have no idea what is this guy doing and it is making me anxious.
Hey. Okay so, I am a 22F that is not really into social media. (I only use ig to watch reels) and I never talk with guys or anything. So please, if something sounds obvious or anything, don't be rude. I am not used to these stuff. That is why I am writing this post lol.
It started like almost two months ago when a random guy, that apparently goes to the same college, started following me on ig. I followed him back but I thought it was kinda weird. First, I don't know him and second, it is kinda hard to find me on ig.
Anyway, I didn't mind too much.
The thing is, I realized that he added me to his close friends almost immediately. I thought that he adds all the girls he follows (like 800 girls, huge red flag lol) and I started watching his stories only because of curiosity. I mean, I see that green circle and I click. That's it. He texted me a couple of times replying to my stories, and in the first conversation he told me that he saw me at Uni but didn't say hi, blah blah. And I ghosted him after asking how he found me. He texted me again weeks after that and the conversations were random and I replied kinda dry. He instead, talked too much and shared things about his day and stuff in voice messages. But again, short and random conversations.
I realized that he posts mostly things that I like. For example, cats, fantasy stuff, films. And kinda "hot pics" of him. Also, he watches my stories INMMEDIATLY. Literally. Sometimes I only post stuff to see how fast he sees them, and it is always between 3-10min. It is crazy because he follows a lot of girls. And my account is almost empty. I only post random stuff, not myself, unless I am not showing my face lol.
Oh and, I never like photos of him. Just his random stories or cats. I don't want him to think that I am interested. I have noticed that he does the same with me. He likes everything I post unless it is related with me? or if I am tagging someone else.
Now, he keeps adding me and removing me from his close friends. I don't really like those games. Like what does even mean that you keep manually adding me and removing me now? I have noticed because he used to post every day and now he doesn't.
Anyway, this is giving me headache. I just want to know wtf with this guy. Again, I never talk with guys so I don't know what to do. I don't want to block him because I am still curious of he found me on ig.
Any thoughts?

2024.05.08 21:24 jstiddy15 Just moved to the area! Looking for recommendations for bars/restaurants in the area
So I went to school at UVA from 2007-2011 and mostly just stuck to the campus area/corner and so despite having lived here for four years I am pretty unfamiliar with places downtown. Also I feel like at 35 I’ve mostly outgrown the corner atmosphere.
Anyways I live at City Walk Apartments so pretty close walk to the downtown mall. In general, I like places with a laid back vibe, live music, sports, and trivia nights. Not looking for one particular place with all of the above but just places that are good that may have any of those. Also places with good cocktails
I also like good quality food and tend to avoid chains. I lived in NYC for a year and it’s unfortunately turned me into a bit of a food snob. I like authentic ethnic cuisine but also enjoy typical bar food that’s good quality
Thinking of checking out Millers tonight. I’d heard about in college and seems to be an institution so probably a good place to start. Appreciate any recs you guys can give me. Thanks!!! 🙏
Also as an aside is the downtown mall area safe to walk at night? I’ve seen mixed reviews online and would be walking back and forth between there and CityWalk potentially late. I’ve spent time living in NYC, Chicago, and Baltimore and im generally pretty street smart but didn’t know if there were any particular areas to avoid.

2024.05.08 21:14 tetrometers How would neoliberals "level the playing field" of opportunity without compromising liberal principles?
It shouldn't be controversial, even on here, to say that the amount of resources and money your family has plays a significant role in where you end up in life.
Empirical data suggests a strong correlation between poverty and academic results. The children of the poor start out at an inherent disadvantage. They just don't have the same access to resources and opportunities as kids who are born well-to-do. I have attached a research paper on this topic in another post.
To learn properly and excel, you need resources. And some people are born with significantly more access to resources than others.
Picture a rich kid.
Their parents can pay for the best tutors in order to boost that kid's grades. At home, that kid likely enjoys a very stable environment where they can focus on schoolwork and achieve better academic results. This kid will have no trouble paying for college either. They won't necessarily need a scholarship to be able to go to school, and they won't graduate with debt. Their parents can afford piano lessons, ski lessons, and all kinds of other activities to enhance that kid's skills and make their college applications more attractive.
The rich or well-to-do kid probably goes to a good quality public school or even a private school specifically designed with the resources and techniques to inflate grades and get their students into top universities.
Compare that to a poor kid.
This poor kid can't access the same level of academic help. Their home environment may be chaotic and stressful, making it much harder for them to focus on their studies. This poor kid may need to work part time in order to help his family out with the rent, meaning they have much less time to study and focus on schoolwork. I mean, imagine getting home from a McDonalds' shift late at night and having a math test the next day.
They might attend a shitty public school, and though they may be of the same level of talent and intelligence as the rich kid, they won't be able to afford the fancy private school which pours resources into making sure its students perform well.
This is not a level playing field.
It is very much like running a marathon where some people start further ahead than others. While poor kids can theoretically get into elite schools on scholarships, they actually have a higher academic standard than rich kids in order to get in. A rich kid can be academically average but attend a fancy private school, but a poor kid would need to be an even stronger student than the rich one just to get in. So the burden is still higher on the poor.
My questions are as follows:

2024.05.08 20:54 Dragon_on_live AITAH for being mad at just life or am I too emotionally?
Let's start with my mother (40F) when she had my older brother (24M) in the 2000s you can likely guess the situation she put herself in. In my country 16 is the legal age of consent and despite my older brother's farther being 5 years older then her at the time they still got it on. Because "she'd always dreamed of a 7 children family" but apparently that didn't include the farther, giving that she practically ghosted him. My grandfather kicked her out because in his mind, "if you're old enough to have a kid then you're old enough to live on your own".
So she moved into to a government owned property on the same neighborhood and had my older brother. She got by on unemployment pay, made no efforts to go to school or have the free childcare the people were offering her at the time and instead smoked her days away with my brother in foot.
5 years later she'd get with my father and have my older sister (F19) and a year later have me (F18) and you'd probably think they had some sort of plan? Nope.
She'd actually got my farther deported after a nasty argument and brags about it too this day. Growing up was rough for me. My mother didn't believe in "health care and check ups" or going to a doctor in general.
So when I was young I only got half the vaccines I was meant too (which I found out after the covid vaccine were given out) and she mostly just relied on Facebook for information regarding any topic.
At a point in my life I'd had to get a surgery done on my arm because she'd read online that "the dark patches in my skin were cancerous" (and I'm gald to say the whole hospital was shut down almost 7 weeks later), and too this day I still have the scars and you can even see were they put the needles and the 6 stitches, line by line.
She was neglectful when it came to my education too. She'd take awards like she'd helped but disregard anything else, my school used to do positive phone calls home which is as it sounds. But I'd always feel so embarrassed when I'd have to sheepish tell them not to call home because if she got a call and was sleeping (she was a away sleeper) then I'd get yelled at for waking her up.
My older sister wasn't much better either, she and her friends would often bully me and my sister would just stand and watch like I was some random person making a scene. I told my mother and she didn't see the issue because school life and home life were separate.
My brother was the only person who was really nice to me, but since the huge gap in our age we couldn't really connect.
By the time I got to high school my mother and sister had forced the mentality of "not eating breakfast was a sign of maturity" and that's what adults do, taking advantage of my naiveitys I blindly listen for 3 years straight, even skipping lunch to be extra mature.
I was later told it was there "inside joke" and by that point my older brother was already gone, out of my my life and off living his own.
And by that point high school teachers had began to notice and I was given a counselling appointment for once every 2 weeks. I was excited because I'd never had anyone to just listen to me but little did I know it was some sort of sick joke.
They made a big show about how private everything would be but they'd been secretly sending notes from the appointment to my mother inwhich she'd mock me when mad. I didn't understand how she could have put the 2 and 2 together about my life. Half of me thought she was involved much more then I thought, so despite the insults I thought she'd cared.
It was only till she'd spilled to me in an argument that I realised what was happening so I cut off my counselor.
And then theres my friends. I had a big friend group and a girlfriend at the time. That part of my life was pretty great right? I found out 1.5 years into our relationship that she'd been cheating on me and my friends knew about it but thought I'd "need the support".
I became absorbed in sadness and had my grades as a get away. Just work. I'd began having a increasingly unhealthy diet because food was the only thing I'd rely on. It couldn't mock me.
By the time Covid had struck, my high school (despite me being high risk) has actually forgotten to give me the form for the vaccination.
Then my mother met another guy during 2019 just before lock-down. And you guessed it, F3 was born in 2020.
And despite the men she was seeing being arrested for drug abuse, my sister luckily turned out healthy and is very smart for her age.
I got into my college of choice, and that's when I was brought with the possibility that I might be autistic. Which at this point I'm just waiting for the papers confirming it, I've been told by many specialists that I was but the waiting list is 4-5 years due to Covid.
I still remember the words of what my mother had said to me after leaving the appointment, "if you would have acted more like a sp*z we could have gotten some money for it!" And my silent apology.
College came around and because my mother didn't want a "r*" in her house she'd called up my college to come take me. They declined basically saying unless I was on my death bed then there was no way they'd have me either.
I started counselling at my college a couple months ago but I can already see they're tired of me.
They've given me 2-4 opinions from different professionals saying I was depressed in a "holy shit how has you not tried anything yet" kinda way. I actually had to switch at a certain point after someone who'd recently given birth was my counselor for that session (which I didn't know at the time) and I asked 'if there had ever been a point inwhich you'd just made up excuses to live even though you should have been an abortion?' I don't believe I should be alive. I'm not worth it. I already know it.
And as of recent I found out that the drug using man that my mother hookup with had a wife and kids, but also was being tried for r*pe soon.
And my habits of eating have been getting worse. I only eat sweet thing because even though caffeine doesn't effect me any more I think maybe one day it'll change.
My mother thinks I'm dramatic. It's not that bad. She wasn't that bad. And she's "better then some Internet moms out there"
So reddit AITA?

So she moved into to a government owned property on the same neighborhood and had my older brother. She got by on unemployment pay, made no efforts to go to school or have the free childcare the people were offering her at the time and instead smoked her days away with my brother in foot.
5 years later she'd get with my father and have my older sister (F19) and a year later have me (F18) and you'd probably think they had some sort of plan? Nope.
She'd actually got my farther deported after a nasty argument and brags about it too this day. Growing up was rough for me. My mother didn't believe in "health care and check ups" or going to a doctor in general.
So when I was young I only got half the vaccines I was meant too (which I found out after the covid vaccine were given out) and she mostly just relied on Facebook for information regarding any topic.
At a point in my life I'd had to get a surgery done on my arm because she'd read online that "the dark patches in my skin were cancerous" (and I'm gald to say the whole hospital was shut down almost 7 weeks later), and too this day I still have the scars and you can even see were they put the needles and the 6 stitches, line by line.
She was neglectful when it came to my education too. She'd take awards like she'd helped but disregard anything else, my school used to do positive phone calls home which is as it sounds. But I'd always feel so embarrassed when I'd have to sheepish tell them not to call home because if she got a call and was sleeping (she was a away sleeper) then I'd get yelled at for waking her up.
My older sister wasn't much better either, she and her friends would often bully me and my sister would just stand and watch like I was some random person making a scene. I told my mother and she didn't see the issue because school life and home life were separate.
My brother was the only person who was really nice to me, but since the huge gap in our age we couldn't really connect.
By the time I got to high school my mother and sister had forced the mentality of "not eating breakfast was a sign of maturity" and that's what adults do, taking advantage of my naiveitys I blindly listen for 3 years straight, even skipping lunch to be extra mature.
I was later told it was there "inside joke" and by that point my older brother was already gone, out of my my life and off living his own.
And by that point high school teachers had began to notice and I was given a counselling appointment for once every 2 weeks. I was excited because I'd never had anyone to just listen to me but little did I know it was some sort of sick joke.
They made a big show about how private everything would be but they'd been secretly sending notes from the appointment to my mother inwhich she'd mock me when mad. I didn't understand how she could have put the 2 and 2 together about my life. Half of me thought she was involved much more then I thought, so despite the insults I thought she'd cared.

2024.05.08 20:34 CompetitionPale1973 I am a failure
I am going to kill myself but I just want to get all of my emotions out somewhere before I do. Just something to memorialize myself. So pathetic I know. I have to go to reddit to do this but no one will care once I am dead. I am a Sophomore at Tuskegee University studying Aerospace Engineering. I am going to lose my scholarship because of my shitty grades. I will not be able to afford school with my scholarship. I have already been on academic probation before last summer so I believe they will have no mercy on me. My math final exam is tomorrow and I know I am going to fail it horribly. I missed 3 of my exams and the one I did take I did shitty on it. I have missed so much class because I have been planning my suicide and I just didn't want to be seen failing.
I wanted to be an astronaut so badly, It's the one thing I've settled on doing in life. I wanted to be a fighter pilot in the Marines as well. Flying is my one passion. I love being in the sky. I one day hoped I want to make my mom proud. I love my mommy but I am going to have to kill myself. I am nothing without a degree. I am first generation and I am just struggling adjusting to the college life. But I have been given chances already. I am irredeemable. I am ugly and stupid. But soon my failure will manifest in death. It will all before over soon and I will have reaped my consequences. I deserve to die because of this.
I love my brothers too. I told my twin brother what I am going to do but he can't help me, he is to far away. No one can help me. All of my friends are passing except for me but I am extremely proud of them. I am going to overdose on some heart meds. I have been contemplating doing this for the longest and my grades have solidified this decision. I can't go back home. Home is a dark place for me. Very dark place. It will be a manifestation of all my failure to be met with my childhood room once more.
I am proud of my research project on refitting combustion aircraft to electric and working with NASA CubeSat research. I am proud of my research colleagues and I hope they keep pushing things forward. I am also proud of completing the NASA L'SPACE program. (Thanks L'Fam) One day I imagined my self flying F-35s or maybe even the next generation of fighter planes. My lovely and beautiful friends joked that I would build the first colony on Mars. Haha.
I loved playing cello and I loved building Legos. I loved the flower sets and I have the Orchid one built. It all doesn't matter anymore. Nothing matters and soon I will rest. I just want to thank everyone in my life for their patience and time. I am nothing but a runt.

2024.05.08 20:29 mEistEdEdrakE I need advice
I have been preparing and struggling for JEE since class 8. And now when I have reached class 12 I have realised that IIT is a futile dream. Even if I go to IIT, placement is not guaranteed and even if I get placement, there's very low chance I am getting anything above 24lpa, which does not satisfy the life I am aiming for. This is because corporate sector is incredibly saturated in India right now.
Anyway, I have been reading up on a few things on internet for a while now, and I have realised that it is far easier and better to get into foreign colleges that have been ranked far higher than even IISC bengalore in the global surveys and rankings. But the thing is, my parents won't spend even a penny on me. Like, sure, maybe travel expenses, but nothing more. They will help me with passport and stuff if I need, but nothing more.
So, I ask you this. I want to study abroad, preferably in Germany(since they waive tution fees and even provide scholarship as long as my academics are good enough). I need my tution fees waived off, and I can earn my living with part time jobs if I can get one. But I don't know what to do or where to start. Please give me a plan or tell me where can I learn about procedures to think of one. I can understand that the first month will be the hardest since I won't get part time job right then, I will have to look for it.
My English is good, I am quite fluent in it too. I think my maths and English is good enough to score quite high on SAT, IELTS, but I will still prepare for the following year if I have to. For holistic achievements, I don't really have anything physical going on but I have learnt music of two types and officially learnt till 5th year, earning Distinction in 2 of them. Please tell me if I need something else to add to my portfolio too for my goals.
As for college admission procedures, finding a place to live, driving, monetary help, I have no idea.

2024.05.08 20:27 ThrowRa11357 What do I do? Reassurance helps too
I feel so fucking stupid. Someone added me on discord randomly as I join servers for making friends sometimes. And I started chatting someone up and started a "relationship" with them. And now they've threatened to send my pictures to family members and also to school affiliated accounts. As I told them my name and what school I go to(college). And as I have my name on my social medias it was easy to track me down. There are demanding a $200 steam gift card. What do I do?? I've already reported them on discord and flagged the messages on discord of them blackmailing me. Also submitted a StopNCII application. What do I do. I don't want my family to find out how stupid I am for sending nudes pics to strangers . I haven't blocked them yet as I'm giving more time for myself as they are probably expecting money.
