Word of war poe

I thought I would give the 30Plus sub a shot as well!
Hi I’m Joe. I’m a dad, and currently divorced and single. I have a young daughter, who is with me half the time, and she’s the best! One of the best things to ever happen to me. I also have two dogs who are getting up there in age. One is a black lab mix and the other is an Australian cattle dog mix. If you are interested in what I look like, you can find SFW pictures of myself on my profile. I’m tall (6’3”), and chubby.. but I am working on that last part. I really like my hair and beard so if you like that too, even better.
I would describe myself as empathetic, compassionate, emotionally available with a lot of depth, a good communicator and listener, and someone who always sees the good in people. I have faults. I am far from perfect. I’m not messy, but my house is usually in some sort of disarray. Haha. I’m a good conversationalist, especially if the energy is matched and we are connecting well. I’ve done these R4R posts before, but really, I am looking for someone to connect with genuinely and see where it goes. Romantic or otherwise. I would prefer someone in the Midwest, USA, if things go well and we want to meet. However, I am open to connecting with anyone.
Some of my interests and hobbies are things like good TV and movies, video games, DIY projects, music/making playlists, union organizing/activism, Coke Zero (I drink too much of this stuff, haha), sports (watching/fantasy football), and other interests. Hoping we can connect on some of these, it’s good to have common interests and ground. I am a leftist when it comes to politics. LGBTQAI+ lives matter. BLM. These are non-negotiable. I don’t debate or play with people’s rights to exist and have equal and equitable opportunities, and neither should you. 420 friendly - I like the occasional edible. Preferences on communicating are texting, audio messages, and video messages/calls – in that order. I don’t expect us to be sending audio or video messages right off the bat, haha.
A few more random facts:

• Just turned 37 (I’m a Pisces)
• Sober (from alcohol)
• GGG
• Marvel/MCU nerd
• Union leader
• For some reason I still have all fifty US states and capitals memorized
• Two truths and a lie: 1. I was a driver for Bernie Sanders 2. I never got COVID-19 3. I was a professional beer pong player in my early 20s [If you get this far, feel free to tell me which you think is the lie!]

I am excited to hear from you. I am looking for someone with similar interests and principles. I can be a bit of a talker, fyi. Please feel free to share a picture of yourself if you want to, or after we get to talking.
Joe

There are anime that make you cry or make you laugh. There are anime that have a few compelling characters or get you to cheer for the main couple. Or really despise the Villain. But rarely is there something that does all of it. But this show does.
It hits you in all the feels. One moment, it's got you rolling around in laughter the next. It's got you weeping either from joy or sadness. And yet the transition feels natural, not out of place at all. Character who are all so amazing you cheer for every one of them and cry with them in their hardships. A villain who is so evil yet so relatable and whose's 2nd chance feels kinda deserved even if hard to accept. Particularly cause you really wanna honor what Tohru stood for.
This show is a master class in character writing. It's a master class in writing about tough topics like loss, grief, abuse, and forgiveness. It teaches you how to heal. I also loved the flow of Tohru and Kyo's relationship. It felt so much more natural than most shoujo. Things being drawn out was so much more earned and made more sense. The growth reminded me a lot of what I liked about Toradora. Them being really close and supportive friends first.
I also loved getting the inner thoughts of the characters. It can often not work in a show or movie. But here it did and was used to great effect. I like how often you didn't know if it was being said in their minds or out loud. The culmination of this being when Tohru's mom was dying, and only the last bit of her inner thoughts came out as actual words for Kyo to hear . Damn did that hit hard. Not to mention what was said in the moment felt so real and what would actually be going through your mind in a moment like that. It just crushed me.
I think the only thing I would like different is the 3rd season being longer. I wasn't bad, but it could have used a little more breathing room. Some of the resolutions were a lil rushed. I also thought the ending was great with the fakeout of Tohru and Kyo being grandparents, showing they lived a long, happy life .
This show is gonna be really hard to beat. I'm definitely gonna read the manga now!
Anyway, thanks for letting me gush about this show!

There was no rationale for pain. Dallion was fully aware that Nil had been manipulating him for centuries and more, and yet refusing to his face made him feel as if he’d lost a friend. It was easy to claim that it was the lingering effects of emotional blackmail, the overall stress he was subjected to, or some other rational reason. At the same time, Dallion knew all that to be a bunch of crap. The reason Dallion was feeling what he was had nothing to do with the echo or even the mage behind him; the pain came because in a way Dallion couldn’t honestly say he was any different. Several of his main skills were based on manipulation. Every time he used music skills or engaged the abilities of his empathy trait, he was making people, animals, and guardians do what he wanted. The degree varied, but there was never any doubt what he was doing. And the most absurd thing of it—for the most part, no one seemed to care all that much. It was the fight with the Star that had changed everything.
“He’s gone,” one of Dallion’s echoes approached him. “Back to your realm, if I had to guess.”
Dallion didn’t respond.
“We all know it’s messed up, but you know such things happened in this world. Even before you learned, he was the archmage you had your suspicions. Did you think he’d be any different from the other beings of power you’d come across? Two of them tried to take over the world in the past.”
No, I suppose not, Dallion said to himself.
“He was right about one thing, though. You need to rest. We can pause for a few hours so you can take a nap.”
“No.” Dallion briskly turned around. “No naps. I’ll just sit down for a bit.”
“Right. Better than nothing, I guess.” Dallion’s echo shrugged. “Just set your thoughts in order. Would be annoying if Nil ended up being right.”
Dallion sat on the floor and drew a light symbol. It wasn’t strong, just enough to provide a calming blue glow.
“Oh, and I’m sure Eury doesn’t see you that way,” the echo added.
“What way?” Dallion instinctively asked.
“Like Adzorg.”
While it was nice to be reassured by someone, it would have been better if that someone wasn’t an identical copy of himself. Distance was starting to play a part to the point that he considered her a memory. Sometimes the memories would stir him to action, but all it took was another event to make him forget just as much.
Guess you were right about that as well, Nil, Dallion thought. If he wanted his relationship to last, he was going to have to work on it, and that meant leaving the Academy. Either that or—
​
REALM COLLAPSED
​
A green rectangle appeared.
​
REALM BREAKER
(+5 MIND)
You have successfully destroyed a prison realm from within. Just be mindful that doesn’t make you unstoppable, just persistently annoying.
​
The suddenness kept Dallion from focusing on the unexpected achievement. Instead, he mentally prepared to return to a fight he had started weeks ago.
Less than a second had passed in the real world; Phoil—or rather the symbiotic echo within him—had started the final attack, though he hadn’t had enough time to complete it.
Splitting into dozens of instances, Dallion leapt back. Not the best move, considering his enemy had an advantage at a distance. In a sword versus dagger fight, it was always better to remain as close as possible. However, Nil’s persistent warnings in the prison realm had managed to cause enough self-doubt for him to err on the side of caution.
Crystal fragments fell to the ground. The rectangles of moments ago hadn’t exaggerated.
Both sides instantly realized what had happened, then reacted appropriately: Phoil spun around, doing multiple circular arcs with his sword. Meanwhile, Dallion pulled off the blocker ring from his finger.
“Ruby, Gem, attack from a distance!” he ordered. Just then, Phoil burst into instances. No longer was it the meager three copies he used in the past. Over fifty instances of the boy appeared in the room, filling it completely.
Caught by surprise, Dallion tried to force split the situation, but his opponent countered. The mental force was far greater than Dallion had felt so far, almost as if he were facing a dragon. Someone with greater ability was attempting to force their version of reality. The tug of war continued for half a second, resulting in a stalemate. When reality hit, Phoil and Dallion were at different ends of the room, neither gaining the upper hand.
“So, the hunter knows tricks,” Phoil said. “I knew I should have gone for you first.”
“You aren’t a mage,” Dallion said, keeping six instances at the ready. “Who are you?”
The large boy just smiled, then burst into instances again and charged forward.
Ruby attempted a wave of wing slashes, but all of them were easily evaded. The echo controlling Phoil was exceptional at acrobatics as well as attack. Based on his movements, Dallion estimated him to be in his seventies, at least, possibly more.
Blades clashed. The Nox dagger, usually capable of shattering objects on touch, failed to cause even a crack on the shimmering surface of the sword. It seemed that the material had a few other added bonuses, which both Nil and Onda had neglected to mention.
Parrying the first attack, Dallion twisted his body, attempting a high kick at the side of the other’s face. The attack didn’t land. With lightning reflexes, Phoil let go of the sword, blocking the kick. Immediately after, he grabbed hold of Dallion’s ankle and took a step back.
The approach was both clever and perfectly executed. Even experienced fighters would have lost their footing, which was why Dallion didn’t even bother to do anything about it. Rather, he twisted his entire body, kicking Phoil in a series of different spots in five separate instances. In three of the cases, the results were less than desirable. In the remaining two, he managed to force his opponent to let go.
Ruby quickly intervened again, sending out a wing slash between the two. The attack hid Enroy‘s dead body, while at the same time preventing Phoil from charging forward again.
“You’re a noble,” Dallion said, using his music skills to affect his enemy with as much slowness and weight as possible. “Are you a count? A countess?”
“You’re so full of yourself.” The other smirked. “You think a count would waste his time on you?”
“Wouldn’t be the first time.”
Dozens of Dallion’s instances attempted to attack from different sides. All of them were constantly pushed back by Phoil’s own.
“I don’t have to kill you,” the large boy said. “Just to keep you here.”
The words sounded almost exactly like the platypain Dallion had faced recently.
“So, I can still ruin your plans?” Dallion took a step forward with his anchor instance.
“Some think that.” Phoil slashed the air with his sword. As he did, Dallion felt a slight tingling in his ears. “Music only when no one knows you’re using it.” More instances of the boy emerged, rushing forward.
Line attack! Dallion thought, doing a horizontal slice.
Any reasonable person knew that performing such an attack indoors was a terrible idea. The entire structure risked crumbling, say nothing of the dozens if not hundreds of casualties on the outside. Being in a mage’s room changed things. For a split second, purple symbols appeared as they shined through the surface illusions that covered every part of the building. Before the line of destruction had a chance to form, a loud bang erupted, everyone was tossed right at the walls behind them. Even Ruby was thrust up, drilling into the ceiling like a razor blade into cheese.
The air was knocked out of Dallion’s lungs as his back slammed against the hard surface. Waves of pain and suffocation swept through him, almost making him black out. The force disappeared, letting him peel onto the floor, gasping for air.
At the other side of the room, Phoil hadn’t been so lucky. His awakened nature had let him survive the encounter with the wall, though unconscious. Only the faint noise coming from him told Dallion that the boy remained alive.
“Gem, can you heal him?”
Err, okay, the aetherfish replied. Unlike Ruby, the familiar hadn’t been particularly useful during the fight, spending most of the time observing in utter confusion. Fortunately, healing magic was something it was fully capable of.
Dallion forced himself up. He was in considerable pain, though nothing he couldn’t handle thanks to his high body trait. Limping slightly, he made his way to Enroy’s body. There was no question that the man was dead, pierced through the torso, then suffering additional wounds during the fight between Phoil and Dallion.
“Sorry about this,” Dallion whispered. Barely knew the man, and definitely didn’t like him, but didn’t want such an outcome.
Casting a spell to summon a blanket, Dallion covered the body, then went to the unconscious Phoil. With him rendered unconscious, he posed no threat. The echo controlling him had been formidable indeed, but all the skill couldn’t compensate for low traits.
Bending down, Dallion took the Vermillion ring off the boy’s finger, then retrieved the silver glass sword. The weapon felt like a natural fit, as if it belonged to him.
“What’s the way out?” Dallion asked as he used his own Vermillion ring to transport the sword to his realm. “Nil?” he added.
There are emergency exits scattered throughout the building. All you need to do is find one and use a specific unlock spell. Alternatively, you can use a Vermillion ring to pass through.
That was interesting. So, Phoil had come prepared in more ways than one. His goal had been to kill Enroy and Dallion, then leave. That was reassuring—it meant that there was a way to avoid the shardflies outside.
“You alright, Ruby?” Dallion glanced at the ceiling.
The shardfly was trembling with such speed that it was outright vibrating. Gradually, its winds moved back out of the ceiling, allowing the creature to re-emerge.
“Anything broken?”
No, the insect said, even if it were plainly visible that his wings were chipped in several places. Flying along a spiral, it made its way to Dallion’s shoulder.
“Lux will take care of you.” Dallion then retrieved his blocker ring from the floor. “Gem, keep him alive. If he or anyone tries to attack you, vanish.”
Okay, boss, the aetherfish replied.
Gritting his teeth to best ignore the pain that came with every step, Dallion left the room, then the building altogether. The situation in the corridor was just as bad as he remembered it. A few elder mages were making an attempt to forcefully impose order, but even they found it difficult with the number of panicking apprentices. This complicated things somewhat. If Dallion tried to run, there was every chance he’d be spotted and stopped. To avoid this, he calmly made his way towards the staircase section, keeping as closely as possible to the nearby buildings.
His effort paid off. Although slow and painful, the trip off the floor wasn’t interrupted. Once on the first floor, things went a lot more smoothly. At one point, he even had an apprentice shout at him to hurry up and get back to his room. Since that was Dallion’s intention, he complied, forcing himself to run as quickly as possible.
If you keep this up, you’ll faint in a minute, Nil said.
“A minute is all I need,” Dallion hissed through his teeth. He was almost at his door. His vision had gotten slightly blurry, and yet he pushed on. Collapsing in the corridor was out of the question. A concerned mage, or apprentice, or even a well-meaning fellow novice was enough to end his chance of leaving the Learning Hall.
Gripping the handle, Dallion opened the door and stumbled inside.
“Lux,” he managed to say. “Heal me.”

just started playing god of war 2018 and i just got to lake of nine, but i cant seem to get out. atreus says he needs more of the cipher to translate what i would assume would be something to help open that massive gate. where do i find the cipher??
i tried looking up walkthroughs but they all seem to go to a separate area i havent gone to yet before they reach lake of nine. should i just restart my game? i dont know what to do

I work for a family twice a week, 7:30-4:30 M and W. NK is 1.5yrs old (21 months). I’ve worked for them for only a month and a half. Dad is at home, place is big and when he works he’s invisible, but also she doesn’t seem to mind/doesn’t go to him or ask for him. He helps when things escalate.
Anyways, the problem is NK has awful meltdowns where she throws herself down and convulses, and becomes inconsolable. It’s scary. I know meltdowns are normal, and I’ve certainly dealt with my fair share of them working with kids, but never to this extent. It seems she is always on the brink of it escalating to an 11.
I have to be extremely cautious and keep her from escalating. My whole day is walking on eggshells. There are brief moments where it seems everything is ok, but let’s say for example I have to go pee, I say “I’ll be right back, I have to pee” and she says “no” and pulls me by the hand and is touchy from then on. And like, I REALLY have to pee. But if I go pee, she has a meltdown. Or she wants to go outside, she says “go outside” but it’s 30°F and snowing she she needs to wear pants, shoes, a jacket, which she sometimes wants nothing to do with any of those things, and freaks out if I try to put them on her or let her know she needs to.
Yes, I’ve tried many methods. Explaining, validating her being upset about whatever it is, distracting, being firm, being soft, giving a pacifier, picking her up and rocking her (when she gets to the point of crying), etc. Sometimes it works, and she is on to the next thing, and is regulated again. But what works is very inconsistent, it might work once but then not again for the same thing. Most times what “works” (getting her to do something she needs to but doesn’t want to, like put on shoes, or getting her to move on from something she CANT do, like take an enormous tree limb on the side of the road home) is distraction. More often than not, though, she cannot be pleased, and starts to throw a fit.
And she get really distressed very quickly. It’s hard to watch. She throws her body around, hits her head on things, arches her back if you try to pick her up, she’s hurt herself during these things in spite of best efforts of keeping her safe. After a certain point her dad comes and helps, and to be honest, he is not much more helpful than I am. He has the same methods except maybe some tricks and secrets up his sleeves of things she particularly likes. But that only helps seldom. These meltdowns can go on for a long time, hours, ebbing in and out of distress. She hasn’t napped without help from dad since the first two weeks a started working for them.
To note: She talks A LOT for her age, and supposedly has been talking for a while. But her words are all just her reciting the books she has read and the songs that she knows. And she knows TONs so she has basically something to recite for everything she does, but very few of her words are her own words, if that makes sense. She talks about herself in the third person saying things like, “she is mad” but she can’t/doesn’t communicate what she needs when she’s so upset, despite having a high vocabulary.
Her mom was home with her for the past 6 months and is back to work (why they hired me). Yes, I do think this is causing NK all this secondhand stress. But she his home 3-4 days a week,
Both her parents and I are very very gentle with her. Neither of her parents are mean or loud or aggressive with her, even when she’s using the full force of her body in her fits.
The most recent meltdown we were at the library, we walked there in stroller (about 20min walk). Did not want to leave. Would not go in stroller. Would not do anything. Stopped crying if I picked her up and held her, but how would we get home? I cannot carry her home like that. I tried doing something else and trying again later, tried letting her be upset and validating her, tried a lot of things. We were just trapped at the library. I called and had her dad come pick us up. I met my limit there, cried in the lobby with her, and that’s when I started thinking about quitting.
Is it unreasonable of me to quit? Does this behavior sound like anything any of you have dealt with before? I feel like, scared to do anything with her. And so tired.

Hello! Any word/opinion about Gigabyte B650i AORUS ULTRA for an ITX build?! Any good and bad about it?
Yesterday I watched a video overview of that board from Level1Techs on YT and it seemed to me to be a perfect B650 ITX motherboard, (among MSI B650i Edge WiFi, ROG Strix B650E-I and ASRock B650E PG-ITX) for my upcoming PC build (still not available here in my country but hopefully it will be at a some point). Thanks in advance!

I'm Korean woman(32, F), dating a man(20, M) who is working in U.S army.
I got to know him at Dating app(Bumble) and we have been talking for for a few months.
Our first dating is in the early of January, and we lived far away in different cities in Korea, so we slept over together at hotel at first date, and we did kiss or things, but we didn't have sex because I'm inexperienced but he understood me and though I didn't expect it, and he did so sweet to me, like kissing on my forehead and holding my hands, which is one of the reasons I felt comfortable with him. The next day, we parted away and I thought he would not wanna meet me again because I didn't have sex and I'm not that interested in him at first time.
After that, he sometimes sent messages to me, and after a few weeks later, he said me he likes me and wanted to hang out again but he couldn't have relationship with me since he had to leave Korea later, and he doesn't think LDR is work out. since then, we had been sharing our daily lives via Snapchat everyday and he seemed to care about me, but we couldn't hang out until March since our fist date in January because he had been busy for work and he went back to America for holidays almost for a month.
Finally, we met in the end of March, recently, and we promised to meet at a train station around 5:30 pm. I went to a new city for the first time in my life, and so I got lost in the train station, I became late for a date and met him at 6 pm. I felt sorry for him for being late.
Our date plan is to take an air balloon flight at first day, and to go to an amusement park next day, but I had to cancel air balloon flight because of inclement weather.
Originally, we planned to go to a nice restaurant, which takes a few days for me to find out information about restaurants, but he said he ate dinner already, which I felt embarrassing. At first time, I thought he ate dinner earlier, waiting for me but I found out that he ate dinner at 5pm, even though we were supposed to meet at 5:30pm. I asked him why you ate eat dinner before I'm arriving and he said that he ate dinner because he felt so hungry.
Anyways, since I became late, I could understand him about that. He said if I wanna go to restaurant, he can go with me, but he didn't wanna eat anything. since I don't wanna eat alone at a nice restaurant, and he promised me to go to restaurants tomorrow morning and lunch, we went to hotel right away. As soon as we arrived at a hotel, he tried to have sex with me though I wanted to watch a movie and talk with him and doing it later.
Actually, in the past, he asked me If I'm really virgin and I said yes. He asked me if I have any experience of masturbation, and I said I have never been masturbated myself since I don't think it's hygienic to my vagina.
At first date, he dine out at a nice restaurant, and after arriving hotel, we watched movie and saw tiktok together, and he didn't try to sex as soon as possible but this time was different, but this time, he put his hand in my inner wear right away, and tried to take off my pants, which I felt comfortable. When he touched my lower body, touching near my vagina, I felt more likely painful than feeling good though he tried to do it gently and go slower. Though he is quite experienced, he seemed to not find my vagina since it's my first time. Though I said I would have sex with him, I felt insecure and not ready, so I couldn't have sex with him(PIV sex) though I helped him to ejaculate by hand.
Before a date, he asked if I would ever shave down, and I heard shaving down is socially norm in his country, so I did Brazilian waxing for hygiene and it felt so painful, and I tried to make an effort to have sex with him this time. But he seemed to not feel good about it, and said If I would not have sex with him, we don't need to come hotel and rather go to an amusement park right away, Actually, I'm afraid that he would not go to an amusement park if I didn't agree to have sex, and I just like to be with him. unlike last time, when he held my hands and kissed on my forehead while sleeping, he said he felt tired and wanted to sleep since he slept 9 pm to 2 am last night. I asked him why didn't sleep last night and he said he just couldn't sleep. He asked me to turn off light at 9pm since we met at 6pm , and I had to eat dinner alone in a dark room, relying on TV light, which I didn't feel comfortable, and I wondered if he didn't go out with me, why he dated with me.
although he made a reservation the hotel, where he had been before, I didn't know this hotel has almost no privacy like there's only transparent curtain between bedroom and bathroom, and I don't feel comfortable about taking shower and using bathroom.
And things happened. When I took a shower, I found out some kinds of trouble near my groin, and I became panicked because I rarely get any skin troubles near my groin and he did oral to me, which I didn't ask to him, so I suspected it might be some kinds of std like herpes.
since I have sensitive skin, and I knew that HSV2 type has no cure, I became so insecure and woke him up in the middle of showering, and asked to him about his past history of sex. He said he had sex 20 times in his life with 5 partners and he had never experienced any outbreak in his life. I showed him my body and he said it's not big deal and it might be just skin irritating. After that, I googled and looked that part under the bright light on bed, and he asked me if I'm ok.
I know it could be not considerate for him about asking std and If I would so worried a lot, them I would not have any sexual intimacy with him. Though I didn't ask him oral to me, but somehow it happened and I was so confused at that time.
Anyways, he fell asleep again, but I didn't wanna spend that night just sleeping without watching movies or talking, and I tried to wake him up like lying on his body or touched his body, and played some planks on him. I admitted that I behaved like a child who wanted to get attention, and he said he just wanna sleep.
And I tried to sleep, but his phone had been kept alarming from Snapchat in the middle of night, and I felt weird and checked his phone. Though I didn't know his passwords, I could see Snapchat notifications in the screen and I found out those messages were from a variety of girls, at least 5 girls.
Though I assume that he might be talking with other girls, I didn't expect as much and I lose my control. At first time, I tried to ask him calmly why they are, but it felt like he ignored my word intentionally, and all this situation seems like he didn't respect me. Finally, I loud my voice to him and firmly said I'm so uncomfortable about it and asked him to explain who they are. he said they are just friends like that in America, and the reason he kept sending messages to me is due to time difference.
And when I asked him if he is using other dating apps, he said yes, and he is different from what I expected. Before that night, I had never asked him about other girls, since I believed what he said that he likes me.
in the next morning around 7 am, he woke up and said to me that he didn't feel good about last night. He felt like I woke him up at least 10 times, and I cried a few times and he said he didn't understand me and he felt like it's crazy. He said he is not in the mood of going to an amusement park today, and just wanted to leave after eating breakfast. I apologized him about it and said I felt so insecure and unstable yesterday since he didn't eat out with me, do nothing with me, and just kept sleeping from 9 am. But he seemed to be cold. I asked him if he doesn't like me anymore, and he said he doesn't like me as much. I asked him if he doesn't wanna hang out with me anymore, and he said he wanna go to amusement park with me maybe another time, but he is not in the mood of going there today. And he left hotel.
But after 10 minutes he left, I heard that someone knocking on the door hardly, and it's him. He said the reason he came back to hotel is he couldn't get a taxi, so he had to wait a bus. it seems like he didn't take a public transportation easily, so I decided to go to train station together with him. But I'm not sure how he felt about me. Because he hold my hands while going to the train station. And we went to a cafe, and he didn't say anything, just eating quickly and left, leaving me alone at a cafe.
I felt regret about last night, losing cool and waking him up a lot, and even though I felt uncomfortable about him, I should have asked him early in the next morning or just don't hang out with him next time, but I became emotional and I couldn't control my feelings since I became liked him for over time. I just wanna go to an amusement park with him and have a good time.
But I got hurts a lot from him since he seemed to not care about me at all unlike first date.
Actually, I got a skin disease after meeting him on first date since he kept smoking before me and touched my body without cleaning hands, and I had to get treatments in a hospital for a few months to be healed, but I didn't tell him about him since he didn't meant to it. And before he leaving me, I talked about him that I was sick but he just saw me with a blank look, and reacted like it's none of his business. he just said 'so what? you got cured right now and that's all'.
After he went to his place, he sent me messages that he arrived, and since then, we haven't talked so far.
Although he said he likes me, I'm not sure.

I am a 30M, and as the title says, I have ADHD (diagnosed). I somehow did quite well academically. However, I always had problems with languages and spelling since a kid, but since I did very well with other things and managed to get a very good education, it never raised any alarm.
However, since forever, I felt that compared with others, I always had way more problems with spelling words correctly, people/places names, I have a decent memory, but somehow I don't have a good memory when something can have "two options", not sure if that makes sense, it's just how I always felt it. For example, left and right, or things like that. But when its three options or more, it might be somehow easier for me to remember. I always thought that the problem was that my two mother tongues Spanish/Catalan are very similar but for many words you have slight differences, let's say in Spanish you use a "B" and for the same word in Catalan a "V".
I learned English as an adult, at age 20 more or less. And somehow, I can do fewer spelling mistakes than with my two mother tongues. Not sure if it is because I learned it as an adult and I paid more attention or what. However, due to spell correctors lately, I am starting to feel that I am also forgetting how to spell English words I knew let's say 2 years ago. I am starting to doubt more often.
I always thought this was normal, at the end we are all different and have more difficulties with some things, or well I also thought it would be because of ADHD and not paying attention. It never came to my mind that this could also be related to dyslexia, since well, until recently I was not even aware of what it was exactly. The other day, commenting on this to my therapist, she said the word dyslexia, and well some things match.
So for the people that know they have dyslexia, does my case sound like it? Or it's probably more a product of ADHD?

I (40/trans nb) am newish to polyamory. I’ve had some bad attempts at it with relationships that ultimately blew up (with poly being the catalyst but not the cause). I have a partner now that is further along in their experiences with it and is being patient and caring with me. They are starting to date another person and I am spiralling because of this. They have agreed to take it slow and postpone a lot of physical intimacy while I work thru this (v. short term) I do think polyam can work for me / for us, but I feel like I’m lacking the wording for the feelings I’m having. Finding the words to identify the feelings and being able to make things slot into place is how I work thru pretty much everything. There are a few complicated factors but probably my biggest issue in this is my relationship with sex. I’ve never been able to engage in casual sex, I’ve never had one night stands, I grew up religious and have weird shame around sex and desire. I love sex with partners and have slept with some friends and people I haven’t been in love with before, I def have a shy slutty side that I want to embrace, but everything feels like a tangled mess of anxiety and fear and wanting to throw up and run away. Intellectually the idea of having ownership of my partner and their body and what they do with it is gross to me, but at the moment that’s kind of the only thing that feels like make sense for why I feel so bad about them sharing themselves with their new partner. I know I struggle with intimacy (probs from being trans and having a shitty relationship with my own body for so long), but I’m trying to separate this idea of all sex being sacred (legit hate that word but cannot find another that offers the same weight).
Does anyone have advice or pearls of wisdom that helped them in their first few attempts of processing their feelings around their partners sharing intimacy with others.
TLDR: struggling with idea of partner sleeping with others, don’t want to feel so gross about it, don’t want to stop them from doing it but also having a very bad time about it.

Dear Justin Trudeau & political class
You don't know me, and you probably never will.. mind you that doesn’t say much as I don't think you know any Canadian any longer.. It's pretty clear you stopped working for us a long time ago and that's only if someone was to actually think that you were in the first place. I'm just a regular guy that has had his life destroyed by you and the destruction of this once great country..
a child has been literally stolen from me, a woman groomed me for a year, got pregnant, took off, made up lies with her what seemed to be prepaid attorney by the corrupted & weaponized legal system.. my hand was literally forced to give the child up or face complete financial ruin. I was never even allowed to meet her, and fought for over two years and drove across Canada twice because I could not fly because of your mandates. I could not win. I hope that one day that child will know the truth.. the legal system is so lopsided you can literally steal a child from a parent… and the courts act like it's in the best interest of the child.. It is not, not only that.. it seems like intentional destruction. and I hope that one day that child will know the truth, a perfectly willing, fit, innocent father taken from her.
I was fired from my job of 17 yrs, and given nothing, the best part is it was 2 mths before my 2nd child was born, because I asked questions of mandates that made no sense if you apply any critical thinking after doing some research.
My own parents told me that they were glad about it; you know because I didn't want to take a trial drug with no safety studies.
my partner of whom I had that child with did not have the same views in the beginning and was adamant on getting the shot when she was pregnant, because of my own research i would not allow it and although thankfully enough I was able to convince her of the dangers and we are now on the same page, but only after extreme measures and unrepairable damage to our relationship. The damage to our relationship has been done, and we are now not together.. so, although it's a win in protecting my daughter, us not being together for her is not.
I have been outcast in almost every aspect of my past life, my family, my partner and her family, friends, coworkers, neighbours and even now my 2nd daughter, although somewhat self-inflicted because I couldn't be around it any longer, plus the cost of living in Canada so I had to make the hardest decision of life to temporarily leave everything behind to try and get my life back together, in a new country.. according to you I was taking up too much space anyways.. Now I'm most likely being labeled as a pc of shit father, however no one understands that everything I am doing is for my daughter.. albeit from a distance at the moment.. No one understands, and i get that. I feel as though I've been killing myself to alert or save others. I have given up everything my life to try and help people see. and at the ridiculous thought that I could do a politician's job, I'd do it for no money.. I don't want anything but a shot at making this world better for my daughter.. give me food, shelter, a loving wife, and my daughter. that's it, that's all i want.
You suck at your job, and you know what? I'm a nobody. and I would challenge you to a debate and even run against you fairly confident id win, you are paid actor and have to follow a script or narrative that you are told.. no one talks about the points that really matter, and if you do ever get asked a real question, you short circuit. The so-called opposition just plays competition or is probably just controlled opposition and it's just slowly but surely it's further down this hellish path we go. If i did run against you, i bet you'd be scared, or should i say your handlers? probably so much that you'd probably have me killed or suicided, And you know what i say to that? Bring it on. i will not stray from truth and that's why. my father taught me to never lie.. your word is your if my death gave way or awareness and shined light to make this world a better place for my daughter and every kid out there i would do it in heartbeat. I am not afraid to die, I'm not afraid of anything except what world my daughter will live in, and I need her to know that I did something about it, I did not stay silent or stick my head in the sand. I will die with honor, something you know nothing about. if that makes me a martyr then so be it.. i will give my life for a better life for my child without hesitation if it makes the difference.
The world needs good people to stand up, and it's become frightening, the level of apathy, and or level of cowards in the world today.
to all the great minds today why are none of you standing up and running against these politicians ? Jordan Peterson, etc. or the likes… why, or why not? we are now sexualizing children? Pronouns? what in the actual fuck? Lemme guess? big pharma knew there would be lost trust in vaccines so you indoctrinate them as children now in schools with their sexuality and pronouns, screw them up/confuse them (as if childhood can't be confusing enough) so that many want gender transition surgeries and lifelong hormone drugs… ah yes more medical slavery. a whole new medical industry. sick. what have we become. I'm not anti-gay or trans either, I'm anti grooming of children…. when children become adults and still have those feelings, they could be addressed then… leave the children alone. Why are more people not saying anything? What are these shots doing to people?
Family law revamp. it should be 50/50. PERIOD.
School revamp
medical revamp
It all needs to come down and rebuilt, with honor and truth.
and compassion.
We are catering to a small portion of society to the point where it has become insane.
Can we not have more open and transparency or more open and regular voting through the new blockchain technology? The political system has become all talk, and no action, unless it's from manufactured consent for each side's agenda. how do we find people to properly fill these positions of power? Good, honest people? That can't be bought? can blockchain not be used for election integrity?
I don't know why I am writing this or who will ever see it, maybe no one ever will and it's for buy own clarity and sanity….
I don't know how the hell a regular joe like me could ever take a run at politics, a ridiculous thought… we have been trained to just accept things the way they are and I can't tell you how many times I've heard people say “it's not like anyone can change it, or do anything”…. to all those people.. I ask WHY NOT!!!????
Someone needs to do it. Someone. but who?
Mr. Peterson you are a shining light in this world and I encourage you to keep going, You remind me so much of my father btw. He also was a tortured soul, and misunderstood a lot, but a brilliant mind. He is gone now and I think about him every day, and would give anything to have just one more conversation with him.
If this touches just one person, i hope it makes a difference, i have so much more to share and say but will stop here.
If we dont fight for our children, what else is worth fighting for?

Hello everyone! :) I hope you are all having a wonderful day. I’m hoping to meet some great people here, and here’s a little something about myself: I’m almost 22, female, and I’m from Central Europe. I truly enjoy photography, and being able to capture the beauty of the scenery around us, an animal, or an interesting building is something amazing. I also love writing, and the ability to create new things, stories and characters with words, or to simply put your emotions on paper is a freeing experience. Baking is another thing I love. I love baking for myself and for my loved ones. I also want you to know that if you need someone to vent to, or if you just need advice, I am willing to help and to listen to you!
Feel free to DM me or to leave a comment. I’m looking forward to meeting you!
