Re: Is this weekly schedule legal in terms of break time? Blue is 15min break, no class name is 40 min break

What do you think?

It looks like Monday, Wednesday, Friday there is only one 15 minute break for 5 hours and 15 minutes of work. Tuesday has a 45 minute empty block AT THE END of the day, not during it. And Thursday has no break at all.
AND classes are stupidly scheduled without even a 1 minute gap in between. Look at it, 2:00-2:45, and then another one starts 2:45-3:30 etc. Is this a good idea? What if you have to take a ****? Someone's going to complain you missed 5 minutes of class, depending on the type of **** you are taking.
Article 54 (Recess)
(1) An employer shall allow workers a recess of not less than thirty minutes if working for four hours or a recess of not less than one hour if working for eight hours, during work hours.
(2) Recess hours may be freely used by workers.
​

What would you do?

It's not a bad schedule, 2pm-7:15pm, so would you complain about it? Would you drop the law to your employer? Would you add up on Microsoft Excel all the days you were not given a break and charge them at the overtime rate at the end of your contract?
It can be a long day considering you'll almost certainly have to leave after 12, and be there by 1pm for meetings and prep, unpaid. Now it's 1pm-7:15. You're basically skipping dinner and not eating or drinking for a 5 hour block.

I have been looking to join a DnD game for, well years – unsuccessfully. If you are in the same boat, consider us! Rather than try to find an existing game to join, I’ve decided to host my own at my house: I have a dedicated gaming room with a table that sits 6 – so, we are looking for 4 more players (the two occupied seats are for myself and the DM).
If you are also tired of trying to find an existing game to join, send me a message with the following information:

• A/S/L
• Experience (in playing RPGs)
• Availability (which nights of week/weekend could you attend)

Below are a few details to consider:
What’s the catch? Well, for most people, I suspect it will be my location: I live in Lago Vista. If you are new to the Austin metro you probably have no clue where that is. That’s okay, I didn’t either until I moved here. :P I am roughly 20-25 minutes west of Cedar Park/Leander. (As a point of reference, the Costco on 1431 is about 25 minutes away).
I have a good friend who has agreed to be the DM. He has considerable experience being a DM for a variety of game systems, and is an exceptional story teller. We will be starting off with the Hoard of the Dragon Queen adventure module [which for those of you that care is a 5e module]. Our ideal is to run the game 2 nights a month. We will take a (more detailed) poll among the selected players to determine precise day/times for what works best for the most people, but our initial thoughts/preferences are to play on the weekends, twice a month, for about 3-4 hours each session. Just a little bit about me, the DM, and the space we will be playing in:
I’m male in my early 40s, unmarried, 1 dog (who cannot access the dedicated gaming room), business owner, former musician, lover of all things fantasy. (I’ve lost track of how many terrible B films I’ve watched just because they had dragons in them). While I have not played a DnD game before, I am familiar with some of its lore - having read a good number of the Dragon Lance books, all of Salvatore’s work, and I enjoyed all of the Neverwinter Nights video games (as well as myriad other fantasy worlds books & games). I’m an Excel geek, organized, clean, and just in case you are a true unicorn – a massive Battletech/Mechwarrior fan (the reason I have a dedicated game room). I even managed to work a few dragons into a Mechwarrior campaign I DM’d for a friend a while back. It was an unusual campaign for the Mechwarrior setting, but pretty fantastically integrated. If you like, or know of Battletech, you may need a towel for all the drooling when you visit the game room – it’s almost embarrassing the collection I have amassed.
A little bit about the DM (as described by me, not him): Male, also in his early 40s. He is a married, successful businessman working for a ridiculously large company with 2 girls that live with him and his wife part time, lover of animals, sci-fi, fantasy, and a gifted charismatic story teller. He excels at drawing people in and has a true gift for improvising on the fly as needed.
Both of us love beer, cocktails, wine, sci-fi, fantasy, good company, and lots of laughs.
We are both open minded. We don’t care if you are a he, she, we, them, they or whatever. People are people, and that is all that really matters. If you are a purple alien that only eats peanut butter you are more than welcome to join as long as you enjoy having fun and promise not eat us!
A little more about the space: I have plenty of parking – my two separate driveways can park six cars easily (I’ve hosted parties with 20 people or more here). The dedicated game room is not enormous, but can easily fit 6 of us. If we decide we need more room, I do have a very open dining area with a large table. There are refrigerators located close to both of those rooms if you want/need to keep drinks cold, and when we decide we need a break, there are 3 bathrooms in the house. [This place was built for entertaining]. I am fine with discreet vaping indoors [no huge clouds please], but any actual smoking will need to take place outside.

Hello, so this my trip report:
I started drinking hot water with ginger and some mint leaves for the nausea. Probably through 8-9:40 PM. I don’t like to puke, and frankly haven’t thrown up once in a sold 7 years or so, but I wasn’t willing to do it on psychedelics.
At around 10 PM I put all the seeds in my mouth and started chewing them. At first they were hard, but of course the enzymes in my saliva… and my teeth lol, softened them up. After some time it was pretty much a uniform pulp, with seeds still detectable to the touch of my tongue/between my teeth.
After 20 minutes of chewing this pulp up further, in an attempt to make sure no seed remains unable to be digested by my stomach, as well as an attempt to maybe start some sublingual absorption, I finally let it go down the hatch.
It went down my oesophagus in three parts, as I wanted to make sure before each part, that it really was all ground down by my teeth.
So finally, it was all gone. Now I was ready for the tripping part. I played some games, and I started remembering some interesting things, unrelated to the games at all, about my childhood.
It took me aback slightly, and made me believe that I’m entering some sort of psychedelic headspace. This had me excited I’m not gonna lie, but I didn’t let that get the best of me, because I still wasn’t sure of anything.
Couple minutes passed, I got bored of playing and put on some music, and I noticed my arms were feeling heavy. When I focused my attention on that, I started feeling nauseous.
Immediately I started think “okay, the Morning Glory seeds is definitely getting absorbed, but that still don’t mean it’s LSA for sure. Could just be the other alkaloids in em.
Well, I started feeling really hungry so I got some candy and went to bed, where I started watching a cartoon show. I wasn’t terribly interested by the show, but I think I did laugh a couple times at it maybe?
While watching it I was somewhat thinking about GTA Vice City, I think, because I’d seen screenshots from that game earlier in the evening, right after ingesting the seeds.
After I was all done with my candy, and bored of the show, I went to masturbate to pass the time. Beating the ole shmeatstick, I noticed I was feeling kinda funny. With that in mind, I did my business,
And
Almost immediately I felt an increase of the ‘trippy’ feeling. I started noticing visual effects all around me. Everything had a sort of visual effect on it, I can only describe as the acid effect lol. Everything has this grain, oversaturation hue on it it.
Everything seems sharper, brighter.
Aside from the outer effects. My headspace is getting really weird. Perhaps because of the vasoconstriction, or partly because of it, my body feels hypersensitive and numb at once.
I know the sensation im feeling in my head, if it was exponentially risen by 100, it would mean I’d be off my shit beyond any rescue attempt. Im talking let that bo die he gone.
But it wasn’t all the way there. I remember in that time, I was thinking: “man im feeling loopy. Im not sure i like this”.
I had some trouble formulating thoughts quickly, efficiently, but not the point LSD wit weed had me at once…
I left the bathroom, got all dressed and went to eat (again lol)
When I entered the kitchen, the floor again was under the acid effect. It looked really bright, and as if there was this fog all over it, maybe 5 cm off the ground level. I was noticing this and was very entertained, because I still knew what was going on with me, and wasn’t completely demented like I was on acid.
This reminds me of like a Star Wars ship floor. Maybe not 100% accurate, but maybe u lot get the gist
I ate some fruit and they were exquisite.
Then I went back and laid down in bed. Then I was on Reddit for… idk 3 hours maybe? Pretty much without break. I tried to sleep briefly, but after maybe 10 minutes I just accepted that it ain’t gon happen at all.
But, during this night I pondered the important issue, most prevalent problem in my life, and even tho it’s certainly not a solved case, I do feel somewhat better, especially about the fact how well I could collect my thoughts and make them into sentences to write down, than when I wasn’t off the LSA. Thanks to that, I could explain to myself some important boundaries, and show myself some acceptance and understanding.
Honestly I’m feeling pretty blessed. I feel this lovey feeling that maybe you lot feel on psychedelics. Just seeing this morning makes me giddy lol. And I’m really craving a cigarette hahaha. I’m feeling somewhat nostalgic… which in my case is s very good thing.
I’ve been on this sort of feeling for a couple days now for some reason, but this has grown now since I ate the seeds…

I am so thankful to be alive but it wasn't always this way. I felt it deep down, the gratitude for living but it just didn't feel right. It didn't sit well with me so I challenged myself. Not to see how wrong it was but to challenge my belief. It crept up on me when the light would shine just right in an unperfect moment I would recognize and store years down the line, how unperfect this moment was in time. It was always perfect or I made it perfect. I was the light and life in it's stillness and slow beauty, not moving but always changing was always so perfect. Such peace and joy, serenity and love by just existing. How could this be when my mind convinced me otherwise? I have such a love for life and in any moment I could taste freedom if I wanted, I could feel love, I could be fearless. There was no end to what I could create. It felt real but, I was made to believe it was all fake and that it wasn't real. What I could see in front of me, what my mind perceived in the world was nothing of worth so I internalized these structures. My mind could not register anything that would cause me to feel the way I created so in it's unfathomably methodology it refuted it's truthfulness, it's realness. What I would them perceive in front of me would be all the things that made me sad and sorrowful. The distaste it gave me from what it could perceive, for how it was able to comprehend the world. I saw my friends hurt me, saw my family neglect me, saw the people around me living in lies and continuing cycles making the same mistakes over again. I was suddenly so filled with pain. I picked up on their energies. Pain never bothered me but the intention to hurt me, killed me inside, I could never understand why, it was the worst kind of betrayal. My brain could suddenly see all the things around me that would hurt me. I was thrown into a state of survival. My gorgeous brain only seeing the things that harm and hurt. Reminding me that the world is dangerous and a not so good place. I abandoned my state of being. I could no longer take the alarms ringing in my head, the panic in my body if I did not live my life and accept it in a certain way that would allow me to function better. I use to be so hopeful, so extroverted. Slowly overtime I reassessed myself. I no longer claimed to be an extrovert, I then claimed ambivert and overtime I accepted my role as an introvert. I accepted my place as a lonely soul, not lost, not confused but hurt inside. I fulfilled my hermit role one day believing I would be a Sage or a Shaman, anything to explain and lead me on, anything to subside the guilt to what I was doing to myself. Anything. Their had to be a reason for my separateness, if I was not allowed to be in the world then maybe it was because I was never meant to be, we had to reason it out, reason all of it out. Find out what happened to us, why we felt the way we did, what went wrong. Where we went wrong, what I did wrong. I had to not only know I had to make it make sense because there was this ticking time-bomb in my stomach trying to speak out the truth. Trying to claw it's way out, trying to make me believe again. All this time hiding and fighting. Knowledge was my control. I began digging. Tearing everything apart like a rabid animal. Snarling in a trap, ripping up it's bedsheets, I was vicious and this was dangerous. It harmed me in the end and it hurt like hell. I broke everything, I demolished and destroyed everything I had. The tension built up with the help of external influences, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't be, I couldn't see. I had somewhere to go. Something I held tight to and refused to let go of, I bled the way I gripped it so tight. It was mine if only I could break myself better. Break who I was, I could get it. I broke my mind. Crumbled to pieces, shattered like a mirror, I was surrounded by broken glass. The shards, the pointy ends. What have I done? WHAT HAVE I DONE? I can't pick this up, I can't fix this. The glass shards cut my hands, as I desperately tried to collect all the pieces of my mental. "Why would you do this?" I thought to myself. Oh, the blame I felt, the guilt, the self hatred and loathing. I destroyed myself, the damage I had caused myself that could never be reversed. I was my own monster, my own demon. The break of bond between my spirit and myself. I had destroyed it all. I did not like it so I went scavenging and I hit something that seemed made to collapse. A shaky hut poorly built, doomed to fall that I was living in. My own mind was poorly built on shaking foundations that faltered on me and I thought it was my fault. It was doomed to fail. My mind now in pieces, my world collapsing all around me, I lived in doomsday. It was my apocalypse. I built from the ground up again. This time with say in the matter for how I wanted to see life again. From what I knew deep down, my own truth to living. I got it half right sometimes but it was better then nothing. We had no money after all so on some spots I had to plaster the walls with what I could find, maybe some mud and straw until I could find a suitable material. Maybe some bricks like the little piggies in that story book. My mind was enmeshed, intertwined, and confused. I had pieces that didn't fit together and pieces that didn't fit at all. My mind was fractured and split. Utterly in pieces. Sides of myself combated the other. I lived in a time where there was no compromise. No decision that could be formulated on any action taken in my life. Everything was at a halt. I couldn't decide what I wanted to eat, how I wanted to dress, I couldn't formulate view points and make statements. I didn't know who I was. I was in constant distress from being pulled in a tug of war by two extremes of myself. I was absolutely distraught. All the while I had to not only keep a calm demeanor and put on a brave face for the world. I had to keep grasping and holding on tight to something that kept floating away from me, kept being just out of my reach, my grounded purpose for why I did what I did. I had to succeed, I came too far, gave up too many things, I sacrificed myself for it, I couldn't let it go, I was told not to let it go. I had to keep fighting, keep pushing. There were times where I didn't eat, other times I overate, times I couldn't sleep, and times where I only slept. My whole life was flipped upside down and I did not know balance. I did not operate out of a place of harmony. I met my shadows that crept in the night. They taunted me and did not let me sleep. I went on medication and my demons haunted me in the waking world. This isn't an empowering speech about what a force I am to be reckoned with after coming through the flames such as these. The pits of fire I embodied, the deep levels of hell that melted me. My hands calloused from trying to climb out of the well I had fallen in. At the bottom of that well it wasn't water, it was fire and I didn't make it out of there, I burned. I burned alive. I died. There was no coming back, there was no surviving that. I was ashes, but my soul burned like hot coals. Still surviving, still managing. How heavy the world was, how tired I was. How dark and suffocating, everything closed up on me. I wanted to die. My physical body wanted to die. I almost tried to. I saw it as a mercy until a voice said No. Finally, everything was quiet so I listened to it. For a second the voice that said No gave me something I was looking for, a definitive answer, a taste of consciousness on settled ground. The voice so strong and stern, sure of itself. The peace in its absolute. How all the other voices were silenced. I never understood my true intent so my mind kept gripping to what I was originally chasing after. I knew there was hope again, that voice gave me hope so I attached it to my manifestation. I knew there was something more out there. I dug through my past. Searching, trying to reason, trying to find something that might be contributing to my pain, in order to move forward to my goal in sight that I was desperately reaching for, my purpose for shattering my mental, I crawled out again. I must succeed, so I took a detour. The fastest route wasn't straight at that point, I couldn't see straight. I accumulated knowledge at an exceeded rate, gaining expert level knowledge on structures of being, finding tools to build my new home. Building up again, my mind. They say if you spend all your time in your head you might as well make it a nice place to be. My head was not a nice place to be. I had a lot of neuron pathways that lead me to dark places. It was a labyrinth outside the boundaries of space and time, all consuming, a monstrous black hole where light didn't exist. I found my beasts, my demons, and dragons that ought to be slain. One by one, I went to war. Winning and sometimes losing battles and like a Viking not afraid of death just awaiting Valhalla, I was ruthless. I had nothing to lose and all to gain so I slayed, I became murderous in the end, killing parts of me left and right to find a holy grail perhaps out of pure luck. I didn't know I would find a jackpot within myself, pure gold. I have a heart of gold. I unearthed diamonds within my being. I came back to myself. In the end it was all worth it, though my hands still murderous, remembering the bloodshed I was made to do. I never felt victorious, the thing I held on so tight to in my outside world, the manifestation I was working on and fighting my way to had finally arrived and I felt nothing towards it. I felt less than dead inside holding it in my hands. It was worthless to me and what people saw I had accomplished in the external, praising me and congratulating me, being so proud that I had finally succeed. Somehow that taunted me because they couldn't see my insides, all that I had done. What I have in my hands means nothing! Why lace my eyes once more? I feel no happiness in my success, no satisfaction, no glam or pride but look inside me now, see how I have risen. See the garden I have planted in my mind. Can you finally see my soul like I can now? Come visit and see inside, my holy grail, my light.

Horny sex therapist Ana Foxxx strokes her pussy in her office before her clients, Scott Nails and his sexy girlfriend Ryan Reid arrive. When Ana asks how they’re doing, Ryan says she wishes their sex life was spicier. When Scott reveals that his kink is being ignored, Ana suggests Ryan ignore him. Scott is shy at first but after goading from Ana he pulls off Ryan’s shorts and eats her pussy as she plays with her phone. Ana watches and can’t help but touch herself again. Ryan tells Ana her desire: to kiss another woman! Ana obliges, kissing Ryan as Scott rubs his hard cock all over both women, free-using touching their tits as they both ignore him. Scott then fucks them on the couch until he shoots his hot load into both their mouths. When he leaves the room Ana tells Ryan to dump Scott…so she can have Ryan to herself!"

Hi, I am not a beardie owner but I have them at my work. We have only had one for a while but last week we got another from craigslist. She(? too little to tell) appears to be BAR and is eating well, but my boss told me the bottom of her enclosure was caked in old feces when she was picked up.
I had a bad experience at an awful reptile facility a few years ago where they took in rescues and ended up spreading yellow fungus to 5 healthy dragons and they all had to be put down. I'm traumatized to say the least.
At my current job I bleached all this dragons bowls and decor, designated her own tools, put her separate from everyone else, and I dont interact with her until the end of my shift. I'm part time though so I'm nervous that others may not be so careful. My boss also says she can be integrated once she gets a fecal test and checkup from the vet, but I think at least 30 days in quarantine is more appropriate.
Any advice or resources?

Hey Legends,

If you are around on Reddit (not just /apexlegends) you might have heard that Reddit is changing their API policy. This threatens to kill off many widely used third-party mobile apps (Apollo, Reddit is Fun, Narwhal, BaconReader), apps which have many quality-of-life features not seen in the official app, effectively rendering them permanently inaccessible to users. The developer of Apollo has been charged 1.7 million dollars per month for API requests. This change will affect all users and moderators alike.

What's happening

On the 12th of June, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this change in policy, some subreddits will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed.
The broader moderator community has been discussing this and has released an open letter here.

What can you do?

1. Complain. Message the mods of /reddit.com, who are the admins of the site; message reddit; comment in relevant threads on /reddit, such as this one and sign your name in support, and leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app.
2. Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. (Don't spam on unrelated subreddits/threads)
3. Boycott and spread the word to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely between the 12th-13th of June. Instead, maybe touch some grass, call your grandma, or go out and eat something good instead of that microwave crap all the time.
   
4. Don't be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable, and law-abiding as possible.
   

/ApexLegends and you

The blackout happens on a Monday which is a day that doesn't tend to have any updates for Apex Legends (Those take place on Tuesdays EU time). We do not expect a large update to hit on the 12th. The mod team does not wish to inconvenience our community by disabling the subreddit for audience that largely exists outside of Reddit. Historically we've never participated in subreddit blackouts, but we're open to make an exception in these circumstances.

Should /ApexLegends participate in the protest?

Please let us know by voting in the poll, and feel free to leave a comment below. We have a week to make this decision; regardless of the outcome, this post will remain pinned for a week.
Thank you for your time.

I was eating lunch with a girl (call her Mary) I kinda knew from my law school and my other friend asked us if she should wear her blazer. She said “can I leave my jacket on?” And Mary and I in completely synchronicity said “jacket off. “ I immediately started screaming in the streets of NY & now we are best friends! Foot soldiers unite. ps Ethan you’re my case law king ♥️♥️

Silver tie. That’s the first thing I remember of him.
It was so unusual in those days, not only to wear a silver tie, but for a man in nice clothes to talk to someone like me. I’d been in and out of shelters for some time. Between fixes, I was a dead man in a living body. And no, I didn’t like it. Enough of that choice nonsense. I was in electrochemical chains, and I knew it.
He shook my hand. The grasp was firm. A smile out of an insurance billboard. Over drinks and a hot meal, he said that he wanted to help me. Money? Something like that, says he. I must have looked confused. Or maybe angry. He clarifies: “It can be money. It can be anything you want–for a price, of course.”
Why did I believe him? I guess I was desperate. Because I had waited for someone like him–someone to turn my struggles into dust. What did I ask for? The power to be free.
He shakes my hand again. Says he’ll give me that power, and someday, he’ll come to collect. On what? That’s tentative, says he, then smiles again. Secrets rattling behind bone-white teeth.
Eventually, I stopped recounting in years, and started recounting in Red.
Red 0: I’m faster, stronger. Born anew. My body feels light and airy, like a deep dream. The pull of dope is but a fleeting memory. Instead, I’m hungry.
Red 1: I killed her. Not a tear shed. Satisfaction. My face is wet and sticky and tastes like iron.
Red 4: It’s just too easy. One of them tried a gun. Nothing.
Red 7: The more I drink, the more I change. The sun is too bright, it sears my skin. The church is too loud, it screams at my soul. I board up my windows.
Red 20: I am being hunted. Time to split.
Red 23: Slow eating out here. I’m safe, but famished. Time to un-split.
Red 49: I’m a star. All over the news. They call me the Chicago Dracula. They’ll never know where to look for me.
Red 92: The press buzz has long faded. Instead, I’m a folktale. A live one. Be inside by sundown. Don’t leave your car at night. Never go out alone. That last one is my favorite.
Red 338: You found me. Clever, clever.
You asked me if I got what I wanted, but that’s the wrong question.
I always wondered why Silver-Tie never came to collect on my debt. But then I realized that, as I am now, I am not free. Between Reds, I’m a living man in a dead body. I’m shackled by my hunger for blood.
And I also realized that I don’t care a bit. I love this.
Yes, I got what I wanted. But that heroin junkie who lived on the streets? He got taken for a ride. Now I exist in his place.
And will you? No. You are Red 339.

When I was a new grad, I was in that awful "nurse eating their young" scenario you hear about. I ended up leaving my first nursing job two weeks out of orientation because my preceptor bullied and harassed me, to the point that I would cry on the way home from work. My manager did nothing about it, and supposedly AFTER I left she got a slap on the wrist for the whole thing. It left me with severe anxiety any time I was at work and crippling imposter syndrome that I eventually sought therapy for when it all came to a head during the delta wave of Covid.
I feel like I've been given the opportunity to right a wrong today. I have the chance to make sure someone gets a positive, supportive foundation in a time that is so critical that I did not get. I can take my experience and make sure no one suffers the way I did and that they feel welcomed and confident.
I'm excited and a little nervous. But this is the best way I can ever overcome what happened to me, all while supporting the new grads and letting them know that they CAN do this.
Thank you all for reading.

Brother In Law (BIL) = BIL Hell?
The Background: --I'm in my 40's. My younger sis is 4 years younger. --She married a guy about ~15 years ago. In the past I liked her boyfriends (little bro types). --Sis hubby is the cocky jock type -- played D1 basketball and his dad founded $200M+ annual revenue construction company (which BIL strongarmed took over, cutting out his sister). aka NepoBaby, but he acts like he earned it. His Dad has a yacht on call with a captain and a first mate. --He was very friendly before they got married, and I Iiked him. My parents put on $100k+ wedding, everything my sister wanted. --He turned into an Ahole after they were married. Acts like he is put out on the 2x per year my family visits. My beefs: 1) Thanksgiving dinner a few years after the wedding he charged us parents/kids/babies all $X per head at the door to his house (he had been to my house for Thanksgiving before, no $$ charge, because I never heard of that). My parents had always helped my sister out in trying times, so I was very sad to see they had to pay to eat at their only daughters house (1 of 3 houses sis/BIL had.. 2) My (feisty) wife drove an hour and a half to my sister's baby shower. My infant daughter (his 'niece') burped some breastmilk, and BIL made a big scene and tried to charge my wife for the couch cleaning fee. I have seen his kids spill before. 3) Sis/BIL threw a birthday party for one of their kids at a restaurant an hour and a half away. He called me on the road and told me that it was Dutch treat -- I don't even know where this restaurant was and I have my gift and everything. In my neighborhood when you invite someone to a random restaurant far away, you say in advance what the situation is. 4) most of the times when we get together, he only stays for a few minutes and then leaves somewhere like his room. 5) he once took my sister and their kids on a free timeshare vacation promo, which leads me to think he's very cheap. But still even most cheap people don't charge for Thanksgiving dinner and for cleaning fees.
Of course I finally responded to all this by telling my sister how much I dislike him (personally, I think he's a dork). I try to avoid visits as much as possible these days, but I hate to let the Darkside win. I would like to spend more time with my sister and her kids, etc. but I'm not sure I can afford the risk of potential $$$ fines and other random surprise bullshit.
AMTA: I love my sis but cringe when I'm around this guy. Should i rise above and just pretend it's a normal day around them, or should I pop off? Am I the uptight asshole? Advice/wisdom?

Hi Reddit, this may not be a big deal to most people, but I want to celebrate this. For five years I was in an abusive relationship. Yet I have left him and have had him officially blocked for 2 weeks today. Not only did I leave him but I cut off all routes of him being able to contact me, which I have stuck by. I am actually proud of myself! I know 2 weeks isn’t a long time, but I have never done this. I plan on this being for forever. The last straw for me was when a close friend of mine, I’ll call him Dean, committed suicide and I began to realize how much I have lost in this relationship. My ex often isolated me and distracted me from my family and friends. I would have been able to have much more time with Dean if I was never with my ex.
For perhaps as long as I have been with my ex, I have frequently been living my life through his wants and desires, which he heavily enforced on me. I have primarily viewed myself as something for him. I have not seen myself as my own person for so long. It is so freeing to finally be able to do things solely for myself. I can look as I want, and dress, behave, eat, and make decisions solely for myself.
I know Dean would be proud of me. I wish he could see my progress. I am so beyond grateful I had Dean in my life for as long as I did. I miss him so fucking much and I’m struggling so much with him being gone but I want to make him forever proud of me.

He wasn’t going to lose anyone again.
At least, that what he told himself.
Candorick sat at his bed, hands planted firmly on his face.
They reminded him too much them.
As he watched Cadia explode, he made a promise to himself.
He was done with caring.
He joined the Imperial Guard because he wanted to protect those he cared about.
All that brought was sadness and depression and betrayal.
He would kill every last one of them.
They took everything from him.
And now he was going to take everything from them.
The heretics used their suffering as an excuse to put suffering on others, and he would not allow that to continue.
But isn’t that what Candorick fought for?
Candorick looked at his hands.
“Am I..?”
Tears streamed down his face.
“No you’re not…” an slow, deep echoey voice said from a small closet hidden in the corner of the room.
“What? Who was that?” Candorick said, wiping away the tears on his face, and then looking at the closet’s door.
“They deserve it…” The echoey voice whispered.
“Whoever that karking is, come out right now!” Candorick said, shouting at the door. He stood up, and began to slowly head towards the closet.
“You must show them… show them all…” the echoey voice whispered.
“They will not trample on you, like they did to your family…” the voice said.
Candorick approached the door.
“Open the door Candorick. Open the door! OPEN THE DOOR!” The voice now screamed, the door began to shake, red light emanating from the cracks in the door frame.
Candorick stared at the door. He had to open it. He had to.
“What are yee doing Templar?” Candorick turned around. Narvast stood there, glaring at Candorick.
“Nothing, priest.” Candorick said, letting go of the door handle.
“I havith been looking for thou all day!” Narvast said. “Yee haven’t been conversing with that freak, have yee?”
“No… No I haven’t.” Candorick replied.
“Good Templar! The freak will only bring wreck and ruin to yee faith! He is an abomination who deserves nothing but hate!” Narvast said, her voice echoing through the halls of the Mourningstar.
“Have yee seen the slab anywhere, Templar?” Narvast asked.
“No… try looking in mission control, maybe he got lost again admiring all the colorful screens…” Candorick knew that was a lie. Bogra was probably still with Keating enjoying his rations. But he just wanted to be alone.
Narvast turned around around and headed out of the bunk-room, towards the center hall.
Candorick looked back to the closet. The door was gone. Candorick examined the room, no door like the one he saw was anywhere in sight.
“What in the karking hel…” It must have been nothing, maybe it was just his head tricking him, maybe someone had stuck something in his rations. It must have been his imagination. Candorick walked back to his bed, scanning the room for any signs of the door.
“How are you doing Candorick?” Candorick turned around. It was Keating. Bogra followed close behind.
“Will you karking just leave me alone Keating! You’re not helping!” Candorick yelled.
“Candorick, we’ve all lost someone important to us.” Keating said.
Bogra sat next to Candorick, his bed creaking and snapping due to Bogra’s massive frame.
Bogra pulled out the large mining helmet he always kept on the side of his pack.
“I spent my years as a baby Ogryn on Morlax… Mortac… Mornax, it was mining planet, yes? Me papa worked in the mines, mining ores for the Emprah’. One day I felt big earthquake, like when big Ogryn step. That night me papa didn’t come home. Papa never came home. He was jolly fellow, always tell funny jokes. Big beard, it pretty gray. He look like he eat lot’s a sweets. Mama give me helmet. Said it belonged to papa. Told me to take it with me for the good luck. I miss mama and papa…”
“But I move on.” Bogra placed the helmet back on the side of his pack. “It what mama and papa would have wanted.”
Keating sat next to Candorick.
“You’re not alone Candorick. Remember that.” Keating threw a small bottle at Candorick. “Catch!”
Candorick caught the bottle. It had no discernible markings on it, and it looked like the cap had been tied on by hand. A green liquid rested inside.
“What’s this?” Candorick asked.
“Little thing my mom taught me to make. Told me it would help me if my nightmares ever got to bad. Thought it might help you.” Keating said.
“So you are asking me to just drink this random liquid you just gave me? You think I’m karking stupid?” Candorick replied, attempting to hand the bottle back to Keating.
“I don’t, that’s why I asked Bogra to come with me. He is watching me give it to you. He promised to tell anyone if that you did this.” Keating said, calling Bogra over. “Tell him what you’ll do if something happens to you.”
Bogra walked over. “I’ll tell the important people the sparkhead’ gave vial of poison to the boss.”
“Nobodies forcing you to take it. It’s just, food for thought.” Keating said as he pushed the vial back into Candorick’s chest.
“How does it work?” Candorick asked.
“Hel if I know.” Keating replied. “From my personal experience, it stops a lot of the ‘creative liberties’ your brain makes when dreaming, meaning your nightmares should be a lot less potent.”
“If you are planning on taking it, do it right before bed, to ensure it doesn’t wear off before you wake up.”
Candorick looked at the vial. Surely it wouldn’t work, how could a drink do that?
But he couldn’t take it anymore. The lack of the sleep, the horrible nightmares, he was willing to do anything to make them stop. Even if it was drink a vial full of suspicious liquid given to him by a witch.
He had better not have been lying.

Side note: I've added a password, so read carefully. If you message me WITHOUT the password, your messages are automatically IGNORED. tired of getting hit up with people who don't read 😒. It's ridiculous cause I've ignored 5+ chats cause none of them contained the password. Things are written for a reason.
Facts about me:

• I have been roleplaying since 2012. Yes, I got experience under my belt, and yes, my ideas usually have really long reads, but don't let that scare you off! After the starter is off, I may lower myself down to a decent paragraph or two, sometimes three! It all depends on what I've got to work with.
  
• My timezone is EST. I'm awake from 9am - 2am and I'm usually free unless I'm busy doing house chores, out of the house, asleep, or playing video games on my switch. I'm usually become REALLY active at or around 8pm.
  

Rules:
1: if you don't like 50/50 mixture of sex scenes and story, don't bother hopping into my inbox. I'm fine with sex scenes, but when it's constantly back to back, the roleplay itself gets boring.
2: Be literate. No one liners. I like to write..it's annoying when I send a 2-3 paragraph response and I get 3 lines...just...no. I am not accepting people who are just starting out! If you aren't experienced in writing or roleplaying, kindly stay out of my inbox.
3: Be okay with playing canon characters. I'm mainly doing fandom roleplays right now and it's going to be Canon x my oc. No, I'm not doing double ups. Do not even ask, because the answer will be no every time. I do not give a shit if you think that makes me 'lazy' or 'selfish', if you've got a problem, you can simply ignore or block me. Commenting on my post to bitch and whine about me not doubling up will only result in me blocking you. The ONLY time I'll double up, and if I'm confident enough, I'll only do female characters. I suck at males. Got a problem? Not my issue. Block and move on.
4: Roleplay in third person. I can't and won't adapt to first. Don't even bring up the idea of you playing first person and me playing third. Believe it or not, I've been asked this twice and that is just a hell no for me. The only time I do first, is when I'm writing into my book.
5: if you don't know how to share ideas, then don't bother messaging me. I'm tired of carrying the story when the other person doesn't help. If you've got ideas, then PLEASE speak up! Your opinion on the roleplay matters too! I'm an easy going person, and easy to get along with (dispite my rules).
6: DO NOT control my character. I control what she says, does, hears, sees, ect. I don't control yours, so don't control mine. HOWEVER, if it's highly necessary and needed, then run it by me first and ask me. Just leave me some wiggle room so I can make a decent response. Failure to comply by this rule, results in immediate drop of the rp.
End Note:
Yes, I've updated my rules just a tad. I do not care if it makes me sound mean or rude, because I'm neither of these things. I'm just tired of putting these rules down for a specific reason and they go ignored because I can tell when someone hasn't read them, and lied about it. I'm just trying to get my point across and roleplay. I'm a very easy going person who loves to make friends on the side (which I've somewhat given up on making friends...only a selective few have actually gained my friendship).
Do not hop into my inbox with a simple 'hey' 'hi' 'sup', etc and for God's sake, don't message me with a 'rp?'and proceed me to flash me with your talliwhacker. I promise you, you'll get your feelings hurt and I'll be here laughing at ya 😂. Nobody wants a peen on their screen. Do not send me an image of your one eyed noodle. Thank you. The password is pineapple.

Can alters communicate through text or thought or feelings in mind rather than voice? Please answer this one. This keeps me thinking if I'm valid? And also can OSDD-1a systems have fictives? And also non- human alters like a dragon or an animal? Please answer me. I keep thinking I'm faking it and it leaves me nowhere and makes me question who I am.

I am going abroad for about 12 days and am leaving my lovely fur son, Frog, (2 y/o neutered male) at home with a cat sitter. He is a very sweet but very shy and anxious rescue kitty and I've only had him 5 months and this is my first long trip (more than 48h) while I've had him. I have soooo many concerns so I'll just list them all.
• Will he act different towards me when I come back? Will he still like me or think I abandoned him? This is what I'm most scared of.
• Is he going to feel my absence? Will he be sad?
• What if he's scared of the cat sitter and doesn't eat when she feeds him? Very possible since he's so anxious
•This is sooooo stupid but I have a roommate who he hated at first but now he warmed up to her a lot, what if he bonds with her a lot while I'm gone and I become the spare human? I know I sound like a jealous maniac but this is my first cat and I love him a lot ok !!
Please give me advice on how I can make this trip easier on the both of us.

I am a 15 year old female who lives with my mom. I love my mom, my mom has sacrificed a lot for me in my 15 years and I know that she loves me. My mom works as Nail Technician and she is a Vietnamese immigrant. My mom is super nice to everyone. On the outside, my friends think she’s super sweet, super understanding, and my friends all love her. My friends all believe she is the most hilarious person ever and in public everybody likes to believe that we have a really good relationship. The truth is, is that it’s not. I’ve spent 15 years living with my mom and I can just say that once I go to college I’m leaving and never coming back. Insider, my mom has a brother who left because he got kicked out of college so really, I’m the only child she has left. My mom has spent many years trying to teach me from right to wrong just like any other parent. But she did that by crushing my self confidence and self esteem. I was not the most skinny girl ever. In fact I was overweight and I have been for most of my life but only by ten to fifteen pounds. My mom spent countless years telling me that I was ugly and that I was a fat pig. During family vacations where I would have to wear a swimsuit she would just avoid me because I know that she was embarrassed about having me as her daughter . I know she did this to motivate me to lose weight but I turned to SH instead. I spent my freshman year of high school going to the gym constantly and I lost 40 pounds. I spent every morning running four miles for 4 days a week. On the days I didn’t run i rowed. I’m relatively skinny now and when relatives like to ask what I did to lose all of that, my mom likes to say that it was her. She made me lose all of the weight and she tells others to copy her techniques. But really, I was the one that worked hard. I spent homecoming and spring fling in the gym. I couldn’t even eat cake on my birthday because it was too many calories. I spent most of my time in the gym. My mom likes to hit me sometimes or kick me. And when she does that she likes to curse me out in Vietnamese when I do something wrong. In our culture it’s very normalized but my mom shows me no affection. She has never told me that she loved me, she has never hugged me ever since I was 7. My mom likes to insult me in english and in Vietnamese. I think she just expects me to be perfect all the time. I have a 4.1 unweighted GPA and I’m going into my sophomore year taking AP Calculus , AP Spanish, and AP American Lit. I play varsity Lacrosse , I’m Editor in Chief for Yearbook next year and I’m secretary of my class. I am in Chess Club and HOSA. I work very hard. Any other mother would be grateful for me. But to my mom it’s not enough. It will never be enough. She always points out my flaws. And what I do wrong. But she never congratulates me. My mom has never attended any of my lacrosse games,school events, graduations , or anything, never has . She’s never there for me. Anytime I try to speak to her about my problems she always yells at me about how I have nothing to stress about because I have food to eat and water to drink. My mom also does this really annoying thing where if she makes something and I don’t like it she’ll just tell me to eat it and give me a sob story. I’ve also noticed that ever since my parents got divorced my mom has been a really horrible girl friend. Not in a cheating way but she doesn’t trust. And to her everything must be perfect and if she’s having a bad day best believe that once you interact with her you will too. My mom assumes things all the time when I do something and she’ll yell at me for that. She prefers her feelings over the actual facts and that’s messed up the dynamic of our relationship. She also never moves on and will use things against me no matter what. Long story short, she’s shattered my confidence and was my very first bully, she always thinks she’s right and can’t admit when she’s in the wrong, she can’t compromise, she’s manipulative, and she’s never there for me. When people say that it’s a red flag when somebody treats their mom like crap I disagree. Not in all situations but you never know what’s happening behind closed doors. My mom truly makes me feel like she only loves me because she’s birthed me. I truly feel like the child she didn’t want. And I don’t think she likes me. I wish I had a good relationship with my mom like everyone else does but I just can’t . When I move out and start my career, I plan on just giving my mom a shit load of money and then leaving her. She took away my childhood all because she didn’t want to create the time or the effort. If she didn’t want to pay more money she shouldn’t have had me. And I wish I didn’t have her as my mom.

y'all prolly don't care but I did it anyway so ¯(ツ)¯

I 25F have been with my partner 25M for just under 4 years, we’re due to be married in October. Our libido’s are the same, one is not higher than the others. We haven’t had sex in months….
It’s hard to pin point where it all started, but to keep things brief I’d say 2 years ago. I broke the bombshell to him by saying I don’t come from penetration and I actually never have, he took this well because I think he already suspected. I told him I need to be stimulated by my clit and he did try.
He’s never one to shy away from eating me out or genuinely trying to get me off, it just never happens. I feel as though even after showing him what to do he’s clueless, I have to constantly direct and guide him which is a complete mood killer for me. So in the end I just give up, accept I’m not going to cum and roll over and let him finish. I’m surprised he can even finish with how defeated and dead I am.
Even though he tries his best he’s always the one cumming, and I never am. I resort to finishing myself off after he falls asleep. What’s worse is he knows this. If it were the other way around, I couldn’t imagine being so bad in bed that he had to resort to masturbation. This whole situation is leading to built up resentment on my part which is spilling into our otherwise perfect relationship. I am so sexually frustrated I have fantasies about having sex with him and then saying I’m too tired before he gets the chance to finish. Just to he can have A TASTE of what I go through Every. Single. Time.
You men wanna know why we women don’t want to have sex with you? What is the point if you don’t get to finish. Women fake it and we’ve been doing it since the dawn of time to satisfy your precious egos. And that’s exactly what I said to my partner, why on earth would I want to have sex if I never get to finish? That’s what I’ve been doing for the past 2 years and I’m fucking miserable. Just lying there while he pounds away.
Not to mention I was ALWAYS the one initiating! Always. Now I like a dominant man who takes what he wants and my fiancé, although I love him is a complete doormat. I’m not asking for him to be King Kong all of the time but just sometimes I’d like to be the one pursued. I gave up initiating and guess what? We just don’t have sex at all.
We have had 100 conversations about this and I have been VERY clear about what I need/expect. Each time he says he understands and tries to do better but nothing changes. I cannot have another tear filled conversation, do not suggest therapy as he is very shy and will never open up to a stranger.
It’s so bad now, I masturbate before going over to his house because I know we’re not going to do anything. That reality hit me and got me down. He picked up on my defeated mood last night when I came over to his house and I ended up leaving shortly after a while with an excuse that I had work.
He sends a message saying “I feel like I've upset you somehow” I reply with “You’ve always been perceptive”
He responds with “I've been trying to ask, you've barely said a word to me all night.” And I text “Because it’s nothing we haven’t talked about a million times before.” Since then, nothing. No response, no reply. Zilch. And that right there sums up the entirety of our failing sex life.
look for something a little deeper than: just don’t marry him that’s the generic response to everything on this sub*

If you happen to be in a DND party called 'Dryad's Roaches' get the frick out of here!!!
​
I've mentioned to my party already that I was originally going to run DOIP after LMOP, and try connecting them as such; but it didn't quite stick to me. I've heard a lot about DOIP being flimsy and needing a lot of personal touch to get a consistent, well defined story out of it; which I wouldn't normally mind, but looking at it without reading too much.. Not a fan.
I haven't read too much of SKT either, but it looks a lot more well put together and thought out than DOIP is, even if the chapter total and amount of words is a bit scary.
Chapter 2 seems a bit fun when you keep in mind that I'm connecting it to a slightly homebrewed LMOP, heres some context:
I'm making it that Venomfang and Cryovain have territorial disputes, VF is working with the Black Spider to collect gold and such because she knows that she can't beat Cryovain alone. Originally, she was disguised as Reidoth and tricked the party into getting her eggs back from the cultists in Thundertree, who I mentally said to myself were cultists/worshippers of Cryovain, who wanted to lure the dragon to Icespire Peak.
Thanks to the partys help and her deceit, she ended up getting all the cultists knocked out and tied up infront of her... Where she promptly turned back into a dragon, and killed all the cultists with her poison breath.
After some talk, letting Reidoth go free, seconds away from blasting Reidoth and the party with poison, some stuff happens; reidoth distracts VF, and they *steal* from Venomfang.
Yeah.
Yeah. You heard me right. They stole from a fucking dragon. One that can EASILY kill them.
And they got away with it, for the time being; fleeing from Thundertree, with no idea whether or not Reidoth lives still.
So... Where am I going with this? Eventually the party will probably kill the Black Spider, ruin their plans, the like. Maybe even having to injure or run from Venomfang before getting into the Wave Echo Cave segments. Shit will go wrong and Venomfang won't be pleased. She'll probably realize she can't stick around anymore, she has no chance of dealing with Cryovain alone, guess she really does need to find new territory.
So she does.
Leaving Phandalins only, genuine protection from Cryovain.. gone. With the only possible defenders being Iarno and Reidoth who are very buffed up in my LMOP, but.. yeah.
Following an unlikely alliance between the Giants and Cryovain, to merge DOIP into SKT a bit, Both Cryovain AND the Giants siege Phandalin in Chapter 2. Not expecting a win from the group, more of a skyrim intro type of thing where they can *try* but lets be real, they will probably fail and get fucked up.
It sounds fun; I need to read the rest of SKT of course, but it seems doable. Would love opinions on this.
