I've spiked several pieces of functionality over about the last year, both for internal and user-facing work. Some features will be present in work I'm doing anyway. I am curious to get some early feedback before attempting to crystalize it.
Fully specified, fully decideable schedules are appopriate when scopes and times are known. I can imagine people who have jobs that are relatively static find the features of vanilla org mode to be appropriate.
However, for open-ended work, which is endemic to small companies in their high-growth and product development phase, these tools (and many, many others) fall down in a lot of ways. Most work is optional, even aspirational. The payoff of any piece or an ensemble of pieces is uncertain. The bandwidth is scarce and must be triaged. Managing is itself a rabbit hole prone to waste.
I had decided long ago to call the package afterburner, both because it is a GTD system for going fast and a sophisticated, automatic "back burner" (icebox) scheme. Here's an outline of the big problems I've been tackling:

• High-level priority switching: Based on new information, you may need to change strategy. The schedule for components of the old strategy that aren't part of the new strategy is upended when shifting priorities at higher levels. I wanted to automate this.
• Multi-dimensional, coupled value-add: If you have been exposed to enough business lingo, there is a concept of a "value matrix" where value-add is decomposed into several critical, orthogonal components. Mathematically, the volume ("value") is zero until you progress on every axis and progressing on your worst axis can be optimal. This requires us to prioritize on multiple dimensions, which actually aids reacting to strategy switching. Each dimension gets its own priority heap, and they are only combined in a view, saving us from the drudgery of physically moving things.
• Automatic queue filling: I find that sprint boards are an act of self-deception. Strategy is dynamic. Information is dynamic. While it is insightful to measure velocity and time-effort-value in hindsight, how can batch-based scheduling actually improve the rate of output? It does not. It helps contextualize upcoming work, but this view should result from merely displaying priority heaps.
• Risk management: We have to treat uncertainty in a first-class way. Partial ordering of work items is stressful when the value, effort, scope etc are uncertain. Often a smaller sub-unit of de-risking that work item can clearly be worth it. Becuase it's lower risk and smaller, it tends to get readily done and then completely illuminate the real value that might exist. It informs everyeone. This is also measurable and can be throttled. It enables teams to take risks in manageable doses. Quantifying risk motivates investing in security and reliability that are sometimes the victim of high-risk, high-reward prioritization.
• Time-enforced stochastic progression: For reasons buried in the nature of the mind, regardless of prioritization, some tasks just make more sense in the spur of the moment and are blazingly efficient to work on in that moment. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th priority items can make enough sense to tolerate non-determinism. Furthermore, automatic queue-filling has uncertainty. Sometimes it is just wrong. However, we still need to time box things to be disciplined about getting back to the 1st priority item. Time-boxing often forces splitting off small components of work, which just leads to the efficiency of incidental extraction of the minimal useful output. Managing tasks this way tends to switch on to them, split them, then switch off. It's prone to fragmentation and requires an information technology treatment.
• Pruning, automating meta-process management: Aspirational work items can often be written down while sketching things out. Maybe it becomes helpful. As it ages, it often gains or loses value. You do need to see it eventually, but even spending time looking at it only adds value if you actually roll-up, queue, and do some of these tasks and it was more valuable than what was in the queue. This gives us measurable return on time spent in the meta-tasks. Using this, we can motivate ourselves to delete or roll-up work infinitely into "back burner" tasks (the ice box), which live as trees of data where the leaves are nearly useless over time, but we never have to see them because they are so deep. As local AIs become a viable way to summarize and search these piles of ideas departed, I think this strategy of pruning-with-intent-to-kill will become more valuable.

This may seem like a lot to slam into one package, but as I said, I've spiked many little pieces and incidentally gained a lot of experience working with org data while writing dslide. I have some related work done on team and open-team work that just depends on more P2P or server-hosted synchronization.
If any of these problems resonate, telling your story and highlighting overlap will help both my product design and perhaps motivate investing some work into actually crafting a package for all Emacs users.

Cut to one month later and I have become more careful now. We are trying to make things work. He has new issues because I have told all my friends about what he did after I made him leave the apartment at 2am and now he is insecure about how my friends, who have such a big influence on me, see him. And they hate him. I said a lot of mean and rude and disrespectful shit to him when he was leaving that night and he has issues with the things I said when I was angry. (Yes ai agree they were v v mean. Things like "I was settling with you anyways. I can do better" and " I hope you have a daughter someday and then you realise what you have done to me" "I hope your family suffers" ) There are new issues to be dealt with and we are struggling but still trying to figure it out. One day I wake up to get ready to go to work and his phone is next to me. I open it and start scrolling. He had told me a year ago he is off all social media because its a waste of time and he wants to focus on his life and make money etc etc. I do not find anything on his phone. It is wiped clean. I am about to keep it down but I just open up his imesseges and start scrolling. Nothing here. literally 5 seconds before I am about to put it down I see the "verification code" for a DATING APP!!! I redownload multiple apps and find his profiles on it. MULTIPLE APPS. Those profiles are from 2021 summer. When we were having a rough patch. There is not much on there just small talks but then I see him asking this girl to connect on IG. I then find his alternate social media profiles where he is not that active but they are profile nonetheless. I find chats from 2020 year end (when we were 6 months int dating) and he is talking to some girl i have no idea about like he is single. He had hooked up with her before we met and is telling her how he craves companionship (while he is dating me lmao). I am shocked but I do not respond like I did last time. I calmly wake him up and show him what I found. He has nothing to say to me. I tell him to find a new place and move out by the end of the week and that it is over.
He makes arrangements to leave and go back to the other city from where he moved to live with me back in 2020. He has one week and he tries everything to make it up to me. He cries and apologises and gives reasoning. He explains how it was his mental health and he only wanted to feel loved and he was not feeling that with me. He says he never met anyone and as I must have noticed it was just small talk. I am not convinced. Instead I now know there is more to this shit. i started keeping my old phone's recorder on while leaving for work at 8:30 and would come back at 6:30 and listen to what happened while I was gone. I find him talking to his guy friends in a completely different way than I knew him. His friend advising him to just cry and beg me to forgive him and him saying how fucking headstrong I am and I need to understand the reasoning behind every action before I can even think about forgiving him. How I do not have the capacity to understand blah blah. He is also accepting how he has majorly fucked up and there is nothing that can be done at this point. It's like he is a different personality with this guy he is talking to. in 20 months I had never seem him talk like this. Somehow a week goes by and he leaves. I am heartbroken and destroyed. I am crying and somehow making it through each day. I still don't have any friends or support system in this city. It had been 3 years since I left home and I decide to go back to visit my family.
I come back feeling a little better.
Cut to May 2022. He starts calling me up and apologising again. Says he is ready to do anything and everything possible to make this work and accepts everything and how he fucked things up and has realised his fault. He literally emails chapter long messages - apologising and trying to make me understand his view and how he has loved me and how his intention was never to hurt me but my actions made him so such things. How he has insecurities and because I did not treat him well and he felt unloved he did all this.
I am not convinced and I am just trying to figure my life out. A month later my brother is diagnosed with cancer back home. I am all alone and my employer does not let me go back. My immigration status is at stake and my parents tell me to stay where I am and prepare for my bar exams and that they will take care of it. They say it is not life threatening and he will get better then come to me for further studies - after his treatment. Now I have to clear the bar and get a better job so when my brother comes I am ready for him and to sustain him. I have to save money and get a better place and get my license so I can take care of my brother after his surgery and treatment. I am completely alone and broken. I am helpless because I can't go back and I dont know what to do here in this country when my family needs me but my entire life and career and last 3 years are at stake and I can not leave either.
I cave in to this guy again and forgive him for my own selfish reasons. He supports me like never before. He takes the next flight to be with me and take care of me. He stays with me and makes sure I am eating properly and reassures me when I am losing my shit. He was always good at that. He was always the perfect bf on face. It was the shit he did behind my back. I do not trust him but I let him stay. End of 2022 I fail the bar and he is there. he supports me. He is there for me throughout. He is all I had so I let him stay. He gets a chance to make it upto me. He tries to be as transparent as possible this time.
2023 my brother gets better. I study for the bar again and pass this time. He cries with me when I open my result and pass because he as seen how hard I worked and how difficult it was for me to do this while my family was back home dealing with so much. I get a better job. He helps me move. I am not financially dependent on him. I never was since 2020. It is the emotional dependency.
Now he thinks we are trying to fix things and make it work but I can just never trust him. That trust is gone. Absolute 0. He is still trying. He is of the opinion that what happened was both of our fault and it was because we were 25 year old immature kids who didn't know any better. Throughout 2023 I give him a lot of shit over my trust issues and he 90% of the time takes it. Anything happens and I am ready to end the relationship. He somehow still manages.

I plan to use downloaded gpx trails in Alltrails for an upcoming European long distance walk. Doing practice walks at home I find my phone charge barely lasts the day as Alltrails doesn't allow power saving and I need to refer to it frequently. I have a Samsung S20. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can minimise the battery drain on my phone when using Alltrails?

What is good advice for this? Over the past 8 months there has always been an issue with her ex. You can tell by the way she describes him of being an angel. She moved across states for the summer. She stated she was upset that he the ex now works at her favorite coffee shop that she always goes to and now can't go anymore. I made a sarcastic joke about getting him fired and she laughed it off. Then I thought what if I actually did? Well I did. Sent in a customer review and bam he was gone the next week. Now fast forward 3 weeks. Later on she calls me and says guess who now works with her friend we'll call samantha. She asked me to guess and I just told her to tell me and she said her ex! We'll call him Jake. As she's laughing with Samantha over the phone to me I sit there with a straight face really pissed off. She asked if I was still on the line and I said yep and proceeded to ask why I didn't laugh which I said there was no point in this convo. I ended hinting that I was the reason he doesn't work there anymore. She laughed it off and couldn't believe it. Later that night, Samantha leaves and it's just me and my gf otp. She asks why I did it which I told her my reasoning. She was upset at that and didn't understand why. My dumbass self things it's okay to change up the story, so I make a fake instagram dm request like Jake wanted to contact me. I send it to her and she believes it...for a little. Now it's the next day. I get a call at 2pm asking what my problem is and asked why I lied? I asked what is she talking ab and she told me she contacted Jake to ask what it was about? He insisted and proved that he didn't say anything. I apologized and knew I lost all her trust as she's telling me it. She's ripping me a new one and hinting at breaking up. Then, I hear her friend chime in as she's at her friends house and now let's call this one Ashley. Ashley is now giving me advice on what to do when my gf is right next to her. I just sit there upset and agree bc I didn't want to argue. She's saying we need a step back and we're going to fast in this relationship. I ended up saying I will change and I'm sorry and it's a promise and ended the phone call on a good tone with each of us saying we love each other. Hours go by and as I'm falling asleep I get a text saying "goodnight I love you" Now the morning, no good morning text as I sent the first one. She reply's "good morninggggg" and confused self I went along with it. I called her and really spoke out my heart. How truly sorry I was. I had a letter written I wrote throughout the day in my notes app as to what to say. It ended up being around 1000 words. After I read it, she states she understands that I'm sorry but doesn't know what to believe me. And also states she's always heard "I'm going to change" but really they never did. I promised that I am changing and something like this won't ever happen again. As she is more upset I lied than what l actually did. A core moment she said to me was "what do you not get, I don't want a bf" and insisting on a single summer together but have contact still and not ghosting and try again in the fall. Knowing that won't work, I said no to it. As she says "when we are broken up, I want to be able to come and hug you if I see you in public and ask how you are. Which I said no and wish I states she will lose that right and privilege with me. We go in circles and I close out the phone call saying I wish she can trust me and that we don't need to be deciding our future 15 hours away and when she flys back here for a week or two, we can decide this face to face, other than that we are bf and gf and I will treat her as a gf but with space. Not texting her 24/7 and not calling her. 30 min later, she asks to apologize to her ex which I got his number and texted him everything which included the amount of respect I have him for the amount of love and care was he had for now my gf. He leaves me on read and my gf says "thank you" to me. We go on and she asks what l'm doing. Starts respond. To my snaps I'm sending are really confusing. Then when we have talked the last 30-45 minutes. She states a simple texting saying "I miss you" as I reply I miss you too. We see eachother in 6 days. Through this, I have not been heard once or can explain without getting yelled at nor one chance to respond to say anything. Everything is my fault and I'm the pos and she is a perfect angel. Do I break up with her? I'm currently really lost about her words toward me especially today. Do I keep giving space? I can't lose the love of my life.
TL;DR; : I got my gf ex fired and lied to her about a fake dm. She’s yelled at me for it the past 2 days hinting she doesn’t want to be with me anymore, but shows signs that confuse me and now I don’t know where I stand.

i just read a lot of ug posts like this lol and felt the need to vent
i recently started working at a lab everyday (i’m a bio major) for the summer. i’m starting a project soon and need to stay at the lab throughout this summer - which i didn’t mind at all. i find the research really interesting and was very excited for the opportunity, but i’m worried how i feel now will get in the way of my work moving forward
i was not having the best couple of days and, last week, made a pretty bad mistake when learning a new procedure. my mentor got mad in the moment, and although he seemed fine soon after, it was hard for me to deal with. i was tearing up while doing the rest of the procedure, and stepped out during my lunch break so i could cry while on the phone with my s/o lol. i admit my reaction was prolonged and probably very unnecessary- but i was in my head a lot about feeling worthless in general the days prior to this, and i became really overwhelmed after that mistake
i felt a lot better after talking it out with my s/o, she explained to me that making mistakes is completely normal and expected for an undergrad, and that i shouldn’t be scared to ask when i need help. i took that to heart and came in with a better mindset yesterday - that i would make sure to ask for help when i needed it, and not scare myself into needing to be perfect because i’m there to learn.
today, i started something for my project, and while i figured out most of it on my own, i had a small issue that i ran into when doing it. i knew that someone else in the lab had previously done something related to what i was doing - so i thought what’s the harm in asking? they were very helpful and i was able to fix the issue in no time thanks to their advice. i have no experience with this (cs), so i thought it’d be better for me to ask, especially since i was trying to fix the command multiple times but it still wasn’t working
i let my mentor know that i had reached out to the lab member regarding the problem, and that they offered to help me later in the week if needed - while i appreciated it, i told them that i would try to figure out on my own first. my mentor then tells me that i should only be reaching out for help when i’ve truly put in the effort to figuring it out myself, that i should learn how to do things independently, and that people in the lab are busy. fair point, i understand - but, at the same time, i’m just a bit confused how i’m supposed to learn when i’m now scared to ask questions. my motivation to work in the lab went down, and i know that this is all fairly recent, but i don’t know if i’ll be able to let go of it. i know i should since it’s work and the goal is to do things perfectly. i just think it sucks because i went in truly passionate about what i was doing - and now i’m afraid that i’ll just be there to do the work and leave
sorry this was so incredibly long, i just feel extremely discouraged and don’t know what to do. if anyone has tips or advice, i’d appreciate it :’)

I know I’m gonna sound like I’m joking in this but I’m not. Helps me feel better tho.
Hey so I have a skin condition which led to my eyes and other eye problems and whatnot (and EASILY treatable) so around when I turned 12 my eyes started to inflame but worse than they usually did but we didn’t have drops atm so we went to urgent care (mistake #1 apparently) but the doctor that usually prescribed us wasn’t there so we saw someone else (HUGE mistake #2) But he didn’t look into what was actually wrong with my eyes and just gave us (whatever the hell it was that he gave us) so i took the drops (LIFE RUINING mistake #3)
There are no words to describe the pain my eyes were in after taking those drops. Excruciating is an understatement. And I took those drops for a few days thinking they were helping (they were NOT) and during that time my eyes got so unbearable that I had to be in a pitch black room for days bc even the thinnest sliver of light was painful. (It was also summer btw). My eyes got so bad that I couldn’t get up and I couldn’t see my phone anymore. We finally went back to the doctors and it was a different doctor and she KNEW that she COULD NOT HELP ME so she sent me to the hospital (what the first doctor should’ve done) More excruciating pain and then the hospital sent me to an eye doctor. (I still see him to this day) and can u guess what he said? He said that the drops the first doctor gave me was not helping in fact those drops tend to make things worse. AND if I had kept using those drops and if I didn’t get to the eye doctor that day I would’ve completely lost my vision in both eyes. He actually looked into what was wrong with my eyes (what the first doctor should’ve done) and it took him only a few minutes to give me the right drops which “fixed” the problem right away.
My corneas are scarred. I have scars in my eyes. I’m legally blind in one eye now and my other isn’t too good either. I never perfect vision to begin with but I wasn’t blind before and the first doctor but then I was after him. And we had to pay for everything. It took us years to figure out how I can see and whatnot and after a lot of me begging for things and getting picked on at school bc of it (basically a whole other story) I’m finally speaking about it. I might be too blind to drive, too blind to see at work, blind enough to get “accommodations” for school/college (oh yay bigger texts) but not blind enough to get a scholarship for it or apply for disability. Figuring out if I can get a cornea transplant or not and whether it’s even a good idea. I’m not upset anymore just annoyed.

Im starting to use my phone more and attract more screen time hours this is something ive had stopped doing just for the sake to clear my mind, Wont keep lying to myself that im more productive than the amount of hours ive wasted
I been slacking on the being productive part , I would just “eat the frog” first and it worked really well , Since this is the last week of school its basically summer for me
I dont want to spend time trying to be “productive” while doom scrolling
I end up doing nothing all day, other than working out while clean bulking , Only productive thing I been seeing i do is Either organize my room or something but then end up in this shithole routine
Need routine examples or habits i can add , I dont want to end up procrastinating way more leading to shitty self

Hi,
I've been having issues receiving calls and voicemails lately.
After missing a very imporant voicemail from my doctor (!) I started going over the settings and there are several things wrong.
In App Notifications "Phone" is greyed out and I'm unable to toggle it on. In the voicemail settings, "Show notifications" is also greyed out and there is a message saying "At your request, Android is blocking this category of notifications from appearing on this device".
Any ideas on what to do? I read some people had some luck resetting app preferences, but for some the problem comes back. I think I have the latest update (Android 14 May 5 Security Update), and my carrier is Koodo (Canada).
This is the second time I had huge issues with Pixel. Last summer after a bad update my battery started draining completely in 2 to 3 hours. Which was a problem because I was on a trip in Europe with no easy access to a charger, and was of course unprepared for my phone randomly acting up. It drove me crazy until it was fixed some days later with an update, and I decided I was so mad because of the bad timing but I would stick with Pixel... but now that my phone is making me miss important phone calls I'm seriously considering jumping ship.
Anyone else having these thoughs? I just can't believe they roll these updates that break basic functionality of the phones. I never had those kind of issues with other brands before.

Hi, me (17f) and my bf (17m) have been dating for 8 months now, he’s had issues ( around our 3rd month mark) with texting other girls, none of the texts are like super bad, the worst he said was that one of the girls (there was 2) was beautiful. And that took a lot of talking and dealing with the emotions. Well fast forward a bit, he’s had this friend since i have known him, but I have yet to meet her, she follows me on insta and just by looking at her posts and seeing what she reposts I don’t really care for her, I get a “vibe”. My bf has also said that in the past she had “playfully” hit him. Well she has asked to hangout with him before and I was ok with it until I found out it would just be them two… I felt very uncomfortable with this and I expressed it with him, he accepted it and that was it. Well today he was talking about how she wanted to see him before she left for his trip this summer ( he leaves in like 5days) and he mentioned how she wanted to go to our local lake, he was talking about it like he had already made the plans… after a while he said “if that’s ok” which I replied to “ well like I said before I am very uncomfortable with that” and he just kinda was like “uhhhhh” then proceeds to say that she said I could come… which I don’t really want to meet her tbh idk why but it’s just not a priority to me. Now don’t get me wrong he can have female friends im so fine with that buttttt when they are ALONE together evern tho he swears up and down that he has never liked her and that nothing has ever been a thing between them. I feel it’s very inappropriate, and my trust ain’t fully healed from those past girls. Idk I’m I being to controlling? (I never ever have restrictions on my bf, I never even check his phone even tho he offers )

Note: I was born in 2005 so this is the Era i grew up in. Now i think we can all agree that Brian Frons is a a-hole that never should work in Daytime (I can forgive him for cancelling Port Charles, Never really liked it, Enjoyed Night Shift though) but cancelling OLTL and AMC is the straw that broke the camel's back. But the reason i say this is we had these major event storylines such as

• Port Charles Hotel Fire (2006)
• Encephalitis Virus (2006)
• Luke and Laura's 25th anniversary special (2006)
• My Personal Favorite The Metro Court Hostage Crisis (2007)
• The Text Message Killer (2008)
• The Biotoxin attack (2009)
• Jason's Car accident featuring the return of Alan Quartermaine (2011)
• The Water Pathogen (2012)

Now there are many things i don't like about Jill (firing Anna Lee and John Ingle,Getting rid of Kin Shriner and Genie Francis,Luke and Tracy ETC) and the focus on Sonny and Jason and Carly focus but watching it now makes me miss those days.
Note: I did not watch General Hospital from circa September 2012 (Right after the Water Pathogen ended) to Circa Summer 2019 due to the death of my Grandmother who i used to watch it with. So i have know idea how the Early Frank Valentini Era was (When i stopped watching the famous "Sirens" intro used since 2005 had just been replaced with the 2012-2019 intro and a couple months earlier characters from OLTL like Todd,Blair and Starr had started appearing in Port Charles

"Cancer, as known to the State of California, is this bag of roasted peanuts." Is what she said.
I wasn't paying attention anymore. I was staring instead at the goat.
I think that goat was actually Fred, and we just didn't know it yet.
We were still on our little detour when it started getting dark across the desert, rather quickly.
"I don't want to drive back in the dark. Let's stay in San Piana." Gloria had said.
That's when what appeared to be the same goat crossed our path.
I had to slam on the brakes, a cloud of road dust flowing over our vehicle and hovering over the road before us.
"I think that's the same goat." I said. I looked and saw it was atop someone's roof, staring down on us with red glowing eyes. I felt nervous while it looked at us, it's blackening silhouette against the evening sky looked sinister.
"Ew, I hate goats." Gloria got out her phone. "We have no reception out here."
I checked my phone - she was right.
"Let's find a place to stay for the night, then." I told her. We left our car parked in the middle of the dirt road leading into the village and took our bags to the nearest shack.
I banged on the door. A little old lady opened the door, with half her face looking like it would just fall off her skull at any moment. "Excuse me. We are travelling on our way to my sister's wedding, and we decided to drive this rental car. Now we are stuck here for the night, because the road back to civilization from this little detour is too dark and treacherous to drive back at night. So, we need to stay here tonight."
She said nothing, but reluctantly shuffled out of our way as we brought in our bags and made ourselves at home. I looked around at the little hovel, and despite looking like a primitive shack from the outside it was rather clean and tidy inside. "Not too bad. I thought it would be filthy in here."
"No vacancy." The old woman grumbled.
"Yes, of course. We have this little bed and breakfast exclusive to ourselves." I smiled, sat back in her rocking chair and put my dusty boots on the coffee table. The little old lady remained stoic, but I could tell she wasn't used to civilized folk. We took over the bedroom and left her on the couch, whining rather unprofessionally about her arthritis.
In the morning the lazy stiff had gone cold, forcing us to make our own breakfast. While we were eating, the village's chief showed up. He was wearing a brown button up shirt with a logo on it that vaguely looked like a county sheriff at a glance.
"Mrs. Summers has expired?" He noted the little old lady was still wrapped in an Afghan on her couch.
"Yeah, could you help me with that? She smells gross." I went to one end of the couch and indicated that I needed his help. He reluctantly assisted me while we took her and the whole couch outside and left her on the porch.
"Now I'll have to wait here with her until they can come get her. We have wild animals around here." Thoman sat, looking sad.
"Why the long face?" I asked.
"I just, it's sad she's gone. I've known Mrs. Summers since I was little. How'd she die?" He wondered.
I shrugged. "She was old?"
My wife brought out our bags, glaring at me for not helping.
"Well, we'll leave a nice review." I patted his shoulder and then left him there.
We tried to drive out of San Piana, but as we turned around, we couldn't quite find the road that led back the way we had come. We circled around for awhile while the villagers came out to see what we were doing. We waved as we drove past them and finally I stopped and asked how to get out of town.
They all pointed in eerie unison, with weird blank looks on their faces. I was feeling a little bit creeped out by them.
I was about to roll up my window, but never did.
As we were about to go, the goat came running at me from nowhere and ran its horns into the driver's tire. I never would have believed a goat could puncture rubber with its horns and tear it open like that. The whole car was being lifted on the impale, the goat bleating angrily.
When it was done it trotted away like nothing had just happened. Suddenly the airbags deployed.
"Help!" We were shouting for help. The villagers just stood there, staring at us.
"You are chosen by Azazel. You shall carry our sins, and the rotten soul of Mrs. Summers with you, out into the desert." Thoman was suddenly at my driver's side window like a jump scare. I was so surprised I gave him a high-pitched bark and almost slapped him. After the goat attack my nerves were shot.
"Your goat did that! You'll pay for the damage!" I proclaimed.
"All in good time." Thoman said with certainty.
I got out of the car, my knees wobbling from the scares. "What sort of place you running here? I want to see the manager!" I shoved Thoman and yelled.
"You will see Him." Thoman's eye's looked like goats' eyes when he said: 'Him'. I felt a chill, despite the warm desert sun.
I got back into the car and said to Gloria. "There's something wrong with this place."
She said nothing and I looked to her seat, empty. "Gloria?"
I got back out and looked around for her, seeing that the streets were now empty. Everyone had gone back inside their shacks. Gloria was nowhere in sight. I began walking around, banging on doors, looking in windows and searching for her, demanding to be told where she was. The villagers all played dumb, shrugging and acting like they didn't know any English.
As the minutes began to add up and I couldn't find her, a cold sweaty panic burst out of me. For about an hour I just ran around the place, looking desperately for her. When it got hot out and I was exhausted, I found myself sitting on the front porch of Mrs. Summers.
Thoman came walking up. "There you are. I had to come find you, see if I can help."
"Where's Gloria?" I asked, exhausted.
"I'm sure she's around somewhere." Thoman lit a smoke and looked at the empty couch. "Looks like Mrs. Summers has gone missing."
I looked and saw her corpse was removed, leaving only her shroud and some suspicious pawprints, like a team of oversized coyotes had dragged her away when nobody was looking. I shrugged.
"Gloria is missing." I pointed out. Thoman nodded as he realized I couldn't care less about the local wildlife problems.
"People go missing sometimes. They always get found sooner or later." Thoman said, somehow mirroring my attitude about the missing old woman, but regarding Gloria. I started feeling hostile towards him.
"Do you know where she is?" I stood up, trembling and sweating.
"Of course, but it won't do you no good. She can't be found if she doesn't want it." Thoman blew smoke at me, dropped his smoke and crushed it underfoot until it was a mess of tobacco, ashes, paper and the filter. "Still there."
He dusted his hands off on his jeans and walked away, leaving me there looking at the whisp of smoke hovering ephemerally over the ruined cigarette. I heard coyotes howling in the distant hills in the middle of the day, I heard wind chimes making discordant sounds, I heard the bleating of the goat sound like laughter and then the cackling of the old woman who I knew was dead.
I sat, and from my feet a numbness of fear began to climb up my legs like tarantulas. My skin was like braille, and my sweat ran in rivulets into stains darkening on my clothes. My eyes stared, listening to the desert while it spoke the name of its lord. I was afraid, I knew I was against something that wanted to eat me, somehow.
"Where are you?" I asked Gloria, my voice a dry cracking sound. I went into the old woman's shack and poured some of the iced tea she had made at some point before she died. It tasted like tomatoes with a hint of almonds and made me feel sleepy. While I walked to the couch, I dropped the glass and fell over.
Darkness made me blink, my eyes darting around for any source of light. All around me, in the midnight desert, candles stood upon cooled-melted stands made of old wax - atop human skulls. I was tied naked to a cactus, my body seemed to be covered in writing done in ketchup.
There was a humming sound of many human voices, not an unpleasant sound, except in the circumstances it frightened me to know I was surrounded by people humming in unison. Gloria was standing at one end of the triangle, holding a Nosegay Bouquet like it was some kind of offering towards the darkness. She wore nothing but an open hooded robe of shimmering crimson and scarlet.
I always find my wife exciting, so despite her betrayal, I still think she looked hot as a Satanic priestess. I'm pretty lucky.
The third corner of the triangle was an old woman wearing the skin of an oversized coyote, and also slippers made of coyote feet. She howled dramatically and her voice was answered by a disembodied growling from all around us.
I peed myself in terror, glad I wore nothing to absorb it. Instead, it just ran down my leg and collected under my left foot. I wanted to scream, but I felt weak and frightened, unable to do more than whimper pathetically in mortal dread. Gloria looked at my mess and smiled weirdly at me.
"Azazel, take from our community our sins, take our sins to the desert. Leave us another six years of peace. We offer you the slaughter of the scapegoat. Lord of the wilderness, accept our humble sacrifice." The gathered creeps were saying their prayer slowly in unison. They repeated it word-for-word again and again, long into the night.
Something was coming closer, something was coming. All around us desert creatures hopped and leapt and swooped, chittering, yipping, barking and hooting. Thousands of beetles, centipedes, tarantulas, snakes, scorpions, mice and crickets swarmed everywhere except the hot wax and flames of the candles. I cried and shivered, moaning in horror as the creatures crawled all over me.
The glowing eyes, a shade of golden brown, loomed from the darkness. As the shape of the entity formed in my mind around the darkness it was cloaked in, sleep overwhelmed me. I straight up fainted at the sight of Azazel.
The early dawn found me in the back of our rental car, driving on a spare. Gloria was driving, getting us to her sister's wedding on-time. "Why?" I choked out a word.
"I wouldn't bother, but his business is in jeopardy. When we cross the border into that state, we are in the territory of one of the most corrupt governments on the planet. Technically, California is part of the United States in name only. Everyone knows their government is run entirely by criminals. The new laws will eliminate her new husband's franchises. They'll lose everything and have to live with us. I hate my sister, you know that." Gloria enlightened me to her insane political opinion and family drama, without answering my question.
"You're telling me all that was about burgers and ketchup?" I wheezed, needing a drink.
"With this -" Gloria held up the bridal bouquet "My lord will bless their union. She cannot be made poor by the dealings of other devils. They are all on the same team, you know."
"Team McDonald?" I asked.
"Team Humanity. They just want what's best for us." Gloria explained.
"Demons want what's best for us?" I tried not to sound too incredulous.
"No. You are missing the point. Humans make the sins, they just feed. They are fair, if you ask them for a favor. They'll take care of you."
"Like getting someone elected?" I guessed.
"Yes. Exactly." Gloria agreed. I stared out at the scenery of Angel's Crest National Monument as we drove.
We arrived at the wedding and I kept thinking about how good Gloria looked as some kind of Satanist last night. I requested we spend some married couple time together and she considered it, but said we had no time for such things. She promised we'd spend some quality time together after the wedding, provided I play for her team.
"I can't promise anything." I said honestly to her. For whatever faults I have, I do insist on being honest with my spouse.
We parked in the alley and got ourselves ready to go into the wedding, still looking like we were out all night, despite twenty minutes of details.
"We need to get going." Gloria urged me. I was still fiddling with my tie in the passenger's mirror, since the driver's side one had a crack in it already. I kept reminding myself how this car was a rental, as the thought was easily slipping my mind under the stress I was feeling.
I hate weddings.
We went in and the place was simultaneously too loud with all the murmuring and too quiet with all the whispering. I kept hearing words of profanity and would look up to see if any of the holy statues were reacting. No weeping or bleeding.
It really freaks me out when statues cry and bleed and have flesh underneath when they get damaged. I'm pretty sure there are actual religious orders where they entomb their saints alive, after eating a diet of herbs meant to sedate and preserve the corpse sealed inside. Not too freaky, but I am just one person being judgmental, aren't I? I realize I am sorta disrespecting their whole culture in a way, and that's not how I mean for it to sound. It's just not for me - I get scared - that's all you need to know.
The blurry way the statues looked had me standing in front of the bride's aisle while everyone was wondering what I was looking at with that look on my face. I'd provided the distraction Gloria needed to ensure absolutely nobody except her saw her make the switch of the bouquets. She had an exact copy of her sister's bouquet, unironically.
Out behind the church we met and she had started a small fire in a coffee tin with holes around the bottom rim. She closed the knife she'd used and used the longneck lighter to get a couple candles going on the side.
"Hurry, someone might see us." I said as loudly as I dared, half hoping someone would hear me and look around the corner. I couldn't help it, part of me was against whatever we were doing. I still felt nervous, nervous we'd get caught or that we'd get away with it. My anxiety had me holding my hands like I was warming them to the fire.
"And white goes softly into flames, and black comes the smoke, pure and thick." Gloria dropped the blessed flowers into the flames.
"Uh, amen." I coughed.
"Let's go watch her get married." Gloria growled.
We went in and there was a wedding that happened while we were in our seats.
While most people were on their phones, texting or whatever they were doing, others actually watched the wedding.
I looked around and saw how some people were observing the ceremony. I too was looking at it, but trying not to. I knew I was seeing something there that they weren't, and it was pretty scary because I knew it was real. Therefore, it was invisible to all of them except me.
I leaned over to my wife and asked her: "Who is the goat up there with them?"
"That's Fred, she's like a bridesmaid." Gloria whispered back.
"Fred is a girl goat?" I asked.
"I can arrange for you to have visits from Fred, Sweetea, if that's something you're into." Gloria teased me weirdly, but I didn't really find it that amusing, just creepy. The last thing I wanted was to be haunted by an invisible goat-demon.
"Ew, no thanks." I said.
When the bouquet was tossed, Gloria caught it. She'd run in, shoving all the maidens like a quarterback. Some of them had fallen and gotten serious scrapes and bruises. Her sister yelled at her, but Gloria just looked at me and we took off around the corner and went for our car.
"Why aren't we leaving?" I asked.
"This has to be under her bed on her wedding night. My sister is a virgin, she has to be given to her new husband first." Gloria waved the bouquet in front of me, gripping it the same way she had gripped her foldable dagger earlier when she'd cut the coffee can.
"I have a feeling you mean Azazel." I gulped, realizing I couldn't go that far with her. I had to find a way to stop this.
"What's that?" Gloria asked me sharply.
"I'd best dealing be with Azazel?" I tried to change what I'd said, botching it horribly.
"No, you said something else." My wife said firmly, and frowning. I had a feeling my bed had just gone cold, and it scared me as much as the devils, because as I mentioned, Gloria is what's best in my life.
"I don't like this." I admitted. I also mentioned I really don't lie to her.
"She won't know the difference." Gloria smiled a little bit, a kind of evil villain-styled smile. I found it too sexy.
"Either way, it's wrong. I'm not sure exactly how, but it seems super perverted and evil and I won't allow it." I proclaimed.
Gloria slammed on the breaks and flicked out her knife and held it to my throat. "Get out."
I was left standing by the side of the road with my bags as she sped away, driving to some unknown honeymoon destination to put some cursed flowers under her sister's bed to summon some kind of husband demon for her wedding night. I'm pretty sure I had to stop this from happening.
"You still fighting the good fight?" Ronald McDonald stepped out from where he was waiting to catch a bus.
"I love my wife to death, but she is trying too hard to ruin her sister's wedding." I sat on my bags, feeling tired and my eyes watering.
"Don't cry." Ronald McDonald told me. "You got to man up right now. This is your chance to set things right."
I sniffled and tried to smile for Ronald McDonald. He smiled back and we shared a moment on that desolate highway.
"I've got something for you." He told me. He handed me a toy from a happy meal I'd gotten as a kid, the Muppet Baby Fozzie. I assembled his armor and put him on horseback. When I looked up, Ronald McDonald had caught the bus and was waving goodbye to me.
That's when the tears started. I knew I had to step up and stop her. I wiped 'em on my handkerchief and got my phone out of my pocket. I used the app we had to find where she was, after figuring out how to use the darn thing.
Then I used another app to summon a professional getaway driver named Breeze. She arrived in less than four minutes, the sound of her engine in earshot for the whole last minute as she took the three miles of road between us with fury. We said nothing to each other. I showed her the destination and the review I'd already written and nine one-hundred-dollar bills and she gave me a hand signal I guess meant we were in business. We caught up to Gloria and then I found the only likely honeymoon spot, a desert view bed and breakfast, of course.
We got ahead of Gloria and Breeze accepted her payment and vanished into thin air, leaving only burning tire tracks in her wake. I reached into the newlyweds open car and released the parking brake. With a muscle-pulling, ankle-twisting, hernia-inducing, disk-slipping effort I got the darn car moving, with the toy in my pocket making me pretend I could do this. I got their vehicle into the ditch, out of sight.
I went into the bed and breakfast and checked the guest registry. I was sweating and my suit was coming loose all over. I was limping and groaning, although I wasn't feeling what I'd done to myself yet. I looked at the names. They were here.
With the page torn out I started a new entry for the weekend and made up a couple fake names before the owner found me there.
"Uh, sorry." I said. I set the toy on the counter and fled.
I watched from the bushes while Gloria went in. See, I find simple plans without a lot of moving parts work best in any situation. Gloria found no evidence she'd come to the right place. The owner was already freaking out and gave her a stern goodbye.
Gloria tried to call her sister but got nothing. As she drove away my terrified state began to subside. I collapsed in the bushes, sleeping with a butterfly on my eyelash keeping me company.
"You did this." Gloria was saying. I was in the back seat of the rental again. She was smoking, and she'd smoked enough that the little strip had turned yellow, indicating we would be charged a cleaning fee for the damages. There was no ashtray, so she was just putting them out on the dashboard, leaving little burns and ash everywhere.
Her phone chimed and I saw she was chatting with one of her old boyfriends. She made sure I saw this. I rolled my eyes. It's not like we'd spent twenty years married. Her interrogation techniques needed improvement, especially since she would know - I don't lie to her. I'd never seen her smoke, not that I could remember, not for a long time.
I was under a lot of stress, but as I thought about it, she was smoking the whole trip.
My mind played a weird montage of all her light-ups. I felt like it needed a theme, so I hummed the theme to that show we were just watching. Then I looked at her and stopped humming, humming that cue for the other person who hums to hum along, you know what I mean. There should be a word for that kind of cue, probably is, but I'm not fluent in music vocabulary.
She didn't get it, but instead got mean and lifted her hand like she wanted me to stop humming because it was annoying or something. I stopped.
"You're not even Gloria." I complained.
"Took you long enough." The creature grinned.
My mind went wild with terror, as I realized she was some kind of horrible demon disguised as Gloria. She handed me the toy from McDonald's and it started to melt, becoming warped and evil looking. Her laugh sounded like a stretched audio recording of a laugh, all distorted and demonic, exactly like the best horror movie foley artists make it sound, and making me pee from my frozen spine bone and dry eye sockets staring till my eyes hurt.
Demonic laughter is unforgettable, a kind of maddening sensation, like something is being ripped out of you suddenly, a painful disorientation that you never quite stop feeling dizzy from. Its an ache, an unhealing wound of the psyche, always oozing and causing me some kind of misery. It lives there, like a tiny flea, too small to squish or catch, in its hole, in my mind.
Weirdly enough, the horrible little toy it gave me contains it, and that is why it must never be touched, for although it is a burnt figurine, it imprisons a part of the wilderness of souls.
I held it there, and looked up at the not Gloria. She looked just as relieved and bewildered as I felt. She was Gloria again, I could tell it was her.
"Where is it?" She asked me.
I held up the toy, having already dropped it into the burnt coffee tin to contain the prison for the sound that the demon had become when I'd listened to it, pretending to be my wife, therefore listening to my wife also.
"How's that work?" Gloria asked me, sobbing. She wanted reassurance it wasn't going to take control of her ever again.
"Well, we are in this together for better or worse." I figured I'd say.
"We weren't helping it. It already got me, using my hate for her against me. Remember when we got the wedding invite?"
"I thought it was weird there was a goat with glowing red eyes drawn on that." I pointed out.
"I never really wanted to hurt her." Gloria felt awful. I hugged her close and kissed her forehead.
"I'm the one who got hurt." I reminded her.
We went over all the things like cactus and such that I'd suffered, dehydration, scares, murder and mayhem, dagger stabbings, cannibalism, arson and demons. It was agreed I was the hero in all this, and I finally got some ketchup on Satan's burger.
It was delicious.

Hello! For some background info, I recently (a few months ago) got my cat, Rocky from a local shelter. I fostered him for a bit to make sure he was a good fit for me, and then I officially adopted him and he is now certified as my ESA. He is around 3 years old.
He’s definitely has adapted to my routine more or less, so if I’m up (aside from a few cat naps throughout the day). If I’m walking around, cleaning, working from home, etc he is GLUED to me, which I don’t mind. If I’m sitting on the bed, couch, at my desk, etc, he finds a way into my lap even if it means sitting on my book/phone/laptop that had been sitting in my lap. He rubs his head on EVERYTHING, which is adorable and I’ve been told it’s a dominance thing to spread his scent.
He also has to sit ON TOP of me, or he doesn’t want to cuddle lol. I wake up most mornings with him on my back/back of my legs, which I don’t mind, but I feel like an asshole when I (gently) kick him off me in the middle of the night cause I can’t fall asleep with him on top of me (he’s 15lbs, he aint small).
He doesn’t really play with toys, even though he has dozens. I have a cat wand, a large assortment of catnip-stuffed toys, moving toys, scratching posts with bells and feathers etc, and he plays with none of it. Maybe once or twice every few weeks I’ll catch him batting around a catnip stuffed mouse, but he really don’t touch them otherwise.
He gets post-shit and post-meal zoomies though, so he does play, just not really with toys. The second he’s doing peeing he sprints from one end of the house to the other and back again a few times and then he normally plops back down in my lap for a nap. He plays more with the hair ties I use than with his toys lol.
As far as I know, this is all normal cat behavior, but I’m coming to Reddit to ask some clarifying questions since google is very vague and all cats are different. I want to make sure none of his behaviors are indicators of something I’m unaware of
Question #1: how can I tell if he’s lonely? I get the sense he dislikes being home alone since when either my roommate ate or myself leave the house, he sits by the door crying for a while before he moves on. His clinginess when I am home makes me wonder if he’d be happier with another cat in the house?
Question #2: if the shelter says he doesn’t like other cats, should I trust that and not try to bring another cat into the equation? For context, the shelter said they used to let all the cats free roam together a few times a day and my sweet boy got fairly aggressive with the other cats. The only reason I feel like that may not be the case with all cats is that he acts very different now than he did in the shelter. I can’t help but think he’d eventually be friendly with a new friend in the comfort of his home, and as long as I fully assimilate them correctly. If I were to try, I would most likely get a kitten (shelters advice), and foster first in case they don’t get along.
Question #3: vet appointments/pet insurance. Do I need pet insurance? What tf is pet insurance lol? Should I bring him to the vet more than once a year (given he doesn’t need to go for emergencies at any point)? What are some common warning signs/reasons to go to the vet I should be aware of/look out for?
Question #4: HOW TF do I manage the spread of the litter lol. I have a litter box with a lid and a litter catching mat under and around it, but somehow the litter still ends up in all corners of the house.
Question #4: how do yall best recommend trying new food? I’ve had issues with trying new wet food since everytime I give it to him, no matter the brand, he acts like he’s never eaten before (which he doesn’t do with his normal food, he’s fairly well behaved with food), scarfs it down and ends up vomiting it all up later. I’ve tried mixing some wet food in with his dry food and he still vomits it up. Any advice/good brand recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Questions #5: should I be concerned about his disinterest in toys? Should I keep buying more to see if he eventually finds one he likes?
And just in general any advice or suggestions are helpful!

Hi. I am a male who just moved to NYC for a huge internship. I’m from the northeast, but lived in Europe for some time. However, I don’t know a single soul in NYC.
I have been here for a few days and have already caught attention/been approached. I originally wanted to focus on my upcoming job, but I have been curios about whether I should try and get signed here because I’m still young.
Does anyone know photographers who could take good digitals for me? I have some time on my hands as I have not begun work yet. Again, I am completely alone out here it’s wild lmaoo. I also don’t trust myself to take them on my phone.
I’m 6’1, 165 lbs, and have done 1 (smaller) show.. runway type of work.
Thanks.

Hey all! Looking to do my first sprint tri this summer, and wondering what type of bike to get, some info + questions below!
Some context:

• new to biking , not to exercise
• not looking to win, just to finish and have something to train for
• ideally I spend ~$1,000 - $1,200 (or less) and if I really love my first race , could always upgrade
• bike shop told me a road bike would be best, which is what I'm leaning toward

Questions - should I buy new or used? Loaded question I'm sure .. - how is the trek dormane vs specialized allez for my use case? - any other brands I should look into?

I have been a member of Paypal for over 20 years (opened in 2003), today I received an email saying my account was blocked. I immediately opened the app on my phone, then went to the website on my pc and both said the same thing.
Your account is blocked until you provide more information. They want a photo ID such as a driver's license, a SSN, and my physical address. Most of this they already have except for the driver's license, and they already have my bank account.
I am not sure why they just all of a sudden blocked my account without any notification and would not even discuss about upcoming payments that I have and I count on this paypal to pay. The best they would do is send the information to the back-end team for further review, but I may not hear back from them for 5 business days. I really feel like this is unacceptable. I asked to speak to a supervisor and the support representative literally said "the button to the supervisor is broken". Eventually I did get to speak to a supervisor, and he said he already heard back from the back-end team and that I must provide a photo ID.
In recent times I only use PayPal for a few different streaming services and they just charge my bank account - there is nothing else going on with the account.
Anyway, I am moving all my services away from PayPal as I have no other choice or miss a payment.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks for listening.

When someone you love just disappears, it messes with your entire life. For me it was my 13 year old brother David. I loved my older brother so much. We were living in a small farm town in the Pennsylvania countryside. At that time we were living in one of the oldest houses in town. Our house was built sometime in the late 1700s.
On the night he went missing, I remember my parents weren’t home that night for whatever reason, but back in the 80s it was considered okay to leave your kids home alone. Me and my brother were both sitting on the floor in the living room, listing to the radio broadcast. My brother asked me to fill him a glass of Hawaiian Punch. After I went to the kitchen and poured him a glass, he had completely vanished from the living room.
I remember that exact moment as clear as day. I thought he was playing a trick on me, I played along but when I search every room in that damn house, not a hair was out of place. He couldn’t have gone outside because I was by the front door the whole time, and the windows were sealed shut since by the previous owner. The basement door in the living room was wide open. The only place he could’ve gone. When I left to fill up his drink it was shut. I was horrified of the basement as a kid because there’s no electricity down there and it litterly looked like a dungeon. I yelled his name from the top of the stairs countless times but he never answered. Even though I was 11 that basement still scared me.
I remember that night, sobbing uncontrollably, and when my parents finally pulled into the drive way the next morning, I was still in tears when I told them about David. Mom and dad checked the whole house.
I then told dad about how the basement door was wide open, and when he walked down into the basement. I remember sitting on the couch next to the basement door, hoping my dad would walk back up with David, but when Dad walked up those stairs his face had gone completely pale. In his hands were my brothers clothes from the night before. I can’t describe how horrified I was. He dropped them onto the ground, and walked upstairs to where mom was. I then got on the ground and crawled toward the clothes. Exactly what my brother was wearing before he disappeared. I sorted through them. Everything he wore that night, shirt, pants, underwear, socks. Everything stripped from him.
I could here my parents voices from upstairs. My mother than came sprinting down the stairs and got on the phone with the police. My dad ran outside and into the field.
When the police finally arrived the entire police team thought he must have gone outside and got lost in the near by forest, but I knew for a fact he was in that house. The Police officers spent weeks searching the woods and fields near our house. The police checked the basement, but said there was nothing. They closed the case about a half a year later. The entire town assumed it was a kidnapping. I knew it was something to do with that basement but I could never get myself to go down there.
After his disappearance life continued for our family, we turned David’s bedroom into a guest bedroom. I hated how my parents did that, it felt like they were trying to move on. I was unable too, loosing David was a huge damper over my entire family. Something that would hang over our heads our entire lives. Moms way of copping with the grief was just erasing all memory of him. I hated her guts for that.
Every-time I looked at that basement door growing up, I could feel something behind it. I remember one day when I was 16, I was putting DvDs away in the living room, I was sitting a few feet away from that door and I smelt something familiar. The smell was seeping through the cracks of the door. It was what my brother smelt like. I got up and nearly ripped that door off the hinges. I ran downstairs into the darkness. The entire room smelt like David’s old bedroom. It was pitch black, but I knew he was in there. I started screaming his name, I screamed his name for hours until Dad finally came down. Dad couldn’t smell it. He thought I was insane. I remember I couldn’t talk for weeks after that.
Nowadays the 30 year anniversary of David’s disappearance is rolling around. I can say it’s been along 30 years without him. I’m now living alone an hour or so away from my childhood town. I had to get out of there as soon as possible, when I turned 18 I started looking toward apartments in town, and by my 20th birthday I was out the door. My parents continued to live in that house. My mom developed stage 3 breast cancer about 3 years ago and was forced into a group home closer to the hospital. My father was given the option to move with her and sell the home, but he decided to stay there and continue farming. My Mother and father had a tough relationship ever since I left the house so Dad didn’t mind the quiet.
Later on, my dad fell off his tractor and broke his knee, and is now unable to walk without a cane. He then moved in with mom then sold me the land for free and insisted that I moved back into that house. I wanted nothing to do with that house. I had to pay taxes for that house on top of my own taxes. I then allowed tenants move in. They were young couple, late 20s. Of course my stubborn old man was angry with me for letting a desperate couple live in the vacant house. They’ve been living in that house for almost a year now and they called me up last week complaining about a decaying smell coming from the basement. By that time I had learn to adapt from David’s death. I told them I’d check it out the next morning. That was the biggest mistake of my life. I woke up early the next morning and drove to the house. It felt odd driving back their. Those fields, it all felt so familiar. I tried not to think about how scared I was of that basement growing up. Fortunately my dad finally added electricity down in the basement.
I pulled into the driveway. They were both waiting outside for me. They said it smelt like something was rotting down their. I had everything I’d be needing, asbestos masks, medical gloves, eye protection. I worked as an air duct cleaner a few years ago so I have some background knowledge.
I walked into the house, and headed for the basement door. I never seen what It actually looked like down there until now. I opened the door and could immediately smell it, something was rotting in there. I turned on the light switch. Ahead of me was an empty room. It was small. Looked to be about 15 by 10 feet big. This basement had been haunting me for all these years, seeing it with the lights on felt off. The walls were stone, except for one. One of the walls stood out, it was wood instead of stone. The smell was clearly coming from the wood. The wood was rotting. I walked over and I thought the best idea would be just to tear the whole wall down. I started tearing pieces of rotten wood off the walls. Light started to seep into the other side. There was a secret room in the basement. I stopped and infront of me I saw what looked like human flesh. I couldn’t describe how horrified I was. I would rather go to hell than relive that terrible moment.
I started smashing that wall with all the force in my body until it finally gave in. The creature infront of me, just the sight of it made me want to claw my eyes out. It was in a fetal position The skin wasn’t pale, it was white, and it looked like the flesh had been melted to the bones. The fingernails and toenails stretched halfway across the room. The worst part was that it wasn’t dead, it was breathing. It was alive. “David” I said in a terrified voice. It slowly lifted its head and looked at me. The face looked completely mutated, but those eyes, those eyes were my brothers eyes. It tried to speak. It tried with everything in it. That thing was my brother David. I had so many question’s. How was he alive? what did he eat? How could he breath? What the fuck happened? I kept the questions to myself. That was my brother in that basement. This whole time he’s been in that fucking basement. I didn’t say another word to him. I ran upstairs and out to my car. I opened up my glove box and grabbed my gun. By the time I got downstairs, David had stood up. Dragging his long nails behind him. “Julian” he growled. I then shot him in the head.
At the top of the stairs were the tenants questioning the gun shot. They walked down the stairs to investigate. By the time I heard them scream I was already out the door and backing out of their driveway.
I didn’t shoot David because I was scared of him, I shot him because I of how awful the situation was. That was 2 days ago. I’ve been driving ever since. The only time I stopped was to fill my gas tank. I don’t know where the hell I am, last time I checked it said I was in Kansas. I don’t know what to do. Should I join Davis in the afterlife, or should I try to move on. The most sickening thing is not knowing what happened. “What the fuck happened” I keep asking myself. “What the hell happened”

So for the last three years I'll randomly been getting emails meant for some guy with the same first and last name as I have. These are important emails, during COVID it was his employer sending important directions on how to claim unemployment benefits from his company (he lives in the UK, I'm in the USA. It appears he works in the film industry as a carpenter or other craft person). Then it shifted to emails about how to check access on days they could return to work and stuff. Occasionally I would get an email from an HR company for him on a temporary work situation (I assuming a job on a film for six weeks or something). It was weird as heck to me but I thought maybe emails were being sent to my address and another address. my email is [name].[name] @gmail and I thought maybe without the period or something was getting things mixed up. Initially I thought it was pretty entertaining to get a little private peek into someone else's life. Again, always super important emails.
Fast forward to now and they're coming more often. Almost daily. His new insurance information. Him signing up for an over 40s dating web site. A couple different clothing web sites where he's ordered some items. I have his full name (the same as mine), his full mailing address, and his full O2 mobile UK cell phone number. These are all wildly important emails, but they're starting to get annoying. I would unsubscribe myself from the mailing lists to these things he was signing up for. Then I when I kept getting more I would go in and change the password to the accounts he set up (because duh, the password reset would come to my email). I figured he would get the hint and double check what email address he was using. Well it kept coming. I then cancelled a couple orders he had placed because I could log in directly from the order link in the confirmation email that was sent to me. I figure he MUST finally realize he's putting in the wrong email and would correct it. Nope, STILL coming. Again, all really important stuff, not just spam free accounts. Some after pay service just a few minutes ago where it shows his full name/address/mobile number and the last four digits of his VISA number. He's got 4 upcoming payments on two pairs of pants and two shirts he ordered. I could cancel the order, or opt to make all four payments (with his payment card) all at once right now.
It's impossible this is a glitch in the matrix where he's getting the emails AND I'm getting them, right? This is just some idiot that for the last four years has NEVER had his important emails go to his account and for the last couple months has had every important account he's signed up for suddenly have the account deleted or password changed or something, right?
Like how do I send this guy a clear message to PAY ATTENTION to the email address he's using. Do I just make all four payments at once so he freaks out and really double checks all his information? I'm really getting tired of this...

To help reduce the misconception of what sub this is I will work on a monthly Society update that will be stuck to the top of the posts. I'll be gleaming this from the blog posts, VO Discord, updates to the sub and suggestions from the sub. Here is the link to the Paizo Monthly Update blog post.

May 2024 Organized Play Monthly Update

Thursday, May 2, 2024

OPC Musings
At the time you’re likely reading this, I probably feel terrible! I’m having my tonsils removed two days before this blog is published. Everyone keeps telling me I can eat all the ice cream I want, which is true, but I’m an adult now. I have to buy the ice cream myself, and that takes some of the fun out of it! Luckily, I have a wonderful husband to take care of me, and I’ll be back up and running just in time for convention season!
Speaking of… I’ve got quite the travel schedule this summer: PaizoCon in late May, Origins in mid-June, and then a quick turnaround to go to the ALA Expo with our Community Manager a few days later. I’ll have a few weeks of rest in July and then it’s off to Gen Con and PaizoCon Europe in August! Hopefully my cats will remember me by the time I’m back.
Before we jump into the blog, I want to shout out the Mox Gauntlet! Team Paizo is raising money for charity and participating in this annual board game tournament. If you donate to me you can get cat pics, a Harrow reading, or even a one-shot GMed by me! You can learn more and donate on my participant page here. Digital Adventure Releases
These adventures will be available on May 29, 2024. Most of these will be playable at PaizoCon prior to their release date!

On our livestream last month, we announced the first major god who will die in the upcoming War of Immortals meta-event. Obviously, this death will have an impact on the Pathfinder Society campaign. Developer Josh Foster wrote a blog to talk about the exact rules surrounding the god’s death; check it out here! Sanctioning Updates
The sanctioning machine is back in full swing! Last month we posted sanctioning for the EditSignSeven Dooms for Sandpoint Adventure PathEditSign, as well as the brand-new Tian Xia World Guide!
We’re hard at work on the major May releases, Howl of the Wild and Mechageddon! We aim to have them both ready for PaizoCon so you can play your new awakened animals and centaurs right away. GMs, prepare to make the hallways larger!
After that, it’ll be pretty quiet until July, when Player Core 2 crashes in for Gen Con and the Tian Xia Character Guidefollows a mere month later. Hope you’re all ready! GM Recognition
GM Ranks
Whether stars, novas, or glyphs, achieving a 5 ranking in any program involves a substantial amount of time. To achieve the 5th milestone, a GM must run 150 games, of which at least 50 must be unique scenarios and 10 special scenarios as well as run between one and three games for venture-captains (program dependent). A conservative estimate of the time needed to reach the 5th milestone is 650 hours!
This month, we had one GM earn their 5th rank!
