2024.05.20 08:48 Fanciful1986 Is it legal for a DCYF worker to lie about a drug test!
Ok, this happened to me in 2015 and I’ve always wondered if I had a case…
In 2015 I was a recovering heroin addict on suboxone. I got pregnant and let my doctor know what was going on so I could be put on a very low dose. The pregnancy was tough, with a lot of Braxton-Hicks contractions. I often would have to lay upside down on my couch (to take the pressure off my cervix) listening to soothing music and drinking tea.
Despite that, My son was born at around 32 weeks and he was 4lbs even. Very small and born breach, and when he came out he was not breathing. They had to suction his airways and someone had to give him his first breath with a ventilator. He was immediately sent to the NICU to be put inside one of those horrible incubator boxes, where you can only touch them through a rubber arm and glove.
Needless to say we were distraught. But after he was sent to the NICU I was visited by a woman from the DCYF (they investigate every child born on suboxone as a rule). I’ll call her Kim. When I met with this woman I got the worst feeling whenever I’d answer her questions or say something. Her overall disdain for me was palpable. In my mind I’m thinking to myself “this woman hates me!”. But I still tried to be cordial and cooperative.
Anyway, the day after she met with me, she met with my son’s father and his mother, and she told them that our son was withdrawing from drugs! My son’s father and his mother were horrified to say the least. Kim then asked his mother and he if they would be able to care for my baby because she did not anticipate that I’d be allowed to have my child. Of course they said yes. When the distressing meeting was over my boyfriend first called the hospital to check on his son, and he was then going to call me.
When he called the hospital he asked what was going on with his son. The nurse on the phone actually laughed! She said “we only give him caffeine in the mornings, he’s not withdrawing from anything as far as we know… I’ll check his chart but I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
My son’s father then called me and told me what had happened. I knew they would be drug testing me, the baby and my placenta, but I had only taken my prescription medications and a very low dose at that.
That’s when I realized she was so sure that I was going to fail for drugs that she was just telling everyone the results were back! I knew it couldn’t be possible, but as an ex-drug addict I was also doubting myself. Could I be wrong? Was I crazy? Could this really be happening?
After this I got a call from my ex, the father of my oldest son. He told me Kim had told him the same thing as she wanted to take my oldest son (who had never lived with anyone else) and move him in with his father. I knew that had to be a violation of my rights, because my ex had no right to know anything about the condition of my child who was not related to him, but again, I was unsure. And I was scared of this woman. Did she really have this kind of power? Had my drug test come back positive?
This was all happening on a Friday. I spent the weekend waiting anxiously to call the DCYF office and speak to Kim and hopefully someone in charge of her. Monday finally came and I got my mail early in the morning. Inside was a copy of my drug test. My CLEAN drug test…
I was elated! I immediately called Kim’s line, and suddenly it led me to another woman’s desk. A supervisor who greeted me kindly and asked me to identify myself. I was all too happy to tell her who I was and ask her how to speak to my case worker, Kim, whose card I was holding in my hand.
She replied that she was now handling my case. I hesitated and asked why? She said again that she would be the one handling my case from now on. I then asked her why Kim had told my bf and his mother that my son had been in withdrawal from drugs. Again, she avoided my question and told me they’d be closing my case. I just needed to sign some papers.
I was confused. But I could tell this woman was not going to discuss Kim, for whatever reason. I was happy to hear the case would be closed so I agreed to come in with my bf and his mother that day.
When we came in they had only a few papers. But the last one I started to read and it said something along the lines of “I (my name) agreed with Kim that I may have had drugs in my system resulting in my son experiencing opioid withdrawal” and so on…
I also noted how it was backdated to Friday. It was Monday. I refused to sign, as did my bf and his mom. When we refused I was told I needed to sign or they would “consider permanent placement” of my newborn. In a panic, we signed…
I later found out Kim was fired Monday morning. Because of my case? I don’t know.
The case was closed, I have my children, but was this legal? What happened? Does anyone have any idea as to why the DCYF worker was able to do this or if it happens often? I’m hoping to hear from people who have worked in the DCYF or family court. Thank you!!

Reviews🔗Fast and Stylish Hoonigan Hoonicorn RC Carhttps://preview.redd.it/jaxp8bpx2j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e2db077efeb75710b5db7726e9c4cb558fe72eb As a remote control car enthusiast, I've always been on the lookout for a vehicle that delivers thrill, performance, and visually appealing design. The Flybar Hoonigan Hoonicorn met all my expectations and more. The moment I unboxed it, I knew this wasn't just another toy but a collector's dream. The first thing that struck me was its sleek, black design. It perfectly replicates the iconic Hoonicorn, an aggressive and unorthodox racing car. Flybar, known for producing high-performance toys, ensured that every detail of the car was meticulously crafted, making it a joy to behold and show off. Operating the car was incredibly easy. With its intuitive remote control, even young kids can learn to navigate it in no time. My 7-year-old son loved it and had a blast making the car do doughnuts around our living room. The battery life is impressive too, lasting long enough for multiple play sessions before needing a recharge. Speaking of recharge, this remote-controlled car comes with rechargeable batteries, which is a nice touch considering how expensive replaceable batteries can get. Plus, they charge relatively quickly, so there's not much downtime between play sessions. However, there are a few minor drawbacks to this otherwise excellent product. The car can become a bit unwieldy at high speeds, especially when performing tight turns. It can also be quite noisy, but that's part of the excitement, isn't it? Overall, the Flybar Hoonigan Hoonicorn is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a fast, easy-to-use, and visually appealing remote-controlled car. It's perfect for kids and adults alike who want to experience the adrenaline-pumping thrill of racing without breaking the bank. 🔗High-Speed 1:20 Scale RC Monster Truck with 4x4 Waterproof Functionalityhttps://preview.redd.it/a8rw3vfy2j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65a4e7de6cdd8c825e0cd0aa7320250ce6326a75 I recently got my hands on these high-speed remote control cars, and I have to say, they've been a blast! As someone who loves off-road adventures, I was especially excited to test out their 4x4 capabilities. What really stood out to me was the powerful built-in motor that comes with these trucks. It provides enough power to scorch tires and handle rough terrains with ease. I also appreciated the extended run time, thanks to the two rechargeable batteries. This means more fun without having to constantly stop and recharge. The show-stopping looks and extraordinary grip of the 1:20 scale trucks are definitely another highlight. They're perfect for impressing friends or simply enjoying some speedy fun on your own. And speaking of speed, these trucks can reach up to 30 KMH, making them quite the thrill ride! On the downside, one thing I noticed was that the controls take a little getting used to, especially if you're new to remote control vehicles. However, after spending some time with the pistol-like 2.4GHz radio remote controller, I was able to navigate through obstacles quite smoothly. In conclusion, if you're looking for a cheap yet fast remote control car that offers impressive performance and durability, then these 1:20 scale trucks might just be the perfect fit for you. Just remember to give yourself some time to master those controls, and you'll be tearing up the tracks in no time! 🔗Fast and Durable 4x4 Off-Road RC Truckhttps://preview.redd.it/18hdpeoy2j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ea40e94fae736355caea746139fcef91271b6408 As an avid thrill-seeker, I was excited to give the Tecnock Fast RC Cars a try. This 4x4 remote control truck sure didn't disappoint! I was blown away by its speed - reaching up to 40km/h - all thanks to its 380 brushed motor. Plus, the professional steering system gave me stable control, making each drive a colorful experience. The shock absorption suspension system was also a major plus. The metal spring shock absorber is adjustable and ensures strong anti-collision and shock resistance, extending the toy car's life cycle. Its translucent car shell with bright LED lights added an extra level of coolness and visibility. One of the best features was the inclusion of two 7.4V 800mAh rechargeable batteries and a USB charger. This extends the driving time to more than 40 minutes and can be charged via USB, making it fast and convenient. However, one downside, though not a major one, was the durability of the plastic body. It's made of high-quality material, but it's still plastic, so I had to be careful while maneuvering it. All said and done, the Tecnock Fast RC Cars were a perfect blend of high-speed thrill, durability, and easy usability. Great for kids aged 14 and up, and a fantastic gift option! 🔗Military Grade RC Hobby Rock Crawler Truck: Real-Time Driving & 4WDhttps://preview.redd.it/271klh2z2j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b4069c4f4c0acf020b12e78c45a6f1eb95253709 I recently got my hands on the REMOKING RC Hobby Toys Military Truck - a perfect gift for both kids and adults who love a little adventure in their lives. This remote-controlled truck is not just a toy, but a thrilling off-road experience. The first time I took it out for a spin, I was blown away by how easily it maneuvered across different terrains, from the ground to the mountains. One of the most exciting features of this truck is its real-time driving capabilities. With a Wi-Fi camera equipped, I could watch my truck navigate through obstacles in real time. It was definitely a unique and thrilling experience that made me want to play with it for hours! The truck is made for all-terrain driving. It's got 4-wheel drive, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. However, what stood out the most during my testing was its high-frequency 2.4GHz transmitter system. This ensured I had complete control over the truck from a distance, which made the overall experience even more enjoyable. To wrap up, although the truck is perfect for driving across varied terrains and providing real-time video feeds, the battery life could be improved. But overall, this is an awesome remote-controlled truck that delivers on the promise of fun and adventure. 🔗Fast and Customizable 1:10 Scale RC Car (65 KM/H Speed)https://preview.redd.it/zz15twjz2j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=98028ae05768f8ae512c3682cb9d82dbb9b3e440 As soon as I got my hands on this 1:10 scale brushless RC car, I knew it was going to be a game-changer. Right out of the box, it was ready to go, and its crazy fast speed had me racing around the neighborhood in no time. The customizable settings on the ESC made it easy to tweak for optimal performance, and the Li-Po battery ensured I could enjoy the thrill of racing without worrying about running out of juice. What really stood out for me was the monster trucks' durability and ability to handle any terrain. The oil-filled metal shocks and heavy-duty wheels allowed me to take on sand, rocks, or concrete with ease, and the option to switch between two included body shells made it a real head-turner. The only downside I encountered was the limited range of the remote control - but that was quickly remedied by keeping it closer to me while racing. Overall, this 65 km/h speed remote control car has been a great addition to my toy collection, and I can't wait to see how far I can push its capabilities. 🔗Micro Fasten' Racing Car, Super Small Wireless C Vehiclehttps://preview.redd.it/pg1hcqvz2j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9b39cd761e2a6b1d0684c6b3f32725b6912af5ac I recently picked up the Westminster Worlds Smallest C Car Random Color for my kids, and it's proven to be a huge hit in our household. This tiny powerhouse is perfect for those who love remote-controlled toys without taking up too much space. The 8-direction movement feature makes it incredibly easy to navigate through obstacles, and the headlights ensure clear visibility even in low-light conditions. However, the rechargeable lithium battery does take a while to charge, so patience is key. On the flip side, the remote requires three AA batteries, which aren't included in the package - a minor inconvenience, but not a deal-breaker. Overall, this micro-scale C car is a great choice for those who enjoy small, fast remote-controlled vehicles that offer hours of entertainment. 🔗Fast and Durable RC Car for Outdoor Adventureshttps://preview.redd.it/xu0q5i803j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=58912737508251ba386c8d9a4854a1fb1b9feb04 I must admit, I've never been much of a remote control car enthusiast. But when I laid my hands on this Tecnock speedster, I couldn't resist giving it a whirl. The first thing that struck me was its sleek design - it looks every bit a racing machine you'd see on the racing track. The bright LED headlights make it stand out even more. As for the performance, well, it doesn't disappoint there either. The 1:16 scale makes it perfect for both indoor and outdoor play. The 25 km/h top speed ensures it doesn't get left behind in the dust. And the 2.4GHz remote control ensures no interference even if you're racing with other cars. The large 7.4V 1000mAh batteries provide quite the playtime, lasting over an hour on a single charge. But the standout feature for me was the sturdy build quality. The high-quality ABS material, coupled with the anti-crash rubber tires, meant my rough landings didn't result in any serious damage. On the flip side, the car doesn't perform too well on wet surfaces. Also, the lack of an all-inclusive controller battery can be a bit of a letdown. Overall, the Tecnock Remote Control Car offers a thrilling ride at a reasonable price. It's perfect for both adults and kids who love a little bit of adventure on four wheels. Buyer's GuideRemote controlled (RC) cars are a popular hobby for many enthusiasts, offering the thrill of racing at high speeds without the risk or expense of full-scale automobiles.

2024.05.20 08:46 VeryTiredGirl93 I'm 30 years old and I feel like my life has never even begun, and it probably never will.
I'm tired.
I thought I had finally gotten a job I was actually good at, and where I was accepted despite my very prominent autism, and that allowed me to live in a place i don't hate. But once again it's gone. My contract is not going to be renewed and I am going to be sent back to my home country since I'm on a work visa.
With the added insult that i won't be able to get another job in the uk ever, because of the idiotic new work visa rules.
Last time i was in my home country, before moving here, I was homeless for a year. It was awful. Honestly left me traumatized. This time my mum has a place where i can stay for a bit, but it's not much better. It's in the middle of nowhere (I can't drive, tried to learn, never been able to), completely isolated, and it's the tinyest place where i won't even have my own space.
I can't do it anymore. I fought so much to get here, endured so much, and I can't do it all over again.
I don't even know where to go from here. With the uk being closed as a possibility, all that's left is european countries where i don't even speak the language. I doubt i'll ever be happy anywhere.
for 30 years it felt like poverty continously just... puts my life on hold. I keep moving from place to place but can never stay enough to form any meaningful connections, friendshilps... nothing.
I feel so worthless and alone.
I don't know what even is the point to keep struggling for this kind of life.
At my age i have no meaningful friendships. Never had a relationship. Never even been kissed. Because aside from my many other issues, figuring out how to survive one more month always takes priority.
I just want to kill myself before my visa runs out. The idea scares me, but I honestly don't think I have anything else to live for. I am scared of hanging, because i know i'll somehow fuck it up. I wish i could just find an accessible tall place to jump from, but most local bridges seem to have fences. I was reading about Beachy head, which is a bit far away, but maybe seems like a good option.
I'm so scared, but I can't think of another option. I don't want to live this life anymore, i've ran out of hope that i'll ever be happy.

2024.05.20 08:42 Zealousideal-Idea732 Help me please.
I’ve been having anxiety most of my life now however , for a couple of months this random shit has been happening to me. Pretty sure it started happening right after my break up with this one girl which depeleted my mental health state I wanted to kill myself , searching up ways since their is no gun in the house from past sucicide attempts however this is not the part of the discussion it’s the shit that happened after , for a couple of months now I’ve been getting thsi fucking itching and hot tingle ness , I have no fucking idea how to describe it , it’s genuinely just this unbearable hot sensation and it tends to get itchy it happens all over my body and like once it flares up i get dots all over my body like hives or some shit , but I’ve been working with my doctors for over 2 months on this situation I’ve sent pictures I went in to the place , etc , they’ve prescribed me this like shit for my skin this shampoo and said it could be a “pore problem” like with my skin or something. So i was using this wash they gave me this benzoyl peroxide shit I think? Pretty sure I’m just going off the top of my head , anywho they also gave me this like oil thing to put on my skin after I get out , and we also got some allergy medication since they thought it was some allergy thing , and i remember using all of it before a haircut took my shower used the wash used the oil and used the moisturizer they recommended and took a couple allergy pills , got in the car and went there and like 5 mins out from the barber shop i get the ichyness feeling and I start getting hot , and then I look at my hand and the dots are there , and once I see the dots I can’t stop thinking about them no matter what breathing exercises I do I won’t stop thinking abt the dots and once those dots are there they tend to stay till I know or well my body knows were completely out of the situation, and I’ve tried other medication prescribed from my phycatrist which she thought they where hives , and I can easily test out if I get the itchiness and hot tingless by working out since i guess working out gets me all heated up and I’m doing some type of exercise and working my body it tends to make me get the itchiness and hot tingleness not the dots but the hot sensation and itchiness , and they didn’t fucking work. I get these hot sensations and dots and itchiness in public spaces usually , like I’m assuming it’s anxiety based and well I may have some health issue but the doctors literally don’t know cause it’s a symptom of a bunch of things , I guess. But it literally ruined my life , I can’t drive I can’t work I can’t hangout with friends , like I’ll be on the game laughing randomly and I’ll get the hotness sensation and itchiness and decide to walk away and like take a cold shower , I can’t even get fuckign haircuts , it’s genuinely ruining my life and it just started like 5 months ago and my Life has not been the same , im honestly not gonna re read this im just speaking whats on my mind , it’s just fucking ruined my life and the doctors aren’t even really Helping cause I’m assuming they don’t know what it is , but it’s a hot sensation and like tingles that are quite literally unbearable , i was buying a new pc and I literally had to go out of the store cause I was starting to get the hot sensation , when I’m talking I get it when I’m out in public and I feel like people are looking at me and I’m insecure cause ion have a haircut I get the hot sensation , I honestly jsut need help and i came into here to ask about the best products I could literally use to calm down my anxiety, I have a addictive personality so I don’t want to learn towards weed cause it can also flare up my anxiety , I wanted to try cbd products or something , i just need help this is ruining my life.

2024.05.20 08:36 silhaa How do we move forward with this?
Basically,my boyfriend and I were out on a date and when we were at the table waiting for our food,we were joking around about checking each others phones and he said show me your WhatsApp as a joke. I was like look and just opened my WhatsApp and gave it. I have this thing where I feel uncomfortable giving access to my phone or my laptop to anyone,regardless of my relationship w that person. It makes me unsettled if someone has my phone/laptop far too long because there’s a lot that I keep on these devices that are just for myself,nothing incriminating or that errs on the side of cheating. So i acted weirdly and grabbed my phone and quickly showed him my Instagram as well. I asked as a joke and he gave me his phone but I didn’t even take a peek because well i trust him.
Fast forward to when we’re in his car he tells me he felt insecure because of the way I acted,like I’ve something to hide. Which understandably so,I did act like I’ve something to hide. Now we were both high and drunk as well,and he said he was getting paranoid thinking of the way I reacted to the situation and I’d never acted that way before which I agree. I tried to explain it to him that I’m weird when it comes to my phone and my laptop and that there’s nothing on it that would suggest infidelity of any sort but he was too clouded by his emotions and wasn’t opening to hearing me out,he just said if there’s nothing on there let me go through it once and you can prove me wrong. Now this going through each others phones thing that couples do is something that goes against the values I hold for relationships,because I believe reaching that point means the relationship is already dead. And I thought he was also aligned on this because he’s told me checking each others phone is weird and I wouldn’t ever agree on a relationship w someone that does that. I do agree the way I acted was very unlike me it did seem like I had something to hide. So I flat out denied doing that for him because it goes against the values that I hold for relationships which makes me look more sus I agree. He was visibly distressed because in his opinion the explanation I was giving were mere words and if I let him go thru my WhatsApp once i could prove him wrong.
He said he tried not to think much of it while we were sitting and he was expecting me to notice his changed demeanour in the restaurant and ask him what’s wrong. I told him it’s harder for me to read a person when I’m under the influence which I’ve told him before also. He told me if he didn’t tell me about this right now,the feelings will ruminate if he keeps it in the rest of the relationship and end up making things much worse so he wanted to get to the bottom of this and move ahead w the relationship. And when I denied,he said it would be a dealbreaker because his mind would never have peace continuing forward and it would harbour actual trust issues. He told me just let me go thru your WhatsApp for 2 minutes and I hope you prove me wrong. He wasn’t ready to listen and wanted a solution that would alleviate this problem fit to his liking. Finally I gave up and let him go thru it and I broke down. There was nothing on it and he was extremely apologetic about it and we discussed it in detail. This was extremely shitty of him to put me thru especially when I’ve never even once come close to breaking his trust and he’s done me wrong a few times(nothing like cheating or anything) and I still had faith in him,so it isn’t unreasonable to expect the same back esp when I’ve never given him a reason to ever doubt me. At that point he let his insecurity take over him and I feel I shouldn’t need to prove myself at every point (I’ve never had to,ever) because of his personal insecurities. He told me it’s also because sometimes he feels like he’s being played because I don’t put in as much effort (for eg he gets me flowers every meet and chocolates and orders me food randomly and I don’t do any of this) so it feels very one sided (we’ve just been seeing each other 3 months) so I told him it’s because he’s done me wrong before that I’m apprehensive of putting in efforts to spoil the other person and that since he told me this a few days prior to this altercation I’ve been working on that as well. Obviously I called it quits then and there after giving him my phone because he was extremely anxious and I just wanted to stabilise his mental state. I agree the way I acted was v sus but does that warrant such an outcome? Advice is appreciated! TIA xx

2024.05.20 08:33 private_throwaway_77 I (28M) lashed out at my former roommate (26M). How do I proceed with my feelings?
TL;DR: Lashed out at my former roommate because I was sick of all the mental games happening in our living situation, also probably projected some other stress into him and I’m unsure if I should apologies or just move on?
So I (28M) lived in a small rented house with 2 other people (26m and 26m). I was working for a company that needed someone to work at that branch, and after working there for 2 months, I met my (then) future roommate (let’s call him Adam). The company asked me to relocate there permanently and I decided I wanted to move there and Adam offered to let me stay with him.
I moved into this place with Adam and his childhood friend Kevin. It was clear early on that they treated it like THEIR place and I was just also living there. To make this post short, let’s just say, I kept to myself, didn’t complain, but Kevin “didn’t like my vibe”, I couldn’t put anything in the shared spaces, and I was only ever Adam’s friend when he was mad at Kevin. Never invited to hang out, and they would ditch pre-established plans with me to hang with themselves. Whatever.
Eventually I got laid off, had some close relatives pass and had to help with expenses, couldn’t get a job for over a year, and got into debt. Still paid everything on time tho. But I eventually asked the housing company if I could sign over my lease to a new person, they were super cool about. Kevin and Adam were pissed.
I told them I wanted out in 2 months (May) but was willing to wait until they felt comfortable living with someone they liked provided it didn’t take like 6 months. They argued that they needed 5 months minimum.
2 weeks later, I get a great job, told them I could stay or go if they wanted. They said I could stay. 2 weeks after that, Kevin’s family friend needed a new place to move to asap. They told me I needed to move out in May since I wanted to move out in May. I told them no, I wasn’t planning for that, but they were insistent and I didn’t really want to live there anymore anyway. So their family friend lived rent free in the living room. I tried to find a place of my own but everything fell through last minute. I decided I had to move back home for a bit. I didn’t want to leave my new job on a bad note so I put in my 2 weeks extremely close to my move out date.
I foolishly tried to juggle all of these and spent the entire last day moving into a storage unit and crashing on a friends couch. However, my last day was a Sunday, and I stupidly didn’t anticipate the storage place closing so early. I asked the family friend if I could finish up moving in the morning, and he seemed to not care as long as he could move in later in the afternoon.
Cut to midnight, Adam keeps texting me why I still hadn’t moved out, I explained the situation. He said he didn’t care, they had an agreement and contract (the new lease) and that I needed to pay for an extra day. I paid the extra day and went back to cleaning out my room. Then I realized. I have been doing everything these guys were asking me to do. Trying to swallow my pride to not cause conflicts. And now this? Fuck that. I sent him a ton of angry texts about how stupid and immature this is and how dumb he was being and over baring even though the family friend was cool with the situation.
He gave me the cold shoulder through text and I moved out the next day. I took my sweet time, but the room was empty before the family friend needed it. I haven’t seen spoken to them since. However I feel disappointed in myself for handling the situation in such an untactful way and definitely feel like I was way too mean and projected other stress onto him over text. I never really stand up for myself so this is new for me. Should I apologize for my behavior (not that I want to be his friend again, but just for my childish outburst) or just move on? We have a lot of mutual friend groups too so I don’t want them all to hate me whenever I move back.

2024.05.20 08:29 Greedy-Ad5851 forgiving your abusers (kind of vent)
tw: csa, neglect, emotional and physical abuse
whether you choose to or not is your decision, and most people have been through more severe situations than i have so i completely understand why the majority of people go no-contact. this is just my personal experience not advice or a discussion or anything. me, i have a pretty textbook recipe for cptsd: bpd/ocd teen mom and schizophrenic/depressive/npd teen dad. yes they have been professionally diagnosed with all of these things. when i was 3 i told everyone my dad sexually abused me and understandably my dad flipped out so i backtracked and said it was a joke. i have no idea what he did because my mom never witnessed anything and my dad refuses to talk about it without going into a rage and blaming me for my family's divorce and him losing all of his friends. ive been hypersexual since i was about a year old also so i have my suspicions about him either way. my mom got on drugs shortly after the divorce to work 2 jobs in a town about an hour over, so you can imagine i didnt see her much for my childhood-- i only had her mugshot after a police chase and picking her up after she crashed a car because she fell asleep driving to go by for a good 5-7 years. i hated her when she left. i was dead convinced she was a drug addict and a deadbeat because i didnt understand she was doing it for her kids. i lived with my grandparents during that time and they were neglectful as all get out and didn't even care if me and my sibling showered, brushed our teeth, slept at a reasonable time, or even went to school. my mom cared because she would be the one going to jail if we were truants. i was an anxious little kid and told everyone i had the stomach bug instead of going to school but i faked sick too long and my mom would come over in the mornings to drag me by my hair and beat my ass. which just made me more anxious and unwilling to go to school, or go out in public for that matter. probably the worst of my childhood boiled down to when i was 10 and my mom always shit talked my appearance and said i never took care of myself and got fat so she went to buy me new clothes. i was too anxious to even set foot out of the car and kept nervously brushing my hair to self soothe (thought i looked ugly but in retrospect girl u were fidgeting) until she took the brush out of my hand and whacked me on the head with it which caused a whole situation and her fighting to get me out of the car while i was crying. she called the cops and i just so happened to get some douche who got off to scaring the shit out of kids, because he handcuffed me for no reason just to lecture me and tell me to listen to my mom or i'd get sent to "adult prison." fun experience i guess. anyway the rest of my childhood and adolescence was my mom berating me for the smallest things and expecting me to act like a little adult and work and tend to the house AND also somehow have straight As in school, have friends, extracurriculars, and hobbies, but she's not going to financially support any of those hobbies or actually set into motion for me to hang out with friends. the few times i ever hung out with people i went to THEIR house and THEIR parents had to chaperone me around, and my family was just not involved to the point my friends wondered if i even had a mom. not even going to mention the transphobia i faced from my mom, but she took my binder that i bought with my own money and donated it to some rural christian thrift store... even thought itd be hilarious to mention the fact that theyd probably throw it out not even knowing what it was (this is long and melodramatic)
and yet... i still love my family. maybe feel obligated to, even. maybe my dad molested me and if so he's fucking disgusting for it. i don't know why you'd ever touch a baby. i don't know why he'd even have a motive to do so. he didn't really have a motive to cheat on my mom and fight her in front of me as a baby and steal her savings and drive out of state with no notice either. now he's just sad and suicidal and has been for over a decade and he's still hung up over the family he destroyed and apologizes to me anytime he sees me. to me, he's gotten his just desserts: he's a late 30s stoner who still lives with his parents and is still mad at his ex wife a decade later. i will never be close to him for abusing my mom but i genuinely forgive him for what he may have done to me and also the things he actually did to me, like calling me a slut and making me change my clothes and not wear makeup around him and telling me, his 8 year old daughter at the time, that women should be barefoot and pregnant and are also evil cheating jezebels. he still does it occasionally but his words hold no power over me and i think he realizes that so he's become more tolerant and agreeable. my mom basically destroyed any chance of me not fearing intimacy or anything short of perfection or being myself but sometimes she gets drunk and just sobs and hugs me and tells me she's sorry she couldn't do better and i wish she could have at the time when it kind of mattered substantially more to my development, but im proud of how far she's come and that she's trying to be less strict and cruel to toughen me up and make me appear relatively functional and normal, the things she couldn't be at the time. this lowkey turned me into a functional addict and gave me a really bad habit of dissociating and not listening to my needs later in life but its chillin.
after ALL of this forgiving my family for essentially giving me a shit hand at life is pretty rough. but its ultimately helped with my hypervigilance and i dont immediately read everyone's actions as if they are judging me or see me as a burden-- it just takes substantially less than the average person for me to feel that way! maybe i have not healed at all in my behaviors and still act like a sad, scared angry little kid. but i feel less wary of them at the least, and its nice for now.

2024.05.20 08:29 Arroyosbaby Please pray for me and my family.
So this is gonna be long. My fiancee and me started dating back in January. There was some red flags early on, but I kept on hope. He is a biker and has never given me a ride in his bike. Every time we went out, he never spent money on me. I was always the one paying and driving. I asked him why is that and he said because he has too much on his plate, bills, 2 mortgages, taxes..etc..I told him I was getting annoyed by it but I understood his reasons. Then his son (who I see as my own) got sick he almost died. He had to stop working to be with the baby. So he kept asking me for money to cover his bills. I got so mad I told him, I can't help $$ but I can help in other ways and he got mad at me. I lend him the $ and he apologized for being so mean to me. After our baby was released, he paid me back all the money by paying for my car windows (my car had gotten broken into a month prior) and then it all started again, but now he does pay here and there for things. He protects me when we're out. He always has me take my car when we go out. One day last month, he showed up to work with a lot of hickeys that I gave him. He got in trouble there. So he got buzzed and while he was in my car, I found out he was cheating. He called his other gf and I heard the entire conversation. She was so mad at him saying she wants nothing with him, calling him a pos. He kept saying to her he didn't lie to her. So I asked who's that and he said that's his ex wife. Me: why are you talking to her about something that happened over 4 years ago, like yr trying to convince her? And why did she say there's no more us? So he went to her job and I didn't know. I called him and their friend answered, we were talking and he hangs up. Then I call again a few hrs later, his gf answered and we talk for almost 2 minutes, then he hangs up. So I asked him why the lies, the cheating and he keeps saying he didn't cheat on me. So I asked him then why didn't you let us talk when she answered your phone? Why did you tell her I was your mom? He has no answer to my ?s. So now every time we hang out, he hangs on to his phone for dear life. And when his phone rings with a certain ring tone, he steps away from me and starts talking to whoever he has under it, I'm assuming it's her. He has introduced me to many of his friends, has takes me to one of his and his friends hangout spots, he took me to his house the week we started dating, plans to introduce me to his family. And he also has stated many times that cheating is frowned upon in his family. He's told me he loves me and has thanked me many times for helping him out. He told me his family thanks me for being there. When I met him, he didn't follow Jesus, now he does. He has a great relationship with God. I started my walk with God 4 years ago and still struggling to follow him. I know that when ppl get closer to Jesus, is when the ugly dude attacks the worst, and so I pray daily that the enemy leaves our lives in Jesus name. He has gotten really sick 2 times in the last 4 months, the first was because he wasn't getting enough sleep, and this last time because he has the norovirus that he's getting rid of at home. He has to live alone because it's contagious. I bought him food but he dsn't want me there because his best friend takes him food so he says. I have it all in my car. He is suppose to go back to the military in 2 weeks and I was suppose to go last week again, but there was a discrepancy in my case so now I have to wait who knows how long. I ask you, please pray deeply and faithfully in Jesus name, for my little family. My fiancee Richard Sanchez, my son Jr. And me, that we make it thru all these trials, and that we come thru successfully. TIA.

2024.05.20 08:28 Relative_Voice_6909 job suggested i take a few months unpaid leave, then let me go a couple months in
I had a string of freak traumatic events happen mid-last year and my boss suggested I take some months off work to process everything. We decided 6 months was a good amount of time, and I was set to start my leave in July 2023 and return to work January 2024. However, in October 2023, my boss messaged me and said the team at work no longer thought I was a good fit for the company, and he doesn't think I'll have a spot to return to when my leave was over. I begged him to help me work something out with the company, but to no avail. They wouldn't let me return to work.
Fast forward to May 2024, my work sends me a backdated termination agreement letter they need me to sign, even though my contract is set to expire in April. The reason for termination says "Due to extended absence from work" (my lawyer is confused as to why they would send this when my contract is set to expire anyways)... But they were the ones who set me up with the leave of absence, and wouldn't let me come back to work when it was supposed to be over.... They also didn't mention until this week that I have to pay back health insurance money? I didn't sign any kind of anything when my leave started. I don't know enough about the labor laws here, but it all feels like total bs and I don't know what to do, my visa expires on May 22 and i haven't been able to find another job yet....
edit: regarding reasons for being let go, my boss said the CEO was unhappy with how he saw me at an event days after i had a traumatic incident (i wanted to see my coworkers and let everyone know i was okay), and then when i accepted a dj booking in Texas a couple months later (it was a free flight home, was pretty broke after paying final expenses for 2 people so it was a blessing) and he said these incidents contributed to the CEO not wanting me to work there anymore but i'm pretty sure they can't legally fire me for this stuff so that's why they're going sketchy mode with everything??
I'm talking to a lawyer but even he's confused, it's all so confusing, does anyone have experience with this kind of situation?

2024.05.20 08:27 KingRodGod Tales from MY game shop. Plz read this ReddX!
I have owned a game shop for 10 years now. I see neck beard types. I see leg beard types. I see incels. The whole rainbow of cringe is often in my very shop. They play their games. Stink up the joint. Above all else though they got on my ever loving nerves I swear.
I bought the shop back in 2013ish after my grandfather died. He left me some decent money, which is about all the good he ever did. Cranky old man stuck around far too long and was a drain on myself. My parents saddled me with caring for him. My only escape from that bitter old man was the game shop. I would go and play war games and yugioh. Around 2011 I was banned from the store for chronically selling yugioh cards in the shop. Something the crotchety land whale that owned the shop did not like. So he banned me. When my grandfather finally died he afforded me the opportunity to lift my ban by purchasing the shop at a high markup. I may have overpaid, but it was worth it to get back my home away from home and to ban that landwhale from his own shop.
Once I took over. I learnt that I wouldn’t be able to participate in games as much unless I wanted to hire employees. Which I did not. I don’t really understand the taxes and had no interest in paying extra to employ people. So I basically ran it all myself for a damn long time. It was fun at first. But I realized I actually hated my customers. I hated games. I hated these goblins that occupied my shop for events and game nights. That’s how you make money though. Stupid events for stupid little neckbeards.
So I am gonna tell you about some choice individuals. I like to call them The Party. Four human shaped food holes that were far too loud. When I was young, back in the 80’s dungeons and dragons wasn’t fun. It was a game to be won. I dont know what happened. Maybe it was all them critical role streamers that ruined it. At some point neck beards gravitated to dungeons and dragons as a form of fun. As a way to make jokes. They basically ruined the game. I hate that they ruined a great war game and turned it into nothing but jokes. Us older nerds get not a drop of respect as these youngins trample over our great games.
The party consisted of two manlet weirdos. Dressed in what looked to be homemade wizard robes. A tall thin man dressed in an outfit that would be seen on frank sinatra. And the loudest legbeard landwhale I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. They would come in on open play nights and occupy the back room where the warhammer gamers played. Their volume was completely unacceptable. I had asked them politely several times to keep it down. I had received several complaints from the warhammer players as well. It was not uncommon for the war gamers and The Party to start arguing. Which was always a sight to behold. 90 percent of the time I didn’t intervene hoping one of The Party might get their teeth knocked out. It never got to that point. Despite all the wishing in my heart.
Still I tolerated them for the most part. They bought plenty of snacks. Overpriced soda cans and over priced chips are good money in this line of business. Cleaning up after them was a pain. Cheeto smeared tables and chairs are not fun to clean. I remember once asking them to clean up after themselves. They just stared at me with blank dead fish eyes before talking about the hot dog man. The hotdog man being some sort of inside joke. They found it hilarious. It was some recurring npc in their campaigns that did “wacky” hijinks or something. They tried to explain it to anyone who would listen. Anytime someone else would laugh at their stupid joke I wanted to just close up shop.
Then I started fucking with them. I’d shake up cans of soda they bought. I’d “accidentally” bump into their table while moving inventory. This would cause their set up and dice to spill all over. I’d sell them microwaved dice sets “at a discount” and laugh with joy as they consistently rolled nat 1’s. I actually had quite a bit of fun coming up with new ways to inconvenience them. Damaging their favorite table, replacing the chairs at that table with uneven ones. One time I spilled a cup of hot chocolate on the one dressed like frank sinatra.
They eventually started blaming their new streak of misfortune on the hotdog man. That fucking stupid inside joke about the hotdog man had grown to encompass their real life misfortune. These beardy fucks had completely disassociated from reality apparently. It wasn’t long after this began in the shop that it spread. Any little thing that went wrong in the shop others started blaming on the hot dog man! Bad game of yugioh…hot dog man. Shit your pants? HOT DOG MAN! Dog got hit by a car! HOT DOG MAN! It permeated and spread because these little beards never shut up about their stupid inside joke.
I could not tolerate it any longer. As a game shop owner I am the god of these halls and I would not take this beardery. NAY! I didn’t clean my grandads colostomy bag for 8 years to have my castle ruined by the fucking HOT DOG MAN! No these nerds hard to go. I had to hatch a scheme to get them out of the shop.
It was actually relatively easy to come up with a scheme. I knew the fat leg beard was dating the tall “well dressed” kid. But, I also knew she was a bit of a cheater. They had many arguments about her cheating on him. Why such a beast would be able to get so many men interested in her I have no idea. But i knew she had her eyes on one of the seedier warhammer players in the store. He wasn’t a good guy, actually a bit of an alcoholic who hung around because this was all he had left. So I struck a deal, I offered him a hefty amount of figurines for his army in return for “seducing” the land whale. A task he was actually excited about.
Over the next couple weeks I watched as the alcoholic man inserted himself into The Party. I watched as he got closer to the girl, I saw the “well dressed” beard grow more and more insecure. Going outside in a huff more often. The leg beard and her boyfriend arguing loudly in front of the store a few times.Then on the third week during an open play night only the land whale leg beard appeared, crying as she clung to the alcoholic war gamer and complained about her boyfriend. The crying was only slightly less annoying than hearing about the hotdog man. I tried to tune it out by doing some stocking of new inventory for the upcoming yugioh release. I eventually noticed a distinct lack of belly aching. I looked over to the side room, and saw that the alcoholic and legbeard were actively making out on a table. Disgusted I made sure the cameras were recording in the side room.
The world was at peace again. The Party would soon be destroyed thanks to some well deployed miniatures in the right desperate losers hands. Simple as can be. Soon my store would be free of the hot dog man plague. This is why you should never mess with a wealthy man we are wealthy because we are wise. My store is one of the best in this town and it is because of my wisdom. No one else can compete with me because I am too good to be doing this.
As I stocked the cabinet with new singles I had recently bought from someone clearly desperate for drug money I found myself very pleased with myself. I sang as I organized my new acquisitions. Then sneaking a peak at the camera I noticed a distinct absence of the obese legbeard and the war gaming alcoholic. I tried to locate them by walking back there, only to hear the sounds of unholy degenerate acts in the bathroom. I found myself amazed by their lack of shame and more so how easy the land whale was. I guess it’s true what they say “fat chicks will do anything”. I contemplated breaking it up. Then I thought it might be really funny if she got pregnant and the frank sinatra wannabe had to raise a cuck baby. So I allowed it to continue. They left together sometime later.
I went ahead and did a little facebook stalking, as frank sinatra and the land whale were both on on my stores facebook page. Two days later they were broken up and the land whale was dating and apparently living with the alcoholic wargamer. Now I still have to deal with her, but the rest of The Party is distinctly absent.
I posted the video from the security cameras on the facebook page on valentines day that year and tagged the frank sinatra wannabe, deleting it after he left some angry comment under it. Just one more jab at his stupid broken heart. That’s what he deserves for being a cringe neckbeard with his stupid inside jokes.
Now the legbeard and alcoholic play wargames on open play nights at the shop and she’s much quieter. The legacy of the hotdog man died shortly after. I do now have to occasionally observe as the land whale and alcoholic wargamer swap spit on a table. I’ve had to make a sign for the bathroom door that say “please do not fuck in here” and when that didn’t work yell at the both of them. Saying something along the lines of “THIS IS NOT A MOTEL!” but even with that inconvenience, it is still preferable to those beards and their stupid inside joke. I will take cringe bathroom sex over the hot dog man any day.
I am just happy that I met my wife in Mexico. If you have money and a passport, get yourself a Mexican wife. They are much less insane than your average american woman. Also they are very grateful to be here. So that pays dividends in the end. Plus you have someone who can talk to the repair men in their native language around here. Wish I would have known she was infertile beforehand. On the brightside though no condoms. So its not all bad. There are no any beards in Mexico my friends.
If you read this ReddX thanks I’ve been a big fan of the channel for a long time and have wanted to write a story. I just haven’t had the time as I am a very busy and important man. But I can tell we’re like kindred souls. You’re gonna love reading all my installments because were bouth great men of substance and the world. It is time I aired out all these beards. So you’re welcome for contributing to your collection of stories. I truly am a generous king.

2024.05.20 08:27 ohioisdumb Confused about speeding ticket in Ohio [OH]
I got a speeding ticket the other day in beautiful Ohio for going 65 on the freeway in a construction zone. The normal speed limit is 65 but it was 50 in the construction zone, traffic was light and I was just following everyone else but just as I exited the construction zone there was a cop and he pulled me over. It's whatever, I was technically speeding (so was everyone else) but I was the out of state car so he targeted me.
Firstly the cop lied, said there were workers present when no workers were there, it was hot as hell and a weekend, maybe there was a worker somewhere but I did not pass a single one on the stretch of road I was one. Secondly, the cop never asked for my insurance or registration, just my license. I find that odd, but maybe it's all electronic or something and he didn't want to bother with it. Third, when he gave me the ticket he said he gave me a break on the ticket for there being workers there which would double my fine, I think he just made it up to take it away and make it seem like he was giving me a break. Lastly he told me I could either visit this website and pay my ticket or show up to court on a x day and contest the ticket.
My question and problem is that one the ticket contains no information about fine, points or anything like that. I don't make a habit of getting tickets but the only time I've had one before, in my home state, all that info was on the ticket, including the law that was broken. And the other thing is I went to the website he told me to and nothing is there for my ticket. I used both my name and dl number and nothing showed up. Does this mean I have to show up in court? It's like 3 hours from my house so it would be rather inconvenient and cop said it wasn't required. If I do show up can they add on the worker part of the ticket there? I am confident there was non there but I didn't have my dash cam in my car at the time so I can't prove it.
Lastly, if this does include points is there any way to get the points reduce without fighting the ticket it court? I don't really want to fight, I mean technically I was speeding so it's not like I have a leg to stand on. In Michigan the orange barrels just mean you go the normal speed limit instead of the faster speed everyone normally drives but different states have different rules and I broke them. I feel like 15 over usually means points and I really can't afford them right now and feel like there is a pretty big difference between going 65 on a freeway and going 50 on a city street. Also this was in the middle of no where Ohio and it seems the ticket was given by the county despite it being a state police highway patrol officer that pulled me over. Don't know if that makes my chances worse or better.

Plus, the variety of designs available means there's something for everyone - I found one that truly complements my style. Lastly, the affordable price point is a great advantage for those on a budget, like myself. Of course, no product is perfect, and I did encounter a minor issue with the holster being a bit uncomfortable during the break-in period. However, it's nothing a little patience and persistence can't fix. Overall, I'm thoroughly satisfied with the Guardian Black Vault (OWB) Holster from Versacarry, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile and affordable option for their handguns. 🔗Vedder Holsters - Premium Sig Sauer P365 X-MACRO Holster for Optimal Concealment and Comforthttps://preview.redd.it/gas11s8txi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e05be6a193aed69cf902639f04f4e8fde82b40e7 As a responsible gun owner, I was always on the lookout for the perfect holster that would provide me with the ultimate security and convenience. Recently, I had the pleasure of trying out the Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro w/out Thumb Safety OWB Holster Prodraw by Vedder Holsters. One of the first things I noticed about this holster was its customization. Each holster is crafted with precision to fit your gun perfectly, allowing for a snug fit that provides security without limiting your movement. The audible click when securing my gun in the holster was a nice touch, providing reassurance that my firearm was safely in its place. The convenience factor of this holster is excellent, with an adjustable retention feature that allows you to decide how secure you want your holster to be. The paddle design makes it easy to put on and take off, without the need to undo your belt. The minimal bulk and weight make it ideal for everyday carry. The quality of the holster is evident, with reinforced shells that ensure a convenient one-handed re-holstering experience, perfect for range days. This holster offers the perfect blend of lightweight, sturdy, and secure, perfect for both concealed and open carry situations. Although I couldn't find any major drawbacks during my experience, it's always essential to note potential cons for the readers. However, based on the holster's outstanding performance and benefits, I would highly recommend the Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro w/out Thumb Safety OWB Holster Prodraw by Vedder Holsters to anyone in search of the ultimate paddle holster. 🔗Vedder Holsters Charter Arms Holster Claw Add-On Kithttps://preview.redd.it/l6k1a2ntxi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=efddac673fa38cd3ea31a205aa12d0de4c02160f Recently, I got my hands on the Vedder Holsters Holster Claw Add-On Kit. Now, I've always appreciated the minimalist yet functional design of Vedder holsters, but with this new addition, I have to say, it's been a game-changer for my daily carry. One of the standout features of this kit is the ease of installation. It's simple, and once it's in place, you can truly feel the difference it makes in concealing your firearm. The claw really does its job, pushing the grip closer to your body, a huge plus for those of us who like to stay concealed. However, it's not all sunshine and roses. The one-screw attachment for the claw can be a bit frustrating. It's tough to find that perfect balance of retention and ease of draw. I had to loosen it just a bit to make it work smoothly, but it still leaves a bit of play that I'd prefer weren't there. Overall, the Holster Claw Add-On Kit is a solid addition to the Vedder Holsters roster. It adds a level of function and style that has quickly become a staple for my daily carry. Despite the odd hiccup or two, the pros of this product far outweigh the cons. 🔗Vedder Holsters Charter Arms Holster Claw Add-On Kithttps://preview.redd.it/cvjosu5uxi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=986a098a004c818d195f2b7b88395259b75521ac I've been using the Vedder Holster Claw Add-On Kit for a while now, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer for my everyday carry. With three claws in hand, I was excited to see how they would enhance my experience with my Vedder Lighttuck holsters. The claw system, once properly installed, does an amazing job of pushing the handle of my firearms closer to my body, minimizing the printing, especially for my smaller firearms like a Kahr CW380. One aspect that could have used some improvement is the lack of a second screw for a more secure attachment, making it difficult to maintain a tight enough grip on my pistol without hindering the draw. Additionally, compatibility with smaller revolvers or light-bearing holsters may not always be consistent, as evident by some of the other reviews I've come across. Despite these minor cons, I'm pleased with my purchase, and the Vedder Holster Claw Add-On Kit has made my concealed-carry experience even smoother and more comfortable. 🔗Ultimate ComfortTac Belly Band Holster for Quickdraw Access and Concealmenthttps://preview.redd.it/7kaf2e6uxi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=244b94d9ab559d87673f484ede77705edda877e7 As a reviewer, I've had the chance to try out the ComfortTac Belly Band Holster in my daily life, and I must say, it's been a game-changer. The holster is designed for deep concealment, and its quickdraw access system allows me to draw my weapon in one smooth motion. The retention strap with the deep concealment buckle is a standout feature that ensures my gun stays secure in its place. One of the things I appreciate most about this holster is its versatility. It fits a variety of gun sizes, making it perfect for those who own multiple firearms. The holster is also versatile enough to be worn in most positions, which means I can use it both under and over clothing. The perforated holes promote less sweating, and the stretchy elastic adjusts to any body type, making it comfortable to wear for extended periods. However, there are a couple of cons I've encountered while using this holster. The built-in pocket is a great feature, but it could be more secure and prevent accidental exposure. Additionally, the removable magazine pouch is handy for quick access to spare rounds, but it can be a bit difficult to use with larger caliber magazines. Overall, the ComfortTac Belly Band Holster is an excellent option for those seeking a comfortable, versatile, and secure way to carry their firearms. With its deep concealment, quickdraw access, and custom fit options, it's no wonder why it's a top-selling holster on the market. 🔗Small of Back Holster for Concealed Carryhttps://preview.redd.it/ncdf49luxi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54c45e5ac7ecaaea62ddce760a8ffc935527341d As a fellow gun enthusiast, I've been in search of the perfect concealed carry holster for quite some time. That is until I stumbled upon the Palm Out Draw Small of Back Holster by Dara Holsters. This holster is nothing short of a game-changer for all those struggling to find the right one. What stood out to me was the holster's versatility. Despite my body's particular needs, this holster managed to secure my gun in a comfortable position without any hassle. The angle and design of the holster also ensured that the grip was always in reach and the trigger safely covered. It's clear that Dara Holsters put a lot of thought into the positioning of the pistol, making it easier to draw and maintain a balanced stance. However, no product is perfect, and I did find one minor drawback. The clip that holds the holster to my belt was quite stiff, making removing it at the end of the day slightly more difficult. But that doesn't take away from the holster's overall functionality and the fantastic job it does at concealing my weapon. In conclusion, the Palm Out Draw Small of Back Holster by Dara Holsters proved to be an excellent investment. It's not only comfortable and efficient in its job, but its construction also highlights the company's commitment to quality and attention to detail. It may have a bit of a learning curve to get the perfect fit, but once you do, it's smooth sailing. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a dependable concealed carry holster. 🔗High-Quality Belt Holster for Charter Arms Undercover 2" Barhttps://preview.redd.it/gbjmlsavxi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f67eab1727c25668d6639f3f6e72fb0920a4241e I had the pleasure of trying out the Bianchi 111 Cyclone Belt Holster for my Charter Arms Undercover 2?

One of the best features of this holster was its ability to be worn cross-draw style, which I found to be a great option when spending time in the car. However, there was a bit of a downside.

Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend the Charter Arms Custom Kydex Holster for anyone looking for a high-quality, convenient, and stylish way to carry their Charter Arms Undercover 38 Special. 🔗Charter Arms Undercover 38 SPL Revolver Leather OWB Holster - Comfortable and Secure Fithttps://preview.redd.it/3c4b0zkvxi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e81f6054328420d76bc8566fd5422d5909cf075e For the past few weeks, I've been using the Charter Arms Undercover 38 SPL Revolver 2-3 inch Leather OWB Holster in my daily life.

2024.05.20 08:19 Strange_Butterscotch Am I Trapped in this Situation?
So, my car broke down and after many times trying to fix it, my money was very low. So in order to make it to work, I made a mistake and chose to search Carvana. I bought a Chevy Spark EV 2016 with (50,000 miles on it) from Carvana thinking it would hold me over (with little up-keep compared to a gas vehicle) a year or two before I can get a better car.
I drove it just to work and back for 9 months and randomly on my way home it dies. I do more research on how I could fix it, I take it to 2 EV mechanics - need 2 replacement battery coils. I call chevy and they don't make the car or its parts anymore.
Now I'm paying a 12k bill for a car that won't move. But I need a car to get to work and back. Buying a used or new car is going to put me in the red because of this situation. Any option of repo or just simply not paying ruins my credit into not being able to buy a more reliable car.
So I am lost on how I could make my situation any better. How do I get out of this without killing my credit?
I appreciate any advice at this point.

2024.05.20 08:17 rosegoldocean kaplan MCAT book question (using them + which books to start out with)
for this summer, i was planning on starting on studying for the MCAT. i bought the full set of kaplan books for the MCAT. however, i have a few questions about how to get started.
for context, i am a rising junior likely taking the MCAT at the end of my junior year (next may) or over the next summer. this would mean i'm taking one gap year and applying my senior year.
here are my questions:
(a) this summer, i was going to do CARS + psych/soc. + biology OR gen chem. however, i don't know whether to choose biology first or gen chem first. my most recent course was intro bio, so it would be fresh on my mind. but i am taking biochem this fall, so if studying gen chem would be a nice benefit for being prepared for that class, that would be nice. would you recommend i start out with biology or chemistry? or would it be too much to do both?
(b) how should i utilize these books? should i annotate them, write notes in a separate notebook (or ipad), or something else? how can i best use these books? — should i buy uworld (or something else) to supplement these books, or should i wait until im studying all sections of the books?
any advice is greatly appreciated. thank you so much!

2024.05.20 08:12 Ill-Goose79 AITA for wanting to focus on myself?
I (23f) am going through many changes in life recently and all of these things have occurred over the last month and a half. To say I’m drained is an understatement. (Sorry in advance, this post is going to be a little lengthy.)
For example, my father had two strokes at the start of this year, which destroyed me (even though my father and I are not very close), & I am currently seven months pregnant with my second child. This pregnancy has also been VERY tough compared to my first, so I’m really trying to push through as best I can. I have severe pain in my lower back and pelvis, which make it excruciating to do anything. This wasn’t something that happened during my first pregnancy either, so I’m trying to take it easy as humanly possible. On top of that, I’m still fighting postpartum depression and it’s kicking my butt. However, there are two other major life events I’ve faced on top of this that are absolutely killing me lately.
The first event is me going back to work. I will only be working until I give birth again, but it’s very taxing on my body and my mental health. It may sound silly, but I have been a stay at home mom for the last 7-8 months to my firstborn child. I absolutely adore this new role with my whole heart, it brings me so much joy. I just didn’t have the intention of going back to work any time soon, so this change caught me off guard. After not working for such a long period of time, it’s become very difficult for me to go back for a few reasons. It means having to leave my 9 month old baby during prolonged amounts of time, and I’m not used to that yet. It’s made my heart sad to do it, but we’re in a financial crunch in my household, so going back to work was the only suitable option to help take care of bills with my partner. While this change is only temporary, I’m still having a tough time trying to adjust to it. It also means getting used to my line of work again (I cook in a restaurant), the peaks of busy hours, being on my feet for hours at a time, etc. Working in such a demanding industry is hard when you’re pregnant, and that’s something I’m trying to get used to again too. For some background info, I worked through the entirety of my first pregnancy and it wasn’t easy the first time either.
The other major life change I’m dealing with is that I’ve lost my sister (27f) in a horrific car accident last month. I’m very numb to this whole situation, and I’m in shock. My mom and I are the only two people in our family who have taken charge to give her a proper funeral too. As you could imagine, it’s a TON of stress for just two people to handle. From starting a campaign to raise money to pay for the funeral costs, to writing her obituary, I’ve been working my ass off trying to make sure this goes as smoothly as possible. I love my sister dearly, and I’m honored to have such a big role in this. However, it’s becoming much harder each day. Our mom is putting a ton of pressure on me by giving me handfuls of tasks while she handles the smaller responsibilities in all of this. I’ve launched the campaign for expenses, I am writing the obituary, I’ve picked out a guest list, made a social media page for guests to RSVP to the service, collected photos, gathered a location for her celebration of life, and I’ve also gone to several meetings at the funeral home to discuss details of the service as well on top of a few other things too. I’m doing all of this while trying to be a happy mother, go to work, being pregnant, and trying to handle my own life stresses. I manage money in my household, so I budget everything. I do the shopping, cleaning, etc. Not to mention, I’ve been playing the part of a support system to my mother and my sisters father during this time. On my days off from work, I’m not relaxing or taking it easy as I should be. I’m taking care of my child while my partner is working, I’m also juggling the funeral responsibilities, and trying to figure out how to keep my household afloat. I barely have had time to take care of myself and I’m drowning.
Here’s where the issue comes into play. My mom wants me to do a handful more things for the service, as it’s approaching at the end of the month. I just don’t have the heart to tell her that I’m exhausted and would prefer her to do it. I didn’t sign up for all of these responsibilities either, it was just given to me when all of this happened. I didn’t say no originally either because it’s my sister, you know? I love her and want her to have a proper send off, I am just so overwhelmed at this point.. My mom has only handled the songs she would like to hear at the service, sending in the photos I’ve gathered, and attending meetings with the funeral home. I’ve done literally everything else. Now, she wants me to do more. My mother doesn’t work, she stays at home a majority of the time. She babysits my son for two days out of the week for two hours max while I’m at work. She has the time to do all of the extra things, whereas I do not. I just want to focus on my own mental well being and my at home life right now. My days off from work have been filled with all of life’s problems and struggles, and they don’t rest on the days that I do work either. I haven’t even really begun to process the loss of my sister. I think about her, but it hasn’t even really hit me yet.. I haven’t had a day to myself to think or even do my laundry.. I’m just so exhausted of life. AITA for wanting her to handle the last bit of responsibilities so I can take a step back and focus on myself and my home life before the funeral?😞

For example, my father had two strokes at the start of this year, which destroyed me (even though my father and I are not very close), & I am currently seven months pregnant with my second child. This pregnancy has also been VERY tough compared to my first, so I’m really trying to push through as best I can. I have severe pain in my lower back and pelvis, which make it excruciating to do anything. This wasn’t something that happened during my first pregnancy either, so I’m trying to take it easy as humanly possible. On top of that, I’m still fighting postpartum depression and it’s kicking my butt. However, there are two other major life events I’ve faced on top of this that are absolutely killing me lately.
The first event is me going back to work. I will only be working until I give birth again, but it’s very taxing on my body and my mental health. It may sound silly, but I have been a stay at home mom for the last 7-8 months to my firstborn child. I absolutely adore this new role with my whole heart, it brings me so much joy. I just didn’t have the intention of going back to work any time soon, so this change caught me off guard. After not working for such a long period of time, it’s become very difficult for me to go back for a few reasons. It means having to leave my 9 month old baby during prolonged amounts of time, and I’m not used to that yet. It’s made my heart sad to do it, but we’re in a financial crunch in my household, so going back to work was the only suitable option to help take care of bills with my partner. While this change is only temporary, I’m still having a tough time trying to adjust to it. It also means getting used to my line of work again (I cook in a restaurant), the peaks of busy hours, being on my feet for hours at a time, etc. Working in such a demanding industry is hard when you’re pregnant, and that’s something I’m trying to get used to again too. For some background info, I worked through the entirety of my first pregnancy and it wasn’t easy the first time either.
The other major life change I’m dealing with is that I’ve lost my sister (27f) in a horrific car accident last month. I’m very numb to this whole situation, and I’m in shock. My mom and I are the only two people in our family who have taken charge to give her a proper funeral too. As you could imagine, it’s a TON of stress for just two people to handle. From starting a campaign to raise money to pay for the funeral costs, to writing her obituary, I’ve been working my ass off trying to make sure this goes as smoothly as possible. I love my sister dearly, and I’m honored to have such a big role in this. However, it’s becoming much harder each day. Our mom is putting a ton of pressure on me by giving me handfuls of tasks while she handles the smaller responsibilities in all of this. I’ve launched the campaign for expenses, I am writing the obituary, I’ve picked out a guest list, made a social media page for guests to RSVP to the service, collected photos, gathered a location for her celebration of life, and I’ve also gone to several meetings at the funeral home to discuss details of the service as well on top of a few other things too. I’m doing all of this while trying to be a happy mother, go to work, being pregnant, and trying to handle my own life stresses. I manage money in my household, so I budget everything. I do the shopping, cleaning, etc. Not to mention, I’ve been playing the part of a support system to my mother and my sisters father during this time. On my days off from work, I’m not relaxing or taking it easy as I should be. I’m taking care of my child while my partner is working, I’m also juggling the funeral responsibilities, and trying to figure out how to keep my household afloat. I barely have had time to take care of myself and I’m drowning.

2024.05.20 08:08 FancyInitiative9490 feeling unappreciated and like a burden to my bf
tl;dr: i’ve done everything to support my bf financially + emotionally but it’s too much when i ask him to take me on dates/buy me flowers
my bf (27m) and i (23F) have been together for a year officially but we do have a long history before that
i’ve gone above and beyond for him. just to name a few things, my family owns a second home and we live here together but i don’t make him pay rent or even utilities. he went thru a very rough patch and wasn’t able to support himself financially so i completely supported him, even letting him keep my cards. during this time, i helped put a down payment to lease a car which i still pay around $400 for each month as well as insurance. and its not your basic car either, its a luxury brand and a 2018 model that he chose out. it’s not just necessities either, i buy him a lot of things that i know make him happy like car parts, even if they’re just for aesthetics
over the past few weeks, i’ve asked him very nicely to consider planning more dates or even just getting me flowers and being genuine about spending time with me. when i ask for these things, he immediately becomes defensive stating that he already told me he’s not romantic or that he feels bad taking me on a date if he can’t pay for it. but he has no problem spending thousands on car stuff and having me pay for everything else.
idek what to do anymore and it pains me because i do a lot of things out of love for him so im not asking for anything specific in return but a few small gestures would mean the world to me

2024.05.20 08:05 reddottor2 I had my first panic attack 2 days ago and another one today
This is long so I’m sorry in advance. TLDR at the bottom
I (29m) had my first panic attack on Friday at work and it was the most awful experience ever. It started with heavy breathing, followed by the feeling of my eyes vibrating, then a sort of tunnel vision. I laid down on the ground and had my legs propped up and then I got a tingling feeling around my face that spread to my whole body. Complete numbness and my arms locked at 90 degrees and my wrists and hands flexed to where I couldn’t move them. I had people with me trying to keep me conscious and help talk to me. Then my heavy breaths turned to wheezing and it felt impossible to breathe. My lips were also locked but open so I could only attempt to get words out and it all sounded like grunts. I remember feeling completely conscious of the world around me but just completely paralyzed from movement. All I could do is breathe and stare straight up at the ceiling lights. I felt like my soul was outside of my body and I was dying. After a few minutes the paramedics came and were able to calm me down, I still had my arms locked and hands and wrists, lips were still tight but I was getting feeling back in everything. It was horrid and I never wanted to experience it again.
Then today the same things started to happen, I was able to calm myself down some with my coworkers and had one of them take me home, but in the car ride it happened all over again, I felt a better sense of control so it wasn’t as severe but I’m absolutely terrified of it happening again. The paramedics said initially that there wasn’t anything they could do at the hospital for me and all my symptoms are normal, reading things online seem to say the same thing. But I guess I’m coming here to share my experience and get reassurance from some people that have experienced something like this to ease my mind. I’m completely new to this kind of thing and it scares the living hell out of me. 29 years alive and nothing like this, just for it to happen 2 times in 3 days. Thanks to anyone who is reading it just helps to get it out there I guess
TLDR: I’ve never had a panic attack before and I had my first 2 this week and it’s scaring the life from me

2024.05.20 08:04 submissivekitty2828 PSA: We have far more concrete dates than people let on.
At one point I was thinking about the timeline of FNaF, and decided to write out every concrete date we have. The dates we know for certain are:
submitted by submissivekitty2828 to fivenightsatfreddys [link] [comments]
- Game & Novel Events
- 1983 - Freddy's Opens and the Bite of '83 (Confirmed in the Steel Wool games and the presence of Freddy's characters in the FNaF 4 minigames)
- Monday, October 31st, 1983 - Charlie's death (Confirmed in the novels)
- Wednesday, June 26th, 1985 - MCI (Confirmed in the FNaF 1 newspapers, novels and Fazbear Frights)
- Sunday, November 8th, 1987, through Friday, November 13th, 1987 - FNaF 2 Nights and Phone Calls (Confirmed in the FNaF 2 Paychecks)
- November 8th through November 14th - FNaF 1 Nights and Custom Night (Confirmed in the FNaF 1 Paychecks)
- Novel Only Events
- July of 1985 - Henry Commits Die
- June of 1995 - The Silver Eyes
- October of 1996 - The Twisted Ones
- Post-Easter Sunday of 1997 - The Fourth Closet
- Due to the Spring Bonnie costume being moved in the FNaF 3 Night 5 Phone Call (AKA Phone Guy's 4th call) and Spring Bonnie being used for at least the MCI, we can safely place Phone Guy's FNaF 3 calls from Sunday, June 23rd, 1985, through Thursday, June 27th, 1985. Since Phone Guy brings up the Springlock Failure on Tuesday, this means the Bite of '83 can't have been the springlock failure he mentions on Call 3.
- Since the newspaper clippings in FNaF 1 are after the MCI and appear to be the same front page, this means that not all of them happen on the same day. The "Kids vanish at local pizzeria – bodies not found." page is likely on Thursday, June 27th, 1985, after at least the first two MCI victims have been killed. The "Five children now reported missing. Suspect convicted." page is likely on Friday, June 28th, 1985, after the incident has been more thoroughly investigated. The "Local pizzeria threatened with shutdown over sanitation." page is likely on Saturday, June 29th, 1985, after the bodies have begun to decompose. Notably, the "Local pizzeria said to close by years end." page seems to be well after June of 1985 since the MCI is referred to as "many years ago", so it's unlikely it takes place at the same time as the other three.
- Since both FNaF 1 and FNaF 2 have inconsistencies with it being a "summer" job (FNaF 1 on the Steam Page and FNaF 2 in the Night 1 Phone Call), it's implied that the job listing hasn't been updated since the MCI.
- Phone Guy repeatedly mentions a "previous employee" who took the night shift before we did, who was likely William Afton using a fake name, which means that he had worked from Sunday, October 25th, 1987, through Friday, October 30th, 1987. After this he moves to the dayshift and begins tampering with the animatronics. Since the MCI in the 1985 location happened on a Wednesday, this implies that the DCI also happens on a Wednesday. This, combined with the investigation into Freddy's happening on Night 4 of FNaF 2, implies that the DCI happened on Wednesday, November 11th, 1987.
- Due to the "Freddy Fazbear's is Closing" page seen after Night 6 of FNaF 2 and the Night 7 Guard being a different person, it's likely the Bite of '87 happened on Saturday, November 14th, 1987.
- Since FNaF 2 shows Fazbear Entertainment pays its employees on Thursdays, this means FNaF 1 has to take place in a year where November 12th is a Thursday. As such, the possible dates it could be are 1992, 1998, 2009, and 2015. Since 2009 and 2015 are well after most depictions of the FNaF 1 location and 1998 is after the Security Guard Faz-Fact date of 1988-1993, we can conclude that FNaF 1 has to take place in 1992. To add onto this, a code in the Survival Logbook involving coupons further implies the year 1992 due to calculations involving pricing and inflation. Related to this, Phone Guy is stated to be finishing his last week during the FNaF 1 Phone Calls, and since Mike arrives to take his place immediately after, it's safe to say that the Phone Calls take place from Sunday, November 1st, 1992, through Thursday, November 5th, 1992.
- Due to Phone Guy's Night 1 Phone Call from FNaF 1 playing in the background during FNaF 4 and a number of other similarities, it's safe to say that FNaF 4 takes place during FNaF 1, with Nightmare Night being before just before FNaF 1 Custom Night. The reason for this is that, if Mike is working the Night Shift, he would need to be asleep during the day to make up for it and be ready for his workday.
- Sister Location is stated to take place after a Freddy's location has closed its doors, placing either post-MCI, post-FNaF 2, or post-FNaF 1. However, since HandUnit says the Freddy's that closed was a successful one, it can't be post-FNaF 2 as the location was only open for a few weeks. It also can't be before FNaF 3 because Mike would have no reason to go to Fazbear Frights. Lastly, Elizabeth in the novels dies after Charlie, so her death would have to be before 1987. This implies that the events of the game take place post-FNaF 1, while Elizabeth's death takes place post-MCI and pre-FNaF 2. Notice that earlier when talking about FNaF 2 that I said William didn't work on October 31st, 1987. That is because, given the previous evidence, he was implied to be at the opening of Circus Baby's Pizza World witnessing Elizabeth's death. This event is what leads him to perform the DCI to gain Remnant now that Circus Baby's is out of commission.
- The Immortal and the Restless cutscenes are pretty self-explanatory, taking place after each night of Sister Location. Similarly, the Sister Location cutscenes take place the week after Sister Location. Lastly, the Elizabeth voice lines after each night take place in the week leading up to her death.
- This is where things get a bit controversial. The Silver Eyes takes place over Five Nights (as in the title), and since Charlie is in town for the 10th anniversary of the MCI, this means the book takes place from Monday, June 26th, 1995, through Friday, June 30th, 1995. In the book, we see Charlie springlock William as revenge for his crimes while the other animatronics drag him to the Safe Room. While it isn't 1-1, a similar thing happens in the Follow Me minigames, where on Night 5 all the spirits lead William into the Safe Room and springlock him as revenge for his crimes. Phone Guy also states that "If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath, I’d probably be a bit irritable at night too", which could relate to the predicament William Afton found himself in after Follow Me. This implies that the events of The Silver Eyes happen at the same time as Follow Me in the game continuity, which is why they had to be separated in the first place.
- Relating to the above point, both The Silver Eyes and Sister Location take place over the course of 5 nights and both involve the older brother of one of the dead children being trapped in a Springlock Suit on Night 4. Similarly, both Follow Me and Sister Location end with a man identified by a purple sprite being killed by the victims of the MCI (or maybe DCI for Sister Location). This implies that Sister Location and Follow Me also happen at the same time, and the reason Mike couldn't find his father was because he was springlocked in the back room at Freddy's.
- Since FNaF 3 is stated to be 30 years after a Freddy's location closed its doors, this means that it is in either 2015, 2017, or 2022. Since the game is released in 2015 and the Survival Logbook's previous coupon code matches that date if adjusted for inflation, FNaF 3 takes place in 2015. Due to the date of the MCI already being mentioned and work weeks in the games usually starting on Sunday, this means FNaF 3 takes place from June 21st, 2015, through June 26th, 2015 (after which it burns down). On a related note, the last night of Pizzeria Simulator is stated to be a Saturday, and since the game has a lot of relation to the Afton and Emily families, it's likely that it takes place on the day Charlie and Elizabeth died (October 31st). This implies that the game takes place from Monday, October 25th, 2015, through Saturday, October 31st, 2015.
- You may have noticed that Sister Location is the only game that doesn't start its work week on Sunday, instead beginning on Monday. That is because FNaF World takes place during this day, as implied by the lack of Funtime and Scrap animatronics. After this, the minigames from FNaF 3 are set up and Mike goes to the Sister Location bunker at the behest of his father. Ultimate Custom Night, however, has no set date because it is seemingly a time loop, an endless cycle of suffering endured by whoever you believe the player to be. Happiest Day only occurs after Ultimate Custom Night ends, but just as the Vengeful Spirit says, they will never happen.
- Now that we've covered the major events, let's get to the main course: The minigames. Considering the above evidence, Take Cake to the Children and Security Puppet take place on Monday, October 31st, 1983, Fruity Maze takes place on Wednesday, June 26th, 1985, and Circus Baby's Minigame takes place on Saturday, October 31st, 1987. Foxy Go!Go!Go! and Give Gifts, Give Life likely take place either on the same day as Fruity Maze or the day after on Thursday, June 27th, 1985, though the more likely option is the latter due to cluttering the number of events. The main FNaF 3 minigames besides Happiest Day take place during the events of FNaF 3, since Mike is the one setting them up. That only leaves the FNaF 4 minigames and Midnight Motorist. Due to Midnight Motorist being labeled "later that night" in the code, the rain texture being the same as Security Puppet, and the player driving a purple car, it's likely the minigame takes place the night of Charlie's murder. Since Elizabeth's death, the Bite of '87, and Pizzeria Simulator put a lot of emphasis on "parties on Saturday", it's likely they are calling back to the Bite of '83. Since William "should" have a motive to kill Charlie, this places the FNaF 4 minigames from Monday, October 24th, 1983, through Sunday, October 30th, 1983. This places the Bite of '83 on a Saturday, just like the Bite of '87.
- One last thing of note: Though the year she describes is inconsistent due to Book Charlie being a replica and not the real Charlie, she is born on Tuesday, May 13th, 1980, and dies at the age of 4. Similarly, the date of Fredbear's opening has also been inconsistent, ranging from 1979 to 1982 depending on the media. This seems to imply (to me at least) that Charlie's birthday is the same day Fredbear's opens. Also, since Elizabeth dies four years later on the same day as Charlie, it's likely the same is true for Elizabeth's birthday and the founding of Freddy's. Lastly, to me at least, Michael's birthday being the same day as Bite Victim would give him a motive to bully him and cause the Bite. Considering both Charlie and Elizabeth were four when they died, it's likely that Bite Victim's birthday is Wednesday, October 29th, 1980, with Michael being born on the same day in 1970 to allow him to be old enough to work at the FNaF 2 location as Fritz Smith. gives an exact date for almost any remaining dates missing.
- Thursday, October 29th, 1970 - Michael Afton (Mike) is born, William Afton and Henry Emily found Fazbear Entertainment.
- Tuesday, May 13th, 1980 - Charlotte Emily (Charlie) is born. Henry and William open Fredbear's Family Diner. In the diner are two animatronics, Fredbear and Spring Bonnie, who can be used as animatronics or worn as suits through the use of springlocks.
- Wednesday, October 29th, 1980 - Bite Victim (CC) is born, and Fredbear's is a massive success. Fazbear Entertainment is large enough to have plushies, action figures, build-your-own-robot toys, a Spring Bonnie finger trap, and even a TV Show called Fredbear & Friends.
- Friday, May 13th, 1983 - Elizabeth Afton (Abby) is born, Henry opens Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. In the Pizzeria are four animatronics (Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy), who originated from Fredbear & Friends and don't feature the springlocks found in Fredbear and Spring Bonnie.
- Monday, October 24th, 1983, through Sunday, October 30th, 1983 - Mike torments his younger brother in the week leading up to their birthday while their father watches from afar using cameras and a Fredbear plush with a walkie talkie. The day of the party, Mike and his friends accidentally cause the Bite of '83 through a prank gone wrong, and he dies the following day with both Mike and William speaking to him on his deathbed. The Bite Victim possesses the Fredbear plush, but Mike locks it in a toy chest along with all his other toys so they don't have to think about him. While Mike and William are talking to CC, Fredbear's closes down, the suits are moved to Freddy's, and Fredbear is rebranded to Golden Freddy and given black accessories to replace the original purple accessories.
- Monday, October 31st, 1983 - William gets Henry to watch Mike so he can go to a nearby bar to drink his problems away. After being kicked out for getting too drunk, William drives to Freddy's in a drunken rage. William sees Charlie locked outside by a bunch of bullies and kills her, leaving her body outside by the dumpsters. The Security Puppet animatronic, designed to keep children safe after the accident at Fredbear's caused it to shut down, follows Charlie outside and deactivates while clutching her in its arms. This causes Charlie to possess the Security Puppet. When William gets home, Henry tells him to leave Mike be, but he refuses. He knocks on the locked door before checking the window outside. He remarks that he's run off to "that place", meaning where Mike buried the toy chest in the woods, and vows that Mike will be sorry when he returns.
- Sunday, June 23rd, 1985, through Saturday, June 29th, 1985 - Fazbear Entertainment hires Phone Guy to record safety tapes for the springlock suits used at Freddy's. On Tuesday, an incident involving multiple simultaneous springlock failures (the origins of Shadow Freddy and Shadow Bonnie) causes wearing the suits to be banned. On Wednesday, William dons Spring Bonnie out of spite and lures two children, Susie and Jeremy, to the back room of Freddy's where the springlock suits were being stored and kills them. On Thursday, William kidnaps three more children (Gabriel, Fritz, and Cassidy) and brings them to Freddy's to kill them. He kills the first two the same way as before but has a "special gift" for the third one. He stuffs them into the Golden Freddy suit, then allows their crying and screaming to trigger the springlocks, causing yet another springlock failure. Once he leaves, the Puppet (AKA Charlie), takes action and stuffs the bodies of the other four children into the suits in hopes of bringing them to life the same way she was. This leads to Susie possessing Chica, Jeremy possessing Bonnie, Gabriel possessing Freddy, and Fritz possessing Foxy. Cassidy, however, had already been strong enough to possess Golden Freddy herself due to the agony of the springlock failure. On Friday, the police investigate Freddy's and find the Golden Freddy suit laying in a pile of blood, leading Fazbear Entertainment to seal the room the suits were being kept in. William frames Henry for the incident, causing him to go to prison for a crime he didn't commit and giving sole ownership of Fazbear Entertainment to Afton Robotics. However, the dead bodies being kept inside the other four suits began to leak blood and emit a foul odor, eventually leading the restaurant to be shut down due to sanitation violations.
- Sunday, October 25th, 1987, through Saturday, October 31st, 1987 - Now with total control, William opens a new Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. The new restaurant used new models called the Toy animatronics, due to being based on various toys manufactured by Fazbear Entertainment. The initial plan was to reuse the original suits, but due to the bodies inside, William instead re-uses their parts for the new line of animatronics. This transfers the Remnant of the original animatronics to the new animatronics. While this was occurring, he also began work on opening a new location, Circus Baby's Pizza World, with more humanoid animatronics in the form of Baby & the Bidybabs, Ballora & the Minireenas, BB, and JJ. The location also had two additional animatronics, Funtime Freddy with his hand-puppet Bon Bon, and Funtime Foxy. The animatronics at Circus Baby's were built for the purpose of gaining more Remnant and were programmed to lure, capture, and kill children. Abby, however, developed an obsession with wanting to see Circus Baby. Starting on Tuesday, she begins begging her dad every day to play with Circus Baby. William, obviously not wanting one of his own kids to die again, refuses. On Saturday, however, Abby manages to escape William's view and see Circus Baby, leading to the animatronic doing as it was programmed: killing Abby and extracting her Remnant. William, distraught by the loss of yet another child, cancels the opening of Circus Baby's due to "gas leaks" and retires the animatronics to a storage facility underneath his house. However, BB, JJ, and Funtime Foxy were moved to Freddy's instead.
- Sunday, November 1st, 1987, through Saturday, November 14th, 1987 - William, now robbed of the location he had planned to use for testing, gets a job as a night guard at Freddy's under the fake name "Dave Miller" to obverse the location. At first things seem to be going smoothly, but the animatronics quickly recognize him and attempt to kill him repeatedly throughout his work week. By Saturday, November 7th, he contacts the restaurant as "Dave Miller" and reports the behavior of the animatronics, which leads to him being moved to the day shift and a new employee named Jeremy Fitzgerald (one of Mike's childhood friends) taking his place. During Jeremy's work week, Phone Guy calls him each night to update him on current events and guide him through his shift. William, still needing Remnant, uses his position as a day guard to kill five more unnamed children. This causes the animatronics to become even more aggressive and leads to "Dave Miller" being fired by the company. However, since William still owned the building, he closes the location publicly. However, he allows one family to have a birthday party on Saturday and sets up Jeremy as the day guard. The animatronics (likely Toy Chica), believing him to be William, cause the Bite of '87 and leave Jeremy without a frontal lobe. Following this, the location shuts down for good and William sends Mike under the fake name "Fritz Smith" to dismantle the animatronics and return them to him. He uses the parts he has to repair the original animatronics and re-open the original Freddy's location to very limited success. He also injects the Remnant from the Toy animatronics into the Funtimes and repairs Funtime Foxy (who had been torn apart by toddlers while he was there and become Mangle), making them more hostile than before.
- Sunday, November 1st, 1992, through Saturday, November 14th, 1992 - While the Phone Guy had managed to work as a night guard at the FNaF 1 location for a very long time, he eventually got old enough to retire on his last work week in November. As such, he begins to record a set of training tapes for the next in line for the job after him. Things go smoothly the first three nights, but on Wednesday the animatronics finally get the better of him. They kill him and stuff him in a Freddy suit in the back room. This gives William an idea. From November 7th to November 14th, he performs experiments on Mike by poisoning his room with fear gas during the day, leading him to have horrific nightmares of the Freddy's animatronics. During the night, he sends Mike to work at Freddy's again as a night guard under the last name "Schmidt". On Saturday, however, Mike listens to the tapes Phone Guy left and checks inside the animatronics, leading him to discover what his father had done. This leads to William "firing" Mike and to the experiments worsening over the next few years. After a while, Mike's fear of the experiments leads to him becoming completely subservient to William and wanting nothing more than to please him.
- Sunday, June 25th, 1995 - FNaF World...happens. It's hard to explain exactly WHAT happens since the game is built on metaphors and double meanings, but its events are important because they set up the events of FNaF 3, Pizzeria Simulator, and Ultimate Custom Night. All that we know for certain is that Mike opens the box (as seen in the game's files), he remembers everything that happened, and he is tasked with putting the pieces in place to help his younger brother. Could it be a dream, altered by the spirit of CC, the fear gas, or something else? Could it be an in-universe game he played that was kept in the box with the other toys, explaining the repeated use of Atari imagery in cutscenes and minigames? Or could it just be something silly Scott wanted to make used to represent Mike and CC's memories of the past? I have no clue, and I don't think anyone else truly does either, so I'll just say it happened and leave it at that. Although, something important to know for later is that Old Man Consequences in FNaF World is used to represent Henry, given their similar speech patterns and his cutscene in UCN.
- Monday, June 26th, 1995, through Friday, June 30th, 1995 - William, running low on Remnant after experimenting on the Funtimes, returns to Freddy's to extract more Remnant from the original animatronics now that the location has closed. He lures them into the same back room he killed the children in and dismantles them one-by-one. While he's there, he sends Mike to the underground storage facility, now named Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rentals, to "put his sister back together". On Thursday, the animatronics kidnap Mike and place him in a springlock suit, forcing him to watch Ballora be injected with the Remnant of the original animatronics before allowing him to leave. On Friday, however, both Mike and William run out of luck. The animatronics at Circus Baby's tear themselves apart and join together to form Ennard, who tricks Mike into following them into the Scooping Room. The Scooper tears out his insides and allows Ennard to use him as a skin suit. While this is occurring, the ghosts of the children from the MCI take form before William and frighten him. In response, he remembers how wearing an animatronic mask confused them, so he wears the Spring Bonnie suit in hopes it'll make them leave. However, the general lack of maintenance and the wet surroundings lead to him experiencing a springlock failure first-hand. He dies a karmic death, but the agony of the springlock failure leads to him possessing the suit and becoming Springtrap.
- Saturday, July 1st, 1995, through Saturday, July 8th, 1995 - In the week following Mike's death, Ennard uses his body for a while to attempt to fit in with the other people in town. However, they didn't account for Mike's body decomposing due to exposure to air and sunlight. By Friday, they decide to abandon ship and vomit themselves out of Mike's corpse, leading him to collapse. However, the Scooper also injected Mike with Remnant, allowing him to reanimate himself and regain consciousness. This leads to Saturday, July 8th, where Mike laments his life and vows to find his father and get revenge for all the damage he's caused. While this is happening, Ennard is beginning to fall apart. The majority (Funtime Freddy, Funtime Foxy, and Ballora) eject Circus Baby's parts from their body, leading to Circus Baby having to put herself back together in more ways than one and becoming Scrap Baby. However, this causes their Remnant to destabilize and become molten hot, leading to their form melting into an amorphous pile of Remnant and animatronic parts called Molten Freddy.
- Sunday, June 21st, 2015, through Friday, June 26th, 2015 - 30 years after the MCI at Fredy's and 20 years after the events at Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rental, a horror attraction called Fazbear's Fright opens. Mike, seeing this as an opportunity to find his father, again applies for a job as a night guard and works there for 6 days. On Sunday, he has no luck and just sits in an empty office. He writes in the Logbook given to him by Phone Dude, the owner of the attraction, and notices two spirits communicating in the book. He remembers the events of FNaF World and uses this opportunity to pick up the pieces left for him and free the souls of the children. On Monday, however, Phone Dude has "great" news for him. He found Springtrap (AKA his father) in the backroom of Freddy's and is using him for the attraction. He also found the first set of training tapes Phone Guy recorded and plays them for the rest of Mike's work week. Over the course of the week, he communicates with the spirits in the Logbook, sets up their "Happiest Day", and defends against his father's attempts to kill him all while dealing with faulty equipment and Remnant-based hallucinations. On Friday, after he's certain the pieces are in place and has learned who the people communicating in the Logbook are (CC for certain, but the other could be either Cassidy or Charlie depending on how you look at it), he burns the attraction to the ground with both of them inside. However, William escapes, leading Mike to return once again and give chase. The Puppet, who had been at the location alongside Mike since it opened, also follows suit.
- Sunday, October 25th, 2015, through Saturday, October 31st, 2015 - Henry is released from prison on Sunday after the police in town investigate the animatronics roaming the streets and discover Circus Baby's, proving he was innocent all along. After leaving, he comes up with a plan. He reuses a bunch of older animatronics from before Fredbear's opened and repurposes one named Carnie into LEFTE, who he uses to capture the Puppet. He also builds a fake pizzeria above ground, with an elaborate labyrinth of vents with a large empty room in the middle below ground. He hires a new manager for the location, and tasks them with salvaging any animatronics found in the underground room. After the manager leaves, they will seal the room behind them. Afterwards, once all the animatronic menaces lurking around are inside, he will burn the location to the ground with no chance of escape for anyone but the manager (including himself). However, something unexpected happens. Instead of some rando getting the job, William's son Mike takes the position instead. He follows Henry's instructions perfectly until Saturday, when Henry's plan has come to fruition and the location begins to catch fire. However, Henry knew that Mike was exactly where he wanted to be, and that he wouldn't use the escape Henry left for him. He gives one final speech as they all burn together.
- Post-October 31st, 2015 - This one will also be a bit controversial. After the smoke clears, all the souls still present are freed from their animatronic prisons and allowed to move on. That is, all except for two. William was still undeterred and was attempting to possess another vessel, and Mike still wanted to make his father suffer how he had suffered. So, using the Remnant of the other spirits, he drags William into a coma. A dream he will never awaken from where he experiences what Mike went through and is taunted by the children he killed over, and over, and over. Henry (through Old Man Consequences) tries to reason with him, urging him to let William burn in Hell and allow Happiest Day to come to fruition. But Mike won't let that happen. He will hold him there. He will keep him there. No matter how many times they're burned.
2024.05.20 08:00 No-Clock5538 WIBTA if I(19F) pick a fight with my Mom(57F) for giving away my cats ten years ago?
throwaway bc my brother sees my main (better safe than sorry)
Backstory : Broken home, emotionally absent father, emotionally (and occasionally physically) abusive mother, anger issues older brother. Still functional, and obsessed with up keeping appearances to friends and family. When I was seven, I pleaded and begged hard enough that Mom got me 2 cats. ( Dad worked long hours, liked the idea, but wouldn't be dealing with them (she was SAHM), and left it up to my mom's discretion).
Had for two years, and she gave them away, claiming I was failing to take care of them properly. They weren't super troublesome, but they'd been gotten as kittens and I wasn't the best at training them not to scratch things. I always remembered to feed them, groom, etc, but would wait to clean their litterbox because when I would remember, would think 'Ill do it later'. (It was my least favorite chore.) Usually only 5-7 days MAX until I cleaned it. (4 litter boxes) between 2 cats. Everything else was fine. Any mess they made, I cleaned.
Citing my lackluster attitude about their litterbox as proof of my incompetence, accused me of failing to take care of them, and that SHE was taking care of them. At the time, there was a lot going on in the household, and despite my age I held a lot of negative opinions of myself (her voice in my head), and I believed her words. We gave them away to a friend of my cousins. I have never seen them since. I attempted to track them down once, two years ago in passing conversation, but my cousins had lost contact with the friend, and werent helpful, and reminded me that it was my own fault they were given away.
I think she gave them away because she just wanted to get her anger out on me. She fought with my Dad and brother, but I never reacted the way she wanted. I would just shut down, and couldn't even cry in front of her. When we gave them away, she kept repeating this was what I deserved, while I cried before, remained stone-faced during (while she blamed me for not taking care of them) and sobbed in the car on the way home. They were never really discussed again, and when they mentioned, she never failed to mention that it was my fault they were given away.
In the time since, my Dad has grown much more emotionally present (separating from an emotionally abusive wife helped) and allowed me two more cats. My memories of childhood are blurry (trauma) but I found photos of them. I fully broke down (curled into a ball, cried to sleep, the whole fucking mile) while staring at the photos, and I can't think about when I gave them up without crying. Every time. They were my first babies, and my emotional supports in a horrible time, and an awful house.
WIBTA if I brought this all up with my mom? I've attempted to confront her on a few things from my childhood, but she always turns it back onto me somehow. Is this a dumb argument to take up, especially after so long?
I know they were highly precious to me, but am I being bias over just cats? Anytime I remember them, I genuinely hate her, and I don't even hate her for any of the other awful things she did. It's this one thing I can't get over. I'm in therapy. I've been approaching a personal forgiveness, and peace with my feelings towards her. But I'm not sure I can ever actually forgive this.
Tldr : My mom gave my cats away 10 years ago and blamed me for making her do it. I don't think it was actually my fault, or that they were even a problem. Has it been too long to start a fight over this?

2024.05.20 07:53 1648Champlain How much (if I can) bring over the border (Can-US) in Jerry cans?
I get personal gas and use of a company car in my contract. I know gas is cheaper in the US but I can’t use my card there. I can drive across country in Canada on vacation as long as I declare my personal use mileage. I doubt I can bring anything over outside the tank. Google searches did not do me well. Thanks!
