Covert medication is medication given without the knowledge of the patient. Have you ever been given medication in such a manner? If yes how did you respond to it. What are your views on it ?
I will start this with the caveat that I like my job, and I didn't just choose to become a doctor to appease/impress my parents. If this is truly something you are passionate about then follow your dreams. It may not be as glamorous of a career as some might think (eg. cutting open scrotal abscesses, getting cussed at by drug seekers in the ED, having people question your medical expertise because of something they read on WeChat), but it's definitely gratifying and provides financial stability.
That said, I will share some wisdom that I have only recently come to realize in my late 20s. Many of us have survived childhoods with covert (or malignant) narcissistic mothers who are judgmental, critical, passive aggressive, always the victim, never apologizing, and chronically unhappy. We remain optimistic and hopeful that things will change. We think, "If I just get into medical school and become a doctor, I will finally earn my parents's love and validation."
I hate to break it to you but this love and validation will never come. The goal post of your parents's expectations keeps getting higher and higher. I literally am a staff physician and my parents still find ways to undermine everything I've accomplished.
My advice is to run away, run far away, and do it as soon as you can. In the mean time, grey rock the shit out of them and treat them like air when they lash out at you. There will be no happy ending at home, but you can carve your own path and follow your own dreams. You deserve to find happiness and love.

Scenario: On medicine unit; evening shift. Classmate (SN) assigned pt who was diagnosed with dementia and did not speak English. Pt was scheduled for her nighttime medications (PRN trazodone and scheduled aspirin - both PO). SN attempted to administer medication but pt refused. Pt reported to be compliant but appeared to show signs of sundowning this evening (agitation, restlessness, confusion). SN attempted to educate pt on med, but ineffective due to language barrier. With consent from assigned RN, SN crushed tablet, concealed in applesauce and administered to pt without patient’s knowledge or consent. After some time, the pt had calmed down. should nurses administer medication to a pt w/o their knowledge or consent?
So my mother used to behave inappropriately around me as a teenager. She would often walk on on me changing, have me walk in on her changing, and try to touch my body or make comments about it. She would also insist on 'helping me shower' or specifically helping me wash my hair because she decided I had forgotten how. I was struggling with depression and found showering difficult. When I told her I found this uncomfortable it became a punishment, and every time she did this she would comment on and touch my body. Even though it was not necessary she insisted I had to be naked the entire time. It would frequently take over an hour.

Words Spoken We Fear who often went by the name Speaks or Fear was a black mantid, born on Mantid Prime AKA Hivehome AKA Anthill nearly sixty years before. He was largely quiet and unassuming, following the more bombastic and publicly visible Dreams of Something More to act as her social media specialist.
He was much more and the cover was a necessity.
Since the end of the C3 War and the fall of the Unified Council, Speaks had been involved with running cybersecurity for the entire diplomatic team as well as following up on GalNet and other electronic warfare threats.
Which amused him, since he had started out as an electronic warfare specialist with the Mantid Naval Forces.
While Dreams was more concerned with herding Lanaktallan diplomats and politicians into signing the treaties and lately, a harder job, just acknowledging that the world existed outside of their virtual worlds, Speaks was more worried about what exactly was going on in GalNet since SolNet had been wired in.
There had been a few odd things that cropped up that made him sit in his room and think deeply about what could possibly go on.
The attempted assassination of System Director Brentili'ik.
The assassination of several highly placed Lanaktallan with the Night Terran's MO that occurred after the retributive system had been taken offline.
Data adjustment coming out of the core Confederate systems.
Speaks had finely tuned senses after nearly a half century of clandestine operations and his senses told him that something was going on that was hidden from everyone's view.
Which is why he had prepared multiple disconnected work spaces in strange out of the way places.
The dumpster behind Charlie's Diner in the lower income section of Council City was one such operational space.
Being only three feet high and able to fold himself up tightly meant he needed less work space. A quick adjustment to the dumpster's barcode made sure that it wouldn't be disturbed by garbage trucks. Plastic lining, EM barr

The cities of the Unworthy made for the perfect inaugural pyre for the renewal of the Holy Endeavor. They would continue to serve Kra as they had before the Mortification.
He shook his head in thought as he remembered those days. He had been a child when their Endeavor had first begun.
Initially, the Chosen's Holy Endeavor had met with success. Over a period of twenty years, a dozen unclean worlds had been discovered and cleansed, ready for the servants of Kra to purify. Three species of his Unworthy Children had even been fully extinguished! A triumph!
Kra had been pleased by his Chosen Children's attempts to aid his Great Servants, and rewarded them greatly. As their Endeavor progressed, His Great Servants had purified five unclean worlds very close to the Home Systems, each a blank slate, ready to be remade in the image of Kra's greatest work, Krathig-yar.
New homes and resources for the Chosen.
Then, disaster had struck. A large group of Unworthy species had been encountered, that worked together. They began coordinating their forces with others to oppose righteous cleansing. But the true depth of their depravity was revealed when they began employing unholy synthetic life against the Chosen; Thou Shalt Not Create Life, For That Is The Domain Of Kra.
The Chosen had despaired, as their fleets had been destroyed, corrupted by the Unworthy's unholy familiars, and been pushed back to the Home Systems.
It had taken what became known as The Mortification to stop them, so named because it was both a humiliation and a penance. Humiliated by their defeats at the hands of the Unworthy, The Chosen had thrown themselves at their enemy in the millions, using ramshackle, quickly built ships with as little automation as possible to prevent corruption.
It had required the sacrifice of twenty percent of their population to stop the Unworthy, but they had done it. He remembered, as a young priest-captain, watching from the bridge of his ship as their enemy finally withdrew.
The massive funeral pyres on the surface of Krathig-yar after.
Two decades of salvaging and rebuilding their fleet.
But this time, they would not fail. The Mortification had purged the weakness from the Cho
... keep reading on reddit ➡I've been thinking back about stuff I hadn't thought about in years, and I suddenly put two and two together and realized my mother was medically abusing me for her own entertainment throughout my childhood. It wasn't full-blown "poison your kid and make everyone think you're the heroic mother of a sick child", but I think that's just because she is a covert narcissist and not a full-blown one, herself. If she'd had more self-confidence I would have been royally screwed.
I had forgotten about this for a few years, but I remember being maybe 8 or 9 and that evil bitch convincing me that I had to shit in a tupperware container and keep in it in the fridge to take to the doctor!! I was young and gullible enough to believe that and it was so humiliating. I don't actually remember the outcome of this event, just the fucking tupperware container being hidden at the back of fridge in a paper bag. But wow, realizing your own mother is actually fucking nuts is still shocking. What kind of sick and twisted person would do that to a child, especially their own?!?
She has always made it a "hobby" of hers to go to as many doctors as possible, and when I was younger and still wasn't questioning her judgement, I never noticed anything odd about it. And when I would have any minor health complaint, even into my teen years, she would convince me that I should go see "Dr So-and-So", who ALWAYS turned out to be a nasty misogynist asshole who would treat me like garbage and like I was lying. And of course she would coach me about what to say to these fucking jerks (to make it worse!).
It's only been since I've been an adult and have stopped trusting my mother at all, and have sought out my own doctors, that I've been able to encounter doctors who are genuinely nice people who want to help others, and who don't sexualize me and treat me with disrespect because I'm female.
One (of many) example of sexualization and misogyny: Evil Bitch advised me to go see her "favorite" eye doctor when I happened to mention that I was having dry eyes (from not getting enough sleep/staring at the computer too long - easily remedied with habit changes and OTC eye drops, but NOOOO...), and when I went to see this asshole, he instantly decided that my problem was caused by having chlamydia in my eyes! I have never been in a situation where this could have happened. He also started insulting my appearance and suggested plastic surgery!!! I was fucking pissed and never went back.

Greetings Call of Duty: Mobile Community! We are back for the last community update of Season 11: Final Snow and as we are excited to announced that the next season is releasing next week on January 19th at 4 pm PT! We’ve shared a few teasers for the season over the past week, but the time for teasers is done and now it is time for announcements. Get ready for Season 1: Heist!
Season 1: Heist Announcement Trailer
This is the first season of 2022 so that means we are once again resetting both the season numbers but also the Ranked Series. Season 1: Heist is a season full of carefully planned capers, narrow getaways, high-tech urban weaponry, and Lunar New Year themed content! We have a significant amount of new and exciting content coming in that release, including two new maps: Hacienda and Nuketown Temple.
First, you’ll want to keep an eye out for the in-game update coming early next week. That update will contain plenty of non-season specific content and changes, like weapon balance, UI updates, settings updates, fixes, improvements, and a new lobby screen. However, everything else is tied to the Season 1 launch on the 19th and of course we’ll have that new content spaced out evenly throughout the season.
Depending on that update timing, we should have another community post early next week just for those patch notes and then you can expect a full release update on the 19th with all of the season’s details. For now, you can find plenty of new info about the season over on our Season 1: Heist Blog! Let’s jump in the rest of the community update now to go over the last of the Season 11 content alongside some exciting announcements about Call of Duty: Mobile content creators.

Whenever my parents come down on me for my ADHD symptoms, and I mention that they're ADHD symptoms and maybe it'd be good for me to like get treated for them, they just say I need to try harder. I've just given up on trying to explain this to them at this point, they refuse to listen to me.
Telling someone with ADHD or "try harder" is like telling a grieving son to "just be happy". Like, we can't! That's not how it works. I've been deciding coping mechanisms year upon year and they're not working well enough. It's intensely frustrating.
Sorry for the weird rant post it just needed to vent I guess.
EDIT: Holy freaking crap, I had no idea this would get nearly this much traction, I wake up and this is on the front page of the sub now. I really appreciate the support from each and every one of you, you guys remind me why I come to reddit when I feel unheard and rejected by the people who are supposed to care for me most.
A lot of people have been commenting similar things, so I figured I'd list some of them here in case you were thinking of commenting the same thing:
How old are you? Have you tried moving out?
I'm 21, and I would have moved out if I had the means to do so. No job means no money to pay for housing needs, because I was homeschooled I don't really have any friends in the area, and any church peeps I ordinarily would turn to for this sort of thing would probably side with my parents because they're more connected with them, and the same problems could persist there, if I would be accepted at all.
You should try getting diagnosed and medicated.
I want to do both, but my parents won't let me do either while I'm living with them, most likely taking my car keys and removing me from their health insurance if I attempt to do so. Based on some of y'all's advice, though, I will probably attempt to discreetly get diagnosed during the next college semester, at least, as that's a step in the right direction. If I can somehow afford to pay for meds out of pocket and that's possible in the state where my college is, I'll strongly consider that, but I definitely don't want to rush into medication.
You should try to explain what you're going through to your parents and educate them about ADHD.
They very rarely listen to me, if ever, and whenever I bring up ADHD, they shut me down and say "it's not an excuse". I rarely get in enough leeway to say more than a couple words at most when I bring the subject up. My parents love to misconstrue me sta

After reading the latest chapter 1037, I started to wonder about who the WG could possibly be talking about aside from Zunesha, which would seem like the answer, too bad that's not Oda's style. After speculating it was Tama, but realizing it couldn't be, because Tama being able to control animals should be no more valuable than Belo Betty's Kobo Kobo no mi or Gecko Moriahs shadow fruit or Doflamingos string fruit. figured the power to control is not what the WG is after in this case as power is all around in one piece, though some powers are needed more than others. Mythical powers. The WG is known to have wanted the Ope Ope no mi for its ability to perform the everlasting youth surgery. The one thing the celestial dragons and world nobles care most about is the ability to live longer. So after researching Chopper I have found some damning evidence that Chopper is the one Cipher Pol is warning the WG about and much more.
Main Points
I will explain:
- How Oda disguised Chopper's Fruit until Wano
- Why Choppers Fruit is not just the Hito-Hito no mi
- Some real life history that backs my theory and the Human Fruit model Shaman
- How the WG never realized Chopper had the rare fruit
- Why choppers fruit is important to the WG
- How the WG realized he had it
- When Chopper's fruit awakened and his Zoan mythical power
- Choppers relation to Zunesha (yeah, its big brain time)
- Why Chopper's fruit is causing a Frenzy for the five elders
How Oda Disguised Chopper's Fruit Until Wano
What’s odd about this is Chopper has been with the Straw hat crew for as long as they have been doing reckless shit, aside from Arlong park. So why not raise his bounty? Not even after Alabasta when the straw hats took down a warlord? They were all there, but key players like Luffy and Zoro took credit, which is understandable. Though, this is not the case with Thriller Bark, Enies Lobby, Punk Hazard and Dressrosa where Chopper plays pivotal parts
... keep reading on reddit ➡This is my first post here. I just want to see if anyone can relate. This subreddit is the greatest place on the internet! Yay! Also, sorry for the length of this.
If my life is a story, then there are some respects in which it looks like a typical story of abuse/trauma, but there are some respects in which it doesn't look that way at all. Due to the latter, I often doubt myself and suspect that I am full of bs. And that ushers in the shame and guilt...
My parents are both mental health professionals. My dad is a clinical psychologist and my mom is a social worker. Both practice as therapists. I am not sure if my dad qualifies as an N or not--he has some N tendencies, but he is also very withdrawn and dissociated and emotionally/socially dependent. My mom is in all likelihood an N. She has more of the typical features. I don't know whether to think of my dad as an E, or just some weird kind of covert quasi-N. It doesn't matter, though. At this point, after 4 years of NC and 5 years of therapy, I have found the most productive way to think about them is as a single 'merged' unit of narcissistic efficiency. They work together, like a machine. So that is how I think of them.
The thing is, they didn't do any of the 'mean' stuff. Instead, it was all infantilization, all the time. They gave me too many compliments. They would tell me I was really good at things that I knew I wasn't good at. They were just constantly sweet and saccharine people.
My dad would sexualize me (I am a man, to be clear). I do not know if he ever touched me or not. But I can remember him calling me a hottie. I can remember him standing there shirtless, and then turning to me and asking me if I was 'checking out his abs'. He would walk around butt naked ALL the time, well into my teenage years. He would sunbathe naked in the backyard when I had friends over. When I was 13, he was worried because I was hanging out with some older, kind of 'goth'-ish kids who liked to party and whatnot, and he screamed and cried about how I was going to become a "slut" if I kept hanging out with them. What father calls their 13-year-old son a slut? Only in the last month or two, since discovering the concept of 'covert incest' have I been talking about this stuff in therapy.
My mom wouldn't sexualize me so much as she would confide in me in various inappropriate ways about my dad. She would complain and cry to me that he was mean and abusive toward her. She would complain about how lonely she felt a
... keep reading on reddit ➡I have anxiety. I was refusing SSRIs so now they administered a deprressent that will make me less likely to resist if I refuse to take it. I've been cheeking my meds since that to hold on to the remaining piece of dignity and self control I have.
I don't know if I have been caught, but I am worried that they might know and are going to covertly medicate me. It sounds crazy but the "doctor" has made it clear that he thinks once I'm on the meds he thinks i will be better. He thinks I'm unable to decide whether I should take them or not. I disagree. If he is willing to administer a potentially dangerous drug to make me compliant then why would he not covertly do it behind my back? Maybe he thinks it'll save me the trauma.
I probably sound crazy, but my trust has been utterly shattered. I am 10x worse than when I came in. I was told that I would be given a potent drug because I have anxiety. This man doesn't give a shit about the trauma he will cause me.
I want to know if they can legally covertly medicate me under a mental health act section 2.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Edit: thanks for the support on this...also, RIP inbox. I'm going to add a few sources over the course of the day as requested.
Hi! Lemme address our loving and adoring fans who last year were mocking us and then this year are cherry-picking "heroes" because they allowed themselves to lose their jobs because of political beliefs...which literally fucked over their coworkers and patients in a time of crisis staffing levels. (But really, we've always been at crisis staffing levels, amirite?)
> The vaccines are gene therapy
mRNA vaccines are not gene therapy. They cannot change your DNA. For starters, they cannot access the nucleus due to issues pertaining to the size of mRNA molecules and they basically lack the keycard to gain entrance. We evolved that cellular defense in order to make sure we don't die due to simple bacterial and viral infections.
Even if mRNA could enter the nucleus, it lacks two enzymes that are required to become part of DNA. It would require reverse transcriptase in order to even be prepared in the format to be inserted and it would need integrase in order for that insertion to happen.
Since those three things don't happen, it's not gene therapy. What happens is the mRNA is consumed after being used to create a limited number of proteins for immune identification purposes and the mRNA is turned into nucleotides which already exist within the cellular environment to be turned into other things.
> The vaccines are used for tracking purposes
If you carry your cell phone on you 24/7, then they don't need covert nanotechnology to achieve this.
> More vaccinated people are being hospitalized than unvaccinated people.
This is just flat out false. Both my own personal experiences of operating in COVID environments and evidentiary studies absolutely do not support the assertion that more vaccinated individuals are being hospitalized than unvaccinated, especially within the US.
> The vaccine makes people sick with COVID
For starters, it can't. The mRNA vaccines lack the components required to do that. People might experience some side effects related to the vaccine, but they're not contracting COVID and those side effects are no where near as severe or as lasting as the effects of COVID themselves.
> COVID has a survival rate of [insert random fake number]
The mortality rate of COVID in the US is around 2%. That mortality rate exist within

So I’m the one in treatment and trying to ACTIVELY work on and heal from my Cluster B traits. I’ve gotten Borderline, Covert, and codependent “diagnosis” from my different therapists. If you read my last post, you’ll see that I identify most strongly with covert based on my experience with mortification. I’m scheduled for full day of neuropsychological testing to get an actual diagnosis next week.
Anyway, I’m trying to better understand my husband since he has problems of his own. Anytime I talk about him on forums, everyone says he sounds antisocial or avoidant or narcissistic himself. Even so, he can be sweet with me at times. Seems like it has to involve sex though. We can never just hug, or just kiss. It ALWAYS has to involve sex. And if I don’t want to, he gets resentful, very hurt and humiliated, or gives me the silent treatment.
What I’m trying to work on now is his communication with me. He refuses to tell me if something is bothering him and instead will go for several days not talking to me. I have to to pester him to tell me what’s wrong when I realize he is shutting down. I recognize this might be seen as me “trying to reel him back in”, but also it’s hurtful to not have any sort of communication with my own husband.
A few days ago we got in a big blowout because I confronted him for trying to have sex with me while I was sleeping. I take antipsychotics which are extremely strong, like I’m drugged, and I can’t consent. He swore he didn’t do anything and said “I don’t remember, maybe I was sleeping too.” When I got upset and stated to cry, he slammed the door and left and we haven’t really talked since. I sent him a long apology text for making him feel uncomfortable and the only thing he responded with is “it’s fine”.
Last night when I brought how he had been ignoring me, he said he didn’t want to talk about it. He had too much resentment towards me and would prefer not to argue. I told him I didn’t want to argue either, but what we are doing isn’t healthy, living under one roof as strangers and not talking.
He said he is tired of talking and by now it should be implied what is wrong. He said lately it feels like all I’m doing is working on myself and he isn’t a priority. He said I come home late, I don’t go to sleep with him at the same time, I don’t help extra around the house when he works ten hour days, and he just feels like a second option.
(Backstory, we briefly split up during my psychotic break. I’m trying to build my own sense
... keep reading on reddit ➡John barely had time to scream before he was tackled to the ground.
The elves were fighting to the death against dead things, armies of fiends and monsters.
Inanna was holding him down, she was still screaming in the same rant she had been on since she saw him.
“You! YOU! Taking god’s name and handing it to that infidel! That false idol! Wearing his symbol so that she could tread on anything he has ever stood for! I’m…”
John screamed, she was tearing his wings off his body. He slashed his sword forwards, it had been given to him from the Elf Queen herself and it managed to cut into the demon.
She ignored it and the flesh went back together so fast she barely had time to bleed.
“I’m going to rip you limb from limb. I’m going to tear every bone out of your body and then put them back in backwards. I’m going to tear that brain out of your head and remove your long term memory so that everything I ever do will hurt as much as the first time I do it. I am going to…”
Inanna was slowly ripping his wings off, her hand moved back and tore all of the white feathers off. She moved her hand back again and tore at the skin. Her hand poked through the muscles on his back and gripped the wings at their base, before crushing that bone.
An elf stabbed at her, before spontaneously exploding, the rest who could see him took a step back. The demon was certain death.
The demon, invincible, no longer bound by rules, she was stronger, faster and smarter than anyone else here. Her magic was unparalleled and her casting capacity was unrivaled.
A shovel smacked her right in the teeth and she spat out some blood before that too healed.
Mark pulled back his tool and went for another strike, Inanna raised her hand and caught the weapon inches from her face.
“You aren’t getting away from me this time, mortal.” She pulled the shovel out of his hands, her eyes were already bleeding. She let go of John to snatch Mark off his feet, she wrapped a hand around his neck and held him in the air.
Now Mark was trying to pummel the demon, doing worse than nothing. His hands were becoming bloody while the demon was unchanged.
She was laughing, at Mark, at herself. At the absurdity of the situation.
A demon of all things was about to strangle a man to death, if she had heard of this in her youth she might have ended her own existence to prevent this from happening. John chopped her in the side of the head, the sword glanced off the bone but left a big gash that leaked blood into her e

My psychiatrist is a scary type. He made out to me that he is on the ‘progressive/alternative’ bend of Psychiatry. He asked for my ‘life story’ before starting work together and I sent him 8,000+ words about traumas from age 5-21. He told me this was a place for debate and that he WANTED to be questioned and pushed. So far:
- He wants me to question him so his ‘expert’ opinion sets me right. It ultimately always comes down to the subtext of: ‘who has done this for decades, you or me?’. I didn’t have the worst mental anguish of my life (withdrawal symptoms from a rapid taper of an antipsychotic that I trusted him to oversee) no, I ‘had an emotional flashpoint’ that he still can’t figure out. The 100s of testimonies I read from people who had been through the same hell after stopping? That doesn’t apply here
- He has not ONCE mentioned how trauma may have impacted my ‘VERY complex mental health’ needs despite getting every horrific detail I can remember on paper and him allegedly reading it all
- He charges ££££ per session and I have no medical insurance so it’s direct cash to his groaning wallet. My narcissist dad bankrolls the whole thing. This Dr used to do NHS work (far far lower salary) but apparently realised that ‘the rich are some of the most messed up in that there is a price to pay for privilege’. Wow, I’m sure that’s why…. Not so that you can make extortionate amounts per hour for what amounts to victim-blaming CBT sessions.
- As above, he disregards material conditions to the point of absurdism. I should ‘change my reactions around people to change theirs’. Apparently my dad, who has entire financial control over me and tells me I’d be homeless without him, might stop screaming abuse and invading every one of my boundaries if I CHANGE MY REACTIONS. Because apparently this Dr ‘found any angry patient completely changed around me when I learned to express myself with careful neutrality’.
- I have huge emotional blind spots apparently in that they are TOO MUCH, disproportionate in fact — apparently I need to be more accurate with labelling them. So much so that I need to write him daily reports of everything I feel in a day, following which he’ll tell me that I’m still not doing them right. It’s autism apparently. Not the fact I’ve been differently drugged every few months for the past 5 years (or that I’ve been sexually and emotionally abused as a child and am still living with a ‘caregiver’ who accidentally and more often purposefully triggers m

I wrote this in response to another post and some people seem to like it so I thought I'd post it as it's own post to maybe make it easier to find for anyone who wants it.
Feedback is welcome if you think I got something wrong.
We begin with Duarte and his journey from being turned off to overcoming the effects through his sheer will to protect his daughter. He projects himself into Trejo's consciousness, who is near Earth and then leaves his residence on Laconia. Trejo dispatches Colonel Alianna Tanaka to find him, giving her the highest level of clearance second only to his own. She investigates the area on Laconia where Teresa took her walks and tracks Duarte to the cave Amos lived in. She goes further into the cave network and discovers a place where the repair drones bring things to pools of some sort where they are repaired and she determines that Duarte left in some sort of small ship; he could be anywhere in any of the systems in the ring network. She decides the best way to find him is to use Teresa as a lure, so she sets out to find her. Her investigation turns up a relative of Duarte who runs a girls' boarding school on one of the colony worlds and decides to investigate it as a likely location for Teresa to be sent.
Elvi is investigating the big diamond (BFE) aboard the Falcon with a full science team and Xan and Kara. They use the Catalyst to trigger interactions between Kara and the BFE, putting Xan in the Catalyst containment chamber during the 'dives' to isolate him so he and Kara don't have any interactions and also so he can act as a control. Some of Kara's experiences during the dives are bleeding over into Amos, on the Roci.
The Rocinante and its crew (Jim, Naomi, Alex, Amos and Teresa, who has become a sort of apprentice to Amos) are just trying to avoid Laconian ships as Naomi continues to run the underground with her bottles. Alex receives a message from his son, Kit, who is now married and has a son and will shortly be moving to one of the colony worlds. As they are exiting the Sol ring to send a message from Alex to Kit, they see a small ship enter the ring space at high speed from Laconia. After sending their message, they transit the ring space to New Egypt to take Teresa to the boarding school, something she reluctantly agrees to. On their way down the well, they see a Laconian ship a little way behind them, they decide to land on New Egypt when it's on the other side of the planet just to be safe.

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
I'm about 50%—maybe 60%—through all the cosmere books out right now and I'm picking up major inter-planetary war on the horizon so I'm trying to figure out which plane has the upperhand in case of Worlds War I.
Personally, I'm leaning towards mistborn powers because metal shavings/powders have a better shelf life than lightning batteries. However, if they tried more projectiles, lashings could probably be more lethal than steel pushing since lashings aren't limited to just metals, just magnifications of gravity.
Stormlight and all the others definitely have more raw power, aerial advantage and medical support but I think mistborns have the advantage of guerrilla/covert potential (they dont glow) and their powers aren't reliant on magic batteries. Just make a trip to your local scrapyard and you're Gucci Jon patrucci.
Breathes have the advantage of both longevity and imagination, >!the fact that there's golems and zombies in Warbreaker but no giant mechas is just a missed opportunity imo.!< but they're limited by a consenting population.
What do you all think?

So I’m the one in treatment and trying to ACTIVELY work on and heal from my Cluster B traits. I’ve gotten Borderline, Covert, and codependent “diagnosis” from my different therapists. If you read my last post, you’ll see that I identify most strongly with covert based on my experience with mortification. I’m scheduled for full day of neuropsychological testing to get an actual diagnosis next week.
Anyway, I’m trying to better understand my husband since he has problems of his own. Anytime I talk about him on forums, everyone says he sounds antisocial or avoidant or narcissistic himself. Even so, he can be sweet with me at times. Seems like it has to involve sex though. We can never just hug, or just kiss. It ALWAYS has to involve sex. And if I don’t want to, he gets resentful, very hurt and humiliated, or gives me the silent treatment.
What I’m trying to work on now is his communication with me. He refuses to tell me if something is bothering him and instead will go for several days not talking to me. I have to to pester him to tell me what’s wrong when I realize he is shutting down. I recognize this might be seen as me “trying to reel him back in”, but also it’s hurtful to not have any sort of communication with my own husband.
A few days ago we got in a big blowout because I confronted him for trying to have sex with me while I was sleeping. I take antipsychotics which are extremely strong, like I’m drugged, and I can’t consent. He swore he didn’t do anything and said “I don’t remember, maybe I was sleeping too.” When I got upset and stated to cry, he slammed the door and left and we haven’t really talked since. I sent him a long apology text for making him feel uncomfortable and the only thing he responded with is “it’s fine”.
Last night when I brought how he had been ignoring me, he said he didn’t want to talk about it. He had too much resentment towards me and would prefer not to argue. I told him I didn’t want to argue either, but what we are doing isn’t healthy, living under one roof as strangers and not talking.
He said he is tired of talking and by now it should be implied what is wrong. He said lately it feels like all I’m doing is working on myself and he isn’t a priority. He said I come home late, I don’t go to sleep with him at the same time, I don’t help extra around the house when he works ten hour days, and he just feels like a second option.
