Synedrion may be my most hated faction in any game.

Thu, 05/02/2024 - 22:21

Okay, normally I really appreciate when a character or faction doesn't just charge in while being right because they're right, and will actually think beyond the next fight and show serious moments of doubt.

But Synedrion is taking the piss here. These dumb fucks have so much power and could be doing the most to save the world from a mind altering fog full of monsters, but they've spent the last few decades sitting in Star Trek looking Communes debating each other, and they're immediately crippled by any and every moral quandary that comes their way.

Oh, people are starving. Why don't you genetically modify your crops to increase yield? "Oh, well that would be an expression of dominance over the ecosystem, which is a form of strength based hierarchy, and such systems of oppression are ultimately what's responsible for the Pandora Virus" Yeah, sure, you nail a perfect human Utopia with zero hierarchies first and get back to us.

I don't easily use these kinds of insults, but these people are absolute pussy cowards and are responsible for the deaths caused by their inaction. They could be doing so much while still preserving their strong democracy.

I already love the whole vibe of the indomitable human spirit and strong principals and a responsibility to use power effectively rather than hide away from it out of fear, so I would have loved New Jericho no matter what, but putting them next to these absolute worms has just made them seem even cooler. Fuck, even the Disciples come off a bit better for being next to them, they still found some kind of power through all this adversity and are seizing it and using it.

I had a physically/emotionally abusive father growing up. How do I choose a good husband in-spite of being raised the way that I was? Any Advice?(34 F)

Thu, 05/02/2024 - 22:21

I've gone no contact with my father due to him pulling a gun out on me during an argument that we had two years ago surrounding money. My only other father figure, who was my uncle, left my life at the age of 8 when he started using drugs. He ended up in a rehab facility and ultimately died there when I was 26. I've been told that my Grandfather was a good man, but he died two months before I was born. I could use any advice or tips on how to choose a good man to have a relationship/marriage with. I also should add that I've been in therapy for a year.

Ford Extended Service Plan issues

Thu, 05/02/2024 - 22:20

I bought a certified preowned Ford truck last year. The truck has remaining Ford powertrain and extra care extended service plans. My truck was having issues and it took two months to get it scheduled.

When finally brought in the dealerships tech found issues with the front axle shafts and related seals as well as the pinion seal. All parts that are expressly stated as covered by the plans I have and are considered powertrain components. However, when the tech put it into the computer it says no coverage. So I called ford and they use my vin and again say no coverage for those parts. I had them check the plans and they said they were active and I had them read the covered parts and it was like being in the twilight zone and they just kept saying “yes I see it says axle shafts and all seals and gaskets are covered in the plan but the part number says no coverage so there is nothing we can do sorry.” Me: Okay can you read me what the parts numbers given by the tech are associated with? “Yes, the parts says front axle shaft assembly, front axle seal, and pinion seal.” Me: “do you see why I want to escalate this further to see what is wrong?” Them: “I’m sorry that must be frustrating but if the part number doesn’t come up in the system it’s not covered and there is nothing to be done.”

After 5 hours of calls I finally get a person willing to do the extra effort who sees the discrepancy objectively and they put those part numbers in independent from my VIN and they showed up as core parts that are covered under any service plan. He confirms my service plans and says there must be a technical error and suggest I have the dealer submit a claim that will be denied so they can see what the error is. But until there is a claim there is nothing they can do. So I call the dealer and they say that’s not how it works and they won’t work on the truck and won’t submit a claim. They’ve had it now 4 days. I’m supposed to have rental car coverage but only if it’s a covered repair. So now I’m without a vehicle.

There is zero question this repair is a covered repair (axle shafts and seals are the example of covered parts) but some glitch is present. This happened once before but the Ford service plan rep figured it out quick and it never got to this level and ultimately was covered. I’ve had electronic repairs and powertrain repairs both covered by this esp in the past….

My question is. Do I need a lawyer and if so what type of attorney do I need?

Trying to figure out what I want

Thu, 05/02/2024 - 22:17

My (23F) husband (27m) recently cheated by way of sending messages and nudes to someone he met off of Reddit who turned out to be a scammer and tried to blackmail him.

Earlier this week, I came home as my husband was in the shower after work. When he came out and had gotten dressed, he came to me with a panicked look on his face and told me that he had fucked up. I asked him what happened and he said that he had been messaging someone who he thought was a bot on Snapchat and that they took his pictures and screenshots of their conversation and were trying to blackmail him. I asked him what kind of messages and what kind of pictures, to which he told me that the messages were sexual but that the pictures were only of his face. I asked him if he had any identifying information in the background of those pictures and he had said no.

My initial response wasn’t even about the idea of him messaging someone else. It was about internet safety and not ever sending pictures to someone you didn’t know. I more or less lectured him for about 5 minutes before I had walked away to get a drink and try to cool off. As I was sitting, I started getting notifications on Facebook in which someone had been posting pictures and commenting on a lot of my older posts. As I opened it up, this person was a man with a profile saying he was in Australia and he was commenting on all of my posts that I had tagged my husband in that he was cheating on me, screenshots of his face pictures, and to message him for more details.

I went back to our bedroom where my husband was sitting and absolutely exploded on him. I showed him what this person was posting and started trying to block and report this person and deleting all of the comments. He looked at his own profile and he also had similar comments coming in. As everything started to set in, I realized that this was cheating and started going off about that piece of it. Specifically that him and I had been married for less than 7 months and that everything had been going well up until then. At one point, I told him to get out of our apartment to which he said that he didn’t want to, that he would be happy to sleep in the other room, but that he seriously did not want to leave.

After yelling some more, I told him that he needed to tell his mother or I would. At this point, I think he had just accepted what he had done because he told me to just go ahead. So I did call his mother to inform her of what her son had done. She at first didn’t quite understand the full scope of what had happened and just wanted to know if everything had been deleted and removed. After talking and explaining some more, she agreed that he had messed up and she began to reprimand him. At that point, I was seriously starting to think about what had happened and became more and more upset. I ended up taking my phone back, asking her to give him a call, telling him once more that I wanted him out, and leaving the apartment still in my work clothes with just my purse.

That night, I met with a friend and told her everything and we just sat for hours and spoke about various things. I ultimately landed on that I thought that it was probably someone who was fake and that although it sucked, it was probably a quick 15 minute or less conversation and that it wasn’t going to be a huge deal. At the time, I was under the impression that he hadn’t sent any other kinds of pictures and that he maybe thought it was AI generated or something like that. I think now that I was just trying to soothe myself. While I was out, he sent me a text that he was “so incredibly sorry, he loved me, and that he was at his parents”. His mother also texted me to let me know that he had made it over there and was upset but not talking much. I truly thought that I was going to be able to get past it since we loved each other so much.

Forwarding to today, we called and spoke on the phone. I asked him to fully recap what happened in detail. He said that he had been bored at work, waiting to go home so he went on Reddit and saw someone posting their Snapchat name wanting to talk. Not anything sexual, just to talk. He then went and added them, talked to them on his drive home through traffic for about 1.5 hours, and then it turned sexual and he had sent them a partial nude.i asked him what his intention was behind it all and he said that he was just bored and when it turned that way he wasn’t even thinking and just did it. All in all, it was a 2 hour interaction between the two of them that ended in this person wanting $80 to not send me the screenshots.

I told my husband exactly how I felt; that if he were in my situation he would be pissed, that I am so incredibly hurt, that I don’t understand why someone would do that, and that we took a vow to stay loyal to each other. He apologized and said that it was his biggest regret and that his parents are not letting him forget that. I asked him what he wanted to do, he said that he wanted to not only do couples counseling, but that he also wanted to do his own and that he wanted to work on us no matter what it took. I asked him if anything like it had ever happened before - both cheating and blackmail. He said it hasn’t and I do believe him. He has always been upfront, honest, and very unable to keep a secret.

I was so upset in that moment that I kept going back to the fact that we took vows and that I would never even think about doing this to him. He asked if I had thought about divorce to which I told him that I was, but it isn’t as simple as just signing the papers. Him and I live comfortably enough, but by no means do we have the extra money for a divorce. I had also moved 2 hours away from my hometown while we were dating and have created a life and career for myself here. My hometown is a traumatic place for me, and I do not have the option of moving back home with my parents. Divorce would mean needing to find a roommate, and I’m not sure that’s something that I can afford at this time.

I explained that all to him to which he said that he wants to work on everything because he loves me, not because of any financial reason or anything else. He told me that he hopes that my financial concerns weren’t the only reason. I told him that I had also spoken with my therapist and that we both agreed that he should spend maybe a few weeks at his parents so we don’t just act like it didn’t happen and fall back into the old routine. We ended the call by me telling him that if he wants to work on it, he should schedule both couples counseling and his own therapy. I said that I wasn’t sure what I wanted yet and that knowing it was 2 hours and that he intentionally went and found this person and didn’t stop it from turning sexual had changed a lot for me. I asked him to tell his family to just give me some space as well - his sister and I are close and she had called me last night to talk it over. That conversation in itself didn’t go well for me, but it’s beside the point.

All in all, I am so confused, hurt, enraged and discouraged. I think that deep down, I know who he is in his heart and that I do believe him when he says he wasn’t thinking. I don’t think it’s an excuse however, and think that he needs to grow up and work on himself. I miss him so much and catch myself wishing he was still here with me and remembering all the good. Before now, we never had a fight that a good night of sleep couldn’t fix. I know that infidelity is something that I will always think about for the rest of my life. I know that I didn’t do anything wrong or anything to deserve this. I just don’t know if I am making myself think that we can work through this out of fear of the unknown, or if it is coming from a sincere place. I don’t know what to do or feel about it just yet. I hope that we can move past it, but I don’t know if I’m being naively optimistic.

I am curious to hear if anyone has experienced something similar and how it’s worked out for you. I think I also don’t want to feel alone in this all either

Suzanne and Kevin Eliminated! Favorite Antagonist Round 23: Follow the Link to Eliminate Your Least Favorite Character

Thu, 05/02/2024 - 22:13

Vote here: https://strawpoll.com/poy9W9kGPgJ

Suzanne shows up on Dylan’s doorstop before Christmas, with the most perfect manipulative tool for Dylan: a younger sibling, in the form of Erica. She goes straight to his heart almost immediately which leads Dylan to offer them a place to stay, a job at the Peach Pit and $5K.

Jim Walsh advises caution every step of the way but Dylan is determined to ignore every red flag - Suzanne’s refusal to give her information for a background check to receive the $5,000, the $25,000 Jim finds in her account or her eventual admittance that she doesn’t know if Erica is Jack’s daughter or not.

Kevin enters the picture and they amp up the long con. Kevin’s a scientist who conveniently studies the single issue Dylan’s ever cared about - cleaning up the oceans. Dylan and Kevin make a big business plan to clean the seas and also make a LOT of money. In his greed, Dylan cuts out Jim and his business partner and any financial security he had.

Jim fires Dylan as a client, and the next day Dylan signs the papers to release his millions to a joint fund. Within the hour, Kevin and Suzanne steal his money and head to Brazil. This sends Dylan onto a months long descent into alcoholism and drug use. Once he’s sobered up, Jonesy and Valerie join him in Punta Brava to steal his money back. They were living as Carl and Kitty Cavendish when Jonesy steals the money back and they are arrested by the police. Suzanne ultimately loses custody of Erica to Iris, a woman Suzanne has never met.

Are there any Fallout RP projects?

Thu, 05/02/2024 - 22:12

I've been looking for roleplay projects in the Fallout universe such as a mod called Fallout 13 for Space Station 13.

To find a project where I can roleplay as a vault dweller, a wastelander, an NCR citizen or whoever is my ultimate goal xD

So... Is there anything like that? Any RP projects set in the Fallout universe? I haven't heard about any, 'cept for Fallout 13 and some GMod servers that are rather dead than alive atm.

AITA for being mad at my bf for not sticking up for me to his brother’s fiancée?

Thu, 05/02/2024 - 22:12

My (26 F) boyfriend (29 M) of several years doesn't stick up for me to his brother's fiancée. Bf and his brother are close now and in college, but his brother tended to have some manipulative ways over him (Bt admitted). She dated his brother for years in college and broke up but have since gotten back together and subsequently engaged. The fiancée came into the picture about a year after bf and I got together, but ultimately they all have known each other for 7+ years. I have only ever tried to be nice and friendly to this person, as I am friendly and on good terms with the brother. She makes me the butt of her jokes anytime we're around family as well as backhanded comments. She also does this while using our house as a hotel whenever they come to town. I have brought this up with him many times, to the point where it causes friction. He says he'll speak to his brother about it. That was 6 months ago, still nothing. He keeps coming up with things he needs to do first (e.g. talk with his family) before he goes to his brother. AITA for being upset he won't do anything?

My yearlong project to create the ultimate basic cooking guide!

Thu, 05/02/2024 - 22:09

As part of my senior project centered around cooking and food, I made an infographic specifically for those, who are deep down inside, a cooking dummy. Cooking has always been my passion, and after living in a dorm for four years, I've learned a lot about different cooking skill levels and cooking in the dorms. In today's world, it's really easy to never learn how to cook, either through a parents cooking, take out, or eating in the dining hall. This infographic is geared to those few who are going off to college or living alone for the first time and realize that they have not the faintest inkling where to start.

I've tried to keep it as basic as possible, with simple tips, answers to questions you might think are too stupid to ask, and easy recipes broken down to make it as dummy proof as possible. This information was compiled through my own experiences, research, talking with the school dining hall, and surveying my fellow dorm mates.

Again, I am just a high school student, so I obviously still have much to learn. I've tried to make it as accurate as I can, but take all info with a grain of salt. That being said, my hope is that you'll glean at least one useful thing out of my little project.

Cooking for Dummies Please note that no matter how hard I tried, the mobile version is blurry! It's still functional, but it runs much smoother on PC.

it’s okay to have bad days

Thu, 05/02/2024 - 22:09

I’m 23F and working through what is ultimately a lifetime of trauma. I’ve officially been diagnosed with depression, severe anxiety and PTSD - all which I’m medicated for. I’ve been in psychotherapy since September ‘23, once a week every Thursday, and I’ve never felt so confronted by my trauma. I think I’ve been to maybe like 10 or so counsellors in the past 10 years, but never have I ever been faced with the reality of my life like this. I always thought I had my shit under control, but now that it’s all been bought to light it’s hard to tuck it back into the place I dissociated from all this time.

During my session yesterday my therapist and I had a full circle moment, and be it that my therapy sessions are at 9AM it really set me up for an emotional day. And then last night once my partner got home, we had dinner and I showered, I completely broke down (which is very uncommon for me - feeling weak and crying is something that I struggle with because of my trauma). I laid there crying beneath the blankets just accepting that while nothing that’s happened is my fault, my life and the potential I had in life had been stolen from me. This is not to say I can’t do things with my life now to change this, more so that things could’ve been so different if certain people never became such significant forces in my life.

Reliving memories and stepping back to see the greater picture for how it was in your now adulthood is the most painful thing to experience.

I guess what I’m saying is, it’s okay to not be okay. Especially in therapy, because it gets a whole lot worse before it gets better. It’s confronting to face the music. It’s really fucking hard. But it’ll be okay.

The Tragic Murder of Sarah Ludemann / Mean Girl Murders

Thu, 05/02/2024 - 22:08

Has anyone watched the show, Mean Girl Murders? They just covered the Sarah Ludemann/Rachel Wade case the other day and I was very frustrated by the portrayal.

For reference, Alaina covered this case back in late 2020. This Morbid episode was my first exposure to the case and it’s really a case about two teenage girls fighting over a boy, but one starts carrying a knife and brings it to a fist fight. There was clear harassment on both sides, but in the end one was killed (Sarah) and one was sent to prison (Rachel)

My issue with the television episode was that it was seemingly biased toward the killer. Almost all of the interview subjects clearly referred to Sarah as the “aggressor” and Rachel as the one who was working hard to support herself. One of the “journalists” (I use that term lightly) started crying at the end over Rachel being in prison but had no reaction to the death of Sarah. Seemingly the only ones to hold Rachel responsible were the cops, who directly acknowledged that she stabbed the victim twice in the chest and tried to cover up the evidence.

I guess ultimately I’m curious if anyone else saw the episode or had similar sentiments. Also wanted to push forth because I feel like this narrative is irresponsible. Should these TV shows have an ethical obligation to not be biased? Should they have aired this case if they couldn’t get interviews with those related to the victim (re: victim shaming, as people on social media who’ve seen the show claim Sarah had it coming) Or am I expecting too much an ID tv show?
