2023.06.09 23:05 sunmora-republic Sunmoran Election #4: Green Party Presidential Primary [Round 2]
| Michael Walcott came second with 32% of the vote but he was confident that a majority of John Newberry's 23% of the vote would come to him, especially since Newberry had endorsed him soon after the results of the initial round were announced. To many moderates within the party, he was a shining beacon for hope. In order to entice Newberry voters, he echoed his calls for new nuclear development, an increase in hydroelectricity production, and to make a comprehensive deal with municipal governments to implement the electrification of public transit. He warned Green Party members away from Ketu, calling her "a member of the same old establishment that had been slowly declining for the past twelve years" and said "if you want to vote for complacency, vote for Ketu". Walcott was skeptical of Ketu's promises to intervene in the market with the introduction of cooperative and vertical farming. He had no issue with either in theory though. He supported the latter especially, but didn't want to get the government involved other than gently nudging private enterprise in that direction. Valerie Ketu commanded a strong lead in the first round with 45% of the vote. She remained very confident since it wouldn't take that much of the vote to push her into the lead. She had become the main voice for the progressives within the party and she knew it. Many within the Green Party were concerned about Walcott making the party too "liberal" and she was just as worried as they were, especially since Walcott himself had used the term "green liberal" to describe his own political views. Ketu made herself contrast even more with Walcott's policies, giving a more skeptical stance on the high prioritization of nuclear power as Newberry and him made parts of their platforms. Instead, the had advocated for increased use of geothermal and wind power, citing that geothermal was almost twice more efficient than nuclear and wind power was four times more efficient. Ketu also harshly criticized Walcott's Cap and Trade proposal, stating that it "doesn't do enough to punish corporations for already damaging the environment as much as they have with their large carbon footprint. Instead, she promoted the use of a carbon tax with the introduction of new price gouging laws specific to fuel in order to ensure prices stay reasonable. https://preview.redd.it/60bi4acjjt4b1.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=cb9e3d9c97630bf7e0d62069759b8df363d1cef3 View Poll submitted by sunmora-republic to imaginaryelections [link] [comments] |
2023.06.09 23:04 soggyanimalcracker First time pregnant and it’s putting a halt on life plans we had. What should we do?
Boyfriend and I are both 21, living with parents, ok jobs with great benefits but we only make a combined 4k a month.
We had received a moving incentive package thru our work to move to another state for 3 years in November this year. $30k incentive, all moving expenses paid, compensation for travel/food/etc. AND first month rent or opening/closing costs on a house covered. It was gonna be a NICE startup for us as young adults without much under our belts. BUT I just found out I’m pregnant. 4-6 weeks if I had to make a guess. And if we decide to keep the baby, we can’t make the move. It’ll be too much stress for me, and we will be alone. 8+ hrs away from both of our families. So there’s the ultimatum. Half of me wants to take the responsibility for our actions and keep the baby, but the other half of me is screaming “not ready!” and it’s the exact same conflict for my boyfriend. I had to force him to sit down and hash out what we’re going to do. Because he just wants to support me either way, he doesn’t feel he has room for an opinion. I spoke to 2 family members, 2 friends, and 2 coworkers for advice so far. And have basically received an equal vote. 3 saying they’re excited/happy for us and that we’ll figure it out and be great parents. And 3 saying we should really consider abortion as we aren’t in the financial position to provide for a child, have other things we need to work on and sort out before having a child, plus we’d lose the once in a lifetime opportunity and an easy $30k.
What route would you take??
TLDR; Bf and I (21) accidentally got pregnant. Had plans to move states but if we keep the baby, we can’t move. We don’t know if we’re ready for this responsibility.

2023.06.09 23:04 JoshAsdvgi The Scabby One Lights the Sky
| The Scabby One Lights the Sky [Toltec] This thousand-year-old myth comes from Central rather than North America, but it is included here as a touching counterpoint to the tales of sun worship from noth of the Rio Grande. Nanutzin, a Toltec Prometheus, offers his own life to bring light into the world, underscoring the tradition of sacrifice, especially self-sacrifice and self-torture, which figures in the worship of the sun in some Indian cultures even in North America. Five worlds and five suns were created one after the other. There were the suns of earth, fire, air, water and rock. The first world was destroyed because it's people acted wrongfully They were devourded by ocelots, and their sun also died. The second sun, the pure orb, saw his human beings changed into monkeys for the lack of wisdom. Next came the sun of fire, whose world was destroyed by flames, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions because the people living in it were impious and did not sacrifice to the gods. The fourth world perished in a great flood whcih also drowned it's sun. Before the dawn of the fifth, our present world, all the gods assembled in darkness to decide who should have the honor--and a dangerous honor it turned out to be--to light up the fifth world, and with it the fifth sun. One god named Tecciztecatl volunteered, thinking to get much praise from the other gods. After days of purification, the gods built a huge fire on the top of a pyramid adn told Tecciztecatl: "Light up the world!" "How?" asked Tecciztecatl, dressed in irridescent hummingbird feathers and jewels of gold and turquoise. "By jumping into the fire, O Tecciztecatl," said the gods. But Tecciztecatl was afraid, he didn't want to be burned up. Four times he tried to immolate himself, and four times th heat, the flames and his fear drove him back. Then the lowliest of all gods, Nanautzin, dressed in humble garments of woven reeds, misshapen, ugly, and covered with scabs, offered to renew the world and light up the sun by jumping into the fire. None of the gods had paid him the slightest attention before, but now they all cried with one voice: "O, Scabby One, be thou he who brings back the Sun!" Without a moment's hesitation Nanautzin hurled himself into the flames, burning up with a great crackling sound, his blazing garments of reeds lighting up the sky. And ashamed of his cowardice, Tecciztecatl followed his example and was cremated also. At once the sun rose to light up the new fifth world, and it was the despised Scabby One, brave Nanautzin, who by his death had given life to the sun. submitted by JoshAsdvgi to Native_Stories [link] [comments] |
2023.06.09 23:04 Joadzilla Russia claims it blew up advanced Ukrainian tank, but video shows its helicopter attacked a tractor
https://apnews.com/article/ukraine-russia-tank-leopard-blew-up-tractor-2824d17105d3cfb875a5306acd2c9089
WASHINGTON (AP) — A grainy black-and-white gunsight video Russia released this week to bolster a claim its military blew up some of Ukraine’s most fearsome tanks actually documented the destruction of a tractor, according to a visual analysis by The Associated Press.
The Russian Embassy in Washington announced Monday on Twitter its forces had “annihilated” eight German-made Leopard tanks, among the most advanced and powerful weapons NATO countries have provided to Ukraine. The Russian Ministry of Defense then posted a video Tuesday on the social media network Telegram with text saying it showed “footage of the destruction of foreign armored vehicles, including Leopard tanks.”
The video was shown extensively by Russian state-controlled broadcasters and news sites, which said it was recorded from the thermal imaging system of a KA-52 Alligator attack helicopter. Several black silhouettes of vehicles can be seen, before the helicopter launches a guided missile that strikes one, causing it to explode. “Direct hit!” says a voice on the recording, speaking in Russian.
Germany announced earlier this year it would provide 18 Leopard 2 main battle tanks to Ukraine, which hopes to receive around 100 donated by various NATO countries over next year. The Leopard 2 is one of the most maneuverable and heavily armored battle tanks in the world, featuring a 120mm gun capable of slicing through Russia’s Soviet-era tanks from more than 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) away, according to its manufacturer, Krauss-Maffei Wegmann.
Ukrainian officials declined to comment this week on whether any of their Leopard tanks have been used in battle.
Almost immediately after the Russian video spread online, multiple weapons experts and military bloggers began casting doubt on social media that the helicopter’s missile struck a tank, much less a Leopard.
The visual analysis by the AP shows that the vehicles seen in the video, which was recorded at night, appear to be large pieces of stationary farm machinery parked in a field, specifically a self-propelled sprayer and two combines used to harvest corn and wheat.
The vehicle struck by the Russian missile has four large wheels and sits high off the ground. Leopard 2 tanks are low slung and have treads, like a bulldozer.
The Russian Embassy also claimed this week that its forces had destroyed three French-made AMX-10 light tanks, which do have wheels. But the AMX-10 has six wheels, not four.
The silhouette of the vehicle destroyed in the video appears to more closely match a self-propelled sprayer, a type of specialized tractor common on modern farms.
Thermal imaging systems like that on the Russian helicopter detect sources of heat to target enemy tanks and trucks in smoky or low light conditions. The stationary vehicles in the video appear black, meaning their engines were cold.
Tank crews operating at the front lines typically conceal themselves in vegetation or behind buildings, emerging only to move and shoot, two experts in military vehicles told the AP. It would be highly unusual for tanks to be parked in the open, where they make easy targets for enemy gunners, they said.
The two experts, who watched the Russian video, said the vehicle struck by the helicopter’s missile was not a Leopard tank nor any other type of armored vehicle.
“The silhouette of that particular vehicle or object did not look commensurate with what I’d be expecting for a Leopard tank,” said George Barros, who leads the Geospatial Intelligence Team for Russia and Ukraine at the Institute for the Study of War. “I agree ... that it was probably a piece of heavy farm equipment.”
Valentin Châtelet, a research associate at The Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, also said the objects in the video were clearly not Leopard tanks.
“They are pointing their thermal camera at three vehicles that appear to be harvesters,” said Châtelet, who is based in Brussels. “And the first target they’re hitting is most likely a sprayer.”
Though both Ukraine and Russia have at various times sought to downplay their battlefield losses, the analysts said the Russian military was particularly notorious for making claims of great victories later proven to be false.
“If you follow what they post and what they claim, you will find that they’ve been outrageously wrong about a variety of different things, be it weapons systems hit that had never been delivered into the theater or official announcements of the Russians capturing particular villages or settlements multiple consecutive times without ever having gotten there in the first place,” Barros said.

2023.06.09 23:03 Cute_Tackle Canto IV Experience
On paper, this chapter sounds kind of dreadful to go through. Much worse pacing than before (and I say this as someone who liked doing the fights), Yi Sang talks more but not really that much more, you fight and kill Dongbaek before even the last third of the chapter, characters are introduced quick and killed off just as quick. Sounds like a massive step down from Canto III, and in some ways it is.
At the end of the day, I have no idea why it may be one of my favorite story chapters in this game despite not even being complete, but I'm not complaining.
The last two nodes of Part 2 are absolutely incredible, and everything about them is just my favorite thing in the game so far. From the reveal of fighting with 7 Sinners, to Dongrang's absolutely savage monologues, Dongbaek being the coolest character in the game, to the plot twists in 4-48, the entire Personal EGO awakening thing, and honestly the design of those bosses. I felt like I was playing Ruina again, and I mean this in the best way possible. Maybe the human fights dragging on made me feel like it was better than it actually was, but either way it felt like magic was happening.
The rest of the story was good, too, although it definetly felt like it was building up towards the last few nodes. The issues are there, and they are felt, but the foreshadowing, the little details you get by looking back after completing 4-47 and 4-48 (looking at you, storybook section and brazen bull fight), the fact that you fight people with Lobotomy EGO (literally the coolest shit as a Lobotomy player), all the little character moments between our Sinners (the scene where they all talk about the contract felt just right), it all came together that I honestly forgive the less favorable parts of the chapter.
Not to endorse those mistakes, however. Project Moon is good at listening to criticism and are open to change, so make your voice heard. If the chapter is already good with things the way they are, imagine how good it could be with those issues addressed? Even just going from Part 1 to Part 2, there's no 5 node fight against the Rosespanner people again, and I've noticed no typos at all, unlike the last Part.

2023.06.09 23:03 Lumpy_Reserve_4852 My woman who I honestly believed I was going to marry has demolished my heart. Here to vent.
Yea I mean I was aware of the fact that she had some issues when I got involved with her a little over a year ago. Some baggage. Who doesn’t though? So my girlfriend of ten years had just died some two months before I met her and I admit I fell hard. Very deeply Inlove with her. Probably because I was so sad about the loss of my girlfriend of ten years. My guard was down. I had been trying to have a child for years with my girlfriend who died and then of course I meet this new one and she got pregnant pretty much immediately. We decided to have the child even though we’d just met. I fell deeper and deeper in love with this new woman. I mean she is special. She’s fun. I love to be around her. She makes me laugh. I could go on and on. But now I’m sure she cheating. She goes out on these “appointments “ where she shuts her phone off or “accidentally puts her phone on airplane mode”. Such dumb excuses. So yea I mean I’m fucking heartbroken. I mean I’m not exactly sure what she’s doing to be completely honest. But I would assume she’s cheating. I’ve never been treated like this before by a girlfriend. It’s awful. So hurt. So fucking hurt. I mean we have a child together for chrissake. I don’t know. God help me.

2023.06.09 23:03 xtremexavier15 TSROTI 8 (pt 2)
The episode resumed on the giant octopus with its spiked tentacle held menacingly over the Maggots. It growled and reared the appendage back, prompting Geoff to quickly jump to the back with his teammates just before the front was slammed down upon, launching all four into the air.
They flew screaming across the lake, their shadows passing over the swimming Rats, and finally they crashed down onto the rocky beach of Wawanakwa. They groaned in pain, and Anne Maria was the first to lift her head and look around.
"Hey," she said, "we're in first place!"
"Rad," Geoff weakly groaned.
"The Maggots win," Chris called down from above, leaning out the open door of the helicopter, "and get these as a reward!"
He dropped down two objects, which Molly quickly caught – one was a compass, and the other fell open to reveal a map of the island. "A map and compass," the indie chick said flatly as her teammates looked at their reward.
"I'll keep those so I can navigate us better," Scarlett said, swiping the objects away from Molly.
"Weellll, look who just washed up!" Chris said, turning his attention to the edge of the water as the Rats finally swam ashore.
"I blame the octopus for leaving us like this," Sierra said.
"You can say that again," Scott responded.
"Put a sock in it!" Chris called down to them. "Now, the second part of today's challenge started off as a practical joke involving classic Total Drama competitor Amy. Buuuut, it's turned into more of a rescue mission," he said, pointing a remote down at the beach and pressing the button.
The shot cut to both teams on shore as they turned and looked at a television cart that had just been wheeled over by a long-haired white male intern. The screen cut from static to none other than Amy trapped inside what appeared to be a somewhat spacious wooden coffin. She woke up and bumped her head on the lid. "What? Where am I?" she asked, looking around in confusion. "I'm buried alive?!" she exclaimed and pounded on the low ceiling with her fist in a rather panicked fashion. "GET ME OUT OF HERE!"
"Burying someone alive is super dangerous," Trent scolded, "even by your standards."
"That's why we're using the buddy system," Chris told them. "And instead of letting last year's losers have all the fun, we brought in one of this year's duds!"
The cast's direction moved back to live feed of Amy as the sound of snoring was heard coming from within her prison. The camera zoomed out to show Katie curled up and asleep in the coffin with her.
"Katie! She's back!" DJ exclaimed excitedly. "What happened to her?"
"She ate a lot of Chef's buttolini," Chris explained as the focus cut back to the beach, "so she's gonna be out for a couple more minutes," he laughed.
"That is just messed up for you to do!" DJ scowled.
Confessional: Sammy
"Is it just me, or does Chris become more and more deranged with each passing season?" Sammy talked to the camera.
Confessional Ends
Chris carried on. "Maggots! You've got your compass and your map to the general vicinity of the chests at the other side of the island. First team to rescue the girls wins the challenge. Now go!"
Geoff, Molly, Anne Maria, and Scarlett ran off into the woods without another word, but as the Rats moved to follow, Chris landed his helicopter on the sand in front of them. "Uh-tu-tut-tut," he said, "not so fast. To the losers go the penalty belts. Chef," he turned to his grinning assistant, "lock 'em in!"
The cook stepped out of the pilot's seat and walked over to the five Rats, and the footage skipped ahead to him locking a metal belt around Trent's waist, with handcuffs attached to each side to keep his arms in place. The camera zoomed out and revealed that identical belts had already been locked onto his teammates.
"These things must weigh a hundred pounds!" Trent complained.
"120 pounds to be exact," Chris replied before slotting a metal detector onto his back.
"How is a metal detector supposed to help us find a chest?" Sierra asked in confusion.
"It's not," Chris smiled, taking out a red megaphone and shouting "Now GO! GO-GO-GO-GO-GO-GO!"
The Rats promptly ran off into the woods.
Confessional: Scott
"We're behind the Maggots and disadvantaged, and I'm going to keep it that way," Scott grinned.
Confessional Ends
The camera moved to a nondescript patch of ground somewhere, a muffled pounding sound coming from below it. Amy was then heard grunting in annoyance, and the scene cut inside her chest as she frantically pulled out a cellphone. "Chris and his crummy show can just burn to the ground," she complained as she started dialing.
A ringing came over the phone, and the screen split down the middle to show Chris answering on the left. "Hello~?" he opened with an almost mocking singsong voice.
"You've gone too far," Amy said. "You can't just-"
She was interrupted by a loud snore coming from within the coffin.
"Was that you?" Chris asked.
"No it wasn't," Amy responded. "This girl's a heavy snorer, and it's driving me nuts."
Chris shrugged as he stowed his phone back in his pocket. "I'm sure she's fine," he said to himself.
\
The scene moved to the Maggots, the four of them arriving at the edge of what the camera soon panned over to show was a massive swamp with smelly, bubbling green water dotted with toxic waste barrels.
Immediately the four began to cough. "This smells like gym socks and skunks in one big burrito," Molly griped.
"According to the map, there's a path around the swamp," Scarlett said, looking at the map in her hands, "but it'll take too long, though."
"We'll just have to go through the stink," Geoff shrugged.
"As long as the Rats don't follow us, I'll go along with it," Anne Maria said before they ran into the swamp.
\
A large purple dragonfly landed atop a stump in another part of the swamp. A pale purple frog sitting on a lilypad nearby promptly shot its tongue out at the dragonfly, only to yelp as the insect caught the tongue in its mouth and bit down hard.
The camera panned to the left, showing the edge of the swamp again as the Toxic Rats arrived.
"Ugh," Sierra immediately complained, her face scrunched up in disgust. "That smell is disgusting!"
"Smells like home," Scott sighed happily.
"We have no other choice. We have to go through here," Trent said.
"Now you're speaking my language," Scott smiled before the two ran through the swamp.
DJ and Sierra were about to jump in, but were stopped by Sammy holding them. "Why did you stop us, Sammy?" Sierra asked.
"You may or may not believe me before, but I need to tell you to vote Scott off if we lose," Sammy begged.
"Why do you want Scott gone?" DJ wondered.
"I've been thinking about it, and I eventually realized that Scott's the one who framed Leshawna," Sammy said. "And I also realized he's the one who paralyzed me with the seagull."
"Why would Scott do that?" DJ asked curiously.
"I don't know, but he's probably trying to sabotage us and pick us off one by one," Sammy replied.
"Scott did try to leave during the trivia challenge," Sierra remembered.
"Are you sure you're telling the truth?" DJ asked the cheerleader. "I wasn't on this team to start with."
"If you don't believe me when I say he's throwing the challenges, then just help me vote him off," Sammy pleaded.
"To be fair, he's super obnoxious and rude," Sierra considered. "I'll definitely vote for him next."
"So will I," DJ agreed. "Mama always taught me to stay away from negative influences." The three jumped into the swamp when their conversation ended.
The camera lingered after they left, just long enough to catch the the dragonfly from earlier buzzing out of the swamp still carrying the frog by its tongue.
\
The scene moved back to the Maggots, Molly and Geoff trailing behind their teammates.
"I say we dispose of Molly should we lose this round," Scarlett said to Anne Maria. "She's not the most supportive player here, and I know you don't want to separate from Geoff."
"Well, Molly hasn't left us behind again, and I'm not going to hold that over her," Anne Maria said, looking back at her map...and unwittingly walking up onto something rough and green and scaly.
She was cut off by an ominous growling below her, and looked down and ahead just as the small, beady eyes of an alligator rose above the surface of the swamp.
The mutant beast promptly reared up, revealing its long tusks, spines, and tentacle-like forelimbs and tossing both Anne Maria and the map into the water. She and Scarlett quickly went back and regrouped with Geoff and Molly, and all four screamed and ran forward just before the mutant alligator pounced onto the spot they'd just been standing in.
"We can hide in that tree!" Molly exclaimed, the camera following to a large tree in the swamp ahead of them. The four quickly ran over to it, Molly giving Scarlett a boost into it before scrambling into the branches herself.
"It's coming back!" Scarlett told them as Geoff pulled Anne Maria up into the tree next. The tanned girl looked back over her shoulder and gasped in fear as the shot quickly cut to the massive mutant swimming towards them, then roaring and pouncing. Anne Maria was pulled up just in time and the alligator slammed head-first into the tree's protruding roots. The whole tree shook, but the camera panned up to show that the Maggots had managed to hang on.
"You're a lifesaver, Party Hat," Anne Maria told the boy who'd pulled her up.
Confessional: Anne Maria
Whenever we're together, Geoff tends to act cool or dumb around me," Anne Maria stated to the camera. "And who can blame him? Check me out. The tan, the hair. Look at me, I'm hot!"
Confessional Ends
"We better leave before that thing wakes up," Anne Maria said, the camera panning up from a shot of the stunned mutant alligator lying at the base of the tree.
"Good idea," Geoff told her before dropping back down into the water. His teammates joined him, and the shot quickly focused on Anne Maria as she pulled out the tattered remains of the map.
"The map's ripped," she spoke.
"That's not a big deal," Molly told her. "We still have our compass, so we'll know where we're going."
"And lucky for us, I kept a hold of the compass," Scarlett said as she held up the object.
Confessional: Scarlett
"I let Anne Maria hold the map for us so if it got ripped, it'll give Molly a reason to try and convince Geoff to vote for me," Scarlett confessed. "Irresponsibility is a big factor as to why previous players got eliminated."
Confessional Ends
The static cut to the five Rats watching the alligator looking around from behind a tree.
"Okay," DJ said, "if we circle around a bit, we can avoid the alligator."
"I don't think we can avoid all of them," Sammy spoke nervously, drawing the team's attention behind the group to a pair of smaller, paler alligators that were swimming towards.
Sierra turned around and smiled confidently. "Don't worry, I'll take care of them," she said. "You guys go get that chest!"
"But-" Sammy said.
"Just go!" Sierra demanded, prompting her teammates to leave.
The two smaller alligators hissed menacingly while Sierra stood her ground and said "I'm not going out without a fight!" The two alligators pounced on her as she let out a scream.
\
"So which way do we go next?" Geoff asked his team.
Scarlett walked ahead a bit. "Moss grows on the northern side of trees and Chris said our goal is to the north, so we need to go that way," the brainiac pointed to the right.
The camera cut to the outskirts of a massive forest of thorn bushes. "We have to go through a thorn bush forest?" Geoff asked in shock and horror.
"Of course not. We go through there," Scarlett pointed to a route closer to the camera and around the thorns.
The Maggots shared a look of wide-eyed shock. "Okay, that's better," Anne Maria nodded.
She, Scarlett, Molly, and Geoff quickly ran off to the right.
\
A flash took the scene to the edge of a clearing with the thick thorn bush forest visible a little ways in the background. The Maggots arrived from the left, and immediately looked around.
"This clearing is just like the one on the map," Anne Maria said as the group moved further into the clearing and started digging.
The Rats were shown arriving later. "The Rats are already digging!" Scott complained.
"And where's Sierra?" Trent asked.
As if of cue, the obsessive uberfan -now sporting a black eye and tattered attire - arrived. "I told you I could fend them off," she woozily bragged. "They gave up after I lost most of my blood." She then passed out and fell near a rock that caused her metal detector to go off. DJ smiled and kicked the rock away to reveal a ring with two keys.
"Two keys?" DJ mused. "The small one must be for the cuffs!"
\
The footage skipped ahead to an unlocked penalty belt falling around DJ's feet. The camera panned up to show him and Sammy examining the other key.
"This one must be for the treasure chest," DJ said.
"Hey guys, I can feel Amy pounding below me!" Scott lied to his team. "We must dig here!"
"Got it," Sammy nodded.
As Sammy and DJ used their metal detectors to dig through the dirt, and Sierra still looking passed out, Scott dragged Trent to a distance away from the team.
"If I tell you something, do you promise to keep it a secret?" Scott whispered.
"Of course. What is it?" Trent pondered, to which Scott took out the invincibility statue. "The invincibility statue?"
"I still can't believe I found it," Scott said. "I looked up a tree and the statue was hidden in the leaves."
"And why are you showing me the statue now?" Trent wondered.
"I just wanted you to trust me," Scott followed up. "Our teammates are obviously going to vote for me, and if I use this, it'll cancel out the votes against me."
"I'm not ready for you to leave yet," Trent smiled. "Thanks for letting me know you'll be safe."
The shot cut to the Maggots digging their hole with Scarlett poking her head out. "The Rats are here, so we need to hurry!" she called out. "How deep did Chris bury them?"
"You don't need to worry about that anymore, because we just found the chest!" Molly said as the lid swung open and Amy quickly hopped out.
"That was insufferable to go through!" Amy panted before walking away from the scene.
"And the Maggots win," Chris called down to them all as he arrived in the helicopter.
With the exception of Scott, the Rats gasped in disappointment while in their hole. "You said you heard them here!" Sammy told the devious boy.
DJ pulled himself out of the hole and ran over to where the Maggots were standing. "Don't worry, Katie! I'll get you out of there!"
He jumped into the Maggots' hole and held Katie in his arms. "Katie! Are you fine? Please wake up!" he told her.
Katie's eyes began to open up, and when she saw DJ holding her, she smiled joyfully. "DJ? Is that you?"
Confessional: Katie
"If eating a lot of turkey makes me fall asleep and wake up into the arms of a really cute guy, I'm ordering 100 packs of turkey when I get home!" Katie confessed.
Confessional: Trent
"Scott told me to vote off DJ with him so we wouldn't be dealing with a threat," Trent admitted. "I don't want to do this to a past and current teammate, but Scott does bring up a good point."
Confessionals End
It was now night time, and after a brief focus on the moon accompanied by a hooting owl, the camera panned down to DJ and Katie sitting together on the steps of the Rats' cabin.
"Sorry you had to go through being buried underground like that," DJ talked to the perky influencer.
"Chris is very underhanded. I'll tell you that," Katie responded.
"I remember you telling me you liked me the day you got hurled out of the island," DJ smiled awkwardly.
"You do?!" Katie's eyebrows raised up.
"Yep, and I never got to respond to you about that," DJ said.
"Well, if you feel differently about what I-" Katie tried to say, but got cut off by DJ touching her lips with his own.
They kissed for a few seconds before they stopped, the two of them looking awkwardly happy.
"That was my way of saying I love you too," DJ said. "I'll have to talk to Mama about this, but once she approves, we can begin our relationship."
"Oh, definitely. I have to go now, but I want you to know I'll be cheering you on from the sidelines," Katie eagerly replied back before they hugged each other affectionately.

The scene flashed to a long-distance shot of the island. Another flash, and the camera cut to the campfire pit where the Rats - except for Sierra - were waiting nervously. Chris was in his oil drum podium bearing not a tray of marshmallows, but four slips of small, yellowed paper.
"Okay, players," Chris opened. "The votes are tallied. And by a tied vote, tonight's losers are none other than..."
"Wait," Trent interrupted. "Where are the marshmallows? And more importantly, where's Sierra."
"The marshmallows were eaten by a hungry me," Chris bragged, "and Sierra was deemed too injured and woozy from the alligator attack, so we had her evacuated from the game for good."
"Really?!" Sammy's eyes widened. "Aw. I hope she gets better soon."
"Regardless, I'm still carrying on with the ceremony," Chris continued and read from his slip. "The people with the same amount of votes are…"
Sammy looked at DJ nervously, and DJ took a look at Scott narrowing his eyes at them, to which Trent started feeling worried.
"DJ and Scott."
Trent gasped at the news while Scott looked taken back at first. The dirt farmer soon composed himself and said "Sorry. But I ain't going nowhere." Scott pulled out the statue and flipped it on his hand.
"What!?" Sammy yelped in surprise with DJ gaping as well.
"The invincibility statue! Nice! That means Scott is safe," Chris announced jovially. "This also means that the tiebreaker will be avoided, because tonight, thanks to Trent and Scott, DJ is going home!"
DJ was stunned to hear the news and looked down in disappointment.
"But... no hard feelings, dude. You will be missed," Chris reminded the eliminated contestant.
Trent stood up from his seat. "Sorry for eliminating you, but maybe a group hug can sort things out."
Scott and Sammy followed suit, and eventually, DJ, Sammy, Scott, and Trent were all embracing each other and hugging happily.
\
The scene cut to the docks, where DJ was on the Hurl of Shame as Chris and Chef watched on.
"Ready to fly, DJ?" Chris asked the gentle giant.
"The sooner I'm out of here, the sooner I can talk to Mama about Katie," DJ confirmed, and then, without warning, he was sent flying into the night with a scream.
The camera panned to Chris as he faced the camera with his usual smiling demeanor as the usual cymbal beats opened the series' capstone theme. "And that's another loser out of the game. Come back for even more painful awesomeness, next time, on Total! Drama! Revenge, of the Island!"

2023.06.09 23:02 ZachTheLitchKing [TT] Theme Thursday - Warmth
Original Prompt
Embers of Deception
Kitaka was old. Very old. Not only was she the oldest in her village, but she was the oldest of the Elders, the leaders of each village who were summoned. Her long, silver hair was thin and wispy, kept tied in a braid that wrapped twice around her shoulders. Her cloak remained wrapped close around her, concealing the thin limbs. She needed to project strength to her people, especially in these trying times, but the hood was cast back to let her braid glitter in the firelight.
"The forum has quorum," she said in a deep tone. Age had not diminished her ability to project her voice across all hundred gathered heads.
Kitaka was one of the three Elders of Elders, the oldest of the assembled village leaders. A triumvirate. Chipteya was the third eldest of the three and her presence made it so they could proceed. At least two were needed, though it always made things more...tense.
The leaders were a rather superstitious lot. Kitaka paid lip service to the traditions but rolled her eyes at the gestures and curses her fellow elders made at any slight inconvenience. Vendalka, the third of the triumvirate, had always butt heads with her over the most trivial of details so she was not sad for him to not be there causing problems. Unfortunately, having one of the Elders of Elders missing was going to make getting them to agree on anything nigh impossible.
But Vendalka's absence was the very reason the villages were being assembled. She invited Belka to the dais to share his reports.
"The Orcs of the east have banded together," he said. His level tone was working hard to conceal the fear and worry he shared with everyone at the idea of the tribes uniting. "One runner escape Vendalka's village. They are besieged and in dire need of assistance."
The room broke out into dozens of conversations and arguments at once. Kitaka took in a slow breath and sighed, looking across the fire to Chipteya. She looked so tired.
"Calm, please!" Kitaka yelled as best she could, working to keep her voice even and not shriek. That would sound like panic and would only make things worse.
"It is obvious we will not abandon Vendalka's village. But we cannot marshal our villages to charge into a trap. It will take time to gather our strength in numbers, so in that time we can send...scouts...to..." She trailed off as a dull thump thump thump-thump sound began to make its way through the wood walls of the Gathering Hall. It was the sound of war drums.
Vendalka's war drums.
"The door is locked!" someone at the back of the Hall shouted. There was screaming and as Kitaka looked toward the sound she saw smoke rising. The Gathering Hall had been set aflame.
We are betrayed, she realized as the fires spread along the walls and to the ceiling.

2023.06.09 23:02 GodsOnlyThrowaway Inside.
For some reason, they attempted to silence me at
UFOs I am posting this here to keep my story going
Turning this into a thread for those that have questions about anything I've seen or know. #AMA
Sorry for the late reply! (this is also going to be a long one, so I'll be taking breaks in-between as more relevant things come up. I'd also like to source a few things, so please bear with me.) However, in reply to your question... Yes, I do believe "aliens" exist. I actually (and know for a FACT) think there are more than just aliens, all around us, and all the time. There was actually a study relating to something similar. I believe it was on schizophrenia, and there was a specific person, with specific credentials; that suggested the "voices" were actually inter-dimensional entities. (This will be sourced if I can pull it again) Now, lets take a step back before I really go hard on this... Out of 99% of the people that have attempted to debate me on such topics, only 1% have actually read, studied, and internalized the ancient human texts that I've brought up. Some of such books are "The Holy Bible" (As well as the translations and other versions like Quran, Torah, etc, I've read them all) And yes, they are all versions of the same thing. If you read them, you'd know that. "The Emerald Tablets of Thoth" "The Book of Enoch" "The Book of The Goetia/The Book of Solomon" Trust me, that list goes on. I find myself arguing with people that have no solid defense but their own opinion. No scientific, spiritual, or even RELIGIOUS knowledge on what they're talking about. It is super stressful. In said books and more, they talk about a plethora of situations and events humans went through. Here's a source from an unclassified CIA document that states such;
https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP79B00752A000300070001-8.pdf TLDR; the CIA document explains the history of the Earth and the various cataclysms (natural disasters) the Earth has faced. In many documents, they claim we are "overdue" for this extinction period. (Don't forget, all those ancient peoples and texts talked about this same EXACT event). So, they were all lying? These ancient peoples had time to waste on art and cave paintings? I don't buy it. And no, I'm not done... I also want to state that I have no interest in this being in the news, media, etc. I'm sharing this for human knowledge. The books I've mentioned, as well as many other things, fall puzzle-perfect, right into what I've been saying for almost 15 years. We live on a planet, in the middle of a mass of unknown, amongst the unknown. There are a few reasons I believe aliens exist. For some reason, my part about Astral Projection was deleted. (I am manually retyping this again, so more points may be added for any who screened previously). As stated previously, upon reading these texts, you'll find revealed that, EVERY human being has the ability to Astral Project. Now, if you aren't familiar with this, or have questions, you can easily Google "Astral Projection". AP (Astral Projection) has been preached by many of the leading spiritual figures in society. As far as "aliens", I've seen more than 1. In person and during AP. I am confident in saying that they are not all the same and they do not all have the same purpose. Call it what you want, but I had to LEARN how to do this, and I actually learned this while serving Active Duty Military. I also have the person that taught me these techniques, on Facebook. I'm more than happy to reach out to him if you'd all request it. And I've seen plenty of "UFO's"/"UAP" Still not done... The problem here is, every single last one of these books... They all say the same thing. We've been seeded here by another form of life that has obviously transcended us. They created us. Please, go back to your bibles and Holy texts that will only confirm what I'm saying. And people are "so afraid" of this return. In these texts, it was stated that "they WILL return here". Now, I'd like you to take an hour out of your time to watch this movie. Return here, IF you have an opinion.
https://youtu.be/U8NNHmV3QPw I shared this video because they provide many sources (that I'm too tired to provide atm), that support many theories from scientists, as well as statements I've made. If you've made it this far, I would like for you to keep in mind that this article is not in any way related to political or religious purpose. This is what I know, and I'm sharing it all. Shall I go on to the...wait for it... Pyramids?

2023.06.09 23:02 shinyopalite I am in the process of having a miscarriage and i’m really anxious
I just really need some advice or reassurance. For some background information, I’m 27 and this was my first pregnancy. Yesterday I woke up bleeding heavily and cramping really badly, I was 6 weeks pregnant exactly and I knew I was losing the baby. I wanted this pregnancy more than anything, and I know it may only be 6 weeks to some people, but I was just over the moon and so in love already. I was crying harder than I ever have in my life and just devastated, but I called my obgyn and they told me to come in immediately to see what was going on.
I got there and they brought me back, and they were going to do an ultrasound but they wanted to just do a urine test first. The urine test came back negative, so they confirmed I’m having a miscarriage and did not do an ultrasound. They only took my vitals (my bp was 144/88) and gave me some words of encouragement and sent me on my way. I let them know I was bleeding a lot with clots and really bad cramps and nausea, but they explained it’s normal and to wait it out for a week or so until it passes. They said i could take otc medicine for pain.
I understand my doctor said this is normal but I am in terrible pain, emotionally and physically. I’ve been bleeding with clots and the cramps haven’t eased up. I feel so nauseous and lightheaded/dizzy occasionally. Im just heartbroken and in so much pain and it doesn’t help that i’m a hypochondriac so I think i’m going to just faint and die from any of these symptoms. I guess i just needed to get this out and maybe hear some other experiences or advice. I just feel very alone and scared.

2023.06.09 23:00 AutoModerator What are the benefits and side effects of Ashwagandha?
What is ashwagandha?
The ashwagandha plant is one of
the most powerful herbs. Various parts of the ashwagandha plant are used for medicinal purposes, with ashwagandha extract mainly being used in supplements. Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, a natural agent that reportedly helps the body cope with stress. As a result, it’s believed to be effective at helping reduce levels of the stress hormone, cortisol. It may also therefore potentially help with anxiety and depression too.
What does ashwagandha do?
Reduces Stress and Anxiety Ashwagandha is known to help reduce stress and anxiety. One way it does this is by reducing levels of cortisol, a hormone that is released in response to stress. Additionally, ashwagandha has been shown to improve mood and cognitive function, both of which can be negatively affected by stress.
Enhances Cognitive Function Ashwagandha has also been shown to improve cognitive function. One study showed that it improved memory and reaction time in healthy adults. Another study found that it improved task performance in people with ADHD. Additionally, ashwagandha may help prevent age-related cognitive decline.
Boosts Energy Levels Ashwagandha has been shown to boost energy levels. One study showed that it increased stamina and reduced fatigue in people with chronic fatigue syndrome. Additionally, ashwagandha may help improve exercise performance.
Additionally, ashwagandha may also help improve sleep quality and reduce inflammation. These effects can all contribute to enhanced energy levels.
Regulates Blood Sugar Levels Ashwagandha has been shown to help regulate blood sugar levels. One study showed that it improved insulin sensitivity in people with type II diabetes. Additionally, ashwagandha may help reduce fasting blood sugar levels and improve symptoms of diabetes.
Additionally, ashwagandha may also help lower cholesterol levels and protect against heart disease. These effects can also contribute to improved blood sugar control.
Lowers Blood Pressure Ashwagandha has been shown to help lower blood pressure. One study showed that it improved blood pressure in people with hypertension. Additionally, ashwagandha may help reduce stress and anxiety, both of which can contribute to high blood pressure.
Is ashwagandha safe? Ashwagandha is generally considered safe for most people. However, it can cause side effects such as stomach upset, diarrhea, and vomiting in some people. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, it's best to avoid ashwagandha.
What happens when you take ashwagandha daily? As a sleep aid, ashwagandha may help people get to sleep faster and stay asleep for longer. It is also used to promote male potency. Ashwagandha has a variety of health benefits, including reduced blood sugar levels, inflammation, mood, memory, stress and anxiety relief, as well as an increase in muscle strength and fertility. Depending on your requirements, dosages vary from 250 to 500 mg per day for at least one month.
When it comes to stress relief, ashwagandha may be as effective as some prescription medications. A 2010 study found that the herb was just as effective as lorazepam (Ativan) in reducing stress and anxiety. click the link below to learn more about abhwagandha, and its real health benefits.

2023.06.09 23:00 chodebuild AITA for not supporting my friend
I (22M) was going to the gym with my best friend (also 22M). I texted him some details about the plans for the gym, I leave work at this time and we show up at that time. My friend let me know at a certain time he cannot be out because of a phone call that would occur about directing a certain video. I did not reply to that because I thought he was giving the reason why he cannot stay long. Did not want to question that or argue why that would be more important, it's his dreams and I am not gonna tell him no. We meet up at the gym, not even 15 minutes working out, I am getting asked why I did not say anything nice about his plans. That I am not being a good friend for supporting by not hyping him up about the achievements over the years. I told him that I just do not have any interest in the theatre/arts and that I just did not expect him to receive support or a compliment. I got upset at the gym and started getting upset that I wanted to get this workout done before his phone call, so he can make it on time. I came straight from work to change, then to the gym. I slammed the weights down and left raising my voice arguing that I am trying my best to move around his schedule. What he is doing is great but I do not find it interesting. He said that I do not like his short films, ideas, or plans. I wanna be honest and tell him the truth than lying saying it is a good film. He is always asking for help and huge favors that I try my best to do, and when I deny some he gets very upset that I refuse some things on my personal items. He said that I should not react the way I did because I caused a scene when he kept bringing up how poor of a friend I am. I questioned why he went straight forward and not asking if it is an appropriate time to talk about this problem. I do not compliment everything that I do not find amusing and that I do not expect that same when I bring up my own interest. My friend said then says that I am jealous of his achievements. Am I the asshole for giving him an honest response? Edit: The friend said I am suppose to support him and say something good about his achievements and how I never did or gave an answer he did not like.

2023.06.09 22:59 Fluid_Bee2878 24 [M4F] CST USA/Online - Let's voice chat and you tell me about your wedgies
I want to hear a girl talk about wedgies. I wanna hear about how your panties fit, if they ride up, if you've ever been given a wedgie before. I wanna hear you talk about if and how your swimsuits give you wedgies, I wanna hear about it. There's something hot about being at the beach and seeing a girl with a wedgie or fixing a wedgie. Hearing a girl talk about wedgies is equally as hot. We can voice chat on discord. Age isn't super important to me, just obviously no one under 18 and don't be older than like 36 I guess. I'm not looking to chat with guys about this, I'm only looking for a girl to talk about this with. I hope hear about your wedgies!

2023.06.09 22:59 dickles_pickles 26 [M4F] - New Jersey/East Coast/USA - Closeted goth "gamer" guy and tall girl appreciator looking for loving relationship. Open to relocation, pictures included!
Here's a very informative post because I'm very serious about finding the right person for me. I've clearly marked and categorized everything, so feel free to skim the parts that interest you the most.
What brings me to reddit for dating: For the short of it, I've been doing online dating for about 7 years, and could only describe my experience as a sisyphean struggle. With more traditional dating platforms having been
absolutely torturous and a complete waste of time, with me rarely ever finding matches and those I do get ending up being ghosts or people who just don't respond less than productive, I'm hoping this might give me a breakthrough.
Age: 26, open to 18-32~. I’m less about age, more about attraction.
Appearance: 5'8", medium length blond hair (pictures are from when it was short), blue eyes, white skin, slim fit body type. I dress almost exclusively in black if I can help it, hence "closeted goth". I've been told I'm fairly handsome, but I'm including a few (poorly taken) pictures, so you can decide for yourself whether or not I've been lied to!
(Imgur seems to be having problems lately so if you're getting an error that's why. My posts tend to get automatically removed if I include any other image hosters but if you message me I can send alternatives no problem.)
Face: https://imgur.com/a/ykiCkwQ Body (Warning: Shirtless): https://imgur.com/a/zO96e63 Interests: Many of my interests fall into the "nerd" category. Games (video and tabletop), anime, music, art, sci-fi and fantasy stuff of all varieties. I enjoy a lot of RPG's, and some of my favorite game series include kingdom hearts, fire emblem, dark souls, and a fair few others. I play a lot of league at a fairly high level, but I'm not exactly proud of that because the game damages my sanity at times.
In general, I like to keep in shape, play games with friends, share music I think is great, watch tv/movies/anime (horror and psychological stuff especially), share memes, read, and do some amateur writing. I'm also rather intelligent/insightful and enjoy some nuanced discussion.
Location: Currently in central NJ, somewhere in the no man's land between nyc and philly. I'd prefer someone local who I can meet in person, but won't pass up someone great online who's willing to eventually relocate or that I can eventually relocate to.
Looking For: Monogamous relationship, ideally something serious. I feel that what I'd like the most is to find someone very special to me, who I can love with all my heart and spend my life with. It'd probably be my greatest joy in life to be able to do that, and have someone do so in return. That said, this is just a description of my ideal scenario, not what I'd expect out of every relationship.
Traits I'm Looking For: Kind, loving, trustworthy, understanding. Good sense of humor, emotionally intelligent, communicates well. In this regard, I wouldn't ask for anything I don't freely give. I also very fond of women who are dominant/aggressive in a playful way, as well as role reversal dynamics.
Personality: Generally cool headed, laid back, and kind. Introverted, but can be extroverted when I'm in my element and otherwise comfortable. Deceptively intelligent despite how incredibly basic my pictures look, but I also tend to clown around a lot so that's not easy to discern at first. I’m also very reasonable, with a strong preference for peacefully resolving issues, so you can expect very little to no drama and good communication. Oh, and according to a myers briggs test, I'm an INFJ?
Fun facts: I have a deep and sexy voice which many people don't expect, and a great many people tell me I should get into radio or voice acting. I'm also a bit dead on the inside but that's probably because there's a skeleton living inside me.
Partner preferences: I'm a big fan of goth/alt girls, as well as tomboys. I also really like short hair, usually between pixie and neck length, and have a sizable interest in women that are taller than me. But these aren't dealbreakers! As long as I find you attractive, everything is fine.
Dealbreakers/Requirements : Similar interests are pretty important for me. I tend to play a lot of games in my free time for entertainment, so having a partner that I can do that together with is my ideal. I do have a strong preference for body type that I unfortunately can't get past, with that preference being the thinner end of the spectrum when it comes to proportions/body fat. So basically petite/slim/fit/muscular.
PLEASE DON'T BE A SOCIOPATH, OR ACT LIKE ONE! If you have any questions about anything I mentioned (or didn't), just ask and I'll absolutely answer them for you. I'm very friendly so absolutely feel free to come talk to me.

2023.06.09 22:59 TheFotty Any recommendation on a 3.1 modem with voice port?
I had purchased an Arris TM1602 modem for an optimum client. When I called to have it provisioned, they did it, but then said it would not activate because it can only support up to 300Mbps and the client had 500Mbps plan. They said it was because the modem was only DOCSIS 3.0 despite the modem being rated up to 960Mbps they said it can't work faster than 300. Their own website lists the TM1602 3.0 modem as working at speeds less than OR EQUAL TO 500Mpbs.
When I asked then which modem, with telephone port should I get, they said they could not advise of one, and to quote them "it is just trial and error on your end because we can't test every modem".
The Arris T25 is Docsis 3.1 and has voice ports, but I have read a lot of online reviews of people saying it doesn't work with optimum. The TM3402 is listed, but it doesn't look like it is even made anymore. It is out of stock on Arris website and I can't even find it used from a reputable website. eBay literally has one and it is listed as broken...

| Roar! Aguacate jumps up into the air, before hitting the floor with a fiery expression, like a Lion ready to pounce into action. You're on the frontline, everyone's watching Granny raises her hands in the air, soaking the moment with a smile upon her face, her steely gaze fixed on the judges. Your time to shine, don't wait in line, y vamos por todo Aguacate takes out a soccer ball as she lip syncs, kicking it through the air as Floss Michaels catches it from the judges table. Waka waka, eh, eh Spinning and twirling around, Granny buzzes with energy and excitement as she dances and prances with her own flair. Zonk' iZizwe masibuye 'cause this is Africa (Africa, Africa...) Aguacate is having fun with it, and she’s electric. Each and every second she has the quirky flair that Aguacate does best. Expression, power and FUN! Zama qhela Raising her hands in the air, Aguacate cheers, taking out a Mexican Flag as the song ends, the judges cheering. “What the fuck.” Jaslene whispers. … Aguacate, Shantay you stay. Aguacate bows. Granny Gorgeous… Granny smiles. You are a star. I cannot wait to see how you turn out… all grown up. But for now… sashay, away. “I am so happy.” Granny tears up. “I thought my life would end after my love died. This has proven… it’s just begun.” Everyone claps as Granny struts off. “And I sashay… AWAY!” Granny Gorgeous: “To make it to the latter half of this season is a pleasure. I feel as if I have given everything- and I know this is just the beginning.” Lipstick Message: “I love you all! Granny says… SLAY IT!” ~ https://preview.redd.it/zi73hip6325b1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=f6bbf60163c1c229396f63e6c64ec00279d86a79 The racers enter the werkroom. “Granny… gone… just.” Yasmin laughs. “Whoops. Bad joke!” “Granny not so Gorgeous.” Aguacate smirks, wiping the mirror. Aguacate: “I have lip synced for my life. And I am now… another one of those girls who has lip synced.” Aguacate growls. “I was supposed to be perfection!” “How does it feel, joining the lip sync club, Aguacate?” Jaslene raises an eyebrow. “Well, unlike you and Zazu, I don’t plan to REPEAT this.” Aguacate laughs. “Now why am I in it?” Zazu gasps. The three chuckle, sitting down. “Congrats to you, Jaslene… for a win.” Aguacate shrugs. “Your second, which, great of you to catch up-” Jaslene playfully rolls her eyes. “How am I, do you ask?” Aguacate purses her lips. “Well…” King Omari Star: “Aguacate…” “Simply put- as a star, you must have a moment of loss of faith. You crumble- before the Gods themselves, and then- YOU PULL YOURSELF OUT.” Aguacate snaps her fingers. “So I’m doing it.” King Omari Star: “She’s the star of her own telenovela, best you believe it.” The screen slows down as Aguacate continues to monologue, as a rose petal effect cascades down the screen. “It’s the heroes journey.” Aguacate smiles. “I love that you think you’re the hero.” Yasmin adds. Everyone gasps, laughing except Fiore, who just remains silent. “Darling, it’s top 6- why are you sour?” Aguacate turns to stare at Fiore. Suddenly, the music stops from the flowy telenovela to a gritty, rough sound. “I…. I am displeased. I am not displeased. Actually, I’m full of rage.” Fiore growls. “I have come here to deliver HIGH-CLASS DRAG. I am an ACTRESS. I am a WINNER. And I have worked long and hard just to nearly went home on a makeover challenge? A challenge I believe I performed gorgeously in just because of… me not letting loose????” Fiore shakes her head. “A-And that judge. Lady Lucy Vuitton one.” “Sister of the legendary Louise Vuitton.” Aguacate says giggling. “She dare insult my drag like, what?” Fiore looks at the others. “Seriously? What does SHE know, calling it SOULLESS with that crunchy dry, quote-on-quote, blonde wig of a disaster that she wore tonight.” Fiore throws a pillow. “I will not be rudely criticized someone who clearly couldn’t blend in that line… down someone’s neck.” “Jesus.” Jaslene tries to hold in a laugh at Fiore’s shade. . “And it’s just frustrating- it makes me mad that I aspire for clean, precise perfection in every aspect of my drag. I don’t see many hitting, no offense to your sharpie drag Aguacate, but even with that I’m still delivering middle of the road to the panel, and like-“ Fiore starts going on a tangent but then starts to walk out. “Sorry, I can’t do this right now.” “Yikes.” Yasmin says. “Well…” Aguacate smiles. “Back to me.” King Omari Star: “Everyone thinks they are the star of their own story. But I know this- I’m going with a journey, the waters are lovely… and we’re going to the tail end of the race. So the question is… which star will shine brightest?” “So much fun.” Yasmin clasps her hands. King Omari Star: “Well, only one of us has a star in his name.” Omari smirks. ~ The Next Day, Yasmin brings out coffees, as a sheepish Fiore sits alone. “You ok?” Zazu smiles. “I’m here.” Fiore shrugs, before turning to face Yasmin. “...Did you make coffee?” “Is this a venti?” Zazu gasps. “Wait…” Omari looks confused. “These cups have.. Raiz branded on them?” “I monogrammed my own coffee cups.” Yasmin smiles. “Can you make one that says Aguacate on it?” Aguacate turns. “Woah, this is kinda…” Jaslene sips. “Oh my god.” “I LOVE coffee.” Yasmin blushes. You’ve got drag mail! I love love. Do you love it? “Love?” Fiore raises an eyebrow. It’s Drag Time! Hi Racers! For today’s mini challenge, it’s time for a disco dance party! ~ Zazu Nova, you’re our winner baby! “I won!” Zazu cheers. Racers, it’s time for you to play parts in Lovers: The Musical! Jaslene smirks. For this week’s maxi challenge, you will be teamed up in the lip sync musical, where you will perform your ass off as a set of historical LOVERS! Zazu Nova: “A musical?! Yes, I am ready for my singing moment!” Zazu, as mini challenge winner, you get to assign pairs. “Oooh!” Zazu smiles. “I’ll take Omari.” Omari chuckles. “Okay…” Zazu Nova: “Yes, we’ve struggled- but I know we can perform well together. Every DANCE moment together has been good.” Zazu winks. “The funny girls…” Zazu smiles. “Yasmin and Aguacate.” The two wink. And that leaves… Jaslene and Fiore! The two look at each other. “Well.” Jaslene Bangus: “Seriously, Zazu?” Good luck racers… and do not FUCK IT UP! ~ The racers sit down and look at the roles. “Soooo…” Zazu smiles. “These are the roles.” “JFK and Jackie O. Romeo and Juilet. Antony and Cleopatra.” Yasmin purses her lips. Everyone looks over, before Jaslene raises her hand. “Zazu, I have a question.” Jaslene says. “Oh, sure!” Zazu smiles. “Have you set me up by putting us together?” Jaslene purses her lips. “Because real talk… I haven’t received a single word from her.” Fiore rolls her eyes. “We haven’t decided how to play it yet.” “So… if you set me up, girl, own it. But if you didn’t, well… Girl, if you aren’t giving cunt…” Jaslene looks at Zazu. “Maybe you’re just silly.” “I’m a water sign, I’m giving FISH.” Zazu winks, before stopping. “...I didn’t realize. I thought it was a solid pairing, sorry.” “Mmmmhm.” Fiore says sarcastically. “We’ll make it work.” Jaslene responds. “JFK is my favorite, because, talk about a man with a good shot in the head!” Yasmin laughs. “So I’d like that role! To be the gorgeous first lady, her man by her side..” Omari stares in horror. Aguacate: “That is CLEARLY a role one is favored over the other. I do not want that.” “Actually…” Aguacate raises her hand. “For me, I’d actually like ANTONY and CLEOPATRA.” “Oh, sure.” Yasmin nods. “I’ll take it.” Yasmin Raiz: “This is a team challenge, and I want to do it smooth- and efficiently.” “I’d really think we do well with Romeo and Juilet.” Omari grins. “It’s a classic stereotype, but…” “It’s a good one.” Zazu winks. “And that leaves… JFK and Jackie.” Zazu smiles. “I’ll take Jackie.” Fiore responds, grabbing the book. “Let’s make it work.” Jaslene nods. ~ The teams start practicing their roles. “So… we’re ANTONY and Cleopatra.” Aguacate smiles. “Woo!” Yasmin cheers. “I want us to be the most extravagant, most over the top artists of all time.” Aguacate smiles. “Ooooh…” Yasmin nods. Yasmin Raiz: “I am aware me and Aguacate are not the PERFORMERS of the cast. We’re not Jaslene or Zazu- lip sync assassins. But I am quietly confident.” Yasmin winks. “To me, you seem like you could be a Roman General.” Aguacate grins. “I want the chaos of CLEOPATRA…” “I feel like I can do either role, either way.” Yasmin says. “The same with the JFK and Jackie O. I can do this another way, either way- I’m versatile.” “I heard that about you.” Aguacate smirks, before stopping. “You've mentioned it again.” “...What?” “Clearly, you wanted that role. You didn’t fight for it.” Aguacate purses her lips. “Why?” “Because I believe we can do it either way.” Yasmin says. “I’ve been consistent, I’ve been showing up-” “Where are you girl?” Aguacate asks. “I don’t see it. Consistent is good, but girl, we’re here to STEAL the show.” Yasmin raises an eyebrow. “Yell bitch, tell me how you want it.” Aguacate screams. “I want to be here till the end, DO YOU?!” “I do!” Yasmin nods. Agucate looks at Yasmin. “Show it.” … “Well, we’re here.” Fiore looks at Jaslene. Fiore Stravaganza: “I’m paired… yet… yet again.” Fiore growls. “I don’t want to work with you.” Jaslene says. “But we must.” "You know what, Jaslene? I don't want to work with you either! But we have no choice, so let's just get this over with and win." “You’re the one who's been complaining- and almost left.” Jaslene growls, before narrowing her eyes. "Let's just pretend to be the loving, passionate couple on stage, while we're at each other's throats offstage." The music starts, and Jaslene springs into action, hitting each and every move, until Fiore arrives- and very quickly, very clearly, Fiore is struggling. “Ugh…” Fiore exhales, walking off the stage. “Let’s do it.” Jaslene looks at Fiore. “Come on.” "Damn it, Jaslene! Can't you give me a break? You're making me look like a fool up there!" Fiore's voice cracks. "I'm doing my part, Fiore. Maybe if you focused more on actually learning the steps and less on complaining, you wouldn't look like such a fool." "Oh, I'm sorry if I'm not as perfect as you, Miss Lip Sync Assassin!” Fiore snaps. “You’re the one who abandoned the AE Girls!” Jaslene yells back. “What does that have to do with anything?!” Fiore's eyes narrow. "First off, I didn't abandon anyone! I've been focused on winning this competition and giving my all to every challenge. Unlike you, who seems to be more interested in stirring up drama and picking fights." "Don't you dare try to twist this around on me, Fiore. I've been nothing but supportive to everyone here, including you. But all you care about is yourself and your precious victory." Fiore scoffs. "Oh please, spare me the holier-than-thou act. I've seen through your facade from day one. You're just as self-centered as the rest of us, maybe even more so." Jaslen steps forward. "You have no idea what I've been through, what I've sacrificed to be here. You think you're so superior with your acting skills and your high-class drag, but let me tell you something, Fiore: talent alone doesn't make you a good person or a good friend." Fiore sighs. "I never said I was a good person or a good friend, Jaslene. But at least I'm honest about who I am. I've been laser-focused on this competition because it's my chance to prove myself, to show the world what I'm capable of. And if that means I've been distant or cold, then so be it." “Let’s just do this challenge.” Jaslene exhales. “Now that I can agree with.” Fiore sighs. … Zazu and Omari walk onto the stage. “Let’s hold hands and talk about our feelings.” Zazu smiles. “...Jesus Christ.” Omari whispers under his breath, before chuckling. “Okay, let’s have fun with it.” “Yes!” Zazu grins. “I can do the choreo.” Omari nods. “Like romeo…” Omari drops to his knees, twirling. “Spin.” “Juilet SPINS!” Zazu drops to the floor, spinning. “I leap.” Omari leaps, and the words start. Zazu hits every single line, and Omari looks in surprise. “I shouldn’t be surprised… but damn.” Omari exhales. “You’ve got it.” “You got the choreo, I’ve got this for us.” Zazu smiles. “We good?” “Of course, I’m great.” Omari grins. “What star sign are you?” Zazu pouts. “... I am Pisces.” “Oh my GOD, I am a Pisces!” Zazu yells. Zazu grabs Omari's hands and looks into his eyes with excitement. “Oh-” "Omari, this is fate! We're both Pisces, which means we're connected by the stars. We're meant to be partners in this challenge, not just on stage but in our emotions too. Let's dive deep into the depths of our characters and express all the love, longing, and passion they embody!" Zazu yells. “You don’t have to lie. This challenge is…” “Scary?” Omari says. “That the journey is non-linear, that I don’t have a second win yet, that I don’t have a solo win…” Zazu smiles. "Omari, my dear, dear Pisces. Embrace the unknown, for that is where true growth lies. This challenge is an opportunity for you to break free from your stoic shell and reveal the depths of your emotions. You have a vulnerability within you, and I believe it's time to let it shine." Omari looks at Zazu. “Yes, I am nervous and perhaps this journey has been harder then I expected.” Zazu clicks her fingers. "It’s like I’ve said, I've always been guarded with my emotions. It's how I've protected myself all these years. But maybe... maybe it's time to let go of that guard, even just for a moment." Zazu grins. "Yes! Let the stars guide you. Use the energy of this challenge to tap into your true emotions. Allow yourself to feel, to express, and to connect." Omari takes a deep breath and grins. "Alright, Zazu. I'll trust your guidance. Let's make this performance unforgettable." “PISCES ELEGANZA!” Zazu cheers. ~ The racers chat as they get ready for the main stage challenge. “So, does anyone have any idea what they’d like to do with the crowning money, if they were to win this season?” Yasmin smiles. “$100,000…” Zazu’s eyes light up. “I’ve already made $10,000…” Aguacate smirks. “I cannot wait to make another $115,000.” “115?” Jaslene says, confused. “This, next week, the week after that. Final 3.” Aguacate grins. “Gosh, I don’t even plan for those things…” Jaslene chuckles. “Same.” Yasmin smiles. “I’m here for the ride…” Aguacate looks at Yasmin. “But you know, I’m here to win and give my all too, so that’s good to know.” Yasmin chuckles, as Aguacate nods. “For me, this money would go back to my community- with some for myself.” Omari nods. “I value the scene, and- the reality is there isn’t much. I am one of a few Kings- in a scene with a few drag artists. I want the power to be invested back in it.” “I feel the same.” Yasmin smiles. “The scene in Guyana isn’t like those more- mainstream countries. I will support and guide others, so people know- we’re here, we’re queer, get used to it.” “Fuck yeah.” Omari snaps his fingers in agreement. “I will use it for myself, and my girls.” Jaslene smiles. “We’re all supportive of each other- my drag sisters and me. And I want them to feel the love.” “I’ve got the same idea for my drag mom.” Zazu nods. “She’s saved me, and I’d love to help her.” Fiore nods, looking over. “I’d love to help my parents.” Aguacate looks in the mirror. “I think- I think they’d need it.” “Think?” Omari asks. Aguacate shrugs, clearly not interested in continuing further. “Either way, this competition, this moment- we’re all going away, with money, pride- and the ability to change our lives, forever.” Fiore glares into the mirror. “Exactly.” Yasmin smiles. The 6 look at each other, ready for the night ahead. ~ Stats Voting Spreadsheet submitted by AustralianChrono to ChronologicasDragRace [link] [comments] |

I can do this another way, either way- I’m versatile.” “I heard that about you.” Aguacate smirks, before stopping. “You've mentioned it again.” “...What?” “Clearly, you wanted that role. You didn’t fight for it.” Aguacate purses her lips. “Why?” “Because I believe we can do it either way.” Yasmin says. “I’ve been consistent, I’ve been showing up-” “Where are you girl?” Aguacate asks. “I don’t see it.

Agucate looks at Yasmin. “Show it.” … “Well, we’re here.” Fiore looks at Jaslene. Fiore Stravaganza: “I’m paired… yet… yet again.” Fiore growls. “I don’t want to work with you.” Jaslene says. “But we must.” "You know what, Jaslene? I don't want to work with you either! But we have no choice, so let's just get this over with and win." “You’re the one who's been complaining- and almost left.” Jaslene growls, before narrowing her eyes. "Let's just pretend to be the loving, passionate couple on stage, while we're at each other's throats offstage." The music starts, and Jaslene springs into action, hitting each and every move, until Fiore arrives- and very quickly, very clearly, Fiore is struggling. “Ugh…” Fiore exhales, walking off the stage. “Let’s do it.” Jaslene looks at Fiore. “Come on.” "Damn it, Jaslene! Can't you give me a break? You're making me look like a fool up there!" Fiore's voice cracks. "I'm doing my part, Fiore. Maybe if you focused more on actually learning the steps and less on complaining, you wouldn't look like such a fool." "Oh, I'm sorry if I'm not as perfect as you, Miss Lip Sync Assassin!” Fiore snaps. “You’re the one who abandoned the AE Girls!” Jaslene yells back. “What does that have to do with anything?!” Fiore's eyes narrow. "First off, I didn't abandon anyone! I've been focused on winning this competition and giving my all to every challenge. Unlike you, who seems to be more interested in stirring up drama and picking fights." "Don't you dare try to twist this around on me, Fiore. I've been nothing but supportive to everyone here, including you. But all you care about is yourself and your precious victory." Fiore scoffs. "Oh please, spare me the holier-than-thou act. I've seen through your facade from day one. You're just as self-centered as the rest of us, maybe even more so." Jaslen steps forward. "You have no idea what I've been through, what I've sacrificed to be here. You think you're so superior with your acting skills and your high-class drag, but let me tell you something, Fiore: talent alone doesn't make you a good person or a good friend." Fiore sighs. "I never said I was a good person or a good friend, Jaslene. But at least I'm honest about who I am. I've been laser-focused on this competition because it's my chance to prove myself, to show the world what I'm capable of. And if that means I've been distant or cold, then so be it." “Let’s just do this challenge.” Jaslene exhales. “Now that I can agree with.” Fiore sighs. … Zazu and Omari walk onto the stage. “Let’s hold hands and talk about our feelings.” Zazu smiles. “...Jesus Christ.” Omari whispers under his breath, before chuckling. “Okay, let’s have fun with it.” “Yes!” Zazu grins. “I can do the choreo.” Omari nods. “Like romeo…” Omari drops to his knees, twirling. “Spin.” “Juilet SPINS!” Zazu drops to the floor, spinning. “I leap.” Omari leaps, and the words start. Zazu hits every single line, and Omari looks in surprise. “I shouldn’t be surprised… but damn.” Omari exhales. “You’ve got it.” “You got the choreo, I’ve got this for us.” Zazu smiles. “We good?” “Of course, I’m great.” Omari grins. “What star sign are you?” Zazu pouts. “... I am Pisces.” “Oh my GOD, I am a Pisces!” Zazu yells. Zazu grabs Omari's hands and looks into his eyes with excitement. “Oh-” "Omari, this is fate! We're both Pisces, which means we're connected by the stars. We're meant to be partners in this challenge, not just on stage but in our emotions too. Let's dive deep into the depths of our characters and express all the love, longing, and passion they embody!" Zazu yells. “You don’t have to lie. This challenge is…” “Scary?” Omari says. “That the journey is non-linear, that I don’t have a second win yet, that I don’t have a solo win…” Zazu smiles. "Omari, my dear, dear Pisces. Embrace the unknown, for that is where true growth lies. This challenge is an opportunity for you to break free from your stoic shell and reveal the depths of your emotions. You have a vulnerability within you, and I believe it's time to let it shine." Omari looks at Zazu. “Yes, I am nervous and perhaps this journey has been harder then I expected.” Zazu clicks her fingers. "It’s like I’ve said, I've always been guarded with my emotions. It's how I've protected myself all these years. But maybe... maybe it's time to let go of that guard, even just for a moment." Zazu grins. "Yes! Let the stars guide you. Use the energy of this challenge to tap into your true emotions. Allow yourself to feel, to express, and to connect." Omari takes a deep breath and grins. "Alright, Zazu. I'll trust your guidance. Let's make this performance unforgettable." “PISCES ELEGANZA!” Zazu cheers. ~ The racers chat as they get ready for the main stage challenge. “So, does anyone have any idea what they’d like to do with the crowning money, if they were to win this season?” Yasmin smiles. “$100,000…” Zazu’s eyes light up. “I’ve already made $10,000…” Aguacate smirks. “I cannot wait to make another $115,000.” “115?” Jaslene says, confused. “This, next week, the week after that. Final 3.” Aguacate grins. “Gosh, I don’t even plan for those things…” Jaslene chuckles. “Same.” Yasmin smiles. “I’m here for the ride…” Aguacate looks at Yasmin. “But you know, I’m here to win and give my all too, so that’s good to know.” Yasmin chuckles, as Aguacate nods. “For me, this money would go back to my community- with some for myself.” Omari nods. “I value the scene, and- the reality is there isn’t much. I am one of a few Kings- in a scene with a few drag artists. I want the power to be invested back in it.” “I feel the same.” Yasmin smiles. “The scene in Guyana isn’t like those more- mainstream countries. I will support and guide others, so people know- we’re here, we’re queer, get used to it.” “Fuck yeah.” Omari snaps his fingers in agreement. “I will use it for myself, and my girls.” Jaslene smiles. “We’re all supportive of each other- my drag sisters and me. And I want them to feel the love.” “I’ve got the same idea for my drag mom.” Zazu nods. “She’s saved me, and I’d love to help her.” Fiore nods, looking over. “I’d love to help my parents.” Aguacate looks in the mirror. “I think- I think they’d need it.” “Think?” Omari asks. Aguacate shrugs, clearly not interested in continuing further. “Either way, this competition, this moment- we’re all going away, with money, pride- and the ability to change our lives, forever.” Fiore glares into the mirror. “Exactly.” Yasmin smiles. The 6 look at each other, ready for the night ahead. ~ Stats Voting Spreadsheet submitted by AustralianChrono to RPDRfantasyseason [link] [comments] |

- Learn about the future of media and code — the front-end and backend of the internet — so you can focus your efforts.
- Understand digital leverage, distribution, no-code tools, and digital assets so you can take part in the mental & financial wealth transfer.
Phase 1) Creating A Meaningful Niche Every day I hear people going on and on about trying to find their niche.I also hear people talking about how they don’t know how to combine what they love talking about with what will sell.You already have the answer. You just don’t have the clarity. - Develop a long-term strategy to create your own niche — meaning you don’t have to worry about your “competition” playing status games.
- Discover your life’s work, curiosities, and obsessions. I see too many people that are uncertain about this for years.
- Cultivate and turn your vision, goals, and values into a brand that attracts an audience you love interacting with (and that will buy from you, and only you).
Phase 2) Content Strategy There is one thing that separates those who make it in the digital economy and those who don’t.It’s the quality, articulation, and perceived originality of their content.The content you post has to make sense to the people you attract.Everyone has a different voice and tone that they resonate with. That they are congruent with and trust.It has to change their thought patterns or behavior — that’s what makes you memorable.That’s what separates you from the sea of people posting surface-level copy-cat style posts.Example and putting my money where my mouth is: - Become an expert-level speaker or writer on the topics you care about.
- Never run out of content ideas for your posts or promotions (without using content templates — that’s how you stay a commodity).
- Create posts, blogs, tweets, images, and videos that resonate with other’s on a deep level. People will actually ask you how you got so good at what you do.
- Separate yourself from the ocean of B-tier creators that struggle to sell their products, services, andhave their ideas stick in the head of their audience.
- Implement our Epistemic Research Method — which is just a fancy way of saying scientific research method… but it’s for researching your mind to craft brilliant content and product ideas.
Phase 3) Crafting Your Offer Most people are sitting on a goldmine of skills, experience, and knowledge ( that they can use to help people 1-2 steps behind them).That is what people pay for.Considering 95% of the market are beginners… if you are good at something, you can help them get to your level ( no matter how “basic” you think the information is).Do you not watch basic content all day anyway? People don’t want new information, they want to be reminded of what works. - Use our Minimum Viable Offer strategy to start monetizing immediately (and have something to improve over time, rather than procrastinating until it’s perfect).
- Have a strategy for reducing the time you spend working over time (as you build leverage and improve your offer).
- Know how to create your own customers from the audience you are building, instead of “finding” the right customer for your offer.
- Take the guesswork out of building coaching, consulting, or digital product offers.
Phase 4) Marketing Strategy You aren’t making money because you aren’t promoting yourself or your offer.That is literally the only way to make money. Have something desirable and consistently put it in front of peoples’ faces.In Phase 4, I will show you how to systemize, automate, and be consistent with simple promotions.You will be able to make money without having the chance of forgetting to do it (or letting fear of failure get in the way). - Learn to sell on social media, in your writing, and across different platforms.
- Have consistent sales coming in while focusing on your meaningful message (no need to sound salesy all the time).
- Learn advanced automation strategies that you can implement at your own pace, especially once you validate your offer.
Bonus) The Creator Command Center The Creator Command Center is a Notion template that houses all of the systems.This is how you will manage your brand, content, offer creation, marketing strategy, and systemized promotions for consistent sales. Bonus) Live Product Build & Launch In the first Digital Economics Cohort, I built out my course The 2 Hour Writer.I have videos showing how I build it with the strategies in phase 3 and 4.There is a bonus module that shows how I had an $85,000 launch that resulted in my first $100K month.I did this to prove the strategies inside Digital Economics work if you stick to the plan. And, this past Black Friday, I blew my that monthly high out of the water in 4 days.That’s the power of these strategies if you stay consistent with your life’s work. submitted by AutoModerator to GenkiCourses_Cheapest [link] [comments] |
2023.06.09 22:57 Ok_Department7005 Am I in my own way?
I’ve been with my bf for 2 years now. Unbeknownst to me he was in a relationship when we first started hooking up. I had my suspicions so I ghosted him. Then I found out I was pregnant, and contacted him to let him know. I initially wanted to return baby to sender because Even though I didn’t have 100% proof I just knew he wasn’t single. I didn’t want a side baby either. I’m nobody’s side chick.
Fast forward he ends things with the girl and during the pregnancy I chose to keep us at coparents. He needed time to get over that I refuse to be the rebound girl. It took a while for me to even consider something more than my child’s father after the baby, but once I did it was nice… at first.
In the beginning he would be loving, reassuring, and beyond supportive. We got into an argument about a slip up on his part. Something he said didn’t add up. After a while of not letting he deflect he finally admitted he did have a gf when we first met. I was disgusted at the truth but we were a year in at the point. I felt betrayed because he lied about how many sexual encounters he had around that time too. I didn’t find out the latter until much later.
Ever since that conversation he’s always accusing me of cheating or trying to cheat. I’ve never cheated a day in my life. The accusations are becoming too much to handle. It’s starting to make me feel like he’s cheating again and I’m honestly ready to end this relationship, figure out a good coparenting strategy, and move on with life.
Idk if I’m being too harsh but you lose them how you got them right ?
