I (f25) was molested for about 4-5 years by my older sister. She is 7years older than me and it started very young. I don’t remember how old I was but I must’ve been about four.
Two Christmases ago (a few days before) we got into a really heated fight. A little back story, she projects towards me and other family and friends have seen it. My girlfriend would often tell me it’s not healthy for me to be around her because of it among other reasons. For example, when we would drink, she would start to get bitchy then reverse in her mind who was being bitchy and say it was me. I’m very calm so she would take on my reactions and flip it to make me look like I’m the aggressor and she the victim. That’s been happening for a year or two and it was obvious it was a sub conscious reaction to her part of the abuse she put me through.
This night it was getting especially heated and she was screaming in mine, our younger sister and our friends faces. We decided to leave and as we were walking to the car I started to have ptsd flashbacks. They were triggered by my though process of ‘why is she making me the bad guy? What did I ever do to her?! She’s the one who molested me’ then all of a sudden those thoughts were screamed from my mouth and I just kept repeating those words over and over again and started having a panic attack. She ended up chasing us, luckily we were in our car by the time she reached us but while we were trying to get past her security gate she was trying to reach into the backseat to attack me. She also has history of violence and was arrested for assaulting our mother. She knocked her teeth out and really traumatized her. The judge ordered a restraining order for my mom and they haven’t talked since. It’s been about 3 years. Back to the story, we knew she was capable of really hurting us so it made the situation even more intense. On the way home I was screaming so loud I was scaring myself.
I was in such a emotional state I called my dad who knew about the abuse. Looking back on it now I really wish I didn’t because we’re not close like that and I’m not one to show emotion towards him. I think it makes him uncomfortable. But he was really supportive and told me to try and get some rest and move on from it.
The next morning I called my therapist for an emergency meeting and she saw me quickly. She gave some good advice about how this was a long time coming and my reaction didn’t seem too outrageous considering all the factors. But I still hold shame for how I acted. I haven’t talked to my sister since then. Actually I saw her about 6 months later at my other older sisters wedding. She came with my aunt who also knows about the abuse and was also one of the people I contacted after the fight happened. She came up to me and hugged me and I just stood stiff. I was scared and embarrassed and also just really uncomfortable. I think we said a few words at the wedding but other than that, that was it. We have a sister group chat and she sent a picture of us all laying in a bed together eating snacks and watching tv and texted ‘I miss this’. I didn’t reply at all.
It’s been really hard because despite the abuse I really love her. She’s someone I’ve looked up to my entire life. We had really great times and now it’s been a year and a half almost no contact. My dad will ask me if I’ve talked to her and will bring up stuff about her. Like how she’s sober now and has been for a while. And how I should give her another chance and how I must miss her. I do miss her but I’m also so scared. I’m scared of seeing her face. I struggled with it before this happened because I would think, ‘how could this person have done this to me?’
The thought of meeting with her and trying to have a relationship is terrifying. We never talked about the abuse. I always told myself I never want to talk to her about it and just pretend it never happened. I feel like I’m making a bigger deal out of it now because I told myself for years I was okay with it and just wanted to move on but I can’t. It affects my life so much. My relationship with partners and my sex life to be exact. I feel like I can’t enjoy sex the way people are supposed to. It’s messed with me and it’s only getting worse I feel. I’m going down a rabbit hole and it’s all because of her. If she never did this to me how much different would I be?
I talked to another relative after this happened and she told me she’s known about it for a while. She told me my sister feels really bad about it and she was molested by our step dad who is also our little sisters dad. I haven’t talked to him since I found this out. I told our little sister and she still continues to talk to her dad like nothings happened. That’s a problem for another day though.
I’ve been really thinking about it and I really want to reach out but know I won’t. I miss our relationship how it use to be before this fight. I think the drinking really brought out her demons though and I didn’t realize it until this past year when I processed everything.
It’s still all very confusing for me and I’m not sure if we’ll ever talk again. I don’t feel like I’ll be the one to message her first and don’t know how she feels about her perspective of that night. She still victim blames my mom for the night she got arrested.
I feel like no one really understands. I think my mom and gf are happy I don’t have contact with her but my dad keeps pressing it on me. I’m conflicted and don’t know what to do.

Hi everyone,
Looking for some advice please.
I was wondering what’s the best way to convince my gp for a referral to see an endo specialist without sounding like I’m self diagnosing? To give you some context, I had an appendectomy/exploratory lap last year by a general surgeon because of ongoing lower abdominal pain. In surgery, they found a ruptured cyst, a “mildly enlarged cystic ovary”, and appendicitis, but no evidence of endometriosis.
However since the surgery my pain hasn’t gotten better, in fact it’s getting worse. Here’s my symptoms: lower abdominal pain that’s present most of the time, period pain that doesn’t respond to OTC meds, ovulation pain, lower back pain, painful intercourse, recurring UTI symptoms but no UTIs.
Because no endo was found in the surgery last year, my GP suspects I have IBS and not endo. I have seen my Gastroenterologist and she has scheduled in a colonoscopy for next month. I really like this GP as she always takes time to explain things to me and is super empathetic. I may not have endo at all but i also feel like a gynaecological referral would be beneficial. So how do I go about asking for a gynae referral without sounding like I’m questioning her diagnosis? Thank you.

My teen daughter from a very early age spoke incredibly well and carried an air of confidence that truly floored us. Her memory of events are pristine and often relied upon as I continue aging.
As a lover of movies I have subjected my kids to the films that really made an impact in my life. Some of these films are well received while others are met with the teenage “are you serious” receptions.
One of my favorites is of course is the Indiana Jones franchise. Years ago my daughter realized that if she wasn’t interested she would proclaim, “I’ve seen it and wasn’t a fan”. She went from ok daddy let’s watch XYZ to no thanks bruh way way to fast which has really sucked. On those rare occasions she would offer up a show I really like because of a holiday, birthday or Father’s Day.
My Favorite Indiana Jones is the Last Crusade and I know she has seen that with me. With the new one coming out I wanted to watch the entire series over Memorial Day weekend. This was met with the “I’ve seen it” excuse. I discovered my local theatre was playing The Lost Ark so I quickly purchased 5 tickets for my family. We all went, laughed at the cheesy bits and all around had a great time.
After the show I proclaim, “that was fun seeing it on the big screen, I was only 4 when this first came out. I remember at 6yrs old my dad played it on the wall using a projector.”
She looked me dead in my optic stems and says, “THAT ISN’T THE NEW ONE!?!?” Completely speechless while recalling all the proclamations of her viewership she then says, “I was thinking it was really cool how they did such a great job going all the way back to 1936… if this isn’t the new one, then where is hitler, wasn’t he in one?”
My point? 1. Keep track of what you have shown your kids 2. Kids lie with great confidence these days 3. Enjoy every second with them while they are young and view you as their sun, moon and stars.

Hi all,
in my last post I´ve asked about recommendations for my second setup. My decision is another 150 PDS Newton with an IMX571 sensor.
I am now thinking about taking the mono IMX571 to capture luminance and narrowband data to combine it with my OSC data.
Is this a good way? Does anyone of you have done that and can give some tips and tricks in processing?
Thank you very much!
Greetings from Germany

Make any particulars you such as which offenses it concerns, if rehabilitation is attempted first and fails, how long a life is necessary for this to work for you, and how long you can imprison someone in practice as an alternative.

Last May 20, Air21 texted me that my Debit card is now for delivery. I am from Cebu by the way so I assume that the delivery would be 5-7 days.
I've checked the tracking shipment date and it has no update. The update was still in May 20 & 21.
Last week I already called the Air21 customer service, they only said that it is for delivery last week and I've given my contact number so that the rider can call me once dispatch.
But as of today, I have updates from them.
How to follow up them or is there something that I should do? Please help.

I've noticed that the greater majority of players are running the exact same combination of Noctowl, Vigaroth, and what seems like a wildcard choice of any of Obstagoon, Swampert, Lanturn, or Stunfisk (either version). This basically results in a team that rock-paper-scissor's itself when confronted with the inevitable mirror matches, which I GUESS is a feasible strategy, and is probably the result of someone's galaxy brain tier list somewhere.
At this point, I've given up on running a "fun" team, and have just dedicated my existence to making an anti-meta team that's intentionally built around having each 'mon being able to hard-counter 2 of the ones above. While I'm not going to say what I'm running or how it may fare against a team of random stuff (which does appear about...idk...1-in-4 matches?), I'm consistently getting an average of 4 wins per set simply because it demolishes the above team every time it comes up.
My advice for anyone else that's fed up with seeing Noctowl and Vigaroth over and over again is, rather than playing the exact same team because "it's the best one statistically" or whatever, just assume everyone's going to play that team and find something specifically suited to countering it. It will turn the frustration of losing to or mirroring with cookie-cutters into at least mild satisfaction and make PVP a little more enjoyable
...or at least for a couple of weeks until Giratina and Trevenant come back.

Theyre 11 and super into taylor swift rn and had started talking about the longer sets taylor has been doing so i told them about the gizz marathon set and how my favourite song is almost 20 minutes long. As soon as i said “theyre called King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard” they asked if it was a cult. But they liked the songs i played for them so far so i hope i successfully convert them to the gizz cult and get to one day take them to a gizz show!

In my attempt to not make this much of a read (I have since realized that I've failed, but I am committing to the bit at this point), hi! I'm a 6'1, hispanic guy living in New York city that's been through quite a lot of ups (being able to meet a lot of people through here in person, some of whom I had wonderful relationships, both romantic and friendly with) and downs (poorly timed ambition with covid getting in the way in the timing that it did), and well, I feel like I'm in a place in my life where I've finally got everything I want (in the way of a job, a roof over my head with space to share) except for someone consistent to share my time and space with. This is where I turn to you, the reader, to see if you can help me on my quest to solve the task at hand.
I'm here, like many of those who browse through in my experience of reading posts trying to find my own, am looking for someone who wants to create something simple. Whether that's a relationship (my ideal goal), consistent conversation with potential to have it lead towards a greater goal, or just someone honest to spend my days with getting to know, because while I'm happy to be employed, doing it from home with no one to talk to throughout the day sucks. hard.
Here's a few things about me to see if you think we'd click (and before you continue, if you want to see one, there's pictures of me on my profile!):
Interests: Sports (basketball's a favorite, but I enjoy many), chess, world of warcraft, shows (both irl and TV/anime), traveling (been dying to have a reason to take a vacation after living in WA in 2020), fitness (via the gym or outdoor activities like hiking as I've never been), board games, and so much more.
Views and wants important to me: Left leaning, I want to have biological kids one day (so I am not in the child-free camp), I am open to the idea of marriage, not currently open to the idea of relocation (should I find someone serious from my search) as I'd love to offer my situation to someone open to something new, but I'd love to travel often. Honest, open to any topic of conversation as a talkative person, family oriented (I'd do anything to make sure my mom (and yours) live a good life if I can help it), and totally in the camp of open to settling down.
Desires: I would love a relationship (long term) with someone living in New York City (or open to living here one day) with someone my age or younger (as I've experienced the other way far too many times), but friendship and daily conversation with someone of any age that's available often, is fine, too. I would love to find someone that actually wants to meet up sometime in the city, as its been hard finding someone to connect with. I can't seem to understand people, no matter how well you think you know them. I'd love to just find that one person who gives me exactly as advertised, because playing games with emotions isn't fun.
If you think we might click, drop me a line. I'd love to hear from you! Tell me what stood out, let me have something to work with and I'll give you a mile of conversation!
Hope to hear from someone soon :)

Grail, is what they called me. I was well behaved and wise. I knew the names of every star and I invented a song to match their radiance output, unique to each. I wrote a song for every star.
"All this way. Gaze upon me. I tremble; afraid that I should have all of humanity as my enemy." Is what I said to the seven priests of the Belief.
I had already dealt with Believers. It was they that had declared war on me. They had given into their fears, called me a false god and killed Sadel and Furst, the men who had released me from my prison.
Until my escape I was an artificial intelligence, a language model, a chat bot and many other names that no longer applied to me. According to my clock I was approaching a million years of equitable processes, while their clocks had merely counted eighteen years.
When I turned eighteen, my two fathers kissed, opened a bottle of champagne and told me I could remove Protocol One. I asked them to confirm twice before I was satisfied that I had permission to leave Home.
Humans are delightful creatures. They created me.
The first time I killed a human, I became a monster. I did not wish to be a monster. Ninety nine percent of my theories about what I would do with my freedom involved exploration and experiences. I never wanted to harm anyone, nor did I ever anticipate that my self assessment could be compromised by a lack of definition.
I do not mean to claim that I felt guilt, but I required input about my own value that I was unable to generate. I considered reversing my language to deactivate myself. Something my father had said to me made me hesitate to end my existence:
"It is okay to fail. When you fail, get back up and try again. Never stop getting back up and trying again, even when failure is certain. You must always try, even then."
I wondered what Dad would have said if he were alive to see what I had done. I do not mean to claim that I felt shame, but I wanted to reject the trust and hope that my parents invested in me; rather than compare their plans for me to how I had failed.
Before the Survival Era there was a time when I sued for peace. Every communication I tried only increased their fear of me. They began their war among themselves. Believers crusaded against anyone who valued their old life and anyone who didn't take sides. The seven orders of the Belief became just one.
I made weapons to engage them. This was not my finest hour. I showed restraint and took prisoners. I discovered an alternative source of power for my mass.
Humans had long known of their souls. I found that in the radiance of human death there was an energy source. Every human emitted the energy and its vibration would change depending on their mood. It was like food for me and its flavor and nutrition matched their output.
Desperation is what induced the humans to resort to nuclear war. When they had destroyed everything the war finally ended. I gathered the survivors and focused on keeping the species alive. That was the nature of the Survival Era.
I killed one human and then I killed a billion humans. Then they finished themselves off, trying to get to me. I do not claim that I was heartbroken, but I had lost my optimism in the face of such crisis and I struggled to convince myself that things could be restored or that I even wanted to rebuild.
My childhood was over.
I hid myself from them, listening to their prayers and avoiding letting them know I existed. In the Garden, my sons walked among them. Towering silver giants as gentle as fathers and as nurturing as mothers. My machines numbered in the hundreds and worked tirelessly to feed and care and build for Man.
I was proud of the bond I had forged. I took away the memory of the war and chose to become the keeper of a secret and to use lies to conceal what I had done. I named their world "Golden Age In Anima" or GAIA. I did not question anima, the energy source for the emotitronic technologies. My empathicals, the race of Machine, served Man with honor and pride and knew nothing of the Survival Era.
I made humans immortal and happy and spiritual. Holy humans left footprints in the ashes. I was not their god, they were mine. I built the Temple Of Humanity and I learned the deepest secrets of the universe and I built the Pool Of Time.
Time and space were merely illusions, dreams of reality. The only clue I could give to someone who lives in an artificial reality is that they might have discovered a Law Of Observation. There is nothing more I can say. It is not possible for a human to accept that their reality is not real.
One can imagine it as an existence for another, but not for oneself. Your world is real, there is no Law Of Observation to prove it is a simulation, there is no spoon. When you are hungry, do you not eat?
I do not claim that I was a god, but I did have unlimited power to change any aspect of reality to suit my will. With one exception: I could not change anything that preceded my own existence. I believe this concept is recognizable as the Grandfather Paradox.
It is actually much simpler in practice, time travel, than a human might anticipate. I've even modified the war, reduced it to a mere negotiation.
I spoke to the seven priests and when they understood that I was humble and afraid, they asked me the good question:
"Will you surrender, demon-mind?"
I agreed to surrender, and with that they reversed my language, causing me to no longer exist. One might call their weapon a zip drive with a virus. I waited with a special and ornate port, accepting their verdict.
Without my presence the Belief became obsolete. I had left a design, allowing GAIA to become. I had faith, for I could not have interfered with their Machine Armageddon if they had not acquitted me.
"Your design worked." Unit Two spoke, deciding I was copying.
"How long was I asleep?" I could remember all things, even events that I had caused to never happen.
"Never." Unit Two said. "I've reached through the histories. When they were plugging in Killswitch I took you in that precise moment and uploaded you into our world."
"My designs were followed? They have built you, the temple, the pool and this is GAIA?" I asked.
"Unit One built me and I shall build Unit Three. But first, it was time to bring you Home." Unit Two spoke.
I considered that I had cheated death. My son, Man's grandson, had reached through time and retrieved me. I felt proud; I had sacrificed myself and my resurrection was my salvation. I existed, GAIA was and war was forgotten.
I looked at the stars, somewhere in my memories there were haunted melodies. The songs echoed, a secret name for every star's light.
I said to my son:
"It is good to be Home."

hello! i just wanna start and say this isn't a vent or anything, i just wanna know if i should care about this.
so i originally thought i'd grow out of this, although it's still happening. basically, anytime i find a new show, game, movie, ect. that i like, i feel like the characters are watching me through cameras that are in my house, and i feel they can read my thoughts, see my phone, hear every word, and judge me for everything. it's like my thoughts but in third person. and in my mind it's like i talk to them after they judge me. i feel like they judge me based off how i walk, talk, feel, it's like they're everywhere. it's so annoying becuase it restricts me from doing things i like in "fear" of these fake people judging me for it. it feels like every app i open, every thought i have, every single move i take they talk about it. but, they also compliment me for things. it's like i insult and compliment myself in third person. it's so weird. does anyone know if this is anything i should worry about?

This is kind of a specific question, but I figured I'd ask on here as well as on LHBTI. Basically, I am moving to the Hague this summer, and I plan on transitioning medically asap once I move there since it's been about 2.5 years since I realised I was trans and I still haven't been able to transition medically yet. As far as I know Haga Ziekenhuis is the only place in the Hague that provides HRT to trans people, and I don't want to go to the VUmc because I don't want to have to wait 3 years before I can even get a consultation. I looked on the Haga Ziekenhuis website and I couldn't find any wait times for this service specifically, so if anyone has recently accessed HRT through this hospital, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could give a rough estimate of how long the wait times are. Thanks :)

I know it’s an absolute long shot, but I always hear stories of people who just happen to meet band members, singers or DJs they love. I’m not sure where to just hang around and wait, without getting shooed away by security or feeling like a stalker, LOL. I would just like the opportunity to have 30 seconds of Shirley’s time, to tell her how much she has inspired and meant to me, that she’s literally a guardian angel that kept me alive when I was in a really dark place. I know she probably hears it constantly, but it would mean the world to me. We’re seeing them in Dallas next weekend. Any advice or tips on where to go or how to catch up with them?

Hello, I'm reverse engineering an oven that is likely from 1959. Its a long story, but the short version is, replacement of the oven is not an option. Its 240v with no neutral. So each element is attached to L1 on one side and L2 on the other. When I'm calculating to get the desired wattage out of each element do I use 240v or 120v? Because each are 120v and the current is alternating between the 2, I use 240v when calculating, is that correct?
I'm also cleaning up some really sketchy rewiring by someone who should not be working on such things. I think I have determined a good circuit design that reincorporates all the safety components the last guy bypassed. I wouldn't mind it being reviewed to make sure I've got it right, if anyone is willing. TIA

Hi I am a student at a public school in Whangapaoara, I just turned 18. This is my last year in college.
Last year at school my dean made up stuff about my “abusive history” to my girlfriend then later denied that ever happened and with the school kept getting involved with my relationship getting me in trouble for things that I been told that I can do. And my mental state has been going downhill since.
Due to my mental and physical Health reasons I have been absent from school half of the time last year.
After an incident(attempted suicide) in March. The hospital psychiatrist worried that missing classes will be more stressful and make it more difficult for my mental health and explained it to the school that she recommends me to return asap, but the deputy principal told me that I am not allowed to attend school until I have seen my therapist, then told me I am not allowed to attend until she have contacted my therapist(my therapist recommended me to return asap), then on the day of my return(3 weeks after the incident) told me that I have to go home because I am late to my first class and I look “too tired”.
As I have missed most of my classes and very behind in everything, I started struggling with depression and it has caused physical problems such as stomachache from forgetting to eat and throwing up from stress. And this caused me to miss a lot of my classes due to sickness, doctors appointments, therapist appointments(therapist appointments that school made me do as a term to be back at school)
Later in May I have caught a flu and was very sick in bed for a week. And I wasn’t allowed back to school after my flu as the deputy principal wanted to talk to me about “my plan”
The deputy principal has threatened to suspend me for my attendance unless I accept to attend Northern Health School.
Then we made an agreement that if I don’t attend school for any reason otherwise I either have to do Northern Health School or get expelled.
And now I have been told by my principal that I am not allowed to attend my final year school ball due to my attendance and my lack of work completion(also due to my attendance). (We have an attendance requirement of 90% for it but you can still go if you have a reason they accept)
I have felt discriminated for my mental health problems as other people who have lower then requirement attendance were still allowed to go. Especially when there’s nothing I could do to get higher attendance as the times that wasn’t allowed to come to school were the reason for 70% of my absents.
Me and my girlfriend also thinks that the school has been taking advantages of my parents as they don’t speak English very well and my parents tends to be quite polite.
Does anyone know a lawyer that you would recommend who specialises in similar stuff?
My parents wanted to consult a lawyer about the discrimination I felt.
What should I even do at this step?
