I grew up in the exurbs of western Louisiana. Our small town was deeply religious, and this coupled with the crime wave of the 1980s meant that my childhood was spent largely cooped up inside. The first lick at freedom I got was Halloween night, 1987. I was thirteen, and was allowed out until midnight with a group of my closest friends. What really sold my mother on the idea was Patrick. Patrick was the seventeen year old brother of my best friend, Marv. Despite being feared by anyone younger than him, he was a good student and a good Christian and all the adults he knew would fawn over him. Against his own will, he'd be accompanying our little group for the night. It was in the Mar...

It's not exactly the most well kept secret of mine that I happen to have an.. *appreciation* for dark skinned women, especially if they're well muscled. Or tall. Or have a bit of fat to them. Or.. any descriptor, really, but especially the tall aspect. I've attempted to just be subtle with this before, but it usually wound up not getting the entire point across; so why not go big and go home? Below my ramblings will be a smattering of shorter mini-prompts, just examples of ideas that are buzzing about my tiny little mind in the waking hours when I'm stuck at work or filling in my assignments. I'm perfectly willing and able to discuss any of these at length, of course...

The official name was The Future Work Initiative. But for anyone with a fully functioning brain cell, it was murder. I remember practising times tables when the door to our classroom flew open, and in walked the sheriff with a wide smile. He had some *super, fun, exciting news for us!* So exciting that he used three adjectives. "Children!” The Sheriff greeted us with a wide smile. He had a PowerPoint presentation he wanted to show us. The title was punchy, on a bright green background. **THE FUTURE WORK INITIATIVE**. His assistant, a smartly dressed woman, clicked a button, leading us to the first slide, an enlarged photo of the map of America. The sheriff immediate...

My health had continued to deteriorate the whole trip home, and in truth, I hadn't even made it all of the way there. I was hungry again and had pulled in to the parking lot of a diner, and after eating my fill, had passed out behind the wheel. Probably from the nearly constant coughing that I had been doing that day. Lack of oxygen to the brain can cause that sort of thing. I woke up in a hospital bed with a nurse hovering over me, taking notes as she squinted at the monitor of the machines hooked up to me. “What's going on?” I croaked, the effort of speaking making it feel as if my vocal cords were being shredded. “You should try to rest. The doctor can explain once we ge...

Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/s/UKfBisdpwc Thanks for all the advice in my last post. I truly appreciate it. I agree with what some had said that I should've just spoken up at the time. I messed up, I just froze and I guess stupidly thought it would all magically go away. I've considered a lot of the comments and their suggestions. So my MIL's necklace is a quite a handful on its own, adding that to my grandma's necklace would leave no breathing room for my neck, it would take away from my bridal dress. But the most important suggestion was the one I'd been avoiding which was to talk to her directly. I stopped by her place yesterday after d...

I love the family photo but my daughter turned away and covered the horse's nose. Could someone: 1. remove daughter from photo 1 and add daughter from photo 2 so we can see her face/dress, perhaps she could stand next to dad and baby? 2. fix horse's nose so we can see the horse face/nose in full like how it is displayed in photo 2 3. remove slight shine/drool from under baby's lowerlip 4. clean up the stray sweaty strands of hair on the left side of mom's face, make her hair look more well kept and less sweaty 5. remove slight orange tone from mom's hair (cancel out with cool tones so hair looks like a dark dirty blonde) All 5 fixes for one family photo for a $20ca...

First, thank you for all the recommendations I got from this thread. This year was, amicably, the best and easiest year for my gift shopping, as I no longer went to shopping districts and had to bear the long lines. Thank you also for recommending that I go straight to the source and not on Amazon to avoid frustrations with after-sales customer service or other added instructions (for custom or personalized gifts).  So, as my thank you and hoping this is not too late (well, some here are also good for year-long gifts), here’s my actual list and purchases that I bought for my family and friends. Please note that the prices mentioned were mostly promo prices (Nov-December purchases). I am ...

first, a little about me. i'm a 22 year old woman in the pacific northwest. despite being born elsewhere, i've lived here for as long as i can remember, since it's where my maternal family is. i've never met a single member of my paternal side besides my dad. growing up, life was always unpredictable day to day. my mom was addicted to meth, was in and out of jail, went to prison twice, we lived with her parents since they were elderly. i don't remember my dad at all from when i was a tot obviously, the earliest i remember meeting him was when i was around four to five. he didn't live with us but he was addicted to drugs too, homeless, also in and out of jail, w...

Hi everyone! Happy Holidays!! ❤️ I'd like to ask a huge favor, to see if it's possible this Christmas Miracle. The holidays are approaching, and I can't get my girlfriend any kind of gift. She's a wonderful person who's been there for me through thick and thin, supporting and helping me through this difficult time I've been going through for a while now, and I think she deserves more than anyone to receive something she'll truly love. Both of us have been Batman Beyond fans since childhood. She started playing Fortnite in October and loves the game, and when she saw this bundle in the game's store, she went crazy with hype (screaming and jumping,...

TL;DR >!170!<Raids :) Let me know your minimum raids for Kappa! This was more of a challenge to myself, but I am curious to see/hear others experiences around the subject. After 1.0 dropped, I decided to wipe my PvE, simultaneously playing between PvP and PvE. I did all my PvP raids during the evenings and weekends with my friends, but after everyone went to bed for the night, I'd grind out PvE alone. I did this Kappa playthrough all solo, including having to buy/find all needed quest keys etc. Last wipe, I finished Kappa in 308 or 309 raids, and wanted to see how low I could get. I had a few unfortunate runs of dying to bosses, and a very unfortunate MIA around raid ...

Now that 2026 is almost here, I'm curious to see what everyone's favorite shows from this have been. I watch around 50 new shows a year which I know is quite less than some other people here, but it's about the most I can handle while still remembering them week by week. These are mine below 10. **Wind Breaker S2** (Originally came for the fights but stayed for the wholesome bro moments. I love tsunderes, so Sakura is right up my alley and the new side cast was fun. Overall, preferred the action from S1, but the non-action scenes in S2) 9. **Secrets of the Silent Witch** (Isabelle is the best character. No further comment) 8. **Watanare** (The best looking yuri romance in ...

This winter, I’ve fallen in love with wearing my snowpants. Yes, I’m a full grown adult in a city/suburb, and nobody else wears them at all. So obviously I can only assume my opinion is unpopular. I know they’re bulky and swishy and look kind of silly in lots of places (I think I get the most stares in banks and grocery stores for some reason lol). But I don’t care! They are a pain to take off and on.. But so what, I will happily wear them all day long, cozy and warm, and take off my coat as usual when needed. I keep them hanging in my closet over my heat vent. So after I get dressed, I put them right on and it’s immediately a big warm blanket I can wear and is wind/waterproof. ...

Went outside for the first time in a few week and like a braindead ****** thought I could pity pass in jeans, a sweater, purse, and makeup, 0/3 pity passes. I am ****** ***** for ever thinking anything less than a dress or a skirt will ever get me gendered correct. Guess it's time to be an AGP and only wear skirts and dress so I atleast get treated like a hon instead of man. Even though that won't work either since I'll still be to manly for cissoids to even consider me being ******. One person wouldn't even stand close to me, guess she thought being a deformed freak was contagious.

Secret of Bloodbending and Redirect Lightning both feel pretty memey, likely the first cuts. Guess the 1-drop cadets and platypus bear aren’t useful given the context. Not sure then if that’s too many Octopus Forms, given the creatures worth protecting. Worth it to cut more creatures though?

im going to speak about my experience only, but I want it to be made aware that all of my siblings have experienced some sort of sexual trauma under her supervision or by her. When I was about 2, I had a visit with my birth mom. currently I was living with my maternal grand parents who I was soon adopted by due to legally being abandoned by my birth mom at age 5. Shortly after this visit at 2 years I began to stare off and dissociate and pee myself and the issues continued until my older age, I was just getting a grip on potty training. I also stopped talking, and when I did I had a stutter. The night of the visit I sat up all night in my bed and stared off, my grandma sat with me and I con...

Well, need a present idea for an absolutely Lovely lady that hangs outside of our pub. She often helps us with drunk aggressive people. She has a good way of making people feel guilty and leave. We adore her. She is clean but very harsh looking lady. No drugs use, been clean for months but struggling with drinking, drinking till feels warm enough to walk around the area not to fall asleep and freeze. Most days stay in hostels sometimes rough sleeping if didn't get enough cash. We give her cash occasionally but she usually never asks. She is dressed pretty good, warm clean jacket, large bag with her stuff, clean jeans, boots in good state, but yes, missing most teeth due to past drug us...

In my last healing update I was quite nauseous. Based on prior days I thought by evening it would be better and it did get better, in fact I started smiling blissfully for about 6-7 hours as there is such profound momentum to my head. I deducted that this rising energy was important and it was most reasonable to focus on keeping it going and that I should avoid sending it to the ground. It made a lot of quick work through my foot and ankle and also some on the right side, there were many waves of increasing warmth that spread up into my body and helped greatly reduce the aching psychosomatic pain. Other noteworthy moments had to do with how energy would release upwards, both negative and the...

**Are you ready?** Because if you keep reading from here, you’re basically risking your own experience. If this turns out to be correct, then yeah… it kind of gives the whole thing away. Everything I’m about to say is grounded in what’s already canon, plus my own interpretation of how those canon pieces connect. If there are gaps where the story hasn’t explained the how or the why yet, I’m not filling them with headcanon. I’m working strictly with what exists, not with what I wish existed. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ First, we need to agree on a few fundamentals. Genshin Impact does not exist in isolati...

This story is about life and death, it isn’t about mizly ,Eileen, kadaka or the others.It is my story and it is also my story. We'll figure it out when we get there, is what i kept telling myself.Hello, my name’s Arthur, i’ve always possessed what i consider to be a, sometimes much to my discomfort, boundless imagination.My mind constantly runs wild with all kinds of ideas, a process over which I have no control.But recently,1) I had a weird experience. I was in my home, doing some laundry and after blinking, suddenly, I was in a pure white room, or you could say that it was more of a void akin to what you could see in the game “just more doors”, all around me where , well , ...
