Mountaineer brand beard care

I’ve been dating my partner for 1.5 years now, it’s one of those relationships where things got serious fast. We’ve been living together for a year now, and have plans to get engaged sometime in the next year, and then get married whenever we feel ready. Their were times in the past where my partner wanted to gender flip randomly on a handful of days. I would do her makeup and put her in my clothes and it would be a fun little day. I’m bisexual so I have no problem being attracted to women. She dropped the bomb a few weeks ago that she was in fact transgendered and wanted to eventually fully transition (except for bottom surgery, she says she’s pretty attached to her dick, and the surgery is just awful and it doesn’t always go right) anyway. I had imagined in the past how I’d react if I got news like this, I never imagined it would be a problem for me. My god was I stupid I felt gutted, I immediately started thinking about all the things I would eventually have to say goodbye to. First, it’s her beard, it’s not something I ever thought I would miss, I don’t really have a facial hair preference, but sometimes she would attack me with it and tickle my sides while kissing me, and I’ll never feel that again. I know this is all just gonna be one big grieving process. But my god is it so hard to grieve while being supportive. Luckily my partner completely understands how I feel and repeatedly tells me to be honest, even if I think what I wanna say could be hurtful, she doesn’t care and lets me cry and talk about the grief I’m feeling. She’s the most amazing person in the world. I’m trying so hard to not feel guilty about my grief because I know it’s inevitable, I’ve spoken to my therapist a few times now. But everything is so hard, and I know it’s probably not gonna get easier for a long time (she doesn’t plan on doing estrogen until after we have kids, in our 30s) People who have been through this, when does it get easier? When do you stop grieving? I can’t imagine life without her, so I’m going to do everything I can to make it work. But it’s harder than I could’ve ever imagined right now

I'm a 28F currently dealing with a revenge obsessed ex-boyfriend (36M) who has been stalking me online for at least 2 years now and is hell bent on destroying my life. Basically I was his first GF in 7 years at the time and prior to the girl before me who cheated on him he claimed he never had a GF except girls who thought he looked like Harry Potter in middle school. He is 36 and doesn't have a lot of experience with women so the break up is apparently still difficult for him to process even though its 3 years later and we have not spoken except me asking him profusely to stop doing this stuff.
At the time we were dating a few years ago I was dealing with some identity issues during our relationship which I was honest with him about, (identified as bisexual at the time, but was questioning my sexuality). We had some disagreements about it and he would always ask why he couldn't stay over early on in the relationship (~1 month into it). I ended up breaking things off with him after roughly 4 months because I felt like we weren't compatible and also because I had lost my job at the time and was dealing with personal issues on the side (severely depressed, was in therapy for it).
We were friends for a short time after the breakup until things started getting VERY weird. He began circling the road next to my apartment several times per hour EVERY DAY. At the time I considered it strange but had a limited knowledge of technology other than basic CS classes I had taken in the past. The internet would randomly shut off for 30 mins - 1 hour for no reason. I would later find out in the logs the router was being hit with DOS attacks several times per day.
I would also see my documents on Google Drive opened by strange usernames of fake accounts, and eventually had a remote access trojan on my laptop after he sent me photos of us through Google Photos which I suspect he used to infect my computer. He would backspace while I typed, open and close windows, click random things on the screen, and straight up mess with me for several hours per day every day for MONTHS.
Then eventually the computer crashed and would never start again. It was a $1500 Macbook Pro. My new car also mysteriously got something poured in the fuel tank and after a few weeks and several hundreds of dollars of new parts no mechanic could fix the car. My apartment was broken into repeatedly with subtle signs of forced entry but nothing stolen. Examples: Pry marks on the inside of the front door, side door and back door, personal care items like body wash, underwear or bras stolen or moved, coming home to find personal documents like medical records, tax records, and bank info layed out on my bedroom floor shuffled around. I filed police reports each time it happened but couldn't prove it was him.
My car has also been broken into a few times now with my dashcam broken off the mount, hidden under the passenger seat, stick figures taking a dump drawn on my windshield, and nails in my back tire and spare tire. I believe he put a GPS tracker on the car because I have heard someone outside opening and closing the car door but nothing was stolen. So far no mechanic has been able to find a tracker and I couldn't either. I had to stop using the wifi at my apartment because every device I use on that network gets hacked (multiple different laptops, 2 kindles, and 3 cell phones).
I found a keylogger on my M1 Macbook Pro (~$2000) which he also placed persistent malware on and I can not get rid of despite wiping the hard drive 8 times since this January. He defaced my professional website I was trying to use to get a job twice (first time put a pic of nude child and set his hacker username as my bank account number, added a redirect link which I stupidly clicked on and then it downloaded some sort of spyware or RAT onto my device, 2nd time he put up 2 women doing the deed also nude).
He has had remote access to this computer for an unknown amount of time and I can not afford to replace it. My cell phone also booted up into safe mode the next morning and the background was changed on my work/school email account. I tried taking my computer to a repair shop and they claimed if he does have a RAT on it, it is likely hidden on the recovery partition and they weren't able to find it or get it off my computer. This is a $2000 M1 Mac and he already destroyed my previous Macbook Pro which cost me $1500.
I also had to buy a new cell phone after I kept getting creepy phone calls and phishing texts from unknown numbers. When he put the new keylogger on my computer recently I saw where he made a folder which he named the digits of my new phone number. I had just bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy and he already got the new phone number for it and hacked it. He kept enabled the camera and microphone and while I was eating turned on the camera and started recorded me while I was eating. I factory reset the phone and he was still able to control the camera and mic on it.
I have reported him to the FBI IC3 unit 6 times now in the last year and now he is getting cocky about it and knows he will get away with it so he keeps doing it. He knows I am broke with no money and can't afford a new computer, to move away, or to keep buying a new cell phone every month and he seems to get off on trying to destroy my whole life. I have not spoken to him in 3 years now and we do not talk at all. I sent him a FB message telling him to stop explaining to him I have been going through a lot since my sister died a few years ago and just want to be left alone. He keeps doing it and won't stop.
He also recruited my crush who I never mentioned to him to help him with the hacking (my crush is a system admin) and now my crush won't speak to me at all and hates my guts. I have no idea what he said to my crush or how he got them to come after me but they have been going full on nuclear and won't stop. I caught him staking me out a few days ago at the gas station across from a wifi hotspot I was using where he was just sitting there for an extended period of time watching me. Then when I started drive near him he inched his truck like he was thinking about if he was going to follow me or not. He also knows when I come and go at night and drives by my apartment minutes after I get home at different times.
This guy seems to think I owe him something and has a serious problem. He just keeps doing all this and will not stop. While I am not the type of person to do anything crazy back, the police have done nothing and in terms of the hacking there is not a lot they can do. What can I do to at least expose this guy. I don't think he is ever going to stop until he kills me and this has got to stop.

I'd never really thought about this comparison before but I saw a comment recently that pointed out the two, conceptually speaking, actually do have a lot in common.
Both, at the time of their original stories, were brand new villains for Batman to face. The new hotness that's come to Gotham to f**k up his day, with a big part of the plot being the mystery of who The Phantasm/Hush is, with the reveal being...the only other new and significant character introduced for the story. Both Andrea and Tommy are retconned into Bruce's past and made very important to him (one being the woman he loved, the other his childhood best friend), with said past being shown to us in flashbacks throughout the story. And both serve as a dark reflection of Bruce himself.
With these similarities, why is it that I find one works way more for me than the other? Especially when I grew up with both these stories.
I'm definitely a bit in the minority here but I've never really gotten the hype over Hush. That's not to say I don't like the Hush story, just that Hush/Tommy Elliot specifically is just kind of...okay to me at best. Not bad but not one of Batman's villains I feel a strong attachment to or feel a lot of excitement over when he's going to be in something. I never feel the same as others when they say they want Hush as the villain for a movie or that he should have been the main villain of Arkham Knight. I could certainly believe a good writer could get something good out of his concepts, but as he is, as he was in the original Hush story, the story most people know him from and that put him on the map, he's just...okay.
But then there's Andrea, and while I don't think she really needed to appear in other stories after Mask of the Phantasm, since like Tommy it feels like a case of diminishing returns, I do still find myself a lot more attached to that character and feel like she was very well done despite conceptually being so similar to Tommy. With Hush I don't want him to be in anything more after his initial story because I didn't really care that much about the character, whereas with The Phantasm I didn't want her to be in anything after her initial story because I didn't want them to ruin what I felt like was already done near perfectly and wrapped up.
I think the difference comes down to two big things: Framing within the story, and characterization.
Both stories center around the mystery "Who is The Phantasm/Hush?", but the execution of both mysteries, the pay-off to them, and Andrea and Tommy's place within those narratives is handled very differently.
Hush, in my opinion, is interesting almost solely because of the mystery around who he is and how he manipulates events and Batman's villains to strike at him. When we get the reveal that he's Tommy, not much is added that replaces the mystery in order to keep him interesting.
Why did he do all of this? Because he resents Bruce for being able to inherit all of his parent's wealth as a child while his own attempt to gain the same was foiled by Bruce's father saving his mother's life after Tommy deliberately tried to get his parents killed. In regards to making Tommy a dark, twisted reflection of Bruce, this does work. While Bruce loved his parents, was deeply scarred by their deaths, and he'd have given up that entire fortune and more just to have them back, Tommy was willing to kill his just to get his hands on their money and hated his mother for surviving. But as the big conclusion to this big story spanning most of Batman's rogues gallery and all the manipulations and planning and gaslighting the villain had done, this motivation feels too...mundane. It's too petty.
Don't get me wrong, pettiness does not make for a bad villain motivation in the right context. My favorite supervillain of all time is Lex Luthor and half that man's plans are fueled by pure spite for Superman for daring to make him look bad by being a good person. But for all the build-up and everything that was involved this answer just doesn't feel satisfying. Even things like Tommy's mother always comparing him to Bruce or Tommy creating a new face to look like Bruce to steal his identity and fortune wasn't a thing until later stories. In the original Hush story, Tommy is purely just after revenge on Bruce for getting inherited wealth as a child while he had to wait until he was an adult.
This isn't helped by how little we really get to know Thomas Elliot and Bruce's attachment to him before the reveal.
I think one of the things that works best about Batman: Hush, more than the mystery around who Hush is, is that the whole storyline feels like a semi-celebration of Batman and a love letter to the character. It showcases a lot of his big name villains, shows Batman's connections to his allies, from the Bat family to Huntress to Gordon to Superman, marks the start of what, in my opinion, made Catwoman a genuine contender for being Batman's best romantic relationship rather than just another love interest, goes into Batman's history, from Jason Todd to Harold and even his childhood before his parents were killed, and all while throughout we're getting the narration boxes of Bruce's inner thoughts, going in on what he thinks of himself and everyone around him. It's one of those stories where if someone wanted to get into Batman comics for the first time or needed an introduction to the character (weird as it is to think that when the character is everywhere these days), Batman: Hush would be one of the ones I'd point out.
The story has a lot going for it...and Thomas Elliot gets lost in it all. We get to somewhat know what he was like as a kid, so much of which doesn't apply to him as an adult in the present because so much time has passed since then, and what we do get to know of him as an adult gets put into question once we find out he's Hush since he more than likely was putting on an act every time he interacted with Bruce. We don't even get that much interaction between him and Batman after the reveal of his identity is made in order to get to know the real him, nor does he even take off his bandage mask to fully confirm it's Tommy. He gets shot by Harvey Dent, falls from a great height, and then f**ks off until he can be brought back in an eventual sequel.
This is part of why I wasn't really that upset when the animated movie adaptation of the story had The Riddler be Hush instead of Tommy, who basically was the real mastermind behind everything anyway in the original and was the more impactful twist. He's the one who figured out Batman was Bruce Wayne, being the one to present that information to Tommy, and was the one who got all the villains to cooperate with the plan. Most important of all, I have a feel for who the Riddler is. But Tommy? He's...smart. Apparently. And petty....apparently. What is Tommy's actual character beyond "guy who wanted his parent's money"?
Let's compare all of this to The Phantasm and Andrea Beaumont.
Like with Hush, the main mystery Mask of the Phantasm centers around is "Who is the Phantasm?" but the scale is more simple. The Phantasm isn't after Batman but rather is knocking off members of the Valestra crime family and, intentionally or otherwise, is getting Batman framed for the murders.
Like with the flashbacks to Bruce and Tommy's past with each other, we get flashbacks of Bruce and Andrea's own past together. However, not only was it a past relatively more recent, and thus we get a better feel for who Andrea is since she's already an adult in the flashbacks, but the flashbacks are more central to the movie's plot and don't have a million other more memorable or iconic bits happening around them to take the attention away, in part because these flashbacks show us Bruce's own history with the Valestra mob. The flashbacks with Tommy often didn't have a lot of relevance to the mystery around Hush or what he was doing beyond the fact that they involved Tommy It was mostly Bruce reminiscing about his childhood. While the flashbacks with Andrea also served to give insight on the people the Phantasm is targeting and why someone would want them dead, Andrea especially. Even the Joker, who is brought into the movie to help spice up the climax, used to be a hit man for the Valestras, and in fact was the one who was sent to murder Andrea's father. He ties into the main plot of the mystery while all the rogues used in Hush were mostly there to just wear Batman down or throw him off Tommy and Riddler's trail.
We also get Andrea and Bruce interacting in the present, greatly aided by her quickly figuring out that he's Batman and the two being able to speak frankly to each other, and interacting after he figures out she's the Phantasm. And when we get the reveal that she's the Phantasm, her personality doesn't really change that much, meaning that while she was hiding the truth from Bruce she wasn't putting on a complete front. Unlike Tommy, who we honestly aren't sure if we know anything real about, we feel we understand Andrea quite well. While what we saw of Tommy prior to the reveal helped cover up that he was Hush, what we saw of Andrea had it make even more sense that she was the Phantasm after the reveal is made.
Why is Andrea doing all this? She wants revenge on the Valestra mob for forcing her to flee Gotham, keeping her from marrying the man she loved, killing her father, and basically ruining her life. It's a very simple motivation but the build-up to it is more appropriate given the size and scale of the story and thus that simplicity doesn't feel like a big let-down. And even more so, it makes her a good dark and twisted reflection of Bruce. A normal life upended by crime and corruption unchecked, Andrea took on a terrifying alternate identity to bring justice in a way no one else could/no one else would, but along the way became consumed by the same need for vengeance that Bruce has always had to keep himself from falling into, to the point there's nothing else for her. A sympathetic motivation isn't inherently better than a petty one for a villain. It depends on its context and how it's executed. And Andrea's sympathetic motivation works here because of the parallels with Bruce and how much of a tragedy it's written as. Bruce almost never became Batman because he was so unexpected happy being with Andrea, but the crime Batman was intended to fight against tore him and her away from each other, destroying both of their lives yet again, and ended up corrupting the woman he had loved so much, turning her basically into...well...him.
TL;DR: Despite their similarities and how obvious their mysteries are when you think about them even a little, Andrea Beaumont as The Phantasm works better for me than Thomas Elliot did as Hush for the following reasons:

• We get to know the real Andrea better than we do the real Tommy, both before and after the reveals are made.
• Andrea's motivations feel more appropriate to the story being told with her than Tommy's were.
• Andrea being a dark, twisted reflection of Bruce ties in better to the story thematically than Tommy being a dark, twisted reflection did.
• Both the Phantasm and Hush start off cool and interesting because of how mysterious they are. The more of Phantasm's mystery is revealed, we get enough backstory and characterization to replace it to still keep us invested. The more of Hush's mystery is revealed, the less interesting he becomes because there's so little to take its place.

This is a ranking of modern Minecraft updates (1.0 and later) based on how important/useful its features are, how much it changed the game and how fun it was/is to mess around with.
#21 1.10 (Frostburn Update) This update added a useless mob and an at the time basically useless block, who cares?
#20 1.1 This update added spawn eggs and a metric fuck ton of new language options, this isn't an update I'd be salty about since it only took a couple months to come out after 1.0.
#19 1.15 (Buzzy Bees Update) Another update that didn't add much that I wouldn't be salty about, it added a bit of cool somewhat useful stuff and fixed a bunch of bugs half a year in between the two biggest updates ever, I'm alright with this one. Maybe I'd be more into it if I cared much about redstone.
#18 1.12 (World of Colour Update) Concrete is great and parrots are cute but that's about all this update really has to its name, coloured beds and glazed terracotta too if you're into that sort of thing. I'm not.
#17 1.2 Added jungles, related things and miscellaneous stuff, it's a pretty decent update, especially for the pace that Minecraft was being updated at at the time.
#16 1.17 (Caves & Cliffs Part 1) The first part of the Caves & Cliffs update, the part that actually adds things but doesn't really update the caves or cliffs. I would consider this to be a great building and decorating update with plenty of 'aesthetic' blocks and items and cute axolotls to work with, although it doesn't really add much to your actual Minecraft gameplay experience.
#15 1.19 (Wild Update) Honestly pretty over hated, yeah it's a far cry from what they promised, but a nice new biome, original gameplay experience in the form of the deep dark and pretty good new blocks as well as chest boats and other stuff isn't too shabby in my opinion, although it definitely wasn't worth being the one Minecraft update for a year and a half.
#14 1.5 (Redstone Update) This is a controversial one, I know. Actually if we were just going off of what I personally use this would be even lower because I'm not much of a redstone person, but I do respect how important this update is for the community and its features are integral to the game.
#13 1.6 (Horse Update) Blah blah blah too high I don't care. Fuck horses, I just really like stained clay, leads, name tags, carpets and hay bales.
#12 1.11 (Exploration Update) This update doesn't have a lot, but what's here is great. Woodland mansions, Shulker Boxes, Totems of Undying. Need I say more?
#11 1.3 Just because this is a smallish update, doesn't mean it's not a really good one. Every feature here slaps. Villager trading, desert temples and jungle temples as well as book and quills, bonus chests and adventure mode. Hell yes.
#10 1.20 (Tales & Trails Update) The cherry grove is maybe my favourite Minecraft biome now, super beautiful, all of its blocks are super beautiful too, I adore all of the new bamboo blocks as well, I've been waiting for hanging signs forever and pottery is finally out after being delayed like 3 updates. This is probably gonna be controversial to be this high but whatever.
#9 1.9 (Combat Update) I don't play Java or care about your combat, calm down. This update expanded on the End drastically and made it a fun place to explore with structures and lots of loot to find including the fucking Elytra.
#8 1.8 (Bountiful Update) This update is pretty random but everything here is pretty cool, I don't have too many thoughts on it but yeah it's great.
#7 1.7 (Update that Changed the World) Great new biomes like the mesas, savannas and roofed forests, makes the world more fun to explore, adds new wood types and lots of new blocks and shit like stained class and blue ice. This update did in fact change the (Minecraft) world :)
#6 1.18 (Caves & Cliffs Part 2) This update may not really add anything, but that new world generation is so amazing it makes up for it in spades. The new mountain types are gorgeous and great places to set up a base and the new cave types are beautiful too and so fun to explore.
#5 1.13 (Update Aquatic) If I'm being honest, I do think this update is a tad 'overrated.' Nothing in it is THAT great. That being said, this shit added so many features it doesn't even matter. This update completely revitalized oceans, making them actually fun and rewarding to explore and that's something that takes a whole lot of effort to pull off considering how boring they were before so hats off to Mojang for this one.
#4 1.4 (Pretty Scary Update) This update doesn't add that much, but almost every feature is very important and Minecraft wouldn't feel the same AT ALL without these features. Beacons, carrots, potatoes, pumpkin pies, anvils, the wither, witches and more. Maybe I'm overrating this, I don't care though this update is amazing.
#3 1.0 The update that made this game complete by adding of course the End, as well as enchanting, potions and other important and fun shit.
#2 1.14 This update is SUCH a close second. It's one of very few modern updates to change basically every Minecraft day for me with all of its useful regular use features and great decorations like scaffolding, campfires, blast furnaces, smokers, lanterns, new villages, raids and an absolutely absurd amount of other cool stuff, this update was incredible.
#1 1.16 If 1.14 was the most iterative update (in the good way), 1.16 was the most innovative update. You can live in the nether now, featuring several new biomes with a bunch of new blocks, new mobs, a new structure, bartering mechanic, being able to set your spawn there with the respawn anchor, netherite and lots of other nether features and a few non-nether features. This update really does open up so many possibilities and new experiences and is the best in Minecraft history, IMO.

Mine is a hot shower. Sure, I like playing roleplaying games and watching stuff on streaming as much as the next guy, but hot water on my skin? That's where it's at. Sometimes you have to appreciate the simple things in life.
There are other things I like, of course. Aside from the aforementioned roleplaying games (see the second half of my username to find out which ones), I'm a big fan of technology, hockey, and animals. I have 2 cats and a bearded dragon, and am happy to share pics of any of them!
I haven't talked about myself professionally yet, and that's because there isn't much to say. I'm still in college, because I took a looong break from it and worked retail for a while because of mental health issues and later the pandemic. I'm in an engineering field and am hoping that'll go well. So no, my shit is not yet together, but when it is together, it'll be REALLY together.
So... politics and religion. Touchy subject which I'm approaching with all the grace of a bull in a china shop, but suffice it to say, I'm an atheist and I'm pretty far to the left. I staunchly refuse to date a conservative (not that they'd be particularly interested in my "child murder" supporting ass anyway), but I honestly don't care if you believe in a higher power, the universe, reincarnation, the flying spaghetti monster, whichever you like. Just keep in mind that I won't believe in them.
Oh, and one other important thing I won't do - reproduce. My bloodline dies with me, as a friend once told me. I don't hate children, though I do feel a certain discomfort around them (was the youngest growing up, never really had to change a diaper or whatever), like I don't know what to say or how to behave. But that's not the main reason I don't want kids. Mostly it's because I have mental health issues that I've been struggling with throughout my life and I think that even if I did want to have kids, it would be selfish of me to pass that on.
Physically, I'm 135 lb, five foot five inches, I have brown hair, blue eyes and I'm white. Picture will be available upon request. I prefer women who are average or slender like me. Oh, and you can be any height, I don't care, I only mention it because you likely do and I don't want an awkward situation where you start talking to me and find out I'm too short for your liking.
Penultimate paragraph. What I'm looking for right now is intimacy of any kind really. Long term would be nice, short term would be perfectly acceptable. I find it difficult to meet people using apps (I'm a 5.5 on a good day, and I know it), and IRL I'm surrounded by 18-22 year olds who are either A) too young or B) have no interest in me.
P.S.
I'd like to share pictures early, and ideally video call early. I have no patience for women with "broken phones" as I've encountered time and time again. I'm sorry, that trick is just not believable if it's been the case with 4 separate women I've talked to on here. if you're not willing to prove you are who you say you are, I have no interest in you.

Era of Recreation: 650,000,000 to 450,000,000 B.M.R
After sealing away his quarrelsome siblings, Etin and Eten, Etal embarked on the task of creation once again. Drawing upon the cosmic energies and his immense power, Etal chose two stars as the focal points for his new creation. With these celestial anchors, he shaped seven worlds, each unique in its essence and purpose.
Among the seven worlds, one stood out as the birthplace of life as we know it—Tar. Etal carefully crafted the landforms, sculpted the oceans, and raised the majestic mountains on Tar's surface. To ensure the harmony and balance of Tar's development, Etal placed three moons in the sky above: Toska, Eltars, and Liskos. These moons served as Eternal Guardians, their celestial presence overseeing the protection of Tar from external threats and influencing the ebb and flow of its tides. Their influence shaped the land, the climate, and the environment, guiding the evolution of life on the planet.
Recognizing the immense power and potential for destruction held by the elemental forces, Etal devised a method to contain them. He reached into the chaotic abyss of the realms and pulled forth physical manifestations of the elements. These powerful entities, known as elementals, were shaped and confined within separate elemental planes. Each elemental plane acted as a barrier, safeguarding Tar from the devastating forces of the elements. Simultaneously, they served as impenetrable boundaries, preventing the intrusion of both the Void and Chaos into the material realm.
At the zenith of the Era of Recreation, Etal embarked on his most significant creation—the Torch Bearers, also known as the Eternals. These beings, believed by some scholars to be the original ancestors of humanity, were bestowed with the sacred task of preserving the knowledge, wisdom, and the guiding light of Etal's creations. They were gifted with longevity and the inherent ability to channel the cosmic energies that flowed through the realms. The Torch Bearers became the custodians of Etal's legacy, upholding the delicate balance of the universe and serving as stewards of the evolving world.
Throughout the Era of Recreation, Tar flourished with life. It teemed with diverse ecosystems, populated by flora and fauna shaped by Etal's creative hand. The Eternal Guardians watched over Tar, ensuring its protection and guiding its development in accordance with Etal's grand design. The Torch Bearers, standing as luminous beacons of knowledge and virtue, played an integral role in the preservation and progress of Tar. They served as mentors, teachers, and leaders, sharing their wisdom and carrying forth the torch of Etal's legacy.
The Era of Recreation stands as a testament to Etal's creative prowess and his commitment to nurturing a vibrant and balanced universe. It is a time marked by the harmonious interplay of the elements, the guardianship of the moons, and the guidance of the Torch Bearers. Within this era, Tar blossomed into a world of wonder, its destiny intricately woven into the fabric of creation.
As the Era of Recreation unfolded, Etal's creations continued to evolve and thrive. The seven worlds, each with its own unique qualities, existed in symbiotic harmony, interconnected by the cosmic energies that flowed through the realms. The celestial bodies danced in celestial unison, casting their radiant light and gravitational influence upon the tapestry of existence.
The inhabitants of Tar, shaped by Etal's meticulous design, embraced their roles within the intricate web of life. From the soaring avian creatures that graced the skies to the elusive creatures that prowled the depths of the oceans, life on Tar reveled in its diversity and resilience. The flora, too, flourished, their vibrant colors and intricate structures painting a breathtaking tableau across the landscape.
Tar became a world of exploration and discovery. Its vast continents, adorned with majestic mountain ranges, sprawling forests, and winding rivers, beckoned adventurers and scholars alike. The Torch Bearers, custodians of Etal's wisdom, guided the seekers of knowledge, imparting their insights and unraveling the mysteries of the cosmos.
In the depths of the oceans, hidden realms teemed with enchantment and wonder. Luminescent creatures danced amidst ancient coral reefs, while ancient sea-faring civilizations forged connections with the mystical forces that flowed through the waters. The Eternal Guardians, ever watchful, ensured the balance of life and protected Tar from external threats.
The Era of Recreation was a time of profound growth and exploration, a testament to Etal's boundless imagination and creative vision. His creations flourished under his guiding hand, and the Torch Bearers, as embodiments of his legacy, embraced their roles with reverence and dedication. Tar stood as a testament to the beauty and intricacy of cosmic design, a world brimming with wonders waiting to be unveiled.

Hello everyone I’m a 26F. I’ve had anxiety for the past three years, honestly probably longer but wasn’t aware of it bc I thought it was just normal to feel this way.
I’ve been in therapy on and off (currently on). My primary care doctor gave me lexapro and hydroxyzine for my anxiety.
Here’s my issue: when I picked it up at the pharmacy I threw the paper baggies they come in on my passenger seat and I didnt realize they touched the tissue hanging out of a off brand Clorox wipe bottle I keep in my car to clean up messes. Any chance the liquid got in my meds?
I’ve brought this up in therapy but they didn’t give me a clear answer.
Please help. Thank you.

My boyfriend (21M) doesn't work, doesn't have a job, and doesn't go to school. All he does is play video games. He also says he designs clothes but he really just steals clothes from thrift stores and paints his brand's logo on them with acrylic paint. Whenever we go out, he has to ask his mom for money and asks her to drive us since he feels embarrassed when I drive him. He's funny and makes me laugh, but I feel like I have to hide who I am around him. I haven't told him I'm bi since he makes homophobic jokes at times. I really like him but it gets annoying at times when I ask him what his plans are for the future and his only response is "make it big".
My ex (18M) comes from a significantly lower-income household. He had to work tirelessly since he was 15. He saved up to buy his own car, as well as help his parents with the bills. He's really caring and I was able to feel like myself when I was with him. When I told him I was bi, he was very accepting. He wanted to understand more about my identity. I felt safe around him, but we had to break up since I was going through a rough patch in my life and didn't want to hurt him.
I graduated high school yesterday and there was a party after the ceremony. I went with my friends along with my ex since we're in the same friend group. My boyfriend, who I've been dating for 4 months didn't want to go because he was designing clothes. While my friends left me to party, my ex and I were left alone in the corner. We talked for a while and this overwhelming feeling of different emotions fell over me.
One thing I felt was a bit of melancholy. My ex told me he decided to join the Marines. I felt sad knowing that I won't see him for a while. I also felt sad since there were so many things I wasn't able to tell him after we broke up.
Another thing I felt was a bit of resentment. Not towards him, but toward my current boyfriend. I thought to myself, "Why does my ex talk to me with more respect than my own boyfriend? How is he more responsible than someone who's had everything handed to him his entire life?" At that moment, I wished I could be with my ex instead. I wished that I could just hold him and tell him how much I missed him.
I read somewhere that this sort of "phase" happens in most relationships: where one person feels that they're losing feelings for their current partner, but after they wait a while longer, their feelings come back. Does this sound like the case for me? Should I just wait it out and move on? I really need help.
TLDR: I think I still love my ex but I'll not sure if it's just a phase.

Hello there. I am a 20 years old guy from Romania, Europe. Lately I felt lonely and I decided to try my shot here trying to find someone truly special to share my days with. Currently I am working a full time job and I live alone in my own appartment. I am looking for someone to starts things slowly, not rushing it. I would like to talk about our daily routine, work/school, share our days about what happened or how we feel or any random topic we have in our mind. I am open to a long distance relationship. I enjoy videocalls and voicecalls aswell.
Some infos about my personality:
I am an introverted, shy and emotional. As a person I am caring, loving and protective and I give all my attention to the loved ones to make sure they feel good.
My appearance is the next:
Slim body type, 190 cm tall (6'2), 80 kg (176 lbs), blondish hair and blue eyes. I am open to exchange pictures too.
My hobbies and interests include the followings:
- Learning about new cultures and languages. Currently I speak two languages on native level which include Hungarian and Romanian and I would like to learn about other languages and cultures.
- History. My favorite topic of history would be the middle age (Eastern European) and the two World Wars.
- Geography. All the mountains, seas, rivers, lakes which are surrounding us are so beautiful. Since I live in a mountain city I used to hike too on smaller mountains.
- Sports. Mostly I enjoy playing and watching football which I used to practice too before, but now only as a hobby. Other sports which I like are handball and waterpolo.
- Music. I like to listen mostly to everything related to rock music and rap music. But I am open to other music genres too and I would like to hear about your music taste too.
- Gaming. In my free time when I am off from work I play games on my PC on Steam. Maybe we could play some games too together if you are up for it.
- Movies and series. I don't watch them that much, but if it's a good movie or serie I would not turn it down.
- Youtube. I like to watch travelling videos mostly. I like travel videos because one day I would like to travel too around the World if I have the opportunity.
If you are considering to send me a DM, make a small introduction. Mostly I use Discord to chat, if you are ok we can move there, but Reddit chat is fine too.

Hello all! Hopefully you're doing well. If this post is up you can assume I'm still looking. Anyway, as the title suggests, personality wise, I'm overall a pretty kind and caring individual. I'm very relaxed when it comes to most things and I can be somewhat a stoic reserved type, but am very chatty with my close friends or with a partner. With a partner though I am super affectionate.
My interests are more where that nerdiness comes into play. I love reading, fantasy and science fiction specifically. If I don't have a book in hand I generally have one in ear that I'm listening to. Besides reading I enjoy board and video games, swimming, anime, dnd, cooking and baking, a good cocktails, trying new places, and tea (boba too!). I may or may not have a tea addiction...
As for what I'm looking for, ideally I'd like a long term relationship. However I'm not opposed to something more casual and encourage you to reach out if you think we'd be a good fit. I just am generally hoping to find something long term.
Now physically I'm 31, tall, pale, moderately attractive, with long dark blonde hair, a well kept ginger beard, and because this is a kink reddit, well endowed. I'm happy to verify if we start chatting. Also note that I don't really have a hair preference for myself so I'm fine cutting it for a partner.
Kink wise I enjoy quite a lot. I'm a fairly experienced switch leaning Dom. Most of my experience is as a dom and I'm more than happy to only play a dom if you're not into switching. I'm open to only being a sub as well but I don't have a ton of experience soley being one so it might not be for me but am happy to try. When it comes to experience let me say I don't care what experience level you're at. I'm cool with you being new to this and only just starting to explore or if you're already experienced and well trained, all I ask is you be open to explore. If you are experienced or know what you like, know I have quite a lot of kinks so chances are we share quite a lot of them. We can talk more about specifics if we start chatting.
If I sound like someone you'd like to get to know give me a shout! Though please send a dm, my mobile app doesn't do chat.

I'm a 28F currently dealing with a revenge obsessed ex-boyfriend (36M) who has been stalking me online for at least 2 years now and is hell bent on destroying my life. Basically I was his first GF in 7 years at the time and prior to the girl before me who cheated on him he claimed he never had a GF except girls who thought he looked like Harry Potter in middle school. He is 36 and doesn't have a lot of experience with women so the break up is apparently still difficult for him to process even though its 3 years later and we have not spoken except me asking him profusely to stop doing this stuff.
At the time we were dating a few years ago I was dealing with some identity issues during our relationship which I was honest with him about, (identified as bisexual at the time, but was questioning my sexuality). We had some disagreements about it and he would always ask why he couldn't stay over early on in the relationship (~1 month into it). I ended up breaking things off with him after roughly 4 months because I felt like we weren't compatible and also because I had lost my job at the time and was dealing with personal issues on the side (severely depressed, was in therapy for it).
We were friends for a short time after the breakup until things started getting VERY weird. He began circling the road next to my apartment several times per hour EVERY DAY. At the time I considered it strange but had a limited knowledge of technology other than basic CS classes I had taken in the past. The internet would randomly shut off for 30 mins - 1 hour for no reason. I would later find out in the logs the router was being hit with DOS attacks several times per day.
I would also see my documents on Google Drive opened by strange usernames of fake accounts, and eventually had a remote access trojan on my laptop after he sent me photos of us through Google Photos which I suspect he used to infect my computer. He would backspace while I typed, open and close windows, click random things on the screen, and straight up mess with me for several hours per day every day for MONTHS.
Then eventually the computer crashed and would never start again. It was a $1500 Macbook Pro. My new car also mysteriously got something poured in the fuel tank and after a few weeks and several hundreds of dollars of new parts no mechanic could fix the car. My apartment was broken into repeatedly with subtle signs of forced entry but nothing stolen. Examples: Pry marks on the inside of the front door, side door and back door, personal care items like body wash, underwear or bras stolen or moved, coming home to find personal documents like medical records, tax records, and bank info layed out on my bedroom floor shuffled around. I filed police reports each time it happened but couldn't prove it was him.
My car has also been broken into a few times now with my dashcam broken off the mount, hidden under the passenger seat, stick figures taking a dump drawn on my windshield, and nails in my back tire and spare tire. I believe he put a GPS tracker on the car because I have heard someone outside opening and closing the car door but nothing was stolen. So far no mechanic has been able to find a tracker and I couldn't either.
I had to stop using the wifi at my apartment because every device I use on that network gets hacked (multiple different laptops, 2 kindles, and 3 cell phones). I found a keylogger on my M1 Macbook Pro (~$2000) which he also placed persistent malware on and I can not get rid of despite wiping the hard drive 8 times since this January. He defaced my professional website I was trying to use to get a job twice (first time put a pic of nude child and set his hacker username as my bank account number, added a redirect link which I stupidly clicked on and then it downloaded some sort of spyware or RAT onto my device, 2nd time he put up 2 women doing the deed also nude).
He has had remote access to this computer for an unknown amount of time and I can not afford to replace it. My cell phone also booted up into safe mode the next morning and the background was changed on my work/school email account. I tried taking my computer to a repair shop and they claimed if he does have a RAT on it, it is likely hidden on the recovery partition and they weren't able to find it or get it off my computer. This is a $2000 M1 Mac and he already destroyed my previous Macbook Pro which cost me $1500.
I also had to buy a new cell phone after I kept getting creepy phone calls and phishing texts from unknown numbers. When he put the new keylogger on my computer recently I saw where he made a folder which he named the digits of my new phone number. I had just bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy and he already got the new phone number for it and hacked it. He kept enabled the camera and microphone and while I was eating turned on the camera and started recorded me while I was eating. I factory reset the phone and he was still able to control the camera and mic on it.
I have reported him to the FBI IC3 unit 6 times now in the last year and now he is getting cocky about it and knows he will get away with it so he keeps doing it. He knows I am broke with no money and can't afford a new computer, to move away, or to keep buying a new cell phone every month and he seems to get off on trying to destroy my whole life. I have not spoken to him in 3 years now and we do not talk at all. I sent him a FB message telling him to stop explaining to him I have been going through a lot since my sister died a few years ago and just want to be left alone. He keeps doing it and won't stop.
He also recruited my crush who I never mentioned to him to help him with the hacking (my crush is a system admin) and now my crush won't speak to me at all and hates my guts. I have no idea what he said to my crush or how he got them to come after me but they have been going full on nuclear and won't stop. I caught him staking me out a few days ago at the gas station across from a wifi hotspot I was using where he was just sitting there for an extended period of time watching me. Then when I started drive near him he inched his truck like he was thinking about if he was going to follow me or not. He also knows when I come and go at night and drives by my apartment minutes after I get home at different times.
This guy seems to think I owe him something and has a serious problem. He just keeps doing all this and will not stop. While I am not the type of person to do anything crazy back, the police have done nothing and in terms of the hacking there is not a lot they can do. What can I do to at least expose this guy. I don't think he is ever going to stop until he kills me and this has got to stop.
