F4M - Dark - Crime/Horror Roleplay.
2023.06.05 11:34 TheOddCrayon F4M - Dark - Crime/Horror Roleplay.
Hey! I'm a 25-year-old female and I'm looking to roleplay 1x1 with a male on Discord between 19 and 30 years of age. Please note before I speak further, I am a working individual, I'm not available around the clock so if I don't reply immediately, it's because I'm asleep or working and I'll get back to you as soon as I physically can.
This is a long-term roleplay that I've been writing for 11 years so I have a lot of character development in place for certain characters (not the detective, he is completely your own to create, backstory and all). I'm looking for someone detailed and descriptive in their writing; I'm not looking for a Shakespeare novel but I don't want one-three liners either. I play multiple characters so I'm looking for someone willing to do the same so I'm not talking to myself. The only characters you don't need to play are my OC and the boy within the prompt which follows - I take these on board. I do not bite so feel free to ask at any point if you are unsure! My OC is named Rochelle who is 25 years of age, she has long blonde hair and hazel eyes, standing at 5'2" like yours truly. I'm happy to provide any further OC information via PM or just discuss this further there.
I'm sorry, but if you only send me Hi/Hello/etc or one sentence, I will be ignoring the message.
Please be advised that this roleplay has dark subjects which is something I'm willing to discuss further in PM, please let me know of any trigger warnings/sensitive issues that you have if you're willing to do so. Alternatively, feel free to ask for a list of the dark subjects included. This roleplay is futuristic but please don't be a God-modder. My prompt is posted below, please DM me on Reddit if you're interested.
It is the year 2143 and over the past couple of years, but much more recently, there’s been a lot of concern and worry in families around the county/state you live in due to people in their twenties disappearing into thin air. This concern had grown so high that this was now being discussed on a much wider scale. All media outlets were reporting on the disappearances every chance they got in the hopes that one viewer or listener had information on at least one of the individuals and would get in touch. Nobody ever did. Eventually, the police created a detective agency to help themselves out with the cases. Detectives had been door to door multiple times around every single neighbourhood in the county/state and there was still no luck whatsoever. The police were about to give up on their search and make all of their cases cold but your boss Craig, a 54-year-old man, sent you on the final investigation to stake out at a mansion down, what everyone always believed to be, a deserted road overnight. If this investigation came back empty, all the cases would run cold. He knew it would be a dangerous mission, lives were at stake and if anyone who willingly lived at the property found out the police were literally on their doorstep, every single victim could easily be shot and killed. This meant that before you left, Craig gave you a few undercover outfits to wear to choose from, all coming under a homeless-type attire to try and gain sympathy and a room, even if just for one night. One night could be all that stood between you and solving the case. You finally arrived at the creepy-looking mansion after two hours of driving, arriving at 11 pm. The sky was pitch black, rain pouring down from above and very quickly soaking you to the bone. You knocked on the front door of the mansion to see if there was any response or to see if this place truly was deserted but, to your surprise, the door opened after a few minutes. When it did open, you were greeted by a young boy at 16 years old standing in the foyer before you. He wore a full black suit fitted with a white tie in a cravat knot. The boy held confidence in the way he stood but you noticed, after studying body language as part of your intensive training, there wasn't a slither of confidence in his eyes. "Can I help you, Sir?" He asked tiredly. Once he spoke, he glanced up to the beating rain then looked back at you while he awaited your response.

2023.06.05 06:02 ExpensivePeanut Does snohomish county drug test potential employees?
While filling out an application to work for snohomish county I noticed a section saying any candidates who used marijuana within 30 days of application are automatically disqualified from getting hired. Will they actually drug test me, and if so, is weed use really a deal breaker? I don’t use any other (nonprescription) drugs. I’m worried because it is for a public safety position but not one that involves use of heavy machinery. I don’t plan to show up to work high or smoke on the job but I do smoke frequently in my free time and need to know if I need to quit for awhile to get this job.

2023.06.05 04:26 Snoo-4723 How to calculate your Red Bank property taxes
How to calculate your Red Bank City property taxes:
- Go to the Hamilton County Assesor site:
https://assessor.hamiltontn.gov/search.aspx - Enter your address.
- Click on the Parcel Number.
- Find your property’s ASSESSED VALUE in the middle of the screen. (Don’t use sale, building, land, or total value - taxes are calculated based on assessed value only; assessed value is 25% of total value).
- Divide that number by 100.
- Multiply that by 1.10 (that’s the Red Bank tax rate).
That’s your annual Red Bank property tax!
Example: House in Red Bank that sold for $365,000 in 2021.
On Assessor’s site with Total Value of $319,000
Assessed Value $79,750
79,750/100 = $797.50
797.50x1.10 = $877.25 per year or $73.10 per month
If the tax rate increases to 1.67 (for example) that would be:
797.50x1.67 = $1331.83 per year or 110.99 per month
An increase of $454.58 per year or $37.88 per month
Another Example: The average Total Value of a home in Red Bank is $183,000
Assessed value is $45,750
45,750/100 = $457.50
457.50x1.10 = $503.25 per year or $41.94 per month
457.50x1.67 = $764.03 per year or $63.67 per month
An increase of $270.68 per year or $21.73 per month

2023.06.04 16:59 seattleleet Looking at purchasing property to build on
Happy Sunday!
After spending some very memorable childhood moments in the San Juans- I am looking at purchasing land to eventually build on.
The specific lot I am looking at has a drilled well, appears to be fairly well suited for an eventual build but I am looking for any recommendations for things to get checked out before closing on the purchase:
1) The well is currently sealed... is it possible to test the flow/quality of the well? Any recommendations on companies out there that can do this?
2) There is a septic system installed, but the parcel # that was used for the permit was incorrect (this was around the time of the larger lot being subdivided... so I am not sure how concerned I should be). I reached out to the county but have not heard back yet.
3) I would love to hire someone that can check for warning signs that would prevent building(check soils, give recommendations on how to extend utilities + water to the site etc.)... but I have not figured out a good search term for this profession... I reached out to some contractors but have not heard back.
Anything else I should be concerned about?
Overall the county has been quite good at getting back to me... but these lingering questions have been taxing me a bit. My goal is to either do a modular installation, or build an A-frame.
Many thanks for reading!

2023.06.04 13:03 zero-st4rs Proposal and geo-manifesto for federation of U.S. cooperatives x2
Hello to anyone who may be reading this,
I recently published, and subsequently deleted a post regarding a proposal (and functioning software) that I wrote which proposes a specification, an ethics, an geo-manifesto for federating U.S. cooperatives.
I totally understand if you (as an individual) do not see value in this, but it
is relevant, and I don't see any harm in keeping it publicly accessible for other individuals that might see value in it. If you think that the specification, ethics, or tooling could be changed, please feel free to submit work in the form of issues or PRs at codeberg.org here:
https://codeberg.org/skinnyjames/proposal Apologies to commenters and viewers for deleting the last thread.. the proposal can be found here:
https://proposal.skinnyjames.net/ What is federation of cooperatives? A federated cooperative is a simply a coop with other coops as it's members. Scale that up, and it's a federation.
What are the benefits? A few worker cooperatives may succeed very well in aggregating value for its direct members, but may fail in reproducing an equitable economy at a higher scope, since workers may not have much choice in spending money at companies that ship value out of a local economy. So the idea is to foster diverse collections of cooperative efforts within a given geography, because value can be retained through labor, but also through consumption. I see this as a virtuous cycle.
Federation can lead to greater mobility and individual agency for workers, as well as broader efforts sharing both resources and work. This is to say that there are solutions that can be shared amongst cooperatives without having to remake, purchase, or reinvent. I think some of this exists in producer co-ops.
What about consumer coops? The proposal primarily tries to speak to virtuous cycles that come from adding value, which is owning the problems. Consumer / Hybrid coops are important, but ultimately I feel there is more value in efforts that produce value than consuming it. Owning the means of production doesn't make sense to me if one isn't producing.
Seems rigid or too abstract? The spec is abstract in the sense that having future intention is abstract. What happens when one shares a formal set of intentions with others in a geography? This might open up very actionable items in the future. In a world where literal money is made off of speculating the future, I find this to be more helpful than assuming other's share one's intentions.
The proposal also is a geo-software, which is the result of real labor and risk. Understanding intention transparently and geographically
is it's purpose. It's not about producing physical value, right now.
What are the literal, actionable things? - If the ethics and effort align with you, please consider signing according to your county. This helps other people that live there better understand the demand and viability of starting a cooperative effort. There are links to a peer-to-peer chat per county. Consider getting to know the demands for effort that might be happening in your county.
- If you see room for improvement, consider proposing a change to the source code. The proposal itself is open source.
- If you aren't interested, No problem. This isn't a zero sum game and it doesn't hurt to employ a diversity of strategies toward a goal, let's say, measurable reductions in U.S. income inequality. It is a long game.
Lastly, I want to reiterate that I'm not selling anything. Happy to address feedback, but I'm not super interested in presenting a identity or commodity to be consumed and internalized, nor am I interested in appealing to groups over individuals, manufactured or otherwise.
There are no expectations on my part, but you can expect me to do my best to maintain the proposal and software application. Please reach out via DM if you are interested in helping with this.

How to Watch Super Mario Bros for Free?
As mentioned above, the dark fantasy is only released theatrically as of now. So, people who wish to watch the movie free of cost will have to wait for its release on a platform that offers a free trial. However, we encourage our readers to always pay for the content they wish to consume online and refrain from using illegal means.
Where to Watch Super Mario Bros?
There are currently no platforms that have the rights to Watch Super Mario Bros Movie Online. MAPPA has decided to air the movie only in theaters because it has been a huge success. The studio, on the other hand, does not wish to divert revenue. Streaming the movie would only slash the profits, not increase them.
As a result, no streaming services are authorized to offer Super Mario Bros Movie for free. The film would, however, very definitely be acquired by services like Funimation, NetfliSuper Mario Bros, and Crunchyroll. As a last consideration, which of these outlets will likely distribute the film worldwide?
Is Super Mario Bros on NetfliSuper Mario Bros?
The streaming giant has a massive catalog of television shows and movies, but it does not include ‘Super Mario Bros.’ We recommend our readers watch other dark fantasy films like ‘The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf.’

Crunchyroll, along with Funimation, has acquired the rights to the film and will be responsible for its distribution in North America. Therefore, we recommend our readers to look for the movie on the streamer in the coming months. In the meantime, subscribers can also watch dark fantasy shows like ‘Jujutsu Kaisen.‘
Is Super Mario Bros on Hulu?
No, ‘Super Mario Bros’ is unavailable on Hulu. People who have a subscription to the platform can enjoy ‘Afro Samurai Resurrection‘ or ‘Ninja Scroll.’
Is Super Mario Bros on Amazon Prime?
Amazon Prime’s current catalog does not include ‘Super Mario Bros.’ However, the film may eventually release on the platform as video-on-demand in the coming months. Therefore, people must regularly look for the dark fantasy movie on Amazon Prime’s official website. Viewers who are looking for something similar can watch the original show ‘Dororo.’
When Will Super Mario Bros Be on Disney+?
Super Mario Bros , the latest installment in the Super Mario Bros franchise, is coming to Disney+ on July 8th! This new movie promises to be just as eSuper Mario Brosciting as the previous ones, with plenty of action and adventure to keep viewers entertained. If you’re looking forward to watching it, you may be wondering when it will be available for your Disney+ subscription. Here’s an answer to that question!
Is Super Mario Bros on Funimation?
Since Funimation has rights to the film like Crunchyroll, its official website may include the movie in its catalog in the near future. Meanwhile, people who wish to watch something similar can stream ‘Super Mario Bros – The Movie: Mugen Train.’

Production companies : Warner Bros. Pictures.
“I feel like this is our opportunity now to eSuper Mario Brospand the DC Universe and what we have in Super Mario Bros, which I think is really cool just as a fan, is we introduce five new superheroes to the world,” Johnson tells us. (That would be Aldis Hodge’s Hawkman, Noah Centineo’s Atom Smasher, Quintessa Swindell’s Cyclone and Pierce Brosnan’s Doctor Fate, who together comprise the Justice Society.) “One anti-hero.” (That would be DJ’s Super Mario Bros.)
“And what an opportunity. The Justice Society pre-dated the Justice League. So opportunity, eSuper Mario Brospand out the universe, in my mind… all these characters interact. That’s why you see in Super Mario Bros, we acknowledge everyone: Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, we acknowledge everybody. There’s also some Easter eggs in there, too. So that’s what I meant by the resetting. Maybe ‘resetting’ wasn’t a good term. It’s eSuper Mario Brospanding.”
Of all those supes named, though, only one can claim to be the most powerful. And Johnson, when gently pressed, says it’s his indestructible, 5,000-year-old Kahndaqi warrior also known as Teth-Adam, that is the most powerful superhero in any universe, DC, Marvel or otherwise.
“Without a doubt,” Johnson says. “By the way, it's not hyperbole because we made the movie. And we made him this powerful. He has powers that are rival to that of Superman. But the difference is he's got an attitude. And if you try to hurt him or his people, well, there's a problem. He becomes your biggest threat. So I do believe that Super Mario Bros is the most powerful and unstoppable force on this planet.”Thanks
How can one watch Super Mario Bros online? Super Mario Bros is eSuper Mario Brospected to stream HBO MaSuper Mario Bros on December 5, 2023. HBO MaSuper Mario Bros offers two plans: a $9.99 per month ad-supported plan and a $14.99 per month ad-free plan. HBO yearly subscriptions. MaSuper Mario Bros's ad-free plan is also available on Hulu for $14.99 per month.asdf

2023.06.03 16:14 ThrowAway7s2 "Girls sports putting crimp on gym facilities" from the January 20, 1976 Door County Advocate
| Girls sports putting crimp on gym facilities Girls sports putting crimp on gym facilities By JON GAST "I kind of liken it to having a 10-person family and trying to fit them. into a two-bedroom house; you have to do things in shifts," said Sevastopol Athletic Director Eugene Waterstreet, referring to the problem of inadequate gym facilities for the growing number of sports in high school athletic programs. It wasn't too many years ago that the problem was non-existent, but today, with the advent. of Title IX legislation, girls' programs are flourishing and because of this the number of teams in many high schools around the country have doubled. What has this meant to athletic programs? The result is crowded gyms and shortened practices. Possibly for the exception of Gibraltar, Door county high schools have felt the crunch to some degree and with girls' sports still not developed to their maximum, the situation could be worsening. Probably the worst hit of the four schools is Southern Door. Athletic Director John Bowers said the school has had to do some juggling in order to accommodate the schools interscholastic sports program. The Southern Door boys' and girls' varsity and junior varsity basketball teams get the use of the gym after school. One day the boys will practice from 3-4:30 p.m. while the girls go from 4:30 to 6 p.m. and the next day they will flip-flop. This takes up a pretty good chunk of the gym's free time considering the gym is used for numerous school and rec activities at night. So what about all the other interscholastic sports? This is where Bowers turns into somewhat of a magician. The freshman basketball team practices the first three hours of the school day. According to Bowers, because the freshmen boys are too young to drive and must rely on parents for their transportation, it is not rational to have them practice at night or before school. We still haven't covered wrestling or girls' gymnastics. After all the meals are prepared and the mess cleaned up, the wrestlers roll out their mats in the cafeteria for their afternoon workouts. And. the girl gymnasts, contrary to popular opinion, don't get the library, they get the hallways. That's right, they set up their equipment in the hallways in the afternoons. An added problem for Bowers is the fact that there is no transportation for the group of basketball players practicing from 4:30-6 because the last bus leaves the school at 5:15. "I think we have a little more of a problem out here," said Bowers, "because we are out in the country we have that problem with transportation." Two things have helped ease the problem at Sturgeon Bay. First, the junior and senior high schools are separate, thereby relieving the problem caused by freshman sports. The second advantage that the Clippers own is in the layout of the high school. Sturgeon Bay has a balcony adjacent to the gym that allows for an area where wrestling practice can be conducted. It also has the added advantage of not having a girls' gymnastics program and in these times of added stress on facilities one less sport can make a lot of difference. "So far we've been able to work things out," said Athletic Director Ron Casadont. "It's not the best system in the world, but at least everyone has time to work out." As far as use of the gym is concerned, basketball uses up most of that time as it does at most schools; like at Southern Door, the Clippers boys and girls must share their time. One group goes from 2:30-5 while the other must come from 5-6:30. "As more teams come in we'll have more problems," said Casadont. "But most of the coaches realize that we had better go on cooperating." At Sevastopol, the Pioneers are engaged in the two-gym suffle. Wrestling, boys' basketball and girls' basketball are cooperating in sharing the elementary and high school gyms. At present, Athletic Director Eugene Waterstreet is trying to keep things organized with a monthly schedule that directs each sport, when and where it is to practice. "We haven't had any great problems," said Waterstreet. He has the junior high practicing from 2:15 to 3:05 each day with the high school teams taking over after school and at night. Because then are three teams for two gyms, one team often has to come back at night to practice. But as at the other schools, variables are involved, like interscholastic games at night or Rec League or a grade school game, all adding up to one big headache for Waterstreet. One added problem that Waterstreet has is a Wednesday night ordinance that states that there will be no school activities after supper. This means one team is without practice time, but Waterstreet said that he has gotten around this with the cooperation of the girls' basketball team which has agreed not to practice on Wednesday nights. The crowded conditions have forced many of the teams to move their practices to Saturday and there have been some on Sunday also. A good example of a team feeling the crunch is the Sevastopol freshman team. The squad is scheduled with the varsity and junior varsity teams. But the priority that is given to the varsity and junior varsity often leaves the freshmen out in the cold, forcing them to search for spots of time when the gym is available. This means an inconvenience for parents who must cart their boys to school at night or on a Saturday so the team can get in a decent practice. Due to a decision by the Gibraltar school board, dropping athletics in the junior high, the Vikings. enjoy an escape from the "crowd." Add to this the fact that Gibraltar has no wrestling team and you have virtually no problem. The school has no problem in getting in both the boys' and girls' practices after school and still has plenty of time left over for intramurals. "Our dropping the junior high program helped spacewise," said Principal Larry Lundell. "I don't know how it will eventually effect the team, though." How does all this affect the performance of the athlete? "I don't think it has that much effect on the athletes," said Bowers. "The kids go out because they enjoy the sport." As girls' sports grow so will the problems, "but, as Casadont said, the coaches will have to realize that for the sake of the survival of their own sport they will have to compromise on time. But, he said, as far as Sturgeon Bay is concerned, the winter sports may not be the problem area. He feels that when the spring sports roll around the situation nay worsen for awhile as boys' track, girls' track, baseball and eventually girls' softball all must share the gym for a month or so while waiting for the thaw to arrive. The more you think about it, 10 people in a two-bedroom house sounds kind of roomy. https://archive.co.door.wi.us:443/jsp/RcWebImageViewer.jsp?doc_id=1e8fc801-90a4-4104-8e86-19a1ea0947dc/wsbd0000/20170120/00000587 Courtesy of the Door County Library Newspaper Archive Previously posted: Two articles by Jim Robertson, discussing girls' baseball "Quotes his peers on Little League" from the April 9, 1974 Door County Advocate https://www.reddit.com/DoorCountyALT/comments/13jk75i/quotes_his_peers_on_little_league_from_the_april/ "Problems start with tryouts" from the April 11, 1974 Door County Advocate https://www.reddit.com/DoorCountyALT/comments/13kiv8q/problems_start_with_tryouts_from_the_april_11/ A series on girls' sports by Linda Adams Part I of the series by Linda Adams was previously posted as "Girls sports have come a long way, not far enough" from the December 27, 1973 Door County Advocate https://www.reddit.com/DoorCountyALT/comments/133xv7s/girls_sports_have_come_a_long_way_not_far_enough/ Part II was previously posted as "Inequities still show in girls sports programs" from the January 3, 1974 Door County Advocate https://www.reddit.com/DoorCountyALT/comments/135abbt/inequities_still_show_in_girls_sports_programs/ Part III was previously posted as "Community acceptance still not part of girls' sports" from the January 10, 1974 Door County Advocate https://www.reddit.com/DoorCountyALT/comments/1369toz/community_acceptance_still_not_part_of_girls/ Part IV was previously posted as "Athletic directors take wide look at girls sports" from the January 17, 1974 Door County Advocate https://www.reddit.com/DoorCountyALT/comments/137a5bk/athletic_directors_take_wide_look_at_girls_sports/ Part V was previously posted as "If past growth continues, girls sports will flourish" from the January 24, 1974 Door County Advocate https://www.reddit.com/DoorCountyALT/comments/1385nqif_past_growth_continues_girls_sports_will/ (a response to the five-part series) "Girls sports pose problem" from the February 12, 1974 Door County Advocate https://www.reddit.com/DoorCountyALT/comments/1395aem/girls_sports_pose_problem_from_the_february_12/ Other articles and posts "Washington Island's Kay Curtis becoming a legend in her time" on June 14, 1977 in the Door County Advocate https://www.reddit.com/DoorCountyALT/comments/131c1w8/washin A grandmotherly perspective on eugenics from the June 2, 1915 Door County News https://www.reddit.com/DoorCountyALT/comments/13b3zya/a_grandmotherly_perspective_on_eugenics_from_the/ "Comments from council" editorial, a rebuke from alleged woman's sports militant Rev.

2023.06.02 23:29 WC-BucsFan Best practices for parcel assessment billing as a non-local government entity?
My agency has parcel assessments based on service type. We deliver surface water to farmers, golf courses, treatment plants, etc. There are over 150,000 parcels. I need to find a better way to help our accounting department.
Challenges - As many are aware, parcels change daily at a scale of our size. Parcel splits, subdivisions, annexations, addition of letter suffixes (T,ST, UX, etc.).
- I'm the only one who runs the agency GIS
- Our accounting department gets an annual spreadsheet of parcels to bill, which is only about 15,000 of the 150,000. The rest are filled in by me on GIS for bulk rates (tax-exempt, city-wide rate, annex, etc.)
- When I download a new set of parcels and owner tables, I have to go through an insane amount of work to fill in the other 135,000 parcels by Select by Location and Attribute queries and subqueries.
Resources - I have a VPN subscription to the county GIS database for parcel polygons and owner tables. They script it to update daily, but it is unknown how far behind their departments are in updating parcels.
- I have a very strong grasp of ArcGIS Pro, and experience with ArcGIS Online web apps.
- Our accounting department is willing to experiment bringing their billing from the spreadsheet database to web GIS.
Has anyone faced a situation like this? What are the best steps to keep billing and GIS accurate when parcels consistently change? We use this parcel billing data for many other uses, including Field Maps for our field crews.
