2023.06.04 09:20 not_scythelol Ding dong ditched a karen (story)
So my parents are at my moms sisters baby shower, and I didn’t really want to go because i would just be sitting in an uncomfortable chair listen to moms half drunk talk about random stuff. So im staying at my friends house because he has a birthday that we were gonna stay the night at anyway, so i just went there. We were having fun and my friend just downloaded Dead Island 2 so we were chillin for a bit. (Also there were only me, my friend, and another good friend of ours.) And our other friend, who we’ll call jack said that we should go get my vr headset from my house, because its like a 2 to 3 minute walk over there. On the way there, one of us said that we should ding dong ditch someone. My mistake here is agreeing. Something to note here is i was assuming that it was around 7pm because of the semi-dark blue sky. We walked up to a house and we did a not-it type of thing and i ended up losing, so i told them to hide behind a bush. I rung the doorbell and we sprinted so fast a almost ran a whole block. I looked back to see where my friends were and they were close so i laughed. Just so happened a car turning the corner had a lady who was not having any of it that night at the wheel. She honked her horn for a good 5 seconds as she zoomed down the corner we were scared and we just ran to my house since it was right there. We got the oculus and just stood there for a good 30 seconds just confused snd paronoid that she was gonna come around the corner to kill us or something. We just walked out the door with the oculus and locked the door. But guess what? Guess who came around the corner? We see the same car that honked at us pull up in front of my house, and open the door (in the middle of the road by the way,) and stick her hear out the top.
K = angy lady
Op = me
f1 = friend 1
f2 = friend 2
K: Hey! Were you guys just ringing door bells and running?!
Op, f1, f2: What?
K: You were weren’t you?
F2: i mean yeah ig.
K: (Gets out of car and walks on to my yard and private property.)
K: Where do you guys, live?
Op: I dont need to disclose that information to you.
K: Tell me now!
Op: Why do you want to know that?
K: I’ll follow you home then.
F2, op: Dont do that thats weird.
Op: Look, i live here at this house, get off my yard its private property.
K: Or what?!
Op: idk your trespassing.
K: i don’t believe that you live at ths house, unlock the door!
Op: (i unlock the door with the key i had.)
K: Are your parents home? Let me talk to them.
Op: No they’re not (explains the baby shower thing)
K: do you have a cellphone?
Op: yeah.
K: put your parents on the phone.
Op: im not going to do that, get off my yard.
K: i have cameras you know! I have the footage! Im gonna be here tomorrow morning and tell your parents.
Op: Thats all fine and good but they are gonna here from me before you even wake up.
K: They better know!
Op: Cool now get off my yard.
K: (walks to her car and drives off.)
F2: (flips off the car)
Keep in mind that she was screaming the whole time. We all texted our moms to tell them what was going down. F1’s mom starts walking toward us and asked us where K went. AND GUESS WHAT?THE HOUSE WE DING DONG DITCHED JUST SO HAPPENED TO BELONG TO K. F1’s mom went to the house to apologize and we all just walked to f1’s house. His mom wasn’t to mad, she just told us why it was dumb. But something funny just accured to me. She left her kid at home watching jeff the killer videos and he got scared when we rung the doorbell, we rung a doorbell, but she honked her horn at 10 at night. She was standing on my private property and denied the question to get off my property.
TLDR: me and my friend ding dong ditched a karen and she yelled at us and we ended up taking a w.

2023.06.04 09:11 Josei-N-Koni I’m conflicted by my condition as I get older
I can’t eat anything that tastes even remotely sweet or it’ll send me into a nauseous state as if I’ve gotten food poisoning.
I’ve been okay with it my whole life but every once in a while it would piss off certain people.
Anything with red sauce makes me physically ill, but not immobilized. My mom once got mad at me because I couldn’t bear to eat spaghetti normally after I turned 16, lasagna was out of the picture until she decided to make one without sauce and more cheese.
People have either felt bad for me or given me weird looks when I ask for something other than cake for my birthday since I ask for weird things like vegetables, or fancy foods (caviar, mortadella, romanesco, brie, etc.)
I have to burn things to get the sweet taste out of them, like sandwich toasts and certain meats. The only bread I’ll eat comfortably cold is pumpernickel, sourdough, and French bread (garlic bread too but my mom doesn’t like those and I get those for me rarely)
If I forget I’ve eaten breakfast or at all and end up eating something as small as a single chocolate strawberry, I will keep getting more and more sick until I vomit and almost pass out from the stomach pains and overall exhaustion of trying to digest something so sweet on its own.
The only drinks I allow myself are milk and water (and technically coffee and fancy teas but those are just flavored waters), my favorite being milk because it has a good flavor, and a nice but subtle texture differing between whole, 2%, half&half, and whipping cream (I don’t drink it straight I like adding small bits to foods and coffee for mouthfeel). Anything else I end up wasting 15/16th’s of it if I’m curious enough to try it out. It usually ends in disappointment that I can’t broaden my horizons.
I like sour candies, but not the ones that get sweet after you’ve sucked all the sour off, those I sadly end up wasting. I really like warheads but they have a sweet center which I can’t enjoy. I like juicy drop pops, but I only ever eat the sour juice and discard the lollipop. I try and eat it but it makes me sick the more I try.
I’ve actually had a “sweet” candy that I can enjoy: smarties. I’ve eaten them ever since I was a kid. I looked them up and apparently they have dextrose, instead of glucose. They’re my favorite candy of all time, and if I could I would buy every version of them ever made.
It’s not about health, even if it’s “sugar-free”, or low sugar, there’s always some kind of sugar alternative that’s probably even more unhealthy than the original option.
I normally like the smell of sweet things, but if it’s too strong it makes me sick. If I eat something sweet and get sick, those things I liked will make me feel worse because they’re sweet.
I’ve basically blacklisted sweetness out of my tastebuds because of how painful they are to eat. Small test bites are slowly becoming less and less enjoyable. It’s unfortunate as well because I love trying new stuff even if it makes me grimace.
Just wanted to vent. That’s what this sub is for.

2023.06.04 09:09 kumaj1r0 I always left things unsaid for the sake of peace and it led my dear friend to her death.
I honestly couldn't bring myself to open this up to others because it just feels too heavy. I tried opening this up to my family but they just disregard it.
My friend (let's call her Tina) died in an accident last month and I will always blame myself for it. She was so much like a sister to me. My actions indirectly caused her death, all because I kept quiet so that I could keep the "peace" and "friendship" with the other people who are hurting her. And with me tolerating the bullshit she's putting up with those people, our friends, caused everything.
First is our friend, and best friend, J. He's honestly an insensitive, egotistical, self-centered pervert who thinks his sexual jokes are funny and that he's very dependent on others to do stuff for him especially towards Tina. For several years, Tina put up with him but she was so fed up and distanced herself from him (and me, for a certain time) Then she opened up me a bunch of times more than a year ago about this. I could vividly remember just us 2 at the beach at night having this talk. We talked about so kany things and she told me her problems. How her family treats her like shit. Her abusive older siblings being careless and her being the one taking care and feeding her nieces because their parents were neglectful. Her experiences of SAs from different men, some who are her relatives. I could also remember that time when her boyfriend plead me to confront J because she's just so fed up and he can't stand her crying about it.
And on that night at the beach, I told her that I'm going someday but not now because I'm scared of ruining the friendship. And that's one of my faults. I tolerated abusive behavior and that made her distant from us. She isn't hanging out with our friend group anymore (that is, if J is there. We would secretly go out with some other close friends without J because we were just fed up with him).
Next is a former friend of ours: "Mae". Her absolute toxicness and laziness in helping at our thesis was the last straw for Tina and she quitted for a while. And of course, I have a fault in this because Mae was initially my best friend too. I kept quiet and did nothing with Mae's abusive behavior towards Tina as well. Because I was so scared of confrontation. I prioritized myself over her and that was my biggest mistake.
And lastly, the worst part.
Tina finally just went back to college and we're already a year ahead of her. Some friends are still closely keeping in touch with her. But on her current year, she got close with a former classmate of ours (we're formerly the same batch here) who also dropped school before and went back. Let's call her "Joy". Both of them became really close and would even always go to many places. They'd usually have roadtrips that are far from the city. I'm also included sometimes too since I'm the only one who's free and available from our circle. So the 3 of us became close and we would always go to different places, just living the life.
It was fun and exciting at first. Going to bars late at night, drinking. Going to faraway, beautiful places, we frequently visit beaches from different towns. And I'd usually be the one who would drive them to our destinations and when going home. I always made sure they're home safe, especially Tina. I wasn't really close with Joy until this year and I only tag along for the fun and because Tina's there.
But over the months, it just gets out of hand. We frequently drink travel further and further. Me and Tina were just following Joy's whims. Sometimes forced to. But we went for the sake of " experience " and "getting along". And Joy's behavior was getting toxic and overwhelming for us. I was getting fed up with Joy only calling me up when she needs something, like some company to listen to her tiring rants or someone to drive her around. And once she gets what she wants, she'll forget you existed until she needs something again.
I always had this hunch that Tina's fed up with Joy too but she's just forced to get. I know damn well that Tina's the type to not say no for the sake of peace too. But I never opened it up to her because she seems to have so much fun with Joy. And that led her to her death.
One night in May, Tina and Joy were planning to go to the next town over because there's a festival. They went after their class (ended at 7pm). The town's a 20-30 minute drive from ours. On that night, I wasn't able to come with them because I have a part-time shift until 10pm. So Tina used her motorcycle instead to drive there with Joy as her passenger. Hours later, it was almost midnight. They're driving home. It was reported that Joy drank so much while Tina only drank soda. And I know that Tina's a slow but steady driver. She'd never speed up on the road especially if it's dark.
But she's too late to realize that the road's been broken off. The warning sign's just right before the broken road. She crashed head frist and died after midnight.
Joy was far from the crash. She was on the asphalt side. She was mostly unscathed and was able to walk around.
Before the accident, there were some witnesses from that town who said that they saw that the motorcycle was swaying left and right.
Joy survived. Tina didn't.
And then I thought that it's Joy's fault. She was a heavy woman and I know best that if she drank so much, she moves around a lot.
But then it dawned on me that it's not just her fault. I had a part in this. Then it all came flooding back and the guilt just becomes heavier each day after the accident.
If only I was braver and confronted J and Mae before, Tina wouldn't had to suffer so much and stay away from the friend group and dropped out. If I called out Joy on her bs and opened up to Tina about it, she would've stayed away and not go on that night.
I was the one who's there. To hear her rants and problems especially about this people. The one who always accompanied her wherever we'd go, with or without Joy. I saw everything. And I barely did anything. I feel so guilty. If I only I said and did something before, she would've been alive right now. We would've been living our lives and prepare to go to med school together. Because of her, I had a direction and purpose in life after college. As long as she's there, I was confident to proceed and explore what life has to offer and have the most fun out of it. And now I feel lost again. I don't know how to proceed anymore. I feel like utter shit.
She was literally the kindest and nicest soul I've ever met. She's one of the few people I feel so comfortable. She doesn't deserve all of the shit she's gone through, and she definitely doesn't deserve this kind of ending. I'll always hate myself for this and I'll carry on this guilt until I die.
I just hope that she would forgive me for all of this.

2023.06.04 09:08 yuckyblucky197 Is he seeing someone else?
I’m still seeing my situationaship, despite moving away. I only see him when I’m in town and he’s always down for it.
Recently I messaged him and asked what he was up to. He said he was with friends. Idk why, but I’ve been sensing that he might be seeing other people or in a relationship. So I replied “girlfriend?”. He just said yes . I asked if he was serious and if so why he didn’t tell me he was seeing someone and he said yes and he’ll talk more.
I’ve asked him before and he said he wasn’t seeing anyone and he would always let me know if he got in a relationship. I’m not sure if he said that to make me jealous, was being sarcastic and was telling the truth. We just talked about meeting up a few days ago.
Last time i saw him, he was acting different. It was fun, but he was lying to me about something.
He told me he was going to be working until midnight. I messaged him when I was in town earlier and he asked where I was and to let him know when I was done hanging with friends. I told him when and then he told me to call him. He said he was 30 minutes away for a “work thing”. It wasn’t adding up then because I used to work at the job he’s at now and it’s not located in the city he was said to be in. He then started a random conversation that was off topic and I began to sense maybe he was on something.
He messaged me when he got home which was quick. He was already naked when I got in and when we began fooling around, it looked like he was high out of his mind. I never saw him like that before. He seemed to be on another planet. I asked if he was fine and if he did anything before I got there and he said alcohol and weed. I’m not someone who’s familiar with drugs, but it seemed like it could’ve been something more than that. I dated a guy who did substances before but it was hard drugs and he’d only get extremely horny and affectionate while on those.
This guy was also very affectionate and did stuff he’s never done before to me. It’s like he couldn’t keep his hands off of me and didn’t want to stop. While it was great, this was all unlike him. I sensed maybe he could’ve been on Molly but he said he wasn’t when I asked . He said he drank wine, but the bottle still had a lot in it when he offered it to me. I know the two can make you horny, but it was so extreme with how he was acting, it seemed like it was something else.
He was vaping when I got there and said what he had wasn’t strong.
He couldn’t finish at all, and would go limp every now and then , but he kept trying to fool around non stop for like 4 hours. He’d say how amazing I was and he even just wanted to cuddle. I asked if he drank and smoke at work because he was too intoxicated when I got there and he said he had dinner with friends and worked earlier.
None of this is adding up. While I had a good time, I’m wondering what he was lying about & why ? I always wonder if he’s seeing other women and if that could’ve been the case ?
We talked about seeing each other again. We talked in the morning and he said it was fine . He said he would be off that day and I told him what time I would be free. He just responded ok. Then I sexted him and said I couldn’t wait. He never responded. I was waiting for him to reply and it got closer to the time I said I would be free. He had only sent me a meme on another app we’re friends on.
I messaged him and he said he was in bed, I asked if he wanted to still meet up and he took forever to respond. He said he was too high to drive. I said I would come to him and he just left me on read for about an hour then said I could come. He said he fell asleep.
When I got there it was the same experience, but this time he didn’t want to do much to me. I mostly did all the work and he still couldn’t finish. He was very sluggish and said he smoke too much. I ended up leaving and he just stayed in bed and didn’t say much to me. Then he sends me a photo on Snapchat the next day about him heading to the beach. It was a broad snap that looked like it was sent to other people. I know he’s going with a couple and the last time he hung out with them, there was a girl with them who I had never seen before. She’s shown up in photos for his birthday and other things. I was wondering if this was someone he’s seeing. I asked him if he was seeing anyone else and he said no and said he would let me know if he ever did, but I still feel like he’s hiding something. He wound up deleting the photo he shared that she was in after i asked that.
I know this a bit much for a situationship, but I just hate being lied to. I just want to know what’s really going on.
What is his deal?
TL;DR My situation ship has been acting weird lately and I’m wondering if he’s seeing someone else. A woman who I don’t know has shown up in his photos previously. He said he wasn’t seeing anyone & would tell me if he ever did.
But last time we spoke I jokingly asked if he was with his girlfriend and he said yes. I asked if he was serious and why he never told me He was seeing someone and he said he would talk later. He hasn’t responded since and I’m Just confused.
The last time I saw him he said he had to work and wouldn’t get off until late, then he calls me and says he was 30 minutes away because of work, but his job doesn’t require him to travel. When I went to his place, he was really intoxicated, he was very affectionate and touchy and it seemed like he could’ve been on molly or ecstasy. He said he only smoked weed & drank wine. I asked if he did that at work because he was too messed up when I saw him after he claimed to have come back from work. He said he went to dinner after work with friends. He couldn’t finish at all & would go limp sometimes , but still tried to go at it for a long time. The same thing happened the next day, but we agreed to see each other and when I messaged him about meeting up at the time we agreed on, he left me on read for about an hour. He said he was too high to drive to me and I suggested I’d go to him. He left me on read some more and then said I could go. He was once again sluggish and couldn’t finish and wasn’t affectionate at all. I ended up leaving and the next day he sends me this broad snap, I’m sure he sent to other people of him going on vacation with a couple I’ve seen him with before. The last time he was with them, this mysterious girl was with them In photos. Is he hiding something?

2023.06.04 08:57 suburban_mom_ Past people 🤦♀️
I commented on someone else’s post about past people popping up in their life and I ran into someone today I had major beef with before I moved to my new home. I went back to where I used to live to meet with my cousin to talk about her sister’s cocaine addiction because she didn’t know. While I was getting ready I jokingly mentioned to my sister, wouldn’t it be funny if we ran into someone we used to know? On the way to the cafe I told my sister, it feels like I’m on my way to a mission. I was very nervous because I didn’t know how she would react. Before we got out my sister checked the time, it was 4:44. As I walked inside the cafe, I saw him, and I knew it was him because there’s only so few people I know with a scrunched up face like him. I was so glad I fixed myself up really nice because he looked like he just rolled out of bed and his hair looked like it had not been trimmed in a bit. He is the best friend of my ex FWB. As my sister and I talked to my cousin I could hear him laugh at the jokes we were making, I silently begged for him not to approach us. I got what I needed to say out to my cousin and she felt the same way as I did. My back was to him and as we were talking she kept turning around to look at him, I think that was a dead giveaway that she could feel him staring at us. We wrapped up our conversation and said our goodbyes. My sister and I were going to go somewhere else but after talking to my cousin about something intense, I just wanted to be at home. Last night I noticed my lamp dim sometimes and tonight a light by my garage kept flickering while I was smoking a cigarette and I thought that was strange because my stepdad just replaced it. I’m not expecting anything too much right now, I’m just putting my faith in the Universe. I was very tired for most of this week but today I woke up at a decent time and I was able to fix up my room after it was neglected for a week. Today was his birthday and I hope he doesn’t feel depressed like how I felt on my birthday last year. We started talking the day after my birthday and looking back I probably manifested him because I felt so alone and disappointed with life.

2023.06.04 08:40 yuckyblucky197 Is he seeing someone else?
I’m still seeing my situationaship, despite moving away. I only see him when I’m in town and he’s always down for it.
Recently I messaged him and asked what he was up to. He said he was with friends. Idk why, but I’ve been sensing that he might be seeing other people or in a relationship. So I replied “girlfriend?”. He just said yes . I asked if he was serious and if so why he didn’t tell me he was seeing someone and he said yes and he’ll talk more.
I’ve asked him before and he said he wasn’t seeing anyone and he would let me know if he got in a relationship. I’m not sure if he said that to make me jealous, was being sarcastic and was telling the truth. We just talked about meeting up a few days ago.
Last time i saw him, he was acting different. It was fun, but he was lying to me about something.
He told me he was going to be working until midnight. I messaged him when I was in town earlier and he asked where I was and to let him know when I was done hanging with friends. I told him when and then he told me to call him. He said he was 30 minutes away for a “work thing”. It wasn’t adding up then because I used to work at the job he’s at now and it’s not located in the city he was said to be in. He then started a random conversation that was off topic and I began to sense maybe he was on something.
He messaged me when he got home which was quick. He was already naked when I got in and when we began fooling around, it looked like he was high out of his mind. I never saw him like that before. He seemed to be on another planet. I asked if he was fine and if he did anything before I got there and he said alcohol and weed. I’m not someone who’s familiar with drugs, but it seemed like it could’ve been something more than that. I dated a guy who did substances before but it was hard drugs and he’d only get extremely horny and affectionate while on those.
This guy was also very affectionate and did stuff he’s never done before to me. It’s like he couldn’t keep his hands off of me and didn’t want to stop. While it was great, this was all unlike him. I sensed maybe he could’ve been on Molly but he said he wasn’t when I asked . He said he drank wine, but the bottle still had a lot in it when he offered it to me. I know the two can make you horny, but it was so extreme with how he was acting, it seemed like it was something else.
He was vaping when I got there and said what he had wasn’t strong.
He couldn’t finish at all, and would go limp every now and then , but he kept trying to fool around non stop for like 4 hours. He’d say how amazing I was and he even just wanted to cuddle. I asked if he drank and smoke at work because he was too intoxicated when I got there and he said he had dinner with friends and worked earlier.
None of this is adding up. While I had a good time, I’m wondering what he was lying about & why ? I always wonder if he’s seeing other women and if that could’ve been the case ?
We talked about seeing each other again. We talked in the morning and he said it was fine . He said he would be off that day and I told him what time I would be free. He just responded ok. Then I sexted him and said I couldn’t wait. He never responded. I was waiting for him to reply and it got closer to the time I said I would be free. He had only sent me a meme on another app we’re friends on.
I messaged him and he said he was in bed, I asked if he wanted to still meet up and he took forever to respond. He said he was too high to drive. I said I would come to him and he just left me on read for about an hour then said I could come. He said he fell asleep.
When I got there it was the same experience, but this time he didn’t want to do much to me. I mostly did all the work and he still couldn’t finish. He was very sluggish and said he smoke too much. I ended up leaving and he just stayed in bed and didn’t say much to me. Then he sends me a photo on Snapchat the next day about him heading to the beach. It was a broad snap that looked like it was sent to other people. I know he’s going with a couple and the last time he hung out with them, there was a girl with them who I had never seen before. She’s shown up in photos for his birthday and other things. I was wondering if this was someone he’s seeing. I asked him if he was seeing anyone else and he said no and said he would let me know if he ever did, but I still feel like he’s hiding something. He wound up deleting the photo he shared that she was in after i asked that.
I know this a bit much for a situationship, but I just hate being lied to. I just want to know what’s really going on.
What is his deal?
TL;DR My situation ship has been acting weird lately and I’m wondering if he’s seeing someone else. A woman who I don’t know has shown up in his photos previously. He said he wasn’t seeing anyone & would tell me if he ever did.
But last time we spoke I jokingly asked if he was with his girlfriend and he said yes. I asked if he was serious and why he never told me He was seeing someone and he said he would talk later. He hasn’t responded since and I’m Just confused.
The last time I saw him he said he had to work and wouldn’t get off until late, then he calls me and says he was 30 minutes away because of work, but his job doesn’t require him to travel. When I went to his place, he was really intoxicated, he was very affectionate and touchy and it seemed like he could’ve been on molly or ecstasy. He said he only smoked weed & drank wine. I asked if he did that at work because he was too messed up when I saw him after he claimed to have come back from work. He said he went to dinner after work with friends. He couldn’t finish at all & would go limp sometimes , but still tried to go at it for a long time. The same thing happened the next day, but we agreed to see each other and when I messaged him about meeting up at the time we agreed on, he left me on read for about an hour. He said he was too high to drive to me and I suggested I’d go to him. He left me on read some more and then said I could go. He was once again sluggish and couldn’t finish and wasn’t affectionate at all. I ended up leaving and the next day he sends me this broad snap, I’m sure he sent to other people of him going on vacation with a couple I’ve seen him with before. The last time he was with them, this mysterious girl was with them In photos. Is he hiding something?

We met last year while living in same city that I still live in, I’m in my final year of school and she moved 4 hours away to another city for university so we’ve been doing long distance for about 4 and a half months. We Catch the bus every weekend alternating who goes and stay with each. I’m 17 and she just turned 18 but we sleep at each other’s places 1-2 nights a week. We had troubles at the start as she hooked up with my friend 2 weeks prior to being offical and it caused trust issues, I also had communication issues but I got through them and have since been a very good and healthy communicator and have grown a lot from my mistakes in the relationship and have changed my person issues. However she was also not the greatest communicator and hasn’t changed much as she says it’s just who she is and doesn’t want to talk about things whereas I am now the opposite and need to talk about things. We’ve been fighting lots and I feel like we aren’t the right people for each other as what I want her to do isn’t who she naturally is and what she wants me to do is also not who I am. I don’t know wether to break up or to keep going, or when the right time would be as my birthday is in 2 weeks and I know she has gotten alot for me and planned stuff etc, the next weekend is her mums 50th that I’m invited to and the week after that I am going to Thailand for a family holiday. She also has depression which is caused issues in our relationship so I don’t know how I would breakup with her without worrying about her health. I feel guilty because she can’t fulfill my needs and I haven’t felt loved and have felt lonely recently. I’ve brought this up multiple time in the last month but it still feels the same. It is a very healthy and happy relationship and I love her dearly and I believe she loves me too but I don’t know if it’s going to work. Can you help? Feel free to ask anymore questions. Sorry if this is jumbled up, honesty this has been on my mind for the last week and am lost on what to do. Thank you

2023.06.04 08:32 WideAd8358 4 June 2023 (Kurt Tay) - Q&A (Part 4)
Many people have been asking me the same question including my wife. How is the SSS interview ? Recently I went for the interview. They say have to wait for one week. Wait for 1 week then if have, they will call you. 31st May 2023 is the deadline. Even if they call you, you still have to go for second interview with the clients. So the clients will interview you. Then after that the clients will decide whether they will decide who will join as a security supervisor. I wasn't called up. My wife just called me up regarding the full time job. Actually for me, I don't mind working Adhoc jobs. But the problem is because we want to apply for the BTO loan. If Adhoc job no CPF or very very low CPF, it will be hard to get the loan. So you see, my wife just now ask me, I have been thinking. Its either I go and look for other agencies for a SSS full time job which I know its quite hard to get nowadays. Or I might change career to be a debt collector. I think its a job which I quite OK with it, which I actually quite interested. Because the job is not so hard. The job got a group of people accompany you to go to the house address to collect debt. So the job OK. If one person go, a bit jialat. You see TV right? Usually a group of people and some more its legalized. Not like those illegal ah long. Put the pig head. Got risk kenna arrested by police. Then police send you to jail to meet DeeKosh inside the jail. But this one is legalized one. Got license one. I will either go for the debt collector or SSS job. But actually I quite fine with the Adhoc job but the problem is the CPF thing.
You say that on 24th May 2023 is your first time being fist fuck during BDSM but its not your first time being anal fucked so there's no blood. Can you tell good fans when you have been anal fucked ? This question let me think how to answer you. I cannot remember when is the first time I kenna anal fucked. But I know its been a long long long long time ago. I cannot remember which year which date which month. All I know that its not the first time I kenna anal fucked. That is why when I go find BDSM mistress and whether the BDSM mistress use the dildo to fuck my ass or finger my asshole or use the fist to fist fuck my asshole, got no problem come out because its not a virgin hole. You ask me when ? Seriously I cannot remember which year what month which date because my memory not so good but confirm its not the first time. When I have been anal fucked, the date, I really cannot remember. Not I purposely don't want to tell you. I can't remember the date but its been many many years ago. If I not wrong should be more than 10 years ago but which year which date which month, unfortunatelly, I really forget.
If the fist stuck in your asshole, cannot take out. How ? This is a very silly question. If the fist can go inside the anal hole ? Of course the fist can come out lah. What kind of question is this ? If the fist cannot come out of the anal hole. In the first place, the fist will not be able to go inside the anal hole. If the fist can go inside the anal hole means the fist confirm won't get stuck inside the anal hole, the fist confirm can come out one. So this is a common logic right ? If the fist go inside. In in out out. Confirm can in in out out one. No such things as go inside cannot come out. No such things. This is simple common knowledge. Simple common sense.
If one day Kurt do BDSM as a dog until the kukujiao accidentally cut off, will he go to the vet or the hospital ? This is a very very funny question. Even if I go do BDSM as a dog, I am still not 100% dog. Its 50% dog 50% human. Half human half dog. So of course if accident happen, of course go to hospital. How can go to the vet ? As long as you are not 100% dog, you only 50% dog then you go to human hospital and not the vet.
You should ask your owner, do anything like cut kukujiao, maybe will get forgiveness. Answer is No. How can I accept cut kukujiao as punishment so that I can get forgiveness from Goddess Mistress Luna ? Of course cannot. If kukujiao cut off, honggan already. How to have two more kids ? How to have sex with my wife ? No kukujiao means I eunuch. Gong gong. Like that jialat already because a guy must have kukujiao. If the kukujiao cut off means I honggan already. Then I also don't know the pee come out from where. Women no kukujiao, the urine come out from vagina. If men cut off the kukujiao, no vagina then the urine come out from where also dunno. So of course cannot cut off kukujia. What kind of question is this ?
Since you can autocum, why you cannot auto humilate ? You see, you can go and watch porn then you see very very excited then you own self autocum or whatever. But the feeling is not there. The feeling is not shiok. Its different. I can go and watch the fendom porn video. Watch the BDSM mistress punish the male slaves then you see excited then you autocum. But the feeling of watching and ownself experience is totally different. Its not the same. How can you say watch porn then ownself autocum ? Its not the same OK. When you ownself real life experience, the feeling is different. You cannot experience that by just watching the porn.
When the fist enters your ass, were you very proud ? Do you think it is an achievement because not a lot of people can fit a fist in their ass ? Answer of course is Yes. This is a very very proud achievement. In fact, you are right that not many men, the fist can go inside the anal hole. Not say don't have lah. have. You go and see Twitter account. Actually got quite a lot of slaves, the fist can go inside but of course not many. But I got to say of course this is a proud achievement.
Last time Mistress Luna post your buttocks photo on her Twitter. You won't feel xia suay meh ? Answer is No. Why will I feel xia suay ? You see last time I go and approach Mistress Luna. In fact she never go and post my photo. I go and ask why ? I want to be humilated by her. I keep on asking her. After our third session, please post the photo and video of her kenna punish by her, post on the Twitter. Because I like it. When I see, it will make me feel high. So you see, when you kenna punish by her and then she post your buttocks or kukujiao or whatever photo or video, this is a something that is very very proud achievement. Thats right. Sometime you feel very proud. This is very very proud achievement. Why should I feel sia suay? There's nothing to be sia suay of. In fact, its a very very proud achievement. Like something you got the scholarship or whatever then you win the Olympics whatever. This is such a proud achievement. Where got sia suay ? The feelings is exactly the same when you win the Olympics.
If Kim want to be a BDSM mistress, will you support her ? Answer is Yes. This is not a joke. I seriously meant everything I say. If my wife say she want to become full time BDSM mistress just like Mistress Luna, I will fully fully support my wife. Because she is earning money and she can enjoy punishing the slaves. There's nothing to lose. If my wife say she want to become a slave, of course the answer is No. If my wife want to become a BDSM mistress then its Ok with me. That's fine with me. Because my wife she can fist fuck the slaves. No problem. My wife can finger fuck the slaves. Also no problem to me. My wife can even wear the dildo to fuck the slaves the anal hole. In in out out. You see why I don't mind. Because dildo is just a toy. My wife wearing a toy to fuck the slaves, its the slaves who got disadvantage. Btw, BDSM session, the slavess are not allowed to touch the BDSM mistress. So my wife will not kenna touch by them because she is a mistress. So she got nothing to lose and everything to gain. And to me, if my wife fist fuck the slave, its Ok, there nothing wrong. Lets say if other men fuck my wife, this confirm cannot. If my wife wear the dildo to fuck the slave the ass, this to me is OK. I okay with my wife to become BDSM mistress. The slave can kenna punish by my wife. Kenna cane. This is fine with me. I okay with that. The only thing I cannot accept is. I engage 3 BDSM mistresses before and I want to drink their urine. Almost all 3 BDSM mistresses, I seen their vagina before. Because I want to be a human toilet so I lie down. The BDSM mistresses they on top. They take off their underwear then I can see their vagina so they can urine on my mouth. For this thing, I not so OK with my wife to do that. Only this thing. Because I don't want other men to see my wife vagina. So this one I not so OK. Other punishments that is actually OK with me. Only the urine part. If the slaves want to drink the urine part, OK but they cannot see. Then my wife urine on the bowl and then let the slaves drink the urine but cannot directly from the vagina then urine. Because like that, the slaves can see my wife vagina. For this part answer cannot. The rest OK. No problem.
You like Mistress Luna's tattoos is it ? Actually I prefer women with no tattoos. The first time I see Mistress Luna. Wah. So many tattoos. But tattoos nevermind. Tattoo the thing no problem. The thing she is beautiful chiobu. That is the most important thing. So if she is beautiful chiobu. Even if she got tattoos, that doesn't matter. And I say many times before on my Telegram chat group, I like the way she punish me. I like the way she humilate me. I like the way she torture me. Because when she torture me, she show with no mercy. Thats why I like it. Not because after you cane me right then I scream in pain then you start to cane us very soft or whatever or you stop canning. No. Even though I very very painful. Don't care. Just continue cane. Cane as hard as you can. Don't show mercy to me. That's what I like about her. Because the way she torture me. I very very like.
Is it because you stress earning money to feed whole family That is why you go and find BDSM mistresses ? Stress whole family. Thats why I find BDSM mistresses ? Answer is No. I don't think that is the case mah. I told you before already. Its because of Loh Jia Hung. After I lost the fight to him, I suffered brain damage. That is why I go and find BDSM mistresses. Not because I feel stress to feed my whole family. That is not the real reason. The real reason is because of Loh Jia Hung. Because he made me feel low self esteem. He made me got depression. After I low self esteem, I got depression. That's why I go and find BDSM mistresses to ask them to torture me.
Why haven't you ended friendship with Wen Loong yet even after all he has done to you ? and all the bad influence he has on you. Why do you still keep him as a friend ? I will argue that he has done things worse than any haters. Would a good fan make you lose your vessel job ? Would a good fan kick you in the stomach and constantly talk shit about you ? First of all, I add him in my chat group doesnt mean I treat him as a friend. You misunderstand. I felt he is rather entertaining. Got people say he is irritating. But I felt he rather entertaining on my chat group. Sometimes my chat group can be quite quiet. He is quite entertaining. I don't really treat him as a friend anymore. I just add him for fun. For fun only. Not because I treat him as a friend. I never go out with him anymore. Vessel job, I got ask him. He say he is not the one who sabotage me. He admit he got talk to OE Harvey to scold OE Harvey that time December. That time I still working for vessel job after he scold OE Harvey. Few months later I was being fired. All OE Harvey tell me is because of some videos. But never tell me what is the video. I ask Wen Loong is it because he sabotage me. He tell me he is not the one. He tell me he never go and send any videos to Harvey whatever. But December, he admit he go and scold Harvey but it didn't affect my vessel job. I never treat him as good friend anymore. You really misunderstand. I just felt that he provided some entertainment on my telegram chat group. Sometimes I work, I eat the popcorn and can watch free show. Not because I treat him as a fan. You can imagine. Can eat popcorn. Like watching a movie for free. So many entertainment provided by this guy.
Are you a pretty boy ? I know I am a handsome man. But I am not sure I am a pretty boy. Because I am a 帅哥偶像。本土天王。帅哥偶像. Handsome Yes. Pretty boy I don't quite understand the definition.
If new mistress punish you look toilet bowl how ? She already clean it. First of all. No need to clean toilet bowl. The toilet bowl can have urine stain. If the BDSM mistress want to punish me lick the toilet bowl also can. Yes. Yes. Yes I think this will be a very very great humiliation that will make me feel very very high. This is a great punishment. Likely I will enjoy. So no need clean one. Dirty also can.
Are you scared of drawing blood at clinic or hospital ? You can tahan the pain ? That one should be OK. I try before. I can't remember for what reason but its not painful. Because when they draw blood, they put the needle, only when they poke, its a bit pain but then overall its not so painful.

2023.06.04 08:31 yuckyblucky197 Is (30M) he seeing someone else?
I’m still seeing my situationaship, despite moving away. I only see him when I’m in town and he’s always down for it.
Recently I messaged him and asked what he was up to. He said he was with friends. Idk why, but I’ve been sensing that he might be seeing other people or in a relationship. So I replied “girlfriend?”. He just said yes . I asked if he was serious and if so why he didn’t tell me he was seeing someone and he said yes and he’ll talk more.
I’ve asked him before and he said he wasn’t seeing anyone and he would let me know if he got in a relationship. I’m not sure if he said that to make me jealous, was being sarcastic and was telling the truth. We just talked about meeting up a few days ago.

He told me he was going to be working until midnight. I messaged him when I was in town earlier and he asked where I was and to let him know when I was done hanging with friends. I told him when and then he told me to call him. He said he was 30 minutes away for a “work thing”. It wasn’t adding up then because I used to work at the job he’s at now and it’s not located in the city he was said to be in.

I know the two can make you horny, but it was so extreme with how he was acting, it seemed like it was something else.
He was vaping when I got there and said what he had wasn’t strong.

I asked if he drank and smoke at work because he was too intoxicated when I got there and he said he had dinner with friends and worked earlier.
None of this is adding up. While I had a good time, I’m wondering what he was lying about & why ? I always wonder if he’s seeing other women and if that could’ve been the case ?
We talked about seeing each other again. We talked in the morning and he said it was fine . He said he would be off that day and I told him what time I would be free. He just responded ok. Then I sexted him and said I couldn’t wait. He never responded. I was waiting for him to reply and it got closer to the time I said I would be free. He had only sent me a meme on another app we’re friends on.
I messaged him and he said he was in bed, I asked if he wanted to still meet up and he took forever to respond. He said he was too high to drive. I said I would come to him and he just left me on read for about an hour then said I could come. He said he fell asleep.
When I got there it was the same experience, but this time he didn’t want to do much to me. I mostly did all the work and he still couldn’t finish. He was very sluggish and said he smoke too much. I ended up leaving and he just stayed in bed and didn’t say much to me. Then he sends me a photo on Snapchat the next day about him heading to the beach. It was a broad snap that looked like it was sent to other people. I know he’s going with a couple and the last time he hung out with them, there was a girl with them who I had never seen before. She’s shown up in photos for his birthday and other things. I was wondering if this was someone he’s seeing. I asked him if he was seeing anyone else and he said no and said he would let me know if he ever did, but I still feel like he’s hiding something. He wound up deleting the photo he shared that she was in after i asked that.
I know this a bit much for a situationship, but I just hate being lied to. I just want to know what’s really going on.
What is his deal?
TL;DR My situation ship has been acting weird lately and I’m wondering if he’s seeing someone else. A woman who I don’t know has shown up in his photos previously. He said he wasn’t seeing anyone & would tell me if he ever did.
But last time we spoke I jokingly asked if he was with his girlfriend and he said yes. I asked if he was serious and why he never told me He was seeing someone and he said he would talk later. He hasn’t responded since and I’m Just confused.
The last time I saw him he said he had to work and wouldn’t get off until late, then he calls me and says he was 30 minutes away because of work, but his job doesn’t require him to travel. When I went to his place, he was really intoxicated, he was very affectionate and touchy and it seemed like he could’ve been on molly or ecstasy. He said he only smoked weed & drank wine. I asked if he did that at work because he was too messed up when I saw him after he claimed to have come back from work. He said he went to dinner after work with friends. He couldn’t finish at all & would go limp sometimes , but still tried to go at it for a long time. The same thing happened the next day, but we agreed to see each other and when I messaged him about meeting up at the time we agreed on, he left me on read for about an hour. He said he was too high to drive to me and I suggested I’d go to him. He left me on read some more and then said I could go. He was once again sluggish and couldn’t finish and wasn’t affectionate at all. I ended up leaving and the next day he sends me this broad snap, I’m sure he sent to other people of him going on vacation with a couple I’ve seen him with before. The last time he was with them, this mysterious girl was with them In photos. Is he hiding something?

2023.06.04 08:25 SingleMom24-1 Psych wards
I’m just curious. I see everyone always talking about how horrible psych wards are and I’m just wondering why? What happened to you guys? From the ages of 12 to 17 I begged my mom to put me back in the psych ward. I’m 25 now and I still think the psych ward (adolescent not adult) was an amazing 10 day vacation from life. But anytime I mention it anywhere, in this group, on random comments on facebook talking about it, I get angry reacts and hate and EVERYONE tells me I’m wrong and that psych wards aren’t fun which no I know they aren’t supposed to be but…
In my psych ward we had kids from 11-18. We had an outdoor area with tables and umbrellas, a basketball hoop and a bin full of basketballs, soccer balls, frisbees and jump ropes (yes. Jump ropes). We had a nurse come in to talk to us all for group (i don’t think nurse but idk the word) and she’d even just stop by on her breaks and teach us to make bracelets, When I got out I took ‘commissions’ (free) from kids at school and made bracelets for them. I remember the day I got out we were making brownies for one of the nurses birthday. There was a ‘teacher’ guy there that took us out to the local park three times in my ten days there. He took us on a tour of the hospital. There was a gaming room for crying out loud.
I know not all psych wards are the same but the way I see everyone talk about them and tell me I’m wrong (yeah I may be wrong about you guys experiences but this WAS mine) makes me feel like you guys were all medicated zombies stuck in bubble wall rooms. What goes on in psych wards that aren’t vacation homes like mine was?!

2023.06.04 08:23 DaniSpaniels Finally did it without stalemating
2023.06.04 08:21 bingalls72 I’d like to share an experience I had that has brought me here and given me faith for the first time in my life.
This is going to be long, but I hope after reading this I could possibly be welcomed into this community. I hear voices and have really unsettling intrusive thoughts that are largely tied to my anxiety and paranoia. This happened after a period of rampant pot use (usually combined with a lot of booze) and a few mushroom trips during my first year of college. While I have had 2 psychotic episodes I am not schizophrenic. They were drug induced. Anyways I became socially withdrawn and was so frightened to leave my school apartment that I would not go to classes or even the cafeteria. Everywhere I went on campus where I heard people speaking I would hear the most awful things. Like the whole school was bullying me like I was some kind of freak or pariah. Que more pot use and drinking to numb the pain. I would tell my friends that everywhere I go people were talking shit to me and I didn’t know why or what I did to deserve that treatment. I essentially would just try to numb the pain with weed and alcohol in vast amount. I also vaped high nicotine like it was air. It was on a constant basis. Anyways it ended up with me dropping out of school and ending up in the secure section of the psych ward for a month. I had the most traumatic psychotic episode my psychiatrist had ever heard of. Like a movie playing in my head I was convinced a man like frank castle was rounding up everyone I ever held dear to me even going back years, and the most wonderful friend group I have ever had, and was murdering them in slow and gruesome ways. It started with my roommates. I could see it like a movie and he’d tell me he was using birdshot to prolong their suffering and would shoot them in the face every time multiple times. I could hear constant gunshots and screaming in the exact voices of my dearest friends and family round the clock. I was at a point where my brain sort of shut down it’s emotional center to protect me from the pain. I would just watch the images play of my roommates, mother, father, sister, brother and grandparents being tortured to death by this man. I was just this empty shell, I think my brain was so overloaded by what it thought was happening it just completely shut down my ability to suffer. Which was awful to say the least. None of the medications were helping until the final one brought me back. Not phase 2 of the episode occurred. I don’t want to go into this part but it was just as detailed and horrifying. Essentially I had a religious delusion that I was in a sort of purgatory and was the horseman of death in the biblical apocalypse. It was like the “horseman of death” saw me as the perfect vessel because of all the death I had witnessed and the complete crushing of my soul. I embodied suffering and anguish. I was a very strong agnostic at the time so it was very strange but psychosis can typically cause delusions like this. See people believing they are Christ and such. The thing is I obviously did not want to be the horseman of death. Yet it was like everything that was happening in my mind would just play out like a movie and I was so out of it I believed it to be true. Also I should note while this was happening there were other people there in similar states screaming and crying and fighting the behavioral health techs. Eventually I got better and left but I hadn’t really been the same since. You can’t possibly imagine the relief and fucking peace I felt knowing that it was all fake, and that everyone I held dear to me was just fine. In the year following I took those meds and it caused much weight gain and I moved in with those friends but unfortunately I smoked pot again and had another psychotic episode. This one was a slow burner though. It ramped up very slowly through November and eventually I went to the doctor when I thought that a black lion demon called Buer was cursing me because a coven of witches wanted me dead. And I could see them doing a blood ritual. Essentially I felt a dark presence wash over me like all the joy and happiness and passions I had were completely taken from me. So I thought I would make a pact with this demon to go back to they way I was in order to keep being the bright person I was just a moment before. Well it turns out this deal meant eternal servitude to this demon. Again I was completely out of it and believing things I never would normally believe. And like a movie in my head these things would play out. Well I went immediately to get back on an antipsychotic and I drastically improved again. Now I know you may be wondering where the connection to heathenry happens. Well this is what happens yesterday. I was hearing voices saying rude things at work I had been feeling this growing darkness around me for a while. and I was just begging for help to anything that would listen. That’s when I heard a deep and calm voice tell me that I was one of his children (like distant af) like many others. I instinctively asked if this was Odin. And yeah that sounds crazy but to me my ancestors were from Sweden so there is Norse blood in me (albeit diluted obviously) and he said a few words and I asked if there was anything he could do to help me. And he said that he could help to help my affliction if the mind. I thanked him over and over and asked what I could do in return. Almost immediately I felt like something was cast out of me. And I felt like I was back to myself before all of the terrible experiences happens and just felt at peace for the first time since that downward spiral freshman year of college. He hasn’t spoken to me since and that makes sense. Since then I’ve been just so much more myself. I’m social and funny and feel able to self actualize. In fact I’m already on that path I think. It’s like he got rid of my mental illness and anxiety and paranoia. To be honest it’s the first miracle or whatever you call it I’ve ever experienced. Some of you guys might think im just schizophrenic but I can assure you that I am not. I don’t know if the demonic delusions were real but they certainly felt real. And all I know is I don’t feel at all like all that trauma is affecting me anymore. I am eternally grateful for what has happened and perhaps some of you will call me a nut job. But the truth is I’ve just had some drug induced psychosis’s. And I finally feel free of all of that. I am mostly curious to hear what people well versed have to say about my story. I hope I’m not ridiculed but am sorta expecting it. Anyways I am now going to learn everything I can about heathenry and try to put it to good use!

2023.06.04 08:16 vewwynoice Looking for a job that won’t make me miserable, as an autistic and mentally ill person with ADHD… does it exist? (USA)
Hello, like the title says I am autistic, have severe treatment-resistant depression (for over a decade now), and also have ADHD. This is all relevant because it greatly affects what type of job I can do, not just which ones I can perform well at but which ones I can keep a job at without having to quit due to it making me miserable. I’m bad at trying to explain things about myself due to the aforementioned issues but I will try, feel free to ask any questions you have and I will do my best to answer. I’ve talked to people about this issue before (family, my therapist in college, friends) but they just end up getting frustrated with me because none of their suggestions would work, which is kind of funny since I experience the same frustration except I can’t just walk away, this is my life.
I will include more info about my work and educational background below, but I was wondering if a job matching the following description exists, and if it does, would I be in any way qualified for it: The job consists of me doing whatever productive thing(s) largely on my own, largely unsupervised, with few disturbances; there needs to be at least a little critical thinking involved, not something like an assembly line repeating the same exact same over and over; it can’t involve much manual labor; I could wear earphones to listen to podcasts / music etc. and have my phone out at least some of the time as long as I got the work done satisfactorily. Does anyone know of a job like this?
I currently work at the front desk of a hotel. I started in the field almost exactly a year ago, I started out working nights only after it was suggested to me as a job that didn’t involve doing much actual work. However, I was too good at the actual job parts of the job so I got moved to working day shifts. Eventually they kept increasing the amount of work I was expected to do (some weeks I ended up working 80 or more hours) without any corresponding pay raise, until I couldn’t take it anymore and got a job at a different hotel after working there for 6 months. It’s been almost 6 months at the new hotel, and while they don’t work me half-to-death hours-wise like the old hotel, the job itself involves quite a bit more work, and the schedule is crazy. (On the new “regular schedule” starting next week, in one week I will work two 7am-3pm shifts, one 3pm-11pm shift, and two overnight 11pm-7am shift… with one “day off” between working an overnight and a 7am.)
The problem is not that I am bad at my job, in fact I am very good at it, but the toll it takes on my mental health. Also, I want to move to a bigger city soon, and at those hotels usually more than one person works at the front desk at a time, and I can’t do a job where I am always being observed. My favorite parts of my job are preparing the reservations for check-in, there are lots of details that need paid attention to, different types of reservations have to be set up differently, and I am very good at doing so accurately, I’m good at following a sort of flowchart in my head, being aware of multiple rules at once if that makes sense, and when I was first trained for the job I was told I picked it up the quickest out of anyone the managers had ever trained. I like assigning rooms to guests based on their preferences, making the keys, personalizing their registration cards based on details like their rewards club status and whether they’ve stayed at the hotel before, etc.
As for other jobs I’ve tried, I was a substitute teacher for a few months (did not enjoy besides when I got to just read a book for most of the day because the work left for them was worksheets, I’m not a fan of children and I don’t like explaining things to people, or rather I am bad at it due to my language processing disorder) and worked as a cashier at a grocery store for less than a month because I was actually about to end it all from how miserable it made me. As for my education, I have a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science (regretfully) from a good school (Carleton College) with a not-great GPA (2.75-ish) and am unable to pursue further education due to an inability to write essays (due to ADHD, and a lack of funds).
I am sorry if this was too long or unfocused, but any help or advice would be deeply appreciated, as my mental health is suffering a lot and I do unfortunately need to make money to survive. It would also help if the job paid at least as much as my current job (I make $16.50 as a hotel front desk clerk in a city close to Nashville) as I am trying to save up enough money to move out of an emotionally abusive family living situation.

2023.06.04 08:07 Comfortable_Study_11 Perdido Street Station is not a good book
A coworker of mine recommended Perdido Street Station recently, and as the name China Mieville had come up related to other books and authors I've read and I was looking for something new, I thought I'd give it a try.
In this post, I'm going to try to organize my thoughts about why I hate this book and why it is objectively bad. Not in my opinion, not according to my tastes or preferences. Objectively bad. In the same way as the Holocaust was an objective tragedy.
- Nonsensical world-building. China Mieville is often credited for building a believable, immersive, vivid or other such positively described world. I didn't believe that Bas Lag was, or could be, a "real" place for a second.
- Let's start with the main races. We have humans, bug-headed people, flying bird-headed people, cactus people, and frog people. All of these seem to fall into the Star Trek alien trope, where the body is basically humanoid, and only the head is different. This is not believable. Further, I never really got a sense that their cultures were so different. The bird people only got developed near the end of the book, and that was just enough to explain Yag's crime to the readers. One interaction with a group of city-dwelling bird people seems transposed from a British crime movie where the gang leader is reasserting authority of the group, in exactly the same way as a human would. I don't get any sense that they are a fully developed species with their own cultures and ways of thinking. Lin, a member of the bug-headed people, comes of as a typical female human character, despite coming from a species that seems to have collectivism built in to their society and their genes. The cactus people are never really explained at all. Like, do they use photosynthesis? Do they eat food? What's their culture? I just kept imagining people walking around cosplaying these different races but all being essentially humans.
- Word and concept choice. At one point, Mieville has a character use the word "capiche." Mind you, Italy does not exist in this world, nor does the Mafia, nor should an Italian American gangster word like "capiche." Similarly, he never says anything about God, Christianity, Judaism, etc, but he borrows the concept of "Hell" and "Hellkin." If there is a hell, there should be a heaven, right? And if heaven and hell exist, there's a god, right? These are simply thrown out there, and never elaborated on again. For money, he uses real world currency names, such as mark, shekel, and Guinea. These have no place in an imaginary world with no connection to our own.
Isaac is a scientist, and while I don't think it is important to get science "right" in a work that is fictional and that is specifically NOT science fiction, the scientific concepts explained here don't make sense. It reminded me more of the characters in Frank Herbert's Destination: Void talking about transistors, circuits, blah-blah matrices, and yadda-yadda amplifiers. The blah-blah matrices and yadda-yadda amplifiers don't exist, and spending so much time on them didn't make any sense in a novel with so little action. Neither does the number of pages that Mieville devotes to explaining unified field theory add to my understanding or enjoyment of the novel. Nothing in the novel really hinges on this, and the fact that Torque seems to throw a wrench in this idea of having a unified field at all makes me more annoyed at spending time trying to understand what Isaac is getting on about. The idea of "crisis" and a "crisis engine" in particular seems like a scientifically illiterate person's interpretation of chaos and complexity theory. 3. "History." The way the "history" is presented here feels very much like it needs those scare quotes. Are these places and events actually relevant to the story? How much thought was put into them and their order? The way that so many are mentioned and then just forgotten really makes me wonder how seriously I should take them.
2.Poor word choices and sentence construction.
- I've never read a book that made me want to take a shower before. When Mieville describes the city of New Crobuzon, he relies heavily on words with negative emotional valance and bodily fluid language. As a small set of examples, the air is almost always described as having a stench, reeking, being rank, putrid, noisome, being polluted, etc. Water is usually described as being fecal, mucal, fetid, rancid, oily, being polluted, etc. Buildings are moldy, desquamating, dirty. Factories don't emit or release smoke: they "retch" smog. Guns don't fire bullets or shoot bullets: they "vomit" bullets. A sack that is full is described as "bloated." A pile of electrical components is for some reason described as "vile." For 712 fucking pages! I don't have a problem with bodily fluids, and I don't mind when other writers describe a slum or paint a picture of a nasty scene. But in Perdido Street Station, there is no let up. I can't remember a single instance of something that was described in positive terms. Even the first time Isaac has sex with Lin, he is described as almost vomiting because her antennae were waving in such a disgusting fashion. And they went on to have a long term romance! Who almost vomits the first time they have sex with someone they love? Why describe it in this negative way? I don't understand the goal of using language in this way.
- Related to the point above, the book is monotonous in how it describes the world. Everything is negative and dirty. For 712 pages.
- Characterization is done in the typical spoon-fed fashion that seems to be popular in many genres of fiction nowadays. I'm thinking of one example in particular, so here it is.
"Lin and Isaac snatched furtive nights together when they could. Isaac could tell that all was not well with her. Once, he sat her down and demanded that she tell him what was troubling her, why she had not entered the Shintacost Prize this year (something which had given her usual bitchery about the standard of the shortlist an added bitterness), what she was working on, and where. There was no sign of any artistic debris at all in any of her rooms. Lin had stroked his arm, clearly grateful for his concern. But she would tell him nothing. She said she was working on a piece of which she was tentatively very proud. She had found a space that she could not and did not want to talk about, in which she was producing a large piece that he mustn’t ask her about. It was not as if she had disappeared from the world. Once a fortnight, perhaps, she was back in one of the Salacus Fields bars, laughing with her friends, if with a little less vigour than she had two months ago.
She teased Isaac about his anger at Lucky Gazid, who had vanished, with suspiciously good timing. Isaac had told Lin about his inadvertent sampling of dreamshit, and had raged around looking to punish Gazid. Isaac had described the extraordinary grub which seemed to thrive on the drug. Lin had not seen the creature, had not been back to Brock Marsh since that forlorn day the previous month, but even allowing for a degree of exaggeration on Isaac’s part, the creature sounded extraordinary. Lin thought fondly of Isaac as she adeptly changed the subject. She asked him what nourishment he thought the caterpillar might gain from its peculiar food, and sat back as his face expanded with fascination and he would tell her enthusiastically that he did not know, but that these were a few of his ideas. She would ask him to try to explain to her about crisis energy, and whether he thought it would help Yagharek to fly, and he would talk animatedly, drawing her diagrams on slips of paper.
It was easy to work on him. Lin felt, sometimes, that Isaac knew he was being manipulated, that he felt guilty about the ease with which his worries for her were transformed. She sensed gratitude in his lurching changes of subject, along with contrition. He knew it was his role to be worried for her, given her melancholy, and he was, he truly was, but it was an effort, a duty, when most of his mind was crammed with crisis and grub food. She gave him permission not to worry, and he accepted it with thanks. Lin wanted to displace Isaac’s concerns for her, for a time. She could not afford for him to be curious. The more he knew, the more she was in danger. She did not know what powers her employer might possess: she doubted he was capable of telepathy, but she was risking nothing. She wanted to finish her piece, to take the money and to get away from Bonetown."
Let me remind you, this book is 712 pages long. He takes approximately two pages, from 208-209 in the Kindle edition, to detail all this information about the relationship between Isaac and Lin. This is just bad writing. Some of this could have been handled in short dialogues embedded in other scenes, and some of it should be left to the reader to piece together. This is an example of what Steven Erikson described as pablum in his post a few years ago about effective characterization.
- Overly descriptive language.
The great cable slipped in spurts into the water by the riverwall. It plunged absolutely precipitately into the darkness, hitting the surface at 90 degrees."
(Perdido Street Station, p. 603)
Why, the fuck, does he describe the cable going into the water in such a redundant and repetitive way? This is not some pivotal event in the story. It is related to an important plan, but there is no need for the drama around this singular event. If I spent this many words talking about a character picking up a pencil, I had better have a real good reason for doing so. Mieville does this all the time. The above mentioned meetings with the Hellkin are another prime example. He spends pages describing the procedures for meeting them and the actual meeting, they add nothing to the story, AND they make his world seem poorly thought out. What did he gain by describing them? Hell if I know!
- Plot Structure and Pacing
- Stupid plot events. Mieville goes out of his way to show that the evil soul-eating moths are not damaged very much by regular physical attacks. And then, the first moth is killed by unceremoniously dropping a heavy weight on it, like something out of a Wile E. Coyote skit. Three of the remaining moths are killed using more appropriate means, but... Look, I know there were the infamous Milner experiments on rats where they'd press a button to get something like an orgasm, and once they could do this, they'd basically just press the button until they died. I don't know of any actual living organisms that will, for example, eat food so much that they physically explode, ignoring Monty Python sketches to the contrary. It's funny, but it doesn't seem like a realistic way to take out soul-eating creatures.
Another example is Jack Half-a-Prayer. He is mentioned maybe twice in the book, very obliquely, before suddenly near the climax he shows up and just starts helping the main characters out in the middle of a fire fight. If he had been foreshadowed more, if there were some stronger motivation than just "Oh my main characters are in a pinch! I know! I'll have so-and-so come!" I might have accepted this, but not the way it is done in the book.
- Pacing. This book overstays its welcome. Mieville creates too many new ideas and just throws them out without exploring their implications, and moves on to the next, and the next, and the next. (Sinistrals and Dextrals, I'm looking at you! Does anyone even remember this from the book?) Then he spends 10 pages describing the fucking Hellkin, or 20 pages revealing that one of characters was a government spy. Or the passage above where he tries to do a novelized version of a relationship montage to show the development of Lin and Isaac's relationship over time. It is too scattered and too focused on the stupidest things at the same time. Why do we need a multi-page graphically detailed moth orgy? In a 712 page book that already has too many adjectives and adverbs? By the 300 page mark, I was regularly having to psych myself into going on to the next page.
- Forgiveness.
One of my favorite fantasy series of all-time, The Malazan Book of the Fallen, takes empathy, compassion, and forgiveness as some of the major themes. I was at first shocked by how often the "evil villain" turned out to be someone with a tortured youth, tragic past, or some other circumstance that explained their behavior. And at the end of many of these tales, that dastardly sinner was taken off to be reformed, or taken under someone's wing to try and make up for the harm they'd caused. Yes, sometimes they were killed or maimed in gruesome fashion, but many had a chance to reform.
In contrast, in Perdido Street Station, it is revealed that Yagharek committed a serious crime among his people, for which he had his wings cut off without anesthesia. Isaac agrees to help him become able to fly anyway, and along the way we see Yagharek risk his life many times to protect this city that disgusts him (as evidenced by the large increase in those bodily fluid words during the Yagharek sections proceeding each part) and to protect his friends. Now, if we could get inside Yagharek's head during these moments, and see that he's thinking "Oh, this had so better be worth it! I really don't give a fuck about these people and I just wanna fly again." That would be one thing. Near the end, it is revealed that Yagharek basically committed the crime of rape (which is framed as second degree choice theft, choice theft being an interesting sounding cultural concept, but which actually makes no sense if you try to work out the implications of how a legal system based on it would work....). Isaac is asked not to build the promised wings for Yagharek, and he ends up abandoning him.
Now, look, I'm not condoning rape. I think it is a horrendous crime. As bad or worse than murder. People do horrible things. Sometimes with intention, sometimes in the heat of the moment. Of course, getting caught in the heat of the moment doesn't excuse the action. One of the problems is that Mieville doesn't reveal much about Yagharek's psychological state afterwards. We don't know, for example, if like Red's character in The Shawshank Redemption, he feels sorry for what he did as a hot-headed, stupid young man, and that every day he regrets what he did. I think a lot hinges on that. If Yagharek is really just looking for a way to void his punishment, Isaac is probably right to refuse him. If Yagharek regrets what he did, and wants to make up for it somehow, and needs something that will make his life worth continuing, Isaac probably should have helped him instead of being a closed-minded judgmental prick.
Given Yagharek's actions throughout the book, Isaac comes off as an asshole, and to the extent that his judgment matches Mieville's, so does Mieville.
- "Political" Themes I see a lot of discussion about how Mieville is very political and how he's a communist / socialist, and wants to take down capitalism, etc, etc. I picked up on a lot of that in PSS, but I think Mieville handles these themes very poorly. As a better example of a deconstruction / take-down of capitalism, I'd again recommend The Malazan Book of the Fallen, specifically Midnight Tides and Reaper's Gale, both of which examine the problem in more creative and deeper ways than Mieville does in PSS.
So that's my hot take on Perdido Street Station. You're free to disagree, but I'm tired of hearing so many demonstrably untrue claims made about the quality of Mieville's writing, in particular his descriptions and his world building as seen in PSS. I know that PSS was his second book, and he might have matured a lot as a writer since then (the same coworker who recommended him said his style doesn't change much in later books, but I can't judge them myself). But 712 pages is more than enough in one lifetime for me.

So my wife is turning 40, not that you would think it if you saw her, or talk to her. She is beautiful, funny, and a silly, wonderful, loving child at heart.
I just want to make her feel happy on her birthday. We have already invited many of her good friends over for the event.
I just want to make it extra special for her. Thanks

2023.06.04 07:52 Justhuman963 Killer 60s
I started renting this house a few weeks ago. It was a nice 2 bedroom bathroom house with a 2 car garage and a sizable driveway. The grass was in very good health and the wooden fence was always painted a very bright and clean shade of white every few weeks. It was like a house from the 50s because it was. There was something charming about it, the wooden paneling, the porch with the backyard deck, the grill, the cozy little shack out back full of tools, and the lawnmower. I was allowed to rent this out for as long as I needed so I could write a report about a murder. One that happened in this very house in fact. All those years ago a couple lived here, they were crazy about each other. And some of the neighbors as well. For over 2 decades they poisoned, stabbed, and shot various other families. It was never clear why they did it or what motives they had.
In the very end, it was chalked up as pure insanity, a pair of psychopaths married together. They had a son and daughter, but the grandparents had taken them out of that household after finding out about the first murder, they kept quiet. This house has been turned into a sort of museum and rental space over the past few years. It was closed off to the public for over 3 decades but recently opened back up for people to look at. Turns out that renting out and giving tours of a haunted house was profitable.
Oh, I forgot to mention that it was haunted by the souls of the couple who killed those families back in the day. This was something I was having a hard time documenting in the report I was writing. I mean, come on, a haunted house? What the hell is this, a horror novel? I was dead wrong about it though. It all started one night when this one song started playing on a phonograph in the living room. It was Put Your Head On My Shoulder by Paul Anka. I can't get it out of my head. It played over and over every night.
The nights would go the same way over and over. I would go to bed at around 10 PM. After that, the house would fall into an odd silence. The lights came on in the living room and that song would start playing itself. The movement of footsteps could be heard as they creaked against the hardwood floors.
"Please, come out and join us. It's quite a fine night.", a female voice would call out.
"Come now, be our guest, and take a seat out here. We'll drink tea and listen to the radio.", a male voice would soon follow up with the woman's voice.
It was not safe to get up and check it out, despite their words of assurance. Doing so could bring unknown results. It may have been safe, but something in my body told me otherwise. I would stay in bed until 6 AM, that's the time everything would fade away and turn to normal. Their little dance and music would go on all night, but I would still be able to sleep. While dozing off it seems like the music would go silent despite still playing. I guess their only goal at first is to draw you out.
It's been a few days of this before things took a step up. I've been hearing...people? It's almost like a party happened during the night hours. Again I find that I cease to hear it once I fall asleep. I guess these little events are mere attempts at giving incentives for me to leave the room rather than to torture me. Although every so often there'll be a knock on the door asking me to come out. It only lasts a second before the person walks away. They're very polite about it though and they don't stick around, merely ask me and then vanish once they don't hear an answer in 5 seconds.
During the daytime, I've been logging this information into my reports. I feel like I'm going insane slightly, these can't be real, right? I must be breathing some sort of hallucinogenic gas being pumped in here. Got the vents checked out, nothing wrong with them. They did need to be cleaned though so at least I had an excuse to get them worked on without looking like a crazy person. I never find a trace of this couple during the day. No shoes, footprints, altered objects, nothing. Not a single thing moved out of place or touched. Hell, things seem slightly cleaner in the morning. It may be the fact that I try to keep things as they are though.
I spend my days walking around the neighborhood. The people living around here are mostly millennials. The ones who either inherited these houses and chose to rent them out or live in them instead of selling them. Or renting them to cut down certain parts of the mortgage. I drive into the city and head to a coffee shop I like for a few hours. I leech off the free wifi so I can get my things done. There's free wifi at the house, but it's a gamble on the speeds and connection. I also like starting my day off with coffee and going about my hours getting cake and a few sandwiches.
It's now week 3 and I'm almost done. I was given 4 weeks before the deadline to make a report on this house so the people I work for can get some info. They're not exactly well informed since most of the people have either died, "killed themselves", or simply walked out after a few days. The only reason I've survived this long is that I read every last bit of data I could from both historical records and the half-assed papers people put together before throwing their badges to the side and working for another newspaper. I'm barely getting anything interesting so far aside from the fever dream of a stay I'm getting from this place.
These days during the third week have been weird. I wake up at the same time only to hear humming. Musical humming, no particular song, just random notes. This is the wife humming while making some sort of breakfast. Her name is Rose, and her husband is Clark. Can't believe I've been referring to them as the husband and the wife all this time. It changes during these days but it ranges from bacon and eggs to cereal and orange juice with toast to a full pancake breakfast. They got bigger and bigger every day. On day one I stayed in my room until the humming stopped. Only lasted for about 15-20 minutes. After that, I would check the kitchen to find a freshly cooked breakfast. Rose wasn't anywhere in sight though.
I was hesitant to eat it at first since I wasn't sure what would happen. But I was hungry that morning and didn't feel like making the drive to the city so early in the morning. The food was good and I didn't feel poisoned or anything. I would set the dishes in the sink and take a shower. Not even 15 minutes later after getting out of the shower and getting dressed, the dishes were washed, dry, and sitting in the cupboards. I'm honestly not sure why people have been dying or quitting this trip. So far I've stayed out of their way and never really messed with anything. I feel like a guest here and act as one which is probably the key here. You can't live here, merely stay for a certain amount of time. I don't know how long that time frame is though.
Week 4, these last 7 days are my final chances to wrap this up before the deadline. I am nowhere closer to finding out how these past journalists died, why this couple did what they did, or anything like that. The best I'm going to do is probably pump out a short guide on how not to die here. This week was the hardest. The haunting extends all day. You see, the morning would start off as normal like last week. Waking up, hearing the humming, waiting for it to stop, eating breakfast, putting the dishes in the sink, etc. The real difference is that they are now visible and active all day and night.
Clark spends his day sitting on an armchair reading a newspaper, funny detail is that the date of the newspaper follows our date, Only the month and day, not the year. He is always dressed in a white dress shirt with the top button left undone. Simple ironed black dress pants with a leather belt neatly wrapped around them. Brown leather shoes, more like loafers actually. The kind of dress shoes you slip on. They were always shined and clean. His right leg is on the floor with his left leg stretched over his right. The newspaper covered his face. The only thing that could be seen from the other side was the occasional cigarette smoke puffing up.
The cigarette never had a scent though, phantom tobacco, funny. Rose would be sitting on the couch most of the time either knitting, reading a magazine, or watching the TV. It was a large black and white tv, the outside made of hardwood, the thick glass of the display, and the antenna sticking out of the top. Can't miss those two large dials on it. There was always something different on TV, one moment it was a cooking show, the news, and even a Western movie. The volume was always able to be heard but sort of faint as well. Kind of like a sort of background noise you barely notice after a while.
It was not a good idea to verbally or physically interact with them in any way. Not even looking at them was an option. I've never seen either of their face outside of photos because I'm always staring at my phone, or laptop, even intentionally staring at the floor. The carpet was very pleasant to look at. They never spoke during the day. Rose would sometimes clean the house. Sometimes dusting, vacuuming, and even washing the dishes. I lied, I've caught small glimpses of their faces from reflections. They are in their young age from the 60s, the prime of their life right before the major kill streak.
I can't even explain any of this. This house could slowly be turning into a self-contained instance of time. But that wouldn't make sense since the wifi here works, my money is up to date, and my tech can be charged. A few of the outlets were swapped out for more modern ones. Only the ones not already connected to appliances or the TV itself. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner would always appear on the table at different times of the day. Breakfast at 6 AM, lunch at noon, and dinner at 6 PM. I would always eat in silence and put the dishes in the sink. I've tried rinsing the dishes before at least but the water never touched them. I don't know how to explain it, but I would turn on the water and it would just phase through the dishware. I gave up after one day.
Well, this is the final day. I'll be scheduling this report to send itself in a few hours. I don't even want to manually do it since I'm rinsing my hands off this worthless paperwork once I leave. There was one thing I wanted to check out though. I'm going to continue this bit on my phone.
I always wanted to check out the basement. I forgot that it even existed this whole time. The door wasn't blocked or locked at all luckily. The door opened just fine, but the lightbulb turned on for about a second before blowing out. It didn't actually explode, but the light sort of just flashed and burned out like a flashbang. The steps are quite loud as they creak. I'm not sure what this smell is, it's like a mixture of gas and...rotten meat?
The door just closed itself, the only light I have down here is from my phone flashlight. There's some kind of red puddle leading to a room down here. I'm not liking it. I'm writing this live so my boss can read this. Yes, I know, hard to believe I'm actually being productive.
This...this is blood. There's a body in here. No wait, multiple bodies down here. I can see dozens or even hundreds of flies just covering these bodies. I think I recognize some of the badges around the necks. All of these bodies smell fresh. Is time frozen down here or something?
...shit. There are footsteps coming down here. I'm squeezed behind a broken-down fridge, perhaps Clark will just give up his search in a few minutes. My 911 alert just failed. This one message will probably be the last thing that'll automatically upload. I think I just made a horrible mistake. I wasn't supposed to come down here. If you're reading this, please call for hel---

I recently got to rent out a home from the 60s. This house is famous because of a couple that used to live here from the 60s to the 80s. They were known for killing people and families during this time period before finally being caught by the police. These were the things I've learned during my stay in this house:
- During the first week there will be dancing. From 10 PM to 6 AM there will be activity in the living room. The couple will appear out there and dance to a song called Put Your Head On My Shoulder along with a few others.
- They will assure you that it's fine to come out and join them. Don't do it. I've never attempted so I don't know if anything happens, but trust your gut.
- During week 2 they will start hosting a "party". The sound of many people will come from the living room as if people have come over for the evening. Every few hours the door will knock as someone on the other end will invite you to join everyone.
- During week 3 the haunting will break into the day. During the morning the wife will be in the kitchen making breakfast, do not leave your room until she is done. You can use the bathroom, just don't look or enter the kitchen. You will hear her humming for about 20 minutes. Once it stops, you can go about your day. The food is perfectly fine to eat and is actually encouraged. Make sure you put your dishes in the sink.
- During week 4, if you've survived this long, they will roam the house 24/7. Do not make eye contact with either of them. They'll mainly stay in the living room. The husband sitting on the armchair reading a newspaper and the wife reading a magazine or knitting. Occasionally she'll clean the house. If you are going to be in the living room, keep your eyes low and do not verbally interact with them.
- If you do...I'm not sure. There have been reports of them killing people during this time. Acting hostile at them or trying to kill them will not end well. Many have rented this place out and almost all of them have died. Some were filled with stab wounds, some were in the tub, drowned, and others were framed as if it were suicide. You may wonder why the government hasn't merely torn the house down. I'm not sure. It seems like the money they make from this place keeps it running longer.
- They will not force themselves into the room during the night. Unless you interact with them, they will not attack or come your way. Any food or snacks prepared is fully safe and encouraged to consume. Make sure you set dishes and silverware in the sink. They'll be cleaned when you're not working. Staying outside of the house is your best chance to live. Follow these rules.
