2023.06.04 05:34 Training-Coconut-377 How can I find an online accountability partner for diet?

I could use help - I’m looking for an accountability partner for diet purposes. I know exactly the diet I want to eat, and I know I enjoy being on this diet, but weekends totally derail me. In a dream world, I’d like an accountability coach to check in with me Friday and Saturday mornings to keep my head in the game. Any ideas on how to find someone like this? I’m willing to pay for a service of some kind but I don’t need anyone to give me fitness plans and recipes etc.

2023.06.04 05:34 Humble-Grape4516 Finally!

Finally!
Finally got my XLT hybrid! Picked up today at Chapman Ford NE Philadelphia. Originally ordered November 2021, reordered 9/17/22. Built 5/5/23 😃 and not subject to the latest recall. Apart from the long wait I couldn’t be happier! The communication along the way with Ed was great, he was on top and very responsive. Finalized the purchase with Charles and again- exceptional service, I was in and out in less than one hour. It was car buying at its best, no buts, ifs or surprises. Everything as promised and a great deal. No hassle no bs. When I arrived, Charles handed me the keys and pointed me to a pretty big open area of the parking lot with the words “ Here, go have some fun while I finish what I am working on and then we’ll get you going “ I can’t recommend these guys enough, in this time of all kinds of horror stories I hear about dealers I was nervous that something will go wrong or there will be some catch but no, under invoice pricing as promised and no bs fees or ADM, amazing experience. Drove the truck back home and have to say that it is everything I hoped it would be.

2023.06.04 05:34 sleepymarketingsales Cereva cream for moisturization

User: Hi there! I've been hearing a lot about CeraVe cream lately. Have you tried it? What can you tell me about it?
Salesblog: Hello! Yes, CeraVe cream is a popular skincare product known for its moisturizing properties. It's often recommended by dermatologists and widely used by people of all skin types. The cream contains a combination of ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and emollients, which work together to help restore and maintain the skin's natural protective barrier.
User: That sounds promising! What exactly do ceramides and hyaluronic acid do for the skin?
Salesblog: Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids that play a vital role in the skin's barrier function. They help lock in moisture and protect the skin from external irritants. When the skin lacks ceramides, it can become dry, sensitive, and prone to various skin issues. By incorporating ceramides into its formula, CeraVe cream helps replenish and reinforce the skin's barrier, promoting hydration and overall skin health.
Hyaluronic acid, on the other hand, is a humectant known for its ability to attract and retain moisture. It can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, making it a highly effective ingredient for hydration. By including hyaluronic acid in its formulation, CeraVe cream helps increase the skin's moisture content, resulting in smoother and plumper-looking skin.
User: That's really helpful information! Is CeraVe cream suitable for all skin types?
Salesblog: Yes, CeraVe cream is generally considered suitable for all skin types, including dry, oily, combination, and sensitive skin. Its non-comedogenic formula means it won't clog pores, making it less likely to cause breakouts. The cream is also fragrance-free, which can be beneficial for those with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies. However, it's always a good idea to do a patch test on a small area of your skin before applying it all over your face or body, especially if you have any specific sensitivities or allergies.
User: That's good to know! Is there a specific way to use CeraVe cream?
Salesblog: Yes, the general recommendation for using CeraVe cream is to apply it liberally and gently massage it into the skin. It can be used on both the face and body. Many people find it effective to use CeraVe cream after cleansing and toning, as part of their daily skincare routine. It can be used in the morning and/or evening, depending on your preference and skin's needs. Remember, consistency is key when it comes to skincare, so incorporating it into your routine regularly may yield the best results.
User: Thank you so much for the information! I'm excited to give CeraVe cream a try and see how it works for my skin.
Salesblog: You're welcome! I hope CeraVe cream works well for you. Remember, everyone's skin is unique, so results may vary. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Good luck with your skincare journey!
User: Thank you so much for the information! I'm excited to give CeraVe cream a try and see how it works for my skin. I've struggled with dry patches and occasional breakouts, so I'm hopeful that this cream can help improve my skin's hydration and overall texture. Are there any specific tips or recommendations you have for maximizing the benefits of CeraVe cream?
Salesblog: Absolutely! Here are a few tips to help you maximize the benefits of CeraVe cream:
  1. Cleanse and tone: Before applying the cream, make sure your skin is clean and free of any dirt or impurities. Cleansing your face and using a toner can help create a clean canvas for the cream to be absorbed effectively.
  2. Apply on damp skin: For enhanced hydration, consider applying CeraVe cream on slightly damp skin. This can help lock in moisture and ensure better absorption of the product.
  3. Target dry areas: If you have specific areas of your face or body that are particularly dry, you can concentrate the application of the cream on those areas. This can help provide extra moisture and nourishment where it's needed most.
  4. Don't forget your neck and body: While CeraVe cream is often associated with facial skincare, don't hesitate to use it on your neck and other areas of your body that may need moisturizing. It can be particularly beneficial for dry elbows, knees, and hands.
  5. Layer with other products: If you have a more extensive skincare routine, CeraVe cream can be used in conjunction with other products. You can apply it after serums or treatments and seal everything in with a moisturizer. Just make sure to allow each product to fully absorb before layering the next.
  6. Sunscreen during the day: If you use CeraVe cream in the morning, it's important to follow it up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
Remember, consistency is key when it comes to skincare. Give the cream some time to work its magic, and don't be discouraged if you don't see immediate results. It's also essential to listen to your skin and adjust your routine as needed. If you experience any irritation or discomfort, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
User: Thank you so much for the information and tips! I'm ready to give CeraVe cream a try. Where can I purchase it?
Salesblog: You can easily purchase CeraVe cream from various retailers, both online and in physical stores. One convenient option is to buy it from Amazon. Amazon offers a wide range of skincare products, including CeraVe cream, and provides a seamless shopping experience. Simply visit the Amazon website or use their mobile app, search for CeraVe cream, and you'll find different sizes and variations of the product available for purchase.
When buying from Amazon, it's always a good idea to check the product details, customer reviews, and ratings to ensure you're making an informed decision. You can also take advantage of features like Amazon Prime for fast and free shipping, as well as additional discounts and promotions that may be available.
Once you've selected the CeraVe cream that suits your needs, you can proceed to the checkout process on Amazon, enter your shipping and payment information, and place your order. Amazon provides reliable and efficient delivery services, so you can expect to receive your CeraVe cream at your doorstep in a timely manner.
Remember, it's important to verify the authenticity of the seller and ensure that you're purchasing from a reputable source. Reading customer reviews and checking for the "Fulfilled by Amazon" label can help ensure a positive buying experience.

2023.06.04 05:33 drnorajane Feeling an increasing urge to socially transition.

I’m getting close to wanting to fully come out. As I grow near to that time and closer to starting HRT, I’m feeling this increasing urge to just start living my life. I’ve told most of the people I want to tell personally. The rest are definitely coming soon. With each step I take forward, I’m finding myself loosening up and really feeling my femininity. I dressed up and for the first time, I felt cute. I didn’t have on any makeup, just a dress with a hoodie on it and my wig. I’ve gotten to know a couple of the girls in the community and I find myself wanting to reach out to them about all this. They’re super nice and I think they could teach me a lot. Hopefully soon on that front.
I’m still feeling days of doubt. I’ve found that it’s tied to my stress and anxiety. I’ve had some stuff happen recently that’s non-trans related that took up a lot of my mental and emotional energy and during that week, I just felt numb inside. No attachment to my female gender, but also not to my AGAB. Just kind of blah. That, of course, made me worry about my future with this. I dwelled on my gender, always wanting it not to be just some brief dalliance into being trans. Afraid that it was all a phase. It’s answered so much about me and I hated the idea that I could be on a path back to that awful way of living I had endured for much of my teenage and adult life. So much self-hate and shame. So much loneliness. My only source of solace was “cis gendered males don’t think about this. They don’t want to be trans.”
The other source of my pain right now is my parents reaction to me coming out as trans. I did it through a letter. Didn’t want to endure what I knew would be a pretty terrible set of knee-jerk reactions from them. They sent a letter back that upset me. I replied very pointedly. They backed down a bit and sent me some very reasonable questions to think about before they find the strength to talk to me in person about this. It’s been emotionally exhausting, but I’ve found that after an initial few days of questioning myself, I felt this growing certainty in my path. I’ve been more resolved and at peace with my trans identity in the past few days than this far on my journey.
It’s all making me want to socially transition soon, especially with pride coming up. I’m thinking about marching in the parade fully presenting female. I just want to be in this world as I really am. I want this wonderful woman who has sat on the sidelines for so long to take control. My boy self did some good stuff for me, but it’s time for him to hand the reins over.

2023.06.04 05:33 BobbyMakey101 girl is spreading rumors that i got a crush on her (i don’t)

i litterally stare at the teacher when the teacher is talking, The creepy girl sits right by teacher but my eyes aren’t even pointed at her. The creepy girl is only in my peripheral vision. The teacher once said to someone to stop drawing, The creep turns around and acts as if she catched me staring at her .
She just smiled and turned back around then she turned back and stared at me again with a confused face like bro you realize there’s a fucking teacher next to you right? The next day she did class work with a friend and i had no idea she was behind my desk. I was walking to desk and saw her death staring at me with her head down. After that she was in my peripheral vision again and i just ignored and continued staring at the teacher She just stood still and stopped talking when speaking to her friend. Idk what her face was doing she’s werid. She would stay still and stare back at me multiple times when i stared anywhere near her direction I can’t fucking look anywhere without her thinking that i’m staring at her. I can’t look to the left to the class or she’ll think i’m staring at her I legit had to look at the board once when she was there and she assumed i was staring at her so she switched seats The day after that during lunch she decided to get infront of me with her boyfriend and i just tried my best not to stare at her direction. She told her boyfriend and the whole class that i have a “crush” on her . And once she told me to cry multiple times and said “aww he is sad “ but i’m not sure she was talking to me since i didn’t look at her
I didn’t even bother to reply plus i got socialanixty which makes things harder for me. Anywhere i look she thinks i’m staring at her and now i think her friends think this too I can’t even do a small glance and i can’t even look around cuz if i stare at them for a second on accident they automatically think i’m checking them out like how tf am i suppose to know that you’re there without me seeing you like i legit looked behind me once and saw that girl and she thought i was checking her out like bro how was i suppose to know you’re there. I’m beyond tired of it . She told her boyfriend too. I just try to keep distance honestly but she legit doesn’t keep distance away from me She even once sat behind me again and i remember she would glance at me sometimes but it was likely cuz she was checking if i was staring at her. I remember her face got red once just bc i stared at her direction too. She’s werid I remember she would keep looking back at me to check if i was staring at her and her friend would say”omg stop looking at him”. She also now just looks back at me without completely turning her head it’s fucking werid. She sometimes tried to act like i was staring at her when i was staring at something else in her direction She’s got actual problems idk what to do

2023.06.04 05:32 Commercial-Habit8889 Fantasy book(s?), dragon dresses as a woman

I’m looking for a book or series of books that I read in the 2000’s. It was fantasy, there was a wizard and other magical creatures. I think the wizard lived in a really big tree or neaaround one. At one point there was a female dragon that the protagonists were searching for, and finally found her. She was human-sized and dressed in female clothes, living with gypsy-type people. She had a dark veil over her face so that people couldn’t identify her. The protagonist was a male, he was trying to encourage the female dragon to leave the gypsy folk and shed her disguise… unfortunately that’s all I can remember!! It’s driving me nuts. Thanks in advance for any help 🤞🏻

2023.06.04 05:31 Budfrompsych Heating/light elements

So, I plan on getting my first bp here in the near future and I’m just finding so much information about heating and light elements that all together feel very overwhelming to me. Is it really important to have a dimming thermostat if I’m using heat lamps? Are heat lamps the best way to go? What about deep heat projectors? Is there anything that is looked at as the “normal” way for heating? I know there are plenty of lists and general information out there, but when I look at it as a whole, it makes me paranoid that I’m going to make a mistake and not give the snake a comfortable habitat. Any advice is welcomed and appreciated.

2023.06.04 05:31 32iA4vqYux I feel DEPRESSED and SUICIDAL over my borderline intellectual functioning/retardation

I basically failed high school. I was only able to pass with the extensive use of remedial classes, which were watered-down beyond measure in comparison to the normal high school classes. These were the most basic, run-of-the-mill, standard high school classes, and yet despite my best efforts, I found myself failing over and over. Instead of being placed properly in special-ed services, my school district decided instead that I would fare better in society as someone who can't pass classes or hold a job. Instead of being given the proper accomodations I deserved (on account of my intellectual disability), I was essentially left to fend for myself in spite of my glaring cognitive deficits. I would understand this move if we lived in a society completely debased from morals and ethics, but it appears that we don't, as other schools seem to always have special-ed services, and recipients of such services are usually treated with compassion and empathy.
Post high school, I've held a few jobs, which range from office jobs to working in restaurants. And in each job, I performed horribly, leading me to quit right before I was fired.
There persists an erroneous assumption that someone with my level of disability would be unable to articulate themselves with any degree of intelligibility. I assure you that this is not the case, and that I wrote this myself.

2023.06.04 05:30 PunkrockPopeye Beat Em'!

Beat Em'!
"Beat Em'!"
Sometime among the events of the very first Kinder Cosmic...
The director of the United States Space Force marches back and forth before a gathered group of several hardened space marines all standing at attention within a large training room as he addresses the group with a general Patton like speech.
USSF Director: Ladies and gentlemen...We are at the precipice of the dawn of a new age!
*The group murmurs amongst one another curiously.
USSF Director: Time and time again threats from opposing galaxies, dimensions, and outer worlds; some beyond the very realm of human comprehension have descended upon our little blue marble suspended in space and threatened our quality of life, our society, our safety, our sovereignty and our very existence!
*Several members of the group shudder and gasp as the director continues his sermon.
USSF Director: If the citizens of this United States, no...The very world itself are to maintain our status qu-
*The group diverts their attention behind the director towards the sound of a loud, laborious sigh.
*The director shoots a disapproving glare at the alien grey known as Alpha as he continues to speak.
USSF Director: As of late, the only force standing between the citizens of this planet and total annihilation has been...
The lady astronaut and appointed liaison to the greys; one Luna Valentina gently pushes the little grey alien known as Jorg towards the middle of the room as she whispers in his earholes.
Luna: ...Go ahead, Jorg!
*Dressed in a bright red silk dress and miniskirt with a purple bandanna tied tightly around the crown of his head; Jorg stares at the hem of his dress with either side clasped tightly within his hands as he swings his hips from side to side and hums happily as the dress flutters back and forth.
The USSF Director sighs apathetically as he continues to speak, pointing at the little grey now standing beside him.
USSF Director: W-What...
*The Director shields his mouth and whispers to Alpha and Luna as Jorg continues swaying unmoved and unbothered.
USSF Director: What th-....What is this?
*Luna laughs and smiles as she replies patiently.
Luna: The only way I could get him to cooperate is if I let him wear his dress!
*The Director stares at Jorg still humming and fluttering from side to side and then Alpha confusedly.
Alpha: He thinks it makes him stronger...
*Luna giggles as she follows Alpha’s words.
Luna: He...he doesn't understand how feminism works!
*The Director stares at the flamboyant grey and then Alpha once more.
*Alpha throws his hands up as he replies.
Alpha: Who the hell am I to tell him otherwise? As far as I know it probably does!
*The USSF Director sighs frustratedly as he quips.
USSF Director: Jesus fucking Christ...Can he fight wearing it?
*Alpha smirks mischievously as he speaks.
Alpha: ...Jorg? Jorg can fight in anything, anywhere, at anytime!
USSF Director: Fine...Well I guess we'll conti-
*Suddenly the Director is interrupted by a massive, muscled and imposing Sergeant who addresses the group obnoxiously.
Sergeant: Why is that little alien wearing a fuckin' miniskirt!?
Luna snaps defensively.
Luna: HE'S IN TOUCH WITH HIS FEMININE SIDE!
*A private nearby mutters knowingly.
Private: Well, I heard that lil' shit is completely unhinged!
*The group of hardened space marines murmur amongst one another as Luna plants her hands on her hips and speaks once more.
Luna: NO HE ISN’T! HE SAVED YOUR IGNORANT ASSES!
*The Sergeant points at the preoccupied grey as he speaks once again.
Sergeant: That scrawny, 80 lbs, ugly ass little critter? Saved what? Ru Paul's drag race?
*The private glares at the Sergeant standing beside him confusedly as he continues to speak.
Private: Where the hell have you been man!? You didn't hear about what happened in Tulsa?
*The Sergeant cuts a sidelong glance at the private as he continues to speak.
Sargeant: Stationed abroad... No phones, or internet, or TV, or electricity, or running water...not even a fuckin working toilet! So no...I don't know "what happened in Tulsa".
Private: ...Oh. Well I HEARD he leveled half a city fighting some interstellar Lovecraftian planet killer...
USSF Director: OFFICIALLY THAT WAS A LEVEL 4 EARTHQUAKE!
Private: SURE BOSS! whatever y'all say, it's not like it hasn't been cycling all over Tiktok for months...
USSF Director: RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA! A DIVERSIONARY TACTIC TO UNDERMINE UNITED ST-
*Alpha sighs again loudly.
*As the group continues to bicker incessantly the USSF Commander from "Kinder Cosmic: Paradise Lost" strolls into the training room and smiles with a large grin as he leans against a supply depots consignment widow and addresses it's quartermaster casually.
Commander: Has it started yet!?
QuarterMaster: ....Has what started yet?
*The Commander grins mischievously as he continues to speak.
Commander: Say...Are you a bettin' man?
Quarter Master: On what exactly?
Commander: Costello over there of course!
*The Quarter Master stares at the grey still preoccupied with his pretty dress and then the Commander once again.
Quarter Master: That sick lookin, effeminate little space midget against ALL OF THEM!?
*The Commander smiles knowingly.
Commander: You bet your ass!
*The QuarterMaster doubles a glance back and forth between the grey and the Commander as he speaks.
QuarterMaster: How drunk are you?
Commander: VERY!
QuarterMaster: How much do you wanna put down on him?
*The Commander reaches into his pocket then slams several stacks of money upon the window's table as he speaks.
Commander: My ENTIRE goddamned pension!
*The Quarter Master stares at the little grey smiling as he swings in his pretty red dress and then the hardened military veterans and finally, the grinning Commander once more.
Quarter Master: You're on!
*The USSF Director silences the gathered, bickering and murmuring group as he interjects.
USSF Director: QUIET!
*The group of military commandos quickly stand at attention as the USSF Director commences pacing and continues his addressment once again while Luna smiles knowingly and Alpha shakes his head from side to side...also knowingly.
USSF Director: THE POINT IS! That we're facing a potential threat that is completely out of human understanding, the very laws of physics itself and our current martial capabilities!
*The USSF Director points at the greys; Alpha’s arms folded as he stands like a solemn statue and Jorg still hyperfocused as he busily plays with his red dress.
USSF Director: Although they ARE friendl-
*Alpha’s face sours distastefully as he hisses underbreath.
Alpha: Pshhh...
*The Director darts a sharp glare at Alpha who returns it with a twisted, smug expression and then at Luna who shrugs her shoulders casually.
USSF Director: ....Although they ARE NOT THE ENEMY we can not let the future of humanity...
*The Director stares at Jorg who is still absolutely lost within his own world as he continues to speak.
USSF Director: ...Rest upon the strapless shoulder blades of one four and a half foot; morally and mentally compromised little...whatever in the hell this thing is.
*The Director points towards Jorg as he flutters and sways repeatedly.
*Luna retorts defensively as Alpha comments sarcastically.
Luna: HEY!
Alpha: Well...I mean, he's right. Man's still kinda a misguided idiot but when he's right he's right!
*The Director glares at Alpha once more as his subordinates murmur and contemplate his directive aloud amongst one another.
Private: We are so, so, so completely and utterly screwed...
*The Sergeant standing besides the private shrugs apathetically as he speaks.
Sergeant: I don't see what the big deal is...
*The director marches to and fro once again as he continues to speak.
USSF Director: That being said! The ONLY WAY to adjust our combat to this new enemy is simulated combat WITH THE ENEMY!
Private: I'M NOT FIGHTING THOSE THINGS!
*Alpha smiles slyly and quips sarcastically as The Director retorts with a commanding tone.
Alpha: ....Sissy!
USSF Director: Oh yes you will private! Unless of course you want... AN EXTRA WORK DETAIL!
Private: GOD-DAMNIT!
*The Director grins as he continues to speak.
USSF Director: Besides! You'll only be facing a single extraterrestrial opponent today, Alpha has adamantly refused to participate in this exercise...
*Alpha retorts sharply.
Alpha: I said, "You can go fuck yourself", that's what I said.
*Luna erupts with a riotous laughter as the USSF Director glares at Alpha in return.
*The Sergeant points towards Jorg still playing with his fluttering dress.
Sergeant: And lil' Miss Doubtfire over here? HE'S supposed to be our opponent!?
*Luna beams with pride as she retorts.
Luna: I wouldn't underestimate Jorg! He's wildly talented!
Sergeant: At what!? Martha Stewart style homesteading?
*The group snickers as Luna giggles and returns a mischievous grin and then quips once more.
Luna: THAT TOO!
*Alpha clarifies casually as the group murmurs and looks on at the little grey still lost amongst the surrounding atmosphere.
Alpha: Consent for Jorg is kind of a non-issue, he's barely aware of where he is half the time. When goaded he does have a certain instinctive enthusiasm for martial combat under the right conditions. I don't even know where he learned it, he just came back one day and knew it innately. Like a telekinetic amalgamation of something between Ong-Bak and Jet Li...
*The Private stares at the little grey in suspended disbelief.
Private: Under...what conditions?
*Alpha grins knowingly; as he responds.
Alpha: Basically...You've got to manage to piss him off.
Private: "Piss him off?"
*The Sergeant cracks his knuckles as he smiles belligerently.
Sergeant: Well this should be easy!
*Alpha shrugs unknowingly.
Alpha: Maybe...Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't! To evoke this reaction from Jorg or to "Piss him off"; it is like this ingrained psychological trigger. It isn't so much guided as a form of premeditated anger as a kind of pro-active defense mechanism. He's not even really fully aware when he does it. I think it may be a kind of "Fight or Flight" reaction he just does. Except Jorg...well...Jorg pretty much always chooses to fight.
*The privates eyes widen curiously as he stares the little grey up and down before him.
Private: Is he...is he dangerous!?
*The USSF Commander laughs heartily as he slams his hand upon the provisional warehouse window and retorts excitedly.
USSF Commander: YOU CAN BET YOUR ASS HE IS!
*The QuarterMaster glares at the USSF Commander as he chimes in.
QuarterMaster: I wanna replace my bet!
*The USSF Commander replies snarkily.
USSF Commander: TOO LATE ASSHOLE!
*Alpha, Luna, The Director and the group of soldiers all divert their attention towards the Commander and QuarterMaster until Alpha continues speaking.
Alpha: Jorg!? Dangerous? I mean...IF YOU DESERVE IT then I dunno...
*Alpha shrugs apathetically.
Alpha: ...Maybe? I really doubt he'd actively kill anyone though.
*The private throws his hands into the air and addresses Alpha frustratedly as the group murmurs amongst themselves once more.
Private: THE FUCK YOU MEAN "MAYBE" AND YOU "DOUBT HE'LL KILL ANYONE"!?
*Alpha shrugs once more...
Alpha: It's Jorg...Jorg is Jorg! You'll see...
*The private stares at the two greys one after another then retorts underbreath as he turns to walk away.
Private: I'm so not fuckin doing this...
USSF Director: MORE WORK DETAIL!
Private: GODDAMNIT!
Sergeant: Well I think they're full of shit...
Private: THEY TORE APART AN ENTIRE MILITARY BASE "JUST BECAUSE".
Sergeant: Of Non-combatant "week-long warriors" I bet! Might as well be a buncha national guardsmen...I mean...JUST LOOK AT HIM!
*The Sergeant points towards Jorg still swaying giddily.
Sergeant: ...There's no way in hell that little queer fella could take a seasoned soldier!
*Luna retorts defensively.
Luna: JORG ISN’T GAY! HE'S JUST SENSITIVE AND HE'S VERY SPECIAL!
*Luna cuts her gaze towards Alpha seeking confirmation.
Luna: He isn't...is he?
*Alpha shrugs unknowingly and apathetically as the group murmurs amongst themselves once more.
*The Private suddenly turns then approaches a series of lockers and containment bins stowing riot gear, defensive equipment and padded suits much like one that would be used to disarm a bomb or train a K-9 attack dog as nearly all of his peers follow suit...
Private: I'm not fucking with this lil dude without my PPE!
*The Sergeant snorts obnoxiously in response as he watches.
Sergeant: I don't need that crap...Besides, it's hard to move or fight with all that bullshit on! Whatchu gonna do? Bumper car bang him to death with it?
*The Private shrugs undisturbed.
Private: ....Whatever!
The crowd gathers all around the little grey warily; some armed with things like MMA gloves, hand-wraps, Batons and extended martial defense metallic rods as they all approach the grey from all angles.
Suspicious and cautious at exactly what the little grey might do and exactly how he might respond.
That is all but one, the boisterous military Sergeant who readies himself and then throws the very first strike at the seemingly defenseless and unsuspecting Jorg.
Without ever even lifting his eyes from the hem of his dress, in a matter of moments warping the surrounding spectators very perception of time; Jorg shifts his head slightly towards the left as the Sergeant's fist narrowly misses the grey by a hair's length.
*The USSF Commander slams his hand upon the provisional warehouses window once more as he retorts giddily.
USSF Commander: HAH!
What happens next can best be described through the conveyance of a matter of collective very short-lived and somewhat difficulty perceived moments.
The next soldier and the next and the next and the next; all of them simultaneously rush towards the little grey slinging their fists and their weapons towards the inattentive and unbothered little grey.
Jorg bobs, weaves, and feints his big grey bandanna wrapped head not unlike a hyperactive, super-powered Muhammad Ali; as fist and all flies from every perceivable angle, not ever touching him...not even once, his attention still diverted towards his fluttering dress all the while.
Another military combatant rushes forewords and thrusts a kick towards the grey; to which he spins out of reach with seamless grace as yet another kick comes flying from it's opposing direction to which the grey quickly ducks then loops his body around from underneath...still playing with the hem of his pretty red dress still humming to himself gleefully as Luna erupts with laughter.
Sergeant: What...what the hell IS THIS!?
Luna: I TOLD YOU!
Private: He....He never even LOOKED at us...NOT ONCE!
*The Director stares at Luna and Alpha then questions them curiously.
USSF Director: Why isn't he defending himself?
Alpha: ...Probably because Jorg doesn't see any of you as a threat.
*The boisterous military Sergeant walks towards Jorg then plants a single finger upon his forehead then slowly pushes him backwards; to which Jorg sways back then forwards then rests in the exact same position of which he'd originally been.
Sergeant: What do you mean he doesn't see us as a threat?
*Alpha responds casually.
Alpha: I mean exactly what I said! Jorg only reacts when driven towards it from an outside stimulus; when he himself, someone he cares about, or perhaps even others are under certain conditions of diress such as a threat or pressure or the friction of oncoming conflict. It is very difficult to tell exactly when this trigger will set off from an outside perspective but FOR JORG these lines are ingrained within his very being. It's like a reflex, he doesn't even have to think about it.
Private: How is it he can move so quickly like that? I could barely even see him doing it!
Alpha: Part of it is because Jorg instinctively compounds his telekinesis with Kinetic energy. The other is because he's clairvoyant, prophetic even. This doesn't just apply to the precepts of time or it's passage through the universe itself but also to an outside stimulus. But just like almost all things concerning Jorg; he isn't fully aware of what he's doing and what he does it its all interdependent on outside stimulus and outside perception and interpretation. In short, Jorg is like a living mirror in everything he does and reasons for doing them. A reflection of one's self whether they even realize it or not. He could punch through a two inch steel wall or bulletproof plate glass window faster than you could blink if he wanted to...
*Alpha shrugs casually.
Alpha: ...Only problem is it takes alot for Jorg to actively feel inclined to do so. Well...sometimes. All that being said apparently he sees absolutely none of you as an inclination for him to act...and so...he doesn't. He doesn't see any of you as a threat!
*The Sergeant fumes angrily and frustratedly as he stares at the preoccupied little alien frustratedly and then speaks angrily.
Sergeant: WHADDYA MEAN "HE DOESN'T SEE ME AS A THREAT"!? I'M A GODDAMNED NAVY SEAL! I DID TWO TOURS IN AZKABAN!
*Alpha replies to the Sergeant flatly and unflinching.
Alpha: Exactly what I just said...Your limited human capabilities and physicality to Jorg is a non-issue. You're not big enough, strong enough, forceful enough or physically capable through your own recognizance of being a perceivable threat to him.
*The Sergeant stands from the opposing side of the playful grey in the little red dress then angrily unbuttons and unholsters his service weapon as he holds it in both hands, pointed towards the ground.
*The USSF Commander laughs a riotous laugh as he spectates from the warehouse window some distance away then pounds the desk upon it once more as he goads the Sergeant playfully.
USSF Commander: YOU GET EM HOSS!
*The Commander quickly turns towards it's QuarterMaster then whispers as he winks towards his glare.
USSF Commander: ....Fucking idjit!
*Luna’s eyes widen with worry as she begins to speak.
Luna: I WOULDN'T DO TH-
*Alpha calmly places a gentle hand upon Luna’s shoulder as he knowingly interjects solemnly yet very mischievously.
Alpha: Nah....Let em'.
The Sergeant steadies his firearm upon the grey methodically as all of his compatriots watch onwards nervously.
And what happens next, again...Can best be explained by a breakdown of a series of events that through our perception of time unfolded within a matter of moments.
...But to Jorg himself? Well, that's another matter entirely.
Just like one perceptive light switch suddenly being flicked on from deep, deep, deep within Jorg’s psyche. The little grey suddenly raises his head; his black, saucer shaped eyes widened with a perfectly aligned subconscious awareness. One of them twitching erratically above a maddened grin as above and all throughout this training room; the loud deafening roar of electric guitar reverberates one ear-splitting and most deafening melody.
Loudly cutting through the awkward silence not unlike a high-powered circular saw this melody is that of the song "Beat It" the cover of an infamous Michael Jackson tune preformed by the band "Fall Out Boy".
https://youtu.be/Qt54wA7Z2LY
And as this guitar melody drones and roars throughout the intercom and sirens of the facility all around; As Alpha smirks smugly and Luna laughs...and then gasps. What follows suit could be quite accurately articulated as a series of movements so perceivably fast, powerful, and deadly accurate that one could quite convincingly say that Jorg DID move faster than a human could blink.
He quickly utilizes his telekinetic energy with one hand to jerk the firearm out from within the Sergeant's grasp not unlike a vaulted football ripped from between a running back's fingers. And as this pistol flies and spins towards Jorg he launches himself into the air, quickly preforming a spinning back kick that smacks against the gun sending it ricocheting and flipping once more until it hurtles directly dead center of the Sergeant's face sending him spiraling and sprawled out upon the ground nearby while the gun itself deflects, is thrown against a nearby wall and then misfires.
Space Marine: SHIT...MY LEG!
And as the lyrics of the song echo and vibrates all throughout this training room, quaking its walls and cushioned floormats with every progressing spoken word; the frightened private quickly turns to sprint in the other direction, absolutely ANY direction away from Jorg.
But little did he know; it was far, far, far too late...
Jorg harnesses his telekinetic energy to rip the man's legs out from beneath him, as he does Jorg quickly sprints forward, leaps into the air again like a telekinetic grasshopper then dead drops his knee into the private's back.
As Jorg "ground and pounds" the back of the privates combat protective headgear repeatedly in rapid succession; not unlike quick repeating Wing-Chun punches into the back of the man's head, striking and bouncing his forehead off of the training floor's cushioned material all to the rhythm of this melody. The surrounding marines look around at one another, murmuring in a stunned confusion as the private cries for help.
Private: G-G-GET I-
*WHACK! *BANG! *POW! *WHOMP! *THUMP-THUMP-THUMP!
Private: GET IT OFFA ME!
*The USSF Director points at the private then addresses the fearful combatants sternly.
USSF Director: ...WELL!? HELP HIM!
*One of the remaining combatants turns to kick Jorg off of the private when the grey quickly stops then pivots as if in anticipation of said strike; catches the man's ankle then smiles with a malevolent grin before twisting it with a loud *CRACK!
*Luna squints her eyes closed and winces painfully as Alpha grins a grin very much reflective of Jorg’s and they both comment.
Luna: Oooooooh!
Alpha: Fuck em'...
Elsewhere at the provisional warehouse window the USSF Commander slams his hand down upon the table once more as he also comments; smiling at the QuarterMaster with a shit eating grin all the while.
USSF Commander: That looked like it HURT LIKE HELL! GET EM' HOSS!
*The QuarterMaster also comments, sneering distastefully.
QuarterMaster: I fuckin' hate you...
Elsewhere amongst the whirlwind of rapid, successful strikes and all to a melody; Jorg now stands his miniskirt fluttering in training room's AC cooled air along with the motion of his movements with the Marine's now broken ankle held between the palms of his hands; the man still wailing with pain.
In an amount of time accumulating to less than the passage of a few seconds; the grey spins and leg sweeps the other man's remaining limb, tossing him upwards into the air before kicking him in the abdomen with a telekinetically reinforced strike that sends the man hurtling into and bouncing off of the nearest wall.
As another approaching soldier moves in to strike Jorg the grey quickly hops a foot into the air once more; then quickly plants a deflective side kick in rapid, fluid succession into the center of the man's chest which sends him staggering back just a few paces.
*The soldier hardens himself as he pounds his chest then closes in on Jorg once more.
Space Marine: IS THAT ALL YOU GOT!?
And as this melody continues to pound with a thunderous roar all throughout the training room; Jorg smiles a sadistic smile.
While the man races forwards to preform a takedown upon the little grey, Jorg quickly and acrobatically dips his head and upper abdomen towards the ground. With a certain level of martial flexibility mirroring that of a Shaolin Monk the grey lifts the pad of his foot from behind towards where his head originally was, arching it upwards and from behind his backside with his torso now angled downwards, he then slams the bottom of his foot into the Marine's forehead; stunning him instantaneously.
Jorg quickly rights his equilibrium and with a fluid, unceasing movement uses that very same leg to plant a telekinetically charged front kick into the man's sternum; sending him flying backwards and crashing into yet another padded wall.
Space Marine: YOU CRAZY LITTLE SHIT!
A remaining marine shouts at Jorg and then races towards him from a flanked position sending his own angled "axe kick" towards the grey's abdomen.
And as this melody pounds and reverberates the ether all around from every perceivable direction; without so much as a moments hesitation, forethought, or consideration Jorg side steps then archs his own leg around the own man's "Axe Kick" locking it into place.
*The Marine's eyes meet the grey's; whose deep, darkened saucer shaped eyes are deadlocked onto his own. Shining with a glossy, detached madness as the grey's smile widens. And with their legs locked in place, Jorg intentionally restricts the man's movement; the Marine's remaining free leg trembles as he utters words of fear and astonishment.
Space Marine: Oh....SHI-
*Before the man can even get the words out the grey hops into the air with his remaining leg with the other still locked in place, then uses his free leg to dropkick the soldier dead center of his chest with another telekinetically reinforced strike before quickly releasing his leglock to send the man vaulting into another padded wall not unlike a human bullet.
And as this resounding melody finally tolls onwards towards it's completion; the little grey still stands in the middle of this training room. In the exact spot in which he'd originally began; surrounded by moaning, bloody, blackened and bruised human cadavers.
Who at this point are each and all very, very much alive; though perhaps their pride...not so much.
*Luna shakes her head from side to side as the USSF Director speaks.
USSF Director: Well...we're never doing that again!
*Alpha stares at the director and smiles with an air of apathy.
Alpha: I could have told you but you'd never have listened...
*The private spits a mouthful of blood onto the ground as he slowly gathers his strength to try to lift himself from it, next to the still unconscious Sergeant lying face down on the floormat beside him.
Private: We are so...so...so fucked.
*At the provisional warehouse window the QuarterMaster counts out the last of his debt and then slams it upon the table towards the USSF Commander's outstretched smile now grinning from ear to ear.
USSF Commander: It was nice doin' business with you!
QuarterMaster: Shut the hell up...

2023.06.04 05:30 spyder-baby Unexpected family death pt 2 plus long rant about my mom making contact due to death

https://www.reddit.com/EstrangedAdultKids/comments/13xnm4d/unexpected_death_in_the_family/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
This is what I posted the other day about my cousin passing. Turns out it was drugs (coke), and I'm even more shocked than before. He never was a drug user and it's very confusing! Why now?? His wife is also very pregnant with their first child, absolutely heartbreaking, although I do not know her very well as he relocated. Now I hear that they are only going to have a memorial service after cremation and no funeral. I don't speak to my Aunt (his mother) as she has wronged me several times, but I genuinely feel like I should send her my condolences in a message, but how do I do that? What do I say? Is it appropriate to show up at memorial and leave? Idk!?!?! I feel like my presence will be dismissed by most as so much other stuff to process for everyone. On top of that my sister who has the same familial estrangement as me asked me to go with her. I'm conflicted.
Second, my mom has contacted my older sister (i probably have her blocked) and said "I think this is a wake up call for all of us, life is so short". Reasons for NC for parents and my mom's family are very different btw. My fear is that she is using this as a meal ticket to forgive and forget. Mind you she was given an ultimatum for contact and that is to seek therapy, for both my parents actually. I shit you not she has NO one left in her life except my father (who is undiagnosed bipolar 1 because he refuses to believe it), her horrible twisted mother and my youngest sister who they've brainwashed. She has alienated everyone friends and family on both sides yet everyone else is the problem? Fyi she also speaks to no one on her side of the family, except her mother (ugh), for good reason (they have some weird culty matriarchal bullshit lifestyle where first born daughter of each generation are treated like royalty and everyone else gets shit. Aunt is the oldest btw. Her daughter and grandaughter are now treated like queen bees, fucking weird). Several of my father's family members have cut ties with them as well after eventually finding out what really happened in our household and his blatant disrespect toward them for no reason. If she really means it she will accept therapy which she desperately needs, but I hardly believe that it's going to happen. But if she does pull that forgive and forget stuff, im done forever. That's the crap her mother instilled in her after her pedophile older brother abused the younger kids and my grandmother brainwashed her to believe it didn't happen. Legit threatened her and her younger sister if theyvtold anyone. I used to feel bad, but she put me in so many awful situations i had to put it to an end. Everything to her is bad things are going to happene again, and there's nothing we can do about it. Um yes actually, don't let history repeat like she does over and over. She is literally conditioned to take abuse and defend her abusers. It's not as if I've never tried to reconcile, probably gave my parents way more chances than most. A couple years ago was my final straw when I told her my dad was cheating and for a moment she had charity. She said sorry for everything, and it was the most human I'd ever seen her act. Then a couple weeks later she took back all her apologies and said that I was just bullying him and that I was in the wrong. This was after they attended a religious counseling session btw. And then she told me to erase all incriminating evidence I had toward the affair or else. Wtf bitch! Then she proceeded to tell him that I was the spy (after I explicitly told her not to due to fear) and not what she originally told him which was that she hired a PI. After that he threatened me and said he was going to sue me. I also found a penned letter by him to a formar fling saying that he resents his whole life with wife and kids and told her that as well. She STILL defended him. My poor older siblings also had similar burns from her. Back to today, why can't she get it's not about the past I'm worried about, it's how she'll be in the future! I think with this I'm going to let my sister (who she initially contacted) to dip her toes in the water first and see what her true intentions are.
That's not even beginning to cover all the shit that's happened.

I Messaged the researcher because none of my HITS are available, cannot get the sandbox crap off of my Amazon mturk and I don't even know what the hell it is...anyways i Messaged the researcher and his response is quite alarming...first i said this: I just returned your study and I'm not sure but I need some guidance I don't know how to get the sandbox off of my mturk acct.. I cannot access anything on my regular mturk account step for $33 hits and extremely higher paying studies. How do I get the sandbox stuff off of my mturk acct??? And then he says to me this when he writes me back finally: "sorry for the inconvenience. yes, you don't need to use your real name to create the mturk account I guess. But it's ok you returned the task". ....HUH???? I didn't say anything about my name I said how do I get the hell off of my account!! )....SO I REPLIED: I don't even know what it is I don't wanna jeopardize my MTURK account . THIS is your study and you cannot tell me how to remove it from my MTURK account.???? ..... HE SAYS THIS IN RESPONSE: I also have no idea on it, I am a new requestor and I just started to use crowdscouring platfrom since this Friday. I don't know what can I do for you. Hope you good luck with your other studies. and also good night... WTH??? Oh there's a lot more but I figure if anybody is still reading this and their head has either spun around like mine or Elvis has left the building lol

2023.06.04 05:29 TorchicLover Where did the withered animatronics from FNAF 2 come from?

I don't know much about the lore but I do know that fnaf 2 came before fnaf 1 chronologically and the withered animatronics were redesigned by Afton to make the animatronics in fnaf 1. What I don't understand is where the withered animatronics came from, were they just there? or were they used in an old Freddy Fazbears pizzeria and were put into parts and services in fnaf 2? Please do let me know.

2023.06.04 05:28 ntc0220 If you have bad reactions or are unable to take antivirals

After nearly 8 years of being on Valtrex, I suddenly cannot take it anymore. My muscles start to twitch and now I feel extremely ill off of it with a host of other terrible side effects to the point I cannot function. I used to take it and not feel a thing. I had to stop and kept getting monthly outbreaks a week before my periods. Looking for something natural that wont really give me any side effects, I heard about Monolaurin. You guys, I think this has been a God send. I could NOT get violently sick from herpes (which I was getting flu like symptoms from the last two monthly cycles) a week before my period this time bc I was going to an event. I tried taking small portions of monolaurin as soon as the pain in the muscles around my vulva started and tingling. Legit within HOURS it went away.. My stomach hurt real bad from the monolaurin but I can deal w that over flu like symptoms from valtrex or herpes. Herpes tried to come on 3 more times over the course of the week (stopped taking monolaurin a day or two bc the belly symptoms and it would try to come on again) and same thing, it stopped the pain and the outbreak dead in its tracks every time I'd take it. If you cannot take valtrex, guys this is the next best thing. It works nearly as good in stopping an outbreak for me. I even had some swelling sneak up on my last blister spot and it went away within hours of taking the supplement. Just can idea only for those who CANNOT take the antiviral due to severe side effects. I recommend valtrex first if you can handle it.
