2023.05.29 15:12 Vulgar-vagabond I dread memorial day w/ a passion!!!

It's memorial day....I fucking dread this damn day.
Last night I had a dream where I was laughing w/ someone. When I got up I realized who I had been laughing with.
It was Mark.... He OD in the barracks bathroom 6 months after Iraq.
The dream was a memory of when I was helping him study for the promotion board.
Mark was hilarious... Once in Iraq, we were getting mortared as usual & idk how... but we heard the enemy talking thru Mark's CB radio.
There this man talking Arabic & I assume he's giving out instructions to his guys. Mark gets on the line & yells "DAMNIT SUSAN... YOU KNOW I DONT SPEAK SPANISH!!"
We laughed so damn hard at angry Iraqi man yelling at us thru the radio. Mark is also the reason our QRF (Quick Response Force) was called team Shake n Bake. He wanted to become a Ranger but he died shortly after being accepted & the company covered that shit up.
Then I thought about John... He was found in a ATL park with a bag over his head, note on his chest & empty pistol in his hand. He shot himself about 3 yrs after he got out.
John was very smart & the most caring person I have ever met. He didn't talk shit about anyone but alot of ppl saw him as soft. As soon as he got out the Army. He started taking care of his mom full time. She had dementia real bad... After she died, he died 2 months later.
Then Jason... His death is still a mystery but rumor is he ODd too shortly after getting out.
Jason was a huge teddy bear. 6'3 benched 350 pds. But cared about everyone in the unit. Nobody was beneath him & had everyone's respect simply bc he knew his job & did it well. As far as looks he was a big redneck but he acted like a gentleman & was truly a gentle giant.
Let's not forget the 2 guys not in my unit that got ripped in half by a IED on guard duty. I was supposed to be pulling that duty, that night but my 1Sgt pulled me for a mission instead. I never found out there names.
Brain got cancer right after we got back. 2yrs later... Gone. He could lead men with respect & never had to get loud. He didn't give a shit a rank, everyone was welcomed at his house & he always was in a good mood even at the shitty times.
So if you read this far... Do me a favor... Don't say Happy memorial day.
For alot of us vets... there ain't a fucking thing happy about today.

2023.05.29 06:14 plokijuh1229 [Room Share] Furnished Room in Sunset Park, Brooklyn for $800/mo. Available mid-June to end of September.

I have a furnished room available in Sunset Park for $800/mo + electric. 3bed with 2 roommates, both 25M. Available mid-June through end of September.
Video from the broker before we moved in a year ago. The available bedroom is the final one shown.
Located near the intersection of 58th st and 6th ave. This is an excellent location:
• 59th st express train stop 6min walk away
• Mexican, chinese, pizza, deli, fried chicken food and Pioneer grocery store right around the corner on 5th ave. Bustling area but quiet at night. Extremely walkable you'll never feel a need for a car.
• 58th st Army Terminal ferry stop directly down the road. Ferry goes directly to Rockaway beach. D and N trains also go right to Coney Island in half an hour. It is awesome here in the summer.
The room is smallish at 7' x 10' with no closet. Has a nice large window. Comes furnished with size full bed frame, mattress, clothes rack, window AC. I currently live in this room (I'm moving into the leaving roommate's room) and it's perfectly serviceable and not closet-feeling because...
The apartment is very spacious. Has a wide open kitchen, two living rooms, and the 3 bedrooms on top of that. Gets fantastic sunlight in every room. It's not particularly good looking as it has drop ceilings in the living rooms but that comes with the low rent. Not a newly renovated guy. (Pics will be added to this post soon)
About us: Both 25M. Childhood best friends. I work from home in corporate analytics, my roommate is a writeservice worker. Our 3rd roommate is moving abroad hence the open room.

To get in contact for a viewing:

DM me that you're interested and I'll DM back my gmail. From there email me about yourself, the more info the better. I'll be emailing back in a day or two as I'm using Memorial Day tomorrow to arrange things and take current pics.

2023.05.29 01:55 muffincult Should I stop cooking for my husband?

So A few months ago I started cooking meals for my family most night. We are always so busy with work and school I never really made an effort and we kinda just snacked and my daughter would make Mac n cheese my husband would make a pizza or something and I would have a lean cuisine.
But I decided to start making dinner for everyone, sit down at the table and all that just a normal family dinner. Sometimes I would have my parents over too. I haven’t really cooked a lot in the past so I’m still learning.
I’ve had some flops but I’m getting a lot better to the point where my mom is like oo can you make that thing you made a few weeks ago? Or my dad would be like could you give me the recipe for that? I cooked something and my daughter was like can you cook this on my birthday? So I’m assuming I’m not terrible.
Anyway my husband is super picky and ALWAYS has something to say about my food. Even when he likes it. He will be like oh you could of done this different etc. which I guess he considers constructive criticism but I take it personally. And when he really doesn’t like something he’s like yeah I’m not gonna eat this.
The thing is I’ve told him numerous times please look up recipes and tell me what you think would be good so I can make it. He won’t do that though.
So tonight really was the straw that broke the camels back. I made marinated and tenderized steak with a red wine reduction, pearled couscous with garlic and basil and a salad. I asked my husband how he wanted his steak cooked and he said rare.
So I cooked it rare. I sat it down in front of him and he’s like yeah I’m not eating this, ok so I put it back on the stove and cooked it medium rare. I said does that look better he said yes. He ate a bite and was like yeah I don’t like this. I asked him does he want it well done he said no. So I’m like ok what do you want me to do then?
He said nothing I’ll just eat it anyway. So I told him no if you don’t like it just give it to the dogs or something. And I started getting upset because I’m like nothing I ever do is good enough and I started crying and he was like why are you getting upset? Your food is great I love it is that what you want to hear?
Not to mention steak is fucking expensive. And I told him ok, unless it’s something I know for a fact that you like I’m not cooking for you you can fend for yourself because I’m tired of you wasting food 90 percent of the time.
He was pissed off and told me no I’ll eat whatever you put in front of me and I was like no I don’t want you eating something you don’t like and then bitching to your buddies at work how I suck at cooking.
How do I not be an asshole about this? Am I being rational?
TDLR: my husband hates my cooking should I just stop cooking for him and am I being an asshole for doing that.

Curing Your Tandoor Clay Pot: A Step-by-Step Guide to Perfectly Seasoned Flavors
A tandoor clay pot is a traditional cooking vessel used in many cultures for baking delicious bread and marinated meats. Before using a new tandoor clay pot, it is important to properly season and cure it to enhance its durability and impart a unique flavor to your culinary creations. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to season and cure a clay pot tandoor.
Curing Your Tandoor Clay Pot
Steps to Season and Cure a Tandoor Clay Pot:
Step 1: Gather the required ingredients:
  • A new clay pot for the tandoor
  • 1.5 liters of Mustard Oil

  • 1 kg of Jaggery (Gur)

  • 10 teaspoons of Turmeric Powder (Haldi)

Step 2: Clean the clay pot: Before starting the curing process, make sure your clay pot is clean and free from any dust or debris. Rinse it thoroughly with water and let it dry completely.
Step 3: Prepare the curing mixture: In a large container, combine 1.5 liters of Mustard Oil, 1 kg of Jaggery (Gur), 1 kg of Spinach (Palak), 10 teaspoons of Salt, and 10 teaspoons of Turmeric Powder (Haldi). Mix the ingredients well to create a thick paste.

Step 4: Apply the curing mixture: Take the prepared curing mixture and apply it evenly to the inside surface of the clay pot. Make sure to cover the entire surface, including the walls and the base. Apply a thick layer of the mixture, ensuring it adheres well to the clay.
Step 5: Let it dry: Once you have applied the curing mixture, allow the clay pot to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. It is important to let the pot dry slowly to avoid any cracks or damage. This process can take several days, so be patient and avoid rushing it.

Step 6: Repeat the process: After the first layer of the curing mixture has dried completely, repeat the application process for a second layer. Apply the mixture evenly and allow it to dry once again. This second layer will further strengthen and protect the clay pot.
Step 7: Final curing: After the second layer has dried completely, it is time for the final curing. Place the clay pot in your tandoor or any other heat source and gradually increase the temperature. Start with a low flame or heat and gradually increase it over a period of a few hours. This gradual heating will help the clay pot adjust to high temperatures without cracking.
Step 8: Cool down and clean: Once the final curing is complete, allow the clay pot to cool down completely. Once cool, gently remove any excess curing mixture from the surface. Rinse the pot with water to remove any remaining residue and let it dry naturally.

Conclusion:
Curing and seasoning a tandoor clay pot is an essential step to enhance its durability and bring out the best flavors in your dishes. By following these steps, you can ensure that your clay pot tandoor is properly prepared and ready to deliver authentic and mouthwatering meals for years. Happy cooking!

2023.05.29 00:57 InfernoAA P.U.R.E I

P.U.R.E I
Perfectly Unadulterated Regal Excellency. P.U.R.E. Named in dedication to four of the greatest technical wrestlers of all-time – Mr. Perfect, Kurt Angle, William Regal, and Bret Hart – tonight is as big as it ever gets for the Blitz brand as we embark on our first-ever edition of BTE's Blitz equivalent PPV! Much like those men, if you wish to be successful in Pure Rules, you must embody intelligence, grit, and a goal-driven mindset to reach the top, so keep that in mind as you immortalise your names into history on this INSANE 14-match card! Emanating from the Twickenham Stadium in London, England, home to the English National Rugby Team, 82,000 strong will be here to witness history in one of the biggest crowds in FBE’s history, beating even BTE attendance numbers! A huge thank you to Petite Jupiter’s PJs ‘N PB&Js for sponsoring us tonight, commemorating the long-awaited return of a legend with comfort for the body and the soul! Now, get strapped in for the show of a lifetime as England’s own Royal Blood sets the tone for the night with a live performance of their latest single, “Mountains At Midnight”!

Perfect Quarter

Non-Title Champion vs Champion: FBE Television Champion Cactus Mike vs FBE Junior Heavyweight Champion Paddy Murphy
Opening in HUGE fashion is a first-time ever dream meeting between two of the most beloved members of the roster! On one side is the two-time Television Champion with SIX overall defences to his name, The Ark’s Cactus Mike! Recently having his own one-year anniversary celebration much like Blitz last week, he’s been an icon in every division he’s taken part in, from being a component of the thrilling 3-way rivalry with John and Jay Castle, to an intense Shining-esque blood feud with Happy, to being one of the most consistent Pure Rules competitors, taking the likes of Inferno and Apeirogone to their limits. Proving his mettle in the Shining Light League, tonight more than ever can put him in the conversation for being next in line!
On the other side is the current Junior Heavyweight Champion, the Sham-Rock ‘N Scot Connection’s Paddy Murphy! Following a career trajectory similar to the Cardiac Cactus himself in his first few months, he’s rapidly elevated himself from a youngblood to one of the most emotionally riveting performers in the company today, having taken the Junior Division by storm under the guidance of his Sensei and his Dojo. Further greatness surely ahead of the World’s Most Wanted, his 6-point tournament run more than proving his potential, this could be his moment of redemption that catapults him into the next stratosphere, another Ark member having been the only obstacle between him and the Semi Finals!
Prompt: Rebook The British Bulldog’s WWF Intercontinental Championship Reign (Max 1000 Words)

Petite Jupiter Invitational: Arslan Malik vs Ferdinand Maxim vs Guy Fawkes vs Mr. Calcote Miller vs Vix
It’s finally happening, laddies! Initially announced for the first-ever BTE, the Petite Jupiter Invitational was a Battle Royale scheduled to commemorate the legacy of the then recently retired Shining Light, with the winner earning an Intercontinental Championship shot. Though plans fell through, there’s no reason it shouldn’t take place on the first BTE-level show of the Pure Division! Whilst a secondary title doesn’t yet exist on Blitz, the winner of this match can definitely expect their name to be held in higher regards, leaving with a trophy they can cherish when looking back on the moment that elevated them to the next level, one competitor from this plucky spread of rising stars being immortalised.
Will it be the Ass-Kicker Arslan Malik punching a hole through the competition? Perhaps Le Prince de Paris Ferdinand Maxim can make his kingdom even more golden? Maybe former Junior Heavyweight Champion Guy Fawkes can break bank in another division? Could Big 4 Main Eventer Mr. Calcote Miller be in line for a return to glory? Or is the most synonymous with the original prize of this match, former FBC Intercontinental Champion Vix soaring into the stars?
Prompt: Book the next year of any championship of your choosing (Max 1000 Words)

Mark Steel vs Michael Menzies II
In recent weeks, something of a rivalry has begun to brew between Death to Juniors and their latest targets, the Sensei-led duo of the Sham-Rock ‘N Scot Connection. With Paddy Murphy taking DTJ’s Junior Title and Michael Menzies going to war with Joshua Epps and Mark Steel in back-to-back weeks, why stop there? When the Future-Proof last tested his skills against DTJ, he was lost, without direction, searching for a means of survival. But what difference a month makes, now a completely transformed star since replacing the Kalamity surname, finding himself in strong company, no longer to be soloed out by the vultures of the Heavyweight Division.
Still, he can’t solely rely on friends to make it big. A recent landslide victory in his favour on Blitz makes it appear as though he’s ready for Round Two against the Gatekeeper of New Talent, so exactly that will occur, Michael receiving a chance at redemption against the stable which has his number! In Peak Performance’s case, shutting down the Junior Revolution before it can fully take off its feet would be in his best interest, nothing sweeter than bragging about single-handedly being the cause of death of another competitor’s potential, Steel keeping his territory on lock from newcomers!
Prompt: Book Clash at the Castle II (Max 1000 Words)

Simon Brown vs Kentaro Sakamoto vs Travis Broski
Tournaments have oft been a means of elevating competitors closer to the brass ring, the gruelling schedules showing their true inner resilience and ability to maintain their skill even into the later rounds. For all three of these men, that statement couldn’t be truer.
Exhibit A: Simon Brown. Though his FBE tenure was brief, he smashed through the glass ceiling in a manner many are unable to, a run into the Semi Finals of the inaugural Gedo Classic being promptly followed up by him becoming the second-ever Junior Heavyweight Champion in just a month or so of joining FBE, putting himself on a list that’s spawned some of the biggest stars of the current era.
Exhibit B: Kentaro Sakamoto. Going from the third member of Semper Lucet to forever remembered for his performance in the inaugural Punish & Crush Tournament, his advancement to the Finals over championship competition made it clear as day what he could offer at his best, becoming a staple Heavyweight ever since, sharing iconic moments alongside PROSPECT.
Exhibit C: Travis Broski. Much like The Immortalizer, he too was launched into the next stratosphere with an inspiring Gedo Classic Semis campaign in its most recent edition, the Undercity Underdog going on to upset some of the most valued juggernauts in company history in its aftermath, now continuing to remain a threat to the top of the pecking order.
All three feasibly able to take on the entire world if they so please (and all Ape guys?), they’re going to have to confront their most unique challenge yet in shattering mirrors of themselves!
Prompt: Book GUNTHER until WrestleMania 40 (Max 1000 Words)

Unadulterated Quarter

James Scott vs Jason Beggs
When you look at the career James Scott has had, it’s hard not to envy the Purest Protagonist for his many accolades. Intercontinental Champion, the original Junior Champion Ace, inaugural Lifeline Classic Winner over Hall of Fame level competition, New Beginning III main eventer, he’s been around the block and then some. Inventing the model for what a newcomer to the company should resemble if they wish to be remembered, fearlessly running with the giants like he’s David, he’s surely inspired a generation, but what about those from his generation?
When one man dominates the rest, there’s to be casualties along the way, Jason Beggs being one of those who suffered from Scott’s meteoric rise, his name being forgotten in favour of the Aussie, despite Jason beating him in Scott’s multi-man debut. With three years passing since both first broke into the company, they find themselves in the same division again, making it only inevitable that their paths would cross again on the hunt for the Pure Title. So, why not now? Becoming Irresistible since his return, for Beggs this is the perfect opportunity at revenge by tossing James down the mountain this time in a Lion King moment, but as always, it’s Scott vs The World and he won’t be rolling over for anyone!
Prompt: Book the revival of Pete Dunne (Max 1000 Words)

Battle of the Best II: DTJ (Misery, Hunter Maguire, Joshua Epps) vs PROVINCE (Sebastian King, Erick Koeman, Karma) vs The RISE (Ripley, John LaGuardia, Victor Williams)
On 1000 days of FBE, three of the most iconic stables in the company’s history butted heads, British Ambition, Lifeline, and PRIDE Gang squaring off in the inaugural Battle of the Best, that match putting a bow to the end of those 9 men’s generation, a more modern school of FBE competition ensuing in its aftermath which blended two very different eras together. Of the new crop, three factions have been inseparable over the past year in every form they’ve come to pass, Death to Juniors, PROVINCE, and The RISE all being tied at the hip.
WarGames earlier this year seeing The RISE’s predecessor, J.E.M, defeat DTJ, and PROVINCE subsequently debuting at DTJ’s expense, the critically acclaimed group has taken enough from both squadrons, finally getting a chance to exact their revenge on both in one fell swoop! PROVINCE and The RISE aren’t without their own issues either, the Shining Light League sparking friction between them in block matches, all 3 factions trading victories over the course of the competition, DTJ and The RISE even putting representatives through to the Semi Finals whilst PROVINCE costed the remainder of their men from moving on. In a race to prove themselves the next big things of the company, one faction will walk out here with a trophy to their name and a score at last settled!
Prompt: Book Ilja Dragunov on the Main Roster (Max 1 Part Per Person; 1000 Words each)

EED vs JOHN
Whilst FBE’s been a breeding ground for a wide range of colourful personalities, there’s been few that’ve acted as ‘anti-personalities’, deviating from the supernatural world to crack down on those they’ve felt to be caricatures of what a true wrestler should be. The most shining example of all in the Wild West was EED, standing out against the variety pack roster with his scathing, no-nonsense attitude, drilling a hole in the skull of anyone, both on the mic and in the ring, who he deemed unbecoming to the sport which paid his bills and subsequently having his way with their tattered remains.
Though no one has since quite managed to capture the aura of the Notorious, few might’ve argued JOHN to be his successor. All caps, plain and simple, the Misfit’s been unlike his exotic peers, simply a freak of nature uprooting anything in his path. A career marked by gold much like the former Television and Commonwealth Champion, JOHN with his own record-breaking Junior Heavyweight Championship reign, tonight he gets a chance to step to an OG as one of these two prove themselves to be the undisputed real man’s man of FBE!
Prompt: Book Drew McIntyre’s Return (Max 1000 Words)

Nate Matthews vs T.M Imran
Before T.M Imran was an official member of the FBE roster, he was one of the guinea pigs of the Trials system, and though he managed to win over majority of his examiners, there was but one he simply couldn’t crack – Nate Matthews. A Living Legend by this company’s standards and understandably one of the toughest to impress given his unmatched laundry list of accomplishments, from his many firsts like walking in as World Champion into the first BTE’s main event or being the first Grand Slam Winner, 8 championship reigns to his name, to being the Ace at one point, it would take a hell of a lot more to catch his attention.
In the wrestling business they say ‘to be the man you have to beat the man’, so what better way to gain the respect of the OG than through wrestling him? Nate competing in the first-ever Pure Rules match in company history, defeating him in a category his name’s been forever tied to would certainly give the Fifth Asian Tiger’s career its defining moment after two Television Championship reigns that put him on the map, the two Heyman Classic entrants to get warmed up here ahead of a bid to make BTE’s main event this year!
Prompt: TBD

Regal Quarter

Bong vs Bengt Holm
The crossover appeal of FBE has brought in a myriad of names over the years from all walks of life, but above all perhaps the most influential is Bong. A staunch anti-racism campaigner from the world of LLR, he’s considered royalty in his home promotion, a G1 Climax Winner among other lauded accomplishments living the unemployed life of raising two families yet still sparing the time to whoop anyone who gives him grief. He’s Scottish, he’s unhinged, and he’ll rawdog you back to wherever you came from, no expenses paid.
If you hold a popularity contest, Bong would take the crown, but someone who’s rapidly been gaining recognition since joining in the last couple months is the one they call KillKill, Bengt Holm accruing quite the name on both Firestorm and Blitz, most recently putting up a valiant effort against the Junior Champion. With Kojot in his ear and a Bong-like affinity to deal with his problems using his fists, this Thai-tanic could be the one they warn the icebergs about, the unsinkable Bengt headed to the helm of his division if he can outshine the sheer star power of his adversary here!
Prompt: Book the push of Maximum Male Models (Max 1000 Words)

Code Blue vs Jay Castle III
Resistance III was supposed to be the greatest night of Code Blue’s life until it wasn’t. Mugged by The Aether Aces before the match could even begin and having his eye stabbed by their latest recruit, former PROSPECT member Jay Castle, he was taken out of commission that night, though it had him return even more driven, and this time with a vengeance. The issues between these two extend long before that night however, butting heads all the way back in the main event of Blitz III one year ago, where the Hometown Hero narrowly upset the now shared longest reigning champion in FBE history.
Proceeding to cross paths again as part of the famed Ark/PROSPECT rivalry, Blue getting his win back in an Intercontinental Championship Eliminator that kickstarted his recent meteoric rise, they’ve never been ones to see eye to eye, and especially after what Jay did to Blue, the chance of it ever happening is dead in the water. They say an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, but that’s the least of the Pasadena Paralyser’s concerns, not letting Castle slip by him this time as he hunts down his rival only days removed from his first-ever singles World Heavyweight Championship match, fatigued yet with the drive of an army of 1000 men to strike down with furious anger to settle their score once and for all!
Prompt: Book a Nigel McGuinness Return Run (Max 1000 Words)

Atlas Rogue vs Ethan Fadely VII
When it comes to utterly personal rivalries, Atlas Rogue and Ethan Fadely’s is very much up there. Stretching all the way back to 2020, when Sol Ace took the Son of the Roses’ World Heavyweight Championship, a mutual hatred was sparked between the polar opposites, Fadely eventually having his revenge in his unstoppable 2022 return, taking Rogue to mercy at New Beginning IV. After a bloody WarGames between Infinite POWER and REVOLT, the two met again late last year, trading victories, Atlas besting Fadely at his own game, and Ethan getting the Godfather of Pure Rules back under his district. Once Ethan formed The Aether Aces with Atlas’s former partner, the siren began to sing her song, luring the two to one more match, one year on from their previous NB encounter. And once again, it was Fadely callousing his foe, leaving him with horrific injuries to tie up their saga 3-3.
3 months have passed since and Rogue hasn’t been able to forget, the scars he sees in the mirror each morning reminding him of what must be done. Now, fully healed up, King Blitz is back for one final dance with his career rival to break the tie between them, adamant to round out his incredible Pure Rules run by beating the one that got away! In Ethan’s case however, it’s all about ending Atlas for good this time, the Portlander wanting to add to The Aether Aces stretch of top-billing stars they’ve buried in a ditch, a tiebreaking victory the most crucial one available! Will Atlas start the Summer with a dead rose, or can Ethan crush the King’s crown under his boot? Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s the Final Rodeo between Rogue and Fadely!
Prompt: Book Forbidden Door II (Max 1000 Words)

Excellence Quarter

British Rounds: Desmond Caid vs Capital STEEZ VIII
Unlike the consistent hatred brimming between the last two, the saga between Desmond Caid and Capital STEEZ has followed a rather different trajectory. Though seesawing between mutual loathing and respect, at the centre of it all has always lain a consistent power struggle between two of the elite in their quests to prove themselves the undisputed best. Starting with the opener of the first-ever Carnage Tour – which has gone on to become a tradition between the two – their story has served as a timeline of King Capital’s growing stardom against the first Ace of FBE. The first year resulting in constant failures for STEEZ, from Carnage to an Intercontinental Championship match to WarGames to the Heyman Classic to BTE II’s main event, the winds of change finally blew in his direction come 2021, Steelo scoring his first win over the Maestro in the Lifeline Classic.
Marking the start of STEEZ’s rise into the Ace spot once occupied by Caid, the narrative began to shift in his favour, coming back from a 4-0 deficit to best him each subsequent year at Carnage, with tag team victories in the Battle of the Best and Three Stages of Hell along the way, this year putting him up to 4-3. Now, they’re set to meet yet again as STEEZ receives his chance to tie up the saga, whilst Desmond looks to break his dry spell against his iconic foe. What makes this match so unique compared to the rest however is the stipulation in place. Always known for their lengthy classics against each other, for the very first time they’re going to meet under an entirely different ruleset, the British Rounds system testing their ability to work a much, much quicker pace! Caid on home turf much like he was back at Unbreakable II, if there’s anytime to cut STEEZ off, it’s here, whilst for the Bossman, writing over the crushing memories of London would be in his best interest in finally cementing himself as having Desmond’s number!

Non-Title: FBE World Heavyweight Champion Inferno vs Petite Jupiter III
After years of grinding yet being forced to settle for second best, 2023 has undisputedly been Inferno’s year, ruling the roost with an iron fist from the jump, a Booker in the Bank cash-in mere weeks in making him Double Champion alongside his X Division (Pure) Championship reign. Embarking on a murderous run with the support of The Aether Aces, he’s crushed old and new faces alike week after week in everything from a draining 90-Minute Iron Man match to a thrilling British Rounds showdown to an emotional Title vs Career classic, diving further and further past the point of no return with his bastardly streak. Sitting atop the Pure ruleset with the most matches and wins in history, using it as a means to stomp out fledgling talent and address unfinished business, it seems as though there’s no one who can stop Baba Blitz.
…That is, no one that’d been currently active. Making a bombshell return after over a year of being sidelined with injury, appearing on Blitz’s one-year anniversary to present the trophy to the Shining Light League Winner, a tournament named in his honour, Petite Jupiter whipped Buckingham Palace into a frenzy with his appearance, London giving him the perfect homecoming. One of only 2 people the Aether Ace has never beaten in his career, Inferno was quick to interrupt his British Ambition brother, though seeming more like strangers with how much has changed between them since their last meeting. Goading him into one more match by pushing his buttons like the master manipulator he’s proven to be, citing the Shining Light’s lack of victories over reigning World Champions despite his Hall of Fame career, the ever-valiant PJ accepted, setting the stage for a long-awaited blockbuster end to their trilogy!
No shortage of Pure Rules experience himself, PJ the Grandfather to Blitz if Inferno’s its Baba, he holds a win over the Brummie Bastard under the ruleset, having faced off under it at the first FBE Anniversary Show after a despaired Inferno had turned his back on his brothers, feeling abandoned by them in his time of need, PJ subsequently bringing him back to the light. Later also sullying Inferno’s first BITB cash-in, which he’s since perfected, keeping his prized Intercontinental Championship from him, he’s held his former World Tag Team Championship partner’s number for the past 3 years, but now, it remains to be seen if the story will be any different, the two Britons colliding one final time in their home country as all their experiences craft the perfect closing chapter to their tale!

FBE Pure Championship: Shining Light League Winner FBE World Tag Team Champion Dr. Logan Wright (c) vs Apeirogone 3rd Defence
The term ‘Final Boss’ isn’t thrown about lightly. Throughout FBE history, only one man’s been truly synonymous with the term. They say it’s anyone’s season until this man comes around. They claim he’s the type of guy to fly down to Hell and come back with gift shop souvenirs. World Championships, two-hour Gauntlets, Three Stages of Hell, he’s been there and won them all. Wins over damn near every single person that’s come to matter throughout the company’s history, he’s that guy. Legendary factions, shows named after him, an entire cult of personality backing him as the company’s Commissioner, what more could you want out of a person’s resume? Well, it’s not about what the people want, or what he himself wants, but rather, what another man yearns for. The chance to immortalise his name into wrestling history. The chance to join only four others in their abilities to beat this man. The chance to cement themselves as a Final Boss forever.
Dr. Logan Wright, reigning two-time FBE Pure Champion off the back of being one of only two to pin the current World Champion this year, reigning FBE World Tag Team Champion via ending the longest championship reign of any title in company history after winning 2023’s Punish & Crush, inaugural Shining Light League Winner by sweeping through 6 matches front-to-back, and the man that will carry his title into the first-ever BTE-equivalent Blitz show, P.U.R.E, has selected none other than Apeirogone to be the third challenger to his Pure Title!
For months, the Medicinal Magician has silently watched as people have lauded the accomplishments of his Ark brethren against the Infinity Ace. Cactus Mike almost taking the man to a draw. Code Blue ending his 1347-day undefeated singles streak. Kaze Tanaka sending him into retirement. But what about him? What about the final member of The Ark? What about the licensed medical practitioner that’s on the best run of his entire life despite the constant demons rattling around inside his brain? They’ve all had their chance, so why can’t he? Forced to wrestled with the “can never beat a veteran legend” stigma for years, he’s decided to put down his stethoscope and declare no longer! Even after there’s no reading on his ECG and 0 of his 206 bones have been reduced to dust, he wants to the world to remember his name!
So, it begs the question – What happens when one of the greatest of all-time steps outside his comfort zone and into the kingdom of another man to fight for only one of two championships he doesn’t have hung up on his wall? Will Apeirogone avenge his previous losses to The Ark by taking away the prize that breathed life back into the soul of the Doctor in his first-ever BTE-style main event? Or will Logan Wright silence the critics until the end of time, keeping his undefeated streak extending back to January, keeping his unbeaten Blitz Big 4 streak, and keeping his Pure Championship by felling a legend? It’s the Final Boss of Blitz versus the Final Boss of FB to close out P.U.R.E!
Prompt: Book Kenny Omega until Double or Nothing 2024 (Max 1000 Words)

All bookings are due on June 3rd at 11PM EST, so don’t delay on those. Fourteen star-studded matches on the card featuring 39 unique competitors – the most there’s ever been on any FBE show in history – let’s make this a memorable first P.U.R.E, lads! Pure rules.

2023.05.28 23:21 Queen-of-Arab 23 [F4M] Alberta - Hopeless Romantic Submissive

I’m 23 years old; I grew up in Canada but I’m ethnically from the East.
I’m a researcher in the medical field. I simultaneously graduated from two programs having had 13 classes in one semester. Besides the many other things I have going for myself, my hobbies and volunteer position in the hospital keep me busy too.
A substantial part of me is the poetry I write, I love to travel, go on long drives, late night walks and star gazing. I'm an only girl that grew up with boys so my vice is video games. I love exploring new places and going out in the city. I’m a big foodie so I cook and bake as well and my nieces and nephews take up a big place in my heart too.
Besides being a super fast texter I’m a badass that can whoop your ass in call of duty. I’m also a psychiatrist in the making and I’m publishing a poetry book. You can mostly find me in the kitchen making your favourite food while I whine to afrobeats. Submissive by nature & by practice.
Now that I’ve gotten the basics down we’ll take this the “head, shoulders, knees and toes” route haha.
The following will show you exactly why I'm the perfect wif- I mean submissive for you.\viewer discretion is advised, you may possibly fall in love*
I truly believe that the way you present yourself defines who you are hence I dress to impress. I have an incredibly feminine vibe and you’ll mostly find me in skirts, dresses, corsets and heels. I do usually quiet a room when I enter so you can imagine on your own.
I love to collect lingerie so there is no in between of what I wear to bed, it’s either that or your t-shirt and thigh highs because I have an obsession with socks.
I cannot see (-3.75) so when we wake up in the morning its a plus point for you that I won't be able to make out your messy self- hence you have enough time to fix up before I pop my lenses in haha.
I do wear glasses but only at night or when I plan to tease you with a glasses acquainted outfit.
I have three tattoos all around my upper thigh and hip area; as you can see in the attachment above.
My level of emotional intelligence is very high and I'm very in tune with my emotions. I'm someone that wears my heart on my sleeve so if you have my attention there isn't anything I'm not willing to do for you whether that's dressing in your favourite colours or waiting for you at the dining table after I've set a beautiful table with a yummy dinner.
I may be 5’3 but I’m feisty and can pack a punch so get ready to tussle in bed when you try to restraint me because I rolled my eyes at you. That being said I might take a completely different route sometimes and just tippie toe as I tug your shirt and pull you down so I can whisper what I want in your ear and make you melt as I give you doe eyes. You won’t even know what hit you until we’re on our way to get Nutella ice cream and Boston pizza way past my bedtime Daddy.
I can't do math. sorry can't be your dream mathematician sub "What's 37+56 you ask? I don't know love & I don't plan on finding out so unfortunately if we ever have a budget, you're handling it."
I'm very attentive and I pay attention to detail and I'm not afraid to go the extra mile to show you how much I care.
My love language is physical touch and quality time
I don't have a lot of hands on experience but I have been in D/S relationships before. Most derived from long term relationships so I'm not into casual or short term things for mere sexual activity. I like to understand you as an individual before I pursue you as a dominant.
Submission Style:
Domination Style Preference:
Could be one of any above..
*24-45 years of age
I belong to you in mind, heart, body & soul. I would exist for your pleasure in turn I would want someone that could read me before I can even understand how I feel. Someone that could lay one gaze on me and put fire within my soul. From across the room, in heavy gathering or the mere distance of me standing before you, our bodies must speak before your tongue eloquently guides me. Someone that could understand the happiness that resides in a rainy night for me. How I imagine us intertwined in the sheets, your hands in my hair, your gaze on my every move and your response to every moan that leaves my mouth. For you could be looking at me for the hundredth time and I would shy away like it’s the first because you’d gaze into my soul every time.
I’m looking for someone established but that doesn’t mean you can’t approach me if you are on your way there. I want to build a life together.
*location doesn’t matter as I’m willing to relocate
Kinks:
Limits:
“Every night when silence draws near I would stand in prayer and thank my god for writing them in my destiny. Climbing into bed, pecking their lips soft enough that they feel me in their presence but not enough to wake them from their peace. I’d trace my fingers around their mesmerizing features, memorizing every inch of their face like it’s the last time I’m seeing it. There is no part of me that wouldn’t belong to them. Physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. I would be that one possession in their life that even if they lost everything they would still think they have the world at their feet because they has me. I’m a simple women, I prefer a rose over expensive gifts or even a small gesture like their smile when they hold my hand could make my day. They and I.. we’d be two pieces of one heart and soul.”
Wilting Love 🥀 (a long time ago)
me
If any of this resonated with you, don't hesitate to message me with a picture of yourself and whatever it is you’d like to say ☺️

2023.05.28 22:54 isranon what to add to my "regular foods"?

I cook for 2, my wife is Vegetarian (Not vegan) and has a small stomach. and I'd like to think I'm a solid 7.5/10 cook. Problem is I feel like my cooking isn't varied enough, i'd like to add more "main dishes" to my fridge and cupboard. I usually make Pasta, Pizza, Burgers/Sausages, The occasional Salad, Baked potatoes, Beans'n'rice. What else could I add to my shopping list?

2023.05.28 21:14 SwissCheese4Collagen The !s Fertility Tour Part 2: BabyMoon Booglaoo / Hawaiian Getaway Leaving Our Son For a Week

The !s Fertility Tour Part 2: BabyMoon Booglaoo / Hawaiian Getaway Leaving Our Son For a Week
Howdy folks, The !s beat OfNostrils to the punch on the Tube this week fueling my theory about Kath!'s Kompetitive Nature. If she didn't beat her to the birthing suite, she was going to get that Friday night scheduling slot. OfNostrils is up next in my queue of recaps.
But anyhow, they open with Jed! calling Tru! "Chickies" which, is repeated before the end of the 20 second intro as he is passed off to his grandma on Kath!s side. At least Tru! in staying with Grammy! we won't be hearing "chickies" every five seconds. Tru! Is handed off to Grammy! after being fussy and crying the entire first half of the intro. When I comment that Tru! Learn how to cry in Italy and he has been throwing a tantrum when he sees the camera, Baby Swiss says that Tru! gained consciousness too early, he must be replaced...Too bad his parents don't recognize or care that he doesn't like being on camera. They fly over the Grand Canyon and Jed! Steves shows it to us through the window.
Tru! is the opposite of the Baby on Dinosaurs, he's a Grammy!s boy
Jed! successfully pulls off the \"hang 10\" move with his hand.
They arrive in Hawaii for their anniversary trip, it's the first time leaving Tru!. Kath! says that Tru! is doing well and so are they. Well no shit, you're in Hawaii and he doesn't have a camera stuck in his face.
They walked through the "drizzles" to find breakfast, McDonald's if I were a betting woman, Kath! does her very best Mary Anne from Gilligan impersonation beachside. Meanwhile Jed! tries to comment on how Hawaii is the prettiest of the 50 states, but the captions think he's hungry and change it to steaks. He gets as mushy about the beach and mountains as his brother J'Obnoxious James did about Switzerland.
I'm scared to know what he thinks is a good steak.
\"Let's Go Cruisin' \". Let's not. Kath! wisely films while Jed! \"cruises\".
The !s pickup an "SS Camaro", even though as a car salesman Jed! should know that you usually do the model then the trouble but can't draw that too long because student yammer on about how convertibles are the most rented car in Hawaii. Of course they are, it's perpetually 80° and sunny. People are on vacation, and want to treat themselves. Kath! however has a different theory, she says "it's a must because it's so beautiful here." The captions once again prove they have no love for Jed! as they turn "let's go cruising" into "let's get crazy". Kath! gets some scenery J'B roll as Jed! drives up the tip of the island. The wind tries to do us all a favor and blow so loud that it almost drowns out Kath!'s voice as she states that Jed! is going to set up his drone to flyover for Hawaiian scenery content Non-tent. After Kath! splashes in a couple of beautifuls and gorgeouses into the conversation the drone takes off and gives us the scenery footage.
Judd aka Jed! #3 in Home Adrone 3: Hawaiian Vacation!
The next day begins with one of the craziest sentences I think I've ever heard is Jed! states that he was "burnt to a pulp". Apparently Jed! got sun poisoning because he didn't wear any sunscreen for three hours of Hawaiian beach time. Proving that Blame Shifting was a key subject studied in the Wisdom Booklets, his excuse is that there wasn't sun at home because it was winter and just now turning into spring. Kath! had no problem putting some sunscreen on herself. Either way they hike up to Manoa Falls, a "big" waterfall which ends up being tall but not wide. The !s also point out streams, and shades of green...the way they made it sound was like it should have been basically Niagara Falls on steroids. Kath!s magic pregnancy shirt takes her from eight months to four months. This is not a conspiracy, we know these fools actually get knocked up though, I just want to know where she got the shirt because it is extremely slimming. She says the hike is not as easy as it set on yelp and not just for pregnant people but also for people with sun poisoning. Both said it was worth it.
Burnt. To. A. Pulp. like, is his brain just a MadLib or did he Chat GPT this vlog?
No Sunscreen + Toxic Masculinity + 3 hours in Hawaiian sun = S-U-N P-O-I-S-O-N-I-N-G.
I've never wanted these jokers to link a product so bad before. That shirt is magic.
Did he bring the whatsits pops this time for her?
Kath! flashes leg in the convertible and tries to flash "hang 10" but ends up more in the area of "call me" as they head to, oh Lord, they're going to go to Pearl Harbor. Let's see what bullshit they have to say about this. They stop for lunch as Jed! shoves a giant burger in his mouth. As they walk up to the USS Missouri Jed! states that he is read all about Pearl Harbor, of course he has. I trust SOTDRT's history lessons were also from the Wisdom Booklets and probably have some story about how a sailor prayed his way through the attack on Pearl Harbor or some shit. Great. Kath! is excited to see it, not sure why you would be excited to see something like this but not my vlog. She's also happy it's cloudy and they are going to be inside to give their skin a break from the sun.
They read the engraved plaque about the surrender on the USS Missouri deck. Both say that this is it "this is where World War II ended" Jed! says that "it ended right here, well here the deck not here Hawaii" basically. They go inside and Jed! states that he learned something new about Pearl Harbor. I can't tell if he learns something new every day and this is a common experience to him because he didn't learn anything as a kid or if he just doesn't learn anything wonders through life perpetually just avoiding knowledge. He was named one of the one that was supposed to be good at school with SOTDRT, and both he and Kathy mentioned they don't like reading the things in museums but that's the only places they go to. Well let's see what they learned from this museum shall we?
What happened to all the BeAuTiFuL sUnShInE?
The !s begin to tell the story of the Japanese attacking Pearl Harbor, states that the planes and a lot of boats were destroyed and damaged. Since the US thought that the Japanese are going to come back invade Hawaii. Both told a different aspect of the invasion defense plan, Jed! mentioned the barbed wire on the beaches and asked Kath! to explain the second part which was marking Hawaii on all of the money so that the Japanese couldn't use captured US dollars to devalue Hawaii's economy. Of course these chucklefucks don't even come close to explaining it that succinctly and it sounds like the Hawaiians printed Hawaii on all the money that if they invaded, then no one could use it. These poor children, we can only hope Kath! doesn't have the patience for homeschooling and they get shipped off the public school. Although knowing her rich ass she's gonna send to a J'boarding school she has to. Jed! blathers on about how he had no idea that Hawaii was an invasion target, despite saying he read all about it.
\"Very Interesting\"....what does he even mean? Is Obama not allowed to have any association with restaurants?
Off they go to Hawaiian shave ice, Jed! points out that there's "lots of flavors, so Hawaiian". Among the options listed are Waiola Rainbow and an Obama Rainbow. I will absolutely lose my shit if either of them picks the Obama Rainbow option but my official bets are that Kath! will take the Waiola Rainbow and Jed! will pick something like Grape. Of course Jed! makes some weird comment about how it's interesting that there is an Obama rainbow option, and discovers Obama is from Hawaii as a cashier salesman on his recent American History knowledge. See what I mean? Does this happen to him every day or is he just like constantly oblivious? Turns out, Jed! picked strawberry and lemon lime for his shave ice, which is basically the figure red pop and Sprite combination so a fundie Shirley Temple? Kath! on the other hand, proves she's pregnant by choosing bubblegum and banana. Yeah, now I really need to know where she got that shirt or Kayte #5 was standing in on the hiking scenes. Kath! mentions that the shave ice is not like "shaved ice", a.k.a. snow cones, which she says are "Icy", while shave ice is creamy. Almost like gelato, huh?
I wouldn't have picked either combo, what is wrong with their tastebuds?
Since it's a rainy day the next day they end up at Kualoa Ranch, Where Jurassic Park movies and most importantly, according to Jed! Christian movies like Soul Surfer have been filmed. They show us, but it's raining so they don't want to go. Back to the car they go where they show mountains on one side and on the other side of the road like they aren't in a state comprised of tiny islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean? Next day, they rent scooters like they wrote in DC a couple of years ago and had a blast. After that they drive around until they get to their last day in Waikiki.
Was Kirk Cameron in that movie too?
Rain and Scooters: A Hawaiian Lurv Story
She better hope he puts the top up.
The !s toss the extra suitcases that won't fit in the trunk of the Camaro into the backseat. What could possibly go wrong with this scenario? I hope they buckled the little bastards in before they flew out of the car. As it is, suitcases are so packed according to Kath! that she has to wear big giant floppy hat. Between that and the suitcases, I'll be surprised if it all makes it to the airport with them.
The !s get preferential service from Southwest Airlines being allowed to pick her seat and board first due to what the airline employee calls "her temporary disability". Excuse me, Southwest Airlines employee but that's a "precious blessing from the Lord, an arrow for Big Head Jed!'s quiver" thank you very much. The !s take advantage of it, though and happily scurry onto the plane.
Did she buy a shitload of clothes even though they didn't get their luggage lost again?
They get to the condo in Maui, floppy hat securely on Kath!s head. Jed! finds the pool as Kath! shows off the garden. They get dressed for dinner because it is their second anniversary and they're going to a fancy restaurant. Jed! says "these have been the best years of both of their lives". Kath! chimes in that "it's not just a cute cliché either". Whatever you say kids. What are they having for dinner you might ask? Kath! sings "Italian!!!!!!".......this damn bitch was just complaining, in ITALY, about how she didn't want to eat Italian food. Anyways she goes and gets American Italian food by ordering Carbonara, because now she's "always curious about it after Italy". Meanwhile Jed! orders a pizza margherita. Mr. Swiss guessed they had pizza.
I'm surprised Jed! didn't ask her what cliché meant when she was popping off from the couch.
Who wants to bet that Ra! already has a matching smocked dress to match Kath!...?
The next day, they're going snorkeling with turtles and hopefully whale watching, if the whales haven't left for the summer. Jed! tells us to "stick along" as Kath! tells us Jed! has never snorkeled before. The convertible wasn't all it was cracked up to be or Maui was out of them because now they just have a plain old Impala. Kath! jumps in the water first and shakes her head no when Jed! asks if it's cold. They jump in and take some underwater non-tent.
J'Chad...
For the last day in Maui they take the road to Hana, a 3 to 4 Hour drive. Jed! comments that stops along Hana Road it can be up to 10 hours. Rookie. They do stop along the way when they find a horse, Jed! asks for bread and Kath! hands over what appears to be a Bundt cake in Saran wrap. Jed! breaks off the tiniest little crumb to give this horse. Apparently this was a trick, because the next thing you know they get stopped by a rockslide. Maybe you should give them the whole piece a cake to the horse then maybe the rockslide wouldn't happen but whatever. Jed! gets out to get the rocks out of the road and wishes all he had to do was sweep cracker crumbs up.
We get to their last meal in Hawaii which is at a Chick-fil-A, go figure. They say "Truett" three times, Probably hoping to make the owner appear like a genie out of the styrofoam cups. They promised to take us along for the ride and catch up with us when they get back to Arkansas. Caaaan't wait. As Kath! speed walks through the airport, Jed! comments that Kath! is usually a slow walker, but in her excitement to see Tru! she is hauling ass. It's been 12 days, and she is ready to her son. Meech could never, but there is a wrinkle in Kath!s plan. She states that Tru! will probably be more happy to see Jed!, but he doesn't want to see either of them. Not only does he cling to Grammy!, he leans away from his mother a second time, and then tries to pull himself back to Grammy! by clinging to her shirtsleeves. He doesn't even look happy when Jed! holds him and calls him "Chickies" one more time.
Oh, I'm pretty sure he remembers you and he knows it's back to filming.
And that's the end of the Hawaiian baby moon/anniversary vlog, so now I guess all we have to do as far as The !s are concerned is to wait for Ra!s appearance to be announced. It's cracking me up that Tru! is so pro-Grammy! Thanks for your patience this week, and if I missed any typos let me know. Mr. Swiss said we should have set the dictation software to a Southern accent since I was just on vacation and I'm way more on the Kentucky end of a Kentuckiana accent right now. But otherwise, this method should make it way quicker to do recaps once I get everything set up and dialed in. Thanks again, have a great day and a better one tomorrow!

2023.05.28 20:20 EzekialX Vulturebeard: Bad Roomies Part 2

Part 1: https://www.reddit.com/ReddXReads/comments/13lfqkw/vulturebeard_the_legbeard_that_ruined_roomies_fo
Hi everyone, bunny here. I’m having Ezekial post this for me because while I lurk on reddit, I’m on too many online communities and burn out quickly on all of them. I’m just here to tell this incredibly long tale. Pull up a chair, grab a snack, get comfy. This is a long ride.
The Cast List
Bunny (author): 33, female, a year or so out of a divorce that turned toxic and abusive and ultimately helped me realize I was gay. Recovering lifelong doormat slowly building a spine. Neuro spicy gym rat with major depressive disorder, general anxiety disorder, and most recently diagnosed with ADHD. Unfortunately very familiar with surviving trauma.
Z (poster): My partner. 31, nonbinary (they/them), also neuro spicy with depression, anxiety, OCD, BPD, autism, and also familiar with lifelong trauma.
One Liner Beard (OLB): 33, male, neuro spicy with ADHD and depression. He also suspects autism but isn’t pursuing a diagnosis. His nickname here comes from the fact that in messenger, he usually has one-word replies like “oof” or “mmm” as an acknowledgement he had seen the message but has nothing further to contribute.
VultureBeard (Vulture): 30, female, neuro spicy and disabled with multiple conditions. She has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, POTs (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), autism, depression, anxiety, chronic migraines, but also possibly a list of things that may or may not be real – that will all be explained. The star of this unfortunate circus. Her name will be explained in this part.
Kid: 3. Female. OLB and Vulture’s child. Likely neuro spicy like we all are, but she’s also only 3 years old. Slightly speech delayed and not potty trained yet.
Minor mentions:
Shit ass ex-husband (SA): name is self-explanatory. 32, male. Divorce was amicable to keep the peace. I immediately went no contact with him after.
J2: Friend of OLBs.
You ready? Deep breath. Now let’s dive into this mess.

Chapter Two: VultureBeard, or the Walking Diagnosis
With the backstory of how we wound up with a neckbeard, a legbeard, and their kid out of the way, I’ll start on VultureBeard properly now.
J2 was the one who introduced her to OLB. He ran into her at a local convention, and they talked and spent the day together. He ended up sleeping over at her house, on her couch, since she lived a few minutes away from the convention center, and he introduced her to his D&D group that OLB was a DM for. He said that at first, he wanted to smash just based on looks (before she stopped caring for herself, before the pregnancy), until she opened her mouth.
Oh boy.
I met her on Halloween 2018 or 2019 (trauma made my memory absolute garbage, ain’t it fun?), when OLB wanted to run a one-shot Curse of Strahd campaign for our D&D group. J2’s group was called Party A, we were Party B. Both of our campaigns existed in the same universe that OLB created. It was a fun one shot. I liked her. We integrated her into our D&D campaign as a side character who joined our party.
With her autism, she talks a lot, and can have a conversation with anyone, but she does naturally miss a lot of social cues. She says it’s okay to be direct with her and say things like, “I can’t talk right now, I’m busy.” But in the wild, she just enjoys people. That in itself isn’t a bad thing.
When we met, she was a Mormon with long brown hair, glasses, and modest clothes with long ankle-length jean skirts. I don’t know if that was a lifelong practice or just the people she had associated with. She didn’t curse at all, and still substitutes “fudge” for my favorite and most often-used curse word. Over time, she dropped religion, but she only curses in text, and very rarely at that, like when she’s pushed to her mental limit. She still dresses in a lot of the modest clothes from before, but it’s mostly because she doesn’t go clothes shopping a lot. I have passed down some clothes I have shrunk out of to her.
Her fashion sense is a bit of Walmart-meets-Goodwill. The tired mom “this is clean, so I’ll wear it” kind of aesthetic. She’s big on thrifting, but so am I. Most of my wardrobe is thrifted or passed on from a few gym friends these days, so it’s not like I’m poking fun at secondhand clothes. It’s just that there’s a lack of style or effort on her part, like she just puts clothes on and sometimes remembers to brush her hair out. I think there’s a part of her that doesn’t recognize she’s plus sized after pregnancy because she once bought clothes that are size medium, and they didn’t fit. She fit my old 2X leggings. I traded her leggings once, my bigger size for her smaller size.
She and OLB don’t fold laundry or put it away, so she will have laundry stuffed in their hamper that they keep in our shoe closet next to the laundry room, or boxes on her desk, or on her desk chair. They kind of live out of that clothes pile. If she needs to dress in something nice, it likely is wrinkly because it was in an unfolded pile.
The first run-in with realizing that something was a little “off” with her was when she tried cooking for us. We had other friends over to play D&D and Magic with us, and she wanted to cook some kind of chicken and noodle dish. With her POTs (post orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), she’s usually sodium deficient so she adds way too much salt to whatever she’s eating. Not being used to cooking for others, she served us completely inedible chicken that was too salty.
One of my former friends was there for that debacle. What she also noticed was that Kid seemed to be behind some childhood markers. At 2, Kid was still using a bottle and didn’t seem to talk much. She was worried that Kid would keep falling behind. It was a red flag that got tucked away. At the time, I was still thinking of Vulture as a burned-out first-time neuro spicy mom. That’s a lot for a disabled woman to handle. As a disabled person myself, I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt. I gave her too much benefit of the doubt for way too long.
Vulture as a person focuses very much on herself. Because of the body aches and pains that come with both Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and POTs, yes, I understand that her body regularly fights itself. But why is it that every time her body expressed pain, she had to do a loud, “AH, OW” or other pain noises as loud as she could? Or she will complain about whatever is giving her trouble. Some days she will be using her computer quietly, then when I come out of my bedroom, she starts to complain about her daily aches and pains. This happens pretty much every day, for different reasons. Her sneezes are likewise as loud, to where I can hear her across the house, through a closed door and over the show Z and I are watching.
Most awkward is Vulture’s bathroom habits. In Apartment #2, I guess Vulture got used to using the bathroom with the door cracked because they lived in a house without roommates, and she needed to keep an ear on Kid. Even now in a shared space, she keeps the door cracked, sometimes with the light off so I don’t think anyone is in the bathroom because it’s more migraine friendly.
Until I hear the grunting.
THE GRUNTING.
THE POOP GRUNTING.
I have heard it through my closed bedroom door, because her bathroom is right next to my bedroom. Usually, it’s when my bedroom is quieter, like when Z and I are off to sleep. But I hear her grunting as she’s using the bathroom, either because the door is open, or she is just that loud. I’m terrified to know which one it is.
Her hygiene is questionable at best. I know personally that Depression™ makes hygiene and self-care extremely difficult. I myself do the best I can, especially while being constantly sweaty at the gym and a Big Sad (depression) fighter. So, I get mental illness and hygiene. With Vulture and her long hair, she would leave it in a bun for days until it matted. She asked for my help with detangling it and it took me around two hours to safely work the mats and tangles out. When she cut it in a homemade attempt to do the popular wolf cut on Tik Tok, it was much more manageable. When it’s shorter, it has tight curls. She constantly has a natural body odor smell to her. I think with her sensitive skin, she has to wear a specific unscented deodorant, but I don’t think she applies it unless she’s leaving the house. The sink in her and OLB’s bathroom is used as mostly a storage space with things piled on top of it, so I don’t think it’s used for much. The bathtub needs a deep scrubbing, and she gives Kid a bath more than she herself showers.
Having heard the poop grunting, I’m afraid to look at their toilet.
In general, Vulture isn’t active, but to say that she’s sedentary is a vast understatement. The average sedentary person looks like an Olympic athlete next to her. She occupies two spots in the house: Her bed, or the couch in the living room. For most of the day. She will just have her laptop either on the table next to her or in her lap, and that’s where she spends most of the day, gaming.
With me being a gym rat, I am incredibly proud of how I went from a couch potato to a weightlifter. When I think about what would happen if I suddenly dropped to her levels of activity, I know my body would fall apart. I often wonder if her lying in bed or on the couch contributes to more of her body pains because her muscles are deteriorating from disuse. I mean what do I know, I’m not a doctor. That body pain cycles to her being even more inactive because she hurts. It’s a big cycle of negativity.
When the weather changes drastically, she will be hit with migraines or allergy attacks, to where she has to lay down all day as well. She takes OTC pain medicine frequently, as well as allergy meds. One of her desk cabinets is a well-stocked mini pharmacy of OTC medication and some prescription medication she has collected over time that expired over a year ago. When I’m hit with a rare migraine, I know she will have something in stock for it.
Her doctor says she needs to eat more frequently because she’s always shaky. She will hold up her hand to show me how much it’s shaking, and it always looks as though she’s making it shake from the wrist, instead of it being an actual hand movement. She always tells me, “Look at this,” and holds up her shaking hand, like she’s trying to show me how bad she’s doing, but it’s for different reasons every time. She didn’t eat, she’s too tired, she has a migraine, she has sinus pain – everything gives her shaky hands, which I joked about once.
If she has a new symptom, she goes to Doctor Google to look up what’s wrong with her, and then talk in our house chat on discord that she thinks she might have “so and so” wrong with her because the symptoms match. Or she will post screenshots of whatever her symptoms are. As far as I know in the time living with her, she’s never had close medical calls or anything that needed further treatment, except for a heart study where she wore a device to monitor her heart rate. Doctor Google gave her all sorts of things she could have, though.
Within the time I started writing this saga, I had this encounter with her in the house group chat on discord that she, OLB, and I are in, about how she thinks she’s allergic to mosquito bites because the bites swelled up and got inflamed:
Vulture: Just figured out something I’m most likely allergic to: mosquito’s saliva reaction is increased inflammation around the bite site and the condition is skeeter syndrome.
Me: You should get that confirmed by a doctor. It’s mosquito season.
(it sounds like she copy/pasted that bit about mosquito’s saliva from Google)
Mind you, my former in-laws thought I was allergic to mosquito bites because the same thing happened to me. My mosquito bites swelled up beyond what they should look like, and mosquitos have a good nose at finding me in particular compared to other people. I tried to empathize with her, even though it just seemed like she wanted to identify with a syndrome she found on the internet.
She said that she had the same symptoms her friend’s dad had for GERD because her acid reflux was acting up. The GERD saga is a fun one as well, which I’ll fully share later.
Funny enough, if I also have something similar to what her current issue is, she doesn’t play Oppression Olympics and say hers is worse. I’ve been dealing with vertigo on and off for the past month and I don’t have the ability to see a doctor for it at the moment. So, when she says that she’s dizzy or the room is spinning, I express empathy or at least a little “oh, same here,” because I have to carefully move my body in ways that don’t make the room spin. It might be her autism, it might be because she doesn’t care, but she never expresses empathy my way. She just moves on.
I’ve told her multiple times she needs to see a doctor to check for each new symptom she has, but somehow there’s an excuse. The latest I’ve heard is, “I will once my phone is turned back on. It hasn’t been paid in a while.” Valid yes, but then please get off Google. Because she’s on government assistance and doesn’t have a car and doesn’t know how to drive, she’s ferried to her appointments by a medical bus that stops at the house. They do need to be able to call her. Just please get off Google in the meantime! I’ve even told her that Doctor Google and WebMD will say everything is cancer or fatal and it’s not good for you, and she just kind of brushed it off.
One of my friends calls her the Professional Victim. Z is convinced she has Factitious Disorder (formerly called Munchausen’s). She loves to hide behind her illnesses as to why she can’t get out of bed or can’t do chores. If you were to listen to her every day, you’d think she was falling apart at the seams because it was always something. Migraine, body pain, allergies, sinus problems or sinus infections, stomach problems, dizziness, shakiness. Repeat. Forever.
She will ask me if her forehead feels hot, and when I can’t tell, she checks with a thermometer. She says, “My natural body temperature is low so 99 degrees is a fever to me.”
This is also where I gave her a lot of benefit of the doubt at the beginning, because EDS and POTs will affect the entire body in different ways. One of my friends, in her casual dark humor, will have conversations with me about how she’s just not going to be able to walk properly that day, because her ankle joint slid out of place, but she still finished her work shift. I talk to my friend regularly about her struggles with her body, but somehow it doesn’t have the same self-pity that Vulture’s does. Every disability presents differently between people. As rare as EDS and POTs is, it’s pretty common in online communities because it’s where people tend to flock to. In my time in varying disabled online communities, I’ve never seen someone who complains or fishes for attention as much as Vulture does.
If she’s having a relatively good day, she will either be gaming, or maybe she will get to one of the chores that OLB tries to get her to do during the day, like doing the dishes or cleaning Kid’s room. When OLB had prescription Adderall (before the shortage made him switch to a different ADHD med), she took one of his pills and was zooming around actually being productive. She has symptoms of ADHD but doesn’t have a formal diagnosis, so OLB thought it might help her. It seemed to.
If she has a bad day, which is most of her days, she stays rooted on the couch or moves between her couch and her bed, moving her laptop with her. She spends all day building in Minecraft, completing her Pokedex, or playing other games.
Sometimes when I come out of my room to cook, she says something along the lines of, “I planned on cleaning today,” followed by vague hand gestures of how she’s feeling. I never asked her about her daily plans, but she needed to tell me. Is it self-awareness or guilt?
If she’s doing a load of dishes, she will loudly proclaim that she’s dizzy and shaky and in pain and have to go sit down after 10 minutes of that. I don’t know if she actually has the body strength to stay upright for longer than ten minutes at a time, and I don’t know if that’s her actual chronic illnesses, or the fact that she doesn’t do anything at all.
I’ve given her the same advice I use myself for low spoon (low energy) days when I need to get things done. I’ve told her it’s okay to take ten-minute breaks and then get started again. Or an hour break, if her body is giving her trouble. I’ve told her it’s okay to clean the house while sitting on the ground or in a chair, if that’s easier on her body. In managing my broken mental health, I’ve taught myself all sorts of life hacks, or as I call them, “brain hacks,” to work around how gross depression makes me feel. And I’ve told her that if it’s a really bad day, the dishes aren’t going anywhere and can wait until tomorrow.
That’s meant to be compassionate, not taken in the “if you give an inch, they’ll take a mile” sort of way, but it must be interpreted as permission to not do The Thing. It just won’t get done if she feels she has permission to skip over it.
If she does anything, she will want metaphorical ass pats for her good work. OLB jokes that it’s a praise kink, but some days it really seems that way without anyone consenting to participate in her kink. She asks if I noticed she cleaned the kitchen or did some kind of cleaning and if I’m proud of her. I used to play along with the praise because I wanted to give her positive reinforcement, like maybe if I emphasized that it was a good thing, she’d be more encouraged to do it more. I’ve got jokes, apparently. Optimism was so strong early in the friendship.
If she cooks, usually it’s something frozen that she can heat up like pizza. Most of the time, she exists on boxed macaroni and cheese or sandwiches. Or what fast food OLB brings home. Most of her diet is processed, instant, or frozen. Or she eats odds and ends like what cereal and junk food is brought home from the food bank or when OLB goes shopping.
Since SA left the house, I took up cooking for myself and exploring what I like to cook, as SA was the main cook for the house. My gym regimen helped me meal prep and confront a lot of my bad eating habits, so I started prepping healthier foods. I am the stereotypical lifter that eats a lot of chicken, rice, and vegetables. Z also likes to cook, and it became a way for us to bond by cooking together or one of us watching the other cook and just vibe in each other’s company.
VultureBeard gets her name because, one, she is a legbeard. But two, every time I made something early on with her living with us, she always said something along the lines of, “Ooh, that smells so good! It’s making me hungry!”
Me, in my doormat stage, took the cue that she dangled and offered her some of my food. Back then, I always tried to cook enough for the whole house. It became a pattern. If I cooked something, she always popped up, hungry and unable to make actual food for herself or somehow her illnesses were acting up and preventing her from cooking for herself. If I said I was popping over to the store, sometimes she would ask if I could pick up a soda for her and occasionally, she would be able to pay me, always in loose change because her disability payments went right to the bills that she and OLB had. I always took the bait because yeah, doormats will doormat and vultures will vulture.
She does reciprocate in small ways, sharing some occasional treats with me or saying I can have some of her mac n cheese or Oreo cookies or French fries or whatever food she has some days. But for the most point, a lot of her behavior feels like fishing – fishing for attention, for food, for confirmations of her medical issues.
Her general attitude towards housework also contributes to her main other issue that makes me want to scream. She hoards. Empty salsa jars, Nesquik containers, pizza boxes, mac n cheese boxes. She holds onto things that Z and I see as garbage, because she has dozens of DIY projects in mind. She would be the person that followed 5 Minute Crafts for useful projects. To her credit, she did make a nifty sock organizer out of spare cardboard. But she has dozens of empty frozen pizza boxes and macaroni boxes piled up on her desk and ideas in her head, but no actual execution of them. I have pictures on my phone of her desk hoard, and while the desk itself is tall, the pile on the topmost part of the desk reaches the ceiling. That’s at least two feet of buildup.
It drives Z batty. With their OCD, Z can’t stand seeing the general mess in the house, but her desk makes them want to throw things. There was an empty Pizza Hut box that spent a week on the floor under the table in the living room before she finally picked it up and moved it to her desk. She scolded my cat for jumping on it.
Vulture: I want to save it for a project, I just don’t know what I want to use it for yet.
Me: Why not just throw it away? Isn’t it garbage?
She only gave a vague shrug, and the pizza box stayed on her desk for another few days until while cleaning the kitchen, Z got tired of looking at it and finally took it out to the outside garbage bin.
This is a constant pattern for her. She hoards things that she sees as something that could be useful in the future, but in the meantime it all stacks up and takes up space. She and OLB both are pack rats, which I think enables it further. OLB said that she also hoards food when she thinks there’s a food shortage in the house, but that also includes things that shouldn’t be eaten or are close to being spoiled. She freezes produce and even bread dough she made because she would start projects and then not have the energy to finish them or deal with them properly. I think if Z and I weren’t in the house, it would just be a rat’s nest of garbage.
That was why Z and I took on the majority of housework. We have a current setup to deep clean the common areas of the house monthly, and anything she doesn’t pick up that we read as trash will get thrown out. It’s barely making a change in the house, but it’s better for our mental health. It’s unfortunate that the house barely stays clean for two days after we clean it.
OLB usually has an excuse for not contributing towards the housework. His ADHD makes him forgetful, plus he hates dishes and purposefully avoids them until he knows he has to deal with it. He’s mostly just exhausted from work. With Vulture? Ten thousand excuses.
With OLB working an exhausting but consistent tech repair job, that leaves Vulture in charge of Kid during the day. If she exists entirely in her bed and the couch, how is she able to keep up with a toddler?
Oh, that’s going to be a huge tale on its own. Fuckle the buck up. We’ve got a long way to go. And yes, it will make you angry.

How to safely pay with cryptocurrency

https://preview.redd.it/s8jd04iven2b1.png?width=1440&format=png&auto=webp&s=bed2d2111d299ac3a6bbab6e93457cae8472ba81

History of the emergence of cryptocurrency payment

More recently, the cryptocurrency community celebrated an anniversary, 10 years ago, programmer Laszlo Heinitz paid 10 thousand BTC for two Papa Johns pizzas. At the time, that amount was $25.
In 2013, it was already possible to pay for a product or service using cryptocurrency. To make the transaction, the two crypto-enthusiasts exchanged their cryptocurrency wallet addresses, as well as agreed on the method of transportation and receipt of the goods. Thus, the history of using cryptocurrency as a means of payment began.
History knows of other big purchases and sales:
  • multimillionaire Oliver Janssens ordered a plane ticket from Brussels to Nice and paid in bitcoins;
  • an anonymous buyer bought a Porsche Cayman S from a Texas family for 300 bitcoins;
  • a Dutch miner, sold his own house with all his possessions for 85 bitcoins in the fall of 2017.
However, in conservative circles, the prejudice that cryptocurrency has no value and that platforms that provide transactions with digital assets are fraudulent is still strong. This opinion was formed after exchanges like Mt. Gox and FTX left their clients without assets.
To be fair, it may be noted that in the financial sector there are as many fraudsters, just think of Sergei Mavrodi's MMM, which was revived 4 times in Russia, each crash left millions of people without savings.
In all these crashes, the culprits were people who were overcome by greed and stupidity, rather than advanced technology and tools. But still, how to make cryptocurrency payments as safe and convenient as possible?

When it's not suitable to pay by card or in cash

Payment through the bank is accompanied by the risk of blocking the transaction, if the amount exceeds 50100 thousand rubles. The bank may suspect you of fraudulent activity if you suddenly decide to buy an iPhone off hand and pay by transfer from your card. You may need to call the support service or go to the office. And what to do if the office is far away, and today is a day off?
Cash in this case is a great option, but with large amounts of payment, the process, transportation, recalculation, payment causes difficulties, especially if you need to pay in another country. By the way, transfers to other countries are now also complicated by bank restrictions and sanctions.
You have to remember that when you pay with bank cards, the money is often stolen. A bag with money can simply be snatched and run away in an unknown direction.

Why use cryptocurrencies

Cryptocurrency is a new generation of world money. Unlike fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies are electronic and decentralized, not controlled by the government or private entities. They provide the ability to make payments for goods and services without intermediaries such as banks.

Due to their global accessibility, low fees and anonymity, cryptocurrencies are used in various fields of activity. One of the main advantages of using cryptocurrencies is the ability to make purchases directly for digital assets. Here are some examples of goods and services that can be purchased with cryptocurrencies:
  • Apps, games and digital subscriptions, such as those from Microsoft;
  • Mobile communications in Canada and the United States;
  • Fast-food restaurants, such as McDonald's;
  • Tax payments;
  • Tourist trips;
  • Real estate in various countries such as Thailand, Turkey, Montenegro, Georgia and the UAE;
  • Remuneration for remote workers;
  • Buying goods and services in hyperinflationary countries such as Venezuela and Argentina.
There are already crypto-accounting services for businesses that can be used to make payments on completed contracts, such as MFPay.

What can happen when making a payment

However, there are some risks to be aware of when using cryptocurrency:
  • Mistakes when sending funds, wrong wallet address, which can lead to loss of funds.
  • The possibility of getting into fake sites or hacked accounts, where scammers can get your money.
  • The risk of receiving "dirty" cryptocurrencies or transferring funds from unscrupulous senders when buying from unverified sites.
  • Poor e-wallet services that can make transactions difficult.

What should be done to secure payment


Photo:freepik
To be safe when paying with cryptocurrency, you should take precautions:
  • Carefully check all details and choose the right blockchain network at every step of the transaction;
  • When using cryptocurrency for the first time, it is recommended to make a test payment or split a large amount into several payments;
  • Use complex passwords and store them in safe places, such as an encrypted file or password manager;
  • Verify counterparties through multiple sources of communication, such as email, Telegram, or a profile on an official website;
  • Be aware of the reviews of the services and platforms where you plan to conduct cryptocurrency transactions;
  • Pay attention to the level of commissions and limits on the selected services, and make sure you have enough money in your wallet;
  • Use antivirus software and update it regularly.
If you have difficulties or don't have enough time to figure out the process of paying with cryptocurrency, there is no need to worry. There are specialized services that ensure payment security and transparency, as well as provide support. For example, the AWEX service enforces AML / KYC policies, protecting customers from risks. Experienced operators can help to understand the application process, payment and receipt methods. All you need to do is register, read the instructions, or contact support via live chat.

Сonclusion

Cryptocurrencies represent a new generation of money that has a number of advantages, such as global availability, low fees and anonymity. They can be used for direct payments for goods and services, bypassing intermediaries in the form of banks.
The development of cryptocurrency payment infrastructure continues to gain momentum. Some countries already have multifunctional wallet applications that act as banks, debit cards and exchangers. Cryptocurrency ATMs, which allow exchanging cryptocurrency for cash, are also emerging.
It is important to understand that there are always doubts and uncertainties at the beginning of the introduction of new technologies. However, history shows that over time people overcome their fears and adopt new forms of payments and technology. Cars, cell phones, and bank cards were once feared and misunderstood, but now they have become an integral part of our daily lives.
Therefore, with the advances in technology and the benefits that cryptocurrencies offer, today you need to get familiar with digital money and create your first cryptocurrency wallet.

2023.05.28 16:48 CuzEdwardSaidSo 36 [M4F] #quebec / anywhere - Looking for a woman with an appetite

I want a woman with an appetite.
An appetite for affection, for attention, for sleazing and teasing. Also, pizza!
With a hunger to step out of the boundaries set for themselves either by work, insecurities, social pressures, or cultural hang-ups.
A little more about myself - I'm 35 years old living in Canada. I with with my hands, and have an appreciation for the tactile - whether it's cooking, playing drums, camping and outdoorsing, or just prattling away on my laptop when I have the time to keep my couch warm! And yes while I know my way around the kitchen - i'm awful at baking! so bonus if you like to make a mess with some batter :)
if appearance is important - well i'm 6' tall, white and slim, with shoulder length dark hair and blue eyes. I like to think I have strong features and nice body definition - but of course that sort of thing is naturally subjective!
I don't have any expectations on how you look - but I am looking for someone playfully self aware, with a sense of humor, and who doesn't mind not taking me or themselves to seriously. After all - reddit is for having fun! Meeting people and talking about things that may be difficult to do in the spooky real world
I doubt many will reply to a weird ad on a random week day - but to those who made it this far, you earned it! let's chat.

if appearance is important - well i'm 6' tall, white and slim, with shoulder length dark hair and blue eyes. I like to think I have strong features and nice body definition - but of course that sort of thing is naturally subjective!
I don't have any expectations on how you look - but I am looking for someone playfully self aware, with a sense of humor, and who doesn't mind not taking me or themselves to seriously. After all - reddit is for having fun! Meeting people and talking about things that may be difficult to do in the spooky real world
I doubt many will reply to a weird ad on a random week day - but to those who made it this far, you earned it! let's chat.

2023.05.28 16:32 Sugar_Phut Future Bear Markets

I’ll preface this post by saying I don’t know shit about fuck. Here’s my Sunday morning wake n bake thought.
Will future bear markets be less volatile for Bitcoin? I’m talking a couple more halvings from now when the rewards for blocks mined are less than 1 bitcoin.
A few things behind my thought are increased scarcity and hopefully self custody is vastly increased.
Of course there are many variables that can throw the markets off like China banning crypto for the 69th time, another exchange going under or Satoshi performing the ultimate rug pull.
Thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully engage in some positive conversation. Cheers!

2023.05.28 13:48 d0lli_gxts 19 [F4M] #SATX / #US/EU - Sweet & nerdy, queer brat craving to be tamed & structure by intelligent daddy/mommy Dom. " Hello, you. "

𝙎𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙉𝙤𝙩𝙚; I will NOT, respond to low effort messages. I put a lot of effort into writing this, trying to be clear and concise, PLEASE match that! Flood my inbox, I enjoy that! :D Long adventure ahead, traveler. Buckle up! 🎀
Hello there! My name is Aspen, I'm 19, & will be 20 in less than 3 weeks from now. I'm a sweet brat, that is ultimately looking for a forever Dom to start fresh with and can take care of her fully, soul, body & mind. I'm looking for a LONG-TERM ROMANTIC DYNAMIC! I post every now and again, and I've decided to sit down and rewrite myself a bit better!
( 𝙏𝙞𝙣𝙮 𝙎𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙮-𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙚; There are photos of me on my profile, but I'm happy to share more photos of my face when comfortable! ) 🎀
Now, I do have some must-haves if you are to DM me! • ꒰ I'm okay with just about anyone (21+) as long as you don't look your age/look good for your age, and can be mature when asked of you. ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ • ꒰Please have experience or willing to learn about neurodivergent people! ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ • ꒰ Please be 420, piercing/tattoos, mental health friendly (you do not have to participate in 420, just be friendly/non-judgemental about me doing it!) ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ • ꒰Please be experienced through research/knowledge, and practical experience with kink/BDSM in general. ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
That concludes my must-haves!
Next up on this adventure is about me!
Heyo! My name is Aspen, as we know. I'm a neurodivergent & autistic switch, with a sub lean! I work as a graphic designer, and I'm also an on-stage performer for theatre/actress for work, and I love my job!
A big pintical part of me as a person, is that I am neurodivergent, and a high needs sub in addition to that. Kink IS a lifestyle for me, and I need a Dom that can make time for someone like me. I absolutely adore descriptive partners, and ultimately, DO need that as apart of my accomodations as it allows me to better understand you and helps me process things better! It's also important to say I have bpd, please do your research/be experienced with mood disorders like that as well! I can be a bit of handful, don't waste your time with me if you are not willing to take the time to understand me as I am for you.
Heres a bit about what I do, my hobbies and special interests!
I adore baking/cooking, history/periodic stuff. Theatre Arts, arts n crafts, sewing, wood working, and so so much more! I absolutely love bugs and some insects, and my favorites are bagworm moth caterpillars, death head hawk moth, and lace bugs! I can/and most likely will go on and on about how much I appreciate them and why we should protect them at all cost! I've been studying bugs since I was about 6, and they are my comfort special interests. More so a trauma response, but yeah! A new thing I've been investing my time in, is writing lore for a new stuffed animal of mine! And I'd absolutely love to tell you all about my sweet boy! (Stuffed Animal) If you're interested in doing so! His name is Oswald, and a monster many of my stuffed animals, I love him deathly.
Looks are important, soooo! Down below, I've attached a description of me. I'm 4'11, 96 pounds/generally slim, have 6 piercings (3/6 are facial),big sparkly eyes, button nose, big & pretty smile, and a nice butt! Generally my style is alternative, (romantic goth, fairy, & gloomy coquette!) But my style is generally ever changing, and evolving always. I'm also a sucker for pretty lingerie and heels.
More nerdy facts about me are, I'm heavily into dnd (it's a hyperfixation), getting into Star Wars and, I plan on doing a marvel marathon soon! I'm currently having a Harry Potter marathon. I'm heavily into psychology and true crime. I adore learning about what makes the brain honk and twist in ways and what not! It also helps me understand myself more and more. I adorreeeeee history, and have a bunch of history facts logged into the back in my brain; maybe we can go on endless conversations about some we've beven thinking of. Like I said, I adore history and periodic stuff, big fan of regency period, what's an era you enjoy or idolize?
Now, what am I looking for you may be asking? Read along!
I'm looking for a long-term dynamic, that can not only be sexual, but romantic! I'm looking for an caring, compassionate and nurturing person who isn't just looking for a quick fix/fling. I'm looking for someone that will take the time to earn my submission, and learn me as a sub. The end goal is to be owned, soul, body, & mind. I'm a sapiosexual in nature, and I love intelligence, and intellectuals. If you can write walls of texts, and tell me everything that fascinates you, you are my type entirely. Take control of me, and tell me sweet nothings.
( 𝙏𝙞𝙣𝙮 𝙎𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙮-𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙚; If you live near by, or even in the same city, I'd absolutely adore to go on a cute little date (sfw), to further get to know each-other. I'm also open to relocation if/when I'm comfortable, and if/when that comes up in the future!) 🎀
I have 7 years of experience in general BDSM and more, out of trauma unfortunately, however I am on the personal adventure of healing, I'm currently 2 years self harm free, on the road to 3 years! Back on track however, I would prefer someone with atleast some experience. I'm looking to indulge and get to know a dominant, before I'm to accept him in as "mine". I'm looking to have a foundation dynamic of cg/l, with other things added into the recipe (Sub/Dom, Pet/Owner, etc etc.). Nothing is completely set in stone, but this is what I primarily want, though it is on the table to discuss!
My preferred submissive style is very mixed. I'm a little at heart, and someone who has pet temdicies aswell. Kink is a lifestyle for me and thus, I'm looking for a tpe style dynamic, but nothing is set in stone and everything can be discussed to fit both of our needs and quirks!
Structure is really, really important to me and I'd truly love to have rules, punishment and reward system, a schedule perhaps, and just general stability provided and given. I also have some more extreme and rougher kinds, so preferably someone that's willing to do some of that. I like effort and consistency in a partner, and especially people who know and can accurately identify what they want/are looking for; I don't want to be an experiment! My love languages are love letters, parallel play & additionally time together, physical touch and that sums most of em up! I'm looking for someone that is ultimately sweet, stern, sadistic in all the right ways, but nurturing and can protect me. Someone patient is definitely a must, and someone who can communicate effectively and very concisely! I struggle with communication, so having a Dom to work with me through situations, and being patient with me is much needed and appreciated.
Onto what I'm NOT looking for, do not pm/dm, chat or message me, if you; are looking for a fling, fwb or nsa. This being said, I also am not looking for "discreet" people, starting affairs, or anything illegal. Like I've said, I'm looking for something long-term and fulfilling, not something short and sexually relieving for a few hours.
I AM OKAY, with single people, couples (consensual), people of ANYY gender! In a relationship, I'd say I admire someone who isn't serious all the time, and someone who is confident in who they are and who they're with; don't be ashamed to be seen with me, or distant in public. Hold my hand, look at me like I'm the prettiest thing in the room. Be proud of me, just as I am you. Be confident in what you can/have to offer.
I'm a very sweet, caring, loving, and otherwise; affectionate person. I will try my best to accommodate you (within reason), and support you! I'd prefer someone who isn't busy day in-and-day out, (if you have plans stacked from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed, we won't work.) as like I said, I'm a high needs sub. But I definitely can give you space when you need it and respect you when you go to work, I'm a hopeless romantic when I attach to you and I write love letters from the heart to remind you how much I love and appreciate you, and much more. I'm a huge experimentalist, and don't mind much but I do have my limits; primarily I don't have anything I'm wanting to try as of late, nor am I looking in particular to try something new. A major plus about me is, I have a very long and in-deph kink list (and more importantly, a limit list.) I also prefer if you weren't heavily religious, traditional, or political (preachy types.), or anti-lgbtq+. As long as you aren't an asshole and put effort in, I will be willing to talk to you!
YOU SHOULD BE/ARE; I'd personally prefer if you were chubby, for built-in cuddle machine, though it's not an absolute must. Over 21, and also neurodivergent. A woman OR bearded, tattooed, or have piercings. Queer preferably. Goofy/silly sometimes, can hold a conversation/good conversationalist and have time for me/willing to make time for me as I am for you. And of course match with what I'm looking for and what I want. Similar taste and interests.
To wrap this up, to start of the conversation, send me a DETAILED introduction ( no, bare minimum doesn't count. >:c ), of yourself, and in it, please answer one of the following questions; What is your favorite bug or insect, your favorite musical (no Disney doesn't count, to make it extra hard), not a fan of either? How was your day/night yesterday? I'd love to call and get to know you, as I think we can better understand eachother. and I also need it as it helps comprehend your tone and such.
Even if you're not interested, thanks for coming along on this adventure, traveler, here's 58 tokens for your troubles, good luck! 🎀

2023.05.28 07:39 nana_had_a_fall Ashley taking covid into an infusion ward: a retrospective.

Ive recently read some comments on a post from the Ashley_carnduff parody tiktok by an Ash enthusiast who writes:
“This is horrible. Why would you take time out of your life to actively bully someone else? Someone you don’t even know…smh”
When her taking covid to an infusion ward was brought up many times this Ash apologist response was:
“As for the covid thing, I’m pretty sure she didn’t know she tested positive until after. Ashley quarantined better than any other person I know”
“I’m pretty sure she didn’t know” - pretty sure isn’t good enough, especially in light of the fact that WE have EVIDENCE that she DID know. The absolute champion who screen-shotted Ashley’s post about feeling symptomatic before it was deleted will forever be a hero IMO. But let us never forget how hideous and unforgivable this action of hers was. Let’s take a moment to really fathom how fucking garbage Ashley is for doing this.
Ashley’s mother tests positive for covid. She makes a post about the “thing we’ve been fearing has finally come into our house”. She then quarantines at the neighbours place who are away, to eat pizza in a spa while wearing sunglasses and sticking her tongue out. Rock n roll. She then posts about feeling symptoms. She then deletes that post. She then goes to her infusion. She then tests positive for covid the next day and alongside a picture of her positive test she writes: “before you come at me with your bullshit narrative…. I did everything RIGHT!” She tells us that the nurses were aware of her situation, that she tested negative and was given the go ahead for her infusion, she was only seen in a private room by two nurses and all while wearing protective gear.
Sure, Ash. Fact remains that the two major things that health care providers needed to assist them in assessing covid safety protocols was and always was 1) covid test and 2)are you feeling any symptoms?
Why did you delete your post about being symptomatic?
Let’s just think for a second JUST how despicable Ashley’s actions were in deleting that post. How manipulative and premeditated it all was. She wanted sympathy for being exposed to covid cause she’s so VuNeRaBLe, but then she also remembered her precious IV pics for the gram were far too important to jeopardise, so she deleted the post and any evidence that she suspected she had covid… take a minute also to remember how full on ash was about demanding space because she has auto immune issues, you know, like cancer patients have. Through covid and beyond she demanded people wear masks and social distance. Was actually being an advocate by focusing attention on the need to protect the vulnerable.
“Ashley quarantined better than any other person I know”
Yes, Ashley quarantined to protect herself. And the ONE moment it counted for her to quarantine to protect others she erased evidence of her symptoms because she wouldn’t sacrifice her IV pics under any circumstances. The ONE moment she should have “stayed the fuck home” was the one time she didn’t. There is absolutely ZERO chance the medical staff would have permitted her in if she had told them she was symptomatic. False negatives were common knowledge which is why asking about symptoms were always so vital. Again, why delete the symptomatic post?
This isn’t just mind blowing selfish recklessness… it’s arguably, criminal.
And to this Ash apologist, who is “pretty sure” Ash didn’t know she had covid when she sauntered into a building accomodating cancer patients- does it change your view of her when we confront you with the evidence that she did in fact know?
I write this post mostly for any newcomers or fence sitters or indeed any Ash apologists who think pushback against her and what she stands for is somehow “bullying”
This person, who garnered sympathy as a health compromised person, who tried to market herself as an advocate for the vulnerable, who lectured the public about covid safety,- knowingly took covid into a medical centre because she valued vanity shots of her Hydration fluids above the life and risk to literal cancer patients.
You’re “pretty sure” she didn’t know. Well I’m “absolutely certain” she did and also quite certain that Ashley is a lying, manipulative, deceitful POS who risked peoples health a safety IRL for the sole purpose of a fucking Instagram post.
This wasn’t some innocent ignorance that in hindsight was a bad decision. This was a wilful and conscious act. Hiding and destroying evidence prior to committing a reckless act is proof of premeditation and I’m not “pretty sure” about this, either.

2023.05.28 05:40 Jam5583 We had a delivery today.

I am not a doordash driver, but we had a delivery today. It was an order from a take and bake pizza chain. My friend had order pizza for everyone while we were visiting some friends from out of town. Our order showed up and I brought the two pizzas inside only to find out that we had some missing items. Which I saw the driver and I figured I could go out and ask if he might of forgot something. This man was visibly shaken I’m not sure what was going on but I asked him about it and he wasn’t entirely sure because he just closed out the order which I understand. So while he was trying to contact support I just called the pizza shop and confirmed that the other part of the order was still there, and told them I would just swing by and pick it up. I told the driver that while he was still on hold, and he seemed scared. At that moment I assured him that everything was ok and I didn’t mind making the trip. I went back inside and let my friend know the situation and asked that they don’t report a mistake because the guy looked like he was having a rough day. My friend end up messaging him and wishing him well and tipping him more while I was out.
If the person that delivered to us today is reading, I hope things get better and I’m sorry for causing you any anxiety over the situation.

2023.05.28 02:37 SpaceApeSlim Where's your Offseason fantasy roster at?

Mine is pretty wonky and only works if Kuzma takes a paycut, CP3 gets waived, and the Suns can somehow fleece the Blazers.
Scoot/Book/Durant/Kuzma/Jock
Cam Payne/Simons/Ross/TJ Warren/Nurkic
Bizzy Craig Okogie
Run 'n Gun coach
Edit: This is a work in progress. I am asking what other folks' fantasy roster looks like at this point in the offseason with the information at hand. I am just having fun with thinking of what I would like to see coalesce and wondering what that is for others. Half-baked is the order, people, have fun.

2023.05.28 02:09 potionexplosion just had the worst panic attack of my life lol (tw)

i'm really scared of long car rides bc i get worried i'll get sick during them. i also hate just being stuck in them, it sends my agoraphobia up a wall too. unfortunately had to go on one today with my dad, we had to move a bunch of my furniture from my apartment because my lease is over in july. it was like a little under 2 hours one way. the way there, i was honestly fine... but then i don't know, on the way back, i got stuck in a tic loop with my tourettes and it caused me to gag a little, so i panicked and told my dad to pull over on the highway, and that was the beginning of the end i think.
i think i needed him to pull over so i could breathe and swallow to finish my tics like 4 times? but the 5th time was the worst, bc it really suddenly spiraled into an awful panic attack. my hands had started going numb a bit ago, and we were on this stretch of the drive where there was construction on these one-lane backroads, so there wasn't any good places to technically stop. and my agoraphobia freaks out with no potential escape routes, so it spiraled and he had to really suddenly pull over even with like 5 cars behind us because i really truly almost v*'d from the panic alone.
my entire body pretty much went numb and locked up, i could barely move my arms and they were bent in at my chest, and my hands were totally locked up in these really painful positions tbh, i couldn't move my legs at all either so i just kinda collapsed in the dirt on the side of the road feeling like v* was rising up and like i was about to start heaving because the numbness and tingling had even gotten into my stomach and my head. it was genuinely so awful. but at some point my panic went from "oh god i'm about to v*" to "oh my god i literally can't move" and at that point i realized i was just panicking... my dad had to literally haul me up and open my hands for me. in retrospect it was kinda mortifying lol...
but now i'm stuck because i am still scared it wasn't a panic attack, i was actually about to v*, etc... i told myself no taking zofran, if it happens it happens, so be it, but it's still terrifying lol. i hadn't eaten since 7 AM, and it'ss now 8 PM. i was able to force down like half of a small baked potato but then i started getting n* again from panicking so i just put the leftovers away in a container... i'm gonna try to go back to them in a little bit bc i really am hungry, it's just so hard to make myself eat when i feel like this :(
anyways tl;dr: worst panic attack of my life, my emetophobia and agoraphobia kicked my ass, i feel like i got run over by a truck, the only positives to this were me not taking zofran as a crutch and actually forcing myself to eat even a little bit of food despite being terrified of it
i truly wish i could be over this... therapy and my medication is barely helping atp lol
