I just, I don't get Michael. Angela treats him like literal dirt, and I just don't get why he sticks around. Like, do you really want to come to America that badly? Is it your life goal to meet your business mentor and America's biggest mistake Donald Trump? I just, I don't get it. You could find someone better. You could find someone who gives you your own children and who you can grow your family with. You can find someone who doesn't want to basically torture you whenever you have sex, or if that is what you want, you can find someone who is much less aggressive. I'm going through their second season of the Other Way, and I would have just ended it. This woman has accused you of cheating on her, gets upset when you go out and celebrate your birthday and accused you of stealing from her and you still stay with her? No no no. Michael, you genuinely seem like a nice guy, and I don't know what kind of voodoo magic Angela did on your first night together but you are not tied to her crazy train. I would just hate for you to spend the next ten to twenty years of your life with someone who is clearly is abusive and doesn't respect you. Plus, you're going to run out of time potentially to have children and watch them grow up.
Sorry, I had to get this off my chest. I don't know if I am going to make it to happily ever after at this point cause I already want to burn my tv whenever these two show up.
When I make her mad she’ll call me the r-slur even though she agrees it’s wrong (there’s a high likelihood I’m autistic), cuss at me, berate me, yell at me constantly and deny it (I didn’t yell, I raised my voice). She treats my emotions with little value even while performing emotional honesty and taking pride in it.
I know for a fact that when my five year old cousin (who I adore) is over, she complains about me to her. I’ve seen her do it in front of me. She once told her that I “couldn’t be bothered to spend time with her” because I was tired and wanted to sleep one evening.
There’s so much that my mother says and does to me that makes me feel utterly worthless. But somehow, despite all of it, I’d say we have a good relationship.
When I manage to avoid her nerves, she’s the kindest, most understanding person in my life. She says she’d take a bullet for me and I 100% believe her. She’s a great mother…who is also abusive.
I understand that the human experience is multifaceted and someone can be both kind and abusive, but the sheer contrast between these two sides of her…for want of a better metaphor, it’s like Jekyll and Hyde. Nice Mom will even admit that some of the things she does are abusive, and that she needs to stop. But when the chips are down, it’s like those conversations never even happened.
I don’t know what to make of it all, and as I approach adulthood I still don’t know.
Somnium is a horror mod that puts you in a mysterious, nonlinear story. It’s the 2nd part of the Fleeting Feelings series by -M! and it follows a different perspective than the previous installment, The Disappearance of the Literature Club. However, it’s once again up to you to figure out who you are, as the mod isn’t going to tell you (and neither is this review).
The presentation is moody like Disappearance, but the vibe is more overtly fearful. The majority of it is in grayscale, with only one exception at the end. It creates an atmosphere of dread that goes well with its storytelling. Many aspects of the mod come together to create an uncomfortable experience, and even when you know what’s going on, it’s still pretty effective, and that’s kind of a feat for a mod as short as this.
It's the kind of mod you really have to pay attention to, or the only impression you’ll come away with is “what the hell did I just play?” Similar to its predecessor, the story is intentionally mixed up. It jumps around its timeline and won’t make much sense until you have enough of the pieces to put together (and maybe not even then). It’s trickier than in Disappearance because it’s hard to tell which scenes are related, what order they go in, and how they all connect together. Some of them won’t even seem relevant until you get a clearer picture. Along the way, you’re asked a bunch of disconcerting questions; the kind that people don’t like to think about. While your answers don’t impact the plot in any way, they serve to add to the unsettling air.
While it’s tough to grasp the story on your first pass, it is possible to fit some of the pieces together in the end. You can get an understanding of most of the events after playing, but some parts require context from other episodes of Fleeting Feelings, particularly Hypnopompic. For as confusing as it is to see initially, everything has its place once you get the whole picture, but you can’t find all the answers inside the mod, and you’ll have to construct it yourself. In a way, it kind of sucks that it’s not self-contained since you can walk away with the best comprehension of it and still not know what certain parts meant, but it was always intended to be part of a bigger series. In spite of that, it’s so well-constructed that it’s hard to fault it for leaving out what was supposed to be secret anyway.
All things considered, I give it a…
4.5/5

... keep reading on reddit ➡Hey Mates. I just wanna say a word of warning: I read very often posts like "Relapsed after x days - is my benefit all gone?". Keep aware dont just switch the PMO addiction to nofap addiction. I belive in the realy good benefits of nofap and im not such far as many of you guys but if you did 30, 60, 90,... days without fap i cant imagine that all you progress is gone if you fap one time. Sure a lil bit progress is gone but the most what is gone is the number before "days". I would be realy happy if i could do it just 1 time in 10 days. But i stuck at 3 - 5 days everytime. Just keep going for next streak and dont think you will start from zero just because the number do. If you can fight the urges for 20 days again and again its realy impressive und much better than many of ppl who dont count as addicted and fap every 4th day. Go on!
I was just commenting in another sub where the conversation turned to online scammers; and my conversation with a fellow user led me to some amusing thoughts.
I am atypical. I'm old-fashioned, in a sense: in part out of personal preference; and in part out of necessity imposed by my physical and mental disabilities. I prefer writing checks, for instance. When I had credit cards, I had trouble reining in my spending. Writing a check involves kinetic memory. It involves visual memory. And it involves recording the gist immediately so that my unreliable memory can't forget the transaction.
ATM transactions are memorable because they involve kinetic memory. I'm not likely to forget withdrawing cash at a touch screen machine. I always get a receipt in case I forget the amount.
I don't do online banking! I have a tremor condition, in which I occasionally hit a number 3 times which only appears once in an account number. I chose the customer service phone payment option until it stopped being available. My bills are now paid by phone with a trusted friend entering the digits for me.
I'm right there beside her, with the bill beside me, and the ledger in my lap.
I got a text, supposedly from my bank, yesterday, telling me that they blocked (?) online banking, and telling me I had to use the provided link to "resolve" it. I did nothing...other than muse: "Good. You should block anyone pretending to be me from online banking."
A few months ago, I got one of those texts (purportedly from UPS) informing me that a package couldn't be delivered, because there was nowhere safe to leave it. Exactly! I've had any number of packages develop legs and walk off, which is why (back when I actually had money to order things) I gave my cousins street address for delivery. So, even if I had ordered something (which I haven't), it wouldn't have come to my apartment anyway; and family members have items shipped to them, so they can bring them over.
Phishing exercise strike two.
I've had any number of texts from sexy sounding gmail accounts. From both men and women.
No dice. I'm asexual.
I even had the notorious African prince, once. Laughed at. Deleted.
I feel sorry for the people whose lifestyles let them fall for this. I'm proud that I perplex scammers!

A post with the Battle of lake Travis was deemed to be a repost even though it's a year later than the initial posting, so maybe it is a repost. Still I feel like the anniversary of it declares it as something worth investigating.
Maybe making a filter for the term anniversary and if it is in fact the anniversary of the initial post then give it a slide.
