2024.06.04 16:01 Infinite-Barracuda97 DEWALT DWE7491RS Review: The Table Saw That'll Make You Question Your Life Choices
 | submitted by Infinite-Barracuda97 to carverscave [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/rng2vqfewc4d1.jpg?width=1792&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d93fd62fbd1070a3d26060b6900dae6e60159357 Ever had that moment where you look at a tool and think, "Damn, why didn't I buy this sooner?" Well, strap in, because the DEWALT DWE7491RS is about to make you feel that way. And maybe question a few other things about your existence while you're at it. š BEST PRICE on the DEWALT DWE7491RS: https://amzn.to/3Qlc12Z š This ain't your grandpappy's table saw. DEWALT, the brand that's been building stuff to withstand the apocalypse since before you were born, has managed to create a jobsite table saw that's a beautiful contradiction. It's rugged enough to handle the kind of abuse that would make lesser tools weep, yet it's precise enough to satisfy the most neurotic woodworker. First ImpressionThe first time I laid eyes on this thing, I'll admit, I was skeptical. It's compact, almost cute, like a yellow submarine ready to explore the depths of your workshop.But then I fired it up, and it was like a chihuahua turning into a rabid wolverine. The 15-amp motor roared to life with a guttural growl that sent shivers down my spine, and I knew I was dealing with something serious. This DEWALT table saw isn't just a tool; it's a rolling arsenal of woodworking power, a portable altar to the gods of creation and destruction. The rack and pinion fence glides like it's on rails, locking down with the kind of satisfying thunk that makes you want to rip through a stack of plywood just for the hell of it. The onboard storage is surprisingly well-thought-out, keeping your blades and tools within reach (because who wants to be hunting for a wrench when they're in the zone?) Key FeaturesPower and Precision: The 15-amp motor laughs in the face of hardwood, chewing through it like a starving dog on a T-bone steak. The 32-1/2-inch rip capacity means you can tackle those big sheets without breaking a sweat (or your back, which is important when you're no longer a spring chicken).Portability: This thing folds up and rolls around like a shopping cart on steroids. Perfect for the jobsite or if your workshop is the size of a closet (no judgment, we've all been there). And with its sturdy roll cage, it'll survive even the bumpiest ride in the back of your truck. Dust Collection: DEWALT claims their dust collection system is the best on the market. I'm not one to argue. It's surprisingly effective, keeping your workspace (relatively) clean and your lungs free of the fine particles that turn men into coughing, wheezing shadows of their former selves. Safety Features: This saw isn't just about power; it's about protecting your fleshy bits. The onboard blade guard and anti-kickback pawls are there to make sure you keep all your fingers. ProsBuilt Like a Tank: Seriously, this thing could probably survive a nuclear blast. It's the kind of tool you could pass down to your grandkids, assuming they're not a bunch of entitled brats who only care about their avocado toast and Instagram likes.Accurate Cuts: The fence system and miter gauge are surprisingly precise, even for the most anal-retentive woodworkers. You could split a hair with this thing, if you were so inclined (and had a very steady hand). Versatile: Whether you're building a deck, crafting a fine piece of furniture, or just looking for an excuse to unleash your inner destruction, this saw can handle it. It's the Swiss Army knife of table saws, minus the toothpick and tweezers. ConsWeight: This thing is a beast, and it can be a bit of a pain to lug around if you're not built like a linebacker or fueled by enough caffeine to kill a small horse.Price: It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Quality tools ain't free, kids. Noise: This thing is loud. Like, wake-the-neighbors loud. Ear protection is a must unless you want to spend your golden years yelling "What?" at everyone you meet. Final ThoughtsThe DEWALT DWE7491RS is not for the faint of heart.It's a powerful, precise tool that demands respect, like a wild mustang or a femme fatale with a penchant for power tools. If you're a serious DIYer, a contractor, or just someone who likes to build stuff that doesn't fall apart the moment you look at it funny, this saw is worth every penny. And if you want to get your hands on this bad boy, I've already found you the best deal, so be sure to follow the link (https://amzn.to/3Qlc12Z) so you don't get gouged paying full retail. |
2024.06.04 09:11 Less_Mirror_5210 Emma and the Word of Wisdom
Iāve got a question that Iām hoping the group can help me with. Iād always been told that the word of wisdom came about because Emma complained to Joseph about men spitting tobacco on the floor that she had to clean up and that she thought it would be nice if there were to be a revelation from God to help with it.
I thought I heard somewhere that back then, men chewed tobacco and drank alcohol when they got together to socialize. I also heard that tea and coffee were considered women's drinks back then, and they would drink them when they got together to visit.
I remember someone putting forth the theory that Joseph added the hot drinks to the word of wisdom as a jab at Emma for making him prohibit tobacco and alcohol, so he essentially took away something the women liked to punish them for taking away something they liked and to discourage the women from getting together to talk.
Does anyone know if thereās anything to corroborate this? Or is it just a theory?

2024.06.04 08:22 Muffingirl19 My boyfriend gets angry way too easily at times am I in the wrong for being embarrassed?
Sorry if this is a little all over the place itās late at night and this is the first time Iāve ever submitted a story not only in this thread but in general.So me (18 Fm) and my boyfriend (19 m) have been dating for a year and a little bit over a month at this point.
Iām very much in love with him heās kind,caring,sweet,thoughtful,handsome,funny,and everything Iāve wanted basically (Minus the fact that he vapes too often thatās the main thing that bothers me other than his lack of emotional control).
He truly is great it doesnāt even bother me that he is in a rough spot right now currently doesnāt have a job,or a car,or really a place to live hence him basically living with me which I think is great because I get to spend more time with him which for the most part has been great until about a week ago,but the situation that first got me aggravated I wonāt be speaking about in this story.
Yesterday/two days ago-ish it was my grandpas birthday celebration we were playing D&D (Dungeon and Dragons) together and it was going pretty okay until suddenly my bf that being his first time playing the game asked a question that I immediately tried to shut down which quickly aggravated him especially because most of the other people playing started sharing all of their opinions at the exact same time which overwhelmed him causing him to raise his voice,me getting pissed over him overacting at least in my and almost everyone elseās opinion immediately meekly tried to tell him to calm down a few different times to try to save myself the embarrassment which unfortunately didnāt work because he got on another trip of feeling the need to be heard and respected which I understand but I didnāt think the situation was that serious.
At my grandparents house in private I told him how disrespectful it was of him to do that especially at my grandpas birthday celebration which for all we know could be his last birthday and I spent some of it feeling ashamed,not to mention at home I chewed into him about it even more making him yell back at me and even cry,(although my grandpa is known for being disrespectful even to his wife who happens to be my beautiful lovely grandma and women in general and does definitely have some narcissistic traits I will give my boyfriend that knowing that he did have some sort of reason and some sort of bottled up emotions as to why he lashed out not to mention his own personal issues heās still trying to work through),however still in my opinion he could have handled the situation way better.
This also isnāt regarding the fact that this isnāt his first emotionally outburst thanks to his childhood trauma of never feeling seen or heard.I feel like iām being pretty understanding especially because I loved him through some of his darkest time and yet I still get disrespected by him raising his voice over something so stupid that could have easily been let go not to mention earlier today him almost storming off and doing more yelling and crying and almost embarrassing a two handful more times after I expressed to him that even his actions outside of this situation lately have been in poor taste.
I understand his point of view on why he does everything he does but his actions are just so beyond ridiculous itās not even funny like I swear sometimes he doesnāt think and just acts which has gotten him in trouble a multitude of times so am I in the wrong for being embarrassed by most of his actions lately? I mean almost everything had been fine until a week ago because we had worked through a lot of the old issues and were in a much healthier and happy place.
I also would like to think that we have great communication cause weāve actively been working on it throughout our whole entire relationship so I donāt know why some of this childish behavior has to happen I just so badly want everyone to get along and it seems like every couple weeks thereās a new reason as to why someone doesnāt get along with someone else (not even always involving my boyfriend just family members acting irrationally) and Iām just so exhausted trying to calm everyone down and make everything okay itās just really causing a lot of resentment for me because it feels like Iāve been doing that for the longest time so any advice? Feel free to ask more questions Iām practically an open book.Much love to Morgan,Justin,and everyone else involved in the podcast that help feed my listening to people read Reddit stories addiction,I love the content truly!!

2024.06.03 23:21 Throwing-in-trash My friend completely changed in a few months time, and I feel like I donāt know him anymore.
(Sorry if my formatting is weird, Iām on mobile. Also, if my grammar sucks, it was truly my worst subject in school. I also posted this on trueoffmychest, but Iām genuinely looking for advice with everything given.)
I met my friends Noah and Liam at the beginning of college, weāre now going into 3rd year. It honestly took some time to get Liam to come out of his shell, but once he did, we were all genuinely really good friends. He was honestly a really down to earth guy, understanding, and funny. However, as the title gives, things honestly went downhill. First off, I am diagnosed autistic (relevant to the story) but most people donāt know unless I tell them. One of my biggest things is that I NEVER use it as an excuse if I hurt someone. I feel thatās on me to apologize.
In February, Liam stopped going to therapy. This wasnāt his fault, and was truly an issue he couldnāt resolve. However, he started failing to function properly. It started off small; suddenly wanting to schedule everything, taking time to make more friends, talking to Noah and I less, etc. Thatās okay! Life happens and we knew be was busy! We barely saw Liam for about three months, but one of the times we saw him- he had a sudden meltdown on us. About how lonely he is, and that he doesnāt like being in his dorm alone.
This was the first time we heard about this and it was coming out in a hyperventilating manner. It honestly terrified us, and we had to learn from a different person that he felt this way for a while. Things definitely felt tense for a while, as we didnāt know if it would happen again. However, we missed Liam and asked to talk. In this talk we expressed that we never saw him anymore, texted to hangout with no response, and felt uncomfortable with what had happened. His response was that he never even noticed we felt uncomfortable, and that heās making more friends- and that we have to deal with that.
Noah and I have plenty of friends, and would never want someone to feel like they couldnāt have other friends. However, it was a bit hurtful how much he brushed us off. After that, things got difficult. Noah and I got busy with our major, even telling Liam weāre super busy. Suddenly, when we were too busy to ask to hangout it was an issue. āYou guys never invite me to hangout. Why canāt you invite me to sit while you do projects? I never see you guys.ā
Then came more meltdowns; we donāt text him enough, he barely sees us, his other friends will hangout with him. He started asking us to schedule a time on his calendar to talk about scheduling a time to hangout. Then asked to calculate days in the week where- if we donāt physically see each other, we text more. If we donāt text, we talk in person more. If we didnāt, we got compared to his other friends who do that for him. It seemed like no matter what we did, we were doing it wrong.
When we did hangout, our time didnāt matter to him. Liam and I scheduled to hangout around 7:30? Well, we actually hung out at 9 because he had so many things to do. I expressed that I was upset and got, āWell, I donāt really know what to do. I needed to do those things.ā
He asked Noah to hangout, who had work. He offered to let Liam hangout with him at work. āWell, I donāt want to hangout when itās convenient to you.ā
Then he started snapping at us when we did hangout. He doesnāt know what we mean by saying things, maybe we havenāt been noticing his changes heās made. But then he would say he doesnāt understand what we like, so he doesnāt really care. We would express that it hurt, but get an apology with a hundred excuses to why itās okay he said that.
It then spread to more people, where he snapped at an RA. When the RA apologized if she said something rude, āOh well, Iām autistic. So maybe I just didnāt understand your tone.ā
Liam is not diagnosed autistic, nor has a professional told him that he shows traits. I personally think itās okay to suspect you may have a disability. But you donāt use it as an excuse??
We only had one person we were talking to about this, Noahās mom whoās a behavioral specialist. She assured us werenāt not doing anything wrong, and that things are irrational because Liam has been off therapy for months. When we would bring up the idea of returning to therapy, he responded with, āOh, well I fixed those problems. Iām fine.ā
Finally, we sat Liam down to have a genuine discussion about all of this. About how hurt we were in this. He admitted to all of it, filled with tears from him. Admitting that he didnāt take our feelings seriously in the beginning, he only noticed when it happened to him, he had been snapping at us, he pulled away first, etc.
We told him we really encourage him to seek help again. And he agreed.
Now comes to today. Long story short is that my family has never been close, my mom suddenly downsized and I couldnāt live at home anymore. I had no other family to go to. Noahās family was kind enough to let me stay, and I am so grateful for it. (Relevant)
However, Liam has suddenly regressed in age. Since telling people heās autistic; he doesnāt understand jokes anymore, he needs giant headphones now, he needs all these chews, he even talks like a child. (He called something āBig stupidā over text. Which was out of character?)
He rants to us that we donāt understand how lonely he is, and that Noah and I get to see each other everyday. The reason that is, might be because I donāt have a home? We didnāt decide we were going to live with each other to make him jealous?? I have no family, and to me that feels so lonely. Some days I wish I had what everyone else does, like what Liam has. Noah had to cut off some family, and thatās been hard on him. Family he loved so much.
But no. Liam is lonely, and we donāt understand.
Before all of this started, Noah, Liam, and I all signed a lease for an apartment. Now Noah and I have been looking into changing. We donāt know what to do anymore. Itās much more expensive, but this is so exhausting. Even Noahās therapist suggested changing our lease.
Liam wants a cat, Noah is allergic. Thatās all good, just find a hypoallergenic breed! āOh well, does it have to be hypoallergenic?ā
YES?? Noah is not paying rent for an apartment to live with an animal heās allergic to??
We havenāt spoken to any friends about it, because we truly donāt want to drag them into this. But I donāt know how much more we can handle.
Iām all open ears if maybe thereās a way we can still help, or if this is something we need to walk away from. Thanks for listening to my rant. This feels like some 2020 behavior, and I am so sick of it. But I genuinely miss my friend.

2024.06.03 23:18 knawshaw Letter from 1860: Life in Pittsburgh on Carson Street
Just got through a transcription of the SĆ¼tterlin text and am working on a readable translation of a letter I found in Germany. The author wrote a letter home in German describing his life in Pittsburgh in 1860. The letterhead had a cool set images from Pittsburgh. Yes, the author did use many run on sentences, and the wording was not always ideal, but I think the intent and content comes through. Edit note: He lived at what is now 1019 Carson St.
Enjoy!
Birmingham June 11, 1860
https://preview.redd.it/ftggbl599f4d1.jpg?width=2609&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b920c07180a9da4c07cc1eda7cb0cf429d2b8c50
Dear parents and brothers and sisters,
I hope that my letter finds you all still in good health and well. I have wanted to write to you for a long time, but we wanted to buy a property here first and that did not happen until last winter. On January 23, 1860, we bought a nice house here in Birmingham, where we have lived the entire time; we have sometimes thought of trying another place, but we are now quite glad that we have remained here. We have a very nice place here, if we only stay healthy. It cost just a thousand dollars, but it's very cheap, because we've had people here who couldn't believe it when they heard that this house had been sold so cheaply; we've already been offered 12 hundred, but we don't want to sell it, and we could get a hundred and twenty dollars a year if we wanted to rent it out, but we like living in it ourselves, I'll also write to you about how it's built, it is built of brick, and under the house is a large cellar, which is built of quarry stone. The house has four rooms and an attic room, the four rooms are wallpapered, and one of the front rooms has gas lighting. Before us, a tailor lived in the house, he had a clothing store. In the front room there is a store, there is also a small house behind the big one, where I now work. I've now started another business, not just now, but three years ago, because I didn't really like making cigars anymore. The tobacco suddenly became so expensive and the cigars didn't sell so well. There are so many German cigars coming in now too, so I gave it up and started weaving carpets, I like that quite a lot now, I can sell everything in turn, I make different kinds, I sell the best ones for 54 cents a piece, a hundred cents is a dollar, these carpets are made from willow slats, the slats are cut into narrow strips, The rugs are cut into narrow strips of fabric, they are made of cotton yarn, they are twisted like knitting yarn. Rugs are an article that is used a lot here, they are used to cover the parlor floors; it is a good thing for the women, because they save on washing the parlor. The rugs are also on the stairs, everything is nicely arranged here, just to spare the women, they are not allowed to do anything; When you come into a house here, they sit in the rocking chair, have the newspaper in their hands and rock back and forth, that's most of the work or fun for the natives.
Business has been pretty good this spring, a lot of houses are being built here in Birmingham and Pittsburg, and a lot of factories too. Two years ago a new bridge was built across the river from here, now there are two bridges, a railroad has also been laid from Pittsburg through Birmingham, it has been in operation since the New Year and passes by our house. The railroad only goes from Pittsburg over the bridge and through Birmingham and no further, it does not carry any freight, but rather it is only for the people to work ... if you have something to do in Pittsburg, or Pittsburg people in Birmingham. So you can ride like walking back and forth, it only costs 5 cents a person, i.e. back and forth, the cars are pulled by two horses, there are 7 cars on the railroad, the cars are long and have low wheels and are beautifully painted on the outside and the seats inside are upholstered with red brown velvet, it is very nice to ride in them. On Sundays or when there is a festival somewhere here, they are always so full that you can't get in, they go every day from 6 o'clock in the morning until 11 o'clock in the evening. Each wagon is special and each one has two horses in front.
We hope for a good harvest, the outlook is excellent, the newspapers write from all areas that the harvest is good everywhere. Last year was not the best, because in June last year everything was almost frozen again, in one night. Well, as far as our family is concerned, thank God we are all quite healthy and well, our family has not yet multiplied again, three years ago we had two twins, they were both sons, but they both died. One lived for three days and the other for seven days, they were both weak from birth- my wife had always been ill for a long time before, and with the children she got typhoid.
I was not in a good place, the first four days I hadn't had a minute's sleep, on the fifth day the doctor asked me if I had slept. This time, I had to answer no, then he told me: "Tonight you can also lie down for a few hours when your wife has fallen asleep.ā
But he ordered me not to keep the children in the bedroom if they were restless, so that my wife would not be disturbed, otherwise it would be dangerous with the powder she was to be given, and he also ordered me that when I had given her the powder, I should always put her hands under the comforter if she did not do it herself.
Well, even if I put them under her, she put them out again, and then I was to wash her hands with camphor brandy to warm them, for she was already quite cold all over. Well, I did everything as the doctor had told me to do, as I had washed one of her arms properly and ... rubbed it, and I reached for the other, and she began to speak again, and said I should not rub her arm so much, she had a funny thing on her elbow, it hurt her so much, but then I was so glad that she was still alive, for I did not know if she was already dead or whether she was dying, for she was cold.
On the eighth day the doctor told me again that tonight would probably be the last night, so I asked him if he had any hope at all, and he replied that it was approaching the ninth day and she was too emaciated. I was downcast too, because I always thought I would get her well again, so she asked me, "Did the doctor tell you anything about me?ā Then I told her what he had said, for it didnāt matter now, and she began and said in a slightly stronger voice that she felt a little better, perhaps she could get well again after all! When the doctor came the next morning, he immediately asked how she was doing and felt her pulse. His answer was that the fever had subsided, he offered us some reassurance again and she gradually got better. She still had many relapses and she continued to have them for almost a whole year until she became quite strong again. The doctor, pharmacy and funeral had cost us a lot of money, but now we have recovered.
Our two girls go to school every day, the schoolhouse is near where we live now, you can see it on the picture of Birmingham on the right corner near the new bridge, which is also depicted on the schoolhouse.... white dome without a spire and there is a clock on it. I want to make a point where our house is roughly located, the street where the railroad cars go is not visible on the picture, otherwise I could show you our house more precisely. The street is called Main Street, it goes through Birmingham like the river next to Birmingham. Well, I must close, because it's getting to be evening, and I'd like to say hello from my son and daughter-in-law and our two children Anna and Emilie, who often argue with each other. Emilie thinks she has already seen you, and Anna disagrees, you haven't seen grandfather and grandmother yet, but I have. Has Wilhelm gotten married yet? Let us know when you write to us. Also, say hello to Sehnes, Millers from RoĆwein, Spindlers and Polster in Bƶhrigen and all our acquaintances.

Birmingham June 11, 1860

Dear parents and brothers and sisters,
I hope that my letter finds you all still in good health and well. I have wanted to write to you for a long time, but we wanted to buy a property here first and that did not happen until last winter. On January 23, 1860, we bought a nice house here in Birmingham, where we have lived the entire time; we have sometimes thought of trying another place, but we are now quite glad that we have remained here. We have a very nice place here, if we only stay healthy. It cost just a thousand dollars, but it's very cheap, because we've had people here who couldn't believe it when they heard that this house had been sold so cheaply; we've already been offered 12 hundred, but we don't want to sell it, and we could get a hundred and twenty dollars a year if we wanted to rent it out, but we like living in it ourselves, I'll also write to you about how it's built, it is built of brick, and under the house is a large cellar, which is built of quarry stone. The house has four rooms and an attic room, the four rooms are wallpapered, and one of the front rooms has gas lighting. Before us, a tailor lived in the house, he had a clothing store. In the front room there is a store, there is also a small house behind the big one, where I now work. I've now started another business, not just now, but three years ago, because I didn't really like making cigars anymore. The tobacco suddenly became so expensive and the cigars didn't sell so well. There are so many German cigars coming in now too, so I gave it up and started weaving carpets, I like that quite a lot now, I can sell everything in turn, I make different kinds, I sell the best ones for 54 cents a piece, a hundred cents is a dollar, these carpets are made from willow slats, the slats are cut into narrow strips, The rugs are cut into narrow strips of fabric, they are made of cotton yarn, they are twisted like knitting yarn. Rugs are an article that is used a lot here, they are used to cover the parlor floors; it is a good thing for the women, because they save on washing the parlor. The rugs are also on the stairs, everything is nicely arranged here, just to spare the women, they are not allowed to do anything; When you come into a house here, they sit in the rocking chair, have the newspaper in their hands and rock back and forth, that's most of the work or fun for the natives.
Business has been pretty good this spring, a lot of houses are being built here in Birmingham and Pittsburg, and a lot of factories too. Two years ago a new bridge was built across the river from here, now there are two bridges, a railroad has also been laid from Pittsburg through Birmingham, it has been in operation since the New Year and passes by our house. The railroad only goes from Pittsburg over the bridge and through Birmingham and no further, it does not carry any freight, but rather it is only for the people to work ... if you have something to do in Pittsburg, or Pittsburg people in Birmingham. So you can ride like walking back and forth, it only costs 5 cents a person, i.e. back and forth, the cars are pulled by two horses, there are 7 cars on the railroad, the cars are long and have low wheels and are beautifully painted on the outside and the seats inside are upholstered with red brown velvet, it is very nice to ride in them. On Sundays or when there is a festival somewhere here, they are always so full that you can't get in, they go every day from 6 o'clock in the morning until 11 o'clock in the evening. Each wagon is special and each one has two horses in front.
We hope for a good harvest, the outlook is excellent, the newspapers write from all areas that the harvest is good everywhere.

2024.06.03 22:51 jleardini The Benefits of Fresh Foods For Dogs
This episode is near and dear to my heart. Jen is talking to Dr. Jennifer Kwon from Just Food For Dogs.
Dr. Kwon describes the benefits of fresh food as opposed to kibble. She seems to say that most, if not all, of kibble would actually fall into the āfeedā category rather than food. Feed does not typically have refrigerated logistics and during the extrusion process the kibble is exposed to high heat which can āradically diminish any of the nutritional contentā according to Dr. Kwon.
The benefits that Dr. Kwon speaks of are healthier coat, overall vitality, better digestive health and an increased amount of energy for your dog.
Iād actually heard that kibble is a causer of cancer due to the high temps that the extruded kibble was exposed to. Dr. Kwon doesnāt address that so maybe that isnāt completely true but I feel like itās directionally accurate.
There are 13 Flagship Just Food For Dogs Kitchens across the country that allow customers to see how the food is cooked on site. In addition to this, if you talk to a person from the company, they arenāt just a hired hand. They are a āNutrition Consultantā that can help because the needs of every dog are different.
Some fun quotes that came out of this episode: āMore lives, more loveā āFresh food is better for dogs than kibbleā
A funny aspect of this episode is that, during the last 4-5 minutes of Jens podcast we hear her dog, Buffy, going to town on her chew bone. Haha.
If you want a discount on Just Food For Dogs, there is a promo code of WAKE10 that will work through the end of the month.

2024.06.03 21:20 Throwing-in-trash My friend completely changed in a few months time, and I feel like I donāt know him anymore.
(Sorry if my formatting is weird, Iām on mobile. Also, if my grammar sucks, it was truly my worst subject in school.)
I met my friends Noah and Liam at the beginning of college, weāre now going into 3rd year. It honestly took some time to get Liam to come out of his shell, but once he did, we were all genuinely really good friends. He was honestly a really down to earth guy, understanding, and funny. However, as the title gives, things honestly went downhill. First off, I am diagnosed autistic (relevant to the story) but most people donāt know unless I tell them. One of my biggest things is that I NEVER use it as an excuse if I hurt someone. I feel thatās on me to apologize.
In February, Liam stopped going to therapy. This wasnāt his fault, and was truly an issue he couldnāt resolve. However, he started failing to function properly. It started off small; suddenly wanting to schedule everything, taking time to make more friends, talking to Noah and I less, etc. Thatās okay! Life happens and we knew be was busy! We barely saw Liam for about three months, but one of the times we saw him- he had a sudden meltdown on us. About how lonely he is, and that he doesnāt like being in his dorm alone.
This was the first time we heard about this and it was coming out in a hyperventilating manner. It honestly terrified us, and we had to learn from a different person that he felt this way for a while. Things definitely felt tense for a while, as we didnāt know if it would happen again. However, we missed Liam and asked to talk. In this talk we expressed that we never saw him anymore, texted to hangout with no response, and felt uncomfortable with what had happened. His response was that he never even noticed we felt uncomfortable, and that heās making more friends- and that we have to deal with that.
Noah and I have plenty of friends, and would never want someone to feel like they couldnāt have other friends. However, it was a bit hurtful how much he brushed us off. After that, things got difficult. Noah and I got busy with our major, even telling Liam weāre super busy. Suddenly, when we were too busy to ask to hangout it was an issue. āYou guys never invite me to hangout. Why canāt you invite me to sit while you do projects? I never see you guys.ā
Then came more meltdowns; we donāt text him enough, he barely sees us, his other friends will hangout with him. He started asking us to schedule a time on his calendar to talk about scheduling a time to hangout. Then asked to calculate days in the week where- if we donāt physically see each other, we text more. If we donāt text, we talk in person more. If we didnāt, we got compared to his other friends who do that for him. It seemed like no matter what we did, we were doing it wrong.
When we did hangout, our time didnāt matter to him. Liam and I scheduled to hangout around 7:30? Well, we actually hung out at 9 because he had so many things to do. I expressed that I was upset and got, āWell, I donāt really know what to do. I needed to do those things.ā
He asked Noah to hangout, who had work. He offered to let Liam hangout with him at work. āWell, I donāt want to hangout when itās convenient to you.ā
Then he started snapping at us when we did hangout. He doesnāt know what we mean by saying things, maybe we havenāt been noticing his changes heās made. But then he would say he doesnāt understand what we like, so he doesnāt really care. We would express that it hurt, but get an apology with a hundred excuses to why itās okay he said that.
It then spread to more people, where he snapped at an RA. When the RA apologized if she said something rude, āOh well, Iām autistic. So maybe I just didnāt understand your tone.ā
Liam is not diagnosed autistic, nor has a professional told him that he shows traits. I personally think itās okay to suspect you may have a disability. But you donāt use it as an excuse??
We only had one person we were talking to about this, Noahās mom whoās a behavioral specialist. She assured us werenāt not doing anything wrong, and that things are irrational because Liam has been off therapy for months. When we would bring up the idea of returning to therapy, he responded with, āOh, well I fixed those problems. Iām fine.ā
Finally, we sat Liam down to have a genuine discussion about all of this. About how hurt we were in this. He admitted to all of it, filled with tears from him. Admitting that he didnāt take our feelings seriously in the beginning, he only noticed when it happened to him, he had been snapping at us, he pulled away first, etc.
We told him we really encourage him to seek help again. And he agreed.
Now comes to today. Long story short is that my family has never been close, my mom suddenly downsized and I couldnāt live at home anymore. I had no other family to go to. Noahās family was kind enough to let me stay, and I am so grateful for it. (Relevant)
However, Liam has suddenly regressed in age. Since telling people heās autistic; he doesnāt understand jokes anymore, he needs giant headphones now, he needs all these chews, he even talks like a child. (He called something āBig stupidā over text. Which was out of character?)
He rants to us that we donāt understand how lonely he is, and that Noah and I get to see each other everyday. The reason that is, might be because I donāt have a home? We didnāt decide we were going to live with each other to make him jealous?? I have no family, and to me that feels so lonely. Some days I wish I had what everyone else does, like what Liam has. Noah had to cut off some family, and thatās been hard on him. Family he loved so much.
But no. Liam is lonely, and we donāt understand.
Before all of this started, Noah, Liam, and I all signed a lease for an apartment. Now Noah and I have been looking into changing. We donāt know what to do anymore. Itās much more expensive, but this is so exhausting. Even Noahās therapist suggested changing our lease.
Liam wants a cat, Noah is allergic. Thatās all good, just find a hypoallergenic breed! āOh well, does it have to be hypoallergenic?ā
YES?? Noah is not paying rent for an apartment to live with an animal heās allergic to??
We havenāt spoken to any friends about it, because we truly donāt want to drag them into this. But I donāt know how much more we can handle.
Iām all open ears if maybe thereās a way we can still help, or if this is something we need to walk away from. Thanks for listening to my rant. This feels like some 2020 behavior, and I am so sick of it. But I genuinely miss my friend.

2024.06.03 20:49 Royal-Blueberry9998 Cat with Pica
Hello! I have a cat, Mario, who has pica. It's been a whole ordeal ever since he's had free roam of the house (we've had him since birth, ~2 years ago). He's always been funny when it comes to food. He was even the last to come off the nipple.
For the last 2 years, we've noticed Mario pukes at least once every other week or so. That puke often had whole pieces of food, so we figured maybe he was eating too fast and when he jumped down from the dresser (where the food is located) it would come up. Mario acts normal otherwise so we didn't think anything of it.
Fastforward to a few weeks ago. We've been trying a new food with Mario to see if maybe the other food was upsetting his stomach. At first, Mario was excited to eat new food. The first couple of bites went down great, but as he kept eating I noticed more and more small pieces of food falling from his mouth. Once that started he'd quickly become uninterested in eating any more and would walk away.
Today, I had an idea. Maybe he just doesn't like chewing hard food? With his pica, he was often seeking out soft cords to chew on, which we have since wrapped with a harder plastic that he is not interested in chewing.
So, I got a can of cat food for him and he seemed to be much happier while he ate.
My question is.. is this a thing? Do cats with pica tend to prefer softer foods? What is the best canned cat food I can buy for him without breaking the bank? (We have 7 cats total and currently have them on ProPlan Urinary dry catfood due to previous issues with one of our other cats).

2024.06.03 19:56 Exotic_Character_108 How accurate is that rabies copypasta?
the one where its like:
submitted by Exotic_Character_108 to rabies [link] [comments]
Rabies. It's exceptionally common, but people just don't run into the animals that carry it often. Skunks especially, and bats.Mainly, are the symptoms really this bad? It seems so unbelievably horrific.
Let me paint you a picture.
You go camping, and at midday you decide to take a nap in a nice little hammock. While sleeping, a tiny brown bat, in the "rage" stages of infection is fidgeting in broad daylight, uncomfortable, and thirsty (due to the hydrophobia) and you snort, startling him. He goes into attack mode.
Except you're asleep, and he's a little brown bat, so weighs around 6 grams. You don't even feel him land on your bare knee, and he starts to bite. His teeth are tiny. Hardly enough to even break the skin, but he does manage to give you the equivalent of a tiny scrape that goes completely unnoticed.
Rabies does not travel in your blood. In fact, a blood test won't even tell you if you've got it. (Antibody tests may be done, but are useless if you've ever been vaccinated.)
You wake up, none the wiser. If you notice anything at the bite site at all, you assume you just lightly scraped it on something.
The bomb has been lit, and your nervous system is the wick. The rabies will multiply along your nervous system, doing virtually no damage, and completely undetectable. You literally have NO symptoms.
It may be four days, it may be a year, but the camping trip is most likely long forgotten. Then one day your back starts to ache... Or maybe you get a slight headache?
At this point, you're already dead. There is no cure.
(The sole caveat to this is the Milwaukee Protocol, which leaves most patients dead anyway, and the survivors mentally disabled, and is seldom done).
There's no treatment. It has a 100% kill rate.
Absorb that. Not a single other virus on the planet has a 100% kill rate. Only rabies. And once you're symptomatic, it's over. You're dead.
So what does that look like?
Your headache turns into a fever, and a general feeling of being unwell. You're fidgety. Uncomfortable. And scared. As the virus that has taken its time getting into your brain finds a vast network of nerve endings, it begins to rapidly reproduce, starting at the base of your brain... Where your "pons" is located. This is the part of the brain that controls communication between the rest of the brain and body, as well as sleep cycles.
Next you become anxious. You still think you have only a mild fever, but suddenly you find yourself becoming scared, even horrified, and it doesn't occur to you that you don't know why. This is because the rabies is chewing up your amygdala.
As your cerebellum becomes hot with the virus, you begin to lose muscle coordination, and balance. You think maybe it's a good idea to go to the doctor now, but assuming a doctor is smart enough to even run the tests necessary in the few days you have left on the planet, odds are they'll only be able to tell your loved ones what you died of later.
You're twitchy, shaking, and scared. You have the normal fear of not knowing what's going on, but with the virus really fucking the amygdala this is amplified a hundred fold. It's around this time the hydrophobia starts.
You're horribly thirsty, you just want water. But you can't drink. Every time you do, your throat clamps shut and you vomit. This has become a legitimate, active fear of water. You're thirsty, but looking at a glass of water begins to make you gag, and shy back in fear. The contradiction is hard for your hot brain to see at this point. By now, the doctors will have to put you on IVs to keep you hydrated, but even that's futile. You were dead the second you had a headache.
You begin hearing things, or not hearing at all as your thalamus goes. You taste sounds, you see smells, everything starts feeling like the most horrifying acid trip anyone has ever been on. With your hippocampus long under attack, you're having trouble remembering things, especially family.
You're alone, hallucinating, thirsty, confused, and absolutely, undeniably terrified. Everything scares the literal shit out of you at this point. These strange people in lab coats. These strange people standing around your bed crying, who keep trying to get you "drink something" and crying. And it's only been about a week since that little headache that you've completely forgotten. Time means nothing to you anymore. Funny enough, you now know how the bat felt when he bit you.
Eventually, you slip into the "dumb rabies" phase. Your brain has started the process of shutting down. Too much of it has been turned to liquid virus. Your face droops. You drool. You're all but unaware of what's around you. A sudden noise or light might startle you, but for the most part, it's all you can do to just stare at the ground. You haven't really slept for about 72 hours.
Then you die. Always, you die.
And there's not one... fucking... thing... anyone can do for you.
Then there's the question of what to do with your corpse. I mean, sure, burying it is the right thing to do. But the fucking virus can survive in a corpse for years. You could kill every rabid animal on the planet today, and if two years from now, some moist, preserved, rotten hunk of used-to-be brain gets eaten by an animal, it starts all over.
So yeah, rabies scares the shit out of me. And it's fucking EVERYWHERE. (Source: Spent a lot of time working with rabies. Would still get my vaccinations if I could afford them.)
2024.06.03 19:14 FroopyMcDoopy 46 [M4F] #Houston, Texas; Oddly Healthy Tattooer seeks Kind, Funny, Brilliant Redhead Lady
How's it going? Thanks for checking out my post. Here goes...
About me: I was a ditch digger, then a trombonist, then a motorcycle mechanic, then an Air Force avionics technician, then a college art teacher, before becoming a tattoo artist and opening my own studio.
I'm a vegetarian (not for ethical reasons) since 1993, I walk 3 miles every day, I haven't had any alcohol since 1980, and I've never used tobacco/smoked anything (including weed). Totally down for responsible psychedelic use though. š
I enjoy cooking, taking twice daily tea, attending concerts/museums/galleries, accompanying my goofy affectionate pitbull to the dog park, taking hot baths, making art with my friends, designing and building electromechanical clocks, afternoon naps, listening to podcasts (OTM is my favorite), visiting parks/thrift stores, vintage film photography, admiring hand embroidery...
Seeking: an ideally long-term relationship with a kind, funny, brilliant, honest, svelte redhead woman who's into communicating and showing up regularly, going on adventures together, co-equal nurturing and support. Bonus points if you like GlĆ¼cksschwein and/or Steely Dan, and if you'd care to accompany me for sunrise tea at Bryce Canyon.
Open to long-distance at first, but if things are going well, I'll want you to relocate to Houston sooner than later--my house, family, and business are here.
If you've read this far and are interested, what's something you've enjoyed creating lately?
DMs welcome :)

Treasure Chests found around the map can contain Magic Items. Each Survivor can equip up to two Magic Items at once: one pair of Boots and one pair of Gauntlets. These Magic Items are each connected to a specific Spell, and activate when The Lich casts that spell.
Rarely, Survivors can instead find the Hand or Eye of Vecna in a Treasure Chest. When picked up and used, Survivors gain a special ability while at full health. Using one of these special abilities costs the Survivor a health state and reveals their location with Killer Instinct for 3 seconds.

2024.06.03 14:15 impeach_mybush Encouraging words because Iām exhausted
My 7 month old puppy started slighting limping off/on for a week. It was so slight I wasnāt sure if she was even limping or just walking funny until I sent my friend who works with a dogs a video and she said it was a limp. Felt AWFUL for waiting a week to bring her to urgent care. Brought her to urgent care and she was super feisty (she was a street dog in Saint Croix the first 3 months of her life so shes a feisty girl) so they watched the video and did an exam as much as she would tolerate but no x rays because she would have to be sedated. They told me itās most likely a soft tissue injury and/or growing pains and gave me anti inflammatories and mild sedatives and told me to rest her for two weeks with minimal activity. Itās been 7 days. I havenāt seen her limp but I also havenāt really given her an opportunity to show me a limp because sheās mostly in her crate, my van or in the living room. Itās been BRUTAL. Even with the sedatives sheās super hyper. We do lick mats, kongs, chews, sniffle mats, treats wrapped in towels, anything she can tear apart, take her for drives, stationary training (like place work), I even took her to a brewery so she could people watch and took her camping with the van doors open so she could be in nature. I am completely exhausted and sheāll still try to do zoomies or play rough with her sister a couple times a day. I would love some encouraging words that sheāll hopefully be ok in two weeks because we were just getting into a groove with our lifestyle/training and this has really thrown us out of whack and I feel so bad constantly tell her no we canāt play fetch, sorry you have to go in your crate and no you canāt play with your sister. Iām stressing hard that after another week of this sheās still going to be limping. This is breaking my heart, for me and my girl.

What Causes Bad Breath?
Bad breath can be caused by a variety of factors, including:- Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can leave food particles in the mouth, leading to bacterial growth and bad odors.
- Diet: Certain foods like garlic, onions, and spices can contribute to bad breath.
- Dry Mouth: Saliva helps cleanse the mouth; a lack of saliva production can result in bad breath.
- Medical Conditions: Conditions such as sinus infections, respiratory tract infections, diabetes, and gastrointestinal issues can cause bad breath.
- Tobacco Products: Smoking or chewing tobacco can cause bad breath and increase the risk of gum disease.
Effective Bad Breath Prevention Strategies
Practice Good Oral Hygiene
- Brush Regularly: Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Pay special attention to brushing your tongue, as bacteria can accumulate there.
- Floss Daily: Flossing helps remove food particles and plaque between teeth, where a toothbrush cannot reach.
- Use Mouthwash: An antibacterial mouthwash can help reduce bacteria and freshen your breath.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water helps keep your mouth moist and washes away food particles and bacteria. Chewing sugar-free gum can also stimulate saliva production.Watch Your Diet
- Avoid Odorous Foods: Limit intake of foods known to cause bad breath, such as garlic, onions, and certain spices.
- Eat Crunchy Fruits and Vegetables: Foods like apples, carrots, and celery can help cleanse your teeth and freshen your breath.
Quit Tobacco Use
Tobacco products not only cause bad breath but also increase the risk of gum disease and oral cancer. Quitting smoking or chewing tobacco can significantly improve your oral health and breath.Regular Dental Checkups
Regular visits to Madison Dentistry & Implant Center for professional cleanings and checkups are crucial in preventing bad breath. Our dental professionals can detect and treat any underlying issues that may be contributing to bad breath.Bad breath can be a challenging issue, but with the right strategies and professional care, it is manageable.

2024.06.03 06:10 sleepykolix money can't buy hygiene and decency
I've been wanting to get this out of my chest for so long pero natatakot ako masabihan ng ang arte ko lang or to quote what they said "ang yaman mo kasi"
For context, I study in this school na belong sa big 4 here ph, so naturally puro may kaya or borderline rich people. At first, I really tried to ignore kasi friends ko sila eh, and sabi ko naman I think they were raised well enough to have basic manners oand hygiene. Let's talk about their hygiene first.
First encounter, we were eating noon and super ingay mag chew + yung mga mumu ng rice na kinakain niya is all over the table, and nagsspeak with their mouth full. Actually, before ko I-point out, napoint out na siya ng isa ko pang friend saying na "uy tumatalsik talsik pa" and "ang ingay mo ngumuya". I'd take it as hindi niya sineryoso because fast forward almost two years na, wala pa ring nagbabago.
Second encounter, ang baho niya talaga. It's not even the maasim type or amoy onion type of baho, it's so bad that I don't know how to describe it. I consulted this to my other friend, and she said na matagal na niya rin naaamoy hindi lang niya alam kanino or paano ibbring up. She said it's anghit, something worse than putok. I agreed kasi we went to their condo and damn, it smells the same. Amoy bulok na food na may amag or something, basta! Sometimes, proud pa siya na pumapasok daw siya na late na kaya hindi na siya nakakaligo, and in my mind it's like "medyo obvious nga sis". Nagkakatinginan na lang kami ng friend ko.
Last, yung nails niya it's overgrown and laging color black yung tips. This is like my last straw kasi syempre we share the same class and yung germs nun, imagine? Just typing this makes me want to throw up.
Now let's go naman sa etiquette.
We had a school trip kasi and in that trip, they provide us our meal and even small snacks sa hapon. That time, the snack is a tart, sineserve siya in a plate with utensils. We had an hour and 20 lang for our snack time kasi may activity kami after, and ayaw ko na muna sana magbody shower nun because magpapawis pa sa activity kaya I was planning magshower na after the activity instead of after eating. Syempre iniiwasan ko na madumihan ako, I used utensils such as fork and knife na lang instead of eating the tart with my hand. Nonstop siya nag nanag sakin while I'm eating na wow knife, sosyal. At first tumatawa pa ako, kaso literal na kada subo ko, may comment siya na ganon. Ang babaw lang siguro, but I really lost my appetite. Hindi 'yan first time, tuwing kumakain kami lagi siyang may comment madalas sakin, just because I choose to keep myself clean? Isn't that something basic sa table manners?
Meron pa! Whenever we buy foods, hindi siya bibili even if aayain namin siya. Tapos kapag nakabalik na kami with our foods, he'll look at us nang matagal ang uncomfortable na, tapos sasabihin "masarap ba yan?", naturally we'll say yea and kukuha siya. Bonus na nga yun, kasi madalas hindi na siya nagtatanong, kumukuha na lang siya and even nagddrink even if alam niyang laway conscious kami. Minsan giniguilt trip pa niya kami kapag hindi namin siya binibigyan ng pagkain. Minsan naman, inaacknowledge naman niya na laway conscious kami kaya nagpapaalam, if we say no ayun nga parang nanggiguilt trip pa. Minsan ang bastos pa ng mga sinasabi knowing na we're eating, as in vulgar.
Funny pa kasi nakakabili siya ng vape, laging g sa inuman or coffee hopping, in short may pera naman siya, so why can't he buy products to take care of himself, and maybe buy some decency?
I think that's it. I know it's partly our fault din na inaallow namin or we just shrug it off minsan, but can you blame us? How do you even tell him na uy you stink, or oh you make us very uncomfortable with your lack of table manners? Wala, I'm just glad nailabas ko na siya.

At first, I really tried to ignore kasi friends ko sila eh, and sabi ko naman I think they were raised well enough to have basic manners oand hygiene. Let's talk about their hygiene first.
First encounter, we were eating noon and super ingay mag chew + yung mga mumu ng rice na kinakain niya is all over the table, and nagsspeak with their mouth full. Actually, before ko I-point out, napoint out na siya ng isa ko pang friend saying na "uy tumatalsik talsik pa" and "ang ingay mo ngumuya". I'd take it as hindi niya sineryoso because fast forward almost two years na, wala pa ring nagbabago.
Second encounter, ang baho niya talaga. It's not even the maasim type or amoy onion type of baho, it's so bad that I don't know how to describe it. I consulted this to my other friend, and she said na matagal na niya rin naaamoy hindi lang niya alam kanino or paano ibbring up. She said it's anghit, something worse than putok. I agreed kasi we went to their condo and damn, it smells the same. Amoy bulok na food na may amag or something, basta! Sometimes, proud pa siya na pumapasok daw siya na late na kaya hindi na siya nakakaligo, and in my mind it's like "medyo obvious nga sis". Nagkakatinginan na lang kami ng friend ko.
Last, yung nails niya it's overgrown and laging color black yung tips. This is like my last straw kasi syempre we share the same class and yung germs nun, imagine? Just typing this makes me want to throw up.
Now let's go naman sa etiquette.
We had a school trip kasi and in that trip, they provide us our meal and even small snacks sa hapon. That time, the snack is a tart, sineserve siya in a plate with utensils. We had an hour and 20 lang for our snack time kasi may activity kami after, and ayaw ko na muna sana magbody shower nun because magpapawis pa sa activity kaya I was planning magshower na after the activity instead of after eating. Syempre iniiwasan ko na madumihan ako, I used utensils such as fork and knife na lang instead of eating the tart with my hand. Nonstop siya nag nanag sakin while I'm eating na wow knife, sosyal. At first tumatawa pa ako, kaso literal na kada subo ko, may comment siya na ganon. Ang babaw lang siguro, but I really lost my appetite. Hindi 'yan first time, tuwing kumakain kami lagi siyang may comment madalas sakin, just because I choose to keep myself clean? Isn't that something basic sa table manners?
Meron pa! Whenever we buy foods, hindi siya bibili even if aayain namin siya. Tapos kapag nakabalik na kami with our foods, he'll look at us nang matagal ang uncomfortable na, tapos sasabihin "masarap ba yan?", naturally we'll say yea and kukuha siya. Bonus na nga yun, kasi madalas hindi na siya nagtatanong, kumukuha na lang siya and even nagddrink even if alam niyang laway conscious kami. Minsan giniguilt trip pa niya kami kapag hindi namin siya binibigyan ng pagkain. Minsan naman, inaacknowledge naman niya na laway conscious kami kaya nagpapaalam, if we say no ayun nga parang nanggiguilt trip pa. Minsan ang bastos pa ng mga sinasabi knowing na we're eating, as in vulgar.
Funny pa kasi nakakabili siya ng vape, laging g sa inuman or coffee hopping, in short may pera naman siya, so why can't he buy products to take care of himself, and maybe buy some decency?
I think that's it. I know it's partly our fault din na inaallow namin or we just shrug it off minsan, but can you blame us? How do you even tell him na uy you stink, or oh you make us very uncomfortable with your lack of table manners? Wala, I'm just glad nailabas ko na siya.
2024.06.03 04:48 TRexy225 Weird Video That I Found? Pt 1
Hey yāall. So I have been lurking on this subreddit for a while. Iām a big fan of the creepcast podcast and I think that the community is pretty great. Which is why Iām coming to you guys, and not the authorities. I donāt even think that the authorities will believe me, but I know that you sick freaks willā¦ Well, even if you donāt believe me, youāll at least humor me. Thatās all that I ask. I also wonder if anyone else has had this experience, maybe youāre scared that youāve gone insane because nobody else has talked about it. Well, Iāve seen it. Maybe you have too, or maybe Iām the only one.
Sorry, Iām beating around the bush. Here goes.
Like I said, Iām a big fan of the creepcast podcast. When a new episode comes on, I drop everything to listen to it. I have a habit of looking at the description and the comments as the ad read plays, thatās where I found it. In the description, there was a link to an unlisted video. Itās gone now, even when I opened it in a new tab and then went back to the video, it was gone. I thought that it might have been a glitch, but knowing Isaiah and Hunter, I felt like it was something more. I didnāt know how right I was. I decided to screen record the video, since it got removed so quickly. I always love to rewatch their videos, and I assumed that I would want to rewatch this one.
The video was titled āTrying Youtubeās 3am Ritualsā, the thumbnail showed a photo of Isaiah smiling an unnaturally wide smile at a terrified hunter with the creepcast logo in the upper left corner and a photo of imjaystation lurking in the background menacingly. I smirked at the photo, then pressed play. The video started off normally, Iāll describe the important parts here. When I decided to make this post, I made a transcript of the full video, or at least what I remembered. It doesnāt tell the full story. I wonāt release it now because if someone else has watched this, I need their second opinion to make sure that I got all of the facts right. Anyway, the video started with light banter from Hunter and Isaiah. Hunter chewed Isaiah out for how Isaiahās bear from 1999 video him and Isaiah would smile coyly and hold the bear up in Hunters face, much to his horror. They were saying how they were so grateful for all the subscribers and how they were also close to getting even higher on the spotify podcast charts, they asked everyone to support them and I started to get bored so I looked at the description. To my surprise, I found another unlisted video. I quickly copy and pasted the video onto another tab for later, then as they began their ad read for some vpn company, I started to look at the comments as Isaiah said āremember kids, if the government wants to track you down and turn you into a sleeper agentā¦ at least make it a challenge for them with something VPNā. I donāt know why that stuck out to me, because the comments were far more interesting.
The only comments made were from Isaiah, Hunter, and some user named #1CREEPCASTFAN666 in all caps. I started to scroll through the comments, it was all just gibberish. Like, complete and utter gibberish. They were in different languages too, which was weird because as an American, I know that if either of them were bilingual they would talk about it because it is a rarity. Anyway, the other prevalant thing were all of the errors. Spelling errors and simple grammatical errors. Iām not the most technical writer, but even I wouldnāt make these kind of mistakes. Hell, there are probably a bunch of small, unimportant errors in this post that I simply wonāt remove because it doesnāt hinder my writing, and I believe it removes authenticity. Isaiah and Hunter both seem like the creators that care about everything that they put out in the world, even if it is a comment. The only coherent comments were from #1CREEPCASTFAN666, who said things that Iā¦ donāt want to write down. Just think of the most obsessed, toxic fan and the kind of shit that they would say. Thatās what was commented. I kept scrolling, trying to find an end to the comment thread but there was no end.
āAnd nowā¦ back to the video.ā Isaiahs voice managed to focus me again, so I finally closed out of the comments and tried to focus on the video. The video was basically a continuation of the two reacting to the reddit memes, they had decided to take advantage of their time together, so Isaiah compiled some of those 3am youtube ritual videos that people used to do. It was mostly Isaiah trolling on Hunter, I got a good laugh out of it as I had watched those 3am videos as a kid. Hunter made a joke about the swifties coming to get him after the video he made of Taylor Swift, then Isaiah began to play a really weird, distorted Taylor Swift songā¦ I think that it was Whoās Afraid of Little Old Me? I might try to find the song, he must have gotten it from somewhere. Everything was fine, and I was starting to think that the comments were just another way to immerse the audience. But #1CREEPCASTFAN666ās comments had plagued the comment sectionā¦ Maybe they had to take the video down to delete the comments before they released the actual video? Maybe the unlisted link was just some error? I let the excuses flood my mind, lulling me into a false sense of security.
Then, Isaiah pulled out a printed out e-mail. āThis is from someone calledā¦ wow uh theyāre called #1CREEPCASTFAN666.ā
Hunter snorted at that name. āWhat does that mean, the devil is our number one fan?āāI sure hope not!ā Isaiah pulls out a cross from his back pocket and waves it in front of the camera. āHeās not coming anywhere near me!ā
āDo you have the gun in your other pocket?ā Hunter asks.
Isaiah hands Hunter the sheet of paper before pulling out a pistol. āItās in a IWB holster, Hunter. Iām not an idiot.ā
āDude, donāt wave that thing around.ā Hunter says, smiling.
āYeah, yeah.ā Isaiah says, putting the pistol and cross away as Hunter scans the e-mail. He gives subdued reactions as if he was a dad assessing his kids badly drawn portrait of him, then looks up.
āYeah, only the devil could have written this shit.ā Hunter proclaims.
āLet me look at it again.ā Isaiah scans the e-mail, then shrugs. āItās classic 4 chan angst, dude is just adding to the immersion.ā
āOh, the immersion? Sure, sure, Isaiah. The immersion.ā
āListen, I havenāt seen anyone else do this one, I say that we try it out.ā
āWhat if we become possessed or some shit?ā Hunterās tone leans towards sincerity, something that I didnāt think Hunter was capable of. Isaiah pulls out a flask and waves it in front of Hunter.
ā...Donāt tell me thatās holy water.ā
āOh yeah, itās holy water.ā Isaiah pats Hunter on the shoulder āI sent this over to a buddy of mine who studies scripture, he says that thereās nothing to worry about. And he gave us a prayer.ā
āOh, he gave us a prayer. Ok, thatāll do it.ā
āI bet that this guy made this thing up, it looks more like improvised storytelling instructions to me.ā Isaiah mutters.
āDonāt tell me that you were a theater kid on top of being a loser in middle school.ā Hunter laughs.
āJacobi was real to me, Hunter! She was real to me!ā Isaiah quips, returning the video to itās normal back and forth banter.
Hunter gives a hesitant smile as he reads the instructions aloud. āIt says that we need lots of paper, because Iām supposed to draw out whatever you sayā¦ Then, we sit across from each other in a dimly lit, closed room and you justā¦ say whatever comes to your mind, and I draw it out. This just sounds like some exercise they would make me do in art school, man.ā
āYeah, thatās what I thought too. See, nothing malicious. We donāt even need to write a pentagram or anything. I think this guy just wants to see usā¦ make something?ā
āWe make shit all the time!āāYeah, but I mean like together? You know, Iām the storyteller, youāre the artist.ā
āUh huh, sure. I just donāt think that this dude needed to addā¦ all of that to these pretty simple instructions.ā Hunter scoffs. āI thought that we would get the creepy fans after I dressed up in a maid outfit.ā
āYou were going to dress up in a maid outfit?āā...No.ā
āIt doesnāt matter now, let me get some paper, then we can start.ā
Isaiah leaves the room, and Hunter sits down. I would have expected them to cut to another ad read or something, or for the video to cut to something fun like a merch announcement or somethingā¦ but nothing happened. I just watched Hunter sit thereā¦ waiting. There sounded like audio feedback, which leads me to believe that from this point on, nobody edited the rest of the video. I looked at the timestamp, not wanting to just stare at Hunter sitting on the ground. It was six hours longā¦ we were only 45 minutes in. How the hell were they going to fill in the next 5 hours?
Isaiah enters the room, holding a big stack of paper. Isaiah closes the door and sets the stack of paper in front of Hunter, who stares at it warily.
āAlright, letās do this!ā Isaiah smiles and claps his hands.
Hunter pulls a pencil out of his beard and that caused me to snort at the absurdity of it. I wonder what else he had hidden in there.
Isaiah sits down, and closes his eyes. He looks as if heās trying to go into a trance, Hunter taps the pencil on his knee nervously as he stares at Isaiah.
āBOO!ā Isaiah opens his eyes wide and leans towards Hunter suddenly.
āSHIT!ā Hunter cries out in shock, falling over.
Isaiah bursts out laughing, and Hunter soon joins him.
āNotā¦ Not funny dude!ā Hunter says in between belly laughs. Isaiah laughs for a full minute, even tearing up. Hunter tries to give an angry look, but Isaiah would make eye contact with him, try to copy his serious expression and the two would burst into laughter together. I even joined in, smiling at their comradery. This was a normal video, it had to be.
Finally, they managed to calm down.
āDonātā¦ Donāt do that again, man.ā Hunter sighs, wiping a tear from his eye. āI wonāt, I wonāt.ā Isaiah manages to recompose himself.
I feel myself leaning towards the screen, curious to see what happens next.
The room goes silent as Hunter stares at Isaiah expectantly. Isaiah seems to have gone into some kind of meditative state. For some reason, I kept thinking of the 10% bigger lips meme and laughed to myself, maybe it was the nerves? I had never felt so nervous watching something in my life.
āDirt.ā Isaiah blurts out.
Hunter raises an eyebrow, but hastily scribbles a messy line. Iām not sure how the drawings were supposed to look. I tried to get screenshots of the drawings, but like I said, the video from here on out isnāt edited, so I can only see the side profile and assume what he drew. They were quick, and not very stylized. I donāt know who would even have the drawings, but if someone has them, please dm me so I can verify them. I donāt know how the hell you would have gotten them. I remember that the paper Isaiah had was distinct, I think they had some kind of signature on the bottom. Later on in the video, I think an explanation for that will come into play but for now, Iāll just focus on what happened.
āHoofs on.ā Isaiah blurted out.
Hunter looks confused, but he scribbles down.
āSong patterns the bold.ā
More scribbling.
āHorizon is stinging the heavens.ā Isaiah blurted out next.
āHow am I supposed to-ā Hunter begins.
āThe angels weep tears of ichor as a scribe crys out to a god above who is sent below.ā Isaiah cuts him off, and Hunter begins to draw again.
āLooking glass is kind the looking glass is is sade.ā
Hunterās look of confusion begins to turn into one of pure dedication, noā¦ pure obsession as he becomes completely engrossed in etching Isaiahs words into the everlasting permanence of recorded information. They were like cavemen, telling a story of their hunt and etching drawings onto the stone wallā¦ Telling a story that I couldnāt understand.
Isaiahs words became just like the comment section below. They were nonsensical and full of errors and contradictions. Like I said, I might attach the full transcript later if this gets enough traction. I canāt make any sense of it, but maybe someone else can.
Isaiah also begins to speak in different languages. I took a bit of spanish, but Iāve never been good at languages so Iāve had to use google translate to transcribe all of the languages. From the way Isaiah talked, he was completely fluent. He spoke latin, greek, mandarin, hebrew, literally every language in the world. He managed to speak it with ease, even if the words and conjugations made absolutely no sense. Hunter seemed to understand it fully.
This continues for five hours, thereās no breaksā¦ Nothing. In the last half hour, banging on the door is heard.
āIsaiah? Isaiah?! Did you take all of my paper? I need those for work! That paper has to get scanned in!ā I hear a woman shout, I can only assume that itās his wife.
āWhen80 the gods fan abive the calliope star will shine down and take us to the staars. Soy bolleta y un autobus.ā
What the hell is he even saying?
āWhat are they up to?ā Another woman asks, that must be Hunterās wife. āWe were only gone for a few hours since they wanted the house to themselves for that 3 am video.ā
āCat and glass shard the heavens and chart the stars.ā
āI donāt know, theyāre still in there and we missed our dinner reservations.ā
āBlack white and red all maje the ship that sail th e heavens.ā
āWhat the hell are they talking about?ā I hear Hunters wife ask impatiently, then she tries to open the door. The handle wiggles, but itās locked. I take note of the timestamp and then go back to when Isaiah closes the doorā¦ he didnāt lock it. My heart races as I finally blink and go back to the original time stamp. The attempts to get through the door are becoming more desperate.
āHey, hey! Let us in!ā Isaiahās wife tries to kick the door, and a small dent is seen in the door. I start to think that they might get through. Isaiahās voice starts to rise as their attempts to get in the door.
āIron and silt make the maker! Our blood un solum las nobilis mariposas y ngothando ashira.ā
āHUNTER! HUNTER!ā
āISAIAH?!āāXAO SOLUM TECA POIROT MI CHA KODESH LAS FILLES Y KAERU! TITIVILLUS TITIVILLUS TITIVILLUSā
I blink twice as the doorā¦ the door begins to fucking disappear. It begins to fade out of fucking existence. As that happens, as reality begins to defy all logic, I see a tooth fall out of Isaiahās fucking mouth. Hunter grabs it, and begins to draw with it. I feel my jaw drop to the floor as their wives cries and shouts become louder and more frantic, and as Isaiah seems to become more and more possessed as his body seems to give up, letting whatever thing that has taken him over simply let it do whatever it wants. That apparently meant rremoving his teethā¦ Hunter begins to horde them, and starts toā¦ god, I hate even saying this but Hunter starts to use Isaiahs blood as ink for his sick drawings. I hate gore, I really do hate gore but I canāt look away as the video nears an end, with the door fully disappearing, their wiveās desperate attempts to reach their husbands fade away, and the last thing I see before the video ends is a silent video of Hunter cupping his hands under Isaiahs chin, bowing his head as if he were worshipping some old, lovecraftian entity.
After the video ends, I threw up. I havenāt been able to sleep for days, whenever I close my eyes, I see themā¦
I havenāt rewatched the video. Things on the transcript probably arenāt translated right or like completely accurate. You canāt make me rewatch the video. Even if I wanted to, the video is corrupted. I only managed to save a few audio clips that I yet again might attach later if anyone wants to hear them. A part of me hopes that I was the only one that watched that videoā¦ because even though it would be nice if someone else did watch that video, so I wouldnāt be aloneā¦ I donāt want to curse anyone else with what I saw.
I havenāt worked up enough courage to watch the second video. I think that if I get enough support on here, itāll help me watch it. Please justā¦ share your thoughts below. I justā¦ I donāt know what happened. Because if that video was the real Isaiah and Hunterā¦
Then who have we been watching?

āWhat are they up to?ā Another woman asks, that must be Hunterās wife. āWe were only gone for a few hours since they wanted the house to themselves for that 3 am video.ā
āCat and glass shard the heavens and chart the stars.ā
āI donāt know, theyāre still in there and we missed our dinner reservations.ā
āBlack white and red all maje the ship that sail th e heavens.ā
āWhat the hell are they talking about?ā I hear Hunters wife ask impatiently, then she tries to open the door. The handle wiggles, but itās locked. I take note of the timestamp and then go back to when Isaiah closes the doorā¦ he didnāt lock it. My heart races as I finally blink and go back to the original time stamp. The attempts to get through the door are becoming more desperate.
āHey, hey! Let us in!ā Isaiahās wife tries to kick the door, and a small dent is seen in the door. I start to think that they might get through. Isaiahās voice starts to rise as their attempts to get in the door.
āIron and silt make the maker! Our blood un solum las nobilis mariposas y ngothando ashira.ā
āHUNTER! HUNTER!ā
āISAIAH?!āāXAO SOLUM TECA POIROT MI CHA KODESH LAS FILLES Y KAERU! TITIVILLUS TITIVILLUS TITIVILLUSā
I blink twice as the doorā¦ the door begins to fucking disappear. It begins to fade out of fucking existence. As that happens, as reality begins to defy all logic, I see a tooth fall out of Isaiahās fucking mouth. Hunter grabs it, and begins to draw with it. I feel my jaw drop to the floor as their wives cries and shouts become louder and more frantic, and as Isaiah seems to become more and more possessed as his body seems to give up, letting whatever thing that has taken him over simply let it do whatever it wants. That apparently meant rremoving his teethā¦ Hunter begins to horde them, and starts toā¦ god, I hate even saying this but Hunter starts to use Isaiahs blood as ink for his sick drawings. I hate gore, I really do hate gore but I canāt look away as the video nears an end, with the door fully disappearing, their wiveās desperate attempts to reach their husbands fade away, and the last thing I see before the video ends is a silent video of Hunter cupping his hands under Isaiahs chin, bowing his head as if he were worshipping some old, lovecraftian entity.
After the video ends, I threw up. I havenāt been able to sleep for days, whenever I close my eyes, I see themā¦
I havenāt rewatched the video. Things on the transcript probably arenāt translated right or like completely accurate. You canāt make me rewatch the video. Even if I wanted to, the video is corrupted. I only managed to save a few audio clips that I yet again might attach later if anyone wants to hear them. A part of me hopes that I was the only one that watched that videoā¦ because even though it would be nice if someone else did watch that video, so I wouldnāt be aloneā¦ I donāt want to curse anyone else with what I saw.
I havenāt worked up enough courage to watch the second video. I think that if I get enough support on here, itāll help me watch it. Please justā¦ share your thoughts below. I justā¦ I donāt know what happened. Because if that video was the real Isaiah and Hunterā¦
Then who have we been watching?
2024.06.03 03:56 Jumpy_Perception_628 Just some thoughtsā¦
Do you think weāre all done with the map in the storyline? Given that the school burned down I canāt see them going back to it.. Will Ant ever find out Harpers involvement in it, that sheās also responsible for him getting in trouble at home from his religious mother? (cause Iām sorry-not really-but Amerie copping call the blame is fucking bs seriously theyāve done my girl dirty enough already. I also hope Malakai comes back & makes it up to her BIG TIME if he really does love her as I honestly donāt like how he treated her in season 2. And Malakai was a big favourite of mine along with Amerie, Ca$h & Quinni. Downvote me to death I donāt care it wasnāt right. I liked him more in season one.) Anyway, Ant strikes me as someone whoās forgiving & he really looked worried for Harper & seemed to want to comfort her when Chook stared her down. I see a sensitive side to him I just canāt help but wonder if heāll be hurt should someone tell him or she ends up confessing. I did also consider maybe he might actually already know Harper was involved too given how Amerie & her did everything together so thereās that & everyoneās moved on now? They are highschoolers after all, thereās always more drama around the corner.
For the love of god I really do not want to see Voss again. I think he was shown far too much he might of been funny for an episode or two like hereās this angry middle aged man whoās whole personality is trying to get other young men on his side but it just got too much IMO.
Ahhh this one will probably get me chewed up (take a breath theyāre just opinions.) but I canāt help but think if it was Spider saying to Missy āwe should keep this thing of ours a secret I donāt want anyone knowingāā¦people would be loosing their shit? Just saying. Did Missy just not want Sasha finding out? I think we know that Missy would not put up with being someoneās secret if someone pitched that idea to her. It took me a long while to warm up to Spider. I want to think heāll continue to grow up he is still going to make mistakes thatās part of the growth process.. I do think they picked the perfect actor to play him! Spiderās mother is also a vile human being who had no right talking about him like he wasnāt there in front of Missy. That scene really irked me. Reminded me of my own mother.
Rowan needed help a long time ago. That feeling I felt when we realised his brother wasnāt, you know, actually there. That is a lot of pain to carry around. š I hate what he put Amerie through. I donāt believe she deserved it. Also Harper as well given that she had a horrible feeling Chook was stalking her & leaving dead birds. Locking them in that room when the school was burning I would understand if no one forgave him. Hell, I donāt think I could. But Rowan is still very mentally ill. I donāt want to believe heās this evil guy to the core. I donāt think I necessarily want to see him in season 3 either but a big part of me does feel for him. Remember everyone says theyāre a mental health advocate until someone really is out of control needing help, support & understanding.
I know theyāre all young with not much life experience yet but I gotta say I wish I saw a bit more compassion towards Ca$h trying to leave his old life behind. It was needed. To me anyway, itās like they thought Ca$h didnāt want to leave! He already would have enormous guilt for being in Chooks car the night the eshays took Harper even though he did make sure she could escape which thank god she did. Seriously itās really not that easy it is a gang after all. If he tried to stop them from putting a passed out girl in the car I will bet that theyād beat his ass bad & leave him for dead. He did keep looking back at her in the car in a way I think to try to tell her he doesnāt approve of their conduct & to wait for the signal to run. Thatās what I picked up on anyway. Chook threw a brick through the window of Ca$hās nans place & has beaten Ca$h before ffs heās not the type you can just ask politely or ignore him to stop. (Also Woodsy spraying Chook with the hose made me lol š she isnāt scared of shit.) It would also have been hard given the history he has with Chook as I believe they have shared childhood trauma. Also, Darrenās first thought is to go cheat on Ca$h..really Darren? They say they love Ca$h but when things get a bit rocky they either run off to the dorms or shut down. Again I know theyāre all young but Darren needs to get better at communicating & not everything can be fixed with sex either, if only it were that easy. I canāt see them working out long term I hate to say it-unless they make a big turn around with communication. Ca$h is not inherently a bad human. Need I remind you all he was the only one that noticed how down Quinni was at the zoo? Thatās where Iām at with them, Darren is hilarious & I love their style just their communication & how theyāve treated Ca$h kind of annoys me.
Quinni. Good god I love her & the actress that plays her. I really feel seen by her in all her interactions. Particularly the one of her with Harper in the toilets at the slay ball in season one, how excited she was at the book signing before Sasha ruined her night (Again love the actress, sheās gorgeous too & I have to say Sasha did grow on me a little bit in season 2 not gonna lie. I actually think Sasha is on the way to improving herself & that sheāll see you canāt just use performative activism as a way to show everyone youāre a good person.) Back to Quinni, I too have gotten sick of masking & walking on eggshells trying to make sure I donāt hurt the feelings of neurotypical people (who love to say weāre the ones that are too sensitive lmao) That interaction between Quinni & Darren at the zoo hurt though. āI spent my entire life playing by other peopleās rules acting like they make the tinniest bit of sense but they donātā š broke me. I know what thatās like. I do understand why people might think Quinni took it too far but at the same time I think the show has shown those that werenāt as aware of autism how hard it really is. Iām very black and white with my thinking & blunt & people have a hard time understanding that. Itās exhausting trying to tip toe around people that constantly try to pin you as ārudeā. I can only mask for so long. Itās very fucking hard. And I do think she owed it to herself to unmask.

2024.06.03 03:44 CreepyButterfly2930 21 month old & Autism possibility
My youngest daughter has been in intensive OT & Speech therapy since she was 18 months old, when I raised my concerns of her lack of speaking or āplayingā like her older sister did at her age (they are 10 months apart).
She has made immense progress. She was first assessed and her scores made her age range that of a 5 month old, she was severely delayed. But, she has started to copy words and sounds, climbs furniture, has started to learn how to āplayā, began pointing occasionally when I initiated, and has transitioned from a bottle to a sippy cup!
She is still on solid purĆ©ed food that I spoon feed her, with the exception of teething biscuits or wafers she will pick up and eat herself (seeking feeding therapy this week). I believe she just doesnāt understand the concept of chewing (?)
Anyways, her therapists wonāt outright say it yet, as she has her formal 6 month assessment in August, when she turns 2. The main therapist has said she has seen the warning signs for autism, but also has said she has made incredible progress. From not speaking or having really any motor skills to play, to constantly babbling and mimicking words constantly, learning to āplayā, and overall seeming more engaged in her environment.
However to me, she still acts like a ābabyā, if that makes sense. Shes a very happy little girl, but really doesnāt show much emotion unless promted out of her (me engaging with her, something funny to her on TV, etc.)
She does walk on her toes a lot, runs back and forth throughout the apartment with no purpose, spins occasionally, and has a few repetitive movements that have slowed down a bit. She crossed her pointer and other finger together quite a bit. She is nonverbal, still.
I guess Iām just asking for other parents experience at this age? I compare her development to her sister, a complete firecracker of a toddler (terrible twoās are hard and sheās definitely carrying that over when she turns 3 in October lol). I look back at videos and pictures of her sister at that age, and Iām like wow she had a whole āpersonalityā, tried to communicate, and showed so much emotion. Ate everything by herself that was put on her plate, extremely talkative, and had facial expressions. Their pediatrician said it was fair to compare them, as they are 10 months apart, but I know both of my girls are different in their own ways.
I just have this feeling my sweet girl is on the spectrum. I just want that diagnosis for some reason; I want clarity and a breath of relief that I know why sheās developing the way she is (?) Maybe thatās selfish to say, but I treasure her so much. I just want to know how to get her the best help and prepare for the future. I know thatās what her therapistās are for, I guess Iām once again just asking for some advice or personal experiences.
