I often put Today FM on in the house some mornings for some inoffensive background noise, but jesus I just can't stand Gift Grub.
How is it still going? It's the same passable impressions of Roy Keane, Bertie and Ronan Keating. I feel stuck in a timewarp from 2004 when my dad would have it on in the car and Mario would be doing the same voices. Found it hillarious back then, but it just has Zombie Simpsons vibes to it now.
Callan's Kicks is just so much sharper.

Teotihuacan was built on a geodetic grid system (a power center) in perfect sacred geometrical alignment with the cosmos to harness the energy of earth and sky. To understand it, we must go back to the original truth of the purpose. advanced design of Teotihuacan suggests that ancient builders had knowledge, not only of architecture, but of complex mathematical and astronomical sciences. The term 'Teohuacan' was found inscribed halfway across the globe on monuments in China, the term means 'place of the sun'(*our translation is 'Place to tie up the sun)Mercury, Hermes was the great Messenger, which also speaks for the planets quick trips around the sun. An aerial view shocked many researchers, but following the traditions we know what every pyramid was used for. Circuit Board-Teohuatican with two large processor chips— the Sun Pyramid and the Moon Pyramid. . One of the most interesting things about Teotihuacan is the finding by archaeologists of the extensive use of mica embedded in numerous structures. This mineral is found 3,000 miles away in Brazil and it is found in all buildings, housing complexes, temples and along the roads so basically this mineral is all over Teotihuacan.
The pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan contained considerable amounts of mica in layers up to 30 cm. Human use of mica dates back to prehistoric times. Mica was known to ancient Indian, Egyptian, Greek and Roman andChinese civilizations, as well as the Aztec civilization of the New World. The earliest use of mica has been found in cave paintings created during the Upper Paleolithic period (40,000 BC to 10,000 BC). The ancient civilizations & their inexplicable similarities are only shocking when one has disregarded our ancestors traditions as 'mythical ', which is a mistake made by academics only recently.
Mica is stable when exposed to electricity, light, moisture, and extreme temperatures. It has superior electrical properties as an insulator and as a dielectric, and can support an electrostatic field while dissipating minimal energy in the form of heat; it can be split very thin (0.025 to 0.125 millimeters or thinner) while maintaining its electrical properties, has a high dielectric breakdown, is thermally stable to 500 °C, and is resistant to corona discharge. Muscovite, the principal mica used by the electrical industry, is used in capacitors that are ideal for high frequency and radio frequency. Phlogopite mica remains stable at higher temperatures (to 900 °C) and is used in applications in which a combination of high-heat stability and electrical properties is required. Muscovite and phlogopite are used in sheet and ground forms.
The Maya Codex Vaticanus records faithfully the very ancient oral traditions of Central America. In one curious passage it states that “in the First Age, giants existed in that country(Mexico). "These 7 who escaped from a deluge , arrive in Cholula and there began to build a tower… in order that should a deluge come again he might escape to it.” Nahuatl language it’s named Tlachihualtepetl (‘artificial mountain’). Originally it was named Acholollan (‘water that falls in the place of flight’).
-Olmec(Xi)-had two different religious associations (gya-fa):the jaguar-man or humano-feline cult and the humano-bird cult. The humano-feline cult was called the nama-tigi by the Olmecs, while the humano-feline cult was called the kuno-tigi..Xoc Bas Birdman
The Teotihuacan(Tlalocan )mural depicts a range of mountains covered in rolling clouds and mists, below a brilliant red sky dominated by the huge figure of Tláloc, the Maya/Aztec god of celestial waters. Falling from Tláloc's open hands are flaming droplets of celestial water, likely representing the high-resonance isotope of protium, that overtly reference the ignition of celestial water vapor to form HHO plasma. The differentiation of celestial waters from terrestrial waters through the infrasonic evaporation of water vapor corresponds to special modern water purification processes involving the separation of resonant lightwater (protium) from dissonant heavy waters deuterium & tritium
The plumed headdress of Tláloc is comprised of radiating feathers of green and red hues, representing the colors of auroral plasma. Three arching red plumes stand out from the other green plumes of the headdress, extending from either side of the central figure and from the foreheads (pineal glands) of the two smaller figures in profile, representing the three frequencies of sound that generate nonlinear standing waves. Rising above the giant central figure of Tláloc is a majestic twisting Tree of Life image, composed of intertwining plumes of yellow/green and pink/red aerial HHO plasma that appear identical to modern photographs of the plasma discharges of red sprites.
Tláloc, God of Celestial Water, god of the vapor that rises, from the earth warmed by the sun after the rains, god of the mist that ascends from the valleys at dawn, god of the water that returns to its source in the clouds that swim over the highest peaks, god of the humid incense from which rise the copal prayers and the prayers of sacrifice
Tláloc is the return of vapor that strains to rise, is the return of time that strains to remember. Tláloc, God of the Fight Against the Current, with whose aid the hero battles against the torrent toward his own origin and beginning, towards the wings of his soul, the wings that Tláloc hides in the hero's past
The cycle of years is past - the waiting ended. Come - reunite, pilgrims, for the sky is in flames! From Xochicalco to Teotíhuacan the red spreads one step, another step, and another, only twelve short steps from the cave of the womb to the final conflagration
The red skies depicted in the Teotihuacan mural are also directly referenced in the Pyramid of Fire Codex, when it states that "the sky will be in flames" that will spread from one pyamid to another, as the worldwide netwrok of pyramids and sacred sites become activated to bath the area in the brilliant infrared and ultraviolet-A light of aerial HHO plasma plumes.ancient, unknown science designed to create energy directed up is excavating the tunnel.
-The geoposition of Teotihuacan pyramid complex (19.68°N 98.83°W), reveals a nonlinear (or Fibonacci-based) resonant alignment with respect to the Great Pyramid of Giza, being 7,684 miles away or 30.9% of the Earth's mean circumference (of 24,892 miles)..which is also observed in the Paracas petroglyphs.
The Sanskrit descendant cultures of Asia express the same essential interpretation given by the Maya culture of Central America; identifying the planet Mercury as ‘the fast runner’ that takes ‘quick flight’ around the sun, having a short orbital period of approximately 88 days. Among Nahuatl cultures, the art of running was crucial to the functioning of society, enabling the rapid conveyance of messages over long distance.
Mercury is the link (messenger) between the gods (higher principles) and humankind. In the ancient art of alchemy, such as in Hermeticism, Mercury, sulfur, and salt were the Earth's three principle substances that represent the trinity in creation. As sulphur is the symbol for the active principle, mercury is the symbol of the passive principle.The symbol of Mercury is the cosmic womb being incubated by the cross of the four elements of creation - earth, air, fire and water. Mercury is the messenger in Astrology as it is in mythology. It is the planet of day-to-day expression and communication. Mercury's action is to take things apart and put them back together again. It is an opportunistic planet, decidedly unemotional and curious. Mercury not only rules communication, it represents coordination. Thought processes, ideas, and sensory information from both unconscious and unconscious sources all need to be coordinated and understood.
Ive said before that the mercury was used to accomplish communication wth the Gods, The fluid metal element mercury was extolled as generating the luminosity of the blood of gods, for its threefold biophotonic extension of human longevity, whereby adepts of the alchemical arts were able to attain long lifespans. Mercury was closely associated with its extreme volatility, which must be carefully controlled to achieve positive results. Mercury was considered an ethereal element for its low boiling point of 357°C. When heated above this temperature, quicksilver will rapidly vaporize as toxic fumes inspiring an association with quick flight: ‘mercury has wings’.
A number of the Mesoamerican pyramids there are key components designed into their construction that act as magnifiers. These components appear to be important in the creation, magnification, and distribution of telluric fields.Pyramid & Scalar WavesEarly Irrigation of Teotihuacan
Provenance od Limestone used in Teotihuacan
Identification of Pyrite & Hematite
• Water, either moving naturally including rivers or cenotes (found at El Castillo at Chichen Itza) or by artificial canals or tunnels, similar to the Temple of Inscription found at Palenque.)
• Geo-magnetic fields. Naturally formed telluric fields that have high and low period throughout day and night.
• Pyramid design. The specific pyramid shape appears to greatly enhance the telluric fields that pulse up and into the center of the chamber.
• Pyramid interior fill. At a number of pyramids, rocks that are good electromagnetic conductors fill the interior of the pyramids and are used to enhance the pulsing field. Rocks that have veins with quartz, granite, and other electrical conducting properties appear to be favored. Characterization of lime carbonates in plasters from Teotihuacan, Mexico: preliminary results of cathodoluminescence and carbon isotope analyses
Dr Burke &Dr Brooker research determined that each location had been chosen because of its naturally occurring telluric energy field that pulsed up and into the structure or surrounding area. Also Burke and his research partner Kaj Halberg discovered electro-magnetic signatures that measured impressive charges on top of the pyramid. In a series of scans, the readings showed an average change of 908 volts over a short period of time, which was concentrated in the early morning hours. As ive stated in the past, this is the ideal time for sungazing. The pineal, contains magnetite & creates its own magnetic field. This was once a universal practice at Sacred sites, in 2009 until Nov 2012 The grand maya council held 52 full moon ritual of the new cycle where we visited sacred sites around the world and brought back these rituals. Burke mentions the readings and states, “These voltages might sound lethal and if it were a household current they could be. However, static electric charge in the air is a different type of electricity and even a thousand volts is not dangerous.” His discovery of pyramid field generation is fascinating, but what he actually uncovered was a means of generating and perhaps distributing electromagnetic energy within a pyramid complex. Which aligns with the term used for the ancient Egyptians, the Great PrNtr-house of Nature, or house of energy).
Stanford edu-Native American & Polynesian population The Genetic Evidence for 2 founding populations has constantly confirmed our traditions, the idea of independent invention is absolute nonsense. Theres an overwhelming amount of evidence, "believe" is a term unfamiliar to Dogon culture & ive yet to see the point in such a thing. If preconceived biases have clouded the minds of the majority, and they ignore evidence thats their fault. The age of the Fourth Sun, the Age of the Black Headed People (Aztec), or the Age of Heroes (Inca). This is the era in which Quetzalcoatl appeared in Mexico -- tall of stature, bright of countenance, bearded, and wearing a long tunic. His staff, shaped like a serpent, was painted black, white, and red [reminiscent of American Indians' mythology of three races of Man]. The staff was inlaid with precious stones and adorned with six stars.
-Between the 14th and 16th centuries during the Aztec era, Quetzalcoatl was worshipped as the patron of priests, the inventor of books and the calendar, as well as the protector of goldsmiths and other craftsmen..Shamanism, was invented in west Africa & brought to the Mesoamerican civilizations. The Aztec oral traditions say that Quetzalcoatl & his followers brought these beliefs ,and came from the East across the oceans. This is now corroborated by genetic, skeletal remains, artifacts, you name it. Quetzalcoatl was just a High Priest of Anu. The Gold tipped spears,or as Columbus calls it ' guanin 'to the Indians of Hispaniola. Samples of which sent back to Spain on a mail boat, and the proportion was found to be identical to what was being forged in African Guinea.
Moche Reed BoatThe Xi(Olmec) were a mix of a Polynesian/Oceanic elite aristocratic people accompanied by priests of the Orisha(Yoruba)/Mende(MalinkeBambara)responsible for introducing the religious practices and astronomical worship of the Mother Goddess complex (Venus, the Dogon Sirius observation and the Venus worship of the Olmecs, the use of the ax in the worship of Shango among he Yoruba of West Africa and the use of the ax in Olmec worship as well as the prominence of the thunder God later known as Tlalock among the Aztecs).It was R1b-V88(Yoruba) that were known as magicians to the Mayans & local Aymara over in Bolivia because of their knowledge of acoustics, which they have preserved from the Nile Valley (Anu colleges of Heliopolis).
Again, we see Toward the end of the Fourth Sun, wars between the gods were taking place. [The Battle of the Titans?] The gods' war brought havoc to the land; wild animals overran mankind, and Tollan was abandoned. The fourth Sun had begun 5,042 years before the time of the Codex Vaticano-Latino 3738 (1533). The time the Fourth Sun ended is not stated, but the Codex was written during the Fifth Sun. The Fourth Sun may have perished by means of the Jaguar. The Fifth Sun is referred to as the Age of Kings by the Incas.

I'm 24M who grew up in a fairly wealthy family for my country's economy, i have to admit i'm very immature, do to many things being solved for me, which im not proud to say.
I was holding a job that i didn't really like, the work enviroment at first was great but it slowly worsen, if you're curious to know i'll explain. I volunteered my house for a party and some of the attendees trash my house, i was suposed to cook some meat bbq style which is tradionally done on social gatherings in my home country.
However i was doing everything by myself, the rain came pooring down on me like the november rain music video and everything was ruined, i did my best and cooked the meat half drunk on a stove top and oven wich didn't turn out great.
Next day work's group chat everyone was upset at me because i didn't cook the meat on time. I asked for help multiple times ans nobody helped, i got insulted on a personal and profesional level.
I didn't think much of it until monday came and everyone was distant to me. I felt really isolated and uncomfortable and i decided to quit yesterday. The eviroment was getting to hard for me to handle, and i only took the job to save some money to move away to a new country in the first place.
I was suposed to be leaving in july 6, so it was basically just a couple of weeks. However i decided i needed a break from my coworkers and work.
To clarify i still live with my parents, wich to some of you in america might look really bad bud trust me, here down in south america is nothing but common, i was saving to move away like i said.
I woke up today and my parents where yelling at me very nasty things kinda reminded me of that twisted sister video where the father yells at his son. But it was not normal yelling, they were calling me very abusive names, and basically treating me like garbage, the nail on the coffin was when they called me a disgrace and a mistake. That how can i at my age not graduated from college already and achieve everything on life.
This really hurted me because i have very strong complexes do to me being adopted. They kept on telling me how much of a disgrace and shame i'm to family and how i make them look bad as parents. This is not the first time they've done this. They always use verh hurtful words or physical violence to prove a point. I know this might sound weird to you up north but it's very common and normal to beat up your kids in third world countries.
I grew up suffering from bullying, and being told by many teacher's im a failure and i'm going to hell, for my music, my haircut and my personality. I'd like to clarify im not a college dropout, i stop studying law school to pursuit and culinary carreer my parents where very supporting i really appreciated that however, they always make horrible comments about me not being a doctor like them or my other family members.
After 2 hours of being yelled at, my mom threatened to throw my drums away and kick me out of the house and stop supporting me in me moving away. And yes, im not ashamed of telling you all that my parents where supporting me on moving out of the country, it's never easy. Anyways they said they will no longer help me do to me being a quitter and a loser and disgrace and all of that.
So i just walk out of the house, with some of my stuff. I told them i will no longer need their money or help, that im not moving away and that i'll pick up my stuff next week.
I have no where to go, im literally wearing basically my pjs on a wendy's as i'm typing this. I know i sound very inmature but dealing with bullys and abusers all my life has taken a toll on me.
This is also a very tough decision for me do to having a long distance relationship of three years with a wonderful woman i met online. And we've been visiting each other for the past three years. I was very happy to finally close the distance, however that wont be posible for at least a couple of years from now, do to the recent events on my life.
I feel lost and i feel like i have nowhere to go.

Hello i just got my blood test back and my vitamin D levels are 184,3 nmol/l. Is it too much? I am 19, i am sitting in my house most of the time and i take 4000IU/day. Should i take less IU/day or is this good? Thanks for answers. My testosteron is 14.93 only so i thought i had low level of vitamin D and wanted to boost the dose to 5-10K IU/day, so i got my blood work, but it seems it's high enough already

Hello fellow old home enthusiasts!
I live in a part of a major metropolitan area where all the houses are large and built from 1910-1925.
Many beautiful homes and some really well done renovations.
One thing that has been throwing me for a complete loop are the house renovations that include this siding type. The houses no longer look like they are from 1915, they look like they belong in a modern cookie cutter upper middle class suburb.
I'm not entitled to tell anyone what to do with their house, but this siding complete transforms the home from a 100 year old beauty into something that belongs next to a modern high school and it drives me nuts.
Am I the only one that sees it this way? Am I too old and too ornery and need to shut up? What do folks think of this new trend?

I cry thinking about my mom. She's alive and well and I'm staying at her house over the holidays.
We cuddle and take naps together. The bond is unconditional.
I don't want to stop cuddling and taking naps with my mom. It will continue until I'm 50 and 60 and 70 and even after she dies I'll wait for the day I die and go look for her in the spiritual realm and continue cuddling and napping with her.
I don't feel like I come from anywhere else. My mom created me for some reason.

hi we had this rock at our house for a really long timw and im wondering if its worth cracking it open to see whats inside. we brought it back from greece a few yers ago and ifs pretty heave for its size. it has some tiny holes and marks and ive heard that it might be a sign of something being in there. Wdyt?

(TITLE TYPO SORRY)
My husband and I (late 30s married 12 years) both have busy professional jobs as well as a daughter and two dogs. Like everyone we are constantly juggling with housework and chores. Let me preface by saying yes it’s pretty balanced (thank GOD)
The idea of a housekeeper coming every week or so has been brought up multiple times just to save our sanity. The issue is that my husband doesn’t trust anyone to be in our house (not getting into why)
Many times he has suggested that his mom come in weekly and do our bathrooms floors etc. she’s retired.
I have multiple issues with that.

1. He doesnt want to pay her and she’s also offered to do it for free as a “gift” to us
   
2. But she’s not the greatest housekeeper. Her level of clean is not on par with mine and if I’m not paying her I can’t exactly complain
   
3. SHE HAS NO BOUNDARIES. This had been a major point of contention and arguments in the past because she’ll go through our things, organize/toss/buy shit without permission. She’s thrown out my daughters clothing before and also have literally put my lingerie (like.. legit sex outfits) in the dryer when he randomly decided to do our laundry (she has keys to our house)
   

So my parents are getting divorced (after 40 years!) they live in a different state and my dad is moving here to stay with my sister for a while and probably will buy an RV once they sell the house. He is also retired and since him and my mom are splitting he’ll be on a pretty fixed income.
He is like the most hyper clean person I know, was raised a Navy brat etc. Very organized/list based etc.
He would legit be the perfect person to deep clean our house, and I’d want to pay him like a house keeper to give him a bit of spending money.
WIBTA to bring this up considering my husband MIL and I have had multiple arguments about how I don’t want her to do it?

I am stressed after work sometimes. And sometimes I’m stressed in the morning. Anyways my door I like to keep closed. This does not stop my mother especially from opening it whenever she feels like it.
this morning she comes in saying some gossip about my brother. Fine. She doesn’t leave. She historically since I was a child used to do room inspections and makes me feel really shit about the way I keep my room (as an ADHDer. I like doing craft projects. Or I don’t mind keeping clean laundry piled on the bed for a day or two as I get through it slowly. Coincidentally I’m also packing for a trip so there’s minor messes) So basically when she’s in here. My heart and anxiety spike up.
She reminds me to “look nice” on our upcoming trip. I tell her when have I not looked nice on a trip. I always look nice on trips. It’s vacation. (This is true) she comments about how sometimes I leave the house without makeup — I say well that’s for work. This is for a trip. I’ll be fine I don’t need reminding.
She then starts to fiddle about my things. Stating an earring on my vanity she finds pretty but can’t find the match. This irritates me because I don’t want her in here. I want to relax and be without noise. I tell her it doesn’t matter if the earring isn’t there. It’s somewhere. It will likely pop up eventually. She proceeds to scold me about my tone. I ask her to not peel through my things.
I am 30. I understand I live in her house but I just need space and breathing time. I’m not always in the best mood and I need that quiet time uninterrupted to just exist and regulate myself. I understand I’m also prickly. But again. I need my space. Im stressed about 100 things right now. I just can’t deal with her criticisms on top of it.
I get scolded that I’m “malcreada” which means brat. And that’s the end of the scene.

Hi all, current police officer. I was recently accused by my police department for Neglect of Duty. This would result in a reprimand and no promotion for two years preventing quite a bit more money. I wont say the state to keep anonymity, it should deal more with the 4th amendment anyway. Here's what happened:
I responded to a 911 call. The call was a 911 call where the caller hung up/disconnected. It was assigned a "911 Hang-up" designation. I was advised there was a "disturbance" in the background. There is prior domestic history at this house. I knock on the door and a male and female answer, the male has a superficial wound on his head. The female is uninjured. Male is MASSIVE 6'8, 300 lbs muscular build, female is around 5'5. Both parties are calm and cooperative at the time, showing no signs of animosity towards police, or eachother. Male states he fell and hit his head. He wants to seek medical treatment at the hospital. Female states she was the caller and called because male had a medical issue (cut on head). Male starts to walk to the car to get a ride to the hospital. I ID the female based on the vehicle's plate. Female again states she was the caller and is going to drive male to the hospital for the head injury. Male refuses to be a complaining witness. He also refuses to ID himself. I am ok with not pushing this issue at the time because there is no victim, therefore no articulable crime based on both parties statements. Another officer arrives on scene, detains and ID's the male. Nobody is wanted. Male and female leave to go to the hospital without issue. Based on injuries the only possible "victim" of domestic assault (Shall make an arrest state) would be the large male with a head injury.
The back up officer then reported me for neglect of duty for "letting the male subject go," even though at no time did I ever say to either party they are free to go.
The male subject was the only injured party and has the right to not be a victim even if there had been a domestic assault and he was lying to me to prevent the female from being arrested. The only possible victim would have been the male.
I could not reasonably articulate pushing the detention of a male who is seeking medical treatment based on what I had at the time, which is why I didn't immediately detain parties on scene. The IA board stated I should have detained the male sooner and pushed him for ID instead of the other officer. End of the day there was no complaining witness, everyone on scene was identified, and no crime to be found.
Is there any case law or legal reasoning that would help support my reasoning for letting the male subject go?
I have a Lawyer for further grievance with the department. The lawyer doesn't come into play until they suspend me without pay which is why Im probing for info.

Hello my name is Olive (name changed) I'm 31/F from Australia. I am personal house keeper for a well respected doctor and her family and I work 5 days a week. I have been doing this job for about 4 months and always try my best to be kind, friendly, helpful and try my hardest at my job. I look after their dog whilst I'm there, plus house work, letting trades people etc in and continuously pick up and tidy up after her two sons 19 and 21. A few days ago at work while I was on the top level of the house, whilst changing the linens on the bed in the master bedroom I looked out the verandah to see 2 puppies who has escaped their yard and where running willy nilly around in a bushy area next to the river that backs onto the properties, one adult and one young puppy. I panicked as I was very scared they would slip into the river and drown. I ran down the two internal flights of stairs and down 3 more flights of stairs to get to the rivers edge (which is incredibly hard as I am not the smallest woman, quite challenged in the fitness department, with breathing problems, imagine if you will a plump potato with little legs that sounds like a snoring pug while running down three sets of steps made of lose pebbles and wood... not pretty) I hauled ass down there to find I needed to scale a fence and walk through the mud to get to this little pupper and you bet I got him, he was cold, muddy and miserable. I took my jumper off and wrapped him up and carried him back through the mud, over the fence and back up the stairs to the house. One of the boys youngest we will call him A 19/m happened to come outside as I walked into the courtyard head to toe in mud and carrying a shivering dog. Yes I can say he did assist me in getting towels and food for the pup and put a photo of him up in social media to help track down his owner. I had to sit in a jumper which I had to ask numerous for numerous times, that was three times to small and a towel so I could wash my clothes, I bathed, cuddled and comforted this scared lost little soul, until his Dad came to collect him. All within 1.5 hours of the rescue, which was an awesome win! His owner was absolutely frantic and so grateful that his baby was safe and sound, we came to learn he was only just 4 months old. Here's where I'm unsure what to do, after all the antics I finally washed and dried my clothes and got dressed, finished my jobs for the day and went home. After I left the fellow dropped by a lovely bottle of wine as a thank you gift which is so kind of him. However, I wasn't there so I did not recieve it, nor did either of the sons whome where the only people there at the time as my boss and her husband are out of the country, actually tell me anything about it. Although while at work today I did clean up while classes, and remnants of the left overs of the wine. I feel really really hurt that I wasn't even told about it nor was I given a gift that was destined for me. It is a personal choice that I don't drink alcohol, but I would have really enjoyed having a glass as a cheers to the little furry dude who plopped into my life for an hour or so. WIBTA if I messaged my boss to let her know her sons basically stole my thank you gift?? Thanks in advance (sorry it was so long winded)

Just for background: nmom, a narcissistic older brother and a loveable dad ❤️
Nmom's lover molested me when I was young like grade 6/primary 6 kind of age, and nmom found out about it when I turn 17 when I was sexually assaulted by my neighbour. I managed to forgive both the neighbour and my nmom's lover.
But never the nmom. I still remember what she said when she found out what her lover did. "Don't tell anyone about this, not even to the police; I'll handle it myself and ask him" Well of course the nmom lover denied it. And the nmom of course, kept In contact with him.
So my scenario was, I go home I get paranoia and fear of hearing nmom's lover voice and her talking thru Skype, and I leave the house and I still get paranoia and fear due to neighbour (neighbour received 6 months jail and was released)
I got sick and tired of everything when I turned 26 realising that no matter what I do, nmom will not change. So I moved out of my parents house. My beloved father was devastated. He didn't knew why I wanted to move out, and eventually I did told him and he said "I am sorry.. I am powerless." Oh my good lord my heart cracked.
Well 6 months passed after I moved out, and loveable dad was having a major surgery, I was by the waiting lounge and encountered nmom and she was all regretful, in so much that I nearly felt guilt until she started saying "What if I die at xxxx year?"
And I recalled this one subreddit who advised or at least what to say in those sort of scenario "And I can also die tomorrow, so what's your point?"
Loveable dad passed away early today due to the surgery taking a toll on his body. I am not that involved in the funeral no matter how much I want to be in.
The narc older brother is the one who's taking "in charge" for most of it. My family's has the traditional values of: son's will carry the family name, so of course they must be the one to decide.
Regardless, thank you subreddit. You guys actually helped with my mental fortitude of "yea, this nmom and narc older brother can't be helped." And to how to somewhat bite back at them. Thank you. I still intend to do no contact as soon as the funeral rites and wills are over. The 6 months of no contact were utter bliss for my mental health.
Rip beloved papa, I will never forget the day you taught me how to cook rice and omelette for myself.

Hey everyone I just wanted to place to lay out some thoughts i've been having.
Last year my wife gave birth to our second daughter. We had our first one in 2010 after only knowing each other for 2 months! I was a real loser at the time; worked at a minimum wage job, no college, sharing a studio apartment with a friend of mine (literally slept in the closet), no car, I biked and took the bus everywhere, doing a shit ton of drugs, and properly supporting my drinking habit/addiction. At the time I was doing a lot fo "soul searching" and when she told me she was gonna keep it, I made the decision to stick it out with her and see where it would take us. I found a better paying job, and started making arrangements to get back into school and pursue the dreams I had. I spent a lot of time away from my daughter, especially once I went back to school with crazy late nights. But the reality is I was terrified to be a father, I did anything I could to stay away from the home. Even after school and in my first job I had to "prove myself" a lot and "network" which meant long nights most of time, and more time away from the family. This is NOT to say I was never there, we made sure to do a lot of things as a family, especially when my daughter got out of the toddler age. So we have a lot of core memories and good times to share as well....
Cut to now where I have the career I've always wanted, a house, a car, pretty much reached what was once thought of as the middle class, so it's still a challenge to afford things sometimes. My wife got unexpectedly pregnant after 3 miscarriages and I was so scared, with a 12 year old now we had gotten used to a certain lifestyle, going out more, traveling more, freedom again, but my wife was so happy what could I do?
Well now our daughter is here and it has been wonderful! But it has hit me how much time I didn't spend with my now 12 year old when she was a baby, and it makes me sad. I grinned so hard to help provide a decent life, and ended up making a lot of the mistakes MY parents made with me. It feels nice to have a "second chance" to experience a lot of the things I didn't get to with my now 12 year old. It has help me foster a better relationship with her now as well.
Overall I just want to say to first time parents, take some time to really appreciate the infant stage. Let them get to know you through touch and feeling. Watch them learn to roll over, sit up, crawl. Try to make the time to enjoy these times because when it's gone it's gone forever.

Long story short I’m updating a fuck ugly house from the 80s and sanding, painting, refinishing, replacing pretty much every surface including the outlets.
I’m trying to decide between decora style or duplex style outlets. Note, the switches will still be traditional toggle style because I don’t like the rocker style.
I’m leaning towards decora for uniformity between the very visible GFCIs in the kitchen and the bathrooms, as well as I’ll be installing GFCIs wherever there are fish tanks too.
Any thoughts?

We had been dating a year and a half and he blindsided me with a breakup after just talking to me about moving in together and starting a family. We were broken up for a few months and I know during that time he was seeing someone else. He didn’t cheat on me. I confirmed that when I messaged the other girl and asked her when they met. I started talking to him again during the holidays after his sister invited me over for thanksgiving. At this point him and the other girl had broken up. When we got back together I told him that he needed to remove the other girl from social media and block her number and he didn’t hesitate to do it right in front of me. Since we’ve been back together things have been pretty good. We’re living together and looking in to buying a house. But periodically I still feel insecure about our relationship. I’ll check his social media to make sure he hasn’t added the other girl again, which i never used to check his socials before this. I also occasionally have dreams about him cheating on me or leaving me for the same girl. Last night was the most recent dream that happened and it became very violent. Sometimes I get flashbacks of me going through the breakup, like when i would be crying in my car or crying myself to sleep and it makes me feel sad again.
I just don’t understand why i still think about it when things are going well for us and we are getting more serious about our future together. Has anyone gone through this and how did you manage to let go of the past?

TLDR: My partner emotionally cheated on me, and blames me for why she cheated and continues to. She tells me the whole last year of our relationship has been terrible, even though for me it has been some of the happiest times of my life. We had so many happy moments, but she paints over them with black paint and never told me once during this past year how unhappy she has felt the whole time.. until all this started. Despite this, I love her and want to mend things so we can get back together, but how do I start building myself up and tell myself that what she did and is doing is wrong?
Long story short, my partner started to resent me after a decision we made together that she seemed perfectly accepting of. Once she started to resent me, she started to look for someone else to fill the hole I was leaving, so she started emotionally cheating on me. She didn't tell me that she started to have second thoughts, so there was no way for me to know that this was all happening. She confessed to the emotional cheating one evening and vowed to put up boundaries, but those boundaries fell just days later. I didn't know this, especially after she texted me telling me she wanted a break to focus on herself and what she needs out of me to heal the relationship. During this break, without me knowing, they started hanging out alone at her apartment, grocery shopping together, climbing together, and going to parks alone at night together. I found this out one night and confronted her, so I went and saw her and we talked. She vowes they haven't done anything physical, and that she doesn't want a relationship with him. She told me she felt bad for hurting me, and that she needed another week of break.
I gave her that, and during that week she hung out with this guy the whole time. She then tells me that she doesn't want to be with me anymore, so I come to her house again to get closure. That weekend, we talk a lot, and she wants another two-week break which I am in right now. She tells me that the entire past year of our relationship has been terrible, even though she showed no signs that she was unhappy, nor communicated to me that she was. It feels like everything I did for her, all the happy times we had, all the memories we shared, are just non-existent now, and that everything was the worst. And that she blames me and my negligence towards us and the relationship for why she emotionally cheats on me, that I couldn't do enough so she finds happiness in someone else while dragging me along. She tells me she cares about him and likes him, but also loves me and cares about me, but that my lack of putting her first, making her a priority, led her to do this.
She cheated on me, she could be cheating on me now, she could have physically cheated. She blames me, she reduces my self-worth and self-confidence to nothing. I sit here, hoping every day that she isn't seeing this guy until I can see her next Friday. She told me she wasn't going to and that she would really try this time. Still, despite everything, I feel like I can't start moving on, I can't be mindful and work on myself, I can't hate her, I only love her right now and want to mend things.
I just feel sorry for her, this has been a pattern for her in the past, and it seems like no matter what I do, no matter how hard I try to be there for her and show her that I care, she just doesn't. I know that this behavior is due to her BPD, and that she is just really mentally exhausted from her feelings towards us, and its easier to go see and talk with this guy because there's no baggage there. I feel sorry for her because she knows and has told me that what she is doing is wrong, she feels bad for hurting me, but can't stop talking to this guy. She tells me that if I did to her what she did to me, she would leave me and never talk to me again.
Despite everything, I just want to help her. Find therapy, talk to a professional, and work on things together so that this doesn't happen again because I love her. But I know she has to choose all of those things.

So I‘m currently playing my first Ottoman empire game since the last update and I think they added a lot of cool and interesting events.
However when I encountered the event where you get Suleiman the Magnificent, I realized that he forms a new dynasty, in my game it was Karamanoglu. I think that‘s really stupid, especially for the Ottoman Empire since during it‘s entire lifetime only one dynasty ever ruled it, the house of Osman…
So why did they feel the need to asign him a new whacky dyasty I hate that… is there any mod or something that fixes this or do I have to edit every save in every game from now on because I want Suleiman but I also want my dynasty…
