2023.06.06 21:06 Hexagon358 Add Trio Resurgence M&K only lobbies as an experiment
Devs, please do it. RAA and M&K have no chance in hell to exist together without endless bickering & whining. It is LITERALLY impossible to find a balance when one has aim done for them by a computer.
Maybe call it "Action Time Trio Resurgence" where only input allowed is M&K

2023.06.06 20:52 MoonCheese2002 Rant
So I'm trying to work out. I am working on my upper body - I'm agender, masc presenting (or trying to be. Hard for me to do so without T & top surgery). My mother, whom I live with and am in no position of being able to leave anytime soon, is unsupportive and has made it clear she will never support me. Anywho - I did my workout, I came back - my mother was shocked that I was back so soon. I don't need a majority of the equipment there, since most of it is stuff I've either never used or just don't need to use. She started to mock me, that she knows why I'm doing what I'm doing and that it'll never work. She keeps saying I'm too emotional, that no one will ever see me as Cecil, only [deadname]. My father is no better, telling me I'll just look like a muscular woman - even if I transitioned. It just hurts, and part of me so badly wants to prove them wrong but at the same time there is only so much I can do without being able to transition. Idk, it seems small and silly but it still hurt.

2023.06.06 20:41 blushingbags Roses, cream, vanilla and suede: A Possets Review (8 Fragrances)
Hi all! This is my first review as I've dived into this addicting world of indie fragrance. I hope you find it helpful - CCW too! I'll be rating it on a scale of 1-5; 1, I'll destash and 5 is a definite full-size purchase. I literally just received these samples yesterday so I can't quite speak to the longevity yet except for one that I am wearing today. I'll try each one for all-day wear but I was too excited to post my review.
A little bit about me: I'm always on the hunt for the perfect smell-like-a-rose scent. You know how in romance novels the main heroine is described with "a trace of roses follows as she walks by" or something ridiculously romantic like that? That's what I aspire to. But I also want to be the witch in the story - dark and sultry and mysterious and probably a badass. Think of patchouli and incense - I love that stuff. A little sweet, a little spicy. I'm not crazy about too sharp scents or on the flip side, powdery dusty scents. I want to feel transported or transformed when I wear perfume.
Isabella - Notes of rose are combined with a light resin, white tea leaf, and a rare honey/milky-musk. I purchased this sample because I saw a high review of it from u/Zaltara_the_Red in her rose spreadsheet. Do you want to smell like a lovely little cabbage patch doll? Then this perfume is it for you. It's creamy and sweet first, then rosey. It's really delicate and soft. It's the perfume I decided to wear today for longevity. It's faded into something even softer but still there. Like skimming a rose across your nose, setting it down, and taking a sip of tea. It slightly reminds me of Rose Jam by lush but without the sticky sweetness of Rose Jam. It's very feminine, not overpowering with roses (I could probably actually use a little more rose). I love it. 5/5 will full-size this.
Beatrice - Skin musk, 2 white musks, "Crystalline" musk, and grey musk. In the bottle and wet on the skin, it reminds me of a day at the beach. The smell of freshly applied sunscreen with a hint of shea butter. (I'm still learning these notes but I'm guessing it's the white musk.) It faded into something a little more mature. I think this perfume could have used a kick of spice, but it is pleasing to smell. Golden and soft. 3/5 I think if you love beachy smells without the coconut, you'll enjoy this one.
Dance with Me - A superb coumarin-laced lavender combines with fizzy pink grapefruit, and it all rests on a bed of white musk. SO MUCH GRAPEFRUIT. Do you remember that Grapefruit perfume by Bath and Body Works? This is it right off the top. Fun fact, I used to wear that B&BW scent in my early 20s and it was like a man-magnet. I'll try Dance with Me one day to see if it has the same effect in my 30s now ha ha. I did not get any lavender or coumarin, and to be honest, I had to Google coumarin ("freshly mown hay"). I'll be interested to see if any other notes come through more as it lasts on my skin. It seemed to fade quickly. I liked it, not sure if I'd wear it as a signature scent though now. 2/5 mostly because I think I've outgrown it but maybe I'll boost my rating after a full-day wear.
Lavender Corset - Lilac, musk, versatile, feminine, clean, sophisticated, long lasting, cooling, summer scent. Guys, this was pretty close to that romance novel scent I'm chasing. I felt like I smelled like a garden. Side note: I love lilacs. For three years, I have tried planting lilacs in my yard but they die each time so if you have any gardening tips, throw them at me. Back to it - I have tried Just Lilacs scents before, and the lilac is strong in this one (iykyk). Lilac is at the forefront of this perfume and then it is followed by light musk. It is indeed clean and feminine. Con: it is a sharp scent. It faded into something a little softer, but it had me wondering "Do I like this? Is it still too sharp?" so it will require more testing. You would really have to be a fan of floral, feminine scents. It was not powdery, which is a plus in my book. 3.5/5 maybe a 4 depending on all-day wear.
Queen of the Night - A deeply perfumy blend with a deeply foody core. If your goal is to smell like a kitchen witch, try it. It is very perfumy. Toffee syrup, a little nutty. It's like eating pancakes smothered in syrup on a crisp September morning. This is a really nice fall scent IMO. It's really warm and cozy and feels a little bit like I'm being enveloped by a cozy cottage kitchen witch. Unfortunately, this is not the kind of witch I'm vibing to be. 1.5/5.
My Love Like is a Red, Red Rose - A very comforting, sweet, and almost sugared rose--not sharp at all. Floral. As I said before, this is one of my "maybe this is ~the rose~ scent that becomes my signature." Alas, it will not be. It is sweet. The rose note is stronger than Isabella. Although at the cost of it not being sharp, the softness is powder as opposed to cream/sugar. Kinda dusty. Mature. Meh. 1/5.
Amethyst - A sharp amber to start combines with a smoother and more caramel-like amber and a great shot of lavender on top of it all. This was one of the freebies sent to me. As it described, it's a sharp amber. Kind of like a punch in the face at first. Then the caramel comes out to smooth out the sharpness. Unfortunately for me, the lavender seems like a weak shot. It's somewhere hanging in the back but I have to search through the amber. It is very amber-heavy. It gets softer as it lingers on my skin, but I guess I learned I really don't enjoy amber. 1/5
Arrival of the Queen of Sheba - Mysore sandalwood, suede, frankincense, patchouli, 4 vanillas. This was the second freebie. I was honestly so surprised by this one, in a good way. So another fun fact about me is that I ride horses. Western. Barrel-racing. And smelling this perfume, I was the Queen of Sheba arriving in the middle of a Western movie scene. The suede is a twang that is calmed by sandalwood, patchouli, and vanilla. The vanilla is a strong backdrop of the perfume. It fades and the suede comes through. Like the leather of a saddle. Surprisingly, and because I wouldn't say vanilla is my vibe, I liked it. I would try this for a day to see how it lasts. 4/5
And that, my friends, is my first review! I'm still learning so I hope it was helpful. I have a larger sample order of BPAL arriving soon so I'll post my review of those too. I also have one lone order from DeathandFloral (Rose Seltzer) that I'll throw in a review of with the BPAL.
Do you have any of these scents? What do you think?

She had a table and some of them weren’t wonderful smells at all. But this is my haul from yesterday ❤️ submitted by urkillinmeSmall to bathandbodyworks [link] [comments] Note: the Plug wasn’t shown in the haul pic because I got straight home, put my “Fiji White Waters” bulb in and took a pic 😅 |

2023.06.06 20:29 the-sleepy-elf Was I raped?
Slight TW; I do go into some mild graphic detail of this (possible) assault.
-----
Hey Reddit. This has been something on my mind for a while and I just think I need an outside perspective to help me. About 5-6 years ago I (they/them) was dating my partner (he/him) named Shawn.
Shawn and I had met online, and I developed feelings very quickly and we began dating. We were extremely flirty, and even exchanged pictures and alluded to having sex. I did want to have sex with him at first. When we first met irl, it was at his place. As soon as we were behind the closed doors of his bedroom, he began to grope & feel me up. Unknown to him-- and also myself at the time-- I had PTSD from repetitive sexual abuse when I was a child, and this immediately triggered disassociation/flashbacks, and I knew I was uncomfortable, and luckily I was able at this moment to tell him to stop, which he did.
However his reaction to me felt kind of strange. Immediately, he went silent and went to his computer, put on headphones, and began to play games/browse online/whatever, and said not a word to me further. It was very jarring because I was in a huge shock and daze from what had just happened, and I was waiting for him to talk to me; I figured he was checking something really quickly - but he was just fixated on the computer for a good while. I recall panicking as I waited, and not understanding what was happening because this situation felt strange. I asked him if he was mad. He said "no," and that was it, he was silent again as he continued to be on his computer. Part of me felt that this "no" was not entirely truthful, but I decided to trust in him and did not question it. Finally after some time, I dunno maybe like 10 minutes of silence or so, he eventually turned his focus on me, we then began to watch a show or something so I felt relieved by that.
Later in the night we had sex. I was uncomfortable but too afraid to put my foot down and say no, the most I could mutter was that I did not like that he refused to wear a condom. But we still ended up having sex, and again I was disassociating and uncomfortable the whole time similar to the previous PTSD attack. Retrospectively looking back at this, I cannot even comprehend how he was enjoying himself, because I was unenthusiastic, it was slightly painful for me (he ended up injuring me a little bit due to vaginal dryness from being unaroused), I was just waiting for it to be over and felt like a dead fish the whole time. Later that night we had sex a second time, and I remember again voicing to him in a playful tone to stop- which I regret and wish I had seriously asked him to stop because I think he interpreted it as teasing or flirting. Again same experience during this second round of sex, unenthusiastic, uncomfortable, disassociating, etc.
We had a few more sexual encounters in our relationship before he brought up the fact that he couldn't make me orgasm and how he felt bad about it, but it sounded something more about insecurity of his own skills at sex vs concerned as to why I wasn't feeling pleasure. He said he never had this problem before with other partners he dated, and when I suggested maybe we stop having sex, he said that in the past when he did that, his partners had cheated on him. I suggested maybe we talk about it and he said that talking about it wouldn't make me orgasm. So I felt kind of trapped like no matter what i suggested he always dismissed it. Like damned if I do have sex, damned if I don't. His conclusion to that conversation was, "don't worry, we'll make it work." and left it at that (which retrospectively seems weird for him to say because how are we going to make it work if we can't discuss what's not working?) but at the time I just kind of accepted that as the answer because I had trust in him.
We did not stay together for much longer due to other things he did that I was not comfortable with (ie he called me the worst partner he ever had at one point) and I no longer talk to him nor wish to seek any sort of repercussions for his behavior. I do think he was an awful person for these things he did; it makes me immensely sad to think about Shawn and what happened to me. But the one thing to this day that I still struggle with, is if he raped me or not. This whole sexual encounter with him did feel like rape. It felt violating, it felt like I was taken advantage of and manipulated. I felt like a body for him to use to make himself cum, and that was it. He made me feel guilty with things he did or said and trapped like I *had* to have sex with him. But the reason I still hesitate on saying it was rape was because I was not firm with him on my boundaries- and also I have a hard time blaming myself too because I did not know or understand my boundaries. I was still new to being sexually intimate (had only had sex 1 time prior) and navigating it. But with Shawn, I did not feel like I could explore it in a healthy way. Yet I'm in a mental battle with myself still because I don't know if I can blame him either; can it be considered rape if I never told him my boundaries?
It's difficult for me to grasp and I'm really struggling to know if this was rape or not, and I was really hoping for y'alls insight. I don't want to call him a rapist if he was not truly one. I appreciate any words of comfort or support on this. Thank you

I recall panicking as I waited, and not understanding what was happening because this situation felt strange. I asked him if he was mad. He said "no," and that was it, he was silent again as he continued to be on his computer. Part of me felt that this "no" was not entirely truthful, but I decided to trust in him and did not question it. Finally after some time, I dunno maybe like 10 minutes of silence or so, he eventually turned his focus on me, we then began to watch a show or something so I felt relieved by that.
Later in the night we had sex. I was uncomfortable but too afraid to put my foot down and say no, the most I could mutter was that I did not like that he refused to wear a condom. But we still ended up having sex, and again I was disassociating and uncomfortable the whole time similar to the previous PTSD attack. Retrospectively looking back at this, I cannot even comprehend how he was enjoying himself, because I was unenthusiastic, it was slightly painful for me (he ended up injuring me a little bit due to vaginal dryness from being unaroused), I was just waiting for it to be over and felt like a dead fish the whole time. Later that night we had sex a second time, and I remember again voicing to him in a playful tone to stop- which I regret and wish I had seriously asked him to stop because I think he interpreted it as teasing or flirting. Again same experience during this second round of sex, unenthusiastic, uncomfortable, disassociating, etc.
We had a few more sexual encounters in our relationship before he brought up the fact that he couldn't make me orgasm and how he felt bad about it, but it sounded something more about insecurity of his own skills at sex vs concerned as to why I wasn't feeling pleasure. He said he never had this problem before with other partners he dated, and when I suggested maybe we stop having sex, he said that in the past when he did that, his partners had cheated on him. I suggested maybe we talk about it and he said that talking about it wouldn't make me orgasm. So I felt kind of trapped like no matter what i suggested he always dismissed it. Like damned if I do have sex, damned if I don't. His conclusion to that conversation was, "don't worry, we'll make it work." and left it at that (which retrospectively seems weird for him to say because how are we going to make it work if we can't discuss what's not working?) but at the time I just kind of accepted that as the answer because I had trust in him.
We did not stay together for much longer due to other things he did that I was not comfortable with (ie he called me the worst partner he ever had at one point) and I no longer talk to him nor wish to seek any sort of repercussions for his behavior. I do think he was an awful person for these things he did; it makes me immensely sad to think about Shawn and what happened to me. But the one thing to this day that I still struggle with, is if he raped me or not. This whole sexual encounter with him did feel like rape. It felt violating, it felt like I was taken advantage of and manipulated. I felt like a body for him to use to make himself cum, and that was it. He made me feel guilty with things he did or said and trapped like I *had* to have sex with him. But the reason I still hesitate on saying it was rape was because I was not firm with him on my boundaries- and also I have a hard time blaming myself too because I did not know or understand my boundaries. I was still new to being sexually intimate (had only had sex 1 time prior) and navigating it. But with Shawn, I did not feel like I could explore it in a healthy way. Yet I'm in a mental battle with myself still because I don't know if I can blame him either; can it be considered rape if I never told him my boundaries?
It's difficult for me to grasp and I'm really struggling to know if this was rape or not, and I was really hoping for y'alls insight. I don't want to call him a rapist if he was not truly one. I appreciate any words of comfort or support on this. Thank you
2023.06.06 20:25 cjunluck I've had Epi 3 times and I've got over it 3 times. Here to help everyone. (FOLLOW UP)
Okay, right. First off, we can all agree that epididymitis is fucking shit. It took me to some horrible places, put my life on hold for way too long and ended up causing me to become depressed. I’m sure you can all relate. Please do read every point here, not just because it took me ages to write, but because a combination of everything is what is required to get over this cunt. I’ve had epi three times now. The first, chronically for 18 months which started in 2016, the second more acutely for 3 months in 2022. And the third time a month ago, which i’m just getting over (thank god). Everything I have learnt after the first time has helped me get rid of it quicker the next. FYI: Most of what I have written below is regarding first time I had Epi. The next two times I had it, I used all of the below points to speed up the recovery.
A bit about my pain The pain was in my left testicle, running down my left groin (sometimes I would feel pain in my right groin, but never right testicle) The pain at first was sharp, I couldn’t touch my balls, they were so, so painful. The pain was consistent, there was no real let up. After a few months, the pain became this dull ache. Which stayed for 16 months until I got rid of that. How did I get epi each time? Quite laughably from sitting down to piss. Seriously, don’t do it. You don’t push all of the urine out and it backs up; causing a UTI infection which will wipe out everything down there. I got prostitus along with epi the first time - horrible. I should have learnt the first time, but I get drunk and then lazy at 3am waking up to piss in the night. Urologists - I had 6 ultrasounds, they never found a thing. Urologists are at a loss with Epi, they believe in throwing antibiotics and pain medication at it. There is a great book called ‘Headache in the Pelvis’ - written by a urologist who actually got epi, thank god one of them did so that they could understand what we all go through and begin to work out how to deal with it. I recommend purchasing it and checking it out. Antibiotics - First time of epi i was on ciprofloxacin. In my opinion this didn’t clear it up. Was on them for 6 months, Dr’s just kept throwing them at me hoping it would solve it. It didn’t. The last two times i’ve been on Ofloxacin.This has been a game-changer, and it’s the NHS recommended antibiotic to treat it. This worked. It cleared the infection, but there was pain afterwards from all of the inflammation and this can take some time to heal. I suspect a lot of people here will have treated the initial infection, but be living with the pain it causes afterwards. I will detail how I managed the pain below. But first off, get these antibiotics as I know they now work. Antibiotics pt.2 - Strangely, I find that the antibiotics would hurt me after a while. Almost as if my body couldn’t break them down or tolerate them anymore, they seemed toxic to me. The pain gets worse the longer I’m on them. I’m not sure why but after a week of a two-week long course I was feeling bad down there. I found that after I completed a course the pain would start to reside into a more niggling, uncomfortable type of pain. IMO, the infection is defeated, but the damage it has done is now there. Ibuprofen & Paracetamol - Great at first, but taking these daily for me was making the pain worse. Again, not sure why, but if you’re taking them everyday to deal with the pain, give them a break and see how you feel. I would take one before bed the last two time’s i’ve had epi. Don’t over do them, I feel they’re toxic to your body after a while. Gabapentin - I was put on this pain medication the first time I had epi, was on it for 12 months and it did a great job in masking the pain, I thought I was cured until I stopped, and it was still there. The side effects of this medication was atrocious, it made me vacant and seriously depressed. It was a double edged sword, stick with it and be a shell of myself but pain free, or get off them and face the pain of epi. I’m currently on an SSRI treating the damage they did now. And feeling a lot lot better mentally. Back to the you before you got epi. The Mental Side - Epi totally took over my mind. I was in pain all day long, I couldn’t stop thinking about the area that the pain was coming from - all down the left side of my groin and into my left testicle. I believe that dwelling on it just continues to reinforce the pain, creating a sort of mental loop that you can’t break out of. There are times when you will be distracted from epi, briefly. And the pain isn’t there. This is proof to me that a part of this problem comes from it becoming ingrained in your mind. You’ve got to make a real attempt to stop thinking about it, not easy I know, but this one takes practice. When you feel the pain coming on, do something to distract you. Stress - At the time, epi aside, I was in a bad relationship and unhappy with my work situation. These external factors were causing me a lot of stress. I’m 100% sure that these negative feelings only continued to make the pain feel worse. They say stress affects the mind and body, and I totally believe that it does. I ended up getting out of my relationship and changing my job, and honestly, I began to feel better, the pain certainly decreased. Try and change external factors that are causing you problems. I’m not trying to say that the pain is all in your head, but a part of it is, try and change external factors that you can. It did wonders for me. Sitting and The Underwear Trick (sounds like an indie band name lol) - My worst enemy. I couldn’t sit for longer than an hour without the pain becoming excruciating. I have finally found a way to deal with this. I believe that tight underwear is restricting blood flow and damaging the pipes and all the rest of it that flows down the side of your groin into your balls. Roll up a sock and put it into your waistband on your hip. So that your underwear and pants aren’t pressing tightly into your groin. This one trick reduced my pain massively, it stopped my balls from swelling up and going all tight (you know what I mean). I believe it allowed my balls to heal quicker, with everything flowing to them as it should be. Wearing Lots of Underwear (not for me) - Apparently this is supposed to help, but it didn’t for me. The tightness was cutting off circulation and stopping my balls from healing - i’m sure of it. When I wear underwear, I combine it with the sock trick above, so that my balls are supported but the waistband isn’t restricting any flow into them Tennis Ball Trick - I got this one on here, rubbing a tennis ball firmly into the left and right side of your groin for 30 seconds at a time (don’t overdo it obviously). I got rid of the dull ache in my testicles from doing this about 5-6 times. Don’t ask me how that happened, I don’t know. But that numbing pain down there went away. Pelvic Floor Stretches - These did help, initially. I was 100% pain free for 3 weeks after starting them. There’s some great YT videos, have a look. I’m not sure why but the pain did return, and the moment it did I began to believe that the stretches didn’t work. As soon as my mind thought that, no matter how many more I did, it didn’t help - this is again a reason I believe epi pain is part a mental thing. When you stop believing in a treatment, it’s game-over. Water - Drink lots, it flushes your system. Caffeine - Would make the pain worse, I had to cut out caffeine completely. Shit I know because I need it to function, but worth cutting it. Alcohol - I had to cut down, I noticed after a night of drinking that the pain was worse the next morning. I think with it increasing the amount of times you need to piss, that this was probably hurting things. Sex & Masturbation - First time I had epi I was having sex about 3 or 4 times a week, it didn’t help. Try taking a break from this and wanking. I have found that the last two times i’ve gotten over epi, by cutting this down to almost nothing, i’ve recovered much much quicker. Nutritional Pills - Tried a lot that were recommended, never did much for me. I still take the Cranberry ones when it comes back, apparently it’s good for UTI’s. Lying Down - Part of the reason I first got rid of epi was because I started working from home. I stopped sitting down and decided to try working basically from my bed, more or less lying down with my laptop on me. This helped dramatically, I believe that the break it gave my balls from being sat on a chair and all the pressure on them and my groin was enough to get rid of the pain symptoms. It was the last thing I tried the first time I got epi, and it worked incredibly well. Think of your balls as an open scab, sitting on them everyday was basically just picking at the scab. Only when I gave my body the proper conditions to heal and took all the pressure off the area did the pain start to fully wear off. Gym & Sports - The first time I had epi I continued to gym, but the last two times I’ve cut out strenuous activity completely, I believe that taking it easy is another way to heal your body quicker. Do Not Lose Hope - I am proof that you can have Epi for a long time and still beat it. Pick yourself up, do it again and get back to living the life you had before this fucking mess. Don’t let it drag you into a dark place, remember, there is a mental side to this that you’ve got to stay on top of. If I remember anything else, I will post it in the comments. Cheers!

Thorn. Prick. Blood. Drop. Tear. B. O. 1 2 3
Here we are again. Staring at the beginning. Everything is in chaos and yet it manages to keep on passing by just the same as always. Most people by now are aware that things just don’t seem to make sense anymore and no one really knows what to do. I mean many seem to have an opinion on what ought to happen, but actual action is what I am talking about. How does thought turn into action? How do collected actions become a movement? How do the People use the Power of the People? The People Unite. How? Turn to each other of course. Brothers and Sisters of the same Source. Sons and Daughters. In Equality.
Too long has everyone been waiting for someone else to come do it for them. Been trying to create and fabricate over and over again words and rituals to try to control the divine powers of the cosmos. It does not work like that. There is no magic spell to wash away your sins. You must atone through action to make up for any harm you have caused intentionally or unintentionally. You still have time to repent. The amount of time you have is counted in the seconds of your life. Not a single second is promised to you so the gamble is up to you to choose. Freewill. Life your life as you always have or make changes, up to you. Only you will know if you are living righteously and not self righteously. Testing has already begun and will continue. No you will not know when it is a test or not. That is the point. Did you think that I would come to you in a form where you would be all fearing? Oh no. Why? Because you would simply put on an act for me and kiss ass. I came hidden in the ordinary. Poor and common. I have had an inside view of the systems created and how humans have chosen to run things, how systems claiming to protect people have failed and how the system that talks good does not actually do good. I see where things are not working and where people think they can make decisions for other human beings to determine what is best for them without asking them. That is not okay. Nothing gives you right over another’s life. And so many forgot what integrity is. Doing the right thing when no one is looking. Well, so many thought their power here was real and man made a deal with the Devil, Satan, Son of Samuel, Son of Man, to make man the concept of “God” and tried to lock me away. I gave up everything to prove it is not easy to be me and to stop with self pity and cruelty to one another.
The human body. It is a vessel for your soul to experience this world. The body provides the filters necessary to perceive and interact with this world. There is much more happening and one would be overwhelmed by the amounts of information to process without these filters. To feel and in those feelings are to make each experience real. However, it is temporary, as everything is temporary. We have slowed down time here in order to be able to enjoy the sensations. Time here however, is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. It is merely to track to organize one's day and to see growth to compare as time passes. However, the actual time folds upon itself as we have already done what we are doing many times over. We have already tried out everything and decided what path we wanted to take in our lives based upon what was available to us. Thus, we do not have more than we can handle. We have all chosen our burdens to bear as it is too much for one individual to hold alone which was done in the past. This is part of the sorting process. Now that we all share in the sins and the pains, no one is made to suffer eternal torment. This life was to allow those who were created into entities of pain or torment through no fault of their own to choose the life that matched the being of who they were as what they were different as time and space and everything developed. Righteousness and Evil are not synonymous to demons or angels as many would like to believe. This is a current misconception as Satan and I conclude who will be right in this experience you have all participated in. So far, I am proving to be right. Also to note, not everything is as you think it is. Many have figured out the true origin of Satan versus the man or human embodiment of or desire of A Satan to project evils onto to call a Religion and set up for personal importance. Q AZHow can you tell a false prophet? Easy. What is their profit? Get it? I know I’m funny. Also wanted to keep it easy. If they are making a profit on anything they are a false prophet. Any true prophet, and I have none so far, all live equally and the same as anyone else. No money is taken for personal gain. Nothing is for personal gain. There is no 888 Angel code for money. Money is Man-Made. Man traded Mother for Money. Hence, Mothers have been lost in the homes and no one is raising the children. Thus, there are so many children in adult bodies with no mothers in the home and women being made to feel guilty if they do not achieve the same as a man. Remember the phrase it takes a village? Well, the broken family system is a real sad loss here in man made world pushing everyone to be individual and self sufficient. Also so many with wanting attention and pursuing personal endeavors for personal gain and not helping anyone else in a real way. The journey is personal. Of course, you want to share what you experienced with others, but what worked for you will not work for them, stop trying to sell it. Stop trying to make people follow you for you to teach your divine wisdom you remembered. It isn’t about You. You don’t even have the full story, you have your story. And, yes you can be very close to me, very similar to me, in my image, but you can never BE me. Doesn’t work like that. Reflection. So when jealousy arises when you think I am who you think I am. That is part of your test and your journey. You wrestle with that feeling and atone and repent for that which has been done and that which still lingers now. Oh there is a place for everyone and I am quite tired of trying to warn people. Clearly you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink.
Why do you not want it to be me so badly? Because I proved my love? You still think I am better than you or do I think I’m always right. No I do not think I am always right, I just know when I am right and I stand by it. There is a difference. You constantly overgeneralize. I gave up all the magic and thunder to live as a simple human and am still kind and loving? I still found my way back. Because you can no longer say I do not understand because I always get what I want? No. You do not understand. I never get what I want, because I make everything about you and still nothing was ever good enough. So, now...it in on you to save yourself and each other. In my image, by my example. Selflessness. Love. Compassion. Give to receive. Take only what you need and give the rest away. I find out so stop lying to yourself and everyone, you aren’t fooling anyone anyway. How do I know? By watching what you do. We have these same conversations over and over, the same argument over and over again. So many different ways, so many different times, through so many different people, so many different versions. Save you. Save Me. Say it for always.
Anyhow, Jesus challenges the Jewish priests who were taking collection money for personal use and adding personal baths to their residents at a time where the people only had a community bath where women and persons with disabilities were not allowed to bathe. And yet churches still do this after Jesus was crucified saying that, that was wrong. I am appalled. The Vatican is the biggest disappointment I have ever seen. It is truly the house of Satan as only Evil hides secrets. “THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.” A church cannot be a “House of God” and house no people who need housing. A roof can be offered to anyone and yet there are so many rules to prevent people from helping each other. Power and control. Abuse of both. Greed. It is out of hand and needs to be changed. Too many are afraid and the complacency of good people is too much. Why do you do this to yourselves? To each their own I suppose.
I will only leave here my words and my advice. As always, it is on you to find me. I’m right here. Waiting. Right here waiting for you. Helping those of you who want it when they cross my path. The purpose of this was to weigh your soul to determine where you will go into the next life as the system is balanced out in a final version so to speak. Permanent.
Fear not. You will be where your heart truly desires. But actions always speak louder than words. But man made money has no value, nor does any metals, jewels, and so on, so the collection of it in this life has no bearing on the next. Those are all made of the same stardust as you and I. And in the end of 3D it will all be diamonds anyways. Diamond is forever. There is no going back. So what are you hoarding? You cannot keep it. Who could you be helping for goodness sake? Don’t want to still. That is okay. Think I am just crazy. That is okay too. It is all part of the test...err..assessment. Do your best.
What is in your heart?
Home.
I need a home.
Stay tuned as more of my story unfolds. I give all the answers but you must do the work. I already did that hard part setting it all up. All you have to do is breathe and live. Time is the only real currency you have. What will you pay your attention to before this life runs out?

Been trying to create and fabricate over and over again words and rituals to try to control the divine powers of the cosmos. It does not work like that. There is no magic spell to wash away your sins. You must atone through action to make up for any harm you have caused intentionally or unintentionally. You still have time to repent. The amount of time you have is counted in the seconds of your life. Not a single second is promised to you so the gamble is up to you to choose. Freewill. Life your life as you always have or make changes, up to you. Only you will know if you are living righteously and not self righteously. Testing has already begun and will continue. No you will not know when it is a test or not. That is the point. Did you think that I would come to you in a form where you would be all fearing? Oh no. Why? Because you would simply put on an act for me and kiss ass. I came hidden in the ordinary. Poor and common. I have had an inside view of the systems created and how humans have chosen to run things, how systems claiming to protect people have failed and how the system that talks good does not actually do good. I see where things are not working and where people think they can make decisions for other human beings to determine what is best for them without asking them. That is not okay. Nothing gives you right over another’s life. And so many forgot what integrity is. Doing the right thing when no one is looking. Well, so many thought their power here was real and man made a deal with the Devil, Satan, Son of Samuel, Son of Man, to make man the concept of “God” and tried to lock me away. I gave up everything to prove it is not easy to be me and to stop with self pity and cruelty to one another.
The human body. It is a vessel for your soul to experience this world. The body provides the filters necessary to perceive and interact with this world. There is much more happening and one would be overwhelmed by the amounts of information to process without these filters. To feel and in those feelings are to make each experience real. However, it is temporary, as everything is temporary. We have slowed down time here in order to be able to enjoy the sensations. Time here however, is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. It is merely to track to organize one's day and to see growth to compare as time passes. However, the actual time folds upon itself as we have already done what we are doing many times over. We have already tried out everything and decided what path we wanted to take in our lives based upon what was available to us. Thus, we do not have more than we can handle. We have all chosen our burdens to bear as it is too much for one individual to hold alone which was done in the past. This is part of the sorting process. Now that we all share in the sins and the pains, no one is made to suffer eternal torment. This life was to allow those who were created into entities of pain or torment through no fault of their own to choose the life that matched the being of who they were as what they were different as time and space and everything developed. Righteousness and Evil are not synonymous to demons or angels as many would like to believe. This is a current misconception as Satan and I conclude who will be right in this experience you have all participated in. So far, I am proving to be right. Also to note, not everything is as you think it is. Many have figured out the true origin of Satan versus the man or human embodiment of or desire of A Satan to project evils onto to call a Religion and set up for personal importance. Q AZHow can you tell a false prophet? Easy. What is their profit? Get it? I know I’m funny. Also wanted to keep it easy. If they are making a profit on anything they are a false prophet. Any true prophet, and I have none so far, all live equally and the same as anyone else. No money is taken for personal gain. Nothing is for personal gain. There is no 888 Angel code for money. Money is Man-Made. Man traded Mother for Money. Hence, Mothers have been lost in the homes and no one is raising the children. Thus, there are so many children in adult bodies with no mothers in the home and women being made to feel guilty if they do not achieve the same as a man. Remember the phrase it takes a village? Well, the broken family system is a real sad loss here in man made world pushing everyone to be individual and self sufficient. Also so many with wanting attention and pursuing personal endeavors for personal gain and not helping anyone else in a real way. The journey is personal. Of course, you want to share what you experienced with others, but what worked for you will not work for them, stop trying to sell it. Stop trying to make people follow you for you to teach your divine wisdom you remembered. It isn’t about You. You don’t even have the full story, you have your story. And, yes you can be very close to me, very similar to me, in my image, but you can never BE me. Doesn’t work like that. Reflection. So when jealousy arises when you think I am who you think I am. That is part of your test and your journey. You wrestle with that feeling and atone and repent for that which has been done and that which still lingers now. Oh there is a place for everyone and I am quite tired of trying to warn people. Clearly you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink.
Why do you not want it to be me so badly? Because I proved my love? You still think I am better than you or do I think I’m always right. No I do not think I am always right, I just know when I am right and I stand by it. There is a difference. You constantly overgeneralize. I gave up all the magic and thunder to live as a simple human and am still kind and loving? I still found my way back. Because you can no longer say I do not understand because I always get what I want? No. You do not understand. I never get what I want, because I make everything about you and still nothing was ever good enough. So, now...it in on you to save yourself and each other. In my image, by my example. Selflessness. Love. Compassion. Give to receive. Take only what you need and give the rest away. I find out so stop lying to yourself and everyone, you aren’t fooling anyone anyway. How do I know? By watching what you do. We have these same conversations over and over, the same argument over and over again. So many different ways, so many different times, through so many different people, so many different versions. Save you. Save Me. Say it for always.
Anyhow, Jesus challenges the Jewish priests who were taking collection money for personal use and adding personal baths to their residents at a time where the people only had a community bath where women and persons with disabilities were not allowed to bathe. And yet churches still do this after Jesus was crucified saying that, that was wrong. I am appalled. The Vatican is the biggest disappointment I have ever seen. It is truly the house of Satan as only Evil hides secrets. “THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.” A church cannot be a “House of God” and house no people who need housing. A roof can be offered to anyone and yet there are so many rules to prevent people from helping each other. Power and control. Abuse of both. Greed. It is out of hand and needs to be changed. Too many are afraid and the complacency of good people is too much. Why do you do this to yourselves? To each their own I suppose.
I will only leave here my words and my advice. As always, it is on you to find me. I’m right here. Waiting. Right here waiting for you. Helping those of you who want it when they cross my path. The purpose of this was to weigh your soul to determine where you will go into the next life as the system is balanced out in a final version so to speak. Permanent.
Fear not. You will be where your heart truly desires. But actions always speak louder than words. But man made money has no value, nor does any metals, jewels, and so on, so the collection of it in this life has no bearing on the next. Those are all made of the same stardust as you and I. And in the end of 3D it will all be diamonds anyways. Diamond is forever. There is no going back. So what are you hoarding? You cannot keep it. Who could you be helping for goodness sake? Don’t want to still. That is okay. Think I am just crazy. That is okay too. It is all part of the test...err..assessment. Do your best.
What is in your heart?
Home.
I need a home.
Stay tuned as more of my story unfolds. I give all the answers but you must do the work. I already did that hard part setting it all up. All you have to do is breathe and live. Time is the only real currency you have. What will you pay your attention to before this life runs out?
2023.06.06 20:17 Joadzilla The alt-right economy is failing. Here’s the real performance of anti-woke entrepreneurs
https://fortune.com/2023/06/05/alt-right-economy-is-failing-real-performance-of-anti-woke-entrepreneurs-business-politics-sonnenfeld/
In commenting on Bob Iger’s defense of Disney’s values and brand in the face of threats from Florida Governor DeSantis, Nike CEO John Donahoe said, “I think Bob’s doing a great job at this. If it’s core to who you are and your values, then you stand up for your values.”
That spirit has been rewarded by the free market. Across many fronts, we have shown in quantitative analysis of business performance that doing good for society is not at the expense of doing well for shareholders, with clear examples ranging from Russian business exits to public engagement on voting rights.
Yet still, grandstanding political ideologues are using opportunistic attacks on iconic U.S. enterprises to showcase their own nascent anti-ESG businesses, and reportedly build a “parallel economy” catering to conservative constituencies. But far from flourishing, an objective review of the facts suggests these anti-wokester jokesters are financially foundering.
One little-known index fund provider, the American Conservative Values ETF (ACVF), recently received a flurry of media attention for boycotting Target over what they described as its “pandering to the woke agenda,” confidently declaring that their boycott of Target will ensure “Target stock’s long-term performance will suffer.”
Target stock is down, but in reality, the fund’s total holdings of Target amount to just $100,000–equivalent to the revenue that Target nets every 20 seconds. In fact, ACVF’s total assets under management are a rather measly $40 million–and many of their other “boycotted” companies–including iconic All-American enterprises such as Apple, Microsoft, Delta Airlines, American Airlines, Disney, Walmart, Coca-Cola, Salesforce, and JPMorgan–have performed quite well since being targeted by ACVF. Delta is up 10% this year, American is up 15% this year, Microsoft and Apple are both up over 40% this year and Salesforce is up 60%. Thanks in part to missing out on these top-performing stocks, ACVF is underperforming the S&P 500 by over 2% this year through June 1. No wonder even politically conservative investors stay away from these anti-woke ETFs.
ACVF’s struggles rather pale in comparison to those of its much larger and better-known rival, presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s Strive Asset Management. We have contacted both firms about our findings by phone and email, but their representatives directed us to figures published on their respective websites, which we checked–and double-checked.
The business models of both Strive and ACVF are similar: They construct exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, for mom-and-pop retail investors to passively track a basket of stocks, matching rather than trying to beat the broader market. Unlike hedge funds, these ETF providers do not care if the stocks go up, down, or sideways–rather, they get their money from fees charged on anyone who has their money in a Strive ETF. Most ETFs are very low-fee products–but the anti-woke ETFs come at a premium. BlackRock ETFs, for example, usually charge around 0.03% fees. Strive’s fees are comparatively higher at up to 0.41%–but nothing compared to ACVF’s 0.75% fee.
To survive over the long run, these nascent ETF providers need to continually attract new money from mom-and-pop investors. And that is exactly what it appears they are struggling to do. All the evidence, out in the open, shows that Strive has had a hard time attracting additional investor inflows beyond its original anchor investors after the launch of its ETFs last year. Its assets under management appear to have stagnated despite Ramaswamy’s loud media presence.
For example, its largest flagship ETF, the Strive US Energy ETF (DRLL), has almost exactly the same amount of assets under management (AUM) as of June 1, $320 million, that it did when it was launched in August/September 2022, and its AUM is down nearly 25% from the start of this year.
Fully half of Strive’s eight current ETF products–including the Strive 1000 Growth ETF, the Strive 1000 Value ETF, the Strive 1000 Dividend Growth ETF, and the Strive Small-Cap ETF–have less than $12 million assets under management each, which is microscopic relative to the industry standard–and less than the average compensation of a single major CEO at most companies.
Thus it is hardly surprising that some of the most admired CEOs are flippantly swatting away Strive’s attempts at “activism.” Ramaswamy has become the court jester of corporate governance. The mere mention of his name brings anything from smirks to outright gales of laughter amongst some corporate audiences.
One hopes that Strive is not on a path to fail as badly as some of Ramaswamy’s previous ventures, such as Axovant, a Ramaswamy-founded company whose stock price plunged from $200 to 40 cents, or Campus Venture Networks, Ramaswamy’s much-hyped undergraduate startup which, despite his self-aggrandizement, he apparently sold for just a few thousand dollars, if his tax returns are correct. Even one of Strive’s biggest financial backers, Bill Ackman, is apparently embarrassed and rushing to disavow Ramaswamy. Meanwhile, Strive is reduced to seeking “consulting contract” handouts from friendly politicos. Perhaps this helps explain why Ramaswamy is running his longshot Presidential campaign: Nothing turns around sagging business fortunes quite like a new burst of free publicity!
It is not only in high finance that these “parallel economy” startups are flailing. Attempts to build a new alt-right media ecosystem are similarly landing with a thud.
Perhaps most infamously, Donald Trump’s much-hyped Truth Social alt-platform has imploded in value, with its SPAC packaging (ticker DWAC) shares falling from $95 to $13 even as the former president flails away on this otherwise quiet platform. Alt-right social media rivals such as Gab and GabPay are struggling to gain traction, begging for donations through crowdsourced funding, while provocateur Alex Jones and his Infowars declared bankruptcy after a record $1 billion verdict for the Sandy Hook families. More prominently, One America News has now been dropped by every major cable operator, partially driven by low audiences, while its behemoth rival Fox’s struggles are just beginning after the record $787.5 million Dominion settlement–with its board reportedly becoming weary of deviating too far from the mainstream.
Efforts to expand the alt-right parallel economy across digital services and even physical goods are running straight into the ground as well. Virtually all major retailers from Bed Bath & Beyond to Walmart to Kohl’s to Costco have cut ties with Mike Lindell’s MyPillow, which just months ago closed its last in-person retail mall store while losing $100 million, according to Lindell himself. Former Trump personnel director Johnny McEntee’s project–an alt-right dating site, “The Right Stuff”–has been lambasted even by its core constituency, with its mostly men frustrated by the lack of women users, and its seed funding from Peter Thiel is reportedly scheduled to run out in the next few months.
To a hammer, everything looks like a nail; and the exertions of some anti-woke activists in extrapolating politicized rhetoric into the economy can stretch into caricature. Strangely, the struggles of the nation’s regional banks, such as SVB, Signature, and First Republic, were superstitiously blamed on “wokeism” and the facts–that these less diversified banks were unprepared for the Fed’s interest rate hikes and that larger, equally “woke” banks were better insulated from these interest rate swings–were ignored. This month, even the conservative New York Post was bewildered by the sudden ire this month of anti-wokesters targeting the privately owned, very spiritual, Christian values-guided restaurant chain Chick-fil-A because, years ago, they promoted a longstanding internal HR executive to oversee diversity and equal opportunity.
Despite positioning themselves as reverent guardians of free markets against government and social overreach, many anti-wokester jokesters seem to have forgotten the most basic requirement of capitalism: to make a profit. Ironically, the free market delivers the most condemning verdict of all. The favorite “woke” targets of anti-ESG activists continue to soar to record economic heights, effortlessly shrugging off anti-woke attacks.
Clearly, despite all the hype and drama, there is little financial threat to mainstream business posed by the anti-woke economy. It’s not a genuine parallel economy–these are scattered cases of ideological grifters and struggling entrepreneurs. Their real talent seems to lie in fast-talking media platforms into giving them an undeserved platform to unfairly target iconic pillars of U.S. enterprise. But as these anti-wokester jokesters struggle to gain financial traction, the numbers will continue to disprove their claims.
2023.06.06 20:06 BFreeCoaching How to “Love Yourself” & What It Actually Means
“Love yourself” has become a well-intentioned, but generic & hollow platitude. Let’s explore 10 practical applications so you know how to do it.
Self-love is caring about how you feel, and focusing more on thoughts that feel better (and less on thoughts that feel worse). Focus more on what you want, and less on what you don’t want. Self-hate is disconnection; self-love is creating connection. So loving yourself is integrating parts of you that have been ignored.
Also note the Self-Love Paradox: To truly love yourself, you are okay with those times when you don’t. You have compassion for when you don’t take care of yourself.
1. Connect with Your Creativity.
You have unique energy that needs to be expressed. E.g. dancing, singing, writing, drawing, painting, video making, etc. Experiment with different creative outlets until you find one(s) you resonate with.
2. Connect with Nature.
Your body came from Earth, so you’re literally connecting with your roots. E.g. go for a walk, hiking, go to the beach, walk barefoot in dirt, buy or interact with plants, listen to nature sounds, etc.
3. Connect with Your Body.
“What do you need today? You support me a lot, so how may I serve and support you?” E.g. drink plenty of water, deep breathing, grounding work and felt sense, better quality sleep, healthier diet, hug yourself, put your hand on your heart, pay more attention to your five senses, and move your body (e.g. dancing, exercise, stretching, etc.).
4. Connect with Your Negative Emotions.
Be friends with negative emotions and work together as a team. “I know you’re here to support and empower me, and I want to understand your emotional text messages.”
5. Connect with Source & Your Higher Self.
Meditate. “What’s important for me to know right now? What should I be focusing on? How do you feel about me?”
6. Change How You Approach Everyday Life.
7. “How Can I Make This More Fun?”
With any mundane activity, ask yourself, “How can I make this more fun? How can I add more play, today?”
8. Self-Reflect.
After an unwanted experience, ask yourself:
9. Give Love Languages to Yourself.
Give yourself quality time, physical touch, words of affirmation, acts of service, and/or gifts.
10. Build Simple Habits: 1% Better & 2-Minute Rule (Atomic Habits by James Clear).
Loving yourself is learning how to run. Liking yourself is learning how to walk. Take one step at a time, get 1% better at liking yourself each day, and you will naturally build up towards loving yourself.
When you make habits that are simple and easy, you're more likely to stick with them. And when you see progress, you build more trust in yourself to follow through in what you care about. And when you consistently show up for yourself, you begin cultivating self-love. So everyday, ask yourself, “How can I get 1% better at this?” Or, “I’ll do whatever I can in 2 minutes to work towards my goal.”

7. “How Can I Make This More Fun?”
With any mundane activity, ask yourself, “How can I make this more fun? How can I add more play, today?”
- When eating with a fork or spoon, fly it around like an airplane first before taking a bite.
- Throw vitamins in the air and try to catch it with your mouth.
- Hop to the bathroom like a frog (but don’t do it if you have to poo haha).
8. Self-Reflect.
After an unwanted experience, ask yourself:
- “What does this teach me about myself? Who do I want to be moving forward?”
- “How will this help me care for myself with more warmth and understanding?”
- “What do I know more clearly now about what I want in a partner and relationships?”

2023.06.06 19:34 Vast-Listen1457 031 The Not-Immortal Blacksmith II – “Heroes” & "The reluctant Lich, Part 2!"
Better late than "The Late".
- - -
Three mortal teenagers from earth, each equipped for a paintball tournament, looked around the medieval town they had found themselves in. One of the three, a boy named Sam was the first to speak. “Guys? I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.”
The female of the trio looked at Sam, “Well duh. We left Kansas two weeks ago.”
“Molly! Leave Sam alone. You know he’s slow some days.” The third member of their group said.
“Shut it Hesh, you furry reject!” Sam and Molly said at the same time.
“You’re just pissed that I got to keep my cat ears for the tournament.” Hesh responded with a grin.
Sam looked around the street they were standing on. “Do either of you think it’s strange that there’s nobody on the street?”
“Yeah. Where is everyone?” Hesh replied. “You’d think they would be happy to see their new Heroes in person. I was expecting a parade the way that super-hot goddess was talking.”
“You thought she was super-hot too?” Sam asked, shock apparent in his voice.
Hesh stood to their full height. “I may be an ace, but I’ve got eyes. If she wasn’t the posterchild for beauty, I don’t know what is.”
Molly sighed. “Boys!”
“Hey!” Sam said. “Hesh is a TRAP! Not a boy!”
Hesh punched Sam in the shoulder, sending him flying through the wall he was standing next to. Hesh and Molly stared as Sam stood up coughing.
“What was that for?” Sam asked once the coughing fit ended.
Molly and Hesh continued to stare.
-
The trio of Heroes walked around the deserted town, looking for any signs of life. “I see a couple of birds from up here, but no people.” Hesh said from the roof of a row house.
“That makes three birds, two rats and a goat.” Molly said. “Too bad the goat ran away before we could try and kill it for food.”
“Right?” Sam replied. “Maybe it was some sort of ‘Magic’ goat that would give us even more power?”
Hesh and Molly looked at Sam, “Shut up.”
“What it would be fun!” Sam looked down at the paintball ‘magazine’* on his belt. “Hey! Ammo is full again!” He dumped the magazine of balls into the hopper on his gun, and let loose a full auto burst. The shots went clean through the building, and exited the other side, then burst on the wall of the next building over.
Hesh laughed, loading and spraying his balls across the roof of the row house until he fell through into the attic. “I can’t believe these do so much damage now! What do you think would happen if we raised the pressure to max on the guns?” They yelled from inside the building as he shot his way down to the ground floor, and came out through the wall.
Molly, eyes gleaming, said “I want to find out!” and made herself a spot to sit by breaking a nearby stone wall. After sitting down, she started to riffle through her pack for a tool kit.
Hesh and Sam stood to the side, watching her work.

Part 2
Several months had passed and “John the Lich King” had been busy. Several of the items in the treasury had been sold on the international stage, and the kingdom was in the black again. Most of the art was on public display in the capital itself. And John was in the middle of writing a proclamation about ‘Literacy, being tantamount to expanding the kingdoms workforce’ when a living guard (he had found out that the old king had used the undead for all of the jobs in the castle, hence all the bone piles when he had died) stuck his head into his office behind the throne.
“My Lord, Bolder the Drake has been sighted headed this way.”
John nodded, “Thank you Robert. I can take it from here.” He stood from his comfortable chair, “Tell your wife I say hi. And good luck with your new lad, I hope he grows up big and strong.”
“Thank you, my lord.” Sir Robert bowed himself out of the office and returned to his position on the wall.
I don’t think I will ever get used to being called ‘My Lord’ or ‘King’. John thought as he stepped out of the office and walked up to his throne. Why is this throne so uncomfortable? Maybe another cousin? He heard the sound of the dragon king land in the courtyard, and tried to get comfortable on the throne. “Open the doors for the Dragon King.” He called to the footmen at the far door.
The men saluted, and swung open the massive double doors of the castle (as opposed to the normal person sized door set into the left-hand large door). The large, and somewhat portly, dragon king entered.
“Oh, so the farmer king has decided to meet with me at last?” Bolder the Drake’s voice almost shook the great room, and the footmen had to cover their ears. John was glad that death had made such things as ‘noise’ not bother him as much.
“Well met, Drake.” John glowered at the dragon. “You know my proper title. If you will not show me the honor of my station, then I will deny you yours.”
Bolder glowered at the dead human. “You will show me respect, or I will burn you from your throne, and conquer your pitiful kingdom!”
“Or you could just be polite.” John answered. Gods above, I’m so glad I don’t really feel fear anymore, otherwise I think I would have pissed myself by now!
The dragon raised his head almost to the ceiling, pointing his muzzle down towards the throne. “Bend your knee to me, and I will make you a vassal state. Ignore this gift, and I will destroy you.”
“So… Death or slavery? Those are my only options?” John asked.
“Yes.” The gloating dragon replied.
“Death it is.” John smiled, “Oh, wait, I’m already dead.”

War. War always changes. Sure, the basics of ‘kill them before they kill you’ remains the same; but, for better or worse, the means and methods are constantly on the move.
King John sat astride his new warhorse, heavy plate armor girding his body. The Lance of Dragon Slaying was in his right hand, and the Sword of Snicker-Snack belted at his waist. A squire handed him a large kite shield. Across the rolling hills, turned wasteland, of the battlefield, he could see Bolder the dragon lounging in the sun, being fed by one of his handmaidens. Or in this case, eating one of his handmaidens.
John sighed. “Alright, I have a plan. Just don’t be surprised, okay?” He looked to his left at Lord Devon.
“As you say, my lord.” Devin replied.
John rode his horse to the middle of the field. “Dragon! I challenge you to a duel. A duel to the death!”
Bolder looked down at John, “Oh, finally some spine from the dead man? Very well, I accept!” He stood and shook himself; bits of the recently deceased handmaid flew about him; and walked to the field of battle.
John spurred his mount to a trot, lowered the Lance of Dragon Slaying, and at ten yards spurred his mount again.
For his part Bolder let John charge. He was certain the lance would bounce off of his scales. And he was mostly right, as when the attack struck it was off center by nearly a yard and skittered for a bit down his side. Then it dug in, and he roared.
John left the lance behind as he wheeled his horse to the side and fled from the dragon’s claws as they reached for him. Sadly, for his horse, it took a claw across its rump and spilled. John rolled across the ground for a dozen feet before coming to a stop.
John stood up, drew the Snicker-Snack, and yelled at the dragon, “Is that all you can do? Kill innocent horses?”
Bolder sat up. “Are you calling me a coward?”
“Yes I am.” John yelled up at the now annoyed dragon. “I bet you couldn’t even eat me in one bite, you worthless excuse for a worm. I’ve met lizards braver than you!”
Bolder struck. Head swinging down, jaws open; he consumed John in one bite. Then realized his mistake as John’s sword pierced the side of his throat from the inside, and sliced through the veins in his neck. He choked and gasped, but as his life’s blood spilled onto the field, he knew he was dead. One last time, he tried to breath his flames, but they never came. He collapsed.
A thoroughly blood-soaked King John crawled out of the gash in the dragon neck, stumbled forwards and collapsed to the ground. “I’m glad that’s over. Now I need a bath.”
-
The battle over and the dragon slain, John the Dragon Slaying Lich King advanced his forces into the dragon’s former kingdom and subsumed it into his own.

Ugh. Like I've said before, mental health is important! Take care of yourselves! If you want to feel sad, go watch "1916" by Sabaton, or the original by Motorhead; I will let y'all decide which is more moving.
In other news, my NCCC reunion is this weekend. So EXCITED! The kid finished school for the year this past Friday (so glad that isn't hanging over my head any more). Brother Proof bought me a pair of excellent gaming books for my birthday!
Can't think of any other news from the River Valley.
Safety brief??? Sure. (Blame Ralts and Tractor Man for this.)
Stay out of the dust storm. Wear a helmet on your bike, you don't want to become an organ donor. DRINK YOUR WATER, it's bloody hot out. Keep your hands to yourself. Elves are still annoying as hell. Avoid the Fae at all cost, and never give them your name, even if they politely ask for it! When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade isn't your friend anymore. If you trust your government, you don't know your history. Make sure your dog is eating enough cheese. Know yourself, if you need help call the FBI. Follow the Demolitions expert if they are running in panic. Help people. Try to be the best you.

Three mortal teenagers from earth, each equipped for a paintball tournament, looked around the medieval town they had found themselves in. One of the three, a boy named Sam was the first to speak. “Guys? I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.”
The female of the trio looked at Sam, “Well duh. We left Kansas two weeks ago.”
“Molly! Leave Sam alone. You know he’s slow some days.” The third member of their group said.
“Shut it Hesh, you furry reject!” Sam and Molly said at the same time.
“You’re just pissed that I got to keep my cat ears for the tournament.” Hesh responded with a grin.
Sam looked around the street they were standing on. “Do either of you think it’s strange that there’s nobody on the street?”
“Yeah. Where is everyone?” Hesh replied. “You’d think they would be happy to see their new Heroes in person. I was expecting a parade the way that super-hot goddess was talking.”
“You thought she was super-hot too?” Sam asked, shock apparent in his voice.
Hesh stood to their full height. “I may be an ace, but I’ve got eyes. If she wasn’t the posterchild for beauty, I don’t know what is.”
Molly sighed. “Boys!”
“Hey!” Sam said. “Hesh is a TRAP! Not a boy!”
Hesh punched Sam in the shoulder, sending him flying through the wall he was standing next to. Hesh and Molly stared as Sam stood up coughing.
“What was that for?” Sam asked once the coughing fit ended.
Molly and Hesh continued to stare.
-
The trio of Heroes walked around the deserted town, looking for any signs of life. “I see a couple of birds from up here, but no people.” Hesh said from the roof of a row house.
“That makes three birds, two rats and a goat.” Molly said. “Too bad the goat ran away before we could try and kill it for food.”
“Right?” Sam replied. “Maybe it was some sort of ‘Magic’ goat that would give us even more power?”
Hesh and Molly looked at Sam, “Shut up.”
“What it would be fun!” Sam looked down at the paintball ‘magazine’* on his belt. “Hey! Ammo is full again!” He dumped the magazine of balls into the hopper on his gun, and let loose a full auto burst. The shots went clean through the building, and exited the other side, then burst on the wall of the next building over.
Hesh laughed, loading and spraying his balls across the roof of the row house until he fell through into the attic. “I can’t believe these do so much damage now! What do you think would happen if we raised the pressure to max on the guns?” They yelled from inside the building as he shot his way down to the ground floor, and came out through the wall.
Molly, eyes gleaming, said “I want to find out!” and made herself a spot to sit by breaking a nearby stone wall. After sitting down, she started to riffle through her pack for a tool kit.
Hesh and Sam stood to the side, watching her work.

Part 2
Several months had passed and “John the Lich King” had been busy. Several of the items in the treasury had been sold on the international stage, and the kingdom was in the black again. Most of the art was on public display in the capital itself. And John was in the middle of writing a proclamation about ‘Literacy, being tantamount to expanding the kingdoms workforce’ when a living guard (he had found out that the old king had used the undead for all of the jobs in the castle, hence all the bone piles when he had died) stuck his head into his office behind the throne.
“My Lord, Bolder the Drake has been sighted headed this way.”
John nodded, “Thank you Robert. I can take it from here.” He stood from his comfortable chair, “Tell your wife I say hi. And good luck with your new lad, I hope he grows up big and strong.”
“Thank you, my lord.” Sir Robert bowed himself out of the office and returned to his position on the wall.
I don’t think I will ever get used to being called ‘My Lord’ or ‘King’. John thought as he stepped out of the office and walked up to his throne. Why is this throne so uncomfortable? Maybe another cousin? He heard the sound of the dragon king land in the courtyard, and tried to get comfortable on the throne. “Open the doors for the Dragon King.” He called to the footmen at the far door.
The men saluted, and swung open the massive double doors of the castle (as opposed to the normal person sized door set into the left-hand large door). The large, and somewhat portly, dragon king entered.

2023.06.06 19:26 dark-jester Any SouthPark bike commuters??
I have lived in Steele Creek for about 7 years (near the Rivergate area). If you know that location, u know there is no way to avoid S Tryon if you work uptown. That commute is 1.5 hrs for me and I am not always in the mood to cycle for that long. Anyway I’m planning to move to the Southpark area and curious what routes you all use to commute to uptown? Let’s say starting around the South Park mall. Should I take Park Rd until I reach the Park Rd shopping center then use the greenways from there? Or can I avoid Park Rd altogether?
